Bill Harford attends the party at the mysterious mansion that Nick Nightingale told him about. He is ushered to a crowded room and unmasked by the master of ceremonies. A woman intervenes and insists on redeeming him, at an undisclosed personal cost. Bill is let off with a warning not to tell anyone about what happened. Back home, his wife Alice tells him about her dream in which she was having sex with the naval officer and many other men, and laughing at the idea of Bill witnessing the scene.

December 24, 1997
After unsuccessfully attempting to locate Nick Nightingale, Bill Harford returns to the mysterious mansion, where he is warned to stay away. He finds out about Mandy's overdose from a New York Post newspaper article, then learns of her death when he visits the hospital. Back home, he finds his mask from the party on his pillow and tells his wife Alice everything. The newspaper prop provides the date, and assumed to be current since Bill gets it from a street newspaper box, allowing for extrapolation of the rest of the film's timeline. Alternate theories suggest that because the newspaper prop also contains an article about a real-life event that occurred on December 10, 1996 (in which suspected bank robber Anthony Norman took a hostage aboard a Long Island Rail Road train car, characterizing the events as having happened "yesterday"), the date is actually December 11 and the date on the prop is a mistake. Mistake or not, that's the visible date.
