00:00:18I don't know what to do.
00:00:33It's a safe space, so anything you'd like to say, don't want to say, it's your time, so.
00:00:40Okay, I'll get you.
00:00:42Okay, do you want to just go around and say something about our week?
00:00:47Sure.
00:00:48Right?
00:00:49Hi, I'm Scott. I'm an alcoholic.
00:00:51Hey, Scott.
00:00:52Hey, I had a few years under my belt, and my daughter told me she's getting divorced,
00:00:58so I had a few drinks, and I'm not feeling good about it, but I'm back, so.
00:01:06Hey, my name's Kyle. I'm an alcoholic.
00:01:08Okay, Kyle.
00:01:09Working. Girlfriend got the best of me, so hit the bar and blacked out, and I'm back here.
00:01:18My name's Ron. I'm an alcoholic, and a probation officer said I had to be here,
00:01:22get something signed off so I can complete my probation, and that's why I'm here.
00:01:25Richard?
00:01:29Richard?
00:01:30Want to say anything about your week?
00:01:34What?
00:01:35Just a second, let's go.
00:01:40I'm sorry.
00:02:02Stop it, Richard. Stop it. Stop it. Breathe. Breathe.
00:02:06Leave. That's...
00:02:34Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:02:48Hey, hey, hey.
00:03:17Hey, hey, hey.
00:03:46Hey, hey, hey.
00:03:57Hey, hey.
00:03:58Hey, hey, hey.
00:04:11I don't know.
00:04:38I'll put you back.
00:05:27I'll put you back.
00:05:29Do you remember last time?
00:05:33Well, at least I got to drink it this time.
00:05:37I had that dream again.
00:05:39Again?
00:05:41Yeah.
00:05:42Well, that's probably nothing.
00:05:44I'm going to go get changed.
00:05:47He killed them all.
00:05:48Are you sure?
00:05:50Yes, I'm sure.
00:05:52Tex wrote the word dial before he died.
00:05:58He's a murderer, I tell you.
00:06:00Now, wait a minute.
00:06:00Just a minute, Mrs. Lampard.
00:06:02You better give that to me again.
00:06:04Honey, have you seen my script?
00:06:07I thought your callback wasn't until Tuesday.
00:06:09Yeah, it wasn't.
00:06:10But they called me this morning and they changed the date.
00:06:12I must have left it in the dining room.
00:06:13Well, is this the same one you auditioned for last week?
00:06:15Yeah, horror.
00:06:19Found it!
00:06:22What, no kiss?
00:06:25Gotta go, hon.
00:06:39Her skin was delicate, perfect.
00:06:42A virgin olive within which a dark pit hit thoughts which she could never know.
00:06:47In her eyes lived secrets that would never escape her lips.
00:06:51She was fire and ice.
00:06:53Her smile, warm enough to stoke the embers of his heart.
00:06:57Her absence, a cold reminder of what he would never truly have.
00:07:01She was the love of his life.
00:07:07He said you told him to come by to celebrate my birthday.
00:07:11He even brought a gift.
00:07:12I was a bit surprised, but I just invited him to have a couple of drinks.
00:07:15Until I opened the gift.
00:07:18He said he been in love with me for a long time.
00:07:21What?
00:07:22I don't know, I told him I wasn't interested, but he wouldn't take no for an answer.
00:07:27And so he pushed me onto the kitchen counter.
00:07:31And he forced himself onto me that I just couldn't keep up.
00:07:34I was screaming, but he was smothering me.
00:07:38Where is he now?
00:07:42He's in the kitchen.
00:08:05Hello?
00:08:09Did you?
00:08:12I miss you too.
00:08:14I'm on my way home.
00:08:15I'll talk to you later.
00:08:25Hey.
00:08:27I picked up some food on the way home.
00:08:34Honey?
00:08:35What would you think about, uh, going away?
00:08:39Away?
00:08:40Yeah.
00:08:40We could rent a beach cottage for a couple of weeks.
00:08:43Maybe go to a resort.
00:08:45What about your novel?
00:08:47What about my novel?
00:08:49Well, you said you wanted to finish it here.
00:08:50And besides, if I book the part, I'm going to have to stay here for a while.
00:08:54So you're saying you never want to go away?
00:08:56That's not what I'm saying, Richard.
00:08:57It's just that now is not the time.
00:09:00And, uh, when is the time?
00:09:02I just want to book a really big part first, and then we can talk about going somewhere.
00:09:57I just want to book a little bit.
00:09:59And then we can feel the emptiness that consumed the house.
00:10:02It was a thick fog that dampened everything it touched.
00:10:06On the outside, their house seemed perfect.
00:10:09But it would never be a home.
00:10:21Richard, I'm going to jail.
00:10:22No, you're not.
00:10:23I'm not going to let that happen.
00:10:24Oh, my God.
00:10:25Okay, it was self-defense.
00:10:27He's gone now.
00:10:28You know, you know, you understand?
00:10:31After his skull cracked,
00:10:33I kept hitting him and hitting him again and again with a figurine.
00:10:37Oh, my God.
00:10:41How did you know it was my birthday, Richard?
00:10:43I don't understand what he's doing here.
00:10:45How did you know it was my birthday, Richard?
00:10:48I don't understand.
00:10:49No, I don't know.
00:10:50I don't know!
00:10:51No!
00:10:56Are you okay, Richard?
00:10:59Let me grab your pills.
00:11:17Here.
00:11:34We'll bury the body.
00:11:36What?
00:11:37Richard, what?
00:11:39Would you have any better ideas?
00:11:41Richard, no!
00:11:43Honey, listen to me.
00:11:44He doesn't have family.
00:11:46He doesn't even have a car, okay?
00:11:47We're gonna bury the body because it's our best option.
00:11:49What are you talking about?
00:11:53Has anyone seen you with him tonight?
00:11:55I don't know, Richard.
00:11:57Honey, it's either a yes or a no.
00:11:59Has anyone seen you with him?
00:12:01No.
00:12:01Okay.
00:12:02All right.
00:12:03I want you to go upstairs.
00:12:04I want you to get cleaned up, okay?
00:12:06I'm gonna fix this up.
00:12:15I want you to go upstairs and I will.
00:12:16I'm going upstairs.
00:12:21Im affirmed like, can you name him?
00:12:22I don't know?
00:12:23No.
00:12:30No.
00:12:36It's just intimate.
00:13:00That's Saunders.
00:13:01Good to see you again.
00:13:02How's it going, Richard?
00:13:03Great. Come on in.
00:13:04Thanks.
00:13:09Come in.
00:13:11Still writing those novels?
00:13:13Actually, I just started a new book.
00:13:15We have a lady here to see you?
00:13:17Does she have an appointment?
00:13:18No.
00:13:19She says she's Richard's wife.
00:13:24Okay, tell her to come in.
00:13:30Hey, what happened to your liquor cabinet?
00:13:33A what?
00:13:34Didn't you have a liquor cabinet here before?
00:13:36Oh, yeah.
00:13:38We took it down.
00:13:39Haley didn't like you drinking.
00:13:40It wasn't Haley.
00:13:42It was me.
00:13:45Well, in case you're wondering, I joined an AA group three years ago.
00:13:48I wasn't going to say anything, but you're looking a little rough.
00:13:54How about I come back and get you in shape?
00:13:57How's life treating you?
00:14:00Been better.
00:14:02Personal training has taken a dive and, uh, single and broke.
00:14:09You playing alone?
00:14:11Nothing.
00:14:15Richard, are you okay?
00:14:17No, I'm not, man.
00:14:19Haley!
00:14:21What an unexpected surprise.
00:14:25I know.
00:14:26I'm sorry.
00:14:27I just really needed to see you.
00:14:29What's going on?
00:14:31Well, besides the fact that my new book is messing with my head, it's this house.
00:14:38The house.
00:14:40You know, originally, I bought this place, uh, to inspire my writing.
00:14:43See, it turns out that, uh, there was a young couple that used to live here before Haley and I.
00:14:50Apparently, the, uh, husband came home one night and found his wife in bed with another man.
00:14:56In a fit of rage, he killed a girl with a butcher knife.
00:15:03Later on, the police found him in the bathtub holding a toaster.
00:15:12Jesus Christ.
00:15:14Does Haley know about this?
00:15:17It's Richard.
00:15:20Look, Nick, can we keep this just between us?
00:15:23Of course.
00:15:25What's going on, Richard?
00:15:26Why, uh, why, if you don't want personal training, why'd you bring me here?
00:15:31You may not know this, but, uh, my marriage to Haley is on the rocks.
00:15:34I mean, we've been married, uh, five years.
00:15:37And, uh, the relationship is just cold.
00:15:42Cold how?
00:15:43Well, for starters, I'm convinced, uh, she's no longer in love with me.
00:15:46Something's happening to Richard, and it's scaring me.
00:15:49He's becoming more and more paranoid, and, and he's getting these obsessions, and I don't know.
00:15:55You've known him longer than I have.
00:15:57Is there something I'm supposed to do?
00:16:01I'm sorry to break it to you, Haley, but that's just the way writers are.
00:16:05Imagination.
00:16:06Oh.
00:16:07Powerful thing.
00:16:08I'm not against the idea of her having a career as an actress or whatever.
00:16:12It's just that it's been nonstop with, uh, auditions and rehearsals with actors, writers, directors, uh, and I never know
00:16:21where she's at.
00:16:23So you think she's cheating on you?
00:16:25Don't get me wrong.
00:16:26I love Richard with all of my heart, but not if things don't get better.
00:16:29I mean, I feel like I've been really supportive of everything that he's put me through.
00:16:34His drinking problems, his obsessions with the house.
00:16:37I want to make you an offer.
00:16:40An offer?
00:16:41To put it more simply, uh, I know you need money.
00:16:45And I have it.
00:16:47Okay, what kind of offer are we talking about?
00:16:50Has she been drinking again?
00:16:53No.
00:16:55Well, then things have gotten better.
00:16:57Well, how does $15,000 sell?
00:17:01$15,000 sounds awesome.
00:17:03Um, what for?
00:17:05I can't prove right now whether or not Haley's sleeping with another man.
00:17:10But I can prove whether or not she can be tempted to do so.
00:17:14We both know Richard has his demons, but I've known that man for 20 years.
00:17:18He always gets back on his feet.
00:17:20Trust me.
00:17:25You want to pay me $15,000 to seduce your wife?
00:17:28Are you kidding?
00:17:31Don't tell me you've never seduced a woman before.
00:17:33Yeah, I've seduced a woman.
00:17:35Just, um, not for money.
00:17:38Now listen, if you're interested, here's my plan.
00:17:41I want you to start off by calling the house Tuesday night around 7 o'clock.
00:17:46I'll know it's you, and I'm going to let Haley answer the phone.
00:17:50Okay, and what do I say?
00:17:51Well, start by telling her that you remember her.
00:17:53She's got a birthday coming up, and then just ask to speak with me.
00:17:56Haley, I don't know what to tell you.
00:17:57These are just the ebbs and flows of marriage.
00:17:59You know, the important thing you tell is, do you still really love him?
00:18:05Sometimes it's not that simple, Nick.
00:18:08Love isn't enough.
00:18:11Then you need to pass by Saturday night, and make sure you bring a birthday gift.
00:18:16When she comes to the door, just tell her you messed up on the date for the training session.
00:18:21I'm going to be at my A.E. meeting until about 2 o'clock.
00:18:24You just want me to roll up to your house with some random gift, and just ask her, hey, do
00:18:29you ever love her?
00:18:32Get her to open up about her marriage.
00:18:34And what if she doesn't?
00:18:37Seduce her.
00:18:42You know what?
00:18:44I'm sorry I've taken up too much of your time.
00:18:46I should go.
00:18:48All right.
00:18:48Well, I hope it all works out.
00:18:59Oh.
00:19:03Mom, this is nuts.
00:19:14I'll do it.
00:19:49Mom, this is nuts.
00:19:54Mom, this is nuts.
00:20:08You're close.
00:20:09It's nothing.
00:20:11Are you okay?
00:20:12No.
00:20:13No, I don't feel good.
00:20:17Richard?
00:20:18Richard?
00:20:28I don't know.
00:20:54Hey.
00:20:59So...
00:21:01Look, I know this looks really bad.
00:21:08Why didn't you say that you saved this?
00:21:13Of course I saved it, Richard. I always keep that with me.
00:21:20I really need to get ready.
00:21:49I really need to get ready.
00:21:51I really need to get ready.
00:22:12I'm sorry I'm late.
00:22:14That's all right. Have a seat, Richard.
00:22:21I'm afraid I have some bad news for you.
00:22:24Publishers sent a list of books that are going to be released next year, taking into account the lack of
00:22:27titles.
00:22:29Your books aren't on it.
00:22:31I'm sorry, Richard.
00:22:33No, I get it.
00:22:35You're an amazing author.
00:22:38But you haven't given me anything viable in the last four years.
00:22:43Actually, that's what I came to talk to you about.
00:22:46I've got something.
00:22:47Well, let's see it.
00:22:52I've only written the synopsis so far.
00:23:03I'm thinking of calling it the perception.
00:23:08It's different.
00:23:09I was hoping you were going to say that.
00:23:12Intriguing.
00:23:18This sounds familiar.
00:23:20What do you mean?
00:23:22Did you draw inspiration from anything?
00:23:25You trying to imply something?
00:23:27Oh, wait.
00:23:28I don't mean to pry, but...
00:23:30Is everything all right?
00:23:32Yeah. Everything's fine.
00:23:37This story sounds promising.
00:23:38Oh, thank you.
00:23:40It's been, uh, quite a journey.
00:23:43How does it end?
00:23:45Well, actually, I'm not sure yet.
00:23:47I'm waiting for things to unfold.
00:23:52Richard!
00:23:54Richard!
00:23:56Richard!

00:24:43Well, what's the special occasion?
00:24:48I got the part.
00:24:50Get over here.
00:24:52Hayley, congratulations, honey.
00:24:56What?
00:24:57You look more sophisticated like that with your hair back.
00:25:01Don't I always look sophisticated?
00:25:03You wish.
00:25:05Finish your dinner.
00:25:28What's my husband up to?
00:25:30Husband?
00:25:31What?
00:25:32It's been a long time since you even called me that.
00:25:35Well, you are, aren't you?
00:25:38Wow.
00:25:39It's been quite an amazing day.
00:25:41You want to make it more amazing?
00:25:44Let me know.

00:26:34You were so romantic on our first date.

00:27:25By yourself?
00:27:27I didn't have a choice.
00:27:29I was just laying there, and you wouldn't wake up.

00:31:11lady
00:31:11lady
00:31:18Oh, come on.
00:31:48Oh, come on.
00:32:38Oh, come on.
00:32:47I'll tell Haley, I'll tell you that you invited me to the house, that you offered me $15,000, that
00:32:51you tried to give me to seduce her, that you're trying to set her up.
00:32:53I'll tell you that you're trying to sell her.
00:32:54I'll tell you that you're trying to sell her.
00:32:59I'll tell you that you're trying to sell her.
00:33:01Fuck you.
00:33:02I will tell you everything.
00:33:03You understand me?
00:33:04I will tell you everything.
00:33:05Everything.
00:33:07Richard.
00:33:17I'm sorry.
00:33:18I don't know.
00:33:57I don't know.
00:34:25I don't know.
00:34:48I don't know.
00:35:00I don't know.
00:35:11I don't know.
00:35:37I don't know.
00:35:40I don't know.
00:36:07I don't know.
00:36:14I don't know.
00:36:15I don't know.
00:36:16I don't know.
00:36:17I don't know.
00:36:33I don't know.
00:36:56I don't know.
00:36:58I don't know.
00:37:12I don't know.
00:37:18I don't know.
00:38:01I don't know.
00:38:12Look, I don't know.
00:38:13Look, I've got to go, okay?
00:38:14Bye.
00:38:16Really?
00:38:17I don't know.
00:38:20I don't know.
00:38:55I don't know.
00:39:41I don't know.
00:39:42I don't know.
00:39:42I don't know.
00:39:58I don't know.
00:40:09I don't know.
00:40:11I don't know.
00:40:28I don't know.
00:40:38I don't know.
00:40:44I don't know.
00:40:55I don't know.
00:40:59I don't know.
00:41:03I don't know.
00:41:22I don't know.
00:41:33I don't know.
00:41:38I don't know.
00:41:57I don't know.
00:42:06I don't know.
00:42:08I don't know.
00:42:09I'm not being nonchalant about it, Richard.
00:42:11I'm just tired and stressed.
00:42:13Oh, but so you make yourself a drink.
00:42:15Yeah, I'm making myself a drink because I don't have a drinking problem.
00:42:18I haven't been drinking.
00:42:26Okay.
00:42:26I'm gonna go get changed.
00:42:29I don't know.
00:42:29I don't know.
00:42:30I don't know.
00:42:39I don't know.
00:42:41I don't know.
00:42:49I know the ice cream is insane because they're getting fished.
00:42:51I'm just not having a thing.
00:42:51I guess I…
00:42:51I OF FIDERAL and PLUSHים are going to eat better and KBR.
00:42:56Yeah, the big relax.
00:43:17Hello?
00:43:19Hello?
00:43:25Jesus.
00:43:27Been a while.
00:43:29Sorry to see you again.
00:43:33Take a fifth, Stoli.
00:43:37You're in trouble again, Richard.
00:43:41You look scared to me, but why?
00:43:44Look, I don't think this is the...
00:43:47You don't think.
00:43:50Well, how often do you normally think, and how different is it now?
00:43:55You don't need vodka.
00:43:56You look lost to me already.
00:43:59No, you don't know me.
00:44:03You're just like most people.
00:44:06Believe in what you see.
00:44:09We all do.
00:44:201950.
00:44:26What did you see?
00:44:36Whatever you think it is, it isn't.
00:44:40It's all a matter of perception.
00:45:08It's all a matter of perception.
00:45:10I've been working on you, but...
00:45:18I don't know.
00:45:19Good day.
00:45:28I'm a sixэт aphilis.
00:45:30They're a five footer, though.
00:45:34I'm信iné in Macarena.
00:45:35I'm coming.
00:45:35I'm sorry.
00:45:35I'm coming back to you.
00:45:35I'm coming back to you.
00:48:24Hayley, did you come home earlier?
00:48:28What are you talking about?
00:48:30Yeah, I did come home early.
00:48:32No, but like after breakfast, just before noon?
00:48:35No.
00:48:36Why?
00:48:38I saw someone in the house.
00:48:41Really?
00:48:42Where?
00:48:48In the hallway.
00:48:51Richard, Richard, you were probably dreaming.
00:48:53No, I don't think this time I was dreaming.
00:48:55Then you were probably imagining things, Richard.
00:48:57It's not that I don't care.
00:48:59It's just that we really need to get past this.
00:49:03Oh.
00:49:04And how do we move past this when there's a dead man buried in our backyard?
00:49:12Hayley?
00:49:38out. You really need to stop your writing. This novel, it's doing your head in. Okay, but Hayley.
00:50:02Well, who is it? Probably just some kids messing around. Kids messing around?
00:50:09Hayley, we've been here five years and I don't recall any kids messing around on the property.
00:50:14So what are you saying?
00:50:38What, a friend?
00:50:40Wardrobe. Then I spoke to the director afterwards. Richard, I have to go away tomorrow.
00:50:48What?
00:50:49Yeah, they want to shoot a teaser.
00:50:54Would you stop being like this?
00:50:59Fine.
00:51:03I'm not going to stop you.
00:51:17I'm not going to stop you.
00:51:17I'm not going to stop you.
00:51:18I'm not going to stop you.
00:51:22I'm not going to stop you.
00:51:23I'm not going to stop you.
00:51:23I'm not going to stop you.
00:51:24I'm not going to stop you.
00:51:24I'm not going to stop you.
00:51:24I'm not going to stop you.
00:51:25I'm not going to stop you.
00:51:25I'm not going to stop you.
00:51:26I'm not going to stop you.
00:51:28I'm not going to stop you.
00:51:33I'm not going to stop you.
00:56:30Nick, it's me.
00:56:32Richard, what time is it?
00:56:35I know it's late, but I gotta talk to you about something.
00:57:06Oh, man.
00:57:08This was the last time.
00:57:09What?
00:57:33Honey, I hope that's the last time you stay up so late.
00:57:37I'm glad I did.
00:57:42I'm glad I had a breakthrough with my writing.
00:57:45What does that mean?
00:57:47What does that mean?
00:58:07Hey?
00:58:09Hey.
00:58:10I'm off.
00:58:10What time is it?
00:58:12Just past eight.
00:58:13Yeah.
00:58:14I made you a jug of honey and cam mill tea.
00:58:17Should help you sleep better.
00:58:19Thanks.
00:58:20Bye.
00:58:21Bye.
00:58:29Bye.
00:58:31Bye.
00:58:32Bye.
00:58:35Bye.
00:58:41Bye.
00:58:49Bye.
00:58:51Bye.
00:58:53Bye.
00:58:55Bye.
00:58:57Bye.
00:59:05Bye.
00:59:06Bye.
00:59:08Bye.
00:59:18Bye.
00:59:30Bye.
01:00:01Bye.
01:00:26Bye.
01:01:00Bye.
01:01:33Bye.
01:01:55Bye.
01:02:31Bye.
01:02:55Bye.
01:02:57Bye.
01:02:59Bye.
01:03:01Bye.
01:03:01Bye.
01:03:01Please pick up.
01:03:02Come on, pick up.
01:03:03The person you are called is unavailable right now.
01:03:06Please do it again later.
01:03:25It's not real.
01:03:27It's not real.
01:03:29It's not real.
01:03:31It's not real.
01:03:53What do you want from me?
01:04:12It's not real.
01:04:48Matt, is he dead?
01:04:50I definitely heard something, but I can't be sure.
01:04:53Go check it out.
01:04:54Quit messing around.
01:04:55You go check.
01:04:58Bye.
01:05:19You ready?
01:05:20I'm ready.
01:05:319-1-1, what's your emergency?
01:05:33My husband, he's not breathing.
01:05:35I found him in the bathtub with the toaster.
01:05:37I think he electrocuted himself.
01:05:38Please, I don't know what to do.
01:05:40I'm so scared.
01:05:41I'm so scared.
01:06:35You must be freezing.
01:06:37You should have waited at home.
01:06:39I'd be so far away from you.
01:06:44So what'd they say?
01:06:45Do they believe you?
01:06:47They said they were going to take his body down to the morgue and run some tests.
01:06:51What kind of tests?
01:06:53I don't know, but it'll be fine.
01:06:54All they're going to find is Prozac and Valium.
01:06:59Valium?
01:07:01Yeah.
01:07:02That's what I've been putting into his drinks.
01:07:08Let me grab your pills.
01:07:09Hold on.
01:07:15I can't wait to read it.
01:07:16I thought you will.
01:07:19Richard always had an overactive imagination.
01:07:22Killing you made it easy for him to buy into the ghost stories about the house.
01:07:28Sneaky girl.
01:07:31What?
01:07:32It's just like you said.
01:07:34You make it sound so easy.
01:07:36What do you say we go away?
01:07:38I don't know.
01:07:39Richard seems to be getting better.
01:07:41Really?
01:07:42That guy?
01:07:42You're the most depressing piece of shit I've ever met.
01:07:46I need your help to find out if Hayley is cheating on me.
01:07:48Shut the fuck up.
01:07:50I'm going to raise a bar and he's going to call the deal off tomorrow.
01:07:53You need to scare the shit out of him.
01:07:55I want to be that guy again.
01:07:57I miss him.
01:07:58Listen, I've got to call the whole thing off.
01:07:59I will take everything from you.
01:08:01All right?
01:08:02Fucking everything.
01:08:04Well, it was, wasn't it?
01:08:05Maybe for you.
01:08:06All we had to do was pretend to be dead.
01:08:08Pretending to be dead is harder than it looks.
01:08:13Let's go.
01:08:40Excuse me, ma'am, but I believe I was the star of the show.
01:08:43Richard, wake up!
01:08:44Richard!
01:08:45Richard!
01:08:45Richard!
01:08:47How long do we have?
01:08:48I don't know.
01:08:49About 30 minutes or so.
01:08:50Okay, because there's no way he's going to believe that you dragged my ass down the stairs,
01:08:52so we have to figure a way to make this believable.
01:08:56What about the body?
01:08:58I buried it.
01:09:04Well, once the executor finalizes everything,
01:09:07we'll have our beach house in no time.
01:09:09I like that.
01:09:13I'll be right back.
01:09:14I like that.
01:11:15This isn't just about the book, Nick.
01:11:17This was taken for my life.
01:11:19My wife and her lover, they're trying to kill me or drive me to kill myself.
01:11:22It doesn't matter.
01:11:23Richard?
01:11:24Hayley would never do that.
01:11:26It's true.
01:11:27I pieced it all together.
01:11:29Have you told anyone about this?
01:11:31Human behavior had become his livelihood, and he was a master in the art of manipulation.
01:11:36Do you want to read it?
01:11:38So you will.
01:11:38A tool he employed to weave intricate storylines and shape insolvable mysteries.
01:11:45He had gathered enough incriminating evidence to put them away for a very long time.
01:11:50They had severely underestimated his intellect, and he took great satisfaction in using it
01:11:55against them.
01:11:57With limitless resources at his disposal, he was able to outsmart the conspirators without
01:12:03leaving a trace of suspicion.
01:12:05He had injected himself with a non-lethal dose of tetrodotoxin, which put him into a deep state
01:12:11of paralysis and slowed his heartbeat to with inches of death.
01:12:19He knew the only way to undeniably prove their guilt was to give them exactly what they
01:12:25wanted, his suicide wrapped in a bow.
01:12:34When he finally awoke, the nightmare had ended, and a new life awaited him.
01:13:07I sold the house.
01:13:09I heard.
01:13:10What are you moving?
01:13:10Somewhere north, on the beach.
01:13:12Congratulations.
01:13:13I've also got some good news.
01:13:17Check it out.
01:13:19What, did they change the cover?
01:13:20No, look at the bottom.
01:13:23New York Times bestseller.
01:13:25Yeah, the publicist really pushed that true story angle.
01:13:28I don't know what to say, Nick.
01:13:31You deserve it, after all you've been through.
01:13:34I don't think I could have made it without your support.
01:13:37You've always been there for me.
01:13:38Thanks, Nick.
01:13:39Sure.
01:13:43One last thing.
01:13:45How much of it is true?
01:14:11There was an acute sense of relief that came with this knowledge.
01:14:16Like a blister being split open, the truth had seeped through to the surface, and the wound
01:14:22could finally breathe.
01:14:25And even though the sting of betrayal had permanently marked him, he could now sleep easy, his mind
01:14:33at peace, knowing that justice had been served.
01:14:56Perception is a peculiar thing.
01:14:58What one can clearly discern with the eyes might be easily misinterpreted by the heart.
01:15:04We only see what we want to see, as William Blake so eloquently put it.
01:15:10If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.
01:15:17And that's exactly what the future held.
01:15:20Each day, a blank page.
01:15:23Ready and waiting to be written.
01:15:47Like a blister.
01:16:07Take care.
