July.
:55:03
Ken was away on a business trip,
and Patrick was staying with my mother.

:55:07
I was alone.
:55:09
Forget it, Maggie. I've no right to know.
:55:12
But you have to know, don't you?
:55:17
It was very hot that day.
:55:19
I was sitting out front when a truck went by.
:55:23
The driver waved and he smiled at me.
And I smiled back.

:55:26
- He was the driver?
- Yes, he was the driver.

:55:30
He came back the next night.
:55:32
I was ironing and he rang the doorbell
and asked for a glass of water.

:55:35
He said he was thirsty.
:55:38
I didn't see any harm in it,
so he came in and he stayed awhile.

:55:43
I was so grateful to have someone to talk to.
:55:47
So we talked.
:55:48
He said he was driving the truck
for his father.

:55:50
- They had a rug-cleaning business.
- So what happened?

:55:53
He kissed me.
:55:56
We were standing at the door,
saying good night.

:55:59
Suddenly he grabbed me.
:56:02
He was trembling all over like a baby.
:56:05
What are we making such a fuss about?
:56:08
There's more, Larry.
:56:12
I got ready for bed after he left.
:56:15
I was in bed when the phone rang.
It was him.

:56:19
He said he was coming over.
:56:22
I told him he was crazy, that I was in bed,
that I'd call the police.

:56:27
- But he said he was coming over.
- Why didn't you call the police?

:56:33
I have a young son.
:56:38
I locked all the doors instead.
:56:41
- Then I took some sleeping pills and l...
- Sleeping pills?

:56:44
When you knew he was on his way,
you took sleeping pills?

:56:47
I wanted to sleep. I wanted to hide.
:56:54
Go ahead.
:56:59
I was almost asleep
when I heard his car pull up.
