- Lucas, maybe Samantha would like to join us?

- No, no, no, she's got a lot of work to do.

- Would you?

- Come on, I'm hungry.

- Okay, that's fine, next time. How about we shake on it?

Benny, let's go.

Come on, Uncle Benny. Let's go.

I never lost faith that someday you would come looking for me.

And you did.

What happened to the mama?

You don't remember anything?

Only her beautiful soft skin, her hugs.

And being here again,

I could smell her scent sometimes.

That's it.

How did she die?

The doctor said the mother had stomach cramps

and high fever.

It... It was like a miscarriage.

- Mom was pregnant?

- Yes, baby, she was.

- Oh, how far along was she?

- I don't know.

How would you not know?

I was different then, Sammy.

Listen, you can ask me anything

you want about your mama...

but please, please don't talk to anyone out there

about this. Okay?

There were some kind of bad complications

with the pregnancy.

I was too drunk to help.

You're destroying this family!

You're destroying this family!

Was it Dr. Kaplan who told you

about mama's complications and miscarriage?

I don't feel well, Sammy.

I have to go to bed.

Bet you will.

Erm... Mr Drake isn't in today.

No... I'm... I'm actually here to see you.

- Me?

- Yeah, you wanna grab an early dinner?

I mean... it's literally right down the street.

- I'm sorry, what's your name again?

- Liam Dawson.

Well, then...

Hey, Mr. Dawson, let me get my coat.

My uncle's got great Italian food

for an Irishmen.

So, Samantha, tell me...

I mean why you're working in such

a depressing place.

- I'm on a mission.

- A mission?

My mother was Jennifer Winston.

She died here 14 years ago.

- I'm here to find out how.

- It's pretty profound.

- Turn anything up yet, I mean any leads?

- No, nothing really.

- Did you ever meet my mother?

- No, I... er... I didn't live here back then.

- I think everyone has their own story of events.

- No, no, I was out west.

Salute. To your mission.

I tell you what, if you need help

with anything... I mean anything, you just let me know.

- I mean, I know people.

- You know people?

- What do you mean? What do you do exactly?

- What I need done.

I'm kidding, I'm a lawyer. I do

paperwork. I answer phone calls.

Well, I might need your help in the future,

but it'll have to be a secret.

Really, let me know. Anything I can do, I'll help.

- Why would you wanna help me?

- Because I like you, Samantha Winston.

Sammy, are you home?

I'll be right down.

- How was church tonight?

- Oh, it was good, it was very good.

I wish you would come with me some time.

- Might make you feel better.

- I felt fine.

- Sure.
