A Sister's Revenge (2013) - full transcript

This is Michael.

Yeah, you think that'd work?

Great.

Well, I'll see you then.

Well, why don't you
have a look at the menus,

and your server will
be right with you.

Marci.

Did Amber show up yet?

Not yet.

I tried calling, but no answer.

I've been covering
hostess in the meantime.



Try again, keep trying.

OK.

Ladies, how's everything?

Sinful.

Decadent.

That's what I like to hear.

You know, they're saying
this is the best new restaurant

in the city.

Well, they have great taste.

Dylan.

Yes, Mr. Miller?

Another round on the house
for the beautiful ladies,

whatever their pleasure.

Patron Silver, straight up.



Wait.

You have to stay and
do a shot with us.

I'm sorry.

I gave up drinking tequila.

It makes me do very bad things.

Michael.

I'm sorry, could I just
steal you away for a second?

Sure.

OK.

I'll be back.

Um, so I finally
got a hold of Amber.

So Amber's been in an accident.

She's in the hospital.

Is she OK?

Apparently, she has a
concussion and a broken leg.

Excuse me.

We have a reservation.

Um, do you want me
to still cover hostess?

Um, no, you go
back to your tables.

I got this.

OK, great.

No problem, folks.

I'll have you wining
and dining in no time,

and dessert's on me.

Thanks.

This way.

You're up.

I'm up.

I figure I'll just sleep
when he goes to college.

How was your night?

It was great.

My hostess broke her leg.

Huh?

And I ended up
seating guests all day.

Oh my goodness.

What, you have one hostess?

One good one.

I'm gonna hold
interviews this week.

How busy were you?

I was slammed.

But I mean, between the
comps and the vendors,

my books are bleeding
worse than a porterhouse.

It takes time
to turn a profit.

It's been almost six months.

Yeah, and you're already
the talk of the town.

Money talks.

Hm.

You know, my dad said he
would love to help you.

No, I wanna do
this for myself.

And what about me?

Can I pitch in?

I could go back to
work a little earlier.

You were the one who wanted
to be home for the first year.

I still do.

I think it's great.

I love being Evan's mom.

I just-- sometimes,
it's complicated.

I don't think you
would understand.

And what is that
supposed to mean?

I'm doing my sit-ups,
and drinking water,

and walking every morning,
and I still just kind of feel

a little bit like a Shar-Pei.

Oof.

I love it when you talk dirty.

You're just
trying to get lucky.

Is that so wrong?

It's so wrong.

It's fine.

I'm gonna get him.

Suzanne, stop.

Stop!

What, do you want some?

Come here.

Stop it, stop!

Stop following me!

Wait, come back!

I love you.

And then two years at
Gianni's before they closed.

Yeah, that was a shame.

Great stracciatelli.

Yeah.

I'm a psych major.

I find it helps me--

you know, comes in handy
when I'm helping customers

and seeing how they react.

I can bench 250.

Oh, that's great.

I'll be in touch.

I'm sure you will.

Hi there.

Hi.

Can I help you?

Yes, I'm here about
the hostess position.

I'm Michael.

I'm the owner.

Yes, I know.

Have we met before?

Not exactly.

No.

Right, have a seat.

So your name?

Suzanne.

Dell.

I don't remember seeing
your application.

Yeah, so the truth is, I
saw the job posting online,

and I just figured I'd crash.

I just moved here
from out of town,

and I really need a steady gig.

So where are you from?

San Francisco.

I spent two years in San Fran.

Worked for a hedge fund.

So you know Dominic's?

I love that place.

I hostess there.

I cannot believe I
never ran into you there.

My loss.

Uh, look, I gotta
be honest with you.

This is only a
temporary position.

My current hostess,
she's in the hospital.

Oh, I'm-- I'm so sorry.

Is she gonna be OK?

I mean, she will be.

They say she'll be back
in a couple of months.

I might have some temporary
work after that, but I--

It's fine.

I am also a personal trainer.

I mean, that's really
what I love doing.

I just need to be able to make
some extra cash until I can

build up a clientele here.

You're not gonna
tell me you have a drug

problem or something, are you?

Well, I do enjoy the
occasional cocktail.

I wouldn't trust
you if you didn't.

Why don't you go
home and get changed,

and I'll see you
back here at 5:00?

I got the job?

Unless I missed
something, yes, you did.

Great.

Thank you.

I-- I'll see you tonight, then.

OK.

I don't know.

I guess I just thought things
would get a little easier.

Hire a nanny.

I'd hire three.

I'm going to.

I'm about to interview one.

Oh, I love taking
care of Evan so much.

I just thought Michael
would be more involved.

Well, he's running
a restaurant.

You know, he's running
a new restaurant.

You know how much work that is.

I know.

I sound like I'm
complaining, but I'm not.

Good.

You know, you found
one of the great ones.

Trust me, I've been through
enough of them to know.

You would know.

Yeah.

She's a rocket.

I'd like to have me a
little hostess cupcake.

I'm just happy she
showed up when she did.

I mean, she's been
a real life saver.

I don't know how
you do it, man.

Do what?

Keep your flag at half mast.

I own this place,
I'd be knocking them

down like bowling pins.

I am married, remember?

I'm still mourning the
death of my wing man.

Hey, anyway, I've changed.

We don't change.

We settle.

Car trouble?

Yeah.

Do, um-- do you have any
idea what we're looking for?

None whatsoever.

Kind of what I thought.

Great.

And of course, I
just canceled my AAA.

Oh.

Here.

Thank you.

Wow.

I had no idea it gets
so cold here at night.

You should see the winter.

I don't suppose maybe you
could give me a ride home?

Sure.

What about your car?

Well, there won't be a
mechanic open this late,

so I'll just call and deal
with it in the morning.

Thank you.

Turn here?

Yeah, it's this older
building on the right.

Old but nice.

It's not that bad.

It's much nicer on the inside.

I should be heading home.

Sure.

Well, thank you for the
jacket and the ride.

Good night.

Your boy didn't make his move?

He will.

I'm just gonna have
to get creative.

See, I was thinking about
shifting these tables over here

into section 4.

Sure, to eliminate
the crossover.

Exactly.

Mm-hm.

You know, I wanna thank
you again for coming in early

to help me out with this stuff.

It's my pleasure.

Um, what's your tattoo?

Which one?

Oh, um, that one's
for my little sister.

She's the angel on my shoulder.

And the devil
on the other one?

I'm sorry, I--

Hi, for one?

Hey, what are you
guys doing here?

See what they don't tell
you after you give birth,

the cravings don't go away.

Spicy Thai noodles.

Yup.

I am sorry, honey.

This is, uh-- this is Suzanne.

Suzanne has been
filling in for Amber.

Suzanne, this my wife Catherine.

Hi, it's so nice to meet you.

Lovely to meet you as well.

And this handsome
little man must be Evan.

Yes, that's him.

He's gonna be quite
the lady killer.

Well, just like his daddy.

Ahem.

Why don't I put
that order in for you?

Great, thanks.

Of course.

Hey, little guy.

She seems really sweet.

Yeah.

It's a shame she's
not pretty, though.

You know, it's kind of a
prerequisite for the job.

Oh, is it?

Yes.

When does it become a
prerequisite for the job?

You know, you guys didn't have
to come all the way down here.

I would have sent someone
to the house for you.

But I never get
to see you anymore.

Kind of feel like Rapunzel
stuck in her tower.

You know what I think?

I think you and I need
to go to New York City.

I think you and I
need some alone time.

We can get a nanny.

I think the prospects of that
are getting higher as we speak.

Well, then I'm gonna
make a reservation.

You are?

Mm-hm.

What the?

Fire!

Honey, over here.

Stay calm.

It's not a problem.

This way, get out!

What the?

I just don't understand how
in the world this happened.

I don't know.

Maybe somebody was
smoking in the basement.

Thank God no one got hurt.

Yeah, there was
smoke everywhere.

I can't reopen until the city
signs off on the cleanup,

and that could take weeks.

Guess that means we're
not going to New York.

I'm sorry, honey.

I just-- I can't.

You're gonna hire
competent people.

It's not like you're gonna
clean the restaurant yourself.

I have to be there, if
I want this done right.

Right, because business
will always come first.

It will when it's on fire.

Hey, look, I am sorry.

You know, the tickets
are already paid for.

Why don't you just go yourself?

Oh, that sounds like fun,
a romantic getaway for one?

OK, go with your sister.

Girls' weekend in NYC, a little
food, a little shopping, some

shows.

I did already hire the nanny.

You're gonna have
a blast, and it's

gonna give me time to
figure out things here.

And then I will plan
us a real vacation.

You better.

Wow, Ariel,
it's beautiful.

Suzanne, stop.

It's not finished yet.

You're the one who
always says that great art is

never finished.

It's abandoned.

Well, I'm not ready
to abandon this one yet.

Hey, it's
really beautiful.

You're beautiful.

Jimmy?

Yeah.

Did you get what I need?

Just call me the candy man.

Nice.

So that's her, huh?

Your sister?

So, uh, what do you plan on
doing to this guy, anyways?

Details aren't
really important.

Oh, the trash
doesn't bother me.

Drinking alone?

What are you guys doing here?

Look at him.

Taking advantage
of the night off.

Thought we'd grab some drinks.

Thought you might
wanna come with.

I got all the drinks
I need right here.

Yeah, but you don't
have the company.

Come on, it'll be fun.

Let's go.

Come on.

No sense in drinking
alone, big boss.

Oh, hey, look.

Stop on the fun train.

Sweet.

I don't think so.

Yeah, no, I agree.

Nothing good is gonna come
from us going in there.

Come on, man,
it'll be a laugh.

I guess there is
strength in numbers.

Right.

We do need a chaperone.

Come on, buddy.

One drink.

We got him.

Yeah, baby!

Here we go, guys.

Good luck shots all around.

Thanks.

I'm good.

Yeah I'll bet you are.

Hey, Michael, what do you
think about new uniforms

for the waitresses?

I am not gonna wear that.

Keep then coming, please.

Will do.

Thank you.

A toast to, um, bottoms up.

Cheers.

Hi.

Do you care for a private dance?

We're good for now.

Speak for yourself.

Right here.

Got lucky.

Oh!

Nobody's gonna come
between our night limousine.

I wonder if you scream.

Let's play hide and seek.

You might win a little peek.

The entree of the week,
a little tongue in cheek.

Let's play hide and seek.

You might win a little peek.

Hey, Suzanne, you
can sit on my lap.

Your lap has had plenty
of company for one night.

What?

Good night, Michael.

Good night!

Bye, you guys!

Taxi?

Why don't we just walk?

Kingdom for a cab.

Let's just walk.

Uh, because we both live
miles in different directions.

Well, no.

I'm-- I'm staying at a hotel
just for a couple of nights.

It's a couple blocks.

Come on.

A hotel?

Yeah, my building
is getting fumigated.

Roaches.

Ah, I hate roaches.

Come on, it's got a great bar.

I really should be going.

One drink, please?

Please, please, please, please,
please, please, please, please,

please, please?

Gonna get it back.

Bottoms up.

Let me ask you something.

Anything you want.

How is it a girl like
you is still single?

I mean, you must have hundreds
of guys trying to break down

your door a second.

I am very selective.

I know exactly what I want.

I can see that.

I'm glad you noticed.

Oh, I noticed.

I really like you.

And I'm really happy that
you came to work for me.

I'm married.

Yeah, I know.

I can't.

No matter how bad
I might want to.

Look, you're a big boy.

Come here.

You don't have to do anything
that you don't want to.

OK.

Well, good morning, sleepyhead.

What happened?

You don't remember?

OK, what the hell
did you do to me?

Well, that's a long list.

Can I have the key?

Sorry?

The key for the handcuffs?

Don't you have it?

Just give me the damn key!

You know, if
you're not careful,

you're gonna hurt my feelings.

Can I have the key, please?

That's better.

But I don't have it.

Where are you going?

Don't worry.

Check out's not till noon.

Suzanne.

Suzanne!

Anything else I
can do for you today?

That's 6.78.

Here you go.

OK, there you go.

See you.

Hi, how you doing today?

Can you help me with that?

Wouldn't be the first,
won't be the last.

Thanks.

All right.

You can keep those.

Thanks.

Hey, baby.

Hey, there you are.

I tried calling you last night.

I was at the
restaurant all night.

You usually have your
cell phone with you.

I just-- I left
it in the office.

And by the time I saw the--
all the messages you had left,

you know, it was just too
late to call you back.

Huh.

Look, I'm sorry.

You know, I'm just--

I'm not myself these days.

So how's the trip going?

Oh, it's-- it's great.

Gwen is downstairs at the
channel, which is probably

what I should be doing.

So how is Evan
liking the new nanny?

Great.

Really?

Yeah.

Oh, I'm so relieved.

Yeah, he's doing great.

They're getting
along really good.

Well, can I talk to her?

You know, honey, she just
took him out for a walk.

OK.

You want me to have her
call you when she gets home?

No.

No, it's fine.

As long as he's happy, then--

then I'm good.

I'll just see you
guys tomorrow, right?

I can't wait to see you.

I love you.

I gotta go, OK?

Bye.

So last night was really fun.

We should make that,
like, a weekly thing.

Yeah.

Uh, has Suzanne called yet?

No, I don't think so.

Maybe she's still recovering.

Yeah, maybe.

Oh, speak of the devil.

Sorry I'm late.

Big night last night.

No kidding.

Can I see you in my office.

Sure, see me
anywhere you want.

Ready to go again so soon?

I don't what you think
happened last night,

but whatever it was,
it was a mistake.

You seemed to be
enjoying yourself.

I don't remember a damn thing.

And why the hell would you
just leave me there like that?

Come on, I was just
having a little fun.

You know what I think?

I think it might be
better for both of us

if you didn't work here anymore.

Oh.

So you slept with me,
and now you're firing me?

Look, it was temporary.

I will give you two
weeks severance.

Gee, thanks, boss.

I will even write
you a reference letter.

Wow.

And what'll it say?

"Excellent people skills
and amazing in bed."

OK, four weeks.

You still don't know
what this is about, do you?

What do you mean?

You're being
punished, Michael.

You've been a very bad boy.

I told you that
it was a mistake.

What the hell do
you want from me?

You were on the right track.

I want money, but
I want $75,000.

Are you-- are you crazy?

I want it in cash by tomorrow,
or I tell your little wife what

her husband likes to do
when she's out of town.

You planned this all along.

I can always spot a
sucker for a pretty face.

Yeah, well, I don't
have that kind of cash.

No?

Come on.

Big high roller like yourself?

Everything that I have
is tied up into this place.

You'll get it.

You're the type that
gets whatever he wants.

I'm not giving you a cent.

Sorry?

No, you heard me.

You can tell Catherine
anything you want.

I'm just gonna deny it.

Who do you think that
she's gonna believe?

Gosh.

Yeah, you're right.

You are a pretty
convincing liar.

Oh, have you checked
your email lately?

Why?

No reason.

See you tomorrow.

You know I wanna
help you out here,

but the line of credit
for the restaurant

is for the restaurant.

Besides, there isn't
that much available.

What about a personal loan?

With your debt ratio, there's
no way I could justify it.

I mean, there must be some
way for me to get this money.

It'd help if you could
tell me what it's for.

Pretty sure it wouldn't.

Well, the only
thing I could suggest

would be a home equity loan.

All right.

Fine, let's do that.

OK.

Um, but since the house
is in both of your names,

you'll need your wife's
signature on the application.

You know, we just had a baby.

Oh, congratulations.

Boy or girl?

Boy.

Oh.

My boy'll be 10 in January.

Best part of my life.

Anyway, it's kind of hard
for her to leave the house,

so can I fill this out here
and run it right over to her?

Sure, no problem.

Michael?

Michael, are you home?

Just a second.

Oh, I missed you so, so much!

And we missed you.

Oh, baby, I missed you.

Mwah.

Oh, I'm so glad to be home.

Look, I'm really sorry,
honey, but I gotta run.

What?

I wanna hear all about
your trip to New York,

so I'll see you tonight?

Well, yeah.

We'll be here.

Say, "bye, Daddy. We'll
be waiting for you."

Yeah?

Say bye-bye?

Bye, Evan.

You are so smart.

Yes, you are.

You look so good.

Thank you.

Let's just get this over with.

Fine by me.

You know, I'm pretty happy
with the way it turned out.

That's great.

I've seen enough.

So shy all of a sudden.

How am I supposed to know
you didn't make copies?

Trust me, if I could erase
the image from my mind, I would.

Never mind making copies.

I'm supposed to trust you now?

I don't really see
where you have the choice.

But for what it's worth,
I keep my promises.

I mean, what is that
even supposed to mean?

I have no interest in
making things messy, Michael.

Do you?

No.

Give me the money.

It's all there.

It's all there!

I just got one question.

Why me?

Maybe it was just your karma.

Not now.

What's wrong?

You got what you
needed, didn't you?

Yes.

Go back to bed.

I'll be there in a minute, OK?

Hey, what happened to Suzanne?

She had another opportunity.

Hey, I know this girl who
could fill in, just until Amber

gets back.

She's super hot.

No.

No, I'm gonna have Marci do it.

Marci?

Yeah.

Something wrong with that?

No.

No, no problem.

Hi.

It's Suzanne, right?

May I come in?

This is Michael.

I knew you were
up to something.

Catherine?

When did you get so
good at keeping a secret?

What are you talking about?

Suzanne?

It's embarrassing, especially
when a woman looks like that.

Honey, I--

I just wish you'd told me
that she's a personal trainer.

Oh, I--

Yeah, she kicked my ass.

Do you really think you
need a personal trainer?

She said it was all your idea.

Yeah, I-- I mean, we
talked about it, but--

Yes, I do.

I think this is exactly
what I need right now.

Hey, Suzanne.

Suzanne!

Hey, hey.

Oh, it's you.

What the hell were you
doing with Catherine?

Oh, she didn't tell you?

We're lovers.

We had a deal.

I gave you what you wanted.

Yeah, and I didn't
tell your wife about us.

So what's the problem?

The problem?

Everything all right?

Yeah, everything's fine.

Jimmy, Michael.

My old boss.

Oh, nice to meet you.

You, too.

I'm good.

What are you trying to pull?

Girl's gotta make a living.

Besides, Catherine
needs my help.

She really let herself
go, didn't she, Mikey?

Listen to me.

I gotta run, but give
my love to your wife.

I can't believe you
just gave her 75 grand.

I didn't really have a choice.

Yeah, you could have had her
whacked for a fraction of that.

How do you know if she doesn't
still have copies of the tape?

Because she didn't
ask me for more money.

Not yet.

I don't know.

Something tells me that
this is more than money.

I mean, you know, it's like
she has an agenda for me.

Maybe it's personal.

You said she's from
San Fran, right?

Are you sure you never--

No.

I mean, you've forgotten
more girls than I've ever met.

And you used to get pretty
blasted back in the day.

Chucky, a guy would
have to be in a coma

to forget a girl like that.

I've got a client.

It's a private investigator.

The coin this guy brings
in, it's gotta be good.

Get him to check her out.

Yeah.

You see, now, that
actually helps.

The only thing is, I'm a
little low on cash right now.

Don't worry about it.

I put him on Yahoo when
it was still in the 20s.

He owes me.

Thanks, Chuck.

Sign here, and your account
will officially be activated.

I really appreciate all
the personal attention.

Well, Michael Miller
is a good customer.

Any friend of his.

Is a friend of yours.

If there's ever
anything I can do.

Oh, well, um, you
know, if it wouldn't

be too much of a bother, I
do need to make a phone call,

and my cell just keeps
cutting out on me.

Of course.
Here.

Thank you.

Oh, um, it's personal.

Oh, sure.

Sorry.

Hello?

Hi, there.

I'm calling from East
Way Federal Bank.

May I please speak
with Michael Miller?

Oh, he's not here right now.

He's at work.

Oh, I already left
a message there.

Is this Mrs. Miller?

Um, yeah.

Mrs. Miller, this is just
a courtesy call to ensure

your husband was completely
satisfied with the service

he received on Monday.

Oh, well, that's nice.

Usually only car dealerships
do stuff like this.

Yes, well, it's
not our usual policy,

but since it was such a
large cash transaction,

we just wanted to make sure
that everything went smoothly.

Hm, what was the transaction?

Oh, I'm not allowed to
give out that information.

Well, I'm his wife.

My name is on all the accounts.

Just check your computer.

One moment, please.

I do apologize, Mrs. Miller.

Your husband took
out $75,000 in cash.

If you have any
further questions

or you'd like any
more information,

please feel free to call
back and speak with the bank

manager.

Have a wonderful day.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Thank you so much.

Anytime.

Michael.

Excuse me.

Hey, honey.

Having cravings again?

No, we need to talk.

Now.

Is something wrong?

$75,000?

Honey--

How could you?

Look, I can explain it.

It was for the restaurant.

I don't care what it was for.

How could you go behind
my back like that?

Because I didn't
want to worry you.

All right, it's a
short term thing.

I fell behind on a few
payments to a few vendors.

Since when do you pay
your vendors in cash?

It was a show of good faith.

What do you think?

I lost it at the
track or something?

I don't know what
to think, Michael.

I really don't.

I thought I could trust you.

You can.

Look, I made a mistake.

I should've come to you.

It will not happen again.

I just don't understand.

I thought business was good.

It is.

Cash flow is just a
little tight right now.

My father said that he
would give you money, Michael.

Catherine, I know
what I'm doing.

I promise you, I've
got this under control.

Hey, it's me.

I'm at Mom and Dad's.

Got late.

Evan fell asleep, so we're just
gonna spend the night here.

I didn't wanna
bother you at work.

Good night.

OK, how many more?

Try not to think about it.

Just keep your mind
on something pleasant.

I am.

Warm chocolate chip cookies.

I hope your husband
appreciates everything

you're doing for him.

It's not just for him.

Come on, now.

If it weren't for men and their
Victoria's Secret expectations,

wouldn't we be kicking back over
some of those warm chocolate

chip cookies right now?

Maybe.

Trust me, it's
all they care about.

I can't even tell you how
many married men hit on me.

You think it's because of my IQ?

It could be.

Yeah.

Men just can't be trusted.

Here we are, ladies.

We have the chef's salad,
and the crab cakes.

Looks amazing.

Do you have everything
you need at the moment?

Yes, thank you.

Great.

Well, enjoy.

I always say I'm
gonna try something new,

but these are just so good.

Oh, oh, God!

There's a bug in there!

What is the problem, ladies?

Michael, there--
there's bugs in there.

Bugs?

Bugs.

I am so sorry.

You really think she
put the roaches in there?

Yes, one of my
staff saw her do it.

Bitch.

Now we've got to fumigate
the whole building.

I lost thousands of
dollars in inventory.

Yeah, and word of mouth is
not gonna be good for business.

I've gotta go to the cops.

With what?

How can you prove
she did anything?

Besides, you risk Catherine
finding out about the affair.

It was not an affair.

I don't think she'll
appreciate the distinction.

I mean, why is she doing this?

What did I do to bring
this woman into my life?

Did you hear back from the PI?

No, not yet.

Let me see if I can
light a fire under his ass.

Could it get any worse?

Well, if there is
an upside to this,

I can't remember the last
time we had dinner together.

When are you gonna
reopen the restaurant?

Friday.

Hm.

Not that I think
anybody is gonna come.

Sweetheart, if you're
worried about money,

you know I can go
back to work soon.

No!

All right, will you
just let me handle it?

What's wrong
with you, Michael?

Wow.

I'm sorry.

I feel like we used to
talk about everything.

You know you're shutting
me out, don't you?

Is there somebody else?

Catherine, how could
you even ask me that?

That's not an answer.

There is no one else.

There never will
be anybody else.

I love you.

I'm just not feeling it
from you lately, I guess.

I'm so sorry, Catherine.

I'm gonna find a way to make
this up to you, I promise.

Mr. Jenkins.

Michael, call me Jim.

So why are we meeting here?

I had to drop off my kid.

My ex was supposed to
do it, but anyway, Chuck

said you were in a hurry?

Yeah, did you
find anything out?

Born and raised in
Oakland, California.

She bounced from state to state
over the years, jumped from job

to job.

Let me skip straight
to the highlights.

She spent three years in
a psychiatric institution

after she tried to
kill her father.

What?

Apparently, there was
a long history of abuse.

Then she's 16 years old,
she comes home one day,

and then she catches the old
man wailing on her sister.

So she goes after him
with a carving knife.

Diagnosis was post-traumatic
stress disorder,

but she got away with
a clean bill of health.

Wait a second.

You said there was a sister?

Yeah, Ariel.

Ariel.

I used to date a girl named
Ariel in San Francisco.

Was it an Ariel Delegan.

Ariel Delegan.

I don't know what to do.

I wish you were here, sis.

You always know what's right.

You're not eating.

Hey.

What's wrong, Ariel?

What is it?

What?

I'm pregnant.

I didn't plan this, but,
Michael, I think it's a sign.

It's not a sign.

It-- it's a mistake.

Well, you love me, don't you?

Ariel, I--

Don't you?

That girl was wild.

You know, she would do anything.

I mean, anything.

It was never gonna
be something serious.

Maybe it was to her.

What did you do?

What do you want me to do?

I mean, I offered
to help, but she--

she took care of it, you know?

You think that's
what this is all about?

It has to be.

How long ago was
it, six, seven years?

It's right before
I met Catherine.

Just seems like a long
time to hold a grudge.

Where was Ariel during all this?

I don't know.

I tried to contact her, but
the number I have for her is

disconnected, so--

Yeah, maybe you should
call the cops after all.

What am I gonna say to them.

I can't prove that
Suzanne did anything.

Besides, if
Catherine finds out--

You have to do
something, all right?

Who knows how far this
girl's willing to go?

Yeah, you're right.

Hello.

Suzanne, it's Michael.

We need to talk.

I know what this is about,
and I want to clear the air.

Do you now?

I am sorry about your sister.

I'm sure you are.

I don't know
what she told you,

but things were never
that serious between us.

Well, you got her pregnant.

I am sorry.

I cannot change what happened.

That's exactly right.

You can't.

No one can.

What do you want from me?

You want me to apologize to her?

Get her on the phone.

I will apologize.

Are you not listening?

We can't!

Why?

She's dead.

She killed herself!

And you don't know
the life she had.

She was the most beautiful,
sweet, innocent little girl.

And you know what?

She would have been
a beautiful mother.

Don't touch me.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know.

You have every
right to be angry.

Do you think that you can
just talk your way out of this?

What do you want me to do?

I mean, whether you believe
me or not, I'm sorry.

I never meant to
hurt your sister.

You didn't mean to hurt her?

You may as well have blown
her brains out yourself.

When I lost her,
I lost everything

that was important to me.

I was this close to joining her.

Do you know what stopped me?

One thing-- the
hope of finding you.

What can I do?

You know what you can do?

You can suffer the way
you made Ariel suffer.

That's what you can do.

This is for you, Michael.

Stop!

I hate you!

Honey?

That's terrific.

I assumed you guys would be
closed a lot longer than that.

No, we reopen tomorrow night.

Great.

Yeah, thanks.

Look, it would really mean
a lot if you and your wife

could make it.

Oh, we can't, Mike.

We got third row for the 76ers.

No, I understand.

I mean, those tickets,
they're hard to come by.

Maybe next week.

OK.

See you soon.

Bye for now.

Oh, yeah.

Of course.

They have the cutest
stuff in there.

God, because he
grows out of stuff so fast.

Hey.

Looks who's home.

What the hell
are you doing here?

Michael.

It's all right, Catherine.

I can only imagine how
stressed he must be.

Well, it's no reason
to be rude, is it?

It's late.

I should probably get going.

I will, um, see you
at the gymbo, yeah?

Yeah, of course.

OK.

What the hell was that about?

Look, I don't know how to
tell you this, Catherine.

I had to let her go.

Well, she said she quit.

She said she wanted to focus
more on her personal training.

No, see, she was
acting strangely at work,

so I checked her out.

And it turns out she's done some
pretty, pretty terrible things.

Like what?

Well, let's see.

To start, she was
in the nuthouse.

Are you talking about
what her father did

to her and her sister?

She told you that?

Yeah.

That's not why you fired
her, though, is it?

No, not just that.

Are you sleeping
with her, Michael?

Of course not, Catherine!

Then why the hell have you
been acting this way lately?

What's wrong with you?

Hey, sweetheart.

Hi, you're OK.

Evan, you're OK.

Good boy.

Oh, you're such a good boy.

What is it?

Is he OK?

Yeah, he's fine.

Look what I found In his crib.

He could have choked
on that, Michael.

She did this.

What?

Suzanne did this.

She put those there.

Are you crazy?

No, she is.

Oh, Michael, please.

Catherine.

What?

You want the truth?

Right before I met you,
I dated Suzanne's sister.

All right?

She was a messed up kid.

It didn't work out.

And Suzanne, she
still blames me.

She started the fire
in the restaurant.

She put these matches
in our baby's crib.

That's why you've
been acting--

Michael, why am I just
now hearing about this?

Because I thought
that I could handle it.

Oh, Michael.

Look, I already fired her.

If we both just
stay away from her,

I mean, what else can she do?

I don't know, but I'm not
gonna wait around to find out.

Catherine.

Hey.

Uh, Susan Dell.

You mean, Delegan?

Yeah, is she here?

Are you a member?

No, I just--

I really need to see her.

I'm sorry, the gym
is for members only.

Is she here or isn't she?

It's important.

She is training Mrs. Littman.

She should be done
in a few minutes.

I'll wait.

Michael.

Listen to me, you crazy bitch.

Wow.

What's gotten into you?

You don't think I know
how those matches ended up

in my son's crib?

Oh, yeah, you should
probably be more careful.

I already told her about you.

She knows everything.

Really?

I bet she doesn't
know everything.

You will stay the hell
away from my wife Catherine!

She will stay the
hell away from my son!

Or else what?

Or else I'm--

Hey, let her go.

Mind your own business.

Wrong answer.

- Hey, it's OK.
- No, no.

Nobody lays hands on you.

Listen, there is
nothing that I wouldn't

do for my family, nothing!

Hey, is Michael in his office?

Thanks.

Hey.

Where's Evan?

He's at Gwen's.

I know I haven't
handled things very well.

No, you didn't.

I'm sorry, but--

I talked to Suzanne.

What did she say?

Well, she said she
was sorry and she never

meant to hurt me or the baby.

So she admitted
to the matches?

No.

No, but she promised that
she would leave us alone.

What do you say we just
get away from everything?

You, me, and the baby?

Michael.

We can go to that little
beach hotel, the one in Maui,

the one where we
spent our honeymoon.

You lied to me.

You let this woman
into our lives.

A vacation isn't just
gonna make it right.

I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

More than anything, I always
thought I could trust you.

I'm gonna go pack a few things
and stay at Gwen's for a while.

Catherine.

You can see Evan
whenever you want, but I--

I need some time to myself.

How many we got
booked tonight?

Just seven so far.

Oh.

Oh!

911,
what's your emergency?

Ma'am, hello?

She's very lucky.

Had she not managed
to dial 911--

Well, what happened?

We're not sure.

Does your wife take
any medications?

No.

What about alcohol?

She has the occasional
glass of red wine.

Is my wife gonna be OK?

She seems stable
at the moment, um,

but she had stopped breathing
by the time the paramedics got

to her.

We'll have a clearer picture
when we get the lab results

back.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Where is he?

In there.

Mr. Miller.

Michael Miller?

What's this about?

Detective Karn, Philly PD.

Stand up, please.

Michael.

Michael Miller, you're under
arrest for the attempted murder

of Catherine Miller.

What?

You have the right
to remain silent.

Michael.

Anything you say can and
will be used against you

in the court of law.

I didn't do nothing!

I want my phone call!

Shut up.

Hey, man, come on!

So how is?

Do you know?

She's doing fine.

They're gonna keep
her for observation,

but she should be out
in a couple of days.

Thank God.

Make a call
first thing Monday.

We'll see if I get your
bail hearing moved up

to the top of the docket.

Monday?

I can not spend the
weekend in here.

You weren't pulled over
for speeding, Michael.

The ice tea that
Catherine was drinking

was laced with ethylene glycol.

That's antifreeze.

Apparently, it
tastes like sugar.

It's Suzanne.

Suzanne did this.

She's the one who
tipped off the police.

Says that you two
were having an affair,

that you're having
serious money problems,

that you talked to her
about killing Catherine

for the insurance.

That is insane!

She says that when she got
scared, tried to break it off,

that you threatened
to kill her, too.

Apparently, there was an
incident outside of her gym?

Eli, she's setting me up.

Police subpoenaed
your financial records.

You recently borrowed
$75,000 in cash?

Eli, it is her.

I am telling you!

At the end of
the day, it's all

gonna come down to
Catherine's testimony.

Catherine would
never believe that I

had anything to do with this.

There's one more thing.

What?

When they searched your
home, in your closet,

they found a video.

Interesting.

Charged with the attempted
murder of his wife,

local restaurateur
Michael Miller

has been released on a half
a million dollars bail.

The judge, however,
issued a restraining order

against Mr. Miller,
who is prohibited

from any contact with his
wife, Catherine Tierney

Miller, the daughter of real
estate mogul Thomas Tierney,

or with his infant son.

Mrs. Miller has been
released from the hospital,

but is unavailable for comment.

We'll continue to follow this
story as we receive updates.

Thanks for bailing me out.

Forget about it.

Just don't leave town.

Hey, I already put in a call
to the best defense attorney

in the city, all right?

Plays golf with
a client of mine.

He'll get you through this.

Maybe, but my
business is finished.

And Catherine--

She knows you never
meant to hurt her.

But I did.

I did hurt her.

Whatever happens, man,
she knows you love her, OK?

Deep down.

She'll get over it.

I know she will.

Why didn't I just tell her
the truth from the start?

Listen, Why don't you
come stay at my place?

All right?

Maybe it'll be easier on you.

No.

Thanks.

All right.

You need anything,
you just wanna talk,

whatever, you give
me a call, OK?

Yeah.

All right.

Oh, my god, look at you.

You look fantastic.

If there was any way I could
cancel tonight, I would. It--

it's just this client is--

I know, honey.
It's fine.

I know.

I-- I already have
Evan sound asleep, so--

I-- I just can't believe
Michael would try to kill you.

I don't believe that at all.

There's no way he would
ever, ever do that to us.

Well, we didn't think he
could cheat on you, either.

Gwen!

I'm sorry.

That's not what I meant.

I-- I take that back.

I know.

It's OK.

I'm sorry.

I can't talk about
this right now.

I feel like my head
is just gonna explode.

Get-- get some sleep, OK?

OK, you be careful.

OK, I love you.

You, too, babe.

He's so happy to be home.

Look at him.

Come on, Evan.

Finally.

First day
in your new house.

Yeah.

Say, "hi, Daddy."

I think he likes your voice.

He's happy around you.

Ugh!

Hello?

Are you ready for
this to be over?

Why?

Are you planning on
turning yourself in?

Cute.

I want you to meet
me at the restaurant.

What the hell do
you want from me now?

I thought you might
want to see your son.

You can't.

Hang on.

I think he wants
to say something.

OK, please don't.

Relax.

It was just a little pinch.

Oh my god, Catherine.

She'll be fine.

I figure that poor woman's
been through enough.

Please, look, I will do
anything that you want.

Go to the restaurant, turn
off the security cameras,

and wait inside.

OK, fine.

And, Mikey, if you even
think about calling the cops,

or calling anyone, I'll know,
and your little boy will

turn up floating in the river.

Where's Evan?

Take it easy.

Someone's watching him
for me, someone who'd

kill his own kid for 10 grand.

I swear, if anything
happens to him.

If anything
happens to him, it's

gonna look like you did it.

I can promise you that.

Let's get down to business.

What you want from me?

You want more money?

A girl like me can
always make money.

What, then?

You're gonna
make a confession.

Let's go.

Come on!

"I am so sorry, Suzanne.

I don't know--" I just--

I can't do this.

I--

Yeah?

Because you told me
there was nothing

you wouldn't do for your family,
and I still have your son.

"I am so sorry Suzanne.

I don't know how things
got so messed up.

I thought with Catherine
out of the picture,

you could finally see
how serious I really was.

All that I ever wanted was for
us to be together, a family.

You, me, and the baby.

I just hope that
someday you will

know the depths of my
feelings and the fire that

burns for you in my soul."

That was moving.

That ought to convince
a jury, don't you think?

All we have to do
is email this to me.

You bring me Evan first.

Share.

Deal's a deal.

Yeah.

Hey, bring the kid.

You got it.

Catherine, Catherine!

What happened?

Evan!

She took Evan!

Who?

Catherine?

Evan!

Almost done.

There.

This is over.

Now, give me my son.

It's over, Evan.

Now Let's go home.

Almost.

Jimmy, take the kid out.

Suzanne, why--

What are you talking about?

We had a deal!

Take him out!

Deal's off.

Give me back my son!

Out, Jimmy!

Give me your phone.

What?

Give me your phone!

What are you doing?

It's not what I'm doing.

It's what you're doing.

You're texting Catherine, so
she knows where to find you.

Find me?

Yeah.

See, it was all just
too much for you.

She couldn't deal with
the guilt and the pain.

What are you talking about?

I thought you were
just gonna frame him.

Oh, I am.

See, Michael here has a
history of being unstable.

His suicide will
seem inevitable.

Suzanne, please.

If we get caught--

We're not getting caught!

In fact, they'll never
even know we were here.

Look, I don't know.

This is--

Shut up, Jimmy!

My sister meant
everything to me.

She shot herself in the
head because of you.

You deserve to die
exactly the same way.

I'm not down with this.

Jimmy, I-- if you don't stop--

Ugh!

Evan!

Hurry, Gwen, please.

We're almost there, OK?

Oh, my God.

Oh, dear God, why are
there so many police?

OK, hold-- hold on.

I don't see them.

Where's Michael?

OK, wait.

I'm-- I'm stopping,
I'm stopping, OK?

Single gunshot.

I don't see him.

Gwen, I don't see him.

- Ma'am.
- My son's in there.

- Stand behind the line, please.
- Let 'em through.

There's my son!

Let 'em through.

How's our baby?

He's OK.

Coming through.
One side.

Thank God.

Looks like your husband was
telling the truth after all.

Jimmy told us everything.

Thank you for
calling Michael's.

This is Amber.

How may I help you?

There you go.

Enjoy.

Thank you, Dylan.

Perfect.

It is just perfect.

Michael, I'm-- I'm so sorry.

There's a small problem.

Not tonight, Marci.

Tonight, I'm having dinner
tonight with my wife.
