Beauty from Pain (2025)

Post by bunniefuu »

[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 f*cking 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 sh*t 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 vag*na.

- [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 sh*t 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 f*ck-me pumps

- For a bunch of horny b*stards?

- [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

f*ck me.

Say it like you mean it.

f*ck 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. f*ck!

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 w*r 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 f*ck with me, Audrey.

Jack

Get the f*ck 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.

- f*ck 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 wh*re to him.

- [Laurelyn sobs]

- [Jack] What did he do to you?

- What the f*ck 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 sh*t 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 g*y.

- [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 k*lling 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 k*lled

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 f*ck

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 ba*ls

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 w*nk*r.

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]

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

[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.
