Events are afoot but this is no game. The players are set but they are not playing for points. A win here is simply walking away with your soul. Pay attention. The lesson lies in your questions not the answers. Who done it is not as important as why they did it.

There’s a man...
HEATHER
Where?
LUCY
There in the mirror.
HEATHER
What? No one is here.
LUCY
I was trying on these jeans and he was there, just behind me. There! Right there.
HEATHER
I’ve been just outside your dressing room all this time. No one came past me.
LUCY
He’s in the mirror.
HEATHER
In the..? Maybe you should sit down.
LUCY
I’m not sitting down. Not here. I’m fine. Somethings wrong with your mirror.
HEATHER
But what can be wrong with a mirror?

Hello?
ASHLEY
RAY
It’s me Ray, you ok?
ASHLEY
No. I’m not ok. I don’t know where Polly is or who has her. And the cops left everything in a mess.
RAY
I know life sucks right now but Polly will be okay. We’ll find her. Here’s some good news to cheer you up, I got Einhorn to increase the budget. He’s even added another fifteen thousand to dress out his office.
ASHLEY
That’s good news?
RAY
Isn’t it? So should I have the mirrored windows expedited?
ASHLEY
Like I care. I mean a lot that’ll do me since Einhorn will probably fire me when I don’t show up for work.
RAY
He doesn’t know about Polly. I’ll cover for you here.
ASHLEY
Thanks Ray.
RAY
You take it easy. Sorry about Polly I’m sure she’s fine. I’ll make dinner okay?
ASHLEY
Yeah. Whatever. I need to scrub today off of me.

Didn’t mean to scare you.

RAY
Hear what?
ASHLEY
Polly. She was calling to me.
RAY
Um. Nope. Not a thing.
ASHLEY
Crap. You didn’t hear her at all?
RAY
No Ash, sorry. Maybe you’re hearing things.

Hmmm. Seems you’ve had a string of bad luck. Very bad luck indeed.

FOOTSTEPS ON CARPET. DOOR OPENS.
AGENT LEE (CONT'D)
Sheriff Gordon. What a surprise.
SHERIFF
I hope I’m not interrupting.
AGENT LEE
Not at all. How on earth did you find me?
SHERIFF
FBI agent in a two horse town? It don’t take a genius.
AGENT LEE
Plus you own both horses.
SHERIFF
True that.
AGENT LEE
So what brings you here?
SHERIFF
Got a call this morning about another missing girl. Mina Chu. A sophomore in college.
AGENT LEE
Interesting.
SHERIFF
Last seen two nights ago at a rave club downtown.
AGENT LEE
Who called it in?
SHERIFF
Her grandmother. Said Mina didn’t show up for work.
AGENT LEE
Rave club, hooking up, hangover, missing work? Seems like an easy equation to solve.
SHERIFF
Maybe, but what’s curious is the surveillance footage from the club shows Mina enter the bathroom but she never comes out.
AGENT LEE
That is curious.
SHERIFF
Want more curious? I locked up a kid for smashing glass and mirrors last night. His path of broken glass puts him on Polly Harker’s street.
AGENT LEE
You think he had something to do with her going missing?
SHERIFF
Let’s say I gotta feeling.
AGENT LEE
So you’re the psychic now?
SHERIFF
Or it could be last nights chili.
AGENT LEE
I’d very much like to question this young man.
SHERIFF
I’m on my way to search his apartment. Thought you’d like to come with. He’s still locked up at the station so we’ll sit him down for a nice long chat.
AGENT LEE
Brilliant.

I don’t want to be a bother but can we make a stop first? I’d like to check in with Mrs. Harker again.
SHERIFF
Same thing I was thinking. I was going to ask if you read minds but then I remembered... You’re a psychic.
AGENT LEE CHUCKLES
AGENT LEE
Indeed. I am.

ASHLEY
Who took Polly? For what reason? I spent all my savings moving here.
(MORE)
ASHLEY (CONT'D)
I don’t have any cash to pay a ransom but I’ll find a way if that’s what it takes.
RAY
When we were talking on the phone, where were you?
ASHLEY
Standing right here. I’d have seen anyone leaving. They’d have to run past me.
RAY
The upstairs windows?
ASHLEY
All of the windows were locked from the inside and the cops didn’t find any finger prints.
RAY
Makes
no sense. No sense at all.
ASHLEY
That FBI agent thinks I had something to do with it.
RAY
Statistically speaking he’d be correct. Remember the mother who drowned her own children, or the guy that killed his son but said he was abducted...
ASHLEY
Ray, really?
RAY
Of course in your case he’s completely wrong.
ASHLEY
You’re so much cuter with your mouth shut.

AGENT LEE
Mrs. Harker may we come in?
ASHLEY
Have you found Polly?
SHERIFF
No Mrs. Harker, I’m here on another matter. Do you happen to know a Mina Chu?
No.
ASHLEY
SHERIFF
How bout Billy Hazelbob?
ASHLEY
No.
SHERIFF
Have you driven your truck since Polly went missing?
ASHLEY
No. Why?
SHERIFF
FOOTSTEPS
I noticed the side mirror on your truck is broken.
ASHLEY
How did that happen?
RAY
Anyone for tea? Dinner won’t be ready for another ten minutes.
AGENT LEE
You have a chef?
RAY
Boyfriend.
AGENT LEE
Mrs. Harker? You told me you didn’t have a boyfriend.
RAY
You must had heard her wrong. I am the boyfriend.
ASHLEY
There’s some confusion on the definition of that word.
AGENT LEE
Confusion of the mind leads to crimes of the heart.
ASHLEY
Ray was at work. I was at home. No confusion there.
AGENT LEE
Well maybe you can clear up something else then.
ASHLEY
Anything.
AGENT LEE
Why was there a murder investigation regarding your late husband?
RAY
Hold on. What? Murder?

No. You can’t mean that.

It was an accident. But what does that have to do with finding Polly?

SHERIFF
No?
AGENT LEE
CAR SLOWS
No. I had Chinese for dinner.
SHERIFF
Well, you could have at least given me a heads up that you were going to play bad cop with her.
AGENT LEE
There was little choice, from what I’ve observed, good cop is the only way you can play it.
SHERIFF
I’ll take that as a compliment.
AGENT LEE
As you wish.

No. This severed arm on the floor.
SHERIFF
What in the? I think that’s Mina Chu’s arm. Look at that butterfly tattoo. She had one just like it on her forearm.
AGENT LEE
Not much blood.
SHERIFF
There’s no blood at all.
Maybe it was hacked off somewhere else?
