Break Up Page #2

Synopsis: Jimmy is married to the abusive Frank, but she's building a nest egg so she can leave. For a year, she's been deaf as a result of one of his beatings. One night, he pushes her over the stairwell, and she ends up in the hospital. When a charred body in her husband's car is pulled from a pond, the cops want to talk to her, but she bolts for her sister's, loses her savings pass-book, and then learns someone has emptied her bank account. She's goes on the run, with the same cops on her trail, and eventually realizes Frank may not be dead. Getting back her money, facing Frank, satisfying the police, and finding her freedom may be more than she can handle.

whether it's inside or outside.

And it's... it's wet outside.

I lost my passbook.

Sh*t.

So, uh, you had a fight

with your husband, right?

Why are you here?

Mrs. Dade,

we have a body at the morgue.

We believe it may be your husband.

Did your husband drive...

a 1971 red Camaro,

license number...

Yes.

[Box] We found the car

at the bottom of a ravine.

It may take as long as a week

to make a positive identification.

[Muttering]

We need you to stay put

for a while.

[Thunder Rumbling]

You know what

you're gonna be looking at?

Either the name on the door is wrong

or there's no tag at all.

It's a f***ing wonder

we get anything done around here.

Here we go.

[Gasps, Moans]

Goddamn.

[Ramsey]

Why are these perps so stupid?

You tell her to stay put, she bolts.

She isn't a perp yet.

[Bell Dings]

Mrs. Dade,

you're gonna have to come with us.

We have to talk.

I'm gonna take her into room two.

All right.

Uh, I'm gonna call again

about the blood work.

Please have a seat.

Hey.

- Are you gonna book me?

- No.

Right now, I just want

to ask you some questions.

It's...

It's kind of

uncomfortable to-to...

I used to talk all the time.

Have you... Have you ever

lost someone close to you?

- No.

- It's wild.

It's...

[Sighs]

It's...

I, uh,

I sh... I sh...

I shouldn't have lied to you.

What did you lie to me about?

He hit me and,

and pushed me down the stairs.

And, and, and, uh, that's...

that's all.

L-I, um... I don't really...

l-l-I don't know.

Do you want a lawyer?

- A what?

- A lawyer.

Why?

Uh, do you need

an interpreter here?

- Because we can get you one.

- No.

John, lets talk.

The blood sample

is hers and his.

A.D.A.'s on his way up.

- We don't have enough.

- Hey, we've got motive.

We've got a 9-1-1.

- [No Audible Dialogue]

- [Jimmy Breathing Heavily]

Look at her.

You think she's gonna wait around for us

to come up with some more evidence?

I don't.

We'll hold her

until we get the A.D.A.

- You said you weren't gonna book me.

- I know.

I have to pee.

[Door Opens]

I need a tampon.

Uh, the...

- Uh, there's none in there?

- No.

[Ramsey Sighs]

All right.

Uh, I got one.

She can't hear you.

[Footsteps Approaching]

Oh, hey, excuse me.

Will you do me a...

Do me a favor. Will you give this

to, uh, to a woman in there?

Sure.

[Door Closes]

- [Door Opens]

- There wasn't anyone else in there.

[Bell Dings]

You going down?

[Bell Dings]

Come on.

Oh, sh*t!

Get over there.

You have the right

to an attorney.

If you cannot afford one,

one will be provided for you.

Goddamn it!

I don't have my f***ing handcuffs.

[Elevator Bell Dings]

Don't run.

[Man]

Hey.

[Jimmy]
