Rose: Yes, I’m Rose.
Maya: I saw you in the ballroom. The audience was booing and you were apologising. What was happening?

Rose: Hugo – I buried him down there in concrete, in a secret room. I should have done it sooner. I let him abuse Jimmy for too long. It was my fault Jimmy turned out the way he did.
