She was sex.

00:00:07,925 --> 00:00:09,718
The very definition of it.
4
00:00:09,801 --> 00:00:11,386
She was the reason
the word was invented.
5

[Alison] You were gonna say
this book is true.
6
00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:15,057
And then you make out that
I'm some kind of cold‐hearted,
7
00:00:15,140 --> 00:00:18,018
‐drug‐dealing psychopath.
‐Okay, calm down, Alison.
8
00:00:18,101 --> 00:00:19,394
No. Nothing is sacred to you.
Nothing.

I‐I was Noah's publicist.

Bad idea.

Do you know?

a little bit too much

at your fingertips,
didn't you?
26

Damn, Ariel. You really
were paying attention.
27
00:00:53,095 --> 00:00:55,013
There's a chapter
in your last book, Descent,
28
00:00:55,097 --> 00:00:57,266
where you have sex with
your wife against a tree.
29
00:00:57,349 --> 00:00:57,933
Was that
supposed to be
30
00:00:58,016 --> 00:01:00,018
‐a rape?
‐No, I did not
31
00:01:00,102 --> 00:01:01,853

a‐a scene of rape.

inconvenient for you.

she wants a... relationship.

totally omniscient.

She has her hands in every
aspect of her business.

you'd be able to...

A recommendation from Carolina
would go a long way

[Mariel] Uh, what is
your mother's name?
356
00:14:34,791 --> 00:14:37,418
Her name is, um, Adeline Taylor.
357
00:14:37,502 --> 00:14:39,378
[Mariel] And your mother
lives in Los Angeles?
358

[Sierra] Uh, her‐her primary
residence is Los Angeles, yes.

00:14:42,465 --> 00:14:43,925
‐Um, but she's an actress...
‐[Eddie crying]
360
00:14:44,008 --> 00:14:46,344

Hey, hey, hey.

"Primary residence."
362
00:14:47,595 --> 00:14:48,888
Does that mean
she has multiple homes?

00:14:48,971 --> 00:14:50,181
It's okay. Yes.

00:14:50,264 --> 00:14:51,682
Yeah. Oh, my gosh.

I'm so sorry about the racket.

I totally forgot about
Eddie's sweet potatoes.

Hypothetically, if the subject
of an investigation is found

00:15:45,736 --> 00:15:48,698
to be an unfit parent, the
subject's child would be removed

No, you're not.

It was one mistake. I mean,
this‐this period is‐is...

will find him and,

take him away from me now

Helen, I flew 15 hours
to surprise you.

it is to get a‐a charter

I mean, I just...

Um, you know, I picked up
463
00:18:44,415 --> 00:18:47,335
a few tricks when I played
a chef some years back.

Oh, uh, Mom hates her birthday.
475
00:19:14,654 --> 00:19:16,030
Yep, even when we were kids,
476
00:19:16,113 --> 00:19:18,282
she wouldn't let us get her
477
00:19:18,366 --> 00:19:19,033
a cake.
478
00:19:19,116 --> 00:19:21,452
My dad would make
a lasagna,
479
00:19:21,535 --> 00:19:24,246
stick a candle in it,
and that'd be it.
480
00:19:24,330 --> 00:19:25,498
Birthday finito.
481
00:19:26,123 --> 00:19:28,709
What a shock you left him.
482
00:19:30,795 --> 00:19:31,837
I didn't, actually. He left me.

Hello again.

Hi.
485
00:19:35,466 --> 00:19:36,884
How's your baby?
486
00:19:36,967 --> 00:19:39,553
Uh, he's asleep. Thank God.
487
00:19:39,637 --> 00:19:41,263
[Sasha] See,
that's why I never had kids.
488
00:19:41,347 --> 00:19:45,351
I'm just absolutely useless
without my sleep.
489
00:19:46,644 --> 00:19:48,562

So,
490
00:19:48,646 --> 00:19:49,647
it's set in the future.
491

Two astronauts meet by chance
492

on the International
Space Station.
493
00:19:53,484 --> 00:19:56,946
They fall desperately in love,
but their love is doomed
494
00:19:57,029 --> 00:19:59,990
because they're being sent off
on two different missions
495
00:20:00,074 --> 00:20:02,451
in opposite directions
deep in the bowels of space.
496
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:04,787
Ooh.
497
00:20:04,870 --> 00:20:07,873
Quite the little tragedian,
isn't she?
498
00:20:07,957 --> 00:20:10,084
I wasn't finished.
499
00:20:10,167 --> 00:20:12,044
Anyways, they try
to forget each other.
500
00:20:12,128 --> 00:20:15,214
They build
completely new lives
501
00:20:15,297 --> 00:20:17,758
with new people.
But it hurts, you know?
502
00:20:17,842 --> 00:20:20,594
Because deep down, they
secretly still love each other.
503
00:20:20,678 --> 00:20:24,265
Until one day,
they run into each other again
504
00:20:24,348 --> 00:20:26,726
on the opposite side
of the galaxy.
505
00:20:26,809 --> 00:20:29,228
Out in space?
506
00:20:29,311 --> 00:20:30,771
That's very convenient,
isn't it?
507
00:20:30,855 --> 00:20:31,856
[Stacey]
Because all this time
508
00:20:31,939 --> 00:20:34,608
they thought they were
moving away from each other,
509
00:20:34,692 --> 00:20:36,235
they were actually in orbit.
510
00:20:36,318 --> 00:20:40,072
They were always meant
to meet again.

00:21:19,737 --> 00:21:20,946
Sweetie, we got to go.
Can you get Eddie?
529
00:21:21,030 --> 00:21:22,698
Um, where are we going?
530
00:21:22,782 --> 00:21:25,367
Um, well,
531
00:21:25,451 --> 00:21:26,368
first, we're gonna
go back to my house.
532
00:21:26,452 --> 00:21:29,830
And I got a terrific
baby nurse for Eddie.
533
00:21:29,914 --> 00:21:30,831
And Dr. Miller says
he can take you tonight.
534
00:21:30,915 --> 00:21:33,667
No. Mom, please, I
don't want to go there.
535
00:21:33,751 --> 00:21:36,378
Honey, he's doing us
a tremendous favor,
536
00:21:36,462 --> 00:21:38,881
and it's all gonna be
very private, which is good,
537
00:21:38,964 --> 00:21:39,548
because if the press
gets ahold of this,
538
00:21:39,632 --> 00:21:41,175
they will have a field day.
539
00:21:41,258 --> 00:21:42,718
[Sierra]
Mom, nobody even knows who I am.
540
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:45,429
[Adeline] Of course they do,
sweetheart, because they know
541
00:21:45,513 --> 00:21:47,056
who I am.
542
00:21:47,139 --> 00:21:50,226
But if we get ahead of this,
we can control it.
543
00:21:50,309 --> 00:21:53,312
All right?
But we need to go tonight.
544
00:21:53,395 --> 00:21:55,523
Adeline?
545
00:21:55,606 --> 00:21:58,859

‐What the fuck

‐Oh, thank God.

Budapest, for fuck's sake.

she talking about?
561
00:22:25,135 --> 00:22:27,847
Um, she wants
to institutionalize me.
562
00:22:27,930 --> 00:22:30,558
‐What?
‐Yeah, Dr. Miller is, um...
563
00:22:30,641 --> 00:22:32,142
He works at a psych ward.
564
00:22:32,226 --> 00:22:33,602
She, um, she put me in there
565
00:22:33,686 --> 00:22:34,562
when I was a teenager.

I know you've been away
for a few months,
575
00:22:54,498 --> 00:22:56,584
but I live next
door, and we spend
576
00:22:56,667 --> 00:22:59,295
quite a bit of time
together, and I think...
577
00:22:59,378 --> 00:23:03,632
Sierra is suffering
from postpartum depression.
578
00:23:03,716 --> 00:23:05,426
Are you a doctor?
579
00:23:05,509 --> 00:23:07,136
No.
580
00:23:07,219 --> 00:23:08,762
[chuckles]
That's funny,
581
00:23:08,846 --> 00:23:10,139
because you sounded
like a doctor.
582
00:23:10,222 --> 00:23:12,683
Yeah, I just think
she needs some childcare.
583
00:23:12,766 --> 00:23:14,101
And a therapist.
584
00:23:14,184 --> 00:23:16,103
I don't think she needs
to be institutionalized.
585
00:23:16,186 --> 00:23:17,855
[Adeline]
Institutionalized? I mean,
586
00:23:17,938 --> 00:23:19,189
it's called rehab.
587
00:23:20,357 --> 00:23:22,276
If she's clean, we'll leave.
588
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,403
If she's not,
it's the best place for her.
589
00:23:24,486 --> 00:23:26,780
Helen, perhaps we should
stay out of this. I mean,
590
00:23:26,864 --> 00:23:29,283
let the ladies sort it
themselves. It's not really...
591
00:23:29,366 --> 00:23:30,659
It's none
of our business, is it?
592
00:23:30,743 --> 00:23:32,494
Perhaps you should
stay out of this.

Um...
[clicks tongue]
594
00:23:39,209 --> 00:23:42,630
Do you mind if I just talk to my
daughter privately for a moment?
595
00:23:55,142 --> 00:23:56,518
[Sasha]
Look,
596
00:23:56,602 --> 00:23:58,145
all I'm saying
is that this is
597
00:23:58,228 --> 00:23:59,396
kind of your Achilles'
heel, isn't it?
598
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:00,898
I wish you would stop trying
599
00:24:00,981 --> 00:24:02,858
to turn me wanting
to help people into a pathology.
600
00:24:02,942 --> 00:24:05,069
Helen, her mother
is a movie star.
601
00:24:05,152 --> 00:24:07,112
She's got all the money
and resources in the world.
602
00:24:07,196 --> 00:24:08,489
Well, I know this might be hard
for you to believe,
603
00:24:08,572 --> 00:24:11,700
but sometimes people
need more than money
604
00:24:11,784 --> 00:24:13,994
‐thrown at their problems.
‐I just think you fill your life
605
00:24:14,078 --> 00:24:15,746
with other people's
problems in order to avoid
606
00:24:15,829 --> 00:24:17,247
addressing your own.
That's all I'm saying.
607
00:24:17,331 --> 00:24:19,458
Do you think this is fun for me?
608
00:24:19,541 --> 00:24:21,543
Spending all this time
with the woman
609
00:24:21,627 --> 00:24:25,047
my boyfriend cheated on me with
and their baby?
610
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:26,048
Then why do you do it?
611
00:24:26,131 --> 00:24:27,716
Because she needs help.
612
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,510
She's barely hanging on.
613
00:24:29,593 --> 00:24:31,178
Her mother is a psychopath.
614
00:24:31,261 --> 00:24:33,931
I've tried to hate her.
Believe me.
615
00:24:34,014 --> 00:24:35,224
But I c... I can't.
616
00:24:35,307 --> 00:24:35,933
She's just... She's too...
617
00:24:36,016 --> 00:24:38,894
pathetic to hate.
618
00:24:38,978 --> 00:24:40,396
Perhaps you do it
619
00:24:40,479 --> 00:24:42,272
because you hate her.
620
00:24:42,356 --> 00:24:44,233
What?
621
00:24:44,316 --> 00:24:46,443
Helen, people will go
to crazy lengths
622
00:24:46,527 --> 00:24:48,529
to avoid feeling that feeling.
623
00:24:48,612 --> 00:24:51,407
All right, well...
624
00:24:51,490 --> 00:24:52,241

625
00:24:52,324 --> 00:24:55,035

I had coffee with today.
626
00:24:56,120 --> 00:24:57,454
Christianna.
627
00:24:57,538 --> 00:24:58,038
Christianna. Why?
628
00:24:58,122 --> 00:25:00,541
She reached out to me.
629
00:25:00,624 --> 00:25:03,043
But how'd she find you?
630
00:25:03,127 --> 00:25:03,877
‐What does it matter?
‐Well,
631
00:25:03,961 --> 00:25:04,837
you're kind of hard
to track down.
632
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,839
You're not on social media
or anything.
633
00:25:06,922 --> 00:25:08,549
Why don't you want me
to talk to her?
634
00:25:08,632 --> 00:25:09,633
Because why would you?
635
00:25:09,717 --> 00:25:11,093
She asked me for help
getting through to you.
636
00:25:11,176 --> 00:25:14,013
She says the money's hers.
637
00:25:14,096 --> 00:25:15,931
Oh. She told you
about Lily's trust, did she?
638
00:25:16,015 --> 00:25:18,434
‐Yeah.
‐Mm‐hmm.
639
00:25:18,517 --> 00:25:20,394
Did she tell you
she's writing a book?
640
00:25:20,477 --> 00:25:21,729
I think so.
641
00:25:21,812 --> 00:25:23,522
Book about me?
642
00:25:24,481 --> 00:25:25,566
No.
643
00:25:25,649 --> 00:25:26,608
Mm‐hmm.
644
00:25:26,692 --> 00:25:29,945
Listen, I know
she can be very convincing,
645
00:25:30,029 --> 00:25:31,530
but she's lying.
646
00:25:31,613 --> 00:25:33,949
She's full of
horseshit. I mean,
647
00:25:34,033 --> 00:25:36,368
Lily and I loved each other,
Helen.
648
00:25:36,452 --> 00:25:38,454
I met her
when Christianna was five,
649
00:25:38,537 --> 00:25:39,621
and I helped raise her.
650
00:25:39,705 --> 00:25:41,123
We were a family.
651
00:25:41,206 --> 00:25:42,499
But when Christianna
became a teenager,
652
00:25:42,583 --> 00:25:45,335
she got this
asshole boyfriend
653
00:25:45,419 --> 00:25:47,087
that convinced her
to break into Lily's phone
654
00:25:47,171 --> 00:25:49,465
and steal these photos
of me and Lily naked,
655
00:25:49,548 --> 00:25:51,425
and Christianna went
and sold them.
656
00:25:51,508 --> 00:25:53,427
After that, Lily
put a stipulation
657
00:25:53,510 --> 00:25:54,970
in Christianna's trust
658
00:25:55,054 --> 00:25:56,263
that if she wanted
659
00:25:56,346 --> 00:25:58,015
her grandparents' money
when she was an adult,
660
00:25:58,098 --> 00:26:00,392
she could not disparage
me or Lily publicly.
661
00:26:00,476 --> 00:26:04,605
‐And has she?
‐No, not yet.
662
00:26:04,688 --> 00:26:07,399
But she's written
this tell‐all book,
663
00:26:07,483 --> 00:26:09,151
and she wants to publish it.
664
00:26:09,234 --> 00:26:12,279
She gets her inheritance in full
when she's 25,
665
00:26:12,362 --> 00:26:13,822
which gives me four years
to change her mind.
666
00:26:15,741 --> 00:26:16,950
I mean, why...
667
00:26:17,034 --> 00:26:18,744
why did Lily put you
in charge of her trust?
668
00:26:18,827 --> 00:26:21,497
Because she trusted me, Helen.
669
00:26:21,580 --> 00:26:23,707
Christianna says
you never send the checks.
670
00:26:23,791 --> 00:26:25,000
Mm‐hmm, because I don't
know where she lives.
671
00:26:25,084 --> 00:26:26,460
She's a grifter.
672
00:26:26,543 --> 00:26:28,712
She moves around
every six months.
673
00:26:28,796 --> 00:26:30,297
You know, why don't you
just give her the money
674
00:26:30,380 --> 00:26:32,299
and let her publish the book
if you have nothing to hide?
675
00:26:32,382 --> 00:26:33,717
For fuck's sake!
676
00:26:33,801 --> 00:26:35,803
That would ruin my career.

to throw my whole life away

just because Christianna
is angry that her mother died

and wants to blame it
on somebody.

What?
703
00:27:41,660 --> 00:27:43,120
You can stay here
as long as you like,
704
00:27:43,203 --> 00:27:46,206
and I'll try to find someone
to come here and help you.
705
00:27:46,290 --> 00:27:47,583
What are you doing?
706
00:27:47,666 --> 00:27:49,418
She's his mother.
I don't think
707
00:27:49,501 --> 00:27:51,169
they should be
separated right now.
708
00:27:51,253 --> 00:27:53,714
[exhales]
709
00:27:53,797 --> 00:27:54,840
Hey, I'm beat.
710
00:27:54,923 --> 00:27:56,592
I've been awake for 24 hours,
711
00:27:56,675 --> 00:27:59,386
so if you'll excuse me.
712
00:27:59,469 --> 00:28:01,263
‐Um, Adeline,
wonderful to see you.
‐[Adeline] Mwah!
713
00:28:01,346 --> 00:28:03,807
‐Call me.
‐I will.
714
00:28:03,891 --> 00:28:06,018
‐We'll have lunch or something.
‐We will. Bye.
715
00:28:08,395 --> 00:28:11,231
[Adeline sighs]
716
00:28:11,315 --> 00:28:14,359
I‐I can tell you care
about my daughter.
717
00:28:14,443 --> 00:28:17,237
Many people do.
718
00:28:17,321 --> 00:28:19,489
She has a knack
for finding those people
719
00:28:19,573 --> 00:28:22,159
who want to save her,
720
00:28:22,242 --> 00:28:24,161
but then they just end up
enabling her addictions
721
00:28:24,244 --> 00:28:25,621
and laziness
722
00:28:25,704 --> 00:28:28,916
and her refusal
to accept any responsibility
723
00:28:28,999 --> 00:28:30,167
for her life.
724
00:28:30,250 --> 00:28:32,794
Excuse me?
725
00:28:32,878 --> 00:28:35,547
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm not saying you're...
726
00:28:35,631 --> 00:28:37,174
one of those people.
727
00:28:37,257 --> 00:28:38,300
I‐I don't know you.
728
00:28:38,383 --> 00:28:42,512
But I do know my daughter.
729
00:28:43,597 --> 00:28:47,184
She's sweet and beautiful,
730
00:28:47,267 --> 00:28:50,771
but she's also a fuckup,
and she needs professional help.
731
00:28:50,854 --> 00:28:53,774
She doesn't need another...
732
00:28:53,857 --> 00:28:57,277
well‐intentioned hanger‐on.
733
00:28:57,361 --> 00:29:00,072
What the fuck is wrong with you?
734
00:29:02,407 --> 00:29:04,743
Why do you think
I'm such a fuckup, Mom?
735
00:29:04,826 --> 00:29:06,912
Did you know
that until I met Helen,
736
00:29:06,995 --> 00:29:08,705
I didn't even realize
there were people in the world
737
00:29:08,789 --> 00:29:12,125
who loved their kids
just for being alive?
738
00:29:12,209 --> 00:29:14,962
Just because
they fucking existed?
739
00:29:15,045 --> 00:29:17,005
You should see her
with her kids.
740
00:29:17,089 --> 00:29:17,464
She's amazing.
741
00:29:17,547 --> 00:29:18,507
She loves them.
742
00:29:18,590 --> 00:29:21,802
She just fucking loves them.
743
00:29:21,885 --> 00:29:24,054
They can fuck up or,
or say something stupid
744
00:29:24,137 --> 00:29:26,264
and it's like
she doesn't even notice.
745
00:29:26,348 --> 00:29:29,768
If I ever had
a‐a pimple on my face,
746
00:29:29,851 --> 00:29:30,811
you would tell me
you couldn't even look at me.
747
00:29:30,894 --> 00:29:32,562
I stopped eating
because you said
748
00:29:32,646 --> 00:29:34,648
you'd rather have
a dead daughter than a fat one.
749
00:29:34,731 --> 00:29:35,816
I was kidding.
750
00:29:35,899 --> 00:29:37,567
It wasn't fucking funny.
751
00:29:38,902 --> 00:29:39,486
You didn't want
a daughter.
752
00:29:39,569 --> 00:29:41,905
You just wanted a doll
753
00:29:41,989 --> 00:29:44,157
that you could dress up
and parade around
754
00:29:44,241 --> 00:29:45,826
and bring to interviews
when you needed
755
00:29:45,909 --> 00:29:47,411
‐to seem more human.
‐Oh, my God, oh, my God,
756
00:29:47,494 --> 00:29:49,454
oh, my God.
I tried so hard.
757
00:29:49,538 --> 00:29:50,455
My parents were useless.
758
00:29:50,539 --> 00:29:52,582
Rich and famous
759
00:29:52,666 --> 00:29:54,292
‐and useless.
‐Oh, my God.
760
00:29:54,376 --> 00:29:55,335
They had their assistant
761
00:29:55,419 --> 00:29:58,964
take me to get my tonsils out
when I was five.
762
00:29:59,047 --> 00:30:01,550
I did not want that
to be your childhood.
763
00:30:01,633 --> 00:30:04,177
I wanted you with me.
764
00:30:04,261 --> 00:30:07,389
I‐I‐I wanted us to be
in this together.
765
00:30:07,472 --> 00:30:09,474
You know, but I guess
I fucked up.
766
00:30:09,558 --> 00:30:12,394
I‐I pushed you too hard
or I protected you too much.
767
00:30:12,477 --> 00:30:14,271
I don't know.
768
00:30:14,354 --> 00:30:16,189
I think I was just so afraid
769
00:30:16,273 --> 00:30:18,108
of the scrutiny
you were gonna be under
770
00:30:18,191 --> 00:30:21,194
because you were my kid.
771
00:30:21,278 --> 00:30:23,697
It's a scary world,
Sierra.
772
00:30:26,116 --> 00:30:28,493
The only thing
that I'm scared of, Mom,
773
00:30:28,577 --> 00:30:31,246
in the whole world,
774
00:30:31,329 --> 00:30:33,707
the whole entire world...
775
00:30:33,790 --> 00:30:35,876
is you.
776
00:30:42,883 --> 00:30:45,010
How do you two
know each other again?
777
00:30:48,472 --> 00:30:50,140
Don't do that, Mom.
778
00:30:50,223 --> 00:30:52,893
Oh. [sighs] Right.
779
00:30:54,227 --> 00:30:55,729
She...
780
00:30:55,812 --> 00:30:58,231
fucked your dying husband
781
00:30:58,315 --> 00:31:01,526
and then got pregnant
and had his baby?
782
00:31:02,861 --> 00:31:06,114
Well, technically,
he wasn't my husband.
783
00:31:06,198 --> 00:31:08,158
Mm‐hmm.
784
00:31:08,241 --> 00:31:11,203
And you really feel you have
her best interests at heart.
785
00:31:13,580 --> 00:31:16,500
Life is short, Adeline.
786
00:31:18,376 --> 00:31:20,337
Okay.
787
00:31:21,046 --> 00:31:23,423
Sierra, I'll see you tomorrow.
788
00:31:23,507 --> 00:31:26,426
[footsteps retreating]
789
00:31:28,678 --> 00:31:29,763
[exhales]
790
00:31:29,846 --> 00:31:32,724
‐[sighs]
‐[door closes]
791
00:31:36,103 --> 00:31:38,438
Um...
792
00:31:38,522 --> 00:31:39,481
Do you mind if I just go to bed?
793
00:31:39,564 --> 00:31:41,733
I'm... very tired.
794
00:31:41,817 --> 00:31:43,276
Of course.
795
00:31:44,402 --> 00:31:46,446
Happy birthday.
796
00:31:46,530 --> 00:31:48,281
Thank you.
797
00:31:58,625 --> 00:32:01,711
[knocking at door]
798
00:32:09,094 --> 00:32:11,513
Happy birthday.
799
00:32:15,517 --> 00:32:17,978
[Noah] Well, I kind of like
the cover art they chose.
800
00:32:18,061 --> 00:32:18,937
It's, like,
801
00:32:19,020 --> 00:32:20,480
bare trees
in a winter wood.
802
00:32:20,564 --> 00:32:21,565
It's kind of haunting.
803
00:32:21,648 --> 00:32:22,732
It's a beautiful book, Noah.
804
00:32:22,816 --> 00:32:23,984
‐It really is.
‐Thanks.
805
00:32:24,067 --> 00:32:26,069
Thank you. And thank
you for your blurb.
806
00:32:26,153 --> 00:32:28,113
‐I'm really grateful.
‐Ah, I loved reading it.
807
00:32:28,196 --> 00:32:31,700
[sighs] I'm sorry about
your mom, by the way.
808
00:32:31,783 --> 00:32:33,368
That part was true,
wasn't it?
809
00:32:33,451 --> 00:32:34,161
Mm‐hmm.
810
00:32:34,244 --> 00:32:36,705
I had no idea
back at school.
811
00:32:36,788 --> 00:32:38,665
Well, nobody did.
812
00:32:38,748 --> 00:32:40,208
You know what I find
sort of interesting,
813
00:32:40,292 --> 00:32:42,335
now that I'm getting older?
814
00:32:42,419 --> 00:32:44,921
All those people I thought were
so cool back when I was young?
815
00:32:45,005 --> 00:32:47,465
‐Mm‐hmm.
‐Just effortlessly cool...
816
00:32:47,549 --> 00:32:50,135
Those people were
in so much pain.
817
00:32:50,218 --> 00:32:51,678
‐You think?
‐Ah.
818
00:32:51,761 --> 00:32:53,180
To a person.
819
00:32:53,263 --> 00:32:55,015
There's no such thing
as being cool when you're young.
820
00:32:55,098 --> 00:32:56,725
‐[laughs]
‐There's just different degrees
821
00:32:56,808 --> 00:32:59,060
of terrified and how adept
you are at hiding it.
822
00:32:59,144 --> 00:33:01,563
Which is inversely proportional,
in my opinion.
823
00:33:01,646 --> 00:33:03,273
I love you, Ariel.
824
00:33:03,356 --> 00:33:05,066
I love you, too, Noah.
825
00:33:07,485 --> 00:33:09,404
It feels like
things are finally
826
00:33:09,487 --> 00:33:11,823
coming back together
for you, huh?
827
00:33:12,866 --> 00:33:15,035
Hey, you want to get a coffee?
828
00:33:15,118 --> 00:33:16,119
I'm buying.
829
00:33:16,203 --> 00:33:17,245
Sure.
830
00:33:22,834 --> 00:33:25,003
Can I ask you something?
831
00:33:26,171 --> 00:33:27,881
I got a call a couple
of days ago
832
00:33:27,964 --> 00:33:29,758
from a reporter who's doing
this long‐form story
833
00:33:29,841 --> 00:33:32,385
about me and my "resurrection."
834
00:33:32,469 --> 00:33:33,887
Where? For what?
835
00:33:33,970 --> 00:33:34,679
Vanity Fair.
836
00:33:34,763 --> 00:33:36,556
‐Wow.
‐Mm.
837
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:37,766
No, it's great, but...
838
00:33:37,849 --> 00:33:41,937
she asked me about this, uh,
839
00:33:42,020 --> 00:33:45,023
publicist I had
on the Descent tour...
840
00:33:45,106 --> 00:33:49,527
who, apparently,
has said that I...
841
00:33:49,611 --> 00:33:52,405
I don't know, tried
to seduce her or something.
842
00:33:52,489 --> 00:33:54,157
Tried to seduce her?
843
00:33:54,241 --> 00:33:56,826
Pressured her
into sleeping with me.
844
00:33:57,744 --> 00:33:59,412
That's different.
845
00:33:59,496 --> 00:34:01,581
I know... I know.
846
00:34:01,665 --> 00:34:03,208
I mean, I‐I don't know
what she meant,
847
00:34:03,291 --> 00:34:04,918
but, I mean,
she kind of blindsided me.
848
00:34:05,001 --> 00:34:06,044
What did you say?
849
00:34:06,127 --> 00:34:07,295
Well, I told her it wasn't true.
850
00:34:07,379 --> 00:34:08,421
Which it wasn't.
851
00:34:08,505 --> 00:34:09,547
The opposite, in fact.
852
00:34:09,631 --> 00:34:13,510
I mean, she was throwing herself
at me the whole time.
853
00:34:15,762 --> 00:34:16,846
[chuckles]
What, you don't believe me?
854
00:34:16,930 --> 00:34:18,139
[chuckles]
I didn't say that.
855
00:34:18,223 --> 00:34:19,808
But you don't.
856
00:34:19,891 --> 00:34:22,143
I'm telling you, she was,
she was pretty aggressive.
857
00:34:22,227 --> 00:34:25,605
Okay, so what
are you worried about?
858
00:34:25,689 --> 00:34:27,816
Well, I don't know.
Nothing, I guess.
859
00:34:27,899 --> 00:34:30,777
It's probably fine.
860
00:34:30,860 --> 00:34:32,362
The reporter didn't seem
that interested, actually.
861
00:34:32,445 --> 00:34:36,658
She was probably
just doing due diligence, but...
862
00:34:38,034 --> 00:34:39,536
I mean, this publicist, Eden,
863
00:34:39,619 --> 00:34:41,371
she can't just make shit up
about me, right?
864
00:34:41,454 --> 00:34:44,124
You know you don't have
the best reputation
865
00:34:44,207 --> 00:34:46,001
around this stuff, right?
866
00:34:46,084 --> 00:34:47,836
Ariel, that was in college,
that was 30 years ago.
867
00:34:47,919 --> 00:34:50,255
That's not what
I'm talking about.
868
00:34:50,338 --> 00:34:52,924
I'm talking about
your current reputation, Noah.
869
00:34:53,008 --> 00:34:53,591
In the community.
870
00:34:53,675 --> 00:34:55,719
What community?
871
00:34:55,802 --> 00:34:57,804
The publishing world.
872
00:34:57,887 --> 00:35:00,724
You're seen as something
of a loose cannon.
873
00:35:00,807 --> 00:35:01,349
What?
874
00:35:01,433 --> 00:35:03,560
Why?
875
00:35:03,643 --> 00:35:06,896
Well, you've had a storied past.
876
00:35:06,980 --> 00:35:08,648
You went to prison, after all.
877
00:35:08,732 --> 00:35:10,525
Well, that's just
fucking ridiculous.
878
00:35:10,609 --> 00:35:12,694
I went to prison for my...

880
00:35:15,739 --> 00:35:17,824
Never mind.

00:35:17,907 --> 00:35:19,284
I don't deserve that.

the most boring fucking life.
883
00:35:22,370 --> 00:35:25,040
I work, I write, I see my kids,
884
00:35:25,123 --> 00:35:28,001
and I try to be
a good person, that's it.

00:35:28,084 --> 00:35:30,378
I know you do.
886
00:35:30,462 --> 00:35:33,840
But, look...
when you got out of prison,
887
00:35:33,923 --> 00:35:37,093
you were a little bit angry,
right?
888
00:35:37,177 --> 00:35:38,678
A little bit bitter?
889
00:35:38,762 --> 00:35:40,597
Sure. Prison sucks.

Right, well...
891
00:35:42,766 --> 00:35:44,225

in it?

Uh... yeah.
895
00:35:51,066 --> 00:35:53,568
Were you not very nice
to her?
896
00:35:55,028 --> 00:35:56,696
Well, I was as nice
to her as I was
897
00:35:56,780 --> 00:35:58,615
to anyone else
in that class. Why?
898
00:35:58,698 --> 00:36:00,742
She's written a book.
899
00:36:00,825 --> 00:36:01,368

She doesn't name you directly,
but it's a memoir

with an older male professor.

‐Mm‐hmm.
‐And this woman,
933
00:37:23,908 --> 00:37:26,453
uh, Eden Ellery, she used
to work with us, right?
934
00:37:26,536 --> 00:37:29,164
Right, she was our in‐house
publicist about ten years ago.

It seems a little convenient,
doesn't it?

Just when he's got a movie

‐No, I didn't harass her.

00:38:15,877 --> 00:38:17,253
I don't know. We can try,
but she may not give it to us.
958
00:38:17,337 --> 00:38:20,548
Guys, there's no truth
to this story.
959
00:38:20,632 --> 00:38:21,007
None at all?
960
00:38:21,090 --> 00:38:24,844
No. I mean...
961
00:38:24,928 --> 00:38:27,722
I remember
Eden was very flirtatious,
962
00:38:27,806 --> 00:38:30,058
and I think maybe I kissed her
963
00:38:30,141 --> 00:38:31,851
in my hotel room, but...
964
00:38:31,935 --> 00:38:33,686
it was totally consensual.
965
00:38:33,770 --> 00:38:34,979
And you weren't married
at the time.
966
00:38:35,063 --> 00:38:37,816
No, I‐I was married.
967
00:38:37,899 --> 00:38:38,900
I was married to Alison,
968
00:38:38,983 --> 00:38:41,528
but, look, I know I wasn't
the best guy at that time.
969
00:38:41,611 --> 00:38:42,821
I know that.
Everybody knows that.
970
00:38:42,904 --> 00:38:45,240
I mean, so much of what
the Jack Hunter book is about
971
00:38:45,323 --> 00:38:47,992
is me wrestling with who I was
and what I did and why.
972
00:38:48,076 --> 00:38:49,118
But there's a difference
between poor judgment
973
00:38:49,202 --> 00:38:52,121
and being a criminal, right?
974
00:38:52,205 --> 00:38:53,289
[scoffs]
Well...
975
00:38:53,373 --> 00:38:54,874
For fuck's sake,
of course there is.
976
00:38:54,958 --> 00:38:57,043
All I'm saying is that
the court of public opinion
977
00:38:57,126 --> 00:39:00,547
isn't as... rigorous
978
00:39:00,630 --> 00:39:02,215
as the court of law these days.
979
00:39:02,298 --> 00:39:03,258
But, unfortunately,
that's where many
980
00:39:03,341 --> 00:39:05,635
of these cases are being tried.
981
00:39:05,718 --> 00:39:09,097
Do we have any way of getting
to Eden at this point?
982
00:39:09,180 --> 00:39:11,474
Surely we‐we have her contact
information somewhere.
983
00:39:11,558 --> 00:39:13,935
That would leave us
incredibly exposed.
984
00:39:14,018 --> 00:39:16,563
God forbid she turns that around
and gives it to the reporter.
985
00:39:16,646 --> 00:39:18,147
Oh, fuck,
I didn't think of that‐‐
986

00:39:20,692 --> 00:39:23,570
I should just call up Petra
and tell her, okay, yes,
989
00:39:23,653 --> 00:39:24,404
there was a flirtation,
990
00:39:24,487 --> 00:39:26,531
but it was
completely consensual.
991
00:39:26,614 --> 00:39:28,908
‐That's the truth.
‐What do you think?
992
00:39:28,992 --> 00:39:32,161
I think it's risky,
reopening the subject.
993
00:39:32,245 --> 00:39:35,540
She might potentially interpret
that as an admission of guilt.
994
00:39:35,623 --> 00:39:38,001
We could try to kill
the piece completely.
995

‐I‐I'd rather we didn't, Joyce.

of the wrongs in our society.

that your interactions

her intentions,

just said "apologize."

get ahead of this.

Certain things happen,
other things don't.

is 'cause you can prove it.

I, uh, I just happened
to be down here
1052
00:42:10,528 --> 00:42:12,030
in the neighborhood,
and it occurred to me
1053
00:42:12,113 --> 00:42:13,656
that your office was
around here somewhere, so...
1054
00:42:13,740 --> 00:42:15,533
Please.
1055
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,912
‐It's such a great building.
‐It really is.
1056
00:42:19,996 --> 00:42:21,539
Where were your offices
before the,
1057
00:42:21,622 --> 00:42:22,290
before the Towers came down?
1058
00:42:22,373 --> 00:42:26,210
You know, um, I wasn't here.
1059
00:42:26,294 --> 00:42:27,587
I was still in school.
1060
00:42:27,670 --> 00:42:29,297
Of course.
[chuckles]
1061
00:42:29,380 --> 00:42:31,632
‐Oh, God, I'm so sorry.
‐Don't be.
1062
00:42:31,716 --> 00:42:33,801
Where were you?
1063
00:42:33,885 --> 00:42:34,927
I was in Brooklyn.
1064
00:42:35,011 --> 00:42:36,304
My daughter was, uh,
1065
00:42:36,387 --> 00:42:38,264
I had just dropped her
at preschool
1066
00:42:38,347 --> 00:42:39,098
and, uh, I was walking back
to the subway
1067
00:42:39,182 --> 00:42:41,350
and I heard the news.
1068
00:42:41,434 --> 00:42:42,894
Now she's getting married.
1069
00:42:42,977 --> 00:42:44,312
In fact, that's why
I'm over here.
1070
00:42:44,395 --> 00:42:45,188
I'm helping her plan
the wedding.
1071
00:42:45,271 --> 00:42:47,774
Wow. Time flies.
1072
00:42:47,857 --> 00:42:48,733
It really does.
1073
00:42:52,945 --> 00:42:54,447
So, anyway, I was, uh,
I was thinking about
1074
00:42:54,530 --> 00:42:56,365
the conversation
we had the other day,
1075
00:42:56,449 --> 00:42:59,869
and, uh, uh,
while I was driving,
1076
00:42:59,952 --> 00:43:02,205
and I just wanted to clarify
my answer to you,
1077
00:43:02,288 --> 00:43:04,290
‐if that's okay with you.
‐Of course.
1078
00:43:04,373 --> 00:43:06,125
Would you mind if we,
if we talked without the‐‐
1079
00:43:06,209 --> 00:43:08,294
Off the record?
1080
00:43:08,377 --> 00:43:10,046
Yeah, that's...
yeah, that's the term.
1081
00:43:10,129 --> 00:43:12,090
Of course.
1082
00:43:12,173 --> 00:43:13,716
Thank you.
1083
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:17,970
So I think I was just surprised
by your question, uh,
1084
00:43:18,054 --> 00:43:20,139
because it's been
so long since, uh,
1085
00:43:20,223 --> 00:43:21,724
Ms. Ellery and I had any,
1086
00:43:21,808 --> 00:43:24,644
had any, uh, involvement
with each other, and...
1087
00:43:24,727 --> 00:43:26,896
So much has happened since then,
I‐I guess I needed more time
1088
00:43:26,979 --> 00:43:29,649
to‐to really, truly remember
what‐what happened between us
1089
00:43:29,732 --> 00:43:31,734
on that book tour
all those years ago.
1090
00:43:31,818 --> 00:43:34,320
And the truth is that, uh,
1091
00:43:34,403 --> 00:43:38,574
Ms. Ellery and I, we did engage
in some flirtation.
1092
00:43:38,658 --> 00:43:40,868
But it never went beyond that.
1093
00:43:40,952 --> 00:43:41,828
I see.
1094
00:43:41,911 --> 00:43:43,496
Thanks for the clarification.
1095
00:43:43,579 --> 00:43:45,373
Do you mind
if I ask
1096
00:43:45,456 --> 00:43:47,208
some follow‐up questions?
1097
00:43:48,084 --> 00:43:50,002
Of course.
Yeah, that's why I'm here.
1098
00:43:50,086 --> 00:43:52,088
I want to be
completely transparent.
1099
00:43:52,171 --> 00:43:54,006
So, then you never had sex?
1100
00:43:55,550 --> 00:43:57,593
Uh, no. No.
1101
00:43:58,845 --> 00:44:00,346
No. I mean,
I, I respected Eden‐‐
1102
00:44:00,429 --> 00:44:03,641
Ms. Ellery.
I‐I...
1103
00:44:03,724 --> 00:44:05,852
And she was a colleague
doing a, doing a job,
1104
00:44:05,935 --> 00:44:07,812
and I‐I supported that.
1105
00:44:07,895 --> 00:44:09,397
Ms. Ellery, when we spoke,
1106
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:10,731
mentioned a party
in the Hamptons
1107
00:44:10,815 --> 00:44:14,068
at the home of a producer
named Rodney Callahan.
1108
00:44:14,152 --> 00:44:16,362
Okay.
1109
00:44:16,445 --> 00:44:18,114
You didn't pressure her
into sex that night?
1110
00:44:18,197 --> 00:44:19,198
Absolutely not.
1111
00:44:19,282 --> 00:44:20,241
Are you sure?
1112
00:44:20,324 --> 00:44:21,075
Yeah, I'm sure.
1113
00:44:21,159 --> 00:44:23,411
I‐I remember the night
very well.
1114
00:44:23,494 --> 00:44:26,873
It was... it was the night
my second wife went into labor.
1115
00:44:26,956 --> 00:44:28,791
And there was a giant hurricane,
which was flooding the roads,
1116
00:44:28,875 --> 00:44:32,086
and I‐I was...
doing everything in my power
1117
00:44:32,170 --> 00:44:33,880
to try and make it home to her.
1118
00:44:33,963 --> 00:44:34,589
That sounds dramatic.
1119
00:44:34,672 --> 00:44:38,759
Yeah... well, it all worked out.
1120
00:44:38,843 --> 00:44:40,469
Okay.
1121
00:44:40,553 --> 00:44:42,054
Well, I...
1122
00:44:42,138 --> 00:44:43,097
appreciate your candor.
1123
00:44:43,181 --> 00:44:44,265
Thank you.
1124
00:44:45,808 --> 00:44:47,560
[exhales]
Thank you.
1125
00:44:47,643 --> 00:44:50,062
Thank you.
1126
00:44:50,146 --> 00:44:52,273
Actually, Noah,
1127
00:44:52,356 --> 00:44:54,066
do you mind if I ask
a few more questions?
1128
00:44:54,150 --> 00:44:56,235
I was gonna have someone
call you to fact‐check,
1129
00:44:56,319 --> 00:44:58,988
but as long
as I've got you here...
1130
00:44:59,071 --> 00:45:01,199
Of course.
1131
00:45:01,282 --> 00:45:03,409
Do you mind if we...
go on the record?
1132
00:45:03,492 --> 00:45:05,953
Sure.
1133
00:45:06,037 --> 00:45:07,663
[exhales]
1134
00:45:07,747 --> 00:45:10,041
Okay, so I wanted
to go back
1135
00:45:10,124 --> 00:45:11,959
to the origins of Descent.
1136
00:45:12,043 --> 00:45:15,755
I found out, from other
interviews you gave at the time,
1137
00:45:15,838 --> 00:45:18,257
that much of it was written
in a rubber room
1138
00:45:18,341 --> 00:45:21,344
where you were sent on probation
from your teaching job
1139
00:45:21,427 --> 00:45:22,428
at Kings Science
and Tech.
1140
00:45:22,511 --> 00:45:23,429
That's right.
1141
00:45:23,512 --> 00:45:25,932
Why were you there?
1142
00:45:27,975 --> 00:45:29,936
Uh, I'd recently split
with my wife,
1143
00:45:30,019 --> 00:45:32,063
and I'd had a, uh...
1144
00:45:32,146 --> 00:45:36,567
completely consensual liaison
with another teacher.
1145
00:45:36,651 --> 00:45:37,568
"Liaison"?
1146
00:45:37,652 --> 00:45:41,155
I can't think
of any other way to describe it.
1147
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:42,657
Zoe Sobler, right?
1148
00:45:42,740 --> 00:45:44,492
She was a student teacher
at the time.
1149
00:45:44,575 --> 00:45:45,326
So, under
your supervision?
1150
00:45:45,409 --> 00:45:48,037
No, no, she wasn't...
1151
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:49,664
[stammers]
She‐she was a student teacher,
1152
00:45:49,747 --> 00:45:50,790
but she wasn't
under my supervis...
1153
00:45:50,873 --> 00:45:51,916
I mean, she‐she never...
1154
00:45:51,999 --> 00:45:53,501
she didn't teach
in my classroom.
1155
00:45:53,584 --> 00:45:54,210
She didn't report directly
to you‐‐
1156
00:45:54,293 --> 00:45:55,461
is that what you're saying?
1157
00:45:55,544 --> 00:45:56,504
No. I mean, yes.
1158
00:45:56,587 --> 00:45:57,630
That‐that is what I'm saying.
1159
00:45:57,713 --> 00:45:58,798
She didn't report to me.
1160
00:45:58,881 --> 00:46:00,633
Okay. So I had that wrong.
1161
00:46:00,716 --> 00:46:01,717
Well, I'm sure there are records
that could prove‐‐
1162
00:46:01,801 --> 00:46:03,552
Likewise,
do you remember a student
1163
00:46:03,636 --> 00:46:06,806
from your seminar at Livingston?
1164
00:46:06,889 --> 00:46:08,391
Audrey Nelson.
1165
00:46:10,935 --> 00:46:12,311
Uh, yes. Yeah.
1166
00:46:12,395 --> 00:46:14,480
I understand she has
a new memoir coming out.
1167
00:46:14,563 --> 00:46:16,357
I'm so proud
of her, it's...
1168
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,359
Yeah, I read it.
1169
00:46:18,442 --> 00:46:19,902
It's very good.
1170
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:22,780
But, uh,
most of it centers
1171
00:46:22,863 --> 00:46:25,241
around the main character's
relationship
1172
00:46:25,324 --> 00:46:27,201
with her seminar
professor,
1173
00:46:27,285 --> 00:46:29,161
an aging white novelist
1174
00:46:29,245 --> 00:46:32,498
who is verbally
and emotionally abusive.
1175
00:46:32,581 --> 00:46:34,000
At one point
he literally tells her
1176
00:46:34,083 --> 00:46:39,880
that she can't be a writer
because she has no inner life.
1177
00:46:39,964 --> 00:46:42,133
She also describes
a conversation
1178
00:46:42,216 --> 00:46:43,843
in which the professor claims
1179
00:46:43,926 --> 00:46:46,095
that sex doesn't need
to be consensual
1180
00:46:46,178 --> 00:46:48,681
in order for a woman
to enjoy it.
1181
00:46:50,141 --> 00:46:51,684
Noah,
1182
00:46:51,767 --> 00:46:54,603
are you the professor
in that book?
1183
00:46:54,687 --> 00:46:55,563
[sighs]
1184
00:46:55,646 --> 00:46:59,567
I, I mean, possibly, I...
1185
00:46:59,650 --> 00:47:03,946
But if so, then she has taken
a few very nuanced
1186
00:47:04,030 --> 00:47:05,531
and complicated conversations,
1187
00:47:05,614 --> 00:47:07,575
uh, completely out of context.
1188
00:47:07,658 --> 00:47:08,326
I spoke to Audrey.
1189
00:47:08,409 --> 00:47:10,202
Oh, okay.
1190
00:47:10,286 --> 00:47:11,370
So that question was rhetorical.
1191
00:47:11,454 --> 00:47:14,623
She paints you as a rather
unapologetic misogynist.
1192
00:47:14,707 --> 00:47:17,835
A misogynist? I...
1193
00:47:17,918 --> 00:47:20,046
For fuck's sake, Petra,
I‐I‐I was...
1194
00:47:20,129 --> 00:47:21,881
I'd just gotten out of jail when
I was teaching that seminar.
1195
00:47:21,964 --> 00:47:25,843
I‐I had even attempted suicide,
so, yes,
1196
00:47:25,926 --> 00:47:28,929
in my state of mind
at that time of my life,
1197
00:47:29,013 --> 00:47:31,057
I was probably...
1198
00:47:31,140 --> 00:47:33,392
not the greatest kind
of instructor.
1199
00:47:33,476 --> 00:47:35,644
But...
1200
00:47:35,728 --> 00:47:38,356
to tell her I wasn't responding
to her material
1201
00:47:38,439 --> 00:47:39,523
is not a criminal act.
1202
00:47:39,607 --> 00:47:42,443
She's obviously trying to...
1203
00:47:42,526 --> 00:47:44,570
conflate
the current political climate
1204
00:47:44,653 --> 00:47:46,655
with my very brief association
with her
1205
00:47:46,739 --> 00:47:48,449
in order to direct attention
to her book.
1206
00:47:48,532 --> 00:47:50,326
I mean...
1207
00:47:50,409 --> 00:47:52,703
[sighs] Come on,
you're an intelligent woman.
1208
00:47:52,787 --> 00:47:53,954
Isn't that obvious
to you?
1209
00:47:56,624 --> 00:48:01,212
Audrey told me that much
of Descent was autobiographical.
1210
00:48:01,295 --> 00:48:02,546
Your second wife, Alison Bailey,
1211
00:48:02,630 --> 00:48:03,631
committed suicide.
1212
00:48:03,714 --> 00:48:06,342
Could that be,
in any way,
1213
00:48:06,425 --> 00:48:09,470
related to your depiction
of her in that book?
1214
00:48:09,553 --> 00:48:11,931
[sighs]
1215
00:48:15,267 --> 00:48:16,560

Yeah. I understand.

Standard procedure
