Luckily for them they find a motel and settle down to watch some TV. Concern rises when they realise the 'snuff' movies the motel thoughtfully supply for their guests seem vaguely familiar.

Comedy drama written and directed by Helen Hunt. Jackie (Hunt)'s whole life revolves around her son Angelo (Brenton Thwaites), so when she discovers he has dropped out of college and moved in with his father in order to pursue his dream of surfing, she travels from New York to California to try to convince him to rethink his choices. After a heated exchange between mother and son, Jackie decides that the only way to understand Angelo's reasons for picking surfing over college is to take up the sport herself. Stubborn by nature, Jackie is determined to master the craft by herself, blankly refusing help offered from passers-by, until, that is, she is rescued by handsome surfer Ian (Luke Wilson) who takes it upon himself to give her a few lessons, in life as well as surfing.
Early modern Britain witnessed a transformation in legal reasoning
about human volition and intentional action, which contributed to
new conventions and techniques for the theatrical representation of
premeditated conduct. "Theaters of Intention" examines the relation
between law and theater in this period, reading plays by
Shakespeare, Jonson, Marlowe, and others to demonstrate how legal
understanding of willful human action pervades sixteenth- and
seventeenth-century English drama.
