Mama Page #3

Synopsis: The senior partner of an investment brokerage, Jeffrey Desange, has a breakdown due to a financial collapse and kills several co-workers and his estranged wife. He then kidnaps his two young daughters, Victoria 3 and Lilly just 1. He drives his car recklessly through a winding snow covered road. He loses control of his car and drives off an embankment. He finds an abandoned and isolated cabin where he plans to kill his daughters, but the children are saved by a dark ghostly image. After five years of searching and depleting his savings, Jeffrey's twin brother, Lucas, finds the children that were raised without social interaction and claim that they have been raised by 'Mama'. Lucas disputes the custody with the children's Great Aunt but Dr. Dreyfuss, who is working with the girls, helps Lucas get custody of the girls so that he can still have access to them. Lucas, his girlfriend Annabel, Victoria and Lilly move into a house provided by the institute that Dr. Dreyfuss works for. Lucas

or Annie, or whatever you like.

We could..

We could work it out together, right?

Mama.

Handsome?

There are no police reports between 2008 and 2012

that match the patient's story.

And Doctor, there are no psychiatric hospitals

anywhere near Clifton Forge.

- Where were the closest one would be?

- Falls Church, 200 miles from here.

Now this log book, contains records

from St. Kurch's asylum.

Abided to Salt Lake.

That's 5 miles north from here.

But you told me that there are no

mental hospitals in the area.

There aren't.

St. Kurch is shut down in 1878.

Page 31.

Patient Edith Brennan.

- Annabel?

- Yup?

- Handsome is outside.

- Try to put him there.

But he's crying.

Awesome.

There's no way these kids

are ready for this.

- I know it's tough. It'll get better. I promise.

- I don't know if I can do this, Luke.

I love you, girl.

Someone's here!

What?

Victoria, Lilly?

- No one's here.

- Someone's here. I saw them.

- Wow, wow, honey, honey.

- I saw them.

Give me the hammer. I'll check downstair.

You look after the girls.

Lucas?

Oh my God. Lucas?

Hi, it's Vince with Slap Chop.

I'm really sorry, Annabel.

But they told me he responded well to the tests.

And it's uh, very likely this coma is temporary.

- What happens now?

- I'm afraid I don't follow.

Those girls now without Lucas../ Annabel, the girls

need you. They need security, protectability.

But I'm not prepared for this. I can't

do this alone. This is not my job to do.

Just follow, if you not,

you'll lose custody.

And Lucas will be lucky if he sees

his nieces every second at Thanksgiving.

Well, I checked out. All the doors and windows

are locked. No evidence of intruder. Nothing's stolen.

So.. / So, I imagined it then, yeah?

All right, thank you, bud.

- Maam..

- Richmond's finest..

Okay, guys.

Just you and me for a while.

I don't know how are you feeling

about that. But we got no choice.

- How they've been affected by all of this?

- They are talking to the walls.

What did they say?

Mama.

What's this?

They made that.

They found a doll

in the cabin, Victoria.

Who made the doll?

Mama.

The doll's called Mama?

Or Mama made the doll?

- Mama made the doll.

- And who is Mama?

Are you Mama, Victoria?

This is Dr. Gerald Dreyfuss.

Please leave a message. / i

Dr. Dreyfuss, this is Louise from

Clifton Forge Public Records. / i

I found something that

you would want to see.

You guys okay?

What's so funny?

- Good night.

- No!

Whatever.

Nice butt, Bruce.

Victoria..

Come. Mama...

You guys know what time it is?

I guess you wouldn't. It's late.

It's really really late.

Don't.

- Don't what?

- Don't close the closet.
