00:15I started dancing at nine years old.
00:19It started with a free after-school ballet class
00:21and quickly became my obsession.
00:27My greatest advantage as a dancer was my tolerance for pain.
00:31It was a daily reality in my life already
00:34and a small price to pay for transcendence.
00:38You learn to withstand the pressure of 12 times your weight
00:42balanced on the tips of your toes,
00:44to create the illusion of walking on air,
00:47to maintain that graceful, effortless performance,
00:50even when things feel almost unbearable.
01:04You sleep okay, honey?
01:06Not really.
01:09Did you crash on the couch?
01:11No, guest room.
01:13I had meetings running late.
01:15I didn't want to wake you.
01:24Can you help me with this?
01:26Yeah.
01:33I'm going to be done around six
01:34if you want to eat dinner together.
01:36I have meetings until late,
01:39so do it without me.
01:41There.
01:45First day jitters have me a little bit nauseous.
01:48Over the volunteer thing?
01:54I'm creative consultants to the entire production.
01:57Yeah.
01:59Weighing in on set design,
02:01costumes,
02:02sitting in the rehearsals.
02:04Mm-hmm.
02:08You think investments are tricky?
02:10Try getting an experimental ballet on its feet.
02:13Mm-hmm.
02:22Yes, you don't?
02:23An entire liter in two days?
02:25I have enough shit to deal with
02:27without you hammering me.
02:31Just drop it, please.
02:39All I'm asking for is time.
02:42Just one hour
02:43with that therapist that I mentioned.
02:45Sure.
02:46Okay.
02:47I'll try to get something on the books.
02:48I really need to get this over to Kit
02:50before the meeting starts.
02:53Let me know when you're ready to talk.
02:54Let me know when you're ready to talk.

03:21Let me know when you're ready to talk.
04:06Thank you so much for giving him a ride.
04:08Hi.
04:08Our Saab is in the shop for the fourth time this year.
04:11Oh.
04:12Should be back today sometime.
04:13How many coffees have you had this morning?
04:15I don't think four, maybe five.
04:17But I've been up since 5am.
04:18I wrote two chapters this week.
04:19Did you sign up for the writers workshop?
04:21Yeah, and so far it's just six retired boomers at the South Pass Public Library.
04:25But it gives me some structure.
04:27I love it.
04:27That is great.
04:28You look amazing.
04:29Really?
04:29Yeah, this is very professional.
04:31Knock on wood, maybe I can spin it into something more permanent.
04:34You know, consult on a few other shows.
04:37Great, great.
04:38Would they pay you?
04:38I mean, possibly.
04:40No, no, I just, I don't know what's gonna happen there.
04:43I gotta be ready.
04:44Ready for what?
04:45I don't know anything.
04:48You and Robert still?
04:50I mean, I've gotten a few full sentences out of him here and there, but...
04:55Well, look, it's only been a few weeks, right, since the party?
04:58So, things might still be a little raw.
05:01He'll come around.
05:03Arkea, let the games of Mount Olympus begin.
05:06Hi, Howard.
05:07Here you go.
05:08Hi, Nancy.
05:09Okay, have fun.
05:12Bye.
05:12Hey, thank you.
05:14I know, Howard needed this, but I may have needed it more.
05:17Have a good day, okay?
05:19Have fun, you guys.
05:21In all my years of friendship with Mary, I hadn't spent any time alone with her husband.
05:26I hadn't missed much.
05:27My phone's good.
05:28Oh, you know what?
05:30I'm just gonna add my phone, just so that I've got this great Stravinsky.
05:33I loved Mary.
05:34I just wasn't in the headspace to babysit anyone's underemployed husband.
05:48Thank you, Bonnie.
05:50Thank you, dancers, musicians, technical artists, and all of our magnificent crew.
05:55Now, before we dive into rehearsal, I want you to take a moment, turn to the person next
06:01to you, and introduce yourselves.
06:03Helga, you're a costume designer.
06:05Yes, I'm Nancy Hennessy.
06:07I loved your work on Waves last season.
06:09It was really beautiful.
06:10For the next eight weeks until opening night, this is your family.
06:15Now, before we wrap this up, there's one person I'd like to introduce, Metro Ballet board member
06:21and creative consultant for this show, Nancy Hennessy.
06:26Thanks, Bill.
06:28Ariadne is the company's most complex ballet yet, which is appropriate for the complex times
06:34that we're living in, and I'm so happy to be on this journey with all of you.
06:37And I'd like to introduce Howard Simpson, a classics scholar and...
06:43And close friend.
06:44...and friend, whose program notes will provide the audience with essential historical context.
06:51Now, when Phil recruited me for this project, I paused by Herculaneum Papyri translation sabbatical.
06:57As you may or may not know, Ariadne derives from the Greek for most holy or most pure.
07:05Thank you, David.
07:06Howard.
07:07All right.
07:08Thank you so much.
07:08Let's get to work, everybody.
07:11Nice to meet you in your studio.
07:15Hey, Nancy.
07:16Um, do you know what the lunch situation is?
07:19Ugh, I don't.
07:20No, sorry.
07:23Hey, Bill.
07:24Excuse me.
07:25I'd love your opinion on something.
07:27I was just thinking about the, um, color palette for the costumes.
07:30I know that in your more recent work you've used a more monochromatic black leotard look,
07:35but I thought we could do something a little more innovative this year.
07:39Interesting.
07:39So I've been researching textiles with the ability to reflect light, color, even take projections.
07:47I was thinking maybe I could elevate the look of the show.
07:50Why don't you make me a lookbook and we'll take it from there.
07:52Okay, great.
07:53Just give me a few days.
07:54Okay.
08:08It had been 25 years since I stepped foot in a dance studio.
08:15Returning to ballet required all of my emotional reserves.
08:21Memories lingered in rehearsal rooms.
08:25Young, pliant bodies.
08:27The expanse of the stage.
08:35It was harder than I thought it would be.
08:41I have seen it with Robert's group of friends before.
08:43One minute Alana Berkov is showing off her new stack of Cartier bracelets and the next she is selling them
08:50for food.
08:51Okay, I need you to breathe.
08:53Honestly.
08:54Like, really take a breath.
08:56I think you're jumping to conclusions.
09:00From where I'm sitting, the drinking, the fighting with his family, that is, that's more of a midlife crisis than
09:06divorce.
09:07Wealthy families divide assets for so many reasons.
09:11You just have to talk to him about it.
09:13Every time I see him passed out on the couch.
09:17Or...
09:22Every time I find an empty bottle, it's like my childhood nightmare playing on a loop.
09:27Like, part of me thinks we will get through anything, right?
09:32But then the louder part of me is like, fuck it.
09:35If you can't control your life, then you might as well just...
09:40I don't know.
09:42Nancy, can I give you some real advice?
09:47Yeah.
09:49You have to listen to that quieter voice.
09:54I know that Robert's drinking is ripping open old wounds, but in reality, this man thinks that your armpits smell
10:04like honeysuckle and rainbows.
10:06He worships you.
10:08He is not leaving you.
10:13You're right.
10:15I'm just, I'm spinning.
10:19It's ironic that we're talking about this right now.
10:22I just commissioned this piece of art for our anniversary.
10:26If we make it that far.
10:27Oh my God, you are going to make it that far.
10:30Those vows are till death do you part.
10:33He's not going anywhere.
10:49I loved the piece you did with Georgia Leonard.
10:53I do a lot of business with Georgia.
10:56Did she tell you she commissioned a portrait of her dogs?
11:04I was hoping we could do something a little less safe.
11:12I haven't stopped looking at this piece. Who is she?
11:16A poet.
11:18We met at a party.
11:20Did you sleep together?
11:21She left an impression.
11:24Please.
11:26Take a seat.
11:32Take a seat.
11:32She left a seat.
11:33Tick.
11:33Tick.
11:39It's sexier.
11:42Well, you can see my scars.
11:46Why not? I like them.
11:49They're a part of you. They tell your story.
11:52A story that I'd like to forget.
11:55I thought you said you wanted less safe.
11:59Well, I see them every day. I look in the mirror.
12:01I don't think I need to capture them for posterity.
12:05So then you do want a safe?
12:08I'm not sure what I want anymore.
12:14Go ahead. We'll reset when you're done.
12:18Excuse me.
12:24The messages from Scott were frightening enough.
12:27What was even worse was that I had asked for them.
12:30That there was something inside me that made me go back and touch that flame.
12:36Even though it had burned me so badly.
12:39Everything okay?
12:42Yeah.
12:50I'm ready.
12:53I'm ready.
12:54I'm ready.
13:07I'm ready.
13:22I think you're looking for this.
13:23Oh.
13:25I saw your notebook was filling up.
13:28It's nothing much.
13:29Thanks, Howard.
13:31Okay.
13:33Does he still call you David?
13:34He's called me Louise twice this week.
13:36He calls me something different every time.
13:41It's what you'd expect from a champion snowblower like that.
13:44What?
13:44Wait, Phil?
13:46I think all that devil's hands are if it's perforated his brain.
13:52Anyway, glad you like it.
13:55Great, everyone.
13:56Let's bring it in.
14:48I wondered if maybe I was wrong about Howard.
14:51If my dismissiveness had more to do with me than anything about him.
15:18It started to feel inevitable that we would forge our own friendship.
15:36There it is.
15:37Okay.
15:38That's good, everyone.
15:39Let's call for the day.
15:42Wow.
15:43Half-day rehearsal.
15:44I hardly know what to do with myself.
15:45And now I've got four hours to kill before I pick up the girls.
15:50Does it make me a bad father if I want to catch the 35 millimeter print of red shoes?
15:56You're welcome to join.
15:57Oh, this dripped on me.
15:59I'm just going to go clean it off.
16:00Okay, go ahead.
16:01I'll wait.
16:02Okay.
16:03Hey, Phil.
16:04Great rehearsal.
16:05See you tomorrow, Louise.
16:07It's Nancy.
16:08I can't see.
16:10I can't see.
16:11I can't see.
16:13I can't see.
16:25Wait.
16:34I can't see.
16:52What's wrong?
16:53It's nothing.
16:55Nancy, it's okay. You can tell me.
16:59Phil threw away this lookbook that I made.
17:03It's pathetic that I thought he cared about my ideas as much as he cares about my money.
17:07That gold-plated prick wouldn't have a job without your money.
17:11It's not even my money. It's Robert's.
17:14You don't really believe that.
17:15Well, his family never misses an opportunity to remind me.
17:20I don't know how all that money stuff works.
17:23My father was confined to a wheelchair with MS.
17:26We were always strapped.
17:28I would get so resentful.
17:30And he would say,
17:32people like us have something those people will never have.
17:37Pride of accomplishment.
17:39The fact that you made it from Bakersfield to become a creative consultant of a world-renowned ballet company,
17:47that's an enviable achievement.
17:50Robert calls it my volunteer thing.
17:54All due respect, your husband is a trust fund Philistine.
17:57What you've done is impressive.
18:01Thanks for that.
18:04What time was that movie?
18:09Is that the point?
18:10Yes.
18:11Vicky chose obsession over all else.
18:14Love, food, sleep.
18:17And it was that choice that led to her inevitable destruction.
18:21Do we really choose our compulsions?
18:22Or are they hardwired into us?
18:25I don't think she could stop even if she wanted to.
18:28That's what makes it a tragedy.
18:31You know, I always thought you bought into the whole trophy wife shtick.
18:36But, you know, beyond the perfect bone structure and the watch worth more than my mortgage,
18:41there is so much more that meets the eye.
18:43Well, that is the sweetest backhanded compliment I have ever received.
18:48And I admire the hypocrisy of your bacon-eating veganism.
18:53And you're a rational loathing of e-books.
18:55If I can't touch it, I refuse to read it.
19:00Hello.
19:01Nancy.
19:05You need to stop calling me.
19:07Why do you keep playing these games?
19:08You found me.
19:10No.
19:12No, I was curious.
19:14And in a stupid, weak moment, I looked you up.
19:19You need to leave me the fuck alone.
19:21I do.
19:25Hey, sorry.
19:29That looked intense?
19:32Yeah.
19:33Is it something you want to talk about?
19:35Um, it's just someone from my past, complicated and twisted and in the worst way imaginable.
19:46I've had my fair share of those.
19:49Yeah.
19:49God, you're trembling.
19:53Um, you know Mary invited us over to your house for dinner?
19:57Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
19:59Can we just keep this conversation between us, um, you know, about the calls?
20:03I just, uh, I haven't, I haven't spoken to Robert about it.
20:08Of course.
20:09Don't say a word.
20:11Okay.
20:17Uh, two cappuccino, please.
20:19Name for the order?
20:20David.
20:35I've been doing just fine, fine, fine, yeah, yeah, I've been doing just fine, fine, fine.
20:49Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've been doing just fine.
20:53Yay!
20:55Excellent.
20:56Fantastic.
20:57That was fantastic.
20:58We got to book her to one of our parties, okay?
21:00We're going to book you.
21:01We're going to book you.
21:02Go do your homework.
21:02Start with your spelling.
21:03That was amazing, sweetie.
21:05I got it.
21:05I got it.
21:06Sweet.
21:07How's the ballet going?
21:08Great.
21:09Great.
21:09Yeah, so far.
21:10Yeah, if you don't factor in the insufferable pomposity of the nasal hoovering director.
21:15Ha, ha, nasal hoovering.
21:17Who are we talking about?
21:19Uh, the Phil, the artistic director, he's...
21:23That ass, but enough about him.
21:24You two relax, retire to the living room, let the men handle the dishes.
21:36Oh, my God, I'm so tired.
21:38Yeah?
21:38Sleep has just become a bit of a luxury these days, between Howard's, you know, job search
21:45and everything that's going on with Marcus.
21:47Well, I think that Howard is going to get a full-time job soon.
21:50Spending the small amount of time that I've spent with him, he's so smart.
21:54Are you wearing your clatter ring again?
21:56Aw, it looks beautiful.
21:57Well, you told me it would be my grounding force, right?
22:01It is.
22:02Oh, well, well, well.
22:04Look at who's wearing Mommy's good shoes.
22:07Please be careful with those.
22:09Especially if the stare is honey.
22:11Hey, babe, I think we should head home.
22:13They're going to put the kids to sleep.
22:15No, let me tell Mary and Howard this one thing.
22:18We're all ears.
22:19So, this friend of mine, Jay Michaels, actually, he's a friend of my family's.
22:24He's kind of a dick, but he's really fucking smart.
22:27Baby, let's just head home.
22:28Hang on.
22:29These are our friends, babe, and they need our help.
22:32We're fine.
22:32So, Jay is a criminal defense attorney,
22:35and he owes me a big one.
22:38And Nance told me that Marcus has a court date coming up.
22:41So, why don't I just have Jay represent him totally free?
22:45Oh, my God.
22:47Well, that's Robert.
22:48As generous as that sounds, we're going to have to decline.
22:51Well, Howard, you should talk about that.
22:54Freeload off your friends to protect our son.
22:56I'll find another way.
22:58Thank you, Howard.
22:59It's not freeloading.
23:00It's a gift.
23:01You know, he owes me.
23:02I told you.
23:03Babe, let's just respect their boundaries on this one.
23:06Oh, my God, Nance.
23:08Respect their boundaries?
23:09Do you realize how stupid you're sounding right now?
23:15Come on.
23:16I'm sorry.
23:17Come on.
23:18I was just trying to help.
23:19Oh, I'm so sensitive.
23:30It's not my place, but that was totally uncalled for.
23:34Is it a good idea for you to be alone with him tonight?
23:40Yeah, I'll be fine.
23:45Nance, Robert's about to get in the car.
23:47Yeah, I should take him home.
23:49I'll see you at time rehearsal.
23:51Okay.
24:06Hey.
24:07Hey, I thought you left.
24:08I forgot my bag.
24:10I'm just finishing up the program copy.
24:13Do you mind taking a look at this passage before I press send?
24:16Sure.
24:18You're the expert, not me.
24:19I don't know if I captured the right tone.
24:23You scroll down.
24:25Let me get there.
24:27Add a line that says he's pushing the limits of ballet
24:32with angular staccato movement
24:36and the physicality is creating an intense intimacy between the dancers.
24:41You just came up with that.
24:43Yeah, I was a very serious dancer.
24:46Serious enough to be recruited by the San Francisco Ballet when I was 16.
24:49But I never did end up making it.
24:51And it was a million years ago.
24:54But I feel like if you do that, then you'd be golden.
25:05done.
25:09Look, I really have to thank you.
25:13more than just the gainful employment.
25:17I've made a great friend.
25:19Well, don't get too sentimental.
25:21You are my best friend's husband.
25:23I will be seeing you.
25:24Yeah, I know, I know.
25:25But it's been nice spending time with such a thoughtful, intelligent person.
25:29You and Nancy Hennessy have been superb company.
25:33That's very kind, thank you.
25:37Um, I was actually going to treat myself to this stellar bottle of wine.
25:43Obviously, I cannot share it with Robert.
25:46So, would you like to...
25:53This is a 98 Pomerol Bordeaux.
25:57Louise, it would be criminal to drink this by yourself.
26:00Are you sure you don't have to get back to Mare and the kids?
26:02This might be the house red in your household, but this is some good shit.
26:08And like the Bacchae, we will savor every drop of this bold-bodied liquid ecstasy
26:15and worship the god of the 13th century BCE Linear B tablet.
26:22What is a B tablet?
26:25The Mycenaean artifact where Dionysus first appeared, obviously.
26:30And apropos of Dionysus also being the god of insanity,
26:34here's to the chaos and the madness.
26:38Now, this should really be decanted.
26:40Let's see.
26:54I think I'm actually quite good at this.
26:56I might actually be a prodigy.
27:00Oh, God.
27:02That's so...
27:03Everyone thinks they can dance.
27:04No one knows how hard...
27:05Come on and show me.
27:06I know it.
27:07I mean, it's first position, second position.
27:11No, you've got to extend that arm more.
27:13I am.
27:14You're looking at a man with the most unfashionable rotator cuff injury.
27:17This is as far as it goes.
27:19Oh, God sakes.
27:20No.
27:20Try it again.
27:22I'll show you.
27:23Okay.
27:24Ow!
27:25Oh!
27:26Are you okay?
27:27Ow!
27:27Oh, my God.
27:28Don't move.
27:29Don't move.
27:29Don't move.
27:29I got you.
27:30Ah!
27:31Ow!
27:33Take the wheel.
27:36Ow!
27:36I heard it...
27:36Oh, God!
27:39...for the swelling.
27:41Thanks.
27:42For the pain.
27:44Nice.
27:55So why did you stop answering?
27:59You want the short answer or the long answer?
28:02Let's start with the short.
28:03A car accident.
28:07What's the long?
28:12Well...
28:16When I give you my answer, you're going to think I'm fucked up in the head.
28:20Try me.
28:23My mom, she was furious with me, and rightfully so.
28:30She was driving, speeding, and I begged her to stop.
28:35But she wouldn't...
28:37I guess the usual drunken slap wasn't going to cut it this time, not after what I did.
28:43And what did you do?
28:47I fucked her boyfriend.
28:50You mean he assaulted you?
28:53After my mom would pass out drunk, he would take me to the car, or my closet, or wherever.
29:00That mystery caller, that's him?
29:03Scott.
29:07You want to know something crazy?
29:09I'm the one that reached out to him this time.
29:14I don't know why I did that.
29:16I think you do.
29:19You're a fire starter.
29:22That's your true nature.
29:23You run into the burning building right before it collapses.
29:30But you have to hide it behind all this...
29:34respectability.
29:38Robert's good little wife.
29:40I bet he has no idea.
29:44I did start to like it.
29:49The danger.
29:52Not knowing if we were going to get caught.
29:57And the attention.
29:58I never had that before.
30:00Yeah, you wanted that.
30:03I needed it.
30:13Some crashes you can see coming.
30:16There's time to brace for impact.
30:18Revere off course.
30:20But some crashes send you hurtling through space at such velocity that there's nothing you can do to change your
30:26fate.
30:29No.
30:49There's even a constant recession.
30:50No.
30:50No.
31:24So, the judge agreed to put Marcus in a diversion program if he commits to Gamblers Anonymous,
31:30and then he does community service, which is good news.
31:33Yeah.
31:38Because he's going to get the help that he needs.
31:41He's not going to have a permanent day on his record, and that's so and so bad.
31:44I don't feel good.
31:45I'm going to go home.
31:46What's wrong?
31:46Nancy?
31:49Are you?
31:49Should I?
31:50Yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:51I'll be right back.
31:51Hey, Nancy?
31:55Nance?
31:55What is that?
31:56I'm sorry.
31:56I want to be there for Mary.
31:58I just have too much going on right now.
32:02What are you?
32:02With Robert?
32:05I did something so stupid.
32:08Stupid how?
32:11I slept with someone.
32:14Please don't tell Mary.
32:16I don't think she would understand.
32:17Nancy, I...
32:19Are you having an affair?
32:24With who?
32:26Doesn't matter.
32:27It's no one you know.
32:28Okay.
32:28His name is David.
32:29It's not going to happen again.
32:31Okay.
32:32I have to go.
32:33Yo, can you call me?
32:34Okay.
32:34Okay.
32:43Hey, honey.
32:45Where are you going?
32:47I'm rushing to make a flight.
32:49Wait.
32:49Why didn't I know about this?
32:51I just found out about it myself.
32:53It's a 9-1-1 emergency.
32:55They need my help closing a deal
32:56before the restructuring gets finalized.
32:58I'm meeting with the New York lawyers
33:00first thing tomorrow.
33:01I feel like I'm losing my mind.
33:03What?
33:04Why?
33:05There's nothing to worry about.
33:06Of course I'm worried.
33:08You have time to fly across the country
33:10at the drop of a hat,
33:10but you don't have time to talk to me
33:12or to set a time with a counselor?
33:15I'll make time for everything
33:16when I get back on Monday.
33:17Monday?
33:18You're going for a week?
33:22It's not like I want to leave.
33:25Then don't!
33:26I have to.
33:28Are you divorcing me?
33:38Stop worrying.
33:40I love you.
33:45We'll talk when I get back.
34:11Hey.
34:12Can we meet?
34:14Can we meet?
34:18I am a monster
34:20A feline, a queen
34:25Angelic majestic
34:28Little old me
34:30I am a giant
34:34I am a giant
34:37I am a fly
34:38Zion within me
34:41I am I
34:44Never, never look back
34:49Never, never look back
34:54Never, never, never look back
34:56Never, never, never, never
35:06Never, never, never
35:09Never, never, never, never
35:13I am a goddess
35:16A fool, a fake
35:21I am your mother
35:24I am your mother
35:25Your sister a snake
35:28I am a dreamer
35:32Staring that star
35:35I'm looking at you, baby
35:38You know who you are
35:43Never, never, never, never
35:47Never, never, never, never
35:49Never, never, never, never
35:54Never, never, never, never
35:54Never, never, never, never
35:54Never, never, never
35:54Never, never, never
35:55Never, never, never
35:55Never, never, never
35:56Never, never, never
35:57Never, never, never
35:57Never, never, never
36:09Never, never, never
36:10Oh
36:50Yeah, that's good.
36:55Hey.
36:58Hey.
36:59How was the trip?
37:02Fine.
37:05Um, I was hoping we could sit down tonight and talk.
37:09We-we're joining family dinner tonight.
37:12Yeah.
37:13I'm just gonna hop in the shower.
37:24They said it was futile.
37:25Jude's too far gone.
37:27Time to let her go.
37:29But, uh, your obstinate father wouldn't listen.
37:32No price was too great to pay to bring her back to life.
37:35This summer, we bid fair winds and following seas
37:38to Demeter's wish.
37:39The old gal is ready to cast off.
37:43Son.
37:44Yes, sir?
37:44Our champagne glasses need refilling.
37:46Right away.
37:47I shouldn't have to ask.
37:50That's incredible news, Daddy.
37:53It almost wasn't, thanks to Bobby's colossal fuck-up.
37:56Not here.
37:57Please.
37:58Why not?
37:59That's why we're celebrating.
38:00The SEC is off our backs,
38:02thanks to Harlan's clever maneuvering.
38:04I'm always happy to be of service.
38:07We managed to survive a bloodbath by the skin of our teeth.
38:10I, uh, think it's cause to celebrate.
38:14Babe, what's he talking about?
38:15What fuck?
38:18I thought you were gonna tell her when you got home, Bobby.
38:21I haven't had time.
38:23No?
38:24Well, allow me.
38:25Bobby convinced Daddy to sink 20% of our holdings
38:28into acquiring a company
38:29that was nothing but a steaming pile of debt.
38:32And the only way that we were able to avoid
38:35the nightmare of a lawsuit
38:37was to have Bobby use his portion of the trust
38:40to pay off our investors.
38:42Is that true?
38:44Sometimes you just gotta rip off the Band-Aid, Bobby.
38:46His name that he uses in his adult life is Robert.
38:52Let's go.
38:52Let's go.
38:53Let's go.
38:57Let's go.
39:09Let's go.
39:11Let's go.
39:34Oh, sweetheart.
39:41I've lost.
39:42I fucked up, Nance.
39:46I really fucked up.
39:51I'm gonna fuck up.
39:54They're right about that.
39:57Everything changes now.
39:59All our expenses.
40:02My father will control the house,
40:07the cars, your parties.
40:11Everything goes through him.
40:15Is that all that this is about?
40:17Money?
40:17So, uh, I know this isn't what you signed up for,
40:22so I want you to know that if you decide to leave me,
40:27I understand.
40:28I want you to know that if you want you to leave me.
40:31I would have you want to leave you?
40:33You're the most important person in the world to me.
40:37Because I read that email about separation of assets, I...
40:44That was to protect you.
40:48You're divorcing me to protect me?
40:50I needed to stash your settlement money in an offshore account so my father couldn't get to it.
40:57You deserve protection.
41:03I don't want a divorce.
41:05I want you.
41:05But the man who rescued you, I'm not that guy anymore.
41:12Your money did not rescue me.
41:14You can't say that.
41:16Yes, I can.
41:17I can.
41:19I've been living without your love for three months now and I'm...
41:25a total mess.
41:27I don't care about it.
41:28Your dad can take it.
41:29I just want you.
41:32So sorry.
41:35I really let the drinking get out of hand.
41:39I fucked that up too.
41:42Look at you.
41:45How strong you are.
41:46No.
41:47Yeah.
42:02I'm never gonna let you go.
42:22No.
42:23No.
42:35No.
43:40You haven't answered my calls in days.
43:46You can toss the burner phone. We both need to move on.
43:49Two weeks ago, you and I were fucking in the backseat of your Range Rover.
43:52The day before that, we fucked in the dressing room, and the day before that, it was wherever you told
43:57me to be.
43:57It was a mistake. I was in a bad place in my marriage. It never should have happened.
44:02I deserve more consideration than this. I risked everything for you.
44:05I never asked you to.
44:06No, you just seduced me, then treated me like one of your house servants that serves at the ring of
44:10a bell.
44:10Okay, if you need to blame me to make yourself feel better, that's fine. But we need to move on.
44:15You don't get to decide that.
44:17Let go of my arm, or I promise this won't end well for you.
44:24Maybe I owe it to Robert to tell him about us.
44:29He's a good man.
44:33He deserves enough to be married.
44:37You really think he would believe I'd sleep with you?
44:41No one ever would.
44:55I'm so happy that you didn't hate it.
44:58That I what?
44:59That you didn't hate it.
45:00Oh, I loved it. I loved everything about it.
45:03The dancing, and the clothes.
45:07Costumes?
45:08The costumes, yeah. It was beautiful.
45:09This was my chance to course-correct and avoid catastrophe.
45:14I had to tell Robert the truth.
45:16All of it.
45:17And believe that he would still love me.
45:23Hey.
45:28Phone.
45:42Honey.
45:44Honey.
45:44Honey, I have to tell you something.
45:47Who sent this to you?
45:51I don't know.
45:54I don't know.
45:56No, I can't.
45:57You're lying.
46:00Who is he?
46:03No one.
46:04He was a mistake.
46:06A mistake that you fucked in the backseat of your car?
46:09Please, please, can't we just talk about it?
46:10This whole time I've been torturing myself with guilt.
46:13I'm sorry.
46:13It's painful.
46:14It's fucking time.
46:15I can't believe this.
46:16I can't believe this.
46:17Stop.
46:18Stop.
46:19Stop.
46:20Stop.
46:20He did this.
46:22Hey.
46:22Mom.
46:22Get back here.
46:30I'm sorry.
46:31I'm sorry.
46:32I'm sorry.
46:33I'm sorry.
46:35I'm sorry.
46:35I'm sorry.
46:39I'm sorry.
46:43I'm sorry.
46:48I'm sorry.
46:54I'm sorry.
46:57I'm sorry.
46:57I'm sorry.
46:58I'm sorry.
46:58I'm sorry.
46:58I'm sorry.
46:58I'm sorry.
46:58I'm sorry.
47:00I'm sorry.
