The Book of Ruth2004

Policeman:
[siren wails in the background and men speak as the camera is trained on a beaten, traumatized Ruth] Who called it in?

Policeman 2:
A man across the way heard screams; said it wasn't the first time.

Policeman:
I need to see him. So, what do we got?

Policeman 2:
A dead body and a mute. [walks over to Ruth] Talk to me, Ruth. Those bruises are pretty bad. How'd you get those bruises, Ruth? What happened, Ruth?

Ruth:
[voiceover] I'm the only one that can tell the story from beginning to end. What it begins with is Maylene, my mother, and the lessons she taught me.
