[beeping]

[realtor] 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.

[elevator dings]

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.

♪♪

[door closes]

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

[Amanda]
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.
[chuckles]

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?

[laughs]
That is just a little creepy.

[soft chuckle] 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.

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

open the store, so...

You're not gonna

Hi, welcome to the CB Surf Shop.

We just got a shipment

Let me know if I can help you

Can I try this one?

Of course.

This would look
fabulous on you.

Bring in a few,

Yeah, I just--
Maybe in the shop?

Have you ever been

No, I really

- Kind of?

We live on a sailboat

Uh, we live in frontof the mooring field,

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

Oh. We've only been there

He swept me off my feet.

What made you
move to Carolina Beach?

Storm-chasing.
[chuckle]

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.

and see your family
and friends in Florida?

No, we haven't
been able to.

is with him now, right?

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

Older man, kept woman.

Controlling man,
much younger woman,

- 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.

I mean, the poor girl

doesn't have any

[dispatcher muffled voice
on radio]

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?

[indistinct chatter on radio]

So, um...

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

Uh, we found him.

A couple of boaters found him
floating in your boat.

- [Amanda] 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.

[door closes]

[exhales]

Kathy and Steve...

welcome to Penthouse One.
