Fleeing and still adamant that Sam is real, she locates Ash (Dominic West), a member of the support group, whose daughter Lauren (Kathryn Faughnan), was Sam's friend and died in the same crash. However, he also dismisses her and claims he never had a daughter, and calls the police. Shaken by Telly's certainty, he explores his house, discovering Lauren's old room covered up by new paint and wallpaper; in a rush, he remembers his daughter and losing her. Chasing after Telly, he rescues her from the police and they go into hiding, pursued by National Security agents. On the run, they speculate about who would have the power, resources, and motive to want to make them forget about their children.
