The Ex Next Door (2019) - full transcript

Katie Gatewood's love for her husband Dan is put to the test when Dan's obsessed ex-girlfriend Louisa moves into the house next door, intending to drive the happy couple apart by any means necessary.

Hello?

Good shot.

Okay he's dead.

Let's go get him.

That's another one for the fire.

Hello?

Hello?

Careful with
that one, it's fragile.

Put that one over there.

That's right, just take that
one into the living room.

Great, thank you.



Careful, careful.

That one's really fragile.

I know that one's
heavy, but just, yeah.

Take it over there.

Still no sign of our
mysterious neighbors?

Nope.

I put a note in the
welcoming basket, though.

Well, maybe they
don't wanna be bothered.

Aren't you curious
about who moved in?

I mean, how'd they'd
sell the house so fast?

They haven't even
buried him yet.

I'm sure we'll
find out soon enough.

That's how you do it.

You're listening to
Madison's most loved station



with me, your
host, Arlene Tucker

for the Tucker Talk Show.

Joining us now, children's
author and illustrator,

- Katie Gatewood.
- Hi.

Your husband,
Dan, is an architect, right?

He is.

He draws houses
and I draw people.

So what are you
doing for your next book?

Oh, it's kind
of a work in progress,

but it's about a
determined young boy.

I'm sure our listeners are

excited to read it soon.

Which brings us to
the big question,

do you have a
recipe for us today?

Actually, I do.

Eggplant parmesean.

- It's in the oven right now.
- Remember, we'll be

uploading the recipe
to our website.

Thank you to our guest,
children's writer

and illustrator Katie
Gatewood, for joining us.

Thank you so much for having me.

Eggplant parmesan.

- In the oven right now.
- You were listening.

- Yeah.
- How was I?

Perfect.

I think it went great.

Me too, babe.

- Where did you leave it?
- I left it right by

- the front door.
- I'll be back.

Thanks, babe.

Find it?

I got it.

Ladies and gentlemen,
join with me if you will

in the Father's prayer for
our dearly departed brother.

Our Father who art in heaven

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread

and forgive us our
trespasses as we

forgive those who
trespass against us.

Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

- Amen.
- Amen.

- Lily, I am so sorry.
- Oh.

You let me know if
you need anything.

Okay.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Poor Lily.

I wish I had gone over
there that morning.

Then you would have
been the one to find him.

And nothing would have changed.

I know, but I just
feel bad that she

found him like that.

Well baby, it's not
your responsibility.

I mean, how many times did
you cook something for him

and he never even touched it?

Well, maybe he
didn't like my cooking.

Your cooking?

Never.

Oh.

Is that Mr. Grimes?

- Hello?
- Oh,

that guy is unbelievable.

He squashed every project that
you've ever been involved in.

- I know.
- I hate him.

He has no appreciation
for how talented you are.

- I know.
- And what's he

doing right now?

He's probably
giving your project

to the guy that just
started last week.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you got it.

Okay.

- Well, he's done that.
- See?

- He's made me the boss.
- So?

Honey, I'm Chief Architect.

Oh my gosh, congratulations.

- Thank you.
- Honey, he acts like

you don't even exist.

He likes my work.

He's just got a funny
way of showing it.

See?

I told you I always
liked that guy.

Uh huh.

What's that smell?

Oh, God!

Oh, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Oh, no, no, no, no, babe, babe!

Get the mitts, get the mitts!

- Ah!
- Here, hold on,

hold on, hold on.

All right, just set it over
here, set it over here.

Oh.

Oh, no.

I worked so hard on that.

Here, let's clean this up.

Oh boy.

Looks like we're
going out tonight.

You think?

I wouldn't worry
about it, honey.

We left the windows open, right?

Yeah, but still.

- Two pinots.
- Thank you.

Of course.

Good night.

I swear I left the oven on low.

Babe, don't worry about it.

These things happen.

Besides, tonight we
should celebrate.

- Your new book.
- I'm still trying

to work out the ending, but,

you know, I really wanted
to write something about

- not giving up.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- No, I love it.
- Thank you.

Cheers to your new book.

To becoming Chief Architect.

- To Mart.
- To Mart.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Mm, that looks good.

Ah.

I believe this is mine.

And I believe this is mine, too.

- I needed a red.
- Uh huh, I'm sure you did.

Just like you needed
my favorite shirt.

By the way, have you
seen my pocket knife

- in the bedside drawer?
- Your man drawer?

No.

I made a point to
never go in there.

It's far too dangerous.

I could have swore
I put it in there.

Well, if you see
it, let me know.

All right, I gotta run.

Love you.

Have a good day,
Mr. Chief Architect.

You, too.

See you later.

Hi.

I've been meaning
to introduce myself.

We keep missing each other.

Louisa.

- Clover Drive.
- Oh, yes!

You moved into 170.

It's nice to finally meet you.

- I'm Katie.
- Yeah, it's nice

to meet you, too.

I wanted to thank you
for that fruit basket.

- That was so sweet of you.
- Oh yeah,

just something small to welcome
you to the neighborhood.

You are gonna love it.

It's friendly, quiet, safe.

Well, I don't wanna
interrupt your flow,

so I'll leave you to it.

Catch you later.
Yeah.

Hey, Katie.

- How you doing?
- I'm good.

Thanks, Patrick.

- Can I help you, ma'am?
- Hi!

- How are you?
- Not bad for week two.

I'm so proud of you.

- The store looks amazing.
- Thank you.

- How was the funeral?
- Small.

Yeah.

Oh, did you need more charcoal?

No, but I do need liner pens.

Oh, okay.

I think I should qualify

for a family discount.

Oh you get a loyalty discount.

You are my best customer.

Just hopefully not
my only customer.

- It's only been two weeks.
- I know.

Liner pens, they're in the back.

Come.

One second!

- Hey, there.
- Hi!

I just wanted to
return the good deed.

I made you a smoothie
with the fruit you got me.

Oh, thank you.

Do you wanna go for a run?

It's so nice outside.

Yeah, I was just in
the middle of yoga,

- but let me just grab my shoes.
- Okay, great.

Here.

You must get so much
inspiration living

in a place like this.

Oh, I do.

It's tough though,
when you work inside

and you wanna be
outside all day.

I know what you mean.

- What do you do?
- PR.

- Oh, public relations.
- People's reputations.

Damage control, mostly.

So is there a Mr. Louisa?

- That's complicated.
- I didn't mean to pry.

Well, let's just say I'm
trying to get over someone.

- Oh, you just broke up?
- You know,

we never actually broke up?

But when a guy can't
commit after 10 years.

10 years!

- That is way too long.
- I know.

He's worth it.

So what about you?

Who's the lucky guy?

Oh, he's pretty amazing.

He's kind,
considerate, handsome.

My sister says I talk about
him like I'm obsessed, but...

That's cute.

He sounds practically perfect.

- You'll have to meet him.
- I'd like that.

Ready?

Mrs. Gatewood!

Sorry I'm late.

Had to go to a
doctor's appointment.

Mrs. Gatewood?

Mrs. Gatewood?

Hello?

Alice?

Oh, my gosh, Alice!

Alice, can you hear me?

Wake up!

Oh my God.

You're breathing.

Stay with me, I'm
gonna go call 911!

We've lost her.

Dr. Forest,
dial 118, please.

Dr. Forest.

Hey, hey.

These things happen.

Who knew she had
a heart condition?

There's nothing you
could have done.

Wheelchair to the
second floor nurses' station.

Wheelchair to second
floor nurses' station.

So did Alice's family call?

Oh, yeah.

They're gonna hold
the wake tomorrow.

Oh.

I told them you'd
be out of town.

Yeah, I hate that
I'm not gonna be here,

especially after all of this.

I'll miss you.

Oh, babe, I'll miss you, too.

But you need this
project to go well.

And besides, I mean,
if I need company,

I have my sister here.

Although her shop...

It's not going well?

I just wish I could help
her bring in more customers.

I don't know how.

Yeah, well if I can do anything.

Maybe it needs a layout
change or something.

- What about a workshop?
- That's a great idea.

I mean, that'll get people
interested in the store.

I'm sure our new
neighbor would come.

- She seems really sweet.
- Oh yeah?

What's she like?

50s and two cats and
a collection of China.

Try late 20s and hot.

No way, in that house?

You better sit down!

You know, some guy's
been stringing her along

for 10 years?

Yeah, well maybe she's
just slow to take the hint.

Or maybe he's just
scared of commitment.

Yeah, see, I don't get that.

I mean when you want
somebody bad enough,

put a ring on it.

Sure wouldn't have
let you get away.

You're still
surprised I said yes.

You better have said yes.

I would have tracked
you down and find you.

So I've been
thinking about what you said.

- What was that?
- About moving on.

You said I should
stop wasting time

on losers who don't
appreciate me.

- I said that?
- Well, maybe not

in so many words.

The problem is, I
want what you have.

- Which is?
- A person who

cares about me.

Did we talk about Dan?

- I want that.
- Of course.

I just feel like I'm
always the one who's giving.

When am I gonna get
something in return?

You so deserve that, too.

I feel you.

I'm so happy to have
you all here, today.

Thank you for coming into
the studio to check it out.

Whether you're
beginners or advanced,

I'm really excited
to see your work.

And feel free to
exaggerate lines.

You don't have to
stay true to life.

Sometimes taking risks pays off.

Nice job.

In fact, in my next workshop,
we will discuss just that.

How all of you can
turn your passion

into a successful business.

But I'm afraid that's all
the time we have for today.

Thank you all so
much for coming.

Maybe I could come by tomorrow.

Not quite yet.

It's still a complete mess.

Boxes everywhere.

You know.
Yeah, no,

I mean, whenever's good for you.

Now, if I could
figure out my love life.

Oh, go ahead.

Hi.

That's great.

Yeah, we're just
having coffee at Birch.

It's Dan, he's right
around the corner.

Why don't you come join us?

- You get to meet my Dan.
- Amazing.

I'm just gonna use the restroom.

- I'll be right back.
- Okay.

- Hey, babe.
- Hey.

- So where's Louisa?
- She just ran to the...

Sorry, had to rush off.

Urgent business call.

Next one on me.

That's weird.
Yeah, what a shame.

Yeah, it's weird.

I used to date a
girl named Louisa.

Hey, what are you doing?

Hey, stop!

- Did you see who it was?
- No.

Nothing, just your
bike on the ground.

Oh, my God.

- What happened?
- It's okay.

I'm fine.

- You don't look fine.
- I just fell off my bike.

I mean, a few cuts and
bruises, but I'll live.

I'm sorry, you two
don't know each other.

Louisa, this is my husband, Dan.

Hi, Dan.

Well, you should probably
keep an eye on her.

A concussion can take
effect up to 24 hours

after a blow to the head.

Yeah, I'm gonna take
you to the hospital, now.

Well, I'll leave you guys to it.

Thank you.

Come on, let's go.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

See?

I told you it was
nothing to worry about.

You almost broke your wrist.

You're lucky it wasn't worse.

Good thing Louisa
came by when she did.

Speaking of which, you could
have been more friendly.

It's not like you.

Let's get you checked out.

What's on your mind?

You seem so distracted.

Oh yeah, just work.

Hey, you gonna be okay today?

I'm gonna be fine.

Well, I'll try to be home early.

Hey, you sure you're okay, babe?

Yeah.

Stop fussing.

- All right, I love you.
- I love you, too.

- Hi.
- Hey, stranger.

Look, I just wanted to
come over here and find out,

- well, ask you...
- Ask me what?

What are you doing here?

Well, it's a beautiful
neighborhood, isn't it?

So it's just a coincidence?

- I guess it is.
- Yeah, now you're friends

- with my wife?
- Oh, she's lovely.

Right.

So what is it?

So, why am I friends
with your wife,

- or why am I here?
- No, why are you here?

I needed a place to live.

I fell in love with this house.

- Uh huh.
- Doesn't bother you, does it?

No, it's fine.

It's just, this is
a good neighborhood.

See you around.

Neighbor.

- Hey.
- Hey, you taking off?

Yeah, I was just
about to text you.

- I can't play today.
- What's up?

I gotta talk to Katie
about something that came up.

Oh, it's no problem.

Just give me a call
and we'll reschedule.

Yeah, sure thing, man.

- Have a good round.
- Thanks,

- see you out there.
- Yeah.

- Hey, where are you?
- I'm just

at the doctors
getting checked out.

Hey, can you meet me at
the house in a half hour?

Why?

Because I need to talk to you.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Everything's fine, I just
had the locks changed.

They left a key for
you under the door mat.

I'll explain later, okay?

I love you.

I love you, too.

- Hey, babe.
- Hi!

- I got Chinese.
- My favorite.

- Those look great.
- Thank you.

Well, this is a rare treat.

You home early for dinner.

Well, I promised you I would be.

You said we needed to talk?

Yeah.

Hold on one second.

It's the office, I'm sorry.

This is Dan.

Oh God, he what?

Yeah, no, I'll get
there as soon as I can.

Yep, no problem.

Last minute client meeting.

- Tonight?
- Yeah.

- I'm sorry.
- No, no, I understand.

I mean, big promotions come
with new responsibilities.

I just wanted to have a
quiet evening with my wife.

Talk to you about a few things.

That sounds serious.

- Should I be worried?
- No.

Honestly, babe,
it's not a big deal.

- I can help you pack.
- That would be great.

By the way, why did you
have the locks changed?

We left a spare set
with our neighbor,

and after he died and
they emptied the house,

I don't know who has them.

- Better safe than sorry.
- Smart.

What is it?

I need to talk to
you about something.

And it's probably
nothing, but I don't wanna

keep a secret from you.

Okay.

Tell me what it is.

It's about Louisa.

Louisa.

- Next door Louisa?
- Yeah, she mention me?

- About last night?
- No, no, before that.

I don't understand what
you're talking about.

I used to know her.

- You knew her?
- We dated.

- So she was your girlfriend?
- No, no, no.

Nothing like that.

We went out a few times and
it didn't really go anywhere.

I mean it was years ago.

How come you didn't
just tell me last night?

I don't know, I was in shock.

She was right
there in our house.

She hadn't said anything.

Can I ask how she ended it?

Well, that's the thing
is that she didn't end it.

I did.

Or, I suppose I should have.

I should have told
her it was over,

but I didn't wanna
hurt her feelings.

So you ghosted her?

I'm not proud of it.

Well, I can just
go over there and

have a conversation with her.

Find out what her
intentions are.

I don't know, babe.

You think that's a good idea?

Well, why not?

I mean, she seems harmless.

Okay.

If you think so.

Listen, thank you
for understanding.

I love you.

I'm so glad
you came this morning.

Yeah, me too.

Thank you for inviting me.

- This course is beautiful.
- No problem.

So I've been meaning
to ask you something.

What?

Well Dan, he told me
that you two went out.

He did, did he?

I just wondered why you
didn't say anything before.

I thought it would upset you.

It was years and years ago.

And you guys have
such a great marriage,

I didn't really
wanna bring it up.

He did say he didn't
end it too well.

- I barely remember.
- Like he never...

We just, we stopped
texting and talking.

But like I said,
it was so long ago.

Plus, I have already
met someone new.

- Really?
- Uh huh.

Ooh, nice shot, girl.

I thought about what
you said about moving on,

and this guy is cute, and smart,

and we have been talking a lot.

I hope I get the
chance to meet him.

Of course.

So I mean, is
everything okay with us?

I would hate for this
to spoil our friendship.

Oh, yeah, no.

I mean, it was nothing.

Just like you said.

I was thinking that we
could get coffee sometime.

- Catch up, you and me.
- Yeah, I don't know, Louisa.

I just, I don't know if
that's such a, hey, Patrick.

Yeah, I'll check with Katie
and see if we're free.

So how's the book coming along?

Well, I'm halfway
through the illustrations,

and I'm working on
the last few pages.

Great, so you're almost done.

Yeah, I would say just
a couple more weeks.

That's great.

You know, I spoke
to Louisa today.

Oh, yeah?

- How'd that go?
- Good.

I asked her why she
had never mentioned

that you two went out.

Well, she said it
was no big deal.

She did?

Well, you seem
almost disappointed.

No, trust me.

I'm not.

At the driving range,

it's first come, first served.

Great.

I'm new to the area, but
my really good friend's

a member here, and says amazing
things about this course.

I'm sorry,
what's your name again?

- It's him, Dan Gatewood.
- Oh.

Well, his wife.

Hey.

- See who's taking the tour?
- Yeah, I saw her.

In fact, I'm seeing
too much of her.

- Oh yeah?
- Yeah.

What's the connection?

She's our new neighbor.

And she just dropped my name
as a reference to the club.

- Why would she do that?
- She's your neighbor, man.

What's the problem?

Yeah, but I used to date her.

Wow, really?

Yeah, now I get the
feeling she's just

following me around, like she's

still interested or something.

That sounds like a nightmare.

What are you gonna do?

No clue.

Well, you can
change your friends,

but you can't change your exes.

Who are you?

Yoda?

- Don't make eye contact.
- Too late.

Louisa?

You must be Finn.

So, what can I do for you?

Well, I guess that depends.

Well, tell me what sort
of things are you into?

Nothing like that.

Just to spend some
quality time together.

Two weeks.

I need you to tell
people that we're

in a long-distance relationship

and you just got back in town.

- Think you can handle that?
- Is that all?

Yes.

And you start tonight.

Let's go.

Okay.

Oh, my God!

- Patrick!
- Are you okay?

- What are you doing here?
- I had to talk to you.

It's about your husband
and your neighbor.

- Dan and Louisa?
- Yeah.

Look, I think you should
know that they're...

Dan already told me.

I know everything.

Thank you, though, Patrick.

Thank you again for tonight.

I really needed it
after that little scare.

Couldn't he just
knock on your front door

like normal people?

Speaking of which, Dan
had the locks changed.

- Can you hold onto our spare?
- Sure.

- Hey.
- Louisa.

Hey, mind if I join?

- Okay.
- Great.

Well, I was just
leaving, actually.

Another early start at the
store tomorrow morning.

Bye.

- Night.
- It was good seeing you.

- You, too.
- Oh, sorry.

Gosh.

So clumsy.

That's okay.

- Bye.
- Bye.

I'm sorry if I was butting in.

No, no, not at all.

I was just thinking
it's late and I should

- probably get home, too.
- Oh, wait,

can you just hold
on a little longer?

Finn will be here any second,

and you did say you
wanted to meet him.

- Yeah, sure.
- Great.

I'll buy you a drink.

- What do you want?
- A ginger ale.

Sure thing.

- Katie, this is Finn.
- Hi.

- Hi.
- Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Her husband is working tonight,

so it's just gonna
be the two of us.

Okay, well sorry for being late.

I was stuck on the
phone with a guy,

he's trying to leave his wife,

but doesn't know
how to tell her.

Men are the worst.

Don't you think?

Some can be.

I'm so glad you guys
could finally meet.

Yeah, Louisa's told
me so much about you.

I've really been
looking forward to this.

Same.

You're beautiful.

Would you guys excuse me?

I'm just gonna use the restroom.

Sure.

You're right, she's pretty.

Just keep up the act.

No problem.

Hey, your daily smoothie.

Are you okay?

- My stomach.
- What's wrong?

I think it's a
cramp, I don't know.

Come on.

All right, let's get you home.

Ooh, slow down.

You all right?

Hey, Dan.

Who's this?

Well, it should be your wife,

but she's not feeling
too well right now,

so I'm standing in for the day.

I'll grab her for you.

Hey, Katie, sweetheart.

- Katie, it's Dan.
- Katie?

I was jogging and I collapsed.

- I'm coming home.
- No, I'm fine.

Enjoy your golf.

- Did you call a doctor?
- I think it's a virus.

- It should pass.
- Here, let me

take that from you.

She's gonna have to
call you back, Dan.

Bye.

What's up?

This is the best carrot
cake I've ever had.

- You think so?
- It was really good.

Aw, you guys are too sweet.

Hi, honey.

You're obviously feeling better.

Yeah, I took a good, long nap.

You sounded really, really sick.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to concern you.

This is Finn,
Louisa's boyfriend.

He's gonna be in town
for a couple of weeks.

- Dan.
- Finn.

Dan, would you like
to try some cake?

- No, I'm not hungry.
- Maybe we should

wrap this up.

I just need to use
the restroom real quick.

Dan, I gotta say, your
wife is an amazing artist.

She showed me some of
her stuff inside earlier.

I am blown away.

- I mean, truly inspiring.
- You are far too kind.

I'm sorry, how long
are you in town for?

Oh, just a couple weeks.

But I'll be flying
back and forth.

I wanna spend as much time
with Louisa as possible.

And what it is that
you do again, exactly?

- I am in finance.
- Hey.

Hey.

Well, like my wife said,
we should wrap this up.

- Dan.
- Maybe we should get going.

Yeah, of course.

- Some other time.
- Okay.

Sure.

I'm sorry, he
must just be really tired.

- Sure.
- Don't worry about it.

- We'll walk ourselves home.
- Night.

You really think
it's a good idea

to spend this much
time with Louisa?

What is wrong with you?

I have never seen
you like this before.

I just wish you would
have told me that Louisa was

here with her boyfriend.

- That's all.
- You are working 24/7,

- and you are constantly away.
- It's my job.

Your job?

You're golfing all the time.

- He's a client!
- So what do you want me

to do, Dan?

Sit around and be at
your beck and call?

Now you're just twisting
everything I'm saying.

Which is what, exactly?

What are you saying?

Gatewood, Gatewood, Gatewood.

What?

What is she doing?

Why is she stealing my name?

Is Dan right?

This ends now!

Hey, what can I do for you?

Well, I just got
this in the mail.

But there must be some mistake.

It's yours, but it
has my name on it.

Oh, they do that all the time.

They mix up the names,
they Google the addresses.

Thanks for bringing them over.

I have never had
that happen before.

- It happens.
- But it is yours, right?

Not mine?

Maybe you should call
them and change the name.

To avoid any, I don't
know, further confusion.

Sure.

Right away.

Are you okay?

Sorry, my stomach's a mess.

Must be the stress.

I mean, I can't even be
sure he's playing golf.

You don't know that for sure.

I know some of his
clothes are missing.

They could be still in the wash.

That doesn't explain me
finding some woman's earring

in his toiletry bag.

I thought we had the
perfect marriage.

I can't imagine
Dan cheating on you.

I mean, he's been
distant, different.

- Ever since...
- Louisa?

My advice.

Be careful with your neighbors.

Particularly ones who
were once infatuated

with your husband.

I'm gonna go get the
rest of the easels.

Be right back.

Welcome home.

What is this?

Just a little
something to show my wife

that I love her.

Open it.

It's beautiful.

Right, but before you try it on,

I have a confession to make.

There was a pair of
earrings to match.

But like a dummy, I took
'em out to the golf course

and I lost one.

One sec.

This one?

That's the one.

I love you.

I love you.

You guys have such
a great marriage.

I mean, is everything
okay with us?

I would hate for this
to spoil our friendship.

Hey, your daily smoothie.

I don't know I
want what you have.

I want what you have.

I want what you have.

I want what you have.

Katie?

Surprise.

Louisa.

What are you doing here?

I joined.

- Didn't I tell you?
- No.

Oh, is everything all right?

Fine.

Are you sure?

I've dropped by your
place a couple of times.

Are you not running anymore?

I'm just taking a break.

Resting.

Well, we should
catch up sometime.

How's tomorrow?

- I can't, I'm sorry.
- Friday?

Friday I'm working.

My schedule's really packed.

But I'll call you
if anything changes.

Is Dan still working
those late nights?

He's good.

Can I ask you something?

Yeah, sure.

What's up?

When you first met
Louisa what happened?

We met at a New
Year's Eve party.

We went out a few
times after that.

That was it.

I don't know, I wasn't
really feeling it.

Do you think she was feeling it?

Babe, listen.

That was a long
time ago, all right?

There's nothing to worry about.

I love you, all right?

And we're about to have a party.

Let's not do this, okay?

No, you're right.

- Let's go.
- All right,

we gotta get ready.

So when are
you opening your studio?

- You are?
- Yeah.

What's the difference.

- Making me a mojito?
- Nope.

I don't know how you
girls drink this stuff.

We're due over there in 10.

You look absolutely gorgeous.

I'm gonna get my purse.

- Ready?
- Yeah.

- I got a thing for 'em.
- For toes, yes.

- It's sort of my thing.
- I don't sway.

You know like we have a son?

- It's kinda gross.
- Oh, I'll go.

- Very sweaty.
- Yeah.

Itchy.

We like itchy.

Cough makes me itch.

- Dan drags me out all the time.
- Yeah?

- Hey you guys.
- He loves that.

- I am so sorry we're late.
- Yeah.

- Yeah, well come on in.
- Yeah.

Thank you.

Hi.

- Welcome.
- Thank you.

- Hi, guys.
- Hey.

- Met you at the golf course.
- Oh, that's right.

It's so nice to see you again.

- I'm Josh's wife, Hillary.
- Hi Hillary, I'm Louisa.

- This is Finn.
- Hello.

Oh, why don't you
guys have a seat?

- Sure.
- Thank you very much.

- I'll go get some plates.
- Slide this down here.

- This looks so good.
- Mm.

- Wow, this is lovely.
- Kate's a wonderful cook.

She is a fantastic cook.

Have they finally all gone?

Why, do you want us to be alone?

No, Katie!

Katie!

Katie!

Katie, let me in!

That was not what it
looked like, all right?

Katie I was just
washing the dishes.

I thought it was you!

I didn't know!

Would you just let me in?

Please?

Katie I didn't do anything!

I was just standing
there washing the dishes.

I thought it was you!

Let me in!

- Out of my way.
- Katie, stop.

- Katie, Katie, stop.
- Don't even talk to me!

- Where are you going?
- I'm going to Mel's.

- It's not what you think.
- Good,

because what it
looks like is you two

- tripping down memory lane.
- I'm not interested in her.

But she is interested in you.

And you are happily
encouraging her.

- Why was she even here tonight?
- I don't know,

- I didn't invite her.
- Well, you let her in.

She was standing at the
front door all dressed up.

What else do you want me to do?

- Are you enjoying this?
- What?

- The attention.
- How can you even think that?

Because that's
what I'm beginning to think.

What?

You know what, Dan?

You said you never
finished it with her.

Now's your chance.

- Mel?
- Are you kidding me?

Katie, don't do this.

Katie, Katie.
No, Dan!

Just...

So the smoothie

in the fridge.

- For Katie, for your run?
- I'm going to bed.

Do you know what
carpet cleaner can do

when you drink it
in small doses?

- Good night, Finn.
- It kills.

I didn't sign up for this.

- We have a deal.
- No, we had a deal.

I'm gonna need more money.

Oh my God.

What have I done?

What have I done?

Oh my God, no, no, no.

Oh, God, okay.

Oh.

This wasn't the plan,
this wasn't the plan.

- Look, okay.
- Katie!

Okay, okay, okay.

Okay.

All right, okay.

All right.

Oh, oh my God!

He's dead!

Yes.

911, what's your emergency?

Oh, my God, he's dead!

He, he killed him.

I think he's dead.

So Miss Share,

can you tell me
what happened again?

My neighbor Dan walked
in on us in bed together,

and he went crazy.

- And the deceased?
- Finn Cooper.

My new boyfriend.

Now, why would your
neighbor kill your boyfriend?

Honestly, it's all my fault.

Why, ma'am?

Dan wanted me to move
into the house next door.

To be close to him.

I told him that it
was a terrible idea.

And then he came by last night?

Yes.

How did he get in?

Well, he has a key.

Oh.

Now, you had been at
a party next door?

Right, but that was earlier.

When I woke up, Dan
was standing over Finn.

And I tried to help him
but then he struck me

- and I blacked out.
- Hmm.

And when you came to?

- Well, I called you.
- Okay.

Do you mind if
Detective Evans and I

- take a look around upstairs?
- Please.

Well, the guy was here for sure.

His shirt's in the closet.

They are nicely ironed.

- They're not the boyfriend's?
- Not his size.

This guy's living some
kind of a double life

with two houses side-by-side.

Well, there's a neighbor waiting

to talk to you.

Says the husband did it.

Excuse me, sir.

I'm Detective King,
this is Detective Evans.

You mind if we ask
you a few questions?

Sure.

We heard that you
know about the murder

- that took place.
- Yeah, they're clearly

- having an affair over there.
- They.

It's Dan Gatewood and
the new girl at 170.

He parks his car over there
so his wife can't see them.

They spend all
this time together.

He buys her flowers and
all this kind of stuff.

And Katie won't leave
the son of a bitch,

'cause he's got her
under his thumb.

She had bruises all
over her the other week.

So you've seen evidence of
potential domestic violence?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Thank you, sir, you've
been very helpful.

Let's call the lab.

If we can tie Mr. Gatewood
to the crime scene,

then we'll have
enough for an arrest.

Dan Gatewood?

Yeah, what can I do for you?

You are under arrest for
the murder of Finn Cooper.

Who?

Put your hands behind your back.

Go ahead and cuff him.

You have the right
to remain silent.

- This is a mistake.
- Anything you say

can and will be used against
you in a court of law.

You have the right
to an attorney.

If you cannot
afford an attorney,

one will be assigned to you.

Do you understand these
rights as I've stated them

- thus far?
- Yeah.

We'll take you
down to the station

for booking and processing.

You guys are making a mistake.

Well, your lawyer can
talk to us about that.

Right this way.

- She's making it up.
- So where were you at?

I was at home.

Can anybody confirm that?

Your wife, maybe?

No, my wife wasn't there.

She left with her sister.

Why did she leave?

Because she thought
that there was something

going on with...

Look, this is a set up!

Dan, are you and Louisa
Share in a relationship?

What?

No, no, never.

I mean, we went out
a few times, yes.

But that was years ago!

Are you sure about that?

Because we found your
clothes in her bedroom.

- Are you kidding me?
- Your last chance, Dan.

Recognize this, Dan?

No, no, no, that can't be.

Because this was the
knife that was used

to kill Finn Cooper.

Oh, my God.

How did your fingerprints
get all over this knife, Dan?

I want my phone call.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

You're sure he didn't do it?

Dan would have
never killed Finn.

Never.

I just don't know
how to help him.

No, no, no, you
can't go back there.

That's not a good idea.

What if you see Louisa again?

You need some time to think.

No, I can't just sit here.

But you're right, I don't
even have any of my things.

I'll get them, you stay here.

I'm taking your car.

Together, we'll sort this out.

It's gonna be okay.

You do not go anywhere.

Promise?

Someone's gotta watch the store.

We'll figure this out, okay?

Dr. Forest,
dial 118, please.

- You keep fighting.
- Dr. Forest,

please dial 118.

I know this is a difficult time.

But if you're up to it,
the Detective would like

to ask you a few questions.

- About my sister?
- And your husband.

Thanks.

Well, Miss Share believes
that your husband

is trying to kill you
so that the two of them

- can be together.
- Kill me?

Nothing's going on between them.

So you are aware that they
had been involved before.

It was just a few dates.

We found traces
of perchloroethylene

and ammonium hydroxide
in containers

in your kitchen cabinets.

Now, normally these
chemicals are found

in household cleaning products,

but they are poisonous.

So?

So he could have
put it in your coffee,

- perhaps the food you eat.
- The smoothies.

Smoothies, sure.

Now, your sister
was driving your car

at the time of
the accident, yes?

- Correct.
- We have a witness

who saw the other
vehicle deliberately run

at full speed into the car
your sister was driving.

Now, we think this could
have been a professional hit

that had been intended for you.

Now, one of your neighbors
saw that they saw Dan

leave Louisa's home a
couple of weeks ago.

Do you know why he was there?

I need to talk to
my husband right now.

Okay.

- Hey, hey.
- Are you okay?

- Yeah, yeah.
- Did you ever go over there?

Yeah, I went over
there to ask her

why the hell she moved
in right next door.

I didn't think it was
just a coincidence.

But then she assured
me that it was.

And then she started
following me wherever I went.

Like, she showed up at the
grocery store, the golf course.

She said she loved
the neighborhood

and that she fell in
love with the house.

I mean, what else could I do?

- She's never gotten over you.
- You think?

We have to get you
out of this mess.

I should have never
left that night.

- Look, it's not your fault.
- What did you do

- after I left?
- Nothing.

I was at home.

Which means I don't
have an alibi.

Look, I even texted you
before I went to sleep.

But what good is that?

I don't know.

I'll find something.

- Some way, somehow.
- Look, you be careful.

She's dangerous.

I have to go.

- I love you.
- I love you.

I love you, all right?

Louisa Share.

Gatewood again?

She's using my name everywhere.

She's nuts!

Who are you, bitch?

Hello?

This proves my
husband's innocence.

I mean, it's taped evidence
he was home all night.

Look at the time stamp.

Our neighbor had the entire
house covered with cameras.

Well, this may be proof
that he didn't kill Finn,

but it's not proof that they
weren't in on it together.

I tell you what.

Have a seat over there.

Let me see what I can do.

Oh God, oh, I'm
so happy to see you!

Okay, it's okay.

It's over now.

- Thank you.
- Let's go.

Just gotta run by the
golf course and get my car.

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

I gotta go shower.

I'll be waiting.

Mrs.
Gatewood, it's Detective King.

- Oh, hello, Detective.
- Look, I wanted

to let you know that we've
issued an arrest warrant,

but we haven't been
able to locate her.

- I haven't seen her.
- We're looking for her,

but in the meantime
keep an eye out

and consider her
armed and dangerous.

Well, Dan should
be home any minute.

He's getting his car
from the impound lot.

I gotta go, someone's
in the house.

What are you doing in my home?

I know it's hard to hear,

- but Dan and I belong together.
- You're crazy.

I know you killed Finn and Mart.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

When are you gonna get
it through your head?

He doesn't want you!

Miss?

Please keep your hands
where we can see them.

Are you alone?

Is there anyone
else in the house?

Miss, are you okay?

Hey!

Hey!

Honey, what happened?

I came home and
she was in the house.

And then she lunged at me
and she was shaking me,

and then I pushed her down
the stairs, and she's,

- she...
- Are you okay?

Hey, babe, are you okay?

Yeah.

562!

Cell block two, inmate 562.

Inmate 562.

Package for you.

You guys doing okay over here?

Yeah.

More?

Yeah?

Everyone, I'd like
to make a toast.

First, to my sister.

Congratulations on the business.

- I'm really proud of you.
- Cheers.

We also have an announcement.

- It's a girl!
- It's a girl!

It's a girl!

Surprise!

Gonna get started?

- We have a play date.
- You wanna watch.
