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?

Liar.

I just want

to take a drive!

Jesus Christ! Why do

you have to make a f***ing

federal case out of it?

All right!

You with your mouth,

just go. Go.

Jesus!

Don't you ever take

the name of the Lord

in vain!

Don't you ever take--

Don't you ever--

take His name in vain

in my house.

[voices from TV]

Well, how do you think

it makes me feel

to be left here?

I did tell him.

No, he doesn't,

he has no idea

how lucky he is.

Lucky he's got

both of us.

[knocking]

That's the door.

I gotta go.

If he shows up there,

you call me, okay?

I'd appreciate it, okay?

'Cause I can't go

through this anymore.

Can I help you?

Hi. We're looking

for storage space.

The office says

it's supposed to be open

but there's nobody there.

Jim's not there?

(man No. 1)

Uh, nobody's there.

Well, I don't have

anything to do with it.

It's my husband's job.

Is he around, maybe?

Come on.

(female voice)

One message.

Message one.

Carl, it's Jim.

I can't come in today.

I really--

Message erased.

End of messages.

[beeps]

Y eah?

Somebody's stuff

is in there.

Nope, it's listed

as an empty.

Uhh, it's not.

Well, somebody

made a mistake.

Maybe you can just

give us another space.

It's not supposed

to have power.

Yeah, well--

It's supposed

to be empty.

They keep a list.

(Man No. 1)

So, are we

moving this?

Uh-uh.

I'll get you

another space.

(male voice on TV)

It's better than

(female voice on TV)

The Buggy Beamer Roach Trap

normally costs $ 49. 95.

But in this

special offer,

[louder]

we'll give two

Buggy Beamers

for the low, low price

of only $ 19. 95.

And if

you call now,

we'll include two extra

disposable cartridges free.

You get two Buggy Beamer

roach traps systems,

plus two extra cartridges.

A $ 1 10 value

for only $ 19. 95.

plus shipping

and handling.

[male voice, indistinct,

on TV]

(male voice on TV)

What we were trying to do

is find out if there was

anything that we failed

to accomplish in

our investigation.

We have a pattern

that we feel that, uh,

identifies this individual.

So we're missing

one link.

Smith thinks he knows

someone who can find

that missing link.

I should guess that

Nancy was available.

In a case like this,

she can give us

some assistance.

Uh, could open

another door

for us.

I think it's worth

a shot.

Would you contact

her for us?

(male voice No. 2)

That'd be

no problem.

We got the five

all torn up again.

I don't know

when they're ever

gonna finish that thing.

It's been

more than a year.

What happened

to your neck?

Some guy in a bar,

tried to pick a fight.

You got

in a fight?

I'm done with it.

Leaving me here

to rot while you're
