Finding You (2021) Movie Script

1
("Wallflowers" playing)
Quiet
Dreaming
Grab all your things, we're leaving
We won't ever belong
Let's never go home now
Never go home now
We are with this
Together in the stillness
We won't ever belong
Let's never go home now
Never go home now
(music fades)
(violin plays scales)
(whispers) Please let me get in.
(exhales)
- (man) Finley Sinclair?
- Yes!
(skillfully plays classical music)
(car horn honks)
- (woman) Is that you?
- (Finley) Yeah.
How'd it go?
- (sighs) So much for prayers.
- Oh, honey.
You can still audition
one more time in the fall.
Come here, come here, come here.
I know.
You might need to think about a plan B.
Maybe what you need
is a change of scenery.
Maybe I can try that Semester Abroad
program that Alex did.
(pilot) I'd like to welcome you
on this flight to Dublin, Ireland.
It will take us approximately six hours
and 10 minutes of flight time
Hey, there's an extra seat
in first class if you want it.
It's a long flight to Ireland.
- Yes, please.
- Come on.
Have fun.
- Magazine?
- Yeah, thank you.
(woman over pa) The captain has turned on
the "fasten seat belts" sign.
- Please remain in your seat
- (Finley snores)
Sir, your friend needs
to put her seat belt on.
(man) Yeah, thanks.
As much as I'd love a beautiful girl
drooling on my shoulder,
you better buckle up. (chuckles)
I'm I'm I'm so sorry, um
And don't worry, your snoring is cute.
(laughs)
I'm I'm so sorry. I don't I didn't
even think I would fall asleep.
It's not something I
- Beckett Rush?
- Shh! Jeez.
I've gotten this far
without being bothered.
Look, if you keep quiet, I'll give you
an autograph or something when we land.
Just no body parts.
I stopped doing that a while ago.
- Oh!
- Flight attendant probably thought
she was
making your year sitting you next to me.
- (scoffs)
- We can do a selfie or something,
just when we land. I don't want
to attract any attention.
I really don't want anything from you.
- Somebody's grumpy when they wake up.
- No, but arrogance makes me grumpy.
Well, some people mistake confidence
for arrogance.
I'm pretty sure it's just arrogance.
I know your type.
So, since you know my name,
I think it's only fair that I know yours.
Finley Sinclair.
And what brings you to Ireland,
Finley Sinclair?
A Semester Abroad program at my college.
My brother did this a few years ago,
and he loved it.
Changed his whole life.
Maybe it'll work for me.
Mmm. So you have issues?
Hmm. Life can be tough
outside of the celebrity bubble.
You know, in the real world.
- A bit of advice for you.
- Hmm.
You might wanna
brush up on your people skills
if you're gonna make it
in a small Irish town.
Oh! And, um, are you an expert
on small towns in Ireland?
Yeah, I am, actually. We've shot
three Dawn of the Dragon movies there.
About to shoot number four.
Hmm
Touch. I sit corrected.
You know, you look really beautiful
when you admit that you're wrong.
(Finley sighs)
Yeah, I didn't like that article either.
(Finley exhales)
(traditional Irish music)
(air steward) Bye-bye. Bye.
Whoa! You any good on that thing?
Uh, not good enough, but I'm going
to be practicing a lot while I'm here,
- and working on a new audition piece.
- Sounds boring, but suit yourself.
Who knows, maybe we'll run into each
other in a pub somewhere, Spindly.
(laughs)
It's Finley, and I seriously doubt that.
Well, I hope you find
what you're looking for,
and maybe even a little bit of fun
while you're at it.
Welcome to Ireland, Felicity Sinclair.
- (Finley) It's
- Peace out.
- (air steward) Have a nice trip.
- Okay, never mind.
(indistinct pa announcement)
(girl) Oh, my God, it's Beckett!
(excited chatter)
- Will you sign this for me?
- All right, okay, one at a time.
(girl pants)
- Finley!
- Oh!
Hey, you.
Oh, you look exactly like your picture.
- Emma?
- We're sisters for four months.
Okay, it's nice to meet you, too.
I heard Beckett Rush is at the airport.
His new movie is the biggest thing
that has ever happened in Carlingford.
- Do you like him?
- Um, you know, a little too cocky for me.
I love him. Fact! (laughs)
Hello, Finley!
- Hi!
- It is so good to have you.
- We just loved your brother.
- He was one of the family.
And now you are, too.
The good news is that we inherited
a bed and breakfast three months ago.
Sean has retired from the army,
and we're running it together.
We're still trying to figure it all out.
(laughs)
Come on, everyone, let's get going
before we get into the second hour
in the car park.
- I'll get your luggage.
- Oh, thank you. I can get this at least.
Take this.
("Hope" playing)
Well I tasted the darkness
As it scorched through my soul
And I tried to escape it
But it swallowed me whole
And I tried to evade it
By running away
Or filling my mind
With spurious things
(Nora) This town might be
a wee bit small for a New York girl,
but we'll get you out to show you
the rest of the country soon.
(Finley) I can't wait to see it all.
The old castles, the Cliffs of Moher.
My brother used to talk about that place
all the time.
- (Nora) We'll take you all over.
- (Finley) That would be amazing.
Find hope
It's saving my soul
Find hope
It's saving my soul
- Here we are.
- (Nora) Emma, go show Finley to her room.
(Emma) I'll give you the full tour later.
There's a trampoline
and if you jump high enough,
you can see into the next-door
neighbor's bathroom. (chuckles)
Don't worry, all the guests
are at the other side of the house.
You can play your violin up here
any time. No one will hear ya.
This is my room.
Mam thought
that you'd like your own one.
But yours has the best views.
My nan used to live in it.
She actually died there.
I wouldn't be scared about that.
Obviously, I'm around the corner
if you ever wanna talk,
do nails, sister things
Leave her alone, Emma.
Finley needs some rest.
She has her orientation in the morning.
Out!
(Emma sighs)
- Good morning, Finley.
- Hey!
- Did you sleep well?
- All right.
So, we're just busy serving the guests.
Pour yourself some tea.
Sean'll cook you some eggs.
(Sean) Coming right up!
- I need to get my hair to behave.
- Emma, you mustn't go out there!
I don't want you disturbing the guests.
I found her chatting on with a guest about
her earthworm collection.
I have a passion for biology.
They don't need to hear
about earthworm droppings at breakfast.
Go around. Why do you always have to...
(both yell)
(Sean groans)
Always go clockwise!
That's our new system!
Never mind. This is getting cold.
And we can't afford any bad reviews.
We can't go out there
wearing cranberry juice.
What would our guests think of that?
(sighs)
Love, I hate to ask,
but would you mind taking this
to the gentleman in the corner?
All you have to do is set it down
on the table, smile, and walk away.
Yeah, of course.
- You?
- Good morning to you as well.
- You didn't spit in my food, did you?
- What are you doing here?
- What does it look like? I'm a guest.
- In one of these rooms?
Yeah, that's usually how it works.
- Are you stalking me?
- No!
I thought you might be. I didn't buy
that whole "I'm not interested" bit.
I'm staying here, too.
What, the Callaghans are your host family?
- Yeah.
- (laughs)
Shouldn't you be
at some boujee hotel with your harem?
What are you talking about?
This is boujee. It's posh.
The cooking's great.
And the service is even better.
Usually.
Well, I have to go to orientation,
so enjoy.
I'll be staying here
for the next few months while we film.
So, no sneaking up into my room,
young lady.
Oh, don't worry.
I'm not supposed to bother the guests.
Even if they bother me.
- What do you have against me?
- I am trying to stay focused.
And I just don't think
you're gonna help with that.
- And how would you know?
- I see the news.
Well, maybe things aren't always
as they seem.
I know your type.
I'll see you later, Frankey.
Hmm. It's Finley, but good Good try.
(snickers)
Um
Why is Beckett Rush
in the dining room?
What? No.
No, that's definitely him.
- (Emma chuckles)
- You can't tell anyone.
Beckett Beckett Rush is in my house?
I'd never even heard of him
till yesterday.
Of course you didn't.
You're such a dad.
He's only, like,
the biggest movie star in the world.
- She's got posters of him in her room.
- Ah, that's where I recognized him.
Nora, dear
- (Emma yelps)
- (box clatters)
- Do you have any jam for the scones?
- Yes, sure, love.
- Just made it fresh yesterday.
- Ah, brilliant. Cheers.
(Emma laughs excitedly)
(squeals)
Your daughter has lost her mind.
This is exactly
why I didn't want to tell her.
Now Not a word.
We have promised him to keep it quiet.
- The whole town is gonna find out.
- Well, it's not gonna be because of us.
We are going to give him a place
away from the press.
If they find out,
the B&B could be at risk.
And we can't afford a bad review
from an international celebrity
right when we're starting out.
(pants nervously)
Oh, shite!
(whistle blows)
(players shout)
I hear the Heart Slayer
is staying at your B&B.
See, the whole town knows,
and I can't say a word.
Don't worry, Irish small towns
are good at keeping secrets.
- The people here won't let it out.
- Yeah, and if they do,
my parents'll lose
their entire life savings,
and I'll end up in an orphanage. Yeah!
Your mam is going to be washing
his sheets. How insane is that?
Not the first thing
that came to my mind, but yes.
Hey, maybe Beckett will ask you
to the dance.
Right.
The hottest guy in the whole world
is gonna break up with Taylor Risdale,
look me in the eye and say,
"Hey, Emma, will you go out with me?"
- No one has ever even asked me to it.
- (laughs) Bull. What's this dance?
It's the big town festival
that happens every autumn.
It's where all of our parents
fell in love.
- It's disgusting.
- It's amazing.
The whole town comes out for it.
Outside, under the lights.
It's so romantic.
- Or depressing.
- Guys are already starting to ask.
Well, maybe this is your year.
Yeah, maybe. (chuckles nervously)
Any lads you fancy yet?
- It's just my first day.
- Maybe Beckett will ask you.
I think he prefers
his snooty celebrity soirees.
Not really my type.
- (dramatic music)
- (distant screaming)
Dragons! To the battlements!
(men shouting)
Archers, at the ready!
- Oriana!
- My love!
Come with me, I'll protect you.
My bow!
Stay close.
(dragons roar)
(man yells)
(grunts)
Oriana, keep going!
If you save me,
my father might finally accept our love,
my one true knight.
Duck!
- (man grunts)
- (horse whinnies)
More dragons!
(dragon roars)
We have to go, now!
(screaming)
(dragon roars)
(snarls)
I am Steele Markov, son of Talagorn.
May this arrow be true,
and find the heart of this beast.
(director) Cut!
Okay, guys, back to one.
(crew chatter indistinctly)
- How was that? Did you feel it?
- Yeah, sure.
(director) Beck. Beck, Beck, Beck
How are you, man? Okay, yeah?
Everything good?
- Yeah.
- What the bloody hell was that? Huh?
I just thought I'd try something
a little more subtle.
- Subtle? Can you amp it up, man?
- I can amp it up.
Great. Okay, good.
Because, if not, my friend,
I am afraid we're going to have
to kill off your character.
- I am joking! (laughs)
- (nervously) Oh.
I no serious. I make a joke. Just to
Okay, he can do it, guys.
He's okay. Let's go.
He can do it, I think.
Back to one! Take 17.
You okay?
- Yeah.
- All right, good.
Hey, listen,
I heard the studio is considering
a trilogy of Steele Markov
spin-off movies for you and Taylor.
So, you'll finally be getting paid
what you're worth, plus back end.
So, you know,
just give him what he wants.
- Yeah.
- Yeah. Don't screw this up.
(scoffs)
- Okay, uh, just give me some space. Okay?
- Yes, whatever you need. Of course.
- I'm here for you. All right?
- Thanks.
(crew member)
So one more like that, please.
(insects chirrup)
(checks tuning)
(knocking at door)
- It's just me.
- Oh, come in, Nora.
Finley, I'm sorry, but we can't take you
to the Cliffs of Moher this weekend.
Sean has to fix a heater
and re-tile a bathroom,
so I have to do the hosting
while he's working.
(Finley) Uh
That's Yeah, that's okay.
But I got you a bike
down at the shops today.
So, you can use that
to get around town at least.
Thank you. Yeah. No.
You know, I have plenty of time
to see the rest of the country.
(Nora) Aye, plenty.
Listen, I was, um,
cleaning up in here a few weeks ago,
getting the place ready for you and
I found this under the dresser.
It's Alex's journal
from when he was here.
I didn't pry or peek or anything, but
Maybe just a little.
Enough to see it's
Got all his drawings and writings.
It's old-fashioned, like.
- Yeah, he was like that.
- I was gonna send it to your mum, but
Then I just thought
I'd give it to you. I
I wouldn't want it
to get lost in the post.
Thank you, Nora. This is amazing.
He was always working on those drawings.
(sighs)
Now you can see
all the things he loved here.
Yeah. Um He was so at peace,
you know, when he
when he came back, and
He was just an amazing brother.
He was.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to bring up sad memories.
It's okay.
Are you done yet?
I don't like dead bodies near my feet.
Yeah. Uh, are there more crosses
like this around here?
- Yeah, like, everywhere.
- Oh.
(folk violin plays nearby)
Oh, come on, Finley.
I think something just touched me.
Uh Yeah.
I got to get practicing anyway.
Good. Let's go. Run! It's no bother.
Oh, sorry about that.
Have a good day. Come on, Finley.
(plays intricate passage)
(stops abruptly) Okay.
(exhales)
(plays intricate passage)
(stops abruptly)
(knocking at door)
Nora? You can just come in.
Wh What are you doing here?
You're pretty good
on that thing, you know?
You You heard me?
Yeah.
Yeah, you play like your personality.
- And how is that?
- Beautiful, but a bit stiff.
Hmm.
What are you doing up here anyway?
- I'm about to ask you a favor.
- I'm about to say no.
And I'm about to ignore that.
I need some help running my lines,
like somebody to work off of.
- No.
- How could you say no to this face, huh?
Oh, I am up to date on all of my shots
and immune to everything.
- Oh, come on, Frankie.
- It's Finley.
No wonder you don't remember your lines.
(chuckles)
Look, uh
Things have been tough on set.
And my scenes aren't going well.
I'm in my head, and I need something new
to break me out of it.
Yeah, I, uh I know all about that.
- Oh, cool drawing. Did you do this?
- Uh No!
Hey, I did not say you could come in.
Why? Are all your deepest,
darkest secrets in there?
No, this is my brother's
from when he spent time here.
I just
I can't get this cross out of my mind.
I mean, why would he write my name
at the bottom of this?
Have you seen this anywhere?
Yeah, there's crosses like that
all over the place.
No. I I need to find this one.
So why don't you just text him
and ask him where it is?
He's dead.
Oh. Uh, wow
I'm sorry. I didn't
I didn't know. Uh
- What happened?
- Um I don't really talk about it.
Especially not with Steele Markov,
the Heart Slayer.
(sighs)
Well, I'd like to think
I'm a bit more than that.
If you ever wanna talk, I I'm here.
Seriously.
Well, not here in this room, exactly,
'cause I'm not allowed in.
(chuckles)
We could talk downstairs,
or wherever you want.
- Okay, let's go.
- Where?
- Run your lines.
- Really? 'Cause we don't have to.
Oh, come on, before I change my mind.
"Oriana, we must find a way.
Don't give up on us."
"My father is the king.
He won't allow
anything to interfere with his conquest.
He's going to marry me off
to the Prince of Moor.
He'll kill you if you get in the way."
"Well, I'd rather die loving you
than live without you.
My heart can't handle living a lie."
- (laughs)
- (sighs)
- Come on.
- I'm sorry.
- Okay.
- It's so bad.
Okay! Okay, okay, okay.
Just give me a minute here.
I got to find it.
(exhales) Right.
Okay. Uh
(exhales)
"Oriana, we must find a way.
Don't give up on us."
"I I'm doing it to protect you.
My father is the king.
He won't let
anyone interfere with his conquest."
"I'll find a way."
"They're gonna marry me off
to the Prince of Moor.
If you get in the way, they'll kill you."
"I'd rather die loving you
than live without you.
My heart can't handle living a lie."
- How was that?
- Um
That was That was great.
Uh not stiff at all that time.
Uh, I need to I need to go to bed.
- I have class tomorrow, so
- Oh, that sounds amazing.
- Yeah, you should try it sometime.
- I wish I could.
- I mean, I'd love to go to college.
- (chuckles) Yeah, well
Hey, um
Thanks for this. Seriously.
You were great.
Yeah, any time.
Night, Francine.
(Mrs. Campbell) As part of
your Irish studies class,
you must complete a service project
in order to see this country
from a different perspective.
So, each one of you will be adopting
a senior citizen
from one of the nearby nursing homes.
You will spend at least 20 hours
with your new friend,
and you will do what you can
to serve them during this time.
At the end of the semester,
you will be expected to turn in an essay
outlining what you have learned
from this experience.
(woman) So, thank you so much
for coming down to help.
- You'll find her right through here.
- Okay, thanks so much.
- Hello, Mrs. Sweeney.
- Get out.
Oh, I'm I'm Finley Sinclair.
I don't care if you're
the Blessed Virgin Mary. Get out!
Uh
I I was actually
I'm I'm here from the college.
- I was assigned to you.
- I don't need schoolgirls pestering me.
I'll give you three seconds
to remove yourself.
One, two, three. Nurse!
- Um
- Nurse!
- Nurse!
- No, no, no. It's okay.
- I'll I'll
- What's going on here?
I have an intruder!
Don't you remember our conversation,
Cathleen?
What about? Me eating more prunes?
(laughs)
The one about you being civil to people
who come to visit you.
I don't need any visitors.
I didn't last year or the year before,
and I don't today.
You know what?
I'm sure I can get reassigned.
I'm sorry.
It was really nice to meet you.
But can't you just give me
some other old person?
Please, I mean, she's a crazy witch.
If I reassign you,
then I'm going to have to make allowances
for all the other students.
But she doesn't want me
or anyone else there. Please!
The staff wouldn't have assigned her
a student if she didn't need it.
Oh. Isn't there just a food bank,
or an orphanage, or just anything else?
This is the assignment.
If you choose not to do it,
you won't pass your Irish Studies class.
I I need to get a good grade on this.
Then you'll have to go make broomsticks
with the witch.
Cheers.
(sighs)
(door opens, closes)
(sighs)
(knocks)
Hello again, Mrs. Sweeney.
I I think we got off
to a bad start the other day.
Well, how
How many times do I have to tell you
to leave this bloody room?
Oh, I can't do that, Mrs. Sweeney.
But we're gonna be friends.
I did bring Pride and Prejudice.
- I don't like Jane Austen.
- Too bad.
And I don't want to spend
all that remains of my life
with the likes of yourself.
Hmm, okay. You know what?
I tried to get out of this, but I can't.
I was really hoping
for this sweet old granny,
but I got stuck with you.
So now I have to do this
so I can get a good grade,
get into this music school.
I have one last chance
to audition in three months.
So, we're gonna be friends,
whether you like it or not.
- Have you finished?
- Mmm-hmm.
If this is
what young people have come to,
then the whole world is doomed.
I'm calling the nurse. Nurse!
- Okay. Well, I'm not leaving.
- Nurse!
"It is a truth universally acknowledged
that a single man
- Nurse! Nurse!
- "ln possession of good fortune
- must be in want of a wife."
- Where's the nurse?
- "However"
- What's all this noise?
She won't leave.
She's invading my privacy.
I want you to remove her at once!
Did you enter without her permission?
Yeah Yes.
And did you refuse to leave
when Mrs. Sweeney asked you to do so?
Yes.
Good on you, young one.
Cathleen, you can shout all you like,
but Finley's welcome to stay.
Bye, ladies.
Um, if it's any consolation,
this went much better in my head.
(Cathleen) Hmm!
(Finley) (sighs) Okay.
"It is a truth universally acknowledged
that a single man
in possession of a good fortune must"
- Did she calm down?
- Yeah. She fell asleep.
I have to check on a resident.
Do me a favor
and pop this into her top drawer.
Cathleen always tells me
to throw her post away,
but I know she just digs these letters
out of the bin and saves them.
No idea what it's about.
Hey, how was the nursing home?
Well, that bitter old lady,
Mrs. Sweeney, really hates me.
They've assigned you Cathleen Sweeney?
- Mmm-hmm.
- Who is this lady?
I wanna meet her.
I bet you I could make her smile.
(mocking laugh) Not a chance.
(timer pings)
Gather round!
Fresh scones!
(yells)
Damn it!
When are you going to learn?
(sighs) Try a scone, guys.
Thanks, love.
- Brilliant, Mr. Callaghan.
- Finally, something we can agree on.
How's the movie going?
- I know Emma wants to know.
- Dad!
Well, it wasn't going well until
I started running lines with Finley.
Now the director can't stop
complimenting me.
He says Steele Markov has come alive.
Oh!
Do you think we could run
my other lines tonight, maybe?
(clears throat) Um, I really need to get
to my violin composition at some point.
Well, I can work around your schedule.
I mean, if you want
to come to set after class or
Or we could work here.
Uh, there's nothing special about what
I did. Anyone could have done it.
Thank you, Nora.
Hey, do you think we can go
to the Cliffs of Moher this weekend?
I am so sorry, honey. I feel terrible.
These scrapbookers are here all weekend.
We can't leave.
- It's okay.
- Well, I could take you.
Uh, no I'll I'll
I'll just go with them when they can.
All right.
Let me know if you change your mind.
- (Keeva) Tom.
- (Emma) Taken.
- Francis.
- Taken.
- Shaun.
- Taken.
- Martin.
- He has a micro scooter.
- Does he?
- Yes.
(woman) I can see the look in the eyes
when young ladies are thinking
about the festival.
I hear the fellas are starting to ask.
- Molly runs the pub.
- Oh, hi! Finley.
Hey, it's where I met me husband.
A magical night.
See, it's like everyone.
Hey. I've been asked a couple of times.
- Of course you have.
- You'll be there, Emma?
I mean, I know it's been difficult
for you in the past.
I mean, it was so sad,
seeing you alone last year, but
I mean, I can help you out, if you want.
But, uh, I just got cast
in the new Beckett Rush film,
so I just have to run on set
and shoot some things
with Beckett and Taylor.
But I'll see you guys around.
Get away from my shop,
you old drunk. Go on!
- Relax, Aileen.
- Go on!
I was gonna buy a book. Have you got
any nice romantic novels for sale?
- Get out of here. Go.
- All right. I'll leave. I'll leave.
But I won't come back here
and buy me books here anymore.
(Aileen) You're scaring my customers.
Well, good afternoon, young ladies.
Any chance of the price of a pint
for a local struggling musician,
who places art above all else?
Look, I would, Seamus,
but I only have 1.47 and a lollipop.
Well, it's a start.
Seamus, go sleep it off
in the back of the pub.
Uh
You're right, Molly.
Thanks, but no, thanks. Ladies.
Got to take care of me best customer,
and tonight's musical entertainment.
He's been napping here in the streets
for years.
He's got a little cottage up the road,
but he rarely makes it back there
at night.
(sighs) What can you do? It's his life.
He'd rather buy fiddles
than pay the bills.
Oh, I better help him. Good luck!
(car approaches)
(sighs)
A convertible in Ireland?
Yeah. I want to be ready
for the three days a year it doesn't rain.
- What are you doing?
- I was actually looking for that cross.
- Oh, you're not gonna find it here.
- How do you know?
'Cause I already checked.
Oh. Okay.
I'm a little worried about
you hanging out in graveyards like this.
It's pretty creepy.
So, I'm gonna offer you a deal.
- Not interested.
- Just hear me out, okay?
You help me with my lines,
and I'll be your personal tour guide.
Show you all the sights of Ireland.
Huh? Come on.
It'll help Mrs. Callaghan
feel less guilty.
- Totally harmless. Trust me.
- No, I don't.
No, no, no, no, no.
I am merely a humble tour guide.
And for a limited time only,
I'm gonna offer you a free tour,
you're getting the better end of the deal.
So, come on. Let's go.
I'm taking you to the Cliffs of Moher.
I can't. We can't go now.
Don't you have a photoshoot to do?
No. I told them I had to help my boring
friend learn how to have some fun.
- (sighs)
- Come on, Finley. Take a risk.
You never know
if you're gonna have tomorrow.
Okay.
(Beckett) Here we are,
at the beautiful Cliffs of Moher.
And what's that?
This is my disguise, young lady.
Pretty inconspicuous, don't you think?
(laughs)
Breathtaking cliffs ahead, and you're
taking pictures of grass. Come on!
Well, there's not that much of it
in Brooklyn.
Is that Beckett Rush?
(groans) I was hoping
for just one day without this.
(girl) Can we please get a selfie?
Oh, Johnny, don't you worry
about that nasty rash you have.
- I still love you.
- What is she saying?
(Irish accent) Franny dear,
don't you think we ought to get married?
It's only right
after you gave me those twins
- at the ripe young age of 16.
- I'm an unwed mother?
I'm a diseased baby daddy.
What do you want from me?
(chatter)
- I think we should leave it.
- Okay, come on.
Okay, they're gone.
You can let go of my hand now.
- You were holding on to me. Okay?
- (chuckles)
Whatever. That was close.
- Thanks a lot for protecting me.
- No problem.
So, what's the big deal
with these cliffs anyway?
- Just you wait.
- (chuckles)
Come on, hurry up, hurry up.
Come on, come on, come on.
(they laugh)
Ah! See?
- Now this This is Ireland, huh?
- (exhales)
It's wild, it's amazing, it's
- Beautiful.
- I know.
All right, come on.
There's better views up ahead.
Come on. Come on, come on, come on.
(upbeat music)
(Finley) Can I ask you
a personal question?
Do you even really like
being a movie star?
I mean, who wouldn't, right?
It's not what I asked.
What was it like going to high school?
It's It's grueling,
and fun, and weird, all at once.
- That sounds amazing.
- Oh, yeah.
No, I mean it. You're lucky.
Well, didn't you go to school on set?
Usually, it was just me.
Sometimes a few other child actors
and a tutor, but
No prom.
No graduation.
No embarrassing gym class.
Do you regret missing out on that?
I regret a lot of things.
I bet those birds
don't regret anything, though.
(Finley chuckles softly)
They're just free.
I don't know, I guess
sometimes I just miss blending in.
Being normal, you know?
There's the real Beckett.
Too busy. You know what I mean.
(chatter)
(crew member) Rolling. Guys,
rolling, quiet, no one moving around.
Turn over.
- Three, two, one. Action.
- Wow.
I'll have someone tell him you're here.
Oriana, it is not yet wise
to reveal your magical powers.
Indeed. I will keep them hidden
until the time is right.
Just like our love.
(director) Cut! Oh!
Taylor, Beckett, really great.
You are marvelous, my dear.
Finley! Hey, what are you doing here?
Did you sneak onto set?
I mean, I'm not going to tell anybody.
No. Beckett invited me.
I wonder what my girl Taylor
will have to say about that.
- Finley! Hey!
- Hey!
You made it!
So, uh, what do you think, huh?
- It's amazing.
- Yeah.
Hey, babe, who's this?
Finley, this is Taylor.
Uh, she's here to help me out.
Kind of like an acting coach, so
How kind! Um
So, what other actors
have you worked with before?
I actually haven't worked
with any other actors before.
This is my first time on set,
but it seems pretty cool.
- She's a real natural, though.
- Interesting.
We should probably
run the lines for the next scene.
Come on, Finley, this way.
- It's a real honor to meet you, Taylor.
- Oh, the pleasure is all mine.
Come on, this way.
(Beckett) Tired from working
on set all day?
Me? No. I am perfectly fine,
'cause I did nothing.
Well, that's what usually happens
on a movie set.
- (laughs)
- Nobody does anything. Oh!
- Uh, is this one of your girlfriends?
- Yeah. No, it's, uh
- Beckett!
- My manager.
They got me staying here tonight.
My hotel suite won't be ready
until tomorrow.
- Oh, hello, and you are?
- Hi. Uh, Finley Sinclair.
I'm Beckett's father, Montgomery.
Oh! It'sso nice to meet you.
- It is an absolute pleasure to meet you.
- (chuckles)
Did you get those scripts
that I overnighted?
Yeah. The, uh, first two
Dawn of the Dragon spin-offs?
- You read them?
- Not yet. Uh, I've been kind of busy.
The, uh, studio is really, really in love
with what you're doing on set.
So, they made an official offer.
It's strong.
- Five movies over seven years.
- Whoa!
(all laugh)
I don't know, though. Don't you think
it's time to maybe branch out a little?
To what? We're building an empire here.
To something that shows
what I can really do.
I mean, I want to do something more
than just sword fighting
and outrunning fireballs.
Oh, but you're so good at it.
That's what the fans wanna see.
Right? Isn't that right?
You have a very small window
to capitalize on this.
Yeah, I'll
I'll think about it, for sure.
Right now,
we gotta cash in on these sequels.
So, hurry up and read those scripts.
Let's do it.
- Yeah, I will. I will.
- Yeah.
Do they come out and
get your bags here or
- No. Uh, don't worry, I've got it, Dad.
- Okay, great.
- So sorry to bore you with all that.
- Oh, uh (clears throat)
I want to hear all about you.
Where are you from?
- (Finley) Uh, New York.
- New York? The Big Apple.
- (birds sing)
- (sheep bleating)
(knocking at door)
Good morning, Mrs. Sweeney.
And how are we today?
- I brought a Twilight book.
- Who are you?
Belinda did warn me
that you might pretend to be senile.
Ah! I don't want the sun.
Oh, that explains it.
The vampires have gotten to you, too.
- You'll really like this book.
- I'll decide what I like.
"It was 75 degrees in Phoenix.
The sky a perfect cloudless blue.
I was wearing my favorite shirt,
sleeveless"
It's cold. I want to go inside.
Ah
You know, Mrs. Sweeney, um
Who is Fiona Doyle?
What? That's none of your business.
Oh, I just I thought that maybe I could
help you find the right address.
I have the right address.
- Then why
- I don't want to discuss it.
- Okay.
- You've been snooping in my drawers.
Uh
What's up, ladies?
- Groovy day, don't you think, man?
- (Finley) Hmm.
Convincing.
Do you need directions to Woodstock?
Whoa, whoa, sister! Give peace a chance.
Mrs. Sweeney, this is Beckett Rush.
He's an actor in Dragon movies.
Mrs. Sweeney,
it's very lovely to meet you.
I've heard a lot about you.
Yes! I've seen you on television.
You're in love with the princess.
- (laughs)
- Um, hey, I brought you some treats.
'Cause I know they're not giving you
the good stuff here.
Although I know
it's nothing like your cooking.
- You're probably a whiz in the kitchen.
- Baking is my specialty.
Sugar and spice, my kinda lady.
- Huh!
- (Finley chuckles)
You really can't turn it off, can you?
There's nothing wrong
with spreading a little cheer.
- Come on, make love, not war.
- Tell me, when did you start acting?
Uh I was seven years old.
My father got me into it.
No!
- You ever do any acting?
- Oh, yes.
(Beckett) What was your first role?
At school, I played the White Rabbit.
(chuckling) The White Rabbit?
You look kinda like the White Rabbit.
(all laugh)
You're funny. You're a twit.
(all laugh)
Aw. Thank you so much.
All right, thanks for letting me
stop by, guys, okay? Peace out.
Peace.
- He's a fine young man.
- He's a total player.
Ah! Don't tell me
I don't know what I'm talking about.
He's a good boy.
I can spot a bad one a mile away.
Now, carry on reading your book.
(sighs)
"In the Olympic Peninsula
of northwest Washington State"
Thank God we've kept Beckett
hidden from them so far.
Hey Do you know much
about Mrs. Sweeney?
I don't like to say things
if I've got nothing nice to say.
- Well, she's not that bad.
- No, she's not bad.
She's terrible.
So, then who's Fiona Doyle?
- Her sister.
- Oh.
Mrs. Sweeney really wants
to get in touch with her.
What happened there?
I heard Cathleen Sweeney
stole her own sister's fianc.
I mean, who would do such a thing?
I'm saying no more.
Then, she left him,
a few years after they get married.
He was heartbroken.
They say he drank himself to death
not long after.
That's it. I'm saying no more.
But if Mrs. Sweeney is the man stealer
Then why is she the one
that's so bitter?
Just getting what she deserved, I guess.
(plays classical piece)
(sighs)
(knocking at door)
(insistent knocking)
- (sighs)
- It's your friendly Irish tour guide.
- Uh Hey!
- Let's take this out of your hands.
Let's actually be really careful
with that.
We don't really need it because
I have got the rest of the week off,
and it's time for your next tour.
We're about to have ourselves
some real Irish fun.
It's not a good idea for me
to be going out
to one of your exclusive nightclubs
or whatever it is you do.
And who says that I'm into nightclubs?
Uh, every tabloid
in the supermarket checkout line.
Well, don't believe everything you read.
Beckett, I I really have to practice.
Hey, as your tour guide, it's my job
to make sure you don't spend all of your
time in Ireland cooped up in this room.
It's what you find outside of this place
that's gonna help you
write yourtry-out song.
- It's a composition.
- Whatever. God, you are so uptight.
- No, I'm not.
- Oh, yeah, you kind of are.
(chuckles)
Fine. Where are we going?
You will see, milady. Come on, let's go.
Um, I'm not even dressed!
No, no, no. You are perfect
just the way you are.
- Come on, let's go. We're gonna be late.
- Wait!
(Beckett) This is my favorite place
in all of Ireland.
(Finley) This is exactly
what I was afraid of.
- A pub?
- (Beckett) Just trust me.
(lively chatter)
Good golly, Miss Molly!
I've missed you!
- If it isn't me favorite fella! Finley!
- Hi, Molly.
Give everybody a round on me.
Drinks are on me!
(cheering)
Cole, you stand guard at the door.
Make sure no reporters get in here.
Beckett Rush rules! No pictures!
These guys are great.
- Where's Seamus?
- He's already had a few pints.
Looks like it's time
to wake him up then.
Come on. You could learn
a thing or two from this guy.
What am I gonna learn from him?
He's, like, homeless anddrunk.
You'll see. Don't worry.
Seamus.
Oh, Molly, let me just
crash here tonight, will you?
Oh, you can crash with me any time.
- Oh, it's you, boy.
- (both laugh)
- What do you want?
- Well, what do you think I want?
I want you to get this party started!
I brought this American girl here
to show her some real Irish fun.
We can do that.
Mush-a ring dumb a do dumb a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
Whoo!
Mush-a ring dumb a do dumb a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
He's good.
There's whiskey in the jar-o
(cheering)
(Seamus) Thank you, boys.
I'm told we've got a fine young fiddle
player here in the audience tonight.
Can you go up
and give us a tune, please?
No, no, no. I I don't play fiddle.
I play the violin.
Oh, fiddle, faddle, fuddle,
whatever you call it, it doesn't matter.
Come on up here and join us, lass.
- Ah, go on, get up there.
- Go on.
(Seamus) Come on, girl! We won't bite ya!
Come on.
Give her a round of applause, everybody.
(cheering)
I'm going to kill you.
Yeah. That's fine.
Justafter you play.
Now, repeat after me.
(plays melody)
(repeats melody)
(plays different melody)
(repeats melody)
Now, you're in a pub in Ireland,
not in an orchestra.
Enjoy yourself. Doesn't matter
what your fingers or the notes are.
It's how you play them, right?
Play them with your heart.
Play it like you feel it.
If you feel it, they will.
Do you love that instrument?
- Yeah.
- Now show them you love it.
You'll have them
wrapped around your finger.
All right. Here we go, boys.
(plays first melody)
(repeats first melody)
(plays second melody)
(repeats second melody)
(Seamus) That's it. (chuckles)
- All right!
- (audience claps rhythmically)
(cheering)
Well done! Well done, girl!
Great stuff, great stuff.
Oh, you did great. Now I hope you'll
come and join us again next week.
There's a fiddler in there,
and we need to let her out.
You know what I mean?
Show what's inside of you.
- What's your name?
- Finley Sinclair.
Finley. Now that means "fair warrior."
No wonder you were brave enough
to come on stage with us.
Well, that's pretty interesting.
What's my name mean, Seamus?
Beckett, it means,
uh, bee cottage or beehive.
It means you're probably descended
from a long line of irritating pests.
(laughs)
(band plays folk tune)
- And wow!
- (laughs)
- That was absolutely amazing.
- I've never heard anything like it.
- He plays with everything he's got.
- Not bad for a homeless old drunk, huh?
I stand corrected.
Wow, you are really beautiful
when you admit that I'm right.
- Did you plan this?
- No, not at all.
Okay. Maybe a little.
(laughs) Thank you. That was sweet.
Sneaky, but still sweet.
Finley Sinclair, you're actually not
so bad when you decide to have some fun.
You're not so bad yourself.
- But we can't get involved.
- No, definitely not.
- I couldn't possibly be a good guy.
- And I'm trying to be a good girl.
- And we don't even like each other.
- We're just too different.
It would never work.
It'd be impossible.
(chuckles)
Wow! Thank you.
That was actually a lot of fun.
(chuckles)
But, um, we should probably keep tonight
between you and me.
I don't want you
to get dragged into the public eye.
Of course. Probably just another
meaningless kiss for you anyway, so
No, it It wasn't Trust me.
(sighs) I don't.
(snickers)
- Goodnight, Fair Warrior.
- Goodnight, Bee Cottage.
Get in here. I saw that!
What is going on with you two?
You can't say anything to anyone.
You kissed him?
You did? You kissed him.
I can't even really still talk to him,
and you kissed him.
- My sister kissed Beckett!
- Shh!
Definitely keep this from my parents.
It's rather obvious.
You two have been all googly eyed
for each other the last few weeks.
- But I'll keep it classified.
- Especially from Mam.
What planet do you think I live on?
A blind man could see that coming.
Really, it's It's probably nothing.
I mean, I don't even think
he meant anything by it.
Either way, this can't get out.
If it does, there's no way
he's still staying with us.
And I don't want
any late-night shenanigans.
- Your mother would have my hide.
- (Finley chuckles)
Ah. Would you look at that?
(Nora) They look good together.
(excited laughter)
("The Places We Will Go" playing)
Every breath holds a moment
Every one a chance to take
You can see if you close your eyes
We already know the way
(inaudible)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Forever you and me
It doesn't work
if you don't have money.
Running wild and free
Chasing down the sun
Oh, we've just begun
It's a winding road
(cheering)
"You really showed 'em this time.
That dragon won't be back in any hurry."
"Oh, you can say that again, Arthur."
"Well, Steele, our dragon seems
to have struck up a deal with them"
(Beckett)
"What? Arthur, what? Spit it out!"
("The Places We Will Go" continues)
(Beckett) This place is super-cool,
one of my favorite spots.
You gotta go under for good luck.
Quick! Come on!
Okay, so this is called
the Dominican Friary.
(music plays over dialogue)
- (Beckett) You had fun today?
- (Finley) Yes.
(Beckett) So, what do you think
about letting your tour guide
take you on a date?
(Finley) Seems harmless enough.
(Finley chuckles)
(both chuckle)
Well, it was either this,
or fish and chips at the pub, so
Wow, this is so much better.
How did you do all of this?
Well, I had a little bit of help
from some friends, milady.
- Hello.
- Hi!
There you go.
- Thank you so much, Ciara.
- You are very welcome.
- Have a good night.
- Thank you, Ciara.
(Beckett) See you guys.
- Well, bon appetit.
- (chuckles)
You have to try this, okay?
Just come here. Come here. Trust me.
All right. Make sure you're in there.
- Um
- Good?
Yeah. Uh, are you sure
you know what you're doing?
Don't worry about it.
I grew up on these things, okay?
Um, yeah. The problem is, I'm just
I I don't really like heights.
Heights?
- There you go.
- (Finley squeals)
(Beckett) Here I come.
- It's not so bad, is it?
- Yes, it is.
We're flying, Finley! Come on!
- Oh, you're so good at this.
- I wonder why.
Legs up, legs up.
Let it spin, let it spin.
There you go. You did it!
Just don't look down.
See? You're flying.
(both laugh)
- Okay.
- I got you. I got you.
See? That wasn't so bad now, was it?
No, it was fun.
So, what would you want to do
if you ever stopped acting?
(scoffs) It's a waste of time
to even think about it.
It's not really an option for me.
Well, what if it were?
Maybe go to college. Study history.
I just want
to live a normal life for once.
Wouldn't you miss all your dragons?
(dragons roar)
(woman) Help!
My love, you're injured.
It's only a flesh wound
from a dragon's claw.
It will heal.
I cannot say the same
for your father's castle.
You have defended it valiantly.
I believe in you.
I believe in us.
I will fight for your love
until the end of time.
Cut!
Print! Moving on!
Taylor, very special.
Thank you, my darling.
You, my friend.
You are so money. Fantastic.
How did you do it?
You are 100% animal,
0% vegetable. Gorgeous.
It's delicious. You taste of victory.
I need a little sparkling water, please.
I felt that, Beck.
Thanks, Tay. You did great, too.
- Very strong performance, son.
- Thanks, Dad.
- They were crying at the monitor.
- (chuckles)
Seriously. Does that feel good?
- Yeah. Yeah, it felt great.
- It should.
Yeah, everyone's very impressed
with your work.
You have a lot of leverage right now.
You should really sign those contracts.
I guess. Yeah.
Hey, you're trending.
Have you seen the article?
- No, I was busy.
- With your assistant?
- No. Just busy.
- Mmm-hmm.
Here it is.
"Beckett Rush was spotted in Dublin.
The heartthrob spent the evening
with two models
at the exclusive Emerald Lounge
until Taylor Risdale showed up,
discovered the tryst,
and a catfight broke out.
R 'n R is officially on the rocks."
Yeah, and my name
is officially trashed again.
Your movie sales spiked 5%.
You should be thanking me.
Um, so, you know, things with
the hippie guy are going interesting.
Oh, and I'm still taking violin lessons
from Seamus.
Of course he calls it the fiddle.
Oh, next time you come,
bring the fiddle.
I'd like to hear if you're any good.
Yeah, I will.
Um, Mrs. Sweeney, I
I heard about what happened
between you and your sister.
No, stay out of my business.
Well (chuckles)
I mean, you are just the grumpiest woman
I have ever met in my entire life.
I know something, you know,
made you that way, right?
And what they said you did is
Well, it's pretty shady, but
No, no, you know what?
None of this makes sense.
I know that you care about Fiona,
so I'm gonna help you, no matter what.
I don't want your help.
Leave me alone.
- What?
- I'm dying.
What?
Cancer.
I've only a while to live.
Why didn't you say anything?
(chatter)
- (Finley) Hey.
- (Beckett) You're late.
I know. But I just
I came from Mrs. Sweeney, and
Let's just run the lines, okay? Please.
Okay.
- Um
- (Montgomery) Well, well, well!
How is my son's lovely assistant doing?
I'm more of an acting partner.
(Montgomery) Oh. I used to be an actor.
I mean, things have changed a lot
since then.
I think it's so kind how you sacrificed
so much for Beckett's career.
He was a natural.
I mean, he needed to be in L.A.
to make his dream a reality.
I don't ever remember saying
I wanted to be an actor.
You did. "Dad, I want to be in movies,"
is exactly what you said.
(scoffs)
I was six years old. I also said I wanted
to be an astronaut and a giraffe.
(laughs)
Excuse me, Beckett,
they're ready for you on set.
I'll be right back, okay?
Actually, I need to leave, too.
I could really use your help
on this scene after we shoot.
I need to do something for Mrs. Sweeney.
- Beck, we need you on set.
- Yeah.
(Finley) Sorry.
(crew) Nice and quiet for rehearsal.
Finley.
Hey.
You seem like a really nice girl.
And I just don't want you
to get your hopes up.
This kind of thing happens all the time.
Uh What What do you mean by that?
I just suggest you keep things
very professional with Beckett.
He's with Taylor.
Is he? I I just
It doesn't really seem like he is.
No, they'll be back together again
very soon.
Oh, okay.
So, you manipulate
his career and his love life?
His love life is his career.
So, if you really care about him
Don't get in the way.
- Seamus!
- Hey! No broom. No broom.
What? Finley?
What are you doing here?
I I need you to tell me
where Fiona Doyle lives.
What are you doing
with those bickering old ladies?
I I need to help Mrs. Sweeney.
Why? No one else ever has.
I know, I know.
And that's what I don't understand.
Why does everyone hate her so much?
(sighs)
Cathleen Sweeney. (chuckles)
Cathleen was an absolute stunner.
She was the best-looking girl
in the town.
And it was no surprise that
she was able to lure Charles Sweeney
away from her sweet little sister.
When he died
shortly after Cathleen had left him,
the whole town blamed her,
and she had not a friend left.
She was shunned by everybody,
even by her own family.
Now, no one wants
the opinion of an old fiddle player.
Between you and I,
I think there was more going on.
It just didn't add up.
You know what I mean?
Here, show me your map.
- Oh, I hate these things.
- Sorry.
Look, she lives in a little farm
just outside of town.
Now, it's a hell of a bicycle ride
up the hill,
but you never know, we might be able
to figure something out.
What time does Connor come by
to pick up the empty kegs?
He said he'd be here half an hour ago.
He should be here any minute.
(Irish folk music)
Thanks.
(birds sing)
Ah, have you come for the pig?
Uh, no. Hi, I'm Finley Sinclair.
I'm a friend of your sister's.
- I don't have a sister.
- Uh, please wait.
Cathleen's dying of bone cancer.
She doesn't have much time.
She got what was coming to her.
- Did she make you come here?
- No. She has no idea that I'm here.
Cathleen ceased to be my sister
the moment she went after that man.
So now, good day to you.
(chatter)
So, what,
she's got only a few weeks left to live?
I just I don't know what to do.
Now, Miss Sweeney won't talk,
and Fiona won't listen. So, I'm stuck.
Our latest post
just reached a million likes.
I forgave you.
You know, it reminds me of that picture
we took in Paris when we were 15.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Hey, Beckett, Taylor,
they're ready for you on set.
Thanks.
Look, Finley, can we just talk later?
Yeah, of course. Yeah.
Hey, look at
all these articles about us.
"Beckett rushes back to Risdale.
R 'n R returns.
Beckett begs for Taylor to come back,
and she does."
This is very good for us.
(sighs)
Finley!
Finley, I called you, like, 100 times.
I've been trying to talk to you.
I'm busy running.
What, so you just run away
when things get hard?
Not exactly a warrior.
I thought it wasn't safe for you
to be out here without a disguise.
(Beckett) I'll be fine.
Hey! We need to talk.
- Please.
- About what?
You and Taylor hanging
all over each other on social media?
I told you it's not what it looks like,
okay? Just trust me.
Are you and Taylor together or not?
(vehicle approaches)
(excited chatter)
(girls scream)
(Beckett) Hey!
- Can we please have a picture?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah
(cameras click)
- Thank you.
- All right. Did everybody get one?
- (girl) Thank you. Bye.
- (Beckett) Cool. Thank you, guys. See ya.
Finley! Finley, Finley.
I am trying
to work through all of this, okay?
But this is bigger than just me.
My life isn't always my own.
I mean, my father, he has an entire team
of people organizing my public life.
You just don't understand, okay?
I have no control.
It doesn't answer my question.
Are you and Taylor together or not?
Uh
(softly) Yeah.
Our first film together
didn't do so well.
The studio was about
to lose a lot of money.
And then, my dad came up
with this brilliant idea
of a stormy relationship
between Taylor and I.
It started with a lot of truth.
But then, my dad just
started making things up.
And before I knew it,
I had this whole other persona.
But the worst part of it is
it worked. It saved the film.
So, it is all fake.
I can't be with a guy
who has this entire made-up life.
And I told you I can't do anything
about that right now.
(scoffs)
I've always wanted
to ask a girl to a dance.
And this weekend,
there's the St. Finian's Festival.
And I would love it
if you would come with me.
- In public?
- Yeah.
- No disguises?
- No disguises needed.
Although I am pretty good at them.
(chuckles wryly)
But this time,
it would just be meand you.
Okay.
(Nora) Here, let me get a picture.
(Sean laughs)
While you're all here.
I'm good. Okay.
And smile.
Emma.
(Irish folk music playing)
(loud chatter)
(Seamus)
When I woke up, I was all alone
Of a day-I-ay-I-ay
With a broken heart and a ticket home
Look, there's Emma and Orla.
Orla!
Are you sure?
What are we doing standing here?
Let's go dance, come on.
Come on, let's dance!
I've been all over this world
Boys, I ain't never seen nothin'
like a Galway girl
(cheering)
(song ends)
(all cheering)
Now, folks,
we're very fortunate here tonight
to have with us a lovely American girl
who's a very fine violin player.
But I have seen her develop
over the last few months
into becoming a great Irish fiddler.
Finley, come up here
and give them something to dance to.
Come on. Get up here.
(cheering)
Let's go for it.
Two, three, four.
(lively folk song)
Orla, come with me.
Whoo!
What a surprise
to see you here without Taylor.
Yeah, you know, I couldn't believe
my luck when Finley said yes.
She's pretty talented,
wouldn't you agree?
- Yeah. Indeed.
- (Beckett) Yeah.
You'll have to excuse me.
I'm going to ask this young lady
for a dance.
May I have this dance?
Yes. She says yes.
Come on! Whoa!
(music ends)
(cheering)
- Thank you, Seamus.
- Oh! They can hear your heart now.
- Oh!
- (Finley chuckles)
You better go back to your fella.
I can see he's getting a bit lonely.
(both laugh)
- You wanna dance?
- Do you wanna dance?
- Can I have this dance?
- Can I have this dance?
Wow, now that was
a different girl up there.
Well, thanks to
a certain Irish tour guide.
No, no, no,
thanks to an old Irish busker
who was the best teacher
she could ever ask for.
So, how is your Irish prom going?
Perfect. But there's one thing
I haven't done yet.
What's that?
Kiss a beautiful fiddler
under a starry Irish night.
(chuckles) Well, too bad
I play the violin.
Close enough.
(chuckles)
(camera clicks)
(bells ringing in distance)
(distant chatter)
Um
About four years ago
After my brother got back,
he was helping at this refugee center
in the Middle East.
And, uh
I guess he was just
at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Whoa.
I'm so sorry.
Alex had this peace about him, though.
He was so alive.
I know it's probably a stupid idea,
but, uh
I don't know,
I thought if I could come here and
See what he saw
I could find what he had.
Sorry. I I didn't mean to drop
all of this on the Dragon Slayer.
Hey
I'd like to think
I'm a little bit more than that by now.
Hmm.
Yeah, you are.
(distant thunder)
Hey, you guys want to know
where Beckett Rush is staying?
Yeah, sure.
(reporters clamor outside)
Oh, no!
- (man 1) That's him.
- (man 2) He's coming.
Who's the girl in the car?
(reporters clamor)
Who's the girl?
Who's the girl?
(reporters clamor)
- (Beckett) Get out of here!
- What does Taylor think?
Are you sure you wouldn't like some tea?
With blackberry scones or biscuits?
Very kind of you,
but I think I lost my appetite.
Taylor Risdale is in my house.
Do you think maybe
we should give them some privacy?
Never! I've got to see this.
(Beckett) It's ridiculous.
You'd think they'd have
enough pictures of me.
- (Finley chuckles)
- (Montgomery) This is a mess!
What the hell were you thinking?
What do you mean?
We just went out for a night.
What is so wrong with that?
I'm trying to save his career
before he pisses it away.
I'm trying to have a life
before you piss that away.
All right,
I think it's time to go to bed.
Long day. Emma, Orla?
Tea is here if you want it. Goodnight.
This is how I'm gonna spin it, okay?
Beckett Rush crashes a small Irish
festival, or whatever the hell it is.
You have one too many drinks.
You make girls' dreams come true
by giving them kisses.
That'll keep you wild, kind,
and still with Taylor.
The fans will eat that up.
How can you do this to him?
- That's not who he is.
- And how long have you known him?
You need to be quiet and step away
from things you know nothing about.
Beckett, she doesn't know you
the way that I do.
- He's just
- Finley, that's enough, okay?
Son, you're the envy of the world.
Why wouldn't you want that?
He just does this to please you.
Can't you see that?
He just wants to have a normal life.
- Maybe go to college.
- Finley, just stop.
You know what? Maybe Taylor's right.
Maybe you're never gonna understand.
(scoffs)
You're just his puppet.
You don't even have the balls
to stand up for who you really are.
Hey, don't worry. Okay?
She just can't understand our life.
It's for the best.
Will you guys just leave me alone
right now?
I'm telling you!
I'm warning yous right now,
get out of here, the lot of ya!
- (Beckett) Thanks so much, Nora.
- Fair play, Nora.
I really wish
I didn't have to leave you guys.
But you're never gonna have any peace
with me staying here, so
We'll miss you.
But you can come back
and be my sous-chef any time.
Sean, I got you something.
(Sean laughs)
No more burnt hands, huh?
I love them. Thanks, buddy.
- Nora.
- Oh, sweetheart!
I'm gonna miss you guys.
(chatter)
- Beckett, let's take a walk.
- I'm sorry, I'm working.
I don't care. Come with me. Now.
Ciara, Sinead, Logan,
everyone down there,
everyone in post and marketing in LA.
All these people, your friends
who work on the movie,
they're here because of you.
They depend on you.
Your movies sell,
which provides for their families.
If you're not gonna do this for you
or for me, at least do it for them.
And Taylor.
You've grown up together.
You've been through a lot.
She's the only person on this planet
who truly understands
what you've been through.
It's just not like you to betray people.
(plays melancholy folk tune)
I'm so sorry.
- It's fine. It's fine.
- It's okay.
It doesn't matter. It's fine.
(phone ringing)
- Hello?
- Finley, it's me, Seamus.
Oh, hey, what's up?
Can you come down to the pub
as soon as you can, please?
Uhyeah, sure.
- Hey, guys.
- Ah, there you are, Finley.
So what's up?
Give him a chance.
Thank you, Seamus.
Hey.
Sorry about all that.
I just didn't think you'd come
if I called.
I've been thinking about you.
Your audition's next week.
Yeah.
Look, uh
I'm sorry about the other night.
I screwed up.
Please, just give me a little bit
more time, and I'll figure all this out.
(voice breaking)
If you wanna live this double life
I can't be a part of either one.
(voice breaking)
Look, it's harder than it looks, okay?
I'm just trying to protect you.
I don't want you
to expose yourself to the media,
have your name dragged through
the mud like that. Do you want that?
Yes. If that's what it takes to be real.
It's not just about me, okay?
I have a lot of people depending on me,
and I don't wanna let them down.
Yeah. Um
You know, Taylor was right.
No.
I don't know what I was thinking,
that this could work.
But we can, okay?
Come on. We can.
You just gotta trust me.
I tried.
(exhales)
I mean, you're probably the first girl
to ever break up with Beckett Rush.
So why am I crying so much?
Hmm.
(sniffles)
(melancholy violin tune)
You see, Finley, life rarely works out
the way we plan it.
You've got to learn
to play the sorrow as well as the joy.
They are linked, like day and night.
You can't have one without the other.
Give it a go.
(plays melancholy tune)
Very good. Good.
Ah, beautiful.
Beckett told me you broke it off.
Are you suffering?
- You saw him?
- Mmm-hmm.
"Make love, not war. Love, Beckett."
(chuckles)
(sighs) Yeah.
My little troubles seem petty
compared to yours.
I asked you. I want to know.
He's a good boy.
Yeah.
It's hard to change.
Mrs. Sweeney
What really happened between you
and your sister all those years ago?
- I took my sister's fella.
- No, don't give me that.
- There has to be more to it.
- People would tell ya otherwise.
Well
Being here in Ireland
has taught me to look deeper.
Things aren't always as they seem.
My father was a gambler.
He'd bet on anything.
Horses, politics, the weather.
(chuckles weakly)
Eventually,
we were about to lose our house.
It would've killed my mother.
She It had been in her family
for generations.
So, my father made a deal
with Mr. Sweeney
Which had a very high price.
Our family name meant something then.
Charles Sweeney had money,
but he had no social standing.
My little sister
didn't have many suitors.
So how did you end up
with Charles Sweeney?
When Charles Sweeney drank,
he got angry. He was violent.
I had an eye for these things.
He was clever.
Oh
He left bruises where you couldn't see.
So, you took her place?
You were protecting her,
and she never knew.
She thought I took him for the money.
My sister was blinded with young love.
How did Charles Sweeney die?
People said I killed him.
Did you?
If wishes were bullets
(sighs gently)
Why didn't you just start over?
When no one wants to hear,
it's better to hide.
Hide and be angry.
Well, didn't I wear my anger
like a grand fur coat?
It all was for nothing.
Wasted years.
In the end, it's a choice,
and I made the wrong one.
(Finley sniffles)
(thunder)
(phone vibrating)
- Hey.
- Hey, I need a favor.
So, you called me first?
No. Um, I tried everyone else.
- Last resort.
- Okay. Uh, what's up?
Mrs. Sweeney told me the whole story.
I have to get to Fiona's.
Where are Did you try
riding up there in this rain?
Maybe. Perfect day for a convertible.
(chuckles)
All right, I'll be there.
Hey, uh, we really need to talk to you.
It's important.
- I have nothing to say to you.
- She's just trying to help, okay?
Please, hear her out.
(Beckett) Thank you.
We justwanted to let you know that
Cathleen isn't expected
to live much longer.
We've talked about the past some
Her regrets.
How could you steal a man away
from your own sister?
She tried to explain herself
in the letters.
Did you ever even read them?
- Why would I?
- Miss Doyle,
your sister married Charles
to protect you.
He was physically abusive.
How am I supposed to believe all this?
Cathleen begged your father
to drop the arrangement.
But he was in too much debt,
and Charles was
Too dangerous to cross.
- It was so humiliating.
- (Finley) I'm really sorry about that.
But your sister has been shunned
for decades for trying to help you,
and you won't even open the letters
that she
Finley.
Look, Miss Doyle.
Your sister's dying wish is that
she would have your forgiveness.
Please, just
Come and see her.
I think you two
should be on your way now.
(insects chirrup)
(knocking at door)
- Hey!
- (Taylor) Hey.
Come in.
- What's up?
- Nothing. How are ya?
- Pretty tired.
- Yeah.
So, um (sniffles)
Are you seriously thinking about
not signing that contract?
Uh
I don't know yet.
Beck
Look, we
We're in this together.
You and me, we're we're linked.
Always have been.
What you do impacts me.
Please don't do this.
After everything we've been through
We need this.
Yeah.
So what are we supposed to do?
Just sacrifice our whole lives?
I don't know.
It doesn't make any sense to me.
So few understand this life
that we lead.
Does she really know you the way I do?
Think about it.
I will be in my room
if you wannatalk.
Hey, Tay?
- Yeah?
- Um
- Hmm.
- (Beckett chuckles nervously)
Would you ride your bike in the pouring
rain just to help an old lady?
Of course.
But I wouldn't need to.
Just hire a driver.
(Taylor chuckles)
(sighs)
(Finley) I leave for New York tomorrow.
Hmm.
It's crazy to think
that this one audition is gonna decide
the direction of my life.
Yeah.
If you'd got in the first time
You wouldn't be bugging me now.
- Yeah. I guess that's true.
- I'm glad you botched it.
Mrs. Sweeney, I'm
I'm so sorry
that I couldn't get your sister to come.
I I really tried.
I did everything that I could,
- but she just She wouldn't listen.
- I trust you did.
With everything that you did
for your father and your sister,
you are the bravest person
I've ever met.
- You obviously haven't met many people.
- Shut up.
(both laugh)
You wouldn't have said that
a few months ago.
Yeah, well, I guess
Ireland is just full of surprises.
Fact.
Bye, sweetheart. Wind in your sails.
Can I have a word?
I'm not signing that contract.
Here's the deal.
I'll do one more film
in the next six months.
And I don't care how much money I make.
I'm not doing this for me, or for you.
I'm doing this for the cast and crew
so they can prepare for life
after Steele Markov.
That's my offer. Take it or leave it.
(Montgomery clicks tongue)
As your manager,
I have to warn you that this is
the most asinine thing you've ever done.
I don't need a manager right now.
I need a father.
(plays folk tune)
(backing track plays)
Soyou think it's good enough?
You are ready for your audition.
Thank you, Seamus, for everything.
Now go and make them stuck-up
music professors tap their feet.
(laughs)
I will.
That's okay, I'll get it.
Emma, you take that.
Here's some soda bread
to bring to your mum.
We would have made more,
but we've been so busy.
Nonstop calls from people
wanting to stay in Beckett's room.
Imagine that.
(phone chiming)
Hello?
Oh, hey. What's up?
Did her sister ever come?
So she's all alone?
I have to go back.
Did you forget something?
What's wrong?
I need to be somewhere else.
Are you sure, Finley?
Yeah.
Am I too late?
No. You're just in time.
Cathleen, your sister's here.
Cath.
Fi
Oh, my God. Fiona.
(sniffles)
We're old.
(sniffles)
Yeah.
Where's
Finley. Come and sit with us.
Fi
We're okay now.
(wind whistles)
(chuckles softly)
No way.
(phone chimes)
So, you're back in town.
Still driving
this ridiculous convertible, I see.
Yeah, I'm all ready
for the next sunny day in two months.
I, uh I went to that cemetery.
- I told you I'd find it.
- Thank you, Beckett.
Sorry it took me so long.
I had to search every one
within 100 miles of here.
I guess I was wrong.
Maybe I can trust you.
Well, you still look gorgeous
when you admit that you're wrong.
- So, what did you find?
- Well
Four years ago,
my brother drew this picture
for this moment when I needed it most.
I couldn't see it then,
butI was never alone.
Well, sometimes things
aren't always as they seem.
(chuckles)
(Beckett) So
I didn't sign the contract.
What?
I'm gonna do one more movie
just to help everybody out, but then
Next fall, I'm going to college.
Well, girls' hearts will be shattered
all over the world.
Well, there's only one girl's heart
that I care about.
No more double life either.
Tomorrow,
the story's going to hit social media,
telling the world
that Taylor and I are done.
Finally! (chuckles)
I'm happy about it.
Because there's a fair warrior
I wanna try and win back.
(Finley) I finished the last few weeks
of my exchange program and went home.
(mother) Finley, is that you? Hey!
I told the conservatory
about Mrs. Sweeney,
and they allowed me
to audition after the deadline,
one final time.
(skillfully plays classical music)
(drum loop plays)
(violin backing track plays)
(Finley) I was accepted.
(music resumes)
Beckett visited, and of course
we crashed my old high school's prom.
That summer, I went back to Ireland
(Beckett) No burn!
and helped Beckett with his lines
on his last Dragon film.
Beckett began college in New York.
He's trying to be a normal guy,
but he still needs his disguises.
And, in autumn, at the conservatory,
I played the violin.
Or fiddle, as Seamus would say.
(music continues)
(music ends)
(Irish instrumental music playing)
