It's 445 on your Tuesday.

Most of the city is still waking up. And if you're just tuning in, I need you to

listen closely.

We're following breaking news this morning after four inmates escaped from

the Franklin County Jail late Sunday night.

According to investigators, the inmates worked together to exploit a routine

transfer window inside the facility.

During the breakout, a guard was stabbed and is currently in intensive care.

That officer is fighting for his life this morning.

Two of the escapees were found hiding in an abandoned auto repair shop after

three days on the run.

That leaves two still out there.

One of those men has been identified as Michael Anderson.

I'm up. I'm getting up. No, I got it. I got it.

I want to sleep last night.

You sure you don't want to stay?

Ta-da.

You just scared the crap out of me. I am so gonna get you.

I hope so.

You're so persistent.

Can you blame me?

I almost like being married to you.

Look at you. You're glistening.

See, that's what happens when you scare me into breaking up the whole house. I

know.

Mom!

Mom!

You know what, bud?

Let's see if you can find your own clothes today, huh?

The two escapees were apprehended late last night after hiding out in an

abandoned auto repair shop for the past three days.

The group of four inmates escaped from Franklin County Jail on Sunday.

The escape left one prison guard fighting for his life in intensive care

after receiving a knife wound.

Okay, can we focus on homework? We've got to leave in ten.

Mom, this is so stupid. School ends in three days.

Yeah, I know that, but then after Christmas, you've only got another

semester before high school, and that is a big deal.

And you have to know basic algebra if you want to get into Paquette.

If I want to go to college at all.

What? Everyone knows college is overrated.

Dad's going to go to college and he makes bank.

If I had, I wouldn't have had to apprentice all those years. And then I'd

be making even more bank.

Life is more than just money, right, honey?

That's right. I know that math is challenging, but algebra is more like

it's like a puzzle.

Puzzles can be fun, right?

Here.

Think of it like this.

It's like a weight scale, and you have to keep it even on both sides.

Otherwise, what happens?

It topples over, right?

So if this side over here is 27 times 7, then what do you got?

Okay, let me try. Yeah.

Good.

You're going to go to college, buddy. Yes.

Beautiful. One more thing.

My business would have never gotten off the ground if your mother wasn't running

the books back then.

Trust me, pal.

All the important stuff ends in your mom's shoulders first.

Thank you, honey.

Thank you.

Okay, have a great day. Here you go. Oh, I'll be, thank you, home a little late

this week, like 8 o'clock. Let me know if you need me to pick up the food. No,

no, it's okay. I got it.

Love you.

Love you, buddy.

Okay, come on, pack up. We gotta go.

Okay, you got it?

Yeah, a new ID.

A good one.

Yeah, that's fine. That'll work. But I need a clean ride, too. I need something

that's fast, okay?

How much money are we talking?

Mom, I'm going over to the cinch to talk to you.

Homework first. We're not doing it at the breakfast table again.

So, I was thinking... Yeah, hon?

Mr. Corelli, now might be a great time for us to review our urine taxes.

Oh.

Great time.

You don't want to get an audit, do you?

No, I don't want to get an audit. Oh, gosh.

Those naughty IRS guys.

So, Miss Corelli. Yes? Would you like a standard deduction?

Or would you prefer me to go item by item?

Itemized, for sure.

Mom? Yeah?

I'm gonna bike over to Tim's.

Okay. Bike's gonna need air.

Mom, where's the pump?

Uh, it's in the cabinet on the left.

Bennett!

You okay?

Hey, what happened?

I ate this stupid bike.

Oh, no. Uh...

Do you want me to get you a band-aid?

I'm fine, Mom.

Be home by dinner, all right? Yep.

Don't move.

Where's your kid going?

Hey, answer me.

When's he coming back?

You scared now?

Of course you are.

I'm gonna ask you a few questions, alright?

You just nod your head yes, or you wag your head no, you got that?

You have any idea who I am?

Then you know I have nothing to lose, so don't mess with me again.

Is there a safe in the house?

Purse? Yeah.

I know.

I got that already.

Is this all the cash that you have in the house?

Huh?

I can't fence jewelry right now. What's the, uh, what's the ATM card limit on

this? Huh?

How much? Five hundred per day.

Five hundred.

Does your husband keep cash on him?

We have a checking account.

There's thousands of dollars in it. We could just go to the bank.

Please.

What time does John get home?

He's coming with a bunch of his friends from work.

We should leave right now.

John's working late this week. Do you remember that? He's home around 8.

You want to start screwing me again?

No. Huh?

No.

Good.

Who is that?

It's the mailman. Why is the mailman ringing the doorbell? He just, he does

that all the time. He's just being nice.

He'll go away.

You you just remember I am always a step ahead

Mom

Mom

you

down there

Baby, close up.

Don't open up. Don't open up. Please, he didn't see anything.

They didn't see you.

Please, just let them go. They didn't see anything.

Did you see my face?

No, sir.

Just let them go. They didn't see anything.

What color skin do I have?

What color skin do I have?

White.

Beard?

I don't know. Short hair or cropped? I don't know. Short hair or cropped? I

don't know. Quick, quick, quick!

I don't know.

They're innocent. Just let them go.

Shut up!

No!

You have a really smart mom, you know that?

What? Are you stupid? Are you dumb? Can you not hear me? I said you have a

really smart mom.

Yes, sir, she is. Yes, sir, she is.

Now move.

Move! Keep your eyes closed, baby.

Face the wall. Hands behind your back.

Warren, you watch them closely, get me? They got a piss, they can do it in their

pants. Eyes closed.

Don't let them see your face.

They didn't see anything.

You just can let them go. You think you're really smart, huh?

Let me ask you something.

Can you count?

I said count!

That's right. That's more than enough for you, for Bennett, for his little

friend Tim, and for John when he gets home.

Do you get me?

Yeah.

So if you try to fight me again, or you try to run off, or you try to call the

cops, I'm gonna know. Oh.

Hmm? Okay.

I can't hear you. I won't fight.

I won't fight you.

I won't fight, I promise.

I won't fight.

Good.

I'm hungry.

How do you like your steak?

What do you mean?

How do you like it cooked?

Rare?

Medium?

I've never been asked that before.

What's the fanciest way?

Rare.

Medium. And how do you eat them?

Rare.

Do it like that, then.

And make two plates.

Two? How many inmates escaped out of Franklin County?

Four.

And how many got caught?

Two.

Ding, ding, ding, ding.

I knew you was good at math.

My cellmate's down there with your boy and his little friend.

And Warren, he's an animal.

He got locked up for rape and homicide. He doesn't care if his steak is rare or

medium rare or whatever.

Played it.

Come here.

Go against that wall.

Over there.

Turn around. Back to me.

Close your eyes.

Tight.

You move one inch.

One inch, I blow away your kid. You get me?

Now count to 15.

Slow and loud. Loud enough I can hear you.

Go.

Two. Three.

Four.

Five.

Six. The last I gotta explain is she screws with us.

Kill her. I don't care if they're kids, kill them both.

Seven. Eight.

Nine.

Ten.

Eleven.

Twelve.

Thirteen. Yeah, yeah, you're good. Now get back in the kitchen.

Get back in the kitchen. It's my turn now.

My plate.

Time for my plate.

What about the neighbor kid's parents? How long until they come looking for

him?

He eats here pretty often.

So not for another probably... two or three hours.

Rare, huh?

It means there's still blood in it.

I think I like it rare, too.

I like it just fine.

Mm.

I like that little move you did downstairs, too.

Telling your kid to close his eyes.

That was smart.

That made it better for both of us, because... I mean, I'll kill if I have

to, but it's better for everybody if I'm not put in that position, you get me?

And you... I bet you really love him, huh?

I bet you'd die for him if you were put in that position.

Yeah, I had to, yes.

Yeah, I figured.

Just be nice.

Sit down, please. Sit down.

You're making me nervous.

You want some?

No.

What are you doing? What's going on?

Sorry, I just feel, like, woozy.

Come on, get up. Get up.

Let's go.

Hey, Han.

Great news.

You wrapped early today.

You wouldn't believe it. The tile from the upstairs bathroom came in today.

Burgers just about lost their mind.

Shut down work for about an hour waiting for the interior designer to come.

That's not smart.

I'm so sorry, baby. I'm so sorry.

Good boy.

That's a good boy, ain't it?

See why you married him.

Wrap his wrists tight.

More!

Tape his mouth.

Okay, okay, okay.

All right, all right, all right, that's enough.

Let's go, let's go.

Good luck.

All right, grab his wallet.

Same ATM card limit?

Yeah. Bennett said John made bank.

Are you lying to me?

No, no, no.

No?

You wouldn't, would you?

Take his keys, please.

You can tie me up, and then you can drive away. You can just go anywhere you

want.

Please. Nobody has to get hurt.

Just take his keys, okay?

Get up.

Get up. Get up.

Hmm.

All teams in position.

Stand down. Stand down. Just keep playing. Stand down.

John. John, wait.

Friendly incoming.

Friendly incoming.

Dad?

Are you hurt? Are you okay?

Who's mom?

Where's Martha?

Where's Martha?

I couldn't see them, but I heard them.

We took her dead. We took her.

That's good.

Just keep driving.

Look at that, huh?

Open road.

And my own personal chauffeur.

What about my family?

What? What about my family?

Which one you want to talk about?

Your coward husband?

Or your son?

Because I'm thinking, Warren has a knife to little Bennett's throat right this

second.

Please.

Please just don't let him hurt him.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Warren's an animal.

But he's my dog, okay?

So he's not going to kill your kid unless I tell him to.

So you just be good.

You be good.

And you don't make me make that call.

You understand?

Breaking out of Franklin County, not one in a million could pull that off.

How'd you do it?

It's the only good thing about prison. You got plenty of time for thinking and

planning. If you have the mind for it, though.

Left up here.

If you know what I'm asking, how did you even end up in prison?

You know... If you would spend one night outside of your little

suburban bubble of roses and rainbows, you wouldn't even have to ask me that.

Do you even know what foster care is? Have you ever heard of the system?

Yeah, sure. Yeah, well, once you're in it...

You're screwed.

I bounced around from home to home to home to home and the people who are

raising you in those houses are bigger monsters than the ones in prison.

And so you learn to take care of yourself really fast if they don't break

you first.

You just gotta be tough.

if you do make it out there's not many prospects after you know what i mean

like i had a record before i had a driver's license actually i never got my

driver's license so it's a good thing that you're driving huh yeah

yeah uh i knocked over some stores and i

had this one scheme right robbing these hotel tourists

I hadn't learned how to use this yet.

So here I am, looking at a 20-year stretch. I'm not even old enough to go

to college.

Not like I was heading there anyway.

Not like your boy.

He seems smart.

Smart enough and... Thank you.

You probably already know this, but I'm... I'm Martha Corelli.

Michael Anderson.

I know what you're doing. I know what you're doing. What am I doing? I'm

trying to connect with you, so it's harder for me to follow you.

No, what?

Is that what you want to do? You want to kill me?

Maybe.

But right now, I need a driver, all right?

I can't have somebody's grandma spotting me at a crosswalk, so you just keep on

driving.

And you remember, and you drive straight.

Because one call to my Sally Warren, and your kid is dead.

You understand?

Now get on.

Instead, John, I need you to think.

Did Martha say anything else about the companion?

No. Even the smallest detail? I'm telling you, that's all she said.

She said the other one was in the garage.

She said good luck.

And that she loved me.

You've got every cop in the state working to find Martha.

And this hasn't been released yet.

The innocent cellmate, Warren Dunn, was caught earlier today.

So he couldn't have been at your house You

out

here come on

Screw this on there.

It should buy us some time.

Time for what?

You see my face.

I have to kill you now.

You should see your face.

Your face.

I don't think you want to kill anyone.

Oh yeah?

I think...

You've just been pushed around by the world.

And now that's what you want to do.

Push people around.

You think you know me?

I know a kid when I see one.

And you're just a kid with a gun.

I'm just a kid.

I'm just a kid with a gun.

I left some things out of my story earlier.

Those armed robberies at the hotel.

They were all women.

And I didn't just rob them.

That's how you like it, right?

Doing your taxes.

If you want to shoot me, then shoot.

But you will not violate me.

I think maybe you belong in jail. You are a crazy bitch.

Relax. It's a joke.

You are not my type, Mama.

I like him a lot younger.

Enough screwing around.

We got work to do.

Get in.

Get out. Get out. Get out. Come on. Let's go. Okay.

Okay.

Get in here. Go ahead. Get in the car. Okay.

Get in.

Please don't hurt me.

Don't hurt me.

Drive. Hey.

Drive.

Dad, I don't like pepperoni.

Oh.

Sorry, bud.

Um... Can I order you some Chinese food?

Okay.

Detective!

17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25,

26,

27, 28, 29, 30.

Doug? Is that your name, Doug? Yeah.

I'm Martha.

You're going to be okay.

Shut up. Shut up. I'm losing count. I'm counting back here. Putting another

person in danger is not going to help you.

You know what, Martha? Maybe you're right.

You know what? I think you're right. I think sometimes we hurt people and we

don't realize it until later.

But that doesn't make us a monster.

Or does it? Huh?

Huh?

Oh, I'm sorry. Should I tell him that I'm sorry, Martha?

Should I tell him I'm sorry?

Come on, relax, huh?

Relax.

We just made five grand.

At least I did, and you survived. That ain't nothing.

Michael, you should let him go.

Doug doesn't know anything.

Oh, whoa, whoa.

Are you gonna let her talk to you like that, Dougie?

Hey, hey.

Tell her.

Tell her, say, you said, I have a little bit of smarts. I got some smarts.

Tell him, Dougie.

Come on, tell her.

I bet you already figured out who I am, huh? I bet you figured out I'm the guy

from the news, the escaped convict. No, he's gonna be okay. No, she doesn't know

that, Doug.

She doesn't know that. She can't promise you anything, okay?

It might be okay. It might not be okay. You just drive west to the interstate.

Wait, wait, no.

No, no, no, no. Go to a gas station.

Tank's low.

We need a full tank to get to where we're headed.

Now, that Atlanta number you found, it was to a man named Tyson Baker.

He was at Franklin County with Anderson, but he was released six months ago.

Okay.

That's a good bet that Anderson is trying to meet up with him to get a new

identification. Did you pick him up? No, not yet. We've got units sitting on his

place.

If Anderson shows up, we got him.

6060, I'm pump two out there.

Get in.

He's going to kill us.

What's so funny?

I was an EMT before this. It changed careers to avoid high-stress situations.

How hard did he hit you?

I went unconscious.

How long?

Your pupils are dilated and uneven. You almost certainly have a concussion.

That headache?

Yeah, like a train hit me.

We need to get you to a hospital.

Getting awful friendly in here.

Get out.

Thinning machines, snacks.

Lots of them.

And you remember, one wrong move and your new buddy here goes bye-bye, okay?

Martha?

Martha Corelli? Oh my gosh, it is you!

It's Nancy!

From Professor Chen's lit class!

It's been years!

Delta iota forever!

Nancy, of course, hi, um... I'm

sorry, I, uh...

you might want to stay back i've got a bit of rsv and my little boy gave it to

me oh geez mine had that last year but we should meet up sometime

i would love to yeah yeah i did you know just uh

call me i'm at the same number and we can make a plan okay yeah delta iota

forever

You're a half-decent liar.

For a housewife.

Delta Iota. What is that?

It's just a reason to get drunk.

What do you think, Dougie?

Huh? You think Martha here was getting drunk and wild in college?

I don't... I'm not... Just shut up!

That running could have got a lot of people killed.

So maybe, uh, housewife, Delta Iota, college grad here was right earlier.

There's some risk in keeping two hostages when, uh, when one will do just

fine.

What do you think, Marcia? You think we should pop Dougie here and leave him on

the side of the road?

Huh?

Or should I shoot you for trying to send a message to your friend?

Same number, call me.

This is just something that people say.

Do you think that I'm stupid, Martha?

I haven't seen Nancy in six years.

She's never gonna call.

Are you sure about that? No, I was being polite. If I hadn't have been, she'd

have been suspicious.

And you know what, Michael, I get it. People aren't like that in prison, but

out here in the civilized world, people actually are nice.

Bang!

Come on, what are you... You think I'm gonna shoot you going 60 on the highway?

I thought you went to college.

Lighten up, huh?

You live in the civilized world, right?

Hello?

This is John.

Nancy?

Yeah, Delta Iota. Sure, I remember.

No, we're not sick.

Wait.

What? You saw Martha?

Today? Where?

Where did you see Martha?

Back there.

Walk right there.

So, Doctor, she's concussed. What does that mean?

She's got fluid built up in her brain.

Dizziness, blurry vision.

Sensitivity to light, slowed reaction times.

I said I was fine.

Well, can she drive or not?

She shouldn't be driving.

It sounds like she's not very useful to me, then.

That's not what I meant. It is, isn't it, though?

Get out.

Get out.

License plate on the back.

I want you to switch it with this.

And if you try to run or call out for help... I'm gonna shoot

Martha in the head.

Okay?

Well, what do you think? Are you still useful to me or what?

I never said I couldn't drive.

That settles it.

I'll have to shoot Doug, then.

What?

You're right. I don't need two hostages.

And you and me... You and me, Martha, we've been through more, so... So,

if you're fine to drive, then I think...

Don't kill him or anybody else. I'm not driving you anywhere.

Are you good with that?

I said, are you good? Shut up.

You live a sheltered life, Martha, in that nice house with your nice family

and your bank accounts and your steak dinners.

You see, the real world doesn't treat you like that.

See Doug there?

You were willing to die to save his life. Do you think even for a second

that he would do the same thing for you?

Doug, get out and switch with Martha.

You're driving now.

How you feeling?

We can take a ride up here.

Thanks, partner.

Michael. Hmm?

Why me?

Why'd you choose my house?

Your garage door was open.

Nothing more to it.

How about you two yuppies have been to Atlanta?

Not me.

I got arraigned in Macon one time, but that's about as far as I got.

I always wanted to go on a vacation.

Anywhere, really, but Atlanta would work.

Hello?

Is it nice or what?

Uh, yeah, sure.

Useless, as usual. Thank you, Doug.

Martha, what do you think?

it's pretty yeah yeah but not

in the usual way atlanta's more resurrected

i mean you can tell it has history you just have to look

close the whole place was burned down in the civil war so

sort of old

Sort of new, all at the same time.

Sprawling in every direction with streets that just... They just

go on forever.

Sounds nice.

Yeah.

Turn right here!

What? Turn right here!

That's your school, right, Martha?

The one that you want to send your kid to?

We got time for one vacation, huh?

I don't see what all the hype's about.

What are we doing here, Michael?

We are taking my vacation.

I think the universe owes me one.

Whoa, hey, hey, hey.

Let me help you.

Let me help.

Less suspicious this way.

Well, come on.

Give me the tour.

You went to school here, so tell me about it.

But tell me about it as if you were telling Bennett instead of me here.

There were a lot of big classes. There were more than 100 people sitting in one

lecture hall.

I preferred the ones that were smaller.

You could actually talk, you know, and ask questions about what we were

learning.

That's the football stadium over there.

So in the fall, this whole place would be packed with people.

Hot dog stands and balloons and fireworks.

Every Saturday, just absolutely full for games.

And then over there, that's the library.

I would spend so many hours in there holed up for exams.

Seems nice.

What are you studying here?

Accounting.

There's a minor in literature.

Not that I use it much anymore now. I'm just a homemaker.

And who knows?

Maybe when this is all over, and it goes off to college, maybe I'll go back to

work.

Hey. Martha?

Get up. Do something.

Get up. Get up.

Too much partying.

Their pulse is really low.

She may even have a fracture. I'm sorry.

Walk.

I'm sorry.

She needs to go to a hospital. We're not going to a hospital. If she doesn't get

real medical attention soon, she will die.

It's okay.

Just drive.

Please.

Drive.

Come on.

Okay, Michael.

Where's your notes?

Georgia Georgia The

whole day through

just an old sweet song keeps georgia on my mind

You want to know something I learned in prison, Martha?

What?

Everybody's got an angle.

Everybody's trying to work some sort of game. That's the only way you survive.

Not everybody.

Even you.

With your perfect little life and your college degree.

Trying to act all tragic and noble at the same time. She's not acting. I said,

shut up.

I want you to tell me something, Martha.

I want you to tell me something that's real.

Something that you regret.

I regret.

Not being there in the morning when Bennett wakes up.

Where are we going Michael? Don't worry about it.

Everybody get out.

You should run.

You can make it.

Go stand over there.

Promise me you'll find my family and you'll tell them that I love them.

I just can't.

You guys want to know how I

broke out of prison?

First part was timing the guard's schedule.

They try to mix it up, you know, so we can't predict them.

And it took me a while.

I figured it out.

My favorite part was convincing those three other guys to do it with me.

I didn't need their help, you know?

But I knew that escaping with three other inmates and then separating from

them, that would confuse the police and that would give me enough time to get

away.

Do you know how hard that is?

To inspire three grown men to risk it all like that?

Even fooled you.

That cellmate that I said was in your house watching your kid, he was never

even there.

I just knew that you'd do as I said if you thought your kid was in danger.

Do you know what the hardest part was?

It was coming face to face with that prison guard by the elevator.

I knew he was gonna be there.

I knew I had to take care of him.

But you do what you have to do.

And that's how you survive.

Even if that means killing the other guy.

Now turn around.

Jesus.

Turn around.

He's alive.

You know, the guard.

He's in intensive care, but he's still alive.

It's true.

I said turn around.

No.

No, Michael.

You don't have a choice. Yes, I do.

I can't imagine what your life has been like, and I have no right to judge you,

but I will not turn my back on you.

You think your life is over, but it's not.

It is way too late for that, Martha.

If you kill us, that's it.

You're always going to be a murderer.

A monster.

It's just that easy, huh?

It's just that easy. I just flip a switch.

Suddenly, I'm a nice guy.

All I gotta do is let you two go.

Nothing is easy.

There's adversity everywhere in life. Oh, my God. Yeah, yeah. I've heard that.

I have heard that so many times.

I mean, do you really think if I let you live, everything just finally starts

turning out great for me?

I don't know.

I really don't know.

But there's one thing that I know for absolute certain.

If you kill us, your plan won't work.

You're gonna get caught.

What do you mean?

Michael, you've been in prison since you were 14. Where did you learn to buy a

plane ticket? Television?

You understand prison routine, but you're not there anymore. This is the

civilized world, remember?

There are different rules, new technology.

You show up with a wad of cash and a fake ID?

And you ask for a plane ticket, they're gonna laugh you straight back to your

cell for the rest of your life.

You need to take a train.

The trains still take cash.

And you need me to buy you the ticket.

They check ID at the ticket booth, but they don't recheck when you get ticketed

on board.

Okay.

I like that.

What do I need you for, then?

To remind you that you're not evil.

No, I don't know.

What? No.

No.

It's almost three in the morning.

You can get a couple of hours of sleep.

I can wash your clothes, you take a shower.

You gotta be presentable if you want to go out in the real world, okay?

Just wait here. I'll go and get us. No, no.

Not with that cut on your forehead.

You do it.

You do it. Come on. Let's go, okay? And look, remember, if you do something

stupid, you won't be able to talk me down twice, okay?

My God.

Need a room to bet If he screws me he screws you

Review if you want to pay extra I

need you to listen to me very carefully I've been kidnapped Keep smiling good.

Just like we're talking about

You call the police and tell them what I told you.

Make this agree. Give me some change. Sure.

Sure. And tell the police he's got a scanner. He's listening to them. You got

it?

All right, Martha.

Time to make good on your promise.

My clothes need washing.

I have to look respectable.

There's probably a laundry down the hallway.

Ah, sink will do just fine.

What?

Is there something you want to say?

I already said it.

What she needs is to wash my clothes, and then we can all get some rest, okay?

Big day tomorrow.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm just gonna check on her.

Yeah, I'm gonna be there tomorrow.

Who do you think he's talking to?

It doesn't matter.

We just have to hang on a little longer.

I have five grand, all right?

I'm taking a train.

I'm telling you, I'm not... I'm not going to... I'm adapting.

I don't think I'm gonna make it, Doug.

Yes, you will.

Helm's coming.

Hey, that's enough. All right, get out here.

Come on.

Tie him up.

In that chair.

Tight.

Yep. It's nothing that I can't take care of.

I need you to trust me, okay? I'm taking care of it. I'm telling you. He wouldn't

talk in front of us. It's fine. I have it. I have the money. I just need you

to... He's still planning to kill us.

Just meet me at the station.

Okay?

Still alive

It's

funny how memories and dreams get jumbled up around this time of night You

know, I barely remember my mom I do remember one thing

She used to draw animals on my bare back to put me to sleep.

She must have been an artist because I could always tell exactly what she was

drawing.

Tiger.

Elephant.

Giraffe.

You ever do that kind of thing with your kid?

Something like that.

I remember how her nails felt on my skin, you know? It was like, it like, it

was tingly, and then it would get cold, and then I would just...

I would just fall asleep.

I must have been like four or five years old.

It's a beautiful memory.

Yeah, maybe it was a dream, too. I don't really know. It's been a long time, so I

don't know which was which anymore.

Either way, she left me in a world of hurt, and I had to go through it all on

my own, so... Options are a luxury where I'm coming

from.

Where I'm coming from, we don't really get many of those.

You sure about that?

I should have known you wouldn't understand.

I understand more than you know.

I just don't agree.

You always have a choice.

Choices make you who you are.

Not what happened to you.

Not what someone did to you.

Not the mistakes that you made.

And the world doesn't dictate who you are.

Only you can do that.

Get some sleep.

What did you do? What did you do? What did you do? It's the cops.

See,

it's nothing.

No,

it's too quiet.

This is a trucker hotel.

The driver's getting an early start. I can't go back, Martha. I don't have a

choice. Michael.

Michael, you do have a choice.

If they come in here, you're going first.

Michael.

Michael, you do.

You have a choice.

We don't know what's out there. It could be scary. It could not.

But you have a choice.

I could have killed you.

I could have done it at any point, you know that, right?

I'm hungry.

Are you guys hungry?

I think I'm gonna get a snack from the vending machine.

Morning.

Hey, good morning.

Coffee's ready.

I'm sorry. No, no, no.

It's okay.

I forgot to put it... away.

I'm going to stay home for work today.

No. Yes. No, no, please don't.

We're safe.

I know that.

It's just... It's gonna take a little bit of time, okay?

This is our home.

This is our life.

And I'm not gonna let him take any more away from us than he already has.

Love you.

Call us at lunch.
