[AND THE HOUSE WAS EMPTY
PLAYING]
Guess who I am
No need to be so frightened
It's fine
It's fine
I wanna be anointed
Tonight
Tonight
It doesn't feel
Like anything
Like anything
Like anything
It used to feel before
It doesn't feel
Like anything
Like anything
No more
Say, are you losing yourself
In this mood?
It's a no shit era
And I'm dripping blood
Are you, too?
Step back on the closest room
I am the best of them all
Can you see that too?
I know you can
I will never let go of that
I will barely let got of you
It's my piece of cake
Tell me who I am
Who you are
Who you wanna be
Next generation's coming
It's coming
It's coming
For you
Guess who I am
No need to be
So frightened
It's fine
I wanna be anointed
Tonight
- What?
- What do you... What salad do you like?
[LAUGHING]
Elise, what are you
doing here?
You didn't even...
call to say
you were coming.
Yeah, um, so...
I'd better be off.
I'm preparing things for
the Collins account tomorrow.
Um...
So if we meet first thing
and grab a coffee,
then we can review.
Yeah. You better make
mine extra strong.
As if I'd forget such
a thing in the morning.
[SIGHS] So...
What do you need?
Well, I just thought
you said you were
gonna be on time
this evening for dinner.
They needed me
to stay late, so...
so I'm here.
Do you know what day
it is today?
You lost me.
Third of March.
Our anniversary.
[SIGHS] Fuck, Elise.
I totally forgot.
Yeah, I know.
It's the work load
they put me on.
I was completely
snowed under here and...
Yeah, you looked really busy
when I walked in just then.
Really busy.
- Look, I was just...
- [CELL PHONE RINGS]
Hello.
No, I can't right now.
Okay, okay. Yes.
All right. Okay.
I'll come and meet you now.
Okay, bye.
I have to go.
Okay? It's an emergency.
Sorry.
- No, you don't...
- I have to. I have to go.
- Okay?
- Please, no.
That was Simon.
Oh, Rick.
No, not tonight.
It's our anniversary.
Come on, please. Look.
Stay with me tonight.
Elise, I can't.
I've got to go, okay?
No, you don't.
Just put my...
Just put my dinner in the oven, okay?
I'll have it later.
So let me get this right.
Actually, he forgot
your anniversary?
Yeah.
And I was stood there,
and of course...
got completely rejected.
God, I feel like
such a fucking idiot.
You're gonna need something
stronger than that.
- Right.
- Hold on.
I mean, it's obvious what's
been going on, though.
I've known it for months.
Go on.
ELISE: That he's
cheating on me.
What, with one
of those receptionists?
Yeah.
Yeah, he must be.
In fact, I know he is.
I mean, all these strange
work hours of his,
and having to suddenly leave
in the middle of the night.
No, he's cheating on me.
You know what I would do?
What?
Go fuck every man
in sight.
[LAUGHS] What?
Get him back.
You know, and if he has a reason
to dump you in the future
for some other girl, then...
you'll have something
to throw in his face.
No, no, no.
I couldn't do anything like that.
I mean, I'm married.
I couldn't do that to him.
Go have fun.
Enjoy yourself.
You deserve it.
I couldn't do
that to him.
It's just wrong.
You know...
[CELL PHONE BEEPS]
He's here.
- Who's here?
- He's here.
- Come on, you need to go.
- Wait, who's here?
Raymond. [GIGGLES]
Some guy I met online.
No, no. Didn't you learn your
lesson after the last one?
That guy...
I can't remember what he was called.
Charlie?
Yeah, Charlie.
Oh, he was hot.
But he got weird as fuck, you know.
He wouldn't stop texting
and calling me and stuff.
I had to get rid of him.
Now, come on, you need to go.
Okay.
Just be careful
with this one.
Is he cute?
Hmm. He's stacked.
And he's well hung.
If that makes me
a bad friend, then so be it.
Now, come on,
you need to go.
All right. Okay.
God, ever since
you left your marriage
you've been having
so much fun.
I have.
And so should you.
Now, don't be a sorry ass
and get some fresher meat.
Come on, you need to go.
Okay, okay. Have fun.
You bet I will.
[LAUGHS]
[SLOW DOWN PLAYING]
I can't breathe
I can't move anymore
Can you stop
Slow down
Just slow down
I can't, I can't stand
I can't stand it
[CHUCKLES]
Slow down
Slow down
Can you feel me?
Slow down
Let me take a break
Let's take a break, boy
Slow down
I can't breathe
I can't move anymore
Can you stop?
Slow down
Slow down
Can you feel me?
Slow down
Can you feel me?
Slow down
[MOANING]
Slow down...
I'm sorry, I just don't have
any notes in the book.
MAN: It was for 3:00 p.m.
to meet with Janet Waters.
Take a few images
for a plan, I suppose.
Felix.
Oh, Janet.
Nice to meet you.
Yeah, we don't actually
need you today.
Why is that?
Because we don't need
a photographer.
It must have slipped
my mind.
But, anyway, we don't need
you, so please leave.
Really nice way
to run a business, lady.
Really nice.
Thank you for nothing.
Cheers. Thank you
very much.
Great.
Oh, Elise, if you're
looking for Rick,
he's actually got a meeting
with a client about...
He and she have had the a
date booked in for a while.
[SOFTLY] Elise?
Elise?
RICK: Right.
I'm almost out.
Do you wanna go out
for a bit of dinner?
You're off out
somewhere?
- No.
- It's just the outfit, then?
Okay, I'll see you later.
[SIGHS]
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
FELIX: Hey, do you mind?
No, go ahead.
You know, you could just go
over there and talk to him.
What do you mean?
Whoever that guy
is over there,
you're pretty enough
to just go over there.
I'm sure he would not
turn you away.
No, no.
It's nothing like that.
What's it like?
What's wrong?
Man in black gone.
What?
Yeah, actually.
Well...
I'm not going anywhere.
[CHUCKLES]
I don't know who that
guy was over there,
but he clearly
doesn't deserve you.
Wow. You sure do know
how to flatter a girl.
I flatter the ones
I want, yeah.
And the ones you don't?
Why would that matter?
You are not one of those.
Ah.
- Oh, my God. It's you.
- [LAUGHS]
The photographer
from the office.
Oh, my God. I'm sorry.
[LAUGHS]
Nice to see I've made
and impression.
No, no. It's not that.
I've had a lot on.
But, listen.
About Janet...
Don't pay any attention
to what she said.
She can be
a complete bitch.
Your boss?
No, no.
She's not my boss.
And I don't work there
either, for the record.
May I ask you
what you do?
Don't tell me you're a photographer
as well and stole my job from me.
[LAUGHS] No, no.
- Are you?
- No, no.
Good.
I wanna photograph you.
Not a portfolio,
just a one time thing.
No, my days of posing
for the camera are long gone.
Wait, you've posed before?
Why don't you tell me?
Yeah, I used to do some acting
when I was younger.
Why did you stop?
Please let me.
You'll enjoy it.
Just let me.
[AND THE HOUSE WAS EMPTY
PLAYING]
Are you sure we should
be doing the shoot inside?
What?
You don't like it?
It's fine. I can...
No, you...
You look incredible.
Have a seat.
Anywhere you want.
Pick it.
Anywhere you want.
- Anywhere?
- Mm-hmm.
Okay. [CHUCKLES]
But not there.
- Is here okay?
- Mm-hmm.
I have also...
prepared some candles.
I'm a bit nervous.
Don't be.
I'm just gonna take
a few test shots.
I haven't done this
for a while, so...
You'll be fine.
Just relax.
[CAMERA CLICKS]
So do you live here
with someone?
Yeah, actually, um...
My husband.
- Oh, really?
- Yeah.
And where is he?
[CHUCKLES]
Embarrassingly, um...
Turn this way.
He was the guy
I was spying on.
Really?
Yeah, I know
it's a bit weird, but...
That is a little bit weird.
Why would you say...
No, I think it's
actually quite hot.
Trust me, it's not.
How do these look?
I'll show you in a minute.
You're so impatient.
[LAUGHS] I'm curious.
What?
You had a little bit of...
Oh.
...lipstick on your...
My chin?
You're perfect.
[CHUCKLES]
I'm really not.
What has your husband
done to you?
What do you mean?
Well, to make you lose
all your confidence.
Come here.
- What?
- Give me your hand.
Come on.
Walk this way.
- What?
- Come with me.
[LAUGHS]
FELIX: Sit down.
ELISE: Oh, gosh.
[LAUGHS]
What are you doing?
Get ready.
Boo!
That is what we call
a mirror.
Look at yourself.
You keep your eyes
on yourself.
You're beautiful.
And you need
to know that.
Look at yourself.
Nobody looks like that.
[CHUCKLES]
Or feels like this.
Take your dress off.
What?
What?
I don't even know
your name.
Oh, how rude of me.
Felix. Nice to meet you.
[SCOFFS]
Elise.
I want your confidence
to come back.
Kiss me.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
FELIX: You're so beautiful.
Wait. No.
I can't. I can't.
What's wrong?
[SIGHS]
I can't do this.
Why?
You just need to leave.
Can I get any
of you guys coffee?
We're fine.
Thank you, Elise.
You're so sweet.
Rick, I've got
to get home.
[CELL PHONE BEEPS]
[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]
Give me a kiss then.
Uh, Rick, actually...
before you go,
I just need you to have a
look at this floor plan.
I've had them drawn up
for a while,
but I just need you
to approve them.
What is this?
Remind me.
It's the floor plan
of the stairs.
Remember?
I was thinking we should
have it over in this corner,
- like I originally planned.
- Wait, wait, wait.
That would make more sense.
Tessa, we can have some time
to go over this?
Yeah?
Give Elise some help?
I'm more than capable
of doing this myself.
- I can finish this.
- You don't know the first thing
about this stuff, okay?
- But look...
- Tessa.
Next week, okay?
Yeah. Yeah, that's okay.
[CELL PHONE BEEPS]
[ICE CREAM PLAYING]
Put on your clothes
What do I know
Maybe we could go places
We haven't been before
Baby got me tripping
On the ice
Tripping on
My ice cream, boy
Boy
Treat me really nice
Make me feel alive
Please, boy
Won't you treat me
Really nice
Love me all night
Please, boy
Love me all night
Please, boy
Love me all night
You have to go no, okay?
Sure.
[ELISE LAUGHING]
I am going to...
No. [EXCLAIMS]
Oh, my God.
- Don't drop me.
- Are you ready?
Are you ready?
[ELISE SHRIEKS]
Don't drop me.
Oh, my God. Oh.
What's that?
Huh?
All that shit.
[SLOW MUSIC PLAYING]
ELISE: Oh, my God.
Oh, fuck. It's Rick.
Yeah.
[SIGHS]
You have to go.
- It's fine.
- No.
- If he thinks...
- I can handle him.
No. No, please, just go.
Are you serious?
Look, I need to go and speak to Rick.
Please.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Hey.
I know you didn't expect
me back so soon.
Listen.
I know I haven't been
around that much.
And I've been absent
in our relationship.
[CHUCKLES] Yeah.
But I want this to work.
I want us to get back
what we had again.
But why?
Why haven't you been there?
Work has just
completely taken over.
And after what happened,
I think I used it
as a big cover up.
And I delved deeper into it
to avoid the realities of life.
I should have been
there for you.
I shoulldn't have left you
on your own to cope.
I'm sorry, Elise.
Anyway...
[CHUCKLES]
[LAUGHS]
See?
I'm just gonna grab
a shower.
- Can you do me a favor?
- Mm-hmm.
Can you grab me some ties?
I've got to pack up.
Yeah, of course.
[SHOWER RUNNING]
[GASPS] Oh, my God.
What are you doing?
What took you so long?
Felix, he's in the shower.
Yeah, I know.
That's exactly what
you love about it.
No, we can't.
Yes, we can.
[ELISE MOANING]
Yeah?
RICK: Can you
grab me a towel?
Yeah, sure.
[FELIX MOANING]
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
RICK: Elise?
Can you pass me the towel?
How long were
you watching?
For a minute.
Get in the bed.
[RICK GRUNTING]
Okay.
I will see you
in a few days.
This trip...
what is it?
Some boring business.
Nothing you would be
interested in.
Okay.
Okay.
Have a good time.
Okay. You too.
See you later.
Perfection.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
- Fuck.
- What?
Don't I have to go?
Your husband's gonna be home.
Oh, no, no, no.
Relax, relax.
Relax.
Rick's actually away
on a business trip.
- Is he?
- Yeah.
- [CHUCKLES]
- You didn't say.
Well, he's not back
until Tuesday.
So I'm gonna be all alone.
Hmm. Am I invited?
- [CHUCKLES]
- I can come around.
Oh, do you even need
an invitation anymore?
You know
when we first met...
Mmm?
I said that I want
to fulfill your every desire.
[CHUCKLES]
Well, I do.
I do.
Like what?
Well...
You wanna know something?
Hmm.
I liked seeing you
with another man.
I did.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
I wanna...
How should I put it?
Invite...
other men over
to your house and...
give them permission to...
make love
to a married woman.
Don't look at me like that.
- That's what you want?
- Yeah.
Do you want that?
Yeah. I guess.
Okay, I'll arrange it then
for when your husband's away.
Wait, I don't...
This weekend,
when your husband's away.
I don't know.
Hmm.
No excuses.
You said yes.
TESSA: Elise?
- Who's that?
- Oh, fuck.
Oh, it's Rick's PA.
You need to leave.
Now. Go.
Give me a kiss.
- Just go, go, go.
- Tell me you love me.
- What?
- Tell me you love me, or I won't go.
TESSA: Elise,
are you in there?
- I won't leave.
- Okay, I love you. I love you.
[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]
[SIGHS] Tess.
Please, please, please,
don't tell Rick.
Tell him what, Elise?
Thank you.
Look, if you ever need
to talk, I'm here.
Okay?
Bye.
So he told me
that he loved me.
And then he made me
say it back.
You don't, though, do you?
No. No, of course not.
Are you sure?
Yeah, I think so.
So, what's he like?
Oh, he's amazing. Yeah.
I mean, he's not
really your type,
but he's well built.
Great ass.
That's important.
[BOTH LAUGH]
Yeah, I was...
I was thinking about
taking up my acting
career up again.
Oh, yeah?
Well...
Be careful this time, okay?
You got hurt really bad
last time.
I don't want you
to get hurt again.
I really care about you.
Yeah, yeah.
You're right. Yeah.
So, um,
we're experimenting this weekend.
- Oh, yeah?
- While Rick's away.
Yeah? Tell me more.
[LAUGHING]
[DOOR OPENS]
Oh, my God!
Who are you?
Get the fuck out.
I said get the fuck
out of my house now!
Felix.
FELIX: Are you ready
to explore, Elise?
I wanna see you get taken by
another man in your husband's bath.
[SLOW MUSIC PLAYING]
Why are you
sleeping with me?
It's a long story.
I have time.
Um, well, I moved to London
when I was 16,
um, for my acting career.
I was doing really,
really cool shoots
all over the world
and stuff.
And I met Rick
here in London
at a networking event.
He was a little bit
older than me.
He was a banker.
He had a great job,
and he was so charming.
Um, the age difference
didn't really matter to me.
There was just
something about him
that made me...
I just wanted him.
I felt like I needed him.
We had great sex.
- Hmm.
- Just like this.
- Just like this?
- Just like this.
And we had a great relationship
based on great sex.
But, um...
I don't know.
After a while
I fell pregnant.
And then what happened?
Well, I was indifferent
about the pregnancy.
But, Rick, he...
He wanted the baby.
Seven months
into the pregnancy,
I, um...
I lost it.
I lost the baby.
I'm sorry.
No, don't be. It's...
[CLEARS THROAT]
It's stuff that happens, isn't it?
It can't be helped.
And now?
- Now?
- Mm-hmm.
Um, now. Okay, now
I'm no longer a model.
No longer have a career,
no longer having fun,
no longer...
[MUMBLES TEASINGLY]
No longer in love.
Oh.
You know that day
we met in the cafe?
How could I forget?
I was following him to the
woman he's been sleeping with.
Yeah.
I plan to confront him
that day.
What stopped you?
I didn't have the facts.
Would you have left him?
Yeah, I was
thinking about it.
You deserve everything.
Including this strawberry.
[LAUGHS]
- Open.
- Why are you so messy?
Open.
Bite it.
- I bit it.
- [LAUGHS]
Oh, my God.
Do you wanna try
something else?
Huh?
- What now?
- Do you wanna?
- Now?
- Yeah.
- What do you mean?
- Stay here.
Wait. No, no, no. I don't think
I'm ready for any more. Felix.
Felix?
Who are you?
I'm Tom.
You must be Elise.
So, what
do you think, Elise?
Do you, uh...
Do you wanna try?
Yes.
[NEON LIGHTS PLAYING]
We're passing the streets
Full of neon lights
Look into my eyes
We're passing the streets
Full of neon lights
Look into my eyes, yeah
I want to speed it up
Reaching our limits, no limits
Like we have no breaks on
Just relax and ride on
Into the night
Into the night
Full speed in the night
I'm gliding the ice
Into the night
We took off into the night
Full speed, you and I
We're not afraid
Not afraid
We're passing the streets
Full of neon lights
Look into my eyes, yeah
I want to speed it up
Reaching our limits, no limits
Like we have...
Yeah, I loved it.
Did you? What did
you love about it?
I love all that you do.
[GIGGLES]
We should do it again.
[DOOR OPENS]
Fuck, it's Rick. Shit.
I'm just backing out.
- Leave.
- Go.
Who is he?
- Who?
- Don't lie to me.
Hi.
Cheers. Thank you.
Felix.
- Good to meet you.
- Rick.
Good to meet you.
I'm Elise's husband.
We didn't realize you'd be back so soon.
We were just...
on the rooftop
taking some shots.
Elise, I'm proud of you.
[CHUCKLES]
Can I have a look, then?
The photos?
Oh, what do
you think, Elise?
- Oh, I don't know.
- Should we...
show him?
No. No, I don't know.
You'll have to wait
until I'm airbrushed.
How was she?
Still got it?
Your wife is...
fetching.
[CHUCKLES]
You know, I've told her numerous
times to take it up again.
And I'm glad that she
finally listened.
Anyway, I'll be
seeing you soon,
and great to meet you.
- And you.
- See ya.
He's nice.
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
Oh.
It's about time
you turned up.
Wait, is Rick back?
Calm down,
he's not here.
His assistant let me in.
Thank God.
[LAUGHS]
You scared the hell
out of me.
Seriously?
You do realize you missed
our lunch today, right?
Oh, shit.
B, I'm sorry,
I completely forgot.
Sorry?
Where were you, then?
Assuming you weren't
with Rick.
No, listen.
I was with Felix.
You spend every living
second with that guy.
Seriously, what's going on?
I thought it was a bit of fun and
you didn't like him like that.
He is a bit of fun.
I'm married.
Well?
You're blushing.
- [LAUGHS]
- And I know you.
It sounds more than just
a bit of fun to me.
So when's Rick
actually gonna be home?
I don't know.
He's probably out with clients
or at the office, as usual.
I guess I best be going then.
No, wait. Don't do that.
You don't have to go.
Come on, stay. I...
I can get us some wine
and we can have a catch up.
Come on.
Look, Elise.
I know what it's like to be crushing
on someone, okay? It's just...
You're my best friend, and...
you've just
disappeared on me.
Just...
Give me a call when you
actually want to meet me, okay?
I've got to go.
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
I love you.
- Boo!
- [SHRIEKS]
Oh, my God! Felix!
How did you get in here?
The door was open.
Why, what's the matter?
I've missed you.
Felix, stop, stop, stop.
What?
Look, should we go out
for a drink or something?
No.
I have something
better planned.
- No, no, no.
- Come...
with me.
- No, no, no.
- Come on.
What is this?
Our next adventure.
Sit down.
Meet...
- Mindy.
- Don't touch me.
Get down there,
you little slut.
FELIX: Come on.
Quickly.
FELIX: Come on.
Join us.
- [WHIPPING]
- Ow.
Do you like that, Elise?
Do you like him in pain?
You do, don't you?
Do you want a go?
He likes it.
MINDY: Here, you have a go.
Come on.
[LAUGHS] Good girl.
A bit harder.
[WHIPPING]
MINDY: Come on, you can do
better than that.
[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]
[FELIX MOANS]
[MUSIC CONTINUES]
[BOTH MOANING]
Oy.
Oy.
Come here.
[SIGHS]
What's the matter?
I don't know if this is
something that I want anymore.
Why?
I don't know what I thought
this was, but...
it's all gone completely
out of control and I...
I was thinking I should
go back to my husband.
It's because of the girl?
No.
I've seen four men
take you in front of me.
I do it for the first time
and that's a problem?
No, Felix, she's not
the problem. We are.
I needed to speak
to you today, because...
I had a pregnancy scare.
And if it had been positive
I wouldn't have known
who the father was.
So I think it's just time
that this little fantasy ended
before it gets out of control.
You told me you love me.
No, I didn't.
You told me in your house.
Oh, Felix, no.
No, no, no.
You made me say that.
You made me,
You wouldn't leave.
We would have been caught.
What was I supposed to do?
Felix, look,
I'm married, okay?
You knew this about me.
I can't give you
what you want
and it's not fair
to continue this
any longer on anyone.
- No, I know what you want.
- No.
I know what you want.
I know.
You felt threatened
because of the girl.
That's all it was.
I can give you what you want.
You know I can.
I love you so much.
No, please stop.
No, listen to me.
I can give you
what you desire.
Oh, Felix, don't.
[SLAPPING]
Now get in here!
Felix, no!
[SLAPPING, ELISE SCREAMS]
Felix, no!
Shut up.
What the hell is going on?
Get the fuck off.
Are you all right?
What the fuck
is wrong with you?
Seriously,
what is wrong with you?
Get the fuck out.
You heard her. Get out.
If you don't leave in the next
minute, I'm calling the police.
I'm going.
You need to keep away
from that kind, all right?
He's not fucking
worth it, is he?
[SIGHS DEEPLY]
- Thank you.
- It's all right.
Go home.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
Elise, did that guy
hurt you?
Leave it, Tess.
Elise, you need
to end it with him.
Good guys don't do
stuff like that.
I have ended it with him.
Good.
Let's just say he didn't
take it very well.
You gotta be careful.
Yeah, I know.
But don't worry.
I'm fine.
Good.
Yeah. Let's just...
hope I don't see him
ever again.
Yeah, hopefully.
Mmm.
Ready?
Yeah, I think so.
You look like
a million dollars.
Thank you.
- I'll be right back.
- Okay.
[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
Wait.
Why is Felix here?
Well, you wanted
someone here,
so, um, I wanted you
to have someone.
Bianca wasn't free, so...
Take a seat.
Elise.
You look stunning, Elise.
Hey, you okay?
FELIX: Thanks for inviting me.
- Wow.
- Yeah, I know, right?
So have you... Sorry.
John, have you met my wife, Elise?
Elise, this is John.
They've met before, no?
TARA: Hey, Elise.
ELISE: Oh, hey.
- How are you?
- Oh, good. How are you?
- Ages ago.
- Yes.
You look great.
It's good to see you.
I love the dress.
TARA: Thanks.
And who are you?
Kept him a secret,
didn't you?
- Felix.
- Tara.
- Great to meet you, Tara.
- Nice to meet you too.
You have gorgeous eyes.
Oh. You sure know
how to flatter a girl.
I flatter the ones I want.
Ooh, really?
And those you don't?
You do not wanna be
one of those.
FELIX AND TARA: Cheers.
TESSA: How about that?
I mean...
JANET: I think you'll
find that actually
me and Greg
will never die out
because we discovered that he
has this insane love and hate...
and we got...
You know...
It was loads of fun.
[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]
[JANET SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
Elise, what's next
for you and Rick
now that his contract
is terminating?
JANET: Elise?
Yes, sorry.
I said, what's next
for you and Rick
now that his contract
is terminating?
What do you mean?
Yeah.
Actually that is what
tonight's about,
and I've actually
called it quits
on the old job.
And...
So I can focus,
take something a bit
more manageable,
for less hours...
RICK: Less stress.
So I can focus
more time at home.
Oh!
Sweet of you.
Excuse me.
The toilet.
I'll go and see
if she's okay.
What's got you so tense?
You have people sat
at that table out there.
Felix, you did that right
in front of my husband.
It was hot, though, right?
You enjoyed it.
Are you not listening to
anything I've been saying to you?
That was far too close.
Never again.
Never say never.
This isn't some game,
Felix, okay?
This is my life.
- Your life?
- Yes, my life.
Your life?
Let me tell you something.
Your life is gonna get a whole
lot more interesting now.
- Do you understand?
- Get off me.
Don't speak to me like that.
Who do you think you are?
Felix, you fucking
assaulted me.
- Kiss me.
- No.
Get your fucking
hands off me.
Get off me!
Fucking creep!
[PANTING]
She was just...
Elise.
Your husband is a very
hard worker.
We'll be sad
to see him go.
You're a lucky girl.
And the men's bathroom is at the
other side of the restaurant.
I just came to see
if she was all right.
Right.
I don't think you realize
just how lucky you are.
Now, you may think that
you have everything,
but you can lose that just
as quickly as you got it.
Rick is a dear friend of mine,
and I don't think he knows
about these silly little games
that you're playing.
But when he finds out,
there will be hell to pay.
And as a loyal colleague,
I have my suspicions.
You better
watch your back.
Janet.
[SIGHS]
[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]
Elise, you're okay?
Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
Rick will be back
in a second.
He's just seeing
some of the others off.
Yeah. No, it's fine.
I'll just... I'll wait.
If you ever need
anything, I'm here.
Okay? I mean it.
Thanks. Bye.
Bye.
RICK: Looks like they
got lucky after all.
[CHUCKLES]
After you, my lady.
[CHUCKLES]
RICK: Okay.
Oh!
Thank you.
Is that our
best champagne?
Maybe.
Oh, Rick,
why the suspense?
Oh! [LAUGHS]
Looks like
I'm all yours now.
Rick, you didn't have
to quit your job.
[SIGHS] Why, Elise?
The job...
didn't make me
happy anymore.
I needed some time out
to rethink things.
And I realized that if I stayed
there, you would...
I would lose you.
And you...
are the most important
thing in my life.
Cheers.
[LAUGHS]
Oh, what's this?
I love you.
I love you.
[SINNER PLAYING]
Hold me like a sinner
Don't let me get away
Hold me like a sinner
And I'll fuck you
Like a saint
Oh, secrets in your sleep
Whisper them to me
We're lost beneath
The sheets
Holding on to me...
I love you.
I love you.
[DOOR OPENS]
Who was that?
I don't know.
Postman maybe?
Listen, why don't you
pop on the kettle
and I'll make us
some breakfast?
Wow, that's a first.
Mmm.
[BOTH LAUGHING]
[ESCAPE PLAYING]
Baby, I want to get
To know you better now
Better now
I want to get
To know you better now
Why won't you tell me
Who you really are
Why won't you tell me
Who you really are
Tell me when it stops
I don't wanna miss my chance
To escape this all
Tell me we're done
Are you having fun?
How long do I have to fall?
Where's the fucking remote?
Baby, I'm going crazy
Tell me when it stops
I don't wanna miss my chance
To escape this all
What do you, uh...
What do you want
for breakfast?
Oh.
Weird.
Ah.
That solves the mystery
of the remote.
Do you know what?
I think it's Bianca.
She must have taken it
by accident the other day
when she was around here.
Bianca was here?
Yeah, yeah.
She popped around the other day.
Sure.
That solves that then.
Where would my beautiful wife
like me to take her today?
Actually, I kind of have
somewhere I need to be.
Hmm? Where?
I have a castings afternoon
with Leila.
- Elise Styles?
- Yes.
They're ready
for you now.
- Thank you.
- Okay.
- Hello there. James.
- Hi.
- And you are?
- I'm Elise. Elise.
Ah.
- This is Leila.
- Hi.
- How are you?
- I'm good. How are you?
Good, then.
Thank you.
Good to see you.
- Please.
- Have a seat.
Thank you.
So, thank you
for coming in today.
As you're aware, Leila
is casting for her new client.
It's a very hip, young,
and current brand of fragrance.
So the aim of this casting
is to find a girl
who best matches that brand.
This is your portfolio.
The agent sent it
across to us earlier today.
Yeah, that's correct.
So we'll see what
we've got, shall we?
I actually did something
similar to this brand
that you were describing.
It's just in the middle
of the book
for reference.
Of course, some of the images
are a couple of years old.
[SNICKERING]
[STIFLED LAUGH]
Sorry, is there
something wrong?
JAMES: Sorry, it's, it's...
It's not what
we're after.
LEILA: I'm sorry,
we're not looking for that kind of model.
Thank you for your time.
[STIFLED LAUGH]
[LAUGHING LOUDLY]
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
[CELL PHONE BEEPS]
You didn't reply
to my texts.
What the fuck
is wrong with you?
Oh, so you got
the message, then?
Message? What do you
mean the fucking message?
You look so hot
when you're angry.
Oh, Felix!
- So hot.
- Oh, get off me!
I'm sick and tired
of these silly games, okay?
I'm not gonna leave him.
And you listen to me.
If you try and...
No, you listen to me.
You'll do everything that
I fucking tell you to do,
otherwise I'll show
your husband
everything you've done
behind his back.
- All of these.
- What?
Do you understand?
You'll do as I say,
or I'll show him everything.
Look, you don't have
the power here. I do.
Do you understand? I do.
You are mine.
You don't have
anyone anymore.
And if your husband see
what you've become,
he won't want you either.
You allowed men
you don't know fuck you.
You allowed yourself
to do things
that no other
woman would allow.
You have no respect
for yourself.
[SPITS]
I'm gonna show Rick
these discs.
He'll see you
for what you really are.
A fucking disgusting
little slut!
Tomorrow, I'll tell you where
you need to be, and when.
You'll do one more thing
for me and this is all over.
No.
Now you can leave.
Go on.
Get the fuck
out of here!
And until then I'll get
Mindy around again.
She's a better fuck
than you anyway.
[SOBBING]
[CELL PHONE BEEPS]
Stay here.
Are you ready?
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
I only wanna hear you
say one thing.
One word.
And that's "yes."
Okay?
Anything else...
I'll tell Rick.
Ready?
FELIX: Surprise.
Get on the bed.
Get... on... the bed.
She's all yours, boys.
Hello, darling.
[ELISE SOBBING]
Do you like that, Elise?
Are you sure
you want this?
Do... you...
like that?
ELISE: Yes.
I can't hear you.
[MAN GRUNTING]
MAN: She takes it good.
[ELISE WHIMPERING]
Go harder on her.
Go on.
[MAN GRUNTING]
I'll fucking show you
how it's done.
I'll fucking break you.
[ELISE SHRIEKS IN PAIN]
KYLE: I'll fucking break you.
Move over, Kyle,
my turn.
[ELISE SCREAMING]
Now you'll do one more
thing for me and that's it.
No.
No, you said this would be
the last thing.
No, I didn't.
ELISE: Yes, you did.
No, I didn't.
One more thing.
Do... you...
like that?
Yes.
I can't hear you.
I said, yes!
[ELISE SOBBING]
Same time,
same place tomorrow.
You disgust me.
I'll tell Rick.
Where are you going?
I'm gonna tell him first.
Fucking bitch!
Put your clothes on.
Get out.
I said put your clothes on!
Elise.
I wasn't expecting
you back.
I thought you'd be out
living the life of luxury.
Rick, I found it.
So have you heard?
Rick has signed
all of the papers
and everything over.
And it looks like
I'll be filling in for him.
I mean,
it's a shame, really,
that he's given up everything
to be with such a...
deceitful, unworthy slut.
But hey, ho. Life shits on you sometimes.
What can you do?
Have a great life, Elise.
Well, whatever's left of it.
Janet.
Get the fuck out
of my house.
Now.
Elise, what are you
doing in here?
What's the matter?
What's happened?
- Rick...
- Shh.
- I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
- Come on.
I have to tell
you something.
Right.
I've been a bad person.
I'm sorry.
I'm so, so sorry.
What is it?
Hmm?
I need to...
I need to ask you
something, okay?
And I need you to be
completely honest with me
and tell me the truth.
Okay.
Have you been
having an affair?
Elise...
Oh, please. Just...
Just tell me the truth.
Of course not.
Who have you been talking to?
What is this?
Hmm?
I cheated on you.
What?
Rick, I'm sorry.
- Elise, no.
- I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Rick, sit down.
Who?
Who was it?
It was Felix.
Felix?
Rick, I'm sorry.
Rick, I'm sorry.
It didn't mean anything. It was...
How long?
How long?
I don't know. Like the past
couple of months or something.
Don't look at me
like that.
Did you like it more
with him than you did with me?
No, no, no.
Please, Rick. Please.
Was it just with him?
How...
How many men?
You don't wanna know.
You are horrific.
No, don't say that.
I am gonna stay in
a hotel this evening...
No, no, no!
- And you are gonna pack your things,
- No, please.
- and you ought to go.
- No.
I want you
out of this house.
No.
- I want you gone.
- No, please.
Don't say that.
Rick! Don't.
It all just got
completely out of control.
He had this group
of men there
waiting for me.
He said...
He said that if I went
through with it, that...
he would leave me
alone, that...
that would be the end of it
and the secret would be...
would be safe
with him, but...
But it was not the end of him.
He won't stop.
He won't.
Oh! Like, what kind
of a person would do that?
What kind of a person would actually
agree to that and go through with it
just to keep a dirty,
horrible lie from her husband?
Go stay at a friend's house.
Stay somewhere safe,
you know.
With someone who
can give you support.
Okay?
Look, I know
Rick loves you.
And after all of...
everything that you two
have been through together,
I know that you're both
gonna get through it.
Okay?
- Thank you.
- Come here.
You're fine.
You're gonna get through it, okay?
Look, I have to go,
but thank you so much.
Be cautious, okay?
B?
B?
[CELL PHONE BEEPS]
Rick?
Oh, my God!
Rick!
Rick, are you all right?
Speak to me.
Speak to me.
You got the message.
Felix, what have you done?
Sit down.
Sit down.
FELIX: These are bad people.
Do you know what they
were doing all along?
Sneaking around
behind your back.
All those worries of this one
sleeping with another woman.
Well, ding dong,
you were right.
It was this bitch.
Is this true?
Do you see it now?
Hmm?
I'm the only one who's ever been
here for you this whole time.
Since that day
I saw you...
at Bianca's.
I was one of Bianca's
many men.
You remember me,
don't you?
I thought the first time we
met was at the office that day.
So, what do you mean
Bianca's?
What do you mean
you saw me there?
She thought she'd just let
me go like I was nothing.
You know, I was
there that day.
All of those you were
seeing behind my back.
But then I saw you.
Everything changed.
I saw in your desperation.
Your need to be touched.
To be desired.
You're Felix?
He told me he was Charlie.
Didn't you learn your lesson
after the last one?
That guy...
I can't remember what he was called.
Charlie?
Yeah, Charlie.
Well, he was hot.
But he got weird as fuck, you know.
He wouldn't stop texting
and calling me and stuff.
It was a one-night stand,
and you couldn't let it go!
Who the fuck
are you anyway?
You don't wanna know
who I am.
Get the fuck off of me.
You know they were there
that day.
At the cafe.
It happened twice.
It was over
before it started.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Hello?
Hey, can you come around?
No, I can't right now.
You can't do this to me.
You think I'm
a one-night stand?
If you don't come
right now, Rick,
I'm gonna tell Elise
everything.
Okay, okay, yes.
All right. Okay, I'll come
and meet you now.
Okay, bye.
[HEAVY BREATHING]
I wanted to be
with you, Elise.
That's why I quit my job.
I wanted to make it
up to you,
and be there for you.
Like I should've
always been.
Shut the fuck up.
Liar.
Once a cheat,
always a cheat.
Well, now
you know the truth,
consider them
for what they truly are.
You see them.
And you see me.
It's all black and white.
Felix, this isn't right.
Okay? You need
to let them go.
Let them go?
After what they've done?
These two are the last
attachment.
Once they're gone,
it's just us.
Look, what they did
wasn't right,
but neither was
what we did, okay?
So please just put the knife
down and let them go.
Are you serious?
Hmm?
Let them go?
You just wanna forget it,
just like that?
Hmm?
No, no, no!
No, no, Felix.
You know, Elise,
you've never been one to make decisions.
ELISE: No.
I'll do the hard part.
[SCREAMS] No! No! No!
[GROANING]
ELISE: No! No!
No! No! Please!
No.
No!
[SOBBING] No!
Please, Rick.
Rick.
It's gonna be okay.
It's gonna be all right.
I promise. I promise.
I'm sorry.
[SOBBING]
Elise, please untie me.
Please untie me.
It's okay.
Go, go, go.
Go get help.
Please forgive for me.
Please.
Just go.
Just go, okay? Just...
Go, I said, go!
Go now!
Yes, I need the police.
Yes, police.
I need help, please.
He's got a knife.
[SOBBING] No.
I'm gonna come back
for you, okay?
I need to go
and get help.
You're gonna be fine.
You're gonna be fine.
[GASPS]
B?
B.
B, come on.
Come on, come on, come on.
Come on, speak to me.
Come on. Please.
Please speak to me.
Come on.
B, you're gonna
be fine, okay?
I'm gonna go get help.
I'm gonna get help.
We're gonna be okay.
[FAINTLY] I'm sorry.
Don't. Please don't.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry
I hurt Rick.
[SNIFFLING]
I need you, Elise.
I don't love anyone
or anything but you.
Do you understand?
I need to have you. You're mine.
[SNIFFLING]
I don't know...
why you rejected me before,
why you said
we couldn't be together.
It's because
you're married, isn't it?
You can't leave him
because you're married.
Till death
do you part, right?
We can be together now.
We can be together.
[ELISE GRUNTS]
[SOBBING]
Fuck you!
[COUGHING]
What did you say?
I said fuck you.
Yeah, I heard you.
Go on.
Give them a show.
[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
I said fuck you!
[FELIX LAUGHS MANIACALLY]
You don't have control.
I do.
[SCREAMS] No!
Stop!
- [BONE CRACKING]
- [ELISE SCREAMING]
You just don't
get it, do you?
You never had the control.
This whole time
you felt empowered,
that's what we taught
you to do...
I was hoping at last
you would know that.
[SCOFFS] Look at you.
Without me you're nothing.
Without me you're nothing.
[EXCLAIMS IN FEAR]
- No.
- [KNOCK AT DOOR]
Do you hear that?
Without me, you are shit.
[THUD]
[GROANS]
You never had
the power here.
I did.
I did love you.
But not anymore.
Go on.
Do it.
I...
made you.
Fantasy over.
[SOBBING]
Uh, and then moved on
to Bianca Matthew's house.
Attacking and binding her,
before moving on
to your place,
to pick up his next target,
Mr. Styles.
Felix...
Well, we should stop referring
him as Felix now, really.
It's very unlikely his name
was actually Felix.
At the moment
he's a John Doe.
There's next to no evidence
he ever existed.
Can't you trace his
family or friends?
Surely, someone
must know something.
Oh, we followed up
every lead that we had.
Each one was a dead end.
So he really did have
no one, then.
Elise, I know it's
a tough subject,
but I might as well
run it by you. Um...
As we have no contacts
for Felix,
there's no one
to take his ashes.
We can dispose
of them, obviously...
No, no.
It's fine. I can take them.
Sorry to interrupt.
I just want another one.
Good to see you've made
a full recovery, Mr. Styles.
Well, I couldn't have done it
without this one.
Or this one.
Do you know what
you're having?
A boy.
- [ELISE CHUCKLES]
- WOMAN: Congratulations.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
This garden
is so beautiful.
What will it be,
that is until...
the little man
comes along.
[CHUCKLING]
[CELL PHONE BEEPS]
[CHUCKLES]
Who's that?
It's no one.
- [GROANING]
- What?
What? Do you want me
to get some water?
Yeah, please.
Okay.
Thank you. Yeah.
