going somewhere?" he asked, nodding

Where exactly are you going?" "A hotel

downtown," she said quickly, avoiding
157
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,470

his gaze. Alone? Steven pressed, his

00:03:08,470 --> 00:03:08,480
his gaze. Alone? Steven pressed, his

was brief but damning. No, she admitted

barely above a whisper. I'll be with a

barely above a whisper. I'll be with a

00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,390
barely above a whisper. I'll be with a
friend. Steven felt the air leave his

00:03:18,390 --> 00:03:18,400
friend. Steven felt the air leave his
167
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,030
friend. Steven felt the air leave his
lungs as her words sank in. His mind
168
00:03:21,030 --> 00:03:21,040
lungs as her words sank in. His mind
169
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,630
lungs as her words sank in. His mind
raced, grasping for clarity. A friend?
170
00:03:24,630 --> 00:03:24,640
raced, grasping for clarity. A friend?
171
00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:27,430
raced, grasping for clarity. A friend?
He asked sharply. And this friend? He
172
00:03:27,430 --> 00:03:27,440
He asked sharply. And this friend? He
173
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,509
He asked sharply. And this friend? He
wouldn't happen to be a man, would he?
174
00:03:29,509 --> 00:03:29,519
wouldn't happen to be a man, would he?
175
00:03:29,519 --> 00:03:31,589
wouldn't happen to be a man, would he?
Samantha's face flushed, her gaze
176
00:03:31,589 --> 00:03:31,599
Samantha's face flushed, her gaze
177
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:33,910
Samantha's face flushed, her gaze
dropping to the floor. It's not what you
178
00:03:33,910 --> 00:03:33,920
dropping to the floor. It's not what you
179
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:36,229
dropping to the floor. It's not what you
think, she stammered. He's just a
180
00:03:36,229 --> 00:03:36,239
think, she stammered. He's just a
181
00:03:36,239 --> 00:03:39,190
think, she stammered. He's just a
friend. Steven's fists clenched as
182
00:03:39,190 --> 00:03:39,200
friend. Steven's fists clenched as
183
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,589
friend. Steven's fists clenched as
his frustration boiled over. You're
184
00:03:41,589 --> 00:03:41,599
his frustration boiled over. You're
185
00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:43,509
his frustration boiled over. You're
spending the weekend with another man 2
186
00:03:43,509 --> 00:03:43,519
spending the weekend with another man 2
187
00:03:43,519 --> 00:03:45,670
spending the weekend with another man 2
weeks before our wedding, and you expect
188
00:03:45,670 --> 00:03:45,680
weeks before our wedding, and you expect
189
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,789
weeks before our wedding, and you expect
me to believe it's innocent? Who is he?
190
00:03:48,789 --> 00:03:48,799
me to believe it's innocent? Who is he?
191
00:03:48,799 --> 00:03:51,830
me to believe it's innocent? Who is he?
Her silence was deafening. Steven took a
192
00:03:51,830 --> 00:03:51,840
Her silence was deafening. Steven took a
193
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,110
Her silence was deafening. Steven took a
step closer, his voice firm. Tell me his
194
00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:55,120
step closer, his voice firm. Tell me his
195
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,309
step closer, his voice firm. Tell me his
name, Samantha. Don't make me ask again.
196
00:03:58,309 --> 00:03:58,319
name, Samantha. Don't make me ask again.
197
00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:00,470
name, Samantha. Don't make me ask again.
Tears welled in her eyes as she finally
198
00:04:00,470 --> 00:04:00,480
Tears welled in her eyes as she finally
199
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,390
Tears welled in her eyes as she finally
whispered. It's someone I've been
200
00:04:02,390 --> 00:04:02,400
whispered. It's someone I've been
201
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,750
whispered. It's someone I've been
talking to. talking to?" Steven's
202
00:04:05,750 --> 00:04:05,760
talking to. talking to?" Steven's
203
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,070
talking to. talking to?" Steven's
voice was thick with disbelief. About
204
00:04:08,070 --> 00:04:08,080
voice was thick with disbelief. About
205
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,990
voice was thick with disbelief. About
what? Us? She nodded, barely meeting his
206
00:04:11,990 --> 00:04:12,000
what? Us? She nodded, barely meeting his
207
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,509
what? Us? She nodded, barely meeting his
gaze. "Yes," she admitted, her voice
208
00:04:15,509 --> 00:04:15,519
gaze. "Yes," she admitted, her voice
209
00:04:15,519 --> 00:04:18,310
gaze. "Yes," she admitted, her voice
cracking. Steven's jaw tightened as
210
00:04:18,310 --> 00:04:18,320
cracking. Steven's jaw tightened as
211
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,550
cracking. Steven's jaw tightened as
he struggled to contain his emotions.
212
00:04:20,550 --> 00:04:20,560
he struggled to contain his emotions.
213
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,189
he struggled to contain his emotions.
"And this someone? He isn't a therapist,
214
00:04:23,189 --> 00:04:23,199
"And this someone? He isn't a therapist,
215
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:25,350
"And this someone? He isn't a therapist,
a counselor, or a priest, is he?" he
216
00:04:25,350 --> 00:04:25,360
a counselor, or a priest, is he?" he
217
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,469
a counselor, or a priest, is he?" he
asked, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
218
00:04:28,469 --> 00:04:28,479
asked, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
219
00:04:28,479 --> 00:04:31,590
asked, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
"He's a good listener," she muttered.
220
00:04:31,590 --> 00:04:31,600
"He's a good listener," she muttered.
221
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:32,950
"He's a good listener," she muttered.
Steven threw his hands up in
222
00:04:32,950 --> 00:04:32,960
Steven threw his hands up in
223
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,749
Steven threw his hands up in
exasperation. "A good listener? You're
224
00:04:35,749 --> 00:04:35,759
exasperation. "A good listener? You're
225
00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:37,590
exasperation. "A good listener? You're
risking everything we have because some
226
00:04:37,590 --> 00:04:37,600
risking everything we have because some
227
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,070
risking everything we have because some
guy decided to lend you an ear?" "I'm
228
00:04:40,070 --> 00:04:40,080
guy decided to lend you an ear?" "I'm
229
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,070
guy decided to lend you an ear?" "I'm
not throwing anything away," Samantha
230
00:04:42,070 --> 00:04:42,080
not throwing anything away," Samantha
231
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,230
not throwing anything away," Samantha
protested, her voice breaking. "I just
232
00:04:44,230 --> 00:04:44,240
protested, her voice breaking. "I just
233
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,990
protested, her voice breaking. "I just
need to do this for me. For us," Steven
234
00:04:47,990 --> 00:04:48,000
need to do this for me. For us," Steven
235
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,909
need to do this for me. For us," Steven
let out a bitter laugh, the sound
236
00:04:49,909 --> 00:04:49,919
let out a bitter laugh, the sound
237
00:04:49,919 --> 00:04:53,110
let out a bitter laugh, the sound
hollow. "For us? How does sneaking off
238
00:04:53,110 --> 00:04:53,120
hollow. "For us? How does sneaking off
239
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,590
hollow. "For us? How does sneaking off
to a hotel with another man help us?"
240
00:04:55,590 --> 00:04:55,600
to a hotel with another man help us?"
241
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,749
to a hotel with another man help us?"
Her tears spilled over, streaking her
242
00:04:57,749 --> 00:04:57,759
Her tears spilled over, streaking her
243
00:04:57,759 --> 00:04:59,830
Her tears spilled over, streaking her
makeup. I don't expect you to
244
00:04:59,830 --> 00:04:59,840
makeup. I don't expect you to
245
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:02,710
makeup. I don't expect you to
understand," she sobbed. Steven's
246
00:05:02,710 --> 00:05:02,720
understand," she sobbed. Steven's
247
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,670
understand," she sobbed. Steven's
anger gave way to a profound sadness.
248
00:05:05,670 --> 00:05:05,680
anger gave way to a profound sadness.
249
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,590
anger gave way to a profound sadness.
"How long?" he asked quietly. "What?"
250
00:05:09,590 --> 00:05:09,600
"How long?" he asked quietly. "What?"
251
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,469
"How long?" he asked quietly. "What?"
Samantha replied, her voice small. "How
252
00:05:12,469 --> 00:05:12,479
Samantha replied, her voice small. "How
253
00:05:12,479 --> 00:05:14,150
Samantha replied, her voice small. "How
long has this been going on?" he
254
00:05:14,150 --> 00:05:14,160
long has this been going on?" he
255
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,950
long has this been going on?" he
clarified, his voice trembling, her lips
256
00:05:16,950 --> 00:05:16,960
clarified, his voice trembling, her lips
257
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,270
clarified, his voice trembling, her lips
quivered as she confessed. "A few
258
00:05:19,270 --> 00:05:19,280
quivered as she confessed. "A few
259
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:21,909
quivered as she confessed. "A few
months." "But it's not what you think.
260
00:05:21,909 --> 00:05:21,919
months." "But it's not what you think.
261
00:05:21,919 --> 00:05:24,070
months." "But it's not what you think.
We've only been talking." "Only
262
00:05:24,070 --> 00:05:24,080
We've only been talking." "Only
263
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,430
We've only been talking." "Only
talking?" Steven's voice was cold.
264
00:05:27,430 --> 00:05:27,440
talking?" Steven's voice was cold.
265
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,909
talking?" Steven's voice was cold.
Do you honestly think I'll believe that?
266
00:05:29,909 --> 00:05:29,919
Do you honestly think I'll believe that?
267
00:05:29,919 --> 00:05:32,550
Do you honestly think I'll believe that?
I swear, Steven, she pleaded. It's never
268
00:05:32,550 --> 00:05:32,560
I swear, Steven, she pleaded. It's never
269
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,670
I swear, Steven, she pleaded. It's never
gone further than that. Not yet, he shot
270
00:05:35,670 --> 00:05:35,680
gone further than that. Not yet, he shot
271
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,749
gone further than that. Not yet, he shot
back bitterly. But that's why you packed
272
00:05:37,749 --> 00:05:37,759
back bitterly. But that's why you packed
273
00:05:37,759 --> 00:05:39,670
back bitterly. But that's why you packed
the bag, isn't it? Her silence was
274
00:05:39,670 --> 00:05:39,680
the bag, isn't it? Her silence was
275
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,150
the bag, isn't it? Her silence was
answer enough. Steven turned away,
276
00:05:42,150 --> 00:05:42,160
answer enough. Steven turned away,
277
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,830
answer enough. Steven turned away,
running a hand through his hair as he
278
00:05:43,830 --> 00:05:43,840
running a hand through his hair as he
279
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:45,670
running a hand through his hair as he
struggled to process the unraveling of
280
00:05:45,670 --> 00:05:45,680
struggled to process the unraveling of
281
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,390
struggled to process the unraveling of
his world. He turned back to her, his
282
00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:48,400
his world. He turned back to her, his
283
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,270
his world. He turned back to her, his
voice heavy with pain. "Do you even love
284
00:05:51,270 --> 00:05:51,280
voice heavy with pain. "Do you even love
285
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:53,510
voice heavy with pain. "Do you even love
me, Samantha? Or was this all just a
286
00:05:53,510 --> 00:05:53,520
me, Samantha? Or was this all just a
287
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,230
me, Samantha? Or was this all just a
charade?" Her sobs deepened as she
288
00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:56,240
charade?" Her sobs deepened as she
289
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,550
charade?" Her sobs deepened as she
choked out her response. I love you,
290
00:05:58,550 --> 00:05:58,560
choked out her response. I love you,
291
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,710
choked out her response. I love you,
Steven. I do. You're everything I've
292
00:06:00,710 --> 00:06:00,720
Steven. I do. You're everything I've
293
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,430
Steven. I do. You're everything I've
ever wanted. But her voice faltered,
294
00:06:03,430 --> 00:06:03,440
ever wanted. But her voice faltered,
295
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,830
ever wanted. But her voice faltered,
tears streaming down her face. But
296
00:06:05,830 --> 00:06:05,840
tears streaming down her face. But
297
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:08,390
tears streaming down her face. But
that's exactly why I did this. I needed
298
00:06:08,390 --> 00:06:08,400
that's exactly why I did this. I needed
299
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,309
that's exactly why I did this. I needed
one last experience before we got
300
00:06:10,309 --> 00:06:10,319
one last experience before we got
301
00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:13,909
one last experience before we got
married. Steven stared at her in shock.
302
00:06:13,909 --> 00:06:13,919
married. Steven stared at her in shock.
303
00:06:13,919 --> 00:06:16,550
married. Steven stared at her in shock.
What are you saying? I've only ever been
304
00:06:16,550 --> 00:06:16,560
What are you saying? I've only ever been
305
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,749
What are you saying? I've only ever been
with you, she confessed. And as much as
306
00:06:19,749 --> 00:06:19,759
with you, she confessed. And as much as
307
00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:21,510
with you, she confessed. And as much as
I love you, I couldn't shake the feeling
308
00:06:21,510 --> 00:06:21,520
I love you, I couldn't shake the feeling
309
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,230
I love you, I couldn't shake the feeling
that I was missing out. I just needed to
310
00:06:24,230 --> 00:06:24,240
that I was missing out. I just needed to
311
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:25,670
that I was missing out. I just needed to
know what it was like to be with someone
312
00:06:25,670 --> 00:06:25,680
know what it was like to be with someone
313
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,550
know what it was like to be with someone
else before committing to forever.
314
00:06:28,550 --> 00:06:28,560
else before committing to forever.
315
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,950
else before committing to forever.
Steven inhaled sharply, his anger
316
00:06:30,950 --> 00:06:30,960
Steven inhaled sharply, his anger
317
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,510
Steven inhaled sharply, his anger
rekindling. So, you're willing to throw
318
00:06:33,510 --> 00:06:33,520
rekindling. So, you're willing to throw
319
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,270
rekindling. So, you're willing to throw
everything away for a fleeting moment of
320
00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:35,280
everything away for a fleeting moment of
321
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:37,670
everything away for a fleeting moment of
curiosity? Is that supposed to make this
322
00:06:37,670 --> 00:06:37,680
curiosity? Is that supposed to make this
323
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,670
curiosity? Is that supposed to make this
easier to forgive?
324
00:06:39,670 --> 00:06:39,680
easier to forgive?
325

Steven's voice was steady but
326
00:06:41,270 --> 00:06:41,280
Steven's voice was steady but
327
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:44,309
Steven's voice was steady but
unyielding as he confronted her. This is
328
00:06:44,309 --> 00:06:44,319
unyielding as he confronted her. This is
329
00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:46,629
unyielding as he confronted her. This is
it, Samantha. If you step out of this
330
00:06:46,629 --> 00:06:46,639
it, Samantha. If you step out of this
331
00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:48,469
it, Samantha. If you step out of this
house with that bag, there's nothing
332
00:06:48,469 --> 00:06:48,479
house with that bag, there's nothing
333
00:06:48,479 --> 00:06:51,029
house with that bag, there's nothing
left for us. No wedding, no future,
334
00:06:51,029 --> 00:06:51,039
left for us. No wedding, no future,
335
00:06:51,039 --> 00:06:52,950
left for us. No wedding, no future,
nothing. Do you understand?
336
00:06:52,950 --> 00:06:52,960
nothing. Do you understand?
337
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,430

Samantha stood immobilized, her tears

00:06:55,430 --> 00:06:55,440
Samantha stood immobilized, her tears
339
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,270
Samantha stood immobilized, her tears
carving streaks down her cheeks.
340
00:06:57,270 --> 00:06:57,280
carving streaks down her cheeks.
341
00:06:57,280 --> 00:06:59,670
carving streaks down her cheeks.
"Steven, don't do this, please," she
342
00:06:59,670 --> 00:06:59,680
"Steven, don't do this, please," she
343
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,230
"Steven, don't do this, please," she
begged, her words trembling. He shook
344
00:07:02,230 --> 00:07:02,240
begged, her words trembling. He shook
345
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,070
begged, her words trembling. He shook
his head, cutting her off with a sharp
346
00:07:04,070 --> 00:07:04,080
his head, cutting her off with a sharp
347
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,469
his head, cutting her off with a sharp
finality. "No more lies. No more
348
00:07:06,469 --> 00:07:06,479
finality. "No more lies. No more

00:07:09,270 --> 00:07:09,280
excuses. Make your choice." Her gaze
351
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:11,110
excuses. Make your choice." Her gaze
flickered between him and the door, the
352
00:07:11,110 --> 00:07:11,120
flickered between him and the door, the
353
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,710
flickered between him and the door, the
weight of her decision pressing down
354
00:07:12,710 --> 00:07:12,720
weight of her decision pressing down
355
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,350
weight of her decision pressing down
like a suffocating fog. Seconds
356
00:07:15,350 --> 00:07:15,360
like a suffocating fog. Seconds
357
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,110
like a suffocating fog. Seconds
stretched into eternity before she
358
00:07:17,110 --> 00:07:17,120
stretched into eternity before she
359
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,110
stretched into eternity before she
clutched the bag closer to her chest and
360
00:07:19,110 --> 00:07:19,120
clutched the bag closer to her chest and
361
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,150
clutched the bag closer to her chest and
whispered, "I'm sorry." Steven's

whispered, "I'm sorry." Steven's
363
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:23,909
whispered, "I'm sorry." Steven's
heart fractured as he watched her turn
364
00:07:23,909 --> 00:07:23,919
heart fractured as he watched her turn
365
00:07:23,919 --> 00:07:26,550
heart fractured as he watched her turn
and leave. The click of the door closing
366
00:07:26,550 --> 00:07:26,560
and leave. The click of the door closing
367
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,029
and leave. The click of the door closing
behind her echoed like a gavvel, sealing
368
00:07:29,029 --> 00:07:29,039
behind her echoed like a gavvel, sealing
369
00:07:29,039 --> 00:07:31,990
behind her echoed like a gavvel, sealing
the end of their shared dreams. Left
370
00:07:31,990 --> 00:07:32,000
the end of their shared dreams. Left
371
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,469
the end of their shared dreams. Left
standing in the empty foyer, Steven felt
372
00:07:34,469 --> 00:07:34,479
standing in the empty foyer, Steven felt
373
00:07:34,479 --> 00:07:37,510
standing in the empty foyer, Steven felt
an avalanche of emotions crash over him.
374
00:07:37,510 --> 00:07:37,520
an avalanche of emotions crash over him.
375
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,430
an avalanche of emotions crash over him.
His mind raced with relentless
376
00:07:39,430 --> 00:07:39,440
His mind raced with relentless
377
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,390
His mind raced with relentless
questions. What had gone so wrong? Could
378
00:07:42,390 --> 00:07:42,400
questions. What had gone so wrong? Could
379
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,029
questions. What had gone so wrong? Could
he have changed the outcome? And now,
380
00:07:45,029 --> 00:07:45,039
he have changed the outcome? And now,
381
00:07:45,039 --> 00:07:47,510
he have changed the outcome? And now,
with the life he knew in ruins, what was
382
00:07:47,510 --> 00:07:47,520
with the life he knew in ruins, what was
383
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,950
with the life he knew in ruins, what was
his next step? That night, he sat alone
384
00:07:50,950 --> 00:07:50,960
his next step? That night, he sat alone
385
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,029
his next step? That night, he sat alone
in the dim glow of his living room,
386
00:07:53,029 --> 00:07:53,039
in the dim glow of his living room,
387
00:07:53,039 --> 00:07:55,670
in the dim glow of his living room,
nursing a glass of whiskey. The liquid
388
00:07:55,670 --> 00:07:55,680
nursing a glass of whiskey. The liquid
389
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,909
nursing a glass of whiskey. The liquid
burned as it slid down his throat,
390
00:07:57,909 --> 00:07:57,919
burned as it slid down his throat,
391
00:07:57,919 --> 00:07:59,990
burned as it slid down his throat,
mirroring the anger and pain roing
392
00:07:59,990 --> 00:08:00,000
mirroring the anger and pain roing
393
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,790
mirroring the anger and pain roing
within. Thoughts of betrayal swirled
394
00:08:02,790 --> 00:08:02,800
within. Thoughts of betrayal swirled
395
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,270
within. Thoughts of betrayal swirled
like a storm. Though he didn't know the
396
00:08:05,270 --> 00:08:05,280
like a storm. Though he didn't know the
397
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,230
like a storm. Though he didn't know the
man's name, Steven vowed to uncover the
398
00:08:08,230 --> 00:08:08,240
man's name, Steven vowed to uncover the
399
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,869
man's name, Steven vowed to uncover the
truth. Samantha's actions demanded
400
00:08:10,869 --> 00:08:10,879
truth. Samantha's actions demanded
401
00:08:10,879 --> 00:08:12,950
truth. Samantha's actions demanded
answers, and he wasn't about to let this

00:08:12,950 --> 00:08:12,960
answers, and he wasn't about to let this
403
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,990
answers, and he wasn't about to let this
end quietly. The following morning, he

00:08:15,990 --> 00:08:16,000
end quietly. The following morning, he
405
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,790
end quietly. The following morning, he

fury. I gave you every opportunity to be
655
00:13:16,639 --> 00:13:19,269

00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,870

raised her tear streaked face to him,
673

00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,870

word landing like a blow. You didn't
691
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,189
