Before I Go to Sleep Page #2

You were doing an MA in History.

We got married

a couple of years after that.

I still teach at a school

round the corner.

I'm the head of

the chemistry department.

What do I do?

You stay at home.

What, I don't do anything? I don't...

I don't study? I don't work from home?

I just sit around all day?

You store up information for a day.

And when you wake up in the morning,

it's all gone.

You're back to your early 20s, Chris.

And tonight,

as I sleep, my mind...

My mind will erase everything

that I know,

everything that I did today.

And I will wake up tomorrow,

like I did this morning,

thinking that I have

my whole life ahead of me.

God, without this, I would believe

anything that he says. Anything.

That you had a car accident?

I wonder what else he lies about?

If we want to keep this

between ourselves,

I can't risk calling on the house phone

when Ben's home.

Why is he hiding the attack?

Perhaps it's just easier.

- God!

- Sorry.

I wish I wasn't so frightened

all of the time.

Do you really think this is a good idea?

There are plenty of

case histories of patients

going back to where

they suffered trauma.

Actually, it's very rarely effective.

So why are we doing it?

We're building trust.

Hang on a minute.

- Mr Nancarrow?

- Yeah.

I'm Dr Nasch, we spoke on the phone.

Dr Nasch, yeah.

I'll have to call you back.

Careful.

Got quite a fright when I first saw you.

Here, just down here.

That's where I found you.

Would you describe

exactly what you saw?

I don't know,

it was a long time ago.

Well, just tell us

what you remember.

Wife just come off shift.

Miss Lucas was naked.

- Naked?

- Apart from a sheet.

A bed sheet or a plastic sheet?

Wife have said if it was plastic.

Where did I come from?

You couldn't remember.

You were very confused.

There was blood.

My blood?

Where?

Everywhere.

What was I doing by the airport?

Well, there are a lot of hotels

in the area.

Dozens.

Hotels?

It would explain the bed sheet.

I live here.

Why would I be staying in a hotel?

All sorts of reasons.

The medical examination

indicated recent sexual intercourse.

There was no trace of semen

or anything to help the police

identify the man you slept with.

Was I raped?

The police report suggested not.

I'm married. I don't think

I would be the kind of person

who would cheat on my husband.

How do you know?

Whatever happened that night,

whatever I've done,

I have to remember.

I know I do.

I have to, for us.

For us.

Chris?

No.

No!

Christine, could you

open your eyes, please?

We're going to show you some pictures.

And I want you to look at each one

and tell yourself what or who it is.
