Beautiful Beast (2013) - full transcript

You blew through your
allotment quickly.

Because my expenses added up
quickly.

Would you care to reveal those
expenses?

Apart from my usual, I hosted
a benefit for the hungry.

The press called that a
party at Patrice's where

you and your friends
broke two chandeliers,

damages totaling thirty-five
thousand dollars.

It got a little out of hand.

At a five-star restaurant?
And I suspect that

your friends were the
hungry who benefited.

We've been appointed to make
sure your money lasts.



Which it won't, if we allow
you to keep wasting it.

Food and clothes - those are
necessities.

Three-hundred dollars on a scarf?
Twenty-five hundred dollars on a hand bag?

Uncle Lyle, don't you think that mommy
and daddy would want me to be happy?

Yes, of course.

Then how can I be happy if I'm
broke?

Happiness doesn't depend on
how much you spend.

Look, the party... I thought
you called it a benefit

...was a mistake. But it's in
the past.

It was two weeks ago.

Look, I promise from now on I
will be so much better.

I know you will.

* MUSIC PLAYING

To Uncle Lyle! Yay, cheers!



Ew, why do you keep inviting
her?

Seriously, she's such a drag.
And what is she wearing?

Yeah, look, we grew up
together and she just

keeps following me around,
but, just, shhhh.

Catherine, hi!

You came. I did.

How is my favorite socialite?

Fabulous. We are celebrating.
Oh, again.

Honey, we need to take you shopping.
Oh, no, I have my own clothes, thanks.

If that's what you call those.
It will be my treat.

What, did you get more money
again? Oh, I got you a present.

Isabelle. Ah, just open it.

Wow! Isn't it gorgeous? Yeah.

Isabelle, did you spend twelve-hundred
dollars on this? That is too much!

Stop it, just put it on. Honey,
why do you look so tired?

I had the craziest day at work, there's
this guy and he keeps calling me.

Clay! Isabelle! What are we
celebrating?

Ugh! Absolute rubbish!

Hi Uncle Lyle.

Mm hmm, the benefit tomorrow, I remember.
Mm hmm, for the children's hospital right?

Yup, I will be there you can
count on me. Alright Mm hmm.

Ugh.

Chloe, I need a getaway. Oh,
when?

Right away. I am so bored.

Oh, I wish I could. I'm having some
little, um, alterations done. Hey!

I totally wish I could Isabelle.

My dad's getting married. Again?

Number five. Well that was
quick.

I promised him I'd come to
the wedding this time.

He says when I'm there for it the
marriage lasts twice as long.

Hey, Isabelle I can't talk right
now I'm at work. Not for long...

What? I'm going on a fabulous
getaway.

Okay? Come with me.

I can't. Maybe you didn't hear
me I'm working.

Come on that bug company can do
without you for a couple of days.

Are you purposefully ignoring
me?

Come on we'll go some place that
you want to go. Like, um...

Wow, I can tell you've given
this so much thought.

...skiing, you love skiing. We'll
go to Sweden, no Switzerland.

They've got good skiing there
right? Well yeah, but...

Okay! Pack your bags. We'll
leave tomorrow, my treat.

Isabelle, things are really busy right now.
I can't just leave, can you ask...

...can you ask one of your
other friends?

No! I already tried that.

Of course you did. Well, go
by yourself.

I can't. Besides I need
somebody to entertain me.

Isabelle!

Besides, you owe me.

Fine.

Ha ha ha!

* MUSIC PLAYING

Oh, it's perfect, right?
Yeah, it's really nice.

Hey, are we going to check in
soon?

Hello? Let's go inside. Okay.

Hey, um, I'm starving, Do you think
they have a burger here? Mm hmm.

Isabelle?

I just don't understand. How could the
presidential suite just not be available?

I know. And it's not
like this room is really

pretty. You didn't even
have a reservation.

Now you sound just like that
angry little man downstairs.

Sorry. Do you want to go swimming?
I think I'm going to go.

I'll meet you there.

Hey are you going out?

Hi, umm Yeah, we're just going
to go to dinner.

Oh, well I'm hungry.

And cold too. Didn't you bring
anything warmer sweetheart?

Heh heh... Umm.

I mean I guess you could come
with us.

Gee, thanks, but I think I'll
just get room service.

Okay, bye.

Hey wait! Don't stay out too late
because we have skiing in the morning.

Brrr, I hope they have a hot
tub.

Hey Isabelle.

Isabelle? Are you up? You ready?

Of course you're still asleep.

Isabelle... Wakey wakey.

Wake up Isabelle. Wake up!

Isabelle, your credit card got
declined!

What?

Woo, hoo! Come on, isn't this
fun?

Catherine!

Come one, we're already going
real slow.

You know the snow will still
be here if we go later.

Oh my gosh. It was quite a drive out here,
if you didn't notice from the taxi fare.

Besides, as much fun as it was sitting
around waiting for you to wake up,

I'd rather not waste the time.

Well, can you just wait?

Yeah...

I think, I think my skis are broken.
He gave me broken skis.

No your skis are fine.

This isn't even skiing.

Yes it is. It's cross-country
skiing. It totally counts.

But you're not even that good
at it.

But I like it. Besides it's
really great exercise.

Yeah, but I pictured slopes, and harmless
flirting as we wait for the ski lift.

And drinking hot beverages and
sitting in the hot tub. Not this!

You don't really ski, do you?

I do too! I know how, thank-you!

You say you go skiing all the
time.

No, I say I go to ski resorts all the time.
It's very different.

Ok well, listen, it's actually really fun.
You just have to give it a chance.

I'm sure.

Make-up? Really?

Look, always look your best.
It is the one rule I live by.

Just... you do your thing and
I will do mine. Alright?

Ok... Are you ready?

Ohh ahhh!

No, don't laugh.

I'm sorry. Here...

No, this is so stupid! You
are stupid!

I am having you shipped back to
America as soon as we get back

and I get something hot to
drink. Ow!

This is it! I've had enough!

Yeah, well, you promised me
skiing, so...

On slopes!

Well, you never specified that. And
besides, this is what I wanted to do.

It's all about what you want
isn't it? You are so spoiled!

Yeah, I get that all the time
from you of all people.

You know what? You're making me
regret ever inviting you along.

More like guilt tripping me
into coming.

Whatever! You get to free-load
on a dream vacation, boo-hoo.

Isabelle, I am not one of your
groupies or free-loading friends.

Well, I'm paying for this and
I say...

No, no I am tired of you holding
the money over my head.

I don't do that.

Yes, you do!

It was your uncle's idea to help my mom
when she was sick and that was so great.

But you... anytime you can you
like to take credit for it.

You're being ridiculous!

No! What is ridiculous is you using
that to get me to do whatever you want

like come on this stupid trip.

I don't even understand what
you're complaining about.

I mean you should feel lucky
to even have me around.

You are so full of yourself

you actually think that the whole
world revolves around you.

Apparently not the whole world.

You know what? I'm just
going to go ahead.

You can catch a cab back to
the hotel, ok princess?

Fine, be that way!

Fine!

You know what? When you're
done with your whole

cross-country thing you may as well
pack your bags and go back to your

stupid bug job because I'm
uninviting you, missy!

Oh, well, see you at home.

Don't hold your breath.

Now that you're gone I may extend my
vacation and actually have some fun!

Well that is what you do best,
Isabelle.

Oh, oh, oh, ahhh!

Catherine? Are you still out
here?

I can't believe she abandoned
me.

Ow.

It's okay.

Oh, come on...

I hate Switzerland!

Ow!

This is all her fault. I'll
have her deported.

Can't feel fingers... can't
feel toes.

But I can feel my ankle!
Every step.

Someone help me...

Please! Someone help me!

Hello? I need some help!

Hello? I just need to use
your phone.

Please just... Hello?

Hello?

I need to... Can you let me in?

I'm hurt.

I got lost... Just need to
use the phone.

Ahhhh! Hey!

Did she go to the fund raiser?

I got word that she used the company
plane to go to Switzerland.

You have the authority to cut her off.
There's

the clause in the
trust that gives you

the option to hold back what she's
to receive when she turns thirty.

I can't hurt her.

Of course not. But you can
do what's best for her.

Even if she doesn't like it.

I appreciate your guidance.

Well good, that should clear
up the issue.

But I am tired of these surprises that
keep coming at the end of the quarter.

So let's get it right.

Did you talk to Lyle? Yes.

How did he react? Not the way
I did.

She has him wrapped around her
finger.

I know he loves her, I
understand that. But

there's a line and she
crossed it years ago.

Well, give it two weeks.
She'll be in hot water again.

Maybe he'll listen then.

Hey!

You awake yet?

Hello?

Get away from me! You're in
my house.

Back away! I live here.

Are you dangerous?

If I say no are you going to
believe me?

No. My head hurts.

It's because you hit it.

You attacked me!

No, but I could have. You
broke into my home.

I knocked.

And then you broke in.

The door was open.

That doesn't make it an
invitation.

Listen to me... I need some
food and something to drink.

And some pain killers would be
nice.

I'm not your waiter. I know,
but you'll have to do.

That's it. Get out! I can't,
I'm hurt.

Well that didn't stop you
from getting here.

I got lost! Not my problem.

I'm making it your problem.
Now get me some food.

Chili? In a can?

Eat up.

Alright. Rested, fed, now go
on your way.

My ankle hurts, and it hurts
when I breathe.

Well sadly, not enough to
keep you from talking.

It hurts when I breathe!
Call an ambulance!

Uh, no.

Fine. A cab, whatever...

There's no phone here. No
internet either.

Alright, then you'll just have
to drive me to the hospital.

Where's your car? I walked!

From where?

If I knew that, I would have
gone there and not come here.

Just get your keys.

I don't have a car.

Look... I am rich, alright,
so whatever it takes,

just get me back to
civilization.

There is no car here!

Why?

I don't need one. What, so
you're just isolated up here?

I was until you got here.

Wait, there's really no phone,
car, a snowmobile?

Nope.

Then how am I supposed to
get back to my hotel?

There is nothing within
twenty-five miles of here.

No bus stops either.

The only way down is to walk.

That doesn't make any sense!

How do you live? I mean
there must be a way down.

I have someone who brings me
what I need once a month.

Great. And when do they come
next?

Two and a half weeks. The only way
down in the meantime is on foot.

Fine. Then this will just
have to do.

Whoa, no, no this will not do.

You can't expect me to walk
anywhere like this.

I don't expect anything
except for you to leave.

Well I'm in no condition to do that
so that's out of the question.

Sure you are. Just stand up,
hope over there

until you're on the other side
of the door.

I'm not limping my way back
to civilization. Thank-you.

I don't care where you go, but
you're not going to stay here.

You wouldn't just throw me
out in the cold?

Because, I'm tired, cold, I
need a bath...

Which one's my room?

Don't you have anything else?

You mean women's clothes? Uh,
yeah.

Not in my closet.

You want me to take a look
at that ankle?

Are you a doctor? Sit down...

What is that thing? Don't
touch it.

Fine.

What are all these?

They're mine. Leave it alone.

What's your name?

Jeremy.

I'm Isabelle Elliott in case
you were wondering.

Alright, this is probably
going to hurt. It does!

Yeah, sprained.

Oh really?

Bad enough that there's going
to be some bruising.

You have to ice it and stay
off it for the next few days.

It hurts. It's normal. Hang
on...

Where are you going?

To get a bandage.

I'm going to wrap it, but loose enough
you can still have some movement.

Easy! I though you just said I
was not meant to move it.

Well you want some give for motion,
it's going to hurt a little bit more

but heal with less complications that way.
You don't want it to heal too tight

or it's going to hurt more when
you walk around on it later.

What's wrong with your side?
I hit it.

Where? Ribs?

I don't know.

Well you said it hurt earlier,
when you were breathing.

Yeah... Where?

There!

Ahh, yeah, right there.

You've probably got a cracked
or bruised rib.

There's nothing you can do about,
just take it easy and let it heal.

How do you know that anyway?

I just do.

What's with all this flannel
anyway?

Is this mountain man thing
your permanent look?

My clothes are none of your
business.

You should really have some
standards.

And you're welcome.

Hope that's better than chili!

So weird.

Cleans up nice if he wants to.

Yawn.

Doctor Jeremy Andrew Edmunds.

Jerk.

Do you mind? Some of us are
actually trying to sleep!

Would you rather freeze?

So much for good manners.
I'm a guest, remember?

Guests are expected.

Just, shhh!

Wow...

Come in Henry.

What are you doing?

You should have met my sister.

She's beautiful.

She was quite a bit younger
than me.

Adorable, until she turned five and
then she was a little firecracker.

Is that where Isabelle gets it
from? Maybe.

Laura was fierce in standing up for people.
And animals too.

I can't count how many strays
she brought home.

I suppose that's how my parents
felt about her husband.

Just another stray, not good
enough for her.

So they thought.

You disagreed?

Oh, I stayed out of it. I
could have been supportive.

I had little interest in
marriage or family of my own.

Then they died and there I was with
little Isabelle to watch over.

What was she like as a child?

Precocious, always thinking.

She'd smile sweetly to win
you over and that was it.

Not much has changed then.

Oh, I wasn't well suited for
the role. She'd...

Well I doted on her. How
could I not?

What are you doing?

Building a birdhouse?

What are you, fourteen? It's
a hobby.

What are you doing out here
anyway?

What do you mean? Well you're
obviously not from here...

What gave me away?

And what's with the no phone,
no internet, no anything?

It's a bit boring don't you
think?

It's quiet. I like it that way.

It's too quiet.

So what about you?

I'm a city girl.

In fact if you had any contact with the
outside world you may even recognize me.

Let me guess... an actress.

A celebrity of sorts.

Great.

I'm rich.

Congratulations.

I've always been rich. It
suits me.

You know, you still didn't
answer my question.

That's right.

Fine.

Here's your plate.

Ew. What is that?

Meatloaf. Let me guess...
vegetarian.

No but I've got taste buds.
That is horrible.

I don't know how you
could eat that.

Did your parents forget
to teach you any

manners after they gave
you the golden pony?

Yes, because they died.

Alright, that's it... Ground rules.
You're going

to stay here you're going
to follow them. Got it?

Oh no, am I in trouble?

You're in charge of lunch.
You want anything else to

eat you eat what I'm making
or you fend for yourself.

Next, try to be helpful.
Whining all day doesn't count!

Just try not to be so difficult.

I'm not.

Alright. Wake up princess!
You are the epitomy of rudeness.

You're the most self-centered
person I've ever known.

You've been here for almost two days and
you've done nothing but whine and complain.

I don't think a thank-you
has ever once crossed your mind.

Alright, I am completely
bored... Oh. Sorry.

What do you want?

Well, I didn't mean to interrupt, but...
I'm bored and I'm going crazy.

Do you have anything to do?

Do you play chess?

You know it's your turn, right?

I know.

Oh, you'll be happy to know I've
decided to forgive you for earlier.

Really?

What? Wait, ok we'll just
play. Please... just...

So, do you play chess very
often?

It's a two person game.

Right. I just thought you might
be one of those genius types.

You know, that plays against
themselves.

I'm not that smart.

Good point. Check.

Why didn't you just sacrifice
your queen?

I would never do that.

Why not?

Too important.

Check.

You understand you're losing
because of it, right?

I told you, I'm not that smart.

This is true... check mate.

We could play a simpler game. You could
go hide and I could count to ten.

What are you making?

Macaroni and cheese.

Really? Aim to impress don't
you?

Fine.

How about some dessert,
mountain man?

Lunch is ready.

There.

Wow. This looks good.

What?

What did you put on here?

Just some paprika. I've seen it
used before. It adds flavor.

This?

Yes.

Cayenne pepper.

No, it's not... Well I
didn't know. I...

You know I'm a guy right? I
mean do you think

I'm going to have paprika
just lying around?

Great.

It's really not that bad.

Okay, well I made a cake too.

Really? Um hmm.

Great!

Prepare to be impressed.

It's good.

Really? Good.

Oh, it's horrible. Yeah.

You swallowed that. I didn't
want to be rude.

I followed the recipe... I
don't understand.

Are your sure? I know how to
read a recipe.

How much salt did you put in?
Just a bit.

And this? Sugar?

A cup and a half I think.

This is salt. That's the sugar.

I grabbed... The wrong one.

See this is exactly why I
don't cook.

Ever? No, never.

Great! Now I ruined your shirt.
Not that it's a great loss.

It'll wash out.

Do you have another shirt that
I can borrow please?

Yeah.

Here.

What is it?

You said you didn't have any
of this stuff.

I said I didn't have any in my
closet.

Cheeky! Who's is it?

My ex-wife's.

I'd rather her stuff get dirty
than mine.

Thank-you.

You been icing that ankle?

By the way, thank-you so much
for the clothes.

It feels so good to be in
women's clothes again.

Besides the paparazzi may show up at any
moment and I would love to be ready.

I'm practically famous.

So, um, how long have you been
divorced?

Three years.

And are you okay with it?

So is that why you moved up
here?

Yeah this was our getaway. After
the divorce I made it permanent.

It's so lonely though.

So.

Don't you miss home, or being
around people?

It's what I wanted and needed.

Time to think. Time to...

Pray?

Yeah. So?

It's just not my thing. It's
fine if it's yours. I just...

Thanks for the permission.

I just don't get it. You know?

You didn't grow up very
religious did you?

Not really. So...

It works for me.

Somebody to talk to. Someone
to help.

It's interesting.

You should try it sometime.

Why? I have pretty much
everything that I want.

What more is God going to give
me?

There are some things money
can't buy.

I don't know if this dress
works for me. Is it to blah?

It depends on your shoes...
Oh, hi Catherine.

Hey guys. Um, how's it going?
Where's Isabelle?

I don't know. She was going
out of town.

I know, I just, I thought that
maybe she would be...

You know what, nevermind.

Some hot but completely poor guy
probably caught her attention.

She's so gullible. She doesn't even realize
Clay only went out with her for her money.

Ok, well, if you could just
let me know when you see her.

That would be great.

Um, there's some hot water on
the stove if you want some.

Been there long?

Just now. That alright?

Yeah.

Did you make all these
birdhouses?

Yeah.

Do the birds actually use them?

Free food helps.

So many little details. It's
an interesting hobby.

I had a lot of time on my
hands when I first moved here.

Well what do you do with them
all?

I have a guy in town who sells
them for me.

You really need to lose the
flannel.

It keeps me warm.

So do layers.

My clothes, my choice.

Alright.

Do you have any pain killers?

Yeah. Ankle acting up or is it
the ribs?

A little of both.

How bad is it?

Better than before.

You mind if I take a look?

Did you re-wrap this?

Yeah. It's too tight.

The swelling's gone done so...
that's good.

Have you had many sprained
ankles?

No.

You sure sound like you have.

I have a medical background.

Like a doctor? Certainly don't
flaunt it do you?

No, gotta keep it quiet
otherwise all the neighbors

will come around any time they
have any sort of ache.

Right. So, do you practice
around here at all?

No.

How come?

I just don't.

Well you're too young to be retired.
What sort of a doctor were you?

Doesn't matter.

Were you a cosmetic surgeon?

No. Don't get your hopes up.

You can't blame me for asking. But
you should tell me because I...

Hey, I have an idea. In the interest of
eating well tonight, how about I cook?

Does that mean you don't want
any more of my salty cake?

No. But you can help.

Oh, daring...

Melinda. What?

I want you to draft an
agreement about Isabelle.

Specifically her being unfit to receive the
chunk of the trust when she turns thirty.

It has to have Lyle's signature
it needs to be unanimous.

I think it will be.

Find out where she is,
what she's doing. It's

been a little to quite and
that never bodes well.

She'll throw a fit about this.

I know. But it's worth it if
it means she'll change.

It looks so good.

Just put a little powdered
sugar on top. And we're done!

Yay. Oh you have... on your
face. Here.

Alright.

So what's that thing called
anyway?

I don't know how to pronounce
it. It's some soufflé.

It's good. It's really good!

Well thank-you.

So, I was wondering...

About?

Home... for you.

New York. Despite the accent.

My dad was from London and my uncle
sent me to schools out in England.

I think he wanted me to keep a
connection with family.

You never picked up the
American accent?

I can if I want to.

It just never seemed very
natural to me. You know?

Is your uncle still around?

Oh yes.

Won't he be missing you?

I hadn't actually thought
about that.

I mean, not that I'd count on a search
party finding you in the Alps, but...

No, I don't even think he
knows I'm in the country.

Does anybody?

Yes, a friend. But I'm pretty sure
she's not looking for me either.

I was in a bit of a huff with
her when we last parted.

She probably thinks I'm out
here having fun without her.

What did you guys fight about?

Oh, you know, me being me.

We're actually a really odd
pair?

How's that?

Well, during summers, I would spend
them with my uncle at his house.

And the other kids just...

It was like I had the plague. They
had no idea how to talk to me.

But Catherine was nice.
She listened, she

told me what she thought
when she thought it.

She never beat around the bush.
So we just always stayed friends.

We're really different.

How so?

She's working class and I'm
rich. Remember?

Yeah, but, you're more than
right?

Well I'd like to think so. You know it's
a wonder that we're friends at all.

The way we treat each other...
She's really sarcastic.

And I think she thinks I don't
know but...

But you're rich, not stupid.

Exactly. Yes, well put.

So how do you treat her?

Good. Really well when you consider all
of the money I, my uncle gave her mom.

Her mom?

She got ill and they had loads of bills.
She says I hold that over her head but...

Do you?

Really, I treat her
really well because

sometimes I buy her
little gifts and things.

Yeah, but that probably doesn't
matter much to her, does it?

No, probably not.

But you know, that's probably why I
consider her a friend. Like, a good friend.

A true friend?

Yeah.

Then you should tell her that.

When you said you were a doctor
did you really mean therapist?

Shoot!

Jeremy, I do hope you understand
why one day. I forgive you.

Don't let this or the malpractice
eat at you forever. Carrie.

Isabelle?

Um... Yeah?

Hey.

Oh, my goodness.

You have not got a stitch of
flannel on you. It's gone.

I have to do laundry.

No, it looks so much better.

Alright, don't make a big deal
about it. What are you doing?

Um... I was just sitting and
writing a letter.

How are you going to send that?

Pigeon... carrier pigeon. Do the pigeons
come to your birdhouses to eat from...

Not at mine.

Right... Well nevermind then.
What are you doing?

I wanted to see if you want to
play chess.

Don't you have like a game box
thing?

Like video games? Yes.

No. Why not?

Well, for one, because I'm not
fourteen.

Right... Chess it is then.
Lucky me.

Jeremy Edmunds is hereby
suspended from practicing

medicine and stripped
of his medical license.

So what do you do? Do?

Yeah, you know, for a job. No
need.

Did you go to college?

Yes, three actually, but none
of them suited me.

Three, huh?

Well it's hard to study for a job that you
know you'll never actually going to need.

Sounds rough.

But I'm also on the board of directors
for a charitable foundation.

Nice. What foundation?

Um, the Elliott Foundation.

Your family's?

Yes but that doesn't make it
any less impressive.

Of course not.

You know it's not like I don't
do anything. I have a life.

Okay, so, what do you do on a
normal day?

I get up, get ready, you know, meet
friends for lunch, go shopping...

Sometimes we go to the spa.

And sometimes I do appearances
for um, like parties

or benefits you know,
those sorts of things.

So, uh, socialite.

You know I really don't care
for that term particularly.

Change what you do then.

I would but... What was that?

That's the dryer.

You mind pulling the clothes
out while I finish here?

Yeah, okay, um... Okay.

Oh no!

What happened?

I was carrying that, and it's so heavy. And
the hallway is really narrow, and I...

You broke it?

It can be fixed, right?

Not really!

Well don't you have some of
that wood glue?

You can't just... hey
stay away from that

alright? I don't want you
to break anything else.

It was an accident I didn't
mean to.

Yeah, well your excuses aren't
going to fix this.

Jeremy, It's just a birdhouse.

You know, I realize that this doesn't
look like it's worth much to you,

but it means a lot to me.
You probably can't get that.

I do get it and don't talk to
me like that.

Like what?

Like I'm too stupid or shallow
to understand your whole thing.

Well sorry princess, but the
shoe fits.

You know what? That's nothing
compared to what you've ruined.

What's that supposed to mean?

I may have ruined a lousy birdhouse but
you've ruined people's lives, doctor.

You don't know what you're
talking about.

You wish. I found your secret,
guilty stash.

What were you doing going
through my things?

Finding out what you were
hiding.

Those are my things. You were
snooping through my past.

I think that I have a right to
know exactly who I'm staying with.

A right? I could have buried you in
the snow and nobody would have cared.

Is that what you said when you killed
that girl? Nobody will even care?

Who are you to judge?
You don't do anything!

Your whole life
revolves around shallow

people and how much money
you can spend. It's useless.

Your whole existence is
pathetic.

You are the epitomy of rudeness.

You are so full of yourself
you actually think

that the whole world
revolves around you.

You are the most self centered
person I have ever known.

You don't do anything, your
whole existence is pathetic.

God, if you're listening, I don't
want to be this way anymore.

Isabelle? Isabelle?

It's just a deer.

Isabelle?

Hello?

Isabelle!

Jeremy.

My hands are still numb.

Here you go. Thanks.

Was there an animal out there?
Like a wolf?

No.

Are you sure?

There's not a lot of wolves
that come out this way.

Then why were you in such a
hurry?

It's freezing out there.
It's only going to get colder.

So you weren't scared?

Not of a wolf.

I'm sorry.

It's just... don't do that
again, ok?

No. Jeremy, I'm...

I'm really sorry. About
everything.

I was angry. I shouldn't have...

Nope, you were right.

You probably don't say that
very often, do you?

Nope.

So I started getting these,
um, really bad headaches.

I don't know if it was a reaction
to something... the flu.

They'd last for days.

So I got a prescription...
pretty heavy painkillers.

They worked well. Really well.
But then I kept taking them.

I felt better with them. Bad
without.

It got to a point where I couldn't
get off them. I didn't want to.

My wife noticed, and I got defensive.
It became a wedge in our relationship.

Another one.

I ran out of pills and I
had a surgery scheduled.

Fairly routine, but
not without the risk.

But I was a wreck without the
pills.

So I found an old
prescription laying around.

Just something to
take the edge off.

But, um, just couldn't focus.

Never should have entered the
operating room that day.

I thought I could handle it.
The patient died on the table.

From there I was sued for
malpractice. I lost my license.

My wife was just horrified
with the whole thing.

Not that I blame her. She was
dragged through a lot.

I moved here after the divorce.

Did you try and get some help?

Before the surgery I didn't
think I needed it.

But after, yeah. Court
ordered rehab.

How was that?

Better than the alternative.

It took a while for me to
listen.

Not just about the pills, but
about what I did.

Talked a lot about
forgiveness, and God.

Do you think God has forgiven
you?

Yeah.

Rehab, of all places, helped
my relationship with God.

But yeah, after all this time I
believe that God has forgiven me.

But, I can't imagine anybody
else has.

You mean, her family?

Her family, friends...

I'm sorry, that's a lot to
carry.

Yeah. It's probably why rehab
suggested taking up new hobbies.

That's where you learned that.

Yeah. Something to take
your mind off it. Better

than the other hobbies
they were suggesting.

That was my first one.

I am so sorry I broke it.

Don't worry about it. I
over-reacted.

I'm also sorry that I snooped.

Not quite the happy story you
were looking for, huh?

I just should have respected
your privacy.

I just tend to do whatever I want.
I've always done whatever I want.

I picked up on that pretty
quickly.

You noticed?

So you mind if I ask about
your parents?

It was a car accident and I
was four.

That must have been hard.

I think that's what
everybody thought and so

they basically gave
me whatever I wanted.

So I just took the attention and the
pity and used that to fill the void.

It's no substitute for parents
though.

No.

I thought the money was. I mean
that's all I had left of them.

That sounds really heartless,
doesn't it?

No.

You know sometimes I wonder what they would
think of me know, if they were here.

I mean, just because they're not,
that's not an excuse. Is it?

Yeah.

Anyway...

Yeah. You want some help up
the stairs?

Oh no, I've got it.

Jeremy, you know you're not
that man any more, right?

Yeah. I'm still ashamed of him
though.

No, no, Mr. Ling actually the
technicians sprayed for those too.

Well it does take about forty-eight
hours to see the results.

Well I can have another technician
out to your... Mr. Ling?

Have an awesome day.

Hello, it's Isabelle. Leave a message
but I probably won't call you back.

Something smells so good.

That's because I'm cooking.

Cheeky.

Come on down.

Alright, but on one condition. After
dinner, I teach you how to play chess.

Okay... Why did you do that?

So I could kill that guy.

Alright, what are your next
couple moves?

I don't know, I'm not there yet.

Well you're supposed to be thinking
ahead like have it planned out.

Here let's start again.

* MUSIC

Don't forget to read the
ingredients this time.

I know what I'm doing.

Alright, try that out.

It's much better.

Good.

Check.

Check.

You're doing better.

Check mate!

Um... That's not actually
check mate, but good!

It's good. It is?

Yeah, really good.

I made it. Nice job.

Mr. Elliott?

Yes.

You have a phone call from Miss
Isabelle's credit card company.

Mr. Wilcox thought you should
speak with him.

Put it through. Hello.

What did they say?

You know exactly what they said.

I thought you should here it
from them this time.

She's been there almost two
weeks.

I tried calling her but...

She won't return the call.

She's not going to change. And I
think you agree that she needs to.

I had Melinda draw up an
agreement.

You want to cut her off?

Not completely. Just until
she's ready to be responsible.

You know if she receives that next portion
as planned it will be gone in mere months.

You said yourself she's been indulged.
Her entire life has been that way.

It's time to intervene.

Isabelle?

Yeah...

Hey.

Hey you.

So it's scheduled for the
delivery guy to come tomorrow.

Oh, right. Of course.

You're probably ready to get
home.

Uh, yeah. You're probably excited
to have your home back to yourself.

Yeah. Well I just thought
you'd like to know.

Thanks.

Hey.

Hi. What are you up to?

Just catching up on some
reading.

What is that?

The bible.

In Chinese?

Yeah.

You speak Chinese?

Well, I can read it. I told you I had a
lot of extra time when I moved here.

Right. And birdhouses weren't
enough for you.

Yeah. I learned the
characters, but...

But you don't speak it.

Or write it. It's harder than
it looks.

No, I believe you.

So I came to invite you to my
own farewell party.

I made the guest list?

Oh yes. Barely though, it was
close there for a while.

Wow.

I also thought about calling it the
"Thanks for not letting me die

or be eaten by a bear outside
in the cold party."

I think I like the first one
better.

Yeah, that sounded more fun.
Okay. So Yes?

Yeah, yeah.

Okay. So do you want to come
down in like an hour.

Sure.

Okay.

- You want some help?
- No, I'm good.

You sure?

Yup. I'll see you.

Wow! Did you make all this
from scratch?

I turned the oven on.

I thought about making
it from scratch but then

I found most of it
sitting in your freezer.

All of this was in my...

Wow. You look, uh, nice.

Thank-you.

Am I the first one here?

That was really good. Thank-you.

You're welcome.

Where are you going?

To get dessert.

You made dessert?

You know, it's not a party
unless you have dessert.

I agree.

S'mores.

Yeah. You know how to do this
right?

The girl from London is asking
me about s'mores.

Ready?

Yeah. Thank-you.

You're going to burn it.

You're critiquing my cooking?

No, your s'more making. It's
very different.

I like it crunchy.

That's burnt to a crisp. Okay.

Perfect. Cookies?

You don't have any Graham
Crackers. Oh, yeah.

For me?

It looks so messy. Is it good?

It's good.

It's a little messy. I'm
sticking to chocolate.

I've been wondering... why did
you let me stay in the end?

When you broke in?

Oh you love to put it that
way, don't you?

Well as much as you ticked
me off I'm not heartless.

So I'm lucky it was you then.

I mean, honestly, as
impossible as I thought it

was, I've actually felt
really at home here.

So, is that why you were so
bossy?

Me? Bossy?

Okay, so what you call bossy I think
was just some valid fashion advice.

I mean, we had to break you
from all that flannel and get

rid of that whole Paul Bunyan
thing you had going on.

I mean look how much better you look now.
It's like night and day.

I guess I was just lost
without you.

I'm glad you ended up here.

Even though I drove you crazy
most of the time?

Yeah. It was worth it.

I don't want you to leave
tomorrow.

You want me to stay here?

Yeah.

But my whole life is back in
New York.

Well, they haven't missed you
yet.

But eventually they will.
And as much as I've loved

being here with you I
can't just stay forever.

Yeah, you're right.

Jeremy...

I'm not like you. I can't just
leave it all behind.

Do you really want to go back
to that life?

Look, it's all I know. I have
too much...

Too much. Is it always about
money with you?

I never said anything about money.
I have people who care about me.

Unlike you I can't just leave them
behind and hide away up here.

Why don't you just go back home?

I have nothing to go back to.

That's not true. You
could start over, start

fresh. I'm sure everybody
has moved on by now.

I doubt it. What if I run into the
family or someone who remembers?

Even that would be better
than being isolated up here

with nothing but your past
just hanging over you.

I don't expect you to understand
because you don't face consequences.

I do too.

Really? Or do you just
make excuses and throw

money at a problem
until it disappears?

Well it's better than just running
away with your tail between your legs.

Just wasting your life
instead of giving yourself

a chance to have one and
actually being happy.

Who are we kidding?

You're going to go back to your
socialite crowd, your rich lifestyle.

You have everything you need.
You'll forget about me.

I will.

It's late. The delivery guy
gets here early.

Dietrich! Sauerkraut?

Ya!

I don't eat this stuff.

Try it.

I didn't order it this time or
the last five times.

Well, keep it for emergency.

Great, so if I run out of everything
else I'll have six jars of sauerkraut.

We're just about done here.

Good.

Oh, did you want me to send
these clothes back to you?

No. Keep them.

Isabelle...

Goodbye.

Get out of here Dietrich.

Really I'm fine Uncle Lyle.

No, my ankle doesn't even hurt
anymore.

It was all just a big accident
but I'm home now.

Alright... I'll come and see
you tomorrow, alright?

Okay. Bye.

No, no you are correct. In fact, I am
making a note on your account as we speak.

So, mm hmm... Okay. Thank-you so much
for calling. You have a great day.

Oh my gosh, you're back and
you're safe.

I'm fine.

Did you really get lost? I
never should have left you.

Um, as I recall I'm the one
who left you behind.

Yeah and then you got lost. I just
assumed you got back to the hotel okay.

Catherine, seriously, don't
worry about a thing.

But you're fine?

I was, um... well taken care of.

Yeah?

You know I can probably sneak away
early if you want to tell me about it.

I have to go and see Uncle
Lyle next.

Oh, yeah yeah...

But I will call you later,
alright?

Okay, yeah sure.

- See you.
- Bye.

I would have riled up every agency there
is to find you if I'd only known.

I should have told you where I
was going.

When I didn't hear
from you I assumed...

Well I didn't think it
was anything serious.

It's my own fault. I didn't expect
you to think anything was wrong.

You could have been hurt, or
worse.

I was lucky. Hello.

Glad to see you've returned
safely.

Thank-you.

Perhaps this isn't the right
time for us to discuss this.

I think it is the right time.
We've discussed this at length.

She just returned from a very
traumatic ordeal.

It doesn't change anything.

Wait, what's going on?

Per the provisions in
your parents trust we are

revoking you're next
inheritance installment.

What provisions?

If the three trustees
unanimously agree we can delay

the payout until such a time
as we deem appropriate.

And we have agreed.

Isabelle, your outlandish
spending, combined

with your unacceptable
public behavior...

It's not what your parents
would want.

We'll provide for your
living expenses. It'll

be a minimal amount
but you'll be fine.

And beyond that, perhaps
you should find a better

use of your time. Something
more meaningful.

Look, this whole
Switzerland thing... It's

demonstrated just how
reckless you've become.

We feel that this is about
your safety and protection

as much as the preservation
of your future.

Alright.

Alright?

It's fine.

The money was meant
to provide for you

Isabelle, but it won't
keep you happy forever.

I know.

Eleven carats...

And she's not going to give it
back?

No! She thinks she can keep it.

But he called off the engagement.
Probably to get that giant rock back.

She's not worth eleven carats.

Oh poor Dan though. Right
Isabelle?

Yeah.

He should sue her.

I heard that he might on
grounds of an affair.

She didn't!

Hey... are you busy tonight?

Your uncle really cut you off?

Yup. But I don't blame him.

You are unusually calm about
this.

No seriously you are starting to freak
me out. What happened to you over there?

I realized I have everything
that money can buy.

Yeah?

So isn't it a little odd that I
don't have everything I want?

What more could you want?

To be happy. I mean, when I
got there it drove me crazy.

But then it was so peaceful and calm
and quiet. I actually really liked it.

The quiet? Or the quiet with
a good looking guy?

Did I say he was good looking?

You just did.

Yeah he is.

So give me the rundown on this
guy.

I was horrible to him and he told me so.
And it made me feel disappointed.

How?

In myself. You know? Like for
the first time, maybe ever,

it actually bothered me that
I had hurt someone else.

I've been pretty terrible to
you too.

Not terrible...

Terrible. I held money over
your head just like you said.

And basically guilted you into
doing whatever I wanted you to do.

Why?

Because I wanted you around.
Because... maybe I

didn't want to lose the one
real friend that I had.

And you thought the money
thing was the way to do it?

Yes I did.

Isabelle, I am friends with
you in spite of the money.

Really?

Yeah. Wow, this guy really got
through to you.

Do you miss him?

Yeah.

You should try and see him.

I'm pretty sure he'd rather just forget
all about me. He asked me to stay, but...

You said no.

Yup.

And now you've changed your
mind?

Well I only said I didn't
want to stay there. It

didn't mean I didn't want
to be with him at all.

Isabelle, I have seen you chase
loser guys all the time.

This one's better than that
and you really like him.

So isn't he worth fighting for?

I don't know what to do God.

I know what I want, but, I can't
forgive myself for what I did.

How can anybody else?

Help me... Help me be strong.

Help me not be afraid.

Help me to forgive myself that
I might be happy again.

Hi Isabelle,

Just calling about an event we're
having tomorrow for the foundation.

You can call me and I can give
you more details about it.

You're doing good.

I feel a little out of my
element.

Well that's a good thing every
now and then.

There you go.

Thank-you. Thank-you.

He's just a kid.

Yes...

I think it was easier when I just
thought of them as a faceless bunch.

Opens your eyes doesn't it?

Yeah.

I'm glad you could come.

Me too. You know, I've actually been
thinking, if it's alright with you,

I'd like to be a little
bit more involved in the

foundation. I don't know
how much help I'd be.

I know I don't know very much,
but I'd kind of like to try.

Of course.

Yeah?

Are you happy Isabelle?

I'm trying to be.

I only ask because you've been
different since you came back.

Isn't that good thing? I mean...

Somewhat yes. But I still need to know
that you're happy. I mean truly happy.

Me too.

What happened out there?

I met someone and he was nice.

Just nice?

I think maybe I think about
him a little too much.

Well that could mean something.

Not really. We're too far apart.

You don't have to be.

It's not like I can pick up the phone and
call him. He is in the middle of nowhere.

Go see him. I'll call and have
the plane ready.

Uncle Lyle... Go!

I'm not even sure he would
want to see me.

Well you won't know until you
do see him.

Thank-you.

Exucse me?

Oh, guten Tag!

Hello, I'm looking for Jeremy.

Ya. He's gone.

Gone?

He asked me to watch the cabin.

Gone where?

To America, I think.

Why?

I don't know. He left this
morning.

Okay, thank-you.

Hey what happened?

He's not here.

What, are you serious?

Apparently he's on his way
back to the US.

To find you.

I don't know. I mean, I'd like to think
so but he could be going anywhere.

So, um, what are you going to
do?

Well I'm on my way back now
but I don't want to miss him.

Yeah, how soon can you get back?

Not soon enough. Look, I
know that you're at work,

but is there anyway that you could just
go to my place just in case he shows up?

Yeah, I can totally do that.

Thank-you.

Mr. Elliott?

Go ahead.

You have a visitor here, a Jeremy Edmunds.
He says he's here about Isabelle.

Send him in.

Hello Mr. Elliott. I'm sorry
to barge in on you like this.

How do you know Isabelle.

She stayed at my home for a little while.
I'm sorry, I

don't know if she told you
about her trip to Switzerland,

You're the man she met.

Yeah... Do you know where I
could find her?

Catherine!

Hey. He isn't here. But maybe...
he could have

gotten here before I could
get here but then...

Why wouldn't he be back by now.

Well maybe he was delayed, he was
on a commercial flight right?

Probably.

Then he's on his way.

Maybe I'm not the reason he
was coming out here at all.

Well, what other reason would
there be?

I don't know. I can think of a
few.

Maybe he never forgave me for the
way I left, the things that I said.

No, Isabelle, you're being too
hard on yourself.

You've never said that to me
before.

Well, it was never true until
today.

Listen, go get some rest
some rest you've got to be

tired. And besides, you've
jumped a million time zones.

Hi.

Hi.

You're here.

Yeah.

I mean, he said you were
coming, but...

Who?

Your delivery guy.

Dietrich? You spoke to him?

Yeah, um... I went to find you.

Well I came here.

Wow, I'm really tired, I've got to go. I've
been babysitting this apartment all day

and there's no food in the house
because Isabelle can't cook.

So, I'm just going to go get some
take-out probably, on my way home.

Sorry... but you guys have
great night though.

Listen I'm sorry. I... I was
cruel and selfish.

I've always been cruel and selfish.
You are the first

person to make me want to
be something else, and...

No, I was being selfish. I
was asking you to leave

everything behind but I wasn't
willing to do the same.

Maybe it doesn't even matter
any more.

It does... because you
deserve somebody with a

future and for me to
have a chance at that,

I've got to be willing to let
go of the past.

So does that mean you want me
in your future?

Yeah! But, it's not going to
be easy.

But if God could forgive me I
should be able to forgive myself.

Living in hiding really isn't
living at all.

Well neither is living without
the person that you love.

I'm so glad I found you.

Wait! Are you sure that you're ready
for me? I mean, I'm kind of...

I've survived so far.

Yeah? Okay.
