[music concludes]
You both have been
consumed by your grief,
consumed by your guilt,
consumed by your work.
You've escaped into your work
rather than confront your reality.
You've allowed yourself to be consumed
rather than just face your
lives as they are now.
But we've been through
this how many times before?
We need to pull you out of yourselves.
We need to end the cycle
of self consumption.
This Cannibalism.
And by we, I mean you,
you are the only ones who can do this.
I can provide this setting.
I can provide a means to an end.
I can provide insight and
guidance, but the cure, the cure.
The cure is within you.
You must reach inside
yourselves and find it.
And when you find it,
grab it and pull it out.
Like a surgeon, removing
a malignant tumor,
with a dull knife.
[gentle ominous music]
We're at a plateau.
We've been at a plateau.
You're too comfortable, too protected,
too ingrained in your environments,
your work, your careers,
your existence.
We need to remove you
from your comfort zones.
We need to place you somewhere
where you can start with a blank slate.
Nothing to fall back on.
[speaking in foreign language], all that.
Like a retreat.
Like that.
How long?
A month.
That'll never work.
My business would never
be able to function.
I know, I get it.
Your work,
which is why I'm recommending,
why I'm prescribing a week.
A week.
Surely you can make that work.
Surely you can both find time
in your busy, busy schedules
in order to save your marriage.
That's unfair.
You're very quiet.
I'm sure you must have some thoughts.
I can make that work.
Good. It's a start.
Both of you, and we've
talked about this before,
have pulled away from each other,
rather than coming together.
There's always some reason,
some excuse not to come together.
You make it sound so easy.
Do I?
It's not, but it is the next step.
And I need you to take it.
Both of you.
And no cell phones.
You've gotta be fucking kidding me.
Look, I'm sure that
both of you have someone
or someones who can handle anything
short of a complete meltdown.
Oh, and there's a landline at the house
in case of emergencies.
I want you to stop [indistinct]
[heavy machine whirring over speech]
All right.
[whirring cuts]
[gentle ominous music]
There. Settled.
I'll email you the specifics.
Oh. And one more thing.
I've had good results with these.
What's this?
A mild psychotropic.
Almost over the counter
to take the edge off.
I don't like pills.
One a day.
Interesting design.
I like to keep things interesting.
Rock a by, baby, rock a by, baby
Rock a by, baby
When the wind blows
The cradle will drop, rock a by, baby
On the treetop, when the bow breaks
The cradle will fall
Down comes baby
And down will come baby
Cradle and all
Cradle and all
[gentle ominous music]
[phone ringing]
[phone resumes ringing]
[Child] Hello?
[gentle ominous music]
[thunder rumbles]
Do you hear that?
What?
It's like a phone ringing.
No. Come on.
[door clicks open]
[door slams shut]
[light switch clicks]
[light switch clicks]
Laundry room.
Small bathroom.
Another bathroom.
In case I stink the other one up, hmm?
Okay.
[light switch clicking]
[indistinct whispering]
Nothing.
Spooky.
Wasn't kidding about the landline.
[phone cord scrapes]
Animal lover, huh?
Ah.
That's more like it.
Let's see, what-
All right.
[indistinct whispering]
I'll be spending some time with you.
[footsteps patter]
Old.
[faucet running]
Old.
[pages rustling]
[book thuds]
[footsteps patter]
Bedrooms are up here.
Are you coming up?
[footsteps patter]
It's a big house.
I'm sleeping there.
There's another bedroom down the hall.
Fine.
I guess I'll take that one.
[footsteps patter]
[door shuts]
[light ominous music]
I'll grab the luggage.
[rain pattering]
[clothes rustling]
[gentle ominous music]
[gentle ominous music resumes]
[crickets chirping]
[lighter clicks]
I'll make dinner.
Okay.
[large thud]
Are you okay?
Did you drop something?
No.
[blade slicing]
[large thud]
There.
You didn't hear that?
I don't hear anything.
Bullshit!
Fine.
[ominous rumbling]
[door clicks open]
[rumbling cuts]
[intense baby cry]
[knife thuds]
I think the pasta is ready.
I don't know what you're playing at.
I'm not playing at anything.
[stamping feet]
No.
It's really good.
I'm sure it is.
I got it from the Italian shop.
The one you like.
I don't feel like drinking.
[wine pouring]
Do you know anything
about American football?
There are 11 men on each side,
and it's sort of like an unstoppable force
and an immovable object,
or is that like a immovable
force and an unstoppable object?
Unstoppable force, immovable object.
You don't really care, do you?
[laughing]
None of that.
Do you have to?
I don't have to.
[chair slides]
I'm going to bed.
Oh.
I took a pill earlier.
I think they help.
I haven't seen any proof of that.
Have you even taken one?
Would you like me to?
Maybe tomorrow,
we can get up early,
go for a walk in the woods.
Talk.
I'd like that.
Sure.

What's wrong?
What's going on?
- I saw-
- What?
- I saw something.
- What?
Someone.
In the house?
No, outside!
A man, a woman, a bear?
I don't know.
He was right there looking at me.
I don't know.
[weeping]
There's nothing outside.
No one.
Then let me go out and prove it.
No, no, no. Don't go.
I don't think I can bear it.
Look, whatever you saw
isn't there anymore, okay?
It was just a bad dream.
There's nothing outside.
How many?
Just one.
Look, I didn't dream this.
I didn't hallucinate it.
I saw something.
Then I should go out
there and check myself.
Do you wanna sleep in my room?
To sleep?
Look, you know you're not
going to go back to sleep
if you stay in this room.
[light switch clicks]
[light switch clicks]
[intense ominous music]
Rock a by, baby
Rock a by, baby
Down comes baby
Down comes baby
Down, down
[Child] Daddy?
[music cuts]
There's coffee.
Good.
[coffee mug clinks]
Did you manage to get some sleep?
Yeah.
So we're going to go for a walk then.
It's a beautiful day.
Beautiful.
Then we should go.
Great. I'll get dressed.
[crickets chirping]
[leaves gently rustle]
This is nice.
Therapy must pay well.
It's all about the bottom
line with you, isn't it?
I didn't mean anything about-
- Fuck you didn't mean.
[birds chirping]
What do you and that therapist do
at your private sessions?
What's that supposed to mean?
I'm just asking.
We talk.
You talk,
about what?
Shadows,
screaming out your grief,
vomiting out your trauma,
shitting out your fears?
You left out bleeding out my hate.
Look, I want us to-
We came here for a reason.
I want us to talk, to make
some, some sort of progress.
What sort of progress
were you expecting?
I don't know.
But after a year, something.
Christ, anything.
I'm getting cold.
I wanna, I wanna go back.
I'm going to stay a bit.
[birds chirping]
Fine.

[pleasurable gasping resumes]

[clock ticking]
[music cuts]
Please, you should sit.
We came here to talk. We should talk.
Hi.
I'm not hungry.
I made you some of your favorite treats.
Please.
What?
I'm just glad to be
in this beautiful house
with my beautiful wife.
[glass clinks, bottle pops]
I already said I'm not drinking.
Don't you think you've had enough?
I've had enough.
Ah! [laughing]
[glass clinks]
Does it make you happy?
What?
Making me miserable.
You don't need me to do that.
You haven't smiled in
months, maybe longer.
Why would I smile?
What exactly should I be smiling about?
If you don't like any of this,
maybe I should make you something to eat.
I already said, I'm not hungry.
You're not hungry.
You're not thirsty.
You're not happy.
What even are you?
Are you even here?
Are you?
Maybe you're a ghost.
Some memory of someone I once knew,
someone I once cared about.
[slams glass on table]
Well, now it's a party.
Look.
We've spent so much time
apart these past few, since-
I forgot how good it could be to,
to share a drink with you,
to share a meal, a space,
a conversation, a bed.
I just wanted to thank you
for coming here and for trying.
For really trying.
For making the effort
required to save our marriage,
to save our lives together.
Is this how drunk you are?
Do you think this is what I'm doing here?
You made me hollow.
Was there ever anything inside of you?
Yes.
There was.
There was.
[bottle pours, thuds]
You never missed one opportunity
to point your finger at me,
and to remind me that it was
all my fault, that I did this to us.
I never blamed you.
Maybe not with words,
but with your silence.
Your cold, dead silence.
I gave up everything for you.
You carved a hole inside of me.
And then you let it rot!
[bottle pours, thuds]
You made me hate myself.
I gave it all up for you.
- You gave everything-
- I had a child who loved me!
I had a wife who loved me.
You had nothing!
- I had two-
- You had nothing!
I gave it all up for you.
Oh, yeah.
I guess you fucked up, didn't you?
- Fucking cunt.
- I'm leaving you.
Don't you fucking touch me!
You hated yourself
long before you met me.
You know what?
Maybe you're right.
Maybe I did hate myself.
And then I made you my punishment.
Please.
When you were pregnant, I loved you.
I loved your great swollen belly
and your great swollen tits.
- Fuck!
- It wasn't your fault!
You sat down to rest your eyes.
You were tired.
I was out of town.
Everything was on you.
You sat down and you fell asleep.
That's not what happened.
What do you mean?
I wasn't tired.
I didn't close my eyes.
I didn't fall asleep.
Well, you, you said that-
- You remember that kid
that used to live next door?
You called him a kid, but
he was like 19 or something.
So yeah, sure.
To you, a kid, nothing, a nobody.
But you'd always come back home
and wonder, remember, you'd say,
"Why is that little fucker
always looking weird at me?"
That little fucker.
You got that one right, didn't you?
He was a fucker for sure.
How's it go?
Young, dumb and full of cum?
You fucking cunt.
Yeah.
[laughing]
My cunt.
He would hit that like a fucking rabbit.
That day, I was in bed,
and he was right there
next to me, in our bed,
with his tongue buried
deep inside my cunt.
You bitch.
He fucked me like a rabbit,
and I sucked him in,
and I screamed and I moaned and I came.
Those fucking sheets were
soaked wet with my cum.
How many times?
What does it matter how many times?
How many times he fucked me?
How many times I came?
How many times I sucked his
dick and then kissed you?
- How many times?
- All the time!
Whenever you were gone.
And let's face it, husband,
you were away a lot.
You are a fucking whore!
You don't know the half of it.
Whenever he was away or when I was tired
of his inexperienced dick, I went out.
So there were others.
How many others?
Like you never did exactly-
- How many?
- All of them!
Where was our child?
Where was our child, when you-
- I don't know where our child was,
and I didn't fucking care.
[gentle weeping]
You whimpering little faggot.
[intense uneasy music]
[banging, screaming]
I hate you!
[screaming]
[intense music]
[music cuts]
[laughing]
You can't even do it, can you?
You can't even fucking rape me.
You sorry excuse of a man.
You limp dick.
[laughing]
But hey, no surprise there, right?
You never could.
Not even when I wanted you to fuck me.
Jesus. What a joke.
What a sad, un-funny joke.
[laughing]
Oh, oh, what's happening?
Are you gonna cry?
Baby gonna cry?
Cry for his mommy.
Oh, go on baby.
Let it out.
Let it all out.
Cry for me.
I wanna see those crocodile tears.
[laughing]
[uneasy music]
[choking]
[music intensifies]
What?
You couldn't even fuck me.
Now you're gonna kill me?
[intense music]
[coughing, choking]
[grunting, screaming]
[intense music resumes]
[music cuts]
[heavy breathing]
[bag rips, thuds]
[tape rips]
[grunting, panting]
[bag sliding]
[lighter clicks]
[flame sizzles]
Can you hear me, dear?
Can you?
I forgot to tell you before I killed you.
I knew you were cheating on me.
That's why I came home early that day.
To catch you,
to kill you and your fuck boy.
But I didn't.
That would've been too quick, too easy,
too painless.
I came home and I found
our child sitting there,
reading a book.
Goodnight Moon.
[thunder rumbles]
I put on their raincoat and their boots.
All the while, listening to you moan.
We walked to the woods.
We walked to the stream.
It started raining.
The stream started running faster.
Look closer, I said.
Look, look, closer.
What, what?
And our child leaned closer to the water.
I grabbed the back of
our child's raincoat,
pushed their head under the water.
Didn't take long.
They struggled,
[thunder rumbling]
Fiercely at first.
Amazing how the desire
to live [indistinct]
Something that takes so much strength.
[thunder rumbles]
[indistinct chatter]
[thunder cuts]
[crickets, birds chirping]

[shovel digs]

[ominous tones intensify]
[phone ringing repeatedly]
[phone ringing cuts]
Good morning.
I heard a phone ringing.
Are you alright?
Coffee?
How did you come back?
I've always been here.
[cup clinks]
Maybe you should lie down.
You're so pale.
Do you have a fever?
[chair thuds]
[birds chirping]

[insects chirping]
Rock a by, baby, on the treetop
[melodious humming]
Rock a by, baby, on the treetop
[melodious humming]
On the tree top

Please, you should sit.
We came here to talk. We should talk.
Hi.
I'm not hungry.
I made you some of your favorite treats.
Please.
What?
I'm just glad to be
in this beautiful house
with my beautiful wife.
[glass clinks, bottle pops]
I already said I'm not drinking.
Don't you think you've had enough?
I've had enough.
Ah! [laughing]
[glass clinks]
Does it make you happy?
What?
Making me miserable.
You don't need me to do that.
You haven't smiled in
months, maybe longer.
Why would I smile?
What exactly should I be smiling about?
If you don't like any of this,
maybe I should make you something to eat.
I already said, I'm not hungry.
You're not hungry.
You're not thirsty.
You're not happy.
What even are you?
Are you even here?
Are you?
Maybe you're a ghost.
Some memory of someone I once knew,
someone I once cared about.
[slams glass on table]
Well, now it's a party.
Look.
We've spent so much time
apart these past few, since-
I forgot how good it could be to,
to share a drink with you,
to share a meal, a space,
a conversation, a bed.
I just wanted to thank you
for coming here and for trying.
For really trying.
For making the effort
required to save our marriage,
to save our lives together.
Is this how drunk you are?
Do you think this is what I'm doing here?
You made me hollow.
Was there ever anything inside of you?
Yes.
There was.
There was.
[bottle pours, thuds]
You never missed one opportunity
to point your finger at me,
and to remind me that it was
all my fault, that I did this to us.
I never blamed you.
Maybe not with words,
but with your silence.
Your cold, dead silence.
I gave up everything for you.
You carved a hole inside of me.
And then you let it rot!
[bottle pours, thuds]
You made me hate myself.
I gave it all up for you.
- You gave everything-
- I had a child who loved me!
I had a wife who loved me.
You had nothing!
- I had two-
- You had nothing!
I gave it all up for you.
Oh, yeah.
I guess you fucked up, didn't you?
- Fucking cunt.
- I'm leaving you.
Don't you fucking touch me!
You hated yourself
long before you met me.
You know what?
Maybe you're right.
Maybe I did hate myself.
And then I made you my punishment.
Please.
When you were pregnant, I loved you.
I loved your great swollen belly
and your great swollen tits.
- Fuck!
- It wasn't your fault!
You sat down to rest your eyes.
You were tired.
I was out of town.
Everything was on you.
You sat down and you fell asleep.
That's not what happened.
What do you mean?
I wasn't tired.
I didn't close my eyes.
I didn't fall asleep.
Well, you, you said that-
- You remember that kid
that used to live next door?
You called him a kid, but
he was like 19 or something.
So yeah, sure.
To you, a kid, nothing, a nobody.
But you'd always come back home
and wonder, remember, you'd say,
"Why is that little fucker
always looking weird at me?"
That little fucker.
You got that one right, didn't you?
He was a fucker for sure.
How's it go?
Young, dumb and full of cum?
You fucking cunt.
Yeah.
[laughing]
My cunt.
He would hit that like a fucking rabbit.
That day, I was in bed,
and he was right there
next to me, in our bed,
with his tongue buried
deep inside my cunt.
You bitch.
He fucked me like a rabbit,
and I sucked him in,
and I screamed and I moaned and I came.
Those fucking sheets were
soaked wet with my cum.
How many times?
What does it matter how many times?
How many times he fucked me?
How many times I came?
How many times I sucked his
dick and then kissed you?
- How many times?
- All the time!
Whenever you were gone.
And let's face it, husband,
you were away a lot.
You are a fucking whore!
You don't know the half of it.
Whenever he was away or when I was tired
of his inexperienced dick, I went out.
So there were others.
How many others?
Like you never did exactly-
- How many?
- All of them!
Where was our child?
Where was our child, when you-
- I don't know where our child was,
and I didn't fucking care.
[gentle weeping]
You whimpering little faggot.
[intense uneasy music]
[banging, screaming]
I hate you!
[screaming]
[intense music]
[music cuts]
[laughing]
You can't even do it, can you?
You can't even fucking rape me.
You sorry excuse of a man.
You limp dick.
[laughing]
But hey, no surprise there, right?
You never could.
Not even when I wanted you to fuck me.
Jesus. What a joke.
What a sad, un-funny joke.
[laughing]
Oh, oh, what's happening?
Are you gonna cry?
Baby gonna cry?
Cry for his mommy.
Oh, go on baby.
Let it out.
Let it all out.
Cry for me.
I wanna see those crocodile tears.
[laughing]
[uneasy music]
[choking]
[music intensifies]
What?
You couldn't even fuck me.
Now you're gonna kill me?
[intense music]
[coughing, choking]
[grunting, screaming]
[intense music resumes]
[music cuts]
[heavy breathing]
[bag rips, thuds]
[tape rips]
[grunting, panting]
[bag sliding]
[lighter clicks]
[flame sizzles]
Can you hear me, dear?
Can you?
I forgot to tell you before I killed you.
I knew you were cheating on me.
That's why I came home early that day.
To catch you,
to kill you and your fuck boy.
But I didn't.
That would've been too quick, too easy,
too painless.
I came home and I found
our child sitting there,
reading a book.
Goodnight Moon.
[thunder rumbles]
I put on their raincoat and their boots.
All the while, listening to you moan.
We walked to the woods.
We walked to the stream.
It started raining.
The stream started running faster.
Look closer, I said.
Look, look, closer.
What, what?
And our child leaned closer to the water.
I grabbed the back of
our child's raincoat,
pushed their head under the water.
Didn't take long.
They struggled,
[thunder rumbling]
Fiercely at first.
Amazing how the desire
to live [indistinct]
Something that takes so much strength.
[thunder rumbles]
[indistinct chatter]
[thunder cuts]
[crickets, birds chirping]
[leaves rustling]
[shovel digs]
[gentle melodic humming]
[gentle indistinct singing]
[floor creaking]
[sheets rustle]
[sniffing]
[steady ominous tones]
[muffled screaming]
[ominous tones intensify]
[phone ringing repeatedly]
[phone ringing cuts]
Good morning.
I heard a phone ringing.
Are you alright?
Coffee?
How did you come back?
I've always been here.
[cup clinks]
Maybe you should lie down.
You're so pale.
Do you have a fever?
[chair thuds]
[birds chirping]
[creek running]
[light ominous droning]
[gasping, grunting]
[coughing, gagging]
[vomiting]
[ominous droning resumes]
[intense eerie music]
[music fades]
[insects chirping]
[ominous rumbling]
[indistinct whispering]
[rumbling resumes]
[baby crying]
[whispering, rumbling resume]
[whispering intensifies]
[baby crying]
[baby crying]
Daddy, daddy.
[baby crying]
[ominous rumbling]
Daddy's home.
[insects chirping]
Rock a by, baby, on the treetop
[melodious humming]
Rock a by, baby, on the treetop
[melodious humming]
On the tree top
[chirping cuts]
[gear shift clicks]
[door opens]
[phone ringing repeatedly]
[Child] Hello?
[gentle ominous music]
