Yeah, I'm angry too.

You don't think I want to

f***ing kill that guy

for what he did?!

Well, maybe if you had

been there you could have.

And maybe if you could

f***ing stop at three drinks.

I didn't mean that.

I didn't mean that. Hey, c'mon.

You know I didn't mean that. I'm sorry.

Nothing you did was wrong - Ok,

he's the a**hole, I'm the

f***ing a**hole.

Everything that you're doing...

- Everything that you've done.

- it's good. It's all good.

I think it too, you know.

I think that all the time.

If I just hadn't had that last drink,

or maybe if I wasn't

so cheap and took a

f***ing cab home for once

or if I didn't have my

headphones on...

And then I think - why? He would have

just done it to somebody else, right?

And I would not - I would

not wish this on anybody.

I've been thinking about this a lot...

And I think I should move out.

Don't.

I don't think this relationship is

working anymore, for either one of us.

Don't do this.

I'm sorry.

I know you're really

trying, Matt.

But I just don't. I don't

see... I don't see...

how we can survive this.

Bonnie, honey, it's Kirra Williams.

I got some bad news.

The man they caught - who

attacked the other girl?

Well, the DNA tests came back and he

wasn't the same man that attacked you.

I'm sorry, honey.

Also, the swabs they took from you?

They were inconclusive - the DNA doesn't

match any of our records. I'm sorry-

Excuse me. Do you realize how

reckless you were just being?

Excuse me?

I don't know if you heard, but

two women were just raped

recently in this area and you're

just walking around with your

headphones on, not really paying

any attention to the world.

Ok, what the hell?

Anybody could have been

following you just now.

Right. Like you just were?

Yes, exactly. I was like two feet

behind you and you didn't even notice.

Are you trying to sell me

something?

I don't want whatever it is,

lady -

Look, I'm just trying to get you to

be more aware of your surroundings.

Thank you for the P.S.A.

I'm serious.

What on earth is your problem?

I'm not the one with

the problem here.

Oh trust me,

you have a huge problem.

Do you realize you are

practically asking for it?

Who the hell are you?

Oh my god, take out

your goddamn headphones.

Get your f***ing hands

off of me!

Look around you.

Listen to me.

The world does not stop for you,

okay?

It keeps spinning, no

matter what.

And you think you're safe

because you're right

outside your building?

You're f***ing delusional!

Lady, I don't know what happened to

you. But it's not my f***ing problem.

Now leave me the f*** alone.

What up?

Hey?

Hey, hey -

Hey, come here. Come.

I don't know what I'm doing.

It's ok.

It's going to be ok, I promise.

I'm sorry,

I really need to get this.

Yeah, sure.

No, no - will you please stay?

Hi, Mom.

Yeah, no, I've just been

really busy - I'm sorry.

Mom, can we talk about the holidays a

different time, please? I just can't -

Mom?

Mom.

Mom - please, stop - ok?

Listen to me, please.

I need to tell you something.

It's really important.

No - everything's gonna be fine.

It's just - I just need to tell

you something and I really need

you to listen.

Okay? Don't interrupt me.

I'm sorry... I'm sorry that I

didn't say anything

about it before.

But I really need

to tell you something.

Hey, you were here

a few weeks ago, right?

Ah, yeah.

Not coming in?

I was toying with the idea.

It took me months to come back.

And even then, I thought: "if

they pull out the crystals and

start burning incense -

I'm getting outta here". I promise you,

they don't. I'm Mina, by the way.

Bonnie.

Nice to meet you.

Well. I'm going to go in,

but honestly - no pressure.

Thanks.
