00:19What the fuck?
00:20Oh god.
00:21What the fuck?
00:22Oh god.
00:23What the fuck?
00:24What the fuck?
00:25You psycho!
00:26Why the fuck am I tied to a chair?
00:28What the fuck?
00:29Why should she flinch?
00:30Oh god.
00:31Oh.
00:32It's okay.
00:33It's okay.
00:33Are you?
00:34How are you?
00:37How am I?
00:38How the fuck do you think I am?
00:39What did you do to me?
00:42Vlad, I'm sorry.
00:44We were so drunk.
00:46And then you said that you might want to be dominated.
00:51Just to try it.
00:53But then nothing happened because I myself was so drunk.
00:56And then God, I passed out.
00:58And this whole thing is just a huge misunderstanding.
01:01And I'm going to get you out of here right now.
01:03Okay.
01:03Okay.
01:08Okay.
01:09Get you out right now.
01:10Okay.
01:10There we go.
01:11Okay.
01:12Okay.
01:12I'm sorry.
01:13I'm sorry.
01:14I'm sorry.
01:16Did we, um, did we do anything?
01:21No.
01:21No.
01:22No.
01:22Nothing happened.
01:24I promise.
01:26Oh, God.
01:26I told you, um, I told you, oh, God, this is really hard to say.
01:32But last night I told you that Cynthia and John are having an affair.
01:48Um, are you sure?
01:55I caught them together.
01:58I'm so sorry.
02:05Can I stay here tonight?
02:17He slept in the guest room.
02:20I couldn't tell what he was thinking when we parted ways.
02:23So in the morning I left him a note, a number for a car service, and I went to the
02:28store.
02:31Now it's on him to decide.
02:34It's his choice.
02:41He'll probably never speak to me again.
02:45Maybe he'll call the police.
02:47I wouldn't blame him.
02:50It was a mistake.
02:52People make mistakes, and I made one.
03:22Hello?
03:24It's me.
03:26You okay?
03:29The door can stick.
03:31Uh, you better come around.
03:45I thought you'd left.
03:48Well, I just went for a walk.
03:52How are you feeling?
03:56That was the best sleep I've had in three years.
04:02Would you like coffee?
04:03I'd love some.
04:11You, uh, dropped your phone in the toilet last night.
04:16I-I could put it in some rice, or...
04:18A nice one, Vlad.
04:28Thanks.
04:36Is it not-not okay?
04:38It's the best coffee I've had in my entire life.
04:43I'm gonna do some journaling.
04:45Oh.
04:52He's still here.
05:07Hey, Bamwood.
05:08Mm-hmm.
05:19May I, um...
05:23Can I ask what your plan might be?
05:28Well...
05:28The way I see it...
05:31Cynthia got to run away.
05:32What?
05:34She left me with Fi.
05:35What?
05:35You mean when she tried to-
05:36Kill herself.
05:37Yes.
05:40You...
05:40You can't really call that running away.
05:41You know, she found something that I'd written about that day.
05:45And she made me throw it away.
05:47It was the first good thing I'd written since...
05:49Since my last book.
05:53Oh, she said it belonged to her.
05:57Right.
05:58And now she's fucking someone else!
06:01Sorry, but when she, um...
06:05You knew where she was.
06:07She doesn't know where you are.
06:08No, she kinda does.
06:11Basically.
06:12How?
06:15You told her.
06:19Yeah, you wrote her on my phone about needing time.
06:22What?
06:23I have my laptop with me.
06:27I saw the text messages on my computer.
06:30Yeah, you have a Wi-Fi next to the bed.
06:32Probably rentals, I guess.
06:34Oh, well, drunk.
06:35You must have, um, decided to-
06:37No, you wrote that.
06:39I didn't write that.
06:42I know I didn't.
06:46It's okay.
06:49It's interesting.
06:58Did you put something in my drink last night?
07:00I would never do something like that.
07:07I will leave you.
07:09Good, because I'm telling the truth.
07:16I'm gonna take out a boat.
07:17Bye.
07:18Bye.
07:20Bye.
07:29Bye.
07:47He wants to stay.
07:52Oh, for God.
08:05Hello.
08:06You answered.
08:07How's it going?
08:08It's a fucking farce.
08:10They say it'll be done by tonight.
08:12Are you mad at me?
08:13You know, I was thinking about it.
08:14And, um, making my wife sit by my side during my Title IX hearing.
08:20Just didn't feel like us.
08:23Right.
08:24As long as you're fucking riddled with guilt.
08:27You gonna tell me where you are?
08:29No.
08:29They're starting back up.
08:31I gotta go.
08:33You okay?
08:35Yeah, are you okay?
08:37No.
08:39You're very impressive.
08:49Oh, the kayak tipped.
08:50Oh, but you all right?
08:52Yeah, I'm fine.
08:53I just need to get out of those wet clothes and into a dry martini.
08:57It's from The Simpsons.
09:01Um, there are some pants of John's in the dresser.
09:04You don't like me like this?
09:09D.H. Lawrence is great.
09:11You forget.
09:12You think he's gonna be nuts, and then he's amazing.
09:15Oh, yes.
09:15The first line is something like, uh,
09:17Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically.
09:23Gosh, you're impressive.
09:24Oh, please.
09:25I just learned all those first lines so I can show off to boys like you.
09:28Oh, it's effective.
09:33Is that your new book?
09:37Oh, yeah.
09:40Do you like it?
09:42It's the best work I've ever done, but I'm still trying to figure out an ending.
09:48Do you want to write together?
09:51No.
09:53I'll go get my computer.
09:54Uh, well, where are your clothes? I can wash them.
09:57Uh, they are on the porch.
10:02The jeans can't go in the dryer.
10:07Oh.
10:10It's okay.
10:14He made me feel dirty.
10:18I dropped out of school shortly after.
10:22Did you ever alert the school about what had transpired?
10:25No.
10:26Why not?
10:28I was ashamed of myself.
10:31I thought professors were gods.
10:35I was just a townie kid.
10:38And all I had was being good at school.
10:45I don't want to ruin anyone's life.
10:48But I was so vulnerable back then and him doing that.
10:52It wasn't...
10:57Kind.
11:05You were in his wife's class?
11:09Yes.
11:09What was the nature of your relationship with her?
11:21Honestly, I didn't know her that well.
11:25She was a good teacher.
11:56You don't have to look down.
12:03Did you ever have an affair with a student?
12:06No. Yes.
12:09But he was a grad student.
12:11He was in his late 20s and I was in my early 30s.
12:17I was in my prime.
12:19Why are you still in your prime?
12:20Not in the same way.
12:21And he was, um, I was wild about him.
12:25Why?
12:25He made the most incredible eye contact.

21:22Don't get too close.
21:23Oh, I'm freezing.
21:28Are those my pants?
21:29Vlad has been staying in the guest room because he needed a little space, that's all.
21:33You don't have to lie.
21:34You're not allowed to say anything, right?
21:35Oh, I'm allowed to say exactly what I want.
21:36For any reason.
21:37But even more so, even more so, even more so, even more so, what about you and Cynthia?
21:42What?
21:43Cynthia?
21:45What?
21:46Hey, stop fucking laughing.
21:48I'm sorry.
21:49I can't help it.
21:49Friends, Cynthia is way above my pay grade.
21:53What?
21:54No.
21:54You said you caught them.
21:56Right?
21:57Caught us doing what?
21:57I did.
21:58I, I, I saw you together at some, at some, uh, you were with her.
22:05Yeah, well, unlike the two of you, we were not fucking.
22:11Cynthia's finishing her memoir and I'm writing an epic poem.
22:14Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
22:15So you, you, you weren't betraying you?
22:19No, sir.
22:23You said you saw them together.
22:26Well, I did.
22:26I, I thought I did.
22:27You were writing?
22:29You are not the only one that can write.
22:31At two o'clock in the morning.
22:32That's right.
22:32We take drugs and then we write.
22:35It's fun.
22:35What?
22:40What the hell is wrong with you?
22:41She's sober, you fuck.
22:43Cynthia can make her own choices.
22:44No, she can.
22:45You have no idea what she's doing.
22:47Stop.
22:49It was her idea.
22:50Of course it was, cause she's an addict.
22:52She bought them, I kept them.
22:53It's like half an Adderall.
22:55She's fine.
22:55Oh, you have no fucking clue, you moron.
22:57She just wants to get this book done and move out of that fucking condo so it can stop
23:01being about you all the time.
23:03When has it ever been about me?
23:15Can I borrow your phone?
23:17Why?
23:18To call my fucking wife.
23:20Oh.
23:21Yeah, sure.
23:24Tell her I said hi.
23:26Fuck you.
23:26Shut your fucking mouth.
23:44You want to know about the hearing?
23:45Yes.
23:49The complaints were dismissed.
23:51I won't teach again but I got to keep my pension so I won.
23:56You don't seem happy.
23:58I think it was a mistake to involve Sydney.
24:01She'll get over it.
24:02No, I think I fucked it up for a while.
24:05Okay.
24:08I had a thought.
24:12Maybe we revisit our agreement.
24:16What do you mean?
24:18We're not getting any younger.
24:20We could recommit.
24:24I mean, isn't this all starting to feel a little sad?
24:29After you're finished, of course.
24:32What did she say?
24:36She said that you help her feel like a normal human.
24:46I don't know.
24:49Well, I'm going to bed.
24:55Okay.
25:11You want to know what I want?
25:13What?
25:20I want you to meet me here once a week.
25:28Say you will.
25:53You inspire me.
26:05There was a time in my life when that was the most exciting thing that someone could say to me.
26:20I'm just getting my notebooks.
26:24Should I change the sheets?
26:28It might be wise.
26:30Was it everything you wanted?
26:32John.
26:33It's the best feeling though, isn't it?
26:35What?
26:37Desire.
26:38I thought it was about desire, but it's not about that as much as...
26:43What?
26:44What the desire did.
26:46It was invigorating.
26:48It gave me this.
26:50Got your groove back.
26:51Jesus.
26:52She's still got it.
26:53John, please.
26:55So what's it about?
26:58I'll...
27:01I'll let you read it when it's published.
27:03Think it'll sell?
27:04I think it could give me a whole new life.
27:07You want a whole new life?
27:08I want choices, I want options, I want...
27:11Power?
27:12I think the kids call it agency.
27:17Are you...
27:20Coming to bed?
27:23I don't know.
27:26You don't like that ending?
27:37It has recently come to my attention that...
27:40Both Vladimir and John are thinking of me as a character in their own story.
27:47And they both have an idea about how it's gonna play out.
27:53But there are forces beyond anyone's control.
28:01A fire breaks out when we're asleep.
28:05Just like in a gothic novel.
28:08As though that obsession, that thrill of desire...
28:13Goes up in flames.
28:15Wake up!
28:16John!
28:17Wake up!
28:19Get up!
28:19There's a fire!
28:20Get up!
28:21Oh shit, what happened?
28:23Shit!
28:24Fucking door is stuck!
28:25Get out of the fucking way!
28:26And...
28:26I understand...
28:28Get out of the way!
28:29I got it!
28:30Get away!
28:32Get away!
28:34Then I have to make a choice.
28:36Get out of the fucking way!
28:41Get out of the fucking way!
28:45Wait, wait, wait! Where are you going?
28:50Wait!
28:50Wait!
28:51Wait!
28:51Stop!
28:51What are you doing?
28:52Wait!
28:58A whole new life.
29:13And this is how it plays out.
29:17I finish my book about a woman's obsession with her younger colleague.
29:23Vlad writes a book about a tender affair with an older professor.
29:28Mine does much better.
29:30It speaks to a certain... need.
29:35Don't worry.
29:36I call 911.
29:38Everybody gets out.
29:47You don't believe me?
29:50Why are men great till they gotta be great?
29:54Woo!
29:55I just took a DNA test.
29:58Turns out I'm a hundred percent that bitch.
30:01Even when I'm crying crazy.
30:02Yeah, I got boy problems.
30:04That's a human in me.
30:05Bling, bling.
30:06Then I saw them.
30:07That's the goddess in me.
30:08You coulda had a bad bitch.
30:10Not committal.
30:11Help you with your career.
30:13Just a little.
30:14You're supposed to hold me down.
30:16But you're holding me back.
30:17And that's the sound of me not calling you back.
30:21Why are men great till they gotta be great?
30:24Don't text me and tell it straight to my face.
30:27Best friends set me down and look for lunch here.
30:30Shampoo press get you out of my hair.
30:33Fresh photos with the bomb lighting.
30:36New man on the Minnesota Vikings.
30:40True verse needed something more exciting.
30:42Bumb bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb few.
