Hey.
What the hell is wrong with you?
Nothing's wrong with me.
Nothing at all.
Your powers out.
Yeah, I know my powers,
You can't just walk in here.
Why not?
Because you don't live here.
Ok, come down.
Don't tell me to calm down.
No, no.
I think it's a good idea for you
to calm down when you have that knife
in your hand.
That I heard something.
Heard something?
What did you hear?
Did you hear from Sam?
That it?
Fuck off.
Yo. I'm really a-
Sorry I mentioned Sam.
I didn't know you were so sensitive.
Not sensitive.
She's coming back.
It's been, what,
since the 20th of last month?
What are you, a calendar?
The fuck.
I'm just saying that you got back in the 15
and you're in a good mood for,
like, three or four days.
And then what do you know about my mood?
That you're much more fun
when you're in a good one.
Yeah, I can say the same thing about you.
Sorry if my bad moods
getting in the way of your good time.
But my entire future is riding on Sam. So.
You wanna go out?
It's raining.
So? you like the rain.
I don't know.
C'mon, it'll take your mind off of her..
You know, we're not in anything
anymore, right Keaton?
I know
what I hurt your feelings?
No. What are you even doing right now?
I told you I thought I heard something.
I'm just going to take a wild guess.
But don't you think
it could have been storm?
Hey Stu!
What?
I just haven't seen
you dance like that in a long time.
Don't be weird.
Still selling those zippers Jen?
Yeah, I'm still selling the zippers.
Why you wanna buy some?
Why do you ask me that?
Every time I come in here,
Making fun of me, too now?
No, he's just jealous. Jen.
I don't need you to stand up for me.
Yeah, I know that
you're just jealous, Stu.
Oh, I'm jealous?
Oh, I'm jealous, too.
She's going to be a millionaire, Stu.
Keaton stop it. Why?
Seriously, shut the fuck up.
Okay.
Hey. Hi.
Can I buy you a beer?
Actually, I just.
Just got one.
Ah, get lost, bro. What's up?
I said get lost for your own sake.
That your boyfriend?
No. No, he's not.
Listen bro, it's not.
It's not an offense or,
personal to you it's just.
She's very peculiar.
About size -Oh my God.
You fucking kidding me?
No I'm not.
Leave me alone.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Listen to me. Hey.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, pal.
I apologize.
Stu beer.
- Yeah Stu. Get the bitch a beer.

You want me to walk away?
Yeah, I want you to walk away.
- Hey, stop it.
- No no no.
I'm gonna walk away
I'm gonna walk away.
I'll take a walk.
Mm mm.
Mm. Wow.
I'm sorry.
For what, Keaton?
For today.
Last year.
I just want things to
go back to normal between us.
I miss you.
Sam?
Of course it's me!
Who else would it be?
I've been calling you for the last hour.
Jen, are you listening?
It's early.
Where have you been?
I'm at JFK, Jen Listen up.
I've been trying
to get in touch with you, Sam.
I know, I know.
I know. Things have gotten crazy.
But. Jen. Listen, I got news.
Okay.
Big, gigantic fucking news.
The fuck?
Hello? Jen?
Are you even listening right now?
Yeah.
I met this super successful guy
a couple of weeks ago.
Inherited his dad's business or something.
And Jen, he wants to fund us.
- Wait, for real?
- Yes! Can you believe it?
He wants to help us with everything.
Have you discussed
strategy or development?
Yeah. We'll get there. We'll get there.
I promise. This is real.
Trust
me. He's invited us out on his yacht.
For the week
to talk ideas and sign contracts.
Wait, when?
Today! You still have your passport, right?
I need a passport?
I just told you.
His yachts in the Virgin Islands.
A car will pick you up
and bring it to the plane in an hour.
Okay?
Sam. Sam.
I haven't heard from you in weeks,
and I'm just supposed to-
This, this feels really fast. Like
out of nowhere.
You are going to have to trust me on this,
all right?
It's like a second chance for us.
This is it. Are you in?
You have reached the voicemail
box of... Keaton.
At the beep.
Here you are, ma'am.
Thanks.
Jen!
Oh, my God.
Look, who made it, finally.
Hello hello.
Oh my god, hey girl.
Where the hell have you been?
Around -What are you wearing?
Yachting attire.
What do you think?
There he is.
Been waiting for you.
We're about ready to head out.
Grab your bag.
Lemme get that.
Hi -Jen.
- David Calperson, welcome.
- Nice to meet you.
Thank you.
- Sam's told me a lot about you.
- Really?
It's funny.
- I've heard almost nothing about you.
- Ha!
Well, that's okay, because I was bluffing.
Honestly, Sam only talks about herself.
Yeah, that sounds about right
You guys!
- John. shoes off.
- Oh.
Lose the shoes.
John. Hey John watch the teak man!
C'mon! What have I told you? Tell the guys.
Jen, hurry up.
Coming
salon.
I think this room is pretty
self-explanatory.
Crazy, right?
Hey, come on.
I wanna show you the bridge.
It's very cool. Watch your step.
So here we have a state of the art
navigation system.
World class.
Not to mention our crew is as well.
- How you doing boys?
- Welcome.
Thank you.
Say hello to the boys.
Hey -Over here. We got radar.
As you can see, security cameras
to protect us from pirates.
Safety first.
And, I don't know, buttons and lights
and stuff.
Hey, gentlemen, when you're ready, go
ahead and take us out.
Yes, sir, Captain.
- Did they just call you Captain?
- Huh...
Weird.
If you follow me down here
I'll show you the bedrooms.
There's three of them.
So you can take your pick.
You can bunk up together.
I don't care. International waters.
No judgment. This is my bedroom.
If you need anything, it's bigger.
It's nicer.
I'm staying here because this is a yacht
after all.
We'll meet up for dinner.
I have to make a phone call to Beijing.
But please make yourselves at home.
The crew, the contents of the ship.
Everything is completely at your disposal.
Okay.
I'll see you soon. Don't go in there.
Just kidding. Go wherever you want.
So what's new back at home?
Give me something juicy.
Keaton came over there other night.
Fuck him.
I've been having these dreams about him.
You mean nightmares?
More like memories.
You ever have a dream
that felt totally real?
Yeah, sure.
When I'm drunk or
after I've eaten too much cheese.
Like a ton of cheese.
I call them cheese dreams
right.
Well,
I had one of those dreams about Keaton.
In the dream I killed him.
Ugh, scary.
Yeah.
I'm sorry I didn't call more
do you have any idea how many hospitals
I called trying to find you, I thought.
I know, I know. I'm sorry.
I really am.
You know, you probably won't believe me,
but I tell everyone about you.
We wouldn't be here if it weren't for you.
God, you are so much smarter
than all of David's friends.
All right.
You should still feel guilty about it.
But I'm gonna work on it.
Where's David?
I don't know
I think I miss him.
- Oh my God.
- What?
Are you listening to yourself?
I'm going to go find him.
If rhat's okay with you.
Let me check my schedule.
Yep. Works for me.
All right.
All right.
Ta ta!
Sorry.
And done.
Yeah. Okay.
So how did you two meet?
Sam picked me up at a bar.
- Yeah, you believe that, right?
- It's true.
She found out that I was an entrepreneur.
And she just kind of glommed onto me.
Sam's built quite the reputation
for you, too, in New York.
He's lying.
I'm not.
Anybody else want an Ambien?
No.
The last time that I took an Ambien,
I woke up,
and every single lamp
that I own was on top of my refrigerator.
And had a roast in the oven,
which was seasoned to perfection.
It was a fucking good roast.
And I've never made roast before or after.
So that's something.
Can we talk business?
Yes, of course.
What are you going to talk about?
I mean, start.
I'd like to know where we're going.
I just assumed Sam would've
told you that already.
You haven't?
What kind of business partner are you?
We're on our way to my factory
in Puerto Rico,
and my lawyers are waiting for us there
with your contract.
Really?
Nothing.
I'm terrible.
I'm a manufacturer.
I have a company that produces
small metal attachments.
We make a lot of buttons mostly.
But I've done zippers in the past as well.
We do military uniforms,
some hospital accouterments, and
a lot of professional attire.
So my plan
to take the equipment that I already have,
make a few small tweaks,
just in a few new molds.
I want to start pumping out your patent.
This is where it gets really interesting.
I've already got the deal in place.
It's a licensing contract.
It's gonna make the three of us
about $25 million
How does that sound?
We are about to be
on every piece of clothing in the world.
I want to officially
welcome you to the 1%.
You're an entrepreneur. Now. Okay.
Your ideas
are the ideas that shape the world.
Our thoughts become reality. Jen,
I need you to trust me when I tell you
I know how to make money.
And he's got friends who make missiles.
Tanks.
Actually, that's one friend
I have one friend that makes things.
It's not that weird.
Somebody has to make tanks.
So why is the boat, ship, named Vivie Rae?
Oh, God.
She who shall not be named.
His ex-wife.
Vivian.
Actually, was her name.
I guess she thought Vivie Rae sounded
more exotic, whatever.
Anyway, long story short,
my ex-wife had a lot of
mental and emotional
issues, to say the least,
Look,
I want to thank you all for being here,
for making me a lot of money
and for lifting my spirits.
Cheers.
Hey -Hi.
How far away are you from Puerto Rico?
About three and a half days.
Do you even speak Spanish?
I speak the international language
of cold, hard cash. Mamacita.
Actually, I'm going to go to bed.
I'm really tired.
But you guys stay up, okay?
Jen, wait wait wait wait wait,
wait on me.
I'm going to go join her.
Okay?
Yeah.
Goodnight.
Wait up
what's the situation with you two?
Me and David?
No. The other billionaire on the ship.
- Yeah.
- Shit.
Were you trying to give me some
room up there?
Do you like him?
You're
successful.
Hasn't tried anything creepy yet.
Do you?
You just kissed him.
Plus, I definitely don't want to have
a threesome with you and him.
Oh, my God.
Jen chill, we were just having some fun.
This is a business trip.
Honestly,
you should have seen him before I met him.
He was such a wreck.
From the divorce?
Yeah,
She must of done a real number on him.
He doesn't like to talk about her.
I think he really loved her.
I need to know you for the right reasons.
One second.
Hey -Hey.
Are you comfortable?
Yeah.
Good.
I just wanted to know
if you get cold at night,
It can get kind of chilly on the ship.
Um, I'm fine.
Good.
Good.
I'll see you in the morning.
Goodnight -Goodnight.
Jen, Jen? Jen.
Jesus -Sorry.
My interrupting?
No.
Sit.
- Are you sleeping okay?
- Yeah.
I'm just a morning person.
Mind if I ask you a question?
What happened in New York
between you and Sam?
What did Sam tell you?
Nothing.
It's just that
if we're going to work together,
which we are.
I want to feel like
we can trust each other too.
If you don't want to talk about it.
That's fine.
I just want you to feel
that you can trust me.
But no pressure.
So, for the last year,
I've been having these
panic attacks.
I don't know.
I think my brain works differently
than other people.
Cause you're an artist?
Because you're a thinker?
I don't know about that.
No it just got worse, in New York.
Sam was gone a lot,
hanging out with her new friends.
And her new friends were more
successful -Ah
like me.
Yeah.
I don't know, I mean, this.
This is great. It's
it's just not, really me.
I disagree.
That goes all the way down.
I don't want to think about it.
Well, just don't think about Jaws.
What's Jaws?
Really?
Huh.
Do sharks actually attack you here?
Sharks don't come into the bay
this late into the winter.
But the idea is that when you jump
in, make as little a splash as possible.
Because they're attracted to the motion!
You Jerk.
I can't help but feel like something,
could just pop out at any moment.
What the fuck!
David? what about the sharks?
I think there's room enough
I this big blue sea for
all God's creatures.
Come jump in.
It's perfect.
Fuck it.
Wait, seriously?
C'mon!
I told you.
- It's so salty.
- I know it's nice.
Jen! Jen. Jen!
You okay?
Quick, quick, just get out of the water.
You okay?
Are you okay?
Something's down there.
Somethings down there.
Hey! Hey. Hey.
What was it? You see a fish?
Is it Jaws?
What?
Is this not the best Indian food?
Yeah.
I don't think we really like this wine.
I'm going to get a different bottle.
Excuse me.
Sam?
Sam?
I have to go down to the stockroom.
I'll be right back.
Hey D?
Will you grab me a bottle of white, please?
Sam, I'm sorry about today.
It's like New York all over again.
What?
That's not fair.
White.
Thank you.
- Sam, Stop, hey.
- Hey.
No, this is a bad idea.
This is a bad idea.
What about Jen?
Fuck.
What do you want?
What do you want?
What do you want?
What do you want?
What do you want?
Why are you here?
Why are you here?
Jen? Wake up Jen.
Wait -Jen wake up!
Drop the knife Jen!
- What is that?
- Drop it!
Jen wake up!
Wake up Jen!
Drop it! Wake up Jen! Wake up!
- Drop the knife. Drop the knife Jen.
- Hey! Hey!
Get off of her!
Hey, hey, hey.
Is she sleep walking?
She probably had a nightmare.
Are you okay? Yeah yeah yeah.
Try to get some rest.
Yeah, You need it.
Sam wait.
Wait.
Can I talk to you?
You know those dreams I told you about.
You think they're real?
What are you talking about?
I think they happened.
I think if you had killed Keaton,
we both would know, don't you?
You don't believe me.
Look,
I know that the past couple of months
have been crazy, but.
I don't think it's safe to say
that you've lost your mind, Jen.
I'm seeing things.
It's a figure.
It's like.
It's like this presence.
Jen, stop.
- It's like a black hole.
- Stop it!
I'm trying.
- You need to keep it together.
- I'm trying.
Please, for me.
Okay?
We've come this far already.
Don't fuck this up.
Understood?
Sam.
- Goodnight. Sleep good alright?
- Sam, wait?
Goodnight. We'll talk in the morning.
David, I am.
So sorry.
The subconscious is a powerful thing.
She's home.
She's missing you. She's scared.
She's alone. Now she's here.
Her life is changing a lot
that can affect people.
I know it's strange, but
human beings are strange creatures.
I think the best thing we could do right
now is get some sleep
separately.
Did we ruin everything?
No. One bad dream can't
ruin everything.
Did I make things, weird between us
though?
Come here. nothing's weird.
Get some sleep.
Goodnight -Goodnight...
Girl, you've been so good to me
Stayin' by my side through the bad times.
All my dreams never came true somehow But
things are gonna be different now, baby.
My ship is comin' in, baby, baby.
My ship is comin' in.
And won't it be fine?
Girl, we're gonna make it this time
you can throw away
that shabby dress, buy yourself.
The finest things in town, girl.
Dry your eyes We're celebrating.
Oh, there's so many
good times waiting baby.
My ship is comin' in, baby, baby.
Let me the fuck out of here!
Hello?
Somebody let me out.
Let me
let me the fuck out of here!
Help!
What the fuck?
Morning.
My door was locked.
Huh? That's weird.
We're gonna have some breakfast.
Come join me.
Found her.
Morning.
Morning.
Yep. Jen!
How are you feeling?
Much better.
- Good.
- Yeah.
I think I just needed some sleep.
Sam told me
that you were having
some sort of bad dream the night
before you came here.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was pretty crazy.
What was that about?
My ex.
Keaton.
He just showed up at my house.
I just had a dream that something happened.
Something like what?
I don't
I don't remember, actually.
I'm really sorry
that that happened to you.
All I can tell you
is that you're not going to have to worry
about people like that anymore.
You're gonna have so much money.
You can pay somebody to take care of him
if you need to.
Yeah, I don't know.
I think I was stressed and.
I was worried about Sam.
I missed her. felt pretty alone.
I know it's strange, but
human beings are strange creatures.
All right, I'm going to go shower.
Still have all this saltwater in my hair
from yesterday.
Excuse me, sir?
- What?
- Could I have a word with you for a moment?
Okay.
Just take a second.
Excuse me.
Some of the crew have been talking.
We're a little bit concerned
about the situation from last night.
- Yeah.
- I think it would be a good idea
to start the discussion
about finding a place to dock.
No, that's not going to work.
We need to stay on schedule,
so just do your fucking job.
Ladies?
Girls?
Hey Jen?
- Sam?!
- Dave! What the fuck?
Sorry
I thought she was coming for you.
What? Jen? Are you crazy?
What's happening?
I have no idea.
- Buddy, stay with me.
- No, Joe!
I need, I need a first aid kit right now.
Any crew member, I need a first aid kit.
Joe, Joe,
Stay with me, buddy. Stay with me.
C'mon Joe.
- You alright, you alright.
- Keep talking buddy, keep talking
keep on talking buddy, Keep on talking.
You're going to be all right.
Kiss me -No
Keaton, Keaton no!
Get off!
Hey. Hey.
How long have I been asleep?
Why don't we start with what you remember.
- What's going on?
- Jen.
- Sam? Sam? Sam?
- Jen, I want you to
Sam, what's happening?
Tell me exactly-
Sam? get these the fuck off of me!
The best thing you can do right now
is relax and work with me.
Sam what's going on?
Jen, calm down, okay?
She's right, Jen, you need to relax.
Don't tell me to fucking relax!
Get these the fuck off of me!
Sam. Sam?
Sam, would you give the two of us
a minute, please?
- Sam no.
- Jen, everything's gonna be okay.
Just one minute, Sam.
- No, Sam's don't.
- David she doesn't know anything.
- Sam!
- What happened?
She hasn't remember anything.
What don't I remember?
Watch your hand?
Sam, Sam!
I need to ask you some questions.
Okay?
- Do you recognize this woman?
- No.
When did you meet her?
I didn't.
You don't recognize her?
I don't know her.
Where'd you get that necklace, Jen?
- What?
- Jen.
When did this
woman give you that necklace?
I don't know her, I don't.
I don't know her.
Who gave you the necklace?
Sam.
David.
What's going on?
Look, I really think that we should dock
at that island.
- You know the one I was telling you about?
- Just give me a second.
I need to think.
David, there is a dead body on this ship
we have to stop!
David!
What are you doing?
Jen told me that you gave her
something in New York.
Where did you get it?
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about her necklace.
From some vintage shop in Green point.
You're lying to me.
Why would you say that?
You said you have Ambien.
Give it to me.
- Why?
- Get me the fucking pills!
When did they get to you?
Hm?
Who gave you the necklace?
Who told you to give it to Jennifer?
Was it before we met?
Was it a coincidence
we met in that bar?
- Was it a coincidence we met that bar?!
- You are insane!
This is every last dime I have
that isn't in assets.
You can consider it a signing bonus.
I don't know who you're working with,
but I know for a fact
you won't get more
money than working with. But
David, what,
Hi.
I'm so sorry about all of this.
What the fuck is going on?
I know none of this is your fault.
Lemme help you. But here's the deal.
Sam!
I need you to relax until you get this
contract signed.
So I have a few pills here
that are going to help you.
And just for a little while,
until we can get to the factory.
All right?
I just need you to take them and relax.
It's very important for us. Please.
I need you to trust me. Do you trust me?
You trust me?
Please, please, please.
I don't like this any more than you do.
Sam!
I just need you to take them and relax.
It's very important for us.
I'm not going to-Ow!
I'm not gonna be able to let you breathe
unless you take these pills.
You understand?
Open.
Open.
Open.
When you swallow, I can let you breathe.
Swallow. And you can breathe.
Swallow. Do you want some water?
I can get you some water.
Good,
good.
Sorry.
This is important.
This is going to be good for you.
I promise.
I just need you to relax.
We're going to be there soon.
Okay.
Sam, shit.
Sam?
Hey. Hey,
wake up.
Shit.
Stop fucking around
I'm trying to fix this.
Can I help you?
Can you hear me?
You need to go back upstairs.
Hello?
What are you doing?
Help!
Jen Hey,

You feeling all right?
Listen, I'm sorry about the pills. Jen.
Let's talk about this.
Hey, put that down.

Jen. Jen, Jen.
Come on.
I know that's not you.
I know that's not you.
Vivian?
Are you listening to me?
It's just us now.
I never meant
any of this.
You know, I love you.
You're the only thing
I've ever really loved.
You know, I'm lying about that.
Please don't do this to me.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I said I'm sorry.
Sorry.
Sam, Sam,
where is everyone?
They're all gone.
They left?
Sam.
It's so good to see you again.
Samantha's told me so much about you.
She did?
She said she wouldn't have anything
if it wasn't for you.
That she owes you everything.
I can see you have a lot of questions.
I'd like to give you some answers.
I want to show you something.
Come with me.
Coming?
Where are we?
This is where I grew up.
Do you see?
I chose you.
It's okay.
Jen!
Jen.
Jen.
Just.
I'm sorry. Hey.
