Original subtitles

What do you want?

I'll give you anything.

Please...

[screaming]

[music and general conversation]

I can't wait to see what comes next.

Well, thank you.

Hi. Sorry, I'm diana.

- Brandon. - So nice to meet you.

I'm so glad that you could come out, councilman.

I always appreciate your support.

Of course! You have done

So much for our city, dr. Brodeur.

I can't wait to see what comes next.

Thank you. I'm just getting started, though.

Cheers to that.

- Cheers. - [chuckles]

What can I get you?

A vodka soda, please.

- Yeah. - Thanks.

Elias: Hmm...

Uh, you'll have to excuse me, councilman.

Of course, doctor.

Thanks.

Dr. Brodeur.

Congratulations on tonight.

Um... Uh, thank you, um...

Chandler williams? From elite locum staffing?

I left you a couple of messages.

Uh... Yeah, no, of course, of course, yeah.

Nice to meet you. [chuckles]

I would love to speak with you further when you have a moment.

Yeah. Yeah, that would be fantastic.

Um... You can reach out to me directly or...

You can go through my assistant.

Great, thank you.

I look forward to it.

Likewise.

Oh, dr. Brodeur?

I wanted to introduce you to dr. Houston.

Doctor, thank you for your contributions.

- Yes. - Delgado: Diana?

Diana: Councilman, how are you?

You two know each other.

Delgado: Well, we're getting to know one another,

Aren't we, diana? - That's right, councilman.

Diana is one of our new business grantees.

Well... That must be very... Exciting for you.

Delgado: It is. We're thrilled. She... Is brilliant.

I bet she could teach you a thing or two. [chuckles]

[laughs] well, thank you, councilman, you are too kind.

But really, it's I who could learn something

From dr. Brodeur.

He's such a pillar in our community.

Delgado: You two know each other, then?

Yeah... Yeah, we go... Back a bit, don't we, diana?

Yes. Yes.

I have always looked up to you and your work, dr. Brodeur.

[chuckles] it's been a minute, though, hasn't it?

Yes, it has.

Yeah, I mean, I didn't even know that you were back in town.

Well, there was no reason for you to know.

- Right. - Wonderful you can reconnect.

I imagine there's plenty of crossover in your work.

Perhaps.

Now, if you'll excuse me, please.

[door shuts in distance]

[door alert honks]

[sighing]

Jenny, you have to believe me.

I believe you, diana, but the evidence says otherwise.

The insurance company traced all of the codes back to you.

But... I didn't... Add the codes in a vacuum.

They were based on what he told me,

What he said his services rendered were.

But there are over a million dollars in charges.

But how can that be?

I saw patients too, and I never up-billed anyone.

Still, he's set up his practice

So he's sheltered from any billing liability.

What?

Why? How?

- [chuckles] - elias.

You surprised me.

Well, we're even now.

I mean, I... I didn't even know that you were out.

It's late, I should get going.

Yeah, I mean, you should have called, you know?

At least let me know that you were coming to town.

I... Decided at the last minute.

Well, you know, would have been nice to get a warning.

I don't need to explain myself to you.

Well, you better steer very clear...

Of me... And my work.

Okay?

This is not about you.

Or us, for that matter.

I have put our past behind me, and I am moving forward.

Everything that happened between us is completely forgotten.

You may have put me in prison...

Hey, that was not the intention.

...But you do not get to take away my future.

You always were a very hard worker, diana.

Glad you could acknowledge that.

How's cindy, by the way?

She didn't make it out?

Uh, no, actually, we're not, uh, we're not together anymore.

Oh. [chuckles] you got bored?

No. She left me. [chuckles]

Yeah, she went to europe for her art.

Interesting.

Yeah, I know, I, um...

I thought we had something real.

Oh, well... Live and learn, I guess, huh?

Look, I, uh...

I want you to know that...

I regret what I put you through... In our marriage.

You didn't deserve that.

Like I said...

I've moved on.

But I appreciate that.

Well, all I can say is...

Be careful, diana.

It's good to see you.

Jenny: The insurance company

Has cleared elias of any wrongdoing.

He denies any knowledge of what happened.

You have to understand.

Elias is going after me because I asked for a divorce.

I hear you, diana.

But there's no way to prove any of what you're saying.

[screams]

[scream echoes]

[inhales sharply, starts car]

[camera shutter clicking]

[camera shutter clicking]

[camera shutter clicking]

Elias: Currently our staffing needs are well taken care of.

Well, we wanna do more than just take care of your staffing.

We wanna make sure that your people are happy

And that they're staying with you for the long haul.

Doesn't seem like anybody's staying anywhere

For the long haul these days, especially not in our field.

But with the right work climate, it can encourage longevity...

And ultimately promotes your overall success,

And the bottom line.

Interesting.

So... How can you all help with that?

[chuckles]

Well, I can't give away all of our secrets. [chuckles]

- [chuckling] - but, seriously,

Our company has a way of creating a sense of community

That other companies just... Don't. [chuckles]

Here, take a look at some of our client testimonials.

[sighs]

You know...

I get at least three pitches a week like this

From companies like yours.

Interesting.

You've never worked with a company like ours before.

No.

We sure haven't, sweetheart.

We believe that interpersonal connection

Is the absolute key to success.

We want to help you make that happen.

Well, I guess there's no harm

In hearing a little bit more about it.

[chuckles]

Why don't we discuss more possibilities over lunch?

Tomorrow. My treat.

Ooh, I'm always interested in possibilities.

Great.

I'll see you then.

Hi. I, I didn't mean to scare you.

We can't be seen together, diana, we agreed.

I know, I'm sorry, I just... I had to see you.

How did it go?

Felt like a piece of meat the entire time.

He is an ass, diana.

But we got this.

Should be pretty simple.

Yeah... It seems that way, but...

He is a conniving bastard.

Can get real dark real fast.

Mm-hmm...

I guess we need to be careful with all of our snooping.

[buzzer, gate slams]

Chandler: Mind if I sit?

Go ahead.

You're new, yeah?

Yeah.

I hear you're in here for something you didn't do,

Just like everyone else.

You don't know me or my story,

So maybe you should just back off.

Hey, I... I didn't say that I did.

I was just trying to make conversation.

Well, it's really not a great conversation starter.

All right.

Sorry.

Let's start over.

I'm chandler.

How's it going?

I didn't do it.

And I'm angry.

Really angry.

Especially at the asshole who put me in here.

Then we're in the same boat.

Right.

Really, though.

You're in here doing time for something you didn't do.

I'm in here doing time for something...

Let's be honest, I did do.

[diana chuckles]

But... We're both in here for one reason, the only reason.

It's because of a man.

So... I already started calling some of his old patients,

And at least two of them definitely remember

Getting billed for stuff they didn't get.

- Nice. - Yeah.

But I think it's just the tip of the iceberg.

If we can get a bigger list...

This is not gonna be easy, diana.

Still, I have to try.

I'll never live with myself if I just let it go. Never.

But don't let this ruin all the good things

That you have going for yourself.

I won't.

How was it, seeing him?

Awful.

And the worst part was he tried to make

Some, like, vague apology

For being so abusive during our marriage.

Oh, my god.

Yeah.

And all the cheating and violence...

Apparently, after all his lies,

Cindy left him to go to europe.

- Are you serious? - That's what he said.

She's probably rotting in a jail somewhere.

Especially if she tried to break up with him.

- [scoffs] - [chuckles]

[sighs]

Hey, hang in there, girl.

You will see your day in the light.

I hope so.

[camera shutter clicking]

[rattling handle]

[beeping, tone]

[beeping, tone, rattling handle]

Damn it.

[diana chuckles]

[chuckles]

I don't know why they can't just use regular keys.

I hate these electronic things.

You have to press the pound key after you enter your code.

[beeping, tone, rattling handle]

Can I help you?

Yes.

Please.

- Enter your code. - Uh-huh.

[beeping]

Now give it a second and maybe...

- [clicking] - voila.

Oh...

- Thank you. - Mm-hmm.

I'm jeffrey.

Diana.

I don't think I've seen you around here before.

I just moved in.

I'm here for business for a few weeks,

And, uh, subletting the place.

You know, I've lived here for two years

And you are the first resident I have ever spoken to.

[chuckles] funny how that is, right?

Do you normally work this late?

Yes. [chuckles]

Yes?

I, um, am hardly ever here, to be honest...

But it's nice to meet a neighbor.

Oh. Likewise.

You, you wanna come in for a drink?

It's the least I can do

As a thank you for letting me into this...

Fortress.

I'm sorry, it, it's been a long day.

No worries.

Maybe another time, then?

- I'd like that. - Okay.

Why don't I... Give you my number?

Just... Give me a call whenever you have time.

What if you're busy?

I won't be.

Okay?

Elias: Well, I think you're gonna enjoy this.

It's one of my favorite restaurants.

- Are you here often? - I do, I come here a lot.

[both chuckle]

Uh, so, tell me, chandler, um...

How long have you been with the agency?

I moved back to the city about a year ago.

I used to work in marketing,

So when this opportunity came up,

It just seemed like a good fit.

I can see that.

Marketing. You, um...

Are well-equipped for that. [chuckles]

It's worked well.

Thank you.

- Well, I'm glad. - Mm.

[sniffing]

Mmm...

This is perfection.

You need to try this.

This is one of the great premier crus.

Mmm.

That is really good.

[both chuckle]

So, yeah, I joined elite because, well,

They really do things differently.

Tell me about them.

What makes them so different?

I was actually thinking that I could spend the next hour

Talking you through all of the advantages of working with us.

Really? And here I am, starting to enjoy our lunch so much.

[laughs]

Okay, I hear you

On, you know, how boring that could be.

I have an idea.

Okay. I'm listening.

What if we provide our services for a trial period?

- Hmm. - That way, you can see

What it's like to work with us.

Well, that's interesting.

- Bon appétit. - Chandler: Thank you.

It would be free of charge, of course.

Free. That's even more interesting.

[chandler chuckles]

You know, I have to say...

You are very persuasive, chandler.

I think you will appreciate what we can bring to the table.

Maybe.

Maybe, but isn't it, um...

Isn't it about the individual? The person?

It's, uh... The personal touch, as you mentioned.

[both chuckle]

Sure.

I agree.

How about this?

How about I come to the office, see how you operate,

And then I can create a proposal to fit your exact needs?

I love that idea.

I'd love for you to learn how I operate.

I think...

The more time we spend together, the better this is gonna be...

For both of us.

[both chuckling]

Great, I can start tomorrow.

Shall we say 10 a.M.?

10 a.M.'s wonderful. [chuckles]

Great.

- Bon appétit. - Mm.

Mmm...

It's delicious.

I wonder what's for dessert today?

[chuckles]

Elias: Well, I'm so glad

We got to spend a little bit of time together.

I am too, I had fun. It was delicious.

Well, we'll be in touch for sure.

Oh, come on, I'm a hugger.

Oh, okay.

[laughing]

Yeah, we're gonna definitely have to do

Some more of these lunches, chandler.

Yeah. Yeah, we will, we will, for sure.

Okay.

Okay. [chuckles]

Bye. - Bye.

[door alert honks]

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. Just more of the same.

He can't keep his hands to himself.

Just call me if it ever gets to be too much.

It's nothing I can't handle.

His name was danny.

He was my boss, and I was up for a promotion at work.

Vice president of marketing.

Danny said he could swing it for me

If I did certain things for him.

- I've heard that before. - Yeah.

I said no, of course, but I was pretty much out after that.

He completely ruined my reputation.

I couldn't find shit for work.

Damn.

That's, that's terrible.

Yeah... So I did what I had to to get by, you know?

Got into some sketchy stuff.

Did a little boosting.

Was actually pretty good at it.

I made some good money, too, you know?

Until I got caught. [chuckles]

You said "was."

His name was danny?

Yeah. Shady dude.

Fell off a roof.

Ruled a suicide.

We'll see how tomorrow goes.

Good luck.

You'll be fine.

Thanks, diana.

[camera shutter clicking]

[elevator bell dings]

[diana gasps]

Huh. Fancy seeing you here.

What are you doing here?

Well, I must not have made myself clear the other night.

About what?

This... This is my town.

Oh... I think you did.

Oh, I don't think I did.

Because you're still here.

Stop it.

What do you want? Huh?

You want money? How much?

How much to make you just disappear?

I don't want your money.

And I'm not going anywhere.

I have a life now without you,

And if that bothers you... I can't help that.

I don't know why you're here,

And I don't know what you're up to, but I don't like it.

I don't care what you think.

And you're in my way.

[camera shutter clicking]

Elias: Just remember...

I'm bulletproof...

And you're not.

Are you threatening me?

Take it any way you want, sweetheart.

[camera shutter clicking]

[camera shutter clicking]

[door creaking]

[gasps]

[gasps]

[door creaking, knock]

S-sorry, didn't mean to scare you.

I saw your door was open.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Did I miss a birthday?

No... No, nothing like that.

I, I think it's from my ex.

I think he's trying to play a joke on me,

And... Not a very good one.

Does he have a thing for nurses?

I used to be one, when we were married.

He was a doctor.

A little cliché, I know.

Did you give him your door code?

No. [scoffs]

No, I didn't.

But he might have guessed it.

Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

Maybe it's time for that drink?

Good idea.

Yes.

- Yes. - [chuckles]

- Let's go. - Okay.

- First round's on me. - [chuckles]

Jeffrey: ...And so the owner says,

"a five-year-old could figure out how to work the keypad,

So why don't you just leave the door unlocked?"

Mm-hmm. [chuckles]

Mm... He's not wrong.

Like, I'm just hopeless with things like that.

I can barely use my phone.

- [chuckles] - oh, god,

I sound like my grandfather, don't I?

No, no, not at all, but, um, I mean, maybe you should...

Hire a five-year-old to look after you?

- [clicks tongue] - [both chuckle]

So... What brought you to the city?

You said you were here on business?

Not really business.

Uh... Doing a favor for a friend.

Sounds intriguing.

Anything but, actually.

Why is that?

I'll tell you, but if you get bored,

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Go on.

I'm an accountant.

Riveting.

[both chuckle]

- Ha-ha. Okay, good. - [laughs]

Anyway, uh... It's for an old friend of mine.

Family relative passed.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Yeah, well, um... Thank you, but...

The estate was left in a bit of a mess,

And I'm helping him tie a few things up.

Like a detective.

Not that glamorous.

Mainly involves going through dusty, old records at city hall.

Did you find anything?

Not yet.

Give it a few more days,

And then, uh... I'll probably head back.

Unless, of course... I have another reason to stay.

I wonder what that reason could be.

[diana chuckles]

[elevator bell dings]

[both panting and moaning]

Your place or mine?

Doesn't matter.

[birds chirping]

[message alert]

Hi, tiffany.

I'm back.

So you are.

Can you let dr. Brodeur know that I'm here?

Chandler.

So glad to see you.

Tiffany... Can you set chandler up in that spare office, please?

Of course I can, dr. Brodeur.

Also, your 10:00 is here.

Elias: You see?

I would be so lost without this woman.

[chandler and elias chuckle]

I'll come see you in a little bit.

Okay.

Right this way.

[knocks]

Hey.

So... Have you figured it out yet?

How you're gonna save me even more money?

[chuckles] yeah.

I'm setting up your plan for world domination. [chuckles]

- That's what I like to hear. - [chuckles]

I've been looking at the big picture.

You know, like retention rates, staffing cycles.

I have some good insights for you.

Good. Good.

You know...

I really enjoyed our lunch yesterday.

Yeah. Yeah, it was fun.

Yeah, I was thinking we should do it again sometime.

But my schedule is so jammed, you know?

We should do dinner instead.

I know.

How about you come on up to my lake house?

Then we can talk about your proposal properly.

How about it?

Sure.

Um... But I do have more work that I need to do here.

Oh, that's fine.

We can at least get the conversation started.

You just let me know when.

I won't take no for an answer.

[sighs]

[knock at door]

Hey, um, I'm gonna be locking up.

Was there anything else you needed?

Oh, wow, no, the day just flew by so fast.

I'm actually gonna leave with you.

I'm happy to show you how to lock up if you do wanna stay.

No, no, no, no, I actually need to get going.

Um, but I do have a quick question for you.

Sure.

I am trying to find patient records

Further back than just three years,

But they're not in the system.

Oh, right.

Our system is still pretty new.

We're digitizing a lot of the old records.

I see.

We do have paper records that go all the way back

To when dr. Brodeur opened his first clinic.

Only a few of those are in the office, though.

Is there an off-site file system or something?

No, dr. Brodeur keeps all of our old records

In storage at his house.

I'm sure he'll bring you anything you might need.

Great, I'll ask him in the morning, thank you.

Oh, tiffany, um, one more question.

How is it for you, working with dr. Brodeur?

It, it's fine, why?

I was just curious.

Um... He actually invited me to his house to pitch my proposal.

Is that normal for him?

I, I mean, he certainly... Likes the ladies.

But I'm fine with him.

I think he's a good boss, he pays well,

And he hasn't crossed that line with me yet.

[scoffs] yet.

[tiffany laughs]

Chandler: So...

All of the old files are at his house.

- Damn it. - Yeah, I know.

I was thinking maybe I could just casually ask him

For a couple of years back.

No. No, it's too risky.

I know, but unless we go around him, we have no other choice.

Elias came to my apartment last night.

- What? - Yeah.

He threatened me.

I think he broke in.

- Diana, that's terrifying. - I know.

He's doing what he did when we first separated.

Like showing up randomly,

Following me around, trying to control me.

Maybe you should file a police report, have it documented.

- The police won't give a damn. - Yeah, I know,

But as a paper trail.

And that can help us with our case against him.

I'm not ready to rock the boat.

I understand.

You know...

Last night, I felt...

- What? - I felt like...

Like I did at the end of our marriage.

How was that?

Like I feared for my life.

Diana, you've...

You've never told me that before.

I know, I'm... I don't like talking about it, but, look...

We don't know what elias is capable of,

And I don't want to put you at any kind of risk.

Well...

He did invite me to the house.

Of course he did.

This is the perfect opportunity to look at those files.

And you're okay with that?

Yeah.

Yeah, I am.

Well...

I might have an idea.

Um...

Can we talk later?

I have to go meet, um...

- Ah. - [chuckles]

- Jeffrey. - Yeah.

[both laugh]

Yeah, you can't keep him waiting, can you? [laughs]

He seems like a nice guy.

He is.

Yeah, I could use a boring accountant in my life right now.

- Mm. - And...

He's not... That boring.

Good for you.

[both laugh]

- Okay. - [laughs]

- Bye... - All right.

[car door shuts]

Diana: The best thing we can do in here

Is set goals... Focus on the future.

Yeah, but I don't know what I wanna do yet. You?

I wanna start a business.

A medical staffing agency.

Look, it'll be hard work,

But there are some development grants I can apply for

Through different state funds.

That's exciting.

I want you to come in with me.

Me?

I don't know anything about nursing or the medical field.

But you know about marketing.

That's what I need. A public face.

I... Need to stay in the background,

Since I... Have a felony on my record.

But what about elias?

You're bound to cross paths eventually.

Another reason I need to stay in the background.

Yeah, I, I can help with the business stuff.

And... Other things... If that's what you're looking for.

I am... But only if you want to.

Yeah.

Men like elias need to be brought down.

I agree.

I have to try.

Hey... If you can run a successful business

And take down elias, that's a win-win.

[diana chuckles]

[chuckles]

...So if you can locate those files for me,

That would be super helpful.

Yeah, that's not a problem.

Good morning, ladies.

Good morning, dr. Brodeur.

I put some messages on your desk.

Thank you, tiffany.

Chandler, how's it going?

Good. I should be able to show you some things today.

Wonderful, wonderful.

I'm tied up in meetings all day,

But later, up at the house, perhaps,

Like we discussed?

Sounds good.

- Let's say 7:00. - Okay.

[message alert]

Address sent.

What?

Good luck not crossing that line.

Make sure to use all of it,

And keep him occupied for five minutes while it kicks in.

I can do that.

I'll be outside,

So if anything goes wrong, just call me,

Or... Scream.

I'll be there.

Nothing will happen.

[birds chirping and squawking]

[doorbell rings]

Right on time.

Never keep the client waiting.

- I like that about you. - [chuckles]

Wow, nice place.

Thank you. Yeah, I like it.

I got it a few years ago, before the market went crazy.

It's probably worth a fortune now.

[chuckles] I bet.

Uh, come on, we'll go out here to the, uh, sun room.

Okay.

I have a little surprise.

I, um, got a bottle of that wine that you liked so much.

- Oh. - [both chuckle]

- Thank you. - Of course.

Um, perhaps we should focus on the proposal for now?

Come on now, we work, uh...

We work very hard, don't we?

We deserve to have a little bit of fun.

[chandler chuckles nervously]

[elias clears his throat]

Cheers.

[glasses clink]

Cheers.

Mmm.

So... I actually have something here,

And I wanted to do a bit more research

On your patient experience, um,

Especially your... Longstanding clients.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Tiffany said that you had some of the older patient files

Here at the house.

[chuckles] yeah, I, I do.

I have, I have all of 'em.

In the spare room.

Good to know. [chuckles]

Well, here, why don't you see what I have so far?

I'm just gonna... I'm just gonna stop you right there now.

I'm just gonna come out and say it.

I like you.

I like how you work.

You got the contract. [chuckling]

- Really? - Yes.

- Oh... I do? - Yes, you do.

- Oh. - Let's do what you propose.

Let's do a three-month trial period.

See how it goes.

Okay. Great.

I'll get started on the paperwork.

- Fantastic. - [chuckles]

Mmm...

Mmm... Actually, do you have something to snack on?

I didn't eat much today.

Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

I'll, um... Throw something together.

Well... It's the best I could do under...

- [chuckles] - ...Such short notice.

Uh... [chuckles]

[chandler chuckles]

Well, I, I think we should make an official toast.

To a long... And fruitful business relationship

Between you and I.

- Hmm. - [glasses clink]

- Mmm... So good. - Mm.

And thank you.

It really means a lot.

- I bet it does. - Mm.

You are, um...

Very beautiful.

And very smart.

- Mm. - I know why you're here.

You do?

Our connection.

- Oh. [chuckling] - it's powerful. [chuckles]

- I feel it. - Oh...

- I think you do too. - [chuckles] mm.

[both moaning]

- Come with me. - Oh. [chuckles]

[whispering passionately]

Ooh! [chuckles]

- Yeah... - [moaning softly]

[whispering and moaning]

[elias murmuring]

- Hey. - Hey.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm here.

I made it.

This place gives me the creeps.

Hey... We got this.

Yeah. Okay.

Did you give him the whole bottle?

All of it.

Okay, good. Then we have time.

He said they're in the... Spare bedroom?

I know where that is.

[knob rattling]

Damn it, it's locked.

Do you see them?

Nothing.

[sighs]

I'll go.

[sighs]

[breathing heavily]

Oh, man.

I know.

- This is gonna be tough. - I know.

Patient records. I'm gonna get what I can.

[camera shutter clicking]

[drawer rattling loudly]

- Damn it! [bangs cabinet] - just do another one.

[grunts]

- No. - [sighs]

[grunting]

[gasping softly]

- Cindy's art show. - That's random.

Yeah.

Diana, it's not helpful.

Uh, yeah, sorry, I...

[groaning softly]

Chandler: What is it?

Cindy's passport.

[panting]

What?

Yeah, but... Elias said she left the country.

You lowlife bitches.

It, it's not what it looks like, elias.

Oh, yeah? Yeah?

Then what is it, diana, huh?

What is it? Tell me.

Huh?

And you.

I expect this from her, but you?

I know how it looks.

You two... What's the point?

What's the point?

You're never gonna prove anything, all right?

You could search all the patient records in the world.

You're never gonna find anything.

Look, I, I, I'm just trying to find a way

To get my nursing license back, that's it.

Ha!

That ain't gonna happen, diana.

Ain't gonna happen.

And this, this charade?

Look, okay, fine, I'm sorry.

We'll just... We'll go.

Just tell me what you want.

I want... I want you to disappear, diana.

[snaps fingers] just like that.

Never come back again.

Like cindy?

I told you.

I told you, cindy... Cindy went to europe.

She went to europe to study art.

I don't know, I don't know what...

Kind of lies that she's been telling you about me,

But I, I'm nothing like what she said.

I know what you are.

[elias chuckles]

All right, then.

I know what I'll do.

I'm just gonna call the police.

Huh? How about that, yeah?

A little breaking and entering, you know,

A little drugging somebody.

With your two criminal records, that should be...

That should be a lot of fun for you.

[snickers]

Yeah, that's right, I looked you up, chandler, turns out...

[singsong, mocking] ♪ you have a criminal record too... ♪

If I report this... You two, you guys go back inside.

That'd be fun, wouldn't it?

[sighs]

But I'm just a little tired,

And I don't feel like dealing with it.

So here's the deal.

[clears throat]

You two... Get out of my life.

You get out of my life and you never come back.

You leave town... I don't care where you go.

You just get out of my city.

And you got 24 hours.

And then I never... Hear from you two again.

Understood?

Huh?

Fine.

You win, elias.

[chuckling] yeah.

Yeah, I win.

That's right.

And don't forget it, sweetheart.

I always win.

Now get the hell out of my house.

Now.

I don't know what happened...

But we're gonna figure it out.

Be careful.

You too.

[car doors shut, engines start]

[breathing heavily]

[exhales sharply]

[sighs]

[sighs]

- [gasps] - shh...

[snickers, muffles diana]

Good morning.

Don't wanna wake the neighbors, do we?

[muffled cries]

[elias grunting]

Get the hell out of here!

How did you even get in?

You dumb bitch.

Same passcode? After all these years, really?

Get out.

Fine.

I got what I wanted.

[sighs] really?

You think I'm gonna leave without it?

You have no shame, do you?

Not really.

Where is cindy?

What did you do to her?

Well, that's none of your goddamn business.

I told you, diana, I told you not to come here,

But you didn't listen, did you?

What you did to me was disgusting.

Think I was just gonna walk away?

Yeah, actually, I did.

Because you have always been such a weak, meek little woman.

[elias grunts, diana gasps, cries out]

Looks like prison did toughen you up a little bit.

Get... The hell... Off me!

[elias grunting]

[panting]

Huh... That's right.

You did always like it rough.

Leave me alone.

We're just getting started.

- [loud knock at door] - jeffrey: Diana!

Everything all right? I heard shouting.

Elias was just leaving.

- Who the hell is this? - Jeffrey.

Jeffrey? What, what, is he the new boyfriend, huh?

A neighbor.

[scoffing] yeah... Neighbor.

Well, don't get any ideas, pal, 'cause this is my wife.

- Ex-wife, asshole. - Whatever.

Listen... This is between she and I, all right?

Doesn't concern you, so you should probably go.

Looks like you're the one who needs to go.

We are finished here, elias. Get out.

Oh, yeah?

You gonna make me?

Hey, man...

Just do as she says.

Go.

And the passport?

Now.

This is gonna be the end for you, diana.

[sniffling]

Thank you.

Can I see that?

There's something I need to tell you.

Cindy's art.

This is her?

Yes.

So... Are you gonna tell me what you're really up to?

What are you, a cop?

Private investigator.

I've been hired to find out what happened to cindy.

And... You've been investigating elias.

He's a person of interest, yes.

And am... I a person of interest?

Not anymore.

No.

I cleared you.

Cleared me?

You were in prison when cindy disappeared.

So you've been spying on me.

- No, not exactly. - Not exactly.

What does that even mean?

Were you ever gonna tell me the truth?

I ruled you out long ago, so there really was never a need.

But our, our relationship.

I mean, was it ever real or were you just using me?

It was completely real, diana.

It was unexpected, but...

God, you're all the same.

- [sighs] no, diana. - Look, I, I, I don't even know

If I can believe anything that you say now.

- Come on, diana. - You lied.

The truth was complicated,

And I didn't want to put you in danger.

I was already in danger.

See, you never told me that.

I don't know exactly what happened with you and elias.

It's complicated.

We were... Married, we had a messy divorce,

And he did some... Very shady things

That really put me in jeopardy.

I figured. I'm sorry.

I just... Wanna expose him for who he really is, so...

Anything you can tell me about cindy would really help.

[jeffrey sighs]

I was hired by her father.

They used to speak regularly, but then the calls stopped.

The father got in touch with the police here.

He knew that cindy was living with elias,

And they spoke to him,

And he showed them a text from cindy

Saying that she had decided to leave him and go to europe.

And that was that.

The police lost interest.

So what changed?

Her father just wouldn't leave it alone.

He knew something was wrong.

It took a while and a bunch of court orders, but...

He got his hands on cindy's phone records.

The text to elias wasn't sent from europe.

It was sent from here in the city.

So she never left.

There's a million possible explanations, but...

Yeah, that was the thinking.

And you were hired to investigate.

Yes. And that meant I had to look into anyone

Associated with cindy.

Elias, obviously...

And you.

I didn't know anything about you,

But it was obvious to me from the start

That you couldn't be involved.

Does the passport help?
