What a way to end the week.

I swear to God, if I had to spend one more day

pushing stuff around my desk pretending to look busy,

I would've actually had to break down

and do some real work.

Oh, come on.

Pushing stuff around is really work.

I wish Harris would let me have a job.

It's against his high standards for trophy wives.

Lucky you.

I wish I could land a guy

that just wanted a pampered trophy wife.

I'd be perfect.

Maybe,

but you'd also get bored...

really bored.

There's no one to talk to in that big house.

Nothing to do but look pretty for no one.

Come on, Katy,

you're married, you have a husband,

he's good looking and rich.

I never see him.

Harris didn't get rich by hanging around the house.

Harris Fletcher,

king of Fletcher Chemicals.

To Katy...

queen of chemicals.

I just wish he would pin me down to the mattress

a little more, you know?

We haven't had sex in over a month.

No?

You're kidding me?

It's like I don't even exist.

But do you think he's getting it from somewhere else?

I hope not.

But I kinda wish I was.

When does King Harris

get back from his little trip?

Tomorrow, noon.

Great.

So we have all night.

And you

without your wedding ring.

Come on, it's too expensive to wear out on the town.

Uh-huh, sure.

Oh, um, what's this.

It's from that gentleman at the end of the bar.

Ooh, you have an admirer.

We should just ignore him.

Are you kidding me?

Slide your pretty little butt down there

- and introduce yourself. - What?

No, I-- I shouldn't.

I...

What would I say?

Um, how about a thank you.

Okay.

Thank you for the drink.

- I'm Katy. - I'm Mark.

Sorry about being so forward, but I couldn't take the chance

of you two leaving

without giving me an opportunity

to introduce myself first.

I don't normally accept drinks from strangers.

But we're not strangers anymore.

That's right.

So, Mark,

- why me? - I don't know.

Your obviously elegance,

your sophisticated demeanor,

and you're beautiful.

Flattery comes easily in situations like this.

I just stopped in on my way home.

All my Friday plans got cancelled.

Oh, that's too bad.

I just came here to unwind a little.

Wanna get out of here?

Just like that?

Um, I--

I shouldn't. Um...

Wait here.

How's it going?

He wants me to go home with him.

Uh, and you without your wedding ring.

Okay, you better call me tomorrow.

You got it.

Let's go.

Here you go.

House specialty.

Thank you.

I gotta tell you, I don't normally do this.

You coulda said no.

I could have,

and I should have but...

I didn't want to.

Hmm. Brandy?

- Surprised? - Maybe.

It's my favorite vice.

It's dark, fragrant,

and it never disappoints.

Are you talking about the brandy?

We'll see.

You move pretty fast.

When I see something I really want,

I don't hold back.

I give everything.

I guess I look at life the same way.

I kind of admire that kind of passion in a person.

I like that kind of heat.

I just keep asking myself, what am I doing here?

You can leave if you want.

And go back to what?

A big empty house? A big empty bed?

No.

Tonight, I decided...

will be my night,

that I would call the shots.

Tonight's gonna be all about me.

You strike me as rather

sad and lonely.

I'd like to change that if I could.

So what then, Katy,

would you like to do tonight?

You know, it's funny.

No one's ever asked me that before.

I think...

that I would like to make love to you

until every last bit of energy

has been drained from our bodies.

I love a challenge.

Don't hold back, okay?

Give me everything.

I already told you.

When I see something I really want.

Katy?

Katy, you home?

Hello, darling.

Did you just get home?

Yeah, yeah, but I'm in a hurry.

I'm sorry if I woke you.

I didn't know that you were sleeping in today.

Oh no, it's okay.

I was up late watching TV.

Hmm, what was it this time?

Hmm?

What were you watching on TV?

Oh, uh, something old. "Love Story," I think.

So, um,

I'm already half undressed if you wanna...?

Oh, I wish. I wish but I have a lot to do.

- How 'bout just a quickie? - Look, I'm sorry.

I, um, just came home to grab a few things.

I have another plane to catch.

You what? You have a plane to catch?

You-- wow? You just walked through the front door.

I know, I know, but I'm sorry,

but things on this Wednesday deal

are really starting to heat up

and I can't let them cool down or I'm sunk.

So you're leaving again? Right now?

Just as soon as I grab some papers that I need.

Unbelievable.

Don't you want me anymore?

Of course I do.

I just can't stop everything right now to have sex.

I'm not asking you to stop everything.

You know what I mean.

Look...

when I get back and things slow down,

I'll take you to Vegas.

Promise?

I promise.

But I have to run.

Be safe.

What's wrong with me?

Who wouldn't want...

this?

( music playing )

( moaning )

( doorbell ringing )

Um...just a minute!

Fuck.

I'm coming.

- ( doorbell ringing ) - Coming.

Good morning, Mrs. Fletcher, is Harris home?

Um, no, you just missed him.

Oh, I thought I could catch him before he left.

No, he was in a hurry.

In fact, he couldn't wait to leave.

Oh, I'm sorry.

- Mrs. Fletcher-- - Call me Katy.

Mrs. makes me sound so old.

All right, Katy,

and you're anything but old.

In fact, I think you're absolutely beautiful.

Thank you. Is that for Harris?

It was, but I guess I'm too late.

You can give it to me if you want.

I'll make sure that he gets it.

Sure, Katy, if you really want to.

In fact, I think you should have a peek inside.

It couldn't hurt.

Why are you being so mysterious, Jan?

No mystery.

I think it's about to become crystal clear.

- My God. - My thoughts exactly.

I couldn't imagine what Harris would say

if he were to see them.

You can't. You wouldn't.

I could and I am.

You see, I work for Harris and the Fletcher Company.

My loyalties lie with him.

I like this one.

You're good in bed, Katy, or so I've heard.

What the hell is this about?

This is about money, Katy,

your money.

I can't believe this.

You're actually blackmailing me?

Ooh, I don't like the word blackmail, Katy.

I prefer to think of this as a

marital insurance policy...

one that insures your cooperation.

What do you want?

I think $6,000 would be a bargain

to keep your marriage with Harris in good standing.

Pretty sure you have a prenup that would kick in

if word of your little affair

were to ever get out.

I can't get that kind of money

- without Harris knowing. - Sure you can.

I'm sure you have some jewelry around here that you could sell.

Actually,

you can sell it to this guy.

After, say that it was stolen,

your insurance might even give you money for it,

and we'll be all squared away.

Do we understand each other?

I said, "Do we understand each other?"

It'll take me a while but...

I understand.

Good.

What're you doing?

Think of this as a down payment

to insure your secrecy

and hold me over until we meet again.

- You mean...? - Well, let's face it,

I can only tell so much from these photos.

I wanna see you up close and personal.

How can you say no?

I can't.

Good, then you might as well enjoy it.

I'm known to be pretty good in bed myself.

( music playing )

So how'd it go?

I don't think we have anything to worry about.

She'll do exactly what I tell her to.

You sure?

She's done everything I've asked so far.

And more.

I think she'll follow through.

- She has a lot to lose. - Good,

but we have to be very careful with her.

We don't want to push too hard.

We can't afford to let this one get away.

Don't worry, she's hooked.

Maybe.

Just be careful.

Pity. She was worth a bundle.

I-- I didn't think she would take this way out.

Do you think they could tie anything to us?

You mean, tie anything to you, don't you?

No, I don't think so.

- How can you be so sure? - Easy.

I made sure your pretty little face

didn't appear in any of the photos.

No one will ever know who that other girl was...

except you and me, of course.

This takes everything to a whole new level.

Not at all.

She was unstable, unpredictable.

- It's not our fault. - Sure,

but she was a major client of Fletcher's Chemicals.

I mean, what if she told someone?

What if she left a note?

I just don't think it's smart that we continue

targeting people through my job.

Don't be silly. It's perfect.

Besides, the paper didn't mention anything about a note.

I think she just decided to hide her shame permanently.

Now it's over.

Time to move on.

So... ( giggles )

did you enjoy watching me make love to her?

Watching her go down on me?

Not as much as you seemed to.

It's just business, Jan.

Try to remember that.

And that's all it is, just business.

Oh, yeah? Then, um,

why are you getting so hard just talking about it?

'Cause I know know how wicked you really are.

It wasn't just business for you.

You really wanted her.

- You really took her. - Yeah.

Just like I'm gonna take you...

right now.

( music playing )

( phone beeping )

Hello? Is this Adam?

I need to see you.

I have something I'd like to sell.

You're Adam?

I am.

- Are you Katy? - Yes.

- I, um, - Hey, don't be scared, Katy.

I won't bite you.

I'm here to help...

if I can.

I'm not so sure about that.

Look, honey, I'm here, I'm available,

and I have cash...

and I don't ask too many questions.

Now let me see what you've got.

Nice.

Very nice.

Somebody must love you a lot.

Don't bet on it.

Okay, let's just say,

somebody paid dearly to have you,

and now you're in some kind of a spot.

Is that one?

Do you tell fortunes, too?

You wanna sell it or not?

I want to sell it.

- I can give you $5,000. - ( scoffs )

But it's worth ten.

No, to me it isn't.

5,000 is the best I can do.

I really need 6,000.

No can do. Five.

Take it or leave it.

Okay, fine, I'll take it.

Great.

Come in the back. I'll get you your money.

There you go. $5,000.

You have a lot more money in that bag.

Yeah, but I'm not crazy enough to spend more money

if I really don't have to.

I really need 6,000.

I feel for you, Katy,

I really do,

but I'm a business man.

Please?

Okay.

- Take off your top. - What?

I said, "Take off your top."

If I like what I see

and you want to treat me real nice,

- I'll spot you $1,000. - You can't be serious?

I'm not a prostitute.

Of course you are not.

Now, come on, Katy,

I don't have all day.

Hmm, even nicer than your diamond necklace.

Now...

we'll see how nice you can be.

( music playing )

( doorbell ringing )

I got your message. You work fast.

So do you.

Does my husband know what kind of game you're playing?

No, of course not.

He's never around long enough

to suspect anyone of anything,

but you probably know that better than me.

I suspect I'm not the first person

- you've done this to. - Let's not talk shop, Katy.

$6,000.

Do you want to count it?

No, I trust you.

Then can I please have the pictures?

Not so fast.

You know, I've been thinking about all of this,

- thinking about it a lot. - You rotten bitch.

Maybe,

but I'm a rotten bitch with $6,000,

- and I want more. - I can't believe you.

Do you have any idea what I had to do to get that money?

Get off your high horse, princess.

You did it once and you can do it again

to save all of this.

- I know I would. - What do you want now?

Another little jewelry exchange, except this time

we can cut out the middleman

and you can just hand it directly to me.

I could kill you.

I'm sure you hate me just enough,

but I don't think you really want to do that.

You see, I'm not in this alone.

Now go.

Fine. Wait here.

That was quick.

- Here. - Wow.

Haha. Now that is a nice piece of jewelry.

If it were mine, I would never part with it.

Some things you just can't put a price on.

I like your thinking, Katy.

Are you happy now?

Yes, very.

- For now. - Then get out.

I'll be in touch.

Ciao Bella.

- Hey, Mark. - Well, what's the good word?

I got six grand.

- It's all hundreds. - That's all right.

We can break it up later.

Did you do what I told you to do?

Sure, but she wasn't too happy about it.

She even threatened me.

Who cares?

What's she gonna do now?

She's, uh,

she's gonna find another piece of jewelry

and give it to Adam for another transaction,

but it's gonna take a few days.

All right.

I guess all we can do is wait.

Yeah. I need to show my face around the office

a little bit more.

These long lunches,

people are starting to get suspicious.

Yeah, well, okay. See you tonight.

With bells on.

Mr. Fletcher.

I thought you were gonna be out of town for a few more days.

Yeah, so did I,

but everything feel apart

just as quickly as it had come together.

So it really was no reason for me

to stay in New York a moment longer.

- Have you been home? - No, I, uh,

wanted to come by here for a while

before dealing with that.

Do you have any messages for me?

I do.

I messages are...

take me right here on the desk.

Oh, you naughty girl.

( music playing )

So anything interesting happen while I was away?

No, uh, you know,

- same old same old. - Hmm.

That's too bad.

I was hoping that you found something new

to spark your interest.

- Harris? - Hmm?

Have you ever done something that you really regret

and you can't take it back?

Of course.

I mean, after years of doing business,

I'm sure that I have done something

that I probably shouldn't have.

How do you deal with it?

- How do you live with that? - ( chuckles )

I am blessed with a very short memory

and sometimes a very small conscience.

I just forget about it and move on.

Must be nice.

Something wrong?

Nothing to worry you about.

Just something I saw in an old movie.

( cell phone ringing )

Uh, I left my cell phone in the living room.

Excuse me.

- Hello? - Katy, it's mark.

Remember me?

You asshole, of course I remember you.

Listen, it's not what you think.

We need to meet. It's important.

Can you do that?

Maybe.

My husband is meeting some friends for drinks in about an hour.

He'll be gone for the evening.

Perfect.

Don't tell anyone about this, not anyone.

Why, are you cheating on your girlfriend?

She's not my girlfriend. Trust me.

I'll explain.

Meet me at SeaCliff Lounge nine o'clock.

Fine, nine o'clock.

Anything important?

Oh, no, just another useless sales call.

Listen, if you're done, I can clear up the plates.

I know you have to get ready to go out.

Thanks, doll.

You're the best.

( music playing )

- Please sit down. - Save it,

you blackmailing son of a bitch.

Katy, you got it all wrong.

I'm being blackmailed, too, it's not just you.

What're you saying?

I could lose everything.

This girl Jan, she works for your husband.

She targets people from his contacts

and then sets them up.

How did she get those pictures of us?

She must've been shadowing you and you didn't know it.

I just a lucky extra piece of the puzzle.

Look at this.

Her last victim is dead,

and I don't think it's a suicide.

- You think Jan killed her? - I think that's the final fate

when she's done draining you.

No witnesses.

God, but what-- what can we do?

We gotta kill her.

Killer her?

You can't be serious.

It's the only way either of us will only be free,

and she deserves it.

She murdered that woman, you know she did,

and she'll kill you, too,

and it'll look just like a suicide.

This is crazy. I can't do this.

It's our only hope.

Don't you hate her just enough?

I do.

Good.

I need an alibi.

So I'll tell you where she is

and I'll give you my gun.

I'll be waiting in the bar here

with plenty of witnesses.

If it ever comes out, I'll say my gun was stolen.

You go there and do what you have to do.

Don't leave the gun behind.

We could destroy it later.

Grab the CDs with the photo files

and get out as fast as you can

and don't touch anything else.

Think you can do it?

I don't know...

but I'll try.

Just remember if you don't,

you'll never be rid of her.

She'll ruin everything you have in life,

your marriage, your home,

your reputation...

and then she'll kill you.

Put this in your purse.

And good luck. I'll meet you back here.

( moaning )

( moaning continues )

( moaning continues )

- Harris? - Katy.

Katy, Katy, no, no, no!

Can I get you anything?

Vodka martini.

Oh, fuck, what have I done?

Thank you.

Hope you're not planning to drive yourself home.

No, I'm not. I...

When did you get here?

I guess I got here around the same time as you.

Did you see Mark?

Mark? Who is that?

He's that guy from the other night.

Oh, right, the guy you went home with the other night.

Handsome. Was he any good?

I don't-- I don't want to talk about it.

You're the one that brought it up.

I just asked if you saw him.

Whoa, Katy, calm down.

Are you in some kind of trouble?

I...

I honestly don't know if I'm in trouble

or the trouble's finally over.

Okay.

I'm meeting some friends next door,

just give me a ring if you need a ride home.

I won't.

( cell phone ringing )

Hello?

Woman: Sorry to bother you, Mrs. Fletcher,

but is Harris still at home?

He was due here in the office for a 10:00 a.m. meeting,

and there's been no sign of him.

I'm sorry, I just woke up.

- I don't know where he is. - Woman: All right, thank you.

If you see him, would you please ask him to call in?

Of course.

Just look at you. What a sight.

Almost noon and you're still only half-dressed.

What happened to you?

Well, I couldn't sit around in that bar all night, could I?

You had some luck, I take it?

Excellent, Katy, now our problems are over.

Are they?

Just as soon as you give me the photos.

We need to destroy these.

We will. When the time's right.

What?

Katy, what you've done for me.

Jan was just not a very trustworthy partner.

I found out she was holding back a very expensive bracelet,

yours I believe,

and the ungrateful bitch was cheating on me

outside of business.

So then it wasn't just business anymore.

I killed Harris.

I know and that's a shame.

I was planning on blackmailing him, too, eventually.

He just couldn't keep it in his pants.

I seriously wonder what Jan did for him that you couldn't.

Any guesses?

You rotten bastard.

Of course.

And now this has become a one-man show thanks to you.

But you're rich now, or you will be.

All we need to make sure is that we're not linked to a messy double murder.

Brandy.

Well, well,

my favorite drink.

Did you know that?

You told me a couple of nights ago.

So I did.

- Is is too early? - Under the circumstances?

- No. - You make a good point.

Hmm.

You know my husband was the king of chemicals,

- right? - Huh?

It really was no trouble at all,

the poison, that is.

I put it in the brandy. I knew you couldn't resist.

You're such a pig.

You what?

It's very fast acting. Or so I'm told.

I'd say you'd have about 15 minutes

to get to the hospital,

if you hurry, that is.

- Why? - Do you think I'm stupid?

You give me your gun to shoot my husband

and you set yourself up with a perfect alibi

with no alibi for me.

I knew you'd double cross me.

You bitch.

I'll kill you.

It wouldn't bother me at all

to shoot an intruder in my own home...

especially an intruder

that just killed my husband and his lover.

( sobbing ) But, officer,

he must've been in a jealous rage.

( laughing )

I'd say that you'd have about 14 minutes now

to get to that hospital,

but you're not moving fast enough.

Hurry, Mark, hurry.

Oh, and I lied about the hospital.

Newman on TV: Sgt. Randall of the metro division

has issued a statement today

concerning the death of an intruder

in the upscale Riverside section of town.

The deceased man is suspected of being involved

in the double murder that occurred earlier that day

in which the nude bodies of a man and woman

were found dead by gunshot wounds in bed together.

Jealously is considered the motive

although authorities say all the details

are not yet clear.

I think $6,000 would be a bargain.

Your obvious elegance,

your sophisticated demeanor,

and you're beautiful.

When I get back and things slow down,

I'll take you to Vegas.

Look, honey,

I'm here, I'm available,

and I have cash.

Come on, Katy,

you're married, you have a husband,

he's good looking and rich.
