The man is in his office. He has no more work to do so he’s trying to finish the book he started three days ago. His wife gave it to him.
Why don’t you understand that i do love you?
Everytime i want to be with you you just tell me: Ben... Ben’s waiting for me.. i can’t. I’m fed up of this. I want you just for me. No more lies, i want a normal life with you.
I want that too, but understand me... We have a child. At least, this shooting stuff is keeping him away from me. As far as i tell him i’m working for that movie, everything is ok. I only see him at night. I’m all day long with you.
The secretary enters the room.
Your wife called. She said: don’t wait for me tonight. I have more shots to take.
Ok, thanks! Anything else for today?
No, you can go home.
The man is taking the subway today... He has to finish his book.
Really, we need a plan. I can’t stand any more. I want you. Do it!
What?
What we’ve been talking about...
No...
Do it!
I can’t...
Do you love me?
Of course i do!
Then kill him. Look, take my gun. Tonight, in your room. No one will suspect you. Just do it before it’s too late. Let’s live our lifes.
The man arrived home. The kid is with his grandma. It’s raining outside. He doesn’t eat, he’s just going upstairs, in his bedroom, waiting for his wife. He loves her. He’s lying down, on their bed, on their red blanket, with just a soft spotlight turned on. He keeps reading.
Scared, the woman is trying to hide the gun into her blouse. It’s raining. All those memories with her husband come into her mind. He loves her, they have a beautiful child. But she wants something more. She’s all shaking. Because of the rain. She’s home. She’s going upstairs. She’s taking out the gun and she’s opening the door. Her husband is there, lied down on their bed, on their red blanket, reading the book she gave it to him... With the gun pointed at him, she can only say: Ben, i’m sorry...
