00:05:20Who's that?
00:05:21Oh, you two haven't met yet, have you?
00:05:23That's Maria.
00:05:24Since I've been single again, I need somebody to look after me.
00:05:29I hired her to help with the housework, cooking, cleaning, all that sort of thing.
00:05:34She's here a few hours every day. If you want anything, she's the one to ask.
00:05:39Yeah, and I know what you're thinking.
00:05:41She is a very beautiful lady, which is one of the main reasons I hired her.
00:05:46It's good to have a beautiful face around the place again.
00:05:50And she's a very good cook.
00:05:53This is my son, Jack.
00:05:55It's nice to meet you, Jack.
00:05:58Did you have a good rest?
00:06:02He doesn't say much, does he?
00:06:03He's just a bit shy.
00:06:05Oh, I'm sure he'll be fine, David.
00:06:08Look, Jack, I'm sorry. I've got a meeting at one and it's going to be a few hours.
00:06:13So I'll leave you in Maria's capable hands.
00:06:15Yeah, if that's all right with you.
00:06:17It will be my pleasure.
00:06:21See you later, Jack.
00:06:24It's hot today, isn't it?
00:06:26Can I get you a drink?
00:06:27Yeah, sure.
00:06:28Okay, I'll just be a minute.
00:07:02Here you go.
00:07:03Thanks.
00:07:09So how long are you planning to stay?
00:07:10Only a few days.
00:07:12Oh, that's too bad.
00:07:15Not really.
00:07:15Why not?
00:07:17David and I were not exactly close.
00:07:19Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, Jack.
00:07:22You must be very close to your mom then.
00:07:26Why would you say something like that to me?
00:07:28For fuck's sake!
00:07:38Jack, I'm sorry if I said something to offend you.
00:07:41Why did you say it?
00:07:42I don't know.
00:07:43I just presumed you were close to your mom.
00:07:45That's all.
00:07:45Are you telling me David never told you?
00:07:49He told me he was divorced, but that's it.
00:07:52It's typical of David.
00:07:52He never even speaks about her.
00:07:56Do you live with your mom?
00:07:58No.
00:08:00She's not around.
00:08:01Excuse me.
00:08:03I don't know.
00:08:04I don't know.
00:08:06I don't know.
00:08:16I don't know.
00:09:20I'm going home now.
00:09:22I've left your dinner in the oven.
00:09:25Okay, see you tomorrow.
00:09:27Sorry.
00:09:30For snapping at you earlier.
00:09:33It's not your fault.
00:09:35It's okay.
00:09:37It's my fault really.
00:09:38No, it's not.
00:09:40My life's very complicated.
00:09:43Isn't everyone's?
00:09:53When you said your mum wasn't around anymore, what did you mean?
00:09:57Where is she?
00:09:58She died.
00:10:00I'm so sorry.
00:10:02It's okay.
00:10:03It was a very long time ago.
00:10:08But I thought your parents were only recently divorced.
00:10:12Yeah, like I said, my life's very complicated.
00:10:27Are you okay?
00:10:29Yeah, I'm cool, thanks.
00:10:34When did your mum pass away?
00:10:37A very long time ago.
00:10:40Was it after your parents divorced?
00:10:43No.
00:10:44The divorce thing, that's Linda, my stepmom.
00:10:47They got divorced last year.
00:10:50Oh.
00:10:50Does that make sense now?
00:10:54I hate Linda.
00:10:55She's a nasty piece of work.
00:10:57How old were you when your mum passed away?
00:11:01I was, uh, just a baby.
00:11:04She was just a baby.
00:11:07She died at childbirth.
00:11:10She died giving birth to me.
00:11:14I wish I could remember something about her, but I can't.
00:11:17That's not your fault, Jack.
00:11:19You were just a baby.
00:11:20I feel responsible for her death, you know.
00:11:24I always have.
00:11:26I killed her.
00:11:27Don't say that, Jack.
00:11:37You okay?
00:11:38Oui.
00:11:39I'm fine.
00:11:42It's getting late, I should go.
00:11:56Jack?
00:11:58Are you in there?
00:11:59Can I come in?
00:12:00Go away, David.
00:12:01I'm sleeping.
00:12:02I thought we could go out for dinner tonight.
00:12:04There's a nice restaurant in town.
00:12:07What do you say?
00:12:08I'm not fucking hungry, and I'm not fucking interested.
00:12:11So fucking leave me alone, all right?
00:12:12Okay, Jack, if you want to be miserable and stay in here early, go ahead.
00:12:16I don't care.
00:12:17You're not a little boy anymore.
00:12:19You're a man now, so act like one.
00:12:22I'm a man, am I?
00:12:24Fucking leave me alone, all right?
00:12:33I'm a man now for you, David.
00:12:46Hi.
00:12:47I haven't seen you around here before.
00:12:50Are you new here?
00:12:51I'm here on holiday.
00:12:52Your accent.
00:12:54You're from America, right?
00:12:55Uh, yeah.
00:12:57I'm Becky.
00:13:00Jack.
00:13:04Are you here with your family?
00:13:07No.
00:13:09With your girlfriend?
00:13:11No.
00:13:12Good.
00:13:14How long are you here for?
00:13:15Only a few days.
00:13:18Oh, that's not fair.
00:13:21Do you want to hang out?
00:13:24Uh, I don't know.
00:13:25I have a few things to do.
00:13:30Who is that?
00:13:32A friend.
00:13:34Um, you want to get a drink?
00:13:37I'm sorry.
00:13:38I can't.
00:13:38I have to get back, actually.
00:13:41Uh, can we meet again?
00:13:43Sure.
00:13:44Whatever.
00:13:45Whatever.
00:13:45I go, I get back, all right?
00:13:50I'm sorry.
00:13:50I'm sorry.
00:13:56I'm sorry.
00:14:02I'm sorry.
00:14:51Hey, Jack, you're back so soon?
00:14:53Well, yeah, there isn't much to do around here.
00:14:56Just took a few pictures, that's all.
00:14:59I'm thirsty. Can I get a drink?
00:15:00Oh, wait, let me get it for you.
00:15:03I see you made a new friend.
00:15:05Sorry? Oh, that girl back there.
00:15:08Oui, that's why I didn't stop and say hello.
00:15:10I didn't want to disturb you.
00:15:12It's good to make friends.
00:15:14She looks like a nice girl.
00:15:16Yeah, I suppose.
00:15:17I just met her today.
00:15:22You have a girlfriend at home, Jack?
00:15:24No.
00:15:25Really? Why not?
00:15:27I don't know.
00:15:28I just never met a girl I really like.
00:15:30I find girls my age really immature.
00:15:32How old are you, Jack?
00:15:3417.
00:15:35Oh, but not for long, no?
00:15:38Your dad told me he said you might be coming to spend your birthday with him.
00:15:42Did he really?
00:15:43Well, did he tell you about the last time we spent my birthday together?
00:15:46He's such an asshole.
00:16:07I'm sorry, Jack.
00:16:09For upsetting you again.
00:16:11You didn't upset me, Maria.
00:16:14David did.
00:16:18Do you always call your dad by his name?
00:16:21I don't really consider him as my dad.
00:16:23He's more of a pain in the ass.
00:16:26Has it always been that bad between you two?
00:16:29Well, he's never there for me.
00:16:33So who do you live with right now?
00:16:35I live with my uncle in the U.S., Uncle Donald.
00:16:38He's my mom's younger brother.
00:16:41He's been more of a father to me than David ever has.
00:16:48I know you have probably heard this before, Jack.
00:16:53But I really do understand what you're going through.
00:16:58I had my fair share of problems going up with my parents.
00:17:03Parents can really mess up your life if they want to.
00:17:08You have any kids, Maria?
00:17:12No.
00:17:15No, in some way, I'm glad I don't have any children.
00:17:19I think I would make a bad mother.
00:17:21Yesterday, when I told you about my mom,
00:17:25you look really upset.
00:17:28Do you mind if I ask you why?
00:17:32It's like I said before, Jack.
00:17:34I know what you're going through.
00:17:37Did you lose someone close to you?
00:17:41Oui.
00:17:44And like you, it was a long time ago.
00:17:48So I understand your pain.
00:17:52It must have been so hard growing up without a mother.
00:17:56Yeah.
00:17:57And it's even harder when you have a dad who doesn't really care about you.
00:18:02I've always felt like an orphan.
00:18:04Oh, don't say that, Jack.
00:18:07I'm sure, deep down, your dad loves you very much.
00:18:14Well, if he did, he never showed it.
00:18:18My life's just too depressing.
00:18:19Let's talk about something else.
00:18:21Okay.
00:18:23So, how long have you lived in England for?
00:18:26About two years now.
00:18:29And before I lived here, I lived in Germany for about three years.
00:18:33Did you learn to speak English after you came over?
00:18:37Well, that's a funny story.
00:18:40When I was younger, I used to watch a lot of American movies, you know?
00:18:44And that's really when I learned to speak English.
00:18:46English is such a beautiful language.
00:18:50Do you speak any other languages, Jack?
00:18:53Not really.
00:18:54I know one or two French words.
00:18:55That's about it.
00:18:57I speak very good German and a little bit of Spanish also.
00:19:01Well, maybe you can teach me some French sometime.
00:19:04Je d'orerai.
00:19:07I said I'd love to.
00:19:13Look at the time.
00:19:14I'd better get back to what I was doing.
00:19:16Don't want you going hungry.
00:19:18Merci.
00:19:19Oh, très bien.
00:19:35It's very nice.
00:19:37Merci beaucoup.
00:19:39Merci.
00:19:48This might sound a bit strange, but I really feel comfortable talking to you.
00:19:53Oh, thank you, Jack.
00:19:55That means a lot to me.
00:19:59I'm always here for you.
00:20:09I'm always here for you.
00:20:16Thanks.
00:20:22I'm very glad about what you told me earlier.
00:20:26It's good to talk to someone about your problems.
00:20:29Normally I don't, but with you it's different.
00:20:34I'm here for you.
00:20:36You can talk to me about anything you want.
00:20:39I want to show you something.
00:20:51Your mum?
00:20:54She's beautiful.
00:20:56You look a lot like her.
00:21:00Oui, maybe, but she's more beautiful than me.
00:21:08I always wonder how my life would have turned out if she'd have been here right now, you know?
00:21:14Oui.
00:21:14I know what you mean.
00:21:20You're not like other teenagers, are you, Jack?
00:21:23I think too much.
00:21:24That's my problem.
00:21:25I find it's really hard to find a person my age to have a decent conversation with.
00:21:35Let's talk about something else.
00:21:37Something that will cheer you up.
00:21:39I'm not in the mood.
00:21:40Oh, don't say that.
00:21:42How about your birthday?
00:21:43Have you decided what you're going to do yet?
00:21:45I really, really don't like birthdays.
00:21:47Why not?
00:21:48Everyone likes birthdays.
00:21:50It's the happiest occasion of our lives, isn't it?
00:21:53Yeah, well, not in mine.
00:21:54Don't say that.
00:21:55Are you that fucking dumb?
00:21:58Jacques!
00:21:59Just fucking leave me alone, okay?
00:22:22I was just trying to cheer you up.
00:22:30I can't celebrate my birthday without feeling guilty.
00:22:34I want to be happy, I do.
00:22:36But how can I be happy when it's also the day that my mom died?
00:22:40What am I supposed to do?
00:22:41Tell me.
00:22:43I'm sorry, Jack.
00:22:44Forgive me.
00:22:46Every year I feel guilty when my birthday comes around.
00:22:50I always feel like I should just be mourning her death.
00:22:55Oh, Jacques.
00:22:58I always get depressed around my birthdays.
00:23:02I want to forget it.
00:23:04I want to be happy, but thinking about my mom, it just makes me more depressed.
00:23:08I understand your pain.
00:23:10I really do.
00:23:14I know how hard it is to lose someone so precious to you.
00:23:21Was it your husband?
00:23:23No.
00:23:24You've never been married.
00:23:28Sorry I said that.
00:23:29It's okay.
00:23:31I don't like to talk about it.
00:23:33It's just something I prefer to keep to myself.
00:23:38But don't you feel comfortable telling me?
00:23:41You can trust me, you know.
00:23:42I won't tell anyone.
00:23:43I do trust you, Jacques.
00:23:48It's just too painful to think about the past, that's all.
00:23:52Yeah.
00:23:54Sometimes it's best not to remember the bad things.
00:23:58Oui.
00:23:59You're right.
00:24:13But at the same time, you know, it's good to talk about them.
00:24:17Oui, maybe.
00:24:25It was a long time ago.
00:24:29It was about your age.
00:24:31A naive 16-year-old girl.
00:24:34Thinking I knew the world, you know?
00:24:38I was seeing this boy.
00:24:41And one thing led to another.
00:24:44And I ended up getting pregnant.
00:24:48My boyfriend didn't want me to keep the baby.
00:24:52He told me to get rid of it.
00:24:57But I couldn't do it.
00:25:01I tried to keep it a secret from my parents for as long as I could.
00:25:06When I found out, they went crazy.
00:25:10My parents are a bit religious.
00:25:13We come from a small town where everyone knows everyone's business.
00:25:20It was the scandal of the century.
00:25:24What happened to the baby?
00:25:28My parents were against abortion.
00:25:31So they let me have the baby.
00:25:35That's the only thing they did right.
00:25:39So you had the baby then?
00:25:42Oui.
00:25:44It was a boy.
00:25:47Two and a half kilos.
00:25:49He was such a tiny little thing.
00:25:53I still remember that day in the hospital.
00:26:03They let me have the baby.
00:26:07But they wouldn't let me keep him.
00:26:12They made me give him away.
00:26:15They made me give up my beautiful little baby boy for adoption.
00:26:29I have never forgiven my parents for what they made me do.
00:26:41My father passed away a few years ago.
00:26:44I didn't go to his funeral.
00:26:47Because I still couldn't forgive him.
00:26:58But I hate myself more.
00:27:03If I'm not standing up for my son.
00:27:10I hate myself for being a coward.
00:27:20But it's just something I've learned to live with.
00:27:28My life isn't as perfect as people think it is, you know.
00:27:37I'm so sorry.
00:27:42Well, I have only myself to blame.
00:27:50Did you ever try to find him?
00:27:53No.
00:27:54No, I felt too guilty.
00:28:12Where ever he is, I'm sure he's fine.
00:28:19Oui.
00:28:27We have something in common, haven't we?
00:28:30Yeah.
00:28:35Hurry up!
00:28:40Oh, there you are.
00:28:42Un petit mot.
00:28:44People have a crisis home.
00:28:46I've got a very strong streak.
00:28:47You watch home.
00:28:48I've got to get away from her.
00:28:49I've got to get back.
00:28:50Are you sure?
00:28:52Oh, thank you.
00:28:56How are you, Jack?
00:29:04Look, I'm sorry.
00:29:05I've been really busy at work recently.
00:29:07Why doesn't that surprise me, David?
00:29:09You know, you haven't changed at all.
00:29:12Don't be like that, son.
00:29:13I'm really trying, all right?
00:29:16Anyway, the thing is...
00:29:20I know you're going to hate me for this.
00:29:24I have to go to Paris for a day.
00:29:29I have a meeting with a possible new client,
00:29:31and it is really important that I meet him in person.
00:29:35Typical David.
00:29:36No time for family.
00:29:38Well, don't worry.
00:29:40I'll make it up to you when I get back.
00:29:42Like you've been making it up for the past 17 years?
00:29:44You know, I don't even know why I came here in the first place.
00:29:47Don't say that.
00:29:52I've asked Maria to stay over and keep an eye on you until I get back.
00:29:58That's supposed to make me feel better?
00:29:59No, I suppose not.
00:30:01But at least you'll have some company.
00:30:05Excuses after excuses.
00:30:08Excuses.
00:30:22Your dinner is ready.
00:30:23I'm not hungry.
00:30:24I'll eat it later.
00:30:31Are you still angry at your dad?
00:30:33No.
00:30:34I'm mad at myself for coming here.
00:30:40Has he always been like this?
00:30:42Ever since I can remember, yeah.
00:30:44David's always been a workaholic.
00:30:46So I was work first, family second with him.
00:30:50How about your stepmother?
00:30:52She was the reason why I went to go and live in the States.
00:30:56Dad married her a year after my mom died.
00:30:59And at first I grew up thinking she was my mom, you know.
00:31:02But then my stepbrother, Matthew, came along.
00:31:07And her attitude just started changing towards me.
00:31:11I got pushed to the side.
00:31:12I got into trouble for all the things he did.
00:31:15And I became a nobody.
00:31:18David wasn't around on notice.
00:31:20David was always too busy with work.
00:31:21Too busy making money so my stepmom could spend it.
00:31:28Now the marriage is over and everything feels so pointless.
00:31:33Total waste of time.
00:31:37When did you realize she was not your real mother?
00:31:40I was about six.
00:31:42I found a photo of my mom and David together.
00:31:44And when I asked my stepmom about it,
00:31:46she was only too glad to tell me that she wasn't my real mom.
00:31:52I'm sorry, Jacques.
00:31:56No child should go through what you have been through.
00:31:59Yeah.
00:32:00I suppose so.
00:32:04Maybe the divorce is not such a bad thing, you know.
00:32:09Maybe you can start again fresh with your dad.
00:32:11I don't think that's possible.
00:32:13Have you ever told him how you felt all these years?
00:32:16No.
00:32:16Well, maybe you should.
00:32:18Maybe you should give your dad another chance.
00:32:23Do you think so?
00:32:24My way, of course.
00:32:30Thanks, Maria.
00:32:32Thanks for all your advice.
00:32:35You would have made a great mom.
00:32:42So, uh, what are you watching?
00:32:45Nothing special.
00:32:48I feel tired.
00:32:51I don't like spots.
00:32:52Try the next one.
00:32:54Oh, this looks interesting.
00:32:57Interesting.
00:35:01Maria?
00:35:04Hi.
00:35:05Jacob.
00:35:07I thought it was you.
00:35:09How are you doing?
00:35:11I'm fine.
00:35:12What are you doing here?
00:35:14Don't worry, I'm not following you.
00:35:17I'm here covering a story.
00:35:19Small world, huh?
00:35:23It's good to see you.
00:35:28You're going to invite me in for a coffee?
00:35:36So, what have you been up to?
00:35:37Yeah.
00:35:39Nothing special.
00:35:41And you?
00:35:43You know, the usual.
00:35:45I've been doing an article about the local wildlife reserve.
00:35:49Riveting stuff.
00:35:51Someone's got to do it right.
00:35:55So, how have you been, Jacob?
00:36:00Pretty good.
00:36:02Considering.
00:36:03Considering.
00:36:07So, is there someone special in your life at the moment?
00:36:11Oh, Jacob.
00:36:12Sorry.
00:36:14Hard to ask.
00:36:16I'm not seeing anyone.
00:36:19And you?
00:36:22Yeah.
00:36:24I've been seeing someone for about two months now.
00:36:30I'm happy for you.
00:36:31Yeah.
00:36:32Yeah.
00:36:32Well.
00:36:33After you left me.
00:36:34I spent a lot of time.
00:36:37Trying to figure out what it is I did wrong, you know?
00:36:40You didn't do anything wrong, Jacob.
00:36:43I just wasn't ready for commitment.
00:36:46That's all.
00:36:49I didn't set out to ask you.
00:36:52Well.
00:36:54You did.
00:36:56I suppose it was my own fault, really.
00:36:58I shouldn't have started talking about marriage so soon.
00:37:04It's complicated.
00:37:06It's just that I didn't expect to fall in love with you so quickly.
00:37:12I thought marriage would be the natural way forward for our relationship, you know?
00:37:21Does that make sense?
00:37:24It makes perfect sense.
00:37:27I just...
00:37:30I have a lot of issues to sort out first.
00:37:34All the time I was with you, I felt you never really opened up to me emotionally, you know?
00:37:43I was hoping you would.
00:37:45Over time.
00:37:49But I was wrong.
00:37:52That's not your fault, Jacob.
00:37:59I...
00:38:00I'm still in love with you, Maria.
00:38:05And I want you back.
00:38:06Please, Jacob.
00:38:06Just hear me out.
00:38:11We can start all over again.
00:38:15Take it a lot slower this time.
00:38:20We can...
00:38:21Just date if that's what you want.
00:38:25And...
00:38:26I won't talk about marriage.
00:38:30I don't know, Jacob.
00:38:34Just think about it, okay?
00:38:37Okay.
00:38:39Please.
00:38:50Well, I'm here for a week.
00:38:53If you want to see me or just want to hang out, give me a call.
00:39:02Do you still have my number?
00:39:06Yes.
00:39:09Something tells me you're not going to call it.
00:39:13And that...
00:39:15I'll never hear from you again.
00:39:17I don't know, Jacob.
00:39:19It's probably not a good idea.
00:39:23How about your girlfriend?
00:39:29I don't feel the same for her as I do for you.
00:39:39Just...
00:39:39Tell me you'll think about it.
00:39:42Okay?
00:39:48We can still be friends, right?
00:39:51I'm okay with that.
00:39:59What's going on in that head of yours?
00:40:03It's complicated.
00:40:08I know.
00:40:14Well...
00:40:17I'll leave you to it.
00:40:20Just remember...
00:40:21Just remember...
00:40:22I'm only a phone call away.
00:40:27Okay?
00:40:37I'll see myself out.
00:40:44Take care, Maria.
00:40:47You too, Jacob.
00:41:19Hey, Jack.
00:41:20You finally up?
00:41:21Yeah, I was up a long time ago.
00:41:22Okay.
00:41:25Who's that guy I saw leaving the house earlier?
00:41:27Oh, you mean Jacob?
00:41:29He's just an old friend.
00:41:30I bumped into him on the street, so I invited him back for coffee.
00:41:34Okay.
00:41:36You want to eat something?
00:41:37Or you want to wait until lunch?
00:41:39I'll wait until lunch, thanks.
00:41:41Okay, lunch will be ready soon.
00:41:44Hey, Jack?
00:41:47I don't want you to take this the wrong way.
00:41:51But I want to say...
00:41:53Happy birthday.
00:41:57You're welcome.
00:42:00Where's my present?
00:42:03Oh, Jack.
00:42:04I didn't get you anything.
00:42:06I'm just teasing you, Maria.
00:42:07Yeah.
00:42:09But to tell you the truth, if you did get me something, I wouldn't have said no.
00:42:14I'd consider it very special.
00:42:16Oh, thank you, Jack.
00:42:18If you were to get me something, what would it be?
00:42:21Oh, I don't know.
00:42:24Uh...
00:42:24Something you like?
00:42:25Something you always wanted?
00:42:27I don't know.
00:42:29It's still not too late, Jack.
00:42:31Why don't you tell me what you want for your birthday and I'll get it for you?
00:42:34You promise?
00:42:35Oui, I promise.
00:42:36As long as it's not too expensive.
00:42:38I want you, Maria.
00:42:39What?
00:42:41I want you.
00:42:44Stop saying silly things, Jack.
00:43:04So, are you going to get me my present?
00:43:07What do you mean, Jack?
00:43:09I think you know what I mean.
00:43:11I don't.
00:43:12I think you do.
00:43:15I think I should get back to what I was doing.
00:43:17Don't ignore me, Maria.
00:43:20You promised me you'd get me what I want for my birthday.
00:43:24Well, now I'm telling you what I want.
00:43:28I want you.
00:43:31You cannot be serious, Jack.
00:43:33Be very serious, Maria.
00:43:35We have something in common.
00:43:38We have a connection.
00:43:41I know you feel it like I do.
00:43:42We have a connection, Jack.
00:43:44I won't deny that.
00:43:46What exactly do you want from me?
00:43:48I want you.
00:43:52I want to hug you.
00:43:55I want to hold you.
00:43:58I want to touch you.
00:44:01This is wrong.
00:44:03You shouldn't be talking like this.
00:44:05You're just a kid.
00:44:06I'm not a kid anymore.
00:44:09Today I'm a man.
00:44:11And what matters is that we have a connection, nothing else.
00:44:15That doesn't make it right, Jack.
00:44:18I don't see you in that way.
00:44:24You're confusing my friendship for something else.
00:44:28I see you as a friend, Jack.
00:44:30A good friend.
00:44:32But that's all.
00:44:35So you're saying you don't feel anything for me other than friendship?
00:44:40No.
00:44:41I don't.
00:44:42Why don't you look me in the eyes and tell me that?
00:44:47He was just a friend to me, Jack.
00:44:50Nothing more.
00:45:00You still in love with that guy?
00:45:06What are you talking about?
00:45:08Don't play innocent with me, Maria.
00:45:09I heard you guys talking.
00:45:12He wants you back, doesn't he?
00:45:15That's none of your business.
00:45:17You're thinking about going back to him, aren't you?
00:45:19Jack, stop this.
00:45:21Please, I can't answer this anymore.
00:45:22Just stop.
00:45:23You know what, Maria?
00:45:26For the first time in my life,
00:45:27I thought I could feel a bit of happiness on my birthday.
00:45:31I thought I found something special.
00:45:36Someone who...
00:45:37Who would care about me.
00:45:42But...
00:45:44I was wrong.
00:45:48You never cared about me.
00:45:51You're just like David.
00:45:54You're just pretending.
00:45:56I do care about you, Jack.
00:45:59Just...
00:46:00Not in that way.
00:46:05It's okay.
00:46:06Deep down I knew it was too good to be true.
00:46:09I didn't mean to give you that impression, Jack.
00:46:12I was just being friendly.
00:46:14No, you're lying.
00:46:16I know you feel something for me.
00:46:18I know you feel the same as I do.
00:46:20I don't.
00:46:20I love you, Maria.
00:46:24I love you, Maria.
00:46:31I love you more than like I ever will, Lou.
00:46:40You don't love me, Jack.
00:46:42You just miss your mother.
00:46:45I am not your mother, Jack.
00:46:46I could never replace her.
00:46:49Why not?
00:46:49Why not?
00:46:54You gave your son away.
00:46:57And you've been living with the guilt ever since.
00:47:01Always wondering what it'd be like to have him around you.
00:47:04To hold him.
00:47:08To hug him.
00:47:09To hug him.
00:47:12To touch him.
00:47:19To kiss him.
00:47:27To kiss him.
00:47:31What's wrong with him?
00:47:32To kiss him.
00:47:34To kiss him.
00:47:50Hi, I'm looking for Jack.
00:47:57Hi Jack, I thought that we could hang out today.
00:48:02Yeah, sure.
00:48:03We need to get out of this place anyway.
00:48:20Are you okay?
00:48:23Jack?
00:48:24Yeah.

00:51:38What happened between us just now
00:51:41was a very special moment in my life.
00:51:55Did you not like what I did earlier?
00:51:59I can get better, you know?
00:52:02With practice.
00:52:08Was I too rough?
00:52:10I didn't hurt you, did I?
00:52:13No, you didn't hurt me.
00:52:20There is no future for us, you know that, don't you?
00:52:23I'll say that, please.
00:52:27We have a special connection.
00:52:33Is age the only thing keeping us apart?
00:52:38Is it?
00:52:42Shaq.
00:52:46Have you ever been in a relationship with a girl before?
00:52:51Have you ever had sex before?
00:52:57Are you a virgin?
00:53:02I didn't mean to embarrass you.
00:53:12I've always found it difficult connecting with girls emotionally.
00:53:20I've always felt comfortable with.
00:53:34I've always felt comfortable with.
00:53:34You're the woman I've been waiting for all my life.
00:53:37Don't say that, Shaq.
00:53:40You're so young I'm far too old.
00:53:43Why do you always have to talk about age?
00:53:45It's just a number.
00:53:49Maybe you're going to abandon me.
00:53:53Just like you did with your son.
00:53:55Why would you say something so cruel like that?
00:53:58Maybe it's true.
00:54:00Maybe you always abandon the people you love.
00:54:04You abandoned your boyfriend, didn't you?
00:54:06I am not like that, Shaq.
00:54:08Yes, you are.
00:54:13I love you.
00:54:15And you're willing to abandon me.
00:54:18Maybe I should just go and die somewhere.
00:54:21Slash my wrists or hang myself.
00:54:22Maybe that'll make you happy.
00:54:28Why are you talking like this?
00:54:30I can't live without you, Maria.
00:54:32If you leave me, I will kill myself.
00:54:38I will never leave you, Shaq.
00:54:41I don't believe you.
00:54:43You must believe me when I say I will never leave you.
00:54:49You promise?
00:54:51I promise.
00:55:00Oh, hello.
00:55:02I don't think you will ever go to emerge.
00:55:05Sit down.
00:55:09Let me get you a glass.
00:55:25Go on.
00:55:30Happy birthday, son.
00:55:39Hey, go steady on that stuff.
00:55:42It's...
00:55:43Oh, what the hell?
00:55:45Refill?
00:55:59You want to slow down some.
00:56:03What's the rush?
00:56:05We got the whole night ahead of us.
00:56:07Hmm?
00:56:12I get the feeling you're going to turn me off, aren't you?
00:56:19You're damn right.
00:56:21All right, let me hear it.
00:56:26You're an asshole, David.
00:56:28Oh, so you think your dad's an asshole, do you?
00:56:32Yeah, I do.
00:56:35You're an uncaring asshole.
00:56:37I'm uncaring, am I?
00:56:39Yeah, you are.
00:56:44And let's not forget about selfish.
00:56:47And selfish.
00:56:51Well, is there anything else you want to mention?
00:56:53You might as well.
00:56:55You're a selfish, uncaring, unloving piece of shit.
00:57:01All you ever think about is yourself.
00:57:03I'm fucking glad your marriage to Linda is over.
00:57:08I hope you die a lonely old man.
00:57:10Now, that's really hurtful, son.
00:57:17All right, you think I'm selfish.
00:57:19I only care about myself.
00:57:22You think I don't care about you,
00:57:25that I never cared about your mother.
00:57:26Don't bring my mother into this.
00:57:28You never loved her.
00:57:29That's where you're wrong, Jack.
00:57:32Before she was your mother, she was my wife.
00:57:38And I loved her.
00:57:40That's a lie.
00:57:41You never loved her.
00:57:45I loved her, Jack.
00:57:46I loved her so much.
00:57:49So much you couldn't wait to remarry.
00:57:51I only did that for you.
00:57:53That's a lie.
00:57:54No, no.
00:57:55That's the truth, Jack.
00:57:57I didn't want you growing up without...
00:57:59a mother.
00:57:59It's the only reason I married again so soon.
00:58:06I just wanted you to have a normal life, that's all.
00:58:14And I always loved you and Matthew equally.
00:58:16That's a lie.
00:58:18Matthew's always been your favorite.
00:58:23I've always been invisible to you.
00:58:25No.
00:58:26That's not true.
00:58:27I have always seen you and Matthew equally.
00:58:30No, you haven't.
00:58:32You've always blamed me for her death.
00:58:37Wait.
00:58:39Is that what you think?
00:58:44I've never blamed you for your mother's death.
00:58:48I never have.
00:58:51Look, I don't know why it happened.
00:58:56Maybe it was fate.
00:58:57Bad luck.
00:58:59I don't know.
00:59:03Sometimes bad things happen to good people.
00:59:06My mother was a very kind woman.
00:59:09I was going out of her way to help others.
00:59:19I still think of her, you know?
00:59:23I think about her all the time.
00:59:29I've only known her from a photo.
00:59:32How sad is that?
00:59:35No real memories to hold on to.
00:59:39I'm sorry it turned out that way for you, Jack.
00:59:42But we can't bring her back.
00:59:48You have to find some way to let her go.
00:59:52I'll never let go.
00:59:54Look, I know I haven't been a good father to you, Jack.
00:59:58And I am sorry for that.
01:00:00Truly am.
01:00:04I want a way to make it up to you.
01:00:08If you'll let me, will you do that?
01:00:11I don't know, David.
01:00:16It's a little too late for that, don't you think?
01:00:19Oh.
01:00:21It is never too late for a man to change.
01:00:26So, you're saying you think you deserve another chance, Dad?
01:00:33Yes, I do.
01:00:38I'm going to make you proud of me one day.
01:00:57Sweet dreams, son.
01:01:05So.
01:01:25I'll...
01:01:27See you.
01:01:34You okay?
01:01:35I'm fine. How did it go with your dad?
01:01:39Not what I expected. A lot to think about.
01:01:42Glad I took your advice, though, thanks.
01:01:44It's okay. I'm just happy for you.
01:01:48Is your dad on?
01:01:49You're not going in there today.
01:01:51Why not? Is something wrong?
01:01:53I just want to spend the whole day with you, that's all.
01:01:56Jack, you will. Later, tonight.
01:02:00Listen, I'm leaving tomorrow, and I'm not taking any chances.
01:02:04Knowing my bad luck, something could pop up and ruin everything.
01:02:07Please, Maria, let's go back to your place.
01:02:10Please. I want to spend the whole day with you.
01:02:13Please.
01:02:15What about your dad? He'll be looking for me.
01:02:18He'll be all right. Tell him something came up.
01:02:20Please.
01:02:35You all right, son? I haven't seen you all day.
01:02:37Yeah, I was in town.
01:02:39Oh.
01:02:39I've, um, ordered a cab for you tomorrow.
01:02:44It'll be here about nine.
01:02:46Thanks.
01:02:47Are you feeling okay?
01:02:49What do you mean?
01:02:51It's the first time you haven't bitten my head off.
01:02:55I like it.
01:03:00Look, what we were talking about last night, I don't know how much you can remember before you passed out.
01:03:06What's your point, David?
01:03:08I meant every word of it.
01:03:12I know I have not been a good father to you, and there's been a lot of misunderstandings between us.
01:03:21And I'd like to give it a try, to put it right, if you're willing to give me the opportunity.
01:03:30Are you finished?
01:03:33Yeah, that's all I wanted to say.
01:03:37I'll think about it.
01:04:28I'll think about it.
01:04:55I'll think about it.
01:05:04Come on, come on.
01:05:05Taxi's here.
01:05:05Give me your bag.
01:05:17I thought I wasn't going to get to see you before I go.
01:05:19Don't worry.
01:05:20I wasn't going to let you go without saying goodbye.
01:05:24I'm going to miss you.
01:05:28Are you going to come visit me in the States?
01:05:29Oh, I don't know.
01:05:31I don't want to make any promises.
01:05:34I'll see.
01:05:36Okay.
01:05:37Thanks for everything, Maria.
01:05:40Take care, mom, baby.
01:05:56What are you doing in there, Jack? Taxi's waiting.
01:05:59Come on, let's go.
01:06:29Look, have a safe trip home, son.
01:06:31And now, you can tell Donald from me that this wasn't such a bad idea after all.
01:06:54Good luck, son.
01:07:24Can we see you back here?
01:07:30I'm glad you're too.
01:07:32Now, I'm glad you're welcome.
01:07:37I love you, yep.
01:07:37I love you, Jack.
01:07:45I love you.
01:07:45I love you, Jack.
01:07:47I love you, Jack.
01:07:47It's very good.
01:07:48I love you, Jack.
01:07:49I love you, Jack.
01:07:50I love you, Jack.
01:07:52I love you, Jack.
