00:00:49Beatrice.
00:00:52You were my first kiss.
00:00:54Beatrice, wait! Wait! Wait!
00:00:57Beatrice!
00:01:00🎵sad music plays🎵
00:01:29What the hell are you doing here?
00:01:41Better?
00:01:42🎵sad music plays🎵
00:01:56Hi, Julia. Princeton was great.
00:01:59I'm back in town. Let's try to grab sushi. Hope all is well.
00:02:03I've come down with the flu and I'm catching up on sleep.
00:02:06I'll call you when I'm feeling better.
00:02:08🎵sad music plays🎵
00:02:13Julianne, um, Julia. It's Gabriel.
00:02:18I'm standing outside your building.
00:02:20I wish we could go back to this morning and
00:02:23I could tell you that I've never seen anything more beautiful than you in my kitchen.
00:02:27Happy that I'm incredibly lucky that you rescued me and stayed with me all night.
00:02:33That I'm an idiot.
00:02:36And I don't deserve your kindness.
00:02:38I should never have let you go this morning.
00:02:41I should have begged you to stay and...
00:02:44I know I hurt you.
00:02:47And I'm sorry.
00:02:50🎵sad music plays🎵
00:03:01Please, Julia. We need to talk about your note.
00:03:09There are things I need to explain to you.
00:03:12🎵sad music plays🎵
00:03:17I want to fix this.
00:03:19Please, call me.
00:03:26I left something on your porch.
00:03:29Did you see it?
00:03:32Did you read the card?
00:03:36I want to make it a lot to you.
00:03:38🎵sad music plays🎵
00:03:45I remember kissing you.
00:03:47You kissed me back.
00:03:50Didn't you feel it?
00:03:52🎵sad music plays🎵
00:04:03There is something between us.
00:04:06You can't expect me to uncover your true identity and not talk to you about it.
00:04:11All I'm asking for is one conversation.
00:04:16You owe me that much.
00:04:19Dr. Emerson.
00:04:23Stop harassing me.
00:04:25I don't want you anymore.
00:04:27I don't even want to know you.
00:04:29If you don't leave me alone, I'll be forced to file a harassment claim against you.
00:04:34I need a new thesis director.
00:04:36Regards, Miss Julia H. Mitchell.
00:04:40P.S. I'll be returning the M.P. Emerson bursary.
00:04:46Congratulations, Professor Abelard.
00:04:49No one has ever made me feel as cheap as you did Sunday morning.
00:04:54🎵sad music plays🎵
00:05:02🎵sad music plays🎵
00:05:15I understand you're angry and hurt.
00:05:20And I'm the cause of your pain, but...
00:05:24That bursary was given to you because you deserve it.
00:05:28Don't punish me by punishing yourself.
00:05:34I've found you a new advisor.
00:05:37Professor Catherine Pickton is a friend of mine.
00:05:40She's agreed to meet you.
00:05:45I'm sorry, you don't want to know me anymore.
00:05:49Abelard truly cared for Hallowease.
00:05:52He also hurt her, as I've hurt you.
00:05:55He never hurt you.
00:05:58But he was deeply sorry.
00:06:00Read Abelard's sixth letter and see if that alters your perception of him and me.
00:06:07I'll spend the rest of my life regretting the fact that I wasted my second chance to know you.
00:06:17I will always be conscious of your absence.
00:06:20🎵sad music plays🎵
00:06:23I won't bother you again.
00:06:25🎵sad music plays🎵
00:06:31Goodbye, Julianne.
00:06:34🎵sad music plays🎵
00:07:04🎵sad music plays🎵
00:07:34Bastard.
00:07:46Hey, gorgeous.
00:07:47Whoa.
00:07:48Didn't mean to scare you.
00:07:49What's that?
00:07:50Jump mail.
00:07:52Looking forward to Emerson Seminar?
00:07:54Should be good.
00:07:55I don't know about that.
00:07:56It's been in a foul mood for days.
00:07:58I don't want a repeat of what happened last time it was like this.
00:08:01I got you something from Princeton.
00:08:11Please don't give it back.
00:08:12I know you don't have a nice keyring and I wanted you to know I was thinking of you while I was gone.
00:08:18Thank you, Paul.
00:08:21I missed you too.
00:08:30You're welcome, Robin.
00:08:47Maybe we can grab coffee after.
00:08:49Sure.
00:08:50That sounds great.
00:09:01Miss Mitchell.
00:09:05I need to speak with you after class.
00:09:12Please.
00:09:14Sorry, Professor.
00:09:15I have an urgent meeting right after class that I can't miss.
00:09:19Of course.
00:09:21Please email me and set up a time.
00:09:23Of course, Professor.
00:09:26Another time.
00:09:27Today I will be...
00:09:36Today I will be examining the relationship between Dante and Beatrice.
00:09:43Particularly what transpired when Dante met Beatrice the second time.
00:09:50Particularly what transpired when Dante met Beatrice the second time and she rejected him.
00:10:03Beatrice represents many things for Dante.
00:10:07They meet twice.
00:10:11My question is...
00:10:15Where was Beatrice?
00:10:16And what was she doing in between her two meetings with Dante?
00:10:22Dante waited years for her.
00:10:26She knew where he lived.
00:10:28She knew his family.
00:10:31She was friendly with them.
00:10:35If she cared about him, why did she make no attempt to contact him?
00:10:46And...
00:10:54I would say that the answer is obvious.
00:10:57Dante cared for Beatrice, but Beatrice cared nothing for Dante.
00:11:04Their relationship was entirely one-sided.
00:11:17Yes, Ms. Mitchell?
00:11:19This assessment of Beatrice is really arrogant and self-serving, Professor.
00:11:24Are you crazy?
00:11:26Why blame Beatrice?
00:11:28She's the victim in all of this.
00:11:30Dante met her when she was under 18.
00:11:33It was impossible for them to be together.
00:11:36I don't understand.
00:11:38I don't understand.
00:11:40I don't understand.
00:11:42I don't understand.
00:11:44It was impossible for them to be together unless he's a pedophile.
00:11:48Are you telling us that Dante is a pedophile, Professor?
00:11:52Of course not.
00:11:54He had true affection for her.
00:11:58If she had ever had the courage to ask him, he would have told her that.
00:12:05Everything in Dante's later life revolves around sex.
00:12:08He certainly isn't sitting home alone on a Saturday night waiting for Beatrice.
00:12:11So he must have not cared for her.
00:12:15He needed companionship, Ms. Mitchell.
00:12:19And if it makes it any more palatable,
00:12:24those women were just helpful friends.
00:12:27Friends? We're like pelvic affiliates.
00:12:30Friends help each other.
00:12:32They don't feed sexual addiction.
00:12:34His love for Beatrice never diminished.
00:12:37He simply despaired waiting for her to show up
00:12:41and that was her fault, not his.
00:12:43If that's love, I'll take hatred.
00:12:48I think you've made your point, Ms. Mitchell.
00:12:51Oh, I don't think I have.
00:12:53It's commonly known that Dante's dalliances were anonymous and tawdry.
00:12:58That doesn't sound like someone who would appeal to Beatrice.
00:13:01Not to mention the fact that he had a mistress named Paulina.
00:13:05Paulina?
00:13:07Who's Paulina?
00:13:09Um...
00:13:11A woman in Philadelphia found evidence of that relationship.
00:13:14Anyway, if Beatrice didn't want Dante and rejected him, it was justified.
00:13:20Dante was a self-absorbed, cruel, arrogant slut
00:13:25who treated women like toys for his own personal amusement.
00:13:39The language Dante uses for his first meeting with Beatrice is dreamlike.
00:13:47For personal reasons...
00:13:56For personal reasons, he doesn't trust his senses.
00:14:00He's not sure who she is.
00:14:02He's not sure who she is.
00:14:04He's not sure who she is.
00:14:05He's not sure who she is.
00:14:08One theory is Dante thought Beatrice was...
00:14:13an angel.
00:14:17Beatrice is wrong in assuming that he remembered everything from the first meeting.
00:14:24Wouldn't seeing her again jar his memory?
00:14:27Or was he too drunk to try?
00:14:30That's enough.
00:14:32Can we get back to this Paulina mistress?
00:14:33Paulina is irrelevant and has no real bearing on today's discussion, Miss Peterson.
00:14:38I disagree.
00:14:40She was either his mistress or his fuck buddy.
00:14:43Class is dismissed.
00:14:45In my office, Miss Mitchell. Now.
00:15:04If you were anyone else, I'd have you expelled.
00:15:08Your disrespectful attitude is unacceptable.
00:15:11On top of that, I can't even begin to express the anger I have over what you said about Paulina.
00:15:18You were never to speak about her again.
00:15:22Do I make myself clear?
00:15:25Do I make myself clear?
00:15:27Do I make myself clear?
00:15:29Do I make myself clear?
00:15:31Do I make myself clear?
00:15:33Do I make myself clear?
00:15:37Yes.
00:15:43I think you wanted me to lose my temper and make a scene so you'd be justified in running away.
00:15:49You wanted me to behave like every other abusive asshole that has knocked you around.
00:15:54Well, I'm not an abusive asshole.
00:15:56What happened today in my class will never happen again.
00:16:01Understand?
00:16:04I'll apologize to the class.
00:16:07You will do no such thing.
00:16:09That will only bring more attention to us and lead to gossip.
00:16:12Gossip neither one of us wants.
00:16:18Is this a game to you?
00:16:20You left a bra in my mailbox.
00:16:22Choose your head!
00:16:24I wasn't about to leave it on your porch.
00:16:28I started this class, in fact, by changing my lecture.
00:16:31But you finished it with the equivalent of a hydrogen bomb.
00:16:35We're going to pretend this debacle never happened.
00:16:39And hope that the other students are too wrapped up in their own life to notice anything.
00:16:45Have you returned the bursary?
00:16:48No.
00:16:49Good, and you won't.
00:16:50Returning it now will only draw criticism for the both of us.
00:16:53Take the money!
00:17:01No.
00:17:08Did you listen to any of the messages I left?
00:17:18But you don't believe me.
00:17:25You seem to be the only person capable of pushing all my buttons.
00:17:28And I do mean all of them.
00:17:37Look at me.
00:17:46Why can't you just tell me what you want, Julianne?
00:17:53Or do you only answer to rabbit?
00:17:59Fine.
00:18:01I give up.
00:18:03Paul can have you.
00:18:29So all this agony was for nothing?
00:18:33You were cruel.
00:18:35And so were you.
00:18:37You hurt me.
00:18:39And you hurt me.
00:18:42It's revenge.
00:18:44Everything you dreamed it might be.
00:18:48I'm sorry.
00:18:50I'm sorry.
00:18:52I'm sorry.
00:18:54I'm sorry.
00:18:56I'm sorry.
00:18:58I'm sorry.
00:19:16You're a coward.
00:19:17I'm not a coward.
00:19:19You're the one who's leaving.
00:19:20You're sending me to him.
00:19:22Like hell I am.
00:19:24I'm just a student.
00:19:25With the power you could destroy me.
00:19:27You think I'd destroy you?
00:19:29After our history?
00:19:30You think this is what I want?
00:19:32I'm miserable.
00:19:34Seeing you again after all this time and seeing you like this?
00:19:37You never gave me a chance.
00:19:39How the hell would I know what you want?
00:19:41Well, you won't fucking talk to me.
00:19:42Shouting at me won't persuade me to talk to you.
00:19:47This is wrong.
00:19:50You're my professor.
00:19:52I'm going to protect you.
00:19:55I promise you.
00:19:59Come with me.
00:20:05Paul's waiting.
00:20:06Fuck Paul.
00:20:07He's my only friend in Toronto.
00:20:09I'd like to be your friend.
00:20:12Gabriel.
00:20:14This is dangerous.
00:20:17I loved the way you say my name, Beatrice.
00:20:20I'm not Beatrice.
00:20:22These delusions have to stop.
00:20:25Julianne.
00:20:27I've waited six years to talk to you.
00:20:33I won't wait any longer.
00:20:37I'm taking you home.
00:20:39With me.
00:20:51What are you doing?
00:20:53I'm texting Paul.
00:20:55To cancel.
00:21:25Fuck.
00:21:56I'm going to make dinner.
00:21:58But I need to step out and pick up a few things.
00:22:03Would you be alright?
00:22:08Of course.
00:22:11Promise me you won't leave.
00:22:18I promise.
00:22:25I love you.
00:22:55I love you.
00:23:25I love you.
00:23:38Julianne.
00:23:49Come.
00:23:56Come.
00:24:04Are you pleased?
00:24:06It's beautiful.
00:24:11Let me.
00:24:25Thank you.
00:24:45My dear Julianne.
00:24:47If you wish to know how I feel about you,
00:24:50just ask me.
00:24:51Yours, Gabriel.
00:24:55Thank you.
00:25:26No champagne?
00:25:28You might find this hard to believe, but
00:25:31I don't drink all the time.
00:25:35We'll save the rest for mimosas tomorrow.
00:25:37Breakfast?
00:25:39You're very sure of yourself, Casanova.
00:25:45Your virtue is safe with me.
00:25:47Your virtue is safe with me.
00:26:18I won't let your darkness consume me.
00:26:31So you think darkness can consume light?
00:26:35That's an interesting theory.
00:26:38I just threw some of my darkness to those candles and
00:26:42nothing happened.
00:26:43Don't be so damn condescending.
00:26:45You know what I mean.
00:26:49Julianne, I won't lie to you and say that I'm not attracted to your luminosity.
00:26:56But I have no wish to consume you.
00:27:00I don't.
00:27:02I don't.
00:27:04But I have no wish to consume you.
00:27:09If I'm the darkness, then
00:27:13then you're the stars.
00:27:20I won't let you fuck me.
00:27:23I would never fuck you.
00:27:28One doesn't fuck an angel.
00:27:34Then what does someone like you do with an angel?
00:27:39Someone like me would cherish her.
00:27:44Try to get to know her.
00:27:48Start by being friends, perhaps.
00:27:52Is it too hard to believe that I want to take my time?
00:27:56That I want to get to know you?
00:28:00Yes.
00:28:04Julianne, this is near to me.
00:28:08Your prejudice is warranted to some degree, but
00:28:12but don't deliberately try my patience.
00:28:34I know you're partial to chocolate.
00:28:49You need to let me feed you.
00:28:54I'm not a child.
00:28:57I'm not a child.
00:29:00I'm not a child.
00:29:03Then stop acting like one.
00:29:07Trust me.
00:29:09Please.
00:29:34The act of feeding someone is the
00:29:37ultimate act of care and affection.
00:29:41Sharing yourself
00:29:43with someone else for the food.
00:30:03Think about it.
00:30:06We're fed in the Eucharist.
00:30:10By our mothers when we were infants.
00:30:15By our parents
00:30:17when we were children.
00:30:20By friends
00:30:23at dinner parties.
00:30:28By a lover
00:30:30when we feast on one another's bodies.
00:30:35And on occasion
00:30:39when we feast on one another's souls.
00:30:41Feast on one another's souls.
00:30:58Don't you want me to feed you?
00:31:07You don't want to feast on my body, but at least
00:31:09feast on my cake.
00:31:12Last chance.
00:31:13I...
00:31:19That wasn't so bad, was it?
00:31:27May I?
00:31:40No.
00:31:54See how nice it is to be cared for?
00:31:59See how nice it is
00:32:02to be cared for
00:32:04by me?
00:32:09Spend the night with me.
00:32:13What about our conversation?
00:32:16We had enough talking today.
00:32:19We can talk tomorrow
00:32:21when both our heads are
00:32:24clear.
00:32:28I want you in my bed tonight.
00:32:39I will be the perfect gentleman.
00:33:10To the open arms around me if I leave
00:33:17But the destination's nameless if I go
00:33:24Good night, Julia.
00:33:26Would you catch me, baby
00:33:30Would you catch me, baby
00:33:34If there's time
00:33:37You're leaving?
00:33:42I said that I wanted you in my bed and I meant it.
00:33:46You're safe here.
00:33:49To carry the weight of two
00:33:52Now would you catch me, baby
00:33:56Would you catch me, baby
00:33:59Would you catch me, baby
00:34:02Would you catch me, baby
00:34:05Would you catch me
00:34:12Lead me down the paths I cannot see
00:34:18And set me free
00:34:25Would you catch me
00:34:32Between the lines
00:34:36And the matters that are grey
00:34:39Where I hide
00:34:43In darkness and despair
00:34:46Would you find
00:34:49The muscle and the strength
00:34:52Oh, would you catch me, baby
00:34:56Would you catch me, baby
00:34:59Would you
00:35:03Would you catch me
00:35:10Lead me down the paths I cannot see
00:35:17And set me free
00:35:23Would you catch me
00:35:28I tried but I couldn't stay away.
00:35:33I don't want you away from me.
00:35:47Why did you take your photos down?
00:35:53I was ashamed.
00:35:57You weren't before.
00:35:58Before?
00:36:01That was before I decided to bring an angel to my bed.
00:36:05Between the lines
00:36:08And the matters that are grey
00:36:11Where I hide
00:36:14In darkness and despair
00:36:17Would you find
00:36:20The muscle and the strength
00:36:24Oh, would you catch me
00:36:28Would you lead me down the paths I cannot see
00:36:35And set me free
00:36:41Would you catch me
00:36:48Would you catch me
00:36:58Would you catch me
00:37:16Good morning, Julianne.
00:37:18I stepped out for a brief moment.
00:37:20Make yourself at home.
00:37:22Take soap, Gabriel.
00:37:28Thank you.
00:37:58Thank you.
00:38:28Thank you.
00:38:48Good morning.
00:38:56Would you mind?
00:38:59Thank you.
00:39:02Did you sleep well?
00:39:04Once I was beside you, I did.
00:39:06As did I.
00:39:18You're shivering.
00:39:20You make me nervous.
00:39:22Why?
00:39:24I never know if you're going to be sweet
00:39:27And whisper something that takes my breath away
00:39:30Or say something so mean it breaks my heart.
00:39:37I'm sorry.
00:39:40There's no excuse for that.
00:39:44I find you difficult to talk to sometimes.
00:39:49You're only forthcoming when you're furious.
00:39:51That isn't true.
00:39:53It's just me.
00:39:57Why did you light candles in your room last night?
00:40:00I remember what you told me about the darkness
00:40:03And I wanted you to see Holliday's painting
00:40:06And I was worried you'd run.
00:40:13Thank you.
00:40:15I'm a good lover
00:40:17In all senses of the word.
00:40:24Are you hungry?
00:40:27Very.
00:40:54You're seriously sexy.
00:40:57Don't make fun of me.
00:41:00I would never make fun of you.
00:41:24You said we'd talk.
00:41:43What happened the morning after our night in the orchard?
00:41:48My mother died.
00:41:49After our night in the orchard.
00:41:53My memory's a little
00:41:55Fuzzy.
00:42:03I woke up for sunrise
00:42:06Alone.
00:42:10Gabriel?
00:42:11Gabriel?
00:42:19Gabriel?
00:42:21You left me there.
00:42:24Gabriel?
00:42:26Gabriel?
00:42:28I was terrified.
00:42:41Where you went
00:42:43I didn't leave you.
00:42:45What are you talking about?
00:42:47I woke up early, you were
00:42:49Sleeping in my arms
00:42:51And I didn't want to wake you up.
00:42:54But I needed to
00:42:57Relieve myself.
00:43:00But I returned
00:43:02With apples for breakfast.
00:43:07Beatrice
00:43:08You were gone.
00:43:14I came back to my room and I
00:43:18And I fell asleep.
00:43:20Why didn't you try to find me?
00:43:23When I woke up I asked where Beatrice was.
00:43:26Richard told me I was delusional.
00:43:29No one mentioned you or your name.
00:43:31I
00:43:33I thought it was a dream.
00:43:36How could you?
00:43:38How could you think that?
00:43:41I was hungover and I was
00:43:43Confused.
00:43:45And I was strung out on coke.
00:43:52Rachel didn't tell you?
00:43:55Richard knew I was on something
00:43:57When he picked me up the night before.
00:44:01He searched my room
00:44:04Found my stash
00:44:06And when he confronted me I
00:44:08The fight with Scott.
00:44:11I spent the most romantic night
00:44:13Of my life with a guy
00:44:15Strung out on coke
00:44:17With a stupid
00:44:19Stupid girl.
00:44:21You're not stupid.
00:44:23I'm the fuck up.
00:44:25I was planning on killing myself that night
00:44:27And you changed that.
00:44:29I thought you were an angel
00:44:31And that God perhaps
00:44:33Has shown mercy to me
00:44:35And sent you to save me.
00:44:37Why did you want to kill yourself?
00:44:46I can tell you that.
00:44:50I don't know what would happen
00:44:52If I brought those old demons back.
00:44:59Are you still suicidal?
00:45:01No.
00:45:02Part of my depression
00:45:04Was caused by the drugs
00:45:06And part was caused
00:45:08By other factors
00:45:10That I was trying to deal with
00:45:12In my life.
00:45:25Quoting Dante
00:45:27You can't change what happened.
00:45:33I won't get involved
00:45:35With a drug addict.
00:45:37I've been clean for six years.
00:45:39I won't get involved
00:45:41With an alcoholic either.
00:45:43My mom was one.
00:45:45I admit I drink
00:45:47But I'm not addicted to alcohol.
00:45:49I'm not that same naive
00:45:51Seventeen year old girl.
00:45:53No you're a beautiful woman Beatrice.
00:45:55Stop saying that.
00:45:57It's an illusion.
00:45:59It was real.
00:46:00As soon as I touched you I knew.
00:46:02I remembered you.
00:46:04My body remembers you.
00:46:07It was only my conscious mind
00:46:09That I had forgotten.
00:46:11I know I've hurt you.
00:46:14And I know I have a dark side.
00:46:18Will you let me show
00:46:20What I can do?
00:46:22Will you let me show
00:46:24That I can be good?
00:46:27I can be very very good.
00:46:31This isn't how I imagined it.
00:46:35Finding you again is so different
00:46:37From how I dreamed.
00:46:41You aren't who I thought you were.
00:46:44You came to me last night
00:46:46And it was all there.
00:46:48Every feeling, every
00:46:53Every memory
00:46:55Every sensation
00:46:57I had came back.
00:46:58Tell me meant nothing to you
00:47:00And I let you go.
00:47:06Your skin remembers me
00:47:09And so does your heart.
00:47:29Last night you talked about being friends.
00:47:33Friends don't kiss like that.
00:47:37I want to court you.
00:47:42And I intend to kiss you a lot.
00:47:51I won't be shared.
00:47:54I'm not in the habit of sharing
00:47:56What's precious to me.
00:47:59I won't share you either.
00:48:05You may not sleep with anyone else
00:48:08Even while I'm still
00:48:10Deciding.
00:48:12Done.
00:48:14What about Paulina?
00:48:17Don't worry about her.
00:48:19Is she your wife? Ex-wife?
00:48:21No.
00:48:23What about M-A-I-A?
00:48:25The tattoo on your chest?
00:48:26Stop.
00:48:27I can't.
00:48:28Then either can I.
00:48:30Tell me what made you feel so insecure about yourself.
00:48:33Hmm?
00:48:35Was it Simon?
00:48:38You said it in your sleep and you sounded upset.
00:48:43Tell me.
00:48:44No.
00:48:45Why not?
00:48:47Because it makes me sick.
00:48:51He
00:48:53He didn't force you, did he?
00:48:54No.
00:49:01We both have secrets we don't want to tell.
00:49:07I won't lie to you
00:49:09But I can tell you everything.
00:49:12I know I've disappointed you.
00:49:16I wish I was the knight rather than the dragon.
00:49:18You can banish me
00:49:21Or save me with a single word.
00:49:49I should go.
00:49:56I need to prepare for my meeting with Professor Becton.
00:50:01When will I see you again?
00:50:04At your seminar next week.
00:50:06It's too far off.
00:50:09Dinner?
00:50:10I can't.
00:50:12You're still my professor and I'm your student.
00:50:18Oh.
00:50:37The figure of Beatrice.
00:50:39A study in Dante by Charles Williams.
00:50:41Catherine would be impressed if you're familiar with it.
00:50:45Thank you.
00:50:48Goodbye, Gabriel.
00:51:19It's Gabriel Emerson.
00:51:21I need to speak to John immediately.
00:51:25Tell him I'm on my way to see him.
00:51:27Thanks.
00:51:49Julia Mitchell, I presume.
00:51:51Yes.
00:51:52It's wonderful to meet you, Professor Becton.
00:51:54Please, sit.
00:51:58Your grades from St. Joseph's are impressive.
00:52:01Thank you.
00:52:03But if I'm to be your advisor, I'll need more than good grades.
00:52:10I'm sorry.
00:52:12I'm sorry.
00:52:14I'm sorry.
00:52:16I'm sorry.
00:52:19I fell in love with Dante when I was 17.
00:52:23Ever since then, he's haunted my dreams.
00:52:26Continue.
00:52:30My professional advice is to stay away from her.
00:52:33Impossible.
00:52:34Is she at least over 18?
00:52:36What?
00:52:37Please tell me you're not screwing a freshman.
00:52:39Don't be vile, John. She's a grad student.
00:52:41Oh, good.
00:52:43I can't state for sure without first seeing the non-fraternization policy,
00:52:45but you're likely putting your job in jeopardy if you're sleeping with a student.
00:52:48We're not sleeping together.
00:52:50Keep it that way.
00:52:52No sexual activity whatsoever, and it doesn't matter if it's consensual.
00:52:55Got it?
00:52:59But what if we're involved romantically and not sexually?
00:53:03Are you kidding me, Emerson?
00:53:05I'm that serious.
00:53:07Would our platonic relationship violate that policy or not?
00:53:10Given your reputation?
00:53:12Regardless of your gender,
00:53:13the employer would still have to provide evidence of a sexual nature.
00:53:17Unless you're Chiquita...
00:53:19Don't call her that.
00:53:22Unless she or someone else files a complaint against you.
00:53:25And if they can't prove it?
00:53:27If they can't prove you were fucking,
00:53:29you'd likely receive a reprimand for an improper relationship.
00:53:32But I can't state for certain without first seeing the policy.
00:53:39Thank you.
00:53:41Thank you, John.
00:53:43And Gabriel,
00:53:45stay out of trouble.
00:53:47No girls, no fistfights,
00:53:49no public drunkenness, nothing.
00:53:51Any lawsuit with the university will expose your past.
00:53:54Remember that.
00:54:06Julian, it's Gabriel.
00:54:07Julian, it's Gabriel.
00:54:17What are you doing here?
00:54:19Dinner.
00:54:27Nice towel.
00:54:30I'll change.
00:54:38Thank you.
00:54:49What's all this for?
00:54:52Just a little something to celebrate Catherine agreeing to be your advisor.
00:54:57How do you know she agreed?
00:54:59She told me.
00:55:01She also told me that you impressed her greatly.
00:55:04I didn't think I would when she said my subject was derivative.
00:55:07Instead of comparing courtly love and lust,
00:55:10I'm going to examine aspects of friendship between Virgil and Dante
00:55:14with the theme of courtly love.
00:55:16So instead of lust and love, it'll be love and friendship?
00:55:23Sounds appropriate.
00:55:26What about the non-fraternization policy?
00:55:29As long as we're chaste and discreet,
00:55:32I don't think we'll have a problem.
00:55:38Does that mean no kissing?
00:55:44Do you want me to kiss you?
00:55:47You can't be kissing me one moment and grading my essays the next.
00:55:52True. I'll ask Catherine to grade your work.
00:55:56Now, where were we?
00:56:01Is this just an affair to you?
00:56:04No.
00:56:05No.
00:56:07No, I want us to get to know each other.
00:56:12I want to spend as much time with you as possible.
00:56:16And once the semester is over, we can see where this is going, but
00:56:20that's entirely up to you.
00:56:27I'm at your mercy.
00:56:30This is a declaration of desire.
00:56:33If we were lovers, I would have kissed you like that
00:56:37just to signal my intention to take you to bed.
00:56:40But for now, I can only declare that I burn for you.
00:56:49Let's eat.
00:56:51I promise not to stay late.
00:57:00I don't want you to go.
00:57:13What was that?
00:57:17I want you to stay with me.
00:57:29Okay.
00:57:51Good morning.
00:57:59Good morning.
00:58:17By that, Dante means...
00:58:29I love you.
00:58:59I love you too.
00:59:29I love you too.
01:00:00Here I sit in my burning cell
01:00:05Summer sun beating harder than hell
01:00:10I need your love like the air I breathe
01:00:14I need it more than you could ever believe
01:00:19And you give, and you give, give it to me
01:00:23And you give, and you give all that I need, oh
01:00:28And I take, and I take the blood that you bleed
01:00:33And you give, and you give, give it to me, oh
01:00:38And you give, and you give, give it to me
01:00:42And you give, and you give all that I need, oh
01:00:47And I take, and I take the blood that you bleed
01:00:51And you give, and you give, give it to me, oh
01:00:57And I take, and I take the blood that you bleed
01:01:02And you give, and you give, give it to me, oh
01:01:07And I take, and I take the blood that you bleed
01:01:12And you give, and you give, give it to me, oh
01:01:21Are you going home for Thanksgiving?
01:01:23Yes. Are you?
01:01:25Yes.
01:01:27Would you consider flying with me?
01:01:34I'd like that.
01:01:40I don't like Thanksgiving.
01:01:43But Grace made it nice.
01:01:46We didn't really celebrate.
01:01:48Why not?
01:01:50During my last Thanksgiving with my mom,
01:01:54she was on a bender with one of her boyfriends.
01:01:58I decided to cook a Martha Stewart recipe.
01:02:02I put all the food on a tray to carry it to the table,
01:02:06and her boyfriend stuck out his foot and tripped me.
01:02:09Everything went flying.
01:02:12Were you hurt?
01:02:14I don't remember.
01:02:16Sharon just laughed at me.
01:02:19And then she got bored and went into her room to...
01:02:24They didn't even bother closing the door.
01:02:29My God.
01:02:47What's the scar from?
01:02:51You can tell me.
01:03:02Sharon hit me.
01:03:07I fell and hit my head against the corner of the bed.
01:03:12I fell and hit my head against the corner of the kitchen counter.
01:03:19I called my dad in the hospital and said
01:03:23that if he didn't come and pick me up,
01:03:27I was gonna run away.
01:03:33And that was it.
01:03:37I never saw my mom again.
01:03:41Never again.
01:03:47I'm sorry that those things happen to you.
01:03:53I'm pretty lucky, actually.
01:03:56Sharon only hit me once.
01:03:59No one hits me here.
01:04:04And I have a friend who feeds me.
01:04:08You should have been cuddled and adored
01:04:12and treated like a princess.
01:04:16I don't believe in fairy tales.
01:04:19I'd like to make you believe.
01:04:38Do you have any scars?
01:04:42You can't hit something that you don't know is there.
01:04:46I'm sorry.
01:04:49It's difficult to know what's worse,
01:04:52being hit or being ignored.
01:04:56I guess it depends on the kind of pain you prefer.
01:05:02Happiness is something I know precious little about.
01:05:06Why aren't you happy now?
01:05:10I bartered my birthright for a bowl of potage.
01:05:20Yes, I can quote scripture.
01:05:23I'm not a pagan.
01:05:26Richard and Grace were devout Episcopalians.
01:05:30Richard and Grace were devout Episcopalians.
01:05:35I only go to Mass when I'm sad.
01:05:39Or at Easter or Christmas.
01:05:43I still believe even though I don't live like it.
01:05:48I know that makes me a hypocrite.
01:05:51All believers are hypocrites
01:05:54because none of us live up to our beliefs.
01:05:56But if you still believe, you have hope.
01:06:00Happiness is possible for you too.
01:06:08I lost my soul.
01:06:13What do you mean?
01:06:18I've committed the sin to death.
01:06:27Do you believe there's a difference
01:06:30between right and wrong?
01:06:33Of course.
01:06:36Knowing isn't the problem.
01:06:39It's the doing.
01:06:42Only a creature with a soul
01:06:45can tell the difference between right and wrong.
01:06:49You make mistakes, but you feel remorse.
01:06:52You make mistakes, but you feel remorse.
01:06:58You still have your soul.
01:07:02A chance at redemption.
01:07:09I want to see you Friday night.
01:07:12After your lecture?
01:07:15I'll have to come up with an excuse for Paul.
01:07:18We're going together.
01:07:22Did we or did we not have an arrangement
01:07:25that excluded sharing?
01:07:28We're friends.
01:07:31He asked me to go. I didn't think it was wrong.
01:07:35Do you want me to see other women as friends?
01:07:38Go into public events with them?
01:07:41No.
01:07:43Then extend me some courtesy.
01:07:46Being a grad student in a strange city is lonely.
01:07:50Please don't make me give up
01:07:53the one friend I have apart from you.
01:07:56Then I really will be isolated
01:07:59since I can't be around you all the time.
01:08:02Julianne, I'll concede that you need a friend.
01:08:06But he needs to realize
01:08:09that you're no longer available.
01:08:11He's far too invested as it is,
01:08:14and that could create a problem for us.
01:08:21I'll tell him I have a boyfriend.
01:08:25And his name is Owen.
01:08:28And his name is Owen.
01:08:54Look at him.
01:08:55A vest and a pocket watch?
01:08:58How old is this guy?
01:09:01I bet he has a personal portrait in his attic
01:09:04that's aging rather rapidly.
01:09:09Who's that next to Professor Martin?
01:09:12Professor Singer.
01:09:14She's the worst.
01:09:16She's known as Professor Pain.
01:09:19Pain?
01:09:21She's at NASA now.
01:09:23You should check out her website. It's pretty hardcore.
01:09:29Better yet, don't stay away from her.
01:09:33I do.
01:09:39He feels so overdressed.
01:09:42You look nice.
01:09:46Boyfriend's a lucky guy.
01:09:54Professor Martin invited me to the faculty dinner after,
01:09:58and he said I could bring a guest.
01:10:01Want to go?
01:10:04As friends?
01:10:07Welcome.
01:10:11Lost in Dante's Inferno,
01:10:15the deadly sin against the self.
01:10:18Immediately, one might wonder why
01:10:22lust would be a sin against the self,
01:10:26since it is always directed toward another,
01:10:30the use of another human being
01:10:33for personal sexual gratification.
01:10:38Evil can only feed off of goodness,
01:10:42like a parasite.
01:10:44If all the goodness of a creature were eliminated,
01:10:46then the creature in question would no longer exist.
01:10:49You're making the connection between Virgil and Beatrice.
01:10:53Dante is expressing his notion that
01:10:56courtly love
01:10:59is tied to reason rather than passion.
01:11:05But what of lust?
01:11:08If love is the rabbit,
01:11:12then lust is the wolf.
01:11:15Dante says so explicitly
01:11:18when he identifies lust as a sin,
01:11:21a sin in which passion overtakes reason.
01:11:25In Dante's philosophy,
01:11:28lust is a misplaced love,
01:11:31but a kind of love nonetheless.
01:11:34For this reason,
01:11:37it is the least evil of the seven deadly sins.
01:11:40In contrast, lust, which is a mortal sin,
01:11:46is love.
01:11:50Dante argues that a lover is related to his beloved,
01:11:54as if
01:11:58his beloved
01:12:02were a part of himself.
01:12:05Emerson!
01:12:09Come sit.
01:12:12I've ordered sangria for everyone.
01:12:19I'm sorry.
01:12:21I'm sorry.
01:12:23I'm sorry.
01:12:25I'm sorry.
01:12:27I'm sorry.
01:12:29I'm sorry.
01:12:31I'm sorry.
01:12:32I'm sorry.
01:12:45Looks like Emerson and Singer had it again.
01:12:48What?
01:12:50They had an affair.
01:12:52And from the looks of it,
01:12:54it never ended.
01:12:56They dated.
01:12:58Singer doesn't date.
01:12:59She's into pain and control.
01:13:07That means he's into...
01:13:10S&M.
01:13:12Yeah.
01:13:30Hi.
01:13:36Excuse me. I need to use the ladies' room.
01:13:53Please don't come to dinner.
01:13:55Go to my place.
01:13:57The concierge will let you in.
01:13:59Do as I ask.
01:14:01G.
01:14:03My phone was off.
01:14:30I'm Professor Singer.
01:14:32It's a pleasure to meet you.
01:14:35Julia.
01:14:41Do I make you nervous, Julia?
01:14:44No.
01:14:46If you'll excuse me.
01:14:49Did you like watching what I was doing to Emerson under the table?
01:14:53Because I saw you looking.
01:14:56I?
01:14:57I think I've made you blush.
01:15:00In fact, I think I've made you blush all over your body.
01:15:05I think you want me to tease you.
01:15:09You'd make a very pretty pet.
01:15:13I'm not interested in being anyone's pet.
01:15:17Feisty.
01:15:19I like a feisty pet.
01:15:21I'm a human being, not a fucking animal.
01:15:24Human beings are.
01:15:25Human beings are animals, my dear.
01:15:28We share the same physiology.
01:15:31The same reactions to stimuli.
01:15:34And we have the same need for food, drink and...
01:15:38sex.
01:15:40I know what an animal is.
01:15:43And I have no interest in being fucked like one.
01:15:46If you change your mind, come and find us.
01:15:50Us? Not a chance in hell.
01:15:56She towed me!
01:15:59It's me.
01:16:01I saw Senior follow you. What did she do to you?
01:16:04She invited me to become her pet.
01:16:07This is what I wanted to avoid.
01:16:09You're like a lamb to a wolf.
01:16:11She only noticed me because I caught her molesting you under the table.
01:16:15She's goading me.
01:16:17It's a game for her.
01:16:19I can't react.
01:16:21Well, I can and it's disgusting.
01:16:23Please. You're shaking. Tell me if she hurt you.
01:16:25I handled it.
01:16:27But tell me, did you let her hurt you?
01:16:30What did Paul tell you?
01:16:32Enough.
01:16:34Are you into that sort of thing?
01:16:36This is not the place to discuss it.
01:16:38Do you still want her?
01:16:40No. No, never.
01:16:42It was just a couple of encounters.
01:16:44It was over a year ago.
01:16:46Is she one of the women in your photos?
01:16:48Fuck no. Those were women I liked.
01:16:50Julian.
01:16:52I can't explain this here.
01:16:53Please.
01:16:57I don't understand why anyone would not choose kindness.
01:17:03Life is painful enough.
01:17:13Go to my place.
01:17:15I'll meet you there later.
01:17:18Please.
01:17:19I feel like I have no idea who you really are.
01:17:24And that hurts.
01:17:36I'm not feeling well. Sorry.
01:17:38I'm going home.
01:17:49Bye.
01:18:19Bye.
01:18:49Fuck.
01:19:19Fuck.
01:19:50You're still here.
01:19:53I was worried you wouldn't.
01:19:55So was I.
01:20:20You look so beautiful tonight.
01:20:27I'm sorry I had my boots on your sofa.
01:20:30Take them off.
01:20:32Please.
01:20:33Let me.
01:20:36I've been admiring them all night.
01:20:49Fuck.
01:21:20Fuck.
01:21:41It's okay to voice your pleasure.
01:21:45It reassures me that I don't oppose you.
01:21:49You don't repulse me.
01:21:52I'm glad to hear that.
01:22:12Are you into...
01:22:13What kind of pain Singer provides?
01:22:17No.
01:22:20But you were with her and you let her hurt you.
01:22:23She didn't hurt me.
01:22:26She left no scars.
01:22:28Only regrets.
01:22:30Not all scars are physical.
01:22:44I can't be with someone who hits.
01:22:52It is not in my nature to be violent with women.
01:22:57Rather, to be seductive.
01:23:01Anne was an exception.
01:23:04Why her?
01:23:06Why that exception?
01:23:08I was in a dark place.
01:23:12I thought she could help me and...
01:23:15Then I was wrong.
01:23:18And I figured that out quickly.
01:23:21What if the darkness comes back?
01:23:25You dispel the darkness, Beatrice.
01:23:30Julianne.
01:23:32I can't bear the thought of someone hitting you.
01:23:36Promise me you'll never go back to her.
01:23:40I'll never ask for anything but that.
01:23:48Nobody has shown me the way.
01:23:51I'll never ask for anything but that.
01:23:54Nobody has shown me such kindness.
01:24:00Your family has.
01:24:04Just open your eyes.
01:24:09My beautiful, innocent angel.
01:24:14My beautiful, innocent angel.
01:24:27I'm not that innocent.
01:24:34I'm a virgin.
01:24:36But you can't have this idea that I've never done things before.
01:24:40I mean...
01:24:43I had a boyfriend and we dated for years.
01:24:48Simon?
01:24:51And we did things.
01:24:53What kind of things?
01:24:57I don't want to know.
01:25:05Did he hurt you?
01:25:09No.
01:25:15He...
01:25:17was impatient and manipulative.
01:25:24He told me I was rigid.
01:25:28Bastard.
01:25:33It wasn't all his fault.
01:25:40Did you love him?
01:25:44No.
01:25:50Kiss me.
01:25:53I want to kiss you all the time.
01:25:57But I don't want to make you feel pressured.
01:26:01So sometimes you'll need to take the lead.
01:26:09I apologize for your desires.
01:26:14You're beautiful.
01:26:17And sensual.
01:26:22But we have to stop.
01:26:39Happy birthday, darling.
01:26:42Please do me the honor of gracing me with your presence
01:26:45at the Royal Ontario Museum
01:26:47this Saturday evening at six o'clock.
01:26:50Yours with affection and deepest longing, Gabriel.
01:27:09Good evening, Miss Mitchell.
01:27:11The host is waiting for you upstairs.
01:27:13And I'll take your coat.
01:27:15Thank you.
01:27:40Hello, handsome.
01:27:51You look stunning.
01:27:59Gabriel.
01:28:01We're in public.
01:28:09Sorry.
01:28:16A corsage?
01:28:19I missed your prom.
01:28:40How did you arrange all this?
01:28:42I donated a large sum to the Florentine exhibit last spring, so...
01:28:46I thought I'd give it to you.
01:28:48Thank you.
01:28:50You're welcome.
01:28:52Gabriel.
01:28:54Gabriel.
01:28:56Gabriel.
01:28:58Gabriel.
01:29:00Gabriel.
01:29:02Gabriel.
01:29:04Gabriel.
01:29:06Gabriel.
01:29:07The exhibit last spring, so...
01:29:09I called in a favor.
01:29:14Florentine, please.
01:29:16Tonic water with a twist of lime.
01:29:19I have wine at home for us.
01:29:32It's so quiet in here.
01:29:38You are the vision.
01:29:42It's going to take all my self-control not to
01:29:46spread it away to the Victorian furniture exhibit
01:29:50so I can make love to you in one of the four poster beds.
01:30:04Thank you.
01:30:05Thank you.
01:30:35Thank you.
01:30:54Stunning.
01:31:03I agree.
01:31:06I agree.
01:31:20Don't worry.
01:31:22I'll get the tape of our rectangle against the wall first thing in the morning.
01:31:25You better.
01:31:33It's beautiful.
01:31:35Happy birthday.
01:32:05Thank you.
01:32:21I love it.
01:32:36Thank you.
01:32:57This is the nicest birthday I've ever had.
01:33:06And it's not over yet.
01:33:11Let's start with dessert first.
01:33:14Chocolate cake.
01:33:16Again, the candles don't move.
01:33:33Hello?
01:33:34Hello, Jules.
01:33:40How did you get this number, Simon?
