Fascination (2004) Movie Script
[Fascination

[helicopter whirring]
They told me
it was accidental
So strange the way
my father died
And then there was
the day I met her
It was the first day
of our love
The sun aflame
The sky ablaze
The air white-hot
on my skin
Jealous her
Only her
Always her
Fascination
Fascination
I was burning alive
then as now
I was burning alive
then as now
I was burning alive
Fascination
[pills rattling]
[waves crashing]
[lighter clicking]
[smashing]
[bells tolling]
[rain pattering]
I'd been meaning...
I'd been wanting
to spend more time
with you, Pop...
just to tell you
how much I love you...
how much you'll
always mean to me.
[Scott]
But I was too busy,
and I didn't have the time.
And now it's too late.
I'm sorry.
[Scott]
I thought you gave those up.
I did.
[lighter clicking]
[exhaling]
What's wrong, Scott?Mom, it just
doesn't make sense to me.
He was a world-class
swimmer.
He made that swim
to the island
a thousand times.
Something isn't right.
We have a lot to cover.
As you may all know,
Patrick's estate
was extensive
and diversified.
I thought I just might
mention at the outset
that everything is in order.
There are no surprises
to be had.
As is customary,
the bulk of the estate
will go to Patrick's wife,
Maureen.
Two-thirds to be exact.
The remaining third
will go to his son, Scott.
Shall we begin?
[birds chirping]
[An angel's fallen

Cover me
with thoughts
of you
Hold me close
I'll hold you true
One by one
we come alive
Colors that
won't ever die
Faithful only
you and I
An angel's fallen
from the sky
Closer than
I've ever been
To all the things
you mean to me
One by one
we come alive
Colors that
won't ever die
Faithful only
you and I
An angel's fallen

One by one

Colors that

[people chattering]
[Maureen]
Thanks. Thanks very much.
Thank you.
Hi. How are you, darling?
[Scott]
Welcome back.
Take my bags.Oh.
Oh.Mmm.
Welcome back.
You look amazing.
You look beautiful.
You look beautiful!
Is this it?
Uh, well, no, not exactly.
[Maureen]
Uh...
This is my son, Scott.
Oliver Vance.
Very happy to meet you.
Maureen's told me
a lot about you.
I've invited Oliver
to stay with us
for a few days.
You got enough room
back there, sweetheart?Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine.
I want you to get
to know each other.
So, your mother tells me
you're a composer.
Yeah.Hmm.
Must be a great combination.
Handsome young guy,
a brooding composer.
Bet you have to
beat the girls off
with a stick, right?
[laughing]
Oh, he's terrible.
You should have
seen him on the ship.
There were passengers
who didn't know whether
to laugh themselves silly
or throttle him.
Not a dilemma
your mother shared.
She started laughing at me
the moment she saw me.
No, with you. With you.
[Maureen laughing]
[crickets chirping]
[Maureen moaning]
[Maureen moaning]
[Oliver panting]
[motorboat whirring]
Ahem.
It's like we're in a race
and we're coming down
the home stretch.
How about I let you
win this one?
If I win,
can I take you out to dinner?
I'm sorry.
I have plans tonight.
I see.
I'll see you there, then.What?
[laughing]
I win.Okay.
So you have plans tonight?
I do. I do.
Kelly Vance. Hi.
[music playing]
This is nice, isn't it?
You know, Scott used
to sit in sometimes
with the house band here.
Really?Yeah.
He was only eight years old
at the time.
A little child prodigy.
[Max]
Good evening.Mmm.
Condolences, Mrs. Doherty.
Nice to see you.
Oh. Thank you so much.
Thank you.Yes.
Mr. Doherty.Thank you.
[Oliver]
Are we going to tell them?
Your father tells me
that you're living
in New York.
[Kelly]
Yeah, I have been.
In fact, one of the reasons
we haven't seen each other
for quite a long time
is because we both
travel so much.
True.
In fact,
when I got this message,
I was quite surprised.
This message telling me
to get myself to Florida
as soon as possible
because he had
some important
announcement to make.
Did someone mention dancing?
Hmm?
Are you gonna put us
in the picture, Dad,
or are we just gonna have
to sit here and, um, wait?
Are you gonna teach me
some of those
new little steps
you taught me on board?Darling, darling,
I really don't... Really,
I don't think we can
put this off any longer.Come on. Come on.
Put what off?
Come on.
Put what off?
I think we should tell them.
[Maureen]
I, um... We...
We, Oliver and I,
that is...
we asked you both
here tonight...
Uh...to--to tell you that,
um...
Listen. Listen,
I think what Maureen
is trying to say
is that, um,
we're in love and, uh...
[Maureen sighing]
Madly, deeply, truly!
Now I know this is gonna
come as a bit of a...
A bit of a surprise, but--You could say that.
We're getting married.
[Kelly]
Congratulations.
Thank you.
It's a shock.
We-we do understand.
But you know,
with Oliver
living in London,
well, his whole life
would have to be rearranged,
and, well, he needs...
He needs a commitment.
It's not fair
to keep him dangling.
Not exactly dangling.
Well, we thought
that if we put it off
and if he goes
back to London...
Things...
Things happen sometimes
things we have
no control over.
[people chattering]
We just don't want to risk
losing each other, that's all.
Scott, please, wait.
I'll go.
Are you out of your mind?
I'm sorry, Scott.
I wanted to put off
telling you,
but Oliver's right.
Trying to keep
our relationship secret
to spare you
has just made things worse.
We both deeply regret that.
That's why we wanted
to be completely honest
with you.
Terrific.
How did I get so lucky?
Darling, could you
just try and understand?
Understand?
I understand.
I don't think you do.
You think I've gone crazy.
Maybe I have.
Maybe I should
have gone crazy
a long time ago.
I won't speak ill
of your father.
I know how close you were.
He was a good man.
And we were in love. Once.
But not for a long time now.
It's nobody's fault, Scott.
Or maybe it was
both our faults.
I don't know.
I was unhappy,
desperately unhappy.
I didn't realize how unhappy
and how lonely I've been...
until I met Oliver.
I didn't plan
for this to happen.
It just did.
And I can't hide
behind some kind of
wall of denial again.
I've just wasted
too many years already
doing that.
[waves crashing]
[panting]
[exhaling]
[crickets chirping]
[Kelly]
Swimming at night.
You're a bit of a risk-taker,
aren't you?
Actually, I would have done
the same thing myself
if I were in your position.
I'm sorry.
I'll leave you alone.
No, it's okay.
Pretty weird, isn't it?
I mean,
they've known each other
three, four weeks...
and bang, they're
walking down the aisle.
What is it about
those cruise ships?
Do they put
something in the water?
[Kelly chuckling]
Love at first sight,
it's a wonderful thing.
Happens to me all the time.
In my dreams.
You?
No.
Guess I'm still hoping.
Well, maybe you should book
one of those love boats then.
"Meet a Soul Mate" special.
Know any good travel agents?
[both chuckling]
That's better.
What's that?
You're smiling...
for about
the first time since...
Since I got here.
It was worth the wait.
By the way,
I'm sorry about your dad.
Thank you.
I hear he was quite
a swimmer himself.
Yeah.
Silver medal, '64 Olympics.
Wow.
And he dies in
a swimming accident.
It's weird.
Yeah, tell me about it.
You know what's weirder?
Looks like me and you
are going to be
brother and sister.
Or step-somethings, right?
Yes. What about, um...
What about your mom?
She's dead, too.
I'm sorry. I didn't know.
It's okay.
Happened a long time ago,
when I was little.
She was a diabetic.
She had to inject herself
with insulin every day.
One day, she...
I don't know. She forgot,
or she couldn't find it
or couldn't get to it...
and went into shock.
I'm sorry.
The weirdest thing was...
my dad was in the house
at the time.
It's stupid. It's not
like he could have
got to her or anything.
I mean, he didn't know.
It just took a long time
for me to get that
out of my head.
So I know what
you're going through
with your mum.
How so?
My dad got a girlfriend, too,
less than a month
after my mum died.
They never ended up
getting married,
but she moved in and...
[inaudible]
Well, it seems that
we've got a few things
in common then, doesn't it?
I miss my mum, too.
Every day.
[waves crashing]It's ancient history, Scott.
I know all about it.
So he told you?
About the insulin mishap...
about being in the house
all the while
the poor woman was suffering.
It was a tragic accident,
Scott.
Oliver was deeply
hurt by it, too.
So he told you
that his girlfriend moved in
less than a month
after she died?
You surprise me, Scott.
For someone so young
and so artistically inclined
as you,
you've become
extremely judgmental.
Okay.
[woman]
Law offices.
[Scott]
May I speak with
Phil Shields, please?
Listen, um,
I need a favor.
No. No,
I need some information
on someone
and I don't want to
cause a stir acquiring it.
Yeah.
Yeah, the name is Vance.
Oliver Vance.
[birds chirping]
[Kelly]
What are you doing?
What are you looking for?
God, is this because
of what I said last night?
Yeah.
I wasn't trying to scare you.
I was trying to comfort you.
The two things
aren't linked.
I had a very good reason
to suspect my father.
You have no reason
to suspect your mother.
Who the hell said anything
about my mother?
What are you
accusing my mother of?
Nothing. I--I didn't
mean to accuse.
I don't know what to think.
I'm sorry.
I just don't want you
to go there.
For a very long time,
I hated my father.
To the point of wanting
to kill him.
I just don't want you
to start all that.
[waves crashing]
So this is what
you've been up to.
It's come a long way.
I had no idea.
No, I suppose not.
Hey.
I don't want to
get your hands dirty.
What a spectacular site.
I can't believe
it hasn't been developed.
How'd your dad manage
to resist the temptation?
Well, there wasn't one.
No, my dad loved
this island, every way.
He'd never think
of changing it.
Even so, I mean, it's gotta
be the only undeveloped spot
left down here.
Yeah, just the way
it's gonna stay.
Developers have already
ruined most of the earth.
I think they can
leave us what we have,
don't you, Dad?
Don't you start.
That's my daughter,
the crusader.
I think it's beautiful here.
I think your dad was right.
It should stay
just the way it is. Forever.
[car beeping]
Hey, Phil.
Hey, buddy.
So what've you got for me?
Not much to say, really.
Oliver Vance was born
in Great Britain,
evidently was partner
in several businesses there,
moves his money around
pretty savvy
in offshore accounts,
seems to have done okay
for himself.
[Scott]
Hey.
I'm impressed.
[Kelly chuckling]
I thought I might
find you here.
[exhaling]
I can't think
of a better place
to sort things out.
[chuckling]
This really
is a magical place.
Yeah.
You're doing this
for him, aren't you?
For your dad.
For both of us.
[exhaling]
Yeah, it was a dream of his
for us to build it together,
so we started on it,
but I got caught up
with school and my music.
I guess I kind
of bailed on him.
He started up again
by himself.
To surprise me.
So finishing it, I...
I suppose
I'm making up for it.
Hmm.
I think that's beautiful.
[clearing throat]
When I was young,
I had this severe
bout with scoliosis.
I was in....
I was in hospital.
I had to wear a brace.
Other kids were pretty cruel.
Anyway,
my dad tells me this story,
this--this legend.
It says,
whoever can swim
out to this island
can have any physical
problem of theirs cured.
Wow.
Spirit fish.
Bunyips.
[laughing]
Yeah,
that's what he called them.
I believed him.
So we started
training together,Ahem.
and, um, it took me
five years till I could
make it out here.
But by then, when I could,
my back and my legs
and my arms were so strong
that I beat the scoliosis.
So the legend was true.
The legend was true.
The magic was real.
The magic was real.
[laughing]
Wow.
Yeah, I mean,
he was my father,
but he was my best friend,
too.
[exhaling]
I know what you mean.
[woman]
We have been brought here
by the bonds of friendship
and affection
to give our blessing
to Maureen and Oliver.
Sometimes, life
strikes a blow at someone
who's very close to us
and if in the midst
of that difficult moment
a new chance
of happiness arises,
we should all rejoice
for the fortunate ones.
And so it has been
for our dear friends.
Oliver, do you accept
Maureen as your wife?
[Trust me
by Siobhan De Mare
playing]
Maureen,
with this ring I thee wed.
You know, there was
an old Egyptian myth
that said that
when a woman was angry
her lover would press
his lips against hers...
until the anger disappeared...
and transformed into passion.
I think it works
the other way around.
Let me kiss you
through the pain.
We're all alone
No prying eyes
They'll make you turn
and think I was
telling you lies
Just feel your pain
and you could fly
You know that
I got something
Something that is
big to believe in
It's all I want
all I need
It's all I want
All
All, all
Can you trust me now?
Can you trust me now?
Can you trust me now?
Can you trust me now?
[gasping]
Can you trust me now?
[Scott screaming]
[panting]
That was close.
[Kelly]
It makes you feel alive,
doesn't it?
Yes. You're wonderful.
[both moaning]
To the woman I love.Oh.
[glasses clinking]
And to family.
[Oliver]
And to Paris.
[Maureen]
To Paris.
[The Softest Breath
by Rani playing]
I'm giving my heart up
completely
I know you're the one
that can free me
Say it's true
Say you feel the way
The way I do
[woman whooping]
The slimmest thread
And the softest breath
A touch of summer
And the taste of rain
The rush of blood
Running through my veins
My secret lover
Love me again
I'm giving myself up
completely
I know you're the one
that can free me
Say it's true
Say you feel the way
The way I do
I'm giving my heart up
completely
[crickets chirping]
Mmm.
I feel so close to you.
You're so free and open.
You take risks.
I think
I'm falling in love with you.
Shall we get out of here?
[One by Rani playing]
See you at the car, okay?
Okay.
Okay.
[The moment is right
by Rani playing]
Sorry, I just
want to get through.
Excuse me.
[slapping]
I think I'm ready,
I'm gonna share my love
The DJ is pumping
and he's taking me higher
I want to stay until
there's no one in line
Give me just
a little bit more
A little bit more
Give me just a little bit
A little bit more
[screaming]
[people chattering]
What the hell
was that back there?
Some guys just think
they can take
whatever they want.
Forget about it.
Okay.
[car engine revving]
[music playing]
[moaning]
[thunder rumbling]
[grunting]
[continues moaning]
Are you crazy?
Yes.
[whimpering]
[gasps]
Kelly? Kelly?
Honey, what's wrong?
What's wrong?
Your stomach?
[people chattering]
I can't believe it.
High blood pressure
at your age.
That's concerning.
You heard what
the doctor said.
"Overstimulated."
Wouldn't mind
a little overstimulation
right now.
You scared me.
I'm glad you care.
You should get your mum
to get her blood pressure
checked.
[Scott]
Why?
They were her pills.
What do you mean,
her pills?
About two weeks ago,
we were talking
about being insomniacs...
discussing
sleeping-pill formulas
and whatnot,
and she told me
she had this great
herbal remedy
in her bedside table.
Scott, hold on. Scott!
What are you doing?
This looks like
a prescription.
It is. Kind of.
From a herbalist.
Scott, what's going on?
My father had
high blood pressure.
Yes, so what?
[pharmacist]
We take great pride
in the care of our customers.
I'm sure you do.
There's no sign
of tampering at all?
Tampering?
No, what's this all about?
No other capsule
was tampered with.
So what?
It would only take one.
My father's routine
never varied.
Once the doctor's
capsule was in place,
it was only a matter of time.
What are you saying?
Don't you think
you're jumping
to conclusions a bit?
There is no reason
to believe
that this had anything
to do with your mother.
Anyway, you said yourself
your father
had lots of enemies.
This doesn't prove anything
about the way he died.
You're right.
There's only one way
to prove that.
You want what?
I want you to dig up
my father's grave
and run a toxicology test
on his body.
He's joking, isn't he?
What the hell's up?
Maybe nothing.
If your dad
was under the influence
of alcohol or drugs,
it doesn't change anything.
He wasn't,
not to his knowledge.
I'll bet my life on it.
You suspect foul play?
Do you have any idea
how hard it is
to get an exhumation order?
What's your mother
say about all this?
Oh, no. No.
Oh, no, don't tell me you--
It has to be done
before she gets back.
I don't want her to know.
Like hell. No way, no how.
No judge in the country
is gonna--
I wasn't actually
thinking of asking a judge.
I could be disbarred.
[Scott grunting]
Next time you suggest
a double date so unique
I'll never forget it...
remind me of this,
okay, Phil?
[Phil]
Did I lie?
That's it.
I can handle it
from here.
Why don't you
take a little walk?
There's a whole load
of photos here.
Yeah, my mother has a thing
for taking pictures.
She went to London.
Yeah. Yeah,
about six months ago
for a friend's wedding
or something.
Oh, my God.
Come and look at this.
That's my dad's
favorite hotel in Brighton.
He goes there all the time.
She has been
having an affair.
She's been having
an affair for months.
She fucking lied.
You don't know that.
My mother's been
fucking your old man
behind my dad's back.
That's why
they wanted to kill him.
I think you're overreacting.
Overreacting?
What did you say
you wanted to do
when you told me
how much you hated
your father, huh?
What did you say
you wanted to do
when you told me
that you suspected
that your father
killed your mother, huh?
Well, maybe he fucking did!
Maybe your mother
and my father
got together
to kill your father!
And maybe it's not
the first time he's done it.
But if that's
the fucking case, Scott,
what do you think
that means, eh?
What do you think
that fucking means?
I'm sorry.
[crickets chirping]
[playing piano]
You remember when I told you
how great my dad was?
Yeah.
He wasn't.
He wasn't. Not always.
Up until I was about
five years old,
six years old...
I barely knew the man.
I hardly ever saw him.
He was always off
gallivanting around the world,
hard-charging, making money,
making deals.
And he drank a lot.
So even when he was here,
it wasn't like he was here.
So, what made him change?
Well, he was, um...
He was in a pretty severe
accident.
He was in South Africa
on business,
driving home after a party
with one of the company's
young secretaries.
And he lost control of the car
and crashed into a river.
He was drunk.
There was a storm that night,
and the road was dark
because there was no power,
so there were no lights on.
But, yeah, he was...
He'd been drinking.
Well, he always swore
he wasn't drunk.
But maybe enough
to impair his...
reactions,
to dull his judgment.
He got out,
but she was trapped.
And he kept on
diving in the water.
He kept on
trying to find her,
trying to save her,
but the water
was too dark, too deep.
The current was too strong.
It messed him up.
He went into a drinking binge
that lasted months
and finally
he landed in hospital.
But after he sobered up,
he never took another drink.
Good for him.
Good for me.
Too bad for the secretary.
Yeah. I suppose so.
I know that, um,
her death hurt him
every day of his life.
He tried to find the family.
He tried to...
To make it up to them,
get them money and...
But they'd moved away.
Was he having
an affair with her?
With the secretary?Yeah.
No.
No, no, no.
My dad lost his mother
when he was very young
and he barely knew his father,
so his family
was the most important thing
to Patrick Doherty.
He would never,
ever hurt his family
or jeopardize someone else's
for the sake of an affair.
It's... It's...
[thunder rumbling]
[woman screaming]
[screaming]
Patrick! Please! Please help!
[woman continues to scream]
Help! Help!
Help! Please!
Help! Help! Help!
[thunder rumbling]
[gasping]
What? What? You okay?
What's wrong?
You... You're just
having a bad dream.
You're safe.
[birds chirping]
There.
[car door closing]
Terrific. Goddamn terrific.
[sighing]
No, I can't
handle them right now.
It's okay. I'll go.
You okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm fine.
Oh, we had
such a wonderful time.
Where is my darling boy?
He's not home at the moment.
We weren't sure
exactly what time
you were gonna get in, so...
Oh, that's all right.
We should have called
but we've been acting
like a couple of crazy kids.
[smacking]
Why don't we all
have dinner tonight?
We can tell you
all about it.
Hey, missed you.
Give us a kiss.
Daddy's home.
[waves lapping]
[Kelly]Hi.
I'm not intruding, am I?
No. No.
No, I'm happy you're here.
What's that?
You inspired it.
"I love you so much...
"It's beyond sense
or reason...
"I love you so much...
"It transcends
every season...
I love you so much."
[sniffling]
[chair creaking]
[Everything I never said
by Malcolm McCluskey
playing]
[crying]
[shushing]
My love rushes
over you
And I can't feel
the ground below
The world
is so distant now
Now that I
love you so
I need to feel
Your fingertips
Your taste is of
my love
This is where
I fear to drown
You know everything
Everything I never
said
I've never said
Everything I never
said
I've never said
I love you.
I'm gonna love you forever.
[Maureen]
Montmartre, the Louvre,
the stores on the Left Bank.
[woman giggling]Oh, the food. And the wine!
You're talking like
you'd never been there.
Well,
it was a long time ago.
I was too young.
Couldn't appreciate it.Oh, that's not true.
Everybody's young in Paris,
especially if you're in love.
[Maureen]
I was going to give up
these dreadful things
while we were away,
but Paris?
Who can give up
smoking in Paris?
[waiter]
Sir?
[people chattering]
That's fine. Thank you.Thank you, sir.
[cell phone ringing]Excuse me.
[Scott]Yeah.
I'll take that, thank you.
Are you sure
you won't have a glass?
Yeah, sure. Why not?
Okay.
Well, cheers, then.Cheers.
[goblets clinking]Cheers. Cheers.
Cheers.
To the happy couple.
[people chattering]
Oh.
Make up for lost time, hmm?
Scott, you're not used to--
[Scott]
I'm not used to
a lot of things.
Maybe it's time
I got used to them.
I think what your mother's
trying to say is that
the idea is to savor it,
sip by sip.
Well, listen, old chap,
just because you're
shacking up with my mom
doesn't make you my dad.
Okay?
Scott, baby,
I think maybe you should--
You think I should
buy my own drinks?
Oh, dear.It's okay. It's all right.
I'll deal with it.
What exactly is
he upset about?
Do you want me
to go after him?Mmm-mmm.
Are you sure?
Scott, wait!
The toxicology report
came back positive.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
He hates me, doesn't he?
My own son,
my only child, hates me.
He's...
He's very confused
at the moment, Maureen.
He's in pain.
I've tried to explain.
I know, and he knows.
I think he's
trying to understand.
Is he?
Is he really?
Yes, he is.
[sighing]
But he's angry.
He's so angry.
I've never seen
him like this.
[Kelly]I know.
But this is
a bizarre situation.
I think he just needs time.
He means everything to me.
I'd give up my life for him.
Does that mean I have to
give up my last chance
at happiness, too?
He needs you, Kelly.
You're good for him.
[Maureen]
I don't know.
Maybe we made a mistake.
What, by getting married?
I think you're stuck with me.
No, I mean by not telling
the kids the whole truth
about us.
Maybe we shouldn't have
pretended to meet
on that stupid cruise.
I don't think
telling the truth would have
made things any easier.
Your mum thinks you hate her.
[Kelly]
Maybe it wasn't
all her fault.
[sighing]
Murder? Infidelity?
What are you saying?
That she didn't know
what she was doing?
We don't know that.
I do.
You don't.
There's something
I have to tell you.
What?
What is it?
I'm scared.
About what? The truth?
That, too.
Mostly, I'm scared
of losing you.
What are you talking about?
I lied.
About what?
About the way my mother died.
She didn't die of
a diabetic shock?
How did she die?
She wasn't killed, was she?
Kelly?
Was she killed?
Sort of.
[Scott]
By who?
Who?
Who? Who killed her?
Kelly, I need to know.
Was it your father?
Your father?
Promise me you won't leave me.
Promise me
you won't leave me.
I need to know.
Kelly,
who killed your mother?
Please say that
you won't leave me.
Please say
you won't leave me.
Kelly,
who killed your mother?
I love you.
Who?Your father did.
She was the one in the car.
She was the secretary.
Scott.
Scott!
Scott.
When my father told me
he'd met a woman,
I had no idea who she was.
And then,
later, when I found out,
I couldn't believe it.
I was completely
in a state of shock.
Your father knew.
Scott, I spent my whole life
hating your father
because he took
my mother away from me.
He caused me all that grief
and pain and anger.
He knew the whole time.
But then I met you,
and you told me about Patrick
and I started to realize
maybe I was wrong.
It's been a setup
all from the beginning.
I was wrong.
It was an accident.
Of course, the question is
whether my mother
was in on it
from the beginning, too.
It was an accident.
Accidents can happen, right?
It's like me and you.
We're like an accident.
How we met,
it's like destiny, fate.
I hated your father
so much for so long
and now I'm so in love
with his son.
And whether
you're in on it, too.
Are you, Kelly?
What?
Are you in on it, too?
Scott, I'm sitting here
confessing to you.
Are you part of the setup,
too?
I'm baring my soul.
I'm risking
the most important thing
I've ever had
in my whole life,
and that is you.
Tell me the truth.
God damn it, I want to know.
Are you part of the setup,
too?
[glass shattering]
[groaning]
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry, Scott.
I'm so sorry.
Oh, my God.
What have I done?
What have I done?
Please come here.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Scott.
I know you don't trust me.
I know you don't trust me,
but I'll explain everything.
I promise.
I promise.
Just give me time.
Just give me time,
Scott, please.
Please.
Please trust me.
I love you.
I love you so much.
Please.
Please. Please trust me.
[Trust me
by Siobhan De Mare playing]
It's all that I want
All I need
It's all I want
[water running]
[groaning]
[seagulls cawing]
[Oliver]
Yeah. Yeah, I...
But I really want this
to be wrapped up soon.
Yeah.
No, that isn't soon enough.
You told me
you had someone that...
Yeah, I appreciate that
but we really need
someone to come out
and look at the island
as soon as possible.
Yeah, well,
because my wife and I are
planning to do some
extensive traveling
and we're just
not gonna be around.
Right, so...
Yeah, we need to set up
the sale and development
deal as soon as we can.
Yeah, certainly no later than
the beginning of next week.
Okay?
All right, call me back.
Thanks. Bye-bye.
Morning.Where's my mother?
I'm not actually sure.
I think she went into town
to do some shopping.
Is there anything I can do?
Yeah.
You can get
the fuck out of that chair
and shove that cigar
up your ass on the way
out of this room.
My, my, we are
in a temper today.
[people chattering]
You're selling the island.
Hey.You and that conniving
son of a bitch you married
think you can sell the island
from underneath me?
Scott, please,
you're making a scene.
Just 'cause you now
have the estateScott. Lower your voice.
...you think you can do
whatever you fucking want?Do not talk to me like that.
What?
How do you want me to talk
to you then, mother dear?
What is this crazy talk
about the island, hmm?
I'm not selling.
Stop lying.
I heard your darling hubby
on the phone this morning.
Oh, honey,
you're jumping to conclusions.
We're just having the island
assessed, that's all.
Oh, is that what you call it?
Well,
I'm gonna say this once.
That island is not for sale.
It will never be for sale,
and I will not...
I will not have it
fucked with.
Do you understand me?
What the hell has
gotten into you recently?
I know about the affair.
I saw the picture of
you both in London.
How dare you?
How could you,
behind my father's back?
Oh, my God.
No wonder you've been acting
strangely since we came back.
Scott, I was wrong.
I admit it.
Listen, I know everything.What?
I know about your little plan
to murder my father.
Was it you,
or was it your lover
that's got the brains
as well as the balls?
Are you...
Me--me murder your father?
I had
a toxicology report done.
It turns out that
it's positive for the shit
that helps you sleep at night.
Isn't that interesting?
Wouldn't the cops
like to know about that?
Scott, I don't know
what you're talking about.
You'll get yours.
You'll see.
[people chattering]
[powerboat roaring]
[playing piano]
Hey, I wondered
where you were.
We have to talk.
Yeah, I know.
I'm sorry.
It's been a bit difficult
these last few days
getting any time
to ourselves.
Come on.
Come and sit down
just the two of us. Come on.
Sure I can't
get you anything?
I miss being with you.
This has to stop.
What has to stop?
I can't go through
with this anymore.
Well, that's a pity.
I was just about to tell you
what a terrific job
I thought you were doing.
Your mother drowned
because of this guy's father.
The man just walked away.
You seem to have
forgotten that.
I haven't forgotten anything.
I just want us to stop.
We've done enough.
Why can't we just leave things
the way they are?
Because we're too close...
too close to everything
that we talked about
and we dreamed about.
Can't stop now.
I don't understand.
I thought it was
what you wanted.
I don't want revenge anymore.
Oh, I see.
You went too far, didn't you?
You played your part too well.
You've gone
and fallen in love.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean it.
Oh, now I'm sure you didn't.
You have
absolutely no idea
how much I love you,
have you?
None.
It wasn't an accident,
was it?
You killed Patrick.
Did I?
Well, I did
all of this for you.
I'd still do anything for you,
anything at all.
Okay.
Then make it stop.
We'll just leave
everything the way it is.
Okay?
Okay.
One condition.
What's that?
Dance with me.
What?
I want to feel you
one last time.
Dance with me.
Come on.
It's just like old times.
[door creaking]
[gas hissing]
[engine cutting out]
Ah, terrific.
Goddamn terrific.
[dashboard bell ringing]
[seagulls cawing]
I really don't see
why we had to come out here.
Uh, because we have a lot
of things to discuss,
and there's more
privacy out here.
Anyway, it's romantic.
I was kind of hoping
I might get lucky.
[door closing]
Ah, he's really doing
a great job in here, isn't he?
Oh, damn.
I've left the champagne
chilling on the boat.
[Oliver]
I thought you were giving up.
I was.
I see.
Come on. Give me. Now.
And the lighter.
You are so bad.
See you in a minute.
[door creaking open]
[cell phone ringing]
Baby, where are you?
I've been waiting for ages.
Sorry to disappoint you,
sweetheart,
but it's me,
and I need to talk to you.
What do you mean?
What about?
Well, I'll tell you
when I see you,
but right now
we need to have a meeting.
It's important.
Um, I'm at the cafe
in the town.
Hold on.
Yesterday, when we spoke,
you said that--
Kelly, it doesn't matter
what I said.
Just get yourself
over here now.
I can't afford to wait long.
Wait, Oliv....
Oliver?
[thunder rumbling]
[Oliver]
There we are, nice and cold.
Voila.
[goblets clinking] Salud.
My son thinks
we're murderers.
He thinks what?
I think you heard me.
My, my, he does have
an active imagination.
Seems as though it may be
a little more than
just imagination.
Oh, in what way?
[Maureen]
Somehow he's managed to have
Patrick's body exhumed
and a toxicology
test performed.
You're kidding.
That's extraordinary.
What's really extraordinary
is that the results
came back positive.
He claims that traces of
the herbal supplement
I use sometimes
to help me sleep
were found in
Patrick's system.
The doctor told me
that someone who's, uh,
you know,
got high blood pressure
could get cramps from it.
Right.
But he thinks that we....
You, Oliver, you...
You and I
conspired to kill Patrick
in some kind of a crazy plot
to gain control of the estate.
[Oliver laughing]
It's so ridiculous
I don't know what to say.
It's absurd.
God, no wonder you've been
feeling so anxious.
I have to ask you something.
Anything you like,
but just hold that thought
for a second.
I need to go to the bathroom,
all right?Hmm.
Go on. Have one.
There you are.
Help you get relaxed.
Last one.
Oh, what the hell.
[gas hissing]
No!
[police siren wailing]
Good evening, ma'am.
License and registration,
please.
[cell phone ringing]
Yeah?
[woman on radio]
All units. All units.
Harbor patrol.
Explosion reported
at Doherty estate.
Possible two victims.
[people chattering]
[cardiograph beeping]
[people chattering]
[Kelly]
You son of a bitch,
you lied to me.
You lied to me about
how my mother died.
You said it was Patrick.
You said Patrick
just walked away.
You lied to me.
You said you were gonna stop.
But you didn't stop, did you?
You went ahead
and you killed Maureen.
What else did you
lie to me about?
What else did you
lie to me about?
[Kelly panting]
You said you cared about me.
You said you were
gonna look after me.
But you were so jealous.
I hated Scott.
I hated him so much.
I hated him for everything
he had that I didn't have.
A family, a loving childhood.
I could have killed him
anytime in these
past three weeks.
Like that!
Do you know
what we were doing
at the city hall
when you were
getting married to Maureen?
Do you know, huh?
I could have killed him,
but I didn't.
I didn't because you told me
to bide my time.
[cardiograph beeping
more rapidly]
And I did.
[Oliver choking]
And now we're
not just fucking.
[Oliver coughing]
Now we love each other.
[Oliver gasping]
[Oliver coughing]
I'm looking for
Maureen Doherty.
I'm Scott Doherty.
She was brought in here.
Mr. Doherty, I'm very sorry.
We lost her.
It's funny how
things turn out, isn't it?
[Oliver choking]
[cardiograph beeping rapidly]
No! Don't die on me,
you son of a bitch!
[Scott]
I--I.... I need to know.
Room 14. Code blue. Room 14.
[woman]
Code blue. Room 14.
Hey!
What the hell are you doing?
I.... I...
Security!
[guard]Hey, you!Stop!
[guard]
Down the east corridor!
Come on!
[people chattering]
[police siren wailing]
Get out of the car.
Put your hands on your head.
[policeman]
And turn around.
Down on your knees.
[handcuffs rattling]
So,
you just walked in,
and you found the respirators
hanging out of his mouth.
Is that it?That's what I said.
Six times now.
What the hell's going on?
You guys know damn well
he's got a right to--Slow down, Counselor.
His choice all the way.
It's okay, Phil.
I didn't do anything.
Charge Mr. Doherty
or release him.
Why don't we give you
a few minutes
with your client, huh?
Did you say anything?No.
Did you bring Kelly?
Sure, she's right outside.
Phil, um, what would be
the line of inheritance
from my father's estate
if something was
to happen to me now that
my mother's gone?
Say I was to have
a fatal accident or
I was convicted of murder?
Vance?
Or my mother's.
Well, it's really
the same either way.
With you out of the equation
the inheritance passes
from your mother to Vance
to his surviving heir.
Kelly.
[door opening]Oh, shit.
Well, Counselor,
so we've been
talking to people.
What people?
Well, the local pharmacist,
people down at the market.
You installed
a new gas heater at the cabin
you were building, right?
Yeah, so?
And you rigged it
to kill them because
you had some crazy idea
that they murdered
your old man.
But it didn't work,
and you had to finish Vance
off at the hospital.
Scott Doherty,
you are under arrest
for the murder
of Maureen Doherty
and Oliver Vance.
That's outrageous!
You have no proof.
[Phil]
All right.
Scott, it'll be okay.
I'll call you.[Scott]
This is ridiculous.
I'll call the DA's office.
Talk to Kelly Vance.
It'll be okay.
You have the right
to remain silent.No!
You have the right--Stop! He hasn't
done anything wrong!
[Kelly]
Please stop.
It's not his fault.
There's something
I have to tell you.
I arrived at the hospital,
and I hear the code blue.
At that point,
I see Scott enter.
I'm gonna go in, but I panic.
Okay, so why did you
run away when the nurse
approached you?
Because he was scared, and--
I'm sorry,
the question is for Scott.
Do you mind?
Scott.
I know it looked like
I was holding a smoking gun.
So I freaked out.
I ran.
[sighing]
Now, listen,
why haven't you come forward
with this information
until now?
Because I was in
a state of shock.
I mean, I'd just found out
that Oliver had done--
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
So what are you saying here?
That this is all the doing
of your father, Oliver Vance?
He's not my father.
[police siren wailing]
I was adopted.
When my mum died,
my dad went mad.
Just lost the will to live.
Couldn't handle it.
So, um,
when I was about five
I walked into a room
and found him hanging
from a beam.
They put me in a foster home.
I rebelled.
By the time I was about 14
I was basically living
on the streets of
Johannesburg,
which is when I met Oliver.
He'd been in
the British secret service,
MI6, black ops.
Uh, he took me in,
looked after me,
eventually took me
back to England.
He was obsessed with the idea
that Patrick Doherty
was responsible for
the death of my mother.
I was happy somebody
was looking after me
for the first time,
but he just kept
harping on about revenge.
So then you decided,
"Hey, why not?
I'm gonna go along
with this guy"?
Well, I didn't know
what he meant by revenge.
I mean,
when he told me about Maureen,
I was intrigued
to go to Florida
and meet this family.
Uh, I mean, I'd heard so much
about Scott and Maureen.
Yes, Maureen.
So what about
Maureen Doherty's murder?
I...
I... All I know is
what Oliver told me,
which is...
He said it was an accident.
Patrick's death
was an accident.
And--and I believed him.
I had no reason
to suspect anything until...
Until Scott started
digging around and--and
we found the evidence.
Wait a minute.
What evidence?
The toxicology report
we spoke of earlier.
Go on.
Yesterday,
I confronted Oliver
and he admitted to
killing Patrick Doherty.
Your mother had
nothing to do with it.
[detective]
All right, you know what?
I have enough here.
Thank you very much.
You guys can go outside now.
Uh, Mr. Shields,
I need you to stay, please.
[Kelly]
Scott. Scott!
What's the truth, Kelly?
Was that the truth?
Is what Oliver said the truth?
Did he say
he killed my father?Yeah.
So my mother's innocent.
Yes.
How can I believe it?
Why didn't you warn me?
Why didn't you go
to the police?
I couldn't.
I was terrified.
He was a very dangerous man.
He watched everything I did.
I had no idea
what he would do to you
if I went to the police.
My mother is innocent.
Why did you pretend
not to know
about their affair?
I didn't know.
I didn't.
When we found those photos,
I was as surprised
as you were.
What about the bullshit
with the insulin story?
I know.
That's what I told
you at the beginning,
because I owe Oliver.
He saved my life.
I just said that because
I was trying to warn you,
and I was afraid for you.
I didn't want to risk
losing you.
I've fallen in love with you.
[people chattering]
That was ugly.
For now,
I think you're in the clear.
Besides,
they have no real evidence
against either of you,
so they figure
with your influence
you'd just get
the best legal team
money can buy
to torpedo any charges
they might bring.
Dodged a bullet.
Both of you.
[Scott]
So where were you?
[Kelly]
I went into town.
I even got
a bloody traffic ticket.
Phew.
A traffic ticket?
That's a pretty smart alibi
during the explosion,
to get a traffic ticket.
Alibi?
Why would I need an alibi?
I don't know.
Why don't you tell me?
Scott, I don't understand.
What really happened
in that hospital room
before I got there?
You were there before me.
You were there
the whole time, weren't you?
God, are you accusing me?
I never touched him.
Do you realize that
he would have killed you?
How could I let
that happen, huh?
I love you.
You know that.
More than anything
I ever loved.
Just tell me the truth,
Kelly.
You don't trust me, do you?
[sighing]
After all I've done for you,
you don't trust me.
After all you've done?
What have you done, Kelly?
My family is dead.
I just wanna know.
Has this all been a setup?
Well, there's no love
without trust.
I love you,
and I will always,
always love you.
Jesus!
Kelly!
[car swerving]
[Kelly]
Scott!
Jesus! Shit!
[tires screeching]
[Kelly screaming]
[screaming]
[groaning]
Let's go.
Come on.
Come on.
[groaning]
Okay, it's gonna be okay.
Scott.
Where are you hurt?
Are you hurt here?
I'm so sorry. So sorry.
[sobbing]
I...
I.... I had to let him die.
I had to let him die.
He was so dangerous.
He was...
He was so jealous.
I told you the truth.
I told you truth
about my mother.
I told you the truth about....
To the police.
It's the truth.
I love you so much.
I love you so much.
I want us to be together.
Kelly, I forgive you.

[Scott]
But I was too busy,
and I didn't have the time.
And now it's too late.
I'm sorry.
[Scott]
I thought you gave those up.
I did.
[lighter clicking]
[exhaling]
What's wrong, Scott?Mom, it just
doesn't make sense to me.
He was a world-class
swimmer.
He made that swim
to the island
a thousand times.
Something isn't right.
We have a lot to cover.
As you may all know,
Patrick's estate
was extensive
and diversified.
I thought I just might
mention at the outset
that everything is in order.
There are no surprises
to be had.
As is customary,
the bulk of the estate
will go to Patrick's wife,
Maureen.
Two-thirds to be exact.
The remaining third
will go to his son, Scott.
Shall we begin?

Welcome back.
You look amazing.
You look beautiful.
You look beautiful!
Is this it?
Uh, well, no, not exactly.
[Maureen]
Uh...
This is my son, Scott.
Oliver Vance.
Very happy to meet you.
Maureen's told me
a lot about you.
I've invited Oliver
to stay with us
for a few days.
You got enough room
back there, sweetheart?Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine.
I want you to get
to know each other.
So, your mother tells me
you're a composer.
Yeah.Hmm.
Must be a great combination.
Handsome young guy,
a brooding composer.
Bet you have to
beat the girls off
with a stick, right?
[laughing]
Oh, he's terrible.
You should have
seen him on the ship.
There were passengers
who didn't know whether
to laugh themselves silly
or throttle him.
Not a dilemma
your mother shared.
She started laughing at me
the moment she saw me.
No, with you. With you.
[Maureen laughing]
[crickets chirping]
[Maureen moaning]
[Maureen moaning]
[Oliver panting]
[motorboat whirring]
Ahem.
It's like we're in a race
and we're coming down
the home stretch.
How about I let you
win this one?
If I win,
can I take you out to dinner?
I'm sorry.
I have plans tonight.
I see.
I'll see you there, then.What?
[laughing]
I win.Okay.
So you have plans tonight?
I do. I do.
Kelly Vance. Hi.
[music playing]
This is nice, isn't it?
You know, Scott used
to sit in sometimes
with the house band here.
Really?Yeah.
He was only eight years old
at the time.
A little child prodigy.
[Max]
Good evening.Mmm.
Condolences, Mrs. Doherty.
Nice to see you.
Oh. Thank you so much.
Thank you.Yes.
Mr. Doherty.Thank you.
[Oliver]
Are we going to tell them?
Your father tells me
that you're living
in New York.
[Kelly]
Yeah, I have been.
In fact, one of the reasons
we haven't seen each other
for quite a long time
is because we both
travel so much.
True.
In fact,
when I got this message,
I was quite surprised.
This message telling me
to get myself to Florida
as soon as possible
because he had
some important
announcement to make.
Did someone mention dancing?
Hmm?
Are you gonna put us
in the picture, Dad,
or are we just gonna have
to sit here and, um, wait?
Are you gonna teach me
some of those
new little steps
you taught me on board?Darling, darling,
I really don't... Really,
I don't think we can
put this off any longer.Come on. Come on.
Put what off?
Come on.
Put what off?
I think we should tell them.
[Maureen]
I, um... We...
We, Oliver and I,
that is...
we asked you both
here tonight...
Uh...to--to tell you that,
um...
Listen. Listen,
I think what Maureen
is trying to say
is that, um,
we're in love and, uh...
[Maureen sighing]
Madly, deeply, truly!
Now I know this is gonna
come as a bit of a...
A bit of a surprise, but--You could say that.
We're getting married.
[Kelly]
Congratulations.
Thank you.
It's a shock.
We-we do understand.
But you know,
with Oliver
living in London,
well, his whole life
would have to be rearranged,
and, well, he needs...
He needs a commitment.
It's not fair
to keep him dangling.
Not exactly dangling.
Well, we thought
that if we put it off
and if he goes
back to London...
Things...
Things happen sometimes
things we have
no control over.
[people chattering]
We just don't want to risk
losing each other, that's all.
Scott, please, wait.
I'll go.
Are you out of your mind?
I'm sorry, Scott.
I wanted to put off
telling you,
but Oliver's right.
Trying to keep
our relationship secret
to spare you
has just made things worse.
We both deeply regret that.
That's why we wanted
to be completely honest
with you.
Terrific.
How did I get so lucky?
Darling, could you
just try and understand?
Understand?
I understand.
I don't think you do.
You think I've gone crazy.
Maybe I have.
Maybe I should
have gone crazy
a long time ago.
I won't speak ill
of your father.
I know how close you were.
He was a good man.
And we were in love. Once.
But not for a long time now.
It's nobody's fault, Scott.
Or maybe it was
both our faults.
I don't know.
I was unhappy,
desperately unhappy.
I didn't realize how unhappy
and how lonely I've been...
until I met Oliver.
I didn't plan
for this to happen.
It just did.
And I can't hide
behind some kind of
wall of denial again.
I've just wasted
too many years already
doing that.
[waves crashing]
[panting]
[exhaling]
[crickets chirping]
[Kelly]
Swimming at night.
You're a bit of a risk-taker,
aren't you?
Actually, I would have done
the same thing myself
if I were in your position.
I'm sorry.
I'll leave you alone.
No, it's okay.
Pretty weird, isn't it?
I mean,
they've known each other
three, four weeks...
and bang, they're
walking down the aisle.
What is it about
those cruise ships?
Do they put
something in the water?
[Kelly chuckling]
Love at first sight,
it's a wonderful thing.
Happens to me all the time.
In my dreams.
You?
No.
Guess I'm still hoping.
Well, maybe you should book
one of those love boats then.
"Meet a Soul Mate" special.
Know any good travel agents?
[both chuckling]
That's better.
What's that?
You're smiling...
for about
the first time since...
Since I got here.
It was worth the wait.
By the way,
I'm sorry about your dad.
Thank you.
I hear he was quite
a swimmer himself.
Yeah.
Silver medal, '64 Olympics.
Wow.
And he dies in
a swimming accident.
It's weird.
Yeah, tell me about it.
You know what's weirder?
Looks like me and you
are going to be
brother and sister.
Or step-somethings, right?
Yes. What about, um...
What about your mom?
She's dead, too.
I'm sorry. I didn't know.
It's okay.
Happened a long time ago,
when I was little.
She was a diabetic.
She had to inject herself
with insulin every day.
One day, she...
I don't know. She forgot,
or she couldn't find it
or couldn't get to it...
and went into shock.
I'm sorry.
The weirdest thing was...
my dad was in the house
at the time.
It's stupid. It's not
like he could have
got to her or anything.
I mean, he didn't know.
It just took a long time
for me to get that
out of my head.
So I know what
you're going through
with your mum.
How so?
My dad got a girlfriend, too,
less than a month
after my mum died.
They never ended up
getting married,
but she moved in and...
[inaudible]
Well, it seems that
we've got a few things
in common then, doesn't it?
I miss my mum, too.
Every day.
[waves crashing]It's ancient history, Scott.
I know all about it.
So he told you?
About the insulin mishap...
about being in the house
all the while
the poor woman was suffering.
It was a tragic accident,
Scott.
Oliver was deeply
hurt by it, too.
So he told you
that his girlfriend moved in
less than a month
after she died?
You surprise me, Scott.
For someone so young
and so artistically inclined
as you,
you've become
extremely judgmental.
Okay.
[woman]
Law offices.
[Scott]
May I speak with
Phil Shields, please?
Listen, um,
I need a favor.
No. No,
I need some information
on someone
and I don't want to
cause a stir acquiring it.
Yeah.
Yeah, the name is Vance.
Oliver Vance.
[birds chirping]
[Kelly]
What are you doing?
What are you looking for?
God, is this because
of what I said last night?
Yeah.
I wasn't trying to scare you.
I was trying to comfort you.
The two things
aren't linked.
I had a very good reason
to suspect my father.
You have no reason
to suspect your mother.
Who the hell said anything
about my mother?
What are you
accusing my mother of?
Nothing. I--I didn't
mean to accuse.
I don't know what to think.
I'm sorry.
I just don't want you
to go there.
For a very long time,
I hated my father.
To the point of wanting
to kill him.
I just don't want you
to start all that.
[waves crashing]
So this is what
you've been up to.
It's come a long way.
I had no idea.
No, I suppose not.
Hey.
I don't want to
get your hands dirty.
What a spectacular site.
I can't believe
it hasn't been developed.
How'd your dad manage
to resist the temptation?
Well, there wasn't one.
No, my dad loved
this island, every way.
He'd never think
of changing it.
Even so, I mean, it's gotta
be the only undeveloped spot
left down here.
Yeah, just the way
it's gonna stay.
Developers have already
ruined most of the earth.
I think they can
leave us what we have,
don't you, Dad?
Don't you start.
That's my daughter,
the crusader.
I think it's beautiful here.
I think your dad was right.
It should stay
just the way it is. Forever.
[car beeping]
Hey, Phil.
Hey, buddy.
So what've you got for me?
Not much to say, really.
Oliver Vance was born
in Great Britain,
evidently was partner
in several businesses there,
moves his money around
pretty savvy
in offshore accounts,
seems to have done okay
for himself.
[Scott]
Hey.
I'm impressed.
[Kelly chuckling]
I thought I might
find you here.
[exhaling]
I can't think
of a better place
to sort things out.
[chuckling]
This really
is a magical place.
Yeah.
You're doing this
for him, aren't you?
For your dad.
For both of us.
[exhaling]
Yeah, it was a dream of his
for us to build it together,
so we started on it,
but I got caught up
with school and my music.
I guess I kind
of bailed on him.
He started up again
by himself.
To surprise me.
So finishing it, I...
I suppose
I'm making up for it.
Hmm.
I think that's beautiful.
[clearing throat]
When I was young,
I had this severe
bout with scoliosis.
I was in....
I was in hospital.
I had to wear a brace.
Other kids were pretty cruel.
Anyway,
my dad tells me this story,
this--this legend.
It says,
whoever can swim
out to this island
can have any physical
problem of theirs cured.
Wow.
Spirit fish.
Bunyips.
[laughing]
Yeah,
that's what he called them.
I believed him.
So we started
training together,Ahem.
and, um, it took me
five years till I could
make it out here.
But by then, when I could,
my back and my legs
and my arms were so strong
that I beat the scoliosis.
So the legend was true.
The legend was true.
The magic was real.
The magic was real.
[laughing]
Wow.
Yeah, I mean,
he was my father,
but he was my best friend,
too.
[exhaling]
I know what you mean.
[woman]
We have been brought here
by the bonds of friendship
and affection
to give our blessing
to Maureen and Oliver.
Sometimes, life
strikes a blow at someone
who's very close to us
and if in the midst
of that difficult moment
a new chance
of happiness arises,
we should all rejoice
for the fortunate ones.
And so it has been
for our dear friends.
Oliver, do you accept
Maureen as your wife?
[Trust me
by Siobhan De Mare
playing]
Maureen,
with this ring I thee wed.
You know, there was
an old Egyptian myth
that said that
when a woman was angry
her lover would press
his lips against hers...
until the anger disappeared...
and transformed into passion.
I think it works
the other way around.
Let me kiss you
through the pain.
We're all alone
No prying eyes
They'll make you turn
and think I was
telling you lies
Just feel your pain
and you could fly
You know that
I got something
Something that is
big to believe in
It's all I want
all I need
It's all I want
All
All, all
Can you trust me now?
Can you trust me now?
Can you trust me now?
Can you trust me now?
[gasping]
Can you trust me now?
[Scott screaming]
[panting]
That was close.
[Kelly]
It makes you feel alive,
doesn't it?
Yes. You're wonderful.
[both moaning]
To the woman I love.Oh.
[glasses clinking]
And to family.
[Oliver]
And to Paris.
[Maureen]
To Paris.
[The Softest Breath

I'm giving my heart up
completely
I know you're the one
that can free me
Say it's true
Say you feel the way
The way I do
[woman whooping]
The slimmest thread
And the softest breath
A touch of summer
And the taste of rain
The rush of blood
Running through my veins
My secret lover
Love me again
I'm giving myself up
completely
I know you're the one
that can free me
Say it's true
Say you feel the way
The way I do
I'm giving my heart up
completely
[crickets chirping]
Mmm.
I feel so close to you.
You're so free and open.
You take risks.
I think
I'm falling in love with you.
Shall we get out of here?
[One by Rani playing]
See you at the car, okay?
Okay.
Okay.
[The moment is right
by Rani playing]
Sorry, I just
want to get through.
Excuse me.
[slapping]
I think I'm ready,
I'm gonna share my love
The DJ is pumping
and he's taking me higher
I want to stay until
there's no one in line
Give me just
a little bit more
A little bit more
Give me just a little bit
A little bit more
[screaming]
[people chattering]
What the hell
was that back there?
Some guys just think
they can take
whatever they want.
Forget about it.
Okay.
[car engine revving]
[music playing]
[moaning]
[thunder rumbling]
[grunting]
[continues moaning]
Are you crazy?
Yes.
[whimpering]
[gasps]
Kelly? Kelly?
Honey, what's wrong?
What's wrong?
Your stomach?
[people chattering]
I can't believe it.
High blood pressure
at your age.
That's concerning.
You heard what
the doctor said.
"Overstimulated."
Wouldn't mind
a little overstimulation
right now.
You scared me.
I'm glad you care.
You should get your mum
to get her blood pressure
checked.
[Scott]
Why?
They were her pills.
What do you mean,
her pills?
About two weeks ago,
we were talking
about being insomniacs...
discussing
sleeping-pill formulas
and whatnot,
and she told me
she had this great
herbal remedy
in her bedside table.
Scott, hold on. Scott!
What are you doing?
This looks like
a prescription.
It is. Kind of.
From a herbalist.
Scott, what's going on?
My father had
high blood pressure.
Yes, so what?
[pharmacist]
We take great pride
in the care of our customers.
I'm sure you do.
There's no sign
of tampering at all?
Tampering?
No, what's this all about?
No other capsule
was tampered with.
So what?
It would only take one.
My father's routine
never varied.
Once the doctor's
capsule was in place,
it was only a matter of time.
What are you saying?
Don't you think
you're jumping
to conclusions a bit?
There is no reason
to believe
that this had anything
to do with your mother.
Anyway, you said yourself
your father
had lots of enemies.
This doesn't prove anything
about the way he died.
You're right.
There's only one way
to prove that.
You want what?
I want you to dig up
my father's grave
and run a toxicology test
on his body.
He's joking, isn't he?
What the hell's up?
Maybe nothing.
If your dad
was under the influence
of alcohol or drugs,
it doesn't change anything.
He wasn't,
not to his knowledge.
I'll bet my life on it.
You suspect foul play?
Do you have any idea
how hard it is
to get an exhumation order?
What's your mother
say about all this?
Oh, no. No.
Oh, no, don't tell me you--
It has to be done
before she gets back.
I don't want her to know.
Like hell. No way, no how.
No judge in the country
is gonna--
I wasn't actually
thinking of asking a judge.
I could be disbarred.
[Scott grunting]
Next time you suggest
a double date so unique
I'll never forget it...
remind me of this,
okay, Phil?
[Phil]
Did I lie?
That's it.
I can handle it
from here.
Why don't you
take a little walk?
There's a whole load
of photos here.
Yeah, my mother has a thing
for taking pictures.
She went to London.
Yeah. Yeah,
about six months ago
for a friend's wedding
or something.
Oh, my God.
Come and look at this.
That's my dad's
favorite hotel in Brighton.
He goes there all the time.
She has been
having an affair.
She's been having
an affair for months.
She fucking lied.
You don't know that.
My mother's been
fucking your old man
behind my dad's back.
That's why
they wanted to kill him.
I think you're overreacting.
Overreacting?
What did you say
you wanted to do
when you told me
how much you hated
your father, huh?
What did you say
you wanted to do
when you told me
that you suspected
that your father
killed your mother, huh?
Well, maybe he fucking did!
Maybe your mother
and my father
got together
to kill your father!
And maybe it's not
the first time he's done it.
But if that's
the fucking case, Scott,
what do you think
that means, eh?
What do you think
that fucking means?
I'm sorry.
[crickets chirping]
[playing piano]
You remember when I told you
how great my dad was?
Yeah.
He wasn't.
He wasn't. Not always.
Up until I was about
five years old,
six years old...
I barely knew the man.
I hardly ever saw him.
He was always off
gallivanting around the world,
hard-charging, making money,
making deals.
And he drank a lot.
So even when he was here,
it wasn't like he was here.
So, what made him change?
Well, he was, um...
He was in a pretty severe
accident.
He was in South Africa
on business,
driving home after a party
with one of the company's
young secretaries.
And he lost control of the car
and crashed into a river.
He was drunk.
There was a storm that night,
and the road was dark
because there was no power,
so there were no lights on.
But, yeah, he was...
He'd been drinking.
Well, he always swore
he wasn't drunk.
But maybe enough
to impair his...
reactions,
to dull his judgment.
He got out,
but she was trapped.
And he kept on
diving in the water.
He kept on
trying to find her,
trying to save her,
but the water
was too dark, too deep.
The current was too strong.
It messed him up.
He went into a drinking binge
that lasted months
and finally
he landed in hospital.
But after he sobered up,
he never took another drink.
Good for him.
Good for me.
Too bad for the secretary.
Yeah. I suppose so.
I know that, um,
her death hurt him
every day of his life.
He tried to find the family.
He tried to...
To make it up to them,
get them money and...
But they'd moved away.
Was he having
an affair with her?
With the secretary?Yeah.
No.
No, no, no.
My dad lost his mother
when he was very young
and he barely knew his father,
so his family
was the most important thing
to Patrick Doherty.
He would never,
ever hurt his family
or jeopardize someone else's
for the sake of an affair.
It's... It's...
[thunder rumbling]
[woman screaming]
[screaming]
Patrick! Please! Please help!
[woman continues to scream]
Help! Help!
Help! Please!
Help! Help! Help!
[thunder rumbling]
[gasping]
What? What? You okay?
What's wrong?
You... You're just
having a bad dream.
You're safe.
[birds chirping]
There.
[car door closing]
Terrific. Goddamn terrific.
[sighing]
No, I can't
handle them right now.
It's okay. I'll go.
You okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm fine.
Oh, we had
such a wonderful time.
Where is my darling boy?
He's not home at the moment.
We weren't sure
exactly what time
you were gonna get in, so...
Oh, that's all right.
We should have called
but we've been acting
like a couple of crazy kids.
[smacking]
Why don't we all
have dinner tonight?
We can tell you
all about it.
Hey, missed you.
Give us a kiss.
Daddy's home.
[waves lapping]
[Kelly]Hi.
I'm not intruding, am I?
No. No.
No, I'm happy you're here.
What's that?
You inspired it.
"I love you so much...
"It's beyond sense
or reason...
"I love you so much...
"It transcends
every season...
I love you so much."

I'm gonna love you forever.
[Maureen]
Montmartre, the Louvre,
the stores on the Left Bank.
[woman giggling]Oh, the food. And the wine!
You're talking like
you'd never been there.
Well,
it was a long time ago.
I was too young.
Couldn't appreciate it.Oh, that's not true.
Everybody's young in Paris,
especially if you're in love.
[Maureen]
I was going to give up
these dreadful things
while we were away,
but Paris?
Who can give up
smoking in Paris?
[waiter]
Sir?
[people chattering]
That's fine. Thank you.Thank you, sir.
[cell phone ringing]Excuse me.
[Scott]Yeah.
I'll take that, thank you.
Are you sure
you won't have a glass?
Yeah, sure. Why not?
Okay.
Well, cheers, then.Cheers.
[goblets clinking]Cheers. Cheers.
Cheers.
To the happy couple.
[people chattering]
Oh.
Make up for lost time, hmm?
Scott, you're not used to--
[Scott]
I'm not used to
a lot of things.
Maybe it's time
I got used to them.
I think what your mother's
trying to say is that
the idea is to savor it,
sip by sip.
Well, listen, old chap,
just because you're
shacking up with my mom
doesn't make you my dad.
Okay?
Scott, baby,
I think maybe you should--
You think I should
buy my own drinks?
Oh, dear.It's okay. It's all right.
I'll deal with it.
What exactly is
he upset about?
Do you want me
to go after him?Mmm-mmm.
Are you sure?
Scott, wait!
The toxicology report
came back positive.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
He hates me, doesn't he?
My own son,
my only child, hates me.
He's...
He's very confused
at the moment, Maureen.
He's in pain.
I've tried to explain.
I know, and he knows.
I think he's
trying to understand.
Is he?
Is he really?
Yes, he is.
[sighing]
But he's angry.
He's so angry.
I've never seen
him like this.
[Kelly]I know.
But this is
a bizarre situation.
I think he just needs time.
He means everything to me.
I'd give up my life for him.
Does that mean I have to
give up my last chance
at happiness, too?
He needs you, Kelly.
You're good for him.
[Maureen]
I don't know.
Maybe we made a mistake.
What, by getting married?
I think you're stuck with me.
No, I mean by not telling
the kids the whole truth
about us.
Maybe we shouldn't have
pretended to meet
on that stupid cruise.
I don't think
telling the truth would have
made things any easier.
Your mum thinks you hate her.
[Kelly]
Maybe it wasn't
all her fault.
[sighing]
Murder? Infidelity?
What are you saying?
That she didn't know
what she was doing?
We don't know that.
I do.
You don't.
There's something
I have to tell you.
What?
What is it?
I'm scared.
About what? The truth?
That, too.
Mostly, I'm scared
of losing you.
What are you talking about?
I lied.
About what?
About the way my mother died.
She didn't die of
a diabetic shock?
How did she die?
She wasn't killed, was she?
Kelly?
Was she killed?
Sort of.
[Scott]
By who?
Who?
Who? Who killed her?
Kelly, I need to know.
Was it your father?
Your father?
Promise me you won't leave me.
Promise me
you won't leave me.
I need to know.
Kelly,
who killed your mother?
Please say that
you won't leave me.
Please say
you won't leave me.
Kelly,
who killed your mother?
I love you.
Who?Your father did.
She was the one in the car.
She was the secretary.
Scott.
Scott!
Scott.
When my father told me
he'd met a woman,
I had no idea who she was.
And then,
later, when I found out,
I couldn't believe it.
I was completely
in a state of shock.
Your father knew.
Scott, I spent my whole life
hating your father
because he took
my mother away from me.
He caused me all that grief
and pain and anger.
He knew the whole time.
But then I met you,
and you told me about Patrick
and I started to realize
maybe I was wrong.
It's been a setup
all from the beginning.
I was wrong.
It was an accident.
Of course, the question is
whether my mother
was in on it
from the beginning, too.
It was an accident.
Accidents can happen, right?
It's like me and you.
We're like an accident.
How we met,
it's like destiny, fate.
I hated your father
so much for so long
and now I'm so in love
with his son.
And whether
you're in on it, too.
Are you, Kelly?
What?
Are you in on it, too?
Scott, I'm sitting here
confessing to you.
Are you part of the setup,
too?
I'm baring my soul.
I'm risking
the most important thing
I've ever had
in my whole life,
and that is you.
Tell me the truth.
God damn it, I want to know.
Are you part of the setup,
too?
[glass shattering]
[groaning]
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry, Scott.
I'm so sorry.
Oh, my God.
What have I done?
What have I done?
Please come here.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Scott.
I know you don't trust me.
I know you don't trust me,
but I'll explain everything.
I promise.
I promise.
Just give me time.
Just give me time,
Scott, please.
Please.
Please trust me.
I love you.
I love you so much.
Please.
Please. Please trust me.
[Trust me
by Siobhan De Mare playing]
It's all that I want
All I need
It's all I want
[water running]
[groaning]
[seagulls cawing]
[Oliver]
Yeah. Yeah, I...
But I really want this
to be wrapped up soon.
Yeah.
No, that isn't soon enough.
You told me
you had someone that...
Yeah, I appreciate that
but we really need
someone to come out
and look at the island
as soon as possible.
Yeah, well,
because my wife and I are
planning to do some
extensive traveling
and we're just
not gonna be around.
Right, so...
Yeah, we need to set up
the sale and development
deal as soon as we can.
Yeah, certainly no later than
the beginning of next week.
Okay?
All right, call me back.
Thanks. Bye-bye.
Morning.Where's my mother?
I'm not actually sure.
I think she went into town
to do some shopping.
Is there anything I can do?
Yeah.
You can get
the fuck out of that chair
and shove that cigar
up your ass on the way
out of this room.
My, my, we are
in a temper today.
[people chattering]
You're selling the island.
Hey.You and that conniving
son of a bitch you married
think you can sell the island
from underneath me?
Scott, please,
you're making a scene.
Just 'cause you now
have the estateScott. Lower your voice.
...you think you can do
whatever you fucking want?Do not talk to me like that.
What?
How do you want me to talk
to you then, mother dear?
What is this crazy talk
about the island, hmm?
I'm not selling.
Stop lying.
I heard your darling hubby
on the phone this morning.
Oh, honey,
you're jumping to conclusions.
We're just having the island
assessed, that's all.
Oh, is that what you call it?
Well,
I'm gonna say this once.
That island is not for sale.
It will never be for sale,
and I will not...
I will not have it
fucked with.
Do you understand me?
What the hell has
gotten into you recently?
I know about the affair.
I saw the picture of
you both in London.
How dare you?
How could you,
behind my father's back?
Oh, my God.
No wonder you've been acting
strangely since we came back.
Scott, I was wrong.
I admit it.
Listen, I know everything.What?
I know about your little plan
to murder my father.
Was it you,
or was it your lover
that's got the brains
as well as the balls?
Are you...
Me--me murder your father?
I had
a toxicology report done.
It turns out that
it's positive for the shit
that helps you sleep at night.
Isn't that interesting?
Wouldn't the cops
like to know about that?
Scott, I don't know
what you're talking about.
You'll get yours.
You'll see.
[people chattering]
[powerboat roaring]
[playing piano]
Hey, I wondered
where you were.
We have to talk.
Yeah, I know.
I'm sorry.
It's been a bit difficult
these last few days
getting any time
to ourselves.
Come on.
Come and sit down
just the two of us. Come on.
Sure I can't
get you anything?
I miss being with you.
This has to stop.
What has to stop?
I can't go through
with this anymore.
Well, that's a pity.
I was just about to tell you
what a terrific job
I thought you were doing.
Your mother drowned
because of this guy's father.
The man just walked away.
You seem to have
forgotten that.
I haven't forgotten anything.
I just want us to stop.
We've done enough.
Why can't we just leave things
the way they are?
Because we're too close...
too close to everything
that we talked about
and we dreamed about.
Can't stop now.
I don't understand.
I thought it was
what you wanted.
I don't want revenge anymore.
Oh, I see.
You went too far, didn't you?
You played your part too well.
You've gone
and fallen in love.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean it.
Oh, now I'm sure you didn't.
You have
absolutely no idea
how much I love you,
have you?
None.
It wasn't an accident,
was it?
You killed Patrick.
Did I?
Well, I did
all of this for you.
I'd still do anything for you,
anything at all.
Okay.
Then make it stop.
We'll just leave
everything the way it is.
Okay?
Okay.
One condition.
What's that?
Dance with me.
What?
I want to feel you
one last time.
Dance with me.
Come on.
It's just like old times.
[door creaking]
[gas hissing]
[engine cutting out]
Ah, terrific.
Goddamn terrific.
[dashboard bell ringing]
[seagulls cawing]
I really don't see
why we had to come out here.
Uh, because we have a lot
of things to discuss,
and there's more
privacy out here.
Anyway, it's romantic.
I was kind of hoping
I might get lucky.
[door closing]
Ah, he's really doing
a great job in here, isn't he?
Oh, damn.
I've left the champagne
chilling on the boat.
[Oliver]
I thought you were giving up.
I was.
I see.
Come on. Give me. Now.
And the lighter.
You are so bad.
See you in a minute.
[door creaking open]
[cell phone ringing]
Baby, where are you?
I've been waiting for ages.
Sorry to disappoint you,
sweetheart,
but it's me,
and I need to talk to you.
What do you mean?
What about?
Well, I'll tell you
when I see you,
but right now
we need to have a meeting.
It's important.
Um, I'm at the cafe
in the town.
Hold on.
Yesterday, when we spoke,
you said that--
Kelly, it doesn't matter
what I said.
Just get yourself
over here now.
I can't afford to wait long.
Wait, Oliv....
Oliver?
[thunder rumbling]
[Oliver]
There we are, nice and cold.
Voila.
[goblets clinking] Salud.
My son thinks
we're murderers.
He thinks what?
I think you heard me.
My, my, he does have
an active imagination.
Seems as though it may be
a little more than
just imagination.
Oh, in what way?
[Maureen]
Somehow he's managed to have
Patrick's body exhumed
and a toxicology
test performed.
You're kidding.
That's extraordinary.
What's really extraordinary
is that the results
came back positive.
He claims that traces of
the herbal supplement
I use sometimes
to help me sleep
were found in
Patrick's system.
The doctor told me
that someone who's, uh,
you know,
got high blood pressure
could get cramps from it.
Right.
But he thinks that we....
You, Oliver, you...
You and I
conspired to kill Patrick
in some kind of a crazy plot
to gain control of the estate.
[Oliver laughing]
It's so ridiculous
I don't know what to say.
It's absurd.
God, no wonder you've been
feeling so anxious.
I have to ask you something.
Anything you like,
but just hold that thought
for a second.
I need to go to the bathroom,
all right?Hmm.
Go on. Have one.
There you are.
Help you get relaxed.
Last one.
Oh, what the hell.
[gas hissing]
No!
[police siren wailing]
Good evening, ma'am.
License and registration,
please.
[cell phone ringing]
Yeah?
[woman on radio]
All units. All units.
Harbor patrol.
Explosion reported
at Doherty estate.
Possible two victims.
[people chattering]
[cardiograph beeping]
[people chattering]
[Kelly]
You son of a bitch,
you lied to me.
You lied to me about
how my mother died.
You said it was Patrick.
You said Patrick
just walked away.
You lied to me.
You said you were gonna stop.
But you didn't stop, did you?
You went ahead
and you killed Maureen.
What else did you
lie to me about?
What else did you
lie to me about?
[Kelly panting]
You said you cared about me.
You said you were
gonna look after me.
But you were so jealous.
I hated Scott.
I hated him so much.
I hated him for everything
he had that I didn't have.
A family, a loving childhood.
I could have killed him
anytime in these
past three weeks.
Like that!
Do you know
what we were doing
at the city hall
when you were
getting married to Maureen?
Do you know, huh?
I could have killed him,
but I didn't.
I didn't because you told me
to bide my time.
[cardiograph beeping
more rapidly]
And I did.
[Oliver choking]
And now we're
not just fucking.
[Oliver coughing]
Now we love each other.
[Oliver gasping]
[Oliver coughing]
I'm looking for
Maureen Doherty.
I'm Scott Doherty.
She was brought in here.
Mr. Doherty, I'm very sorry.
We lost her.
It's funny how
things turn out, isn't it?
[Oliver choking]
[cardiograph beeping rapidly]
No! Don't die on me,
you son of a bitch!
[Scott]
I--I.... I need to know.
Room 14. Code blue. Room 14.
[woman]
Code blue. Room 14.
Hey!
What the hell are you doing?
I.... I...
Security!
[guard]Hey, you!Stop!
[guard]
Down the east corridor!
Come on!
[people chattering]
[police siren wailing]
Get out of the car.
Put your hands on your head.
[policeman]
And turn around.
Down on your knees.
[handcuffs rattling]
So,
you just walked in,
and you found the respirators
hanging out of his mouth.
Is that it?That's what I said.
Six times now.
What the hell's going on?
You guys know damn well
he's got a right to--Slow down, Counselor.
His choice all the way.
It's okay, Phil.
I didn't do anything.
Charge Mr. Doherty
or release him.
Why don't we give you
a few minutes
with your client, huh?
Did you say anything?No.
Did you bring Kelly?
Sure, she's right outside.
Phil, um, what would be
the line of inheritance
from my father's estate
if something was
to happen to me now that
my mother's gone?
Say I was to have
a fatal accident or
I was convicted of murder?
Vance?
Or my mother's.
Well, it's really
the same either way.
With you out of the equation
the inheritance passes
from your mother to Vance
to his surviving heir.
Kelly.
[door opening]Oh, shit.
Well, Counselor,
so we've been
talking to people.
What people?
Well, the local pharmacist,
people down at the market.
You installed
a new gas heater at the cabin
you were building, right?
Yeah, so?
And you rigged it
to kill them because
you had some crazy idea
that they murdered
your old man.
But it didn't work,
and you had to finish Vance
off at the hospital.
Scott Doherty,
you are under arrest
for the murder
of Maureen Doherty
and Oliver Vance.
That's outrageous!
You have no proof.
[Phil]
All right.
Scott, it'll be okay.
I'll call you.[Scott]
This is ridiculous.
I'll call the DA's office.
Talk to Kelly Vance.
It'll be okay.
You have the right
to remain silent.No!
You have the right--Stop! He hasn't
done anything wrong!
[Kelly]
Please stop.
It's not his fault.
There's something
I have to tell you.
I arrived at the hospital,
and I hear the code blue.
At that point,
I see Scott enter.
I'm gonna go in, but I panic.
Okay, so why did you
run away when the nurse
approached you?
Because he was scared, and--
I'm sorry,
the question is for Scott.
Do you mind?
Scott.
I know it looked like
I was holding a smoking gun.
So I freaked out.
I ran.
[sighing]
Now, listen,
why haven't you come forward
with this information
until now?
Because I was in
a state of shock.
I mean, I'd just found out
that Oliver had done--
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
So what are you saying here?
That this is all the doing
of your father, Oliver Vance?
He's not my father.
[police siren wailing]
I was adopted.
When my mum died,
my dad went mad.
Just lost the will to live.
Couldn't handle it.
So, um,
when I was about five
I walked into a room
and found him hanging
from a beam.
They put me in a foster home.
I rebelled.
By the time I was about 14
I was basically living
on the streets of
Johannesburg,
which is when I met Oliver.
He'd been in
the British secret service,
MI6, black ops.
Uh, he took me in,
looked after me,
eventually took me
back to England.
He was obsessed with the idea
that Patrick Doherty
was responsible for
the death of my mother.
I was happy somebody
was looking after me
for the first time,
but he just kept
harping on about revenge.
So then you decided,
"Hey, why not?
I'm gonna go along
with this guy"?
Well, I didn't know
what he meant by revenge.
I mean,
when he told me about Maureen,
I was intrigued
to go to Florida
and meet this family.
Uh, I mean, I'd heard so much
about Scott and Maureen.
Yes, Maureen.
So what about
Maureen Doherty's murder?
I...
I... All I know is
what Oliver told me,
which is...
He said it was an accident.
Patrick's death
was an accident.
And--and I believed him.
I had no reason
to suspect anything until...
Until Scott started
digging around and--and
we found the evidence.
Wait a minute.
What evidence?
The toxicology report
we spoke of earlier.
Go on.
Yesterday,
I confronted Oliver
and he admitted to
killing Patrick Doherty.
Your mother had
nothing to do with it.
[detective]
All right, you know what?
I have enough here.
Thank you very much.
You guys can go outside now.
Uh, Mr. Shields,
I need you to stay, please.
[Kelly]
Scott. Scott!
What's the truth, Kelly?
Was that the truth?
Is what Oliver said the truth?
Did he say
he killed my father?Yeah.
So my mother's innocent.
Yes.
How can I believe it?
Why didn't you warn me?
Why didn't you go
to the police?
I couldn't.
I was terrified.
He was a very dangerous man.
He watched everything I did.
I had no idea
what he would do to you
if I went to the police.
My mother is innocent.
Why did you pretend
not to know
about their affair?
I didn't know.
I didn't.
When we found those photos,
I was as surprised
as you were.
What about the bullshit
with the insulin story?
I know.
That's what I told
you at the beginning,
because I owe Oliver.
He saved my life.
I just said that because
I was trying to warn you,
and I was afraid for you.
I didn't want to risk
losing you.
I've fallen in love with you.
[people chattering]
That was ugly.
For now,
I think you're in the clear.
Besides,
they have no real evidence
against either of you,
so they figure
with your influence
you'd just get
the best legal team
money can buy
to torpedo any charges
they might bring.
Dodged a bullet.
Both of you.
[Scott]
So where were you?
[Kelly]
I went into town.
I even got
a bloody traffic ticket.
Phew.
A traffic ticket?
That's a pretty smart alibi
during the explosion,
to get a traffic ticket.
Alibi?
Why would I need an alibi?
I don't know.
Why don't you tell me?
Scott, I don't understand.
What really happened
in that hospital room
before I got there?
You were there before me.
You were there
the whole time, weren't you?
God, are you accusing me?
I never touched him.
Do you realize that
he would have killed you?
How could I let
that happen, huh?
I love you.
You know that.
More than anything
I ever loved.
Just tell me the truth,
Kelly.
You don't trust me, do you?
[sighing]
After all I've done for you,
you don't trust me.
After all you've done?
What have you done, Kelly?
My family is dead.
I just wanna know.
Has this all been a setup?
Well, there's no love
without trust.
I love you,
and I will always,
always love you.
Jesus!
Kelly!
[car swerving]
[Kelly]
Scott!
Jesus! Shit!
[tires screeching]
[Kelly screaming]
[screaming]
[groaning]
Let's go.
Come on.
Come on.
[groaning]
Okay, it's gonna be okay.
Scott.
Where are you hurt?
Are you hurt here?
I'm so sorry. So sorry.
[sobbing]
I...
I.... I had to let him die.
I had to let him die.
He was so dangerous.
He was...
He was so jealous.
I told you the truth.
I told you truth
about my mother.
I told you the truth about....
To the police.
It's the truth.
I love you so much.
I love you so much.
I want us to be together.
Kelly, I forgive you.

Hey, Scott,
how's it going, man?
Listen,
I just heard your new tracks.
Now,
you get yourself straight up
to New York, man.
You got yourself a hit record.
