Fay Grim Page #2

about your husband.

When will this end?

How long are you going to harass me!

I have no idea where my husband is!

I'm single. Sort of.

Yeah, we know. But the case

is still open and new evidence has arisen.

Evidence of what?

Fay, where were you...

...when Henry boarded that plane for Sweden?

At home, I didn't go to the airport.

Only my brother Simon was with him.

We went over all this during the trial.

But Simon didn't actually see him board

the plane. Did he?

Your brother last saw Henry at the departure

gate, having by already then...

...successfully forged documents permitting him

to leave the country under a false identity.

Well, yeah. But so what?

Well so, maybe he never got on the plane.

Why wouldn't he have gotten on the plane?

He was in trouble. He was running away.

That was the whole point.

Last minute pangs of conscience?

Conscience? Henry? Please.

He may have suddenly felt full force

the love that he had for you, his son...

...his friends, the community.

Easy, Carl.

Henry would have gotten on that plane.

And, anyway, if you ask me,

its what he should have done.

Fay, he killed a man.

It was an accident.

He was defending himself.

The man he killed was gross.

Do you really have so little faith in society?

I mean... why are you so certain

Henry wouldn't have been exonerated?

Carl, that's enough. Fay, look.

It appears that Henry boarded

the plane posing as your brother Simon.

But he didn't get off the plane in Stockholm.

Which makes us think that

he had an accomplice at the airport.

You mean, besides Simon?

Does the name Konchalovsky

mean anything to you?

- No.

- Bebe.

Bebe Konchalovsky.

We understand that Henry kept a diary,

some kind of a journal, many volumes.

What he referred to as his Confessions.

Yeah so?

Did you ever read this book?

These Confessions?

A little. Once. By accident.

Could you tell us about what you've read?

I'd rather not.

Was it treasonous?

Did it seem to discuss subjects potentially dangerous

to the security of the United States of America?

I just read the dirty parts.

The dirty parts?

You get that, Carl?

Got it.

What are you saying,

that Henry was some sort of a spy?

Or worse...

Look, Fay...

What?

Fay, Henry's dead.

Ma, you okay?

Yeah.

Did you eat?

I'll make something.

What time is it? Where have you been?

It's 7:
30.

I was at the library. Didn't they call you?

Who?

The school.

I had my cell phone turned off.

Why? What happened now?

I've been expelled.

Ma?

Ma? You okay?

Go eat.

Don't do anything... drastic.

Like what... drown myself because

you've been expelled from school?

Go away and leave me alone!

Conceited little monster.

Then after all that the school calls
