Gone Girl

0:00:02 > 0:00:06This film contains very strong language, some scenes which some

0:00:06 > 0:00:10viewers may find upsetting, and scenes of a sexual nature

0:00:20 > 0:00:22When I think of my wife...

0:00:23 > 0:00:26..I always think of her head.

0:00:27 > 0:00:30I picture cracking her lovely skull...

0:00:30 > 0:00:32..unspooling her brains...

0:00:32 > 0:00:35..trying to get answers.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39The primal questions of any marriage.

0:00:39 > 0:00:42"What are you thinking?"

0:02:49 > 0:02:51Well, if you're not going to talk,

0:02:51 > 0:02:52I'm going to have to fill the silence

0:02:52 > 0:02:55with another excruciating story by Margo Dunne.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57I could tell you about my recent customer service experience,

0:02:57 > 0:02:59- changing internet service providers...- I like that one.

0:02:59 > 0:03:00Or how about the time

0:03:00 > 0:03:02I saw that woman who looked exactly like my friend Monica?

0:03:02 > 0:03:04But it wasn't Monica. it was a total stranger.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06Who was also named Monica.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08- Made it kind of interesting. - It's great.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39where you put down that monk-brewed Belgian wheat beer...

0:03:39 > 0:03:42..because the party's down to three Beast Lights and a bottle of Pucker.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44It might attract some desperate characters.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46It could. I mean, the Amish are on a Rumspringa.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53They already relieved me of my artisanal meat platter.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Finally, someone tells me how to pronounce that word.

0:03:55 > 0:03:56"Meat"?

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Yes, "meat." One syllable.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01Thank you. Whose beer am I about to drink?

0:04:01 > 0:04:02Don't tell me.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18- FLATLY:- Ha, ha. - No, I mean it.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21- It's hard to believe you.- Why?

0:05:21 > 0:05:22I think it's your chin.

0:05:22 > 0:05:23My chin?

0:05:23 > 0:05:26- SHE LAUGHS - Yeah, it's quite villainous.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38and we end up living in these little cubby holes, and that's not it.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43So, is Amy going to do one of those anniversary...

0:06:43 > 0:06:44..treasure hunts?

0:06:44 > 0:06:46You mean the forced march designed to prove

0:06:46 > 0:06:49what an oblivious and uncaring asshole her husband is?

0:07:01 > 0:07:04"When your poor Amy has a cold...

0:07:04 > 0:07:06"..this dessert just must be sold."

0:07:06 > 0:07:07The answer?

0:07:07 > 0:07:09I still don't know the answer, Go.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11- A few years ago, you'd have known. - A few years ago, it was fun.

0:07:11 > 0:07:12Year one, the traditional gift was paper.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14She got me a beautiful notebook.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16Told me to go write my novel.

0:07:16 > 0:07:17What did you get her?

0:07:17 > 0:07:18- A kite.- Hmm.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21- She'd never flown a kite.- OK.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23Anyway. Year four, flowers.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26She led me outside to the dying rosebush in the back yard.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29- Ugh, that's symbolic.- Yeah.

0:07:29 > 0:07:30What's the gift for five?

0:07:30 > 0:07:33- Wood.- So, what did you get her? - There's no good gift for wood.

0:07:33 > 0:07:37I know! Go home, fuck her brains out, slap her with your penis.

0:07:37 > 0:07:38"There's some wood for you, bitch."

0:09:12 > 0:09:14I don't know where my wife is.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16And I came home to this.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20Now, I don't panic easily...

0:09:20 > 0:09:22..but it's weird, right?

0:09:23 > 0:09:25- Mind if we look around?- Please.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27How long have you two been here?

0:09:27 > 0:09:30Two years in September. We used to live in New York.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33- City?- Yeah, I was a writer. We were both writers.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Why'd y'all move back here?

0:09:37 > 0:09:40Oh, I'm sorry. How is she?

0:11:06 > 0:11:09Wow. Impressive gal.

0:11:09 > 0:11:10Yeah. Should I be concerned?

0:11:10 > 0:11:11I remember these.

0:11:13 > 0:11:14I loved these books.

0:11:18 > 0:11:19Wait a minute.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40jealous, as always, of the golden child.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42Perfect, brilliant, Amazing Amy,

0:11:42 > 0:11:44who's getting fucking married.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46When I was ten, I quit cello.

0:11:46 > 0:11:50In the next book, Amazing Amy became a prodigy.

0:11:52 > 0:11:53Did you play volleyball?

0:11:53 > 0:11:55I got cut, freshman year.

0:11:55 > 0:11:58- She made varsity. - CHUCKLES

0:11:58 > 0:12:00When did you have a dog?

0:12:00 > 0:12:02SHE got the dog.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04Puddles made her more relatable.

0:12:04 > 0:12:05Wow.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07I love your parents... HE LAUGHS

0:12:07 > 0:12:09..but they really can be assholes.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13- Hey, thanks for coming, man. - No problem.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15Hey, sweetheart.

0:12:15 > 0:12:16Big night for your mom.

0:12:16 > 0:12:20It would mean so much if you would talk to a few reporters,

0:12:20 > 0:12:22bloggers, give them a little Amy colour.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24People want to hear from you.

0:12:24 > 0:12:25- We can't stay long.- Fantastic.

0:12:25 > 0:12:2815 minutes, tops.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30This is why I have my brownstone.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32My trust fund. I know I can't complain.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35Your parents literally plagiarised your childhood.

0:12:35 > 0:12:36No, they improved upon it,

0:12:36 > 0:12:39and then peddled it to the masses.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41I thought you were going to wear white to match the wedding theme.

0:12:41 > 0:12:42- I thought that would be creepy. - HE CHUCKLES

0:12:42 > 0:12:45"If it's worth doing, it's worth doing..."

0:12:45 > 0:12:47Hold up! I know how this ends. Don't tell me.

0:12:47 > 0:12:49You're very cute, Nick.

0:12:49 > 0:12:50Amy, you know what would make Dad's night.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52Oh, I'm on it.

0:12:52 > 0:12:53INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS

0:12:53 > 0:12:56I love having strangers pick at my scabs.

0:12:56 > 0:12:57I'm curious whether

0:12:57 > 0:12:59it's difficult for you to see Amazing Amy heading down the aisle.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02And this big party celebrating this fictional wedding.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04Because it's my understanding you are not married.

0:13:04 > 0:13:07Is that correct?

0:13:07 > 0:13:08Correct.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11Amazing Amy has always been one step ahead of me.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14Excuse me. I'm sorry, I just have a few questions.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16- HE SIGHS - It's you.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18I'm here in a strictly journalistic capacity.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20Now, you had the distinct pleasure

0:13:20 > 0:13:21of dating Nick Dunne for how long?

0:13:21 > 0:13:24- Two magical years. - "Two magical years."

0:13:24 > 0:13:26In the course of that time, you've had the opportunity

0:13:26 > 0:13:28to perform such gracious gestures as

0:13:28 > 0:13:32not correcting Nick when he pronounced "quinoa" as "kween-o-a."

0:13:32 > 0:13:34An understandable mistake.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36- He also thought it was a fish. - He thinks Velveeta is a cheese.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40You also manage to appear shocked and delighted

0:13:40 > 0:13:42when Nick's elderly mother breaks into an impromptu rendition

0:13:42 > 0:13:44of New York, New York, every time she sees you.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46# These bag of bone shoes... #

0:13:46 > 0:13:47That's just frightening.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50You also bought Nick his very first pair of scissors.

0:13:50 > 0:13:52And matching stapler.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54Amy Elliott, you are more than amazing.

0:13:54 > 0:13:58You are brilliant, yet entirely un-snobby.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01You challenge me. You surprise me.

0:14:01 > 0:14:03And, fun fact for the readers...

0:14:03 > 0:14:05..you have a world-class vagina.

0:14:05 > 0:14:06REPORTERS CHUCKLE

0:14:06 > 0:14:07SHE LAUGHS

0:14:07 > 0:14:10My colleagues tell me that you are not yet married.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12Is that correct?

0:14:12 > 0:14:13I'm not.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15Isn't it time we fixed that?

0:14:16 > 0:14:18And then...

0:14:18 > 0:14:20..the night wasn't so bad any more.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25INDISTINCT CHATTER ON POLICE RADIO

0:14:36 > 0:14:38And it's done. Crossed off the list.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40Now, normally, we would not treat this

0:14:40 > 0:14:42as a missing persons case so quick,

0:14:42 > 0:14:44but given the scene at your house,

0:14:44 > 0:14:46and given our spike in violent crime of late,

0:14:46 > 0:14:48we are going to take this very, very seriously.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51- OK. Good.- We've got forensics over at your place.

0:14:51 > 0:14:52You got somewhere to stay?

0:14:52 > 0:14:54- I could stay at my sister's.- OK.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56We're tracking Amy's phone, her credit cards.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58We will organise searches, put up flyers.

0:14:58 > 0:14:59We're going to hold a press conference tomorrow.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01You're having a press conference?

0:15:01 > 0:15:02I want to get the word out, right?

0:15:02 > 0:15:04Yeah, it's just, all of a sudden,

0:15:04 > 0:15:06I feel like I'm on a Law & Order episode.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08HE VOCALISES THEME SONG

0:15:14 > 0:15:16Time is of the essence in these cases.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19But, that said, do you want to wait and call a lawyer?

0:15:19 > 0:15:20Absolutely not. I just want to help.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22So, you and Amy have been here two years.

0:15:22 > 0:15:25- You tend bar... - I own The Bar.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28And I teach creative writing at MVCC.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30- No kids?- Not yet.

0:15:30 > 0:15:32So, what does Amy do most days?

0:15:32 > 0:15:34A woman with all those degrees, what does she do?

0:15:34 > 0:15:36I don't know. She keeps busy.

0:15:36 > 0:15:37Doing what?

0:15:39 > 0:15:41She's a voracious reader.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43So, she's always got a book in her hand.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46Well, days can get long.

0:15:46 > 0:15:47I know a few housewives,

0:15:47 > 0:15:50that evening glass of wine starts coming at noon.

0:15:50 > 0:15:51Or prescription pills.

0:15:51 > 0:15:52Just last week, we had a soccer mom.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55Nice lady. Got her teeth kicked in over some OxyContin.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57Ever since that mall went bust, half the town is out of work.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59We cannot keep up with the drug violence.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01I'm pretty sure that's not it.

0:16:01 > 0:16:02Has Amy got friends we can talk to?

0:16:02 > 0:16:03Um...

0:16:04 > 0:16:06..no, not really.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08No friends? This whole town?

0:16:08 > 0:16:11She was very close with my mom, before she passed away.

0:16:11 > 0:16:13You know, we have a pretty serious homeless problem

0:16:13 > 0:16:15in our neighbourhood.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17I think maybe you guys should check that out.

0:16:17 > 0:16:18We'll look into that.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21So, you got to The Bar around 11 today.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24- Where were you before that? Just to cross that out.- Well, I was home.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26I left at 9.30, I got a cup of coffee, a newspaper.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28I went to Sawyer Beach and read the news.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30Did you visit with anyone there?

0:16:30 > 0:16:33I kind of go to Sawyer Beach for the solitude.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35So, your wife has no friends here.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37Is she kinda standoffish?

0:16:37 > 0:16:40Ivy League? Rubs people the wrong way?

0:16:40 > 0:16:42- She's from New York.- Oh.

0:16:42 > 0:16:45She's complicated. She's got very high standards.

0:16:45 > 0:16:46Type A?

0:16:46 > 0:16:49That can make you crazy if you're not like that.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54Speaking of which, Amy's blood type?

0:16:54 > 0:16:56God, I don't know. I'd have to look it up at the house.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01and you don't know your wife's blood type.

0:17:01 > 0:17:02Sure y'all are married?

0:44:11 > 0:44:13It would be a new start for us.

0:44:13 > 0:44:15And for me, I would have a real purpose here.

0:44:15 > 0:44:17A child is not a hobby.

0:44:17 > 0:44:19Not a hobby.

0:44:19 > 0:44:20An inspiration.

0:44:20 > 0:44:23We could have had this fight four hours ago. I'm late.

0:44:23 > 0:44:25I didn't know it was going to be a fight.

0:44:25 > 0:44:26You really want to be the couple that has a baby

0:44:31 > 0:44:34- And you're going to walk out the door now?- Yeah!

0:44:34 > 0:44:36You're a fucking coward.

0:44:36 > 0:44:38No, it can't go on like this.

0:44:38 > 0:44:40- Oh, really?- I won't.- You won't?

0:44:40 > 0:44:43You won't? Why, it's not good enough for you?

0:44:43 > 0:44:46- It's not even close! - You stupid bitch!

0:44:46 > 0:44:49What scared me wasn't that he'd pushed me.

0:44:49 > 0:44:53What scared me was how much he wanted to hurt me more.

0:44:53 > 0:44:55What scared me was that I'd finally realised...

0:44:56 > 0:45:00..I am frightened of my own husband.

0:46:09 > 0:46:10Yeah. I remember her.

0:46:10 > 0:46:13What did she want? Weed, pills?

0:46:14 > 0:46:15She wanted a gun.

0:46:15 > 0:46:17I told her it's not my thing.

0:46:17 > 0:46:20I felt bad, though. She seemed really desperate.

0:46:20 > 0:46:24She said it needed to be small, so she could keep it close.

0:46:24 > 0:46:26Are you sure this is her?

0:46:26 > 0:46:28You don't forget a girl like that in here.

0:46:28 > 0:46:30She was all in pink.

0:46:30 > 0:46:32It was Valentine's Day.

0:46:35 > 0:46:38For Valentine's Day, I thought I'd buy a gun.

0:46:38 > 0:46:40That is how crazy I've become.

0:46:41 > 0:46:45Nick wants me gone, but he won't ask for a divorce.

0:46:45 > 0:46:49In his mind, I'm the owner of his bar, his only line of credit.

0:46:49 > 0:46:51The bitch with the prenup.

0:46:53 > 0:46:55I could go home to my parents...

0:48:17 > 0:48:20- A year and a half. - You lied to me for over a year?

0:48:20 > 0:48:22Oh, if I told you, you would have made me stop.

0:48:22 > 0:48:23It's so fucking small.

0:48:23 > 0:48:26You're a liar and a cheat! You're just like Dad!

0:48:26 > 0:48:28- How did you even meet her? - She's one of my students.

0:48:29 > 0:48:32- I thought writers hated cliches. - Oh, I'm not a writer.

0:48:32 > 0:48:34"Oh, boo-hoo, I got laid off. I guess I'll fuck a teenager."

0:48:34 > 0:48:37It wasn't like that, OK? You have no idea how shitty it was with Amy,

0:48:37 > 0:48:39how fuckin' terrible she made me feel.

0:48:46 > 0:48:47This is so bad.

0:48:47 > 0:48:49If anybody finds out, you're totally fucked.

0:48:56 > 0:48:58Her name is Andie.

0:48:58 > 0:48:59She's not entirely sure.

0:48:59 > 0:49:01So we are dealing with a 20-year-old

0:49:01 > 0:49:02who isn't sure where she leaves her undies?

0:49:02 > 0:49:04If they're not Andie's, that means that they're Amy's

0:49:04 > 0:49:06and she left them there for me to find.

0:49:06 > 0:49:10Nick, I was scared for you before and now, I'm fucking petrified.

0:49:10 > 0:49:12We're having a vigil tonight for your missing wife,

0:49:12 > 0:49:15and this morning, you're kissing your college girlfriend goodbye!

0:49:15 > 0:49:17Can you imagine?

0:49:17 > 0:49:20Have you watched television lately?

0:49:20 > 0:49:24Cable news is all over your shit.

0:49:24 > 0:49:26I mean, what is wrong with this barkeep?

0:49:26 > 0:49:28His wife's nowhere to be found,

0:49:28 > 0:49:30and here's Nick Dunne for you, flirting.

0:49:30 > 0:49:32- Cute pic, huh?- Who is that?

0:49:32 > 0:49:34Some fucking tragedy groupie.

0:49:34 > 0:49:35- Who the fuck is that?- I don't know.

0:49:35 > 0:49:37She was trying to give me a casserole.

0:49:42 > 0:49:46Tanner Bolt, would you actually consider defending Nick Dunne?

0:49:46 > 0:49:49Let me just say, as always, Ellen, thank you for such a warm welcome.

0:49:49 > 0:49:51But of course I'd defend Nick Dunne.

0:49:51 > 0:49:54Listen, just because this guy isn't walking around weeping,

0:49:54 > 0:49:55that doesn't mean that he's not hurting.

0:49:55 > 0:49:58Tanner, the hallmark of a sociopath is a lack of empathy.

0:49:58 > 0:50:01But the truth is, you'd have to be a sociopath

0:50:01 > 0:50:02to behave normally in this situation,

0:50:02 > 0:50:05because it's the most abnormal situation in the world.

0:50:05 > 0:50:08Tanner, are you trying to tell me that this photo

0:50:08 > 0:50:10is remotely in the realm of acceptable behaviour?

0:50:10 > 0:50:13I'm so sick of being picked apart by women.

0:50:14 > 0:50:16You need to hire Tanner Bolt.

0:50:17 > 0:50:18I don't deserve this.

0:50:18 > 0:50:20Innocent until proven guilty.

0:50:20 > 0:50:23That's exactly what you deserve.

0:50:23 > 0:50:24Go home, Nick.

0:51:11 > 0:51:14Why are you going so easy on him? You got a crush?

0:51:14 > 0:51:17One, I am conducting an investigation, not a witch-hunt.

0:51:17 > 0:51:19And, two, don't talk to me that way, ever.

0:51:19 > 0:51:20She was trying to buy a gun.

0:51:20 > 0:51:22We don't know who or what was scaring her, Gil.

0:51:22 > 0:51:24Give me the update.

0:51:24 > 0:51:26No drug angles panned out yet, so cross that off the list.

0:51:26 > 0:51:28I talked to the nurses who care for Nick's father.

0:51:28 > 0:51:31The guy's a bastard, but weak as a kitten, so cross that off the list.

0:51:31 > 0:51:32- Hey.- Hey.

0:51:32 > 0:51:35So, luminol lit up the kitchen like the 4th of July.

0:51:38 > 0:51:40It is Amy's, type B, and we should have DNA soon.

0:55:31 > 0:55:33Let's start over here. The scene of the crime.

0:55:33 > 0:55:35You see, we've seen dozens of home invasions.

0:55:35 > 0:55:37Dozens and dozens.

0:55:37 > 0:55:40This area right here, it looked wrong from the second we saw it.

0:55:40 > 0:55:43The whole thing looked staged. Watch this.

0:55:48 > 0:55:50I don't know. What do you want me to say?

0:55:50 > 0:55:51Did you do any housekeeping the day your wife went missing?

0:55:51 > 0:55:55- No.- Because our guys did a luminol test.

0:55:55 > 0:55:57And I'm sorry to tell you, but that kitchen lit up.

0:55:57 > 0:55:59Amy lost a lot of blood in there, Nick. A lot.

0:55:59 > 0:56:02- Oh, my God.- Yeah, and then somebody mopped it up.

0:56:02 > 0:56:04Oh... Wait a second. Why would they mop up the blood

0:56:04 > 0:56:06if they're trying to stage a crime scene?

0:56:06 > 0:56:08No blood and no body suggests kidnapping.

0:56:08 > 0:56:11It tells us, look at people OUTSIDE the house.

0:56:11 > 0:56:12Like these homeless you keep mentioning.

0:56:12 > 0:56:15A pool of blood and no body suggests homicide.

0:56:15 > 0:56:17It tells us to look at people INSIDE the house.

0:56:17 > 0:56:20- Which is what we're doing here, Nick.- I see.

0:56:20 > 0:56:21So, how was your marriage, Nick?

0:56:21 > 0:56:24- Because right now, all we got is Noelle.- She says, "Not good."

0:56:24 > 0:56:26Gil, what do you and your wife argue about?

0:56:26 > 0:56:28- What pisses you off? - Oh, money, lack thereof.

0:56:28 > 0:56:29Me and my ex, it's the same.

0:56:29 > 0:56:33I mention that because we got a look at your finances, Nick.

0:56:33 > 0:56:35117,000 in credit card debt.

0:56:35 > 0:56:37- What?- I pulled up some of the merchandise.

0:56:37 > 0:56:39There are these fun little splurges.

0:56:39 > 0:56:42I didn't buy any of this stuff. I don't even golf!

0:56:42 > 0:56:43I do! You bought great clubs.

0:56:43 > 0:56:44I like the robot dog.

0:56:44 > 0:56:46This is identity theft! This is a felony!

0:56:46 > 0:56:47We need to find out who did this!

0:56:47 > 0:56:49All right. Let's talk about life insurance.

0:56:49 > 0:56:52Because in April, you bumped up Amy's life insurance to 1.2 million.

0:56:52 > 0:56:55Yes, I did. That was her idea. She wanted me to.

0:56:55 > 0:56:56You filed the paperwork.

0:56:56 > 0:56:57- Because she told me to!- Whoa!

0:57:18 > 0:57:21I don't want to talk to you again, ever...

0:57:21 > 0:57:22..without a lawyer.

0:57:30 > 0:57:31Margo!

0:57:31 > 0:57:32OVERLAPPING SHOUTING

0:57:41 > 0:57:42Hey.

0:57:44 > 0:57:48- Just hold on a second. Let me finish.- Nick?

0:57:48 > 0:57:50I hear you, I hear you. I was as surprised as...

0:57:50 > 0:57:55I know you're upset. I had no idea she was pregnant.

0:57:55 > 0:57:58Listen, I thought so, too, but evidently that wasn't...

0:58:00 > 0:58:02You want to know the truth?

0:58:02 > 0:58:04The truth is, Amy didn't want kids.

0:58:07 > 0:58:09Well, I'm as surprised as...

0:58:10 > 0:58:12You told me YOU didn't want kids.

0:58:12 > 0:58:14SIGHS I was trying to put a good face on.

0:58:14 > 0:58:16Then, suddenly, you've got a pregnant wife.

0:58:16 > 0:58:17That's a problem for you.

0:58:17 > 0:58:20Especially when you factor in the secret teenage girlfriend.

0:58:20 > 0:58:21Oh, stop watching Ellen Abbott!

0:58:21 > 0:58:23You have to fucking talk to me!

0:58:25 > 0:58:28I didn't tell you that she didn't want kids

0:58:28 > 0:58:29because she didn't want me to.

0:58:29 > 0:58:31Because it would have just been another reason for you to hate her.

0:58:31 > 0:58:33And we had enough of those already! It was easier to just...

0:58:33 > 0:58:35- Lie to me?- I wanted kids!

0:58:35 > 0:58:38When we first moved here, I went to a fertility clinic!

0:58:38 > 0:58:39- It didn't work?- I did my part!

0:58:39 > 0:58:42- Masturbate.- When it came time for Amy to do her thing, all of a sudden it was like...

0:58:42 > 0:58:43"Well, I don't know. Maybe. No, thanks."

0:58:43 > 0:58:45Now, who would believe you?

0:58:46 > 0:58:48All right.

0:58:51 > 0:58:52SHE SCOFFS

0:58:57 > 0:58:59This is a letter from the clinic,

0:58:59 > 0:59:01notifying me that they're going to destroy my sample,

0:59:01 > 0:59:03unless I contact them.

0:59:04 > 0:59:06So, I gave it to Amy.

0:59:06 > 0:59:09The next day, I saw it in the trash.

0:59:09 > 0:59:11But you were already with Andie by then, right?

0:59:11 > 0:59:13I wanted a baby with Amy.

0:59:13 > 0:59:15A year ago, Amy being pregnant

0:59:15 > 0:59:17would have been the best thing ever!

0:59:23 > 0:59:25"When your poor Amy has a cold, this dessert just..."

0:59:25 > 0:59:26This is the clue you couldn't solve.

0:59:26 > 0:59:27Yeah.

0:59:29 > 0:59:31A letter from Desi.

0:59:31 > 0:59:32That creepy boyfriend of Amy's?

0:59:32 > 0:59:35It was the fucking rich guy who would do anything for her.

0:59:35 > 0:59:37It just kept hanging over my head. It was disgusting.

0:59:37 > 0:59:38Your prenup?

0:59:38 > 0:59:39Nick, why have you kept this stuff?

0:59:39 > 0:59:41It's like a little box of hate.

0:59:41 > 0:59:43I don't know, Go! Maybe I hate her!

0:59:45 > 0:59:48I love you no matter what.

0:59:48 > 0:59:50But you need to tell me.

0:59:50 > 0:59:52Tell you what?

0:59:52 > 0:59:53What are you asking me?

0:59:55 > 0:59:58Are you asking me if I killed my wife, Go?

0:59:58 > 1:00:00Is that what you're asking me? If I murdered my wife?

1:00:00 > 1:00:03I would never ask you that!

1:00:07 > 1:00:08Margo!

1:00:08 > 1:00:09DOOR SLAMS SHUT

1:00:09 > 1:00:10CLAMOURING CONTINUES

1:00:20 > 1:00:22Don't walk on the glass.

1:00:22 > 1:00:24GROANING Oh!

1:00:24 > 1:00:26You have no clue, do you?

1:00:27 > 1:00:28HE SIGHS

1:00:43 > 1:00:45Why was he here that night?

1:00:46 > 1:00:49His wife is missing. Why come here?

1:00:49 > 1:00:50- HE SIGHS - Who cares?

1:00:50 > 1:00:51Rhonda, we got this.

1:00:51 > 1:00:53Let's make the arrest.

1:00:53 > 1:00:56- Do you know how hard it is to make a murder case without a body?- No.

1:00:56 > 1:00:58Well, it's incredibly hard.

1:00:58 > 1:01:01So, I want one last thing.

1:01:01 > 1:01:02What's that?

1:01:03 > 1:01:05I want a body.

1:01:07 > 1:01:11Picture me, I'm a girl who's very, very bad.

1:01:11 > 1:01:12Be careful.

1:01:17 > 1:01:21I need to be punished, and by "punished," I mean "had."

1:01:25 > 1:01:26Fuck.

1:01:28 > 1:01:31It's where you keep goodies for anniversary five.

1:01:32 > 1:01:34So, open the door...

1:01:34 > 1:01:36Punish. Wood. Beach.

1:01:36 > 1:01:38..and look alive.

1:01:41 > 1:01:44Punish. Wood.

1:01:45 > 1:01:46Wood.

1:02:02 > 1:02:04INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS

1:02:11 > 1:02:12PANTING

1:02:17 > 1:02:20I will practise believing my husband loves me...

1:02:20 > 1:02:23..and will love this baby.

1:02:23 > 1:02:27That this child might really save our marriage.

1:02:27 > 1:02:28But I could be wrong.

1:02:34 > 1:02:37Because sometimes...

1:02:37 > 1:02:39..the way he looks at me...

1:02:40 > 1:02:42..I think...

1:02:42 > 1:02:43..man of my dreams...

1:02:45 > 1:02:47..father of my child...

1:02:47 > 1:02:51..this man of mine may kill me.

1:02:53 > 1:02:55He may truly...

1:02:55 > 1:02:56..kill me.

1:02:59 > 1:03:00WTF?

1:03:16 > 1:03:17HE SIGHS

1:03:24 > 1:03:26I am so much happier now that I'm dead.

1:03:31 > 1:03:34Technically, "missing."

1:03:34 > 1:03:36Soon to be presumed dead.

1:03:37 > 1:03:39Gone.

1:03:39 > 1:03:42And my lazy, lying, cheating, oblivious husband

1:03:42 > 1:03:45will go to prison for my murder.

1:03:46 > 1:03:49Nick Dunne took my pride and my dignity

1:03:49 > 1:03:51and my hope and my money.

1:03:51 > 1:03:55He took and took from me until I no longer existed.

1:03:55 > 1:03:56That's murder.

1:03:56 > 1:03:59Let the punishment fit the crime.

1:03:59 > 1:04:02To fake a convincing murder, you have to have discipline.

1:04:06 > 1:04:09You befriend a local idiot.

1:04:10 > 1:04:13INAUDIBLE

1:04:13 > 1:04:16Harvest the details of her humdrum life.

1:04:16 > 1:04:19And cram her with stories about your husband's violent temper.

1:04:20 > 1:04:23Secretly create some money troubles.

1:04:23 > 1:04:26Credit cards, perhaps online gambling.

1:04:28 > 1:04:31With the help of the unwitting...

1:04:31 > 1:04:33..bump up your life insurance.

1:04:34 > 1:04:37Purchase getaway car. Craigslist.

1:04:37 > 1:04:41Generic. Cheap. Pay cash.

1:04:41 > 1:04:44You need to package yourself so that people will

1:04:44 > 1:04:49truly mourn your loss. And America loves pregnant women.

1:04:49 > 1:04:51As if it's so hard to spread your legs.

1:04:51 > 1:04:53You know what's hard?

1:04:53 > 1:04:55Faking a pregnancy.

1:04:55 > 1:04:58First, drain your toilet.

1:04:58 > 1:04:59INAUDIBLE

1:04:59 > 1:05:01Invite pregnant idiot into your home

1:05:01 > 1:05:04and ply her with lemonade.

1:05:06 > 1:05:07INAUDIBLE

1:05:09 > 1:05:11Steal pregnant idiot's urine.

1:05:13 > 1:05:15Voila.

1:05:15 > 1:05:18A pregnancy is now part of your legal medical record.

1:05:25 > 1:05:26Happy anniversary.

1:05:28 > 1:05:31Wait for your clueless husband

1:05:31 > 1:05:33to start his day.

1:05:34 > 1:05:36Off he goes.

1:05:36 > 1:05:38And the clock is ticking.

1:05:39 > 1:05:42Meticulously stage your crime scene

1:05:42 > 1:05:46with just enough mistakes to raise the spectre of doubt.

1:05:47 > 1:05:49You need to bleed.

1:05:49 > 1:05:51A lot.

1:05:51 > 1:05:53A lot, a lot.

1:05:56 > 1:05:58A head-wound kind of bleed.

1:05:58 > 1:06:01A crime scene kind of bleed.

1:06:03 > 1:06:07You need to clean poorly... like he would.

1:06:07 > 1:06:10Clean and bleed. Bleed and clean.

1:06:10 > 1:06:13And leave a little something behind.

1:06:13 > 1:06:15A fire in July?

1:06:16 > 1:06:19And because you're you, you don't stop there.

1:06:19 > 1:06:21You need a diary.

1:06:21 > 1:06:25Minimum, 300 entries on the Nick and Amy story.

1:06:25 > 1:06:27Start with the fairy tale early days.

1:06:27 > 1:06:29Those are true. And they're crucial.

1:06:29 > 1:06:31You want Nick and Amy to be likeable.

1:06:31 > 1:06:35After that, you invent. The spending.

1:06:35 > 1:06:37The abuse. The fear.

1:06:37 > 1:06:40The threat of violence.

1:06:40 > 1:06:42And Nick thought he was the writer.

1:06:42 > 1:06:43Burn it just the right amount.

1:06:45 > 1:06:47Make sure the cops will find it.

1:06:52 > 1:06:55Finally, honour tradition with a very special treasure hunt.

1:06:57 > 1:07:00And if I get everything right, the world will hate Nick

1:07:00 > 1:07:02for killing his beautiful, pregnant wife.

1:07:02 > 1:07:05And after all the outrage, when I'm ready,

1:07:05 > 1:07:07I'll go out on the water with a handful of pills

1:07:07 > 1:07:09and a pocket full of stones.

1:07:09 > 1:07:12And when they find my body, they'll know...

1:07:12 > 1:07:15..Nick Dunne dumped his beloved like garbage.

1:07:15 > 1:07:18And she floated down past all the other

1:07:18 > 1:07:21abused, unwanted, inconvenient women.

1:07:22 > 1:07:25Then, Nick will die, too.

1:07:25 > 1:07:27Nick and Amy will be gone.

1:07:27 > 1:07:29But, then, we never really existed.

1:07:29 > 1:07:32Nick loved a girl I was pretending to be.

1:07:32 > 1:07:33"Cool Girl."

1:07:33 > 1:07:37Men always use that - don't they? - as their defining compliment.

1:07:37 > 1:07:38"She's a cool girl."

1:07:38 > 1:07:39SHE COUGHS

1:07:39 > 1:07:40Cool Girl is hot.

1:07:40 > 1:07:41Cool Girl is game.

1:07:41 > 1:07:43Cool Girl is fun.

1:07:43 > 1:07:45Cool Girl never gets angry at her man.

1:07:45 > 1:07:48She only smiles in a chagrined, loving manner...

1:07:48 > 1:07:51..and then presents her mouth for fucking.

1:07:51 > 1:07:53She likes what he likes.

1:07:53 > 1:07:57So evidently, he's a vinyl hipster who loves fetish manga.

1:07:58 > 1:08:01If he likes Girls Gone Wild, she's a mall babe...

1:08:01 > 1:08:05..who talks football and endures buffalo wings at Hooters.

1:08:05 > 1:08:08When I met Nick Dunne, I knew he wanted Cool Girl.

1:08:08 > 1:08:11And for him, I'll admit, I was willing to try.

1:08:11 > 1:08:13I wax-stripped my pussy raw.

1:08:13 > 1:08:16I drank canned beer watching Adam Sandler movies.

1:08:16 > 1:08:19I ate cold pizza and remained a size two.

1:08:19 > 1:08:21I blew him semi-regularly.

1:08:22 > 1:08:24I lived in the moment.

1:08:24 > 1:08:27I was fucking game.

1:08:27 > 1:08:30I can't say I didn't enjoy some of it.

1:08:30 > 1:08:33Nick teased out of me things I didn't know existed.

1:08:33 > 1:08:36A lightness, a humour, an ease.

1:08:36 > 1:08:39But I made him smarter. Sharper.

1:08:39 > 1:08:42I inspired him to rise to my level.

1:08:42 > 1:08:46I forged the man of my dreams.

1:08:48 > 1:08:51We were happy pretending to be other people.

1:08:51 > 1:08:53We were the happiest couple we knew.

1:08:54 > 1:08:58And what's the point of being together if you're not the happiest?

1:08:58 > 1:09:00But Nick got lazy.

1:09:00 > 1:09:02He became someone I did not agree to marry.

1:09:02 > 1:09:06He actually expected me to love him unconditionally.

1:09:06 > 1:09:10Then he dragged me, penniless, to the navel of this great country

1:09:10 > 1:09:15and found himself a newer, younger, bouncier

1:09:15 > 1:09:17Cool Girl.

1:09:17 > 1:09:22You think I'd let him destroy me and end up happier than ever?

1:09:22 > 1:09:24No fucking way.

1:09:24 > 1:09:26He doesn't get to win.

1:09:35 > 1:09:39My cute, charming, salt-of-the-earth, Missouri guy.

1:09:42 > 1:09:45He needed to learn.

1:09:45 > 1:09:48Grown-ups work for things.

1:09:48 > 1:09:50Grown-ups pay.

1:09:51 > 1:09:53Grown-ups suffer consequences.

1:09:57 > 1:09:58Wait.

1:09:58 > 1:10:01I need 20 seconds where you don't judge me, interrupt me,

1:10:01 > 1:10:02or get angry.

1:10:04 > 1:10:05OK.

1:10:09 > 1:10:11Is that all the stuff from the credit cards?

1:10:11 > 1:10:14Where do you store goodies for anniversary five?

1:10:14 > 1:10:16Wood. Woodshed.

1:10:16 > 1:10:18Yeah, MY woodshed.

1:10:18 > 1:10:20That fucking bitch.

1:10:22 > 1:10:23- I thought...- It's all right.

1:10:23 > 1:10:25I would have, too.

1:10:28 > 1:10:29What's that present?

1:10:29 > 1:10:31I don't know. HE SIGHS

1:10:31 > 1:10:33Let's find out.

1:10:39 > 1:10:41"Dear Husband.

1:10:41 > 1:10:43"I know you think you're moving through this world unseen.

1:10:43 > 1:10:44"Don't believe that for a second.

1:10:44 > 1:10:47"I know where you've been, and I know where you're going."

1:10:50 > 1:10:52"For this anniversary, I've arranged a trip.

1:10:52 > 1:10:54"Follow the river, up, up, up.

1:10:54 > 1:10:56"Sit back and relax, because you are done."

1:10:56 > 1:10:58What's "up, up river"?

1:10:58 > 1:11:00"Up the river." Prison.

1:11:00 > 1:11:02Fucking crazy bitch.

1:11:02 > 1:11:03That's what this is.

1:11:03 > 1:11:05She's framing me for her murder.

1:11:05 > 1:11:07You married a complete psychopath.

1:11:07 > 1:11:09The morning of our anniversary,

1:11:09 > 1:11:13I was going to ask her for a divorce. I just couldn't do it.

1:11:13 > 1:11:15I couldn't fake it for another year, another day.

1:11:15 > 1:11:18- Then what happened?- Before I could say anything, she said...

1:11:18 > 1:11:21"I need you to go somewhere and really think about our marriage."

1:11:21 > 1:11:22She knew I would go to Sawyer Beach.

1:11:22 > 1:11:26- So you'd have no alibi. - She stage-managed me.

1:11:26 > 1:11:29She knew exactly what I would do. And I fucking did it.

1:11:29 > 1:11:31I went to the beach, I thought about our marriage.

1:11:31 > 1:11:33I came back and decided I wanted a divorce.

1:11:33 > 1:11:34And by the time you got home...

1:11:34 > 1:11:36She was gone.

1:11:36 > 1:11:39- Oh, you fuck!- She's good.

1:11:39 > 1:11:41Part of me was relieved...

1:11:41 > 1:11:43..when I thought she was gone.

1:11:48 > 1:11:49Punch and Judy puppets.

1:11:52 > 1:11:55Remember, he beats Judy to death and kills that baby.

1:11:55 > 1:11:56So I'm Punch.

1:11:57 > 1:11:59We already knew that, Amy, what's your point?

1:12:00 > 1:12:03Does Missouri have the death penalty?

1:12:23 > 1:12:25HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO

1:12:29 > 1:12:31Hey, neighbour.

1:12:31 > 1:12:34It's been weeks since I had anyone decent next door.

1:12:34 > 1:12:36Well, I don't know how decent I feel.

1:12:36 > 1:12:38Well, as long as you don't own a python

1:12:38 > 1:12:39and blast death metal at 4am,

1:12:39 > 1:12:41we're going to be best friends.

1:12:41 > 1:12:43All right. Nice meeting you.

1:12:43 > 1:12:46I'm Greta.

1:12:46 > 1:12:47I'm Nancy.

1:12:47 > 1:12:49Are you going to the marina? I could use some creamer.

1:12:49 > 1:12:50Oh, I'm sorry. I can't.

1:12:50 > 1:12:52I've got work to do.

1:12:52 > 1:12:54All right. See you around!

1:12:54 > 1:12:56You will.

1:12:58 > 1:12:59INDISTINCT SHOUTING

1:13:40 > 1:13:45Come on. Show me that darling Nicky smile.

1:13:46 > 1:13:48You asshole.

1:14:00 > 1:14:01SHE LAUGHS

1:14:03 > 1:14:05Hey.

1:14:07 > 1:14:09Nancy.

1:14:11 > 1:14:14Nancy.

1:14:14 > 1:14:16- It's hot again today. - LAUGHS

1:14:18 > 1:14:20So, uh, where are you from?

1:14:20 > 1:14:22Let me guess.

1:14:24 > 1:14:25Nebraska.

1:14:32 > 1:14:34You know, I am an expert oiler.

1:14:34 > 1:14:36Oh, I just bet you are.

1:14:36 > 1:14:39Lotions and balms. Ointment.

1:14:39 > 1:14:41I would hate for y'all to get tan lines.

1:14:41 > 1:14:44So sweet.

1:14:44 > 1:14:47OK. You know where I'll be.

1:14:49 > 1:14:52I see we have the same taste in men.

1:14:53 > 1:14:56I clipped it on a bathroom cabinet.

1:14:56 > 1:14:58Least you could do is not keep his secrets for him.

1:14:59 > 1:15:01Let me guess.

1:15:01 > 1:15:05He's trying to watch the big game and you just won't shut up.

1:15:05 > 1:15:07No, you don't seem like much of a talker.

1:15:07 > 1:15:09Oh, I got it.

1:15:09 > 1:15:11You caught your boy rubbing up on some hot little skank

1:15:11 > 1:15:13and he apologised to you by busting you a good one.

1:15:15 > 1:15:16Worse.

1:15:16 > 1:15:18Worse?

1:15:18 > 1:15:22I went to the bar where he works to surprise him.

1:15:22 > 1:15:24And out he comes with this girl

1:15:24 > 1:15:26who had no business being in a bar.

1:15:29 > 1:15:31On the very first night that we met,

1:15:31 > 1:15:36we walked by a bakery that was having their sugar delivered.

1:15:36 > 1:15:38And it was in the air, everywhere.

1:15:38 > 1:15:40A sugar storm.

1:15:40 > 1:15:43And before he kissed me...

1:15:43 > 1:15:45..he leaned in...

1:15:46 > 1:15:48..and did this.

1:15:58 > 1:16:01- And guess what?- What?

1:16:01 > 1:16:02He did the exact same thing with her.

1:16:07 > 1:16:09That is the most disgusting thing I ever heard.

1:16:09 > 1:16:12Thank you.

1:16:12 > 1:16:13Wow.

1:16:26 > 1:16:27Thanks very much.

1:16:33 > 1:16:36Well, we've gone mainstream.

1:16:50 > 1:16:53It's an appeals process, so we will attempt to appeal to them.

1:16:53 > 1:16:56Mr Bolt. Tanner Bolt?

1:16:57 > 1:16:59Nick Dunne.

1:16:59 > 1:17:02I have been sitting by the phone, my friend.

1:17:02 > 1:17:04LAUGHING

1:17:04 > 1:17:05I'm sorry.

1:17:05 > 1:17:07Do you not believe me?

1:17:07 > 1:17:10No, I believe you. It's just the craziest thing I've ever heard.

1:17:10 > 1:17:14I love it. But, for you, it sucks.

1:17:14 > 1:17:16But you gotta have a grudging respect

1:17:16 > 1:17:18for your wife at this point, right?

1:17:18 > 1:17:19- Are you laughing me out of the building?- No!

1:17:19 > 1:17:21Are you kidding me? I'm in.

1:17:21 > 1:17:22I'm way in.

1:17:22 > 1:17:25You came to the right guy. This is what I do, Nick.

1:17:25 > 1:17:27This is why I have a 100,000 retainer.

1:17:27 > 1:17:28I win the unwinnable cases.

1:17:28 > 1:17:30100,000?

1:17:30 > 1:17:31We'll figure something out.

1:17:31 > 1:17:33I'll give you a special

1:17:33 > 1:17:35"my wife is skilled in the art of vengeance" rate.

1:17:35 > 1:17:38OK. So, what's the plan?

1:17:38 > 1:17:40Well, right now, it's a "he said, she said."

1:17:40 > 1:17:42- She's telling a better story. - No, Nick.

1:17:42 > 1:17:44She is telling the perfect story.

1:17:44 > 1:17:47We need to start today to prepare your defence, should we need it.

1:17:47 > 1:17:50- And if we decide to go with your version of...- The truth.

1:17:50 > 1:17:54Then we'll need to realign the public's perception of Amy.

1:17:54 > 1:17:56Make them stop seeing her as America's sweetheart

1:17:56 > 1:17:57and see her for what she is,

1:17:57 > 1:17:59which is a mind-fucker of the first degree.

1:17:59 > 1:18:01Now, that is a huge realignment.

1:18:01 > 1:18:03We'll need other voices besides yours.

1:18:03 > 1:18:05There has to be someone out there that she's screwed with in the past.

1:18:05 > 1:18:08There's a New York guy. O'Hara, Tommy O'Hara.

1:18:08 > 1:18:11Eight years ago, she pressed charges against him.

1:18:11 > 1:18:13That should be easy to find.

1:18:13 > 1:18:17Um, ex-classmate, Desi Collings.

1:18:17 > 1:18:19She said that he stalked her. He's in St Louis.

1:18:20 > 1:18:22You go talk to Tommy, and I'll draw up the contract.

1:18:26 > 1:18:29I told you, you came to the right guy.

1:18:31 > 1:18:32Apparently.

1:18:41 > 1:18:43Tommy?

1:18:43 > 1:18:44Yeah.

1:18:44 > 1:18:46- Thanks for seeing me. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1:18:49 > 1:18:51Um, you're going to want a drink.

1:18:51 > 1:18:53Yeah.

1:18:53 > 1:18:55So, she said you got physical with her.

1:18:55 > 1:18:58No, dude, she said I raped her.

1:18:58 > 1:19:01First degree, felony rape.

1:19:01 > 1:19:03- Did you do it?- Did YOU do it?

1:19:03 > 1:19:07- Yeah.- I was looking at 30 years to life.

1:19:07 > 1:19:08- Did you get a trial?- Fuck, no.

1:19:08 > 1:19:10Do I look like I would do well in the yard?

1:19:10 > 1:19:14I pled down, man. Sexual assault one, no jail time.

1:19:14 > 1:19:15- That's something.- Oh, yeah.

1:19:15 > 1:19:17I've been unemployed for the last eight years

1:19:17 > 1:19:19because I have to write "sexual offender" on every job application.

1:19:19 > 1:19:20I'm on a neighbourhood watch list

1:19:20 > 1:19:22because I have to register as a predator.

1:19:22 > 1:19:24I haven't had a date in almost a decade...

1:19:24 > 1:19:26because if a girl googles me...

1:19:26 > 1:19:27HE SIGHS

1:19:27 > 1:19:29Could you walk me through what happened?

1:19:29 > 1:19:32I meet Amy at this party, you know?

1:19:32 > 1:19:34We click. She's perfect.

1:19:34 > 1:19:36She's beautiful, she's smart, she's well-read,

1:19:36 > 1:19:38she's got an ass like a 20-year-old stripper.

1:19:38 > 1:19:40I think, "What's the catch?"

1:19:40 > 1:19:44A few months, it hits me. This is not going to be easy.

1:19:44 > 1:19:47Girls like a fixer-upper, but Amy?

1:19:47 > 1:19:50She annexed me. She made me her business.

1:19:50 > 1:19:54It was just too much. She went out and bought me ties.

1:19:54 > 1:19:56And we must have gone 20 rounds over that.

1:19:56 > 1:19:59Ties. The whole thing just became...

1:19:59 > 1:20:02- So, you broke up with her. - No, I just backed away.

1:20:02 > 1:20:05Gave her some space. No big deal, right?

1:20:05 > 1:20:07So I thought.

1:20:07 > 1:20:09Then one night, Amy comes over to my place

1:20:09 > 1:20:12with a bottle of bourbon and a bootleg of this band I love.

1:20:12 > 1:20:15And within two minutes, she's got my pants around my ankles

1:20:15 > 1:20:16and she is kneeling down, and...

1:20:16 > 1:20:18I'm sorry. I know it's your wife.

1:20:18 > 1:20:20- You had sex?- Yeah, consensual.

1:20:20 > 1:20:22It was rough, but she was screaming for it.

1:20:22 > 1:20:25Next morning, there's two cops at my door.

1:20:25 > 1:20:28Amy has wounds that are consistent with rape.

1:20:28 > 1:20:31Ligature marks on her wrist, and my semen.

1:20:31 > 1:20:34It looks like I've tied Amy to my bed, and raped her.

1:20:34 > 1:20:36Me!

1:20:36 > 1:20:38And then, guess what they find?

1:20:38 > 1:20:40Headboards of my bed, one on each side.

1:20:40 > 1:20:41The ties you wouldn't wear.

1:20:41 > 1:20:43You do know your wife.

1:20:43 > 1:20:45- Did you ever see her again?- Yeah.

1:20:45 > 1:20:47On TV, last week, with you.

1:20:47 > 1:20:48I thought, "There's Amy.

1:20:48 > 1:20:52"She's graduated from being raped to being murdered."

1:20:54 > 1:20:55Mmm!

1:20:56 > 1:20:57You been watching this, too?

1:20:57 > 1:20:58Last night's bombshell.

1:20:58 > 1:20:59We just found out...

1:20:59 > 1:21:02Amy Elliott Dunne was indeed pregnant when she went missing.

1:21:02 > 1:21:05Kelly Capitono, this makes me want to throw up.

1:21:05 > 1:21:07What is it about a pregnant woman -

1:21:07 > 1:21:08a woman carrying life inside her -

1:21:08 > 1:21:10that turns men into animals?

1:21:10 > 1:21:11Ellen, this is an epidemic.

1:21:11 > 1:21:14The third leading cause of death among pregnant women

1:21:14 > 1:21:16is homicide committed by a boyfriend or husband.

1:21:16 > 1:21:19Let's not forget about the wife, ever.

1:21:19 > 1:21:23Tonight, we welcome Amy's best friend, Noelle Hawthorne.

1:21:23 > 1:21:25Thanks for being on the show, Noelle.

1:21:25 > 1:21:26Thank you, Ellen.

1:21:26 > 1:21:28And let me just say this...

1:21:28 > 1:21:31Amy would have loved you, and all you do for women.

1:21:31 > 1:21:32Oh, that's nice.

1:21:32 > 1:21:34Why don't you tell us about your friend, Noelle?

1:21:34 > 1:21:37Amy was so nurturing.

1:21:37 > 1:21:39Oh, I'd love if just once, someone was like,

1:21:39 > 1:21:40"She was a real rag."

1:21:42 > 1:21:43SHE LAUGHS

1:21:43 > 1:21:45She was beautiful and smart and kind.

1:21:45 > 1:21:47Seems like a rich bitch to me.

1:21:47 > 1:21:50What do you mean? People love her.

1:21:50 > 1:21:52I don't know. She seems uppity.

1:21:54 > 1:21:56Spoiled rich girl, married a cheating asshole.

1:21:56 > 1:21:57Paid the ultimate price.

1:21:57 > 1:22:00The only secret was her husband.

1:22:00 > 1:22:02We never met Nick. He never introduced himself.

1:22:02 > 1:22:05Why was that, Noelle? Why do you think?

1:22:05 > 1:22:06I think we know why.

1:22:06 > 1:22:09Because he had a violent temper.

1:22:09 > 1:22:11- A little harsh. - That's life, baby.

1:22:11 > 1:22:14He knew I'd have seen right through him.

1:22:14 > 1:22:15Don't get me wrong.

1:22:15 > 1:22:17I'm not saying it's OK he killed her.

1:22:17 > 1:22:20I'm just saying, there are consequences.

1:22:22 > 1:22:25- Fuck, yeah. - She was so alone.

1:22:25 > 1:22:27And she was so innocent.

1:22:27 > 1:22:31You're a good friend, Noelle. And you're a good friend of the show.

1:22:31 > 1:22:32- Thanks for coming on. - PHONE RINGS

1:22:32 > 1:22:33Please tell me you landed Tanner Bolt.

1:22:39 > 1:22:41And, Go...

1:22:41 > 1:22:44..Tanner's retainer is 100,000.

1:22:44 > 1:22:46That's just the retainer.

1:22:46 > 1:22:49Listen, I've got 47,000 in savings. I've got 2,500 in an IRA.

1:22:49 > 1:22:52I'm approved for a second mortgage on the house. We will go from there.

1:22:52 > 1:22:54Thank you.

1:22:54 > 1:22:56- I love you. - I love you, too.

1:22:56 > 1:22:59Nick keeps his father, who has Alzheimer's, in a facility.

1:22:59 > 1:23:01Number of times he visited last year? One.

1:23:01 > 1:23:02Oh, fuck!

1:23:02 > 1:23:05His twin sister, Margo, well, she is a peach.

1:23:05 > 1:23:08These two spend their days in the bar Amy bought them.

1:23:08 > 1:23:10Playing what, Lauren? Playing house?

1:23:10 > 1:23:11What the fuck?

1:23:11 > 1:23:14Twin siblings often enable and abet.

1:23:14 > 1:23:16While I never examined Nick or his sister,

1:23:16 > 1:23:19they both seem very, very close.

1:23:19 > 1:23:20It's twin-cest.

1:23:20 > 1:23:23Disturbingly close, Lauren.

1:23:23 > 1:23:25And so, we close with a question.

1:23:25 > 1:23:26What kind of moral rot

1:23:26 > 1:23:31allows a beautiful, talented, kind, smart, loving mother

1:23:31 > 1:23:35to vanish without the heavens hearing our outraged cries?

1:23:35 > 1:23:36- Can I bum a cigarette?- Yeah.

1:23:36 > 1:23:40Amy Elliott Dunne, we care about you, and we will not forget.

1:23:40 > 1:23:42And you know what else we won't forget?

1:25:05 > 1:25:08I know you. I saw you at the volunteer centre.

1:25:08 > 1:25:10I wanted to help.

1:25:10 > 1:25:12Well, I hope you don't mind me coming by.

1:25:12 > 1:25:16I got your address from this letter that you wrote my wife.

1:25:16 > 1:25:19Amy and I believe in the lost art of letter-writing.

1:25:19 > 1:25:24I always wondered why you kept in touch after...

1:25:24 > 1:25:25..everything.

1:25:25 > 1:25:27You were together for two years in boarding school, right?

1:25:27 > 1:25:29She was my first serious girlfriend.

1:25:29 > 1:25:31Why did you break up?

1:25:31 > 1:25:32That's a strange question.

1:25:32 > 1:25:34Did you treat her bad? Did you cheat on her?

1:25:34 > 1:25:35That's a rude question.

1:25:35 > 1:25:37Let me tell you what Amy told me.

1:25:37 > 1:25:40She dumped you, you completely unravelled.

1:25:40 > 1:25:42You stalked her, you threatened her...

1:25:42 > 1:25:45..and you attempted suicide in her bed and were institutionalised.

1:25:45 > 1:25:49Your wife is missing, and you came all this way to tell me this?

1:25:49 > 1:25:51I thought there might be another side to this story.

1:26:36 > 1:26:38"He's going to kill me." The end.

1:26:38 > 1:26:40Why did he go to his dad's house to burn it?

1:26:40 > 1:26:41It's private. There's no-one there.

1:26:41 > 1:26:43Why didn't he make sure it actually burned?

1:26:43 > 1:26:46Because he tripped the alarm. You were up his ass with a flashlight.

1:26:46 > 1:26:49- SHE GROANS - The whole thing just feels hinky.

1:26:49 > 1:26:51Like finding an envelope marked "Clue."

1:26:52 > 1:26:54"The simplest answer is often the correct one"?

1:26:54 > 1:26:56Actually, I've never found that to be true.

1:27:26 > 1:27:28Blood in the house, credit cards, life insurance.

1:27:28 > 1:27:29She does the treasure hunt.

1:27:29 > 1:27:31Now, the treasure hunt is critical.

1:27:31 > 1:27:33She's taking us on a tour of my infidelities.

1:27:33 > 1:27:34Rubbing my nose in it.

1:27:34 > 1:27:36And she leaves clue number one for the police,

1:27:40 > 1:27:43- And she leaves a pair of red panties.- Right. Racy, looks bad.

1:27:43 > 1:27:44- Clue two.- My father's house.

1:27:47 > 1:27:48- Clue three?- Woodshed.

1:27:48 > 1:27:50- Also a location...- Oh, my God.

1:27:50 > 1:27:51- We had limited options.- A hotel.

1:27:51 > 1:27:53Amy would have seen the credit-card bill.

1:27:53 > 1:27:54Put it on Andie's credit card.

1:27:54 > 1:27:55Andie's statement went right to her parents.

1:27:55 > 1:27:58- Ew.- Nick, Margo, can we head over to the little brown house?

1:28:02 > 1:28:05After the divorce, when Dad wasn't coming around,

1:28:05 > 1:28:10I used to pretend that he was a spy named Mr Brown, who...

1:28:10 > 1:28:13..for the sake of his children's safety, had to deny their existence.

1:28:13 > 1:28:15You never told me that.

1:28:15 > 1:28:17You told HER that?

1:28:17 > 1:28:19We've got incriminating red panties in your office.

1:28:19 > 1:28:21We've got a Showcase Showdown worth of crap in your woodshed.

1:28:22 > 1:28:26So, what in God's name is at your father's house, Nick?

1:28:26 > 1:28:29- And be honest. - I honestly have no idea.

1:28:34 > 1:28:35Well...

1:28:35 > 1:28:39Whatever they found, I think it's safe to assume that it's very bad.

1:28:41 > 1:28:43We got a lot of uncontained issues here.

1:28:43 > 1:28:46Nick, do you have any idea as to what Andie's mind-set is?

1:28:46 > 1:28:49Well, we haven't communicated since the vigil.

1:28:49 > 1:28:50OK. Amy's parents?

1:28:50 > 1:28:52- No, it's...- More pressure.

1:28:52 > 1:28:53We got a hurt, young girlfriend

1:28:53 > 1:28:55who will no doubt go public at any moment.

1:28:55 > 1:28:56- No, Andie won't do that.- She will.

1:28:56 > 1:28:59They always do. Don't take it personally.

1:28:59 > 1:29:01Amy's got us in an interesting bind.

1:29:01 > 1:29:03- We need to tell the cops about Andie.- Really?

1:29:03 > 1:29:06Right now, Andie just gives you another motive.

1:29:06 > 1:29:08We need to tell the cops about the woodshed.

1:29:08 > 1:29:09We need to be on the front end of that.

1:29:09 > 1:29:12But I'm going to warn you as to what will happen.

1:29:12 > 1:29:14- They'll go after Margo. - They can't do that, can they?

1:29:14 > 1:29:16She's your accomplice. She helped you hide the evidence.

1:29:16 > 1:29:19In all likelihood, she knows that you killed Amy.

1:29:19 > 1:29:20Oh, God.

1:29:20 > 1:29:22Well, what are we going to do?

1:29:22 > 1:29:24- We find Amy. - MARGO SIGHS

1:29:24 > 1:29:26No. Any other strategy is missing the point.

1:29:26 > 1:29:28I've got two ex-Secret Service guys that are really good.

1:29:28 > 1:29:30I'll put them on it.

1:29:30 > 1:29:31But where do they start, Nick?

1:29:31 > 1:29:33Where would Amy go?

1:29:35 > 1:29:36I have no idea.

1:29:39 > 1:29:41Oh!

1:29:41 > 1:29:44Are we keeping score?

1:29:44 > 1:29:45Hey!

1:29:47 > 1:29:50I thought we were steering clear of men for a while.

1:29:50 > 1:29:51He's nice.

1:29:51 > 1:29:53Because he wants to fuck you.

1:29:55 > 1:29:56She's still moping about her ex?

1:29:58 > 1:30:00He got cheated on, too.

1:30:04 > 1:30:06We three are the saddest sacks in all the Ozarks.

1:30:06 > 1:30:08I'm not sad.

1:30:08 > 1:30:11- I'm angry.- There you go.

1:30:11 > 1:30:14I almost drank myself to death when my wife left me.

1:30:14 > 1:30:16I was going to kill myself. Can you believe that?

1:30:16 > 1:30:17Don't give him the pleasure.

1:30:17 > 1:30:20I was going to drown myself in the Gulf of Mexico -

1:30:20 > 1:30:22let myself be dinner for the great whites.

1:30:22 > 1:30:24Gulf is bull sharks, Miss Nawlins.

1:30:24 > 1:30:28Why should I die? I'm not the asshole.

1:30:28 > 1:30:30LAUGHING: Please put that on a T-shirt.

1:30:32 > 1:30:34SHE EXCLAIMS Oh!

1:30:39 > 1:30:41Miss Moneybags. I thought you said you were broke.

1:30:42 > 1:30:44That's a fat wad.

1:30:45 > 1:30:47It's mostly singles.

1:30:47 > 1:30:50Singles? What are you, a stripper?

1:30:50 > 1:30:52Swamp Girls, or Treasure Chest?

1:30:53 > 1:30:55We're just teasing.

1:30:55 > 1:30:57Don't they tease people down in NOLA?

1:30:59 > 1:31:02We can expect Nick Dunne's arrest any day now.

1:31:02 > 1:31:05We've got blood in the house, huge debt, an unwanted pregnancy.

1:31:05 > 1:31:09And we have Amy Elliott Dunne, missing for five days,

1:31:09 > 1:31:12- crying out for justice. - LOCK CLICKS

1:32:06 > 1:32:09- Yeah?- You're doing Sharon Schieber tomorrow in St Louis.

1:32:09 > 1:32:11- It could go so wrong.- And you are going to tell her about Andie.

1:32:11 > 1:32:13- Nope.- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

1:32:13 > 1:32:15That sounds like a very bad idea.

1:32:15 > 1:32:17You haven't heard from her in three days.

1:32:17 > 1:32:20This is a ticking time bomb. You've gotta throw yourself on it.

1:32:20 > 1:32:21People are going to hate me.

1:32:21 > 1:32:23And then, they will forgive you.

1:32:23 > 1:32:25A guy admitting that he's a gigantic asshole on television?

1:32:25 > 1:32:27People empathise with that.

1:32:28 > 1:32:30- Why don't we just put out a statement?- They need to see you.

1:32:30 > 1:32:33Sharon's specials, they get ten million viewers.

1:32:33 > 1:32:35She is a crusader. If she takes you on as a cause...

1:32:35 > 1:32:37She's going to ask real questions.

1:32:37 > 1:32:39I will drill you as if you were doing a deposition.

1:32:39 > 1:32:41What to say, what not to say.

1:32:45 > 1:32:48Nick, this case is about what people think of you.

1:33:34 > 1:33:36Yeah, you gotta clear everything out, here.

1:33:38 > 1:33:41Dorothy is a real stickler.

1:33:42 > 1:33:45Not even a spare hanger can you leave behind.

1:33:47 > 1:33:50Gotta make sure nothing's tucked inside.

1:34:12 > 1:34:13He talked you into this?

1:34:13 > 1:34:14I talked HIM into it.

1:34:14 > 1:34:17The second you leave, I'm calling the cops.

1:34:17 > 1:34:20Your glasses are fake. Your hair's dyed all hamster.

1:34:20 > 1:34:21You say your name's Nancy,

1:34:21 > 1:34:23but you don't even answer to it half the time.

1:34:23 > 1:34:26You're hiding. I don't know why, and I don't really care.

1:34:26 > 1:34:28But you ain't going to call the cops.

1:35:56 > 1:35:57I didn't kill my Wife.

1:35:58 > 1:36:00- What are you doing? - Every time you look smug

1:36:00 > 1:36:03or annoyed or tense, I'm going to hit you with a gummy bear.

1:36:03 > 1:36:05- That's supposed to make me less tense?- Let's try it again.

1:36:05 > 1:36:06Mr Dunne, from what I understand,

1:36:06 > 1:36:08you and your wife had some bumps.

1:36:09 > 1:36:12Yeah, we had some tough years. Um, I lost my job.

1:36:12 > 1:36:14You both did.

1:36:16 > 1:36:18We both lost our jobs.

1:36:18 > 1:36:21I had to move back home so we could take care of my mother

1:36:21 > 1:36:23who was dying of cancer and my dad, who had...

1:36:23 > 1:36:25Your dad's scorched earth.

1:36:25 > 1:36:28Let's talk about your mom, how close you were. Go on.

1:36:28 > 1:36:30For a while, things had been building up.

1:36:30 > 1:36:33"Built up" implies that an explosion is coming. No.

1:36:33 > 1:36:36At a certain point, we got on the wrong track.

1:36:36 > 1:36:38I had a moment of weakness.

1:36:38 > 1:36:40Your "moment" was over 15 months.

1:36:44 > 1:36:47I disrespected my wife.

1:36:47 > 1:36:49And I disrespected my marriage.

1:36:49 > 1:36:51And I'll always regret it.

1:36:51 > 1:36:52That works.

1:36:52 > 1:36:55Don't be afraid to play up the doofus husband thing, Nick.

1:36:55 > 1:36:57"I was an idiot. I'm a fuck-up. Everything I do is wrong."

1:36:57 > 1:36:59I know. What men are supposed to do in general.

1:37:01 > 1:37:02- Thank you.- How do you feel?

1:37:02 > 1:37:06I feel good. Go, can you pass me that box, please?

1:37:06 > 1:37:08It's Amy's 33rd birthday present to me.

1:37:08 > 1:37:11- You hate that watch. - No, Go. I love that watch.

1:37:11 > 1:37:13Just like I love this tie.

1:38:03 > 1:38:05So, I disappeared.

1:38:10 > 1:38:15- SOBBING - I'm so ashamed and I'm so afraid.

1:38:15 > 1:38:17Well, he is looking for you.

1:38:17 > 1:38:19He showed up on my doorstep three days ago.

1:38:19 > 1:38:21He tracked me from my letters to you.

1:38:22 > 1:38:24You saved them.

1:38:24 > 1:38:25Knowing you were out there

1:38:25 > 1:38:27was the only thing that's kept me going these past few years.

1:38:27 > 1:38:29Let's go to the police. You can explain everything.

1:38:29 > 1:38:30No, I can't turn up now.

1:38:30 > 1:38:33I'd be a pariah. Everyone would hate me.

1:38:35 > 1:38:37Is it wrong to want Nick to go prison?

1:38:37 > 1:38:39He should go to prison for what he's done.

1:38:48 > 1:38:49You know why.

1:38:49 > 1:38:50Excuse me.

1:38:50 > 1:38:51I know you, don't I?

1:38:51 > 1:38:54- No.- You're one of the Nolan girls, right?

1:38:54 > 1:38:57- No, we're from Winnipeg. Excuse us.- Oh.

1:38:57 > 1:38:58We should leave.

1:39:06 > 1:39:08Hope this is worth my while.

1:39:10 > 1:39:12Ms Schieber. Thank you so much for doing this.

1:39:12 > 1:39:14Can I get you anything to drink or eat before we get started?

1:39:14 > 1:39:16No, I had some gummy bears.

1:39:17 > 1:39:19What the fuck?

1:39:20 > 1:39:21I'm sorry?

1:39:21 > 1:39:25We have a major shocking development in the Amazing Amy disappearance.

1:39:25 > 1:39:26We go live to that story now.

1:39:26 > 1:39:28Oh, my God.

1:39:30 > 1:39:31You little slut.

1:39:31 > 1:39:34My name is Andie Fitzgerald.

1:39:35 > 1:39:37I met Nicholas Dunne

1:39:37 > 1:39:40when he was my creative writing teacher at Mill Valley.

1:39:40 > 1:39:42Why is she dressed like a baby-sitter?

1:39:42 > 1:39:44I am deeply ashamed...

1:39:44 > 1:39:47..of having been romantically involved with a married man.

1:39:47 > 1:39:49The girl with the giant come-on-me tits.

1:39:49 > 1:39:51I truly believed we were in love.

1:39:51 > 1:39:53Now, she looks like a fucking Mennonite.

1:39:54 > 1:39:55I know that is no excuse.

1:39:55 > 1:39:57No, it is not.

1:39:57 > 1:40:01I do not, in my heart, believe Nick Dunne would have killed for me.

1:40:01 > 1:40:03My prayers go out to everyone who loves Amy.

1:40:03 > 1:40:06I apologise for the pain this has caused them.

1:40:11 > 1:40:14We have loved Nick Dunne like a son.

1:40:14 > 1:40:15That love ended today.

1:40:15 > 1:40:17Come on, you're staring at ghosts.

1:40:17 > 1:40:20He met our trust with lie after lie.

1:40:20 > 1:40:22We now absolutely believe

1:40:22 > 1:40:24Nick is involved in the disappearance of our daughter.

1:40:24 > 1:40:27Our Amazing Amy.

1:40:27 > 1:40:30Well, this just got very exciting.

1:40:30 > 1:40:31We need a moment.

1:40:33 > 1:40:35We're going to have to bow out of this.

1:40:35 > 1:40:37- Nothing has changed. - Everything has changed.

1:40:37 > 1:40:39An hour ago, we were ahead of this. Now?

1:40:39 > 1:40:41- I can handle this. - We're on the defence.

1:40:41 > 1:40:43This is a completely different dynamic.

1:40:43 > 1:40:44I can handle it.

1:40:44 > 1:40:46She's going to eat you alive.

1:40:46 > 1:40:48Just trust me.

1:40:52 > 1:40:53OK.

1:46:17 > 1:46:19A husband breaks his silence -

1:46:19 > 1:46:21not just on his wife's disappearance,

1:46:27 > 1:46:29Nick Dunne,

1:46:29 > 1:46:32you're probably the most hated man in America right now.

1:46:32 > 1:46:35I probably am. And I probably deserve it.

1:46:35 > 1:46:36I bought that tie.

1:46:36 > 1:46:38Did you kill your wife, Nick?

1:46:38 > 1:46:42I did not kill my wife.

1:46:42 > 1:46:43I am not a murderer.

1:46:43 > 1:46:45But you were unfaithful.

1:46:45 > 1:46:47I was unfaithful.

1:46:47 > 1:46:49And I am deeply ashamed.

1:46:49 > 1:46:51And, on top of that, you allowed Amy's parents,

1:46:51 > 1:46:54her friends, all the people in your hometown,

1:46:54 > 1:46:57believe you were a loving husband,

1:46:57 > 1:46:59desperate to find his missing wife.

1:46:59 > 1:47:01Well, I am desperate to find my missing wife.

1:47:01 > 1:47:02You say that, but I'm wondering

1:47:02 > 1:47:06how you expect us to believe you now that we know you're a liar.

1:47:06 > 1:47:09I didn't come forward with my affair,

1:47:09 > 1:47:12because I knew it would make me look really, really bad.

1:47:12 > 1:47:16But I don't care about that any more. I just want to find my wife.

1:47:16 > 1:47:17I'm just trying to get clear...

1:47:17 > 1:47:18Let me be clear.

1:47:18 > 1:47:23Just because I am not a murderer doesn't make me a good guy.

1:47:23 > 1:47:24I'm not a good guy.

1:47:24 > 1:47:27I was a bad husband to a great wife.

1:47:27 > 1:47:29I broke the vow that I made to her.

1:47:29 > 1:47:31Those are pretty words, Nick.

1:47:31 > 1:47:33But what does that really mean to you?

1:47:33 > 1:47:36It basically means that I was a con artist.

1:47:36 > 1:47:39I met Amy Elliott seven years ago.

1:47:39 > 1:47:41I was completely transfixed.

1:47:41 > 1:47:43Amy can do that to you.

1:47:43 > 1:47:45I was this average guy from an average place,

1:47:45 > 1:47:47with mediocre aspirations.

1:47:47 > 1:47:50And I met a woman who dazzled me.

1:47:50 > 1:47:52And I wanted her to love me,

1:47:52 > 1:47:55so I pretended to be better than I was.

1:47:55 > 1:47:58When we got married, I promised to be that guy.

1:47:58 > 1:48:00That guy who works harder.

1:48:00 > 1:48:02That guy who...who lives and acts

1:48:23 > 1:48:26Will you look in the lens...

1:48:26 > 1:48:28..and talk to your wife?

1:48:28 > 1:48:31If she is out there, able to hear and see you tonight,

1:48:31 > 1:48:33what would you like to say to her, Nick?

1:48:37 > 1:48:40Amy, I love you.

1:48:40 > 1:48:42You're the best person I've ever known.

2:01:27 > 2:01:30- We'll make sure it's a match. - Yeah, it'll match.

2:01:30 > 2:01:33Thank you very much.

2:01:33 > 2:01:34What do you think?

2:01:34 > 2:01:35Are we pals again?

2:01:35 > 2:01:39Now that I know you didn't murder your wife, yes.

2:01:39 > 2:01:40What do you think?

2:01:40 > 2:01:43Kidnapping? The story's insane.

2:01:45 > 2:01:47She's on fairly heavy painkillers.

2:01:47 > 2:01:49It's OK. I want to help.

2:01:49 > 2:01:51Ms Dunne, I know what you've been through,

2:01:51 > 2:01:53so we'll keep this very brief.

2:01:53 > 2:01:55Can you walk us through what happened?

2:01:57 > 2:02:01That morning, the doorbell rang.

2:02:01 > 2:02:03So normal.

2:02:03 > 2:02:05I opened the door.

2:02:05 > 2:02:07So strange.

2:02:07 > 2:02:11Since high school, he won't ever go away.

2:02:11 > 2:02:14And I've just tried to be nice to him.

2:02:14 > 2:02:16Answer his letters.

2:02:16 > 2:02:18Keep him calm.

2:02:19 > 2:02:21Oh, my God.

2:02:21 > 2:02:23Oh, I've encouraged him.

2:02:23 > 2:02:24You can't blame yourself.

2:02:26 > 2:02:28He pushed inside.

2:02:30 > 2:02:32And he grabbed me.

2:02:32 > 2:02:35But I got away, and ran to the kitchen.

2:02:35 > 2:02:38And he clubbed me.

2:02:38 > 2:02:39I collapsed.

2:02:39 > 2:02:43That club was actually the handle to a Punch and Judy puppet.

2:02:43 > 2:02:45Right.

2:02:45 > 2:02:46Treasure hunt. I, er...

2:02:48 > 2:02:50I'd hidden some puppets at Go's...

2:02:50 > 2:02:52Then how did Desi have that handle?

2:02:54 > 2:02:56I'd just found it.

2:02:56 > 2:02:59It must have fallen off.

2:02:59 > 2:03:00I...

2:03:00 > 2:03:04..was holding it when Desi pushed in. So, he got it from me.

2:03:04 > 2:03:05About that woodshed...

2:03:05 > 2:03:07He took me to his lake house.

2:03:07 > 2:03:09Tied me to his bed.

2:03:09 > 2:03:12Back to the woodshed real quick. Real quick.

2:03:12 > 2:03:13When you went to place the puppets there,

2:03:13 > 2:03:15did you notice that it was packed...

2:03:15 > 2:03:16Lots of stuff.

2:03:16 > 2:03:18Corresponding to purchases made

2:03:18 > 2:03:20on credit cards in your husband's name.

2:03:20 > 2:03:22Nick and credit cards.

2:03:22 > 2:03:24He buys, I nag. I don't know, probably.

2:03:24 > 2:03:27He hid a lot of stuff at Go's. They're very close.

2:03:27 > 2:03:31Now, may I go back to where I was being held prisoner

2:03:31 > 2:03:34by a man with a history of mental problems?

2:03:34 > 2:03:36Please continue, Ms Dunne.

2:03:39 > 2:03:42Desi assaulted me that night.

2:03:42 > 2:03:44Every night.

2:03:45 > 2:03:47He tied me up like a dog.

2:03:49 > 2:03:51And then, he'd punish me.

2:03:53 > 2:03:55Starve me.

2:03:56 > 2:03:58Shave me.

2:04:00 > 2:04:02Sodomise me.

2:04:02 > 2:04:04There were cameras everywhere.

2:04:04 > 2:04:07Please find this. Please find the tapes.

2:04:08 > 2:04:12She slit his throat with a box cutter.

2:04:13 > 2:04:15How did she manage to get a hold of a box cutter

2:04:15 > 2:04:18if he had her tied up the whole time?

2:04:18 > 2:04:21Can't you just be happy your wife is home and safe?

2:04:21 > 2:04:23Amy, we found your diary.

2:04:23 > 2:04:25It contains many concerning allegations

2:04:25 > 2:04:27of mental and physical abuse.

2:04:27 > 2:04:30Well, it's the ugly truth.

2:04:30 > 2:04:32Nick didn't want a baby.

2:04:34 > 2:04:38He has a temper. We had money problems.

2:04:38 > 2:04:39But I love him.

2:04:39 > 2:04:40Then why did you try to buy a gun?

2:04:42 > 2:04:44I'm sorry, I feel myself fading.

2:04:44 > 2:04:46If I could just clarify one thing...

2:04:46 > 2:04:49If this case had been left in your deeply incompetent hands,

2:04:49 > 2:04:51my husband would be on death row,

2:04:51 > 2:04:55and I'd be tied, still, spread-eagle...

2:04:55 > 2:04:59Ms Dunne, you've been very brave. We're finished.

2:04:59 > 2:05:02Now, I have to ask you,

2:05:02 > 2:05:04do you feel safe going home with your husband?

2:05:16 > 2:05:19We prayed to God, and God has answered our prayers.

2:05:19 > 2:05:20Amy Dunne is home.

2:05:20 > 2:05:22Now, I know there are a lot of questions and concerns,

2:05:22 > 2:05:24but for right now, we want to sit tight

2:05:24 > 2:05:26and just be thankful and grateful

2:05:26 > 2:05:30for this miracle on the Mississippi.

2:06:35 > 2:06:37I'm not pretending.

2:06:37 > 2:06:39You were perfect.

2:06:39 > 2:06:42The Nick I saw on TV, that's the Nick I fell in love with.

2:06:42 > 2:06:44You do know I was just telling you what you wanted to hear, right?

2:06:44 > 2:06:46That's how well you know me.

2:06:46 > 2:06:49You know me in your marrow.

2:06:50 > 2:06:51OK.

2:06:51 > 2:06:55You need to tell me exactly what happened.

2:06:56 > 2:06:57Take off your clothes.

2:06:57 > 2:07:01I need to make sure you're not wearing a wire.

2:07:13 > 2:07:17You killed someone, Amy. You're a murderer.

2:07:17 > 2:07:19I'm a fighter.

2:07:19 > 2:07:21I fought my way back to you.

2:07:21 > 2:07:23You killed a guy.

2:07:23 > 2:07:25You slashed his throat with a box cutter.

2:07:25 > 2:07:30You went on national television and begged for me to save your life.

2:07:30 > 2:07:31And I obliged.

2:07:31 > 2:07:33But I want THAT Nick.

2:07:33 > 2:07:34I'm leaving.

2:07:34 > 2:07:37You really think that's smart?

2:07:37 > 2:07:38Shampoo.

2:07:41 > 2:07:45Wounded, raped wife battles her way back to her husband,

2:07:45 > 2:07:47and he deserts her.

2:07:47 > 2:07:48They'll destroy you.

2:07:48 > 2:07:50Neighbours will shun you.

2:07:50 > 2:07:54And I'll make sure that no-one forgets the pain you caused me.

2:07:56 > 2:08:01I don't want anything to do with your groupies outside.

2:08:01 > 2:08:03Once they go...

2:08:03 > 2:08:05..I go.

2:08:05 > 2:08:08Give it the night. Sleep on it.

2:08:24 > 2:08:26Was there ever a baby?

2:08:26 > 2:08:28There can be.

2:09:37 > 2:09:38Hello, handsome.

2:09:41 > 2:09:43Crepe?

2:09:43 > 2:09:45Sure.

2:09:45 > 2:09:46She was his dream girl.

2:09:46 > 2:09:47And when this spoiled, rich,

2:09:47 > 2:09:51entitled little boy couldn't have her, he took her.

2:09:58 > 2:09:59You must be so proud.

2:10:06 > 2:10:08It's been four hours.

2:10:08 > 2:10:11Nick? Nick? What's next for you and Amy?

2:10:15 > 2:10:18Right now, it's all about our marriage.

2:10:18 > 2:10:22When two people love each other and can't make that work,

2:10:22 > 2:10:24that's the real tragedy.

2:10:28 > 2:10:30- QUIETLY:- Kiss my cheek.

2:10:36 > 2:10:38I can't believe that fucking spider is America's sweetheart.

2:10:38 > 2:10:41She told me she killed Desi.

2:10:41 > 2:10:42Not self-defence. Murder.

2:10:42 > 2:10:43- Can't we get a wire? - That's not going to work.

2:10:43 > 2:10:45She told you once before.

2:10:45 > 2:10:47Yeah, because she had me strip naked, and stand in the shower.

2:10:47 > 2:10:50I swear, you two are the most fucked-up people I've ever known.

2:10:50 > 2:10:52And I specialise in fucked-up.

2:10:52 > 2:10:53You and Amy under the same roof?

2:10:53 > 2:10:56You should pitch that as reality television.

2:10:56 > 2:10:58TV: Amy Dunne, and the Miracle on the Mississippi.

2:10:58 > 2:11:01Nick and I have been through some bad patches.

2:11:01 > 2:11:02We've had our dark days.

2:11:02 > 2:11:04But we thank you so much

2:11:04 > 2:11:09for supporting us in our new life together, for forgiving Nick.

2:11:09 > 2:11:12Really, your encouragement means the world.

2:11:12 > 2:11:14Oh, she's good.

2:11:14 > 2:11:16Amazing Amy and the Humbled Husband.

2:11:16 > 2:11:19The Real Housewives of Branson. Take care of this guy, will you?

2:11:19 > 2:11:21I can't believe you're just leaving now.

2:11:21 > 2:11:22You are not at risk any more.

2:11:22 > 2:11:24I'm the definition of "at risk."

2:11:24 > 2:11:28You got a book deal, a Lifetime movie, you franchised The Bar.

2:11:28 > 2:11:29You may want to thank her.

2:11:32 > 2:11:34Just don't piss her off.

2:11:34 > 2:11:35See you, guys.

2:11:37 > 2:11:39Elvis has left Missouri.

2:11:39 > 2:11:40She had to have made a mistake.

2:11:40 > 2:11:42We need to check Amy's story, piece by piece.

2:11:42 > 2:11:44Nick, I can't do anything.

2:11:44 > 2:11:47We had the national spotlight on us, we stained the rug.

2:11:47 > 2:11:49The case is with the Feds now, they're done.

2:11:49 > 2:11:52- That doesn't mean you have to be done.- It does.

2:12:22 > 2:12:24- What are you doing? - HE GASPS

2:12:25 > 2:12:27Couldn't sleep.

2:12:27 > 2:12:28Come on,

2:12:28 > 2:12:30let me tuck you back in.

2:12:42 > 2:12:45You know you can sleep with me, right?

2:12:47 > 2:12:49Yeah, it's just...

2:12:49 > 2:12:50..I need more time.

2:12:50 > 2:12:54I would never, ever hurt you.

2:12:56 > 2:12:58I do need you to participate, though.

2:12:58 > 2:13:00I need you to do your part.

2:13:10 > 2:13:12WATER RUNNING OK.

2:13:12 > 2:13:14Everything you have heard about my wife...

2:13:14 > 2:13:16..is a lie.

2:13:16 > 2:13:20She is a calculating, murderous psychopath.

2:13:20 > 2:13:22And I have been complicit...

2:13:22 > 2:13:23Nick!

2:13:28 > 2:13:30Nick? Breakfast.

2:13:30 > 2:13:31Honey?

2:13:35 > 2:13:37We should hold hands.

2:13:37 > 2:13:40Not the entire time, but on and off throughout.

2:13:41 > 2:13:44"So, Nick, how does it feel to have your wife back?"

2:13:44 > 2:13:46HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

2:13:46 > 2:13:48"It's fantastic.

2:13:48 > 2:13:51"How many people are lucky enough to get a second chance at love?"

2:13:51 > 2:13:53"Fantastic" is a little flippant.

2:13:53 > 2:13:54"Amazing"?

2:13:54 > 2:13:57I need you to admit that you got the credit cards

2:13:57 > 2:14:00and that you hid all that stuff at Go's and that you pushed me.

2:14:00 > 2:14:03I'm going to need those three things to feel safe.

2:14:04 > 2:14:07You have to own this, Nick.

2:14:07 > 2:14:09Don't worry.

2:14:09 > 2:14:10I know exactly what to say. DOORBELL RINGS

2:14:12 > 2:14:14Nick.

2:14:16 > 2:14:19What a beautiful home.

2:14:20 > 2:14:23I so appreciate you giving us this time, Nick.

2:14:23 > 2:14:25You went on national television

2:14:25 > 2:14:27and told people that I murdered my wife.

2:14:27 > 2:14:29I go where the story goes.

2:14:29 > 2:14:31You implied that I had carnal relations with my sister.

2:14:31 > 2:14:35I didn't use the "I" word. I said you two were "extremely close."

2:14:35 > 2:14:39You and a panel of nitwits diagnosed me as a sociopath.

2:14:40 > 2:14:42Ice-breaker.

2:14:46 > 2:14:47To go with your robot dog.

2:14:47 > 2:14:49I'll go find Amy.

2:14:51 > 2:14:53She's downstairs.

2:14:56 > 2:14:57- What is it?- It's for you.

2:14:57 > 2:14:59Open it.

2:14:59 > 2:15:01I don't need any more gifts from you.

2:15:01 > 2:15:02Open it.

2:15:14 > 2:15:16I didn't touch you.

2:15:16 > 2:15:20- You didn't need to. - Bullshit. That notice of disposal.

2:15:20 > 2:15:22I have that. You threw it out.

2:15:22 > 2:15:24The notice, yes.

2:15:24 > 2:15:25I want a blood test.

2:15:25 > 2:15:27I want a paternity test.

2:15:27 > 2:15:28I love tests.

2:15:28 > 2:15:30You can teach those people to hate me all you want.

2:15:30 > 2:15:33I don't care. I am leaving you.

2:15:35 > 2:15:37I won't have to teach your child to hate you.

2:15:37 > 2:15:40He'll do that all by himself.

2:15:40 > 2:15:42You fucking cunt! SHE GRUNTS

2:15:42 > 2:15:43BREATHING DEEPLY

2:15:43 > 2:15:46I'm the cunt you married.

2:15:46 > 2:15:47The only time you liked yourself

2:15:47 > 2:15:51was when you were trying to be someone this cunt might like.

2:15:51 > 2:15:54I'm not a quitter. I'm that cunt.

2:15:58 > 2:16:01I've killed for you. Who else can say that?

2:16:02 > 2:16:05You think you would be happy with a nice Midwestern girl?

2:16:05 > 2:16:07No way, baby. I'm it.

2:16:07 > 2:16:11Look, you're delusional. You're insane.
