LC:Thank you for coming in. I just want to state for the record again that you are under no obligation to be here.

HW:I need to know what happened to my wife.

LC:I understand. You said you had something to show me?

HW:Yes.

LC:For the tape, Mr. Woolf has taken two rings from his pocket.

HW:Her wedding ring and engagement ring. Eden left them behind. She always does when she goes running. Have you found her yet?

LC:I’m afraid not.

HW:The crazy woman outside my house yesterday, who showed up again at the gallery claiming to be Eden, then broke into our home, and stole her car. Have you found her?

LC:No. But we have found the car.

HW:Where?

LC:Abandoned about a mile from Hope Falls in Blackmoor NationalPark. I’m just trying to establish the facts and understand how all of this fits together.

LC:As you say, we don’t know for sure what has happened yet. Is it possible your wife might have just left?

HW:Left me, you mean?

LC:Could she have gone to visit someone without telling you? Is there a friend who might know where Eden is? Someone who would know her real state of mind?

HW:Are you saying I don’t know my wife? She was fine. She was happy until the other woman showed up.

LC:Do you have any children?

HW:A daughter.

LC:What is her name?

HW:My daughter doesn’t have anything to do with this. She’s never even been to Hope Falls.

LC:She doesn’t live with you?

HW:She’s eighteen.

LC:I’d like to speak to her.

HW:I already told you…
