Beauty from Pain (2025) Movie Script

[soft music playing]
[pilot over PA]Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to Wagga Wagga.
We do hope you enjoy your stay.
Hey
Adi.
- [chuckles]
- [Addison grunts]
[Laurelyn] We're here. [Laughs]
[Addison] Uh-huh.
- That went faster than expected.
- Yeah, I didn't sleep a wink.
- Too busy wondering if we're
- [grunts]
going to end up as shark food.
You should have taken
a happy pill.
[Laurelyn] Hmm.
[chuckles] Ben's so excited
to meet you.
Oh, don't even think
about encouraging him.
You know
I'm not interested in dating,
- which is why I'm here.
- Fine.
I'm just saying,
don't be surprised
if he tries something with you.
Addison. [Laughs]
I can't believe my little sister
has come all this way
- to see me.
- [Addison chuckles, chortles]
- [Ben chuckles]
- Hmm. Good to see you.
- And you must be Laurelyn.
- [Laurelyn] Indeed I am.
[chuckles] Oh oh oh
[Ben] Been hearing
about you for years.
Yeah, I hope my best friend
hasn't ruined
your opinion of me.
Never.
- [chuckles]
- [Laurelyn chuckles]
Are you going to introduce us
to your friend?
Zac. Very nice to meet you.
- Love your accent.
- Well, that's a first.
Hope your flight
wasn't too rough.
It was super. [Chuckles]
[chuckles]
You ladies keen to go out
for a drink tonight?
- Ready to go.
- Oh, uh. Let me take
["This Dj Vu" playing]
So sick of all the dj vu
I want to find my person too
[vocalizes]
Shiraz.
[crowd applaud, cheer]
[all] Do it! Do it! Do it!
[Laurelyn clears throat]
Um, I'm not from around here.
It's my first night
in Australia.
Live with me, I'll make you
feel right at home.
I don't know what kind
of music Australians like, but
This is one
of my favorites I've written.
["Fall Into You" playing]
A soft glowing ember
Floating with flare
Swiftly we're rising
And rising up
Barefooted in air
Moon-lit river
Silver in the dark
We move like the waters
Surrounding us
Tracing our hearts
So, let me fall
Fall in your arms
Whisk me away
Floating forever
Fall like a sky
Raindrops and all
Hold me close
While I fall into you
- [crowd cheer, applaud]
- Thank you.
[chuckles]
- [soft music playing]
- [indistinct chatter]
Do you know the girl
who just performed?
- [upbeat music playing]
- No.
It's yours if you can find out
what she's doing here
How long she'll be
in Wagga Wagga,
and if she's dating
either one of the blokes.
It's a beautiful life
It's a beautiful life
- [crowd applaud, cheer]
- ["Un Deux Trois" playing]
[waitress speaks indistinctly]
- Her name...
- I don't want to know her name.
Ben's sister is her best friend
and they've come
to stay with him for the summer.
She met Ben and Zac
for the first time today.
Find out what they're doing
Friday night.
I could play this game
all night.
[man] I got some bad habit
But you make me worth
I am not going nowhere
The guys
will be presenting their wines
at the vintage dinner at the uni
where they're studying.
The girls will be their guests.
Thank you.
[waitress] It's been a pleasure.
[indistinct chatter]
I don't wanna think too hard
Just ride the wave
Above the water
Easy like un deux trois
It's better with you
We're better together
- [chuckles]
- Excuse me. I
What? Do you want to dance?
Yeah, I'd love to.
I'm sorry, that's an expression
from where I'm from when
When two people try
to get around each other.
I'm familiar with it.
I think I would have enjoyed
a dance with you.
Easy like un deux trois
Keep it easy, babe
Like un deux trois
[birds chirping]
[bell tolling]
- [Addison] Looking good.
- Thanks!
I've never been
to a vintage dinner.
[Addison]
Think Zac will like this?
Oh, I think Zac
would like you in anything.
- Or nothing at all.
- [chuckles]
[Zac] I've played
for like six years,
- which is actually...
- [indistinct chatter]
Boys.
Yeah, no, help yourself.
Time to go.
- [Zac] Whoa.
- [upbeat music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
Dance with me.
[Laurelyn] Um, okay.
Oh, she seems
to be having a good time.
Zac doesn't appear
too unhappy either.
If I had to guess
I'd bet we've been
dropped for the night.
It's all right.
I, uh, I still have jet lag.
I'll probably go straight
to bed anyway. [Chuckles]
- Huh?
- Mr. Donovan,
I am sorry to disturb you, uh,
but we are having some trouble
finding your Merlot.
All of my vintages
were restored together.
This way, sir.
- I'll be right back.
- No hurry.
[mouths]
I'm fucking him tonight.
If I recall correctly,
I believe you own a dance.
Yeah.
I believe I do.
American.
[Laurelyn] Mm-hmm.
Every day and twice on Sunday.
What's a funny yank like you
doing in Wagga Wagga?
My best friend invited me
to spend the summer.
[Jack] Your accent.
I'm from the South.
I like it.
So, you just put
your life on hold?
Oh, I needed to step away
for a little while,
clear my head.
I'm afraid
I have to cut our dance short.
Will you join me for dinner
tomorrow night?
Yeah, I'd I'd like that.
May I send my driver
- Around 7:00?
- Um
Okay.
Oh, uh, 452 Stanton Street.
Wait, I didn't catch your name.
It'd be more fun
if you don't know it.
- Oh. [Chuckles] Hey.
- Hey.
- [dogs barking]
- [cicadas chirping]
- [thuds]
- [exhales deeply]
Adi, you scared
- the shit out of me.
- [Addison] Did you leave
the lights on for me?
[Laurelyn]
I thought you were at Zac's.
I was.
[Laurelyn] Did something happen?
No, but, uh, I don't want
to be that girl
- who wears out her welcome.
- [Laurelyn] Hmm.
But you'll be the girl
who lets him
wear out your vagina.
- [Addison] Laurie, that's crude.
- [chuckles]
But true. [Chuckles]
But he'll want me more if he has
to lie in bed thinking about me.
I saw you dancing
with a good-looking suit.
[chuckles] That was him.
- Guy I met at the club.
- What a coincidence.
And now he's asked me
to dinner tonight.
And he's sending his driver
to pick me up.
He must be rich.
What does he do?
- We didn't get that far.
- What's his name?
We didn't get that far either.
- [chuckles]
- [chuckles]
- [indistinct chatter]
- [soft music playing]
How did your friends'
vintages fare last night?
[Laurelyn] Ben did well, but
I never expected anything less.
Wine is his family's business.
You're more passionate
when it's your livelihood.
You know
I've spent the last hour
having dinner with you and
You still haven't told me
your name.
And why do you think
that could be?
You're married
With a wife and 2.5 kids?
I'm secretive,
but it has nothing to do
with being married.
It's just how I am.
Well, that explains everything.
[chuckles]
We're both going to be
in Wagga Wagga
for the next three months.
I'd like to see you
while you're here.
My life is complicated
for reasons I won't discuss.
When it comes to dating,
it needs to be simple
And undemanding.
Disclosing my identity
complicates things, so
You'll never know my real name.
When three months is up
So are we.
I'll move on
And you will too.
Because you don't know
any identifying information,
you won't be able to contact me.
Ever.
Well, that wouldn't be a problem
on my end, Jack.
[chuckles]
You'll be offered
the same courtesy, of course.
You don't have to tell me
your real name,
and you can choose how much
or how little you share
about your life.
You're crazy as hell.
But you already know that,
right?
The time spent with me
will be the best of your life.
Well, at least
you're not egotistical.
[Jack] I will make
your fantasies
A reality.
Sounds like you need an escort.
And I'm not that.
[Jack] I wasn't suggesting
you are.
Sex will just be part
of our relationship.
It'll be so much more than that.
Please call your driver
And ask him to take me home.
Have a nice life
Whoever you are.
[Jack] I'll be here tomorrow
8:00 p.m.
If you want to discuss
it further.
At the front.
Now.
[Laurelyn] It's bizarre, right?
[scoffing]
But
Might be sort of hot.
Um, the best three months
of your life
and fantasies coming true?
What's holding you back?
[Laurelyn] Hmm
It just seems pointless
to date someone
when I know it's going to end
in three months.
[exhales deeply]
You're overthinking it, Laurie.
The guy is rich,
and he promises you
the best three months
of your life.
- It's a no-brainer.
- [door knocks]
[Addison] Come in.
There's a delivery.
Flowers and a catered breakfast.
[Addison gasps]
Mimosas for breakfast?
Oh, fun!
"You won't regret saying 'yes.'"
"From Lachlan." [chuckles]
Laurie, this guy
is jockeying hard for you, girl.
Come on, you just met this guy.
Isn't this a bit much?
This is a guaranteed
panty-dropper in my book.
[Laurelyn] Addison.
He'll get over it.
So
What are you going to do?
[soft music playing]
[Jack] I wasn't sure
if you'd come.
Well, here I am.
Lachlan.
You look stunning.
I assume you've done this
before?
Never for longer than
three or four weeks.
Three months would be new to me.
And your issue with being
anonymous changed?
Lachlan's not my real name.
Oh.
Do you always have sex
with a woman who agreed
to a relationship like this?
[Jack] Yes.
You'd be surprised
at how quickly
our relationship progresses.
No silly pretense.
I won't feel like a stranger
for long.
You get to know the real me
Even if you don't know
my real name.
There's no pressure.
And it's fantastic.
Is it difficult when it's over?
We both know
how it's going to end.
So, there's no attachment.
And in all that time
I wouldn't meet
- your friends or family?
- [Jack] No.
Well, the only thing
I'm agreeing to
is spending time with you.
We'll see how things go
from there.
Well, I need something
to call you
Other than "American girl."
Paige
Beckett.
Lachlan Henry.
[chuckles]
- [Jack] So, Miss Beckett
- [Laurelyn] Mm-hmm.
how old are you?
- Seventeen.
- [Jack] What?
Oh, I'm very mature for my age.
Uh, you're not even old enough
to drink that wine.
- Well, I don't mind.
- [Jack chuckles]
- I'm almost twice your age.
- I've daddy issues.
- [chuckles]
- [chuckles]
- [laughs]
- Uh-huh.
- Well played.
- [Laurelyn] I'm 22.
- [Jack] Uh-huh.
- Uh-huh.
At least until
the groundhog comes out
in search of his shadow.
So [exhales sharply]
are you studying
or do you have a profession?
Musician.
I heard you at the club
the other night.
You're very talented.
Thank you.
Yeah,
it was a very big coincidence
that we ended up
at the same vintage dinner.
[Jack] Hmm.
I don't believe in coincidence.
[Laurelyn] So, that's why
the waitress was so damn nosy.
I also arranged
for your friend's wine
to temporarily go missing.
- [Laurelyn] Oh.
- [Jack] Mm-hmm.
[Laurelyn]
Master of manipulation.
Determination.
So, what do you do
in the wine industry?
My employer owns
a couple of wineries
across Australia
and New Zealand.
I travel. Oversee the business.
[Laurelyn] Do you have family?
Yeah.
I visit them
between vineyards sometimes.
How about you?
Just my mom and me.
[Jack] What about your old man?
Long story.
Got nowhere to be.
My mom was a rising musician
when she got pregnant with me.
Sperm donor was
a famous country music star.
They met when she
was signed with this label.
His wife didn't take well
to finding out
about his pregnant mistress
since she was pregnant too.
So, I have a half-brother,
I've never met.
I wasn't joking when I said
I had daddy issues.
[Jack] So, that's why you asked
if I was married.
[Laurelyn] Hmm.
It's just one of the reasons.
You want to get out of here?
Sure.
Thanks for the flowers
and breakfast.
Addison and I were drunk
by 10:00. It was great.
- [chuckles]
- No worries.
So, what do you think
of Australia so far?
I like it. But
I can't get used
to the idea of Christmas
during summer.
Are you going to spend it
with your family?
Yes.
[Laurelyn chuckles]
Look at that.
It's a Martin D-45.
- I take it that's good?
- Yeah.
Why don't you have one?
Hmm, because it costs
about 12 grand.
Plus, I have my mom's guitar
to get me by
until I can afford one.
She's never told me so,
but I think the sperm donor
gave it to her.
Sometimes I catch her playing it
and it looks like
she's been crying.
I'll have a Martin one day.
- [Jack] What's wrong?
- It's just really hurting.
- [Jack] Hmm.
- [chuckles, sighs]
This seems
a little over the top.
I don't want you to be in pain.
I think I could have managed
a few steps to the car.
- Not a chance.
- [chuckles]
[Jack] If you say yes
I'll pamper you
every day like a princess.
Do you always wear a suit?
[Jack] When I have meetings.
I'll be suit-less
for the next couple of days.
I want you to come out
to the estate
where I'm staying tomorrow.
I'd like to give you a tour.
Okay.
- Knock that shit off, Addison.
- [Addison grunts]
[door knocks]
- [sighs]
- [sighs]
We have another delivery
from him.
[yawns] Oh, maybe he sent
breakfast again?
I'm starving.
[exhales heavily]
[chuckles]
Lachlan has a problem at work,
so seems I'm free for the day.
Why'd he send you a new phone?
You already have one.
My phone's been acting up
ever since we got here.
[Addison] Whatever.
- Let's go shopping.
- [soft music playing]
[Jack exhales deeply]
[Clyde] Sorry to have to
drag you out here for this.
[Jack sighs]
Goes with the territory, Clyde.
Can we survey the damage?
[Clyde] Oh, lots of people
worked to put the fire,
so the investigator doesn't want
any further contamination
of the scene.
He has a reason to believe
it was arson.
The fire investigator should be
here shortly with an update.
[Jack sighs] Thank you.
I'll be here.
[cellphone buzzes]
[Laurelyn]Good morning, Mr. Henry.
Good morning, Miss Beckett.
[Laurelyn]Wondering how I knew it was you.
[Jack] Oh, could it possibly be
because I'm the one
who sent you the phone
and I'm the only one
with the number?
Hmm, possibly.
You solve your problem
at the vineyard yet?
Ah, yes and no.
There was a fire last night,
so the imminent danger is over.
Luckily there's no injuries,
but I'm waiting
for the investigator to tell me
what happened.
I was hoping to get
a rain check on our plans.
- Possibly tomorrow?
- [Laurelyn] Hmm
I'll have to check
my social calendar.
I can work you in.
I'll pick you up at 10:00.
I'll be waiting.
[Jack] Uh, no pressure,
but my schedule's clear
till Thursday evening.
I'd like you to spend
a few days with me.
I'm eager to get the
Stranger anxiety behind us.
And move on to the fun stuff.
[investigator] Well,
I don't need to see the results
to tell you
this was definitely arson.
There's accelerant
all over the scene.
So you might want to be thinking
about who your enemies are.
I'll do that.
They could try this again.
[Laurelyn] Hey, for Christmas
are we cooking at the apartment?
About that,
don't freak out, but
- What?
- Zac wants to take me home
for Christmas.
So I can meet his family.
Addison.
Oh, you're not leaving me
by myself with Ben.
You know how he's been
ever since I met Lachlan.
You don't think Lachlan
will invite you home
with him for Christmas?
We don't know each other
well enough.
You and Zac are different, okay?
We've only been
on a couple of dates.
Wear this for him
and I guarantee
you'll get an invite
for the holidays.
Or a marriage proposal.
Yeah, well,
I'm not looking for either.
Though, he has asked me to spend
the next few days with him.
And nights.
- [chuckles]
- ["By the Moonlight" playing]
Well, that sounds
a little more serious
than a couple of dates.
You ain't just got me
By the moonlight
The moonlight
You got me crazy
But I hold tight, I hold tight
Yeah, girl, I am all right
Dancing through the night
And talking till the sunlight
Waiting for the friends
Yeah - You ain't just got me by
[Jack] Miss Becket,
welcome to Avalon Vineyard.
[Laurelyn] Your boss must think
a lot of you to put you up
in a place this nice.
[Jack chuckles]
You could say that.
You ain't just got me
By the moonlight
[Laurelyn] Thank you.
[Jack] Since you don't know
if you're staying,
do your bags come inside
or stay in the boot?
I think it's fine to
Take 'em to the guest room.
Very nice.
I can't take credit.
Mrs. Porcelli packed
the lunch for us.
[Laurelyn] Who is Mrs. Porcelli?
She does the cooking
and the housekeeping.
Will I get to meet her
or does she fall
into the identifying information
category?
I haven't decided yet.
But it won't be today.
She's already gone home
for the holidays.
[Laurelyn]
She doesn't live in Wagga Wagga?
No.
She's, uh, employed,
like Daniel.
They go where I go.
So, Daniel's on vacation
as well?
It's just the two of us.
Alone.
So, no one's around
to hear my screams?
Now you're catching on.
[Laurelyn] Do you play?
No, not a note.
The interior designer thought
it'd be a pretty piece
to fill the void.
[piano plays]
I'd like to hear you play.
We'll see.
If you do decide to stay
in the guest bedroom
and you get scared in that
big lonely bed by yourself
This is where you'll find me.
Next stop?
You're welcome to use
this gym whenever you like.
Exercise equipment bores me.
- [Jack] Really?
- [Laurelyn] Hmm.
[Jack] So, what kind of exercise
do you like?
Um
- Pole dance.
- [chuckles]
- Like a stripper?
- It's not what you imagine.
It's a beautiful art form
when it's done tastefully.
It's a hell of a workout.
[inhales sharply] Use muscles
you didn't know you had.
[chuckles]
So, you've never danced on stage
with fuck-me pumps
- For a bunch of horny bastards?
- [Laurelyn chuckles]
You say that like you're
pretty familiar with the scene.
- I'm pleading the Fifth.
- That's an American amendment.
- Don't work for Australians.
- You didn't answer the question.
Neither did you.
[Jack chuckles]
I may have seen a
Stripper on a pole once.
- Maybe twice.
- [Laurelyn] Hmm.
- [Jack] Hmm.
- Yes and no.
- [Jack] Yes to
- No, I've never danced on stage.
But, yes
I wear pumps
When I dance.
What am I going to do with you?
I believe the answer
to that question
Remains to be seen.
- [soft music playing]
- [birds chirping]
Tell me how you got
into the wine business.
That's what my dad did.
- And it makes you happy?
- I'm paid quite well.
And I meet interesting people
In my travels.
What about having a family?
Uh, don't you want
to have a wife and children?
No wife wants to be
on a part-time basis.
That's what a marriage to me
would be like.
I watched my mom raise
three kids on her own.
My dad's great, but
He was never at home.
I ain't doing that.
That's a selfless way
of thinking.
[chuckles]
It just proves
that you don't really know me.
But what
about Miss Paige Beckett?
[Laurelyn chuckles]
She see a band of gold
in her future?
Yeah, I want to get married
and have kids one day.
At least two, because it sucks
being an only child.
It'd be hard to juggle
with the music career.
Yeah, I never said I had
all the details worked out.
Anyway, there's plenty
of time for that.
I want to know more
about this place.
[soft music playing]
[handbrake ratcheting]
Where are we?
You're going to appreciate this.
Well, this is incredible.
[Jack] This is the wine cave.
["Flowers" playing]
I can't stand it any longer.
[breathes heavily]
I need to touch you.
- [breathes heavily]
- [breathes heavily]
It's like we're in a dream
[Jack] You haven't given me
an answer yet.
I want you to tell me yes.
Be mine while you're here.
[Laurelyn exhales heavily]
Tell me, Paige.
Yes.
Yes, what?
Yes, I'm yours.
Cause then I caved, into this
Heaviness with you
Ran ahead in the haze
In the fog too soon
For a moment we left it
Hung by a thread
The flowers I kept
They were all never meant to
last In this room
Been treading water love
One day
It will weigh us down
It's hanging like a cloud
Tell me again.
I am yours.
Over me over us
[moans]
Was always hit and miss
I end falling up like this
It could be the right time
[Laurelyn moans]
Cause something's in the water
From our past life
[Laurelyn moans]
And I can drink it up
While we're chasing light
'Cause then I caved,
into this
[exhales heavily]
Caveman.
- You won't regret saying yes.
- [Laurelyn chuckles]
[Laurelyn] This, like us
I get it now.
Why it works. Because
There's no pretenses
and clear expectations.
I don't feel pressured
to be anything but me. And
I have no worries about what
the future holds, because
I already know.
Exactly.
I have tickets
to Madama Butterfly
in Sydney in February.
Will you go with me?
- That sounds like fun.
- [cellphone ringing]
Oh
- It's my mom. [Chuckles]
- [cellphone key clicking]
- Hi, Mom.
- [Jolene] Hi, baby girl.
Haven't heard from you
in a few days.
I'm sorry, I should
have called already.
[Jolene] You having fun
in the land Down Under?
Yeah, Australia's great so far.
Yeah.
You thought any more
about what we discussed?
I've told you already.
I'm not doing that and I'm
not going to change my mind.
[Jolene]Your father owes you, Laurelyn.
You are Jake Beckett's daughter
And you should use
that to your advantage.
[Laurelyn] No,
I'm Jolene Prescot's daughter
and I make my own way.
I love you, Mom.
We'll speak next week.
I'm hanging up now.
[cellphone rattles]
Do you want to talk about it?
She wants to threaten
my sperm donor with going public
about my paternity
In exchange
for him giving me a record deal.
Please don't think my mom
is a terrible person.
Okay, she's not.
I don't think
she's a terrible person.
She just wants to see
her daughter succeed.
[Jack clears throat]
["Let Me Down" playing]
[moans]
[moans]
[Jack] Uh [exhales sharply]
But every time
I fall back into you
Singing
Oh, my soul spinning
It ain't easy to find
Don't let me down easy
You're never gonna see me
Falling behind
Oh, my soul
Spinning out of control
Don't let me down gently
- [pants]
- [pants]
[birds chirping]
Morning.
Good morning.
[chuckles]
- Want a coffee?
- [clicks tongue]
I only drink flavored coffee
with lots of creamer
and sweetener.
Ends up being like a dessert.
I do juice, though. You got any?
[inhales sharply] Uh, yeah,
I should have some
- in the fridge.
- [Laurelyn] Mm-mm.
I'll get it.
How about bacon
and egg sandwich?
[Jack] A sanger for brekkie
sounds good.
"Sanger for brekkie".
- [upbeat music playing]
- [chuckles]
[cellphone ringing]
[Jack] Hmm.
- [Jack] Hey, Mom.
- Good morning, Jack Henry.
- Hey, don't. You you cooked.
- It's okay.
Who are you talking to?
- I have a guest.
- [Margaret] Oh, a female guest?
Are you bringing her home
for Christmas tomorrow?
No.
[Margaret] I want to meet her.
That's not that kind
of relationship, Mom.
And it never will be if you
just said that in front of her.
Okay, I think you're calling
about Christmas plans?
[Margaret]Everyone will be here at 1:00
and will eat at 2:00.
- Please consider bringing her.
- Love you, Mom.
Love you, darling.
Sorry about that.
You have nothing
to be sorry about.
[Jack] Hmm.
There are some vines
I'm going to check on today.
Do you want to come with me?
I'd love to.
[soft music playing]
Here. I want to show you.
[speaks indistinctly]
I see why your boss
pays you well.
Show me more.
[chuckles]
[indistinct chatter]
Open your eyes.
I have a surprise for you.
If you've been a good boy.
And if I've been bad?
No.
You still get a present.
[Jack exhales deeply]
Get on your stomach.
[gasps]
Sit back.
[Laurelyn moans]
[Jack moans]
[Laurelyn moans]
[Jack] No one else touches you.
Except me.
You understand?
I understand. [Moans]
We may only have
a few months together.
[exhales deeply]
But you're mine
While you're here.
I'm not going to share you
with Ben Donovan
Or any other man.
What brought this on?
I have to take you back to him
tomorrow.
[chuckles] You mean to the place
where I live
with my best friend?
That is shared by a man
who wants you in his bed.
It doesn't matter
if he wants me or not.
I want you.
[soft music playing]
[woman chuckles]
I want to hear
about your girlfriend.
[Jack] She's not my girlfriend.
But she's American.
So, she doesn't live
in Australia?
No, she's on an extended trip
with a friend.
So, she won't be returning
to the States soon?
Not for a while.
- That's good.
- [Jack] Mm-hmm.
What does she do?
She's a musician.
A very good one.
That's how we met.
[chuckles] I heard her sing.
Of course you did.
[seagulls mewing]
- [indistinct chatter over TV]
- [cellphone ringing]
- [soft music playing]
- Oh, hey, caveman.
This is a pleasant surprise.
[Jack] Well, I hope you think
the same way
- in a couple of minutes.
- [doorbell ringing]
Pack a bag.
You're coming with me.
- [Jack] No peeking.
- I'm not.
- And keep your eyes closed.
- Okay.
- Can I open them yet?
- [Jack] No.
You can open them.
[chuckles]
You got me a gift?
Open it.
- Oh, but I didn't get you one.
- Oh, come on, open it already.
[Laurelyn gulps]
Okay, you have to tell me
what you're thinking.
It's beautiful.
I can't accept it.
Don't think about
how much it costs.
I bought it
because I want you to have it.
[guitar playing]
Yeah, it looks good on you.
Thank you.
And thank you
for coming back for me.
[Jack] You're so welcome.
[kisses]
- [chuckles]
- [chuckles]
[Laurelyn exhales deeply]
Oh, Lachlan
[exhales deeply] Oh, Lachlan.
- [breathes deeply]
- [breathes deeply]
[Jack] Tell me what you want me
to do to you.
I want you to
Fuck me.
Say it like you mean it.
Fuck me, Lachlan.
- [breathes heavily]
- [breathes heavily]
- [moans]
- [moans]
[Laurelyn] Harder. Harder.
[moans]
[Jack moans]
- [Jack] Hey, wait.
- [Laurelyn] Hmm.
[Jack] Hey...
Yeah... wait... What?
The condom broke. Fuck!
You're on the pill, right?
- Yes, same time every day.
- [Jack] Yeah When when
- When's your period?
- Uh, Tuesday.
[Jack] We're not using
any more of these in case
- these are all defective.
- Hey, hey, hey. It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
- Hey, I've got us covered. And
- [speaks indistinctly]
and, you know, we
we've both been tested.
- [breathes deeply]
- Yeah.
Hey, you want me
to play you something?
[sighs]
Yeah.
Yeah, that'd be nice.
Okay.
["Used to Believe" playing]
They say love's
Just a fairy-tale
A dream you outgrow
The flame That ignites in us
Fades in a spell
that's just how it goes
They talk about
How they lost
And wear their scars
like war wounds
And how happily ever after
Is far from the truth
I used to believe
That sparks fly
When two hearts find a way
Used to believe
It stops time
Every time you hear them say
You're the one that I adore
The one I know
My heart can trust
[vocalizes]
So, I am not giving up
On love
[Laurelyn]
Oh, before we buy the condoms,
do you mind if we swing
by the apartment?
I didn't pack enough clothes.
[Jack] Sure thing.
- [Addison] Hey!
- Hi. Addison.
Lachlan. Lachlan. Addison.
So, you're the man
who's been keeping
my best friend busy.
- Guilty.
- [Addison chuckles]
She, uh, says you're
in the wine business.
My family has a vineyard
in California.
- It can be brutal.
- I'll drink to that.
Okay, well, I'm gonna
let you bond over the woes
of wine making. [Grunts]
I'm gonna go grab some things.
[Addison] Please don't hurt her.
Laurelyn told me
about your little agreement,
and I'm fine with it. Just
Don't make her
fall in love with you.
She's been hurt enough.
No worries.
Laurelyn and I
are on the same page.
[soft music playing]
- [gasps]
- [Jack clears throat]
Did you buy
the entire inventory?
[Jack] Well, I don't want
to get stuck without a back-up.
If you don't get your period
before I leave,
can you call me
and tell me when you do?
No, I'm not looking
to get pregnant.
You and me both.
Can I call you Laurelyn?
How did you
Addison?
I want to call you
by your real name.
Well, you shouldn't know
my real name
if I don't know yours.
There are very
legitimate reasons.
Well, that's not fair.
There's no point pretending
to be Paige
when you know I'm not.
I guess you're getting
what you want.
Again.
Thank you
Laurelyn.
Well, you're not welcome.
And you're not getting
my real last name.
[Jack chuckles]
- Fair enough
- [seat-belts clicking]
Laurelyn.
What's on your mind?
I was just wondering
When you're back home
And you're a huge success
You ever write a number-one song
about us?
I hope not.
- Why not?
- [clears throat]
Because the best songs come
from the heart.
The emotions you feel
must be one extreme
or the other.
I'd have to be desperately
in love or devastatingly hurt.
[Jack] Have you
ever experienced either?
I've never been
desperately in love, but
I've been hurt.
I don't think you'd have one
without the other.
Because you've experienced both?
No.
I've never been in love,
so no one's ever hurt me.
You've never even thought
you might be in love?
Never.
Have you?
Once.
I was dead wrong.
Did you ever dance for him?
I never even told him I did it.
I want to show you something.
I want you to dance for me.
And wear this while you do it.
["Lipstick" playing]
You like it better
With my lipstick off
You got a taste
And you can't get enough
Against the wall
Oh, I want more
You know you like it
With the top down low
The air gets thick
And then we're good to go
Let's take a ride
Oh, I am feeling alive
You know it, I feel it
You want this, you need it
This time
You got it
So take it, I need it
We'll make this our night
You pull me closer
When I start to run
You like it better
When it's one on one
I come undone
And then we're on
I know it, I feel it
You want this, you need it
This time
You got it
So take it, I need it
- You can't touch the dancer.
- My private dancer.
Oh, I am
Much more than that.
I know it, I feel it
You want this, you need it
This time
[moans]
You got it
So take it, I need it
We'll make this our night
You like it better
With my lipstick off
In the darkness
You can't get enough
- [breathes heavily]
- [breathes heavily]
Yeah, yeah. Don't stop.
[screams, exhales heavily]
[chuckles, exhales heavily]
- [pants]
- [pants]
I've never come
so hard in my life.
Me either.
[chuckles]
- [pants]
- [pants]
[birds chirping]
I tell you, it's glyphosate
poisoning, Mr. McLachlan.
We don't use glyphosate here.
This was brought in
and done on purpose.
[Jack] I agree.
Thank you, Clyde.
Jim.
Jack McLachlan here.
I need you to find something
for me fast
[door opens]
[Audrey] Hello, Jack.
[Jack] Hello, Audrey.
Please, come in.
To reunions.
[glass thudding]
I didn't ask you here for that.
[Audrey exhales sharply]
I can change your mind.
I'm afraid you can't.
[scoffs]
You remember how much
you love being in my mouth.
There's someone else.
I'm the only one
who knows you, Jack.
You might know who I am
But you'll never be the one
for me.
[scoffs] This new girl
doesn't even know your name.
She's just another nobody
to you.
I'm right, aren't I?
Just another one
of your fake relationships.
I know you started
the fire at Chalice.
And poisoned the vines
in Marguerite
I'm here to give you
the courtesy of a warning.
Do not fuck with me, Audrey.
Jack
Get the fuck out.
[scoffs]
You're gonna regret
what you've done to me.
Hey, caveman.
Normally, I'm not all
that excited about this. But
I just got my period.
[Jack] That's great.
Did you solve your problem
at the vineyard?
Yeah, there are a couple
of issues, but
I'll have them
under control soon.
Hey, and you staying
until New Year's Day?
I'm afraid I will be.
Will you be spending
New Years Eve with Addison?
[Laurelyn] Addison and Zac
are going to the The Blues Club.
They've invited me.
It's open mic night again.
So, how do I get
to see you sing?
It's late.
I should probably
let you get some sleep.
[Laurelyn]Good night, Mr. Henry.
-[Jack] Good night, Laurelyn
-[soft music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
[Laurelyn] Everybody ready
to ring in the New Year?
- [crowd applaud, cheer]
- ["Masterpiece" playing]
Every breath that you take
Is a note in a symphony
Every word that you say
Is a poem you sent for me
Like the swell of a string
I melt when you speak to me
Such an art,
Hold me close to your heart
I'm yours to keep
I'll be your canvas
You'll be my painter
Every curve you trace
It feels like destiny
You'll be the stage
And I'll be your dancer
Caught in emotion
It's poetry to me
Truly a masterpiece
A masterpiece, oh
[crowd applaud, cheer]
[chuckles]
[upbeat music playing]
Amazing, love! You did so well!
[Laurelyn] I thought
it was really similar to the one
you did the other day.
- The other one you did...
- [Jack] Hey you.
[chuckles] I thought
you wouldn't be back
till tomorrow.
I didn't want anyone else
kissing you at midnight.
[all]
Five. Four. Three. Two. One
Happy New Year!
- [crowd cheer, applaud]
- [soft music playing]
[exclaims]
[Laurelyn chuckles]
Come home with me.
- I still need to get my things.
- Fuck your things.
[chuckles]
[Ben] You know, you're like
I'm gonna give you
Six stars. Because you
[grunts] are awesome.
Six stars.
[breathes roughly]
Don't go. Don't go with him.
I'm going with him, Ben.
It's not your call.
[car alarm beeps]
[Ben] You are nothing
but a whore to him.
- [Laurelyn sobs]
- [Jack] What did he do to you?
- What the fuck did you do?
- [Laurelyn] Let's go, please.
[Jack grunts]
You're not staying
with him anymore.
I'll get you your own apartment.
[Laurelyn]
I can't let you do that.
Then you're staying with me.
[Laurelyn] Yeah.
Okay. I will.
[birds chirping]
- Hello Oh, hi.
- [Mrs. Porcelli chuckles]
- Miss Beckett?
- Mm-hmm. Yes.
- I'm Mrs. Porcelli.
- Oh.
May I cook you something
for breakfast?
Yeah, thank you. Well, I
If you'll excuse me, I'll
- I'll be right back. Hmm.
- Of course, dear.
- Mm-hmm.
- [chuckles]
[chuckles]
Oh, you scared
the shit out of me!
Stop. [Chuckles]
- I was thinking something more
- Mm-hmm.
along the lines of this.
[Laurelyn] Oh, no, you don't.
[laughs]
- Why not?
- Uh, I just met Mrs. Porcelli,
and she's making me breakfast.
- I'll be quick. I'll I'll be...
- It's gonna be rude
- not to mention awkward
- I'll be quick. I'll be quick.
If I don't go back out.
- We'll be quick.
- No.
Oh, she's gonna see it
written all over my face.
She's already gonna know
I'm the latest one.
- You're latest what?
- [Laurelyn] I don't know.
Companion or whatever
it is she calls us.
She doesn't know
about the others.
You're the first she's met.
- [soft music playing]
- Where'd you take them?
Hotels.
- Oh.
- [Laurelyn chuckles]
[Laurelyn gasps]
[oil sizzles]
[inhales deeply]
Smells delicious.
Thank you.
May I pour you some coffee?
Oh, I'll have juice,
- but I can get
- [Mrs. Porcelli] I'm happy
to get it for you, dear.
- [Laurelyn] Thank you.
- Please.
Oh, I can do that
when I'm finished.
Miss Beckett.
Relax and enjoy.
Please call me Laurelyn.
[Mrs. Porcelli] Okay. Laurelyn.
So, how long
have you worked for, um
Uh, Mr., uh
I I call him
Mr. McLachlan, dear.
[chuckles] Many years.
For the family.
- Mr. McLachlan. [Chuckles]
- [water splashing]
Wonder what
Mrs. Porcelli thinks of you
- never bringing a woman home?
- [chuckles]
- She probably thought I was gay.
- [Laurelyn chuckles]
Until you turned up
in her kitchen.
Barely wearing enough
to cover this.
[Laurelyn laughs]
[Mrs. Porcelli]
I thought you might be hungry.
[Laurelyn chuckles]
- Thanks, Mrs. Porcelli.
- [Laurelyn laughs]
- [exhales heavily]
- [exhales heavily]
I had a late breakfast, but
I can eat again.
- You and your late brekkies.
- [chuckles]
You sleepyhead.
[Laurelyn laughs]
Oh, I'm gonna get you.
Forget it.
No, no, no! Don't! [Squeals]
[breathes roughly, coughs]
What's wrong?
[soft music playing]
[Jack] I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to
Upset you.
My mom was an addict
when I was a kid.
Painkillers, sedatives
Whatever she could get.
I was eight when I found her
passed out in the bathtub.
I tried to pull her out, but
Every time I got her face
above the water,
she'd take a breath
and slip back in.
She pulled me in and under her,
and I was drowning, and
[sniffles]
Yeah, I'll never forget
what it felt like.
Knowing I was about to die.
[Jack] How did you not drown?
I pulled the plug
from the drain.
Took a while, but
[sniffles]
[Jack]
What happened to your mom?
Nearly killing us both
was her wake-up call.
And she got clean.
And she has been
for nearly 15 years.
Never told anyone.
[Jack] That's not the kind
of thing you keep a secret.
Yeah, I learned to keep secrets
at an early age.
I would've been taken away
from her if I told.
Maybe you should've been.
[sniffles]
No she...
We survived.
And she went to rehab
that night.
[stutters] We're okay.
[sniffles]
Feels good.
Telling you.
["See You Soon" playing]
What?
Thank you for saying yes.
To what?
To us.
Well, thank you for choosing me.
And stealing a dance with me.
Our dance was cut short.
I'd very much like to finish it.
[Laurelyn chuckles]
There's no more goodbyes
I built it all with you
I wish I could fly
Give it all to you
See you soon
Oh
See you soon
There's been days
When I've lost myself
Sorry, I should've noticed
you were burning.
[exhales sharply] Don't worry.
I'll be turning brown
by the morning.
[cellphone ringing]
Hey, Mom.
I have been calling for hours.
Have you not checked your phone?
What's happened?
[Jolene] I can't believe
you haven't heard.
It's been all over the news.
Jared Beckett
Was killed
in a skiing accident today.
And this is emergency news
for me because
Because he's your brother,
Laurie.
- Whom I've never met.
- He's your father's son.
Again, whom I've never met.
You need to come home.
You need to pay
your condolences, Laurie.
I'm not part of their family.
[Jolene] Your father
is gonna want to know you.
Um
I'm not coming home
for this, Mom.
- Hanging up now.
- No.
You must think
even worse of her now.
Oh, she doesn't make
the top ten list
of my favorite people today.
- [Laurelyn] Hmm.
- [chuckles]
But you on the other hand
Are my number one spot.
I wish I didn't have
to leave you tomorrow.
[birds chirping]
- [Evan] There he is.
- [Margaret] Hey.
[Chloe] Happy birthday!
Hey, mate. Hey.
- [woman 2] Happy Birthday.
- Thank you.
- What's up?
- [soft music playing]
[Margaret]
Darling, oh, Laurelyn?
Oh, she's, uh, unwell.
["Beauty From Pain" playing]
Clock ticks out
On another love
Found at a crossroads
Tears fall but they water
What's meant to grow
You left her alone?
Chin up now gotta one way
flight
Uh, shall we?
Tell me, should I be glad
That we let it go?
Round and round
These endless thoughts
A tale of love
A tale of loss again
[Mrs. Porcelli] Hmm.
Dinner's on the stove,
Laurelyn, so I'm leaving.
[Laurelyn]
Thank you, Mrs. Porcelli.
It's a lovely song.
Thank you.
I hope you're not the only one
who thinks so.
[clicks tongue, inhales sharply]
The song is about Mr. McLachlan.
[Laurelyn] Is it that obvious?
- Have you played it for him?
- No, I can never.
I think you should reconsider,
dear.
He'd love it.
[chuckles]
Well, I should choof off,
- as they say.
- [chuckles]
- Have a good evening.
- [Laurelyn] Bye.
I am not giving up
I don't go down
When the going gets tough
There's nothing stronger
Than the will to push
And make things better
And I broke through them all
Don't fit in
Oh, so I am told
But I live my life no need...
[Laurelyn exhales sharply]
[Audrey]
That's a beautiful song.
Goes really well
with the slow spins,
but not that upside-down thing.
Oh. The Jade Split?
It's an invert.
I wouldn't know.
I'm not a stripper.
He's not here.
Honey
You don't even know
his name, do you?
I left him at his parents' house
because I want to get
a few things straight.
[chuckles] I'm sorry. You
You seem to know me, but
- I don't know you.
- [dramatic music playing]
I'm Audrey.
His wife.
You didn't know, did you?
What's your name?
Laurelyn.
[Audrey] What a pretty name.
You can understand
why I have to ask you
to stop seeing my husband.
[Laurelyn]
You don't need to ask.
So, you won't call him on
the phone he gave you?
You'll leave
and never come back?
First thing in the morning
before he comes back.
[Audrey] Thank you, Laurelyn.
My husband has a problem.
But I'm willing
to work through it
for the sake of our children.
[somber music playing]
[sniffles]
- Hey, what are you doing?
- [exhales deeply]
I'm leaving.
Why?
Your wife, Audrey,
- she paid me a visit.
- Uh
- She she's not my wife.
- [Laurelyn] Hmm.
- I've I've never been married.
- [sniffles]
- Hey
- Don't!
[cellphone keys clicking]
[cellphone ringing]
- Hello?
- [Jack] Hi, Mom.
Sorry, I know it's late
and this is going
to sound crazy, but, um
Am I married?
[Margaret]What are you talking about, son?
Have I ever been married?
No. What's this all about?
[Jack]
It's just a misunderstanding.
Uh, Laurelyn needed to hear it.
He's not married, dear,
but I'd sure like him to be.
How are you feeling?
- [cellphone key clicking]
- I told her you couldn't come
- because you had the flu.
- [cellphone key clicking]
Much better, ma'am.
[chuckles] Thank you for asking.
Sorry for calling, Mom.
- Night.
- [exhales sharply]
[Henry]
Is everything all right, dear?
Yeah.
I don't know you.
You you know me better
than anyone.
Who was she?
Previous companion?
She'd been stalking me
For
Three years.
Because I travel, she finds
it hard to keep track of me,
so she causes mischief
at the vineyards to draw me out.
This was her way of proving
that she can fuck
with my personal life.
[soft music playing]
- [breathes deeply]
- [breathes deeply]
- [chuckles]
- [chuckles]
Morning.
- Huh?
- [chuckles]
You'd be leaving me right now
if I hadn't come home early.
[chuckles]
We have two more months
together.
Please don't plan to leave
unless it's a mutual decision.
Yeah, I promise.
[Jack exhales heavily]
What do you want to do today?
I wasn't expecting to be here
So I asked Addison
to go shopping or something.
[chuckles]
Girls' day out.
Perfect. You can, uh,
get some things for our trip.
- What trip?
- [Jack] It's a surprise.
But I suggest a new bikini.
[vocalizing]
My love leads you
Like a map down every road
[vocalizing]
My love flows
Where ever you go
My love flows
Where ever you go
[Laurelyn] It's amazing.
Wait until you see the view.
- [keypad beeps]
- [latch clicks]
[Laurelyn]
Oh, I could stay here a while.
[Jack] Think
you're gonna like New Zealand.
[Laurelyn chuckles]
Where ever you go
[Laurelyn] Oh, wow.
[Laurelyn] It's beautiful.
[Jack] I've never been
with anyone
I wanted to bring here before.
- Until you.
- ["Devil In Me" playing]
It must be the devil
That you seek
Hmm
I saw the evil
[Laurelyn] Oh.
Now I believe
You're bringing out
The devil in me
[Laurelyn moans]
Trace my steps
From indoctrination
I do
Every little thing
That you need
- [moans]
- [moans]
God forgiven
For my indiscretions
I threw everything away
Just to feel the heat
Well, it must be the devil
[moans]
That you seek
You're bringing out
The devil in me
I bit the apple
Now I believe - I believe
You're bringing out
The devil in me
Did you do this?
Birthday girl goes first.
How did you know
it was my birthday?
You told me. On our second date.
- Oh, I don't need coffee.
- Juice?
[Laurelyn] No one's ever done
anything like this for me.
The breakfast
is just the beginning.
I also got you this.
You don't like it?
I chose it because
You're going to be a superstar.
Oh, I love it.
It's perfect.
I wish I could spend
the whole day with you.
Me too.
I'll try and get back early.
That's your incentive.
[cellphone ringing]
Hi, Mama.
- Happy birthday, baby girl.
- [chuckles]
[Jolene] Are you having
a good one?
- The best.
- Well, I got some news
that's going
to make it even better.
[Laurelyn] Mm-hmm. What is it?
It's your dad.
He came to see me, baby.
He wants to meet you.
Why?
[Jolene]Because you're his daughter.
He hasn't wanted me
as his daughter in 23 years.
And he didn't get
to change his mind now
because this child he claimed
is dead.
[Jolene]It's not like that, Laurie.
It is like that, Mom.
I've been his dirty
little secret all these years.
At least have the balls
to be honest about it.
[Jolene] Now, you you just wait
because he was very excited
to talk to you.
I'm sorry. Laurelyn will
have to call you back later.
[Jolene] What? No.
[cellphone rattles]
[sobs]
[birds chirping]
It's vague, but
I remember meeting him
when I was little.
My mom dressed me
in a Navy sailor dress.
Pigtails.
[chuckles softly]
I was adorable.
We went to this place where
Ducks paddle
around this fountain.
They fascinated me, but
She wouldn't let me stay
to watch them.
She took me to him.
I know it was the sperm donor,
even if I don't remember
his face.
Never saw him again.
Except on television
and in the music department
at Walmart.
You're not curious about him?
There's been times I'd
have given anything to see him
But it ain't today.
[soft music playing]
[cellphone buzzes]
[footsteps approaching]
- Darling.
- [Laurelyn chuckles]
Oh.
[chuckles]
[Jack]
That looks perfect on you.
[soft music playing]
Well, you're unusually quiet,
Mr. Henry.
I just think you know
how a beautiful woman like you
- must date a lot.
- [Laurelyn] Oh, I do.
I've had a date
with an extremely handsome man.
Almost every day
for the last six weeks.
I meant before you got
to Australia.
Not so much.
[Jack]
What about a relationship?
Once, but
Boyfriend isn't really
the right word.
Was it serious?
What's with all the questions?
Just making conversation.
You ready
for your next surprise?
Surprise?
[chuckles]
- [Jack] Are your eyes closed?
- [Laurelyn] Mm-hmm.
- Oi! No peeking!
- [chuckles]
- Keep your eyes closed.
- [Laurelyn] They are.
[Jack] You can open your eyes.
[gasps, chuckles]
That's a lot of fire.
[chuckles]
Yeah, wait till you turn 30.
- You told me you were 29.
- I was.
When did you turn 30?
A few weeks ago.
That's when you
were at your parents' house?
When I almost left.
Yeah.
I would have gotten you a gift.
But you staying with me
was the best gift.
Go on. Make a wish.
[Laurelyn exhales]
- [indistinct chatter]
- [camera shutter clicking]
- What was that all about?
- Oh, it was just a photographer
assigned to cover
the opening night.
[women singing in Italian]
[women singing in Italian]
I have no idea what's going on.
[Jack] That man, Pinkerton,
a US naval officer
is about to marry
a 15-year-old Japanese girl
they call Butterfly.
Even though he knows
he'll divorce her
when he finds
a proper American wife.
- Oh, that's pretty shitty.
- [chuckles]
[shushes]
[women singing in Italian]
Butterfly loves Pinkerton
so much
That she's going to convert
to Christianity.
Her uncle finds out, so he comes
to where they're being wed.
Acts like a bit of a wanker.
Curses Butterfly out.
Renounces her.
This scene is the night
of their wedding.
[Laurelyn] Hmm.
Are you naked under there?
Maybe.
Maybe not.
[women singing in Italian]
[women singing in Italian]
[women singing in Italian]
I love it how you
are always so wet.
[singing in Italian]
[exhales deeply]
[woman singing in Italian]
Well, I've never enjoyed
the opera so much, my love.
- [cellphone chimes]
- [chuckles]
[Jack] Evan?
What's happened?
I'm in Sydney.
When?
I'll meet you there.
That's my dad. I think
he's having a heart attack.
- I'm so sorry.
- He's just at City Hospital.
It's not far.
We'll, you need to go. I
I'll get a taxi to the hotel.
I need you.
- Your family will be there.
- I want you to come with me.
[siren wailing]
- [Jack] Hey.
- Mate.
- [Jack] Any news?
- They're doing tests to see
how extensive the damage is.
He's in intensive care.
This way.
[Jack] Uh, this is my brother,
Evan. Evan, Laurelyn.
- It's nice to meet you.
- [Laurelyn] Hi.
[Evan chuckles]
Okay, this way.
- [indistinct chatter]
- Oh.
I thought we'd never get you,
Jack Henry.
I'm sorry. My phone was off.
We were at the opera.
Uh, Mom, this is Laurelyn,
and Laurelyn, this is my mother
- Margaret.
- I wasn't sure
if I'd ever get to meet you.
Oh, Jack Henry has told me
wonderful things about you.
You call him Jack Henry?
Yes, ma'am.
Hi. Are you
Henry McLachlan's family?
Oh, yes. I'm his wife.
- [doctor] He's doing well.
- Oh.
It wasn't a heart attack,
as we suspected.
But he did have
two significant blockages.
We've stented them,
and I expect him
- to make a full recovery.
- Oh.
Thank you.
Your dad's going to be fine
[soft music playing]
Jack Henry.
- [Laurelyn speaks indistinctly]
- [Celia chuckles]
[Margaret] Henry, I ought
to thank you for trying to die.
Because you'll never guess
who Jack Henry brought
to the hospital with him.
It can only be the woman
he's dating.
She's lovely.
And she calls him Jack Henry.
It it's not a big deal.
- That's a huge deal.
- Okay, we're not here about me
and Laurelyn.
We're here for Dad.
[soft music playing]
- Hey. Hi.
- [Emma speaks indistinctly]
Go get your things.
I want you and Laurelyn
to stay at the house.
It's okay, the hotel is close
to the hospital.
We've just had a very close call
with your father.
The family should be together.
Mom
She's leaving in four weeks.
That's not set in stone, is it?
No, it's set
in her airline ticket.
The heart wants what it wants.
My heart wants you to be happy.
You have four weeks
to convince her to stay.
[indistinct chatter]
I suggest you get on it, son.
[cicadas chirping]
Is this where you grew up?
- Yeah.
- [chuckles softly]
It's beautiful.
Come on.
Tonight changed everything
for us, didn't it?
Yeah
Just a little.
[chuckles]
I don't
I don't know how to do this.
The new us, uh
What do you need from me
to make this work?
I think the new us
Needs to start
with a first kiss.
[soft music playing]
I only see this when you're
thinking hard about something.
Say my name.
Lachlan.
My real name.
Jack.
Both of them.
Jack Henry.
Say it again, Laurelyn.
Jack Henry.
That's who I am to you
from now on.
Do I get to know anything else?
[chuckles]
What else do you want to know?
Everything.
You don't have to worry.
I have an apartment here
in Sydney.
That's home.
When I'm not traveling,
which isn't often.
Owning so many vineyards.
You own them all?
Yeah.
[exhales sharply]
And my mom wants
you here to work on you.
Because she wants me
to have a wife.
[chuckles]
And you're the closest thing
she's seen.
Ever.
You didn't tell her
I was leaving next month?
Oh, she doesn't care.
She's determined.
Well
Maybe we roll with it.
Make her happy.
- [birds chirping]
- [footsteps approaching]
Morning, Mom.
Have a good night?
I slept fine.
And Laurelyn?
- Good morning.
- [Jack] Good morning, darling.
- Margaret.
- Dear.
[Laurelyn chuckles]
["Make Me Feel" playing]
Good stuff
You give me goosebumps
With your sweet love
You make me go weak
With your smooth touch
I never felt
So ready for this
You got the good stuff
You give me goosebumps
With your sweet love
You make me want
More of your soft touch
I never feel so ready
[Laurelyn chuckles]
I would love to.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
[Margaret] I love you.
- [Laurelyn speaks indistinctly]
- Yeah.
I appreciate it.
- Bye, sweetheart.
- [indistinct chatter]
- So lovely having you here.
- [Laurelyn] Thank you.
- [grunts]
- You have a great family.
Glad I got to meet them.
They think
you're pretty great too.
- [car door opens]
- Mom was in heaven.
Thank you.
My pleasure.
[chuckles]
["Beauty From Pain" playing]
Suitcase packed full Of unsaid words
By the door frame
Sun set low see the gold
All across the floor
Chin up now
gotta one way flight
to tomorrow
But tell me, should I be glad
That we let it go?
Round and round
These endless thoughts
A tale of love
A tale of loss again
And all that remains
Bravo!
Jack Henry's out
at the vineyard.
- Do you want me to call him?
- No.
I would have called, but I had
no way of getting your number
unless I asked Jack Henry. And
I don't want him to know
I'm here to see you.
- Me?
- Mm-hmm.
Do you want me
to get you a coffee?
No.
I know my son.
Bringing you into our home
wasn't done lightly.
And every time he looks at you
He loves you.
He'd never let you call him
Jack Henry
if he wasn't in love with you.
Do you love my son?
Yeah.
Yeah, I love Jack Henry.
Believe me, he's going
to be a stubborn jackass
when it comes time for you
to leave in two weeks.
He'll struggle to put
his heart on the line.
But he'll be sick with himself
if he lets you go.
Show him
why he should ask you to stay.
Margaret, we
We knew we'd only be together
for three months.
So we agreed our relationship
wouldn't become serious.
I don't think
he's changed his mind.
[Margaret] Hon
If you love each other,
that changes everything.
And a little nookie never hurts.
- [chuckles]
- [chuckles]
[shower running]
[cellphone buzzing]
[Blake] Laurelyn
I know you're there.
I hear you breathing.
If you're not ready to talk
Please listen.
I missed you, Laurie.
We had a great thing going,
and I know we can get it back.
Baby, no one knows about us.
I convinced Mitch and the guys,
you just need
a little time to deal
with the stress
of the music industry.
But they're not going
to wait around forever.
You need to come back
to Nashville
so we can push
this record deal through.
You need to come back home
to me.
Laurie, I know you miss me.
Laurelyn can't come
to the phone right now.
[Blake] Who is this?
Jack McLachlan
Her Australian boyfriend.
That's where she is
With me
In Australia.
Hey, I thought
you were gone for the day.
Yeah, I had to come back
for some things.
Hey, what's going on?
Who's Blake Phillbrook?
Why you ask me that?
He, uh, he rang while you
were in the shower.
You answered my phone.
[exhales deeply]
I I don't know how to do this
Laurelyn.
I want to know who he is to you.
He's my record producer.
Okay, we started seeing
each other
While we were making my record,
and, like, one thing
led to another, and
He said it wouldn't look good
Seeing someone
he was representing,
so we agreed to keep it secret.
So
We did, but, um
I later found out it was
because he had a wife
And three kids
So I walked away from it all.
Him
The record label
The music career
I'd worked so hard for
Everything.
When was that?
A couple of weeks
before I came here.
How long did you see him for?
Three months.
Do you love him?
The truth shattered
anything I felt for him.
- I'm sorry.
- [sniffles]
I'm not treating you
the way I should have.
What are you talking about?
- You've never treated me poorly.
- No, I
I asked you for a relationship
built on lies.
I kept you
as a secret to the world
until I needed you
when my dad got sick.
Hey, get up from there.
[exhales sharply, sniffles]
I'm sorry
For making you feel
like you weren't enough
To know the real me.
But I'm really sorry
That I never truly made love
to you.
["Skin To Skin" By Helt playing]
Don't cry.
Baby, don't cry.
I never want to be the one
to make you cry.
[Laurelyn breathes shakily]
Skin to skin
I am falling further in
Hand inside
The pocket
Keep me close
Close to everything
Unlike the dream
You're so desperate to see
Don't drop it
Pulling us back, back, back
Back together
Two magnets, one attraction
Invisible hands make plans
Come together
Two bodies
One reaction
Don't
Release
The grip on me
The muscle keeps
The bone inside
The socket
Keep me close
Close to everything
It's like a wave
That's coming
And you can't stop it
Pulling us back, back, back
Back together
Two magnets, one attraction
Invisible hands make plans
Come together
Two bodies, one reaction
Pulling us back, back, back
Back together
Two bodies, one attraction
[Laurelyn moans]
Invisible hands make plans
Come together
- [moans]
- [moans]
Two bodies
One reaction
- [pants]

[soft music playing]
I love you, Jack Henry.
[Jack breathes shakily]
[birds chirping]
Laurelyn?
[Laurelyn] In the kitchen.
Hmm, smells delicious.
I let Miss Porcelli
go home early,
'cause I wanted to cook for you.
Hope you don't mind.
[chuckles]
Can I help with anything?
As if you'd know what to do.
I'm pretty sure I made you
a really good breakfast once.
I don't think bagel
and cream cheese
counts as cooking.
Regardless, I'm good.
You could choose us a wine,
though.
That is something I can do.
What?
I'm gonna miss you.
[soft music playing]
I'll see you this afternoon,
darling.
[Laurelyn breathes deeply]
[Jack] Hey hey.
You're squeezing me
like this is it.
We still have tomorrow.
[Laurelyn] Hmm.
I'll try and come home early.
We can do something
special tonight?
["Stay With Me" playing]
Circles falling
Through the atmosphere
These are things
That you don't wanna hear
So, you go out and roam
[vocalizing]
I've been promised
In another life
We would have been
In a different lifetime
But for tonight
[Laurelyn]I love you, Jack Henry.
With me
Clyde, I'm taking
the rest of the day off.
Hold me closer
Hold me closer
Be with me
I wanted you to know
This is home
[door opens]
[door closes]
[Mrs. Porcelli] Mr. McLachlan
Would you care for some lunch?
Uh, has has Laurelyn eaten?
Oh, she left this morning,
not long after you went to work.
Oh. Did she say
where she was going?
Oh. She told me
she was going home.
I I thought it was strange
you weren't going
to the airport with her.
- I didn't think it my place to...
- [Jack] Laurelyn!
[cellphone ringing]
[guitar strings chime]
[Laurelyn]My beautiful Jack Henry.
This has been coming
for three months.
And I'm no better prepared
for it today than I was
when we met.
If anything
I'm less prepared.
Somewhere
between the hello and goodbye
I'm unable to bear that
I fell desperately in love
with you.
I know you don't feel the same.
That's why I told you
I was leaving tomorrow
instead of today.
[woman 3 speaking indistinctly
over PA]
[Laurelyn]I couldn't bear to say goodbye
and see how little
you were affected
by watching me walk out
of your life forever.
Because it is forever.
I promised
I wouldn't contact you.
And I won't.
You kept your promise to me.
You made my every fantasy
come true.
And that includes finding
the love of my life.
Now it's my turn
to keep my promise.
I love you
Jack Henry.
With every fiber of my being.
Forever.
Laurelyn.
- Your American girl.

Clock ticks out
On another love
Found at a crossroads
Tears fall But they water
what's meant to grow
Chin up now gottta
one way flight to tomorrow
But, tell me
Should I be glad
That we let it go
Round and round
These endless thoughts
A tale of love
A tale of loss again
And all that remains
Beauty from pain
The distant love
That never fades away
Fade away
Beauty from pain
When letting go makes it hard
To stay away
And all that remains
Beauty from pain
Beauty from pain
Suitcase packed full
Of unsaid words
by the door frame
Sun set low see the gold
All across the floor
On the way out
Finding memories
Trailing the hallway
Tell me, is it too late
To go back for more?
Round and round
These endless thoughts
A tale of love
A tale of loss again
[vocalizes]
But surrounding
All these open scars
A healing heart
Growing strong within
And all that remains
Beauty from pain
A distant love
That never fade away
Fade away
Beauty from pain
When letting go makes it hard
To stay away
And all that remains
Beauty from pain
