00:00:00I didn't choose to be this way.
00:00:28Alone are always seeking the story unfold around me, fixating on the details, creating
00:00:35a what happened, a who-does-what circumstance.
00:00:41It is who I am, always been and always will be a writer.
00:00:58It is who I am, always been and always will be a writer.
00:01:14It is who I am, always been and always will be a writer.
00:01:34It is who I am, always been and always will be a writer.
00:01:48It is who I am, always been and always will be a writer.
00:01:54It is who I am, always been and always will be a writer.
00:02:14Take a left.
00:02:18It is who I am, always will be a writer.
00:02:29It is who I am, always is.
00:02:36It is who I am.
00:02:42They're not going to find him.
00:02:52I'm sure I can.
00:03:12Good morning.
00:03:39Is this for me?
00:03:42It should be good.
00:03:49It's certainly unconventional.
00:03:51Look, I'm almost there.
00:03:53I'm just working out the final details.
00:03:56Just tell him I'll need a week.
00:03:57I'm just working out the final details.
00:04:10I'm just working out the final details.
00:04:23I'm just working out the final details.
00:04:27I'm just working out the final details.
00:04:42Hey.
00:04:43Is everything okay?
00:04:48Yeah.
00:04:49Everything's status quo.
00:04:54Well, it sounded like you were having a bit of an issue during that phone call.
00:05:01You look beautiful.
00:05:08You don't look bad yourself.
00:05:12I love you.
00:05:13Come on.
00:05:14Let's get out of here.
00:05:19Come on.
00:05:20Let's get out of here.
00:05:26What a day.
00:05:37I hope you don't mind, honey.
00:05:56I invited her.
00:05:57Happy f***ing anniversary, Isabel.
00:06:11Let's get out of there.
00:06:30Blake, I don't think we've formally met.
00:06:49You are his wizard.
00:06:57We have met before at the cafe.
00:07:00I served you and your husband.
00:07:07Are you sure you want me here?
00:07:08Is this some kind of joke?
00:07:11Cecile, why don't you join us for our anniversary?
00:07:15Yes, Cecile.
00:07:17Please do.
00:07:30The sun is going to keep getting hotter, so when you put your suit on, you should cover up.
00:07:45You know, it's true what George says about you.
00:07:52You're the most beautiful girl I've seen with him.
00:08:00Ever since I saw you at the cafe, I've been absolutely mesmerized by you.
00:08:05It's an illusion, my dear.
00:08:10He tends to like them in their prime.
00:08:13Usually not as sweet as you, though.
00:08:16They?
00:08:17Well, of course.
00:08:18You didn't think that you were his only, did you?
00:08:25George seems like the kind of man that can handle more than one woman.
00:08:28If that's what suits him, then who am I to judge what he does in his spare time?
00:08:33He'd be perfect if not for his needs.
00:08:37Do you enjoy sleeping with him?
00:08:41I do prefer older men.
00:08:46After ten years of marriage, you tend to get a sense of what your man likes.
00:09:03If this trip goes according to my plan, then maybe I'll like you too.
00:09:10I think you already do.
00:09:16George, is it too soon?
00:09:19Too soon for what?
00:09:23My wife likes to drink.
00:09:28I know that phrase like the back of my hand.
00:09:31Well, George, in honor of our young guest, let's grab the champagne.
00:09:37Oh, don't worry about it, darling.
00:09:40When you're out here, time doesn't exist.
00:09:42You can do anything.
00:09:44Be anyone you want.
00:09:46Because without time, then it never really happened.
00:09:54Are you gonna let him go?
00:09:56Nope.
00:09:58Clear as day.
00:09:59Gotta get more information from each of them.
00:10:01Certainly not until we run some tests.
00:10:05Right.
00:10:06The saw.
00:10:08Not only that, look at him.
00:10:10Our young addict just got his blood drawn this morning.
00:10:14Oh, the kid already admitted to that.
00:10:17Just being thorough.
00:10:18I wonder which one did it.
00:10:23Which one?
00:10:31I'm old school.
00:10:32This is Detective Kenny Park.
00:10:35K-E-N-N-Y-P-A-R-K.
00:10:38Badge number 817-A-334.
00:10:42On November 17th, 2015, I am interviewing Isabelle Boulanger.
00:10:46Why don't you just tell me what happened?
00:10:47I'm just his casual weekend friend.
00:10:51The kind that usually has consequences if you're not discreet.
00:10:54But you're concerned about being out on the ocean with a jealous wife?
00:11:00I've been in worse situations.
00:11:05Do you think George and Isabelle, maybe even Blake, have done this sort of thing before?
00:11:15Like it's a game to them?
00:11:20I don't really think about it, Detective Park.
00:11:25People come and go.
00:11:27I'm not invested.
00:11:34These two.
00:11:36They seem awfully in sync.
00:11:39Their mannerisms, their tone, the creepishly similar looks.
00:11:43Come on.
00:11:47Cecile and Isabelle.
00:11:48Isabelle's honest.
00:11:50Something trustworthy about her.
00:11:54And this guy, he has this gorgeous wife.
00:11:57And what, this s**t on the side, or whatever the s**t they've been saying?
00:12:02Well, let's call this for what it is.
00:12:03Some kinky, eyes wide shut sort of thing.
00:12:07And a fight between some jealous b**** who may or may not be a closeted lesbian.
00:12:12Now she, or someone, or all of them, and knock this s**t up.
00:12:18Hmm?
00:12:19He falls over the side of the boat and the rest is history.
00:12:21Now you want my personal opinion?
00:12:24They're all covering for this as a trio.
00:12:29Where did you go, George?
00:12:33What happened?
00:12:36Talk to me.
00:12:37They killed him, Park.
00:12:41And what we have here is a story of betrayal, adultery, mind f**king games, f**king money.
00:12:56Is it really though?
00:12:58I mean, on the surface, yeah.
00:13:01It is.
00:13:05There's always more.
00:13:10Why have Blake and Cecile there? What's the point?
00:13:27So I guess you're used to being alone.
00:13:31Are you lonely, Cecile?
00:13:34I may be young, but...
00:13:38I've already learnt that life is lonely, detective.
00:13:46Are you happy now, George?
00:13:52When are you going to sleep with her, George?
00:13:58Relax, Isabel.
00:14:00It's not always about you and what you think people ought to do.
00:14:04I get it.
00:14:06Stop telling me to relax, George.
00:14:10Show me a goddamn emotion.
00:14:12You know, something. Anything.
00:14:14Sometimes you are just so f**king detached.
00:14:19Honey, I have a book to write, and you know what that entails.
00:14:22This wasn't supposed to be a weekend for your writing.
00:14:24This is our ten year anniversary. This is about us.
00:14:28And apparently Cecile.
00:14:32Okay, look. I get it. I'm sorry.
00:14:35Just remember these ideas pay for our lifestyle.
00:14:41You just want control.
00:14:43And for us to be grateful for the things that you give us.
00:14:47But everything comes attached to an expectation.
00:14:49Honey.
00:14:51Do you like having everyone need you? Is that it?
00:14:54Why don't you go take a seat upstairs?
00:14:58Okay?
00:15:00I get it. I'll stop.
00:15:01I'll stop.
00:15:17What's that?
00:15:19It's a fisherman's buoy.
00:15:21Helps the fisherman mark where their nets are.
00:15:24But, uh...
00:15:26It's also so that I don't hate them.
00:15:31Are they always like this?
00:15:34Not usually.
00:15:36I think it might be, uh...
00:15:39Me?
00:15:41I get it.
00:15:42I don't know.
00:15:44I don't know.
00:15:46So, he's writing a book then?
00:15:49He always has a book to write.
00:15:53I didn't know he was a writer.
00:15:55Have you read any of his books?
00:15:57Are they any good?
00:15:59Well, I'm always in them.
00:16:02One form or another.
00:16:04George likes to put people in situations.
00:16:07And then see how things play out.
00:16:10I guess four people on a sailboat first to go.
00:16:24Speak of the devil.
00:16:30It's Hemingway.
00:16:32I'll read it as soon as I get to the beach.
00:16:35Seagulls.
00:16:49Seagull in the water.
00:16:51Yes, it's going to be his best one yet.
00:16:54Isn't it, George?
00:16:56Now, who needs a drink like I do?
00:16:58Here, I have a glass.
00:17:15Scavengers.
00:17:17They take things.
00:17:21They wait, and when the moment strikes,
00:17:23they fight for whatever's available to them.
00:17:24If you'd have told me I'd be sipping champagne on a sailboat across the Pacific Riviera, with a beautiful woman, I would have thought I'd died and gone to heaven.
00:17:45We have a lot to talk about.
00:17:47So, George is an author?
00:17:49When I met him, I was drawn to his strength, his unpredictability.
00:17:51He's the kind of man that can own you with a look.
00:17:52Control.
00:17:53Manipulation.
00:17:54Manipulation.
00:17:55And this is attractive to you, yes?
00:17:56The man that plays a character.
00:17:57Manipulation.
00:17:58And this is attractive to you, yes?
00:17:59The man that plays with each of you.
00:18:00Like you're a pawn in his mental game of chess.
00:18:01And this is attractive to you, yes?
00:18:02The man that plays with each of you.
00:18:03Like you're a pawn in his mental game of chess.
00:18:04Like you're a pawn in his mental game of chess.
00:18:05I like games.
00:18:06And this is attractive to you, yes?
00:18:07The man that plays with each of you.
00:18:08Like you're a pawn in his mental game of chess.
00:18:09I like games.
00:18:10I like games.
00:18:11I like games.
00:18:12I like games.
00:18:13I like games.
00:18:14I like games.
00:18:15I like games.
00:18:34I like playing them and I like being in them.
00:18:41Do you like role playing, detective?
00:18:47I'm married, ma'am.
00:18:53I like to avoid games.
00:18:56The spirit of choice.
00:19:02What people do and why they do it.
00:19:06If, in fact, they had to make a decision in the moment.
00:19:10If motivated, would they react?
00:19:13Or would they hesitate?
00:19:16Is this yours?
00:19:27I was wearing it.
00:19:28Isabel asked me too.
00:19:30To cover you up.
00:19:36Or to dress me up like a doll.
00:19:41It's just George's blood.
00:19:42It's just George's blood.
00:20:12You're the sober one on this boat trip.
00:20:18Nineteen months.
00:20:23Just curious.
00:20:24How does one get heroin on a boat?
00:20:30By bringing it.
00:20:31To each his own.
00:20:43I screwed up.
00:20:48Have some coffee.
00:20:49You honestly believe, after coming down from heroin, that I'd want a cup of coffee.
00:21:04I'm caught.
00:21:09Blake, what happened out there?
00:21:15As you get older, you come to realize that meaning is what gets you out of bed in the morning.
00:21:21To catch a fish.
00:21:23Not just a fish.
00:21:25The biggest fish.
00:21:26And that was the old man's purpose.
00:21:31What happens when you catch that fish?
00:21:35I don't know.
00:21:37See, Blake, that's the point.
00:21:40Life's not black and white.
00:21:41If it was, we'd have no purpose.
00:21:43We need uncertainty.
00:21:45We need something to, to need.
00:21:47To possess.
00:21:49To give reason to all this, this beauty, this nothingness that surrounds you and I.
00:21:58Context.
00:22:00Right.
00:22:03Once the fisherman gets it, the shark comes along and devours the old man's catch.
00:22:09The universe correcting itself.
00:22:12The old man's purpose.
00:22:14Spend your whole life learning to accept the lack of control.
00:22:18Irony.
00:22:23The basis by which all art exists.
00:22:32Some **** that was.
00:22:36Blake.
00:22:39I need to understand the day.
00:22:42Why George has disappeared.
00:22:44Not his philosophy, nor his little parenting anecdotes.
00:22:49In order to give you a goddamn understanding.
00:22:54You have to know the background of how it all happened.
00:23:12Sorry.
00:23:14Please.
00:23:16Proceed.
00:23:17Anything involving George cannot be easily explained.
00:23:22He's unpredictable.
00:23:24Unreasonable.
00:23:27Yet completely logical.
00:23:29Without any emotion.
00:23:33Like a genius.
00:23:37Or a sociopath.
00:23:38Let me paint you a Rembrandt.
00:23:48Time spent with George is like time spent with a master.
00:23:54On one side, you feel for the guy.
00:23:56On the other hand.
00:23:57Is it some brilliantly woven manipulation of your emotions?
00:24:07Is the compass?
00:24:09It is.
00:24:11It's quite nice.
00:24:12Is it?
00:24:13It's broken.
00:24:15I can see that.
00:24:19What about George are you protecting?
00:24:21Why do you think I'm protecting George?
00:24:22Why do you think I'm protecting George?
00:24:23Because you just said he was your master.
00:24:25You misinterpreted.
00:24:26He isn't my master.
00:24:27Nobody is.
00:24:28I needed a place to live and George took me in.
00:24:32He gives me what I need.
00:24:33And I give him what he needs.
00:24:34Simple as that.
00:24:36He's my friend.
00:24:38But I'm not protecting anybody but myself, detective.
00:24:42I'm not protecting anybody but myself, detective.
00:24:44I'm not protecting anybody but myself, detective.
00:24:46If he's gone, do you get his boat?
00:24:48You think that I would help Isabelle off her husband and then get to keep his boat.
00:24:51Is that a marion?
00:24:52Maybe he is the only place to live and George took me in.
00:24:54He's my friend.
00:24:55I'm not protecting anybody but myself, detective.
00:24:59If he's gone, do you get his boat?
00:25:02You think that I would help Isabelle off her husband and then get to keep his boat?
00:25:07I am not protecting anybody but myself, detective.
00:25:12off her husband and then get to keep his boat what's my end game if I was enough to do something
00:25:20like that only someone who truly hated being controlled could find that kind of motivation
00:25:27maybe it was you
00:25:30maybe it was Isabel
00:25:33maybe it was you and Isabel
00:25:38I'm my own master I had nothing to gain
00:25:44each day I wake up and I try to survive
00:25:48George gave me more than enough and I would never take from him
00:25:53at least not without his giving
00:25:55I know you're an addict I know you relapsed
00:25:59and I'm sorry but I have got two women in the other room
00:26:04and a man who's disappeared
00:26:06so you have got to get me something to work
00:26:12with here
00:26:12you want something to work with
00:26:17I didn't do
00:26:21the heroin that's in my system
00:26:23I don't know how it got there
00:26:31I went to bed sober
00:26:33and I woke up like this
00:26:35it was definitely mine
00:26:37but it was around my neck when I went to bed
00:26:41how's that for something
00:26:46you know what I love about this compass
00:26:49it's perfect to its design
00:26:53there was a problem and a man came up with an idea to solve that problem and this is it
00:26:59now it can be a paperweight or a door stop
00:27:04but that's not what it's meant to be
00:27:06it's not what it's designed to be
00:27:08what it does best
00:27:10you show us the way
00:27:14that's simple
00:27:16but it has value
00:27:36what are you boys doing downstairs for so long?
00:27:38organizing the cabin and packing for the beach
00:27:41I show Blake what you got me for our second anniversary
00:27:45I bought this for George when we went to Morocco
00:27:53I sat in a flea market for three hours while he tried to talk the price down
00:27:57practically stole it from that poor little man
00:28:00he was a third generation fisherman
00:28:02got it off his grandfather's boat
00:28:04hated boat sores
00:28:07practically doing him a favor
00:28:09right
00:28:15don't worry
00:28:17she likes to do this to me
00:28:19she likes to see me beg
00:28:21that's how I'm really gonna do it George
00:28:24it's not worth it Isabel
00:28:29oh
00:28:34but it's so much fun though
00:28:36hey guys
00:28:38three arch bay is coming right past that cove
00:28:40we should anchor soon
00:28:52this wasn't the first time we'd gone to three arch bay
00:28:56we've become very familiar with the area
00:29:03and we knew which times to enjoy the beach privately
00:29:05with no other boats
00:29:09took the smaller boat to shore
00:29:13and had a perfect day
00:29:27the thing about three arch bay
00:29:29is it secluded
00:29:30you can climb the rocks
00:29:35scale the hill
00:29:37traverse the underwater coral
00:29:41it's the type of place you'd expect a couple like George and Isabel to go to
00:29:47it's heaven on earth
00:29:50it's heaven on earth
00:29:54George and I walked along the beach
00:29:56talked about life
00:29:58art
00:30:00and the idea of finding peace
00:30:02which was something that we talked about often
00:30:04Cecil and Isabel were laying on the beach
00:30:11continuing to drink champagne
00:30:13while bathing under the sun
00:30:21everybody was getting alone
00:30:23along
00:31:53This place, how can you stand it?
00:32:01It's just so beautiful.
00:32:02I'm used to living out the suitcase, ever since I was a kid, all alone.
00:32:12Along the way, I got comfortable, wondering, knowing that it was just me, just me, alone.
00:32:29When I was your age, I left home.
00:32:40Abusive father, an emotionally unavailable mother.
00:32:44You know why, old nature, I just had to explore.
00:32:49That's how I met George.
00:32:52At first, he scared me.
00:32:56He was the first man I couldn't resist.
00:32:58I knew I was going to marry him.
00:33:03I needed something to ground me.
00:33:06Someone who made me feel safe.
00:33:09Someone who made me feel less alone.
00:33:12But now I've come to learn.
00:33:15Sometimes it's better not to feel safe.
00:33:17Leave him.
00:33:27Look.
00:33:31It's something I took from my mother before I left home.
00:33:34This isn't right.
00:33:43This isn't right.
00:33:43You...
00:33:44You don't know me.
00:33:47The day before I left home, I was on a train.
00:33:52I looked out the window.
00:33:56There were sunflower fields.
00:33:58As far as the eye could see.
00:34:00Come on.
00:34:06Let's go play in the water.
00:34:18I swear I can do it five times.
00:34:22Like this.
00:34:25It doesn't work for me like that.
00:34:28Can you hear that?
00:34:30What?
00:34:31Seriously.
00:34:31You can't hear that.
00:34:32What is it?
00:34:33It's a whole orchestra of violins playing just for you.
00:34:37There you go.
00:34:38That's real funny, George.
00:34:39No, I'm serious.
00:34:39Hey, guys.
00:34:40Guys, come back.
00:34:41He wants you to play for him.
00:34:42Seriously.
00:34:43He does.
00:34:43George.
00:34:44Come back.
00:34:44What?
00:34:44The joke is already getting old.
00:34:46I don't need anybody simply.
00:34:54The girls look like they're having a good time.
00:35:00You ever build a sandcastle, Blake?
00:35:11Of course.
00:35:13I mean a sandcastle with a moat and a labyrinth of tunnels and a maze to protect your queen.
00:35:25I'd have to find a queen first.
00:35:26Those two.
00:35:30They're dangerous.
00:35:33Why would you say that?
00:35:36When I was seven years old, I saw the most beautiful girl I'd ever come across.
00:35:42So, uh, naturally I ran to the store and I got her a $12 diamond necklace, wrote the most
00:35:51professing poem, and it pulled down two flowers from my mother's garden.
00:35:57So when I saw her next, I gave her all those things, the gift, the poem, and the flower.
00:36:05What happened?
00:36:06They tore the poem to pieces.
00:36:11They ripped the necklace apart.
00:36:14And the flowers, well, they, uh, they were already dead by the time I got them to her.
00:36:23Things don't get better, Blake.
00:36:26They just get bigger.
00:36:32I bet I could do it six times.
00:36:34Hold on.
00:36:36I bet I could do it seven years old, so I got there.

00:40:55I'm sure anyone who spends days at sea can look at the Sun and know the time
00:41:04So George would often leave mid-afternoon
00:41:07This wasn't our first trip one gets quite familiar with patterns
00:41:13What happened next?
00:41:15Cecile and I went for a hike to sober up
00:41:20And Blake he stayed at the beach to read the book George gave him
00:41:25With George leaving so often were you ever concerned about him
00:41:32Just one day disappearing
00:41:37If we do find him
00:41:41Would you be disappointed if he were dead?
00:41:49Do you still love your husband Isabel?
00:41:55Do you want any help?
00:41:55Do you want any help?
00:41:56Do you want any help?
00:41:58Do you want any help?
00:41:59Do you want any help or do you want any help?
00:42:02Let me tell you a story detective
00:42:05Let me tell you a story, detective.
00:42:24Every morning a man wakes up.
00:42:27He makes a bowl of oatmeal for his wife.
00:42:30He cuts up a banana and puts it on top.
00:42:33And he puts it on her bedside table.
00:42:38She wakes up.
00:42:41She finds a gesture kind and loving.
00:42:45But after a month, she starts to hate it.
00:42:49She feels obligated.
00:42:51The thing is, she hates bananas.
00:42:56So one evening, she tells her husband,
00:42:58When you make my breakfast in the morning, could you add strawberries?
00:43:04And he smiles and goes to bed.
00:43:07She wakes up.
00:43:09Looks at her bedside table.
00:43:12There's a bowl of freshly made oatmeal.
00:43:14And what do you think is on top?
00:43:21Bananas.
00:43:24So you asked me if I love my husband, and the answer is yes and no.
00:43:30Because he thinks he gives me what I need, but I asked for f***ing strawberries.
00:43:34Now, women are complicated.
00:43:42We like being loved.
00:43:44We need to be touched.
00:43:48But sometimes we need something more.
00:43:52We need to be heard.
00:43:55And we need to laugh.
00:43:56George is a beautiful man.
00:44:04And he has great intentions for the most part.
00:44:09He's very broken.
00:44:11Of course I would be devastated.
00:44:16I need it.
00:44:46You okay?
00:44:49She wants full custody.
00:44:54Well, that seems pretty harsh.
00:44:58Nah, I work too much.
00:45:01And the alcohol?
00:45:05Nah, I haven't had a job in four weeks.
00:45:09That's a good start.
00:45:14What do you think about that kid?
00:45:19Well, the addict.
00:45:21I think he's broken.
00:45:24Looks broken, agree.
00:45:27But does that make a young man guilty of murder?
00:45:31Maybe he snapped.
00:45:34The question is why?
00:45:37What about the English girl?
00:45:40You know, something about her in her eyes.
00:45:42Something mysterious.
00:45:43You know, like she almost seemed like she was too innocent.
00:45:46She was a young girl trying to find her way.
00:45:48Wrong place, wrong time, wrong company.
00:45:52On the flip side, what about George?
00:45:54I mean, what if he's the one in charge and control?
00:45:58It was his beau.
00:45:59He separated himself.
00:46:02Four people alone.
00:46:06A jealous wife.
00:46:09A man who presumably wants what his mentor has.
00:46:14A young English courtesan in George.
00:46:21I love it.
00:46:23I love these people.
00:46:27Sir?
00:46:28There's a man here.
00:46:29He's a fisherman.
00:46:30He needs to speak with you.
00:46:32They found something in the ocean they think you should see.
00:46:34Anyone hungry?
00:46:35Yeah.
00:46:36I'll get everything ready.
00:46:59I'll help.
00:47:00You guys run along.
00:47:01I'll help George set the table.
00:47:02You need some water.
00:47:03You're drunk.
00:47:04, George.
00:47:07.
00:47:12No.
00:47:13No.
00:47:14Hi.
00:47:15You.
00:47:16You need some water.
00:47:17You're drunk.
00:47:19, George.
00:47:34I love you.
00:48:04Just eating my salad is amazing, Blake.
00:48:08Yeah. You've come a long way from burning those steaks, that's for sure.
00:48:12That was one time.
00:48:19So, how often do you go sailing?
00:48:22Oh. Well...
00:48:26What is it, honey?
00:48:28Whenever you have to get some riding done, we spend the weekend at sea?
00:48:34Don't let her fool you. We got the boat so we could get away.
00:48:38I promised Isabel I'd buy her a home in the middle of nowhere, but...
00:48:42for now, this'll have to do.
00:48:44So this just happens to be one of the weekends when you're working?
00:48:50Honey, it's not the time nor the place, okay?
00:48:53Oh, when is it ever the time or the place to call you out in your megalomania, George?
00:48:57Enough, Isabel.
00:48:59F*** you. I hate this boat. And I'm sick of all your unfulfilled promises.
00:49:04I said that's enough!
00:49:08Yes, master.
00:49:10May I remind you I didn't force that f***ing ring on your finger, okay?
00:49:14You gladly accepted it because you had no other choices.
00:49:19You know, in fact, none of you would have s*** without me.
00:49:24So if ever any of you express anything other than gratitude, I'll f***ing throw you overboard.
00:49:30Do you understand me?
00:49:32All of you want freedom, yet here you are resenting me as if I'm taking it from you.
00:49:40Is this not freedom enough, huh?
00:49:45Huh?
00:49:52Sorry, excuse me.
00:50:09To be continued...
00:50:11... His name is Chase.
00:50:16Let's go for the second link to the next one.
00:50:18Here we go.
00:50:19We're ready.
00:50:20To go for the next one, look at the second link.
00:50:30You're ready, guys.
00:50:32Just go for it.
00:50:34You'll catch me for the next one.
00:50:36You're the fisherman?
00:50:52I'm the captain.
00:50:54Captain.
00:50:56I'm Detective Park.
00:50:57What do you have for me?
00:50:59Lost and found wanted this, but I insisted a detective look at it.
00:51:06Have a seat, Captain.
00:51:29So what brings you here?
00:51:31You're on the boat.
00:51:33No, Sally.
00:51:36America, California, Acuna Beach, George and Isabel, and yes, the boat.
00:51:48What brings you here, Blake?
00:51:52I'm just trying to find my way.
00:51:57Pick up a thing or two from the Boulangeres.
00:51:59They have the type of life that I see in magazines.
00:52:06Do they?
00:52:12At least on the surface.
00:52:16That's why I like you.
00:52:19Underneath all the layers of crap.
00:52:21You're pure.
00:52:27That's going to be the nicest insult I've ever gotten.
00:52:31Mm-hmm.
00:52:35You never answered my question.
00:52:36I love the black sky.
00:52:47It's a little white dots.
00:52:50It's massive.
00:52:52They're so insignificant.
00:52:54We have no idea what's really out there.
00:53:01It's heroin.
00:53:02You wear heroin.
00:53:13It's...
00:53:14You know, it's like the guy who keeps a gun in his safety deposit box.
00:53:23That's his way out.
00:53:28This is my way out.
00:53:29I don't expect to relapse.
00:53:37I don't expect to stay sober.
00:53:45I saw you watching Isabel and I on the beach.
00:53:53It's okay.
00:53:55I don't mind.
00:53:59I got a routine.
00:54:12I checked my pots in order.
00:54:14Day before yesterday was Tuesday.
00:54:17I was checking my first pot and I saw on my third buoy that there was a boat anchored.
00:54:22And so I figure I'll just check that pot on the way back.
00:54:26And when I came back, the boat was still there.
00:54:29So I figure I'll just check that pot next time I'm out.
00:54:36Sometimes it's best to just let a pot soak.
00:54:40So you found this then today?
00:54:42Yeah.
00:54:44It's protocol to regard the buoys we have at sea.
00:54:49That boat either didn't know what it was doing or it had no regard for my business dealings.
00:54:54I found that book this morning in my lobster pot.
00:55:02In my lobster pot.
00:55:06Well, I appreciate you bringing it in.
00:55:11I brought it in, Detective, because it's so perfectly preserved in a water-tight bag.
00:55:19It wanted to be found.
00:55:21I've seen this before.
00:55:26This is one of the story plots from his last book.
00:55:31I'm sure you could find three more of those if you ask around the docks, Detective.
00:55:37If one is found, you can bet it was George and his big plan.
00:55:45It has his signature all over it.
00:55:51Did you help your husband with his writing, Mrs. Boulanger?
00:55:54Every once in a while, George would get stuck.
00:55:58Get writer's block.
00:56:00Gets too close to it.
00:56:03He told me once it was like walking through fog.
00:56:06Whichever direction you go, however fast you try, it's just white.
00:56:14He would get to his last page and just start from scratch.
00:56:19Throw his book out.
00:56:23I hated that about him.
00:56:26Do you have any idea what that can do to a man?
00:56:31I'm more curious about what that might do to his wife.
00:56:37Do you think I killed my husband?
00:56:38I think something's happened to your husband.
00:56:49And I'm trying to figure out what that something is.
00:56:52So how can you sit here all day long and just stare daggers at me?
00:56:56I'm trying to help you.
00:57:00And you're telling me, after he disappeared, that this is all some part of Master Plan by George Boulanger?
00:57:07What I am saying is that if there was a fisherman, and I mean if, then George would know that it was on this man's route.
00:57:18He would study the patterns, the protocols, and he wouldn't ever allow our boat to be anchored there.
00:57:24George doesn't do anything.
00:57:25George came back from his swim.
00:57:33He seemed very determined, almost manic.
00:57:38But the first time in having spent time with him, I was actually concerned.
00:57:45He was always so calm.
00:57:49There was a change in him.
00:57:50George came back like he had a plan.
00:58:11A mission.
00:58:14There was something very, very off about him.
00:58:19I thought he might hurt Isabel.
00:58:22Perhaps he'd had enough of her drinking.
00:58:27Or maybe he was going to hurt Cecile and me.
00:58:31He'd had a rough childhood.
00:58:33From what I gathered, he had it in him.
00:58:40Feet on the dead or injured, they have a job to do.
00:58:44They purge the earth of garbage.
00:58:46George, if you look at the abyss long enough, the abyss looks back at you.
00:58:51If you look at the abyss long enough, the abyss looks back at you.
00:59:04Every once in a while, George would get stuck.
00:59:09And he would get to his last page and start from scratch.
00:59:14I hated that about him.
00:59:17Anything involving George cannot be easily explained.
00:59:21It's unpredictable.
00:59:24Yet completely logical.
00:59:25Control.
00:59:26Control.
00:59:28Manipulation.
00:59:31To be honest.
00:59:33I like games.
00:59:38Without any pushing.
00:59:41Everyone likes having a pet.
00:59:43Seagull scavige.
00:59:45Like a genius.
00:59:47Or a sociopath.
00:59:49Seagull scavige.
00:59:50There was a big bang.
00:59:53Downstairs, in the cabin, like someone fell.
00:59:57It got really uncomfortable really quickly.
01:00:00Here we were on the boat, in the middle of the water.
01:00:04What was he gonna do?
01:00:06Most people live a lie.
01:00:07I strive for truth.
01:00:17People live a lie.
01:00:18I am truth.
01:00:23What did they do to you?
01:00:28Lab results for the blood on the shawl.
01:00:32Matches Blake's.
01:00:33Not George's.
01:00:34Nothing on the boat matches George.
01:00:36It's clean as a whistle.
01:00:37Okay.
01:00:38What about the spot on the boat?
01:00:42Blake.
01:00:42Blake.
01:00:48What the hell happened to you, George?
01:01:04How did your blood get on the shawl?
01:01:09I guess Isabel was really drunk.
01:01:14After George got back from his swim, he went down into the cabin.
01:01:20Cecile and I stayed on the deck.
01:01:22We heard some commotion.
01:01:24George raised his voice.
01:01:26And there was a loud bang.
01:01:27I got up to go check it out.
01:01:30But by the time that I got to the front end of the cabin, I got hit square in the head.
01:01:37And I must have passed out.
01:01:41Because the next thing I know, I'm waking up bloody with that shawl around my head and Cecile over me.
01:01:49That's the last thing I remember.
01:01:51I tried to intervene, but George told me to mind my own business.
01:01:56Blake was lying on the floor, bleeding.
01:01:59And Isabel was drunk and she was visibly scared.
01:02:04George came back from his swim.
01:02:07Found a bottle.
01:02:08And accused me of being drunk.
01:02:11And he told me I should go to bed.
01:02:13I hate it when he babies me.
01:02:16I stumbled.
01:02:18I hit my head.
01:02:19And he started to scream.
01:02:22At that point, I, uh...
01:02:24I reached for something.
01:02:26The, um...
01:02:27Compass.
01:02:28Maybe...
01:02:31That's the last thing that I remember.
01:02:37George got back to the boat.
01:02:39Noticed Cecile and Blake together at the front of the boat.
01:02:42Realized he was losing control.
01:02:44Found a drunk Isabel.
01:02:46Tried to put Isabel to bed.
01:02:48She resisted.
01:02:50Someone threw a compass.
01:02:52Or not.
01:02:54And Blake got his one way or another.
01:02:58So the shawl and the journal are useless.
01:03:01The compass is just ridiculous.
01:03:03And all we've got are three alibis that all add up.
01:03:05Yeah, this is Bailey.
01:03:10Bailey.
01:03:21Accounts above and drain.
01:03:23When?
01:03:24Midnight.
01:03:26All of the money was transferred into Mrs. Boonage's accounts.
01:03:29Offshore.
01:03:30We're untraceable.
01:03:39Okay.
01:03:39We need to get creative.
01:03:43Start thinking like writerhood.
01:03:44What grounds us?
01:03:45What is our foundation?
01:03:47George is obviously the foundation.
01:03:49Okay.
01:03:49Let's start once again.
01:03:51If they wake up, George says good morning.
01:03:54He gives her some flowers, yadda, yadda, yadda.
01:03:56What else?
01:03:57What did George do?
01:03:58He makes a call.
01:04:00He gives a call log, check his credit card statements.
01:04:02Was she a cosigner on his accounts?
01:04:05Yeah, tell him I need a week.
01:04:06Just need to work out the final details.
01:04:09She'll be good.
01:04:10It's certainly unconventional.
01:04:11George doesn't do anything, and I mean anything, without forethought.
01:04:21We would find the money wired.
01:04:23Isabel wouldn't be that obvious.
01:04:27It's so perfectly preserved in a watertight bag.
01:04:32Fisherman.
01:04:34When was a white man exactly?
01:04:37Was it timed?
01:04:38Who sent it?
01:04:39Why go on a trip with your wife if you're planning on taking off?
01:04:44Maybe he hasn't made his decision yet.
01:04:46Really?
01:04:48Can't rule it out, Bailey.
01:04:51And what are you thinking?
01:04:53Maybe this is much broader.
01:04:55Okay, you get to the boat, Cecile, cast off, and then...
01:04:58It's a beautiful day to sail.
01:05:00Except there's a fight below deck between George and Isabel.
01:05:03It's not always about you and what you think people ought to do.
01:05:05Relax, Isabel.
01:05:06What were they really fighting about?
01:05:07Was she mad at him because he wanted to leave?
01:05:10Was this whole thing a stage performance?
01:05:12I mean, was their marriage really on the rocks anyway?
01:05:15What if she kills him, throws him over because she's sick of it?
01:05:18The pressure, the writer's block, the unfulfilled promises.
01:05:21Not sure I'd buy it.
01:05:23Next.
01:05:24The, uh, the compass toss.
01:05:25It's Blake.
01:05:26Blake would do anything for George or Isabel.
01:05:30And Cecile, she was brought into this whole thing to be the one final piece.
01:05:34Is she their alibi?
01:05:36Then there's the beach.
01:05:38All was fine, then George decides to write?
01:05:40He found inspiration, or was this all a part of his plan?
01:05:43So he contacts the fisherman to hand off the journal.
01:05:46He knows that that way, if he disappears, he's got the journal as a good clue.
01:05:50If Isabel's telling the truth, then he did do this on his own.
01:05:57Blake said he never does anything without a plan, right?
01:05:59He staged everything.
01:06:01He is or was a writer, after all.
01:06:03But I don't buy it.
01:06:05They killed him, they throw him overboard.
01:06:08And everything we've heard, all of these stories, they're just that.
01:06:11Just a string of stories.
01:06:12Well conceived, mind you, but conceived nevertheless, by our three witnesses.
01:06:18Our case files should be called The Disappearance of George,
01:06:24with the hands of Cecile, Blake, and Isabel.
01:06:28So if, and I mean if, they did do it,
01:06:31then we have to consider that they're all lying to us.
01:06:36Okay?
01:06:38Let's have one more chat with them.
01:06:48It's a beautiful necklace.
01:06:55Thanks.
01:06:56It's been in my family a long time.
01:06:59My mother gave it to me before she left.
01:07:01She said it reminded her of being wild and free.
01:07:06Take me through the last part of the night one more time.
01:07:10And the last thing you saw.
01:07:11Blake had a pretty nasty cut.
01:07:15I went back to check on Isabel, and she asked me to lay in bed with her.
01:07:21I crawled into bed and held her.
01:07:26The last thing I remember, George standing at the cabin, watching us.
01:07:31He was just watching you?
01:07:32Mm.
01:07:33What about the morning?
01:07:35Isabel woke me up.
01:07:37She told me that George was gone.
01:07:39We were hoping that he was out in the dinghy,
01:07:40or that he'd gone to the beach for a swim.
01:07:42That's it?
01:07:43Yeah.
01:07:45Yeah, that's the last thing I remember.
01:07:49If George were to disappear,
01:07:51would he do it like this?
01:07:55He's refined.
01:07:57There's too many mistakes.
01:07:59I don't know what happened out there,
01:08:02but would he just leave us?
01:08:06No.
01:08:07Not his style.
01:08:10You seem to know George pretty well, Blake.
01:08:13More so than his wife and his girlfriend.
01:08:17Have you ever heard of the trials and death of Socrates?
01:08:22Socrates believed that he was the smartest man in the world.
01:08:31The prosecutor asked,
01:08:33why do you believe this?
01:08:36Socrates said,
01:08:37I know I am the smartest man in the world,
01:08:41because I know that I know nothing.
01:08:46What's the last thing you saw, Blake?
01:08:49George standing over me.
01:08:51And?
01:08:53That's it.
01:08:54Tell me what you remember from this morning.
01:08:58I woke up with a terrible headache, of course.
01:09:03And I went outside to get some fresh air on my face.
01:09:09I noticed Blake passed out.
01:09:12He had his heroin necklace crushed open.
01:09:15There was a bandage on his head.
01:09:17I looked around for George.
01:09:20George, he was nowhere.
01:09:22I waited up on the deck for him for about an hour or so.
01:09:27I thought maybe he would pop up out of the water,
01:09:31like he always did before.
01:09:33But he never did.
01:09:37So I woke up Cecile to help me look for him on the beach or in the water.
01:09:46But he was gone.
01:09:47So we called Harbour Patrol.
01:09:54He's just disappeared.
01:09:56We woke up and he was gone.
01:09:58George has disappeared before.
01:10:04This time's different.
01:10:05He's done this before, yes.
01:10:12But never quite like this.
01:10:17Thank you, Isabel.
01:10:20You're free to leave.
01:10:21One more thing, detective.
01:10:24If I know George the way I do,
01:10:26then he'll show up.
01:10:29In one form or another.
01:10:32George likes to put people in situations.
01:10:35And then see how things play out.
01:10:41I guess four people on a sailboat fits the bill.
01:10:43If you'd have told me I'd be sipping champagne on a sailboat with a beautiful woman,
01:10:53I would have thought I'd died of contact.
01:10:58You just want control.
01:11:08We have a lot to talk about.
01:11:13One day, I want to have a girl like you.
01:11:20And a boat like that.
01:11:23Irony.
01:11:24The basis by which all art exists.
01:11:28George doesn't do anything.
01:11:30And I mean anything without forethought.
01:11:33That's just not his nature.
01:11:36If this trip goes according to my plan,
01:11:39maybe I'll like you too.
01:11:43I've already learned that life is lonely, detective.
01:11:46You misinterpreted.
01:11:48I'm just his casual weekend friend.
01:11:49Just his casual weekend friend.
01:11:51He isn't my master.
01:11:52Nobody is.
01:11:53Nobody is.
01:11:57We need uncertainty.
01:11:59We need something to need.
01:12:01To possess.
01:12:02To give reason to all this nothingness that surrounds you and I.
01:12:06Yeah.
01:12:25What?
01:12:26Morgan.
01:12:27Check your data.
01:12:28Why?
01:12:29Check.
01:12:29Okay, I'm looking at him right now.
01:12:34There's two things worth noting.
01:12:37What are they?
01:12:38First, detachment in an email.
01:12:41I want you to listen to it.
01:12:43It's a voice memo recorded from his phone,
01:12:45and it's dated at 10.56pm.
01:12:49You're kidding.
01:12:51What's the second thing?
01:12:53The phone call he made that morning
01:12:55was to JNE Publishing.
01:12:57We're getting it transcribed now,
01:12:59but I can tell you this.
01:13:01It was about the delivery of this next novel.
01:13:03The publisher demanded it.
01:13:11Thank you, Bailey.
01:13:13Good work.
01:13:17Okay.
01:13:25Destin.
01:13:26Destin, one, two, three.
01:13:29Isabella, are you okay?
01:13:31You think she's gonna throw me overboard?
01:13:33He could hear us right now.
01:13:35I will throw his ass overboard.
01:13:37Blake, what are you thinking?
01:13:39What are you thinking?
01:13:40You can't even want to do something
01:13:41with our camera.
01:13:42You know, I have an idea.
01:13:45We should get rid of him.
01:13:47No.
01:13:48We could.
01:13:49What if all three of us?
01:13:51What if we three?
01:13:53No.
01:13:55I'd leave him if I could.
01:13:57I feel trapped.
01:13:59I could kill him.
01:14:01This is a possibility.
01:14:03I don't know.
01:14:04I don't know.
01:14:05We're not gonna kill him.
01:14:06We shouldn't be talking about this.
01:14:07I know you think about it, too.
01:14:09I know.
01:14:10Yes, but I just...
01:14:11I just...
01:14:12Cecil, you can't...
01:14:13You don't agree with this, do you?
01:14:16Do you?
01:14:17Look, he's...
01:14:18He's like a father to me.
01:14:20He's...
01:14:21Flaking you out.
01:14:22No.
01:14:24No.
01:14:25You can have the both.
01:14:27I'm not doing this.
01:14:34He's like...
01:14:35Flaking.
01:14:36Flaking.
01:14:37Flaking.
01:14:38Fine.
01:14:39I'll do it.
01:14:40What?
01:14:41I mean...
01:14:42If he's getting the boat and you're getting the money, what's left for me?
01:14:46I feel...
01:14:47I'll give you the world.
01:14:49I just...
01:14:50Don't even know what I want.
01:14:53How are we gonna do that?
01:14:55We don't know where he is.
01:14:57Just...
01:14:58Do you hear him?
01:15:00Oh, here he comes.
01:15:04Hey.
01:15:05You get in tomorrow morning.
01:15:06I'm gonna need you to double check if there's a Captain Cody on file at the Dana Point Harbor, okay?
01:15:25I think I figured it out.
01:15:34When I begin a new story, I start with choosing a location.
01:15:53It must have a compelling and suggestive component to it.
01:15:57Time and space need to be defined by its own unique characteristics.
01:16:01I didn't choose to be this way.
01:16:07It is who I am.
01:16:10Always been and always will be.
01:16:20I am...
01:16:22A writer.
01:16:23I am.
01:16:24I am.
01:16:26I am.
01:16:30I am.
01:16:33I am.
01:16:34I am.
01:16:36I am.
01:16:38I am.
01:16:40I am found.
01:16:42I am...
01:16:44I am alsochen Re aΕΌ.
