To Have and to Hold (2006) - full transcript
On the surface, Meg and Tom Davidson are in a happy marriage. There is, however, an underlying tension between the two because of Meg's part-time job as a real estate agent, which was ...
Hey, honey...
don't be bad.
I am bad.
I know...
but that's just a...
a secret between me and you.
And I really do have to go.
- Honey, I'm home.
Yeah, I'm in here.
Hi.
I'll just be a minute.
Are you hungry?
- Um...
No, I just had some drinks
with clients so...
Ellie go down okay?
- Yeah, she was tired.
- Maybe I will get
something to eat.
- All right, I'll be in
in a minute.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Absolutely.
Well, now remember you said
you would not going to take
less than 375, but I went
ahead and I got you 400.
Is that all right?
Great.
Yeah,
Yeah, I'll bring
the papers by tomorrow.
Well, you're welcome.
Al
All right, bye.
- Got a second?
- Yeah.
- I'm a little upset.
- Why?
- Because when you started
here last year I thought you
were just another housewife
with too much time
on your hands.
Now, you're one of my
top agents.
- What can I say?
I'm a natural.
- But you haven't taken the
broker's course and you haven't
applied for your license.
Why not?
- I know it's cliche but
I'm having a hard balancing,
you know, home and work.
- Well, let me tempt you.
Do you want to show the
Bentley house?
- Wow. Are you serious?
- A couple named Corelli,
drove by and fell in love
with the place.
They want to see it tonight.
- Tonight.
Um...
- Is that a problem?
- No, no, no, no.
I can work it out.
- Okay.
- I just... I've got
to make a phone call, and...
- Well, do good.
- Thanks.
- You want to
grab a bite, after?
- I'll have to get home.
But maybe lunch sometime.
- Dinner's better.
Maybe next week?
- Umm...
- Hi, hi, hi.
It's Meg.
Is he there?
No, that's okay.
Just tell him something
came up, and he'll need to
pick up our daughter today.
- Okay, thanks.
- Bye.
I just love
this house, everything
about it.
It's just wonderful.
What are recent
comps in this neighborhood?
This is the most
expensive listing
south of Gibson.
It's also the most impressive.
I mean, let me tell you.
There're three properties that
have sold on this street
in the last four months.
Each of them sold within
two days of listing and each
seller thought they'd
undervalued their property.
This just came on
the market today.
- The problem is, we're going
out of town tomorrow.
We aren't going to be back
until next week.
- You know, go, have
dinner, call me at home later.
If you decide you want to
go forward, I'll make it
happen for you.
- All right, thanks.
Thank you.
- Mrs. Corelli.
- Thank you.
Talk to you later.
Now can I watch TV?
Sure, I'll be right in.
- So, do you think I should?
Should what?
- You know, get
serious about this.
Study for the exam and
get my broker's license.
George is very encouraging.
- It sounds like a lot
of work and you're already
stretched pretty thin.
- Really?
I think I'm doing pretty well.
- Well, it didn't
go so well tonight.
- I'm sorry.
It came up literally
last minute.
- But you assumed I'd be able
to pick up Ellie from school.
I mean, what if I couldn't?
- You told me this
morning you were free.
- But that can changed.
You get your broker's license,
it'll only get worse.
I mean, you were out three
nights last week with work.
And I don't think you've
cooked dinner in a week.
- What do you want me to do?
Quit?
Become a full time housewife?
- Maybe.
I'm not so sure I like you
working so close with George.
- I not even going
to comment on that.
- Hey.
"Mortgage Syndication Handbook."
No wonder you're
laughing up here so much.
- I'm sorry, I didn't mean
to go off like that.
I didn't mean any of that
stuff about George.
I don't even know
what I was thinking.
- Yeah, I couldn't
believe you said that.
I mean, I've been jealous of
you but I've never seen
you be jealous of me.
- Now I'm in trouble.
You like it?
- Yeah, I like it.
- Truce?
- Yeah.
Let the machine get it.
Hello.
Yes, yes, Mr. Corelli.
No, no, no, it's fine.
You do?
Yes. Well, I can be over
there in half an hour.
Okay. Thank you.
Bye.
- You're going to show someone
a house at this time of night?
- I know, honey.
They're leaving town
tomorrow morning.
This is a really a big sale.
I'm sorry.
I'll be back as soon as I can.
So, I go over
to their house at ten o'clock
last night, okay?
They fax it.
They accept the offer.
It was almost too easy.
George, you keep telling
me how great I am and
I'm going to start
believing you.
All right, I'll see
you at the office. Bye.
Here.
- Mom, why can't I
have chocolate cereal?
- 'Cause it's a bowl
of sugar, honey.
I can't believe you conned
your father into buying that.
Tell her it's
fortified with vitamins
and minerals.
- It's fortified with
vitamins and minerals.
- You're no help.
- Don't expect me until late.
Some of the boys from
New York are coming in.
- And I've got to
wine and dine 'em.
Poor you.
I thought that was next week.
- Yeah, it got pushed up.
I'll be back as soon as I can.
Congratulations on that sale.
- Thank you.
Lisa.
I know you're avoiding me.
Here's your notice.
I get the rent in three
days or you're out!
Well, well, well, well.
- Would you believe
I've missed you?
- Yeah...
Yeah...
I bet.
Ha.
So... what?
You need money...?
Or you lost your job...?
Or, could it be
your 'boyfriend' left you?
- Now I remember why I left you.
You're such a jerk.
- Ha, ha, ha.
- Why can't you just accept
that I've missed you?
- Because, Lisa,
everything that comes out
of your mouth is
guaranteed to be a lie.
Everything.
- So, if I said that
I wanted your bod,
right here, right now,
would that be a lie?
- Guaranteed.
But I can live with that.
I can live it it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Slow down please.
You know I'm in a relationship.
- Right.
Straight, old, married guy.
Whoo! That's a whole
bunch of fun I bet.
- He loves me.
S
Ha ha ha.
I've got some blow in the
bedroom, wanna do a bone?
No.
- How much?
- How much what?
- How much do you
need to borrow?
- I did miss you.
Straight up.
- Come on, how much?
- I got a three day
notice today so,
enough to cover my rent.
- Who would'a thought?
You move back in here, you
won't have to worry about
paying rent.
- You want to go over
the reasons I moved out
in the first place?
- Pass.
Let's go out and party instead.
Party, yeah.
Let's go.
- Sure.
- Hey, relax.
Here's your rent.
But my offer still stands.
What'd I tell you?
I told you he'd use
ya and he'd dump ya.
Right?
I know people.
Come on.
Hey, Sally, tell
Stevie I wasn't feeling
- so good and I went home.
- And he shouldn't
worry about you, right?
Right.
See you later.
You're late.
What about this place?
Let's go in here for a drink.
No, it's so lame.
C'mon, let's go.
Okay, we have to be very quiet.
The neighbors can
hear everything.
I've got some vodka.
Here let me take your coat.
- It's okay, I'll keep it on.
- You're not staying?
- That's what I wanted
to talk to you about.
We can't see each other anymore.
- Okay, let's not do
this again, all right?
I don't care how much older
you are, I love you.
- I need to try and
make my marriage work.
- You bastard.
- Lisa...
- You bastard!
You bastard!
- Lisa, listen, calm down!
Just calm down!
I'm sorry, okay?
I'm sorry!
I love my wife,
and I don't want to
leave my child.
- Don't do this to me, Tom.
Please, not now.
- It's better this way.
- No.
I... I love you.
I really do.
- You'll find somebody else.
Someone who can love you back..
- Nooo...
- Lisa, please.
- Why... why not?
We're over, right?
Why not just grab one
more for the road?
- Lisa, don't...
Stop it!
- No...
- We're not over!
We're not!
- I'm sorry....
- We're not over!
Hi, honey.
You had a rough night
entertaining the boys?
- I'm getting too old for this.
- Well, come on, you want
me to bring you some tea
or something?
- Want to have a drink?
- My god, Tom,
you do not need another drink.
- Only had one
drink, officer, I swear.
- Come on, come on.
You need to go to bed.
- Want to come?
- No, not with you
like this.
Come on.
You gotta go to
work in the morning.
- Good morning, Tiger.
- Wow, breakfast in bed.
What's the occasion?
- You are three seconds
away from wearing Eggs Benedict.
- Happy anniversary?
- Good boy.
- I knew that.
I was saving your present
for the party tonight.
- Well, maybe I've got
a present for you right now.
Don't you have to go to work?
- let me show
you how I close a deal.
Line two.
A woman named Lisa.
Tom, do you want me
to take a message?
- No, I'll take it.
You can't call me here.
- I want to apologize
for last night.
I don't want us to end that way.
- Forget it.
- Do you think we
can get together,
you know, just to ta
I promise I won't get crazy.
- I think it's better
if we just leave it be.
- I'm afraid, Tom.
Do you think I could
call you sometime?
You know, talk things through.
- No.
Don't call me.
Goodbye, Lisa.
- Thank you.
Thanks.
"Don't be afraid.
It's best this way.
Take care.
Please don't cal
- NO-O-O-O!
NO! NO! NO! NO!
- What's up?
You know anyone who
wants one of these things?
I got like 10 of them
for next to nothing,
crackhead special.
What the hell happened
to you last night?
- I felt sick so I went home.
- Yeah?
I heard you got into a car
with some guy, drove off.
- I took a cab.
- Black Beemer, nice cab.
Tell me something, Lisa,
where does that boyfriend
take you that I don't?
I'm just asking a question here.
- Screw him.
I don't want to talk about him.
- Yeah!
Level eight, ba-by!
What... what's the matter?
Was he mean to you?
Jesus.
Jesus.
- Nice?
- He did this to you?
- I did it to
myself, what do you think?
- Let me see.
It's okay.
You want me to mess him up?
Yeah?
Yeah.
Let me see.
It's okay.
Stevie, what's up, man?
Nothing, man.
Same old.
How's the new gig?
- I love it, man.
The girls are gorgeous.
I only have to pound on
a couple of customer every now
and then, you know what I mean?
- Is that a bad
thing or a good thing?
- What's a good thing, man?
I owe you one, man.
I owe you one.
- Yeah.
I might take you up on that.
- Whaddya need?
- Justice.
Yeah, justice.
You know, the wheels
of Karma set in motion.
- How much justice?
- I don't know.
Maybe just this side
of broken bones.
Well, if you er a
little, that's cool, too.
- For you...
no problem, bro.
- Hah.
- Solid.
- I'll be... I'll be in touch.
Hi, honey.
Sorry, I'm late.
- Hey, where've you been?
I've been worried sick.
- I had to make a very
important stop to make.
- They're beautiful.
- I love you.
- Love you, too.
Honey, go get ready.
The guest are almost here.
- Right.
Wow.
Now why don't you
were something like this
in the office?
- Because you have trouble
focusing as it is, George.
- You still look great.
- Thanks.
Hey, Tom.
I've got a little
surprise for you.
- Hi, Mr. Davidson.
Long time no see.
- Meg, you're just in time
to see your husband blush.
- Am I?
- Erica's all grown up.
- And taking theatre at college.
Great!
How are you liking school?
- I love it, except for classes.
- Okay, you have your
priorities s
So, may I have a little drink?
Sure, a glass of wine?
- Stoli, rocks.
- They just grow up so fast.
Meg!
There you are.
I've been trying to get a
dance with you for an hour.
You know, I gotta
a couple things to check on
in here, Stan,
but when I come back out,
- I promise.
- Okay, you're on.
All right with you?
Take this ice out
- to the bar for me?
- Yeah.
I hope you gave Tom next
Wednesday night off.
- My god, what is it?
Like, bowling for beer or
cage fighting, pay per view?
- Better - the New York
group are coming to town,
and we must wine and dine.
- Really? I thought
that was the other night.
Nope, this Wednesday.
- And don't expect
Tom before midnight.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- May I?
- Sure.
Your husband's real
smooth, Mrs. Davidson.
- Yeah, I know.
Well, little Erica really
seems to like you.
- Well, of course, she does.
I'm smooth.
- That you are.
Hey, listen, Stan said I have
to let you wine and dine
the New York group
Wednesday night.
- Right.
- Well, I though you
did that the other night?
- Um... that was the meeting
to set the meeting.
- A meeting to set the meeting?
- The other night was
a scout group and the main
contingent is still to come.
You are smooth.
Hold it, hold it, everybody!
Everybody, I'd like
to make a speech.
Hold on, it's about my wife.
Meg, come on here.
Come up here, Sweetheart.
My partner.
My friend.
- My lover.
- Whahoo!
My wife.
You keep me on the
straight and narrow.
I love you.
- I love you.
Happy Anniversary.
Did you...
did you see Joanie?
- Man, can she ever dance, wow.
- That was so much fun.
- Yeah, it was.
And you, you are the
bestest, most sexiest,
most beautifulest wife
I ever had.
- Come on.
My god, but you've
had a lot to drink.
- Not so much that I can't
take care of business.
- I know but slow down, cowboy.
Come on.
I'll be right back, okay?
- I'll be ready to rock.
Let that be a warning to you.
- Are you still with us?
- Yeah.
How was I?
- The earth moved.
- Really?
That's good.
- Well, happy anniversary.
- Happy, happy...
love you.
Uhm?
Tom?
Don't make a sound!
Put the knife down
and get on the floor.
I'm just here for your stuff.
I'm not here to hurt anybody.
Okay?
- Ulp......
- TOM!
TOM...!
- Mommy!
- Ellie, go back
inside your room!
- TOM!
What'cha got?
His name's Renfrew,
Derek K., 26.
Has an arms-length sheet
for break-ins, thefts,
assaults, you name it.
He had a bat, and she took
him out with a kitchen knife.
- Well, that's one tough lady.
- It's like a dream...
slow-motion like a bad dream.
Um... I can't get him
out of my head.
It'll take some time.
You might want to talk to
someone, a professional.
Mrs. Davidson, I'm going to
need you to come downtown
with me to take
a formal statement.
- Yeah, they said that.
- It's up to you, but if
you want an attorney present,
you can have one.
- My husband called
someone from his firm.
- Is he here?
- He took my, um...
our daughter to
a neighbor's house,
and he'll be right back.
What if I hadn't
grabbed the knife?
- You're very lucky.
Okay, it's all done.
The DA think
justifiable homicide.
- So, that's it?
- Routine follow-up.
The guy had a burglary record.
- Come on, let's go home.
- I don't want to go
there just yet, okay?
- I understand.
We'll go to a hotel.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Thanks, Mike.
Thanks for coming
No problem.
Meg, I know it's going
to hurt for a while,
but remember - that guy
could've hurt your family.
He could have
taken your daughter.
You did what you had to do.
- Okay, thanks.
- Thanks.
- Okay.
Meg.
I just found out.
Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm here.
- I thought you might
want some company.
- Sure.
- Is this where he came through?
- Yeah, I don't want
to get into that.
- You know, let's
get out of here.
Let me take you to lunch.
- You need to get
out of this house.
- I'd feel better about it
when it's all finished here.
Okay.
Then let's put all this
stuff away and...
I will pour us a glass of wine.
- Sure.
I've got it right in front
of me and it says, um...
hold on a second?
Tina, what's the name of
that property on Kinglsey?
- Palmer house and it's sold.
You're late for
your two o'clock.
- I don't have a two o'clock.
- Check your calendar.
Aw, jeez.
I'll have to get back
to you on that, okay?
Thanks.
- Hey, it's me.
No one's here.
He just called, he
said they were going to leave.
They've been waiting
for almost an hour.
- No one's here.
- What address are you at?
- 722 Upper Darby.
- Wrong house, Bradley is
over across the bridge.
- Okay, um...
All right, well, just tell
them that I'm sorry, okay?
- Okay.
When you're not
messing something up,
what are you thinking about?
- Him.
Killing him.
You know, the sound that he
made when I stabbed him.
The way he slumped to the
ground, and just fell over.
And then, on top of everything,
I have this sense of
foreboding, you know,
like... like something's
going to happen, and that
was just the first thing.
- What do you
think might happen?
- You know, my daughter
gets kidnapped or killed,
and my husband has
a car accident
or the house burns down.
I don't know.
Like the...
Like the door to badness
has been opened and, you know,
if that could happen
then, you know,
why not something else?
- Does it ever feel good
that you were strong enough
to act like you did?
- I just keep
thinking about him.
Yeah, Ellie will love that.
That'll be great Mom.
Okay, I'll see you Sunday.
Okay.
You know, I think I'm going
to call the hotel back because
if you want the Spa Package
you have to pre-register.
- And we want the spa package.
Yeah.
- I'm just going to do one
last check in the house
and I'll be right back.
- Okay.
Hi.
Yeah.
- I don't know
whose earring it is!
There are women I work
with, for god's sake!
I gave Denise a ride home the
other night - maybe it's hers.
- Why? Why did you give
Denise a ride home?
- Because her car
was in the shop!
- Why didn't you tell me?
- Why would I?
I mean, what is the big deal?
- Well, how could she lose
an earring in the car?
- I don't know!
Maybe it came off when she
reached in the back seat
for her briefcase.
Let's just sit down, okay?
Maybe it's me, but I have been
feeling for a while like...
like you're just not
telling me everything.
Are you involved in
something illegal?
- What?
- Just... I mean, the guy
that broke into our house,
could he have be after you?
- I'm not involved
in anything illegal.
The police said it was
a random break-in with
no connection to us whatsoever.
- Okay, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I just feel like
I'm going crazy.
Okay.
- No, they're not
knock-offs, man.
They're absolutely real.
Just look at 'em you can tell.
Yeah, all right then.
Tonight, I'll be around.
Call me or not.
I'll be here.
- Whoa. I thought you said
we were going out.
I'm not going to sit around
here all night while you
wait for some deal.
- That's exactly what
you're going to do.
- Really?
You think you own me?
- That's why I left you in
the first place, dumb ass.
- Who are you calling?
- None of your business.
Don't... don't mess with me.
Who are you calling?
- Tom.
He'll meet me for a drink.
- LISTEN TO ME!
All right, listen to me.
You're not to see him or
speak to him ever again.
Do you understand me?
- Or what?
You're going to beat me up, too?
- You remember when you
wanted to mess him up because
of what he did to you?
- Yeah?
- Well, I did it.
I hired somebody.
- What!
- Yeah, the guy was supposed
to beat him up after work.
Instead he goes to
the guy's house.
- Ohmigod.
What happened to Tom?
- He's fine, Lisa, he's okay.
- Yeah... and?
- My guy got killed!
Your boyfriend's
wife killed him.
- She... she killed him?
- Yeah, she did a good job.
She stuck him with
a kitchen knife.
Okay, listen to me.
Yes. You wanted me
to mess him up.
I got a guy to do it, Lisa.
That guy's dead.
We got a big problem.
It's going to be okay, Lisa.
All you have to do is...
Listen, all you have to do
is stay away from him.
Either way, we're
in this together.
We're in it together.
Yeah, we are.
Stay away from him, Lisa.
This project is
going to be so hot.
It's going to be
beautiful, just beautiful.
- They'll practically
sell themselves.
- Probably.
- Do you want the listing?
- Are you kidding?
- Yours exclusively,
just say yes.
- This is incredible.
It's like, a great opportunity.
- So, we have a deal?
I don't know, George.
I just don't know if I'm
ready to come back to work,
that much.
- Why not?
- Look at me.
Don't I look tired?
- You look great.
- Go on, tell the truth.
- Okay, maybe a little tired.
- I just...
I haven't been sleeping much
and I've been scattered,
and I just think you need
somebody who's on top of things.
So I'm going to pass.
Nice little gun, not much kick.
- I haven't shot
a gun since summer camp.
- Step up to the rail.
Remember, let out your breath
as you squeeze the trigger.
- Did I hit it?
- No, not yet.
Try again.
Don't hold the gun so tight.
Gently apply pressure to the
trigger until it fires.
There you go!
You take the course here,
you'll be fine.
- Thanks, Mike, I appreciate
you helping me out.
- I'm happy to do it.
We should get Meg
down here, too.
- I don't know.
She's got a thing about guns.
- She doesn't know
you're getting this?
- I'll tell her eventually
but since the break-in
I just haven't felt safe.
Hopefully I won't need it.
- Hi, Daddy!
- Hi.
Okay, honey, go up
and wash your hands.
- How's my little girl?
- Good.
- Are you good?
- Hum.
- Hum.
- Can I finish my show?
- You can't go against the boss.
Go on, kiddo.
- I'll put this out.
Did you get vegetable mushu?
- Yes.
How come you didn't retu
- Did you call the office?
- Twice.
No one told you?
- I was running
in and out all day.
I must have spaced.
- Sounds like you're
getting back into the
swing of things.
- Yeah, I'm trying.
Still not there.
- Well, take your time.
I kinda like having
you home at night.
Hello.
Yeah.
She did?
Hold on a second.
A Detective Wilson
returning your phone call?
- Hi, thanks for
calling me back.
Um...
no.
I was wondering if I could see
a copy of the police report.
No, I'm just curious.
Great.
Okay, thank you.
- You called to get a
copy of the police report?
- Yeah, why wouldn't I?
It's been hard enough
for you to get over this.
I mean, I just don't see
the good in wallowing
in the details.
- Well, maybe there are
some things that just
still don't make sense.
You know, there's never been
a burglary like this in this
neighborhood, ever.
And burglars, they don't
want to meet people.
They don't want confrontation.
- We've been through
this with the police.
Meg, you're starting
to obsess about this.
You have to put this behind you.
- It's easy for you to say.
You were upstairs
drunk and asleep.
- Now, you're blaming me.
You know what?
You're starting to
really worry me.
- You know, you want
your old life back. Fine.
But I was almost killed
and you just act like
you couldn't care less.
I'm going to go
to Joanie's, okay?
And you can do all this.
And you can put Ellie to bed.
And then you can sleep
down here tonight.
Wilson >
There's not much here.
I think you'll
find it pretty dry.
Thank you.
Um... can I ask you a question?
This man, Renfrew, does
he have family here?
Yes, he does.
- Well, um... is there
some way I can contact them?
- I'm sorry,
Mrs. Davidson, I can't
help you with that.
Listen, you ask any cop
who's ever had to shoot
somebody, it's tough.
It's always tough and the
only thing that makes it
better is time.
- Yeah, they said that.
- Okay. Well, you can
have a seat here.
- Hey, George.
>
- I thought I'd surprise Meg.
Kidnap her for
a nice dinner out.
- That sounds great
but she's not here.
I haven't seen her
in a couple days.
- Isn't she out
showing properties?
She said things were picking up.
- Actually, not.
I wanted her to take over
this big condo project
but she passed.
Sorry.
- Thanks.
- Sweetheart, are you sure
Mommy didn't say where she
was going to be today?
- She didn't?
- Can I have another cookie?
- Another one?
All right, one more.
That's it.
Your mom will kill me.

Meg, I dropped by your
office to surprise you.
I'm home now with Ellie.
Where are you?
Call me.
Joanie, it's Tom.
Yeah.
Is Meg with you?
You don't know where she is?
Okay,
thanks.
Hi.
Hi.
Where have you been?
- Um... I was at the
library, sorry.
Did you guys eat dinner?
- Yeah.
"Ordinary Killers"
"Women Who Kill"?
Jesus, Meg, I don't
believe this.
- What is it you don't believe?
- This, obsession.
I went by your office today.
I was going to take you
out for a nice dinner.
I had a babysitter for Ellie.
You weren't there.
George, said you hadn't
been there in days.
- Ellie's in bed?
- Yes, I told her
you'd kiss her goodnight.
Why couldn't you
tell me where you were?
- You know, Tom, after
you blew up last night,
I didn't want to tell you
what I was up to at all.
- Which was...?
- Researching.
Finding out anything I can
about normal people
who've killed somebody.
- Does your therapist
support this?
- I'm not seeing her anymore.
She wasn't helping.
- Well, I think you should
go back to her, Meg, because
I'm afraid you're losing it.
- Stop criticizing me.
I'm not losing it.
And why don't you
read one of these?
You know, what I'm going
through is not unusual.
I'm sorry if this is all
inconvenient for you.
Chapman called
about the deposition.
He wants to know if
you can reschedule.
- Tell him no.
Nicely, but no.
You've had
three calls from some woman,
sounds young.
She doesn't want to
leave a message,
won't give her name,
she just asks for you.
- Don't put her through,
even if I'm here.
- Okay.
Hello?
Anyone here?
Hello?
I'm not finished packin' it yet.
I thought you weren't
coming by 'til tomorrow.
It's going to take me
the rest of the day.
- I must have gotten
the day mixed up.
- You can take some
of it now, if you want.
- No, no.
That's all right.
Thanks, sorry about that.
- What did I tell you?
- Excuse me?
- I'm sorry... I thought you
were somebody else.
- Hello!
Anybody home?
- Daddy's home!
Daddy's home!
- Ha!
Hello, my sweetheart.
How are you?
- Good.
- You're good.
Look at these.
- Pretty flowers.
- Who do you think they're for?
- Mommy.
- That's right, for mommy.
Can I take you away
from all of this?
- Well, this is very nice, sir.
- I would like to take
my family out to dinner.
Where would you like to go?
- Burger Town!
- Burger Town.
Mmmmmm.
Onion rings.
- It'll be nice to get out.
Onion rings sound great.
- Ha, ha, ha.
Onion rings it is.
- And burgers.
- And burgers and milkshakes.
- So, what was so funny
at the register tonight?
- Where?
- When you were paying
the bill at Burger Town.
You were talking to that girl
and you both started laughing.
- I don't know.
I told some dumb joke.
I think she was
flirting with me.
- Flirting?
She was all of 20.
- What can I say?
It was nothing.
- Don't make a habit of it.
You'll embarrass yourself.
- Are you coming to bed?
- I'm not really that tired.
I'm just going to go
downstairs and read.
- Hi.
In Chicago.
I need a number for 'Tommy's'.
- Hi.
- How are you doing?
- Good.
Grapefruit and gin.
Half a shot.
- One gin and juice, light.
- So, this is the
famous 'Tommy's'
I don't know how
famous we are, but you should
check us out at night,
it's pretty jumping.
- Have you worked here long?
- I'm not a lifer,
but I've been here awhile.
- Um... I was wondering if you
could help me with something.
Do you know this guy?
- No.
I've never seen him before.
- What about the girl?
- No, sorry.
The picture's definitely
taken here, but it
could've been years ago.
Looks like our Halloween bash.
Why are you trying
to find the guy?
- He's a friend of the family
and we just lost touch.
Hey, bartender!
Can we get another round?
- Excuse me.
- Yeah, no problem.
This place is dead.
- Just like our relationship.
- Nice.
- You know that woman?
- What woman?
- The one you just bumped into?
- No, why?
- She had a picture of you,
taken with some guy at our
Halloween party here.
- What did she want?
- She was looking for the guy
Lisa was with in the picture.
- Who was the guy?
- I never saw him before.
You tell her anything about me?
- I said I had no
idea who you were.
- Good answer.
- Beers?
- Yeah.
What the hell is going on, Lisa?
- How should I know?
- Yeah, what?
Some woman comes into the bar
looking for you, what's that?
'Kay, No one was looking for me.
She was looking for that guy.
- Really?
- Hum.
Don't worry about it.
- Green means go.
- What are you doing?
- Don't be mad, Dad.
I missed you real bad.
- Look, I told you it was
over and it's over.
Now please, just leave me alone.
- I just want to talk.
Can't we get a drink?
- No, we can't get a drink.
Lisa, it's over.
Now please...
I got a call from
Arron Milsted, represents
their patent department.
They want to meet.
- Good.
It sounds like you've got them
heading in the right direction.
You know, when I first
started at Seaverson
and Night, they did those
three martini lunches.
I knew I'd never make it there.
- Speaking of martinis,
I think Donleavy jus
into the bar.
I've been trying to
get him all morning.
- What are you doing here?
- Why don't I join
you guys for a drink?
- This is a very
important lunch.
Now, I need you need
to leave here now.
- Then meet me later.
Tonight.
- Why are you prolonging this?
- Because I still have feelings.
I can't deal with
them by myself.
I've got a new
cell number, all right?
I left a message,
so now you have it.
Don't worry, I'm not going to
call your wife and all that.
But I need to talk to you.
- I was going to charge up
your phone and I saw that
you had all these
messages on here.
Do you want them right now?
- Doubt it.
It's a little late now anyway.
- How was your lunch
with Mitchell today?
- Lunch was, um... was good.
The Waterhouse case is
finally moving forward.
- And who'd you
have dinner with?
- I know, lunch, dinner...
Arron Milsted, he's part
of the Waterhouse case.
What?
- Nothing.
- What is it, Meg?
- Did you really have dinner
with clients tonight?
- Yes.
- The whole time?
- Are you serious?
- Just answer the question.
- Yes, the whole time.
- All right, I'll just go
charge up your phone then.
- Hi.
Hi, my name is Davidson.
I need to check on an order.
Great.
I...
We sent some
flowers on the 17th.
And I just talked to her
and she never got them.
Well, yes, I'm sure
somebody did accept them.
It just doesn't mean they
went to the right address,
so, um... what address
do you have for...?
618 Ashland.
Lisa Carver.
No, gosh, that's just...
That's all correct.
Yes, I will.
Thank you very much.
Okay, I thought that
I was going crazy, you know,
that I was being paranoid.
And Tom told me that I was
obsessed, that I should
stop looking into this.
- Please have a
seat, Mrs. Davidson.
Are you sure the woman you
saw today was this woman?
- Yes, Lisa Carver.
I mean, Detectives, you tell
me, the woman is in a picture
with the man that I killed.
My husband is sending her
flowers, seeing her,
and then he buys this gun
without telling me.
I mean, what the hell does
that sound like to you?
- Well, it doesn't mean your
husband's trying to kill you.
The records for the gun
purchase show that it was
bought after the
break-in of your house.
It's legally registered to him.
Mrs. Davidson, your
husband's a lawyer.
He's not going to buy a gun,
kill his wife,
and hope to get away with it.
- Then why didn't he tell me?
- Well, he probably
didn't want to alarm you.
It's perfectly legal.
He's allowed to have it.
And after having a guy
break into his house,
I can understand why
he'd want it.
But, I am going to
talk to the girl,
and I'm going to
talk to your husband.
But Mrs. Davidson, in all
likelihood the guy who broke
into your house was
intending to rob it.
It's possible that your
with this woman and she
gave Renfrew your address.
- Well, could they have
been planning it together?
- I'll never say never,
but that's low on my list.
- Well, what am I
supposed to do now?
- Stop playing detective.
I'll let you know
what we find out.
I really don't know
what I can tell you but
I'll help you any way I can.
Do you know
the guy in this picture?
- That's definitely me.
Some Halloween party at Tommy's.
That was just some
guy that was there.
- You two seem pretty friendly.
- I guess you've never been
to one of these parties.
They get wild.
- Okay.
Then, tell me about
Tom Davidson.
- What about him?
- Are you seeing him,
romantically?
- Are you two doing
divorce work on the side.
What the hell is this?
- We're homicide detectives.
Your friend here in that
picture, he's dead,
and we're investigating.
Now let me ask you again,
are you involved with
Tom Davidson?
- I know him.
We're friends, that's all.
- So, can you think of any
reason why he'd want to
kill his wife?
- No.
Sorry.
- All right.
Give me a call if
you think of anything.
No, man.
They weren't just cops.
- They were homicide cops.
- Lisa, calm down.
The only person that knows
anything, besides you and me,
is dead.
All you have to do
is keep your mouth shut.
Everything will be fine.
- They had that picture.
That picture of me and the
guy...
guy... where the hell
did they get that from?
Who was that woman
who came into the bar?
- The woman obviously
went to the cops.
What I want to know is
how the cops knew that
that was you in the picture?
- I dunno.
- Well think.
- I don't know.
- Think.
- But this is where
it gets weird, okay?
They know all about me
and Tom, right?
I tell them that we're
just friends, but
it's like they know.
And then, out of the blue,
they mention, "Has Tom ever
wanted to kill his wife."
- When did they ask
you this, at the beginning
or at the end of the interview?
- The end.
- At the end.
It was at the end.
This is perfect.
- What?
- You get it, right?
- No.
- Lisa.
Lisa, they think the guy was
trying to kill his wife.
You're bonking the guy.
They think he wants to
get rid of his wife.
This is freakin' perfect.
- Sounding pretty
messed up to me.
- Here's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna kill the wife.
We frame the husband.
Done deal.
- No.
- Yes.
- No way!
- Yes, way.
Yes.
When they discover that he
had nothing to do with this,
which they will, they're
going to put the screws to you.
That's going to lead to me.
I'm already on parole,
you know that, right?
I got two strikes.
Two.
One more strike,
I'm gone for life.
Thanks for
coming in, Mr. Davidson.
You remember Detective McKenna?
- Yes. I hope you know
I'm taking time out of
a very busy schedule for this.
- Well, I appreciate that.
We'll try not to keep
you too long.
Take a look at this.
You know who those people are?
- I'm sorry.
- Well, that's funny
because the girl knows you.
Her name's Lisa Carver.
Does that ring a bell?
- Yeah. Yeah, I know her.
We've had drinks a couple
of times, that's all.
So, why did you
say you didn't know her?
- Well, maybe because
I'm a married man.
And maybe I'm not too anxious
for my wife to hear rumors
about a woman I barely know.
- Well, that's not the
way Lisa tells it.
- I think this
interview is over.
I was under the impressi
- that was killed in my house.
- It does.
He's the guy in the
picture with Lisa.
- What?
- That's Derrick Renfrew,
last seen dead in your den.
And quite happy in that
picture, with his arm around
the girl you were
having an affair with.
- I ended it
before the break-in.
- Yeah, we know.
You sent her flowers.
"Don't be afraid and
don't call me."
- Now, what would she have
to be 'afraid' about?
Was she afraid because she
was planning with you
to kill your wife?
- Are you out of your mind?
- I don't think so.
You said you didn't know Lisa.
You did.
You said you broke up with her.
Your wife tells us she saw you
at Lisa's apartment yesterday.
- I don't know what
you're trying to pull here
but if you want to make
any more wild accusations,
you make them to my attorney.
Mr. Davidson,
now you do understand why
these discrepancies
would concern us.
- Am I under arrest?
- Not yet.
- Then I'm leaving.
Excuse me.
- I think we touched a nerve.
So let's just
reverse the order of these
and then we'll make
more copies of that, okay?
- I just came from
the police station.
- Let's go in the
conference room.
And try to keep your voice down.
I don't want everyone
to hear this.
- You really think I would
try and have you killed?
I mean, where did you
come up with that?
- Well, you're obviously
having an affair and this
girl knows the guy that broke
into our house, who came at me
with a baseball bat.
Can you explain that?
Explain to me why,
at every step of the way,
you tried to keep me
from investigating this.
- I didn't...
- You didn't what?
Come on, Tom!
Just stop lying.
Just stop lying and
tell me the truth.
Are you having an
affair with this girl?
- Yes.
I was.
- God.
- It was the biggest
mistake of my life, Meg.
I ended it before the
break-in, but she wouldn't...
she wouldn't stop calling.
She just wouldn't let it go.
- You were at her
apartment this morning.
- She said she was
going to call you
if I didn't talk to her.
So I went.
Meg, I messed up.
I had an affair, yes.
But I didn't try to kill you.
I love you.
- Why did you buy a gun?
- Because I was scared.
Because I wanted to
protect my family.
- I don't knowwhat I b.
I'm taking Ellie.
I gotta go to my mom's house
for a few days.
- Meg, please...
- God! Would you just shut up!
I would leave you just
for the infidelity.
And then you pile all
of this on top of it.
I mean, my God, Tom,
one way or the other,
you brought a killer
into our home!
Why don't you think about that!
- What's your problem?
- Shut up!
Don't say another word!
Get out!
- Why are you so freaked?
- Why am I so 'freaked'?
How about I just came
from the police station.
They think you and I
conspired to kill my wife.
How freaking freaky is that?
- I know.
They were at my place, too!
- Why didn't you call me!
- You said not to.
- Tell me this, Lisa,
did you have anything
to do with that guy
breaking into my house?
- No!
I don't even know the guy.
- That's a lie!
- No, it's not!
I'm getting scared, Tom.
I want to go.
Let's go, just you and me.
Let's just get the
hell out of here.
- Are you crazy?
- Why not?
The only problem we
had was your family.
- You get this through
your skank head.
If you had anything to do
with sending that man
to my home, I swear I will....
Walk home!
- Hey, Stevie.
- Hey.
- What's up, Angie?
- Same ol'.
- Yeah?
- I saw that kid you're
going out with at the Grand.
- Who?
- Dark hair, Lisa something.
- Lisa, yeah, you saw
Lisa at the Grand? When?
- Just yesterday.
She was with some guy.
Didn't seem her type.
Is she hooking?
- Ha.
Is she hooking?
This guy, what...
did he have, like, short hair?
Hey? Look like that
jock that you used to hate
in high school?
- Yeah, that'd be him.
Who's he?
- I gotta go.
What are you doing, Lisa?
You are so freaking
stupid, right?
I can't believe it.
I told you not to go
anywhere near Tom Davidson.
- You're not my Dad,
and you don't own me,
so shut the hell up.
- Is that it.
I'm not your dad.
What do you think you're doing?
Where're you going?
What? You're just gonna
blow out on me?
Is that it?
Is that what you're going to do?
You're going to
blow out on me, maybe
Maybe go to the cops and
cut yourself a little deal.
Tell them I'm the one
who sent Renfrew.
Is that what you're doing?
- If you don't get outta here,
I'm going to call the cops.
- Yeah? You're part of it,
- all right?
- You sonofabitch!
- Come here!
- Aahhhh!
- Lis... Lisa!
Lisa.
Think.
Tom did this.
He came here.
You fought.
You fell.
You fell and you hit your head.
And then he went home and
he waited for his wife.
How does that sound?
Next door neighbor
heard the fight,
slam against the wall,
waited 'til he left,
then called 911.
- Neighbor didn't
see him, though.
- This is not good.
- No, it is not.
We'd better find Davidson.
Hello?
- Mrs. Davidson?
This is Detective Wilson.
Is your husband there?
- No.
I just got here.
- Do you know where he is?
- No, in fact, I don't.
I told him I was spending
a few days away and...
Why, is there a problem?
- Somebody attacked
Lisa Carver, she's dead.
- Ohmigod.
Um... do you think Tom was...?
- Well, I don't know.
Maybe, but I'm sending
an officer out there
to keep an eye on you.
- Well, I'm not staying here.
I'm I'm getting my car
and going to my mother's house.
- I'll get an officer to meet
you there, but leave now.
- I just came back to get
something for my daughter,
then I'm out of here.
- Fine, leave now.
I'm not letting you in!
I don't want to talk to you.
I don't want to see you.
- Meg, we need to
talk about this!
- Not now, okay?
I'm going to call the police
if you don't leave right now.
- I live here!
- Stop yelling.
You've got to leave.
Just go! Go away!
- Okay, okay, I'll do
whatever you want me to do.
You know I love you.
I would never do
anything hurt you.
- Detective Wilson,
it's Meg Davidson.
- Have you left yet?
- No, I'm at the house
and he's here.
- He's right there
in the room with you?
- Well, he's sitting
in his car in the driveway.
- Is he acting aggressive,
threatening, anything like that?
- No, he hasn't threatened me.
I just... I think...
- I'm sending a car right away.
- All right, thank you.
Gulp!
- This is perfect.
The cops are gonna arrive and
they're going to find Tom
in the driveway and you
dead inside the house.
Just relax.
It's like going to sleep.
UHG!
TOM!
Come here!
Arrragh.
O
- Ommmph!
- You okay?
It's okay.
It's so beautiful out here.
Yeah, this was the right idea.
Just to rent a place
for a little while.
Come on, Ellie!
It's been really good
for Ellie and me.
Whatcha got sweetheart?
- I'm keeping these.
These are my favorites.
- Are they?
- Hum.
- This one's for you, Daddy.
- Thank you, sweetheart.
I will cherish that.
- When are you coming back?
- Next week, pumpkin.
- Okay, I'll put these
in my special spot.
- You do that.
- We miss you.
- I miss you guys a lot, too.
- It's good that we're
taking it slow though.
- I know.
Doesn't make it any easier.
See you next week.
- Okay.
don't be bad.
I am bad.
I know...
but that's just a...
a secret between me and you.
And I really do have to go.
- Honey, I'm home.
Yeah, I'm in here.
Hi.
I'll just be a minute.
Are you hungry?
- Um...
No, I just had some drinks
with clients so...
Ellie go down okay?
- Yeah, she was tired.
- Maybe I will get
something to eat.
- All right, I'll be in
in a minute.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Absolutely.
Well, now remember you said
you would not going to take
less than 375, but I went
ahead and I got you 400.
Is that all right?
Great.
Yeah,
Yeah, I'll bring
the papers by tomorrow.
Well, you're welcome.
Al
All right, bye.
- Got a second?
- Yeah.
- I'm a little upset.
- Why?
- Because when you started
here last year I thought you
were just another housewife
with too much time
on your hands.
Now, you're one of my
top agents.
- What can I say?
I'm a natural.
- But you haven't taken the
broker's course and you haven't
applied for your license.
Why not?
- I know it's cliche but
I'm having a hard balancing,
you know, home and work.
- Well, let me tempt you.
Do you want to show the
Bentley house?
- Wow. Are you serious?
- A couple named Corelli,
drove by and fell in love
with the place.
They want to see it tonight.
- Tonight.
Um...
- Is that a problem?
- No, no, no, no.
I can work it out.
- Okay.
- I just... I've got
to make a phone call, and...
- Well, do good.
- Thanks.
- You want to
grab a bite, after?
- I'll have to get home.
But maybe lunch sometime.
- Dinner's better.
Maybe next week?
- Umm...
- Hi, hi, hi.
It's Meg.
Is he there?
No, that's okay.
Just tell him something
came up, and he'll need to
pick up our daughter today.
- Okay, thanks.
- Bye.
I just love
this house, everything
about it.
It's just wonderful.
What are recent
comps in this neighborhood?
This is the most
expensive listing
south of Gibson.
It's also the most impressive.
I mean, let me tell you.
There're three properties that
have sold on this street
in the last four months.
Each of them sold within
two days of listing and each
seller thought they'd
undervalued their property.
This just came on
the market today.
- The problem is, we're going
out of town tomorrow.
We aren't going to be back
until next week.
- You know, go, have
dinner, call me at home later.
If you decide you want to
go forward, I'll make it
happen for you.
- All right, thanks.
Thank you.
- Mrs. Corelli.
- Thank you.
Talk to you later.
Now can I watch TV?
Sure, I'll be right in.
- So, do you think I should?
Should what?
- You know, get
serious about this.
Study for the exam and
get my broker's license.
George is very encouraging.
- It sounds like a lot
of work and you're already
stretched pretty thin.
- Really?
I think I'm doing pretty well.
- Well, it didn't
go so well tonight.
- I'm sorry.
It came up literally
last minute.
- But you assumed I'd be able
to pick up Ellie from school.
I mean, what if I couldn't?
- You told me this
morning you were free.
- But that can changed.
You get your broker's license,
it'll only get worse.
I mean, you were out three
nights last week with work.
And I don't think you've
cooked dinner in a week.
- What do you want me to do?
Quit?
Become a full time housewife?
- Maybe.
I'm not so sure I like you
working so close with George.
- I not even going
to comment on that.
- Hey.
"Mortgage Syndication Handbook."
No wonder you're
laughing up here so much.
- I'm sorry, I didn't mean
to go off like that.
I didn't mean any of that
stuff about George.
I don't even know
what I was thinking.
- Yeah, I couldn't
believe you said that.
I mean, I've been jealous of
you but I've never seen
you be jealous of me.
- Now I'm in trouble.
You like it?
- Yeah, I like it.
- Truce?
- Yeah.
Let the machine get it.
Hello.
Yes, yes, Mr. Corelli.
No, no, no, it's fine.
You do?
Yes. Well, I can be over
there in half an hour.
Okay. Thank you.
Bye.
- You're going to show someone
a house at this time of night?
- I know, honey.
They're leaving town
tomorrow morning.
This is a really a big sale.
I'm sorry.
I'll be back as soon as I can.
So, I go over
to their house at ten o'clock
last night, okay?
They fax it.
They accept the offer.
It was almost too easy.
George, you keep telling
me how great I am and
I'm going to start
believing you.
All right, I'll see
you at the office. Bye.
Here.
- Mom, why can't I
have chocolate cereal?
- 'Cause it's a bowl
of sugar, honey.
I can't believe you conned
your father into buying that.
Tell her it's
fortified with vitamins
and minerals.
- It's fortified with
vitamins and minerals.
- You're no help.
- Don't expect me until late.
Some of the boys from
New York are coming in.
- And I've got to
wine and dine 'em.
Poor you.
I thought that was next week.
- Yeah, it got pushed up.
I'll be back as soon as I can.
Congratulations on that sale.
- Thank you.
Lisa.
I know you're avoiding me.
Here's your notice.
I get the rent in three
days or you're out!
Well, well, well, well.
- Would you believe
I've missed you?
- Yeah...
Yeah...
I bet.
Ha.
So... what?
You need money...?
Or you lost your job...?
Or, could it be
your 'boyfriend' left you?
- Now I remember why I left you.
You're such a jerk.
- Ha, ha, ha.
- Why can't you just accept
that I've missed you?
- Because, Lisa,
everything that comes out
of your mouth is
guaranteed to be a lie.
Everything.
- So, if I said that
I wanted your bod,
right here, right now,
would that be a lie?
- Guaranteed.
But I can live with that.
I can live it it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Slow down please.
You know I'm in a relationship.
- Right.
Straight, old, married guy.
Whoo! That's a whole
bunch of fun I bet.
- He loves me.
S
Ha ha ha.
I've got some blow in the
bedroom, wanna do a bone?
No.
- How much?
- How much what?
- How much do you
need to borrow?
- I did miss you.
Straight up.
- Come on, how much?
- I got a three day
notice today so,
enough to cover my rent.
- Who would'a thought?
You move back in here, you
won't have to worry about
paying rent.
- You want to go over
the reasons I moved out
in the first place?
- Pass.
Let's go out and party instead.
Party, yeah.
Let's go.
- Sure.
- Hey, relax.
Here's your rent.
But my offer still stands.
What'd I tell you?
I told you he'd use
ya and he'd dump ya.
Right?
I know people.
Come on.
Hey, Sally, tell
Stevie I wasn't feeling
- so good and I went home.
- And he shouldn't
worry about you, right?
Right.
See you later.
You're late.
What about this place?
Let's go in here for a drink.
No, it's so lame.
C'mon, let's go.
Okay, we have to be very quiet.
The neighbors can
hear everything.
I've got some vodka.
Here let me take your coat.
- It's okay, I'll keep it on.
- You're not staying?
- That's what I wanted
to talk to you about.
We can't see each other anymore.
- Okay, let's not do
this again, all right?
I don't care how much older
you are, I love you.
- I need to try and
make my marriage work.
- You bastard.
- Lisa...
- You bastard!
You bastard!
- Lisa, listen, calm down!
Just calm down!
I'm sorry, okay?
I'm sorry!
I love my wife,
and I don't want to
leave my child.
- Don't do this to me, Tom.
Please, not now.
- It's better this way.
- No.
I... I love you.
I really do.
- You'll find somebody else.
Someone who can love you back..
- Nooo...
- Lisa, please.
- Why... why not?
We're over, right?
Why not just grab one
more for the road?
- Lisa, don't...
Stop it!
- No...
- We're not over!
We're not!
- I'm sorry....
- We're not over!
Hi, honey.
You had a rough night
entertaining the boys?
- I'm getting too old for this.
- Well, come on, you want
me to bring you some tea
or something?
- Want to have a drink?
- My god, Tom,
you do not need another drink.
- Only had one
drink, officer, I swear.
- Come on, come on.
You need to go to bed.
- Want to come?
- No, not with you
like this.
Come on.
You gotta go to
work in the morning.
- Good morning, Tiger.
- Wow, breakfast in bed.
What's the occasion?
- You are three seconds
away from wearing Eggs Benedict.
- Happy anniversary?
- Good boy.
- I knew that.
I was saving your present
for the party tonight.
- Well, maybe I've got
a present for you right now.
Don't you have to go to work?
- let me show
you how I close a deal.
Line two.
A woman named Lisa.
Tom, do you want me
to take a message?
- No, I'll take it.
You can't call me here.
- I want to apologize
for last night.
I don't want us to end that way.
- Forget it.
- Do you think we
can get together,
you know, just to ta
I promise I won't get crazy.
- I think it's better
if we just leave it be.
- I'm afraid, Tom.
Do you think I could
call you sometime?
You know, talk things through.
- No.
Don't call me.
Goodbye, Lisa.
- Thank you.
Thanks.
"Don't be afraid.
It's best this way.
Take care.
Please don't cal
- NO-O-O-O!
NO! NO! NO! NO!
- What's up?
You know anyone who
wants one of these things?
I got like 10 of them
for next to nothing,
crackhead special.
What the hell happened
to you last night?
- I felt sick so I went home.
- Yeah?
I heard you got into a car
with some guy, drove off.
- I took a cab.
- Black Beemer, nice cab.
Tell me something, Lisa,
where does that boyfriend
take you that I don't?
I'm just asking a question here.
- Screw him.
I don't want to talk about him.
- Yeah!
Level eight, ba-by!
What... what's the matter?
Was he mean to you?
Jesus.
Jesus.
- Nice?
- He did this to you?
- I did it to
myself, what do you think?
- Let me see.
It's okay.
You want me to mess him up?
Yeah?
Yeah.
Let me see.
It's okay.
Stevie, what's up, man?
Nothing, man.
Same old.
How's the new gig?
- I love it, man.
The girls are gorgeous.
I only have to pound on
a couple of customer every now
and then, you know what I mean?
- Is that a bad
thing or a good thing?
- What's a good thing, man?
I owe you one, man.
I owe you one.
- Yeah.
I might take you up on that.
- Whaddya need?
- Justice.
Yeah, justice.
You know, the wheels
of Karma set in motion.
- How much justice?
- I don't know.
Maybe just this side
of broken bones.
Well, if you er a
little, that's cool, too.
- For you...
no problem, bro.
- Hah.
- Solid.
- I'll be... I'll be in touch.
Hi, honey.
Sorry, I'm late.
- Hey, where've you been?
I've been worried sick.
- I had to make a very
important stop to make.
- They're beautiful.
- I love you.
- Love you, too.
Honey, go get ready.
The guest are almost here.
- Right.
Wow.
Now why don't you
were something like this
in the office?
- Because you have trouble
focusing as it is, George.
- You still look great.
- Thanks.
Hey, Tom.
I've got a little
surprise for you.
- Hi, Mr. Davidson.
Long time no see.
- Meg, you're just in time
to see your husband blush.
- Am I?
- Erica's all grown up.
- And taking theatre at college.
Great!
How are you liking school?
- I love it, except for classes.
- Okay, you have your
priorities s
So, may I have a little drink?
Sure, a glass of wine?
- Stoli, rocks.
- They just grow up so fast.
Meg!
There you are.
I've been trying to get a
dance with you for an hour.
You know, I gotta
a couple things to check on
in here, Stan,
but when I come back out,
- I promise.
- Okay, you're on.
All right with you?
Take this ice out
- to the bar for me?
- Yeah.
I hope you gave Tom next
Wednesday night off.
- My god, what is it?
Like, bowling for beer or
cage fighting, pay per view?
- Better - the New York
group are coming to town,
and we must wine and dine.
- Really? I thought
that was the other night.
Nope, this Wednesday.
- And don't expect
Tom before midnight.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- May I?
- Sure.
Your husband's real
smooth, Mrs. Davidson.
- Yeah, I know.
Well, little Erica really
seems to like you.
- Well, of course, she does.
I'm smooth.
- That you are.
Hey, listen, Stan said I have
to let you wine and dine
the New York group
Wednesday night.
- Right.
- Well, I though you
did that the other night?
- Um... that was the meeting
to set the meeting.
- A meeting to set the meeting?
- The other night was
a scout group and the main
contingent is still to come.
You are smooth.
Hold it, hold it, everybody!
Everybody, I'd like
to make a speech.
Hold on, it's about my wife.
Meg, come on here.
Come up here, Sweetheart.
My partner.
My friend.
- My lover.
- Whahoo!
My wife.
You keep me on the
straight and narrow.
I love you.
- I love you.
Happy Anniversary.
Did you...
did you see Joanie?
- Man, can she ever dance, wow.
- That was so much fun.
- Yeah, it was.
And you, you are the
bestest, most sexiest,
most beautifulest wife
I ever had.
- Come on.
My god, but you've
had a lot to drink.
- Not so much that I can't
take care of business.
- I know but slow down, cowboy.
Come on.
I'll be right back, okay?
- I'll be ready to rock.
Let that be a warning to you.
- Are you still with us?
- Yeah.
How was I?
- The earth moved.
- Really?
That's good.
- Well, happy anniversary.
- Happy, happy...
love you.
Uhm?
Tom?
Don't make a sound!
Put the knife down
and get on the floor.
I'm just here for your stuff.
I'm not here to hurt anybody.
Okay?
- Ulp......
- TOM!
TOM...!
- Mommy!
- Ellie, go back
inside your room!
- TOM!
What'cha got?
His name's Renfrew,
Derek K., 26.
Has an arms-length sheet
for break-ins, thefts,
assaults, you name it.
He had a bat, and she took
him out with a kitchen knife.
- Well, that's one tough lady.
- It's like a dream...
slow-motion like a bad dream.
Um... I can't get him
out of my head.
It'll take some time.
You might want to talk to
someone, a professional.
Mrs. Davidson, I'm going to
need you to come downtown
with me to take
a formal statement.
- Yeah, they said that.
- It's up to you, but if
you want an attorney present,
you can have one.
- My husband called
someone from his firm.
- Is he here?
- He took my, um...
our daughter to
a neighbor's house,
and he'll be right back.
What if I hadn't
grabbed the knife?
- You're very lucky.
Okay, it's all done.
The DA think
justifiable homicide.
- So, that's it?
- Routine follow-up.
The guy had a burglary record.
- Come on, let's go home.
- I don't want to go
there just yet, okay?
- I understand.
We'll go to a hotel.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Thanks, Mike.
Thanks for coming
No problem.
Meg, I know it's going
to hurt for a while,
but remember - that guy
could've hurt your family.
He could have
taken your daughter.
You did what you had to do.
- Okay, thanks.
- Thanks.
- Okay.
Meg.
I just found out.
Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm here.
- I thought you might
want some company.
- Sure.
- Is this where he came through?
- Yeah, I don't want
to get into that.
- You know, let's
get out of here.
Let me take you to lunch.
- You need to get
out of this house.
- I'd feel better about it
when it's all finished here.
Okay.
Then let's put all this
stuff away and...
I will pour us a glass of wine.
- Sure.
I've got it right in front
of me and it says, um...
hold on a second?
Tina, what's the name of
that property on Kinglsey?
- Palmer house and it's sold.
You're late for
your two o'clock.
- I don't have a two o'clock.
- Check your calendar.
Aw, jeez.
I'll have to get back
to you on that, okay?
Thanks.
- Hey, it's me.
No one's here.
He just called, he
said they were going to leave.
They've been waiting
for almost an hour.
- No one's here.
- What address are you at?
- 722 Upper Darby.
- Wrong house, Bradley is
over across the bridge.
- Okay, um...
All right, well, just tell
them that I'm sorry, okay?
- Okay.
When you're not
messing something up,
what are you thinking about?
- Him.
Killing him.
You know, the sound that he
made when I stabbed him.
The way he slumped to the
ground, and just fell over.
And then, on top of everything,
I have this sense of
foreboding, you know,
like... like something's
going to happen, and that
was just the first thing.
- What do you
think might happen?
- You know, my daughter
gets kidnapped or killed,
and my husband has
a car accident
or the house burns down.
I don't know.
Like the...
Like the door to badness
has been opened and, you know,
if that could happen
then, you know,
why not something else?
- Does it ever feel good
that you were strong enough
to act like you did?
- I just keep
thinking about him.
Yeah, Ellie will love that.
That'll be great Mom.
Okay, I'll see you Sunday.
Okay.
You know, I think I'm going
to call the hotel back because
if you want the Spa Package
you have to pre-register.
- And we want the spa package.
Yeah.
- I'm just going to do one
last check in the house
and I'll be right back.
- Okay.
Hi.
Yeah.
- I don't know
whose earring it is!
There are women I work
with, for god's sake!
I gave Denise a ride home the
other night - maybe it's hers.
- Why? Why did you give
Denise a ride home?
- Because her car
was in the shop!
- Why didn't you tell me?
- Why would I?
I mean, what is the big deal?
- Well, how could she lose
an earring in the car?
- I don't know!
Maybe it came off when she
reached in the back seat
for her briefcase.
Let's just sit down, okay?
Maybe it's me, but I have been
feeling for a while like...
like you're just not
telling me everything.
Are you involved in
something illegal?
- What?
- Just... I mean, the guy
that broke into our house,
could he have be after you?
- I'm not involved
in anything illegal.
The police said it was
a random break-in with
no connection to us whatsoever.
- Okay, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I just feel like
I'm going crazy.
Okay.
- No, they're not
knock-offs, man.
They're absolutely real.
Just look at 'em you can tell.
Yeah, all right then.
Tonight, I'll be around.
Call me or not.
I'll be here.
- Whoa. I thought you said
we were going out.
I'm not going to sit around
here all night while you
wait for some deal.
- That's exactly what
you're going to do.
- Really?
You think you own me?
- That's why I left you in
the first place, dumb ass.
- Who are you calling?
- None of your business.
Don't... don't mess with me.
Who are you calling?
- Tom.
He'll meet me for a drink.
- LISTEN TO ME!
All right, listen to me.
You're not to see him or
speak to him ever again.
Do you understand me?
- Or what?
You're going to beat me up, too?
- You remember when you
wanted to mess him up because
of what he did to you?
- Yeah?
- Well, I did it.
I hired somebody.
- What!
- Yeah, the guy was supposed
to beat him up after work.
Instead he goes to
the guy's house.
- Ohmigod.
What happened to Tom?
- He's fine, Lisa, he's okay.
- Yeah... and?
- My guy got killed!
Your boyfriend's
wife killed him.
- She... she killed him?
- Yeah, she did a good job.
She stuck him with
a kitchen knife.
Okay, listen to me.
Yes. You wanted me
to mess him up.
I got a guy to do it, Lisa.
That guy's dead.
We got a big problem.
It's going to be okay, Lisa.
All you have to do is...
Listen, all you have to do
is stay away from him.
Either way, we're
in this together.
We're in it together.
Yeah, we are.
Stay away from him, Lisa.
This project is
going to be so hot.
It's going to be
beautiful, just beautiful.
- They'll practically
sell themselves.
- Probably.
- Do you want the listing?
- Are you kidding?
- Yours exclusively,
just say yes.
- This is incredible.
It's like, a great opportunity.
- So, we have a deal?
I don't know, George.
I just don't know if I'm
ready to come back to work,
that much.
- Why not?
- Look at me.
Don't I look tired?
- You look great.
- Go on, tell the truth.
- Okay, maybe a little tired.
- I just...
I haven't been sleeping much
and I've been scattered,
and I just think you need
somebody who's on top of things.
So I'm going to pass.
Nice little gun, not much kick.
- I haven't shot
a gun since summer camp.
- Step up to the rail.
Remember, let out your breath
as you squeeze the trigger.
- Did I hit it?
- No, not yet.
Try again.
Don't hold the gun so tight.
Gently apply pressure to the
trigger until it fires.
There you go!
You take the course here,
you'll be fine.
- Thanks, Mike, I appreciate
you helping me out.
- I'm happy to do it.
We should get Meg
down here, too.
- I don't know.
She's got a thing about guns.
- She doesn't know
you're getting this?
- I'll tell her eventually
but since the break-in
I just haven't felt safe.
Hopefully I won't need it.
- Hi, Daddy!
- Hi.
Okay, honey, go up
and wash your hands.
- How's my little girl?
- Good.
- Are you good?
- Hum.
- Hum.
- Can I finish my show?
- You can't go against the boss.
Go on, kiddo.
- I'll put this out.
Did you get vegetable mushu?
- Yes.
How come you didn't retu
- Did you call the office?
- Twice.
No one told you?
- I was running
in and out all day.
I must have spaced.
- Sounds like you're
getting back into the
swing of things.
- Yeah, I'm trying.
Still not there.
- Well, take your time.
I kinda like having
you home at night.
Hello.
Yeah.
She did?
Hold on a second.
A Detective Wilson
returning your phone call?
- Hi, thanks for
calling me back.
Um...
no.
I was wondering if I could see
a copy of the police report.
No, I'm just curious.
Great.
Okay, thank you.
- You called to get a
copy of the police report?
- Yeah, why wouldn't I?
It's been hard enough
for you to get over this.
I mean, I just don't see
the good in wallowing
in the details.
- Well, maybe there are
some things that just
still don't make sense.
You know, there's never been
a burglary like this in this
neighborhood, ever.
And burglars, they don't
want to meet people.
They don't want confrontation.
- We've been through
this with the police.
Meg, you're starting
to obsess about this.
You have to put this behind you.
- It's easy for you to say.
You were upstairs
drunk and asleep.
- Now, you're blaming me.
You know what?
You're starting to
really worry me.
- You know, you want
your old life back. Fine.
But I was almost killed
and you just act like
you couldn't care less.
I'm going to go
to Joanie's, okay?
And you can do all this.
And you can put Ellie to bed.
And then you can sleep
down here tonight.
Wilson >
There's not much here.
I think you'll
find it pretty dry.
Thank you.
Um... can I ask you a question?
This man, Renfrew, does
he have family here?
Yes, he does.
- Well, um... is there
some way I can contact them?
- I'm sorry,
Mrs. Davidson, I can't
help you with that.
Listen, you ask any cop
who's ever had to shoot
somebody, it's tough.
It's always tough and the
only thing that makes it
better is time.
- Yeah, they said that.
- Okay. Well, you can
have a seat here.
- Hey, George.
>
- I thought I'd surprise Meg.
Kidnap her for
a nice dinner out.
- That sounds great
but she's not here.
I haven't seen her
in a couple days.
- Isn't she out
showing properties?
She said things were picking up.
- Actually, not.
I wanted her to take over
this big condo project
but she passed.
Sorry.
- Thanks.
- Sweetheart, are you sure
Mommy didn't say where she
was going to be today?
- She didn't?
- Can I have another cookie?
- Another one?
All right, one more.
That's it.
Your mom will kill me.
[c
[clatter
Meg, I dropped by your
office to surprise you.
I'm home now with Ellie.
Where are you?
Call me.
Joanie, it's Tom.
Yeah.
Is Meg with you?
You don't know where she is?
Okay,
thanks.
Hi.
Hi.
Where have you been?
- Um... I was at the
library, sorry.
Did you guys eat dinner?
- Yeah.
"Ordinary Killers"
"Women Who Kill"?
Jesus, Meg, I don't
believe this.
- What is it you don't believe?
- This, obsession.
I went by your office today.
I was going to take you
out for a nice dinner.
I had a babysitter for Ellie.
You weren't there.
George, said you hadn't
been there in days.
- Ellie's in bed?
- Yes, I told her
you'd kiss her goodnight.
Why couldn't you
tell me where you were?
- You know, Tom, after
you blew up last night,
I didn't want to tell you
what I was up to at all.
- Which was...?
- Researching.
Finding out anything I can
about normal people
who've killed somebody.
- Does your therapist
support this?
- I'm not seeing her anymore.
She wasn't helping.
- Well, I think you should
go back to her, Meg, because
I'm afraid you're losing it.
- Stop criticizing me.
I'm not losing it.
And why don't you
read one of these?
You know, what I'm going
through is not unusual.
I'm sorry if this is all
inconvenient for you.
Chapman called
about the deposition.
He wants to know if
you can reschedule.
- Tell him no.
Nicely, but no.
You've had
three calls from some woman,
sounds young.
She doesn't want to
leave a message,
won't give her name,
she just asks for you.
- Don't put her through,
even if I'm here.
- Okay.
Hello?
Anyone here?
Hello?
I'm not finished packin' it yet.
I thought you weren't
coming by 'til tomorrow.
It's going to take me
the rest of the day.
- I must have gotten
the day mixed up.
- You can take some
of it now, if you want.
- No, no.
That's all right.
Thanks, sorry about that.
- What did I tell you?
- Excuse me?
- I'm sorry... I thought you
were somebody else.
- Hello!
Anybody home?
- Daddy's home!
Daddy's home!
- Ha!
Hello, my sweetheart.
How are you?
- Good.
- You're good.
Look at these.
- Pretty flowers.
- Who do you think they're for?
- Mommy.
- That's right, for mommy.
Can I take you away
from all of this?
- Well, this is very nice, sir.
- I would like to take
my family out to dinner.
Where would you like to go?
- Burger Town!
- Burger Town.
Mmmmmm.
Onion rings.
- It'll be nice to get out.
Onion rings sound great.
- Ha, ha, ha.
Onion rings it is.
- And burgers.
- And burgers and milkshakes.
- So, what was so funny
at the register tonight?
- Where?
- When you were paying
the bill at Burger Town.
You were talking to that girl
and you both started laughing.
- I don't know.
I told some dumb joke.
I think she was
flirting with me.
- Flirting?
She was all of 20.
- What can I say?
It was nothing.
- Don't make a habit of it.
You'll embarrass yourself.
- Are you coming to bed?
- I'm not really that tired.
I'm just going to go
downstairs and read.
- Hi.
In Chicago.
I need a number for 'Tommy's'.
- Hi.
- How are you doing?
- Good.
Grapefruit and gin.
Half a shot.
- One gin and juice, light.
- So, this is the
famous 'Tommy's'
I don't know how
famous we are, but you should
check us out at night,
it's pretty jumping.
- Have you worked here long?
- I'm not a lifer,
but I've been here awhile.
- Um... I was wondering if you
could help me with something.
Do you know this guy?
- No.
I've never seen him before.
- What about the girl?
- No, sorry.
The picture's definitely
taken here, but it
could've been years ago.
Looks like our Halloween bash.
Why are you trying
to find the guy?
- He's a friend of the family
and we just lost touch.
Hey, bartender!
Can we get another round?
- Excuse me.
- Yeah, no problem.
This place is dead.
- Just like our relationship.
- Nice.
- You know that woman?
- What woman?
- The one you just bumped into?
- No, why?
- She had a picture of you,
taken with some guy at our
Halloween party here.
- What did she want?
- She was looking for the guy
Lisa was with in the picture.
- Who was the guy?
- I never saw him before.
You tell her anything about me?
- I said I had no
idea who you were.
- Good answer.
- Beers?
- Yeah.
What the hell is going on, Lisa?
- How should I know?
- Yeah, what?
Some woman comes into the bar
looking for you, what's that?
'Kay, No one was looking for me.
She was looking for that guy.
- Really?
- Hum.
Don't worry about it.
- Green means go.
- What are you doing?
- Don't be mad, Dad.
I missed you real bad.
- Look, I told you it was
over and it's over.
Now please, just leave me alone.
- I just want to talk.
Can't we get a drink?
- No, we can't get a drink.
Lisa, it's over.
Now please...
I got a call from
Arron Milsted, represents
their patent department.
They want to meet.
- Good.
It sounds like you've got them
heading in the right direction.
You know, when I first
started at Seaverson
and Night, they did those
three martini lunches.
I knew I'd never make it there.
- Speaking of martinis,
I think Donleavy jus
into the bar.
I've been trying to
get him all morning.
- What are you doing here?
- Why don't I join
you guys for a drink?
- This is a very
important lunch.
Now, I need you need
to leave here now.
- Then meet me later.
Tonight.
- Why are you prolonging this?
- Because I still have feelings.
I can't deal with
them by myself.
I've got a new
cell number, all right?
I left a message,
so now you have it.
Don't worry, I'm not going to
call your wife and all that.
But I need to talk to you.
- I was going to charge up
your phone and I saw that
you had all these
messages on here.
Do you want them right now?
- Doubt it.
It's a little late now anyway.
- How was your lunch
with Mitchell today?
- Lunch was, um... was good.
The Waterhouse case is
finally moving forward.
- And who'd you
have dinner with?
- I know, lunch, dinner...
Arron Milsted, he's part
of the Waterhouse case.
What?
- Nothing.
- What is it, Meg?
- Did you really have dinner
with clients tonight?
- Yes.
- The whole time?
- Are you serious?
- Just answer the question.
- Yes, the whole time.
- All right, I'll just go
charge up your phone then.
- Hi.
Hi, my name is Davidson.
I need to check on an order.
Great.
I...
We sent some
flowers on the 17th.
And I just talked to her
and she never got them.
Well, yes, I'm sure
somebody did accept them.
It just doesn't mean they
went to the right address,
so, um... what address
do you have for...?
618 Ashland.
Lisa Carver.
No, gosh, that's just...
That's all correct.
Yes, I will.
Thank you very much.
Okay, I thought that
I was going crazy, you know,
that I was being paranoid.
And Tom told me that I was
obsessed, that I should
stop looking into this.
- Please have a
seat, Mrs. Davidson.
Are you sure the woman you
saw today was this woman?
- Yes, Lisa Carver.
I mean, Detectives, you tell
me, the woman is in a picture
with the man that I killed.
My husband is sending her
flowers, seeing her,
and then he buys this gun
without telling me.
I mean, what the hell does
that sound like to you?
- Well, it doesn't mean your
husband's trying to kill you.
The records for the gun
purchase show that it was
bought after the
break-in of your house.
It's legally registered to him.
Mrs. Davidson, your
husband's a lawyer.
He's not going to buy a gun,
kill his wife,
and hope to get away with it.
- Then why didn't he tell me?
- Well, he probably
didn't want to alarm you.
It's perfectly legal.
He's allowed to have it.
And after having a guy
break into his house,
I can understand why
he'd want it.
But, I am going to
talk to the girl,
and I'm going to
talk to your husband.
But Mrs. Davidson, in all
likelihood the guy who broke
into your house was
intending to rob it.
It's possible that your
with this woman and she
gave Renfrew your address.
- Well, could they have
been planning it together?
- I'll never say never,
but that's low on my list.
- Well, what am I
supposed to do now?
- Stop playing detective.
I'll let you know
what we find out.
I really don't know
what I can tell you but
I'll help you any way I can.
Do you know
the guy in this picture?
- That's definitely me.
Some Halloween party at Tommy's.
That was just some
guy that was there.
- You two seem pretty friendly.
- I guess you've never been
to one of these parties.
They get wild.
- Okay.
Then, tell me about
Tom Davidson.
- What about him?
- Are you seeing him,
romantically?
- Are you two doing
divorce work on the side.
What the hell is this?
- We're homicide detectives.
Your friend here in that
picture, he's dead,
and we're investigating.
Now let me ask you again,
are you involved with
Tom Davidson?
- I know him.
We're friends, that's all.
- So, can you think of any
reason why he'd want to
kill his wife?
- No.
Sorry.
- All right.
Give me a call if
you think of anything.
No, man.
They weren't just cops.
- They were homicide cops.
- Lisa, calm down.
The only person that knows
anything, besides you and me,
is dead.
All you have to do
is keep your mouth shut.
Everything will be fine.
- They had that picture.
That picture of me and the
guy...
guy... where the hell
did they get that from?
Who was that woman
who came into the bar?
- The woman obviously
went to the cops.
What I want to know is
how the cops knew that
that was you in the picture?
- I dunno.
- Well think.
- I don't know.
- Think.
- But this is where
it gets weird, okay?
They know all about me
and Tom, right?
I tell them that we're
just friends, but
it's like they know.
And then, out of the blue,
they mention, "Has Tom ever
wanted to kill his wife."
- When did they ask
you this, at the beginning
or at the end of the interview?
- The end.
- At the end.
It was at the end.
This is perfect.
- What?
- You get it, right?
- No.
- Lisa.
Lisa, they think the guy was
trying to kill his wife.
You're bonking the guy.
They think he wants to
get rid of his wife.
This is freakin' perfect.
- Sounding pretty
messed up to me.
- Here's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna kill the wife.
We frame the husband.
Done deal.
- No.
- Yes.
- No way!
- Yes, way.
Yes.
When they discover that he
had nothing to do with this,
which they will, they're
going to put the screws to you.
That's going to lead to me.
I'm already on parole,
you know that, right?
I got two strikes.
Two.
One more strike,
I'm gone for life.
Thanks for
coming in, Mr. Davidson.
You remember Detective McKenna?
- Yes. I hope you know
I'm taking time out of
a very busy schedule for this.
- Well, I appreciate that.
We'll try not to keep
you too long.
Take a look at this.
You know who those people are?
- I'm sorry.
- Well, that's funny
because the girl knows you.
Her name's Lisa Carver.
Does that ring a bell?
- Yeah. Yeah, I know her.
We've had drinks a couple
of times, that's all.
So, why did you
say you didn't know her?
- Well, maybe because
I'm a married man.
And maybe I'm not too anxious
for my wife to hear rumors
about a woman I barely know.
- Well, that's not the
way Lisa tells it.
- I think this
interview is over.
I was under the impressi
- that was killed in my house.
- It does.
He's the guy in the
picture with Lisa.
- What?
- That's Derrick Renfrew,
last seen dead in your den.
And quite happy in that
picture, with his arm around
the girl you were
having an affair with.
- I ended it
before the break-in.
- Yeah, we know.
You sent her flowers.
"Don't be afraid and
don't call me."
- Now, what would she have
to be 'afraid' about?
Was she afraid because she
was planning with you
to kill your wife?
- Are you out of your mind?
- I don't think so.
You said you didn't know Lisa.
You did.
You said you broke up with her.
Your wife tells us she saw you
at Lisa's apartment yesterday.
- I don't know what
you're trying to pull here
but if you want to make
any more wild accusations,
you make them to my attorney.
Mr. Davidson,
now you do understand why
these discrepancies
would concern us.
- Am I under arrest?
- Not yet.
- Then I'm leaving.
Excuse me.
- I think we touched a nerve.
So let's just
reverse the order of these
and then we'll make
more copies of that, okay?
- I just came from
the police station.
- Let's go in the
conference room.
And try to keep your voice down.
I don't want everyone
to hear this.
- You really think I would
try and have you killed?
I mean, where did you
come up with that?
- Well, you're obviously
having an affair and this
girl knows the guy that broke
into our house, who came at me
with a baseball bat.
Can you explain that?
Explain to me why,
at every step of the way,
you tried to keep me
from investigating this.
- I didn't...
- You didn't what?
Come on, Tom!
Just stop lying.
Just stop lying and
tell me the truth.
Are you having an
affair with this girl?
- Yes.
I was.
- God.
- It was the biggest
mistake of my life, Meg.
I ended it before the
break-in, but she wouldn't...
she wouldn't stop calling.
She just wouldn't let it go.
- You were at her
apartment this morning.
- She said she was
going to call you
if I didn't talk to her.
So I went.
Meg, I messed up.
I had an affair, yes.
But I didn't try to kill you.
I love you.
- Why did you buy a gun?
- Because I was scared.
Because I wanted to
protect my family.
- I don't knowwhat I b.
I'm taking Ellie.
I gotta go to my mom's house
for a few days.
- Meg, please...
- God! Would you just shut up!
I would leave you just
for the infidelity.
And then you pile all
of this on top of it.
I mean, my God, Tom,
one way or the other,
you brought a killer
into our home!
Why don't you think about that!
- What's your problem?
- Shut up!
Don't say another word!
Get out!
- Why are you so freaked?
- Why am I so 'freaked'?
How about I just came
from the police station.
They think you and I
conspired to kill my wife.
How freaking freaky is that?
- I know.
They were at my place, too!
- Why didn't you call me!
- You said not to.
- Tell me this, Lisa,
did you have anything
to do with that guy
breaking into my house?
- No!
I don't even know the guy.
- That's a lie!
- No, it's not!
I'm getting scared, Tom.
I want to go.
Let's go, just you and me.
Let's just get the
hell out of here.
- Are you crazy?
- Why not?
The only problem we
had was your family.
- You get this through
your skank head.
If you had anything to do
with sending that man
to my home, I swear I will....
Walk home!
- Hey, Stevie.
- Hey.
- What's up, Angie?
- Same ol'.
- Yeah?
- I saw that kid you're
going out with at the Grand.
- Who?
- Dark hair, Lisa something.
- Lisa, yeah, you saw
Lisa at the Grand? When?
- Just yesterday.
She was with some guy.
Didn't seem her type.
Is she hooking?
- Ha.
Is she hooking?
This guy, what...
did he have, like, short hair?
Hey? Look like that
jock that you used to hate
in high school?
- Yeah, that'd be him.
Who's he?
- I gotta go.
What are you doing, Lisa?
You are so freaking
stupid, right?
I can't believe it.
I told you not to go
anywhere near Tom Davidson.
- You're not my Dad,
and you don't own me,
so shut the hell up.
- Is that it.
I'm not your dad.
What do you think you're doing?
Where're you going?
What? You're just gonna
blow out on me?
Is that it?
Is that what you're going to do?
You're going to
blow out on me, maybe
Maybe go to the cops and
cut yourself a little deal.
Tell them I'm the one
who sent Renfrew.
Is that what you're doing?
- If you don't get outta here,
I'm going to call the cops.
- Yeah? You're part of it,
- all right?
- You sonofabitch!
- Come here!
- Aahhhh!
- Lis... Lisa!
Lisa.
Think.
Tom did this.
He came here.
You fought.
You fell.
You fell and you hit your head.
And then he went home and
he waited for his wife.
How does that sound?
Next door neighbor
heard the fight,
slam against the wall,
waited 'til he left,
then called 911.
- Neighbor didn't
see him, though.
- This is not good.
- No, it is not.
We'd better find Davidson.
Hello?
- Mrs. Davidson?
This is Detective Wilson.
Is your husband there?
- No.
I just got here.
- Do you know where he is?
- No, in fact, I don't.
I told him I was spending
a few days away and...
Why, is there a problem?
- Somebody attacked
Lisa Carver, she's dead.
- Ohmigod.
Um... do you think Tom was...?
- Well, I don't know.
Maybe, but I'm sending
an officer out there
to keep an eye on you.
- Well, I'm not staying here.
I'm I'm getting my car
and going to my mother's house.
- I'll get an officer to meet
you there, but leave now.
- I just came back to get
something for my daughter,
then I'm out of here.
- Fine, leave now.
I'm not letting you in!
I don't want to talk to you.
I don't want to see you.
- Meg, we need to
talk about this!
- Not now, okay?
I'm going to call the police
if you don't leave right now.
- I live here!
- Stop yelling.
You've got to leave.
Just go! Go away!
- Okay, okay, I'll do
whatever you want me to do.
You know I love you.
I would never do
anything hurt you.
- Detective Wilson,
it's Meg Davidson.
- Have you left yet?
- No, I'm at the house
and he's here.
- He's right there
in the room with you?
- Well, he's sitting
in his car in the driveway.
- Is he acting aggressive,
threatening, anything like that?
- No, he hasn't threatened me.
I just... I think...
- I'm sending a car right away.
- All right, thank you.
Gulp!
- This is perfect.
The cops are gonna arrive and
they're going to find Tom
in the driveway and you
dead inside the house.
Just relax.
It's like going to sleep.
UHG!
TOM!
Come here!
Arrragh.
O
- Ommmph!
- You okay?
It's okay.
It's so beautiful out here.
Yeah, this was the right idea.
Just to rent a place
for a little while.
Come on, Ellie!
It's been really good
for Ellie and me.
Whatcha got sweetheart?
- I'm keeping these.
These are my favorites.
- Are they?
- Hum.
- This one's for you, Daddy.
- Thank you, sweetheart.
I will cherish that.
- When are you coming back?
- Next week, pumpkin.
- Okay, I'll put these
in my special spot.
- You do that.
- We miss you.
- I miss you guys a lot, too.
- It's good that we're
taking it slow though.
- I know.
Doesn't make it any easier.
See you next week.
- Okay.
