She needs a little help.

Before we continue,
I would ask

177
00:09:44,208 --> 00:09:46,832
that you sign
the non-disclosure agreement.

00:10:01,166 --> 00:10:02,333
Thank you.

182
00:10:04,208 --> 00:10:06,958
Thank you, thank you.
[clears throat]

183
00:10:09,500 --> 00:10:12,499
Verity Crawford is her name.

184
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:15,582
I'm sure you're familiar
with her work.

185
00:10:15,583 --> 00:10:18,749
Verity has
a wildly successful series,

186
00:10:18,750 --> 00:10:20,040
<i>The Noble Virtues,</i>

187
00:10:20,041 --> 00:10:22,749
which we would hate
to see go unfinished.

188
00:10:22,750 --> 00:10:24,665
So we need a writer
who's able to step in

189
00:10:24,666 --> 00:10:26,457
on an accelerated timeline.

190
00:10:26,458 --> 00:10:27,790
[Corey] So when
will you need it by?

191
00:10:27,791 --> 00:10:29,249
[mouthing] Your wife?

192
00:10:29,250 --> 00:10:30,707
[Amanda] We're already behind,
so we're looking to have

193
00:10:30,708 --> 00:10:32,582
the next book in the series
within six months,

194
00:10:32,583 --> 00:10:35,582
and the final two
in the next 24 months.

195
00:10:35,583 --> 00:10:37,540
Three books.

196
00:10:37,541 --> 00:10:39,916
$75,000 per book.

197
00:10:42,750 --> 00:10:45,541
So how does this sound, Lowen?

198
00:10:46,958 --> 00:10:49,250
[sighs] Um...

199
00:10:52,291 --> 00:10:55,624
I appreciate the offer.

200
00:10:55,625 --> 00:10:58,624
I don't know that I can write
for another author.

201
00:10:58,625 --> 00:11:00,707
[hesitating] I'm...

202
00:11:00,708 --> 00:11:03,791
Especially someone as popular
as Verity Crawford...

203
00:11:04,541 --> 00:11:08,124
Her fans know her voice.

204
00:11:08,125 --> 00:11:10,125
They would know it's not her.
[chuckles]

205
00:11:11,833 --> 00:11:13,499
I'm sorry.

206
00:11:13,500 --> 00:11:15,124
[Corey] Let me
talk to my client.

207
00:11:15,125 --> 00:11:16,832
All right?

208
00:11:16,833 --> 00:11:18,957
[Amanda] We'll step out.

209
00:11:18,958 --> 00:11:20,207
We have
two other writers in mind.

210
00:11:20,208 --> 00:11:21,665
So if you could
let us know something

211
00:11:21,666 --> 00:11:23,332
by tomorrow afternoon?

212
00:11:23,333 --> 00:11:25,249
We'll discuss. All right?

213
00:11:25,250 --> 00:11:26,791
Thank you.

214
00:11:34,416 --> 00:11:36,500
Could we possibly
have a word in private?

215
00:11:39,625 --> 00:11:40,833
[softly] What the fuck?

216
00:11:41,958 --> 00:11:43,457
[mumbles] Fine.

217
00:11:43,458 --> 00:11:45,874
Sure.

218
00:11:45,875 --> 00:11:47,291
[Corey] You got it.
[clears throat]

219
00:11:52,083 --> 00:11:54,124
Are you okay?

220
00:11:54,125 --> 00:11:56,458
Twenty minutes ago,
you watched someone die.

221
00:11:58,125 --> 00:11:59,707
So did you.

222
00:11:59,708 --> 00:12:01,249
Like I said...

223
00:12:01,250 --> 00:12:02,750
I've seen worse.

224
00:12:05,375 --> 00:12:07,249
You must have questions.

225
00:12:07,250 --> 00:12:08,500
Sure do.

226
00:12:08,875 --> 00:12:09,999
Shoot.

227
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,749
Okay, well, for starters,

228
00:12:11,750 --> 00:12:13,457
did you go shopping

229
00:12:13,458 --> 00:12:16,875
or do you carry around
spare shirts in your pocket?

230
00:12:20,250 --> 00:12:22,457
My hotel's
just around the corner.

231
00:12:22,458 --> 00:12:25,040
I went back and got changed.

232
00:12:25,041 --> 00:12:27,583
Why can't your wife
finish the series?

233
00:12:29,833 --> 00:12:31,958
Verity had a car accident.

234
00:12:34,458 --> 00:12:36,458
[sighs] I'm sorry.

235
00:12:39,291 --> 00:12:40,916
<i>Open Ended.</i>

236
00:12:42,958 --> 00:12:45,583
It was one of Verity's
favorite books last year.

237
00:12:48,041 --> 00:12:49,457
She read one of my books?

238
00:12:49,458 --> 00:12:50,666
Yeah.

239
00:12:54,250 --> 00:12:57,624
She said
that you are a brilliant,

240
00:12:57,625 --> 00:13:00,332
undiscovered voice.

241
00:13:00,333 --> 00:13:02,374
[hesitating]
Well, I'm not undiscovered.

242
00:13:02,375 --> 00:13:03,915
I am published.

243
00:13:03,916 --> 00:13:06,415
Just not in a big way.

244
00:13:06,416 --> 00:13:09,207
If anyone was to take over
her series,

245
00:13:09,208 --> 00:13:12,832
I wanted it to be someone
whose work she respected.

246
00:13:12,833 --> 00:13:15,665
You would have to spend
some time at the house.

247
00:13:15,666 --> 00:13:16,832
In her office.

248
00:13:16,833 --> 00:13:20,374
She has years of notes
and outlines,

249
00:13:20,375 --> 00:13:22,708
stuff I wouldn't know
how to make sense of.

250
00:13:23,666 --> 00:13:27,040
Also, they're lowballing you.

251
00:13:27,041 --> 00:13:30,541
You should ask your agent
to ask for half a million.

252
00:13:33,208 --> 00:13:34,707
We live in Vermont.

253
00:13:34,708 --> 00:13:37,166
You can stay
for as long as you need to.

254
00:13:38,041 --> 00:13:39,207
I hope you change your mind.

255
00:13:39,208 --> 00:13:40,957
Wait.

256
00:13:40,958 --> 00:13:44,541
Did you know
who I was earlier?

257
00:13:46,333 --> 00:13:49,207
Not until you said your name.

258
00:13:49,208 --> 00:13:51,291
There aren't that many
Lowens running around.

259
00:13:53,541 --> 00:13:55,791
If you do come,
bring my shirt back.

Well, maybe with the money
you'll get from this deal,

you'll finally get a cover
for that futon.

Excuse me,
that is not a futon.

286

I don't read books that you
can buy in an airport.

to resent her.

533
00:33:47,125 --> 00:33:48,290
[Jeremy] It's on a timer.

534
00:33:48,291 --> 00:33:49,957
It just takes the weight off

535
00:33:49,958 --> 00:33:51,541
- her pressure points.
- [machinery whirring]

536
00:33:53,083 --> 00:33:54,665
It's really late.

537
00:33:54,666 --> 00:33:55,875
Are you hungry?

538
00:33:58,041 --> 00:34:00,665
Anna usually does meal prep,

539
00:34:00,666 --> 00:34:03,624
but I am a genius
when it comes to putting...

540
00:34:03,625 --> 00:34:05,582
a slice of pizza
in the microwave, so...

541
00:34:05,583 --> 00:34:07,540
- Wow.
- [Jeremy chuckles]

542
00:34:07,541 --> 00:34:08,916
- [Lowen] Thank you.
- Enjoy.

543
00:34:10,291 --> 00:34:12,125
How's the excavation goin'?

544
00:34:13,083 --> 00:34:15,040
You were right. It is a lot.

545
00:34:15,041 --> 00:34:16,290
[Jeremy] Yeah.

546
00:34:16,291 --> 00:34:19,082
She was constantly
taking notes.

547
00:34:19,083 --> 00:34:22,083
There was this one time
that we were at the zoo...

548
00:34:23,958 --> 00:34:25,374
and she didn't have
anything to write on

549
00:34:25,375 --> 00:34:26,707
so she took a Sharpie

550
00:34:26,708 --> 00:34:30,166
and she wrote character names
on Crew's diaper.

551
00:34:31,375 --> 00:34:33,124
[Lowen chuckles]

552
00:34:33,125 --> 00:34:35,375
How did you and Verity meet?

553
00:34:36,541 --> 00:34:39,290
[Jeremy] We met at a party,

554
00:34:39,291 --> 00:34:40,540
and she was wearing
pretty much

555
00:34:40,541 --> 00:34:42,666
the most amazing dress
I'd ever seen.

556
00:34:44,291 --> 00:34:45,833
So we left
the party together,

557
00:34:46,708 --> 00:34:48,374
and when we got outside,

558
00:34:48,375 --> 00:34:50,915
there was a limo,
and I opened the door to it

559
00:34:50,916 --> 00:34:53,040
and she got in,

560
00:34:53,041 --> 00:34:54,290
and then
the driver came back

561
00:34:54,291 --> 00:34:56,375
and I had to admit
the limo wasn't mine.

562
00:35:16,750 --> 00:35:17,874
[Verity] <i>"One night,</i>

563

570
00:35:37,541 --> 00:35:39,166

I read your manuscript.

599

No.

Jeremy, no.

I told you not...
You said... You promised.

It's good.

and then she just
suddenly turned

643

and looked directly at me.

644

she can't move or talk?

00:54:34,416 --> 00:54:36,833
Verity could make
a full recovery?

885
00:54:37,833 --> 00:54:38,833
Um...

886
00:54:41,416 --> 00:54:42,874
No.

887
00:54:42,875 --> 00:54:47,041
The doctors don't think she'll
ever walk or talk again.

888
00:54:47,833 --> 00:54:51,665
So she's paralyzed?

889
00:54:51,666 --> 00:54:53,832
There wasn't any damage
to her spinal cord,

890
00:54:53,833 --> 00:54:55,916
but her mind is...

891
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,290
[sighs and hesitates]

892
00:54:59,291 --> 00:55:00,749
She has basic reflexes.

893
00:55:00,750 --> 00:55:02,166
She can eat...

894
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,000
and drink and blink...

895
00:55:05,916 --> 00:55:07,208
and move a little.

896
00:55:08,541 --> 00:55:10,541
But none of it's intentional.

897
00:55:13,291 --> 00:55:17,082
We hope that,
with continued therapy,

898
00:55:17,083 --> 00:55:19,708
she'll be able to improve
a little bit more.

899
00:55:21,041 --> 00:55:22,583
But who knows?

900
00:55:27,416 --> 00:55:28,916
[Crew] Daddy?

901
00:55:30,208 --> 00:55:32,832
[clears throat]
Hey, buddy. What's up?

902
00:55:32,833 --> 00:55:34,833
- Ready for bed.
- Okay, yeah.

903
00:55:36,083 --> 00:55:37,249
Did you brush your teeth?

904
00:55:37,250 --> 00:55:39,458
- Yep.
- Okay, good. Let me smell.

905
00:55:40,625 --> 00:55:42,707
Ah! Let's go say
good night to Mommy.

906
00:55:42,708 --> 00:55:44,332
Good night, Lowen.

907
00:55:44,333 --> 00:55:45,375
[Lowen] Good night.

908
00:56:10,916 --> 00:56:13,958
[Jeremy sighs] That's Harper.

909
00:56:16,666 --> 00:56:18,000
What was she like?

910
00:56:18,750 --> 00:56:21,249
[sighs] She was...

911
00:56:21,250 --> 00:56:22,833
She was amazing.

912
00:56:25,250 --> 00:56:27,250
Not sure Verity understood her
the way I did.

913
00:56:31,208 --> 00:56:34,249
She had trouble
expressing her emotions,

914
00:56:34,250 --> 00:56:35,665
but I felt like
I could just read

915
00:56:35,666 --> 00:56:37,832
what she needed, you know?

916
00:56:37,833 --> 00:56:39,500
I knew what made her tick.

917
00:56:40,708 --> 00:56:43,415
What made her happy,
what made her sad...

918
00:56:43,416 --> 00:56:45,582
even when she had
a tough time

919
00:56:45,583 --> 00:56:47,499
revealing all of that
to the world.

920
00:56:47,500 --> 00:56:50,040
[chuckles softly]
But she was...

921
00:56:50,041 --> 00:56:51,291
amazing.

922
00:56:53,208 --> 00:56:54,666
[sighs]

923
00:56:57,250 --> 00:56:59,708
Were they close,
Harper and Crew?

924
00:57:00,500 --> 00:57:01,583
Yeah.

925
00:57:02,166 --> 00:57:03,416
They were.

926
00:57:04,916 --> 00:57:05,916
[sighs]

927
00:57:08,833 --> 00:57:10,874
He...

928
00:57:10,875 --> 00:57:12,708
hasn't even asked about her.

929
00:57:14,958 --> 00:57:15,958
Not once.

930
00:57:17,958 --> 00:57:20,540
Hasn't even
mentioned her name.

931
00:57:20,541 --> 00:57:24,415
I took him to therapy for
a couple of months, and, uh,

932
00:57:24,416 --> 00:57:25,582
I was just afraid that maybe

933
00:57:25,583 --> 00:57:28,540
it was a weekly reminder
of everything.

934
00:57:28,541 --> 00:57:30,915
[sighs deeply]

935
00:57:30,916 --> 00:57:32,665
So I pulled him out.

936
00:57:32,666 --> 00:57:34,166
But I'll bring him back...

937
00:57:35,625 --> 00:57:38,207
if he shows any signs
of needing it

938
00:57:38,208 --> 00:57:40,291
and make sure he's okay.

939
00:57:46,875 --> 00:57:48,166
And you?

940
00:57:50,125 --> 00:57:51,791
What about me?

941
00:57:53,875 --> 00:57:55,208
How are you?

942
00:57:58,875 --> 00:58:00,458
I'm fine.

943
00:58:04,458 --> 00:58:05,458
[sobs softly]

944
00:58:25,416 --> 00:58:26,416
[Crew] Dad?

945
00:58:28,291 --> 00:58:30,082
[choked up] Yeah, buddy.

946
00:58:30,083 --> 00:58:31,833
[Crew] I can't sleep.

947
00:58:35,250 --> 00:58:37,208
Okay, I'm coming.
[breath trembling]

948
00:59:59,625 --> 01:00:00,625
[door creaks]

949
01:00:06,166 --> 01:00:08,166
[suspenseful music playing]

950
01:00:10,708 --> 01:00:12,708
[indistinct chatter over TV]

951
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:10,249
- [flesh crunches]
- [gasps]

952
01:01:10,250 --> 01:01:11,625
[pants]

953
01:01:13,958 --> 01:01:15,791
[screams]

954
01:01:17,125 --> 01:01:19,125
[clock ticking]

955
01:01:29,333 --> 01:01:31,791
- [calm music playing]
- [birds chirping]

956
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:44,000
[plastic clacking]

957
01:01:44,750 --> 01:01:45,750
[pot clatters]

958
01:01:48,916 --> 01:01:50,916
[plastic clacking]

959
01:02:01,791 --> 01:02:03,750
Time for some applesauce.

960
01:02:07,458 --> 01:02:08,958
Okay.

961
01:02:14,583 --> 01:02:15,749
[Amanda] <i>Hi, Lowen.</i>

962
01:02:15,750 --> 01:02:17,415
<i>So, where are you
in your process?</i>

963
01:02:17,416 --> 01:02:18,832
<i>Our Marketing and PR team</i>

964
01:02:18,833 --> 01:02:20,290
<i>are eager to get
an announcement out...</i>

965
01:02:20,291 --> 01:02:23,165
<i>That is all pending
our approval, right?</i>

966
01:02:23,166 --> 01:02:24,415
<i>- Yes, of course.
- Okay.</i>

967
01:02:24,416 --> 01:02:26,374
<i>But we do need some lead time.
That's all.</i>

968
01:02:26,375 --> 01:02:28,707
[Corey] <i>Well, Lowen
is a very fast writer.</i>

969
01:02:28,708 --> 01:02:30,124
<i>Right, Low?</i>

970
01:02:30,125 --> 01:02:33,291
[Lowen] <i>Yes. Yeah.
You'll have what you need.</i>

971
01:02:53,500 --> 01:02:54,875
[incomprehensible]

972
01:03:07,125 --> 01:03:10,374
[Lowen] I've pretty much made
it through all the notes,

973
01:03:10,375 --> 01:03:14,000
so I'll probably
start writing soon.

974
01:03:17,291 --> 01:03:20,250
I think I'll leave
in the next day or two.

975
01:03:22,083 --> 01:03:23,250
Yeah?

976
01:03:24,750 --> 01:03:26,540
Yeah.

977
01:03:26,541 --> 01:03:28,958
Thank you for letting me stay.

978
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:33,166
Yeah, I wish it could have
been a little longer.

979
01:03:34,666 --> 01:03:37,500
I feel like I barely
got to know you.

980
01:03:38,875 --> 01:03:41,000
[Lowen] What do you
wanna know?

981
01:03:42,500 --> 01:03:43,999
What's your birthday?

982
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:46,250
[chuckles] God.

983
01:03:47,125 --> 01:03:48,875
What? What's so funny?

984
01:03:49,958 --> 01:03:53,541
My birthday was yesterday.

985
01:03:54,666 --> 01:03:55,790
Shut up.

986
01:03:55,791 --> 01:03:57,541
- [Lowen chuckles]
- [Jeremy] Seriously?

987
01:03:58,541 --> 01:04:00,249
You're lying.

988
01:04:00,250 --> 01:04:02,207
I'm not lying.

989
01:04:02,208 --> 01:04:04,457
We have to celebrate, obviously.

990
01:04:04,458 --> 01:04:06,375
- [Lowen] No.
- Yeah.

991
01:04:08,166 --> 01:04:09,915
There's one good restaurant
in town.

992
01:04:09,916 --> 01:04:14,833
It's the best Bavarian
restaurant in rural Vermont.

993
01:04:15,541 --> 01:04:16,957
Hands down.

994
01:04:16,958 --> 01:04:18,915
It has amazing
Wiener schnitzel.

995
01:04:18,916 --> 01:04:20,457
Wow.

996
01:04:20,458 --> 01:04:22,415
That sounds
really irresistible.

997
01:04:22,416 --> 01:04:25,499
I'm... I'm really not
a celebration person.

998
01:04:25,500 --> 01:04:27,124
Okay.

999
01:04:27,125 --> 01:04:29,374
Could be fun.

1000
01:04:29,375 --> 01:04:31,291
We could get dressed up,
order some good wine.

1001
01:04:35,208 --> 01:04:37,625
I didn't pack
for a special occasion.

1002
01:04:40,083 --> 01:04:41,499
Verity has lots
of fancy clothes

1003
01:04:41,500 --> 01:04:42,833
if you wanna borrow something
from her closet.

1004
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:48,000
[melancholic pop song playing]

1005
01:05:22,125 --> 01:05:23,832
Let's see... [gasps]

1006
01:05:23,833 --> 01:05:25,874
- [Crew] Look, there's a...
- No, no, no. If I get...

1007
01:05:25,875 --> 01:05:27,874
- [Crew whines] My stickies.
- [Jeremy] Don't fake cry.

1008
01:05:27,875 --> 01:05:29,458
- Don't fake cry to me.
- [Crew mumbles]

1009
01:05:31,541 --> 01:05:33,124
[Crew] Ha-ha,
you took the pieces.

1010
01:05:33,125 --> 01:05:34,249
[Jeremy] No, that's not right.

1011
01:05:34,250 --> 01:05:35,250
Hi.

1012
01:05:37,291 --> 01:05:38,916
Hi.

1013
01:05:39,333 --> 01:05:41,332
Hi.

1014
01:05:41,333 --> 01:05:43,124
Hey, Low.
Can I tell you a joke?

1015
01:05:43,125 --> 01:05:44,332
Yes, please.

1016
01:05:44,333 --> 01:05:46,500
What is E.T. short for?

1017
01:05:47,750 --> 01:05:48,915
Tell me.

1018
01:05:48,916 --> 01:05:50,207
Because he has little legs.

1019
01:05:50,208 --> 01:05:51,999
- [Lowen chuckles]
- He has little legs.

1020
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:54,082
- [Crew chuckles]
- That's a good one.

1021
01:05:54,083 --> 01:05:55,790
Um, knock, knock.

1022
01:05:55,791 --> 01:05:57,624
- [Crew] Who's there?
- Interrupting cow.

1023
01:05:57,625 --> 01:05:58,749
[Crew] "Interrupting cow" who?

1024
01:05:58,750 --> 01:06:01,707
- Moo.
- [all laugh]

1025
01:06:01,708 --> 01:06:05,332
That's a new one
for the repertoire!

1026
01:06:05,333 --> 01:06:06,665
Anna, we're leaving now.

1027
01:06:06,666 --> 01:06:08,374
- [Anna] Coming. Okay.
- [Jeremy] I'll see you

1028
01:06:08,375 --> 01:06:10,165
- when we get back.
- Okay.

1029
01:06:10,166 --> 01:06:11,332
[Jeremy] But probably more
in the morning, okay?

1030
01:06:11,333 --> 01:06:12,624
So you be good
for Anna, all right?

1031
01:06:12,625 --> 01:06:13,749
Okay. I love you.

1032
01:06:13,750 --> 01:06:15,166
[Jeremy] All right.
I love you, too.

1033
01:06:18,666 --> 01:06:22,249
Okay. So, what's your process?

1034
01:06:22,250 --> 01:06:23,957
- My process?
- [Jeremy] Yeah.

1035
01:06:23,958 --> 01:06:27,332
All writers have processes,
don't they? What's yours?

1036
01:06:27,333 --> 01:06:28,958
Oh, God. Um...

1037
01:06:31,583 --> 01:06:33,332
[sighs] Um...

1038
01:06:33,333 --> 01:06:34,540
Uh...

1039
01:06:34,541 --> 01:06:35,541
Well, I...

1040
01:06:36,666 --> 01:06:38,665
start writing...

1041
01:06:38,666 --> 01:06:41,249
and then I hate
everything I write,

1042
01:06:41,250 --> 01:06:43,165
but I keep writing,

1043
01:06:43,166 --> 01:06:46,707
and then I finish the book,

1044
01:06:46,708 --> 01:06:48,541
and I pretend I'm happy.

1045
01:06:49,791 --> 01:06:51,124
That sounds healthy.

1046
01:06:51,125 --> 01:06:53,582
- It's a really fun time.
- [Jeremy] Mm.

1047
01:06:53,583 --> 01:06:54,916
Okay,
I have one more question.

1048
01:06:56,458 --> 01:06:58,291
Are you hating this?

1049
01:06:59,708 --> 01:07:01,500
Are you having any fun at all?

1050
01:07:02,458 --> 01:07:03,624
I'm having fun.

1051
01:07:03,625 --> 01:07:05,624
Does it not look
like I'm having fun?

1052
01:07:05,625 --> 01:07:08,040
I can't tell from your...

1053
01:07:08,041 --> 01:07:09,582
That's just my face.

1054
01:07:09,583 --> 01:07:11,665
I have resting bored face.

1055
01:07:11,666 --> 01:07:13,665
I get that a lot.

1056
01:07:13,666 --> 01:07:16,374
But I am having a good time.
I promise.

1057
01:07:16,375 --> 01:07:19,290
- Okay.
- This is, by far, the best

1058
01:07:19,291 --> 01:07:21,665
Bavarian restaurant
I've ever been to.

1059
01:07:21,666 --> 01:07:23,332
I told you. It's the best.

1060
01:07:23,333 --> 01:07:26,332
The lederhosen
is a really nice touch.

1061

Can I ask you
one more question?

01:07:38,166 --> 01:07:39,166
Yeah.

1066
01:07:40,666 --> 01:07:43,250
Do you think that I should
get Crew back into therapy?

1067
01:07:43,916 --> 01:07:46,750
Yes. Definitely.

1068
01:07:49,625 --> 01:07:51,375
Have you ever been in therapy?

1069
01:07:51,833 --> 01:07:52,833
Yeah.

1070
01:07:54,750 --> 01:07:57,083
It's the best thing
that ever happened to me.

1071
01:07:58,291 --> 01:08:01,082
I was really troubled
as a kid,

1072
01:08:01,083 --> 01:08:04,000
and this therapist helped me

1073
01:08:04,666 --> 01:08:06,207
understand that

1074
01:08:06,208 --> 01:08:09,457
there wasn't
something wrong with me.

1075
01:08:09,458 --> 01:08:13,665
And... after, like, years of,
you know,

1076
01:08:13,666 --> 01:08:16,832
being told that I started
to believe it.

1077
01:08:16,833 --> 01:08:19,416
But it... helped.

1078
01:08:21,041 --> 01:08:23,166
Did your mom go with you?
To therapy?

1079
01:08:26,791 --> 01:08:27,791
No.

1080
01:08:29,875 --> 01:08:30,875
No.

1081
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:34,916
We were just very distant.

1082
01:08:36,291 --> 01:08:38,166
She actually reminds me
a lot of...

1083
01:08:40,791 --> 01:08:41,915
Uh...

in Verity's books.

Oh.

1087

1090

Why?

1091
01:08:59,750 --> 01:09:01,540
Because I couldn't fathom

1092
01:09:01,541 --> 01:09:03,957
that that all came
from her imagination.

1093
01:09:03,958 --> 01:09:05,665
[chuckles]

1094
01:09:05,666 --> 01:09:08,457
She would always
get so angry at me

1095
01:09:08,458 --> 01:09:11,540
for not reading
her manuscripts.

1096
01:09:11,541 --> 01:09:13,499
She needed my validation,
for some reason,

1097
01:09:13,500 --> 01:09:15,875
even though the whole world
was validating her.

1098
01:09:20,208 --> 01:09:21,458
Anyway...

1099

Where do you
get your validation?

1100

I don't.

My books aren't popular.
I haven't... [chuckles]

here or there.

1104

had the experience

What did you lie about?

1112

Verity didn't read your book.

1113
01:10:06,166 --> 01:10:08,540
Then why would you say that?

1114
01:10:08,541 --> 01:10:10,500
I read your book.

1115

mean as much

as it would from Verity,

Lowen.

1258

I'm leaving now.

1259

Okay.

1261
01:21:16,708 --> 01:21:17,875

Hi, Crew.

Hi.

1267
01:21:32,166 --> 01:21:33,499
What are you doing?

1268
01:21:33,500 --> 01:21:36,750
[Crew] I'm just playing
this game on my iPad.

1269
01:21:38,583 --> 01:21:40,874
Crew, can I ask you
a question?

1270
01:21:40,875 --> 01:21:43,583
- Yep.
- [car engine starts]

1271
01:21:46,250 --> 01:21:48,625
Did you ever have a canoe?

1272
01:21:50,500 --> 01:21:51,541
Yes.

1273
01:22:02,625 --> 01:22:04,540
Do you remember
being in the canoe

1274
01:22:04,541 --> 01:22:06,625
with your mommy and Harper?

1275
01:22:14,750 --> 01:22:16,833
Crew, how did
the canoe tip over?

1276
01:22:18,166 --> 01:22:20,999
Mommy said
I shouldn't talk to you

1277
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:23,083
if you ask me
questions about her.

1278
01:22:28,458 --> 01:22:30,208
Your mommy talks to you?

1279
01:22:32,083 --> 01:22:33,957
Crew?

1280
01:22:33,958 --> 01:22:36,332
Is your mommy pretending
like she can't talk?

1281
01:22:36,333 --> 01:22:37,540
- [Crew winces]
- [gasps]

- What happened?
- Um...

1285

Yeah, he... Yeah, he bit
the knife. I don't know...

[Crew continues crying]

1287
01:23:01,125 --> 01:23:02,790
Should I come with you?

1288
01:23:02,791 --> 01:23:05,874
Uh, no, urgent care
could take a while.

1289
01:23:05,875 --> 01:23:07,583
I need somebody
to stay here with Verity.

<i>How many years she's kept him
dangling on promises.</i>

1295
01:23:45,125 --> 01:23:47,457
<i>Well, sometimes it's
convenient to have a man,</i>

1296

cheaper than servants.</i>

[whirrs]

1298
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:20,208
I know what you did to Harper.

1299
01:24:23,875 --> 01:24:25,166
How could you do that?

1300
01:24:28,958 --> 01:24:30,833
How could you be so cruel?

1301
01:24:38,625 --> 01:24:39,875
Say something.

1302
01:24:42,583 --> 01:24:43,915
I know you're faking it.

1303
01:24:43,916 --> 01:24:45,958
I know you're faking it!

[eerie music playing]

1305
01:24:59,500 --> 01:25:00,541
[Lowen] Say something.

1306
01:25:01,875 --> 01:25:03,166
Say something.

1307
01:25:17,333 --> 01:25:19,832
You have this life.

1308
01:25:19,833 --> 01:25:21,416
You have this...

1309
01:25:22,750 --> 01:25:24,666
perfect life and...

1310
01:25:26,083 --> 01:25:29,500
And you have everything
that anyone...

1311
01:25:30,708 --> 01:25:32,208
could ever want...

1312
01:25:33,541 --> 01:25:35,041
that I want.

1313
01:25:36,250 --> 01:25:37,875
And you don't deserve it.

1314
01:25:42,708 --> 01:25:44,791
And I'm gonna
take it from you.

1315
01:25:47,125 --> 01:25:48,875
All of it.

1316
01:25:50,208 --> 01:25:51,416
Your house.

1317
01:25:53,333 --> 01:25:54,666
Your career.

1318
01:25:56,333 --> 01:25:57,666
Your husband.

1319
01:25:59,625 --> 01:26:01,499
So keep pretending
like you don't hear me

1320
01:26:01,500 --> 01:26:03,041
and you don't see me.

1321
01:26:05,541 --> 01:26:06,874
I dare you.

1322
01:26:06,875 --> 01:26:08,875
[eerie music

1323
01:26:20,666 --> 01:26:24,708
You deserve to rot
in your sad little robot bed.

1324
01:26:28,708 --> 01:26:32,708
You selfish,
Machiavellian cunt.

I was running out of air,

How's Crew?

1370

[Jeremy] Uh...

1371
01:29:12,958 --> 01:29:15,625
Six stitches and a bunch

1372
01:29:16,541 --> 01:29:17,875
he'll be okay.

Poor guy.

01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:28,249
The power goes in and out
when it storms like this.

1376
01:29:28,250 --> 01:29:30,583
So I'm gonna take a shower
while I still can. I am...

1377

1378

[Jeremy] Why do you have this?

1381
01:29:48,375 --> 01:29:50,458
Why is there a camera

[thunder breaks]

1383
01:29:53,083 --> 01:29:55,083
I can explain that.
We... We... We...

1384
01:29:56,750 --> 01:29:58,125
We need to talk.

1385
01:30:05,958 --> 01:30:08,207
Your wife is not

1386
01:30:08,208 --> 01:30:10,332
who you think she is.

1387
01:30:10,333 --> 01:30:11,749
She's not.

1388
01:30:11,750 --> 01:30:14,250
She has been lying to you
since the day you met her.

1389

Lowen.

1390
01:30:16,958 --> 01:30:19,332
Crew told me
that she talks to him.

1391
01:30:19,333 --> 01:30:21,790
She's helpless, Lowen!

1392
01:30:21,791 --> 01:30:23,165
I know you have
a writer's imagination,

1393
01:30:23,166 --> 01:30:24,624
but are you listening
to what you're saying?

1394
01:30:24,625 --> 01:30:27,124
Goddamn it, Jeremy!
She killed Harper!

1395
01:30:27,125 --> 01:30:28,500
What?

1396
01:30:29,208 --> 01:30:31,000
She killed Harper!

1397
01:30:32,625 --> 01:30:34,124
I can prove it.

1398
01:30:34,125 --> 01:30:35,125
Here.

1399
01:30:35,666 --> 01:30:37,208
Read this.

1400
01:30:37,791 --> 01:30:39,749
Read it.

1401
01:30:39,750 --> 01:30:41,499
It's a confession.

1402
01:30:41,500 --> 01:30:43,165
It's Verity's confession.
She wrote it.

1403
01:30:43,166 --> 01:30:44,375
I found it on a thumb drive.

1404
01:30:46,416 --> 01:30:49,375
It's... It's everything!
You need to know the truth.

1405
01:31:00,208 --> 01:31:01,708
She killed Harper.

1406
01:31:08,208 --> 01:31:09,583
She's a liar.

1407
01:31:14,333 --> 01:31:15,541
See?

1408
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:21,416
What are you doing?

1409
01:31:22,416 --> 01:31:23,666
Shit.

1417
01:32:19,916 --> 01:32:22,249
straight to the police,

1418
01:32:22,250 --> 01:32:24,374
and you will be locked up

1419
01:32:24,375 --> 01:32:27,375
and you will never
see Crew or I again...

1420
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:31,082
unless you tell me
what exactly

1421
01:32:31,083 --> 01:32:33,333
is happening in this house.

1422
01:32:37,333 --> 01:32:38,499
[inhales]

1423
01:32:38,500 --> 01:32:40,416
Please, please...

1424
01:32:41,791 --> 01:32:43,250
Please...

1425
01:32:44,250 --> 01:32:46,333
let me explain.

1426
01:32:47,625 --> 01:32:49,915
What the fuck, Verity?

1427
01:32:49,916 --> 01:32:51,415
[Verity] Jeremy,

1428
01:32:51,416 --> 01:32:52,874
I had to.

1429
01:32:52,875 --> 01:32:56,207
This whole time,
you've just been...

1430
01:32:56,208 --> 01:32:57,874
- what?
- [stuttering]

1431
01:32:57,875 --> 01:32:59,582
Please don't hurt me. Please!

1432
01:32:59,583 --> 01:33:01,582
[Jeremy] Don't hurt you?

1433
01:33:01,583 --> 01:33:05,082
{\an8}You murdered our daughter!

1434
01:33:05,083 --> 01:33:07,874
- [clattering]
- [Verity screaming]

1435
01:33:07,875 --> 01:33:09,750
- [Lowen] Shit!
- [Verity continues screaming]

1436
01:33:10,791 --> 01:33:12,166
[Lowen] Jeremy!

1437
01:33:12,791 --> 01:33:13,958
Jeremy!

1438
01:33:16,500 --> 01:33:17,665
[thunder crashing]

1439
01:33:17,666 --> 01:33:18,790
Jeremy!

1440
01:33:18,791 --> 01:33:20,374
[Verity continues screaming]

1441
01:33:20,375 --> 01:33:23,665
Stop! Stop! God, Jeremy!
Stop! Stop!

1442
01:33:23,666 --> 01:33:25,666
[screaming]

1443
01:33:27,208 --> 01:33:30,125
Stop!
You're crushing her windpipe!

1444
01:33:30,625 --> 01:33:31,999
{\an8}Jeremy, stop!

1445
01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:34,415
[coughing]

1446
01:33:34,416 --> 01:33:36,040
She killed Harper!

1447
01:33:36,041 --> 01:33:37,749
[Lowen] Think about Crew!

1448
01:33:37,750 --> 01:33:41,749
He won't have a mother
or a father if you do this!

1449
01:33:41,750 --> 01:33:44,374
They'll know you killed her!

1450
01:33:44,375 --> 01:33:45,540
[grunts]

1451
01:33:45,541 --> 01:33:47,916
[Verity gasps, coughing]

1452
01:33:50,291 --> 01:33:52,291
[Verity wheezing]

1453
01:33:58,500 --> 01:34:00,500
[thunder breaks]

1454
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:07,125
You have to make it look
like an accident.

1455
01:34:09,875 --> 01:34:11,207
[Verity] No.

1456
01:34:11,208 --> 01:34:12,624
No!

1457
01:34:12,625 --> 01:34:14,499
[screams] No!

1458
01:34:14,500 --> 01:34:16,582
Cover her nose and mouth
until she stops breathing.

1459
01:34:16,583 --> 01:34:18,665
[Verity screaming] No! No!

1460
01:34:18,666 --> 01:34:20,375
[Lowen] Don't leave any marks.

1461
01:34:21,541 --> 01:34:23,208
[screaming] No! No!

1462
01:34:24,125 --> 01:34:26,125
[muffled Verity screaming]

1463
01:34:28,208 --> 01:34:29,208
[Jeremy sobs]

1464
01:34:34,125 --> 01:34:36,125
[muffled screaming continues]

1465
01:34:43,666 --> 01:34:45,916
[muffled screaming continues]

1466
01:34:48,666 --> 01:34:50,916
- [Verity stops screaming]
- [breath trembling]

1467
01:34:56,208 --> 01:34:57,791
[Jeremy sobs]

1468
01:34:59,041 --> 01:35:01,041
[thunder rumbling]

1469
01:35:06,250 --> 01:35:09,457
[thunder crashing]

1470
01:35:09,458 --> 01:35:10,750
[Jeremy cries]

1471
01:35:13,666 --> 01:35:16,000
[exhales, breath trembling]

1472
01:35:21,333 --> 01:35:22,665
{\an8}Hey.

1473
01:35:22,666 --> 01:35:24,291
{\an8}It's okay. It's okay.

1474
01:35:25,541 --> 01:35:26,708
You're okay.

1475
01:35:28,291 --> 01:35:30,915
We're gonna come up
with a story.

1476
01:35:30,916 --> 01:35:32,749
You and me. We're gonna
come up with a story,

1477
01:35:32,750 --> 01:35:35,250
and then the truth
is just gonna stay with us...

1478
01:35:36,083 --> 01:35:38,957
just between us forever.

1479
01:35:38,958 --> 01:35:41,624
Okay. [breath trembling]

1480
01:35:41,625 --> 01:35:44,125
- We did the right thing.
- [Jeremy sobs]

1481
01:35:45,750 --> 01:35:47,375
We're good people.

1482
01:35:47,916 --> 01:35:49,125
[Jeremy sobs]

1483
01:35:50,250 --> 01:35:51,457
It's okay.

1484
01:35:51,458 --> 01:35:53,458
[breath trembling]

1485
01:35:53,916 --> 01:35:55,000
It's okay.

1486
01:35:55,833 --> 01:35:57,833
[shudders, sighs]

1487
01:36:28,208 --> 01:36:29,708
[Lowen] <i>It was done.</i>

1488
01:36:31,458 --> 01:36:33,375
<i>It could not be undone.</i>

1489
01:36:35,041 --> 01:36:38,332
<i>We were free from Verity.</i>

1490
01:36:38,333 --> 01:36:42,083
<i>Her cruel manipulations
could no longer touch us...</i>

1491
01:36:43,250 --> 01:36:44,666
<i>or Crew.</i>

1492
01:37:01,625 --> 01:37:03,124
[sheriff] Did you have
any interaction

1493
01:37:03,125 --> 01:37:04,374
with Verity last night?

1494
01:37:04,375 --> 01:37:07,707
No, I was working
in the office.

1495
01:37:07,708 --> 01:37:10,707
I was hired to help her write,

1496
01:37:10,708 --> 01:37:13,040
and then I went to bed
really early...

1497
01:37:13,041 --> 01:37:15,875
maybe, I don't know, 10:00.

1498
01:37:16,791 --> 01:37:18,332
[officer] Did you
hear anything?

1499
01:37:18,333 --> 01:37:20,082
Any idea when she might have
left the house?

1500
01:37:20,083 --> 01:37:21,957
No, no, um...

1501
01:37:21,958 --> 01:37:24,374
I mean, she's been bedridden,
you know, so...

1502
01:37:24,375 --> 01:37:27,790
- But she's in and out of...
- If she got out of bed, I...

1503
01:37:27,791 --> 01:37:29,999
I can't even imagine what
her mental state would be.

1504
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:31,749
[Jeremy] I'm just worried that
she might have been confused

1505
01:37:31,750 --> 01:37:32,874
or distraught,

1506
01:37:32,875 --> 01:37:35,499
and, uh,
gone looking for Harper...

1507
01:37:35,500 --> 01:37:36,790
or something, you know?

1508
01:37:36,791 --> 01:37:37,999
[sheriff] Is there
anything else you remember

1509
01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:40,916
about last night?
Anything that could help?

1510
01:37:45,125 --> 01:37:47,290
{\an8}No.

1511
01:37:47,291 --> 01:37:49,749
{\an8}[in anguished tone] I'm sorry.
I wish I could be

1512
01:37:49,750 --> 01:37:51,041
{\an8}more helpful.

1513
01:37:52,041 --> 01:37:53,958
Okay. Thank you.

1514
01:37:57,958 --> 01:38:00,791
[sheriff] There is
one more thing I have to ask.

1515
01:38:03,000 --> 01:38:04,541
What?

1516
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:08,874
Were you and Verity,
by chance...

1517
01:38:08,875 --> 01:38:11,583
working on the new
<i>Noble Virtue</i> book?

1518
01:38:16,541 --> 01:38:17,958
Perhaps.

1519
01:38:18,541 --> 01:38:19,915
[sheriff] Sorry.

1520
01:38:19,916 --> 01:38:22,082
I'm such a fan.

1521
01:38:22,083 --> 01:38:24,457
Been waiting so long
for this one.

1522
01:38:24,458 --> 01:38:25,458
[sniffles]

1523
01:38:26,250 --> 01:38:28,041
[sighs] Don't worry.

1524
01:38:31,166 --> 01:38:33,250
It'll be the best one yet.

1525
01:38:34,958 --> 01:38:36,291
Sweet.

1526
01:39:09,583 --> 01:39:10,708
[Lowen] Hi, guys.

1527
01:39:14,583 --> 01:39:16,583
[cell phone rings]

1528
01:39:21,666 --> 01:39:24,207
- Hello?
- Hey, good morning, sunshine.

1529
01:39:24,208 --> 01:39:25,332
[chuckles]

1530
01:39:25,333 --> 01:39:26,624
<i>Happy moving day.</i>

1531
01:39:26,625 --> 01:39:28,249
Thank you.

1532
01:39:28,250 --> 01:39:29,707
I just got here. Hi.

1533
01:39:29,708 --> 01:39:32,165
Jeremy and Crew
are almost ready to go.

1534
01:39:32,166 --> 01:39:33,540
I came to pick them up.

1535
01:39:33,541 --> 01:39:35,915
Hachette approved the outline
for the next book.

1536
01:39:35,916 --> 01:39:37,749
So you are good
to start writing.

1537
01:39:37,750 --> 01:39:38,999
Oh, wonderful.

1538
01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:41,332
Um, but I'm actually
gonna need you

1539
01:39:41,333 --> 01:39:42,958
to ask them for an extension.

1540
01:39:43,375 --> 01:39:44,499
I can ask.

1541
01:39:44,500 --> 01:39:45,874
Okay.

1542
01:39:45,875 --> 01:39:47,375
I'll talk to you soon.

1543
01:39:47,875 --> 01:39:49,582
[line beeps]

1544
01:39:49,583 --> 01:39:52,541
[breathes deeply]

1545
01:39:54,333 --> 01:39:56,957
- Oh, my God, I missed you.
- [both chuckle]

1546
01:39:56,958 --> 01:39:58,457
- Hi.
- Hi.

1547
01:39:58,458 --> 01:40:00,624
- [gasps] I have something.
- What?

1548
01:40:00,625 --> 01:40:02,040
- I have a thing!
- Okay.

1549
01:40:02,041 --> 01:40:03,540
- Close your eyes.
- What is it?

1550
01:40:03,541 --> 01:40:05,582
- Close them. Close your eyes.
- Close my eyes? Okay.

1551
01:40:05,583 --> 01:40:07,624
Hold out your hands.
Put them here like this.

1552
01:40:07,625 --> 01:40:09,416
- Don't move.
- Okay.

1553
01:40:12,916 --> 01:40:14,165
- [Lowen] Okay...
- Should I keep waiting?

1554
01:40:14,166 --> 01:40:15,708
- [Lowen] Yeah.
- [Jeremy] Okay.

1555
01:40:18,375 --> 01:40:20,540
- [gasps] It's amazing.
- I know.

1556
01:40:20,541 --> 01:40:21,832
It's an advance copy.

1557
01:40:21,833 --> 01:40:23,832
You're the first
to have it in your hands.

1558
01:40:23,833 --> 01:40:25,332
[Jeremy] I can't wait
to read it.

1559
01:40:25,333 --> 01:40:27,332
- That's me.
- [laughs] Yeah.

1560
01:40:27,333 --> 01:40:29,165
Yeah.

1561
01:40:29,166 --> 01:40:31,374
I'm so proud of you.
You did it.

1562
01:40:31,375 --> 01:40:34,957
- We did it.
- Hmm. Mm.

1563
01:40:34,958 --> 01:40:36,374
[Crew] LowLow!

1564
01:40:36,375 --> 01:40:37,874
Hi!

1565
01:40:37,875 --> 01:40:39,499
- [exclaims]
- [Jeremy] Hey, hey, hey.

1566
01:40:39,500 --> 01:40:40,790
Be careful
with your little sister.

1567
01:40:40,791 --> 01:40:42,749
- [Lowen] He's okay.
- I know. I know.

1568
01:40:42,750 --> 01:40:43,999
[Lowen] Hi.

1569
01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:46,165
I'm so happy to see you.
I missed you.

1570
01:40:46,166 --> 01:40:48,499
Are you excited
for our next adventure?

1571
01:40:48,500 --> 01:40:51,665
It's a really long drive
to Southport, North Carolina.

1572
01:40:51,666 --> 01:40:53,207
- Yay!
- Yay! [laughs]

1573
01:40:53,208 --> 01:40:54,749
Okay, let's go!

1574
01:40:54,750 --> 01:40:56,624
Do you wanna say goodbye
to your room?

1575
01:40:56,625 --> 01:40:58,332
Oh, my pictures!

1576
01:40:58,333 --> 01:40:59,333
What pictures?

1577
01:41:00,208 --> 01:41:01,291
Crew!

1578
01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:14,040
- Boo!
- [exclaims] God!

1579
01:41:14,041 --> 01:41:15,999
[Lowen giggles]

1580
01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:18,290
Don't scare me like that.

1581
01:41:18,291 --> 01:41:19,457
What are you doing?

1582
01:41:19,458 --> 01:41:21,625
I got my pictures. See?

1583
01:41:22,500 --> 01:41:24,332
Where did you get these?

1584
01:41:24,333 --> 01:41:26,582
From my secret hiding place.

1585
01:41:26,583 --> 01:41:28,124
Can't tell you
where it is, though.

1586
01:41:28,125 --> 01:41:29,540
You better tell me
where it is.

1587
01:41:29,541 --> 01:41:30,999
You better tell me where it is
right now.

1588
01:41:31,000 --> 01:41:32,166
- [Crew giggles]
- [laughs]

1589
01:41:33,333 --> 01:41:35,457
Why don't you,
um, go wait outside

1590
01:41:35,458 --> 01:41:37,416
and I'll be there in a second.
