need to know

how many cartons of

milk are in there?

- That's an excellent question.

I really have

no idea why.

It makes no sense, but

they don't pay me

to ask questions, so...

- Are you with the

health board, because

I didn't get a notice

you were coming.

No sir, my name

is Eli

I'm with manforce.

They sent me last year

to be the Easter Bunny

and now they've sent

me to count the milk.

- That was you?

- I'm gonna have to

ask you to leave

the building immediately.

C)h

it looks like your

pen is leaking.

- That's old, actually.

I don't know when

that happened.

Months ago maybe.

- Come on, let's go.

- Dear Katrina Collins,

Congratulations.

Awesome, I better get started.

Okay, I'm gonna need

some supplies.

- Come in.

- Hi, uh, hi.

Mr. Bear?

I'm sorry to bother

you, but

something was donated

that I... I...

I don't think was meant

to be donated.

- Another stash of money?

- No, um.

Its, its a little girl.

- What?

- Well, um, I mean -

- What is that?

- Its the ashes

of a little girl.

- Where did it come from?

- I just found it,

I don't know what

to do with it.

- Well, who knows?

I guess we have to

do something about it.

- Its someone's child.

- Hi, this is Tom Bear

at the East Side

Receiving Center.

We found something

in our donations today

that we are unsure of

what to do with.

- Well, it appears to be

a cremation urn with

a person's remains in it.

Yes. Ashes.

Oh.

Oh, okay.

Hi, Mr. Bradshaw,

this is -

Oh, I see.

Okay.

Thank you very much.

They say we should

contact the police

and let them know

and wait to see

if someone comes to claim it.

- Where,

where do we keep it?

- I suppose you could

put it just right there.

If it were donated

on accident

then the owner

will track it down.

They probably just

don't realize

what they did.

I'll call the police

and report it.

I'll tell them.

- Hey, this is Brian.

Leave me a message.

- Hey, where are you?

Why aren't you

calling me back?

- Hi, this is Brian...

- Have a nice day.
