00:00:00To be continued
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.
00:07:36Good night.
00:07:36I'll call you back in L.A.
00:07:37Okay.
00:07:38Good night.
00:07:38Good night.
00:07:53Good night.
00:07:54So, what you're saying is, a year ago, we would have qualified.
00:08:00I'm afraid with the change in your wife's salary makes it rather impossible.
00:08:05At this time, it's a year ago.
00:08:06I'm afraid with the change in your wife's salary makes it rather impossible at this time.
00:08:17Due to the change in your wife's salary, due 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?
00:08:44You had it made.
00:08:44Never 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.
00:08:52Recruiting 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.
00:09:04He's the best editor in town.
00:09:06That's right.
00:09:07Your mentor.
00:09:08The 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.
00:09:24All right?
00:09:26Come on.
00:09:27What?
00:09:30Why 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, this happens to be a business,
00:09:46not a hobby between getting your hair done and having lunches.
00:09:49Your store is late.
00:09:50Where is it?
00:09:52It'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.
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 and 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, 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.
00:10:50If I don't have an acceptable idea by noon tomorrow,
00:10:55I believe there might be a little trouble in paradise.
00:11:01Elizabeth, in my office.
00:11:10You had a pretty good store going there, but 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 him?
00:11:42I'll call her back in a few minutes.
00:11:44All right.
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 going to have to get tough, Elizabeth.
00:12:02The thing is, I just...
00:12:03Tell 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 and nail your endings,
00:12:15well, then maybe you just don't belong here.
00:12:17Will you please excuse me?
00:12:20I'd like to call my wife.
00:12:31My sauce came all great.
00:12:43Any reaction to the story?
00:12:46No.
00:12:47Actually, 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.
00:13:09Happy now?
00:13:12It's not the end of the world, Lizzie.
00:13:13Maybe not for you.
00:13:18Maybe not for you.
00:13:18Maybe not for her, Lizzie.
00:13:27Randy?
00:13:27Yeah.
00:13:27Maybe not for you.
00:13:29You know what I want?
00:13:29If I had anything to do,
00:13:31I'm trying to keep up my day job today.
00:13:32I'm trying to keep up my day.
00:13:34But I'm coming for you too.
00:13:34There's nothing to wait to see.
00:13:36It's not even in the moment of Hurry up.
00:13:41Hopefully there's a little nuts.
00:13:41hello is this this is an san francisco last week yeah sure how are you good i just called to say
00:13:58hi i see how you're doing i really enjoyed our time together so did i it was fun so how was
00:14:06everything 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 resist
00:14:43but the chemistry's too good it's like some weird kind of fate but of course she's torn with that
00:14:49nagging guilt she's a good girl and good girls don't indulge in affairs she married too soon she didn't
00:14:55sow any wild oats hey i know a lot of women who married number one and they're doing just fine
00:15:00this isn't about right or wrong it's about her reactions to what's going on the drama the deceit
00:15:06the guilt the self-loathing but then there's the raw passion the thrill the whole crushing experience
00:15:12i think that's what the special issue is about sexual discovery this is a woman in transition
00:15:18coming out of her cocoon what's the score anatomy of an affair a first timer the virgin adulteress
00:15:28the virgin adulteress
00:15:44a virgin adulteress
00:15:46that's good very good maybe even excellent
00:15:51catholic girl goes astray but not too far

00:16:02adulteress sexual activity isn't that foreign territory for you you may need a passport

00:16:30great yeah 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

00:18:11on santa monica yes we got a room at the hotel we had lunch sent up with champagne
00:18:19it was absolutely divine he was so sweet and adoring in the sex it was amazingly great god i don't
00:18:27mean to be so blunt but i never had sex like that i just didn't know it existed so it was like you
00:18:33mean there's this you know the sweetest thing he sent a bouquet of roses to the house with a card the
00:18:40next day this is just so strange remember how you were telling me about how you first met bob
00:18:50standing 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 know you're serious yes i think it's time we had that fabulous bottle of wine that we brought
00:19:11here you go either 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 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
00:19:57and that i have a whole lot of experience ahead of me i can do absolutely anything with him do you
00:20:03know how great that is to be like that with someone whenever you want whatever fantasy you want
00:20:08you make it sound so amazing
00:20:10eric makes me feel like a woman that's good like a sexy woman sexy
00:20:26i'm sure whatever that means do you play games
00:20:31well well we used to eric can't be passionate i could go home and dress up and i know it would
00:20:38drive him crazy eric can take me in his arms and make love to me for hours and i know he really
00:20:44appreciates me eric and i are what are you doing
00:20:49what's gotten into you do you like
00:20:56lizzie i don't need that to find you attractive
00:21:01i told you i'm perfectly happy with eric
00:21:11admitted you're curious you don't even have your tape recorder on you're asking me all this stuff
00:21:17now because you want to know not professionally personally i thought this was going to be about
00:21:23sex but it's not it's about disobedience and empowerment to disobey the rules others made us
00:21:30live by and living with what works for us for me but tell me truthfully you don't feel guilty
00:21:38making love to bob you can live with yourself there's no dirty feeling no sense of betrayal
00:21:47it'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 imagine that

00:30:36so that's up anyway so I meet the dude which is what I call him the dude right and he lays out the
00:30:45gig for me which is all I gotta do is I have to initiate an affair with this broad right but he's
00:30:51gonna give me all the particulars that I need to like properly seduce her no shit seriously I mean
00:30:57he's giving me all the accoutrements I'm talking a car upgraded threads everything right so he shows
00:31:02me a picture because that's important I got to see what she looks like right and she looks good I
00:31:05mean she's almost a babe it's like you know I mean she's a little bit today look around thinking
00:31:10this is no problem totally doable nailable thing plus he got you the lead on the play right yeah God I
00:31:16love this city cockroach to budding star in two months what sort of extension are we talking about
00:31:32maybe just a week you're in trouble aren't you no then let's have it look I just need a few days
00:31:40to verify some things that she told me don't try to bullshit me what's the real reason I need to
00:31:47nail my ending that's all you had to say Elizabeth I'll give you one week because I respect your
00:31:55honesty Elizabeth which one of these would you go with
00:32:10who's he that's our choice so 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
00:32:32especially if you're not famous what's uh what's on your mind well I was interviewing
00:32:40Ann for this story I'm doing and now she's disappeared off the face of the earth
00:32:43what does that have to do with me I mean because if you think I can hook you up with her you're you
00:32:50know you're wrong anything personal would really help no I see Ann was she was real good at keeping
00:32:55her life extra private so are you saying that you're having a relationship with a woman and
00:33:02you don't know the first thing about her how's that possible no I'm not saying that at all I
00:33:06know plenty I know all kinds of things I know like uh what her favorite foreplay is I know how she
00:33:15trembles just before she comes see I know lots of things about her pretty private stuff just not
00:33:20stuff that's right for you or for your little interview how about her husband did you ever
00:33:23mention him maybe where he works what he does for a living no wouldn't have a clue I'm sure she
00:33:29told you really it was no strings attached maybe she just you know had her fill and thought enough's
00:33:33enough the last time I spoke to her she told me that she was falling in love with you
00:33:40she sounded very excited it's bullshit okay she was in love with her husband not me she had great
00:33:50sex with me it wasn't love I think she knows the difference well she's wrong she didn't sound
00:33:58wrong and could sound a lot of ways okay she was very practiced in the art of deception I have a
00:34:05feeling you're not bad at it yourself only when I'm paid to be I'm an A that's nice thank you she made
00:34:20quite a point of a Catholic boarding school that she went to graduated at the top of her class what's so
00:34:25funny a Catholic boarding school on top of her class come on no no no no and didn't finish high
00:34:32school are you sure I'm positive
00:34:55you
00:35:06you
00:35:10you
00:35:14you
00:35:15you
00:35:18you
00:35:20Oh, my God.
00:35:50Oh, my God.
00:36:20Oh, my God, 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.
00:37:03It's ridiculous.
00:37:07Is it?
00:37:09You're not looking for Ann.
00:37:10You're trying to find yourself.
00:37:12Look, you don't know anything about me.
00:37:14Indulge 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.
00:37:46To be truly alive.
00:37:47Alive.
00:37:47Isn'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.
00:37:56I get you.
00:37:58And he doesn't.
00:38:00Does he?
00:38:01Your husband and me.
00:38:04Of course he doesn't.
00:38:05Because he is not like us.
00:38:08He's not an artist.
00:38:11Sometimes I get so scared.
00:38:14I know you do.
00:38:14But it's calling you.
00:38:17And you've got to follow your heart.
00:38:20Because you don't want to live with regrets, do you?
00:38:25Hmm?
00:38:29No.
00:38:37Hello?
00:38:38Me, I got the Bigelow account.
00:38:39It'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.
00:38:44I love you.
00:38:45I love you.
00:39:03Are you ready?
00:39:08Any time, daughter?
00:39:13Yeah.
00:39:15While all.
00:39:20Are you ready?
00:39:21she sounded really scared like something awful was about to happen elizabeth stop obsessing
00:39:32about this just drop the story i can handle it you know i don't get you anymore this sounds
00:39:38dangerous time to back off i can't back off i have to do this i know you probably wouldn't
00:39:44understand try me life is not about being safe it's not about pretending it's about seeing things
00:39:50for what they really are like not pretending you're not having problems with our marriage
00:39:54and i didn't find a book in the closet from another woman obviously a relationship you feel that you
00:39:59have to hide from me why can't you let go of the past why can't you you know i can't get into this
00:40:07right now i gotta go you always gotta go i'm not backing off eric
00:40:12man you are good if i were griff i would not want to mess with you
00:40:22i think i feel better yeah

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.
00:51:59Eric, where are you?
00:52:23San Francisco Hilton.
00:52:31Eric Barton, please.
00:52:33He checked out this morning.
00:52:34What do you mean, he checked out?
00:52:36Are you sure?
00:52:37Yes, positive.
00:52:39Okay.
00:52:41Where are you when I need you?
00:52:49Where the fuck are you?
00:52:54Fucking lie!
00:53:11Hi.
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 a false name, Jennifer.
00:53:29But 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 the first-time buyer.
00:53:37Nice-looking lady, though.
00:53:39Great legs.
00:53:41Can you tell what she bought?
00:53:44Sonny 8-millimeter 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.
00:54:13Copies of a video.
00:54:15It 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.
00:54:24Tell them I sent you.
00:54:34Hey, come back anytime.
00:54:35I'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.
00:54:50Please, 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.
00:54:59Well, leave it here.
00:55:03I'll give it a read.
00:55:04Meet me across the street at 5.30 and leave your cell phone number.
00:55:07No, 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 the project.
00:55:43Griff, Elizabeth, I'm on to something.
00:56:063.35, bro.
00:56:08I'm going to be late for our 5.30, but I'll be there.
00:56:13I've got to have the guts to know your ending, Beth.
00:56:18Okay.
00:56:43She was an absolute pleasure.
00:57:03I 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.
00:57:21We 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!
00:57:51what's it going to be?

00:58:20Luke!
00:58:20Luke!
00:58:21Look out!
00:58:30Mom?
00:58:51Elizabeth, 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.
00:59:21I'm gone, child.
00:59:27What have you gotten yourself into?
00:59:30Lizzie?
00:59:32Honey, where are you?
00:59:33Lizzie?
00:59:33Is he at the theater yet?
00:59:44He'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 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.
01:00:17And if he shows up here, just make sure he doesn't leave.
01:00:23Be careful.
01:00:24Be careful.
01:00:24Be careful.
01:00:54Okay, thanks.
01:01:11See you later.
01:01:12Bob?
01:01:23Bob?
01:01:33Dude.
01:01:35I must...
01:01:36Oh, my God.
01:02:06Oh, my God.
01:02:36Oh, my God.
01:03:06Eric.
01:03:36Oh, my God.
01:03:38Oh, come on. Pick up. Pick up.
01:03:41Griff.
01:03:43Elizabeth.
01:03:44You're not gonna believe what I've just seen.
01:03:46What's wrong? Are you all right?
01:03:48Elizabeth, what's wrong?
01:03:50Elizabeth.
01:03:52Where are you?
01:03:53Oh, shit.
01:03:54Elizabeth.
01:03:55He's still here.
01:03:56He's here.
01:03:57Pick me up at the market on Ocean.
01:03:59Please hurry.
01:04:01John!
01:04:02No!
01:04:03Good-person.
01:04:04Come on.
01:04:05This is a difficult situation.
01:04:06Anybody who wants to attack you?
01:04:07Why kolely?
01:04:08Hot dog?
01:04:09Hi.
01:04:10Actually, this is not the Muchas Pine Burgundy.
01:04:11I might want you to enter the deputy.
01:04:12expedité.
01:04:13Oh, my God.
01:04:43You'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 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?
01:05:31I'll just have to make a little detail. I hope you don't mind.
01:05:34Well, 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 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, nor 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.
01:07:06The hate in 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.
01:07:16And she would have taken everything from me.
01:07:18She was as manipulative 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 starting at a 650 level.
01:07:46Car, 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?
01:07:54You 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.
01:08:02Have you forgotten that I have a husband?
01:08:08Oh, yes.
01:08:09A husband that started this whole dirty thing.
01:08:12The husband that cheated.
01:08:13The 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.
01:08:52Probably will not be returning.
01:08:55That, of course, would devastate me.
01:08:56But I will carry on.
01:09:00What about Bob?
01:09:02Sometimes 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.
01:09:24The 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.
01:09:50I 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 on the staff journalist.
01:10:04Please have said.
01:10:05So you actually made the big time, aren't you, Miss 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.
01:10:25I mean, I thought this place was Anne's.
01:10:28So did Anne.
01:10:29Little did she know, she was subletting 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, I thought for sure you and my wife were having an affair.
01:10:46All right.
01:10:49Lizzie, this guy's out of his mind.
01:10:51Let's get out of here.
01:10:54Now, does that help refresh your memory?
01:11:03Remember those long, lingering afternoons at the Miramar Hotel with my wife?
01:11:09Or do you need to sit down and collect your thoughts?
01:11:12Yes.
01:11:12Yes.
01:11:16Put 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.
01:11:33Exhibit A, Anne's diary.
01:11:37Let me read a few passages.
01:11:39August 19th, just several months ago,
01:11:42Eric 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!
01:12:54Oh!
01:12:55Ah!
01:12:56You okay?
01:12:57Yeah.
01:12:58The gun!
01:12:59Get the gun!
01:12:59Get the gun!
01:12:59Get the gun!
01:13:07Oh!
01:13:08Oh!
01:13:10Oh!
01:13:13Oh!
01:13:13Oh!
01:13:13Oh!
01:13:13Oh!
01:13:14Oh!
01:13:14Oh!
01:13:15Oh!
01:13:15Oh!
01:13:16Oh!
01:13:16Oh!
01:13:16Oh!
01:13:16Oh!
01:13:17Honey?
01:13:17Honey, honey, you okay?
01:13:19Oh, God.
01:13:21Oh, fuck.
01:13:22Oh, fuck.
01:13:36Is he dead?
01:13:37I'm a writer now, a successful single writer, Eric and I tried to work it out, but it was
01:14:00obvious there was nothing left to work out.
01:14:02Of course, Griff wasn't dead.
01:14:03Of course, Griff wasn't dead.
01:14:04Two weeks ago, I heard that he'd escaped from the sanitarium.
01:14:08They told me that he said that he lived only for me.
01:14:11And it's funny, and it's funny, and it's funny, and it's funny because I always envy that.
01:14:12And it's funny because I always envy that.
01:14:13I 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.
01:14:34This 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.
01:14:50How's that?
01:14:52You shot the boss.
01:14:54Oh.
01:14:56I'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.
01:15:06Thanks 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.
01:15:20And even the most innocent little affair can end in disaster.
01:15:25I suppose you're right.
01:15:32You can run, but you surely cannot hide.
01:15:37I'm sorry.
01:15:41Are you all right?
01:15:42What happened?
01:15:43Yeah, I'm fine.
01:15:46Can I sign that for you?
01:15:48Yes, please.
01:15:56Jacob.
01:15:56What is destined to be, shall be.
01:16:26What is destined to be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be, shall be
