Kept Woman Page #4

not being able to go anywhere

because of the car situation.

She also...

Oscar, we just wanna find out

what happened to her,

make sure she's OK.

She said there was

some tension at home

because of money and stuff.

Did she confide in you

about anything else?

Is there..is there somebody

we should talk to?

She was a little suspicious

about your new neighbour, Simon.

What do you mean

by "suspicious"?

She just had a bad

feeling about him.

She thought he was lying

about having a woman

at his place.

- That's it?

- You know Jess!

This is my number in case

you think of anything else

or if Jessica tries

to get in touch with you.

Cool! I'll dig up what I can

on Simon and keep you posted.

Thanks, but I'll handle

the police work.

Yeah, OK.

Gentlemen!

Good morning.

Hey! This is Tyler.

He's a friend,

and he's also a cop.

He's helping me

try to find Jess.

She didn't come back

home last night?

No.

Could I ask you a

couple of questions?

Of course!

You spoke to Jessica

an hour before she went missing?

That's right.

Like I told Evan,

I called and asked her

if she wanted anything

from the grocery mart.

She said she was fine,

seemed a little upset,

and that was about it.

Do you live here

with anyone else?

No.

Are you seeing anybody,

a girlfriend?

Why?

Uh, Jessica expressed

concern that you'd lied to her

about having someone

else in the house.

She, uh, she was suspicious,

something about extra groceries.

I'm..I'm sorry, Simon.

No!

She's right. I did lie

about the groceries.

I was having someone

in that night,

and I wanted to be discreet.

Why?

She was one of my grad students.

But I like Jessica,

and..and I didn't want her

to think badly of me.

I'm..I'm sorry, Simon.

No, no, no.

If I were you, I would

be very worried.

I just hope that you find her.

Thanks a lot.

If we work together, we'll

find way to escape

Please don't talk about that

Can he hear this?

I don't know

Robin, this isn't your home.

You don't understand.

Robin, you're a prisoner, and

we need to get out of here.

You don't understand.

I do.

I understand just fine.

You need to listen to me.

I think if we can have

a plan, we can get out.

- No.

- Yes.

- No.

- Yes.

- No!

No, no! This is where

I'm meant to be!

This is where we're

both meant to be.

OK, OK, OK.

I need you to write down

your email address

and your password.

No.

I'm not gonna

repeat myself again.

Write down your email address

and your password, please.

Want me to tell you

what happens if they're wrong?

It's right.

Now, I'm gonna be back tonight,

and when I am,

why don't you be wearing one

of those dresses I bought you?

Dear, Evan. I'm sorry.

I thought moving

would fix things,

but instead, it just revealed

the bigger problem between us.

I don't need any money.

I've met someone who understands

me and is taking care of me.

I just want to move on.

I'm sorry this is abrupt,

but I hope in time you'll agree

that this was the most humane

way for me to end things.

I don't expect you

to understand,

but this is what I want.

Please don't try to get

in touch. Jessica.

Six years!

No discussion?

Just gone?

It doesn't make any sense!

Do you think she

could've gotten mixed up

with drugs or gambling?

No! No, man!

Yeah, but then again,

I had no idea she started

seeing someone else.

"I've met someone

who understands me."

What does that even mean?

Did you email her back?

Yeah, a couple times.

Still no response.

OK.

I hate to tell you this,

but you need to take out

whatever cash you have

in any joint accounts.

All the cash I have

went into this house.

How could she do this to me?

OK, show us the next one!

Oh, come on!

Don't be shy!

Whoo!

Oh!

Turn around.

Yeah.

Oh, I think that's the one.

What do you think?

Definitely, yes!

This is like your glass slipper.

Mm-hmm!

Do you like it?

I asked you a question!

What do you want me to say?

I want you to be honest.

OK.

I wanna go home.

Unfortunately, there's nowhere

else for you to go anymore.

What are you talking about?

Evan received your email,

and he acknowledged

his limitations

as a romantic partner,

and he accepts that this is the

best thing for you from now on.

You're insane!

? Still I have to say?

? That I'm the

only one for you...?

Don't you ever

talk to me like that.

Oh, this is

definitely the dress.

- What do you think?

- Mm-hmm!

You know, what might be nice

is if you ask Robin

to help you with your

hair and your makeup.

Do you mind?

- No, no. Not at all.

- Great!

And maybe Robin

could use a break.

Why don't you cook

tomorrow night?

He doesn't mean to hurt you.

How can you defend him?

Simon loves me!

Us.

? I guess you'll never know?

? That I'm the only...?

Well, that smells lovely!

What are we having?

Roast!

Hmm!

You look very nice, Jessica.

When someone gives

you a compliment,

it's polite to respond.

Thank you.

And I have a little

surprise for you too!

I got you some of the

stories I know you like.

Maybe it will help

stimulate your writing.

- That was nice of you to think of me.

- Of course!

How's the drink, darling?

It's fine.

Jessica, it looks

like you went all out.

I'm not sure how it'll taste.

Well, I appreciate the effort.

You made it.

Why don't you carve it?

Well, would you look at that!

Oh! No!

Stop! Oh!

I'll give you a choice.

You let me go,

and I give you my word..

How about I give you a choice?

You give me the

code to the door,

or I'll torture it out of you.

I'll die before I tell you,

but you'll die down here

with me, both of you.

- Tell me!

- No!

What is it?

Please don't hurt him!

Shut up!

Tell me now.

The reason I'd rather die

is because I don't wanna

live in a world without you.

That's how committed

I am! I love you!

Then I'm gonna

give you a choice!

Do you want me to cut out your

left or your right eye first?

Hmm?

Last chance.

NO!

Robin! Stop!

You need to accept it.

This is your fate.

How are you feeling?

Leave me alone.

Sorry if you feel

like I betrayed you,

but you were going

to destroy our home.

Stop calling this a home!

You would've ended up like

Megan if I hadn't stopped you!

Who's Megan?

The girl who was here before me.

She couldn't find love

in her heart for Simon,

and she kept trying to run away.

Did he kill her?

Robin, did he kill her?

No!

I did.

It was my punishment.

I didn't try hard

enough to stop her.

I can't go through that again.

Evan!

Hey!

Hey!

What happened to your head?

I took a spill on my bike.

Well, it looks like

you hit a brick wall.

I hit the asphalt.

I'm OK, though.

Any update on Jessica?

Nothing.

And how are you holding up?

Not good.

You know, why don't you

come over for a drink tonight?

The ball game's on...

Oh, I don't know.

I insist!

It would probably

do you some good

to get your mind off things.

Yeah, sure.

Why not?

Up to bat is Shawn Martinez...

Thanks for this.
