00:01Hey babe, I'm home.
00:03Hey.
00:05Jason, what are you doing home so soon?
00:07Afternoon meeting got cancelled, figured I'd surprise you.
00:10Who have you been up to today?
00:12Nothing, just catching up with some reading, texting my sister Rachel.
00:17Okay, I didn't know you were close with Rachel.
00:19I haven't heard you mention her in years.
00:21We've just reconnected. We've been talking more.
00:24That's nice. How's she doing?
00:26She's good, you know, nothing special.
00:29Okay.
00:32You need to check that, or it seems important.
00:37It's just Rachel.
00:39She's just being chatty, you know how sisters can be.
00:41Okay, well we should invite her over for dinner sometime.
00:43We'll just see her again.
00:46Yeah, I mean she lives pretty far away now.
00:48And she's really busy with work, so maybe some other time.
00:53Oh wait, I didn't know you'd be home this early.
00:55Oh yeah, meeting got cancelled.
00:57How was your day?
00:59Good, good.
01:00Been applying to jobs online, did a workout.
01:02Trying to stay productive, you know.
01:03Okay, well something will come through soon, I know it.
01:09I'll just call Rachel back later.
01:12You can take the call. We can wait.
01:13No, no, it's fine. It's not urgent.
01:16I'm gonna go for a run.
01:17Clear my head.
01:23Is everything okay?
01:26Yeah, everything's fine. I'm just, you know, tired.
01:28Okay, well how about we order some takeout tonight?
01:30You don't have to cook. Don't worry about it.
01:31Sounds great. I'm sure that'll be fine.
01:34Alright, cool.
01:38Hey Mel, I'm home.
01:41Be right there.
01:49How was your day?
01:50Oh, it was great actually. Amazing.
01:53You know, we closed the Riverside property deal, finally.
01:57That's wonderful.
01:58Yeah, I mean, this could mean partnership, Mel.
02:00Real partnership at the firm.
02:02Significant raise, better work-life balance.
02:05I could finally cut back on the, you know, travel and long hours.
02:08Mm, mm-hmm.
02:10You know, we can renovate the house.
02:12Maybe finally take that trip to Greece you've been always wanting to do.
02:15I know I've been promising that forever, but looks like it's coming.
02:20That would be nice.
02:24Hey man, how'd that interview go?
02:26Oh, what's up, bro?
02:27Man, they didn't pan out, man. They went with somebody else.
02:30Nah.
02:31I'm sorry, but hey, I can make some calls, you know.
02:34People in the industry, let me help.
02:36Uh, man, you don't have to do all that, man.
02:39I want to.
02:40Okay, we'll get you set up.
02:41Maybe I can update your resume, too.
02:43I appreciate that.
02:46You need to check that?
02:47I don't know, it's just Rachel.
02:48Having issues with mom again, nothing urgent.
02:51Okay, well, how's Rachel doing?
02:53I haven't seen her in years.
02:54Like I said before, like, invite her over.
02:57She's, you know, fine going through some stuff.
03:01You two can't seem to get away from your phones, huh?
03:03Rachel seems to really need your attention tonight.
03:06She's just going through a rough patch, just leaning on me for support.
03:10Yeah, I'm actually pretty tired. I think I'm turning early.
03:22Okay, I mean, is, uh, is everything okay between us?
03:25I mean, you seem distant lately.
03:27Everything is fine. I'm just stressed out about some freelance work I've been doing.
03:31Okay, well, maybe we should go out this weekend.
03:34Just the two of us.
03:34Like old times.
03:37Sure, that sounds nice.
03:39Alright, well, for tonight, let's just, you know, relax and watch some TV.
03:43Sure, okay, that's fine.
03:50You know, this guy is terrible at lying. You'd think he'd, uh, did you see that?
03:57Yeah, yeah.
04:01You know, you've been on your phone for an eternity. I mean, is everything okay with Rachel?
04:05What's going on?
04:06Yeah, she's just, you know, like I said, struggling right now. She needs someone to talk to.
04:11Okay, well, maybe you should call her instead of texting.
04:14Look, she prefers texting.
04:16So what's going on with her exactly?
04:18You know what? Just stuff. Relationship problems.
04:23What kind of relationship problems?
04:26Just problems with her boyfriend.
04:29I thought you said she was having work problems earlier.
04:31Okay, you know what? It's work, it's relationship stuff. She's just having a problem with both.
04:35Yeah.
04:35And family drama with your parents?
04:37Yes! She's dealing with a lot, okay?
04:42When did I last see you, Rachel?
04:44I don't know, it's been a while.
04:46Well, she wasn't at our wedding five years ago.
04:48That always struck me as odd for sisters. I mean, I know you guys have issues, but you were, uh,
04:55supposedly so close.
04:56She's going through her own issues at times. I told you that.
05:02Call her gone.
05:04It's Rachel. I'll call her back.
05:06If Rachel was in such a crisis, why don't you just answer the phone? Talk to her directly. What's going
05:09on?
05:10She's my sister. Okay, I'll handle it.
05:13Are you hiding something from me?
05:14Oh my god. No, Jason. You're being paranoid and controlling. I can't deal with this right now.
05:27I am so sorry. Jason was getting suspicious.
05:31It's just so difficult pretending everything's normal.
05:35Sitting downstairs with him while all I can do is think about you.
05:40Dude, I can't just leave him. I have nowhere to go. And no income of my own.
05:46I gave up my career, you know, when we got married because Jason wanted to take care of me.
05:51Yeah, no. I'm just completely dependent on him financially.
05:56I know it's ironic. Trapped in comfort.
06:00I just, I feel so alive when we're together.
06:05I've just, I've forgotten what it feels like to be truly wanted.
06:10Look, I'm working on an exit strategy.
06:12I'm working on an exit strategy, but it has to be careful.
06:16Calculate it. I just can't walk away from everything.
06:19Hey. Hey, I gotta go, okay?
06:23Alright, alright. I'll text you.
06:24What's going on with Rachel? Chuck's over?
06:27Yeah, you know, she's fine now. Just needed to vent.
06:32Is there something wrong in our marriage?
06:34Are you unhappy about something?
06:36Everything's fine. You're just overreacting to me having a conversation with my sister.
06:41Alright. Alright, well maybe I'm just stressed about work. Sorry.
06:58What.
07:01What?
07:02What?
07:05What's wrong with Rachel?
07:07What's wrong with Rachel's face?
07:18I can't sleep thinking about you from Rachel.
07:27Okay, password's on her birthday.
07:30Let me try her anniversary.
07:34There it is.
07:36Who is this?
07:38This isn't Rachel.
07:41Jason would give you anything.
07:42He worships you as his little brother.
07:45This is going to destroy him, but I can't stop.
07:49I've never felt this way before.
07:52What?
08:10He's passed out.
08:14Meet me in the guest room.
08:16I'll be there tonight.
08:42I can't believe this.
08:44How long has it been going on?
08:45Jason, wait.
08:46How long?
08:48Three months.
08:50Three months?
08:52Do you have any idea what you've done?
08:54Sleeping with my wife under my roof while living in my charity?
08:57You're my brother.
08:58Look, I never meant for it to happen, man.
09:00I tried to resist, but I couldn't.
09:03The poor Will.
09:04So weak and helpless.
09:06Always playing the victim.
09:07Did you even look for a job?
09:09Or were you too busy screwing my wife?
09:11How long?
09:13You know I read months of messages, saw photos.
09:16I know every detail of your affair.
09:18Jason, I am so-
09:19Save it.
09:20Alright?
09:22I'm only staying with Jason for financial security while I figure out my exit strategy.
09:26That's you, Mel.
09:27Your words.
09:29Jason is so boring.
09:31All he does is work.
09:33He's never actually here.
09:35Also you.
09:35I didn't mean-
09:36I gave up my career and now I'm trapped.
09:39You complained about that quite a bit, didn't you?
09:41Jason, listen.
09:42You're never home, right?
09:43You don't appreciate what you have.
09:45Do you think I've been working myself to death for fun?
09:47Huh?
09:47Nah, I just meant this.
09:49Everything I've been doing, the long hours, the travel, the stress, was to build a life
09:55that could support not just Mel but also you when you showed up homeless and jobless
09:59six months ago.
10:00Alright?
10:01That partnership I was so excited about was to go to use it to help you start your own
10:06business, you dummy.
10:07I already had plans down.
10:09Alright?
10:09Seed money set aside.
10:10I was gonna- I was gonna surprise you next month.
10:14I mean, I didn't know.
10:16You never said anything.
10:17Why should I have to say anything?
10:18Why should I have to announce the love I have for my wife and my family?
10:21Alright?
10:22And the fact that I wanted to take care of them.
10:24It should be obvious from my actions.
10:27Apparently it wasn't obvious enough.
10:30You're right to be worried about your financial situation because you're about to find out
10:33exactly what it feels like to have nothing.
10:35Jason-
10:36I've consulted with lawyers.
10:37Given that you committed adultery with my brother, which judges find particularly egregious,
10:43you'll get nothing in the divorce.
10:45Not the house.
10:46That alimony.
10:47Nothing.
10:48Where am I supposed to go?
10:52You can stay with your sister.
10:54Yeah, Rachel.
10:55Oh wait!
10:56Rachel doesn't exist, does she?
10:58She still hates you and I can see why.
11:01Alright?
11:01And that's just a name that you saved in your phone under Will's contact.
11:08How long have you known?
11:10Since tonight.
11:12I only read the messages an hour ago.
11:15But that was enough to understand everything.
11:17What you want us to do?
11:19What do I want you to do?
11:21I want you to pack your things.
11:23And I want you gone tomorrow.
11:26You'll be lucky I'm letting you stay here tonight.
11:29After that, you'll never contact me again.
11:32Either of you.
11:33Is there any way we can fix this?
11:34Can you please just forgive us?
11:36Fix this?
11:36Forgive you?
11:39Nah, forgiveness would require me to care.
11:42Right now, all I feel is nothing but disgust.
11:45You both made your choices.
11:46Now you gotta live with the consequences.
11:48Jason.
11:50I'm my brother, man.
11:51I never wanted to hurt you.
11:52You stopped being my brother the first time you touched my wife.
11:56Brothers protect each other.
11:57They don't betray each other for the worst possible reason.
12:00Will, you were right earlier.
12:02I'm never home.
12:03I'm always working.
12:05But you know what?
12:05That ends now.
12:06I'm withdrawing from the partnership opportunity.
12:09Because I've realized I've been investing in the wrong things.
12:11I built this life for people who don't care.
12:14People who don't deserve it.
12:17Get out of my sight.
12:21You know what?
12:22One more thing.
12:24I hope you're happy together.
12:25Because you both just traded everything for each other.
12:29Will has no job, no home, and no brother.
12:33Mel has no income and no husband.
12:38Who can support her anymore?
12:41You know, you two deserve each other.
12:45You're an innocent man.
12:45Who have to be and swing?
12:55I do the right thing.
12:55All right.
12:56I'm within the door.
12:56I'm outta here.
12:56You're in the door.
12:58You're right.
13:00I'm within the door.
13:00You
