- No! I did not!

Derek, you said it.

You said it.

If I go in that room and tell them,

it'll be the truth.

Is that what you want?

You want me to tell them the truth?

Ready when you are.

Hey, hey.

Listen to me!

What are you doing?

Hit me. You can do

anything you want to me.

You know what?

It doesn't matter what you do or what

you say or what goes on in that brain...

...because there's never gonna be

anything between us, never.

Okay, Lisa?

Derek.

Derek?

I realize we went a little long.

I thought some of the questions you

raised were worth going over...

...and I apologize for the length of it.

Those of you with tee times, and I

have one myself, we will still make...

Everything okay?

- Top you off.

- Thank you.

- D?

- Oh, no, no, thanks.

You're not drinking?

No, not this evening, man.

I'm sticking to the iced tea.

That's a first.

- You feeling all right?

- Yeah.

He's just growing up.

Man.

No goddamn way. Come on.

No. Hey. Hey, get up.

Hey. Lisa.

Come on, get up, get up.

You can't stay here.

Come on. I'll drag you out of here.

Let's-

No. No, no, no.

I need a paramedic up here at 583.

I have a woman in the room.

I think she's overdosed on some sort

of prescription pills.

Yeah, yeah. Hurry! Now, please!

Okay.

Breathe. Breathe.

B*tch, breathe.

- Derek. What's going on?

- I'II call you.

Hello?

Hi, Ben. It's Sharon.

Hi, Sharon, hi.

I'm sorry to disturb you.

I was trying to reach Derek,

and he usually calls me by now.

I can't reach him on his cell phone.

I was hoping he might be with you?

Yeah, there- There was

a kind of incident.

Is he all right?

Ben?

I think he should tell you himself.

Ben, you're scaring me now.

Where is he?

Excuse me. Is she okay?

The doctors are still working on her.

Derek. Oh, my God. I've been worried

out of my mind. Are you okay?

What are you doing here? It's okay,

it's okay. I'm good, I'm good.

- Where's Kyle?

- Julie is watching him.

- What happened?

- Sharon.

Mr. Charles. How you doing?

My name is Monica Reese.

I'm the investigating detective.

- Detective?

- Yeah. This is my wife, Sharon.

- She just got here.

- So you haven't told her?

- What?

- Would you prefer to talk in private?

- In private? What's happening, Derek?

- It's okay. Please, we can talk.

I've gone over the initial statement

you gave to the police on the scene.

I just need to clarify a few things,

okay?

Let's sit down.

Detective Reese, 0300 hours,

January 15th.

This young woman, Lisa Sheridan,

she works in your office?

Lisa the temp?

What happened to her?

Yeah, she tried to hurt herself.

Why? What? Well, what did she do?

Mrs. Charles, I'm sorry.

I need to get the story

in your husband's own words.

Apparently, so do I.

Mr. Charles, this Lisa Sheridan-

Yeah, she worked with us

two weeks.

What, you've only known her

for two weeks?

Approximately two weeks.

Long enough for her to fantasize

that you two were having an affair?

- What?

- No. No.

She came on to me

at the Christmas party...

...and then in the parking garage.

And then she showed up

at the retreat...

...at my hotel, and I rejected her.

And when- Excuse me.

And when you rejected her...

...she tried to commit suicide, naked,

in your bed, in your hoteI room.

Wait, wait, wait. She was naked

in your bed, Derek?

- Mrs. Charles.

- She was naked in your hotel room?

Please.

- Would you say this affair was-

- There was no affair.

There was no affair.

You're saying she made the thing up

in her head with no help from you?

That is exactly what I'm saying.

Why do you think she'd pick you?

I don't know. Maybe I said something

that she took the wrong way.

- Baby, come on.

- Like what? Like what?

What exactly did you say

that she took the wrong way, Derek?

- I'm gonna have to ask you to le-

- No, no, she's not going anywhere.

I didn't say anything to her.

I did not lead her on.

You had no idea she'd be

at the hotel?

I don't know how she got

in my room.

She told the hotel clerk she was your

wife and she wanted to surprise you.

- I have nothing to say to you.

- Stop, Sharon.

- Did you have sex with her?

- No, I did not...

...have sex with her.

Sharon, come on. I need for you and I

not to fall apart right now.

- Mr. Charles. Please.

- Hold on.

Just stay here.

Please just stay here.

Look, I don't care if you're doing

this girl or not.

I'm not doing this girl, okay?

Never have.

- Okay.

- Okay.

Detective?

It's the doctor. I'll be right back.

Sharon.

I swear to God

this is just a misunderstanding.

A misunderstanding.

A girl tries to kill herself because of

you, it's just a misunderstanding?

You think I'm gonna believe that?

- Do you believe me?

- No, I don't believe you!

- You didn't even call your son back-

- Sharon, listen.

Seems they pumped her out in time.

Probably tomorrow they'll take her

out of the ICU...

...and take her up to the fifth floor

for psychiatric evaluation.

That's great news. Okay, thank you.

She was lucid enough to give a name

to the doctor in case of emergencies.

You still wanna stick to your story?

Sharon. Sharon,

you gonna talk to me?

Thanks, Julie. I'll call you tomorrow.

Sharon, is everything okay?

Julie. Hey, thank you.

Sharon.

Hey.

Sharon.

Can we talk?

Sharon, I just- Now listen,

Sharon, all I wanna do-

What, what, what, Derek? What?

What do you want?

- I just wanna talk to you.

- Now you wanna talk.

- Sharon, you know me.

- No, I don't know you.

I don't know you. I know the Derek

that told me everything.

- Oh, come on.

- But you? I have no idea who you are.

Sharon, I was wrong.

If I hadn't gone to the ER,

if I hadn't called Ben...

...would you have even told me?

What are you, crazy?

Of course I would have.

Like you told me

about the Christmas party, huh?

Or what about the parking garage?

Yes, you told me about you being

in a parking garage with this woman.

What else haven't you told me,

Derek?

All I'm hearing

are things you haven't told me.

I was wrong. I should've told you

the truth from the-

You should have! Why didn't you?

Because I didn't think

it was a big deal in the first place...

...and then I was embarrassed.

- How do I say it without looking-?

- Guilty? Guilty?

I'm your wife, Derek. You're supposed

to trust me. You let this happen.

You think I encouraged this?

Don't give me that innocent bullshit.

I was there at your desk. I saw you.

I saw how you played games

and you played those girls...

...but you never did that to me.

Until now.

What is this? Is this about me

wanting to go to schooI?

God, Sharon, it is not like that.

This woman is sick, okay?

Nothing happened between-

Do I ever ask you for anything?

I don't ask you for anything.

All I asked you was to be honest.

- I told you the truth!

- No.

- I did.

- No, you didn't.

- I told you the truth.

- No, you didn't. You lied.

We made a vow

on our wedding day...

...that we would telI each other
