00:00Wow, something smells incredible in here.
00:04And looks amazing, too.
00:05Yeah, well, I just wanted to make something special for you.
00:09You're the best.
00:10Let me just hit the bathroom real quick before we eat.
00:13Wash up.
00:13All right.
00:21Dylan?
00:23Yeah, thank god you picked up.
00:25No, he doesn't suspect anything.
00:27He's so wrapped in his work routine, he rarely notices anything.
00:32Did you know he spent 20 minutes this morning just
00:35explaining these fresh cheese formulas to me?
00:37Yeah, fresh cheese formulas, Dylan.
00:40God, I'm so tired just pretending everything is normal when
00:43all I want is to be with you.
00:47You know, I keep thinking about last Tuesday when we met at the park.
00:52This two hours felt more real than the entire three years
00:56with him.
00:59You know, I hate that I have to sneak around like this.
01:01I hate that I just can't be with you.
01:05Yeah, I know, but you know I can't leave yet.
01:08Not until I figure out how to do this without ending up in nothing.
01:13Oh, OK, he's coming back.
01:14I have to go.
01:14I'll call you.
01:15OK?
01:16Yeah, love you.
01:17OK, bye.
01:23Ready for dinner?
01:24Absolutely.
01:25OK.
01:28This was incredible, Jess.
01:32You really, really outdid yourself today.
01:35You won't believe what happened with the new client account today.
01:39So remember how I told you about the mess that Thompson dumped on me?
01:42Well, I think I finally figured out how to fix it.
01:44So they had their books so screwed up, Jessica.
01:47Screwed up.
01:48The numbers didn't add up.
01:50The receipts were missing.
01:51Transactions made no sense.
01:53But I stayed late every night this week.
01:56Going through everything.
01:57Line by line.
01:58Right?
01:59Mm-hmm.
02:00Yeah, that sounds complicated.
02:02Yeah, yeah, it was.
02:03It was.
02:04But that's what I love about the job.
02:05See, it's like solving a puzzle.
02:08And every piece has to fit it perfectly or the whole thing just falls apart, right?
02:12And if I clean this up, Thompson said there's a real possibility of a promotion.
02:17Can you believe that?
02:18That's only three years with the firm.
02:20Me.
02:21Promotion.
02:22Yeah, that's wonderful, honey.
02:25Jessica, this could mean a 40, 40% salary raise.
02:3140%.
02:32We could finally take the trip to Italy you've been wanting.
02:34We could renovate the kitchen.
02:35Hell, we could buy a whole bigger house if you wanted to.
02:38This could change everything for us, Jess.
02:40I know I've been working long hours, but it's all been leading to this moment.
02:44All the sacrifice, all the late nights, all the headache is finally paying off.
02:50And who could be texting you so much?
02:55Oh, it's just Claire.
02:57She's going through a tough time and she needs someone to talk to.
03:02Claire?
03:03Yeah, I don't think I heard you mention Claire before.
03:06Uh, yeah, she's a new friend from Joker class.
03:09You remember, right?
03:11She's having some personal issues and...
03:13Oh, I'm sorry.
03:14I should probably take this stuff.
03:16She sounded really upset in her texts.
03:18Of course.
03:19Claire?
03:20Claire, what's wrong?
03:21Yeah.
03:22Yeah.
03:23I'm sorry, baby.
03:24I had to make something up.
03:25Richard was getting suspicious about all the texting.
03:26You have to dial it down.
03:27It's so hard.
03:28Sitting down and pretending to care about his boring job stories.
03:30And acting excited about his stupid promotion.
03:32He spent 10 minutes explaining how he reorganized some client's filing system.
03:34I wanted to scream.
03:35I feel like I'm living a lie every single day.
03:55I wake up next to him and have to pretend that I'm happy.
04:02and have to pretend that I'm happy.
04:05I make his coffee the way he likes
04:07and listen to him talk about his day.
04:09And all I can think about is how much
04:12I want to be somewhere else with you.
04:18I, you know, I can't just leave him yet, Dylan.
04:22I have nowhere to go and no money of my own.
04:25Oh, okay, yeah, he's coming up.
04:26I need to spend time with him so he won't be suspicious.
04:30I'll call you later, okay?
04:32I love you.
04:32Yeah.
04:36Hey, man.
04:37How's Claire?
04:39Just relationship drama.
04:41You know how it is.
04:43You want to sit down?
04:45How was the food?
04:47Sure, it's fine.
04:49That was an interesting conversation, too, it's good.
04:55I like this part.
05:00Hey, isn't this nice?
05:02We should do this more often, like we used to.
05:04Just the two of us, relaxing together.
05:06No work, no distractions.
05:10Like, every weekend when we were dating,
05:13we'd rent movies and order pizza and just talk for hours.
05:16Mm-hmm, yeah.
05:18I miss that sometimes, just talking to you.
05:22Feels like we're both so busy these days, we barely get to connect anymore.
05:27Yeah, yeah.
05:28We should definitely do this more.
05:32Is that Claire again?
05:33Oh, yeah, she's having, like, a really bad time.
05:37She needs constant support through her divorce.
05:40Yeah, I feel it.
05:42Maybe I should meet her sometime.
05:44You know, if she's such a close friend to you, you guys have been talking a lot, maybe I feel like I should get to know her.
05:48Oh, I don't think that's a good idea.
05:51She's, like, very private about her situation, and she doesn't want to meet anyone new right now, so I'd like to respect her privacy.
05:59Yeah, I get that.
06:00But I mean eventually, not now, just when she's feeling better, maybe we all have dinner or something.
06:04Yeah, yeah, maybe eventually.
06:06What's her husband like?
06:08Like, what kind of problems is she having at home?
06:10Uh, he's controlling, emotionally distant, uh, she feels trapped, yeah.
06:17Uh, says he never listens to her anymore, and, and never shows any interest on her feelings or, like, her thoughts.
06:26It's crazy.
06:28That's terrible.
06:30You know, marriage shouldn't be like that.
06:32Nope, it shouldn't.
06:34You know, it's funny, though, in all of our years of marriage, I've never met Claire, and I don't think you've ever mentioned her before tonight.
06:43Well, I told you she's a newer friend from yoga class.
06:47We've only been close for a few months.
06:49Yeah, you said that.
06:50You said that.
06:51That's interesting.
06:52What do you mean, interesting?
06:54Well, you've been, you've been going to yoga for, like, two years, right?
06:58And you never mentioned making close friends at all there before.
07:02And then Claire seems like she needs your attention really specifically during evenings when we're supposed to spend our time together.
07:10Are you seriously going to be jealous of a friend who's going through a crisis?
07:14I'm, I'm not jealous.
07:16I'm making an observation.
07:18Okay, people going through crises need constant support outside of business hours, Richard.
07:25Claire needs me.
07:26And I'll be there for her regardless of how you feel about it.
07:30And you know what?
07:31Some people actually value loyalty and friendship.
07:36Some people understand that being there for someone in their darkest moment is more important than watching a movie.
07:42Yeah.
07:43Yeah.
08:12How long has this been going on?
08:35All this time I've been working my behind off.
08:49Trying to build a better life for us.
08:51And she, she's just been, all right.
08:57Let's see how this plays out there now.
09:02I can't wait to leave him.
09:06It's so boring.
09:08The money is the only thing to keep me here.
09:15Financial security, huh?
09:17That's all I am to you.
09:23Meet me here.
09:25Right now.
09:27My husband left for an emergency.
09:31We'll have a trip.
09:33I won't be back until tomorrow.
09:36Bring a line.
09:42Let me delete that actually.
09:44Perfect.
09:45Perfect.
10:00Come in.
10:01Look what I...
10:02Oh well, you must be Dylan.
10:15You know what?
10:16I think I might have the wrong house.
10:17Nah, you're definitely in the right place.
10:19You're here to see my wife since she texted you to come over, right?
10:23Dylan, what are you doing here?
10:25You texted me that your husband was out of town.
10:29I didn't send any texts.
10:31Actually, I sent any text messages.
10:34See why you were sleeping peacefully on the couch.
10:37Which is funny how that works.
10:39You know what?
10:40Please.
10:41Just, come on.
10:42Let's not let the wine go to waste.
10:43Uh, Richard, please.
10:45I can explain.
10:46I read months of texts, okay, between you and Dylan, including your admission that you're
10:51only staying married for the financial security.
10:53Look, bro, I didn't want things to happen this way, you know?
10:56I was gonna...
10:57Oh, you've been sneaking around letting me pay for Jessica's lifestyle while you enjoy
11:01the benefits, right?
11:02Planning her exit strategy to take half of everything I worked for while running off her
11:06little boyfriend.
11:07I love you, Dylan.
11:09As soon as I figure out how to make things work financially, I'll leave him.
11:13Those are your words, Jessica.
11:15Richard, you don't understand.
11:16I remember one more.
11:17It was, uh, how to go...
11:19I hate that I have to sneak around like this.
11:22I hate that I can't just be with you openly, Dylan.
11:26Well, now you can be with him openly.
11:29Both of you.
11:31Get out of my house.
11:32Now.
11:33What?
11:34Where am I supposed to go?
11:36This is my home, too.
11:37You forfeited that right when you decided to betray our marriage.
11:40When you decided I was a paycheck keeping you comfortable while you planned your escape.
11:44Let's go.
