Keep me in the roof too. Keep me in the down. Cool. Yes, I forgot the roof slips. Oh dear, I've just killed. Let's see if it comes back. No, it's back. Yeah, is it still recording? Okay, super. Haven't you recorded the camera yet? What's that? Haven't you recorded the camera yet? So I did and then I looked for playback and... So now it's on recording. A few minutes to go, I suppose, five minutes? I'm trying to get out of the way. I'm filming. Oh yeah, that's all. Sorry? Yes, yes. I'm John. John, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. I love you. I love you too. You belong to... Yeah, go for it. So it's just starting soon. It's an example. Yeah, yeah. I don't know how far it is. Do you know how far it is? I don't know how far it is. Okay, so it's all recording. I'm below. So we have 60 minutes to go. I want to use the spoon. I'll sit on the other side. Can you have a look at those? Yes. Goli, can you sit in the centre? Hi, I'm David. I'm learning. David, you want to put it over there? I'm on your back. He's going to have the door to the back. There is line to breath. Listen to me. He's getting too nervous.

This play was developed at the Huntington Theatre in Boston. This is another chance for Patrick to look at the play and see how he's going to develop it further. It's important to know what people actually think. If you don't tell me or tell Patrick what the feedback is, we'll never know. Thank you so much for coming and I hope you enjoy the play. Sitting here has the time to kill. I see. You are travelling. Oh, business. Back to Houston. What is your business? I work for NASA. I'm an astronaut. With the space ships? Exactly. You go up into space? Just once. I used to be on the shuttle. Payload specialists before they shut the program down. And the stars do they look different from up there? You've never imagined a sky so dark and so full of light. There are so many stars and they're so bright. It feels like you could just reach out and touch them. But you can't because there's so much glass between you and them. On the other side, it's cold and empty. There's not a soul for all of eternity. It sounds very beautiful and very lonely. Sometimes it is. I would like to see the stars like that one day, inshallah. Something. Would you like a coffee? No, thank you. I'm sorry. My name is Malik. This is not to disturb you. I'm just waiting for my flight. I am bringing you a coffee. No, no, please, please, please. I bring you a coffee just the way you like it. Two sugars, two creams. This is the way you like it, yes? How do you know that? Tori, a Dunkin Donuts. She knew. That is where you get your coffee, yes? This is also where I get my coffee. I do not like the Starbucks. Lots of people buy coffee at Dunkin Donuts. You must be confusing me with someone else. Tonight, you like to get coffee sometimes. You do not sleep very much, I think. Two sugars, two creams. For me, this is just the start of the day. I don't know you. A cup of coffee. You don't know me? No, in friendship. I'm just passing through. I'm getting training here at MIT. That's why you see me. I'm a frequent flyer, waiting for a flyer. An astronaut, the stars. You are not going to him. I have my bag. I'm here at the airport. I'm ready to go. You come here, you sit like you are going to fly lately. You are here more. You act like you are here for a flight. But you never go. I have a flight. Maybe you use an old boarding pass, or perhaps you print it out on a computer. You are hiding, perhaps, in a place where you can be seen but not seen. I know what it is like to be invisible, but you have a choice. I think it is my uniform, my skin, my English. The travelers here, they don't see you. The TSA, they don't see you. But Toria, Duncan, Donuts. Carlos at the newsstand, they see you. I see you. You remind me of someone. And I wonder to myself, what is she doing here? Is she okay? Are you okay? I'm fine. What is your name? Sarah. It's nice to meet you, Sarah. No one is supposed to know me yet. No one knows me here. It's okay. I'm only bringing you a book. Airports are the safest places on earth. No, no, no, no. It is still the same. It's not easy to find a place where you don't have to live. If I end up talking to someone, I can be anyone. I don't have to be me. Last week I was a sculptor. You can be anyone you want. I do not mean to disturb you too. Quiet. Here. It's a place that's no place. That's what people think. That there is no here, here, but they are all. I love this place. People are on their best behaviour. No one shouts or screams or hits. You are still safe. I love that airports have chapels. I go there sometimes. I go there too. Once I rode the bus between the terminals all day blending in. It was like I vanished from the face of the earth. It was perfect. Someone like you should not disappear. I was fine. I was fine. What am I going to do? No, no, no, no. I will go. I do not mean to ruin anything for you. I know what it is like to want to be away to one's silence. I have made a grave mistake. You must stay. I will go. I will see you. I hope you will forgive me. Is your flight? No, I am leaving from another gate. I just had some time to kill. I see you are travelling on business, yes? Back to fitness. I am a heart surgeon. That is very impressive. Thanks. I look young, but I have had a lot of training. I am sure you are very skillful with the knife. If you ever had a heart problem you could come and see me. It is a very serious business to have a man's heart in your hand. I can't let myself think about it. Even for a second when I am actually in surgery. If I look down and see this heart, this limp and useless muscle in my hands and think if I don't get this working in the next ten minutes he is going to die. Then I freeze. In the operating room there is no time for second thoughts. No, no. When someone is gone, they are gone forever. Yes. It's nothing. Next time, but leave by the coffee. No, no. This I do. Dori at Duncan don't know she gives me two for the price of one. It's a very American thing. It's two for the price of one, but I like it. It's okay, right? Can a heart surgeon have double chocolate coffee? I've noticed you are staying here very late sometimes. Even more than before. It's not always safe to travel home alone late at night. I don't know how to say this to you. You are laughing, but your eyes, they are very tired. I don't know what to do, Millie. My neighbors fight so loudly and viciously. They have this baby and the walls are so thin. Stella, the baby, she cries and shrieks while they are going at it. I can't be the only one who hears them, but no one does anything. They know that this man likes to hurt people. They are afraid. To them fight like animals. Terry and Fran. When we passed in the hall the way he looks at me, I can tell. He knows I can hear them. A man like this can be very dangerous. Fran and I, we see each other in the lobby. We don't chat. We barely even say hello. I'm careful not to look too closely, but I can see the bruises. If you get too close, then you will be in danger. But the baby, I should do something. I should call someone, but I don't know who the police are. What would you do? To protect a child. Mother, yes, I would want to do something, but Sarah, what can you do? You must not get too close. I'm empowered. I should call. No. When I hear Stella crying, I can't help you thinking. You have a good heart, Sarah. You want to do the right thing. I don't know if I can take one more night of it. Maybe you don't have to. There is a place here, a closet, small, but it is big enough. There is a cot inside. No one goes down there, down past the doors. There is a place you could sleep. No, I couldn't. It is quiet. Away from everything, it is safe. You would be rested to not answer now. But think about it, because sleep is important. You must rest. If you have rest, then you will know what to do. It's tempting. To get to the room, to get to that part of the airport, there is a code, a secret code, a number. I will give it to you, but you must promise you cannot tell anyone when you got it. It is a very secure secret. I don't want to get you into trouble, really. No, no, don't trouble. Don't worry. You should not worry. Don't think about it. What are you making? I made a hat. Very skillful. It's pretty horrible. This is for a boyfriend, yes? No, no. Sorry. I don't need that complication in my life right now. That is good. Simple is very good. Do you have a big head? You have to start over. At least I know it fits. This is for me. You've been so kind. It's cold out. You need a hat. But this one is awful. I'm not sure where I went wrong. But you made it for me. I'll make another, a better one. You like this one? It's horrible. Please, please. Give it to me. I'll tell you make a new one. I will have this one. No one has ever made me a hat before. The next one will be better. You will think about what I said about the coat and the coat. Yes, you need peace and sleep mentally. I will. I followed you from your job. What are you doing here? I'm going somewhere. I have a flight to catch. Oh, you're flying? Please. Do you want to see family? There's no way they let you out already. I have to play football with the DA. Please, don't touch me. Do you think I want to hurt you? Have I ever even said so much as boo to you? Last night, Frenny and me, things just got out of hand. What do you want from me? Social services took Stella. I always said no kid in mind would ever end up with those assholes. Now they got her with some foster care bitch collecting 18 bucks an hour for every kid she pats on the head at night. Stella is my little girl. And now she's gone. Because of you. I can't help you. You're the only one who can. Talk to them. Frenny won't press charges, but they won't listen to us. All part of a pattern they keep saying, but that's not the way it is. Frenny and me, we're just human. That's all. She understands I've never hurt Stella. Everybody knows I'm a good father. I've seen Frenny's bruises. Well, she gives as good as she gets. No, wait, please. I'll beg you. Talk to them. Tell them. Help us get our daughter back. Get up. Get up. You don't have to like me. I see the way you look at us. You think you're better than me? I don't care. I'm not. A little girl needs her parents. Sometimes life is hard and your parents aren't there for you when you need them. Well, just tell them you made a mistake. Tell them you know you love our daughter and that we never do anything for her to. You never saw her bruise on Stella, did you? I've seen Frenny. I hear through the walls. Frenny's back home now, and I'm looking after her. She'll never forgive you without Stella. Maybe you shouldn't be forgiven. Maybe you should go fuck yourself. Frenny won't stop crying. It's like a river of tears that's sprouted from her eyes and just keeps flowing and flowing. She's a mother. She's a mother and you've taken away her daughter. I was trying to help. Well, you make things worse. But you can fix it. Can't you see? I can't. I can't fix anything. Not for you, not for me. You have to, Earl. Can you get back for your trip? You listen again to those walls and you listen to the sound of a mother's heart breaking. Then you tell her. Then you tell her why you won't help her get her daughter back. I'm not responsible for your life. You stuck your nose in where it don't belong. Now you're part of it. I'm not. You enjoy your flight, Sarah. When you get back, I'll be waiting for you right here. And you will help me. Here in Phoenix, another shot to be on that fly. You look familiar. Free from fly. I have a lot. Wish we got free from fly mouth for this job. Half my crew is out sick today, so here I am filling in. What's that? New gadget for the coves on these boarding passes. Oh, I printed mine at home. You can get a lot of that lately. It says this one's no good. I have a flight to catch. Please, I just need to get through. You got the wrong code. You're going to solve all that problem. Please, I'll miss my flight. I'll go back to the ticket counter. I'll mail straight it out. I can't go back out there. Sorry. It's been a hard day. Last night, my neighbors and the people I worked for there were so horrible. The world was so... I just need to get through to where I belong. I just need to go. Miss Sarah, just calm down now. No crime. That does not work on me. I can't stop thinking about her. Baby is so fragile. Oh, I know it's hard to leave her. Impossible. You're her mother. Yeah. He's grown. They never stop dropping you crazy, believe me. Did you, daughter? I understand, but... Please, please just let me... I don't think this ticket is fulfilling, I think. I've got close to a photographic memory. People think only idiots work here, but they underestimate her. I'm sure you're very intelligent. That's why they made me a super boss. I remember things, the tech. I missed my other flight. My boss called, and now he wants me to meet a whole other different client. I still end up missing your daughter. What? Oh, yeah. Well, there's no way around that. I'm a mother. Naughty. You have a picture. No. Not with me. I don't carry them on. I left them on code. Right. Yeah, I didn't think so. Pete, come over here and take over from me. Yo, Pete! Pete, code 829. 829. If you could just come this way, please, Sarah. This is a real ticket. I just bought it. Come with me, please. Where are we going? Sarah, come this way, please. But I really need to just... Don't make me ask again. Once it please goes away, it gets locked up. I'm on the table. I'm scared. Have you ever traveled outside of the country? No. What are these? They're knitting me. What's in here? I didn't. Oh, it's half the dinner when you fly. Food is very expensive. Why is your ticket a one-way ticket? I don't know when I'm coming back. Are you in a hurry to get out of town? I have meetings. A trip. You said you're a boss called. New clients all that. What kind of company is this? A mattress company. I do graphic design. Well, no, I meet with hotel chains and advise them on mattresses and hotels buy a lot of mattresses. My company... The agent something they should not be. How do you mean? Take off your car again. Your company, the things they do, the people you work for. Is it drugs? What? Raise your arms. Do they sell drugs? No, just mattresses. Do they put drugs in mattresses? No, there's no drugs. They're rude, cruel. They say things that people shouldn't say. Do they make you do things you shouldn't do? I'm just trying to do my job. I'm going to quit. But you're still flying for... I need to go to my gate. I really need to go. Why? Have I done something wrong? Have you? No. No. Did you check any load? No. I don't have much. I benefit. You lie to me, sir. I need to get my gate. Lying to a federal security officer is a crime. I bought a ticket. Punishable with a fine. Ask at the counter. I was just there. It was all the money I had. There's another room where you will have to take off all of your clothes. If you ever lie to me again, you will go to that room. And it will be a long time before you come out. Why are you doing this to me? Aren't you a mother? You asked me just like that. And the tears. Let me ask you. Are you a mother, Sarah? Are you? That's what I thought. Don't lie to me. Don't pretend to be a mother. Am I clear? I'm sorry. Do we understand each other? Yes. I understand. Okay then. We're done. Have not lost. Not the security line. You heard? In this place I hear everything. I see everything. You met Madam Moon. She can be very funny, but she is also very hard. Fears. Maybe that is the word. Fears. She's a freaking psycho. Something has happened. I made the call. Last night I had to do something I had to. All night Terry and Fran were screaming at each other. The banging and the crashing over and over and over again. I picked up the phone. Should I call? What will Terry do to me if I call? He'll know it was me. All night dishes breaking, doors slamming. Are there fingers in the jam? The phone was in my hand and the baby was crying. Screaming. So I called. What's your emergency then? How do they ask? What do I know for sure? I don't see. I just hear but it's enough. Why did I wait so long? That's what they should have asked me. You should not go back. The cops let him go. Just like that. He found me at the entrance to the terminal. I knew if I could just get through security. Frannie's already gone back to him. He knows it was me. I'm safe here but I'll never get through security again. Not after all that bullshit with Marlene. He's out there right now waiting for me. He knows where I live, where I work. Don't go back. Not to the job, not to the apartment. I went to work after being up all night and they were on my case. Why do you look like shit, Sarah? I tried to explain but they mocked me. Useful what happened is a joke poking at me all day long. So I quit. Yet another failure and a string of failures. They were hurting you. How can I go back to any of it? Sometimes you cannot go back. Sometimes the door closes and you are not meant to open it again. I just wanted to... The baby kept crying. I just wanted to protect her to find what's best for her. I know, I know. Where will I go? We will find you somewhere safe. I need a gate where people will be stranded all night where I can blend in. There are blizzards in the Midwest. What's the gate from Minneapolis? I know some place better. Remember that room I told you about? The one that got inside where it is still there? I don't know. No, no. Do you think you are safe in your apartment? No. You will be safe here. No one will bother you. It is forgotten. You really think it's okay? As long as you are on this side of security, there is nowhere you can be more safe. Sarah, you are in danger. And now it is my turn to help you. We have a safe place for you. You will come with me. I will give you the code. It is very peaceful there. You will be safe. So far from the heart of the building. In the terminal and airport seems like a quiet place. It's an illusion. You will soon get used to the sound. What's this? Something from a long time ago. It is the hand of Fatima. Maybe it will watch over you. It is okay? Sure, it's not. This isn't... Am I taking your bag? No, not now. There was a time where I used to sleep here. But now I have my own apartment. It is not much bigger than this. Are you sure this is alright? Yes, yes. You should not worry too much about other things. This is okay. When you need a shower, you can go to the admirals club. I worked there that night. I have the code. No one will see you. I don't want to get you into trouble. I make a great many things around smoothly in this airport. You would not think so. People look at me. They say, oh, there is Malik with his broom. He is nothing. It's not what I think. There are people in this world who would like to be seen. I am not one of those people. I have been here a long time. And there are some things that I know on this room is one of those things. I changed this door when I was sleeping here. There is one lock on the outside. I have the only key. There is a copy. And there is this lock on the inside. When you turn it, no one can come in from the outside. No one will disturb you. There is something I need from my apartment. It's small, but it's... Sometimes the small things are the most important. But if you leave, this man is waiting for you. And Marlene, she knows you now. You will never be able to return. We will find a way of getting you things. Maybe I can go and get them for you. It's too much to ask. You are not asking. I am offering. Stay here tonight. And I will get your things in the morning. It will all be okay. I don't know what to say. It's been a long time since... This is not just for me. Not just for you. It is for me. It will make me feel better to know that you are safe. Marlene, people like you. People know you. You're friends. You do a good job. These days that doesn't describe fair men's pain. But that's you. Good only. My English is not so good. But I work hard, yes. Do you know why I got promoted this week, Marlene? No, but congratulations. I got promoted because I do a good job too. My job is to find things that are not right. To catch lives. And I can be friendly about it. Like you. You clean things. You're friendly about it. My job is just like yours. My job is to keep the fill off the plane. To keep gun baggage from sneaking on guns and bombs and box covers. My son, Jimmy, he's in Afghanistan right now because someone like me wasn't doing her job on September 11. Right here in Miss Air Force. You got kids, Lly? For 10 years, I am an American. I have my papers. That's okay. I only see those right now. Maybe later. But before you were an American, what were you? I lived in Algeria, and this was many years ago. You lived there with your wife, your children, maybe a daughter. That's what I think. A daughter. She'd be wrong now. When's the last time you saw her, a wife? I know what it's like, Jimmy's been gone a year. And that's hard, but for you maybe it's been a lot longer. A daughter of a family with care. A young woman, not too flashy. I'll bet you spray. You're a pussy. Lly? Pussy. I found it. It was a lost bank. I was just returning it to the baggage claim. Good Samaritan. You were doing someone a favor. Some of the guys here, they said, oh, he's stealing because they're suspicious. They don't trust you because your English ain't so good. But they don't trust anybody. That's what they get paid for. But it weighs effort too. For me, it's trying to figure out who to trust. Why do I want to trust you, Malay? I am not a thief. That's the truth, isn't it? I checked all the records. Do you know how many bags are lost in our airport every day? Not as many as you think. Doesn't fit most, but they're all reported. Because people value their things. So I checked all the reports. All of them. And this is not a missing bag. This is not a lost bag. It is not a stolen bag. Yes, this is what I tell them, and I am not a thief. No, you are not. Yes, thank you. Can I go now? But if you're not a thief, what are you? I'm a janitor. I clean. It's just clothes and shoes and a hairbrush and toothpaste. Yes. Why? Where are you going? Where are you taking? I do not understand. Don't bullshit me, Malay. Your English is almost as good as mine. Where is she? Your daughter. My daughter. That's who it is, right? Now she's wild, the style's too young. Now she's hiding out, sneaking into the country to see her long lost papa. Maybe sex her up, something sensible to start off. Is she here? Who? On her way somewhere else. You're smuggling her into the country. Where's your daughter, Malay? I do not know. Where is your daughter? I cannot see. You tell me. I will make you tell me. You will regret. See the light of day again if you don't tell me. I swear to God. Where is your daughter? Stop. Where is she? You want to help her. You can't help her. You can't hide her. You tell me where she is and maybe it won't be so bad. But you gotta tell me where is your daughter. Dad was seven years old. I was here, they were there. I did not want to be a soldier anymore but I could not do the things they asked me to do. So I left. I was trying to find a way to bring them over but they were in a war and their fathers are not there to bury them. I wish you were alive. So do I. Look. You don't make a mistake. I am not a thief. I didn't think you were. I never thought. I think you should let me go now. I have work to do. There are places that need to be cleaned. Yeah, okay. You go back to work. I'll keep this to remind me. You're telling me the truth but you're not telling me what I want to know and I don't like that leaf. I don't like that at all. I'm sorry. I'll be watching you. Are you all right? Yes. I am thinking of people and places. People I lost a long time ago. And it still hurts? Yes. When I look at you, it helps. You are the one helping me. I don't. I'm glad. You are bright. Like a candle. Fragil. Help me. I'm tougher than you think. I've been thrown up. Maybe we're not so different. Maybe not. Did you have any luck at my apartment? I have failed you. What? Marlene, she has taken the suitcase with your face. She took it? She brought me to our office. She had many questions. What did you tell her? I told her nothing about you. You are safe but I have lost your face. They're gone? Yes, she has the suitcase with everything. She has the envelope? No, no, I could not find it. It should have been on the nightstand on the milk crate by the bed. It should have been right there. I looked hard. A white envelope. There were some photos in it. You're sure it wasn't there? I did not see it. It had to be there. It was there. Marlene does not have it. Just to close. How could not be there? How? It has to be. It is hard not to have your things, but Marlene does not know she does not know that you are here. I'll have to go and look for it. No, no, no. I have seen this man, this Harry at your apartment building. I have seen him also here in the airport. You saw him here? This morning. Yes. Outside the terminal. Pacing like a jaguar. He must be some way on he get past him. What did his wife look like after he had finished meeting her? She was a bloody mess. And he loves his wife. He does not love you. He thinks you are taking his daughter to lose a daughter. She's the end of the world. And he blames you. Such a man will stop at nothing. I did the right thing. He did. And now you must let me help you a little longer. Do not rush away, not now. I will try again. I will look harder. This is my mistake. For some mistakes, there is never a remedy. But this I can do. You will let me fix this mistake. Yes, I will get you some proof. And then tomorrow as soon as I can, I will go back to your apartment. I will find your envelope. I will look harder. Something that I can't afford to lose. I understand. But I must be careful that he does not see me. And you must be patient. Can you be patient, please? I'll try. I will. You won't be fine. See that plane? All the runway? Taking off? I see. Yes. Watch it. There it goes. Keep watching. All the way up. All the way they go so fast. Stay with it. Focus on the light. Stay with it. It's still there. And now it's gone. Like a star that disappears. Even after I can't see it? I know it's still there. It's not visible. Sorry. I remember you, Sarah. You're the lie. That was a mistake. I'm sorry. You don't belong here. You don't have tape. I did. You saw it. So you should have left. You belong days ago. But here you are. I'm just on my way back. Connecting. I'm leaving. If you lie to yourself, it's easy to leave. You lie to everybody else. Don't worry. You don't need to run. It's not today. I'm not on duty. I'm not bothering anyone. I promise. I just need to stay here a little longer. Until what? Until the world outside disappears. That was your hope before. Wait. Oh, I'm sure. Does it work? What? I'm here. Honestly. Maybe I don't see it because the world seems completely covered in bloodshed and darkness right now. But if it works, I need to know. It used to? I mean, hell, I can read. I can knit. Drink coffee. Watch the world go by. I can do that. Couldn't I just do that? You could try it. Does your mother know where you are? I don't know. Don't lie to me. No, she doesn't. Call her. Whatever story it takes, but tell her something because not knowing is hard. I mean, parents understand our kids will grow up and eventually grow up and live their lives in faraway places. I'm glad I raised Jim with me and man with sense of responsibility. I'm glad he signed up. People say the word denial is a bad thing. You deny the idea that they might never come back because if you don't, what kind of life is that? My mother doesn't care where I am. Shit. Of course she cares. She's your mother. Do you know what that means? That's right. You're the pretend mother. You don't know anything about me. Oh yeah, you're a big goddamn mystery. Call your mother because you're going to need some place to go after I get back. I will be spitty next. I will break things. I will tear apart this whole fucking airport to find you and anyone who has ever helped you. Everyone is like, Marlene, take some time. Take some time to do what. Listen to the echoes of my empty house. No one can actually get any better when you're there in the ground. That's where they stick. You're a son. I've had three days. I can't take one more. Sorry. Tell me, screw you, Marlene. I'm staying right here. Go ahead. But don't you dare tell me. I'm so sorry for you. I'm so sorry for you. I'm so sorry for you. Screw you, Marlene. I'm staying right here. That's much better. My mother kicked me out when I was 19. She doesn't give a shit where I am. Being a mother is hard. Sometimes we fuck it up. There are plenty of ways to mess up our kids. Whatever happened to Jimmy, it's not your fault. Don't try to be not to make it. Take it, please. You're going to miss your flight. You're testing me. Maybe that's it. This isn't your airport, Sarah. It's mine. Don't be here when I get back. How about your son? Two pretzels and an orange juice. Regular pretzels or low salt? Regular. That'll be $6.79. We have mustard and honey, powdered sugar, ketchup. Who puts ketchup on a pretzel? Some people put it on everything, I guess. No, you. Maybe you're thinking of someone else. Sarah, the myth. That was not good. It was nothing. Don't think you changed anything. Okay. How are you? You might think you know me, but you don't. I know you though. Not even a little. What are you doing here? I work here. Since when? Not long. I don't like this. You don't have to like it, but I work here. You shouldn't be here. And you should? I work here. Didn't they tell you to take some time off? To collect yourself, to adjust? Where else am I done go? Don't. I can rip that down right out your throat. This is my place. You can't help. Well, it's a lot better if you're getting out there, isn't it? Where's your manager? He ran. He's here like once a day. We just serve pretzels and drinks. It's not exactly complicated. You should not be unsupervised. You're clearly a risk to passenger safety. Passenger safety? I need to talk to your manager. He's not here. He shouldn't just perish. People shouldn't just perish. He's just not here. He'll be back tomorrow. It's okay. Take a breath. Go eat your pretzel, drink your juice. Not from you. I'll have to make a report. I'll talk to your manager and his boss and his boss. I'm not bothering anyone. Why? I'm harmless. You're a rock in my shoes. Please. Whatever you're looking for, you can't find him here. Who's your supervisor? I am a supervisor. Who's your boss? He should know you're not ready to come back to work. I am ready. He won't think so. You know what he'll say. Take a little more time, Marlene. He'll feel sorry for you just like the rest of them. I'm ready. You'll see it in his eyes. I'll find out his name and I'm going to give him a call. He wouldn't dare. He's probably one of our customers. I'll tell him you were down here harassing the pretzel girl. He won't believe you. Yes, he will. Because they don't trust you anymore. They're watching for cracks. They know you've changed, but they just aren't sure how. I can't stay in that house one more minute. I need to be here. Then we have something in common. From your apartment. I can see that. It is all right. It's more than all right. I want to make it... It's not right for you to be in that closet. It is still the same, but maybe it's still a bit different. It does. It is not. It's not. Thank you. I'm glad you like it. Did you find the envelope? It's not there. I don't understand. It's everywhere. No one could have looked harder than I looked for this envelope. I would have found it. I don't... It is gone. Gone. Even without them, you will remember. No matter how much you remember, you cannot change what happened. Even though your life has made you so sad. Sometimes I think I'd make a million different choices. That I'd go back to search out for the route at one moment, one decision, and yang it out. But no one can go that far back without ceasing to exist. That's not a trade I'd make. Seren, you are very wise for someone so good. Wise. Me. Look at me, pretzel girl. There is no one who looks at me and says, Oh, Derek Rosara, she's so wise. And there is no one who really sees you. But maybe tonight they will. I have something for you. What's this? I would like you to have it. I hope it's fake. Really? Will you wear it? Put it on. I will buy you some dinner. You will go to the bonfire. You will eat a real meal. Even though it is in the airport, it is a real restaurant. No more pizza and pretzels for just one night. I don't mind pizza. You are safe here. And this is good. You must stay here. But you still can have a life. You will eat a little food. You will smell beautiful flowers. You will wear a beautiful dress. You will see that way you are. And who you are right now, right here. This is okay. Will I? And once you see this, the whole world, that will be open up for you. You make it very hard to say no. Is it working? Yes. Yes, you win. Let me try it on. It will fit. You will see. Shoot. I will wait for you. Marlene! Marlene! Marlene! Marlene! What? Are we old friends now? I'm surprised to see you down here. Not many people are down here. It is a long way from the... Yeah, not my world. Why are you here? I can go anywhere I want. Of course, yes. This is my airport. Yes, but it is late and you have... What's in there? Supplies. For my cards, I keep it locked. So no one can steal anything. No one can put dangerous things in there. It's always locked, secured. Very safe, very secure. I wasn't looking for you. I would not think so. There is no reason. Exactly. I'm a little lost. Oh, well, I can show you. I'm not lost. I know where I am. I am done filling my card, so I am leaving to clean. I work hard. I clean things. I fix things. Oh, no. I remember you. I remember you. I remember you. Why are you here? I was looking for you. You have found me. Now we can work together, yes? You know what? Down here. Deep down, there's a hum. Everything cut out except for the heartbeat. It is not always quiet, but it is very peaceful. Except the heart. You don't see it, but it keeps pumping. Hearts aren't meant to keep pumping. I should be. I expected it to be lonely down here, but I don't know. I think I like it. Some people it is okay. Do you get lonely when that happens? Is it better to just give in too? Sometimes. But looking into that pit, into the darkness, I'm afraid if I do, I'll never crawl out. Do you miss her? You're done. Of course you do. I'm stupid. I just... You were ready apart when it happened, but you knew you'd see her again someday, and you had hope. And then... And then... And then it was gone. I shouldn't be here. I'm sorry. A long time. Maybe only now do I start to feel my heartbeat again. My son. I know what happened to your son. And is she your daughter? Still there in you. Still saying. She's there, yes, but not the same. I am not the same. For a long time, I've not let the world see how black I am. Inside, I stay good old in my league, but I am empty. And then one day a light shines, and I start to be closer on the inside to what people see on the outside. Every day this light in me includes. I saw a coffin going around, but they wouldn't let me see his body. They wouldn't let me see him up there, and I'll feed him down on the kitchen table. Been there a week now, but I can't bear to touch me trying to build a red white blue. That's my son. Your son is Sean. And you are broken, and nothing can put you back together again. Aren't you supposed to try and make me feel better? No. This is not why you come and look for me. I know not to try. To the world. The empty sound. I was never here. No, you never talk to me. I'm fine. Yes, of course, you are strong. I should go. Yes, you have much work to do, and so do I. A little turn around. It is very confusing down here. I will take you. I took her away. I couldn't get out. It was important that you did not come out by accident. She must not find you. I locked the outside lock. You locked me in. I needed to take her away, so she would not find you. And then what? You forgot about me? Of course not. I could never forget about you. Why didn't you come back? I was coming back, but then my boss he sees me. I must do a job for him and then another job and then another. I'll hurry as fast as I can. I worry that they are watching me. I cannot be locked in. Do you understand? Yes. But I had to be careful. I came as fast as I could. You are safe. Don't lock me in here. Never. I will. I'm fucking serious. I understand. It was a mistake. Are we friends? Of course. Because I thought you were my friend. I thought all sorts of things. I am. Friends don't lock each other in tiny little closets. I know. And then they'll come back. Please. Come. This is the kind of shit that always happens. Please. Let that play. Let that play. This is crazy. This is my life. Look out here. Don't leave, please. Just do a game for now. Don't be here when I get back. And don't follow me. Stop trying to help me to protect me. Just stop. It's my life. My fucked up, stupid and consequential life and you can't fix it. Do you understand? You have to take it. Neither do you. You can't get past security. I've got a cousin who works in the bag. Just leave me alone. If you want your daughter back, I don't have anything to do with that. Is that what you tell yourself? Granny was screaming. You were having a fight. I could hear. You don't know what you're saying. You've got a big imagination. The ambulance came. But she exaggerates. She was back on her feet in an hour. I've seen her bruise it. Ask yourself. Did you ever even talk to her about this? You think you did her a favour? You think she'll thank you? You put her daughter into foster care. No, you did. You did more harm to Franny than I ever could. I was helping. Didn't help Stella. I'll tell you that. And I never laid a hand on her. Tell that to her case worker. They won't listen to me. Franny tells them they won't listen to her either. Well, maybe she's better off. Or I'll reach my hand in there myself and yank it out. I'll scream. Get us kicked out of here. We're both the outside. I can drive you to the office. We'll be front of the line in the morning. I'm not going anywhere with you. Franny left. She went back to live with her mother. We're still not around. She can't even better look at me. Like I'm some horrible, deformed creature. It's the tears. They make some sort of fun house lens. She can't see me straight. It's all distorted. I can't help you. You won't. I can't. I think you might. I think you know something about losing things. Important things. A landlord in me? You may know what your apartment is. Just to make sure nothing bad had happened to you. Those belong to me. Oh, I know. Look at him. Almost worn thin like you looked at him a million times. Please. So fragile. What was the name? Give them to me. Just a few hours old, yeah? In you. Even more like a child than you do now. She has your eyes and your chin. Yeah, I definitely see that. Darker skin though. The daddy black. A little jungle fever for me, Sarah. I don't mean anything to you. What did grandma and grandpa say to that, eh? I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Michael. I'm sorry. What happened to her? I made a choice. Even though it left a hole in your heart, you still picked up that fucking phone and took away my daughter? You are something. You know how it feels. I do. And what am I supposed to do now? Suffer. Just like the rest of us. Or get your act together and win her back. At least you still have a chance. You think so? Maybe. Lyon. You think I got what I deserved? You think I'm scum? Maybe I am. Think I'll hold on to this. Don't do this. You come at me and let off this tomorrow. You walk in there and you say, I'm sorry I called. It was a huge mistake. Terry and Freddie are wonderful parents. You help me get my Stella back and I'll give you back what you owe us. No. I should have called months ago that I was a coward. I knew what would happen and you. I just prayed to God my daughter didn't get a place with someone like you. Fuck you. I'll finish you. I'll finish you right here. Then we'll find out how much you really love Stella because if you touch me, you will never see her again. For most of us, when we lose someone, they're gone for good. It doesn't have to be that way for you. Don't blow it. Drag behind me. Inside now. What about you? Time to finish our little talk, Sarah. You, the girl for the errand boy. I see you at the apartment. Go home. Fuck off. What you want is not here. What I want is right behind that door. Go away. Get the fuck out of my way. Sarah, I'm coming to you little mouse. I want your daughter. Oh, Sarah's got a big mouth. This will not bring her back. She bragged about what she did? So fucking high and mighty. I'll tell you one more time. Get out of my way. No. Sarah! You can't have it. Give it to me now. I swear to God I'll kill you. You will never open that door. I said, give me the... Give me the fucking key. Give me the fucking key. You son of a bitch. I know what you have inside of you. I will finish you. I will finish both of you. You will not take it away from me. No, this time, please. You must stay just for a little while. Please, be calm. Are you okay? I'm okay. Where is Terry? He will not touch you. I can help you. I'm getting pleased to let me out. Soon, soon but not now. I am sorry you must wait. I will be back soon. With the leak? He could move a camp. Posed to. I saw people who were keeping secrets. Works here. Has been sneaking around. Someone gave out a security cover. Trying to blow something up. Or maybe smuggling something in. They smug a person. It's not your daughter, is she? No. Because your daughter is dead. Don't want to choose that time. But then I'll find Sarah. Are you pervert? Is that it? Never laid a hand on me. Not yet. Let's see. So happy. Washing over the poor little urchin. Tell me what happened. Don't keep lying to me. That's not who you want to be. You want to be more than just Sarah in the locker. We all make mistakes. I'll let you go too many times. You can't make me wonder. What is it about her? Why do I keep seeing her? You disappear. You're almost it. It doesn't have to make any sense to you. You don't have to lie anymore. I'm sorry if it offends you. That's it. You offend me. And you. You definitely offend me. It's a life you believe, but you let me down. The world is a dangerous place. You notice. We try to keep them safe, and then we fail. If you had your son back, what would you do to protect him? Everything? Give me your keys and your badge. You don't work here anymore. You go quietly. No HR, not a word to anyone. Just go. Understand? I understand. I never see you in this airport again. I don't see you ported back to Algeria. I'm a medic. Good for you. Then I'll have you sent to an American jail. You will never see a son again. Come right now. He told you. So am I. If he hurt you, you can tell me. I can still find him for a little while. Whatever he did, we can. He tried to protect me. That's all. That's the way you want it. It's the truth. I don't think you know very much about the truth. What's that he gave you? Just some photos. Let me see. I can't give them to me now. This isn't mine. She's never really mine. Well, maybe she always will be. Something in her, something in you. Did she have any? I followed them after the final meeting. After I gave her away. I could barely walk, but I followed them. The airport, I couldn't let her go. I couldn't, and then they were all on their flight home. Home. All I could do was watch them go. I'm going to do now. Something else. Do you have some place to go? Not really, no. Because there's room in my house. In your house? It would be temporary, just until. It's very kind of you. No, I don't need to be here anymore. Well, that's fine. I don't see you again. And if I hear you whisper, something with a tweet, Facebook post, email or something, I'm just calling the newspaper. I know you won't. Get out. What is it that you do? Malik. Maybe you are a sculptor or a surgeon. You know what it means to hold a man's heart in his hand. I used to be a tempo, doing graphic design for a mattress company. I'm not sure what's next. There will be an astronaut. You have to see the stars. I brought you a coffee. Two sugars, two creams. That's the way you like it. You shouldn't be here. No, but this place is not so easy to leave. I needed to see you. Your hands are shaking. They are mine. And what they have done belongs to me. I'm not sorry that I called, but I am so, so sorry for what all of this. I am the one who needs to be forgiven by so many. Maybe someday you will give this to me. I already have. I should not have. I'll let you. But I wouldn't let it happen again. Not from anyone. Yes. Was this for your daughter? She'll be watching over you now. You should not worry about me. You are going to fly. I bought a real ticket. I am glad for you. I'm ready. You are ready for a thousand flights. Before it in the office, in Marlene's office, there are many hard things in life. Goodbye is the hardest. Yes. Sarah, have a good life. Stay safe. Blow old. All of these things I wish for you. For you I wish peace. Goodbye. It's called The Prince William Henry. But if you'd like to go, just go through and have a drink. We just need five minutes to clear up. Thank you very much.
