Women Who Kill Page #6

Yeah, or she'll just think I

didn't want to be

around her, which

is kind of true sometimes.

Why don't you just talk to her.

- Morgan?

- What?

You would rather think that

your girlfriend is a murderer

than have an actual

conversation.

You think she's a murderer too.

Well, because you

talked me into it.

You talked me into it first.

I was...

See, Jean, you always do this.

You talk me into something.

And then once I'm into

it, you talk me out of it.

You know what?

I'm over it.

Thanks for the ride.

You're over it?

Yeah, Jean, I'm over it.

You know what?

I'm over it.

Oh, you're over it

now that I'm over it.

How about neither of us

can be over it because we

were never not over it.

You know what else I am?

Annoying.

Relieved.

I'm relieved.

Ok, fine, Jean.

I'm sure I won't show

up dead any time soon.

You're a dick.

Does nobody care that my

life could be in danger?

Call me when your head's

out of your ass, dude.

Alex:
Hey, it's Alex.

Leave a message.

Hey, you've reached

Jean and "women who kill, inc."

Leave a message.

You have one new voice message.

Simone:
Hey, it's me.

I saw what you did.

You should have

talked to me first.

Excuse me.

Hi, hello.

Um, behind you.

Hi.

Sorry.

Excuse me.

Is this the...

Sh*t.

You dropped it a

few blocks ago, I mean,

not that I have

been following you.

- Thanks for giving it to me.

- Oh, no.

I am the one who

should be thanking

you for what you've given me.

Your show, it got me

through a really hard time.

I... I recently lost a friend,

like a really dear friend.

I'm sorry.

She was my mentor.

And we were really connected.

She is the one who taught me

how to be honest with myself.

And Donna would

always say, Celia...

I'm Celia.

Hi.

You're Morgan.

She would say, Celia,

leave me alone.

You're too close.

Well, she sounds really nice.

Yeah, oh, she meant

physically, not emotionally.

I mean, she might have

also meant emotionally.

We will never know that.

But we always used to listen

to your show together.

I mean, we weren't together.

But it felt like we were.

And she loved that azalea

lady, the professor.

Lila.

Lila.

Yeah, you were close.

You think so?

Oh, there was a connection.

Do you know what time it is?

Oh, that's what she used to say.

It is 2:
00 pm.

I have to go.

That's what she would

always say next.

I have to go.

I'm sorry.

It's just...

No, she just died in...

I'm sorry about your friend.

A really horrible way.

It was a recycling truck.

And we were all

yelling behind the guy.

We're like, she's

in your wheels, man.

It was so nice to meet you.

Thank you.

Uh, I'm actually going this

way, anyway, so I'm not weird.

What's this episode about?

Oh, it's not for an episode.

I just came to talk.

You're not going to record it?

Oh, I can if you want me to.

Only if you want to.

I'll do that.

Now, tell me

about your lady stuff.

Ok, well, you met Jean, my ex.

Unfortunately.

She and I work so

well together because we

don't work so well together.

She makes me feel

like the person I am,

and I don't like that

person very much, so...

And then there's Simone.

Oh, la-la, Simone.

Simone is NOM mysterious.

Yeah.

Simone makes me feel

alive and present.

She makes me feel like a

person I want to be, you know?

What, dear?

I think she might be a murderer.

Maybe this is a bad idea.

Aren't you having a good time?

It's not that.

It's just...

You have no idea

how lonely it gets,

being with women like these.

All the simplicity

really hurts my feelings.

But you are not simple,

Morgan, are you?

I'm not.

You're more like me.

Mind if I tell you

something private?

I don't mind.

Before I told you love

was the act of killing.

That's not true.

It's the moment right before

when they stop struggling.

They succumb.

The fear in their

eyes, it shifts.

And they fill up

with something I can

only describe as pure grace.

It was the sweetest

thing I've ever known.

Maybe it was just

a lack of oxygen.

Shh, shh.

Shh, shh.

Quit your fighting.

The fact is that you

want to feel it too.

So here's what you do.

Jean.

Holy sh*t.

Sorry.

It's Ok.

It's Ok.

I was just swiffering.

This late?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It comforts me.

When I was little,

my mom used to always

wake up in the middle...

I need to talk to Jean.

Oh, Ok.

Yeah, I don't... I

thought she was with you.

Why?

Well, she left a while ago.

She... she got worried

when she couldn't

reach you on your phone.

But then she told me that

she saw on your calendar

that you had a super-clean shift

with Simone so she went there.

To the co-op?

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, I made us a nice dinner

and everything, you know?

And I was hoping to catch

some "democracy now,"

but then I realized that the

Simone?

Jean?

Jean.

Oh my god.

Morgan.

She fell.

She hit her head.

We should call an ambulance.

Yeah, I already did.

Put that down.

You look ridiculous.

Stop.

Stop. Leave her alone.

Don't you want to help her?

Give me that?

Get back.

What if I told you I

did kill those people?

Would that make you feel

better to have a way out?

She's gone now.

I know you didn't mean

to hurt me, but you did.

I still love you, Morgan.

And I know that you're scared.

No, I'm not.

We can be happy.

Please, stop.

Let's get fat and boring

and argue about nothing.

Let's finish each

other's sentences,

wear each other's clothes.

Let's be vulnerable together.

Morgan?

Jean?

Stay away.

What did you do?

Morgan?

I hurt some people.

It was self-defense.

Come on.

Did you even open the case file?

I, mean I flipped through.

At the very least, I

know she was threatened.

No, she

claims she was threatened.

But she had injuries.

Yeah, all

proven to be self-inflicted.

Look,

are there parts of her story

that I doubt?

Sure. But you could

say the same thing

for the eyewitness accounts.

Ok, now, I agree with you there.

Those were all pretty unclear.

But if you look at the

evidence, which for some reason

you're refusing to do...

I am not refusing.

I've just been a little...

Distracted, I know.

I'm not claiming

what she did was right.

I'm just saying, I

believe her when she

says she had no other choice.

Yeah, and what I'm saying

is that the facts

back up the victim.

There was no reason

for self-defense.

I think we should

poll the listeners on this one.

Ah, good idea.

Join us next time

to hear the results.

I'm Morgan.

And I'm Jean.

And we are...

"women who kill."
