[birds chirping]

[footstep]

[ominous music]

- [door shut]
- [woman] Hurry up.

[man] Don't rush me.

[camera shutter clicks]

[woman] The more photos,
the better. Take more.

[camera shutter clicks]

[man] It's a nice place.

[woman] I think this
is gonna be perfect,

just perfect.

[camera shutter clicks]

[suspenseful music]

[pensive music]

[keyboard keys clicking]

[door creaks open]

Hey.

How's work?

Work was work.

Any news?

News?

On the partner front?

[sighs] Once there's
news, Becca, I promise,

you'll be the first to know.

Work?

I'm trying, but every
time I get a notification

or some realtor is
trying to call me

- about their property.
- And you told me

house hunting can
be a full time job.

Yeah, I guess I just
didn't believe it myself.

You eat?

Yeah. I made some pasta.

- Do you want me to heat on...
- No, no, no. I got it.

[sighs]

Sorry, sorry, sorry. Just
got out of a meeting.

- It's okay.
- What are you up to?

Just using your office again.

Oh, my God, Becs,

- you look terrible.
- [sighs] Thanks.

Just the encouragement I needed.

Is it Tom?

It's just until
he makes partner,

and then things will be better.

[Annie] Okay. Look,

you know how I feel about Tom.

- I've always liked him.
- [scoffs]

Even though the age difference

threw me off a little bit,

but a new job

does not automatically mean

things change for the better.

Well, I'm marrying him,

so in the good times
and the bad, right?

Well, that's quite a ringing
endorsement for the institution.

Look, why don't you come
work for us full time?

Enough of all this
freelance nonsense

and everyone here
loves your work.

Thanks, but Tom
and I have a deal.

While we're engaged,

I am gonna be spending
most of my time

looking for our dream house.

Yeah, but you're not happy.

I'm happy... most of the time.

[phone pings]

- What?
- A prospect.

A house?

Do you mind if I
go check it out?

Of course. I mean,
you've already

spent too much time here.

But don't you have
to wait for Tom?

Oh, he hasn't
shown much interest

in the whole process, but
if it's a possibility,

- then I'll show him.
- Okay.

You go and find Casa de Hudson.

[birds chirping]

[Becca sighs]

Becca?

I'm Samantha Ryan.

Oh, wow. I must have
misread this listing.

- This place is...
- No mistake.

The seller wants to
wrap up a deal quickly.

Well, why don't
I show you around

and I can tell
you more about it.

Almost the entire house
has been renovated.

There's parquet
flooring, crown molding.

Oh, and I even have the
dates that the HVAC,

and all the major
appliances were installed.

I can't believe this.

[laughs] Wait until you
see the master bedroom.

So, in here, you'll see
there's tile countertops,

uh, the cabinets are brand new

and there's even an
internet-connected fridge

- and icebox.
- Where's the ghost?

Excuse me?

Something terrible
must have happened

for the owner to be
serious about the price.

So, here's the deal.

The financing is a little

unconventional.

And there's the catch.

No, it's not bad, I promise.

I suppose you're not prepared
to make an all-cash offer?

Don't worry about it.

Hardly anyone nowadays

has that kind of
capital lying around.

The owner understands that.

The thing is, is
that he needs cash,

and he needs it quickly.

He's one of these, you
know, entrepreneurs.

So, what can we do?

Well, you can sign the papers,

and then you can make
the down payment,

and then you sell your house,

and take out a
mortgage on this one,

you can pay the
owner the difference.

That way, he gets
his cash right away

and you get your house.

Isn't that a bit risky?

Oh, for him, sure,
but not for you.

I mean, if you can't
pay him the difference,

that's his issue,
it's not yours.

How long do I have
to think about it?

Well, you're the first person
I've shown this to today

and I have about half
dozen more coming.

So, you have to ask yourself,

how long is a house like this
gonna last in today's market?

[sighs]

[Meghan] Did you think about

what we discussed last time?

I thought about it.

But you didn't
mention it to Tom?

Becca, I have a fiduciary
responsibility to you...

No, you don't.

As your father's lawyer,

I have a fiduciary
responsibility to his estate

and your inheritance
is part of that.

But as far as I know,
there was no stipulation

about a prenup.

No, that's true.

Good, then I don't wanna
keep talking about it.

I was not only your
father's lawyer, Becca,

I was his friend
and your mother's.

Now, I only want
what's best for you.

What's best for me
is not a prenup.

May I ask why you're
so against it?

Because it anticipates that
the marriage is gonna fail.

No, that's simply not true.

It protects you in the
event that it fails.

Like, life insurance,
health insurance,

- or auto insurance.
- That is not the same thing.

It's exactly the
same thing, Becca.

Your other examples are
for unavoidable situations.

Divorce, it's
entirely voluntary.

Becca, 50% of marriages

end in divorce, 50%, that's
not me being pessimistic.

And it's not a comment on
you and Tom's relationship.

Those are the facts.

Now, for you not to take a
precaution against something

with a 50% failure rate,
it's just not prudent.

Meghan, I appreciate
your concern.

I always do,

but that is not why I'm
here to talk to you.

Okay. Okay. I've said my piece.

Okay. Now, what is it?

I wanna know if there
would be any issues

should Tom and I purchase a
house before we're married.

No, from a legal perspective,

- it makes it more complicated.
- Why?

Because the laws
for married couples

are always more
straightforward. Streamlined.

- Whose house would it be?
- Both of ours.

A shared asset.

Yes, shared.

How do you plan to
purchase the home?

What do you mean?

Do you plan to buy it outright?

No, we don't have
that kind of money.

What about the down payment?

Becca...

[Tom] I had a long day, Becca.

Do we really have to
talk about this now?

This house is gonna be
gone before you know it.

Well, if something looks
too good to be true,

- probably is.
- Well, I told you,

the financing was a
little unorthodox,

but that's my problem.

Why is it your problem?

[sighs]

Because it's your money, right?

That's what you meant?

I didn't really
mean it like that,

but in a few months,
it will be our money.

But the truth is,

most of it is from
my inheritance.

You love to remind me
of that, don't you?

Tom this house is perfect.

I really want it.

I don't know, Becc.

Five hundred thousand
dollars is a lot of money.

That's all of your savings.

[laughs]

Okay. As long as you
know what you're doing.

[dog barking]

[Samantha] Here's
the master bedroom

and there's three more bedrooms

- right there down the hall.
- Great.

So, I can have my own office?

[laughs] You can have
multiple offices.

So, what do you think?

I think...

I think this can't be real.

Well, you're a
lawyer, Mr. Hudson.

Just wait until you
review the documents.

[ man ] Hello, hello!

There he is now. Come on.

So, these are the new suckers?

[laughs] Stop it, Riley.
You're going to scare them off.

At the price they're
getting, I don't think so.

Becca Sanders, Tom Hudson, I'd
like you to meet Riley King,

- the homeowner.
- Ah, not for long, I hope.

Come on, folks. Let's
put this deal to bed.

[Samantha] Yeah, let's do it.

[Tom sighs]

Where do we sign?

Oh, okay. We'll sign,
but I-I have to ask.

Why?

Excuse me?

You could get 20% more
for this house, at least.

- Um, but...
- We all know that.

Probably more, but
not right away.

It would take time.

And as I know, Samantha
has explained to you all,

I need this cash immediately.

Not one, two, three
months, down the line,

which is how long
these deals can take

for all the funding
to come through.

Once you sign this,

per the contract,

the money is immediately wired.

Plus, if y'all can't come
up with the rest of funds,

ownership reverts back to me.

It's no risk.

That's true,

but you're giving us a year.

That's an extraordinarily
long period of time.

And I'm fine with that.

But in essence, you're giving us

a 12-month
interest-free mortgage.

Then I guess sometimes,

it's best not to look a
gift horse in the mouth.

[laughter]

[Samantha laughs]

Congratulations.

Thank you.

[birds chirping]

[dramatic music]

I love it.

[gasps]

[squeals] I love it.

- Hmm.
- Hmm.

- Hey.
- Hmm?

Let's go check out the bedroom.

[laughs] Okay.

[mellow music]

[laughs]

What's that? Are these optional?

[Becca laughs]

This doesn't feel real, does it?

No, it doesn't.

I can't believe how much of
the furniture he left behind.

He really didn't leave
it. He did charge us.

Yeah, but he just
tacked it on the top.

And it's like you said,

he is financing your interior
decorating interest-free.

Uh-hmm.

Tom, I know things haven't
been easy for us lately,

but with the new house and
you about to make partner,

I just... I feel...

Shh, shh. So do I.

[birds chirping]

[suspenseful music]

Hello?

Tom?

Have you been in
the backyard yet?

Uh-hmm.

You know, I'm just wondering

if you've met the neighbors.

Uh-uh.

Well, I was just out back,

and then thought
I heard something.

What?

Like, maybe someone

watching through the bushes.

[laughs] Come on.

I haven't met them
yet, but I highly doubt

our neighbors are peeping Toms.

That's not what I said.

Then what?

I don't know. I just
got a weird feeling.

Well, it's a new house.

You'll get used
to it. I promise.

[suspenseful music]

Hey, who are you?

I own this house.

What?

Okay. So, he's gonna
be staying at a hotel.

You're just lucky he's
being so nice about this.

Nice about this.

What are you talking
about? This is our house.

What do we do now, Detective?

Look. Ms. Sanders, I'm
gonna be honest with you,

this is a new one for
me. I've never seen

anything like this before.

Ah, but at this
hour of the morning,

I just don't have the manpower
to get to the bottom of this.

So, I don't know if
these documents are real,

though I have no reason to
believe that they're not.

So, why don't you
both just try to relax

and come by the
precinct later today

and we'll see if we can
make heads or tails with it.

Thank you, Detective.

I'll let myself out.

What do we do now?

We're not gonna do
anything. This is our house.

You don't have anything
to worry about.

I'll take care of this.

[sighs]

[birds chirping]

There you are.

I was wondering where you were.

I was here.

Didn't get any rest?

Been on the computer for hours.

[Tom] Work?

Doing what?

I'm looking for them.

Looking for who?

Samantha Ryan, the
real estate agent.

Did you know there's nothing
about her at all online?

And Riley King, there
is no mention of him

owning this house ever.

No. I'll be home early.

We can swing by the
police station then.

Wait, where are you going?

What do you mean,
where am I going?

I'm going to work.

Today?

Becca, I have to work.

I wouldn't be of any use
sitting around here anyway.

But, Tom, I just feel
like we should...

Hey, don't worry. I'll fix this.

- You keep saying that.
- Yeah, because I will.

You have my word.

Have a good day.

[birds chirping]

Hey, you okay?

Yeah.

Yeah. I was finally
able to get some sleep.

I was at the police station.

What? I thought we
were gonna go together.

It was crazy at the office.

Passed the station
on the way home

and I just figured I'd stop by.

I spoke to Detective Ross.

What did she say?

It's not good, Becs.

It's not good.

Ross said that as a lawyer,

I would have a better chance
of getting restitution

from them than she would.

But we don't even
know these people.

I know. I know. It's crazy.

And I hate to say it,
but I'm not surprised.

The police are so busy,
unless someone's murdered.

It's hard to get them
to look into anything.

Just not a priority.

But how do we go
about finding them?

- I've tried.
- I don't know.

I just wanted to let you
know what I found out.

And I do have a
little good news.

The guy who owns the house,
he's going back to Hawaii.

I spoke to him. We're
gonna rent it from him

on a week-to-week basis.

That's for the short-term.

But what about the long-term?

What about when he
wants to move back

- into his own home?
- I can't keep having

the same conversation
with you, Becs.

I will take care
of it, I promise.

Trust me.

It's not a matter of trust.

It's a matter of
figuring this out

- and doing the right thing.
- Which is what I'm doing.

Okay? And don't wait up for me.

I might be late, lots to do.

[dramatic music]

I'm sorry, Becs, but
this makes no sense,

no sense.

- I know.
- You're telling me

the police can't do anything

because you were robbed
with a pen and not a gun?

That's just as bad.

According to Tom,
the detective said,

we have a better chance
if Tom handles it.

Then why isn't Tom handling it?

I know you thought
this house was gonna be

a good thing for you guys,

but it seems to have
made things worse.

And I can't stand to
see him do this to you.

[Becca] He's not doing anything.

It's basically my fault.

I was the one that
found the house

and I persuaded him
to make the deal.

With your money.

He reviewed all the documents

and he's a lawyer.

Look, this house,

the fact that you don't own it,

don't you think that maybe...

- What?
- I don't know.

Maybe the universe is trying
to tell you something.

Okay, look, let's just say
Tom is handling this his way.

Who's to say you
can't handle it yours?

If Tom's gonna be my
husband, I need to trust him.

You've trusted him once.

And look where you are.

You need to talk
to that detective.

Come in.

Oh, Ms. Sanders, come on in.

I hope I'm not barging in.

I'm here to help, Ms. Sanders.

Have a seat.

I have to admit I was
expecting you earlier.

Well, I don't really think
Tom wanted me to come at all.

Why is that?

Well, after what you said,

I think he figured he could
just handle it on his own.

Oh, I just meant that
there wasn't a lot

we could do at 6:00 AM,
but I didn't mean to imply

that we wouldn't pursue this.

No, I meant when he came
here to talk to you.

I didn't speak to your
fiance here today.

You didn't see him?

Maybe he talked to someone
else, a different officer?

Well, I've been here all day
and if he spoke to someone else,

let alone gave an
official statement,

I would have been
notified right away.

It's my case.

But he said that he came here

and talked to you.

Um, well, is there
anything you can do?

I should hope so.

I've... what you
told me is bizarre,

but I do think we can find them.

Tom thought he could
take care of it himself.

Ms. Sanders, uh,
from what you said,

you've been swindled
out of over $500,000.

It's grand larceny,

a very serious criminal offense.

So, I would hope that you
would let us do our job.

I'm sorry, I have to go.

I need to speak to Tom.

Ms. Sanders, when you're
ready to tell us...

Sorry, I have to go.

[door closes]

[dramatic music]

Oh, jeez.

Becca, what are you doing?

You lied to me, Tom.

And I just can't figure out why.

You're not even gonna
try and deny it?

Well, since I have no idea
what you're talking about

and I didn't lie to
you about anything.

What should I try to deny?

I went to the police
station today.

Oh.

And I spoke to Detective Ross.

Okay.

And you didn't.

[dramatic music]

I assume you want
an explanation.

The truth is, we
could go after 'em.

It wouldn't be that hard
for someone to find,

whether it's police or
private investigator.

But, I'm not sure that's
the smart thing to do.

What are you talking about?

Becca, I'm about to make
partner in a law firm.

This case, this suit
would go public.

What would it say
about me as an attorney

that I fell for
something like this?

So, you're worried
about your pride?

I don't...

I don't care about my pride.

But this, what happened,

this is what we're supposed
to protect our clients from.

What... if my colleagues,

or God forbid, the other
partners found out,

they'd lose all
confidence in me.

Tom, it is half a million
dollars of my money.

- All of my savings.
- I know. I know.

But as partner, I would
make that back in a year.

Yeah. I don't know.

You know, it doesn't
matter 'cause I'm making

- the decision on this.
- Excuse me?

I'm cleaning up our mess, Becca.

You have to trust me that I know
the best way to handle this.

How can I trust you when
you just lied to my face?

You know, trust
me, don't trust me.

I don't care. This
is what we're doing.

It's easy for you to say
when it's not your money.

[laughs] Oh, there it is.

This is how it's gonna
be after we're married?

You always holding your
inheritance over my head?

What happens when I start
bringing in the bucks?

Will that be my money then?

[keyboard keys clacking]

Wow.

I've never seen you
like this before.

Like, what?

Speechless.

Oh, I'm not speechless.

I have plenty to say.

I'm just afraid of
wasting my breath.

Go ahead, say it.

You're not married yet, are you?

No.

And it is your money.

Yes.

Then I don't really
know what the hell

y you're waiting for.

I mean, the police

can go after these guys, right?

Then why aren't you telling
them to bring out the cavalry?

'Cause Tom wouldn't like it.

[Annie] Are you
listening to yourself?

No. Tom is just as
responsible as you are

for losing that money.

And now, you won't
even let the cops

investigate who took it?

Well, what he said
kinda makes sense.

Oh, that it would
look bad for a lawyer

to have the wool
pulled over his eyes?

That's like refusing to
go to a brilliant doctor

because he once got sick.

No. What he said
about making partner,

because when he does,

the money we lost
won't really matter.

[sighs]

What?

Nothing. It's just...

[scoffs] It's just,

the Becs I know wouldn't
just let this go.

Who said I was letting it go?

I just said I wasn't
going to the cops.

Oh.

Well, what did you have in mind?

Oh, uh, good morning.

- Can I help you?
- [Becca] I hope so.

I would like to speak
with one of your agents,

Samantha Ryan.

Um, sorry.

We don't have anyone by
that name that works here.

Are you sure you have
the right office?

We have branches
all over the city.

Are you sure?

Because this is
her business card.

That is our branch,
but let me check.

[sighs]

Nope. She doesn't work here.

And according to our system,

she's not employed by
Lighthouse Realty at all.

Could you do me a favor?

Uh, would you look
at this picture

and tell me if
you recognize her?

Sure.

Hmm.

I took that photo of the house.

That's Samantha Ryan,
standing right there.

Nope, I don't recognize her.

Let's see.

Actually, she looks
a little familiar.

Do you mind if I
show this to someone?

- Please.
- Okay.

[sighs]

Do you have a minute?

Our office manager, Jane Kaplan

wants to talk to you.
I think she can help.

Great.

[Jane] So, you're saying
the woman in this picture

sold you a house?

[Becca] Yes, Samantha Ryan.

Do you know her?

Well, I do know her,

but her name is
not Samantha Ryan.

No?

Her name is Mia Horner
and she used to work here.

Wait. I don't understand.

You know, I'm really
not sure I do either.

But if that woman is
representing herself

as an agent of
Lighthouse Realty,

well, I'm sorry she's not.

Well, can you tell
me why she left?

She didn't leave.

Then can you tell me
why she was fired?

Uh, I'm sorry. Regulations.

I'm really not at
liberty to say.

But she was fired?

She didn't leave voluntarily.

And I suppose you don't have
any contact information for her?

Even if I did, I couldn't
share it with you.

I understand.

I'm sorry I couldn't
have been of more help.

Thank you for your
time, Ms. Kaplan.

Have a wonderful day.

[Tom] I told you
to leave it alone!

No, you told me not
to go to the cops!

- You knew what I meant!
- I didn't know what you meant.

I didn't think there was any
issues going to her office.

And I'm glad that I did

because now, we
know that Samantha

- or Mia was in on it too.
- We knew that already.

There's no way that Riley guy
could've done that on his own.

He needed the documentation.

He needed somebody
on the inside.

Well, now, that we
have more information,

we know that she was fired.

Why can't we just
take it to the cops?

It wouldn't change anything.

We could have her written
confession signed,

sealed, and delivered.
It wouldn't matter.

I'm protecting us.

I don't understand.

The man that I fell in love with
wouldn't just leave this alone.

I don't know why you're
not more upset about this.

Because I'm a lawyer, Becs.

I'm able to think
objectively about it.

Don't patronize me.

If you're such a good lawyer,
then why don't you do your job?

Get my... [sighs]

Get our money back.

Hmm?

Why can't you just
do what I say?

It's not what our
marriage is gonna be like.

I just do what you
say all the time.

That's not what I meant
and you know it. Okay?

You don't have to take
everything so literally.

We just lost $500,000.

How literal is that?

You're never gonna let
me forget that, are you?

Always gonna hold
that over my head?

It just happened.

I know you, Becs.

That is what you'll do.

If I'm so bad, why
don't you just leave?

Why don't you walk
out that front door?

Don't tempt me.

[door closes]

[sighs]

[rattles]

Please don't hurt me.

Were you followed?

What? By who?

You need to leave.

Now.

No. Not until you tell
me what's going on.

You know what's going on,

who I am, what I did.

Why?

Why?

[chuckles]

For $500,000.

That's why.

At least my cut of it.

[Becca] So, that's what
you and your partner do,

just real estate scams?

The less you know, the better.

I could go to the
police, you know.

[sighs]

I suppose you will.

The police aren't
who I'm afraid of.

What? Then who?

These people.

Becca, look,

you need to just let this go.

Trust me.

This could get so much worse.

Who's Riley?

Is that who hired you?

Hey.

Hey, talk to me.

[ Detective Ross ]
You changed your mind.

May I ask why?

I just want you to investigate.

Ms. Sanders, if
there's something

that you are not telling me...

This is the real
estate agent's address.

Her name is not Samantha Ryan.

It is Mia Horner.

And you know this how?

She told me.

She told you?

I spoke to her.

She was scared, terrified.

So, I think you should
take care of it.

Well, you made the right
decision, I suppose.

So, you'll talk to her?

Yes. But I still feel like

there's something
you're not telling me.

If there's anything else

that I find out,
I'll let you know.

Hey.

[exhales deeply]

[Tom] You okay?

I went to the police and
I spoke to Detective Ross.

[Tom] You did what?

Why?

Because it's the
right thing to do.

We should have done
that in the first place.

[Tom] Becca, I explained to you

- why we couldn't do that.
- Yeah.

You explained it,
but it honestly

never really made much sense.

You're jeopardizing my
partnership, my career.

- You know that.
- I don't really think

that's the most important
thing right now.

So, we're out 500 grand

and I'm not in a position

to make that back for us?

What did you tell the cops?

I told them about Samantha

and who she really is.

And I told them to
start the investigation.

You shouldn't have
done that, Becca.

Tom, what's going on?

Tom, hey,

I know things haven't been
good with us recently,

but I know you.

Please, if there's
something going on,

you can talk to me.

Tom.

Tom.

[suspenseful music]

[siren wailing]

[indistinct radio chatter]

Uh, ligature marks, petechiae,

uh, there's no question
she was strangled.

With?

Probably a piece of
clothing, like a scarf.

Uh, no fibers like
we see from a rope.

Any idea when she died?

Hmm, best guess,

a couple hours, but
no more than that.

Uh, rigor mortis
has already begun.

Oh, okay. Thanks.

Heard you found
this one yourself.

I'm sorry.

How'd you know she
was in trouble?

There's no signs of
a struggle anywhere.

No, I didn't.

I was coming here
to interview her.

She's a suspect in a case,
I came to the front door

and saw that the window
next to it was broken.

So you came in?

So I came in.

Damn shame.

- Yeah. Excuse me.
- Uh-hmm.

Well, good news, Detective.

We found a lot of usable prints.

Well done, Selwyn.

Well, forensics pulled them.

Off the front door then?

Front door? No, back door.

The front window was broken.

That's how the perpetrator
made it into the house.

Well, they dusted everywhere.

Nothing on the glass.

Nothing on the
doorknobs inside or out.

But the back door, that
was covered in prints.

Listen, do me a favor.
Go down to the precinct,

do a rush on these prints,
call me if you find anything.

- Right away, ma'am.
- All right. Thank you.

[siren wailing]

- Detective Ross.
- Ms. Sanders, we need to talk.

Of course. Come in.

[ Detective Ross ] No, I
think you better come with me.

I don't understand.

Please.

Can you tell me how she died?

Why don't you tell me?

I would tell you if I knew.

I have no idea.

Why would I tell you
to go and talk to her

and then go and kill her?

I don't know.

I wouldn't because I didn't.

Look, I'll tell you
whatever you wanna know

but why do you
think I killed her?

Because we found your
prints at the scene.

Yeah, I went to talk to
her. I told you that.

They were on the back door,

a door that is clearly
not used very often.

I think it's time you start
telling us everything.

Okay. I will tell you but
you have to believe me

that I did not kill her.

When I went over
to Mia Horner's,

who I thought was Samantha Ryan,

I didn't think she
would let me in

once she saw that it was me.

After all, she
knew what she did.

So I broke in.

Well, I didn't really break in.

I went around the back

and the door was
open, so I just...

I went inside.

I don't really know
what I was thinking.

I just figured if I talked
to her face to face,

I could get some
solid information.

And was she there?

She came home and found
me inside her house.

Did she confront you?

Did you have some sort
of an altercation?

She was scared.

She was more scared

than I have ever
seen anyone ever.

- Of you?
- No, not of me and not of you.

Not of the police.

Well, then who?

I don't know. She
didn't tell me.

[Tom] Get up, Becca.
We're leaving.

[ Detective Ross ]
Mr. Hudson, please.

Your fiance is not under arrest.

You're damn right she isn't.

And since she has no
reason to speak to you,

because if she is, you
violated her rights

by speaking to her
without counsel present.

Yeah, I understand that
you're a lawyer, Mr. Hudson,

but you cannot just
waltz in here...

And I want the tapes
of this interrogation.

It is not an interrogation.

- No. She was just trying...
- Quiet, Becca.

- You've done enough damage.
- Mr. Hudson,

we all want the same thing here,

to find out who took
your money and why.

We never asked for your help.

And we don't want it.

Where were you last
night, Mr. Hudson?

[laughs]

I was in bed with
my fiance, asleep.

Why'd you let them go?
You could've held them.

She wasn't gonna say anything
else in front of him.

You think she did it?

Killed Mia Horner?

[scoffs] Not a chance.

Her fingerprints were the
only ones found at the scene.

[ Detective Ross ]
Well, if she did do it,

she would've wiped
those fingerprints clean

from the back door just
like whoever did do it

wiped them clean
from the front door

after they broke in.

I just don't understand.

[ Detective Ross ]
It makes no sense.

Why would you break into a house

when you knew the back
door was already unlocked?

And then, wipe your prints
clean from everywhere

but the back door, which
you freely admitted

you walked through
the day before?

So then who killed Mia Horner?

I don't know.

But those two have
something to do with it.

[suspenseful music]

[Tom] Here you go.

Thank you.

I figured you could use it.

Thank you for coming to get me.

What did you expect me to do?

I can't believe she's dead.

You should've seen her, Tom.

She was so scared.

Becs, I have... I have to ask.

Are you kidding me?

I have to be sure.

You seriously
think I killed her?

That I'm capable of doing
something like that?

You've done a lot of things
out of character lately.

I'm not even gonna dignify
that with a response.

They're gonna charge
you, you know.

- Is that what they said?
- No.

You're the only suspect

and your prints were all
over the crime scene.

But I didn't...

What's the matter? You okay?

Yeah. Yeah. I just
got a little dizzy.

You're probably exhausted.

Why don't you, uh, well,
lay down and get some sleep?

I'm not really...

[panting]

Could you be any dumber?

Watch yourself, counselor.

Why the hell did you kill her?

You told me to take care of it.

I didn't mean kill her.

Well, what's done is done.

Cops now have a
murder on their hands.

I want you to get
the hell out of town.

How? Hmm?

I don't have any money.

Oh, my God.

That'll get you started.

Until this thing blows over,

we should have zero contact.

Why can't I stay at my place?

Where do you think
the first place

they're gonna look
is, you idiot?

Look, there's no way to
tie me to her or me to you.

She was supposedly
your real estate agent.

- Think!
- Yeah, yeah, yeah,

but you're not gonna
tell them that.

No, but Becca will.

So just do what I say.

Fine.

But this squares us.

Squares us? Yeah.

I keep you out of jail for life

and you botch the one
thing I asked you to do.

I don't think so.

Look, we're both
in this together.

You just remember that.

Are you threatening me?

I don't need to threaten.

You know what I'm capable
of more than anyone.

I'm supposed to be
frightened of you

because you threw a sucker
punch in a bar fight?

No. I don't think so.

And just remember this,

when push comes to shove,

I'm a lawyer with a
stellar reputation.

And you are an ex-con
with a rap sheet.

Who do you think people
are gonna believe?

Pleasure doing business
with you, counselor.

- Watch your tone with me.
- Oh, why?

You can't even
handle your own wife.

What are you gonna do to me?

[grunting]

[snaps]

Don't worry, Riley.

Consider this one pro bono.

Hey.

How'd you sleep?

[Becca] Good.

I feel like I was drugged.

Exhaustion.

With everything going
on, you needed your sleep

and you passed out on the couch.

Why aren't you at work?

I told them I'd go in later.

- We need to talk, Becs.
- Okay.

I tried, Becs.

I really tried.

What are you talking about?

This, us, making it work.

I just... I can't do it anymore.

I just... I can't.

Are you saying
you wanna break up

or you wanna call
off the engagement?

I'm not saying I want to.

But all things considered,
yeah, I think it's for the best.

And it's not just
everything going on now.

Things haven't been
good for a while.

You know that. We both do.

I thought a new
house would help,

a project for you,

more time for me.

But we saw how that went.

My friends warned me about you.

They saw the real you and
I wouldn't listen to them.

In fact, before everything
happened with the house,

even Annie asked
me if I was sure

I was making the right choice,
do you know what I said?

No, Becca, what'd
you say to her?

I said that marriage is
in good times and bad.

It's not just the bad times.

I could deal with that.

You've become irrational.

I've become irrational?

Plus I've gotta think
about my career.

Your career?

If I was worried about
how it would look

to be involved
with a fraud suit,

imagine being married to
a woman accused of murder.

So you're breaking up with me
so that you can make partner?

No, that's not the reason, okay?

That... it's all of it.

All of it together.

I can't believe
this is happening.

I honestly can't believe this.

I never wanted this.

With everything going on, I
think it's for the best, okay?

- Of course I'll move out.
- No.

I will move out.

Come on, don't be
the martyr, okay?

It's just till the real
owner moves back in.

I'll come and get my things
while you're at work.

And I never wanna see you again.

Becs, come on.

Go ahead. Say it.

Say what?

I told you so.

I'm not here to
chastise you, Becca.

I'm here to help you.

Thank you.

Now, you do know I'm
an estate lawyer,

not a real estate
lawyer. I do have to say,

this is one of the strangest
situations I've ever heard of.

Imagine how I feel.

[Meghan] Now, the first
thing I will say, however,

that we should wait
till the police wrap up

their investigation
to do anything.

Why?

Because in the criminal
case like this,

and that's exactly
what this is now,

it's best to wait to see

how all of this played out

before you even
consider a civil suit.

Now, when you and Tom
signed the contract

for the house, were
you under duress?

No. Does that matter?

[Meghan] If it's
fraud, not really.

I... I'm just trying
to get a sense

of how all of this played out.

If I was somehow to
get the money back,

would it be mine?

Hmm. It can get messy.

Because?

Oh, because we're not
talking about cash anymore.

That Tom would be entitled
to. You're not married,

you don't have a
prenup agreement.

And, um, the house is an asset

and something you both own.

But that's the thing.
We don't own it.

[Meghan] I understand that.

But your investment,
the down payment,

it's not liquid.

That's why I said
it's complicated.

What if I have to sue Tom?

- You're jumping the gun.
- No, but what if?

That all depends.

On what?

On what he knew about the scam.

[suspenseful music]

You didn't have to leave work.

Are you kidding me?

What kind of friend would I be

if I let you wander the
streets like a hobo?

Come here. You're
due for some TLC.

Yeah. Well, I just
want you to know

that you absolutely
made the right decision.

It wasn't really my choice.

Tom was the one
that brought it up.

[Annie] Yeah, but
you were proactive

and you didn't
let him bully you.

You're the one who
walked out on him.

Yeah. I guess.

I know it's tough, Becs,

and it's gonna get even tougher.

But this is for the best.
And I think you know that.

I mean, at least you get to
move forward with your life.

There must be something
liberating about that.

Sure.

I'm $500,000 lighter.

Oh.

Hey, can I be honest with you?

Always.

You're gonna think
I'm a terrible person.

[Annie] Hey, listen, I already
think you're a terrible person.

Nothing could change that.

- The engagement ending...
- Uh-hmm.

It's devastating,

but I can understand
it, sort of.

But the scam and the fact that
Tom didn't go to the police

and then he lied about it,

I can't get it out of my head.

[Annie] Because?

Because it doesn't make sense.

A lot of what Tom did
doesn't make sense, Becs.

That woman, Mia Horner, who
was involved in the scam,

she just winds up dead.

That can't be a coincidence.

Well, maybe it
was the other guy,

her partner, who killed her.

Maybe, but...

But what? What is it?

[sighs]

Do you think Tom
could be involved?

What do you mean, with them?

Oh, I don't know.

If there's one thing
we know about Tom,

it's that he doesn't
like to lose.

He doesn't like
to lose anything,

which is why he's so
obsessed with making partner.

But it doesn't make sense
that he wouldn't pursue this

and go after these people
to the ends of the earth.

So, uh, what are you gonna do?

I don't know, but I
have to do something.

Well, I have an
idea for right now.

Let's uncork another bottle

and toast

to the first day

of your new life.

[dramatic music]

[sirens whirring]

[sighs]

I forgot my charger.

[suspenseful music]

Oh, you're a guest in my
house, Becs, not a barista.

I figured it was the
least I could do.

Thank you.

I saw your, uh, stun
gun, by the way.

Hey, when you're a single
girl who lives alone,

you can't be too careful.

And what are you doing
digging around my drawers?

I was looking for
a phone charger.

You didn't get any
sleep, did you?

I couldn't sleep

and I couldn't stop thinking

about what we were
talking about.

What? About Tom being involved?

So, what do you think
you're gonna do?

Ask him.

Huh.

[Morgan] Hi, can I help you?

I'm going to see Tom Hudson.

Do you have an appointment?

No, but he's expecting me.
It's a personal matter.

Is there something wrong?

No, I'm sorry.

It's just I've been
here about a week

and I've seen
Mr. Hudson with his wife

and I didn't know if
that was you or not.

Like I said, I'm sorry.

Let me just call
Mr. Hudson for you.

Did you just say his wife?

Well, I mean, I've
seen him with her.

I just assumed it was his wife.

Is this her?

Is this his wife?

Does she work here?

I, um, I don't...
I don't think so,

but like I said, I just
saw them leaving together.

Look, hey, um, please
don't say anything.

I... I'm not trying to
get into any trouble.

[suspenseful music]

[sighs]

[Becca] We were right, Annie.

I just came from Tom's office

and the man at the front desk

said he thought Mia
Horner was his wife.

He said he saw them together.

Wait, so Tom was
having an affair?

I don't know, but that is
not what I'm afraid of.

Okay. So what, you
think Tom killed her?

I don't wanna believe that
he could, but I don't know.

If Tom and Mia were
in on it together...

- Then the other man...
- Riley King.

Then Riley was in on it, too.

We have to find Riley.

We have to get
some sort of proof.

Okay. Um, but how?

I have an idea.

Wait. And there
won't be an alarm.

I know the code and
I have Tom's keys.

- Looks like they're closed off.
- Amen to that.

- Let's go.
- Okay.

[suspenseful music]

Okay. I'm gonna look
around Tom's office

and if you see anyone, just tell
them you're delivering food.

Wait, wait, wait. To who?

Just make up a name.

And if you don't see anyone,
just come and find me, okay?

Okay. Okay. I'll go.

[suspenseful music]

Yes.

[suspenseful music]

Hey.

Yeah. You found what
you're looking for?

- Not yet.
- [Annie] So how can I help?

You want me to look
on his computer

- and see what I can find?
- No, I wouldn't bother.

That's all password protected.

That's the good
thing about lawyers.

All of their documentation
is hard copies.

Yeah, I guess that
would make sense.

- Riley King.
- Yes.

Oh, my gosh.

[suspenseful music]

Where you going?

We already did that office.

[male custodian 1 ]
We took out the trash.

- [Annie] Hurry up. Put it away.
- [male custodian 2 ] Exactly.

- [Annie] Hurry.
- I need to sweep.

Do you really think
anybody's gonna notice?

[male custodian 1 ]
That's not the point.

[male custodian 2 ] Come
on, let's get out of here.

I wanna go home.

I'll do it tomorrow.

You promise?

I promise.

Okay. Cool.

Wait, wait, wait.

Okay. Come on.

[suspenseful music]

Come on. You're
keeping me in suspense.

Okay. Okay. I just wanna make
sure I understand all of this.

Just give me the broad strokes.

Okay. Riley King was
definitely Tom's client.

And it looks like
Tom got him off.

Off from what?

Murder.

Murder?

It was a bar fight or something

and Tom pled it down
to manslaughter.

Okay. So he must have
felt like he owes Tom.

Or Tom thinks he does.

[Annie] So Tom convinced Riley

and Mia Horner to scam
you both out of $500,000?

But if Tom and Mia
were having an affair,

why would he kill her?

[sighs]

And the biggest question
of all, where is my money?

Okay. Look, Becs, we need to
go to the police, like now.

This is becoming way too
much for the two of us.

But I don't know if
this is enough proof.

If what is?

That Riley was Tom's client.

Well, it certainly
isn't a coincidence.

Come on.

You need to talk
to that detective.

There's someone else
I wanna talk to first.

Who?

Riley King.

[Annie] So you're certain
that this is his house?

This was the address listed
in the legal documents.

Hmm.

You know what's weird?

If Riley knew he was
partaking in a scam,

why did he use his real name?

I mean, Mia Horner didn't.

Well, I imagine because
of the house sale,

some of the documents had to
be real for bank accounts.

You need IDs, real IDs.

Yeah, you're probably right.

So what's the plan?

Ring the bell and tell
him we wanna talk to him.

And if no one's home?

Then we go to Plan B.

I got into Mia Horner's through
the back door that was open.

So if he's not home, we
try a basement window.

Let's just hope he's home.

Looks like the
door's cracked open.

[Annie] What?

- [Becca] Let's go.
- [Annie] Oh.

Yeah.

[suspenseful music]

Okay.

We should go to the cops.

Hello?

Hello? Riley?

Come on.

Okay. Wait.

You said you just
wanted to talk to Riley,

not rifle through his house.

[suspenseful music]

[Annie] Whoa.

It looks like there was

there was some kind of fight.

You think it was Tom?

I don't know.

Let's look around.

- Becs.
- Shh.

I don't know what
you hope to find.

I don't know. I'll
know when I find it.

[suspenseful music]

[Becca] Yes.

Password protected.

Well, it must be
around here somewhere.

You know how many people
in our office keep

their password on the Post-it

on the side of their
computer screen?

Hey, try that door.

Okay.

[screams]

Oh, that's him.

That's Riley King.

[indistinct chatter]

I'm not saying anything
without my lawyer.

Where's Annie?

She's in the other
room waiting for you,

having a coffee or a soda.

Can I see her?

What the hell were you thinking?

Well, you weren't
gonna listen to me.

And as far as you're concerned,

I have something to do
with Mia Horner's death.

Well, now thanks to
you, I can place you

at the location of two murders.

What, do you think I
murdered Riley King?

No, I don't.

Mr. King's hyoid
bone was crushed.

Do you know how hard it
is to do that to someone?

Well, unless you're
secretly a power lifter,

I would say you
are in the clear.

Tom?

Yeah, we think so.

They were working together.

I know that Tom was
once Riley's lawyer.

Which we could have discovered

had you told us about
your suspicions.

You know, believe it or
not, it's much easier for us

to search a database

than it is for you to
break into a law firm.

Yeah, your friend,
she sang like a bird.

Well, I was gonna come to you.

But I figured the
more I found out,

the more you could do about it.

You could have been
hurt or killed.

Where is Tom?

We don't know. We
can't reach him.

Well, I imagine he
doesn't wanna be reached.

According to his colleagues,
he hasn't been at the office.

- Did you try his cell?
- He ditched it.

Probably realizes that the
walls are closing in on him.

So, what now?

Well, if I were you,

I would not go
back to that house,

the one that you
think that you bought.

Oh, I haven't been
staying there.

I've been staying at Annie's.

Well, that's good.

I would keep staying
there if that's okay.

Of course.

So, am I free to go?

Detective Ross, my fiance

ex-fiance

murdered two people.

Do you think I'm in danger?

Well, that depends.
Do you have the money?

No.

Well, then I think you're safe.

I'm sorry to say, but I think
this was always about the money.

[dramatic music]

I feel like I should
get back to work.

You know, no one would blame
you if you took some time off.

I know. I just...

I want things to
go back to normal.

I know. I know it.

[phone ringing]

- Are you expecting someone?
- Uh-uh.

Hello?

It's Detective Ross.

Mind if I come in?

[Annie] Yeah, sure.
I'll buzz you in.

We're downstairs.

[buzzer buzzes]

- Hi.
- [Becca] Hello.

Care to join us?

Huh. I am still on the clock.

Otherwise, I might
take you up on that.

Is there something
wrong, detective?

[ Detective Ross ] Wrong? No.

On the contrary, I've
got some good news

that might make you wanna
open a second bottle.

Please have a seat.

We found the money.

Where?

Riley King's account.

So, that's why Tom killed him.

Tom was smart enough not to
put the money under his name,

at least not at first.
It'd be too risky.

And it was.

Soon as Riley King was murdered,

the judge issued the warrants.

What about Tom's accounts?

Well, we found them.

Probably some that you
aren't even aware of,

but the $500,000.

You accessed Riley
King's account?

Uh-hmm. Yup. It's all there.

So, what's this good news?

Well, as of today,

you can stop by the bank

and they will issue
you a wire transfer.

[sighs]

So, it's all mine?

It's all yours.

Unless Tom decides to show
up and try to claim it,

in which case, he would
be charged with fraud,

which he might not
care too much about,

considering he's also gonna be
charged with a double murder.

We'll talk soon, Ms. Sanders.

- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.

[ Detective Ross ] Welcome.

[Meghan] Oh.

[chuckles]

Thank you so much for coming.

Oh, of course.

I'm your lawyer now.

[Becca] I hope this
is just a formality.

[Meghan] Oh.

Now when I hear that,
that's when I get nervous.

[laughs] But don't worry.

I've got a copy of
the judge's ruling

in case there are any issues.

- Come on.
- Okay. Let's do this.

[Mr. Krebbs] Sign here, please.

I'm so glad this worked
out for you, Ms. Sanders.

Forgive me for saying so,

but from what the police
detective told me,

it sounds like a nightmare.

You have no idea, Mr. Krebbs.

[Mr. Krebbs] And I'm glad
that the judge signed off

on this transfer so quickly.

[Meghan] Well, is that
not typical, Mr. Krebbs?

[Mr. Krebbs] Well, I wouldn't
say that anything's typical.

You know, every
case is different.

This one, more than most.

I just want all of
this to be over.

Well, the worst is behind you.

Let's hope so.

Final signature right there.+.

Great. I'll authorize
this transfer

and the money should be in
your account by tomorrow.

Hmm. You'll furnish
us with confirmation

of the wire
transfer, Mr. Krebbs?

Of course.

So, no one will have access

to this account besides me?

Uh, no one.

And, uh, per the police
detective suggestion,

we'll be monitoring
the account 24/7.

Not that we anticipate
any problems,

but should there be any
suspicious activity,

we'll know right away.

[Meghan] And should there
be anything irregular,

anything at all,

I'd appreciate a
call, Mr. Krebbs?

You have my word.

- Thank you.
- [Mr. Krebbs] Thank you.

[suspenseful music]

[Meghan] Now don't be nervous.
I want you to sign these copies

because you are going
to get all this money

and place that creep in jail.

Yeah.

- You know.
- Thank you.

I can't believe
all this happened.

- [Meghan] Mmm Hmm.
- [Becca] It's crazy.

[sirens wailing]

[indistinct chatter]

To this thing all being over.

No, to you.

I could not have done
this without you.

And obviously, the
drinks are on me

because I just came
into some money.

It was always your money, Becs.

I know. I just had
to share it with Tom.

[Annie] I'm sorry.

I know how badly you
wanted to be married.

I wanted to be married to
the man I thought I knew.

Yeah.

Anyway, let's just
enjoy these drinks

because tomorrow, I'm
gonna start looking

for a new place to live.

You know you can stay with
me as long as you like.

- You know that.
- [Becca] I know.

It's just time for Becca
Sanders to start a new life.

Cheers to that.

[glasses chimes]

[phone ringing]

[screaming]

[Becca] Annie?

Well, you can answer.

But if you scream,
I will kill you.

Annie, what's going on?

Hey, Becs.

- Where's the money?
- Please don't hurt her.

It's in an account where
you will never get it.

Unless you transfer it to me,

which is exactly what
you're going to do.

[Becca] Or what?

You'll do to me what you
did to Mia and to Riley?

Oh, no, no. Just Riley.

He did Mia.

And then, well, you know
why I had to get rid of him.

Tom, we were happy once.

Well, why did you need
the money so badly?

You know what being
partner means, Becca, huh?

Stop moving.

That means you own
part of the company.

But for that, you have to
buy in $500,000 in equity.

Why didn't you just
ask me for the money?

'Cause you never would've
given me that money.

You know it.

You can't kill me, Tom.
You'll have to kill us both.

Oh, I don't have
to kill you both.

Just her.

Now, I'm out of patience
and she's out of time.

Your account number now.

Okay. Okay.

- [Tom] Move.
- I'll write it down.

Just don't hurt her.

[suspenseful music]

Why don't you stop
moving around?

Or I swear to God, this
ends badly for you.

You got that?

- Move.
- I'm writing it down.

[suspenseful music]

[Tom grunting]

[panting]

[suspenseful music]

Well, if he wasn't so greedy,

he probably would've got away.

We would've tracked
him down eventually.

I'm not in any trouble, am I?

[ Detective Ross ] Self-defense
against a murderer?

I think not, Ms. Sanders.

[dramatic music]

Hmm. Hmm.

You look good. [Laughs]

- Thank you.
- You really do.

More importantly, I feel good.

I honestly feel better than
I have in a really long time.

[Meghan] I read the online
article about what happened.

I still can't believe
it happened to you.

[laughs] That makes both of us.

I guess you're wondering
why I wanted to see you.

Yeah. I assume it can't be good.

But with Tom in jail,

I feel like I can
handle anything.

On the contrary, it's very good.

Now, I've been going
over some case law

and I think we have precedent.

Precedent for what?

The recovery money.

Now, that's all
yours, obviously.

It's in my account. I
checked this morning.

Uh-hmm. Uh-hmm.

Now, it's good,
but it's not all.

Uh-hmm.

I think we can make a good case

to go after Tom's assets.

[sighs] Now, whether or
not he's found guilty

and he will be found guilty,

I think we can make a good
case for you to receive

parts of his, you know,
assets, his savings,

his retirement
account, 401(k)...

Meghan, I appreciate it.

I really do,

but I just wanna move on.

I don't wanna hear the
name Tom Hudson ever again.

Unless it's when the judge says,

"Thomas Hudson, I
sentence you"...

Uh, okay. Yes, I
understand that, Becca.

I really do, especially now.

But, you know, you need
to think about the future.

And I just think you
need to go and get...

- Goodbye, Meghan.
- [Meghan] ...all the money

that I possibly can
from this snake.

[Becca] Thank you
for everything.

Get out of here.

Bye, Becca.

[laughs]
