Sleeping with the Enemy Page #3

- Six months ago she was removed.

Taken elsewhere.

But in her condition, not very far.

I'd suggest two days' drive at most.

I can put three men on it. But it'll cost.

Good.

I want this taken very seriously.

And if she's found, a $10,000 bonus

to the man who does, in cash.

And another ten to you.

Sorry.

- Hi!

- Hi.

Yuck!

This little girl

went nuts with the cotton candy.

- Yeah, I saw her. She was beautiful.

- And knows it, too.

It's good to see you.

- Yeah, you too.

- I feel kinda funny about the other day.

- Let's just forget about it, OK?

- OK.

- Heartland, huh?

- Have you always lived here?

No, I lived in New York for a coupla years.

Tried to be an actor.

Closest I ever got to Broadway

was tendin' bar at Sardi's.

Sometimes I feel like a failure

for comin' back here,

but other times I think

it's the smartest move I ever made.

Know why I came here?

To be near my mom.

She had a partial stroke three years ago.

I couldn't care for her.

- How is she now?

- I don't know. I haven't seen her.

I haven't gone there yet.

- Why not?

- I'm not sure it's safe.

" Hush, little baby, don't say a word

" Momma's gonna buy you a mockingbird

- Sara?

- Ben?

Yeah, it's me.

- I'm sorry. Did I scare ya?

- I'm just a little on edge.

- Look, I want you to come with me.

- Come with you where?

Ben, where are you?

Go ahead. Jump on.

" Hey, where did we go

" Days when the rains came?

" Down in the hollow

" Playin'a new game

" Laughin'and a-runnin', hey, hey

" Skippin'and a-jumpin'

" In the misty mornin'fog

" With our, our hearts a-thumpin'

" And you

" My brown eyed girl

" You, my brown eyed girl

" Now whatever happened

" To Tuesday and so slow?

" Goin' down to the old mine

with a transistor radio

" Standin'in the sunlight laughin'

" Hidin'behind a rainbow's wall

" Slippin'and a-slidin'

" All along the waterfall

" With you

" My brown eyed girl

" You, my brown eyed girl

" Do you remember when

" We used to sing

sha la la la la la la la la la-la te-da

" Just like that,

sha la la la la la la la la la-la te-da

" La te-da

" Here's my story, it's sad but true

" It's about a girl that I once knew

" She took my love, then ran around

" With every single guy in town

" I should have known it from the very start

" This girl would leave me with a broken heart

" Listen, people, what I'm tellin'you

" Keep away from Runaround Sue, yeah

" I miss her lips and the smile on her face

" The touch of her hand

and this girl's warm embrace

" So if you don't want to cry like I do

" Keep away from Runaround Sue

" She likes to travel around, yeah

" She'll love ya, then she'll put you down

" Now, people, let me put you wise

" Sue goes out with other guys

" Here's the moral and the story

from the guy who knows

" lfell in love and my love still grows

" Ask any fool that she ever knew

" They'll say

"Keep away from Runaround Sue"

No...

Ben, stop.

Ben, no. Stop, please.

I can't. I can't. It's not right.

Stop! Stop it! Stop it!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Sara...

God, what did he do to you?

Please go. Please.

Sara, please.

Please. Oh God, Ben, please.

I'm sorry, but you have to go.

What you said is right.

I had a husband.

And he hurt me.

- I guess I'm just really afraid.

- Of what?

Of never getting my life back together.

It just feels like that.

Someday you might surprise yourself.

I'm glad you're here.

Me too.

- Hold still.

- I am holding still.

- Your mouth. Keep it shut.

- Well, it's tickling me.

- OK. Hold that front there.

- Here?

Yeah.

Oh, Ben, that looks great.

- Even your mother won't recognize you.

- My mother will recognize me.

Can I help you, sir?

- Yeah, I'm looking for the rest room, ma'am.

- It's right around the corner there.

Jane? Is that you, Jane?

" Hush, little baby, don't say a word

" Momma's gonna buy you a mockingbird

Laura, you're here!

Hi, Mom. Hi.

You look wonderful.

What...?

It's a disguise.

- Are you all right?

- I left him, Mom.

It just became so terrible.

But I'm all right now,

and we're gonna be fine.

You look so beautiful.

- It's a wig.

- Is he looking for you?

I don't think so.

- But I'm not sure.

- God! What did he do?

It doesn't matter now.

You'll be OK alone?

Yeah, I'm OK.

I got a job.

Makin' my own money, and I have a friend.

A man.

He's nice, Mom.

He teaches drama

at the college in Cedar Falls.

It's been hard for you.

Honey, you're gonna be fine.

Inside, you always were.

There's nothing Martin or any man

can do or say to take that away.

You have yourself.

Thanks, Mom.

Excuse me. I wonder if you could help me.

I can try.

My younger sister

used to work for the lady in room 14.

She's returning to this area

and I know she'll want to visit Mrs Williams.

And you'd like to leave a message for her?

Well, the thing is,

my sister married someone the family

didn't approve of really and we grew apart.

I was wrong to let that happen.

If she knows I'm here,

she won't see me or take my calls.

I wanna surprise her.

What I need is someone

just to let me know she's here.

Someone I can trust to keep a secret.

Here's my name and motel number.

It would sure mean a lot to me.

I'd be glad to help.

Thanks.

Jane?

Jane... Jane?

- Mom, who were you talking to?

- Nobody, I guess.

Here's your medicine. Hold out your hand.

Excuse me, sir? Won't be a minute.

I gotta go. OK.

Yeah. I'll call you later. Bye-bye.

You asked about Chloe Williams' visitors.

Well, for six months not one,

then suddenly today...

- A young woman.

- Uh-uh. A young man, a little mustache.

Only just walked out that door.

- Did you see her?

- God, it was perfect!

Oh, she looks so beautiful.

Nobody suspected a thing. I felt so safe.

You are safe. You are.

Will you let me help you with your supper?

It does look delicious.

- Who are you?

- My name is Darryl Walker, ma'am.

I'm a police officer.

Am I under arrest?

No, no. I just have some questions.

Shall we start with some steak?

You had a visitor yesterday.

Yes, my nephew. He's from Wisconsin.

Good girl. Laura should be proud of you.

Carrots.

We have to get word to her, ma'am.

The Boston police have called us.

They say her husband is in this area.

We think he wants to harm her.

So if she calls,

have her ring the police at Sioux City...

She won't call. Not till Sunday, she said.

That's a long time.

He's a crazy man.

I know that.

He's very dangerous.

Help us find him, Chloe, for God's sake.

- We have to warn her.

- I don't know where!

Think! Think.

Is she with someone?

A man, perhaps? Someone we could contact.

He teaches dramatics.

- Where?

- At a college in Cedar Falls.

Thank you, Chloe.

Help her.

Please.

Chloe? It's time for your medicine.

Here you go, Chloe.

Don't worry.

Where is she?

Please don't make me ask again.

- I don't... I don't know...

- My wife. She's only my wife.

- A wonderful f***, isn't she?

- Mister, you've got the wrong guy.

That would be disappointing.
