Indiscretion

If you were to close your eyes right now,

what would you see of that terrible, horrific night?

How did you feel as a mother, as a wife?

When I close my eyes,

I see it happen

over and over again.

It just plays on a loop in my mind, all the...

And I imagine

what I could have done differently.

I don't believe in a world

where things are meant to be.

I believe that we are responsible

for our own actions.

And within that world, is there any room for forgiveness?

I mean...

Can we be forgiven for our terrible mistakes?

And can we forgive other people who have hurt us?

It's a mighty challenge. Um...

Or do we just force ourselves to forgive

in some fashion and move on?

Honey, can you help me find my new tie, please?

The gold one.

Sure, honey.

Got it.

Mom, what time are we leaving?

Now. Honey, why aren't you dressed?

Mid-term election season now,

and there are a number of big issues at play this year.

Uhuh, uhuh. A full week in Baton Rouge?

...will likely lose seats in both the House and the Senate.

-You look so handsome. -Is that really necessary?

And his endorsement?

Okay, then we'll... we'll do what we have to.

All right, thanks, Neil.

So?

Well, apparently the governor is still on the fence.

I'll just have my dad talk to him again.

Well, at least I can count on your vote.

Oh, I don't know.

The election's still a little ways away.

- Hey, now. - Mom, I need earrings.

-Where are the hoop ones? -Lizzy, what are you wearing?

-It's a cocktail dress. -Oh, hell no.

Come on, it's what everyone wears.

And you are a politician's daughter,

and you have to think more elegant, sweetheart,

and longer and higher.

-Yeah, much longer. -You two are so boring.

I never get to do anything fun.

- Love you. - Love you more.

Well, I guess we're boring.

Oh, I'm okay with that.

I'm just not okay with that.

You two have one question apiece. That's it.

Councilman Simon, you've been very vocal

in your support of gun control.

Are you afraid of disenfranchising your base?

Uh, no, I'm not worried because I believe what I say,

and I think folks appreciate a man who speaks from the heart.

This has been a highly contested Senate race.

How do you plan to sway undecided voters?

Well, I have a secret weapon,

these two lovely ladies right here.

My husband is the most qualified candidate,

and he has served the people of this city

for eight years on the council.

He's a successful attorney

with countless hours of public service,

and he's a great father and husband.

Although I may be a little biased on that last point.

Okay, thank you. Thank you.

Councilman, what about the rumors of the alleged affair?

Could this be contributing to your slump in the polls?

Internet gossip has nothing to do with my husband's platform

and the real change he will bring

to this state as senator of Louisiana.

All right, now if you'll excuse us.

Our family's here to support the local arts community

and this wonderful cause tonight, so...

Thank you. Thank you, all.

Thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you.

So there we have his position on gun control is unchanged.

Not really addressing the rumors of an affair,

other than really letting his wife speak for him this evening.

We are here live in New Orleans in the Warehouse District.

Now back to you.

They just blindsided us.

I mean, at least give us a heads-up.

Our daughter's here. Do you know how she must feel?

I'm really sorry, Veronica.

Ronnie, Ronnie, go easy on him, honey.

Neil can't control everything, okay?

Come on, let's go have some fun, all right?

Hey, nice to see you.

Beautiful in here, isn't it?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Those guys alone are worth half a million to the campaign.

-Where? -Right over there.

Politics and prostitution, one and the same.

Ah, you've made your bed, Senator.

Hello, sexy and husband.

Wow, Harper, you look stunning.

Flattery will get you everywhere and everything.

Okay, all right.

Well, Veronica's right, you've got to do this.

Okay, I guess I got to go prostitute myself again.

Look at all these doable guys.

Harper, if you were my patient,

I would have you committed for sex addiction.

Sign me up.

How about that one?

I wonder how much he costs.

I bet that guy gets whatever he wants.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, oh.

It's one of my former patients.

He used to come to the VA programs that I volunteer for.

Oh, this is really embarrassing.

Veronica? Veronica?

Yeah?

You look like you need a drink.

I certainly do. Oh!

There is no easy way to begin this interview,

so let's just jump in.

Now, your husband, he never admitted to having an affair.

Yet the rumors continue to circulate.

How did that make you feel?

I think one of the worst feelings in the world

is when you... when you feel deep down

that maybe you were actually lying to yourself.

You know, and...

...telling yourself that everything is okay

and that your husband still loves you

just as he always did and that he still wants you.

I don't know, I guess I felt like

a little bit like a failure as a woman

that I didn't have it anymore,

whatever that would be, that...

My mother.

Excuse me?

Video image, it's my mother.

Oh, okay. I'm sorry.

Wow, she's beautiful.

Thank you.

This is very haunting.

I like it.

My work explores the curse of memory.

You know, the inability to let go of the past.

I use recycled materials, mannequins, TVs, old car parts.

I mean, anything that people throw away.

That way we show we can't appreciate

what you have until it's gone.

Can't or won't?

You know, I don't always get what I want.

Oh, my God! You heard that.

Oh, that's terrible.

So how do you know Doc Harper?

Oh, she's my best friend and colleague.

We share an office together.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate aggressive women,

but I don't think there's anything wrong

with sweeping a woman off her feet.

I mean, call me old-fashioned,

but I do miss chivalry.

Well, hello, old-fashioned. I'm Veronica.

I'm Victor.

Victor is one of a kind.

I'm Rebecca. I'm with the gallery.

Are you interested in acquiring Victor's piece?

Maybe.

Just give me a call, and we'll figure something out.

But don't think about it too long.

Victor's going to be the next big thing.

I just know it.

So it would seem.

Would you mind if I stole Victor away for a second?

I just have to introduce him to a few more people.

Be my guest. Bye, Victor.

Good luck with the show.

Hey.

Hello.

Oh, honey.

What are you doing?

I'm trying to seduce my husband.

Shh.

Mmmm...

Mmm... honey.

Honey, I really

I need to finish evaluating this report.

Even you need to take a break sometimes.

Relax.

Don't answer that, please.

I got to take this. It could be important.

Yes, Neil.

Okay, hold on. Let me look for it.

Um... I don't have it.

It's in my office.

I'll be right back.

Yeah, no, I read that.

I haven't finished it yet, but I will.
