[ child crying ]

Not again. Is that all that kid can do all day is whine and cry?

It's okay.

Oh, you're saying it's my fault now?

Stay away from me.

I've taken enough crap! I don't need anymore from you.

Stay away from me! Stop!

Just look at you. Marrying you was a mistake!

[ child continues crying ]

What do you do all day?

I am out there busting my ass, working hard,

and I come home to this!

She's scared. You're scaring her.

Shhh...

I'm- I'm sorry.

I'll decide when you leave.

You're pathetic. I'm sick of you and the whining and crying.

What kind of mother are you anyway?

Look at me, you are not going anywhere.

Sit down!

[ gun shot ]

Well...

Oh, baby, good to see you.

You've been gone four days, it feels like a lifetime.

I felt the same way, I thought of you the whole time.

How're you doin', darlin'?

I'm alright.

She never was much for words.

We've been married three months now,

I thought your daughter would have warmed up to me by now.

Giver her time.

She'll come around.

I know her. She will.

Uh huh?

Give me another kiss.

Shall we?

Yeah.

I've been thinking,

winters are cold here and I hardly have any friends.

Maybe we can move.

Spend our time somewhere else.

Now, you knew when we married that horses were my passion.

The country, the outdoors, it feeds my soul.

I'm sorry but this is who I am.

This is where I live.

I'll tell you what, hon.

We can take a vacation anywhere you wanna go.

I love you.

I love you, too.

You sure you want to do this? With your heart condition?

You've only known her six months

and already you wanna unlock the pre-nup.

What are you, crazy or something?

Between you lawyers and accountants,

you convinced me to sign

and I never should have in the first place.

Daniel, listen to me.

I've been your friend and lawyer for a long, long time.

This is about protecting you and your assets.

You gotta trust me on this one.

[ sighs ]

Ok, I'll tell you what.

Wait three more months.

If you still feel the same way I won't fight you on it.

Am I interrupting?

Not at all.

We were just talking business and Larry's on his way out.

Daniel.

You think about what I was talking about.

See you later.

Goodnight.

Is everything ok?

Couldn't be better.

Oh, Amanda and I are going to the auction in the morning.

I hate it when you two leave.

We'll be back before you know it.

You sure you wanna go?

Don't tempt me.

[ laughs ]

Well, I guess we've got the whole night then.

We do.

I can't believe how much I detest living on a ranch.

Miles away from a town, if you wanna call it that.

I mean, we could live anywhere in the world,

he chooses to live on a ranch.

Don't you have anything to say?

He's been nice to us.

Don't screw this up for us.

I'm sorry.

That's more like my little girl.

How are you doin' sweetheart?

Better now that I hear your voice.

Just wanted to check in before I went to bed.

You looking forward to the art auction tomorrow?

Yeah, but I'd rather be someplace else.

I know you've been wanting to go somewhere exotic,

so I booked us first class tickets to Miami.

What?!

Daniel, I love you!

I just want to make you the happiest woman in the world.

Oh, honey, you have.

Alright, I know you're tired.

I'll see you soon enough.

Nighty-night, baby.

I'm going to bed.

Goodbye, honey.

Nighty-night.

[ phone vibrating ]

[ voicemail ] Leave your name and number after the beep.

Hmm. That's strange.

Yes, you have a Ruby Nash staying there.

Nash.

N-A-S-H.

Yes, Ruby Nash.

Can you put me through to her please?

No, she's there, I just talked to her.

Can you try the room again please?

Thank you.

Mary, you have made me a very happy man.

And for that I have something really special for you.

You spoil me.

Oh...

May I?

Please.

There we are.

Thank you.

You like it?

Oh, it's beautiful.

I absolutely love it.

Something's bothering you, what is it?

I wasn't sure I was going to tell you.

I have to go to Miami for a while.

My aunt is ill.

Oh no.

Oh, my darling, I'm so sorry.

Well, how long will you be gone?

A few weeks perhaps.

I will think of you the whole time though.

Will you?

I will.

Let's not let this ruin our evening.

Oh, no.

Ok.

Cheers.

Cheers.

What are you doing?

You know this isn't a fairytale life we are living

so get that notion out of your head.

I'm sorry.

How was the trip?

Fine.

Hi.

Hey, sexy.

I love you.

Miami?

You and I on a beach?

Didn't you miss me?

You know I did.

How was the auction?

Oh, I didn't even bid.

Why not?

I won't bid just to spend your money.

I told you that.

You know, it's been a long drive.

Why don't I change, freshen up,

and make you your favourite dish?

Absolutely.

Ok.

Can I speak to Frank, please.

Daniel Nash speaking.

Frank, how're you doin', buddy?

Great, great, great.

Listen, I've got a question for you.

Did you happen to see my wife at the auction yesterday?

You didn't.

No, no, no, no, no, that's good.

Um, I'd appreciate it if you kept this between you and I.

Thanks.

[ phone ringing ]

Hey, gorgeous.

I knew you couldn't stay away.

Stay away from my wife.

Your wife?

That's right, my wife.

Ruby Nash.

Ruby Nash?

Who the hell's Ruby Nash?

I don't know any Ruby Nash.

Don't play me for a fool.

You leave my wife alone or I'll make your life miserable.

Larry, it's me.

When you get a chance I need you to give me a call

as soon as possible.

Thanks.

Mom?

Mom?

Mom?

Ruby?

What's wrong?

Who are you?

You weren't at the auction last night, you lied to me.

Who's Ted?

What are you hiding?

What, are you having me followed?

What're you accusing me of?

You know damn well what I'm accusing you of.

Is it true?

I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

You're sorry?

That's all you have to say for yourself?

No, Daniel.

Goodbye.

Ruby!

Rub-

[ choking ]

[ choking ]

[ groans ]

You ready to go into town?

Let's go.

Mom... what's going on?

What's going on?

Where's Daniel?

I'm sorry, Ruby.

Daniel's gone.

Wh- what are you saying?

Daniel gave me a call,

it sounded urgent so I came right over.

That's when I found him in the stable.

Oh no.

No. No!

Ruby.

Ruby. No!

No, Ruby!

No! No!

No!

[ sobbing ]

I am sorry for your loss, Mrs. Nash,

but I need to ask you a few questions.

Was your husband on any medication?

He was on blood thinners.

He had a heart condition a few years back.

When was the last time he saw a doctor?

I'm not sure.

Daniel doesn't like visiting the doctors.

I see.

First indication suggests

that his death was a tragic accident.

How?

We found a shelf knocked over in the stable.

Unfortunately the bleach and ammonia bottles

smashed and mixed,

forming chlorine gas.

It's extremely toxic and deadly when inhaled.

Can I please do this another time?

This is just too much.

I understand.

Thank you.

We can discuss this later at the station.

Thank you.

We're done here.

I'm so sorry, Ruby.

I just can't believe this happened.

I should have made him go to those check-ups.

No, he hated doctors.

Last time he saw a doctor was when he had his heart attack.

I just don't know what I'm gonna do without him.

Daniel loved you deeply.

He wanted me to annul the pre-nup.

He felt that two people in love shouldn't be bound by it.

I never would have allowed him to do that.

I loved him, not his money.

I mean, what good is all this without him?

I can see now why he loved you so much.

May I have some time alone please?

Of course.

Thank you.

[ door closes ]

[ exhales ]

There were a lot of people at the funeral.

He must have had a lot of friends.

He gave all that money to the church

and he left us $200,000 in a lousy pre-nup?

At least we can sell the house.

Why can't we stay there?

I think it would be a good change for us to go to Seattle.

Are you hungry?

No.

I'm starving.

I've started a charity in honour of my late wife,

Katherine Landon,

who sadly lost her battle with cancer two years ago.

And it will be the goal of this charity benefit being held

this week to raise 25 million dollars to fight cancer.

We can conquer cancer in our lifetime,

and you can help us achieve that goal.

I will be donating $2 million of my own money

and I encourage you all to do what you can.

Thank you so much.

[ slow jazz music ] ♪♪♪

[ party chatter ]

Oh! I'm sorry.

No, no, please, I'm sorry.

Are you ok?

Uh, yeah.

That was completely my fault.

No, no, please.

Are you sure you're ok?

I'm fine, yes.

They need to put a traffic light in here.

[ chuckles ]

It kinda reminds me of those windy streets in Rome

where every car, bicyclist or pedestrian is a near miss.

So you've been to Rome?

I have, yes.

I used to visit before my husband passed away.

Oh. Well, I love that city.

It's beautiful, right?

It's like every corner is a piece from a museum.

It's spectacular.

Yeah.

I'm uh, Nicholas Landon.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Ruby Nash.

So, Ruby, are you here for the benefit?

I am.

And it seems as though I've been stood up.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that.

Whoever he was, he was obviously a fool to stand you up.

Everything happens for a reason, I suppose.

That's what they say.

Would you care to join me for a drink?

I'd like that.

Please.

Thank you.

I've always wanted to have an office in the city

and still be near the water

so I guess I've got the best of both worlds.

Indeed.

Thank you.

Thank you.

So how long ago did you lose your wife?

She passed away two years ago.

That's why the event is named after her.

That's right.

It's ironic I would meet you here.

You must miss her a lot.

I miss my husband.

It hasn't been easy.

I have a daughter.

Really?

Mmmhmm.

I have a daughter as well.

How old is yours?

Amanda is 18.

Theresa's about to turn 23.

I have a confession.

Meeting you tonight has made me happy,

and I haven't felt this way in a long, long time.

Well, maybe it doesn't have to be just tonight.

Yes.

Wonderful.

So when are they supposed to be here?

Any moment.

Finally after three weeks I get to meet the mystery woman.

[ laughs ]

What's her daughter's name?

Amanda.

How old is she?

18.

What's with all the questions?

It's just a little weird that my dad's dating again.

You think it's too soon?

No, no, no.

Don't take it in the wrong way, it's just...

I was just thinking about mom.

But if you are happy then I am happy for you.

I appreciate that, honey.

I love you.

I love you, too.

And yes, I'm happy.

[ doorbell rings ]

That must be them.

I'll get it.

Ok.

Hi.

Welcome to our home.

Hi.

Come on in.

Thank you.

Hi.

Hi.

This must be Amanda.

It's very nice to meet you.

Oh.

This is my daughter, Theresa.

Hi.

I've heard so much about you.

Oh, likewise.

Would you like a quick tour of the house?

That would be lovely.

Great.

We'll see you two in a bit.

Ok.

So you wanna come in?

It's just you and your father in this big house?

For now.

I'm actually working on getting my own place right now.

Oh.

So, uh, my dad really seems to like your mom.

I mean, she is beautiful.

Men seem to like her.

I was thinking, maybe we should leave the lovebirds alone.

Ok.

Ok.

Hey, dad?

Amanda and I are gonna go out for a bit.

Ok.

Ok, you two have a good time.

Ok.

You ready?

Yeah.

Ok, let's do it.

I think we've got the place all to ourselves.

What're you thinking?

Do you think it's possible to have two soulmates

in one lifetime?

I do.

Can you stay with me here forever?

Yes.

Nicholas Landon will make it a priority of his campaign

to generate employment and opportunities for everyone

in the state.

With coverage like that I don't see how my dad can lose.

Gotta go. Chat later.

Dad, you're off to a great start.

Polling looks good and everyone likes you.

Are you gonna say something?

Aren't you excited?

I am, yeah.

Well, calm down, dad.

Hold yourself back.

Sweetheart, there's something I wanna talk to you about.

Ok.

You know that I love you more than anything else

in the world, right?

You wanna marry her, don't you?

You are too smart.

I mean, you just met her, dad.

Give it some time.

Maybe live together first and see how that goes?

Ruby woke something in me that I thought was dead.

Something that was all in the past.

But the fact is I'm in love with her.

I'm in love with her,

and I don't see why I shouldn't marry her.

Well, I'm not saying you don't have the right to re-marry,

it's just... you don't really know her.

So when's the wedding?

Next month.

It's just a small, intimate affair.

No press, no hoopla, just some immediate family

and a couple of good friends.

Well, I want you to be happy, too.

Well, thank you.

That means a lot.

And Ruby gets home tomorrow,

I'd really like it if we could all have dinner together.

Well, where'd she go?

She's settling some of her late husband's affairs.

Is there something I should know?

Uncle Joe!

Hey, what're you doing here?

What, I need a reason to come say hi to my brother

and favourite niece?

Hey, Joe.

How're you doing?

Good.

Good.

So are you gonna tell him or should I?

Tell me what?

Well, you're my PR spokeswoman, you might as well be the one.

Dad's getting married.

What? To who?

Her name's Ruby.

Wow.

Well, I guess congratulations are in order.

Thank you.

Yeah.

When's the wedding?

Next month.

And yes, you're invited.

Hey everyone, sorry to interrupt.

Mr. Landon?

Mr. Stephen's in the boardroom.

Thank you, Michael.

I'll be right there.

This'll just take a few moments.

Sure.

Married?

Yeah.

Wow. Talk to me.

[ laughs ]

Where did they meet?

At dad's charity event.

You said her name was Ruby...?

Nash.

Why all the questions?

Just looking out for my brother.

Uncle Joe, I've never seen dad happier.

Are you hungry?

Mmmhmm.

Let's see if your dad wants to get some lunch.

Alright.

[ knocking ]

Hi.

Hi, hi. I'm Michael.

Amanda.

I work for Mr. Landon.

He asked me to stop by and pick up some documents.

You can call him if you like.

No, it's fine.

Uh, do you know where they are?

He said they'd be on the table.

How long have you worked for Nicholas?

Uh, I started my internship about a year ago.

Ok.

Do you like working for him?

I do, yeah. He's brilliant.

I uh, have learned a lot already.

Well...

Yeah.

You draw?

Yeah.

So do I.

You know, there's an art exhibit

at the SAG in town this week.

Would you want to check it out with me?

Yeah.

Awesome.

Ok, well now I do have to go so, um...

How can you top this for a getaway weekend?

It's just so beautiful.

It sure is.

And very romantic.

Mmmhmm.

[ giggles ]

[ heavy breathing ]

Honey? Honey?

Honey, are you ok?

[ inhales ]

Yeah, it's- it's nothing.

Just my asthma's acting up again.

It seems like it's getting worse.

No, no.

No, it's fine.

It's nothing for you to worry about.

Listen, why don't I get you another drink?

That sounds perfect.

Thank you.

I'll be right back.

Ok.

[ phone rings ]

Hey, Uncle Joe.

Hey Theresa, is your dad there?

Uh, no, he's out of town with Ruby for the weekend.

Actually it's you I wanted to talk to.

Sure, what about?

I did a background check on Ruby.

Why?

There's just something about her.

Did you know that her late husband died

in a tragic accident?

Uh, no, I had no idea.

I didn't ask.

And that's not even the strangest part.

Prior to her previous marriage there's no record of her.

What're you trying to say?

I'm not sure.

I have a friend who's a PI.

I want him to look into this.

I'm sure that it's nothing

but for now let's just keep this between you and I.

Alright.

A weekend away is not enough.

I'm gonna jump in the shower and I'll see you in a few minutes.

Ok.

[ chatting while in the shower ]

[ vehicle pulls up outside ]

I had a really good time tonight.

So did I.

Where were you?

I was out with a friend.

Don't lie to me, I just saw you with him!

Who is he?

His name is Michael and he works for Nicholas.

Are you trying to mess things up for us?

I just want a normal life!

And I really like that guy!

You don't know anything about men.

They don't care about you.

They just want a pretty wife by their side

that they can show off but you mean nothing to them!

They will abuse you and then they will discard you

but not until they rip away who you once were!

But Michael is not like that and I am not like you!

[ slap ]

Then you're a fool.

Hey, honey.

Hey, sweetheart.

Is Amanda ok?

You know, I just think she's feeling

a little under the weather.

[ phone rings ]

[ coughing ]

Oh... Honey.

What the hell was that?

Uh, it was just- I was putting a little perfume on.

I-

Grab my inhaler.

Of course.

[ laboured breathing ]

Here you are.

[ heavy breathing ]

Better?

[ gasping ]

Honey...

Call 911!

[ gasping ]

You did this...

[ breathing stops ]

Hi.

Look, I feel really bad about the other night

and I'd like to make it up to you,

go into town and get some lunch?

Ok.

Ok.

Dad?

Dad, what're you still doing home?

Dad?

[ screams ]

Dad!

Oh my god.

Oh my god, dad?

Dad?

Oh my god.

Dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, wake up!

Please, wake up!

Oh my god, dad.

[ phone rings ]

Hello?

Mrs. Landon?

This is she.

I'm sorry to tell you but your husband has passed away.

What?

We're at the house and we'd like you to come by.

What happened? Mom?

Oh no.

Mom.

Honey, Nicholas is dead.

Oh my god.

[ gasps ]

Oh my god, sweetheart.

No!

No, you're lying!

I'm not lying, honey.

Oh Honey.

[ sobbing ]

What happened?

We believe it was an asthma attack.

That's what it looks like to us.

I'm gonna finish up upstairs and I'm gonna come down

and ask you guys some questions later.

Thank you.

Ok.

Are you gonna stay here tonight?

If I hadn't moved out in the first place

he'd still be alive.

Oh, sweetheart.

[ sobbing ]

We can't always protect the people we love, you know?

It's not your fault.

Don't blame yourself, ok?

Come here.

[ door closes ]

Hi, sweetie.

Hey, Uncle Joe.

I'm so glad you're here.

How's Ruby?

She's upset.

Do you think she could be faking it?

Why would she say something like that?

I don't wanna raise any alarms but my PI thinks

there's something really suspicious about Ruby.

Meaning...?

We think Ruby's not her real name.

And that she stole someone's identity.

[ stuttering ] Are you saying that she had something to do

with dad's death?

Well, something is not right here.

What're you thinking?

I'm gonna find the truth.

Trust me.

I'll know more soon.

I love you.

I love you, too.

What're you doing here?

Excuse me?

I don't know what you're thinking, lady.

You might be able to fool everyone else

but you can't fool me.

I know your brother just died but I was also his wife.

What would Nicholas think if he saw

the way you were treating me?

You are not going anywhere near Theresa.

Don't touch me.

You think you're being mistreated now?

You haven't seen anything yet.

Are you threatening me?

I am.

I don't take threats lightly.

I don't care.

Amanda.

What're you doing here?

I just had to get out of the house.

Is something wrong?

It's ok, you can... you can tell me.

Well, it's my mom.

Sometimes I'm afraid of her.

What does that mean?

This was a mistake.

Hey, hey. Don't go, ok?

Don't.

Just... please, just sit down, ok?

[ sighs ]

You can't tell anyone what I said about my mom.

I won't. Don't worry.

Don't do anything stupid.

Put 'em on.

Why are you doing this?

Shut up and drive.

You just had to get in my way, didn't you?

Couldn't leave well enough alone.

You killed him, didn't you?

You think your brother was the first?

[ slap ]

[ child crying ]

Have you ever had a broken jaw?

How about a fractured eye socket?

Two years of beatings.

He finally got what he deserved.

And that day I vowed no man would ever control or own me again.

Pull over.

You don't have to do this.

I do.

[ struggling ]

[ gun shot ]

[ gun shot ]

[ gun shot ]

Amanda? Amanda?

Amanda!

Amanda, it's your mother, you're not at home,

please give me a call.

[ car pulls up outside ]

Someone's here.

[ banging ]

Get the hell in the car.

She doesn't wanna go with you right now.

Is that true?

Hey, hey.

You don't have to go with her.

Amanda.

Stay the hell away from her.

[ slams door ]

Don't waste your time with him, Amanda.

You can't trust him.

Any man, actually.

Michael's not like that.

And how would you know?

Maybe if you'd let me spend some time with him.

It's not gonna matter anyway.

Because once they finish reading the will

all our problems will vanish.

What does that mean?

You'll see.

Hey, Uncle Joe.

Um, I haven't heard from you in a while.

Give me a call, ok?

[ phone rings ]

Hello?

Hi, Theresa?

It's Detective Santos.

We have the results on your father.

As we suspected, he died of an asthma attack.

And you're absolutely sure?

We are.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

Hey.

Can I talk to you for a second?

Uh, sure.

Amanda came by my place last night.

How's she doing?

She was actually really upset.

She started talking about her mother and she froze up

and wouldn't say any more.

Then she showed up.

Ruby?

She went ballistic.

Started yelling at both of us.

She intimidated Amanda into leaving.

God, there's something wrong with her.

Even my uncle didn't like her right away.

I just feel bad for Amanda.

Yeah, me too.

She's had a few step-dads, that can't be easy on anyone.

How many?

She mentioned three.

Three. Are you sure?

That's what she said.

Ok, um... I gotta leave.

Will you walk me out?

"Being of sound mind and body,

"not under duress or undue influence,

"I declare this my last will.

"I hear by leave all my assets, personal belongings,

"real estate and insurance monies to my beloved daughter,

"Theresa."

"In the event that anything should happen to Theresa

"then my wife Ruby shall inherit the aforementioned assets.

"I would like my beloved wife, Ruby,

"to stay in our house until such time as she has re-married,

"and she shall receive $500,000 from my estate."

Are there any questions?

No.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

If you need anything don't hesitate to call.

You may have fooled everyone else,

but I know you had something to do with my father's death.

What?

No, I loved your dad.

You're- you're emotional, you don't-

Do not touch me.

Leaves her everything, he gives me nothing!

That bitch.

I know she had something to do with this.

[ phone rings ]

Theresa, hi.

Um, sorry to inform you so soon after your recent loss

but we found a body.

No. Please, no.

We believe it's your uncle,

and we need you to identify the body.

It was her.

Who?

Ruby.

That's a very serious accusation to make.

Detective, my uncle was looking into her past.

He knew there was something wrong with her

and she killed him for it.

Ok, we've invited her down to the station

so I'd appreciate if you didn't mention anything

until we investigate further.

Alright.

Thanks for coming on such short notice.

Yeah, what's all this about?

We found Joe Landon's body last night.

What?

Oh, that's terrible.

Well, what happened?

Well, that's what we're trying to ascertain.

I will help you in any way that I can.

I appreciate that.

Of course.

Can you tell me where you were the night of the 14th?

Yes.

Um, I was with my daughter, Amanda.

Thank you.

She wasn't feeling well.

You can call her and ask her if you'd like.

Oh, I will.

Please.

Thanks.

Hmm.

Two husbands dying in a year.

You must be devastated.

I'll never get over it.

Those losses will be with me forever.

What does that have to do with Joe's death?

Well, did you know that he was looking into your past?

Are you accusing me of something?

Because I have nothing to hide, Detective.

Do I need a lawyer?

Am I being detained?

No.

Not at all.

I loved my husbands.

We're done talking.

One more thing, Detective.

My daughter and I won't be staying at that house anymore.

Too many painful memories.

And now family members think that I had something to do

with his death?

That's just too much for me to face every day.

We'll be leaving town.

Come in.

Thank you.

So?

So we looked into her past

and yeah there were some other deaths.

Unusual and suspicious.

But the coroner's reports always stated

either natural causes or accidental.

What do you mean?

Well, her first husband died in a tragic accident.

The second, health related death,

which was fully investigated,

and then there was your father and his asthma,

which has proven to be his cause of death.

And Joe?

Was that an accident too?

She killed him, I know it.

Everyone is a suspect until proven innocent

but we have no evidence.

No witnesses.

And she came in voluntarily before she leaves town.

She's leaving town too?

Don't you think that's a little suspicious?

Of course I do.

But I can't do anything

unless I'm charging her with a crime.

Do not let her get away with murder.

Amanda!

Amanda!

Pack your bags.

We're done here.

What? Why?

They've turned against us.

Yeah, they always do.

What's that supposed to mean?

I just want to live a normal life.

Why can't we try and make it work here?

I like Michael and I really like Theresa.

Oh! She is the reason we're in this mess!

It is not her fault!

Are you saying it's my fault?

Be ready to leave in the morning.

Hello?

I can't talk for long.

What's wrong?

We're leaving in the morning.

Leaving?

What- where?

I don't know.

Don't know or can't say?

I don't know.

I would tell you if I knew.

I don't wanna go.

Then don't go.

Stay with me.

Amanda?

I... I can't.

I have to go.

I'll miss you.

Amanda, wait.

I love you.

[ gasps ]

Let go!

Get off!

Wait!

He's got my purse!

[ fighting grunts ]

Are you hurt?

No.

No.

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Are you sure?

Uh, yes.

You're shaking.

It's no trouble, I can give you a lift home.

I- I have, uh, some things that I need to do...

Um, Carol.

Ruby.

Excuse me.

Any guy would have done the same thing.

No, no. Not any guy.

I hope this doesn't sound too forward but...

would you be in a situation to accept a lunch invitation?

I've never heard it put that way.

Yes.

You did save my life, after all.

Call me? Tomorrow?

I will.

I think I'm gonna like it here.

Just last week you said you were thinking of moving on.

I met someone.

You met somebody?

Mmmhmm.

You met somebody.

Yep.

A doctor.

Yeah.

And he saved me from a mugger.

What?

Mmmhmm.

This guy was trying to steal my purse and Carol intervened.

I guess not all men are evil then.

Nicholas passed away six months ago

and you have already met somebody?

It's unbelievable.

I don't deserve to be happy?

I shouldn't move on?

Is that what you're saying?

What about Michael?

I liked him and you moved us away.

Michael was no good for you.

What if this guy's no good for you?

Or what if this guy ends up turning on you

and then he has some kind of crazy accident

like everybody else?

What did you say?

Did Nicholas turn against you?

Or Daniel?

Wow.

I mean, I knew I wasn't the perfect mother

but I didn't think I was so awful that my own daughter

would accuse me of something like that.

I did the best that I could, Amanda.

I'm sorry.

Just leave me alone.

I hear the lunch here is really good.

Well, I'm excited to try it.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

So, you're a doctor.

I'm impressed.

I'm a cardiologist but thankfully I've made some

wise investments which have allowed me

to pursue the other things that I love.

Such as?

Let me see, where do I begin?

Um, I love to travel, visit exotic places.

Skiing, scuba diving...

That sounds amazing.

Wow.

Enough about me, tell me about you.

I have a daughter.

Her name is Amanda and she's eighteen 18.

Then you're divorced?

Actually, widowed.

I had no idea. I'm so sorry.

Your daughter must have been devastated to lose her father.

It was her step-father.

And they were close.

I don't think she'll ever get over it.

Let's talk about something else, shall we?

Ok.

Have you travelled much?

No, I haven't.

But I've always wanted to go to Fiji.

Fiji's nice this time of year.

[ phone vibrates ]

I had a great time, too.

Talk to you tomorrow.

How was your date?

Amazing.

He's just too good to be true.

Well, if you really like this guy then can we stay here?

'Cause I'm so sick of moving.

I'm sick of moving, too.

You look really happy.

Thanks.

Come here.

So how long have you lived here?

So I've been here for 16 years now.

Ok.

I love it here.

Yeah, I'm liking it more and more every day.

I like that.

Can we get a picture?

Why not?

Cool.

There.

Oh, that's nice.

You're gonna have to send me that one.

I will.

After I get a few more.

Found your next victim already?

Excuse me?

This is my step-daughter, Theresa.

You better be careful, you might end up like my dad.

She blames me for her father's death.

Or like her husband before that.

Did you tell him about Daniel, as well?

Who's Daniel?

Tragic accident, right Ruby?

What're you doing here?

Just making sure you don't destroy another family.

Look, I'm not sure what's going on here but I-

I should go.

Could you just give me a minute?

I have somewhere I've gotta be, Ruby.

You think you can show up and ruin my life like that?

Oh, what, like you did mine?

No matter where you go I will find you.

[ phone ringing ]

Theresa.

Hey. I saw Ruby.

You didn't talk to her, did you?

You said you weren't going to.

I know, I know.

I just saw her and I couldn't help it.

Have you talked to Amanda?

She hasn't answered.

I left her a few messages though.

I'm gonna come down there tonight, ok?

I'll be there soon.

Ok, well I'll try getting a hold of her tonight.

We'll get her out of there, I promise.

I'm out here!

Did you know Theresa's in town?

Theresa's here?

Yeah.

And she's trying to screw things up with Carol.

First she turns Nicholas against me and now this?

What'd she do?

She told Carol that I killed Nicholas.

Can you believe that?

The first guy I actually like

and she's trying to turn him against me.

Well I'm not gonna let her get away with this.

Mom, don't...

Are you defending her?

No.

Don't screw this up for me, Amanda.

[ phone ringing ]

[ whispers ] Theresa.

Hey.

What happened today?

My mom would kill me if she knew I was talking to you.

Don't worry about that.

Amanda, your mom had something to do

with my dad's death and I'm really worried about you.

No, you don't know that.

I do know it.

Look, I don't blame you.

I just- I need you to get out of there, ok?

I can't just leave, she's my mom.

Why haven't you called Michael back?

Michael...

look, I want to, but I- I have to go.

Amanda!

Dammit.

Were you just on the phone?

No.

Amanda.

Michael!

What're you doing here?

I had to see you.

We can't let her see us.

How did you find me?

Theresa.

You haven't been returning my calls.

My life's a mess,

so how can I involve you?

Don't worry about me, ok?

I can take care of myself.

Amanda, you need to get away from here.

Michael, it's not that easy.

Sometimes the right thing isn't easy.

It doesn't mean you shouldn't do it.

How long are you in town for?

I'll stay as long as you like.

I never thought I'd see you again.

Amanda!

I'll be out in a second!

Ok, I have to go.

I'll call you tonight.

Be careful.

I... didn't think I'd see you again.

Um, yeah.

About the other day...

I am sorry, I... can I-

No, no, you don't have to explain.

We all have a past, some worse than others,

but what's important is how we live in the present.

And I certainly don't believe you have the capacity

to be a murderer.

So you still wanna see me?

Yes, I still wanna see you.

Um, there's another reason I came by.

It's Theresa.

She's been following me.

What?

I know it sounds crazy, but I just don't trust her.

That's harassment, I can call the police.

Ok.

I just wanted to tell you face to face.

Can I see you tomorrow?

Ok, yes.

Alright.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Ok.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

[ starts car ]

Are you alright?

Yeah, I was just thinking about my dad.

I think about him, too.

It's ok.

It'll all be over soon.

You need to be careful from now on.

You don't go anywhere without Michael or I by your side.

She won't try anything if you're not alone.

We're close to bringing her down, I can feel it.

And your idea to fake the mugging, it was great.

She has no clue.

I wouldn't underestimate Ruby.

She's dangerous.

Well, she can't take my stalking her much longer.

She's gonna break and say something incriminating.

I agree.

I can't thank you enough for all of your help.

Your uncle Joe was my best friend.

What kind of a private investigator would I be

if we couldn't nail his murderer?

Or your father's?

She did it, I know it.

The police can't prove it, they have their hands tied,

but we don't.

What do you think will happen to Amanda?

Depends on how involved she was.

Whether or not she'll turn state's witness

against her own mother.

Well, it's getting late.

I should go.

Just be careful.

What're you doing?

Go back to bed.

What happened?

Is something wrong?

Leave me alone and go back to bed!

Michael, we need to talk.

This is Ruby Landon and I need to file yet

another stalking complaint.

I have contacted your department three times

in the last five days.

Yes, she has threatened to harm me!

I need you to get her to stop harassing me.

I can be there in an hour.

Thank you.

Mom,

you're scaring me.

I was wrong.

I thought he was different but he wasn't.

Never again.

Don't ever let yourself be fooled by a man.

[ phone ringing ]

Carol?

Hi, Ruby.

I was just thinking about you.

So was I.

Listen, I've got something very special planned for us today.

I think you're gonna love it.

That sounds wonderful.

I'm at Moon Lake.

Moon Lake, that's 30 miles from here.

Yeah, I put together this nice little picnic for us.

But if you can't make it I totally understand.

No, no, I'll be there.

See you soon.

Hello?

Theresa, it's me.

What do you want?

I want my life back.

You want your life back?

What about my father's life?

My uncle's life?

Look, I just can't keep this inside any longer.

We really need to talk.

I'm listening.

No, no, no.

Not over the phone.

Look, I know you hate me

but once I explain you'll understand.

Can you come to the house and meet me?

I'm sure you know where I live.

I can be there in ten minutes.

I'll see you then.

[ voicemail ] Please leave your name and number

and I'll return your call as soon as possible.

Where are you?

I just spoke to Ruby, I'm going to see her.

I think she's about to crack.

Ok, call me back.

Oh no.

Please, come in.

Well?

You were right.

I have a confession.

I killed your father.

You-

Not another step.

You wanted to hear my confession, didn't you?

Your father wasn't the first.

There were others before him,

and if your uncle wasn't so nosy he'd be alive today.

You're crazy.

No.

Did Amanda have any part in this?

Amanda knows nothing.

What's this?

You think I'm stupid?

Take it off!

You break into my house, you head upstairs,

you enter my room and you attack me.

Attack you?

Fortunately for me,

I was able to wrestle the knife away from you.

But I'll have to cut myself a few times so the cops

will believe my story.

Move.

Oh, officer, she broke in and attacked me.

She was screaming.

She was crazed, saying that I killed her father.

You bitch.

You'll never get away with this.

Oh, they'll find those complaints I filed against you

for stalking and harassing me.

Go.

Just as easy as your father.

[ punches ]

[ struggling ]

[ groans ]

You ruined everything!

Mom!

Drop it or I'll shoot.

It's over, mom.

Michael!

Theresa, are you ok?

It's over.

Your dad would be real proud.

Thank you.

Your wire tapping of Ruby confessing to the murder

sealed her fate.

What about Amanda?

She suspected that her mother might have been killing them

but she never witnessed it,

which was confirmed on the tapes.

Now, she's messed up.

She's gonna need a lot of psychological counseling.

Well, whatever it is I'll pay for it.

I know nothing is gonna bring your father

and your uncle back

but I hope this brings some closure for you.

Thank you, Detective.

I'll walk you out.

Thanks.

So how're you doing?

I'm much better.

You know, they're helping me deal with my mom and...

yeah, it's been just a little rough on me.

And Michael?

He hasn't missed a weekend since I've been here.

He's actually looking for an apartment for us.

Everything's gonna be ok, Amanda.

Thank you so much.

I'll call you soon, ok?

Ok.

Alright, I'll see you soon.

Bye.
