Original subtitles

So... He just called again,

And said he's outside watching me.

Um, I...

I have the blinds closed, so he's totally bluffing.

I don't even buy he's in green bay.

Man: louisa...

Louisa: I told you to stop calling me.

Man: I see you...

Louisa:

Man: Hey...

Aren't you gonna invite me in?

How about you go out and I babysit?

Louisa: stop calling me!

Man: I'm coming for you.

Louisa: I wasn't even looking for love,

And I'd given up on love finding me.

Louisa: most guys I met were interested in a fling,

Nothing real.

Louisa: They're so cute!

Louisa: I decided true love

And all that princess stuff was for other people.

Louisa: You guys are sickeningly cute.

Brooke: Hi! Louisa: Hi!

How are you? Brooke:

Alex: Hey. Louisa: Hey!

Aww, he looks sad. Brooke: Aww.

But this weekend is about us having fun.

Louisa: I know, along with two days of super boring

Training seminars.

Brooke: Don't remind me.

Alex: Bye! Have a great time.

Louisa: Bye. Brooke: Take care of her.

Louisa: Yeah, I will!

Brooke: Okay, let's fast-forward to the happy hour.

Louisa: Yes. Brooke: Let's do it.

Louisa: I'm ready.

Brooke: Whoaaa! Road trip!

Louisa: Oh my god!

I love staying in hotels.

The mini bars, the crisp sheets on the bed.

Brooke: Yes!

Louisa: That little chocolate on your pillow?

Brooke: Right? Louisa: Yeah!

Brooke: Tiny bottles of everything.

Oh my god, there's a pool and a spa in the basement.

Louisa: Yeah! Brooke: We can get massages!

Louisa: Yeah, but we don't want to hang out with co-workers.

Brooke: Oh my god, true. Louisa: Yeah.

Brooke: Nathan from accounts in a speedo?

Louisa: Oh my god. Brooke: Prescription goggles.

Louisa: oh my god!

Brooke: So bad!

Louisa: Um...

So, do you think we should take these out with us tonight?

Brooke: "hi, I'm louisa and I'm single!"

Louisa: Ugh, let's get this over with.

Louisa: The mojitos are... Cheap?

But I need something strong after the day we had.

It's been so boring. Brooke: Oh, yeah.

Uh, hmm, I dunno, we could just split another sea breeze,

Save the per diems?

Louisa: I guess.

Steve: Ah, bottle of champagne?

Thanks.

Louisa: That guy's hot.

Brooke: That guy just stole our place.

Steve: Sorry, you guys, uh...

You didn't know what you wanted.

Drinks are on me!

Louisa: so, steve johnson took me by surprise.

If that's even who he was.

Louisa: So our company has a training budget

And we're required to check the box

In order to qualify for an upgrade.

It's really boring, but we get to spend a little time

In the city, which is always awesome.

Steve: Well, that's awesome for me.

Um, I really hate celebrating alone.

Louisa: stop!

Steve: What?

Brooke: So, what did you say you do?

Steve: Okay, it's... It's a little ridiculous,

But they call me an angel investor.

Brooke: Oh!

Louisa: Angel investor? Wow, that sounds impressive.

I just don't really know what that means.

You'll have to further explain. Steve: Yeah.

Basically, I invest my own capital

Through my company, gold halo investments,

Into start-ups.

Louisa: Suddenly I feel like an underachiever.

Brooke: Um, what are we celebrating?

Steve: Oh, uh...

We're celebrating this.

I sold a company.

Apparently, it's worth $10 million to someone.

Brooke: Sorry, what? $10 million?

Steve: Yeah, so dinner's on me.

Brooke: Ha, you bet! Louisa: Oh my god.

Steve: Well, I'm not gonna see all of it,

At least for this company, anyway.

Most of it filters kind of down through my charity,

Inspire kids, so that way my conscience is clear.

Louisa: that's so cool!

Oh my god!

Brooke: Girl, he's, like, so into you.

You're gonna go for this, right? You should go for this.

Louisa: Yeah! Brooke: He's super cute.

He's a hot-shot investor.

Louisa: Too bad he's based in la.

Brooke: Oh my god, so what?

He says he comes back like once a month.

And he's loaded.

Louisa: All of which means he's probably got, like,

150 hot girlfriends already.

Brooke: Okay, so I guess you don't need any of this then?

Louisa: Yes, I do!

Thank you.

Brooke: Guys, I'm gonna go call alex.

I'll be right back, okay?

Louisa: Brooke and alex have been together since forever.

Steve: Hmm, yeah? Louisa: Yeah.

Steve: What about you? Do you have a boyfriend?

Are you spoken for? Louisa: Spoken for?

What are you, edwardian?

What?

Steve: That's so awkward. Sorry.

Did I really say that? Louisa: Oh my god!

Steve: I'm so sorry, that's so awkward.

Louisa: No, no, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry. That was rude.

Steve: No, it's fine, it's fine.

Louisa: Oh, I'm sorry!

Okay... Um, I'm single.

And obviously it's been a while since I've flirted.

Steve: That's you and me both.

Louisa: Oh, so you don't-- you don't have a girlfriend?

Steve: No, I mean,

I meet women all the time who wanna hook up,

But I'm the kind of guy who likes to talk a little,

Get to know someone. Louisa: Yeah?

Steve: Yeah, very edwardian of me, I know.

Louisa: Or romantic.

Steve: Oh? Louisa: Yeah.

Steve: Then here's to romance.

Brooke: I need to get a cab.

I'm pooped.

Louisa: Okay. Well, where are you staying?

Maybe we can give you a ride to your hotel.

Steve: Oh, I keep a crash pad on the gold coast

For when I'm in town for work.

Actually, you both are welcome to come back if you want.

Louisa: Really? Steve: Yeah.

Brooke: No. You go ahead.

Louisa: Are you sure? Brooke: Yeah.

Steve: Okay. I'll get the check.

Yeah.

Yeah, thanks.

Have you seen my jacket?

Louisa: No.

Steve: Hold on. Louisa: Okay.

Oh, yeah, I'll be right back.

Brooke: Holy shit.

Louisa: What?

Okay! Yeah, we should pay our share.

Brooke: No. Louisa: Yeah.

Brooke: Oh my god, no !

I can't.

Steve: Hey, I think we have a bit of a problem.

My wallet's gone.

Brooke: Like, the tip is more than I'd spend on my birthday.

Louisa: Okay.

It's okay. I'm just gonna...

Brooke: Are you sure? Louisa: Yeah, no.

Brooke: Like, I can't. Louisa: I got you.

Steve: Thanks.

I cancelled my card and my phone.

Thanks.

Louisa: Oh, thank you. Steve: Yeah.

Obviously I'm gonna pay you back.

This was supposed to be my treat.

But I have an extra card in the penthouse.

Louisa: Oh, I thought you said it was a crash pad.

Steve: Ah...

My keys.

Louisa: Woo! The night is still young!

Let's do something!

Brooke: Okay, goodnight. Steve: Oh, goodnight.

Louisa: Okay, bye! Brooke: Bye!

Steve: Oh, thank you again. I'll definitely take the couch.

Louisa: Okay.

Um...

There isn't a couch.

Steve: Hmm. Louisa: Mm-hm!

Louisa:

Steve: You better get back over here.

Steve: Hey...

Wait, what?

Louisa: What?

Steve: Wait... Louisa:

Steve: Please tell me this is... This is yours.

Louisa: It's mine.

oh, god!

Steve: You are so cute.

Louisa: No, it's not!

Steve: You are so cute!

Louisa: what?

Steve: God, do you even know how beautiful you are?

Louisa: Stop. Steve: No...

You're not like the girls in la.

A sea of clones.

You're real.

Louisa: Real hungover.

I need eggs.

Steve: What do you want, fried or scrambled?

Louisa:

Steve: Anything you want.

But, uh, let me finish with you first.

Louisa: Brooke's waiting.

Steve: It's fine.

Louisa:

Steve: I really appreciate you guys

Bailing me out this weekend. Thank you.

Brooke: Oh, we had fun. Right, lou?

Steve: Hey, listen.

How about you give me your address

And I'll stop back off in green bay on my way upstate?

I have a house just outside of river hills.

I was on my way there anyway.

Louisa: Sounds beautiful.

Steve: Mm. Um...

I could come back here en route

And pay you back and take you both out,

Properly this time. Louisa: Amazing.

Steve: Yeah? Louisa: Yeah.

Brooke: Alex and I might be busy,

But you guys go ahead. Steve: Yeah?

Okay, can I borrow your phone real quick?

I'm gonna call my business partner

And get the keys for my apartment.

Louisa: Oh, yeah.

Here you go. Steve: Thank you.

And I'll be right back.

Gosh!

Brooke: So...

How was that?

Louisa: Nice.

Brooke: Nice... Like green bay?

Louisa: it was like a movie, brooke!

Not a one-night stand.

Plus, he said he doesn't do casual sex, so...

Brooke: Okay.

Well, that sounds like a second date to me.

Louisa: Yeah.

Steve: He's in a meeting downtown,

So I have to go there and pick up the keys,

Then go back to the apartment and pick up the keys

For my house upstate, and I have no card and no cash.

Louisa: Oh, so take my car.

Steve: Uh, really?

Louisa: Yeah, it's just gonna sit in the garage here

While we're doing seminars.

Steve: Uh, if that's okay.

I mean, I'll only be out for a couple of hours.

Louisa: Yeah, whatever. We finish at 4.

Steve: Okay.

Louisa: One more.

Steve: I'll be back.

Brooke: Okay, I know he's super cute,

But you did just give your car to a total stranger.

Louisa: A total stranger who had his hands all over me

Last night. Brooke: Okay, tmi!

Louisa: And just made $10 million!

Brooke: Doesn't mean he's not gonna steal your car.

Louisa:

He's not gonna steal my car.

Brooke: I'm so glad that's over.

Louisa: That was so dull.

Brooke: Yeah, ouch.

Louisa: and look who came back.

Brooke: Okay, you win! Steve: Thank you.

I really owe you.

Louisa: Don't mention it.

So... Steve: I was thinking.

Since you're already going back to green bay,

Maybe I could ride with?

It would delay us having to say goodbye for a couple hours.

Louisa: Yeah! Okay.

Brooke: Why not?

Dj: another hip-hop classic right there.

Next up, one for the ladies with a sweet tooth,

It's 50 cent's "candy shop."

Brooke: Hey, I wanna listen to that!

Louisa: Really? Brooke: Yeah!

Louisa: Isn't that song kind of filthy?

Brooke: I'm not gonna touch his lollipop.

Steve: Ah, 50's a nice guy.

I know him.

Louisa: What?! Brooke: Shut up!

Louisa: No!

Steve: Yeah, yeah, I do. I have a picture.

I'll show you--

Correction, I-I had a picture.

Brooke: Oh...

Steve: Keep forgetting my phone was stolen.

Louisa: Yeah.

Steve: Wait, I...

I can't believe this. These are...

These are the keys to my beach house.

I must have-- god!

I must have grabbed the wrong set.

Louisa: Oh! Steve: Um...

I'm gonna try my housekeeper.

Do you mind if I use your phone, please?

Damn it!

She must be gone for the long weekend.

And her cell's on my cell.

Louisa: Oh my god.

Steve: I don't know what's going on.

It feels like everything is trying to ruin

My weekend or something.

Louisa: It doesn't have to be ruined.

Steve: Phew!

Gosh, it's a pretty masculine place you've got here.

Louisa: I told you, I've been single for a while!

steve: I know!

I love it.

I'm serious.

It's cozy.

It's like you.

Louisa: Mm-hm? Steve: Mm-hm.

You know, I... I'm comfortable,

And I don't really say that very often.

Louisa: How come?

Steve: Hmm.

Trust, I guess.

The women I meet tend to really only be impressed

By the whole rich investor thing.

It kind of puts me off.

But you...

You seem to be interested in me without a dime in my pocket.

Louisa: Mm...

You still have to pay me back, dude.

Steve: With interest.

Dude.

Alex: Woo!

Sorry, man, I try to lose,

But I can't suppress my natural talent.

Steve: I didn't stand a chance, anyway.

Alex: Well, I figure you're better at making money

Than I am, so let's call it quits and end it on a high note.

Steve: Yeah, let's do that.

Brooke: But if you hurt louisa...

Steve: Oh!

Brooke: hey!

Louisa: Watch out!

Alex: Uh, so louisa was telling me you know 50 cent.

Steve: Oh, yeah. Yeah, curtis.

Alex: Curtis? Steve: Mm-hm.

Yeah, we're in the same sailing club together.

Which is how I ended up in greece.

Uh, so the onassis family,

They're trustees on my charity.

Brooke: Wait, like jackie onassis?

Steve: Her late husband's cousins.

They took me sailing

And then we ended up on mykonos on curtis' yacht.

Yeah, he was interested in some investments

I was making, and by the end of the weekend he ended up

Pledging about $100,000 to my children's charity.

Louisa: Oh, wow. Alex: Wow.

Steve: That's curtis for you.

I want to thank you all for turning this nightmare into

Actually a really great weekend for me.

Um, maybe I can thank you.

I mean, if you'll let me.

Alex: This is a dream, right?

Louisa: Not according to steve.

Car dealer: Are you ready to take it for a spin?

Louisa: This is crazy, steve! You can't buy us all cars.

Steve: No, it's fine.

I'll run it through my business. I won't even feel it.

I mean, unless you think that alex and brooke

Are gonna be embarrassed.

Alex:

Louisa: Um, I think they'll get over it.

They look...

Quite happy, actually.

Brooke: Man, I really hope steve

Doesn't disappear after this weekend!

I haven't seen louisa this happy in years.

Alex: Dude, I haven't been this happy in years!

brooke: Hah!

Louisa:

Louisa: Bye! Alex & brooke: Yeah!

Steve: All done.

They should roll off the assembly line

In about six weeks.

Alex: Honestly, buddy, this is ridiculously generous of you.

Steve: Look, I have more money than friends.

And this weekend,

It was well worth a fleet of automobiles for me.

Brooke: Oh, we'd be your friends regardless, steve.

Alex: Hey, speak for yourself.

Steve: Hey!

Steve: Hey, what are you all doing next weekend?

I've got vip tickets for a special cubs exhibition game

For charity. I wasn't gonna go.

I have to be back in la because they're...

Naming a hospital ward after me on account of a donation

That my company made.

Louisa: Really? Steve: Yeah.

Louisa: What?

Steve: I mean, I could always come back and join you all,

If you're up for it.

Brooke: Okay, only if we pay for the tickets.

Steve: No, they're complimentary.

I mean, but if you want to make a contribution,

You could just donate to inspire kids.

Alex: Okay!

I'm gonna get the next round, though.

My lady? Brooke: Yes.

Louisa: That was so sweet.

Thank you. Steve: Of course.

Yeah, your friends, they're great.

Louisa: Yeah. So are you.

Steve: Hmm, I try.

Louisa: Um, I almost forgot.

I got this for you

So you don't have to keep borrowing mine.

Steve: Come on, you didn't have to do that.

Steve: It's gonna be a pretty tight squeeze in there.

Louisa: Hmm, I guess you got a jacuzzi at your place?

Steve: Ah... Yeah.

Louisa: I knew it!

Steve: Look, it's no big deal.

Well, I did make sure the deck faces the forest,

So it's got a pretty amazing view,

Especially in the fall.

I can't wait to show it to you.

Louisa: You think we'll still know each other by then?

Steve: I hope so.

Do you?

Steve: Hey, did you order the orange chicken?

Louisa: Yeah! 20 minutes.

Steve: Okay.

I'll go get it.

Louisa: They deliver.

Steve: Oh, yeah, I have to call my business partner

About a few things to do with the sale of the company.

Plus, I could really do with a walk.

I'll grab some champagne.

Louisa: Um, maybe not champagne.

I'm just a little maxed out until my next paycheck.

We spent a lot.

Steve: Louisa, you do know I can lend you whatever you need

If money is tight.

Once I get my cards back, of course.

All you have to do is ask.

Louisa: No, I wouldn't ever.

Steve, I don't want money from you.

Steve: Hmm.

I'll be right back.

Girl...

It's like he looks right into my soul.

Does that sound corny?

Brooke: Yeah, disgustingly so.

Brooke:

No, but seriously, lou, just be a little cautious, okay?

He's from this totally different world, and...

It's all happening super fast, right?

Louisa: So?

Brooke: I don't know, just rein in your expectations.

He has this lifestyle and it's not what we're from.

Louisa: Oh, so you mean if steve hangs with 50 cent

And billionaire yachtsmen, what's he doing with me?

Brooke: No, I just don't want you to get hurt, louisa.

You don't know anything about his personal life yet.

Maybe just ask him a few more questions.

Louisa: for a small window of time,

I was floating.

I was that special person, that princess in the story.

Looking in, I would have been jealous of me.

Louisa: besides, I wasn't an idiot, right?

I was 27, not some goofy teenager.

I knew when a guy was telling me the truth or not.

Didn't I?

Steve: They apologized for taking so long, but...

They gave us free mango pudding.

Louisa: I hate mango pudding!

Steve: Mmm!

What?

I thought you said you didn't want any.

Louisa: I don't.

Steve: No? Louisa: No.

Steve: Okay. Suit yourself.

Louisa: Let me get this. Steve: No, no.

Louisa: No, I-- steve: Nah, I got it!

I'm not too spoiled to stack the dishwasher.

Louisa: You must think you're seriously slumming it here.

Steve: What?

No, I told you, this place is like a nest

Away from my chaotic life.

Louisa: How come we can't just drive up to river hills

And ask your housekeeper for the keys?

She must live nearby.

Steve: Oh, no, she had plans for the holiday weekend.

Louisa: What, after you said you were gonna stay?

Steve: Yeah, there wasn't a lot of notice.

I told her not to cancel her plans.

Louisa: Didn't you say you had a gardener?

Wouldn't he have the keys?

Steve: Uh...

It was a garden designer.

And, uh, I didn't want to bother him.

Louisa: But you don't mind bothering me and my friends?

Steve: Hold on, I was under the impression

That you invited me here.

Louisa: I mean, obviously I invited you here.

Steve: What the hell is this about, louisa?

Huh?

Uh, have I done something wrong?

Louisa: Of course not! I just, I...

It was just something brooke said.

I just wanted to be sure.

Steve: You wanted to be sure of what?

That I'd pay you back? Louisa: No!

I wanted to be sure you weren't using my money

So you didn't have evidence on your own card.

I wanted to be sure you didn't have a wife and kid

In your house upstate!

I don't... Steve: Wow.

Louisa: Isn't that fair, that I would ask that?

You know, we hardly know each other.

Steve: Yeah, I really got this wrong.

Louisa: Steve, what are you--

Steve: Trust works both ways, louisa.

And I obviously misjudged this.

Look, I'll find another ride upstate

And I'll get a locksmith.

And don't worry, I'll pay you back every single penny

I owe you...

With interest.

Louisa: This is stupid.

Steve: And you guys can keep the cars.

I won't be that petty.

Louisa: I don't want the cars or the money!

I just want to know the truth!

Yeah, who's this?

Oh, hey, bro.

Sorry, I didn't recognize this number.

What's up?

Steve: Hey, I'm stuck in green bay, mitch.

Long story. I need some cash.

Mitch: Look, man, I'd love to help,

But I'm kind of busy right now.

I'm with a friend and we're heading to vegas.

Steve: Mitch!

Steve: Hey. Uh...

Look, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to lose my temper.

It's something I'm still working on,

And it's probably the reason why I'm still single.

Louisa: Hmph!

Steve: Look, there's no wife and there's no kids upstate.

I promise.

Steve: Hey, I tried to get my brother to wire me some money.

That way you don't have to wait, but he's out of town.

Louisa: How many times-- it's not about the money.

Steve: I know.

Look... Sometimes it's just hard for me to compute.

I don't know what it is.

My dad, he was always so disapproving.

If I did good, then I would get a hug,

But if I didn't succeed...

Phew! Well...

Louisa: Oh...

Steve: I think I'm just not great with rejection, you know?

Maybe that's why I try to buy love.

I'm stupid, right?

Louisa: No, it's good you can recognize it.

Steve: Yeah.

Regardless of how well I do,

All my achievements,

My drive to succeed, and all the money I have, I guess I...

I guess I just want to be liked.

Louisa: You've got it.

Steve: Yeah?

You like me?

Is that what it is?

Okay, but we have to clear something up.

Louisa: Mm-hm?

Steve:

Okay, is it gonna be me... Louisa:

Steve: Or is it gonna be him? Hmm?

Louisa: You. It's you.

Steve: Me? Louisa: Yeah!

Steve: Okay.

Oh, god.

Louisa: Come here.

Steve: Wake up! Pack an overnight bag.

Louisa: Huh?

Steve: Hey, we're driving back to the city to get the right key

And then we're going direct to river hills.

Uh, you can take an extra day off work, right?

Louisa: I guess so.

Steve: Okay, well, then it's settled.

I'm going to prove to you that there's no wife

And there's no kids.

But there is a hot tub...

And a steam room... And a cinema room...

And a great, big double bed.

Coffee?

Louisa: Thank you.

Alex: Honey, what did steve say

His children's charity was called?

I want to make that donation.

Brooke: Inspire kids.

Alex: Inspire kids...

Steve: Okay, this is it.

Yeah, you can park just right up here.

Yeah.

Steve: Okay...

I'm gonna take all this up and grab the keys.

Louisa: Yeah. Steve: I'll be right back.

It'll take ten minutes tops, okay?

I'll be back.

Louisa: Hey, brooke! Guess where I am?

Wait, wait, slow down. What?

Brooke: Okay, so alex and I were looking up steve online.

Okay?

Louisa: What? Why?

Brooke, what is your problem?

Alex: Lou, lou, lou, lou! You have to listen!

we can't find anyone named steve johnson

Connected to a charity named inspire kids.

We spoke to someone there and they've never heard of him.

Brooke: Not only that, there is--

Louisa: Stop it! Just stop!

So he uses his middle name.

Plenty of people use their middle name.

Brooke: No, there's no company called

Gold halo investments, either, lou.

There's no onassis trustees

And there is no exhibition cubs game anywhere next weekend,

Let alone chicago.

Brooke: Louisa?

Louisa: Hi, I'm here to see steve johnson.

Doorman: I'm sorry, ma'am, we don't have a steve johnson.

Louisa: Come on, he literally just walked in!

Johnson?

Did he not just go to his penthouse?

Doorman: No one's gone through these doors

In the last half hour. We don't even have a penthouse.

Louisa: He's here all the time! Brown hair, blue eyes, white.

Doorman: Ma'am! Louisa: Excuse me!

Doorman: Ma'am, I'm gonna have to call security.

Louisa:

Cop: He had this bill of sale on him?

Louisa: In the leather document wallet.

Cop: At the bar? And he showed it to you?

Louisa: Yeah, it sounds stupid, but he said he was celebrating,

And, I mean, it looked real to us.

Brooke: Yeah, he showed it to the sports car dealer

And he also bought it.

Cop: Right, this is when he said

He would buy you all cars, right?

Brooke: He was very convincing.

Cop: I'm sure he was.

These kind of guys have it down to an art.

They reel you in using your trust and then offer theirs,

And then-- bang!

They're gone before you can even wonder why they didn't get

Their good, old pal 50 cent to help them out.

Is there anything you can think of

That might help us locate him?

Louisa: He said he lived in la and had a house upstate,

And a penthouse in chicago, and a beach house in hawaii.

Brooke: Everything he said was lies.

We don't even know if his real name is steve.

Cop: I'm real sorry, miss.

Officer kate: Excuse us. Cop: There's not much we can do.

Louisa: How could I be so stupid?

I mean, I... I thought I knew him.

We spent, like, hours talking, and the rest of it--

Brooke: Louisa, it's not your fault.

Louisa: I trusted him! Brooke: He had all of us.

Louisa: Yeah, but you didn't fall in love with someone

Who doesn't even exist.

Brooke: Louisa, I'm so sorry.

Louisa: No, I'm...

I'm going home. Brooke: Can I come with you?

Louisa: No, I don't want to talk to anybody.

I just want to be left alone.

Louisa: it was like a light went off inside me.

I went from feeling super special

To the world's biggest fool.

Louisa: of course he was too good to be true.

Of course I should have known better.

The disappointment was overwhelming.

Francie: Why haven't you been answering your calls?

Brooke told me you haven't been in to work.

Louisa: Mom, I'm sick.

Francie: She also told me what happened.

Louisa: I don't want to talk about it.

Francie: Hmph!

Okay, honey!

Okay.

Louisa: The police don't even know where he is

Or care enough to find out.

Francie: What, he just gets away with it?

Louisa: Well, I can't do anything!

Francie: Are you sure about that?

You are one of the most-- get up--

Determined people I know, honey.

You remember when you used to get mad at me when I would

Fall for some no-good loser?

Tell me I was worth more

And I should stand up for myself?

Louisa: Well, how can I stand up to a pack of lies?

Francie: Make a noise, honey!

You don't want him to do this to anyone else, do you?

Louisa: he said he lost his wallet,

"borrowed" over a thousand dollars

From me and my friends.

He even used my phone.

Oh my god.

where's my charger?

Louisa: Come on, come on, come on, come on.

Car dealer: murray's luxury auto?

Louisa: Oh, hi. Um...

I was in last weekend with some friends and a guy called

Steve johnson.

We test drove some of your cars, and I was just--

Car dealer: I've been trying you for days.

Mr. Johnson's finance information was false.

I'm calling the cops.

Louisa: Yeah, call them.

Please.

Woman: hello?

Louisa: Um... Hi.

Um, you don't know me,

But my name's louisa russell.

Do you know someone called steve johnson?

Woman: I think we need to talk.

Shania: You're not the first woman to call me about steve.

I haven't seen him in two years.

He calls sometimes to check on amy.

Never the same number twice.

That's what he does.

Lives off other people.

Louisa: Steals from them, you mean?

Rips them off and lies to them?

Shania: Yeah.

Louisa: You're okay with that?

Shania: No.

Louisa: But you still speak to him.

Shania: I live in hope that he'll send some money,

But he never does.

So I drive a cab when amy's sleeping.

Louisa: Shania, I came all the way to michigan for this.

I need to know where he lives.

Shania: I don't know, okay?

And even if I did, it wouldn't be the truth.

steve has always been a liar.

I grew up in the same town as him and his brother.

They're twins.

Louisa: You remember where they lived?

Shania: Hmph! Don't waste your time.

His folks hate him even more than I do.

Louisa: even though shania warned me not to go,

I had to see it for myself:

The house where steve grew up.

Dustin: The last time I saw him,

He took his mother's bank card and emptied all our savings.

He may as well have killed his mother.

We're not supposed to have favourites, but...

Ann doted on steve when he was a boy.

Even his brother mitch was jealous,

And he was the smarter of the two.

But steve, he...

He had a smile that could break your heart.

Mitch, he does what he can to make up for it, but it's...

It's too late for ann.

Louisa: So does mitch live nearby?

Dustin: No, he travels for work.

He calls when he can.

But he's given up on steve as much as the rest of us have.

Ann picked the wrong boy, that's for sure.

Ann: no...

oh!

Dustin: Now see what you've done?

Coming here, bringing up bad memories.

Ann: louisa: I'm...

I'm so sorry.

I'll see myself out.

Dustin: okay, okay, okay.

Okay, okay... Ann:

Dustin: Alright, alright.

Louisa: can you tell me more about steve?

Mitch: steve had so much potential.

He got in with the wrong crowd,

And when I went off to college,

He went off to jail.

Again and again.

I tried to help him, but that just made him jealous,

And then he started adding my achievements

To his made-up credentials.

So, for my sake, I had to distance myself.

I haven't seen steve in a long time.

And I don't want to.

I guess some people are just plain bad.

Louisa: Okay. Well, thank you.

I'm grateful for your honesty.

Mitch: You know, I don't appreciate getting cold calls

From your slip-ups, steve.

If you want to be sloppy on your own time,

Then that's your problem,

But do not get sloppy with my details.

Don't call me.

Steve: Uh, check, please!

Waiter: Of course, sir.

Steve: Ah, I forgot my wallet in the car.

I'll make sure to tip you double,

And I'll tell the guys back at city hall

About your amazing service.

Waiter: Thank you so much, councillor randolph.

I'm so glad you enjoyed your visit.

Steve: I'll be right back.

I couldn't get steve out of my head.

It was like...

Like, "how could I be fooled so completely?"

I had no idea then what kind of danger I was in.

I didn't realize what I was inviting into my life.

I was obsessed with finding out everything I could

About who it was I had spent all that time with.

There you are.

Louisa: Turns out he's been arrested in texas, colorado,

And michigan, but has never done anything big enough

To keep him inside long enough.

Brooke: Big enough?

He coerces women into sleeping with him and then he robs them.

That isn't some kind of sex crime?

Louisa: Okay, changing the world's a bigger project.

Right now, what I can do is track his movements

And warn people he's in the area.

Brooke: You know where he is? Louisa: Kind of.

It wasn't just my phone he was using.

I bought him a prepaid, remember?

And he's still using the factory setting pin!

I can access his messages.

Brooke: So, call him, tell him that he owes you 1,500 bucks,

And that he's a sick, disgusting monster.

Louisa: No, he'll ditch the phone if I do that.

Brooke: So what?

You have the satisfaction of telling him how heinous he is.

Louisa: It's more important I get the messages

To keep tabs on him.

Shouldn't you be leaving this to the police?

Louisa: And how well has that gone so far?

Holly: Hi!

Holly stokes of bella ridge real estate.

We spoke on the phone.

Steve: Great to meet you in person.

Holly: Yeah.

It's beautiful, don't you think?

Steve: Yeah, it's nice.

Uh, but there were a couple other properties

I wanted to check out,

But I have to be in chester for a gala

The day after tomorrow, so...

Holly: Sounds fun.

Steve: Well, not if you have stage fright.

Ben affleck and jennifer garner are major contributors.

Holly: Wait, you know ben affleck?

Steve: Yeah.

They're coming in with a party of friends

And I have to make a speech, so...

Holly: Well, better you than me.

But I'm sure we can work something around your schedule.

Steve: Maybe you could be of some help.

I wasn't really planning on staying the weekend,

But maybe you could provide a hotel suite and a computer.

I mean, I'd really appreciate that.

Otherwise I'll probably have to take a rain check.

Holly: No, no, no, leave it with me.

It shouldn't be a problem, mr. Murray.

Steve: Call me anthony.

Holly: Anthony.

You don't look sick to me.

Louisa: I am sick.

Steve johnson makes me sick to my stomach.

Brooke: Louisa, I can't keep covering for you at work.

You're gonna get fired!

You need to move on.

Louisa: No, several woman have emailed me

Saying they've spotted him.

Who else is gonna stop him?

Brooke: Okay. Louisa: No!

Brooke: Louisa, this isn't healthy, okay?

You need to get out.

You need to take a break.

Come to the moz with alex and me tomorrow night.

Please?

Drink some beers, play some pool.

Let steve johnson be somebody else's problem for a little bit.

Louisa: Okay, fine.

Brooke: Promise? Louisa: I promise.

Brooke: Okay, it's a date.

Oh...

Louisa: No.

Oh, no, no.

Oh, no, no, no!

Louisa: Shit.

Shit, shit, shit!

Shit!

Louisa: I couldn't believe it.

I thought we'd been so careful.

He said he couldn't have kids.

Except everything he said was a lie.

I could wash him off me,

But I couldn't just wash the baby away.

Steve: Uh, yo?

Louisa: Steve?

It's louisa.

Steve: How the hell did you get this number?

Louisa: I bought the phone, einstein.

You're not the only genius around.

Steve: Okay. Uh, yeah, what do you want?

Louisa: Actually...

I'm pregnant.

Steve: So?

Louisa: I just thought you should know.

So at least my conscience is clear.

Steve: Okay, well I'm gonna make one thing clear.

I have no interest in what you're selling.

Sorry, time to get a new phone.

Too many cold calls.

They, um, couldn't have been nicer at the clinic.

They gave me two options, talked me through

Exactly what was involved.

I... I wasn't even afraid.

But...

When it came down to it,

Something just didn't seem right.

Know what I mean?

Brooke: So you're gonna have the baby?

Louisa: Yeah.

Doesn't mean I'm gonna keep it.

I don't know, it feels like there's a...

A parasite growing inside me,

Like a changeling or whatever.

It's got his dna.

Brooke: It also has yours, louisa.

Louisa: I don't know how these things work,

But if it is nature and nurture,

I've gotta find it a decent family

That's gonna raise it right

So it can stand a chance of becoming a human being.

Francie: What about me?

I mean, he or she will have my dna too,

So that way you could see it

Whenever you want and we could play--

Louisa: Not gonna work, mom.

I mean, thank you...

But let's not pretend it was easy for you the first time.

Francie: This time, I would have you as backup.

Louisa: No, you wouldn't.

You think I want to watch my kid grow up across town?

You think that's healthy?

If I'm gonna carry this baby to term,

I owe it a good family somewhere far away.

Francie: Brooke and I will be here for you,

Whatever you need. Right?

Brooke: Uh, in spirit, if not in person.

Brooke: Alex got a promotion in arizona.

We're moving at the end of this month.

Louisa: Arizona?

Brooke: I'm sorry, lou.

We'll call all the time.

And we'll visit.

Louisa: No!

I'm... I'm...

I'm happy for you, brooke. This is...

This is so exciting. Brooke: Yeah?

Louisa: Yeah!

Tell alex I said congratulations.

And don't worry about me.

I'm a survivor, right?

Brooke: Okay.

Louisa: Yeah.

Holly: When I saw your post on matchyouup.Com,

I knew I had to meet you.

It sounds horrible, but I was relieved

When I wasn't the only one he conned.

Louisa: Yeah, unfortunately,

Steve johnson's a pro at being a scumbag.

Holly: Except he called himself anthony.

Anthony murray.

Louisa: Yeah.

Holly: So, anthony won't tell you,

But they're naming a ward after him at mount cedar hospital.

Woman: Ooh. Man: Oh, how come?

Holly: Because he donated, like, millions of dollars.

Man: Hmm!

Holly: Okay, we've talked enough about me tonight.

Holly: No!

Man: The spotlight's on you, mister.

You're new here. Come on.

Holly: Guess what anthony did to help pay his way

Through harvard business school?

Man: Let me guess...

A little modelling, perchance?

Yeah?

Woman: Mm. Mm-hm, I could see it!

holly: He was a stuntman.

Steve: I was a stunt double, okay?

There's a big difference. Man: That is amazing.

Holly: Yeah, he stood in for matt damon

In the talented mr. Ripley . Woman: No way!

Steve: I was matt damon's ass double, okay?

Woman: Oh my god!

Holly: Show them. Show them!

Man: You gotta turn around. You gotta turn around.

Hey!

Man: Matt damon, is that you?

Steve: Okay, can we please move on now?

Okay, I want to hear about you guys.

Holly, she tells me that you have a villa in st. Tropez.

Man: That is correct. Steve: Yeah?

Holly: Oh, it's beautiful.

Steve: Oh, I've always loved the south of France.

Man: We were actually gonna go there in a couple days,

And if you want, you guys can tag along.

Holly: You should come! Steve: Really?

Man: Yeah. Woman: Of course.

Steve: Cheers to that. Man: Cheers.

Woman: Cheers.

Holly: He hung around, leeching off my friends for five days,

And then... Gone.

I feel so stupid,

And ashamed, because I was impressed.

I can't deny it. So... What does that make me?

Louisa: Don't.

Just because you believed the wrong guy

Doesn't give him the right to your self worth.

All that shame belongs to him.

Not to you.

Don't let a loser like steve johnson

Determine your future.

He doesn't deserve that honour.

Holly: I think your baby just agreed.

Louisa: Yeah!

Louisa: If I keep the baby, will you help me raise it?

Francie: Yes!

Come here! Oh-ho-ho!

Every step of the way, honey.

I thought that man had broken your spirit.

Louisa: He wishes.

Francie: You're doing it!

Ooh!

Louisa: my name is louisa russell,

And I'm starting this blog to warn people about steve johnson,

Otherwise known as anthony murray,

Professor john marino,

And who knows what else.

Woman: he took me to a restaurant,

Then realized he'd lost his wallet and keys.

Woman: saw him in vancouver on the 13th of July.

Woman: he was so convincing.

Man: the dude said he'd pay me back.

Woman: I feel so stupid.

Woman: he said he was running for office.

Woman: he wore nice clothes, a nice watch.

We drove around in a sports car.

Louisa: No...

oh, no, no, no, no...

it's too soon! Something's wrong!

Doctor: We have a fetal bradycardia.

Get her in left lateral fetal scalp stimulation.

Have the surgeons prepped.

Give her 500 normal saline, stat.

Louisa: I wasn't even looking for love

When I met steve johnson,

But as it happens, I found it.

And I was gonna make sure my baby

Was the exact opposite of his father.

Brooke: Hi! Louisa: Hi!

Brooke: Say hi to auntie brooke!

Oh, he just gets more and more beautiful every time I see him.

Wow, look at that!

Louisa: Do you like it?

Hal: It's a dog. Brooke: Yeah!

Louisa: Yeah, it's a cool present.

Brooke: You can spin the wheels until he's ready to walk.

Yeah? You gonna spin the wheels?

Louisa: Yeah, most kids his age are walking already.

Brooke: So he's taking his time, and this will help you catch up,

Won't it, hal?

Louisa: I miss you.

Brooke: I miss you, too.

You know, I check out your website whenever I can.

You have quite the following.

Well, I guess steve does.

Bet he's sorry he ever met you.

Louisa: Ditto.

But since I did, if he puts his details on a website,

Eventually it leads back to my page.

If anyone checks a known alias, it pings back to me.

And I tell them all the same thing: File it.

Brooke: It's almost time.

Oh, there it is!

Anchor: he poses as a rich, young playboy,

Or sometimes as a wealthy investor,

Or even as a professor or a military man.

But detectives say that he pulls off such a convincing act

That women trust him, and they end up with broken hearts--

And empty bank accounts.

Louisa: he does not have a job.

He does not have a legal address.

This is what he does for a living,

So he's really good at it.

And it's both men and women, it's business owners,

It's lawyers, it's real estate agents,

And the more people that come forward,

The more likely this guy will go to jail.

Louisa: brooke: You did that.

Louisa: I did.

Reporter: more people are coming forward.

This video shows steve johnson's arrest in vermont last month,

Arrested for fraud.

They found him in a local bar where he had been talking about

Renting the venue for a party for $15,000,

But apparently it was just a ruse to get free food

And drinks.

In a montpellier courtroom,

Johnson refused to reveal his true name.

Receptionist: Miss russell?

Reporter: The judge was puzzled by his behaviour.

We found court documents showing steve johnson has posed

As his identical twin brother before.

He now sits in jail without bond until his next court date.

Pediatric specialist: Hal has significant problems

In auditory processing, communication.

As you already know, his physical and social development

Are both delayed.

It's too early for an accurate prognosis,

But with the right interventions

It's possible we might see some improvements.

Louisa: so let's go through it.

What are the right interventions?

Pediatric specialist: Speech therapy,

Physical and occupational therapy to start.

A full-time specialist preschool.

It's an enormous undertaking.

You're going to need a lot of support systems in place.

Louisa: Yeah.

Pediatric specialist: Is there anyone you can rely on?

Louisa: Yeah, .

Louisa: it wasn't easy.

Juggling hal's needs meant I couldn't work full-time,

Even with my mom's help, so money was tight.

But we were strong and happy and safe.

Louisa: Oh! Francie: Oh... Oh!

Louisa: or so I thought.

Louisa: Nice.

Brooke: It must feel really good knowing you played a hand

In steve's conviction.

Louisa: Absolutely.

I realized I could either wallow in it the rest of my life,

Or I could stop it from happening to other people.

Brooke: You're so much braver than I ever could be.

And it's good.

He's out of the way for the moment.

That must be a relief.

Louisa: Yeah, but he'll get out,

And he'll find someone else to feed off of.

What he does causes long-term damage to real lives.

He's probably affected hundreds of people.

I have four years of data

And a whole network of people he's scammed.

I'm going to publish a timeline of his crimes.

Louisa: when I looked at it together,

All the sightings and arrests over time,

Something wasn't adding up.

uh, gin and tonic.

Uh, thank you.

Bridge, it's my favourite.

Bonny: Ah!

You play?

Michel: Well, yes, with my colleague.

We play at the sorbonne in paris.

I am actually a professor of economics,

So we tend to like games of...

How you say, ah... Strategy and skill.

Bonny: Hmm! How about that, girls?

We're in the same league as math professors now.

Pull up a chair, why don't you, monsieur...?

Michel: Oh, michel. How do you say in english?

Um... Mike?

Bonny: Oui!

Michel: May I buy you all another round of drinks?

Bonny: How about it, girls, three more tequila sunrises?

Michel: Yeah?

Ah, merde, alors!

I seem to have forgotten my jacket in my room.

Bonny: Don't be silly. Put his drinks on our tab.

Michel: That is very kind of you, madame.

Bonny: Michel?

Mike?

Oh!

Shoot!

Louisa: between home school,

Play time, and therapy, hal kept us busy,

But I was still distracted by this gnawing feeling

That there was more to steve and mitch's story.

Louisa: Unless steve's a time traveller who can walk through

Prison walls, it wasn't just steve pretending to be mitch.

It has to be the other way around as well.

Brooke: Okay, wait, let me get this straight.

So...

So, mitch isn't really the good twin after all?

Is that really a surprise?

Louisa: Don't you get it?

If mitch is just as bad as steve, and they're identical,

Then who was it we spent that weekend in chicago with, brooke?

Who was it I slept with?

I was floored.

Not only didn't I know who steve really was,

But now I didn't know if steve or mitch was my son's father.

And even if one of them went to jail,

There was still a carbon copy out there

Preying off of innocent people.

Louisa: once I started digging,

It turned out mitch had a rap sheet

Nearly as long as steve's,

In multiple states with multiple police forces,

And at least as many fake names

Flying under the radar of his brother up till now.

Steve had led me straight to mitch,

And now I could expose both of them.

Mitch: What did I tell you about cleaning up your messes,

You moron?

Steve: We're identical, mitch.

If I'm a moron, then you're a moron.

We're the same.

Mitch: No, we are demonstrably not.

You don't think things through, you don't cover your tracks,

And you have zero imagination.

You're half the intellect that I am.

Aliana: my name is aliana

And I am a cocktail waitress at a nightclub

That mitch was booking for a private party

With some movie company.

We hung out afterwards and he said that he needed to buy

A suit for some meeting and that he would pay me back

When his cards were sent to his hotel.

I feel so stupid now and don't know what to do.

I looked him up online and your website popped up.

Is there any way we could talk?

Do you have a number I could reach you at?

Aliana: that's so cool.

Thank you, louisa. You're awesome.

I can't wait to reach out.

Mitch: I can't wait to reach out.

Louisa: Mom?

Mitch: hey, remember me?

Louisa: How'd you get my number?

Mitch: You gave it to me, louisa.

Online. Because you're an idiot.

And you're a fool for betraying me

After I've been so cordial to you in the past.

Louisa: You mean lying to me?

Mitch: Big mistake, louisa.

I'm gonna make you pay.

You think you're a fit mother, huh?

An unstable, gold-digging slut like you?

They're gonna take your kid away, louisa,

And I'll get custody as his father.

Louisa: He's not your son!

Mitch: Hmm, you sure about that?

Louisa: I was determined not to be intimidated.

Louisa: I tried to ignore him,

But he kept it up, night after night,

And he knew how to get to me.

Mitch: how's green bay?

Looks great from where I'm standing.

I just got off the bus.

You're gonna wish you never heard my name, or my brother's.

Louisa: And what name is that, mitch?

Mitch: nice try.

Louisa: I'm taping you.

You're harassing me and I'm gonna prove it.

Mitch: You can't prove shit.

I can be anyone.

And we all know you sleep around.

Wow, you really are dumb, aren't you?

Louisa: What do you want?

Mitch: I want to break you.

And I know how.

You will not have a son anymore.

I've got it all taken care of.

I've got your address and everything.

Louisa: Oh, yeah?

I don't believe you.

Louisa: He just called again

And said he's outside watching me.

I have the blinds closed, so he's totally bluffing.

I don't even buy he's in green bay.

Mitch: louisa...

Louisa: I told you to stop calling me.

Mitch: Ha-ha... I see you!

Hey, aren't you gonna invite me in?

How about you go out and I babysit?

Louisa: Stop calling me!

Mitch: I'm coming for you.

Louisa: geez!

Hal: Mommy?

Louisa: You know mommy always told you

Not to talk to strangers, right? Hal: Yes.

Louisa: Even if they say they know you.

Hal: Yes.

Louisa: Right, so if anyone wants to walk with you

From school, anyone except mommy or nana or miss schumann,

You don't go. Okay?

Hal: Okay.

Louisa: You promise? Hal: I promise.

Louisa: Okay.

Seal it with a kiss.

I love you.

Louisa: Hal?

Okay, sweetie, you gotta wake up.

Okay, we just gotta leave.

You just gotta come with me. Come on.

Come on. Let's go.

Louisa: Come on.

Louisa: Get in.

Louisa: Come on, come on, come on.

louisa:

Hal: What is it, mommy?

Louisa: It's okay, sweetie.

Go back to sleep, okay?

Francie: You're tired.

No wonder your mind's playing tricks on you.

Louisa: No, I know what I saw.

Francie: Well, you told me yourself

You just had a nightmare.

Louisa: But what if mitch is hal's father?

How would I know?

And maybe he could sue me for a custody claim.

I mean, he's smart, right?

He obviously knows something about the law.

Like, how did they both get off so easily?

Francie: Louisa?

Louisa: And I thought about maybe a dna test,

Except even if I could get steve to agree,

They're identical twins, right?

So they have the same dna!

Francie: Lou? Lou!

Louisa: And I don't know even--

Louisa: And steve's not gonna do me any favours.

They're probably in it together!

Francie: Okay, okay, listen to me.

Listen. Listen to yourself, hmm?

What you said to all the women who got conned by those cretins,

You file it, you report it, you call the cops.

Louisa: But I...

I mean, I don't know. I try to fight back.

But...

Mom, if he took hal from me...

Francie: Nobody is taking anyone.

Come here, come here.

Shh!

What does it matter which of them fathered hal, hmm?

They're crooks, for god's sake!

No court's gonna give them custody.

Now, shh, you just...

You just focus on hal,

Our beautiful, happy,

Giggling angel.

Hmm?

Come here.

Hal: I can't sleep, mommy.

I'm scared. Francie: Come here, baby.

Louisa: it was one thing frightening me,

But hal was frightened now.

Hal, who had enough to deal with,

Who I swore I would protect with every cell in my body

From the day he was born.

Louisa: I have call logs, film, tape recordings.

It's ongoing and I want it all on record.

Officer kate: So long as he's using burner phones

And bad ip addresses, we can't actually identify him.

Louisa: Okay, I know it's mitch!

His brother's in jail and he said he knew my address,

And I think I saw him.

Officer kate: You think you did? Or you did?

Louisa: Either way, he's threatening me!

Officer kate: Someone threatened you.

Louisa:

Officer kate: Look, I believe you,

But legally there's nothing we definitively have

That links these calls to mitch johnson.

It could be anyone.

Louisa: So it's down to me?

Officer kate: Take my number.

We'll do everything we can to support you, louisa.

You're absolutely doing the right thing

By logging it all.

Louisa: but yeah, I was on my own...

Except I wasn't, was I?

Louisa: We know more about them

Than they could ever know about us.

Shania: Like what, though, other than they're lying scumbags?

Louisa: We know how they operate.

And we know they move differently.

Steve seems to get off on emotional power, builds trust,

Sticks around until he can enjoy it, and then he's dust.

Holly: Yeah, that's exactly how it was with me.

Louisa: Yeah, and we know it was steve who scammed holly

Because his brother was in court in grand rapids.

Mitch, on the other hand, is after a quick hit.

In and out with whatever he can grab.

Thinks he's a genius.

Bonny: he sure had me fooled,

Till he swiped $300, my cartier watch,

And my dignity.

Louisa: You should be proud for coming forward, bonny.

He relies on us being too ashamed.

And we couldn't have done any of this

If it weren't for you bankrolling us.

Bonny: Whatever it takes to nail that shmuck.

Shania: So... What have we got?

Louisa: We've got a budget, a realtor, a cab driver,

And we know where he is,

Thanks to our trusted friends online.

You sure you're up for this?

I would do it, except mitch knows what I look like.

Holly: Honestly... I can't freaking wait.

Louisa: And that was it.

We were gonna play mitch at his own game

And catch him red-handed in the process.

Holly: White wine, large.

I've just been stood up.

Mitch: Allow me.

Don't worry, I'm not trying to pick you up.

I'm also commiserating.

I've been stood up myself.

Uh, this research catch-up just really isn't doing it for me.

Holly: Researching what?

Mitch: Quantum mechanics.

I'm a professor in mathematics.

I know, exciting stuff, right?

Obviously, my first date in four years...

Thinks so as well.

Ugh...

Just as well she didn't show up.

I seem to have left my wallet at home.

Holly: Well, in that case, drinks are on me!

What's your poison?

Louisa: it was like we were charlie's angels.

Holly: Ugh, me and tech never get along!

Louisa: Shitty charlie's angels.

Mitch: This is enchanting.

Holly: thank you!

Mitch: Do you live here all alone?

Holly: I have a very optimistic maid.

Mitch: Oh.

Holly: Make yourself comfortable and I will get us some drinks.

Mitch: Okay.

Shania: Okay!

Louisa: Take the bag!

Holly: did he take the bag?

Holly: Did he take the bag?

Louisa: Okay, just make some noise.

Do the drinks! Holly: Okay!

Mitch: Do you want me to put on some music?

Holly: Uh, yeah, sure, sure.

do we have music?

Shania: Just take the damn bag!

Louisa: He's looking through the cabinets!

Holly: no, no, no, no, no!

Louisa: What?

Holly: It's show home! There's nothing in them!

Louisa: Okay, just holly, act normal.

Say it's a rental.

Louisa: Holly? Holly!

Holly, holly! Get out of there now!

Holly!

Holly!

Mitch: What the hell is this? Holly: oh!

Louisa: The cops are on their way, mitch.

Mitch: Are you kidding me?

Louisa: What are you gonna do?

Mitch: I'm gonna sit here and I'm gonna wait for the police

To come and arrest you, louisa.

Louisa: What?! Mitch: Yeah.

I mean, you lured me here under false pretenses.

holly: Louisa, are you okay?

Mitch: I dunno, maybe you were planning to make

Some sort of sex tape with me without my consent.

I don't know.

And when I found out your little perverted plan,

You locked me in.

Holly: Let us know you're okay!

Mitch: That's what I'm gonna tell them.

Louisa: No one's going to believe that!

We caught you on camera looking into the handbag!

Mitch: Oh, that's so...

Do you even know what entrapment is, louisa?

Oh well, it makes a lot of sense that you don't know what that is

Because you have an idiot son, so like mother, like son.

Louisa: At least my mother loves me.

At least I'm riddled with jealousy over my identical twin.

Mitch: You don't know a goddamn thing about my life!

Louisa: Oh, yeah?

I know your mother sits there dribbling into a cup

Because her favourite baby boy turned out bad.

And I know they think the sun shines out of your ass

In comparison, but that's because you've been

Lying to them.

You're a liar, mitch!

At least steve was loved for who he was.

You?

you've got nothing!

Mitch: Oh, do you think that I give an actual shit

About what you think?

Louisa: I bet you care what your mom thinks.

Maybe you were the booby prize,

But at least you were the smart one,

The upstanding one.

But how do you think she's gonna feel when she figures out

That you're even worse than bad boy steve?

Mitch:

Mitch: Augh!

Augh!

Augh!

Louisa:

Mitch: Louisa!

Louisa!

louisa...

Louisa...

Where are you?

Oh, you want to play hide and seek?

Okay, fine.

I'll be the seeker.

I'm gonna count to ten, okay?

One...

Two...

look, I'm not gonna hurt you.

I promise, I'm not gonna hurt you.

Just come out. I know you're in there.

Louisa: Leave me alone!

Stop!

Stop!

Mitch: Augh!

Officer kate: Drop your weapon!

Drop your weapon!

Put your hands behind your head.

Mitch:

Officer kate: Get down. Get down!

Give me your arm.

You have the right to remain silent, jack ass.

Louisa: it was a totally stupid,

Dangerous plan, and it backfired badly.

But what happened meant mitch got six years for assault

And false imprisonment.

It wasn't long enough for us, but for a while,

At least both the johnson twins were out of action.

Francie: I'll get it.

Louisa: What you drawing?

Francie: Hello?

It's for you.

Someone from a podcast called "kingston's conversation."

Debbie: Have you ever had your identity stolen,

Your personal details used in a scam?

Have you ever been seduced by someone

Who wasn't who they said they were?

Welcome back.

I'm debbie kingston and we're here with louisa russell.

What a story.

What would you say to anyone who's been affected

By these con artist twins?

Louisa: File it.

However pointless it may seem, report it and get it filed,

Because the police from different states can use

This information to build a bigger picture.

Debbie: And what would you say to the johnson twins,

To mitch and steve johnson, either or both,

If you had the chance?

Louisa: Hey, steve and mitch.

I'm coming for you.

Me and every woman and man you've abused.

We know who you are and we will name and shame you every time.

And we will do the same to all the other con men out there

Who try to take advantage of innocent women.

We stand for any woman

Who's been lied to by someone they trust.

Francie:

You excited to celebrate your birthday with your friends

At school, honey? Hal: Yes.

Francie: And when you come home, your cake will be here!

Hal: Yay!

Louisa: My big kid, eight years old!

I'm so proud of you.

Come here.

Mm-hm!

Francie: And you should be proud of yourself.

I know I am.

Hal: I want to go to school!

Francie: Oh, bossy!

Okay, okay!

Louisa: Girl, guess what?

They've added two years to steve's sentence

For assaulting his brother,

Which means he won't be paroled until 2023,

Around the same time as mitch.

Brooke: At least the world gets a break from them

For another year or so.

Louisa: Hallelujah to that!

Brooke: But I guess we both know that as soon as they get out,

They'll just pick up where they left off.

Louisa: So will I, girl!

Anyway, enough about these losers.

When are you guys getting here?

Brooke: In a couple hours.

And I can't wait!

Louisa: Me neither!

I'm so excited.

I'm making a cake!

I never make cakes.

Louisa: and even though I knew

They wouldn't be locked up forever,

Just for today I knew hal was safe and happy,

And so was I.

Debbie: Well, thanks so much for your bravery

In telling your story to us today, louisa.

Can I ask you one last thing?

Did you ever find out conclusively whose son he was?

Louisa: Yeah.

As a matter of fact, I did.

He's mine.
