almost 8:30.  coffee?
go back to sleep.  i'll call you, ok?
see you later, angie.
i just got here.
thanks larry.
no, not yet.
no, i'm staying at my sister's, in queens.
she's a bartender.
you know what i want. i'm ready to come back, i'm feeling much better now.
larry, i'm telling you, i'm ready.
what?! come on larry, a security guard job.  i'm not ready to retire yet!
i do. the one that burned down?
yeah, in a couple months.  i gave everything for the nypd. i almost died out there. everyone seems to have forgotten that.
amy, it's me.  i just wanted to let you know that i got a job today.  it's nothing special, just a security guard job.  if you still want to go ahead with it, we can sign the divorce papers.  i mean, if that's what you really want. i've been thinking about michael's birthday tomorrow. it would be nice if we could celebrate it together .  you know, for the kids' sake.  call me.  please.
did you clean them?
the mirrors, why are they so clean?
why did he leave?
almost a year.
i was wounded during a holdup.  it kind of changed my perspective on things.
how old are you, lorenzo?
i do now.
i think your grandpa just wants to scare you a little.
see you tomorrow.
fuck.
well i don't know, i just found this package hidden behind a tree.
maybe.  daisy, has michael been a good boy? does he deserve his birthday present?
is mom back?
hello rosa!
i'm good, very good.  what time will amy be back?
ok, i'll wait for her.
no, thank you. i'll be fine.
happy birthday, michael.
hey amy.
ok kids, it's time for your bath. no fooling around.
i do, but you never take my calls!
i haven't had a drink in three months but, then again, how would you know?
you don't think people can change?
just give me another chance.
what rules?! it's my son's fucking birthday today! come on amy, what rule is going to stop me from seeing him?
i'm sorry, i didn't mean to yell at you.  things could be so different between us.
yeah.  anyway, i wasn't planning on staying. my shift starts in an hour. i'll just kiss them goodbye and then i'm leaving.
i haven't managed to find the source of the leak. my guess is it doesn't come from the store.  it must be a municipal pipe that blew with the cold.
nothing special.
you can't avoid them. they're everywhere.
the mirrors.  in the department store, at every street corner, in the windows of every fucking building in this city. i feel like i'm not the one looking into the mirrors, but rather they're looking at me.
no, i'm serious.
gary?
gary?
coming.
what happened?
did they mention the cause of death?
have a good night, lorenzo.
damn.  what is happening to me?
amy, i need you to do me a favor.
i need your help.  it won't take more than twenty minutes. please, amy?
you picked up this guy yesterday morning.  i need to take a look at him. it's very important.
he used to work at the mayflower as a night watchman, before i replaced him.
i found his wallet in the department store. i need to find out how he died.
he sent me a package before he died, with newspaper articles about the mayflower.  i think he was trying to tell me something.  i don't know him. i've never even met him, amy.  i need to figure this out.
you know a lot of people who cut their own throats?
how.  what did he slit his throat with?
i need to see his files.
i need to see his files!
i won't leave until i see that file.
look at this picture.  come and see, amy.
look.
look at the piece of mirror in his hand. in the reflection of the mirror it's covered in blood, and look- in reality, it's clean. not a drop of blood.
don't you find it strange that this mirror doesn't reflect an exact image of reality?
what if the mirrors were showing us something different?
what if the mirrors were reflecting something that goes beyond reality?
thanks for your help.
please, not you.
i made a deal, angie.  i can't just walk out on them like that. i need this job, i need the money. i'm not going to sleep on your couch for the rest of my life!
mrs. lewis.  sorry to bother you.  my name is ben carson. i worked with gary, at mayflower. could i come up and talk to you for a few minutes?
mrs. lewis ?
did he use any drugs?
did you notice anything different, the days prior to his leaving the house, anything unusual in his behavior?
what kind of changes?
sleeping?
busy doing what?
is that you standing next to him?
mrs. lewis, i found a note that gary wrote.
a piece of paper, where he'd scribbled down the name, esseker.  does that mean anything to you?
may i see his room?
do you mind if i stay in here for a moment?
where are you?!!
stay calm.  i'm coming!
i'm here ma'am.
ma'am? i'm right he.
sorry i'm calling you this late. were you sleeping?
don't worry, everything's ok.
actually, no. i think maybe i'm losing my mind.
you were right about the mayflower.  i'll quit tomorrow.
no, i'll wait till the daytime guy gets here to tell him.
yeah, sure. see you later, angie.
love you too, sis.
no, i don't want to put them in any danger.
i've got things i need to deal with.
she asked me to quit and they got to her.
i know who did this amy.
they wouldn't believe me and neither would you.  goodbye.
why did you do it? why? why did you have to kill her?
what is it you want? what do you want from me? answer me! what is it you want?!
look up esseker.  yes, echo, sierra, sierra, echo, kilo, echo, romeo.  esseker. no idea, my guess is that it's a name.  no, i haven't got a first name. yes, in new york. over the past five or six years. i know it's hazy but that's all i've got. i already looked it up in the phone book. i also called someone at the irs and at the dmv, but nothing there. it's very important larry. you'll call me back? ok.
yes, so, what'd you find out? nothing under that name? shit, shit, shit, shit.  can you look up berry, terrence berry.
got anything? great. no, i already know all that. is he still alive? no.  can you find out where he was committed before his death? wait, i'm writing it down.
roosevelt psychiatric detention center.  yeah, i know where it is. thanks.
did you consider terrence innocent?
amy.  i have to go.
don't worry, there's nothing wrong. everything is ok.
i'm doing it to protect you.
look amy, you've got to trust me, i know what i'm doing.  it's for your own good.
you have to trust me amy, i'm not completely crazy.  these mirrors are dangerous. at first, i thought it was only the ones at the store, but now i know they can get you anywhere. they got angela.  i promise i'll leave the house once i've taken them all down.
come amy, come with me, i want to show you something.
look, you'll see.
wait, look, you'll see.
but.  i swear to you i.  i saw. amy.
hello, larry? it's me.  i'm going to need your help again-
mayflower used to be a hospital before it became a department store. st. john's hospital. do you have any idea where all the medical records could have ended up after it closed down?
go to the city hall archives.  they must have something considering it was a public hospital.
larry, larry stop it.  if i could go myself, i wouldn't be asking you. go to the city hall archives, and ask them to look up esseker among the former patients. please.
please, do it for me.
talk to you later.
what have i done? i don't understand.  what have i done?
perfect, larry. that's perfect.
i don't know exactly. i can't tell you, but some really fucked up things started happening to me when i took the job over there. nothing makes any sense to me either but i have to follow my instinct.
anna esseker.  where did you find her files? did you go to city hall?
what?
what about the doctor? dr. kane?
you're still alive, aren't you?
you're wrong larry, you're wrong.
she left the hospital on the 4th.
amy ? what's wrong?
what?
what's happening?
where are daisy and michael? are the kids all right?
get out of the house. i'll be right over.
i'm right here, amy. i'm here now.  thank god you're alright.
anyplace is gonna have mirrors or windows.  anything you can see your self in is dangerous. we have to make the house safe. the only way is to cover all the reflections. if we keep them in the dark we can avoid them. we need paint, we need tape.
as quickly as i can, sweetheart. i promise.
they want her, i'm gonna find her wherever she is. we don't have any other choice.
i'm sorry about everything i've put you through.  i didn't want to.
amy, i want you to stay here with the kids until all this is over. all the mirrors are covered, there's no more danger. i'll come back as soon as i can.
hey baby, everything's gonna be fine. i love you.
hello.  is this the esseker farmhouse?
i am looking for anna, anna esseker.
i huh.  i am doing some research for a book on the history of st. john's hospital, in new york.
and after the hospital?
anna left the hospital two days before the massacre. kane changed the records to make her disappear.
i want to know. after st. john's, where did she go?
for a while?
and after? why did she leave?
with anna?
with the mirrors?
mr. esseker, tell me where i can find your sister. it's very important. it's a matter of life and death.
where is she now?
hello sister. i have come to visit a member of your community.  sister anna? her real name is anna esseker.
no, not really.
listen, sister, i must see her.
please, tell her that i came all the way from new york and that i work with dr. kane at st. john's hospital.
my name is benjamin carson. i work as a night watchman at 1229 west 38th street in new york city, what used to be st. john's hospital.
i need your help.
my wife and children are in danger. what is threatening my family is asking for you.
if you don't help me i may lose the only thing that matters to me.
tell me why are the mirrors from the old hospital so determined to find you?
i must know, sister.
a window.  for what? for whom?
what truth?
it entered with you and they need you to get out.
wait.  please, listen to me- terence berry, gary lewis and many others before me.  those are the people who died trying to find you. because they failed, their families died too. my sister was murdered two days ago.  my wife and kids will next if you don't come with me. look-
my wife and two children. they're all i've got. they're innocent.  please.
what?
amy, what's going on? are you alright?
no amy, stay with me.
where is michael?
amy? amy? answer me?
my kids are not going to die tonight. you're coming with me, now.
you have my word.
answer! god damn it.  answer the phone.
fuck.
something's wrong over there, my wife is not answering.
we have to get inside the mayflower now.
come on, let's go.
watch your step, a water pipe has burst, the whole basement is flooded.
