I Killed My BFF Page #6

---

married and talk about

the rest of your

lives together?

I thought you said you

were done with her.

- I know.

Look, things are complicated

between me and Shane right now.

But, I can't stop

thinking about that night.

- Alex, I've been thinking

about that night non-stop.

Alex, there's something

I need to tell you.

- What?

- I don't really

know how--

- What is it?

- [Woman] Alex,

you better get in here.

- [Shane] This is absurd,

Alex do something.

- [Alex] Hey, what's going on?

You have no right...

(noisy clamor)

- It's okay, mommy's

coming right back.

- [Man] Alex!

- Heather, take care of them.

(ominous music)

- [Lawyer] Thank you.

You must be Alex and Shane.

I'm Conor Savage,

Ken Lokken's attorney.

- It's great to meet

you, Mr. Savage.

We are very grateful.

Okay, let's cut to the chase.

When you can you get us

the hell out of here.

- Alex, you're father's

agreed to post bail.

As long as all the

paperwork goes through

we should have you out

of here in a few hours.

- Oh, thank god.

Okay, so next steps.

How do we bash it in

to these idiots' skulls

that we are good,

hardworking parents

who had absolutely

nothing to do with this.

I was with my best

friend, Heather,

literally the entire night.

And, she'll tell you

the exact same thing.

- Look, we're not exactly

sure what evidence

the prosecution has against

you, until pre-trial.

Are you absolutely sure

that this friend of yours

will vouch for you?

- Absolutely.

(knock on door)

(knock on door)

- Hey Shane, what's up?

- Hi.

I was just on my way out.

My god, it's been

a crazy 24 hours.

It's not really

exactly how I imagined

my wedding night to end.

- Yeah, that was crazy.

- Yeah.

I can't really stay and chat,

I just was wondering if,

have you talked to the cops yet?

- Ah yeah, the cops came by.

- They did?

- Yeah, and they just

said I would have to

answer some more

questions later.

And, I don't know,

we didn't really go into depth

or anything like that.

- Okay, so that's,

that's it?

Got it.

Okay,

what are you doing later?

Alex is making fajitas tonight.

You should come by.

- Yeah, maybe.

- So, I can count you in?

- Yeah, yeah, I guess so.

- Okay, great.

Then, I will see you later then,

I guess.

(door slams)

(car door shuts)

- Hey Simon, it's Shane.

I haven't heard from

you in a minute.

Just calling to make sure

everything's still on track.

Give me a call when

you get a second, okay?

I'll talk to you soon.

- [Voicemail message] You've

got Simon, leave a name.

(phone dialing)

You've got Simon, leave a name.

(phone ringing)

- Alex, Godot is boarded up

and Simon won't return

any of my calls.

- [Alex] What do you mean?

- And, and Heather

talked to the cops.

- [Alex] What?

What did she say?

- I don't know.

I don't think she has

our backs anymore.

I don't think we can trust her.

- [Alex] What does that mean?

She has to.

She needs us to testify

at her custody trial.

- Yeah, I know.

That's the running theory.

(door closes)

- Hey.

- How are you?

- I'm alright, thanks.

What a way to spend my

wedding night, right?

- So, what the heck happened?

- Well, the whole thing is

just a big misunderstanding.

Honestly, I think they are

just grasping at straws

with this whole robbery thing.

Local police departments, right?

- Yeah, you guys have really

been through it lately, huh?

Did you hear about this

Heather thing, too?

The whole saga with her

baby and the ex-boyfriend?

- Oh yeah, he's a nightmare.

Alex and I are actually

testifying for her

at her hearing on the 15th.

- Oh my god, well we'll see

you there then, I guess.

- I'm sorry, what?

- Heather also

asked us to testify.

Guess it doesn't hurt

to have too many people

saying nice things

about you, right?

- Yeah, sure does feel good

to be loyal to your friends.

(door closes)

(giggles)

- Hey sweetheart,

how's it going?

What's all this stuff for?

- Well. some of it's

for Molly, obviously,

obviously.

And then, some of it

is for Sadie and Dylan.

Turns out, Shane's not as

great as we hoped, mom.

And, I think she might be

going away for a while.

- Heather, what on earth

are you talking about?

- I mean, Alex is

gonna need my help

takin' care of the kids.

Alex, is gonna need my help.

- Heather, talk to me.

What's going on?

- Mom, don't worry.

Things are finally looking up.

Will you unzip me?

- [Mom] Heather

Will you unzip me?

- Heather.

It scare me when

you get like this.

- Come on, unzip me.

(zips)

Thanks.

- Hello, Dr.

Horowitz, this is...

this is Becky Thomas.

Yeah, great.

- [Sadie] Mommy?

- Just set them down

right there, sweetie.

- [Sadie] Is Heather

coming with us

to see Aunt Marcia tomorrow?

- No, sweetie, I don't think so.

I think Aunt Marcia wants

you two little munchkins

all to herself.

(knock at door)

- [Heather] Hello!

Hi cutie pie.

- Dinner's ready.

- I wanna take Molly

there when she's younger.

Like, really young, you know?

Just imagine how

inspiring it would be

to see a real rocket

ship just blast in space.

Molly is such smarty,

I can already tell.

Maybe, I can inspire

her that young women

are capable of anything.

And, they are.

- That's great.

Heather, you know who I

ran into today, outside?

- Like, obviously I know I have

to win this thing first, but

I don't know, it's like

suddenly everything

ahead just seemed so clear,

it's like I'm looking

through a crystal.

Like, I'm a great

mother, you know?

And, I just don't

see how the judge

could possibly not see that.

I mean, that Melanie, she's

so weird and so skinny.

Like, do you even

think she eats at all?

- Heather, you know Kate

from downstairs, right?

- They're not so bad, really.

It's just that they

have no experience.

I think had they

been a part of it,

from the beginning,

like I clearly was,

- Heather?

- I think they could have

been really good, but

- [Shane] Heather?

- they weren't,

and that's gonna

work against them.

- Heather!

Will you stop talking

for one second?

There are other

people at this table.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

Would you like to control

the conversation, Shane?

What would you

like to talk about?

It's a pretty bad habit,

to be honest with you,

and Alex and I, we're

gettin' a little sick of it.

- You leave my

husband out of this.

(scoffs)

- Little late for that, Shane.

You know we were just talking

about it the other day,

you have no idea how hard

he fights for this family.

And, I think, he thinks,

he needs somebody

who appreciates that.

- I know what you're

doing, Heather.

And, it's not gonna work.

If you think for one second

that you have this whole

custody hearing wrapped up,

because you have the lesbian

vote from downstairs,

think again.

You know, I just might decide

to show up at your hearing

and tell everyone what

a nutcase you are.

And, that I don't trust

you around my children.

(glass smashes)

- Oh, oh, you think
