All language subtitles for Mortal passions (1989)

She's cheating on me.

What makes you think that?

I just know.

I mean, I can smell it when she comes home
late from work.

You mean you literally smell what?

She smells too clean.

You know, she smells like soap.

I don't know, is that ridiculous?

What do you think?

No.

Have you asked her?

So you're not having an affair?

No.

Believe me, I've had my chances.

And I've really thought about it.

And that makes me feel living guiltier.

Which is ironic.

Why, sir?

Because he won't touch me.

Well, he's been through a lot.

Don't you think he still cares about you?

It just hurts.

It really does.

Well, yesterday I, uh, I
got up and I actually thought

about getting dressed
and going into the office.

You know, I mean, idea actually appealed
to me.

It was about seven o'clock in the morning,
too.

And that's the earliest I've gotten up in.

I don't even know when.

The house is looking good, too.

I'll probably be finished in a couple of
weeks.

It's looking pretty good, I gotta say.

I'm, I'm, I'm really proud, you know?

Of course, if Emily and
I can't work things out,

then everything else
is just bullshit anyway.

Cure it again.

I just know I'm gonna find him one
morning.

Sitting in his father's El Dorado.

Engine running.

Gone.

Tell me, what's he doing that's worrying
you?

I mean...

He has moments when he manages to have,
show some interest in something other than

hammering nails
and... Painting walls.

Generally, though...
He's morose.

Sometimes violent.

Violent.

He hasn't really hurt me.

He did grab me by the wrist pretty hard
the other day, though.

That surprises me.

You're always surprised.

I don't know how he acts with you.

From where I sit...

He's right on the edge.

Sorry I'm late, honey.

I went shopping after I saw Dr. Powers.

I had to go to three different stores to
find this pair of black leotards.

How'd it go with Paris, honey?

He's your old stuff.

You know, my awful childhood.

My terrible father.

It was a good session, though.

Oh, good.

Wall's almost done.

We have about...

73 more to go.

You look very nice.

Look, um... How much time do you
have before you have to go to work?

You've got all the spare time,
Todd.

I got the job.

Okay.

Todd, if you would sell this place, we'd
have enough time to do anything we want.

We'd have enough money so I wouldn't have
to be a cocktail waitress.

Look, baby, I know how you feel.

I really do.

How could you know how I feel?

You don't care if I run around half-naked
serving drinks to grab his stockbrokers?

Well, of course it bothers me.

But, I mean, it's not like it's a
longshoreman's bar, you know?

Grinders is a decent place.

Oh, yeah, real decent.

Look, the house is almost done.

Oh, come on!

And when it is, we'll have enough time to
talk about staying or moving or whatever.

We'll talk about anything you want to talk
about.

Come on.

I need some time here, Em.

You grew up here.

How much time do you need?

Look, I promise I will go back to the
office when I am ready.

I promise you.

But I need the time.

I'm sorry.

There's nothing I can say except I'm
sorry.

So what do you say?

You got a little spare time for me?

Oh, tighter.

Do you love me?

I fuck you, don't I?

What?

Where'd you go?

I can't stop thinking about your husband.

I can't stop thinking about your husband.

Just do me a favor, huh?

Think about us.

Get me out of this.

Why doesn't the guy just give you a
divorce?

Jesus, I ask him all the time.

I know, I know, I know.

He's just scared, you know?

Everything just scares him.

I've done a lot of things.

But murder.

I'm going crazy, you know?

He's

destroying my life.

The hustle load is worth over a million.

We don't got to do it.

We don't need his money.

Yes, we do.

What?

What?

What?

What the fuck?

Come on.

Wait a fuck.

Look, I had a couple of tricks just to
calm down.

God damn you.

No one's gonna believe this.

Look, he's on the edge.

Everybody knows that.

So what?

I'll do it.

I'll do it.

Hey, Mom, what are you doing?

Todd...

Somebody's here.

I was gonna go check.

Now?

Oh, God, who the hell could that be?

I don't know, but you better go down.

Okay.

Okay, Annie.

Just wait here.

Be careful.

I will.

What the fuck do we do now?

Jesus, I'm

down the trellis.

Who's there?

Take it easy, tough guy.

Give up?

Uh-huh.

Burke!

You should've taken me, sport.

I've been driving all night.

Burke!

We tried to find you.

Yeah.

I got a few letters.

I said you already knew.

What about that?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I tried to get back, man.

There's just nothing I could do,
you know?

It was six months ago, Burke.

Oh, hi, Emily.

Nice to see you, too.

You here long?

I just got here.

Todd, be a sweetie and straighten up the
room for Burke.

Sure, babe.

I got it.

I mean, it's okay.

I got it.

Well, uh...

I'll see you two in the morning.

Well, it doesn't change it.

Your dad would be glad that you're back.

Yeah, and you never change either.

We both know that's bullshit, right?

So, uh, she got you doing the dishes,
too?

Only when we eat.

Look, Burke.

There's a lot going on between me
and Emily that you don't know about, but.

..

we're working on it.

So, anybody show up for the funeral?

I mean, yeah, lots of people.

Where did he bury it?

A forest lawn.

He bought a pot for the whole family about
three years ago.

Remember?

Did you tell him?

Tell me what?

What, what, what?

What's the big secret here?

Are you pregnant, Todd?

What?

Right before Dad died, our business was
not doing very well.

The sales were down.

And...

Dad died so suddenly...
No excuses, Todd.

Remember?

Dr. Powers?

I've got to tell him what happened.

Um...

I locked myself in the garage.

And I started the car.

And just kind of sat back.

Do you understand?

Jesus, man, that's crazy.

I know, I know.

I mean, that's what my drinks is.

Lucky for me, though, the car ran out of
gas.

Yes.

And...

There's another reason.

She's, uh...

She's sleeping with someone else.

I thought you said things were okay.

They said that we were working on it.

Enjoying yourself?

Beach TV.

Oh, what the hell?

It's not like you haven't seen me before.

Gee, Emily.

Looks like your ass is sagging.

The hell it is.

Nothing's changed.

Yeah, you're probably right.

Okay, I'll bite.

Meaning?

Meaning, what are you doing to him?

He did it to himself, remember?

I mean, he worships you, you know?

You treat him like shit.

I treat him just fine.

Yeah.

It made you pretty damn comfortable,
too.

Burke, I'm a cocktail waitress.

If he would sell the goddamn house,
we might be comfortable.

If he was back at work, we might be
comfortable.

And if he would stand on his own goddamn
feet, we might be comfortable.

Yeah.

That's a lot of ifs.

And if inheritances were community
property, things would be comfortable.

Up on the law, are we?

Look.

If you're doing anything to hurt him,
you stop.

Or what?

Go ahead.

I won't feel it.

I don't feel anything anymore.

Even when I fuck your brother.

Ah!

One Halloween, I guess I was eight or
nine.

And I was dressed as a soldier.

You know, in the camouflage fatigues and
the little rifle, the whole bit.

And these two older kids
were riding around the

neighborhood on their
bicycles throwing eggs.

You know, Halloween.

So one of them sees me.

And he just launches an egg right at my
head.

And it hits me smack right in the helmet.

So, of course, I'm crying and I run home.

Actually, I was pretty terrified.

And Burke's there.

So I tell him what happened.

And he's just sitting there listening,
quietly.

And then, the next night, I come home and
the kid who threw the egg and hit me.

He's sitting there on the couch.

And he's got his arm in this cast.

This huge cast goes all the way up to his
shoulder.

And the kid's father's there too.

I'll never forget being up in my room.

And... I was in bed.

And downstairs, I can hear Burke just
getting reamed by my dad.

And by the kid's father.

I think they grounded him for something
like eight years.

You know, or something like that.

I know he was really stung by it too.

Especially someone like Burke.

But I also know that he never regretted
doing it.

I mean, even today
when we talk about it, he

still has this little smile
about it, you know.

He's still glad that he did it.

Do you remember how you felt?

Pretty good, actually.

Can you tell me why?

Because...

Revenge is sweet, you know.

Yes, but you didn't exact this revenge.

Your brother did.

Yeah, well, I guess I just felt that that
was, you know, good enough for me.

Sounds like you've got a fiercely loyal
brother.

How do you feel about him being home
again?

Well, it's great, you know.

I mean, it's great having him back home.

I mean...

Why wouldn't it be?

Is that why you told me the story?

I don't know.

What?

I just wondered if
perhaps you want your

brother to help you with
your problems at home.

With Emily?

Well, what if he could?

I mean, I don't see any harm in that,
you know.

You still haven't tried the direct
approach.

I think you should try that first.

Ask.

Yeah, but what if she lies?

Well, she won't.

She will.

You can't for sure.

Fair quick make sure.

What do you mean by that?

I don't know.

Looks like the sea air did wonders for
your appetite.

Bullshit.

No, I mean it.

Tell that a little.

It's called working out, not filling out.

Oh.

Whatever.

Yeah, whatever.

Listen...

Sorry.

Go ahead.

What were you going to say?

Does it make you uncomfortable?

Hey.

Let it go.

Great.

Hear it again.

If you ask me, shrinks are full of shit.

You know, you sound just like Dad when you
say that.

Well, we're here.

I mean, what's going on, Todd?

Dad left me the house.

He left Burke something, too.

Your legacy.

Two hundred and forty thousand dollars.

From Dad to you.

Dad didn't leave me anything.

Well, he left it for both of us.

What the hell is this?

It's a lot of money.

What do you think?

You mean to tell me this has been here the
whole time?

Well, yeah.

Listen, you can't touch this.

This is rainy day money.

Well, wake up.

It's raining, you son of a bitch!

I think you better hold on to that.

Hey, I got two keys here.

Why don't you take one of the keys,
okay?

All right.

Hi.

Yeah, it's okay.

I'll see you then.

Excuse me.

Can we get some service?

Yeah, I'll get your waitress.

Sometime today.

Hey, listen.

You know, if you can spare the time, you've
got some very thirsty customers back there.

Look, just two minutes, okay?

Can you cover for me?

Yeah, like you did for me when I wanted to
take off last Thursday.

Forget it.

Hey, Jacinda, would you just lighten up,
huh?

Just lighten up.

You know, if I were you, I'd demand a
reason for this.

Listen.

Forget about it.

Listen, I'm serious about it.

I'm serious.

Goddamnit.

What the fuck?

What the fuck?

Hey, watch it.

Excuse me.

It's good.

Thanks, man.

It's getting there.

Here, take this.

Jeez, man, where'd you get this?

It's America, kid.

Everybody's got the right.

What's it for?

I mean, do you realize what you just did?

Gave a gun to a guy who tried to kill
himself.

My shrink would probably have some kind of
Freudian shit fit.

You scare her with it.

You put that barrel to
her lion head, tell her if

she goes out on you
again, you'll pull a trigger.

Why?

What are you talking about?

Todd...

A woman's screwing some guy.

I'm sorry, man.

Burke, when I told you that, you know,
I didn't know.

I mean, it was just a feeling.

Just a feeling I had, that's all.

It's true.

I followed her last night.

Fuck, man.

Who asked you to do that, huh?

She's no good, man.

She never was.

I gotta get her back.

Why?

Well, then you gotta do something.

I mean, you can't let her screw you over
like this.

You gotta do something.

I'll work on it.

Yeah, sure.

You know, I was reading in the paper today
that there's this new movie out.

It's kind of like an old-fashioned love
story.

Apparently, it's a three-hanky job.

I was thinking maybe the three of us could
go down and maybe check it out.

I mean, it's right down in the corner.

So, we'll probably make an early show.

What do you see?

Nah.

I'm not really in the mood.

Well, how about you, hon?

I mean, it's your only night off.

Let's take advantage of it.

I can't have to work.

What do you mean?

Well, I promised him I'd come before him.

You know, I really wanted to see you
tonight.

And I can't believe that you just went and
did this.

Did what?

Work?

You two don't even get along and yet
you're covering for her?

That was last week.

Hi there.

Can I get you some?

Is Emily working tonight?

It's a night off.

It's a night off.

Say, pal, that's 6.50.

Get out of my way.

I don't think you've heard me,
pal.

I'm talking to you.

You, two...

What?

Bingo.

Bark!

Well, you got a lot of balls, Emily.

I'll give you that.

No, you got a lot of balls, man,
busting in here like this.

Get the fuck out or I'll call the cops.

Just give it a rest, okay?

Emily, get dressed.

Stay put.

You're way out of line, man.

She's a big girl.

She's not even your wife.

So fuck you what?

Emily, get your clothes on and say goodbye
now.

And don't you ever try to see her again.

You understand me, you piece of shit?

Put the gun down.

We've talked this whole thing out.

Please, Burke, put the gun down.

Put the gun down, Burke.

What are you doing?

Does it look like asshole?

No!

No!

Oh, my God!

Please.

Please what?

God damn it!

All right.

Go get some trash bags and some towels.

What makes you think I won't go to the
cops?

Because I'll kill you.

Are you done?

Then help.

Come on.

Come on, open it.

Hurry up!

All right.

Get in your car.

And follow me.

Now.

He's awake.

Go up there and keep him busy.

What?

Well, you want to see this?

Get going.

Go.

Go.

Did they wake you?

No.

No, not really, honey.

I'm sorry they kept me late tonight.

Babe, I think I'm going to get some water.

No.

No, no.

Stay here.

Why?

What are you... What are you.

..

What's going on?

I thought I heard somebody breaking in.

It was me, God damn

it!

Jesus, Burke!

I'm sorry, it was dark.

I mean, what the hell is she doing up at
this hour anyway?

You could have killed her, you idiot!

You okay, honey?

Don't come down here.

Just go to bed.

I'll be up soon, okay?

What were you doing down there?

Oh, just leave me the fuck alone!

I'm sorry.

Just go to bed, okay?

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Hello?

Is anybody here?

Is anybody here?

Is anybody here?

We're not open yet.

Yeah, well, um...

I'm looking for somebody.

Aren't we all?

Yeah, well, um...

Some of us have better luck than others.

What's up?

You know him?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah?

Liquid lips.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's all right?

Is he a friend of yours?

Well, yeah.

Well, I used to think he was.

Hmm.

Well, he wasn't here last week.

Yeah, it's last time I saw him.

Last week.

You know him?

Yeah, you know, I do know a woman that
he's left with a couple times before.

She works here.

Yeah.

Why don't I give you her home address?

Right.

You're very tense.

Now he thinks I'm having an affair with
Burke.

What makes him think that?

Well, there's a history.

Look, Burke and I were together years ago.

We had a thing.

But that was it.

It didn't last.

Although I know he wishes it would've.

Don't you think that could be adding fuel
to the fire?

I can't change the past.

Yes, but you can make it irrelevant.

You don't think I'm trying to help?

No, I didn't say that.

Don't you think Todd's state of mind is
obvious?

Did he tell you about his latest little
episode?

No, I'm not sure what.

He blew up again.

Smashed a vase.

I'm afraid of him.

I keep wondering if I'm safe.

Hey.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm Adele.

Adele Rogers.

Hi.

Hold on a sec.

Todd Morrow.

Hi.

Nice job.

Oh, thanks.

What are you doing?

Laying a sprinkler system, actually.

I think that's really important,
you know.

Amanda would be good with his hands
and... Can I help you with anything?

Yes.

I'm looking for, um...

an, uh...

Emily Morrow.

Is this her house?

Yes, it is.

Gee, she must serve one hell of a drink.

I'm sorry.

It's kind of a long story, you know.

I've got time.

Okay.

I inherited it.

Could you step to me?

Oh, yeah.

End of story.

That's really cute.

You're a cute rich guy that's almost as
good as being excellent with your hands.

So, um... Is she here?

No.

She's not.

No?

She's supposed to be, but...

I don't know where she is.

What do you want to speak to my wife
about?

Oh, too.

It's a mutual friend.

You know, I think maybe I could get a
drink.

I'm just...

parched.

Uh... You look like you
could use one yourself.

All right.

So, that's when I took the bus out here.

And then, the first guy I met was this
pimp.

His name was Jules.

And I figured, you know, if I was ever
gonna hook, it would not be for a low-life

scum like him, you know.

No.

No class.

So then...

I started to do telephone sales.

That's when you wake up really early in
the morning, like six or five.

And you sell people... You try to
sell them all across the country.

Fifty rooms of computer paper.

And... Oh, that's such a drag.

And that's when I started my acting class.

I became another young hopeful in the
dirty orange.

Talk about banging your head against the
wall.

Then, the next thing is I met Darcy.

Darcy Downers, my next-door neighbor.

That's a mutual friend, right?

Yeah.

What's his story?

Well, girl meets boy next door.

Girl, um...

Gives boy 500 bucks.

Oh, girl loses boy and I guess the 500
bucks.

Probably got tooted up his nose.

Boy, I find the assholes.

So, Todd, do you do this all yourself?

Oh, yeah.

It's, uh... It's great therapy.

Did you buy this stuff?

No, it belonged to my parents.

You know, I've really got great taste.

I could be your interior decorator.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

Well, uh...

I'll think about it.

Nah, you will not.

I don't know.

Maybe I will.

What the hell happened to you guys?

What's with you?

I mean, what's with me?

I wanted to know where you were.

I was worried.

You didn't say we were having company,
Todd.

Oh, I'm not exactly company.

Well, not exactly.

Who are you?

Oh, I'm sorry, honey.

This is Adele Rogers.

And that's my wife, Emily, and my brother,
Burke.

Oh, you guys, uh... You guys
don't look at all like brothers.

Oh, I know.

My dad always said that Burke strongly
resembled our milkman.

Oh, honey, uh, Adele's here to see you.

I better put these things away.

You wanted to see me?

Why?

Um... Oh, honey, apparently
you know someone named Darcy.

Yeah, Darcy, Darcy Daniels.

He's my next-door neighbor.

Okay, he's my boyfriend and he's missing.

And...

At least I think he is.

He's disappeared.

Do you know him?

No.

No, no.

Why are you asking me?

Well, waitress down at Grindr's.

She thought you knew him.

I know.

Lots of guys are coming to the bar.

I don't necessarily know where they go
after they leave.

I'm sorry, but,
um... I don't know.

Cynda said she thought he was a friend of
yours or something.

Was his name Darcy?

Yeah.

Darcy Daniels.

You know, I never even asked him his name.

He walked me to my car one night.

And he was a perfect gentleman.

That doesn't sound like the Darcy I know.

Well, maybe it depends on the woman.

Yeah.

So, you don't know?

No.

But I hope you find him.

Thanks.

Uh, if you, um...

If you see him, will you give me a call?

Todd.

Think about my offer, okay?

I got great taste.

Alright, um...

Bye.

Bye.

Offer?

Oh, to decorate the house.

How can you let a wacko like that in this
house?

I thought what she had to say was pretty
interesting.

Todd, the woman practically accused me of
having an affair with this guy.

I heard.

Yeah, and?

What are you thinking, Todd?

Todd?

Hey.

I love you.

His name is Darcy.

Who?

A guy who was fucking my wife.

I also met this woman, Adele.

Darcy was screwing her, too.

Real discriminating guy.

Well, anyway, guess what?

He's missing.

I don't understand.

I was right, and you were wrong.

Get it?

I mean, it's so painfully clear that you
don't understand what's going on.

This is so useless.

Todd, Emily says that she loves you and
that she's been faithful to you.

She says that she's been trying to help
you.

From what I've heard, I'd have to go with
that.

Emily says?

Well, it's no wonder you've had trouble
believing me.

You've taken her side from the start.

I mean, did it ever occur to you,
maybe, just maybe, she might be lying?

No, huh?

So much for objectivity, huh?

I try to be objective.

The truth is everything to me.

Otherwise, I'd be useless to you.

You know, you're always talking about
wanting the truth.

You want to hear the truth?

Okay.

I'll get you the fucking truth.

What are you doing in here?

Put your laundry away.

We have to talk.

About what?

Aren't you a little worried about that,
Adele?

She's just on a fishing trip.

Burke, we could both go to jail.

Jail's not so bad.

You haven't seen it too long.

What do you want me to do?

You want me to kill her?

It should be easy for you.

Friend, we understand not one another.

I am too courtly, and thou art too
cunning.

At whose request do these men play?

Todd!

That's toot indeed, sir.

Marry, sir, if you
request... Hey!

God, you made it.

I sounded no-requity wavered Shakespeare's
shit, but... What's happening?

I put a hell in a Troy.

You sure look like the real thing to me.

Oh, yeah, right.

That's right.

A little slut.

That's all fucking Trojan War.

Shakespeare gives a word.

From the prince's point.

Fair humiland.

And to this fair company, fair desires in
all fair measure fairly guide them.

Especially to you, fair queen.

Fair thoughts be your fair pillow.

Let thy song be love.

This love will undo us all.

O Cupid, Cupid, Cupid.

And that breeds hot blood.

And hot blood begets hot thoughts.

And hot thoughts begets hot deeds.

And hot deeds is love.

Yea.

What he shall receive of us in duty Gives
us more palm and beauty than we have.

Yea.

Overshines ourself.

Sweet.

Above thought I love thee.

Let's eat.

Have a good one.

Come on, this is fine.

Have a good one.

Come on, this is fine.

You want some broccoli?

No, thanks.

I want to talk to you about Darcy.

Oh, don't be so serious all the time.

You get little frown lines and you look
all before your time.

Unless there's little
tidbits like moi won't

be considering a night
of safe sex with you.

What are you talking about?

Okay, so you're married, but you see,
I don't sleep with guys in show business.

So, when I meet a nice guy, I don't like
to waste time.

I see.

So you think I'm a nice guy.

Is that it?

Yea.

Probably too nice.

Don't you want to find Darcy?

I mean, don't you care where your money
is?

Five hundred dollars was a cheap lesson,
Todd.

And the subject.

I don't understand why you're so reluctant
to talk about it.

Why don't you ask your brother?

Can I get you guys anything else?

No, I'm fine.

Are you sure?

No, I'm fine, thanks.

Burke?

What does he have to do with it?

Because I saw him.

I saw him at Darcy's place the day before
Darcy disappeared.

You saw my brother over at Darcy's house?

It was bad karma on that guy, man.

I also... I also saw him at Granger's next
night.

Are you sure?

Yea, I'm sure.

He made mud puddle out of some bouncer
work, sir.

Yeah, that sounds like Burke.

A guy like him is capable of anything.

Am I right?

Oh, that's just a big joke.

Burke, I can't keep this up.

Keep what up?

The good wife game.

Oh, you're doing pretty good.

At least Todd thinks so.

This can't last.

Sooner or later he's gonna realize it.

You know, Todd said you two are working at
your marriage.

Work harder.

I don't love him.

I love you.

No, you don't.

Yes, I do.

Let's just leave.

We've got plenty of money.

Shh!

How long, Burke?

How long can I keep this up?

Does it till death do us part and ring any
bells?

Please, hurry.

With all these channels, there's never
anything decent on them.

Besides, a little... messy.

But, what can you do?

Hey, what did you mean about it being a
joke?

What?

You know, back at the cafe.

You said you thought this whole thing was
a big joke.

What did you mean?

Oh, the Adele Rogers theory of life as we
know it.

You know, it's kinda like that plan,
man.

You know, that's all life really is about,
is sex and money.

Do you, um...

Any rubbers?

I think I should probably go.

Todd!

Todd!

Don't.

Please.

I... I'm just a little
nervous, that's all.

I'm...

Could you sit down?

Because I need to talk to you about
something.

Okay, I'm not, uh...

Exactly sure how to...

Say this.

So... I'm just gonna...

Say it.

Todd, I think... Emily, um...

Was planning on having you killed.

What?

Listen to me.

Dorsey really had a
lot of trouble keeping

his mouth shut, especially
when he had a few.

And towards the end he
was getting real nervous

and he was, you know,
getting blitzed a lot.

Jesus.

Talking like he's dead or something.

Anyway, one night he got
really juiced, he let it kinda slip,

he was seeing this married
woman, really kinky married woman.

I kicked him in the nuts really hard.

Naturally he got my drift, he
said he'd pay my 500 bucks

back as soon as they got
hold of the husband's money.

Pretty dirty business, huh?

See, I don't... I don't
think they were expecting

to have the husband
around to watch him spend it.

I sure can pick him.

So your boyfriend told you this,
right?

Yeah.

Well that doesn't mean that it was Emily.

Well, the money was tied up in some big
old house in Hancock Park.

The husband won't steal it.

Was there any particular reason why you
didn't go to the police?

Yeah, I mean, well it was kinda iffy thing
to go to the police with.

I mean, he disappeared.

Then I meet you guys and it all starts to
make sense.

You know, I don't even know why I should
be surprised.

No matter how bad things might be at home,
no one expects to get killed for it.

I believe you, let's go!

Hey.

Wake up.

What?

Wake up.

Come on, we're going to my house.

What?

Absolute!

Do you really think the darkness of the
body is under here?

Look.

This is the only way to find out.

Put the flashlight over there.

Shine the light over there.

Over there.

It's blood.

I think it's blood.

Make sure.

Yes, again.

Please.

No!

What

the fucking thunder you have?

Where are you going?

You just leave me alone!

What are you doing out here?

Thinking.

About what?

Love.

Love, huh?

Topic.

What a waste of time.

Yeah.

Guess so.

Where were you last night?

I went to see Adele Rogers.

You know what she told me?

She told me...

that Emily...

and this fucking night, Darcy...

were planning on killing me.

No.

Don't say no, man.

No.

I don't believe it.

What do you mean you don't believe it?

I know!

They were trying to fucking kill me!

All Emily wanted was the money.

Can you believe that?

I mean, when it comes down to it,
all she had to fucking do was ask.

She's fucked up, man.

She's sick.

You better just get rid of her.

Oh, just get rid of her?

Yeah, just fucking
get... That's the solution?

That's what I should fucking do?

Yeah, just fucking lose her.

Get rid of her, man.

Yeah, just like you did to Darcy,
right?

Look...

Whatever I did, I did for you.

Okay?

No, man.

I don't think so.

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

You didn't do it for me!

You did it for yourself!

Not for me!

Man, you don't get it, do you?

I won't do anything for you!

And you know what happens?

I end up owing you for the rest of my
fucking life!

Bullshit!

I'm your brother, man!

I'm your blood!

Who else is there to take care of you?

Yeah, well, you know, I think I can handle
it, okay?

How?

By sucking on a tailpipe?

That's your way.

Just stay out of it, alright?

Just do me a favor and just stay the fuck
out of it, alright?

I'm getting out of here.

Well, don't forget to top off your tang
next time, huh?

You know you were a fuck up when you were
a kid, you're still a fuck up!

Get up!

I warned you.

I didn't do anything!

Yeah, you were going to though,
weren't you?

You were gonna kill him?

I wanted to, he'd be dead already!

You're no good bitch!

Give me one good reason to squeeze a
worthless life out of you!

I love you, Perk!

You're so full of shit!

How about a little mini session,
huh?

Like a little quickie.

Ready?

Go!

What's happened?

I finally got it!

Don't you see?

Emily wanted my money and she was ready to
kill me to get it!

Todd, you're under a lot of stress.

What's the matter, afraid I'm gonna kill
myself?

Of course not, what makes you say such a
thing?

How the fuck could you do this to me?!

By the way, about Emily's imaginary lover,
here's a little souvenir for you.

Uh, yes, police please.

Emily?

Uh, yes, this is Terence Powers.

I need to see you immediately.

It's very important.

Yes.

Okay.

...in four months.

Ah, come on.

I gave you some just last week,
in the store.

Shit!

Who is it?

Where have you been?

I'm trying to get in touch with you all
day.

I've had the fun out of the hook.

I'm trying to sleep.

No luck.

It's to be expected when one finds a dead
body.

You haven't told anyone, have you?

No.

Look, I don't want you to say anything,
okay?

For my sake, or for my brother's.

Okay, Todd, what am I supposed to do?

Don't do anything.

I mean, just lay low until everything
settles.

Come on, help me out here, Adele.

Well, I've been thinking a lot about it,
Todd.

And I can help you out, if you help me
out.

Well, what do you need?

I'm kind of broke right now.

I could use a loan.

How much?

Mm, ten grand.

Ten thousand dollars.

Are you kidding me?

You know, I think it's very reasonable,
considering what I've been through.

Well, what if I can't get it?

Todd, please, just say yes.

Please.

All right, you got it.

Thanks for everything.

I came as soon as I could.

What's wrong?

Sit down.

This is Darcy's finger, isn't it?

Who?

Don't lie to me anymore.

You know what you need?

A good shrink!

Either you talk to me, or I call the
police.

Why haven't you called them already?

I'm not sure.

Maybe I should have.

But you didn't.

What do you want to know?

Well, now I know about you and Darcy,
I'd like to know why.

He was, uh...

He was new and different.

He showed a lot of interest.

And Burke stopped the affair?

Burke found us together.

He, uh...

He beat Darcy up.

And then he cut off his finger.

And told him to stay as far away from me
as he could.

Or it's less of something else.

Darcy went.

So it's all over.

I'm not trying to judge you.

I just want you to tell me the truth.

Burke was going to hurt me too.

So I fucked him.

It's the only way I know.

All those lies.

Look.

I'm sorry.

I admire you.

You didn't judge me.

You treated me like a person.

I didn't want you to think I was...

what I am.

You were also lying to me about Todd's
mental condition, weren't you?

He wanted to kill himself.

Maybe in the beginning, but our sessions
together were good.

He wasn't morose or violent.

He never talked to me about suicide.

You sabotaged him using me.

Please.

Help me.

You'll do anything you want.

Please.

I'd be an even bigger fool if I'd let you
use me again.

Me again.

Who are you calling?

Put that down!

I've asked you to help me!

I want the police.

I want the police.

Where are you going?

Anywhere.

Take me with you.

No!

You prick!

I earned that money.

You're not a...

Give me the gun.

You want it?

You want to kill me?

Me.

That's why you're leaving.

You've already fucked your brother's wife.

So what does it matter?

Hi honey.

Is dinner ready yet?

Please stop it!

Stay down!

Stay down!

Kill me!

I'm sorry.

Fuck you!

Get the hell out, man.

I said get out now!

Sure you want to do this?

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Cure it again.

Cure it again.

You okay?

Uh, it's uh...

It's alright.

I don't have the money.

I don't want your money, Todd.

I...

I...

I'm not a dirty person.

Hear me?

I'm sorry.

I finally meet some guy I care about,
and I'm blackmailing him.

I'm sorry, I was wrong, okay?

Can I just please, can I come in?

No, I don't think that's a good idea.

I mean, there is more to life than sex and
money, isn't there, Todd?

There has to be.

Look, this just isn't a good time,
you know.

Maybe some other time.

Goodbye.

Be down.

We want to get away from here.

As far as we can.

You ever been to Tahiti?

No.

We can go there.

Dream.

Well, uh... We can
do anything we want.

I wanted everything to be alright,
that's what I wanted.

Everything is alright.

No, you went too far.

Me?

What about you?

It's all gonna catch up with us.

Slow down, Vern.

No!

What are you doing, Vern?

No!

No!

No!

No!

Look at this place.

Maybe I should get a decorator.
