Cries in the Dark

MAKE SURE YOU FIGURE ON ABOUT...

5,000 FOR CLOSING COSTS.

IT WON'T BE THAT MUCH,

BUT I'D RATHER OVERESTIMATE TO KEEP YOU ON THE SAFE SIDE.

MM-HMM.

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

AND IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS, ANYTHING,

JUST CALL ME, AND WE'LL WORK THROUGH IT,

SO THIS IS AS STRESS-FREE AS WE CAN MAKE IT.

OKAY.

GREAT.

BYE-BYE.

: SURE.

OF COURSE THE ESCROW PAPERS

WILL GET THERE TODAY.

I JUST SAID THAT.

SO, DO WE HAVE A DEAL, THEN?

EXHALE.

THANK YOU.

LISTEN, I'VE GOT TO GET TO THE BANK.

SOMEBODY SCREWED UP OVER THERE.

I'M SUPPOSED TO SHOW THE KIMBERLY HOUSE

IN 20 MINUTES.

CAN YOU COVER ME?

HONEY, YOU KNOW I HAVE A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT TODAY,

AND THEN I'M SUPPOSED TO BE MEETING A NEW CLIENT HERE

BEFORE I GO.

RIGHT.

NEVER MIND.

LOVE YOU.

LOVE YOU, TOO.

CONWELL REALTY.

HELLO?

HELLO? WHO IS THIS?

HELLO?

MR. DAVIS?

RIGHT.

WE...

WE HAD AN APPOINTMENT.

COME ON IN.

LET ME SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES

OF THE PLACE I MENTIONED.

SO, YOU'RE NEW IN TOWN, MR. DAVIS?

YEAH, BRAND NEW.

WHERE FROM?

OH...

EVERYWHERE.

JUST LOOKING TO RELAX, KIND OF START FRESH.

GREAT.

WELL, THE THING I LOVE MOST

ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PLACE

IS IT'S JUST...

10 MINUTES FROM THE CITY CENTER.

HOW FAR ALONG?

ABOUT 10 MINUTES,

DEPENDING ON HOW FAST YOU WANT TO DRIVE IT.

NO, I MEANT THE...

THE BABY.

HOW FAR ALONG?

UM...

WE'RE IN OUR LAST MONTH.

LET ME SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES

OF THE KITCHEN.

"WE"?

MY HUSBAND AND I.

TELL HIM HE'S A LUCKY GUY.

I WILL.

GOOD.

UH, MAYBE WE SHOULD WRAP THIS UP.

I HATE TO RUSH YOU OR ANYTHING,

BUT I HAVE A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT.

I WAS JUST GETTING TO LIKE THIS PLACE.

WELL, WE'RE OPEN TO OFFERS.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WERE MARRIED.

JOKE.

JOKE. OF COURSE.

THAT'S FUNNY.

ACTUALLY, I'M MORE INTERESTED IN RENTING.

NOT THAT I COULDN'T AFFORD TO BUY.

JUST...

YOU KNOW, SOMETHING...

LESS OF A COMMITMENT.

I'M SORRY.

I COULD HAVE SWORN I'D WRITTEN YOU DOWN AS A BUYER.

NO WORRIES.

WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES.

I WON'T TELL YOUR BOSS.

I AM MY BOSS.

OH, WELL, THEN...

YOU ALREADY KNOW.

UM, I'M SORRY, BUT I NEED TO LOCK UP.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN PREGNANT.

DOES YOUR CHIEF KNOW

THAT YOU JUST RANDOMLY PULL PEOPLE OVER?

YOU COULD FILE A COMPLAINT.

I JUST DID.

ARE YOU GOING TO THE DOCTOR?

I MIGHT BE.

YOU GOING TO BE ABLE TO PULL YOURSELF AWAY FROM WORK

TO COME AND HAVE DINNER WITH YOUR LITTLE SISTER?

NOT SO LITTLE.

OH, SHUT UP.

I GOT YOU SOMETHING.

SPECIAL ORDER.

"LOVES AND LIKES YA. CARRIE."

I HAVEN'T HEARD THAT SINCE WE WERE KIDS.

I KNOW, I KNOW.

SHE STILL KICKING LIKE CRAZY?

OH, CONSTANTLY.

MIGHT MAKE A COP OUT OF HER YET.

OH, I'M SURE MOM WOULD LOVE THAT.

OH...

OH, YEAH, SHE'D LOVE IT.

THANKS.

SO...

7:00 TONIGHT, RIGHT?

YEAH.

IT MIGHT JUST BE ME AND YOU.

SCOTT'S STILL--

BEING A WORKAHOLIC

AND STRESSING OUT ABOUT IT?

MAYBE.

I COULD GO KICK SOME SENSE INTO HIM FOR YOU.

NO, YOU JUST GO BACK TO DOING WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU DO.

REALLY.

IF YOU GET SASSY WITH ME,

I'M GOING TO HAVE YOUR CAR TOWED.

I'LL SEE YOU TONIGHT.

OKAY.

HI.

WE GET ANY BIGGER, WE'RE GOING TO EXPLODE.

UM...

ROSA, RIGHT?

RIGHT.

LAST TIME I WAS HERE.

MY DOCTOR'S IN THE SAME BUILDING.

OF COURSE, WE WERE BOTH

IN A BIT OF A DIFFERENT SHAPE THEN.

HOW IS THAT?

OH, YOU KNOW, I'VE ACTUALLY READ IT BEFORE,

A FEW MONTHS AGO,

BUT MY SISTER JUST GAVE ME ANOTHER COPY.

HUH.

I THOUGHT I'D READ

EVERY PRENATAL BOOK PRINTED.

OH, IT'S A GOOD ONE.

SO HOW'S EVERYTHING GOING?

WHEN ARE YOU DUE?

ANYTIME NOW.

BRAND NEW BABY GIRL, NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

WOW.

THAT SOON.

WELL, THE SOONER THE BETTER, I MEAN, AT THIS POINT, RIGHT?

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

OH, WE'LL PROBABLY END UP

SHARING THE SAME CAB TO THE HOSPITAL.

COULD I BORROW THIS?

UM...

WELL, IT WAS A GIFT FROM MY SISTER.

WELL, NO, I'LL GET IT RIGHT BACK TO YOU.

YOU COULD JUST...

YOU COULD JUST PUT YOUR ADDRESS

RIGHT THERE.

WE'RE READY FOR YOU, MRS. CONWELL.

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BABY.

YOURS TOO.

READ 'EM AND WEEP, BOYS.

BAM.

VANDALISM UNDER 500. BEAT THAT.

DRUNK AND DISORDERLY, ENDING IN DETAINMENT.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA. LET ME SEE THAT.

HOW COME YOU ALWAYS GET OL' JIM?

THAT'S THE WAY IT IS.

GRAND THEFT AUTO!

OUT-OF-STATE PLATES.

OH, NO, SHE DIDN'T.

YEAH!

NICE WORK.

YEAH, "FOR A GIRL," RIGHT?

NICE WORK FOR ANYONE.

GAMBLING IS ILLEGAL IN THIS STATE.

OH, COME ON.

YOU DIDN'T DO THIS WHEN YOU WERE ON BEAT?

I'M STILL ON BEAT,

AND I STILL UPHOLD THE LAW.

OKAY. YES, SIR.

I NEED YOU TO DROP BY THE PROCLAMATION MOTEL.

SEX OFFENDER, AGGRAVATED RAPIST,

JUST RELOCATED HERE.

JUST LET HIM KNOW WE'RE WATCHING.

I JUST GOT OFF SHIFT, THOUGH, AND I'M ALREADY LATE FOR DINNER.

JUST DRIVE BY.

IT'S ON YOUR WAY.

DINNER?

ANYONE I KNOW?

YEAH, MY LITTLE SISTER.

OH.

CAN I GO NOW, MR. PROTECT-AND-SERVE?

YES, YOU MAY. OKAY.

HEY, I'LL DRIVE BY THE MOTEL FOR YOU.
