Original subtitles

Uh huh.

Damon, that was incredible.

Why don't we... Sorry, Jen.

I gotta run. 9-1-1 from the office.

No, Damon.

Not again.

I'm sorry, Jen, but it's crucial.

The Collins case could mean a lot of money for us.

I swear I'll make it up to you.

I never see you.

I hardly feel like I'm married anymore.

Yeah, well, I don't like it any better than you do.

But my career has to come first.

Or at least for now.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Looks like another all-nighter for Damon.

I wonder if it really is the office that he spends all those late nights at, or

if he's got, you know, something a little more interesting going on.

Really, Simone?

They're our friends.

I don't think they expected to be spied on when we invited them to be our

guests.

Well, I'm not spying.

What will you do for entertainment when their home is completed and our guest

house is empty?

Good question.

Why didn't you call?

I didn't want to wake you.

God, what a night. My muscles are in knots.

I'm going to swim my laps, take a nap, and then get back to finish the Collins

briefs.

At least let me make us some breakfast.

I'll get something on the way back.

Damon, it was the office you were at, wasn't it?

I don't believe you.

How can you be so suspicious?

I was working on the Collins case all night.

Shit. I never see you anymore.

I'm just lonely, Damon.

We've been over this, Jen.

Once this case is over, we move into the new house, things will be better.

Why don't you spend more time with Simone?

I would, but we really have nothing in common.

Jen.

I promise you things won't always be like this.

I'm going to zing them with these briefs and I have a feeling they're going to

come begging to settle.

What's she like?

Who? Miss Collins.

She's nice. She's very helpful.

And if things go the way I think they will, she's going to be very rich.

You're spending a lot of time with her.

Of course I'm spending a lot of time with her. We're suing a Fortune 500

company for the wrongful death of her husband.

You know, sometimes I don't think you really appreciate how difficult my job

really is.

No, I do.

I do.

Jim. Jim.

I gotta go, sweetie.

So what did you have in mind to do today? I was kind of thinking that maybe

we could go... I can't. I have to check on the progress of the restoration of my

Renoir. It can't be changed.

You and that goddamn art.

You know it's all you ever think about.

You know I love my collection.

It's my legacy from the family.

Perhaps if you take a little more interest, you might enjoy it too.

I'd like to have some fun for a change.

before I get too old to enjoy it.

I'm gonna go relax.

Sigh.

Live-in housekeeper?

Yeah, Brandy was temping for us when the job ended, and then I got the brilliant

idea to bring her home so that she could lighten your workload and keep you

company.

Yeah, we'll get to know each other here, and then when the new house is ready,

we'll be all set.

I think this calls for a celebration.

I'll make some drinks.

Yeah, I was having this farewell lunch with Damon.

I guess it's a custom over there.

Anyway... I told him I used to be a nanny, and he had this idea.

Listen, if you're not down with this, that door works both ways.

But I think we should at least give it a try.

I mean, what have we got to lose?

And you know what else?

I think we're going to get along just great.

I got everything on the list.

Wow, what a cute car you have there.

Thanks for letting me drive it. Yeah, it's nice.

What about that one your neighbor has?

Killer. I bet they're voted.

That's Simone's car. Her husband, Gerard?

He's a millionaire.

Really?

Yeah. When you think about it, every girl needs a sugar daddy.

Hey, Jenny.

Hey. I want you to meet Stan.

Hello. Hello.

Stan's my ex-boyfriend, but we're still tight buds.

Only way to go, huh, Stan?

You got that right.

Hey, I'm gonna go for a ride. You don't mind if I take the morning off, do you?

No, that's fine.

Have a nice day.

That wraps it up.

I've reviewed the trust documents and I found a few little traps.

Things that seem innocent enough but could potentially open you up to

litigation.

And my recommendations are here.

If they're okay with you, I'll file the papers to make the corrections

immediately. No, Damon, I trust you completely. Just go ahead with

whatever's necessary.

I do wish you would take a look at them, but frankly, they are just technical

details.

You know, your father did his best to make sure you'd inherit the collection

intact and keep it together, but some of the case law has changed since then.

Yes, the collection.

It was his passion.

His life.

It's the same for me.

I hear, I hear.

It's not just about money.

Damon, just sit down a minute, will you?

I have to talk to you about something, and not only as my attorney, but as a

trusted friend.

Simone loves my money.

Not me.

I guess on some level, I've always known that.

She was dazzling when I met her.

Irresistible.

I have a prenup, but that doesn't mean anything once I'm gone.

Damon, look, I have had my youthful indiscretions and a few wild flings, but

now I just want to enjoy what I have.

My art, my wine, my cigars.

Simone still wants to run around and party with the jet set.

Wow.

Great setup.

What do you think?

Not bad.

Looks like you have just about everything you need here.

Let's see how smooth it is.

Gerard, maybe she's just... Lately, there has been a total freeze

between us.

I mean, I'm still interested in sex.

I'm just not with her.

I... I... I know. I disgust her.

Very smooth.

Looks like you work out a little bit.

Stan's a personal trainer.

A real one.

Certified.

Used to be. That's how I made my living for a while.

Well, feel free to work out here anytime you'd like.

Divorce?

No, never. None in my family.

I just know that if anything were to happen to me, she would sell off the

entire collection in pieces to whomever came along.

She could care less if it ended up decorating the walls of a local motel.

This... This is my legacy.

I intend to donate this to a museum.

It's the only way that my family name will live on.

Why are you so pessimistic? I mean, you're just in your 40s.

My family has a history of heart trouble.

I'm already on some serious medication.

I have a will, but you know we're gonna... happen in probate court,

anything.

Yeah, you're right.

A decent attorney can make mincemeat out of even the most airtight will.

Maybe in exchange you can give me a few private lessons.

Sure.

As a matter of fact, I have an exercise you can do right now. Put your hand

right over here.

Lift up your leg.

Bring your knee into your chest.

And then push out.

There you go.

Slow and smooth.

Excellent. Working your glutes, your quads.

It's really good for toning.

Wow.

Well, I suppose building these muscles really does make sex better.

Don't you think?

Couldn't hurt.

Well,

Stan, looks like you have a great deal to show me.

I'll be looking forward to that.

I want you to hold a conditional power of attorney over all of my affairs in

the event that I die or become debilitated.

You'll have complete control to make sure that Simone doesn't do anything

crazy after I'm gone.

Very smart.

Bypasses probate altogether.

Yeah.

I'll take care of everything.

We're having a little gathering here tomorrow night.

Might you come by?

You too, Stan.

Sure.

And now a toast to our guest of honor, to Damon Carson on bringing those other

clients down to their knees, winning the Collins case, and a lot of money.

Cheers. Cheers.

Cheers. Cheers.

Cheers. And for those of you single ladies and divorcees out there who have

your eye on him,

I'm sorry to report that he's still a married man, so hands off for now.

Thank you, everybody.

Thank you for the adulation.

I can assure you all it's well-deserved.

Here's to my charming client, without whom none of this would have been

possible. I would not have been able to mount an airtight case, make the other

side settle, and settle big.

And as for that last crack about hands off, Simone, As a lawyer, I need to

mention to all the single ladies in the room that that applies to hands only.

Thank you. Cheers. Carry on.

Congratulations,

rich lady.

We're going to have fun tonight.

Simone, I found the glasses we were looking for in Gerard's closet in the

study.

There's still some more up there.

Why don't I take these to the bar, and would you mind getting the rest of them?

I couldn't carry any more.

Oh, no, not at all. Thank you so much.

Thanks. No problem.

Oh my god.

You bastard!

You stupid stuffy old bastard!

This leaves me with nothing.

So, this thing with you and Brandy, is it strictly platonic?

Yeah, we're just really good friends.

Not that I have anything against sex, mind you.

Of course not.

Neither do I.

As a matter of fact, I'm all for it.

You don't have to worry about Gerard. He's quite verbose.

He'll be talking about that art for hours.

You know, I'm really glad that you stopped by.

I needed a few interesting people here tonight.

Jenny? Come on, you have to mingle some.

Come on, let me introduce you to some of my friends. No, thanks. Not right now.

I do?

Jenny, um, if there's something troubling you, you know, if you ever

need anyone to talk to, I want you to know that I'm always here for you.

You're a beautiful woman, and you shouldn't have to put up with the way he

treats you, okay?

I'm just gonna go freshen this drink.

Thank you.

That was incredible.

What I wouldn't give to be with someone like you.

Have a little fun in my life for a change. A little passion.

That'd be great, but you're...

Married? Is that what you're gonna say?

Yeah, well, trapped is more like it.

Damon,

let's go.

You're making a complete fool of yourself.

What the hell are you talking about?

I'm having a good time.

Let's just go. You are humiliating me.

Don't ever talk to me in that tone of voice again.

And don't try to control me, all right? I'm having a good time, and you're not

going to ruin it.

You know, my life is dribbling away. I'm being wasted on him when I should be

with someone like you.

But still with the money, right?

Now he has a little piece of paper, a legal document, that says I get

absolutely nothing. I can never touch that money, ever.

You know, I think there's a way that this could work out for the both of us.

Yeah?

How?

We both play our cards, right?

Follow me?

We both do our part.

And something just happens to him.

Hey, hey, hey.

Wait a minute.

I don't want anything to do with anything like that.

I mean, you're a great lady and all, but... Forget it.

Okay? Just get out and leave me alone!

That's why you screwed me.

That's what this is all about!

Thanks for the fuck.

You're welcome.

Listen. Maybe there's some other way we can work this out.

I wouldn't mind seeing you again.

We'll see.

By the way, if your husband dies, doesn't that legal document tie

everything up?

I mean...

Isn't it really in Damon's hands at this point?

Damon, I've been looking for you.

Really?

Randy, what are you doing here?

Pinch hitting.

Simone got a little tied up.

I think Gerard picked a fight with her.

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

Okay. Whatever.

I've been thinking about you.

A lot.

You know, a girl gets lonely.

So what do you say?

You, me...

A little tussle in the treehouse.

Gotta be careful.

Because I, like, make a lot of noise when I fuck.

Like, out of control.

You may need to put something in my mouth.

Brandy, you're incredibly attractive. I'll do anything for you, Damon.

Anything.

I'll do things that you never even thought about.

You're amazing, but... The risks are too great.

The risk is half the fun.

If Jenny so much has caught me touching another woman, we've got to slow down,

all right? A man can only take so much temptation.

You don't know Jenny. She's...

Crazy jealous.

So what's a girl supposed to do?

Renny, you're the hottest thing I've ever seen, but another time, another

place. Let me tell you something.

In bed, I'm one horny little bitch.

Bye.

ah ah

You scum.

I don't believe it.

Who was it? That slut Tracy Collins?

Wait. All right, just wait. I know how this looks. All I ever asked you for,

just one thing. Hey, calm down, all right? Just wait a minute.

And now you do it while I'm in the same house?

I hate you. Stop shouting.

People will hear you. You're embarrassing me. They can damn well hear

me if they want to. I don't care.

I can never forget.

Shut up! Just shut the fuck up!

Get yourself together. I will not have you humiliate me in front of everybody.

I have clients down there.

So that's where you are when you work late at the office on fucking some

bimbo? Who is it?

Tell me who.

Listen to me very carefully.

If you don't get yourself together...

and take this like an adult.

No questions asked, now or ever.

I'm gonna dump you and leave you with nothing, just like I found you.

You understand me?

Nothing.

I know how to do it.

Men. I hate them. I hate them all.

I'm so trapped, I just wonder if there's ever a fucking way out.

I only ever asked him one thing, and now he does it right in front of me?

Him and his fancy lawyer friends.

They will destroy me. I should kill the jerk.

Oh my God, that's it.

That's what we'll do. We'll kill them both.

Absolutely. That's how we show them they can't treat us like dirt.

No.

No, I mean it.

We rid this world of both of those miserable bastards. It is the only way

we are going to get our lives back.

Hear, hear.

Death to them all.

It's not just about jealousy.

It is about fighting for our fucking survival.

Right on.

shoot him, evaporate him, exterminate him.

Exactly. I mean, don't you see?

If we don't strike first, then we are totally doomed, okay? Damon is going to

leave you for some little slut at the drop of a hat.

And me, I am going to die of boredom.

If Gerard dies before Damon, I get absolutely

nothing.

He has seen to that.

We need a plan.

A perfect plan.

Great.

I love a good murder plot.

I always watch those old mystery movies.

I've got it.

It's perfect.

It's the perfect opportunity for a crisscross murder.

What's a crisscross?

It's so simple.

It's flawless.

Simone kills Damon while you're out of town, and you kill Gerard

while Simone's away.

It's the absolute airtight alibi.

Nothing connecting either of you with the deaths.

You help each other out, it's quick, it's simple, and voila.

Both of your problems are solved.

Well, I'd better get my butt to bed.

Good night.

Good night. Good night.

Oh my God, she's right.

She's right.

The first person that they investigate when somebody's murdered is always the

spouse.

And if you and I are out of town...

Then there's absolutely no way that we can be tied to it.

Oh my God, that is it.

That is what we're going to do.

One problem.

I can never shoot anybody.

Shooting is way too obvious.

You don't have to. That is the beauty of it.

Gerard's heart is so weak.

that all I have to do is replace his heart medicine with a placebo.

And then, when he is sufficiently at risk,

and I am way tucked away safe in Vegas,

that's when you go to him and you let him get his grimy little paws all

over you, just like he's been wanting to for months.

And then?

You mean sleep with him?

Of course.

I mean, come on, what a better way to get back at Damon for what he did to

you? It's perfect justice.

That arrogant son of a bitch.

Look, don't you wonder about those late nights at the office?

You leave Damon up to me, okay? The less you know, the better.

What?

Wait a minute.

No!

Listen, I didn't want to say anything to you because I really didn't think it was

any of my business, okay?

I know a lot of women that Damon has been with.

Jerry's heart is really weak without his medicine, okay? All you have to do is

you have to go to him, give him all you've got.

He's bound to keel over.

I mean, it's not like you're killing anyone, not really. You're just giving

him great sex.

Nature will take its course.

Then you and I will have our money and we'll be free.

It's perfect.

Absolutely perfect.

I'll only be a minute.

Listen, Jen.

I really feel bad for you.

After what that rat Damon did.

Let's do this right.

I am going to give you...

The best massage you'll ever get.

Just relax.

I know what you mean.

Some hugs.

You needed that for more than one reason Listen, I know what you're going

through.

I Had a guy do the same thing to me once What did you do?

Got rid of him immediately totally End it now

any way you can Meanwhile

You need a long vacation.

Visit your family.

Get that creep out of your life.

And get your head back together.

So, you'll be gone when I get back?

Yeah, I'll be out of here today.

I'm gonna miss you.

Hey, I'm not moving to Thailand or anything.

I'll be in town.

We'll keep in touch.

Forget about him.

He doesn't deserve you.

Simone. Working late on the weekend again, I see.

It's kind of nice having the place all to myself.

Nice and quiet.

Hmm.

Well, I brought the champagne.

In case you're in the mood.

I'm always in mood.

So I hear.

Well, from Brandy.

Don't worry, I won't tell anybody.

It's just that...

Brandy says that you're incredible in bed.

Well, I try to always do my best.

You know, I'm really sorry about you and Jenny.

You made a cute couple.

Is she gone for good?

Think it's really over?

I don't know.

Shall I pour?

Please.

You know, I've always found you attractive.

You must be in such pain.

You're very thoughtful.

I'm glad you came over, Simone.

Want to try something different?

Hmm.

Ugh.

Who could imagine?

An overdose of barbiturates and a note left on the computer.

So cold.

So chilling.

How did you know it was barbiturates?

And what do you know about a note?

There's always a note, isn't there?

Are you saying... Ah, I'm not saying anything.

It's just that...

This is working out easier than I expected.

Now, it's time for you to do your part.

Never. I can't kill someone.

I just can't. You can, and you will.

It's very easy.

One more thing.

If you don't do it...

I'll just have to break down into tears and tell the police how you let it slip

that you were planning on killing your husband.

That and a few other clues that I've arranged should do it.

You have no say in this matter.

If you fail, I will destroy you.

Do we understand each other?

Mind if I join you?

Here, let me get your back.

You know, we should get rid of this, because you're going to get awful tan

lines. Just wait a minute.

No, it's okay. It's private here and we're all friends.

Lift up.

Uh, sure.

You know that it's time.

I've been giving him the placebo for two weeks now.

I leave for Vegas tomorrow with Stan.

Perfect alibi.

The perfect time.

Listen, Simone.

I can't do this. I just can't.

You will do this.

I've set it up perfectly.

One's a suicide, the other's natural causes.

I like to play it safe.

Cover all my bases.

Just in case you decide not to do it, I have a little insurance.

A ticket.

That's right. A round-trip airline ticket that has been used.

From your mother's hometown to here, and back on the night that Damon died.

I can assure you, the girl that used that ticket matches your description

exactly.

The cops will buy it in a minute.

If it fits, they can't acquit.

How can you do this to me?

Life without parole.

I hope you get a really nice girlfriend, because I hear it gets really chilly at

night in prison.

You make sure that he's dead by 10 o'clock.

I'm going to be coming home at exactly 12.30, and I'm going to make it very

loud so that the neighbors notice.

I'm going to come in.

I'm going to find him dead.

A little warm.

Then I'm going to call 911, because it'll look a little better.

Gee, I tried, but it was too late.

So, you ready for a wild Sin City weekend?

Let's rock and roll.

By the way, listen, do you mind if... Hey, Simone.

You don't mind giving me a lift to Vegas, do you?

Well, you know, I'd love to.

Sure.

Let's go.

Let's hit the road.

Please let this be enough to do it.

um

Hello.

No.

I'll tell you what.

When we get home, I'll make a big pitcher of martinis, okay? And we can

all relax.

Maybe Gerard will still be up.

You're on.

Let's do it.

Thank you. Oh, no, no, thank you.

For coming over, I mean.

Jenny, I hope that you know that I've always been here for you.

I mean, you're a young woman, and you have needs, and... Yeah, it's

been difficult.

I can't help but think what might have happened if we had ended up together.

I mean, it's been a long time for you.

Without a man.

I've thought about it often.

The things we might have done.

I might have experienced.

Well, you know what they say.

It's never too late.

Oh. Oh.

What's going on here?

Not the scene you intended.

My lovely, lovely Simone.

Unfortunately, I'm not as obtuse as you had counted on.

The side effects from my pills disappeared. I had them checked out.

Pure sugar.

So I switched back to my real heart medication.

And I just waited for the two of you to make your move.

Watch them.

I'll call the police.

What the

hell are you doing? Shut

up! What do we do now?

Plan's all shot to hell!

Plan? What plan?

Here it is.

Since you idiots have screwed up months of work setting this up,

I'm going to have to come to a plan B.

What are you talking about?

You really don't think this has been one big series of accidents, do you?

For those of us who are a little slow, I'll spell it out for you.

Stan here is Gerard's son.

His son?

I didn't... Of course you didn't. It was a secret.

Just like his first marriage was a secret.

Gerard almost convinced himself that it never even happened.

With you in jail, Stan would be his only legal heir.

Sorry you've got to go, but we can't risk years of probate over a few missing

marriage documents.

We're kind of in a hurry here.

You little bitch.

You were manipulating us all along?

Criss-cross murders? It was your suggestion!

I was going to let you get away with life in prison.

But you bumblers have screwed it up so bad, I have no other choice but take you

out of the picture.

Otherwise, too many loose ends.

Look, I'm sure we can work this out.

Isn't there anything we can do?

Oh, Jenny.

Always a heart of gold.

That's exactly what I was counting on when I talked Damon into hiring me to be

your housekeeper.

But only after you worked in his office long enough to check out Gerard's legal

situation.

You guys made it so easy.

Made what easy?

I made the two of you so jealous, you wanted to kill your own husbands.

Left the power of attorney out for you to see.

But Damon, why him?

Why did he have to die?

It was that damn non-transferable power of attorney that screwed everything up.

It's a shame I didn't get here before Gerard scamed that one up.

Fucked up my whole plan.

After that, Damon had to go.

Sorry, Jenny.

Just business.

Here's how we're going to make it look.

Simone catches them screwing, goes nuts, gets out a gun, and shoots them both.

With his dying breath, Gerard gets out his gun and shoots her.

Neat, huh?

Do we really have to kill them?

Isn't there some other way?

Here's what you're going to do.

Go back to Vegas and make yourself very visible.

Okay?

I'll give you enough time to get there, fill up a couple waitresses, whatever.

Just make sure you are seen at the time of the killings.

Okay?

Brandy, I mean, come on. Understood?

Yeah.

Simone, call the police.

Look, if I call the police, you and I both go to jail.

She's right, you know.

No amount of explaining in the world is going to get you out of this one.

Listen, the guy's worth millions.

We take him out just as you planned, and there's plenty for everybody.

Don't listen to her, Jenny.

She's just trying to manipulate you again.

Just shoot her. You and I can split everything.

We'll make it look like he shot her and then turned the gun on himself. No.

You're not a killer, Jenny.

She's just trying to set us up again.

Do it. It is the only way to save yourself.

Don't do it. Shut up! Do it!

Do it!

Don't do it.

Listen to me.

Both of you.

It's over.

This madness stops right now.
