This summer's forecast, a whole lot of heat with a high chance of betrayal.

Shh, perfect.

Sweat it out with hot new movies every Thursday and Friday.

That is huge.

Don't go looking for trouble. Never stop.

As the temperatures rise, so do the thrills.

I'd kill for you, but you'd do the same for me.

Sizzling summer nights.

Dark Thursday, July 10th on LMN.

Let's lose the red lips.

It's a little too intense.

What do you think?

Definitely. Can you please?

Actually, let's take a break.

I'm starving. Everyone else, let's be.

Uh, that's fine.

We'll meet back up in an hour or so. Great, thank you. You look beautiful.

you.

I could get used to this.

It's what?

Catered lunches, smoothies.

Oh, gosh. I mean, it's the least I could do.

I know you're not charging me and you're close to your usual, right? I can't

tell you what I'm looking for.

Well, I mean, what are friends for?

Besides, I am in this for selfish purposes.

What do you mean?

I mean, after the fashion show.

Ruby and Rommel Lingerie is going to explode.

I don't know about that.

Oh, come on.

You already have the orders placed and the buyers lined up.

Besides... You're wearing your bra -free bra all day, and it's perfect.

It's been shimmying around, and everything is just staying exactly where

needs to be. Well, I should hope so.

That's what it's designed to do.

Well, it would be nice if you got some use out of it yourself.

Okay, and then what do you mean by that?

I mean, how long has it been?

Since what?

Since Luke.

It hasn't been that long.

Besides,

these things, they take time.

Wow. Don't let it take too long.

Everybody knows there's nothing fatter than a lingerie designer with no one to

model for.

Maybe you could pick one out. I would love to.

Luke? I'm looking for Luke.

He's not here.

Open up. I know he's in there.

Lower your voice. I said he's not here.

Well, where is he? I don't know. He doesn't live here anymore.

Well, when you see him... I won't be seeing him.

When you see him, just tell him I'll be seeing him.

I see you again! I called the cops!

You should have called the cop.

What are they going to do?

In this city, they have bigger fish to fry.

I mean, you told Luke what happened.

I messaged him. And? What did he say?

He never got back to me.

This is why you need a new man with a normal job.

It's been so long, I wouldn't even know how to get back into it.

And that's why I have the pepper spray.

I mean, it's a good point.

Things have changed. I mean, he's been out of the game a while.

But, you ever hear of Rina?

No. Okay, so it's this new dating app, like super exclusive.

Basically, you need to be rich or famous.

Preferably both.

Well, great, because I'm neither.

Firstly, your lingerie line is about to explode.

Secondly, look at you. You are gorgeous.

And thirdly, most important maybe, Your best friend just happens to be a well

-known photographer who was recently given arena code as a favor.

Arena code?

Yeah, you need one to join.

Anyway, the point is, you need this more than I do right now.

Give me your phone.

Mm -hmm. Seriously?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Ooh, what are you doing?

There. Done.

Oh, what have I gotten myself into?

Oh, please.

You'll be thanking me when you're hooking up with some pro athletes.

By the way, this wouldn't be a bad idea for your place. You should get one for

the front door.

Successful fashion designer seeks hot new accessories?

Oh, what? It's cute.

Andrew, if this doesn't work, I am holding you responsible.

And what if it does work out?

Well, then it's my idea, of course. Oh, of course.

Well, this is fun.

Are you sure you're not hungry?

Look, I don't mind the quiet type, but is everything okay?

Excuse me.

Thank you.

Hello? If you don't leave, I'm calling the cops.

think things ended that badly between us.

What are you doing here?

Um, I just wanted to bring this by. This is, um, it's a lot of your stuff, I

think.

I'll just put it in. No, no, no, here. I'll take it. Rubes is heavy.

Luke, I'll take it.

Close the door.

Look, I didn't mean to startle you. I should have called first.

Yeah.

What's the matter with you?

Someone came here last night looking for you.

It scared me half to death.

Who?

How should I know? Someone you insulted or flattered or who knows what?

What did you say?

What do you think I said?

I said you don't live here anymore, and then I told him to leave.

You gotta fix that lock, Ruby.

Clearly.

I got a toolkit in the trunk. I can take care of it in like two minutes. I'll

handle it.

Do you know how many break -ins there have been in this neighborhood lately?

No, I don't, but I'm sure that you are going to tell me. Car 16, we have a

possible 625 in progress.

See?

Why? Why do you have that? That is so... That is so weird, Luke.

Yeah, the cops won't talk to me anymore.

Turns out they weren't fans of the way I portrayed their department in my latest

article, so how else do you expect me to stay on top of things?

And you wonder why.

Why what?

That's what I thought.

Those are yours, I guess.

Fix the lock.

Can't get by it now.

Can't get life now.

I gotta do it for you.

Can't get by it now.

Can't get life now.

I gotta do it for me too.

So I'll do other things if it's day or night.

I gotta do it this way.

It's on me.

The way my life, the way it turns around.

Hello,

Dylan.

Hey. Hey. You doing okay?

Yeah. Why?

So that guy had you really freaked out.

What guy?

The guy who came looking for Luke.

Oh. Yeah, yeah.

Wait a second.

He just came over to drop off some things.

Uh -huh. And the last time that happened, he ended up spending the

Well, that was then.

And before he became so... Paranoid. Hey, no judgment here. Honestly, I'm the

best sex I've had as a guy after we broke up.

Well, Luke and I are done for good.

But... That doesn't matter anymore.

Follow me?

Yes, my queen.

I have a date.

When did this happen?

Look, I knew it.

Oh, my.

Wealthy and super hot.

I should have kept the code for myself.

Sorry, no one seems to know how to order anymore.

No, don't worry about it. We were just about to go over the photos from the

shoot. Right after we finished talking about your boss's date.

Ruby, you have a date!

It's not a big deal. I haven't even met him yet.

It is a big deal.

Show her his profile.

Okay, here.

Coco?

What is it?

I... I think I know this guy.

Hold on.

So what you're about to see is... We should be seeing are the photos from the

shoot. I mean, they have to be sent out to all the fashion media in, um... Oh,

exactly. Six hours.

And all that can get done in, like, an hour.

Go on.

So what you're about to see is a clip from the current season... of

the hit reality show, Marry My Millionaire.

Honestly...

I cannot believe you have not seen it because it is fire.

Okay.

Love is free.

But that doesn't mean it's cheap.

Why settle when you can marry my millionaire?

Is it for real?

Yes. It's for real.

Jules Jetridge is a Chicago institution.

She's a third -generation matchmaker and has married a billionaire twice.

The same one?

Does it matter?

In each episode, Jules brings in a new millionaire, and three women compete to

go on a master date. And by the end, he usually proposes.

He proposes?

After one date.

A master date?

Yeah, Ruby, haven't you ever master dated?

Plus, they've gotten to know each other off camera. We don't need to see all

that boring stuff.

Anyways, I'm going to skip ahead.

That's him, right?

Will you accept this ring?

Grace?

Time for your answer.

Are you ready to marry my millionaire?

Now, tell me this.

What kind of person proposes on a reality TV show?

Well, he didn't marry her.

Well, we assume he didn't marry her.

Yeah, but if he'd married her, he wouldn't still be on Rena.

Right. Because no one ever cheats.

Ugh, forget it.

I'm canceling.

What? What, because you're so offended that the hot millionaire who a couple

hours ago you were excited to see was on a reality dating show once?

Just a minute.

You're scared.

Scared of what, exactly?

Getting hurt.

Okay.

Help me get ready.

Ooh, what are you thinking?

I'm thinking of matching something with the screen.

Can I come too? Of course.

Perfection. Okay, I'm coming out. Okay.

Ruby, you look... Ridiculous?

No!

Perfect.

Dylan's not going to know what hit him.

Okay, thank you. Okay.

You sure you don't want me to drop you off? Oh, no, no. I'm just parked in the

garage. Okay, because I will leave my phone on, and if it's awkward or

there's no spark, just text me, and I will get you airlifted out of there.

Okay.

No! Okay.

Is someone there?

Hi, it's Ruby.

Don't tell me you're canceling already. I just snuck out of work.

No, no, no. I'm actually calling because my car has completely died.

I must have left the lights on or something.

Where are you?

Dylan, really, it's okay. I'll meet you at the restaurant.

Come on, where are you?

Kingsbury and Oak.

Oh, well, I'm already in the area.

Are you sure it's no trouble?

My pleasure. Just sit tight.

Okay. Thank you.

Hi. Hi.

Well, this couldn't have started off any worse.

Oh, I don't know. I'm kind of enjoying myself.

Should we do the formal introductions?

Sure.

Dylan.

Ruby.

Yeah. Hungry?

Starving.

Follow me.

I've heard of this place. There's like a six -month wait list to get in.

How did you manage to get a reservation?

I didn't.

Wait, because we don't have a reservation?

My company brings in a lot of business.

What company is that?

I'm a broker.

Stop. Gold, actually.

Really? Yeah.

It's your good times and bad. It's the one asset that retains its value.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

So, enough about me.

I want to hear about you.

Okay, well, I'm a designer.

I actually have my own lingerie line, Ruby Rommel.

I know.

You Googled me.

Of course I did.

I mean, I know Arena Vets, it's users, and you can never be too careful, but I

would. Just a little curious.

Uh, Dylan,

there's something I should probably tell you.

I'm really not supposed to be on Rena.

What do you mean?

I mean my friend, she swiped a code.

Oh, wow.

So, uh, you brought me here under false pretenses, is that it?

Actually, you brought me here.

I guess we'll just call it even then, huh?

Dylan!

I thought that was you.

Hello, Jewel.

Hello.

Jewel Jetrich? Oh, of course.

Ruby Rommel.

Ruby Rommel?

Like the designer?

Yeah.

How did you know that?

Oh, well.

I love it. It's not often I find something that fits me so well. Thank

I am so sorry, but duty calls.

It was lovely to meet you, my dear. You too. Maybe we can collaborate on

something one day.

I would love that.

Dylan.

I am so sorry about that.

Don't be silly. That was exciting.

So you know who she is, then?

Well, I know her show. I can't say I'm the biggest fan or anything.

Okay. So, my turn to come clean about something.

I know Jewel so well because I went on her show once.

I couldn't even tell you why I did it.

I guess I was just looking for someone special.

You knew the whole time?

I didn't at first. I mean, not initially when I saw your profile on Reena.

It wasn't until after my assistant showed me a clip of your show. I never

heard of it.

She showed you my clip?

Yeah.

And you still agreed to meet me?

Honestly, I wasn't going to.

I mean, but Ella, she said that I should probably... Sorry, who's Ella?

My best friend.

She said I should give this a chance.

I'm so glad that you did.

You know what? Me too.

I don't want this night to end.

Neither do I.

Just a house.

This is not just a house.

Looks better on the inside.

You promise?

Morning. Good morning.

I didn't know how you took it, so I guess two sugars, splash cream?

That is perfect.

What I don't know is how you take your eggs.

I mean, my housekeeper's out, but my scrambled eggs are pretty legendary.

Today I will take them to go.

I'm so sorry. I have a really important meeting I need to get to.

Well, let me grab my jacket. I'll drive you. No, Dylan, it's okay.

I will take a car.

Ruby, come on. Let me drive you.

Go make the...

My ride will be here in a couple minutes.

That's all I need. It's almost finished.

Actually, I'm going to pass on breakfast, if you don't mind.

I'm not that hungry.

You don't even want it to go?

I'm good.

Hey, is everything okay?

Yeah, yeah.

I just want you to know,

I don't usually do that.

Hey.

Neither do I.

I would, like, really love to see you again.

Yeah, me too.

My ride's here.

Bye then.

Bye -bye.

Hello? What are you doing here?

My husband is right outside.

I know.

They're home early.

And what did you take this time?

Helen, come on.

What?

Oh, no.

Come on, now. You know better than that.

I'll be right out.

What do you want?

Just flip out the back door and forget any of this ever happened.

You know, you get to keep the insurance money from the robber, and these are a

little secret.

Get out.

Nobody gets into Anselmo's without a reservation.

Well, you said he brings them a lot of business.

Yeah, but they don't need the business.

They've got a wait list that's like six months out.

I don't know what to tell you. I mean, we ain't there.

Okay, well, did he say anything about his ex -fiancee?

You know, that lady from the reality show?

Great. Right.

Yeah, he was honest about it.

Okay, did he say what happened between them?

No, and I didn't ask.

I know what happened.

I heard she disappeared.

What?

Yeah, she disappeared before the wedding.

And he didn't say anything to you?

I mean, we talked about the show, not about her.

Look, let's just relax, okay?

After embarrassing yourself on a reality TV show, who wouldn't want to disappear

for a couple months?

But her clothes are still there.

What?

In his closet, her dresses.

That's weird.

I don't know.

It was just very recently Lou came and dropped off the rest of my stuff.

Look, I don't really care how good a time you had with him. I'm just saying I

don't think right now is the time to limit your options.

I think she's right.

Now's the time to play the field before things get too serious. If they get

serious.

Hit.

Boom.

Gorgeous dates.

La Fonda Art Gallery.

Hottie.

I mean, I guess it wouldn't hurt to see what's out there.

Absolutely, that's what I'm saying.

Listen, I know you had a good time, but... Hope I'm not interrupting.

Dylan!

What are you doing here?

Well, I was in the neighborhood.

How did you know where I worked?

Well, you told me the name of the company, and then I just looked up the

address.

Yeah, smart.

Thank you.

Sorry. Hi, I'm Dylan.

We know.

It's nice to meet you.

And you as well.

Anyway, I was hoping maybe you had some time for lunch.

Well, let me grab my stuff.

So, tell me about this show.

Well, production is a bit behind, but we should have everything ready to go.

And what's the point of the show?

Introduce the line to the world?

Mainly it's to get press, get the buyers excited, hopefully get more store

orders.

And once we get our name out there, we'll pivot to doing online sales.

There's way less overhead, way more profit.

And I've already got the fulfillment center ready to go.

Ruby Rommel, limited line.

Smart. Really smart, actually.

Thank you.

You know, I haven't told anybody else this, but our pre -orders are through

roof.

If everything works out, I'll be taking you to El Somos.

You know, you remind me of me.

Really? Yeah.

I was never handed anything.

Everything I have in life I had to work for.

Yeah, me too.

But believe me, there are times when I wish things were handed to me.

Nah.

Then you wouldn't be who you are.

How about we continue this later on tonight?

I kind of haven't been able to stop thinking about you.

Actually, I have plans.

Oh.

Another suitor?

You do have a date?

Look, I... I didn't expect what happened between us last night to happen.

I already had the date set up.

So cancel it.

All right. I understand.

But what would you say if I told you to have a terrible time tonight?

I just want to make sure this is real.

I mean, after all, you did false for grace really quickly, too.

She's not really gone, is she?

This morning I, um... I went into your closet.

I was just looking for a shirt or something, and I called down to you, but

didn't hear me.

Anne?

I saw the dresses.

Yeah.

I should have got rid of them after she left.

Why didn't you?

I don't know. I... I guess... I guess

part of me just always hoped that she'd come back.

But I'll get rid of them.

I promise.

I've never had a reason to before.

But now I do.

This place is very, um, unique.

It is, isn't it?

Um, and this, this is so, uh, profound.

I think it represents the inevitability of death.

No, I don't think that's it.

I'm going to get another drink.

Yeah.

Hi, can I get a large glass of white wine, please?

Thank you.

Ruby! Oh, Jules!

Twice in 24 hours.

I might start to think that you're stalking me.

So you're following me? Well... So, what are you doing here?

Oh, um, it's been the worst date of my life.

Oh, not with Dylan?

No, no, that went really great, actually.

I bet it did.

Thank you.

So, um, how well do you know him?

Uh, very well, actually.

Why?

I don't know.

Oh.

You guys are falling for him, aren't you?

Well, I mean, it's a bit hard to fall for someone after just a couple of

Not in my world, honey.

Right.

So, Jules, I know that Dylan proposed to someone on his show.

I was just wondering, do you know what happened?

Well, what did Dylan tell you?

Not much. Here you are.

Where's my drink?

Hey.

Something tells me I need to keep an eye on you, Ruby.

Where the hell was that?

Oh, just, um, a friend.

A drink?

Yeah, you know what?

I think I'm going to head out.

Okay, I guess I'll go see him. I could pop in. No, no, no, you can, um, you

here.

I'll be fine.

What are you saying?

I'm saying I had a nice time with you tonight.

I just, I think, I think I'm just going to go.

You're just going to leave.

Pretty lame.

It's been fun, Dash.

Hey. You fixed the lock, finally.

What are you doing here?

I just wanted to check up on you.

You don't need to check up on me. I'm not one of your investigations.

In fact, I have someone coming over right now.

Ah.

Guy from the park?

Public place, Ruby. It's not like I was peeking through the window.

It's just as bad.

So how did you two meet?

Same way everyone meets these days.

Ruby, do you know how many women I've talked to who have been stalked or hurt

somebody that they've met online? I mean, look, it's not safe, all right?

What do you even really know about this guy?

You've got to go.

Thank you.

Thank you. Yeah, thanks.

Be careful. Thanks, bye.

Not a clue, I mean, and then he just handed me his glass without even asking

anything. I don't know.

That sounds absolutely awful.

Because it was.

I mean, the second I stepped in there, I wanted to immediately leave.

Well, you know, not to call a spade a spade, but that's kind of what you get

going out with somebody that you met on a dating app.

I did see Jules there.

Jules, huh? Really?

Wild,

right?

Well, you know, I mean, scouting for her show is a really big part of the job.

Or maybe she just wanted to be amongst the beautiful people.

But you know what I would really love to do?

What?

See that studio of yours.

Really? Yeah.

I want to see where all the magic happens.

I want to know everything about you.

So the entire line is about comfort.

Women feeling good in their skin, making their own decisions.

Because ultimately, it's our choice.

I like that.

Empowering.

Exactly.

Well, you can tell that you're confident.

Completely in control.

You know, in designing, maybe.

What do you mean?

I mean, I've always been self -assured when it comes to my work. It's

else. That's the problem.

Sounds like there's a story there.

No story.

Just a series of failed relationships.

You already know why I was on, Rena.

Why were you?

Well, I thought my last relationship was the one.

He was exciting, a reporter.

We were together for years.

And so what happened?

His job happened.

It changed him. He started to see the world in a...

Very dark light.

And I didn't want to live my life like that.

So you feel in touch with him?

Not by choice.

He checks up on me just to make sure I'm okay.

I know how it sounds.

It's just really out of concern.

You... Nothing to be worried about.

Well, you know, I think you'd look amazing in that.

You know, it's funny. I actually have never worn anything I've designed

Seriously?

Seriously.

Samples are expensive. I can't afford to waste anything.

You in that would never be a waste.

First time in my life.

Completely speechless.

Good.

Because I am done talking.

I've never met anyone like you before, Ruby.

Not even... Grace?

No, we're not.

I'm so sorry.

No, no.

You have a right to know.

Like I said before, I went on the show with all the right reasons. I really did

hit it off with her.

I know it sounds silly, but we clicked.

We had so much in common.

What happened?

Well, producers forced the engagement upon us.

I didn't care. I figured it was meant to be. It was meant to be, you know.

And if not, well, we just call it off.

Is that how she felt?

Yeah, I thought so.

And then the second the camera stopped rolling, she changed.

And I mean, I know everybody would act differently, not in the spotlight, but

she changed.

She became distant, angry.

I tried to ask her about it, but she refused to discuss whatever was wrong.

So finally,

I said if things didn't change, I wasn't going to go through with it.

What did she say?

I never saw her again.

What?

Exactly what I just said.

She literally disappeared.

Did you go looking for her?

Of course.

I mean, there's only so much I could do.

I figured that eventually, once she worked through what she needed to, she'd

reach out to me, but... She never did.

Where is she now?

It's been so dramatic.

Yeah, but it's got us all relying to it.

If that didn't happen, I wouldn't have met you.

What do you mean my shipment is stuck in customs?

No, no, I understand what it means. I just can't believe... Yes.

I will hold.

Hey, are you still on hold, too?

I'm waiting for a supervisor.

Yeah, spoiler alert, there is no supervisor.

Yes.

Uh -huh.

Exactly.

Okay, so you can't ship it overnight.

Perfect.

I'll sign for it.

No, no, thank you.

I really, really appreciate it.

Okay.

Thank you. Goodbye.

Oh, that's probably from one of the magazines. I'm turning a sample.

Oh, my God.

What is it?

It's not a sample.

It was from Dylan.

Hey, you guys finally get through?

Whoa.

This can't be real, right?

It's beautiful.

It's definitely real.

No, seriously.

Marry this man.

What do you think?

Well, it's beautiful.

And way too soon.

Excuse me?

I mean, can't you see how strange this is?

That someone would want to buy me expensive jewelry?

No, that's not what I mean, and you know it.

You know, you're the one that pushed me to use this app.

To go and meet people and live it up.

Yeah.

I did push you to try those things.

Don't you see how fast this is moving? I mean, what, you go from Luke to not

trusting anyone.

Now this.

I know how I feel. Yeah, you're not the one I'm worried about.

What are you talking about?

Dylan. I mean, how well do you even know the guy?

I'm getting to know him.

And so far, it's been great.

Better than great, actually.

It's been perfect.

Ruby.

He asked that other woman to marry him after one date.

That was for a reality television show. What? That just means it's not true.

We talked about that.

Did you talk about what happened to her?

She disappeared.

What does that even mean?

Exactly what it sounds like.

Ruby, listen to yourself.

I mean, I know you like this guy and everything, but come on, there's some

serious red flags here.

Do me a favor, Ella.

If you're going to be on my side, great.

And if not, I'd appreciate it if you mind your own business.

Ruby.

What happened?

I gave her my opinion. She didn't want to hear it.

About the line?

Worth.

Her love life.

What's the matter?

I've never seen somebody so unhappy with a lot of... Sorry.

Nothing.

I was just thinking.

About?

About how some people just can't be happy for you.

Okay. Spill it.

I told you about my best friend, Ella.

The one who gave me the code for Rena.

Oh, the one that I met in your office?

Right, yeah. Well...

She's the one who talked me into dating again. I mean, she practically had to

push me to use the app. Now she thinks things are moving too quickly.

How did you know?

Because she's a good friend.

Things are moving quickly.

And I'm okay with that. I mean, I know what we have. You know what we have.

But the other people, people on the outside looking in, I mean, I can see

they might find it a little strange.

Okay, you?

Oh.

I guess so.

She's just looking out for you.

Won't let her bother you.

If I had a dollar for everyone who was looking out for me, I wouldn't have to

worry about promoting my line.

Oh?

Luke.

He's still bothering you.

Last night, right before you came over, he stopped by.

You never told me that.

I threw him out right away. I didn't... I want to make a big deal out of it.

So what did he want?

Usual paranoia.

Ruby, if this is going to work, your ex can't keep doing that.

Do you want me to talk to him? No.

That wouldn't be good.

I'll take care of it.

I promise.

Hey, excuse me.

Can I help you? Yeah, I think you can. My name's Luke Ranford. I'm an

investigative reporter.

Me? You're Brittany, right?

Yeah. I wanted to talk to you about your sister, Grace.

And I have some questions about Dylan Martin.

I've got nothing to say about him.

It's important.

Why?

Because someone very close to me might be falling in love with him.

Okay.

I won't take too much of your time.

So how'd you find me?

Well, like I said, I'm an investigative reporter, so... Your sister's social

media wasn't hard.

I told her not to go on that stupid show.

So why did she?

Who wouldn't want to marry a young, hot millionaire, right?

Yeah.

Anyway, I knew no good was going to come out of it.

But great.

She was a hopeless romantic.

From what was on the show, at least what aired, it seemed like they were really

into each other.

Yeah, I think they were.

She was head over heels for that guy.

So what happened?

Apparently, the more she found out about him, the more she realized he was full

of it.

What do you mean?

Well, you know what the show is called, obviously.

Yeah, well, it turns out he wasn't even a millionaire.

Not even close.

He was just hoping to get famous.

Great month of the decade.

Not about the millionaire part.

At least she didn't care about the wealth or the status.

She was curious when she found out that he lied to her.

Did she ever say how it ended?

No.

I never heard back from her.

You didn't find that odd?

My sister and I were close, but...

We didn't have the kind of relationship where we spoke every day.

I just figured that he needed some time to think things through.

So you haven't seen or heard from her since?

I went to the police and they tried to help. They even questioned Dylan.

But ultimately they couldn't find any evidence that linked him to her

disappearance.

And then when I told them the whole back story, they were even more skeptical.

They said that she got a taste of the limelight but didn't like it.

But you don't believe that?

Of course not.

My sister wouldn't have just disappeared like that.

Not without telling me.

Brittany, what do you think happened to Grace?

The only thing I know for sure is that he had something to do with it.

Thank you so much.

Come on, man. I know you're in there.

Who is it?

You know, I think it's time you and I had a little talk.

Ruby's not here.

Yeah, I know she's not here. I just left her. I want to talk to you.

Come on. You'll want to hear what I have to say. I promise.

So, what do you want?

I have to sit down.

Hey.

So, what wonderful things did Grace's sister have to say about me?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Of course you do.

I was there watching you the entire time.

Now we just need to decide what we're going to do about it.

Okay, if you leave now, I won't tell Ruby, all right? Well, it's too late for

that. I know you called her already.

I can't have you running around after your ex, sticking your nose into my

business.

You understand?

You understand that?

Get out.

Put the knife down. We both know you're not going to use it. Get out!

Okay. Okay.

She's not going to believe you, you know. Yeah, maybe not.

But she'll believe Ella once I tell her.

Thank you. Thank you.

Yeah. First saved message.

Ruby, it's me.

Call me as soon as you can. I need to see you right away.

Well, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think you should call him back,

find out what he wants. I did.

A bunch of times. It just always goes straight to voicemail.

Well, there you go then. I mean, it couldn't have been that important,

I don't know. It just doesn't feel like him.

Okay, let's go then.

Where?

What do you mean, where? To Luke's place.

I can't. I have so much to do today.

Ruby, if you were really worried about him, you'd be over there in a second.

No, okay, okay, you're right.

Okay, I know. Let's go.

Wait, you're coming with me?

Yeah, I'm not letting you go over there alone.

No matter how much I think you're overreacting.

Come on, take my cards faster.

You live here?

Yeah, he loves, what do they call it, the grit.

Likes to pretend he's a hard -boiled reporter from the 1940s.

Bell doesn't ring.

Never did.

He loves this neighborhood, but he would never leave the door unlocked.

I'm trying him again, one more time.

We need to call the police. He could be in trouble.

Ruby. Ruby, no!

Again, I'm so sorry for your loss, Mr. Mel.

We hadn't been together for quite some time, but it's so horrible.

I understand.

Now, Mr. Mel, you were the first one to notice the body, correct?

Yes.

But only for a moment, and then I turned away.

I told her not to look.

It was obvious what had happened.

But you did, Mr. Martin, correct?

You looked.

I didn't just look. I made Ruby wait by the door and then I went to examine the

body. Why would you do that?

To make sure he wasn't alive.

And how did you ascertain that?

I felt for his pulse.

Where?

Where what?

Where did you feel for his pulse?

On his neck and then on his wrist.

Do you have formal first aid training, Mr. Martin?

Basic first aid training. I was a lifeguard once, though.

So once you determined the body was deceased, you then called the police?

Exactly.

Mr. Mel, do you have any idea why somebody would want to harm Mr.

He made a living asking questions to people who didn't like being asked them.

So was he ever threatened by anyone that you know of?

Nothing that would...

Wait a minute, didn't you tell me about someone who came by recently looking for

Luke?

Yeah, but I can't imagine that he... Every bit of information helps, okay?

Yeah, someone came by a couple nights ago demanding to speak with Luke, but

long broken up, so I told him to never come back again.

Does that someone have a name?

No, sorry.

I'll put some pictures together if you wouldn't mind having a look, okay?

Detective, can I take Ruby home now?

She's been through a lot.

Maybe you could speak with her again later?

Of course.

I appreciate both your time.

I know this can't be easy.

Thank you.

Oh, Mr. Martin.

The responding police officer. He didn't get your address.

Why would he need my address?

Just in case we need to speak with you again.

Oh, okay.

My number's right there. Call me anytime.

Okay. Thank you.

Thank you for being here with me.

Are you kidding? Where else would I be?

How I acted before.

All I said to you.

Friends bite.

And honestly, even though my intentions were good, I probably should have kept

my mouth shut.

It's okay.

Things are moving quickly with Dylan.

Sure you wouldn't rather be with him? No.

All I need is you right now.

I don't understand it.

I mean, Luke had a lot of enemies, but

I'd never imagine anything to happen like this.

Hey, this is not supposed to make sense.

Luke took a lot of risks.

It's hard to believe that it actually got him. with him.

What's that?

Sorry. Oh, my gosh. You almost gave me a heart attack.

I thought you were sleeping.

You okay? What is that?

Here, take a look.

Is it?

Same one.

Well, what made you look?

I was just sitting there.

staring at it, and then I realized I'd seen it before.

But that would mean...

Hey,

good morning.

I need to talk to you.

Okay.

The tennis bracelet you gave me.

Where did you get it?

A jeweler I do a lot of business with. Why?

You didn't get it from Grace?

Ruby,

what's this about?

I saw a clip of you and Grace.

She's wearing a tennis bracelet.

The exact same bracelet.

Yeah, it's because I bought it for her.

The same one?

Yeah, yeah, the same one. But, I mean, I just, I really like it, you know? And I

thought you would look gorgeous in it, so I, I mean, I guess I just never

thought you'd know.

So you didn't take it back from her?

Of course not.

Well, where is it now?

Wherever she is.

Look, let me come over and explain it.

No.

I don't think so, Dylan.

Really, please.

Look, Dylan, I have a really, really busy day. I need to get back to the

and I have to prep for my show.

Then I'll come by, okay?

I need some time to think about this.

I'll come to you when I'm ready, okay?

Okay, but just make sure you call me first, okay?

I will.

Yes? Hi.

I'm here to see Dylan Martin.

Who?

Dylan Martin.

This is Ruby.

I'm afraid you have the wrong address.

I don't think so.

Hello?

I'm so sorry. I'm looking for Dylan Martin.

I understand.

And who are you?

I'm Helen Miller.

This is my house.

Your house?

Please, sit down.

Spent the night here.

Just a few days ago with a man named Dylan Martin.

I have no doubt that you did.

Who is he?

I guess it all depends on who he needs to be for you.

For me, he was a distraction.

A small burst of excitement in my otherwise dreary life.

You had an affair with him?

I was flattered.

A man like him could still find me attractive?

But you don't understand.

You can't.

You're too young.

But one day you will.

And did you eventually end it?

Dylan Martin, or whatever his real name is.

stole over $100 ,000 in jewelry from me.

And when I threatened to go to the police, he threatened to go to my

What else could I do? I kept my mouth shut.

Mrs. Miller, is it yours?

Oh, my husband.

Bought this for me for our 10th anniversary.

I'm so sorry. Here. No.

You keep it.

It means nothing to me now.

Miss Miller, did you have another bracelet just like this?

No, it was custom made. I picked out the stones myself.

I have to go.

No.

Be careful, my dear.

Men like Dylan, who care only about themselves, you never know

what they're capable of.

What are you doing here?

I told you I had to talk to you.

So you broke in?

I didn't break in. The door was unlocked.

I don't want to see you right now.

Ruby, what's the matter?

Did you kill Luke?

There is no kill Luke. Why would I do that?

Because you knew he was a reporter?

And you knew he would protect me.

Protect you from who?

From you.

You knew he'd find out about you.

The real you.

Okay, this is the real me, okay?

Did the real you kill Grace?

Come on, Grace disappeared. I told you that.

I spoke to Helen Miller.

She told me everything.

Oh, that woman was way more trouble than she was worth.

Trust me, Ruby, what she told you was far from everything.

Why couldn't you just leave well enough alone, huh?

Why'd you have to go poking your nose where it doesn't belong, huh?

Suck your ass.

Jules.

Watch the door.

What are you... What are you doing here?

I followed Dylan here.

But why?

What happened to Grace?

Was it Dylan?

Did he kill her?

He did.

Didn't he?

Why didn't you go to the police?

The police?

Do you know what that would do to my reputation?

To the show?

I'm responsible for vetting my contestants. What if it came out that

was a con man and a murderer?

This is crazy.

I'm calling the police.

Ruby. Stop.

You're part of this now.

No, I'm not.

I don't know. I don't know anything.

I know you've been talking to Helen Miller.

Don't lie to me.

What are you going to do with him?

What I should have done a long time ago.

You're just going to kill him?

There's one thing you should know about me, Ruby.

And that's that I always protect what's mine.

Maybe... Maybe you're wrong about him.

Don't make me laugh.

He's a liar.

A con man.

He's a joke. No.

He's a complete nobody.

He's not.

Total pathetic.

Loser. Stop.

You don't know him like I do.

I really thought you were smarter than that, my dear.

You're right.

I am.

Ruby, come on out. I know you're in here.

Everyone else is just lying, okay?

You don't have to hide.

Come on, I know you're in here.

Don't listen to Jewel. She's a liar.

Listen, I'm sorry about your ex, okay? He really was a great investigator.

But he was just jealous.

He's jealous of us.

We're just perfect together, you and me. You know this.

come out.

Ruby? Are you in here?

No!

No!

How

did

he know?

To come to the studio, I mean.

Jules came to the office looking for you.

I couldn't believe it was her.

What did she want?

That's the thing she didn't tell me.

When I told her I didn't know where you were or when you'd be back, she said

she'd look for you herself.

When I couldn't reach you, I pulled up.

So we followed her.

Thank God he did.

When we started going to the studio, we called the police.

I don't know what I would do without you two.

Hey, what are assistants for?

Best friends.

Best friends.

All right, that's the last model.

Yep, I have her right here.

And she looks fierce.

Okay?

And you're moving.
