Close your eyes now and open your soul.
You may not be able to see or hear a god
but you do not know how to listen.
The Gayatri and Maha Mrityunjaya mantras
will make you more
receptive to his presence.
This is the mantra to conquer death
and free your soul to immortality.

Hi mommy, daddy, Anjana, Manu, and Ganu.
I like it in America a lot.
The sun is always coming
out in Los Angeles.
I'm almost only speaking in English now.
[Atul] Eva.
Coming.
He's come back home.
I want to show you everything
downstairs in our house.
Mommy.
I miss you.
I miss you a lot.
(slow music)
Where have you gone?
What are you doing?
It's for everyone back home.
So they can see for tonight.
So they can see for tonight.
Listen, today of all days
you picked to go get your
hair done, don't you?
And now what do you want me
to tell my parents when they come?
Huh?
That they can put out their own food?
Why?
Because, because you're
too busy making a video?
English.
Speak English.
You've been here a year.
A year, speak English.
Liz and her husband are
coming early to help me.
I told you she doesn't
belong here, didn't I?
Your friends are coming.
I love how you have an
answer for everything.
Everything that comes out of my mouth
you have an answer for
but even simple little things
like a little Sabzi
that I ask you to make,
a little Sabzi, you can't
even do that right, can you?
Huh?
(camera banging)
(suspenseful music)
(doorbell ringing)
What time is it?
10 after 7.
Well, they probably can't hear.
Why am I doing this anyway?
Isn't she making her own video?
Yes, yes but you know,
just get a couple of
shots of the two of them
and some of the guests coming in, not me.
I'm getting my Spielberg on
and you are my screen test.
Stop.
(suspenseful music)
(phone beeping)
I know you don't feel
comfortable being here.
Good, so we can go back to our house?
No, we can't.
[Operator] You've dialed
911, do you have an emergency?
Hello?
(doorbell ringing)
Let's go back to our place.
No, let's go around back.
Come on.
They're outside.
(dog barking)
I know Deepa said that she was gonna be
setting up back here.
(suspenseful music)
They're back here.
Stop.
Hello?
(suspenseful music)
Hello?
Oh, it's windy out there.
Deepa?
Deepa?
Hello?
(suspenseful music)
Hello?
Hello?
Oh, hi.
We were ringing the bell and knocking.
Are you all right?
Yeah, of course, why wouldn't I be?
No reason.
Didn't mean to startle you.
I told Deepa that we'd be
here early to help set up
but then we got hung up and delayed.
(water splashing)
I hope you don't mind we just walked in.
Well, it's not the first time, Liz.
So, it's not like I'm
surprised or anything.
Sorry.
You mind if I go upstairs?
[Atul] What for?
[Liz] Oh, I just was gonna
let Deepa know that we're here.
She's not up there, Liz.
Oh, well where is she?
Well, don't you know?
You're her, you're her best friend?
No, I mean, she told me
she was going to get her hair done
but that was supposed to be earlier.
Well that's it then.
That's where she is.
She's getting her hair done.
I mean, this is just so typical.
She leaves things to the last minute,
nothing's done, guests are coming soon.
Uh, we need to um, get stuff outside.
Geez, there's a lot to do out here still.
Over there, over there, right here.
No, no, here.
No, right here.
Yeah.
Atul.
Yeah.
[Liz] Aren't these yours?
Here.
Oh.
I'm sorry, I didn't expect them
to be on the ground like that.
I was, we were,
I've been looking for these all morning.
We were out here getting ready last night
and then we went for a quick dip
and I must have left them out there.
Can you see without them?
Yeah, yeah, no I can see fine.
I mean, it's just, they're
not that strong, so...
Oh my god, what is that?
What?
[Liz] You're bleeding.
Oh, the air's been so dry, you know?
And I, I have to use Vaseline.
[Liz] I don't understand.
The doctor said it's a common problem.
I mean a lot of people have it.
No, no, I mean about Deepa.
This is just not like her.
I'm gonna see if I can catch her.
She's gonna be here soon anyways, so...
Oh, do you want me to get the door?
Yeah, can you get the door?
[Liz] Sure.
Is it on?
Oh, what, do I have to turn it on too?
Yes.
(suspenseful music)
Are you ready?
Hi.
Where's Atul?
[Liz] Oh, he's outside.
You must be his parents.
Nice to meet you.
Where's Deepa?
She got a little delayed.
Delayed, what do you mean?
Oh, she had a last minute thing
that she had to take care of
but she should be back anytime now.
Who are you?
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm her neighbor, Liz.
She wanted to be here
to welcome you herself
but you know how things happen.
[Mother] Atul.
Hi, mom.
What's happening?
Where is Deepa?
She's, she's just getting ready.
In any case everything is great.
Nothing to worry about.
What kind of wife leaves her husband
to do all the work?
The guests are gonna soon arrive.
How's gonna look?
She's got everything ready.
All the arrangements were made.
In any case, she's just down the road.
She'll be here soon.
Down the road?
She just had a last
minute hair appointment.
So, just have a seat, okay?
Relax.
(doorbell ringing)
Could you?
(upbeat music)
How you doing, my man?
Hi Peter, hi.
You good?
You ready to party?
Yeah, of course.
The party's started already.
It's started, huh?
Where's Deepa?
Oh, she's just, she's getting ready.
She'll be here soon.
(door closing)
Cheer up, my man.
It's a party, come on.
Okay.
(upbeat music)
Hi there.
Happy anniversary.
That's great, come on in.
There's food and drinks
in the kitchen, okay?
Um actually, can we go to
the washroom for a second?
Yeah sure, it's just
straight down the hall.
[Friends] Thank you.
Sure.
(doorknob squeaking)
(everyone chattering)
(doorbell ringing)
(upbeat music)
(doorbell ringing)
Hi.
Hey, Atul, how are you?
Hi, good, hi.
Yes, no, he's fine, my father.
He was a little bit sick there but...
Hey, what are you doing?
Look, you don't wanna go in there.
Why not?
It's a lot of junk in there.
There's no room.
Now, I got three guys right here.
We could pick this up in a second.
Just change in the bathroom.
[Peter] In the bathroom?
Yeah.
[Peter] Three of us, bathroom.
Just take turns, Peter.
Let's go, guys.
Everybody, there's food
and drinks out back, okay?
Let's go, let's go out back, okay?
Yeah, there's food and drinks out back.
No point in being in the hall here.
That's good.
Good, good.
(suspenseful music)
Atul, come, come, come, come.
We need more appetizers out here.
Come, come, come, come on.
Let's take a tray out there, yeah?
Come on.
(suspenseful music)
It just keeps going to voicemail.
Is it me or is he acting a little strange?
He's an as*h*le and she should have
called the cops a month ago
like you told her to when
she still had those bruises.
She would die before she did that.
(suspenseful music)
Did you see the way his family was?
Like we were dipped in sh*t.
Wanted us out.
O-W-T.
Out.
Did you hear me?
That was, that was a joke.
This is all wet.
(suspenseful music)
Liz, what's the matter with you?
[Liz] What?
You've been doing this a lot lately.
It's like I'm not even here.
Is there something going on?
Liz.
(suspenseful music)
Liz, I've been looking
everywhere for ya.
Everybody came so fast.
We need to serve them.
Do you know why this was
lying outside in the doorway?
What the hell are you talking about?
She bought these to wear tonight.
How the hell do I know?
Who cares?
I mean, she probably
dropped it or something.
Are you gonna help Deepa or not?
(suspenseful music)
(upbeat music)
Would you like some appetizers?
Sure.
I haven't seen her all night.
No, I wonder if she's
somewhere in the kitchen.
I haven't seen her at all actually.
(suspenseful music)
Have a seat.
There are a couple of things
I need to talk to you about.
(upbeat music)
What's going on with you and Deepa?
Why?
Is there a problem?
No.
Look, all the guests are here,
everybody's here except Deepa.
(suspenseful music)
[Deepa] I saw it in
one of the magazines.
Rose petals in the water.
You don't think it's too much, do you?
Listen, it's going to be great.
Your decorations will look beautiful.
You're obviously trying to impress him.
The way you bend over
backwards for his family.
Other than you they're all I have.
He's my husband.
Shouldn't I do whatever it
takes to make him happy?
(slow music)
It's not right.
So, why are you tolerating it?
Where did you get this food from?
New Delhi Palace.
Why is there something wrong?
It is garbage.
Stale food.
The food is not made fresh.
How much did you pay for this?
I got a deal.
Still, how much?
400 for everything.
God, I could have gotten
you all this for 300
including sweets.
Look at all our friends.
The children.
The children have children.
(suspenseful music)
Go get Deepa.
I want to talk to her.
Hey.
How are you?
I bet you never thought you'd
see me standing in your house.
Lighten up, buddy.
She's not answering.
This is really odd.
[Atul] Where are you going?
Well, I'm gonna go find,
by the way who was that?
[Atul] Oh, that's just a coworker.
They're just coworkers.
Does Deepa know her?
[Atul] Uh, she's gonna
meet 'em tonight, so...
When?
We're just gonna go to the salon.
It's only a few minutes away.
(shoes stomping)
(upbeat music)
Is it just me or are these people snobs?
[Coworker] They just don't know us.
Well, they ain't trying to know us.
Well, I don't see you
trying to know them.
It's 'cause we don't fit in.
Oh yeah, 'cause we're white.
(door clicking)
He Atul, the dances are coming.
Are you gonna come join us?
Yeah, I'm just coming right now.
Yeah.
All right folks,
can I please get your attention.
We have a special
presentation for you guys
from my main man, Atul.
(everyone clapping)
(upbeat music)
(singing in a foreign language)
We're getting involved
in other people's business.
Honey, if you're having
an anniversary party
and especially if it's taking the place
of your wedding reception,
do you think you'd be this late?
They fought all the time, right?
[Liz] Yeah.
They probably just had
another fight last night.
She'll, she'll come around.
It's just not like her.
[Husband] I'm sure she's fine.
(upbeat music)
(singing in a foreign language)
(upbeat music)
(singing in a foreign language)
(upbeat music)
(upbeat music continues)
(car engine revving)
(upbeat music)
f*ck.
(everyone clapping)
(door closing)
Atul, what's going on, yeah?
What are you doing?
I was just watching the dances.
Things are getting out of hand here.
What are you talking about?
Here.
[Jason] What are you doing?
I'll just be a minute.
Look, we don't know what
goes on with these people.
You heard them last night.
I heard him.
That's why she's probably
staying with a friend right now.
But, I'm her only friend.
You're gonna look pretty stupid
when she doesn't wanna be here
or she's leaving him or something.
Then let her tell me.
[Atul] What happened?
Who are those girls, yeah?
[Atul] They're just coworkers.
Coworkers?
Here?
Why?
Don't know.
Thought it would be okay, you know?
Okay for what man?
They're just coworkers, that's all.
That's not all, man.
There is a big problem here
and you need to do something about it.
Now, yeah, let's go.
(upbeat music)
(car engine revving)
(slow music)
[Liz] Wow, this is beautiful.
What is this?
These are my bhagwan.
My god's that I pray to.
(slow music)
[Jason] You satisfied?
You don't need to be here.
[Jason] So, where am I supposed to go?
[Liz] Just give me a minute.
Liz, Liz, Liz.
[Coworker] Just have it up like that.
[Atul] Lynn.
Lynn, Lynn.
Oh hey, oh...
Just need you to just,
just take it easy, okay?
Move your head.
Like this.
It's fun.
[Liz] You look a lot
more exotic than I do.
(slow music)
Okay, up.
Okay.
Up, and then down.
Down.
(Liz and Deepa laughing)
(slow music)
Listen to me.
This is mostly Indians here.
Well, then why did you invite us?
I didn't really think that you'd come.
Oh my god.
I think we need to leave now.
Yes.
Here, take that.
No, no wait, it's not like that.
If I knew you were coming,
I would have told you what to expect.
You know what?
We're leaving, we're leaving.
Lynn, Lynn.
Your, your prayers have been answered.
We're leaving.
They don't think like you do.
They're strict.
You mean like Taliban, right?
That is nonsense.
Didn't your friend have
an arranged marriage?
Even though there's plenty of girls?
[Atul] I'm his, I'm his cousin.
Look, we're comfortable
with our own culture.
That's all this is.
It sounds to me like passive racism
and that's exactly what this party is.
Oh no, no, my friend.
No, no, no, it is you who
is uncomfortable here.
But we exclude no one
except those that disrespect us.
Hello, hey, let's go, now.
Yes, please.
Excuse us.
Got your purse.
Let's go back to the party.
No, wait, wait.
(coworkers chattering)
So, sorry about everything tonight.
[Atul] Yeah, me too.
Where is your wife?
I didn't even get to meet her.
Um yeah, I don't know
where she is and...
[Coworker] Flirty McSchmooz, come on,
we're trying to go.
Okay, bye.
Bye.
I'll call you.
Lynn, are both those
cars in the driveway yours?
[Lynn] Yeah.
Goodnight.
[Lynn] Wanna come?
What did we do to deserve this?
What is happening here?
Why?
[Jason] Where now?
[Liz] Let's look in here.
[Atul] Just coworkers.
Coworkers?
You invite them for what reason?
Listen Jack, everything is ruined.
Your wife is not even here.
Everybody's waiting and standing there.
Do you understand?
Liz, what's gotten into you?
I'm sorry, I'm looking.
Jesus Christ, you're always sorry.
I'm doing this for my friend.
I know something has happened to her.
Why did we come to this country?
We came with nothing.
We even left you with your uncle one year
so we can get everything ready for you,
make it nice, good, and safe for you.
I didn't ask for that.
We did it for you.
I would have been
better off on the street.
It was not as bad as you say.
How the hell would you know?
This is how you're going to speak to me?
This is how you speak to your mother?
There's a party going on.
Let's at least go back to the house
and talk about this.
[Liz] I can't.
If you'd applied yourself,
would you be in this kind of position?
Working for someone else, huh?
What about marriage?
Until we had to force it
and even then after we find this girl
from a good family you
still have some problem.
(suspenseful music)
What is it that we ask?
We ask that we have a
little child, a baby,
a grandchild to hold
in my hand, that's all.
Inviting them to the
first wedding anniversary?
Your wife is so embarrassed
she don't even come down.
You bringing so much shame to us.
Everyone is looking at us, pitying us.
Look at this poor woman, poor woman.
One son.
All we have is one son.
Useless.
I have to go.
I'll be back.
[Liz] What?
Where are you going, Atul?
I'm gonna go look for Deepa.
Don't bother.
She's not at the hairdresser, Atul,
and you know it.
I don't know.
You don't know that it's
been closed for hours.
We checked.
We checked the grocery store,
the street, everywhere.
She's missing.
So, what's going on?
Something's happened to her.
(door closing)
Well, she's probably just walking down
there in the mall, Liz.
[Liz] No, no, she would not have left.
She's just walk...
[Liz] Atul, all along
she would have been here.
Oh my god.
I don't know why I didn't think of it.
You know.
No, what?
Well, she's never been happy
and she threatened to go
back to India many times.
I just never thought she would.
[Mother] What are you saying?
She was gonna go back before.
I had to stop her.
I had to stop her more
than once from going.
[Liz] She would have
said something to me.
Why?
To not say goodbye after everything?
How do you think I felt?
I tried to get her to socialize.
She wouldn't.
I took her to the Munda
whenever she wanted.
I mean, for so long I've
been trying so hard.
And I tried so hard with her.
I tried so hard.
Oh, poor boy, my son.
(slow music)
Hey, listen to me.
It's okay, you got married.
One year, you only got
what, 30 years left?
Then prenup baby, prenup.
- Hey.
- Congratulations.
Deepa, where are you?
We're missing you over here.
We're waiting for you.
This is for you right here.
Happy wedding, Deepa, how are you?
Congratulations.
Okay, when did she leave?
Last time I saw her was this morning.
Okay, so she could
have left any time today.
I talked to her at lunchtime
but she was talking about
getting ready for the party.
So, she must have left this afternoon.
Don't worry, we'll find her.
Does this phone work?
[Atul] Yeah.
Do you have the parents number?
Ah, hey is this number complete?
[Mother] Yes.
Or do I need to dial a code?
Complete code and all that?
It's the whole number, call.
Okay.
What time is it there?
Hey, what are you doing?
You're not supposed to be in here.
Did you open that?
(trunk closing)
Let's get out of here.
[Father] You didn't do anything to her?
Nothing.
No, of course not.
That's ridiculous.
[Father] They are telling lies.
[Mother] What?
They are telling lies.
First they're saying they don't know
anything about her,
then they're blaming everything on him.
They know everything.
She could have never done anything
without their help.
I think that's what happened.
They knew everything, they got together,
and they have pulled her back.
She has everything here.
What is wrong with her?
She's a selfish, stupid girl.
No, you're wrong.
Excuse me.
[Liz] She's not like that.
None of this makes any sense.
What do you mean?
Look, I believe that
she would have told me
if she was gonna go anywhere.
She would have given me some kind of clue.
Perhaps you are not
as close as you think.
I've been upstairs.
If she was planning to go to India
then why are all of her clothes
still in her closet?
Are you sure?
And her purse.
[Mother] Where is she?
[Peter] Where can she be?
She's nowhere?
There's something I haven't told you.
Um...
We were gonna announce it tonight.
It was gonna be a surprise
but then, you know, she was never happy
so I didn't know how she felt about it.
About what?
I think she thought it would
trap her here or something.
She's gonna have a baby.
[Father] Are you sure?
[Mother] Baby, our baby?
What is she doing then?
Where is she?
We have to find her
and bring her back home.
She has to come home.
No matter what.
We should go to the
airport and look for her.
She may not fly direct you know?
True, she may spend the night in a hotel
and take a flight tomorrow.
We must go to the airport right away.
I will, I will call all the airlines.
Tell them we have a major emergency
and perhaps they'll give
me the flight information.
Try it.
It won't work.
Don't worry, we will find her
and bring her back home, okay?
For sure.
So, don't worry, Atul.
Just, just a minute, okay?
I'll be back.
I have to go to the restroom.
Okay.
(suspenseful music)
(door closing)
You're afraid of something
in here, aren't you?
You know, you're crazy.
[Liz] No.
You're crazy.
No, the look on your face...
Yes, you're crazy.
When you saw me coming out here.
And then now, you weren't
gonna come out here
until you saw me coming
back in the garage.
Okay, okay, what do you wanna,
what do you wanna do?
Do you wanna search the place?
Is that what you want?
Liz, go ahead, knock yourself out.
Search it but I'll tell you something,
you're out there right now, okay?
You are out there, Liz, do you hear me?
And quite frankly,
you're being quite a little b*tch.
After everything me and my
family have gone through
you have the nerve to come in here
and accuse me of something?
Where's Deepa?
Keep your voice down, okay?
Keep your voice down.
You know as well as I do
that she went back to India.
Oh right, because she's pregnant?
So cut the sh*t, cut the sh*t.
You're saying that she's pregnant?
Yes, I'm saying, I just said that.
When did you find out?
A couple of days ago.
Oh, you mean on Wednesday when you got
your fertility tests back?
Deepa and I talked a lot
about having children.
She told me everything.
Like how you guys can't
have any because of you.
Because you had to have
some kind of surgery
when you were a child and now
because of it, you're sterile.
I'm calling the cops,
this has gone too far.
No, wait, wait, I'm gonna call Deepa.
I'm gonna call her and I'm gonna
straighten this whole thing out right now.
Just wait, just wait.
Hello?
This is Elizabeth Atkins.
Hello, Deepa?
I've got her, hang on, I've got her.
I've got her on the phone, hang on,
I've got her, where have you?
Where are you?
What?
Where have you?
What are you doing?
We're going crazy over here.
Let me talk to her.
Hang on, what...
[Liz] Atul.
Why didn't you leave a note?
Let me talk to her.
Do something so that
we know what's going on.
You know that everybody's here...
Give me the phone.
Atul, let me talk to her.
What, oh.
Okay.
She hung up, I mean, she's not,
she's not gonna talk to anybody.
I mean, she said she's,
she said she's gone, she's leaving.
[Liz] I'm gonna call her.
[Atul] She's not gonna answer.
I mean, you can call her all you want.
She's not gonna answer.
(phone ringing)
It's upstairs.
Her phone is ringing upstairs.
Look, I must have dialed
the wrong number, Elizabeth.
Oh, come on.
What do you mean come on?
I dialed the wrong number.
You thought that you were
on the phone with Deepa
and you had a wrong number?
I thought it was her,
it was a bad connection.
I thought it was her.
I must have made a mistake.
Mistakes happen.
[Liz] Atul.
I thought I had the
wrong, look I don't know.
I mean...
Atul, come on.
That is more than just a mistake.
Wait a minute, where are you going?
Look, I've gotta...
[Liz] Jason.
You can't go anywhere.
Get the f*ck out of my way.
No, Jason, help me.
[Jason] Hey, get your hands off her.
[Atul] I don't have my hands on her.
What the hell is going on here?
[Atul] I don't have my hands on her.
You wanna pick on
somebody, Atul, pick on me.
Look, you've got it all wrong.
She's acting crazy.
I don't understand what's going on here.
Everything out of your mouth is lies.
You know, you need to
check your wife, man.
My wife is missing.
I just wanna go out and look for her.
[Liz] Bullshit.
I've got a right to get in my own car.
This is my car.
You're just telling lies over and over.
[Atul] That's not
true, she's acting crazy.
Atul.
[Atul] She's acting crazy and I need to,
I need to get into my car.
That's all right.
[Atul] No, I, I...
[Jason] You need to
back off right now, okay?
Look, I have a right
to get in my own car
and I'm gonna get in my...
(Jason and Atul grunting)
You're crazy.
You people are crazy.
(car beeping)
(door closing)
What the hell was that all about?
That's what I'm gonna find out.
You basically just
had me as*ault the guy.
I know, I know.
Hello?
I'd like to report a missing person.
I'm at 19034 Kitridge Way, North Ridge.
Elizabeth, Liz Atkins.
Well, I'm a friend but
I'm here with her family.
At the address I gave you.
Deepa Verma.
(suspenseful music)
Last seen?
Uh, this morning.
No, you have to send the officers now.
No.
Stop, no look, I think her husband
has done something to her.
(suspenseful music)
Yes, I have evidence
but I need to show them
when they get here.
No, no, I need to show them.
I need them to come so
that I can show them
when they get here.
What is your name?
Look, Kimberly, it's gonna be on your head
if you don't send somebody right now,
do you understand me?
Now, Kimberly.
Before it's too late.
Dammit.
Hey, hey, what evidence do you have?
What are you talking about?
Wait a second, he could leave.
We need to keep him here.
[Jason] Liz.
(upbeat music)
Do you see him?
(upbeat music)
Excuse me.
(upbeat music)
Excuse me, I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
(upbeat music)
I don't know where he is.
Atul.
Atul.
Why didn't you tell us you've been
having some problems?
How?
You can't come and talk to us?
After all we are your parents.
We can help you.
What's been happening in any case?
Is it from the beginning?
You and Deepa?
Yes, yes, it's from the beginning.
I mean, from the very beginning.
What has she been saying?
What?
She's depressed and nothing
I could do made her happy.
Nothing.
I mean, she watches Hindi
movies all the time.
I can't stand them so I
go into the other room.
I would walk into the kitchen
and I know she's been crying.
Even with the movies.
Even action sequences.
Happy, the dance numbers,
she's still crying.
She must be having some mental problems.
That is what it is.
And anything I asked
her to do was never done.
She had no respect for me.
Huh?
What about the house work?
Did she do the cooking and cleaning?
We had to hire a maid.
We've been ordering out for
food more and more everyday.
So, she's totally useless?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I thought with the baby
that you know,
it's gonna make her a
little happier, naturally.
Okay.
Makes sense.
I thought she's gonna
wanna work on the marriage
but I mean...
She is bringing so much shame to us.
She has to come back, no choice.
What, huh?
They won't disclose anything
on the passenger manifests.
What does that mean?
They're obligated to
protect passenger information.
All the airlines say the same damn thing.
[Father] I guess it's the law.
(doorbell ringing)
Hey go, she has come back.
Go, go, go, it's her.
Go.
Good evening sir, LAPD.
We received a report of a missing person.
A Deepa Verma.
Does somebody by that name reside here?
Yes.
[Officer] And she's missing, correct?
Uh, who called you?
An Elizabeth Atkins.
Thank you officer but we
know what happened to her.
[Officer] May we come in?
[Peter] Listen, we know
what happened to Deepa.
She ran away back to India.
Okay, so she went to India on her own?
Yes, and perhaps you can
help us out this evening.
Maybe you can get the airlines
to release her flight information to us.
No sir, she's over the age of 21.
She's a consenting adult
but you do have evidence
that she went to India
on her own?
Yes officer, we have it.
Because there is a report
that there has been some foul play.
No, nonsense.
Look, this has all been
one big misunderstanding.
This is a private family matter
and we are taking care of it.
Thank you.
[Liz] That's not true.
[Officer] What's that, ma'am?
Something's happened to her.
Ask him.
Excuse me, sir.
Good evening.
[Atul] Good evening.
Are you miss Verma's husband?
Uh yes.
Okay, can I have your
first name, please?
[Atul] Atul.
And how do you spell that?
[Atul] A-T-U-L.
What is the purpose of this, officer?
Well, we received a report
and we're abided to
follow through with it.
It's okay.
And you are the last person
to see your wife, correct?
[Atul] I mean I guess so.
I saw her this morning.
Well, do you have an
idea of her whereabouts?
Well yes, I mean I do officer.
She, she was gonna go back
to India several times.
I had to stop her and this time
she did it without telling me.
I mean, I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
[Liz] He's lying.
[Officer] What makes you say that?
He's lied to me several
times about her already.
Like he's trying to hide something.
If you'll search the garage
I know you'll find something.
Officer, I don't know why she is
creating all these problems.
She's my best friend.
I'm all she has.
I know that they used
to have horrible fights.
All of her clothes are upstairs.
Does that make any sense?
And her purse.
He said that she was pregnant.
Well, she told me when they came back
from the fertility clinic
that they can't have children.
He's sterile.
[Mother] Quiet girl, talking nonsense.
Get out of here.
[Peter] Look, you are
way out of line, way out.
[Father] You better leave.
[Liz] Officer, he just
called her on her cell phone
and in front of me acted like
he was on the phone with her
but then when I tried to call her
it rang upstairs.
You know Liz, you and
my wife are good friends
and I don't know, maybe you're angry,
I don't know what's going on...
No, no, no, no, no.
Listen, I can prove it.
If she was going to go somewhere
then why would she leave her purse
and her phone behind?
That doesn't make any sense.
(shoes stomping)
It was here.
The purse is missing?
It was him.
He got rid of it.
It was up there.
Is that true, Mr. Verma?
No, of course not.
Look officer, she spent a
lot of time with my wife
and quite frankly I think it's made
this woman hate me.
I mean, that's all I can come up with.
Well, without any evidence of foul play
there really isn't a lot we can do.
[Atul] Thank you, officer.
Thank you, officer.
Thank you very much for coming.
If she doesn't show
up give us a call, okay?
(door closing)
How dare you, huh?
How dare you say such things about my son?
Who are you to say such things?
I wasn't lying.
Huh?
(hand slapping)
Shut up.
Shut up.
All right, we're not doing this here.
Go, go.
Sadij, get her out.
Wait, wait, wait, my purse, our camera.
[Jason] I'll get it, I'll get it.
Atul, I know, it was you.
(shoes clicking)
(shoes clicking)
My god, that was crazy.
I mean, sh*t, can you believe that?
I need a drink, you want one?
Did you see their faces?
God, I thought they were gonna k*ll us.
Didn't think we were getting
out of there alive at all.
That guy's mother,
she's got the nastiest evil eye.
Did you see the way she
was looking at everyone?
Can you imagine growing up with that?
She smelled like curry.
Anyways, I can't believe she hit you.
Are you all right, babe?
(suspenseful music)
Oh god.
(suspenseful music)
How can suddenly so
much shame come to us?
Everybody knows everything.
How am I gonna show my face anywhere?
We chose the girl for him.
Is everybody gone?
Gone.
We're gonna stay here tonight.
I wanna be alone.
No, no, that's not necessary.
Out of question.
Look, let's do this.
In the morning she'll make some breakfast,
we'll sit down and discuss our strategy
as to what to do next.
We can try calling Delhi in the morning.
By then maybe her parents know more.
Ha yeah, they already know.
What are they gonna say?
No, listen.
I need space tonight.
I need space.
No, I said no.
I'll call you tomorrow, that's it.
You should not be alone.
Don't you get it?
I need to try to think.
Listen, okay you know what?
You don't understand, okay?
I need to think.
I need to think.
I need to be alone.
I need to understand everything
that's going on today.
We are just gonna stay
down here in that room.
We will not bother you and that's it.
Mom, mom.
[Mother] What?
I want to be alone.
I want to be alone.
That's all I'm asking.
[Mother] No.
That's all I'm asking.
No, you're not, you cannot be,
and should not be alone.
No.
Okay, it's okay.
I'm gonna go, it's all right.
Yes, I...
Wait.
Come here, come here.
Come inside.
You're not going anywhere.
[Father] She'll make some breakfast...
Listen.
You brought her into this house.
You did this and now you can't do
one simple thing that I ask you to do.
One simple thing.
What do you want from me?
He's right.
Let him think it over.
We'll come in the morning.
Call us in the morning, won't you?
Yes.
What difference does it make
if we just stay down here?
We're not gonna bother him.
[Father] It's his choice, let's go.
(door closing)
(thunder crashing)
I'm done.
I'm really done.
Where are you going?
I need to get some air.
(suspenseful music)
You've gotta be kidding me, Liz.
[Liz] Leave me alone.
(suspenseful music)
Liz.
(door closing)
Liz.
Didn't think I was gonna
let you go without me, did you?
(suspenseful music)
He's turning left.
Is that him?
What has he done, Liz?
Liz?
What are we gonna do?
Follow him to 7-11?
It's probably one he owns anyway.
Is that supposed to be funny?
Maybe not so much.
(suspenseful music)
He's getting on the freeway.
[Liz] Oh sh*t.
We're gonna go after him?
Suppose he's staying with
relatives out of town.
[Liz] Jason.
(suspenseful music)
Dammit.
(suspenseful music)
(thunder crashing)
(suspenseful music)
There he is.
[Liz] Where?
[Jason] Liz, he's gonna see you.
[Liz] I don't care.
(tires screeching)
[Jason] Jesus.
(suspenseful music)
(tires screeching)
(suspenseful music)
He just saw us, Liz.
sh*t.
God.
(suspenseful music)
Liz.
[Liz] I know.
Jesus.
(suspenseful music)
Liz, you're gonna k*ll us.
[Liz] Stop.
(tires screeching)
(suspenseful music)
He's going down a dead end street.
We got him.
[Liz] Where is he going?
(suspenseful music)
Oh my god.
Liz, get out of the way.
Liz.
(tires screeching)
(car engine revving)
Are you okay?
[Jason] I think so.
You?
Yeah.
Where is he?
Liz, let's just go home.
I'm afraid to ask what you're thinking.
Liz.
Liz, are you all right?
Deepa's gone.
She counted on me and now it's too late.
What more could you have done?
I failed her.
You don't even know for sure
that anything's even happened to her.
Not for sure.
He pays attention to the
little details, you know?
He's got everyone on his side.
He's one of those kind of guys.
What kind of guys?
The kind that gets away with it.

(suspenseful music)
(Atul gasping)
[Radio] Sunny skies today
with highs in the mid
70s, 80s in the valleys.
Tomorrow expect to see off shore flow
which is gonna bring temperatures up
four to five degrees...
I'm sorry.
(suspenseful music)
[Radio] Back to the music...
(suspenseful music)
(door closing)
(suspenseful music)

You did very well.
Don't worry, everything work out.
She's much better than
the last one, no question.
Okay?
(airplane engine revving)
(upbeat music)
(singing in a foreign language)
(singing in a foreign language)
(car door closing)
Oh, thank you.
(car engine revving)
Can you go round the house
and make sure all the Christmas
lights are plugged in?
[Jason] Yes.
Oh, oh, oh, and find the cam corder
and we gotta put the games out too.
[Jason] Games will be out.
Yes, all right.
We've gotta get ready
for all the nieces and
nephews to come over.
[Jason] It's gonna be fine, okay?
All right, thank you.
[Jason] It's fine.
(car doors closing)
Don't worry about it.
Welcome to your new home.
I don't expect you to understand our ways
but leave us alone.
Do you understand?
And keep out of it.
(suspenseful music)
Congratulations.
Hey where are you?
Where are you?
We're missing you over here.
We're waiting for you.
This is for you right here.
[Friend] Cheers.
(suspenseful music)
(hammer banging)
(door closing)
(slow music)
(slow music continues)
[Atul] But even simple little things
like a little sabzi, you
can't even do that right.
(slow music)
