Ray Reardon, a recently divorced architect, feels lonely and disillusioned with love. One day, he meets the mysterious and beautiful Lena Mathers. She seems perfect—intelligent, charming, and devoted. Quickly, they fall into a passionate romance and marry.
At first, Ray feels like he’s finally found happiness. But soon, strange inconsistencies in Lena’s past begin to surface. Her stories about her childhood don’t match up, old acquaintances don’t recognize her, and her behavior grows more manipulative. Ray starts questioning whether Lena is who she claims to be.
As his suspicions deepen, Ray realizes that Lena has carefully constructed a false identity, hiding secrets that could destroy him. What began as a dream turns into a chilling nightmare, where love, lies, and obsession blur the line between reality and deception.

00:00Hey, Ray. How's the wife?
00:19Well, I...
00:20How's the family?
00:30The first case I see here is, uh, Reardon versus Reardon.
00:41Will counsel please stand?
00:44For the petitioner, Your Honor.
00:46And for the respondent?
00:49Mr. Reardon, I ask you again, where is your counsel?
00:53I fired him. I no longer contest any aspect of this divorce.
00:57Mr. Reardon, this court was prepared to render a judgment
01:02quite favorable to your interests, but...
01:04There's a mistake here, Hunter. She can have whatever she wants.
01:07We were impossible. We were like oil and water.
01:11I still love you.
01:12Me too. That's what made it so hard to leave.
01:16Until you hit me.
01:17I slapped you. I pushed your face.
01:19With your hand.
01:20Well, betrayal is not my best thing.
01:22Yeah, well, I know.
01:24I'm not the only guy who gets upset, he finds his wife sleep.
01:27He's strong enough to break away without it.
01:34He's a jerk.
01:36Of course he was a jerk.
01:38It's not easy to find someone like you.
01:42Try harder.
01:47Oh, God, I'm already jealous.
01:49I know you're going to find the right person, and when you do...
01:55She's going to be the luckiest woman alive.
01:58To a free man.
02:11Ah, there we go.
02:12A treat on the market.
02:14You never sleep alone.
02:15I'll hear you.
02:17I told you not to marry her.
02:18You two had absolutely nothing in common.
02:20Forget in common, okay?
02:22She wasn't his type.
02:23Ray always went for brunettes.
02:25You're telling me.
02:26You're Larry's wife.
02:28Picky, picky.
02:28Plus, you're a lawyer.
02:30That's right.
02:30Ray likes artsy types.
02:31He likes them thin and dark and artistic.
02:34Right.
02:34So, are we talking sex here or marriage or...
02:37What about love?
02:39Love?
02:39But in the long term, you're interested in a family, right?
02:42I want everything.
02:43The kids, the dog, the Volvo.
02:47Whoa, whoa, whoa.
02:48Slow down on the family sport.
02:49I mean, first you get laid.
02:50Then, you get laid.
02:52Exactly.
02:53There are many, many women out there.
02:56Ah.
02:57Lots of skinny women, you know.
02:59Anorexics.
03:00Yes.
03:00Dark, angelic anorexics.
03:03They're 33 years old.
03:04The biological clocks are tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock.
03:07Come now.
03:09I'm ovulating.
03:12I'm fertile today.
03:14Just today.
03:16That is not time, man.
03:17It kills me to say it, but I'm going to agree with Norman on this.
03:22You are attractive.
03:23You are straight.
03:24You are not overtly psychotic.
03:27Oh, thank you.
03:29Listen, you just take your time, and don't you be a slave to your glandular reactions.
03:34By the way, have I ever mentioned that my family crest is actually a big gland?
03:39I rest my case.
03:44I am down on my knees.
03:51I am begging you.
03:53All right.
03:54This is humiliating.
03:55Are you deaf?
03:57Huh?
03:57I'm guaranteeing you 100% return in six months.
04:02You're my friend, Norman.
04:04Sure.
04:04That's why I'm bringing you the deal.
04:06You see, I'm going to loan money once, I'll do it again, and sooner or later, I'm going
04:10to lose a friend.
04:10Great.
04:11Swell.
04:11So, I'm floating face down.
04:16All right, look.
04:18You know, I wanted to emphasize the positive here.
04:20The money's not just...
04:22It'd keep me alive another 72 hours, okay?
04:26Would your friendship allow you to do that?
04:28I love this.
04:30How much?
04:31For the investment?
04:32To save your life.
04:35Well, say, 20 grand.
04:40I'll give you half.
04:41You'll save half my life?
04:42See, this isn't good.
04:43Between friends, just forget the whole thing.
04:45No, no, I need the bucks.
04:46It's just that I know you can afford more, and I'm wondering...
04:50This isn't my job to rescue you from yourself, all right?
04:56You're going to regret this.
04:59What?
05:00A year or two, fortunes could change.
05:01You could come to me wanting something.
05:06See?
05:07Now, see what happened here?
05:08It's the same with girls.
05:11A little friendly advice.
05:11Remember the girls I set you up with?
05:12Norman, those women were...
05:13I'll do better, okay?
05:14The point is, they told me.
05:15What you give off...
05:17You know, you're lonely.
05:18It's understandable, but it comes off needy.
05:21Just like I was here, and it's bad technique.
05:24They said I was needy?
05:26Desperate.
05:27So, look.
05:28They're throwing me a party next week, okay?
05:3034 years old and still an asshole.
05:32They said I was needy.
05:33Forget that.
05:34I'm trying to tell you something.
05:35I invited a girl there, brunette, Midwest, so forth.
05:37Perfect for you.
05:38No, please.
05:39Tits?
05:40Did someone say tits?
05:42Like pears.
05:44Huh?
05:44And not the hard green ones, either.
05:46The juicy camise you get in the box from Oregon.
05:48Harry and David.
05:49Norman, I'm coming to your party as your friend, all right?
05:52But please, promise me, you won't introduce me to any more women.
05:57Exactly my point, if you let me finish.
05:59Believe me.
05:59I can find her myself.
06:01Who says no?
06:02Hey, a safe doesn't have to fall on me.
06:04Huh.
06:06We still friends?
06:07Can I go back to work now?
06:13And thanks for the 20 Gs.
06:15Uh, uh, uh.
06:15Ten!
06:16Ten!
06:20After completing the novel, I went back to my work on the particle accelerator.
06:24What is that, Lycra?
06:25Norman is the only person I know who can turn his birthday into a scam when he dies.
06:30He's not paying for food, drinks.
06:32He's providing the idiots, you know, who might buy the work of this artist.
06:38Is that the artist?
06:38The cowboy?
06:39Of course that's him.
06:43Guns and buns.
06:45It's not that bad.
06:46I guarantee you, if there are any sales tonight, you know, Norman's friends, I bet he's gonna
06:50get a piece on it.
06:51Speaking of which, did he come to you about this crazy...
06:54Oh, the jackpot idea, 100 grand?
06:56Yeah.
06:57He got the money.
06:58What?
06:58Well, he must have, because, well, one day he was honking me, and I mean, I'm a harder
07:02sell than you are, right?
07:03I got two kids, private school, but I ain't starting our own law firm.
07:06I wouldn't joke.
07:07The guy says...
07:07Again?
07:09Hey, where you going?
07:14Are you ready?
07:17Hey.
07:18Did you...
07:18I...
07:19I'm Cheryl.
07:21Norman's friend.
07:23Right.
07:24That's right.
07:25That's right.
07:25Uh, good to see you.
07:26I'm...
07:27Norman told me.
07:28I know, I know.
07:29According to me, I'm more practically engaged.
07:32Well...
07:33Yeah.
07:35I just love a sense of humor in a man.
07:43You know, I think laughter is the greatest aphrodisiac.
07:48Don't you agree?
07:50In the right circumstances.
07:52You know, it's strange.
07:54I feel something.
07:58Do you feel something?
08:00I usually feel something.
08:01No, not like that.
08:03I mean...
08:05You know, when two people fix you up, you two be perfect for each other.
08:08Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
08:10I mean, usually it's just awful, right?
08:14Right.
08:15But just, somehow, just this moment we're having right now.
08:19This moment.
08:21Yeah.
08:24Look, I don't want to be forward, but would you, you know, like to go someplace else?
08:31Yes, actually, I, um...
08:37Would you excuse me for a moment?
08:40I don't want to be rude, but, uh...
08:44There's something that I must tell Norman.
08:50So, if you...
08:51All right?
08:52I'm...
08:52Will you look where you're going?
08:54Oh, Jesus Christ.
08:55This is mine.
08:55You've ruined...
08:56Put your hands off me.
08:57It's bad enough you ruined my dress.
08:59I was just turning away from...
09:01You don't like me.
09:02No, no, no, no.
09:03What did he do to you?
09:05He is just unbelievably rude.
09:09Oh, you're not kidding.
09:11I was trying to say it was an accident.
09:14I was turning...
09:15Oh, save it.
09:15Why don't you apologize first and foremost to your girlfriend and leave me alone?
09:20She's...
09:21Look, please.
09:25I'm sure you're a wonderful person.
09:27I...
09:29Hey, sport.
09:38How do you like my pot?
09:40If you ever set me up with another woman, I'm gonna kill you.
09:42Understand?
09:43Sure, sure.
09:44Why don't you say something before?
09:48Happy birthday.
09:50Oh, God.
10:09I'm embarrassed.
10:10Last week, wine, bitch of the Western world.
10:17Oh, right.
10:20I'm sorry.
10:20I have to apologize.
10:22No, no, no, no, no.
10:23No, I'm the one who...
10:24I spilled...
10:25No, I'm a klutz.
10:26Things like that are always happening to me, and it embarrasses me, and I took it out on you.
10:32Plus, I just bought that dress.
10:33I was trying to impress this guy.
10:34Did it work?
10:39Yeah, he was impressed with what a bitch I am.
10:45Um, I'm really sorry.
10:48I ruined your evening, and if you want me to...
10:49No, you did me a favor.
10:50I might have gone for that guy, and I don't need that right now.
10:55Besides, you changed my life.
10:58I switched from French wine to French water.
11:00So, anyway, sorry, thanks, and bye.
11:17I'm Ray.
11:21Lena.
11:24Hi, Lena.
11:30Check on location.
11:50Register 7, please.
11:56Okay.
11:56I know, I know.
12:00It's junk.
12:01I'm poisoning my body.
12:03Oh, but I got the water.
12:05Anyway, I believe in body wisdom.
12:07If your body craves something, that's what it needs.
12:10So, what have you got here?
12:12Low-me-guy specials?
12:14No.
12:15They have a very good selection here.
12:17I think the manager's a bachelor.
12:20You don't have a girlfriend?
12:22Um, the girl at the art gallery, the one you need to cry?
12:25Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
12:28She, uh, no, she was, she was trying to rape me.
12:32What's this one special?
12:34I, I don't know.
12:35How did she come to that party?
12:37Are you a friend of Norman's, or?
12:38Oh, a girlfriend of mine was the artist.
12:40Mom, Bill Hicka?
12:42Yeah, he was, kind of.
12:45Do you want me to get a cup of coffee?
12:4723-17.
12:48Or a glass of French water?
12:52Actually, I haven't eaten yet, so.
12:53Me either.
12:54So, I'm VP sales.
13:03I'm moving up.
13:05Then the CEO decides he likes me.
13:09I say no, but he's used to getting what he wants.
13:14I have to threaten to call his wife.
13:18So, of course, he fires me.
13:20He spreads the word to small community.
13:25Couldn't get hired anywhere in New York.
13:29You should have gone to court and filed some...
13:31Sure.
13:32If, as he put it, I wanted to hear every guy in the company testify that they'd had me.
13:37I moved out here instead.
13:46What a terrible...
13:47What a terrible...
13:48I've never done this before.
14:04Had supper.
14:06Pick somebody up at a supermarket.
14:08You didn't pick me up.
14:10We bumped into each other.
14:12Still, you know what I mean?
14:13You know, usually you meet somebody...
14:15You work together, or a friend introduces.
14:19It's not just a complete...
14:22Stranger.
14:26Getting to know someone is like peeling an onion.
14:29It makes you cry?
14:30No.
14:33Layers and more layers.
14:41Well...
14:43I think we should go.
14:51Arigato.
14:52I do business in Japan.
14:54Where'd you learn to speak?
15:04I studied it at Swarthmore.
15:07I've forgotten most of it, but...
15:09I love the concept of Japanese.
15:12Symbols, not letters.
15:14This is it.
15:17Where I live.
15:18Where I live.
15:24This was great.
15:27Yeah.
15:28Thanks for dinner.
15:34Uh...
15:34You think I could come up?
15:38I mean, just for five minutes?
15:42It wouldn't take five minutes.
15:52Look, the law doesn't matter.
15:53This is politics.
15:54Now, if we take him to court, we'll win.
15:56But because he has a vote on the Planning Commission,
15:58right now, he's a better architect than you.
16:00That's the law.
16:02Excuse me, sir?
16:03Not now, Sally.
16:04Norman's online, too?
16:07Uh, sorry.
16:10Well?
16:11It's Wednesday.
16:12I got my Wednesday afternoon golf game,
16:14and I'm out here with a mobile phone
16:15trying to track down some chick.
16:16Nobody knows her.
16:17Okay?
16:17Nobody.
16:18Forget her.
16:19Okay.
16:20Thanks for trying.
16:41Good night.
16:46It's true.
16:47It's true.
16:47It's true.
16:47It's true.
16:48It's true.
16:48It's true.
16:48it's true.
16:49Get it off.
16:51That's how you do it.
16:56See you soon, sweetie.
17:01It's true.
17:32Yeah, what do you want?
17:43Sorry, I'm sorry.
17:50Hello?
17:51Hi.
17:53Lena, hi.
17:55Hello?
17:56Yeah?
17:57Hi, this is Ray.
17:58Reardon, from last night.
18:02I remember.
18:04I, um, I don't have your phone number, or I don't know your last name, so there was no
18:10way for me to get in touch.
18:13Uh-huh.
18:14Do you want to go out, come out, now or later, or, um, meet someplace or something?
18:26Or do you, uh, do you have a phone number?
18:29Hello?
18:30Come on in.
18:42Come on in.
18:42I'll be right out.
19:04I was just taking a shower.
19:12I have these same columns in my office.
19:27I hope I'm not intruding.
19:30I don't mind.
19:32I was waiting outside when I saw you come in.
19:38Why didn't you say hello?
19:39Well...
19:43Strange, don't you think?
19:45Watching me and not saying anything?
19:47I know. I just...
19:49You know, you were with that guy.
19:52So...
19:53Tony.
19:55Yeah. And you kissed him downstairs, and I just...
19:59And you thought?
20:00Well, uh, maybe that you've lived with him, and, uh, he went to buy eggs, or...
20:10Tony's a friend.
20:14Oh.
20:17He's gay.
20:19Oh.
20:22Not that it's your business.
20:23No.
20:24No.
20:29Well...
20:30Something's changed from last night.
20:43Yes, it has.
20:47Why?
20:49It's a problem.
20:50I like you.
21:00That's the problem.
21:04I really like you.
21:16That's not a problem.
21:20That's a problem.
21:21I can't...
21:25...
21:30I can't do that.
21:30But I love you.
21:33I'm sick.
21:34I'm sick.
21:34I'm sick.
21:37I'm sick.
21:37I'm sick.
21:38I'm sick.
21:39I'm sick.
21:39I'm sick.
21:40I'm sick.
21:41I'm sick.
21:43I'm sick.
21:45I'm sick.
21:47I don't want to get it.
21:48Let's go.
22:18I haven't seen him.
22:40I haven't talked to him.
22:44There.
22:48Are you sure you want to hear this?
22:50Yes.
22:57My mother used to hit me a lot.
23:03Big things, little things.
23:05No reason at all.
23:13Nothing put her in a good book.
23:15My father watched.
23:28I realized he never wanted me.
23:32Left as soon as I could.
23:37Never even sent him a postcard.
23:39So beautiful.
23:53Don't say that.
23:56What?
23:58Just don't.
23:59Look, just because I'm halfway pretty, guys look at my eyes and think they know me.
24:16Like I'm their fantasy.
24:17I'm just a regular screwed up person.
24:26So when you say I'm beautiful, it's like you're not seeing me at all.
24:30Yes, I am.
24:32No.
24:32Only God, my dear, can love you for yourself alone and not your yellow hair.
24:45Gates.
24:46No boundaries.
25:00Very dangerous.
25:02I thought that's the way it was supposed to be in the storybooks.
25:05Storybooks are stories in books.
25:07This is real life.
25:08K-Y-L-C at 7.55 on a beautiful Monday morning.
25:20I've got to go to work.
25:27Oh, no you don't.
25:31You're the boss, right?
25:33Call and well, take a day off.
25:35That simple.
25:38I thought we might take a shower.
25:46Yeah?
25:47A nice long one.
25:50Yeah.
25:52We can make love for an hour or so.
25:56So we can just keep on doing this.
26:04For how long?
26:08Yeah.
26:12Yeah.
26:17perfect.
26:21Oh.
26:24Hey.
26:25Hey.
26:28Hey.
26:30Hey.
26:30Hey.
26:30Hey.
26:32Hey.
26:33Hey.
26:34Hey.
26:35Hey O'verring.
26:36Hey.
26:37Hey.
26:37I'm so happy for him.
27:07I mean it.
27:20Hey, buddy, I have to tell you, that is a beautiful piece of ass.
