Breaking the Girls Page #3

about what Brooke did.

I just came by to see if you're okay.

If you need anything.

Are you sure Brooke would

be okay with that?

Assuming she knows

about the other night.

Well, she probably wouldn't be

if she was still my girlfriend, but...

we broke up.

You guys broke up?

'Cause of me?

There were a lot of factors.

Am I interrupting something?

C'mon, let's go.

I parked in the red.

- See you later?

- Yeah.

So I guess you like boys now, huh?

Looks like he's all yours.

Poor Brooke. It isn't easy being

the one that's left out.

I'm not leaving you out, Alex.

I'm moving in with you.

I'm not talking about me, Sara.

Watch your back around that chick.

If she catches you with Eric, you'll

see a real f***ing psycho come out.

- Okay, enough.

- You're coming with us.

Okay, I'm coming.

Save me a seat. I wanna

swim just a little bit longer.

Hello?

I'm still swimming here.

Hello?

Sara, wake up.

Come talk to me.

I've got great news.

Hey, what's going on?

- What happened to your arm?

- I have a present for you.

You look surprised,

but don't worry.

No one saw a thing.

It was very quick.

She didn't struggle much.

It was easier than

I thought it'd be actually.

Well, don't play innocent. We planned

this together, or did you forget?

Where are you going, Sara?

I'm going to call the police,

that's where I'm going.

You can't do that.

You'd be arrested for murder.

- Me?

- Yeah.

I mean, why would I

kill Brooke Potter, huh?

A woman that I've met twice,

and have no relationship with.

You're the one who benefits, Sara.

Didn't you have a very public

fight with Brooke recently?

Not to mention your

history of stealing. I mean...

your thumb print is on her necklace.

You look tired, Sara.

It's been a very strenuous evening.

But listen, I can tell you when Nina

is gonna be at the house alone.

I have a plan.

You can't make me do that.

I'm not doing that.

But you have to.

- It's your turn.

- You f***ing psycho.

Have you seen your boots recently?

Because the police might be calling,

and asking about some muddy footprints.

I know it's early.

I'm sorry to bother you, but

Do you know a Sara Ryan?

I'm Sara Ryan.

What's this about?

I'm Detective Ross. I'm investigating

a murder that happened last night.

One sec.

- Come in.

- Thank you.

Do you have any idea why somebody

would want to kill Brooke Potter?

No, not really.

I spoke to Brooke's

friend Paula earlier...

and she claims that you were interested

in Brooke's boyfriend, Eric Nolan.

Was that a question?

Look, Sara,

I'm not out to get you here,

I just think you need

to know what's being said.

I was never pursuing Eric.

Paula says you publicly threatened

Brooke a few days before she was killed.

Now if that was true. You need to go

ahead, and talk to me about it now.

Yeah, we had an argument,

but I mean...

Am I a suspect?

Where were you last night

around nine thirty?

I was here.

In bed.

We both were. I'm Alex, her roommate.

I got here at seven.

And Sara had made dinner for me.

It was so cute.

There were candles everywhere.

We stayed up talking for

a couple more hours,

and then I convinced

her to go to bed.

So, it's just the two of you.

You didn't see anyone else all evening?

No, it was just us.

Would I you mind if I spoke

to Sara alone, please?

Sure.

I think you know that I'm not

a bullshit type of woman.

I'm gonna give you one

more opportunity.

There's nobody here,

but you and me,

You got something else to tell me?

I was here.

I don't know what else

you're looking for.

I got that when I was working

undercover with the Lady Avengers.

A motorcycle gang.

Now, those were some tough women.

If you think of anything else

you give me a call, okay?

Good muffin.

See you soon, Sara.

You're crazy.

I'm moving out.

Fine, abandon the one person

who's protecting you.

I do everything for you,

you know?

I'm just waiting for you

to do something for me.

A warm, bright and kind person.

She was incredibly loyal.

A friend was a friend for life.

That's a clich I suppose,

but in Brooke's case

it was undeniable.

She had the smile that would melt

the days stress right out of you.

- Excuse me.

- I was grateful to get to know her well.

Her interest in justice

didn't end when class was over.

She would grill me about old cases of

mine, when she was over for dinners.

There is no doubt in my mind,

That Brooke would have made

an excellent attorney.

Losing her is not only

a personal tragedy,

but a loss to the

entire legal community.

It's not your fault.

She will be missed.

Thank you.

I should go talk to her brother.

Just so you know, my family is here

for you. Whatever you need.

- Thank you, Alex. I appreciate that.

- She really was a very special girl.

Sara, I've heard what was going on, and I

want you to know you have my full support.

It goes without saying,

but I'm gonna say it anyway

- I know you didn't do this.

- Thank you.

It was very brave of you

to come here today.

Thanks.

That was exhausting.

Like anyone really cared about

that whiny little nobody.

You're a monster.

Are you out of your mind?

I'll give you a couple of days

and then we'll plan the next one.

You can't make me do this.

You just do this one thing, and then

we can have everything we want.

And you can have

Eric all to yourself

since you were obviously thinking about

him while you were making out with me.

- That's not true.

- Just remember

there are a lot of things I've chosen not

to tell the police, so you're welcome.

Whoa, hold on there Sara.

Everything okay?

Yeah.

It's just been a tough day.

Guess it is weird with

everybody talking about you.

Unlike most people

I don't believe that stealing from a tip

jar necessarily makes you a murderer.

Or sleeping with a cute girl.

Guess I shouldn't be surprised

that you know things about me.

I've done my homework.

But, you know Sara, I can't help you

unless you help me a little bit.

I've told you

everything that I know.

Sorry that there's not more.

I have to go. Excuse me.

- You okay?

- I need to talk to you.

Yeah, c'mon in.

I don't expect you to believe me.

I don't expect anybody to

believe me, it's too f***ing crazy.

No, what's f***ing crazy is

you not going to the police.

If you didn't do anything

there's no problem.

I mean, I'll go with you,

we can get help together.

- You don't get it.

- Don't get what?

Let the system do what it does.

You know this better than anyone.

What I know better than anyone is

that the system doesn't serve people.

It serves people with power.

My dad was the friendliest guy to the people

that didn't really know him that well,

but at night...

I would be so scared for my mom,

because I could hear him yelling at her.

And when she died...

we had so many questions

for the police,

and we kept calling them

and calling them...

When they finally got back to us

they said that a search has been

conducted, but was inconclusive.
