Darker Shades of Summer (2023)

[bunniefuu]

(Logo sizzling)

(Suspenseful music)

(Glasses clink)

(Fingernails tapping)

- Hard day?

(Briefcase thuds)

Please.

- [Dylan] Thanks.

Yeah, I'm gonna need this.

(Glasses clink)

(Briefcase unzipping)

- Oh.

You're feeling really tense.

(Dylan sighs)

- Not now, sums, all right?

I've had a hard day.

- You know something

else that could be hard?

- Thank you, but I'm not

in the right frame of mind

for this at the moment, all right?

They're really riding me at the moment,

and I'm barely keeping my head above water,

and no more innuendos, all right,

I just wanna come back, relax,

and just wanna get

this work done, all right?

Finish off this summons?

- [Summer] Okay.

(Glass clinks) (Laptop shutting)

- [Dylan] All right, I'm

gonna get a shower.

We having takeout?

- Look, I've cooked.

I thought we'd get a little,

you know, skip to dessert?

- Let me get a shower, all right.

It's been a long day, yeah.

- No.

Let's talk about this.

Why do I get the feeling that

you don't like me anymore.

- That's not, that's not the case.

I do like you. - Uh huh?

- Yeah, I'm just, look,

I'm under a lot of pressure

at the moment, and

this ain't helping, all right.

I don't want to let you down,

or the people on this case.

- Oh, don't explain yourself.

It's fine, I get it, you

don't want me anymore.

- I do want you, all right.

Don't take it personal, I just don't think

I physically can at the moment.

- Do you know how long it's been

since we've had sex, f*cked even?

- Three weeks?

- Two months.

- It's not been that long.

- Oh, it has, I can assure you.

- All right, it's been a

long time, but I love you,

and I want to be with you, so...

- You just don't want to

sleep with me anymore.

- You're twisting my motives now

to suit this mood you're in.

That's not what's going on here at all.

- Well, it seems like it to me.

- All right, are you saying you

don't want me to have a job?

- No, of course that's not what I'm saying.

- Well, it sounds like it.

- Well, you don't...

- What, you want me to stay

here all day, and do f*ck all?

- And now you're just being

mean because you feel guilty.

- I don't feel guilty.

All right, I provide for us.

- I also have a job.

- Sorry, I forgot.

(Summer scoffs)

(Summer inhales sharply) -

Why are you being like this?

- I'm sorry.

I've not been attentive.

- And short-tempered.

- Yes, it's this case,

I'm only on it for one

more week, all right.

- I really don't like it

when you're on these

kind of cases, you know.

- No, I don't like it either.

All right, okay, how about this?

- Mm hm.

- All right, once this case is done,

I'll take you away, okay?

Somewhere elaborate and expensive,

with the finest silk sheets, huh?

- Mm hm. - And maybe some new outfits.

- It better be somewhere really elaborate.

- It will be, all right.

Anything you want, money's

not an option, all right?

- Anything I want?

- Anything.

- Okay.

- But until then, my d*ck's

out of business, all right?

- It's a shame.

It's a really good d*ck.

(Summer chuckling)

- Thank you.

(Kiss smacks)

(Tense music)

(Summer and Steph laughing) (Glasses clink)

- [Steph] This has been nice, hasn't it?

- [Summer] Very nice.

- Well, next time you see me,

I'll have been on holiday out of town.

(Summer groans)

- Is everything working out for holiday?

You're looking really good, ya know?

- Thank you.

Uh, kind of, I mean,

you could say I've been

working out a little bit, I guess.

- Tell me.

- I've just been working out

with a few different people.

- [Summer] People, what plural? (Laughs)

(Steph laughing) -

Yeah, you could say that.

Yeah, I've just joined this club.

- What kind of club?

- It's very exclusive.

- What, what, too exclusive to tell me?

- I don't think you wanna know.

- [Summer] Yeah, you

know, when you say that,

I want to know.

(Both laughing) Come on.

- Okay, have you ever heard

of the website "til we meet"?

- No.

- Okay, so I got a

request from my ex, like,

a few months ago.

- Oh, not that, not, not that

hipster with the beard. (Laughs)

- Oh no, not him, that's gross.

But yeah, it's just, I don't know,

it's just, I've got this new lease of life,

like, opened my eyes to

this whole new, sort of, world.

- So, what was it?

- Swingers.

- Swingers? (Laughs)

- Yeah. (Laughs)

- What, like, sharing partners?

- Yeah, well, no, just,

there's more to it than that.

But basically, yeah.

- I know you, it's just, it's not like you.

- Well, do you know what?

I thought that I wouldn't

be the type of person

to do that anyway,

but I did, and it opened my eyes.

Yeah, I go to all the different clubs.

I go all out.

- I don't think I could

do something like that.

- Yes, you could.

I think you could.

- [Summer] No. - I thought the same thing.

- Well, I'll have to think about it.

I mean, and there's also Dylan to convince.

- Oh, god, Dylan doesn't

have to know about it.

- [Summer] What?

- Yeah, you could just, I don't know,

just go to the ones

where all you do is watch.

Or there's girls only nights

actually, they're quite fun.

- What ones do you go to?

- [Steph] Oh, I go all

out, I go all the way.

(Summer laughing)

- I just don't think I could.

Plus, I don't know, I just

feel like it'll be cheating.

Why are relationships so hard?

No one tells you that.

I mean, one minute

you're fused at the pelvis,

the next thing you're just rowing over

what to order for dinner,

and tired, and fed up.

- I know, I honestly know the feeling.

But f*ck committed relationships, summer.

Seriously, like, this world

has just opened my eyes.

And if I was ever to go with anyone again,

they'd just have to

accept this part of my life.

Like, dumping Chad was the best thing

I could have ever done.

And committed relationships are nice

and you love him, he loves you,

but where's that animal passion gone?

Where's that intensity gone?

Well, you've been together so long.

You both need to just let your hair down.

- [Summer] You're right.

- You know, and you, it might spark some

passion again for you both.

So, just have a think about it.

- I guess you're right, probably.

(Doorbell chimes)

- sh*t, oh, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, he's here.

- What?

- He's coming around, he wants round two.

I'm so sorry, I didn't

realize he'd be this early.

You're gonna have to go. - You're joking?

- Hm mm. - Right, okay.

I'll speak to you later?

- [Steph] I'll speak to you later.

- [Summer] All right,

okay, I'll speak to you soon?

- I'll call you soon, yeah.

It might take all afternoon.

- [Summer] Oh! (Laughs)

- Bye!

- [Summer] Bye.

(Glass clinks) (Steph sighs)

(Footsteps thudding)

- Oh, my bag.

(Intense music)

(Steph groaning)

(Intense music continues)

(Hand smacks)

(Footsteps approaching)

- What are you doing?

What is all this?

- Waiting for you.

Trying to liven it up a little bit.

- How's that?

(TV in background playing) - Oh, f*ck me.

- Sit down.

- I don't have time.

- This won't take long.

(TV in background playing) (Woman moaning)

- Not a good time for this.

- Tell me, do you like to watch?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, take this off.

Take your clothes off.

Hmm hmm.

Watch me, watch me touch myself,

as we watch another couple.

Watch me touch myself,

as I watch another couple.

(TV in background playing) (Woman moaning)

Let's see how much you like to watch.

Touch yourself.

Watch me touch myself,

as I watch another couple.

(Summer moaning)

Do you like how much it gets me off,

watching another couple?

Touch it Dylan.

(Dylan moaning)

Touch it.

- It feels good.

- [Summer] Yeah?

- Yeah.

- [Summer] Would you like

to see me with another man?

- Hm?

- [Summer] A big strong man

touching me, caressing me.

Letting my body please him.

Oh.

What would it do to you?

To see me with another man?

(Summer groaning)

- Don't stop.

- Mm, a stranger with big, strong hands.

Oh, putting them on

my waist as he fucks me.

(Summer's moaning intensifies)

- Don't stop.

- Oh, he picks me up, and he penetrates me.

- Don't stop.

- Oh, he fucks me in my p*ssy.

(Summer's moaning intensifies)

Oh, it's so hard.

Oh.

- f*ck.

(Suspenseful music intensifies)

(Both moaning and groaning)

(Both climaxing)

- Did you like that?

- That was interesting.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

- Would you like to do it again?

- Yeah, would you?

- I mean, properly.

- What do you mean properly?

- As in, would you like to

do the things that we said?

- You're not making any sense.

- Would you like to see

me with another man?

- What?

- There's this place, okay.

It's about, about two hours away from here.

It's totally anonymous,

there's no last names.

No personal stuff, nothings.

It's like a weekend resort.

- You're serious.

- Thinking about it.

- What, and you'd want to

see me with another woman?

- I don't know until you try.

I don't know, it could

be really good for us.

- All right, what's gotten into you?

- Nothing's gotten into me.

It's, like, it could be an experience.

Look it, if we don't like it, we can leave.

You know, it's totally anonymous.

No one has to know.

- We'd know.

(Summer laughing and sighing)

- Look, you said that we could start again.

Go away somewhere.

Anything I want, remember?

That's what you said.

- Yeah, I did say that,

but clearly I wasn't expecting this, was I?

- All right, look, if you

don't want to go, that's fine.

- This is a trick, right?

If I say, yes, then you...

- No, no, I'm being totally serious.

Come on.

- What, you really think

we're strong enough

for something like that?

- Yeah, I do.

- Let me think about it, all right?

- Okay.

Yeah.

- All right.

(Kiss smacks)

(Suspenseful music)

(Hands patting)

- What are you doing home so early?

(Dylan sighs) - Okay.

- Okay?

- Yeah, let's do it.

- Really?

- Yeah, I love you.

(Both laughing)

- We're gonna do it. (Giggles)

We're really doing this.

- Yeah.

Oh, hm.

Yeah.

(Summer laughing)

(Summer yelps) (Dylan laughs)

(Suspenseful music)

- Okay, ground rules.

Something happens, and

one of us doesn't like it,

we both stop.

Okay? - [Dylan] Mm hm.

- The safe word is gonna be, Cosmopolitan.

No last names, no taking

numbers, no nothing.

Everything that happens there stays there.

Everything that does

happen has gotta be done

in front of the other person.

No going into a room on your own.

Okay, we're in this together.

Yeah?

- Yep, okay.

- And under no circumstances,

is there gonna be any kissing.

Anything else goes, but kissing, no,

I'm not gonna allow it, it's too personal.

- All right.

- Promise?

- Yeah, of course, yeah.

- Promise.

(Suspenseful music continues)

(Car doors shut)

(Fountain trickling)

(Car trunk slams)

(Gravel crunching)

(Door opening)

Oh, thank you.

(Suitcases thud)

(Door closes)

Hmm.

(Kisses smack)

- [Claire] Hello?

(Door shuts) (Footsteps approach)

Welcome to allure.

My name is Claire, and I'll be your liaison

for the duration of your stay.

You have access to most

facilities during your stay,

but there are some

areas which are off limits,

but you won't be needing those.

They're mostly for staff.

Let me show you to your rooms.

(Footsteps pattering)

This is a safe place.

So, just please be respectful to the rules.

You're gonna use first names here.

So, the staff are working here.

They're not part of the experience.

(Summer laughs)

This is your room.

Once you've settled in,

you can enjoy the

communal areas and the bar.

But I don't expect you'll be

spending much time at the bar.

(Summer laughing)

- Hey! - What?

- Were you looking at her ass?

- No. (Laughs) - You were.

(Both laughing)

- Look, you sure you want do this,

'cause we can turn around, ya know?

- Course-

(kiss smacks)

Course I'm sure. - Are you sure?

Yeah. - Course I'm sure.

- Okay.

- You're getting excited?

- Yeah. - Yeah?

- Excited, but I'm nervous.

Like, I've not done

this with another person

for a long time, and how about you?

- I don't know, a bit of both.

- Well, let's just relax, all right.

'Cause we'll let the rules guide us, yeah?

- Mm hm.

- Just take it as it comes, all right?

- Yeah.

- I love you.

- I love you too.

(Suspenseful music)

(Door opening)

- Oh, welcome.

- Hey.

- It looks like we've

got a couple of virgins.

- Sorry?

- A couple of virgins, you

know, new to this place,

and you look like you

probably haven't had sex before.

(Group laughing)

- Uh, yeah, of course, it's our first time.

- I remember our first time.

- Like it was yesterday.

(Kisses sucking)

- You've been doing this long?

- A year or two.

Time flies when you're having fun though.

- Don't be fooled though.

There's still a lot of things

that we've not tried yet.

- Well, I'm summer, and

this is my husband, Dylan.

- We don't use words

like that here, you know,

husband and wife.

- Partner would be fine.

- Okay, this is my husband, Dylan?

Oh, no, sorry.

I'm nervous, I'm nervous. (Mya laughing)

I mean, this is my partner, Dylan.

- I'm Tom, this is Maya.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Oh, hello.

- Oh, hi you two! - Hey, you!

- Must have been months.

- Oh, I didn't think I'd see

you back here so soon.

f*ckin' hell! (Kiss smacks)

Come on, let me see this. (Hand spanks)

- Whoa, save that for later, you horn dog

(group laughing)

And who are you?

- I'm summer. (Laughs)

- Summer, like summer sun?

Alex, and this is Didi.

- Ah, good evening everyone.

Please take a seat.

(Chairs scraping)

Welcome to the chateau allure.

I will be your host for

the duration of your stay.

My name is Simon.

I see a few familiar faces,

and some new ones.

If there's anything you need,

the staff here are more than capable

of handling most requests.

But if there's anything

in particular you need,

something you might feel to be

a little above their pay grade,

then please feel free to come to me,

and I'll do my best to sort it out.

(Door opening)

Ah, more guests.

- Sorry we're late, we

got a bit hot and bothered.

(Trist and Penelope laughing)

- Oh, that's quite all right ladies.

Come, come, sit down.

This is trist and Penelope.

- Hi.

- Ah, where was I?

Now, if there's anything you need,

feel free to come to me,

and I'll try and accommodate.

We're all adults here, and

we have all chosen to be here.

So, my advice is, choose

to make the most of it.

Oh, and I see the party

has already started.

I shall bid you all, good night.

Oh, and remember, be safe,

and have a bloody good night.

(Group cheering and applauding)

- Who wants a drink?

I'm buying.

- I'll have a Martini, please.

(Trist and Didi laughing and kissing)

- I'm just gonna go get a

little bit of fresh air, okay?

- You all right?

- I'm fine, stay here-

- you sure? - No, no, sit down.

(Kiss smacks)

Back in a minute.

- All right.

(Door squeaks)

(Footsteps clacking)

(Summer sighs)

- You must be summer.

- Ah, yeah, hi.

- Simon.

- Pleasure to meet you.

- Your first time?

- Is it that obvious?

- Well, just a little.

- Do you get involved?

- Not strictly, but I have been known to.

- It's a, it's a beautiful place.

Is it yours?

- Yes and no.

- [Summer] Mm, are you always

so vague with your answers?

- Why are you so interested?

- Sorry. (Laughs)

- Hey, it's quite all right.

I actually inherited

the place, not the club.

- I'm gonna go back

inside, it's my husband.

Sorry, my partner.

- See you soon.

(Birds chirping)

Morning.

- I wasn't expecting

anyone to be up this early.

- Mm, the best part of day is

watching the sunrise in the sky.

- It's beautiful out here.

- Yes, are you coming in?

- Okay. (Giggles)

Is it warm?

- It's beautiful.

(Water splashes)

Mm, how was your evening?

- Mm, it was okay.

How was yours?

- Oh, I don't kiss and tell.

(Summer laughing)

- This water's lovely?

- Yes, it's beautiful isn't it?

- Turn the bubbles up?

- Let me get those buttons for you.

- It's an interesting pendant.

- Oh, this old thing.

Somewhat of an heirloom.

Been handed down for generations.

Reminds me of home.

- Oh yeah, where's home?

- You really are inquisitive, aren't you?

(Summer laughs) - Sorry.

I just find you interesting.

- I've never been

called interesting before.

- Really?

Well, I think you're interesting.

I wonder how someone like

you ended up in a place like this.

- Is that some sort of line from a movie?

- Sorry. (Laughs)

Sounds like it doesn't it?

- The question is,

how does a person like you

end up in a place like this?

- I suppose something, I don't know...

- Is it because you are

looking for something?

- This is getting personal. (Laughs)

- No, it's just small talk

as far as I'm concerned.

- You're very sly.

- How so?

- Anyone would think that

you are flirting with me?

- Maybe I am.

- I thought you didn't

participate with guests.

- Well, not usually,

but there's something about you, summer.

(Dylan and Mya laughing)

Don't worry about that.

- What are you doing?

- That's why you're here.

You relax, it's okay.

Something about you, summer.

(Summer sighs)

I just can't put my finger on it.

(Summer sighs deeply)

(Suspenseful music continues)

I can see you're distracted.

Maybe another time.

(Water splashing)

- Cheers.

- Mm.

(Glasses clink)

- That's nice.

- That's good isn't it.

I like your bikini.

- Really?

- Yeah, scooch.

- [Mya] Hey gorgeous. - Hi.

- [Dylan] Hi, sums. - Heya.

- Do you mind if we join you?

- No, of course not.

- Hey.

(Water splashing)

(Mya gasping)

(Suspenseful music intensifies)

(Dylan groans)

(Mya gasps)

(Trist and Penelope moaning)

(Summer gasps)

- You prefer watching don't you?

- Mm hm.

- What's it you feel?

- I don't know.

- You do know.

(Trist and Penelope moaning)

- Don't stop, no, don't, no don't stop.

No, don't, don't, don't stop.

(Summer moaning)

(Summer climaxing)

(Waves crashing)

(Footsteps crunching)

- How are you feeling?

- Feeling good.

- Yeah?

- So, how's your morning been?

- Eventful.

- Oh?

- Yeah, just taking in the

surroundings, you know?

- Is that a euphemism?

- Something like that.

- Well, as long as you're doing something.

I mean, I missed you in the jacuzzi before.

I, I looked up and you'd vanished.

- I just thought I'd give you

a little bit of space, you know.

- You don't resent me for that, do you?

- No, course not.

- Good, 'cause I don't

want this to become a thing,

all right, I just-

- I know.

- I just want you to be happy, yeah.

- [Summer] I am.

- [Dylan] Good.

You looked amazing last night.

- Thanks, so did you?

- Yeah?

- Yeah, it's strange seeing

you from a different angle.

- Good strange or bad strange?

- Definitely good.

(Kiss smacking)

- Summer, I love you.

- I love you, too.

- Hey tonight, it's

gonna be good, isn't it?

I've got my mask ready, yeah. (Laughs)

- Let's have a look?

- Oh no way. (Laughs)

That is gonna look amazing.

(Both laughing)

(Waves crashing) (Footsteps crunching)

(Suspenseful music)

(Suspenseful music intensifies)

(Phone ringing)

- [Caller] This is the last time.

Do I need to come down

there, and sort it out myself?

- [Simon] No, you don't need to do that.

- [Caller] Good.

Because I don't like long journeys.

If you embarrass me

again with corrupt video files,

then we're going to be having some words.

Is that what you want?

- No, it won't happen again.

- [Caller] I'm relying on you, Michael.

My clients rely on these videos,

and I don't like disappointing my clients.

If you can't supply,

then I'll have to find someone else.

You are dispensable.

- I supply a grade-a product.

Nobody can give you

what you need like I can.

Yes, I f*cked up.

But I am not dispensable.

- [Caller] Everyone is dispensable.

- But nobody knows this business like I do.

If you replace me,

then you'll get sh*t for

the first few months,

and it wouldn't look too good on you

if the quality suddenly

drops now, would it?

- [Caller] Don't let it happen again.

(Ominous music)

(Keys jingling)

(Camera whirring)

(Footsteps approaching) (Simon sighs)

- Okay?

- Don't let my minuscule

problems ruin your night.

- Wouldn't worry about that.

- Why aren't you joining in?

- Just need a little bit of air.

- Mm, you and I are very much alike.

- Oh yes?

And how do you surmise that?

- We both like being

on the outside looking in.

- Are you saying that I don't enjoy sex?

- Oh, you enjoy it.

We enjoy it.

But watching gets the blood flowing,

and then intimacy is what keeps it flowing.

- Is that why you do this?

To watch?

- It's part of it.

- And what's the other part?

- Hope of finding

someone else just like me.

- Hmm.

(Intense music)

(Summer moaning and gasping)

(Guests chattering in background)

(Summer gasps)

(Summer moaning)

- Stay with me.

- Did you pack the toothbrushes?

Sums, sums, sums the toothbrushes?

- Oh yes, sorry.

They're um, they're in

the toiletry bag, babes.

- You all right?

- Yeah, of course.

- Was it something I did?

- No, no, no, it's nothing like that.

- Are you sure there wasn't,

there was something you didn't like?

- No.

I'm just looking forward to getting home.

- Oh, good.

You have fun?

- Yeah, did you?

- Yeah.

I feel closer to you actually, thank you.

- For what?

- This, like, not many wives

would be okay with this, you know.

- I'm not many wives, am I?

- No, you're extraordinary.

- Morning.

- [Dylan] Morning.

- Hope you had a good stay.

Simon would like to see you

downstairs if you have a minute.

- What's this about?

- Nothing serious.

- Okay.

- [Mya] You weren't there.

- [Tom] Oh, I'm sure it

couldn't have been that bad.

- [Mya] I'm not arguing about this,

I'm telling you about this,

I said stop, and he didn't.

- [Tom] Right, well, we're leaving now.

So, just forget about it, yeah?

- [Mya] You're just

brushing it under the carpet,

'cause that's exactly what he's doing.

A full refund might be enough

for you to keep your mouth shut,

but it is absolutely not

enough for me to get over this.

- [Tom] Mya, just-

- [Mya] No, I don't wanna hear it.

This is the last time

I'm swinging with you.

If you want to disrespect

me by taking his money,

this will never happen again.

Men, they're all the same.

Don't trust any of them.

(Footsteps receding)

(Summer sighs)

(Pool balls clacking)

- There something wrong?

- No, I just wanted to have

a chat with you in private.

- All right, well if

this is about the bill,

I was gonna pay up front on the way out.

- No, no, it's nothing like that.

- All right.

- Have you enjoyed your stay?

- It's been interesting.

- Interesting is good.

I've really enjoyed having

you here, you and summer.

- All right.

Thank you.

- [Simon] Curious, how would

you classify your relationship?

- Strong, yeah, very strong.

- Oh, you think so?

- Yeah.

Why are you asking?

- I'm merely asking your opinion.

Do you think your wife loves you.

- Summer?

- Yes.

- I don't like your tone.

What are you implying?

- [Simon] I'm merely asking your opinion.

Do you think your wife loves you?

- What sort of a question is that?

Of course she loves me.

- Oh, I beg to differ.

I've seen many couples

come through over the years.

Some are so comfortable with a relationship

that none of this phases them.

And then there's others not so strong,

and they're, well, they're

looking for a way out.

(Dylan chuckles)

- Do you know what, I

don't need to listen to this

all right?

Thank you for your

hospitality, but I'm off.

- You'll want to hear this.

I don't think you're strong enough.

- I think you're talking bullshit.

- I've seen the way summer looks at you,

and I've seen the way she looks at me.

- Yeah, you better watch your mouth.

- She wants to stay here with me.

- Bullshit.

- Ah, ask her.

- I don't need to ask her, all right?

She don't belong in a sh*t hole like this.

- And what's wrong with this life?

- Because we've got a good life, all right.

We've got a normal life.

- Ask her how much better

it felt with me inside her.

(Stick smashing) (Body thuds)

(Simon groaning)

- What are you doing?

- This assh*le has just told

me you wanted to stay here.

- So, you hit him?

- No, it wasn't like that.

He was saying some horrible sh*t.

- This is not how civilized people behave.

- Oh.

- Well is it true?

- Do you know what, I think you should go.

- What?

- You heard me?

I think you should leave now.

I don't even recognize you right now.

- You're gonna believe

that sh*t hole's point of view over me.

- I don't feel comfortable going anywhere

with you right now.

I saw what you did to Mya.

- Maya, what?

- Has this all been too much for you?

So much that you had to show off.

- Sums.

- You heard her.

- Shut up, you, this is

about me and my wife.

- Dylan, I think you should go.

Now! - This isn't you, summer.

Summer, what's going into you?

Summer?

- Simon, I'm so sorry.

- It's okay.

- Can't believe he did that.

- Some men are just like that.

- No, summer.

(Tense music)

(Door slams)

- Tell me how you ended up here.

- Oh, I don't like living in the past?

(Simon sighs)

- Humor me.

When you said you inherited this place.

I want to know how you ended up

as the person laying next to me.

- No, there's nothing really much to tell.

I grew up in London.

I was an only child.

- Mm.

- And I moved here when my parents d*ed.

- The upkeep must be pretty

high for a place like this, huh?

- I do okay.

(Summer chuckles)

(Simon groans and sighs)

- But how did you start this.

- By chance.

I was lost, stumbling through life,

finding no meaning in anything.

And then I came across this fixation

with watching other people,

and the rest, well, the rest is history.

- That was pretty vague.

One day I'm gonna know all your secrets.

- Maybe one day you will.

(Ominous music)

(Water splashing)

(Summer screaming)

(Both laughing)

(Summer moaning)

(Kisses sucking)

(Summer moaning and gasping)

(Ominous music continues)

(Door opening and closing)

(Shower sprinkling) (Didi

moaning and gasping)

(Door slams)

I don't understand why you're so mad.

- I'm mad because you

did that behind my back

in our bathroom.

That's meant to be

off limits to the guests.

- Only the staff rooms are off limits.

Anything else goes.

- You know what I mean?

- What are you talking about?

I thought you enjoyed watching.

- Watching is one thing

when it's a stranger,

or when we're together, but I don't know,

I thought you and I...

- You and I what?

Look, you're not making any sense.

- You said that you never

did anything with the guests.

- I never said never.

- All right, hardly ever.

- What is this about, are you jealous?

- Thought you were waiting

for someone, someone like me,

someone who enjoys watching.

- I was, I do.

Look it was just sex,

it didn't mean anything.

- It didn't look like nothing to me.

You know what, it looked

like you did that to hurt me,

out of spite.

- What do you want from me, summer?

(Summer scoffs) - I don't know.

- You do know, tell me.

- I don't.

- Don't say you don't know.

- I guess I thought this

was going to be different.

- Different how?

- You know, I thought we were a team.

- Grow up, summer.

This is real life, this is my job.

- Why are you being like this?

- Like what?

- So, so angry.

- Oh, this is not angry, summer.

You keep pushing my buttons,

and you might just see angry.

You want to go back

to your old life, is that it?

You want to just abandon me

after we're just getting started?

- No, I chose to stay

here with you, didn't I?

- Then act like it.

Come back to me when you wake up.

(Footsteps receding)

(Phone ringing)

- [Dylan] Hello?

Summer, can you hear me?

Summer?

Okay, look, I'm sorry I keep calling.

I just wanted to hear your voice.

I'm so sorry if it was

something I did, I'm sorry.

I know you, summer, you're my world.

I owe you everything and more.

I want you to-

I just, I want you to know this.

I'm sure that whatever

reasons you chose to stay,

they're your reasons and no one else's.

I want you to come back,

but if you've made your choice,

then I'm not gonna stand in your way,

I'll wait to hear from you,

but if I don't, just remember,

please remember that I love you.

(Phone beeping)

(Summer sniffling)

(Summer gasps and moans)

(Suspenseful music)

- Oh, yeah, oh oh.

(Bed squeaking)

(Ominous music)

(Footsteps pattering)

(Door squeaks)

(People laughing)

(Door opens)

(Ominous music continues)

(Simon inhales and exhales sharply)

- Simon, you said you weren't

gonna do this without me.

I don't like catching you in

the hot tub with other girls.

(Simon arguing indistinctly)

- This is what you signed up for.

- I didn't sign up for this.

You said it was gonna be different.

- It is different-

it's me and you... how is it different?

No. - I'm still going to do

what I want to do.

This is my house. - Oh, yeah-(indistinct)

- This is my house... our house,

you asked me to stay.

- You know this is my house.

- I thought we were a team.

- [Steph] I told you to be careful.

- Yeah, I'm not looking

for counseling right now.

- [Steph] I know, it's just,

I'm really worried about you.

- Yeah, I'm a big girl, you know,

I can take care of myself.

- [Steph] I don't doubt it,

but this world you find

yourself in, you know,

it's a, it's a monster, it can just

take a hold of you, and just drag you under

if you're not careful.

- You know, I've come to realize that.

How do you disassociate yourself from it?

- [Steph] It's tricky to juggle it,

and, you know, sometimes

you're not in the mood,

but it's, it's like an addiction.

You know, we're always looking

for the bigger thing to quench that.

- What does quench that thirst?

- [Steph] I'll let you know

when I've found it. (Laughs)

- I'm sorry.

- [Steph] For what?

- For being blinkered.

- [Steph] You don't

have to apologize to me.

I know what it's like.

I almost got lost in one of these things,

early on, you know, but

that's a story for another time.

- You'll have to tell

me that later. (Laughs)

(Steph speaking indistinctly)

I know, yep.

All right, should I call

you when I get back?

I know, I'll be fine.

(Footsteps clacking)

Yeah, look, I've got to go.

Bye.

(Suitcase thuds)

(Doors squeaking)

(Ominous music)

(Keys clacking)

(Light switch flicks)

- [Simon] Did you like that?

- What the f*ck is this?

- You don't seem pleased.

- Why would I be pleased?

Why have you got videos of me?

- [Simon] It's just a little insurance.

- What are you doing with this?

- What does it look like?

- Are you blackmailing me?

- It's not blackmail.

- It looks like blackmail to me.

Where are you uploading this to?

Why have you got videos of people?

- It's a guarantee.

You know more than most

about what goes on here.

And I can't have you

ruining what I've built.

- I have no intention of doing that.

- Regardless of what your intention was,

I can't have you expose what goes on here.

- But, there is nothing illegal.

What would they, why-

- you know about me.

- I know nothing about you.

Look, you're a closed book.

- Come now, you know

more than you think you do.

One wrong word, one

slip, and all this disappears.

- God, what planet are you living on?

- Look, I don't know exactly what you know,

or what you might string

together further down the line,

but I can't take that chance.

I need you here, you belong here.

This is who you are now, summer.

(Summer wincing)

If you leave, then this goes public.

- I'm gonna destroy it.

- Go ahead.

I've got backups.

- Who are you?

- I'm nobody.

- Nobody, who seems to have a lot to lose

from a nobody like me.

(Birds chirping)

(Door opens)

(Whip cracks)

You've been bad.

- How bad?

- Very, very bad.

- What's my punishment?

(Whip snaps) - Ooh.

- It's gonna be severe.

- Oh, I think I deserve it.

- You definitely do. (Whip cracks)

(Simon exhales)

- How will my punishment be exacted?

- I won't leave any marks.

At least not any visible marks.

(Ominous music)

(Summer groans and gasps)

- Did you like how a few hours ago,

I was inside of another girl?

(Summer screaming)

She won't be the last one,

so you better get used to it.

- Ladies and gentlemen,

we'd like to thank you

once again for coming out.

And remember, don't do

anything we wouldn't do.

(Kiss smacks)

That means anything

goes by the way. (Laughs)

Ca-ching, a toast.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

(Group whooping and cheering)

(Glass clinks)

(Group chattering)

(Kisses sucking)

(Guest laughing)

(Glass clinks)

(Door squeaks)

(Keys jingle) (Ominous music)

(Door shuts)

(Passport rustling)

(Papers and binders shuffling)

(Phone unlocks)

(Phone ringing)

- Dylan?

- [Dylan] Summer?

- I need your help.

- [Dylan] I haven't

heard from you in weeks,

and now-

- please, can we just not get into that?

- [Dylan] What's wrong?

- I need your help.

Can you come and get me?

- [Dylan] Right now?

- Yeah, please look, sorry,

I just didn't know who else to call.

- [Dylan] It'll take two hours.

- Just come, please, just

come as quick as you can.

- [Dylan] I'm leaving now.

- Thank you.

(Phone beeps)

(Summer inhales sharply)

(Guests moaning)

All right, everybody out.

(Hands slam)

- What the f*ck are you doing?

- Come on, this is not

a drill, everybody out.

(Footsteps receding)

Who are you?

- What?

- You heard me, who are you?

- Have you lost your f*cking mind?

- Your name's not Simon, is it?

- That's...

That is unfortunate.

Why couldn't you just be a good girl?

(Ominous music continues)

(Door knocking)

- Where's summer.

- She's gone for a walk.

- That's bullshit.

- I'm so sorry you've come all this way,

but she won't be back for a while.

- Well, then I'll wait.

- Dylan, would you prefer to wait inside?

- How long's she gonna be?

- Maybe an hour or two.

(Door closes)

Have a seat.

- I'd rather not.

- Suit yourself.

- Well, where's she gone?

- Like I said, for a walk.

- You know, I know that's bullshit.

- I really don't know what to tell you.

- Well, let's start with

what's happened here.

- What do you mean?

Lots of things have happened here.

- Don't be coy, all right?

She's called me.

Summer's called me and she was scared.

- And why would she be scared?

- You tell me.

- Oh, I wouldn't know anything about that.

- Well, do you know what, I think you do?

I think you've said something,

or done something to keep her here.

And I'm gonna find out.

- What exactly would that achieve.

- Enlighten me.

- Look, I didn't do or say anything

that she wasn't already thinking.

Summer is very special,

and I don't think you

ever really understood

just how special.

- Oh yes, I understood

perfectly, I married her.

- Marriage. (Laughs)

Piece of paper, it doesn't mean anything.

Summer is her own person

with her own thoughts and ideas.

And from what I could gather,

you never really gave her the freedom

to explore who she really is.

- And who is she really?

- She is summer, like the

season, warming, caring,

bringer of light to a cold world.

But she can also be ruthless and savage.

(Phone buzzing)

Very sneaky.

- Where is she?

- She's safe.

- I want to see her in person, okay.

I'm gonna ask her myself.

- I'm afraid that won't be possible.

- I'm gonna see her f*cking now.

Go get her.

(Simon sighs)

- Fine, wait here.

(Footsteps approaching)

(Statue bashes) (Dylan grunts)

(Ominous music)

- Summer?

Summer?

- [Summer] Dylan?

- [Dylan] Summer?

- No.

- I see you two have finally

decided to join the party.

- f*cking monster.

(Simon laughing) - Oh, oh, ouch.

You've really hurt my feelings. (Laughs)

- The f*ck you think you're doing,

this ain't a game.

- Trust me, I'm not playing.

- Is this is real life?

- Real life, yes, I like that.

It's been a while since

anyone's really reminded me that

there's a life outside of here.

Outside of my temple.

- Michael.

- I told you, you'd string

things together eventually.

Why couldn't you have just

left things the way they were?

- Who's Michael?

- [Summer] He is.

- I don't understand.

- It's not a secret, if you

keep telling everyone.

- You're a f*cking Michael.

- Oh, you're a f*cking

smart one, aren't you?

Yes, once it was Michael.

- Well, who the are you now?

- That's a complicated question.

Nobody really took an interest in me.

Not until I met you, summer.

I wanted to tell you everything.

Make you my partner, both

in business and pleasure.

- And help you sell

videos of people f*cking?

- That's what I was most worried about.

- What's she on about?

- Been recording everybody and everything,

and selling it to his clients.

- What kind of f*cking

sick bastard does that?

- What are you gonna do with us?

- I can't let you go.

If that's what you are thinking.

- You fucker.

- Ah, there's no use struggling.

Summer,

he's gonna be leaving here in a body bag.

(Summer crying) And I don't want you

to suffer the same fate.

We can still make this work.

- Get your f*cking hands off her.

- Shut up!

(Flesh ripping) (Dylan screaming)

(Dylan groaning)

(Summer screaming) (High heal striking)

- [Dylan] Go! (Summer screaming)

- You bitch!

(Door knob rattling)

You might be needing these.

(Summer groans) You

can't run for me summer.

(Suspenseful music intensifies)

(Door knob rattling)

(Footsteps clattering)

(Kn*fe clanking)

Oh, thank you.

That's very kind of you.

- Kink, kinks.

- Kinks?

What are you on about?

- Getting chased by a

man with a Kn*fe or a g*n.

Oh, the Kn*fe.

And it makes me...

Put it down there, and then...

It's always been a fantasy mine.

- Some kind of ploy.

- No, no, no.

- Some kind of ploy, summer?

- No.

- You playing with me?

- No, remember,

remember when you had

me on the snooker table,

and you said that you wanted me?

- I did.

- You remember?

- I do.

- But, you don't.

You don't. - No, no, no, it's part

part of the act.

- Okay.

Yes, you like being chased with a Kn*fe?

- Yeah, I do.

(Summer and Simon groaning)

- You're filthy.

(Summer groans)

- Oh, you make me so wet.

Oh, when you stuck that Kn*fe in his leg.

And I heard him scream.

Yeah, show me just how powerful you are.

- Yeah.

- Yeah. - Oh, yes.

How dirty can you be?

- One thing.

- What's that?

- Summer only lasts

three months of the year.

(Body thuds)

(Simon choking)

(Rope creaking)

(Ominous music continues)

(Rope continues creaking)

(Keys jingling)

(Ominous music intensifies)

(Sirens waling)

(Lighter striking)

(City bustling)

(Door knocking)

- Summer?

(Summer moaning and gasping)

- Yeah, yeah.

(Phone buzzing)

(Phone unlocks)

Hi.

- Hello, sum,

I'm gonna be an hour late this evening.

They're really f*cking me today.

- Ah, they're really f*cking me here too.

It's okay.

- Okay, yeah, I'll try not to be too long.

- Oh, okay.

See you later.

(Ominous music)
