The Secrets She Keeps (2020) s01e03 Episode Script

I slept with Simon.
When the baby is born,
I want a paternity test.
This is Jack's baby.
Oh, come on, Meg.
We both know the dates add up.
No.
AGGIE: Dear Jack, I know
you're having an affair.
I also know
your wife is pregnant.
End the affair now
or I'll tell Meghan.
I accept I'm probably
the father.
You are.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
They're letting him
come home.
Isn't it great?
Hayden is going to be
with you at the birth.
AGGIE: Hello, everyone.
This is Rory.
He's sleepy right now,
but I'll send pics soon.
I'm exhausted,
but so, so happy.
[COMPUTER BEEPS]
To my little boy.
You are due tomorrow.
I have worried constantly
about you,
but all the scans say that
you are healthy and strong.
I know most mothers
like to write lists
about things
they want for their kids,
but I'm not really
one for lists.
I rely a lot on guesswork,
and thankfully,
most of the time,
it seems to work out.
But I do promise you
these things.
I'm going to say some things
that I don't mean.
I will say no
when I probably
should say yes.
But I vow,
when I make a mistake,
I will apologise.
Most importantly,
I will love you
unconditionally.
Even if you vote conservative,
or barrack for Collingwood,
or forget to call me
on my birthday.
I can't wait to meet you
[CAMERA CLICKS]
my little boy.
I'll see you very soon.
Love, Mum.
PS, if you scoot over
just a little bit
and stop kicking my kidneys,
I will buy you a puppy.
[COMPUTER CHIMES]
Hello, everyone.
This is Rory.
He's sleepy right now,
but I'll send pics soon.
I'm exhausted,
but so, so happy.
MEGHAN: "Congratulations.
He is beautiful!
"I want all of the details.
How was the labour?
"Call me
when you get a chance.
"Best wishes, Meghan."
[COMPUTER CHIMES]
[SINISTER MUSIC SWELLS]
I just can't get you
out of my head
Oh, your loving
is all I think about
I just can't get you
out of my head
Oh, it's more
than I dare to think about
Set me free
Oh, la, la

What else does she say?
"I'll explain everything
when I see you.
"Right now I need to rest.
"I'm coming home soon.

for when I'm in hospital.
Oh, you didn't
have to do that.
You know I can cook
takeaway any time.
Oh, yes.
Do you wish
I wasn't having a cesar?
No. I'd rather you were safe.
It won't be the same, though.
Be all clinical.

[MOBILE PHONE VIBRATES]
Aggie!
AGGIE: You sound puffed.
I hope you didn't run.
[SIGHS] Oh, no,
I was just upstairs,
but I'm breathless
all the time now.
Where are you?
Why are you whispering?
Er, the baby's asleep.
Oh, congratulations.
Thank you.
[MEGHAN CHUCKLES]
You said to call.
I hope you weren't
just being polite.
No, of course not.
We're on the same ride
at the same time.
We're bonded for life.
[OMINOUS MUSIC BUILDS]
MEGHAN: How is
the new arrival?
-Beautiful.
-Aww! He arrived early.
Well, I wanted
to beat you to it.
[LAUGHS] I want
all the gory details.
Are you sure about that?
Uh-huh.
Well, it only took six hours,
which isn't
that long, I guess.
Oh, my God!
Now you're just showing off.
And when the baby
was crowning,
I looked down and realised
I had my shoes on,
and I thought, "Oh, my God,
"I am not giving birth
with my shoes on."
Oh, dear.
So, yeah, that was funny.
I love the name Rory.
Did Hayden
make it back in time?
No, he only got off the plane
this morning.
Oh, that's such a shame.
Is he gonna go to Katoomba
to be with you?
My mum doesn't have
the space for him,
and I'll be back
in a day or so.
[OMINOUS MUSIC BUILDS]
I'm going in tomorrow.
Are you nervous?
Mmm, a little.
-[TRAIN ROARS]
-[GASPS]
Are you near a train line?
Er, yeah, my mum's house
is right on it.
One went past here
at the exact same time.
It sounds like
you were right outside.
[OMINOUS MUSIC BUILDS]
[LAUGHS]
Are you tired?
[YAWNS]
Now you really are
spying on me.
I heard you yawn.
Mmm, yep,
I am exhausted,
but I don't think I'm gonna
get any sleep tonight.
Well, I'll let you go.
Mmm. Thank you for calling.
I can't wait
for our babies to meet.
Me neither.
MEGHAN: Hmm.
-Meghan?
-Mmm?
Good luck tomorrow.
Thank you.

white bread, and cordial,
and she can suck it up.

Oh! Hello.
Rhea Bowden.
Hi. Yeah, I remember.
How are you?
Great. How's the house?
Are you happy with everything?
Um Yeah.
Extremely, thank you.
Great. I was looking for Jack.
Jack?
He promised me a testimonial
for my next brochure.
I'm following up.
Uh Yeah,
he's not here right now,
um, and we're to go
to the hospital today.
So, it'll probably
have to wait
till after the baby's born.
Oh! Gosh, yes.
I won't hold you up.
But tell Jack
to give me a call.
Yeah, no problem.
JACK: Shit! Fuck!
What are you doing
at my house?
What did you say to her?
Relax. I only said
I wanted to see you
about the testimonial.
I've been calling and texting.
All right, forget about that.
I can't do it.
I need this, Jack.
My competitors are killing me.
Whoever put that note
on my windscreen,
if they see me
spruiking your business,
they're gonna go
straight to Meg, OK?
I'm trying to put
everything I got
back unto my marriage.
Look, this isn't how
I saw things
playing out either.
[HORN HONKS]
I'm not gonna risk
my marriage and my family
for something that was just
a meaningless fling, OK?
-[HORN HONKS]
-Stop.
[CAR DOOR SLAMS]
[RAPPING AT DOOR]
Hello?
Don't tell me
it's sailor boy at last!
I'm looking for Aggie.
Well, shouldn't you
be up there,
waiting for the birth?
-No, she's already had him.
-What?
Yeah, she had the baby.
That's impossible.
She hasn't told me.
Better give her a ring.
Yeah, good luck.
Her phone's been off.
Well, I've got spare keys.
Come on down.
[SIGHS]
[HAUNTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]
[CAMERA CLICKS]
Jack.

[MOBILE PHONE RINGS]
Mum.

I'll come home soon.
[HAUNTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]
JACK: Megs was brilliant,
and this little man
got a nine out of ten.
You know,
that's an Olympic medal
on the Apgar scale
for my son.
Well done, you.
Right, mate,
you ready to meet Aunty Grace?
Hi!
-Oh.
-Oh, yes, hello!
Oh, my gosh, look at you,
little heartbreaker.
God, he looks just like Mum.
That's hilarious!
I think he looks like Jack.
By which she means
devastatingly handsome.
LUCY: Let's kiss him!
-Oh, OK, just gentle.
-Yeah!
-Come in.
-Oh, that's nice.
Not too much of a good thing.
LUCY: I can't see him.
I'll kiss him!
Yeah, but if you
kiss him too much,
you'll kiss his face off!
All right,
all right, all right,
all right, all right, shh!
OK, hey, hey, who's hungry?
-LACHIE: Me.
-Let's go and have a look.
LACHIE: Yeah!
JACK: Come on, let's go.
Come on.
LACHIE: Daddy,
get us chocolate.
MEGHAN: I knew
everything would be fine
once he was here.
Jack's in love
with him already.
GRACE: Mmm-hmm.
-Please don't mention Simon.
-I didn't, but now you have.
He doesn't
really look like Jack.
Well, he doesn't look
like Simon either.
What are you gonna do
about the DNA test?
I'll worry
about that tomorrow.
Please just let me have today.
[SIREN WAILS]
LUCY: Aunty Grace, can I go
in the front seat of the car?
-Hey!
-LUCY: Uncle Simon!
Hello! How you doing?
-Hey!
-GRACE: Hey.
-We have a baby!
-Do you?
Hey, guys, can you go finish
your chips over there
so that they don't
mess up my car?
Thank you!
What are you doing here?
The same as you.
No. They've just
had the baby,
so they just need
a little bit of space.
Jack knows I'm coming.
Yeah, but he doesn't
know why, does he?
She told you.
Er She told me that
you're causing trouble.
So much for keeping secrets.
Oh, we're sisters,
so, we tell
each other everything.
Then did she tell you
who the father is?
It's Jack.
I don't need you
going in there
and giving him
the reason to doubt that.
This is between
Meg and myself.
And your best friend,
and their baby,
and their children,
and their marriage.
Listen, if you thought
there was a chance
that a baby was yours,
you would want to know too.
[PLASTIC RUSTLES]
Please don't tell me
you brought
a DNA kit with you.
I warned her.
Simon, don't be a dick!
-This is not the time
-We're finished.
Can we take Uncle Simon
to see our baby?
Uh, no, Uncle Simon is gonna
leave, actually. Aren't you?
Uncle Simon is gonna
come back another day.
-Another day.
-Mmm, OK.
-Say goodbye. Let's go.
-Bye!
-SIMON: Bye.
-No, we're gonna go this way.
LUCY: Can we go
to the zoo tomorrow?
LACHIE: Yeah, zoo!
GRACE: Maybe.
LUCY: Please?
I wanna see the pandas.

something wrong?

Did the nurse have a name tag?
If she did,
I didn't read it. Why?
Can you describe her?
Uh, she was tall.
Slimmish, I guess. Dark hair.
Wait, why are you asking us
these questions?
She knew our names.
Our name was on the crib.
Your baby wasn't scheduled
for a blood test.
-But the nurse said
-Where is our baby?
I'm sure there's
a totally logical explanation.
