Original subtitles

Wow.

But when I start trying to tell you, that's when you have to tell me, hey,

this kind of trouble is only just gone.

Good morning, sweetheart.

Morning. How are you feeling?

Fine. I have your breakfast ready just a little...

Looks like a beautiful day outside.

Here, let me pour you some tea.

Is something wrong?

This tea is cold. Are you stupid? Can't you make a lousy pot of tea?

I'm sorry.

I'll heat it up. Forget it. I don't want your...

you to clean up your room?

Yes.

Well?

Can I have a cookie first?

How about if you clean up your room first and I'll give you a cookie

But Mom, if I have a cookie first, I'll be in a better mood while I'm cleaning.

Okay.

Oh, my God.

Right.

I thought... It's called early release.

Reduce your sentence by half for good behavior.

Aren't you going to invite us in?

Um, the judge said you're not allowed within 500 feet of the car. Come on,

Janet, just for a minute.

I'll even keep the meter running.

You haven't changed anything?

What do you want?

What do I want? What do you think I want?

I want us to be together again, a family, the way we used to be.

Isn't that what we both want, Jen, just to put our lives back together?

I... just want... Where's April?

She's not home.

She's still at school.

April's still at school?

That expensive school she goes to gets out at 1, Janet.

She's upstairs, isn't she?

I'll tell you what.

I'm going to go take care of some things, but I'll be back. So why don't

have...

Once you have the restraining order lifted, get all dressed up, you and

will all go out and celebrate my homecoming.

Hmm?

You call this running? Yeah.

My Uncle Clarence, you know him, right? Right. He's 93.

Gets to the dinner table faster than you run.

That's funny.

Honey, you look a little overheated. Need some water?

Yeah, sure.

Thank you. Sure.

You're so slow.

You make Sunday Mass look like an action movie.

Okay,

are you all right? Yeah, I think I really went over on that one.

Thank you.

Yeah.

I recall one activity where you enjoy the fact that I'm slow. Oh, yeah.

This is my chance to really write something special.

Besides, tonight's my first night on the lines.

And then it's over, right?

Look, Ray, if you're really that concerned, just take me out the story.

No, no, I don't care about the story. This is about you.

This subject, it can't help but bring up things from your past.

Look, Ray, I know you're concerned, and I love you for that.

But I'm a big girl.

Okay?

I can handle it.

You call me later at the office.

Yeah, yeah.

Don't worry.

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, your phone.

Carrie?

Is he going to live with us?

No.

Why did he come back?

I don't know.

But I thought you said... Honey.

I promise.

Everything's going to be okay.

But what if he hurts you?

He's never going to hurt me again.

Yes? It's us.

Hi, Kate.

How's my favorite niece?

My daddy came home today.

I know.

I've got your favorite show on the bedroom TV, so why don't you go watch

talk to Mommy, okay?

You're not going back there.

What are my choices?

Running the rest of my life?

Moving every six months until he finally tracks me down?

Even if I was willing to do that, what kind of life is that for April?

So what are you going to do?

I'm going to go back.

And I'm going to face him.

You think he's going to listen to you?

He'll listen.

This time he'll listen.

Women's crisis line.

Look, I want to know if there's some kind of law that can keep my husband...

my God! He's coming in! Ma 'am?

Help me, please! Ma 'am, where are you? No! Help me!

Help me!

Ma 'am, can you get away?

No!

What could that counselor have done differently?

Trace the call.

Not enough time.

She needed to get the address.

She tried.

You heard that. The first thing she said was, where are you?

The answer is, there was nothing she could do.

That is the hardest part of this job.

When you find yourself sitting here with a dead phone, thinking about how you

failed, and there's no way for me to train or prepare you to handle it, your

ability to both do your best and still understand your limitations will be what

finally determines if you'll be able to stick with this work or not.

So the idea is not to get too involved, right?

Well, the question is, what is too involved?

If you're going home at the end of your shift, carrying the pain of this with

you, then yeah, you're too involved.

On the other hand, no woman calling in the middle of the crisis wants to open

herself up to some unfeeling technician.

So your involvement is crucial.

Yeah, it's like a lifeguard. You have to swim out. And then be able to swim back

again because your emotional well -being is as important to me as the cause.

I miss you so much.

Who's the guy?

He's some guy from school.

Yeah, I want to meet him, okay? Greg! Hey, come here.

Um, Missy says you're a friend of hers, is that right?

Yeah, we all go to Lincoln.

Greg, stop it.

Look, all right, I'm not doing anything, okay? I just wanted to come over here,

and I wanted to introduce myself to your friends, okay?

All right?

My name's Greg.

What's your name?

Alan. Alan?

All right, Alan. Did Missy tell you I'm her boyfriend? Did she tell you that?

Yeah, she brings it up all the time.

Would you do me a favor and you try to remember that? Can you do that? Yeah,

sure, man.

Yeah? Whatever.

Good.

Missy, that guy's a geek, okay?

Why'd you have to do that?

Do what?

Missy, that guy's just trying to get in your pants, okay? That's all he's doing.

Missy, wait a second. Just wait a second.

All right, look, I am sorry, okay? I said it. I'm sorry.

What made you want to be a volunteer?

Wanting to help, I guess.

Thinking that if someone was desperate enough to call a stranger, maybe I could

be that person on the other end.

Yeah.

Well, so far we've only had one caller, and they hung up. Yeah.

Don't you worry. The rush is going to get started any minute now.

It gets busier after dark? Oh, yeah.

The work day ends, the bars fill up, and all the anger people keep bottled up

all day gets... Women's crisis line.

Can you just tell me how to stop a guy from being jealous?

What happens when he gets jealous?

He just gets angry. I mean, he just goes off.

Did he hit you?

No, I mean, maybe just one time, but that's all.

It was my fault anyway.

You're wrong.

Look,

I just want to know if there's something I can do to make him not be so jealous

all the time.

What's your name?

Missy.

Let me ask you a question, Missy.

Why would I be afraid of him?

Because if he's hit you once, he's going to do it again.

And that's not true.

It is true, Missy.

I think you know that. I think you know you're in a dangerous relationship.

Do you understand what I'm saying, Missy?

I can't talk right now. I have to go.

With him?

Yeah. Will you call me later?

I'll try.

What's your name?

Oh, it doesn't matter.

Anyone here?

Fine. I don't care. Carrie.

My name is Carrie.

Okay, maybe I'll call you later.

What's the matter?

I didn't handle that very well. No, you're wrong. You planted the seed. Now

knows there's someone she can talk to.

The problem is she's blaming herself.

They always do.

Especially if they're young or abused as children.

Women's crisis line.

Are you all right?

I'm sorry.

I don't know why I'm doing this.

Maybe you just need someone to talk to.

That makes sense, doesn't it?

Have you been drinking?

Yes.

I've been drinking, but it's not something I normally do.

Why are you drinking now?

To kill pain.

Gather courage.

It doesn't really help, does it?

Why do you need courage?

Did I frighten you?

Aren't you frightened?

Yes.

I suppose.

Well, then let's call the police.

And have them do what?

Violate his restraining order?

Put him in jail another 18 months?

It's not going to stop him.

It's just going to delay the inevitable.

We could go to a shelter.

He'd find me sooner or later.

Where are you? What's your address?

I won't tell you that.

But if you're in danger... The only thing I'm in danger of is running out of

vodka.

I'm going to have to make a quick trip to death.

Wait, don't go.

You can't help me. You haven't given me a chance yet.

All the same, you've been really sweet to keep me company.

Let's keep talking.

Here's how it's going to happen.

So you'll know when they arrest me.

When you see me on the news.

Wait. Come to the door.

He'll ask for our daughter. Don't do this. She won't be here.

Then he'll start to hit me.

And I'll pull out my gun.

And I'll fire every bullet I've got into him.

the reporters. We talked just before the punching bag punched back.

Please, don't.

There's nothing more you can do. That is not true. I can help her. No, you

can't. She hung up, and you can't help someone who won't let you help.

But if I can find her... Absolutely not.

I thought you said we were supposed to help these women.

I thought you said we were supposed to swim out. Not in these dangerous waters.

Not when I've seen lifeguards drown.

Carrie, I know your heart's in the right place, but you are just going to have

to accept this. Do you understand?

I understand.

women's crisis line no that's okay take your time can i go out for a breath of

fresh air carrie i know this is hard for you i'm just gonna go out for a while

carrie carrie

35, 31, Lakeshore.

I hope she's all right.

Hope's not enough, honey.

But what if she's able to help that woman?

What if she's not?

What if she gets caught in a situation she can't control?

Did that happen to you?

No, not to me.

To a counselor who works here.

She's very bright and very intuitive, and she took a call from a woman who was

afraid of leaving her husband.

And without telling me or anyone else, this counselor arranged to meet with

woman. What happened?

The husband came back unexpectedly and slashed them both to death with a

straight razor.

Women's crisis line.

It's a man who says he cares for his fiance.

Hello, I'm the director here. How can I help you?

Yeah, sorry, I don't mean to tie up your lines there, but if it's possible, I'd

like to speak to Carrie, please.

What do you mean, unavailable?

Is she on a call or something?

On my desk, please.

He's all yours.

How are you doing, Tom?

No, just back from an extended trip.

Yeah? Where'd you go?

Hell.

That must have been some kind of a bad vacation, huh?

Get a phone I can use.

Down the road a piece.

Oh, jeez, I'm sorry.

Sorry about that.

Thank you.

Mr. McConnell, Richard Sutherland here.

I know it's not to get together today, but it's these person issues that I...

Sutherland?

Mr. McConnell!

Hey, hi!

Uh, geez, I thought you'd left for the day.

You were supposed to be here two hours ago, weren't you?

Yeah, I'm sorry about that. That's actually why I'm calling. I, um, got

in traffic. I lost track of time.

What? I said, where are you now?

Oh, gee, boy.

Bishop Avenue?

Probably a good hour from your office.

You don't go near your wife's house, have you?

No. No, sir.

Are you on Bishop now, way up by the shopping center?

Yeah, way out there.

All right, then. Okay, I'm sorry about this. Maybe I'll see you next week.

There's a place called the Men's Recovery Center on Bishop and 83rd. I've

group starting there in 15 minutes. I'll see you then.

Mr.

McConnell, you know, I just, I

just, I really don't think that I need this kind of thing. And what I mean by

that is that I'm not good or comfortable with groups.

In terms of your release, require you to attend Rage of Men. management sessions

or finish your sentence in prison. So I suggest you get your... Okay, how about

next week?

No.

I'll see you in 15 minutes.

Okay.

I'll see you then.

Nice talking to you.

Show's over.

Look,

I

said I was sorry, Missy.

It just keeps happening, that's all.

So what does that mean? You don't want to see me anymore?

You didn't say that.

Well,

maybe it'd be best.

I know you don't really care about me anyway.

How can you say that?

How can I say that, Missy? We've been dating for, what, two months now, and

you're still giving me this little Miss Good Girl thing?

Yeah, I just thought you were a little bit older than that.

I just want to grow slow, that's all.

Maybe I'm just wasting my time.

Maybe you'd rather be with that guy, Alan. I don't know.

Look, I got you something.

And if you don't want it, I understand, but I wanted to give it to you.

It's so beautiful.

Maybe now you'll see how much I really do love you.

Do you want to forgive me?

No, I don't think so.

Does this mean you're going to give me what I want?

Greg, I've got to get home.

Greg, stop.

Greg, stop it.

Greg, stop it!

Fine. You go home to your mommy and your daddy, and you call me when you decide

to grow up, Missy, all right?

Let me get $5 in lottery tickets.

Fifth of October, please.

I don't need a bag.

Are you hurt?

I don't think so.

Okay, come on.

Let's get you home.

Okay, look out.

Oh, here.

Do we know you?

No, I just have one of those familiar faces.

Come on, let's get you home.

I'm going to punch your face in.

I'm thinking...

Maybe three months in prison. Hell, it's worth it.

I mean, I'm not going to take this from her.

I mean, I'm just going to do it.

What stopped you?

I saw my workbook.

Truth is, I was probably going to throw it at her.

But it hit me just how much this represents.

How hard I'm trying to stop my damn self.

I just started walking.

I kept walking until about 6 o 'clock in the morning.

Hello.

Sorry I'm late.

Well, the idea is to get here on time, not halfway through the session.

As long as you're here, come on in.

Introduce yourself to the group.

I'm Richard Sutherland.

Ah, go ahead.

Everybody's here for the same reasons.

I'm Richard Sutherland, and, uh... I was just released from the

Inland Men's Correctional Facility.

What'd you do?

I was an executive with an insurance company.

No, ma 'am.

What did you do?

I assaulted my wife.

With what?

The shaft of a golf club.

You put her in the hospital?

I don't understand the point of this.

You're a sick son of a bitch looking to make somebody else pay for that. That's

not true.

You're telling me that that bitch threw you in jail?

Destroyed your career?

Took away everything that you have?

And you're not even just a little bit pissed off?

No.

You're under control, aren't you?

Mr. Ice Cube.

You're not like the rest of the guys.

That's right.

And all I want now is to get on with the rest of my life.

Did you get that birthday card from your cousin? I forgot.

I'll get it for you.

Where did you get that?

Craig gave it to me.

You're kidding.

Oh, let me see it. Let me see.

You know,

you're a very lucky girl.

You don't meet guys like Greg every day.

He wants me to go out with him later.

You know your dad doesn't like you going out on school nights.

Okay.

Okay?

What do you mean?

If that's the only fight you're going to put up, maybe you ought to get the beer

and I'll go out with Greg tonight.

I'll talk to your dad.

I appreciate you taking me home like this.

And I would invite you in, but I'm really not feeling well.

Well, could I make you a cup of coffee or something?

It's very kind, but I will be fine.

Is

something wrong?

I know who you are.

I know what you've been planning.

Who are you?

I spoke to you over the phone. I took your call at the women's crisis. Just

out. Not until you listen to me. Why should I?

You don't know what you're talking about.

There are shelters.

There are restraining orders.

Don't talk to me about restraining orders.

This one says he can't call.

This one says he can't come within 500 feet of this house.

You think any of these make a difference?

I'm the one that sent him to prison. I'm the one he blames for everything.

And none of these pieces of paper are going to make a difference or stop him

that he's back.

So you're just going to ruin your life. My life was ruined a long time ago.

And your daughter, she doesn't need you to be whole.

I'm doing this for her.

That's not true. You don't know.

Do you think she wants to go to trial?

Do you think she wants to see her mom behind bars for the rest of her life?

Just go.

We can do this another way, Janet.

We can pack your clothes and just go.

And go where?

To a shelter that'll take you and your daughter.

Where is she?

She's at my sister's.

The suitcases are in the closet.

I'll go get it, we'll see.

You are saying that this was all to get a story for the paper.

No, no, I'm saying that she was doing research for an article on domestic

violence. So she misrepresented herself to me? No, she needed to get inside it.

She needed to find out what was happening firsthand, that's all. And is

what she's doing right now? Just getting a little more up close and personal.

Fine.

This is more than just an assignment to her.

Carrie grew up in an incredibly abusive family.

She was ten, and her father beat her mother to death.

And it's possible she even saw it happen.

What do you mean, it's possible?

I've lived with her for three years, and she still won't talk to me about it.

Where's her father now?

He died shortly before the trial.

That's all I know.

Except now that she's researching the story, it's all started to come to the

surface. You realize that if she's out there trying to undo her past, she's in

lot more danger than the woman she's trying to help. You must have some kind

caller ID here, some kind of tracing system.

How many women do you think would call if it got out? We ID'd every call.

So what about emergency situations?

If we keep a line open, the phone company can trace a call, that's all.

So you have no idea where Carrie is?

All I know is that the woman had a restraining order and her husband was

released from prison after 18 months.

Who are you calling?

A friend of mine at the DA's office.

That might be enough to go on.

Yeah, I need to talk to Lenny Oppenheimer right away, please.

You ready?

Where is it?

You're going to a shelter. You don't need it, Janet.

You haven't answered my question.

Oh, my God.

What is it?

He used to make me choose something I loved and then he'd smash it.

Teach me a lesson.

And then he'd make me keep a piece of it so I'd remember.

Why didn't you just leave him?

I was... I was afraid he'd kill me.

And I was afraid I couldn't live without him.

That sounds really stupid, doesn't it?

I thought he was so much better than I deserved.

So much smarter and stronger.

I thought I was lucky to have him.

Well, wasn't he lucky to have you?

Hi, Janet.

Janet. Stay calm.

Hello. I don't think I've had the pleasure.

I'm a friend of Janet's.

What a coincidence that you just happened to drop by on the same night

come home.

Couldn't be that you didn't want to be alone with me, could it?

Just a friend.

Her car broke down. I gave her a lift.

Thanks. It was nice of you.

And I don't mean to be rude, but I think Janet and I would like to be alone now.

Hmm?

I'm afraid that's not if he's right.

Janet, listen to me. Excuse me.

Excuse me.

We've been seeing each other for quite a while, and I think we need our privacy.

Right?

Please just go.

Hey, thanks for everything Nice meeting you.

Thanks for helping out appreciate it Drive safely

Do you think my mommy's okay?

I'm sure she is.

But what if she isn't?

April, honey, your mom and dad are going to work this out.

Everything's going to be fine.

Why does he have to be angry all the time?

I don't know.

I don't think your daddy can help it.

Don't worry, sweetheart.

Your mommy's going to be fine.

I told you, I want to see my daughter.

She's not yours anymore.

Are you trying to get me angry?

I don't care. I'm not afraid of you anymore.

Well, you know, maybe that was a problem.

You never were. You're not enough anyway. Not enough to do even the

things that I asked.

I'm telling you to get out of this house. All I ever wanted was a little

respect.

To be treated like a man in my own house. A house I bought and paid for.

you think you can just kick me out.

You think you can just take my daughter and tell me to go away.

Is that what you think?

Get out.

Of this house.

Why are you doing this?

Why?

I am warning you.

Hello, Women's Crisis Line.

Can I speak to Carrie, please?

I'm sorry.

Carrie's not here right now.

Can I help you?

It's okay. It doesn't matter.

Is this Missy?

How did you know that?

Carrie said that you might call.

My name's Deb, by the way.

Well, I don't really have anything to say, so... Why don't you just tell me

what's going on?

You don't understand. My parents think he's great. My friends think he's great.

I mean, half the girls I know are trying to get him into bed.

And that makes everything all right?

Well, maybe not, but you're making it seem like he's some kind of monster.

All right, not a monster. Just a guy who scares and occasionally hits you.

Look, I just... I know if I talk to him, we can work it out.

Missy, there are other boys.

But he loves me.

He's... He said it. Lenny, listen, I understand that. All I'm asking is that

check your records.

Come on, for what, Ray? An unnamed inmate who did unknown time and

undisclosed... No, no, no. He did 18 months, and we know that it was for

abuse. Well, if he did 18 months, that means it had to be level four.

What level four? What is that?

It means he used a weapon.

Lenny, listen, Carrie could be with this guy right now.

Well, when do you think you're going to see him again?

Tonight.

Missy, that's not a good idea.

It's not a big deal. We're just going out.

Then see him at your house.

With my parents here, I'm sure. Missy!

Greg's here!

I have to go.

Don't be alone with him, Missy.

Don't worry.

Promise me, Missy.

Don't worry.

Just tell Carrie I say thanks.

What do you think's gonna happen?

I don't know.

Where are we going?

Some place special.

Look, I just want to talk.

Don't worry. We're just going to have some fun.

Okay?

What's this?

What's this, huh?

Come on, tell me. What is this? What, are you running away with your little

friend there, Janet?

I didn't want to run. I wanted to stay and face you.

Stay right here.

What do you want to say?

Get off. out of this house and don't ever come back.

That's very funny, Janet.

I'm warning you.

Where's my daughter?

Go to hell!

You know, you got quite a little mouth on you there, Janet. Say it to me,

Say it to me.

You cannot give me 200 names. All I'm asking for is a printout of incoming

calls. Look, you've got to be able to help me here.

Yeah, I'm calling shelters regarding a woman who may have made a call on the

line. Can you hold, please?

Women's crisis line.

Carrie. Carrie.

Lenny, hang on.

Hold the line.

I tried to call 911, but I couldn't get through.

Tell 911 to call the cops now.

Where are you?

Right here. Hang it up!

Carrie, can you hear me?

Now, who are you?

Who are you?

I'm a reporter.

I was doing an article on domestic violence when Janet called the crisis

I don't believe this. I don't believe you. Ray!

Shut up! Hey!

You go near that door. I'll kill her.

Brought us a little something.

Here.

I don't want any.

Oh, yeah, I guess you're right. I guess Mommy and Daddy wouldn't approve now,

would they?

Here, take a sip.

It's okay, you can take another sip.

Here, let me help you.

Oh, jeez.

Oh, man.

You've got a lot on your mind.

Just trying to help.

Yeah? Help? Who?

Write a story for your newspaper?

No, that's not why I'm... Shut up.

Please, you have to listen to me. I said, shut up.

I know why you're doing this. I know.

Who do you think you are?

You think you can talk to me?

You think you know me? Yes, my father was just like you. He couldn't...

You're not quite so tough, though, are you?

What did you

do?

What did you do?

Don't move.

You all right?

You okay?

Yeah? I'm sorry I didn't mean for that to happen.

Okay, let's get you out of those wet clothes.

Stop it.

I thought we were going to have some fun, Missy.

I don't want to.

Why are you always trying to force me? Force you?

Is that a joke, Missy?

Do you know how many girls I could have every week if I wanted to? Do you know

what those girls would be doing right now if I gave them something like this?

Huh?

You know what I should do?

I should give this to your friend from the mall. What's her name? Karen.

You remember Karen, don't you?

I mean me.

Oh, you didn't know?

Yeah, I met Karen a couple weeks ago at a party, and she showed me a really,

really good time. She earned this, Missy.

She has twice the body you got.

Just take me home. Of course, you do still have a lot of this little baby fat

you. Why are you doing this?

What, are you going to kill me, Janet?

You've wanted to finish me off for a long time, haven't you?

Go on.

Do it!

You think I won't?

You might as well, because I'm never going to stop being your husband.

I'm going to die.

If that's what you want, Janet.

Do you take this man to be your lawful wedded husband?

For richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, to death do us part. Do you

remember those vows, Janet?

I can't.

You just leave me alone.

I know something.

I believe you love me too.

I hate you.

Yeah, but you don't have the guts to pull the trigger, do you?

You're weak.

Damn it. I don't care what you have to do. I want that call source right now or

else.

Hold on.

Women's crisis.

There are not going to be any more games.

Of course, the big question is, what do I do with you?

Let her go.

Now, why would I do that?

So you can go call the police, have me sent to prison. Is that how your little

story ends?

If you don't do something about your shoulder, you're going to bleed to

You're concerned about me.

Give me some towels.

Get me some towels.

Since when did crusading reporters ever give a damn about the lives that they

messed up?

I didn't mess up your life.

What the hell have you been doing them so long? Calls originating from a

different district. The trace could take upwards of an hour. I don't believe

this. I know you think I'm responsible.

You don't even know the meaning of that word.

Women's crisis line? It's Leonard Oppenheimer for Ray.

Leonard Oppenheimer from the DA's office?

Yeah. Derek White, Roger Ozil, Richard Sutherland. They were all released from

state prisons within the last 48 hours for spousal assault.

Now, if your theory's right, your guy's probably one of them, but I have no idea

which. Yeah, I need addresses and phone numbers.

This world is a sewer.

And the only way you get out is by being tougher than every other idiot who's

trying to drag you right back down.

Did your father teach you that?

My father.

My father was an alcoholic who sat around and did nothing his entire life.

You think I'm like him?

I worked my entire life to provide for my family.

I earned the respect that's coming to me.

But I'm not allowed to come within 100 yards of my own house.

And because of my wife, my daughter, April, is afraid of me.

Afraid of her own father.

Hello, is this Derek White?

Yeah, who's this?

Never mind, you just told me what I need to know, thanks.

You gonna let her do this to you?

Missy?

Lucy, look, I'm really sorry, okay?

Come on, I didn't mean to hurt you.

Okay, I'm sorry.

Can you hear me?

Mr. Cleese, if something were to happen to you, I don't know what I would do.

Missy, please, if you can hear me, just tell me where you are.

Missy, just tell me where you are.

I'm over here.

Just keep talking so I can find you.

Keep going. I'm over here.

It could be anyone.

No, it's him.

Call the cop.

Ray, wait!

No, do it. Call the cop.

You think I'm sick?

Bad father, no feeling.

No love.

Let me tell you something.

I love my daughter. I never once laid a hand on her.

Ever.

Your father beat you, didn't he?

What my father did to me makes a beating sound.

You're playing me, aren't you?

Little psychological tricks.

You think you're in control.

you're going to tell me where to find April.

Don't look at her.

She's in a shelter.

Where?

Don't play games with me.

It's a shelter for children.

What's the name?

It doesn't have a name. It's just a shelter.

You're a liar.

Al.

You're going to tell me where to find April.

She's gonna die.

Know what you want?

She's gonna die.

Say goodbye to your new friend.

At Kate's.

Call her.

He tricked me.

We're getting out of here.

You did

this.

This is your fault.

Both gonna die tonight, aren't we? I didn't want this.

Ah, that's what's important, isn't it?

What you want and what you don't want.

That's what matters to you.

You talk about love.

You talk about vows. And the only vow you ever made was to yourself. I don't

care what you say to me anymore.

And I don't care what you do to me anymore. But I am telling you right now,

are staying away from April.

She's my daughter, Janet.

She's mine!

Nothing you can do can keep me away from her.

It's all right.

It's okay. I'm Ray Carson.

I called you from the crisis line. I want the paper. It's all right.

Where are they?

They're gone.

All of them?

Yeah.

Come on, come on, come on.

Women's crisis line.

It's Ray. Where are they? Getting Janet's daughter. She's with a woman

Kate.

I don't know. He found the line open and he cut it off.

Who's Kate?

I don't know.

I don't know.

You don't know?

You don't know? I don't know.

April?

He'll find us.

No, he won't. He will. I know he will.

The police are coming. Don't worry, sweetheart.

April?

Just running.

She's downstairs with the police.

You said that you would never, ever hurt her.

So don't...

She doesn't need me.

You're wrong.

You're all she has.

Like my father was to me.

He killed himself, too.

I found him in the garage where he hung himself.

And everyone told me that it was for the best.

That he was sick.

That I'd be better off.

But when he died, it took away the only family I had left.

And what he didn't know.

And what no one knew.

was that I needed him.

Even after all he had done, I still needed

my father.

open

This is my sister Kate.

And my daughter April.

Who are you?

I'm a friend of your mommy's. More than a friend.

Janet, I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Are you sure?

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, God.

Are you?

I feel like I aged ten years in one night. Other than that.

Hey, listen, Carrie.

Eleanor is on her way to the hospital.

A young girl that you counseled.

Named Missy.

I don't know yet.

They're working to stop the internal bleeding.

Can I go in?

I don't know what to say to you, Carrie.

I don't think I've ever been so angry with someone I think so highly of.

With all the people you helped save tonight, were you able to save yourself?

She's alive, but just barely a lot's gonna depend on her will to survive Can

see her?

Just for a moment

I spoke to you from the crisis line.

You're gonna be okay.

Carrie, remember, Missy's only 16, but she knew to call, call twice.

She was just too young, too naive to trust her own instincts.

We almost caught her. Maybe we'll catch the next one.

I'd like to come back to keep working the lines. As a reporter?

As a volunteer.

Let me think about it.

How about Friday night?
