Private Property (2022) - full transcript

Kathryn, a struggling actress and unfulfilled housewife, becomes involved with her new gardener, Ben. As he gives her the attention and sensitivity she craves, they start to fall for each other. But Ben is not what he seems.

I always just did

whatever I wanted.

I always used to cheat.

Morning, Jorge.

Good morning, Kathryn.

Because I was young

and I didn't care.

I remember once I went to a bar

with one of my boyfriends.

And I saw this man

across the room.

The handsomest man

I've ever seen.

He was so alive.

And I was staring...

I couldn't help it.

And then he looked at me...

with just one look.

And I followed,

like I was tethered to him.

Like he had hypnotized me.

It was a single bathroom,

but he didn't lock the door.

Once I walked in,

we grabbed each other,

he threw me on top on the sink,

ripped my underwear off,

and fucked me.

It probably only

lasted a minute, but I came.

When he was done, he kissed me.

I was still shivering

and then he left the bathroom.

So, I got myself together

and I went back to the bar.

And he was still there

with his friends.

And he smiled at me

one more time.

And that's the last time

we looked

or talked to each other.

Some people would call me

a slut for that,

but I honestly think

it was one of the most

romantic moments of my life...

in a very... slutty sort of way.

Jorge?

Jorge?

- Hello.

- Hello.

- This is Mrs. Carlyle?

- Yeah, this is she.

Hello, Mrs. Carlyle,

I'm Javier Del Toro

from LA Bloom Gardening.

Yeah, funny you called actually.

Um, my gardener, Jorge Torres,

he was supposed to come...

Miss, I would like to inform you

that your gardener,

Jorge Torres,

no longer works for the company.

Did he

switch companies by chance,

- because I might just...

- Uh, ma'am, he was detained.

Oh.

But I-I will have a new gardener

for you this afternoon.

Hello, um, Miss, uh...

Miss Carlyle?

Mrs. Yeah.

So, this tree here

needs to be...

I think that's pretty much it.

I would say

that you can start now,

- but you don't have any tools.

- Oh, no.

I'm not supposed to start

until tomorrow.

- Oh.

- Thank you, Mrs. Carlyle.

Shit.

Is something wrong?

The door's locked.

Crap.

This is so not okay.

I was sending an email

and it was uploading.

I can get you in, but you're gonna

have to promise me something.

What?

That you won't call the cops.

- Thank you, so much.

- No problem.

Hey, uh, one more thing.

Did you know Jorge?

The gardener

who used to work here?

- No, ma'am.

- Right, of course,

I figured you wouldn't, um...

I knew of him, though.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Seemed like a decent guy.

It was too bad.

- Too bad about what?

- You didn't hear?

They rounding him up.

[upbeat music playing

I missed you today.

I missed you.

I wish the Anderson's

would sell their place.

They're asking too much.

It's just been empty forever.

It'd be nice

to have some neighbors.

Okay, no more skinny dipping

with new neighbors.

You know, I actually, um,

swam laps for an hour today.

- Yeah?

- Mm-hm.

I'm just trying to

stay in shape.

Oh. I can see that.

Come on.

Oh, this table still wobbles,

I hate that.

Baby, you wanna catch a movie?

Don't you have to

read that script?

You know there's, um,

there's a-a part.

There's like a supporting part

for a woman my age

and I don't know if you do it,

maybe you can get me

a connection maybe,

um, audition for the director?

If I do it, and that's a big if,

I'll put your name

on the list to audition,

but that's as far as I can go.

You want to get it

on your own terms, don't you?

Can we light a fire?

Sure, go for it.

Won't we have to

turn the gas back on?

I'll do it.

- I can do it.

- No, no, no, no.

I-I... I'm sure he's good for it.

I mean, his cash position sucks,

but his tax position

is nothing but capital gains.

He'll finance the debt.

It just floats for two years

for Christ's sake.

Yeah.

I'm going to bed.

Yeah, it's all figured out.

Okay, well, um,

what about a smaller part?

The ex-girlfriend?

Yeah, just a minute.

Oh, hi, Mrs. Carlyle.

I just wanted to let you know

that I was here

and ready to get started.

Okay, great.

Thank you.

- Oh, uh, uh, ma'am?

- Yes?

Well, you see the ivy

on that tree there?

It's falling apart.

If you don't mind,

I'd like to start there.

- Sure, whatever you want.

- Okay.

I only ask, 'cause I want

my clientele to trust me

as a valued collaborator

on their home.

You know, more than just a,

uh, a gardener.

A, uh, you know,

a landscape architect.

Well, that's very sweet,

but why don't you start by doing

a good job on your first day?

Hmm?

Yes, ma'am.

It's all improv.

He lets you say

whatever you want.

Wait, there's no script.

No, well, there's a structure

but the character is mine.

That's what he said,

"She is yours".

- Sounds awesome.

- What are you doing?

Uh, you know, just auditioning

and cleaning the house.

Meaning your luxurious mansion

in Laurel Canyon

while I share a three-bedroom

with five people.

Don't pout.

It's unbecoming.

I miss the hustle.

Hustle sucks.

Enjoy your freedom.

Oh, I gotta go.

I love you.

Do you want some lemonade?

Ben?

Do you want some lemonade?

Yeah, I'd love some.

You know I never got to, um,

thank you

for letting me in the house.

Yeah, what'd you

have to send so bad?

Uh, an audition.

I didn't get it, so...

- Wait, you're an actress?

- Sort of.

Trying to be. Aspiring.

- Anything I would have seen?

- No, probably not.

I've just done, you know,

a couple of short films.

Um, I actually have one

premiering tonight.

Wow, cool. Where do you

get to go to the premiere?

Oh, uh, it's online.

I mean, it's kind of how people

are seeing things, anyways.

That's so true.

And I get it, because I'm a...

Well, I'm a rapper, you know.

Really?

Yeah.

I'm a landscape architect, too,

but, I mean,

my real passion is music.

Wow.

Quite the Renaissance man.

Hey, don't make fun of me.

Oh, I-I wasn't.

I swear, I wasn't.

Okay.

- So, can I hear some of it?

- Some what?

- Your music.

- Oh.

Uh...

Oh, come on,

you know you want to.

Oh, man.

Yeah, okay, okay.

Hmm.

Yeah, uh, okay, hey.

♪ Hey, Ms. Carlyle

look at that smile ♪

♪ Light up the world

like a sun dial ♪

♪ Yeah, many men

would go on trial ♪

Just to get a look

at that pretty smile ♪

Smile.

Thank you.

Hey, you know,

how you could really thank me?

I mean, like a...

Like really, really thank me?

You mind if I jump in the pool?

- Oh, um...

- But just for a second, okay.

It's so hot

and I'm sweaty and sticky.

I've been staring

at that water all day.

Well, you don't have a suit.

Don't need one.

Alright, well, I guess.

Are you a swimmer?

Never really get the chance,

but I'm pretty good

at most physical stuff.

Just, uh, not much up here.

What's the hurry?

Uh, I have to clean the house.

You clean your own house?

Gives me something to do

in between auditions.

What's your husband think?

- Of what?

- About the acting?

He's a producer,

so he's super supportive.

He gets it.

Does that mean

he could get you a job?

I want to get it on my own.

You know, on my own terms.

It's better that way.

"You want..."

Why don't you want me?

Why don't you want me?

"Why don't you want me?"

Hey, Ben.

Something I can do

for you, Mrs. Carlyle?

Are you a good handy-man, too?

Give it a try.

Anything else I can do for you?

Actually, yeah.

"Why don't you want me?"

"Look, I just... "

"I wanna know why."

"I just...

Well, I'm in love with her.

I'm sorry."

"Why aren't you

in love with me?"

"That's never

what this was about.

We were just..."

"Just what?"

- "Just..."

- "Just sex?

Is that all

this ever was to you?"

"I'm sorry.

It just wasn't meant to be."

"If you walk out that door,

you are never coming back."

You can press stop.

So, what'd you think?

Well, I don't know.

It's pretty corny if you ask me.

Hey, no, I-I mean the script.

You were...

Yeah, um,

I'm gonna get back to...

Good work today.

Thank you.

Keep your damn money, lady.

Look, please forgive an actress

for being sensitive.

It's my job, you know?

I'm sorry.

You know, I meant that

the scene was corny, the words.

But not you.

You were good.

I shouldn't have said that.

It doesn't matter.

You know, I don't get you.

What do you mean?

Look, I don't have anything.

I mean, I'm a broke, poor loser.

You know that, right?

And I see your house

and your car,

and you have everything.

But you don't appreciate it.

I mean, nothing works.

You have all these

beautiful things

and they aren't being

taken care of.

You have to take care

of beautiful things.

Look, I'm a plain

working-class guy.

And, yeah, I've been to jail.

My boss doesn't know that,

but there it is.

You could get me fired

if you wanted to.

And you could judge me

like everybody else does.

But people don't see me.

They don't see that I'm a...

I'm a stand-up guy.

That I'm the type of guy that you

should call when you're in a jam.

I'm good with my hands.

I can make up rhymes

that make people happy.

You know, I'm worth something.

You know, people don't see that.

You ever feel that way?

You have no idea

what it means to a guy like me

to take a dip in a private pool.

Hey, were you sleeping?

No, just napping.

Oh, is everything alright?

- Yeah, I just had a dream.

- Oh, bad?

I dreamed the pool got so hot,

all the water boiled away.

You want me to... you want me

to turn off the heater?

No.

- Ohh, what are you doing?

- Take off your clothes.

Babe, no, no, no,

I got reservations.

- How come?

- We're cheersing.

Babe, you didn't

have to do that,

I mean, it's just an online...

I booked the actor.

Yeah, it was just a meeting.

Anyway, I... he wants me

to fly out to San Francisco.

- When?

- Tomorrow.

- For how long?

- Just for the day.

Did I ever tell you

what happened to Jorge?

Who?

The gardener.

No.

They said that he was detained.

- Like he was late?

- No, like he's in custody.

Oh. ICE?

God, wait, do you think?

No, do we have any extra ice?

Oh, yeah, um,

there's some in the ice bucket.

You know, I think that you

should do something, because...

I don't think it's a good idea

to get involved, babe.

I mean, you don't know this guy.

Yes, I do.

I'm here with him all day.

He's a very sweet man.

But you don't really.

You could be vouching for

a criminal, you know?

I think it's best

if you just drop it, babe.

So, what are you gonna do?

- Drop it, I guess.

- No, about the lawn.

Oh, they hired

a new guy already.

Huh? How is he?

Where are you going?

I left the pool light on.

I can turn in off.

No, I'm already up.

Hey!

Excuse me?

Hey!

Hey, you left

your side door open.

Who's up there?

No one should be up there.

Hey, Ed!

Turn that down, man!

That's, uh, that's Ed Hogate.

I met him yesterday. He just

bought the Anderson's place.

Oh, really?

Yeah, he saw me working

and asked me to do

some handy work for him.

I think he said

maybe he met your husband.

Oh, Richard

left for San Francisco.

Oh, well, business?

You know, I didn't think that

you were scheduled for today.

Yeah, I'm not,

but I thought maybe you'd, uh...

maybe you'd let me

take you out to get some brunch

or something like that.

To thank you for the job

and just for being

so nice to me.

Ben...

I don't even know

what brunch means.

Why don't I just cook us up

a couple of burgers instead?

Oh, don't go through

any trouble for me.

Oh, no, please

don't worry about it.

Okay.

Go invite Ed.

I want to meet my new neighbor.

Okay.

Mrs. Carlyle,

let me introduce you to Ed.

Oh, please,

you can call me Kathryn.

- How are you, Ed?

- Hi.

Uh, have a seat.

Oh, and um, how do you

want your burger cooked?

On the grill is fine.

Well, uh, eat please.

Oh, I used lemon dressing.

You know, I'm trying

to lose weight,

so everyone has to suffer.

Come on, you're in great shape.

Mmm, yeah, where could you

lose it from?

Oh, you both

are being very nice.

So, how'd you end up, uh,

buying the Anderson's place?

I work at Silicon Valley.

That's where

I made all my money,

so I thought I'd come down here

and give old Hollyweird a try.

Look, here's my card.

"Zzzombi. Product manager".

Yes, you see, I'm in charge of

the product team.

They're the ones

who build the applications.

A bunch of degenerates

and thieves, if you ask me,

but they're the ones

who get advertisers

to buy space on the app,

which is all about

sleep technology.

Z, Z, Z, "Zzzombi."

"Sleep like the dead." Hmm.

So, I'm the one that's pulling

all the strings from the top.

You gotta keep them separate,

the groups.

There's the snakes, and the rats

and the birds, and...

So, if you wanna

download the app,

I can give you a 15% discount.

Sure, Ed.

Thank you.

Um, are you guys ready

for your burgers?

You're the hostess.

Thought maybe you

could use some help.

Oh, yeah, um,

can you get the butter?

- In here? Yeah.

- Yeah.

Hey, why don't you

let me do that?

I was a diner cook up in Fresno.

What haven't you done?

Where did you

first meet your husband?

Um, on a movie.

Yeah, I-I had one line

in a movie he produced.

And he asked me out,

and I said no,

because I didn't want everyone

to think...

I mean, well,

you know what I mean.

But he kept asking and then he

kept asking after we wrapped,

and then that's when I knew

that it wasn't just like

a silly little thing.

Hmm.

How long you been married?

Oh, a-a long time.

You love him?

Well, I was 19 and...

I mean, yes.

Yeah, I'm in love with him.

He takes care of you?

Well, he's given me

everything I've got.

But no parts?

I don't want him

to give me a part.

Hm, I'm not sure

whether I believe you or not.

Well, I said it.

And I can speak for myself.

Now, if you

believed the things I said,

we would probably

get along a lot better.

I watched your short film

last night.

You did?

Yeah, on my phone.

I really liked it.

You're a great actress.

I really thought you were

the person you were playing.

And, well, uh, you looked

really beautiful in it.

That was really sweet.

Thank you.

Yeah, no problem.

I, uh, I think you

should show it to your husband.

Maybe then he'd put you in a...

In a movie.

- I told you...

- But it's none of my business.

No, it's not.

Okay.

Those look really good.

Yeah, um, actually,

can you take care of this?

The grill's just outside.

I'm just gonna change,

I'll be a couple minutes.

I hope you don't mind

my raiding your beer

but Oates here was thirsty.

Oates?

Yeah, that's his,

uh, his nickname.

Where'd you find that?

Damn, I was afraid to bend over.

Uh, do you play, Oates?

Oh, just, uh,

"Twinkle Twinkle Little Star."

I bet you play.

I mean, when I was little,

you know,

my parents had parties.

Well, we're having a party.

You got any dance music?

Um, Alexa,

play some dance music.

Did you really like my film?

I loved it.

Is he upset?

Well, he's, uh,

he's kind of lost.

Maybe you should go after him.

Do you want me to?

I think so.

Kind of overstayed my welcome.

Yeah, it's getting late.

What time do you have to go?

Richard lands at 8:40.

Plenty of time.

I have to pick him up.

It can't be later than 6:00.

Traffic.

One for the road?

Alright.

- No.

Good morning.

Hey.

How far to the Sunset Strip?

About 40 miles.

You got any water?

In the store.

I look like

I got a dollar to spare?

If you aren't gonna

buy anything,

don't waste my time.

Would you

rather we just take it?

And trash

your shithole store instead?

Guys, I don't want any trouble.

Oates, why don't you go inside

and grab us a couple of bottles

of water, a couple beers,

and a pack

of my favorite cigarettes.

You think I care

about going to jail?

Not thirsty.

We'll be out of cash soon,

so we need to find something.

I think I got one.

Her?

You wouldn't know

what to do with her?

Sure like to try

and figure it out.

A good way to get killed.

Got a rich daddy at home

with an elephant gun.

No, she's all by her lonesome.

Daddy is out working.

Maybe you're right.

Let's find out.

Fill her up. Regular.

Right away.

Excuse me, sir.

I just gotta say she's a beaut.

What year is she?

This here

is a 1971 Buick Electra.

All of it's mine.

It's a '70.

You say so.

Well, how could you not know?

I won it in a card game.

Hey, you're not headed

to Beverly Hills, are you?

Matter of fact, I am.

I'm on my way

to Beverly Hills Hotel.

Are you kidding me?

Hey, I'm going the same way.

Only, uh, my car broke down.

I managed to make it

to the station,

but, uh, I'ma have to

leave her here overnight.

Oh, that's too bad.

What do you got going

in Beverly Hills?

I'm a musician.

See, I've got a big meeting

with some bigwigs

in them big hills.

See, I'm a star,

just, uh, nobody knows it yet.

Bet you are.

Hey, I'm sorry to be rude,

let me introduce ourselves.

My name is Arthur Morgan.

Good to meet you.

And this is my buddy,

Leon Davis.

I'm Ed Hogate.

Got a firm policy.

Never ever carry any cash on me.

It's a good policy.

Oh, um, excuse me?

Do you know where

the 14 South is?

- Am I close to the 14 South?

- You're close.

Yeah, I'm sorry um,

my-my GPS isn't working.

Alright, Oatesy boy,

you get your wish.

What do you mean?

That one.

Uh, she's a little

out of your league,

don't you think?

Here's some advice,

free of charge.

All things in this world

are divided into groups,

separated like animals,

birds, reptiles.

So, you... you wouldn't...

You wouldn't breed

a snake with a bird, would you?

Just wouldn't work.

Same exact thing

goes for people.

Trust me.

Do not mix your groups.

That's racist, Ed.

What? No, no, no, no.

I-I-I...

Hey, we need a ride, Ed.

- We're going the same way.

- What? Wait.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Hold on a second.

Wait, wait, wait,

hold on a second!

- Get out of my car!

- Better hurry up, Ed.

- We're gonna lose her.

- What?

Get the hell out of my car

before I call the police.

- What, with this?

- Hey!

Wouldn't do that if I were you,

Mr. Hogate.

Follow her.

"Zzzombi".

Why do all these tech companies

have to spell shit wrong?

I have a meeting

and I can't be late.

Come on, Ed, you can go on

a couple of more miles.

Thanks for the lift.

And, uh, can I tell you

something, Ed?

That you didn't hear anything,

you didn't see anything.

It's no skin off your nose.

You've got your big meeting

this afternoon

at the Beverly Hill Hotel,

so you won't say anything,

will you?

No.

God, I hope not, Ed.

Bye.

Think he'll keep quiet?

Oh, sure.

He's got the situation

divided into groups.

He knows which one we belong to.

So, we go in?

Can't just walk in

and take whatever we want.

Gotta be smooth.

Remember last time?

Get invited in.

Like vampires.

Then we'll get

the run of the place.

What's theirs is ours.

Whoa, hey, hey.

There's a light on.

It's broad daylight.

This place is empty.

Well, what about the light?

Oh.

That's just to scare

the criminals away.

Move over.

Think she's gonna go for a swim?

Why not?

Nobody's watching.

That window

looks right down on her.

Mm...

Let's-let's just go.

Hold on.

I got an idea.

What are you doing?

Shut up.

Hello. I'd like to report

an illegal alien

in my neighborhood.

Richard Carlyle,

2375 Nightingale Place,

Los Angeles, California 90046.

Well, that's where he was last.

Well, he was

harassing my daughter

and he flashed a gun at me.

Look, he has gang tattoos,

okay, I can tell.

I'm a lawyer.

Well-well, hurry up.

She naked?

No.

She's kicking her stupid feet.

Quit kicking your stupid feet,

you bitch idiot.

I can't believe it!

It worked, man.

It worked!

What... Duke,

what was the point of that?

Why'd you do that to him?

Because she's gonna need

a new gardener.

And you're looking at him.

LA Blooms Gardening,

this is Javier Del Toro.

Mr. Del Toro,

are you the manager

of LA Blooms Gardening?

Yes, what can I do for you?

Tell her you're Javier Del Toro.

Her gardener's gone.

Mrs. Carlyle, alright?

Use an accent.

Hello?

Hello.

Is this Mrs. Carlyle?

Yeah, this is she.

Hello, Mrs. Carlyle,

I am Javier Del Toro

from LA Bloom Gardening.

Yeah, funny you called actually.

Um, my gardener, Jorge Torres,

he was supposed to come...

Yes, I-I would

like to inform you

that your gardener,

Jorge Torres,

no longer works for the company.

You're supposed to do that

into a woman, not your hand.

What?

What does that mean?

Save some jizz for her.

Hey, don't talk to me like that.

I-I told you, I'm...

I wasn't doing anything.

Shut up.

Where are you going?

I'm going to say hi.

What do you think?

I'm Ben... Saunders.

That sound White?

White gardener extraordinaire.

It's all a game, Oates.

The whole world.

Only suckers choose not to play,

suckers who don't know

they're in one.

I would say that you can start,

but you don't really have

any of your tools?

Oh, no.

I'm not supposed to start

until tomorrow.

Oh. Yeah, they-they

didn't tell me that.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, they just wanted me

to get a feel

for the place today

and I'll be back tomorrow

with everything I need.

Alright.

What-what happened?

She told me

about the whole neighborhood.

We've moved into the Anderson's.

After they moved out.

And how'd she look?

Smooth.

Mm.

Is that her boyfriend?

Husband. Richard.

How do you know?

Because of the mail.

Because he's a big fat square

dickless faggot like you.

She's done with him, except

for the house and the car.

How can you tell that from here?

You learn to read the signs.

You see the way

she crossed her legs?

Like she never even met him.

Shit!

Where'd you learn to cook?

I was a short-order cook

in Fresno.

Did that before you

found me in that place.

I don't know

how I ended up in that bar.

I know why you were there,

but me,

I was just exploring.

I was supposed to meet

a record exec there,

but he wanted me

to suck his dick.

And I ain't into that fag shit.

Well... you saved me.

I don't know if saved

is the right word,

you seemed to be enjoying

yourself well enough.

- They make you act like that.

- Who makes you?

Eh... well,

you-you killed him.

What, that little twink?

Why he couldn't make

a songbird...

Yeah, but they made me.

- I told you that.

- Alright, Oates.

I wouldn't do anything

like that...

Alright.

Goddamn.

You know, just one time,

I'd like to have a...

A decent meal.

You know, a fancy dinner.

White table cloth.

You know, good wine, candles.

And those two over there,

they get that every night.

And they don't appreciate it.

You know what I wanna do?

What?

I want to sit

in that white convertible.

Yeah, we-we-we could

take it out for a spin.

I know this guy,

we could sell it to him.

We could get out of this place.

I mean, it gives me the creeps.

We could...

We could sell it to him.

- We could...

- No.

No, I just wanna sit in it.

See how it feels.

Not ready to take anything yet.

If they hear us, we bounce.

It wouldn't be worth it.

You wait here.

Well, I wanna go

if you're gonna sit in it.

Smell that perfume?

I can't smell it from over here.

Get in, son.

We need a truck and some tools.

Break in, get the car?

No, so I can be a real gardener.

It's the whole charade, man.

It's working.

I just need the optics.

Look.

What-what is this?

I-I-I thought it was a cash job

with a girl on the side.

And now...

you-you're a gardener.

I mean, I don't get it.

♪ Ms. Carlyle ♪

♪ Look at that smile ♪

Look,

I'm just finessing it, man.

Alright, I'm doing it smooth.

When I'm through with her,

she'll open up her home safe

for us herself,

she'll hand over her jewelry.

You'll see.

But... a-a safe?

Yeah, of course,

they got a safe.

They're rich, aren't they?

Full of cash and jewelry,

I bet, too.

Alright, you just got to be

a little patient with me.

Let me spend a little bit

more time with her.

You're lying.

You like her. You want her.

Oh, fuck her!

Man, fuck her tits

and her condescension.

Fuck her house

and her acting career!

If I wanted her, I could have

taken her in the garage.

Or on the patio, or I could have

pushed her in the fucking pool.

- I'm tired.

- Hey!

- You listen to me, alright.

- Stop.

You wanna take the place now,

all violence and chaos?

Huh, you want me

to go down there

and drag her up by the hair?

Tie her up while she

kicks and screams? Huh?

You want me to cut her, so she

bleeds all over you, Oates?

You tell me, you wanna

leave her dead or alive,

'cause it makes

no difference to me.

Uh...

Alive.

Alright.

We do it my way...

and all the time it takes.

Now, go take the truck back.

This is a waste of time.

Acting like my friend,

he's not my friend.

I'm tired.

So... I watched your film.

You were so beautiful in it,

and...

you are a great actress.

I mean, you're really

believable, it's...

Your film really moved me.

What's it like

to pretend to be somebody else?

They're leaving.

You know,

you're doing all the work

and he's taking her out.

You're nowhere, man.

She's not gonna sleep tonight.

She'll lie awake, think of me.

You watch.

She's looking up here.

Blow her a kiss.

No, man.

Let her sweat.

What are you doing?

Just play along.

Today's the day.

You're Ed.

Uh... Ed?

Who's up there?

I mean, no one

should be up there.

Hey, Ed!

Hey, turn that down, man!

You're invited to lunch.

You bought this house.

We met yesterday, and you

asked me to help to fix it up.

Alright,

you're in the tech business.

Come on, man.

This-this is...

- "Zzzombi."

- Yeah.

That's your card.

Your name is Ed Hogate.

Mrs. Carlyle,

let me introduce you to Ed.

Oh...

I knew it.

You were just

after her all along.

Then where's the safe?

Let's get this over with.

There's no safe, you idiot.

There never was a safe.

Look, we're here for her.

I'll give you first crack at her

if you stop fucking this up.

I don't wanna go in there.

It's okay.

You don't wanna be sick, right?

No, I'm... I really don't

want to go in there.

It's okay.

It's okay, I got you.

I can't.

Yeah, chill.

Here you go. Here you go.

It's okay.

This is our bed.

We can somewhere else.

- We can go next door.

- Hmm?

I, uh, I need to tell you

something first.

About Oates.

What?

He, uh, he doesn't really work

in Silicon Valley.

I know.

He didn't buy

the Anderson's place.

He's squatting.

He told me not to rat.

He asked me to help him.

He wants something

that doesn't belong to him.

What?

You.

That's why he stormed off,

you see?

I wouldn't let him do it,

Kathryn.

I wouldn't let him hurt you.

Do you know why... Kathryn?

It's because

I'm in love with you.

We're somewhere else.

We're here.

No.

Take her.

Quit moving or I'm gonna

cut your fucking head off!

I can't.

Don't tell him I couldn't do it!

How could you?

How could you?

Duke, don't!

Don't hit her.

Don't...

Duke! Duke!

Alright, Duke, I can't...

I can't... I can't move.

Help!

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry I couldn't do it.

I'm sorry!

911, what is the location...

I...

Help!

Kathryn!

Duke, she's here!

She's here, Duke!

- Please, be quiet.

- Duke, she's here!

She's here, Duke!

- Shut up!

- Duke! Duke!

Kathryn!

Richard! Please, help me.

Run.

Kat...

Kathryn?

You alright?

I wasn't... but I am now.

Let's forget what happened.

It's in the past.

Let's try to be

better together, alright?

I love you, do you know that?

Do you love me, too?

And cut!

Alright,

everybody gather around.

Everybody on set, please.

Can I have your attention?

That's a picture wrap

for Kathryn Carlyle.
