:30:01
She's blind
and can't move her left side very well.
:30:05
She had a stroke.
:30:07
I'm sorry to hear that.
:30:10
You live back East?
:30:15
I was visiting an old friend.
:30:17
She needed me.
:30:20
Sick, was she?
Course, it's none of my business.
:30:28
She left her husband.
:30:32
He was a horrible man. He used to beat her.
:30:35
- No!
- It started right after their honeymoon.
:30:38
At first he was charming, tender.
But it all changed.
:30:43
He said if she left him he would punish her,
and he meant it.
:30:46
His punishments were terrible.
:30:50
He would never let her go.
Said he could find her anywhere.
:30:54
Couldn't she call the police?
:30:57
Well, she did.
She called them, and a lawyer too.
:31:00
They said she could make a citizen's arrest,
get a restraining order. It was pathetic.
:31:08
Well, how did she leave?
:31:14
She risked everything.
:31:17
Escaped.
:31:19
Started a new life.
:31:26
Brave girl.
:31:31
She thinks she's a coward.
:31:35
A coward?
:31:39
Not a girl like that.
:31:46
How long did you stay with him?
:31:52
Too long.
:31:56
Three years, seven months,
