Pregnant At 17 (2016) Movie Script
1
Dig!
Move the shovel. Dig!
Let's go!
Dig!
You said we weren't gonna
kill anybody.
Yeah. I lied.
Try this.
- What is it?
- Try it. It's smooth.
Cheers.
It's so smooth...
So whatcha drinkin', sweetheart?
Not interested.
- Let her speak for herself.
- Maybe you misunderstood me.
Not interested.
I can handle that stuff myself.
You know your dad wants me
to look out for you.
I guess he's pretty busy
right now.
He really cares about you.
Don't ever forget that.
Hey. What's up?
I... I think
I'm gonna go home.
Can I have some money for a cab?
Sure.
- Thanks.
- Could you
stop by Mikey's, get me a carton
of cigarettes? I'm running low.
- Yeah.
- OK. I shouldn't be too long.
Maybe.
All right. It's your shot.
- Here you are, my dear.
- Thanks.
Well, look at the beauty that
just walked into my store.
Lucky me.
Hi, Mikey.
- Your dad out of smokes?
- Yes.
I got a couple unopened
cartons in the back.
Oh... By the way...
Did you hear about Greg Foster?
No. What?
He, uh... He made parole
He's gonna be out next week.
That's three years early.
That's not right.
Well, he wouldn't have been
put away at all if it wasn't
for you. I'm grateful to ya.
Chelsea.
- Adam.
- I'll, uh... I'll just go
get those cigarettes.
Nah, I can do it, Gramps.
No, no, you stay and keep this
beautiful young lady company.
- Long time no see.
- And whose fault is that?
I've been coming in here at least
once a week. I was just on break
from school so I thought
I'd come help out Gramps.
I can't believe you're even standing here.
Why is that?
Well, I thought you'd be
in Berlin by now.
Wasn't that what you planned to do, go
see where your mom was born and all that?
Dusseldorf. Yeah.
I am gonna go soon.
I have my whole... trip planned
out, actually. I just...
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Here ya are, my dear.
You tell your dad to drop in
when he gets the chance, huh?
I will. Thank you. I'll, um...
I'll see you later.
Bye.
She's a good girl, that one.
- Hurry up. Open that drawer! Get the cash in there.
- Take whatever you want.
You're either gonna be very broke
or very dead. It's up to you.
- Take it all.
- Hurry up! - Yes, yes.
Greg?
Go, go, go, go, go!
Oh my God!
Mikey!
OK... OK...
Hi. I'm at Mikey's Food Mart
on 16th Avenue. The store's been
robbed; the owner's been hurt.
Yeah. Yeah. I know him.
His name is Greg Foster.
He... he got into a blue car
with some other guy.
They turned left
onto Purnell Avenue.
OK. You're gonna be OK.
The ambulance is on its way, OK?
I think a trip is the best way to
celebrate your tenth anniversary. Oh!
Ryan and I love, love, love
Buenos Aires. It's called
the Paris of South America.
Oh, my gosh! Although
I think he actually preferred
Rio better.
Where do you think you'll go?
Mmm. We actually haven't
discussed that. Have we, honey?
Well, no, I... It's impossible for either
of us to get any time off right now.
- Yeah.
- She's six days week
at the clinic and,
you know, I'm off at a...
conference almost
every weekend so...
I am gonna go find
my husband. Mm.
Night.
Who's texting you?
Probably work.
At nine-thirty
on a Saturday night?
Well, it's six-thirty
in California.
And some people do work
on the weekend.
Like you do.
Be right back.
- What's going on?
- Ah, I don't know, Ang.
Maybe I'm crazy.
K,
we both know you're not.
What's going on?
I think Jeff's having an affair.
What?
I haven't caught him...
or anything like that but...
I don't know. I just...
I know he is.
- How?
- He's been acting weird
and sneaky, and...
He always has some excuse
to be out of town.
- Did you ask him about it?
- I did.
He just denies it
and then he... acts like
I'm being overly sus...
Hey, honey, do we have any
more of that South African...
Private
conversation.
I'll ask the caterer.
K, we'll continue
the conversation later.
For now just play
the happy wife, OK?
Ang, I'm a vet,
not a politician.
And I'm a divorce
attorney. Trust me.
Would you excuse us
for a moment?
I've, uh... I've got
something for you.
Happy tenth anniversary.
Jeff, I don't wanna
do this here.
Well, what's going on?
Let's just do it at home.
Jeff, I'm gonna ask you this
one more time.
And I need an honest answer.
Just don't ask me
again if I'm having
an affair, please.
- Are you?
- No!
I am
so sick of you lying.
- Hey.
- Sorry I took so long to call.
How are you?
Hey, when can I see you again?
I miss you.
How 'bout I get us a room
tomorrow night?
The Randal Garden Inn downtown?
We can... order room service,
OK. What time?
I won't get there till after five, but
you can check in as early as three.
You know, after you get off
work if you want to.
- Love you.
- I love you too.
Bye.
Cheers.
You know, I see
that bitch sometimes.
The one that turned him in.
Doesn't she go to school
with you?
That ho-bag dropped out a few
months after his sentencing.
You can thank me for that.
I did what I could
to make her life hell. What?
She deserved it for lying her
ass off about my brother.
Greg just told me to keep tabs
on her. Find out
what she's doing, where she's
going. That kind of stuff.
He told me not to touch her.
Speaking of touching...
Let's go to your room.
- Too much to drink?
- I don't know.
It must have been the tequila.
Do not let Rascal talk you
into drinking that stuff, all
right? It's gonna rot your guts.
I feel
like my guts are rotting.
- You want some breakfast?
- I can make it.
I got it, sweetie.
I might not be able
to cook much, but eggs
I think I can handle.
Got some good news. Joey swung
by the bar last night after
you left. He's heading
to Alaska for work;
said I could go with him.
- On the crab boat?
- It's a lot of money.
How long?
Couple of weeks.
Till the season's over.
I leave in a few hours.
It's so dangerous.
Nah. Not if you know
what you're doing.
Sure. I guess.
Is everything OK?
Greg Foster's getting
out of prison.
Mikey told me last night.
Two years, it's all
he's gonna serve.
How's Mikey taking it?
You know how he is.
Rob a guy, beat him half
to death, you get a slap
on the wrist. I got friends doing a hell of a
lot more time. For what, sticking a needle
in their arms?
Be safe out there, OK?
I've seen those shows
where... people get
their hands caught in fishing
cables and stuff so...
I will keep my hands away
from any such cables.
I promise.
So you've been...
throwing up off and on
for a month, but...
last night was the first time
you fainted?
Yeah, pretty much. I have
to stop drinking tequila.
It's weird though; I didn't
even feel drunk.
OK, I hate to ask the obvious, but...
have you taken a pregnancy test?
I can't stop thinking about her.
You know. Who is she?
Who is this woman...
my husband's in love with?
OK. What are you gonna do?
Well, he said he was going out
of town tonight but, um...
They're actually
meeting at a hotel.
I'm gonna go.
Oh... Sonia, don't.
I just... I need to see
what she looks like. That's it.
This is...
This is gonna be OK.
I'm gonna see Jeff tonight
and I'm gonna tell him.
Is this someone you've been
seeing for a while?
Three and a half months.
But he's got... a really
steady job and he's
really solid. And...
I know he wants kids. I mean,
he and his wife tried
to have one a while ago,
but... she miscarried and
he was really upset about it.
His wife? Ex-wife.
I meant... ex-wife.
Chelsea.
Be honest. Is...
this guy married?
It's really just a matter
of paperwork. I mean,
they both... want a divorce.
How old is he?
I love him.
That's all that matters.
Everybody always gets
so caught up about things like
age and money, but... none
of that stuff matters. Love is
the most important thing.
- What does that mean?
- Liebe uberwindet
alles. "Love conquers all."
It was
my mother's favorite saying.
Hey, Liz?
I'll be right there.
You take your time.
I'll take care of these people.
Thanks.
My boyfriend made
a reservation for tonight.
- What's the name?
- Chelsea Sheridans, but he said
it might be under his name.
- Jeff Clefton? - Swimming
- Yeah.
Through the sadness
Here you go. Room
two-fourteen.
Elevator's to the left.
Thank you.
Hidden
Secrets now revealed
Now there's nothing
To take back
This train is heading
Off the track
All my colors
Turn to black
All my colors
Turn to
Black
Hey! I didn't think
you were coming in today.
It's Dr. Westerly's weekend.
Oh, yeah, no. I... I'm not
officially here.
I just came to take care of some
stuff, paperwork. Oh, hey, how was
the anniversary party?
Uh... It was good, thanks.
God, Jeff...
- Hey.
- Hey.
I'm happy to see you.
Me too.
Been counting
the minutes all day.
Yeah, she does look young.
I don't give
this girl more
than twenty-two max.
Why would he wanna be with
someone who scoops ice cream
all day? I mean,
how could he bring
someone like that
to a work event, or...
to meet his parents?
No, he can't. It's obvious,
or people would think he was
insane. All right,
Jeff has issues.
And they're HIS issues.
This has nothing to do with you.
Hm. You make my life
so damn complicated.
It doesn't have to be.
We could make things official.
I know that's what you want,
and that time is coming.
I just have some stuff I still
gotta work through before
I can divorce my wife.
How long do you think
that's gonna take?
You keep asking me that
and I just don't have
an answer for you.
Longer than nine months?
Uh... Are you telling me
you're pregnant?
I... I know it isn't...
expected, but... you... you said
you always wanted babies and...
that you were devastated
when your wife miscarried.
Um... You said that you were
on birth control pills.
W... Were you? What...
I mean, what happened there?
Of course I did.
- You take 'em every day?
- Usually.
I... I may have missed
a day or two...
Chelsea! Look,
if I had known that,
I would have worn
protection myself.
Right?
I... I trusted you!
Are you saying
you can't trust me?
Look,
I, uh...
This is...
This is just... really
unexpected.
I don't get why you're mad.
I thought you'd be happy.
You keep saying that you wanna
marry me and have a family with me. And, yeah,
I get it. This... this is super unexpected,
but it's still
what we both want.
No. No, this is... This is
nothing like what I want.
I'm still married,
for crying out loud.
You're getting a divorce.
Your wife has a boyfriend
in New York.
She's not gonna care.
She doesn't...
She... She won't understand.
Hey.
Hey. Uh...
How far... How far
along are you?
- I don't know.
- OK.
Liz said I should probably
go see a doctor.
Liz, your boss?
Jesus, Chelsea.
How many people did you tell?
N...
No one else. I...
I should probably tell my dad.
Your dad,
no. That's... I mean...
Why involve him?
You know, this is...
This is about us.
Well, the... doctor
probably won't
let me sign any papers
until I'm eighteen.
Did you say you're...
you're not eighteen?
I'm seventeen.
No, no, no. That's...
not possible.
I met you in a bar.
You were drinking.
Right? So I don't...
I've been doing that
since I was fifteen.
Oh! Chelsea,
geez, what...
Why didn't you tell me?
- You never asked.
- Oh!
It's not like
I was hiding it from you!
- Ha!
- The other day I told you that
my mom's older than my dad
and you said
that age doesn't matter.
It matters if you're underage.
Are... I...
I need some time to think.
I just have to...
go somewhere and think.
- Are you leaving?
- I'm... gonna call you
tomorrow. I just, uh...
Till then,
can you just... not mention me
or the pregnancy
to anyone? Can you promise that?
OK?
Don't go. OK?
I love you.
I just... need
a little time alone.
OK? Please?
It's gonna be OK.
J... Jeff, please...
Listen, listen, listen.
Hey, hey...
We'll figure it all out. OK?
All right? We're...
We're gonna figure it out.
Just give me...
Give me a day or two.
Right? OK. OK.
You know, this is...
This is a lot. It's a lot
to, uh... process. So just...
you can stay here...
tonight. That's fine.
And, uh, I'll...
I'll call you tomorrow.
Um, I'll call you tomorrow.
It's gonna be OK.
OK, good night.
Chelsea, a real man would
have been supportive.
He should have just...
sat there and held you
and talked you through it.
Thank you.
What are you doing
with a married guy anyways?
I don't know. He told me
his marriage wasn't
going well and that...
his wife was cheating on him.
And so I just...
I thought he needed me.
Are you... Are you
in love with him?
Yeah. I think so.
He's got everything
that I want.
And what do you want?
Someone with a good job, like...
The kind you wear a suit to
and...
go to every day.
Something that's not
too dangerous.
I don't know. I guess I just...
want someone who I can...
sit in the grass with
and watch sunsets with.
I'm so sick and tired
of going to smoky bars.
You know?
Yeah, but...
What about someone that would be
stoked if you told them
you were having a baby.
Someone that wouldn't just
leave you hanging
to go home to his wife?
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have said that.
Chelsea... I hope it works
for you both. I really do.
But just know
that you deserve to be with
someone who will give you
everything you want.
Chelsea! You lying
little bitch.
My brother spent the night
in jail 'cause of you.
Lauren, the cops told me
not to talk to you.
I guess you better listen
then. You need to go back and
tell them he didn't do it. I'm not
gonna do that, because I saw him do it.
There's no way you saw him
'cause he said he wasn't there.
Either you made a mistake,
or you're lying. And why
would you try to screw us?
I've always been cool to you. That man is
in the hospital because of your brother.
Look, I don't have
anything against you,
but I'm not gonna lie to protect
him when I know he did it.
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
I'll catch you later.
Thank you.
Here's your change.
Enjoy.
Thank you.
Bye, sweetie.
Hi. Welcome
to Stella Luna.
I like your shirt. That's
a really great color on you.
Oh. Thank you.
- Can I offer you a sample?
- Actually, no.
Uh, I...
I already know what I want.
I'll just have a small, uh,
cookies and cream.
OK. Coming right up.
But first you have to try this.
My favorite flavor.
What do you think?
It's basil. I know it sounds
weird, but it is so good.
Hm. I like your necklace.
I'm guessing that
you probably got that
from your boyfriend.
Uh, no, actually.
It was my mother's.
My dad gave it to me.
It's my favorite thing I own.
Mm. Yeah,
mothers are pretty special.
Yeah.
She didn't give it to me;
my dad did after she died.
But she wore it all the time, so
it helps me feel close to her.
He said that I could have
her wedding ring
on my birthday so I'm gonna add
that to the chain too.
- When's your birthday?
- November.
Let me guess. Um,
twenty-two?
That's funny. Everybody always
thinks I'm older than I am,
but I'll be eighteen.
That'll be four-fifty, please.
I'm sorry about your mom.
Thanks.
How recent?
Um, she died when I was ten.
That's not really enough time
to get to know somebody,
but the memories I do have
are pretty great.
Thank you.
Have a great day.
See that right there?
That's the baby's feet.
So cool.
Is it a boy or a girl?
Still too early to know that.
At around twenty weeks
we'll be able to determine
the gender.
OK.
Would you like to hear
the heartbeat?
Yes.
Does the father
know you're pregnant?
Yeah. He, um,
he doesn't wanna be involved.
Mm.
Are you close to your parents?
My mom isn't
really around anymore,
but my dad and I
are pretty close.
Good. Well, we have
resources, financial
and educational,
for young women like yourself.
I'll let you get dressed
and we'll go
over them together. All right?
Thank you.
Hey, guys. The bartender
asked me
to bring this over.
Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Thank you.
Hey. You OK?
Yeah. I just needed
some quiet.
I'm not sure you're gonna get
that out here.
Mm.
Uh,
forgive me for saying,
but you don't really
blend in with the crowd
around here.
It's funny.
I was just thinking
the same thing about you
and your friend.
Orin. Yeah,
we just got some gas
down the road
and saw this place,
thought we'd check it out.
Orin's a cool name.
I guess so.
How 'bout you?
You got a cool name?
Chelsea.
- Nice.
- And you are?
Jeff. Just plain ole Jeff.
Except not that plain
and not that old.
That's very kind of you to say.
Still trying to figure out what you're
doing out here all alone, though.
- What's wrong with being alone?
- Nothin'.
It just doesn't seem...
Just figured there'd be
guys all over you
if you were back down there.
Yeah, well,
they're not my type.
Love conquers all?
Love conquers all.
- Yeah.
- Yah.
- Do you speak German?
- Ein bisschen.
Took it for a couple of years
in high school.
My mom was from Dusseldorf.
I've never been,
but I've seen pictures
and it looks beautiful.
Hey, man.
Did you find your wallet
or what?
Yes. Left in the car.
Go rack 'em.
I'll be right down.
Sure.
It was nice talking
with you, Chelsea.
Well, you can always talk
to me again sometime.
Tell you what.
You let me give you my number.
And that way,
I can leave it up to you.
Decision's in your hands.
OK.
OK.
Gute nacht.
Gute nacht.
Chelsea!
Hey.
You're seventeen, Chelsea.
Why would you possibly think
it's a good idea
to keep this baby?
I have nothing...
except my dad
who's never around.
I don't have a career
or an education,
but I have a baby
growing inside me,
a real baby with...
with a heartbeat
and little feet.
Do you know what that makes me?
That makes me a mom. That makes
me important to someone.
You're a high school dropout.
How can you possibly expect
to support a baby
on a minimum wage job?
You don't have any real income.
But you do.
Ah, good God.
And I can give
the baby love. That's more
than what most people have.
It's more than what I had.
I cannot financially support
a child if I am in jail.
And that's exactly
where I'm gonna wind up
if anyone finds out that I got
a seventeen-year-old pregnant!
It won't be like that.
Listen to me.
I need you to understand
the situation that I am in.
I spoke to a lawyer.
They'll char... they'll charge
me as a sex offender!
I'll lose my job.
There's no way I'll ever
be allowed near that baby.
- But we love each other.
- Could you...
stop
with the ethereal, whimsical,
happy-go-lucky BS!
This is real life, Chelsea!
Love does not conquer all!
Hey, just... just...
listen to me.
Hey.
I want what's right
for both of us.
You know that.
There's $10,000 in here.
Now you just let me take you
to get an abortion
and it's all yours.
You can go to Germany
or move out of here.
Anything you want.
I am not trying to buy you off.
It's only fair.
You give me what I want.
It's only right that you get
something in return.
I want this baby.
I need this baby.
I won't force you to be a part
of it. I won't tell anyone
you're the father.
Take the money.
Take the money.
Take it!
I don't want your money.
I'm keeping this baby, and if
you don't wanna be a part of it,
you can get out of our lives!
Ch-! Ah.
I miss you so much, Mom.
I miss you so much.
Hello?
- I'm a prick. - What do you mean?
- Well, I gave you a hard time
about being with that guy
and I had no right to do that.
It actually meant a lot to me
that you opened up
to me about everything.
Well, it turns out
that he wants nothing
to do with me or the baby.
God, I'm such an idiot
for even getting involved
with him.
Well, can I come over
and cheer you up?
Hey. There you are.
Did you work late tonight?
No, no,
I met Angela for drinks.
How was the conference?
Good.
It was good.
Did you meet anyone interesting?
Not really. Just the same old
crowd, you know.
Aren't you tired of lying?
What's that supposed to mean?
I know about Chelsea.
Who's Chelsea?
Stop. Just stop lying.
I know you met her at a hotel.
OK.
Yeah, I, uh...
slept with her,
but just a couple of times
and I certainly don't love her.
That's just...
supposed to make me feel better?
No.
Listen. I...
I knew it was wrong
and I ended it.
That's why I was at the hotel.
To break up.
I, I was miserable
the whole time. I, I...
How old is she?
She told me
she was twenty-one...
but she may be younger.
I'm sorry.
But... it's not like
I set out to hurt you or...
Jeff, I asked you so many times
if you were having an affair.
I knew in my gut
that you were. And how could you
deny it over and over?
God.
What happened to you?
I mean, were you always
like this and...
I just didn't see it?
What happened to me?
It's what happened to "us"...
Don't try to put it on us!
We used to be happy.
We used to relate
to each other, laugh, have fun.
But ever since
we lost the baby...
No, no, no. Don't go there.
That's exactly what I mean.
You'll never talk about it.
You'll never admit
that since the miscarriage,
we're miserable.
You're miserable.
The only thing I ever see
in your eyes any more
is disappointment.
Yeah.
Losing the baby
was disappointing...
But you dealt with it by...
running around with a teenager?
Yeah, it's, it's...
I'm sure it's easier
to hook up in hotel rooms
and plan secret meetings
instead of being a man
and dealing with your problems!
I never said I was perfect.
And yes, I slipped up;
I did something
I shouldn't have done. But I'm
not the first guy on the planet
to do it,
and you're not perfect either.
I didn't cheat on you.
No, no, you did something
just as bad though:
you gave up on us.
I don't give a crap
about that girl. I want you,
the one I fell in love with,
who I still love, but...
I don't know
where she is anymore.
She's been gone
since we lost the baby.
Let's go to counselling.
Let's put us back
together. We'll get
through all this and come out
the other side stronger.
No.
I don't...
I don't want that.
I'm asking Angela to draw up
divorce papers.
- What?
- Yeah.
I think it's best if you find
somewhere else to stay.
No.
Please don't say that.
Please.
You gonna try?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure
my doctor specifically told me
never to eat this.
Yeah, right, she did not.
All right.
Don't be a chicken; be brave.
Nope.
- That was amazing.
- I did it though,
so don't ever call me
a chicken again.
You're one
of the bravest people I know.
No, I mean that.
Look, what you did
for my grandpa,
when you testified back then,
I know you were scared
and you went through
and you did it anyway.
And I'll never forget that.
Thanks.
And you're gonna get
through this too. I know it.
You don't need some successful
businessman like Jeff
to help you either.
You're a tough little thing.
- Sonia...
- Don't.
OK, just...
Just don't.
- What did you find out?
- A bunch of stuff.
Here's the kicker: she was just
at a pregnancy clinic.
I think she's knocked up.
Really?
I'm not a hundred percent
sure, but...
I think he doesn't want
the baby and she does.
They were arguing about it
in front of her house.
And he's rich too.
Throwing money around,
literally.
I'm thinking possibilities
right now.
I just want revenge for them
putting you away
for something you didn't do.
Look how much you've suffered.
And gelato bitch
can't make it right...
But sugar daddy can.
Hello?
Yes, it is.
What?
- Woman:
- They're keeping him
sedated. Yeah, I don't know
for how long.
Hang on.
She's pregnant.
Hey.
I remember you. You work
down the street, right?
Basil gelato?
Aw...
All these baby clothes
are so cute.
I wish I could afford
to buy them all.
Do you have a baby?
No, no. I just love kids.
How 'bout you?
I'm actually expecting.
Oh. Congratulations.
- Thank you.
- Do you have a name picked out?
Uh, no.
Not yet, but I am open
to suggestions.
Oh.
You know, for,
for a boy, Alexander.
And for a girl, Annette.
Both A's. They'll both
be first when the teacher
asks them to line up.
I never thought of that.
Alexander was my grandfather's
name, and Annette
was my grandmother's.
People don't do that
as much anymore,
name kids after family members.
No.
No, they don't.
What about your boyfriend
or... or husband?
We are not really
together anymore,
so it's just up to me.
I'm... I'm sorry
to hear that.
It happens.
I still think I'm gonna be
a good mom.
I actually start
a parenting class next week.
Oh, that's great.
Bye.
Oh. Bye.
This place is really expensive.
Chelsea, no budget tonight, OK?
Gramps picked the place
and he gave me his credit card.
- Really?
- Yeah.
He was thrilled when I told him
I was taking you out on a date.
So this is a date?
I mean, isn't it?
I mean, no pressure
if you don't want it to be.
But this is my best tie,
so if we could make it...
Why would you wanna date
a pregnant girl?
I don't see you
as a pregnant girl; I just...
I see you as Chelsea, a girl
I've liked for a long time.
Yeah, but eventually
I'm gonna have a kid
and that kid isn't yours.
I'm not sure I get
where you're going with that.
Why would you wanna bother
with someone else's child?
You don't think you can love
a baby that you didn't create?
- No, of course I do.
- I would know firsthand,
'cause I was adopted.
- You were?
- Yeah.
I was, by two fantastic parents
that love me
as much as anyone could.
Look, Chelsea, it doesn't matter
who contributes a sperm
or contributes an egg.
What matters is in your heart.
After that, it's just biology.
And I think you should have
some of this. It's my favorite.
OK.
I don't know.
But I just feel
like somebody needs
to stand up for Chelsea.
She's about to become a mother.
Yes. That, my love,
is not your problem.
I know,
but maybe I can help make a
difference in this child's life
if I can convince him
to take responsibility.
What is going on
with you and this girl?
It's just... the more
I find out about her,
the more I wanna know.
How many times
have you seen her?
Just a few.
Last time we talked
about baby names.
OK, Sonia!
Mm. I'm sorry.
I can't explain it.
I just feel some sort of
connection to her.
And I don't know,
maybe it's because we both lost
our moms at a young age
or because we were both
duped by the same guy.
But Ang, she is not this evil
little homewrecker.
She's... she's really
sweet and... nalve.
Thanks for dinner.
It was really nice going
on a real date.
Yeah.
Maybe we can do it again
when I get back.
You going somewhere?
Yeah, just for a few days.
I gotta go
to Ohio. My cousin's
getting married.
Kinda have to go.
I'm in the wedding so...
Sounds fun.
Yeah. So is that a yes?
I can take you out again?
That... that is a yes.
Cool.
Well, good night, Chelsea.
Good night.
Thanks for coming.
I can only imagine
what you're feeling,
me having a baby with her
and not with you.
You have no idea
what I'm feeling.
I wasn't trying
to get her pregnant, Sonia.
I offered her money
to get rid of it, but...
You tried to pay her off?
You know as well as I do that
it makes no sense
for her to keep it.
She's too young and I have
no desire to be involved.
Do you hear yourself?
Do you understand
the ramifications here?
If she keeps the baby,
eventually everyone
will realize that I knocked up
a seventeen-year-old.
I don't deserve to be on some
sex offender list
like a creepy pedophile.
She's about to become
a teenage mother.
You owe it to her to help her.
I owe it to myself to do
what my lawyer tells me to do.
I don't know
who you are anymore.
Here ya go.
- Hi.
- Hey.
I'll have
a basil gelato, please.
Got you hooked
on that one, didn't I?
Yeah, I crave it.
Um, I brought you
a little something.
Thank you.
Yeah. I just thought
you could use them.
One basil gelato
coming right up.
Thanks.
And I never even finished
high school so...
You dropped out? Why?
My grades were fine
and all. I just...
My dad wasn't really around much
so it was hard to get a ride.
And then when
he actually was home,
he often stayed out late.
So it was...
Wait a minute! No way.
Oh, my God! I know him.
- Who? What? - I gotta go.
- Are you OK?
Yeah. I'm just gonna try to
catch a bus before it gets dark.
- Hang on. Let me drive you.
- You sure? It's pretty far.
- It's fine.
- OK. Um, we have to go now.
So, who was that guy?
Mikey warned me
he was getting out but...
I didn't think
he'd come looking for me.
Honey, I think that
instead of taking you home,
I should take you to the police.
You need to tell them
what happened.
But...
what are they gonna do?
It's not just me anymore.
I have to think
about my baby's safety too.
He's right here.
Greg Foster.
As a condition of his parole, he
can't make contact. He didn't, did he?
We didn't give him a chance.
OK.
I'll let
his parole officer know.
In the meantime, Chelsea,
do you have someplace else
you can stay?
Relatives or a friend's?
Um...
She can stay with me.
Uh...
I live in Huntington Heights
and we have a security system.
We?
Oh! My, my...
my husband and I.
But we're separated,
so it's just me.
Good.
Now if you see Foster
lurking again,
call me.
If he does anything
that allows me to arrest him
on a violation, I will.
Here's my card.
- Thank you.
- Absolutely.
Hi.
Ready?
Are you sure
you want to do this?
I mean, you're being
really nice,
but you don't even know me.
Chelsea, uh,
I need to tell you something.
When I came
into the gelato shop,
it wasn't an accident.
I wanted to meet you.
Why?
Because Jeff, um...
your Jeff, is...
he's my husband,
soon to be ex-husband.
What?
Did he put you up to this?
No! No, not at all.
He doesn't even know we talked.
Why is everyone always lying to me?
Chelsea, please, let me explain.
I want you out.
I told you everything about me.
Stop.
You need to hear
what I have to say.
Jeff doesn't know I'm here.
I suspected he was
having an affair,
so...
I went to the hotel
where you and he met.
I just needed to see
what you looked like.
Anyway, I was shocked
at how young you are and...
I just wanted to know more
about you. That's it.
Well, now you know
everything there is to know.
No, that doesn't...
That's not it.
When I first met you that day,
you were just so sweet.
You know, I genuinely liked you.
I wanted to hate you,
but it was the opposite.
And then I realized
that we'd both been played
by the same person.
How can you say that you were played
when you did the exact same thing?
- What?
- Your boyfriend in New York,
the one you hid
from him for months.
Is that what he said?
What a jerk.
I...
I didn't have a boyfriend
in New York, or anywhere else.
I was completely faithful
our entire marriage.
Chelsea,
he lied to us both.
And he's trying to get out
of supporting your baby
and that's wrong.
OK? You can't
let him do that.
He wants nothing to do with it.
Hey.
Everything's gonna be OK.
OK? I promise.
So where's Jeff staying?
Is he with a friend
or something?
Uh, he is in the hospital,
probably for another week.
Why?
- Text from Cassandra. Would you like me to read it?
- Yes.
"Emergency here.
Dog hit by a car.
Westerly is requesting
your assistance."
- I'll be right there.
- Sending "I'll be right there."
We are gonna have
to swing by the clinic.
OK?
Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
OK, sweetie. Hang on.
Just need to get you stabilized
so we can check
for internal bleeding.
Good girl. OK.
Have you ever had a pet?
Nah.
My dad never really wanted any.
Well, maybe...
we could take her home
with us tonight.
Can we?
I'll get a crate.
OK. Did you hear that?
Is everything OK?
I'm really sorry
for breaking up your marriage.
Chelsea, you didn't
break up our marriage.
Jeff did that.
I still feel bad.
You're a good person.
You deserve a good guy.
So do you.
Do you need your bag?
Oh, my vet bag? No, we can
just leave it in the car.
Can I ask you something?
Of course.
Jeff told me that...
you lost a baby.
Is that true?
Yes.
That part is true.
I got pregnant a year
and a half ago. I miscarried.
- I'm sorry.
- Thank you.
At least that part wasn't a lie.
You know...
the one thing I know
I've always wanted was kids.
You would have been a good mom.
You actually remind me
a little bit of mine.
I do?
Yeah.
Chelsea's here.
It's a long story.
Don't ask any questions. But,
um, I'll look at the paperwork
when I get some time alone, OK?
Listen, I've gotta run.
Someone's at the door.
OK, I will. Bye.
Special delivery.
Hello, Chelsea.
Now that we're all here...
let's get down to business.
Here's what's going
to happen next.
You, Sonia Clefton,
are gonna write a check
to Chelsea for 50 grand.
And Chelsea and I are going
to go to the bank
and cash that check.
My companion is gonna stay here
and keep you company.
What? What, what, what?
Ah!
Speak.
The bank won't cash
a check that large.
She's gonna have to deposit it
and wait for the funds
to transfer.
Well, I need that money.
So you need to figure it out.
OK. OK. We...
We have cash in a...
- Spit it out.
- We have cash
in a safety deposit box.
How much?
25,000. And...
with the jewelry inside,
and the money it's...
it's way over fifty.
I want to explain
my little insurance policy so
that we're all very, very clear.
While I'm at the bank with you,
she's gonna take Chelsea
to an undisclosed location.
If my companion doesn't
get a text from me
by 5PM saying
that I have the money,
Chelsea dies.
And so does her baby.
As long as you do what I say,
everyone's going
to be just fine.
Lauren and I will be long gone
and you'll never have
to deal with us again.
- Please, just let me...
- Shut your mouth!
Make this easy.
All right? Let's go.
Chelsea really won the lottery
when she found you, huh?
Whatever you think
Chelsea owes you, I'll pay it.
Whatever it takes
to get everything back to even.
Yeah, that's something
a rich person would say.
No amount of money
can make things right.
It's 3 years of my life, gone...
forever.
You're right, but...
the next 3 can be
very different.
Chelsea's just a child
and so is your sister.
Don't drag them into something
that you and I can work out.
I like how you think.
Let's start with the bank and
we'll see where this goes, huh?
Lauren, he's not
gonna let us go.
- He said he would!
- You're out of your mind.
I already called the cops
on him once.
Lauren, he's gonna kill us
unless you stop him.
And you're gonna spend
the rest of your life in jail.
- Shut up!
- Lauren, I...
I said shut up!
Get in line.
Where are we going?
You'll find out very soon.
May I help you?
Hi. Um, the name is
Sonia Clefton,
and I'd like to access
my safety deposit box, please.
OK. If you need anything else,
I'll be right outside.
Let's go. Open it.
Very simple.
Close it up.
Call him.
We're done in here.
- Is everything OK, ma'am?
- Sonia, we've gotta hurry.
We've gotta go
or we're gonna be late, huh.
OK, well, if there's
nothing else I can do for you,
you folks have a fine day.
We will.
Thanks again.
Drive.
You got what you wanted.
Text your sister.
Change of plans.
We're going
to tell her in person.
Now turn on the car and drive.
Drive!
Walk that way.
Sit down and don't move.
- Pull over. Right here.
- OK.
Shut it off.
Get out.
Come on. Get out!
Against the car.
Turn around. Turn around!
OK! OK.
It's my turn to drive.
You crazy bitch!
Sit down!
Are you stupid?
Do you want to die right here?
Put that down.
Don't move.
They're here. Let's go.
Get out.
Chelsea.
I am so sorry.
Did you get the money?
Just like she said.
Plus a few other surprises too.
Good. Let's get
the hell out of here.
Sis, go get those shovels.
What shovels?
Right there.
Go get them. Do it!
Go!
Greg, what's going on?
First thing these two are
gonna do is go to the cops.
- No, I swear we won't.
- Shut your mouth.
Stop here.
Just cut them loose.
Give them the shovels.
Come here.
Right here! Let's go!
Start digging.
Dig!
OK!
You said we weren't
gonna kill anybody.
Yeah, well, I lied.
We don't have a choice.
- Greg, think about...
- Shut up.
Dig!
What are we gonna do
when we get to South America?
Sis, I told you,
I've got it all planned out.
What? What?
Get your ass up, dig...
What the... Greg?
Get off him! Get off of him!
You stay there.
Chelsea! Stop. Don't move.
Greg? Greg?
Get behind the tree, quick!
OK. I don't see her.
- Is Greg dead?
- No, it was just a sedative,
but only enough for a 90-pound dog.
He's not gonna be knocked out for long.
- So what do we do? Keep going?
- No, just stay here. - OK.
Lauren!
You killed him,
you stupid bitches!
Stay still. All right?
I'm gonna put pressure
on it to stop the bleeding.
I don't want to die.
Do you have a phone?
In my pocket.
Call 911.
Are you OK?
Yes. I need the police
and paramedics.
Two people have been shot
and I think one might be dead.
Chelsea, she's beautiful.
Hey.
Are you sure
you want to do this?
You can change your mind
if you want to.
I want my baby to have
the best mom in the world.
And right now
I think that's you.
You can see her
any time you want.
I think she needs a name.
I want you to name her.
Annette.
After your grandmother.
Thank you.
- Hi!
- Miss Annette.
Oh. Hey, guys.
Look who's here!
- Sweetie.
- Hi.
- How you feeling?
- A little tired, but I'm OK.
- Hey.
- Hey.
So good to see you.
Yeah, you too.
I love you.
I love you too.
OK. That's enough,
you two.
Have you heard anything
from Jeff?
Nope! But Orin said
that he was fired
from showing up to work late.
I guess he's spending every
other weekend in Atlantic City.
I don't know. I don't care.
- What a loser.
- Yeah.
But it looks
like you've traded up.
- Yeah, I have.
- Yeah.
- Hey!
- Hi!
So you ready to go?
Traffic looks pretty bad
around the airport.
We should probably get going.
Yeah.
Chelsea, I want you to have
the best time in Germany.
Thank you. I...
I still can't believe
I'm doing this.
I can!
Bye, Annie.
Be good for your mama, OK?
- Bye, sweetie.
- Bye.
- I'll miss you.
- Miss you too.
See you guys
in a few weeks. OK?
- Bye.
- Bye.
Can you say "bye-bye"?
Say "bye-bye"!

Dig!
Move the shovel. Dig!
Let's go!
Dig!
You said we weren't gonna
kill anybody.
Yeah. I lied.
Try this.
- What is it?
- Try it. It's smooth.
Cheers.
It's so smooth...
So whatcha drinkin', sweetheart?
Not interested.
- Let her speak for herself.
- Maybe you misunderstood me.
Not interested.
I can handle that stuff myself.
You know your dad wants me
to look out for you.
I guess he's pretty busy
right now.
He really cares about you.
Don't ever forget that.
Hey. What's up?
I... I think
I'm gonna go home.
Can I have some money for a cab?
Sure.
- Thanks.
- Could you
stop by Mikey's, get me a carton
of cigarettes? I'm running low.
- Yeah.
- OK. I shouldn't be too long.
Maybe.
All right. It's your shot.
- Here you are, my dear.
- Thanks.
Well, look at the beauty that
just walked into my store.
Lucky me.
Hi, Mikey.
- Your dad out of smokes?
- Yes.
I got a couple unopened
cartons in the back.
Oh... By the way...
Did you hear about Greg Foster?
No. What?
He, uh... He made parole
He's gonna be out next week.
That's three years early.
That's not right.
Well, he wouldn't have been
put away at all if it wasn't
for you. I'm grateful to ya.
Chelsea.
- Adam.
- I'll, uh... I'll just go
get those cigarettes.
Nah, I can do it, Gramps.
No, no, you stay and keep this
beautiful young lady company.
- Long time no see.
- And whose fault is that?
I've been coming in here at least
once a week. I was just on break
from school so I thought
I'd come help out Gramps.
I can't believe you're even standing here.
Why is that?
Well, I thought you'd be
in Berlin by now.
Wasn't that what you planned to do, go
see where your mom was born and all that?
Dusseldorf. Yeah.
I am gonna go soon.
I have my whole... trip planned
out, actually. I just...
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Here ya are, my dear.
You tell your dad to drop in
when he gets the chance, huh?
I will. Thank you. I'll, um...
I'll see you later.
Bye.
She's a good girl, that one.
- Hurry up. Open that drawer! Get the cash in there.
- Take whatever you want.
You're either gonna be very broke
or very dead. It's up to you.
- Take it all.
- Hurry up! - Yes, yes.
Greg?
Go, go, go, go, go!
Oh my God!
Mikey!
OK... OK...
Hi. I'm at Mikey's Food Mart
on 16th Avenue. The store's been
robbed; the owner's been hurt.
Yeah. Yeah. I know him.
His name is Greg Foster.
He... he got into a blue car
with some other guy.
They turned left
onto Purnell Avenue.
OK. You're gonna be OK.
The ambulance is on its way, OK?
I think a trip is the best way to
celebrate your tenth anniversary. Oh!
Ryan and I love, love, love
Buenos Aires. It's called
the Paris of South America.
Oh, my gosh! Although
I think he actually preferred
Rio better.
Where do you think you'll go?
Mmm. We actually haven't
discussed that. Have we, honey?
Well, no, I... It's impossible for either
of us to get any time off right now.
- Yeah.
- She's six days week
at the clinic and,
you know, I'm off at a...
conference almost
every weekend so...
I am gonna go find
my husband. Mm.
Night.
Who's texting you?
Probably work.
At nine-thirty
on a Saturday night?
Well, it's six-thirty
in California.
And some people do work
on the weekend.
Like you do.
Be right back.
- What's going on?
- Ah, I don't know, Ang.
Maybe I'm crazy.
K,
we both know you're not.
What's going on?
I think Jeff's having an affair.
What?
I haven't caught him...
or anything like that but...
I don't know. I just...
I know he is.
- How?
- He's been acting weird
and sneaky, and...
He always has some excuse
to be out of town.
- Did you ask him about it?
- I did.
He just denies it
and then he... acts like
I'm being overly sus...
Hey, honey, do we have any
more of that South African...
Private
conversation.
I'll ask the caterer.
K, we'll continue
the conversation later.
For now just play
the happy wife, OK?
Ang, I'm a vet,
not a politician.
And I'm a divorce
attorney. Trust me.
Would you excuse us
for a moment?
I've, uh... I've got
something for you.
Happy tenth anniversary.
Jeff, I don't wanna
do this here.
Well, what's going on?
Let's just do it at home.
Jeff, I'm gonna ask you this
one more time.
And I need an honest answer.
Just don't ask me
again if I'm having
an affair, please.
- Are you?
- No!
I am
so sick of you lying.
- Hey.
- Sorry I took so long to call.
How are you?
Hey, when can I see you again?
I miss you.
How 'bout I get us a room
tomorrow night?
The Randal Garden Inn downtown?
We can... order room service,
OK. What time?
I won't get there till after five, but
you can check in as early as three.
You know, after you get off
work if you want to.
- Love you.
- I love you too.
Bye.
Cheers.
You know, I see
that bitch sometimes.
The one that turned him in.
Doesn't she go to school
with you?
That ho-bag dropped out a few
months after his sentencing.
You can thank me for that.
I did what I could
to make her life hell. What?
She deserved it for lying her
ass off about my brother.
Greg just told me to keep tabs
on her. Find out
what she's doing, where she's
going. That kind of stuff.
He told me not to touch her.
Speaking of touching...
Let's go to your room.
- Too much to drink?
- I don't know.
It must have been the tequila.
Do not let Rascal talk you
into drinking that stuff, all
right? It's gonna rot your guts.
I feel
like my guts are rotting.
- You want some breakfast?
- I can make it.
I got it, sweetie.
I might not be able
to cook much, but eggs
I think I can handle.
Got some good news. Joey swung
by the bar last night after
you left. He's heading
to Alaska for work;
said I could go with him.
- On the crab boat?
- It's a lot of money.
How long?
Couple of weeks.
Till the season's over.
I leave in a few hours.
It's so dangerous.
Nah. Not if you know
what you're doing.
Sure. I guess.
Is everything OK?
Greg Foster's getting
out of prison.
Mikey told me last night.
Two years, it's all
he's gonna serve.
How's Mikey taking it?
You know how he is.
Rob a guy, beat him half
to death, you get a slap
on the wrist. I got friends doing a hell of a
lot more time. For what, sticking a needle
in their arms?
Be safe out there, OK?
I've seen those shows
where... people get
their hands caught in fishing
cables and stuff so...
I will keep my hands away
from any such cables.
I promise.
So you've been...
throwing up off and on
for a month, but...
last night was the first time
you fainted?
Yeah, pretty much. I have
to stop drinking tequila.
It's weird though; I didn't
even feel drunk.
OK, I hate to ask the obvious, but...
have you taken a pregnancy test?
I can't stop thinking about her.
You know. Who is she?
Who is this woman...
my husband's in love with?
OK. What are you gonna do?
Well, he said he was going out
of town tonight but, um...
They're actually
meeting at a hotel.
I'm gonna go.
Oh... Sonia, don't.
I just... I need to see
what she looks like. That's it.
This is...
This is gonna be OK.
I'm gonna see Jeff tonight
and I'm gonna tell him.
Is this someone you've been
seeing for a while?
Three and a half months.
But he's got... a really
steady job and he's
really solid. And...
I know he wants kids. I mean,
he and his wife tried
to have one a while ago,
but... she miscarried and
he was really upset about it.
His wife? Ex-wife.
I meant... ex-wife.
Chelsea.
Be honest. Is...
this guy married?
It's really just a matter
of paperwork. I mean,
they both... want a divorce.
How old is he?
I love him.
That's all that matters.
Everybody always gets
so caught up about things like
age and money, but... none
of that stuff matters. Love is
the most important thing.
- What does that mean?
- Liebe uberwindet
alles. "Love conquers all."
It was
my mother's favorite saying.
Hey, Liz?
I'll be right there.
You take your time.
I'll take care of these people.
Thanks.
My boyfriend made
a reservation for tonight.
- What's the name?
- Chelsea Sheridans, but he said
it might be under his name.
- Jeff Clefton? - Swimming
- Yeah.
Through the sadness
Here you go. Room
two-fourteen.
Elevator's to the left.
Thank you.

Hey! I didn't think
you were coming in today.
It's Dr. Westerly's weekend.
Oh, yeah, no. I... I'm not
officially here.
I just came to take care of some
stuff, paperwork. Oh, hey, how was
the anniversary party?
Uh... It was good, thanks.
God, Jeff...
- Hey.
- Hey.
I'm happy to see you.
Me too.
Been counting
the minutes all day.
Yeah, she does look young.
I don't give
this girl more
than twenty-two max.
Why would he wanna be with
someone who scoops ice cream
all day? I mean,
how could he bring
someone like that
to a work event, or...
to meet his parents?
No, he can't. It's obvious,
or people would think he was
insane. All right,
Jeff has issues.
And they're HIS issues.
This has nothing to do with you.
Hm. You make my life
so damn complicated.
It doesn't have to be.
We could make things official.
I know that's what you want,
and that time is coming.
I just have some stuff I still
gotta work through before
I can divorce my wife.
How long do you think
that's gonna take?
You keep asking me that
and I just don't have
an answer for you.
Longer than nine months?
Uh... Are you telling me
you're pregnant?
I... I know it isn't...
expected, but... you... you said
you always wanted babies and...
that you were devastated
when your wife miscarried.
Um... You said that you were
on birth control pills.
W... Were you? What...
I mean, what happened there?
Of course I did.
- You take 'em every day?
- Usually.
I... I may have missed
a day or two...
Chelsea! Look,
if I had known that,
I would have worn
protection myself.
Right?
I... I trusted you!
Are you saying
you can't trust me?
Look,
I, uh...
This is...
This is just... really
unexpected.
I don't get why you're mad.
I thought you'd be happy.
You keep saying that you wanna
marry me and have a family with me. And, yeah,
I get it. This... this is super unexpected,
but it's still
what we both want.
No. No, this is... This is
nothing like what I want.
I'm still married,
for crying out loud.
You're getting a divorce.
Your wife has a boyfriend
in New York.
She's not gonna care.
She doesn't...
She... She won't understand.
Hey.
Hey. Uh...
How far... How far
along are you?
- I don't know.
- OK.
Liz said I should probably
go see a doctor.
Liz, your boss?
Jesus, Chelsea.
How many people did you tell?
N...
No one else. I...
I should probably tell my dad.
Your dad,
no. That's... I mean...
Why involve him?
You know, this is...
This is about us.
Well, the... doctor
probably won't
let me sign any papers
until I'm eighteen.
Did you say you're...
you're not eighteen?
I'm seventeen.
No, no, no. That's...
not possible.
I met you in a bar.
You were drinking.
Right? So I don't...
I've been doing that
since I was fifteen.
Oh! Chelsea,
geez, what...
Why didn't you tell me?
- You never asked.
- Oh!
It's not like
I was hiding it from you!
- Ha!
- The other day I told you that
my mom's older than my dad
and you said
that age doesn't matter.
It matters if you're underage.
Are... I...
I need some time to think.
I just have to...
go somewhere and think.
- Are you leaving?
- I'm... gonna call you
tomorrow. I just, uh...
Till then,
can you just... not mention me
or the pregnancy
to anyone? Can you promise that?
OK?
Don't go. OK?
I love you.
I just... need
a little time alone.
OK? Please?
It's gonna be OK.
J... Jeff, please...
Listen, listen, listen.
Hey, hey...
We'll figure it all out. OK?
All right? We're...
We're gonna figure it out.
Just give me...
Give me a day or two.
Right? OK. OK.
You know, this is...
This is a lot. It's a lot
to, uh... process. So just...
you can stay here...
tonight. That's fine.
And, uh, I'll...
I'll call you tomorrow.
Um, I'll call you tomorrow.
It's gonna be OK.
OK, good night.
Chelsea, a real man would
have been supportive.
He should have just...
sat there and held you
and talked you through it.
Thank you.
What are you doing
with a married guy anyways?
I don't know. He told me
his marriage wasn't
going well and that...
his wife was cheating on him.
And so I just...
I thought he needed me.
Are you... Are you
in love with him?
Yeah. I think so.
He's got everything
that I want.
And what do you want?
Someone with a good job, like...
The kind you wear a suit to
and...
go to every day.
Something that's not
too dangerous.
I don't know. I guess I just...
want someone who I can...
sit in the grass with
and watch sunsets with.
I'm so sick and tired
of going to smoky bars.
You know?
Yeah, but...
What about someone that would be
stoked if you told them
you were having a baby.
Someone that wouldn't just
leave you hanging
to go home to his wife?
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have said that.
Chelsea... I hope it works
for you both. I really do.
But just know
that you deserve to be with
someone who will give you
everything you want.
Chelsea! You lying
little bitch.
My brother spent the night
in jail 'cause of you.
Lauren, the cops told me
not to talk to you.
I guess you better listen
then. You need to go back and
tell them he didn't do it. I'm not
gonna do that, because I saw him do it.
There's no way you saw him
'cause he said he wasn't there.
Either you made a mistake,
or you're lying. And why
would you try to screw us?
I've always been cool to you. That man is
in the hospital because of your brother.
Look, I don't have
anything against you,
but I'm not gonna lie to protect
him when I know he did it.
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
I'll catch you later.
Thank you.
Here's your change.
Enjoy.
Thank you.
Bye, sweetie.
Hi. Welcome
to Stella Luna.
I like your shirt. That's
a really great color on you.
Oh. Thank you.
- Can I offer you a sample?
- Actually, no.
Uh, I...
I already know what I want.
I'll just have a small, uh,
cookies and cream.
OK. Coming right up.
But first you have to try this.
My favorite flavor.
What do you think?
It's basil. I know it sounds
weird, but it is so good.
Hm. I like your necklace.
I'm guessing that
you probably got that
from your boyfriend.
Uh, no, actually.
It was my mother's.
My dad gave it to me.
It's my favorite thing I own.
Mm. Yeah,
mothers are pretty special.
Yeah.
She didn't give it to me;
my dad did after she died.
But she wore it all the time, so
it helps me feel close to her.
He said that I could have
her wedding ring
on my birthday so I'm gonna add
that to the chain too.
- When's your birthday?
- November.
Let me guess. Um,
twenty-two?
That's funny. Everybody always
thinks I'm older than I am,
but I'll be eighteen.
That'll be four-fifty, please.
I'm sorry about your mom.
Thanks.
How recent?
Um, she died when I was ten.
That's not really enough time
to get to know somebody,
but the memories I do have
are pretty great.
Thank you.
Have a great day.
See that right there?
That's the baby's feet.
So cool.
Is it a boy or a girl?
Still too early to know that.
At around twenty weeks
we'll be able to determine
the gender.
OK.
Would you like to hear
the heartbeat?
Yes.
Does the father
know you're pregnant?
Yeah. He, um,
he doesn't wanna be involved.
Mm.
Are you close to your parents?
My mom isn't
really around anymore,
but my dad and I
are pretty close.
Good. Well, we have
resources, financial
and educational,
for young women like yourself.
I'll let you get dressed
and we'll go
over them together. All right?
Thank you.
Hey, guys. The bartender
asked me
to bring this over.
Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Thank you.
Hey. You OK?
Yeah. I just needed
some quiet.
I'm not sure you're gonna get
that out here.
Mm.
Uh,
forgive me for saying,
but you don't really
blend in with the crowd
around here.
It's funny.
I was just thinking
the same thing about you
and your friend.
Orin. Yeah,
we just got some gas
down the road
and saw this place,
thought we'd check it out.
Orin's a cool name.
I guess so.
How 'bout you?
You got a cool name?
Chelsea.
- Nice.
- And you are?
Jeff. Just plain ole Jeff.
Except not that plain
and not that old.
That's very kind of you to say.
Still trying to figure out what you're
doing out here all alone, though.
- What's wrong with being alone?
- Nothin'.
It just doesn't seem...
Just figured there'd be
guys all over you
if you were back down there.
Yeah, well,
they're not my type.
Love conquers all?
Love conquers all.
- Yeah.
- Yah.
- Do you speak German?
- Ein bisschen.
Took it for a couple of years
in high school.
My mom was from Dusseldorf.
I've never been,
but I've seen pictures
and it looks beautiful.
Hey, man.
Did you find your wallet
or what?
Yes. Left in the car.
Go rack 'em.
I'll be right down.
Sure.
It was nice talking
with you, Chelsea.
Well, you can always talk
to me again sometime.
Tell you what.
You let me give you my number.
And that way,
I can leave it up to you.
Decision's in your hands.
OK.
OK.
Gute nacht.
Gute nacht.
Chelsea!
Hey.
You're seventeen, Chelsea.
Why would you possibly think
it's a good idea
to keep this baby?
I have nothing...
except my dad
who's never around.
I don't have a career
or an education,
but I have a baby
growing inside me,
a real baby with...
with a heartbeat
and little feet.
Do you know what that makes me?
That makes me a mom. That makes
me important to someone.
You're a high school dropout.
How can you possibly expect
to support a baby
on a minimum wage job?
You don't have any real income.
But you do.
Ah, good God.
And I can give
the baby love. That's more
than what most people have.
It's more than what I had.
I cannot financially support
a child if I am in jail.
And that's exactly
where I'm gonna wind up
if anyone finds out that I got
a seventeen-year-old pregnant!
It won't be like that.
Listen to me.
I need you to understand
the situation that I am in.
I spoke to a lawyer.
They'll char... they'll charge
me as a sex offender!
I'll lose my job.
There's no way I'll ever
be allowed near that baby.
- But we love each other.
- Could you...
stop
with the ethereal, whimsical,
happy-go-lucky BS!
This is real life, Chelsea!
Love does not conquer all!
Hey, just... just...
listen to me.
Hey.
I want what's right
for both of us.
You know that.
There's $10,000 in here.
Now you just let me take you
to get an abortion
and it's all yours.
You can go to Germany
or move out of here.
Anything you want.
I am not trying to buy you off.
It's only fair.
You give me what I want.
It's only right that you get
something in return.
I want this baby.
I need this baby.
I won't force you to be a part
of it. I won't tell anyone
you're the father.
Take the money.
Take the money.
Take it!
I don't want your money.
I'm keeping this baby, and if
you don't wanna be a part of it,
you can get out of our lives!
Ch-! Ah.
I miss you so much, Mom.
I miss you so much.
Hello?
- I'm a prick. - What do you mean?
- Well, I gave you a hard time
about being with that guy
and I had no right to do that.
It actually meant a lot to me
that you opened up
to me about everything.
Well, it turns out
that he wants nothing
to do with me or the baby.
God, I'm such an idiot
for even getting involved
with him.
Well, can I come over
and cheer you up?
Hey. There you are.
Did you work late tonight?
No, no,
I met Angela for drinks.
How was the conference?
Good.
It was good.
Did you meet anyone interesting?
Not really. Just the same old
crowd, you know.
Aren't you tired of lying?
What's that supposed to mean?
I know about Chelsea.
Who's Chelsea?
Stop. Just stop lying.
I know you met her at a hotel.
OK.
Yeah, I, uh...
slept with her,
but just a couple of times
and I certainly don't love her.
That's just...
supposed to make me feel better?
No.
Listen. I...
I knew it was wrong
and I ended it.
That's why I was at the hotel.
To break up.
I, I was miserable
the whole time. I, I...
How old is she?
She told me
she was twenty-one...
but she may be younger.
I'm sorry.
But... it's not like
I set out to hurt you or...
Jeff, I asked you so many times
if you were having an affair.
I knew in my gut
that you were. And how could you
deny it over and over?
God.
What happened to you?
I mean, were you always
like this and...
I just didn't see it?
What happened to me?
It's what happened to "us"...
Don't try to put it on us!
We used to be happy.
We used to relate
to each other, laugh, have fun.
But ever since
we lost the baby...
No, no, no. Don't go there.
That's exactly what I mean.
You'll never talk about it.
You'll never admit
that since the miscarriage,
we're miserable.
You're miserable.
The only thing I ever see
in your eyes any more
is disappointment.
Yeah.
Losing the baby
was disappointing...
But you dealt with it by...
running around with a teenager?
Yeah, it's, it's...
I'm sure it's easier
to hook up in hotel rooms
and plan secret meetings
instead of being a man
and dealing with your problems!
I never said I was perfect.
And yes, I slipped up;
I did something
I shouldn't have done. But I'm
not the first guy on the planet
to do it,
and you're not perfect either.
I didn't cheat on you.
No, no, you did something
just as bad though:
you gave up on us.
I don't give a crap
about that girl. I want you,
the one I fell in love with,
who I still love, but...
I don't know
where she is anymore.
She's been gone
since we lost the baby.
Let's go to counselling.
Let's put us back
together. We'll get
through all this and come out
the other side stronger.
No.
I don't...
I don't want that.
I'm asking Angela to draw up
divorce papers.
- What?
- Yeah.
I think it's best if you find
somewhere else to stay.
No.
Please don't say that.
Please.
You gonna try?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure
my doctor specifically told me
never to eat this.
Yeah, right, she did not.
All right.
Don't be a chicken; be brave.
Nope.
- That was amazing.
- I did it though,
so don't ever call me
a chicken again.
You're one
of the bravest people I know.
No, I mean that.
Look, what you did
for my grandpa,
when you testified back then,
I know you were scared
and you went through
and you did it anyway.
And I'll never forget that.
Thanks.
And you're gonna get
through this too. I know it.
You don't need some successful
businessman like Jeff
to help you either.
You're a tough little thing.
- Sonia...
- Don't.
OK, just...
Just don't.
- What did you find out?
- A bunch of stuff.
Here's the kicker: she was just
at a pregnancy clinic.
I think she's knocked up.
Really?
I'm not a hundred percent
sure, but...
I think he doesn't want
the baby and she does.
They were arguing about it
in front of her house.
And he's rich too.
Throwing money around,
literally.
I'm thinking possibilities
right now.
I just want revenge for them
putting you away
for something you didn't do.
Look how much you've suffered.
And gelato bitch
can't make it right...
But sugar daddy can.
Hello?
Yes, it is.
What?
- Woman:
- They're keeping him
sedated. Yeah, I don't know
for how long.
Hang on.
She's pregnant.
Hey.
I remember you. You work
down the street, right?
Basil gelato?
Aw...
All these baby clothes
are so cute.
I wish I could afford
to buy them all.
Do you have a baby?
No, no. I just love kids.
How 'bout you?
I'm actually expecting.
Oh. Congratulations.
- Thank you.
- Do you have a name picked out?
Uh, no.
Not yet, but I am open
to suggestions.
Oh.
You know, for,
for a boy, Alexander.
And for a girl, Annette.
Both A's. They'll both
be first when the teacher
asks them to line up.
I never thought of that.
Alexander was my grandfather's
name, and Annette
was my grandmother's.
People don't do that
as much anymore,
name kids after family members.
No.
No, they don't.
What about your boyfriend
or... or husband?
We are not really
together anymore,
so it's just up to me.
I'm... I'm sorry
to hear that.
It happens.
I still think I'm gonna be
a good mom.
I actually start
a parenting class next week.
Oh, that's great.
Bye.
Oh. Bye.
This place is really expensive.
Chelsea, no budget tonight, OK?
Gramps picked the place
and he gave me his credit card.
- Really?
- Yeah.
He was thrilled when I told him
I was taking you out on a date.
So this is a date?
I mean, isn't it?
I mean, no pressure
if you don't want it to be.
But this is my best tie,
so if we could make it...
Why would you wanna date
a pregnant girl?
I don't see you
as a pregnant girl; I just...
I see you as Chelsea, a girl
I've liked for a long time.
Yeah, but eventually
I'm gonna have a kid
and that kid isn't yours.
I'm not sure I get
where you're going with that.
Why would you wanna bother
with someone else's child?
You don't think you can love
a baby that you didn't create?
- No, of course I do.
- I would know firsthand,
'cause I was adopted.
- You were?
- Yeah.
I was, by two fantastic parents
that love me
as much as anyone could.
Look, Chelsea, it doesn't matter
who contributes a sperm
or contributes an egg.
What matters is in your heart.
After that, it's just biology.
And I think you should have
some of this. It's my favorite.
OK.
I don't know.
But I just feel
like somebody needs
to stand up for Chelsea.
She's about to become a mother.
Yes. That, my love,
is not your problem.
I know,
but maybe I can help make a
difference in this child's life
if I can convince him
to take responsibility.
What is going on
with you and this girl?
It's just... the more
I find out about her,
the more I wanna know.
How many times
have you seen her?
Just a few.
Last time we talked
about baby names.
OK, Sonia!
Mm. I'm sorry.
I can't explain it.
I just feel some sort of
connection to her.
And I don't know,
maybe it's because we both lost
our moms at a young age
or because we were both
duped by the same guy.
But Ang, she is not this evil
little homewrecker.
She's... she's really
sweet and... nalve.
Thanks for dinner.
It was really nice going
on a real date.
Yeah.
Maybe we can do it again
when I get back.
You going somewhere?
Yeah, just for a few days.
I gotta go
to Ohio. My cousin's
getting married.
Kinda have to go.
I'm in the wedding so...
Sounds fun.
Yeah. So is that a yes?
I can take you out again?
That... that is a yes.
Cool.
Well, good night, Chelsea.
Good night.
Thanks for coming.
I can only imagine
what you're feeling,
me having a baby with her
and not with you.
You have no idea
what I'm feeling.
I wasn't trying
to get her pregnant, Sonia.
I offered her money
to get rid of it, but...
You tried to pay her off?
You know as well as I do that
it makes no sense
for her to keep it.
She's too young and I have
no desire to be involved.
Do you hear yourself?
Do you understand
the ramifications here?
If she keeps the baby,
eventually everyone
will realize that I knocked up
a seventeen-year-old.
I don't deserve to be on some
sex offender list
like a creepy pedophile.
She's about to become
a teenage mother.
You owe it to her to help her.
I owe it to myself to do
what my lawyer tells me to do.
I don't know
who you are anymore.
Here ya go.
- Hi.
- Hey.
I'll have
a basil gelato, please.
Got you hooked
on that one, didn't I?
Yeah, I crave it.
Um, I brought you
a little something.
Thank you.
Yeah. I just thought
you could use them.
One basil gelato
coming right up.
Thanks.
And I never even finished
high school so...
You dropped out? Why?
My grades were fine
and all. I just...
My dad wasn't really around much
so it was hard to get a ride.
And then when
he actually was home,
he often stayed out late.
So it was...
Wait a minute! No way.
Oh, my God! I know him.
- Who? What? - I gotta go.
- Are you OK?
Yeah. I'm just gonna try to
catch a bus before it gets dark.
- Hang on. Let me drive you.
- You sure? It's pretty far.
- It's fine.
- OK. Um, we have to go now.
So, who was that guy?
Mikey warned me
he was getting out but...
I didn't think
he'd come looking for me.
Honey, I think that
instead of taking you home,
I should take you to the police.
You need to tell them
what happened.
But...
what are they gonna do?
It's not just me anymore.
I have to think
about my baby's safety too.
He's right here.
Greg Foster.
As a condition of his parole, he
can't make contact. He didn't, did he?
We didn't give him a chance.
OK.
I'll let
his parole officer know.
In the meantime, Chelsea,
do you have someplace else
you can stay?
Relatives or a friend's?
Um...
She can stay with me.
Uh...
I live in Huntington Heights
and we have a security system.
We?
Oh! My, my...
my husband and I.
But we're separated,
so it's just me.
Good.
Now if you see Foster
lurking again,
call me.
If he does anything
that allows me to arrest him
on a violation, I will.
Here's my card.
- Thank you.
- Absolutely.
Hi.
Ready?
Are you sure
you want to do this?
I mean, you're being
really nice,
but you don't even know me.
Chelsea, uh,
I need to tell you something.
When I came
into the gelato shop,
it wasn't an accident.
I wanted to meet you.
Why?
Because Jeff, um...
your Jeff, is...
he's my husband,
soon to be ex-husband.
What?
Did he put you up to this?
No! No, not at all.
He doesn't even know we talked.
Why is everyone always lying to me?
Chelsea, please, let me explain.
I want you out.
I told you everything about me.
Stop.
You need to hear
what I have to say.
Jeff doesn't know I'm here.
I suspected he was
having an affair,
so...
I went to the hotel
where you and he met.
I just needed to see
what you looked like.
Anyway, I was shocked
at how young you are and...
I just wanted to know more
about you. That's it.
Well, now you know
everything there is to know.
No, that doesn't...
That's not it.
When I first met you that day,
you were just so sweet.
You know, I genuinely liked you.
I wanted to hate you,
but it was the opposite.
And then I realized
that we'd both been played
by the same person.
How can you say that you were played
when you did the exact same thing?
- What?
- Your boyfriend in New York,
the one you hid
from him for months.
Is that what he said?
What a jerk.
I...
I didn't have a boyfriend
in New York, or anywhere else.
I was completely faithful
our entire marriage.
Chelsea,
he lied to us both.
And he's trying to get out
of supporting your baby
and that's wrong.
OK? You can't
let him do that.
He wants nothing to do with it.
Hey.
Everything's gonna be OK.
OK? I promise.
So where's Jeff staying?
Is he with a friend
or something?
Uh, he is in the hospital,
probably for another week.
Why?
- Text from Cassandra. Would you like me to read it?
- Yes.
"Emergency here.
Dog hit by a car.
Westerly is requesting
your assistance."
- I'll be right there.
- Sending "I'll be right there."
We are gonna have
to swing by the clinic.
OK?
Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
OK, sweetie. Hang on.
Just need to get you stabilized
so we can check
for internal bleeding.
Good girl. OK.
Have you ever had a pet?
Nah.
My dad never really wanted any.
Well, maybe...
we could take her home
with us tonight.
Can we?
I'll get a crate.
OK. Did you hear that?
Is everything OK?
I'm really sorry
for breaking up your marriage.
Chelsea, you didn't
break up our marriage.
Jeff did that.
I still feel bad.
You're a good person.
You deserve a good guy.
So do you.
Do you need your bag?
Oh, my vet bag? No, we can
just leave it in the car.
Can I ask you something?
Of course.
Jeff told me that...
you lost a baby.
Is that true?
Yes.
That part is true.
I got pregnant a year
and a half ago. I miscarried.
- I'm sorry.
- Thank you.
At least that part wasn't a lie.
You know...
the one thing I know
I've always wanted was kids.
You would have been a good mom.
You actually remind me
a little bit of mine.
I do?
Yeah.
Chelsea's here.
It's a long story.
Don't ask any questions. But,
um, I'll look at the paperwork
when I get some time alone, OK?
Listen, I've gotta run.
Someone's at the door.
OK, I will. Bye.
Special delivery.
Hello, Chelsea.
Now that we're all here...
let's get down to business.
Here's what's going
to happen next.
You, Sonia Clefton,
are gonna write a check
to Chelsea for 50 grand.
And Chelsea and I are going
to go to the bank
and cash that check.
My companion is gonna stay here
and keep you company.
What? What, what, what?
Ah!
Speak.
The bank won't cash
a check that large.
She's gonna have to deposit it
and wait for the funds
to transfer.
Well, I need that money.
So you need to figure it out.
OK. OK. We...
We have cash in a...
- Spit it out.
- We have cash
in a safety deposit box.
How much?
25,000. And...
with the jewelry inside,
and the money it's...
it's way over fifty.
I want to explain
my little insurance policy so
that we're all very, very clear.
While I'm at the bank with you,
she's gonna take Chelsea
to an undisclosed location.
If my companion doesn't
get a text from me
by 5PM saying
that I have the money,
Chelsea dies.
And so does her baby.
As long as you do what I say,
everyone's going
to be just fine.
Lauren and I will be long gone
and you'll never have
to deal with us again.
- Please, just let me...
- Shut your mouth!
Make this easy.
All right? Let's go.
Chelsea really won the lottery
when she found you, huh?
Whatever you think
Chelsea owes you, I'll pay it.
Whatever it takes
to get everything back to even.
Yeah, that's something
a rich person would say.
No amount of money
can make things right.
It's 3 years of my life, gone...
forever.
You're right, but...
the next 3 can be
very different.
Chelsea's just a child
and so is your sister.
Don't drag them into something
that you and I can work out.
I like how you think.
Let's start with the bank and
we'll see where this goes, huh?
Lauren, he's not
gonna let us go.
- He said he would!
- You're out of your mind.
I already called the cops
on him once.
Lauren, he's gonna kill us
unless you stop him.
And you're gonna spend
the rest of your life in jail.
- Shut up!
- Lauren, I...
I said shut up!
Get in line.
Where are we going?
You'll find out very soon.
May I help you?
Hi. Um, the name is
Sonia Clefton,
and I'd like to access
my safety deposit box, please.
OK. If you need anything else,
I'll be right outside.
Let's go. Open it.
Very simple.
Close it up.
Call him.
We're done in here.
- Is everything OK, ma'am?
- Sonia, we've gotta hurry.
We've gotta go
or we're gonna be late, huh.
OK, well, if there's
nothing else I can do for you,
you folks have a fine day.
We will.
Thanks again.
Drive.
You got what you wanted.
Text your sister.
Change of plans.
We're going
to tell her in person.
Now turn on the car and drive.
Drive!
Walk that way.
Sit down and don't move.
- Pull over. Right here.
- OK.
Shut it off.
Get out.
Come on. Get out!
Against the car.
Turn around. Turn around!
OK! OK.
It's my turn to drive.
You crazy bitch!
Sit down!
Are you stupid?
Do you want to die right here?
Put that down.
Don't move.
They're here. Let's go.
Get out.
Chelsea.
I am so sorry.
Did you get the money?
Just like she said.
Plus a few other surprises too.
Good. Let's get
the hell out of here.
Sis, go get those shovels.
What shovels?
Right there.
Go get them. Do it!
Go!
Greg, what's going on?
First thing these two are
gonna do is go to the cops.
- No, I swear we won't.
- Shut your mouth.
Stop here.
Just cut them loose.
Give them the shovels.
Come here.
Right here! Let's go!
Start digging.
Dig!
OK!
You said we weren't
gonna kill anybody.
Yeah, well, I lied.
We don't have a choice.
- Greg, think about...
- Shut up.
Dig!
What are we gonna do
when we get to South America?
Sis, I told you,
I've got it all planned out.
What? What?
Get your ass up, dig...
What the... Greg?
Get off him! Get off of him!
You stay there.
Chelsea! Stop. Don't move.
Greg? Greg?
Get behind the tree, quick!
OK. I don't see her.
- Is Greg dead?
- No, it was just a sedative,
but only enough for a 90-pound dog.
He's not gonna be knocked out for long.
- So what do we do? Keep going?
- No, just stay here. - OK.
Lauren!
You killed him,
you stupid bitches!
Stay still. All right?
I'm gonna put pressure
on it to stop the bleeding.
I don't want to die.
Do you have a phone?
In my pocket.
Call 911.
Are you OK?
Yes. I need the police
and paramedics.
Two people have been shot
and I think one might be dead.
Chelsea, she's beautiful.
Hey.
Are you sure
you want to do this?
You can change your mind
if you want to.
I want my baby to have
the best mom in the world.
And right now
I think that's you.
You can see her
any time you want.
I think she needs a name.
I want you to name her.
Annette.
After your grandmother.
Thank you.
- Hi!
- Miss Annette.
Oh. Hey, guys.
Look who's here!
- Sweetie.
- Hi.
- How you feeling?
- A little tired, but I'm OK.
- Hey.
- Hey.
So good to see you.
Yeah, you too.
I love you.
I love you too.
OK. That's enough,
you two.
Have you heard anything
from Jeff?
Nope! But Orin said
that he was fired
from showing up to work late.
I guess he's spending every
other weekend in Atlantic City.
I don't know. I don't care.
- What a loser.
- Yeah.
But it looks
like you've traded up.
- Yeah, I have.
- Yeah.
- Hey!
- Hi!
So you ready to go?
Traffic looks pretty bad
around the airport.
We should probably get going.
Yeah.
Chelsea, I want you to have
the best time in Germany.
Thank you. I...
I still can't believe
I'm doing this.
I can!
Bye, Annie.
Be good for your mama, OK?
- Bye, sweetie.
- Bye.
- I'll miss you.
- Miss you too.
See you guys
in a few weeks. OK?
- Bye.
- Bye.
Can you say "bye-bye"?
Say "bye-bye"!
