All language subtitles for The Maid’s Secret 2025 [NEW] THRILLER MOVIE DRAMA MOVE INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY

I can't believe you actually made it.
Yeah, I can't believe it either.

Oh, come on. Don't be like that.

You know what? I was hoping the driver
would never find this place.

That way I could get the next flight out
of here. Oh, come on, son. Give me a

break. It's what you deserve, David.

Look, I told Donald this wasn't a good
idea. Well, guess what? I told him the

same thing.

You know, I'm only here because of him.

Oh, well, that makes me feel really
special.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

You'd better come in.

Well, this is where you're staying.

Looks like a prison cell.

Why do you hate me so much, son?

Why don't you give me a piece of paper
and I'll write it down for you, David?

Stop calling me son, okay? It really
pisses me off. Okay, whatever you want,

Jack. Thank you, David.

I don't know what to say to you except
just try and enjoy the next few days.

Feels like a fucking eternity already.
Language, Jack.

I don't know what's going on inside your
head.

Believe me, you don't want to know.

Yeah, I'll leave you to it. You must be
tired after your flight.

Just get some rest and give me a shout
later, okay?

Thanks for your concern, David, but I'll
be fine. Please shut the door on your

way out.

How you doing, Jack?

Still alive, aren't I?

Who's that?

Oh, you two haven't met yet, have you?
That's Maria.

Since I've been single again, I need
somebody to look after me.

I hired her to help with the housework,
cooking, cleaning, all that sort of

thing.

She's here a few hours every day. If you
want anything, she's the one to ask.

Yeah, and I know what you're thinking.

She is a very beautiful lady, which is
one of the main reasons I hired her.

It's good to have a beautiful face
around the place again.

And she's a very good cook.

This is my son, Jack.

Nice to meet you, Jack.

Did you have a good rest?

He doesn't say much, does he? He's just
a bit shy.

Oh, I'm sure he'll be fine, David.

Look, Jack, I'm sorry, I've got a
meeting at one, and it's going to be a

hours, so I'll leave you in Maria's
capable hands.

If that's all right with you. It will be
my pleasure.

See you later, Jack.

It's hot today, isn't it?

Can I get you a drink?

Yeah, sure.

Okay, I'll just be a minute.

Here you go.

Thanks.

So how long are you planning to stay?
Only a few days.

Oh, that's too bad.

Not really.

Why not?

David and I were not exactly close.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, Jack.

You must be very close to your mom,
then.

Why would you say something like that to
me?

Fuck's sake!

I'm sorry if I said something to offend
you. Why did you say it?

I don't know. I just presumed you were
close to your mum, that's all.

Are you telling me David never told you?

He told me he was divorced, but that's
it.

Typical of David. He never even speaks
about her.

Do you live with your mum?

No.

She's not around.

Excuse me.

I'm going home now. I've left your
dinner in the oven.

Okay, see you tomorrow.

Sorry.

For snapping at you earlier.

It's not your fault.

Okay.

Is it my fault, really?

No, it's not.

My life's very complicated.

Isn't everyone?

When you said your mom wasn't around
anymore, what did you mean?

Where is she?

She died.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

It was a very long time ago.

But I thought your parents were only
recently divorced.

Yeah, like I said, my life's very
complicated.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm cool, thanks.

When did your mom pass away?

A very long time ago.

Was it after your parents divorced?

No, the divorce thing, that's Linda, my
stepmom.

They got divorced last year.

Oh, that makes sense now.

I hate Linda.

She's a nasty piece of work.

I was when you and your mom passed away.

I was just a baby.

She was just a baby.

She died at childbirth.

She died giving birth to me.

I wish I could remember something about
her, but I can't.

That's not your fault, Jack. You were
just a baby.

I feel responsible for her death, you
know?

Always have.

I killed her.

Don't say that, Jack.

You okay?

Oui.

I'm fine.

It's getting late, I should go.

Go away, David. I'm sleeping.

I thought we could go out for dinner
tonight.

There's a nice restaurant in town.

What do you say?

I'm not fucking hungry and I'm not
fucking interested, so fucking leave me

alone, all right?

Okay, Jack. If you want to be miserable
and stay in here only, go ahead. I don't

care. You're not a little boy anymore.
You're a man now, so act like one.

I'm a man, am I?

Fucking leave me alone, all right?

That man enough for you, David.

Hi.

I haven't seen you around here before.

Are you new here?

I'm here on holiday.

Your accent.

You're from America, right?

Uh, yeah.

I'm Becky.

Jack.

here with your family?

No.

With your girlfriend?

No.

Good.

How long are you here for?

Only a few days.

Oh.

That's not fair.

Do you want to hang out?

I don't know. I have a few things to do.

Who is that?

A friend.

Do you want to get a drink?

I'm sorry, I can't. I have to get back,
actually.

Can we meet again?

Sure. Whatever.

Hey, Jack. You're back so soon.

Well, yeah, there isn't much to do
around here. Just took a few pictures

that's all.

I'm thirsty.

Can I get a drink?

Oh, wait. Let me get it for you.

I see you made a new friend.

Sorry?

Oh, that girl back there.

Really? That's why I didn't stop and say
hello?

I didn't want to disturb you.

You could make friends.

She looks like a nice girl.

Yeah, I suppose.

I just met her today.

You have a girlfriend at home, Jack?

No. Really? Why not?

I don't know. I just never met a girl I
really like.

I find girls my age really immature.

How old are you, Jack?

Seventeen.

Oh, but not for long, no?

Your dad told me he said you might be
coming to spend your birthday with him.

Did he really?

Well, did he tell you about the last
time we spent my birthday together?

You're such an asshole!

I'm sorry, Jacques, for upsetting you
again.

You didn't upset me, Maria.

David did.

Do you always call your dad by his name?

I don't really consider him as my dad.

He's more of a pain in the ass.

Has it always been that bad between you
two?

Well, he's never there for me.

So who do you live with right now?

I live with my uncle in the U .S., Uncle
Donald.

He's my mom's younger brother.

He's been more of a father to me than
David ever has.

I know you have probably heard this
before, Jack.

But I really do understand what you're
going through.

I had my fair share of problems growing
up with my parents.

Moms can really mess up your life if
they want to.

You have any kids, Maria?

No.

No, in some way, I'm glad I don't have
any children.

I think I would make a bad mother.

Yesterday, when I told you about my mom,
you looked really upset.

Do you mind if I ask you why?

Like I said before, Jack, I know what
you're going through.

Did you lose someone close to you?

Oui.

And like you, it was a long time ago.

So I understand your pain.

It must have been so hard growing up
without a mother.

Yeah.

And it's even harder when you have a dad
who doesn't really care about you.

I've always felt like an orphan.

Oh, don't say that, Jack.

I'm sure deep down, your dad loves you
very much.

Well, if he did, he never showed it.

My life is too depressing. Let's talk
about something else.

Okay.

So, how long have you lived in England
for?

About two years now.

And before I lived here, I lived in
Germany for about three years.

Did you learn to speak English after you
came over?

Well, that's a funny story.

When I was younger, I used to watch a
lot of American movies, you know?

And that's really when I learned to
speak English.

It's such a beautiful language.

Do you speak any other languages, Jack?

Not really. I know one or two French
words, that's about it.

I speak very good German and a little
bit of Spanish also.

Well, maybe you can teach me some French
sometime.

J 'adorerais.

I said I'd love to.

Look at the time.

I better get back to what I was doing.
Don't want you going hungry.

Merci.

Ah, très bien.

Thank you very much.

It might sound a bit strange, but I
really feel comfortable talking to you.

Oh, thank you, Jack.

That means a lot to me.

I'm always here for you.

I'm very glad about what you told me
earlier.

It's good to talk to someone about your
problems.

Normally I don't, but with you it's
different.

I'm here for you.

You can talk to me about anything you
want.

I want to show you something.

Your mom?

She's beautiful.

You look a lot like her.

Oui, maybe, but she's more beautiful
than me.

I always wonder how my life would have
turned out if she'd have been here right

now, you know?

Oui, you know what you mean.

You're not like other teenagers, are
you, Jacques?

I think too much. That's my problem.

I find it's really hard to find a person
my age to have a decent conversation

with.

Let's talk about something else.

Something that will cheer you up.

I'm not in the mood.

Oh, don't say that.

How about your birthday?

Have you decided what you're going to do
yet?

I really, really don't like birthdays.
Why not?

Everyone likes birthdays.

It's the happiest occasion of our lives,
isn't it? Yeah, well, not in mine.

Don't say that. Are you that fucking
dumb?

Jacques! Just fucking leave me alone,
okay?

What's wrong, Jack?

I told you I don't want to celebrate my
birthday, so please don't ask me that

again, okay?

Are you trying to tear you up? I can't
celebrate my birthday without feeling

guilty.

I want to be happy, I do, but how can I
be happy when it's also the day that my

mom died?

What am I supposed to do? Tell me.

I'm sorry, Jack. Forgive me.

Every year I feel guilty when my
birthday comes around.

I always feel like I should just be
mourning her death.

Oh, Chad.

I always get depressed around my
birthdays.

I want to forget.

I want to be happy, but thinking about
my mom, it just makes me more depressed.

I understand your pain.

I really do.

I know how hard it is to lose someone so
precious to you.

Was it your husband?

No. They've never been married.

Sorry I said that.

It's okay.

I don't like to talk about it. It's just
something I prefer to keep to myself.

Don't you feel comfortable telling me?

You can trust me, you know. I won't tell
anyone.

I do trust you, Jacques.

Too painful to think about the past,
that's all.

Yeah.

Sometimes it's best not to remember the
bad things.

Oui.

You're right.

But at the same time, you know, it's
good to talk about them.

Oui.

It was a long time ago.

I was about your age.

A naive 16 -year -old girl.

Thinking I knew the world, you know?

I was seeing this boy.

And one thing led to another.

And I ended up getting pregnant.

My boyfriend didn't want me to keep the
baby.

He told me to get rid of it.

But I couldn't do it.

I tried to keep it a secret from my
parents for as long as I could.

When I found out, they went crazy.

My parents are a bit religious.

We come from a small town where everyone
knows everyone's business.

It was the scandal of the century.

What happened to the baby?

My parents were against abortion, so
they let me have the baby.

That's the only thing they did right.

So you had the baby then?

Oui.

It was a boy.

Two and a half kilos.

A tiny little thing.

I still remember that day in the
hospital.

They let me have the baby.

But they wouldn't let me keep him.

They made me give him away.

They made me give up.

My beautiful little baby boy for
adoption.

I have never given my parents what they
made me do.

My father passed away a few years ago.

I didn't go to his funeral.

Because I still couldn't forgive him.

But I hate myself more for not standing
up for my son.

I hate myself for being a coward.

Something I've learned to live with.

My life isn't as perfect as people think
it is, you know.

I'm sorry.

Well... I have only myself to blame.

Did you ever try to find him?

No.

No, I felt so guilty.

Wherever he is, I'm sure he's fine.

We have something in common, haven't we?

Yeah.

Hurry up!

Oh, there you are.

Hi, Jack.

Look, I'm sorry. I've been really busy
at work recently. Why doesn't that

surprise me, David?

You know, you haven't changed at all.

Don't be like that, son. I'm really
trying, all right?

Anyway, the thing is... I know you're
going to hate me for this.

I have to go to Paris for a day.

I have a meeting with a possible new
client and it is really important that I

meet him in person.

Typical David. No time for family.

Well, don't worry.

I'll make it up to you when I get back.
Like you've been making it up for the

past 17 years?

You know, I don't even know why I came
here in the first place. Don't say that.

I've asked Maria to stay over and keep
an eye on you until I get back.

That supposed to make me feel better?

No, I suppose not.

But at least you'll have some company.

Your dinner is ready.

I'm not hungry. I'll eat it later.

Are you still angry at your dad?

No.

I'm mad at myself for coming here.

Has it always been like this?

Ever since I can remember, yeah.

David's always been a workaholic.

So I was work first, family second with
him.

How about your stepmother?

She was the reason why I went to go and
live in the States.

Dad married her a year after my mom
died.

And at first I grew up thinking she was
my mom, you know.

But then my stepbrother, Matthew, came
along.

And her attitude just started chaining
towards me.

I got pushed to the side.

I got into trouble for all the things he
did.

I became a nobody.

David wasn't around to notice. David was
always too busy with work, too busy

making money so my stepmom could spend
it.

Now the marriage is over and everything
feels so pointless.

Total waste of time.

When did you realize she was not your
real mother?

I was about six.

I found a photo of my mom and David
together and when I asked my stepmom

it...

She was only too glad to tell me that
she wasn't my real mom.

I'm sorry, Jacques.

No child should go through what you have
been through.

Yeah.

I suppose so.

Maybe the divorce is not such a bad
thing, you know?

Maybe you can start again fresh with
your dad. I don't think that's possible.

Have you ever told him how you felt all
these years?

No. Well, maybe you should.

Maybe you should give your dad another
chance.

You think so?

My way, of course.

Thanks, Maria.

Thanks for all your advice.

You would have been a great mom.

So, uh, what are you watching?

Nothing special.

Oh, I feel tired.

I don't like sports. Try the next one.

Oh, this looks interesting.

Maria? Hi.

Jacob.

I thought it was you.

How are you doing?

I'm fine.

What are you doing here?

Don't worry, I'm not following you.

I'm here covering a story.

Small world, huh?

It's good to see you.

You, uh...

Gonna invite me in for a coffee?

So, what have you been up to?

Nothing special.

And you?

You know, the usual.

I've been doing an article about the
local wildlife reserve.

Riveting stuff.

Someone's got to do it right.

How have you been, Jacob?

Pretty good.

Considering.

Oh. Is there someone special in your
life at the moment?

Sorry.

Hard to ask.

I'm not seeing anyone.

And you?

Yeah.

I've been seeing someone for about...

Two months now.

I'm happy for you. Yeah, well, after you
left me, I spent a lot of time

trying to figure out what it is I did
wrong, you know?

You didn't do anything wrong, Jacob.

I just wasn't ready for commitment at
all.

I didn't set out to ask you.

I suppose it was my own fault, really.

I shouldn't have started talking about
marriage so soon.

It's complicated.

It's just that I didn't expect to fall
in love with you so quickly.

I thought marriage would be the natural
way forward for our relationship,

you know?

Does that make sense?

I just... I have a lot of issues to sort
out first.

All the time I was with you, I felt you
never really opened up to me

emotionally, you know?

I was hoping you would, over time.

But I was wrong.

That's not your fault, Jacob.

I'm still in love with you, Maria.

I want you back.

Just hear me out.

We can start all over again.

Take it a lot slower this time.

We can just date if that's what you
want.

And...

I won't talk about marriage.

I don't know, Jacob.

Just think about it, okay?

Okay.

Please.

Well, I'm here for a week. If you want
to... see me or just want to hang

out give me a call do you still have

my number something

tells me you're not going to call it

and that i'll never hear from you again
i don't know jacob

it's probably not a good idea

How about your girlfriend?

I don't feel the same for her as I do
for you.

Just tell me you'll think about it.

Okay?

We can still be friends, right?

I'm okay with that.

What's going on in that head of yours?

It's complicated.

I know.

Well.

I'll leave you to it.

Just remember, I'm only a phone call
away.

Okay?

I'll see myself out.

Take care, Maria.

You too, Jacob.

Hi Jack, you finally up?

Yeah, I was up a long time ago.

Oh, okay.

Who's that guy I saw leaving the house
earlier?

Oh, you mean Jacob?

He's just an old friend. I bumped into
him on the street, so I invited him back

for coffee.

Okay.

You want to eat something?

Or you want to wait until lunch?

I'll wait until lunch, actually. Okay,
lunch will be ready soon.

Hey, Jack.

I don't want you to take this the wrong
way.

But I want to say, happy birthday.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Where's my present?

Oh, Shaq, I didn't get you anything.

I'm just teasing you, Maria.

But to tell you the truth, if you did
get me something, I wouldn't have said

I consider it very special.

Oh, thank you, Jack.

If you were to get me something, what
would it be?

Oh, I don't know.

Something you like?

Something you always wanted?

I don't know.

It's still not too late, Jack.

Why don't you tell me what you want for
your birthday and I'll get it for you.

You promise?

Yeah, I promise.

As long as it's not too expensive.

I want you, Maria.

What?

I want you.

Don't say anything, Jack.

So you're going to get me my present?

What do you mean, Jack?

I think you know what I mean.

I don't. I think you do.

I think I should get back to what I was
doing.

Don't ignore me, Maria.

You promised me you'd get me what I want
for my birthday.

Well, now I'm telling you what I want.

I want you.

You cannot ignore me.

I'm very serious, Maria.

We have something in common.

We have...

A connection.

I know you feel it like I do. We have a
connection, Jack. I won't deny that.

What exactly do you 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 be talking like this.

You're just a kid.

I'm not a kid anymore.

Today I'm a man.

And what matters is that we have a
connection, nothing else.

That doesn't make it right, Jack.

I don't see you in that way.

You're confusing my friendship for
something else.

I see you as a friend, Jack, a good
friend.

So you're saying you don't feel anything
for me other than friendship?

No, I don't.

Why don't you look me in the eyes and
tell me that?

You're just a friend to me, Jack.

Nothing more.

You still in love with that guy?

would be, Maria. I heard you guys
talking.

He wants you back, doesn't he?

That's none of your business.

You're thinking about going back to him,
aren't you? Yes.

Stop this, please. I can't answer this
anymore. Just stop.

You know what, Maria?

For the first time in my life, I thought
I could feel a bit of happiness on my

birthday.

I thought I found something special.

Someone who...

Who would care about me.

But... I was wrong.

You never cared about me.

You're just like David.

You're just pretending. I do care about
you, Jack.

Not in that way.

It's okay.

Deep down, I knew it was too good to be
true.

I didn't mean to give you that
impression, Jack.

I regret being friendly.

No, you're lying.

I know you feel something for me. I know
you feel the same as I do.

I don't. I love you, Maria.

I love you more than that guy ever will
do.

You don't love me, Jack.

You just miss your mother.

I am not your mother, Jack. I could
never replace her.

Why not?

You gave your son away.

And you've been living with the guilt
ever since.

Always wondering what it'd be like to
have him around you.

To hold him.

To hug him.

Thank you.

Are you looking for Jack?

Hi, Jack.

I thought that we could hang out today.

Yeah, sure.

We need to get out of this place anyway.

Are you okay?

Jack? Yeah?

Something wrong?

Nothing.

How do you find me?

I followed you after the other day.

Are you stalking me?

Do you want me to?

Don't you have a boyfriend?

No. Would you like to be my boyfriend?

It's my birthday today.

Really? Happy birthday, Jack.

For the first time in my life, I really
want something for my birthday and I

can't have it.

Really?

What do you want, Jack? Maybe I can get
it for you.

No, you can't get it for me.

Really? Are you sure?

Maybe I can.

Do you want to go back to my house? My
parents aren't in at the moment.

I can't.

Look, you look like a really nice girl,
but I'm interested in someone else.

Sorry if I gave you the wrong
impression.

Who is it?

Is it your ex? Is it someone back in the
U .S.? It's complicated.

I have to go.

What are you doing, Isaac?

What's your friend? Why are you crying?

I'm not crying. Stop lying, Maria.

Why are you still here?

If you were just friends, why don't you
just take off and leave, huh?

What I feel for you is more than just
friendship.

I care for 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 I'm your son.

What happened between us just now was a
very special moment in my life.

Did you not like what I did earlier?

I can get better, you know, with
practice.

Was I too rough?

I didn't hurt you, did I?

No, you didn't hurt me.

There is no future for us, you know
that, don't you? Don't say that, please.

We have a special connection.

Is age the only thing?

keeping us apart.

Is it?

Zach.

Have you ever been in a relationship
with a girl before?

Have you ever had sex before?

Are you a virgin?

I didn't...

I mean to embarrass you.

I... I've always found it difficult
connecting with girls

emotionally.

Always have.

Until now.

You're the first woman I've ever felt
comfortable with.

You're the woman I've been waiting for
all my life.

Don't say that, Jack.

You're so young, I'm far too old.

Why do you always have to talk about
age?

It's just a number.

Maybe... Maybe you're gonna abandon me.

Just like you did with your son.

Why would you say something so cruel
like that?

Maybe it's true.

Maybe you always abandon the people you
love.

You abandoned your boyfriend, didn't
you?

I am not like that, Jack. Yes, you are.

I love you.

And you're willing to abandon me.

Maybe I should just go and die
somewhere.

Slash my wrists or hang myself. Maybe
that'll make you happy.

Why are you talking like this?

I can't live without you, Maria.

If you leave me, I will kill myself.

I will never leave you, Jack.

I don't believe you.

You must believe me when I say I will
never leave you.

You promise?

You okay?

Oui, I'm fine.

Your dad will be here soon.

Who cares?

Are you going to stay mad at him
forever?

Why not?

He deserves it.

You need to find a way to let go of that
anger and to move on with your life.

That's easier said than done.

We can't change the past, Jack.

But you have the opportunity to patch
things up with your dad and start again.

I don't want you to end up like me.

I don't know. I'm so mad at him. I know
you are.

But he's trying his best to change.

So give him a chance.

I gave him so many chances.

I just fucked them all up.

But you never told him how you really
feel all these years, have you?

Or you just presumed he knows and don't
care?

Unless you sit down and talk to him.

Tell him how you really feel about him
and why.

Then you'll never be happy, Jack.

You'll never be happy.

I don't want you to make the same
mistakes I have made.

You're still young.

You still have time to heal.

Make me a promise that you will try your
best to patch things up with your dad

before you leave.

Promise me.

I promise.

How are you two?

Hi, David.

How was your trip?

It was fine, thanks.

Hi, Jack.

Happy birthday.

Well, I got you a present.

Come on, son, take it.

I hope you haven't been giving Maria a
hard time while I've been away.

He's been a good boy.

Oh, good.

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 want to get in
the way. I'm not interested, thanks.

Oh, come on, son. It's your birthday.

No, thank you.

Come on. I said no, didn't I?

If you go there.

I'm doing my best here, but it's
obviously not enough.

Let me talk to him, David.

Okay, sure.

You okay?

I don't want to go to dinner with him.

No, it wouldn't hurt if you did.

I know, but I want him to suffer.

I won't make it easy for him.

Does he think he can just make up for
all these years in one day?

You can't keep living in the past, Jack.
You need to move on.

I'm here for you now.

You need to let go.

Give him another chance.

But I'd rather go to dinner tonight with
you than him.

I thought we could be together tonight.

You need to be adult about this, Jack.

You know deep in your heart this is the
right thing to do.

But I really want to spend the night
with you.

I want to make love to you.

I know.

And you will.

We can be together tomorrow night.

But tonight, you are going to spend it
with your dad.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Good luck.

Oh, hello.

I don't think you were ever going to
emerge.

Sit down.

Let me get you a glass.

Happy birthday, son.

Hey, go steady on that stuff. It's...
Oh, what the hell?

Refill?

You want to slow down, son.

What's the rush?

We've got the whole night ahead of us.

I get the feeling

you're going to tell me off, aren't you?

You're damn right.

All right, let me hear it.

You're an asshole, David.

Oh, so you think your dad's an asshole,
do you? Yeah, I do.

You're an uncaring asshole.

Uncaring, am I? Yeah, you are.

And let's not forget about selfish.

And selfish.

Well, is there anything else you want to
mention?

You might as well.

You're selfish.

uncaring, unloving piece of shit.

All you ever think about is yourself.

I'm fucking glad your marriage to Linda
is over.

I hope you die a lonely old man.

Now, that's really hurtful, son.

All right.

You think I'm selfish. I only care about
myself.

You think...

I don't care about you that I never
cared about your mother. Don't bring my

mother into this.

You never loved her.

That's where you're wrong, Jack.

Before she was your mother, she was my
wife.

And I loved her.

That's a lie.

You never loved her.

I loved her, Jack. I loved her so much.
So much you couldn't wait to remarry.

I only did that for you.

No, no.

That's the truth, Jack. I didn't want
you growing up without a mother.

It's the only reason I married again so
soon, Alan.

I just wanted you to have a normal life,
that's all.

And I always loved you and Matthew
equally.

That's a lie.

Matthew's always been your favourite.

I've always been invisible to you. No.

That's not true. I have always seen you
and Matthew equally. No, you haven't.

You've always blamed me for her death.

Wait.

Is that what you think?

I've never blamed you for your mother's
death.

I never have.

Look, I don't know why it happened.

Maybe it was fate.

Bad luck. I don't know.

Sometimes bad things happen to good
people. Your mother was a very kind

Always going out of her way to help
others.

I still think of her, you know.

I think about her all the time.

I've only known her from a photo.

How sad is that?

No real memories to hold on to.

I'm sorry it turned out that way for
you, Jack, but we can't

bring her back.

You have to find some way to let her go.

I'll never let go.

Look, I know I haven't been a good
father to you, Jack.

And I am sorry for that. Truly am. I...
I want a way

to make it up to you.

If you'll let me. Will you do that?

I don't know, David.

It's a little too late for that, don't
you think?

Oh, it is never too late for a man to
change.

So, you're saying you think you deserve
another chance, Dad?

Yes, I do.

I'm going to make you proud of me one
day.

Sweet dreams son.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

How did it go with your dad?

Not what I expected.

A lot to think about.

Glad I took your advice, though. Thanks.

It's okay.

I'm just happy for you.

Is your dad home? You're not going in
there today.

Why not? Is something wrong?

I just want to spend the whole day with
you. That's all.

Jack, you will later tonight.

Listen, I'm leaving tomorrow, and I'm
not taking any chances.

Knowing my bad luck, something could pop
up and ruin everything.

Please, Maria, let's just go back to
your place.

Please.

I want to spend the whole day with you.

Please.

What about your dad? He'll be looking
for me. He'll be all right. Tell him

someone came up.

Please.

I don't know why, but I'm really
nervous.

Me too.

Got butterflies in my stomach.

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
like it was a fantasy.

I'm here because I want to be here.

With you.

You okay?

Am I hurting you?

No.

No, it's not you.

You know, we don't have to do this.

I'll be okay. Just give me a minute.

I want to tell you something.

Something I've never told anyone.

He's always been with me.

He took me up inside.

Okay.

I haven't been totally honest with you.

Okay.

What I said about my son with you... I
did give him up

for adoption.

You once asked me...

if I tried to find him.

Well, I lied to you when I said no.

After I left home, I tried my best to
find him.

He would have been about five years old.

I managed to find my son, my precious
little baby boy.

What happened?

I found out he'd

been killed in an instant by an accident
while he was playing outside.

He bled to death there on the road
before anyone could get help.

I'm so sorry.

It's not my fault.

I killed him.

You didn't kill him, Maria. It's not
your fault.

It is my fault.

If only I tried to find him.

They find the guy that did it They

sent him to prison But

nothing can bring back my son

You can't keep blaming yourself for what
happened.

It just happened, okay?

And I've come to realize that sometimes
in life bad things happen.

Without reason.

Without any sense.

We just have to accept it and move on, I
suppose.

But I can't.

Imagining him lying there on the road.

Bleeding.

In pain.

All alone.

And I wasn't there for him.

That image keeps playing.

Look, I don't know what to say to make
your pain go away, but being with you,

meeting you, has really helped me deal
with what I've

been carrying around in my head all
these years.

I haven't felt like this for a long
time.

Really?

I've been in a few serious
relationships, but I always run

away when they talk about marriage and
having children.

That's what happened with Jacob.

You still love him?

I still have feelings for him, but I
don't think I want to go back to him.

He wants to get married, and I don't
think I'm ready for that yet.

You know, you can't live like this
forever.

I actually think your tragedy will make
you a better mother.

You think so?

Yeah, I do.

Because you really know how precious a
child's life is.

You love it with all your heart.

You'll try to be the most wonderful
mother a child could ever wish for.

It's something I never experienced in my
life.

But mother's real love.

I wish I was your son.

I wish I had all that love from you.

You're right. I haven't seen you all
day.

Yeah, I was in town.

I've ordered a cab for you tomorrow.

It'll be here about nine.

Thanks.

Are you feeling OK?

What do you mean?

It's the first time you haven't bitten
my head off.

I like it.

Look, what we were talking about last
night...

I don't know how much you can remember
before you passed out.

What's your point, David?

I meant every word of it.

I know I have not been a good father to
you, and there's been a lot of

misunderstandings between us.

And I'd like to give it a try to put it
right, if you're willing to give me the

opportunity.

Are you finished?

I'll think about it

I thought I wasn't going to get to see
you before I go.

Don't worry.

I wasn't going to let you go without
saying goodbye.

I'm going to miss you.

Are you going to come visit me in the
States?

I don't want to make any promises.

I'll see.

Okay.

Thanks for everything, Maria.

Take care.

What are you doing in there, Jack?
Taxi's waiting.

Come on, let's go!

Look, have a safe trip home, son.

And you can tell Donald from me that
this wasn't such a bad idea after all.

Good luck, son.

I don't know what to believe.

Bye -bye.
