Original subtitles

My name is Neil Truman.

My wife, Grace, and I were trying to live the American dream.

I do stage open houses now.

But it always felt like something was missing.

I know why you're such a punk.

Midlife crisis.

So I jumped off a plane, quit my job, before getting knocked on my ass when I

found my wife trying to deal with her own crisis.

Your wife pays me. What, for sex?

But that's when I finally started living.

I got his phone, took his identity, met one of his clients.

Then got a surprising proposal from someone who was much more. Come work for

me. And I did.

I have a service that caters to very rich women. But I wasn't the only one.

Are you accepting new clients?

Yes. I'd love to talk about redecorating my house. You're going to have to sign a

non-disclosure agreement.

Not even your husband can do this. Is that a problem? That was just the

beginning for all of us. You would like us to sign over your educational account

so you can go and play at the what festival? The March Lawn Festival. Grace

and I may still have our secrets, but despite it all, our marriage and our

dreams have remained intact and in some ways gotten stronger. They got the grant

to study design in Milan. I would love to come with you. But all that's about

to change.

My husband found out. I told him. He was starting to eat at me.

Again.

Is this what they mean by for better or for worse?

It's certainly an adventure.

Yes, it is.

We have a second chance now.

Going to Italy for student dreams.

Should have done it years ago.

Let's try not to get pregnant this time.

Never thought she'd be married.

I guess that whole story about you getting paid, that was just so that I

would think it was a one-time thing.

You know who I am, right?

You? Your husband ruined my marriage.

Daniel, why don't you and I go into the house? No, no, no! Wait, wait, wait!

Here, here, here!

Don't you move!

Wait! Wait!

How long were you two having an affair? You gotta put the gun down. I followed

her that day she went to your office.

I know she saw you more than once. How long?!

Listen to me.

I know how you feel right now.

Oh, really?

You know how I feel, huh?

How about... How about I screw your wife?

And then you can tell me if you know how I feel.

Let her go.

No, you're gonna watch.

Listen.

Listen.

You think I ruined your marriage, but I may have been part of saving it.

I know from experience that Mallory wouldn't have been looking for someone

like me if you'd been giving her what she needed.

What did you say?

I'm saying that I made the same mistake.

Didn't I, Grace?

Yes.

And what happened?

I slept with someone.

You're making this up.

I wish I was.

I caught them together.

Tell him what it felt like, Neil.

Tell me.

My whole world exploded in that moment.

I hated you.

And I wanted to kill the son of a bitch she was with. I really did.

But then I realized that that wasn't going to solve anything.

Marriage is hard.

People make mistakes.

But if you really love each other, then you work it out.

You just need to want the same thing, right?

Your marriage was in trouble before I came into the picture.

Mallory came to me to fix it.

So you want to blame anyone.

Blame yourself, you worthless piece of shit.

You son of a bitch.

I'm okay.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Are you sure? Oh, my God, what happened? What just happened?

Grace, give me your phone.

Give me your phone.

You're bleeding.

Go in the house.

I'll handle this.

Yeah, go in the house.

Grace? Grace, where are you?

Do you know where the band-aids are? I can't find the band-aids. Grace, we need

to talk.

No, I... This is about Simon. I don't give a shit about him. Grace.

What?

Daniel's wife paid me to have sex with her.

She's not the only one either.

What?

After I saw you with Simon that day, I got a hold of his phone, access to his

clients, and I experimented.

You experimented?

Experimented with what?

Being a paid escort.

Are you joking? Is this a joke?

Look, if all of that comes out right now, then other people will be dragged

into this and we'll be at a huge risk.

I had to take precautions.

I got here as fast as I could.

Hello Grace.

Adriana? You told her everything?

I had to.

How do you two know each other?

That's why you had me sign that confidentiality agreement.

Hold on, Grace.

Oh, you pimp out my husband, then you hired me to decorate your house?

What kind of monster are you?

You're the secret client? Neil.

Grace.

I just drove over here to help you both out of what sounds like a very delicate

situation. Now, if you'd like me to stay, we're going to have to put aside

all of the other teenage nonsense right now. Can we do that?

Police are on their way. Raymond, these are the Trumans.

Trumans, this is Raymond.

Anyone hurt? Need medical attention?

Uh, no.

Saw security cameras out front. They work?

Yes. First thing we need to do is lay out the timeline, get the story

straight. Neil, show me where it happened.

Neil, let's go.

I'll be fine.

So that was clearly self-defense.

Is your wife gonna back you up on that story?

Why wouldn't she?

Adriana filled me in on everything, Neil.

If your wife decides to spill secrets about your relationship with my client,

not only will I not help, I gotta make sure this doesn't go well for either one

of you.

So what I'm going to need from you is to make sure that she goes along with the

program. Otherwise, this is going to go in a very different direction.

And when was the last time you saw Mallory?

At my office a few weeks ago.

No other contact?

She means that you have sex with her again.

Right?

Isn't that what you meant?

Last week she filed a restraining order against her husband.

After he got physical.

Is she okay?

Shaken up, but clearly the guy was dangerous.

You're very lucky.

They just went through the security footage.

Story thinks up.

All right, well, I think that's all we need for right now. Unless there's

anything that you'd like... Thank you.

Hey. I'm sorry.

But you're going to have to know the whole truth at some point.

There's more?

You jeopardize our whole family, and then you bring this bitch back into our

house? She's a lot more to lose than we do if this goes public. If what goes

public? The fact that you're an escort?

Look, I don't know about you, but I learned something about myself.

and what was lacking in our marriage.

I'd do something different with you, and you'd look at me like... like I had an

effect on you again.

Really?

You're trying to tell me that screwing other women for money made you a better

husband? I was different.

And you were Simon.

You were different.

Are you gonna deny it?

Everyone doing okay.

Grace?

Let her go.

Don't do this.

We're in the clear now.

So you slept with him too?

What happened to your door?

Forgot my keys earlier.

What happened to you?

Did Neil do that to you?

Did you tell him about us?

No, no, he didn't do that.

No, he, uh... He stopped it from getting worse.

You know who Mallory is?

Yeah.

Her husband showed up at our house, and he's dead.

What?

He showed up at our house with a gun, and Neil...

Neil told me his version of what happened the day he got you and I

together, how he got your phone and started working for Adriana.

I don't know what to believe. I don't know.

I don't know who to trust. I just don't know how I got here.

Hey.

Hey.

You're safe here now, all right?

Everything's gonna be okay.

You gotta let it run for a minute.

Yeah.

Be right outside.

Hi, it's Grace. The message.

Look, I know it's been an insane day, but... I just need to know that you're

okay.

Call me when you get this message.

Or text.

At least let me know who you are.

She's a big girl.

She'll call when she's ready.

You need to relax.

Here.

Make you feel better.

Why are you still here?

Pretty bad things happened here today, Neil. You shouldn't be alone.

I am sorry that a man had to die.

Really? Because you don't seem all that sorry.

I broke into your home and tried to rape your wife, and my sorry's dead.

A little.

With every sip, a little less.

Frankly, I've seen worse.

Maybe you don't see it yet, but this is not entirely a tragedy.

Karma has a way of sorting these things out. It's been my experience that when

things explode, people land where they were meant to land.

You needed to be free, darling.

Now you are.

Free of all the secrets, the lies. Now you can truly have anything that you

want. I want grace. I want my life back.

I'm not so sure.

You had your wife, Neil.

Apparently she wasn't enough.

Good boy.

Now look.

This is freedom.

complete unadulterated freedom standing before you right waiting like a woman in

a silk dress all you need to do now is gently pull the bow and let the dress

fall away you really think it's that easy you may know how people tick but

you have no understanding of my relationship with grace oh i think

Grace is a lovely woman, Neil.

With her, you held yourself back.

Now you get a second chance to start over with a clean slate.

See?

Hello? Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to barge in, but the door, it's still

broken. Yeah. Yeah.

Is Simon here?

No, he stepped out.

Was he expecting you?

I think I'm the last person he was expecting.

I'm Emma.

Grace.

Yeah, Emma, he's not here, but I'll tell him you stopped by.

I don't mind waiting.

Okay, I'm asking you to leave.

Grace, I've known Simon a long time.

I'm worried about him.

He's been making some very poor decisions of late.

He needs my help.

Do you know anything about his father?

He's a very powerful man.

Not someone you want to upset.

How do you know his father?

Oh, we've been married quite a few years now.

I'm Simon's mother.

I know she saw you more than once. How long?

I hated you.

I have

Grace's

keys.

She's in my apartment. I'm just coming here to get her stuff.

She's moving in with you?

She told me what happened, okay?

She can't come back here right now.

I'm what she needs. You've got to be able to understand that, right?

Yeah. Sure.

I totally get it.

You can understand that too, though, right?

God, I've been wanting to do that for months.

Hey, you know what else I've been wanting to do?

I have never liked this thing.

I mean, what is it? It's like tic-tac-toe and acid.

I hate it.

And these, like, pointless.

I mean, what? You don't sleep with them, right? They're just there.

There's so much in this house, it doesn't make sense.

In my life.

Stay right there.

I think I'm just gonna go.

Here, take these with you.

I've strangled myself with these things for the last 20 years. I am done.

Why torture myself?

You know, life can be taken away from you like that.

We have to make the most of every chance we get.

Are you all right?

No.

I'm most definitely not all right.

And you know what?

It feels great.

I feel like myself again.

sick at the sight of his computer he dodges his way through this wants and

commuters rips off his tie hands it to a homeless man sleeping in the corner of a

metro bus and he screams i'm not gonna work today gonna count the minutes that

the trains run late don't jump little boy

don't jump off the roof you got your whole life ahead of you

You went through my stuff?

After your stepmother came by.

And I'm always here?

When?

What did she say?

You said you'd never lie to me.

You're not even who you say you are.

Who are you?

Look, the more you knew, the more at risk you would be.

Wait, wait, wait.

Stolen paintings?

Emma said it was your dad who had the apartment trashed trying to look for

them. She said that?

Son of a...

Why would he even want those back? He doesn't need the money.

Because you stole them and they're his.

You don't understand, okay? He's wealthy.

He's like Rockefeller wealthy.

We had a falling out when my mom died and he married Emma.

God, it's really complicated, okay?

And that backup plan you had, it was those paintings.

You're going to sell them and run away with me? Yeah.

They're with a buyer right now. As soon as I get paid.

Oh my god, are you insane?

You think I'm gonna run away with you?

You're stolen money.

I've made enough mistakes lately.

Goodbye, Simon.

Hey, how you doing?

I'm looking for someone.

I wonder if you can help me out.

Maybe get on the walk into your other security friends I see walking around

here. If I give you her name, what she looks like.

Get out of here.

I suppose I can get that 20 back.

Sure.

Come and grab it.

Maybe you want to grab this.

Hey, who wants some money?

talented, and growing up faster than I was ready for.

And I'm so damn proud of her.

Annika, sweetheart, if you're out there, come fuck me backstage.

Let's do this again!

Hey!

Hey! Let him go!

Let him go! He's with the band. Let him go!

Or the band's gonna go back to the stage and you guys are gonna ride on him.

Not me.

You want beer?

Sure.

God, I haven't seen anybody rush a stage like that in years.

Thank you for helping me out back there.

I didn't think I'd get out of there alive.

That was so rock and roll what you did.

I've been a tour manager for ten years. These bands I work with are a bunch of

vegan prima donnas.

When I was a kid, it was about lifestyle and attitude.

We didn't give a shit about authority either.

You did whatever felt right.

I hate vegans.

Yeah?

Where is she? On the veranda.

Grace.

I'm surprised to see you here.

I realize you still owe me.

For the work I did, I came to collect.

Darling, don't you remember?

I already paid your final bill.

I had to make some adjustments.

You owe more.

Quite a bit more. I'm not sure I understand.

We all run our businesses in our own way.

I'm sure you wouldn't want your secrets to come out any more than I'd want to

share mine.

Sorry to interrupt.

Leonardo.

Joe, come with me. Excuse me a minute.

What's that on your head?

You get hung up on the suit, man.

The shoes or the tie?

Won't be wearing any of it for long.

But Adriana said I... Forget what Adriana said.

Women at these things don't care about what you look like in a suit.

They're paying for a good ride.

Little grooming down there, you're good to go.

You can't be serious.

You really think that's all women want?

Well, it's what they're paying for.

No, what they're paying for is someone they can connect with, who can hold a

conversation. Oh, come on.

You can say that's all you want, but we both know it's not true.

So you think all women who pay for men are just sexually frustrated?

I'll tell you what a woman wants. She wants you to listen to her. She wants

you to make her feel like she's the only one in the room worth looking at. And

she wants you to recognize her for who she is.

Because let me tell you, as a married woman, I can get one of these anytime I

want. Grace.

You're excused.

Me?

I didn't even... Take your friend with you.

But I never said a word. You came with him, you're leaving with him.

Let's go.

Anyone else?

All right, we'll do a lineup in ten minutes.

Grace, we have business to discuss.

Have a seat.

You did me a favor.

One bad review in my line of work can ruin a whole operation.

So you have an operation.

Don't be so judgmental, Grace.

You've partaken of the pleasures.

How long were you with Simon?

Six months?

My money?

I'm just saying.

You understand that the business is about empowering women.

Not as taboo as it was when I first started.

Women know what they want now.

And they're not afraid to ask.

Do you know what you want, Grace?

You just had a fire sale on your entire life.

What are you gonna do now?

Where are you gonna go?

Send you a postcard.

Why did you hire me?

You had my husband.

Why me?

You had a great portfolio, darling.

My husband just left, too.

He does that a lot, but this time I think he... Anyway, I was thinking of

redecorating a space, getting a fresh start myself, but I'm just so bad with

that stuff.

Well, good luck, Grace.

You smoke?

If you don't mind, I should check and see if my daughter got back.

Annika is your daughter?

Yeah.

Wow, that makes it even cooler, that message you yelled out.

You play?

My daughter does.

I've always wanted to.

You think it's too late for me to be a rock star?

I don't know.

What do you do?

Investment firm.

I had sex for money for a while.

Come on.

Two grand a night, ten grand a weekend.

Very high-end clients.

Are you serious?

Hey, Leah!

Do you know anything about, uh... Scotty, what are you doing? You know the

rules. Do you know anything about this girl? She's looking for her dad.

Annika? I'm her dad.

All right, well, she's outside.

Oh, shit.

Yeah, he's in here.

Dad?

I went backstage for... What's going on?

Hi.

Annika? Sorry.

Wait.

Annika!

Annika, wait!

What were you doing in there? Who was that woman?

She's the band manager.

Why was she in bed, practically naked?

Well, we were just... Are you and Mom split up?

We haven't decided.

Well, I don't know. It looks like you just did.

It's a little more complicated than that. What, did Mom sleep with somebody

too?

I knew something was going on. I knew it. I knew it. I knew it.

I'm sorry.

It has nothing to do with you, though.

Of course not.

I'm the perfect kid.

So what, did you come all the way out here and embarrass me in front of the

whole festival just to drop this bomb?

Actually, I came to give you this.

It's the money your mother and I set aside for college that you asked for.

I didn't have access to the joint account, so I borrowed it from work.

What, are you trying to buy me off now? Why, no.

Look,

the last few days, I've been re-evaluating, re-assessing everything.

Honey, you're young.

College will always be there.

The dreams you have now may not.

Life is unpredictable.

It'd be a crime not to take advantage of it when you can.

You're really giving me this.

It has some strings attached, though.

You have to tell me what your plans are, specifically. Where you're going, what

you're spending it on.

And this is your money.

Not for Matteo to dip into.

Well, that's not gonna be a problem.

Did you guys break up?

Come here.

Have Jillian at the front door, and make sure we get bartenders who can make

drinks this time, not just pretty faces, but make sure they have pretty faces.

Oh, and I'm thinking Asian-inspired for the food.

Nobody eats at these things.

Too busy thinking about what comes after.

Can you give us a minute?

Don't do anything I wouldn't do.

You've come begging for scraps. I did just have a couple of slots open.

It's two grand. You told my family about the paintings.

We've released our old friends.

I had my concerns.

Bullshit. You knew what you were doing. I want them back.

But they're not yours.

You're not even you.

Easy now, baby.

What happened to you, darling?

Leaving a fortune and inheritance to go into hiding, I must know. You have no

idea who you're dealing with right now. Do you?

I will get them back.

Well, like I said, you're looking for work.

I just came to pick up a few things.

Wasn't expecting you to be back so soon.

Did you get sick of all the teenagers at the festival?

You spoke to Annika?

Yeah.

She told me about the money.

You probably think that was a bad idea.

No. I get it.

You don't want her to make the same mistakes that we did.

Grace, you should have seen her face.

So, Simon said you were going to stay with him.

Yeah, of course he did. No, I just went there because I had some questions and I

knew he could answer them. It's not where I want to be right now.

You know, in all the years that we've been married, you've never been this mad

at me.

You seem more forgiving today.

Neil, I would like to be mad at you and blame you for everything.

I'm just as guilty.

I've been more like roommates for the past five years than a couple.

You know, I'm just realizing I'm mad at myself.

Why? Because I didn't do anything about it. I let it be okay for me, and it

wasn't.

No, I suppose I did exactly the same thing.

I was terrified that if we talked, I mean really talked,

That everything we were would end.

And now look at us.

I'm still hoping we find our way back.

That is all I ever wanted.

Simon was just a door for me to try and find this part

of myself that was lost so I could come back into our marriage.

And fight for it.

But now it's over.

So nice to see you again.

Back in town, huh?

When did you get in? He lives here.

Lives here?

Didn't you fly in to write me a check for the app last month?

Unbelievable. Victor, this is... I don't think I know your real name. It's Frank.

Frank? Huh.

Victor? Frank? Frank? Victor.

He's going to be running a group meditation for the office once a week. A

what? We're going to be doing things a little differently around here.

Can I get you a drink? Lunch? No, I'm good. All right. Well, I need five

minutes to get settled in, then I'll be right with you. Take your time.

Group meditation?

It's a stressed-out environment.

I think it'll be good for everybody. Oh, no, sure. Why don't we just put bongs in

everyone's office and let them get blowjobs on their coffee breaks? That'll

make everyone happy. Don't be a dick, Victor. Let me tell you something, Neil.

I didn't bust my ass to build this firm from the ground up.

To have you turn it into some hippie commune now.

And I won't have you talk to me that way again.

You got lucky one time, son.

One time.

You had a little midlife crisis fever dream and you got some nerd to build you

an app.

But the name of the game around here is What's Next.

You hear me?

What's Next.

I know what I don't want to do.

sit in front of a computer screen for 12 hours a day, analyze stock trends, make

the rich richer and pretend it doesn't matter so I can go home, sit in front of

my TV and think, one day I'll retire and everything will be great.

That's not a life.

It's a slow death.

Yeah.

But it's a very, very profitable one.

Tell me what I'm missing here, Neil.

Really.

I'm not the same person anymore. Ah, here we go again.

My old life is over.

My new one won't be convention.

I know the results of a life lived safe.

And since I can't go back in time, I want to see what the results are when I

don't.

And I start taking chances again.

So, you're welcome to join me in there.

Or not. I really don't care.

You have a

visitor.

Hello, darling.

The water's warm.

Feels good.

I was just about to have some lunch.

Should I set another plate?

You, um, you mentioned Fisher's Space earlier.

I brought some fare sheets.

I'll have Rosalie get you a robe.

Put your clothes in the guest room so you can settle some.

I'll meet you on the veranda.

I'll be waiting.
