Absentia Page #2

Synopsis: Tricia's husband Daniel has been missing for seven years. Her younger sister Callie comes to live with her as the pressure mounts to finally declare him 'dead in absentia.' As Tricia sifts through the wreckage and tries to move on with her life, Callie finds herself drawn to an ominous tunnel near the house. As she begins to link it to other mysterious disappearances, it becomes clear that Daniel's presumed death might be anything but 'natural.' The ancient force at work in the tunnel might have set its sights on Callie and Tricia ... and Daniel might be suffering a fate far worse than death in its grasp.

Bye. Callie ... my sister, this is Detective Mallory.

It works, that is, he has worked on Daniel's case.

Hi! You're not the first guy I met here, I mean ...

The guy that was there before the ...

No. I have set only a few years ago.

He was moved to a new ...

Anyway, I'm glad to meet you. I've heard a lot about you.

Really, why?

Now I ... - They reported a burglary in the area ...

I need to write another report, in fact ...

did not have any value, you know.

There are thieves in the area, holding the door shut.

In this environment does not happen a lot. Years trying to persuade

your sister that stayed away, even from here.

Take this to your lawyer.

I'll do whatever is necessary to the case.

I will. - Super. - I'll take a shower, the smell of armpits a**hole.

Nice to meet you

Yes, you were right. - Yes.

You'll call me when you're done with a lawyer?

I'll call you.

Do you need anything ... from ... - I'm good, I'll be fine.

Right. Because they can not provide anything, if you are harassed.

I can give you guns. - Stunner, huh? Big guy.

I know what you did. / i

Sh*t!

Hey, is there any food to another plate?

Are you still hungry? - No, this guy ...

Anyway. It is the Christian thing.

Yes! In fact, I wanted to ask you about this Christian thing.

Can I have some bread, please?

Yes

Trish, do you want me to help you?

I'm just ... maybe not tonight, you know?

Then tomorrow, can not wait. Technically, most of the time waiting for a signature ...

I'm working on it, okay? I'm working on it.

Please, help them fulfill their mission. In the name of Jesus, amen.

Callie?

This is normal.

Well, screw the normal things.

These, we call lucid dreams, that you have.

They started at the time when you declared dead in absentia.

I know we talked about how we would do something ...

Because it's a big deal. And we were expecting something.

But not this.

Not this.

Lucid dreams can be explained as

visual, auditory, and even olfactory and tactile halucanicije.

And it's not uncommon for people who, like you, deal with stress.

Okay, this is good, keep going.

How do you feel when you see it, you hear it?

The first time was such that he was totally out of line.

Angry. - Because you ...

Because I declared it dead.

And after? - After I was full of anger.

For me and ... - And the baby.

And the baby.

A mind can not immediately deal with ... trauma.

With sadness, feelings of guilt.

Sometimes it's easier to create something that will help us to process it all.

But it is you, Tricia, not him ...

I tell myself that how you feel.

Okay, but when will this all end?

You're the only one who can answer that.

I still meditate? Still help you ... - Yes.
