The Light of the Moon (2017)
Thank you, darling.
When can we get out of here? I'm almost done. Oh my god, this isn't even due until next week. I'll kill you. I will kill you! It's my first solo gig. I've got to impress everyone. Just wear some low-cut tops next week, that should do the trick for "Brian the Brainless". So, where's Matt? Yes, where is Matt? The 99 million dollar question. Oh, speak of the Devil. No. It literally is the Devil. One of the rare times you may have spoken too soon - He's here! What's up Jack? - Hi Matt! - How are you? Better now that you're here and we can get away from the army of trust fund interns. Have you been working out? No more than usual? So, none at all. None at all. He's being facetious - Hi. Hi. Let me get you a drink. You're gonna hate me. One of our ad execs just got into town. I envy how much make-up sex you two must have. He's a big client, Bon. Bigger than the one who was in town last week? Yeah, that was - It's not going to be that late, though. I might be able to link up with you guys later on? Oh fun! I won't hold my breath. Hey, you know, sometimes you're here until like 9:00PM on a weekend. Yeah, well, at least you know where I am and not snorting blow off a hooker's butt. Yeah, is that really what you think we're doing? I watch "Madmen". Babe, it's not the 60's. It's... Trust me, it's not that fun, it ends up being bunch of dudes watching football highlights and playing Beer Pong till they pass out. It's pathetic. You ok? Yeah... - You just.. you just miss me? - Yeah. I can tell. I know, I miss you too! And I'm also exhausted, do we have plans tomorrow? No, nothing on the books. Good, good. Let's just do nothing except be with each other. We can even like, turn off our phones, you know, kick it 90's style? For the entire day? Yep, the whole day. Oh my God, that's so romantic of you. It's just how I was raised. Forgive me? Maybe. Well I can make it up to you. Get out of here. I love you. I love you, too. Don't drink too much! I will! You okay? Some guy just tried to creep on me on the dance floor. This place is getting so gross. I even got an ass grab in the bathroom. And you're complaining? No, I'll take whatever I can get right now. And apparently, so will she. Oh wow! I'm the best friend. I'm the greatest. You are. You're the reason we all get laid. Oh, that's so sweet! I love you so much! I love you so - I love you more, I love you more. I love you. Bye. Bye. Watch her. You're the prettiest girl that I've ever seen. Shut up! Bye. I'm just kidding. You're the prettiest. Bye! Ugh. Let's go get one more? No, I think I'm gonna go home and lie on the floor, and listen to Tina Turner's '77 Australian Tour. Oh, I take it there's been no word from Brad? Radio silence since Monday. I think it's officially over. Sorry. It's ok. Honestly, Tina, "what does love have to do with it?" No! No. Don't torture yourself. Why? It's my favorite past time. Are you gonna grab a cab? Yeah, you wanna splitsies? Mm, no. I think I'm gonna walk. Ok, well, I'll see you Monday. Love you. Love you more. Bye. I love you more, bitch! Mi vida! Hi, hey listen, Jimmy managed to get us a table at Marquee. So, yeah - It's gonna be a late one. Sorry. I swear there's no butts, there's no coke. Um. Ok baby, I love you. Have a fun night. I will fucking kill you. You got it? No, please. Take whatever you want - my phone. Just please, don't do that. Please. Please. Please. "Getting off the subway now. " Hey. What's up? What's wrong? Hey? Whoa. Whoa! Hey! You ok? What happened? Baby? Baby, look at me. What happened? Let me see your face. Let me see... Oh my God. What the fuck? Who did that? What happened? What fucking happened, baby? Did someone fucking hit you? Talk to me, please. Baby, talk to me? I don't know what to do - just fucking talk to me. I got mugged. When? Just now? Are you serious? They fucking hit you?! What the fuck! What a fucking piece of shit. Fuck, I'm so sorry. Baby. I think I need to go to the hospital. Really? Did you call the cops? No. Please don't get mad, let's just go. Ok. No no no, yeah yeah yeah. I'm so sorry. Ok, alright? Yeah. Can you describe the person who attacked you for us? I didn't - I didn't get a good look at him. Was he tall? Yeah. Maybe 6 feet? He was strong. He had - sharp stubble. Black, white, hispanic? He was white. Maybe a mix? When did he do that? When I bit his hand. What did he take from you? What are you missing? Your phone? No, I have my phone. Money? Credit Cards? Bonnie, did he sexually assault you in any way? Why don't you sit down? It's best if you just sit down. - Alright. - Alright. Can I have a glass of water, please? We can't give you water until after the exam, to preserve the evidence. I wiped myself with the tissues. My underwear is in there, too. That's really helpful, Bonnie. How much did you have to drink? Um, I dunno - like four drinks or something. Four? It was... maybe 7. But like - over the course of - like, 5 hours. Beer? Cocktails? Shots and mixed drinks. So it's more like - 12 drinks, right? Did you willingly take any drugs? What is this... You won't get in any trouble. Um, I had a little - a little bump of cocaine. Listen, these guys, they prey on drunk girls. It's their number one M.O. Makes it easier for them. Can you remember anybody at the bar that was suspicious? Anything? Um, there was one guy who kept trying to dance with me? Could this have been the man who attacked you? I don't know. I didn't really look at him. That's absolutely fine. That's why we collect all the other evidence. Where was your boyfriend at the time of the attack? He was out with some - work colleagues. The guy took my license. He took - he took my license. He won't come - he's just trying to frighten you. But he could, right? He won't. We'll put some patrol cars in your neighborhood. You'll - you'll be fine. Excuse us, please. Sorry, but we have to ask Matt to leave the room, as well. Ok. I'll just be outside. I have to get all the way up to the cervix. So It's going to hurt a bit. Did he penetrate you anally? No. Ok, we're all done. You can sit up now. Alright, we can get you some x- rays now. Hey. I'm sorry - I'm sorry that I wasn't with you, you know. If I had been there - if I had been with you. Matt, please please please, not now. Ok, sorry. What did they say? - It's not broken. - That's good. Yeah. They gave my stitches in my mouth. Where I bit my cheek. I have your discharge papers. Great. So first I have your pregnancy prophylaxis. I'm sorry - what is that? This is your morning after pill. Just in case. These are all precautionary, Bonnie. The chances of anything happening are really slim. This is your HIV prophylaxis - you have to take this once a day, for 28 days straight, for it to be most effective. Now, I've also called you in some anti-nausea medication, 'cause this tend to make people feel a little sick, it could induce vomiting. But I'm going to give you your Tetanus and Hepatitis B vaccinations right now, before you leave. The police have also asked if you could take them to the crime scene. When, now? That's ridiculous, I mean - I - I understand, but the scene could become contaminated or disturbed if they wait. No, I'm not going back there. I'll draw them a fucking map. That's fine. It's up to her. Ok, ok good. Bonnie, my card's in there, you can call me anytime. And there's some numbers for some free therapy services, too. Just one more quick jab. Ok. All done. Let's get out of here. Oh, you're awake. Yeah, I just woke up. Ok. Hold on. What is all this? I got you blueberry pancakes and granola from Lighthouse. And there's coffee, too. You want coffee? I didn't realize this was a "breakfast in bed" situation. I'm kidding, relax. Can you go get my painkillers? Yeah, which ones do you need? All of them. Alright, here's coffee. And here's - I brought everything. OK. Here. Thank you. How's your - How's it - How's it feel? I feel like I've been hit by a truck. I don't - I don't think I can get through granola today. Oh, yeah. Sorry. What? What? Are you just going to sit here and watch me eat? The show's not about to start, Matt. Sorry. They just told me at the hospital that I need to reinforce, like, a positive male influence in your life. I don't think you're supposed to tell me that. Yeah. Probably not. It's okay. It's okay, sit down. Look I know this is really weird and uncomfortable, and I don't know what to say, but... just try and be yourself, okay? Sure. Sorry. And stop apologizing. Are you ever going to kiss me again? I'm dying to kiss you. I just don't want to hurt you. I can handle it. You're, uh, you're mom called while you were asleep. I think that she has, like, a sixth sense for this stuff. I don't think I'm going to tell her about what happened. Really? Just with all the stuff with my Dad and everything and - I dunno. They're your parents. I mean, don't you think that they would want to know something like this? I just know my mother will go crazy. She'll say all the wrong things, and probably just use it as ammunition. Yeah. That's - your call. Here, I'll get it. Not - not so hungry? Okay. Are you ok? What? Do you need help? I'm fine. Look, if you need me to call the cops, I can... Let's go. Yeah, it'll just be a minute. Hey, what's wrong? Everyone is looking at my face. Come on. No they're not. The waitress in there asked if I needed help. She thinks you did this to me. What? Who cares what they think? I do! Let's just go home. Hey, no. Here, here. Just put this on. There you go. I look stupid in hats. It's Brooklyn, nobody gives a shit. You look like the last kid picked for the softball team. Shut up. "I'm just out here in leftfield, waiting for the ball. " Hey, you know what? Why don't we go to the movies? No one can see us in the dark. You're going to work? I have to. The Speakeasy job is due Friday. No. Don't you think you should take another day off? No. It's too big of a job. And I don't want to just mope around the house another day. We don't have to mope. We could - we could go to the park, we could have a picnic. I already emailed the team last night and said I'm not coming in. What did you tell them? That you're sick and I have to take care of you? Look, I know you're itching to get back to it, but I don't think, you know, you should rush it. Just one more day. That won't hurt, would it? Mentally? Yes. Well, do the people at work even know what happened? Let's just tell everyone it was a mugging, okay? You're not even going to tell Jack? And have him ask me for all the details? No, thank you. Oh, come on. He wouldn't do that. I just can't even fathom telling people something like that. I wouldn't even know what to say. Mate, how you doin'? That's crazy, what happened to ya. I know. Where'd it happen? Just three blocks away from my place. Look at that shiner! Oh, you should see the other guy. So what did he take? Just some cash and credit cards. What a fucking prick. Yeah. Oh my God, Bonnie, you look awful. I think what she means is: "you look bad ass. " Yeah, that's - that's what I meant. Where did it happen? Just three blocks from my apartment. Were you wearing your headphones? I always walk without my headphones at night for this exact reason. Well, you know what they say, you're not a real New Yorker till you've been mugged. Is that what they say? Yeah. That or ten years, I think? It was a full moon, that's why. And Mercury's in retrograde. I thought that only affected phones? Yeah. Well, I suppose we should let you get back to it? Yeah. Let me know if you need anything, mate. Will do, thanks. You look great. It doesn't look that bad. Not according to Mikaela. Oh my god, that girl wouldn't know tact if it punched her in the face - sorry, too soon. - Oh my god. - Foot in mouth. So are you going to show me your stitches? Oh my God, that's disgusting. Hey, um, I'm sorry. Jack... If I just made you get in the cab with me, none of this would have happened. Stop. It was my choice. You scared the shit out of me. Yeah, you and me, both. Fucking scumbag. Bonnie, I can't believe it. I'm so sorry that happened to you. How are you feeling? It actually looks way worse than it is. Mmm you poor thing. Anyway, just so you know, I've freed up Guy's calendar so he can help you out on the. Speakeasy job. Oh, you didn't have to do that. No, he already started on it yesterday. And I moved all of your client presentations to next week, too. Oh, I should be fine for Friday. I just, I - I thought it might be for the best. Right. Of course. Wouldn't want anyone to think we're slave drivers around here, now, would we? No. Alright. Well, you just take your time settling back in, ok? And just ask Guy where he got to. Hey! Como estas? You're cooking? Yeah, I thought I'd take a shot at poisoning us for the evening. And you've got multiple processes going! If you're gonna do something, might as well go all the way, right? Yeah. I should, like, write a blog about this or do an infomercial or something. Oh yeah? Yeah! "Do you want your man to cook for you? Clean? Pick up his dirty laundry off the floor?" "Well it's easy! Step 1: Get raped. " Whoa, tough room. Ok, well - I'm gonna go take a shower. Ok. I'm sorry. It's okay. Is it? You know, I'm really trying... I know, I know. It's just, like, a lot. Well, isn't this what I'm supposed to do? Take care of you? You never wanted to do that for me before? Well, you didn't need it. Didn't I? It's just - It's just - It's sad. Well, yeah, of course, I mean - it's going to be tough - No, I mean, that it took this to get you to make me something that isn't out of a can. Ok, I know that it - seems bad but - Yeah, that's because it is. Well, I can't change the past. Look, I'm sorry, you're right, it's - it's shitty. It shouldn't have taken this for me to get my act together, but would you rather that I just don't try at all? No, that's not what I'm - I'm just saying that it's, like, all this effort all at once - it's like, ugh. I just want - I just want the old Matt back. I don't know if I can just snap back to that. Well can you just, please try? Just for a little while, just try. Please? Yum. I saw the, um - pamphlets from the hospital in the recycling. Oh my god. I just - don't you think that some kind of therapy might be helpful? Oh my god, ok - So because you can't "fix me" with breakfast in bed or whatever this is, I have to go see a therapist? No, I can't fix - I can't fix anything! I'm not asking you to! Well, you kind of are, because if you don't tell anybody else, then you're putting it all on me. Fine. I'll stop talking to you about it then. Fuck, no, that's not I'm not... Look, it's... I don't expect you to get better right away. Oh my God. "Get better?" You know what I mean. You've been through, like... If this happened to anybody, they'd need help getting - Well, I'm not anybody! Yeah, I've - I... I know. I know you're not. If I go to therapy, it's like... It's like he's - It's like he's all the way in. Well maybe you could, just, talk to Jack or your parents - I told you - Well, I don't think that he's gonna... I don't think that they're going to freak out... Ok. Alright. They are not - They are not like your parents, ok? They're not. My mom is still mad that we moved in together. She'll probably say this was God's punishment. So, just trust me on that, ok? Ok, I will try to go to a support group. Really? Yes, but you have to promise me that you're not going to ask me about - talking to my parents about this again. Nope. Ok. Your bartering skills are very impressive. Thank you. Much more than I can say for your cooking skills. This is bad, isn't it? What's this little guy? That's a carrot! Ok, wow. Why did you add anchovies to this? I really thought I had a chance at Top Chef. Oh, that's so sweet. Should I just call Thai Palace? Should I just - We don't have to eat it right? No, call Thai Palace, please. It was very nice. Thank you. Mm-hmm. But this Pad Thai's gonna be better. Hi. I'm so sorry I'm late. No, it's quite alright, please come join us. Um. We're just getting started, so... have a seat if you like. Welcome. I'm Ariel. Hi. I'm Bonnie. Hi. Um, would anyone care to share next? Go ahead, Joanna. Hi, I'm Joanna. Um... My ex-husband keeps showing up lately. I try to stand my ground but, he always finds a way to talk me into letting him inside the house. I don't understand how I can be so confident in other areas of my life, but with him. I feel like nothing. I don't want to tell the kids what he's done. I still want them to know their father. They should, shouldn't they? That... that's their right. But he still - he scares me. I think he'd even hurt the kids just to get at me. You okay? Fuck - Matt! Woah, sorry! What are you doing home so early? How was it? I'm not going to one of those things ever again. Look, maybe it just takes some time, you know? It... Don't school me on this, ok? I acquiesced, I tried and it made me feel like utter shit - so can we drop it? Ok? Ow! F... Mi hija. I haven't heard from you in forever... You're probably working too hard, as usual. Ahora, listen to me, your Papi wants to see you. Give him a call, okay? And we need to talk about the 4th of July, okay? Your brothers are coming. If you want I suppose you can bring Matthew, if he doesn't have any plans. Bonnie, um... Hi, this is Detective Lambert from the NYPD. I'm calling to let you know there was another assault in your area last night and the man was caught leaving the scene. So we are hopeful that it is the same man that attacked you last week. So we need you to come into the precinct tomorrow, to see if you can identify him in a lineup. You'll be safe, he won't see you. Ah, it shouldn't take more than - We should leave in 30 minutes. Yep, I'm just looking up directions. I think if we take the J we can... the J will take us straight there. Yep. Yep, that's right. Hey. I couldn't I.D. him. What does that mean? I stared at these six guys right in the face, and and I didn't know which one it was. No, I mean - so, so now what? I'm so fucking annoyed with myself. I should have just looked at him. I just thought if I saw him again... it would just come back or... Hey, it was dark, you were scared. It's okay. It's not okay. It's stupid, that's what it is. Really fucking stupid. Hey! Are you the other girl? Sorry? I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I'm sorry... no... I... I don't know what you're talking about. What? I'm sorry about whatever happened to you but I'm not - Where'd you get that then? Sorry. She's upset, you know? Bonnie, whoa, okay... Bonnie, slow down. I don't want to be a part of this sisterhood of rape victims. Ok, I get it. I'm not like that girl. That girl's a fucking mess! I'm not like that. Hey, she was just upset - So am I, but I'm not going to make a big scene in front of everybody. Every? Who's everybody? Look, she was just trying to comfort you. More like comfort herself. Ok. Is that such a... such a bad thing? Do you hear yourself? Ok, so we were raped by the same asshole of a guy? Yeah, okay, so now we have some sacred bond and we're supposed to heal each other? I don't know. Would you say the same thing about cancer patients who go to support groups, stuff like that? I'm not dying, Matt! I know you're... come on, I... It's not... It's a stupid argument. It's not even in the same universe. I just don't think that crying about it and then rehashing it over and over again, is going to help anyone. You don't know that. Are you sure? Are you using a condom? I... Yea... The doctor said I... Oh, right. Yeah. Yeah? I mean, better safe, right? Right. Sorry! Okay. It's ok? - Mhm. - You sure? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. Okay. Come on, baby, fuck me. Come on baby. Come on, Matt! Fuck me for real. Ok. Just give me a second, just give me a second. Ok. - Sorry, I - - It's ok. Yeah. I dunno. It's fine. I was tired anyway. I'm going to start squatting. You mean like a 30-day challenge? No, squatting in vacant apartments. I swear to God, it's almost impossible to find an apartment... an affordable apartment in New York City and I just read this article about all these internationals that are like buying up vacant apartments in Manhattan and leaving them empty for years and years until little Johnny comes along and claims his piece of the pie. Ew! Yeah, it should be illegal to take up space in Manhattan. I swear to God, I'm going to start squatting. I'm going to be the best damn squatter New York City has ever seen. Mm, ok, yes. But you think it's illegal when your Uber rating drops below 5 stars? Ok, that is actually a crime. And this is for the good of America. Mhm. I don't think that argument is going to fly in court. Yeah. You're probably right. I just have to get out of my apartment. There's too many good memories. I guess they're not good anymore. Are you ok? Huh? You're like acting weird. Oh... I'm just... I'm worried about Matt. Why? I dunno, he's just not handling all of this very well. Define "handling it well. " He's become so over- protective. It's like... - Suffocating? - Yes! Exactly! Yeah, but that's normal, right? I feel like I've become more protective of you, too. Yeah, but you're not overbearing about it. He is literally doing all the right things. Check, check, check. I know, I know. It's a stupid thing to complain about. Yeah, yeah, a little bit. But, I'm sure he understands. Oh no, no - he understands. Oh, he understands everything. He understands everything. I could spit in his face and he'd just wipe it off and then rub my back and say "it's okay, babe. It's ok... " Bonnie! I know, I know! I'm a horrible human being. I'm a garbage human being. And I say, I say the most awful stuff to him. And I feel it rising up in my throat and I'm trying to like choke it down but I can't. It's just too... I can't handle it. That is so weird... I would have thought that you'd want him to be closer after what happened? Well, I dunno. Maybe I'm the exception to the rule. Shocking. Ok, maybe I'm not allowed to say this, but - can you imagine how he must feel? The fact he didn't come out with us that night. The guilt must be killing him. Why do people do that? It's not like I'm holding it against him or something. Hmmm... Maybe just, like, a little bit? No. Ok, if that's what you want me to believe, that's fine. But, you know... Inner demons are always the hardest to overcome. Did you read that in a book? I saw it on OWN. OWN? You're watching OWN now? The Oprah Winfrey Network. The Oprah Winfrey... Okay. Okay. Yes. Hashtag Grateful. No. No! Alright. Excuse me. Sorry. Sorry. The train was late. Are you still working those long hours? Yea. You'll make yourself sick. I'm the lead on a big job. I have to impress them. Do you really think I don't know? Your friends are writing about it all over your Facebook. I thought you didn't know how to use Facebook? Your cousin taught me. Great. - So? - So? So do you think this is how I deserve to find out something like this? Mom, I cannot control what people put on Facebook. And you've forgotten how to use the phone, Bonita? Especially, with your father the way he is - Did you tell him? No. Never. He's in enough pain without having to worry about his daughter running around in the middle of the night. Mom, please. It's fine, I'm fine. Everything is fine. These things happen. It's that neighborhood - I told you, it's not safe. It's New York City. Nowhere is safe. - Then you should be extra careful. - not running around - sola por la noche! - Por favor! I know Matthew was not there with you. What kind of friends let you go out sola por la noche? You need to move. To Queens? You just told me last month your neighbors got robbed. That's different. My own daughter can't even find the time to call me. I just didn't want to worry you. Okay, you have enough on your plate as it is. Do you ever think tha it worries me more when I don't hear from you? Did you cancel your credit cards? Uh, yeah. Yeah I did. Brooklyn is where all of the drug dealers live. My God. Mom, it's not the 80s! Listen to me. You tell me next time, you hear? Not the stupid computer. You call me and you tell me. Hey. Bonnie, right? Yeah, Bonnie Gonzalez. You got my number from Vernon? At the station? Ah - what's his name. Oh, ah... Detective Lambert? Right. Right! He's a good guy. I know he can be a bit abrasive at first... He's gotta work on his people skills but I keep telling him that. Vernon! "Come on!" You know, today already. You want some water? I'm hopeless that way. Here, let me get you some water. Thank you I'm, I'm Kirra, by the way. Kirra Williams. Nice to meet you. So, I had a chance to look over your file quickly and we got to decide what angle to take here, honey. You're a smart girl, right? You went to college? Yeah, I went to Syracuse. That's great! The judge will love that. And you're pretty, that - that helps too. I mean, obviously, you were just born that way, but trust me, it's good for our case. Oh. So, we are just waiting on the results of your rape kit? Um, yeah. I believe so. Ok, that way we can see if the DNA matches the guy who raped the other girl, right? Ok. Good. Well, hopefully we'll have two matching sets of DNA. We'll put this guy away for a long time. Um, what if the DNA isn't a match and it was some other guy. Well, that's gonna be a harder battle. Hopefully we can still find him... but if he's a first time offender, that could be tough. Wait, even with the DNA? He'll argue it was consensual. He practically broke my cheekbone. That's neither here nor there. Plus, you were intoxicated. And, uh, you can't remember anything. I can remember some things. Very clearly. The problem is is that he'll remember everything, perfectly clearly. You know, he's going to say you came onto him, that you were flirting and dancing with him all night at the bar. That it was your idea. And you blatantly asked him t have sex with you. I would never in a million years... Yeah, but you can't remember? And just to help him even more, he has your toxicology report at this point. I am not the one who is supposed on trial here. But to the defense, you are. What district are you in? Bushwick. Great, you'll probably going to get Mahoney... he is a downright creep and has made it his mission in life to get every rapist off the hook. God knows why, ah... his mother didn't hug him enough as a kid, who knows... but he'll break you down and you need to be prepared. His aim is to get the judge to question your character and lighten this creep's sentence. Of course, I'll "object" every time, but he'll plant the seed. Now don't get me wrong, I agree with you. All that shit doesn't matter. Rape is rape. That's all it should come down to. But we're not saving the world today, we're not single-handedly changing the criminal justice system - not today. Our aim is to put this guy behind bars for as long as possible. And then he'll just get out and do it again, right? What is the point? Well, I figure, it's better than sitting around here and doing nothin' all day. And he'll get out, he'll do it again - they always do it again. And then - then we'll put him behind bars for life. And honey, if you were Black or he was your husband? Don't even think about it. You're one of my easy cases. Oh, do you want to - do you want to go? You can go. You can go. - Yeah? - Yeah. - It's ok? Yeah? - Aha. Yeah. Did you think about it? What happened to me? Hey... Let's just... I want to know. I did. I didn't want to, but I did. I'm sure that's completely normal. Did you? This feels like a trap. It's not. I promise. Yes. I thought about it, ok? And I fucking hate that I thought about it. Did the thought of it turn you on? - Bonnie. Come on. - It's ok if it did. The thought of that fucking piece of shit doing that to you? No, that doesn't turn me on. Does it turn you on? Well, I just couldn't stop thinking about it. So... I just changed his face to your face. Ok, yeah. Yeah, that's... That's fine. Do you look at me differently now? - No. - You must. If you mean, do I love you any less? No. If anything, I love you more. Out of pity. Do I still turn you on? Babe. Baby, we just had sex! I know, but was it as good? Was it - was it... I don't even know what you want me to say. So that's a no. It was good. It was good, baby? Can we please just, like, try to enjoy this moment? I want to just enjoy this, you know? Te amo. I love you, too. Bonnie. Bonnie? Can we have a chat in the conference room? Bonnie, we love your work here, you know that. Um... And, I know you're going through a tough time right now, and I want you to know that we've got your back, 100 percent. But we've decided it's just not working having you as the lead on The Speakeasy job. It's just, it's such a big account. You know, we can't have a misstep here. I'm sure you understand that? But, we'll put you on one of the smaller jobs. Maybe, maybe the Martha's Vineyard Shop? Great. Ok. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey girl, hold your horses. Oh my God, that last one went right to my head. And the three before that? Ok, so I might see you kids over the weekend? I'll walk home with you. Why? Where are you going? I dunno, I just want to go for a walk. It's a nice night. Yeah, I'll go too. - Let's all go! - C'mon! Since when do we walk each other home? I was thinking about it and I feel like we should make it a habit from now on. Really? Yeah, we can all take turns. And I'll go last, cause I'm the manliest. Okay. Guys, come on. What? Are you going to be there every single time I have to be walked home late at night? No, but we're here now. So... Look. It's very nice and all, but you can just go on home. Then I'm paying for you cab. Pree! You were just saying 20 minutes ago that you're broke. Then I'll pay for it. It's a 10 minute walk! So, what's the big deal? We just want to make sure you get home okay. It just... It makes me feel some wounded dog that you guys need to rescue. Bonnie, we're just trying to help. Because I'm a walking billboard that says: "help me"? Did Matt put you up to this? What? No. You are a terrible liar. Ok, it's not that I don't appreciate it or anything, it's just there's no point. It's only been a few weeks. Yeah, but I wish everyone would just get over it! The way that you are? Matt totally put you guys up to this. He's the worst offender! I swear. Okay, I'm just going to say the thing that I'm probably not supposed to say I'm so sick of the way everyone is looking at me, and the half-assed shoulder rubs and the random box of chocolates on my desk from some fucking guy in accounting who I don't even... I've never even said "hello" to - I'm sick of it! It sucks, ok. What happened to me, it's shit, but... this "pity party" is just making it worse! I didn't... I didn't mean you guys. Ok, you can walk me home. Hey. Hey. It's 1AM. Yeah, no, I was just about to go to bed. How were drinks? Good. Ok. So now I have a neighborhood watch, just for me? You know, I saw you walking home the other day from work. You were terrified. Oh you're spying on me now, too? - Oh come on. - You come on. I think we should move. I love our apartment. Yeah, me too. But I think it's time we get a fresh start. You know, someplace new. You mean run away? No. It's not running away, okay. I think it's for the best. Even if it's just temporary. I can get over this, okay? I can walk home without being all weird... I just, I don't think it's that simple. I mean... look... you're walking past the place where it happened, every day. I mean, come on, who could cope with that? You are the one that's not coping. You're waiting up at night for me? And now you're home at 6pm on the dot every single day. I have been trying to get you to come home early for months, and this is what it takes? It's bullshit. Ok, I admit: Maybe I haven't handled this the best way, but... You have made me so aware of my every single movement. And every time you do something that is so "un-Matt" it just reminds me that you look at me completely differently now. - That's not fair. - It's true. No it isn't! Bullshit. Ok, I... What do you want from me? I told you, I just want everything to go back to the way it was before. I don't understand why that is so goddamn hard to understand. I, I don't know if it can be like that again. But look, maybe we're meant to create a new-kind-of-normal. Maybe that's how we get through this? And maybe, just maybe we end up some place better than where we started? Ok, so maybe I'll just be thankful that I was raped? Fuck. Stop misconstruing my words. How about this, okay? How about you let me decide how I feel and how I feel and how I want to handle this. Your way of handling it isn't working, Bon. Fuck you. It's been four weeks. Exactly! It's been four weeks! That's it. So maybe it's not all meant to snap back in four weeks. You haven't even told anybody the truth yet. That has nothing to do with it! Yes it does! Because it puts it all on me. And I don't - I don't know if I can handle it! I shouldn't have even told you. Really, Bonnie? Like that was even an option? Jesus Christ. Look, it doesn't have to be these two extremes, you know? Maybe we're supposed to find... Oh please, please, stop with the "we" bullshit. This happened to us. You have no... you have, you really have no idea. Alright. I'm just saying that I lost something too. What? Your girlfriend's purity? Fucking stop it. I'm not... You're not going to do that to me, okay? You are not going to make me into "that guy. " I get that you're angry, ok? I get that you're angry at him. You're angry at all men. Yeah, I'm angry too. You don't think I want to fucking kill that guy for what he did?! Well, maybe if you had been there you could have. And maybe if you could fucking stop at three drinks. I didn't mean that. I didn't mean that. Hey, c'mon. You know I didn't mean that. I'm sorry. Nothing you did was wrong - Ok, he's the asshole, I'm the fucking asshole. Everything that you're doing... - Everything that you've done. - it's good. It's all good. I think it too, you know. I think that all the time. If I just hadn't had that last drink, or maybe if I wasn't so cheap and took a fucking cab home for once or if I didn't have my headphones on... And then I think - why? He would have just done it to somebody else, right? And I would not - I would not wish this on anybody. I've been thinking about this a lot... And I think I should move out. Don't. I don't think this relationship is working anymore, for either one of us. Don't do this. I'm sorry. I know you're really trying, Matt. But I just don't. I don't see... I don't see... how we can survive this. Bonnie, honey, it's Kirra Williams. I got some bad news. The man they caught - who attacked the other girl? Well, the DNA tests came back and he wasn't the same man that attacked you. I'm sorry, honey. Also, the swabs they took from you? They were inconclusive - the DNA doesn't match any of our records. I'm sorry- Excuse me. Do you realize how reckless you were just being? Excuse me? I don't know if you heard, but two women were just raped recently in this area and you're just walking around with your headphones on, not really paying any attention to the world. Ok, what the hell? Anybody could have been following you just now. Right. Like you just were? Yes, exactly. I was like two feet behind you and you didn't even notice. Are you trying to sell me something? I don't want whatever it is, lady - Look, I'm just trying to get you to be more aware of your surroundings. Thank you for the P.S.A. I'm serious. What on earth is your problem? I'm not the one with the problem here. Oh trust me, you have a huge problem. Do you realize you are practically asking for it? Who the hell are you? Oh my god, take out your goddamn headphones. Get your fucking hands off of me! Look around you. Listen to me. The world does not stop for you, okay? It keeps spinning, no matter what. And you think you're safe because you're right outside your building? You're fucking delusional! Lady, I don't know what happened to you. But it's not my fucking problem. Now leave me the fuck alone. What up? Hey? Hey, hey - Hey, come here. Come. I don't know what I'm doing. It's ok. It's going to be ok, I promise. I'm sorry, I really need to get this. Yeah, sure. No, no - will you please stay? Hi, Mom. Yeah, no, I've just been really busy - I'm sorry. Mom, can we talk about the holidays a different time, please? I just can't - Mom? Mom. Mom - please, stop - ok? Listen to me, please. I need to tell you something. It's really important. No - everything's gonna be fine. It's just - I just need to tell you something and I really need you to listen. Okay? Don't interrupt me. I'm sorry... I'm sorry that I didn't say anything about it before. But I really need to tell you something. Hey, you were here a few weeks ago, right? Ah, yeah. Not coming in? I was toying with the idea. It took me months to come back. And even then, I thought: "if they pull out the crystals and start burning incense - I'm getting outta here". I promise you, they don't. I'm Mina, by the way. Bonnie. Nice to meet you. Well. I'm going to go in, but honestly - no pressure. Thanks. |
