The story so far
Everything you need before watchingAfter slipping away from the family gathering, Margaret takes the boat out and falls into the water. Andrew pulls her to safety, but the emotional escape is interrupted by his father and Mr. Gilbertson. They offer a brutal choice: admit the marriage is a sham or face prison. Andrew rejects the deal and improvises a heartfelt statement, turning a legal trap into a public promise.
