Transcript
00:01:30Come on, sweetheart. We've got to go.
00:01:53I'm going to miss my flight.
00:01:54Okay. You seemed tense. You didn't have that dream again, did you?
00:01:57No.
00:01:57I'm just anxious about the meeting.
00:02:02I've got to make this guy talk, or else my story sucks, Griff will never buy it, and there
00:02:08goes 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 in my strong suit.
00:02:15Hey, you're smart, kiddo. I know you can do it.
00:02:22Come on.
00:02:23All right. Remember, nerves are stealing.
00:02:38I'll try.
00:02:38Don't try. Just do it.
00:02:43Be a good girl, honey.
00:02:44All right. I'm always good.
00:02:47I'm going.
00:03:07We're proceeding to taxi onto the runway, and this time we ask you to fasten your seat
00:03:24on the next day every day, girl.
00:03:38Hi.
00:03:39Hello.
00:03:40How 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.
00:04:44He 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, we agree.
00:05:35There is no storm.
00:05:37You'll excuse me, Miss Barton.
00:05:38Taxi?
00:05:48I 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 cancelled, the 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.
00:06:36Why not?
00:06:42Excuse me.
00:06:42I 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?
00:07:04Oh, yeah.
00:07:04And I'm interested in dessert.
00:07:08Real decadent.
00:07:10And sweet.
00:07:26So, what are you gonna do to me tonight?
00:07:28That's kind of a strange question, because when you see it, you won't come to you.
00:07:35Good night.
00:07:36I'll call you back in L.A.
00:07:37Okay.
00:07:38Good night.
00:07:38Good night.
00:07:39Good night.
00:08:18So 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 makes it rather impossible at this time.
00:08:34Due to the change in your wife's salary, you call what they pay a salary?
00:08:39Honey, interns don't...
00:08:40Yeah, but Christ, 75K a year placing executives, you had it made.
00:08:45Never having to leave the house, never having to leave your study.
00:08:47Come on, honey. We both knew it was going to be tough in the beginning.
00:08:52Recruiting made me miserable. You don't want me to be miserable, do you?
00:08:56Yeah, but it's been over a year now. I mean, why not at least try another publication?
00:09:01What's so big about Wear magazine anyway?
00:09:03Griffin? He's the best editor in town.
00:09:06That's right. Your 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. Look, 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.
00:09:24All right?
00:09:26Come on.
00:09:27Why do you always pretend, Laura, that you don't hear what I say when I don't damn well that you hear what I say?
00:09:36Do you want me to believe that you're stupid? Because if you do, I will.
00:09:42As for you, young lady, this happens to be a business, not a hobby, between getting your hair done and having lunches.
00:09:49Your store is late. Where is it?
00:09:50It's right here.
00:10:00Elizabeth, the first line doesn't work.
00:10:02His story does.
00:10:03I hope so, for your sake. Staff meeting tomorrow morning, 10 a.m. sharp. Try to do that.
00:10:08Now, for our theme issue on sexual identities, Julie is going to cover the piece on married men and their infidelities.
00:10:30Be careful with your research, Julie.
00:10:36And, Carl, you have a handle on the gay dating service issue?
00:10:39I'm all over, 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, I 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, but you went down. Have a seat.
00:11:16I disagree. I think it works.
00:11:18Bullshit.
00:11:19It's very obvious that you backed off.
00:11:24Elizabeth, you should have dug in. You 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. Would you please tell her I love him? I'll call her back in a few minutes.
00:11:44Let 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, then 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!
00:12:05We all have our demons.
00:12:10Now, the bottom line is, if you can't confront your demons and nail your endings,
00:12:15well, then maybe you just don't belong here.
00:12:19Will you please excuse me? I'd like to call my wife.
00:12:31My sauce came out great.
00:12:35Any reaction to the story?
00:12:46No.
00:12:52Actually, yes.
00:12:54He said he didn't like it.
00:12:55Griff?
00:12:59What'd he say?
00:13:00He told me not to give up my day job.
00:13:05Happy now?
00:13:12It's not the end of the world, Lizzie.
00:13:17Maybe not for you.
00:13:18Come.
00:13:28Okay.
00:13:40Come on.
00:13:40Come on.
00:13:41Come on.
00:13:42hello this is this this is an san francisco last week yeah sure how are you good i just called to
00:13:58say hi i see how you're doing i really enjoyed our time together so did i it was fun so how
00:14:05is everything great how's bob oh behaving himself though not with me and i've been really curious
00:14:12about something i mean i know that it's none of my business so feel free to tell me to shut up at
00:14:16any time but i have to ask have there been others like bob god no never what do you think i mean i
00:14:24can't actually believe i'm doing something like this never in my wildest dreams i wasn't looking
00:14:30you understand it just happened is it serious i don't know i'm confused you know i come from a
00:14:36very sheltered protected background oh god i can't believe i'm telling you all this she tries to
00:14:43resist but the chemistry's too good it's like some weird kind of fate but of course she's torn with
00:14:49that nagging guilt she's a good girl and good girls don't indulge in affairs she married too soon she
00:14:55didn't sow any wild oats hey i know a lot of women who married number one and they're doing just
00:14:59fun this isn't about right or wrong it's about her reactions to what's going on the drama the
00:15:06deceit the guilt the self-loathing but then there's the raw passion the thrill the whole crushing
00:15:11experience i think that's what the special issue is about sexual discovery this is a woman in
00:15:18transition coming out of her cocoon what's the school anatomy of an affair a first timer the virgin
00:15:27adulterous a virgin adulterous a virgin adulterous a virgin adulterous
00:15:43that's good very good maybe even excellent
00:15:51catholic girl goes astray but not too far very nice but elizabeth the terrain infidelity
00:16:02adulterous sexual activity isn't that foreign territory for you you may need a passport
00:16:08i think i can handle it you do yes i do well i hope so for your sake because if you don't have
00:16:16a rough draft in two weeks you may want to consider a new source of employment put that cigarette out
00:16:21look just do the best you can and don't worry about it okay i loved your presentation you were so
00:16:31great yeah how'd you get that woman to open up i don't know it's weird it's almost like she wants
00:16:36to do you believe it's possible to have an affair and not have it affect your marriage
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
00:16:51come back and hurt you you know you should call my psychic calia she's so in tune yeah yeah yeah i'm
00:16:58serious i don't know 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
00:17:15this 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
00:17:31you know it would be really nice if you were a little supportive from time to time don't taste it
00:17:38needs 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 man i can't believe how much we covered look let's meet at the beach tomorrow
00:18:01i'll see you then oh god yes i'm so nervous so where did it finally happen the miramar on santa
00:18:13monica yes we got a room at the hotel we had lunch sent up with champagne it was absolutely divine
00:18:21he was so sweet and adoring and the sex it was amazingly great god i don't mean to be so blunt but
00:18:28i never had sex like that i just didn't know it existed so it was like you mean there's this
00:18:34you know the sweetest thing he sent a bouquet of roses to the house with a card the next day
00:18:41this is just so strange remember how you were telling me about how you first met bob standing
00:18:50line at the movies and having coffee afterwards and now making love for the first time at the
00:18:56miramar and getting roses and a note later it's almost exactly like it happened with eric and i
00:19:02no you're serious yes
00:19:05i think it's time we had that fabulous bottle of wine that we brought
00:19:11here you go
00:19:19either you and i are incredibly alike or that's an awfully bizarre coincidence
00:19:24cheers two coincidences coincidences beth i hate to say this but i've decided to like it
00:19:39screwing someone else besides my husband
00:19:41this is just so hard to believe darling look you and i were the good girls prim and proper
00:19:48marry the first man we slept with love and happiness forever after but that was then this is now and i'd
00:19:55like to think that i'm a bit of a late bloomer and that i have a whole lot of experience ahead of me
00:20:00i can do absolutely anything with him do you know how great that is to be like that with someone
00:20:06whenever you want whatever fantasy you want you make it sound so amazing
00:20:20eric makes me feel like a woman that's good like a sexy one sexy
00:20:26well sure whatever that means do you play games well well we used to eric can be passionate
00:20:36i could go home and dress up and i know it would drive him crazy
00:20:40eric can take me in his arms and make love to me for hours and i know he really appreciates me
00:20:46eric and i are what are you doing
00:20:48what's gotten into you do you like it
00:20:59lizzie i don't need that to find you attractive
00:21:09i told you i'm perfectly happy with eric
00:21:12admit it you're curious you don't even have your tape recorder on
00:21:16you're asking me all this stuff now because you want to know not professionally personally
00:21:22i 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 may just 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 a long
00:21:58time ago he's chosen to get disinvolved so i get involved elsewhere look having an affair is having an
00:22:07affair 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
00:22:23yes you could no one would know you could do it in your life would stay exactly as it is
00:22:35you could do it and love every minute of it i couldn't i wouldn't
00:22:46but what if you could

00:32:16pussy
00:32:17that's our choice
00:32:25so why didn't you tell me you're an actor
00:32:28uh well because whenever you uh you know say that people think you're a flick
00:32:32especially if you're not famous
00:32:34what's uh what's on your mind
00:32:36what's on your mind
00:32:37well
00:32:39i was interviewing ann for this story i'm doing and now she's disappeared off the face of the earth
00:32:44tell me about the salad
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 i see ann 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 about her how is that possible
00:33:05no i'm not saying that at all i know plenty
00:33:08i know all kinds of things
00:33:10i know like uh what her favorite foreplay is
00:33:13i know how she trembles just before she comes
00:33:17see i know lots of things about her pretty private stuff just not stuff that's right for you or for your little interview
00:33:22how about her husband did she ever mention him maybe where he works what he does for a living
00:33:27nope wouldn't have a clue i'm sure she told you really it was no strings attached
00:33:30maybe she just you know had her fill and thought enough's enough
00:33:33enough's enough
00:33:35hmm
00:33:37the last time i spoke to her she told me that she was falling in love with you
00:33:41she sounded very excited
00:33:42what
00:33:44it's bullshit
00:33:46okay
00:33:47she was in love with her husband
00:33:48not 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 wrong
00:33:59it could sound a lot of ways okay
00:34:00she was very practiced in the art of deception
00:34:04i have a feeling you're not bad at it yourself

00:34:48this
00:34:50is
00:34:52is
00:34:58thank you
00:35:02I don't know.
00:35:32I don't know.
00:36:02You want to lose something?
00:36:03No.
00:36:05No.
00:36:06No more.
00:36:07Please.
00:36:09Enough.
00:36:11Enough.
00:36:13The tape.
00:36:15What are you trying to say?
00:36:19I figured it out.
00:36:20God, you scared the hell out of me.
00:36:24What are you doing here?
00:36:26How did you know where I live?
00:36:28It wasn't hard to find.
00:36:31What'd you figure out?
00:36:33Something about Ann?
00:36:35No.
00:36:37About you.
00:36:40See, first, I thought to myself, what is this nice, happily married woman doing writing about extramarital affairs?
00:36:50Doesn't add up.
00:36:51I get paid to be interested.
00:36:54I don't buy it.
00:36:56This isn't about Ann or her affairs.
00:36:59This is about you.
00:37:01Portrait of the writer emerging from darkness.
00:37:06That's ridiculous.
00:37:07Is it?
00:37:08You're not looking for Ann.
00:37:10You're trying to find yourself.
00:37:12Look, you don't know anything about me.
00:37:13Yeah?
00:37:15Indulge me.
00:37:15I mean, you have taken great care to hide your life inside this narrow little comfort zone here.
00:37:25It is so obvious what kind of world you've created for yourself.
00:37:30You are not the successful writer that you should be.
00:37:33Why is that?
00:37:36Because trying to protect ourselves doesn't work.
00:37:38It never does.
00:37:39Life is not about trying to be safe and comfortable.
00:37:43Life is about one thing.
00:37:44It's about living.
00:37:45To be truly alive.
00:37:48Isn't that what you want?
00:37:49To finally be free?
00:37:53I understand that.
00:37:54You see?
00:37:55I get it.
00:37:57I get you.
00:37:59And he doesn't.
00:38:00Does he?
00:38:02Your husband and me.
00:38:04Of course he doesn't.
00:38:05Because he's not like us.
00:38:08He's not an artist.
00:38:11Sometimes I get so scared.
00:38:13I know you do.
00:38:15But it's calling you.
00:38:17And you've got to follow your heart.
00:38:21Because you don't want to live with regrets, do you?
00:38:24No.
00:38:25No.
00:38:26No.
00:38:26No.
00:38:36Hello?
00:38:36Hello?
00:38:36Me?
00:38:37I got the Bigelow account.
00:38:39That's great, honey.
00:38:40Can you give me a ride to the airport?
00:38:41Sure.
00:38:42Just let me know where and when.
00:38:44All right.
00:38:44Okay.
00:38:45I love you.
00:38:45I'm sorry.
00:38:52I'm sorry.
00:38:54I'm sorry.
00:38:59Yeah.
00:39:03Okay.
00:39:05Good.
00:39:07Are you ready?
00:39:09Yes.
00:39:11Any time.
00:39:13She 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.
00:39:38Time 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.
00:39:46Life is not about being safe. It's not about pretending.
00:39:49It'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.
00:40:08You always gotta go!
00:40:10I'm not backing off, Eric!
00:40:18Man, you are good.
00:40:20If I were Griff, I would not want to mess with you.
00:40:23I think I feel better.
00:40:27Yeah.
00:40:28Well, it's your turn now.
00:40:30Great.
00:40:33Hey, I've been meaning to ask you, how'd that surprise go?
00:40:37What surprise?
00:40:39You know, Eric's sitting next to you on the flight to San Francisco.
00:40:42I thought it sounded very romantic.
00:40:44What are you talking about, Lori?
00:40:47What?
00:40:49His secretary called me and she asked me to book a seat next to you.
00:40:53Eric doesn't have a secretary.
00:40:56He doesn't?
00:40:59So who did sit next to you?
00:41:00Okay, I'm out of here.
00:41:14Here's the number of the detective in New York.
00:41:16I gave him the rundown and I told him to call you with some answers.
00:41:20Perfect.
00:41:21Thank you, Lori, you're a lifesaver.
00:41:23I'm so on top of it, it's scary.
00:41:25Gotta run. Ciao.
00:41:27You have a good one.
00:41:30Good night, Lori.
00:41:34Well, it's nice to see you here.
00:41:36One might believe you're actually a writer.
00:41:39Yeah, little old me out in the real world living dangerously.
00:41:44Why the long face?
00:41:45You having a little trouble with the article?
00:41:51Why don't we go across the street and have ourselves a drink and we can talk about it?
00:41:56Come on, Griff, you know I don't drink.
00:41:58You're a big girl, Elizabeth.
00:42:02And I'm a good listener.
00:42:04Come on.
00:42:07What the hell?
00:42:08She's in the seat next to me, she's at the same hotel, makes sure she runs into me.
00:42:20Just too many coincidences.
00:42:21It's like...
00:42:23She's lying to me about everything.
00:42:25Your subject is becoming 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?
00:42:35I mean, I can't quite explain it, but it's like she wants me to write this article.
00:42:39Like she found me.
00:42:40I gave her a couple days.
00:42:41Do you have any leaves to go on?
00:42:43Maybe.
00:42:44There's this guy.
00:42:45Her lover?
00:42:46Yes.
00:42:48But he doesn't seem to know anything.
00:42:50Griffin, how do you know when your maid is having an affair?
00:42:53I'm sure there are signs, intimate ones, but I wouldn't know about that.
00:42:56Why are you always so hard on me?
00:42:58I mean, ever since I came here, it's like I can do nothing right.
00:43:00Elizabeth, you have the potential to fly, but you're still crawling.
00:43:04And there is another reason why I had to keep my distance.
00:43:06I know of you.
00:43:07It's because you're a professional and I'm nothing but a scandalous freshman.
00:43:12Believe me, I get it.
00:43:14Elizabeth, ever since we first met when I was lecturing at Columbia University, I saw how much alike we are.
00:43:20I've watched you blossom into the world.
00:43:22I've watched you blossom into the world.
00:43:25I've seen you.
00:43:27I've seen you.
00:43:29I've seen you.
00:43:31I've seen you.
00:43:33I've seen you.
00:43:34I'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.
00:43:43You think I'm good?
00:43:45Yes, I do.
00:43:47Why 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.
00:44:01Let me just say, I think we would be a great team. I think we could have an amazing life together.
00:44:12Would you care to discuss this at another time?
00:44:14He gives me flowers, beautiful flowers.
00:44:29When he kisses me, it's electric.
00:44:31He's electric.
00:44:33And did I mention to you that he really knows how to satisfy a woman?
00:44:36They're shameless.
00:44:38Perhaps.
00:44:39But I'm happy.
00:44:41You don't know happiness until you've had a lover like Bob.
00:44:48Hello?
00:44:49Do you like them?
00:44:52Yes.
00:44:54They're very beautiful. Thank you very much.
00:44:56I didn't mean to upset you earlier.
00:45:00It's okay. It's just...
00:45:03Well, 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?
00:45:16Oh, um...
00:45:18How about tomorrow night?
00:45:20That's to my show.
00:45:21Really?
00:45:22Yeah.
00:45:23You could, uh...
00:45:24You could come over.
00:45:26You have the address, right?
00:45:28It's on the card with the flowers.
00:45:30Okay.
00:45:32I'll be there.
00:45:34Okay.
00:45:35Good.
00:45:37Can't wait to see you.
00:45:38Wait a minute, Bob?
00:45:40Yeah.
00:45:41What's the thing?
00:45:44Where were you last Wednesday?
00:45:49Hmm.
00:45:50I was...
00:45:51I was doing my play.
00:45:53Did you see Anne afterwards?
00:45:55No.
00:45:57Uh...
00:45:58Wish I did.
00:45:59Let me see.
00:46:00I came home.
00:46:01I finished this bio I was reading on Olivier.
00:46:04I, uh...
00:46:05Made a pot of coffee, mocha bean.
00:46:08Um...
00:46:09I'm brushing my teeth.
00:46:10Had a pint of great ice cream.
00:46:13All right, I get the picture.
00:46:16Wait.
00:46:18What flavor?
00:46:19Oh, uh...
00:46:20Peanut butter swirls.
00:46:23Mmm.
00:46:24I hope this was pre-toothbrushing.
00:46:27I hope this was pre-toothbrushing.
00:46:41Let's grab a coffee.
00:46:43Can we have a couple of iced coffees please?
00:46:46Good job, man.
00:46:47Here you go.
00:46:51How's the story coming along?
00:46:53Mmm.
00:46:54Good.
00:46:55As a matter of 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 just doing my job.
00:47:09I know.
00:47:10I believe you.
00:47:12Have you heard from the detective in New York about Bob?
00:47:15Not yet.
00:47:18He always delivers.
00:47:20God, I hope so.
00:47:21I'll go for it.
00:47:43Come in.
00:47:44It's open.
00:47:48Hi.
00:47:49Hi.
00:47:51Welcome to my beautiful abode.
00:47:54Wow.
00:47:55It's great.
00:47:56Thanks.
00:47:57Congratulations.
00:47:58I read your reviews.
00:47:59They're really great.
00:48:00Yeah.
00:48:01Yeah.
00:48:02Looks like I'm finally starting to get the recognition I deserve.
00:48:08Kiss or kill.
00:48:11I like that.
00:48:12Me too.
00:48:13Sit down.
00:48:14Make yourself comfortable.
00:48:15Relax.
00:48:16Take your coat off.
00:48:19Thanks.
00:48:21I think we should have a drink.
00:48:22Here's to being absolutely, totally, 100% alive.
00:48:35Alive.
00:48:37Truly alive.
00:48:42I have a feeling you know a lot about that.
00:48:45I do.
00:48:46Oh my God, I can't believe you have that picture.
00:48:47Who?
00:48:48I have the same exact one in my house.
00:48:49Really?
00:48:50I've had that since high school.
00:48:51Me too.
00:48:52No way.
00:48:53When I first saw it, I was truly amazed.
00:48:55You box too?
00:48:56Yes, I do.
00:48:57Yes, I do.
00:48:58So do I.
00:48:59You do?
00:49:00A little bit.
00:49:02Let me get that receipt for you.
00:49:03Okay.
00:49:04Here.
00:49:06Here.
00:49:08Here.
00:49:09Here.
00:49:10Here, here, here.
00:49:15Here, here, here, here.
00:49:18Here, here, here.
00:49:23Here.
00:49:31Here, here.
00:49:35Taste that.
00:49:39I gotta go.
00:49:51Where are you gonna go?
00:50:21Son of a bitch.
00:50:25What the hell?
00:50:29Think you're gonna nail me?
00:50:31No fucking way.
00:50:33No fucking way.
00:50:35No fucking way.
00:50:39No fucking way.
00:50:41What the hell?
00:50:45Think you're gonna nail me?
00:50:47No fucking way.
00:50:49No fucking way.
00:50:51No fucking way.
00:50:57No fucking way.
00:51:01No fucking way.
00:51:03Hey, it's me.
00:51:25You there?
00:51:27Lizzie.
00:51:29I miss you.
00:51:31Baby, where are you?
00:51:33I hope everything's okay.
00:51:35Look, things are going great up here.
00:51:37I want to apologize.
00:51:38I'm sorry.
00:51:39I love you.
00:51:40Call me at the hotel.
00:51:42Where's my story, Elizabeth?
00:51:44Your time's up.
00:51:46What if I can't do this?
00:51:48Yeah, this is Detective James Martin.
00:51:49I've got that information you requested.
00:51:52I'm going to fax through the rap sheet on this guy.
00:51:54He's a seasoned criminal with several felonies on his record.
00:51:57You should be real careful around him.
00:52:03Eric, where are you?
00:52:23Where are you?
00:52:25San Francisco Hilton.
00:52:31Eric Barton, please.
00:52:33He checked out this morning.
00:52:35What do you mean, he checked out?
00:52:36Are you sure?
00:52:37Yes, positive.
00:52:39Okay.
00:52:42He checked out.
00:52:47Where are you when I need you?
00:52:49Where the fuck are you?
00:52:50The fuck is mine!
00:52:56Hi.
00:53:20Hey.
00:53:20Can you help me?
00:53:22Sure.
00:53:23A friend of mine may have purchased something here.
00:53:25Can you make any sense of this?
00:53:27I can make out her first name Jennifer, but that's about it.
00:53:30Last name is too smudged.
00:53:33Well, is there any other source where it might be?
00:53:35Not on a first-time buyer.
00:53:37Nice-looking lady, though.
00:53:39Great legs.
00:53:41Can you tell what she bought?
00:53:44Sunny 8mm video camera with an automatic timer.
00:53:48She wanted that.
00:53:49For the camera?
00:53:50Sure.
00:53:50Security, surveillance, kinky stuff in the bedroom.
00:53:55No, just kidding.
00:53:56She didn't seem the type.
00:53:57He did.
00:53:58He?
00:53:58Yeah, the guy with her.
00:54:00Tall, dark, kind of Italian.
00:54:02Passing himself off as an actor.
00:54:05Great excuse not to work if you ask me.
00:54:08Funny, I just called.
00:54:09His order is ready.
00:54:11What order?
00:54:12Made some dupes for him.
00:54:14Copies of a video.
00:54:14It was a rush order, I guess.
00:54:17Something important.
00:54:19I get it for you, but it's not here.
00:54:21We found it out.
00:54:22He's picking it up directly from the lab downtown.
00:54:30Tell them I sent you.
00:54:34Hey, come back anytime.
00:54:36I'll get you a deal on a video.
00:54:37Honestly, I don't see one decent photograph of the whole bunch.
00:54:49Well, I'll tell you what.
00:54:52Please, just one more day.
00:54:53I'm on to something, I swear.
00:54:55Hold on a second.
00:54:57Elizabeth, I need real proof.
00:54:59I'm getting it.
00:55:02Well, leave it here.
00:55:03I'll give it a read.
00:55:04Meet me across the street at 530 and leave your cell phone number.
00:55:06No, not you.
00:55:09Well, honestly, just the thought of looking at him again makes me nauseous.
00:55:13Forget about it.
00:55:13I'm pulling you off your project.
00:55:36Griff, Elizabeth, I'm on to something.
00:55:54Griff Elizabeth I'm on to something 335 bro I'm gonna be late for our 530 but I'll be there

00:58:17come on
00:58:27come on
00:58:31Oh, my God.
00:59:01Elizabeth, 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.
00:59:18Do you have proof?
00:59:19I'm this close.
00:59:26I'm gone, child.
00:59:27What have you gotten yourself into?
00:59:30Lizzie!
00:59:31Honey, where are you?
00:59:33Lizzie?
00:59:55Is 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 Ann was trying to say on my answer.
01:00:02How do you know he hasn't?
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.
01:00:20Be careful!
01:00:24Come on!
01:00:29valuable!
01:00:33Oh, my God.
01:01:03Okay, thanks.
01:01:11See you later.
01:01:23Bob?
01:01:33The dude.
01:01:35I love him.
01:02:03I love him.
01:02:33I love him.
01:03:03Eric.
01:03:09Eric.
01:03:09Eric.
01:03:13Eric.
01:03:15Oh, my God.
01:03:26Come on, pick up.
01:03:40Pick up.
01:03:42Griff.
01:03:43Elizabeth.
01:03:44Elizabeth.
01:03:45Elizabeth.
01:03:46You're not gonna believe what I've just seen.
01:03:47What's wrong?
01:03:48Are you all right?
01:03:49Elizabeth, what's wrong?
01:03:51Elizabeth.
01:03:52Where are you?
01:03:53Oh, shit.
01:03:54Elizabeth.
01:03:55He's still here.
01:03:56He's here.
01:03:57Who?
01:03:58Pick me up at the market on ocean.
01:04:04Pick me up.
01:04:04Pick me up.
01:04:18Pick me up at the market on ocean.
01:04:20Oh, my God.
01:04:50Are 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?
01:05:13Well, just relax, Elizabeth.
01:05:16I'll take you somewhere where you'll be safe.
01:05:20Are you all right?
01:05:29Where are we going?
01:05:32I'll just have to make a little detour. I hope you don't mind.
01:05:34Where 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 shall 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 at 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.
01:07:06Hating our marriage stemmed from something much more substantial than mere infidelity.
01:07:10She wanted to destroy me.
01:07:11She wanted to destroy all my dreams once she realized that I was no longer in love with her.
01:07:15And she would have taken everything from me.
01:07:19She was as manipulative and cold-blooded as they come.
01:07:23She was pale as a man.
01:07:24But let's not dwell on them orbit.
01:07:26Would you like to have some strawberries?
01:07:31Please.
01:07:34Our life together will be rather extraordinary from now on.
01:07:38Together we will conquer the literary world.
01:07:40For starters, a five-year contract with a magazine starting at a six-figure level car, of your choice, of course.
01:07:48How would you like to have a house in Malibu and a penthouse in New York City and a table of your own at Elaine's?
01:07:55You 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.
01:08:09A husband that started this whole dirty thing.
01:08:12A husband that cheated.
01:08:13A husband that lied.
01:08:15A husband that didn't believe in your dreams, just cared about your paycheck, didn't give a damn about you and your life.
01:08:21Yes, your husband.
01:08:24I've been considering this.
01:08:32Your precious husband.
01:08:38How 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.
01:08:57But I will carry on.
01:09:00What about Bob?
01:09:01Sometimes a man's checkered past catches up with him, which requires a hasty departure, usually to a faraway foreign country.
01:09:09You 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.
01:09:56Thank you for joining us.
01:09:58Please.
01:10:00I'm sure you know the young lady.
01:10:01I'm a staff journalist.
01:10:04Please have said.
01:10:07So you actually made the big time.
01:10:09I'm a staff writer.
01:10:11Oh, yes.
01:10:11Elizabeth is destined for big things indeed.
01:10:17Congratulations, honey.
01:10:18Yes.
01:10:19I was just telling Elizabeth about the apartment.
01:10:22Fascinating 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?
01:10:38Possibly.
01:10:39Possibly.
01:10:40Funny.
01:10:42I thought for sure you and my wife were having an affair.
01:10:47All right.
01:10:50Lizzie, this guy's out of his mind.
01:10:51Let's get out of here.
01:10:53Now, does that help refresh your memory?
01:11:00Some of those long, lingering afternoons at the Miramar Hotel with my wife.
01:11:09Or do you need to sit down and collect your thoughts?
01:11:17Put your pathetic ass in this chair.
01:11:21What 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.
01:11:33Zip it A.
01:11:35Anne's diary.
01:11:36Let me read her from the passages.
01:11:39August 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 knew, I knew, hold on.
01:12:28All right, I had just about enough out of you, you fucking psycho!
01:12:33God!
01:12:34Death!
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!
01:12:56You okay?
01:12:58The gun!
01:12:59Get the gun!
01:12:59Get the gun!
01:13:16Honey?
01:13:18Honey, you okay?
01:13:19Oh, God.
01:13:21Oh, fuck.
01:13:36Is he dead?
01:13:37Is he dead?
01:13:46I'm a writer now.
01:13:55A successful single writer.
01:13:58Eric and I tried to work it out.
01:14:00But it was obvious there was nothing left to work out.
01:14:03Of course, Griff wasn't dead.
01:14:05Two weeks ago, I heard that he'd escaped from the sanitarium.
01:14:09They told me that he said that he lived only for me.
01:14:11And it's funny, because I always envy that.
01:14:14I wish I felt that way about someone.
01:14:16Who knows?
01:14:17Maybe someday I will.
01:14:20Great book.
01:14:30Thanks for coming.
01:14:32And yes, I am writing another one.
01:14:36This is exciting.
01:14:37The turnout is so great.
01:14:39I'm so proud of you, Lizzie.
01:14:41I'll get you some water.
01:14:42Okay.
01:14:42Congratulations, Elizabeth.
01:14:46You've been able to satisfy a lot of people's fantasy.
01:14:51How's that?
01:14:52You shot the boss.
01:14:54Oh.
01:14:55I'd love to take you to dinner.
01:14:57I'm in town for a couple of days.
01:15:00I don't think so.
01:15:02It's pressed towards killing me.
01:15:05But thanks for the offer.
01:15:07Now that is one good-looking man.
01:15:14Why didn't you accept?
01:15:17Lori, I'm not interested in anything casual.
01:15:18And even the most innocent little affair can end in disaster.
01:15:25I suppose you're right.
01:15:27You can't run, but you surely cannot hide.
01:15:39I'm sorry.
01:15:41Are you all right?
01:15:42What happened?
01:15:43Yeah.
01:15:44I'm fine.
01:15:44Can I sign that for you?
01:15:48Yes, please.
01:15:55Here you go.
01:16:06What is destined to be, shall be.
01:16:18We'll be back.
