Sometimes Mommy and Daddy fight

and that's bad.

Sometimes they fight and that's good.

She's so, so, so tired.

You help me find it?

Cos you're the girl. And when we

find it you can have some...snacks.

And then when she wakes up

we'll feed her too.

You gonna say you're sorry now?

# Don't sit under the apple tree

with anyone else but me

# Anyone else but me... #

Cat got your tongue?

You're worse than your goddam daddy!

# Don't sit under the apple tree

with anyone else but me

# Till I come marching home... #

You got him real mad.

That's why he put you

in bad mommy's clothes.

He says he's disappointed in you.

He told me you'd be the loveliest

mommy in the whole wide world.

Does your face hurt?

I can kiss it better.

Is that better?

Are you tied too tight?

I'd loosen it,

but he might get mad again.

- I'd never seen him mad before.

- Ruby!

- Dr Silverman?

- Yeah.

You know this place?

I was told about it.

Let's get some light in there.

Sweet Jesus!

# ..with anyone else but me

# Anyone else but me

# With anyone else but me #

Bedtime, Ruby. Undo me, OK?

Time to move over, Claire.

Thank you, sweetums.

Go snuggle up with Mommy.

I'd never hurt you, Claire.

Didn't mind

hurting Paul, though, did I?

I thought you'd be a better mommy.

My mom was no good either.

She...

wore dresses like that.

# Never knew my dad

# Mom was all I had #

NO!

Please?

Got eyes in the back of my head.

When Mom said

it was time for bed, I...

I believed her.

Sorry if I'm moody.

It's been a long day.

Things didn't turn out the way...

I thought they would.

Now I'm gonna kiss you...

- good night.

- Ah!

- Ow.

- Take a cheek, Ruby.

- Oh, God.

- Shh.

- Claire?

- Shh, shh, shh, shh. Yes?

- Claire?

- Yes?

I just had a bad dream.

I dreamt my mommy

was dead in the lake...

and she had your face.

Does that mean you're gonna kill me?

I hope not.

- Any word on the car she took?

- It was seen on Route Nine.

- Great, let's go.

- All right.

You're not such a bad mom.

Don't get him mad again.

I don't like you any more.

- I die in the lake, remember?

- I forgot that.

- Maybe you develop a limp.

- I emptied it.

Run!

Run, Ruby!

Run! Wait! Stop.

Come here. Now, you gotta

be brave now, Ruby.

- You gotta be brave, honey.

- Yes. You gotta come with me.

- It's me he wants, not you.

- Claire!

Vivian.

Mom?

You gonna say you're sorry now?

I...don't...WANNA!

Route Nine. Just made visual

contact with ground units.

Mom!

Something's wrong.

Mom?

The cat got my tongue.

Mom? It hurts real bad.

Ruby, where the f*** are you?!

Claire!

It still hurts!

Gonna kiss and make it better!

Every couple has their problems.

We have to talk!

Two-six to dispatch.

I have a young girl fitting

the description of the subject.

Don't you want to work it out?

Or is it just too late

for me and you?

I know how it goes now -

Ruby makes it to the road.

She stops a car, maybe a police car.

The policeman comes in

and there's all this hostage stuff!

- Is that how it goes?

- Uh-huh.

Maybe Claire breaks her neck!

Oh, I don't want this to happen

I really went out of my way

to bring you here!

- Maybe Claire jumps!

- No, please!

Claire!

Claire!

We got a lead. A girl found off

the interstate named Ruby.

Head due east, we're looking

for a large wooden structure.

- A cider factory.

- Roger that.

Claire!

Claire!

Where are you?

This is Air Seven.

Have established visual contact.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

He's back there!

Back there!

Now there's all this hostage stuff.

I told you so!

- You've gotta give yourself up!

- But how?

I let you go,

they'll make a real mess of me.

- It's empty! There's no bullets!

- Go away! Go away!

Shoot!

Mirror, mirror on the wall

who's the fairest one of all?.

You are.

Wrong. You are.

Come with me.

Where, darling?

Home.

The jury finds you

guilty, but insane,

so I cannot pass the death sentence.

You will be held

in a secure mental facility

until the state

deems it safe to release you,

which I hope

will not be in my lifetime.

I can live with that.

I can live with this, too.

Shh, shh. Pleasant dreams.

Oh...

Oh!

Help!

# I close my eyes

# Then I drift away

# Into the magic night

# I softly say

# A silent prayer

# Like dreamers do

# Then I fall asleep to dream

# My dreams of you

# In dreams

# I walk

# With you

# In dreams

# I talk

# To you

# In dreams you're mine

# All of the time

# We're together

# In dreams

# In dreams

# But just before

# The dawn

# I awake

# And find you gone

# I can't help it

# I can't help it

# If I cry

# I remember that you said

# Goodbye

# It's too bad

# That all these things

# Can only happen

# In my dreams

# Only

# In dreams

# In beautiful

# Dreams #
