Me either.

Think. Use your head.

There's got to be a way

to track him down.

- Small Frye School. Front office.

- Hello, this is Angela Green.

- Angie, it's Jennifer.

- It's nice to hear your voice.

I haven't got a severance cheque

in a while.

Do you have my correct address

and phone number?

- I'll check. Can you hold on a sec?

- Yes, of course. Thank you.

Yeah, I have itrighthere.

Tell me ifthis is right.

3321 Mason Street,

San Francisco 94105.

The phone numberis 415...

- Hello?

- Angie?

- Libby, I've tried to call you.

- Is Matty okay? Where is he?

- Everything is fine.

- Why are you in San Francisco?

- Puthim on the phone.

- Why are you acting this way?

You disappeared!

I haven't seen my son in a month!

- I was just about to call you.

- Bullshit!

- How can you move and not tell me?

- We were coming next week.

Just put Matty on the phone.

Matty, it's Mommy. Come say hi.

- Hi, Mommy.

- Hello, sweetie-pie.

How are you, Matty?

I think about you all the time. I miss

you so much. Are you doing okay?

I love you.

I know this has been really hard,

but Angie's going to bring you

up to see me next week.

Yes, Mommy...

Daddy!

Nick?

He was in San Francisco last night.

The number is already disconnected.

No, I don't have

a forwarding address. He's gone.

Don't you have investigators? Doesn't

your company want its two million?

Why aren't you listening to me?

I am innocent.

Put some elbow grease into it.

No one wants burnt tapioca.

- Does it smell like it's burning?

- You got sh*t for brains, girl.

You're in prison.

Do you get that?

So you can forget about re-opening

your case, or a jailhouse appeal.

They take years,

and they're 95% unsuccessful.

So if you want my advice, and you're

gonna get it, you do your time.

What are you now, a lawyer?

Once upon a time.

But they tend to disbar murderers.

Here's your Christmas present...

Pay attention, this is the best advice

you're ever gonna get.

You ever hear of something called

double jeopardy?

It provides that no person may be

tried for the same crime twice.

They say you killed your husband.

They can't convict you a second time.

When you leave, track him down.

When you find him, you can kill him.

You can walk right up to him, put

a gun to his head and pull the trigger.

And there's nothing

anybody can do about it.

Makes you feel

warm and tingly all over, don't it?

That's right, keep stirring.

I got to hand it to you, honey,

it's sheer hate driving you on.

The only way you'll look like that

is if I staple the picture to your head.

Mattys eighth birthday, honey.

I read that even if a child is

separated from its mother at birth,

it never forgets her voice.
