When the Bough Breaks Page #5

I always wanted you to have it.

John told me about this.

Isn't it lovely?

Oh, that's so cute.

Thank you.

What are you doing here in my office?

You picked me.

It wasn't the other way around.

When you're around me...

...my whole body reacts.

I can't think.

I can't breathe.

I need you.

I know.

You want to be a good man.

But how do you know you love your wife?

If you kiss me...

...what if you found out

that this was more real?

- Kiss me.

- No, I'm not gonna kiss you.

- Kiss me.

- No.

Or I'll tell her things

that will make her leave you.

Kiss me, John.

- Please, John.

- No. No.

- Kiss me. John.

- No. No!

I can't live like this.

Look...

...nobody knows what's gonna

happen in the future.

What do you mean?

I mean, I know what you want.

But you're gonna have to trust me.

Okay?

I need you to go back to bed.

So will you do that for me?

I love you, John.

I know.

No!

- You a**hole!

- Whoa, wait a minute. Hold up!

You lied to me! Stay away from me.

- Come here.

- I'll kill you!

Anna.

- Stay away from me.

- Anna.

Leave me alone!

I hate you!

Okay. Give me the knife.

Give me the knife.

- Give me the knife.

- No! No!

- Give me the knife. Give me the knife.

- I wanna leave!

Relax. Just relax.

- Relax.

- Anna!

Stop it!

What the hell is going on?

He doesn't love you!

He told me!

Every time he screws me,

that's what he tells me!

- What are you talking about?

- I hate you!

Anna, please.

Stop this.

- What's going on here?

- Please don't let him hurt me.

- We got a call, a disturbance.

- No. She is having our baby.

She has to come back inside.

He's been screwing me. Every night.

Using me. Lying to me.

He told me that he loves me.

- That's not true.

- I hate him!

Come in the house. Let me talk to you.

- Don't come any further.

- Listen...

- Sir, you need to step back.

- Listen, she is carrying our baby.

Sir, did you hear me? Step back. Now!

Now.

Okay, drive careful, ma'am.

None of what she said was true, okay?

None of it. Babe, she is lying!

- I never even touched her.

- Whatever it was...

...you have been lying to me!

And now she's gone with our baby!

I've never lied to you.

- Did you sleep with her?

- No.

- Did you kiss her?

- No.

Then why didn't you say anything?

I didn't wanna ruin

the experience for you.

I thought that I could handle it, okay?

I knew that I was handling it.

And then it just... It just got worse.

And then she threatened

to take the baby and...

Because I couldn't have a baby...

- ...that I'm not a woman...

- No, no.

- ...that I can't handle it, you...

- No, I knew you could.

- I knew, I just...

- No, you didn't.

- I didn't wanna ruin it.

- You lied.

Baby, I just didn't wanna ruin it.

I wanted it for you.

I wish I could say that

it never happens, but it does.

So when does it become a kidnapping?

Never. It never becomes kidnapping.

Even though it's your egg,

fertilised by your husband's sperm...

...it's your embryo...

...but it's growing inside her uterus.

The law views her as the birth mother.

And when she gives birth,

it is her child...

...until she relinquishes that right.

Yes, thank you,

I'd like to hold for the doctor.

I'm not gonna make partner.

Why?

Anna came to the office,

caused a lot of problems.

Think Cooper's gonna let me go.

Dr. Park just got a notice

from a pharmacy in Mexico...

- ...where Anna bought Cytotec.

- She's in Mexico?

- No, she had it shipped here.

- What is Cytotec?

Well, it's normally prescribed

for ulcers...

...but if a pregnant woman takes

enough of it, it could induce labour...

...or terminate.

Where is the medicine being shipped?

I got the address. Let's go.

Hello?

- Is she there?

- No.

No, she's not here. Where are you?

I want you to come back.

Not to her. Just to you.

God, I miss you.

- Isn't that crazy?

- I can meet you.

I can meet you today, right now.

Where are you?

It can't be like it was.

Everything has to change.

I swear to you, if she does anything

to hurt my child, I will kill her.

She hasn't been here today.

Box is empty.

I think if she calls again, you know,

I could...

...lure her to a public place,

have the police there waiting for her.

Except she's not guilty of anything.

She is guilty. Okay?

She ordered a drug to end the pregnancy.

You want me to explain that to a judge?

I mean, you'd win the case,

but you'd lose your child.

She could kill your baby today.

You don't have time

to bring this to the police.

She was part of the scam, then she fell

in love with you. That's what we have.

She could have that baby any minute

now. She could be disappearing.

Oh, that girl ain't going nowhere.

She loves you.

You gotta put her at ease.

- You need to make her happy.

- Make her happy?

- Yes.

- No. I know this girl.

Making her happy is not an option.

You're wrong. You're wrong.

You give her what she wants.

Convince her you're in love with her.

Tell her that you're leaving me.

- I'm not gonna do that.

- Yes.

She is in love with you.

If you make her believe...

...that you feel the same way,

she will stay with you.

She will have the baby for you.

- Laura's right.

- No, she isn't.

In her mind, I am keeping

the two of you apart.

You convince her that you love her.

When you meet her,

you have to make her believe you.

That you want to have the baby

with her and not with me.

I don't wanna know what you have to do.

I don't ever...

...need to hear about it.

But you do whatever it takes

to bring my baby back.

You should take her to the lake house.

Tell her that you're thinking

of moving there.

With her.

Stay with me.

The new exhibit's right that way.

Wait, Anna.

Anna.

Oh, my God.

I love it.

It's so beautiful.

Yeah, it was my father's. Laura hates it.

I guess I should've sold it...

...but part of me

always wanted to live here.

God, I love it so much, John.

Can we live here?

Just us?

Yes.

After I file those divorce papers.

Just us.

I'm gonna make you so happy, John.

I want you to know...

...everything that I am...

...is yours.

All of me...

...everything...

...forever.

Laura?

Laura?

I couldn't sleep.

It's beautiful.

A leap of faith.

Yeah.

I can't stay long,

because I told her that...

Yeah.

I told her I had to pick up some papers.

Okay.

Laura, I...

- It's okay.

- No. I...

- ...just...

- It's okay.

Come here.

She's gonna stay

at the lake house tonight.

She agreed to go to

the doctor's with me tomorrow.

It's happening. Contractions.

I'm okay. I'm going to St. Agnes Hospital.

Come as soon as you can.

It's our baby.

- I have to go there.

- No. No, no.

- She cannot see you.

- John.

I know, just trust me. Okay?

Please, just trust me.

Excuse me.

I'm looking for a patient. Anna Walsh.

- Are you a relative? Okay.

- She's having my son, yes.

- I got here as soon as I could.

- Thanks for coming.

No, I'm sorry. I don't have a patient

listed under the last name Walsh.

Try Taylor. My last name is Taylor.
