The Dead Girl Page #3

Synopsis: In Los Angeles, a story about a dead girl, told in five chapters. A woman, miserable in her circumscribed life caring for her domineering mother, finds a body. Somehow, this discovery allows her to change. At the morgue, the sister of a girl missing for 15 years believes the body is that of her sister; this liberates her. An older woman, married to a man who pays her little attention, finds evidence in a storage unit; how will she handle it? The mother of the dead girl, who left home some years before, visits the last place her daughter lived and makes her own discoveries. Last, we flash back to the victim's final day.

between her fingers,

same as Jenny.

I want Andy

to do the dentals.

Okay.

All right.

Who is this?

Detective sent this photo

as a possible match

for a Jane Doe

we have in the morgue.

No. Those

aren't her eyes.

Her--her eyes--

her eyes

aren't that light.

She has a birthmark

on her left hand

between her fingers

just like Jenny.

No--it's not Jenny.

I checked the report

and they can't find

any family.

Those are not

her eyes!

It's her.

No.

[children shouting happily

and dog barking]

Hard to believe

it's over.

Yeah, I know.

[loud party music]

You came.

Yeah.

All right!

Um, want something

to drink?

A beer?

A soda?

Champagne?

Um,

champagne.

All right.

So, why tonight?

I've been inviting

you to my parties

for three years.

Have you?

I don't know

about you but,

every now and then

I like to be around

somebody that's not dead.

Yeah, I guess.

So, how's it

going so far?

So far, so good.

Excellent.

You're a lot

more talkative.

Right.

I'm on antidepressants.

Oh.

Oh, yeah?

Used to spend

most of my free time

in bed.

That could be nice.

It can also be

kind of depressing.

Yeah, it's good

to get out of bed

every once in a while.

It's kind of hard

to make friends.

In bed?

Yeah.

Although,

Yeah.

[slow music]

You have

excellent posture.

Do l?

Oh!

Naw, it's nice.

I feel like

if I let go of you,

you're gonna run away.

Well, then

don't let go.

[moaning]

Hey.

Hi.

Stay.

Please?

Promise I'll

let you sleep.

Oh, no,

I can't,

I have to go.

I was getting

kind of sick

of you anyway.

Really?

No, just joking.

I'm really glad

you came.

So am l.

Are you?

Yeah.

I wanted to,

for a long time.

Really? That's

good to know.

Okay, I have to go!

I gotta go.

Well, see you later.

[birds chirping]

Bye.

[phone ringing

on other end]

Yo.

Derek?

Hey you.

How you doing?

Good.

Good, actually.

Work must be

pretty boring

without me.

(boss)

When you got

a minute.

What are you wearing?

That sexy--

I gotta go.

I'll call you back.

Wait!

Did Andy

get the stuff?

It's not her.

Did he check

the films?

They were negative

for a match.

I got a call this morning

from a Detective Graily.

They tracked down

the girl's mother

and she's driving

down from Washington

to lD the body.

Well, that's--wrong.

It has to be,

I mean--

The woman's name

is Melora Kutcher,

and her daughter's

real name was

Krista Kutcher.

She faxed the detectives

a birth certificate

and a photo.

I'm sorry.

Hi, it's Leah,

leave a message.

[beep]

(Derek)

Leah, it's me.

Are you around?

You okay?

You alive?

[sigh]

Okay, I'm just,

uh, trying you again.

Just call me

back, okay?
