Please. Stop!

- So, here we are.

- You did
a beautiful job with everything.

- Oh, that's kind of you.

- She's not just being kind.

Charlotte is an interior
decorator with high standards.

- Well, in that
case, I'm honored.

So, four bedrooms,
three bathrooms.

It's cozy without being cozy.

- Oh, we don't mind cozy.
The penthouse was plenty cozy.

- A cozy penthouse? Really?

So, are you guys downsizing?

- Uh, no, we're maturing
and multiplying.

Penthouse didn't seem
like the smartest place

to raise a family.
Isn't that right, sweetie?

- Absolutely.

- Oh, well if it's a family
you're thinking of,

you're in the right place.
We are in one of the best--

- School districts in
the country. Yeah, I know.

I've done my research. There was
a method in my madness.

- Well, let's maybe settle on
the house first

before we start scribbling
growth charts on the wall.

[chuckles]

[chuckles]
- Well, it's never

too early to plan ahead.

- Thank you.
That's exactly what I say.

Isn't that right, Charlotte?

- I'm gonna take
a look out back.

[birds chirping]

[inhales and exhales deeply]

- Is something wrong, Joel?

[chuckles softly]

- Um, Trudie you're,
you're good.

But four bedrooms,
three bathrooms, it's not cozy

in any climate. And, and your
asking price, it's a steal.

Usually when something's
too good to be true,

it's because it is.

- You really are
a lawyer, aren't you?

- Well, I suppose
I have to be honest.

You were gonna find out anyway.

[ominous beat]

[door opens]

[peaceful music]

- I see it now.

- See what?

- Why you wanted
to move so much.

I never really felt it
before. But this place,

I mean, this place is it.

It's a beautiful home
with beautiful possibilities.

- Wait, are you saying
what I think you're saying?

[laughs happily]

- Joel, we get
an organic garden.

- But you, you mean this, right?
Like, you want this place?

- Don't you?
[chuckles]

There is something
about it. It's...

...speaking to me.

And you know how you're always
saying that we could do with

being a little bit
more impulsive.

Let's do it.

[laughs]

Let's do it right now,
and just not think about it.

- Are we gonna put an offer in?

[laughs happily]

[disturbing shrill]

[exhales deeply]

[footsteps approach]

Hmm.

- This is where
you're gonna put your office?

- Oh, uh, did you have
dibs? I'm, I'm so sorry, I--

[laughs]

- Relax. I'm gonna
take the basement.

There is plenty of space
down there for me

to finish off that
McMorrow project.

- Okay, is, that still going on?

- Yeah, they like
to change their minds.

- Which explains
the big retainer.

[door handle clunks]

- Huh.
- What's up?

[grunts]
- Handle's busted.

- What do you mean, it's busted?

- Feels like it should be
tighter or something.

Anyway, I just thought you might
want to take the spare

bedroom for your office.

- Oh, we gotta keep that room
free. It's gonna make a great

nursery some day.
And one thing we definitely

don't have space for anymore
is a home theatre.

What do you wanna do
with this?

- Basement? I mean, we could
still use it for

backyard movie nights.

- I love that.

- Uh, so, the guys have all
the furniture taken care of.

Here, let me help you
with these files.

- No, no, no. No, uh,
don't do that. It's um...

Sorry, I just...

Look, I have a system and it's
uh, it's, it's kinda specific.

- Okay. Well, I'll go
see if the guys need me. Okay.

- Okay.

[papers shuffle]

[mysterious music]

- Oh! We got
our first piece of mail.

- What is it?

- Uh, it's...

Oh, we have been
invited to a party.

- Oh, wait a second.

[chuckles]

- Rick Bridges.
Is that the same--

- Uh, I mean, it has to be.

- Already rubbing shoulders
with local celebrities. Hmm.

- You know what? They probably
send those out to everybody.

- Well, it's been
addressed to us personally.

- Hmm.

- We should go.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

Come on. A chance
to meet the locals

and get some gossip.
[sighs]

- Fine, I'm in.

[laughs happily]

- It's very fancy.

- Wow, nice car.

Okay, so they're like,
big time, big time.

- I'm so glad
I wore my fancy suit.

- I'm so glad
you brought your wallet.

[indistinct chatter]

- Okay, here we go.
- Oh.

[doorbell chimes]

- Nervous faces and you
bothered to ring the doorbell.

You must be the new arrivals,
Joel and Charlotte, right?

Rick Bridges.
- Nice to meet you.

- I hope my invitation wasn't
too forward. I'm friends with

Trudie and I heard
when the place sold,

I thought I'd reach out.
Come on in. Come on.

- Wow.

[spirited chatter]

- Ah, saw you were running low
on fuel and acted on instinct.

- Oh, I guess money
can't buy you taste.

[laugh]

- I'm sorry,
I didn't catch your name.

- It's Serena. Serena Bridges.

- Serena Bridges.

- Oh, you're the co-host
and I just slandered

your white wine.
I'm, I'm Charlotte Wells.

Also known as the rudest
party guest of all time.

- No. No, no, not at all.

You know what? My husband
is surrounded by yes men,

so I miss honesty.
It's the Irish in me.

You're the new arrivals,
right? Over on Montgomery?

- You've done your homework.

- I have. You know, I have
a bottle of '58 Merlot

if you're in the mood
for some real conversation.

[giggles]

- Ah, you found each other.

- Oh, we did. Yes. Oh, hi.

Nice. I knew you'd wear
that tonight.

- It's my social signature.

- The, the watch?
It's, it's a knockout.

- Oh, well thank you,
because I sold it to him.

I work a couple of days at uh,
my friend's jewelry store

and I shifted two of these
babies in my first week.

Can we say,
employee of the month?

[chuckles]

We are going to the wine room
to have a little girl talk

so we'll see you two later.

- Do you like whiskey?

- Love it.
- Come on.

- Wow.

- Oh, I saw some
kids running around.

Are they your little ones?

- No, um, Rick and I have
some issues in that department.

- I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean to--

- No, no, please,
it's just life.

Rick is all about legacy
so he wants someone to leave all

of this stuff to. I think
that's what hurts him the most.

- And you?

- He works long hours and
aside from a couple days

at the jewelry store, I have
a lot of time on my hands.

A little one to spoil would be a
great way to spend my spare time

instead of just being
a businessman's wife.

There's a lot of
expectations to live up to.

- The lawyer's wife knows a
thing or two about that as well.

[chuckles]

- Well, if you are tired
of keeping up with the Joneses,

moving to the suburbs was a step
in the wrong direction.

- Hmm, I guess it's more about
taking time for each other,

quiet nights, home cooked meals.

In the city, Joel is just
chained to his phone,

to the office. I think the
distance could do him some good.

- Hmm. I mean, I've
never seen this room before.

- Are you uh, lost, Laurie?

- This isn't
the bathroom. Sorry, Serena.

- It's fine, Ted,
there's nothing wrong.

- Well, there's not nothing
wrong. There's a lot wrong.

Maybe not in your life,
Serena.

[clears throat]
- That's enough, Laurie.

- Safe space, Ted. Serena's
known us forever.

She doesn't mind hearing
our little problems.

- You know, I actually think
the upstairs bathroom is in use.

Why don't I show you where
the guest house bathroom is?

[laughs]
- Please.

- Guest house. Did you hear
that? Guest house?

We barely have a guest bedroom.

- It's just this way.

- Do I... Do I know you?

- She's our new neighbor,
Laurie. Just moved in across

the street. So, let's try not
to embarrass ourselves.

- Oh, that's right.
New neighbor.

- Yes.

- You guys got the murder house.

- Excuse me?
- Laurie, we are leaving. Now.

- I want to finish my drink.

- Uh, did you just say
murder house?

- Yeah. It's haunted.

- There's murder in there.

- Laurie, I think it's
about time for you to leave.

- Now.
- Thanks for coming.

- Ow!

- Pay her no mind.
- Okay.

- Come, this way.
- Okay.

- She said what?

- Murder house.
That's what she called it.

- You can't possibly
take that seriously.

- You're not
freaked out by this?

- No. No, and you
shouldn't be either.

Look, I, I know who
you're talking about.

What was her name, um, Laurie?
- Laurie.

- Yeah, look, her husband was
chasing her around all night.

She was trying to pick
a fight with everybody.

And if it wasn't
for Serena, I mean,

you would have taken the bait.

Come on. Apart from that,
you had a great night, right?

Look, don't let her
into your head.

We just gotta remember
to tell the kids

to stay away from the crazy
lady across the street.

[exhales deeply]

I've said something wrong,
haven't I?

- Oh, wow. You just dismissed
everything I said

and you redirected the
conversation once again to...

- To what?

[sighs]
- Never mind.

- No, no, no.
No, let's do this now.

To kids. I redirected the
conversation to us having kids.

- Yeah, you did.

- Yeah, and you clammed up
like you always do

whenever I mention this family
being bigger than the two of us.

Look, are, are we not on
the page about something?

Because I thought we were.

- That's not what this
conversation's about.

Look, I'm gonna go to sleep.

I still have a lot of unpacking
to do in the morning.

- Charlotte, can you--

[dark, mysterious music]

[call dials]

We need to talk.

She wasn't supposed to find out.

[doors creak open]

[sighs]

- My office supplies.

Great. Great. Okay.

[grunts softly]

[shrill music]

[panting]

Joel?

[panting continues]

- Could be a leak. Don't
we have pipes in the closet?

[grunts]

- Don't you think
it kinda looks like...

- You're gonna make
me say it, aren't you?

Blood.
[scoffs]

- I swear, the next time I see
Laurie, I'm gonna give her hell.

- Well, don't do that. We can't
antagonize our neighbors.

Not yet anyway.
[chuckles]

I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry, too.
- About last night.

- Yeah, me too.
[chuckles softly]

- Moving on?

- Moving on.

- I mean, I guess
it could be a leak.

- I promise you, it's a leak.

I mean, it's right in front of
a closet with rusty pipes and...

- Ah, yeah,
I guess you're right.

Yeah, maybe I was letting
her get into my head.

[light clicks off]

[mysterious music]

[sighs]

- Have a good day.
- Bye.

- Laurie.
- Hey.

Hi. I um, I'm...

- Laurie.

- Yeah.
- Yeah. We met last night.

- Yeah. That's um,
that's been explained to me.

We just live right over there.

Ahem, I'm um, I am really sorry

if I was rude
to you last night. I...

- No, you weren't rude
at all. Don't worry about it.

- It's just sometimes I just
shoot my mouth off.

I just...
[chuckles nervously]

I didn't say
anything dumb, did I?

- You didn't say anything wrong.

- Whew, okay. I do, you know,
I do really wanna be a good

neighbor. I would love
the chance to show you that.

- Of course.
- Okay.

- Okay.
- Thanks.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

- Okay.

[door creaks open]

[uneasy music]

[panting]

[phone ringing]

Serena? Hi.

- How are you settling in?

- Getting there,
one box at a time.

- I have a free
afternoon. Lunch?

- Sure.

- Laurie's harmless.
Actually a little sad,

if anything. She used to work
with me at the jewelry store.

- What's her story?
What happened?

- Ooh, Ted ran a crypto startup.
Big time money.

And then the market imploded and
they lost everything overnight.

Had to start all over.
Rick leased him a unit

in his building for a discount
and Laurie stood by him,

but well, talk about
a lifestyle change.

No more tropical vacations,
no more private yachts.

Members only clubs? Huh.

Then again, I had to marry
into this place

before they'd give me
my own membership.

- Still, seems like
a nice life, though.

- It's not all
it's cracked up to be.

I'm grateful, but...

well, we all cry into the same
pillow at night, don't we?

Rick and I had a uh...

...a falling out
a couple of months ago.

- Hmm.

- It's water under the bridge
now but lately,

lately I've been thinking about
adoption, given our situation.

He wasn't hearing it.

- Why?
- Oh, he has a thing about

lineage. He came around
but now he's dragging his heels

with the paperwork and meetings,
and finalizing the whole thing.

You know, if you're lucky enough
to not fight about money,

you just fight about
something else.

What do you and Joel
fight about?

- We're more
alike than I thought.

- Kids?

[inhales sharply]

Are you okay? What is it?

- Um, yeah, there is a...

a conversation I need
to have with him.

It's gonna be uncomfortable.
But the longer I put it off,

the more I worry that he'll
just think I resent him.

- Do you wanna talk about it?

- He needs to hear it first.

Um, I, I did want to talk to you
about what Laurie said

last night. What did
she mean by that?

- Uh...
- Saying we've moved

into the murder house?

[plate clatters]
- Oh!

- It's okay, it's okay.
I got it. It's okay.

[exhales nervously]

- Like I said,
Laurie is harmless.

But after a couple of drinks,
she can be kind of a mouthpiece.

It's best to just ignore her.

- But what did she mean by it?

- Charlotte, I promise,
it's not worth worrying about.

I wouldn't lie to you.

[inhales and exhales deeply]

[uneasy music]

[sighs heavily]

[exhales]

- Ugh.

[call dials]

- Hi, you've reached
Joel Wells,

please leave a message
at the tone.

[sighs]

- Oh, that's absolutely
something we can help with.

Uh, just give us a call.
Let us know.

Appreciate it. Thanks.

- Hey, Ted.
- Hey.

- I was just at the farmer's
market and I saw your place.

Pretty impressive.

- Thank you.
[chuckles]

- Do you mind if
we talk for a sec? In private?

- Absolutely, yeah. Um, Molly?

- Yeah.
- Follow me.

Go ahead.

[door shuts]

Ah. I think I know
what this is about.

Laurie can be a bit
of a loose cannon.

- Oh, it's not about that.
It's about what she said.

I guess I wanna know what she
meant about our house.

It's not true, is it?

- The woman
who lived in your home--

- Vanessa Miller. I've seen her
name on some letters.

She died.

- Yeah. About a month
ago, after an accident.

- What kind of accident?

- Oh, she slipped. Fell down
the stairs, hit her head.

Tragic, but pretty cut and dry.

- If it's cut and dry,
why did Laurie say

that we'd moved
into the murder house?

- Some people with
too much time on their hands,

they started speculating
that maybe Vanessa's death

was suspicious. Just some
Steenson Club nonsense.

- Hmm.

- Definitely didn't
help that she worked there.

- Why would that be a problem?

- A lot of wives weren't happy.

Pretty lady working that close
to their husbands.

But Vanessa, she was,
she was great.

What happened to her,
it was tragic, but an accident.

- What made the police so
sure that it was an accident?

- Nobody broke in. No one had
any reason to hurt her.

It always just seemed
like a stretch.

Oh, then when they saw my video.

- Your video?

- I gave this to the cops
the day after she died.

Actually helped close the case.

9 pm.

11 pm.

1 am.

Nothing.

I hope this gives you a little
bit of peace of mind, too.

[woman over PA]: Ted to
the store floor.

Ted to the store floor.

- I'll be back in a minute.

[dark mysterious music]

[door opens and shuts]

[mouse button clicks]

[sighs]

Well, if we can do anything
to rectify the situation,

we definitely will.
[Charlotte's phone rings]

- Hey, Joel.

- Hey, you. I just
got home. Did you call me?

- Yeah. Look, um,
there's something

I wanna talk to you
about at dinner.

- Well, about that.
You know, I was thinking that

I could cook for you. I wanted
to make you my special um...

[chuckles]

Charlotte, did you leave
the backdoor open?

- No, of course not. Why?

[grumbles under breath]

[unsettling music]

- Charlotte,
I'll have to call you back.

[grunts]

- Joel.

[groaning]

[phone ringing]

[grunts]

- Hi, you've
reached Joel Wells.

Please leave a message
at the tone.

- Joel, the phone cut off.
I'll be there in ten minutes.

Joel!
[panting]

Joel.

[loud bang in distance]

[groaning softly]

[call dials]

[footsteps approaching]

[panicked breathing]

[grunts]

[footsteps retreat]

[door shuts]

[sniffles]
Joel.

Hey, wake up.

Oh.

Oh, my gosh, yes, hi.
My husband.

- Mrs. Wells, Detective Jensen.

I've been assigned
to your husband's case.

I want you to know
that I'm very sorry

about what you're going through.

We intend to thoroughly
investigate what happened

at your house this evening.

- The woman who used to live
there, Vanessa Miller,

she, she died in the fall,
and something--

- What happened to Miss Miller
was an accident.

Now, we have had a spate
of burglaries recently,

Mrs. Wells, but I can assure
you that your neighborhood

is usually very safe.

- Burglary. You think
that's what this was?

- Your home was ransacked.
Things were turned upside down.

- Nothing was stolen.

- We think your husband may have
caught his assailant in the act,

and they fought,
his assailant ran away.

[footsteps approaching]

- But...

I didn't know who else to call.

- Of course. I'm sorry we
didn't get here sooner.

- Jensen, these people
are very good friends of ours.

What happened tonight
should not have happened.

Not in our neighborhood.

- We're gonna do our jobs, Rick.

- Yes, of course. I know,
I know. It's just,

this could have happened
to any one of us.

- I'm sorry to interrupt
but uh, Mrs. Wells,

if you'd like to see him now.

[sighs]

He's on a pretty
strong cocktail.

He'll be out all night.

- I wanna stay.

- Won't be much of a change
until tomorrow.

Don't you wanna
go home, get some rest?

- I can't leave him.

[sighs]

- He's in the best place.

Look, if anything changes,
we'll let you know, okay?

Do you have anyone
who can drive you home?

- All right, I've checked
everywhere. The coast is clear.

Are you sure you wanna
stay here tonight?

We've got the guest house.

- This is our house. I wanna
be here when Joel gets back.

- Can't persuade
you to change your mind?

- It's not a one-time offer,
all right? You start to have

second thoughts,
you give us a call. Here.

- Oh, no operation
clean up tonight.

I'm free all day tomorrow.
Just send me a text.

- Thanks, but I'll be fine.

[car doors shut]

[car rumbles away]

[unsettling music]

[sighs]

[doorbell chimes]

- I heard. I wanna talk.

So, ever since, this place
became a drain on my resources.

We lowered the asking price,
which is why you guys

got a good deal.

[sighs]
How's he doing?

- He'll be fine.

- There's been some break-ins
in other areas recently.

- Why didn't you tell
me about Vanessa Miller?

[sighs]

[dark, somber music]

Did you know her?

- A little.

Vanessa's parents died when
she was a teenager.

And after a few years of running
with a bad crowd,

she got her life back on track
and moved in with her grandma.

She was sweet.

Looked after her grandma
right up until her dying day.

Inherited the place
after she died.

It's a...

a terrible thing, what happened
to her. The accident.

- You should have told me.

It's the kind of thing you're
supposed to disclose.

- I did tell you.
I told your husband.

He made me promise
to keep it quiet.

And then last week, a neighbor
of yours shot her mouth off

at a party. And I got an angry
call from him at midnight.

What did he expect?

I don't know why he was
so insistent.

It's not like you
weren't gonna find out.

- But Joel made
you keep this quiet?

- Yes.

- I am sorry if I caused
anything. I was just trying

to do my job.

[glass clinks]

[leading music]

[panting]

[glass shatters]

[exhales sharply]

[breathing shallowly]

- You were quiet the whole way
home from the hospital.

Is everything okay?

- Yeah. I'm just
glad that you're back.

[chuckles softly]

- I'm sorry you had to deal
with the house all by yourself.

- No.

Uh, there is something
I wanted to talk to you about.

[sighs]

I don't feel like cooking.
I was gonna order in.

[chuckles]
- Sounds great.

Are you-- Is that all?

- Yeah. We should eat early

and let you get some rest.
Doctor's orders.

[dark music]

[tense music]

[breathing softly]

[exhales deeply]

[keys clacking]

[phone buzzes]

[keys clack]

[sighs]

[mouse button clicking]

- Charlotte, what are you doing?

[exhales]

- You knew her.
You knew Vanessa Miller.

- No, listen to me.
- You lied.

- What are you talking about?

- You lied to me.

About the house.

Trudie came by when
you were in the hospital

and you made her promise
not to tell me about Vanessa.

- I can explain.
- You knew who she was

and you have a file on her.
- Look, I can explain.

- Can you just give
- And now we're living

- in her house.
- give me a chance?!

Okay, yes. Yes, I had a folder
on her. But she was a client.

- Almost. I never met with her.
- What do you mean?

- She called the office,
she set up an appointment,

and Sally always makes up
a folder for potential clients

before they come in. She must
have forgotten to toss it.

- So, the file
was empty because--

- Because we never spoke.
There was nothing to put inside.

- And the folder
on your computer?

- A digital copy. And I deleted
it when she was a no-show.

- You're a personal injury
lawyer, Joel.

Why would she wanna
meet with you?

- I, I don't know,
okay. I don't know.

All I know is that she didn't
show up for her appointment

and then a couple weeks later,

I read that she died
in an accident.

- But you knew who she was
when we saw this house.

- No. No, no, no, I didn't know
that it was Vanessa Miller

that died here. It wasn't until
Trudie mentioned her name

that I made the connection.

I wish you could have
seen your face that day.

When we first saw this place,

I hadn't seen you light up
like that in ages.

I mean you, you were never
excited to see a house

until you saw this one.

And for the first time in a long
time, I felt like we were,

we were on the same
page about our futures.

And I was terrified.

I was terrified that
if you found out the truth

about this place that we would
be right back where we started.

You know, saying it out loud
I realize how selfish

that was, and I am sorry.

But I did not keep
this secret to hurt you.

I did it to protect us.

That's why I asked Trudie
not to say anything.

- I'm a hypocrite. Yeah.

I'm here jumping down your
throat for keeping secrets

when all this time I...

- You, you what?

[sighs]

Charlotte, what is it?

- Remember when I told you I was
married before?

When I was 22.

- Mm-hmm.

- Well, what I didn't tell
you is why that marriage ended.

[swallows hard]

Rob wanted to have a baby
right away.

But I was just starting
to grow the business and things

were going really well.
My dreams were coming true.

It, it wasn't the right time.
I just wasn't ready.

And he didn't want to hear it.

So, he left.

[breathes shakily]

Joel, we want the same things.

Okay, right now, I am a business
owner and a wife.

And one day I'm gonna
be a business owner, a wife,

and a mother.

But it'll happen when I'm ready.

And I worry that if I say
anything that...

[sighs heavily]

...that I'm gonna lose you too.

[tender music]

- I'm sorry if I ever
made you feel like

you couldn't talk to me
about this.

Look, I know I don't
say this often enough,

but I am so proud
of everything you've

accomplished for yourself.

And I would never want you
to turn your back on that.

Not, not for one second.

I want you to have a career.
I want you to have a family.

An incredibly
handsome husband.

[laughs]

You can have it all
because you deserve it.

It's been a couple
of rough weeks.

Why don't we just take
it one step at a time?

[sighs]
- Yeah.

[blows out breath]

I'm worried, Joel.

What if something did happen
to Vanessa?

What if that's why someone broke
into the house

and what if that's why
someone attacked you?

- Okay, that, that is a lot
of what-ifs, Charlotte.

That's why you can't listen to,
to, to Laurie,

or to anyone else, for that
matter. It's just gossip.

- Joel, you were attacked!

- By a burglar!

Yes, someone broke into
our house. They tried to rob us.

I caught him and then
he attacked me.

And they are gonna find him
before he tries it again.

So, can we please just,
just move on?

- Of course.
Yeah, we can move on.

[kisses softly]

[sighs]

[car door shuts]

[unsettling music]

[footsteps crunching on grass]

[light clicks on]

[car door shuts]

[engine starts]

[car rumbles away]

[knife clacking]

- Mm, smells good.

- Minestrone.

- Mm.

Jensen wants me to go to a
lineup tomorrow

to see if it'll jog my memory.

And then once that's over,
then we don't have to think

about what happened here
or who lived here

or what silly people across the
street say to amuse themselves.

It'll be finished.

- Yeah. Finished.

Uh, do you need me to go
with you for the lineup?

- Mm-mm. I gotta do this myself.

But it's over, Charlotte.
We can finally be free of this.

[kisses softly]

[pencil scratches on paper]

[paper crinkles]

[mouse button clicks]

[video clicks off]

[door clunks open]

[projector whirring softly]

- Oh, my God.

[projector powers down]

Batteries.

[box clunking]

[hand rasps on wall]

[gasps]

[panting]

[uneasy music]

[pencil scratches on paper]

[pants]

[breathes shakily]

[screams]

[tranquil music]

[indistinct chattering]

- Hey. Rick just introduced
me to his friend, uh Andy,

who's also a personal injury
guy. His wife is great.

I want you to meet them.

- Uh, yeah, I'll,
I'll be over in just a sec.

- Okay.

- Oh, going for
a gold in people watching?

[chuckles]

The caterers made
a barbecue chicken salad,

which sounds delicious
but could go either way.

Do you wanna grab a bite?

- I'm not really hungry.

- Is everything okay?

- Can we talk inside?

- Of course.

- No, she's great. I think
you guys are gonna get along.

[sighs]

[chuckles]

- There's a picture too.

- So, what are you gonna
do now, go to the police?

- I can't.

- What? But
the etching on the wall.

- I-- If what happened to Joel
is connected in some way

to Vanessa, I don't want
him to get hurt again.

- Right. Yeah, but shouldn't
you at least show this to them?

- I don't know who that message
is about.

I don't know when she wrote it.
If she wrote it.

Until we know more,
we can't go to the police.

We get one shot.
If what we have is flimsy,

they won't take us seriously.

They could permanently write us
off. Crazy, bored housewives.

- Okay. Um, okay, let's just
take this one thing at a time.

The video means Ted lied.
He doctored the footage.

Does that necessarily make him
a murderer? No.

Could there be another reason?

- I mean, Ted is hiding
something.

Enough to make him
edit the video.

I think I know where
the whole video might be.

[inhales sharply]
But I would need your help.

You're sure this
key is going to work?

- Rick owns the building. It's
the master key to every unit.

- Who owns a building?

- He needed
it for a tax write off.

- What?

[lock clunks]

[door clatters]

[sighs]

- Okay. This is
starting to feel wrong.

- Right. Let's think about
what's at stake here.

He lied about the night that
Vanessa died.

We have to see that video.

[exhales nervously]

[door creaks open]

- Okay. I will be as quick
as I can. You're a good friend.

Okay.

[blows out breath]

[mouse button clicking]

[tense music]

[whispering]: One month ago.

[loud bang in distance]

- I hear something.

- Okay, just one second.
[indistinct voices approaching]

- Charlotte, I think it's Ted.

[gasps]
It is Ted!

- What?
- We have to go! Charlotte!

- Okay, okay, okay.

- We have to hide.

- Hurry.

[Ted]: So, I think we just
keep calm and see what happens.

[lock clunks]

[door clatters]

Follow me this way
and we can check those files.

[giggling]

[kissing]

- One of these nights
we are gonna get caught.

- I turn off all
the cameras before we closed.

- Or maybe
you want us to get caught.

You okay?

- Yeah. I'm great.

Come on.

[door creaks open]

- Let's get outta
here while they're busy.

[somber music]

[door opens]

[sighs]

- I tried calling.

- I am so sorry.

I completely forgot you
were doing this tonight.

- Where were you?

- I was with Serena.

Yeah, we went shopping
and I lost track of time.

- And you didn't buy anything?

- No. We were just browsing.

- So, this
really was for nothing.

[sighs]
- Joel...

- Everything's on the stove.
You may need to reheat it.

I'm going for a run.

- Hey...

[exhales]

[food sizzles]

[gas clicks off]

[thump from upstairs]

[ominous music]

[loud thump]

What. Hello?

[panting]

[footsteps thudding on steps]

Hello? Joel? Hello?

[gas hissing]

Joel?!

[banging on door]

Joel!

Joel?

[banging continues]

[door shuts]

[banging continues]

- Charlotte?
- Joel?

- Charlotte?
- Joel!

- Ugh! Charlotte!

- Joel!

[dials click off]
- Charlotte!

- Joel! Open the door!

[door clunking]

- Charlotte, what,
what happened?

Did you go downstairs
with the stove on?

- What? No! The, the door, I--

- The dials were
turned on. Were you cooking?

- No, I turned them off.

- You know... what
is happening with you?

[breathing nervously]

[heavy sigh]

- So, Ted lied to the police
and he's having an affair.

He lived right across
the street. One scenario is that

Vanessa found out
he was having an affair.

- Maybe.

I don't know what
to think anymore.

- Well, at the risk of sounding
like every neighbor

in a true crime documentary,

I just don't think Ted's
the violent type.

Is it possible
there's another reason?

- For lying to the cops about
the death of a neighbor?

Falsifying evidence?

- Yeah. We're going
to the police now, right?

I mean, we have enough
to at least make

them start asking questions.

- Questions? Oh, hey, Charlotte.
Didn't hear you come in.

I'm actually heading out
to play tennis with Joel.

What are you girls
talking about?

- Oh, just gossip.

- Ooh. Anyone I know?

- No one you like.

- Sweetie, I like everyone.
[giggles]

I'm gonna head to the club after
the game, okay?

- No problem.

- Bye.

[door shuts]

Thanks. I know
we can trust him but--

- Anything we say would have
gotten back to Joel. I get it.

- If he finds out that
I haven't let this go,

it could really hurt him.
Worse than I already have.

- What do you mean?

- Last night
I missed our dinner date.

- Oh, Charlotte. Oh.

- It's not just that.
Last night I... I...

[sighs]
I got trapped in the basement.

- What do you mean, trapped?

- The stove was
on. The gas was leaking.

- Charlotte. You don't,
you don't think that Ted--

- No, no, scariest part is
I don't know.

Maybe I just wasn't paying
attention,

but I have to get
to the bottom of this. And soon.

It is taking over my life.
I can't focus.

I can barely sleep. I can't even
enjoy this beautiful home

that Joel and I moved into.
[sighs]

In order for us to start this
next chapter of our life,

we have to put this behind us.

- You will.

- Joel thinks that I'm not
making him a priority.

He is the priority.

- I know. I know you love him.

You're just trying
to protect him.

- I am. Aren't I?

That's it.
That's why Ted did it.

- I'm not following.

- I think you're right.
I don't think Ted is a killer.

But I need to hear
the truth from him.

- What, you're gonna go see him?

No, Charlotte, just think
about this for a second.

Think about everything we
already know.

Are you sure you wanna
just walk up to Ted

and talk to him about this?

- Yeah. I am.

Thank you.

- Yeah.

- Thank you.
- Just be careful, please.

- Thank you, thank you.

Thank you, thank you.

- Okay.

[doorbell chimes]

[door opens]

- Hey, Charlotte.
I was just headed out.

How the hell did you get this?

I should call the police.
- Do it.

And while you're at it,
why don't you let them know

why you falsified the evidence
you gave them.

- Huh.

- Believe it or not,
I'm not here to fight,

but we do need to talk.

[exhales]

I know packages arrive fast
these days, but not that fast.

[sighs]

- I thought I'd been
more careful.

Should've watched
the whole thing through.

Look, this isn't what it looks
like Charlotte, I promise.

- I believe you.

I know I haven't known you long,
Ted, but I don't think

you're a violent man.

The night that Vanessa died,
Molly was here, wasn't she?

[exhales]

The two of you were together.

She's on that footage.

And if you gave
it to the police,

it would ruin your marriage,
so you manipulated it.

[sighs heavily]
Someone broke into our home.

My husband was attacked.
And I think something happened

in that house, but I can't get
to the bottom of it unless

you tell me the truth.

Please, Ted, I have to make
sure that Joel and I are safe.

[dark music]

[sighing]

[vehicle approaches]

[van speeds by]

[car door shuts]

- The night it happened,
Laurie was out of town

and I went over to Molly's.

It was a stupid thing to,
altering the footage,

but I am not sorry I did it.

I had to protect Laurie
and I was not about

to embarrass Molly.

- How long?

- Little over a year.

Look, I love Laurie.
I really do.

But things just...

Things are really tough these
last few years.

Losing the company,
starting again.

Molly and I just found
comfort in each other.

- I know it can't be easy.

And I know you're
not asking but...

...I don't think the solution
to your problems

is having an affair.

[exhales]

- Here.

It's the whole thing. Take it.

I lied to the police but
I didn't kill Vanessa.

You'll see.

- Okay, well, I gotta head back.

I have to keep unpacking.
But thank you, Ted.

[footsteps receding]

[doors clatter open]

[unsettling music]

[envelope crinkles]

[exhales nervously]

[Joe]: Charlotte? Charlotte,
where are you?

[doors shut]

[envelope crinkles]

[breathing nervously]

[tense music]

[mouse button clicks]

[suspenseful music]

- Rick's SUV.

Rick's watch. It's Rick!

[exhales]

Steenson.

Who are you?

[laptop clicks]

[call dials]

[phone buzzes]

- Charlotte. Oh,
thank God. Did you talk to Ted?

- Serena, where are you?

- I'm still at work. Why?

- Where's Rick?

- He's at work,
too. What's going on?

[exhales]

- I need to talk to you but
I have to head over

to the Steenson Club now.

Can we meet,
uh tonight, maybe?

- Did something happen with Ted?

- I might have something
but I need to make sure first.

Uh, I promise I will tell you
everything later, okay?

[sighs]

Serena, thanks for
always believing in me.

[call beeps off]

[exhales sharply]

[ominous music]

[car rumbles away]

[exhales]

[sighs heavily]

[footsteps approaching]

- Never thought
I'd be back here.

Vanessa was my best friend.

This house was Vanessa's
pride and joy.

She thought she'd live here
for the rest of her life.

- You were here a few days ago.

You tried to get your
evidence back, didn't you?

I wanna find out what really
happened to her.

She deserves for the truth
to come out.

- How do I know that I could
trust you?

I know you're friends with him,

with Rick. And his wife.

- And look, I do,
I care for Serena.

And she could get hurt if we're
not careful.

She doesn't deserve that.

But she does deserve
to know the truth.

[sighs]

- Rick has a reputation
at the club.

He wouldn't stop
making passes at Vanessa.

She tried to put a stop
to it but...

they just told her
to put up with it.

That he was too
valued of a member.

[tense music]

One night, Rick wouldn't leave.

He tried to make a,
another dumb pass, but...

...this time,
things went really bad.

She shut him down.

He got violent.

You know--
[clicks tonque]

You know they blamed her
for being alone with him

in the first place?

[sighs]
Vanessa couldn't deal

with it anymore so she quit.
But she told me

she wanted to take Rick down,
once and for all.

So, she had me take
photos of her.

We kept them safe in the shed
so nobody could destroy them.

Vanessa didn't die
by accident. She didn't slip

and fall in her basement.

- Why didn't
she go to the police?

- Rick could talk
his way out of anything.

- But the evidence was--

- Was what she wanted to
show the lawyer. Your husband.

[exhales]
- Hmm.

- I guess she got scared.

Missed the appointment.

Maybe if she would have gone.

[inhales]

- We're going to get
justice for Vanessa.

I have to tell my husband.
You can trust him.

He'll wanna help.

But I need you
to trust me. Okay?

Vanessa was really lucky
to have you.

[call dials]

- Hi, you've reached
Joel Wells.

Please leave a message
at the tone.

[call clicks off]

[ominous beat]

[floorboard creaks]

[gasps]

- I know you know. You can't
do this. You can't ruin me.

- You hurt Vanessa.
I know you did.

She told you she wasn't
interested for months

and you wouldn't let up.

She was a little too brave
for you. That night at the club,

you assaulted her.
I saw the pictures.

- That was a mistake.

It could have been
a very expensive mistake

but Vanessa wouldn't
take my money.

- You tried to buy her off.

- My reputation is my currency.
If this had gone out,

I'd be finished. My marriage,
my career, all over.

But Vanessa,
she was just so...

[exhales]
...determined.

- Hmm.

Barbecues, the parties,
the friendship,

you were just prying,
trying to get close to Joel.

- Had to find
out how much he knew.

- He knew nothing.

You broke into the house
that day. And you attacked Joel.

- I just needed the file,
that's it, but it was empty.

No one was supposed to get hurt.
I was supposed

to be gone before Joel got home.
Charlotte--

Charlotte...

We could work
something out, okay?

[laughs incredulously]
- Work this out?

You're never gonna
bargain with me

over Vanessa's life.
- Just listen to me.

- No. You had everything, Rick,
including a wife who loves you.

- Do not talk about my wife.

- And you've thrown it all away.

- I said don't
talk about my wife.

- Yeah, you're pathetic! Wah!

[footsteps thud on stairs]

[grunts angrily]

[panicked breathing]

[grunting]

[breathing heavily]

[button clicks]

[breathing rapidly]

[door clunks]

Let me outta here.

Let me out! Somebody,
please! Please, help me!

[pounding on glass]

[door opens]

- Charlotte, I'm back.

[huffs]

Look, about the other
day. I'm sorry. I just...

I just needed
some time to think.

[thumb taps on screen]

[call dials]

[Charlotte's phone ringing]

Charlotte?

[banging on glass]

- Somebody, please!

Somebody, help!
- Charlotte.

- what are you doing in there?
- Serena.

I need you to let me out, okay?

- What is going on?
- There's something that

you need to know.
It's about Rick.

He killed Vanessa.

[scoffs]
- What? No.

- I, I'm sorry, but it's true.

He harassed her at the club
and she tried to stop it.

And then things went bad.
He attacked her

and then she threatened to tell,
and then he...

...he killed her.

- What are you saying? No.

- He...
- What are you doing?

- He was at the house that
night. His car is there

on Ted's footage
and there's pictures, too.

I can explain everything
but please, please,

I need you to let me out, okay?

- Yeah. Okay.

- Okay.

[sighs]

[door opens and shuts]

[footsteps retreat]

No.

Serena, no.

You already knew.

[phone ringing]

- Oh.

[tense music]

[breathing nervously]

Rick.

- What the hell is
she doing back here?

- I just wanted to talk to her.
See what we could work out and

I don't know, things got
outta hand. I panicked.

- Serena, please don't tell
me this whole time you knew?

- My husband is not a perfect
man. Nobody is.

But I took a vow.

So, it's my job to protect him,
to protect us, no matter what.

- Your husband is a murderer.

- I didn't murder
anybody. Stop saying that.

- I have footage from the night
Vanessa died and your car

was at the house.

- What? I wasn't at her
house that night.

I was trying to get her
to keep quiet but I didn't s--

[sinister beat]

Serena?
[sniffles]

Sweetie?

[exhales shakily]

- You and that video.

[breathes nervously]

- You didn't do it, right?

Tell me you didn't kill her.

- I'm protecting everything
that we've built. Our future.

- Oh, my God!

- You've always been
so desperate for the truth.

All right, fine, here it is.

Yes, I drove to Vanessa's
house that night.

But under the,
the dumb assumption

that we could talk privately.

[pounding on door]

She, she just kept ignoring
me. She was so stubborn.

And then I went around
to the back door.

I slammed into that door so
hard that I almost broke it.

[pounding continues]

But when she finally
opened it...

- You could've talked me.
We could've found another way.

- Will you just shut up
and listen? For once!

We're so close, Rick.

So close to the family
we've been dreaming of.

The adoption, our child.
All of that would be taken away

if she told people
what happened.

I didn't go there to hurt her!
[sniffles]

Things just, they just
got outta hand. She...

She started to scream and then
she ran and I...

I don't know, this,

this rage just took over me.

I didn't even realize
what happened.

I, I didn't know
what I'd done

'til I saw the
blood on the fire poker.

[screams]

- Serena, no.

- I moved her body to
make it look like an accident.

And it worked.

Nobody asked any questions.
And we could move on.

- We could've said she

swung first, self defense.
- Oh, my gosh.

- I would've gotten
you a good lawyer.

- Oh yeah, very easy
for you to say.

You make the messes,
I clean them up.

That's the routine.
- Oh, come on,

it's not like that.
- Of course it is.

If you'd just stayed
away from her

in the first place, I wouldn't
have had to kill her.

But I did.

And now I have to do it again.

- No. No. No, Serena,
it is too risky.

- Do you have a better idea?

Oh, Rick told me what happened
when he went to get the file.

You were never gonna stop going
down the rabbit hole.

I tried it the kind way,
leaving the gas on.

- No, you..

- Family. That's what's
at stake here.

And when you think about
it, nothing's too far, right?

[tense music building]

- No. No, no...

No, you can't do this.
You can't do this.

[car speeds to stop]

[tense music]

Serena, you can't do this.

[alarm blaring]

[gasps]

- I'll take care of this.

[keypad beeping]

- Serena, please,
please, please,

you don't have to do this.

- I wish I didn't,

but these are our sacrifices
as women, as wives.

- You're wrong.
You're not thinking straight.

- But I am. Behind every family
there's a strong man

and an even stronger woman.

I couldn't let Vanessa
destroy our future,

and I'm sorry, Charlotte,
but I can't let you either.

- You want a family.
I understand.

[tuts]
- Yeah, right.

Ever since we got married,

he just couldn't help himself.

He's always looking at this girl
or flirting with that one.

He needs to get his priorities
straight.

And that's what our baby's
gonna give him.

He'll look in our baby's face

and he'll see
what really matters.

- A child isn't going
to change Rick.

He's not gonna
be faithful to you.

- You don't know that.

I need to give him this chance.

[door crashes open]

- Joel!

- Charlotte.
[hand pounds on glass]

Hey!

[grunts]

- Come here.

[grunting]

- Joel, watch out!

[grunts]
- Ugh!

[panicked breathing]

[clanging]

[grunting]

[glass shattering]

[grunting]

- No, no, no.

[gasping]

[gasping]

[wine bottle smashes]

[breathing raggedly]

Joel.

- Hey, hey,
hey. Hey, are you okay?

- I'm okay.

- Charlotte, I'm
sorry I didn't believe you.

- It's okay.

[police radio chatter]

[sorrowful music]

[car door opens]

- Thank you, Charlotte.

[car door shuts]

[grunts softly]

- Hmm.

- Hey, hey, hey,
hey. Do you want some help?

- Yes. Thank you.
- Here.

Oh.

- Wow, where
did you get this tan?

- Oh, uh Ted and I went to the
beach last weekend.

[giggles]

- You beat me
to it, Laurie. Here.

- Oh, here you go.
- I'll take that, thank you.

- Uh, so are we still
on for brunch Saturday?

- Sure, uh, as long as
I haven't popped by then.

- Okay. See ya later, Char.

- Bye.

- You know online
shopping gets rave reviews?

- I need to stay active.

Pregnancy is a state of health,
not sickness.

- Did you hear about the news?

- Yeah, I just read it.

It's sad, Joel, but...

Vanessa finally gets her peace.

- Us too.

[chuckles]

- Mwah.

- We're celebrating this
weekend. Anywhere you wanna go.

- Oh. Anywhere I wanna go.
- Mm-hmm.

- Okay, well, I'd like to go
on a really long drive

and see a sunset.

- Oh, that's lovely.

Hey, you think it's too early
to start for another one?

- What? Can we wait for this one
to make its way out first?
