You're alright now, darling.

You're alright.

It's all over.

You're alright.

I thought when she lost

her memory of that night,

it was a sign of God's forgiveness.

I thought I was being

given another chance

to change everything,

to make it all up to her.

I'm sorry, Mrs Edgar.

Truly sorry.

Your mother told the police that she'd

killed the sailor in self-defense.

They could see how bad hurt I was.

They believed me.

And I never told anyone the truth.

Never.

Not even when they tried to take you

away from me, Marnie.

Not even then.

You must've loved me, Mama.

You must've loved me!

You're the only thing in

this world I ever did love.

It - it was just that

I was so young, Marnie.

I never had anything of my own.

You know how I got you, Marnie?

There was this boy.

Billy.

And I wanted Billy's

basketball sweater.

I was 15.

And Billy said, if I let him,

I could have the sweater.

So I let him.

And then, later on when you got

started, he run away.

I still got that old sweater.

And I got you, Marnie.

And after the accident,

when I was in the hospital,

they tried to make me

let you be adopted.

But I wouldn't.

I wanted you.

And I promised God right then,

if he'd let me keep you,

and you not remember,

I'd bring you up different from me.

Decent.

Decent?

Oh, Mama!

Well, you surely realised

your ambition.

I certainly am decent.

Of course I'm a cheat,

and a liar and a thief,

but I am decent.

Marnie, it's time to have a

little compassion for yourself.

When a child,

a child of any age, Marnie,

can't get love,

it takes what it can get,

any way it can get it.

It's not so hard to understand.

Get up, Marnie, you' re aching my leg.

There. That's better.

Mark?

Wha - What am I going to do?

What's going to happen?

What do you want to happen?

I guess I... I want it all cleared up.

Will I -

Will I go to jail?

No. Not after what

I have to tell them.

We'll go now.

Ah, Mrs Edgar, I'll bring Marnie back.

She's very tired now.

Goodbye, Mama.

Goodbye.

Goodbye, sugarpop.

Oh, Mark,

I don't want to go to jail.

I'd rather stay with you.

Had you, love?
