The van, the log book...

James' personal effects, the gun.

The whole cover-up.

I thought I was protecting her,|helping her.

Just doesn't wash. You can see that|when I lay it out for you.

Come on.

Why does a young woman,|a mother, risk everything in life...

for a friend who torments her?

That whole time, you didn't act like|Joyce would kill somebody.

You acted like she|was gonna say something...

something she had over you...

something you did.

What you want is a lie.

Right? lsn't that what you want?

You won't get it, because I won't|say something that I didn't do.

Something that is a f***ing lie!

You lie to me, Cynthia.|I want a lie.

Bring in Mrs. Urbanski.

I'm not gonna lock you up right now.

Your kids need a mommy|more than I need an arrest.

I'm gonna let you go home.

I know where you live.

Let me walk you out.

You know...

I'm in a real tough spot here now.

I get the privilege|of going back in there...

and orphaning Joyce's son.

But, you know...

then again, the truth is|never easy, is it?

Thanks for coming in.

Give me these keys.|Come on.

No, don't.|Don't jostle me.

Come on.

I'm gonna be sick.

Come on. Hey, come on,|leave off, Jimmy!

Stop it.

It's time for you to lay down.

Let go. Come on.

- Lay down with me.|- I don't wanna lay down with you!

You'll like it.

Just lay down for a second.

Lay down for a second.

No, I don't... No!

Somebody help me!

- Don't do this!|- Just f***ing relax!

F***ing stop, all right?

I am winning! Yes, I won!

What?

- He's bleeding.|- Don't worry.

Let me see, let me just see.

Sh*t!

He's bleeding all over.

- Let me see.|- Look, no, he's...

he's out. He's asleep.

Asleep or unconscious? Because if|he's asleep, we can wake him up.

Give me the keys.

Give me the keys.|We'll go to the hospital.

We'll get him a transfusion.|He'll be fine.

What are you waiting for?|Let's go, let's go!

Come on, come on!

I didn't mean to hurt him.|I'm so sorry.

I mean, he just left me no choice.

I'm gonna go to jail for this.

I can't go to jail.|Who'll take care of my kids?

Did he try to f*** you?

Please don't.

Son of a b*tch!

Where you going?

To the hospital.

The hospital's the other way.

What are you doing?

Come on, we gotta turn around.|We gotta turn...

What the f***?|We gotta turn around!

- What's the matter?|- What if they don't believe us?

What if he wakes up?|He'll kill us both, you know.

We gotta stick together now.

It is too late!

We are just gonna|have to take him somewhere...

and leave him.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

What am I doing?

What am I doing?

Ready?

Let's get started.
