Hmm.

I got home from work early. Did I scare you?

No.

You scaredy cat.

How's dinner? Is it done?

Almost. I'm starving. Let's go.

It's okay.

Maybe you got something all over your face. And that was so worth it.

Did I get it?

That's good enough.

Wow.

What's the occasion?

Happy anniversary.

I'm kidding.

Happy anniversary.

Did you really think I'd forgotten?

I don't know.

Why don't you close your eyes?

I still got your hand.

Okay.

It's open.

It's a... It's a rock.

Oh, it's a tiny piece of the Alps.

I'm going to take you there on a trip next month or whenever, but there's this

incredible climb.

Why does your face look like that?

I'm... What?

What? I thought you were going to propose.

Mel.

Five years, Carter.

Five years we've been together and you don't even know that I hate heights.

I thought it would be fun.

Geez, Mel, you used to run marathons. I used to dream I'd be able to keep up

with you, and now it's like... What?

I'm bored.

You're bored?

No, no.

We're happy.

We're not happy? Oh, my.

Mel, okay, you once blindfolded me and drove to San Francisco for dinner, and

now you are literally making a roast.

But I... For you.

For you.

I have supported you for five years. Our entire relationship has always been

defined by what you want.

What do you want, Mel?

I want to stop living in limbo.

And if I seem lost to you from what I was, well, maybe that's because you've

never given me any indication that this is going anywhere.

Maybe you're right.

Maybe this isn't going anywhere.

What? No, I can't do this.

And before you start feeling sorry for yourself, I want you to know that you

hurting me, by the way. Is that a fact?

Yes.

I still love you.

What's my favorite color?

Blue.

Get out.

It's been a week.

Well,

according to Cosmo's breakup calendar, this could take as long as two and a

years. Well, I don't have two and a half years, so I don't care what Cosmo's

breakup calculator says.

This is vile. Wow.

Well, it's good for you, so suck it up.

Aww. You look so pretty in this photo.

Oh, sweet. You look pretty in every photo.

Thanks. Mm -hmm.

Well, so do you. I mean, you look amazing in these photos. So beautiful,

strong, purposeful.

Carter was dead weight.

I know.

You get to decide who you want to be. Not him, not anybody else, okay?

I know, I know, but he was right, though.

He was. I've just, I've become so small.

It's like I don't even know who I am anymore, who I was.

Okay, well, who you were was not perfect, but she wasn't, you know,

wine at 4 p .m., house hunting down memory lane.

Oh, okay, fine. I will indulge you for one minute.

You look gorgeous in this photo.

Who took that? It wasn't me. It was probably one of the thousands of guys

are madly in love with you.

Yeah, please.

All right, listen, you beautiful sad sack.

Here's what we're going to do.

You're going to get off the couch. You're going to put away those

You're going to stop listening to Boney Bear's early work. And you're going to

come to the gym with me.

No, I hate the gym. You're a track and field record holder. You do not hate the

gym. Yeah, that was in college. And I do hate the gym. They're like playgrounds

that are not fun.

Well, then make it fun.

Bring a friend.

Enter me.

No more wasting time.

No more wasting time.

Cheers.

You are going to love this place.

I sincerely doubt that. Why? It's very expensive.

Is it, like, expensive?

No, it's, like, the place to be. It's where all the rich guys work out.

Hi, how's it going? Um, could I please have one gas pass?

Yeah.

Amy, I didn't even recognize you. Hi.

How are the kids?

Great. Good. Oh, you guys changed your logo.

It's so much better than the last one. The last one was like a little chintzy.

Totally agree. That's cute.

So fun, right?

To the left, to the right, to the left, to the left. Rocky, Rocky.

You doing okay, Mel?

Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

How did you know my name?

I saw your name on the guest list when your friend signed you in.

Oh, right.

Right. I'm Trey.

I'm one of the trainers here.

Right, nice to meet you. You too.

How you doing? Doing okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, no, I just feel a little out of my depth.

Look, I remember my first time here. I was so nervous I nearly had a panic

attack.

And believe me, you're in...

Much better shape than I was.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Listen, I'd hate for you to have a bad first impression of the gym.

Can I offer you a free session?

There's no strings attached, I promise.

I don't know.

No pressure.

Why don't you just make yourself comfortable, and I'll get you a bottle

water.

Okay. Yeah? Yeah, thank you. You're welcome.

Oh.

OMG. Who is that?

He's a trainer.

He offered me a free session.

Hmm. Um, yes.

If that wasn't times, yes. You should obviously train with him and, you know,

sleep with him, get married, maybe have children.

No, no, no, no, no. I just got out of a serious relationship like five minutes

ago.

Anyway, I don't think he's attracted to me.

Oh. Oh.

Okay. Yeah.

Your radar is clearly broken, so I'm going to go.

But, uh, you enjoy your training session.

This is the sparring area.

Excellent cardio.

A lot more fun than the elliptical.

You don't mind me asking what brought you to the gym in the first place?

My excruciatingly upbeat friend.

Yeah, I saw her.

Yeah. And my stupid ex.

Oh, exes. Yeah. Okay, so we will definitely be using this area.

Yeah.

Come on. A lot more space to follow me.

One more. Come on. You got this. You got this.

Stay focused.

Good.

Excellent work.

Good job.

Thanks.

So, how do you feel?

Good. Good? Good, yeah. Surprised.

I didn't expect to be signing up for gym membership and definitely not personal

training. Well, you will not be disappointed.

I promise.

Thank you for encouraging me.

You're welcome.

Tell you what. Just sign right there.

That's it.

Congratulations, Miss Barrett. You are officially a card -carrying gym member.

Yay! There you are.

Oh, hey.

Hi. Don't gloat. I just signed up for a personal training package.

Nice. And Trey's my trainer. Very nice.

People must tell you all the time that you look familiar.

I did a community charity calendar last year, so that's probably it.

I'll be Googling that later.

Tell you what, why don't you come back in tomorrow morning and we'll do all

intro procedures and stuff.

I promise it's not as scary as it sounds.

It was very nice to meet you.

Lastly.

Yes, that's right.

Bye. You were so lucky.

I'm so proud of you.

It's a gym membership, not a placer.

Yeah, but you did it, and you're doing something. You're creating something,

your new trainer is hot.

Don't be weird. Well, not noticing would be weird.

Well, it's a professional thing, so if anything, his vibe will be like a

brother.

Yeah, an extremely hot brother who's not related to you.

Okay.

In that case, I think you should date him. Do not tempt me.

I got you an extra set.

Thank you, Chloe.

Excellent. Go ahead and take a break.

Do you

see

anything you like?

Absolutely.

Yeah, this is a nice piece.

Yeah.

Antonio Gutierrez.

He's young, totally bizarre.

A genius.

It's called Chrysalis.

You can see the rough alternating layers to the paint.

Coherent, but the texture's a bit of a riot.

The artist says he believes in error because beauty is not found in... Not

perfection, but the artistry of imperfection.

You know his work?

Yes.

The artist graduated from his MFA program a month ago.

You just let me babble on like I was introducing him to you. Like you just

wandered in off the street. I did just wander in off the street, but yes, I

his work.

I was just enjoying watching you do yours.

How mad am I, by the way?

Melissa.

Melissa.

Pleasure. Hopefully I'll see you around here again.

You can count on it.

Right on the gallery.

Don't look so scared.

All this assessment intro stuff is for you.

To track your results moving forward, okay?

Let me grab a quick picture.

Sorry.

It's a progress photo.

All that before and after nonsense.

You don't have to do it if you don't want to.

Are you going to post it?

I keep them in a photo album, in a bin, in my desk. No one's ever going to see

them. Okay?

Okay. Okay?

Two seconds. Ready?

Great.

Easy.

Okay.

So let's talk about your fitness goals.

You got any?

Ever since I was a little girl, I've wanted to do a pull -up without any

Unassisted? Yes, but then where you push yourself all the way up so you're

completely upright.

A muscle -up.

It's a very epic move.

Only 1 % of people are actually capable of doing that move.

Oh, wow.

Wow. Okay. A muscle -up.

I love it.

Okay, so...

We have the perfect goal.

Now we need to set a date.

I recommend six weeks.

It's ambitious, but if you are willing to commit, I think we can do it.

Six weeks.

Okay. Okay. I'm 100 % committed, whatever it will take to reach my goal.

Yeah? Yeah.

Excellent.

I'm excited.

Let's do it.

All right. So, the way this works is that you are going to do a pull -up just

how you normally would.

Just like normal? Yeah. Uh -huh. Okay. It's been a while.

Like ten years. Ten years. Good. Okay. So, the machine is going to help by

supplementing your weight.

It's going to make it easier.

Easier? Yeah.

Easier. Okay. Are you ready?

You're good.

Give it a go.

That's all right. That's supposed to happen. That's supposed to happen? Yes.

Okay. All right. Now as you pull up, shoulder blades back, and you're

a tennis ball right there. You feel that? Yeah. All right. Go.

Good.

Okay, good.

Let's try one more.

All right? Okay.

Good.

That was a great first attempt, all right?

You're not going to be perfect right out of the gate.

But eventually, I'll get you on that.

Are you kidding me? That's a skyscraper.

Yes, it is.

And believe me, you will do it.

All right?

Let's try again.

Get up there.

Okay.

Okay.

Grease. I'm Wonder Woman.

Good.

So, your goal?

A muscle -up is basically two parts.

First part, the pull -ups we just did. It's your biceps, your lats, your

trapezius, everything else. Second part, mainly triceps, which dips are the

perfect exercise for that.

Get your water down.

Let's go to town.

Okay.

There we go.

All right, go for it.

Good, good.

Okay, straighten your arms, shoulders forward, chin down.

Good. Can you do one more?

Yes.

Good.

Good.

Breathe.

Excellent work, my girl.

And because you've done such a tremendous job, I got you something.

It's a fitness tracker.

Wow. Can I have your hand?

That's... That's amazing, but I... Don't worry. It's covered by the initiation

fee, all right? This tracks your calories. It tracks your sleeping

much you walk.

So that's for you.

If you give me your phone, I can set it up for you.

That's really nice of you.

Thank you so much.

You're so welcome.

Want to do some cardio?

Do I have a toy?

Absolutely not.

Then I'll do it. That's my girl.

Hey. Hey.

I think I've hit a wall.

Yeah? Yeah. How far did you run?

Uh, maybe ten minutes? Maybe.

Ten minutes?

Maybe. Okay.

There's your phone back.

Thank you. You're welcome. So let's, uh, get you out of here.

Yes, please.

Hey.

Hey. Hi.

Hey, how was your workout? It was great.

Really? Hi, Trey. So, I scouted out some of the local talent for you.

What do you think about that guy?

I think his name is Mark, and he's in marketing or something.

Oh, Mark in marketing?

What, like Trey in training?

I think you should ask him out.

Um... I'm here to work.

That's my girl.

Good job, killer.

Thank you. I'll trade you.

Do this.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Wait a minute.

What's wrong?

Is there matcha in this?

Yeah. Is that okay?

It's perfect.

I... I used to drink these obsessively when I was training in college. Really?

Yeah, I thought I was the only person who knew about matcha and protein.

It's delicious, right? Totally.

Take me back.

So good.

So, what's the deal with the bag?

No offense, but I do not think you are the right confidant for this sort of

thing.

Ow. No, I just, I think that you've probably never been dumb.

Oh, no, I've been dumped.

You want me to tell you the first story?

Yes, I do, because I do not believe you.

Okay. When I was in high school, I had a crush on this girl.

So I went to pick her up at her house, and when I got there, there was a post

-it note on her door that just said no.

Oh, you must have been hideous.

Oh, yeah, I laughed it up.

Okay, okay, so, Carter.

Carter broke up with...

The thing about Carter is that I told him that after five years, he still

know me at all.

I mean, he did, but he didn't care. I am deathly afraid of heights, and he

wanted us to go climbing in the Alps. That's bad.

What? I don't... I have an idea.

What is that? Are you up for a field trip?

I don't. It's right next door. I don't have that with me. Okay.

Let's go. Okay.

Okay. Okay.

Now, I was saving this for later in your training, but I think you need it now.

It's great for building grip strength, upper body strength, and, you know,

facing your demons.

You're stronger than you think you are, okay?

But we don't have to do this if you're not comfortable.

No, I want to.

Are you sure?

Uh -huh.

Okay.

Let's do it.

You look great.

Good. You look great.

I can't do this? Yes, you can.

I can? Yes, you can. I don't want to hear that.

You got this, Mel. I will not let you fall, all right?

You want to reach the top?

Yes. Okay, climb.

Listen to my voice. My voice only. I believe in you, Mel. You got this. I

not let you fall.

Okay.

Good job.

I can't breathe.

Hey. I can't breathe. I can't breathe. Hey, relax, okay?

Take it one handhold at a time. You got this.

Hey, Mel. She's probably with Trey.

They're next door.

At the climbing wall?

Yes, that's right.

Oh.

Okay. All right. I believe in you. You got this.

Breathe.

You got this, Mel.

Okay? Listen to my voice. My voice only, okay?

Come on, Mel. You got this.

Okay.

Bring her down, Trey, right now.

I can.

I believe in you, Mel, okay?

She has to do it now.

You got this, Mel. I believe in you.

Okay, reach that top. One more.

You got this, Mel. I believe in you.

Good job, Mel. You did it.

He could have killed you. No, he knew I could do it. I was safe the whole time.

Okay, he guessed you could do it. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

He gambled with your life. I'm sorry, how do you not see how irresponsible

was? You were the one who wanted me to take more risks.

Yeah, smart risks, not ridiculous, silly, life -threatening risks. That was

silly. That was important for me. I've been afraid of heights my entire life,

and I just did something about it. In the most dangerous way possible.

Trey knew I could do it.

He believed in me. Why can't you?

No one believes in you more than I do, okay?

You're my best friend.

I love you.

But I just, I care about you, and I don't want you to get hurt, okay?

I'm sorry I scared you.

Sorry I was kind of a bitch about it.

Welcome back.

Thank you.

So I've been thinking a lot about the last time I was here.

Oh? Yeah.

I mean, some things are just too beautiful to forget.

I'd like to buy it.

It's chrysalis.

Of course. Yes, I'll just look it up.

So it needs to stay on the wall until after the exhibition is over, but I will

have it delivered after.

Actually, I...

Prefer to pick it up.

I, uh, can't stop thinking about the gallery owner.

Well, there's a clothing night party on the 15th.

You're welcome to come.

I'd love to, but I think I have a dinner on the 15th, so I'm not sure I'd make

it. What time does it end?

Ten.

That actually works.

And when are you free?

How about Saturday?

8th? All right.

It's a date.

Bye.

Hey, Leslie.

Hey, babe. I'm so sorry to bug you.

It's not about your hot day, though I expect you till later.

Actually, what's going on?

I got a flat and I'm supposed to be at the office like yesterday.

Do you think I could trouble you for a ride?

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Hang on.

Sure. Yeah. No sweat.

You're a legend.

I'll see you soon.

Okay. Bye.

Bye.

Okay, if you can pull yourself away from the electronics for a second. We have

arrived. Well, to say thank you, I jailbroke your phone and made all the

icons into little flowers. Oh, wow, that's so invasive.

Thank you, my little tech friend. You are so welcome.

Well, I am so sorry that I made you late. I'm sure Trey will be merciful.

All right, see you.

Just clear all the math. Hey!

I am so sorry I'm late.

What happened?

Oh, Leslie just needed a ride to work.

Something with her car.

What?

Nothing. Come on, let's get started.

No, no, what is it?

It's just, I've kind of seen the thing before.

You know, someone starts to make progress, and people that have been

them, they just start to derail them in small ways. I don't know.

No, I don't think that's what's happening.

No, I'm sure you're right.

Here, before we get started, I got you a little something.

What is this? Just open it.

It's the key to the gym.

Kind of like your home away from home.

A lot of the clients have them. It's kind of like a rite of passage.

That is so cool.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Ready to get started?

Yeah. Come on. Let's go. Let's do it.

Did I tell you you look stunning?

Yes, you did.

But thank you again.

So, do you want to tell me why a great guy like you didn't already have

a date on a Saturday night?

Well, actually, I recently broke up with someone.

Yeah, I...

Kind of sworn off dating there for a while.

Until I met you.

Do you want to talk about it?

Nothing to talk about, really.

I feel like she didn't really know me after three years of being together.

How about you?

Same.

About five years.

He thought my favorite color was blue.

Purple, right?

Yeah, you've worn a little piece of it with every outfit I've seen you in so

far.

I had a really good time tonight. Yeah, I did too.

Thank you.

I really did.

I want to see you again.

Ditto.

Come on, tired girl.

What, late night?

Yes, I had a date.

Good. One more.

Ask my girl.

So, the date.

Anything serious?

I hope so.

I'm seeing him again on Saturday.

Wow. Saturday.

Moving a little fast, no?

I don't know.

I think when you see something you want, you go for it, right?

Right.

Thanks. See you next time.

Let's go with this one.

I'm stalking you.

In broad daylight at my place of business.

Brilliant.

So what time are you finished here?

Ah, never.

No, we just got this new collection and I'm... I'm freaking out.

Oh. Can I help?

How much do you know about modern silver gelatin prints?

I could bring you takeout.

Well, I can't.

Training diet.

I can cook for you.

Something healthy.

You gotta eat.

Okay.

I mean, it might be late.

Perfect.

How'd you learn how to do that?

Well, my mother packed away when I was a kid, but...

Not before she taught me how to cook.

I'm sorry.

She must have been very special.

Yeah, she was.

She really knew her way around the kitchen, and she had your sense of

What about you? How'd you get into fine art?

Well, I ran track in college, so I wanted an easy major.

Art history?

Yes.

Yeah, and then I ended up loving it.

So I was living in Brooklyn after college wearing a lot of black.

Sexy.

And I started working as an assistant in this hole -in -the -wall gallery.

I worked my way up to curator.

There really wasn't a lot else you could do with an art history degree.

I mean, unless you have a lot of money and can become a major collector, which

just didn't.

But no offense to you.

None taken.

I mean, the only reason why I have money to collect is because I started

collecting.

How did you get started?

Well, yeah, my father was a man who believed in what he could touch, what he

could understand. He didn't believe in art or music or any of that nonsense.

Anyway, when I was nine and wanted piano lessons, he gave me a subscription to

Forbes.

Exactly my reaction.

So anyway, when he passed, he left me a little bit of money and used it to buy

an early ball of the salary.

My favorite.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So why'd you keep collecting after you made your point?

I think our food's going to get cold.

I think I'm okay with that.

Damn it. That's my reminder alarm. I'm late.

Training? Yeah.

Yeah, my trainer's a bit of a stickler.

Well, maybe I should meet you at the gym sometime for a workout.

Protect you from the stickler.

I'll hold you to that.

Hey, you can hold me anytime.

Like that? Uh -huh.

Good morning.

Morning.

I need to go.

Yeah, I can't believe you're turning down the possibility of a brunch.

You are so strong.

I am so strong.

Talk soon?

Oh, yeah.

Make plans?

Absolutely.

You're not getting rid of me that easily.

Don't get too buff.

That's right. You believe in the beauty of imperfection.

Hey, Melissa.

You aren't perfect.

Trey, you scared me.

What are you doing here?

You weren't on time, so I figured you might like a nice walk to the gym this

morning.

Okay. Yeah?

Cool. Sure.

Let's go? Yeah.

Oh, here.

Made that for you.

Thank you.

Hey, Melissa, you forgot your phone.

Thanks.

Adam, this is Trey.

Trey, this is Adam.

Oh, yeah.

Heard so much about you.

Nice to meet you.

About to be mutual, I'm sure.

Well, I should get going.

Door's locked.

Enjoy your workout.

Thanks.

It's nice to meet you, man.

Yeah, you too.

Take care of her for me.

Should we go?

Definitely. I'm sorry.

I know I keep talking about Adam.

You're lagging, hon. Come on. Sorry.

No, it's not just that he's incredibly good looking.

Or that he's well educated. He's just... He's like... He's like nobody I've ever

met before.

Okay, we're going to pick up the pace.

Come on. Come on. Okay.

There we go.

And he cooks?

He's an amazing cook.

Some amazing cook.

Come on. Let me get you a bottle of water. Okay.

Thank you.

I'm just so glad you guys got to meet.

Me too.

Can

you hear me?

There she is.

Welcome back, beautiful.

Slow, slow.

Did you carry me here?

Of course I did.

You scared me passing out like that.

Sorry. No, you have nothing to be sorry about.

Sometimes you hit a couple of unexpected bumps on the road to success.

Are you okay now?

Yeah. Yeah, I think I'm... I'm okay. I'm good. Okay.

Hey.

You know I will never let anything happen to you.

Ever. Right?

Why don't you sit here for another minute, and I'll get some more ice water

that.

Okay. Good job.

So you just drop?

Yeah.

Well, you have been getting a lot of cardio lately.

So, tell me about Art Boy.

Well, actually, he hasn't really called in... A what? In like an hour?

No, in a while. I mean... You've always been so clueless about your admirers.

What admirers?

In college, you had the entire track team on lockdown because of your legs.

then there were the art geeks. And then there was that guy.

Who's that guy with the, um...

Hearts? The hearts guy.

What? The construction paper hearts guy.

He was like that weird, shy guy.

Big guy.

Come on, what was his name?

I don't remember. I don't know. What?

He would leave heart -shaped notes under our dorm room door like every day.

I can't believe you don't remember his name.

I have to go.

What?

It's early.

Well, I have to go make dinner and catalog the new exhibit, which will take

hours, mind you. And then, I don't know, I have to train in the morning.

And you can stand to miss one day.

What?

Just stop it. I have to train.

You're obsessed with training.

Well, maybe you're obsessed with derailing me.

What? I'm the one who brought you to the gym in the first place, remember?

Yeah, I do remember.

And now I'm getting back in shape, and I'm dating again, and you're over it.

you serious?

I can't believe you would say something like that.

Because you don't seem to understand that I have to train.

Because your fitness goals are not the gravitational anchor around which my

world spins.

You know, Trey said you would do this.

Oh, what?

Trey? You mean Trey who showed up at your house like a crazy person, Trey?

Sure, yeah, no, listen to him.

Not your best friend.

Totally cool.

Hey.

Hey.

You're here early.

I was just finishing up some stuff.

Oh, no worries.

You mind putting this in the cubby for me? Of course not.

I'll be out in a few.

Thanks. You're welcome.

Breathe.

Keep your breath normal.

Here, let me show you. Step down.

Okay, it's two parts, remember?

So imagine you're pulling the bar to you. When you get up, press up, all

And use your momentum.

The view's great up here.

You're going to love it.

All truly good things take time, Mel.

You okay?

Mm -hmm.

You'll get there, I promise.

Talk to me. Yeah, no, it's not just that.

I had a fight with Leslie. I basically accused her of sabotaging me.

Is she?

I don't know.

I mean...

She's always been there for me.

I don't... Like when she was there for you with Carter.

When things weren't going well.

Yeah. Yeah.

And now you're kicking ass at the gym.

Now you're seeing this guy.

Adam.

Right. Yeah.

Adam.

And you are strong as hell right now.

In my experience, friends want their friends to succeed.

They just don't want them to surpass them.

My advice is you take a 24 -hour detox from Leslie.

All right?

See how you feel.

Trust me.

Trey, please come to the reception area. Trey?

Trey, right?

Yeah. Come on in.

Shut the door behind you.

Sorry to, uh, walk and talk to him in mid -workout.

Yeah. Yeah, no problem.

It's pretty early.

What brings you by, man?

I'm here to see Mel. Is she around?

No.

This place even open?

No. Not for another half hour.

Mel is a key, though.

She said she'd meet me here, so... Maybe she forgot?

Yeah, maybe.

Her phone doesn't seem to be working.

If you like, I can tell you to stop by.

Yeah, thank you. I'd appreciate that.

Yeah.

Well, uh, I'm gonna head on out.

You know what I love about this place?

Science.

It's numbers.

Nah.

Here you dedicate yourself, put your mind to it, you can achieve whatever you

want.

It doesn't matter what you're born with.

Here, perfection is a mathematical certainty.

Okay.

Of course I heard you're more of an art guy.

Yeah, I am.

You want to do a super set?

Yeah. Why not?

Leave.

I'll spot you. Yeah.

I'm going to crack some tunes, man.

Why didn't you take the bar?

Hmm?

The bar!

Sorry, man.

Music. I didn't hear you.

Idiot.

You ready?

Mm -hmm. Okay.

So, what you want to remember is that your attacker will most likely be larger

than you.

Okay. Okay?

So get a good strong base.

Sure with the part?

Okay. Good. How's that feel?

Yeah, it feels good. Good. Okay.

Now with my arm, I'm going to reach around right under your throat.

Okay?

Keep your hips back.

All right?

Very important to stay as close to your attacker as possible.

It minimizes their counter options. All right?

And with my arm, I'm going to go under your arm.

Grab the back of your neck.

Lock out right there.

Good.

You got a piece of hair.

Good. You're doing great.

Now, grab the back of your neck. Feel that?

Uh -huh. Okay, good.

With this arm.

All right.

I'm going to grab the back of my head.

Good.

Good.

Now the next move.

Slowly turn out.

Got it.

Yeah, I got it.

What's going on?

Is it Leslie again?

No, I took your advice.

That's good.

I just haven't heard from Adam.

I'm sure he'll call.

Hey, look, if he doesn't... He's crazy.

Ready to go again?

Actually, do you mind if we just call it a day?

No. Of course not.

Hey, bro.

Yeah, no worries. I can help.

Hello?

Hello?

Who is this?

Adam?

Hey.

We don't have a session today.

Do you want to get another workout in?

No. I've been thinking about it and I...

I think I need some time away from the gym.

Why don't we do a last weigh -in?

You know, check your stats, your progress.

We'll see where you're at.

Five minutes, I promise.

Sure. Okay.

How was your weekend?

It was good.

Yeah. Did you have fun?

Mm -hmm.

Mm -hmm.

Hmm.

What's your diet been like?

Pretty normal.

You gained a pound.

Have you been taking the supplements I gave you?

Yes.

I forgot yesterday. I got busy.

No, no, no, no.

Do you know what happens to the body when you ease off, even for a minute?

It's a pound.

It's a shortcoming.

I'm going to go.

No, wait. Hey, hey, hey.

I'm sorry.

Okay?

I believe in you. You are so close to perfect. I just want to help you get

there. That's it. I need a break.

Let me out, Trey. No.

I can't let you do that.

Okay?

Interrupting your progress at this point can be... Can be very dangerous.

Get out of my way.

I need you.

Oh, okay, okay.

Thank you so much for your help last night, Leslie. And thank you for getting

the comfort food.

Carter, what are you doing here?

Just stopped by to get my last box of stuff.

Wow, you, uh, you look incredible.

Thanks.

Why didn't you call?

I figured you'd be at work.

I went in last night and I found that someone had broken in and trashed the

gallery, so... Sorry to hear that.

Thanks.

Yeah, I filed a police report on an insurance claim, but I can't really do

anything until the cleanup crews are gone.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

You should probably give me your key.

Yeah. Yeah.

Are you home alone?

Yes.

Who else would be here?

Your new boyfriend?

No, you didn't text me. What are you talking about?

Your psychotic new boyfriend.

You know, actually, I shouldn't even be talking to you.

Who are you?

Talking about... Adam?

I don't know his name.

He's had some pretty vile stuff.

Like what?

Well, aside from jamming body parts into other body parts, to basically stay

away from you.

What?

Look, Mel.

I'm happy to see you. And honestly, you look incredible.

But tell your demented new boy toy if he texts me again, I'm calling the police.

Carter! Hey!

Carter!

Leslie? What are you doing here?

Come in. So Carter said he got some crazy weird texts from me, but I didn't

them. I didn't send anything.

Well, you are lucky that I am a technological genius.

I am so lucky. I say it every morning like a mantra.

Ha ha.

All right. Oh, boy.

Yoda.

Where is your laptop in this mess?

Keep digging.

Okay, here it is.

Okay.

Okay, so if someone were sending Carter weird texts... I'll find out who.

Just let a master work.

And I also need to remember Carter's number because I blocked it out when he

dumped you.

Me too.

Bingo. Take a look at this.

Wow, how'd you do that?

That's like magic.

More like advanced computer science. So, yeah.

Magic. Is that even legal?

Oh, jeez.

Okay. So what are we looking at?

Carter's incoming texts.

This is the longest one.

Super creepy. And there are tons just like this from the exact same number.

Who's...

Yours. What the hell?

So who would have access to your phone?

I mean, nobody. It's always locked up at work, at the gym. Think.

Um... Adam?

Okay, well, you call him, because every time I call him, it just cuts off, and I

don't know what's up, so... Blocked. What?

Blocked. He blocked you.

That doesn't make any sense.

Look, I'm sure you were amazing in bed, but he definitely blocked you.

No, I mean... Well, if...

If he doesn't want anything to do with me, then... Wow.

But if... Why would he go to the trouble of texting Carter from my phone?

Look, I know you don't like getting any flack for Wonder Boy at the gym, but...

He would have access to your phone.

Okay, I admit that trade's been weird lately. Actually, very weird, but... I

mean...

You changed my life.

No.

You changed your life.

Okay. So, let's go check out the gym and do a little reconnaissance.

Okay. Shoot.

I can't. I have that clothing exhibit reception at the gallery tonight. I have

to go down there and make sure I can even pull it off with all the vandalism.

You're still doing that? I mean, I have to. What am I going to do? Just lose

more money on it?

Good point, good point. Okay, so while you get ready for that, I will see what

can find out at the gym, and then we will meet back up at the gallery party

tonight, okay?

Just one thing.

What are you writing?

Instructions for a backdoor IP assault.

There are so many texts, it seems unlikely that this person only texted

your phone. I mean, if they used a computer app to connect at any point,

they didn't reroute through a VPN...

You can track them.

Okay, this is like a foreign language to me, but thanks.

Great.

Oh, and, uh, no.

It's not legal.

Thank you.

I know you guys are closing really soon, but I wanted to know if I could use

your sauna really quick.

Great.

Go on home, man. Cool. I'll walk up. Okay.

I had to volunteer to do recon.

Oh, wow.

Of course he had to photo himself.

Okay,

Trey, what do we got?

Pills, check.

Okay, what do we got here?

Let's see.

Bingo.

Boring. Huh.

Actually, boring, boring.

Well, hello there.

Yay.

Aww.

Trey.

Trey. Is lunch Trey?

That's my favorite.

Yeah.

Good to see you guys.

Hey, you've reached Leslie.

Leave a message.

Leslie, where are you? Call me back.

Bye -bye.

Come on. Hey, you've reached Leslie.

IP address is Jim.

Okay. Fitness tracker app.

Hey, Mel?

Melissa?

Hey,

Melissa?

Leslie?

Leslie?

Are you in here?

Leslie?

No.

No, no, no, no, no, no. No.

No. No.

Yes. Yes. Leslie, I'm going to get you out of there.

Hang on. Hang on. Hang on.

Yes, I need an ambulance.

Right in the police.

Confirm your location.

Yes, I meant this.

Adam?

You forgot this.

What?

No. What?

Why are you scared of me, Mel?

Sit. No.

He forced you to sleep with him.

I know he did.

I can make him dead, not just hurt.

Please.

Sit.

Sweet Mel.

I'm never going to let anyone hurt you.

Never again.

It's me.

Your secret admirer.

We were in love.

In college, remember?

But we couldn't be a couple because you were you.

And I... Well...

Things weren't perfect.

Stop.

You always have been a shy one.

Hey.

It's okay.

You can't imagine what it was like to be so lonely.

Wanting you all of these years.

But of course, before we can be a couple, we

have to be alone.

Never.

Why are you hiding from me, Mel?

You're not making this very easy.

All right, Mel, it's your choice.

Back to Adam it is.

You think Mel could ever be yours?

You'll never have what we have.

I remember the first moment I fell for her.

Fall for me now.

It's over.

It's over.

Can you walk?

Yeah. Okay, come on.

Come on.

Okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Okay.

It's okay.

Mom.

No.

I think you can choose me.

You're mine, Melissa.

Forever.

Forever and always.

It's me and you, baby.

I've told you this before, but beautiful job on the restoration.

I mean, you can hardly believe anything even happened here.

Oh, thank you. I know. Well, you guys did such a fantastic job, too. I mean,

security system can now rival NASA.

Oh, I will take that.

Mm -hmm.

So, uh, you got five years, huh?

Can we not talk about Trey? You're right.

Old news.

Old news.

To you and this beautiful gallery.

Cheers. Cheers.

Hey, sweetie.

Hey, gorgeous.

Oh. Writing some flowers.

Thank you.

And your mail's there, too.

Oh, thank you.

Oops.

Oh, no.

What is this?

Don't freak out. It's an everyday thing.

You're not concerned?

Not in the least.
