[Hannah continues moaning]

Oh, take me upstairs.

[suspenseful music continues]

[music stops]

What?

What?

Why'd you stop?

Liam, what?

Nothing.

No, what?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Nothing.

- Liam- - Nothing!

Liam!

Absolutely nothing.

What happened?

You don't get it.

Don't you understand?

No, everything's fine.

What's wrong?

This has never happened before.

What are you talking about?

Oh, come on!

What?

Nothing is happening.

Well, but I mean, it's-

Look, I'm under a lot,

look, stop it!

I'm under a lot of pressure.

Well, but it's okay,
then, you know-

Hannah, would you stop it?

Goddamn it!

But it's okay-

I don't give a damn.

Where are you going?

I'm going to hell.

Liam, this is crazy.

This is ridiculous.

[door closes]

[quiet music]

[birds singing]

[quiet music continues]

You okay?

[Liam sighs]

Hey, all good?

It's okay.

Okay?

What?

What?

Are you okay?

Do you want me to wait
downstairs, maybe?

Yes.

Wait downstairs.

I'm gonna just, I'm
gonna get my boots,

and I'll, I'll wait for
you downstairs, okay?

Get your boots.

Do you, do you want me
to make you some tea?

Or, or, or, or get you some
wine, or something like that?

I think you can answer
that question yourself.

If you don't know what I want
by now, you'll never know.

Okay.

Sorry.

Yeah, you should be.

[Freddie crying]

[siren wailing]

[suspenseful music]

[Freddie sobbing]

[Freddie wailing]

[intense music continues]

- He flipped a switch.
- [sniffing]

I'd never seen him
like that before.

He was like this person
that I'd never even met.

[music stops]

[birds singing]

You know um, maybe you wanna,

maybe you wanna talk to
someone about it, you know?

I beg your pardon?

I'm just saying, I don't know.

I was just trying to help.

Would you like for me to
pour you your own glass?

Nah, I like yours.

[Liam chuckling]

You know, I've been thinking.

Maybe you might want to join
one of those dating apps.

Are you kidding me?

Why would I kid?

I don't want you to be lonely.

I'm fine, really.

I've got a very full life.

I'm good.

Are you?

Mm hm.

Why don't we go
get some fresh air?

Let's take a walk.

I think that sounds
like a fabulous idea.

I think you're
gonna like Freddie.

He's a very intelligent guy.

His book, little bit
scandalous by my taste.

But you know writers.

What time does he arrive?

Said he'd be here by dinner.

You know, when he
called the other day,

I thought he'd be the perfect
addition to our celebration.

Celebration?

What?

I don't know, just
seems kind of silly.

I mean, dramatic maybe.
[chuckling ruefully]

Okay. [chuckling]

Not at all.

I think we're setting
an example for others.

Others?

What others?

No one even knew that
we were together.

See, that's where it
gets a little strange.

This really doesn't have to
be some big uncoupling event.

Well, I just thought it'd
be a nice way to wrap it up.

Wrap it up.

And what would you call it?

This is your choice, so you
can call it whatever you want.

Oh God, I thought we
weren't gonna go there.

What?

Animosity.

You knew what you were
getting into when we started.

I did, but...

What?

I don't know.

I mean, you know, no matter
how many rules get laid out

at the beginning of
anything, we're still human.

My wife!

[Hannah groaning]

No, no, she's been there
before and she's bounced back.

You can only bounce back
from cancer so many times.

Oh.

Oh, come on.

Now that she's on her deathbed,

you're gonna get sentimental?

You knew I was never
gonna leave my wife.

Did I?

Hannah...

Did I, did I know?

Of course you did.

Right from the start.

You knew I was never
gonna leave my wife.

You never said that.

Well, listen to me.

We had a wonderful moment,
way back when, long ago.

But we never made closure,
and we need closure.

Oh, Hannah, I thought
about you constantly

through these years.

Every time I look
at my children,

I wonder what would they be like

if you had been their mother?

On vacations, it was torture.

I just pictured
us there together.

But my wife has
been a good partner.

She's devoted everything to her.

I owe her.

Being with me

didn't exactly make you
the doting husband, did it?

[Liam sighing]

Oh, good.

Maybe this wasn't
such a good idea.

What?

No, I think, um, I
think you're right.

I think you're right.

You know what?

Why don't we just go

and check on that amazing
stew you made, okay?

No more?

Okay?

I will be as sweet
as candy, Liam.

Good.

[suspenseful music]

Do you remember the first
time I brought you here?

[chuckling] Three years ago.

Yeah.

Three years ago.

I remember it very well.

You're so funny.

I missed your humor.

Wow.

Mi casa.

This is fabulous.

Oh, this is lovely.

Got a little dining area.

Oh, little.

Up there.

Great dinner.

I'll show you the den
a little bit later,

but I wanna show you my
pride and joy, my kitchen.

Oh, so nice.

And so pretty.

Just a little country
kitchen, that's all.

A little country kitchen.

Hardly.

No, I know what you mean.

And the funny thing is, Nancy
never comes here anymore.

Oh, that's a shame.

Why don't you guys just sell it?

You'd get a lot of money.

I like to have a getaway.

Get away from her?

Yes, I like to get
away from Nancy.

Oh, well, what does
she think you're doing

when you're here?

Writing.

Writing what?

My novel.

Oh, that's cool.

What, do you have a title yet?

Yes.

"Son of the
Narcissist." [chuckling]

Wait a second.

Isn't that the same
one you were working on

when I was in high school?

Busted.

That's a really long time to
be writing the same thing.

Well, how did you
expect me to finish?

I needed my muse.

You're my muse.

I can't finish without my muse.

Sex and creativity,
they go hand in hand.

Liam, um, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Hey, stop.

I, I just don't, I,

I thought we were
just gonna come here

and you were gonna show
me your country house,

and we were gonna have some
coffee and have a nice chat.

Right?

That's what we were gonna do.

And that's that we're doing.

Yeah, no, but I, I really,

do you really think it's such
a good idea to start again?

Absolutely.

No, Liam, Liam, Liam,

it took me years
to get over you.

I know that.

No, you don't know.

It took me years.

It was so hard.

It was so hard.

I went through so much.

That's behind us now.

Here we are.

It's the now.

And we're together.

I just, I-I just,

I-I-I-I think, I mean,

I don't, I really,

I don't know.

Hannah.

No.

Hannah.

What?

Listen to me.

Hmm?

You know you want me.

And I want you.

I just want to make you feel...

But I, I really don't know

if this is such a
good idea, Liam.

I really don't know.

[Liam moaning]

[Hannah panting]

[Hannah moaning]

[heartbeat pulsing]

[moaning continues]

[moaning continues]

[intense music]

You are absolutely
right, you know.

I think this is
gonna be so, so good

to just get this wrapped up.

[quiet music]

[birds singing]

[traffic whooshing]

[quiet music continues]

[quiet music continues]

[quiet music continues]

[doorbell ringing]

It must be Freddie.

Why don't you go let him in?

Hannah, let your hair down.

- Hi.
- Hi.

You must be Hannah.

Freddie?

Yes.

Come in.

Thank you.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

So, welcome to the party.

Thank you.

Should I help you
with your coat?

Oh, yes, please.

[Liam] Hannah, is that him?

[suspenseful music]

One for each of you.

Oh, how lovely.

[Liam] Hannah?

Thank you so much.

Is it Freddie?

Uh, yeah, yeah.

Uh, he's in the kitchen.

Do you wanna follow me?

Sure, thank you.

Okay, great.

[intense music]

Liam?

Hey, Freddie's here.
[laughing nervously]

[chuckling] Freddie.

Great to see you again.

You too.

It's been a while.

Yes, it has, hasn't it?

Quite a while.

Freddie brought
me a signed copy.

Really?

[Hannah] Yeah.

I brought one for you, as well.

Look.

Thank you, all right.

Yeah.

I'm good.

I read the reviews.

Well, I must tell you,
I am really thrilled

about having you two here
today for this celebration.

The concept is fantastic.

[Liam chuckling]

Yeah, the concept.

[chuckling] I think
our dear Miss Hannah

is somewhat of a sore
loser tonight, hmm?

I don't think so at all.

I think I have a different
way of looking at things.

Every ending is the start
of new beginnings, you know?

One door closes, another opens.

I always win in the end.

I am going to go and have a
nice look at my brand new book.

I think you guys should
just catch up, okay?

All righty.

Apparently she has some
issues to deal with

from early adulthood.

It'll be okay.

Uh, I dunno.

What don't you know?

I mean, this feels
a little awkward.

Are you sure you
want me to be here?

Absolutely.

I mean, we didn't exactly
part on good terms, you and I.

Well, it's all the more
reason to have you here

for this celebration.

Look, why don't you just
go join Hannah right now,

and she knows where
everything is.

You guys can set the table and
I'll just tend to the stew.

Sure.

[quiet music]

Hey.

Congratulations, Freddie.

Thank you.

It took a lot of courage.

Yeah, it's presented as fiction.

Yeah, but you know the truth.

I do.

Massive storm tonight.

I know.

Really shouldn't drive in it.

No, I shouldn't.

Mm.

You know, um, there's
a guest bedroom

if you're interested.

[both chuckling]

He wants us to set the table.

Oh God, what a control freak.

Of course he does.

Well, I guess, you know,

we could do what he wants.

Now.

Yeah, for now.

Let's do it, come on.

[ominous music]

Drink, please.

Mm, I'm good.

[scoffing] You can't
expect me to enjoy this

all by myself now, can you?

Well, you like wine, don't you?

Of course.

You taught me all
about wine, remember?

- Yes, I did, didn't I?
- [chuckling]

You taught me many things.

Yes, I did.

Many things.

So, Freddie, are you
working on a new novel?

Ah, yes.

Yes, I am.

Can you tell us what it's about?

I could, but then I'd
have to kill you both.

[Hannah chuckling]

[Liam chuckling]

So, Liam tells me you're
a therapist, Hannah.

Yes, I am.

[Freddie] What inspired
you to choose that path?

Um, in my twenties,

I had some really
bad things happen,

and had some issues
come up from it,

and became suicidal.

Twenty-something girls are
always so melodramatic.

I'm so sorry.

I'm not, actually,

I'm really glad it happened
because it put me on a path

where I had to get
a ton of therapy,

and it just inspired
this thing in me

that made me wanna return
the favor to the world

and try to help others
who were damaged.

Oh, come on.

Isn't that just like saying

that you refuse to
take responsibility,

that it's easier to blame
other people for your actions?

No, I don't agree at all.

I think what it is is
taking full responsibility

for any trauma that
comes into our life

and realizing that it's
about the way we react to it.

That's, that's the thing
that gives us back our power.

So interesting.

Right?

I mean, think about it.

You know, if everything is
all caught up inside of you,

and you're all, you
know, playing the victim,

and wanting to blame other
people and everything else,

that keeps you stuck
in almost depression,

where if you take action, that's
when you become the victor.

That's when you seize your life

and manifest your own
destiny, you know?

Yes.

[Hannah] Yeah.

That's actually what inspired
me to write my novel.

Exactly, see?

So you took something
that was really negative,

and you turned it into gold.

Yes.

[Hannah] Hmm.

[Liam chuckling]

Well, then I guess it is
possible to shine a turd.

Oh, Liam, you are a turd.

Excuse me.

Is this going to turn into a

let's-blame-Liam-for-everything
evening?

[laughing] Sorry.

[Liam] Excuse me?

[Hannah] No, I'm so sorry.

No, you're not sorry.

Look, if you two are
gonna behave like this,

why don't we just
call it an evening

and you two can kindly leave.

- Oh, Liam, [laughing]
- Liam, we're grownups here.

It's okay.

Shh.

It's okay.

Everything's fine.

Look, we're sorry,
right Freddie?

Yes.

[Hannah] We're so sorry.

Won't happen again.

I know what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna go make coffee
and get some dessert.

How's that?

[Freddie] Perfect.

Great.

And I didn't even start
drinking yet. [laughing]

Oh, Liam.

Thank you, my dear.

[Hannah] Mm hm, sure.

So how long have
you two been...?

Three years, give or take.

Oh, but you knew
each other before?

Oh, yeah.

Her real mom had passed away
and her father remarried,

and, well, I spent some time
with the family one Christmas,

and over dinner one night,

I noticed there was a spark
between Hannah and myself,

and, well, one thing
led to another and,

we became romantically involved.

So, wait.

Her father remarried your ex?

Yeah, yeah.

How old was she when?

Seventeen.

Seventeen?

Mm hm.

Jesus.

Did anyone find out?

[chuckling] Oh, no.

Your ex?

No, we were, we were
discreet about it.

It was a unique romance.

And uh-

But wait, wait, wait.

You said you spent time
with them over Christmas,

so this all happened
in their house?

Yeah.

Jesus.

Yeah, yeah, carried on
for quite some time,

right through the summer

before she went off to
New York to attend NYU.

I missed her.

So I took a place in New
York and we kept going.

Wow.

I had no idea.

How could you?

You hardly know her.

No, you're right.

I don't, I just...

Sorry, I guess it's all
a little bit shocking.

[Liam chuckling]

Learning all kinds of interesting
things about you tonight.

Stick around, the
best is yet to come.

Right.

Why don't you go help
Hannah in the kitchen?

Okay, I'm just gonna
clear the table.

[Liam] Knock
yourself out, buddy.

[quiet music]

Fucker can't get a normal
French press or something.

[Hannah muttering]

Making coffee?

Well, I hope I'm making coffee.

I can't get this
dumb thing to work.

Yeah, I mean,

there's only so much wine
in a human being can drink,

don't you think?

[Freddie] Unless you're Liam.

Got that right. [laughing]

I give up.

So how bad is his wife?

Nancy?

Yeah, that's her name.

Is it terminal?

Um, I'm not sure.

I mean, I've actually
never met her.

That would be kinda awkward,
don't you think? [laughing]

I can guarantee you one thing.

That chick is not
going anywhere.

She's got enough
money, she can go

and get the most expensive
alternative treatments,

and stem cells, everything.

She'll go to Mexico with a
suitcase filled with cash,

and she'll like, stay there
at some spa and get healed.

Yeah.

Kinda got that from the stories.

Yeah, I mean, think about it.

Think about Liam and who he is.

He wouldn't hook up
with anyone for life

unless there was something
in it massively for him.

And probably financially.

Look at this place.

You think a professor could
afford something like this?

Really?

No.

He was just telling me
your story, how you met.

Really?

Yeah, I was pretty stupid
and young, you know?

Was it force?

I mean...

No, not really.

I mean, it was, it was strange.

See, I was, I was a bad girl.

I was a brat in high school,

like really bad,
and kind of a rebel.

Wore Doc Martens, little
emo, dark eyeliner.

And the guys in high school,

they were a little too
innocent for me, even though,

I mean, I wasn't
getting with anybody.

But then Liam comes along,
and he's in my house,

and kind of a family friend,

and he's this
grownup, really smart,

and attractive, and
alluring, and all that stuff.

And I just was so
excited by the fact

that he was actually
paying attention to me

and he wanted to talk to me.

And he seemed so into me,
and I was just so turned on

by the fact that,
you know, whatever.

And I think there was
also this thing of me

wanting to get back at my dad,
or my stepmom, but who knows?

I mean, I was 17, you know.

How can you figure out a
17-year-old girl's brain.

Fucked up.

I was his assistant.

You know how close we were.

- I mean- - Yeah.

You heard.

I just thought he,

I just thought he
was the most amazing,

alluring, interesting
person I'd ever met.

But there's that thing
he's got, you know,

I don't believe he feels
things the way others do.

Like there's some piece
missing, something deep inside.

Maybe that's the mysterious part

that makes him so fascinating.

I don't know.

I guess that's why I
had to write the book.

Just that feeling that I
got when I was around him,

it just stuck with me.

Made me want to dissect it, rip
it apart, and understand it.

- Kinda like a serial killer.
- [laughing]

Not quite.

Oh, come on, it's okay.

You can, oh, so a little bit?

Just a little teeny bit?

It's okay.

I won't tell anyone.

Are you okay?

What do you mean?

I just feel like maybe
you, you're not ready.

Not like this.

I'm ready for the
next part of my life.

Seriously.

Here, could you take these in?

Jesus!

[laughing] I know.

Liam portions.

Yes.

And this, so he loves
chocolate-covered almonds,

but these are special ones
that I brought from Manhattan.

I mean, like, don't
you have one of these.

Oh.

Okay? [laughing]

Oh, what's that for?

Just wanted to do
it; I don't know.

I know.

Liam, I can't get your
damn coffee maker to work.

I'm gonna make tea, okay?

Fucker.

[suspenseful music]

So why sapio?

It's about a sapiosexual,

when people are
attracted to each other

for intellectual stimulation.

Ah, yes.

I like it.

Liam, did you ever
finish your novel?

Sorry, is that a bad topic?

No, he um, he-he never did.

It's the, um, it's the
same one he was working on

when I met him when
I was a teenager.

My life got in the way.

Nothing should get in the
way of art, of creating.

Oh, really? [laughing]

How about supporting oneself?

Having a successful career as
a professor, raising children,

being a husband?

Do you ever consider that
maybe those little obstacles

might have hindered my progress?

It sounds like a lot of excuses.

Excuse me?

Not trying to start a fight.

I just know that if someone
has a story inside of them

that needs to be told,

bottling it up can
end up harming others.

That's ridiculous.

No, it's not.

I think that your general angst

and your need to seduce people
that you deem beneath you

is directly related
to your inability

to expel this creation
from your being.

Really?

You seem to have a lot
of judgments about me.

Not at all.

I have no judgment.

I just know that if you
don't get this out of you,

it will fester inside.

Writing "Sapio" helped
me come to terms

with what happened to me.

It doesn't bother me anymore.

Whoa!

What happened to
you? [chuckling]

You, you seem to make it sound
like what happened to you

was so horrific.

Well, if I remember
correctly, my dear lad,

you were more than
motivated at the time.

I was young.

I was fascinated by you.

I thought it was so exciting
how you'd lived in Asia,

and you'd traveled, and were
so cultured and intelligent.

I was.

And I'm not now?

That's not what I
meant and you know it.

Oh, really?
[laughing ruefully]

Got a lot of judgements
about me, don't you?

Yeah.

Why did you come here today?

What?

Why did you come here tonight?

What do you want?

Why did you call me?

Liam, look, Liam.

It's, it's all good.

We're just talking here, really.

Oh, it seems to me you
were just sitting there,

and weren't saying anything.

You were just listening.

Well, I have nothing to say

about what happened
between you and Freddie.

Oh, the therapist has no comment

regarding his accusations.

Accusations?

Yes, accusations.

You seem to be implying

that there was some
sort of rape involved.

No, I didn't.

Oh, really?

Then why did you write
a book about that?

It's fiction is not verbatim
as reality happened.

Oh, then why didn't you
let the public know that?

Why?

I don't have to.

Oh, you mean to make
you feel better?

[thunder crashing]

Liam, Liam, I think
Freddie might have a point.

You know, you have this moment
where everything in your life

is getting wrapped up, you know?

Your kids are all grown up.

You and I are getting
all finished up here.

You and Freddie are having
this amazing meeting of minds.

I mean, this is the turning
point for you, really.

You have the ability

to do anything you want
in your life right now.

And think about it.

Your book is called
"Son of a Narcissist."

You know, finally coming
to terms with this

and getting this story out
of you and into the world

could be the single
most healing thing

you ever do for yourself.

Really? [chuckling]

That's interesting.

I'll get the next bottle.

Okay, I've had a
little bit too much.

I think I'm gonna
go to the bathroom.

[thunder crashing]

[Freddie] I'll bring
some candles in.

Found these on the counter.

I keep 'em ready in case.

Power's always going out here.

I'll bring this into Hannah,

[Liam] Mm hm.

I bring you light.

Yes, you do.
[laughing seductively]

I definitely don't think
I can drive in this storm.

I don't either.

It's so dangerous.

Excuse me, but I
have to take a piss.

Let me have this light so I
don't pee all over myself.

Good luck with that, Liam.

Let me lead the way.

Yes, please do.

God, I hope that
wasn't too awkward.

[both laughing]

How long do these
outages usually last?

Not long.

Power's usually up by morning.

Hopefully.

Okay.

Okay.

- Hello, welcome to Liam's.
- [chuckling]

So I don't think he even saw us.

I don't think so either.

Oh, wow.

This storm is really nice.

There he is.

[Liam] This storm is great!

[Hannah] Isn't it
beautiful, Liam?

My Bluetooth speaker's
perfect for this.

I think it has about six
hours of charge on it.

Oh no, does it mean you
can dance for six hours?

Wow, look at you go.

My goodness, Liam.

All right.

[Liam imitating stripper music]

Oh, my eyes.

Whoa! [laughing]

[mellow music]

Oh my goodness.

Goodness gracious.

Now we have a Hannah sandwich.

Oh Liam, I'm not a
teenager anymore.

Not by a long shot.

We could pretend.
[chuckling lustily]

Freddie, my dear man.

What, pray tell,
are you drinking?

Oh, I switched to vodka.

Wine gives me a headache.

And vodka doesn't?

Nope.

Really?

Live and learn.

Oh, so I was talking to Freddie,

and I convinced him
to stay the night.

Hmm?

Yeah, I mean, he could stay
in the guest room, right?

I don't want to
impose, of course.

Not at all.

I have an idea.

Freddie, you like to dance?

What?

You like to dance.

Be careful. [whispering]

Yeah, come on, come on, come on.

Come on, come on.

Up, up, up!

You're serious.

- What?
- I am serious.

Ugh.

Come on, up.

Join him, come on!

He can't dance alone.

You didn't even ask
me if I like to dance.

Well, come on, you know.

You know the rules.

You know the drill.

Let's go, let's dance.

Oh, come on now, dance.

No kidding around.

This is serious.

Put your arms around each other.

Oh, yes.

This is weird.

This is ridiculous.
[laughing nervously]

Oh, oh yeah.

[Freddie and Hannah laughing]

Stop laughing,
this is not a joke.

Thought it was.

[Liam] Freddie,
this is not a joke.

Come on, now dance.

We are.

[slow music]

Yeah, yeah, Freddie,
put your hands,

put your hands on her hips.

Yes.

Yes, look at her.

[Freddie and Hannah whispering]

Hannah?

Hannah?

What are you doing?

Really?

I mean, this is getting
kind of weird now.

Shh, shh!

It's not; it's beautiful.

Jessica, look into her.

Come on.

Come on, what do you want?

I want you to see that
you want each other.

Look at him!

What are you trying to do, Liam?

I'm trying to get you to see
that you want each other.

Don't you get it?

Look at her.

Beautiful.

Freddie?

I did not expect
anything like this to-

[Liam] Kiss her.

[Freddie] What?

Kiss her.

Goddamn it, kiss her!

My God, relax.

It's fine.

Is it all right?

Do you want play
this game or not?

This is a game?

Yes.

It's Liam Says.

[Hannah laughing]

Liam, go on.

No, no!

Go on, kiss her.

[Freddie and Hannah whispering]

[Hannah] Okay.

[Freddie and Hannah whispering]

Nice.

That's nice.

This is getting really weird.

Freddie.

We did.

[Liam] Kiss her.

No, what?

This is like torture.

What are you doing?

What do you mean torture?

- You wanna talk- - Liam.

Don't.

Don't, Freddie.

I just wanted you to see

that it's all exciting.

I'm not wrong.

It wasn't wrong then,
and not wrong now.

It doesn't matter.

Age, male, female.

It's connection.

To pretend that some one
person's desires are wrong

and the other's is right,

you're not allowing
the human spirit to fly

to its full potential!

It's okay, look,
look, we're okay.

We're okay.

All good.

Hold him.

Hold him.

[Hannah] Okay.

[Hannah whispering]

I don't know what he's gonna do.

[Freddie whispering]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

What are you gonna do?

[Freddie whispering]

I don't know.

I don't know.

Sorry.

[Hannah and Freddie whispering]

Whoa!

Whoa, hold it, hold it!

Hold it, hold it,
hold it, hold it.

Stop it!

What, I thought
that's you wanted?

No, no, no.

That's what you wanted.

That's not the way
it should be, no!

What?

Don't; it's not right.

It's just not right.

It's always been
about both parties.

What both parties want.

You wanted me as
much as I wanted you.

And same with
Freddie and myself.

I've come to believe
that sexuality

is more broad than
people like to admit.

And I also don't think that
any same-sex interaction

means anything in particular.

We're attracted to minds,
to individuals, you know?

Not necessarily about male,
female, that sort of thing.

So I understand what
you're saying, Liam.

You know, actually, I,

I think two men together
is really exciting.

[Liam] Really?

I've never admitted
that to anyone.

How about two women together?

What about it?

Do you find that enticing?

I find many things enticing.

What stops you?

Who says I stop myself?

Hmm.

I've come to find you very
uptight and inhibited.

Hmm.

That's interesting.

Because that's just the
way I behave around you.

Really?

Yeah.

Oh, I am different
with every person.

I take my lead
off whatever it is

that I'm getting from the other.

Oh, that sounds a
little bit sociopathic.

Maybe.

I guess maybe we're all a
little bit on the spectrum.

Yes, I think we all have

a little bit of
sociopath in each of us.

Mm-hm.

Have you ever...

What?

What, Liam?

Have you ever...?

[thunder rumbling]

[suspenseful music]

[rain pattering]

[suspenseful music continues]

[suspenseful music continues]

Come on.

[suspenseful music continues]

[suspenseful music continues]

[suspenseful music continues]

[suspenseful music continues]

[sultry music]

[sultry music continues]

[sultry music continues]

[sultry music continues]

[sultry music continues]

[sultry music continues]

[sultry music continues]

[sultry music continues]

[sultry music continues]

[sultry music continues]

[sultry music continues]

[sultry music continues]

[sultry music continues]

[sultry music continues]

[sultry music continues]

[eerie music]

Hey, I think I saw somebody.

What?

Look.

What are you talking about?

Liam, that's creepy.

It's just us, Liam.

It's just the three
of us. [laughing]

[rain pattering]

[Freddie and Hannah
laughing quietly]

I think we got him.

Really?

Yeah, I think we did.

We better, because I'm
not doing this ever again.

I think it's gonna
be a long time.

Yeah, whatever you gave
him is fucking weird.

[Hannah whispering]

I had no idea.

He was acting so weird.

Oh my gosh, he was crazy.

What the fuck?

I don't know.

I was getting scared.

I know.

[Hannah whispering]

On that note, I'm
getting a shower.

I think that's a good idea.

You're welcome to join me.

I absolutely will.

[Freddie and Hannah whispering]

Me too.

Thanks.

I'll deal with that thing, okay?

And then I'll meet
you down there.

Charlie, Charlie, hey.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Come on, I'll take
you to the front door.

[thunder rumbling]

Hey, you Freddie?

Yes.

You are?

I'm Charlie.

Charlie, nice to meet you.

You too.

Thanks for doing this.

Yeah, sure.

You sure you're up for it?

Absolutely.

I've been friends
with Hannah forever.

All right, perfect.

Let's go.

Let's go.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Yeah, it's okay.

[Freddie shushing]

Hi!

[indistinct], you look fabulous.

You look great.

Go on up the stairs,

and it's the first door
on the right, okay?

Hey.

It's wonderful to see you.

Oh, it's so good to see you.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Let me take your coat off.

[water pattering]

It's done.

I gave the guy the money,
and then he took an Uber.

He's good?

Yeah.

Me too.

We're only halfway there.

We can't stop now.

We can.

Do you want to?

Neither of us have what we
should have had in life.

This will help make it okay.

Won't we be just like him, then?

No, we'll never be like him.

For real?

For real.

[intense music]

[intense music continues]

[birds singing]

I've got the coffee
maker working.

Do you want some?

Yes, please.

I got one for you already.

Here you go.

How do they look?

Thank you.

Pretty damning.

On your right.

Ooh, my God, it's good.

That's great.

Can't believe he's still asleep.

Yeah.

Glad the power came back.

It always does.

[Liam] Hannah? Freddie?

Down here.

Make sure I'll take a shot.

Oh, so that's where my
robe went. [sighing]

Can't believe you
two are up already.

We've been up for hours.

So you drank a lot, huh?

- Yes.
- Mm hm.

As usual.

Coffee? Please?

Yes.

Oh, man.

Crazy night last night, huh?

[Freddie] Yes.

Fantastic, though.

Think so?

Why wouldn't I?

I don't know, it
was kind of uh...

Scandalous?

Well, it's not the word I
was looking for, but yeah.

More like unexpected.

Good one.

Whoa.

Make sure you drink
that coffee up.

I left it black.

Give you lot of energy.

You're gonna need it.

[laughing] Don't tell me
we're gonna do it again.

I don't think so.

You're pretty quiet
this morning, my friend.

Yes.

Guilty?

Excuse me?

You're feeling guilty.

No, actually, not even
the slightest bit.

[heartbeat thumping]

[Hannah laughing]

Hey, what's, what's
going on with you two?

Huh?

What, did you two slink
off and fuck all night?

We didn't slink off.

Amazing how someone
so intelligent

can be so crass at
times, don't you think?

Absolutely.

All right, all right, all right.

What, you're acting like
a couple of teenagers.

What the hell is going on here?

How funny is that?

Teenagers.

Considering that's his
favorite type of lay.

Oh, all right, Hannah.

We said we weren't
gonna to go here again.

Oh, don't worry, Liam.

Last time.

Never again.

Last time, never again.

Well, let's just get
this over with then.

All right?

You said you wanted
to wrap it up.

No problem.

Wrap it up.

I wanna get it over with.

[suspenseful music]

Liam, I'm gonna take a shower.

I wanna be outta here by noon
time, so be ready, all right?

I can give you a ride back
to the city, no problem.

Oh, that would
be, you know what,

there's this amazing place
I really wanna show you-

Hey, excuse me.

Excuse me!

I really wanna show you-

Excuse me, is this not
a language I speak?

Did you hear me?

Jesus Christ, yes, we heard you.

We're planning our exit.

And after this morning, ,

you will never see or hear
from either of us ever again.

I can assure you that.

Hurry up.

Lovely to spend some quality
time together before we go.

You hungry?

Yes, starving.

Bacon, sausage?

Bacon, please.

Okay.

Definitely put
that one in, okay?

Yes.

[Hannah whispering]

This is the final thing.

You have to confront
these people, you know?

Yeah.

Even if we don't get anything.

We will.

I gotta thank you
guys for last night.

You made me feel like
a young man again.

A moment I'll cherish forever.

Liam, Freddie and I have
known each other a long time.

15 Years, actually.

What the fuck are you...

Right after Freddie
left as your assistant,

he started coming to see me.

As you know, I specialize in
victims of sexual predators.

Liam's his name.

Liam.?

What's his last name?

Morris.

[Hannah gasping]

How long ago was it now?

Two years.

It was two years before
you said his name.

That's right, two years.

It took two years before
I revealed who it was.

That opened you up into
what you have love?

That's what you call it.

Well, what do you call it?

Taking advantage of
someone beneath you.

[Liam] Ah, don't be ridiculous.

I only had the best
of intentions for you.

Did you?

It seems to me, after hearing
more of the story with Hannah,

that this is your thing.

[scoffing] Don't be ridiculous.

You seduced her while
she was in high school.

She was, what are
you talking about?

She was living with my ex.

Your ex was her stepmother.

It's just so pedo.

I-I was just 13
years older than her.

That's normal in those places.

Not when it's in
her parents' house,

and their bedroom
is down the hall.

[Liam] Oh, she wanted it!

[Hannah] I was a teenager.

Teenagers want all
sorts of things.

If I wanted crack or heroin,

would you have just
given it to me?

[Liam] Oh, please.

[Hannah] Would anybody?

Of course not.

Wait a second.

I think there's a little bit
too much judging going on

around here, and not enough
dealing with reality.

I think the reality
is perfectly clear.

Well, let me tell you something.

You think you know me?

You don't know me.

You write one novel
about our relationship,

and then you try to fabricate
it and call it fiction.

And you think whole world
has to know. [scoffing]

No.

You were trying
to come on to me.

I was your assistant.

We were friends.

All right, all right.

Well, you certainly
seemed to try hard

to make me think
that you wanted more.

I did no such thing.

No? Come on.

All the little innuendos,
touching my shoulder,

gazing into my eyes.

You are imagining things.

Oh, am I?

What are you saying then?

I'm saying you're
nothing but a con artist.

Yeah, you're just a con artist.

You openly talk to
me about bisexuality.

Because...

Because?

Because I was young,
I was confused.

I think not.

It was more than that.

What?

It was more than that.

You were trying
to manipulate me.

Yeah.

So that I would help
you professionally.

That is absurd.

Oh, it doesn't matter now.

You have your bestselling novel,
and all this other bologna,

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

You're jealous, aren't you?

[laughing] No, I'm disgusted.

No, you're jealous because
I actually did something.

I took a chance, and you
just stayed on the safe path.

Typical marriage, typical
job, typical routine.

Never did a damn thing to
make your life special.

Not until you started
your little fling

with the girl whose
virginity you stole

in her parents' house!

I know your type.

You're nothing but a
little street hustler.

You hit hard.

You lie your way into anyone's
life to get what you want.

You use your words now,

your words to convince people
to send the other thing.

You weaken them so
you can crush them.

Well, guess what, buster,

it ain't gonna work with me.

Really?

Really.

Seems to me it already did.

Oh, really?

Show him.

Sit down, Liam.

Sit down.

You're gonna wanna
listen to her.

Here, check it out.

See this?

[camera shutter clicking]

I don't think Nancy's gonna
like me these too much, huh?

I agree, Hannah.

That's the kind of thing

that gets someone served divorce
papers virtually overnight.

And usually the woman
would cut a guy off

from funds if it's
her money and all.

Indeed.

Very true, Freddie.

But, there's a way to
make everything right.

You two are disgusting.

Both of you.

We're just two damaged people
trying to protect the world

from a sociopathic narcissist.

You set me up.

So-so who does that make
the real sociopath, huh?

How dare either of you judge me?

[Freddie] Doesn't
matter what I dare.

You need to pay us
off, both of us.

Oh no.

N-never.

Get out!

Hmm, you know, it's amazing.

Your internet is
really excellent, here.

Look at this.

I can get this zipped
file sent to Nancy in,

geez, like seconds.

Isn't that incredible?

Yeah, with the
speed of technology,

she could probably have
the divorce papers drafted

before you even finish the
drive back to Manhattan.

What do you want?

What did we talk about?

Wasn't it everything?

Yeah, everything.

No, no, you, give me a number.

She already said everything.

She meant it.

Look, you took away the
innocence of both of us.

I mean, who knows how
many others, right?

I was never able to have
any normal relationships

after you got done with me.

You took away
everything from me.

I was barely drinking age
by the time you got done.

You know, did you know that
you left me with an STD?

I've never been able
to have children,

and I'll never have children,
and it's all because of you.

I didn't know.

Hmm, yeah, of course you didn't.

And you took advantage of a
young, confused assistant.

It took years of therapy to
even begin to fix my shame

and self-loathing.

One way or another, it's
time to wrap this up.

Hm, yeah.

He likes those
words, doesn't he?

Let's see what we got here.

Yeah, I think right about here.

Look.

Here you go.

How the fuck did you get that?

Hmm, I have my ways.

You need to transfer everything
from the special account

your wife set up for
you and give it to us.

50/50 split between
myself and Hannah.

If you have access
to my account,

then why didn't you
just do it yourself?

See, I'm a different
kind of person.

I actually wanted your
permission before I violated you.

Well, you, you have
to leave me something.

You give us everything,
and Nancy doesn't find out.

[Hannah] Yeah.

You can rebuild and just
live the rest of your days

off your wealthy wife.

And when she dies,
your inheritance.

Or we could send
her the zipped file

and you're on your own.

Doesn't sound like her or
her family would take to

all your dalliances,
and whatnot, you know?

Here, all you have to do
is press this one button.

I set it all up for you.

It's really easy.

Do it.

Come on, Liam.

Just get it over with.

Don't be a little pussy.

[key clicks]

Thank you.

He did it, wow.

Impressive.

All right.

Ready?

I think we're out of here.

Ready, Freddie?

Ready.

Smile, Liam.

You're done with us for good.

[contemplative music]

[car humming]

[contemplative music continues]

Oh my God. [crying]

I could have stopped him.

I could've saved you.

I'm so sorry.

What did, what?

What?

I knew him.

What?

I'm so sorry.

I should've stopped him.

I should've stopped him.

I'm so sorry.

I know exactly how you feel.

I know.

[both sobbing]

The same thing happened
to me for years and years.

[indistinct]

[contemplative music continues]

Isn't this beautiful?

Oh, it's gorgeous.

I love it here.

Springtime is definitely
my favorite season.

Yeah.

Season of new beginnings
and opportunities.

Very true, yeah.

Thank you for meeting me here.

Yeah, well it took
a little convincing.

I have to tell you,

I have never, ever gone outside
my office with a client.

Ah.

Not even for coffee.

Really?

Yeah, really.

Fruits of the forbidden tree.

I suppose you can call
it whatever you want,

but it's true.

I keep very, very clear lines.

I hope it's not making
you too uncomfortable.

I didn't mean that.

No, I don't feel uncomfortable.

But I just, you know,

I'm a little hypersensitive

after my whole experience
with Liam, you know?

Understandable.

I mean, kinda young.

Well, that whole experience

is what made me feel
like I could trust you.

Hmm.

You just see me
the way no one has.

Hm, it's true.

We do share that.

[children chattering]

Yes.

Fortunately or unfortunately.

Yeah.

Not sure yet.

Yeah.

[music intensifies]

Do you wanna maybe have
dinner tomorrow night?

I'd love that.

I know this great place
by my office in the city.

All right.

What time?

Like, 6:00?

Sounds perfect.

I can't stay out too late.

I have a client early
the next morning.

Right.

But, okay.

School night.

Kind of. [laughing]

Yeah, you can call it that.

Let me show you these over here.

It's like a Miyazaki film.

It's so gorgeous.

All right.

Do you know Miyazaki films?

I don't.

I'm gonna show you.

You'll have to show me sometime.

Yes, okay.

So, do you think they
even know we're here?

I don't know.

I mean, they gave us this
bottle of wine at the bar.

Yeah.

And then they seated us.

But I mean, we didn't even
get menus or anything.

No.

You would think that they would
be a little more attentive.

A little.

Wait, that guy.

Look at that guy.

What?

Wait, hey.

- Oh.
- Nope.

He went to the kitchen.

Straight back to the kitchen.

[Hannah chuckling]

We are not his table.

Wow.

I mean, did we do
something wrong?

Did we piss somebody off?

I don't think so.

At least we have good company.

Yes, very much so.

I like your
necklace, by the way.

Oh, thank you.

It's moldavite.

It's what?

It's moldavite.

It's actually from outer space.

Really?

This is actually
part of a meteorite.

It's really dark green.

Metals and-

Yeah, yeah.

But the cool thing
is like all stones

have a certain power and an
energetic kind of vibration.

And this, trust me, it's true.

But this one-

I'm not laughing, I promise.

Oh great, yes you are.

[both laughing]

But this one is actually
known to transform the wearer.

Like you put it on,

and immediately like your
life starts going crazy,

and all these things happen,
and it's pretty amazing, yeah.

It's not just placebo effects?

Maybe, but you know, I took
it off once for like a year

and life got really boring,
so I put it back on.

[Freddie laughing] Yeah.

Actually there's a place that
I order from all the time.

Japanese restaurant.

Really great.

They deliver on
time, all the time,

and my apartment's just
like three blocks from here.

[Freddie muttering]

And I mean, I don't
wanna be like cheeky,

or creepy, or
anything, but you know,

we could always go to my
apartment and have some sushi.

I could show you
a Miyazaki film.

You said you never saw one.

Yes.

No, I haven't.

I mean, oh, you're missing
out on massive stuff.

All right.

Cool.

Let's go.

I'm so glad we got to do this.

- Me too.
- This is so fun.

Me too.

You're unique.

You're very special.

Thank you.

So are you.

Thanks.

All right, let's finish
this, and then we're off.

[intense music]

[intense music continues]

[Freddie exhaling]

Beautiful view, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

How are you feeling?

Different than I
thought I would.

You?

Yeah, same.

[Freddie sighing]

We did the right thing, right?

I think so.

Okay.

Do you regret it?

No.

Good.

You?

Mm-mm.

I think we needed that more
than we thought we did.

Hmm.

Hopefully it's over.

Yeah, hopefully.

I think we taught him a
pretty good lesson, don't you?

[chuckling] I hope.

I can only hope, really.

I don't know if people are
capable of changing, you know?

Yeah, who knows.

Yeah.

We should go.

I've actually got
something to go to.

Right, okay.

[contemplative music]

[contemplative music continues]

Thanks for driving
me back to the city.

No problem.

[wipers thumping]

Appreciate it.

[Hannah laughing]

Wait, wait, don't you
have another appointment?

Oh my gosh, what time is that?

- Oh crap.
- Oh shit.

Oh my gosh.

Oh my goodness.

Oh my goodness.

It's a little unprofessional.

Wait, your dress.

Thank you.

[zipper growling]

Okay, you're good.

I'm a mess now. [giggling]

You know I have to do this.

I know.

I think it's really
good, actually.

You know, it's a great idea.

Yeah, but as soon as
I finish I'll be back.

I think you're gonna
do great things.

Thank you.

You don't have to thank me.

No, this has changed my life.

Me too.

Now we know we're not broken.

We are very broken.

We're very, very, very broken.

But at least we're
not alone, right?

Yes.

All right.

You need your shoes.

Yes, I do.

- Yes.
- You too.

I do.

They make me look
more professional.

Yes.

All right, talk
to you soon, okay?

Okay.

[somber music]

[somber music continues]

When do I turn here?

Oh, about five or six
more blocks down, I think.

Okay.

How's the parking
by where you live?

I don't know.

I don't really, I almost
never drive in the city.

So, yeah.

I was just thinking maybe I
could come up for a nightcap.

Oh, oh, I would love that.

But I'm, I'm not going home.

Oh.

My patient, she's been
texting me all weekend,

so I just wanna like
go and check on her

and make sure that, you
know, everything's okay.

Okay.

So you don't live around?

No, I live in Tribeca now.

I used to live up here
back when we used to-

Right.

You know, hang out before.

You're gonna love my new place.

- Yeah?
- Oh yeah, definitely.

I'd love to see it.

Come over this week?

- Yeah?
- Yeah, yeah.

We can have dinner,
or something.

Or something. [laughing]

Yeah, we'll figure
something out.

There's lots of good
places down there.

- Okay.
- Yeah.

You'll like them.

You'll like 'em a lot better

than that first
place I took you.

They have waiters who'll
actually pay attention to us?

- Yes.
- Yeah, okay.

Bonus.

Is it right here?

Uh, yeah, you can
turn right here.

Then we're gonna
go up the West End.

Thank you.

I really appreciate it.

Of course, of course.

You're so sweet.

I hope there's nothing
serious with your patient.

Hmm, yeah, me too.

Hope I wasn't keeping
you from anything.

What?

No, nothing, I'm just...

What's keeping me from-

No, just hope she's okay.

Oh yeah, me too, me too.

Who was keeping
me from something?

Surely not me.

[both laughing]

No.

You are never an imposition.

Well, it was nice seeing you,

even under the
crazy circumstances.

Yeah.

Yeah, interesting way
to get back together

after all these
years. [laughing]

Yes.

So this week we're gonna
reel it in a little, okay?

All right.

Just me and you. [laughing]

No one else.

No animals, nothing
crazy, all right.

[Freddie] Okay.

Yeah, I think it's best
to keep things simple.

I agree.

Yeah.

[wipers thumping]

I got one right over here.

Okay.

Yeah, just pull over.

Right here?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

All right, so I'll talk to you?

Yes.

All right, I'll see you.

Okay, see you this week.

Definitely.

Gimme a call.

Absolutely.

[Hannah] Careful.

[Freddie] Bye.

[hazard lights clicking]

[clicking continues]

[footsteps stomping]

[suspenseful music]

Nancy.

My wife.

Nancy never comes here anymore.

I like to get away from Nancy.

Is his wife, Nancy?

Yeah.

I've actually never met her.

That'd be kind of awkward,
don't you think? [laughing]

Is it done?

It's done.

Oh, fantastic.

[Hannah laughing]

Fantastic.

Oh, it's really over.

Yeah.

I'm so glad you're so healthy.

How bad is his wife?

Is it terminal?

My wife, she's been there
before, and she's bounced back.

[both laughing]

So healthy.

So healthy.

If you want, I can um, I can
wire you the money right away.

No, seriously.

No, no, no.

It would make me happy,

and all I wanna do
is make you happy.

You already did.

I know you have
plenty of your own,

but I just wanna
give you everything.

I'm gonna go take
a shower, okay?

Okay.

You have no idea what
I've been through.

Oh God.

Do I wanna know?

Mm, no.

[both laughing]

All right, love.

Come back to me.

[Hannah kissing loudly]

I miss you already.

I'll be so fast, so fast.
