Later, her body - or should we say "a" body - is recovered and identified by her father, who happens to be a policeman. Alex (Francois Cluzet), the husband, is suspected of the crime, but it is pinned on some serial killers who have been operating in the neighborhood. Now, eight years...

But when all is said and done, we still come together as one people and pledge our allegiance not just to a place on a map or a certain leader but to the words my mother read to me years ago: "that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness...
