Page "Freedomland (film)" Paragraph 10

Lorenzo takes her back to the police department and they talk.

Brenda then confesses she was having an affair with Billy, a man from the projects.

She would feed Cody cough syrup, to get him to sleep, so she could have sex with Billy without interruption.

On the night Billy ended the relationship, Cody wouldn't fall asleep and Brenda and Billy fought.

Brenda walked out to see him, despite her son's warnings that she would be sorry.

When she returned, she found Cody dead under the table.

He'd overdosed on the cough syrup.

When Brenda realized what happened, she lost it, not knowing what to do.

She drove out to the woods and dug his grave with her bare hands.

Then she called her ex-lover and asked him to help.

He carried Cody out there, buried him, and put the rocks over the grave-both as a tribute and to keep animals away.

Lorenzo signs an arrest warrant and both Brenda and Billy are taken away.
