00:00:00Satsang with Mooji
00:01:00Baby, it's okay, you're dreaming.
00:01:30Come on, sweetheart, we've got to go.
00:01:53I'm going to miss my flight.
00:01:54Okay, you seem tense, you didn't have that dream again, did you?
00:01:57No.
00:02:00I'm just anxious about the meeting.
00:02:04I've got to make this guy talk, or else my story sucks, Griff will never buy it, and
00:02:08there goes my internship.
00:02:09Just be firm, don't let him intimidate you.
00:02:11It's easier said than done, the guy's tough.
00:02:13You know intimidation is not exactly my strong suit.
00:02:16Hey, you're smart, kiddo.
00:02:18I know you can do it.
00:02:19Come on.
00:02:23All right, remember, nerves are stealing.
00:02:37I'll try.
00:02:38Don't try, just do it.
00:02:43Be a good girl, honey.
00:02:44I'm going, I'm going.
00:03:08We're proceeding to taxi onto the runway, and this time we ask you to fasten your seat
00:03:24with the next pair to take off.
00:03:38Hi.
00:03:39Hello.
00:03:39How are you?
00:03:40I'm fine.
00:03:42Looks like it's going to be a short flight.
00:03:45Not short enough, as far as I'm concerned.
00:03:47They never give us enough leg space.
00:03:50You're right about that.
00:03:52So what brings you to San Francisco?
00:03:53A story on a city bigwig who's been implicated in a huge sex scandal.
00:03:57How exciting.
00:03:59Who do you write for?
00:04:00We're a magazine.
00:04:01Great articles.
00:04:02You live in L.A.?
00:04:03Yeah.
00:04:04Do you?
00:04:05I now spend most of my time up north.
00:04:07We have a home in Napa Valley.
00:04:09I love the weather.
00:04:11I have space to think, ride my horses.
00:04:15It's so hard to focus in L.A.
00:04:17My husband, though, he prefers the house and by the beach.
00:04:21God, it must be beautiful, though, right now.
00:04:23Storybook green, right?
00:04:26I went to Catholic boarding school up there.
00:04:28Nothing but green pastures and cows.
00:04:31Oh, we replaced the milk with the wine, darling, a long time ago.
00:04:35How funny.
00:04:36I went to Catholic boarding school myself.
00:04:38You didn't.
00:04:39You know, my husband always teases me.
00:04:43He says that that's why I'm so screwed up.
00:04:46Four years without boys.
00:04:47My husband would agree.
00:04:49And you know what?
00:04:51They're probably right.
00:04:52Your electronic parking card shows you didn't check out of the garage until midnight that night.
00:05:04Sometimes I work late.
00:05:06Well, can you tell me why Beverly was at your office the night of the rape?
00:05:08She wasn't at my office.
00:05:11I saw her waiting at the bus stop, out of my window.
00:05:13That was never in the police report.
00:05:15There was never a bus scheduled for that line that night.
00:05:18How could you have been waiting for a bus that was never scheduled?
00:05:21I'm going to try to say this in a nice way.
00:05:24About something that could get extremely ugly.
00:05:27It would be very wise of you not to proceed with your inquiries.
00:05:33Good.
00:05:34And we agree.
00:05:35There is no storm.
00:05:37You'll excuse me, Miss Barton.
00:05:47Taxi?
00:06:04I have a reservation for Mrs. Barton, please.
00:06:13Elizabeth?
00:06:14Oh, my God.
00:06:15What are you doing here?
00:06:16My flight was canceled.
00:06:18The fog.
00:06:19Mine, too.
00:06:19Isn't this crazy?
00:06:21Bob, this is the woman I was telling you about.
00:06:23You met on the way out.
00:06:24Pleasure.
00:06:26Nice to meet you.
00:06:27Join us for a nightcap?
00:06:30Oh, come on.
00:06:31Live a little dangerously.
00:06:32It'll be fun.
00:06:34Why not?
00:06:42Excuse me.
00:06:48I didn't realize your husband was joining you up here.
00:06:51Bob?
00:06:51Oh, he's not my husband.
00:06:56Oh, come on, darling.
00:06:57Don't say you didn't figure it out.
00:06:58Writers always figure it out.
00:07:00Wouldn't you say, Bob?
00:07:01You're interested in character, aren't you?
00:07:03Oh, yeah.
00:07:05And I'm interested in dessert.
00:07:08Real decadent.
00:07:10And sweet.
00:07:11So, what are you going to do to me tonight?
00:07:29That's kind of a strange question, because when you see it, you'll probably...
00:07:33Good night.
00:07:36I'll call you back in L.A.
00:07:37Okay.
00:07:38Good night.
00:07:38Good night.
00:07:52Good night.
00:07:54Very good night.
00:08:11You pipelines, you numa dozen years later.
00:08:13Right.
00:08:13Good night.
00:08:14Good night.
00:08:15Be fine.
00:08:15Good night.
00:08:16Cheers.
00:08:16por cent.
00:08:17Good night.
00:08:17Good night.
00:08:17Good night.
00:08:18Good night.
00:08:18Good night.
00:08:18Good morning.
00:08:19What?
00:08:19Good night.
00:08:20What are you doing?
00:08:21Good night?
00:08:21Good night.
00:08:21Good night.
00:08:21Good night.
00:08:22So what you're saying is a year ago, we would have qualified.
00:08:24I'm afraid with the change in your wife's salary,
00:08:28it makes it rather impossible at this time.
00:08:34Due to the change in your wife's salary,
00:08:36you call what they pay a salary?
00:08:39Honey, interns don't...
00:08:40Yeah, but Christ, 75K a year placing executives,
00:08:44you had it made, never having to leave the house,
00:08:46never having to leave your study.
00:08:48Come on, honey.
00:08:49We both knew it was going to be tough in the beginning.
00:08:51Hey, recruiting made me miserable.
00:08:53You don't want me to be miserable, do you?
00:08:56Yeah, but it's been over a year now.
00:08:58I mean, why not at least try another publication?
00:09:01What's so big about Weir magazine anyway?
00:09:03Griffin, he's the best editor in town.
00:09:06That's right.
00:09:07Your mentor, the one who changed your life one college afternoon.
00:09:11That must have been one hell of a lecture.
00:09:13Eric, stop it.
00:09:15Look, I'm pretty sure who used the piece I'm turning in today.
00:09:19Then I'll be on staff and everything's going to be okay.
00:09:23All right?
00:09:26Come on.
00:09:27What?
00:09:27Why do you always pretend, Laura, that you don't hear what I say
00:09:35when I don't damn well that you hear what I say?
00:09:36Do you want me to believe that you're stupid?
00:09:38Because if you do, I will.
00:09:42As for you, young lady,
00:09:44this happens to be a business,
00:09:46not a hobby between getting your hair done
00:09:48and having lunches.
00:09:49Your store is late.
00:09:50Where is it?
00:09:52It's right here.
00:09:53Elizabeth, the first line doesn't work.
00:10:02His story does.
00:10:03I hope so, for your sake.
00:10:05Staff meeting tomorrow morning, 10 a.m. sharp.
00:10:07Try to be there.
00:10:08Now, for our theme issue on sexual identities,
00:10:26Julie is going to cover the piece on married men
00:10:29and their infidelities.
00:10:31Be careful with your research, Julie.
00:10:33And, Carl, you have a handle on the gay dating service issue?
00:10:39I'm all over it, Griff.
00:10:41I'll cover the demographics.
00:10:43Good.
00:10:45That makes four features.
00:10:49But I want to have a fifth.
00:10:52If I don't have an acceptable idea by noon tomorrow,
00:10:55I believe there might be a little trouble in paradise.
00:10:57Elizabeth, in my office.
00:11:10You had a pretty good store going there,
00:11:11but you went down.
00:11:12Have a seat.
00:11:16I disagree.
00:11:17I think it works.
00:11:18Bullshit.
00:11:20It's very obvious that you backed off.
00:11:24Elizabeth, you should have dug in.
00:11:25You should have nailed that lawyer man right there at the end.
00:11:28You should have just confronted him and taken him down.
00:11:32No guts, no story.
00:11:35The thing is, I...
00:11:36What is the thing?
00:11:37Griff, your wife's on two.
00:11:40I can't talk to her right now.
00:11:41Would you please tell her I love her,
00:11:42and I'll call her back in a few minutes?
00:11:48Let me tell you what the thing isn't.
00:11:51The thing isn't Junior League.
00:11:53This is journalism, and journalism is telling the truth.
00:11:55If you can't tell the truth,
00:11:56then we do have a problem.
00:12:00You're gonna have to get tough, Elizabeth.
00:12:02The thing is, I just...
00:12:03Don't tell me what the thing is!
00:12:08We all have our demons.
00:12:10Now, the bottom line is,
00:12:11if you can't confront your demons
00:12:13and nail your endings,
00:12:15well, then maybe you just don't belong here.
00:12:19Will you please excuse me?
00:12:20I'd like to call my wife.
00:12:31My sauce came out great.
00:12:33Any reaction to the story?
00:12:46No.
00:12:52Actually, yes.
00:12:54He said he didn't like it.
00:12:55Griff?
00:12:56Well, what'd he say?
00:13:00He told me not to give up my day job.
00:13:10Happy now?
00:13:12It's not the end of the world, Lizzie.
00:13:17Maybe not for you.
00:13:18I'm going to die.
00:13:42Oh.
00:13:42hello
00:13:49this is this this is an san francisco last week
00:13:53yeah sure how are you good i just called to say hi i see how you're doing i really enjoyed our
00:14:01time together so did i it was fun so how is everything great how's bob oh behaving himself
00:14:10though not with me and i've been really curious about something i mean i know that it's none of
00:14:14my business so feel free to tell me to shut up at any time but i have to ask have there been others
00:14:20like bob god no never what do you think i mean i can't actually believe i'm doing something like
00:14:26this never in my wildest dreams i wasn't looking you understand it just happened is it serious i
00:14:34don't know i'm confused you know i come from a very sheltered protected background oh god i
00:14:40can't believe i'm telling you all this she tries to resist but the chemistry's too good it's like
00:14:45some weird kind of fate but of course she's torn with that nagging guilt she's a good girl and good
00:14:51girls don't indulge in affairs she married too soon she didn't sow any wild oats hey i know a lot of
00:14:57women who married number one and they're doing just fine this isn't about right or wrong it's about
00:15:03her reactions to what's going on the drama the deceit the guilt the self-loathing but then there's
00:15:08the raw passion the thrill the whole crushing experience i think that's what the special issue
00:15:14is about sexual discovery this is a woman in transition coming out of her cocoon what's the
00:15:21school anatomy of an affair a first timer the virgin adulteress
00:15:28the virgin adulteress
00:15:42the virgin adulteress
00:15:43that's good very good maybe even excellent
00:15:51catholic girl goes astray but not too far
00:15:57very nice but elizabeth the terrain infidelity adulteress sexual activity isn't that foreign
00:16:06territory for you you may need a passport
00:16:08i think i can handle it you do

00:16:40i don't know i mean she seems to think so and she's living it god laura she seems so free
00:16:46i don't believe it i mean it's bad karma you put that kind of energy out there and it's bound to come
00:16:51back and hurt you you know you should call my psychic calia she's so in tune yeah yeah i'm serious
00:17:01i don't know but you know it sounds a little kinky kinky yeah why is it okay for a man to have
00:17:09an affair and a woman has an affair and it's kinky well maybe i don't want you getting any ideas
00:17:17this is not about me lizzie don't start that again i told you i haven't been with anybody else
00:17:23since we've been married god you're so insecure i wasn't talking about you i was talking about her
00:17:32you know it would be really nice if you were a little supportive from time to time don't taste it
00:17:38it's garlic it's probably her now here stir my sauce hello why don't you tell me how you met
00:17:51this is great anne i can't believe how much we covered look let's meet at the beach tomorrow
00:18:02i'll see you then
00:18:03oh god yes i'm so nervous so where did it finally happen the miramar on santa monica
00:18:15yes we got a room at the hotel we had lunch sent up with champagne it was absolutely divine he was so
00:18:22sweet and adoring and the sex it was amazingly great god i don't mean to be so blunt but i never
00:18:28had sex like that i just didn't know it existed so it was like you mean there's this
00:18:33you know the sweetest thing he sent a bouquet of roses to the house with a card the next day
00:18:45this is just so strange remember how you were telling me about how you first met bob
00:18:50staring line at the movies and having coffee afterwards and now making love for the first
00:18:55time at the miramar and getting roses and a note later it's almost exactly like it happened with eric and
00:19:02i no you're serious yes
00:19:08i think it's time we had that fabulous bottle of wine that we brought
00:19:18here you go either you and i are incredibly alike or that's an awfully bizarre coincidence
00:19:25cheers two coincidences coincidences beth i hate to say this but i've decided to like it
00:19:39screwing someone else besides my husband this is just so hard to believe darling look you and i
00:19:46were the good girls prim and proper married the first man we slept with love and happiness forever
00:19:51after but that was then this is now and i'd like to think that i'm a bit of a late bloomer and that
00:19:58i have a whole lot of experience ahead of me i can do absolutely anything with him do you know how
00:20:03great that is to be like that with someone whenever you want whatever fantasy you want you make it sound
00:20:09so amazing
00:20:20eric makes me feel like a woman that's good like a sexy one sexy
00:20:27sure whatever that means do you play games well well we used to eric can be passionate
00:20:35i could go home dressed up and i know it would drive him crazy eric can take me in his arms and
00:20:41make love to me for hours and i know he really appreciates me eric and i are what are you doing
00:20:48what's gotten into you do you like it lizzie i don't need that to find you attractive
00:21:09i told you i'm perfectly happy with eric all right admit it you're curious you don't even have your
00:21:14tape recorder on you're asking me all this stuff now because you want to know not professionally
00:21:20personally i thought this was going to be about sex but it's not it's about disobedience
00:21:27and empowerment to disobey the rules others made us live by and living with what works for us
00:21:34for me but tell me truthfully you don't feel guilty making love to bob you can live with yourself
00:21:41there's no dirty feeling no sense of betrayal
00:21:50it's not living with myself it's living for myself and as for betrayal my husband forged that one
00:21:58a long time ago he's chosen to get disinvolved so i get involved elsewhere look having an affair is
00:22:06having an affair you go you do it and then you go home everything stays exactly the same
00:22:14imagine that you met someone new handsome as hell and just looking at it made you hot
00:22:20and circumstance made it so you could go to bed together
00:22:26yes you could no one would know you could do it in your life would stay exactly as it is
00:22:33yes you could do it and love every minute of it i couldn't i wouldn't
00:22:42do it in your life would stay exactly as it is but what if you could
00:22:55do it in your life would stay exactly as it is but what if you could
00:23:03Hi, we're not home.
00:23:26Leave a message.
00:23:28Hello.
00:23:28Thought you had a great kick out of eavesdropping on Bob and me.
00:23:32Almost like being here.
00:23:34He's so great.
00:23:50Well, if it isn't Mr. Movie Star.
00:23:55Good.
00:23:57Right then.
00:23:58He's out with some friends.
00:24:05I'm kind of working tonight.
00:24:06Well, I still want you guys to come over for dinner.
00:24:17We'd love to come, thanks.
00:24:18Okay.
00:24:19Bye.
00:24:20I'll see you later.
00:24:21Get the tape.
00:24:28The tape.
00:24:29You're good.
00:24:29I'll see you later.
00:24:31Bye.
00:25:32I want to. Just not tonight. I have to stay here.
00:25:42You are so selfish, you know that?
00:25:45Spending your days in there stagnating.
00:25:47I'm sick of this writing thing, this fucking little hobby.
00:25:50You're my wife.
00:25:52Spending your days in there.
00:26:04It's so raw, so primal.
00:26:19And my lover wants the same thing I do. Fulfillment.
00:26:23You should try it.
00:26:25Darling, the romance fades from everyone's marriage eventually.
00:26:28I dropped the answering machine off.
00:26:51I said it'd be a couple days, so I got a replacement.
00:26:55I took the tape out. It's on your desk.
00:27:00Any news about Ann?
00:27:02No.
00:27:04There's something really wrong with her not calling.
00:27:07The number being disconnected.
00:27:09I can just feel it.
00:27:10The woman came to her senses. That's what happened.
00:27:14I mean, why should she expose herself, her affair?
00:27:17She bailed out.
00:27:18She would tell me.
00:27:20We got close.
00:27:21Please, you just met.
00:27:27Face it, Lizzie, she's gone.
00:27:29So's your story.
00:27:32No!
00:27:34It's not over!
00:27:37Maybe it's a different story.
00:27:40Maybe it's a bigger story.
00:27:43Don't you get it, Eric?
00:27:44I really feel like this is gonna be my breakthrough piece.
00:27:47You know how many times I've heard that pathetic line?
00:27:55Lizzie.
00:28:00You just dropped this whole thing, huh?
00:28:02Come on, give us a chance to finish the house.
00:28:06Build a great life together.
00:28:09Fuck you.
00:28:11Jesus Christ.
00:28:12Why should I give up my dreams like you?
00:28:15Just let them sit in a corner and gather dust like your photography equipment?
00:28:21Why is that okay with you?
00:28:23It's not okay with me.
00:28:26There's just so much about us that it's not okay with me.
00:28:29I know dinner was canceled last night.
00:28:34Why were you?
00:28:37I was having a drink.
00:28:39Having a couple drinks.
00:28:41I was by myself alone.
00:28:44Okay?
00:29:08Eric, this is David at the office.
00:29:10The boss is a bit bigalophile and I can't find it.
00:29:13I know you're putting way for safekeeping, U.S.O.B.
00:29:15He seems pretty anxious, so call me as soon as possible.
00:29:21Hey, Elizabeth.
00:29:22It's Sarah.
00:29:23We have her?
00:29:24I can't tell you.
00:29:26So call me when you get a chance.
00:29:27Okay.
00:29:29Elizabeth?
00:29:31I thought you might get kicked out of East Dropping on Bull.
00:29:33Almost like being here.
00:29:35He's so great.
00:29:37I'm in this, you know, total funk.
00:29:49So, like, I'm in this, you know, total funk.
00:30:02The acting is, like, completely back burner.
00:30:04I'm like Bill Holden in Sunset Boulevard, right?
00:30:06And I'm in New York, doing my usual Saturday night at the Pierre Bar.
00:30:12Nightman floats me a double Cointreau, because he knows I like the French stuff, you know, impresses the ladies or whatever.
00:30:17He says he's got a guy from L.A. who wants to meet me.
00:30:21It's a hush-hush thing, but he smells money, right?
00:30:24So right away, I mean, you know, I'm interested.
00:30:27Anyway, listen to this, by the way.
00:30:29Bob, the newcomer from New York, with a haunting presence, turns in a truly inspiring performance.
00:30:37Cool.
00:30:38So that's something.
00:30:38Anyway, so I meet the dude, which is what I call him, the dude, right?
00:30:44And he lays out the gig for me, which is all I got to do is I have to initiate an affair with this broad, right?
00:30:51But he's going to give me all the particulars that I need to, like, properly seduce her.
00:30:55No shit.
00:30:56Seriously, I mean, he's giving me all the accoutrements.
00:30:59I'm talking a car, upgraded threads, everything, right?
00:31:02So he shows me a picture, because that's important.
00:31:03I've got to see what she looks like, right?
00:31:05And she looks good.
00:31:05I mean, she's almost a babe.
00:31:06It's like, you know, I mean, she's a little bit sedate looking around thinking this is no problem.
00:31:11Totally doable, nailable thing.
00:31:13Plus he got you the lead in the play, right?
00:31:15Mm-hmm, yeah.
00:31:16God, I love this city.
00:31:18Cockroached a budding star in two months.
00:31:20Mm-hmm.
00:31:26What sort of extension are we talking about?
00:31:32Maybe just a week.
00:31:35You're in trouble, aren't you?
00:31:36No.
00:31:38Then let's have it.
00:31:39Look, I just need a few days to verify some things that she told me.
00:31:43Don't try to bullshit me.
00:31:45What's the real reason?
00:31:47I need to nail my ending.
00:31:50That's all you had to say, Elizabeth.
00:31:53I'll give you one week because I respect your honesty.
00:31:56Elizabeth, which one of these would you go with?
00:32:16Pussy.
00:32:19That's our choice.
00:32:25So why didn't you tell me you're an actor?
00:32:26Uh, well, because whenever you, uh, you know, say that, people think you're a flake.
00:32:33Especially if you're not famous.
00:32:35What's, uh, what's on your mind?
00:32:37Well, I was interviewing Anne for this story I'm doing, and now she's disappeared off the
00:32:42face of the earth.
00:32:45What does that have to do with me?
00:32:47I mean, because if you think I can hook you up with her, you're, you know, you're wrong.
00:32:51Anything personal would really help.
00:32:53No, see, Anne was, she was real good at keeping her life extra private.
00:32:57So are you saying that you're having a relationship with a woman and you don't know the first thing
00:33:03about her?
00:33:03How is that possible?
00:33:05No, I'm not saying that at all.
00:33:06I know plenty.
00:33:07I know all kinds of things.
00:33:09I know, like, uh, what her favorite foreplay is.
00:33:14I know how she trembles just before she comes.
00:33:18See, I know lots of things about her, pretty private stuff, just not stuff that's right
00:33:21for you or for your little interview.
00:33:22How about her husband?
00:33:23Did she ever mention him?
00:33:24Maybe where he works?
00:33:26What he does for a living?
00:33:27Nope.
00:33:27Wouldn't have a clue.
00:33:28I'm sure she told you, really.
00:33:29It was no strings attached.
00:33:30Maybe she just, you know, had her fill and thought, enough's enough.
00:33:33The last time I spoke to her, she told me that she was falling in love with you.
00:33:40She sounded very excited.
00:33:44It's bullshit, okay?
00:33:46She was in love with her husband, not me.
00:33:49She had great sex with me.
00:33:51It wasn't love.
00:33:53I think she knows the difference.
00:33:55Well, she's wrong.
00:33:57She didn't sound right.
00:33:59Anne could sound in a lot of ways, okay?
00:34:00She was very practiced in the art of deception.
00:34:03I have a feeling you're not bad at it yourself.
00:34:08Only when I'm paid to be.
00:34:10I'm an actor.
00:34:17That's nice.
00:34:19She made quite a point of a Catholic boarding school that she went to, graduated at the
00:34:23top of her class.
00:34:25What's so funny?
00:34:26A Catholic boarding school at the top of her class?
00:34:28Come on.
00:34:29No, no, no, no.
00:34:31Anne didn't finish high school.
00:34:32No, are you sure?
00:34:35I'm positive.
00:34:35I don't know.
00:35:05I don't know.
00:35:35I don't know.
00:36:05I don't know.
00:36:06No more.
00:36:07Please.
00:36:08Enough.
00:36:09Enough.
00:36:10Enough.
00:36:11I'm safe.
00:36:12What are you trying to say?
00:36:17I figured it out.
00:36:19God, you scared the hell out of me.
00:36:24What are you doing here?
00:36:25How did you know where I live?
00:36:27It wasn't hard to find.
00:36:29What did you figure out?
00:36:33Something about Ann?
00:36:35No.
00:36:36About you.
00:36:38See, first I thought to myself, what is this nice, happily married woman doing writing about extramarital affairs?
00:36:49Doesn't add up.
00:36:50I get paid to be interested.
00:36:53I don't buy it.
00:36:54This isn't about Ann or her affairs.
00:36:58This is about you.
00:36:59Portrait of the writer emerging from darkness.
00:37:02That's ridiculous.
00:37:03Is it?
00:37:04You're not looking for Ann.
00:37:05You're trying to find yourself.
00:37:06Look, you don't know anything about me.
00:37:07No.
00:37:08Indulge me.
00:37:09I mean, you have taken great care to hide your life inside this narrow little comfort zone here.
00:37:24It is so obvious what kind of world you've created for yourself.
00:37:29You are not the successful writer that you should be.
00:37:32Why is that?
00:37:34Because trying to protect ourselves doesn't work.
00:37:37It never does.
00:37:38Life is not about trying to be safe and comfortable.
00:37:42Life is about one thing.
00:37:43It's about living.
00:37:44To be truly alive.
00:37:46Isn't that what you want?
00:37:48To finally be free?
00:37:50I understand that.
00:37:53You see?
00:37:54I get it.
00:37:55I get you.
00:37:57And he doesn't.
00:37:59Does he?
00:38:00Your husband and me.
00:38:02Of course he doesn't.
00:38:04Because he is not like us.
00:38:06He's not an artist.
00:38:09Sometimes I get so scared.
00:38:12I know you do.
00:38:14But it's calling you.
00:38:16And you've got to follow your heart.
00:38:18Because you don't want to live with regrets, do you?
00:38:22No.
00:38:23No.
00:38:24Hello?
00:38:25Me.
00:38:26I got the Bigelow account.
00:38:27It's great, honey.
00:38:28Can you give me a ride to the airport?
00:38:29Sure.
00:38:30Just let me know where and when.
00:38:31All right.
00:38:32Okay.
00:38:33I love you.
00:38:34Hello?
00:38:35Me?
00:38:36I got the Bigelow account.
00:38:37That's great, honey.
00:38:38Can you give me a ride to the airport?
00:38:39Sure.
00:38:40Just let me know where and when.
00:38:41All right.
00:38:42Okay.
00:38:43I love you.
00:38:44I love you.
00:39:14She sounded really scared like something awful was about to happen to her.
00:39:30Elizabeth, stop obsessing about this. Just drop the story.
00:39:33I can handle it.
00:39:35You know, I don't get you anymore. This sounds dangerous.
00:39:38It's time to back off, okay?
00:39:40I can't back off. I have to do this.
00:39:42I know you probably wouldn't understand.
00:39:44Try me.
00:39:45Life is not about being safe. It's not about pretending.
00:39:48It's about seeing things for what they really are.
00:39:51Like not pretending we're not having problems with our marriage.
00:39:54And that I didn't find a book in the closet from another woman.
00:39:56Obviously a relationship you feel that you have to hide from me.
00:40:02Why can't you let go of the past?
00:40:04Why can't you?
00:40:05You know, I can't get into this right now. I gotta go.
00:40:07You always gotta go!
00:40:09I'm not backing off, Eric!
00:40:12Oh, man, you are good.
00:40:17If I were Griff, I would not want to mess with you.
00:40:21I think I feel better.
00:40:26Yeah.
00:40:27It's your turn now.
00:40:29Great.
00:40:30Hey, I've been meaning to ask you, how'd that surprise go?
00:40:35What surprise go?
00:40:36What surprise?
00:40:38You know, Eric's sitting next to you on the flight to San Francisco.
00:40:41I thought it sounded very romantic.
00:40:43What are you talking about, Lori?
00:40:45What?
00:40:47His secretary called me and she asked me to book a seat next to you.
00:40:52Eric doesn't have a secretary.
00:40:55He doesn't?
00:40:56So who did sit next to you?
00:40:59Okay, I'm out of here.
00:41:01Here's the number of the detective in New York.
00:41:03I gave him the rundown and I told him to call you with some answers.
00:41:18Perfect.
00:41:19Thank you, Lori, your lifesaver.
00:41:21I'm so on top of it, it's scary.
00:41:24I've got to run.
00:41:25Ciao.
00:41:26You have a good one.
00:41:30Good night, Lori.
00:41:33Well, it's nice to see you here.
00:41:35One might believe you're actually a writer.
00:41:38Yeah, little old me out in the real world living dangerously.
00:41:43Why the long face?
00:41:44You having a little trouble with the article?
00:41:46Why don't we go across the street and have ourselves a drink and we can talk about it.
00:41:55Come on, Griff.
00:41:56You know I don't drink.
00:41:58You're a big girl, Elizabeth.
00:42:01And I'm a good listener.
00:42:03Come on.
00:42:07What the hell?
00:42:08She's in the seat next to me.
00:42:16She's at the same hotel.
00:42:17Makes sure she runs into me.
00:42:19Just too many coincidences.
00:42:21It's like...
00:42:23She's lying to me about everything.
00:42:27Your subject has become a slippery character.
00:42:29When was the last time you heard from her?
00:42:31Four days ago.
00:42:33Do you know what's really weird?
00:42:34I mean, I can't quite explain it, but it's like she wants me to write this article.
00:42:39Like she found me.
00:42:42I'd give her a couple days.
00:42:43Do you have a lease of gold?
00:42:45Maybe.
00:42:47There's this guy.
00:42:49Her lover?
00:42:50Yes.
00:42:51But he doesn't seem to nope anything.
00:42:54Griffin, how do you know when your maid is having an affair?
00:42:58I'm sure there are signs, intimate ones, but I wouldn't know about that.
00:43:01Until then.
00:43:04Why are you always so hard on me?
00:43:06I mean, ever since I came here, it's like I can do nothing right.
00:43:10Elizabeth, you have the potential to fly, but you're still crawling.
00:43:16And there is another reason why I had to keep my distance.
00:43:20I know why.
00:43:21It's because you're a professional and I'm nothing but a scandalous freshman.
00:43:25Believe me, I get it.
00:43:26Elizabeth, ever since we first met when I was lecturing at Columbia University, I saw how much alike we are.
00:43:33I've watched you blossom into this incredibly amazing woman.
00:43:38And I've always known that you had it in you to be an incredible journalist.
00:43:42You think I'm good?
00:43:44Yes, I do.
00:43:46Why didn't you ever tell me?
00:43:51What I didn't count on was...
00:43:57was falling in love with you.
00:44:00Elizabeth.
00:44:03Let me just say...
00:44:05I think we would be a great team.
00:44:07I think we could have an amazing life together.
00:44:10Would you care to discuss this at another time?
00:44:26He gives me flowers, beautiful flowers.
00:44:29When he kisses me, it's electric.
00:44:32And did I mention to you that he really knows how to satisfy a woman?
00:44:35They're shameless.
00:44:37Perhaps.
00:44:38But I'm happy.
00:44:40You don't know happiness until you've had a lover like Bob.
00:44:47Hello?
00:44:49Do you like them?
00:44:51Yes.
00:44:53They're very beautiful, thank you very much.
00:44:56I didn't mean to upset you earlier.
00:45:00It's okay.
00:45:01It's just...
00:45:02Well, you caught me off guard.
00:45:05Listen, I think I might have some good news for you.
00:45:08I found Anne's hotel receipt.
00:45:11Maybe it'll help.
00:45:13Well, when can I get it?
00:45:15Oh, um...
00:45:17How about tomorrow night?
00:45:19That's to my show.
00:45:21Really?
00:45:22Yeah.
00:45:24You could, uh...
00:45:25You could come over.
00:45:27You have the address, right?
00:45:28Tell in the car about the flowers.
00:45:30Okay.
00:45:32I'll be there.
00:45:33Okay.
00:45:34Good.
00:45:36Can't wait to see you.
00:45:38Wait a minute, Bob.
00:45:39Yeah.
00:45:40One more thing.
00:45:44Where were you last Wednesday?
00:45:48Hm.
00:45:49I was...
00:45:50I was doing my play.
00:45:52Did you see Anne afterwards?
00:45:54No.
00:45:56Uh, wish I did.
00:45:57Let me see.
00:45:59I came home.
00:46:00I finished this bio I was reading on Olivier.
00:46:03I, uh, made a pot of coffee, mocha bean.
00:46:07Um, I smoked a cigar, brushed my teeth, had a pint of great ice cream.
00:46:11All right, I get the picture.
00:46:12Ha, ha, ha.
00:46:13Wait.
00:46:14What flavor?
00:46:15Oh, uh, peanut butter swirls.
00:46:17Mmm.
00:46:18I hope this was pre-tooth brushing.
00:46:19Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:46:20Ha, ha, ha.
00:46:21Ha, ha, ha.
00:46:22Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:46:23There you go.
00:46:24Hey.
00:46:25Let's grab a coffee.
00:46:26Can we have a couple of iced coffees please?
00:46:28You got it.
00:46:29There you go.
00:46:30Hi.
00:46:31Let's grab a coffee.
00:46:32Here.
00:46:33Can we have a couple of iced coffees please?
00:46:35Yeah, man, here you go.
00:46:38How's the story coming along?
00:46:40Mmm, good.
00:46:42As a matter of fact, I have a date tonight and I want you guys.
00:46:45So I'm happy to have a month.
00:46:46Oh, you wanna leave?
00:46:48You're happy to have dinner with me, you're happy to have dinner with?
00:46:51And I have, I'll have to add my friend.
00:46:53All right, you're real.
00:46:55In fact, I have a date tonight to pick up a piece of the missing puzzle.
00:46:58And who has that piece?
00:47:00Friend of a friend.
00:47:01Does his friend play a part in the fantasy?
00:47:04You could say that.
00:47:06But it's just a fantasy, right?
00:47:08Lori, I'm still in my job.
00:47:09I know. I believe you.
00:47:11Have you heard from the detective in New York about Bob?
00:47:14Not yet.
00:47:16He always delivers.
00:47:19God, I hope so.
00:47:25Come in. It's open.
00:47:45Hi.
00:47:47Hi.
00:47:49Welcome to my beautiful abode.
00:47:53Wow, it's great.
00:47:56Thanks.
00:47:57Congratulations.
00:47:58I read your reviews. They're really great.
00:48:00Yeah.
00:48:01Yeah, looks like I'm finally starting to get the recognition I deserve.
00:48:07Kiss or kill.
00:48:10I like that.
00:48:11Me too.
00:48:13Sit down.
00:48:14Make yourself comfortable. Relax.
00:48:16Take your coat off.
00:48:18Thanks.
00:48:20I think we should have a drink.
00:48:25Here's to being absolutely, totally, 100% alive.
00:48:35Truly alive.
00:48:37I have a feeling you know a lot about that.
00:48:39I do.
00:48:40Oh, my God, I can't believe you have that picture.
00:48:41Who?
00:48:42I have the same exact one in my house.
00:48:43Really? I've had that since high school.
00:48:44Me too.
00:48:45No way.
00:48:46When I first saw it, I was truly amazed.
00:48:48You box too?
00:48:49Yes, I do.
00:48:50So do I.
00:48:51You do?
00:48:52A little bit.
00:48:53Let me get that receipt for you.
00:48:54Okay.
00:48:55Let me get that receipt for you.
00:48:56Okay.
00:48:57first saw it, I was truly amazed. You boxed, too? Yes, I did. So do I. You do? A little bit. Let me get that receipt for you. Okay.
00:49:19Here. Thank you. Here. Taste that.
00:49:49I gotta go. Where are you gonna go?
00:50:19Son of a bitch. What the hell? Think you're gonna nail me? No fucking way.
00:50:48No fucking way.
00:51:18Hey, it's me. You there? Lizzie. I miss you. Baby, where are you? I hope everything's okay. Look, things are going great up here. I want to apologize. I'm sorry. I love you. Call me at the hotel.
00:51:40Where's my story, Elizabeth? Your time's up.
00:51:46What if I can't do this?
00:51:48Yeah, this is Detective James Martin. I've got that information you requested. I'm gonna fax through the rap sheet on this guy. He's a seasoned criminal with several felonies on his record. You should be real careful around him.
00:51:59Eric, where are you?
00:52:23Eric.
00:52:25San Francisco Hilton.
00:52:31Eric Barton, please.
00:52:33Uh, he checked out this morning.
00:52:34What do you mean, he checked out? Are you sure?
00:52:37Yes, positive.
00:52:39Yeah, okay. Thank you.
00:52:42He checked out.
00:52:43Where are you when I need you?
00:52:49Where the fuck are you?
00:52:54Fucking lie!
00:52:55Hi.
00:53:07Hey.
00:53:08Can you help me?
00:53:22Sure.
00:53:22A friend of mine may have purchased something here. Can you make any sense of this?
00:53:27I can make out a false name, Jennifer, but that's about it. Last name is too smudged.
00:53:33Well, is there any other source where it might be?
00:53:35Not on the first-time buyer. Nice-looking lady, though. Great legs.
00:53:39Can you tell what she bought?
00:53:42Sunny 8-millimeter video camera with an automatic timer. She wanted that.
00:53:49For the camera?
00:53:50Sure. Security, surveillance, kinky stuff in the bedroom.
00:53:55No, just kidding. She didn't seem the type. He did.
00:53:57He?
00:53:58Yeah, the guy with her. Tall, dark, kind of Italian. Passing himself off as an actor. Great excuse
00:54:05not to work if you ask me. Funny, I just called. His order is ready.
00:54:10What order?
00:54:12Made some dupes for him. Copies of a video. It was a rush order, I guess. Something important.
00:54:19I get it for you, but it's not here. We found it out. He's picking it up directly from the lab downtown.
00:54:24Tell them I sent you. Thank you. Hey, come back any time. I'll get you a deal on a video.
00:54:45Honestly, I don't see one decent photograph of the whole bunch. Well, I'll tell you what.
00:54:50Please, just one more day. I'm on to something, I swear.
00:54:55Hold on a second. Elizabeth, I need real proof.
00:54:59I'm getting it.
00:55:02Well, leave it here. I'll give it a read. Meet me across the street at 530 and leave your cell phone number.
00:55:07No, not you. Well, honestly, just the thought of looking at him again makes me nauseous. Forget about it. I'm pulling you off the project.
00:55:20Don't leave it here.
00:55:22I don't want to lie.
00:55:24I'm going to work there today.
00:55:55Griff, Elizabeth. I'm on to something. 3.35, bro. I'm going to be late for our 5.30, but I'll be there.
00:56:16Gotta have the guts to know you're ending, Beth.
00:56:18Okay.
00:56:55She was an absolute pleasure.
00:57:04I think that this changes it.
00:57:09No way.
00:57:10Hey, I fulfilled my end of the deal, man.
00:57:13You can't just decide that now.
00:57:15I'm not going to let you do this.
00:57:20Hey, fuck you, man. We had a deal.
00:57:22The girl is fine.
00:57:27Listen, I'm watching this thing right now.
00:57:30Listen, I've got the original and I've got the only copies, okay?
00:57:34So what's it going to be?
00:57:35Look, if she becomes a problem, I'll take care of her personally.
00:57:38Uh, I'm going to call you right back.
00:57:47Hey!
00:57:49Elizabeth!
00:57:51Hey, now!
00:57:51Oh, my God!
00:58:07Oh, my God!
00:58:09Ah!
00:58:13Oh, my God!
00:58:14Oh, my God!
00:58:16Look out!
00:58:30Ron?
00:58:46Elizabeth, God, are you all right?
00:59:04My story just got bigger.
00:59:06The woman I've been looking for, I think she's dead.
00:59:08Yeah, my God, are you all right?
00:59:12I'll check in later.
00:59:14Nailing the ending of your story does not mean the end of you, Elizabeth.
00:59:17Do you have proof?
00:59:19I'm this close.
00:59:26I'm God, child. What have you gotten yourself into?
00:59:30Lizzie?
00:59:31Honey, where are you?
00:59:33Lizzie?
00:59:43Is he at the theater yet?
00:59:56He's scheduled to go on tonight, but he isn't here yet.
00:59:58Damn it.
00:59:59I've got to get that tape.
01:00:01I know that's what Anne was trying to say on my answer.
01:00:02How do you know he has it?
01:00:04Because I snuck over to this place earlier, and I saw him watching it.
01:00:07Lori, I've got to get in there, get it, and get out.
01:00:09You're in way over your head on this.
01:00:10You should be careful.
01:00:12I know.
01:00:12But like Griff says, no guts, no story.
01:00:16Lori, I need you to buy me some time.
01:00:17If he shows up here, just make sure he doesn't leave.
01:00:23Be careful!
01:00:24Be careful!
01:00:54Okay, thanks. See you later.
01:01:12Bob?
01:01:23Bob?
01:01:33Dude.
01:01:34I love...
01:01:36Oh, my God.
01:02:06Oh, my God.
01:02:36Oh, my God.
01:03:06Eric.
01:03:09Oh, my God.
01:03:26Oh, my God.
01:03:27Oh, my God.
01:03:28Oh, my God.
01:03:31Oh, my God.
01:03:32Oh, my God.
01:03:33Oh, my God.
01:03:35Oh, my God.
01:03:40Oh, my God.
01:03:41Come on.
01:03:42Pick up.
01:03:43Pick up.
01:03:44You're not going to believe what I've just seen.
01:03:46What's wrong? Are you all right?
01:03:49Elizabeth, what's wrong?
01:03:51Elizabeth, where are you?
01:03:53Oh, shit. He's still here.
01:03:56He's here.
01:03:57Pick me up at the market on Ocean. Please hurry.
01:04:14Oh, shit.
01:04:44Oh, shit.
01:04:48Rod!
01:04:53Are you all right?
01:04:54You're not going to believe this video, what's on it, what I saw tonight.
01:04:58Have you spoken to anyone else about this?
01:05:00No one. I mean, I haven't had time. I just came from there.
01:05:02Where?
01:05:03Bob's.
01:05:04Bob?
01:05:05Bob was murdered tonight by, oh, my God.
01:05:08Oh, my God, by, I think, Eric, but I don't know.
01:05:10I mean, it just happened so fast.
01:05:12Murdered?
01:05:12Well, just relax a little bit. I'll take you somewhere where you'll be safe.
01:05:26Are you all right?
01:05:29Where are we going?
01:05:30I'll just have to make a little detour. I hope you don't mind.
01:05:39Well, where are you taking me?
01:05:42I'll have a little surprise for you, Elizabeth.
01:05:46Did I ever tell you that I hate surprises?
01:05:49You can't run, but you surely cannot hide.
01:06:04What is destined to be...
01:06:07shall be.
01:06:08Please, my love.
01:06:23What is it?
01:06:25It's for you.
01:06:26I can't.
01:06:27Oh, I think you can.
01:06:29I think we can.
01:06:31Can what?
01:06:32Can do whatever we want.
01:06:34Whatever you want.
01:06:35Elizabeth, we think we know life.
01:06:37We think we know people, but we don't know anything.
01:06:40The only thing I am certain of is my loving you.
01:06:43I never realized I was capable of so much love.
01:06:46Nor of doing what I have unfortunately done.
01:06:48What circumstances have forced me to do.
01:06:50Ann was an exceptionally gifted woman
01:06:57at making people believe what she wanted them to believe.
01:07:00Everyone thought she was such a devoted wife.
01:07:03Wave?
01:07:04Oh, don't worry about that, Elizabeth.
01:07:06The hate in our marriage stemmed from something
01:07:07much more substantial than mere infidelity.
01:07:10She wanted to destroy me.
01:07:11She wanted to destroy all my dreams
01:07:13once she realized that I was no longer in love with her.
01:07:16And she would have taken everything from me.
01:07:18She was as manipulating and cold-blooded as they come.
01:07:22She was peeled as a man.
01:07:24But let's not dwell on the morbid.
01:07:26Would you like to have some strawberries?
01:07:31Please.
01:07:34Our life together would be rather extraordinary from now on.
01:07:37Together we will conquer the literary world.
01:07:41For starters, a five-year contract with a magazine
01:07:44starting at a six-figure level car, of your choice, of course.
01:07:48How would you like to have a house in Malibu
01:07:50and a penthouse in New York City
01:07:52and a table of your own at Elaine's?
01:07:54You go to all the best places.
01:07:56You and I will travel the world together.
01:07:59Right.
01:08:00Anything your heart desires, you will have.
01:08:06Have you forgotten that I have a husband?
01:08:08Oh, yes, a husband that started this whole dirty thing.
01:08:12The husband that cheated, the husband that lied.
01:08:14The husband that didn't believe in your dreams,
01:08:16just cared about your paycheck,
01:08:18didn't give a damn about you and your life.
01:08:20Yes, your husband.
01:08:24I've been considering this.
01:08:31Your precious husband.
01:08:33How will you explain, Anne?
01:08:47Apparently, Anne and her lover are on an extended vacation in Barbados.
01:08:53Probably will not be returning.
01:08:55That, of course, would devastate me,
01:08:56but I will carry on.
01:08:59What about Bob?
01:09:02Sometimes a man's checkered past catches up with him,
01:09:05which requires a hasty departure,
01:09:07usually to a faraway foreign country.
01:09:11You certainly have thought of everything.
01:09:14Yes, I have.
01:09:17Let's say I've edited down to a walkable piece.
01:09:20The bottom line, Elizabeth, is I love you.
01:09:27I know the lifestyle that you want,
01:09:29and I can give you everything you want.
01:09:32There is, however, one thing I must insist upon.
01:09:37We take care of Eric.
01:09:39Take care of?
01:09:40We'll do it together.
01:09:42That will seal our bond of love.
01:09:44I hope you don't mind.
01:09:52I've invited a friend of yours.
01:09:55Eric, thank you for joining us.
01:09:58Please.
01:10:00I'm sure you know the young lady on the staff journalist.
01:10:04Please have said.
01:10:07So you actually made the big time, right?
01:10:09I'm a staff writer.
01:10:10Oh, yes.
01:10:12Elizabeth is destined for big things indeed.
01:10:17Congratulations, honey.
01:10:18Yes.
01:10:19I was just telling Elizabeth about the apartment.
01:10:21Fascinating story of how I came about finding this place.
01:10:26I thought this place was Anne's.
01:10:28So did Anne.
01:10:29Little did she know she was subliminal from me.
01:10:31Eric, I believe you know my wife, Anne.
01:10:33Do you not?
01:10:35Uh, possibly.
01:10:39Oh, possibly.
01:10:40Honey.
01:10:42I thought for sure you and my wife were having an affair.
01:10:47All right.
01:10:49Busy, this guy's out of his mind.
01:10:51Let's get out of here.
01:10:52Now, does that help refresh your memory?
01:11:03Some of those long, lingering afternoons at the Miramar Hotel with my wife.
01:11:08Or do you need to sit down and collect your thoughts?
01:11:17Put your pathetic ass in this chair.
01:11:19What is this bullshit?
01:11:22I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
01:11:24See, he doesn't know anything.
01:11:28He doesn't.
01:11:29Zip it.
01:11:30Zip it, A.
01:11:35Anne's diary.
01:11:37You may read a few passages.
01:11:38August 19th, just several months ago, Eric made such a funny joke today about that nitwit wife of his, the writer.
01:11:48The joke was, was she more inexperienced at making love or writing?
01:11:54God, did we laugh.
01:11:56You're lying.
01:11:57I never said that.
01:11:58It's all right here.
01:11:59No!
01:12:00No, you're lying.
01:12:01He's lying.
01:12:02Is this lying?
01:12:07All right.
01:12:10It happened before we met, I swear.
01:12:13Is that being a devoted husband, Eric?
01:12:16I think it's disgusting.
01:12:18Making fun of your lovely wife's dreams.
01:12:20I, I knew, hold on.
01:12:28All right, I had just about enough out of you, you fucking psycho!
01:12:32Ah!
01:12:33God!
01:12:34Death!
01:12:35Ah!
01:12:36Ah!
01:12:37Ah!
01:12:39Ah!
01:12:39The hell is wrong with this man?
01:12:42Why do people not believe when someone has a gun, they will use it?
01:12:46I have your wife and a gun, and I will use the gun again!
01:12:51Ah!
01:12:52Oh!
01:12:53Oh!
