Take Me Page #5

---

We rented a warehouse.

We were good.

For the first time in my life, I

didn't feel like a total failure.

But then...

But then I had to walk away.

Get out of town.

I guess Kendra figured

she didn't need me anymore.

Got the lawyers involved,

told a story or two.

I never saw it coming.

And here I am.

Did you love her?

Yeah.

Yeah. But I guess she showed me.

Can I take a shower?

I feel pretty gross, you know,

I've got all this...

Tape all over me.

I really don't think

it's a good idea.

I promise you I'm not

gonna make any trouble.

Where is she now?

Who knows?

Who f***ing cares?

You know, I was married once.

What did he do?

Um...

He left.

He broke my heart.

He didn't really want me.

I can't really blame him 'cause

I don't know if I want me.

I just sat on the ball gag.

Trust me,

it's been worse places.

Don't say that.

That thing was just in my mouth.

What are you doing?

You're really not a kidnapper.

So, if I say that I won't go to the

cops this whole thing is over?

It's all done?

Yeah, more or less.

So you'd let me go?

Yeah, I would.

So I won't go to the cops.

I'll tell my boss, you know, something.

I'll make up some kind of a...

Story.

- You'd do that?

- Yeah.

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

There's just one thing

that I kind of want to know.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah?

Your ex-wife,

What did she say?

It's just that she must've made

up some terrible accusations,

And I'm wondering what

They are, or were.

Why are you asking me that?

Clearly, she's the one

that set us up.

There's nobody else that would

have that kind of vendetta.

There's no vendetta.

Okay. So can you tell me

what she said?

It has nothing to do with this.

Just drop it.

I think you're afraid

to tell me.

I think you're afraid to tell me

because it's true

And because you want me

to like you.

But you know what, ray?

I don't like you.

And I'm never going to like you.

Do you want to know why?

Because I think everything

you've said is bullshit.

What I think is that

you like being in control.

I think you like

tying people up.

I think you like feeling big.

What did you do, ray?

Did you tie her up?

Did you push her around?

Just when we practiced

the simulations.

You hit her, didn't you?

Just the once

because she asked me to.

Did you like it?

Do you wanna hit me?

No.

Come on, ray.

I've been really bad.

- Are you sure you don't

wanna hit me? -No.

Oops.

That belonged to my mother.

I'm sorry, mom.

You're being inconsiderate.

Am I? Do I need to be punished?

Don't!

I'm so sorry.

Ground-line hitch.

Constrictor knot.

Learned it at camp.

Okay, that's not a pellet gun.

Your brother-in-law,

Really should have found

a better hiding place.

Listen, Anna. If it's the keys to the car

you're looking for, they're in my pocket.

No, no, no, no.

No. We are way past that.

I'm really sorry, Anna. You know,

none of this was supposed to happen.

But it did.

It did happen.

So now we've got to work

with what we've got.

Unfortunately, ray,

I'm not quite as creative

as you are.

Listen, do you think you could

loosen these a little?

I can't feel my hands.

Okay, well, look.

If you want the cops to come out

here, that's not gonna happen

Because the phone,

they don't work this far out.

I know that.

I'd like you to

get in the trunk.

Now.

No, come on.

Don't piss me off, ray.

Get... In...

The trunk.

- Okay.

- Get in the trunk!

F***! F***!

You could've blown my foot off!

You could've f***ing crippled me!

Get in the trunk.

Okay, look,

Please, I'm begging of you,

don't do this.

Okay? There's...

I know I'm f***ed up, okay?

I know I need help,

But please don't make me

get in there.

Leave me here. I don't wanna go.

I wanna stay.

Just do it.

Just shoot me. Just kill me.

No.

No. No, don't fire.

Don't fire, don't fire.

F***!

Are you done?

I don't have time for this.

I need you to

get into the trunk.

All right.

Want me to go in the trunk?

Get in the trunk, ray!

Get in the trunk!

In the trunk I go.

See? I'm getting in the trunk.

I'd like you to do it

without the narration.

God damn it.

You ready to test your theory

about microcosms out?

Wait, wait, wait.

What are you gonna do to me?

Welcome back.

Sh*t.

Are we at

the police station or...

No, we're at the top of my office

parking lot. I hope that that's okay.

It's just I've a lot

of work to get done.

A person in my position normally can't

disappear for an entire weekend

Without repercussions, so.

I'm sorry. What?

Ray.

You can drop the act.

It's been 48 hours. The weekend's

over, the scenario's done.

I called the police

on my way over.

You really were not kidding about

them being concerned, were you?

Does that usually happen?

What am I thinking?

You must be dehydrated.

I know I certainly was

when you had me back there.

And before you even ask,

I called the bank.

They're in the process of

transferring the other 2500

From my account over to yours.

Of course, I didn't really

factor in for incidentals,

And damages, and medical expenses

that were incurred during our run.

Do you have a ballpark

for that, maybe?

You know what?

Just think about it.

Whatever you think is fair,

let me know.

Fax it over, and we'll...

We'll settle it. Ray.

I am really impressed with how

in-depth your service went.

I mean, the second location,

those crazy stories,

The role reversal in the end

with the rifle. I mean,

That must've taken

tremendous planning,

Not to mention the appropriate

foresight to gauge all the variables.

I'm sorry if I went too far. It's

just I get very into the role play.

I like to imagine...

What it would feel like if I

were really in that situation,

And just...

Can I talk to you

about the slapping?

Honestly, I would've like

a little bit more of it.

I kept trying to goad you and goad you,

but you really wouldn't take the bait.

But that...

The choke at the end,

Was that improvised?

That was a... That was amazing.

Yeah. Thanks.

I really think that your concept

could have legs

With the right

strategy behind it.

- Yeah?

- Absolutely.

I'm a consultant,

this is what I do for a living.

I gotta get going.

Gotta get going.

Think about it. Think it over. You

don't have to let me know right now.

See you around, ray.
