I'm James Patterson, and I'm not answering that doorbell.

It's too bad Leo Fisher and his wife Susan do answer their doorbell in

creepy crawler episode.

Because what starts with a ends with a bang.

Take it from me, truth can be stranger than fiction.

And remember, this really happened.

Stab wound. Multiple location.

I'm pulling the trap. Grab her, David.

Who did this to you? David. Paul Mary Thomas. Leo, can you tell me?

Leo.

Leo! Sue!

Sue!

Who did this to you?

My wife.

My wife.

Get off him! Get off him!

Leo!

Miss TBC, the camera's down.

Let's get him on the table. All right. We need you to lie back.

Stay calm.

Where's my wife?

Where's my wife?

Have you seen my glasses?

On the table.

Oh, he's planning our next vacation.

Maybe. You have ten days to spare?

Not for a while.

How about a long weekend?

Guess I'll just send you a picture from Positano.

Me with a chilled glass of risotto.

Maybe Giancarlo and Lorenzo.

Smells good.

Dinner will be ready in 20 minutes.

Great.

I'll get it.

Sorry to bother you this evening, sir.

My name is Jeffrey Wilkins.

I'm with the SEC.

The... What can I do for you, Mr. Wilkins?

Are you Leonard Fisher?

Managing partner of Bean, Kinney, and Corman.

Why? Well, I've just come from Mr. Corman's residence.

And we're speaking to all the partners.

Tonight? Yes.

Time is of the essence.

We're investigating some misconduct that may have occurred at your firm.

Misconduct? I don't understand.

Yes. Um, I'd just like to ask you a few details.

Nothing on the record. Nothing official.

What details?

As I can come in, we can talk about it. What thing?

Tomorrow will be better.

I can't come back. Great.

If I do, I'm going to have to bring a warrant and police.

Honestly, I don't want to have to do that.

Okay, fine.

I have nothing to hide.

Nice plate.

Thank you.

We're about to sit down to dinner, so if you wouldn't mind... Yeah, sure.

So I'm particularly interested in anything you might remember from October

20.

Anything unusual that stands out.

Sally, I didn't know you were waiting.

There's a problem.

Unusual. I don't know what you're referring to.

Really? Yes, really.

That's odd.

The others said you would know.

They had an intimate knowledge of the deal.

Others? What others?

Your partners.

I'm not at liberty to talk about my partners, associates, or any business

matters related to my firm.

Even if something illegal is going on?

Nothing illegal is going on at my firm.

You sure?

Well, to my knowledge, yes, I'm quite sure.

But if there were something unlawful, you would speak up?

Yes, of course.

So do it now.

I'm sorry?

Do it now.

Speak up.

Save me the runaround, the paperwork.

What did you say your name was?

Jeffrey.

Jeffrey Wilkins.

Can I see your ID?

Yeah, sure.

I'm sorry, Mr. Wilkins. Jeffrey.

Jeffrey. I can't say anything more tonight.

But right now, I'm going to have to ask you to leave.

Really? Yes.

You're obstructing the investigation.

No, I'm done speaking to you tonight. You're my home.

I'm very sorry to hear that.

I'd much prefer we speak in an official capacity at my office.

I'd prefer for this to be on the record.

You can come to my office tomorrow.

I'd be glad to talk. Leo!

Please!

He's had bypass surgery.

Just last year.

I need to call an ambulance.

No. Can I at least call his doctor?

This is serious. You understand?

He could die.

What the hell do you want from us?

Everything's under control, Susan.

When Leo's ready, we can get down to business.

He's not going to be ready to do anything. Please, just call an

Yeah.

You okay?

You're breathing.

Slow down. You're breathing, honey.

I'm okay.

Regulate.

I am. I'm trying.

What are we going to do?

Just let me handle it.

You're not well, Leo. I'm okay.

Just let me talk to him.

I don't want the neighbors getting curious.

Listen, whatever you want, we can arrange it.

Just, just tell us.

Glad to see you're doing better, Leo.

Okay, everybody up.

Down the hall, that way.

Let's talk about October 15.

You sent an email.

Yes, I guess. I probably sent many emails.

You sent an email arranging to pay $300 ,000 for service.

I don't recall that.

You don't recall that?

No.

Leo, you're a liar.

I'm not lying.

Couldn't this entangle the firm in a legal activity?

The other partners need to know. No.

I mean slow down. Not yet.

Let me handle this myself.

Sure, we shouldn't... I'll take care of it, Sally.

He said he doesn't recall it. Please, what do you want? You come into our home

and you... Sue. Can I call you Sue?

No, you can't. Sue, what's with all the lip?

I'm not sure you're helping here.

Because my people, they don't mess around.

Especially when someone steps in and threatens them.

I honestly don't know what you're referring to. Sue, it shocked you to

your husband ordered a hit.

A murder on a member of a very dangerous cartel family.

Like a drug cartel? You aren't over your head, man.

You mess with the wrong people.

I don't know anything about drugs.

You sent an email arranging to pay 300 grand to have a member of my

organization... I didn't do anything of the sort.

Lying again, Leo?

Sue your husband's a liar.

Maybe someone else used my computer.

You sent the email, Leo.

And my partners are pissed.

So, tell me.

Do you still have the head out?

Why would he be so stupid to email something like that? Shut up!

I don't want to hear anything more out of you.

Understand?

How's your heart still?

How many of you are there?

Hmm?

At the firm.

How many of you sat in a room, put your little lawyer heads together, and

decided to kill part of my family?

Three? Four?

Nobody.

I don't know your family.

I swear on my life, I've never had a conversation about this.

You have the wrong person.

Who are your friends at the firm?

I don't... We socialize.

Mostly, they're just people I work with. Yeah, exactly.

You think anyone's got your back down there?

You think they're not rolling over on you right now?

Copping up names?

Turning over their hard drives?

They're all squealing like a bunch of stuck pigs.

And you know whose name keeps coming up?

Let's go.

No, no, please. No, you sit there. Don't move.

What the hell is that?

I am shutting it off.

Smoke a lot.

Fine, relax.

Mind anything?

Not yet.

It's under control.

What's taking so long? We don't have much time. Just get it and let's get out

here.

Yeah. Come back.

Yeah?

Relax.

Get to the bed. I told you, I took care of her.

What was that?

I lived.

Get up.

This ends now.

What are you going to do with him?

You'd be smart to stay right there.

Look, email.

Let's go.

Okay. Okay, whatever you want.

I'm signing it.

Okay. Good.

Let's sit over there.

Are you okay?

You could have just asked.

What?

This whole thing.

Tying us up, making up stories about drug cartels and hits.

Jeffrey, if you wanted to get into my firm email, you could have just asked.

You're in trouble, Leo.

And I'm going to collect the evidence I need to prove it.

And then things are going to be bad for you.

Here we go.

This is what we need.

This is illegal.

I know.

Then it could be dangerous for us.

Agreed.

What are you gonna do about it?

Okay. Yeah, good idea.

I'm looking.

Nothing.

I don't think you're really solid information.

There's... It would be very difficult to actually use anything you find in

there. Shut up, Leo.

Your job right now is just to sit there and keep your arrogant mouth shut.

Look at the 10 -day range.

October 10 to 20.

You sent more than one or two emails a day, right?

Right, yes.

There's nothing here.

I mean, 10 emails? Come on. I thought you said you found messages. I did. It's

nothing I... You're lying to me.

It's level with me.

You've got an alternate email.

Just for people at the firm with security clearance.

No. I mean, here we go again. I have a password.

If you search...

You're pretty smart, huh?

I tell you what, you're gonna go back, and I see y 'all that moment again, I'm

gonna kill you.

Got it?

Nothing.

Give me another name.

Anyone.

I saw someone outside, a woman in a car, that they were talking to on the phone.

They told him to do anything, so I gave him what he wanted and leave it.

I know what I'm doing, trust me.

Nothing. It's all just crap.

Payroll, new employee, luncheon. What the hell?

Where's the safe? We don't have a safe. Come on, people like you always have a

safe. Jeffrey, I swear we don't. Money. You keep money in the house.

We don't. Not much.

You do.

A hundred grand or something. My partner says you keep stacks somewhere.

We don't keep money like that. I think you do.

Twenty grand.

In a closet.

I don't know what you're talking about. Stop lying.

We have, in the other room, some valuable stuff. You can pay whatever you

I need money.

Where's the money? We don't keep money here.

Just what's in her wallet. Please.

They say they don't have money.

No. They say they don't have anything.

It's there. He's hiding it. Where?

Ask him.

Stop being such an idiot and just get the money.

You know what?

He's seen my face.

You just sat in the car texting like a teenager.

I'm the one here doing all the work, so I'm making the calls now.

Andrew, stick to the plan.

I am sticking to the plan.

You, stay here.

Let's go. No, please.

Just stay here!

I need anything made of gold.

My wife doesn't wear gold. Really? What's valuable?

What's valuable?

Come on, Leo. Give me all the money you have. I don't care how much.

Leo! Shut up, Sue!

Shut up!

Come on, Andrew. Answer the phone.

Leo, don't make this hard, man.

We could... I could go to an ATM.

I could get you cash, Jeffrey.

You think I'm stupid?

Think I'm gonna go to a bank and get caught on camera? No way.

Give me your wallet. It's in the bedroom. Stop pissing around and give me

something!

You think that I won't hurt you?

No, John, please.

Andrew, listen to me.

What'd you call me?

Thank you.

You should have talked, Leo.

Boom.

It's your residence.

I took care of it.

I'm coming out.

You're gonna die.

What is happening?

Did you get it?

Andrew.

Alicia.

Alicia.

Look, I just want us to understand each other, Alicia.

This business about your mortgage application... We didn't do anything

You put your husband down as an employee of the firm when he's not. It speaks to

a lack of integrity.

But Andrew did work for the firm.

You know, Andrew was never an employee, Alicia.

And putting him down as such on an official bank document is fraudulent.

illegal. He was hired on a project.

You misrepresented his situation.

Now, Sally and H .R. and Kim, the receptionist, said you wanted calls from

mortgage people directed to you.

That you would pretend to be the office manager and confirm Andrew's employment

here.

Is this true?

Were you going to impersonate an employee of the firm to commit fraud?

I think you should go home for the rest of the day.

Am I being fired?

Come back tomorrow morning and we'll talk.

Should I just clean out my desk?

This is total crap.

It's totally unfair.

We go home, we gather our heads, we get the evidence

we need, and then we sue his ass for wrongful termination, okay?

Car 6, I need a code 3 response to 777 Spicer Road.

Stab wounds, multiple locations.

Who did this to you?

Gee, tell me.

Alicia. Leah.

Who did this to you?

Alicia Andrew.

Andrew Small.

Okay? Answer me.

You need to pull yourself together.

There was nothing in the house.

No incriminating emails.

Nothing about you getting fired. And especially no money.

He had it.

He knew it. Knew it.

Then you should have gone in there.

You know I couldn't do that.

He would recognize me. He knew what it was already.

How?

Get your bag.

The gun.

Take it apart.

Jesus! You're covered in blood.

Five minutes only.

Understood.

Not through.

Sorry. I don't know.

We've got him.

Good. That's good.

Thanks to you.

Thanks to you.

Mr. Fisher, your wife just got out of surgery.

I see.

Why don't you come see for yourself?

I'm picking up Sue tonight from the hospital.

I know she's going to ask questions that I can't answer.

What do you want to know?

Why?

Why did they do it?

Look, I can tell you what they said, but it may not be what you want to hear.

Try me.

Andrew couldn't work after his injuries.

He suffered from chronic pain.

And got addicted to drugs.

They ran out of money, lost their home, and when Alicia was fired... They blamed

me.

I honestly kept her on three months longer than I wanted to.

I've got a question for you.

The night of the attack, when you recognized Andrew, why didn't you tell

I thought I could handle it.

I didn't want to escalate things.

But things escalated anyway.

I keep running through my mind what I could have done differently.

You couldn't have prevented that.

Look, you survived the nightmare.

In my book, you're both heroes.

Thank you, Detective.

I'm gonna go bring Sue home.

Thank you.
