The Maid's Room Page #3
They don't need me.
Maybe they will.
But we're willing
to take that risk.
I could take the money
and still call the police.
You could.
But you wouldn't, would you?
Think about it.
Sleep on it.
Consider this a down payment,
hm?
Tomorrow I'll get you the rest and
take you wherever you want to go.
This money could change your life.
Hey. Drina.
Dude, I need to talk to you.
I'm really in a bind right now.
I'm just trying to figure
out what I should do.
You know what you have to do.
You just don't want to do it.
Turn yourself in.
Nothing good can come of this.
Trust me.
Look, you will have a good lawyer.
You have money.
Okay, maybe you won't go
to Princeton this year,
but you will still have
your life, Brandon.
No, I... I don't see how
turning myself in helps anything.
I don't know you very well.
But I think you're very nice.
I think you're a good person.
I don't think you're the type
with something like this.
This man's life...
it will live inside of you.
And he will haunt you for
the rest of your life.
I just... I really don't
want to go to jail.
There are worse things.
Are there?
Don't move.
You ought to be
ashamed of yourself.
Pretty girl like you.
You have a future.
You know what your problem is?
You're young and you think
you know everything.
so much better than us?
You never made a
mistake in your life?
You never...
Messed up once or broke the law?
Huh?
You're not supposed to be in this country.
You're breaking the law right now.
My son is a good boy.
And you are gonna ruin
everything for him.
If you had seen him struggle
the way that I did,
you would understand.
He didn't have an easy childhood.
And you are gonna destroy him?
For what?
For someone who's already dead.
You know, he was drunk that guy.
Said so in the paper.
What did he think was gonna happen
standing in the middle of the road?
Did you know him?
Is that what this is?
Is this a little set
up to blackmail us?
Whatever it is you're trying
to do to my son,
it's not gonna work.
I won't let it happen, and
neither will my husband.
You know what you are?
You're dirt.
You're not even a person.
You make me sick.
You and your self-righteousness.
- What's going on?
- She set off the alarm.
Sh*t. What are you doing down here?
They're gonna call and make sure
that it wasn't a false alarm.
I disconnected the phone.
Where's your cellphone?
- In my bag.
- Where is it?
Right over there!
Hi, this is Oliver Crawford.
My wife, she just
set off the alarm.
No, our phone is not working.
Yes, 060787.
Okay.
No, she hit the wrong
button and panicked.
Hello? Help!
Help!
Ow!
I'm sorry.
That was my son.
He's just messing around.
Yes.
Police are already on their way.
Get in your room, Drina,
right now. Right now!
Aah!
Good.
You stay in there,
and I don't want to hear a
f***ing word out of you.
Okay.
Drina, wait. Wait. Calm down.
The gate is not gonna open.
I changed the code.
Drina, your working
yourself up for no reason!
Drina wait, please.
Drina, wait.
Please.
Just let me leave. Calm down.
I'm not going to hurt you.
I just want to talk to you, okay?
Please just let me
leave. I want to go.
I can't do that without
some assurance.
Aah!
Stop shouting!
Aaah! Help!
Please stop.
Aah!
Aah!
Aah!
He looks pretty bad.
Look, we just need to
get him on the gurney.
I-is he gonna be all right?
We've seen worse.
It was an accident.
Of course. Of course it was.
You did the right thing calling us.
You okay? Are you hurt bad?
No, I'm not. I'm fine.
- You're shaking.
- I'm just a little bit shaky.
Don't worry about it now.
We'll take good care of him.
Brandon.
Yeah, what's going on?
Need your help.
She started screaming.
I had to stop her.
She fell.
We have to call an ambulance.
Brandon, this wasn't an accident.
But she fell. Y-you
said that she fell.
I didn't know what to do. I had
to stop her from screaming.
She got herself so worked up.
There was no talking
to her. You saw her.
She was gonna call the police.
If you don't want any part of
this, I don't know what I'll do.
You can't see this spot from the
house or the road or from the water.
We can bury her here.
Tomorrow I'll have it
covered over with sod.
No, someone's gonna
come looking for her.
By the time anyone
comes looking for her,
this will look just like
the rest of the lawn.
And as far as we're concerned,
she went back to Colombia.
What can they say about that?
We don't even know
where she came from.
It's all wet here.
It'll have to do.
Sun's coming up, anyway.
Hey.
I-I... I can't.
I can't do this.
Okay.
I'll do the rest.
You go inside, clean yourself off.
Leave your shoes outside.
Sit down.
My father never told me
much worth remembering,
but there was one thing he said
that always stuck with me.
Never come clean.
They might have some
suspicions or some evidence...
But there's no reason to
help them dig your grave.
Never come clean.
Unless you spill your guts,
they don't know anything.
Confession is for church.
By the way, you better not confess
about this at church, either.
Don't think father Kovaks will listen to
this story without telling the police.
That guy.
Can't tell your friends,
your girlfriends... nobody.
If you want to talk
about it, talk with me.
You'll feel guilty.
That's fine. That's good.
I understand that.
But keep it to yourself.
I'm not saying...
That I wouldn't have done
the same thing as you,
driving away from that accident,
but what you did you
did out of fear.
And that fear has been with you your whole
life, like a disability holding you back.
If you want something good
to come out of this...
That part of you, that cowardice...
excise it from your
character right now.
Do something good with
the rest of your life.
Something I can be proud of.
Something you can be proud of.
Maybe you'll save somebody's
life one day.
Do some good in the world.
Come here.
I don't know what I'd do if
anything ever happened to you.
I'm sorry I got us into this...
Hello. Drina?
Hello. Is Drina here?
Uh, Drina no aqui.
Drina... she come back.
No, no, she left.
She's not here anymore.
She doesn't work here.
When?
Yesterday.
Uh, sh-she's not here.
She work here?
Y-yes, she did, but, uh, no more.
Uh, uh...
No mas trabaja.
What were you thinking?
That she didn't have friends?
What? That guy? What do
Call the police?
Well, what about her family?
What happens when they
come looking for her?
You think her mother can just
get on a plane from Colombia
and fly up here? Hire a lawyer?
You think if she had that kind
of money she would let her
daughter come up here
illegally to work as a maid?
All they have to do is come
in here and see the car.
Look at this.
It says they don't know anything.
How would they?
