A Stone in the Water (2019) - full transcript

♪ Thou hast told me to say ♪

♪ It is my soul me to sing ♪

♪ It is well, ever rose ♪

Miss Comstock, the boy.

We need to stop Jake.

You've been saying
that a while now.

I mean it.

You're all the same.

I mean it Jake, we're done.

You mean until next time?

No done, like we never started.



But we did,

and we wouldn't want
a certain somebody

to find out about it.

How would that happen?

I don't know.

Loose lips.

That's headed this way.

It's headed to my place.

Don't, please baby, die.

No, let me do it.

Tommy, Tommy, come
on baby talk to me.

Talk to me.

Okay, okay, we got it.

Tommy, come on baby, talk to me.



How'd he get in the pond?

I thought you were watching him?

No, I was in the fields.

You were supposed
to come get him.

Tommy.

Tommy, Tommy, Tommy,
talk to me, baby.

Tommy?

Come on.

Tommy, baby.

Please, don't.

It has nothing to
do with you, Grace.

Please Martha, you promised.

He did this, right?

I forgive you, Grace.

But I can't forgive him.

I know about you and grace.

She told me everything.

Everything, huh?

Enough.

She tell you what it's
like to be married

to a church mouse with
a shoe-leather pussy?

When Tommy was drowning, you
were screwing my best friend

when you should've
been here with him.

Our son may never
even learn to read.

What do you want me
to do about that?

You put it on me, you
sick son of a bitch.

You got a retarded
child, go tend to him.

May God have mercy on you, Jake.

If God had any mercy,

he would have left
that boy in the water.

What the fuck?

I feel sick.

Where are we going?

Brother's, a
couple hours from here.

The ex con?

He's got a place we can stay.

Loser.

What'd you say?

Another loser.

You two have
something in common.

You were lucky.

I hear your horn.

Drive too fast.

Tom.

Alex.

Thank you.

There was a man driving,
you didn't see him?

Maybe he fall in the river.

Jesus.

I need to go look for him.

Can't go out now.

Storm is bad.

You rest now, okay?

We'll look for him tomorrow.

Yeah, okay.

Ok...

Hey, where are you going?

My mom friend house.

Don't you have a car?

Stay here, I come back soon.

I'm Alex, thank you
so much for coming.

Are you okay?

Yeah, but my friend was with me

and I need to find him.

I'm grace, get
in the car, we'll go.

Jesus, you
carried me all this way?

I walk through the
woods, it's not so far.

Well, it looks like you're going
have to take the bus home.

I think your friend gone.

I'm sorry.

It's chilly, let's go
to my house for coffee.

His mom is visiting her sister,

but she'll be back tonight.

The service in this
house is really bad.

You'd have better luck
with the landline.

Hi, this is
Vi, I can't talk right now, bye.

I don't mean to sound
ungrateful, but I should go.

Well, what about your friend?

He lucked out.

He called someone and
they came and got him.

Are you all right?

Yeah, yeah.

You said there's a bus station?

Oh yeah, in town.

We'll get your stuff.

It's a good thing,
Tommy was out there.

I didn't hear a thing.

What's wrong with him?

Fell in pond when he
was little, almost died.

But he does just fine.

He looks after both our places.

What about his father?

Oh, he took off ages ago.

Stupid piece of shit.

Who takes care of him?

His mom and me.

We've been friends
forever,

through the best and
the worst of it.

Is there anything
I can do to thank him?

Oh, don't make a fuss.

We keep to ourselves.

If you want to catch
that bus we got to go.

So how long have you been
working behind the bar?

Doing this?

Uh, wow, Since I was like five.

Yeah, I took a
class in Montessori.

Hey, what's up?

Where's Alex?

She didn't show up.

She didn't even call.

I think that she had this thing

that came up with her boyfriend.

Bree, please don't
fire her, please.

Not until we figure
out what happened?

What happened?

Have you seen Frank?

No.

Where's your car.

Wrecked.

Okay, let me take you home.

No.

I can't.

You see this?

What's this?

He was a fence,
shop was a front.

I know this guy, Frank used

to sell him all of
his gambling take.

Yeah, a lot of stuff
that was hot too.

They were partners for awhile.

But lately it wasn't
going to well.

That ones worth
at least three K.

Maybe if it wasn't hot,
best I can do is 900.

Last week Frank heard a rumor

that he took in a
big haul of diamonds

and gold, some
inside job in L.A.

So Tuesday Frank arranged for me

to stop by his place
after he closed.

Jason?

You there?

Around back, come to the gate.

Hey.

Something wrong?

No, it's, I've never
been down here before.

It's just a place,
for special people.

Um...

Frank wanted you to
hold on to these.

He's off playing pool somewhere

and he didn't want
them around the house.

So where'd they come from?

I don't know.

I never know.

Is that all you got for me?

Well, actually Frank said

you could show me
some nice jewelry.

My birthday's coming up.

Okay, kiddo.

You got any diamonds?

Sure.

They're a bit out
of Frank's range.

It couldn't hurt
to look could it?

I mean, we could do a deal.

Sure.

What the hell are you doing?

Hey got off!

Let go!

Stop, let go!

Nice work honey.

You shot him.

Yeah I did.

He never open the safe for me.

He's dead Frank.

Yeah, but look what he left us.

You didn't say you
were gonna kill him.

Didn't say I wasn't.

And then we crashed.

And this guy came out of nowhere
and saved my worthless ass.

But Frank was gone.

Best case scenario,
somewhere in the river.

And what about the jewelry?

Stashed.

I didn't want to
get caught with it.

I didn't know what
happened to Frank,

but what if the cops had him?

Vi, we murdered a guy.

No you didn't.

I set him up.

No, it doesn't
matter who did what.

You need to get out of town.

Okay, you're the only
witness to this thing

and if Frank is alive.

I know.

After the robbery he was ice.

I think the plan
was to take me out

to the woods and get rid of me.

Well, hopefully
you'll never find out.

I'll lay low for a few days.

If Frank doesn't show I'll
get the stash and run.

Mexico, Argentina, Chile...

as far as I can.

Hey, you're safe here.

Okay?

Give me your phone.

I'm going to get you a
new phone and a new number

and you don't go anywhere
unless you absolutely have to.

Oh shit.

See you survived the storm.

Tom is a real hero, and that
is the truth of the pudding.

Well, I'm not even a
little bit surprised.

He's made of strong stuff.

What was she like, the girl?

Nice, a little
on the nervous side.

The accident really
shook her up.

She was pretty?

She couldn't say
enough good things about Tom.

Well hardly anybody
meets our boy

doesn't fall in love with him.

Well you had quite
the adventure.

I go for a walk in the rain.

You like the rain.

So, uh...

then you found this girl?

I bring her home, she
have to sleep here.

How'd you get the blouse?

She leave it,
cause it ripped.

You're my special boy.

You've always been
my special boy.

I love you so much.

How much do I love you?

Big as the sky.

As big as the sky.

And the moon, and all the stars.

Okay, to bed, to bed.

Our father who art in heaven.

Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day,
our daily bread

and forgive us, our trespasses.

As we forgive those
who trespass against us

and lead us, not
into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For ours...

If there's anything I can do.

Sam, leave me be.

Reverend, reverend.

Tell me this.

How could God do this?

He was such a good boy.

He was only good, he
never hurt anyone,

he never even had
an unkind thought.

As much as we try, we can never

truly understand how God works.

Oh, understand?

What's to understand?

This is just cruel, this
is an act of cruelty,

God's laughing at me, and
you, and you...

and all of you!

Tom?

Tom?

Tom?

You home?

Tom?

Who are you?

What are you doing in my house?

I just came to see Tom.

Tommy's dead.

What are you doing here?

I'm sorry.

There's, there's someone
down there.

Martha, Tom's mom.

I didn't mean to intrude,
I'm really sorry.

Don't worry, you just go sit
down and I'll see to Martha.

So sad, they just
buried him on Wednesday.

I had no idea.

If it's okay, I'd
love to meet her.

I'm happy to get a room,
come back tomorrow.

You better hold off on that.

Martha needs some time alone.

I understand.

I'll just be on my way.

Who was that girl?

That's the girl
from the accident.

What's she doing here?

Where are you going?

Why?

Why him?

Why not me, I'm the sinner.

He never hurt a soul.

Old witch scared
the shit out of me.

And then I couldn't
get past her friend.

Well the good news is
that nobody's seen Frank.

I'll wait a week.

Go back out, take care of
business and then, outta here.

You okay?

Yeah, just beat.

My stomach's queasy.

I've been looking for
yoU, but I can't find you.

Where'd you go?

Hey, you're up early.

I went to the women's clinic.

One of Frank's sperm got lucky.

Shit.

Two miscarriages, a
handful of specialists,

and three guys I
kicked to the curb

who actually would have
made decent fathers.

Then after they
told me my uterus

is basically a toxic waste dump.

Fucking Frank, the
only real sociopath

in the pack somehow
knocks me up.

Okay.

Well, next time you'll...

They're saying there isn't
going to be a next time.

And it's only 50, 50
I'll carry to term,

even if I do everything, right.

Like what?

Stay off my feet
the first trimester,

avoid any kind of stress.

I've been through
it before, it sucks.

Hey, do you want to do this?

Then I will be there
every step of the way,

whatever you need.

I'll make it up to you, I swear.

We'll get that stash

and we'll be done with
the bars for good.

We can go live in South America,

I've got family there,

and I'll pay my kid's
way through Princeton.

I know you will.

I need you to help
me find a new place,

somewhere Frank won't find me.

I can't drive, you
have to take me

to the clinic every week or so.

And shop, and keep a look out.

No sign of Frank anywhere.

You checked the apartment?

Yeah, mail's piling up.

You can relax, he's gone.

Can't, not until I'm
sure that prick is dead.

Martha, Martha!

I've been working
in the County fair.

I should've never
let her get that way.

Can you get in?

Yup.

Martha, Martha!

Martha?

You up there?

Martha?

Hold it doc, that's
her personal space.

Let me check it out.

My God, what are you doing?

I was just thinking about...

all the good times we had.

You and me, Tommy.

God.

Oh that bastard Jake.

That son of a bitch.

We agreed we'd never
talk about him again.

What difference does it make?

It was so long ago.

Doctor Sam is upstairs

and he wants to see you,
not another word about that.

No more about that.

You're going to be fine.

I want you to come see me

at my office in a
couple of weeks.

This will help her
with the depression.

Will you make sure she takes it?

You can count on it.

Someone should
look after her.

No worries about that either.

Come on M, take your pill.

I keep asking why?

Never get an answer.

How ya doing hun?

I'm okay.

Just don't feel like
talking, that's all.

Well you take your time.

I'm here when you do.

Okay Gracie, see if
she wants to start up.

Okay!

That's a connection.

You are doing so much better.

Yeah but you know, the
hurt's still wearing on me.

Time hun, time.

...attack
on Pearl Harbor.

Who's there?

Why didn't you answer me?

I can't hear you over the TV.

How are you feeling?

Dizzy, weak.

I talked to the doctor,

he says I have to stay put
another month or so.

But besides that
you're doing okay?

Except that I keep saying Frank
walking through that door.

You're still worried about him?

No, not that much.

Now it's mostly about this.

I keep thinking even if
the baby survives

the swamp down there I'll
manage to mess it up.

No you won't.

What are you going to do about

this old woman and the jewelry?

What if she finds your stuff,

what if she figures out

that you're the one
that put it there?

She won't, I doubt
she even remembers me,

but I have to
reconnect with her.

You're okay.

You both are.

Dear Mrs. Comstock, I hope
this note finds you well.

I think of your son often

and would appreciate
the chance to see you

and talk about him.

Fondly, Alex Parker.

Oh Grace.

You're not going to believe
this, wait till you see.

This just came in the mail.

Oh, isn't that nice.

Do you remember her
coming by to see you?

I do.

Look at this.

Oh, she's going to have a baby.

Do you know she sent Tom

a wrist watch with
his name on it?

No, I had no idea.

Grace.

Think back to when she
spent the night here,

she and Tommy were here alone
together all night long.

I'm not pretending to know

exactly what happened or
what's on her mind now,

but she says she
wants to see me.

Her return address
is a post office box.

Did she leave a phone number?

I know what you're thinking
and you are probably wrong.

You know nothing
about this girl.

I have to see her.

Have to talk to her.

There's an old saying
my mother once told me.

If a stone falls in the water,

a thousand wise men,
can't bring it back.

Think about it.

Maybe you're looking for peace
of mind in the wrong place.

What's done is done.

There's no changing it now.

My comfort is in thinking that
maybe it was all meant to be.

I wish I knew what I
was supposed to do.

Alex, thank you so much for the
kind words and lovely photo.

Please accept my
apology for the way

I behaved the day
you came to see me.

Was a very bad time,
but I'm much better now.

And if you have it in your
heart to forgive my rudeness,

it would be my great pleasure

for you to come visit
any time it suits.

I would so enjoy talking to you,

all my best, Martha Comstock.

There's our invitation.

Okay, I've got one
more battery of tests

and then they say,
I'll be okay to travel.

Let me help
you with that Vi.

Frank.

More Frankenstein than Frank.

You've been gone for
the last few months.

Better part of a year.

By the way, my honey around?

I can't seem to find her.

She left town a couple
months after you disappeared.

Took a job in Eugene I think.

I figured something like that.

I get it.

She needed to do her own thing.

Hey, if you're busy, we
can talk some other time.

No, no that's okay, I have
some time before my shift.

Come in.

Do you still take
your coffee, black?

I'm off of caffeine.

Got any herbal tea?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Sugar, alcohol, dope.

Done with it.

Accident put me
through some changes.

Yeah, I can see that.

Disappeared for awhile.

I was on a road trip to
see a friend out East.

Driving too fast as
usual and no seatbelt.

I wrecked bad.

So bad I blacked out.

Somehow I got
tossed into a river.

When I woke up the car
was gone and I was,

no sense of mincing
words, totally fucked up.

Lucky thing the kids who found
me had phones, mine was gone.

Called my brother.

Told him what happened
and where I was.

You look bad, Frank.

No shit.

I had no idea.

You need a hospital, bro.

No hospitals, just
give me a shot.

Don't blame me if
you don't wake up.

Shut up and shoot me.

Brother called Alex,
but she didn't pick up.

I'm sure she was pissed at me.

She was always pissed at me.

Before his first prison term,

brother was taking a
night course in nursing.

I thought he could
take care of me,

which might've been a mistake.

I was busted in more
places than I can name.

Also, my right eye was toast.

For a while there,
it was touch and go.

Do you have to blow
smoke in my face?

But after I pulled back from
the abyss, I started thinking,

reflecting on my past deeds
in a way I never did before.

I had plenty of time for that.

It was close to four months

before I could stand
on my own two feet.

I called Alex before
her number went bye bye.

That was food for thought.

Over time, a lot of time,

the old Frank, the hustler

with a 10 ton chip on
his shoulder, faded away.

And gradually a new Frank,

a lot more patient and
tolerant, took his place.

We would agree
that the old Frank

needed an overhaul wouldn't we?

Well, that Frank is history.

I should go.

I just wish Alex was here

so I could apologize for
the way I mistreated her.

I guess you don't have
a number or an address?

No, no, I haven't talked
to her since she left town.

I'm sure she'll pop
up one of these days.

Maybe it's all for the better.

Oh, would it be okay for
me to use your phone?

I left mine where I'm staying.

Yeah, sure.

Come on.

Look at that.

Looks like you
sent the text just

about the time I showed up.

Interesting.

If I called this
number do you think

I would get a
mutual acquaintance?

It's just a guy I'm seeing.

I'm sorry Vi.

That wasn't nice.

New Frank don't grab other
people's phones,

that's ignorant.

But the truth is,
once in a while,

if new Frank gets
bent out of shape,

that means bad temper shit,

and old Frank can
suddenly reappear.

Out of nowhere.

And if old Frank gets
into a foul mood,

there's really nothing new
Frank can do to calm him down.

Now let's talk about
our mutual acquaintance.

And let's try not to
make old Frank mad.

He left.

Where's he been all this time?

Recovering
from the accident.

He wanted to know where you were

and I said that you left town

and that I didn't
have an address.

I can't talk right now.

Meet me at hip hop class.

Sure.

Fuck.

Hi, this is
Vi, I can't talk right now, bye.

Mrs. Comstock?

I'm sorry to show
up without calling.

I didn't have your number.

Look, if you're busy, I'll just
say hello and be on my way.

I wouldn't dream of it.
You just come right on in.

So what brings
you down this way?

Oh, it's on my way to
visit a friend from school

and I took a little detour
because I wanted to talk to you.

Well I'm just tickled
that you thought of me,

especially with the
baby coming so soon.

I'm not due for
another month or so.

But you're good to travel?

Yeah, short road trips.

I'll be back in
Portland by Monday.

I think maybe we need
some refreshments.

Why don't I make some ice tea?

Oh, please, don't
go to any trouble.

It's no trouble at all,

please make yourself
comfortable.

Okay.

I'll be right back.

All right.

Oh God, oh God.

Oh God, oh God.

Oh God, oh God.

Okay.

Okay.

Do you take sugar?

No, cut down on that.

Doctor's orders.

And then after all those years

of us just living our
lives, he was gone.

It was like the angel of death

just swooped down,
for what reason,

maybe God knows, I don't.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Tom was very kind to me.

You married?

I'm sorry, that was rude.

No it's okay.

No, I'm not married.

I'm sure you have plans,

but would you consider
staying for dinner?

I don't get many visitors,
especially young people.

That's very sweet of you.

No really, I'd
appreciate the company.

Yeah, sure, why not?

My friends not expecting
me till tomorrow.

Do you have far to go?

Yes, but I'm staying
in a motel tonight.

Well then we can
talk in the kitchen.

Great.

I can't remember
the last time I had

a home cooked meal like this,
everything was delicious.

Most of it, straight
from the garden.

Do you good to get
a little bit more

of that in your diet
for the baby, you know.

Yeah, you think so?

Yes, ma'am. I mean...

things you city folk eat.

Raw fish wrapped in seaweed?

Snails?

Grubs we call them.

I feel like if I didn't see it
on TV, I wouldn't believe it.

Why don't we retire
to the living room?

Are your feet cramping up?

Its okay, you don't have to.

You're tense, from your
ankles to your toes.

Thanks.

City life does that.

Portland, right?

Yeah, last few years.

Detroit, before that I
was born in st. Louis.

Well I lived my whole
life right here in Hadley,

among the Druids

Druids?

Yes ma'am, hill people,
backward and ornery shit.

Shoot as soon as look at ya.

Marry their own
cousins, some of them.

You city folk, you
think we're all

just inbred morons, don't you?

You got me there.

Between work and the
baby, I've been on edge.

Well, I understand completely.

May I feel the baby?

Do you believe in
an almighty God?

Why do you ask?

Well, recently I've been
stuck on the subject.

Just want to know
your opinion on it.

I don't really get
along with religion.

Did you ever?

When I was a a kid, maybe.

Well kids believe what you
tell them, pretty much.

Yeah, till they learn better.

Well once life makes a
couple of wrong turns

it takes an iron will
to keep believing.

Do you agree with that?

I talk to blunt.

It's always been my problem.

No, it's all good.

What's the baby's daddy like?

There I go again, the question
just popped into my head.

Gone, I should have
known right away

that it wasn't going to
work out, but I didn't.

I figured as much.

Tommy's daddy, we
never got along.

But I got Tommy out of it, so.

Sad to say, I could never
give him a brother or sister,

my baby maker just
wasn't up to it.

Oh.

Dozed off, I'm so embarrassed.

No wonder, you had a long day.

Yeah.

Left right after work.

Probably should've gotten
a good night's sleep first.

Why don't you stay over?

Get a fresh start
in the morning.

I don't want to impose.

Oh, it's no trouble.

I'll make up the guest
room, take a minute.

Actually, do you mind
if I sleep on the couch?

That way I could leave early
without disturbing you.

Sure you'll be
comfortable there?

Absolutely, if I hadn't
heard you come in,

I'd probably still be asleep.

Okay, I'll get you a pillow.

Thank you.

Hi, this is Vi.

I can't talk right now, bye.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, just a problem at work.

I'll deal with it
in the morning.

I made you some tea.

Oh, thank you.

It's chamomile.

Oh that's so kind
of you, thank you.

It'll put you right to sleep.

Okay then.

Listen, if you hear
me rattling around

the house in the
middle of the night,

don't pay any attention

I'm a light sleeper.

Okay.

Rise and shine.

It's a muscle relaxant,

I used to give it to Tommy

when he seized up,
it'll wear off.

What?

My daddy was constable.

He dealt with all
sorts of criminals.

What sort of criminal are you?

I'm not.

Well you came here to hide.

People are after you.

You thought you'd be safe here.

What?

No.

It doesn't matter now,

all that matters is you're here

and here you'll be safe so.

Potty break time.

Are you fucking kidding me?

You insane?

Let me out of these.

No, no, and no.

There you go sweetie.

I got a chill the first
time I heard about you.

Call it an omen.

But then Tommy was gone so fast,
nothing else, mattered.

Then your picture arrived

and I realized God
works in strange.

Come on, eat your breakfast.

I'm not hungry.

Maybe your baby's hungry, did
you ever think about that?

Explain something to me.

With all the men out
there in the world,

why would you take up
with a simple country boy?

The baby's father is a thief.

We lived together for a
while, but I left him.

He thinks I took
stuff, stuff he stole.

So he's holding my
best friend hostage.

Well, I don't know about that.

I know two things.

You're in trouble.

And you were delivered
to me so I could protect

Tommy's baby and that's
exactly what I'm gonna do.

Lady, it's not his goddamn kid.

You can curse all you want.

It's not going to
change my mind.

Your drugs are okay,
but the food is shit.

You gonna shoot me?

Kill the baby?

Well, you can still have a baby

with a foot full of buckshot,
just hurt a lot more.

You're insane.

Maybe.

But I got the gun.

Get on the bed.

Put those around your ankles.

Put those around your ankles,

what are you suddenly
hard of hearing?

Fuck you.

My daddy told me never to point

a loaded gun unless
I intended to use it.

I never touched your son.

You know, all this is
happening for a reason.

I don't expect you to believe it

because you don't believe
in anything but yourself.

Not even a miracle,

not even when it's
happening right inside you.

I'm going to the market,
get you some nourishment.

You may need this.

What a thoughtful host.

Well I'm so glad you're here.

You've been busy.

I keep getting messages,
please let me see them.

He has my friend

Is this for real?

Jesus.

What?

Does he know where I live?

I don't know.

Did this girl give
him my address?

No, she wouldn't do that.

Look, we have to
get out of here.

If Frank finds us,
he'll slit our throats.

Oh yeah?

Well forewarned is fore-armed.

You think you can handle Frank?

Well, I refuse to believe
you were sent here

to be slice up by some
murdering low life.

Okay.

Okay, truth.

I stole from him diamonds,
and jewelry and I hid it.

If you let me go,
I'll split it with you

and you can buy
yourself a castle.

So first you say you
didn't take his stuff,

and now you say you did.

You know what, I don't care
whether you did or you didn't.

I don't want any part of
whatever it is you stole.

We have to get out of here.

We have to have dinner.

He's going to cut us up and
flush us down the toilet.

We'll see about that.

You gonna answer that?

It's Grace.

Talk to her later.

You really believe
all this is fated.

I believe there is a plan

and that each one of
us has a part in it.

And your son, was he
meant to die so young?

Can't say.

Then how do you know what
you're doing is right?

The same way I knew I was right

when they pulled
Tommy out of the pond.

They thought he was gone
and I refused to accept it.

Just because we don't
understand a master plan

doesn't mean there isn't one.

Did you drug me again?

Half dosage.

You need a bath.

You're making a big mistake.

Yeah well, we both
made mistakes.

Not much I can do about
mine at this point,

but I'm doing the best
I can to fix yours.

Well, you know, at your
age, it's hard to say,

but you don't get that many
chances to make life work out.

From what I can tell you've
used up most of yours.

I thought God made
everything right.

No, we're free to mess up.

I know that from personal
experience, I took a wrong turn.

It's funny though,

I can't say I regret it.

Didn't you hear me calling?

Is everything all right?

I was in the basement.

Well, I just wanted
to let you know

there was some guy at
the end of your driveway.

You recognize them?

No.

He was probably
lost or something.

Well, if I see him
again, I'll let you know.

Thanks.

Are you still
taking your medication?

Of course, doctor's orders.

Look, I'm in the
middle of cleaning,

how about I stop by tomorrow?

You, weren't paying attention,

there's a backstairs
off the kitchen.

I think the baby.

No, I don't think it's your
time yet, but we'll see.

I think I saw
the same car on your driveway.

Please, I'm not gonna.

No, you're not.

Give me a minute.

Can I help you?

Good afternoon, Ma'am is this
the home of Tom Comstock?

Tom's my son.

He's been dead
for some time now.

Sorry to hear that.

I was looking forward
to meeting him.

I guess that's not possible.

Well, what can I do for you?

Did you or your son
know this woman?

She's my sister, she
disappeared several days ago.

Family's frantic, a friend
of hers gave us Tom's name,

said he knew her and that
she might've gone to see him,

but we didn't have a number.

Is that you there?

Yeah, that was a long time ago.

Not much of a family
resemblance,

don't mind my saying.

She's my half sister.

Okay, well she did
come by a while back.

She was looking for Tom.

And then?

She needed a place to
stay for a couple of days

while their apartment
was getting fixed up.

Tell you what, I think she's
in some kind of trouble.

Yeah, she's got problems.

Do you know where she went?

She's still here.

She's upstairs.

Sleeping, said she didn't
want to see anybody

but seeing as your family.

Tommy attracted
lots of young women.

They came around
looking for him.

No kidding.

Like stray cats in heat.

He couldn't get rid of them.

Ones that wouldn't
leave, I had to lock up.

Your girl here,

you're welcome to take her.

No, ma'am I'm afraid she's not.

Well now we got a situation.

Your pal was just here.

I think I drove him
off, but I'm not sure.

Got here as fast as I could.

Got a little job here.

Let's do it.

She's in the house
with some old lady.

Should be easy, but
we might to get ugly.

Whatever it takes, bro.

Do you really have to smoke?

It's fucking bad for you, man.

Oh, fucking great,
burn down the woods.

Got your toys?

Looks like bed time.

See about a back door.

Mrs. Comstock?

Mrs. Comstock?

You can gut the old
lady, but we need Alex alive.

Wait here.

What?

Frank, you okay?

Frank.

Frank?

Martha?

Martha?

Did I hear a gunshot?

Oh Grace, I got a situation.

There's a woman upstairs,
she's gonna have a baby.

She's that girl
from the accident,

she's having Tommy's baby.

She showed up here out of
the blue with some story

about how she wanted to visit
with me and talk about Tommy.

But she came here to hide,
there are people after her.

So she's going to
have Tom's baby?

Yes, please, don't judge.

Jesus.

Her water broke.

I had no choice.

It was the only way
to protect the baby.

It all happened so fast,

you don't understand
what went on here.

Two guys came here.

They were going to kill her.

What?

Yeah, they're in the basement.

They're dead.

I killed them.

We got to uncuff her.

Get some towels.

Please, you have to help me,

she's out of her mind.

It's not Tom's kid, I swear.

I believe you.

I have to get out of here.

Of course you will, but first
you're gonna have that baby.

Let her legs free
for God's sake.

Okay.

Try to breath, try to breath.

Oh God, it hurts.

Breath, breath.

Okay, okay.

Come on, come
on, you can do it.

You're gonna do it, come on.

Okay, hang on.

You got this.

You got this, its coming.

Push harder!

Come on, you can
do it, you're doing it.

One more, one more
and you've got a baby.

- Breath, breath.
- One more.

Okay, you did it, you did it.

Oh look at you.

You're perfect.

You're so, you're
so, you're so....

You need to rest.

I'm so tired.

You need to rest.

I have got to get
you out of here.

Are you strong enough to walk?

I think so.

Okay, halfway down the
driveway there's a path

that go straight to my house.

You'll be safe there.

What about?

I'll take care of Martha.

Where's the baby?

I don't know.

Grace!

Grace!

How could you?

How could you?

Grace!

Grace?

You're going to
have to give up that baby.

That's Tommy's baby.

Tommy would still be alive
if it wasn't for that woman.

That's my baby.

Martha, it's not Tom's
baby, you have to face that.

It's my baby, it's my baby.

You're going to have
to give him up.

That woman had nothing
to do with Tom.

Martha?

Martha?

The girl and the baby are gone.

Go ahead, smash my
skull if you want.

I'm sorry, Martha.

I'm so sorry, Martha.

I'm so sorry!

You just wait here one
minute, one minute.

It's been a long,
strange trip huh Alex?

Feels like you packed on a
few pounds since we broke up.

Your stuff is here, just take it

Oh I plan on it.

And you're gonna help
me get out of here.

Because I'm not exactly
my best right now.

That crazy bitch
still out there?

I don't know.

Come on.

Come on.

No, wait, please.

Let's go.

Stop, you got what you wanted,
what do you need me for?

You're unfinished business baby.

No stop!

Stop Frank, no.

Come on.

I'm not going, I
just had our baby.

Fucking bullshit, now shut up
and get in the car, come on.

We're done frank.

Frank, stop.

The baby.

It's safe.

Where?

In the house.

Alex! Dinner!

Alexander? Dinner!

What were you doing out there?

Just playing mom.

Okay, go wash up for dinner.

Yes, Mom.

What do you think he
does out there all alone?

God only knows.
