His Wife & Daughter Disappear on LL Floor And When he Gets There he Finds it's Hell on Earth

After spending Thanksgiving with his in-laws, Ray drives home to his

wife

Joanne and

daughter

Peri, but things aren't exactly cheerful. Ray and Joanne are going through another argument, which has been very common in their marriage lately; This time it's about Joanne's parents not liking Ray and having offered him wine while knowing he is a recovering addict. In fact, this argument started because they were late for dinner thanks to Ray driving slowly, and he has to remind Joanna that this is part of his recovery after his first

wife

, Abby, died in a car accident he caused earlier. many years.

Ray wants to make things better, but Joanne is starting to think that her marriage is doomed and that they should accept the truth. Her argument is suddenly interrupted by Peri, whose music player no longer works. Ray forgot to bring extra batteries, so to keep her distracted, he sings himself a cute song, which Peri enjoys until she announces that she needs to go to the bathroom. The family decides to stop at the next gas station, and while Joanne takes Peri to the bathroom, Ray makes some purchases: a coffee for himself, a can of soda for Joanne, batteries for Peri and, in a last moment of weakness, he also grabs two small bottles of liquor.

Unfortunately the clerk doesn't accept credit cards, and since Ray doesn't have enough cash, he has to leave something behind, but instead of throwing away the liquor, he leaves the batteries and tells his

daughter

that the store is out of stock. The parents are ready to travel again, but Peri has another complaint: she has lost her compact mirror. Joanne goes to check the bathroom while Ray checks the back seat, complaining about the mess her daughter made there while she takes the opportunity to get out of the car and wander around. There is a construction site next to the gas station, and Peri walks too close to an exposed well

when

she is suddenly approached by a wild dog.

Hearing her daughter's cries for help, Ray approaches her and tries to scare the animal away with just words, and

when

that doesn't work, he throws a rock at her. The dog runs away from her, but also ends up causing Peri to fall into the well and Ray chases after her to try to save her. For several seconds, Ray is unconscious at the bottom of the well, hearing a voice telling him that "they're both gone." He wakes up when Joanne also goes down the well, crying for the now-dead Peri, before running to Ray to check on her.

At first Ray doesn't react, he can only stare dazedly at his dead daughter and push Joanne away, but after closing his eyes he is finally able to take hold of reality and sees Joanne with Peri again. The girl's arm is broken, so Ray has to be careful when picking her up to carry her back to the car where Joanne will hold her down to keep her from moving. He also wants to call 911, but Ray remembers seeing a hospital sign earlier and swears that he can get them there faster than the time it will take for an ambulance to arrive.

Since this is an emergency, Ray allows himself to drive very fast like he hasn't done in years, making very dangerous moves to overtake the cars in front of them. This gives him a feeling of pride on the part of Joanne, who during the argument had thought that Ray would no longer fight for her family. At the hospital, Ray tells the receptionist that he has an emergency, but they tell him to sit and wait like everyone else. This angers Joanne, who wants her husband to be a man and get her daughter a doctor, so Ray tries again and this time they make him sign her name on the admission sheet.

The receptionist also takes a phone call to inform Dr. Berthram that "another" has arrived, making sure to mention the age and blood type. At least now they're on the list and Ray can sit with Joanne again, who hands him Peri's scarf so the now sleeping girl won't be so hot. Joanne apologizes for snapping at him and thanks him for driving her quickly, even making a joke that makes them both laugh and causes Ray to comment that they haven't laughed together in a long time. When Joanne's neck starts to hurt, Ray goes to a bending machine to grab a cold can of soda and notices something through the door: an ambulance arrives with two bodies and leaves with a box of organs.

Ray brings Joanne the can to put on her neck, and seconds later they are called into an office to fill out Peri's information while they wait for the doctor. The secretary has a lot of questions beyond the mandatory allergy check, like asking Ray about his previous wife on his insurance, his alcoholism problem, and her job. She is also very insistent on including Peri for organ donation, but her parents reject her. After such a long questionnaire, it turns out that this hospital does not accept Ray's health insurance, so he promises to pay in cash after visiting an ATM.

The secretary goes to ask permission to accept cash and, after having a mysterious chat with the hospital administrator, she finally sends a nurse who will admit Peri and take her to a bed. On the way out, Ray hears the secretary call Dr. Berthram like the receptionist did, giving him all the details about Peri. Moments later, Peri is finally in a bed and Dr. Berthram comes over to do the checkup. He talks to her very sweetly and keeps her mood calm, he also asks Ray about what happened and as Ray explains to her, Joanne is surprised to find out about the dog, because Ray didn't mention it before.

Once the checkup is finished, Dr. Berthram asks the nurse to give Peri some medication while she talks to her parents. Apparently he is worried about possible internal damage so he wants to do a CT scan, which It is very expensive. Ray doesn't care, he'll pay for whatever Peri needs. When Dr. Berthram asks about the scratch on Ray's head, which he didn't know he had until now, Ray ignores him and states that he is fine. A few minutes later, Nurse Volk brings a stuffed animal to distract Peri while they take her to do the scan; She also points out that Dr.

Bertram doesn't smile for everyone. Unfortunately, only one visitor can accompany the patient to the lower levels, so Joanne takes the elevator with Peri and the nurse while Ray returns to the waiting room to take a nap. A few hours later, Ray awakens suddenly when another man points out that he has been talking in his sleep. After quickly checking the scratch on his forehead in the bathroom mirror, Ray goes to the reception desk to ask about Peri, but it's been a shift change and now there's another employee, and Dr. Berthram is gone too. to home. The receptionist promises that she will make the necessary calls to find out how Peri's scan is going and which doctor took over her case, but for now Ray needs to wait.

In the waiting room, a woman tries to make small talk with Ray, but she only makes him more nervous and makes him run back to the reception desk to ask about Peri again. The receptionist still hasn't heard from the doctors and when she looks at the system, she doesn't find Peri's name. Wondering if she might have spelled it wrong, she asks for Ray's insurance numbers and she can't believe it when Ray says she'll pay cash because that's not allowed. When the scratch on his forehead begins to bleed, Ray begins to lose his temper and demands to know where his daughter is, so the receptionist tries calling lower levels again.

While on the phone, Ray notices that there are people outside dumping many mysterious bags of hazardous waste. After the receptionist hangs up, she informs Ray that there haven't been any child patients on the lower levels in the last twenty-four hours, which angers Ray even more. After making a scene, he ignores the receptionist's warnings and runs to the bed they were given earlier, only to find a different family in it. As he begins to make another scene, he is surrounded by a nurse, guard Jeff, and Dr. Lucado, who do their best to calm him down and offer his help.

Dr. Lucado listens to Ray's story and reviews the entire day's paperwork, but Peri is not mentioned anywhere. When Ray starts to lose his temper again, he finally

finds

one staff member who didn't leave with the new shift: the nurse who brought Peri to his bed. They call her and she admits that she saw Ray before, but only to take care of his wound on her forehead and nothing else, she never saw anyone else with him. Furious, Ray causes another scene as she accuses her of lying, so Jeff and the nurse grab him to give him a sedative and take him away from the other patients.

When Ray is taken to a private office, he pretends to be fine and promises to behave, but as soon as the nurse and Jeff let him rest, Ray

gets

up and looks for ways to counteract the effects of the sedative. He

finds

adrenaline in a cabinet and injects it enough times to feel alert again; He then breaks the window of the door to escape, making his way down the hallway ignoring the blows to his head. While searching for his family, Ray runs into Volk, but for some reason he is now dressed as a doctor instead of a nurse.

Before he can ask any questions, Jeff appears to catch Ray and begins a chase through the hospital until they both make it out. Hiding in the back of a truck, Ray tricks Jeff into thinking he has escaped and, once the guard is gone, he returns to his own car. While holding on to his daughter's toys, Ray thinks about what to do and notices a police car passing by him. He runs up to the officers and tells them the whole story of what happened, showing them his ID and a photo of his family as proof. These are serious accusations and the police decide to investigate and see Jeff as soon as they enter the building.

Jeff tells them that everything he did was for the sake of hospital security, but the officers still decide to check the bed Peri had been in. They also meet Dr. Lucado, who tells the same story, and the police force him to call Dr. Bertram to clarify everything. They also want to take a look at the room with the CAT scanner, so they are all taken to

floor

three while ignoring Ray, who points out that he saw his wife and daughter being taken to the lower levels, not the

floor

above. Computer logs show that no scan was performed at the time Ray says Peri was here, but this still isn't enough proof for Ray, and he accuses the hospital of taking his family somewhere else. .

While waiting for Bertram to arrive, the nurses search through the trash for old admission forms and find Ray's name, but this only proves that he was here alone. Berthram arrives shortly after and shares what happened earlier: Ray arrived alone claiming that he had been in a car accident and was seen by Volk, who asked Berthram for a second opinion when he noticed Ray's erratic behavior. Berthram wanted to do a head scan, but Ray refused, claiming that he wanted to return to his wife Abby, who was waiting outside. When Ray explains that Abby is dead and that Berthram stole the questionnaire information, the police officers become suspicious and Jeff offers a solution to finally put this matter to rest: security cameras.

The recordings show that Ray is alone, although he swears that his wife is sitting right under the camera and does not appear on the screen, he is also suspicious because there are some glitches that Jeff attributes to it being an old system. There are no cameras inside the emergency area due to privacy concerns, but officers have no reason to search the hospital, especially without a warrant. Desperate to prove that he's not making anything up, Ray thinks hard and comes up with an idea: the gas station attendant should be able to prove his story, so the police officers call the station and ask to find this attendant for some time. . questions.

At that moment, Bertram asks them to go to the ER because a nurse has found something: it's Peri's yellow scarf. There is some blood on it, but since it's coming from Ray's forehead, it's still not enough to prove the girl's presence because Ray could have brought her himself. Dr. Berthram tells Ray that it is not unusual to be confused or mix things up when one has a head injury, causing Ray to have a nervous breakdown as he swears that he is telling the truth. His conversation is suddenly interrupted by Lucado, who brought Dr. Jacobs with him.

Jacobs is a psychiatrist and promises to help Ray find his family because everyone is worried about what happened to them now. He takes Ray to a private office and reveals that they finally found a file, but it's not Peri's, it's Ray's. As Jacobs asks many questions about Joanne, Peri, and the car accident that killed Abby, Ray becomes increasingly nervous and swears over and over that he hasn't drunk since Abby died, which was his fault. Jacobs thinks something happened to Joanne and Peri, so they should look at the construction site: he thinks they may still be there.

The officers follow Jacobs' advice and call the canine unit to accompany them. The gas station is closed and no one at the police station has yet been able to locate the employee. At the well, the dogs find Peri's compact and an amount of blood that could not belong to a living person. The police officersThey ignore Ray's claim that it is due to his head injury and decide that this is now the crime scene, so they call the CSI unit. Dr. Jacobs approaches Ray and guides him through his memories until she finally discovers what happened: there was no dog.

Ray lost his temper during an argument with her wife, throwing a rock that accidentally hit Peri and caused her to fall, and when Joanne confronted him about what she had done, Ray pushed her and killed her too. Jacobs explains to Ray that he cries that sometimes the mind can create alternate realities to protect itself from trauma, but that only puts Ray into that numb state. When one of the officers comes to arrest him on suspicion of murder, Ray finally recovers thanks to the barking of one of the police dogs: it turns out that the wild dog from earlier has reappeared.

Excited to have proof of everything, Ray attacks the police officer and takes his gun, using it to get everyone to do what he says. Ignoring Jacobs' reminder that this time he imagined the dog. Also, Ray takes everyone to the gas station bathroom and locks them in after taking Jacobs' key card. After speeding like crazy on his return trip, Ray enters the hospital through the back door thanks to Jacobs' card and walks down the hallway while he tries to look away every time he sees a staff member who may recognize him. . At one point he accidentally stops in front of the maternity ward and seeing all the babies reminds him of the night Abby died.

It turns out that she was pregnant at the time, which explains why Ray had dreamed the words "they're both gone." Ray then steals a doctor's white coat from an office, allowing him to enter the elevator without receiving unwanted attention. The lower levels require a key that he doesn't have, but luckily for Ray, Jeff also enters the elevator and has his own set of keys. Ray pulls out the police gun he had hidden in his pants and threatens Jeff to make him activate the elevator, but this only causes Jeff to jump on Ray and start a fight.

After much fighting, Ray manages to kill Jeff and take the keys from him, allowing her to finally reach his destination. On the lower level, Ray finds the stuffed animal that Volk gave Peri in a trash can. He also sees the doctors come out with boxes of human organs, and when he checks the rooms, he discovers that there are empty bodies inside. Remembering all the conversations he heard before and the things he saw outside, Ray realizes that there is an organ harvesting ring and that his family has been kidnapped to use them as products to sell. As he runs down the hallway, Ray enters another room and here he finally finds Peri, who is about to be operated on by Lucado.

Ray makes everyone back away by threatening them with his gun and checks on his daughter, who fortunately is only asleep and hasn't been hurt yet. Joanne is also near her, asleep in a wheelchair after being sedated to keep her out of the way. When Ray tries to take his family, the doctors and nurses jump on him to stop him, so he makes a desperate move and shoots sleeping gas into the tank, causing a small explosion and starting a fire. Ray is dizzy but fine, so he puts Peri in Joanne's arms and wheel them out of the room, shooting anyone who dares get in his way, including Volk.

A quick ride in the elevator

gets

the family out of the building quickly before the police arrive, and as Ray walks away singing to his daughter and his wife, what really happened is finally revealed. Jacobs was right: Ray had killed his family and then had hallucinations taking them to the hospital. The lower level turned out to be the morgue, and the bodies Ray saw were normal, he had only imagined the emptiness of it. When he found Lucado, he had been doing an autopsy on a normal patient, but Ray's brain changed him to Peri, and now he was carrying a random person in the back seat of his car.

The real Peri and Joanne have been in the trunk of the car the entire time.
