Return to Sender Page #5

Surely you didn't think I'd forgotten

that you came into my home and raped me?

Did you make me sick?

No. The antifreeze made you sick.

I just provided it to you.

Oh, come on, I didn't give you

any more than I gave Benny,

and you got a good 70 pounds on him.

You f***ing crazy?

No.

No, I'm not crazy, William.

Crazy suggests that I don't know

right from wrong.

And I do.

This... is clearly wrong.

Miranda... look at me.

You're a nurse.

That means you save people.

I saw you save that man

that was choking.

I was there.

You saved his life.

You saw that?

You saw what I got to do?

I got to stick a knife into

a man's throat in broad daylight,

and people wanted me to do it.

In fact, they applauded.

- What are you doing?

- Room service.

What did you give me, Miranda?

Don't worry. You won't feel a thing.

I'm getting good at this.

All right, I get it.

I'm kind of surprised you trust me

to give you water. Considering.

Go ahead.

Go ahead and drink, William.

At this point what do you have to lose?

You wanna watch?

Hold that thought.

Now...

You stay right there.

- Do you have something for me?

- Yes, ma'am, it's right there.

Thank you.

Please.

Don't. Please.

Just in time.

Used up my very last one three days ago.

- Oh, it hurts, doesn't it?

- What are you doing to me?

I'm sorry it hurts,

I know it hurts. Here.

Hold my hand.

Hold my hand, there you go.

There you go, squeeze

all you want. That's it.

William, you're hurting me!

William! Stop it, stop it!

You're hurting me, stop it, stop it!

William, let go, let go, let go!

Thank God that's not my hand.

What the f***?

What is that?

Honestly, you know, I'm not even

allowed to perform surgery.

Not even allowed to assist in surgery.

I've been having

this terrible problem with my hand.

Help!

Hey!

I developed this terrible twitch.

It's getting better.

That's so weird.

You should really look

at yourself. Here.

Seriously though,

look at your expression.

Your eyes.

It's fascinating, isn't it?

That's why I work in critical care.

You get to see what really

matters to people.

You're not a killer.

I know you're not a killer.

You're not gonna let me die.

I let my mother die, William.

She did a lot of things,

but she didn't f*** me from behind.

So really, William, the question is...

What matters to you?

You do.

You do.

- I do?

- Yeah.

'Cause you're pretty stupid

and predictable.

You know that?

Oh, I almost forgot.

What goodies did you bring?

What's in the backpack?

No, Miranda!

Wallet.

Keys.

Don't tell me you were that optimistic.

That's not what it looks like.

I wasn't gonna do anything with that.

You know what I was thinking...

when you were raping me?

When I thought that I might die...

I was thinking...

Is it in yet?

'Cause I couldn't feel a thing.

But I'm pretty certain

that you feel me now, don't you?

Take a look at yourself.

Go on.

Help! Help!

- Help!

- You're right, William...

I win.

I win.

- Daddy, I'm so sorry.

- Don't...

apologize.

Please don't.

I know that it's...

I know that this doesn't make

a lot of sense...

Manny.

It doesn't make any sense.

At all.

You were so strong, Miranda.

When your mother died,

everyone figured you would rebel,

cause all sorts of troubles.

But you stayed the course.

You stayed levelheaded.

For the first time in my life...

I'm scared.

I'm really worried about you.

- You don't have to worry.

- This is your life.

I know that, Daddy.

So I put an end to it.

He won't be coming around anymore.

Strength

We'll fight another day

To break the silence

Of a sleepless mind

Fend

For your and my own sake

We sail together

Through the blazing sky

Send us shining

Out of this state

Divided we let go

Unite us we'll pay

For times our freedom

Leads us in vain

Derided we stand down

All blinded by faith

Mend

Our hearts won't lay astray

They soar forever

Elevate us high

Bend

This life through our own ways

As freedom comes on

Clouds of smoke

We rise

Send us shining

Out of this state

Divided we let go

Unite us we'll pay

For times our freedom

Leads us in vain

Derided we stand down

All blinded by faith
