Maternal Secrets (2018) - full transcript

(eerie music)

(audience applauding)

Ladies and gentlemen,

please help me
welcome to the stage

your new Delaware State
Senator for District 11,

Jackson Lewis.

(audience applauding, cheering)

JACKSON:
My fellow Delawarians,

I thank you for electing me

into the venerable
Delaware legislature

to serve as your state senator.



There are so many people
here that I need to thank,

and I simply would not be here

without their love,
loyalty and support.

To my family,
all of my supporters,

and my amazing team,
who have worked

just incredibly hard
these last few months

putting in late nights,
long hours,

and sacrificing time
with friends and family.

Yes, I know.
It's been... tough.

But seriously,
to the generous donors

who've made this
all possible, thank you.

I truly appreciate you all.

But, no more politics tonight.

Tonight we celebrate.



Thank you, Senator.

REPORTER: I think I've
gotten everything I need.

- Thank you.
- No problem.

(sighs)
Did I do okay? Wait.

You're gonna tell me that
I made it too casual,

and I lost my...
What do you call it?

Position of Authority.

And no, you did great.
Congratulations.

Thank you.

Well, it's been a
pleasure working with you.

Oh. I see.

Am I getting fired?

No, but my job here is done.

Well, I was thinking
we could transition you

from campaign manager
to PR manager.

Perhaps we can
discuss later tonight?

Sure.

Now, make sure you
come and find me.

I will.

You best get to the bar quick.
James from Accounts

says the bar tab stops
at 300 dollars.

Can I get you something?

No, thanks.

Hi.

MAN:
Terrific, thanks.

Red wine, please.

(cell phone ringing)

This is Laura.

MAN: Senator, as I
was saying before,

I think a point five increase

is a small price to
pay for better roads.

Uh... one second, Steve.

LAURA: I'm not
feeling very well.

Hey.
Let me help you.

I, um, I don't feel very well.

I only had one.

Well, I mean you're probably
just tired from the campaign,

and if you rest, you'll be fine.

DRIVER: Yes sir.

JACKSON:
Oh, watch your step, Aubrey.

DRIVER: Vacation?

JACKSON: Yes, finally.

Just a few days before
I lose him in the next campaign.

God, the light is so stunning.

DRIVER: You have to
check out Horseshoe Bay.

And if you like seafood,

Bermuda fish chowder
is out of this world.

Hah. Yeah, I don't know if
she appreciates that too much.

It seems the little one
doesn't like seafood,

and Aubrey's paying for it.

DRIVER: Well, there's no excuse
for not having our legendary Swizzle.

JACKSON:
Isn't that alcoholic?

DRIVER: No,
it's made of rum. It's medicinal.

This is gorgeous!

I don't feel like they
should allow me in here.

Well they wouldn't normally,

but I had a word
with some people,

and they'll make an
exception this time.

Oh. Lucky me.

Did you see his face?

He looked terrified.

I know. It's like he thought
it was gonna bite him.

That must be the oddest
job he's had so far.

Being personally responsible

for a stuffed man-sized pillow.

I hope you can live without it.

You know I can't.

I just can't make any promises

it's gonna make
it up to the room.

I'm astonished
it survived the flight.

That is not funny!

I seriously can't
sleep without it.

And if I can't sleep,
then you can't sleep.

(sighs)
Vacations suit you.

All week just you and me.

Aubrey, let's have a toast
to make everybody jealous.

That is a very good idea.

I'll go first.

To our incredible relationship,

and a very exciting future.

(Jackson sighing)

Oh, my God, you are so
weird about that word.

Relationships are something
you have to work at.

What we have is far better.

So, how about to us
and an amazing holiday?

Our last one before the baby.

Ooh.

But it's not gonna be easy.

We will have to work
at being parents.

I'll need to.

You won't.

You'll be amazing.

And I think it will
make me love you

even more than I already do.
If that's possible.

Well that's very sweet, Jax.

(classical piano music plays)

Here are your club sodas.

Would you like anything else?

No, not for now, thanks.

WAITRESS:
First time in Bermuda?

Yes.
Well for me, anyway.

Ah. Babymoon.

We've got about
eight weeks to go.

Aw. Congratulations.

You know I want to,
but I just think

what we have
right now is perfect.

It's just kinda hard to
beat a city apartment.

Why are you so stuck
on staying in the city?

I mean we could venture
out just a little bit

and get a proper house.

But babies are tiny.

Jackson.
Be serious.

I'm sorry, I just...

feel like you're
not ready for this.

Wow. Look I just
like my... our place.

There's nothing more
to it than that.

And your family?

We've been through this.

AUBREY: I'm the
mother of your child.

I should know them.

Look, we're just, we're
just not close, all right.

But soon, I promise.

That when the time is
right, you'll meet my mom.

Am I a secret?

Of course not, honey.

Look it's just it's
taking my mom a while

to get used to the idea,
but she'll come around.

It's going to be totally
different with our kid.

We'll spend time together
like a real family.

Not like yours.

I haven't seen
a single family photo.

My family.

Look, when you meet my mom,
you'll understand.

She can be a little
bit difficult.

Well, she should
be happy for us.

When we get back,
I'll call the realtors,

and I'll set up
more appointments, okay?

Excuse me, can we get
some more bread please?

What have I done now?

Nothing.

Well, maybe it's
just the hormones.

JACKSON: All right,
we're almost there. Almost there.

Right here, right here.
Take my arm, take my arm.

Laura?

Are you doin' okay?

(knocking)

Can you hear me?
I'm just checking up on you.

All right, I'm coming in.

- AUBREY: Hey Jax?
- Yeah.

AUBREY: I'm not
feeling so well.

JACKSON: What's goin' on?

I'm okay. I just, I think
I'm gonna go up to the room

and get out of the heat
for a little bit.

All right, I'm coming with you.

No, no, no.
Honestly, I'm okay.

Stay here.

I'm just gonna (sighs)
get my feet up in the A.C.

and come back and
meet you for a swim.

Are you sure?

Uh-huh.

JACKSON: Okay,
if you're not back,

I'm going to check up on you
in half an hour, all right?

Perfect.
Love you.

By the way, I know I've
been a little crazy lately.

I'm sorry.
You know I don't mean it.

Mwah!

- WAITER: Mr. Lewis?
- Yes.

(water running)

There you are,
I've been looking for you.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I thought you were someone else.

Hi, may I help you Miss?

I'm just looking
for my boyfriend.

Hi. I can't seem to
find my boyfriend.

This is what he looks like.
Have you seen him?

His name is Jackson Lewis.

GITA:
No, I haven't seen him.

Okay. I'm sure it's
a simple explanation.

I just can't get a hold of him.

It's probably best if
you wait in your room.

Yeah.
You're probably right.

I'm sure he's going
to show up any second

and expect to head
straight to dinner

and then I'll be
the one that's not ready.

If we see Mr. Lewis, we
will send him to his room.

AUBREY (on phone):
Jax, it's me.

I...

I don't know where you are.

I've been calling
and calling you.

I've texted you a million times.

Please, just call me.

Text me and tell me you're okay.

I'm worried about you.

I... I have no idea
where you are.

Um...

I guess I'll try you again.

Love you.

(sighs)

OPERATOR: 9-1-1.
What's your emergency?

Police, yes.

I'd like to report
a missing person.

My boyfriend, he...

he has a condition.

He has epilepsy.
And normally he's fine,

but it's triggered by stress.

Ma'am, it's our
policy that any case

involving missing tourists
gets our immediate priority.

He's extremely private
about his condition.

He's in the public eye.

He's in politics, so you can
see that this can't get out.

I understand.
I think the first thing

we're going to do
is contact the hospital

and see if there's
been anyone admitted

matching his description.

We'll just take things
from there, all right?

Hi, I just spoke
with hotel security

and they have reviewed
the surveillance footage.

There has been no
suspicious activity

out by the pool this afternoon.

Just guests coming and going.

Take my private number.

Give me a call
if he gets in touch,

and we'll be in communication.

All right?

♪ To love is seeking ♪

♪ But I never really thought ♪

♪ And all this wasted time ♪

JACKSON: Okay,
if you're not back

I'm gonna check up on you
in half an hour, all right?

AUBREY: Perfect.
Love you.

(cell phone ringing)

Jax?

It's Officer Andrews.

I spoke with the hospital,

and there have been
no seizure patients,

and no one admitted
this afternoon

that fits
Mr. Lewis's description.

We could take that as
potentially good news.

So, try and get some rest,

and we'll look into
this matter overnight.

Thank you.

(cell phone ringing)

WOMAN: Aubrey?

AUBREY: Mom!
Jackson's gone.

Gone? Where is he?

He just sent me
this... this email.

He emailed you?

I have it right here.

He said "Aubrey,
you're going to be very hurt

"when you get this.

"But I've had to go back
home early to get some space.

"It's unexpected, I know.

"And you will probably
want to kill me.

"I will do the right
thing by you and the baby,

"but right now our relationship
is moving too fast.

Jackson."

We're coming out
to see you tomorrow.

No. No, please don't, Mom.

I need to figure
this out on my own.

- No, sweetheart.
- I'm okay.

I just, I can't talk about
this anymore right now.

Aubrey? Aubr...

(sobbing)

- Mr. Lewis?
- Yes.

- This is from Mrs. Lewis.
- Thank you.

(keypad clicking)

WOMAN: Surprise.

- (knocking)
- WILLIAMS: Miss Ross.

Miss Ross, are you there?

Miss Ross, are you okay?

ANDREWS: Miss Ross,
are you and the baby all right?

I... I...

I got an email from Jackson.

He's fine.

"I know you'll
probably want to kill me

"but right now our relationship
is moving too fast."

Wait.
Why would he say that?

Sorry, I don't know
what to tell you.

Jax would never
let us use that word.

He didn't write that email.
Someone else must have sent it.

I'm sorry, Miss, but
we're not going to be able

to help you
in this matter further.

AUBREY: Why?
You can help me.

WILLIAMS:
With what?

Find out who really
sent that email.

Miss Ross, sometimes
in cases like this,

the best thing to do is to
take things at face value

as difficult as that seems,

and I know deep down
you believe that,

which is why this is
hitting you so hard.

Don't tell me what I know.

I don't know anything
until I've seen proof

that he's left the island.

He didn't write that email.

Paul, I need you to check a name

through passport control for me.

Check it against the exit list.

Jackson Lewis.

He entered the
country six days ago.

Okay, thanks.

He's still here.
Somewhere.

(sobbing)

AUBREY: Aah!

(sobbing)

Aubrey? Aubrey?
Is that you?

I was wondering if I
was gonna run into you.

How are you doing?

Do you need a ride
to the airport?

What?

Well I can take you.

It'll save a taxi.

You know I think this is
all for the best really.

Jackson just needs some space.

Wait, Jackson?
Who are you?

Mrs. Lewis.

Well, you can call me Rose.

His mother. Oh, my God, I had
no idea you were even here.

He didn't tell you?

Oh, that is so Jackson.

Yeah.

I'm so happy to meet you.

Do you know where he is?

ROSE: I do.

Thank God, I've been
looking everywhere for him.

I've been worried
sick about him.

Well, he's fine.

Shall we go?

I'm sorry.

I think there's been some
sort of miscommunication.

Is there something
you're not telling me?

Oh. Well, I think this
is between you and Jackson.

Right, but I can't find him.

What's going on?

I don't think it's
really my place to...

(clears throat)

I should go.

No, please.

Mrs. Lewis,
I have to see him.

What's going on?
Is it something I've done?

Look, I know that you've
had your concerns about us.

I know things have
moved really quickly,

but we love each
other very much.

Jackson does not love you.

He's with the woman
he truly loves.

I'm sorry.

Are you talking about Samantha?

Samantha Mason, the lawyer?

I'm sure Jackson will
do the right thing by you.

He just needs some distance.

Look.
Go home.

Be with your own family.

(sighing)

Sam? What are you doin' here?

Happy to see me, Jay?

A little under dressed,
don't you think?

You bought me this.
Don't you remember?

Okay.
What are you doin' here?

I missed you, I had to see you.

Does my mom know that
you are in her hotel room?

Yes, she invited me.

Where is she?

She'll be here soon.

Look, I'm gonna go.
I'll come back when she's here.

Just tell her to call me.

Stay, just a little bit.

I thought you'd be happy.

Let's talk about this.

Samantha, we have been through
this time and time again.

There is nothing left to say.

You can't spare 10 minutes?

Jackson, what is wrong with you?

Why are you acting like this?

You don't need your phone?

JACKSON: Give me
the phone, Samantha.

Oh, the passcode is the same.

This is more like it.
(giggles)

JACKSON: Stop.

You've never stopped
me before, Jay.

Don't call me that.
You need to leave.

You are in a really bad mood.

- What is wrong with you?
- Get out!

Have I done something?

You need help.

SAMANTHA: I did what
you said. I gave it a break.

I know where I went wrong,
but I've changed.

- Sam, stop!
- Why?

Because we are no longer
together and you know why.

I'm with Aubrey.
She's expecting my child.

Oh, Jackson.

I hate people making
a fool of you.

That's not your child.

I'm done.

We can still work on us.
I'm prepared to do that for you.

JACKSON: No. No, Samantha.
You're not listening.

She's not right for you.

She won't put you first
like I did. She's an artist.

What could you possibly
have in common?

This is ridiculous,
you know that?

Five years.
Five years, Jay.

Why would you throw it away
after everything I did for you?

After everything
my family did for you.

You just, you just don't
know when to stop, do you?

What about your mom?

Don't care what she has to say?

She wants us to have a family.

Don't bring her into this.

It's your mom
who brought me out here.

Nah, I don't believe that.

It's true, Jay.

She brought me out
here to stop you

from making the biggest
mistake of your life.

If you leave, I'll talk.

She only remembers speaking
to you after the speeches.

You offered her a job,
the next thing she wakes up, and...

Should we be worried?

It doesn't look good.

She believes her drink was
spiked at your election party,

attended only by
your inner circle.

We're not exposed otherwise,
as far as I can tell.

We had security.

We shut the party down
at the legal time.

The photos on the internet
were taken on her cell,

so no evidence.

All right. Good.

The tests weren't
able to confirm rape.

Looks like sexual assault.

Are they interviewing people?

Yes.

You'll have to answer questions.

Is there anything else?

As your attorney,
I'll follow instructions.

But off the record,
this is only going to hurt you.

The press, the costs.

So what are you saying?

Make it disappear.

JACKSON: Bill, I
didn't do anything.

- It's how it looks.
- I don't care how it looks.

Do you want to
fight it publicly?

No.

Think of Laura.

She is humiliated by this.

She wants this to go away.

Do you really want to put
her through the ordeal

of trials and testimonies?

How much are we talking?

(knocking)

Hi, Samantha.

How are you?

Well. Thanks.

Hey, Sweetie.

I was dropping by and
thought I'd bring you lunch.

JACKSON: So what
about the photographs?

They've been blocked by
the social media companies.

SAMANTHA: What's happening?
What's going on?

We'll discuss it later.

(sobbing)

(sighing)

Hi, sweetheart, it's me.

Mm-hmm.
I ran into her in the lobby.

Well, she was obviously upset.

You know, she's a lot prettier
than I thought she'd be.

How are you?

Aw, I'm so happy that
you're getting along well.

Aw, that's nice.

When can I see you two?

Well I have to meet somebody,

but I could be there
in about an hour.

How's that?

Yes, sure. I'll have them
bring me my boat.

Okay, wonderful.
See you then.

Bye.

Still no sign?

No.

I need to know which room
Rose Lewis is staying in please.

I'm sorry, Ma'am. I can't share
information about another guest.

Do you have her contact details?

No. No, I don't.

Look...

I know you know
what room she's in.

The father of my
child is missing.

Rose Lewis knows where he is.

Are you telling me that
you're not gonna help me?

I'll tell you what.

I'm sorry, what seems
to be the problem here?

The problem is I still
can't find my boyfriend

and she won't help me.

Okay, so why don't we
step into my office

and let me see if I
might be able to assist?

Great.

Rose Lewis knows
where my boyfriend is.

I simply want her room
number so I can talk to her.

Look, let me search
the hotel for your boyfriend.

Then I can speak to him

and ask him to offer
up his contact details.

Hopefully, he can
talk to you directly.

So why don't you
go, get some rest,

and let me handle this for now.

I can print off
all the guests names,

just between you and me.

Hello, sweetheart.

Hello.

I love your blouse.

I haven't seen this one before.

Oh.
Well, thank you.

So, tell me everything.
How is he?

It's just all so perfect.
He is so happy.

Aw, well then
I'm very happy too.

So where is Jay?
Why isn't he here with us?

There is one person
he did not want to see.

You know, I don't
think she ever thought

that a baby wouldn't
tie him down for good.

So what's this
woman's name again?

It's Rose, Rose Lewis.

Okay.
Let's have a look through.

Uh-uh.

Okay.
How about under Mason?

Samantha Mason.

Oh, room 526.

A duplex suite, reserved
for four nights.

5-2-6.

GITA: There's another
reservation under the same name

in room 3317.

Thank you, Gita.

I've covered for you
one too many times.

You never needed to,

and you certainly
don't need to anymore.

You don't need me to keep quiet?

JACKSON: You...

What I know could finish you.
Finish your career.

You could lose everything
you've ever wanted.

Then you can see how it feels.

Really?

You're gonna...

Why would do you that to me?

I'm doing it for us.

I am warning you, Sam.

Are you gonna hurt me
like that other girl?

JACKSON: You know
I didn't do anything.

I had your back and
then you walked out on me.

JACKSON: Why are
you doing this to me?

(thudding)

Come on, Rose.
Open up.

I need to talk to you right now.

How did you get my room number?

Are you crazy?

AUBREY: Jackson?

He's not here.

Jackson?

ROSE:
I'm calling security.

Go right ahead.

Yes, this is room 526.

Someone has given
out my room number

without my authorization.

I'd like to speak to
a manager immediately please.

Okay, thank you, ma'am.

Samantha, please open this door.

Excuse me, ma'am.
Would you help me please?

- Yes.
- I went to get some ice for my swollen feet

and stupidly locked
myself out of my room.

- The key's inside.
- Reception can assist you.

I really have to go.

No one told me about this
part of being pregnant.

- You'll be fine.
- Sorry, do you mind?

Just this once.
I really have to go.

MAID: Okay.

Thank you!

Lucinda, has a pregnant
woman come by here?

Miss Ross, we're coming in.

(gasping)

Oh, my God.
Oh, God.

What have you done?

SAMANTHA: I had your back
and then you walked out on me.

JACKSON: Why are
you doing this to me?

Then you should be out
there looking for him. him,

Why do you assume
that he's in trouble?

You saw the same blood I did.

But you seemed sure that
the blood belongs to him.

It could be this girlfriend.

Miss Mason.

She's not his girlfriend.

When did you last
see Miss Mason?

We had lunch earlier
this afternoon.

She and Jackson have just
rekindled their relationship.

ANDREWS:
And how was your son?

- He was fine.
- You saw him?

Sam did.

How can you be
sure that he's okay

if you didn't see for yourself?

Well, he hasn't disappeared,

he just doesn't want
Aubrey to find him.

Why are you here on the island?

Aubrey claims that
she's carrying his child.

It can get complicated.

As you are the only one
who has had any contact,

I'm gonna need to hold
on to your passport

until we sort this matter out.

Thank you.

Mrs. Lewis?
Mrs. Lewis.

I know you think I'm wrong,
but what if I'm not?

If anything has
happened to Jackson,

how could you live
with yourself?

What kind of mother are you?

One that wants the
very best for her child.

And that's not me?

I know what kind
of woman you are.

Jackson may be
impressed with it,

but I certainly am not.

You know what, Rose?

You don't have to like me,

but I am the mother
of his child,

and nothing can change that.

Are you sure about that?

Yes.

Well, then you won't mind
taking a paternity test.

I don't know who is giving
you these ideas about me.

Miss Ross, Ms. Lewis,

we've gone through the security
footage from the hotel.

You might want to
take a look at this.

That was just after
he left the pool area,

and this is later
that same evening.

AUBREY: Wait, rewind that. Right there,
he looks like he's hurt.

WILLIAMS:
It does look that way.

Where did they go?

WILLIAMS: Cameras track them
to a car in the parking lot.

We lose them after that.

Great.
Am I free to go?

I want you to call Samantha.

How dare you.

Call her. Now.

Hello? Hi.
Hi, is everything alright?

I stopped by your hotel room.

Well, I'm just a little worried.

Oh. Okay.
Oh, I thought so.

Okay. Thank you.

Bye.

What'd she say?

Well, it's just as I thought.

Jackson took this little slip
when he got out of the shower,

but everything's okay.

But where were they?

Rose. Take me to him.

Please.

Come on.

Jackson really
likes this island.

He was excited to
share it with me.

Well, you weren't the first.

He brought Samantha here, right?

No, I'd say that
she brought him here.

Her family has business
interests here in Bermuda,

so it's like a home away
from home for those two.

AUBREY: Great.
It's closed.

ROSE: You wanna look around?

No, I don't honestly.

I think it's a waste of time.

I think it's better
if we go back.

Aren't you even a little
worried about your son?

From the moment your
child takes its first breath

you do nothing but worry.

What if they don't learn how
to walk or fail in school?

What if they fall in
with the wrong crowd?

Only a mother knows
the sacrifices

she makes for her children.

But you'll know one day,

and then I hope that you
won't think me so awful.

You're fighting a losing battle.

It isn't good for
you or the baby.

(elevator bell ringing)

I can't seem to
get my key to work.

- Oh, the pain.
- Yeah, I must have put it too close to my phone.

It's room 3-3-1-7.

Last name Mason.

Thank you, Ms. Mason.

I'm sorry you've been havin'
trouble with that key.

Thank you.

Are you going to talk
to me at some point?

You know I had nothing
to do with it right?

SAMANTHA: How could
you be so careless?

How is this my fault?

You invited a young
girl onto the team.

I told you it would
only lead to trouble.

Really, Sam?

She wanted this to happen.

You think she did
this to herself?

You think a member
of the team did it?

No, and I need to find
a way to prove that.

You're ruining
everything for us.

Make it go away.

I can't.
Even if I wanted to,

I don't have the money that
our lawyers are asking for.

How much are we looking at?

It's more than I have.

Let my family help.

No, I couldn't do that.

They've done too
much for me already.

They would want to.

They didn't support
your campaign

for you to just throw it away.

And what about me?

You want to humiliate me?
I love you.

I only want what's best for us.

Do you know where this is?

- The church?
- Oh, you do?

Can you take me?

What's this driver up to?

ROSE: Where are you going?

To find Jackson.
Where are you going?

Do you even know where he is?

DRIVER:
What the hell are you doing?

You were right on my tail.

You said we had to follow
her because she was in labor.

What?
No, I'm not in labor.

And no, I don't know
where Jackson is,

but I'm not leaving
the island until I do.

Look, I have no clue
what's going on here.

I don't want no part of this.

Wait. Wait, you can't
just leave me here. Stop!

If it makes you feel any better,

why don't I help
you look for him?

I know this island much
better than you do.

Fine, but hurry up.

ROSE: I'm afraid
it will only confirm

what you already know.

I only wanna know the truth.

Well, the truth may not
be what you want to hear.

(clock ticking)

SAMANTHA:
Good morning, sweetheart.

Jackson.

The... the details
of Laura's settlement

can't be made public, right?

ATTORNEY:
It's a sealed case.

All right. So, what exactly
am I looking at here?

The worst possible scenario.

Laura's tox report shows
the presence of alcohol

and your prescription drugs.

It's a good thing
you took my advice.

Sam.

No, no, no, no, no.

You need to rest.

♪ Did you hold me close ♪

Just relax.

I've got everything
under control.

Do you remember that trip
we took to Rome four years ago?

Wasn't it a dream?

God, if someone had
told us everything

we would have to go through.

But nothing worth
having comes easy.

Well this was
their favorite place,

and they're not here,

so I guess they don't
want to be found.

I don't really
care what they want.

Are you sure you
want to go on with this?

It's only gonna
cause you more pain.

Ever since I met Jackson,

we've been together
every single day.

He even took me to
Hong Kong with him

for his birthday last year.

I love him.

And he loves me.

So yeah, I wanna keep going.

The water.

(grunting)

Hello.

He is so happy.

Aw.

Well, then I am very happy too.

We've been talking,
houses, and even dates.

That's wonderful.

Timing wise, we
want to start a family

before we get into campaigning

from state legislature
to US Senate.

Well, he will make a
fine US Senator one day.

And then working out how
we celebrate his birthday

in the middle of this campaign,

there's just so much to plan.

So where is Jay?
Why isn't he here with us?

- SAMANTHA: Hiding.
- ROSE: Oh.

There is one person
he did not want to see.

(laughing)

His mother?

Hardly!

Thank you.

So when will it be safe?

How about tonight?

We could go for dinner
at the lighthouse.

We've still got a lot
of catching up to do.

LAURA: I can't believe it.
He offered me the job.

PR manager for two years.

I mean, I knew he was
appreciating my work,

but I didn't want to assume.

Well, congratulations.

Cheers.

Are you okay?

LAURA: I don't know.

You can't drive home like this.

Shall we call you a cab?

(panting)

There's only room for
one woman in his life.

JACKSON: Laura.

Laura?

(camera shutter clicking)

Medication.

Come on!

That girl cannot take
no for an answer.

It is pathetic how
desperate she is.

I don't know what
you saw in her.

Right, enjoy your stay.

MANT: Thank you.

AUBREY: Hi.
Have you seen these two people?

I'm sorry but I can't help you.

The police already made a call,

and I let them know
there's no one staying here

fitting that description.

Okay, I just need a minute.

Thank you.

(sighs)

Are you giving up?

Well the police have already
called all the resorts,

and we're not getting anywhere.

Yeah, you should just go.

Really, I just want to be alone.

No, we're going
to stay together.

In case they call.

Have you eaten anything today?

No, I really don't
feel like food.

Well it's not just for
you, it's for the baby.

The thought of food
just makes me so nauseous.

ROSE: All food?

No, not all food.
I mean the only thing

I can think about eating
is sauerkraut.

(laughing)

Oh. I'm sorry.

When I was pregnant,

all I could think about
eating with sauerkraut.

(laughs)

JACKSON: How was the beach?

It was good.
I had a nice swim.

I know I've been difficult.

You have been in
the worst situation.

You shouldn't have
stepped out on me.

But that's why you need me.

I can help you change.

Can I get you anything else?

What more could a man want?

No, no.
Sam, come on.

We really don't have to do this.

SAMANTHA: Don't be shy.

I don't want you to
think I'm just using you.

SAMANTHA: I won't.

- I want to.
- Come on, no.

Seriously let's just sit.
Let's relax.

Let's not do this.

Come on, really, let's...

What's this?

You weren't going to...

You don't wanna get married.

You do not want to get married.

You don't have to do this.

It's not your duty.

Samantha, you're right.

I don't have to.

So you won't?

Good.

(sighs)
Good.

You know this ring
would never do for me.

I've always wanted one

with two little pink
stones either side.

Be so cute.

You know what
would be brilliant?

We should announce our
engagement at the next election.

Can you imagine?

Your mom's face
would be brilliant.

Just think of the publicity.

All we need is a miscarriage
and it'll be perfect.

That's enough!

There's only one girl
I would every really marry,

and that's Aubrey.

What?

JACKSON:
The ring is for her.

What did you say?

No. Fine.

You stay with that cheap slut.

Don't forget what I know!

What's that?

SAMANTHA: It's your
drugs in that girl's drink.

Samantha, go and say whatever
lies you want about me.

Ruin my career if it
makes you feel any better,

but we are never
going to be together.

What you did to that
girl is unforgivable.

I had nothing to do with it.

Yeah, yeah sure you didn't.

Who do you think
the press will believe?

And what great timing.

Yeah, why's that?

You have a choice.

Aubrey or your career?

The answer is right in here.

You think you can
do better than me.

(screams)

She won't love you
half as much as I did.

She won't put you
first like I did.

She won't forgive
your indiscretions.

JACKSON:
I wouldn't want her to.

SAMANTHA:
We could have been so happy

if you'd just given
us a real chance.

No.

(screaming)

Sam, what are you doing?

- Stop it!
- Help, he's trying to kill me!

(screaming)

(siren wailing)

Thank you for
getting here so fast.

We have the male guest
in a separate room,

but the young
lady's in my office

and she's really upset.

(sobbing)

Let her tell you her story.

We were at the bar last night
and he was drinking a lot.

More than usual.

There was this guy who
was checking me out,

and this morning
I said I was flattered.

Why did I say that?

I shouldn't have
said it but I did.

And he got so mad
and it's all my fault.

Am I in trouble?

There's never a good reason
to put hands on a woman.

But I don't want
to press charges,

he's been doing so
much better recently.

Has he done this before?

We need to take you
to see a doctor.

And then we'll put him in
lock up until he dries out.

You need to think carefully

about whether you're going to
let him off the hook again.

What happened, Mr. Mason?

Who is Mr. Mason?

My name is Jackson Lewis.

Listen she is making
this whole thing up.

Those injuries she has,
she did that to herself.

Yeah, right.

Listen, call my mom, all right?

Her cell is in my phone.

She'll fix this.

All right.

(cell door squealing)

Sweetheart, where are you?

No, Aubrey is here
right next to me.

Is that Jackson?

I can arrange that, yeah.

Okay, I'll see you then.

Driver, where are we?

We're just coming
up to the post office.

Would you turn around?

I want to go to Palmetto Wharf
as soon as possible please.

Rose, please just
tell me what's going on.

Was that Jackson?
Is he okay?

He's fine. I'm taking you
to see him right now.

Okay?

- Come on board.
- AUBREY: Is this your boat?

Oh, we're members
of a private club

so we use it when we're here.

Can you just tell
me what Jackson said?

We're going to see him,

and he can explain everything.

Come on!

Jackson never mentioned anything
about having a boat here.

I know you can
hear me out there!

Shouldn't be in here,
she's crazy!

Made the whole thing up!

Anybody hear me?

I need to make a phone call!

I know my rights!

AUBREY: I've never
been too good on water.

Oh, I love it.

Oh, there's some water
underneath here in the fridge,

if you want some.

Thanks.

- Mom!
- Oh, my god.

Darling, it's a urinal.

What's going on?
What happened?

Mom, get me out of here.

Can you give us a
moment in private please?

Thank you.

What have you done?

I sorted out your bail.
I'm here now.

Everything is gonna
be all right, Jackson.

I'll never forgive you for this.

My flight was delayed.

I got here as soon as I could.
What more do you want me to do?

Why would you
bring Samantha here?

Samantha?

You gave me the letter
with the room key.

- What?
- Mom, where's Aubrey?

Aubrey? How should I know
where Aubrey is?

You're not making any sense.

You know you're not supposed
to drink with your medication.

You know that.

Would you kindly sign off

on this bail bond
please, Mrs. Lewis?

I'm gonna need to
see some passports.

Here. Aren't we heading away
from the main island?

Yeah, that's what you
do when you go by boat.

AUBREY: I'm not feeling so
well. I think we should go back.

Sea sick?

I would just feel
a lot better on land.

Aw, being sea sick is awful.

Listen, why don't
you come up here

and sit down in the front

and keep your eyes
off into the horizon.

It's okay.

It was just a boat's wake.

No, I think we should
go back right now.

I wanna go back.

No, we're almost there.

- Aubrey, wait.
- No.

You stay away from me.

I know who you are.

ROSE: Stop! Please.

Aubrey. Aubrey, stop. Wait!

Help!

Somebody! Help me!

(gasps)

ROSE: Samantha!

She ruined everything.

Oh my God, let go of her!

(shouting)

(tires squealing)

(thudding)

(groaning)

Help.

Somebody please help me.

(sirens wailing)

(machine beeping)

Aubrey, I'm here.
I'm here.

Jackson.

No, no, no, don't.
You need to rest.

You need to rest, all right?

They had to perform an
emergency caesarean, okay.

So our son is premature, so
he's in the NICU right now.

All right? The doctor says
he's going to be fine.

A son?

Can I see him?

Yes, yes, in a minute.

What happened?

I never left you.

Sam.
It's all over now.

And Rose?
Ms. Mason?

She's been questioned
by the police.

She had no idea.

Sweetie, I'm so sorry
I wasn't there for you.

I let you down.

Can I come in?

Mom, now's not
really a good time.

How are you feeling?

Aubrey, meet my mom.

Mom?

I never thought I would meet

the mother of my first
grandchild like this.

I'm going to let the two of
you have some time alone.

You're not going
to have any privacy

for the next 18 years or so,

you better make the most of it.

Right.

JACKSON: Mom. Wait.

Whoa. What is that?

JACKSON: It's a car seat.

No, no, no, no.

Will you marry me?

Jackson.

Yes.

Oh, Jackson.

Congratulations.
Congratulations.

Wait, I told my parents
that you had left me.

I don't think they'll be
very happy about this.

Well, on the contrary,

your dad and I get
along quite well.

He gave me his blessing.

He did?

I think they're here now.

Mom!

We were so worried.

You see I... I had this plan

to bring us all
together in Bermuda.

Of course, if I had known

you would have said
yes in a hospital bed,

I could have saved
a ton of money.

Are you ready to
see your baby boy?

Yeah.

I am.

Hey.

Shhh.
