Secrets We Keep

(breathing heavily)
Daniel:
When we lose our way
And our problems seem to
overwhelm our lives,
We are forgetting
the greatness of god.
We're losing a beautiful
balance in our lives.
We're in this little boat,
and the seas are enormous,
And they're
tossing us to and fro,
But our ballast,
it's heavy and it's deep.
The great and
deepest value in our lives
Is that we lead them
so that our hearts
Lift up the name of god
above all things.
But there is more
deliverance, more healing,
And more joy to be found
in the hallowing of god's name
Than you ever dreamed possible.
(breathing heavily)
(heavy breathing)
(patient speaking quietly)
Jo: That was wonderful.
Oh, I'm so glad.
I look like her, don't I?
You do.
Were you two friends?
I'm sorry, I really have
to run to my next session.
Can I just ask you
a few questions?
Eve: Sorry.
Why did beth leave genesis?
What?
She was friends
with christina, right?
They were close?
Ask her.
Please?
Yes
Until they weren't.
What happened?
I'm sorry.
I really shouldn't be
talking about this.
Okay.
Thank you.
I'm glad to know
that she's safe.
Did christina tell you that?
Beth's dead.
She was deeply depressed,
She came here for real help,
and we let her down.
She was a patient here?
Many of us were.
It makes for a great story
When it ends well.
Daniel: Hey.
Can you hand me a trowel?
Took us a few years to
get the garden up to snuff,
But now we grow produce
may to October.
Ah!
Little buggers.
Poison pie, do not eat.
They infest
my garden like pests.
Sends you straight to the er.
You know,
this would go a lot faster
If you got down here
and pitched in a little.
Yeah, I'd rather talk.
Off.
Why'd you kill the chaffeys?
(daniel sighing)
Tanya worked
at my father's resort.
I spent a lot of time there,
As I was jobless and not
welcome at my parents' house.
She was kind to me.
She had a beautiful smile.
It started with
following her home,
Just to see what she was
like in her own habitat,
With her kids, her husband.
And then one night,
that was no longer enough.
If you were in love with her,
why would you murder her?
I wasn't in love with her.
What was it, then?
Desire, maybe. Jealousy.
I could never quite put my
finger on what it was
That led me to that place.
Did you plan it?
Yes, and no.
I told myself it
would be safe just to watch,
But I think, deep down
I always knew
it would end that way.
And then
One night, it Just kind of
felt out of my control.
And then?
You're ruining
a perfect afternoon.
Look, you've already
shown me the beautiful garden,
The cozy church community,
the happy drug addicts.
I get both sides of the story.
That's the deal.
- Please, don't ask me this.
- Don't you want a fair trial?
- Please.
- Say it.
What do you want to know?
Huh?
How I tied
matthew chaffey's hands
Behind his back
Before sticking
his rifle in his mouth?
Tanya was
Hiding with the children
in their bedroom.
She was Screaming.
So, I gagged
her with her own hair
Before I
Before you slit her throat.
Then, I
I smothered
the boys With pillows.
They went Quickly, so I
I moved to the girl.
Farid: Emily.
I wanted it to be over, so I
I broke her neck,
then I put her in the armoire.
Farid: Why the satanic symbols?
My so-called family
have always
Been god-fearing.
Every Sunday, for--
For four years,
They put me under
the care of father andrews.
He molested me, farid.
I discovered satanism in a book,
And I found a place to
absorb all that
All that anger.
After the chaffeys,
After I realized the extent
Of what I'd done, I-I fled.
I took my parents'
hush money and I disappeared
Into remote corners
of the world,
Turning to whatever
substance would help me forget.
I met a priest
And he
(breathing shakily)
He showed me that
religion
Could heal
That it could have grace,
That I could start anew.
(car door closing)
Hello?
Who's this?
Daniel: Claudia.
This is, uh, farid,
a new friend.
You staying for dinner then?
Fair trial.

Hello?
It's jo.
Hello?
Voice: No! No!
(screaming)
- Neil: What are you doing?
- (gasping)
(jo breathing heavily)
I heard screaming.
Christina's in a session.
Claudia:
What brings you to the island?
I'm here with my partner jo,
on a much-needed vacation.
Dinner!
Now!
(chuckling)
Claudia: How long you
and jo been together?
Thirteen years.
Wow.
Takes a strong love
to make it to 13 years.
Yeah, it does.
Year 13
The year I almost
drown him in the lake.
- (chuckling)
- oh.
Now, we're at 18 and
I'm still thinking about it.
(chuckling)
I mean it, now!
Hiding from mom!
Hide from mom! Hide from mom!
Lasagne.
He seems like
an incredible father.
That's why I keep him around.
Then why drown him?
Sorry?
Well, you said you wanted
to drown him in the lake.
- How come?
- Oh
(chuckling)
Do you trust him?
Daniel: In we go.
Hungry monkeys.
(daniel sighing contentedly)
Let's do this, huh?
It smells great.
All right.
(sighing)
Dear lord, bless this food,
Bless this drink,
Since you have
redeemed us so dearly
And delivered us from evil.
And as you have given us
a share in this food,
So may you give us
a share in eternal life.
Amen.
Family: Amen.
Christina: Hey.
Can I join you?
Yeah.
Neil said I gave you
a bit of a scare.
I'm sorry. I
I thought you
were being murdered.
By who? Neil?
I'm sure he's thought about it,
But no, he doesn't
have the balls.
What were you doing?
Uh, reliving the moment my ex
got eaten alive by a grizzly.
Jo: Oh my god, why?
It's part of my trauma therapy.
How are you feeling?
The memories are coming back.
What memories?
All the stuff
from my mom's house.
Everything
Is bubbling back up.
I'm scared.
Don't be. No.
You know, carl jung
Believed that
hallucinating was just
Dreaming while awake;
A way for the
unconscious to be heard.
Maybe there's something big
yours is trying to tell you.
And how can you hear it if
you're silencing the voices?
You want to try a session?
- A trauma session?
- Yeah,
With a bit of ketamine.
No, don't worry.
It's a very low dose,
perfectly safe.
Uh I don't know.
Trust me.
Please?
You are stuck in
a looping effect, jo,
Tied to an experience
that isn't your own--
Your mother's illness.
You'll disconnect from this
identity of a schizophrenic,
So you can witness
the trauma from the outside.

You can communicate
with your hallucinations,
Knowing you are
not in any real danger.


No, don't!
(screaming)
(gasping)
(breathing heavily)
(gasping)
get me out!
Get me out!
Get me out!
Hey, wait.
That was really fucked up.
Hey. Talk to me.
That wasn't what
you said would happen.
What happened?
Jo, what happened?
Daniel: Dinner with
the devil wasn't so bad, eh?
You have a beautiful family.
I know.
I am truly blessed,
But that's-- that's
all down to claudia.
(phone vibrating)
You want to take that?
Farid: It's all good.
Was it jo?
Uh, it wasn't.
You want to know
the secret to a long marriage?
Uh, compromise?
Don't get divorced.
You love her?
What?
Do you love her?
Yeah, of course I do.
Yeah.
Would you do anything
not to harm her?
To lose her?
- Why are you asking me this?
- (phone vibrating)
How long has it been going on?
- (phone vibrating)
- your affair.
(phone vibrating)
Is that what the firm told you?
When they spied on us?
I see it in the way
you talk about her.
You have shame.
Jo ended things.
I thought we were done.
And then, you weren't.
(sighing)
Things with brie
just got so intense,
And then jo
came back into my life,
And I didn't know what to do.
It was really hard for me
to just break it off.
But you did.
A month ago,
and jo still has no idea.
Don't tell her.
I have to.
Why? So, you can
clear your conscience?
That just puts
the onus on jo to forgive.
It'll simply cause her pain,
When it's you
who needs to do the work.
What do you
think you can just
Ask for forgiveness and all
your sins vanish into the wind?
You need to live every day
with what you've done
And you need to make amends
Through your
continued love for jo.
Spare her the pain.
Seek your salvation in the lord.
- (phone vibrating)
- excuse me?
You said yourself
It was over.
It's time to put
an end to it for good.
(phone vibrating)
No.
Take the call, farid.
(phone vibrating)
Take the fucking call!
(phone vibrating)
(chuckling nervously)
I'm so sorry. That was--
That was completely
uncalled for.
Farid

(leather striking)
(thwipping)
(low sawing noises)
(exhaling sharply)
Farid: What are you doing?
Where are the keys?
Where are you going?
It's 4 a.M.
Jo: You have them.
- Give me the keys.
- Farid: What for?
Do you sleep with them?
Jesus, jo, no.
They're in my pants.
Where are you going?
Jo.
- Get out of my way, please.
- No.
Are you fucking serious?
What's wrong with you?
Where the hell do you have to
be in the middle of the night?
Jesus, you're so
fucking control--
- Okay.
- Let me go.
- Jo
- You fucking psycho, let me go.
Let me go! Let me go!
(printer whirring)
(printer whirring)
Voice: Jo
Holy shit.

(gasping)
(breathing heavily)
