03:45Curtis?
03:52I enjoyed your company.
04:02What are dreams?
04:04I mean, we all have them, right?
04:07Is it an alternative universe?
04:10Or is it some sort of time that's taking us back?
04:15What about nightmares?
04:18Or is it possible to share the same dream with someone?
04:25I think we're going to wrap up early today, everyone.
04:28I'll see you all Thursday, alright?
04:35Michelle!
04:37Curtis, we talked about this.
04:39You just can't pop into one of my lectures.
04:43I know, I know.
04:45But I'm just here to take a smart, hardworking, beautiful woman out to lunch.
04:50I'm not doing this with you today.
04:53Michelle, I really need your help.
04:57What's wrong, Curtis? Having women problems?
05:01More or less.
05:03You okay?
05:06Not really.
05:08I've been having the same dream for the past two months now.
05:13Well, that's not necessarily a problem.
05:15I mean, people dream about the same things all the time.
05:18Sometimes it can be about conflict resolution.
05:20No.
05:22This is different.
05:25What do you mean, Curtis?
05:28I've been having the same dream about the same woman that I don't even know.
05:38Well, there can be hundreds of reasons for that.
05:42Maybe you saw her out somewhere and you were just really attracted to her.
05:46Maybe it's your childhood memory, you know, stimulating in your brain now.
05:52No.
05:55This feels different.
06:04Maybe you've done the impossible, Curtis.
06:08Maybe you've finally met your dream woman.
06:12Yeah, I don't think so.
06:16Is it possible to have met a dream girl that I've only met in my bed?
06:23Look, come on, Michelle. I didn't mean it that way.
06:29Curtis, I'm going to have to go, but I can tell that this is really important to you.
06:34I know you're still really upset with me, but I really, really need your help.
06:45Friday, one o'clock. Here. Okay?
06:49I'll come up with something, you know, for you then. Figure it out, all right?
06:54You're welcome. Come on.
07:04Yeah. Hold that look right there.
07:09And bring your hand up slightly and rest on your lips.
07:13Perfect.
07:15Now I'm going to get a little uncomfortably close, but it's going to look good.
07:25I'm not uncomfortable at all.
07:32Let him come back.
07:35Your phone rang.
07:40I'll be right back. Don't go anywhere.
07:49You not answering my phone calls now?
07:52Got me knocking on my own door. And why is the vault on the door?
07:55I locked it so the maintenance man can't get in.
07:58Oh.
08:00Hey, Jessica. Curtis, let me know when you're done with this.
08:04The maintenance man?
08:10You got to stop doing this.
08:13What?
08:15Sleeping with the models. Unprofessional.
08:19I'm not fucking anybody.
08:23Let's see.
08:26So are you even looking at the photos while you're taking them?
08:33Look, I have to fix the hair, the makeup, and the wardrobe.
08:45That's why we make a good team. Because I snap them and you fix them.
08:51No.
08:53So tomorrow we have a meeting at 2 o'clock with AGP.
08:57We're picking out new models for a calendar.
09:01You need to be there. Don't be late.
09:06Bet. Want to grab dinner tonight?
09:09Don't touch me.
09:13Are you listening to what I'm saying?
09:15Yes, I heard you. 2 p.m. But I'm hungry now. I could use a drink.
09:21I have plans.
09:24Plans?
09:27Plans. See you tomorrow.
09:45You're looking a little stressed.
09:47It's just sleep problems.
09:49Sleeping problems?
09:51I started taking melatonin. Shit is amazing.
09:54The last thing I want to do is fall into a deep sleep.
09:59What sleeping problems are we talking about?
10:10Evening, ma'am. How can I help you?
10:12May I have a glass of Merlot?
10:54Hey, are you okay?
10:59I mean, I'm up.
11:04Let me start over. How are you doing this evening?
11:08I'm good. Thank you.
11:16Can I ask you a question?
11:18Of course.
11:24Do I... Have we...
11:28Have we...
11:31Have we met before?
11:35I don't know. Maybe. I just moved here from Los Angeles.
11:38Did you go out there a lot?
11:40Los Angeles? Okay, okay.
11:44That's where I know you from.
11:47Is this what you say to all the women that you meet here?
11:53No. I don't come places like this like that unless I'm referring to someone.
11:58I see.
12:07So, you moved here alone? Boyfriend? Girlfriend?
12:17Okay, now that was a pickup line.
12:22Curtis, my wife.
12:27Is that your wife calling to see where you are?
12:32Oh.
12:37I don't like that. It's my partner. Business partner.
12:43Curtis, you are adorable. It was nice meeting you.
12:48Nice meeting you. Where are you going?
12:51You just got here.
12:53I just came for a quick sip. See what the locals do around here.
12:57You have a good night, and I'm sure I'll see you again.
13:01Are you into anything else, ma'am? I got it.
13:04No, I've got it. This guy's next drink is on me.
13:08No, don't.
13:10Take it, please. I enjoy your company, Curtis.
13:15Merry Christmas.
13:23You better have another drink. I'm having one hell of a tip.
13:30Closing out?
13:32Save it for the next one.
13:39Hey, you don't want to go too fast now. You just might miss something.
13:44Oh, sorry.
13:46I'm sorry.
13:48I'm sorry.
13:50I'm so sorry.
13:52I'm sorry.
13:54I'm sorry.
13:56I'm sorry.
13:58I'm sorry.
14:00I'm sorry.
14:02I'm sorry.
14:04I'm sorry.
14:06Hey, you don't want to go too fast now. You just might miss something.
14:10Hey, man. It's not me. I guess she knows what she wants.
14:23You said you had pictures of models, not pictures of girls that want to be models.
14:32Hey, I actually liked a couple of girls that were in this book.
14:37Good.
14:38See? We got some good talent.
14:42Look, I'll use one or two of your models for a local ad or something like that, but I'm not happy.
14:51And my clients, they won't be either.
14:57You know, we're holding another casting call next month.
15:00Get some fresh faces, new models. Everything's going to be okay, right?
15:04We don't have next month.
15:16Gotcha.
15:27Jessica!
15:34Jessica!
15:36What the hell was that all about?
15:38I'm done, Curtis.
15:41Okay, so we'll go to another agency.
15:45It's not the agency. It's the partnership.
15:48I feel like I just don't want to do it anymore.
15:53It's no point.
15:55I do everything.
15:57I have all the clients and do all the work, and you don't even have my back when I need you to.
16:04Look, Jess, I know I've been slipping up on a lot of things, but I cannot lose you right now.
16:13You don't care.
16:14I care about us.
16:17The partnership. The business.
16:20We're partners, not just business friends for over ten years.
16:28And I'll handle this project.
16:34I'll drop you off home. You can get some rest.
16:39But you gotta admit, some of the girls in that book was bad as fuck, though.
16:47Remind me why we're partners again.
16:49Because, um...
16:55What the fuck?
16:57What?
16:59Here. Take this.
17:03Get yourself something to eat on me.
17:06Take my car.
17:08I'll pick it up later.
17:19Hey.
17:21Hey. Curtis, right?
17:24Yeah. I just wanted to let you know that drink was really, really good.
17:28Well, I guess maybe you should thank your bartender.
17:31Were you with someone?
17:34Oh, no. It's just my partner. Business partner.
17:38Business partner?
17:40Yeah. My high fashion photographer.
17:43High fashion?
17:44Yeah, you know. Clothing lines, athletic wear, handbags.
17:49Really? You have a card?
17:52A card?
17:56No, I don't have a card.
17:58Well, thanks.
18:00No, wait, wait, wait.
18:02I haven't eaten all day, and I still owe you for last night.
18:06It's okay, really.
18:10You got something else, buddy, you know?
18:12I'm actually really booked up today.
18:15I have a review at the agency across the street in ten minutes,
18:18and then later this evening I have a shoot in Ocean City.
18:22A shoot?
18:24As in you model?
18:26Yeah, I do.
18:28I do still work, and I've had a couple commercials, so.
18:32Okay. We should shoot something sometime.
18:36Maybe, but I really have to run.
18:41So how will I get in contact with you?
18:43You're the big time photographer.
18:45Call me.
18:57Turn it over.
19:05I enjoy your company.
19:12Shit.
19:36Hey, you're early.
19:39Four days early.
19:42Want to guess who I ran into today?
19:44It wouldn't happen to be your dream woman, would it?
19:47It was.
19:49So did you confront her about the dreams you've been having?
19:51Oh, yeah, sure. That sounds great.
19:53Hello, woman who I've never met before.
19:55I fuck you in my dreams every night.
19:58Can I take you on a date?
20:00So you're saying that you actually ran into the woman that you've been dreaming about.
20:04Yes.
20:06You're serious about this.
20:10Look, Curtis, I have a lot of different patients who have special situations.
20:18But may I be frank?
20:23I do believe that all of this is just a coincidence.
20:25It's not.
20:30Well, it's like I mentioned before.
20:32Maybe you seen her somewhere and then you were just attracted to her so you dreamt of her.
20:37That's the only logical explanation for all of this.
20:40That's it?
20:44Yeah, that's it.
20:46I suggest that you just get some rest.
20:49Getting sleep is the last thing I want to do right now.
20:55I know, but can you just at least try?
21:03I'm sorry.
21:11I need a break.
21:13Curtis, I don't like any of these.
21:19If you want to shoot, anytime you can.
21:22What's wrong with you lately?
21:24You're losing focus in all directions.
21:26Them girls got you that twisted?
21:29I'm seeing a doctor about it.
21:31You still seeing that doctor about them dreams?
21:33Don't start.
21:35Okay, so July called out.
21:38And I got in contact with the agency from yesterday.
21:42And he said he got some new models for himself.
21:45Oh yeah? After the way you trashed them?
21:48You know, you should push the shoot back so I can get one of my models up in here.
21:54Nobody has time to push the shoot back so somebody can play with your little girlfriends.
21:59One, she's not my girlfriend.
22:02Two, she's probably one of the most diverse models we've shot in a while.
22:08Door. I think she's here.
22:13You know, you never trust my judgment.
22:15I do.
22:17You know, I met this girl the other day.
22:19The one that you dropped me for?
22:21I didn't drop you. I made sure you were big.
22:24It's okay. I'm used to you dropping me for one of your little...
22:31You're with ARG?
22:33Yes, at Melody.
22:35And you're stalking me now?
22:38Who would appear that way?
22:40Anyone to the left.
22:42Okay, thank you.
22:44Hey Jessica, I'm starting to trust your judgment.
22:49Eighty frames is all we need.
22:52Please, do not waste my film.
22:54We don't even use film.
22:57You ready?
22:58Yeah.
22:59Let's go.
23:09I need you to be a little bit more intimate with the camera. You know, like how models do.
23:15Mm-hmm.
23:18Great. Yes, yes.
23:20More.
23:21Yeah.
23:27More. Give me more.
23:34A little more.
23:38Sexier. A little more.
23:42Love it.
23:44That ain't it either.
23:46Don't look. Stop playing.
23:48You're doing fine though. Keep going.
23:51Love, you don't look too good to me. Trust me. I would know.
23:56Look, take five.
24:02What the fuck was that?
24:03She was horrible. Throw the whole agency in the trash.
24:06She's beautiful and you know it.
24:07Then why don't you go fuck her then, like you fuck everybody else, while I go find us a new model?
24:13It's a wrap for the day.
24:15I bet it is. Salty ass.
24:32Interesting shoot.
24:34Yeah, sorry about that situation with Jessica. She's a little stressed right now.
24:42Yeah, it's okay. I've worked worse, so.
24:48Now you know I can't let us have a night like this, right?
24:56Look, I gotta get ready for tomorrow and I got these other plans.
25:00Wait.
25:05Why do you want to take me out so bad?
25:09Because I want to get to know you better.
25:12I see. This is what you do with all the models you work with, huh?
25:17Actually, no.
25:22Two hours.
25:27Fine. But Curtis, take me somewhere that has a nice wine selection.
25:33It was.
25:40Yes.
25:42That's a little backwards, isn't it?
25:44I had to get away from La La Land. And besides, L.A. is more for actors, so.
25:50Baltimore?
25:51Well, it's not too far from New York, D.C., and Philly.
25:57But it's not too close either.
25:59So I figured I could live here and travel an hour or three from time to time.
26:09That makes sense.
26:12So, married, children, divorce, bisexual.
26:19Excuse me?
26:23I'm only laughing because you just touched my whole life.
26:29What? Really? How so?
26:32Well, yes, I am married and I have a five-year-old daughter and a two-year-old son.
26:40But I'm going through a divorce right now.
26:42And I'm going through that divorce because my husband caught me in bed with my girlfriend, Alicia.
26:50But I promise you, it was innocent.
26:57Well, that's really good.
27:00I am so kidding right now. No, no, no, and no. I'm a very boring person.
27:07Either way, I don't know why I have to be here with you right now.
27:14Uh-huh.
27:20You're serious?
27:28I can't, I can't.
27:31Why?
27:32Not like this.
27:35Oh, shit.
27:37Okay, okay, wait, wait. We gotta stop.
27:43I'm sorry.
27:44No, no, please, don't be.
27:49I'm gonna head out.
27:51Okay, yeah, I gotta get some sleep.
27:54What?
27:55What?
27:59Have a good night.
28:01You have a good night as well.
28:04Good night.
28:35Good night.
28:42Three, four, one, two, three, four.
29:04Okay.
29:12If you would like to leave a message, press one.
29:15Hey, Melody, it's Curtis.
29:20I had the best time of my life with you over the past couple of weeks.
29:27I can't stop thinking about you.
29:30You're always on my mind.
29:35I'm falling in love with you.
29:38This might sound crazy, but I've been dreaming about you.
29:43It feels so real.
29:50Let's talk.
29:52I need to know what's...
29:56what this is.
30:04I need to know what this is.
30:34What?
30:36What?
30:38What?
31:01What?
31:04What?
31:06What?
31:24I really gotta talk to you.
31:27Please pick up as soon as you can, like I...
31:30I really need to speak with you.
31:33I'll call you back.
31:36Hey.
31:38Good morning.
31:44Are you not gonna speak?
31:47I had a dream.
31:49And I dreamt about you last night.
31:54Okay.
31:57What's going on, Melody?
32:02Curtis, I don't know what you're talking about.
32:05Those marks, I didn't put those on you last night.
32:14How was your sleep?
32:20So I shot the nigga, right?
32:23So I shot the nigga, right?
32:26I shot my Tupac.
32:28And I just kept shooting and shooting.
32:31And bullets were flying everywhere.
32:32They got all over my shoes and shit.
32:33I don't like messing up my shoes.
32:35So you think it's right to shoot people over your shoes?
32:41Sometimes, you know?
32:43But, like, you know, I feel like I'm going crazy up in this bitch.
32:45Like, when I go to sleep, like, I'm rich.
32:49But then when I wake up, I ain't got shit.
32:53And I don't like that.
32:55Okay, well, it just seems like that you may be going through a sense of...
32:58I need to talk to you.
33:00Curtis, I'm with a patient right now.
33:02Patient?
33:04Bitch, I ain't no patient. I ain't sick.
33:08Look, I think we talked enough for today.
33:10So how about we meet next week for a review?
33:13In the meantime, don't shoot anyone over the shoes, okay?
33:16Fuck all y'all.
33:27I'm so sorry about this.
33:29This was Curtis' idea.
33:31I'm Melody.
33:32It's okay, I'm Dr. Myers.
33:34Curtis, what is happening?
33:35Just playing the scratches.
33:37Maybe you did them in your sleep.
33:39And what about Melody?
33:40She has the same marks on her that I put on her in my dream.
33:43Okay, Curtis, this is starting to get way out of hand at this point.
33:46That's it.
33:47I mean, if you look at the situation, it really does sound like...
33:50I don't give a fuck what it sounds like.
33:53You know damn well that I'm in your dreams and you're in mine.
33:56And it's real.
33:57Listen, okay? Listen.
34:00Let me do some research.
34:02Give me about a week, and I can come up with something for you, okay?
34:07You think I'm crazy.
34:09No one said that.
34:12No one thinks you're crazy here, okay?
34:16It's just a different situation.
34:26How is this even possible?
34:28Everybody's gonna think I'm crazy.
34:30I know you're not.
34:33Why?
34:34Because I've been doing this since I was a teenager.
34:39Doing what?
34:42Now you're gonna think I'm crazy.
34:46Sometimes, I can...
34:51Sometimes you can what?
34:54I don't know. Just forget it.
34:57No, look. Please explain.
35:01I need to understand this.
35:04I mean, I don't know, Curtis.
35:06How crazy does it sound for me to say
35:08that I can read into people's dreams?
35:12And I don't really know how. I just can.
35:16Doesn't sound crazy at all.
35:18Why didn't you tell Dr. Miles about this?
35:20Because every time I trust someone with this,
35:23bad things begin to happen.
35:25Bad like what?
35:29My ex committed suicide.
35:32And that's the real reason I moved from L.A. to Baltimore.
35:38I just wanted to get away as far as I could.
35:43Oh no, Melody.
35:46Look, you can't go around blaming yourself for that.
35:54Look, it's gonna be alright.
36:09Can you make her eyes pop just a little bit more?
36:12I'm gonna go back and watch some movies, you know?
36:15Watch some movies, play some Netflix and chill with that.
36:18I think I'll talk.
36:22Glad you made it.
36:24You ready?
36:26Surprised I had to tell you it was a closed shoot today.
36:28Since when?
36:30Since you got here.
36:32I mean, it's been a while.
36:34It's been a while.
36:36I'm surprised it was a closed shoot today.
36:38Since when?
36:40Since our real talent doesn't want outsiders in her shoots.
36:47Let me hurry up and shoot this.
36:49No, it's okay. I'll just get an Uber home.
36:52There's something really special about you.
36:55There's something really special about us?
36:59It is.
37:01Okay, bye.
37:02I'm gonna call you later.
37:03Have a good shoot.
37:07Okay.
37:12You ready yet?
37:14Yeah, just let me check the lighting.
37:17What's her name?
37:19Why?
37:21Because she's our client's maid.
37:25Her name is Kelly?
37:27Yes.
37:29Oh.
37:36Hi.
37:44I'm Kelly.
37:46I'm Curtis.
37:48You're looking real beautiful right now.
37:50What kind of girl do you think I am?
37:53I would love to take you out after this shoot.
38:07I've never done anything like this before.
38:12Yeah, okay.
38:15What? I haven't.
38:19You wanna come in?
38:23Oh, no. I gotta go pick up my child.
38:29You okay?
38:32You okay?
38:35Yeah.
38:37I just thought I saw something.
38:40But I'm gonna get right up out of here.
38:42Okay.
38:43I'm gonna get on with you.
38:44Okay.
38:46Make sure you call me later, okay?
38:48I will.
39:04I love you.
39:11I love you, too.

41:32Good morning, Baltimore.
41:34Today's weather brings us a pale gray sky with a high of 34 degrees.
41:39For those of you dreaming of a white Christmas, the DMV has other plans.
41:43And on a tragic note for local news, Kelly Spencer, a model with ARC talent,
41:49was sadly found dead in her apartment by her mother this morning.
41:53There was no apparent sign of a struggle or break-in,
41:56which has left police and medical examiners unable to determine the cause of death.
42:01As always, if anyone in the greater Baltimore area sees anything unlawful or suspicious...
42:08Where are you going?
42:12I've got to talk to you.
42:14What happened to you last night?
42:16I tried to reach you.
42:18We were at the bar, picking up women.
42:22I had a dream about you last night.
42:25But you weren't there.
42:27I guess you were with someone else.
42:30I gotta run. Can we do this later?
42:36Are you okay?
42:38I just got a headache. I'm just going to run to the store.
42:41Oh, I'll just go with you.
42:45I gotta go do this alone.
42:47Okay?
42:51I love you.
42:58Mel, I got a lot on my mind right now.
43:02And I just need a few days.
43:05I need a break, okay?
43:09You need a break?
43:13Yeah, I just need a few days.
43:16I'll call you.
43:27Okay.
43:58Is he okay?
44:02Is who okay?
44:07I'm sorry, but you must have the wrong person.
44:09I'm talking about my husband, Curtis Monroe.
44:15Your husband?
44:17Curtis?
44:20Curtis?
44:28Yeah, he left me and the kids this morning and said he needed to see his doctor.
44:34Was he with you?
44:40Curtis didn't show up today.
44:49I'm gonna need for you to get away from my car before I call the police.
45:19I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
45:40Yeah, yeah, I know. I know. I'm sorry.
45:46You cannot keep popping up at my house like this.
45:50Nice tree.
45:51I don't even like you like that for real.
45:54We gotta talk.
46:06So, I've been thinking about everything we talked about.
46:11And I believe you.
46:15Or you don't?
46:17I do. I mean, I know it seems a little far-fetched.
46:22But I don't think you would make up something like that.
46:26So, what do I do? This is really happening.
46:30I don't know. Don't go to sleep.
46:33Or a pill. Like, isn't there some type of pill you could take that would stop you from dreaming?
46:38Right.
46:39I don't know, Curtis. Shit.
46:42I've never even heard of anything like this before.
46:44So, how you gonna ask me this? This is not even normal.
46:46Like, this sounds crazy.
