- No.

- Yeah.

(RINGS DOORBELL)

- Can I help you?

- Yeah, my name's Rich Boyd.

Your son put my son in the hospital

and I wanna talk to him right now.

His name's Jason.

- I don't have time for...

- Sometimes he's Jessica.

He's got a little bit

of an identity crisis.

He harassed my son.

He's sadistic. He needs f***ing help.

- He needs f***ing help?

- Yeah.

- My son needs help?

- Yeah.

Your kid tried to hang himself

and my kid needs help?

You knew? You f***ing knew!

Shut the car down. Get out. Get out.

Come on, get out! Step out slowly.

Come on, get out!

I'm coming. Take it easy.

You stay in the car.

Stay right there.

- What is this? Huh?

- What are you talking about?

You're following me. You're stalking me.

You come into my business.

You break into my house.

Do you think I'm stupid or something?

NINA:
Just come with me!

No, just leave me alone.

Get your stuff and let's go!

What is wrong with you?

Seriously, what the f*** is wrong with you!

Do you have any idea what you've done?

No. Not just to me, to all my friends,

to Harvey!

You think Harvey exploits me?

I like what I do! Do you get that?

I don't wanna be saved from this!

I turn people on, so what?

You couldn't turn a f***ing light on,

you know that?

You're the one who exploits people.

You exploited me!

You...

You're the one who f***ing exploits people.

I'm f***ing done.

Okay, okay.

KYLE:
I'm not gonna listen.

You get the f*** away from me.

Let's talk about it.

No, we're not gonna

f***ing talk about it.

- DEREK:
What's your plan?

- Don't move.

- Shoot me in front of my wife?

- Stay right there.

- The safety's on.

- Shut up!

Steven? It's Cindy Hull.

Cindy?

Derek!

Dad!

Dad!

(JASON GRUNTING)

You okay?

Yeah.

Okay. Okay.

CINDY:
Stop, stop, stop.

DEREK:
You do this a lot?

You send a lot of married women

your picture?

- Can we talk here?

- Derek, stop.

- DEREK:
How does it feel?

- It was a mistake.

Yeah, we're gonna keep going.

Have you ever had a gun

in your face before?

- I have.

- CINDY:
Derek, he didn't do anything.

He did.

Don't do this.

Please tell him

it was harmless, Cindy.

Derek, it's not his fault. It's my fault.

What are you talking about?

He talked to me...

When you wouldn't.

He told me about taking

his wife to chemo...

And how cold her hands were,

and the meds.

And I told him about...

And I told him about... Ethan.

I told him about our little baby boy.

(DEREK SOBBING)

It's okay. Please, baby.

Come on, give me the gun.

(EXHALES)

Just leave her. It's fine. Let's go.

(NINA COUGHING)

(VEHICLE STARTING)

Oh, my God!

I'm okay.

- No, you're not.

- I'll explain. Just let me...

I love you.

I love you, too.

Everything...

Everything that I love

is in this room.

(SOBBING)
