Noah: Previously on The Affair...

Those of you who knew my dad will-will know that we didn't always get along so well, but I-I loved him.

That was a lovely service.

You're coming back to the house though, aren't you?

Oh, uh, I don't know.

Do you think we should come back to the house?

Only if you want to.

How was teaching this week? You have any fun?

Not really.

I thought it was really elegant, Audrey.

(SCOFFS)

I thought it was very dull, unless it was supposed to be a satire.

Was it?

Juliette: Hello. You just popped up out of nowhere.

Ah, bienvenue, Monsieur Solloway.

Je suis Professeur Le Gall.

I'm just so pleased to finally meet you.

I feel that you and I are kindred spirits.

Woman: Silence is v*olence!

All: Silence is v*olence!

Was there a r*pe?

I'm not sure.

I thought I'd come to America and have a grand adventure, and instead it's, uh...

Instead, it's New Jersey.

Noah, are you all right?

Yeah. I'm okay.

Officer Santos, who knows I'm here?

What do you mean?

Noah: I'm just wondering if it's possible for anybody still inside Fishkill to find out my current address.

Santos: Why are you asking, Solloway?

Noah: Never mind. It's... it's not important.

Aah!

It's a lovely day, Professor.

Do you have anything planned?

Just preparing dinner for a few people tonight.

Oh. Coq au vin?

We shall see.

(CHUCKLES)

Professor Le Gall? We don't want to bother you.

We just wanted to say that we're loving your class.

Yeah. I thought medieval French literature was gonna be boring, but you're not boring at all.

Well, thank you.

I believe love is never boring, even 900 years ago.

What are you reading, Professor?

Oh, this I'm afraid is very boring.

Andreas Capellanus.

It's part of my research.

Girl: Are you enjoying your time here?

Boy: Are you glad you came?

It's very exciting to be in America.

Tomorrow:

"Lancelot, ou le Chevalier de la Charrette."

Come prepared with questions.

Okay.

Of course. Bye.

Audrey: How can you possibly call this an ambiguous case?

Mike: She got into bed with him of her own accord.

Audrey: It doesn't matter.

She did not want to give Nicholas Perry a blowjob.

Are you saying that you're okay with forcing a woman against her will to give you a blowjob?

For f*ck's sake, Audrey. Of course I'm not saying that, but this specific lady gave no indication that she didn't want what he was giving her.

Oh, I'm sorry, Mike. Were you there?

She admits it herself. She does.

She admits she swallowed.

(GIRLS GROAN)

Mike: What? Oh, come on.

Grow up. Could we not just at least maybe... maybe consider the idea that she was on board here?

Audrey: Mike, every two minutes someone is sexually assaulted in our country.

Do you know how often the perpetrator is punished?

Less than one percent.

Thanks.

Audrey: Thank you. Yes. And do you know why?

Because it's because of this exact conversation, because we don't believe our victims.

We make them feel like they asked for it.

Mike: Okay. I'm just trying to have a dialogue, but if you're just gonna recite a Planned Parenthood pamphlet at me...

Audrey: Oh, my God. what's the point to it?

I can't believe I ever slept with you.

(CHUCKLES) Okay, all right.

So that's what this little tirade is really about, right?

Right, Audrey? Admit it.

What I will admit, Cornwall, is that I wanted to f*ck you at the time, and I regretted it after, but because I'm a cognizant human being who is able to determine and articulate my own desire, I did not bring r*pe charges against you, even after I found out what a giant turd you are.

But if we had had sex against my will, that would have been different.

Do you understand that distinction?

Yes. I understand the distinction.

Do you think I'm capable of understanding that distinction?

Frankly, right now I'm just terrified of you, Audrey.

Oh, my God. You're a f*cking d*ck.

Whoa! Come on. It's the coq au vin.

Audrey: I'm sorry, Professor. I'm sorry.

I just... he's... I-I can't. I can't... please tell me it's not like this in France.

It's not at all like this in France.

It's much worse.

Audrey: What?

Juliette: Yes.

I'm afraid the whole topic is still not taken seriously.

Mike: Oui? C'est bon.

You're very lucky to be surrounded by such enlightened chaps such as myself and Blake.

Professor.

Juliette: It's curious, though.

In this case, the two parties agree on what happened.

She gave him a blowjob. He didn't force her to.

No, he didn't.

But they don't agree on the meaning of the act.

He said she wanted to.

She said she didn't.

Is that right?

She didn't consent.

But he didn't force her.

Mike: No.

But she didn't consent.

That's very confusing, isn't it?

No. Not to me.

Juliette: Yes.

I see that it's quite clear to you.

But I live some decades now, and there's a lot about what I want that I don't understand and that I don't expect a lover to understand.

Professor Le Gall, please tell me that you see the problem here.

Juliette: I see problems, I do.

But I think we all live in our own version of the truth, and thus we are prone to terrible miscommunications.

Perhaps she was trying to communicate one thing, and he read something else.

That's possible, isn't it?

Yes. Of course it's possible.

That's why the university needs to establish and enforce a mandate of verbal consent.

I understand how such a thing would protect the university, but I don't see how sex itself would survive.

Why not?

Because I am afraid the articulate is the enemy of the erotic.

Isn't the whole point that you don't know what your lover will do next?

That you give yourself over to a sensory experience that you haven't planned and can't control?

The reason I like sex is that I can finally, for a moment, turn off my neurotic mind and just be consumed.

If I give my lover permission... yes, no, uh, touch me, not there... don't I undermine the potency of his desire?

♪♪♪

I'm sorry. You're all looking at me like I'm crazy.

Do I sound crazy?

No.

Well, Professor Le Gall is a love expert.

Professor Le Gall is a courtly love expert.

Mike: What's your point?

Audrey: Besides the fact that this manner of thinking has been out of date for 600 years, was written entirely by men wherein the women served as the object of male desire, but had no voice of her own.

So perhaps we can forgive Professor Le Gall for assuming that the articulation of female desire is somehow anathema to sexual satisfaction.

But with all due respect, Professor, I would argue that she simply never learned the appropriate language, because I can tell you exactly how I want you to f*ck me.

Believe me, I remember.

Audrey: And Lila can tell you exactly how she wants you to f*ck her.

Hard.

Audrey: And if you give me 45 minutes, I can teach Professor Le Gall to tell you exactly how she would like you to f*ck her, though you would not be given the opportunity in a million years.

Oh, forgive me.

I think I hear the soufflé falling.

Ahh.

I have to have you right now.

Oh, Mike, no.

speaking French

No, no, no.

No, no.

Anybody could walk in.

Who gives a f*ck? Come on.

No. Mike, no.

Professor... I'm so sorry.

I didn't mean to offend you.

You... you didn't.

Yes, I did. Of course I did.

I behaved like a total assh*le.

I just... ugh, it's Noah Solloway.

He just makes me so agitated.

I mean, I didn't know he was gonna be here.

I mean, why did you invite him?

We bumped into each other on the quad, and he seemed rather lonely, so...

I'm taking his class. Did I tell you that?

You didn't.

Well, I am, and he's a complete d*ck.

I mean an utter assh*le, and all I can do is think about f*cking him.

Mike: So do it.

Seriously, Audrey. What's stopping you?

Jesus!

That he's your professor?

That he's twice your age?

That he's an ex-felon? But you're so liberated.

Oh, my God, Mike, why are you so obsessed with me?

Mike: Obsessed with you?

Audrey: Yes.

I'm trying to have a private conversation with my professor.

Do you mind?

Yeah, I do mind, Audrey, because I was here first.

Today romantic love has replaced Christianity as a doctrine for enforcing the ideal of monogamy, and the French realize all this is unrealistic.

What happened to Noah? Did he leave?

No. He went upstairs. He said he wasn't feeling well.

Lila, tell me you agree with me.

The French recognize marriage for what it is: a social construct created to protect property.

I agree with that... with that one statement out of everything you said tonight.

Lila: Just don't be that happy.

Blake: You... you like... you just like disagreeing.

(MUFFLED CONVERSATION CONTINUES)

Oh, hi.

Hello.

I was... I was looking for a quiet space.

I hope you don't mind.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

I haven't been around that many people in a long time.

Takes some getting used to again.

Hmm.

Are they always like that?

The students? You tell me.

It's your country.

I am just a visiting professor.

What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?

Uh, I'm here because the library claims to have unearthed certain pages from a rare manuscript that I happen to be an expert on.

Really? What is it?

Les Esches d'Amour.

The Chess of Love.

It was written in the 14th century.

And this library thinks they have some missing pages.

Mmm.

Do they?

I'm not sure yet, but if I had to wager a guess, I'd say no.

How long have they got you for?

I'll teach until the end of the semester.

I've promised my husband I'd be home for Christmas.

Long time to be away.

Yes, but they gave me this generous residency, and this house, and the cutest little red car.

I love that car.

Is this your, uh...

Yes.

C'est Etienne.

With my daughter, Sabine, many years ago.

She's all grown up now.

She a medievalist, like her mom?

No, but my husband is.

A very famous one.

A famous medievalist?

Yes. In certain circles.

That's how we met. I was his student.

Do you think it's true what Audrey was saying downstairs?

What was Audrey saying?

That she knows exactly what she wants from her body.

From men.

From everything.

♪♪♪

I think Audrey is...

I think Audrey is very young.

Yes.

But I don't ever remember feeling that confident, even when I was her age.

Maybe she really does know exactly what she wants.

Maybe this younger generation simply understands themselves better.

Maybe the uncertainty that I've always assumed is integral to eroticism... doesn't exist for them.

What... what is she talking about?

Did I get stabbed?

Why doesn't he know that?

I'm-I'm very sorry, Mr. Solloway.

You were att*cked by someone with a Kn*fe.

You bled profusely.

They took you to surgery where Dr. Quittner closed the artery off.

Jesus.

You were very lucky.

The blade missed your airway, and your jugular vein, and just nicked your artery.

Helen: Who did this to you?

I don't know.

I-I-I don't remember.

You can't remember anything?

No.

Could this have been an accident?

Maybe I f-fell or something.

It was a Kn*fe, Noah.

He should be home in a couple of days.

He doesn't live with us.

Ligaya: Um, Mr. Solloway, I need to ask you a few more questions. I'm sorry.

And then I'll let you rest.

Can you tell me, do you have a history of any previous surgeries?

He had his appendix out ten years ago.

That's it, unless you count his wisdom teeth.

No.

I think you were what, 25 or 26?

Ligaya: It's not relevant.

What about medications?

Helen: No. He doesn't...

Are you currently taking any?

Helen: He hates medication.

He won't even take Tylenol when he has a fever.

I'm on Vicodin.

What?

Ligaya: Dosage?

7.5 milligrams.

I had a shoulder injury. I'm... the pain gets pretty bad.

Is that getting worse? Who's treating you?

I have a prescription, Helen.

From who?

Is there anything I can get for you, Mr. Solloway?

No. Thank you very much.

That's a good idea. Your father could use some rest.

Helen: Can you bring your sister down to the cafeteria and get her something to eat and I'll meet you guys there, okay?

You must have been frightened.

I actually don't remember it happening.

Strange.

I'm afraid I've also forgotten... why you were there.

I was angry.

Why?

I don't know.

I guess I was hoping that you... that this wouldn't be so complicated.

Are you all right?

Oui.

Bonne nuit.

It would look very bad if you were to drop dead at my home.

Bonne nuit.

Detective Stanton? Hi. It's Noah Solloway.

I think I know who att*cked me.

He's a guard at Fishkill named John Gunther.

The guy's a real monster.
