(gasping)
(whimpering)
- I don't understand
why you're doing this.
No! No!
(muffled screaming)
(rhythmic music)
- Which means that not only are
we in a position to make
A bid on the langford group,
but we can continue
Our global domination.
We're all set to proceed with
the acquisition,
And the marketing pitch
is ready to be rolled out.
Just waiting on your greenlight.
- Thank you, taylor.
And great job, everyone.
Let's get this deal closed.
Give the langfords no reason to
go with the greenbergs over us.
Fantastic presentation,
ms. Hayes.
- Thank you.
- Your work is never short
of impressive.
- Thank you, you as well,
mr. Covington.
- Well, we aim to please here
at covington construction,
In all areas of service.
- I can't wait to marry you.
- You mean again?
I love that we did
our own thing,
A secret elopement is very sexy,
but I want to tell people
And show off my wife.
- I know, but you have to wait
at least a couple more months,
Or you're going to ruin
the surprise. Okay?
And then we'll get married
in front of everybody.
- Fine.
- And if anyone asks where
we were this weekend?
- We were location scouting
on the coast for the big day.
- Exactly.
- Woah! Hey, now!
This is a place of business.
Does hr need to hear about
you two again?
- You can just admit
that you're jealous, rex.
- Jealous? Hmm, no.
I actually feel bad for taylor,
She has no idea what
she's getting into with you.
- Is that so?
- Yes, ma'am, with this fellow
right here,
You're in for a life of lots
of eye contact,
And heartfelt conversations.
And way too much hair gel.
- Your hair looks great,
honey.
- Thank you.
- Here are the annual
reports you wanted.
- Thank you, rex.
- Ready to move forward
with the acquisition.
It's all good to go.
- Thanks.
- Let's hope.
- Yeah.
(city rumble)
- Yes, mom, I made it here
safely.
- What are you gonna do now?
- I don't know.
- Well, tony and I are always
here if you need us.
- I know, but I don't want
you guys anymore wrapped up
In this than you already are.
I'll figure something out.
- I just...
I want you to be safe.
- I know, I'm safe.
I'm safer here than I was
in greenville.
Um... Has there been any word
from him?
- No. But if I hear anything,
I will let you know.
You should do something nice
for yourself tonight.
When was the last time you let
yourself have a little fun?
- Oh, I don't know,
with everything...
- Put on your favourite boots,
the black-heeled ones,
And take yourself out
for a drink.
You deserve it.
- You know what? That sounds
like a really good idea.
I will do that.
Thanks, mom.
- I love you, kiddo.
- I know, I love you too.
(scream in the distance)
(sombre music)
- Julia confirmed
us for the tasting,
And claude said he can get you
in for a fitting next week.
- Wow, I don't know how
you keep up with all this.
- I am superwoman.
Oh, did your mother get
the test results back from
dr. Henderson?
- Inconclusive, again.
(sighs)
- Has she given anymore thought
to selling the house?
I'm just worried about
her being there all alone
when we move out.
- I don't think she's ready
to do that yet.
What if we... What if
we hired someone else?
- What do you mean?
- I love how much you love
my mom, okay? I do.
But you have so much
on your plate right now,
If we brought in someone else,
someone to...
Make mom their sole focus,
It would take the stress
off everyone.
- Are you sure though?
I mean, mary is doing such
a good job.
- Babe, mary's our housekeeper.
I think we're asking way
too much of her at this point.
Why don't we just talk
to my mom about it, hm?
And go from there.
- Okay.
Bossy as always.
- Bossy? I'm bossy?
- Yeah, you're bossy.
- Oh, I'm the bossy one?
(overlapping chatter)
(chuckling)
(soft music)
Hi, mom.
- Ooh, hello, you two.
- Do you need a hand?
- No, just hand me my cane,
would you?
- Yeah.
- Ah!
- Anything else before I leave?
- Uh no, I think that'll be it,
thank you, mary.
- Good night.
- Mom, what do you say
we go out for dinner tonight,
Maybe rivicci's,
if you're feeling up for it?
- What are we celebrating?
- Life.
(chuckling)
- oh well, alright then!
- Let's go find
you something to wear?
I'll meet you down here.
(soft music)
- Uh, house red, please.
Thank you.
(indistinct chatter)
(chuckling)
- Oh, taylor, please tell mom
about the pitch today.
- It went really well.
I think we have a real shot
at acquiring the langfords.
Mh-mmm.
(phone ringing)
- Oh, uh... Sorry.
- I thought we had that
handled?
- We do, it's done.
It's...
Don't worry about it.
- Did you hear that
the entire langford family
Is coming to our company's
40th anniversary party?
- I didn't,
but that's great news.
(sighs)
Uh, mom is the food okay?
- Yes, it's fine, I'm just
taking a quick intermission.
- Okay.
- Um, the greenbergs had
mentioned that they would make
A bid for the langfords
if they ever decided to sell,
Did that ever happen?
- Yes, uh, yes, it did.
- They did.
- Yeah.
- You know what? A little
competition just makes life
more interesting.
Right? And I really don't think
we need to worry about natalie
and hollis.
(chuckling)
- no. No, we don't.
- Will you excuse me,
I just need to visit the...
- Are you okay, mom?
- Yeah, I'm just uh...
A little dizzy spell,
I think that's all...
- Mom?
Ooh!
(exclaiming)
- Are you okay?
- Hi, I'm nora, I'm a registered
nurse. May I?
- Oh, yeah, please.
- Lay her on her back.
- Oh, hold on.
- I'm just gonna loosen up
your collar a little bit,
And let's raise her legs just
so they're above her heart.
- Let's get your legs up.
- How are you feeling?
- Better.
It was just a dizzy spell.
- Could you touch your pointer
finger to your nose for me?
How are your fingers,
any tingling?
- No. No, it's going away now.
- Okay.
We could probably sit her up.
One foot at a time here.
- There we go, nice and easy.
- You should probably
get checked out,
Just to make sure nothing more
serious isn't going on.
Is there someone that I could
call for you?
(sighs)
- I'll give her doctor a call
as soon as we get home.
- Uh, mom, do you want to go
to the hospital?
- No, no, dear. I'm better now,
it was just a dizzy spell.
- Alright,
well, in the meantime,
Lots of fluids and, um,
Just try to take it easy until
you can see your doctor.
- Nora, was it?
- Yeah.
- Thank you.
- Yeah, of course.
- You okay?
- Hmm.
(sighs)
- So, you know, taylor and I
were talking today,
And we think it might be
a good idea,
If you want to stay
in the house,
That we...
Hire someone else to come
in and help you with
the day to day stuff.
- That might be a good idea.
It might be nice to have
someone else around.
(chuckling)
- Okay, we'll start lining up
the interviews then.
But, uh, let's just get you home
tonight, okay?
(indistinct chatter)
Uh, nora?
Hi, I'm connor.
Listen, I don't know
your situation, employment
Or otherwise, but we're actually
interviewing caregivers
For my mother tomorrow now.
And we'd love if you could
stop by.
If you're interested, that is.
Address is on the back.
- I'd love to. Thank you.
- Great.
See you tomorrow.
- Yeah.
(city rumble)
(mysterious music)
- So why do you think emma
was calling last night?
- I don't know.
I mean, maybe she heard about
the engagement.
I love you.
I chose you.
- You know she blames me for
you guys splitting up, right?
- Yeah, our breakup
was definitely hard for her,
But it had nothing
to do with you.
Okay, it did.
Just... Just keep your distance,
And I'll do the same.
- Okay.
- Okay.
(birds chirping)
(♪)
(knocking)
Nora, hi!
- Good morning, mr. Covington.
- Oh, you can just
call me connor.
Please, come in.
Mom, nora's here.
- Ooh, hello, nora!
- Good morning, mrs. Covington.
How are you feeling today?
- Oh, much better.
- Good, good.
Your home is beautiful.
- Oh, thank you.
- We're so sorry that taylor
couldn't be here,
She had to head into
the office today.
Do you have a resumé?
- Yes.
- Thank you.
- Connor, would you do the tour?
- Oh, of course.
Right this way.
(clears throat)
So, as you can see,
my mother's in poor health.
The doctors can't quite put
their finger on what's going on.
Rapid heart rate, fatigue,
shortness of breath,
Even the smallest
of things are challenging
for her at this point.
So, I want to make sure
she's comfortable and cared for
While we figure it all out.
- Of course.
- Okay. Right this way.
- This place
really is something.
- Yeah, my dad designed it.
He restored it in the early 90s,
After their construction
business went national.
- Wow!
- My parents started in general
contracting in the 80s,
And grew to be one of the most
sought-after building companies
in north america.
Built their whole business
from the ground up.
(intriguing music)
Pun intended.
Tell me about your last job.
- I used to work for an elderly
woman in greenville.
- Oh, why did you leave?
- Oh, mrs. Covington,
your house is beautiful.
I mean, this kitchen,
I couldn't imagine getting
to cook here every night.
- Sadly, it doesn't get
the attention it deserves.
- Okay, so it looks
like you've already got
a schedule going here.
- My daughter-in-law
to be runs a very tight ship.
- So this says that you're
taking lansoprofen and divipril
together, is that right?
- Well, if that's what
the schedule says...
- Those two medications have
very serious interactions when
taken together.
These easily could've
caused your dizzy spell
the other night.
How long have you been
on this schedule?
- Oh, um...
- I think she just started
but I'll have to confirm
with taylor.
She's the one that talked
to the doctor.
- Uh, well, I could speak
with taylor if you'd like,
But in the meantime,
you should really talk to
Whoever prescribed you these
and get this sorted out.
- Have you taken your medication
today, mom?
- Oh dear, uh...
- It looks like you haven't yet
today, so you know what?
Why don't we just hold off
on it until you can speak
with your doctor?
- I'll call him as soon
as we're done here.
- Great. Uh, what's next?
- Ooh, let me show you
the sun room.
- Oh, wow!
(chuckling)
- Are you okay, mom?
- Just getting my bearings,
it's...
(sighs)
So, do you enjoy
gardening, nora?
- Uh, yes. Yes, I love it.
I would spend all day
with flowers if I could.
Especially if I had plants
as magnificent as these.
Although, these orchids
are stunning,
But I think they need
a little new bark.
If you change
it out regularly it keeps
the weeds and the pests down,
But it also helps
them bloom more often.
- Oh!
(phone ringing)
- Oh. Oh! I am so sorry.
I thought I put this on silent.
- Oh, it's alright.
Shall we continue the tour?
- Yes, let's.
Thank you, dear.
Thank you so much
for coming, dear.
- It was my pleasure.
- We'll be in touch.
- Okay.
(birds chirping)
- Hello?
- Hi, yes.
I'm calling on behalf
of nora reed.
You were listed on
her resume as a reference.
- Hi! I'm so glad you called!
Nora is fantastic,
we just adore her.
- Oh, and she worked for you
in what capacity?
- As a caregiver
for my mother-in-law.
- Hey, nora!
Nora, open the door,
I know you're in there!
I just want to talk to you.
Open the door!
Nora!
(knocking aggressively)
nora!
I'm not signing
these divorce papers.
Not until we talk about this.
(phone ringing)
(suspenseful music)
(panting)
(keys jangling)
(phone ringing)
- Hello, mr. Covington,
I'm sorry I missed
your call earlier.
- Oh, not a problem.
I hope I'm not
interrupting anything.
- No, uh, no, nothing.
- Good.
So listen, we'd love
to offer you the position.
- Really? Um, oh wow.
That's fantastic!
Yes, I accept.
- Great, would you like to come
by tomorrow to discuss details?
Let's say 9 am?
- I will be there.
- Thank you, nora.
We'll see you tomorrow.
- See you tomorrow,
mr. Covington.
(trembling breath)
(cell phone vibrating)
(menacing music)
(birds chirping)
- Okay.
Here's your tea.
- Thank you, dear.
- You're welcome.
Your coffee.
- Thank you.
- Don't forget, we have
a cake-tasting this afternoon.
And nora, I hate to do this
to you but...
- Are you okay to start today?
We have a few fires we need
to put out at the office.
- Oh! Yeah, of course,
I'm happy to help.
- Thank you so much.
I left a note with
the hour and salary details,
And I'm happy to chat
about it when we get home.
- And her medication list is--
- Oh, yeah, about that,
Did you have a chance
to speak with June's doctor
About switching out either
the lansoprofen or the divipril?
- I did.
Thank you for catching that.
- Oh, I'm glad I did.
- Anyway, her eating schedule
and her dietary restrictions
Are just on the side
of the oven.
- Great. I'm sure we'll be fine.
- Oh, I know you will.
- We have to go.
- Yes. Okay.
- Nora, thank you again. Mom.
- Have a great day.
- Bye.
(sighs)
And then there were two.
(chuckling)
Do you know how
to play gin rummy?
- I don't, actually.
But I would love to learn.
- Ooh. Come over here.
- Okay.
(chuckling)
- Ooh! Don't forget you have
to discard.
(coughing)
Oh...
Would you mind getting
me a bit of water?
- Yep, of course.
(mysterious music)
Uh, actually, nora,
could you make it tea?
- Yes.
- Thank you, dear.
- Frank! Please, have a seat.
What can I do for you?
- Well, as you know, we have
to run a diagnostic on the...
Company's financials
for the potential
langford acquisition.
We're bringing
in a forensic accountant
To do a deep dig into
the financials,
To ensure everything's
in tiptop shape.
Should they agree to sell
to us.
- Okay, uh...
- Now, there's nothing to be
concerned about.
It's routine.
I just wanted you to know
so you'd have a heads up
Before we dig in.
- Alright, um, thank you,
frank, I appreciate that.
- You're welcome.
- Hey!
Sorry to interrupt, hi frank,
how are you?
- Hey, you.
- Can I steal you away
for a minute?
I need to get
your opinion on something.
- Yeah, yeah.
Are we good? Thank you.
(knocking)
- Hi.
- Oh, hi. Who are you?
- I'm nora, I work for
the covingtons. Sorry, you are?
- I'm emma. Is connor home?
- No, he and taylor
are at the office.
- On a Sunday?
- Would you like me
to leave a message for him?
- No, that's alright.
I'll try him another time.
- Oh, thank you, dear.
Um, who was that?
- Emma?
What?
- Emma?
- Hmm, that's what she said.
- That poor girl.
- Why, who is she?
(sighs)
- She and connor were together
for a long time.
Before taylor.
And when connor ended it,
she took it very badly.
She broke into taylor's office
and trashed the place.
- Oh...
- So, just to be safe,
if you see her again,
Just keep your distance.
- Okay.
(clears throat)
- Um, your turn.
- Oh, good!
(keys jangling)
- Oh, my--
- hello, nora.
What, you're not happy
to see me?
I just wanted to say hey,
Let you know that I'm also new
to the neighbourhood.
I'd also like to say,
that little stunt you pulled,
Sneaking off into the night?
So cliché.
It actually worked.
But alas, here we are.
- Ben...
- I will always find you,
No matter where you go,
no matter how hard you try.
You know, I'm always two steps
ahead, lee.
Sorry, nora.
Nice rebrand.
- What do you want, ben?
That new family
you're working for,
Do they know who you really are?
About what happened to the last
family you worked for?
(tense music)
I'll take that as a no.
So what do you say,
How about you get me
what I'm owed,
And I'll sign the divorce
papers and be out of your life
for good?
- I'm not gonna steal from them.
I think you should reconsider.
Your mom's new place is cute.
And I saw that she
and tony got a dog.
A great big one.
Was that because of me?
Get me into that house,
Or I might just have to take
a visit to your mom's new ranch.
- I will call the police.
I will. I will tell them--
- Do that-- do that and your mom
will pay the price.
You have a few days.
Or I might just have
to do it myself.
(panting)
(suspenseful music)
(sighs)
- Here you are.
- Oh, thank you, dear.
- You're welcome. Enjoy.
- Yeah, this all looks good.
- Good enough for the langfords
to pick us over the greenbergs?
(sighs)
- I'm not sure.
- So what do we do?
- Okay. Set up a meeting
with the langfords,
See if we can appeal
to their ethos.
- We already tried that.
They want to remain
as objective as possible.
Besides, they're coming
to the party.
- Okay, okay. Then let's set up
a meeting with the greenbergs.
Like a dinner or something.
- You want to have dinner
with our biggest rival
In the middle
of a heated bidding war?
- Why not? Acquiring langfords
was one of my dad's
Biggest goals and we are this
close to making it happen.
I'll do anything at this point.
- Okay. Fine.
I'll set something up,
We'll see what we can do.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
See you at home.
(sighs)
- Good.
- Afternoon, June!
- Afternoon, mary.
- Oh!
- Good afternoon.
- Hi, I... Who are you?
- Oh, this is nora,
my caregiver.
- Oh, oh I didn't realize
you were looking for someone
to formally do that.
- Is there a problem?
- Uh, no.
No, I've just been acting
in that role for June
For the past few months.
- Well, we all felt that having
an extra pair of hands around
the house
Would be a good idea.
- Hmm.
- Oh, and we replaced
the vacuum.
- Oh.
- So just let me know
if you need anything else.
- Will do.
It was nice to meet you.
- You as well.
Uh, June, I'm just gonna
tidy up the kitchen.
Where do you keep your extra
paper towels?
- Oh, in the garage.
- Okay, thanks.
(door slams)
(door rattling)
(knocking)
June?
June? I think I locked
myself in.
(vacuum cleaner whirring)
(knocking loudly)
hello? Mary?
(engine revving)
(ominous music)
(panting)
(knocking)
hello?!
(grunting)
somebody help me!
(panting)
Somebody!
(breathing heavily)
- Just breathe, just breathe!
Deep breath, deep breath.
Shh, it's okay.
- I just don't understand
how this happened.
- Me neither.
- Well, that door has been
finicky for a while now,
I'll get the handyman
in to fix it.
- It's a good idea.
And we should disable
the push button keys until
the door is fixed.
Are you sure you don't want
to take the afternoon off?
We'd totally understand,
I mean, I can handle June.
- No, it's okay.
- Are you sure?
I'm already here.
- I know, I know.
But it's my job to give
the care, not receive it, so.
I'm fine.
Why don't we get out
of the house for a bit?
It's the perfect day for it.
- Hmm. You sure?
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay.
- Thanks, mary.
- Have fun.
- What? Are you serious?
- I know.
- I mean, the last thing
we need is that girl suing us
Because she gets locked
in our garage.
- If that's even what happened.
I mean, she could've set it up.
Anyway, I'm happy to keep
an eye on things here.
I mean, it has just been
me and June for years now.
I know her routine.
- No, that's a really good idea.
Thank you, mary.
I really appreciate it.
I don't know what
we would do without you.
- Anything for your family.
I'll see you later.
- Okay. Bye.
(♪)
- Hey.
- Hey.
- We have a marketing meeting
in two minutes.
- Right, I'll be right there.
Okay.
- Hmm.
Oh, what are those?
- These are memory care cards.
So the general idea
is that they keep your mind
in tiptop shape.
- Hmm. Sounds like fun.
- Do you want to try them?
- Sure.
- Okay.
Name three state capitals.
- Albany. Uh...
- No? That's okay, we can just
try a different card.
Name three types of dog breed.
- Poodle, labrador...
Um.
- I think we've had enough
of these for today.
June, it is so quiet here.
- Hmm, that's one of the reasons
roy and I chose this spot.
We knew we'd be in the city
a lot for work,
So we wanted to create a space
where we could relax and detach.
- How long were you married?
- Almost 35 years.
- What was your secret?
- Communication.
Always communicate.
- You know,
I've been meaning to tell you.
Your diamonds are...
Spectacular.
I don't think I've ever seen
a ring like that before.
- Oh... Roy had this made for
our 20th wedding anniversary.
- Must have cost a fortune.
- Yes, it did!
Oh, you should see
the brooch he had made
For when connor was born.
That man loved to show
his affection with diamonds.
And art.
I try to keep most
of his pieces in a safe place,
And then rotate them,
when I remember.
He was very good that way.
He always chose things he knew
would appreciate in value.
- Well, I guess diamonds really
are a girl's best friend.
- Well, they're not an enemy.
(chuckling)
(soft music)
- Natalie. Hollis.
To what do we owe the pleasure?
- So glad you could make it.
We got your invite to dinner.
- Yes.
- But we felt this would be
more appropriate.
We aren't backing out of
the langford bid,
We need them to extend
our company's capabilities.
- Understood. As do we.
But we wanted--
- No. No. There are no buts.
We appreciate you trying
to... What, bribe us?
Give a sob story?
Whatever you were going for,
But us backing out
of the langford deal
is not going to happen.
We're acquiring langfords.
Okay?
And we will do whatever we need
to do to make that happen.
The reign of the covingtons
has been fun, but...
I think it's time for somebody
new to take over.
Hey! We look forward
to outbidding you.
- Okay. Uh, thanks, guys.
Can you give us the room?
We'll figure out the next step
here.
- What just happened?
- I'm not entirely sure.
- Okay, so what are we gonna do?
- We stay the course.
- They threatened us!
- I don't think they meant
anything literally.
This type of thing happens
all the time.
Our concern level, I think
we should be at a four.
On alert, but not hitting
the panic button yet.
I love your problem-solving
face.
I have to run some errands
but... I'll see you at home.
- Okay, see you at home.
(gasps)
Oh my god!
Why are you like this?
- Just needed a minute alone
with you.
Don't worry, no one saw.
- You're ridiculous,
this is a place of work, rex..
- Yes, my lady, it is.
Did you hear about this audit
thing frank's doing?
- No.
- Well, you didn't hear
it from me, but
They brought in a forensic
accountant to make sure
Everything checks out.
- Okay, are you worried about
them finding something?
- Shouldn't be anything.
- You're the cfo.
Are you worried about them
finding something or not?
- No. Everything's fine.
- Okay.
Wait at least a minute before
you come out after me.
And do not do this again,
I'm serious.
- You are very sexy
when you're serious.
(scoffs)
- gotta get home, rex,
I'll see you later.
(ominous music)
Rex?
(car beeps)
(soft music)
(phone chimes)
- Okay, that is sketch as hell.
Everyone is one the internet
in one way or another.
- I know. And I couldn't find
anything substantial.
I mean, no social media
or anything.
- Well, let me have steve
look into it.
I mean, he does background
checks for a living.
Consider it
an early wedding present.
- Okay. But if connor asks,
this was your idea.
(chuckling)
- aye, aye, captain.
Now, for the real reason we're
here, your bridesmaid dresses.
- Okay, I'm thinking,
for the flowers,
Definitely non-traditional,
I'm thinking red.
Is that crazy?
- No, I love it!
(suspenseful music)
- So how was coffee with lucy?
- It was good.
Really good. Yeah.
- Did we finally sort out all
of the bridesmaid's dress drama?
- Hmm, here's to hoping.
Oh, I wanted to let you know.
Just in case you do find out,
Lucy is gonna have steve
do an in-depth background check
on nora,
Just to be safe. I mean,
we do it for all our employees
Here in the company,
so we should do it for people
coming into our home.
- Yeah. Uh, yeah, you're right.
With everything going on,
I didn't even think to do
a background check
Before hiring her,
but absolutely.
- I'll take care of it.
- Thank you.
- I'll see you later.
- Mm-hmm.
- Bye.
(ominous music)
(♪)
(car door slams)
(mysterious music)
(men laughing)
(glass shattering)
(suspenseful music)
(gasps)
(sighs)
- What you did tonight
was very dangerous.
- I know, okay, but I needed
to know what this was about.
I mean, when you search
her name,
Nothing of substance
comes up.
- Lucy has steve doing
a background check, right?
(sighs)
- yes.
- Then you don't need to be
following weird, ominous notes
Left by crazy people on your car
in the middle of the night.
- Okay. I won't do it again.
- Hey, you and mom
are everything to me.
- Somebody wanted me
to have this.
- How do we know
it's about nora?
- Uh, caregiver? Greenville?
I mean, you don't think
that's a huge coincidence?
- Somebody is messing with you.
Now please, please just come to
me the next time this happens.
- Okay. Promise.
- Okay.
Now let's get some sleep.
We have some crazy days ahead
of us before this deal closes.
- Okay.
Private home-care nurse,
lee griswald, was accused today
Of malpractice after
the family she worked for
Found her forcefully taking
a patient to and from
The doctors against their will.
The reason for the appointments
hasn't been confirmed,
But the sources speculate
the caregiver was suffering from
Factitious disorder imposed
on another
Formerly known
as munchausen by proxy.
(sinister music)
(sighs)
(dial tone)
- Hello, you've reached madisen
peters at the daily star.
Please leave a message
and I'll get back to you as
soon as I can.
- Hi, this is taylor hayes,
I'm calling in regards
to an article you wrote about
A caregiver named lee griswald.
If you could give me a call back
whenever you get a moment,
That would be fantastic.
Thank you.
- Who were your best friends
growing up?
- Oh, I know this one.
Kay and amy.
(chuckles)
- I see you already
have your tea.
- Uh, yes, nora made it for me.
- Oh.
- Oh, taylor, did you remember
to give nora her invite?
- No, I didn't.
Here, I have one.
- Nora, you are cordially
invited
To the covington construction
40th anniversary party.
- Oh, wow.
This is very exciting.
(chuckles)
I would be honoured.
- Good.
- It's gonna be really nice
to have you there.
Bye.
- Bye, dear.
- Except I'm not sure
I would have anything to wear.
- Oh, uh, I'm sure we can
fix you up with something.
I have a closet full of gowns
That don't get nearly
enough use.
- Wow.
- Hey, mary.
- Hi.
- Can I ask you something?
- Sure.
- Can you...
Continue to keep an eye on
things around here?
With nora and...
Just wanna make sure everything
is good.
- Did something else happen?
- No, not yet.
But better safe than sorry,
right?
- Of course.
- Yeah.
Thank you.
And again, can we just keep
this between us?
- Sure.
- Thank you.
See ya.
- See ya.
(mysterious music)
Where'd nora go?
- Oh, she's just getting
me a shawl.
- Ah.
- Yes, no, I will see you in 10.
- Connor!
- Whoa, emma.
- Connor, hi.
I know you're with taylor now.
I just wanted to say
I'm sorry for all of it.
My behaviour was childish
and uncalled for but I--
- Really? Because leaving
that note for taylor was insane.
What exactly was your plan?
- What?
- Luring her to the park,
that same stunt you pulled
When we first started dating.
I mean,
It was romantic back then, I
guess, but now it's just creepy.
- Connor... I...
It wasn't me, I swear.
- Uh-huh. Just like you didn't
trash taylor's office?
- Connor, I told you I never
did that.
Check the security footage!
- The footage you deleted?
Emma, if you weren't there
that night,
Then why was your car outside
the building?
- Because I was there that night
to talk to you!
But I didn't go inside, I swear.
You need to see this.
- I can't do this anymore.
- Connor, please.
- It's over.
You need to accept that.
- Was that emma?
- Yeah. It was.
(car starts)
- we can talk to the cops,
you know?
She's violated her restraining
order more than once.
- I'll take care of it.
Let's just get to the office,
alright?
- Alright.
- Oh. Thank you, dear.
- I'm gonna make your lunch now
so you can take your medication.
(sighs)
(suspenseful music)
what are you doing?
- Giving June her medication,
she always gets it this time--
- After lunch, I know.
All I a, saying is that this
is what I am here for,
To care for June.
- I was only doing it
because you--
- I know, I know,
but this is my job
And I would really prefer it
if you'd let me do this.
Thank you though.
(sighs)
(mysterious music)
(dial tone)
(phone ringing)
- Hi, yes, I'm calling because
I'd like to file
An anonymous complaint against
one of your teachers.
I'll hold.
(suspenseful music)
(sighs)
Hey. Are you okay?
What's going on?
- Uh... Yeah. Yeah.
- No, I know you,
you're not okay.
Is it about emma? Because--
- no, no, why? What?
- Well, I just heard that
she was brought in
For questioning today
For inappropriate behaviour
with a student.
- Wha--
- I know. Sarah's daughters
Go to hartwood high and
they were just talking about it
In the break room.
- I can't believe that, um--
- I know. I know.
That woman is dangerous.
I mean, I'm so glad
that she's out of your life.
Out of our lives.
- Yeah.
- But if that's not it,
then what is it?
- Um... Not here.
- Okay.
- Here it is.
- Oh, lovely.
- You're okay to get started
on the frosting?
- Oh, yes. Sure.
- I am going to call a pharmacy
about your prescription.
- Okay.
(mysterious music)
- All good?
- Mm, all good.
- Okay. You can do the honours.
(sighs)
- What?
- Yeah.
Frank said there's nothing
to be concerned about.
- But there could be.
I mean, did he say
when this started to happen?
- Sometime in the last
few years.
- Okay, so then if someone
is stealing from the company,
Then it would be likely someone
who was hired
Right around the same time as
the money started disappearing.
- Not necessarily.
It could be anyone.
Like I said, just keep this
between us, okay?
- Yeah, okay, okay.
My lips are sealed.
(suspenseful music)
- Oh.
What are you doing?
- Yeah, nothing.
The... Yeah. There was a...
There was a big spider web
up there, so.
But, I got it, so...
So, we're good.
I'm just gonna get back to June.
(sighs)
- Ooh, there they are.
- Sorry, we got held up.
(chuckles)
- are you hungry?
- Nora made the best chicken
marsala
I've ever had in my life.
- Really?
- Well, we cannot say
no to that.
- No, no, no.
Uh, mom, where's your cane?
- Oh, uh, I've been feeling
a lot stronger recently.
- She hasn't used it all day.
- Nope.
- Wow! I haven't seen you
without a cane in years.
Uh, nora, who are you and what
have you done to my mother?
(laughing)
- Don't--
- did something happen?
- Oh, no, I was just saying,
Because my mom wasn't using
her cane.
- Oh.
- I'll get out of your hair.
Enjoy your dinner.
I will see you all tomorrow
for the party.
- Thanks, nora.
- Taylor, could I just speak
to you for a second?
- Of course, yeah.
- So, you wanted me to let
you know
If I notice anything
else odd--
- Yeah.
- About nora?
Well, this afternoon,
I noticed her trying to move
the camera out front.
Now, I know she said
she was going for a cobweb,
But she was definitely trying
to move the camera.
- I don't know
why she would do that.
- I have no idea. I think you're
right though,
There's something definitely up
with that girl.
- Yeah, definitely.
Okay, um, thank you.
- Of course.
- Okay.
(humming)
- nora!
- Yeah.
- I don't know what it is
that you are up to,
But whatever it is,
I will figure it out.
The covingtons are like
family to me,
And I won't let anything
happen to them.
- I don't know what
you're talking about.
- Ugh, the stunt in the garage.
Trying to take over my duties,
Weaselling your way into
their lives.
What are you after? Their money?
- I'm not after anything.
- Then why did you move
the cameras?
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Look, I'm onto you.
And as soon as I figure out
what it is you're up to,
I will have no problem exposing
you to the covingtons.
Or the police.
- Goodnight mary.
(sighs)
- How was yoga?
- Good.
You should try it with me
sometime.
Might help with all that tension
you're carrying.
- I am not carrying tension.
Okay, maybe a little.
I will think about it.
- That's all I'm asking.
- What is this?
- Part of the results
of the background check.
Steve still has a few more
things to check out
But I thought you should see
this.
- Nora's resume?
- Now, I'm not supposed to know
this, because the reports
Are supposed to be confidential,
but whatever.
Looks like that number, the one
nora put down as a reference,
Is actually registered to her.
Like, a web-based number.
You can buy them online
and link them to your cellphone
provider number.
- Why would she do that?
- I don't know, but it's an odd
thing to do
If you've got nothing to hide.
- Yeah, I'd say.
(phone ringing)
- yes, this is taylor hayes.
- Hi, this is madisen peters
returning your call.
- Miss peters, thank you so much
for calling me back.
- It's my pleasure.
What can I do for you?
- The article you wrote
a few years ago
About a caregiver and
malpractice.
I'm just wondering,
why were the charges dropped?
- May I ask
why you're interested?
- Uh, the caregiver, she's being
considered for a position
With a friend of mine and
so I just wanted to make sure
That everything is above board.
- Well, I can't really send
you personal details,
But I can say that that family,
the wyatts, they're a mess.
I'd stay far away from them
if I were you.
- Does the name nora reed
ring a bell to you?
- I don't remember any nora,
but then again,
This whole story was
a while ago.
Turns out it was the son
or the brother just after
insurance money.
I gotta run,
I'm getting another call.
- Uh, okay.
Thank you for your time.
Bye.
(sighs)
Hi.
- Hi.
- Ah, what a day.
- Hey, how'd it go?
- Hey! Oh, it was great.
You know it's always great
to see luce.
I didn't know that nora was
coming in today?
- I asked her to come.
The plants needed a little
extra help.
- Oh, okay.
How's the game?
- I don't want to jinx it,
but we're winning.
(mysterious music)
(phone ringing)
(phone ringing)
- June, I will pick up
that fertilizer first thing
in the morning.
- Ooh, thank you dear.
- Can I get anything for you,
taylor?
- No, I'm fine.
- Okay, great.
Uh, well, I will see you
all tomorrow.
- Mm-hmm.
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
- Babe, come sit down.
- Um, I'm gonna join you in
a bit. I'm gonna take a bath.
- Okay.
(sombre music)
(phone rings)
- Hello.
- Hey. Hey, it's me.
I just was calling to say
that I love you.
- I love you too, lee.
Is everything alright?
- Yeah. Yeah, it will be.
Okay, I'll talk to you soon.
- Nora, right?
Look, I don't know
what you've heard about me.
- I don't want any part of this.
Whatever--
- Can you just--
- whatever's going on with you--
- Make sure that connor
gets this. Please.
There's things in here he needs
to know.
(suspenseful music)
- Here you go.
- Ooh.
- It's a big night tonight,
so we need to keep hydrated.
(chuckles)
- thank you, dear.
- Morning, nora.
You want any coffee?
- No, thank you.
June, can I make you something
to eat?
- Ooh, thank you, yes.
(phone ringing)
- Would it be alright if
I just took this phone call,
I'll make you something
right after.
- Yes, of course dear, yes.
Connor dear.
- Yeah.
- The lawyer sent over a copy
of the new will this morning
And I noticed there was
no mention of the prenup.
- I told you,
mom, it's not necessary.
Taylor and I have no plans
on getting a divorce.
(clears throat)
- Well, it's just for safety.
- I know, I know. But we don't,
we don't need it.
It's okay.
(scoffs)
(sinister music)
- I don't know. I wish...
(indistinct whispering)
Yes, I know. Mm-hmm.
Come on, I'm trying.
Fine.
- Is everything okay?
- Yes. Yeah.
Excuse me, I'll get back
to June.
Are you alright?
- Um, actually, I'm feeling
a bit under the weather.
Would it be alright if
I just laid down for a while?
- Yeah, of course.
(clears throat)
- Oh, okay. Yeah, let's get
you to bed.
(sighs)
- Nora.
- I'll be up in a minute, June.
(mysterious music)
Taylor, who are you?
- She can't go to the party
like this.
Have we called the doctor?
- Yes. Four times.
He's away for his daughter's
wedding.
- Mom, what do we do?
We have to go to make
the final bid to langford.
- No, no. You go.
I'll be alright.
- I'll stay with her.
- Are you sure?
- Mm-hmm.
Of course.
I'll get some fluids into you,
We'll get this fever down.
- Should we take separate
vehicles?
Just in case one of us wants
to come back and check on her.
- Yeah, that's probably
a good idea.
- You two go, have a good time.
I'm in good hands.
(chuckles)
(mysterious music)
- Hey.
- Hi.
- I'm headed out.
- Hey. Okay. Sounds great.
I'll meet you there.
- Okay.
- Okay.
(suspenseful music)
(sighs)
(indistinct chatter)
- Fantastic party, as per usual.
- Thank you. Would you expect
anything less?
- From you? Of course not.
Look, this is totally
inappropriate timing,
But steve just got back to me
with the rest
Of the background check,
And there's a few things
you should hear.
- Okay.
- So, your caregiver,
Her legal name isn't nora reed,
it's lenora reed griswald.
That's why she had no social
media accounts,
They're not under nora reed.
And...
Her last patient nearly died of
mysterious circumstances.
- The headline.
- Apparently, she was
the caregiver for a family
For years and something went
wrong near the end.
The family, mainly the son,
claimed malpractice,
But no charges were
ever brought.
- Who's the family?
- They are the wyatts.
And it looks like nora might be
married to said son.
- I bet nora was involved.
Thank you so much.
I need to go, okay?
(mysterious music)
(suspenseful music)
- Thank you, mr. Langford.
We look forward to doing
business with you.
We did it, they're gonna sell
to us.
- Honey, congratulations.
- I couldn't have done it
without you.
- Happy to help.
When does the deal close?
- Monday. On Monday,
this company will be worth
Double than what it is
right now, can you believe that?
- No, I cannot.
- Let's get a glass of champagne
to celebrate.
- I would love to,
but you know what?
I'm gonna stop by the house and
check on your mom.
She's not feeling well and
I'm really worried about her.
- Are you sure? Did you want me
to go with you?
- No, no, no. It's okay. This
is a huge night. You stay, okay?
And I will call you with
an update. Okay.
- Okay. I love you.
- I love you too.
Bye.
(gasps)
- Time's up, lenora.
Oh, don't look so surprised.
The safe?
- Yeah.
- Where's the safe?
- It's...
It's the first door
on your left up there.
(panting)
- You bitch.
- What?!
- You framed me!
- I don't have time for this.
Let go.
(grunts)
(grunts)
- you used me!
You said you loved me
and that if I helped you,
You would run away
but you lied!
- Yeah, I did! So what?!
Get off me!
- Huh? What are you gonna do
about it, huh?
- This!
(grunts)
(panting)
(suspenseful music)
- The code is 5-0-8-1.
(electronic beeping)
(sighs)
- are you sure?
- Yeah. I... Mm-hmm.
(electronic beeping)
(sighs)
- what's the code?
- Give me the code!
- I--
- What is it?!
- Okay, fine! It's 5-0-1-8.
It's... I got it wrong.
It's 1-8. Sorry.
(electronic beeping)
Ah!
(groans)
(panting)
- Okay... Okay.
- Nora?!
(suspenseful music)
(crashing)
(panting)
- Nora! What is going on?
- Nora!
- Oh my god, I am so--
- open this door!
- Who is in there?
- I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I am so sorry.
- Nora!
- It's ... It's my husband.
- Open the door, nora.
- My ex-husband.
- Open the door!
- He has been blackmailing me.
He threatened me,
He threatened...
He threatened my life, he...
He threatened my mom's life.
If I didn't...
- Nora.
- Steal from June to pay him
whatever he thinks I owe him.
That's why I faked
my references,
Because I was so terrified
that he would find me,
But he found me anyways and
now he's--
(indistinct shouting)
he's in your basement.
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, taylor.
- It's okay, we're gonna
handle this, okay?
- Let me out. Nora. Please!
(suspenseful music)
(June): Nora.
- It's gonna be okay,
we're gonna figure it out, okay?
(June): Is that you?
(ben): Would you let me out?
(June): What was that sound?
(ben): Open up the door!
- I need you to get upstairs,
now.
- Okay.
- Move!
(ben): Let me out!
- Connor! Connor.
- Frank.
- I sincerely apologize
for the timing
Of what I'm about to tell you.
- Is everything alright?
- There's almost
a million dollars
Missing from the account.
- What?!
What are you talking about?
- We got back
the financial analysis.
Apparently, rex veloz has been
stealing money
From the company
the last few years.
He's been sending it to
an offshore account to someone
Named hannah mathers.
- Hannah mathers?
Why does that name ring a bell?
- Her father used to work
for the company years ago.
He was fired for
discrepancies in reports.
They've issued a warrant
for rex's arrest.
And we're doing a deeper dig
into hannah mathers.
But we, uh...
I did find this.
- Who's this?
- Hannah mathers and her father.
- Oh my god.
Oh my god.
- Hi June.
Aw, you don't look so good.
How was your tea?
I had to up the dose earlier
Because our little nora here
was on the way out.
- You poisoned her?
- Ding ding ding!
We have a winner.
(sinister laugh)
I have been, for months now,
Slowly biding my time, waiting
for you to die.
But I had to make it look
natural so nobody would ask for
an autopsy report.
Do you remember
the name john mathers?
Is that ringing any bells
for you?
- Uh...
- Yeah, that's what I thought.
You took everything from me.
My father was a good man.
He was an honest,
hard-working man,
And he didn't deserve what
happened to him
And if you had just listened
to him,
And if you had just heard
his side of the story,
He never would have started
drinking,
And he never would have gotten
behind the wheel of that car.
Stay right there!
Did you know that connor and
I are married?
We have been for weeks.
I'm sorry we couldn't invite you
to the ceremony.
It was really intimate.
Right after we signed
your new will.
- You can't do that.
- Oh, I can.
Ah. And when all of this
is over, it's gonna be mine.
You don't have a prenup.
- Taylor--
- That's not my name!
- Okay.
- And you. I was getting a
little scared
That my plan wasn't gonna work
when you showed up.
But then I realized that it's
actually going more perfectly
Than I could have ever imagined.
And I know I shouldn't
revel in it because you both
have to die,
But now I can finish what
I started.
Yeah, I can murder June,
and I can pin it
On the poor, desperate,
Pathetic, money hungry
caregiver with a dark past.
(grunts)
ah!
- Uh, uh, I don't understand
why you're doing this.
(panting)
- I just had a really,
really weird chat with... Rex!
Rex! Are you okay?
What happened?
- It's taylor...
(coughing)
She's not taylor, she's hannah.
- I know.
Lucy, call an ambulance!
You're gonna be alright, okay?
- Hello? 911.
- Goodbye, June.
(muffled cries)
Ah!
(grunting)
Ah!
(grunting)
Ah! Ugh!
(grunting)
(faint sirens)
- Are you okay?
- I'm okay.
- And my mom?
- Yeah, she's okay.
- Hang in there, mom!
(grunts)
(birds chirping)
- Thank you so much for hosting
lunch. My mom is so excited.
- As am I.
This place hasn't gotten
nearly enough use recently.
(chuckles)
- yeah, no. I'll see you
tomorrow. Okay.
- Oh, who was that?
- That was emma. We are...
Gonna have a drink tonight.
- Hm.
(knocking)
- okay, that's my mom.
Everything looks okay?
- Everything looks great.
I'll get the door.
(sighs)
- How are you?
- Oh, I'm good.
I am very good, thank you dear.
(laughing)
- Oh, wow. Look at all this.
- Hi, mom.
Now, I know you've met connor,
but this is June.
- Oh, how lovely to meet you.
- Oh, the pleasure is all mine.
Now, I hear you love orchids?
- I do.
- Well, the purple ones are just
blooming, you have to see them.
- How was the call with
the lawyer?
- Well, taylor and ben
plead guilty to all charges,
So it looks like they're
gonna be sitting in jail for
a long time.
- And what about rex?
- We're gonna settle outside
of court,
On the condition that he stays
far away from our family.
- He got very lucky.
- In more ways than one.
Oh, I almost forgot to tell you.
- The langford acquisition
went through?
- After everything that's
happened,
It looks like
it's still happening.
- Connor, that's great.
- Yeah.
Have you given anymore thought
to our offer?
- Yes. I have.
And it is so generous,
But I really need to go back
to greenville.
I want a fresh start and
I want to be close to my mom.
- I understand. I'm not sure
my mom will, but I do.
- Oh, mary.
- Hm.
- You have to see these.
I have never seen orchids bloom
like this.
- Oh, I know.
- It's the bark trick,
I'm telling you.
- Ha, now who did you think
you learned that from?
- I don't know.
(laughing)
- Show me this trick.
- Come see.
Subtitling: Difuze
(intriguing music)
(gasping)
(whimpering)
- I don't understand
why you're doing this.
No! No!
(muffled screaming)
(rhythmic music)
- Which means that not only are
we in a position to make
A bid on the langford group,
but we can continue
Our global domination.
We're all set to proceed with
the acquisition,
And the marketing pitch
is ready to be rolled out.
Just waiting on your greenlight.
- Thank you, taylor.
And great job, everyone.
Let's get this deal closed.
Give the langfords no reason to
go with the greenbergs over us.
Fantastic presentation,
ms. Hayes.
- Thank you.
- Your work is never short
of impressive.
- Thank you, you as well,
mr. Covington.
- Well, we aim to please here
at covington construction,
In all areas of service.
- I can't wait to marry you.
- You mean again?
I love that we did
our own thing,
A secret elopement is very sexy,
but I want to tell people
And show off my wife.
- I know, but you have to wait
at least a couple more months,
Or you're going to ruin
the surprise. Okay?
And then we'll get married
in front of everybody.
- Fine.
- And if anyone asks where
we were this weekend?
- We were location scouting
on the coast for the big day.
- Exactly.
- Woah! Hey, now!
This is a place of business.
Does hr need to hear about
you two again?
- You can just admit
that you're jealous, rex.
- Jealous? Hmm, no.
I actually feel bad for taylor,
She has no idea what
she's getting into with you.
- Is that so?
- Yes, ma'am, with this fellow
right here,
You're in for a life of lots
of eye contact,
And heartfelt conversations.
And way too much hair gel.
- Your hair looks great,
honey.
- Thank you.
- Here are the annual
reports you wanted.
- Thank you, rex.
- Ready to move forward
with the acquisition.
It's all good to go.
- Thanks.
- Let's hope.
- Yeah.
(city rumble)
- Yes, mom, I made it here
safely.
- What are you gonna do now?
- I don't know.
- Well, tony and I are always
here if you need us.
- I know, but I don't want
you guys anymore wrapped up
In this than you already are.
I'll figure something out.
- I just...
I want you to be safe.
- I know, I'm safe.
I'm safer here than I was
in greenville.
Um... Has there been any word
from him?
- No. But if I hear anything,
I will let you know.
You should do something nice
for yourself tonight.
When was the last time you let
yourself have a little fun?
- Oh, I don't know,
with everything...
- Put on your favourite boots,
the black-heeled ones,
And take yourself out
for a drink.
You deserve it.
- You know what? That sounds
like a really good idea.
I will do that.
Thanks, mom.
- I love you, kiddo.
- I know, I love you too.
(scream in the distance)
(sombre music)
- Julia confirmed
us for the tasting,
And claude said he can get you
in for a fitting next week.
- Wow, I don't know how
you keep up with all this.
- I am superwoman.
Oh, did your mother get
the test results back from
dr. Henderson?
- Inconclusive, again.
(sighs)
- Has she given anymore thought
to selling the house?
I'm just worried about
her being there all alone
when we move out.
- I don't think she's ready
to do that yet.
What if we... What if
we hired someone else?
- What do you mean?
- I love how much you love
my mom, okay? I do.
But you have so much
on your plate right now,
If we brought in someone else,
someone to...
Make mom their sole focus,
It would take the stress
off everyone.
- Are you sure though?
I mean, mary is doing such
a good job.
- Babe, mary's our housekeeper.
I think we're asking way
too much of her at this point.
Why don't we just talk
to my mom about it, hm?
And go from there.
- Okay.
Bossy as always.
- Bossy? I'm bossy?
- Yeah, you're bossy.
- Oh, I'm the bossy one?
(overlapping chatter)
(chuckling)
(soft music)
Hi, mom.
- Ooh, hello, you two.
- Do you need a hand?
- No, just hand me my cane,
would you?
- Yeah.
- Ah!
- Anything else before I leave?
- Uh no, I think that'll be it,
thank you, mary.
- Good night.
- Mom, what do you say
we go out for dinner tonight,
Maybe rivicci's,
if you're feeling up for it?
- What are we celebrating?
- Life.
(chuckling)
- oh well, alright then!
- Let's go find
you something to wear?
I'll meet you down here.
(soft music)
- Uh, house red, please.
Thank you.
(indistinct chatter)
(chuckling)
- Oh, taylor, please tell mom
about the pitch today.
- It went really well.
I think we have a real shot
at acquiring the langfords.
Mh-mmm.
(phone ringing)
- Oh, uh... Sorry.
- I thought we had that
handled?
- We do, it's done.
It's...
Don't worry about it.
- Did you hear that
the entire langford family
Is coming to our company's
40th anniversary party?
- I didn't,
but that's great news.
(sighs)
Uh, mom is the food okay?
- Yes, it's fine, I'm just
taking a quick intermission.
- Okay.
- Um, the greenbergs had
mentioned that they would make
A bid for the langfords
if they ever decided to sell,
Did that ever happen?
- Yes, uh, yes, it did.
- They did.
- Yeah.
- You know what? A little
competition just makes life
more interesting.
Right? And I really don't think
we need to worry about natalie
and hollis.
(chuckling)
- no. No, we don't.
- Will you excuse me,
I just need to visit the...
- Are you okay, mom?
- Yeah, I'm just uh...
A little dizzy spell,
I think that's all...
- Mom?
Ooh!
(exclaiming)
- Are you okay?
- Hi, I'm nora, I'm a registered
nurse. May I?
- Oh, yeah, please.
- Lay her on her back.
- Oh, hold on.
- I'm just gonna loosen up
your collar a little bit,
And let's raise her legs just
so they're above her heart.
- Let's get your legs up.
- How are you feeling?
- Better.
It was just a dizzy spell.
- Could you touch your pointer
finger to your nose for me?
How are your fingers,
any tingling?
- No. No, it's going away now.
- Okay.
We could probably sit her up.
One foot at a time here.
- There we go, nice and easy.
- You should probably
get checked out,
Just to make sure nothing more
serious isn't going on.
Is there someone that I could
call for you?
(sighs)
- I'll give her doctor a call
as soon as we get home.
- Uh, mom, do you want to go
to the hospital?
- No, no, dear. I'm better now,
it was just a dizzy spell.
- Alright,
well, in the meantime,
Lots of fluids and, um,
Just try to take it easy until
you can see your doctor.
- Nora, was it?
- Yeah.
- Thank you.
- Yeah, of course.
- You okay?
- Hmm.
(sighs)
- So, you know, taylor and I
were talking today,
And we think it might be
a good idea,
If you want to stay
in the house,
That we...
Hire someone else to come
in and help you with
the day to day stuff.
- That might be a good idea.
It might be nice to have
someone else around.
(chuckling)
- Okay, we'll start lining up
the interviews then.
But, uh, let's just get you home
tonight, okay?
(indistinct chatter)
Uh, nora?
Hi, I'm connor.
Listen, I don't know
your situation, employment
Or otherwise, but we're actually
interviewing caregivers
For my mother tomorrow now.
And we'd love if you could
stop by.
If you're interested, that is.
Address is on the back.
- I'd love to. Thank you.
- Great.
See you tomorrow.
- Yeah.
(city rumble)
(mysterious music)
- So why do you think emma
was calling last night?
- I don't know.
I mean, maybe she heard about
the engagement.
I love you.
I chose you.
- You know she blames me for
you guys splitting up, right?
- Yeah, our breakup
was definitely hard for her,
But it had nothing
to do with you.
Okay, it did.
Just... Just keep your distance,
And I'll do the same.
- Okay.
- Okay.
(birds chirping)
(♪)
(knocking)
Nora, hi!
- Good morning, mr. Covington.
- Oh, you can just
call me connor.
Please, come in.
Mom, nora's here.
- Ooh, hello, nora!
- Good morning, mrs. Covington.
How are you feeling today?
- Oh, much better.
- Good, good.
Your home is beautiful.
- Oh, thank you.
- We're so sorry that taylor
couldn't be here,
She had to head into
the office today.
Do you have a resumé?
- Yes.
- Thank you.
- Connor, would you do the tour?
- Oh, of course.
Right this way.
(clears throat)
So, as you can see,
my mother's in poor health.
The doctors can't quite put
their finger on what's going on.
Rapid heart rate, fatigue,
shortness of breath,
Even the smallest
of things are challenging
for her at this point.
So, I want to make sure
she's comfortable and cared for
While we figure it all out.
- Of course.
- Okay. Right this way.
- This place
really is something.
- Yeah, my dad designed it.
He restored it in the early 90s,
After their construction
business went national.
- Wow!
- My parents started in general
contracting in the 80s,
And grew to be one of the most
sought-after building companies
in north america.
Built their whole business
from the ground up.
(intriguing music)
Pun intended.
Tell me about your last job.
- I used to work for an elderly
woman in greenville.
- Oh, why did you leave?
- Oh, mrs. Covington,
your house is beautiful.
I mean, this kitchen,
I couldn't imagine getting
to cook here every night.
- Sadly, it doesn't get
the attention it deserves.
- Okay, so it looks
like you've already got
a schedule going here.
- My daughter-in-law
to be runs a very tight ship.
- So this says that you're
taking lansoprofen and divipril
together, is that right?
- Well, if that's what
the schedule says...
- Those two medications have
very serious interactions when
taken together.
These easily could've
caused your dizzy spell
the other night.
How long have you been
on this schedule?
- Oh, um...
- I think she just started
but I'll have to confirm
with taylor.
She's the one that talked
to the doctor.
- Uh, well, I could speak
with taylor if you'd like,
But in the meantime,
you should really talk to
Whoever prescribed you these
and get this sorted out.
- Have you taken your medication
today, mom?
- Oh dear, uh...
- It looks like you haven't yet
today, so you know what?
Why don't we just hold off
on it until you can speak
with your doctor?
- I'll call him as soon
as we're done here.
- Great. Uh, what's next?
- Ooh, let me show you
the sun room.
- Oh, wow!
(chuckling)
- Are you okay, mom?
- Just getting my bearings,
it's...
(sighs)
So, do you enjoy
gardening, nora?
- Uh, yes. Yes, I love it.
I would spend all day
with flowers if I could.
Especially if I had plants
as magnificent as these.
Although, these orchids
are stunning,
But I think they need
a little new bark.
If you change
it out regularly it keeps
the weeds and the pests down,
But it also helps
them bloom more often.
- Oh!
(phone ringing)
- Oh. Oh! I am so sorry.
I thought I put this on silent.
- Oh, it's alright.
Shall we continue the tour?
- Yes, let's.
Thank you, dear.
Thank you so much
for coming, dear.
- It was my pleasure.
- We'll be in touch.
- Okay.
(birds chirping)
- Hello?
- Hi, yes.
I'm calling on behalf
of nora reed.
You were listed on
her resume as a reference.
- Hi! I'm so glad you called!
Nora is fantastic,
we just adore her.
- Oh, and she worked for you
in what capacity?
- As a caregiver
for my mother-in-law.
- Hey, nora!
Nora, open the door,
I know you're in there!
I just want to talk to you.
Open the door!
Nora!
(knocking aggressively)
nora!
I'm not signing
these divorce papers.
Not until we talk about this.
(phone ringing)
(suspenseful music)
(panting)
(keys jangling)
(phone ringing)
- Hello, mr. Covington,
I'm sorry I missed
your call earlier.
- Oh, not a problem.
I hope I'm not
interrupting anything.
- No, uh, no, nothing.
- Good.
So listen, we'd love
to offer you the position.
- Really? Um, oh wow.
That's fantastic!
Yes, I accept.
- Great, would you like to come
by tomorrow to discuss details?
Let's say 9 am?
- I will be there.
- Thank you, nora.
We'll see you tomorrow.
- See you tomorrow,
mr. Covington.
(trembling breath)
(cell phone vibrating)
(menacing music)
(birds chirping)
- Okay.
Here's your tea.
- Thank you, dear.
- You're welcome.
Your coffee.
- Thank you.
- Don't forget, we have
a cake-tasting this afternoon.
And nora, I hate to do this
to you but...
- Are you okay to start today?
We have a few fires we need
to put out at the office.
- Oh! Yeah, of course,
I'm happy to help.
- Thank you so much.
I left a note with
the hour and salary details,
And I'm happy to chat
about it when we get home.
- And her medication list is--
- Oh, yeah, about that,
Did you have a chance
to speak with June's doctor
About switching out either
the lansoprofen or the divipril?
- I did.
Thank you for catching that.
- Oh, I'm glad I did.
- Anyway, her eating schedule
and her dietary restrictions
Are just on the side
of the oven.
- Great. I'm sure we'll be fine.
- Oh, I know you will.
- We have to go.
- Yes. Okay.
- Nora, thank you again. Mom.
- Have a great day.
- Bye.
(sighs)
And then there were two.
(chuckling)
Do you know how
to play gin rummy?
- I don't, actually.
But I would love to learn.
- Ooh. Come over here.
- Okay.
(chuckling)
- Ooh! Don't forget you have
to discard.
(coughing)
Oh...
Would you mind getting
me a bit of water?
- Yep, of course.
(mysterious music)
Uh, actually, nora,
could you make it tea?
- Yes.
- Thank you, dear.
- Frank! Please, have a seat.
What can I do for you?
- Well, as you know, we have
to run a diagnostic on the...
Company's financials
for the potential
langford acquisition.
We're bringing
in a forensic accountant
To do a deep dig into
the financials,
To ensure everything's
in tiptop shape.
Should they agree to sell
to us.
- Okay, uh...
- Now, there's nothing to be
concerned about.
It's routine.
I just wanted you to know
so you'd have a heads up
Before we dig in.
- Alright, um, thank you,
frank, I appreciate that.
- You're welcome.
- Hey!
Sorry to interrupt, hi frank,
how are you?
- Hey, you.
- Can I steal you away
for a minute?
I need to get
your opinion on something.
- Yeah, yeah.
Are we good? Thank you.
(knocking)
- Hi.
- Oh, hi. Who are you?
- I'm nora, I work for
the covingtons. Sorry, you are?
- I'm emma. Is connor home?
- No, he and taylor
are at the office.
- On a Sunday?
- Would you like me
to leave a message for him?
- No, that's alright.
I'll try him another time.
- Oh, thank you, dear.
Um, who was that?
- Emma?
What?
- Emma?
- Hmm, that's what she said.
- That poor girl.
- Why, who is she?
(sighs)
- She and connor were together
for a long time.
Before taylor.
And when connor ended it,
she took it very badly.
She broke into taylor's office
and trashed the place.
- Oh...
- So, just to be safe,
if you see her again,
Just keep your distance.
- Okay.
(clears throat)
- Um, your turn.
- Oh, good!
(keys jangling)
- Oh, my--
- hello, nora.
What, you're not happy
to see me?
I just wanted to say hey,
Let you know that I'm also new
to the neighbourhood.
I'd also like to say,
that little stunt you pulled,
Sneaking off into the night?
So cliché.
It actually worked.
But alas, here we are.
- Ben...
- I will always find you,
No matter where you go,
no matter how hard you try.
You know, I'm always two steps
ahead, lee.
Sorry, nora.
Nice rebrand.
- What do you want, ben?
That new family
you're working for,
Do they know who you really are?
About what happened to the last
family you worked for?
(tense music)
I'll take that as a no.
So what do you say,
How about you get me
what I'm owed,
And I'll sign the divorce
papers and be out of your life
for good?
- I'm not gonna steal from them.
I think you should reconsider.
Your mom's new place is cute.
And I saw that she
and tony got a dog.
A great big one.
Was that because of me?
Get me into that house,
Or I might just have to take
a visit to your mom's new ranch.
- I will call the police.
I will. I will tell them--
- Do that-- do that and your mom
will pay the price.
You have a few days.
Or I might just have
to do it myself.
(panting)
(suspenseful music)
(sighs)
- Here you are.
- Oh, thank you, dear.
- You're welcome. Enjoy.
- Yeah, this all looks good.
- Good enough for the langfords
to pick us over the greenbergs?
(sighs)
- I'm not sure.
- So what do we do?
- Okay. Set up a meeting
with the langfords,
See if we can appeal
to their ethos.
- We already tried that.
They want to remain
as objective as possible.
Besides, they're coming
to the party.
- Okay, okay. Then let's set up
a meeting with the greenbergs.
Like a dinner or something.
- You want to have dinner
with our biggest rival
In the middle
of a heated bidding war?
- Why not? Acquiring langfords
was one of my dad's
Biggest goals and we are this
close to making it happen.
I'll do anything at this point.
- Okay. Fine.
I'll set something up,
We'll see what we can do.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
See you at home.
(sighs)
- Good.
- Afternoon, June!
- Afternoon, mary.
- Oh!
- Good afternoon.
- Hi, I... Who are you?
- Oh, this is nora,
my caregiver.
- Oh, oh I didn't realize
you were looking for someone
to formally do that.
- Is there a problem?
- Uh, no.
No, I've just been acting
in that role for June
For the past few months.
- Well, we all felt that having
an extra pair of hands around
the house
Would be a good idea.
- Hmm.
- Oh, and we replaced
the vacuum.
- Oh.
- So just let me know
if you need anything else.
- Will do.
It was nice to meet you.
- You as well.
Uh, June, I'm just gonna
tidy up the kitchen.
Where do you keep your extra
paper towels?
- Oh, in the garage.
- Okay, thanks.
(door slams)
(door rattling)
(knocking)
June?
June? I think I locked
myself in.
(vacuum cleaner whirring)
(knocking loudly)
hello? Mary?
(engine revving)
(ominous music)
(panting)
(knocking)
hello?!
(grunting)
somebody help me!
(panting)
Somebody!
(breathing heavily)
- Just breathe, just breathe!
Deep breath, deep breath.
Shh, it's okay.
- I just don't understand
how this happened.
- Me neither.
- Well, that door has been
finicky for a while now,
I'll get the handyman
in to fix it.
- It's a good idea.
And we should disable
the push button keys until
the door is fixed.
Are you sure you don't want
to take the afternoon off?
We'd totally understand,
I mean, I can handle June.
- No, it's okay.
- Are you sure?
I'm already here.
- I know, I know.
But it's my job to give
the care, not receive it, so.
I'm fine.
Why don't we get out
of the house for a bit?
It's the perfect day for it.
- Hmm. You sure?
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay.
- Thanks, mary.
- Have fun.
- What? Are you serious?
- I know.
- I mean, the last thing
we need is that girl suing us
Because she gets locked
in our garage.
- If that's even what happened.
I mean, she could've set it up.
Anyway, I'm happy to keep
an eye on things here.
I mean, it has just been
me and June for years now.
I know her routine.
- No, that's a really good idea.
Thank you, mary.
I really appreciate it.
I don't know what
we would do without you.
- Anything for your family.
I'll see you later.
- Okay. Bye.
(♪)
- Hey.
- Hey.
- We have a marketing meeting
in two minutes.
- Right, I'll be right there.
Okay.
- Hmm.
Oh, what are those?
- These are memory care cards.
So the general idea
is that they keep your mind
in tiptop shape.
- Hmm. Sounds like fun.
- Do you want to try them?
- Sure.
- Okay.
Name three state capitals.
- Albany. Uh...
- No? That's okay, we can just
try a different card.
Name three types of dog breed.
- Poodle, labrador...
Um.
- I think we've had enough
of these for today.
June, it is so quiet here.
- Hmm, that's one of the reasons
roy and I chose this spot.
We knew we'd be in the city
a lot for work,
So we wanted to create a space
where we could relax and detach.
- How long were you married?
- Almost 35 years.
- What was your secret?
- Communication.
Always communicate.
- You know,
I've been meaning to tell you.
Your diamonds are...
Spectacular.
I don't think I've ever seen
a ring like that before.
- Oh... Roy had this made for
our 20th wedding anniversary.
- Must have cost a fortune.
- Yes, it did!
Oh, you should see
the brooch he had made
For when connor was born.
That man loved to show
his affection with diamonds.
And art.
I try to keep most
of his pieces in a safe place,
And then rotate them,
when I remember.
He was very good that way.
He always chose things he knew
would appreciate in value.
- Well, I guess diamonds really
are a girl's best friend.
- Well, they're not an enemy.
(chuckling)
(soft music)
- Natalie. Hollis.
To what do we owe the pleasure?
- So glad you could make it.
We got your invite to dinner.
- Yes.
- But we felt this would be
more appropriate.
We aren't backing out of
the langford bid,
We need them to extend
our company's capabilities.
- Understood. As do we.
But we wanted--
- No. No. There are no buts.
We appreciate you trying
to... What, bribe us?
Give a sob story?
Whatever you were going for,
But us backing out
of the langford deal
is not going to happen.
We're acquiring langfords.
Okay?
And we will do whatever we need
to do to make that happen.
The reign of the covingtons
has been fun, but...
I think it's time for somebody
new to take over.
Hey! We look forward
to outbidding you.
- Okay. Uh, thanks, guys.
Can you give us the room?
We'll figure out the next step
here.
- What just happened?
- I'm not entirely sure.
- Okay, so what are we gonna do?
- We stay the course.
- They threatened us!
- I don't think they meant
anything literally.
This type of thing happens
all the time.
Our concern level, I think
we should be at a four.
On alert, but not hitting
the panic button yet.
I love your problem-solving
face.
I have to run some errands
but... I'll see you at home.
- Okay, see you at home.
(gasps)
Oh my god!
Why are you like this?
- Just needed a minute alone
with you.
Don't worry, no one saw.
- You're ridiculous,
this is a place of work, rex..
- Yes, my lady, it is.
Did you hear about this audit
thing frank's doing?
- No.
- Well, you didn't hear
it from me, but
They brought in a forensic
accountant to make sure
Everything checks out.
- Okay, are you worried about
them finding something?
- Shouldn't be anything.
- You're the cfo.
Are you worried about them
finding something or not?
- No. Everything's fine.
- Okay.
Wait at least a minute before
you come out after me.
And do not do this again,
I'm serious.
- You are very sexy
when you're serious.
(scoffs)
- gotta get home, rex,
I'll see you later.
(ominous music)
Rex?
(car beeps)
(soft music)
(phone chimes)
- Okay, that is sketch as hell.
Everyone is one the internet
in one way or another.
- I know. And I couldn't find
anything substantial.
I mean, no social media
or anything.
- Well, let me have steve
look into it.
I mean, he does background
checks for a living.
Consider it
an early wedding present.
- Okay. But if connor asks,
this was your idea.
(chuckling)
- aye, aye, captain.
Now, for the real reason we're
here, your bridesmaid dresses.
- Okay, I'm thinking,
for the flowers,
Definitely non-traditional,
I'm thinking red.
Is that crazy?
- No, I love it!
(suspenseful music)
- So how was coffee with lucy?
- It was good.
Really good. Yeah.
- Did we finally sort out all
of the bridesmaid's dress drama?
- Hmm, here's to hoping.
Oh, I wanted to let you know.
Just in case you do find out,
Lucy is gonna have steve
do an in-depth background check
on nora,
Just to be safe. I mean,
we do it for all our employees
Here in the company,
so we should do it for people
coming into our home.
- Yeah. Uh, yeah, you're right.
With everything going on,
I didn't even think to do
a background check
Before hiring her,
but absolutely.
- I'll take care of it.
- Thank you.
- I'll see you later.
- Mm-hmm.
- Bye.
(ominous music)
(♪)
(car door slams)
(mysterious music)
(men laughing)
(glass shattering)
(suspenseful music)
(gasps)
(sighs)
- What you did tonight
was very dangerous.
- I know, okay, but I needed
to know what this was about.
I mean, when you search
her name,
Nothing of substance
comes up.
- Lucy has steve doing
a background check, right?
(sighs)
- yes.
- Then you don't need to be
following weird, ominous notes
Left by crazy people on your car
in the middle of the night.
- Okay. I won't do it again.
- Hey, you and mom
are everything to me.
- Somebody wanted me
to have this.
- How do we know
it's about nora?
- Uh, caregiver? Greenville?
I mean, you don't think
that's a huge coincidence?
- Somebody is messing with you.
Now please, please just come to
me the next time this happens.
- Okay. Promise.
- Okay.
Now let's get some sleep.
We have some crazy days ahead
of us before this deal closes.
- Okay.
Private home-care nurse,
lee griswald, was accused today
Of malpractice after
the family she worked for
Found her forcefully taking
a patient to and from
The doctors against their will.
The reason for the appointments
hasn't been confirmed,
But the sources speculate
the caregiver was suffering from
Factitious disorder imposed
on another
Formerly known
as munchausen by proxy.
(sinister music)
(sighs)
(dial tone)
- Hello, you've reached madisen
peters at the daily star.
Please leave a message
and I'll get back to you as
soon as I can.
- Hi, this is taylor hayes,
I'm calling in regards
to an article you wrote about
A caregiver named lee griswald.
If you could give me a call back
whenever you get a moment,
That would be fantastic.
Thank you.
- Who were your best friends
growing up?
- Oh, I know this one.
Kay and amy.
(chuckles)
- I see you already
have your tea.
- Uh, yes, nora made it for me.
- Oh.
- Oh, taylor, did you remember
to give nora her invite?
- No, I didn't.
Here, I have one.
- Nora, you are cordially
invited
To the covington construction
40th anniversary party.
- Oh, wow.
This is very exciting.
(chuckles)
I would be honoured.
- Good.
- It's gonna be really nice
to have you there.
Bye.
- Bye, dear.
- Except I'm not sure
I would have anything to wear.
- Oh, uh, I'm sure we can
fix you up with something.
I have a closet full of gowns
That don't get nearly
enough use.
- Wow.
- Hey, mary.
- Hi.
- Can I ask you something?
- Sure.
- Can you...
Continue to keep an eye on
things around here?
With nora and...
Just wanna make sure everything
is good.
- Did something else happen?
- No, not yet.
But better safe than sorry,
right?
- Of course.
- Yeah.
Thank you.
And again, can we just keep
this between us?
- Sure.
- Thank you.
See ya.
- See ya.
(mysterious music)
Where'd nora go?
- Oh, she's just getting
me a shawl.
- Ah.
- Yes, no, I will see you in 10.
- Connor!
- Whoa, emma.
- Connor, hi.
I know you're with taylor now.
I just wanted to say
I'm sorry for all of it.
My behaviour was childish
and uncalled for but I--
- Really? Because leaving
that note for taylor was insane.
What exactly was your plan?
- What?
- Luring her to the park,
that same stunt you pulled
When we first started dating.
I mean,
It was romantic back then, I
guess, but now it's just creepy.
- Connor... I...
It wasn't me, I swear.
- Uh-huh. Just like you didn't
trash taylor's office?
- Connor, I told you I never
did that.
Check the security footage!
- The footage you deleted?
Emma, if you weren't there
that night,
Then why was your car outside
the building?
- Because I was there that night
to talk to you!
But I didn't go inside, I swear.
You need to see this.
- I can't do this anymore.
- Connor, please.
- It's over.
You need to accept that.
- Was that emma?
- Yeah. It was.
(car starts)
- we can talk to the cops,
you know?
She's violated her restraining
order more than once.
- I'll take care of it.
Let's just get to the office,
alright?
- Alright.
- Oh. Thank you, dear.
- I'm gonna make your lunch now
so you can take your medication.
(sighs)
(suspenseful music)
what are you doing?
- Giving June her medication,
she always gets it this time--
- After lunch, I know.
All I a, saying is that this
is what I am here for,
To care for June.
- I was only doing it
because you--
- I know, I know,
but this is my job
And I would really prefer it
if you'd let me do this.
Thank you though.
(sighs)
(mysterious music)
(dial tone)
(phone ringing)
- Hi, yes, I'm calling because
I'd like to file
An anonymous complaint against
one of your teachers.
I'll hold.
(suspenseful music)
(sighs)
Hey. Are you okay?
What's going on?
- Uh... Yeah. Yeah.
- No, I know you,
you're not okay.
Is it about emma? Because--
- no, no, why? What?
- Well, I just heard that
she was brought in
For questioning today
For inappropriate behaviour
with a student.
- Wha--
- I know. Sarah's daughters
Go to hartwood high and
they were just talking about it
In the break room.
- I can't believe that, um--
- I know. I know.
That woman is dangerous.
I mean, I'm so glad
that she's out of your life.
Out of our lives.
- Yeah.
- But if that's not it,
then what is it?
- Um... Not here.
- Okay.
- Here it is.
- Oh, lovely.
- You're okay to get started
on the frosting?
- Oh, yes. Sure.
- I am going to call a pharmacy
about your prescription.
- Okay.
(mysterious music)
- All good?
- Mm, all good.
- Okay. You can do the honours.
(sighs)
- What?
- Yeah.
Frank said there's nothing
to be concerned about.
- But there could be.
I mean, did he say
when this started to happen?
- Sometime in the last
few years.
- Okay, so then if someone
is stealing from the company,
Then it would be likely someone
who was hired
Right around the same time as
the money started disappearing.
- Not necessarily.
It could be anyone.
Like I said, just keep this
between us, okay?
- Yeah, okay, okay.
My lips are sealed.
(suspenseful music)
- Oh.
What are you doing?
- Yeah, nothing.
The... Yeah. There was a...
There was a big spider web
up there, so.
But, I got it, so...
So, we're good.
I'm just gonna get back to June.
(sighs)
- Ooh, there they are.
- Sorry, we got held up.
(chuckles)
- are you hungry?
- Nora made the best chicken
marsala
I've ever had in my life.
- Really?
- Well, we cannot say
no to that.
- No, no, no.
Uh, mom, where's your cane?
- Oh, uh, I've been feeling
a lot stronger recently.
- She hasn't used it all day.
- Nope.
- Wow! I haven't seen you
without a cane in years.
Uh, nora, who are you and what
have you done to my mother?
(laughing)
- Don't--
- did something happen?
- Oh, no, I was just saying,
Because my mom wasn't using
her cane.
- Oh.
- I'll get out of your hair.
Enjoy your dinner.
I will see you all tomorrow
for the party.
- Thanks, nora.
- Taylor, could I just speak
to you for a second?
- Of course, yeah.
- So, you wanted me to let
you know
If I notice anything
else odd--
- Yeah.
- About nora?
Well, this afternoon,
I noticed her trying to move
the camera out front.
Now, I know she said
she was going for a cobweb,
But she was definitely trying
to move the camera.
- I don't know
why she would do that.
- I have no idea. I think you're
right though,
There's something definitely up
with that girl.
- Yeah, definitely.
Okay, um, thank you.
- Of course.
- Okay.
(humming)
- nora!
- Yeah.
- I don't know what it is
that you are up to,
But whatever it is,
I will figure it out.
The covingtons are like
family to me,
And I won't let anything
happen to them.
- I don't know what
you're talking about.
- Ugh, the stunt in the garage.
Trying to take over my duties,
Weaselling your way into
their lives.
What are you after? Their money?
- I'm not after anything.
- Then why did you move
the cameras?
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Look, I'm onto you.
And as soon as I figure out
what it is you're up to,
I will have no problem exposing
you to the covingtons.
Or the police.
- Goodnight mary.
(sighs)
- How was yoga?
- Good.
You should try it with me
sometime.
Might help with all that tension
you're carrying.
- I am not carrying tension.
Okay, maybe a little.
I will think about it.
- That's all I'm asking.
- What is this?
- Part of the results
of the background check.
Steve still has a few more
things to check out
But I thought you should see
this.
- Nora's resume?
- Now, I'm not supposed to know
this, because the reports
Are supposed to be confidential,
but whatever.
Looks like that number, the one
nora put down as a reference,
Is actually registered to her.
Like, a web-based number.
You can buy them online
and link them to your cellphone
provider number.
- Why would she do that?
- I don't know, but it's an odd
thing to do
If you've got nothing to hide.
- Yeah, I'd say.
(phone ringing)
- yes, this is taylor hayes.
- Hi, this is madisen peters
returning your call.
- Miss peters, thank you so much
for calling me back.
- It's my pleasure.
What can I do for you?
- The article you wrote
a few years ago
About a caregiver and
malpractice.
I'm just wondering,
why were the charges dropped?
- May I ask
why you're interested?
- Uh, the caregiver, she's being
considered for a position
With a friend of mine and
so I just wanted to make sure
That everything is above board.
- Well, I can't really send
you personal details,
But I can say that that family,
the wyatts, they're a mess.
I'd stay far away from them
if I were you.
- Does the name nora reed
ring a bell to you?
- I don't remember any nora,
but then again,
This whole story was
a while ago.
Turns out it was the son
or the brother just after
insurance money.
I gotta run,
I'm getting another call.
- Uh, okay.
Thank you for your time.
Bye.
(sighs)
Hi.
- Hi.
- Ah, what a day.
- Hey, how'd it go?
- Hey! Oh, it was great.
You know it's always great
to see luce.
I didn't know that nora was
coming in today?
- I asked her to come.
The plants needed a little
extra help.
- Oh, okay.
How's the game?
- I don't want to jinx it,
but we're winning.
(mysterious music)
(phone ringing)
(phone ringing)
- June, I will pick up
that fertilizer first thing
in the morning.
- Ooh, thank you dear.
- Can I get anything for you,
taylor?
- No, I'm fine.
- Okay, great.
Uh, well, I will see you
all tomorrow.
- Mm-hmm.
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
- Babe, come sit down.
- Um, I'm gonna join you in
a bit. I'm gonna take a bath.
- Okay.
(sombre music)
(phone rings)
- Hello.
- Hey. Hey, it's me.
I just was calling to say
that I love you.
- I love you too, lee.
Is everything alright?
- Yeah. Yeah, it will be.
Okay, I'll talk to you soon.
- Nora, right?
Look, I don't know
what you've heard about me.
- I don't want any part of this.
Whatever--
- Can you just--
- whatever's going on with you--
- Make sure that connor
gets this. Please.
There's things in here he needs
to know.
(suspenseful music)
- Here you go.
- Ooh.
- It's a big night tonight,
so we need to keep hydrated.
(chuckles)
- thank you, dear.
- Morning, nora.
You want any coffee?
- No, thank you.
June, can I make you something
to eat?
- Ooh, thank you, yes.
(phone ringing)
- Would it be alright if
I just took this phone call,
I'll make you something
right after.
- Yes, of course dear, yes.
Connor dear.
- Yeah.
- The lawyer sent over a copy
of the new will this morning
And I noticed there was
no mention of the prenup.
- I told you,
mom, it's not necessary.
Taylor and I have no plans
on getting a divorce.
(clears throat)
- Well, it's just for safety.
- I know, I know. But we don't,
we don't need it.
It's okay.
(scoffs)
(sinister music)
- I don't know. I wish...
(indistinct whispering)
Yes, I know. Mm-hmm.
Come on, I'm trying.
Fine.
- Is everything okay?
- Yes. Yeah.
Excuse me, I'll get back
to June.
Are you alright?
- Um, actually, I'm feeling
a bit under the weather.
Would it be alright if
I just laid down for a while?
- Yeah, of course.
(clears throat)
- Oh, okay. Yeah, let's get
you to bed.
(sighs)
- Nora.
- I'll be up in a minute, June.
(mysterious music)
Taylor, who are you?
- She can't go to the party
like this.
Have we called the doctor?
- Yes. Four times.
He's away for his daughter's
wedding.
- Mom, what do we do?
We have to go to make
the final bid to langford.
- No, no. You go.
I'll be alright.
- I'll stay with her.
- Are you sure?
- Mm-hmm.
Of course.
I'll get some fluids into you,
We'll get this fever down.
- Should we take separate
vehicles?
Just in case one of us wants
to come back and check on her.
- Yeah, that's probably
a good idea.
- You two go, have a good time.
I'm in good hands.
(chuckles)
(mysterious music)
- Hey.
- Hi.
- I'm headed out.
- Hey. Okay. Sounds great.
I'll meet you there.
- Okay.
- Okay.
(suspenseful music)
(sighs)
(indistinct chatter)
- Fantastic party, as per usual.
- Thank you. Would you expect
anything less?
- From you? Of course not.
Look, this is totally
inappropriate timing,
But steve just got back to me
with the rest
Of the background check,
And there's a few things
you should hear.
- Okay.
- So, your caregiver,
Her legal name isn't nora reed,
it's lenora reed griswald.
That's why she had no social
media accounts,
They're not under nora reed.
And...
Her last patient nearly died of
mysterious circumstances.
- The headline.
- Apparently, she was
the caregiver for a family
For years and something went
wrong near the end.
The family, mainly the son,
claimed malpractice,
But no charges were
ever brought.
- Who's the family?
- They are the wyatts.
And it looks like nora might be
married to said son.
- I bet nora was involved.
Thank you so much.
I need to go, okay?
(mysterious music)
(suspenseful music)
- Thank you, mr. Langford.
We look forward to doing
business with you.
We did it, they're gonna sell
to us.
- Honey, congratulations.
- I couldn't have done it
without you.
- Happy to help.
When does the deal close?
- Monday. On Monday,
this company will be worth
Double than what it is
right now, can you believe that?
- No, I cannot.
- Let's get a glass of champagne
to celebrate.
- I would love to,
but you know what?
I'm gonna stop by the house and
check on your mom.
She's not feeling well and
I'm really worried about her.
- Are you sure? Did you want me
to go with you?
- No, no, no. It's okay. This
is a huge night. You stay, okay?
And I will call you with
an update. Okay.
- Okay. I love you.
- I love you too.
Bye.
(gasps)
- Time's up, lenora.
Oh, don't look so surprised.
The safe?
- Yeah.
- Where's the safe?
- It's...
It's the first door
on your left up there.
(panting)
- You bitch.
- What?!
- You framed me!
- I don't have time for this.
Let go.
(grunts)
(grunts)
- you used me!
You said you loved me
and that if I helped you,
You would run away
but you lied!
- Yeah, I did! So what?!
Get off me!
- Huh? What are you gonna do
about it, huh?
- This!
(grunts)
(panting)
(suspenseful music)
- The code is 5-0-8-1.
(electronic beeping)
(sighs)
- are you sure?
- Yeah. I... Mm-hmm.
(electronic beeping)
(sighs)
- what's the code?
- Give me the code!
- I--
- What is it?!
- Okay, fine! It's 5-0-1-8.
It's... I got it wrong.
It's 1-8. Sorry.
(electronic beeping)
Ah!
(groans)
(panting)
- Okay... Okay.
- Nora?!
(suspenseful music)
(crashing)
(panting)
- Nora! What is going on?
- Nora!
- Oh my god, I am so--
- open this door!
- Who is in there?
- I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I am so sorry.
- Nora!
- It's ... It's my husband.
- Open the door, nora.
- My ex-husband.
- Open the door!
- He has been blackmailing me.
He threatened me,
He threatened...
He threatened my life, he...
He threatened my mom's life.
If I didn't...
- Nora.
- Steal from June to pay him
whatever he thinks I owe him.
That's why I faked
my references,
Because I was so terrified
that he would find me,
But he found me anyways and
now he's--
(indistinct shouting)
he's in your basement.
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, taylor.
- It's okay, we're gonna
handle this, okay?
- Let me out. Nora. Please!
(suspenseful music)
(June): Nora.
- It's gonna be okay,
we're gonna figure it out, okay?
(June): Is that you?
(ben): Would you let me out?
(June): What was that sound?
(ben): Open up the door!
- I need you to get upstairs,
now.
- Okay.
- Move!
(ben): Let me out!
- Connor! Connor.
- Frank.
- I sincerely apologize
for the timing
Of what I'm about to tell you.
- Is everything alright?
- There's almost
a million dollars
Missing from the account.
- What?!
What are you talking about?
- We got back
the financial analysis.
Apparently, rex veloz has been
stealing money
From the company
the last few years.
He's been sending it to
an offshore account to someone
Named hannah mathers.
- Hannah mathers?
Why does that name ring a bell?
- Her father used to work
for the company years ago.
He was fired for
discrepancies in reports.
They've issued a warrant
for rex's arrest.
And we're doing a deeper dig
into hannah mathers.
But we, uh...
I did find this.
- Who's this?
- Hannah mathers and her father.
- Oh my god.
Oh my god.
- Hi June.
Aw, you don't look so good.
How was your tea?
I had to up the dose earlier
Because our little nora here
was on the way out.
- You poisoned her?
- Ding ding ding!
We have a winner.
(sinister laugh)
I have been, for months now,
Slowly biding my time, waiting
for you to die.
But I had to make it look
natural so nobody would ask for
an autopsy report.
Do you remember
the name john mathers?
Is that ringing any bells
for you?
- Uh...
- Yeah, that's what I thought.
You took everything from me.
My father was a good man.
He was an honest,
hard-working man,
And he didn't deserve what
happened to him
And if you had just listened
to him,
And if you had just heard
his side of the story,
He never would have started
drinking,
And he never would have gotten
behind the wheel of that car.
Stay right there!
Did you know that connor and
I are married?
We have been for weeks.
I'm sorry we couldn't invite you
to the ceremony.
It was really intimate.
Right after we signed
your new will.
- You can't do that.
- Oh, I can.
Ah. And when all of this
is over, it's gonna be mine.
You don't have a prenup.
- Taylor--
- That's not my name!
- Okay.
- And you. I was getting a
little scared
That my plan wasn't gonna work
when you showed up.
But then I realized that it's
actually going more perfectly
Than I could have ever imagined.
And I know I shouldn't
revel in it because you both
have to die,
But now I can finish what
I started.
Yeah, I can murder June,
and I can pin it
On the poor, desperate,
Pathetic, money hungry
caregiver with a dark past.
(grunts)
ah!
- Uh, uh, I don't understand
why you're doing this.
(panting)
- I just had a really,
really weird chat with... Rex!
Rex! Are you okay?
What happened?
- It's taylor...
(coughing)
She's not taylor, she's hannah.
- I know.
Lucy, call an ambulance!
You're gonna be alright, okay?
- Hello? 911.
- Goodbye, June.
(muffled cries)
Ah!
(grunting)
Ah!
(grunting)
Ah! Ugh!
(grunting)
(faint sirens)
- Are you okay?
- I'm okay.
- And my mom?
- Yeah, she's okay.
- Hang in there, mom!
(grunts)
(birds chirping)
- Thank you so much for hosting
lunch. My mom is so excited.
- As am I.
This place hasn't gotten
nearly enough use recently.
(chuckles)
- yeah, no. I'll see you
tomorrow. Okay.
- Oh, who was that?
- That was emma. We are...
Gonna have a drink tonight.
- Hm.
(knocking)
- okay, that's my mom.
Everything looks okay?
- Everything looks great.
I'll get the door.
(sighs)
- How are you?
- Oh, I'm good.
I am very good, thank you dear.
(laughing)
- Oh, wow. Look at all this.
- Hi, mom.
Now, I know you've met connor,
but this is June.
- Oh, how lovely to meet you.
- Oh, the pleasure is all mine.
Now, I hear you love orchids?
- I do.
- Well, the purple ones are just
blooming, you have to see them.
- How was the call with
the lawyer?
- Well, taylor and ben
plead guilty to all charges,
So it looks like they're
gonna be sitting in jail for
a long time.
- And what about rex?
- We're gonna settle outside
of court,
On the condition that he stays
far away from our family.
- He got very lucky.
- In more ways than one.
Oh, I almost forgot to tell you.
- The langford acquisition
went through?
- After everything that's
happened,
It looks like
it's still happening.
- Connor, that's great.
- Yeah.
Have you given anymore thought
to our offer?
- Yes. I have.
And it is so generous,
But I really need to go back
to greenville.
I want a fresh start and
I want to be close to my mom.
- I understand. I'm not sure
my mom will, but I do.
- Oh, mary.
- Hm.
- You have to see these.
I have never seen orchids bloom
like this.
- Oh, I know.
- It's the bark trick,
I'm telling you.
- Ha, now who did you think
you learned that from?
- I don't know.
(laughing)
- Show me this trick.
- Come see.
