which we should probably talk

about, or you just lied to me.

I didn't want to start

a fight with you.

Justin.

He called me.

What was I supposed to do?

I don't know.

Maybe tell him to f*** off.

See, this is why I

didn't want to tell you.

Just tell him to

stop calling here.

I did.

Well, obviously, your brother

doesn't understand the words no

and stop.

What do you want from me, Beth?

Just the minimum under the

circumstances would be nice.

I'm trying.

It hurts that she

doesn't fully believe me.

I mean, I know it's her brother.

But...

I know him.

I just can't picture him doing

something like that ever.

I just want Emily to believe me.

Without out, I don't see

how there can be an us.

What about the

last two subjects?

What was their history, in

terms of violent behavior?

Our last two

subjects... the first

is Steve, works in

the TV film industry,

and his wife,

Christina, unemployed.

There was no history of

any physical episodes.

But we did feel that there was

evidence of a very emotionally

volatile relationship.

I've been really

emotional these days.

Steve and I are having

a lot of problems.

I really feel like he

wants to divorce me.

Kristina has become

so insecure about me

wanting to leave that she's

making me want to leave.

I know in my heart that Steve

would never cheated on me.

But whenever he's away...

I don't know.

I just I can't help it.

At this point, I'm willing

to do whatever it takes.

I mean, we've tried

couple's therapy,

hypnosis, self-help books.

This might be our

last opportunity.

And I really hope it helps.

If this doesn't work, I

don't know what I'll do.

I can't imagine

living without him.

Where the f*** have you been?

Kristina, I told you last

week I'll be working late.

I even called and asked you.

And you said it

wouldn't be a problem.

Well, you could have at least

f***ing picked up your phone.

I was working, editing.

Yeah, editing.

He's f***ing editing.

I'll call Mark, and

he can tell you.

Stop it.

Don't do that.

Why not?

Because then I'm

just the crazy wife

that doesn't trust her husband.

No, I'll call him and I'll put

it on speaker, and you can...

He's not stupid.

He'll know what you're doing.

Just stop.

Baby, I'm under so

much pressure right now

to meet this deadline.

You have no idea.

I know, OK.

I'm sorry.

I do remember you telling

me about being in editing

this week.

You do?

I'm sorry.

You have a brain like a sieve.

Should I cancel tomorrow night?

What's tomorrow night?

You forgot about tomorrow night?

What's tomorrow night?

Mike and Reese.

It's been planned for weeks.

No, I remember.

I remember.

Come on, I just...
