Thank you both for coming in.

As the appointed attorney

I'm required to enact his final wishes.

And he stipulated that I do this in person.

He wanted me to read a... a prepared statement.

[papers rustling]

"Cecilia,

"although our relationship was far from perfect,

"I at least thought we had built up enough trust

"that you would talk to me

"rather than running away from what you

-perceived us to have." -No, no. Sorry.

You're not allowed to do that.

-I'm required to read this. -She's not required to listen.

E-mail me a copy, and we will read it.

You bet.

I'm just trying to do my job.

Your job is to explain the money

-you mentioned on the phone. -I mentioned Cecilia

specifically is named in Adrian's trust.

-That is why we're sitting here. -Yes.

For the same reason so many women in Adrian's life

got close to him: his money.

If there was a chance of physically being close to him,

we would not be here for any amount of money.

You are physically close to him.

He's in that urn over there.

And as per his final wishes, you're getting $5 million,

estate and income tax free.

Now, the money will be staggered

in installments of $100,000

each month for the next four years or so,

contingent, of course, on the fine print.

You can't commit a crime, et cetera.

Normally, I would have a 120-day contestability period,

but I'm gonna waive my rights in that regard.

I can start releasing the funds.

Show a little respect.

One night, I was sitting,

and I was thinking about how to leave Adrian.

I was planning the whole thing in my mind.

And he was staring at me,

studying me.

And without me saying a single word,

he said that I could never leave him.

That wherever I went,

he would find me.

That he would walk right up to me

and I wouldn't be able to see him,

but that he would leave me a sign

so that I'd know he was there.

The night I left him, I drugged him with that.

I lost the bottle that night.

And somehow, it found its way back to me.

So, what exactly are you saying?

You lost the bottle, you found the bottle.

He's not dead, Tom.

I have a pile of ashes in the box

that would disagree with you, Cecilia.

I don't know how he's done it.

He's figured it out, though.

He has figured out a way to be invisible.

He is a world leader in the field of optics.

I-I... I know that he could do this.

Something tells me you know exactly what I'm talking about.

He's not dead.

I just can't see him.

Please tell him to stop.

Okay.

No, I agree with you.

Adrian was brilliant.

But it wasn't because of anything he invented.

It was how he got in people's heads.

That was his true genius-- knowing people's weaknesses.

You think about it.

He came up with the perfect way to torture you even in death.

Only thing more brilliant

than inventing something that makes you invisible

is not inventing it but making you think he did.

My brother controlled me

long before he met you, Cecilia.

I hated him.

You and I, we got that in common.

It's some kind of suit that Adrian has built.

you recently fainted during a job interview

No.

Is there anything in the room that is distressing to you?

No.

Okay. Good.

I wanted to talk to you about something.

We checked the blood test

that you had done at the hospital last week.

Do you remember taking those blood tests?

Yes.

Okay.

Well, did you know that you were pregnant?

No.

Didn't the doctor who took the test tell you?

No, that can't be right.

That's... that's not true.

The test shows us that it was pretty recent.

We can't be sure of exactly when,

Even though things ended badly for you and Adrian,

I still look at you as family.

Are you my lawyer now?

I'm the lawyer for your source of income.

I represent my brother's trust.

The money from his trust was payable to you

conditional upon you being subject

to criminal charges of any kind

or being ruled to be mentally incompetent.

Now, in light of your current situation,

it's my duty to inform you

that any further payments are to be halted.

I know that you set up a bank account

for a friend of yours to go to college,

so I take no pleasure in relaying that.

I used to feel sorry for you.

The blood relative of a narcissist sociopath.

Permanent punching bag.

Handcuffed to his wallet.

But now...

I can see you for what you really are.

Everything but the spine.

I mean, you can try to litigate it,

but that's going to be an expensive option.

You really think he didn't know

you were secretly using birth control?

Of course he did.

You should have known he'd find out.

You knew him as well as I did.

He replaced them with something else.

You only thought you were taking birth control pills.

He was always going to find you no matter what he had to do.

He needs you because you don't need him.

No one's ever left him before.

But he's punished you enough now.

Now that he knows you're the mother of his child.

It's time to stop playing games.

A new life with him can be given to you

with one phone call.

A life just like your old one with Adrian.

Cecilia, you don't really have the choice right now.

Right now you're a murderer.

But I can change that.

Adrian killed my sister,

and you helped him.

I don't expect you to make a decision right now.

I can come back in three days.

Be good to yourself until then.
