Breaking at the Edge (2013)

Excuse me? ANNOUNCER (V.O.): What's up, Savannah? It's Captain Mack with your 8:00 o'clock six pack. Put it in the Christmas spirit with some Christmas jams. What's up? What's up? Ian? (DOOR CLOSES) Oy! Oy! Something smells delicious! Where's my big, beautiful baby? How is my little baby? Ravenously hungry. My, god, that makes three of us. Babe, did you get any beer? Yup, bottom shelf. And your mail is on the table. Mm, okay. By the way, there was something addressed to you as Cillian Wood. Wow, I haven't been called that since I was a kid. You know, I always thought it sounded like a lame 70's rock band. I think it's distinguished. So... there's been a development. Read it. They found my father's will. The old man came through and left everything to me and Zach. All of it. Baby, that's amazing! I mean, look at us, living like this. You know, he could have helped at any time, but he never did. Selfish prick. But he came through now. Yes, he did. So, now what happens? Now... go through probate, which, I don't know, hopefully shouldn't take too long. Yeah? Mm. Hey. What's the matter? I just... I thought you'd be happy? I am happy, I just... I don't want anything to go wrong. Baby, nothing's gonna go wrong. Okay? You're right. She's right. We'll be in a house of our own before the baby's born. You get these pains only in the morning? No, I'll get them all the time. It's like I'm being stabbed. Have you noticed any blood? No. Is everything okay, Doctor? The baby looks healthy. Good heart rate, good position in the uterus. You and the baby seem to be just fine. You're absolutely sure? Do you want to take a look? Yeah. No. You might peek between its legs. Spoil the surprise. What's the matter, babe? Ian, could I speak with your wife alone for a moment, please? Sure. It's okay. I love you. I love you, too. Here you go. So, talk to me. I'm so scared something's gonna go wrong again. It's normal to have these feelings after a miscarriage and Althea subsequent... problems. That's a nice way of putting it. Are you still taking the lithium? Yes, but I want to stop. You said there could be some risk. I have a feeling it's what's causing the pain and could be hurting the baby. We went through this when you first got pregnant. The risk is very, very slight. As long as the levels of lithium remain normal in your blood, you and the baby should be safe. But it is important that you stay on the medication. But I don't need it any more. My mind is fine, it's my body that's in pain. I understand that you feel that way... But coming off of it could trigger hallucinations and night terrors again and I don't... I don't care about myself. It's my baby that's important. Its health is only as good as yours. I want you to promise me that you're gonna keep taking the pills, okay? Okay. Good girl. B, you okay? Yeah. Just morning sickness? No, just pain. Pain... Little boy, little girl a little restless in there? It's a little different than last time, huh? Yeah, it is. You still okay to have lunch with my brother? Mm-hm. I'll be fine. And besides, I haven't seen Zach in ages and I haven't even met his girlfriend. Oh. What's she like? She's a little trashy, but he likes her. I'll give a minute. Such an interesting dish. What's it called again? Feijoada. I love it. It's delicious. It's Brazilian, very popular in the area I come from. It's made with pork ears and knees, sausage. Very strong food. Not too spicy for you, I hope. Honey, spicy is what I specialize in. Well, we never had it this good when we were kids, did we? Well, this is nice, it's real nice. When our old man moved us down here, Mom didn't really cook much. She seemed to only have time for pedicures and tennis lessons. So, were your parents good together or did they fight a lot? God, you ask the stupidest questions. Just get me another beer. Can we have a nice lunch, please? Here, have some more. No more pork ears for me. What about you, Lorena? Would you like some more? I better not. Yeah, she better not, because she's getting a little fat. He's crazy. You've got a terrific figure. Babe, you want some more? Yes, well, I'm eating for two. Yes, you are eating for two. So, do you guys know if you're having a boy or a girl yet? No, we wanted to keep it a surprise. Surprise. No, no, no, babe. You shouldn't, you shouldn't. I'm not drinking, I just want to propose a toast. Okay. What are we toasting to? Family, friends, the baby. All the usual stuff. Mm-hm. And of course, to great news. Cheers. What great news? Oh, didn't you hear? They found the will. The money's coming through, their dad left it all to them. Zach, you never told me that. Because it's none of your fucking business, and it's not official yet. It's not official. You okay? B, you okay? Yeah, I'm fine. Excuse me. She's my wife. (CLEARS THROAT) (GASPS) Zach said there's a pool. I brought my suit. Mind if I go for a swim? IAN (O.S.): All you do is antagonize her. Please, just lay off. No, I'll go with you. Hm. Sounds like Zach and Ian had a pretty lousy childhood. Yeah, their parents split up when they were teenagers. They never spoke to their father again. But he left them the money anyways? Weird. I don't know. In the end, it's family that counts. That's what Ian always says. Ian sure got all that charm. Zach acts all moody and angry bear most of the time. Yeah, I just heard him fighting with Ian upstairs. He was furious that Ian told me about the will, but why shouldn't I know they found it? It doesn't make sense. Beats me. Zach hates it when people ask him anything about his family. But I'm family, Lorena. Babe, we gotta call the plumber. The water's coming out all foggy. I know, babe. I keep meaning to call the plumber. Call the plumber, call the electrician, call everybody. Nothing works in this lousy place. So... Hm? Do you think Lorena is prettier than me? What? Baby, on a scale of like one to ten, you're like an eleven. She's like a two. Well, you said she had a terrific figure. My brother was being a jerk to her. I was trying to say something nice. Yeah, it was nice to have somebody to swim with. Yeah? Maybe she'll come over again? I think I'll ask her. Sure. You spend too much time alone. It'll be good to have a friend. (LOUD WHISPERING) CREATURE GIRL (O.S.): Come find me. You must find me. Well, where are you? Hey. Hm? Have you noticed a strange girl hanging under our building recently? What... what are you talking about? This girl, she keeps showing up. Something about her really creeps me out. Like she lives here? I don't know. What, like a kid? No, more like 20. Small, thin, kind of dark and dressed in black. Always wearing this weird make-up. Baby, this is that new TL I was telling you about. So we're safe, I want to get one of these. Ian. I'm listening. 20's, always dressed in black, super thin, crazy make-up. Well, she doesn't sound that terrifying. I'm just asking if you've seen her. I haven't seen her. Hey. Hey, baby, listen, I hate to hit you with this, but it's gonna be a late one over here. I'm not getting out of here any time soon. Ian, but you promised, no more late nights. Nothing I can do about it. I get so lonely here. I know, but I'll make it up to you, okay? You can count on it. Okay, I gotta go, babe. I love you. Bye. I live you... too. DR. GHOZLAND (V.O.): Without lithium, the hallucinations could intensify... And eventually overwhelm you. If you don't take your medication, we may have to hospitalize you. IAN (V.O.): Without medication, she may never recover. DR. GHOZLAND (V.O.): She lost the first pregnancy... IAN (V.O.): Bianca? Babe, you know where you are? DOCTOR (V.O.): Bianca, do you know where you are? The baby is not gonna make it. IAN (V.O.): The baby didn't make it. DOCTOR (V.O.): The good news is that this is a disease that can be treated. CREATURE GIRL (V.O.): Your baby will die. Ian? Ian? Babe, is that you? CREATURE GIRL (V.O.): Listen to me, Bianca. (ELEVATOR DOOR DINGING) (WHISPERING INTENSIFIES) VOICES (V.O.) Bianca, come with me. (WET FOOTSTEPS) (BABY CRYING) CREATURE GIRL (V.O.): Listen to me. Are you okay? It's okay. It's okay. Let's call the police. It's okay. You're okay. Come on. Come on, it's okay. I know what I saw, Ian. I think it was that girl who's been following me. So, what would she be doing in our house, Bianca? Look, look. There were footprints. They were here. So, do you want to call the cops? I guess there is no point. I'm worried about you. I'm fine. What is it? It's just with this baby. Things just haven't been the same between us since you got pregnant. Ssh. You want this... and god knows, I do, too. Look, babe, I do, I'm just worried about you. I'm concerned for your health. You mean my mental health, don't you? I want this child more than anything. Losing one was hard enough, I'm not gonna lose a second. You just gotta keep taking your pills, okay? Okay. DOCTOR (V.O.) If you continue to refuse the medication... We'll have no choice but to keep you institutionalized. What do you want? Why are you after me? Why are you after me?! Get away from me! CREATURE GIRL (V.O.): Your baby is dying. B? You're okay? B? Do you worry that I might go crazy again? Come here. You're gonna be fine. Just gotta keep taking them... your medication, okay? Are you doing okay in there? Yeah. Yeah, I'm almost done. Ian? He's that way. Thank you. Bianca? Bianca, wait! I was comforting her. That's what it's called now, comforting? She came into my office and she was sobbing, okay? She was going on and on about Zach, she was making a scene. The entire dealership, they were staring... You had your arms around her. Yes, I did. I had my arms around her, because she was hysterical. Look, he hit her, Bianca. He hit her. She was scared. I was trying to calm her down. What was I supposed to do? What was I supposed to do? Baby. Everything seems so... I just... I need you. You're always gonna have me. You're always gonna have me. Okay? Okay. I promise. ANNOUNCER (V.O.): We begin tonight with an update in a missing persons case... That we've been following for several days now. Police still desperately looking for 21-year-old Sara Randolph. ANNOUNCER #2 (V.O.): Randolph was last seen four days ago leaving her job... Ian! Ian! Yeah! BIANCA (O.S.): It's her. Who? The girl, she's on TV. Ian! What? What? What? The girl that's been following me, her picture was just on the news. She's missing. Why would a missing girl be following you? That's what I don't know, but it was her, I'm sure. Okay, so what do you want to do about it? I don't know, call the cops? You really want to call the cops? Well, if she's missing, isn't it my, what do you call it? Civic duty? Civic duty? Yeah, to report it. Um, yeah, it would be, but do you... do you really want to call the cops? I mean, does she ask you for help or anything? No, she didn't say anything. Okay, so why do you want to call the cops? What are they gonna send a bunch of detectives down here to help you deliver the baby? They may be good at Lamaze? No, they are not good with Lamaze. Well, but, if she keeps stalking me, then screw it, we're gonna call the cops. We're gonna call the cops. Okay. (DOOR CLOSES) You looking for the girl? Yeah. I wanted to see if she's come back yet. Where are you from, girl? The islands? Nicaragua? Brazil. Brazil? Like Rio de Janeiro, huh? Yeah, near Rio. Okay, Ms. Rio de Janeiro, you a friend of Sara's? Yes, I am. I don't think so. You're not the type. Wait! Do you live here? I own the place. Four above and a shop below. Please, please. Please, it's really important that I find Sara. I already told the cops everything I know. Please, sir, I... Hey, you like cats? No, not really. Well, me, neither, but your friend gave it to me. She's messed up, but she loves cats. She gave me this just before she disappeared. Why? Was she worried that something bad might happen to her? Take this cat off my hands here. Hold it. See? You take this cat off my hands and I'll tell you everything I told the cops. I can't bring home a cat. Well, that's too bad. Probably have to put the little sucker down. Okay, you've got a deal. Oh, what a lovely pussycat you are. Okay, the last time I saw Sara, she was looking for a lawyer. I thought she'd gotten into trouble again, she said... "No, man, not that kind of lawyer. I'm movin' up in the world." Then she gave me that cat to take care of. I don't know what she was thinking? She was always, you know... That's it? That's it. That's it. But, you know what? I'm gonna give you one of these to go with your cat. Merry Christmas. Take it, it's look good on the tree. Thank you. How much is it? Nothing. Thank you. You're welcome. Bye. We're gonna go home now, okay? Just let me get the key. Baby. Kitty! What's wrong? Excuse me, is this yours? Why are you following me? Detective Williams, Savannah Police. Why don't you and I grab a cup of coffee? Let's go. Does the name Sara Randolph mean anything to you? Yes. Yes, it does. Did she give you the earring? No. Did you visit her the night she disappeared? No. So you can tell me why your car was seen... In front of her apartment building the night she disappeared? I have no idea. You didn't drive to her apartment that night? No, I did not. Here we go. I'll be back. How do you describe the relationship between you and your husband and Miss Randolph? There is no relationship. We don't know her. You recognize this place? Yes, it's Ian's family's house in Hilton Head. This is Ian, Zach, their parents. And do you know who these people are? No, I don't. Sara Randolph and her mother Elsa, the housekeeper. Elsa was the housekeeper for the family for over 20 years. She was fired. She moved to Atlanta and died soon after. Your husband never told you about this? No, Ian doesn't talk about his childhood. His mother is dead and he was estranged from his father. They never talked, not even before his dad died. You know nothing about Sara? No. Yet, when I mentioned her name, you recognized it. I saw her picture on the news. I felt... bad for her. That's it? Yes. That's it. And the earring? You know she had one just like that, right? I saw it in a store yesterday. It attracted me. I don't know, maybe I remember seeing it on her? On her? On a picture on the news. I'm tired, I want to go home now. I'll drive you back. Mrs. Wood, what are you so afraid of? You can tell me. I don't know what you're talking about. You sure? Yes, I'm sure. Mrs. Wood, most people in this city wouldn't care about someone like Sara Randolph. Poor, daughter of a maid, she might as well not exist. Well, maybe we're not most people. Good luck with the baby. It's a blessing. Hey! There you are. Kitty! Come back here! Kitty! Wait! I know who you are! BIANCA (O.S.): Please, I want to talk to you. Hey! Wait, please! CAPTAIN (O.S.): All aboard! Wait! Please wait! Wait, please! I just want to talk to you. CREATURE GIRL (V.O.): Come to me. Come closer. Closer. Let there be light. Hey! So, good news on the probate. Got a court order to evict the tenants. What the hell is going on? What are you talking about? I'm your wife, about to have a child together. If something is wrong, you have to trust me enough to tell me. Okay, what do you mean? Sara Randolph? What? Don't. The police showed me a photo of you, Zach and Sara. Sorry, I haven't heard Sara Randolph's name in years. She was the maid's kid. Why are the police showing you a photo of her? She's the missing girl, the one who's been following me. What? Yeah, and I think she's dead. How can she be following you if she's dead? She led me to this terrible place, it was awful. She's dead. How can she lead you anywhere, Bianca? It was her ghost. I saw her. She wants something from me. I don't know what. I don't know why she's chosen me. Maybe because you knew her when you were kids, she feels she can trust me. Okay, Bianca. Bianca, you taking your medication? This has nothing to do with that. When did you stop taking it? It doesn't matter! When!? I started getting the pains, I thought the meds were hurting the baby. Oh, my god. You are imagining these things. Okay? You're having hallucinations again. I know what I saw. It was real. You think it seems real, but what you saw does not exist. It's just like after the miscarriage. That's why they put you on the meds in the first place. Now you gotta start taking them. Right away, or they're gonna put you back in the psych ward. I've started taking them again. Good, because we don't want the police to take you away from our baby. They can't do that. You don't let them. I may not have a choice, if you're talking like this. Because ghosts do not exist. You gotta stop talking like this, okay? You gotta knock this shit off, for all of our sakes. Ian, I'm so scared. What's wrong with me? It's okay. It's gonna be okay. Come on. Come on. I'll go make you some tea. Drink this. Just take a little more. Come on, take a bit more. Ian... our car was outside Sara's apartment the night she disappeared. Our car... Ian? What? What's wrong? Where am I? That's very funny. Stop! What? What? What? You're hurting me. What? Oh, my god, I just had the strangest dream. I was pregnant with our child... Don't get any ideas, babe. I don't need any more pregnant women in my life, all right? I don't feel very well. What? I don't feel well. Hey! Where you going? IAN (O.S.): What are you doing? Come back to bed. IAN (O.S.): Lorena! Ian? Ian, you son of a bitch! What? You've been screwing her! What? What? Stop! Stop! How could you? Stop! I saw you having sex with Lorena! Stop! I've been sleeping on the couch. Stop! Stop! You had a bad dream. You had a bad dream. Stop. You had a bad dream. You're okay. Come on, let's go back to bed. Okay. Let's go back to bed. CREATURE GIRL (V.O.): You must do what I say. CREATURE GIRL (V.O.): Do what I say, then you won't die. I let all my tenants store their stuff down here. This was hers. Let's see if her key fits. Are you sure this is okay? I don't want to get you in trouble. Well, the police made me keep everybody out of her apartment. They should have been more specific. What are you looking for? I'm not sure. Hey. What's this? My daughter, Sara Marie Randolph. Not what you expected, huh? IAN (O.S.): If you didn't tell her, how the fuck does she know? Beats me, maybe you talk in your sleep. I'm just glad she finally knows. She doesn't. I convinced her she was imagining things. Well, you gotta tell her sometime. I'm not gonna wait around much longer. No. No. This was a mistake, Lorena. Oh, hm, it didn't seem like a mistake. Not from the way you were screaming with joy. You never had it like that before, did you, honey? You know, you can have some of that every night for the rest of your life. You know, I can't stand another minute with your bastard brother. And you can't tell me you want to go back to that foreign nut job. Well, if you don't tell her about us, I will. Ow! Shut your fucking mouth! What's going on? Zach! What are you doing home, honey? Got some things I need to talk to my brother about. What kind of things? Just shut up, you fucking whore! Get in the bedroom. Fuck you! Get in the fucking room! Hey! Get the fuck in the bedroom, you goddamn... So what's going on between you two? You fucking her? Huh? Nothing. You're always getting worked up over nothing. Just like you are with these cops. Nothing? The cops got us tied to Sara. So what? What's the matter, huh? Because your fucking wife is shouting her big, fucking mouth off! She's seeing ghosts. You think anybody's gonna listen to what she says right now? Yeah. If the lawyer walks off the deal, we're fucked! So you either shut her up or I will! Don't you threaten my wife. Fuck you, Ian. We're not kids any more, Zach. Yeah, we're not. I'll bash your fucking head in! Then you keep all the money, brother? Hello? Bianca, we've gotta meet somewhere. I've got lots to tell you. It's okay, you don't have to talk, just listen. Ian's leaving you for me. (SPEAKING PORTUGUESE) Speak English, I can't understand a word... I said you are a tramp. Oh, Ian and I are out of here just as soon as the money comes through. There is no money! They've been lying all along. (LOUD CRASH) I found the real will. Everything was left to Sara, their half-sister. They forged the new one. What Ian said about you... Lorena? Lorena? Lorena? Lorena? I could be wrong about your husband. The story he's telling is very convincing. He's here? Next room down. He's being very cooperative. According to him, you were jealous of Lorena. You accused him of having an affair. Made a few threats. Not threats... He says you've gone off your meds and that's made you imagine things. Are you on lithium right now or not? Yes. Yes, you are? Yes. No. No, you're not. Are you okay? I get these pains, that's why. That's why what? It's nothing. Okay. According to your phone records... You were in the Savannah Gardens area when you got a call from Lorena. Now that's Sara Randolph's neighborhood. Is it? Look, I told you I had nothing to do with Sara. Am I a suspect? Do I need a lawyer? Because if not, I'd like to go. Look, I don't know what kind of games you and your husband are up to. But if I were you, I'd be very careful. I got two people dead and don't want another and I still got a pregnant girl missing. Pregnant? Yeah, Sara Randolph was three months pregnant when she disappeared. Please. Leave my baby alone. Okay, come on. Have mercy! Don't you touch me! I'm gonna make you disappear. I'm gonna make you go away forever. Yeah, right. Kill Ian Wood. Kill Ian Wood. Just Bianca... kill Ian Wood or your baby will die. Ecclesiastes: For who can say what is good for a person in his life... During the few and meaningless days he passes through like a shadow? All go to the same place; all come from dust... And it is to dust that we shall all return. Naked comes a man from his mother's womb, and as he so comes, so he will depart. Who will tell him what is to come? Not one of us has power over the wind to contain it. And so not one of us has power over the day of his death. Of the son of the Holy Spirit. Amen. CREATURE GIRL (V.O.): Listen to me. This is your last chance. Kill Ian Wood. It's time to go, Bianca. Let's go. No. I won't go with you. Excuse me? I'm afraid of what I might do to you. Get in the car. No, I have to go somewhere safe for my baby. Far away from all of you. Get in the fucking car. I know everything. I saw the real will. Sara was your half-sister. Your father left her everything. And you killed her for the money. You killed your brother, too. Where is it? Where's the fucking will? (GIRL LAUGHING) You're such a fool. I'll never let you get away. It hurts, huh? Why should you get a baby when I can't? This is your last warning. Your baby is dying. Relax. She's gonna take my baby. No one's trying to get your baby. Breathe, Bianca. Breathe. Try to relax. (EKG BEEPING) We're dropping. We have to turn it around. (SCREAMING) She's hemorrhaging. Relax, Bianca. Just breathe. Bianca, wake up! I was bleeding. We stopped it. You're very lucky. The baby? She's fine. She? Oh, Bianca, I'm so sorry. I completely forgot. Don't worry... I knew it would be a girl. You kept saying someone was trying to take her from you. Who do you think that is? You can't tell Ian that I'm here. My life depends on it. This is gonna sound crazy. I know I've had my problems in the past, but you have to believe me. It's true. You're gonna be okay. I brought you a change of clothes. Ian? We're going to release her into your care for now... But you have to make sure she takes the lithium. Otherwise, she won't stop having hallucinations and terrors. And then god knows what could happen to her, and the baby. I understand. I'll make sure she keeps taking it. Thank you. Open the fucking door! I can't take this any more. Please forgive me. Please help me. I'll do whatever you want. Please? SARA (V.O.): I'll make it better now. But see what they did to me. They were so cold. My baby woke me. Oh, jeez! How the fuck is she alive? She's still alive. SARA (V.O.): They were my brothers. I begged them. Stand back. SARA (V.O.): I begged them for my baby, not for me. I begged them not to kill my baby. But they didn't listen. They didn't listen! You have to make it right. You have to avenge my baby. (PHONE RINGS) Bianca? Where are you? I'm here, where you killed Sara. I have the will with me. If you don't come, I'll go to the police. I'm coming. Jesus Christ! You're out of your goddamn mind. She said I have to do to you the same thing you did to her. Don't do this, Bianca. Don't do this. Don't do this, Bianca, please, I goddamn beg you, please do not do this. If I don't do it, she wants to take my baby. Please don't, I goddamn beg you, don't do this! Don't do this! Just please, stop! I'm begging you, stop! Just stop okay? I didn't have a choice. I did this for us. I did it for the baby. No, you didn't. I loved you. I gave up everything for you. I didn't need any money. I thought we were happy. I just wanted us to have a family. And you came and ruined everything. I'm sorry. You stupid, fucking bitch! Do you think I wanted any of this? Do you think I wanted to kill her? I tried to talk to her. I tried to get her to understand what they did to us. That the money belonged to us. She didn't understand. You... had to go digging. You couldn't just let the broad stay dead? Where's the will? Where's the fucking will?! Help me! Help me! There's no one here to help you! There's nothing there! Where's the will? You promised! IAN (O.S.): The fucking will! You killed my baby. No, Bianca, don't! No! The gruesome story continues to unfold... Since last night's discovery under the pier by the Savannah River. 31-year-old Ian Wood was killed during a confrontation involving his wife Bianca and police. Ian was a prime suspect in three murders, including that of his half-sister Sara Randolph. His wife, Bianca Wood, five months pregnant... Was also wounded and remains in critical condition, though is expected to survive. Police tell WTOC they found body parts under the pier... And have confirmed that they are in fact Sara Randolph's. A spokesman for the police department says they think... We have a gunshot wound to her left shoulder, a 24-year-old, contusions to the face. Officers believe that she was assaulted... possibly assaulted by her husband. Baby is stable. All his vitals look good. Bianca? Do you know where you are right now? Bianca? SARA (V.O.): Bianca, see what I can see. DOCTOR MAUER (O.S.): Hi, Bianca, I'm Dr. Mauer. We're gonna take care of you now. Everything is gonna be all right. The baby is fine. |
