00:00Wow, something smells incredible in here.
00:04And looks amazing, too.
00:05Yeah, well, I just wanted to make something special for you.
00:09You're the best.
00:10Let me just hit the bathroom real quick before we eat.
00:13Wash up.
00:13All right.
00:21Dylan?
00:23Yeah, thank god you picked up.
00:25No, he doesn't suspect anything.
00:26He's so wrapped in his work routine,
00:29he rarely notices anything.
00:32Did you know he spent 20 minutes this morning just
00:35explaining these fresh cheese formulas to me?
00:37Yeah, fresh cheese formulas, Dylan.
00:40God, I'm so tired just pretending everything is normal when
00:43all I want is to be with you.
00:47You know, I keep thinking about last Tuesday
00:49when we met at the park.
00:52This two hours felt more real than the entire three years
00:55with him.
00:58You know, I hate that I have to sneak around like this.
01:01I hate that I just can't be with you.
01:05Yeah, I know, but you know I can't leave yet.
01:08Not until I figure out how to do this without ending up in nothing.
01:12Oh, OK, he's coming back.
01:14I have to go.
01:14I'll call you.
01:15OK?
01:16Yeah.
01:17Love you.
01:18OK, bye.
01:23Ready for dinner?
01:24Absolutely.
01:26OK.
01:29This was incredible, Jess.
01:33You really, really outdid yourself today.
01:37You won't believe what happened with the new client account today.
01:40So remember how I told you about the mess that Thompson dumped on me?
01:42Well, I think I finally figured out how to fix it.
01:45So they had their book so screwed up, Jessica.
01:48Screwed up.
01:49The numbers didn't add up.
01:50The receipts were missing.
01:52Transactions made no sense.
01:54But I stayed late every night this week.
01:56Going through everything.
01:57Line by line.
01:58Right?
01:59Mm-hmm.
02:00Yeah, that sounds complicated.
02:03Yeah, yeah.
02:03It was.
02:04It was.
02:04But that's what I love about the job.
02:06See, it's like solving a puzzle.
02:08And every piece has to fit it perfectly, or the whole thing just
02:12falls apart, right?
02:13And if I clean this up, Thompson said there's a real possibility
02:16of a promotion.
02:17Can you believe that?
02:19That's only three years with the firm.
02:20Me.
02:21Promotion.
02:23Yeah, that's wonderful, honey.
02:25Jessica, this could mean a 40, 40% salary raise.
02:3140%.
02:32We could finally take the trip to Italy you've been wanting.
02:34We could renovate the kitchen.
02:36Hell, we could buy a whole bigger house if you wanted to.
02:38This could change everything for us, Jess.
02:41I know I've been working long hours,
02:42but it's all been leading to this moment.
02:45All the sacrifice, all the late nights, all the headache
02:48is finally paying off.
02:53Man, who could be texting you so much?
02:56Oh, it's just Claire.
02:58She's going through a tough time, and she needs someone
03:02to talk to.
03:03Claire?
03:04Yeah, I don't think I heard you mention Claire before.
03:07Yeah, she's a new friend from Joker class.
03:10You remember, right?
03:11She's having some personal issues.
03:14Oh, I'm sorry.
03:15I should probably take this stuff.
03:16She sounded really upset in her texts.
03:18Of course.
03:20Claire?
03:21Claire?
03:21Claire, what's wrong?
03:24Oh, yeah.
03:27Yeah.
03:29I'm sorry, baby.
03:30I had to make something up.
03:32Richard was getting suspicious about all the texting.
03:34You have to dial it down.
03:37It's so hard at sitting down and pretending to care about his boring job stories and acting
03:44excited about his stupid promotion.
03:46He spent ten minutes explaining how he reorganized some client's filing system.
03:51I wanted to scream.
03:56I feel like I'm living a lie every single day.
04:00I wake up next to him and have to pretend that I'm happy.
04:05I make his coffee.
04:06I make his coffee the way he likes and listen to him talk about his day.
04:10All I can think about is how much I want to be somewhere else with you.
04:18You know, I can't just leave him yet, Dylan.
04:21I have nowhere to go and no money of my own.
04:25Oh, okay.
04:26Yeah, he's coming up.
04:26I need to spend time with him so he won't be suspicious.
04:30I'll call you later.
04:31Okay?
04:31Love you.
04:32Yeah.
04:32Yeah.
04:36Yeah.
04:36Hey, man.
04:37How's Claire?
04:38Uh, just relationship drama.
04:41You know how it is.
04:42You want to sit down?
04:45How's the food?
04:46Sure.
04:47It's fine.
04:49That was an interesting conversation.
04:54I like this part.
05:00Hey, isn't this nice?
05:01We should do this more often.
05:03Like we used to.
05:04Just the two of us.
05:06Relaxing together.
05:07No work.
05:07No distractions.
05:10Like, every weekend when we were dating, we'd rent movies and order pizza and just talk
05:16for hours.
05:17Mm-hmm.
05:18Yeah.
05:19I miss that sometimes.
05:21Just talking to you.
05:23Feels like we're both so busy these days.
05:25We barely get to connect anymore.
05:27Yeah.
05:28Yeah.
05:28We should definitely do this more.
05:32Is that Claire again?
05:34Oh, yeah.
05:34She's having like a really bad time.
05:37She needs constant support through her divorce.
05:41Yeah, I feel it.
05:42Maybe I should meet her sometime.
05:44You know, she's such a close friend to you.
05:45You guys have been talking a lot.
05:46Maybe I feel like I should get to know her.
05:49Oh, I don't think that's a good idea.
05:51She's like very private about her situation.
05:54And she doesn't want to meet anyone new right now.
05:57So, I like to respect her privacy.
05:59Yeah, I get that.
06:00But I mean eventually.
06:01Not now.
06:02Just when she's feeling better.
06:03Maybe we all have dinner or something.
06:05Yeah.
06:05Yeah.
06:06Maybe eventually.
06:07What's her husband like?
06:09Like what kind of problems is she having at home?
06:12He's controlling, emotionally distant.
06:16She feels trapped.
06:17Yeah.
06:18Says he never listens to her anymore.
06:22And never shows any interest on her feelings or like her thoughts.
06:26It's crazy.
06:28That's terrible.
06:30You know, marriage shouldn't be like that.
06:32Nope, it shouldn't.
06:34You know, it's funny though.
06:36In all of our years of marriage, I've never met Claire.
06:39And I don't think you've ever mentioned her before tonight.
06:43Well, I told you she's a newer friend from yoga class.
06:47We've only been close for a few months.
06:50Yeah, you said that.
06:51You said that.
06:51That's interesting.
06:53What do you mean interesting?
06:55Well, you've been going to yoga for like two years, right?
06:58And you never mentioned making close friends at all there before.
07:02And then Claire seems like she needs your attention really specifically during evenings
07:07when we're supposed to spend our time together.
07:10Are you seriously going to be jealous of a friend who's going through a crisis?
07:15I'm not jealous.
07:16I'm making an observation.
07:19Okay.
07:19People going through crisis need constant support outside of business hours, Richard.
07:26Claire needs me.
07:27And I'll be there for her regardless of how you feel about it.
07:31And you know what?
07:32Some people actually value loyalty and friendship.
07:37Some people understand that being there for someone in their darkest moment is more important than watching a movie.
07:45Okay.
07:49You this will be more comfortable with your heart.
08:13Claire needs assistance.
08:13So my
08:32How long has this been going on?
08:47All this time I've been working my behind on, trying to build a better life for us, and she's just
08:55been all right.
09:00Let's see how this place is out there now.
09:05I can't wait to leave him.
09:07It's so boring.
09:08Money is the only thing to keep me here.
09:16Financial security, huh?
09:19That's all I am to you.
09:24Meet me here.
09:26Right now.
09:28My husband left for an emergency web trip.
09:33I won't be back until tomorrow.
09:37Bring the line.
09:43Let me delete that, actually.
09:45Perfect.
10:01Come in.
10:06Look what I-
10:11Oh, well.
10:12You must be Dylan.
10:16You know what, I think I might have the wrong house.
10:18Nah, you're definitely in the right place.
10:20You're here to see my wife, since she texted you to come over, right?
10:24Dylan, what are you doing here?
10:26You texted me that your husband was out of town.
10:30I didn't send any texts.
10:32Actually, I sent any text messages.
10:35See why you were sleeping peacefully on the couch.
10:38Which is funny how that works.
10:41You know what, please.
10:42Just, come on.
10:43Let's not let the wine go to waste.
10:44Uh, Richard, please.
10:47I can explain.
10:48I read months of texts.
10:49Okay?
10:50Between you and Dylan.
10:51Including your admission that you're only staying married for the financial security.
10:55Look, bro.
10:55I didn't want things to happen this way, you know.
10:57I was gonna-
10:58No, you've been sneaking around letting me pay for Jessica's lifestyle while you enjoy the benefits, right?
11:03Planning her exit strategy to take half of everything I worked for while running off with her little boyfriend.
11:09I love you, Dylan.
11:10As soon as I figure out how to make things work financially, I'll leave him.
11:14Those are your words, Jessica.
11:16Richard, you don't understand.
11:17I remember one more.
11:18It was, uh, how to go-
11:19I hate that I have to sneak around like this.
11:23I hate that I can't just be with you openly, Dylan.
11:28Well, now you can be with him openly.
11:30Both of you.
11:32Get out of my house.
11:33Now.
11:34What?
11:35Where am I supposed to go?
11:37This is my home, too.
11:38You forfeited that right when you decided to betray our marriage.
11:41When you decided I was a paycheck keeping you comfortable while you planned your escape.
11:46Let's go.
