WEBVTT
00:45.438 --> 00:47.354
We are here with Verity Crawford
00:47.355 --> 00:48.770
at her home in Vermont,
00:48.771 --> 00:51.479
the place she shares with
her husband and the twins.
00:51.480 --> 00:53.645
I don't think there
are enough superlatives
00:53.646 --> 00:55.687
to describe this woman.
Let's pick one.
00:55.688 --> 00:59.687
Phenomenon, sensation, marvel.
00:59.688 --> 01:02.812
Uh, some would say "badass."
I'll go with that.
01:02.813 --> 01:05.437
You are considered one
of the bestselling authors
01:05.438 --> 01:06.604
on the planet.
01:06.605 --> 01:07.729
- Oh...
- Let's take that in
01:07.730 --> 01:08.854
for just a second.
01:08.855 --> 01:10.187
- "On the planet."
- Yes.
01:10.188 --> 01:12.645
Have you had time
to take it all in? What it...
01:12.646 --> 01:14.520
What it is like
to be able to provide
01:14.521 --> 01:17.229
such a beautiful life for
the people you love so much?
01:17.230 --> 01:20.729
To me, it's all a miracle.
01:20.730 --> 01:22.854
Yeah, but some could say...
01:22.855 --> 01:25.312
it's a miracle
built on villains.
02:06.146 --> 02:07.562
"I don't know that anyone
02:07.563 --> 02:09.270
"named Louie Longsutter
02:09.271 --> 02:11.520
"could even be dangerous.
02:11.521 --> 02:13.895
"But the way he stands there
02:13.896 --> 02:17.062
"just a little too close
to the edge of the porch,
02:17.063 --> 02:18.395
"like he's been waiting for me
02:18.396 --> 02:19.770
"longer than he should have
02:19.771 --> 02:22.854
"makes me second-guess
my assumptions.
02:22.855 --> 02:27.229
"I try to imagine a serial
killer named Louie Longsutter.
02:27.230 --> 02:29.104
"I almost laugh
at the absurdity of it,
02:29.105 --> 02:30.812
"but being a woman
02:30.813 --> 02:33.854
"about to embark
on weeks of isolation,
02:33.855 --> 02:36.520
"the thought that he could
be a threat sticks in my mind.
02:36.521 --> 02:38.604
"Unwanted and uncomfortable."
02:41.438 --> 02:42.812
Sorry. Sorry.
02:42.813 --> 02:43.979
Sorry.
02:43.980 --> 02:46.270
Hi, hi.
No, I'm in a bookstore.
02:46.271 --> 02:47.813
Yeah, yeah, this is a good time.
02:50.813 --> 02:52.937
- Hey.
- Hey. How'd it go?
02:52.938 --> 02:54.604
I don't want to talk about it.
02:54.605 --> 02:56.520
Where were you? You said
you were gonna be here.
02:56.521 --> 02:57.770
You know I wouldn't miss it
02:57.771 --> 03:00.020
if I didn't have a good reason.
03:00.021 --> 03:02.479
Hachette Book Group called.
03:02.480 --> 03:03.812
They wanna meet you.
03:03.813 --> 03:06.437
For what? Who... Who...
Who wants to meet me?
03:06.438 --> 03:07.812
They wouldn't say.
03:07.813 --> 03:09.605
It's all very top secret.
03:10.271 --> 03:11.437
When?
03:11.438 --> 03:13.395
3:00 p.m. sharp.
03:13.396 --> 03:14.604
I'll meet you there, okay?
03:14.605 --> 03:16.729
Oh, please, and dress nice.
03:16.730 --> 03:18.604
All right?
03:18.605 --> 03:19.855
Wait, Corey.
03:21.771 --> 03:23.020
Wow.
03:33.855 --> 03:36.813
People like me belong
in overpopulated cities.
03:41.688 --> 03:44.812
In the tiny town
where I grew up,
03:44.813 --> 03:47.146
everyone knew
everything about everyone.
03:52.063 --> 03:54.063
But here, I'm invisible.
03:57.938 --> 03:59.313
I like it that way.
04:09.146 --> 04:10.312
Yo, mister, watch out!
04:15.271 --> 04:17.979
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
04:17.980 --> 04:19.187
A man was riding his bike...
04:19.188 --> 04:20.604
- He's not good.
- Hey?
04:20.605 --> 04:22.312
And a car
just came out of nowhere,
04:22.313 --> 04:23.521
- and it hit him.
- Oh, my God.
04:25.313 --> 04:27.270
Oh, no.
04:27.271 --> 04:28.729
There's been
a terrible accident.
04:28.730 --> 04:32.187
A bike messenger
was hit by a car.
04:40.355 --> 04:41.355
Are you hurt?
04:43.605 --> 04:45.979
Are you hurt?
04:45.980 --> 04:47.563
Is it on my face?
04:50.771 --> 04:52.104
There should be a bathroom
in this coffee shop
04:52.105 --> 04:53.437
over here, okay?
04:53.438 --> 04:55.063
Look what you did!
05:03.355 --> 05:05.645
Oh...
05:05.646 --> 05:07.813
Hey, what are you doin'
in there? It's the men's room.
05:09.146 --> 05:10.396
We'll be right out.
05:31.855 --> 05:33.438
Here, um...
05:34.230 --> 05:35.230
you can put this on.
05:37.396 --> 05:38.812
Thank you.
05:38.813 --> 05:39.813
Of course.
05:45.063 --> 05:47.480
I can't tell
if you're calm or...
05:48.188 --> 05:49.355
if you're in shock.
05:51.855 --> 05:53.355
I don't know what I am.
05:57.688 --> 06:00.354
Are you okay?
06:00.355 --> 06:02.729
Uh, yeah.
06:02.730 --> 06:04.980
I've seen worse, unfortunately.
06:06.230 --> 06:07.521
Are you a doctor?
06:08.896 --> 06:10.396
I'm in real estate.
06:13.271 --> 06:14.938
Or at least, I used to be.
06:17.188 --> 06:18.563
What happened to you?
06:21.146 --> 06:22.730
You really wanna know?
06:28.646 --> 06:30.229
I pulled my 8-year-old
daughter's body
06:30.230 --> 06:32.563
out of a lake last spring.
06:39.313 --> 06:40.896
I'm sorry.
06:42.813 --> 06:44.313
I'm sorry.
06:47.230 --> 06:49.605
My mom died last week.
06:50.730 --> 06:52.187
Oh...
06:52.188 --> 06:53.937
What happened to her?
06:53.938 --> 06:55.479
Uh, cancer.
06:55.480 --> 06:58.187
I was taking care of her
in my apartment.
06:58.188 --> 06:59.562
She died in there.
06:59.563 --> 07:02.521
In my apartment.
She died. Sorry.
07:05.730 --> 07:07.229
I have a meeting. I should...
07:07.230 --> 07:09.230
Yeah, me, too.
07:10.355 --> 07:11.770
Thank you for your help.
07:11.771 --> 07:13.021
Of course.
07:19.521 --> 07:21.063
I'm Jeremy, by the way.
07:21.396 --> 07:22.605
Lowen.
07:35.438 --> 07:36.855
God.
07:42.521 --> 07:44.437
Congratulations on your bonus.
07:44.438 --> 07:45.438
Thank you.
07:53.896 --> 07:55.979
- Hi.
- Hi. How can I help you?
07:55.980 --> 07:57.395
I'm here to see Amanda Thomas.
07:57.396 --> 07:59.520
- Okay.
- Lowen.
07:59.521 --> 08:00.687
Hi. I'm sorry I'm late.
08:00.688 --> 08:02.771
You're not late.
You're on time.
08:04.021 --> 08:05.979
The actual meeting
isn't until 3:30.
08:05.980 --> 08:09.688
But I'd figured you'd be late,
as usual, so I told you 3:00.
08:10.105 --> 08:11.437
Sorry.
08:11.438 --> 08:13.312
If you had told me that,
I could have avoided...
08:13.313 --> 08:14.980
What are you wearing?
08:17.021 --> 08:18.270
Um...
08:18.271 --> 08:19.770
It's like a fashion thing.
08:19.771 --> 08:21.104
Corey. Lowen.
08:21.105 --> 08:23.105
I'm Amanda's assistant, Olivia.
08:23.896 --> 08:25.062
Thank you.
08:25.063 --> 08:26.503
I'll show you
to the conference room.
08:30.271 --> 08:31.605
You comin'?
08:35.230 --> 08:36.605
Oh, my God.
08:45.730 --> 08:46.813
Sorry about your mom.
08:48.188 --> 08:49.355
Don't be.
08:50.855 --> 08:52.562
Can I help with the will?
08:52.563 --> 08:54.645
I'm sure Edward can take a look.
08:54.646 --> 08:56.854
Mm, I don't need a lawyer.
08:56.855 --> 08:59.396
All she left me was debt.
08:59.938 --> 09:01.229
Showtime.
09:01.230 --> 09:02.354
Right this way.
09:02.355 --> 09:04.062
Oh...
09:05.605 --> 09:07.395
You must be Lowen Ashleigh.
09:07.396 --> 09:08.604
I am Amanda Thomas,
09:08.605 --> 09:10.354
Senior Editor here at Hachette.
09:10.355 --> 09:11.770
- Lowen.
- Nice to see you.
09:11.771 --> 09:13.020
Corey.
09:13.021 --> 09:14.229
This is
Barron Stephens, our lawyer,
09:14.230 --> 09:16.021
and Jeremy Crawford, our client.
09:20.271 --> 09:22.063
Please, have a seat.
09:28.896 --> 09:31.062
So I'll just cut to the chase.
09:31.063 --> 09:32.395
One of our authors
09:32.396 --> 09:34.354
is unable to fulfill a contract
09:34.355 --> 09:36.604
due to extenuating
circumstances.
09:36.605 --> 09:38.270
We are in search of a writer
09:38.271 --> 09:40.937
who has experience
with the same genre.
09:40.938 --> 09:42.854
She needs a little help.
09:42.855 --> 09:44.312
Before we continue, I would ask
09:44.313 --> 09:46.937
that you sign
the non-disclosure agreement.
09:46.938 --> 09:48.645
We would like to keep our
author's current situation
09:48.646 --> 09:50.730
out of the media.
10:01.271 --> 10:02.438
Thank you.
10:04.313 --> 10:07.063
Thank you, thank you.
10:09.605 --> 10:12.604
Verity Crawford is her name.
10:12.605 --> 10:15.687
I'm sure you're familiar
with her work.
10:15.688 --> 10:18.854
Verity has
a wildly successful series,
10:18.855 --> 10:20.145
The Noble Virtues,
10:20.146 --> 10:22.854
which we would hate
to see go unfinished.
10:22.855 --> 10:24.770
So we need a writer
who's able to step in
10:24.771 --> 10:26.562
on an accelerated timeline.
10:26.563 --> 10:27.895
So when will you need it by?
10:27.896 --> 10:29.354
Your wife?
10:29.355 --> 10:30.812
We're already behind,
so we're looking to have
10:30.813 --> 10:32.687
the next book in the series
within six months,
10:32.688 --> 10:35.687
and the final two
in the next 24 months.
10:35.688 --> 10:37.645
Three books.
10:37.646 --> 10:40.021
$75,000 per book.
10:42.855 --> 10:45.646
So how does this sound, Lowen?
10:47.063 --> 10:49.355
Um...
10:52.396 --> 10:55.729
I appreciate the offer.
10:55.730 --> 10:58.729
I don't know that I can write
for another author.
10:58.730 --> 11:00.812
I'm...
11:00.813 --> 11:03.896
Especially someone as popular
as Verity Crawford...
11:04.646 --> 11:08.229
Her fans know her voice.
11:08.230 --> 11:10.230
They would know it's not her.
11:11.938 --> 11:13.604
I'm sorry.
11:13.605 --> 11:15.229
Let me talk to my client.
11:15.230 --> 11:16.937
All right?
11:16.938 --> 11:19.062
We'll step out.
11:19.063 --> 11:20.312
We have
two other writers in mind.
11:20.313 --> 11:21.770
So if you could
let us know something
11:21.771 --> 11:23.437
by tomorrow afternoon?
11:23.438 --> 11:25.354
We'll discuss. All right?
11:25.355 --> 11:26.896
Thank you.
11:34.521 --> 11:36.605
Could we possibly
have a word in private?
11:39.730 --> 11:40.938
What the fuck?
11:42.063 --> 11:43.562
Fine.
11:43.563 --> 11:45.979
Sure.
11:45.980 --> 11:47.396
You got it.
11:52.188 --> 11:54.229
Are you okay?
11:54.230 --> 11:56.563
Twenty minutes ago,
you watched someone die.
11:58.230 --> 11:59.812
So did you.
11:59.813 --> 12:01.354
Like I said...
12:01.355 --> 12:02.855
I've seen worse.
12:05.480 --> 12:07.354
You must have questions.
12:07.355 --> 12:08.605
Sure do.
12:08.980 --> 12:10.104
Shoot.
12:10.105 --> 12:11.854
Okay, well, for starters,
12:11.855 --> 12:13.562
did you go shopping
12:13.563 --> 12:16.980
or do you carry around
spare shirts in your pocket?
12:20.355 --> 12:22.562
My hotel's
just around the corner.
12:22.563 --> 12:25.145
I went back and got changed.
12:25.146 --> 12:27.688
Why can't your wife
finish the series?
12:29.938 --> 12:32.063
Verity had a car accident.
12:34.563 --> 12:36.563
I'm sorry.
12:39.396 --> 12:41.021
Open Ended.
12:43.063 --> 12:45.688
It was one of Verity's
favorite books last year.
12:48.146 --> 12:49.562
She read one of my books?
12:49.563 --> 12:50.771
Yeah.
12:54.355 --> 12:57.729
She said
that you are a brilliant,
12:57.730 --> 13:00.437
undiscovered voice.
13:00.438 --> 13:02.479
Well, I'm not undiscovered.
13:02.480 --> 13:04.020
I am published.
13:04.021 --> 13:06.520
Just not in a big way.
13:06.521 --> 13:09.312
If anyone was to take over
her series,
13:09.313 --> 13:12.937
I wanted it to be someone
whose work she respected.
13:12.938 --> 13:15.770
You would have to spend
some time at the house.
13:15.771 --> 13:16.937
In her office.
13:16.938 --> 13:20.479
She has years of notes
and outlines,
13:20.480 --> 13:22.813
stuff I wouldn't know
how to make sense of.
13:23.771 --> 13:27.145
Also, they're lowballing you.
13:27.146 --> 13:30.646
You should ask your agent
to ask for half a million.
13:33.313 --> 13:34.812
We live in Vermont.
13:34.813 --> 13:37.271
You can stay
for as long as you need to.
13:38.146 --> 13:39.312
I hope you change your mind.
13:39.313 --> 13:41.062
Wait.
13:41.063 --> 13:44.646
Did you know who I was earlier?
13:46.438 --> 13:49.312
Not until you said your name.
13:49.313 --> 13:51.396
There aren't that many
Lowens running around.
13:53.646 --> 13:55.896
If you do come,
bring my shirt back.
14:01.438 --> 14:04.312
Verity, welcome
to Call Her Daddy.
14:04.313 --> 14:07.480
Who doesn't love a dirty,
twisted thriller?
14:08.813 --> 14:11.812
Uh, maybe just my husband.
14:11.813 --> 14:15.395
Oh! Is it hard for him
to read your work
14:15.396 --> 14:17.645
and then sleep next to you
at night?
14:18.896 --> 14:21.437
I mean, your characters
are pretty evil.
14:21.438 --> 14:23.395
Yeah, well, yeah, well, um...
14:23.396 --> 14:25.895
um...
14:25.896 --> 14:27.145
he was wondering if I was
14:27.146 --> 14:28.895
like the sociopath
that was doing it.
14:28.896 --> 14:31.020
And I think he was
maybe just checking.
14:31.021 --> 14:32.229
- For sure.
- Just, like...
14:32.230 --> 14:33.395
- Who wouldn't?
- Let's just...
14:33.396 --> 14:34.688
You know.
15:30.646 --> 15:33.020
Hope I'm not intruding.
15:33.021 --> 15:35.355
I'm here
to celebrate your new gig.
15:38.813 --> 15:39.896
You're moving?
15:41.021 --> 15:43.979
I can't live here anymore.
15:43.980 --> 15:47.645
I'm also getting evicted, so...
15:47.646 --> 15:50.729
- Uh...
- It all works out.
15:50.730 --> 15:54.312
Well, maybe with the money
you'll get from this deal,
15:54.313 --> 15:57.479
you'll finally get a cover
for that futon.
15:57.480 --> 15:59.354
Excuse me, that is not a futon.
15:59.355 --> 16:00.521
It's a mattress.
16:02.646 --> 16:04.063
Let's toast, yeah?
16:07.230 --> 16:09.312
Can't believe...
16:09.313 --> 16:12.020
you're staying at their house.
16:12.021 --> 16:16.062
There's, like, years' worth
of notes and outlines.
16:16.063 --> 16:17.270
Somebody
needs to sort through...
16:17.271 --> 16:18.355
You don't even know them.
16:20.980 --> 16:23.563
All I'm saying
is that you have to be safe.
16:28.813 --> 16:29.896
Cheers.
16:31.646 --> 16:33.230
Cheers.
16:37.271 --> 16:39.354
Have you even read
one of her books?
16:39.355 --> 16:42.438
I don't read books that you
can buy in an airport.
16:43.188 --> 16:44.312
I'm afraid I'll like it
16:44.313 --> 16:46.520
and then I won't be able
to resent her.
16:46.521 --> 16:49.312
Don't be fooled by her success.
16:49.313 --> 16:51.937
She's very, very dark.
16:51.938 --> 16:53.438
Like you.
16:56.521 --> 16:57.855
How's Becca?
16:59.188 --> 17:00.562
Who's Becca?
17:00.563 --> 17:03.438
There's pictures of you guys
all over Instagram.
17:04.063 --> 17:06.395
It's just a fling.
17:06.396 --> 17:08.730
She looks sweet.
17:09.980 --> 17:12.438
You should take that seriously.
17:24.605 --> 17:26.146
Okay.
17:28.688 --> 17:30.980
I'm happy for you, Lowen.
17:31.980 --> 17:33.146
You deserve this.
17:41.230 --> 17:43.229
"I reach the door..."
17:43.230 --> 17:45.105
"push it open without knocking.
17:46.438 --> 17:49.604
"I smell the blood
before I see it.
17:49.605 --> 17:52.479
"Lane is hunched over...
17:52.480 --> 17:55.437
"the knife stuck under his chin.
17:55.438 --> 17:58.770
"A steady flow of crimson
seeps through his knuckles,
17:58.771 --> 18:01.437
"pours down his arm.
18:01.438 --> 18:03.854
"He reaches out to me,
18:03.855 --> 18:06.604
"desperate for my help.
18:06.605 --> 18:09.270
"I meet him halfway
18:09.271 --> 18:13.770
"and use my palm
to push the knife in deeper.
18:13.771 --> 18:16.104
"I stare into his eyes,
18:16.105 --> 18:19.313
"wanting him to know
how much I enjoy this."
18:59.771 --> 19:01.104
Hey, you made it.
19:01.105 --> 19:02.479
Hi.
19:02.480 --> 19:04.229
Uh, a little sooner
than we expected.
19:04.230 --> 19:05.395
Sorry.
19:05.396 --> 19:07.062
No, no, no, no. No.
19:07.063 --> 19:08.895
It's totally fine.
19:08.896 --> 19:11.063
This is who
I was talking about, buddy.
19:12.688 --> 19:15.562
I'm Lowen. What's your name?
19:15.563 --> 19:17.438
- I'm Crew.
- Hi, Crew.
19:19.646 --> 19:21.729
He's so cute.
19:21.730 --> 19:23.937
He's a little shy.
19:23.938 --> 19:25.355
That's okay.
19:26.355 --> 19:28.812
I'm a little shy, too.
19:28.813 --> 19:31.312
Come on in.
Let me take your bag.
19:31.313 --> 19:33.687
- Thank you.
- Of course.
20:14.938 --> 20:16.105
Pretty amazing, huh?
20:18.021 --> 20:19.230
Is that a field?
20:20.938 --> 20:22.063
It's a lake.
20:26.813 --> 20:28.604
Do you want me
to show your room?
20:28.605 --> 20:31.020
Or, I mean, are you hungry?
You must be.
20:31.021 --> 20:33.729
I mean, it's such
a long drive from the city.
20:33.730 --> 20:36.062
Crew and I are having PBJs
and sliced apples,
20:36.063 --> 20:37.812
if you want some.
I'm sure we can rustle up
20:37.813 --> 20:38.937
something
a little better, though.
20:38.938 --> 20:40.770
I'm okay. Thank you.
20:40.771 --> 20:42.104
Yeah?
20:42.105 --> 20:44.312
Okay. Well,
fridge is fully stocked.
20:44.313 --> 20:46.770
If you want anything,
just help yourself.
20:46.771 --> 20:48.229
Can I go see Mommy?
20:48.230 --> 20:49.395
Yeah, of course, buddy.
20:49.396 --> 20:51.105
Just go talk to Anna first,
all right?
20:55.938 --> 20:57.562
You get the main bedroom.
20:57.563 --> 20:59.145
I hope you don't mind.
20:59.146 --> 21:01.020
Um, we all sleep upstairs now,
21:01.021 --> 21:02.145
and so we just thought
21:02.146 --> 21:03.354
that this room would be best
21:03.355 --> 21:04.645
'cause it's closest
to Verity's office,
21:04.646 --> 21:06.438
which is just right down there.
21:07.771 --> 21:09.105
Okay.
21:10.188 --> 21:11.604
The bathroom is all yours.
21:11.605 --> 21:13.062
Uh, there should
be toiletries in there,
21:13.063 --> 21:14.979
but if there isn't,
just let me know
21:14.980 --> 21:16.813
and we can get
whatever you need.
21:19.688 --> 21:21.021
Wow.
21:21.480 --> 21:22.813
Thank you.
21:23.980 --> 21:26.187
Yep.
21:26.188 --> 21:29.062
So, do you want some time
to just, like, get settled
21:29.063 --> 21:31.646
or do you want me
to show you the office?
21:39.813 --> 21:41.646
- The office.
- Okay.
21:47.021 --> 21:49.937
She saved everything
on her computer,
21:49.938 --> 21:51.187
in boxes.
21:51.188 --> 21:53.312
There's no order to it, though.
21:53.313 --> 21:55.354
She wasn't the most
organized person.
21:55.355 --> 21:57.188
Most writers aren't.
22:00.230 --> 22:01.813
- Wow.
- Mm-hmm.
22:18.980 --> 22:20.396
Which one is your favorite?
22:22.271 --> 22:24.895
Honestly, I haven't read any
of them since the first one.
22:24.896 --> 22:26.645
I didn't like being in her head.
22:26.646 --> 22:29.520
Hmm. Can I meet her?
22:44.396 --> 22:46.520
Anna, this is Lowen Ashleigh,
22:46.521 --> 22:47.895
the author
I was telling you about.
22:47.896 --> 22:49.062
Hi, Crew.
22:49.063 --> 22:51.020
- Hi.
- Lowen,
22:51.021 --> 22:54.104
this is Anna, Verity's nurse.
22:54.105 --> 22:55.937
Hi. Nice to meet you.
22:55.938 --> 22:57.520
Hello, Lowen.
22:57.521 --> 22:59.395
Nice to meet you, too.
22:59.396 --> 23:00.896
I thought you'd be older.
23:02.230 --> 23:03.646
Is now a good time?
23:05.105 --> 23:07.271
We were just
about to take a walk.
23:10.521 --> 23:13.645
Verity, this is Lowen Ashleigh.
23:22.730 --> 23:25.855
Hi, Verity. How are you?
23:27.313 --> 23:29.146
How are you today, Verity?
23:31.813 --> 23:33.187
We're good.
23:33.188 --> 23:36.604
Took some meds
and ready for the fresh air.
23:36.605 --> 23:38.855
Okay. Should be
an easy evening then.
23:57.021 --> 23:58.855
Would you have come if you knew?
24:01.730 --> 24:02.970
We need to keep things close...
24:04.396 --> 24:05.895
because of the media.
24:05.896 --> 24:08.229
And if Hachette found out,
it would just be...
24:08.230 --> 24:10.354
There's no way
I can help her write.
24:10.355 --> 24:11.770
I... I can't.
24:11.771 --> 24:14.271
Verity was inspired
by your writing.
24:15.396 --> 24:18.312
You're the only writer
who can do this.
24:18.313 --> 24:19.480
I'm certain of it, Lowen.
24:41.771 --> 24:43.770
Chapter after chapter
of intrigue
24:43.771 --> 24:46.937
and fucked-up characters.
24:46.938 --> 24:48.355
Really fucked-up characters.
24:53.896 --> 24:57.313
All her books are from
the villain's point of view.
24:58.063 --> 24:59.896
That's new to me.
26:09.938 --> 26:12.312
"Author's note.
26:12.313 --> 26:16.520
"The thing I abhor most
about autobiographies
26:16.521 --> 26:21.437
"are the counterfeit thoughts
draped over every sentence.
26:21.438 --> 26:24.145
"A writer should never have
the audacity,
26:24.146 --> 26:25.937
"to write about themselves
26:25.938 --> 26:27.687
"unless they are willing
to separate
26:27.688 --> 26:29.354
"every layer of protection
26:29.355 --> 26:32.980
"between their soul
and the book.
26:34.021 --> 26:35.520
"The words
26:35.521 --> 26:38.729

from the center of the gut,
26:38.730 --> 26:41.395
"tearing through flesh and bone
26:41.396 --> 26:43.645
"as they break free.
26:43.646 --> 26:45.395

26:48.438 --> 26:50.479
"and a little bit terrifying,
26:50.480 --> 26:53.770
"but completely exposed."
26:53.771 --> 26:55.688
Ow.
27:14.896 --> 27:17.645
"Autobiography
encouraging the reader
27:17.646 --> 27:19.479
"to like the author
27:19.480 --> 27:22.937
"is not a true autobiography.
27:22.938 --> 27:24.979

27:24.980 --> 27:27.563
"From the inside out.
27:28.896 --> 27:32.354
"One should only walk away
from an autobiography
27:32.355 --> 27:35.562
"with, at best,
27:35.563 --> 27:38.312
"an uncomfortable distaste
27:38.313 --> 27:39.980
"for its author."
27:42.688 --> 27:43.896
Yet...
27:44.980 --> 27:48.229
even with my generous warning...
27:48.230 --> 27:51.313
you're going to continue
to ingest my words...
27:51.938 --> 27:53.146
because...
27:54.396 --> 27:55.896
here you are...
27:56.980 --> 27:58.230
human...
28:00.521 --> 28:01.771
curious.
28:04.980 --> 28:06.021
Carry on.
28:13.355 --> 28:14.729
"But know one thing,
28:14.730 --> 28:18.062
"there is no light
where we're going."
28:26.896 --> 28:28.979
"Chapter one.
28:28.980 --> 28:30.270
"I sometimes think back
28:30.271 --> 28:33.479
"on the night I met Jeremy
and wonder...
28:33.480 --> 28:37.062
"'Was it my destiny to suffer
from the beginning
28:37.063 --> 28:41.146
"'or is my tragic end
the result of poor choices?'"
28:45.730 --> 28:48.604
"I wouldn't say I was lost
before I met Jeremy,
28:48.605 --> 28:52.188
"but I had certainly
never been found."
28:55.146 --> 28:57.812
"I had no interest in love.
28:57.813 --> 29:02.062
"I was just looking
for a well-funded fling.

"And, judging
by the looks of Jeremy...
29:06.063 --> 29:08.020
"I was gonna leave that party
an overachiever."
29:17.146 --> 29:19.730
Serve her only water
for the rest of the evening.
29:24.563 --> 29:26.395
I'm perfectly capable of knowing
29:26.396 --> 29:28.104
when I've had enough to drink.
29:28.105 --> 29:29.229
I'm sure you are.
29:29.230 --> 29:30.354
I'd like another.
29:30.355 --> 29:31.645
I'm sorry, ma'am.
29:31.646 --> 29:33.896
I've been asked
to serve you water.
29:36.521 --> 29:37.771
Is this some kind of prank?
29:40.021 --> 29:43.062
I've been watching you
since I walked in.
29:43.063 --> 29:45.187
You've had three drinks
in the last 45 minutes,
29:45.188 --> 29:46.520
and if you keep going
at that rate,
29:46.521 --> 29:48.812
I'll feel uncomfortable
29:48.813 --> 29:51.729
asking you to leave with me.
29:51.730 --> 29:54.146
To make that choice,
I would like you to be sober.
30:04.688 --> 30:06.688
I'll have a water.
30:07.188 --> 30:08.688
Make that two.
30:49.938 --> 30:51.729
"We were both in trouble.
30:51.730 --> 30:54.145
"But love is like that.
30:54.146 --> 30:56.063
"Total blindside."
31:06.730 --> 31:08.562
How long do we have?
31:08.563 --> 31:10.270
Where's your driver?
31:10.271 --> 31:12.062
I don't know.
31:12.063 --> 31:13.730
This isn't my car.
31:15.688 --> 31:17.312
Excuse me?
31:17.313 --> 31:19.104
I drive a Honda Civic.
31:19.105 --> 31:20.979
Hey!
31:20.980 --> 31:22.687
The fuck you guys doin'
in my limo?
31:27.646 --> 31:29.979
Come on, we gotta go!
31:29.980 --> 31:32.063
"Before we knew it,
we were hooked.
31:32.688 --> 31:34.479
"Junkies.
31:34.480 --> 31:36.312
- "I was his drug..."
- Thanks!
31:36.313 --> 31:38.033
- Thank you so much!
- "...and he was mine."
31:39.230 --> 31:40.395
Oh, my God!
31:40.396 --> 31:42.312
"Until he discovered
the one thing
31:42.313 --> 31:44.854
"that meant more to him
than I did."
33:34.730 --> 33:38.062
It's noisy. I know.
33:38.063 --> 33:40.479
- Oh... God, you scared me.
- I didn't mean to.
33:40.480 --> 33:43.812
It's Verity's hospital bed.
And it...
33:43.813 --> 33:45.312
I can turn it off
if you want me to.
33:45.313 --> 33:46.313
No, it's fine.
33:47.230 --> 33:48.395
It's on a timer.
33:48.396 --> 33:50.062
It just takes the weight off
33:50.063 --> 33:51.646
her pressure points.
33:53.188 --> 33:54.770
It's really late.
33:54.771 --> 33:55.980
Are you hungry?
33:58.146 --> 34:00.770
Anna usually does meal prep,
34:00.771 --> 34:03.729
but I am a genius
when it comes to putting...
34:03.730 --> 34:05.687
a slice of pizza
in the microwave, so...
34:05.688 --> 34:07.645
Wow.
34:07.646 --> 34:09.021
- Thank you.
- Enjoy.
34:10.396 --> 34:12.230
How's the excavation goin'?
34:13.188 --> 34:15.145
You were right. It is a lot.
34:15.146 --> 34:16.395
Yeah.
34:16.396 --> 34:19.187
She was constantly taking notes.
34:19.188 --> 34:22.188
There was this one time
that we were at the zoo...
34:24.063 --> 34:25.479
and she didn't have
anything to write on
34:25.480 --> 34:26.812
so she took a Sharpie
34:26.813 --> 34:30.271
and she wrote character names
on Crew's diaper.
34:33.230 --> 34:35.480
How did you and Verity meet?
34:36.646 --> 34:39.395
We met at a party,
34:39.396 --> 34:40.645
and she was wearing pretty much
34:40.646 --> 34:42.771
the most amazing dress
I'd ever seen.
34:44.396 --> 34:45.938
So we left the party together,
34:46.813 --> 34:48.479
and when we got outside,
34:48.480 --> 34:51.020
there was a limo,
and I opened the door to it
34:51.021 --> 34:53.145
and she got in,
34:53.146 --> 34:54.395
and then the driver came back
34:54.396 --> 34:56.480
and I had to admit
the limo wasn't mine.
35:16.855 --> 35:17.979
"One night,
35:17.980 --> 35:19.854
"he suggested I move in with him
35:19.855 --> 35:20.855
"during sex.
35:21.688 --> 35:23.770
"He does that sometimes.
35:23.771 --> 35:26.020
"Makes huge decisions
about our lives together
35:26.021 --> 35:27.605
"while he's fucking me."
35:34.771 --> 35:36.396
Move in with me.
35:37.646 --> 35:39.271
Break your lease.
36:43.438 --> 36:45.687
"And that was that.
36:45.688 --> 36:48.021
"I was happier
than I'd ever been."
36:52.646 --> 36:54.312
"But when Jeremy was transferred
36:54.313 --> 36:56.729
"to another city for work,
36:56.730 --> 36:59.063
"I didn't think
I could survive."
37:01.813 --> 37:03.605
"And that is when
I became a writer."
37:08.230 --> 37:11.770
"My days were filled
with thoughts of Jeremy,
37:11.771 --> 37:14.604
"and if I didn't figure out
how to fill them
37:14.605 --> 37:17.020
"with thoughts of something
else until he returned,
37:17.021 --> 37:18.395
"I was afraid
37:18.396 --> 37:19.520
"I wouldn't be able to hide
37:19.521 --> 37:22.021
"how much his absence gutted me.
37:23.938 --> 37:27.812
"I wrote an entire novel
in the few months he was gone.
37:27.813 --> 37:31.688
"I created a fictional Jeremy
and called him 'Lane.'"
37:33.646 --> 37:35.562
"Never in my wildest dreams
37:35.563 --> 37:38.396
"could I have imagined
where it would all lead."
37:39.730 --> 37:41.520
"When Jeremy
finally returned home,
37:41.521 --> 37:43.312
"it was
in the middle of the night."
37:43.313 --> 37:44.854
- Verity...
- "I was fast asleep."
37:44.855 --> 37:46.020
- Hey, wake up...
- Hi.
37:46.021 --> 37:47.688
- Wake up, wake up.
- What?
37:48.396 --> 37:49.563
Hey.
37:50.563 --> 37:52.646
I read your manuscript.
37:53.605 --> 37:54.771
What?
37:56.521 --> 37:57.855
No.
37:58.688 --> 37:59.979
Jeremy, no.
37:59.980 --> 38:02.312
I told you not...
You said... You promised.
38:02.313 --> 38:04.812
- I couldn't help myself.
- How could you do that?
38:04.813 --> 38:05.813
It's good.
38:07.230 --> 38:08.562
What?
38:08.563 --> 38:10.896
It's really good.
38:12.730 --> 38:14.145
Say it again.
38:14.146 --> 38:15.687
You're fucking brilliant.
38:15.688 --> 38:18.104
"It was the first
taste of what it felt like
38:18.105 --> 38:21.105
"for a reader to enjoy
what I had created for them.
38:22.730 --> 38:24.229
"That one comment,
38:24.230 --> 38:27.812
"that one sweet,
38:27.813 --> 38:30.812
"simple comment
38:30.813 --> 38:32.688
"meant so much to me."
38:38.313 --> 38:39.813
You bit me.
38:41.855 --> 38:43.313
You deserve it.
38:58.646 --> 39:00.480
Marry me, Verity.
39:02.563 --> 39:03.813
Why?
39:04.646 --> 39:06.396
Because I'm your biggest fan.
39:09.605 --> 39:10.688
Okay.
39:11.938 --> 39:13.271
Thank you.
40:32.355 --> 40:34.354
"And here was another,
and a pair of shoes,
40:34.355 --> 40:37.770
"and beside them
a suitcase and an old rug.
40:37.771 --> 40:39.604
"If Grace had allowed that man
40:39.605 --> 40:41.354
"to put his things in her lobby,
40:41.355 --> 40:44.605
"then Grace would go tonight.
Crisis had come."
40:46.480 --> 40:47.896
I'll be right back.
41:05.521 --> 41:09.479
All right. Crew is downstairs.
Homework is over.
41:09.480 --> 41:12.230
Ready to go back? Okay.
41:19.980 --> 41:21.104
She's catatonic.
41:21.105 --> 41:24.104
She can't walk, she can't move.
41:24.105 --> 41:25.270
And then,
41:25.271 --> 41:27.437
this morning,
I was watching her,
41:27.438 --> 41:29.562
and then she just
suddenly turned
41:29.563 --> 41:31.395
and looked directly at me.
41:31.396 --> 41:33.729
Didn't you just say
she can't move or talk?
41:33.730 --> 41:34.895
I know. I know.
41:34.896 --> 41:37.687
She can't. I feel
like I'm losing my mind.
41:37.688 --> 41:40.520
Lowen, you are
going through a lot right now.
41:40.521 --> 41:42.729
There's a lot you have
to deal with.
41:42.730 --> 41:44.729
You're grieving,
you're stressed.
41:44.730 --> 41:45.979
Mm-hmm.
41:45.980 --> 41:47.770
Just keep your head down, okay?
41:47.771 --> 41:50.979
You just need to do
what you're there to do.
41:50.980 --> 41:54.105
And then just get the fuck
outta there, okay?
41:54.813 --> 41:57.104
Yeah, okay.
42:43.688 --> 42:45.437
- Again!
- No, no, no!
43:07.688 --> 43:08.812
Wham. Right here.
43:08.813 --> 43:09.937
Right there?
Not over here?
43:09.938 --> 43:11.437
- Over here, right?
- Okay...
43:11.438 --> 43:13.437
- No?
- Put 'em right here!
43:13.438 --> 43:16.145
Right here!
Oh, no, you didn't.
43:16.146 --> 43:18.395
- No, no, no!
- Yes, I did.
43:18.396 --> 43:20.187
- Hey.
- Hi.
43:20.188 --> 43:22.270
You've been in there all day.
43:22.271 --> 43:23.562
Are you making progress?
43:23.563 --> 43:24.729
Yeah.
43:24.730 --> 43:26.771
I'm starting
to piece it all together.
43:27.313 --> 43:28.645
Yeah.
43:28.646 --> 43:29.937
What are you doing?
43:29.938 --> 43:31.979
You, um,
making a big pile of wood?
43:31.980 --> 43:33.770
There's a rotted-out shed
up there.
43:33.771 --> 43:35.395
Crew is the foreman.
43:35.396 --> 43:36.604
Cool.
43:36.605 --> 43:38.771
But big pile of wood. Yeah.
43:40.146 --> 43:41.396
Lowen?
43:43.146 --> 43:44.395
Hi.
43:44.396 --> 43:45.730
I'm heading out to the store.
43:47.855 --> 43:49.229
Okay.
43:49.230 --> 43:50.770
Verity is taking a nap.
43:50.771 --> 43:51.771
Okay.
44:00.355 --> 44:01.771
Yeah.
44:02.313 --> 44:03.563
Hi, Crew.
44:05.188 --> 44:06.355
Hi.
44:08.063 --> 44:10.812
I was just taking
a little break from working.
44:10.813 --> 44:13.020
Can I come play with you?
44:13.021 --> 44:14.021
Um...
44:15.230 --> 44:16.771
I'm helping my dad.
44:17.521 --> 44:18.771
Okay.
44:20.105 --> 44:21.896
We can play another time.
44:22.271 --> 44:23.355
Okay.
45:23.146 --> 45:25.104
"It was around the third month,
45:25.105 --> 45:28.354
"a few weeks after I found out
I was pregnant,
45:28.355 --> 45:30.771
"that I started
to notice the difference.
45:32.438 --> 45:34.520
"My hand was flat on my stomach,
45:34.521 --> 45:36.770
"and I felt
something foreign."
45:39.105 --> 45:40.812
"It was disgusting."
45:53.063 --> 45:54.063
Wow.
45:55.605 --> 45:57.105
Look at you.
45:58.896 --> 46:01.020
I still can't believe
we're having twins.
46:08.355 --> 46:11.229
Are you still attracted to me?
46:11.230 --> 46:14.063
You're the most beautiful
you've ever been.
46:15.438 --> 46:17.604
I'm so attracted to you.
46:17.605 --> 46:20.645
"It was a lie
to make me feel better...
46:20.646 --> 46:22.520
"but I was grateful.
46:22.521 --> 46:24.270
"I squeezed his hands
46:24.271 --> 46:26.895
"and he spun me around
to face him.
46:26.896 --> 46:28.145
"Then he kissed me
46:28.146 --> 46:30.770
"and lifted me
onto the bathroom counter
46:30.771 --> 46:33.270
"and stood between my legs.
46:33.271 --> 46:36.270
"I was completely naked.
46:36.271 --> 46:39.020
"The only thing between us
were his pants
46:39.021 --> 46:40.687
"and the grotesque pooch
46:40.688 --> 46:43.063
"I was still
trying to suck in."
46:46.188 --> 46:47.687
"By six months,
46:47.688 --> 46:50.605
"I felt like
I was about to pop."
46:51.105 --> 46:52.105
Mm...
46:52.855 --> 46:54.021
Someone's hungry.
46:54.355 --> 46:55.687
Mm...
46:55.688 --> 46:57.687
No, I'm not.
46:57.688 --> 46:59.355
Not you, baby. Them.
47:01.771 --> 47:03.562
Did you feel that one?
47:03.563 --> 47:05.188
Yeah.
47:10.105 --> 47:11.312
Jeremy?
47:11.313 --> 47:12.313
Yeah?
47:13.938 --> 47:15.188
Do you love them?
47:16.563 --> 47:18.480
I love them more than anything.
47:22.521 --> 47:24.021
More than me?
47:26.563 --> 47:28.313
Different from you.
47:29.188 --> 47:31.063
Different, yeah.
47:33.355 --> 47:34.771
But that's how
it should be, right?
47:37.271 --> 47:38.770
Do you feel guilty
because you love them
47:38.771 --> 47:40.687
more than you love me?
47:40.688 --> 47:42.438
Don't feel guilty.
47:43.688 --> 47:46.812
You should love them
more than you love me.
47:46.813 --> 47:48.312
Our love for each other
is conditional,
47:48.313 --> 47:50.480
but our love for them isn't.
47:54.938 --> 47:57.563
My love for you
is unconditional.
48:01.771 --> 48:04.270
Yeah, baby. My love for you
is unconditional, too.
48:04.271 --> 48:05.396
That's what I meant.
48:08.646 --> 48:12.479
"I started wishing
I'd never got pregnant.
48:12.480 --> 48:15.395
"I fantasized
that if we had no children,
48:15.396 --> 48:18.770
"he would make me
his priority again.
48:18.771 --> 48:22.104
"But there was no turning back.
48:22.105 --> 48:23.437
"Jeremy wanted them,
48:23.438 --> 48:26.188
"and so that was that."
48:31.896 --> 48:33.854
Are you ready to move on
to the next wing?
48:33.855 --> 48:35.729
Yes, I am. Thank you.
48:35.730 --> 48:37.438
- To you.
- To you.
48:38.730 --> 48:40.145
Mm.
48:40.146 --> 48:42.354
Did any part of your
cozy Chelsea apartment,
48:42.355 --> 48:43.770
where you wrote your first book,
48:43.771 --> 48:45.062
serve as a reference?
48:45.063 --> 48:46.687
You know,
it's where our family started.
48:46.688 --> 48:49.563
It's where my career
as a writer started.
48:53.105 --> 48:55.479
I love being able
to tell my children stories,
48:55.480 --> 48:57.187
and then I love to,
48:57.188 --> 48:58.895
like I said,
shut myself up in my lair
48:58.896 --> 49:02.437
and, um, terrorize
the rest of the world.
49:02.438 --> 49:05.520
"I hate myself for thinking
I could do this...
49:06.771 --> 49:08.355
"...and everything
would be all right."
49:13.563 --> 49:16.980
"Everything
was not all right."
49:18.730 --> 49:20.479
"Crew was fairly quiet,
49:20.480 --> 49:23.645
"but Harper cried
49:23.646 --> 49:25.271
"constantly."
49:27.313 --> 49:29.687
"It was like
she was trying to punish me.
49:29.688 --> 49:31.479
"Telling me I was a bad mother.
49:31.480 --> 49:34.062
"I'm certain of it."
49:34.063 --> 49:35.479
- Hey. I'll be right back.
- "When Jeremy finally
49:35.480 --> 49:36.895
"went back to work,
49:36.896 --> 49:38.854
"I was terrified of being
left alone with them."
49:38.855 --> 49:40.020
- Bye. See ya.
- Bye.
49:40.021 --> 49:41.229
"We couldn't afford a nanny
49:41.230 --> 49:42.520
"because the advance
I had received
49:42.521 --> 49:45.355
"for the sale of my first book
was too small.
49:46.980 --> 49:48.562
"However,
49:48.563 --> 49:50.062
"him leaving turned out to be
49:50.063 --> 49:52.229
"the best thing
that ever happened to me."
49:53.813 --> 49:56.020
"He would leave
at 7:00 in the morning
49:56.021 --> 49:57.354
"and I would wake up with him
49:57.355 --> 49:59.438
"so he could see me
caring for the twins.
50:01.146 --> 50:03.145
"I would put them
in their cribs,
50:03.146 --> 50:04.437
"unplug their monitors..."
50:04.438 --> 50:05.645
"...and go back to bed."
50:12.063 --> 50:13.479
"I began getting more sleep
50:13.480 --> 50:14.812
"than I think
50:14.813 --> 50:16.146
"I'd ever gotten."
50:20.230 --> 50:21.729
"Every night when he would
50:21.730 --> 50:24.187
"walk in the door,
the babies would be calm.
50:24.188 --> 50:25.354
"The smell of dinner
50:25.355 --> 50:26.854
"would be coming
from the kitchen.
50:26.855 --> 50:28.270
"And he'd be blown away
50:28.271 --> 50:30.438
"by how well
I was tackling everything."
50:33.605 --> 50:35.854
"And the twins
would sleep all night
50:35.855 --> 50:39.020
"from the exhaustion
from crying all day.
50:39.021 --> 50:41.145
"It was probably good for them.
50:41.146 --> 50:42.937
"The best part was,
50:42.938 --> 50:44.312
"I was able to write most nights
50:44.313 --> 50:46.354
"while everyone slept.
50:46.355 --> 50:48.062
"The only place that was lacking
50:48.063 --> 50:49.646
"was in the bedroom."
50:51.480 --> 50:54.604
"It was like I was
going through withdrawal."
50:56.146 --> 50:59.770
"Jeremy no longer worshiped
me, no longer loved me."
51:06.063 --> 51:07.895
"When the twins were born,
51:07.896 --> 51:10.854
"Jeremy talked a lot about SIDS
51:10.855 --> 51:13.104
"and read a lot about it.
51:13.105 --> 51:16.437
"Which meant I listened
to a lot about it.
51:16.438 --> 51:20.437
"What I found
most fascinating was that
51:20.438 --> 51:23.395
"it's hard to tell
the difference between SIDS
51:23.396 --> 51:24.562
"and suffocation."
51:38.896 --> 51:40.562
Hey.
51:40.563 --> 51:42.729
Hey.
51:42.730 --> 51:43.979
How's she doing?
51:43.980 --> 51:46.270
- She's fine.
- Crew?
51:46.271 --> 51:48.146
I'm gonna check on him next.
51:53.021 --> 51:54.855
How did this get in here?
51:56.730 --> 51:59.604
Did I leave that in there
when I put them down?
51:59.605 --> 52:00.979
It's okay.
52:00.980 --> 52:03.229
It's okay.
52:03.230 --> 52:05.479
"I have to accept
this personal hell
52:05.480 --> 52:07.895
"where I'll be forced
to raise these children
52:07.896 --> 52:10.688
"and act like I love them
for the rest of their lives."
52:12.813 --> 52:13.813
Ugh.
52:35.271 --> 52:36.471
Can I help you find something?
52:45.313 --> 52:47.313
Is there any alcohol
in the house?
52:48.355 --> 52:49.688
Yes.
52:58.188 --> 52:59.188
Thank you.
53:00.438 --> 53:01.521
Sure.
53:09.896 --> 53:12.355
What's going on?
53:15.688 --> 53:17.271
Your wife...
53:18.563 --> 53:21.230
She has this...
53:23.980 --> 53:25.520
Um...
53:25.521 --> 53:28.729
Her books freak me out.
53:28.730 --> 53:31.229
And yet you write...
53:31.230 --> 53:33.395
in the same genre.
53:33.396 --> 53:36.230
Yeah, well,
sometimes my own writing...
53:37.688 --> 53:40.187
freaks me out, too.
53:40.188 --> 53:41.937
Maybe you should switch
to romance.
53:44.021 --> 53:46.730
Mm-hmm. Yeah, I probably will.
53:52.480 --> 53:53.604
You missed dinner.
53:53.605 --> 53:54.895
This is still warm
if you want some.
53:54.896 --> 53:56.937
Okay. I should eat.
53:56.938 --> 53:57.938
Okay.
54:02.105 --> 54:04.188
- Thank you.
- 'Course.
54:10.188 --> 54:11.480
Mm.
54:19.396 --> 54:22.313
Can I ask a question?
54:24.896 --> 54:26.270
'Course.
54:26.271 --> 54:29.188
Just tell me
if I'm being too nosy.
54:30.438 --> 54:31.605
But...
54:32.480 --> 54:34.520
is it possible that
54:34.521 --> 54:36.938
Verity could make
a full recovery?
54:37.938 --> 54:38.938
Um...
54:41.521 --> 54:42.979
No.
54:42.980 --> 54:47.146
The doctors don't think she'll
ever walk or talk again.
54:47.938 --> 54:51.770
So she's paralyzed?
54:51.771 --> 54:53.937
There wasn't any damage
to her spinal cord,
54:53.938 --> 54:56.021
but her mind is...
54:59.396 --> 55:00.854
She has basic reflexes.
55:00.855 --> 55:02.271
She can eat...
55:03.105 --> 55:05.105
and drink and blink...
55:06.021 --> 55:07.313
and move a little.
55:08.646 --> 55:10.646
But none of it's intentional.
55:13.396 --> 55:17.187
We hope that,
with continued therapy,
55:17.188 --> 55:19.813
she'll be able to improve
a little bit more.
55:21.146 --> 55:22.688
But who knows?
55:27.521 --> 55:29.021
Daddy?
55:30.313 --> 55:32.937
Hey, buddy. What's up?
55:32.938 --> 55:34.938
- Ready for bed.
- Okay, yeah.
55:36.188 --> 55:37.354
Did you brush your teeth?
55:37.355 --> 55:39.563
- Yep.
- Okay, good. Let me smell.
55:40.730 --> 55:42.812
Ah! Let's go say
good night to Mommy.
55:42.813 --> 55:44.437
Good night, Lowen.
55:44.438 --> 55:45.480
Good night.
56:11.021 --> 56:14.063
That's Harper.
56:16.771 --> 56:18.105
What was she like?
56:18.855 --> 56:21.354
She was...
56:21.355 --> 56:22.938
She was amazing.
56:25.355 --> 56:27.355
Not sure Verity understood her
the way I did.
56:31.313 --> 56:34.354
She had trouble
expressing her emotions,
56:34.355 --> 56:35.770
but I felt like
I could just read
56:35.771 --> 56:37.937
what she needed, you know?
56:37.938 --> 56:39.605
I knew what made her tick.
56:40.813 --> 56:43.520
What made her happy,
what made her sad...
56:43.521 --> 56:45.687
even when she had a tough time
56:45.688 --> 56:47.604
revealing all of that
to the world.
56:47.605 --> 56:50.145
But she was...
56:50.146 --> 56:51.396
amazing.
56:57.355 --> 56:59.813
Were they close,
Harper and Crew?
57:00.605 --> 57:01.688
Yeah.
57:02.271 --> 57:03.521
They were.
57:08.938 --> 57:10.979
He...
57:10.980 --> 57:12.813
hasn't even asked about her.
57:15.063 --> 57:16.063
Not once.
57:18.063 --> 57:20.645
Hasn't even mentioned her name.
57:20.646 --> 57:24.520
I took him to therapy for
a couple of months, and, uh,
57:24.521 --> 57:25.687
I was just afraid that maybe
57:25.688 --> 57:28.645
it was a weekly reminder
of everything.
57:31.021 --> 57:32.770
So I pulled him out.
57:32.771 --> 57:34.271
But I'll bring him back...
57:35.730 --> 57:38.312
if he shows any signs
of needing it
57:38.313 --> 57:40.396
and make sure he's okay.
57:46.980 --> 57:48.271
And you?
57:50.230 --> 57:51.896
What about me?
57:53.980 --> 57:55.313
How are you?
57:58.980 --> 58:00.563
I'm fine.
58:25.521 --> 58:26.521
Dad?
58:28.396 --> 58:30.187
Yeah, buddy.
58:30.188 --> 58:31.938
I can't sleep.
58:35.355 --> 58:37.313
Okay, I'm coming.
01:02:01.896 --> 01:02:03.855
Time for some applesauce.
01:02:07.563 --> 01:02:09.063
Okay.
01:02:14.688 --> 01:02:15.854
Hi, Lowen.
01:02:15.855 --> 01:02:17.520
So, where are you
in your process?
01:02:17.521 --> 01:02:18.937
Our Marketing and PR team
01:02:18.938 --> 01:02:20.395
are eager to get
an announcement out...
01:02:20.396 --> 01:02:23.270
That is all pending
our approval, right?
01:02:23.271 --> 01:02:24.520
- Yes, of course.
- Okay.
01:02:24.521 --> 01:02:26.479
But we do need some lead time.
That's all.
01:02:26.480 --> 01:02:28.812
Well, Lowen
is a very fast writer.
01:02:28.813 --> 01:02:30.229
Right, Low?
01:02:30.230 --> 01:02:33.396
Yes. Yeah.
You'll have what you need.
01:03:07.230 --> 01:03:10.479
I've pretty much made
it through all the notes,
01:03:10.480 --> 01:03:14.105
so I'll probably
start writing soon.
01:03:17.396 --> 01:03:20.355
I think I'll leave
in the next day or two.
01:03:22.188 --> 01:03:23.355
Yeah?
01:03:24.855 --> 01:03:26.645
Yeah.
01:03:26.646 --> 01:03:29.063
Thank you for letting me stay.
01:03:31.105 --> 01:03:33.271
Yeah, I wish it could have
been a little longer.
01:03:34.771 --> 01:03:37.605
I feel like I barely
got to know you.
01:03:38.980 --> 01:03:41.105
What do you wanna know?
01:03:42.605 --> 01:03:44.104
What's your birthday?
01:03:44.105 --> 01:03:46.355
God.
01:03:47.230 --> 01:03:48.980
What? What's so funny?
01:03:50.063 --> 01:03:53.646
My birthday was yesterday.
01:03:54.771 --> 01:03:55.895
Shut up.
01:03:55.896 --> 01:03:57.646
Seriously?
01:03:58.646 --> 01:04:00.354
You're lying.
01:04:00.355 --> 01:04:02.312
I'm not lying.
01:04:02.313 --> 01:04:04.562
We have to celebrate, obviously.
01:04:04.563 --> 01:04:06.480
- No.
- Yeah.
01:04:08.271 --> 01:04:10.020
There's one good restaurant
in town.
01:04:10.021 --> 01:04:14.938
It's the best Bavarian
restaurant in rural Vermont.
01:04:15.646 --> 01:04:17.062
Hands down.
01:04:17.063 --> 01:04:19.020
It has amazing Wiener schnitzel.
01:04:19.021 --> 01:04:20.562
Wow.
01:04:20.563 --> 01:04:22.520
That sounds really irresistible.
01:04:22.521 --> 01:04:25.604
I'm... I'm really not
a celebration person.
01:04:25.605 --> 01:04:27.229
Okay.
01:04:27.230 --> 01:04:29.479
Could be fun.
01:04:29.480 --> 01:04:31.396
We could get dressed up,
order some good wine.
01:04:35.313 --> 01:04:37.730
I didn't pack
for a special occasion.
01:04:40.188 --> 01:04:41.604
Verity has lots of fancy clothes
01:04:41.605 --> 01:04:43.405
if you wanna borrow something
from her closet.
01:05:22.230 --> 01:05:23.937
Let's see...
01:05:23.938 --> 01:05:25.979
- Look, there's a...
- No, no, no. If I get...
01:05:25.980 --> 01:05:27.979
- My stickies.
- Don't fake cry.
01:05:27.980 --> 01:05:29.563
Don't fake cry to me.
01:05:31.646 --> 01:05:33.229
Ha-ha, you took the pieces.
01:05:33.230 --> 01:05:34.354
No, that's not right.
01:05:34.355 --> 01:05:35.355
Hi.
01:05:37.396 --> 01:05:39.021
Hi.
01:05:39.438 --> 01:05:41.437
Hi.
01:05:41.438 --> 01:05:43.229
Hey, Low.
Can I tell you a joke?
01:05:43.230 --> 01:05:44.437
Yes, please.
01:05:44.438 --> 01:05:46.605
What is E.T. short for?
01:05:47.855 --> 01:05:49.020
Tell me.
01:05:49.021 --> 01:05:50.312
Because he has little legs.
01:05:50.313 --> 01:05:52.104
He has little legs.
01:05:52.105 --> 01:05:54.187
That's a good one.
01:05:54.188 --> 01:05:55.895
Um, knock, knock.
01:05:55.896 --> 01:05:57.729
- Who's there?
- Interrupting cow.
01:05:57.730 --> 01:05:58.854
"Interrupting cow" who?
01:05:58.855 --> 01:06:01.812
Moo.
01:06:01.813 --> 01:06:05.437
That's a new one
for the repertoire!
01:06:05.438 --> 01:06:06.770
Anna, we're leaving now.
01:06:06.771 --> 01:06:08.479
- Coming. Okay.
- I'll see you
01:06:08.480 --> 01:06:10.270
- when we get back.
- Okay.
01:06:10.271 --> 01:06:11.437
But probably more
in the morning, okay?
01:06:11.438 --> 01:06:12.729
So you be good
for Anna, all right?
01:06:12.730 --> 01:06:13.854
Okay. I love you.
01:06:13.855 --> 01:06:15.271
All right.
I love you, too.
01:06:18.771 --> 01:06:22.354
Okay. So, what's your process?
01:06:22.355 --> 01:06:24.062
- My process?
- Yeah.
01:06:24.063 --> 01:06:27.437
All writers have processes,
don't they? What's yours?
01:06:27.438 --> 01:06:29.063
Oh, God. Um...
01:06:31.688 --> 01:06:33.437
Um...
01:06:33.438 --> 01:06:34.645
Uh...
01:06:34.646 --> 01:06:35.646
Well, I...
01:06:36.771 --> 01:06:38.770
start writing...
01:06:38.771 --> 01:06:41.354
and then I hate
everything I write,
01:06:41.355 --> 01:06:43.270
but I keep writing,
01:06:43.271 --> 01:06:46.812
and then I finish the book,
01:06:46.813 --> 01:06:48.646
and I pretend I'm happy.
01:06:49.896 --> 01:06:51.229
That sounds healthy.
01:06:51.230 --> 01:06:53.687
- It's a really fun time.
- Mm.
01:06:53.688 --> 01:06:55.021
Okay, I have one more question.
01:06:56.563 --> 01:06:58.396
Are you hating this?
01:06:59.813 --> 01:07:01.605
Are you having any fun at all?
01:07:02.563 --> 01:07:03.729
I'm having fun.
01:07:03.730 --> 01:07:05.729
Does it not look
like I'm having fun?
01:07:05.730 --> 01:07:08.145
I can't tell from your...
01:07:08.146 --> 01:07:09.687
That's just my face.
01:07:09.688 --> 01:07:11.770
I have resting bored face.
01:07:11.771 --> 01:07:13.770
I get that a lot.
01:07:13.771 --> 01:07:16.479
But I am having a good time.
I promise.
01:07:16.480 --> 01:07:19.395
- Okay.
- This is, by far, the best
01:07:19.396 --> 01:07:21.770
Bavarian restaurant
I've ever been to.
01:07:21.771 --> 01:07:23.437
I told you. It's the best.
01:07:23.438 --> 01:07:26.437
The lederhosen
is a really nice touch.
01:07:26.438 --> 01:07:29.062
Makes me feel overdressed.
01:07:29.063 --> 01:07:30.604
No, no, it's like...
01:07:30.605 --> 01:07:32.521
this is, like,
German formal wear.
01:07:36.105 --> 01:07:37.605
Can I ask you one more question?
01:07:38.271 --> 01:07:39.271
Yeah.
01:07:40.771 --> 01:07:43.355
Do you think that I should
get Crew back into therapy?
01:07:44.021 --> 01:07:46.855
Yes. Definitely.
01:07:49.730 --> 01:07:51.480
Have you ever been in therapy?
01:07:51.938 --> 01:07:52.938
Yeah.
01:07:54.855 --> 01:07:57.188
It's the best thing
that ever happened to me.
01:07:58.396 --> 01:08:01.187
I was really troubled as a kid,
01:08:01.188 --> 01:08:04.105
and this therapist helped me
01:08:04.771 --> 01:08:06.312
understand that
01:08:06.313 --> 01:08:09.562
there wasn't
something wrong with me.
01:08:09.563 --> 01:08:13.770
And... after, like, years of,
you know,
01:08:13.771 --> 01:08:16.937
being told that I started
to believe it.
01:08:16.938 --> 01:08:19.521
But it... helped.
01:08:21.146 --> 01:08:23.271
Did your mom go with you?
To therapy?
01:08:26.896 --> 01:08:27.896
No.
01:08:29.980 --> 01:08:30.980
No.
01:08:33.105 --> 01:08:35.021
We were just very distant.
01:08:36.396 --> 01:08:38.271
She actually reminds me
a lot of...
01:08:40.896 --> 01:08:42.020
Uh...
01:08:42.021 --> 01:08:43.771
- Of who?
- The, um...
01:08:45.980 --> 01:08:48.312
The main character
in Verity's books.
01:08:48.313 --> 01:08:49.313
Oh.
01:08:50.855 --> 01:08:52.146
And that's bad?
01:08:53.230 --> 01:08:55.520
You really haven't read them?
01:08:55.521 --> 01:08:56.896
Only the first.
01:08:57.730 --> 01:08:59.854
Why?
01:08:59.855 --> 01:09:01.645
Because I couldn't fathom
01:09:01.646 --> 01:09:04.062
that that all came
from her imagination.
01:09:05.771 --> 01:09:08.562
She would always
get so angry at me
01:09:08.563 --> 01:09:11.645
for not reading her manuscripts.
01:09:11.646 --> 01:09:13.604
She needed my validation,
for some reason,
01:09:13.605 --> 01:09:15.980
even though the whole world
was validating her.
01:09:20.313 --> 01:09:21.563
Anyway...
01:09:24.480 --> 01:09:25.938
Where do you
get your validation?
01:09:27.730 --> 01:09:29.812
I don't.
01:09:29.813 --> 01:09:31.563
My books aren't popular.
I haven't...
01:09:32.896 --> 01:09:36.354
I mean, maybe I got,
like, a nice review
01:09:36.355 --> 01:09:38.188
here or there.
01:09:39.771 --> 01:09:41.229
But I've never
had the experience
01:09:41.230 --> 01:09:44.687
of somebody saying to my face,
01:09:44.688 --> 01:09:48.437
"Your writing
matters to me, Lowen."
01:09:48.438 --> 01:09:50.812
I... I imagine that
that would be nice.
01:09:50.813 --> 01:09:52.979
I have to tell you something.
01:09:55.855 --> 01:09:57.355
I lied to you.
01:09:59.271 --> 01:10:00.605
What did you lie about?
01:10:02.355 --> 01:10:05.396
Verity didn't read your book.
01:10:06.271 --> 01:10:08.645
Then why would you say that?
01:10:08.646 --> 01:10:10.605
I read your book.
01:10:11.313 --> 01:10:13.604
And it was...
01:10:13.605 --> 01:10:15.396
phenomenal.
01:10:16.146 --> 01:10:18.480
And I'm sorry, but I...
01:10:19.771 --> 01:10:22.895
I just knew that it wouldn't
mean as much
01:10:22.896 --> 01:10:25.187
coming from me
as it would from Verity,
01:10:25.188 --> 01:10:26.854
and for some reason,
I really wanted it
01:10:26.855 --> 01:10:29.188
to mean something to you.
01:10:33.355 --> 01:10:35.145
'Cause the thing is,
01:10:35.146 --> 01:10:37.855
your writing
matters to me, Lowen.
01:11:02.271 --> 01:11:10.271
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
01:11:10.688 --> 01:11:15.062
♪ Happy birthday, dear Lowen ♪
01:11:15.063 --> 01:11:19.105
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
01:11:19.730 --> 01:11:20.937
Thank you.
01:11:20.938 --> 01:11:22.271
You're welcome.
01:11:27.813 --> 01:11:29.645
What'd you wish for?
01:11:29.646 --> 01:11:32.521
I can't tell you.
01:11:36.396 --> 01:11:38.770
Hmm.
01:11:38.771 --> 01:11:42.187
Do you know what the secret is
to such a delicious cupcake?
01:11:42.188 --> 01:11:43.770
Tell me.
01:11:43.771 --> 01:11:45.937
It's vanilla pudding.
01:11:45.938 --> 01:11:47.105
- Pudding?
- Mm-hmm.
01:11:52.271 --> 01:11:53.271
Mm.
01:11:55.063 --> 01:11:57.104
- That's very good. Mm-hmm.
- Yeah?
01:11:57.105 --> 01:11:58.396
Told you.
01:11:59.855 --> 01:12:01.479
You've got...
01:12:01.480 --> 01:12:02.855
icing.
01:12:03.271 --> 01:12:04.520
Where?
01:12:11.480 --> 01:12:13.146
Just right here.
01:12:48.313 --> 01:12:49.480
Fuck.
01:13:35.563 --> 01:13:36.563
Verity?
01:13:39.021 --> 01:13:40.437
Verity!
01:13:40.438 --> 01:13:42.020
- Verity! Oh, God.
- What?
01:13:42.021 --> 01:13:43.562
She was just standing right...
01:13:43.563 --> 01:13:45.145
I'm sorry. I shouldn't
have kissed you. No, I...
01:13:45.146 --> 01:13:46.937
God!
01:13:46.938 --> 01:13:48.437
- Oh, God.
- I'm sorry.
01:13:48.438 --> 01:13:50.355
No, I just saw her.
01:13:51.771 --> 01:13:52.771
She...
01:13:53.605 --> 01:13:55.729
She can't walk, Lowen.
01:13:55.730 --> 01:13:57.020
She was standing right there.
01:13:57.021 --> 01:13:58.312
She was standing...
01:13:58.313 --> 01:13:59.770
She was standing right there.
01:13:59.771 --> 01:14:02.854
Your fucking wife was
standing right there, Jeremy!
01:14:02.855 --> 01:14:04.271
I know what I saw!
01:14:26.563 --> 01:14:27.563
Hey.
01:14:30.188 --> 01:14:32.437
So there's no one in the house.
01:14:32.438 --> 01:14:33.646
Anna went home.
01:14:34.980 --> 01:14:37.230
Crew's fast asleep.
01:14:38.313 --> 01:14:39.396
And...
01:14:40.521 --> 01:14:42.521
definitely wasn't Verity.
01:14:43.396 --> 01:14:44.770
I checked.
01:14:44.771 --> 01:14:46.604
Trust me.
01:14:46.605 --> 01:14:48.854
This is my fault.
01:14:48.855 --> 01:14:51.145
You've been working nonstop,
01:14:51.146 --> 01:14:52.312
and you're exhausted.
01:14:52.313 --> 01:14:53.563
And then I...
01:14:54.980 --> 01:14:57.895
kissed... You know, we...
And I just feel like...
01:14:57.896 --> 01:14:59.645
Yeah, you're right. That's it.
01:14:59.646 --> 01:15:02.563
It's probably
paranoia and guilt.
01:15:07.521 --> 01:15:09.605
This place is insane.
01:15:11.188 --> 01:15:13.855
Jeremy, you are a prisoner
in your own home.
01:15:15.438 --> 01:15:16.855
Crew is a prisoner.
01:15:18.146 --> 01:15:19.854
He needs to get away from here.
01:15:19.855 --> 01:15:22.105
You need to go back to work.
01:15:23.563 --> 01:15:25.980
Take moments, Jeremy.
01:15:30.938 --> 01:15:33.188
You can take selfish moments.
01:15:35.646 --> 01:15:37.980
You deserve to have a life...
01:15:39.021 --> 01:15:40.230
where you have...
01:15:41.438 --> 01:15:43.395
moments that have
nothing to do with her
01:15:43.396 --> 01:15:44.729
and everything to do
01:15:44.730 --> 01:15:47.895
with just you and what you want.
01:15:47.896 --> 01:15:50.063
- What I want?
- Yes.
01:15:54.105 --> 01:15:56.063
What do you want?
01:15:57.438 --> 01:15:58.688
You.
01:16:00.646 --> 01:16:02.563
I want you, Lowen.
01:16:05.396 --> 01:16:06.896
Say it again.
01:16:07.938 --> 01:16:09.187
I want you.
01:18:09.313 --> 01:18:12.146
Those orange ones
are so beautiful.
01:18:16.313 --> 01:18:19.354
Mix red and blue
and you get purple.
01:18:23.563 --> 01:18:26.187
When will you be back
from Boston?
01:18:26.188 --> 01:18:28.396
Uh, shouldn't be too late.
01:18:30.188 --> 01:18:32.938
Daddy, you were supposed
to take us canoeing!
01:18:33.563 --> 01:18:35.395
Sweetie.
01:18:35.396 --> 01:18:36.604
Mommy can take you.
01:18:36.605 --> 01:18:39.020
Yay!
01:18:39.021 --> 01:18:40.145
You're okay with that, right?
01:18:40.146 --> 01:18:41.270
You can take 'em out
on the lake.
01:18:41.271 --> 01:18:42.395
Yay!
01:18:42.396 --> 01:18:43.520
I wanna go in the water.
01:18:43.521 --> 01:18:45.312
Would that make you happy?
01:18:45.313 --> 01:18:47.020
Yay!
01:18:47.021 --> 01:18:48.562
Awesome!
01:18:48.563 --> 01:18:50.312
I wanna hear all about it
when I get back, okay?
01:18:50.313 --> 01:18:52.145
I'll be back by...
What's this?
01:18:52.146 --> 01:18:53.312
It's for you.
01:18:53.313 --> 01:18:55.437
Are you kidding?
01:18:55.438 --> 01:18:56.895
Isn't it so pretty?
01:18:56.896 --> 01:18:58.645
I love it.
01:18:58.646 --> 01:19:00.520
It's a whale.
01:19:00.521 --> 01:19:02.312
I love you so much, Harper!
01:19:02.313 --> 01:19:03.895
I love you, Crew.
01:19:03.896 --> 01:19:06.021
- You be good for Mommy, okay?
- Okay.
01:19:06.563 --> 01:19:08.813
Bye.
01:19:09.646 --> 01:19:10.979
See ya.
01:19:16.730 --> 01:19:18.813
How come your stuff
is so pretty?
01:19:24.480 --> 01:19:26.604
It's blue,
just like out on the lake.
01:19:38.188 --> 01:19:39.354
I need it!
01:19:39.355 --> 01:19:41.563
- No!
- I need it!
01:19:46.021 --> 01:19:48.646
"Jeremy
went to Boston for work."
01:19:54.271 --> 01:19:56.771
"I took the kids
out in the canoe."
01:19:59.230 --> 01:20:02.229
"Harper was sitting
in the front of the boat.
01:20:02.230 --> 01:20:04.313
"Crew was in the middle.
01:20:06.230 --> 01:20:08.980
"None of us
were wearing life vests.
01:20:10.521 --> 01:20:13.687
"Then I shifted all my weight.
01:20:13.688 --> 01:20:17.062
"And the boat tipped over."
01:21:09.563 --> 01:21:11.229
Lowen.
01:21:11.230 --> 01:21:13.395
I'm leaving now.
01:21:13.396 --> 01:21:15.437
Verity's watching TV.
01:21:15.438 --> 01:21:16.812
Okay.
01:21:16.813 --> 01:21:17.980
Good night, Lowen.
01:21:28.355 --> 01:21:29.812
Hi, Crew.
01:21:29.813 --> 01:21:31.146
Hi.
01:21:32.271 --> 01:21:33.604
What are you doing?
01:21:33.605 --> 01:21:36.855
I'm just playing
this game on my iPad.
01:21:38.688 --> 01:21:40.979
Crew, can I ask you a question?
01:21:40.980 --> 01:21:43.688
Yep.
01:21:46.355 --> 01:21:48.730
Did you ever have a canoe?
01:21:50.605 --> 01:21:51.646
Yes.
01:22:02.730 --> 01:22:04.645
Do you remember
being in the canoe
01:22:04.646 --> 01:22:06.730
with your mommy and Harper?
01:22:14.855 --> 01:22:16.938
Crew, how did
the canoe tip over?
01:22:18.271 --> 01:22:21.104
Mommy said
I shouldn't talk to you
01:22:21.105 --> 01:22:23.188
if you ask me
questions about her.
01:22:28.563 --> 01:22:30.313
Your mommy talks to you?
01:22:32.188 --> 01:22:34.062
Crew?
01:22:34.063 --> 01:22:36.437
Is your mommy pretending
like she can't talk?
01:22:37.646 --> 01:22:39.646
Oh! Oh!
01:22:42.855 --> 01:22:43.896
Jeremy!
01:22:45.230 --> 01:22:46.979
- What happened?
- Um...
01:22:46.980 --> 01:22:49.105
Yeah, he... Yeah, he bit
the knife. I don't know...
01:23:01.230 --> 01:23:02.895
Should I come with you?
01:23:02.896 --> 01:23:05.979
Uh, no, urgent care
could take a while.
01:23:05.980 --> 01:23:07.688
I need somebody
to stay here with Verity.
01:23:37.646 --> 01:23:40.562
Especially this old fool,
companion,
01:23:40.563 --> 01:23:42.104
gigolo.
01:23:42.105 --> 01:23:45.229
How many years she's kept him
dangling on promises.
01:23:45.230 --> 01:23:47.562
Well, sometimes it's
convenient to have a man,
01:23:47.563 --> 01:23:49.896
especially when he comes
cheaper than servants.
01:24:18.105 --> 01:24:20.313
I know what you did to Harper.
01:24:23.980 --> 01:24:25.271
How could you do that?
01:24:29.063 --> 01:24:30.938
How could you be so cruel?
01:24:38.730 --> 01:24:39.980
Say something.
01:24:42.688 --> 01:24:44.020
I know you're faking it.
01:24:44.021 --> 01:24:46.063
I know you're faking it!
01:24:59.605 --> 01:25:00.646
Say something.
01:25:01.980 --> 01:25:03.271
Say something.
01:25:17.438 --> 01:25:19.937
You have this life.
01:25:19.938 --> 01:25:21.521
You have this...
01:25:22.855 --> 01:25:24.771
perfect life and...
01:25:26.188 --> 01:25:29.605
And you have everything
that anyone...
01:25:30.813 --> 01:25:32.313
could ever want...
01:25:33.646 --> 01:25:35.146
that I want.
01:25:36.355 --> 01:25:37.980
And you don't deserve it.
01:25:42.813 --> 01:25:44.896
And I'm gonna take it from you.
01:25:47.230 --> 01:25:48.980
All of it.
01:25:50.313 --> 01:25:51.521
Your house.
01:25:53.438 --> 01:25:54.771
Your career.
01:25:56.438 --> 01:25:57.771
Your husband.
01:25:59.730 --> 01:26:01.604
So keep pretending
like you don't hear me
01:26:01.605 --> 01:26:03.146
and you don't see me.
01:26:05.646 --> 01:26:06.979
I dare you.
01:26:20.771 --> 01:26:24.813
You deserve to rot
in your sad little robot bed.
01:26:28.813 --> 01:26:32.813
You selfish, Machiavellian cunt.
01:27:22.063 --> 01:27:23.895
"The police took my report.
01:27:23.896 --> 01:27:25.770
"Twice. It's their job."
01:27:25.771 --> 01:27:28.354
Harper leaned over the edge
of the canoe...
01:27:28.355 --> 01:27:29.645
"Their questions
were simple enough.
01:27:29.646 --> 01:27:30.979
"Easy to answer."
01:27:30.980 --> 01:27:32.562
It tipped over.
01:27:32.563 --> 01:27:36.396
We all went under
the water, but... But...
01:27:37.938 --> 01:27:40.645
Harper never came up.
01:27:40.646 --> 01:27:43.979
And I tried to find her,
but I...
01:27:43.980 --> 01:27:45.104
I was running out of air,
01:27:45.105 --> 01:27:47.188
and I needed
to get Crew to safety.
01:27:53.563 --> 01:27:55.145
"I think my performance
was so good,
01:27:55.146 --> 01:27:57.730
"it made them uncomfortable
to ask me more questions.
01:27:59.771 --> 01:28:01.312
"Jeremy was shattered."
01:28:02.480 --> 01:28:05.312
"But I figured
it would pass, and...
01:28:05.313 --> 01:28:08.313
"finally, he was
going to be mine again.
01:28:09.688 --> 01:28:11.812
"The irony was...
01:28:11.813 --> 01:28:14.313
"I instantly
started writing again.
01:28:15.730 --> 01:28:19.020
"The words were flowing
out of me. But...
01:28:19.021 --> 01:28:22.520
"with Jeremy acting like
such a sad sack,
01:28:22.521 --> 01:28:23.854
"and no end in sight..."
01:28:26.605 --> 01:28:29.729
"It feels as though
there's nothing left to say.
01:28:29.730 --> 01:28:31.479
"No future to write about."
01:28:31.480 --> 01:28:33.562
I'm going out for a bit.
01:28:33.563 --> 01:28:35.104
"No past to redeem."
01:28:42.480 --> 01:28:46.354
"He's become such a drag
now that Harper's dead,
01:28:46.355 --> 01:28:48.688
"I almost wish
I hadn't killed her.
01:28:51.230 --> 01:28:53.146
"If that's the case,
01:28:53.855 --> 01:28:55.188
"so be it.
01:28:56.313 --> 01:28:58.938
"I'll just drive my car
into a tree.
01:28:59.688 --> 01:29:00.688
"The end."
01:29:06.146 --> 01:29:07.562
Hey.
01:29:07.563 --> 01:29:08.854
Hi.
01:29:08.855 --> 01:29:10.271
How's Crew?
01:29:10.896 --> 01:29:13.062
Uh...
01:29:13.063 --> 01:29:15.730
Six stitches and a bunch
of pain meds. But...
01:29:16.646 --> 01:29:17.980
he'll be okay.
01:29:19.605 --> 01:29:21.646
He's out cold
for the rest of the night.
01:29:23.021 --> 01:29:24.355
Poor guy.
01:29:26.105 --> 01:29:28.354
The power goes in and out
when it storms like this.
01:29:28.355 --> 01:29:30.688
So I'm gonna take a shower
while I still can. I am...
01:29:32.146 --> 01:29:33.813
covered in dried blood.
01:29:36.021 --> 01:29:37.479
It's kind of starting
to be our thing,
01:29:37.480 --> 01:29:38.771
being covered in blood.
01:29:42.896 --> 01:29:44.313
Why do you have this?
01:29:48.480 --> 01:29:50.563
Why is there a camera
in Verity's room?
01:29:53.188 --> 01:29:55.188
I can explain that.
We... We... We...
01:29:56.855 --> 01:29:58.230
We need to talk.
01:30:06.063 --> 01:30:08.312
Your wife is not
01:30:08.313 --> 01:30:10.437
who you think she is.
01:30:10.438 --> 01:30:11.854
She's not.
01:30:11.855 --> 01:30:14.355
She has been lying to you
since the day you met her.
01:30:15.896 --> 01:30:17.062
Lowen.
01:30:17.063 --> 01:30:19.437
Crew told me
that she talks to him.
01:30:19.438 --> 01:30:21.895
She's helpless, Lowen!
01:30:21.896 --> 01:30:23.270
I know you have
a writer's imagination,
01:30:23.271 --> 01:30:24.729
but are you listening
to what you're saying?
01:30:24.730 --> 01:30:27.229
Goddamn it, Jeremy!
She killed Harper!
01:30:27.230 --> 01:30:28.605
What?
01:30:29.313 --> 01:30:31.105
She killed Harper!
01:30:32.730 --> 01:30:34.229
I can prove it.
01:30:34.230 --> 01:30:35.230
Here.
01:30:35.771 --> 01:30:37.313
Read this.
01:30:37.896 --> 01:30:39.854
Read it.
01:30:39.855 --> 01:30:41.604
It's a confession.
01:30:41.605 --> 01:30:43.270
It's Verity's confession.
She wrote it.
01:30:43.271 --> 01:30:44.480
I found it on a thumb drive.
01:30:46.521 --> 01:30:49.480
It's... It's everything!
You need to know the truth.
01:31:00.313 --> 01:31:01.813
She killed Harper.
01:31:08.313 --> 01:31:09.688
She's a liar.
01:31:14.438 --> 01:31:15.646
See?
01:31:20.105 --> 01:31:21.521
What are you doing?
01:31:22.521 --> 01:31:23.771
Shit.
01:31:42.521 --> 01:31:43.855
Verity.
01:32:16.355 --> 01:32:18.645
When I walk out that door,
01:32:18.646 --> 01:32:20.020
I'm taking your manuscript
01:32:20.021 --> 01:32:22.354
straight to the police,
01:32:22.355 --> 01:32:24.479
and you will be locked up
01:32:24.480 --> 01:32:27.480
and you will never
see Crew or I again...
01:32:29.105 --> 01:32:31.187
unless you tell me what exactly
01:32:31.188 --> 01:32:33.438
is happening in this house.
01:32:38.605 --> 01:32:40.521
Please, please...
01:32:41.896 --> 01:32:43.355
Please...
01:32:44.355 --> 01:32:46.438
let me explain.
01:32:47.730 --> 01:32:50.020
What the fuck, Verity?
01:32:50.021 --> 01:32:51.520
Jeremy,
01:32:51.521 --> 01:32:52.979
I had to.
01:32:52.980 --> 01:32:56.312
This whole time,
you've just been...
01:32:56.313 --> 01:32:57.979
what?
01:32:57.980 --> 01:32:59.687
Please don't hurt me. Please!
01:32:59.688 --> 01:33:01.687
Don't hurt you?
01:33:01.688 --> 01:33:05.187
You murdered our daughter!
01:33:07.980 --> 01:33:09.855
Shit!
01:33:10.896 --> 01:33:12.271
Jeremy!
01:33:12.896 --> 01:33:14.063
Jeremy!
01:33:17.771 --> 01:33:18.895
Jeremy!
01:33:20.480 --> 01:33:23.770
Stop! Stop! God, Jeremy!
Stop! Stop!
01:33:27.313 --> 01:33:30.230
Stop!
You're crushing her windpipe!
01:33:30.730 --> 01:33:32.104
Jeremy, stop!
01:33:34.521 --> 01:33:36.145
She killed Harper!
01:33:36.146 --> 01:33:37.854
Think about Crew!
01:33:37.855 --> 01:33:41.854
He won't have a mother
or a father if you do this!
01:33:41.855 --> 01:33:44.479
They'll know you killed her!
01:34:05.105 --> 01:34:07.230
You have to make it look
like an accident.
01:34:09.980 --> 01:34:11.312
No.
01:34:11.313 --> 01:34:12.729
No!
01:34:12.730 --> 01:34:14.604
No!
01:34:14.605 --> 01:34:16.687
Cover her nose and mouth
until she stops breathing.
01:34:16.688 --> 01:34:18.770
No! No!
01:34:18.771 --> 01:34:20.480
Don't leave any marks.
01:34:21.646 --> 01:34:23.313
No! No!
01:35:21.438 --> 01:35:22.770
Hey.
01:35:22.771 --> 01:35:24.396
It's okay. It's okay.
01:35:25.646 --> 01:35:26.813
You're okay.
01:35:28.396 --> 01:35:31.020
We're gonna come up
with a story.
01:35:31.021 --> 01:35:32.854
You and me. We're gonna
come up with a story,
01:35:32.855 --> 01:35:35.355
and then the truth
is just gonna stay with us...
01:35:36.188 --> 01:35:39.062
just between us forever.
01:35:39.063 --> 01:35:41.729
Okay.
01:35:41.730 --> 01:35:44.230
We did the right thing.
01:35:45.855 --> 01:35:47.480
We're good people.
01:35:50.355 --> 01:35:51.562
It's okay.
01:35:54.021 --> 01:35:55.105
It's okay.
01:36:28.313 --> 01:36:29.813
It was done.
01:36:31.563 --> 01:36:33.480
It could not be undone.
01:36:35.146 --> 01:36:38.437
We were free from Verity.
01:36:38.438 --> 01:36:42.188
Her cruel manipulations
could no longer touch us...
01:36:43.355 --> 01:36:44.771
or Crew.
01:37:01.730 --> 01:37:03.229
Did you have any interaction
01:37:03.230 --> 01:37:04.479
with Verity last night?
01:37:04.480 --> 01:37:07.812
No, I was working in the office.
01:37:07.813 --> 01:37:10.812
I was hired to help her write,
01:37:10.813 --> 01:37:13.145
and then I went to bed
really early...
01:37:13.146 --> 01:37:15.980
maybe, I don't know, 10:00.
01:37:16.896 --> 01:37:18.437
Did you hear anything?
01:37:18.438 --> 01:37:20.187
Any idea when she might have
left the house?
01:37:20.188 --> 01:37:22.062
No, no, um...
01:37:22.063 --> 01:37:24.479
I mean, she's been bedridden,
you know, so...
01:37:24.480 --> 01:37:27.895
- But she's in and out of...
- If she got out of bed, I...
01:37:27.896 --> 01:37:30.104
I can't even imagine what
her mental state would be.
01:37:30.105 --> 01:37:31.854
I'm just worried that
she might have been confused
01:37:31.855 --> 01:37:32.979
or distraught,
01:37:32.980 --> 01:37:35.604
and, uh,
gone looking for Harper...
01:37:35.605 --> 01:37:36.895
or something, you know?
01:37:36.896 --> 01:37:38.104
Is there
anything else you remember
01:37:38.105 --> 01:37:41.021
about last night?
Anything that could help?
01:37:45.230 --> 01:37:47.395
No.
01:37:47.396 --> 01:37:49.854
I'm sorry.
I wish I could be
01:37:49.855 --> 01:37:51.146
more helpful.
01:37:52.146 --> 01:37:54.063
Okay. Thank you.
01:37:58.063 --> 01:38:00.896
There is
one more thing I have to ask.
01:38:03.105 --> 01:38:04.646
What?
01:38:06.105 --> 01:38:08.979
Were you and Verity,
by chance...
01:38:08.980 --> 01:38:11.688
working on the new
Noble Virtue book?
01:38:16.646 --> 01:38:18.063
Perhaps.
01:38:18.646 --> 01:38:20.020
Sorry.
01:38:20.021 --> 01:38:22.187
I'm such a fan.
01:38:22.188 --> 01:38:24.562
Been waiting so long
for this one.
01:38:26.355 --> 01:38:28.146
Don't worry.
01:38:31.271 --> 01:38:33.355
It'll be the best one yet.
01:38:35.063 --> 01:38:36.396
Sweet.
01:39:09.688 --> 01:39:10.813
Hi, guys.
01:39:21.771 --> 01:39:24.312
- Hello?
- Hey, good morning, sunshine.
01:39:25.438 --> 01:39:26.729
Happy moving day.
01:39:26.730 --> 01:39:28.354
Thank you.
01:39:28.355 --> 01:39:29.812
I just got here. Hi.
01:39:29.813 --> 01:39:32.270
Jeremy and Crew
are almost ready to go.
01:39:32.271 --> 01:39:33.645
I came to pick them up.
01:39:33.646 --> 01:39:36.020
Hachette approved the outline
for the next book.
01:39:36.021 --> 01:39:37.854
So you are good
to start writing.
01:39:37.855 --> 01:39:39.104
Oh, wonderful.
01:39:39.105 --> 01:39:41.437
Um, but I'm actually
gonna need you
01:39:41.438 --> 01:39:43.063
to ask them for an extension.
01:39:43.480 --> 01:39:44.604
I can ask.
01:39:44.605 --> 01:39:45.979
Okay.
01:39:45.980 --> 01:39:47.480
I'll talk to you soon.
01:39:54.438 --> 01:39:57.062
Oh, my God, I missed you.
01:39:57.063 --> 01:39:58.562
- Hi.
- Hi.
01:39:58.563 --> 01:40:00.729
- I have something.
- What?
01:40:00.730 --> 01:40:02.145
- I have a thing!
- Okay.
01:40:02.146 --> 01:40:03.645
- Close your eyes.
- What is it?
01:40:03.646 --> 01:40:05.687
- Close them. Close your eyes.
- Close my eyes? Okay.
01:40:05.688 --> 01:40:07.729
Hold out your hands.
Put them here like this.
01:40:07.730 --> 01:40:09.521
- Don't move.
- Okay.
01:40:13.021 --> 01:40:14.270
- Okay...
- Should I keep waiting?
01:40:14.271 --> 01:40:15.813
- Yeah.
- Okay.
01:40:18.480 --> 01:40:20.645
- It's amazing.
- I know.
01:40:20.646 --> 01:40:21.937
It's an advance copy.
01:40:21.938 --> 01:40:23.937
You're the first
to have it in your hands.
01:40:23.938 --> 01:40:25.437
I can't wait to read it.
01:40:25.438 --> 01:40:27.437
- That's me.
- Yeah.
01:40:27.438 --> 01:40:29.270
Yeah.
01:40:29.271 --> 01:40:31.479
I'm so proud of you.
You did it.
01:40:31.480 --> 01:40:35.062
- We did it.
- Hmm. Mm.
01:40:35.063 --> 01:40:36.479
LowLow!
01:40:36.480 --> 01:40:37.979
Hi!
01:40:37.980 --> 01:40:39.604
Hey, hey, hey.
01:40:39.605 --> 01:40:40.895
Be careful
with your little sister.
01:40:40.896 --> 01:40:42.854
- He's okay.
- I know. I know.
01:40:42.855 --> 01:40:44.104
Hi.
01:40:44.105 --> 01:40:46.270
I'm so happy to see you.
I missed you.
01:40:46.271 --> 01:40:48.604
Are you excited
for our next adventure?
01:40:48.605 --> 01:40:51.770
It's a really long drive
to Southport, North Carolina.
01:40:51.771 --> 01:40:53.312
- Yay!
- Yay!
01:40:53.313 --> 01:40:54.854
Okay, let's go!
01:40:54.855 --> 01:40:56.729
Do you wanna say goodbye
to your room?
01:40:56.730 --> 01:40:58.437
Oh, my pictures!
01:40:58.438 --> 01:40:59.438
What pictures?
01:41:00.313 --> 01:41:01.396
Crew!
01:41:12.105 --> 01:41:14.145
- Boo!
- God!
01:41:16.105 --> 01:41:18.395
Don't scare me like that.
01:41:18.396 --> 01:41:19.562
What are you doing?
01:41:19.563 --> 01:41:21.730
I got my pictures. See?
01:41:22.605 --> 01:41:24.437
Where did you get these?
01:41:24.438 --> 01:41:26.687
From my secret hiding place.
01:41:26.688 --> 01:41:28.229
Can't tell you
where it is, though.
01:41:28.230 --> 01:41:29.645
You better tell me where it is.
01:41:29.646 --> 01:41:31.246
You better tell me where it is
right now.
01:41:33.438 --> 01:41:35.562
Why don't you,
um, go wait outside
01:41:35.563 --> 01:41:37.723
and I'll be there in a second.
And then we'll go. Okay?
01:42:12.105 --> 01:42:13.854
"Dear Jeremy,
01:42:13.855 --> 01:42:15.270
"if you're reading this letter,
01:42:15.271 --> 01:42:19.020
"it means that Crew
and I are somewhere safe.
01:42:19.021 --> 01:42:20.562
"As much as I try to forget
01:42:20.563 --> 01:42:22.687
"where it all started
to go wrong,
01:42:22.688 --> 01:42:26.604
"I was cursed with this mind
01:42:26.605 --> 01:42:30.479
"that never
forgets a single thing.
01:42:30.480 --> 01:42:33.395
"It was at dinner with Amanda.
01:42:33.396 --> 01:42:35.937
"I was discussing my next novel.
01:42:35.938 --> 01:42:37.104
"I don't know if you tuned
01:42:37.105 --> 01:42:38.270
"this part
of the conversation out,
01:42:38.271 --> 01:42:39.520
"but I'm guessing you did
01:42:39.521 --> 01:42:42.354
"because writer talk
always bored you.
01:42:42.355 --> 01:42:44.187
"That's when she told me
01:42:44.188 --> 01:42:46.604
"to try an exercise she called
01:42:46.605 --> 01:42:48.812
"'antagonistic journaling.'"
01:42:48.813 --> 01:42:50.145
It's a writing exercise
01:42:50.146 --> 01:42:51.854
I guarantee will help
01:42:51.855 --> 01:42:54.062
get into the mind
of an evil character.
01:42:54.063 --> 01:42:56.979
So, you start by writing
a journal of your life,
01:42:56.980 --> 01:42:59.812
except you flip
your inner dialogue
01:42:59.813 --> 01:43:02.062
to the opposite of what
you were thinking on the day,
01:43:02.063 --> 01:43:04.687
the opposite of who you are.
01:43:04.688 --> 01:43:07.395
Try it. Write a journal
of your daily life
01:43:07.396 --> 01:43:09.688
and layer in
sinister inner dialogue.
01:43:10.813 --> 01:43:14.062
To be the evil,
twisted, self-serving me?
01:43:14.063 --> 01:43:16.270
Sure.
01:43:16.271 --> 01:43:18.104
Buckle up.
01:43:18.105 --> 01:43:21.312
"It sounded simple, harmless.
01:43:21.313 --> 01:43:22.854
"I got better and better
01:43:22.855 --> 01:43:25.645
"at being inside
the mind of a villain.
01:43:25.646 --> 01:43:28.812
"It was exhilarating,
and it helped.
01:43:28.813 --> 01:43:30.437
"It helped immensely,
01:43:30.438 --> 01:43:34.104
"which is why I was able
to create such realistic,
01:43:34.105 --> 01:43:37.270
"terrifying characters
in my novels.
01:43:37.271 --> 01:43:39.062
"It's why they sold,
01:43:39.063 --> 01:43:41.313
"because I was good at it.
01:43:42.605 --> 01:43:45.062
"After Harper's death,
01:43:45.063 --> 01:43:48.562
"my mind was
in such a dark space.
01:43:48.563 --> 01:43:51.812
"I was trying anything I could
to help me process
01:43:51.813 --> 01:43:53.187
"every day,
01:43:53.188 --> 01:43:56.104
"pushing to make
my writing more jarring,
01:43:56.105 --> 01:43:57.605
"more disturbing."
01:44:01.313 --> 01:44:04.229
"And then the day came when...
01:44:04.230 --> 01:44:07.563
"I left the file open
on the computer.
01:44:08.771 --> 01:44:11.104
"And you read it."
01:44:11.105 --> 01:44:12.521
Oh, my God.
01:44:15.480 --> 01:44:17.313
"But it was just an exercise.
01:44:19.271 --> 01:44:20.771
"It wasn't real.
01:44:23.271 --> 01:44:26.771
"You haven't read
anything of mine in so long.
01:44:29.521 --> 01:44:31.937
"After all those years
of marriage, how could you,
01:44:31.938 --> 01:44:33.187
"even for one second,
01:44:33.188 --> 01:44:35.562
"believe any
of that manuscript to be true?
01:44:35.563 --> 01:44:38.729
"I mean, seriously, Jeremy,
01:44:38.730 --> 01:44:42.104
"do you know me at all?
01:44:42.105 --> 01:44:44.854
"Every memory we had ever had
as a family was erased
01:44:44.855 --> 01:44:46.562
"with every new word
of the manuscript
01:44:46.563 --> 01:44:48.729
"that you had read. Gone.
01:44:48.730 --> 01:44:50.979
"There was nothing left
inside you but hatred."
01:45:01.021 --> 01:45:02.729
"I'll never forget
the look on your face
01:45:02.730 --> 01:45:04.145
"as you stood there
and looked at me.
01:45:04.146 --> 01:45:07.063
"It was complete
and utter misery."
01:45:13.771 --> 01:45:16.854
"At least, that's what I thought
01:45:16.855 --> 01:45:19.687
"until the moment I felt dizzy.
01:45:19.688 --> 01:45:22.604
"And everything became a blur.
01:45:22.605 --> 01:45:26.230
"And I realized
that you believed it.
01:45:32.271 --> 01:45:35.437
"I looked out the windshield,
all I saw were trees.
01:45:35.438 --> 01:45:38.645
"And in that moment,
I knew what you were doing.
01:45:38.646 --> 01:45:40.104
"You were gonna kill me,
01:45:40.105 --> 01:45:42.020
"and make my death
look like an accident.
01:45:42.021 --> 01:45:43.395
- "I had unknowingly..."
- No.
01:45:43.396 --> 01:45:44.812
"...written my own death
01:45:44.813 --> 01:45:47.395
"into the last two sentences
of my manuscript."
01:46:36.021 --> 01:46:38.354
"Your plan didn't work out,
01:46:38.355 --> 01:46:40.021
"did it, Jeremy?
01:46:42.313 --> 01:46:44.395
"Inconveniently,
01:46:44.396 --> 01:46:46.979
"I was still alive.
01:46:46.980 --> 01:46:49.813
"So I made a plan.
01:46:51.646 --> 01:46:53.604
"I knew you wouldn't
believe me if I tried
01:46:53.605 --> 01:46:55.437
"to deny that manuscript."
01:46:57.688 --> 01:47:01.062
"And if you were
aware that I had recovered,
01:47:01.063 --> 01:47:03.562
"you would turn me in
to the police
01:47:03.563 --> 01:47:05.730
"or finish the job yourself.
01:47:08.480 --> 01:47:10.312
"I needed to escape
01:47:10.313 --> 01:47:12.480
"and take Crew with me.
01:47:14.230 --> 01:47:16.645
"The thought
of leaving you alone
01:47:16.646 --> 01:47:19.562
"in the home where we shared
so many memories together
01:47:19.563 --> 01:47:21.563
"makes me ache for you.
01:47:27.605 --> 01:47:29.812
"Everything I've done
from the day I woke up
01:47:29.813 --> 01:47:31.145
"has been for Crew."
01:47:32.730 --> 01:47:35.270
Hey, Crew. Hey.
01:47:36.771 --> 01:47:38.229
"He's the only one who knows
I'm still in here..."
01:47:38.230 --> 01:47:39.520
Come on, come on, come on.
01:47:39.521 --> 01:47:43.187
"...that I still have thoughts
and a voice."
01:47:43.188 --> 01:47:44.770
You wanna play a game?
01:47:44.771 --> 01:47:46.188
Okay, but...
01:47:47.438 --> 01:47:48.687
it's a secret.
01:47:48.688 --> 01:47:49.896
Lowen?
01:47:50.521 --> 01:47:51.605
Oh, God.
01:47:52.896 --> 01:47:54.355
- Where are you, baby?
- Oh, God.
01:47:54.896 --> 01:47:55.896
Oh, God.
01:47:59.230 --> 01:48:00.646
I'm here.
01:48:03.355 --> 01:48:05.104
Oh, God.
01:48:06.855 --> 01:48:07.855
Hey.
01:48:08.313 --> 01:48:09.313
Hey.
01:48:11.313 --> 01:48:12.396
Hey.
01:48:13.605 --> 01:48:16.104
- Are you all right?
- Mm-hmm.
01:48:16.105 --> 01:48:17.770
Are you sure?
01:48:17.771 --> 01:48:19.395
It's just a...
01:48:19.396 --> 01:48:22.229
weird, emotional day.
01:48:22.230 --> 01:48:23.688
Okay.
01:48:27.480 --> 01:48:28.687
Yeah.
01:48:33.730 --> 01:48:36.229
Crew's in the car.
01:48:36.230 --> 01:48:38.104
- Okay. Mm-hmm.
- We should get goin'...
01:48:38.105 --> 01:48:39.395
Okay.
01:48:39.396 --> 01:48:41.145
If we're gonna
get to the city for dinner.
01:48:41.146 --> 01:48:43.020
Yeah, I'll be there in a second.
01:48:43.021 --> 01:48:45.313
I'm just gonna
do one last sweep.
01:48:46.188 --> 01:48:47.271
Love you.
01:48:49.771 --> 01:48:51.105
This house...
01:49:25.230 --> 01:49:26.896
Her manuscript,
01:49:27.605 --> 01:49:29.105
her letter,
01:49:30.146 --> 01:49:31.813
her husband.
01:49:33.438 --> 01:49:35.813
I have no idea what to believe.
01:49:37.938 --> 01:49:40.812
The only thing I know
for certain
01:49:40.813 --> 01:49:42.729
is that Verity was a master
01:49:42.730 --> 01:49:45.063
at manipulating the truth.
01:49:47.230 --> 01:49:49.729
The only question
that remains is,
01:49:49.730 --> 01:49:52.437
which truth
was she manipulating?
01:50:09.271 --> 01:50:11.062
So, each novel in your series
01:50:11.063 --> 01:50:13.520
is based on nine moral
and ethical guidelines.
01:50:13.521 --> 01:50:15.020
Mm-hmm.
01:50:15.021 --> 01:50:16.981
Which of those themes
was the most fun to corrupt?
01:50:18.563 --> 01:50:19.979
Truth.
01:50:19.980 --> 01:50:22.604
And I wanted to see
how far you could push it.
01:50:22.605 --> 01:50:25.270
How certain
I could make the audience
01:50:25.271 --> 01:50:27.062
before showing them that maybe
01:50:27.063 --> 01:50:29.021
certainty wasn't
the wisest choice.
