The Affair (2014–…): Season 3, Episode 3 - 303 - full transcript
Juliette finds Noah an alluring prospect, but a terrifying event shatters all hope of an easy affair.
NOAH: Previously on The Affair...
Those of you who knew
my dad will-will know
that we didn't always get along so well,
but I-I loved him.
- That was a lovely service.
- You're coming back
to the house though, aren't you?
Oh, uh, I don't know.
Do you think we should
come back to the house?
Only if you want to.
How was teaching this week?
You have any fun?
Not really.
I thought it was really elegant, Audrey.
(SCOFFS)
I thought it was very dull,
unless it was supposed to be a satire.
Was it?
JULIETTE: Hello. You just
popped up out of nowhere.
Ah, bienvenue, Monsieur Solloway.
Je suis Professeur Le Gall.
I'm just so pleased to finally meet you.
I feel that you and I
are kindred spirits.
- WOMAN: Silence is violence!
- ALL: Silence is violence!
- Was there a rape?
- I'm not sure.
I thought I'd come to America
and have a grand adventure,
and instead it's, uh...
Instead, it's New Jersey.
Noah, are you all right?
Yeah. I'm okay.
Officer Santos, who knows I'm here?
What do you mean?
NOAH: I'm just wondering
if it's possible
for anybody still inside Fishkill
to find out my current address.
SANTOS: Why are you asking, Solloway?
NOAH: Never mind.
It's... it's not important.
Aah!

It's a lovely day, Professor.
Do you have anything planned?
Just preparing dinner for
a few people tonight.
Oh. Coq au vin?
We shall see.
(CHUCKLES)
Professor Le Gall? We
don't want to bother you.
We just wanted to say that
we're loving your class.
Yeah. I thought medieval French
literature was gonna be boring,
but you're not boring at all.
Well, thank you.
I believe love is never
boring, even 900 years ago.
What are you reading, Professor?
Oh, this I'm afraid is very boring.
Andreas Capellanus.
It's part of my research.
GIRL: Are you enjoying your time here?
BOY: Are you glad you came?
It's very exciting to be in America.
Tomorrow:
"Lancelot, ou le Chevalier
de la Charrette."
Come prepared with questions.
- Okay.
- Of course. Bye.

AUDREY: How can you possibly
call this an ambiguous case?
MIKE: She got into bed
with him of her own accord.
AUDREY: It doesn't matter.
She did not want to give
Nicholas Perry a blowjob.
Are you saying that you're
okay with forcing a woman
against her will to give you a blowjob?
For fuck's sake, Audrey. Of
course I'm not saying that,
but this specific lady
gave no indication
that she didn't want
what he was giving her.
Oh, I'm sorry, Mike. Were you there?
She admits it herself. She does.
She admits she swallowed.
- (GIRLS GROAN)
- MIKE: What? Oh, come on.
Grow up. Could we not just at least
maybe... maybe consider the idea
that she was on board here?
AUDREY: Mike, every two minutes
someone is sexually
assaulted in our country.
Do you know how often the
perpetrator is punished?
- Less than one percent.
- Thanks.
AUDREY: Thank you. Yes.
And do you know why?
Because it's because of
this exact conversation,
because we don't believe our victims.
We make them feel like
they asked for it.
MIKE: Okay. I'm just
trying to have a dialogue,
but if you're just gonna recite
a Planned Parenthood pamphlet at me...
- AUDREY: Oh, my God.
- what's the point to it?
I can't believe I ever slept with you.
(CHUCKLES) Okay, all right.
So that's what this little
tirade is really about, right?
Right, Audrey? Admit it.
What I will admit, Cornwall,
is that I wanted to fuck you
at the time, and I regretted it after,
but because I'm a cognizant human being
who is able to determine and
articulate my own desire,
I did not bring rape
charges against you,
even after I found out
what a giant turd you are.
But if we had had sex against my will,
that would have been different.
Do you understand that distinction?
Yes. I understand the distinction.
Do you think I'm capable of
understanding that distinction?
Frankly, right now I'm just
terrified of you, Audrey.
Oh, my God. You're a fucking dick.
Whoa! Come on. It's the coq au vin.
AUDREY: I'm sorry, Professor.
I'm sorry.
I just... he's... I-I can't. I can't...
please tell me it's not
like this in France.
It's not at all like this in France.
It's much worse.
- AUDREY: What?
- JULIETTE: Yes.
I'm afraid the whole topic is
still not taken seriously.
MIKE: Oui? C'est bon.
You're very lucky to be surrounded
by such enlightened chaps
such as myself and Blake.
Professor.
JULIETTE: It's curious, though.
In this case, the two parties
agree on what happened.
She gave him a blowjob.
He didn't force her to.
- No, he didn't.
- But they don't agree
on the meaning of the act.
He said she wanted to.
She said she didn't.
Is that right?
- She didn't consent.
- But he didn't force her.
- MIKE: No.
- But she didn't consent.
That's very confusing, isn't it?
- No. Not to me.
- JULIETTE: Yes.
I see that it's quite clear to you.
But I live some decades now,
and there's a lot
about what I want that
I don't understand
and that I don't expect
a lover to understand.
Professor Le Gall, please tell me
that you see the problem here.
JULIETTE: I see problems, I do.
But I think we all live in our
own version of the truth,
and thus we are prone to
terrible miscommunications.
Perhaps she was trying to
communicate one thing,
and he read something else.
That's possible, isn't it?
Yes. Of course it's possible.
That's why the university
needs to establish
and enforce a mandate of verbal consent.
I understand how such a thing
would protect the university,
but I don't see how sex
itself would survive.
Why not?
Because I am afraid the articulate
is the enemy of the erotic.
Isn't the whole point
that you don't know
what your lover will do next?
That you give yourself over
to a sensory experience
that you haven't planned
and can't control?
The reason I like sex
is that I can finally,
for a moment,
turn off my neurotic mind
and just be consumed.
If I give my lover permission... yes,
no, uh, touch me,
not there... don't I undermine
the potency of his desire?
♪♪♪
I'm sorry. You're all looking
at me like I'm crazy.
Do I sound crazy?
No.
Well, Professor Le
Gall is a love expert.
Professor Le Gall is a
courtly love expert.
MIKE: What's your point?
AUDREY: Besides the
fact that this manner
of thinking has been out
of date for 600 years,
was written entirely by men
wherein the women served as
the object of male desire,
but had no voice of her own.
So perhaps we can forgive
Professor Le Gall for assuming
that the articulation of female desire
is somehow anathema to
sexual satisfaction.
But with all due respect,
Professor, I would argue
that she simply never learned
the appropriate language,
because I can tell you exactly
how I want you to fuck me.
- Believe me, I remember.
- AUDREY: And Lila can tell you
exactly how she wants you to fuck her.
Hard.
AUDREY: And if you give me 45 minutes,
I can teach Professor Le Gall
to tell you exactly how she
would like you to fuck her,
though you would not be
given the opportunity
in a million years.
Oh, forgive me.
I think I hear the soufflé falling.
Ahh.
- I have to have you right now.
- Oh, Mike, no.
- speaking French
- No, no, no.
- No, no.
- Anybody could walk in.
Who gives a fuck? Come on.
No. Mike, no.
Professor... I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean to offend you.
You... you didn't.
Yes, I did. Of course I did.
I behaved like a total asshole.
I just... ugh, it's Noah Solloway.
He just makes me so agitated.
I mean, I didn't know
he was gonna be here.
I mean, why did you invite him?
We bumped into each other on the quad,
and he seemed rather lonely, so...
I'm taking his class.
Did I tell you that?
- You didn't.
- Well, I am,
and he's a complete dick.
I mean an utter asshole,
and all I can do is think
about fucking him.
MIKE: So do it.
Seriously, Audrey. What's stopping you?
- Jesus!
- That he's your professor?
That he's twice your age?
That he's an ex-felon?
But you're so liberated.
Oh, my God, Mike, why are
you so obsessed with me?
- MIKE: Obsessed with you?
- AUDREY: Yes.
I'm trying to have a private
conversation with my professor.
Do you mind?
Yeah, I do mind, Audrey,
because I was here first.
Today romantic love has
replaced Christianity
as a doctrine for enforcing
the ideal of monogamy,
and the French realize
all this is unrealistic.
What happened to Noah? Did he leave?
No. He went upstairs. He
said he wasn't feeling well.
Lila, tell me you agree with me.
The French recognize
marriage for what it is:
a social construct created
to protect property.
I agree with that...
with that one statement
out of everything you said tonight.
LILA: Just don't be that happy.
BLAKE: You... you like... you
just like disagreeing.
(MUFFLED CONVERSATION CONTINUES)
Oh, hi.
Hello.
I was... I was looking for a quiet space.
I hope you don't mind.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
I haven't been around that
many people in a long time.
Takes some getting used to again.
Hmm.
Are they always like that?
The students? You tell me.
It's your country.
I am just a visiting professor.
What's a nice girl like you
doing in a place like this?
Uh, I'm here because the library claims
to have unearthed certain pages
from a rare manuscript
that I happen to be an expert on.
Really? What is it?
Les Esches d'Amour.
The Chess of Love.
It was written in the 14th century.
And this library thinks they
have some missing pages.
- Mmm.
- Do they?
I'm not sure yet, but if
I had to wager a guess,
I'd say no.
How long have they got you for?
I'll teach until the
end of the semester.
I've promised my husband
I'd be home for Christmas.
- Long time to be away.
- Yes, but they gave me
this generous residency,
and this house, and the
cutest little red car.
I love that car.
Is this your, uh...
Yes.
C'est Etienne.
With my daughter,
Sabine, many years ago.
She's all grown up now.
She a medievalist, like her mom?
No, but my husband is.
A very famous one.
A famous medievalist?
Yes. In certain circles.
That's how we met. I was his student.
Do you think it's true what
Audrey was saying downstairs?
What was Audrey saying?
That she knows exactly what
she wants from her body.
From men.
From everything.
♪♪♪
I think Audrey is...
I think Audrey is very young.
Yes.
But I don't ever remember
feeling that confident,
even when I was her age.
Maybe she really does know
exactly what she wants.
Maybe this younger generation
simply understands themselves better.
Maybe the uncertainty
that I've always assumed
is integral to eroticism...
doesn't exist for them.

- Who did what to me?
Who stabbed you, Noah?
What... what is she talking about?
- Did I get stabbed?
- Why doesn't he know that?
I'm-I'm very sorry, Mr. Solloway.
You were attacked by
someone with a knife.
You bled profusely.
They took you to surgery where Dr.
Quittner
closed the artery off.
- Jesus.
- You were very lucky.
The blade missed your airway,
and your jugular vein,
and just nicked your artery.
- HELEN: Who did this to you?
- I don't know.
I-I-I don't remember.
- You can't remember anything?
- No.
Well, why not? I mean
why can't he remember?
I'm not sure, Mrs. Solloway.
When is the surgeon coming back?
'Cause I'd like to speak to him.
They found you in some
student's apartment?
I'm renting it.
And you really don't remember anything?
I remember washing
dishes late at night...
Well, why were you
washing dishes so late?
Could this have been an accident?
- Maybe I f-fell or something.
- It was a knife, Noah.
A fucking knife sliced into your throat.
(SIGHS)
- Okay.
- HELEN: Are you sure that
he doesn't have any brain
damage or something?
He had a CAT scan, and the
result came back normal.
Somebody tried to kill you.
Do you understand?
TREVOR: Can we come in now?
Shit, Dad. Are you all right?
Hey, kids. I've been better.
Everything's gonna be okay.
Does this thing have a massage feature?
Your dad's right. He's going to be fine.
He should be home in a couple of days.
He doesn't live with us.
LIGAYA: Um, Mr. Solloway,
I need to ask you
a few more questions. I'm sorry.
And then I'll let you rest.
Can you tell me,
do you have a history of
any previous surgeries?
He had his appendix out ten years ago.
That's it, unless you
count his wisdom teeth.
- No.
- I think you were what,
- 25 or 26?
- LIGAYA: It's not relevant.
- What about medications?
- HELEN: No. He doesn't...
- Are you currently taking any?
- HELEN: He hates medication.
He won't even take Tylenol
when he has a fever.
- I'm on Vicodin.
- What?
- LIGAYA: Dosage?
- 7.5 milligrams.
I had a shoulder injury.
I'm... the pain gets pretty bad.
Is that getting worse?
Who's treating you?
- I have a prescription, Helen.
- From who?
LIGAYA: That's all I need for now.
Is there anything I can get for you, Mr.
Solloway?
- No. Thank you very much.
- STACEY: Can we go now?
That's a good idea. Your
father could use some rest.
HELEN: Can you bring your
sister down to the cafeteria
and get her something to eat and
I'll meet you guys there, okay?
TREVOR: But I don't have any money.
HELEN: Nothing too sweet.
Could you get a few more blankets?

AUDREY: How can you possibly
call this an ambiguous case?
MIKE: She got into bed
with him of her own accord.
AUDREY: It doesn't matter.
She did not want to give
Nicholas Perry a blowjob.
Are you saying that you're
okay with forcing a woman
against her will to give you a blowjob?
For fuck's sake, Audrey. Of
course I'm not saying that,
but this specific lady
gave no indication
that she didn't want
what he was giving her.
Oh, I'm sorry, Mike. Were you there?
She admits it herself. She does.
She admits she swallowed.
- (GIRLS GROAN)
- MIKE: What? Oh, come on.
Grow up. Could we not just at least
maybe... maybe consider the idea
that she was on board here?
AUDREY: Mike, every two minutes
someone is sexually
assaulted in our country.
Do you know how often the
perpetrator is punished?
- Less than one percent.
- Thanks.
AUDREY: Thank you. Yes.
And do you know why?
Because it's because of
this exact conversation,
because we don't believe our victims.
We make them feel like
they asked for it.
MIKE: Okay. I'm just
trying to have a dialogue,
but if you're just gonna recite
a Planned Parenthood pamphlet at me...
- AUDREY: Oh, my God.
- what's the point to it?
I can't believe I ever slept with you.
(CHUCKLES) Okay, all right.
So that's what this little
tirade is really about, right?
Right, Audrey? Admit it.
What I will admit, Cornwall,
is that I wanted to fuck you
at the time, and I regretted it after,
but because I'm a cognizant human being
who is able to determine and
articulate my own desire,
I did not bring rape
charges against you,
even after I found out
what a giant turd you are.
But if we had had sex against my will,
that would have been different.
Do you understand that distinction?
Yes. I understand the distinction.
Do you think I'm capable of
understanding that distinction?
Frankly, right now I'm just
terrified of you, Audrey.
Oh, my God. You're a fucking dick.
Whoa! Come on. It's the coq au vin.
AUDREY: I'm sorry, Professor.
I'm sorry.
I just... he's... I-I can't. I can't...
please tell me it's not
like this in France.
It's not at all like this in France.
It's much worse.
- AUDREY: What?
- JULIETTE: Yes.
I'm afraid the whole topic is
still not taken seriously.
MIKE: Oui? C'est bon.
You're very lucky to be surrounded
by such enlightened chaps
such as myself and Blake.
Professor.
JULIETTE: It's curious, though.
In this case, the two parties
agree on what happened.
She gave him a blowjob.
He didn't force her to.
- No, he didn't.
- But they don't agree
on the meaning of the act.
He said she wanted to.
She said she didn't.
Is that right?
- She didn't consent.
- But he didn't force her.
- MIKE: No.
- But she didn't consent.
That's very confusing, isn't it?
- No. Not to me.
- JULIETTE: Yes.
I see that it's quite clear to you.
But I live some decades now,
and there's a lot
about what I want that
I don't understand
and that I don't expect
a lover to understand.
Professor Le Gall, please tell me
that you see the problem here.
JULIETTE: I see problems, I do.
But I think we all live in our
own version of the truth,
and thus we are prone to
terrible miscommunications.
Perhaps she was trying to
communicate one thing,
and he read something else.
That's possible, isn't it?
Yes. Of course it's possible.
That's why the university
needs to establish
and enforce a mandate of verbal consent.
I understand how such a thing
would protect the university,
but I don't see how sex
itself would survive.
Why not?
Because I am afraid the articulate
is the enemy of the erotic.
Isn't the whole point
that you don't know
what your lover will do next?
That you give yourself over
to a sensory experience
that you haven't planned
and can't control?
The reason I like sex
is that I can finally,
for a moment,
turn off my neurotic mind
and just be consumed.
If I give my lover permission... yes,
no, uh, touch me,
not there... don't I undermine
the potency of his desire?
♪♪♪
I'm sorry. You're all looking
at me like I'm crazy.
Do I sound crazy?
No.
Well, Professor Le
Gall is a love expert.
Professor Le Gall is a
courtly love expert.
MIKE: What's your point?
AUDREY: Besides the
fact that this manner
of thinking has been out
of date for 600 years,
was written entirely by men
wherein the women served as
the object of male desire,
but had no voice of her own.
So perhaps we can forgive
Professor Le Gall for assuming
that the articulation of female desire
is somehow anathema to
sexual satisfaction.
But with all due respect,
Professor, I would argue
that she simply never learned
the appropriate language,
because I can tell you exactly
how I want you to fuck me.
- Believe me, I remember.
- AUDREY: And Lila can tell you
exactly how she wants you to fuck her.
Hard.
AUDREY: And if you give me 45 minutes,
I can teach Professor Le Gall
to tell you exactly how she
would like you to fuck her,
though you would not be
given the opportunity
in a million years.
Oh, forgive me.
I think I hear the soufflé falling.
Ahh.
- I have to have you right now.
- Oh, Mike, no.
- speaking French
- No, no, no.
- No, no.
- Anybody could walk in.
Who gives a fuck? Come on.
No. Mike, no.
Professor... I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean to offend you.
You... you didn't.
Yes, I did. Of course I did.
I behaved like a total asshole.
I just... ugh, it's Noah Solloway.
He just makes me so agitated.
I mean, I didn't know
he was gonna be here.
I mean, why did you invite him?
We bumped into each other on the quad,
and he seemed rather lonely, so...
I'm taking his class.
Did I tell you that?
- You didn't.
- Well, I am,
and he's a complete dick.
I mean an utter asshole,
and all I can do is think
about fucking him.
MIKE: So do it.
Seriously, Audrey. What's stopping you?
- Jesus!
- That he's your professor?
That he's twice your age?
That he's an ex-felon?
But you're so liberated.
Oh, my God, Mike, why are
you so obsessed with me?
- MIKE: Obsessed with you?
- AUDREY: Yes.
I'm trying to have a private
conversation with my professor.
Do you mind?
Yeah, I do mind, Audrey,
because I was here first.
Today romantic love has
replaced Christianity
as a doctrine for enforcing
the ideal of monogamy,
and the French realize
all this is unrealistic.
What happened to Noah? Did he leave?
No. He went upstairs. He
said he wasn't feeling well.
Lila, tell me you agree with me.
The French recognize
marriage for what it is:
a social construct created
to protect property.
I agree with that...
with that one statement
out of everything you said tonight.
LILA: Just don't be that happy.
BLAKE: You... you like... you
just like disagreeing.
(MUFFLED CONVERSATION CONTINUES)

Hello.
I was... I was looking for a quiet space.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
I haven't been around that

Hmm.
Are they always like that?
The students? You tell me.
It's your country.
I am just a visiting professor.
What's a nice girl like you
doing in a place like this?
Uh, I'm here because the library claims
to have unearthed certain pages
from a rare manuscript
that I happen to be an expert on.
Really? What is it?
Les Esches d'Amour.
The Chess of Love.
It was written in the 14th century.
And this library thinks they
have some missing pages.
- Mmm.
- Do they?
I'm not sure yet, but if
I had to wager a guess,
I'd say no.
How long have they got you for?
I'll teach until the
end of the semester.
I've promised my husband
I'd be home for Christmas.
- Long time to be away.
- Yes, but they gave me
this generous residency,
and this house, and the
cutest little red car.
I love that car.

Yes.

Congratulations. Happy six months.
Thanks.
It's transparent.
Right. Yeah.
See if you got a shank, or contraband,
or whatever, you know.
It's good, right?
- It's great.

There's a place in Jersey

Takes, like, months to get here.
Prisoner got out last week

so I thought that maybe,
you know, you could, uh...
I don't know how to thank you, man.
(SCOFFS) Use it.
- I will.

Yeah.
Hey, I ordered your book.
Am I gonna like it?
Let me know.
I will do.
What, you thought I forgot you?
Eh.
Thank you.

Not really. My head's pounding.

Um, she'll be back in a few minutes.
Do you feel up to answering a
few questions in the meantime?
- Go ahead. Ask.

Don't think I'll be
able to help you much.
I don't remember a thing.
Well, can you say what you do remember?
I was at the sink washing dishes,
and then I'm here being told
someone stabbed me in the neck.
And you have no idea who
might have done that to you?
- No.
- Look.
We've been by the apartment,
and we got our guys over there now.
And so far we've seen no
signs of a forced entry,
so would you happen to
recall whether or not
you locked the door?
(PLASTIC CUP CRINKLING)
(GROANS) Uh...
I might have or not. I couldn't...
why? Do you think this was a robbery?
- Unlikely.
- Yeah.
Not with the nature of the injury.
The fact that he went
for the neck, I mean,
that tells us that the assailant
meant to do real harm.
- Yeah. Well, he succeeded.
- STANTON: Mr. Solloway,
we're treating this attack
as an attempted homicide.
Jesus.
(PLASTIC CUP CONTINUES CRINKLING)
What the fuck?
What about the kid?
- What kid?
- Uh, the frat guy.
Regers or the guy I sublet...
- Dan? Dan Regan?

Could they have been after him?
Mr. Regan's at the station.
He's cooperating.
Yeah, I mean, plus, you
know, like you say,
he's a 20-year-old Delta Phi kid,
and you just finished
three years at Fishkill.
You're a public figure.
(CUP CRINKLING STOPS)
STANTON: So if either one of
you was gonna be targeted,
we're gonna lean towards you.
I mean, would you agree with that?
- Fine.

Is there anyone out there
that's got a gripe with you?
Might want to harm you?

What's your relationship like
with Cole Lockhart these days?
- We don't have one.
- When's the last time
you had any contact with Mr. Lockhart?
I don't know. Years ago.
The trial, I guess.
- Brother's murder trial?
- Right.

what happened to his brother

No, no, no. She wasn't at my house.

You have no fucking clue who
might actually have done this.

Just go and do their jobs?
Will you do that for me, please?
