A woman challenges her husband on his decision to have a female friend stay over.
SYNOPSIS
Evening dinner with husband and wife Nick and Mia. Mia breaks the silence to ask Nick when his friend Kristen is coming over. He happily answers the question, then apologizes for not letting Mia know sooner. Mia challenges him on this; she believes he’s known Kristen’s arrival time sooner but just decided to tell her now. Nick defends himself, saying it’s simply a friend who asked for a last-minute favor. Mia expresses doubt that his motivations for Kristen coming over are purely platonic. The game of chess continues until one of them lets their true feelings out in full painful honesty. This conversation explores the nuances of having a difficult conversation with someone you love but are deeply upset with at the same time.

SYNOPSIS
Detective Shaw is locked in a room with Kang, a serial killer he’s been chasing since the start of his career, and an unlikely conversation unfolds. Shaw recounts an experience of having died, for six minutes, and on the “other side” was the absence of good and evil. He felt everything on the spectrum from emotion to intellect that he’s learned over past lives, becoming one with peace, understanding, and clarity that leads him to resent the people who would disrupt the little peace that remains on earth. The inspiration for this conversation comes from the idea that there is always a reason for an action, though others might not agree or understand it. There is no such thing as heroes and villains. We’re all villains; it’s just that those who live to tell the tale will always paint themselves as the heroes.
