His Brother's Wife (2026) Movie Script
[coughing]
Oh, Desmond.
Desmond.
Desmond.
Okay. Okay. Okay.
Desmond.
Des!
Desmond.
I have to get something.
Desmond! Des!
No!
No! No!
[slow dramatic music]
[slow jazz music]
[dramatic music]
[knocking]
Desmond.
Hey Olivia.
What are you doing here?
Look, I know this is not the best idea,
but this is urgent.
Where did you park?
Down the street, but I was careful.
[Olivia] Desmond.
So you gonna let me in?
Who else is in the house
with you right now?
It's only me, but Logan
should be leaving work by now.
Good, 'cause we need to talk.
Why didn't you just call me?
I couldn't risk it.
We need to figure this out,
before your husband
returns home from work.
Desmond, what's going on?
Look, man, someone
has been following us.
They know everything.
What?
I don't know your husband.
He must have hired a private detective.
He was at my office, spoke to
my secretary, my colleague.
Hell, he probably already
spoke to my wife by now.
Desmond, what are you talking about?
I'm telling you,
detective was asking
all kind of questions.
How frequent you came to my office?
How long did you stay for?
Really?
My secretary said he has
pictures of us going in
and outta hotels,
restaurants, holding hands.
It's all out there, Olivia.
I mean, people would've
found out eventually.
Yeah, but I didn't think
it would happen this way.
God.
[dramatic music]
Darling.
I know this is not the
most ideal situation,
and things didn't happen as planned,
but,
all of this is gonna work out eventually.
But it's like...
I don't know.
It feels like I've been on edge for months
and finally I could take
a deep breath and excel.
I don't know.
It feels like a big relief.
- Olivia, let me...
- No, no, no.
This is incredible.
It's like a newfound freedom.
It's like a heavy weight being lifted
off of my shoulders.
Ah!
It's the secrecy.
Constant fear of being exposed.
Desmond, we don't have to hide anymore.
Olivia.
Everything that's been holding us down,
we could put behind us, babe.
We could start a new life together.
Being in love shouldn't be a crime.
We could tell him the truth.
[loud thud]
Olivia. How?
There's a significant amount of proof.
The places we went to, the things we did.
They will crucify our asses
and make us look like terrible people.
We can clarify.
And we can tell them our side of the story,
and they will understand.
How when they twist everything we say?
Olivia... [dog barking]
[dog barking continues]
Logan.
Logan.
Logan.
[dramatic music]
It was the neighbor's dog.
How about we...
I was cooking earlier and I
didn't know you were coming.
How about you picture me in a sexy dress
and come here and gimme a kiss.
Olivia, this is serious.
I've been struggling all day trying
to figure out what are we going to do?
You should have called me.
I mean, this is a problem that
we both have to take care of.
I understand that.
What troubles me the most is,
the impact this will
have on my two daughters.
Those girls are the most important
thing to me in this world.
They're still very young,
too young to understand
something like this.
They found out their father
was having an affair,
pretty sure it shattered
their poor little hearts.
You just told me last week that
they were distancing themselves
and becoming more independent,
both them and their mother.
I understand what I said.
You know I said a lot of things,
but I don't know, man.
Maybe I just wasn't in
the right mind space.
When you get home,
why don't you just think
about it and call me later?
Do you think your
husband will expose us?
Babe, don't worry about
Logan. I'll deal with him.
I cannot handle a scandal, Olivia.
Scandal?
Do you know what this
would do to my two daughters
with my face exposed
all over social media?
We discussed this.
You said you have the right to be happy
and you took care of all
your daughters' expenses.
And besides that, you don't
have any moral obligations.
Whatever I said, it
don't matter anymore.
I don't understand
where this is coming from.
What do you mean?
The things that you're saying right now?
Look, I wish I had a better
way to explain all this,
to help you understand
it a little bit more.
I really do.
What am I supposed to do?
Encourage your husband not
to turn this into a scandal.
Please.
Try to get him to see that
revenge won't solve anything.
And then we can be together?
No, Olivia.
That's not gonna happen anymore.
What's the alternative?
Well,
I'll go back to my wife
if she takes me back, then you...
What am I supposed to do?
Hey, you can have your freedom.
You always talked about that.
You wanted to break
free from your husband.
Yes. I wanted to break
free to be with you.
I'm sorry. That's not
gonna happen anymore.
I can't.
So what do you expect me to
do? Just turn my feelings off.
- Olivia.
- No.
Olivia, I didn't think
it would come to this.
I thought we had something real.
We did, and we still do.
It's just that the
circumstances have changed now.
Yeah. You're gonna
leave me for your wife.
Olivia, I have to salvage
what's left of my family.
What about us?
What about the plans that we made?
What about the time we spent together?
Look, Olivia.
And I will cherish those moments forever,
but we can't keep living in
denial, hoping for a future
that we know it cannot be.
So what if I can't?
What if I can't live without you?
Look, you need to face this situation.
This is our reality now, Olivia.
No, this is not reality.
This is a nightmare.
I've been living in this
house all these years
in this mundane existence,
with a man who doesn't want children,
who wants everything and gives nothing.
And then you come in my life
and show me what love is.
And you just leave.
Talk to me.
Talk to me!
Say something.
Say something!
[dramatic music]
All my life I made mistakes.
Too many mistakes.
Now I have to bear the
weight of that guilt.
It's the most repulsive, disgraceful act
that a woman can commit.
What are you doing?
[dramatic music]
I'd rather end my own
life right now, right here,
than to accept that a love
I once thought was pure and beautiful,
has been reduced to this.
Olivia, baby don't talk like that.
How am I supposed to talk, huh?
How else should I talk like huh?
What else do I have?
What am I supposed to do?
I have nothing!
- No!
Nothing!
Olivia, no!
Olivia!
[Olivia screaming]
Stop! Give me the knife!
- No! No!
[dramatic music]
Desmond!
Desmond!
No!
Desmond!
Desmond!
Are you okay?
I gotta get something.
I gotta get something.
Okay. Good.
No! Desmond!
No!
Okay. Okay.
Oh no!
Come on Desmond.
Desmond!
Desmond! Des!
Okay. Okay. Okay.
No!
No! No!
I'll get something. I'll get
Desmond!
Desmond!
Desmond! No!
No! No!
I'll get something.
Come on. Come on.
Okay. Desmond!
Desmond!
Desmond!
Desmond!
No. No. No.
It's okay. It's okay.
Oh, no, no, no.
Come on baby. Come on baby.
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
[Desmond speaking indistinctly]
Okay.
Desmond!
Desmond!
Desmond!
[Olivia crying]
[slow dramatic music]
[water flowing]
[slow dramatic music continues]
[dramatic music]
[knocking]
Who is it?
- Chase.
Where's Logan?
- He's not here.
Cool. I can wait.
What's wrong with you?
Why your face look like that?
Shut the door Olivia.
Flies are buzzing around.
I see that you are dressed to impress.
Looking kind of dolled up.
You never dressed this
nice for my brother.
Who's the mystery guest?
Come on. You can tell me.
Let me in on your little secret.
Nothing?
Okay.
[chuckling]
Something does smell nice though.
Let me guess. Meatballs.
[dog barking]
Hey Olivia.
[dog barking continues]
There's a dog outside in the backyard.
You guys have a dog or something?
[eerie music]
Wait.
Hold up.
Did you guys adopt the dog?
No.
[dog barking]
No.
So if the dog isn't yours,
what is it doing here?
I mean, dogs don't show up to
strangers houses for nothing.
What have you done?
Did you kill someone?
Come on, tell me. Who is it?
Where's the body?
[Chase laughing]
Did you kill someone?
Girl, you should see your face. Priceless.
This is pretty sharp.
Is this the knife you used to kill him?
I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Damn.
Seriously, I thought you were cooking.
Why are you taking the vegetables away?
Come on, man.
I'm starving.
Really?
A house guest comes over and
you just randomly decide not
to finish cooking.
A bit cold, don't you think?
It's cool.
When my brother comes,
I'll have to let him know
to take another wife,
somebody who, I don't know,
enjoys cooking for his guest.
Oh!
Beer!
Now this is exactly what I needed.
You know, a cold beer on a warm day
is like pure bliss.
You know I've always
had a weakness for beer.
Especially at the beach.
Does that ring any bells?
You know me and Logan,
we would spend countless
days at the beach.
Those were the days.
We would make a fire,
buy a picnic with beer,
or we'll take a boat out
and sail to the horizon.
Just two brothers having fun.
And then you came along and
nothing was ever the same again.
God dammit.
I stain my shirt.
Do you mind giving me a hand?
You know it's quite amazing
that my brother gets
a wife all to himself.
Maybe I should consider
getting one just like you.
Absolutely flawless.
Not a stain whatsoever.
But you always had a
talent for fixing things.
You fixed me up real good, didn't you?
Well, at least you thought you did.
Remember?
Do you remember?
It was that night at the beach,
and my brother Logan
thought it was a good idea
to get me drunk for a good laugh.
What?
Another beer.
What are you trying to do?
Are you trying to get me drunk, Olivia?
Well, princess, I'll have to warn you
that it's gonna take a lot more
than two whole cans of beer
to get me drunk this time. [Phone alert]
It's been several years,
but I still recall that day so vividly.
The day you destroyed my
relationship with my brother.
"Keep that filthy kid away from me."
Those were your exact words.
Calling me a filthy kid.
I was drunk and I was
trying to have a good time,
and you call me a filthy kid!
[dramatic music]
Do you feel like that was
a good thing to do, huh?
Putting a wedge between me and my brother.
Putting me against my brother.
And, Logan never said anything,
but I could tell ever since that day
that things were just
different between me and him.
Just thinking about it all the time.
And you caused that!
You caused that! [Phone alert]
Where are you going, Olivia?
I'm talking to you!
Okay. And now you don't
have anything to say, huh?
All you ever wanted to talk
about was having children.
And all day, every day,
you constantly nagging my poor brother.
Shoving pictures of babies in his face.
Or my favorite, taking him
to the neighbor's house
and introducing him to
the neighbor's babies.
I just don't understand
how he dealt with it,
endured it for so goddamn long.
Shut up!
Wow. Wow. Wow. Well, now
the princess finally speaks.
Well, don't stop now.
Come on, say something.
Let me hear something, Olivia.
Hello? Oh, nothing.
And I thought that we were going
to have a delightful fucking dialogue.
[dramatic music]
[Olivia grunts] [face smacking]
[chuckling] The princess is feisty.
I love that.
I need you to get out of
here and leave right now!
Or what?
What will you do, Olivia?
I will tell your brother everything.
Everything.
The whole story.
Why are you so uptight?
We haven't even done anything yet.
You're not going anywhere.
We have a lot of catching up to do.
I wouldn't do that if I was you.
If you leave now,
then you missed a chance to meet
some pretty interested individuals.
There's a lady in particular,
and you have so much in common.
Ms. Julia Johnson.
[dramatic music]
Good girl. See, that's a smart one.
There's also some more people coming.
Someone you may not expect.
Mrs. Johnson's husband, Desmond Johnson.
Now, and you both know
each other quite well.
What am I saying?
Of course you do.
It's the man that you're sleeping with.
And let's not forget about
my dear old brother, Logan.
Logan. Logan. Logan.
They're all gonna be here tonight.
And I can't wait to see your
face when I tell everyone
that you are not as innocent as you look.
- Chase...
- Ah. Ah.
Chase.
There's a horse in the center
that I put some money on.
Shh.
Shh.
Shh.
[announcer speaking]
[announcer] But tackled on all sides.
They race up towards the line.
I have to learn how to save money.
Gambling is just not good for me.
Okay. So everything
that you said earlier,
you were just joking, right?
Why would I be joking?
So you invited everyone
to come here tonight?
Of course.
7:30 sharp.
[chuckling]
I'm going to expose every
little secret you have.
It looks like it's almost time.
They should be here any moment now.
So that's why you can't leave the house.
You can't escape this.
Things just have a way of
catching up to you sometimes.
Think about it.
So, Logan, he didn't
hire the private detective.
It was...
- Mhmm.
- [Olivia] It was...
- Come on.
It was, it was, it was, it was you.
Bingo!
I've been waiting for
this day for so long.
And then your little boyfriend,
I'm sure he was terrified
when he got the call.
So much that he text you
and warned you, didn't he?
And then that's when you
thought you would get
an Uber and run away.
My dear sister-in-law.
I would not have missed this
for anything in the world.
What will my brother do when he finds out
that his beautiful trophy
wife is having an affair?
I just get so excited thinking about it.
[knocking] Here we go.
Right on schedule. Chapter one begins now.
Please let me.
This brings me so much pleasure.
Mrs. Johnson. Please come in.
[dramatic music]
[Mrs. Johnson] Is Mr. Johnson here yet?
[Chase] No, but should
be here any minute.
I'm Chase Clark.
- Pleasure.
- I'm the one who text you.
And this is Olivia Clark.
My brother's wife.
Oh, I see.
Guess I'm supposed to
say nice to meet you.
Something tells me that I shouldn't.
Please take a seat.
[dramatic music]
[water flowing]
There you go.
Thank you.
Hey, just a heads up.
My brother is on his way
and I'm not sure what's
delaying your husband.
He should have been here by now.
But if you don't mind, I
wanna hold off on the details
until everybody's present.
Oh, I don't mind.
Good.
You and your husband are from
Montgomery County, right?
Yes, we are.
I actually love it there.
New Carrollton has its charm.
But I think Rockville is the best.
I used to have territory there.
- [Mrs. Johnson] Is that so?
- Mhmm.
[Mrs. Johnson] And
what's your profession?
I'm in liquor sales.
Interesting.
It truly is.
It allows you to encounter so many people
from so many different walks of life.
And you have to be able to understand
their basic psychology.
You have to be able to understand
the human mind in order to sell.
And you, do you work, Mrs. Clark?
No.
I'm sorry. I didn't catch that.
No, I do not.
You must have a lot on
your plate, Ms. Johnson.
How do you figure that?
I mean, with you being
in the medical field,
hospitals are hectic.
Then you come into this
beautiful home hosting events
and taking care of your children.
Your life must be pretty occupied.
You seem quite informed about my life.
I don't mean to pry, it's just...
I understand.
Did you manage to reach my husband yet?
No. I reached out to his secretary
and they said that he
should be in this evening.
He usually dropped in about this time,
even if he's out all day.
I see.
Do you know what time it is?
It is 7:40.
I wonder what's keeping them?
What's wrong, Mrs. Clark? Are you okay?
You're trembling.
Nothing.
[Chase] That means somebody's
walking over your grave.
It's nothing.
Are you sure? 'Cause
you seem quite uneasy.
It's just a chill. I'm fine.
You know, I wouldn't bother you.
We're all a bit on edge
waiting for Mr. Johnson.
Indeed. I understand
that waiting on someone
who's running late can be quite annoying.
Just take a breather, Mrs. Clark.
I'm fine. I'm fine.
I just need a moment.
Maybe, just, maybe a cup
of tea might ease your nerves.
Oh, that's a good idea.
One cup can do wonders.
I'm okay.
You know, when I was young
and we were late, we used
to have to write punctuality
is the politeness of princes
on the board a hundred times.
Punctuality is the
politeness of princes?
Yep. A hundred times.
Is that Shakespeare?
I don't know.
Sounds like something he'd say.
Either way.
It's crazy what we pick up
and take with us from school.
Yeah. The lesson of punctuality
will stick around for a while.
Absolutely. And in the world of sales,
punctuality is everything,
just like in the world
of princes, I suppose.
Okay. I really have
to tell you something.
It's very urgent.
Olivia, we're in the
middle of a conversation.
No, no, no. But it's very urgent.
I understand that it's important,
but it can wait a few minutes, okay.
- But Chase...
- I said...
We can wait a few more minutes
until Logan and Mr. Johnson arrive.
[dramatic music]
I think Brockville is
such a beautiful city.
Hi. Hi.
I would like to report...
- Hang up. Hang up right now.
No more phone tricks.
I was just fixing myself up.
Okay. But the door stays open.
[phone vibrating]
Phone.
[phone vibrating continues]
Hello.
[chuckling]
Yes. Yes. Everything is fine.
My sister-in-law called
you guys by mistake.
Yeah.
You want to talk to her?
Sure.
Hello.
Oh, no, no, no, no. It
was a mistake. I'm sorry.
Yes. I apologize.
Okay. All right. Bye.
Mrs. Johnson, do you want anything else?
Hey boy, what you doing here?
Lo. What's up, man?
Hey, I'm exhausted,
man. You know already?
Where you been?
I got a surprise for
everybody. It's gonna be awesome.
Hey, who this, who this?
Mrs. Johnson, this is my
big brother, Logan Clark.
Mrs. Johnson, you
fooling now. That's fancy.
Well, hey look, Mrs. Johnson,
you gonna be messing with this one,
Better be careful 'cause
he's a smooth operator.
Pardon me?
Pardon me? What? What?
Y'all ain't? Y'all ain't?
[mumbling]
Mrs. Johnson is here
for a serious matter.
Oh. Oh.
I'm sorry, Mrs. Johnson.
I assumed and you know when they assumed,
make an ass outta you.
- Stop, stop, stop.
- Right on.
Hey, I got something in the car.
Come on, help him get it out. Come on.
Come on, come on with your media muscles.
What is wrong with you? Why you always?
[Logan] Yeah.
[Chase] Lo, I really
need to talk to you, man.
[Logan] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
It can wait. It can wait.
It can't.
Yes, it can. It'll be awesome later.
Move it a little bit over to the left.
All right, but tell me
where to put things, man.
Come on. You get it all the time.
You gonna get a benefit.
You're gonna get the
benefits of it. Come on.
Lo, I need to talk to you.
Not now. Not now.
Hey, yo Liv! Liv, babe.
Come on here. Check this out.
Was at Best Buy. I found
one. You gonna love it.
Come on in, baby.
Now it's gonna take me a
while to get it together,
'cause it's like the
menu is like that thick
and I think it's written
in Chinese or something.
But it's gonna be great.
All we need is like an outlet.
A what?
You know, a way for
me to express myself.
I know what a goddamn outlet is.
It's behind the TV.
Oh, over there. Well, shoot.
We'll, we'll just run the
extension cord or something.
We'll figure it out.
- Bro. I need to talk to you.
- Later, bro.
We'll figure it out later.
Hey, you said that you knew exactly
why I called you and
your husband here today.
Yes.
Good.
While we wait for your husband,
I want to take my brother
outside and explain to him.
Oh.
Oh, what?
You haven't told him?
- No.
- Nothing?
- Not a single detail.
- Oh, wow.
Then this is gonna be interesting.
He is a good soul.
And this might hurt him.
Yeah. I'm sure it will.
Chase, please.
Please.
I mean, what's your
motivation behind all of this?
What motivation?
Yeah. What do you hope to gain?
That is a very peculiar question.
Especially coming from somebody like you.
I'm curious.
That's my brother, and this
is the right thing to do.
Oh, really. The right thing, you say.
Lo, I really need to talk to you.
- Not now, brother.
- It's important.
What is going on? Why
is it so important, huh?
I gotta get some more stuff outta...
Lo, I need to talk to you.
What, can't it wait?
No, it can't. It's important.
Why?
I prefer to talk to you outside.
All right.
Cloak and dagger stuff.
Excuse us. We're gonna
discuss things outside.
I think you and I
should have a little chat.
Please sit down.
Now you do know what your brother-in-law
is telling your husband outside, right?
He's telling him that you
have been having an
affair with my husband.
Of course, me as the betrayed wife,
I am supposed to harbor some
kind of animosity towards you.
But I don't.
Does that surprise you?
I mean, I don't necessarily care for you,
but I think you're just feeble and naive.
Your brother-in-law hates you.
Like he genuinely hates you.
How do you deal with a person
like that all the time?
I have something very
important to tell you.
Oh, I'm still talking.
See, I have several things
that I would like to express.
First, I knew my husband
was seeing somebody.
I just didn't know who,
but I had a pretty good
idea what you'd be like.
See, I've been married 14 years
and in that time you can come
to know a person thoroughly.
And honey, I know my husband.
Now he's a complex man,
and I admit there are aspects
of him that is quite charming.
See, I know he was seeing someone,
when he started to be exceptionally kind
and attentive at home.
See 'cause this has happened before.
Oh yeah, about 10 years
ago, then two years ago.
And the latest one was
a couple of weeks ago.
Now of course he don't
know I know any of this.
Now you.
What? Today is the day
he find out that I know.
Certainly the other two
women that he slept with
are all married.
But you, well, technically
you're not married either.
See, because if you were married,
you wouldn't have been captivated
by any other man but your husband.
You don't know my husband.
See 'cause if you knew my
husband, you would've known
about his intense desire to be worshiped.
That's the only reason
he had an affair with you.
Because you worshiped him.
Now I'm telling you all of this
because you are gonna put a stop to it all.
See, things are gonna be a little different
around here from now on,
because my husband loves only one person
in this entire world and it's me.
That's not true.
Sweetheart, don't be delusional.
Just because you don't believe it
doesn't mean it's not true.
That's not true.
I'm telling you this for your own good.
Stop! That's not true!
It is true.
Now let me tell you what's gonna happen,
when my husband arrives.
He's going to get down on his knees
and beg me to forgive him.
And he is gonna profess his love for me.
He's going to get down on his knees
and he's gonna express his desire
to come and stay with me.
Every time he kissed you
and professed his love for you,
he only did it because he
loves to see the admiration
on your face.
It fuels him.
When he sit back and closes his eyes
and convinces himself
that he is the greatest lover and hero.
Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
Don't say it again!
Don't be naive.
Now, have you considered
what's gonna happen to you now?
Your brother-in-law is gonna make sure
you don't have a penny after this divorce.
Do you have any idea
on how to earn an income?
Do you?
Do you have children Mrs. Clark?
What a shame.
You don't have anyone to love you.
You are all on your own.
I feel sorry for you. I truly do.
[dramatic music]
You never loved him.
What?
Never loved him.
Well, it depends on what
your definition of love is.
I mean, true love.
You obviously heard nothing I said.
[dramatic music]
Why?
Why?
Why?
Are you gonna say something?
I told you you couldn't trust her.
I've been telling you that shit for years
and you never listened.
She was untrustworthy then
and she's untrustworthy now.
- Chase.
What do you gotta say for yourself, huh?
Answer me.
Answer me.
[dramatic music] Answer me!
- Yo. What are you doing?
- Yo, what?
Stop! What are you doing?
- What's wrong with you?
- What are you doing?
What?
This is exactly what she
wants you to do. Think Lo.
You wanna go to jail? Think.
[dramatic music]
Jesus, I never thought I'd raised my hand
up against a woman.
Hey, this isn't on you.
She's the one to blame.
Yeah. I guess, but you
know, this is a bullshit day.
A lot's been thrown at me.
The ground is shifting out from under me.
I've been married to a
person for so many years
and I thought I knew who they were,
but I guess I didn't at all.
Let's just get this shit over with.
No, no, no, no, no.
Ol' boy not here yet.
Well, what time is
he supposed to be here?
I told him 7:30.
It's late as hell now.
Yeah, you're right. Maybe I
should call the office again.
No, I highly doubt he worked this late.
Guy like that running around
on different guy's women.
He ain't gonna show up, man.
He probably didn't get the message.
Oh no. He got the message.
How do you know?
He called her?
Did he?
Yeah.
When I got here, she was
already catching over.
She was gonna run Lo.
She was gonna leave you.
She was gonna leave you Lo.
Liv, did your boyfriend tell
you to meet you someplace?
Oh, I highly doubt that.
Probably left her. I
wouldn't put it past him.
Where is Desmond?
Where is he?
Where is he Liv?
Where is this cat?
[Chase] Where is he?
Say something. Where is he Liv?
Where is he?
Shut up! You're always talking!
I tried to tell you earlier.
He's over there!
What?
What am I looking at?
Where the hell is he?
He was right there.
Well, he isn't here anymore, is he?
Where's Desmond?
Where's my husband?
What is this bullshit?
What is going on here?
Baby?
- Say something.
[Chase] She's lying.
[Olivia laughing]
He's not here.
It's not real. It's not
real. It was a dream.
It was a
It was a dream.
Oh, yes.
Okay. It was a dream.
It was a dream.
Yes.
[laughing]
Yes.
Lowie! Bro you gotta see this.
[bright music]
There's blood.
- Oh my God.
That looks like blood.
Whose blood is it?
I don't know Lowie. There's a trail.
[Logan] That I mean,
it's going somewhere.
This is serious.
Tell me right now what's going on.
Where's my husband?
Where is my husband?
[speaking indistinctly]
[Logan] Someone call 911.
[Mrs. Johnson] Oh my God.
We need to get help fast.
[Chase] All right. Hello? Hello?
Yes. Yes. Someone is hurt badly.
Please just send someone. Now!
Wait, what?
I don't understand.
What are you saying?
He's at the hospital.
[Mrs. Johnson] We gotta
call the hospital now.
Which hospital?
[Chase] St. Mary's.
It's right down the street.
Oh, we gotta call right now.
Hello?
Yes. I'm Mrs. Johnson. That's my husband.
What?
He wanted you to tell me something?
Tell him I love him too.
I'll be right there.
I'm on my way. Yes.
Thank you.
What's happening?
Well, he's in the hospital.
Doctor said knife pierce his
lungs, but he's gonna be okay.
I mean, that still
sounds pretty risky to me.
I mean, it's always a
risk. But he's gonna be fine.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Did you say a knife?
Mhmm.
A knife pierced him.
All of this sounds so suspicious to me.
Listen, your husband must
be covering up for Olivia.
She must have stabbed him.
Why don't you leave this poor girl alone?
You are always stirring up some trouble.
I'm not trying to stir up any trouble.
But if she stabbed your husband...
Is she the type of person
to do something like that?
Is she?
I say if a woman is capable
of cheating on her husband,
then she's more than
capable of stabbing someone.
I'm just curious.
Why did you have an affair with my husband?
I mean, you must have known he was married.
I'm sorry.
That's it, huh?
Come on.
I'm sorry.
She stabs your husband in the chest
and she almost gives you a heart attack.
And all she can say is, I'm sorry.
I guess she's going in to have a good cry,
to feel sorry for herself.
Are you still gonna
take your husband back
after everything that's happened?
Don't you worry about what
I'm gonna decide, Mr. Clark.
You worry about keeping
your affairs in order.
I'm sorry, my affairs.
She's talking about Olivia.
She's to blame for all of this.
[slow dramatic music]
So babe, listen, I gotta
head out real quick.
I gotta take care of
something at the office.
Who's that girl?
Babe, she's nobody. Don't worry about it.
There's nothing to worry about, okay.
Don't tell me not to
worry about it. Who is she?
I promise you it's nothing.
I just gotta take care of something.
It's nothing to worry about.
Nothing to concern yourself.
Logan, who is she?
Okay. All right. Now look,
I'm gonna tell you something.
This is why I don't
like to telling you stuff
because you freak out,
but I'm gonna level with you. All right.
That was Abigail. It's
my ex-girlfriend. All right.
Ex-girlfriend.
Yes. See, freaking out already.
Babe, that's why I told
you like, calm down.
Abigail's my ex-girlfriend.
We got some business properties.
No, but what is she doing here?
Well, you know, me and Chase,
we get involved in things together.
And so Abigail, me, Chase,
we got into some businesses together
and Chase borrowed some money from her
and she's threatening
to take away our portion
of the business if he doesn't pay it back.
So I'm just gonna move
some things around at the office
and square it away so
we can keep our stuff.
That's all, baby.
That's not your responsibility.
That's Chase's responsibility.
See, I knew you'd say that.
He needs to pay her.
I knew you'd say that,
but you know it's Chase.
You know how Chase is.
He'll pay us back.
But I just gotta take care
of this. You know how he is.
No, but I keep...
Babe, I gotta do this. All right.
I'm gonna take care of this.
I'm gonna come back and we're gonna have
a beautiful sunset dinner, okay. Okay.
[kisses smacking]
Okay. I'll be back.
Is there anything in there she can take?
[snapping fingers] Mr. Clark?
Is there anything in there
she can possibly take?
Olivia. Olivia. Baby!
Mrs. Clark.
Liv!
Olivia! [Knocking]
Baby!
[knocking]
Baby, what are you doing?
- Mrs. Clark. Olivia!
- Open this door!
Shit!
What's wrong?
- She's cut herself.
- Oh my God.
Fuck babe. What are you doing?
- What do you want?
- I can help!
I'm a nurse! Get outta the way! Please!
[Logan] Hold tight, babe!
Hold on to her. Hold on to her.
[Mrs. Johnson] Mrs.
Clark, can you hear me?
You're okay. You're gonna be fine.
Olivia, answer the
woman's question, babe.
[Mrs. Johnson] I'm a nurse, okay.
I'm gonna take care of you.
Hold on to this for me.
You gotta first aid kit?
Yeah, there's one.
There's one right there.
Okay. I'll have to use them.
Oh my God. Okay.
You're gonna be fine.
All right.
Oh shit!
What do you need from me? What can I do?
Run the bath water. We
gotta go to the hospital.
Okay. What am I putting in here?
What the fuck am I putting in this bag?
Come on Olivia. Put some
pressure here for what?
What am I putting in this?
I don't know. Toothbrush, toothpaste,
Tupperware, something. Come on!
Y'all going to the hospital now?
Which one you going to?
St. Mary's? Where you going?
Baby I'm right behind you. Okay.
I'm on your bag right behind you.
[slow dramatic music]
[phone messaging]
Oh shoot. Babe I gotta go
into the office real quick.
On a Saturday?
Yeah. Yeah. Something just came up.
Gotta take care of it real quick.
I mean, it can't wait until Monday?
No, no.
It ain't too much but I
gotta take care of it now.
[phone alert]
Is everything okay?
Yeah, everything's fine.
Where are you going?
Gonna take care of
business at the office.
I told you that.
Don't worry about it. I'll be right back.
[phone alert]
Abigail.
- Logan.
- What's going on?
It is good to see you.
It's good to be seen.
You look a little tense.
You know my wife Liv.
- I am not in that.
- I know you ain't there.
Look, what happened to you.
So Chase is fucked up,
but I'm here to pay off the debt
so you don't take the shit from me, okay.
I mean, it seems like
with your tenseness,
you might not even be able
to handle all of that.
I'm just here for business, okay.
All right, well let's talk business.
Okay. You already know
before business talk.
Let me get my hug.
I already owe you like four or five
Let me get my hug.
Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
Logan I...
I know this is a lot, and
it feels like a bad dream.
But it's over now.
It's like going up a hill way too fast.
And then suddenly you're at the top
and it's a whole new fucking
world in front of you.
Lo! Come on man.
You we don't even get down like that.
Don't match those pants. Take it off, man.
This matches your pants better.
Look, it was a shock to both of us, okay.
I have an idea.
How about we go to Mexico for a few days,
you know, down to the Ensenada.
We love the beach.
You can lay in the sun
and we can drink some
Mexican beer and tequila.
Come on man. You remember that?
Listen. Come on.
I know this girl that
works down this hotel.
She can get us any gorgeous women we want.
I mean, absolutely superb.
Come on. You can have one, two,
you can have as many as you want.
They on me bro.
- Jesus, stop it Chase.
I'm joking.
No ladies. No ladies.
Just you and me okay.
You just don't understand do you?
Lo, I understand more
than anybody in this world.
This is our chance.
Let's take this road trip.
Family is everything.
You know that, bro.
What would mom think?
Actually, I think she would be happy
that it turned out like this.
You don't need Olivia.
Hey, what?
Lo, where are you going?
Hey, hey, hey. Lo, Lo, stop.
Let's go put some hot food
in you. Get you a steak.
You'll feel better. Great even.
Come on, man.
You can drink your coffee,
and I'll handle the
paperwork at the hospital.
You don't even like her, do you?
- Honestly, no.
- [Logan] Why?
Because my eyes are wide open,
and I can see what she's doing to you.
And what is she doing to me?
She's been playing you
since the first day you met.
I'm protecting you.
And how exactly are you doing that?
I exposed her, didn't I?
And how'd you do that?
I suspected her of cheating.
And I got all the proof for you.
I gave you all the proof.
How?
What do you mean how?
How'd you know that she was cheating?
Already told you how.
I put the private detector on her ass,
and he came back with the pictures.
How'd you know she was cheating
before you got the private detective?
- Why does it matter?
- How'd you do it, Chase?
The day you were with Abigail,
I saw Olivia with another man. Okay.
[Logan laughing]
- Oh shit. That's so funny.
- What?
There ain't no coincidences, bro.
What are you saying?
You fuckin' set me up.
You sound crazy right now.
Listen to yourself.
I was with Abigail.
We were waiting for you, Lo.
And then you came, I left,
and when I was walking down the street,
I saw Olivia with another man.
It's that simple.
- That simple?
- Yes.
How many phones you got, Chase?
One.
Bullshit. Turn over your pockets.
I'm not turning over my pocket.
Turn over your goddamn pockets.
I'm not turn... Get off me!
Be still.
Don't do this...
One.
Two.
Two phones.
This is your real phone.
The one that you use to
call me to meet Abigail.
The date and time of your choosing.
This is your bullshit burner phone
that you used to tell Liv
that her husband was seeing another woman.
You got what the fuck you wanted?
You plan this whole thing.
You wanted Olivia to leave me
so you can have her for yourself.
But you forgot one little thing.
- What's that?
- She don't love you, Chase.
She don't fucking love you.
She found a better man.
And that's what makes
you so angry, isn't it?
Hey, you got it wrong, Lo.
Do I?
Fuck you!
Lo, come on, man.
Just wait a minute. Wait! Wait! Wait!
What's the problem?
You are the problem, little brother.
All this time I see that you've
been manipulating this whole
thing, interjecting yourself
in my life and everything.
But you know my eyes are open now.
They're wide open.
They were closed, but they're open now.
I see everything now.
It's been you all along.
Everything I did, I did for you.
Bullshit.
I showed you all the pictures.
Pictures are fucking useless, man.
Me and my wife, we
built a house, a family.
We had a good thing going.
But you always trying to
get yourself in there.
Let alone sad thing is that
you're in love with my wife.
Admit it.
- Wait, what?
You love my wife.
How could you say that to me?
You can't even admit it, can it?
Big brother, all this
Cloak and Dagger bullshit,
and you can't even...
- No. No. Just stop.
Just stop. Shut your mouth!
You're right. Okay.
I've in love with her.
I've been in love with
her since the first day
I saw her on that boat, man.
She looked at me and
then, and I looked at her
and it was like, it was like time froze.
And I could have made her happy.
We could have been a couple, man.
And then you stepped in and
you fucked everything up!
Your own little brother.
You stole her from me, man.
The only thing that could
have made me happy, you took.
How the fuck can you say that, bro?
We were both there at the
same time when we met her.
I went over there so I could play shy guy
so she could talk to fucking you.
She didn't choose you.
She chose me, little shit!
And now you're talking about being happy.
I hope you happy about this shit.
Lo! Lo! Lo! Lo! Lo!
Get your fucking hands off me!
Why you doing this?
Listen.
She doesn't want to be with you anymore.
She doesn't even love you.
She's doing this to try to break us up.
She's fuckin' evil, bro. She's
a deceitful little bitch!
[face smacking]
[Chase coughing]
Don't you ever fuckin'
call her that again.
Stay the fuck away from me.
That's the first time
you have hit me, Lo.
If you weren't my brother,
I'll fuckin' kill you.
[Chase coughing]
Lo! Lo!
Wait, Lo don't do this! Lo!
[dramatic music]
Oh, Desmond.
Desmond.
Desmond.
Okay. Okay. Okay.
Desmond.
Des!
Desmond.
I have to get something.
Desmond! Des!
No!
No! No!
[slow dramatic music]
[slow jazz music]
[dramatic music]
[knocking]
Desmond.
Hey Olivia.
What are you doing here?
Look, I know this is not the best idea,
but this is urgent.
Where did you park?
Down the street, but I was careful.
[Olivia] Desmond.
So you gonna let me in?
Who else is in the house
with you right now?
It's only me, but Logan
should be leaving work by now.
Good, 'cause we need to talk.
Why didn't you just call me?
I couldn't risk it.
We need to figure this out,
before your husband
returns home from work.
Desmond, what's going on?
Look, man, someone
has been following us.
They know everything.
What?
I don't know your husband.
He must have hired a private detective.
He was at my office, spoke to
my secretary, my colleague.
Hell, he probably already
spoke to my wife by now.
Desmond, what are you talking about?
I'm telling you,
detective was asking
all kind of questions.
How frequent you came to my office?
How long did you stay for?
Really?
My secretary said he has
pictures of us going in
and outta hotels,
restaurants, holding hands.
It's all out there, Olivia.
I mean, people would've
found out eventually.
Yeah, but I didn't think
it would happen this way.
God.
[dramatic music]
Darling.
I know this is not the
most ideal situation,
and things didn't happen as planned,
but,
all of this is gonna work out eventually.
But it's like...
I don't know.
It feels like I've been on edge for months
and finally I could take
a deep breath and excel.
I don't know.
It feels like a big relief.
- Olivia, let me...
- No, no, no.
This is incredible.
It's like a newfound freedom.
It's like a heavy weight being lifted
off of my shoulders.
Ah!
It's the secrecy.
Constant fear of being exposed.
Desmond, we don't have to hide anymore.
Olivia.
Everything that's been holding us down,
we could put behind us, babe.
We could start a new life together.
Being in love shouldn't be a crime.
We could tell him the truth.
[loud thud]
Olivia. How?
There's a significant amount of proof.
The places we went to, the things we did.
They will crucify our asses
and make us look like terrible people.
We can clarify.
And we can tell them our side of the story,
and they will understand.
How when they twist everything we say?
Olivia... [dog barking]
[dog barking continues]
Logan.
Logan.
Logan.
[dramatic music]
It was the neighbor's dog.
How about we...
I was cooking earlier and I
didn't know you were coming.
How about you picture me in a sexy dress
and come here and gimme a kiss.
Olivia, this is serious.
I've been struggling all day trying
to figure out what are we going to do?
You should have called me.
I mean, this is a problem that
we both have to take care of.
I understand that.
What troubles me the most is,
the impact this will
have on my two daughters.
Those girls are the most important
thing to me in this world.
They're still very young,
too young to understand
something like this.
They found out their father
was having an affair,
pretty sure it shattered
their poor little hearts.
You just told me last week that
they were distancing themselves
and becoming more independent,
both them and their mother.
I understand what I said.
You know I said a lot of things,
but I don't know, man.
Maybe I just wasn't in
the right mind space.
When you get home,
why don't you just think
about it and call me later?
Do you think your
husband will expose us?
Babe, don't worry about
Logan. I'll deal with him.
I cannot handle a scandal, Olivia.
Scandal?
Do you know what this
would do to my two daughters
with my face exposed
all over social media?
We discussed this.
You said you have the right to be happy
and you took care of all
your daughters' expenses.
And besides that, you don't
have any moral obligations.
Whatever I said, it
don't matter anymore.
I don't understand
where this is coming from.
What do you mean?
The things that you're saying right now?
Look, I wish I had a better
way to explain all this,
to help you understand
it a little bit more.
I really do.
What am I supposed to do?
Encourage your husband not
to turn this into a scandal.
Please.
Try to get him to see that
revenge won't solve anything.
And then we can be together?
No, Olivia.
That's not gonna happen anymore.
What's the alternative?
Well,
I'll go back to my wife
if she takes me back, then you...
What am I supposed to do?
Hey, you can have your freedom.
You always talked about that.
You wanted to break
free from your husband.
Yes. I wanted to break
free to be with you.
I'm sorry. That's not
gonna happen anymore.
I can't.
So what do you expect me to
do? Just turn my feelings off.
- Olivia.
- No.
Olivia, I didn't think
it would come to this.
I thought we had something real.
We did, and we still do.
It's just that the
circumstances have changed now.
Yeah. You're gonna
leave me for your wife.
Olivia, I have to salvage
what's left of my family.
What about us?
What about the plans that we made?
What about the time we spent together?
Look, Olivia.
And I will cherish those moments forever,
but we can't keep living in
denial, hoping for a future
that we know it cannot be.
So what if I can't?
What if I can't live without you?
Look, you need to face this situation.
This is our reality now, Olivia.
No, this is not reality.
This is a nightmare.
I've been living in this
house all these years
in this mundane existence,
with a man who doesn't want children,
who wants everything and gives nothing.
And then you come in my life
and show me what love is.
And you just leave.
Talk to me.
Talk to me!
Say something.
Say something!
[dramatic music]
All my life I made mistakes.
Too many mistakes.
Now I have to bear the
weight of that guilt.
It's the most repulsive, disgraceful act
that a woman can commit.
What are you doing?
[dramatic music]
I'd rather end my own
life right now, right here,
than to accept that a love
I once thought was pure and beautiful,
has been reduced to this.
Olivia, baby don't talk like that.
How am I supposed to talk, huh?
How else should I talk like huh?
What else do I have?
What am I supposed to do?
I have nothing!
- No!
Nothing!
Olivia, no!
Olivia!
[Olivia screaming]
Stop! Give me the knife!
- No! No!
[dramatic music]
Desmond!
Desmond!
No!
Desmond!
Desmond!
Are you okay?
I gotta get something.
I gotta get something.
Okay. Good.
No! Desmond!
No!
Okay. Okay.
Oh no!
Come on Desmond.
Desmond!
Desmond! Des!
Okay. Okay. Okay.
No!
No! No!
I'll get something. I'll get
Desmond!
Desmond!
Desmond! No!
No! No!
I'll get something.
Come on. Come on.
Okay. Desmond!
Desmond!
Desmond!
Desmond!
No. No. No.
It's okay. It's okay.
Oh, no, no, no.
Come on baby. Come on baby.
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
[Desmond speaking indistinctly]
Okay.
Desmond!
Desmond!
Desmond!
[Olivia crying]
[slow dramatic music]
[water flowing]
[slow dramatic music continues]
[dramatic music]
[knocking]
Who is it?
- Chase.
Where's Logan?
- He's not here.
Cool. I can wait.
What's wrong with you?
Why your face look like that?
Shut the door Olivia.
Flies are buzzing around.
I see that you are dressed to impress.
Looking kind of dolled up.
You never dressed this
nice for my brother.
Who's the mystery guest?
Come on. You can tell me.
Let me in on your little secret.
Nothing?
Okay.
[chuckling]
Something does smell nice though.
Let me guess. Meatballs.
[dog barking]
Hey Olivia.
[dog barking continues]
There's a dog outside in the backyard.
You guys have a dog or something?
[eerie music]
Wait.
Hold up.
Did you guys adopt the dog?
No.
[dog barking]
No.
So if the dog isn't yours,
what is it doing here?
I mean, dogs don't show up to
strangers houses for nothing.
What have you done?
Did you kill someone?
Come on, tell me. Who is it?
Where's the body?
[Chase laughing]
Did you kill someone?
Girl, you should see your face. Priceless.
This is pretty sharp.
Is this the knife you used to kill him?
I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Damn.
Seriously, I thought you were cooking.
Why are you taking the vegetables away?
Come on, man.
I'm starving.
Really?
A house guest comes over and
you just randomly decide not
to finish cooking.
A bit cold, don't you think?
It's cool.
When my brother comes,
I'll have to let him know
to take another wife,
somebody who, I don't know,
enjoys cooking for his guest.
Oh!
Beer!
Now this is exactly what I needed.
You know, a cold beer on a warm day
is like pure bliss.
You know I've always
had a weakness for beer.
Especially at the beach.
Does that ring any bells?
You know me and Logan,
we would spend countless
days at the beach.
Those were the days.
We would make a fire,
buy a picnic with beer,
or we'll take a boat out
and sail to the horizon.
Just two brothers having fun.
And then you came along and
nothing was ever the same again.
God dammit.
I stain my shirt.
Do you mind giving me a hand?
You know it's quite amazing
that my brother gets
a wife all to himself.
Maybe I should consider
getting one just like you.
Absolutely flawless.
Not a stain whatsoever.
But you always had a
talent for fixing things.
You fixed me up real good, didn't you?
Well, at least you thought you did.
Remember?
Do you remember?
It was that night at the beach,
and my brother Logan
thought it was a good idea
to get me drunk for a good laugh.
What?
Another beer.
What are you trying to do?
Are you trying to get me drunk, Olivia?
Well, princess, I'll have to warn you
that it's gonna take a lot more
than two whole cans of beer
to get me drunk this time. [Phone alert]
It's been several years,
but I still recall that day so vividly.
The day you destroyed my
relationship with my brother.
"Keep that filthy kid away from me."
Those were your exact words.
Calling me a filthy kid.
I was drunk and I was
trying to have a good time,
and you call me a filthy kid!
[dramatic music]
Do you feel like that was
a good thing to do, huh?
Putting a wedge between me and my brother.
Putting me against my brother.
And, Logan never said anything,
but I could tell ever since that day
that things were just
different between me and him.
Just thinking about it all the time.
And you caused that!
You caused that! [Phone alert]
Where are you going, Olivia?
I'm talking to you!
Okay. And now you don't
have anything to say, huh?
All you ever wanted to talk
about was having children.
And all day, every day,
you constantly nagging my poor brother.
Shoving pictures of babies in his face.
Or my favorite, taking him
to the neighbor's house
and introducing him to
the neighbor's babies.
I just don't understand
how he dealt with it,
endured it for so goddamn long.
Shut up!
Wow. Wow. Wow. Well, now
the princess finally speaks.
Well, don't stop now.
Come on, say something.
Let me hear something, Olivia.
Hello? Oh, nothing.
And I thought that we were going
to have a delightful fucking dialogue.
[dramatic music]
[Olivia grunts] [face smacking]
[chuckling] The princess is feisty.
I love that.
I need you to get out of
here and leave right now!
Or what?
What will you do, Olivia?
I will tell your brother everything.
Everything.
The whole story.
Why are you so uptight?
We haven't even done anything yet.
You're not going anywhere.
We have a lot of catching up to do.
I wouldn't do that if I was you.
If you leave now,
then you missed a chance to meet
some pretty interested individuals.
There's a lady in particular,
and you have so much in common.
Ms. Julia Johnson.
[dramatic music]
Good girl. See, that's a smart one.
There's also some more people coming.
Someone you may not expect.
Mrs. Johnson's husband, Desmond Johnson.
Now, and you both know
each other quite well.
What am I saying?
Of course you do.
It's the man that you're sleeping with.
And let's not forget about
my dear old brother, Logan.
Logan. Logan. Logan.
They're all gonna be here tonight.
And I can't wait to see your
face when I tell everyone
that you are not as innocent as you look.
- Chase...
- Ah. Ah.
Chase.
There's a horse in the center
that I put some money on.
Shh.
Shh.
Shh.
[announcer speaking]
[announcer] But tackled on all sides.
They race up towards the line.
I have to learn how to save money.
Gambling is just not good for me.
Okay. So everything
that you said earlier,
you were just joking, right?
Why would I be joking?
So you invited everyone
to come here tonight?
Of course.
7:30 sharp.
[chuckling]
I'm going to expose every
little secret you have.
It looks like it's almost time.
They should be here any moment now.
So that's why you can't leave the house.
You can't escape this.
Things just have a way of
catching up to you sometimes.
Think about it.
So, Logan, he didn't
hire the private detective.
It was...
- Mhmm.
- [Olivia] It was...
- Come on.
It was, it was, it was, it was you.
Bingo!
I've been waiting for
this day for so long.
And then your little boyfriend,
I'm sure he was terrified
when he got the call.
So much that he text you
and warned you, didn't he?
And then that's when you
thought you would get
an Uber and run away.
My dear sister-in-law.
I would not have missed this
for anything in the world.
What will my brother do when he finds out
that his beautiful trophy
wife is having an affair?
I just get so excited thinking about it.
[knocking] Here we go.
Right on schedule. Chapter one begins now.
Please let me.
This brings me so much pleasure.
Mrs. Johnson. Please come in.
[dramatic music]
[Mrs. Johnson] Is Mr. Johnson here yet?
[Chase] No, but should
be here any minute.
I'm Chase Clark.
- Pleasure.
- I'm the one who text you.
And this is Olivia Clark.
My brother's wife.
Oh, I see.
Guess I'm supposed to
say nice to meet you.
Something tells me that I shouldn't.
Please take a seat.
[dramatic music]
[water flowing]
There you go.
Thank you.
Hey, just a heads up.
My brother is on his way
and I'm not sure what's
delaying your husband.
He should have been here by now.
But if you don't mind, I
wanna hold off on the details
until everybody's present.
Oh, I don't mind.
Good.
You and your husband are from
Montgomery County, right?
Yes, we are.
I actually love it there.
New Carrollton has its charm.
But I think Rockville is the best.
I used to have territory there.
- [Mrs. Johnson] Is that so?
- Mhmm.
[Mrs. Johnson] And
what's your profession?
I'm in liquor sales.
Interesting.
It truly is.
It allows you to encounter so many people
from so many different walks of life.
And you have to be able to understand
their basic psychology.
You have to be able to understand
the human mind in order to sell.
And you, do you work, Mrs. Clark?
No.
I'm sorry. I didn't catch that.
No, I do not.
You must have a lot on
your plate, Ms. Johnson.
How do you figure that?
I mean, with you being
in the medical field,
hospitals are hectic.
Then you come into this
beautiful home hosting events
and taking care of your children.
Your life must be pretty occupied.
You seem quite informed about my life.
I don't mean to pry, it's just...
I understand.
Did you manage to reach my husband yet?
No. I reached out to his secretary
and they said that he
should be in this evening.
He usually dropped in about this time,
even if he's out all day.
I see.
Do you know what time it is?
It is 7:40.
I wonder what's keeping them?
What's wrong, Mrs. Clark? Are you okay?
You're trembling.
Nothing.
[Chase] That means somebody's
walking over your grave.
It's nothing.
Are you sure? 'Cause
you seem quite uneasy.
It's just a chill. I'm fine.
You know, I wouldn't bother you.
We're all a bit on edge
waiting for Mr. Johnson.
Indeed. I understand
that waiting on someone
who's running late can be quite annoying.
Just take a breather, Mrs. Clark.
I'm fine. I'm fine.
I just need a moment.
Maybe, just, maybe a cup
of tea might ease your nerves.
Oh, that's a good idea.
One cup can do wonders.
I'm okay.
You know, when I was young
and we were late, we used
to have to write punctuality
is the politeness of princes
on the board a hundred times.
Punctuality is the
politeness of princes?
Yep. A hundred times.
Is that Shakespeare?
I don't know.
Sounds like something he'd say.
Either way.
It's crazy what we pick up
and take with us from school.
Yeah. The lesson of punctuality
will stick around for a while.
Absolutely. And in the world of sales,
punctuality is everything,
just like in the world
of princes, I suppose.
Okay. I really have
to tell you something.
It's very urgent.
Olivia, we're in the
middle of a conversation.
No, no, no. But it's very urgent.
I understand that it's important,
but it can wait a few minutes, okay.
- But Chase...
- I said...
We can wait a few more minutes
until Logan and Mr. Johnson arrive.
[dramatic music]
I think Brockville is
such a beautiful city.
Hi. Hi.
I would like to report...
- Hang up. Hang up right now.
No more phone tricks.
I was just fixing myself up.
Okay. But the door stays open.
[phone vibrating]
Phone.
[phone vibrating continues]
Hello.
[chuckling]
Yes. Yes. Everything is fine.
My sister-in-law called
you guys by mistake.
Yeah.
You want to talk to her?
Sure.
Hello.
Oh, no, no, no, no. It
was a mistake. I'm sorry.
Yes. I apologize.
Okay. All right. Bye.
Mrs. Johnson, do you want anything else?
Hey boy, what you doing here?
Lo. What's up, man?
Hey, I'm exhausted,
man. You know already?
Where you been?
I got a surprise for
everybody. It's gonna be awesome.
Hey, who this, who this?
Mrs. Johnson, this is my
big brother, Logan Clark.
Mrs. Johnson, you
fooling now. That's fancy.
Well, hey look, Mrs. Johnson,
you gonna be messing with this one,
Better be careful 'cause
he's a smooth operator.
Pardon me?
Pardon me? What? What?
Y'all ain't? Y'all ain't?
[mumbling]
Mrs. Johnson is here
for a serious matter.
Oh. Oh.
I'm sorry, Mrs. Johnson.
I assumed and you know when they assumed,
make an ass outta you.
- Stop, stop, stop.
- Right on.
Hey, I got something in the car.
Come on, help him get it out. Come on.
Come on, come on with your media muscles.
What is wrong with you? Why you always?
[Logan] Yeah.
[Chase] Lo, I really
need to talk to you, man.
[Logan] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
It can wait. It can wait.
It can't.
Yes, it can. It'll be awesome later.
Move it a little bit over to the left.
All right, but tell me
where to put things, man.
Come on. You get it all the time.
You gonna get a benefit.
You're gonna get the
benefits of it. Come on.
Lo, I need to talk to you.
Not now. Not now.
Hey, yo Liv! Liv, babe.
Come on here. Check this out.
Was at Best Buy. I found
one. You gonna love it.
Come on in, baby.
Now it's gonna take me a
while to get it together,
'cause it's like the
menu is like that thick
and I think it's written
in Chinese or something.
But it's gonna be great.
All we need is like an outlet.
A what?
You know, a way for
me to express myself.
I know what a goddamn outlet is.
It's behind the TV.
Oh, over there. Well, shoot.
We'll, we'll just run the
extension cord or something.
We'll figure it out.
- Bro. I need to talk to you.
- Later, bro.
We'll figure it out later.
Hey, you said that you knew exactly
why I called you and
your husband here today.
Yes.
Good.
While we wait for your husband,
I want to take my brother
outside and explain to him.
Oh.
Oh, what?
You haven't told him?
- No.
- Nothing?
- Not a single detail.
- Oh, wow.
Then this is gonna be interesting.
He is a good soul.
And this might hurt him.
Yeah. I'm sure it will.
Chase, please.
Please.
I mean, what's your
motivation behind all of this?
What motivation?
Yeah. What do you hope to gain?
That is a very peculiar question.
Especially coming from somebody like you.
I'm curious.
That's my brother, and this
is the right thing to do.
Oh, really. The right thing, you say.
Lo, I really need to talk to you.
- Not now, brother.
- It's important.
What is going on? Why
is it so important, huh?
I gotta get some more stuff outta...
Lo, I need to talk to you.
What, can't it wait?
No, it can't. It's important.
Why?
I prefer to talk to you outside.
All right.
Cloak and dagger stuff.
Excuse us. We're gonna
discuss things outside.
I think you and I
should have a little chat.
Please sit down.
Now you do know what your brother-in-law
is telling your husband outside, right?
He's telling him that you
have been having an
affair with my husband.
Of course, me as the betrayed wife,
I am supposed to harbor some
kind of animosity towards you.
But I don't.
Does that surprise you?
I mean, I don't necessarily care for you,
but I think you're just feeble and naive.
Your brother-in-law hates you.
Like he genuinely hates you.
How do you deal with a person
like that all the time?
I have something very
important to tell you.
Oh, I'm still talking.
See, I have several things
that I would like to express.
First, I knew my husband
was seeing somebody.
I just didn't know who,
but I had a pretty good
idea what you'd be like.
See, I've been married 14 years
and in that time you can come
to know a person thoroughly.
And honey, I know my husband.
Now he's a complex man,
and I admit there are aspects
of him that is quite charming.
See, I know he was seeing someone,
when he started to be exceptionally kind
and attentive at home.
See 'cause this has happened before.
Oh yeah, about 10 years
ago, then two years ago.
And the latest one was
a couple of weeks ago.
Now of course he don't
know I know any of this.
Now you.
What? Today is the day
he find out that I know.
Certainly the other two
women that he slept with
are all married.
But you, well, technically
you're not married either.
See, because if you were married,
you wouldn't have been captivated
by any other man but your husband.
You don't know my husband.
See 'cause if you knew my
husband, you would've known
about his intense desire to be worshiped.
That's the only reason
he had an affair with you.
Because you worshiped him.
Now I'm telling you all of this
because you are gonna put a stop to it all.
See, things are gonna be a little different
around here from now on,
because my husband loves only one person
in this entire world and it's me.
That's not true.
Sweetheart, don't be delusional.
Just because you don't believe it
doesn't mean it's not true.
That's not true.
I'm telling you this for your own good.
Stop! That's not true!
It is true.
Now let me tell you what's gonna happen,
when my husband arrives.
He's going to get down on his knees
and beg me to forgive him.
And he is gonna profess his love for me.
He's going to get down on his knees
and he's gonna express his desire
to come and stay with me.
Every time he kissed you
and professed his love for you,
he only did it because he
loves to see the admiration
on your face.
It fuels him.
When he sit back and closes his eyes
and convinces himself
that he is the greatest lover and hero.
Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
Don't say it again!
Don't be naive.
Now, have you considered
what's gonna happen to you now?
Your brother-in-law is gonna make sure
you don't have a penny after this divorce.
Do you have any idea
on how to earn an income?
Do you?
Do you have children Mrs. Clark?
What a shame.
You don't have anyone to love you.
You are all on your own.
I feel sorry for you. I truly do.
[dramatic music]
You never loved him.
What?
Never loved him.
Well, it depends on what
your definition of love is.
I mean, true love.
You obviously heard nothing I said.
[dramatic music]
Why?
Why?
Why?
Are you gonna say something?
I told you you couldn't trust her.
I've been telling you that shit for years
and you never listened.
She was untrustworthy then
and she's untrustworthy now.
- Chase.
What do you gotta say for yourself, huh?
Answer me.
Answer me.
[dramatic music] Answer me!
- Yo. What are you doing?
- Yo, what?
Stop! What are you doing?
- What's wrong with you?
- What are you doing?
What?
This is exactly what she
wants you to do. Think Lo.
You wanna go to jail? Think.
[dramatic music]
Jesus, I never thought I'd raised my hand
up against a woman.
Hey, this isn't on you.
She's the one to blame.
Yeah. I guess, but you
know, this is a bullshit day.
A lot's been thrown at me.
The ground is shifting out from under me.
I've been married to a
person for so many years
and I thought I knew who they were,
but I guess I didn't at all.
Let's just get this shit over with.
No, no, no, no, no.
Ol' boy not here yet.
Well, what time is
he supposed to be here?
I told him 7:30.
It's late as hell now.
Yeah, you're right. Maybe I
should call the office again.
No, I highly doubt he worked this late.
Guy like that running around
on different guy's women.
He ain't gonna show up, man.
He probably didn't get the message.
Oh no. He got the message.
How do you know?
He called her?
Did he?
Yeah.
When I got here, she was
already catching over.
She was gonna run Lo.
She was gonna leave you.
She was gonna leave you Lo.
Liv, did your boyfriend tell
you to meet you someplace?
Oh, I highly doubt that.
Probably left her. I
wouldn't put it past him.
Where is Desmond?
Where is he?
Where is he Liv?
Where is this cat?
[Chase] Where is he?
Say something. Where is he Liv?
Where is he?
Shut up! You're always talking!
I tried to tell you earlier.
He's over there!
What?
What am I looking at?
Where the hell is he?
He was right there.
Well, he isn't here anymore, is he?
Where's Desmond?
Where's my husband?
What is this bullshit?
What is going on here?
Baby?
- Say something.
[Chase] She's lying.
[Olivia laughing]
He's not here.
It's not real. It's not
real. It was a dream.
It was a
It was a dream.
Oh, yes.
Okay. It was a dream.
It was a dream.
Yes.
[laughing]
Yes.
Lowie! Bro you gotta see this.
[bright music]
There's blood.
- Oh my God.
That looks like blood.
Whose blood is it?
I don't know Lowie. There's a trail.
[Logan] That I mean,
it's going somewhere.
This is serious.
Tell me right now what's going on.
Where's my husband?
Where is my husband?
[speaking indistinctly]
[Logan] Someone call 911.
[Mrs. Johnson] Oh my God.
We need to get help fast.
[Chase] All right. Hello? Hello?
Yes. Yes. Someone is hurt badly.
Please just send someone. Now!
Wait, what?
I don't understand.
What are you saying?
He's at the hospital.
[Mrs. Johnson] We gotta
call the hospital now.
Which hospital?
[Chase] St. Mary's.
It's right down the street.
Oh, we gotta call right now.
Hello?
Yes. I'm Mrs. Johnson. That's my husband.
What?
He wanted you to tell me something?
Tell him I love him too.
I'll be right there.
I'm on my way. Yes.
Thank you.
What's happening?
Well, he's in the hospital.
Doctor said knife pierce his
lungs, but he's gonna be okay.
I mean, that still
sounds pretty risky to me.
I mean, it's always a
risk. But he's gonna be fine.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Did you say a knife?
Mhmm.
A knife pierced him.
All of this sounds so suspicious to me.
Listen, your husband must
be covering up for Olivia.
She must have stabbed him.
Why don't you leave this poor girl alone?
You are always stirring up some trouble.
I'm not trying to stir up any trouble.
But if she stabbed your husband...
Is she the type of person
to do something like that?
Is she?
I say if a woman is capable
of cheating on her husband,
then she's more than
capable of stabbing someone.
I'm just curious.
Why did you have an affair with my husband?
I mean, you must have known he was married.
I'm sorry.
That's it, huh?
Come on.
I'm sorry.
She stabs your husband in the chest
and she almost gives you a heart attack.
And all she can say is, I'm sorry.
I guess she's going in to have a good cry,
to feel sorry for herself.
Are you still gonna
take your husband back
after everything that's happened?
Don't you worry about what
I'm gonna decide, Mr. Clark.
You worry about keeping
your affairs in order.
I'm sorry, my affairs.
She's talking about Olivia.
She's to blame for all of this.
[slow dramatic music]
So babe, listen, I gotta
head out real quick.
I gotta take care of
something at the office.
Who's that girl?
Babe, she's nobody. Don't worry about it.
There's nothing to worry about, okay.
Don't tell me not to
worry about it. Who is she?
I promise you it's nothing.
I just gotta take care of something.
It's nothing to worry about.
Nothing to concern yourself.
Logan, who is she?
Okay. All right. Now look,
I'm gonna tell you something.
This is why I don't
like to telling you stuff
because you freak out,
but I'm gonna level with you. All right.
That was Abigail. It's
my ex-girlfriend. All right.
Ex-girlfriend.
Yes. See, freaking out already.
Babe, that's why I told
you like, calm down.
Abigail's my ex-girlfriend.
We got some business properties.
No, but what is she doing here?
Well, you know, me and Chase,
we get involved in things together.
And so Abigail, me, Chase,
we got into some businesses together
and Chase borrowed some money from her
and she's threatening
to take away our portion
of the business if he doesn't pay it back.
So I'm just gonna move
some things around at the office
and square it away so
we can keep our stuff.
That's all, baby.
That's not your responsibility.
That's Chase's responsibility.
See, I knew you'd say that.
He needs to pay her.
I knew you'd say that,
but you know it's Chase.
You know how Chase is.
He'll pay us back.
But I just gotta take care
of this. You know how he is.
No, but I keep...
Babe, I gotta do this. All right.
I'm gonna take care of this.
I'm gonna come back and we're gonna have
a beautiful sunset dinner, okay. Okay.
[kisses smacking]
Okay. I'll be back.
Is there anything in there she can take?
[snapping fingers] Mr. Clark?
Is there anything in there
she can possibly take?
Olivia. Olivia. Baby!
Mrs. Clark.
Liv!
Olivia! [Knocking]
Baby!
[knocking]
Baby, what are you doing?
- Mrs. Clark. Olivia!
- Open this door!
Shit!
What's wrong?
- She's cut herself.
- Oh my God.
Fuck babe. What are you doing?
- What do you want?
- I can help!
I'm a nurse! Get outta the way! Please!
[Logan] Hold tight, babe!
Hold on to her. Hold on to her.
[Mrs. Johnson] Mrs.
Clark, can you hear me?
You're okay. You're gonna be fine.
Olivia, answer the
woman's question, babe.
[Mrs. Johnson] I'm a nurse, okay.
I'm gonna take care of you.
Hold on to this for me.
You gotta first aid kit?
Yeah, there's one.
There's one right there.
Okay. I'll have to use them.
Oh my God. Okay.
You're gonna be fine.
All right.
Oh shit!
What do you need from me? What can I do?
Run the bath water. We
gotta go to the hospital.
Okay. What am I putting in here?
What the fuck am I putting in this bag?
Come on Olivia. Put some
pressure here for what?
What am I putting in this?
I don't know. Toothbrush, toothpaste,
Tupperware, something. Come on!
Y'all going to the hospital now?
Which one you going to?
St. Mary's? Where you going?
Baby I'm right behind you. Okay.
I'm on your bag right behind you.
[slow dramatic music]
[phone messaging]
Oh shoot. Babe I gotta go
into the office real quick.
On a Saturday?
Yeah. Yeah. Something just came up.
Gotta take care of it real quick.
I mean, it can't wait until Monday?
No, no.
It ain't too much but I
gotta take care of it now.
[phone alert]
Is everything okay?
Yeah, everything's fine.
Where are you going?
Gonna take care of
business at the office.
I told you that.
Don't worry about it. I'll be right back.
[phone alert]
Abigail.
- Logan.
- What's going on?
It is good to see you.
It's good to be seen.
You look a little tense.
You know my wife Liv.
- I am not in that.
- I know you ain't there.
Look, what happened to you.
So Chase is fucked up,
but I'm here to pay off the debt
so you don't take the shit from me, okay.
I mean, it seems like
with your tenseness,
you might not even be able
to handle all of that.
I'm just here for business, okay.
All right, well let's talk business.
Okay. You already know
before business talk.
Let me get my hug.
I already owe you like four or five
Let me get my hug.
Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
Logan I...
I know this is a lot, and
it feels like a bad dream.
But it's over now.
It's like going up a hill way too fast.
And then suddenly you're at the top
and it's a whole new fucking
world in front of you.
Lo! Come on man.
You we don't even get down like that.
Don't match those pants. Take it off, man.
This matches your pants better.
Look, it was a shock to both of us, okay.
I have an idea.
How about we go to Mexico for a few days,
you know, down to the Ensenada.
We love the beach.
You can lay in the sun
and we can drink some
Mexican beer and tequila.
Come on man. You remember that?
Listen. Come on.
I know this girl that
works down this hotel.
She can get us any gorgeous women we want.
I mean, absolutely superb.
Come on. You can have one, two,
you can have as many as you want.
They on me bro.
- Jesus, stop it Chase.
I'm joking.
No ladies. No ladies.
Just you and me okay.
You just don't understand do you?
Lo, I understand more
than anybody in this world.
This is our chance.
Let's take this road trip.
Family is everything.
You know that, bro.
What would mom think?
Actually, I think she would be happy
that it turned out like this.
You don't need Olivia.
Hey, what?
Lo, where are you going?
Hey, hey, hey. Lo, Lo, stop.
Let's go put some hot food
in you. Get you a steak.
You'll feel better. Great even.
Come on, man.
You can drink your coffee,
and I'll handle the
paperwork at the hospital.
You don't even like her, do you?
- Honestly, no.
- [Logan] Why?
Because my eyes are wide open,
and I can see what she's doing to you.
And what is she doing to me?
She's been playing you
since the first day you met.
I'm protecting you.
And how exactly are you doing that?
I exposed her, didn't I?
And how'd you do that?
I suspected her of cheating.
And I got all the proof for you.
I gave you all the proof.
How?
What do you mean how?
How'd you know that she was cheating?
Already told you how.
I put the private detector on her ass,
and he came back with the pictures.
How'd you know she was cheating
before you got the private detective?
- Why does it matter?
- How'd you do it, Chase?
The day you were with Abigail,
I saw Olivia with another man. Okay.
[Logan laughing]
- Oh shit. That's so funny.
- What?
There ain't no coincidences, bro.
What are you saying?
You fuckin' set me up.
You sound crazy right now.
Listen to yourself.
I was with Abigail.
We were waiting for you, Lo.
And then you came, I left,
and when I was walking down the street,
I saw Olivia with another man.
It's that simple.
- That simple?
- Yes.
How many phones you got, Chase?
One.
Bullshit. Turn over your pockets.
I'm not turning over my pocket.
Turn over your goddamn pockets.
I'm not turn... Get off me!
Be still.
Don't do this...
One.
Two.
Two phones.
This is your real phone.
The one that you use to
call me to meet Abigail.
The date and time of your choosing.
This is your bullshit burner phone
that you used to tell Liv
that her husband was seeing another woman.
You got what the fuck you wanted?
You plan this whole thing.
You wanted Olivia to leave me
so you can have her for yourself.
But you forgot one little thing.
- What's that?
- She don't love you, Chase.
She don't fucking love you.
She found a better man.
And that's what makes
you so angry, isn't it?
Hey, you got it wrong, Lo.
Do I?
Fuck you!
Lo, come on, man.
Just wait a minute. Wait! Wait! Wait!
What's the problem?
You are the problem, little brother.
All this time I see that you've
been manipulating this whole
thing, interjecting yourself
in my life and everything.
But you know my eyes are open now.
They're wide open.
They were closed, but they're open now.
I see everything now.
It's been you all along.
Everything I did, I did for you.
Bullshit.
I showed you all the pictures.
Pictures are fucking useless, man.
Me and my wife, we
built a house, a family.
We had a good thing going.
But you always trying to
get yourself in there.
Let alone sad thing is that
you're in love with my wife.
Admit it.
- Wait, what?
You love my wife.
How could you say that to me?
You can't even admit it, can it?
Big brother, all this
Cloak and Dagger bullshit,
and you can't even...
- No. No. Just stop.
Just stop. Shut your mouth!
You're right. Okay.
I've in love with her.
I've been in love with
her since the first day
I saw her on that boat, man.
She looked at me and
then, and I looked at her
and it was like, it was like time froze.
And I could have made her happy.
We could have been a couple, man.
And then you stepped in and
you fucked everything up!
Your own little brother.
You stole her from me, man.
The only thing that could
have made me happy, you took.
How the fuck can you say that, bro?
We were both there at the
same time when we met her.
I went over there so I could play shy guy
so she could talk to fucking you.
She didn't choose you.
She chose me, little shit!
And now you're talking about being happy.
I hope you happy about this shit.
Lo! Lo! Lo! Lo! Lo!
Get your fucking hands off me!
Why you doing this?
Listen.
She doesn't want to be with you anymore.
She doesn't even love you.
She's doing this to try to break us up.
She's fuckin' evil, bro. She's
a deceitful little bitch!
[face smacking]
[Chase coughing]
Don't you ever fuckin'
call her that again.
Stay the fuck away from me.
That's the first time
you have hit me, Lo.
If you weren't my brother,
I'll fuckin' kill you.
[Chase coughing]
Lo! Lo!
Wait, Lo don't do this! Lo!
[dramatic music]
