Break Up Page #4

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.

that thing where...

he could make you... you think

that you've got more than you do.

Who are you talking about?

Your husband, honey.

He made me eggs

the way I like 'em.

Wh... When was he here, Mama?

Uh... yesterday?

- You're imagining things.

- Oh, no. He wanted the car.

Let's... Let's get your coat on, Mama.

Let's go.

Please, Mama,

we've got to find someplace where...

where Frankie can't find us, okay?

God will protect me.

No, He won't.

Mama, he tried to kill me.

Well,

that's none of my business.

[Shudders]

[Shouting, Screaming]

- [Gasps]

- I hear someone.

You know, he, uh,

he went to God's country.

Do you remember when I used to say

that we'd all be safe there?

It's just a loan.

I'll pay you back when I can.

I love you, Mama.

I love you too, honey.

She kept beating on her

way more than she needed to.

Do you think she was

strong enough to do that?

If she's angry enough, yeah.

Why do you think

she'd kill her sister?

L-I don't know.

Competition? Who knows?

The woman next door

said she had a boyfriend.

- Why don't you go talk to her?

- Why?

So that maybe we could find out

what happened here.

Our girl dinged this one.

[Police Radio, Indistinct]

[Camera Shutters Clicking]

[Engine Starts]

Bo.

[Whistles]

The name of the sister's

boyfriend?

Hit me.

Frank.

What a coincidence.

What do you think the odds are

that everybody found out...

who everybody else was poking

that night, huh, the night he died?

- Maybe.

- You still don't think she did it?

I think maybe.

[TV, Indistinct]

[Heart Beating]

[Heartbeat Accelerates]

I was scared.

I was... I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I was scared.

[Woman Screams]

Do you have...

Do you have a car?

[Crying Hysterically]

Hey.

- Can you help her?

- What happened?

Your dime.

Is Frank there?

Who is this?

Are you foolin' around on me?

Yep.

[Clicks Tongue, Inhales Deeply]

You've been bad, haven't you?

Hmm.

I think you have.

Is this a whirlwind romance,

or am I crazy?

You're crazy.

You didn't give me an answer.

About what?

You with me, or are you not with me?

[Laughs]

Well, you bet, sugar.

God.

Look at you.

- Go figure.

- Stop.

Honey, honey, look at me.

I'm with you...

now and forever.

Okay?

Oh, sir, my fire

is burning high

If we should stop, sir

I would die

[Moans]

Goose chase.

Yeah, I got it.

Okay. Thanks.

They found the mother's car

outside of Baker.

You ready to go?

We got a four-hour drive.

[Woman On P.A., Indistinct]

[Chattering, Indistinct]

[Country]

You got any favorites?

Excuse me, uh, princess.

You get in an accident

or somethin'?

Hello?

[Laughs Nervously]

- I'm sorry, what?

- You get in an accident or somethin'?
