- Wasn't she just a doll?
- What a prize.
- Such a shame.
- Stop it.
(ominous music)
- Seems we have company.
- Well, it's been ages since we've had a guest.
- The last was Spring Hill?
- Spring Hill is the autumn fall,
the last was from Hollywood.
- [Man] Oh, who can forget the girl from Hollywood?
- The actress.
- She looks like Suzie.
- [Man] No, something more floral,
(laughs)
like, the filler, the bluebell.
- My bets something like, Jade or Amber.
- You're right she looks like a little gem.
- Oh look, she's coming to say hello.
- What's its gonna be this time?
- Drowned?
- Gutted?
- Suffocated?
- Sir?
- Oh, excuse me.
How can I help you?
- Right, I was just saying
that I needed to book a room for tonight.
- Excellent, just sign in here
and I'll check you in and gather your room key.
- Great. Thanks.
- Thank you, right this way.

(running shower water)
- Yeah I couldn't catch right up,
so I'm spending the night at this little motel.
Yeah, it's sort of eerie, but it's just one night.
I'm catching the earliest bus home tomorrow,
so I should be home right around three.
Okay.
Love you, mom.
Bye.

(bell ring)
- Anybody home?
(radio music)
- How can I help you?
- Hi, my name is Terrence Porter.
I'm a private investigator.
You mind if I ask you a few questions?
- Not at all.
- 19 years old, she was about five, eight, five, nine.
She was on her way to visit her mother.
It's been about a week since she's been missing.
She didn't happen to come by here, did she?
- Sorry, I don't recall.
I mean, it's been pretty packed here lately.
The time of season.
- She made a call last Monday evening
according to her mother.
She was staying at a small hotel in the death Valley area.
She's supposed to have taken the first bus
out the next morning.
- Well, I mean, there's lots
of hotels and motels in the area.
- Right.
That's why I'm here.
Nice space, by the way.
Very unique.
- I,
do the paintings myself.
- Good, very lifelike.
Thank you for your time.
If anything occurs,
please don't hesitate to call.
- Of course.
I hope you find what you're looking for.
Oh and, I'm sure Ruby's fine,
just another mischievous college kid.
- How do you know her name?
- Her name?
- Ruby?
- You must've mentioned it.
- I did not.
- You must have.
- Right.
I'll be leaving now.
(ominous music)
- She can't save you?
- Why do you have to torment me?
- Why'd you have to push me down a flight of stairs. (echo)

(ominous opera music)
- Madame, have you seen this girl?
(melodic haunting music)
(light melodic orchestral music)
- I'm a star as an audience.
- Looks like a sold out show.
