- Go now!

Kate!

What do you want to call on a ported mother?

Well, I had a miscarriage four years ago and shortly after, I was told I had ovarian cancer.

I've always known that one day I'd like children, so I've frozen my oocytes.

Then I was removed from the ovaries, the fallope trunks and everything else.

And a month ago, I learned that there was only one viable embryo left for me that was still transferable, so I know this is my last chance.

Are you married?

Yes, he's... he's very motivated.

What's his name? What does he do in life?

Jacob. He is a writer and teacher.

Jacob Kelly?

- Jacob Kelly, the novelist?

Yes, that's him.

And remember what we saw together last semester.

This is what your character does, especially in the last part of your story,

Which reveals the true meaning of your history.

Miss McKendrick, we're listening.

At the end of your news, who does what to whom and why?

? The heroine decides to kill his wicked rival ?

But I know it's super clich�, actually, my story is darn dreadful.

- No, no, not so fast, tell us about your bad guy.

Do not forget that at the level of the plot, the villain has much more importance than the hero

Then you have to treat your wicked one.

- Go on.

In fact, it's happening in a small town at the bottom of Wisconsin.

? That older boy she immediately falls in love with ?

So there's one or more scenes where you describe his feelings for this boy.

So how do you express how she feels?

Well, you don't have to make tons of it.

On the contrary, we must make tons of them.

You all know Kate, I guess, and she works at the reception.

Well, let's say your character does something completely crazy.

And now, Kate, I'm gonna need your help.

Something like...

I know, but I think this semester, students in this class want to get involved.

If you read some of the stories they write, you would be surprised by the quality of writing.

I feel that the sweet fruit juice they have used will serve as a job for you to focus on what is thought.

Then you get rid of it.

Hello, Jacob.

Hello, are you all right?

Yes, I wanted to tell you that everyone here considers you.

As one of the best professors at the university.

Thank you very much.

Would you sign it for me?

I can't wait to start it.

I have to admit that right now, that's exactly what I need to hear.

Why are you working on something?

Yes, I just started a new novel, at least the first jet.

To tell you the truth, I've been a little stuck lately.

But I'll get back to it.

I'm sure whatever happens, your next novel will be really exciting.

Thank you.

Good evening, darling.

- I'm sorry, honey.

Hey.

I had to show a house and the buyer made me leek for an hour.

Ah, seriously?

Kate, do you remember my wife, Alison?

Oh, yes, we saw each other at the Christmas party.

Yes, that's right.

How are you?

Good.

How's she doing?

Of course, yes.

What's the matter?

I don't know if I could.

- What?

- Forgive my husband.

If he had been unfaithful to me.

- Jacob Kelly cheated on his wife?

Don't you know about this?

Oh, he talked about it on TV.

That was about five years ago.

With whom?

A girl he went out with when he was a student.

In the end, maybe I could forgive

To such an attractive man.

And it's gonna cost us a little bit more than we expected.

What do you mean?

All included in the 90,000.

- $90,000?

I thought it was supposed to be around 15,000.

That's the surrogate's salary.

We must also pay the hormones, the transfer of the embryo,

Medical follow-up.

It's all very expensive, we've already talked about it.

A year ago.

I'm sorry to come back to that again,

But we couldn't ask a friend to do it.

Do you know anyone who would agree to do this for us?

- No.

Listen, this girl looks great.

Her name is R�mi.

We have an appointment with her tomorrow morning at 10:00.

Okay, we'll meet her then, we'll see.

I don't know, I don't race.

1:00 p.m., that's no problem.

Three years ago, I carried my big sister's child and...

Actually, I really loved being pregnant.

I don't know, feeling that there's a life growing inside of yourself is...

It's indescribable and...

I really wish that any woman who wants to be able to live this.

I feel sorry with all my heart.

Those who will never get that chance and...

That's the main reason I want to do it.

But how can we be certain that...

Above all, do not take it as a personal attack.

And although Remi won't drink and party every night.

Our surrogate mothers undergo regular blood tests.

Therefore, there is no risk.

Besides, R�mi isn't what we could call a party girl, is he?

It's true, I admit, I'm a bit of a cheerleader.

Listen, go home, think about it.

And when you've made your decision, come back to me.

We'll discuss it together.

We're ready to get started.

Well, that's great news.

So, where do we sign?

We're ready.

- That's for sure.

Do you live far away?

Right here, it's gonna be okay, thank you.

Are you sure?

So, I'll see you at the clinic next week?

Yeah, we do that.

I'm really looking forward to carrying our baby.

Yes, that's how it is.

? I miss you, you're my best friend to you ?

Excuse me, I admit I still have a bit of trouble getting excited about you wearing someone else's baby in your stomach.

We really need this money, I'm doing it for us, Matt.

And what do these people do in life?

Well, actually, they work in real estate.

And he's a well-known novelist.

What's his name?

- Jacob Kelly.

Never heard of it.

- It doesn't matter.

- I'm gonna take a shower.

He just sent me a message, she's in Los Angeles.

She's got a new cell phone number and she wants us to meet somewhere tonight.

? It happens to me all the time I've got two left hands ?

My name is Suzanne. I'm delighted, too, and thank you for your help, but for nothing no problem.

? You come here often with someone yeah ? I'm waiting for a girlfriend ? She's apparently late and you ?

I got a phone call finally it doesn't come oh not too bad when we go to dating sites it's part of the

Risks

What are you drinking?

A cocktail of fruit.

Really?

- Oula, go easy, honey.

- Can I get you another one?

So we can celebrate the rake I just took.

- No, it's okay.

Ah, please, I insist.

Okay.

Great.

Don't move, I'll be right back.

Shall I serve you?

Two fruit cocktails.

- Two?

- It'll make you feel better.

Keep the change.

Thank you very much.

You're welcome.

At girls' parties.

And the boys who plant us.

Yes.

The guys over there are gonna invite us to dance.

What's the matter?

No, it's out of the question for me to dance.

- I'm telling you, you're in a can.

No, and the boxes are made to dance.

- I don't want to.

- I'm sorry, but it's not.

We've been looking for Nancy, I think she's here.

- No, she's not here.

She'd come here, she'd have to join me.

Come with me, let's get some air.

- You're going, it's that way.

Follow me.

Oh, it's okay.

Okay.

Wait, we have to warn her that we're leaving.

- I'm not gonna leave her here alone.

- No, you don't have to, Nancy.

- She didn't come.

You're taking me.

Come on, come on.

- It's turning.

We're almost there.

Goodbye.

Where are you going?

Hey, hey, what a beautiful life.

- I'm wrong here, I've got to call my boyfriend, I'm gonna go home.

- Leave it, I'll do it.

- I'll call him.

Dan, there.

You're gonna fall.

Thank you.

- Come on, let's get a closer look at this.

I'm going on the other side, I have to call my boyfriend.

- That's great, you'll see.

- No.

Don't worry, we're safe.

- Take a look at the view.

I want to go down, it's dangerous to come here.

Are you gonna call my boyfriend or not?

- It's all right.

- Street too far from the box?

Let me buy you one more drink.

There's a very nice coffee just down the street.

- I can't. I'm working tomorrow.

Really, Tondale?

How do you know?

� Parking permit for staff.

Come on, just a cup of coffee.

Did you say you didn't have any friends right now?

- I don't have one, but there's a man I'm in love with.

Does he know how lucky he is?

He'll know soon.

I think everyone has a story to tell.

Everybody.

There are times that we all need to entrust to another person.

Why?

Because we use it.

Because we use it.

We all want at least one person to understand us.

I love you, Jacob.

I called you as soon as I heard the news.

I'm so sorry.

Is this a suicide?

The police don't think so.

Based on the preliminary toxicological analysis report,

She would have consumed ecstasy shortly before her death.

- Ecstasy?

No, but what kind of organization do you lead?

Your daughters are supposed to be of exemplary sobriety.

I assure you that we had carefully checked his background.

And she had been tested for drugs.

I wouldn't have put you in touch with her if anything in her file had aroused my suspicions.

But since we started the procedure, I think it's important that we quickly find another surrogate mother that suits you.

I have a few candidates here that I would like to introduce to you.

No, thank you, but for us, it ends there. I want my check back.

Come on, Mr. Kelly, calm down, maybe you should take a few days to think about it.

- Give us back our $10,000 or you'll hear about our lawyer.

I think it would be better if you found another surrogate here.

- No, Jacob, let's go, please.

You don't have to get mad like that.

Are you smiling like that?

Excuse me, Nancy, I...

We've... Remi's dead.

Last night, when she came out of the box, she climbed onto the roof and apparently fell.

The police said she... that she took ecstasy.

Someone must have put it in his glass.

Did you see anything?

Ben, you were with her last night.

- Sleeping in San Francisco.

Not with R�mi last night.

The last time I came to Los Angeles was two years ago.

And I thought we finally found the solution.

It's a question of whether we can really trust these agencies.

And you didn't consider, I don't know, asking a friend to do it?

Yes, but Alison thinks no one will.

All she has to do is have a first baby, that's right.

By the way, you've had a child. What are you doing for the next nine months?

Oh, no way. I don't want to relive this.

Thank you, anyway.

See you later.

Do you have a second?

Uh... yes, of course.

I had a baby, you know, when I was 20.

I mean, if you want me to.

When Jacob told me you were ready to do this for us, I...

I confess, I was a little surprised.

Ah, I'd be happy to help you.

We've checked your background.

You don't have a record.

I contacted your three reference people today.

And they all told me good things about you.

- Excellent news.

Yes, but as far as your bank accounts are concerned,

I noticed something... let's say a little strange.

Really?

As I understand it, you have a line of credit that's about a million dollars.

This means you have a lot of money.

It's not common for someone your age.

Yes, I've... actually, it's because I've touched a legacy.

My father died a few years ago.

Look, it's true that you know very little about me.

But when Jacob told me about the trials that you have gone through in recent years,

The loss of your baby and then the cancer affected me.

I thought that offering you my help would be the least of all things.

Do you mind if we give you a moment?

Oh, no, please.

We didn't even know the other girl and I wouldn't go back to one of her agencies.

I don't know what to think.

I'm reassured that she had her baby adopted.

It proves that it puts the child's interest ahead of the rest.

Look, I know how much you want this baby.

- I want it, too.

Well, I'll be honest with you.

At first, there were twelve frozen embryos.

Unfortunately, eleven of them did not hold.

There is only one viable embryo left, one chance to become parents.

You must promise us not to disappoint us.

I won't disappoint you.

All right, so let's do it, this baby.

I'm so happy.

Well, we wrote an official contract, all you have to do is take it home and take a look at it, okay?

Why don't we take a picture of the three of us?

Yes.

Okay.

Wait a second.

Can you do it?

If you want, I have the slowest arm.

You press here.

Okay.

Here you go.

How's it going?

Yes.

Now I'm going to introduce the catheter through the cervical canal to the bottom of the uterus.

It might be a little unpleasant, but it'll only take a minute.

Take all your time, I want to enjoy it.

Another girl, and you remember what she looked like?

? Brune, hair squared, very well fucked ?

- I can't give you more details.

? I see 20 or 30 like her every night ?

Did you see him talk to someone else?

- I don't think so.

Now that we're talking about it, his girlfriend here, it's the brown hair cut squared.

? There was a guy dragging her to death ?

? I've seen him before ?

He comes here from time to time. I think he's Iranian.

Otherwise, did you get the inspiration for your next novel?

Actually, I agreed to give more classes next semester, so...

I really wouldn't have time to write a novel.

Oh, poor thing, I'm gonna cry.

Just show Kate the baby's room.

Oh, yes, you have to see her, she's so pretty.

You can't stop.

Your books are the best thing you have to offer to the world.

You should be able to write all day if you want to.

I beg your pardon.

It turns out I really, really liked your book.

You were right, it's so cute.

Yes.

Two years ago, before I had a miscarriage, we completely redone the room.

Look at this.

And those cute little stuffed things.

Jacob made this cradle himself.

Would you like a girl or a boy?

Let's say it would be good if this child loved pink.

Did you choose a first name?

My grandmother's name.

My mother embroidered him.

Alison, you can't tell how happy it is to see you so enthusiastic.

I have every reason to be. Thanks to you, my dearest dream will finally come true.

So, what does it feel like to know that maybe you'll be mommy soon?

It's... it's hard to describe.

I feel like there's already an unwavering connection between me and the baby.

Even though I've never met him before.

In the evening, before falling asleep, I imagine myself with him in his arms for the first time.

I've been waiting for this moment for years.

Yet, deep down, I already know that... it will be extraordinary.

Are you ready?

Yes.

Okay.

? Smile, mouse ?

Great.

? Smile, to you ?

- No, it's okay.

Oh, yes, I need to do it to you, too, a little smile.

Okay.

Actually, I only have one for a second.

? It's weird ?

- Okay, let's go to dessert.

So, can we see what it's like?

- Of course you're ready?

? There you go, look ?

- Oh, my God.

- Alison, you need to see this.

- That's cool, isn't it?

? Look, it's amazing ?

It's an application I downloaded

- Face of my future baby.com

? I can't believe it ?

? It's beautiful, it's great ?

If you want, I can send it to you by e-mail.

- That's nice.

- That's normal.

Well, can I use your bathroom?

Yes, of course.

Thank you.

I'm so happy.

- I can't believe it.

- University messenger.

Hey, Kate.

How are you?

A bunch of giant roses at $300.

What about express delivery?

Thank you very much.

Do you know who that is?

- I have no idea.

Kate, did you get the roses?

Please, Mr. Kelly.

Please come to me...

- No.

If he needs you.

- I didn't detect any anomalies.

Blood circulates well.

Everything seems normal to me.

You are every night for two months for nothing.

That's the guy you're looking for, right there, the one with a black shirt.

Did the bartender say she was a brunette?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, her name was Suzanne.

But she sent me to walk, and when I came home, I fell on her.

I saw her returning to her car.

What kind of car?

It was a metallic blue hatchback.

In fact, there was one of those parking permits reserved for staff on the windshield.

I don't remember the name. It was a university.

- Whitmore?

- Whittendale?

Yeah, that's it.

Well, I didn't expect to see you, of course.

What's going on?

Nothing, you can't understand, I wouldn't have...

If something's wrong, you can tell me, you can tell me.

No, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

Listen, come sit down, I'll get you a glass of water.

Okay, water, a glass of water, it's okay.

Okay, I'll be right back.

Here, drink.

Now, tell me what's going on, because now I'm starting to worry.

You can't understand, anyway, I have to go.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

Where's she going?

- I don't have a clue.

She came to the door, she was on the edge of tears and...

But... she's fine, I mean...

- I don't know.

What did you do to him?

Nothing!

I asked her what was happening to her, but she wouldn't tell me.

Did you touch her?

I don't understand why she was screaming, don't touch me if you haven't touched her.

I mean, I'm telling you, I didn't touch her.

I asked her several times what she had, she didn't want to tell me.

- I don't know anything more.

Okay, I'll call him.

Injured, that's the last thing I wanted.

That's why I didn't tell you.

Tell me what happened, I want to know everything.

Actually, it started the week I got on the team.

He often gave me thoughts that made me uncomfortable.

I thought it wasn't very bad.

But after the embryo was transferred, he started sending me e-mails.

If he'd written to you, I'd have seen him.

Not since his personal address, that of the university.

Did he write to you?

At first, nothing shocking.

He told me about the baby, about your joy of being a parent soon.

Then he started flirting with me.

I replied that it was totally inappropriate to write to me such things.

Then he stopped.

But a few weeks ago, I received a huge bouquet of roses at the office.

Are you sure it came from him?

The map said from Jacob.

I also received this package.

And last weekend, he even asked me to join him in a hotel.

I want to see his e-mails.

Hello, this is a message for Jennifer.

My name is Jacob Kelly and I'm calling about a letter of recommendation.

That you wrote for Kate Randall.

He wrote to me about ten times.

I told him that if he continued, I would have to tell you about it.

What were you doing with us today?

This morning, at the university, he told me to stop by.

Allison, he told me you'd be here, too, I swear.

But when I rang at the door, he was the only one.

And when I came in, he tried to kiss me.

Nothing she told you is true.

- This girl's completely barred.

So, how do you explain that?

That's your credit card statement.

- Roses are worth $300.

I didn't offer flowers to anyone.

You spent $450 on lingerie and you spent more money on this hotel room than on our new trip.

She had to get my credit card number, I don't know how.

Oh, don't think I'm an idiot, you harassed her, I read your e-mails.

What e-mails?

The ones you sent to him, you know, from your business address.

What is this story? I never use it, no one uses it.

The last time I opened my mailbox was months ago.

What do you say all the teachers use it?

Yes, I don't use it.

When I want to say something to my students, I do it in class.

Look, I didn't write this.

Oh, yes, it's you. I recognize your style.

There's a lot of people who know my style.

You can imagine how easy it is for a university employee to hack my mailbox.

That's what happened right here next to you.

Alison, obviously, this girl decided to hurt me, I don't know why.

I had the feeling that we were wrong to trust him now, I'm sure.

I'm reminding all these reference people.

I want to talk to someone who really knows her.

At least admit it, it's the idea of becoming a father that terrorizes you.

That's ridiculous.

Then you thought you were going to buy yourself a last single affair before you land and raise a child.

No, but do you at least realize what you just said?

You did exactly the same thing with your old college girlfriend five years ago.

First it was seven years ago, not five, and then we weren't dating at college.

In fact, you'll never change, it's my fault.

? I shouldn't have trusted you, but this time I want you to leave ?

Wait, where do you want me to go?

- Go to the hotel, apparently you can afford it.

- I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean...

What does it involve?

Kate, surrogate mother.

He's a well-known novelist.

- Oh, yeah?

Yes.

What's his name?

- Jacob Kelly.

Never heard of it.

You're in love with this writer, aren't you?

You wanted to wear her baby at all costs, so you killed my girlfriend.

Just to do it in his place.

- Oh, my God.

Don't you want to talk?

- It doesn't matter.

We're gonna call Jacob Kelly and see what he thinks of all this, right?

- Yes, hello?

- Mr. Kelly?

My name is Matt.

- I'm R�mi's boyfriend.

I've got some information about the surrogate you hired.

- Can you hear me?

Hello, this is Jacob Kelly, we've been cut, I think.

Then call me back as soon as you can.

You must know him, don't you, Kate?

Remi's boyfriend.

He called me because he had information about the surrogate mother I hired.

What do you think he was talking about?

- Leave me alone.

You hacked into my mailbox.

Why did you write all these messages by pretending to be me?

And you right now, or I'll call the police.

Wait, you stole my credit card number to buy stuff on the internet, so I should call the police instead.

Kate, you're carrying my child, I want to know what you're doing.

Do you want to screw my couple up? That's what you're trying to do? Explain to me because I don't understand.

I don't understand why you're hurting my wife, who, as by chance, thinks you're the best friends in the world now.

- I was gonna go.

Then tell me why you're doing this, what did I do to deserve this?

Don't touch me, I don't have to tell you anything.

I won't let go of you, either way, I'll end up...

What's the matter?

It's very spacious.

There are four bedrooms, three bathrooms.

Excuse me, you can come in, it's open, I'll join you.

Hello, Kate, how are you?

What do you mean?

Let me guess, Kate called you?

How could you do that?

She deserved it.

No, but it's not okay, no one in the world deserves to be hit to the point of ending up in the emergency room.

- What?

You opened the arcade, you thought about the baby for a second.

What are you... what is this story, I don't understand.

You went to her house to put your fist in her face.

No, no, no, no, no, slowly, we're breaking up, it's clear.

- I didn't touch her.

Ah, nothing to deny, Jacob, his neighbors saw you.

Since I'm telling you I didn't touch her.

Look, this girl's not just crazy, she's dangerous.

No, I forbid you to approach her, understand?

And on balance, don't come near me either, you stallo.

- Alison, can you hear me?

- It's okay.

How do you...

Are you okay?

Yes.

I don't know what to say, I'm really sorry.

- No, it's not your fault.

How's the baby?

He just echoed me.

It's all right.

Kate, I can't believe he could have done such a thing.

It's my fault.

I should never have told you that your husband had made me advances.

No, you have nothing to blame.

I think it's best we both avoid it until the baby is born.

I'm sure he regrets his gesture.

Don't worry about it.

I told them I fell down the stairs.

- I'm not gonna file a complaint against him.

- I have to tell you.

- He's a little guy.

He's a little boy.

You're gonna have a little boy.

But I'm going, I'm going to have to turn.

Put it all in the surveillance room, he'll get his stuff back there and I want you to block his access badge, his card from

Then you'll call the hand. What are you doing?

Mr Kelly, would you agree to read the news that I just finished?

It's a joke, I don't see why, I... what did you tell them?

What did you make up again this time, huh? You're very strong. Just out of curiosity, you asked an accomplice to put his

You managed to do this on your own.

- That's enough, go away, Mr. Kelly.

Everything she said to you is wrong.

It's a setup.

So, Sean, you don't have

Just leaving that box under my desk, 'cause I'm gonna

Yes, Valerie, I'll make myself a real one.

I'm glad to read your news. I've left you

A message about the letter of recommendation you have

- written for Kate Randall.

Here, I'd like to meet a member of his family.

Or a person he knew.

When she was only a child.

His father's name was right.

And you remember what the name of his business was?

It was a shipping company.

I was Edward Randall's secretary for ten years.

When he died, a new team took over and they rushed to fire me.

But I got back to work quickly.

And did you happen to know her daughter, Kate?

You mean Catherine? Of course. Edouard often spoke to me about her. Why?

My wife and I have been hired as a surrogate mother and since then, she's only got us in trouble.

I'd like to talk to the police about it, but I have no material proof to bring them.

I'm not surprised. Catherine was infernal.

His father was so angry with her that he had finally cut off the bridges with her.

Why?

It's obvious because of the baby.

Because she chose him to have him adopted?

Is that what she told you?

The baby died.

She put it on the account of the infant's sudden death.

But just the way Edward talked about it, I felt that he didn't believe her.

Then there was this will story.

The lawyers got involved.

She's been rolling everyone, including me.

Would you agree to tell my wife all this?

Okay, thank you.

So you believe me now?

No, she was gray and everything.

Kate inherited her father's fortune.

And this secretary didn't digest it.

What do I have to do to convince you that you have to be wary of her?

She would have killed her own baby.

Well, that doesn't make any sense.

Why would she hurt herself to get me fired?

Nothing she does makes any sense.

And there's another thing I haven't told you about yet.

Yesterday I got a phone call from a guy named Matt.

Who presented himself as R�mi's boyfriend

He told me he had information about our surrogate mother.

And we've been cut

I called him back right away, but no one picked up.

In that case, go to the police and...

And to tell them what?

I have no evidence, no witnesses, I have nothing against this girl.

Alison, look at me.

- Pli, look at me.

I'm your husband.

I'm still the same.

I'm the man you fell in love with 16 years ago.

I am the man who loves you as on the first day.

Even if you hate me and treat me like nothing at the moment.

Then why don't you believe me?

You've taken almost everything from me.

- That's right.

First my wife, then my job.

I guess then you'll call the cops and take my freedom.

But before you did it,

There's one question I'd like you to answer.

Only one question

- I want to know.

I want to know why

? I need to know why ?

Please.

? I've read walls in winter a hundred times ?

? It's changed my life ?

Your novel really changed everything for me.

And the first time I saw you on TV

? I knew you were my soul mate ?

- Alexandra?

Yes, it's my pseudonym.

- I have something to show you.

At that time, I always knew that one day you would come and stand there before me.

- I love you.

I wrote to you every other day for six years.

Even when the letters came back to me without being opened,

I continued to hope that one day you would eventually answer me.

When my father died, I knew I had to find you.

I accepted this job in Wittendale just to be with you.

I'm sorry I caused you all these problems,

But that was the only way we could finally get together.

You're free now.

Alison left you.

In any case, she will never give you a child.

If I do, you will have no more to teach.

I have cleared you of this unbearable constraint.

We could both live in one of my father's houses,

In the middle of the mountains.

She is so isolated that no one will come to disturb us.

Jacob can have the baby I'm wearing.

And then we can make one of our own.

Hello, Kate.

"I will put my point in your face,

But I'd be afraid to please you.

What really happened to R�mi?

Why did his boyfriend contact Jacob?

Maybe it wasn't an accident?

What if she fell off the roof?

I think it's time to call the police.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

If you call the police, I'll kill the baby.

- No, calm down, it's gonna be okay.

If you're trying to trap me, or if you're trying to get me arrested,

- I'm getting rid of it, it's clear.

If I have to, I'll drink rat death.

I'll have a needle cut to knit out.

- I don't have anything to lose, do you understand?

Even if I have to stay, I won't let that baby live.

Would you go to suicide to kill my child?

I have no chance of being loved by Jacob Kelly.

Life doesn't make any sense anymore.

Kate, you need treatment.

- I'm not gonna get a cure, I'm not crazy.

Tell me right now.

What happens if we tell the police?

They'll probably stop him, but they won't be able to watch her around the clock.

She could very well execute her threats, even in detention.

Are you telling us there's nothing we can do about this crazy madman?

Listen, what I'm advising you is to gather as many written traces as possible.

- Bank card statements, e-mails, that kind of thing.

We'll need it if we decide to sue her later.

I'm sorry, but I don't think you really have a choice.

Either you go to the police and assume the consequences,

Either you try to agree on an arrangement with her.

What do you think?

Maybe we should give her what she wants.

Isn't she in love with you?

Then maybe we could lend ourselves to the game, until she gives birth.

Anyway, Alison, it's 3:00 in the morning, I...

No, but let's admit you're willing to go live with her.

I could follow you quietly.

I'll go to a campsite or rent a bungalow somewhere.

When the time of delivery comes,

You and me, we'll take the baby from him and we'll put him in the shelter.

And then we'll let the police know.

- See?

You're asking me to go live with her?

Are you sure that's what you want?

I remind you that two days ago,

You were ready to ask for a divorce.

Because you thought I wanted to have sex with her.

It's not an idea that delights me,

But this time, I agree to make the sacrifice.

If it's to save our child.

I'm the one who's sacrificing me. I hate that girl.

We can't let her kill our baby.

One of us is going to have to watch it 24 hours a day.

What are you doing here?

I'm all yours.

- I don't believe it for a second.

Alyssa doesn't want to hear about me anymore. She's mad at me for letting you into our lives.

Really?

You're wearing the only viable embryo we have left.

You stole his last chance to become a mother, and I allowed you to do it.

She'll never forgive me.

You're lying.

I'm here.

Do you think you could love me after everything I've done?

- We've got plenty of time for this, Kate.

Do you want to give me your phone?

What for?

Please, my love, we only need mine.

I had a nursery and a playroom set up for the baby.

It's at the end of the hall.

The Internet connection and the telephone have been cut off,

Then you can focus on your novel.

And we won't be disturbed.

I often need the Internet for my research.

My father had a very large library.

That should be enough.

You've thought of everything, what I see.

Come on, I want to show you something.

- It's all for...

So, is this novel moving forward?

Yes.

Can I read a few pages?

Yes, if you want.

Nobody would do that.

It's too long.

Do you think the girl should survive?

I like the fact that she's dying.

Perhaps, but this passage is too violent.

I wanted him to be violent.

In fact, I think I'm making his death even more violent at the time of rewriting.

Let's move on.

Your main character is not credible.

- What?

What doesn't seem credible to you?

You...

Why don't you change his age to start?

Let's assume that she's 17, that she's in the final year of high school.

No, she's 21 years old.

- She's 17!

You're still a kid!

Good, darling.

Suppose a friend of his father, or more precisely his partner, wants to make her his mistress.

One day, her father leaves her alone with this man.

And this man forces him to sleep with him.

Then he rapes her.

He rapes her, and she gets pregnant.

She wants to have an abortion, but her father is against it.

He says that if she stops her pregnancy, he will disinherit her.

Then she's forced to carry this baby.

And these nine months are a terrible nightmare for her.

She thinks that it is necessary to hold until the birth,

Then she will be able to have it adopted and forget the whole story.

Her father wants her to keep the baby.

He demands that she go live with her partner.

Because they both made a deal.

In the eyes of her father, she is nothing but an object that he can dispose of at his own discretion.

He can trade for the majority share in a company he wants.

Then she decides to kill the baby.

- No choice.

She is obliged to do so, it is the only way if she wants to regain her freedom and a semblance of life.

When his father leans on the cradle and finds that his grandson is dead, he goes mad.

He tries to kill his daughter, but she manages to escape him.

Her father arrested her from her will, but she was malignant.

On the night of her death, she recovers the one and only copy of her last will and makes it disappear.

Then his father's lawyers were forced to refer to the previous will, in which they bequeathed all his property to him.

In the end, she wins.

You see, that's what I call a good story.

And I want you to write it to me.

My dear Alison, you can't imagine how much I miss you.

But knowing you're close to me helps me hold on.

I think of you every moment.

And I can't wait for this nightmare to end.

I love you so much that even the writer I am short of words to describe what he looks like.

I kiss you, Jacob.

Dear writer, famous and incredibly attractive, of whom I am madly in love.

Finally, we are approaching the goal.

I took a look at the calendar and normally there are only two weeks left before delivery.

On my side, I'm pretty good.

Actually, I'm worried about you.

Be careful.

I love you, Alison.

Jacob, get out of here!

What are you talking about?

From the story I told you.

About the 17-year-old high school girl, I asked you to write it down and you didn't even start.

- I'll do it, relax.

What's the problem, huh?

You don't think it's a good story?

I think it's a dramatic story.

Then why haven't you started it yet?

You still haven't started writing it.

Answer me.

Because it's not my story, it's yours.

And everything is true.

No, it's purely imaginary.

I contacted your father's secretary and she told me everything.

You killed your own baby.

- No, it's not.

You killed him.

Why did you do something like that?

Because this abject man raped me.

And that my father had prevented me from having an abortion.

You could've left the kid and gone.

There was nothing to force you to kill this child.

But you did it anyway.

Because you hated your father.

And now you feel guilty.

So you want me to write your story and make you look like a heroine?

But I refuse to do it!

Because you're not a heroine!

You're a coward and a murderer!

Jacob, please, wait!

- I need you!

I need you to write my story!

Nobody will listen to me, but they will listen to you!

Everyone listens to Jacob Kelly!

You better do what I ask you to do,

Because otherwise, you know how I will avenge myself.

What are you doing?

I'm asking you what you're doing!

- I'm getting to work.

- I'm gonna make you a little...

Where are you going?

I'll take out the trash and come back.

The bag isn't even full. It can wait until tomorrow.

It would be a shame not to take care of it.

Well, I'm coming with you. It's so beautiful today. Let me take my shoes.

No, no, no. I only have one for a second. Besides, I almost finished the first chapter.

I want you to read it when I get back.

Whatever you say.

You want to read it?

I made all the changes you suggested to me and...

I think you'll find the result very interesting.

Detach me immediately.

Why?

What's wrong with you?

So that you can write other letters of love to him.

Very expensive, Alison.

The longer our separation continues, the more I realize that I love you in madness.

And the more lamentable thing you've ever written.

If you say so...

Nothing's true.

You're still under his control.

She is the one who forces you to write all these letters to her and hide them in the little wall.

- I know that.

Wait, calm down, please.

No, you have to open your eyes. You're not in love with her.

That's mine.

You're right.

She's the problem.

You have nothing to do with it.

You stay here and relax.

When I return, the source of all our problems will be dead and buried.

- No, wait.

What are you going to do?

Kate, come back!

Kate!

- Fonds!

Otherwise, you'll kill that child.

You're going to give me my child.

You need me.

Then do as I tell you or you will not get away with it alive.

No, you have to rest.

Stay lying down.

Anyway, the sheriff's gonna be here any minute.

- Kate, where are you going?

- It's over, Kate.

- It's all over, you hear?

That's Kate Randall.

She needs help.

Miss Randall, Miss Randall, can you hear me?

Just breathe, tell me what happened.

You who tell it.
