Look at the f***ing phone!

Get to bed!

Look what he's done!

I'm telling you... No, please!

No, wait!

Hold her down!

No! F*** you!

Hold her down, guys.

F*** you! No!

No!

Help!

A dead body was discovered.

Oh, my God. What?

Nate Hoffman.

His body was found

in the old ECT room.

He OD'd.

Somehow got hold of

a sh*t-ton of fentanyl.

Poor guy.

He was doing so well.

Not a word of this

around the other patients.

And you hear anyone else

talking about it,

you shut it down.

Of course.

I-I... I'm not gonna hurt you.

I'm not gonna touch you.

I don't want you

to feel uncomfortable.

I just want to be here with you.

Oh, I disconnected them.

You going to kill me?

H-How could you even

ask me that?

I love you so much.

I mean, come on.

You must know that

at this point.

From the moment we met,

I have loved you.

Did you kill Nate?

Nate... Nate chose

what happened to him.

Just like I choose

to protect you

from any and all threats

to your well-being.

My mom?

What did you do?

Angela is like family to me.

How did you get her ring?

She gave it to me.

No.

You're lying.

You're lying to my face

about my mother.

I told her about you.

I told her what you are.

She never would've...

She came all the way

from Boston for me.

So did I.

No, no.

She said she was coming back.

What did you do to her?

We-We-We talked.

Look, we shared our feelings.

She-She told me

how her and your father met.

And then I told her

how you and I met.

And she said she wanted us

to have their ring.

Oh, my God. God.

Sawyer?

That ring can be as sacred

to you and me

as it was to Angela and Mike.

Don't you f***ing

say his name!

Don't you ever say his name!

Sawyer.

Help me!

Help!

F***.

Sawyer.

Look.

I have this cabin

in the woods

in New Hampshire,

in the White Mountains.

It-It's totally

off the grid.

It's got its own solar,

its own well. It's...

It's so beautiful.

Sawyer, we could be happy.

We will...

We will... We will...

We will be happy.

We will never be happy!

You could never make me happy.

Look at where we are, David.

Look at what you've done.

There is no path

to happiness from here.

For either of us.

Sawyer, I've seen you.

I-I've watched you at work.

I've seen you

with your friends.

Y-You're not happy.

Y-You just float through life,

and nothing ever touches you.

And you try...

You try really hard

to fit in.

I've seen that.

But you can't.

You can't because...

there's a piece missing.

And you're what's missing?

Why not?

I f***ing hate you is why.

And I love you so much.

You don't know

the first thing about me.

How can you say that?

We spent months together.

No.

You were in the same room

while I talked to your father

because you had nothing

to say to him.

He didn't even know I was there.

Yeah, well, he was your father,

and you couldn't think of

two words to say to him.

You keep saying

that you love me,

but you're not capable

of loving anybody.

Not true.

Losing his mind

was the best thing

that could have happened to him.

Do you think

he'd be proud of you?

How you've turned out?

Stop it.

What?

What? Too mean?

Not the girl you love?

You don't f***ing know me!

I do!

Well, then love me

like this, David.

Love me like this.

Love me when I'm a b*tch.

Love me when I cheat.

Love me when I shut down.

Love all the sh*t about me.

That's not you.

That's what trying to make

yourself like everybody else

in the world has done to you.

Really?

You're a f***ing simpleton.

Do you know that?

You are a f***ing dunce.

Sawyer.

That sweet,

kind girl in your head?

That's not me.

Can I ask you a question, David?

Who did this to you?

Who rejected you?

Did she let you

down easy? Huh?

"I'm flattered, David,

but I don't want to

ruin our friendship."

She ghost you? Hmm?

She block your number?

Stop.

She unfriend you on Facebook?

Vanish from your life?

Or was it worse?

Did she look like

she was going to be sick?

Hmm?

Did she laugh in your face?

Did she tell all her friends?

It's not you.

No? 'Cause I'm

telling you, David.

That's me.

That's what I would've done.

That's what I did.

That's who you love.

That's who you f***ing dream of.

That's who you've been stalking

for the past two years!

Am I everything you'd

hoped I'd be, David?

Hmm?

Is this what you imagine

when you dream of us living

in your f***ing cabin?

Two years!

Two years, David.

Shh!

What a waste.

You don't mean this.

What a f***ing waste.

You could've met someone else

in that time.

You know?

People are pretty pathetic.

I love you.

Child-killers gets visits from

women who see the good in them.

Someone who loves a child-killer

might be able to see

some good in you.

Because no one else f***ing could.

No one else could, David.

No one else...

Do it. F***ing do it.

Now I see, David.

Now I see how you love me.

Check this out.

Our friend Nate

was taking notes.

All the shady stuff

that happens down here.

He's gonna need

a bigger notebook.

Second floor should see this.

Um, you did the right thing

bringing this to me.

Good morning.

I...

I brought you breakfast.

It's your favorite.

Two egg,

bacon and cheese biscuit,

hash browns, large coffee.

You ate that at your desk

every morning.

You telling me that just killed

what little appetite I had.

Yeah.

Most important meal of the day.

Thanks for this.

You're welcome.

I'm not used to people

being so considerate.

Most of the guys I know

would neither know nor remember

what I have for breakfast.

I know everything about you.

I know your favorite book.

It's Pale Fire.

Your favorite song,

"Walking After Midnight"

by Patsy Cline.

Yeah.

My dad used to play it

around the house.

I know you want to go

to Portugal.

You had your favorite vacation

there when you were 12.

Okay, enough.

Maybe you do know me.

You know you can't keep me

down here indefinitely.

People are going to be

looking for me.

My mom, my job.

You could call your mom

from the cabin.

You really want to go back

to that job?

How are we going to live, David?

You secretly rich?

There's this old diner

that's for sale, by the cabin.

I was thinking

we could renovate it.

You've thought of everything.

I think of us all the time.

How are you going to explain

my absence from the ward?

I already changed

the duration of your stay.

As far as

the administration knows,

they think your insurance

already ran out

and that you're gone.

There's a back door...

leads out to the woods.

We could go right now.

What if I say no?

What if I say let me go...

and we'll start over.

We'll go out for drinks,

get to know each other.

I'd lose you.

You know that.

You'd go back to your old life.

And I-I don't fit there.

I only belong with you.

I know it's a lot.

It's not that, Da...

It's not only that.

God, I don't know

how to say this.

W-What?

Sawyer, you can say anything.

Have you ever...

Have you ever been

with anyone else?

Beyond your feelings for me,
