00:01:06What's the safe word?
00:01:08There is no safe word.
00:01:10We don't do that anymore.
00:01:14What's the safe word?
00:01:16We don't do that anymore.
00:01:18You don't get to change your mind.
00:01:29Pretending that this is happening to someone else keeps me strong.
00:01:32Pretending keeps me alive, but I'm tired of pretending.
00:01:43Nothing will change till you change it.
00:02:00I'll just keep pretending I'm strong.
00:02:02And one day, I'll have the strength to go home.
00:02:17Where is she?
00:02:18I don't know.
00:02:21I liked you a lot better when you're sucking dicks for a living like the rest of us.
00:02:29We don't do what we have to do.
00:02:34Maybe we'll all just leave.
00:02:37Could you let her leave?
00:02:38It's what she does.
00:02:42She leaves.
00:02:46You should have stopped her.
00:02:47Fuck you, Marcus.
00:02:48Want to go back on the drugs for you?
00:03:02Want to go back on the drugs for you?
00:03:06Please.
00:03:24Hi there.

00:03:30Whatever Priya does for you, I can do.
00:03:33I'm here to see Priya.
00:03:36Follow me.
00:03:50Are you crazy? Why would you come back?
00:03:52Where's Marcus?
00:03:55He's picking up another shipment.
00:03:57Which means the lease for tonight?
00:03:59You're one lucky little bitch.
00:04:02How many in this shipment?
00:04:04He said 20. I don't know where we're gonna put them.
00:04:09I'd never come back.
00:04:13You have to leave to come back.
00:04:34I'll wait.
00:04:35I'll wait for you.
00:04:36I'll wait for you.
00:04:39Come back.
00:04:41I can't wait for you.
00:04:43I can't wait for you.
00:04:44I feel at peace at the gun range.
00:05:12I can see the future, I understand what to do, pretend so loud everyone else can feel
00:05:20your thoughts, each breath leading to the next.
00:05:33Every shot you fire leads you closer to the target.
00:05:37Every dream becomes real.

00:08:06Bathroom's to the right. Take a shower and then walk down the hallway to the empty bedroom. Your hour starts now.
00:08:25Your desk is over here. I'll log you in and we can get started.
00:08:36There seems to be a difference between what you hear and what people say.
00:08:43You've said that before.
00:08:45Not that I know of.
00:08:51We talked last week about projecting anger onto simple situations.
00:08:55You weren't there.
00:09:01You can just copy-paste depending on whether there's a formula or not.
00:09:06Look, let me show you a few tricks and then I can disappear for about an hour.
00:09:14And I'll hop in and check on you after lunch.
00:09:18Thanks.
00:09:19When I'm filling these out, I copy-paste my face off.
00:09:22Most products are $29.99.
00:09:25Just copy-paste and then correct as you go.
00:09:29See? All done.
00:09:31I'll see you'll figure it out in the next one.
00:09:36I just saw myself bashing her head against the desk.
00:09:43The police report said that you used the stapler.
00:09:47Doesn't say you banged her head against the desk.
00:09:49There's a difference between what I see myself doing and what I do.
00:09:53Well, can you see that she was just training you?
00:09:56And not trying to judge you or make fun of you?
00:09:58You actually think there's a difference?
00:10:02Please, tell me about the stapler.
00:10:07It's all in the report.
00:10:10Hi, Anna. How was your lunch?
00:10:12If you skipped, you should probably take one now.
00:10:16I checked the files you uploaded earlier and the totals are a bit off.
00:10:19Can I help you figure that out?
00:10:21Okay.
00:10:24Ah!
00:10:26Ah!
00:10:28Ah!
00:10:30Ah!
00:10:32Ah!
00:10:33Did you black out?
00:10:35Did you know what was happening?
00:10:38There were 22 staples removed from that girl's head.
00:10:41She just wouldn't leave me alone.
00:10:44Do you think that's the best idea?
00:10:46To leave you alone?
00:10:50You will have to face those assault charges.
00:10:53And there is no way of getting out of group therapy.
00:10:59Lucky for you, your mother posted your bail.
00:11:04Fuck.
00:11:06I understand it's been some time.
00:11:08How did she even find me?
00:11:09Does it matter?
00:11:10Yes.
00:11:13Those sessions start in a week.
00:11:15And I expect to see you again in two days.
00:11:32I can take you home now.
00:11:40I'll just go get the car and you can meet me out front.
00:11:42I'll just go get the car and you can meet me out front.
00:11:43I'll go get the car and you can go and take it out.
00:11:46I'll just go home anyway.
00:11:50I'm ready for the car and you won't go.
00:11:54I'm ready for the car.
00:12:25Please stop.
00:12:55Are you done now?
00:13:03Fuck.
00:13:05Fuck.
00:13:11Just like old times.
00:13:25Just like old times.
00:13:27Just like old times.
00:13:29Just like old times.
00:13:31Okay.
00:13:33Just like old times.
00:13:35Just like old times.
00:14:07I already made the bed, so it's all ready for you.
00:14:16I know it looks a little bare in here right now, but it's still your room.
00:14:21Well, if you're hungry, there's leftovers downstairs.
00:14:27God, I guess I'll see you later.
00:14:37God, I'll see you later.
00:15:07God, I'll see you later.
00:15:37God, I'll see you later.
00:16:07Oh, good. You're awake.
00:16:10What's all this?
00:16:12This is called breakfast.
00:16:15Eat it.
00:16:16Eat.
00:16:16Can't we just fight and get it over with?
00:16:21I think it's best if we just let things happen naturally, never force things.
00:16:28Can't we just pretend?
00:16:33Can I have one day?
00:16:36You've been gone so long, I don't even know what we'd fight about.
00:16:39I promise we can fight tomorrow.
00:16:44I promise we can fight tomorrow.
00:16:44He's here, isn't he?
00:16:49I don't know.
00:16:50I'll see you later.
00:16:51I'll see you later.
00:16:52I'll see you later.
00:16:52He's here, isn't he?
00:17:22He's still in love with you. Turns out playing hard to get is his kryptonite.
00:17:28That's probably why I married you.
00:17:31The only reason that happened is so you could stay in the fucking country.
00:17:35You come back, you show everyone that you still work for me.
00:17:41And then we figure things out from there.
00:17:47You don't even need me.
00:17:50And to come back so that no one else leaves.
00:17:55She gets it, Marcus. Back off.
00:18:01I'll bring her back in a week. Two at the most.
00:18:13One week.
00:18:16That's it.
00:18:21One week.
00:18:29You have to go back.
00:18:32They know. They know where you live.
00:18:34You're gonna run, just run. But stop this fucking bullshit.
00:18:40There's no way out of this, Anna.
00:18:44Run.
00:18:46I run when I'm ready.
00:18:49I decide what happens to me. No one else.
00:18:51No one else.

00:25:58I don't work for anyone.
00:26:00Anna?
00:26:07It's okay.
00:26:12You're at home.

00:26:47Just for tonight?
00:26:49I want to, I do.
00:26:51I want to, I do, but we have to ask her.
00:26:56Maybe she doesn't want to see me.
00:26:58Of course she wants to.
00:27:08I'll pick you up in an hour.
00:27:10Don't get in.
00:27:11We all need our moments of silence.
00:27:21But hiding is not the answer.
00:27:25We need to find a way to start again.
00:27:28A way of moving forward.
00:27:37Hello. I'm Elizabeth.
00:27:40Please don't call me Liz.
00:27:44I really hate all of you.
00:27:48We just fucking sit around here and pretend like this is helping.
00:27:52Elizabeth, we talked about that word.
00:27:55Then what am I supposed to fucking say?
00:27:58I'm displeased with all of you and the situation.
00:28:01All I have left in my life are restraining orders.
00:28:05I'm not even allowed within a mile of my own family.
00:28:08And I, I hate not being able to see them.
00:28:14I fucking hate it.
00:28:16Let's remember to take a breath and walk away.
00:28:28Elizabeth messed up a little bit, but she walked away.
00:28:34She took the time to think before acting.
00:28:38We'd like to thank everyone for sharing today.
00:28:42Let's take a short break.
00:28:44We'll move back here in 15.
00:28:48I love him. I do. I just wish he'd grow up.
00:28:54They grow up?
00:28:56Hey. You know who I saw the other day? Thomas.
00:29:00Who's Thomas?
00:29:02Don't pretend with me. We'd love us some Thomas.
00:29:04It's been a while but he's still hot.
00:29:06And you wrote a song about him.
00:29:12You're drunk.
00:29:14You're drunk.
00:29:16No.
00:29:30You wrote a song about him?
00:29:35You're drunk.
00:29:36Alright.
00:29:37There she goes.
00:29:42Love you for so long.
00:29:45Oh, Tom.
00:29:46Thomas, Thomas, Thomas, Thomas.
00:29:51Thomas, Thomas, Thomas, Thomas.
00:29:53Make him love.
00:29:54Make him love.
00:29:56You.
00:29:57Me.
00:29:59And I'm on the soap.
00:30:01So, wait.
00:30:02How do I get a song written about me?
00:30:08Not gonna happen.
00:30:10Where have you been hiding this week?
00:30:13I'm not hiding.
00:30:16No, seriously.
00:30:17Why haven't you set me up with your sister?
00:30:19Oh, I like her too much to make her hang out with you.
00:30:22Oh.
00:30:23I'm deeply offended.
00:30:26Fuck off, Steve.
00:30:30I'm just glad you're back.
00:30:35To Anna.
00:30:36Anna.
00:30:37Anna.
00:30:38Anna.
00:30:43I'll be right back.
00:30:59Come back inside.
00:31:11You're not done celebrating yet.
00:31:14I've got somewhere to be.
00:31:16Take a shower.
00:31:31Your hour starts now.
00:31:33Take a shower.
00:31:34Your hour starts now.
00:31:35Take a shower.
00:31:36Your hour starts now.
00:31:39Take a shower.
00:31:40Take a shower.
00:31:41Take a shower.
00:31:42Your hour starts now.
00:31:44What the fuck?
00:32:14What the fuck?
00:32:44What the fuck?
00:33:14What the fuck?
00:33:44What the fuck?
00:33:46Anna, get in.
00:33:51This door stays open.
00:33:56That's fine.
00:33:58Feeling better?
00:33:59Does it matter how I feel?
00:34:01We want to help you, Anna.
00:34:03Or we could stake out your apartment and arrest anyone who shows up.
00:34:07And that's gonna be bad for business.
00:34:09I'm retired.
00:34:10Oh, we can help you with that too.
00:34:16I have to do this on my own.
00:34:18Am I under arrest?
00:34:19Not yet, but it could happen.
00:34:21Good to know.
00:34:22We don't want you, Anna.
00:34:23We want Marcus.
00:34:25I have to go.
00:34:29You can't leave group therapy mid-session.
00:34:36You can't leave group therapy mid-session.
00:34:51Why not?
00:34:52Because you can't.
00:34:54This is part of your parole.
00:34:58You get one freebie.
00:35:00If you miss anything else, we'll have to notify the police.
00:35:05Who's we?
00:35:06We?
00:35:07Me?
00:35:08I?
00:35:09Does it matter?
00:35:10I didn't know you used the royal we.
00:35:16I know the first session could be a lot.
00:35:19Have you had any other violent thoughts?
00:35:22Anyone in your family?
00:35:24Me?
00:35:27Don't worry.
00:35:28You're safe for now.
00:35:30Do you feel safe?
00:35:32No.
00:35:35I don't know.
00:35:41Do you have another placement lined up for you?
00:35:44I'm not sure I could get another one.
00:35:47It'd have to be someplace safe.
00:35:49Without any staplers.
00:35:51What we're doing here isn't a joke.
00:35:55I know.
00:35:58Why did you leave group therapy?
00:36:01I had to go.
00:36:02No.
00:36:03You had to stay.
00:36:19Bathroom's on the right.
00:36:21Take a shower, then walk down the hallway to the empty bedroom.
00:36:24Your hour starts now.
00:36:33What are you gonna do about this thing?
00:36:37It's taken care of.
00:36:40I gave you this business.
00:36:42You run it for me.
00:36:43And if I have to, I'll take it back.
00:36:52It's taken care of.
00:36:56Either she goes back to work, or you do.
00:37:01I don't care which.
00:37:02I don't care much.
00:37:15Can I help you, Marcus?
00:37:17Do you need anything?
00:37:18I know you're there.
00:37:19Either come in or leave. I just don't know what you want.
00:37:33I just want to keep you safe.
00:37:34I just want to keep you safe.
00:37:35You can't do that.
00:37:36It's too late.
00:37:37Fifteen years have passed.
00:37:38The police stopped looking.
00:37:39They told me I had to accept that you weren't coming back.
00:37:40I didn't come back.
00:37:41Not really.
00:37:42If I wake up tomorrow, I'm not going to go back.
00:37:43I don't know what you want.
00:37:44I don't know what you want.
00:37:45I don't know what you want.
00:37:46I just want to keep you safe.
00:37:47You can't do that.
00:37:48It's too late.
00:37:49Fifteen years have passed.
00:37:50The police stopped looking.
00:37:51They told me I had to accept that you weren't coming back.
00:37:52I didn't come back.
00:37:53Not really.
00:37:54If I wake up tomorrow, and you're not here, I don't-
00:37:55Don't make this about you.
00:37:56It happened to me, not to you.
00:37:57Don't make this about you.
00:37:58It happened to me, not to you.
00:38:20You can get used to fear.
00:38:33It can become a part of you.
00:38:36You begin to need it.
00:38:38Without my fear, who will I be?
00:38:40Who will I run away from?
00:38:43Being scared makes me feel safe.
00:38:50It's not going.
00:39:02It's not going to be maybe?
00:39:03It's familiar.
00:39:04It's not going to be meant to be seen.
00:39:06It's not going to be afraid of asking anyone.
00:39:09It's mü?
00:39:11Why'll I run away from now?
00:39:15And she's protected, from now.
00:39:17Whispered through the enforcement collective guide by reading Time
00:39:20Do you have a death wish?
00:39:36No.
00:39:37Why did you pick up your phone?
00:39:39I don't know.
00:39:40It was ringing.
00:39:43You have two choices.
00:39:45Trash your phone, get a new number, and get a new life.
00:39:50Or meet me at your place and we'll talk.
00:39:52When do you want to meet?
00:39:54Two o'clock at your place.
00:39:58Two o'clock.
00:40:05So when are you going to leave town?
00:40:08Soon.
00:40:08I don't get it, Anna.
00:40:10You got away.
00:40:11How much longer do you think you can keep doing this?
00:40:16I guess I'll do what I have to do for as long as I have to do it.
00:40:20Then what?
00:40:22Then I'll pretend this is happening to someone else for a bit.
00:40:27Thank God this is happening to someone else.
00:40:30I don't think either of us could handle it.
00:40:37I'm sorry.
00:40:37I'm sorry.
00:40:55Fria.
00:40:56Get to the kitchen.
00:40:57Why do you always do this to me?
00:41:25Maybe I'm not trying to do something to you.
00:41:30Maybe I'm trying to do something to me.
00:41:32Oh!
00:41:34I'm sorry.
00:41:36Om.
00:41:41I'm sorry.
00:41:58I'm sorry.
00:41:58I don't know.
00:42:28I'm here.
00:42:49Don't you worry.
00:42:50I'm here.
00:42:58What the hell happened to her?
00:43:14I don't know.
00:43:17She's alive, all right?
00:43:19Just stop.
00:43:21You never listen.
00:43:23Do the other people know?
00:43:25You're a sick asshole.
00:43:27Do they know, Priya?
00:43:30Yes, they know.
00:43:37Anything you can tell us can help.
00:43:40I told you I don't remember anything.
00:43:43We'll check in on you soon to see if your memory comes back.
00:43:49Anything you can think of, give us a call.
00:43:51I don't know.
00:44:21Bathroom's on the right.
00:44:29Take a shower, and then walk to the empty bedroom down the hallway.
00:44:33Your hour starts now.
00:44:34We can take you home in the morning.
00:44:51We can talk about it tomorrow.
00:44:54Anna, please let me take care of you.
00:44:58It's too late for that.
00:45:10You can't go on acting like nothing happened to you.
00:45:19Turn away from me all you want.
00:45:20When you turn back, I'm still going to be here.
00:45:27I just want to go to sleep.
00:45:30You can take me anywhere you want in the morning.
00:45:32I just need to go to sleep.
00:45:34I just want to go to sleep.
00:45:58Your hour starts now.
00:46:28Your hour starts now.
00:46:58Your hour starts now.
00:47:28Your hour starts now.
00:47:58Pretending keeps me alive, but I'm tired of pretending.
00:48:02Nothing will change till you change it.
00:48:05I'll just keep pretending I'm strong and one day I'll have the strength to go home.
00:48:10We know you feel trapped.
00:48:15We get it.
00:48:15You don't want to be here.
00:48:21Where else you got to be right now?
00:48:26I'm glad I'm here.
00:48:27I can go at any time, but I'm still here.
00:48:34So who's here today?
00:48:37Who's been listening for a long time but wants to speak?
00:48:40I'm Tammy.
00:48:44I've been coming to these sessions for three months.
00:48:48And I love my kids.
00:48:54I really do.
00:48:55I just want to see them.
00:48:58Just to keep them safe, you know?
00:49:00Thank you, Tammy.
00:49:10Is there anyone else who would like to speak?
00:49:12Thank you all for coming, and we'll see you next week.
00:49:19You know, they won't let you leave until you talk.
00:49:40What?
00:49:42They keep track of who says stuff.
00:49:45You can't just hang out.
00:49:46Eventually, you have to say something.
00:49:50How do you know?
00:49:51I just know.
00:49:55Well, looks like it's too late now.
00:49:58Class is over for the day.
00:49:59Too late now.
00:50:01Maybe next time.
00:50:10I don't think there's room for that.
00:50:12You better eat my cake next week or there's going to be trouble.
00:50:16It's my birthday next week.
00:50:20You're invited.
00:50:22Oh, sorry.
00:50:24Happy birthday.
00:50:25It's not my birthday yet.
00:50:27And we're just going to have a small dinner.
00:50:29My dinners are never small.
00:50:31Steve might come.
00:50:33He likes you.
00:50:35Don't you dare.
00:50:36I'm going to kill you.
00:50:40You leave me no other choice.
00:50:52Hello?
00:50:53I hear you're back on your feet.
00:50:56And I'll just pretend that you can hear me.
00:51:01What do you want?
00:51:02I wasn't good enough for you.
00:51:09But we had something.
00:51:18What do you want?
00:51:19I love you, Anna.
00:51:26I think it's time for you to get back to work.
00:51:30I'm not ready.
00:51:33Not yet.
00:51:34But soon.
00:51:35I'm sorry.
00:51:52I can tell Steve not to come.
00:51:54He's your friend.
00:51:56He should be there.
00:51:57I'm sorry.
00:51:57I can tell Steve not to come.
00:51:57He's your friend.
00:51:57He should be there.
00:51:59Hey.
00:52:15Hey.
00:52:16It's okay.
00:52:17It's okay.
00:52:19It's okay.
00:52:20I got it.
00:52:22Hey.
00:52:23Hey.
00:52:23Come here.
00:52:24Come here.
00:52:29It hurts, it's okay.
00:52:31It's okay.
00:52:33It hurts.
00:52:59So how does this work?
00:53:09Well, I usually say something, right?
00:53:14And then you say something in return.
00:53:17And then I basically beg you for your phone number.
00:53:22And does that usually work for you?
00:53:25Depends.
00:53:26On what?
00:53:27How bad they want to leave.
00:53:29Oh.
00:53:31Ouch.
00:53:33I'm starting to think you might not like me.
00:53:37We're here so that Mary gets us out of her system.
00:53:40It's easier to do this than to have her try it again.
00:53:45She'll never stop.
00:53:48So I don't have a chance, do I?
00:53:51No one does.
00:53:54Come on.
00:53:56Why don't you tell me anything about yourself?
00:54:04Because I'm a prostitute and I don't really like to talk about it.
00:54:08I mean...
00:54:12Ah, wow.
00:54:14That's a big one.
00:54:18Well, I thought we were getting along fine.
00:54:21I thought you liked me.
00:54:23Well, why doesn't she like me?
00:54:25What are you, 12?
00:54:26Look, I'm sorry if I...
00:54:30Sorry?
00:54:31Fuck sorry.
00:54:34You know what I would like?
00:54:36A choice.
00:54:38A chance to make my own decisions.
00:54:41I want to decide what happens to me.
00:54:51I like my gun.
00:54:53I like the sound.
00:54:55Which version of me will show up today?
00:54:58How angry am I going to be?
00:55:01How sad?
00:55:03I wish I could choose, but it's not up to me.
00:55:12I know I have to say something, but...
00:55:14I don't want to.
00:55:19I wish I could cry, but I can't.
00:55:23I've been angry for a really long time.
00:55:36You all seem so sad to me.
00:55:40I don't want to be sad.
00:55:43I don't want to be anything.
00:55:47Thank you, Anna.
00:55:51Would anyone else like to speak?
00:55:55Did you really have to punch him?
00:55:57He tried to hold my hand.
00:56:00I don't think I actually punched him.
00:56:02I'm pretty sure he's making it up.
00:56:04He's not making it up.
00:56:06I saw the Instagram photo.
00:56:07It was black eye.
00:56:08Somebody punched him.
00:56:13Glad you're back.
00:56:15Please don't go.
00:56:16Maybe I'm not really here.
00:56:28Michael, finally.
00:56:30Apparently it only takes 20 phone calls.
00:56:33Years later, I still feel his hands on me.
00:56:36Sit down.
00:56:37I'll get you a cup of coffee.
00:56:39I hear his breathing.
00:56:42Glad to have you back.
00:56:43Mary.
00:56:45Mary.
00:56:47Mary.
00:56:49I wasn't even scared when it happened.
00:56:51Confused, mostly.
00:56:53Where's that girl?
00:56:58A game with new rules I hadn't learned yet.
00:57:05Hannah, please don't say anything.
00:57:14I'm gonna have to take a rain check on that coffee.
00:57:20I'm late for a meeting.
00:57:28Come on.
00:57:29We'll get you cleaned up.
00:57:43I'm not leaving until this door opens.
00:57:56Hello, Carol.
00:58:01What did you do to my girl?
00:58:03Nothing.
00:58:05What did you do?
00:58:07It's ancient history.
00:58:08If I see you near her again, I will kill you myself.
00:58:28Congratulations.
00:58:30For what?
00:58:32You said something.
00:58:34Doesn't really matter, does it?
00:58:35I might have lied to you just to see what happens.
00:58:39Just because you said something, doesn't mean no sense.
00:58:42You are such a bitch.
00:58:53What's going on up there?
00:58:55Some powerful ADD you've got.
00:58:57I'm just planning out how I'm going to kill you.
00:58:59To kill you.
00:59:01You can't kill me.
00:59:02I'm your new best friend.
00:59:06Hi, Anna.
00:59:07I know you're having some trouble.
00:59:08Why don't you try reading the script through a few times at first,
00:59:11and then you can make it your own.
00:59:14So I just read this?
00:59:16Yes, until you make the sale.
00:59:17Then you go down the list and get the credit card number,
00:59:19and then move along.
00:59:20Okay?
00:59:21The computer will auto-dial for you.
00:59:23Okay.
00:59:24Okay.
00:59:25I'll be listening in a few times at first.
00:59:27After that, you can make it your own, okay?
00:59:29Great.
00:59:30Okay.
00:59:31Hello?
00:59:49Hi, I'm calling...
00:59:52I'm calling...
01:00:01So that's right.
01:00:02I'm calling.
01:00:04Okay.
01:00:08Bye.
01:00:09Bye.
01:00:11Bye.
01:00:13Bye.
01:00:14Bye.
01:00:15Bye.
01:00:17Bye.
01:00:21Bye.
01:00:23Bye.
01:00:29Bye.
01:01:01Bathroom's to the right. Take a shower and then walk down the hallway to the empty bedroom. Your hour starts now.
01:01:31Bathroom's to the right.
01:02:01Bathroom's to the right.
01:02:04Bathroom's to the right.
01:02:08Bathroom's to the right.
01:02:10Bathroom's to the left.
01:02:16If you're all in trouble, you're stuck.
01:02:17I need you to open your eyes.
01:02:19I'm sorry.
01:02:21I'm sorry, you're out.
01:02:22I'm sorry.
01:02:23I've had a great time coming back.
01:02:25And I'm sorry that he is dead.
01:02:27I'm sorry.
01:02:28But don't make meenta like that.
01:02:31I mean, you're not getting me to die.
01:02:33You're not gonna die.
01:02:36Ready?
01:02:36You're not gonna be a good guy.
01:02:37I'm not gonna have to.
01:02:39I'm not gonna have to.
01:02:41To the next movie,
01:02:42I'm not gonna have to leave.
01:02:43No, no, no.
01:02:44I'm not gonna have to leave now.
01:02:45You've almost got the color back in your cheeks.
01:03:16They say I can take you home.
01:03:20Why would you even want me back?
01:03:25I have to take care of you now. It's what I do.
01:03:31I need to take care of you.
01:03:34Mom, just one more day, two at most.
01:03:38I'm not sure, but I think you just referred to me as your mother.
01:03:44Now go get your things. Meet me in the car.
01:03:51I'm not sure.
01:03:52I'm not sure.
01:03:53I'm not sure.
01:03:54I'm not sure.
01:03:56I'm not sure, but I'm not sure.
01:03:59I'm not sure.
01:04:03I'm not sure.
01:04:05I'm not sure.
01:04:06Whatever it is, just say it.
01:04:34I didn't know why you left, but it was my fault.
01:04:39I know you don't want to talk about this, so why do you keep bringing it up?
01:04:44Anna, let me help you. I'm here for you.
01:04:49How many times did I hide in this room while Dad hit you?
01:04:52Don't! Just...
01:04:57Let me go.
01:05:04I'll go make us something to eat.
01:05:11I think it's a good idea.
01:05:14I'm not sleeping on your couch. I'd just be in the way.
01:05:17It's not possible.
01:05:19Okay, maybe, but it doesn't matter. My couch is your couch.
01:05:33Anna?
01:05:38You don't get to change your mind.
01:06:03I think we should go now.
01:06:10No, Mom. Not really.
01:06:14No. She's fine.
01:06:18Anna, are you fine?
01:06:20I'm fine.
01:06:23I'll bring her back. I promise.
01:06:36Do you actually wear these things in bed?
01:06:38No. Your mother bought me those.
01:06:43You're not coming back, are you?
01:06:46I have to finish a few things.
01:06:48Okay.
01:06:51But you have to tell her, because I'm not.
01:06:55I'll call her.
01:06:58I promise.
01:07:03I just can't stay here anymore.
01:07:05Why not?
01:07:07Because I can't.
01:07:10I can't wear these things anymore.
01:07:13How do you do it?
01:07:36How do you keep pretending?
01:07:41Why didn't anyone touch you?
01:07:48Is that what you really think?
01:07:52You think that Dad and Uncle Michael never touched me?
01:07:59I guess I'm just better at pretending than you are.
01:08:04I don't know.
01:08:05Well...
01:08:31So?
01:08:33So?
01:08:39I know where your mother lives now.
01:08:44She seems really nice.
01:08:51I totally understand why you didn't introduce me to mom.
01:08:55But I'm a little offended that I didn't get to meet your sister.
01:09:10I'll think about what I want to do.
01:09:14You don't think about things anymore.
01:09:18You don't make choices.
01:09:23She's kidding, Marcus.
01:09:26She'll be back tomorrow.
01:09:35Tomorrow, Anna.
01:09:38Tomorrow.
01:09:42Giving up would be easier.
01:09:46Accepting.
01:09:48Accepting the world as it is would be easier.
01:09:51Nothing will change until you change it.
01:10:05Thank you, Anna.
01:10:08We'll take a short break and be back in 15.
01:10:11Hey.
01:10:25Hey.
01:10:27Hey.
01:10:28Still pre-visualizing my death?
01:10:32You know you don't have to talk at every session.
01:10:34Fuck you.
01:10:35Fuck you.
01:10:36Fuck you, too.
01:10:51Anna?
01:10:51Hi, mom.
01:10:52Hi, Mom.
01:10:54When are you coming home?
01:10:55I don't know when I can.
01:10:57Well, then go back to Mary's.
01:10:59Just stay there. I won't even come visit.
01:11:02I just have to go away for a while.
01:11:09I'm so sorry.
01:11:12What for? I didn't do a thing.
01:11:15I just want you to come home.
01:11:22There's a separation between me and what happens to Anna.
01:11:35There's at least three of us.
01:11:37Past Anna, Anna Anna now, and future Anna.
01:11:44I wish the three of us could get along, but that's not possible.
01:11:48This is all past Anna's fault.
01:11:50This is future Anna's problem to fix.
01:12:01There are people who stop doing this.
01:12:04They move on and become a face in the crowd.
01:12:07I want to be a face in the crowd and feel like I belong there.
01:12:12Anna, where have you been?
01:12:13I don't know, really.
01:12:14I've missed you.
01:12:15I've missed you.
01:12:28Anna, where have you been?
01:12:36I don't know, really.
01:12:39I've missed you.
01:12:41I love your hair.
01:12:44It's so beautiful.
01:12:45It's perfect.
01:12:47It's time to stop pretending.
01:12:58Anna.
01:13:28It's so beautiful.
01:13:58It's so beautiful.
01:14:28It's so beautiful.
01:14:35See?
01:14:36I told you she'd be back.
01:14:38I told you she'd be back.
01:14:45I told you she'd be back.
01:14:48I told you she'd be back.
01:14:55I told you she'd be back.
01:15:02You can get used to fear.
01:15:14It can become a part of you.
01:15:18You begin to need it.
01:15:19Without my fear, who will I be?
01:15:25Are you Anna?
01:15:32No, I'm not.
01:15:35We control our own realities.
01:15:42We control our own realities.
01:15:53We decide which door to open, which path to walk.
01:15:57which path to walk.
01:15:58When reality knocks on your door, remember that you have a choice.
01:16:04Nothing will change till you change it.
01:16:11it would be.
01:16:12You're not.
01:16:13I'm not.
01:16:14I don't know.
01:16:15I'm not.
01:16:16I'm not.
01:16:17I'm not.
01:16:18I'm not.
