The Maid's Room Page #4

Synopsis: Set entirely on the posh east end of Long Island (where it was filmed), THE MAID'S ROOM centers around Drina, an attractive, intelligent immigrant who takes a job for the season as live-in maid to the Crawfords, a privileged New York family who maintain a splendid home in the Hamptons. The job could be worse, since Mr. and Mrs. Crawford spend most of their time in the city, but their teenage son, Brandon, who is starting Princeton in the fall, is summering at the beach, and Drina must look after him and his spoiled friends. Since the maid's room is next to the garage, Drina can't help noticing when Brandon returns late one night, noisily and obviously drunk. The next day, she sees that Brandon's car is battered and bloodied and, when she reads in the local paper that there has been a fatal hit and run, it's clear who's responsible. Knowing the Crawford's will do anything to protect their precious son, Drina realizes that, for once, she has some power over her employers. Though the situ

from the headlight,

tire track... that's how they

figure out whose car it was.

And luckily Brandon's car

is registered in the city.

They might not trace it out here.

And what if they do?

You know that storage

space we have?

I'm gonna rent another

one that will fit a car,

and tomorrow night you and I

are gonna drive out there.

I think I should

just turn myself in.

What?

After what I've gone through?

With what you did?

You're gonna call the

police yourself?

What, are you f***ing kidding me?

Drina... she... she

didn't do anything.

She tried to blackmail us.

No, she wouldn't do that.

She took the money

your father gave her.

Actually, she asked for more.

Got the keys?

Yeah.

Turn it off!

The... the window in Drina's

room was open.

They could have come

in through there.

They could have heard us talking.

Give me the keys.

F***!

The soil must have sank.

Oliver!

- Hi.

- Oliver Crawford.

- Hi.

- How are you doing?

Hi, my name's Niles Barrett.

Thanks for coming out.

These gentlemen asked me to

help them out. May we come in?

Sure. No problem. Hold on.

What church are you from, Niles?

Actually, we're in Riverhead.

Not too close.

We're a catholic church.

You must know father Kovaks.

He's our local minister.

Yes, we've met. I don't know

him well. You're catholic?

Yes. What's happening?

Uh, our parish does a lot of work

with the immigrant community.

They don't have too many people

they can turn to that they trust.

Mm-hmm.

There's no one to represent them,

so we try to help out when we can.

Juan and Carlos asked me...

- Juan.

- ...to help them out.

They're concerned about a woman friend

of theirs who came to work for you.

Right. Drina.

My son... he already told them.

She left.

Yes, they said.

Maybe they could ask you

some questions through me.

I can translate. It

might clear things up.

Sure. No problem.

Okay. Tambien.

"So what happened?"

I don't really know.

Like I said, she left in the

middle of the night or

early in the morning.

I'm not sure.

Where?

Uh, do you have any idea why?

I wasn't really gonna say

anything, but I had an envelope

with some money in it, which

was in a drawer in my office.

It was not a huge amount to me,

but the envelope was

gone after she left.

You think she just walked

to town from here?

Like I said, I don't know.

She left in the

middle of the night.

She may have hired

a taxi. I don't know.

Very intelligent woman.

She speaks very good English.

You have no idea where she went?

No. Honestly.

Okay, okay.

Juan would like to know how much

she stole so that he can repay you.

No, no, no.

- It's really... it's not necessary.

- No, no, no, no. How much?

- It's really...

- No, really. How much?

- No, no, how much?

- Really. It's more than that.

- Mentiroso!

- What's that?

He says, "you're a liar."

You know, you come here...

this is my house.

This is what happens,

father. I'm sorry.

You can ask father kovaks how

generous and trustworthy I am.

I know. You're trying to be of

some help, but, really, come on.

I tried.

What?

The water's coming in again.

It'll be the same wherever we dig.

This is deeper than

we had it before.

And it's farther

away from the water.

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna go talk to them.

What do you want?

Qu?

Qu pasa?

"Qu pasa?"

No. No comprende.

He say, "f*** you!"

Tell him f*** him, too!

You get the f*** out of here now.

Or what?

You call the police?

No, maybe you don't

want to call the police.

- Get the f*** out of here!

- Or what?

Now! Leave!

What you gonna do with that,

huh? What you gonna do?

Huh? What you looking at, f*ggot?

You gonna kick our ass?

Hold this. Hold it!

Wait. Hey, dad, what are you doing?

Eh?

Aah!

Get in that f***ing car right now

and you get the f*** out of here!

F*** you!

Drina!

Drina!

Drina!

You see that guy?

I haven't had a fight in 30 years.

And that guy... he works

outside every day.

Manual laborer.

He's a strong guy.

He should have kicked my ass.

Know why he didn't?

No.

'Cause fighting is

as much about power

as it is about strength.

Education, attitude, wealth...

those are all very powerful things.

It's not about the fight.

It's about what you

bring to the fight.

Hey, you hurt that guy.

He was on the ground. Did you even see

his face when he got into that car?

He was gonna do the same

thing to me, Brandon.

There were three of them.

What do you think

they were gonna do?

What if they come back?

We'll have to call the police.

Where did you get that?

Why do they keep coming back?

They don't know what else to do.

Brandon, turn all these lights off.

If you see anything, call me.

I saw him in the back.

He's got a gun.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah, I think so.

Drina?

Brandon!

Brandon!

Brandon!

Brandon!

Oh, God.

Mom, I'm scared.
