A Date with Deception (2023) Movie Script
1
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 apptit.
- 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 apptit.
- 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 clich, 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?
It's another piece
of the puzzle, but...
It just doesn't do
anything by itself.
I figured.
It's unfortunate.
Look, diana...
It's clear that elias
had something to do
With cindy disappearing,
But there is no hard proof,
Nothing to take to the police.
So that's it?
Short of a confession or
a body, yeah, I'd say so.
So there's... Nothing
you can do to help here?
Don't say it like that.
But it's true, isn't it?
What about us?
I don't know... Jeffrey.
[sighs]
[sighing tearfully]
[sobbing]
[click]
Chandler: And you were a
regular patient of dr. Brodeur?
Man: Yes.
Chandler: When did you start
noticing the extra charges?
Well, I started getting
these x-ray charges,
And the first time,
I thought it was my
mistake, so I paid it.
But then it kept happening,
so I called the office,
And I called the insurance,
Left messages and
never heard back.
It was a nightmare.
What?
Your 3:00 is here.
Just... Cancel my
whole day, okay? All of it.
That's it.
[elias sighing]
[door closes]
This ends now.
[message alert]
[sighs]
[creaking in hallway]
[sighs]
The insurance company has
cleared elias of any wrongdoing.
He denies any knowledge
of what happened.
Well, you better
steer very clear.
You have to understand,
Elias is going after me
because I asked for a divorce.
I must not have made
myself clear the other night.
This... This is my town.
Leave me alone.
We're just getting started.
Jenny: I hear you, diana,
But if this goes to trial
And you are found
guilty, which you will be,
You are looking at
thousands of dollars in fines
And serious jail time.
You're never gonna
find anything...
'cause I'm bulletproof.
Diana: Cindy's passport.
Jeffrey: Her father just
wouldn't leave it alone.
He knew something was wrong.
Shh... [snickers, muffles diana]
Where is cindy?
What did you do to her?
Well, that's none of
your goddamn business.
Men like elias need
to be brought down.
You may have put me in prison...
Hey, that was not the intention.
...But you do not get
to take away my future.
Jenny, I would never, ever
do anything like this. Never.
But there's no way to prove
any of what you're saying.
I can. I can.
Call jeffrey stevens.
[call ringing through]
Diana.
I'm going to see elias.
Diana, don't do
anything irrational.
I listened to what you said.
You need a confession,
I'm gonna get you one.
I know I can.
That's impossible.
Just let it go.
It's too dangerous.
I just can't, jeffrey.
Elias needs to be exposed.
I can't let him
get away with this.
At least do one thing.
Just wait until I
get there. Please.
I won't wait forever.
[jeffrey grunts]
Who's the tough guy now, huh?
[elias panting]
Okay...
Yeah, uh...
[choking]
[car horn beeps]
Okay... Let's see
who you are, jeffrey.
Shit.
[voices in distance]
In you go, in you go.
[elias grunting]
Yeah, there you go.
[breathing heavily]
[birds squawking]
[sighs]
Where are you?
[door alert honks]
[call ringing through]
[cell phone ringtone,
jeffrey groaning]
Jeffrey, elias is here.
I can't wait much longer.
Where are you?
[gasping and groaning]
What in the...?
[groaning]
What the hell happened?
[call ringing through]
[cell phone ringtone]
Oh, shit, my... Oh, my gun.
Damn it.
Please, please, please.
Diana...
[phone beeps]
Where are you?
I'm on my way.
Look, chandler just showed up.
I think she just
went into the house.
I... I don't know
what's happening.
Is elias there?
Yeah, he came earlier.
I'm on my way.
Stay where you are.
Whatever happens,
Don't go into the house.
Just get here.
[breathing heavily]
Chandler: Diana?
Diana, are you
here? I got your text.
Diana?
[chandler gasps, both
grunting and struggling]
Oh, I'm so glad you
got my text, chandler.
[elias grunts]
[chandler panting]
Oh... Whew.
You're a feisty one.
- Elias...
- I think we should finish
What we started
the other day, huh?
Oh, you son of a bitch!
[both grunting and struggling]
[elias shouts, chandler screams]
Aah! God!
You got me good.
Whew... You gonna
behave yourself now, huh?
Fine. What do you want?
I don't wanna
get in a fistfight.
I wanna know what you know.
I wanna know
what you... Diana...
And her stupid boyfriend know.
And then will you let me go?
[breathing heavily]
What do you think?
I think you're a psycho.
Yeah?
I'm just trying to
protect what's mine.
But then people like you keep
trying to take it away from me.
People like me.
Do you mean women?
Sure.
You.
Diana.
Cindy.
You're all the same.
I don't want anything
from you, elias.
Good.
Then answer my question.
Screw you.
I gave you a chance.
[gunshot]
[gasps]
No!
I heard a gunshot.
What? Are you all right?
I'm okay, but
chandler's in the house.
I'm going in.
No, wait for me! I'm not far!
I can't.
Chandler's in danger.
[panting]
Shit...
[chandler moaning]
[diana gasps]
Chandler! No!
Chandler...
Chandler, it's diana.
Can you hear me?
Oh, god, this is my fault.
No, no, don't move, don't move.
I'm gonna call an ambulance.
Elias: Don't... Do that.
Elias.
She's in shock.
Lost a lot of blood.
She might die.
Too bad there's not a doctor
around here to take care of her.
What do you want?
What do I want?
What do I want? What
do you want, huh?
Why are you here?
I thought we could
work things out.
You thought we
could work things out.
Did you now?
I think it's a little late
for that, don't you?
Do you have the passport?
No.
I put it somewhere safe.
That's too bad.
[diana grunts]
[groaning]
Chandler...
Oh...
Ah-ah-ah!
Just stay right there.
Okay, sweetheart?
Where were we?
Oh, yeah, uh...
You were about to tell
me where the passport is.
I gave it to jeffrey.
That's the wrong answer.
Have you lost your mind?
You know what?
Chandler asked
me the same thing.
Right before... I shot her.
You know what?
And it's actually kind of
A hard question to
answer, you know?
'cause my life, my life
was going really good.
It was going really good.
Until you came back into it.
You know, with your
snooping and your sneaking.
It's enough to
make anybody crazy.
What did you expect to happen?
Pretty much that.
I mean... The only way
that you can clear your name
Is by bringing me down.
I can't let that happen.
You could have
found another way.
I thought about that.
I thought about that.
But it was just too
easy to pin it all on you.
You know?
You know, the
codes, the overbilling,
And the best part...
The best part is you
had no idea I was doing it.
[laughs] pathetic.
Yeah.
I was... So, so stupid.
I really thought you loved me.
[elias sighs, diana laughs]
Don't be so hard on yourself.
I thought I loved you too.
But it turns out...
I love money even more.
[tearfully] I went
to prison, elias!
It's the only way.
Come on, you had to see that.
As soon as you went to prison,
well, the investigation stopped.
I mean, look at you.
Now you're out... You know,
you got a, a new life, a new start,
You made a new friend.
- Huh? Huh?
- [laughing]
This, this could work
out for both of us, but no.
Not you.
Not diana.
You had to come
back, didn't you?
You had to start
meddling in things.
This is all on you,
diana. Your fault.
Now... Are you gonna tell
me where the passport is?
Don't... Do not get up.
Or what?
I still have
bullets in this gun.
You are never gonna
get away with this.
I have told people everything
that happened between us.
Oh, please.
Nobody cares. No one.
And chandler here?
Come on.
She disappeared as soon
as she went to prison. Yeah.
She fell right off
the face of the earth.
She's gonna just
end up in the lake
And no one's gonna even notice.
Like cindy?
Wow... I'm impressed.
Did you just figure
that out by yourself?
[elias laughs]
I never thought you
were a murderer.
Not even after everything.
Yeah? Well, sometimes
we surprise ourselves.
Cindy pushed me
just a little too far.
Kinda like you're
doing right... Now.
I won't be so easy.
[scoffs]
It is gonna be easy,
because it's self-defense.
I mean, everybody knows
that you, you're out for revenge.
You know? It'll be a
really easy story to tell.
You and your friend
break into my house
With murder on your mind.
You even bring...
Your boyfriend's gun.
It's pretty perfect. [laughs]
[diana shouts]
[both grunting and struggling]
[diana cries out]
[elias panting and laughing]
You know what?
I don't even care about
the passport anymore.
[diana shouts, elias grunts]
Whoo! You're making my
self-defense story pretty easy.
[diana shouts]
[both grunting and struggling]
[diana screams]
[gunshot, elias shouts]
[panting]
[groaning and screaming]
I'm bleeding!
[both panting]
[diana laughs]
[panting]
[diana chuckling]
It's all going up to the cloud.
You can't stop it.
You already
confessed everything.
Oh, you bitch.
You bitch!
[door opens]
Diana, don't do it!
Don't do it.
He's not worth it... Okay?
Just... Don't do it.
He's not worth it.
Take care of chandler.
[panting] ah... Thank
you... Thank you.
You saved me. She
was gonna kill me.
She... You saw, she
was gonna kill me.
She's crazy, she was gonna...
[grunts]
[sighs]
Jeffrey: It's gonna be okay.
Gimme a minute.
Hey.
I'll see you so soon.
Diana: You ready?
- That's what they tell me.
- Good.
[groans softly]
Thank you.
Thank you...
For everything.
I couldn't have done
it without you, and...
I am so sorry for putting
you through all this.
It's okay.
We got him.
That's all that matters.
They found cindy in the lake.
And with what he
did to you and me...
He'll be going away forever.
Here.
These are those files
I was telling you about.
I was gonna give
it to the press, but...
I figured I'd just wait.
Everything's on there.
You can take it to
the medical board
And get your
nursing license back.
This is... Amazing. Thank you.
Or you can just burn
it all, or whatever.
[both laugh]
No way. No, I'm definitely
gonna do something with it.
And... It looks like
we're good to go.
How's that going?
Good.
I think we might
really have something.
Good.
I like him.
Me too.
Hey, I, uh... I still
have one question.
Yeah?
Danny?
Wasn't a suicide, was it?
Danny: Please...
Wait.
Wait... Stop!
You're not getting
away with any of this.
What do you want?
I'll give you anything.
Money? Promotion?
It's too late for that.
What else?
Anything.
I'll give you anything.
I want you to go down, asshole.
I have at least three other
women who are ready to talk.
Please...
Pl... Please...
[both scream]
[thud]
[chandler gasping]
I never meant for him to die.
I just wanted him to admit
To all the terrible
things he had done.
It wasn't your fault.
Let's go.
How you holding up?
I'm okay.
[music]
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 apptit.
- 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 apptit.
- 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 clich, 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?
It's another piece
of the puzzle, but...
It just doesn't do
anything by itself.
I figured.
It's unfortunate.
Look, diana...
It's clear that elias
had something to do
With cindy disappearing,
But there is no hard proof,
Nothing to take to the police.
So that's it?
Short of a confession or
a body, yeah, I'd say so.
So there's... Nothing
you can do to help here?
Don't say it like that.
But it's true, isn't it?
What about us?
I don't know... Jeffrey.
[sighs]
[sighing tearfully]
[sobbing]
[click]
Chandler: And you were a
regular patient of dr. Brodeur?
Man: Yes.
Chandler: When did you start
noticing the extra charges?
Well, I started getting
these x-ray charges,
And the first time,
I thought it was my
mistake, so I paid it.
But then it kept happening,
so I called the office,
And I called the insurance,
Left messages and
never heard back.
It was a nightmare.
What?
Your 3:00 is here.
Just... Cancel my
whole day, okay? All of it.
That's it.
[elias sighing]
[door closes]
This ends now.
[message alert]
[sighs]
[creaking in hallway]
[sighs]
The insurance company has
cleared elias of any wrongdoing.
He denies any knowledge
of what happened.
Well, you better
steer very clear.
You have to understand,
Elias is going after me
because I asked for a divorce.
I must not have made
myself clear the other night.
This... This is my town.
Leave me alone.
We're just getting started.
Jenny: I hear you, diana,
But if this goes to trial
And you are found
guilty, which you will be,
You are looking at
thousands of dollars in fines
And serious jail time.
You're never gonna
find anything...
'cause I'm bulletproof.
Diana: Cindy's passport.
Jeffrey: Her father just
wouldn't leave it alone.
He knew something was wrong.
Shh... [snickers, muffles diana]
Where is cindy?
What did you do to her?
Well, that's none of
your goddamn business.
Men like elias need
to be brought down.
You may have put me in prison...
Hey, that was not the intention.
...But you do not get
to take away my future.
Jenny, I would never, ever
do anything like this. Never.
But there's no way to prove
any of what you're saying.
I can. I can.
Call jeffrey stevens.
[call ringing through]
Diana.
I'm going to see elias.
Diana, don't do
anything irrational.
I listened to what you said.
You need a confession,
I'm gonna get you one.
I know I can.
That's impossible.
Just let it go.
It's too dangerous.
I just can't, jeffrey.
Elias needs to be exposed.
I can't let him
get away with this.
At least do one thing.
Just wait until I
get there. Please.
I won't wait forever.
[jeffrey grunts]
Who's the tough guy now, huh?
[elias panting]
Okay...
Yeah, uh...
[choking]
[car horn beeps]
Okay... Let's see
who you are, jeffrey.
Shit.
[voices in distance]
In you go, in you go.
[elias grunting]
Yeah, there you go.
[breathing heavily]
[birds squawking]
[sighs]
Where are you?
[door alert honks]
[call ringing through]
[cell phone ringtone,
jeffrey groaning]
Jeffrey, elias is here.
I can't wait much longer.
Where are you?
[gasping and groaning]
What in the...?
[groaning]
What the hell happened?
[call ringing through]
[cell phone ringtone]
Oh, shit, my... Oh, my gun.
Damn it.
Please, please, please.
Diana...
[phone beeps]
Where are you?
I'm on my way.
Look, chandler just showed up.
I think she just
went into the house.
I... I don't know
what's happening.
Is elias there?
Yeah, he came earlier.
I'm on my way.
Stay where you are.
Whatever happens,
Don't go into the house.
Just get here.
[breathing heavily]
Chandler: Diana?
Diana, are you
here? I got your text.
Diana?
[chandler gasps, both
grunting and struggling]
Oh, I'm so glad you
got my text, chandler.
[elias grunts]
[chandler panting]
Oh... Whew.
You're a feisty one.
- Elias...
- I think we should finish
What we started
the other day, huh?
Oh, you son of a bitch!
[both grunting and struggling]
[elias shouts, chandler screams]
Aah! God!
You got me good.
Whew... You gonna
behave yourself now, huh?
Fine. What do you want?
I don't wanna
get in a fistfight.
I wanna know what you know.
I wanna know
what you... Diana...
And her stupid boyfriend know.
And then will you let me go?
[breathing heavily]
What do you think?
I think you're a psycho.
Yeah?
I'm just trying to
protect what's mine.
But then people like you keep
trying to take it away from me.
People like me.
Do you mean women?
Sure.
You.
Diana.
Cindy.
You're all the same.
I don't want anything
from you, elias.
Good.
Then answer my question.
Screw you.
I gave you a chance.
[gunshot]
[gasps]
No!
I heard a gunshot.
What? Are you all right?
I'm okay, but
chandler's in the house.
I'm going in.
No, wait for me! I'm not far!
I can't.
Chandler's in danger.
[panting]
Shit...
[chandler moaning]
[diana gasps]
Chandler! No!
Chandler...
Chandler, it's diana.
Can you hear me?
Oh, god, this is my fault.
No, no, don't move, don't move.
I'm gonna call an ambulance.
Elias: Don't... Do that.
Elias.
She's in shock.
Lost a lot of blood.
She might die.
Too bad there's not a doctor
around here to take care of her.
What do you want?
What do I want?
What do I want? What
do you want, huh?
Why are you here?
I thought we could
work things out.
You thought we
could work things out.
Did you now?
I think it's a little late
for that, don't you?
Do you have the passport?
No.
I put it somewhere safe.
That's too bad.
[diana grunts]
[groaning]
Chandler...
Oh...
Ah-ah-ah!
Just stay right there.
Okay, sweetheart?
Where were we?
Oh, yeah, uh...
You were about to tell
me where the passport is.
I gave it to jeffrey.
That's the wrong answer.
Have you lost your mind?
You know what?
Chandler asked
me the same thing.
Right before... I shot her.
You know what?
And it's actually kind of
A hard question to
answer, you know?
'cause my life, my life
was going really good.
It was going really good.
Until you came back into it.
You know, with your
snooping and your sneaking.
It's enough to
make anybody crazy.
What did you expect to happen?
Pretty much that.
I mean... The only way
that you can clear your name
Is by bringing me down.
I can't let that happen.
You could have
found another way.
I thought about that.
I thought about that.
But it was just too
easy to pin it all on you.
You know?
You know, the
codes, the overbilling,
And the best part...
The best part is you
had no idea I was doing it.
[laughs] pathetic.
Yeah.
I was... So, so stupid.
I really thought you loved me.
[elias sighs, diana laughs]
Don't be so hard on yourself.
I thought I loved you too.
But it turns out...
I love money even more.
[tearfully] I went
to prison, elias!
It's the only way.
Come on, you had to see that.
As soon as you went to prison,
well, the investigation stopped.
I mean, look at you.
Now you're out... You know,
you got a, a new life, a new start,
You made a new friend.
- Huh? Huh?
- [laughing]
This, this could work
out for both of us, but no.
Not you.
Not diana.
You had to come
back, didn't you?
You had to start
meddling in things.
This is all on you,
diana. Your fault.
Now... Are you gonna tell
me where the passport is?
Don't... Do not get up.
Or what?
I still have
bullets in this gun.
You are never gonna
get away with this.
I have told people everything
that happened between us.
Oh, please.
Nobody cares. No one.
And chandler here?
Come on.
She disappeared as soon
as she went to prison. Yeah.
She fell right off
the face of the earth.
She's gonna just
end up in the lake
And no one's gonna even notice.
Like cindy?
Wow... I'm impressed.
Did you just figure
that out by yourself?
[elias laughs]
I never thought you
were a murderer.
Not even after everything.
Yeah? Well, sometimes
we surprise ourselves.
Cindy pushed me
just a little too far.
Kinda like you're
doing right... Now.
I won't be so easy.
[scoffs]
It is gonna be easy,
because it's self-defense.
I mean, everybody knows
that you, you're out for revenge.
You know? It'll be a
really easy story to tell.
You and your friend
break into my house
With murder on your mind.
You even bring...
Your boyfriend's gun.
It's pretty perfect. [laughs]
[diana shouts]
[both grunting and struggling]
[diana cries out]
[elias panting and laughing]
You know what?
I don't even care about
the passport anymore.
[diana shouts, elias grunts]
Whoo! You're making my
self-defense story pretty easy.
[diana shouts]
[both grunting and struggling]
[diana screams]
[gunshot, elias shouts]
[panting]
[groaning and screaming]
I'm bleeding!
[both panting]
[diana laughs]
[panting]
[diana chuckling]
It's all going up to the cloud.
You can't stop it.
You already
confessed everything.
Oh, you bitch.
You bitch!
[door opens]
Diana, don't do it!
Don't do it.
He's not worth it... Okay?
Just... Don't do it.
He's not worth it.
Take care of chandler.
[panting] ah... Thank
you... Thank you.
You saved me. She
was gonna kill me.
She... You saw, she
was gonna kill me.
She's crazy, she was gonna...
[grunts]
[sighs]
Jeffrey: It's gonna be okay.
Gimme a minute.
Hey.
I'll see you so soon.
Diana: You ready?
- That's what they tell me.
- Good.
[groans softly]
Thank you.
Thank you...
For everything.
I couldn't have done
it without you, and...
I am so sorry for putting
you through all this.
It's okay.
We got him.
That's all that matters.
They found cindy in the lake.
And with what he
did to you and me...
He'll be going away forever.
Here.
These are those files
I was telling you about.
I was gonna give
it to the press, but...
I figured I'd just wait.
Everything's on there.
You can take it to
the medical board
And get your
nursing license back.
This is... Amazing. Thank you.
Or you can just burn
it all, or whatever.
[both laugh]
No way. No, I'm definitely
gonna do something with it.
And... It looks like
we're good to go.
How's that going?
Good.
I think we might
really have something.
Good.
I like him.
Me too.
Hey, I, uh... I still
have one question.
Yeah?
Danny?
Wasn't a suicide, was it?
Danny: Please...
Wait.
Wait... Stop!
You're not getting
away with any of this.
What do you want?
I'll give you anything.
Money? Promotion?
It's too late for that.
What else?
Anything.
I'll give you anything.
I want you to go down, asshole.
I have at least three other
women who are ready to talk.
Please...
Pl... Please...
[both scream]
[thud]
[chandler gasping]
I never meant for him to die.
I just wanted him to admit
To all the terrible
things he had done.
It wasn't your fault.
Let's go.
How you holding up?
I'm okay.
[music]
