Not a good idea.

What do you think?

I think you're both

as crazy as each other.

[sighs] So that's it?

You don't understand.

She's fragile.

Yeah, so are you.

No. I'm tougher than she is.

After Max died, she

was very sick.

I don't want to put

her off her game.

You want to just

give it all up for her?

I don't believe a word you say.

[ Footsteps ]

[ Slams Door ]

[ Traffic Noise ]

[ Noise ]

Hi. I need to talk to you.

[ Music ]

I need to talk to you.

[ Music ]

[ Footsteps ]

Imagine what the worlds

would be like without her.

You'd be free.

I am free.

Why don't we leave together?

Because I can't afford you.

Oh, is that why you

stay with her, the money?

Do you think of me

when you stay with her?

No, I don't.

[door bell ringing] Who's that?

I want to talk to you.

Go ahead.

[ Noise ]

Is this place ever

going to be ready?

You didn't come

all the way over here

to discuss my apartment.

Why don't we just

get it over with?

Meaning what?

Of course, you

should do the movie.

I'm happy for you.

Thank you.

That's not what I

came to talk about.

[ Noise ]

Well, it's not the first time

you've been called a murderer.

It's a little

odd, don't you think?

You told Jake?

I want him to know.

What about Edie?

What about her?

Done anything to

upset her lately?

I don't-- I just-- I

think maybe she's feeling a

bit cutout.

I came over here because

I wanted your advice.

to make sure it's not me.

[ Pause ]

I'm-- I'll call you.

[ Noise ]

What are you going to do?

Nothing.

Nothing at all.

[ Noise ]

Hey! What are you doing?

Nothing Daddy.

You wrote that

note, didn't you?

What? Of course I didn't.

I have no idea who's behind

it, but she's up to something.

[ Noise ]

I got to go.

Don't go.

We need to talk.

Pathetic.

[ Noise ]

Listen, I'm-- sorry I

didn't mean to bother you.

I just-- I've seen every

film that you've done

and I think you're amazing.

Thank you very much.

You know, I wrote

you several letters.

[Inaudible Remark]

No. Listen, I wrote

you several times.

You know, I just wanted to talk

to you about something and--

come on Kathryn, come on!

Listen, I just-- why

didn't you read my letters?

Your marriage to the late

industrialist Maximilian Pierce.

Max's killer has

never been found.

[Gun Shot]

[ Music ]

At the time, there

was some speculation

that you were involved

in his death.

[ Music ]

Good morning.

[ Noise ]

There's an article on page

six about your new film.

[ Noise ]

You need to call

Dr. Seger to

make an appointment.

[ Noise ]

[ Music ]

Honestly Humphrey,

they're all girl.

Zoe especially.

No, no, I'm sure.

Yup, let's do it.

Yeah, you're right.
