to the rule.

You did good, Linda.

I didn't.

Well, they're better off.

They're gonna have

a good life.

You did it.

You're finally a good

mother now.

Are you ever gonna let

me see them again?

Well, I can't predict the future, but

I'd say maybe you should just

count your blessings

and leave it at that.

Now, we gotta get going.

- Back in the trunk.

- No! No, no!

- I want one more minute, please!

- No!

You got your wish.

Now we gotta get back. You've got

two more jars to look forward to.

- You're a liar!

- Okay, so we're not all perfect.

But the jars do work, Linda.

- Now let's go.

- No!

You're startin' to make

me mad, damn it!

That wouldn't be the healthiest

choice for your kids.

I think you're bluffing me.

Go for it.

Now get back in the trunk.

You were taken off

the property?

You want to elaborate on that,

just a little bit more for me?

Anything specific

you can remember,

like any kind of a...

landmark or something

like that?

There was a carrousel there.

My dad used to take me there

when I was a little girl.

Yeah, the merry-go-round, huh?

Listen, there were people everywhere.

Somebody saw me.

All right, I'll...

I'll go back to the park and I'll...

I'll look around.

See if I can find any surveillance

pictures, or

anything like that.

Okay?

What I really want to know is

what happened between

then and now?

I already told you.

All right.

[ POUNDING ]

Who's there?

Wait!

You gotta get me

outta here now!

[ SHUSHING ]

Stop! Listen!

He's gonna f***ing hear you!

I think that there are keys

in that truck, okay?

I have to go alone.

- No, there's tools in that shed...

- Shh!

Shut up!

I will be right back, okay?

Shh.

[ MUSIC PLAYING ]

Go! Go in there!

There is nothing in there.

I gotta go.

You can't leave me.

Where is the nearest town?

- [ LOUDLY ] I don't know!

- Shh! Shut the f*** up!

- I'm sorry.

- Please, don't leave me here.

- Oh, f***! Oh, f***!

- Where are you going?

You can't leave me here! F***!

You can't leave me here!

- Get back in there! Get in there now!

- [ SCREAMING ]

[ RIFLE SHOT ]

[ RATTLING ]

I don't want 'em.

Maybe later then.

Now I need you...

to dig right here.

Four by eight...

by six feet under.

I'm not digging my own grave.

Are you testing me?

- No! Don't do this!

- Stop! Stop it!

- No!

- Stop it!

Stop it.

I'll do it, okay?

Attagirl!

Now, for once in your life,

take pride in something.

- Give me the fu...

- Hmm.

[ CAR STARTS ]

[ CAR DRIVES AWAY ]

Kathy?

Linda?

I'm gonna die in here, aren't I?

- No.

- I don't wanna die alone.

He left the shovel. I can

get you out of there.

The ground is still soft.

- I can dig you out.

- You'll never get me out of here

before he gets back.

Do you want to live or not?

Of course I do!

I'm gonna dig you out, okay?

The lord is my Shepard.

I shall not want.

He maketh me lay down

in green pastures.

He leadeth me beside still waters.

He restoreth my soul.

Memory:
You know what, if you're so

concerned, why don't you take 'em?

I could use a break.

You need to man up,

little soldier.

I don't know what to tell you.

- You don't need socks anymore.

- I said I don't care.

Let's go!

I don't care.

I shall fear no evil.

For thou art with me.

Hey. Hey!

Hey. Hey.

Okay.

Listen to me.

He is gonna come back.

I have a plan, okay?

[ SCREAMS ]

No! No!

No! No!

Do you even know what

my name means?

Well, I'm gonna teach you.

[ GUNSHOTS ]

[ SCREAMS ]

Listen, I...

Yeah, your guess is

as good as mine.

[ SHOVEL HITTING GROUND ]

[ CAR APPROACHES ]

[ WHISTLING ]

You enjoy your last

night, Linda, huh?

Now you two don't go anywhere.

I'll be right back.

[ CAR STARTS ]

Wake up!

[ SHUSHING ]

Where am I?

Shh! Shh! He's gonna hear you!

He's gonna hear you! Shh! Shh!

Please, where am I?

Listen, listen, listen. He's

gonna hear you, okay?

- Where is he?

- Shh!

- God damn it!

- Hey! Hey!

Listen to me. Listen to me.

All right. I need your help.

Okay, listen.

I-I need you to cut my cable.

Okay? I need you

to cut my cable.

Please help me.

My hands.

My cable's almost through.

Ok? Just right here, right

here, right here.

Right here. Right there.

- Look at me!

- I'm gonna do mine!

I'm gonna do mine!

[ SOBBING ]

F***.

Stop it! Stop it! Give

me the f***ing shovel!

I'm sorry...

I'm going to do mine... mine first.

I'll... I'll do it.

Here!

Go, go, go! Do yours.

Do yours.

Hurry!

- I'm gonna f***ing do mine.

- [ RUSTLING ]

Did you hear that?

What is it?

- I'll get you help.

- No, don't leave me!

- I'll get you help!

- Don't leave me!

Don't f***ing leave me here!

[ SCREAMING ]

Please, don't f***ing

leave me here!

Please, please don't f***ing

leave me here!

My god, what happened to you?

Do you have a cell phone?

No, I don't have a cell phone.

But I got a phone

up at the house.

No, no, no, no, no!

Please!

Do you know where the

nearest town is?

Well, it's about...

30 minutes away.

Will you take me?

Sure, I'll take you.

- Come on.

- Okay.

- Go!

- Buckle up.

No, no, no. Just go, go!

She wasn't raped.

Other than her hands,

she's perfectly fine.

Then can I see her again?

Yeah, go ahead.

Thanks.

I need to ask you just a

few more questions.

Nurse, if you don't mind.

Okay, why isn't anybody

listening to me?

Look, there is a woman

out there right now,

and she is being tortured.

Do you mind?

Why don't you just tell

me where this...

woman in danger is?

Why don't you ask the man

who brought me here?

What man?

The man. He picked

me up on the road

and he dropped me off here.

I don't know anything

about that. Look...

the hospital staff statement says

subject was found on the ground

outside of the E.R.

Look, Mrs. Grossel,

all right?

You lost custody of your children

recently, right?

Yeah, I did.

What does that have to do

with this right now?

You say you were abducted

and held captive.

The court says you are

a known drug user,

dealer, all right?

Also currently a defendant in

a child abandonment case

who missed her court date.

See where this is going?

All right? People go on binges,

miss their court dates every day.

You're gonna do some time.

Take me to jail...

'cause honest to god, I

could use the break.

I'm telling you the truth.

What proof... what proof do you have?

I am a worthless mother.

I am... worthless.

I have been worthless for

the last six years.

And I can look at myself

and I can say that.

But I am telling you the truth.

For the first time,

I am clean.

And I'm telling you the truth.

I can live with that.

Can you live with that?

[ SIGHS ]

What proof do you have?

Take her away.

[ CHILDREN'S LAUGHTER ]

There weren't any cameras in that uh...

park.

Do you believe me?

I ain't saying whether

I believe you or not.

Just saying...

there weren't any cameras

in the park.

You remember them three

names I gave you?

Yeah.

Well, you know, they...

they all told the same story.

Pretty much.
