Marissa?
It's Sarah.
Marissa?
Marissa?
Hello?
Marissa!
Wha... what are you doing here?
I... I was worried about you.
So you broke in?
Someone ransacked your house.
Not ransacked, just my house.
Oh. Oh.
Cleaning lady quit unexpectedly.
How many years ago?
Remember what I said about overstepping?
- I texted. - I was asleep.
I... I called a bunch.
Still asleep.
Gary wanted me to come get you since you were running late.
Apparently, there's a VIP client waiting in the office.
We don't have any VIP clients.
Some of our clients are barely even Ps.
It's Mom. Don't answer.
Too early for that.
Everything's OK, though, right?
Not particularly.
Garbage pick-up was at 6:00 a.m.
I was up late. It woke me up.
That beeping, the noise.
I sort of meant the, um, empty bottle.
Overstepping. Gotcha.
I'll wait in the car.
Marissa, Sarah, there you are finally.
- Where's the VIP? - Uh, waiting in your office.
Uh, before you go in,
- just keep an open mind. - Ah, dammit!
Their case is time sensitive,
so they've offered to pay time and a half.
Both know we need the money.
Just keep an open mind is all I ask.
Hi, I'm Marissa Wong. What can I do for you?
And you...
Ah, dammit!
You are late.
Apologies, Mother.
I called.
Was indisposed.
You know my good friend and client, Mrs. Li Ying Gei.
We've been waiting nearly an hour.
Her case is time sensitive!
Unfortunately, my docket is pretty full.
- Not according to Gary. - Dammit, Gary.
A terrible and unnatural thing has been happening at my tea shop.
Gonna need some more specificity.
Two days ago, part of my shop flooded.
Then today when I got to work,
everything was upturned like a tornado had blown through.
- Someone trashed the place? - Not someone, something.
A curse has been placed upon my tea shop.
Curse case? You brought me a curse case?
- And the issue is? - I'm not taking a curse case!
And the reason is?
- We are a detective agency. - Perfect!
A private detective is exactly what Mrs. Gei needs.
She needs more than that.
She already went to the temple to get her shop cleansed.
- It didn't work! - Shocking.
Now she needs someone to look into her curse for her.
Maybe I can recommend a different agency,
Mystery Inc. Shaggy and Scooby-Doo
are top-tier supernatural investigators.
- They always get their ghost. - Actually, in, uh, Scooby-Doo,
it's never really supernatural in the end.
- It's always a human behind it. - Not helping, Gary.
I already promised Mrs. Gei you'd take her case.
Don't embarrass me!
Uh, also, Marissa, just throwing it out there,
your mother has kindly offered to pay us time and a half, so...
Li Ying,
can you come out here a moment?
Can you clear my schedule for 4:00 so I can kill you?
Tell Marissa who cursed your shop.
Alfred Chen, my business rival.
He's had it out for me for years.
The curse is his way of trying to ruin me,
destroy my life's work.
Double time.
Pay me double time, and I'll do it.
Fine!
I'm excited. I'm very into the supernatural.
Of course you are.
My new driver, Sarah.
Well, I like to think that I'm a bit more than just a driver.
Well, we're all entitled to our thoughts.
OK.
What is with the bag?
Oh, just a bit of a personal paranormal survivor kit.
Rational.
Got my, uh, sage, my crystals,
wool throw that's been blessed to catch bad spirits.
Oh, and just in case,
I have 4 litres of holy water in the back.
Logical.
So, how exactly does one go about investigating a curse?
One doesn't. This investigation is about the flood and break-in.
But couldn't the flood, break-in and curse
- be one in the same? - They could not.
Li Ying's rival is sabotaging her. This isn't a curse!
Now we just need the evidence to prove it.
Looking for a Li Ying.
- You're the investigators? - Investigator, driver.
Figured. We haven't had a customer since the curse.
Wow, that's amazing!
Not the customer thing, the drawing.
It's super dark, but amazing.
You're so talented.
Oh, you're here.
And you've met my daughter, Candice.
So, no sign of forced entry.
Does anyone else have a key?
Uh, it's just Candice and I.
And, uh, any footage of the, uh, tornado?
Oh, it doesn't actually record.
It's just to scare away shoplifters.
Hmm, just keeps getting better.
Uh, Li Ying, do you know if there's any reason
why Alfred would place a curse on your shop?
- The man's crazy. - Aren't they all?
We got in a big fight in the middle of the complex last week.
Next thing you know, he's placing a curse.
"Death and misfortune will fall upon my place."
Everyone watch. People film. It was so embarrassing!
Forgetting the curse for a second,
what exactly was the fight about?
Alfred started selling pirated movies out of his store.
- Classy. - I contacted the authorities.
- Hmm, brought in the feds? - But only after he got aggressive
over our shared recycling bins!
So, a hefty fine later and he's willing to do
whatever it takes to get rid of you.
The filming of the freak-out,
- do you have any sort of... - Oh, got it,
I just searched, "Tea shop curse meltdown."
This is for you, Li Ying!
Misfortune will fall upon you!
I curse you! I curse you!
- It's a little on the nose. - The curse is now following
the five Lingfu Talisman placed on my shop:
flooding, destruction, mortal peril,
death and finally, fire!
It's a little anti-climatic, you know, after death.
Alfred curses people all the time.
But for whatever reason, this one's actually working.
We can only last so much longer
before I'll be forced to close and sell.
He's trying to kill my business,
maybe even me!
Right...
Well, I think I've got all I'm gonna get here.
Time to visit that rival of yours.
Welcome to Alfred Chen Electronics.
I'm the Alfred Chen.
- The curse guy. - Oh, big time!
Years of dealing with that woman,
and finally, the spirits are shining down on me.
But you know what's not cursed?
These sale prices.
- I recognize you. You're... - Yeah, I'm gonna stop you there.
I was hired by Li Ying.
- Exorcist? - Private investigator.
Wow, sucks to be you.
It does, but not for the reasons you're thinking.
Look, all signs point to you physically acting out the curse,
you trashed the shop,
you tried to make her think it's a curse to scare her.
Apologize, offer Li Ying restitution,
remove the curse,
and I won't make your life hell.
I'm married. My life is already hell.
And I didn't touch her shop!
Figured someone would come sniffing around.
Not my first curse rodeo.
When her shop, home of the worst cup of tea in the city,
flooded, I was right here.
Check the time stamp.
And, uh, last night, the break -in?
200 witnesses can attest
to me being at a charity event.
We'll be seeing each other again.
Remind Li Ying,
if she wants the curse lifted,
she knows what to do.
What did, "She knows what to do," mean?
What I intend to find out.
Li Ying?
Candice?
Candice!
Candice!
Candice?
Candice had a fall. She... she hurt herself pretty bad.
I didn't fall!
I was on the ladder, I felt a force.
Wait, somebody pushed you?
The curse, the next talisman is mortal peril.
The curse is ruining my shop.
And now... now it's come for my daughter!
Mom, just do what Alfred wants!
Please, just make the curse stop!
- What exactly does Alfred want? - I... I wish I knew.
What matters right now is you finding a way to stop this
before the curse destroys everything!
- OK, now you have to admit... - No.
- So, what then? You think that she... - Don't think that either.
Candice is just a klutz.
We are sort of Alfred's alibi this time, aren't we?
Something stinks about that guy.
- Yeah, very much. - And Li Ying knows more than she's letting on.
She knows what he wants.
Though I'm still very much on team,
"The curse is real,"
Alfred may have alibis for himself. But,
what if, possibly, he got these two to get their hands dirty for him?
I looked up the curse video again and found a longer version.
Look, hey, hey, Dad,
- curse it up, baby! - Whoo!
This is for you, Li Ying!
Misfortune will fall upon you!
- Curse it up! Curse it up! - I curse you!
I curse you!
Oh God, man, I love our dad so much!
What do you think?
I think we pay Tweedledee and Tweedledum-dumb a visit.
Assault, assault, aggravated assault,
theft, assault...
Is it just me, or do these two sound like...
- Like overachievers? - I was gonna say dangerous.
Like, maybe we shouldn't just go and knock on their door
- type of dangerous. - You'll be fine.
If things get hairy, just remember two things:
everyone's got a neck and a groin.
- Hello? Who's there? - It's the police.
We need access to the building.
Kevin and Jason Chen?
The hell you want?
- Where were you on the sixth? - And you are?
Getting paid to look into a flood and break-in
- at Li Ying's tea shop. - What? We didn't do that.
- Yeah, we were home on the sixth. - Playing video games.
And the night of the seventh
when you were smashing up the tea shop?
- Home. - Playing video games.
And what about earlier today?
Oh, it's funny, 'cause we were home all day.
- Let me guess, playing video games. - Watching TV.
Mmm, variety, spice of life!
Do you have anyone that can corroborate this?
Yeah, other than each other?
We, uh, we livestream our games.
- Oh, yeah! - Yeah, yeah!
Got almost 200 subs.
We archive all our livestreams on our channel, Super Gun Bros. Pow! Pow!
So, anyone who watched our livestream can vouch
that we were right here.
Besides, why are you investigating this anyways?
I mean, we all know all that stuff happened
'cause of our dad's curse, right?
Right...
OK, so, I combed through their livestreams,
and dates and times line up.
They were definitely home both days.
Figured.
I checked with the neighbours and all I got was:
"Those Neanderthals were home, blasting video games,
arguing about who clogged the toilet."
Et cetera, et cetera.
OK, so, I emailed one of my old professors,
and, apparently, something quite similar to this happened
in Africa nearly half a century ago.
- I think we should... - I'll tell you what now,
we go back to the strip mall, because A, it's not a curse, and B,
we need to do more digging around.
We're missing something.
So, I would have been better off asking your dog.
My call making turned up nothing.
No new leads, no new suspects.
Does that mean we're investigating the curse?
- It does not. - Well, in that case,
I spoke to some of the shop owners
and I uncovered a bit of a revelation.
You were supposed to get lunch.
Actually, Lucky Dim Sum wouldn't take our order
because they recognized your very particular lunch choice,
which is so intriguing, but I try not to pry.
Your revelation?
All the shop owners have Platinum Star Developments swag,
just like a hat I saw in the tea shop's garbage,
just like Alfred's Montblanc, the Rolls-Royce of pens.
- I sort of collect pens. - That's not at all surprising.
A real-estate developer has been trying
- to buy up the strip mall. - Interest finally piqued.
Been tossing around big numbers.
The only hiccup is...
- It's an all or nothing deal. - Exactly.
There's one holdout, Li Ying.
The reason Alfred cursed her.
Ruining his potential payday.
Yeah, Alfred places the curse, the developer sees it...
Acts on it, tries to scare Li Ying into selling!
If it's really not the curse,
it is definitely this guy.
Ryan Powers, what a stupid name.
And, apparently, Ryan went to visit Li Ying.
And last time, it got a little heated.
Know how many times I've called waste management?
- I'm guessing it's... - Rhetorical question.
- Of course. - City won't budge.
Refuses to alter anybody's garbage collection schedule.
6:00 a.m. on the dot every week.
Tried to force a route trade, nope!
Fancy neighbourhood keeps their humane pickup hour.
I had no idea you were so
passionate about waste management.
I'm passionate about being not loudly awoken at 6:00 a.m.
Where's my rich prick ensemble?
Under my bag of curse supplies, next to the holy water.
Not to overstep, but how do you afford all that Chanel?
Knockoffs. Careful not to expose them to your bare skin.
Mr. Powers.
Melissa, thank you for joining me.
- Dined here before? - No.
Fantastic.
Speaking of,
as I mentioned when you called,
I do have a fantastic investment opportunity for you.
A man that cuts right to the chase!
We are tearing down this dumpy, old strip mall,
building the ultimate shopping experience.
Technically, the deal hasn't finalized yet.
But soon!
And the good news is, because of the delay,
one of my investors had to drop out.
So you are lucking into the deal of a lifetime!
- No! - Uh, now, don't worry.
The deal will close, I will see to it.
I think I've heard enough.
I know what you're up to.
What am I up to?
I'm a PI. Li Ying's my client.
Ah, f-f...
I apologize for how I spoke to Li Ying.
I'm assuming that's why you're here.
But what I won't apologize for
is trying to make your client rich.
Turning that dump into a multimillion dollar complex
is great for her and her community.
And you're willing to do whatever it takes
to get it done...
...including terrorizing poor Li Ying into selling.
You're furious.
So you decided to scare her into selling
to avoid the curse.
- The curse? - So, are you working with Alfred?
Or are you taking advantage all on your own?
Do you know who I am?
I didn't think so.
So, you want to interfere
with my business?
I can do so much more than this.
Stay away.
- How'd it go? - Let's just call it a day.
Well, I see you've been out making friends again.
I think the curse may have attached itself to us.
In my research, I've read that that can happen.
Not the curse. This is not even real blood.
- Ugh! Ugh! - Ah!
Oh my God! Is it real?
Not real blood, just tastes real awful.
Look, this is food colouring and corn syrup.
This is not a spirit, this was Powers!
- Uh, who's Powers? - Ryan "Stay away" Powers,
real-estate developer who's trying to buy up
all the businesses in the strip mall.
Li Ying is his one holdout.
Yeah, he's staging this curse
to try and scare Li Ying into selling.
Yeah, or possibly, it's real!
- Possibly, nope. - And why would Powers target our office?
I had a little bit of an exchange yesterday.
So, you gave him a dose of Marissa charm, huh?
He wasn't happy with me interfering in his business.
A feeling I now understand well.
He doesn't crumble the way some of those other dudes do.
This is gonna be quite the clean -up.
Well, good news is,
is that thanks to our stubborn city,
our building's garbage pickup isn't until tomorrow PM,
- so plenty of time to fill those bins! - Still on about that, huh?
Marissa has memorized the waste collection cycle of the entire city.
Well, we need more info.
What do you want, Marissa?
- What? I can't come say hi to my former partner? - As if.
Look, I need a favour.
I had fun the other night.
I'm not here to reminisce, OK?
I need information. Ryan Powers?
Ryan Powers, known alias of Ryan Santorino.
- The accountant? - Mm-hmm.
Dead guy back there used to be his boss.
Used to 'cause he's dead, or used to 'cause Powers got out?
No longer affiliated.
Ugh, any known associates?
No, he's a lone wolf. But he's dangerous, all right?
- So don't go messing with this guy. - Yeah, noted.
Hey, why you want to know all this anyway?
What are you investigating?
Why you're not using that mouthwash I gave you.
That should be the real investigation.
Ugh!
Same suit as yesterday.
I know you don't want me overstepping...
...just to play it safe, I did some digging
and I found out some pretty sketchy stuff about Powers' company.
Here, check it out.
All the photos of the buildings they did,
I did a reverse image search, and they're all stock photos.
I also found out that Powers founded
two other companies this year, both dissolved,
both large settlements with creditors.
- So, Powers is broke? - Flat broke.
Literally has everything riding on this retail complex.
Makes him desperate.
Makes him dangerous.
No!
Aaah!
I'm guessing he lost another investor.
Well, he's definitely not the high roller
he wants people to think he is.
OK, let's go.
Hmm.
Ahoy.
Zip ties, more zip ties,
duct tape, rope, tarp...
a saw, a hammer
and a shovel.
- OK, maybe I'm jumping to conclusions... - Jump.
...everything he bought kind of seems like stuff
you'd need to kidnap, torture, murder or bury someone.
Or all four.
Keep your distance.
Looks like he's heading towards the strip mall.
Do you think Powers is going after Li Ying?
Why are you banned from Lucky Dim Sum?
Just in case Powers catches us,
and we get murdered and sawed up,
I prefer not to have any burning, unanswered questions.
My sister's birthday lunch last year,
it was at Lucky Dim Sum.
And my sister overstepped.
And instead of getting into it with her,
I got into my car to leave.
Technically, I was still on duty.
And I went to back up and I accidentally had my car in drive
and I smashed into the restaurant.
- Jeez, were you OK? - Yeah, everyone physically was fine.
I just had a couple of beers at lunch.
Wait, was that why you were fired from the police force?
I was strongly encouraged to spend more time with family.
My mom was so embarrassed
she didn't speak to me for a month so, you know,
there was an upside.
Wait, why is he turning off here?
OK, keep it slow.
Cool down and let's stay out of sight.
What's he doing?
Fixing a leaky roof, it would seem.
Wait, is he...
is he living in there?
Though tragic, not the tragic outcome I was expecting.
Oh, God, now I feel bad.
Here I'm thinking he was about to murder Li Ying.
This is somehow almost worse.
Powers isn't the criminal mastermind that we thought.
Powers didn't trash our office.
He ain't our guy.
Thanks so much, Jerry.
And, uh, say hi to your sister.
- Who was that? - We had a flood, sink in the kitchen.
No!
It's not Powers, it's not Alfred, it's a curse.
It's not a curse! There's always a reasonable explanation, OK?
The pipe under the sink has been leaking for weeks.
That would have been great to know earlier.
OK, why are you so dead set against this being a curse?
- All the clues are literally... - OK, enough! OK?
I don't need this, OK?
This case should have been solved long ago.
Look, you're never gonna be a real detective
if you don't get a grip on reality.
- May not even be my driver soon. - Hey,
let's not say anything we don't mean.
Let's call it a night, reconvene tomorrow, OK?
Yeah?
Sarah!
I left Candice alone for a minute.
When I came back, she was gone!
The death omen!
The curse has taken my daughter!
Right, um...
Have you tried her phone?
No answer.
She checked everywhere, nothing!
- And the police? - They sent an officer.
She wouldn't take Mrs. Gei seriously!
Did she tell them about the curse?
Well, there you go!
Excuse us.
Ow! Stop!
I hired you to put Mrs. Gei's mind at ease!
Her daughter is missing, potentially dead!
Mrs. Gei's now gotten it in her head
that sleeping in the shop with a weapon is somehow the answer!
That's how we "defeat" this thing.
OK, I'm guessing this is somehow my fault?
No, when is it ever your fault?
Not your fault at school
or your marriage or your drinking
- or your sister's... - OK! That is enough for examples.
- Thank you. - Enough!
This was supposed to be an easy case,
a redemption!
A way to stop being an embarrassment to our family!
It's like you enjoy being a pariah!
- Not allowed near Lucky Dim Sum! - OK, you know what?
I am going to find your friend's daughter.
And I am going to make sure she doesn't lose her tea shop.
Just let me do my job.
Hypothetically, if the curse hadn't taken Candice,
where might she be?
- Uh, I... I don't know. - Think, OK?
Is she with a friend?
No, Candice doesn't do that kind of stuff anymore.
Do what kind of stuff anymore?
Candice used to date this awful boy.
- Been there. - Terrible influence, criminal.
- Also been there. - All her sneaking around stopped
when I made Candice break up with her idiot boyfriend.
She hasn't run away since.
Who was her boyfriend?
Kevin Chen.
Kevin Chen, Alfred's son!
Man... Aaah!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa! - Where's Candice?
She's not here.
All right, time to tell the truth, boys.
Where is Candice?
I know that you were at the tea shop.
A toothpick? That's all you have?
That isn't anything!
Anybody can just buy a toothpick!
But not everyone chews one incessantly
without developing a personality like your brother does.
Kevin, we know you dated Candice.
OK, we were home, livestreaming gaming all day.
We couldn't have done anything to her if we wanted to.
Which we don't!
And what's your excuse for vandalizing our office?
Corn syrup and red food colouring.
I found them in the other room.
- It's everything you need to make... - Make fake blood.
Somebody is setting us up!
Uh, well, w-we got video proof that we were home.
'Cause h-how can we be at two places at once?
Look, um...
Th... this is us, today,
all nine hours of us livestreaming online.
How can we be elsewhere at the same time?
Look, I know we made mistakes in the past,
but we didn't act on the curse. I... I swear.
We control both of the markets here.
We print monopoly money.
Fast forward.
Oh, everything's black!
Here, he's here!
What did I tell you?
- Ah, goddamn! - Go back 10 seconds.
Oh, everything's black!
W-what?
That, my ineloquent friend,
is the sound of your garbage being collected,
a sound that is permanently burned into my sleep-addled brain.
Your recording wasn't recorded today.
Your garbage pickup for this neighbourhood
is Tuesday afternoons.
You prerecorded this yesterday,
which means you faked your alibi,
which means you vandalized my office,
which means you were there
when Candice was at the tea shop.
So, you tell me where Candice is
or bad things will happen to you.
Or bad things happen...
to you.
We're not going back to jail.
If things get hairy, just remember two things:
everyone's got a neck and a groin.
The neck and the groin, am I right?
Yeah, it worked!
Well, you're looking at serious jail time
if something happens to Candice.
Just tell me where she is.
Police it is, then.
No, no, no, wait, wait! Stop, please!
I would never hurt Candice. I love her.
Candice wanted me to vandalize your office.
- And why would Candice want that? - To scare you off
so you'd drop her mom's case.
The rest of our alibis were real, we swear.
Yeah, the vandalizing and... and the tea shop, that was it.
That's all we did.
We pretended to be home just those two times.
We faked those two livestreams
after we saw how our real alibi worked the first time.
Th... the whole reason we were
at the tea shop was to help Candice...
give her a ride. Not hurt her or... or kidnap her.
- Candice. - Candice is the one acting out the curse.
But why would Candice do this to her mom?
Candice's mom is super controlling.
- Whose isn't? - Candice is an awesome artist.
She got into art school.
- But her mom... - Won't let her go.
Li Ying thinks the business is the family future
and wants Candice to take over and run it.
They've been arguing about it for years.
But Li Ying won't give up.
And Candice is beaten down,
ready to give up on her dreams.
She's pushed to the edge.
She's desperate and willing to do whatever it takes
to get away from her mom, finally start her life.
- Wow, how did you... - To be able to...
It was a lucky guess.
I-if her mom makes a deal with the developer guy,
Candice can go to art school.
My dad's curse was her last chance.
If her mom thinks the shop is haunted,
she thought for sure she would sell.
Where is Candice now?
At some cheap motel.
I wanted to see her tonight, but she told me to stay away,
said I need an alibi from 10:00 to 11:00.
Wait, why would you need an alibi?
There's still one part of the curse left, the fire.
It's almost 10:00.
Li Ying's not picking up.
Candice has no idea she's about to burn her mom's shop down
with her mom still inside.
There's no way this ends well.
Oh my God!
What are you doing?
Your paranormal survival junk!
Sarah, take this!
Li Ying?
Li Ying?
Li Ying!
God, ugh!
Come on!
Li Ying!
You're OK. You're OK!
It's time to go, OK?
Come on. Come with me.
OK. OK.
Come on.
It's OK.
OK.
Stay.
Ooh!
Come on! Ugh!
We gotta get away.
Are you OK?
Are you hurt?
Oh!
I... I can't believe Candice actually went through with it!
Candice is the one behind the curse.
She's the one that started the fire.
I'm sorry. It's true.
Mom?
I didn't know my mom was inside, honest!
Look, she's not gonna tell the cops.
But you gotta talk to her eventually.
Why would you do this?
Mom, you would never listen to me.
So you had Alfred place a curse?
No, Alfred's just crazy and he did that all on his own.
But I saw how spooked you got.
I thought you would sell after the flood.
But even throwing myself off the ladder
- wouldn't change your mind. - I was protecting the shop for you.
All of this is for you.
- I don't want it. - Then what do you want?
To go to art school!
You're seeing that boy again!
He's making you run away.
No, Kevin was never a part of this!
And he was never the reason why I ran away, OK?
This... it's all me!
OK, look, um,
unless you want to end up in a low-rent retirement community
as payback for being a suffocating tiger mom
who killed all your daughter's dreams,
you might want to let Candice start living her life.
And, uh, your mom is old school, old world, you know?
She's got that constipated emotional thing going on.
She can't open up,
you know, but she'll cut you a plate of fruit.
And this tea shop is a giant plate
of perfectly peeled apple slices.
I guess.
Maybe I've been holding on a little tight.
You going back to school is not the worst idea in the world.
Maybe if you have a degree,
someone will pay you to scribble.
Show me the buyout offer again.
Maybe I was too quick to dismiss it.
We'll talk to Powers.
You think we can get more than he offered to Alfred Chen?
Yeah, so, about that real-estate guy,
he actually...
I love you, Mom.
It worked! It really all worked!
I'm sorry the spirits favoured me so well that it ruined your shop.
I'm... I'm glad you're OK.
Go make sure your store isn't damaged, moron.
And that's our cue.
You know, it's kind of funny.
If you stand back and you look at this whole thing holistically...
- Oh my God. - ...in a way, you could actually kind of say
that this whole thing really was a curse.
You could, but you shouldn't.
So, did any of that talk back there make you want
to rethink things with your own mom?
- It's Mom. Don't answer. - Oh my God!
- Now, if that isn't a sign! - It's Mom. Don't answer.
Signs are like curses.
You're coming around to them?
Don't believe in them.
OK...
Can I just say,
I think you not applying your own words
to your own relationship with your own mother
is kind of like if I were to...
Overstepping? Gotcha.
Next time on Wong and Winchester:
You have a new client in your office.
- What's her story? - Anxious bride to be.
- He's a police officer. - So, you're here on professional grounds?
Hired by your secret fiancé.
- Marissa? - I'm gonna kill him
and every woman he's ever touched.
Who would be desperate enough to sleep with that guy?
We should've went to yours.
The bottle service girl at the club you were at last night?
- Excuse me, do not push me! - That's not good.
Lisa was found dead in her condo this morning.
I'm not done talking to you yet!
