1:05:02
now the light had faded.
1:05:04
They trudged up Elm Street in disappointment.
1:05:12
- Tom?
- Hi, Grace.
1:05:14
There were some cars, but it's too dark,
we can't see any more.
1:05:19
We haven't seen much of each other.
1:05:22
Yah, I know. I've been busy
with my book, you know.
1:05:25
Can I ask you something?
1:05:27
Yeah, anything.
1:05:32
You couldn't bring yourself
to throw it away, could you?
1:05:37
The number he gave you that night.
You couldn't throw it away.
1:05:40
I told yhou how dangerous that man was.
That was stupid.
1:05:51
[Narrator] Stupid or not, Tom was soon
a passionate spokesman for locking Grace
in her shed that night.
1:05:59
If the vehicles were indeed a sign
that the call Tom had placed five days earlier
1:06:03
on be half of the community to the number
indicated on the card from his bureau drawer
1:06:08
had at last led to action,
1:06:10
and Grace was now to be eliminated from their lives,
1:06:13
it would surely look good
if the town had also locked her up.
1:06:19
Grace was lying on the bed
when Jason was sent up with the key.
1:06:23
Grace heard it turn in the lock,
1:06:26
but she was deeply absorbed by arguments
and thoughts on matters she had otherwise
avoided for the best part of a
year now.
1:06:52
From the moment when they'd finally heard
the sound of vehicles starting one after the other
1:06:56
from the direction of the edge of the woods,
1:06:58
things had moved rapidly.
