The Unspoken Truth

He loves me.

Is that why he hit you?

Out of love.

You don't understand.

I've been with him half my life.

He was the only one.

We had fun together.

We really did.

I kept thinking I was doing something wrong

and I could just get it right, he would stop.

Did he?

Well...

Afterwards, he'd always...

Apologize.

And things would be happy...

For a while.

Weren't you scared he'd hit Lily?

Never.

Clay has his faults.

But he's a good father.

He loves her.

Just like he loves you?

No!

He would never hurt her.

Never!

I should've killed him.

Okay, all right. Here she comes.

Whoo!

You're late!

Cleary sisters are always late!

You're late. You're late.

The Cleary sisters are always late.

Sit, Lily.

All right, well, don't forget...

Lily, come on, lets go.

I'm sure the entire congregation heard my stomach growling.

Be patient, dad,

I've to check out for eligible bachelor.

The only eligible bachelor left is Father Porter.

You should've listened to Da when he told it was a sin to get divorced.

Mommy?Lily.

I got it, Brianne.Your thug is here.

Don't start.

You know he's been havin' a tough time.

Nobody's filled in right now. He's been out looking every day.

Looking for what?

Oh, Brianne, come on, it's Sunday dinner.

It's been a long time since we were all together.

I'll ask.

Hi, baby.

You wanna come to dinner tonight, honey?

I thought we'd spend some time alone together tonight.

Maybe go out.

Mommy?

Daddy!Hey, baby. How you doing?

Where are we going?

Well, you are gonna spend the night with granny.

And your mother and I are gonna paint the town red tonight.

Can I stay with aunt Margaret instead?

She'll bring her home in the morning.

I think she should stay at my mother's.

I'll see you at the house.

Smile at your sister's husband.

Lay off, Da, he's an accident waiting to happen.

I seem to remember saying the same thing about another young man

some 20 odd years ago.

You were wrong then.

And you're wrong now.

Your mother, God rest her, didn't think so.

Now you be good with granny.

She's always good.

Spit-spot on the outside, spit-spot on the inside. Right, Lily?

Yes, granny.

You just listen to what she says, okay?

Mom, you'll come and get me first thing in the morning?

Real early, we'll have breakfast together, okay, peanut?

Come on, Brianne!

What's wrong with you?

She can stay at your sister's next time, I promise.

Hey, I know you.

Brianne.Mmm-hmm.

You work at the PNC coat shop in the mall.

Sales girl, right?Assistant manager now.

Well, congratulations.

Thanks!

Hey, why don't we have a dance and celebrate that promotion?

I'm here with my husband.

Hey, I'd rather dance with you.

Hey!

Come on, man.

What's going on?One sec, go inside.

No, I wanna stay. It's fine.

What can we do about this?"What can we do about this"?

Anyone can see, you'll never be man enough for Brianne.

There's nobody that's gonna...

Whoa!

Outta my way.

You promised you'd dance!

Clay!

Clay.

You're acting like a jerk, come on!

Stop it!

What are you doing?

Just forget about it, Clay.

He's not worth it.

Clay, we can still have a good time, come on!

Nothing happened. I just wanna dance.

Don't do this!

Hey, Modell!

Over here.

Come here!

I got a little unfinished business to take care of with this guy.

Some body call the cops!

Shut up! Shut up!

What did you do?

Shut up!

Shut up and look at me!

Shut up!

Stick your hands out the window where I can see it now!

Open the door and step outside. Now!

Get out the truck slowly. Put your hands out where I can see 'em!

Back towards me.

All right, look at me!

Put your hands on the window.

All right, now, come out of the truck.

Slowly.

Up against the truck.

You wont believe what's happened.

Clay's been arrested. They say he killed a guy.

Was Bree with him?

They took her to the hospital.

Oh, God.

Is she okay?

She started hyperventilating or something.

Da is going down to get her now.

I don't know, let me ask him.

No, no, no. The answer is no.

Brianne is my daughter and I'll take care of her myself.

You stick your nose in too many times as it is now.

You wanna do some good?

You go find Lily and bring her home to our family.

Son of a bitch.

What?

Clay again?No.

My father.

He can be such a damn bully sometimes.

What happened?

Hawkins is finally in jail.

If we're lucky, maybe they'll keep him there forever.

Oh, Brianne.

I was so scared.

Come on, girl.

Put this on.

If you're not going to be eating these sausages, Brianne, I wouldn't mind.

Sure, Da.

You're not helping his cholesterol any, Brianne.

It's only one sausage.
