Mirrors Page #3

Synopsis: In New York, the former NYPD detective Ben Carson is hired to work as night watch of the remains of the Mayflower Department Store that was partially destroyed by fire many years ago. Ben became alcoholic and was retired from the police force after killing a man in a shooting. His marriage was also destroyed and now he is living in the apartment of his younger sister Angie. However he has not been drinking for three months and sees the employment as a chance to rebuild his life. When he goes to the rounds in his first night, he finds that the mirrors are impeccably clean and his colleague explains that the former night watch was obsessed with the mirrors. After a couple of nights, Ben sees weird images in the mirrors, but due to the lack of credibility of his past, his ex-wife Amy believes he has hallucinations as a side effect of his medication.

There's no one looking back at you

through the mirrors.

You're obviously... You're still conflicted

about what happened.

Maybe you need to talk to someone.

A professional, someone...

Mirrors are just glass and silver, Ben.

That's it.

There's nothing behind them.

Will you please go get some sleep, okay?

I love you.

Coming!

Hold on!

- Mr. Carson?

- Yeah.

You want to sign here, please?

- You have a good day, sir.

- Thanks.

Holy sh*t.

Lorenzo, I need to talk to you.

I just had the craziest day here.

Your ex-colleagues came to pay us a visit.

What are you talking about?

Well, you know Gary, the guy

who was working here before you?

Yeah.

Cops found him dead

in a subway station in Harlem.

I never liked him too much, but,

poor guy, he didn't deserve to go like that.

Did they happen to tell you

the cause of death?

- What?

- Did they tell you how he died?

No, no, they wouldn't tell me.

Mrs. Sapelli is waiting for me at home.

I got to go.

By the way,

about that leak in the basement.

They're sending someone over

to work on that, beginning of next week.

We have a white male, 50 years of age,

name unknown.

Following the completion

of the external examination,

the body was washed and lightly dried.

A Y-incision was made

from the bilateral clavicular joints

to the xiphoid process.

- The tissue was waterlogged...

- Amy.

Yes, what is it?

There's someone in the lobby for you.

It sounds urgent.

Ben.

What's happening?

What are you doing here?

Thanks for seeing me.

Look, I need to ask you a favor.

- I'm in the middle of work.

- I know. Twenty minutes.

Yesterday morning you picked up a body.

Gary Lewis.

I just need to take a look at him.

- Who is he?

- He was a night watchman

at the Mayflower. I replaced him.

How do you have his driver's license?

I found his wallet in the department store.

Look, I just need to know how he died.

Why do you need to know how he died?

Ben, you've been suspended. You're not

supposed to be doing any investigations.

Amy, please, just listen to me.

This is serious.

There are some very strange things

happening over at the Mayflower.

I can't explain, but it's...

This guy Gary Lewis sent me a package

right before he died.

Thing is, I never met him before.

Inside the package were all these articles

on the Mayflower, on the fire.

It was like he was trying to tell me

something or warn me about something.

I need to figure this out. Please.

Gary Lewis, Gary Lewis. There he is, B-16.

He slashed his throat.

There you go, there's your answer.

Your man committed suicide.

And you get a lot of suicide cases

with people that slash their own throats?

I didn't think so. Excuse me.
