Transcript
00:15What the fuck am I tied to a chair?
00:20What the fuck?
00:22Oh, God.
00:25How am I?
00:26How the fuck do you think I am?
00:27What did you do to me?
00:30Vlad, I'm sorry.
00:32You might want to be dominated just to try it, but then nothing happened because I myself
00:39was a huge misunderstanding, and I'm going to get you out of here right now.
00:43Okay.
00:44Okay?
00:48I'm sorry.
00:49I'm sorry.
00:50I'm sorry.
00:53Did we, um...
00:55I promise.
00:58Oh, God.
00:58I told you, um, I told you, oh, God, this is royal.
01:04Cynthia and John are having an affair.
01:15Are you sure?
01:17Are you sure?
01:25Can I stay here tonight?
01:33He slept in the guest room.
01:35So in the morning, I left him a note, a number for a car service, and I went to the
01:40store.
01:43Now it's...
01:49I'll probably never speak to me again, but I wouldn't blame him.
01:54It was a mistake.
01:55Like, people make mistakes, and I'm...
02:15I'm...
02:16It's me.
02:18You okay?
02:19You okay?
02:21The door can stick.
02:23Uh, you better come...
02:32Well, I just went for a walk.
02:36How...
02:36How are you feeling?
02:40Oh.
02:42Would you like coffee?
02:43I'd love some.
02:47You, uh, dropped your phone in the toilet last night.
02:52I could put it in some rice or...
02:54A nice one, Vlad.
03:00Thanks.
03:04Is it not...
03:05not okay?
03:07It's the best coffee I've had in my entire life.
03:16He's still here.
03:27Hey, bummer.
03:35Ask what your plan might be.
03:40Well, the way I see it, Cynthia got...
03:44And when she tried to...
03:44Kill herself.
03:45Yes.
03:48You...
03:48You can't really call that running away.
03:50No, she found something that I'd written about that day.
03:52Good thing I've written since...
03:53Since my last book.
03:56Oh, she said it belonged to her.
03:59Else?
04:01Sorry, but when she, um...
04:05You knew where she was.
04:07She doesn't know where...
04:08How?
04:11You told her.
04:15Yeah, you wrote her on...
04:16I have my laptop with me.
04:19I saw the text messages on my computer.
04:22Yeah, you have a Wi-Fi next to...
04:24I just have, um...
04:25Decided to...
04:25No, you wrote that.
04:27I didn't write that.
04:30I know I didn't.
04:33It's interesting.
04:39Right.
04:40I would never do something like that.
04:46I will leave you.
04:52I'm gonna take out a boat.
05:11Hey.
05:25Hello.
05:26You answered.
05:27How's it?
05:28Are you mad at me?
05:29You know, I was thinking about it.
05:30And, um...
05:31Making my wife sit by my side...
05:33During my Title IX hearing.
05:36Right.
05:36As long as you're fucking riddled with guilt.
05:39You gonna tell me where you are?
05:41No.
05:41They're starting back up.
05:43I gotta...
05:44Are you okay?
05:45Yeah.
05:47You're very impressive.
05:53Oh, the kayak tipped.
05:54Oh, but you alright?
05:56Yeah, I'm fine.
05:57I just need to get out of those wet clothes and into a dry martini.
06:01And there are some pants of John's in the dresser.
06:04You don't like me like this.
06:07You forget.
06:08You think he's gonna be nuts, and then he's amazing.
06:11Oh, yes.
06:11The first line is something like, uh...
06:13Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we ref...
06:16Oh, please.
06:17I just learned all those first lines so I can show off to boys like you.
06:20Oh, it's effective.
06:25Oh.
06:26Yeah.
06:28Do you like it?
06:30It's the best work I've ever...
06:32Do you wanna write together?
06:35No.
06:37I'll go get my computer.
06:39Uh, well, where are your...
06:40Shh.
06:42The jeans can't go in the dryer.
06:50He made me feel dirty.
06:54I dropped out of school.
06:56What would have transpired?
06:57No.
06:58Why not?
07:00I was ashamed of myself.
07:03I was just a townie kid.
07:06And all I...
07:07had was being good at school.
07:12But I was so vulnerable back then, and him doing that.
07:18It wasn't...
07:26You were in his wife's class?
07:27Yes.
07:37She was a good teacher.
07:39Uh...
08:03Uh...
08:04Now...
08:04Did you ever have an affair with a student?
08:05No. He was in his late 20s and I was in my early 30s. I was in my prime.
08:15Why are you still in your prime?
08:16I told about him.
08:17Why?
08:19He made the most incredible eye contact.
08:58So now we just see what happens, right?
09:00Uh, Lexus is on her way.
09:02We're gonna head back to the city.
09:04You don't need me for that part.
09:17It's been so long since anybody's cooked.
09:20I enjoyed it.
09:22Today was productive.
09:24I wrote 12 pages.
09:26I'm so glad.
09:29Sure.
09:31So how long do you think John and Cynthia have been at it?
09:34I really did.
10:01I did something bad.
10:06I didn't end in my trouble.
10:08My trouble.
10:12Excuse me.
10:25I... I... I am... I'm so sorry.
10:28Oh, God, don't be sorry. Please.
10:31I don't want to act out your high school fantasy of some pervy older woman.
10:36I... that... I... that's not what I want. I thought that's what you wanted.
10:38I don't.
10:39I don't.
10:40Well, I want...
10:40Just don't try to make me happy.
10:49I... make it all up.
10:53What?
10:55Oh.
10:56I'm ready for bed.
10:59Should I join you?
11:19I want to do this to you.
11:30And when I came over the first time...
11:33I wanted... to do that.
11:44I wanted to do this.
11:52I want you on your knees
11:55Under the table
11:57No, I can't
12:16Oh, my God
12:18I'm coming
12:20Oh, my God
12:44No, you can, you can come
12:46What?
12:46You can come
12:49Oh, my God
13:25You can go to the guest room
13:56Okay
13:58What the hell?
13:59It's me
14:01I like his undies
14:02Fuck you, man
14:03Oh, where are you going?
14:07Say one more word, I will kill you
14:16I'm freezing
14:20Are those my pants?
14:21Vlad has been staying in the guest room because he needed a little-
14:24For any reason, but even more so, even more so, even more so, even more so, what about you and
14:29Cynthia?
14:30What?
14:31I'm sorry, I can't help it.
14:34Friends, Cynthia is way above my pay grade.
14:37What?
14:38No, no, she, you said you caught them.
14:40I saw you together at some, at some, uh, you were with her.
14:45Yeah, well, unlike the two of you, Warren, I'm writing an epic poem.
14:50Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, so you, you, you weren't betraying you?
14:55No, sir.
14:56You saw them together.
14:58Well, I did, I, I thought I did.
14:59You were writing?
15:01You are not the only one that can write.
15:03At two o'clock in the morning.
15:05Oh, he's this shit, I'm gonna go!
15:08What the hell is wrong with you?
15:09She's sober, you fuck!
15:11Cynthia can make her own!
15:13It was her idea!
15:14Of course it was, because she's an addict!
15:16She bought them, I kept them.
15:17It's like a half an Adderall, she's fine.
15:19Oh, you have that fucking condo so it can stop being about you all the time.
15:23When has it ever been about me?
15:32Can I borrow your phone?
15:33Why?
15:34To call my fucking wife.
15:36Tell her I said hi.
15:38Fuck you.
15:38Shut your fucking mouth.
15:53The complaints were dismissed.
15:55I won't teach again, but I got to keep my pension, so I won.
16:01She'll get over it.
16:02No, I think I fucked it up for a while.
16:05Okay.
16:08Maybe we revisit our agreement.
16:12What do you mean?
16:14We're not getting any younger.
16:17I mean, isn't this all starting to feel a little sad?
16:21After you're finished, of course.
16:24She said that you help her feel like a normal human.
16:33Well, I'm going to bed.
16:47I don't know what I want.
16:49What?
17:00Say you will.
17:16You inspire me.
17:25There was a time in my life when that was...
17:36Should I change the sheets?
17:40It might be wise.
17:42Was it everything you wanted?
17:45Desire.
17:46I thought it was about desire, but it's not about that as much as...
17:50What?
17:52He gave me this.
17:54Got your groove back.
17:55Jesus.
17:56She's still got it.
17:57John, please.
17:59So what's it about?
18:01I'll let you read it when it's published.
18:03You think it'll sell?
18:04I think it could give me a whole new life.
18:07You want an hour?
18:08I think the kids call it agency.
18:14Are you...
18:15I don't know.
18:18You don't like that ending?
18:25It has recently come to my attention that both Vladimir and John are thinking of me as
18:32they both have an idea about how it's going to play out.
18:37But there are forces beyond anyone.
18:41A fire breaks out when we're asleep.
18:45Just like in a gothic novel.
18:48Desire goes up in flames.
18:51Wake up!
