2:00:02
She got mad at everything.
2:00:05
Even the baby
seemed to be an injustice to her.
2:00:09
He kept trying
to make everything all right for her.
2:00:11
Buy her things.
2:00:13
Take her out to dinner
once a week.
2:00:16
But nothing seemed
to satisfy her.
2:00:18
For two years,
2:00:20
He struggled to put them back together like
they were when they first met.
2:00:25
Finally, he knew
that it was never gonna work out.
2:00:31
So, he hit the bottle again.
2:00:33
But this time,
it got mean.
2:00:36
This time when he came home late at night,
2:00:39
she wasn't worried about him,
or jealous,
2:00:42
she was just enraged.
2:00:46
She accused him of holding her captive,
2:00:48
by making her have a baby.
2:00:52
She told him
that she dreamed about escaping.
2:00:55
That was all she dreamed about:
escape.
2:00:59
She saw herself at night,
running naked down a highway.
2:01:02
Running across fields,
2:01:04
running down river beds,
2:01:06
always running.
2:01:08
And always,
just as she was about to get away,
2:01:11
he'd be there.
2:01:13
He would stop her somehow.
2:01:16
He would just appeare and stop her.
2:01:21
And when she told him these dreams,
he believed them.
2:01:25
He knew she had to be stopped,
2:01:27
or she'd leave him forever.
2:01:30
So he tied a cowbell to her ankle,
2:01:32
so he could hear it at night
if she tried to get out bed.
2:01:36
But she learned how to muffle
the bell by stucking a sock into it
2:01:40
and inched her away out bed
2:01:43
and into the night.
2:01:46
He caught her one night,
when the sock fell out
2:01:48
and he heard her trying to
run out to the highway.
2:01:50
He caught her, dragged her back to the trailer and tied her to the stove
2:01:54
with his belt.
2:01:57
He just left her there,
2:01:59
he went back to bed
