WEBVTT
00:00:45.438 --> 00:00:47.354 align:center
We are here with Verity Crawford
00:00:47.355 --> 00:00:48.770 align:center
at her home in Vermont,
00:00:48.771 --> 00:00:51.479 align:center
the place she shares with
her husband and the twins.
00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:53.645 align:center
I don't think there
are enough superlatives
00:00:53.646 --> 00:00:55.687 align:center
to describe this woman.
Let's pick one.
00:00:55.688 --> 00:00:59.687 align:center
Phenomenon, sensation, marvel.
00:00:59.688 --> 00:01:02.812 align:center
Uh, some would say "badass."
I'll go with that.
00:01:02.813 --> 00:01:05.437 align:center
You are considered one
of the bestselling authors
00:01:05.438 --> 00:01:06.604 align:center
on the planet.
00:01:06.605 --> 00:01:07.729 align:center
- Oh...
- Let's take that in
00:01:07.730 --> 00:01:08.854 align:center
for just a second.
00:01:08.855 --> 00:01:10.187 align:center
- "On the planet."
- Yes.
00:01:10.188 --> 00:01:12.645 align:center
Have you had time
to take it all in? What it...
00:01:12.646 --> 00:01:14.520 align:center
What it is like
to be able to provide
00:01:14.521 --> 00:01:17.229 align:center
such a beautiful life for
the people you love so much?
00:01:17.230 --> 00:01:20.729 align:center
To me, it's all a miracle.
00:01:20.730 --> 00:01:22.854 align:center
Yeah, but some could say...
00:01:22.855 --> 00:01:25.312 align:center
it's a miracle
built on villains.
00:02:06.146 --> 00:02:07.562 align:center
"I don't know that anyone
00:02:07.563 --> 00:02:09.270 align:center
"named Louie Longsutter
00:02:09.271 --> 00:02:11.520 align:center
"could even be dangerous.
00:02:11.521 --> 00:02:13.895 align:center
"But the way he stands there
00:02:13.896 --> 00:02:17.062 align:center
"just a little too close
to the edge of the porch,
00:02:17.063 --> 00:02:18.395 align:center
"like he's been waiting for me
00:02:18.396 --> 00:02:19.770 align:center
"longer than he should have
00:02:19.771 --> 00:02:22.854 align:center
"makes me second-guess
my assumptions.
00:02:22.855 --> 00:02:27.229 align:center
"I try to imagine a serial
killer named Louie Longsutter.
00:02:27.230 --> 00:02:29.104 align:center
"I almost laugh
at the absurdity of it,

"but being a woman

"about to embark
on weeks of isolation,

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

"Author's note.

"The thing I abhor most
about autobiographies

the audacity,

human...
00:28:00.521 --> 00:28:01.771 align:center
curious.
00:28:04.980 --> 00:28:06.021 align:center
Carry on.

"Chapter one.
00:28:28.980 --> 00:28:30.270 align:center
"I sometimes think back

"'or is my tragic end

"I wouldn't say I was lost
before I met Jeremy,
00:28:48.605 --> 00:28:52.188 align:center
"but I had certainly
never been found."
00:28:55.146 --> 00:28:57.812 align:center
"I had no interest in love.
00:28:57.813 --> 00:29:02.062 align:center
"I was just looking
for a well-funded fling.

"And, judging
by the looks of Jeremy...
00:29:06.063 --> 00:29:08.020 align:center
"I was gonna leave that party
an overachiever."

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