Indiscretion Page #5

Can I look at

those at home?

Yeah, sure.

No problem.

Okay, I'll see you later.

Okay. Bye.

-Love you.

-Love you too.

Oh, honey, don't forget

tennis tonight, 7:00.

Bill and Charlotte.

Don't be late.

-I won't.

-Okay, bye.

Bye.

Victor, that was

very immature of you.

You could have

ended my marriage.

I think you're doing that

just fine on your own.

Excuse me?

You need to go.

You know where to find me.

Jesus. Sh*t.

Oh, my God.

Why do you

think he did this?

Why did Victor do this?

Honest to God,

I don't know.

I think he was

obsessed with

what he perceived

our life to be,

that something was

missing in his life

and he wanted it.

And if he couldn't

have it, then he was

going to destroy it.

I don't know why

you're going hunting again.

It's just creepy.

Well, I have to prepare

for the governor's

hunting trip, honey.

All right, I want you

to hold this now.

-Oh, it's heavy.

-Yeah.

Now place the stock inside

your shoulder nice and tight.

Okay.

Put your chin right

on the stock there.

Now I want you to aim.

See that big tree right

over there by the boathouse?

Yeah.

Why don't you imagine

that's the deer?

Okay.

Imagine that's

the deer, okay?

Okay.

Can you see it

through the sight?

-Uhuh.

-Imagine it.

All right, now,

the important thing

when you're hunting,

is to understand

what the prey is thinking.

Probably thinking you're

dressed pretty silly.

That's not what

the deer is thinking.

What is it

thinking, then?

The deer thinks

about three things.

One, food.

Two, "Am I in danger?"

And three,

making baby deer.

Now, put the gun up again.

Look down the scope.

And remember,

with this rifle,

you only get three shots

before you need to reload.

- Okay.

- Okay?

But the key is to keep

the deer calm, okay?

And then when you're

ready to fire,

you take a deep breath,

place your finger

on the trigger...

And...

Bam!

-Oh, my God.

-Oh, sorry, honey.

Jake.

God damn it.

Sorry, honey.

I'll get it.

Come on in.

Get out of the rain.

You should not have

come to my work.

You should not

be calling me,

and you should definitely

not reach out to me at home.

Come on, I was

just having fun.

I mean, how are you

ever gonna forgive me?

Stop it.

I just came here

so that you would know

that this is over.

This has to stop.

We'll just...

let's just grab a drink.

-Come on.

-I don't want a drink.

Victor, I want you

to understand that

this is over.

Why are you doing this?

Why am I doing this?

It's 'cause I love you.

You need to let it go.

Okay?

It's over!

We have

something special,

Veronica.

I mean, don't

you feel that?

This is

once-in-a-lifetime stuff.

I will not let you

destroy my marriage!

Destroy your marriage?

He cheated on you.

You cheated on him.

But why'd he cheat?

Why'd you cheat?

Why are you here?

I mean, come on.

Just think about it.

Just come. Come look.

I have a surprise for you.

Just one little surprise,

all right?

And then I'm leaving.

All right,

then you can leave.

Come on.

That's how you see me?

Veronica, you're

consuming my thoughts.

I mean, all I do

is think about you.

You don't like...

You don't like it?

I mean, you say you

want to help people,

but it seems that you're

hellbent on trying to hurt me.

The last thing I wanted

to do was hurt anybody,

especially you.

All I do is think

about different ways

I can kill myself.

Don't say that, Victor.

If I did, it'd be

your fault.

You understand

that, right?

I can help you.

With the...

with the proper treatment

and maybe some medication,

you'll feel more balanced.

I don't want any more

medication or treatments!

I want you!

You is what I want!

That is not possible!

Why?

Because you can't,

and now I'm gonna leave.

Okay, Victor?

You need to accept that.

-I'm leaving!

-No, you're not, all right?

Look, I want you. I want you.

Stop it. Stop it.

-You can't have me. No.

-Okay, listen to me.

-No.

-You're my soul mate.

-You're part of me now.

-No, I'm not your soul mate.

-I'm not! I'm not!

-Stop. Stop fighting me.

Let me go! Let me go,

or I'm gonna scream!

-Scream!

-I'm gonna scream.

Scream.

Stop it! Stop it!

Stop it, stop it,

stop it, please.

I love you, not him.

He doesn't give

a sh*t about you.

You can't see love until it's

looking at you in the face.

Look at me.

I love you.

Please let me go,

Victor. Stop, stop!

Stop, Victor!

Stop it, stop it!

Please, don't do this!

Please!

Tell me you love me!

Just tell me you love me!

Say it! Say it!

- Stop! Stop! Stop!

- Please say it!

- I need to hear it!

- I love you.

And when did you first learn

about the danger in him?

A short while after I had

purchased the sculpture

and in such a way

kind of, um...

in some way involved Victor

in our lives tangentially.

A good friend

and colleague

of mine called

who had treated him before

at the VA hospital

for emotional

and mental issues

perhaps relating to his time

in the service, perhaps not,

and warned me that

she felt he was developing

a dangerous obsession

with Jake and our family.

And that came as

a complete surprise to me,

but I really didn't think

that it would lead

to anything, you know?

You sometimes develop

political stalkers.

You have people who

become obsessed with you,

-but they don't--

-Wait, wait, wait, wait...

The moment your colleague says

that he's obsessed with you,

you don't call

the cops at first?

He made me feel like anything

could happen, you know?

It was so...

I haven't felt that way

in such a long time that...

I guess I just wanted

male attention.

I don't know.

It was stupid.

I'm really scared, Harper.

I think you need

to tell Jake

and go to the police.

I can't risk

the press finding out.

I mean, it could derail

Jake's campaign.

I mean, he's in enough

scandal already.

Is there any way

that I could

see your files?

Is there any history

of aggressive behavior

or anything like that?

Anything you need.

What if you

put down in writing

that he's obsessed

with me and my family

and that he's made

threats to me and Jake?

Yes, and I already have

that he has a potential

violent streak.

Okay, that's good.

So if he does

anything more,

we can just use your records

to have him committed,

which will

buy us some time

until at least

after the election.

I'm gonna add all this

into the file, okay?

But you have to promise me

to stay away from that guy.

Don't respond to him.

Don't acknowledge him.

And for God's sake,

don't see him again ever.

That's the worst

possible thing you can do

with a guy like that,

all right?

Okay.

-Okay.

-Thank you.

We're gonna get

through this.

It's gonna be okay.

Well, you have to assess

whether this is someone

who presents any threat

to your family or not,

and I honestly,

at the time, I didn't...

...didn't know the level

of his obsession.

You know, there are

people that want to

get your autograph.

There are people that want
