Before I Go to Sleep Page #2
You were doing an MA in History.
We got married
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
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.
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.
