When the Bough Breaks Page #2

- You guys go ahead. I gotta take this.

- All right, John.

- Hey, babe. Just got out of court.

- John.

John, you're gonna be a father.

What?

Anna's here and...

She took a home test.

She took three of them...

...and all three of them were positive.

Oh, my God. I'm gonna be a father.

Anna's sitting here watching me

bawl my eyes out.

- Babe.

- Yeah.

- Hey, Mama.

- Hey, Daddy.

- I want her to go to Yale.

- No, no. He is gonna go to LSU.

- Law review.

- First female president.

Okay.

Anna's in the shower. She's gonna

come say hi when she's done.

- Okay. You guys going to yoga together?

- Yep.

I didn't know how I'd feel

about somebody else's body...

...going through everything

but I really like this girl.

I really like you.

- I really like you.

- I really love you.

I didn't know he was here.

- He came home early.

- No, Anna, this is... Oh, it's...

This is great news.

It's great news.

This is good work, John.

If this is right, they got nowhere to run.

Well, unless they draw

Judge Steve Paulson.

He doesn't believe in

corporate negligence.

Invite him to your charity event

next month.

The man loves cocktail shrimp

and the Saints.

Done.

Will you guys just excuse me for a minute?

She's here for you?

She's a relative.

I called Laura.

She told me to come. I'm sorry.

- Is everything okay?

- Yeah.

I had a doctor's appointment.

Mike didn't pick me up.

Okay, let's go.

Come on, honey.

I grew up in a neighbourhood

just like this.

My father, he worked so hard,

he didn't have that many days off...

...but when he did...

...he used to pick me up from school.

God, I can't wait to do that.

You're welcome, John.

- So you okay?

- Yeah. Thanks for the ride.

Quiet. Quiet!

Guess you forgot to pick her up.

Everything good?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I'm great.

How's this one working out?

Anything you need me to talk to her about?

Everything's fine.

Go in the house right now.

Now.

Let's go.

It's been a long day, cat.

Move.

Mess with me?

That's what I'm talking about.

What's troubling that

pretty little head of yours?

Anna said she'd call me, and she hasn't.

She's young. She probably just forgot.

Told you.

Hello?

What?

- You must be John Taylor?

- Yes.

Right over here.

I'm fine.

- You're sure?

- Yeah.

- The baby's okay?

- Baby's fine. I'm sure.

The perpetrator,

Mr. Mitchell, he'll be taken in...

...and charged with domestic battery.

He acknowledged striking Miss Walsh.

- You're not gonna let him out, are you?

- He makes bail, we can't hold him.

- But he'll hurt me.

- He tries to harm you...

...you call us, we'll arrest him again.

You may wanna try to find

another place to stay.

I don't have another place to stay.

Yes, you do.

He hurt my face.

I am so sorry.

- It's okay.

- I am so sorry.

- No, it's okay.

- Anna!

- Anna!

- Hey.

- Anna!

- Let's go!

- Anna!

- Don't move!

- Hey, hey!

- Get down. Get down!

I got him. All right. Get him in the car.

- Come on. Come on! Get in the car!

- Anna.

Oh, my God.

You're okay, all right?

We're gonna take care of you.

You're gonna be fine.

Let's get you inside.

Hey, John.

How the hell are you?

I need you to listen to me, Mike.

I need you to really understand

what I'm about to say.

This is a restraining order.

It's already happened.

This is a case for domestic abuse...

...battery and child endangerment.

This is a letter to the DA...

...who's a friend of mine...

...recommending no less

than seven criminal counts.

These haven't been filed yet.

So, what's gonna happen now is this:

You're gonna stay away from Anna.

We're never gonna see you again.

She's never gonna see you again.

In 10 days, you're gonna be shipped off

to the Middle East.

And when you return,

your money's gonna be waiting for you.

But if you ever...

...come near Anna again...

...I'm gonna bust your head open.

Then I'm gonna make sure

your punk ass is sent somewhere...

...that's gonna make the Middle East

look like Club Med.

Have I made myself clear?

Oh, yeah.

- Crystal.

- Good.

Opening 3.

Have a nice life.

Counsellor.

Thanks for the visit.

How is she?

She's sleeping in the guest house.

- Where'd you go?

- I just went to...

...make sure Mike wouldn't be

a problem anymore.

I was watching her sleep.

She looks so pretty.

John, it's okay. You can admit it.

She's beautiful.

Yeah, well, I don't know.

I guess if you're the type of guy...

...who likes...

...soft, young...

...pert breasts.

An ass that you can bounce

a quarter off of.

But I hadn't really noticed,

I have to tell you.

Oh, sometimes I forget

how good of a liar you are.

I love you.

I love you so much.

You know that, right?

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

- Good morning, hon.

- Good morning.

Thank you.

Anna, we'd like you to stay here

with us in our guest house.

We'd like you to take time off of work.

We'll pay you whatever you were making.

We'll get you a car so you don't feel

trapped. Come and go as you please.

- Are you serious?

- Yeah.

We talked about it.

We feel more comfortable...

- ...knowing you're here most of the time.

- And knowing that you're safe.

It's just... I think Mike...

Anna, Mike hurt you.

And he's not gonna be around anymore.

Not for a very long time.

Now, you are doing

this incredible thing for us.

It's the least we can do.

Let us do something nice for you, okay?

- Okay.

- Okay.

Thank you.

Well, she is now officially

better than me in yoga.

Well, she's 10 weeks pregnant.

Give it another five weeks...

...you'll be able to take her down.

Because yoga's all about who wins, right?

She says it's got her body going crazy.

For sex, for men.

I guess it's the hormones.

Anything from the boyfriend?

No. Nothing.

He just shipped out

without even contacting her.

I'm glad he's gone.

- Ready for the associate's dinner?

- All set.

Laura, sweetie, come on, let's go.

I'm coming!

Sometime tonight, sweetheart.

Oh, my God.

You look like a movie star.

You like?

I love that dress.

You look absolutely stunning.

Can I take your picture?

All right.

Listen, you have both of our cell numbers.

And we'll be home by midnight.

Okay, 1.

I'll get the car.

So beautiful.

It's amazing the way he is with you.

You are so lucky.

Thank you. Thank you, Anna.

And you have a good night.

- You too. Have fun.

- All right. We will.

"Today...

...I am happy.

I am in control of my life.

I will experience the joy of pure love."

Sorry.

I was watching TV.

- I guess I fell asleep.

- No problem.

I fall asleep there all the time.

I'd like a cup of coffee.

Doctor says I'm allowed one cup a day.

Okay.

- One cup.

- Thank you.

- God, it's so old.

- Miss Havisham.

She's not old, she's ancient.

I was never really a cat person,

but Laura loves her.

All these years, she treated that cat

just like she was her baby.

But when the real baby comes...

...we'll have to see how old

Miss Havisham reacts then, huh?

I told Laura she's lucky to have you.
