Come on in.
Yes, he just arrived.
He is wearing beige pants, brown leather derby lace ups...
a white shirt with what must be his initials on it. B.M.F.?
No, I'm sorry, R.M.F.
No, I'm not short-sighted, Raymond, it's just that...
the R is badly embroidered and it looks like a B.
No, his shirt's ironed just fine.
Would you like me to take a photo and send it for you to see?
Yes, I told you, it's fine.
Okay. Okay.
Raymond, the note that you left me this morning was perfect.
I'm going to water the plants and then...
I think I might practice playing the song on the piano.
It's been so long since I last practiced playing the piano.
Does it hurt anywhere else?
My arm hurts.
Probably broken.
I think you should take me to the nearest hospital right away.
I should definitely be examined by a doctor.
It's probably best they keep me in for a few days for observation.
There might be some sort of internal bleeding or something.
Don't worry, they'll check you for everything at the hospital.
Good morning, darling.
Good morning.
You got in late last night.
Sorry, I was asleep before 11:00.
It's fine.
I got held up at the office, that's why I was late.
What happened to your forehead?
It's nothing. There was an accident...
on the drive home last night, but it's nothing serious.
What do you mean? Shouldn't you see a doctor?
I went by the hospital last night, but they assured me it's nothing.
They just gave me some tranquilizers.
Robert, you should've called. You went to the hospital on your own?
It was nothing. There's no need to worry.
Raymond sent it yesterday.
He is such a sweet man. I don't know how we can ever repay him...
after everything he's done for us.
A genuine smashed McEnroe racket from 1984.
It must have cost him a fortune.
Isn't it wonderful, Robert?
Yes, it's wonderful.
Give Raymond a kiss for me. I'll give him a call, too.
I rang him just now, but he didn't pick up...
and I didn't want to call again right away, in case I woke him.
Sure, I'll do that.
Tell him it's the nicest thing he's ever given us.
I'll tell him.
"Tomorrow, Wednesday, wake-up time, 0700 hours.
"Outfit, black monk strap shoes, blue suit, white shirt and tie.
"Lunch, beef burger, vanilla milkshake.
"Dinner, linguine Bolognese, potatoes au gratin...
"chocolate mousse with almonds and berries.
"At 2300 hours...
"drink one glass of whiskey, Johnnie Walker Red on the rocks.
"Read Anna Karenina till 2330.
"No sexual intercourse. Have a nice day, R."
Hello.
Good morning, Robert.
Good morning, Louise.
Mr. Frischmann wants to see you in his office.
Three o'clock, in his office.
I might need to pass by the construction site this afternoon...
I might not make it back in time.
If I were you, I wouldn't pass by the construction site this afternoon.
Mr. Frischmann wants to see you in his office at 3:00.
All right, then, Louise. Thank you. Bye.
Hi. Can I go in, or is he busy?
He's just on the phone. Won't be long.
- Have I ever shown you my son? - No.
He's adorable.
Isn't he?
He really is.
Aren't you and Sarah thinking of having children?
Sarah can't have children. She has this issue with her ovaries.
Sorry, I had no idea.
That's all right.
Good afternoon, Robert. Don't just stand there, sit down.
Were you waiting long?
- No, 15 minutes or so. - Hey, your hair's nice like that.
Don't get it cut, let it grow a little longer.
And you've lost more weight, I think.
Skinny men are the most ridiculous thing there is.
We've gone over this before, you must put on a few pounds.
I told you that last time.
- But I have. - You most certainly have not.
You're even skinnier now.
We'll have to take another look...
at your eating plan for the week.
Did you read Anna Karenina?
I'm just finishing it off. There's a few pages left.
Sit.
Will you have something to drink?
I would love a vodka.
I will be joining you after all...
for your trip to Munich.
I reckon I can make it. They won't need me at the construction site here next week anyway.
Sarah might be joining us too.
If you don't mind, that is.
Also, maybe she told you already, but she loved the racket.
Said it was the best gift you've ever given us.
That's great. You know what?
I didn't pour you a vodka.
I think a whiskey now would be much better.
Yes, right, a whiskey is much better.
Raymond, I'm sorry about yesterday.
Truly sorry.
What did you do today?
I woke up at 7:30, showered, didn't wash my hair, and then drank my juice.
- Orange and lemon? - Orange and lemon.
Did you and Sarah fuck this morning?
At 8:30, right after breakfast.
Very good. I spoke with Sarah...
an hour ago.
And yes, she did say she liked the gift very much.
Yes, she said it was the nicest thing you've ever given us.
She liked it more than Ayrton Senna's...
- scorched racing helmet? - Oh, much more.
- Thank you so much. - Oh, no, thank you.
You deserve all these things. It's the least I can do.
Raymond...
sorry again about yesterday. I don't know what went wrong.
I should have been hospitalized.
The doctor just couldn't be trusted, he must...
The doctor who saw you is excellent...
he's a friend of mine. And I spoke with him earlier...
and he said that there was really no need to have you hospitalized...
for a scratch on your forehead.
My back hurts.
Here and here.
Robert, listen. It doesn't matter.
These things happen.
And anyway...
I'm going to give you a chance to make it up to me.
We're going to repeat the crash two days from now...
and this time you can do it right.
Same place, same time...
same midnight blue BMW.
Ram into him at a higher speed and everything will be fine.
- I can't crash any faster, Raymond. - Robert...
in two days...
it'll be happening again...
and you'll see to it that you're driving faster.
- I don't think I can do that. - Really now, Robert...
I don't have time for this.
You have two hours to think it over.
Go to Cheval, sit at the bar.
Ask them to bring you a drink...
something nonalcoholic so it doesn't cloud your judgment.
Then come by my house tonight and let me know what you've decided.
Good evening, sir.
Good evening.
What can I get you?
I'd like a double Johnnie Walker Red on the rocks, please.
- Just kidding. A Virgin Mary, please. - Right away, sir.
That was quick.
Enjoy.
Hey, Robert.
Sorry, Robert. Vivian and I were just having a...
very interesting conversation about palm trees...
so I'll be with you in just a moment.
So, tell me about that weevil.
Yes.
So...
there's this weevil that's destroying them. It's carried on the wind.
So, it has wings?
Or it's very light, I don't know.
And it only attacks palm trees.
And so now...
it's illegal to buy or sell palm trees in various places across Europe and Africa.
Which means that you can't just walk into a nursery...
and buy a palm tree...
because they're banned because of this weevil.
So, now they're bought and sold on the black market.
And this weevil only attacks palm trees?
Yes. Only palm trees.
Okay.
That is really amazing.
I'll leave you two alone now.
Amazing, eh?
Really amazing.
Right then, Robert.
I'm all ears.
Yes.
Raymond, I've given this a lot of thought...
and I can't do what you're asking me to do.
Again. You come in and sit down there before you speak.
- Raymond. - I want you to come in...
and sit down there before you speak. Vivian.
I'll leave you two alone now.
- Raymond, I've thought... - And, actually...
it was better when you said it standing up, so...
go out and come back in. Do it by yourself. Without Vivian.
Raymond, please.
Raymond, I can't do...
what you asked me to do. I'm sorry.
Anything else you want, yes.
But that one thing, it's just too frightening.
If I crash any faster...
the other driver might be killed.
Yes.
I know what might happen, Robert.
And the driver of the other vehicle is fine with losing his life...
he's agreed to it in fact...
so there's really no...
need for you to worry about that. If you...
really don't want to disappoint me...
that is, Robert.
If you truly love me, I mean.
What you're asking...
it's too much.
I love you, Raymond, I love you.
But this is too much.
No, no, no. You don't love me at all.
I can feel it. This isn't love.
I don't know what it is, but it's clearly not love. But, no matter.
I knew this day would come. It's fine.
Ten years it lasted.
That's not nothing.
The truth is...
I expected you to tire of it all far sooner.
Can I just say something?
- This doesn't have anything to do with love. - Right then, Robert, you're free now.
You can go on your way. Tonight...
tomorrow, and every day from now on, you're free to...
sleep whenever you like, fuck whenever you like.
Have however many children you like.
Wear whatever socks you like.
Raymond, please.
I never denied you anything.
Even when you asked me...
told me not to have any children.
I wasn't happy about it, but I didn't say a word.
Ask me for anything else you want and I'll do it.
But I can't be responsible for another man's death.
I'm tired, Robert.
You don't have to give me anything back.
You can stay in the house you've been living in...
and keep the car of course.
Goodbye, Robert.
They took the racket.
What did you say?
Raymond came in during the night while we were sleeping...
and took the racket.
That's so strange. Who could have taken the racket?
The alarm didn't go off.
- I'm calling the police. - Raymond knows the code, darling.
To be precise...
he picked the code out himself. You didn't know that.
1962. The year he was born.
And there's more.
The two of us are together...
because that's what he decided.
That night in Cheval...
he picked you out for me.
He saw you sitting there on your own...
and he told me to go over and flirt with you. I liked you a lot too...
don't get me wrong, but he made me do it.
He suggested I make it seem like an accident...
told me to pretend I'd hurt my hand to get us talking.
The notes...
in the flowers...
I sent you, he wrote those.
He picked out this house...
these stools...
- he picked out this robe... - Robert...
you need to be heading to the office.
I'm not done yet.
There's one last thing.
I never told you this before.
And it's terrible...
what I'm about to tell you, I know that...
but you need to hear it.
The reason we never managed to have a child all these years...
is not because you couldn't.
It's because...
Raymond was secretly...
paying doctors to mess things up.
Those weren't miscarriages, Sarah, they were abortions.
The wireless customer you called is not available at this time.
Sarah.
The wireless customer you called is not available...
Okay, safely. Safely. Safely. Remember, it's not a race.
All right. Great job.
Kick. Don't forget to kick.
Very good. Very good.
All right. Yeah, get your kickboard if you need it.
Robert, I haven't seen you in so long.
Have you lost weight?
Will, is Sarah around?
Sarah quit. This morning. Over the phone too.
Ah, she quit.
She did tell me she was planning to, but I've had so much work...
recently, Will, you can't imagine how much work...
and I forgot all about it.
I did ask if it was health-related...
but she said no. I just, I hope it's nothing serious.
No, no, she just...
tired herself out lately, that's all.
I'm sure you'll have a great time in Munich.
Why don't you stay there a few extra days?
I'm sure things will be better when you get back.
When are you flying out?
In a couple of days.
- Robert. - Where is my wife?
Raymond isn't here right now, and I'm getting ready to head out myself.
Then I'll wait for him to get back. Sarah!
He left for Germany.
Is my wife with him? Did they go together?
Robert, get out.
Are the three of you fucking maybe?
Get out of my house right now...
or I will call Raymond and you will rue the day that you ever set foot in here.
I suggest...
you run back home to your mom and dad, while you still can.
Because getting fucked...
by an old man like Raymond, you deserve better than that.
Getting fucked by an old man like Raymond is, however, exactly what you deserve.
You're pathetic. Get out of my sight.
Good evening.
This here is Ayrton Senna's helmet.
The blue and green stripes symbolized speed...
and aggression, whereas the yellow all over symbolized youth.
What was it the yellow symbolized?
Youth.
These are the shoes worn by Michael Jordan...
in the game against the Washington Bullets in '84...
when he led the Bulls to a home win by 16 points.
$10,000.
For what?
For everything.
You can't be serious.
That ping pong ball alone is worth $5,000.
$12,000.
$20,000 at least.
$12,000.
Yes, good morning. Can I speak with Mr. Smith please?
It's Robert Fletcher. Thank you.
Mr. Smith, I would like to...
see you if I can. I'd like to speak with you.
Yes.
No, no, tomorrow's fine. Should I come by your office?
In the afternoon sometime?
Yes, that's perfect.
Raymond?
Raymond's well. He's in Germany, on a business trip.
Sarah, I'm worried. Please call to let me know you're okay.
And I have some good news. I'm meeting with Edward Smith tomorrow.
You know how much he wants me to work for him.
He'll go nuts when I tell him I'm available.
Please, Sarah, come home.
I miss you.
I know you miss me too.
I'm sorry if I upset you.
I love you very much.
Okay. Bye.
Excuse me, do you know if Mr. Smith will be long?
I'm not sure, Mr. Fletcher. I don't imagine so.
He's in his office?
No, he's out.
But he knows I'm here, right?
He's well aware of all the appointments he has today.
Don't you worry about that.
Is that cute little boy your son?
My grandson.
I don't have any children.
My wife had this issue, you see...
but she's all better now and we're thinking of having one.
That's great.
Hello.
Yes. Of course.
Mr. Fletcher, I just spoke with Mr. Smith.
And?
Unfortunately something came up...
and he won't be coming by the office today.
But we will be in touch...
to arrange a new appointment.
Right. How about I call you tomorrow?
We'll be in touch.
Are you ready to order, sir?
I don't know. I can't decide.
I know I'm not hungry.
That's fine, sir. How about something to drink?
- Yes. - There's a wine list on the back.
I'll have the...
- Could you recommend me a wine? - White? Red?
Whatever's best. I mean, whatever you think.
I recommend a white Chardonnay from New Zealand.
Perfect.
I slipped and hurt my hand. I guess someone must've spilled water on the floor.
It's probably just a sprain.
Good morning, Raymond. Can I have just five minutes of your time, please?
I'm afraid not.
Raymond, please. I want to say I'm sorry.
I regret what I did, it was totally unacceptable...
you have every right to be angry.
Please forgive me. I made a mistake. I made a mistake.
I'm already running late. I think the best thing for you...
is to go home and calm yourself down.
I don't want to go home.
Good morning, Raymond. Can I have just five minutes of your time, please?
I'm afraid not.
Raymond.
Please, I had a horrible dream last night...
and that's all I've been seeing in my sleep lately.
I want to say I'm sorry.
I regret what I did. It was totally unacceptable...
and you have every right to be angry, but please forgive me.
I made a mistake.
I'm already running late.
I think it's best you go home and calm yourself down.
I don't want to go home, Raymond.
Can I come up to your office, please?
- I want to go up to your office. - No, you cannot. I think...
I made myself clear the other day.
What you're doing now is completely ridiculous.
Just go.
Before you humiliate yourself any more than you already have.
It's for your own good.
Good morning.
Raymond, I'll do whatever you tell me.
I'll never object to anything ever again.
I've even started gaining weight.
You can't imagine how much I've been eating.
I ate two burgers and drank two milkshakes just now...
and I finished reading Anna Karenina.
You were right. It really was beautiful.
There were two moments where I cried.
Go fuck yourself, Robert.
Yes, sir.
Two double Johnnie Walker Reds on the rocks, please.
Hi.
Hi, Rita.
Thank you so much.
No, no, I wanted to thank you for everything.
How's the foot?
Are you all right?
Are you hurt?
Just a little.
A little?
I missed that step. I didn't see it.
What step?
There's a step in the men's bathroom.
Should I get you some ice?
No, don't worry. It's nothing.
I wouldn't want to trouble you.
Thank you so much, though. You're very...
- kind. - That doesn't look like nothing.
Are you here with anyone?
No, it's just me.
I have this exact same car.
Really?
What are the chances?
It hurts more now.
Well, hang in there.
We're only five minutes away.
Have I seen you somewhere before?
Are you at that bar and restaurant often?
No, that was my first time there.
Are you an architect by any chance?
No, I work at an opticians downtown.
I'm Rita Fanning.
Robert Fletcher.
I know I've got a lot of nerve, what with you...
taking me to the hospital yesterday and all, but I have...
one more favor to ask.
Sure, what is it?
I want to take you out for dinner one night.
It's the least I can do and it would make me very happy.
- If it's not a chore. - I'd like that.
It would be my pleasure.
- Really? - Of course.
Tomorrow evening?
Tomorrow evening.
Rita, it's Robert.
I hope you're okay. I'm outside your house right now.
I guess you forgot about tonight. Call me when you can.
Have a nice night.
Come in.
Hi, Rita.
Hi.
What happened?
How are you?
I'm a little worse than you were that day at the restaurant.
I'm sorry about the other night.
There's no need to apologize. What happened?
I was driving home from work and...
I crashed into another vehicle at an intersection and...
I don't remember anything after that.
I woke up and I was here.
What kind of vehicle was it?
A blue BMW I think.
What about the other driver?
The other driver was a man.
I don't know, after a certain point I don't remember a thing.
I mean, is he alive?
He's in pretty bad shape from what I've heard, but yes, he's alive.
That's fortunate.
I can't believe this happened to you. Are you in pain?
My shoulder hurts a little.
And to be honest, my whole body does.
Would you like me to call someone for you or...
- can I get you anything? - No, that's fine.
Actually, could you help me use the bathroom?
Of course.
Thank you.
Gorgeous flowers.
Aren't they?
They're from some friends of mine.
They actually left just before you arrived.
I'm so happy to see you.
I brought you a book...
to help you pass the time.
Thank you so much.
Have you read it?
Yes. Just recently, in fact.
It's amazing. I cried half the time.
I'll bring you some other book then.
No, leave it with me, I'll read it again.
No, I'll bring you another book.
Well, I have to go.
They're expecting me back at the office.
I'll come visit again tomorrow.
Thanks for coming.
Excuse me.
Could you do me a favor, please?
Sure.
Could you help me get to the men's room? I banged my foot and it really hurts.
Thank you so much.
Easy, easy.
Right here, sir.
I did it. I did it.
I did good.
Vivian...
didn't I tell you that this young man here would not disappoint me?
You sure did, Raymond.
I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I want to feel you in my arms again
And you come to me on a summer's breeze
Keep me warm in your arms...
Then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love? How deep is your love? How deep is your love?
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us...
Hello.
Yes?
I can't hear you.
That's a difficult situation for anybody.
I think Daniel just needs a little bit more time.
Listen, Neil, give me no excuses.
I know he needs time.
I was first to say that he needs time...
but there are limits.
Look at him.
Look how he's acting with that suspect.
As if they just fucked for the first time...
and he doesn't know how to tell him that he loves him.
Help him. He's your friend.
Help him snap out of it.
All right?
- Have a good day, sir. - Thank you, sir. You too.
That suspect was looking at me funny.
Well, everyone looks at us funny, Daniel. We're the police.
No, he was looking at me real funny.
Didn't he look a little like Liz?
Around this area, around...
this part of his face, around the chin?
That little punk looked nothing like Liz. No.
You're thrown by the fact that Liz is slimmer.
She should have lost even more weight by now.
Trust me, he looked like her.
If they are still alive, what are they eating?
Fish, I guess. Something like that.
Daniel, hear me out.
The weather's already getting better.
They haven't called off the search, you know that.
And I genuinely believe, no matter how much you think otherwise...
that they're doing a great job out there.
I heard this morning, the head of the rescue mission is hopeful.
It's just a matter of time, he said, now that the boat's been found.
He said that today?
Around two hours ago.
Will you come by the house tonight?
We'll come by the house tonight.
We brought chocolate cake for dessert.
Chocolate will be banned again...
in this house, you know, once Liz gets back, so we thought...
Would you like me to cook your meat a little more?
That's okay. It's a little bloody for my liking...
but it's delicious all the same.
I like mine almost raw...
- but I can cook yours... - No, no. Sit yourself down.
Sit yourself down. It's superb.
I had no idea what a good cook you are, Daniel.
Better even than Liz.
But soon she'll be back...
making us that wonderful roast lamb of hers.
- Well, you're a wonderful cook, too, Martha. - Not like Liz.
I'll never forget the night the two of you came over...
and everything went completely wrong.
Remember that baked salmon?
It came out of the oven almost charred.
- Completely dry. - You're wrong about that. It was wonderful.
It was awful.
And I made chocolate mousse for dessert.
Completely forgot that Liz doesn't eat chocolate.
She was so polite about it.
She said something funny.
I can't quite remember what it was she said. Do you remember what it was?
Thank you so much.
What for?
For everything.
Both of you. Thank you.
There's no need for that.
Do you mind if we watched a video?
One of the old ones.
I don't think that's a good idea, Daniel.
I think we'll all find that a little awkward.
Just a little.
A minute, no more.
To remember her by.
I really don't think we should.
It won't do you any good, and it'll be pretty strange for us, too.
And you already showed us those...
wonderful photos of Liz on the boat on her travels.
I'd never seen those photos of her with those reefs she discovered.
Real impressive.
Okay.
Are you sure you don't want something else to drink?
Oh, no, I'm fine.
I'm fine, too.
Those photos at the reefs were great, weren't they?
Really great.
Okay.
Well, we can watch a little of that video.
Thank you.
Could you turn the volume down a little?
Sure.
Hello?
Yes?
Who's there?
Is this Mr. Daniels?
Yes.
Did I wake you?
No, no, you didn't wake me.
I have some good news for you, sir.
At midnight last night, we located your wife.
Really?
Come here.
We were worried about you.
I missed you so much.
I missed you both so much.
I can't believe I'm back.
That I'm okay.
I heard that Carol is still missing.
Jonathan is in the next room, but he's in pretty bad shape.
- Daniel. - Yes, my love?
I want you to take me home.
Yes, I will.
Be patient.
You've lost weight, you're still weak.
What did you all eat out there for so long?
Fruit.
Animals.
Fish.
How's Jonathan?
Not great, Daniel.
He's lost a lot of blood.
And they told me his leg's infected and they said there's a chance he'll lose it.
He'll pull through.
I know it. He's one tough cookie.
They're operating on him tomorrow morning.
We'll know more by 12:00 noon, but no one's optimistic about his chances.
I heard Liz is doing well, though.
You can't imagine how happy I am for her.
I knew this would happen someday. I don't know why, but I just knew.
When we all get out of this hospital, Daniel, I am not letting him go out to sea again.
No way. No more research, no more reefs, no more diving. That's it.
That's right. You put a stop to it, Sharon.
Have you told the children yet?
I don't know what to tell them.
Anything you need, just give me a call.
Thanks so much.
What was that about?
What's gotten into him? He's never acted like that before.
Are you hungry?
I can fix you something to eat.
There's eggs. I could make you an omelet.
There's also some leftover meat from the other night.
I've missed eating something sweet.
What is that?
Oh, chocolate. That's what I want.
You sure you're all right?
I'm totally sure. Thank you.
And when the weather turned, they were only...
one day away from heading home.
Liz kept insisting they drop anchor somewhere and wait for the storm to pass...
and the others insisted that they set out.
Happy to hear that Liz is back safe and sound, Daniel.
Thank you, Chief.
All right.
She told me from a certain point on...
everything happened...
real fast, and all she remembers is trying to swim to shore.
She also said how strange it was that even...
when her life was in danger...
all she could think about...
was the instruments, the equipment, her files and notes...
on the boat that had been lost.
Ever the professional.
And so very brave.
Apart from Liz, one of her colleagues survived, too...
but he's in critical condition.
He lost a lot of blood and I heard they amputated his leg.
The other three were all found dead.
That's awful. Look, let's not dwell on unpleasant things.
What's important is that Liz is well and here with us.
Yes.
Really is amazing she made it.
Are you sure this outfit is okay?
Of course it is.
Besides, it's your favorite.
Yes. Yes, it is.
I don't think these heels go with it. I'll try a different pair.
Your shoes don't fit?
Oh, they fit.
They're fine.
I guess my feet are a little swollen.
They're fine.
It's fine.
They're on.
I think I heard the doorbell.
Can I have a cigarette?
Sure.
I didn't know you smoked, Liz.
I don't.
I've never smoked.
Can you believe that? I've never even tried.
I just really felt like a cigarette.
Should we all go upstairs to the bedroom?
I think it's best we don't go up to the bedroom tonight.
So, what, we're going to fuck on the table?
Come on, Daniel, that would be weird.
We'd better be getting home soon.
Liz, you must be tired and I have to be up early.
But everything was wonderful tonight, though.
I think you're right. I think we should leave it for some other time.
Maybe next time.
I'll clean up the plates.
I just can't stand having food in front of me when I've finished eating.
I will help.
No, Martha, you sit, I'll be right back.
No, I want to, please.
Thank you.
I've had far too much to eat tonight, and when I've had far too much to eat...
I don't sleep well at all.
Neil, I'm going to tell you a secret.
You are my best friend, and I want to tell you a secret.
You are. Aren't you my best friend?
Of course, Daniel.
That woman isn't Liz. She's not my wife.
What do you mean?
I mean, she's not really Liz.
I don't know what's going on, I don't know what's happened to Liz...
but what I do know is that she's lying. She's not really my wife.
Daniel, you've had a lot to drink tonight.
Just listen to me. Listen.
We were out for a drive and I told her to put on my favorite song.
Anyone who's close to me knows which song is my favorite song.
Holiday.
Right.
But when I asked her to play that song...
that's not what she played.
You like that one a lot, too, though.
Yes, a lot.
But that's not my favorite song.
Daniel...
you know Liz has been through a lot lately.
She found the chocolate cake...
that you brought over in the refrigerator and ate it.
All of it.
Daniel...
you mustn't forget Liz was starving for days.
It doesn't surprise me she had a little chocolate now that she's back.
I think it's time.
We should be going.
It's pretty late and I'm really tired. Thanks for everything.
Yeah. Thank you both so much.
Liz!
I have to leave for work. I'm late.
Can you believe that the whole time I was lost in the middle of nowhere...
cold and hungry...
all I could think about wasn't...
the hot meals I was missing...
or the warm blankets back home.
Or even my dad.
All I could think about...
- was your cock. - Liz.
We could fuck with you wearing your uniform.
Or I could wear it.
No, you wear it.
Have you lost your mind?
That hurt.
I'm sorry, darling. I thought you liked a little club play when we fuck.
Tonight, we honor Liz...
who has advanced our maritime research...
with her passion...
her persistence...
her expertise.
And now I have a little surprise for you all.
You could at least try and look happy for Liz.
It's outrageous, the way you've been behaving.
You haven't said a single word to her all evening.
You've been treating her very badly.
Safe and sound.
The helicopter pilot that located and recovered Liz and Jonathan.
George, I'm tired. Could you stop talking?
Snap out of it.
George...
open your eyes...
and look clearly at what's going on around you.
Thank you all so very much.
- We might all be in danger. - The most important thing to me...
- What, are you drunk? - are the people that I love.
Jonathan, you should know that you're in our prayers.
In all of our prayers.
You'll feel better soon. I know it.
You'll be home with your kids in no time.
Are you a doctor?
No, Jonathan, it's me. Liz.
It's Liz, my love.
Can I have some Kool-Aid?
Water...
no Kool-Aid.
Sharon...
why don't we step outside and...
leave these two alone for a minute. I'm sure they have a lot to talk about.
Can I ask you something?
Are you sure...
that man dying in there is really your husband?
Are you sure that's Jonathan?
If I were you...
I'd try putting a pair of your real husband's shoes on him...
and see if they fit.
And I'd tell your kids to quit crying because...
that man in there isn't their father. It's just some guy that looks like him.
A lot.
But it's not him. And...
whoever did this, Sharon, has done a really good job.
Almost perfect...
but not perfect enough. Their feet are different.
Their feet are bigger...
and softer for some reason.
And there's other things, too. Lots of things.
Sharon...
she asked me...
to fuck her in my uniform, then hit me...
hard with my club.
Can you believe that?
She left a mark.
We didn't, obviously. Fuck, I mean.
You know he's in there right now. With her.
And they're laughing at us, Sharon. That's a fact.
They're laughing at us. They're playing us for fools.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
I'd like to transfer...
the money I have in a joint account...
I share with my wife to a personal account, please.
Okay. Can I see some form of ID?
Here you are.
Thank you.
I see you're a police officer, huh?
- Yes, ma'am, I am. - Okay.
And did you want to transfer the entire balance?
The entire balance. Yes.
Aren't you going to eat something?
I'm not hungry.
Please, darling, eat.
I'm not hungry.
Would you like something else to eat?
I'm not hungry.
Hello? Yes?
Liz?
Liz, is that you?
Speak to me, please, Liz.
You took my phone, give it back.
Darling, don't start that again. Why would I take your phone?
Monty probably knocked it behind the couch or something.
It'll be here somewhere.
We can look for it when we're finished eating.
Liz!
Give it.
Listen, I have some news that'll cheer you up.
It'll bring your appetite back too.
Daniel, I'm pregnant.
I know it sounds impossible...
but the doctor said it's true.
She can't explain it. She said it might be psychological...
me never being pregnant.
Are you excited to find out if it's a boy or girl?
I know I am.
Isn't it wonderful?
I want you out of the house.
What did you say?
I want you out of my house.
- Why? - You know why.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
I know what's going on.
I know you're lying to me.
Leave...
and I promise no one will ever come looking for you.
But if you don't, I will have you arrested...
and you'll go to jail. Don't touch me.
Pack your things...
and get out. Without any fuss. Tonight.
I'm not leaving, Daniel.
This is my home.
Passenger, show me your hands.
Fuck it.
Turn off the vehicle, please, miss.
Shut up.
Sorry, Officer.
You ran a red light and you were speeding, miss.
- I'll need you to step out of your vehicle. - Yeah, you're right.
Shut up.
I didn't see the red light.
It's all right. Step out, please, miss.
Place your hands on the vehicle.
Spread your legs.
What's that in your pocket, miss?
It's my cell.
I want you to take it out slowly and place it on the vehicle.
Where did you get this phone? Who gave it to you?
- It's my phone. I bought it. - Don't lie to me.
- What? - Don't lie to me.
Do you know a woman named Liz?
- What? No. No, that's my phone. - This phone, miss.
- Who gave it to you? This is my phone. - What?
- This is my phone. - Are you out of your mind?
- That's my phone. - Put the phone down, man.
Quiet down, sir.
- You've got no right looking at her phone. - Passenger, remain in the vehicle.
You'll stop right there if you know what's good for you.
- Daniel, take it easy. - I said, put the fucking...
Daniel, what the fuck?
What the fuck!
Bravo Two to headquarters, shots fired. Subject down.
I'm sorry, it was an accident. Here, give me your hand.
Daniel, are you shitting me?
What the fuck are you doing?
I'm sorry.
Dr. Evans. Dr. Evans.
Hi, Neil.
Dr. Evans, how did it go?
He'll be on medication for a few months, but it's nothing serious.
At least it doesn't seem serious.
In the simplest possible terms...
I'd call it a mild form of persecutory delusion.
I can't say what caused it...
but I think he'll be fine.
He was perfectly cooperative.
It'll take some time, but he'll get over it in my opinion.
Can he carry on working?
It would be better if he took some time off from the force.
Better for him, and for everyone here.
And he's not a danger to himself?
Or to others?
No, he's just a little confused.
He poses no real danger to anyone.
So long as he keeps taking his medication, I think he'll be fine.
He really put the fear in me, Doctor.
It was like a madman.
I got scared.
I thought he was going to kill everyone out there. Me included.
There's nothing to worry about.
Daniel, are you going to eat?
Just answer me. Yes or no?
Why are you doing this to me?
You'll starve to death.
Is that what you want?
What else can I do?
I don't know what else to do.
Talk to me, please.
You have to eat something.
I'll make you whatever you'd like.
Just tell me what you want, and I'll make it.
Whatever you want.
Sweetheart, I don't know what to say.
I feel ashamed to call that monster your husband.
I always knew that there was...
something not quite right with him, but I always hoped that maybe...
Don't you dare speak about Daniel that way.
He's given me everything.
He loves me like no one else, and all you do is judge him.
Don't you dare speak badly about him to me ever again.
You hear me, Dad?
Apologize for what you said.
To me. Now.
Dad, last night I had a dream.
I was lying on that beach where they found me.
I don't remember what I was wearing...
but it was like I had been there for years.
And you were there.
Daniel was there. We all were.
Funny thing is, life in that place wasn't like it is here.
It took me a few days to realize, but that place went by different rules.
There, dogs were in charge.
People were animals and animals were people.
I must admit, Dad, the dogs treated us pretty well.
They gave us food...
and they bandaged our wounds after licking them...
and they never bit us...
even when we tried to hurt them.
And every morning they gave us chocolate to eat.
Because dogs mustn't eat chocolate, you know.
Lamb, which is my favorite food...
was a rare treat, and the dogs mostly kept that for themselves.
For the first few days, I refused to eat...
and I waited for leftover lamb chop, but someone else always got to it first so...
eventually, I just ate the chocolate because there was lots of it around.
And I didn't like it much...
but it was better than going hungry and so...
from then on, I ate chocolate every day.
And here's the conclusion I came to.
It's better to eat something...
that's always available when you're hungry...
than to depend on something that runs out early every morning.
And I mean every morning.
Daniel isn't perfect, but he's always been there for me.
Go up and see him now.
He'll be so happy to see you.
- I have things to do. I got to go. - Go up.
Just for a minute. Say hello.
Sorry, I got to go. Some other time.
Hi.
Oh, hi, my darling.
I just went to the store.
I got some wonderful tomatoes and some beef tenderloin.
I ran into Tammy and Kate.
Tammy said they're really missing you at work.
I'm hungry.
Yes, my love. What can I make for you?
Want the beef fillet I just bought, or some spaghetti?
There's some salmon in the freezer. Is it fish or meat you want?
Meat.
Wonderful.
Sweetheart.
I want you to chop one of your fingers off...
cook it with cauliflower, and bring it to me to eat.
Or your thumb maybe, whatever you think is best.
That's what I want. Can you do that for me?
- Hi, Daniel. - Hi, Doctor.
Come on in.
I think we're doing much better, Daniel.
I think the medication is starting to take effect.
How are you feeling?
I'm feeling better, Doctor.
That's great.
I just worry sometimes.
What about, Daniel?
I want to tell you something.
But first...
I want you to check no one is listening in. That...
she's not at the door or anywhere in the house.
No one's at the door, Daniel.
Liz is out.
What's troubling you?
That woman...
who says she's Liz...
chopped off her finger last night and served it to me...
to eat.
I didn't, of course, eat it.
The cat did.
And early this morning, I woke up and came downstairs...
to find her punching herself in the face and belly.
How have you been sleeping, Daniel?
Not well, Doctor.
I worry...
that she'll hurt me, too, at some point.
You got to get her out of here, I'm telling you.
All in good time, Daniel.
Just be patient, okay? Trust me.
Okay.
All right, Doctor.
Liz, have you heard of doctor-patient confidentiality?
Yes.
So you know that you can tell me anything, right?
Yes, I know.
Did someone hit you, Liz?
What happened to you?
I know you've just been through something terribly tragic.
And I am truly sorry about the miscarriage.
But you have to speak out, Liz.
If someone is responsible for all of this...
well, then you really should say so.
For your own sake.
He hit me.
Daniel did.
But it wasn't his fault.
I talked back.
And he's on these pills that make him aggressive from time to time.
He didn't do it on purpose.
He really was very happy when I told him I was pregnant.
And you know Daniel...
he would never hurt anyone.
Please don't tell anyone about this.
I've already put it behind me.
You should, too.
I'm sorry. I'm just so tired and...
after everything that's happened...
I just can't anymore. So thank you so much.
Have a nice day.
Liz...
Hi, Dad.
I'm just calling to say that I won't be able to make it today.
I need to go into the office, there's...
a meeting I can't miss.
Tell Uncle Stanley I'm so sad...
not to see him, and make sure to take lots of pictures, okay?
Oh, Dad, I forgot.
We're thinking of going away for a few days to get some rest.
I'm going to take some time off, and...
it'll do Daniel good too. Calm him down.
So don't come around for a few days, okay?
I'm not sure where we're going yet.
You know Daniel, he never can decide.
But it'll probably be somewhere remote...
with bad reception, so I'll let you know...
where we are when we get there.
Okay, bye.
It's good to see you're up and about, my love.
Yesterday, the doctor said we need to up your medication a little...
and get you outdoors from time to time.
We can go for a walk, if you like.
No, I don't feel like it.
Whatever you want.
I'm hungry.
I'll make you something.
I'll bring it to you. You go up.
I'm not just hungry.
I'm famished.
But don't go serving me any fingers today.
Your fingers are revolting.
In fact, I didn't even eat it. I fed it to Monty instead.
I need something filling.
Your entire leg, let's say.
Or...
your liver.
It's full of iron, liver.
Ultra-nutritious. That's what they say.
And that's what I need to eat today because I'm feeling weak.
Step on the scale, please.
Good.
Stand up straight.
Turn around.
Perfect.
Step off, please.
Very good.
You have 10 minutes this time.
- Fifteen. - Ten minutes.
Not a moment more. It's the best I can do.
- Ten minutes is fine. - Okay, follow me.
Wait here.
Do you have some preference, whether it's man or woman?
No.
This one got brought in today. Gunshot wound.
That'll do fine.
Anna, you can come in.
Harold, wait here, please.
Nine minutes, I'll be waiting outside.
He said 10 minutes.
Anna, this is it.
The moment of truth.
Isn't it wonderful?
As you heard yourself, there's not much time.
Can you imagine what the final test might be?
Great.
And do you think you can do it?
I think I can. Yes.
Actually, I'm sure I can, Ms. Emily.
I think so too, my dear, sweet Anna.
Go ahead.
What if you say the dead boy's name?
What's his name?
Martin Lowe.
Dear Martin Lowe...
take life from these hands.
Open your eyes.
I think he moved.
His leg, it moved.
I did it.
Can I try with some other corpse?
Focus, my dear.
Touch him, if you like.
That might help.
I don't want to touch him.
What is that supposed to mean?
I think I'm going to be sick. Is there...
any special cream I could put under my nose for the stench? The smell is awful.
No, there's no...
special cream.
Just try again. Just calm down and try again.
Can you not watch me?
If that's okay.
Dear Martin Lowe...
take life from these hands.
Open your eyes.
Anna, that's enough.
There's no point pressing on.
Andrew, let's go.
Thank you very much, Anna.
- Such a shame. - Ms. Emily, can I try with some other...?
- A woman maybe? - Hey, hey. Thank you very much, Anna.
Please, get up.
Sadly, no, it wasn't.
Right.
Yes, we're leaving the morgue now.
We thought we'd head back tomorrow, so we're not driving through the night.
Yes.
Yes, we think that's best, too.
Yes, she's right here beside me.
Yes, she's fine.
We're both fine.
We have water to last till tomorrow, it'll be enough.
It's around a half a gallon.
All right.
Thank you. Bye, Aka.
I know we're going to find her.
I'm kind of relieved that wasn't her.
I didn't like her face.
No humility.
I knew she wasn't the one we were looking for.
I just didn't want to tell you.
I mean it.
I had a dream last night.
I didn't want to tell you before, because I didn't want to upset you...
but I can tell you about it now.
I was in a big, beautiful rectangular pool.
The pool had a diving board.
Anyway, that's not important.
What's important is I was stuck at the bottom of the pool.
My hair was caught in the filtration pump...
and I couldn't reach the surface...
but for some reason I could hold my breath underwater indefinitely.
I was getting desperate.
Convinced I would die of hunger and thirst...
that no one would realize what had happened before it was too late.
When suddenly music started playing from the pool speakers.
A few seconds later, two figures launched themselves into the water.
It was two women.
Synchronized swimmers in spectacular swimsuits...
who had just started their routine.
They looked a lot alike.
They may well have been twins.
Although I couldn't really tell you for sure...
because it's one of those sports where everyone wears identical things and...
they have identical bodies, and so they always look like twins.
During one of their underwater tricks...
one of the two women spotted me.
To her credit...
she stopped the routine immediately, swam down to me...
drawing a knife from her swimsuit and cutting my hair, setting me free.
That's the woman, Andrew.
That's the woman we're looking for.
She didn't look anything like Anna...
so I knew she wasn't the one.
You want some water?
No, thank you.
I'm hungry.
Do you want to go out to eat, or do you want to get food here?
I'd rather not go out.
I'll call the diner downstairs.
I'll go pick it up.
Hello. I'd like to place an order for takeout, please.
What do you have available right now?
Burger.
Grilled cheese sandwich.
No. No fish. We don't eat fish.
And if you want my advice, you should never eat fish either. Not ever.
Burger for me.
Grilled cheese.
And a grilled cheese, please.
No, nothing to drink.
All right, I'll be there soon.
I'm going to take a shower.
Emily?
- Sorry, Andrew. - Where were you?
We said we'd leave early.
I got up early and I went for a drive to clear my head...
and then I lost track of time and I realized I was late...
so I came rushing back.
Emily, I've been waiting here for an hour now.
I call you, you don't answer.
- I was worried. - Well, I'm sorry, I didn't see my phone.
Did you check out already?
What about the invoice?
I got it.
Is there any water left? I'm really thirsty.
You know, if you want to go see your daughter and your husband...
then just go. I won't say anything to anyone, you know that.
I know, Andrew.
But I don't want to see them, and if I change my mind, I will let you know.
Let's make a move.
- Hey, buddy. - Hi, Andrew.
There you are.
Hi.
Are you hungry?
We already ate, Omi. Thank you.
Darling, look who's here.
- Get up and say hello. - Please.
He was afraid you wouldn't make it back before his bedtime.
You're late.
Oh, no, it's my fault. I overslept.
Jack, finish eating your fruit, and then you can show Emily your hedgehog.
This new candidate...
I'm excited about.
She's exactly what we're looking for.
Here's her details and some cash.
I booked you a room at the same motel you were at last night.
That's enough apple for you, Jack.
You don't want to overeat.
Show me your hedgehog.
Everything all right with Emily?
She's a good one, I think. Clever and keen.
I adore her.
Yes, Emily's all right.
A little strange sometimes, but okay.
I'm quite tired from the journey, but still really horny.
Do you want to have sex with me or Aka?
With you. It was perfect last time.
Unless you've got someone else scheduled for tonight.
It was good, wasn't it?
No.
There's no one else scheduled in.
We both left tonight open for you and Emily.
I think Andrew has fallen for Omi.
Really?
Last night when he was sleeping...
I think he was having a wet dream. It was actually really funny.
He kept saying the words...
"belly, together, Omi, feet."
Over and over again.
Well, today's his lucky day because I just got my period...
so he doesn't have a choice.
I was nine days late.
I thought I was pregnant. I even picked out names.
That's a shame.
How is everything going with the boat?
The boat's almost ready. Omi will show you tomorrow.
That's wonderful news.
Susan?
Susan.
What's happening?
It seems you fell asleep, my dear.
I'm sorry, Omi.
I was waiting for Aka, and she didn't come.
I fell asleep.
No matter.
Tomorrow morning, you'll be tested...
and if you're clean, you can sleep with either one of us.
You should go.
I swear I didn't have sex with anyone other than you two.
And whoever said that I did...
and I know who it was...
he's only saying that because he doesn't like me.
I believe you.
You should go.
Hello, Andrew. Emily.
Andrew, would you like to go first?
No, it's fine.
Oh, you're so beautiful, Emily.
So very beautiful.
Thank you.
You are too, Omi.
Omi was right. Susan is not contaminated.
This is the largest room on the boat.
It serves as a waiting area for those seeking her blessing.
It's wonderful.
Here's where we'll store her sculpted bust. It'll be displayed...
only for special occasions and for limited periods of time...
especially in the summer, for obvious reasons.
A young artist will carve her likeness out of ice, free of charge, of course.
This is her bedroom.
And those?
Those are guest rooms...
for when someone can't make it back to shore because of bad weather...
and they have to spend the night or...
when she wants someone or other to stay with her at some point.
This is the prayer room...
where she'll spend most of her time.
The boat is much bigger than I thought it would be. It's fantastic.
And the name is really wonderful.
Jack doesn't think so.
He says it doesn't remind him of water, he says it reminds him of Santa.
It's time for you to pack up some water and be on your way.
We'll be going soon.
That woman over there keeps staring at me.
Do you know her?
No.
Excuse me.
Can I have a moment of your time?
Sure.
My name is Rebecca King. I am 29 years old.
I majored in literature and now work in the...
human resources department of a multinational company.
But that's not important.
My sister Ruth, she's a veterinarian.
Her clinic is on Kenneth Avenue, Number 18.
My sister and I are twins.
I think my sister is the one that you are looking for.
There's no need to waste any more of your time.
I swear to you, it's her.
Ms. King, hi.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mark Ball.
This is my wife, Stephanie Ball.
We're here visiting her parents.
Her mother's not very well, you see.
And we are looking for something actually...
a nice, spacious, affordable apartment.
I can't quite understand what it is...
- you want from us. - Listen. Emily?
Here's Ruth's card.
On the back is my address and phone number.
If you met her, you'd know exactly what I'm talking about.
Thank you.
I think we should call Omi and Aka.
I don't think that's necessary. She's clearly insane.
How did she know my name?
Maybe she heard me calling out to you earlier. I don't know.
Andrew, that woman and her twin sister, obviously...
look a lot like the woman that I saw...
in that dream that I was telling you about.
Let me just remind you, Emily...
in case you forgot...
that the woman we're looking for...
her twin sister is supposed to be dead...
and Ms. Rebecca King was very much alive, speaking to us, no less...
right here in the flesh.
I don't know what you saw when you were asleep...
but I know what I just saw wide awake...
and it doesn't deserve any more of our attention.
Sweetie, go say hi to Mom.
Sorry, Joseph. I should've called sometime to explain.
It's fine.
Are you doing okay?
The little one's starting to look like you.
Around here.
Mom, look at my new shoes.
- Dad just got them for me. - Oh, they're really great.
I have to go now.
Stay a while.
We're going to make an omelet. You want to eat with us?
I have to go. I have an appointment. But some other time maybe.
Please don't go. I'm begging you.
Come by tonight.
You don't have to stay long. We can just have dinner together.
Come even for a bit.
An hour, that's all.
We really miss you.
I'll see.
We eat at 8:30.
Oh, that's a bit late.
Where are you staying?
I have to go.
Vanessa Weber.
She's 29 years old.
She's a waitress.
Twin sister...
died six years ago in a car accident.
They were not identical twins...
but I think that still fulfills the requirement.
Yes, that's not a problem.
Who do you think Jack's biological father is?
What are you talking about? Omi, of course.
I don't think so. They look nothing alike.
Maybe he's yours.
Will you cut the crap?
So, Vanessa...
lives with her father. He's 67 years old.
Can I ask what year you were born?
- 1955. - 1955.
And marital status?
Separated.
Any children?
I had two daughters.
Had?
They both died sadly.
Both of them?
One in an automobile accident a while back...
the other one three weeks ago.
Heart attack just out of the blue.
If you...
don't mind my asking one more question...
and you don't need to answer if you don't want to...
how old were they when they died?
One was 26.
The other one was 32.
They were twins.
Yes, we know.
We won't take up any more of your time. You stay strong, Mr. Weber.
Thank you for the tea, and for your cooperation.
They really were beautiful, Mr. Weber.
Tall, slim.
If you don't mind me asking, how tall were they?
About 5'9".
Such a shame.
And they look around 130 pounds, too?
Such a shame. Thank you very much, Mr. Weber, for your time.
You're welcome.
Thank you.
Do we head back today?
Let's leave tomorrow morning.
I mean, the room's already been paid for.
Unless you prefer to...
head back today for whatever reason?
No, tomorrow morning's fine.
Plus, I'm quite tired. I think I'm coming down with something.
I feel like a hot bath and an early night.
Yes, me too.
I think you have a fever.
I'll swing by the pharmacy to get a thermometer and some pills for you.
There's no need.
No, there is. We have to get your temperature down.
Cover up. I'll be back in five.
Emily.
You didn't come over last night.
I'm sorry.
I was working and we finished late.
What are you doing here?
I just came to get some painkillers.
The little one hurt her foot in ballet class.
Nothing serious, but she's in some pain.
What happened to her foot?
Is it broken? Is it swollen?
It's just a sprain.
We iced her right away.
She almost didn't cry.
You would've been so proud.
Come see her tonight, whenever you're done.
I'll try.
Let me see.
You really do have a fever.
101. But I'm sure you'll be better by tomorrow.
I spoke to Aka earlier.
They were worried, but I told them everything is going just fine.
Here, drink your water.
We don't want you catching pneumonia now, do we?
Emily, I think you're making too much of this.
Try to sleep a little.
You need your sleep.
I'll be going to bed soon, too.
Very tired today myself.
Sorry I'm late. I couldn't get here any earlier.
Did she go to bed already?
Yeah, a while ago.
She was really looking forward to seeing you.
Come in.
I can't stay long.
How's her foot?
It's fine.
Still hurts a little, I think, but she'll be all better soon enough.
You hungry?
No.
Would you like a drink?
A cocktail, maybe?
I came up with one myself.
I drink it every night before I go to bed.
Grand Marnier, whiskey, and two drops of Angostura.
It's like an Old Fashioned...
only it's not.
I call it Emily's Forehead.
Wait.
How's everything at the office?
Did you get that promotion?
Yeah.
A year ago.
Finally got it.
More money, same hours.
Slightly bigger office.
It's pretty good.
It's all good.
Hey, Em...
did you know...
your forehead goes perfectly with a little salmon?
Shall I bring you some?
I don't eat fish, Joseph.
Right.
So...
are you seeing someone...
is there someone else?
No, there's just me.
And you didn't say where you're staying.
I have to go.
I'm sorry, okay?
I won't ask any more questions...
just stay a while longer.
One more drink, hmm?
Something feels different with...
Was that picture there before?
I haven't touched a thing. Everything's just as you left it.
Get in.
Emily...
I want you to know that there's a chance those...
contaminating fluids will be expelled with your sweat.
It's been known to happen.
I'm hopeful.
I need you to be hopeful, too.
We'll raise the temperature as high as it will go.
We'll give it our best shot.
How unfortunate.
Still contaminated.
It's such a shame, all this.
You shouldn't have let him defile you, Emily.
Here's something from both of us to tide you over...
until you...
decide what to do.
We're going to miss you.
I'm sorry.
There's no need to apologize to us.
The only person you've hurt is yourself. You're the one that's contaminated.
I disappointed you.
And I don't know how it happened or why.
Emily...
maybe all this happened for a reason. Maybe it's for the best.
Not everyone's cut out for everything.
Maybe you came into this world to raise a daughter...
- and live in a house with a husband. - No.
- It's fine. It's no bad thing. It's fine. - No.
I'm very thirsty. Can I have some water, please?
Take care, Emily.
Be well.
We'll miss you very, very much.
No. No, no.
I have an idea.
If I sweat some more...
then my body will cleanse itself and I won't be contaminated anymore.
I'm already sweating.
Aka!
Come lick me!
Omi, I'm not contaminated anymore! I'm not kidding! Honest!
When we were younger...
I was more headstrong, more mischievous...
and Ruth was more quiet and conscientious.
One night when we were both at home alone...
our parents had left town for three days...
I had this idea to have a couple of girlfriends over.
Once we drank almost every drop of alcohol in the house...
I convinced them to go skinny-dipping with me.
Ruth was the only one that hadn't had anything to drink.
She said that the pool had been drained and that it was cold out.
But I pushed her aside...
took off all my clothes...
ran to the edge of the empty pool and dove in.
My head hit the bottom of the pool hard.
All I remember is the screams of the others...
and my blood going down into the drain before losing consciousness.
When I came to, I found myself inside the house.
Ruth was sitting beside me.
I got up.
My back hurt a little.
I went to the bathroom.
I was thirsty.
When I looked at my face in the mirror, I saw that...
there wasn't even a scratch.
And then a few seconds later, I heard Ruth's voice, she said...
"You were very lucky. You could have died."
And after that...
"We need to get the house cleaned up because Mom and Dad will be home soon."
Of course...
we never told them anything about it when they got back...
and we didn't speak of what happened that night ever again.
Can I get you another drink?
No, I'm fine, thanks.
You have to go see her, Emily.
Let's say everything you're telling me is the truth.
There's still one major problem.
I know. I know.
If all the conditions are to be met, then I ought to be dead.
That's what you mean, right?
That's what I'm telling you.
I really ought to be dead.
Hey!
Come here. Stay. Stay.
Come here.
Come on.
Hi. What happened?
We were out for a walk and...
two strays attacked her.
She didn't even have time to react.
Come on back.
How old is she?
Five.
She looks older than five.
I mean six.
Sorry, I'm really shaken up.
And what's her name?
Linda.
Who's a brave girl, Linda?
Who's a brave girl?
This dog is like my family.
She's all I have.
I'm not sure if you can relate.
If you don't mind my asking, are you married? Do you have children?
No.
No children.
Her wound goes deep.
Those dogs that attacked her must have been vicious.
They really were.
Is she on any medication? Does she have any other health issues?
No.
So this is what you use to weigh the animals?
Yes.
Twice daily with food, and this is for the pain.
I don't know how to thank you.
I just hope everything turns out okay.
Go.
What are you doing here?
Have you been following me?
Have you completely lost your mind?
Emily, I'm sorry about what happened the other night.
Please, Joseph, just leave. I never want to see you.
I came here to apologize.
We both had a lot to drink.
I really missed you.
Please, just...
just come say hi to the little one.
You brought the little one?
Okay, fine.
Let's go.
Hi, darling.
Hi, I'm so happy to see you.
I have some wonderful news.
Do you remember the woman that I was looking for?
I found her.
Mommy found her.
How's your foot?
My foot?
It's fine.
That's good to hear.
Now, do you know how much of your body is actually water?
Around 70% water.
Isn't that amazing?
And what about a potato?
76%.
And a bell pepper is 93.4% water.
And what about a man's sperm?
Why don't I just tell you?
It's around 90% water.
And that's why...
as your mother...
I'd like to give you a piece of advice.
And I want you to promise me that you'll follow it.
I want you to stay as far away from Daddy as possible.
He's contaminated, sadly.
His sweat, his sperm...
his genitals...
all the water that's inside of him is contaminated.
And I don't want him contaminating you, too.
Hello?
Emily?
- Yes? - Hello.
I heard you met Ruth. I'm so glad.
Listen, Emily, I'm calling because I wanted to give you some really good news.
Remember that problem of ours?
It's all been sorted out.
Emily, are you still there?
Yes.
How has it been sorted out exactly?
Emily, welcome.
Did you find it okay? I hope it wasn't any trouble.
No trouble.
Come in.
Would you like some tea?
No, thank you.
I'm all ears, Rebecca.
Just two more minutes and you'll know exactly how it's all been sorted out.
At least try one of the cookies. They're still warm.
Hi. Remember me?
I came to you the other day...
- with an injured dog. Her name was Mary. - Of course, I remember you.
I thought it was Linda.
I call her Mary.
My husband calls her Linda.
I'm sorry to show up unannounced. I'm just leaving town shortly...
and I wanted to give you a gift...
before I go just to thank you for everything you did for Mary.
She's fine now.
I'm so glad. Thank you.
You really shouldn't have.
Would you like to come in?
I don't know if you wear scarves...
but I picked this one out because it's silk...
and it has various animals on it...
you know, like your profession.
I love scarves.
Thank you so much.
I'm going to get that coffee. It must be ready by now.
Oh, thank you so much.
Will you do me a favor? Will you just try this scarf on?
It took me ages to pick it out. There were actually four that I liked...
and I'm just curious to see if I made the right choice.
Wow.
It's beautiful. I love it.
I don't think it really goes with what I'm wearing today though.
Oh, I think it goes perfectly.
Do you mind if I just...?
Just to see how it looks on you.
Okay.
What the heck was that?
There he is.
Ruth, wake up.
Wake up.
Ruth.
Put your hand on him.
Touch him.
Say, "Take life from my hands, and open your eyes."
Say it, Ruth. Ruth, wake up.
Wake up. Please wake up.
Ruth.
Put your hand on him.
Touch him.
What is his name?
I told you his name. Touch him.
Say it.
Say his fucking name, Ruth!
Say it.
Hang in there, Ruth.
We'll be there in two hours, max.
The boat is so beautiful, you have no idea.
You need water?
You must be so thirsty. I have water with me. Hang on.
Ruth?
- Thank you. Thank you. - You're welcome.
