I really think you're gonna like this one.

It's a lot different than the other properties we've seen.

What I'm about to show is pretty special.

Don't you get your boat craving satisfied at work every day?

You know, you'd think I would, but, uh, it's a tease.

It's everyone else's boat I'm dealing with.

Peter owns a marina down the street.

Oh, cool. This way. After you.

Peter, Amanda, welcome to Penthouse One.

Wow, this viewgives a whole new perspective on the island.

Gosh, it's gorgeous.

Indisputably, the best view of the island.

Not only do you get the ocean,

you get the boats, you get the town, all of it.

When they built the Sky House,

they angled it to maximize the view of the sunrise.

It's amazing from every floor.

But nothing like from the top.

And, well, what you see is what you get.

What do you mean?

The condo comes completely furnished as is.

What, the antiques and the artwork?

It's not uncommon for a beach condo to be sold furnished.

It doesn't usually come with antiques and art.

Well, I've always wanted my own suit of armor.

Well, Sir Peter, make sure you don't cut yourself with the sword.

Oh, thank you, dear.

The owners were a bit eclectic.

One was the heir to a tobacco fortune,

the other, a museum curator, from what I understand.

This is all just excess to them.

They didn't want to have to move it,

and they thought it would expedite a sale.

See that big marble vase over there?

That belonged to Bernie Madoff

when the feds sold off all of his possessions.

It came from an estate auction in Palm Beach.

They needed a crane to get it up here.

Wow, see, babe? We can actually own something

that was once owned by the world's biggest Ponzi schemer.

That's not really a selling point.

Uh, can you give us a minute?

Uh, sure, sure.

I love it. I mean, it's absolutely perfect,

and we don't have to worry about nosy neighbors.

I mean, I guess the boaters are our neighbors.

Yeah, but Amanda,we don't even know how much this place costs,

and we lose 100 square feet of living space.

Yeah, but look at what we gain.

Hey, Mike, what's the asking price?

Completely furnished? 579,000.

Whew! Amanda,that's a lot of money. We can't afford that.

Well, let's talk about it.

You know, we can list the lake condo

as a vacation property.

I mean, that's positive income.

Both our businesses are doing well.

We have at least a 30% down payment.

I really think we can swing this.

Peter, this is what we've always wanted.

It is pretty amazing.

Well-- So, movin' on up?

To a deluxe apartment in the sky.

Hey, Mike, we'll take it.

Hey, how often do the boats get changed out?

Ah, it depends. Some stay a night, some stay a week.

They're not supposed to stay much longer than that.

That boat was here when we first started

looking at the place, wasn't it?

Huh.

That's good memory.

How do you remember that? It was over a week ago.

Why do you remember that particular boat?

Well, I was walking Humphrey the other day,

and I caught a glimpse of this woman on the boat.

I waved to her, I don't think she saw me.

But she was with some guy, maybe her husband?

Well, whoever they were, they're fighting now.

- Typical married couple. - Hey.

So, what do you thinkabout changing out some of this stuff?

Like what?

Oh, I don't know, maybe some of the artwork,

pieces of furniture, and this thing?

The African mask?

I mean, come on, who doesn't love the African mask?

That is just a little creepy.

Okay.

Well, let's just get out from under all this stuff,

and in a couple of weeks we'll make this more Peter and Amanda.

Sounds great.

Well, have a good day, babe. I'll call you at lunch.

I have even a better idea.

After you get all this unpacking done,

why don't you just take me to lunch?

- That is an exceptional idea. - I know, right?

- Okay, I love you. - Hey, I love you more.

See you later.

Hungry, buddy?

Oh, Charles,don't forget the beer.

When have I forgotten the beer?

Make sure you're back here at five o'clock, huh?

There's another check here, somewhere.

Where is it?

I can't-- Just-just let me. -

CB Marina, this is Peter. Can I help you?

You need a better system, Peter.

The system works for me.

Yes, sir.

- Thank you, Kate. - Mm.

Yeah, we can get your boat in the water this afternoon, certainly.

What do I wear?

This is so old.

I wore this in high school.

Tony, how many times have I told you

to make sure that you picked up the trash

before you open the store?

I'm sorry, Ms. Wright.I was ten minutes late opening this morning,

and I was just,like, in a hurry to get the store ready.

Um, did you just admit to your boss

that you were late for work? Again, I might add?

Oh, yeah, not a smart move on my part.

No. But you know what? You've been with me the longest,

you helped me open the store, so...

You're not gonna fire me, are you?

Not today, as long as you go out

and pick up the trash and clean the window.

Right away, Ms. Wright, I'll get on that right now.

Okay, thank you, Tony.

Hi, welcome to the CB Surf Shop.

We just got a shipment of the cutest little sundresses.

Let me know if I can help you with anything, okay?

Can I try this one?

Of course.

And, actually, I think you have to try this.

This would look fabulous on you.

Bring in a few, you never know.

You might go home with all of them.

Okay, I'll try it.

Let me bring you to the fitting room.

Thank you.

All right, let me know if you need

another size or color, okay?

- Okay, thank you. - All right.

Hey, does she look familiar to you at all?

Uh, no, ma'am. I don't think so.

She looks familiar, I just-- I can't place it.

Well, we get a lot of people in here.

Yeah, but I usually know all my customers by now.

- Yeah. - I know.

I really like these two.

Oh, that's great. These are great choices.

And I know the red had to look amazing on you.

- Shall we wrap it up? - Sure, why not?

So I have to ask, you just look so familiar to me.

- Have we ever met before? - I don't think so.

Yeah, I just-- Maybe in the shop?

Have you ever been here before?

No, I really don't get out much.

Do you live on the island, or you're just visiting?

- We kind of live here. - Kind of?

We live on a sailboat in the waterway.

Oh! Oh, that's where I've seen you.

I can see your boatfrom our apartment up on the balcony.

Uh, we live in frontof the mooring field, the big white building?

That's what it is. Oh, gosh, it was just--

It was killing me,I couldn't-- I couldn't place you.

Oh. We've only been there like two months.

Same with us.

You know what? You should come over one night.

We'll have a glass of wine, just have some girl time.

You can see your boat from a whole different perspective.

- Um, I don't know. - Yeah.

- Maybe sometime. - Yeah, how about tonight?

My husband works late. It'll be fun, it's gonna be a pretty night.

It's a great idea.

I don't know, I mean...

Charles doesn't really like it when I go out alone.

Well, let me tell you something,when Charles sees you in those dresses,

you'll have him wrapped around your finger, trust me.

Here, I'm gonnagive you my address. I'm not taking no for an answer.

And here's my number.

- I'll see. Thank you. - Yes, thank you.

Hey there, neighbor.

I'm Charles, I'm with the Beach Billy's.

We've been in the neighborhood trying to help people

get back on their feet after the big storm.

I notice you could use some work on your house.

I'm wondering if anybody'sbeen by to give you an estimate on getting that fixed yet?

I've had three carpetbaggers come by.

They're overpriced, typical after a storm.

Typical, yeah.

I'll tell you what,

you quote me on their lowest estimate,

and we'll beat it by 40%.

Well, I'm kinda busy right now.

Okay, I'll tell you what.

We'll get all this work done for $2,000.

You give us 50% down, and the rest on completion,

and we'll get it done this week.

You'll be finished this week? You'd get here that quick?

- Nobody else can. - Guaranteed.

Looks like we've got a deal.

Deal. let me get my checkbook.

Now, that's the way you do it.

- We're talkin' easy money. - So when are we gonna start?

Now listen, son, I said easy money.

Wait, you meanwe're not gonna do the work that you just got paid for?

Now you're learnin'. Easy money.

Look, man,

I'm not trying to go to jail over a couple of bucks.

Only the owner goes to jail. You can just take it easy, son.

Whatever you say, boss.

Attaboy.

Hey, Jerry. - Morning, boss.

That guy come back about the Bayliner yet?

Yes, he just left.

He's coming back with a deposit check,

and wants it in the water by the weekend.

Awesome. It's a great boat.

It just needed the right owner.

- Yeah. - Well, good work, Jerry.

Keep it up, and you'll make your month.

- The month's not over yet. - And I love the attitude.

Hey, did you take care of that DUI?

I kinda missed my first court appearance.

You dumb fuck.

That means there's a warrant out for your arrest.

They could pick you up at any time.

Look, give me a break. I-I overslept,

I didn't want to go into court late.

So you don't show up at all?

Good God! When they come for you,

and they will, it better not be on the work site.

I don't need any more heat on me. You take care of that DUI.

I don't want the cops around the job site asking any questions.

Okay, I'll get it taken care of.

No, you take care of it right now.

Hey, girl.

Hey! I didn't hear you knock.

Well, no wonder with all that going on down there.

- Gosh-- - Surprised you heard anything.

Is that the girl that'ssupposed to come up here for girls' night?

That was the girl I was hoping would come for our happy hour.

- Hmm. - But it looks like girls' night is out for her.

Yeah, I think she's a little bit occupied.

But that just means more wine for us, right?

- That's right. - Cheers.

I never get tired of this view.

I brought some wine. Surprise!

But it looks like, uh, you got a head start on me.

Mm.

So what's the deal with all the glasses?

Well, Julie came over tonight, and we were expecting Tess,

but she was a no-show.

Tess?

Yes, the girl from the sailboat.

Ah, sailboat girl.

Yes, her name is Tess,

and she came into the store today,

and she's a very, very lovely person.

That's random. What's she like?

Mm. She's cute and sweet and super shy,

and I think she'll be great once she just comes out of her shell.

So why didn't she show up?

Apparently, Charles is a very, very controlling man.

- Sailboat guy. - Mm-hmm.

A-ha. Control freak, huh?

Well, if I lived with someone like that,

I wouldn't want to be around them anyway.

She seems so scared of him.

Can you blame her?

We watch them from 11 flights up,

and you can see what a mess it is.

Yeah, I know, but I just wanted her to have a girls' night out,

and fun, and just forget her life for a little bit, you know?

Yeah.

Well, maybe next time.

Oh, gosh, they're at it again.

Why do people like that

even bother staying together?

I don't know, but they sounded like

they were having a good time earlier.

Hm, changes like the wind.

Where the hell did these dresses come from?

I bought them.

You bought 'em? What, you're wasting my money on clothes?

What, are you a fashion model now?

You don't let me work, so I don't have my own money.

What do you want me to do?

I told you, I don't want you leaving the boat by yourself.

What am I supposed to do? I get bored.

I'm locked on this boat all day alone.

I just needed to get out.

Oh, you had to get out? What, to go see someone?

Who were you going to see?

No, there's nobody I go see!

I just need to get out sometimes--

walk around, shop, see other people.

I don't want you leaving the boat,

not by yourself, it's not safe.

Do you understand?

Do you hear me?

Yeah, I understand.

I just wanted to surprise you with something nice.

I tell you what, keep the red one.

You look good in red.

Come here. Come here.

Okay?

All right?

Tell you what...

Go put on the red dress, and I'll be right down.

- Okay. - Okay?

Do you really have to leaveyour loving husband today and go to work?

You know it's the last thing I want to do,

but the Chamber of Commerce is hosting this mixer,

and, you know, I said I'd be there.

- Tony can't handle the preparations. - Mm.

But, you know, I think it'll be a good way to bring in some new faces.

Well, maybe you can do a one-night sale or something.

That's a good idea.

You know, I forgot we had these boards.

Well, we picked a great day for it, perfect.

The water's as smooth as glass, and I have a feeling

my abs are gonna feel it in the morning.

- Yeah, what abs? - Oh, you're a funny girl.

- Yeah.

You got it?

Oh, yeah, I remember how to do this.

Oh, yeah? Let's see.

- Uh-huh. Wise guy.

All right, let's see how you work those abs.

No coffee for me?

Yeah, I'll get it.

Oh, you stupid bitch.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

What the fuck is the matter with you?

- I'll bet you did that on purpose!

No, I didn't, it was an accident.

Well, get a towel, clean it up.

- What's the matter with you? - Okay, okay.

God almighty.

Don't be mad at me.

Why do you do this? Why do you do this?

- I'm sorry. - Tess--

Why do you gotta get me so mad?

I don't.

Tess, you know I love you. You know that.

And you always say I'm the best thing

that ever happened to you, right?

- Right? Don't you say that? - Yeah...

Okay, come on, finish up, and get yourself a coffee.

- We'll start all over again. - Okay.

Hey, Tony.

Mr. Wright, what's tight with you, man?

What's tight with me?

I... apparently need a language update.

- Ah. - So where's the proprietor

of this fine establishment?

Uh...

Hey. How are you?

I'm good. How's your day going?

It's great. So where are you takin' me to lunch?

Well, I thought we'd have a picnic in the park.

That sounds great.

- Hey, Tony. - Yeah?

I'm heading out for about an hour, okay?

- Okay. - Please keep unpacking the shipment.

- You got it, boss. - All right, thank you.

Well, I'm glad that wefinally had some time to make for lunch,

since all that unpacking you've been doing.

Yeah, I know.

Look across the street.

That's our old place.

I miss living there.

Yeah, but you likeour new place better, don't you?

Oh, yeah, of course.

Well, good, because I listed it,

and we have some inquiries,

and our realtortold me that can get $1,500 a week for it.

Fifteen hundred a week?

- Yep. - Wow.

So now all we have to think about

is whether we want to manage it ourself

or get a company to do it.

Well, you've got the business, I've got a business.

Quite frankly, I don't want to be

changing people's sheets and towels every day.

You have a point.

I'm gonna take that.

- There you go. -

What's that? Yum.

Yes. Yes, sir.

I understand.

Yeah, I know, I gave you my word,

and I stand by my word.

Well, you see,

we can't start work until we get 50% up front.

It's the way it works.

Oh. Okay, I understand.

I understand. Screw you too, buddy.

We lost that job.

That guy might've caught on to us, actually.

Maybe we should do this the right way.

I mean, I-I needto make money, too. I've got bills to pay.

No, this is a great scam. I've been working it for years,

all up and down the inter-coastal waterway. It works.

We lost a job, we'll get another one.

Shit happens, man, that's the way it is with this.

And what about last week?

'Cause I still haven't been paid for that.

You'll get paid when you get paid.

Look, man, all I'm saying is,

I'm not gonna be around forever.

Okay? Eventually, I'm gonna just roll.

Don't you even think about leaving.

You short on money?

Cash in one of your diamond earrings, kid.

- Get back in the van.

- Get back in the van!

Look what I got, Humphrey.

When did we get a telescope?

I bought it used on the Internet, $15.

It's gonna be great to look at the night sky.

Well, it's neither night or the sky you're looking at.

I haven't seen the neighbors yet today.

Romeo and Juliet are on the boat,

their dinghy's still there, but haven't caught them.

Well, don't you think maybe you're just minding their business

- a little too much? - You kidding?

It's great being a nosy neighbor.

You see all this stuff, and you can't replicate

the stuff you see on that boat on any television show.

Well, once you get your television show fix,

I think it's time to head to work.

I just have to walk our friend, and go for my run.

The parts for the Grady came in this morning.

Terrific, let's get 'em installed ASAP,

and, uh, get up with that guywho was interested in the boat last week.

So, uh, how's the new place?

Man, we love it.

It's like we're actually on top of the marina.

You can see it perfectly, like we're right there.

Oh, great, now we got the boss

peering down from his ivory tower.

Oh, it's not like that,

it's just we love watching the boats

come and go in the mooring field.

And the sunrise, the sunset, it's amazing, it's therapeutic.

It's gotta be nice,

all kinds of interesting boats and people like that.

I tell you, the islanders here come from all walks of life.

You know, it's funny you should say that.

There's this one sailboat that's been there since before we moved in.

There's a couple living on board and--

I don't know, there's something about 'em, something odd.

Have you met 'em?

No, we just watch them from the penthouse.

Nothin' creepy about that.

That's not what I mean. It's nothing different

than you getting to know the routine of your-your neighbors,

seeing them come and go.

Anyway, I've got some invoices to do.

Let me know about that guy and that Grady.

- Will do. - Thanks.

Oh, hey.

I was wondering if you were gonna pop back in here again.

Hi.

Hey, I'm sorry you couldn't make it the other night.

Oh, I'm sorry, I just couldn't.

Hey, are you okay?

Uh, yeah, of course.

What happened to your face?

It's nothing.

I just hit my face on a cabinet on the boat.

Small spaces lead to busted faces.

You know, I know you don't know me and everything,

but, um, did somebody do this to you?

Look, um, my sister went through a similar situation,

and, um, she found a fantastic group

that helped her get through a really rough time.

I'd be happy to share with you that information, if you want it.

Really, I'm completely fine.

It's not what you think at all.

Okay. Okay, um...

You know what? I was ready to break for lunch,

and I would love some company.

I get these tremendous sandwiches

that I can never finish myself, so my treat.

I can't, I really need to get going.

- Thank you. - Um, you know what?

I'm not gonna take no for an answer twice,

so just let's go out. We'll just sit for a while.

I won't take too much of your time.

- Well, maybe. - Okay.

- Just for a bit, though. - Okay, that's it, perfect.

So, I met Charles in Florida while I was bartending.

It was just a small pub in Tampa.

He was in towndoing restoration work after a hurricane.

He was nice.

There was just something about him.

- It's hard to explain, you know. - Mm.

He had this strength.

But... I just could not resist him.

You know?

He swept me off my feet.

What made you move to Carolina Beach?

Storm-chasing.

Well, that'swhat he calls it anyway.

He would just follow the storms,

and settle in wherever towns needed help rebuilding.

Every single time we'd try to plant roots somewhere,

something would always happen with his job,

and we just had to keep movin' on.

Honestly? I never wanted to leave Florida.

All my family and friends are there.

So something always came up, like what?

Oh, God, just-- it's always something.

There's a problemwith the boat slip, or the mooring ball.

I don't know, the job would go bad,

and we'd just have to keep movin' on.

That, or just chase the next cash job.

Do you ever get to go back and see your family and friends in Florida?

No, we haven't been able to.

Besides, my place is with him now, right?

Isn't that the wayit's supposed to be for us ladies?

Older man, kept woman.

You want to know what I'm thinking?

Controlling man, much younger woman, kept on a tight leash.

Well, I guess to an extent I am.

But he provides for me.

I love him.

And what about the bruise?

Like I said, tight spaces.

Look, dude, I need to try to find a way out of this.

This guy is absolutely insane,

and he's gonna get our asses thrown in jail.

No. I don't think you understand.

This guy is literally crazy,

and I don't know what I've got myself into,

but this a very dangerous man that I am working for.

- Brought you lunch. - Thank you. Thanks.

Thought we'd get a fresh start, get things back on track.

What's this?

Payday.

That's a lot of cash.

There's a lot more where that came from.

You gotta be patient and trust me, okay?

You with me?

Partner?

Yeah.

Get in the van.

That was a funny story.

- The first time. - The first time, right, yeah.

Oh, I meant to tell you

that Tess came in the store today.

- Really? - Yeah.

You know, she's really a sweet girl,

but I'm a little worried about her.

I think she's being abused.

Why am I not surprised?

No, I mean-- She had this bruise on her face,

and when I asked her about it, she just brushed it off

and said she walked into something,

but I know that she was lying.

Just be careful, okay? You don't know these people.

Just... don't get involved in anything

you don't want to get involved in.

Well, how can I not? I mean, the poor girl

doesn't have any family or friends.

I just want to help if I can.

But I'll-I'll be careful.

I'll just-- I'll just see how it goes.

Just be careful, you know nothing about them.

Tread lightly.

I'll clean up, I'll get the wine out there.

Why don't you gorelax on the balcony, enjoy the sunset?

Sounds good, but how come I think

that this is just an excuse for you to have a cigar?

- Because it absolutely is. - Yeah, it is.

Peter, I am beat. I've got to get to bed.

But the fireworks aren't over yet.

I know, but, you know, every Thursday, it's beautiful.

I just--I gotta get to sleep. I have a big day tomorrow, okay?

- I'll be in in a minute. - All right, I love you.

- Love you, too. - Mm.

Sixty-five-footer, huh?

I'm not sure we can accommodate one that big.

Well, yeah, sure, I'd love to have him as a-- as a tenant,

but, uh, we'd have to get rid of three smaller ones to-to accommodate.

Oh, yeah, that's a good idea. That could work.

Yeah. All right, let's talk about it more later.

Thanks, Jerry.

Sailboat guy took the dinghy to the shore today,

but I haven't seen his wife in a couple of days.

You know, come to think of it,

I haven't seen her in the shop or around town either.

Peter, I'm getting worried.

What's weird is that...

he was taking a bunch of boxes to shore.

I don't know what was in 'em,but maybe they were her things and they broke up?

You know what? I hope they did break up.

Honestly, she deserves better,

and I hope that she went back to her family in Florida.

You know, it's strange, though, isn't it,

that she didn't bring her things with her when she left?

Three dollars.

Give me another one of those dark beers.

So you were saying you spent some time in the sandbox, huh?

Yet, it always felt likesuch a lonely place, didn't it?

So damn far from home.

You'd hear men crying at night,

thinking about everything they missed.

The guys,they could never figure out even why we were there.

I knew exactly why I was there.

The money.

Where I come from, military pays good money.

Good benefits, too.

You didn't feel likeyou were serving your country?

I was supply sergeant, man.

I had a great scam going-- cigarettes, booze, gasoline.

It was great.

Then the goddamn lieutenant ratted me out.

Dishonorable discharge.

Lost my benefits, I can't even go to the goddamn VA.

I don't feel like you deserve to call yourself a soldier.

Well, I don't feel like you deserve to sit at this bar

unless you're willin' to go leave on a stretcher.

Hey, guys, cut it out or get out.

I don't need any of this crap in here.

I'm done anyway.

"Crush & Grind."

Crush or grind?

- Oh, crush, of course. -

Ah, this place looks great since the renovations, huh?

It does. Dominic did most of the work.

- Gosh, how did you know? - Always.

Thanks.

- Thank you. - Appreciate it, Dom.

It's nice to go where everyone knows your name.

Hey, take a look at who's sitting at the bar, alone.

Is that sailboat neighbor?

In the flesh? He looks creepier in person.

You should go over and say hello.

And what exactly am I supposed to say?

"Hey, neighbor, uh, we've been watching you,

and uh-- for weeks now,

and we're wondering what happened to your wife."

That's not what I'm saying. Just-just go make small talk.

Just-just go talk to him.

Okay, okay, I'll go, but if I'm not back in ten minutes...

wait a little longer.

Hey, neighbor.

I know you?

You live on the, uh--

that little black sailboat on the canal,

in the waterway, right? The little mini-pirate ship.

Why you askin' about where I live?

I'm sorry, that was an awkward conversation starter.

My name is Peter Wright.I, uh, live with my wife, Amanda,

in the high rise right-- right above your boat there.

It kind of makes us neighbors.

Neighbors?

So, um, what is it, a 32-foot?

It's 38, actually.

It's a nice boat. Have you had her long?

Who do you live there with, uh, your wife or your girlfriend?

I always wonder what it'd be like to live off the grid.

Off the grid. Yeah, you could say that.

You could also say I like my privacy.

Understand?

Well, I didn't mean to come across as a creeper.

My apologies. I'll let you get back to your evening.

Nice to meet you.

How'd it go?

I don't think we're gonna be invited on the boat for drinks.

Uh, did he say anything about Tess?

Um, he got really weird when I mentioned her.

Weird, how?

Almost like he thought I knew something.

I don't know, I'm not real comfortable with this guy.

Wanna head out?

Okay, yeah.

I don't knowif this rain's gonna calm down.

Maybe we should just call it a day.

No, I think it's gonna clear up.

Did you everget that check cashed from that siding job we did?

Damn, boy. What'd you do with all that money I gave you the other day?

I got bills to pay, too.

And, uh, did you ever take care of that DUI?

He told me he was gonna get it continued.

It's a little something to nibble on.

Mm, nice.

I love it here, Peter.

Yeah, me too.

You know, just the whole vibe of it, the people.

You know what I really love?

Sitting up here,seeing all this, next to you.

- A little corny, isn't it?

Yeah, but it's nice.

Oh, hey, before I forget.

Tomorrow night I have that chamber event,

so I'm just gonna be back home late, okay?

I did forget about that.

Okay, I'll find something else to do.

Hey, neighbor.

I figured this was the right place.

You must havea hell of a view from up there.

Can I help you with something?

You know...

I felt kind of bad about how I behaved the other night.

I wanted to apologize.

Sometimes I can be a real asshole when I drink.

So I'd like to invite you over to my boat for a beer.

What do you say?

Maybe it's nota penthouse view, but I call it home.

How's four o'clock for you?

Sure, why not?

All right, I'll see you at four o'clock, neighbor.

I know, it's the craziest thing.

He shows up to apologize.

I think I was so shocked, I just said yes.

You know, I don't know.

Ye-yeah, yes.

Honestly, I don't know.

But it's-- I'm gonna go anyway.

I will. I love you.

Permission to come aboard.

Granted.

So what's it like, uh,

you and the lady, living here all off the grid?

Two of us?

I'm a bachelor, man.

I live on this lady all by myself.

Like you said, peace and quiet, off the grid.

I'm sorry, I could swear I've seen you here

with a-a blonde woman, your wife or girlfriend.

That was my sister.

Family, you know.

It's great until they come to stay.

Hm. Hm.

So how long you been watching me from up there, penthouse man?

Uh, a couple of months, since we moved in.

Where's the head?I want to use the head real quick.

Down below, forward, starboard side.

Grab another beer if you want. Get me one.

And don't mind the mess.

I'm a bachelor, you know?

Saw your military stuff down there.

How long were you in?

Eight years.

Wow.

Four deployments in Iraq.

Thank you for your service.

You know, I hate that shit.

"Thank you for your service," right?

What does that mean? What does that mean?

Thank you for your service to your country.

I joined the army because I needed a job.

That's all.

That's all, the money.

And I never fit in either.

I guess I just didn't understand.

What, are you gonna patronize me now?

What are you gonna do next, say, "Happy Memorial Day"?

Happy Memorial Day!

Go ahead, say it. "Happy fuckin' Memorial Day."

What does Memorial Day mean to you, huh? Nothin'!

Memorial Day is remembering the men and women

that were left behind on the battlefield

for this flag, for this country,

so you can be playing around in wonderland here.

You and your-your bullshit friends.

You don't know anything about Memorial Day.

I think you'd better get the fuck off my boat, pal.

"Neighbor."

I'm sorry.

Sorry!

Amanda, I'm home.

Amanda?

Amanda?

Amanda?

Amanda, where the hell are you?

Are you okay? Why aren't you home?

Oh, Jesus, I'm sorry, that's right.

Look, I--

I'll tell you what happened later.

He swears he lives alone on that boat,

that the womanwe saw him with was his sister,

and that she was just down for a visit.

Well, that's definitely not the story that she told me,

if we're talking about the same woman I met at the shop.

It's weird.

But why would he lie about her?

When I wason board the boat, below deck,

I didn't see anythingthat indicated anyone else was living there,

not as much as a second toothbrush.

Oh, don't mention his time in the military to him, okay?

I found this little shrine to his days in the army.

He flipped his shit when I mentioned

"thank you for your service."

Somethingabout him that's very odd.

I'm gonna find out what it is.

Peter, aren't you just getting a little obsessed with this guy?

I mean, first you bought those binoculars,

and then the telescope.

I mean, yeah he sounds totally weird, and dangerous,

but I think we just need to mind our business, and drop it.

- Yeah, yeah, you're right. - Yeah, I am right.

- I love you. - I love you, too.

- Good night. - Good night.

Peter Cain Wright?

Can I help you?

We have a warrant for your arrest.

You want to step out, please?

What's this all about?

Turn around, sir.

Uh, you'll get the details down at the station.

What did I do? What did I do?

You'll find out.

- Peter! - Stay back, ma'am.

Wh-what happened?

I don't know, call our lawyer. It's a misunderstanding.

- Wh-what's going on? - I don't know. Call--

So...

what was your relationship like with Mr. Charles Owens?

There's no relationship. We can see him from our balcony.

- So you watch him? - Well, yeah.

We-we watch all the boaters, it's fun.

It's-- They're our neighbors.

Were you on the sailboat the other night?

Yeah, he invited me over for some drinks.

He drank, I didn't finish a beer.

I want to show you this. Take a look at this.

That was the other night on the boat.

I told you, he invited me on board.

Yeah, security camera footage.

Mr. Owens called us concerned when his camera recorded this.

So-so what?

That-that's me on the boat.

Yeah, that would be fine,

except Mr. Owens says you weren't invited on board.

- What? - Yeah.

He-he invited me on the boat.

Let me ask you something.

Does this look like a guest invited on board,

or does it look like someone that doesn't belong there?

Huh?

I think you got a problem.

You're being charged with one count of criminal trespassing,

and one count of criminal stalking.

Here you go, Mrs. Wright.

- Thank you. - Mm-hmm.

I mean, like I was telling you, you know, Peter and I,

we just, you know, we watch the boats

coming in and out of the canal, normal, like everyone else does.

You know and...

I mean, there was this-this couple there.

- This-this guy and this-- - A-a woman?

- Yes. - Okay.

- Her name is Tess, and, um-- - Do you know her?

No, no, I don't-- I don't know her, I was getting to know her.

I mean, you know, it's a small town, we--

You know, when someone new comes in,

you know, you just-- you know. They stand out.

- And... - Okay.

We just got to talking, and, um, I don't know,

she just-- she seemed sad or lonely.

But, um, I mean, I don't really know anything about her.

- Just something was wrong with her. - Did she tell you that?

No, I mean, I'm just-just saying, you know, women's instinct.

There's just something off there.

Is-- Can I see him?

Is he here somewhere?

Well, you know what? It's gonna be a while

before your husband will be free to go.

So, you know, we really appreciate

all the information you've given us.

Uh, why don't you go home for a while?

There's really no reason for you to wait around.

We'll call youwhen he's ready to be released.

And, uh, don't go anywhere.

Women's intuition.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm...

I just wantto get inside and take a shower.

The detective said that you were sneaking around on his boat.

Sneaking around?

That crazy bastard invited me on board his boat.

Peter, I saw the video!

Amanda, listen to me.

The morning after we met him in the bar,

he was waiting for me in our parking lot, right here.

He said he wanted to apologizefor being a jerk the night before,

and-and invite meon board his boat as a-- to make things right.

Peter, what's going on?

I don't know.

I'm damn well gonna find out.

Well, just don't do anything else stupid.

Slow start to your day, Pete?

Long end to yesterday.

Something happen?

Uh, nothing that won't work itself out.

Legal problems usually do.

It's a small island.

Gee, news travels fast.

It's a complete shitshow.

This guy who lives on this sailboat,

he-he sets me up!

Don't worry, we've all got your back.

Thank you, Kate, I appreciate it.

Look, I met her in a bar.

She came home with me to my boat,

and I thought she'd spend the night,

but she ended up staying three or four days.

Then I came home one day from work,

and all her stuff was gone, and I never saw her again.

Well, do you know who she was? Do you have a name for me?

Look, I never got her name.

I just called her "baby."

You know how it is.

No, I don't.

Maybe it was a dream.

Yeah, sure, and maybe it was a dream

that I had drinks with crazy sailboat guy out there last night.

I'm not saying all that,I'm just saying the whole thing sounds just a little strange.

I know what I saw, Amanda, okay?

Someone was trying to get in this house.

Well, I don't know. Maybe it was the wind.

It wasn't the wind, Amanda!

You know...

it's better to mind your own business

than to risk opening Pandora's Box.

What's your problem, man?

Do you have any idea the trouble you're causing us?

Just making sure thingsthat are squared away stay that way.

What are you talking about?

You told the police I'm stalking you?

What did you actually see?

A guy doing spring cleaning,getting rid of some excess baggage.

Let me give you a piece of advice.

Things that arebelow the surface are better left that way.

- Baby, get up. - What?

Get in the bathroom, and lock the door.

- What-what? What's going on? - I don't know.

Get in the bathroom, lock the door.

Damn it.

-

What was it?

Nothing. False alarm.

Then what would've set it off?

Who knows?

The door is locked, the chain is on.

We're okay.

Please, call the alarm company today.

See if they cansend someone out to fix that,

because I can't haveanother episode like last night.

It's on my list.

Oh, and I have an island woman's meeting

at the shop today, it's catered.

Can I bring something back?

I'll just eat leftovers.

Well, take it easy, all right?

We got a lot of food. I don't want it to go to waste.

Okay. See you later.

Okay.

Love you!

You have no idea, buddy.

All right, buddy.

Gotta go to work. You have a good day, okay?

Be good. Be good boy.

Yeah, hi, I need a service call on my alarm system.

Well, it's randomly going off.

Yeah, the doors and windows are all locked.

Yeah, tomorrow would be great.

Yeah, I appreciate that. All right, thank you.

Wow.

This sounds like the script for a movie or something.

It's just unbelievable.

When I saw Peter on the news the other night,

I just didn't know what to think.

That's just not in his character.

Well, welcome to my world.

This whole thing is just so bizarre.

You know? I mean, he's not talking to me.

And his obsession with this couple, it's just strange.

- Mm. - I don't know, honestly,

I... I'm just-- I'm just a little scared.

Well, you have every right to be scared.

I mean, you have police, and crazy accusations.

It's like your whole world is being torn apart.

But...

have you considered that maybe he did see something?

Remember, you saidthere was something weird with that girl on the boat.

I mean, what if he did witness something happen?

I mean, that'sthe whole thing, right? I mean, why wouldn't he tell me?

The whole thing just doesn't make any sense.

Yeah. Hmm.

Well, what are you gonna do next?

Just wait for the police to do their job

and straighten this whole thing out.

Well, I wishthere was more I could do to help you, Amanda.

Honestly, I just-- I'm so glad to just get out of the house

and just clear my head,

and I really appreciate you listening to me,

just so I know that I'm not crazy.

You are not crazy.

And any time you want to talk, okay?

It'll all work out.

Where are you going?

I gotta take care of something. I'll be back in a bit.

But you have that appointment about the Bayliner in 20 minutes.

Have Jerry take care of it.

I need to speak with Detective Martinez.

What's this about?

It's about my case.

Do you have a case number?

No, I don't have a damn case number!

Hey, is there a problem out here?

Wait a minute.

And you need to take that minute to roll back your attitude.

The detective will be out to see you in a minute.

For the second time this week,

somebody tried to break into our condo.

This time, they set the security alarm off.

But you didn't make any contact.

No, but I'm sure it was Charles Owens.

But you didn't see Mr. Owens? You see anybody?

- No, not actually. - Did you see anybody?

Look, I heard the knob wiggle. Who-who is it gonna be? I mean...

How about your wife? She hear anything?

She didn't even wake up.

And why do you think it was Owens? Huh?

Look, I've got nothing to prove it, okay?

But put the pieces together.

Okay, let's do that, let's put the pieces together.

All right? We have a complaint from Charles Owens,

that you broke in and stole his property.

The difference between his story and yours?

He's got proof, and you got nothing.

Well, what about the security alarm, then?

What about it? It happens a hundred times.

All right? Nothing criminal about that.

Well, there's-there's something else.

What is it?

I was out for my morning jog this morning.

Owens is in my parking lot, he confronts me.

He's talking about some thing about spring cleaning.

He was mocking me.

That it?

Look, I think he killed the woman he was with.

Listen...

I'd like to believe your story, I really would.

But, the fact of the matter is, you got no video,

you got no proof, you got nothing.

All right?When you got something that I can use, let me know.

Yeah, that's-that's great, great.

Great.

So the numbers look right?

Want to go inside and so some paperwork?

Uh, I don't know. I think I'm gonna wait a bit.

But I thought we had a deal?

I've got your number. I'll give you a call.

Well, if you change your mind, please.

Okay.

Peter, can you come to the office?

Coming.

What the hell just happened?

That was a sure thing.

Uh, and by the way,

Bill Browning just extended his lease for another year,

but now he's pulling out.

Great!

Also, Bayliner guy canceled his payment.

What the hell is going on?

Humphrey?

Ready to go for a walk, boy?

Humphrey?

Where are you, boy?

Humphrey?

Peter?

Do you have Humphrey?

Um, I'm home, and Humphrey's not here,

and... something is really wrong.

He's usually homeduring the day while we're at work.

Usually?

Well, I mean, sometimes I take him

to the marina, but not today.

Are you sure?

Maybe you forgot to take him home?

Seriously?

What about the condo?

Could he have gotten out of here?

We live on the 11th floor.

You know, there's something else.

There-there was a brokenpicture frame on the wall and glass everywhere.

Well, couldn't it have just fallen off the wall?

No, that's not it.

I mean, the pictures were all moved around.

The stuff was moved around.

I mean, clearly, there was someone in this place.

It just-- it just didn't feel right.

Was the locks on when you came home?

Yes.

The sword's gone.

Sword? What sword?

There's a sword that's-that's on the wall

right next to this suit of armor. It's gone.

So you're saying you're missing property?

Yeah, yeah, it never leaves this wall!

Well, now you're gonnaneed to file a separate missing property report.

What about our dog?

Can you see if Owens has our dog?

Are you-- are you kiddin' me?

For that I'm gonna need a warrant and a probable cause.

I mean, if I bring that into the judge's chambers,

you know what he's gonna do? Huh?

He's gonna laugh me right out of there.

That's what he's gonna do.

Apparently, my arrest is all over the island.

I know, Tony told me he saw it in the Gazette.

Great.

That, uh, guy who put the deposit down on the Bayliner,

he canceled today.

What? Why?

He says he doesn't want to do business with me

until he sees what happens with my case.

Well, that's just great.

I told you that we should just mind our own business and drop it.

And-and now we have to deal with this.

I mean, just-- Our lives were normal two weeks ago, Peter.

You know, I could really usesome support from my wife right now.

Hey, boy.

Hey, Humphrey.

What'd he do to you? What'd he do? You okay?

You all right?

Oh, shit. Humphrey, let's go.

Let's hide. Come on, let's go.

Bastard.

Come on, let's go. Let's go.

Well, look who returned to the scene of the crime, huh, neighbor?

Let's go. Come on, come on. Let's go.

Where you at, dopey?

All right, Humphrey.

This is where you get to be brave.

All right.

Come on. Come on.

Be right there.

Yeah. It was easier to get you out, Humphrey.

Want to play games?

All right, I can play games.

Come out, come out, wherever you are.

Come on out of there.

Don't make me break this door, you idiot.

How long you want to play this game, neighbor?

Huh?

I knew the night

that you overstayed your mooring ball

that there was something wrong.

You know, you're starting to sound

more and more like a stalker.

Those boxes you offloaded, what was in those, huh?

You kill her? Huh?

You really want-- You really want me to get into the gory details, huh?

Do you have any idea what you've done to me?

My wife? Our lives?

Now you're getting too sentimental.

And I've had enough of you.

What are you gonna do with that, huh?

You want to know how I killed her?

I choked her out,

and then I weighted her body down with weights,

and I dropped her in the canal.

What are you gonna do with that, Lancelot, huh?

What are you gonna do?

Fuck!

-

You fuckin'...

Yes, that-that's her, that's Tess.

She came into the store, and-and she looked so scared.

I tried to talk to her.

I just wanted to help her, but...

This poor girl.

Detective?

Oh, gosh! That's the dress I sold her.

Who was she, Detective?

She and Charles were common law husband and wife.

They would dock in different ports for weeks and months

until they pissed someone off, or he felt like he needed to move on.

When I was on the boat, I saw something odd.

It was a registration number from a Florida boat,

and it didn't match the one on the-- on the hull.

I took a picture of it.

I guess we missed this in our search.

No wonder we didn't find anything.

- Hey, Officer Swenson? - Yes, sir?

Can you run this for me?

So, um...

Detective, what... what happened to our dog?

Uh, we found him.

A couple of boaters found him floating in your boat.

Oh, thank God. - Back at the station,

entertaining some of our officers.

Good dog.

You know, I was trying to get him onto the boat.

I was gonna go with him.

When Owens came back, I didn't have time to get away.

Thank God there wasn't more bullets in that gun.

And thank God for shaky hands.

Detective? That boat comes back

stolen out of Florida five years ago.

- Thank you, Officer. - There's more.

It belonged to a woman listed as deceased by homicide.

This is gonna open Pandora's Box.

Who knows how many unsolved murders this Owens is involved in.

Well, hopefully,this will give closure to one family's grief.

So what happens now? Do you notify Tess' family?

What family? What friends?

We don't even know Tess was her real name.

I mean, uh, how about you two?

Where do you guys go from here?

Well, I mean, Carolina Beach is our home.

We have family, we have businesses here.

We-- We're not going anywhere.

No, but we're not going back to the penthouse either.

We're gonna have to list that.

Maybe move back to the lake condo?

I mean, it doesn't have such an exciting view, but...

Well, you know what?

Maybe that's a good thing.

Kathy and Steve...

welcome to Penthouse One.
