I can't believe you finally came.
Yeah, me too.
Oh come on. Do not be like that.
You know, I hope the driver never finds this place.
So I can get the next flight out of here.
Oh, come on, kid. Give me a break.
You deserve it, David.
Look, I told Donald that this wasn't a good idea.
Well guess what, you know, I said so too. I'm here only because of him.
Okay, that makes me feel really special. Thank you.
You're welcome.
All right, you better come in.
Here you will stay.
Like a prison cell.
Why do you hate me so much, son?
Why don't you give me a paper and I'll write it down for you, David.
Stop calling me kid, okay? It really pissed me off.
Ok, whatever you want, Jack.
Okay, whatever, Jack.
I don't know what to say except only
try and enjoy the next few days.
- It feels like forever. - Keep talking, Jack!
I don't know what's on your head.
Trust me, you don't wanna know.
I'll leave you with that. You must be tired after your flight.
Take a break and give me another shout out later, okay?
Thanks for your concern, David. But I'll be fine with me.
What am I doing here?
What's up, Jack?
Still alive, huh?
Who is it?
You two haven't met? It's Maria.
Since I'm alone again, I need someone to take care of me.
I worked on him. To help with homework. Cooking, cleaning, everything.
He's here a few hours every day. If you need anything, ask him.
I know what you think.
She is a very beautiful woman, the main reason I hired her.
It's great to have a beautiful woman in this place again, and in fact she's really good at cooking.
This is my son, Jack.
Nice to meet you, Jack.
Are you resting well?
- He doesn't talk much, does he? - He's just a little shy.
I'm sure she'll be fine, David.
Listen, Jack. I am sorry. I have a meeting at one o'clock and it will last a few hours.
So I'll leave you in Maria's hands, if you don't mind?
With pleasure.
See you, Jack.
It's hot today, isn't it? Shall I make you a drink?
- Yeah, of course. - All right, wait a minute.
- Please. - Thank you.
- So, how long are you planning to stay? - Just a few days.
Ah, really bad.
- Not really. - Why not?
David and me, we weren't really close.
Sorry to hear that, Jack.
Then you must be very close to your mother?
Why are you talking to me like that, for what?
Jack, I'm sorry if I said something to bother you.
Then why do you say?
I do not know. I just thought you were close to your mom, that's all.
Are you saying that David never told you?
She says if she's divorced, that's all.
That's David's trait. She never talked about him.
Do you live with your mother?
No, he doesn't exist. Excuse me.
I want to go home now. I left your dinner in the oven.
All right, see you tomorrow.
Sorry.
Yelled at you earlier.
This is not your fault.
It is okay. This is really my fault.
No, this is not.
My life is very complicated.
Isn't everyone?
When you say your mother is gone, what do you mean?
Where is he?
He died.
I'm really sorry.
No problem. It's been a long time.
But I thought your parents just got divorced?
Well, like I said. My life is very complicated.
You are okay?
Yeah, sure, thanks.
When did your mother die?
It's been a long time.
After your parents divorced?
Not. About the divorce, she's Linda, my stepmother.
They divorced last year.
Oh, it makes sense now.
I hate Linda. He's a bad person.
How old were you when your mother died?
I'm still a baby.
Are you still a baby?
She died in childbirth.
She died giving birth to me.
I wish I could remember something about him, but I can't.
It's not your fault, Jack. You're still a baby.
I feel responsible for her death, you know?
Always.
I killed him.
Don't say that, Jack.
You are okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
Already Night. I have to go.
Jack? Are you there Can I come in?
Go on, David. I am sleeping.
I thought we could go out to dinner tonight. There are good restaurants in town.
What do you think?
I'm not hungry and I'm not very interested. So leave me alone, okay?
All right, Jack. If you want to be sad and stay
in your room, just go ahead. I do not care.
You're not a kid anymore, now you're a man. So behave like that.
I'm a man, am I?
Leave me alone okay!
Have you had enough, David?
Hai.
I've never seen you here before, are you new here?
I'm just on vacation.
Your accent, you're from America right?
Ah, yeah.
I'm Becky.
Jack.
Are you here with your family?
Not.
With your boyfriend?
Not.
Good. How long will you be here?
Just a few days.
Ah, that's not fair.
Do you want to take a walk?
I have no idea. I have to do a few things.
Who is that?
Friend.
Would you like a drink?
Sorry I can't. I have to go back actually.
Can we meet again?
Of course, whatever.
Hi Jack. You're home really fast.
Well, yeah. There is not much to do here.
I just took a few pictures, that's all.
I'm thirsty. May I have a drink?
Yes, I will make it for you.
I see you have a new friend.
Sorry?
Oh, that girl back there?
Yes. That's why I don't stop and say hello.
I don't want to bother you. Making friends is good.
Looks like she's a good girl.
I hope. I only met him today.
Do you have a boyfriend at home, Jack?
Not.
Very? Why not?
I have no idea. I've never met a girl I really like.
I feel like girls my age are really immature.
How old are you, Jack?
Seventeen years.
Oh, but it won't be long, right?
Your father tell me. He says you will come to celebrate your birthday with him.
Is it true?
He told you about the last time we had my birthday together?
Pathetic.
Sorry Jack, made you sad again.
You don't sadden me, Maria. David is.
You always call your father by his name?
I really don't think of him like my father. He's the one who made me sick.
Always that bad between you two?
Well, he was never there for me.
So, who do you live with now?
I live with my uncle in America. Uncle Donald.
He's my mother's little brother.
He is more of a father to me than David.
I know you've probably heard this before, Jack.
But I really understand what you are going through.
I also had the same problem with my parents.
Parents can really mess up your life if they want to.
Do you have children, Maria?
Not. To some extent, I was glad I didn't have children.
I thought I was going to be a bad mother.
Yesterday, when I told you about my mom, you really looked sad.
Mind if I ask why?
Like I said before, Jack. I understand what you are going through.
You lost someone close to you?
Yes.
And like you, it's been a long time.
So I understand your pain.
It must be very difficult growing up without a mother.
Yes. It's even more difficult if you have a father who really doesn't care about you.
I've always felt like an orphan.
Oh, don't say that, Jack. I bet deep down your father loves you very much.
Well, if that was the case, he never showed it.
My life is very sad. Let's talk about other things.
Good.
So, how long have you lived in England?
About two years now.
And before that I lived in Germany for about three years.
Did you learn to speak English after you came?
Well, that's a funny story.
When I was young, I used to watch a lot of American movies.
That's how I learned to speak English.
This is a beautiful language.
Do you speak any other language, Jack?
Not really. I know a French word or two, that is.
I speak very good German, also a little Spanish.
Maybe later you can teach me some French?
I'll be happy.
Look at the clock. I better get back to work.
I don't want you to starve.
It's really good.
It may sound a little strange but I feel really comfortable talking to you.
Oh, thanks, Jack. It means a lot to me.
I'm always here for you.
Thank you.
I'm really happy with what you said earlier.
It's great talking to someone about your problem.
Usually I don't but, with you it's different.
Ah. I am here for you.
You can talk whatever you want.
I just wanted to show you something.
Your mother?
She's beautiful.
You are very similar to him.
Yes, maybe. But she's prettier than me.
You know, I've always wondered how my life would change if she were here now.
Yes, I know what you mean.
You're not like other teenagers, are you Jack?
I thought a lot, that's my problem.
It's really hard to meet kids my age to talk like adults.
Let's just talk about something else. Something that will keep you entertained.
I have no passion.
Don't be like that.
How about your birthday? Have you decided what to do?
I really don't like birthdays.
Why not? Everyone loves it.
This is the happiest celebration of our life, right?
Well, not mine.
Don't say that.
Are you so stupid?
Jack.
Just leave me alone, okay?
What's up, Jack?
I told you I don't want to celebrate my birthday.
So please don't ask again, okay?
I'm just trying to cheer you up.
I can't celebrate my birthday without feeling guilty.
I want to be happy, I want to. But what about me
I can be happy if it's also the day of my mother's death.
What should I do, say?
I'm sorry, Jack. Forgive me.
Every year I feel guilty when my birthday comes.
I always felt that I should mourn his death.
Oh, Jack.
I'm always depressed on my birthday.
I want to forget it.
I want to be happy but remembering my mother only makes me sadder.
I understand your sadness. I really understand.
I know how hard it is to lose someone so precious to you.
Is that your husband?
No, I never got married.
Sorry.
It is okay.
I don't like talking about it. It's something I prefer to keep to myself.
You're not comfortable telling me about it?
You know, you can trust me. I won't tell anyone.
I trust you, Jack.
It only hurts so much to remember the past, that's all.
Yeah.
Sometimes it's best not to remember bad things.
Yes, you are right.
But also, it's good to tell.
Yes, maybe.
It's been a long time.
I'm still your age.
Naive seventeen year old girl, thought I knew about the world, you know.
I met a boy.
And one thing leads to another.
And I ended up pregnant.
My boyfriend doesn't want me to keep the baby.
He told me to abort it.
But I didn't.
I try to keep this secret from my parents as long as I can.
When they found out, they were very angry.
My parents are very religious.
We live in a small town where everyone knows other people's business.
This is a big scandal.
What happened to the baby?
My parents are against abortion, so they let me have a baby.
The only thing they do right.
So you have a baby?
Yes.
A son. Two and a half pounds. She is small.
I still remember that day at the hospital.
They let me have the baby.
But they didn't let me take care of it.
They made me hand it over.
They made me give my lovely baby boy up for adoption.
I will never forgive my parents for what he did to me.
My father died a few years ago.
I didn't go to his funeral, because I still can't forgive him.
But I hate myself more for not keeping my son.
I hate myself for being a coward.
But this is something I have learned in life.
You know, my life isn't as perfect as they think.
I'm really sorry.
Well, I just blame myself.
Have you ever tried to find it?
No, I feel really guilty.
Wherever he is, I'm sure he will be fine.
Yes. Thank you.
We have something in common, don't we?
Yeah.
Maria?
Ah, there you are.
What's up, Jack?
Look, I'm sorry. I'm really busy working lately.
Why doesn't that surprise me, David? You know, you haven't changed at all.
Don't do that, son. I'm really trying, okay.
By the way, the problem is ...
I know you will hate me for this.
I have to go to Paris for a day.
I have a meeting with a new client and it's very important to meet him in person.
David's special feature. No time for family.
Do not worry. I'll fix it when I get back.
Like you did for the last seventeen years?
I don't even know why you came here.
Don't say that.
I've asked Maria to stay and look after you until I return.
Should that make me feel better?
No, I don't think so. But at least you will have friends.
Reason after reason.
Your dinner is ready.
IM not hungry. I'll eat later.
Are you still mad at your father?
Not. I'm mad at myself for coming here.
He's always like this?
As long as I can remember, yeah.
David has always been a workaholic. Work was always number one, family number two with him.
How about your stepmother?
He's the reason why I went to America.
Father married her a year after my mother's death.
And at first I grew up thinking she was my mom, you know.
Then my half brother Matthew was born and his behavior started to change to me.
I was left out. I got in trouble for everything he did.
I became nothing.
David wasn't around to find out. He is always very busy with work.
Too busy making money so my stepmother can spend it.
Now their marriage is over and everything seems so meaningless.
Just a waste of time.
When did you realize that she wasn't your real mother?
I'm about six years old.
Find a photo of my mom and David together,
and when I asked my stepmother about this ...
With great pleasure she told me that she was not my real mother.
Sorry, Jack.
No child should experience what you have.
Yeah, I hope so.
Maybe divorce isn't such a bad thing, you know.
Maybe you can start over with your dad.
I don't think that's possible.
Have you ever told him how you felt in those years?
- Not. - Maybe you should.
Maybe you should give your dad another chance.
- Do you think so? - Yes, of course.
Thanks, Maria. Thanks for all your advice.
You will be a great mother.
So what are you watching?
Nothing special.
I feel tired.
I don't like sports. Try another.
Ah, this looks interesting.
Maria?
Hai, Jacob.
I thought it was you.
How are you?
Good. What are you doing here?
Do not worry. I didn't follow you. I'm here to finish a story.
I'm here to finish a story.
Small world, right?
Nice to meet you.
Are you going to take me for coffee?
So, what have you been doing?
Nothing special. And you?
You know, normal.
I'm working on an article on a local wildlife reserve.
Interesting thing.
Someone has to do it, right?
So, how are you Jacob?
Very good.
I think.
So, is there a special person in your life right now?
Oh, Jacob.
Sorry, had to ask.
I'm not looking for anyone.
How about you?
Yeah.
I've been meeting someone for about two months now.
I'm happy for you.
After you left me, I wasted a lot of time ...
Trying to understand what I did wrong, you know.
You didn't do anything wrong, Jacob.
I'm just not ready to commit, that's all.
I don't plan to hurt you.
Well, you do.
I hope this really isn't my fault.
I shouldn't have started talking about marriage so quickly.
It's complicated.
I really didn't expect to fall in love with you so quickly.
I thought marriage would be a natural way to improve our relationship, you know.
Does that make sense?
This makes perfect sense.
I just, I have a lot of problems to solve first.
All the time I'm with you ...
I guess you've never really opened up to me emotionally, you know.
I hope you will end it.
But I was wrong.
It's not your fault, Jacob.
I'm still in love with you, Maria.
And I want you back.
Hear me.
We can start again.
Slowly this time.
We can only date if that's what you want.
And I'm not talking about marriage.
I don't know, Jacob.
Consider this, okay?
Good.
Please.
Well, I'm here for a week.
If you want to see me or just want to take a walk ...
Contact me.
Do you still have my cell phone number?
Yes.
I have a feeling that you won't call me.
And I'll never hear you again.
I don't know, Jacob. This may not be a good idea.
What about your boyfriend?
I don't feel the same as I do to you.
Just tell me you will consider this, okay?
We can still be friends right? I do not mind.
What do you think?
It's complicated.
I know.
Well...
Consider it.
Remember, I'm only a phone call away. Okay?
I will go.
Take care of yourself, Maria.
You too, Jacob.
Hi Jack, are you finally awake?
Yeah, I was awake a long time ago.
Good.
Who was the man I saw leave this house just now?
Oh, you mean Jacob?
Just an old friend. I met him on the street so I invited him for coffee.
Good.
Do you want to eat something or do you want to wait until lunch?
- I'll wait until lunch, thanks. - Okay, lunch will be ready soon.
Hey, Jack.
I don't want you to misunderstand.
But I want to say ...
Happy Birthday.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Where is my gift?
- Ah, Jack. I didn't bring you anything. - I'm just teasing you, Maria.
But honestly, if you give me something ...
I will not say no.
I will find it very special.
Ah, thanks, Jack.
If you were going to give me something, what would it be?
Oh, I don't know ...
Something you like, something you've always wanted. I have no idea.
It's still not too late, Jack.
Why don't you tell me what you want for your birthday and I'll give it to you.
You promise?
Yes I promise, so far it's not too expensive.
I want you, Maria.
What?
I want you.
Stop talking silly, Jack.
So you won't give me a present?
What do you mean, Jack?
I think you know what I mean.
I do not know.
I think you know.
I think I have to get back to work.
Don't ignore me, Maria.
You promised to give me what I want for my birthday.
Now I'll tell you what I want.
I want you.
You can't be serious, Jack.
I'm very serious, Maria.
We have something in common.
We have a connection.
I know you feel the way I feel.
Yes, we have a connection, Jack. I will not refuse.
What do you really want from me?
I want you.
I want to hug you.
I want to hold you.
I want to touch you.
This is wrong.
You shouldn't talk like this. You're still a kid.
I'm not a kid anymore.
Today I am a man.
And the problem is that we have a connection, nothing else.
That won't allow this, Jack.
I don't see you that way.
You're confusing our friendship.
I consider you a friend, Jack. A good friend. Only that.
So you're going to say that you feel nothing for me but friendship?
No, I don't.
Why don't you look into my eyes and say that?
You're just a friend to me, Jack.
No more.
You still love that man?
What are you talking about?
Do not pretend. I listen to you.
He wants you back, right?
That is none of your business.
Are you thinking of going back to him?
Jack, please stop. I can't go on with this anymore. Just stop.
You know what, Maria?
For the first time in my life, I thought I was
can feel a little happiness on my birthday.
I think I've found something special.
Someone who cares for me. But...
I am wrong.
You never care for me.
You're just like David.
- You're just pretending. - I care for you, Jack.
It's just not that way.
No problem. Deep in my heart I know it's too good to be true.
I didn't mean to make that impression, Jack. I'm just trying to be friendly.
No, you're lying.
I know you like me. I know you feel the same way as me.
- I do not. - I love you, Maria.
I love you more than the man will ever do.
You don't love me, Jack.
You only miss your mother.
I'm not your mother, Jack. I can never replace him.
Why not?
You give your son.
And you live with guilt.
Always wondering what it would be like to live close to him.
Hold it.
Hug him.
Touch it.
Kiss it.
Feel it.
Hi. I'm looking for Jack.
Hi Jack. I think we can go for a walk today.
Yeah, sure. I do need to get out of this place.
You are okay?
Jack?
Yeah.
There is something wrong?
Nothing.
How did you find me?
I followed you that day.
Are you stalking me?
You want me to do it?
You don't have a boyfriend?
Not.
Do you want to be my boyfriend?
Today is my birthday.
Really? Happy birthday, Jack.
First time in my life, I really wanted something
for my birthday but I can't get it.
Oh, yes? What do you want, Jack? Maybe I can give it to you.
No, you can't give this to me.
Really? Are you sure? Maybe I can.
You want to come back to my house? My parents are not home right now.
I can not.
You're such a really nice girl, but I like other people.
Sorry if I gave the wrong impression.
Who is he
Your ex-boyfriend? Someone in America?
Complicated. I have to go.
Where are you going? Jack?
What are you doing here, Jack? Where is your friend?
Why are you crying?
- I'm not crying. - Stop lying, Maria.
Why are you still here?
If we're just friends why don't you just stop and go, huh?
What I feel for you is more than friends.
I care about you.
I want to take care of you.
I love you.
Oh, don't say that, Jack.
What do you want from me?
Love me, Maria. Love me like your son
Come here.
Stop it, Jack.
Don't stop me, Maria. I love this feeling.
This is wrong, Jack.
For me this is not wrong.
Can I kiss her?
Stop it?
Are you happy now?
Sorry.
What is happening between us now is a very special time in my life.
You don't like what I did earlier?
I can do better with practice.
Am I too harsh?
I didn't hurt you, right?
No, you didn't hurt me.
There is no future between us you know that right?
Please don't say that.
We have a special connection.
Is age the only thing that separates us?
Is that it?
Have you dated before?
Have you ever made love before?
Are you still a virgin?
I didn't mean to embarrass you.
I've always had a hard time connecting with girls emotionally.
Always.
Until now.
You're the first woman I feel comfortable with.
You're the woman I've been waiting for all my life.
Don't say that, Jack.
You're so young and I'm much older.
Why do you always talk about age? It's just a number.
Maybe...
You might leave me.
Like you did to your son.
Why are you talking so mean like that?
Maybe this is true.
Maybe you always leave the people you love.
You left your boyfriend, right?
- I'm not like that, Jack. - Yes, you.
I love you.
And you will leave me.
Maybe I should go and die somewhere.
Cut off my arm or hang myself. Maybe it will make you happy.
- Why are you talking like this? - I can't live without you, Maria.
If you leave me ...
I'm going to kill myself.
I'll never leave you, Jack.
I don't believe you.
You have to believe if I say I'll never leave you.
You promise?
I promise.
Show me if you're serious.
Show me if you love me.
You are okay?
Yes, I am doing okay.
Your dad will be home in a bit.
Who cares?
Are you going to stay mad at him forever?
Why not? He deserves it.
You have to find a way to get rid of your anger and move on with your life.
That's easier said than done.
We can't change the past, Jack.
But you have a chance to fix things up with your father and start again.
I don't want you to end up like me.
I have no idea. I'm so mad at him.
I know.
But he's trying hard to change.
So give him a chance.
I've given you lots of opportunities. He threw everything away.
But you haven't told him how you feel in all those years, have you?
Or do you just think he knows and doesn't care?
At least you sit down and talk to him ...
Tell him how you feel and why ...
Then you'll never be happy, Jack. You will never be happy.
I don't want you to make the same mistakes as me.
You're still young. You still have time to heal.
Promise me that you will try hard to
fix everything with your dad before you leave.
Promise me.
Okay, I promise.
Hello?
- There you are, you two. - Hi David. How was your trip?
Alright thank you.
Hai, Jack.
Happy Birthday.
Well, I brought you a present.
Come on, kid. Take it.
Well, I hope you don't give Maria a hard time when I'm away.
He's a good boy.
Ah, great. Look, why don't I take you out to dinner tonight?
Why don't we all go?
- Oh, I don't know. I don't wanna eat dinner out. - I'm not interested, thanks.
Come on, kid. It's your birthday.
No, thank you.
- Come on. - I said no, didn't I?
I'm trying my best here, but it doesn't seem like enough.
Let me talk to him, David.
All right, sure.
You are okay?
I don't want to go out to dinner with him?
It won't hurt if you do.
I know but, I want him to suffer.
I will not make it easy for him.
He thought he could fix all those years in just one day?
You can't live in the past, Jack. You have to move on.
I'm here for you now.
You have to take it off.
Give him another chance.
For me.
But I would rather have dinner with you than with him.
I thought we could be together tonight.
You have to be mature, Jack.
You know deep down inside, this is the right thing to do.
But, I really want to spend the night with you.
I want to have sex with you.
I know. And you will.
We can be together tomorrow night.
But tonight, you will spend it with your father.
See you tomorrow.
And good luck.
Oh hello.
It was unthinkable that you would come down.
Sit down.
I'll get you a glass.
Please.
Happy birthday, son.
Hey, slow down.
Oh, my gosh. Add more?
You want to slow down, son?
Why are you in a hurry?
We still have the whole night ahead of us.
I feel like you're going to say something to me, right?
You're absolutely right.
All right, say it.
You bastard, David.
Oh, so you think your dad is a jerk, huh?
Yeah, I think.
You are an ignorant bastard.
- I don't care, really? - Yeah, you.
And let's not forget about being selfish.
And selfish?
Anything else you want to mention? You might too.
You are a selfish, uncaring, unloving bastard.
All you think about is yourself.
I'm so glad your marriage to Linda is ending.
I hope you die a lonely old man.
Now, that hurts a lot, son.
You think I'm selfish, I only care about myself?
You think I don't care about you, that I never care about your mother?
Don't bring my mom here. You never loved him.
That's your fault, Jack.
Before she was your mother, she was my wife.
And I love him.
That's a lie. You never love him.
I love her, Jack. I really love him.
So much so that you can't wait to get married again.
- I just did it for you. - It is a lie.
No, no. That's the truth. I don't want you to grow up without a mother.
That's the only reason I remarried so quickly.
I just want you to have a normal life, that's all.
I've always loved you and Matthew the same.
It is a lie. Mathew has always been your favorite.
I've always been invisible to you.
No, that's not true. I've always looked at you and Mathew the same.
No you don't.
You always blame me for his death.
Wait. Is that what you think?
I never blamed you for your mother's death. I never.
Look, I don't know why this happened.
Maybe it's destiny, or bad luck, I don't know.
Sometimes bad things happen to good people. Your mother is a very kind woman.
Always helping others in their own way.
I'm still thinking about it, you know.
I think about him all the time.
I only know him through photos.
So sad.
No memories to hold on to.
I'm sorry it got you this way, Jack.
We can't return it. You have to try to let it go.
I will never forget it.
Look, I know I'm not a good father to you, Jack.
And I'm sorry for that, earnestly.
I want a way to make up with you.
If you will. Will you do it?
I don't know, David.
It's a little too late, don't you think?
It is never too late for a man to change.
So, you're saying that you deserve another chance, huh?
Yes, I'm worthy.
I will make you proud of me one day.
Wonderful dream, son.
You are okay?
Yes, I'm fine. How did it go with your father?
Not what I expected. Lots to consider.
I am happy to carry out your advice. Thank you.
No problem. I'm happy for you.
- Your father at home? - You're not going there today.
Why not? There is something wrong?
I just want to spend this whole day with you, that's all.
Jack, indeed. Later, tonight.
Look, I'm leaving tomorrow and I'm not taking any chances.
Knowing my bad luck, something can pop up and mess things up.
Please, Maria. Let's go back to your place. Please.
I want to spend a whole day with you. Please.
How about your dad? He will find me.
He will be fine. Tell him something happened. Please.
I don't know why but I'm really nervous.
I also.
Like there are butterflies in my stomach.
This doesn't feel real. Feels like a dream.
Don't say that, Jack.
I'm not a dream. I'm real.
I don't want you to remember this day as a fantasy.
I'm here because I want to be here, with you.
You are okay? I hurt you?
Not. No, this isn't you.
You know, we don't have to do this.
I will be fine. Give me a minute.
I have something to say to you.
Something that I never told anyone.
This is always with me.
Gnawing inside me.
Good.
I'm not being really honest with you.
Good.
What I have said about my son is not true.
I gave him up for adoption.
You used to ask me if I tried to find him.
Well, I lied to you when I said no.
After I left the house, I tried hard to find it.
He will already be five years old.
I was already planning to find my son, my precious little baby boy.
What happened?
I found out that he was already killed ...
In a hit-and-run accident ...
When he's playing outside.
He bled to death on the streets before anyone could help him.
I am sorry.
This is all my fault.
I've killed him.
You didn't kill him, Maria. This is not your fault.
This is my fault.
If only I had found him sooner.
I can save his life. He's probably still here today.
Have they found the culprit?
Yes.
They imprisoned him.
But nothing can bring back my son.
You can't keep blaming yourself for what happened.
This happened, okay?
I realized that sometimes bad things will happen in life ...
No reason, no sense ...
We just have to accept and move on, I guess.
But I can't.
I'm still imagining it, lying there on the street ...
Bloody, sick, alone ...
And I wasn't there with him.
The image keeps appearing again and again in my head every day.
I don't know what to say to heal you, but ...
Meeting you, together with you ...
This really helps me
dealing with what's been in my head all these years.
Make love to me.
Make love to me, Jack.
I'm doing it right?
It is okay. Just keep up with what you were doing.
I will arrive.
It is okay. It is okay.
I arrived ...
I haven't felt this way in a long time.
Really?
Yes.
I've had some serious relationships but ...
I always run away when they talk about marriage and having children.
That's what happened with Jacob.
Are you still in love with him?
I still have feelings for him but, I don't think about going back to him.
She wants to get married and I don't think I'm ready for that.
You know you can't live like this forever.
I actually thought your troubles would make you a better mother.
Is it true?
Yeah, that's right.
Because you really know how precious a child's life is.
You will love him with all your heart.
You will try to be the most extraordinary mother a child can hope for.
Something that I have never experienced in my life.
A mother's true love.
I wish I was your son.
I wish I had all the love from you.
I love you.
I love you more.
Are you all right, son? I haven't seen you all day.
Yeah, I'm in town.
I've ordered you a taxi for tomorrow. Will be here around nine o'clock.
Thank you.
Are you feeling all right?
What do you mean?
This is the first time you've calmed down.
I like.
Listen, what did we talk about last night ...
I don't know how much you remember before you fell asleep ...
What do you have to say, David?
I take every word counts.
I know I'm not a good father to you and ...
There are many misunderstandings between us ...
And I want to try to fix it ...
If you want to give me that chance.
Are you done?
Yeah, that's all I wanna say.
I will consider it.
Jack, come on. The taxi has arrived. Give me your bag.
I thought I wouldn't see you before I left.
Do not worry. I won't let you go before saying goodbye.
I will miss you.
You will come and visit me in America?
Oh, I don't know.
I don't wanna promise anything. I'll see.
Good. Thanks for everything, Maria.
Take care of yourself, my dear.
What are you doing there, Jack? Taxi is waiting. Let's go.
Listen, I hope your journey home is safe and ...
Tell Donald that this isn't a bad idea after all.
Good luck, son.
