Little Girl in the Window

See you tomorrow, Dale!

Hey. Excuse me?

- Can I help you? - I was gonna ask you

the same thing. Would you, uh, like a ride home?

I don't need a ride. Thank you for offering,

but I'm just two blocks away.

Please go.

I don't need an escort home. - You're very pretty.

You know that, Jennifer?

How do you know my...?

And that was the last time anyone saw

poor 17-year-old Jennifer Lewis.

This week marks the 10th anniversary

of Ms. Lewis's disappearance,

and the case has still not been solved.

Although what you just witnessd was a re-enactment

with professional actors,

the real Jennifer Lewis is still a missing person

and anyone with any information about her whereabouts,

please inform the local authorities

or reach out to us here at Unsolved Crimes.

Hey, honey.

Ah, 7:30 and you're ready for bed, huh?

Uh, yeah. I, uh, thought I'd call it an early night.

Or another extended day?

Paul, please don't start. I am not in the mood.

Well

maybe some Chinese will cheer you up.

Got wonton soup.

I could go for some soup.

So, what's the crime tonight?

Murder? Robbery? Home invasion?

- Abduction. - Ooh, aliens.

No, that's not funny!

Did you know that 546,568 people

went missing last year? And 54% of them are women.

Well, I'm just glad you're not one of them.

All we need to worry about now

is getting you out of this depression.

Just like that, huh?

Paul.

I lost my baby.

Our baby.

Hey, we're in this together, remember?

For better or for worse.

Look, I'm here for you.

Always.

You're not alone.

There's something wrong with me.

No. Look, don't blame yourself.

You know, miscarriages happen.

It's no one's fault.

And we can try again.

And you heard the doctor, whenever you're ready.

Can we talk about something else, please?

Well, I ran into Joyce today.

Oh yeah? Anyone get hurt?

How fast were you going?

Now there's the brat I married.

So, what did Joyce have to say?

I bet she looked fantastic.

Well, she wants you back on her team.

Rumour has it they're opening up a new design centre downtown

and she needs your eyes.

She said, "Iris has the best in the business."

Well, you can tell her I'm still using them.

Well, perhaps you could put them to good use.

Here.

Oh, wow! Old school.

Old school and state of the art.

One of the best.

Someone very skilled deserves it.

- I was an amateur photographer. - An amateur photographer

who now owns a professional camera.

And where that leads is up to you.

Mm-hmm. Smile, jerk.

Okay, congratulations, Paul.

You got me out.

And it's snowing.

Anna!

Anna?

Anna!

Has anybody seen my daughter?

Oh, geez! Don't do that.

You know, you frightened me!

Hi, Joyce.

Yes, Paul told me that...

No, I am not ready to return yet.

Yes, I would love to be in charge of my own team again

and you will be the first to know when.

No, I haven't thought about it.

Yeah, I swear!

Right, something architecturally striking.

Old but new. You got it.

Okay, Joyce. Thanks for calling.

I can't believe it.

She really got me thinking about it.

Junior, stop that!

I am so sorry about that.

Junior's like that with all strangers.

No, that's my fault.

I was distracted by the house next to yours.

Oh, the Carnell house. Yeah, it's something, isn't it?

You here to see Robert? The owner.

Uh, no. No, I'm just admiring his house.

I'm an architect.

He's probably home if you wanna say hi.

Oh, no.

No, it's getting late. I really should be going.

Okay, take care.

Why are you doing that, huh?

Hey, honey! How was your day?

It was good.

We got the Madison account. - Hmm.

Ah, you're dressed.

- Been dressed all day. - Yeah?

Are you going out? - I've been out. Take a look.

Ah.

Wait, did you take all these? - Mm-hmm.

I talked to Joyce, and she got me thinking

about the design centre.

Oh. Someone's going back to work?

I told her I would think about it.

Okay. Well, thinking is good.

Honey, these... these are incredible.

All right, I'm gonna wash up before dinner.

Hmm.

Wait, is that a "he"?

You say something?

Come out here and look at this.

Am I crazy or does this

does that say "Help"? - Huh.

I mean, third letter looks like a J.

No, it's a backwards I.

Somebody wrote this on the inside of the glass.

Babe, it's probably just some kid playing around.

Or a kid not playing around.

Where is this house anyways?

I can't remember. I was just driving around.

It was maybe 20 minutes from here?

I could probably find it again.

Look, babe, I highly doubt

this is as sinister as you think it is.

Watching countless hours of true crime shows

can affect your sense of paranoia.

- Hmm. - Hmm.

Maybe you're right.

Thank you.

Can we drop this?

Sure, okay.

- Can I help you? - Uh, no, I'm so sorry.

I, uh... I was just, um...

Interested in my house?

Well, yes, actually.

Uh, uh... the architecture. I-I love the design.

I see. You know, my neighbour said a young, attractive woman

was checking out my place yesterday.

That was you, I take it?

Guilty as charged.

I'm sorry if I disturbed your wife and your kids.

No, no, that's okay. I live alone.

I must have been out driving when you came by.

Do you, uh, live around here, Miss...?

Uh, Peterson.

Juliet Peterson. - Hmm.

You must be Robert Carnell.

- Have we met? - No.

No, your neighbour, she's quite friendly.

Yes, Mrs. Norris.

Hard to keep a secret around her.

Hmm.

Speak of the devil!

Oh, hey, you came back!

I was hoping you two would meet.

Just leave those there, Mrs. Norris.

I'll pick 'em up later. - Oh, thank you, Robert.

Since she liked your house so much,

you should show her around inside.

- Oh, no. - I would be delighted to,

but I'm actually headed out.

Uh, I have to go as well.

Maybe some other time.

Pleasure to meet you, Ms. Peterson.

What is it, dear?

Uh...

Is something wrong?

N-No. I forgot that I have a conference call

and... at noon. I'm gonna be late.

I've gotta run.

I saw her, Paul.

- Oh, my... - I saw her in the window!

- Saw who? - A little girl!

She may be nine, no older than 10.

I-I mean I didn't get a great look at her, but she was there.

Wait, hold on. Did you go back to that house?

What if someone saw you? - Someone did see me.

And I met him. Robert Carnell. - Oh, my...

He told me that he lives alone, unmarried.

You gotta be kidding me right now.

So then, who is the girl in the window?
