How did he die?
I stabbed him to death.
We have arranged for the body to buried as a 'John Doe'.
Of course, you will not be benefiting from Adam's will.
In return,
I don't expose you as a murderer.
I don't know you so well,
but I know my sister, you would be a disaster.
You're too old. She's too young.
Nico Eltham spiked my drink.
I got you a little something.
Don't open it till I'm gone.
Monsieur Clios has gone.
- What you mean gone? - He has escaped.
So, I told Georgie what you said last night.
That you think Adam's dead.
Adam's missing, you got what you wanted.
Of course not, he's my son,
don't you think I wish he was here?
What about you? What are you doing to ease your guilt?
You're trying to mess with me.
I don't give a damn what you think.
Don't forget that you and I share a secret now.
Don't invite her here anymore.
Come on Marge, talk to me what's going on?
Jeff, I really need some time to myself,
I have a million things to do.
Yeah, well too bad.
So...
You are I aren't leaving til you tell me
what's going on between you and Irina.
Did I ever tell you about when I was in Manila?
Kind of hiding from well, myself I guess.
Jeff...
It's ninety-five degrees and I'm watching these
two street cats with claws like
steak knives just circle each other
in this little courtyard below.
Searching for that moment to
strike and cut each other's throat.
And, just occasionally, I'm reminded of
that when I see you and Irina together.
I mean most of the time you're cosy as hell...
Like your both members of some ex-wives
and widows club... but...
Sometimes, you and il Countessa,
you share a look.
And I got two theories on what it's about...
And the first is:
that you got something on her.
Something bad. I think we both know that
Irene's the type of woman who's got more than
a couple of speeding tickets in her past.
You could tell me she'd done just
about anything, I'd give it credence.
But then I think about those cats.
You and her.
And what I see is
that you're more afraid of her than she is of you.
I denied you Adam,
as Peter denied his Saviour.
I abandoned you in death.
Consigned your body to an unmarked grave.
Adam.
Please forgive me.
And that leads me to my second theory.
She's got something on you.
After Constantine's death,
when that whole thing came out of nowhere,
the explosion, the body, the
investigations, the accusations.
Everything just spinning and swirling around me.
I felt like I had no
solid ground to stand on.
Whenever I thought there was someone or something
I could depend on... it just
gave way underneath me.
And then there was Adam.
Together,
we uncovered some secrets
about his father.
And we kept them from the rest of the family.
And then I found out
how much he lied to me.
And I found out
what his real feelings were towards me.
What he thought was going on between the two of us.
He forced himself on me.
Just please don't walk away from me, ok?
You're the only real family I have.
Why would I do that? I'm your guardian angel, aren't I?
Is that why he went into hiding, Adam?
Because he thought you'd tell the cops?
And is that why Irina is on your case?
I believed what he told me.
He convinced me that Constantine had cheated on me
since the day that we met...
And that wasn't true.
I was the woman that Constantine loved
until the day that he died.
And then there was the anger,
anger so full
and so deep that I thought I could never get rid of it.
Ok, well, here's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna track him down.
Then we're gonna drag him in front of a judge. Ok?
I mean...
I don't care what you've heard about conviction rates for rape,
- I know this attorney... - Jeff.
No, this guy back in the States
and he will screw him up against the wall,
he will wish that he never
raised a finger against you.
I mean, look I know that the system here is weird as shit
- but justice is justice. - Jeff.
- Please? - We'll put this fucker away and...
Adam is dead.
I killed him.
Look, it was self-defence.
There's no reason that you need
to keep suffering like this and keep it to yourself.
- We'll go to the cops and... - I can't do that.
It's alright, there was a struggle
ok and you did what you had to do.
You, you, what, you hit him with something?
No. Listen to me.
It didn't happen right there and right then.
It's still a defence.
If it was an hour later, or two hours.
- Irina would understand. - Stop!
I lured him to Constantine's boat,
we set sail for the middle of the ocean.
I kissed him
and I tricked him into telling me the truth.
Then I took a knife
and I killed him.
I dumped his body overboard.
I did it for Constantine.
For what Adam did to my husband.
I did it to get rid of the pain and the anger buried inside.
You understand that, don't you?
Adam betrayed the family, he lied to all of us.
So easily. I had to do something.
- You're not listening to me! - Yeah, I am listening.
And what I'm hearing is:
'I killed my husband's son in cold-blooded revenge,
and I want you to tell me that's ok.'
But I'm not gonna do that, sweetheart.
I didn't have a choice.
Yeah, you did.
Kill him or not kill him.
And you made your choice.
And now you gotta own it.
Don't ask me to make it better.
Dr. Renaud says that she'll ring us later this morning.
And er then
we'll need to leave right away.
I erm,
I wanna see Georgina.
But you did see her.
She's with someone else.
I know.
I need her to know that I'm alive.
I need it.
Just when we've worked out our future together?
I mean why, why ruin that?
After all we've been through together? What's the matter?
What, what is it? Sit, sit down, sit!
Just...
It's coming, it's coming.
Here we go.
In a matter of hours,
you'll be in the best possible hands.
We have to get away.

I know that what I did was
a terrible thing.
Thirty-one states'd execute you for it.
I took charge of the situation and
I stopped it from getting worse.
You didn't step on a bug,
snuff out a candle.
You took another person's life.
You ended him.
Ended all his possibilities.
You wanted to play God and didn't go
the way you wanted and now you,
what you want my sympathy?
Just try to understand.
From my position,
especially given everything that you know about me.
No, no, no, no, you don't get to play that card, not with me.
No, no, 'I er,
I got this way because my Daddy was a murderer too'?
I don't care despite all the shit
that your father pulled back
when you were a kid it does not
let you off the hook for murder.
I'm sorry what happened back then, I really am.
And I'm sorry for happened with Adam.
