Mad Mom (2019)

[ For One Moment by Lee Hazlewood ] The hurt I hurt Is nothing like the hurts I've hurt before The things I feel do not feel Like things I've felt before And the loneliness and the emptiness And the hopelessness are fine Because sometimes my cloudy brain Remembers for one moment you were mine - [Woman on voicemail]: Hey! You've reached Amber! Leave a message. [Voicemail beeping] - Hi, honey! It's Mom calling, again. I don't know why I keep getting your answering machine. I... I hope everything's OK. I'm just about to leave for work, and I was hoping we could talk before I left, so call me back, OK? All right. I love you! Bye! The pain that pains Is not the pain that's pained my heart before The tears I tear Are not the tears my eyes have teared before Good morning! And the loneliness... - How's anyone supposed to stick to their diet while working with you, Sharon? - That's why God gave our uniforms elastic waistbands. Because sometimes my cloudy brain Remembers for one moment you were mine [Gasping] [Whispering]: Shhh! No, it's OK. Shhh! Jackie, it's OK. It's OK. That's it. That's it. [Moaning] That's it. That's it. [Woman talking in distance, indistinct] - I'm honestly a bit surprised. I saw her just a few hours ago, and her vitals were strong. - She'd been suffering for so long, and the fact that she didn't have any family... She probably lost the will to live. - Well, she was only gonna get worse, so it was probably for the best. - Mmm. She's in a better place now. - [Man on recording]: You have one new message. - [Amber]: Hey, Mom! It's me. Sorry I missed your calls earlier. So, I have some news. I'm getting married! Luke took me to Martha's Vineyard for the weekend and proposed. We haven't set a date, but we're leaning towards the end of the summer, so as soon as you can get days off, you should come to Boston to help us plan! Luke's mom offered for you to stay with her, so no excuses! Anyway, call me back! Love you! Bye! [Insects chirring] Mom! [Amber laughing] Oh!- Mmm! - Missed you! - I missed you too! - Here, I'll... I'll take that. - Oh, thank you, Luke! Oh! - So, how was your drive? - Um, no complaints. - What is it, like, 8 hours to Cleveland? - Um, just over. - I'm so happy you're gonna be here for our engagement party. - Honey, I wouldn't miss it for the world! So, who's coming? Just mainly your friends? - And some of my mom's colleagues from the art world. - Jill thinks it'll be a good networking opportunity for me. - OK. Wow! You weren't kidding when you said she'd have enough room for me to stay here. - Yeah! - Uh, she's just finishing up a phone call, and then she'll be right out. - OK! Hmm... [Chuckling] [Gasping] Let me see your ring! - Oh... - Oh, honey! It's gorgeous! [Both chuckling] I'm not so sure I can say the same thing about your nail polish! What made you choose this colour? - There she is! - I'm just... - Sharon, it's so good to finally meet you! - You too, Jill. You have a beautiful home. - Thank you. And as long as you're here, I'd like you to think about it as your house too. - Thank you. That's very kind. [Inhaling deeply] I, um... I brought you something. - Oh, that's so sweet! Totally unnecessary. - It was my pleasure. It's a macram pot holder. It's for plants. I... I make them and sell them at the local flea market. - Thank you! - You're welcome. - I love it! - So, Amber tells me you're an art dealer. - I am. - What exactly do you do? - Well, my main job is to facilitate the sale of artists' work, which hopefully, I'm going to be able to do for Amber one day. - Did she give you this to sell? - No, no, no. No. That's a gift. But I am working on getting her art out there, since she's graduating so soon. - Great! She never mentioned you lived in a museum. - Well, I like to think of myself as a high-end hoarder. Plus, it's good for clients to see how pieces might fit into their own homes. I change things around quite regularly. - Well, you certainly have an eclectic taste. - Art is subjective. One person's Rembrandt is another person's Dogs Playing Poker. Do you have a favourite artist? - My daughter. - Good choice! The bedrooms are upstairs. So, Amber tells me you're a hospice nurse. - Yes. That's right. - Must be difficult, working around so much death. - You get used to it, actually. And it's so rewarding, being able to comfort people in their final days. - Here's where you'll be staying. [Chuckling] Thank you again for hosting me. - Yeah, of course! We're going to be family. I can't have you staying in a hotel. So, I've printed out the Wi-Fi password, door and alarm codes. My room's just down the hall, so if you need anything, just knock! - Thank you. When was this taken? - Oh, I had a photographer friend come by and do some engagement photos of the kids. [Chuckling] - Amber emailed me some. I didn't see this one. - Well, I figured since I was paying for them, I might as well get in on some! [Chuckling, sighing] She's just a dream, isn't she? - Yes, she is. - Well, why don't I let you freshen up, and when you're ready, you can join us downstairs. - I'll be down in a jiff. - Take your time. You know what, Sharon? The very first time I met Amber, I looked at her, and I thought to myself: "Now, that's the kind of girl I wish Luke would date." It's true. Little did I know, a year and a half later, they'd be engaged. [Sighing] Oh! Looks like we need another bottle! - That went down quickly! - We're celebrating! It's so nice to have you here. Any requests? - Oh, I'm fine with whatever. - Sharon? - No, I'm good. - Back in a second. [Luke clearing throat] Look what I found! It's that organic Chardonnay we got in Cape Cod. - You went on a trip? - Technically, it was for business, but we did manage to squeeze in a few trips to local vineyards. - Did you go too, Luke? - I wasn't invited. - It was a girls' trip. [Laughing] You know what I'm thinking of? - What? - That B&B we stayed in! - [Laughing]: Oh my God! Where all night, we kept on hearing that spooky sound! - It was so scary! OK, make the sound. Make the sound. You're so good at it! Make it! - OK, OK, wait. OK, wait. [Groaning] [Jill and Amber laughing] - It was like a strange, old man was underneath the covers or something. It was like, whoa! So scary! - Oh my God! That lobster we had! That was probably the best meal I've ever had. - I was gonna wait until tomorrow to surprise you, but I called the restaurant, and I had them ship some in for your party tomorrow. - No! - Yes, I did. - Oh! You're the best! - I love you, honey! - Love you! [Doorbell ringing] - Oh! Dinner's ready! [Chuckling softly] - [Whispering]: Sushi! - You know, there's no shame in using a fork. - I can manage. Thank you. - Guess Cleveland isn't exactly known for its sushi. - Go, Browns, go! - So, I was thinking that we could visit some caterers while you're in town. - OK. - Amber and I met a few, but we weren't blown away by them. - Well, depending upon where you're planning on having the reception, honey, you might be required to use their caterer. - Well, we... We're leaning towards having it here. - At the house? - Well, the backyard, yeah. - Oh! - Yeah, it actually was my idea. I think it'll work great. - Do you have a church in mind for the ceremony? - Actually, we were thinking about doing that here too. - You are? - Yeah, we still plan on having a prayer and bible readings, just doing it outside. - I think it's a great idea! I love the idea of getting married outside, in nature. I mean, church weddings can be so stuffy, don't you think? - No, actually, I don't. - Well, what is it that they say? "Church isn't so much the building as it is its people." - Are you planning on using your pastor? - Uh, no. Luke and I have a friend that's ordained, who we've asked to perform our ceremony. - What denomination is he? - He doesn't really have one. - He... he just did it online. It's pretty easy. You give them your name, $25, and you're a minister. - It's their friend Scott. He's really funny. - A marriage is a commitment made before God, Amber. It's not a comedy show. - It'll still feel traditional. - I don't see how. - You know what? Sharon, it's the kids' wedding. Just let them do what they want. - Is it what they want? Or is it what you want, Jill? I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You know, um, I'm actually pretty tired after the drive, so if you'll all excuse me, I'm gonna call it a night. [Insects chirring] - I'm sorry for springing all the wedding stuff on you like that. - I don't get why you're not having your ceremony in a church. Don't you want your wedding to be as special as it can be? - I do want that. But special means something different to me now. - I suppose your future mother-in-law thinks people who go to church are feebleminded. - Oh, Mom, this has nothing to do with Jill! - Really? Because you both look like you're just two peas in a pod. - We just have a lot in common. - We used to have a lot in common. - We still do, Mom. - Everything I have ever done, every decision I have ever made, I have always put you first. And I'm willing to give you away to Luke, but I am not willing to give you away to his mother. - If you'd just give Jill a chance, I know you two could be friends. - I love you, Amber. And for your sake, I will be nice, but trust me when I say that woman and I will never be friends. Good night. - Good night! Well, that was awkward! - She's still upset? - She blames your mom. - For? - Everything! - Did you tell her that you don't wanna wear her wedding dress? - Sort of. Not really. - Amber! I... [Sighing] - I've already upset her enough. I just wanna get through the next few days with as little drama as possible. - OK. So... You know, if things get a little too stressful, we can just elope. - Vegas? - Yeah, we could get an Elvis impersonator to marry us. Har, har, har. - You're kidding, but that's actually not the worst idea I've ever heard. [Scoffing] [Sighing] - Oh, what a shame! - Can you still serve it? - No! I can't risk giving your guests food poisoning! What a disaster! I... I don't know how this happened, but I am so sorry. - So, you're cancelling the party? - No, I'm not gonna cancel the party because of some spoiled lobster! That's ridiculous. I'm just gonna call the caterer and order more food. - Good! - Easy fix. [ Upbeat jazz playing ] [Guests chatting, indistinct] [Laughing] - I'm gonna steal her away. Come with me. - OK. I'll be back. [Talking indistinctly] Hi! How are you? Good to see you! - Ah! So nice to see you! - Hi! It's so nice to see you! [ Electronic music playing on PA ] [Guests chatting, indistinct] [Woman coughing] - Uh, does this have gluten? - Sorry? - Th-this cracker, does it contain gluten? - I don't know. - Aren't you one of the helpers? - No. I'm, uh... I'm Amber's mother. - Oh! Ah! I'm sorry. I just... 'Cause you were standing back here, and your... I'm Evan. I'm Jill's partner, here at the gallery. - Sharon. - Sharon! So... Congratulations! Jill just adores your daughter. - Yes, I've noticed. - And vice-versa. They're so lucky. I mean, I could barely stand to be in the same room as my mother-in-law. Ex-mother-in-law, thank God! I couldn't imagine choosing to spend my free time with her, let alone inviting her to come help me pick out my wedding tuxedo! It's like... - Your tuxedo? - I just mean how they went wedding-dress shopping. So... - They went wedding-dress shopping together? - Uh, yeah. Uh... I don't think they ended up buying anything. I need a drink. Uh, such a pleasure to meet you, Sharon. - Yes, it was nice meeting you too, Evan. You two went wedding-dress shopping together? - Uh... [Chuckling] - Yes. Yes. - I don't understand. I thought you were gonna wear my dress. - It's just not my style. - Or anybody's. - Excuse me? - I'm sorry, I just... [Sighing] Sharon, I... I saw a photo of it, and it looks a bit dated. And Amber's such a beautiful girl! We want her to look her best for her wedding, don't we? - Of course I do, Jill. - Well then, perhaps she should wear something a little bit more current. - May I please speak to my daughter alone? - Absolutely. - Thank you. - I know you hoped that I'd wear your dress, but Jill's right. It's just... It's just not me. - Honey, it's not just about the dress. - Then why are you so upset? - Because shopping for a wedding dress is something special that a mother and daughter do together, not a mother-in-law. - You're right. I'm... I'm so sorry, Mom. - It was Jill's idea, wasn't it? - Well, yeah. But I don't... - Don't you see? She's trying to manipulate you to get what she wants. - Mom, she's just encouraging me to do what I want. - Oh, Amber. - Mom... - Can I get your attention? - You're smarter than that. - Mom! - [Luke]: Amber! - Go on! Go, go, go! - We'll talk later. [Chuckling] [Talking indistinctly] - Um, yeah, no, seriously, I just wanted to thank everyone for coming out and making this such a special day for both of us, so... - Thank you so much for being here, everyone. Um, I actually just want to point out a really special guest: uh, my mom, Sharon Vickers, who drove all the way from Cleveland to be with us today. Growing up, my mom never missed a single art show. She was always the first to volunteer for bake sales and made me, always, the best Halloween costume in the neighbourhood. [All laughing] No matter what was going on, she always put me first, and she still does today. So, I just want to say that I know you don't always agree with my choices, but I love you, and thank you for being such a great mom. [Guests applauding] - Yeah! And I would like to take this opportunity to thank my mom, Jill, for being such a great host. - Yeah, Luke could not have asked for a cooler and better mother, and I could not have dreamed of a better mother-in-law, so, to Jill. - [All]: To Jill! - Oh! - Yes! - Thank you so much! I'll drink to that! [All laughing] And, would you mind? I would like to... Thank you so much. I just wanna say a quick word. I... I just wanna thank you all for coming out here and celebrating Luke and Amber. It's hard to hand over your only son to another woman. I think all of you know my story and know how it's always just been Luke and I, since the beginning. Whether he liked it or not, he was always a mama's boy. - That's true! - Yeah, I was! [Both laughing] - But the truth is... [Clearing throat] ...I always wanted to have a girl... as well. And it just wasn't in the cards. And then Amber came into our lives. She's sweet, smart, talented, everything anyone could ever want, and I realize she's the daughter I... I never had. And I just love you so much, honey. - I love you! - [Guests]: Aw! - Thank you! Thank you for everything! - I love you too, Lukey! - I love you, Mom. [All laughing] - Now, everyone, please, have a drink and eat! - Party! - Dance! - ...then it will be done... - Well, don't worry about that. That's a decision. - Yeah. - You know, you make that for yourself. - Something smells good. - Your mom made a roast and a pie! [Chuckling] - I did! - Wow! - Oh! Wait till you try her Christmas baking. - Well, that settles where we're gonna have our first family holiday! [Chuckling] - I hope you don't mind that I've taken over your kitchen. I just wanted to show my appreciation for letting me stay here. - That's so sweet! - Sorry we took so long. We had to stop by the gallery. - Oh, that's fine! Luke's been keeping me company. He told me all about the big presentation that he's gotta make to all the CEOs at the conference you're going to in Hartford. - It's a big opportunity. Actually, we leave the same morning as you head out, so it works out well. - He also told me that you're using his grandparents' wedding bands. - Yeah. Yeah, they helped raise him, so... - I think that's lovely that you can use something with sentimental value. [Sighing] - Sharon, you know, Amber and I were talking in the car, and I realized how I've overstepped by taking Amber dress shopping, and I wanted to say that I'm sorry. - Really? - Yeah. It's just that this is as close as I'm ever gonna get to being mother of the bride, and I'm just really excited. I'm sure that if the roles were reversed... Anyway, I'm sorry. - Thank you. I appreciate you saying that. - Seeing as tomorrow's your last day, I was thinking just you and I could go to some bridal salons. - Really? - Yeah. - I'd love it! - So, what's for dinner? - Well, the pot roast and, uh, the candied carrots you love and roasted potatoes. - Ah! So delicious! - You know, I'm not very hungry. [ Classical music playing on stereo ] [Giggling] - What do you think? - You look stunning. [Chuckling] [Sighing] I don't know how you can justify spending so much money on something you're only gonna wear once. - You're probably right. - I know it's not your first choice, but besides saving money... [Sighing] ...my dress has sentimental value, just like the wedding bands. - Oh! That dress is gorgeous! - What are you doing here? - Oh, I had some business in the neighbourhood. I thought I'd pop in and see how things are going. You don't mind, do you? - Of course not. - Wow! Oh my God! It looks like it was custom built for you! - But it's so expensive. - Yeah, um, Jill, Amber and I were talking, and she's changed her mind. She's leaning towards my dress. - I'll pay for it. - I can't let you do that. - What's money for if you can't spend it on the people you love? - That's generous, but it's too expensive. - I want you to look beautiful on your wedding day, and in this dress, you will, you do. - I think Amber should wear my dress. I mean, I... I made it, and... - Please! Let me pay for it! Will you? Please! - Oh my gosh! OK! - Yes? Oh! I'm so happy! - Thank you! Thank you! [Amber laughing] - Oh, you just look absolutely radiant! - I love it! [Birds chirping] - OK... [Car door closing] Jill, thank you for your hospitality. - Absolutely! My pleasure. - I love you. - I love you too! [Inhaling deeply] Mmm! - Good luck at the conference. - Thanks! - You're gonna do great! - Drive safely. - I will. I'll talk to you soon, OK? - Call me. - [Both whispering]: I love you! [Car door closing, engine starting] [Door beeping] - Hello!- Hello! - Mwah!- Mwah! - Must feel good to be rid of your house guest! - Next time, I think I'm gonna suggest a hotel. - She's definitely a bit creepy. - You think? - I don't know. I just got a weird vibe off of her after I saw her staring at you a few times at the party. - I was with Amber most of the night. - Yeah, I guess. Do you have the Irwin contracts? - Oh! I was reading them in bed last night. I must have left them at home. Do we need to get them out this morning? - I promised we would. - OK, no worries. I'll just go home and get them. - Sorry, babe! - No problem! [Alarm beeping, wailing] [Alarm stops] [Grunting] - [Whispering]: OK! OK! [Door closing] - Sharon? Sharon? You here? [Gasping] No! Aaah! [Panting] - [Whispering]: No. OK. [Grunting] [Sharon]: Jill! [Sharon grunting] Jill! Jill! Jill! [Grunting] Are you OK? Don't move! Don't move! Don't move! I'm gonna get help! - Is someone in the house? - No, he's gone! He's gone. Just stay calm. [Panting] [Line ringing] [Machine beeping] I was on my way home, um, and I... I realized that I forgot my phone back at Jill's, so I turned around. But by the time I got back, everyone was gone. So, I let myself in, and, um... And I was just about to enter the alarm code, and he grabbed me. He stuck a knife to my throat... and he said if I made a sound, that he'd kill me. Uh... And then he... he... he tied me up, and he gagged me, and he forced me into the kitchen. [Whispering]: I never thought I'd see Amber again. [Sobbing] - Take your time. - Then I heard Jill come home. And, uh, she was calling out my name, but I... I couldn't answer. I saw her go upstairs. And I knew he was up there. And I tried. I... I... I tried to warn you, I did. And then I saw her... her body fall to the ground. I thought you were dead. - Hmm. - And then I heard him run out the front door. And somehow, I, uh... I managed to get my hands free, and I made my way over to Jill, and I called 911 on her phone. - Can you describe the man to me? - Uh, I don't know, uh... Late 20s, uh, early 30s. Um, he had brown hair. White! He was white. And, uh, about 5'10", 6 feet. [Inhaling deeply] And, um... he was wearing gloves. - And if you saw him again, you think you'd be able to ID him? - I don't know. Maybe. It was such a blur. - I don't understand how he got in. - The back door. Looks like he used a crowbar to pry it open. - But I have an alarm system. - The wires were cut. I'm gonna need a detailed list of all the stolen jewellery. Um, any photos or serial numbers, that could very helpful. - OK, but all I really care about are those wedding bands. - We'll do what we can. - Thank you. - [Man on PA]: Dr. Green in cardiology. - Hi! [Sighing] - The doctor wants to admit you. - What? Ugh! But I didn't have any surgery or anything. - You still suffered a very serious break, not to mention you lost consciousness. Concussions can be dangerous. - So, how long does he think I'm gonna be in here? - Not sure. Probably just a few days. - There's really no way I can go home? - With your limited mobility, you'd need to hire a private nurse. - Well, I can hire a nurse. - You'd really prefer to leave? - Oh, absolutely! - I'll take care of you. - Well, that's very generous of you, but I... I wouldn't wanna put you out. - I'm a nurse. It's what I do. - I know. And I... I just... I cou... I... I... I... I couldn't feel comfortable asking that of you. - Oh! You said to me when I first got here that we're gonna be family. Family takes care of each other. - Well, OK. Yeah. - Now, do you want me to call the kids and tell them what happened? - Yeah, OK. Actually, no. Don't. You know what? What can they do? I don't want Luke to feel like he has to leave his conference early. - OK. Then let me see if I can talk the doctor into letting me take you home, OK? Just give me a sec to get things ready. You're safe now. I'm gonna take care of you. I'm gonna get you set up on the couch. OK, you're gonna have to lift it. - Ow! - I know! I know! OK... OK. I know. I'm gonna... - Ow!- I know! - Oh!- Ah, ah! Wait, wait, wait! OK... - Ow! It's... My whole body hurts! - I know. - OK.- OK. OK... I want you to put your arms on my shoulders and clasp your hands behind my neck. - OK. - And I'm gonna lift you on three. Ready? One, two, three. - Oh! God! - OK. It's all right. OK. - Oh! - Here we go! - Ow! - Here we go! Oh! - You're OK. You're OK. You got it! Breathe! - Oh! - Can you scoot yourself back? - When is my next pill? - Not for another 20 minutes. - OK, close enough. - Jill, your medication contains oxycodone. - Well, it's only 20 minutes. Ouch! I think I'll be OK. - My watch, my rules. - OK... - Can I get you something to drink? - Yes! I would love a glass of wine. [Chuckling] - You can't have alcohol with painkillers. - Well, I'm not operating any heavy machinery. I think I'll be OK. - I still think you shouldn't have alcohol with painkillers. - Sharon, I could really use a drink! - OK. I'll get you a glass of water. Here you go. - Oh, great! You changed your mind. - Oh, no, I didn't. - I thought you said you didn't drink. - It's been a long day. I know it's hard to find the positive, but if you hadn't come home, he would've taken all your art. And considering he had a knife, you're lucky you only got a broken leg and a concussion. - Thank you... for trying to warn me. - Huh? - You said you called out to me. - Yes. You would've done the same. - I like to think so. - I know so. [Sighing] - I'm not looking forward to trying to get up those stairs to my bedroom. - Oh, I wouldn't let you risk it, not until you're at least getting around on crutches. - You know, I... I do have a little pull-out bed in the den. - Great! I will go set it up. - Thank you. [Insects chirring] [Phone ringing] - Hey! - Hey! I can't see you! - Uh, yeah, um... the, uh, camera on my phone is broken. - No worries! - So, how was the drive? - Good. We, uh, we got here a few hours ago. Luke had a networking thing we just got back from. - You know, I'm just in the middle of something. - No problem! You can call me back. - OK, I'll call you in the morning, actually. - Sure! - OK, have a good night! - That was Amber? - Uh, yeah. Yeah, I... I asked her to call me when they got there to make sure they were safe. She's probably gonna call you in a minute. - You don't have to pretend that you two aren't close. - Thank you for sharing her with me. - I'm fine sharing her, Jill. I just won't lose her to you. That, I won't allow. OK, OK. Hold on! Hold on! [Grunting] And how's that? - You know, I'm in a lot of pain. - Mm-hmm. - I think I should have one more pill. - It's not time yet. - Just to help me sleep. - The dose is the dose. - Why are you taking that? - So I don't bump into it in the middle of the night when you call. Good night, Jill! [Jill moaning loudly in distance] - Oh! - Ah! Oh... [Exhaling loudly] [Jill continues moaning] Sharon! [Insects chirring] [Moaning softly] [Gasping] Sharon? Oh my God! - I just wanted to make sure you were OK. - I'm fine. - Night-night! Good morning! How'd you sleep? - Not great. The pain kept me up quite a bit. - Hmm... - Could I have my medication now? - Sure! With breakfast. How's your head? - It's fine. - You don't feel dizzy or nauseous? - No, can we just move this along so I can get my medication? - Of course. [Phone ringing] - It's Evan. - Have you told him what happened? - I told him I broke my leg, but I didn't tell him how it happened. [Sighing] Hi, honey! - Hey! How's the leg? - Oh, fantastic! Just about to go out for a run. - Any idea how long it'll be before you're back to work? - I don't know, but I don't think it'll be any time soon. - Why don't I just come to you? - Yes! That's a great idea. We can take care of some paperwork here and whatever else needs doing. - I'm sorry, Evan. Jill needs to rest. - And I need her to sign some things. - Are those things a matter of life and death? - Obviously not, Sharon! - Good. Then it can wait. Have a wonderful day. - Sharon, what's the big deal? I'm just gonna be sitting around all day anyway. - Jill, you have a severe concussion along with a broken leg. - Yes, I realize that. - Then you should realize you need to rest your body and your mind. Right? - Yeah. - Let's get you dressed. [Birds chirping] Here's some tea and some snacks. - Oh, thank you. - Mm-hmm! I'm just gonna pop out to the store and get a few things. Any requests? - Uh, no, I'm fine. - I won't be long. - [Man on TV]: What changes colour like magic... - Here's something to keep you company. ...and transforms regular drawings into magical works of art? - [Man and children]: Magic Pens! - Regular pens are a bore and make drawing a chore! Draw a face on a sun, because Magic Pens are super fun! [Phone dinging] Colour over with a white Magic Pen to change colours again and again! - Sharon! Sharon! - ...or decorate a butterfly's wings! With the eraser set, add flash to a rocket ship... [Sighing] [ Classical playing on radio ] ...and they easily wash away when you're done. With Magic Pens, the fun and creativity never stops! Just ask anyone, from parents to tots! Colour change and eraser sets sell in the high-end art stores for $30... [Sighing] ...and they're worth it! But order now, and you'll only pay $19.95! But that's not all you're gonna get! Call right now, and we'll also include the Magic Blow Pen! Instantly transform any marker pen into a dazzling air brush! A $15 value, yours free! [Sighing] And if that's not enough, we'll include... - Whatever gets on doesn't come off. You need the brush, but it comes with the brush. Sweep it down. You have garlic that spreads like butter. Spread it on steak before you barbecue it and fish before you bake it. Garlic toast's unbelievable! In mashed potatoes, it's fabulous. Ginger! Ginger cookers love this thing. Ginger's a pain, 'cause of the hairs... - Hello! - Where have you been? - Oh, I'm so sorry. The traffic was worse than I expected, and I don't know Boston very well, so I got completely turned around. - Well, you've been gone for hours. Is everything OK? - Fresh ginger with no hairs, no threads, no fibres... - No, everything's not OK. - Does fresh apple sauce for baby food or pork dishes, Parmesan cheese for Caesar salads or Italian dishes... [Grunting] - Don't worry, Jill. I deal with this sort of thing every day. [Sighing] [Sighing] OK, Jill, I need you to scoot to the middle of the bed. - Ow!- Good! - Oh! It must be time for my meds. - Jill, you need to take them with food. - Honestly, Sharon, do you have to be so by the book? - Yes, I do! - Why don't you trust me with my own medication? - I just want you to receive the same quality of care that you'd get if you were still in the hospital. Let's go. Just, we'll move you. - What is that? - It's a baby monitor. You can think of it as a call button. It's a good idea, right? - Actually, I think it's overkill. [Chuckling] - Sharon... My ankle's feeling a lot better. I'm hoping to be able to get around on my crutches. - The doctor doesn't want you to put weight on that for at least a few days. - I know. I just really wanna do things for myself. - OK. Let's try the crutches after breakfast. Breakfast is served! - Oh! Ah... You really don't have to go to so much trouble. - No, it's no trouble. As long as you're my patient, you get the very best care. - Thank you. - Oh, and I know you want these. [Chuckling] - Yes, I do. Thank you. - Take it slow. There... How's the ankle? - Uh, it feels a lot better, actually. - Oh! Well, that's encouraging! - I feel really dizzy though. - OK. Why don't you try and take a couple of steps on your own? - OK. - I'm gonna let you go. - Mm-hmm. Whoa! - Whoa, whoa, whoa! - OK, I, uh... - OK! - I think I better sit down. - All right. - Ah!- OK. - Just a couple more. Yep! And go back. There you go. - Why am I so light-headed? - Well, you're on a very strong pain medication. - I felt fine yesterday. - Well, that's because your body was in shock from the day before. The medication didn't hit you as hard. This is your body's way of telling you not to push it. - I guess. - I know. This is what I do. - Oh! Hi! - Hey! - I'm so happy to see you! - Hi, beauty! Oh! [Clicks tongue] - What are you doing here? - I'm here to visit Jill. - Well, you should've called. - I did. - I told Evan he could stop by so we could take care of some paperwork. - Oh. - I promise, I won't do anything too mentally taxing. [Chuckling] - OK. Can I get you anything to drink? You want some tea or coffee? - I'm fine. - Actually, I... Hi! Actually, I would love a coffee. One cream, two sugars. Thank you! - Of course! - She needs to chill out. [Whispering]: What? - Baby monitors are everywhere. - Why? - Because she's trying to keep tabs on me, like we're in a hospital and I'm her actual patient. - OK, she is behaving like an actual psycho! - I know. It's definitely a bit excessive. - I'm sorry, are you comfortable having someone like that take care of you? - She's not my first choice. - Look, I don't care what she says. I'm not going anywhere until your kids get back. - Thanks, baby. - Yeah! - Here you go! One cream, two sugars! - Thank you. Are you sure there's only two sugars? - Two heaping spoonfuls. - Oh. - OK, I'll let you two get back to work. If you need anything, just call. - Thank you. No, yes. Boring! I mean, there is Paris and there's London and there... We've just done and seen them all. I'm looking for something else. Hey, what about Antwerp? - [Evan]: Is it even called dating anymore? There's the one with the two different-coloured eyes. - Uh-huh. - The cat one. - Yeah, no, he's... We call him Bowie, right? - I mean, well, yes, he's Bowie-ish. He's... - Is he super thin? - Very thin. - Yeah? - Like, he's like a bookmark. - And does he... Is he English? - No. - Oh, he's not? - Oh, no, you're confusing him with... - Visiting hours are over. [Laughing] You need to go. [Sighing] - Uh, you're serious? - Yes. Jill has a concussion. She needs her rest. - Uh, w-would you like me to go? - You know, I am a little bit tired, so why don't you take the paperwork back to the gallery, I will have a rest, and then I'll see you here later, right? - Actually, yes, I do have some stuff to finish up at the gallery. And yes, I will drop by later to check up on you. Love you! - Love you! - Bye! - Now, let's get you more comfortable. You've had enough screen time for now. - But I just nd to send a quick email. - It can wait. - OK, you know what, Sharon? This playing nurse thing is cute, but... - I'm not trying to be cute, Jill. I am a nurse. - OK. Whatever. Oh! - Here. Let me. - Oh, no. It's OK. - Shhh! Just relax, really. [Inhaling deeply] - Mmm... Do you do this for all your patients? - Just family. When my husband was sick, this always made him feel better. - He had cancer, right? - He did. He was diagnosed when we were engaged. He wanted to postpone the wedding, but I wouldn't let him. Besides the day Amber was born, my wedding day was the happiest day of my life. Amber was 6 weeks old when he died. - Mmm... Must have been hard to lose him when you did. - It was. But it really was a blessing. He suffered for way too long. And nothing any of the doctors did could help with his pain. I used to pray to God every night to just give him some relief. And then one night, God answered me. It was like it came through my hands. - Ow... What did? - Mercy. - I'm not sure that I'm following you. - He died in my arms. It's the reason why I became a nurse. It's like it was my calling. [Coughing] And now, in his honour, I do whatever it takes to help my patients. [Doorbell ringing] - Uh... [Coughing] [Sighing] - Detective! - Good afternoon, Miss Vickers. I've got some mugshots I want you to look at. Do you mind if I come in? - No, not at all. - OK. - Please do. All these men have records? - Mm-hmm! Most of them are career criminals. Anyone look familiar? - That's him! - You sure? - Positive! - Do you recognize him? - I don't think so. - He pushed Jill from behind. - I know. And whoever broke in knew the alarm code. - What? - It was manually entered. - You said the wires were cut. - After it was disarmed. Your alarm company has electronic records down to the last second. - But why would someone go to the trouble of doing that? - To try and make it look like a random break-in. Who knows the code besides yourself? - Uh, Luke and Amber, my son and his fiance, Evan, my partner at the gallery... - And me. Maybe Luke told someone? - No, he wouldn't do that. - You told me that you've brought clients by. - Yeah. - Well, maybe one of them saw you entering it. - My clients don't look like that. - I'll bring him in for questioning. - Thank you. - I feel stir-crazy. - Well, being a patient requires patience. - Yeah, well, this patient could really use a shower, or at least washing my hair. - I can help you with that. - No, that's not what I was getting at. - I know. - No, honestly. Thank you, but... - Jill... Jill, it's gonna make you feel better. - I've been thinking about the break-in. When I came to, you told me that he left. - Yeah, that's right. - How did you know that? - I heard the door close. I assumed he'd left after he pushed you. - But how did you even know that? - Excuse me? - I mean, how did... How do you know I didn't just fall? - I didn't. You told me he pushed you. - Ow! Could you... Could you just finish up, please? - Of course. - Ah! You know what? I can do this. - I know! - You know what? Seriously, I... I... I got it. Sharon, my leg is broken, not my arms. - I was just trying to help. Why are you being so damn unappreciative? - I think you should go home in the morning. - Who would take care of you? - Evan can help. Amber and Luke will be back tomorrow night. I'll be fine until then. - Hmm... Well, that's some thanks for me rearranging my entire life to help you! [Phone ringing] - Hello? - Hey... Uh, I just wanted to let you know I'm not gonna be able to make back today. - Are you OK? - I think I have food poisoning. - Oh no! - I've been throwing up pretty much since I left. I just need to get home, lie down. - Yes, of course! - I'll call you later. - OK, babe. Feel better! - Thanks! - Give me your phone. - What? - You were dizzy this morning. You need to avoid all mental stimulation for at least another 24 hours. - OK, you know what? I just won't look at my phone. - I'm in charge until I leave tomorrow. Give it to me. - Well, I think confiscating my phone is a bit much. - Actually, I don't. As a matter of fact, you need to be in a dark room. - What? You're putting me to bed? - Yes. - No! You know what? No! I've been trying to keep my cool, but this is crazy! - Now you're calling me crazy? - I didn't say you are crazy. I'm saying this is crazy! - Give me your phone. - I promise I won't look at it. - Give it to me! - Sharon! Oh my God! How did you get your phone? You told the detective you left your phone in the guest room, and you came back to get it. - So? - But you also told him that you were tied up as soon as you came into the house. I saw you get yourself loose. You were by my side the entire time and in the ambulance with me, but you had your phone at the hospital. Oh, it was you. - I so wish you hadn't just said that! - What are you doing? What are you doing? Slow down! - No! - What are you doing? [Screaming, grunting] - Shut up! - Ah! - Shut up! This is all your fault! You brought this all on yourself! And remember, I can hear everything you do! [Moaning] Everything! [Moaning] [Jill moaning, screaming] [Panting] [Whispering]: Shut up! Shut up, shut up! [Phone ringing] Oh, Amber! - Hey! Just me again! Call me. [Phone beeping] [Grunting, moaning softly] - Ow! [Exhaling sharply] Ah! Oh... [Grunting] [Sighing] [Sighing] [Beeping in distance] [Footsteps approaching] - Didn't I say I could hear everything? [Sighing] [Sighing] [Machine whirring in distance] - Sharon! Sharon! I need my meds! [Loudly]: Ow! [Jill moaning loudly] Sharon, I really need a painkiller! Ah! [Moaning loudly] Ow! Sharon! I need my meds! [Moaning, screaming] [Alarm wailing] Help! [Muffled screams] [Alarm continues] [Screaming] - Shut up! You want something to scream about, huh? [Screaming] [Alarm stops] Shut up! [Moaning, screaming] [Grunting] - If you let me go, you have my word I won't say anything! - That means nothing coming from you! - Stop before you make things worse. - No! The worst thing that happens is Amber never speaks to me again. - There's no way out of this! - Yes, there is! You decided you wanted to sleep in your own bed. Without my knowledge, you climbed the stairs, fell and broke your neck! [Doorbell ringing] - [Screaming]: Help! - Shut up! - Help! - Shut up! - Aaah! [Doorbell ringing] - Detective, hi! Do you mind if we talk outside? Jill just fell asleep. She's been having a really hard time with everything. Is there something I can help with? - I tracked down the guy you ID'd. - Uh-huh... - He was in the Suffolk County Jail for the past 3 days. - So, there's no way it could be him? - No. - I guess, uh, I just wanted to figure out what happened to Jill so badly that, uh, my mind played tricks on me. - What happened to your neck? - Oh! [Chuckling] Um, I tried to pick up Jill's cat. It was a bad idea. - Just wanted to let you know we don't have a suspect. - OK. I'll let Jill know. - Mm-hmm. - Thank you. Good night! - [Jill screaming]: Help! Help! Ah! You're never gonna get away with this. Nobody's gonna believe I fell down the stairs. - Yes, they will. I'm gonna set the scene in the morning. [Gasping] Night-night! [Breathing heavily] [Line ringing] Hi, honey! - I've been meaning to call you. How was the drive to Cleveland? - Um... Actually, I'm still in Boston. - Really? - Yeah. Jill fell down the stairs and broke her leg. - When did this happen? - The morning you and Luke left. - Why did nobody call us? - It... Jill didn't wanna worry you. And... and you shouldn't worry. I'm... I'm... I am taking care of her. - So, she's OK. [Sighing] I'm not sure. I... I don't know her very well, but she just seems, I don't know, off. - What do you mean by that? - She's got a pretty bad concussion, and she is really dizzy, and she just seems confused. But... but she refuses to let me bring her back to the hospital. I'm really worried that she's taking more pain medication than she should. - Can't you manage them for her? - I'm trying. She won't let me! - Let me try speaking to her. - No, you can't! She made me promise not to say anything. - But we need to do something. - I know. So... [Sighing] Would you mind coming back early? - We're on our way. - Really? Oh! Honey, thank you! And just drive safely. [Gasping] [Sighing] You must be hungry. Trust me... you don't wanna die on an empty stomach, Jill. Fine. But I know you're thirsty. - [Evan]: Hello! [Gasping] [Door closing] - Don't say a word, Jill! Not a word! - Jill? Where's Jill? - She's taking a nap. - Well, I wanna see her. - You'll have to come back later. [Thumping] - What's that noise? - The washing machine. - [Muffled]: Help! Help! - I'm in charge. You need to go. - Get out of my way. Get out of my way! Jill! Where are you? - Help! - Jill! Where are you? - Help! - Jill! Oh my... Oh my God! - Evan! Call 911! - What? - You gotta call 911. Sharon's gonna kill me. She threw me over the railing. - OK, OK! - She's right behind you! [Screaming] What have you done? [Breathing heavily] [Sobbing] [Exhaling sharply] [Phone ringing] [Sighing] [Jill continues sobbing in distance] [Sniffling] [Exhaling slowly] You screwed up! You might've been able to explain what happened to me as an accident, but two bodies? If you were doing all of this to get Amber back... you just lost her! - She's not gonna find out. - What are you doing? - Shut up! - Where are you taking him? - Shut up! [Grunting] [Body thudding] [Grunting] - [Whispering]: Oh my God! Ah! Ah! Ah! [Grunting] [Grunting] [Rustling sound on baby monitor] [Moaning softly] [Grunting] [Both grunting] [Moaning] [Grunting] [Grunting, screaming] [Moaning] [Door opening] [Men and women laughing and wailing in distance] - Where's Amber? - Amber's never going to see you again. She asked me to bring you this. - They eloped! |
