[OUT OF BREATH]

Please!

Please!

Please don't hurt me!

Please!

Please don't do this!

Please!

Ahh!!!!!

What are you doing?

Cut!

All right, that's a cut!

Sorry!

Reset!

What are you doing?

Well, ripping my shirt off wasn't in the script.

Well as of ten minutes ago, it was.

Somebody should have told me!

Well, just, the scene needs more provocative visuals, okay?

Like, like flashing?

Exactly.

Okay, now that you understand,

let's get back to work everybody!

What if I'm not comfortable with that?

Get comfortable or get fired.

Your choice.

Reset people.

Reset.

I can't do it.

Then you're fired.

You're fired.

Get out!

Somebody call casting right now!

Get me somebody that can act!

Maybe a stripper?

There you go.

And I was really counting on that job to cover my rent.

I'm totally broke.

My credit cards are all maxed out.

Okay, okay, I'll lend you money.

Really?

You are the best!

I know.

This is on one condition.

Anything.

I want your credit card until you can pay me back.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Oh.

Hold on.

Oh, it's my agent.

That can't be good.

I'll be right back.

Hello?

Dana.

Wallace River here.

Mr. River, I'm so thankful you took me on as a new client

and I am so sorry about the screw-up today

but when I accepted that job,

they didn't say anything about nudity.

Well, first of all, call me Wallace

and don't worry about that director.

He's a hack.

I got a great part for you; very, very interesting role.

Really?

That's great!

Can you meet with these people involved tomorrow afternoon?

Absolutely!

Okay, great.

What do you say I pick you up 1:00 sharp?

Great!

Thank you!

Okay, I'll see you then.

That was my agent!

I think he got me another acting job!

Must be karma.

If you don't get your sorry ass to work,

I'm gonna show you karma.

It's called the unemployment line.

Okay, Sal.

Am I talking to myself?

Movie it, ladies!

Hey man, how's it going?

Hey, what can I get ya?

I'm feeling very confident that this role is yours.

Of all the pictures and resumes they saw,

they picked you.

And it's a paying gig, right?

Well, it's a very well paying gig.

This is gonna be a big break for you, Dana.

I really appreciate this.

And I promise, I'm not gonna let you down.

I know you won't.

Okay, well, here we are.

Wow, what a place.

It's beautiful.

It sure is.

Hello.

Hi, nice to see you again, Wallace.

Nice to see you.

And you must be Dana.

Yes.

Hi.

Nice to meet you.

K, come on in.

How was the drive from the city?

Wonderful.

I really appreciate you taking the job, Dana.

It's--

Yes, your flight is confirmed

and we look forward to meeting you.

Sorry.

All right.

Safe journeys.

K, this is my husband, Mark.

And this is the very talented, Dana Tilly.

Pleasure.

Hi, nice to meet you.

Good to see you again.

Hi, Wallace.

Your home is stunning.

Thank you.

We designed it ourselves.

Oh wow!

I would love to live in a place like this some day.

Yeah, it's not always this glamorous.

Somebody had to unplug a sink this morning.

Okay, all right.

Anyway, please have a seat.

We are really very happy

that you're doing this for us, Dana.

It's very important to us.

What exactly will I be doing?

Oh, Wallace hasn't told you, has he?

Guilty as charged.

Oh.

All I know is that I'm perfect for the role

and that the pay is great.

Yeah, well I think you are.

So, why don't you get us some drinks

and then I will explain.

Will do.

So, we need an actress who looks like me to double as me

for a very, very important...

So, uh, let me get this straight.

You want me to pretend to be you

for a meeting on October 12th.

Yeah.

Won't anybody notice?

Thanks.

Uh, no.

Uh, we've actually never met these investors in person.

So, but I have to be at another meeting in Chicago

at the same time.

Lisa and I are business partners.

She has to be here if we want them to invest

in our development and since we haven't figured out cloning...

We will pay you $10,000.

$10,000?

Are you serious?

We are.

How can I say no?

You can't!

You do realize I've never impersonated anybody before.

Well, it's all about acting, right?

And after all, you are an actress, right?

She's a great actress.

And it's why I'm her new agent.

And it's why I believe in her.

Well I'm sure you'll be just fine.

And I will be sure to get you a copy of our infomercial

so you can watch my mannerisms and hear my voice and--

What about wardrobe?

You can check out my closet.

After all, we are the same size.

One last thing: you gotta be quiet about this.

Not a word to anyone.

Of course.

Okay.

All right.

Where do I sign?

Right on the line, sweetie.

There you go.

Okay.

Big night!

All right, your share of the tips comes to 26 big ones!

Wow.

Twenty-six bucks.

Right?

Yeah.

Speakin' of money, ten g's from your new job.

It's a lot of money.

What are you gonna do with it?

Well, I'm gonna pay off some debts to start.

Mhmm.

Pay back my friends first.

Thank you.

Don't you think it's a little weird?

I mean, some rich couple paying you

to pretend to be the wife?

Shh!

I said I wouldn't tell anyone!

Well, you know the saying.

When it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Can't you just be happy for me?

You're right.

Yes.

I can.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

I know you're just jealous.

A little bit.

Placer Park offers precisely what you have come to expect

in a home.

Thirty-three stories of soaring, panoramic views,

first class amenities and uncompromised living.

That's right, Lisa.

Each Place Park home--

Now you can live the dream of a luxury, family home

in a safe community

with a wide range of family oriented amenities.

Now you can live he dream of a luxury, family home

in a safe community.

Placer Park is truly the opportunity of a lifetime.

Placer Park is truly the opportunity of a lifetime.

Placer Park is truly the opportunity of a lifetime.

You can dream of a luxury, family home.

Here we go.

Thank you so much for bringing me.

I really appreciate it.

Of course.

Besides, I have a vested interest in you

since you owe me money.

I know.

I haven't forgotten.

Wish me luck.

Break a leg!

Dana!

You forgot your purse!

Oh!

Silly.

Thank you so much!

I guess I'm a little freaked out.

I hope I can pull this off.

You'll be fine.

Besides, you have to be a better actress

than you are a waitress.

Haha, very funny.

Get in there and go kill it.

You know what?

I don't think I could do this.

No, you know what?

No, you'll be fine.

I can't do this.

I need to go home.

I need to go home now.

Okay.

All right.

I'll get you home.

Gotcha!

I guess I am a better actress than I am a waitress.

You better get in there before I do something I'll regret.

All right, I'll call you when I need the ride.

Bye!

Bye.

Mark!

Hi!

I was starting to worry you weren't gonna show.

Oh no, I'm here.

You look great!

Thank you.

You ready to earn your money?

I'm ready.

The guests are gonna be here any moment.

Okay.

Let's go over the plan one more time.

In phase one, detached units---

Thank you for joining us.

Enjoy yourselves.

Enjoy yourselves.

Fred, you're gonna come into the presentation, right?

Don't miss it.

Mr. Thomas.

Mr. Mura.

This is an unexpected visit.

Yes, it is unexpected.

I had some other business in America

but I wanted to make time to see you.

Fantastic.

You remember my wife, Lisa.

Yes, of course.

So you are even more beautiful than your videos.

Thank you.

Thank you for saying so.

And please, call me Lisa.

Don't let her looks fool you.

She is as gifted with business sense

as she is with beauty.

I'm sure that's true.

Perhaps your wife would be so kind enough as to entertain us.

Of course.

Should I go to the bar for a drink?

Please.

I'm sure you can spare a few moments of your wife's time.

I'd like to get her personal insight into,

you did say that she is gifted with business sense.

Certainly.

It, it would be my pleasure, Mr. Mura.

Go get 'em, Lis.

Um, please refresh my memory.

Was it last April or was it May that we met in Paris?

Um, if my memory serves me, it was May.

Yes, you're absolutely right.

Dinner at Maison de la Rose.

The evening was spectacular.

Oh.

But enough with the small talk.

You know, when I heard that Mark was presenting another venture,

I and my associates felt compelled to visit.

Well, you made the right decision, Mr. Mura.

It is absolutely a great investment.

The fallen property values has made California

a very attractive opportunity for those with a vision.

So true.

You know, two years ago I invested

in one of your husband's ventures.

He persuaded that in crisis, there is opportunity.

Unfortunately, I'm still awaiting my return.

Now, this new venture; what actually does it involve?

Willow Acres.

Hi.

Lisa, can I have a couple of moments with Mr. Mura?

No problem.

Um, this is causing unnecessary attention.

Can we please have a private moment?

As you wish.

Make sure no one disturbs us.

Mr. Mura, this is awkward.

Enough excuses.

My associates and I are concerned.

Where is our money?

Give me another 30 days.

You'll have your money.

I promise.

Same hollow promises we've heard before.

I'm on to something big.

Huge.

You gotta trust me on this.

Trust you?

And should I trust your wife as well?

Of course.

I trust her with my life.

Perhaps you'll have a chance to prove if that is true.

Your wife.

Where is she?

We just left her in the other room.

You wanna talk to her again?

Not the impostor.

Your wife.

I asked, was it April or was it May that we had met in Paris.

Of course she had no idea that we had never met in Paris.

Let me explain.

The only thing that concerns me is the money

you owe my associates and I.

Give me another thirty days.

I'll get you your 2 million, plus another 250,000.

500,000 and you have 30 days.

Done.

Lisa.

There you are.

Hi.

Your husband is a very smart man, Mrs. Thomas.

Now he understands that investors

need to be taken care of.

You will not be disappointed, Mr. Mura.

My husband has made a lot of money

for a lot of different investors.

Everyone will do well in this development.

Everyone.

I look forward to that.

Once my investment from our last venture has been recouped.

I assure you, again,

that all the loose ends will be tied up shortly.

Good.

Then we understand each other.

Well, you've been a very gracious host.

And you are very fortunate to have such a wonderful wife.

Oh, it was my pleasure, Mr. Mura.

Now, I guess it's time for us to leave.

But my associates and I will be keeping a close eye

on this venture.

Great.

Gentlemen.

Well, should we turn to the other guests?

We still have work to do.

Sure.

If you would all like to join us downstairs

for the presentation?

Right this way, please.

All right, I think we did it.

Dana, you were amazing.

Really?

You think so?

You're not just saying that?

No, no, no, no.

You were perfect!

Perfect.

Hey, you know,

I couldn't help but notice you arguing with Mr. Mura.

It was nothing.

We just lost some of their money

on another real estate deal.

That's why they wanted to be here in person.

Anyway, it's all cleared up.

A little bit of bad blood but business is business

and they're gonna be fine when they make a fortune

on this deal.

You were great.

Oscar worthy.

Aww.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Hey.

(Lisa): Hey, honey.

So, how'd it go?

It went great.

Excellent.

Excellent.

So it's done?

Yep.

It wasn't easy, but everything's taken care of.

Good.

You?

Well, Mr. Mura showed up.

You're kidding.

No, no, everything was fine.

They're on board.

Everything went okay with the girl?

She was a superstar.

I'm glad to hear it.

All right, when are you coming home?

I'll be leaving here soon.

Fantastic.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Double-header.

Wow.

Uh, let me tidy things up here

and then I can give you a lift home.

Oh, my friend texted and she's outside.

I had her pick me up.

Your friend?

Yeah.

You didn't say anything to her, did you?

Nothing!

Oh, I didn't tell her anything.

Okay, well, thanks again.

Yeah, I should probably get going.

All right.

I'll see you out.

You are very talented and thank you.

Thank you.

Okay, I'll send the cheque to your agent.

Great.

Sounds great.

Thanks so much.

Bye!

Hey, so, how'd it go?

Good.

I was a little nervous.

It's kinda creepy playing a guy's wife.

Hey, if someone offered me ten grand to play their wife,

creepy or not, I'm in.

Found a shortcut on the way home.

We'll take the scenic route.

Sounds good.

What is this?

What's he doing?

Why is he following so close?

What are you crazy?

Oh my god!

Oh my god!

He's gonna run me off the road!

Oh my god!

Stop!

You're gonna kill somebody!

What is this guys doing?

Is he drunk?

Oh my god!

What do we do?

He's leaving.

No, no, no, who are you calling?

The cops.

No, don't call, don't call the cops.

Oh my god.

You sure?

Yeah.

Just, it'll take them forever to get out here.

You know what?

Let's just get out of here

before that idiot comes back.

Let's just go.

You're reached Wallace River.

Please leave me a message.

Mr. Rivers, Wallace, it's Dana.

I've called you the past couple days a few times,

but I haven't heard back from you.

Um, I was, I wouldn't be pestering you so much

if I didn't really need the money.

But it's the end of the month and all and my rent's due

so if you could just give me a call back,

I would really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Bye.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Hello?

Landlord.

Uh, I'm not decent!

Just warning ya.

If you're late with the rent again this month,

you're out.

Okay. I understand.

You've reached Wallace River.

Please leave me a message.

Hey.

Hey.

This is really embarrassing,

but can I borrow twenty bucks?

Seriously?

What happened to the money form your acting gig?

I can't get a hold of my agent and he has the money.

It's been three days now.

Well did you go down to his office?

No, not yet.

But I really, really need the money and my rent's due.

You, your shift is done.

You, get on the floor.

You are such a brat.

It's the last time.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Bye.

You've reached Wallace Rivers.

Please leave me a message.

Oh, great.

Look out!

You okay?

Yeah, I think so.

I got a code 5 coming out of Sal's parking lot

south on Frau heading east.

Dark Sedan, tinted windows;

I didn't get a read on the license.

Roger that.

We'll alert local units.

That's twice in a week.

I'm Detective Rob Billings.

Detective?

Wow, you're fast.

Right time, right place.

What can I say?

You sure you're okay?

Yeah, I'm fine thanks to you.

Okay, I need your name and number.

Here's my card.

You know, just for the record.

Dana Tilly.

Uh, 555-869-2585.

Thanks.

Thank you.

I gotta get to work.

Okay.

You sure you're okay?

Yeah, fine.

Thank you.

All right.

Thanks.

Hey.

Hey.

Okay, spill the beans.

Who's the hunk?

He's a cop.

Yeah, right.

No, he just saved me from almost being run over.

And you want me to believe this story?

Are you still coming over for movies tonight?

Yes.

But don't change the subject.

C'mon.

Man, that's unbelievable.

What a scam.

Tell me about it.

My agent is nowhere to be found.

And things were starting to go so well.

All right.

Well don't worry so much.

I mean, it's probably all gonna work out.

I hope so.

Thanks for listening to me.

That's what friends do.

We stick together, right?

You wanna, you wanna spend the night?

You can sleep in my room and I'll sleep out on the couch.

Oh, sweet.

I get the bed?

Deal.

Um, so what's up with the hot cop?

What do you mean?

Oh, come on.

There isn't a little something something there?

No.

It's nothing.

Oh god, I am so tired.

You like him.

We should go to bed.

Sounds good.

[SCREAMS] Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isabelle!

Somebody help!

[FIGHTING GRUNTS]

You okay?

Yeah.

Your friend, Isabelle, is alive.

She's gonna be okay.

She just lost a lot of blood.

But she's gonna be all right.

She came over to keep me company

because I had a bad day.

Guys, hang on.

Listen, if you're up to it, I want you to take a look

at the attacker, see if you recognize him.

Can you do that?

Are you up to it?

Take a deep breath.

Oh my god!

That's, that's my agent, Wallace!

Okay, guys.

Okay, I'll take you back to your apartment.

Okay?

Thank you.

You probably won't be surprised to find out that this guy

is not Wallace River at all.

Who is he?

David McWilliams: two-time felon.

Charges for assault and bank robbery.

And the office address he gave you doesn't exist.

This guy is a career criminal to the core.

Great.

My first agent is a sociopath.

How did you meet this guy?

He ran an ad in the newspaper.

He was looking for actresses

so I sent him my headshot and my resume.

He got me a couple jobs.

He got me a low budget horror film.

He got me the Thomas gig.

And what is the Thomas gig?

I was, um, paid to impersonate

this rich woman named Lisa Thomas

at a business function on October 12th.

And what do you mean impersonate?

She had a business meeting in Chicago

and she had a business function here in town

so she couldn't be in two places at the same time.

So they hired me to pretend to be her.

And how much did they pay you for this?

$10,000

Wow.

They had to have planned to scam you.

I mean no one pays $10,000

to someone new in the business.

No offense.

I mean, McWilliams probably figured

that he'd hit the jackpot with your thing and he got greedy.

Did you get your money?

No.

Wallace or David McWilliams, he had everything.

He had the money and the contract.

Everything.

Well my guess is that he was scamming actors

looking for a break.

Look, I'll talk to the Thomas' and see what I can dig up.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I just, I really wanna get to the hospital

and see my friend.

I understand.

Look, we're done here.

CSI will clean up.

And if you need a ride, I'll give you a lift.

Great.

Let me just change.

Okay, I'll wait for you outside.

Okay.

I'm sorry about your friend.

It's my fault.

If I had never met Wallace,

this would have never happened.

It's not your fault.

She's gonna be okay.

Don't beat yourself up over it.

How'd you get into acting?

I've wanted to be an actor ever since I can remember.

I'm from a small town in Pennsylvania.

I used to go to the movies every single Sunday.

I told myself as soon as I could,

I would leave that town and I'd try to become a star.

It sounds cheesy,

but it's always been my dream to be an actor.

Well here you are.

You're pursuing it.

Which is a more than a lot of people can say.

Yeah and look how good I'm doing.

On my first, low-budget film, I get fired

and then I almost get my best friend killed.

Hi, I'm here for Isabelle Johnson.

She's in the OR.

You're welcome to wait.

Okay.

They said she's in surgery.

I'm gonna wait.

Okay.

Is there anything I can do?

No, I'm fine.

Thank you so much for your help, Detective Billings.

Sure.

Call me Ron.

I'm so sorry.

I'm here for you.

It's gonna be okay.

We appreciate you taking the time to speak with us.

Um, what is this about, Detective?

Do you know someone by the name of David McWilliams?

It doesn't ring a bell.

Honey?

Nope.

But we know a lot of people.

So I can get my secretary to check our logs.

How about Wallace River?

Dana Tilly said that you hired her through his agency?

We don't know either of those people, Detective.

So you didn't hire Dana Tilly to pretend to be you

for a business function a week ago?

No!

That is absurd!

No!

Do, do we need to talk to a lawyer?

I dunno.

Do you?

I'm sorry we couldn't be of more help.

One last question:

where were the two of you on the night

of the attempted murder?

Attempted murder?

We don't know what you're talking about.

Uh, you're scaring us, Detective.

Yeah.

It happened two nights ago.

Oh, well, two nights ago we were at the Hyatt speaking to

about a hundred and fifty possible buyers

for our new development.

I can get you the contact at the hotel.

I can get you the guest list, if you'd like.

Hmm.

Thank you.

My e-mail is on the bottom of the card.

If you think of anything, let us know.

Great.

And, we'd appreciate that information.

Of course.

All right.

Thank you.

Appreciate your time.

Best of luck!

What do you think?

I dunno.

If their alibi sticks, which I think it will,

then something's not right with Dana's story.

Dana?

Oh.

You scared me.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I've just been a little jumpy lately.

I understand.

This is my partner, Detective Maitland.

Is there somewhere where we can talk?

Sure, um, right over here.

You said you worked for Mark and Lisa Thomas.

That's right.

Yeah, well we spoke to them this morning.

They claim they never met you.

What?

Why would they say that?

Do you have any proof you worked for them?

No.

I told you.

Wallace, the guy who tried to kill me, he had everything;

all the paperwork.

We also received an anonymous tip from someone

who said that you and McWilliams are together.

What?

No.

That is ridiculous.

He was my agent.

He, he hired me to impersonate Lisa Thomas.

Why would I lie about that?

I'm not saying you're lying, Dana.

But people lie all the time for all kinds of reasons.

Okay, I am telling you.

I was hired to impersonate Lisa Thomas by Wallace

or whatever his name is.

Look, Williams attacks your friend, almost kills her.

The Thomas' claim they never heard of you or Wallace River.

You know, the department is not happy about

where this case is going.

I'm warning you.

Obstruction of justice is a criminal offense.

I'm not lying.

You have to believe me.

I want to, Dana.

I really do.

Now let's see if the good cop, bad cop routine

shakes anything loose.

Sal.

Do you mind if I left?

I don't think I'm going to be any help to the customers.

Sure.

That's fine.

We're good here.

How's Isabelle?

I don't know.

I'm gonna go and see her tonight.

Give her my best.

All right?

The police don't believe me.

They think I'm lying.

I promise you I'll be here for you.

I'm so sorry this happened.

I promise I'm going to find out who's responsible for this.

Hi, how can I help you?

Hi, I want to see Mark and Lisa.

May I tell them who's calling?

Dana Tilly.

Mr. Thomas.

There's a Ms. Dana Tilly here to see you.

Oh, okay.

Absolutely.

No problem, sir.

I'm sorry, but neither of them are in the office today.

You just talked to him.

Um, it connected to a cell phone.

But if you'd like to leave your contact information,

I'll be happy to pass it along.

To hell with that!

Excuse me?

Excuse me?

You can't just go running down there!

You can't just go barging through our offices.

There's people trying to conduct work here.

Mr. Thomas said that if you leave your information,

he'll be happy to make an appointment

with you another day.

Ms. Tilly!

What the hell are you doing?

You are?

I tried to stop her, sir.

You know damn well who I am!

No, I don't.

I'm going to have to ask you to leave the premises.

Get your hand off of me!

Easy.

Look, I don't know what your deal is with David or Wallace

or whatever the hell his name is,

but my best friend is in a coma because of him!

And I was almost killed!

I'm sorry to hear about your friend.

Would you like me to call the police?

No.

Oh, yeah!

Call the police!

That would be great cause then you can let them know

how I know the layout of his house

and about his meeting with a group of Asian businessmen.

It's okay, Rachel.

I'll deal with this.

She's obviously mistaken.

I'm sorry, sir.

Not a problem.

Having fun yet?

I'm not gonna let you get away with this.

(Lisa): Hey, honey.

We have a problem.

With the girl?

Yeah.

Crazy about that guy, huh?

What guy?

Philip Hatcher, the president.

What happened to him?

Shot him right between the eyes.

When?

Oh, about a week ago, I guess.

October 12th?

Yeah, I think so.

Probably looked him right between the eyes

and pulled the trigger.

If you ask me,

he was involved in organized crime.

All these guys are.

Bingo!

Not as smart as I thought you were, Wallace.

Let's see who you've been calling.

Mackeny, Terrance and Guildford.

Oh man.

Okay.

Why?

I'm here to see Dana.

I tried to warn Billings about you

but he just wouldn't listen.

I can't say I'm surprised.

What the?

That's what happens when you stick your nose

where it doesn't belong.

It's a restraining order.

I wanted to personally serve you.

And just to make sure that you understand,

I'm gonna spell it out for you.

Stay at least 100 yards away from the persons or property

of Mark and Lisa Thomas.

You are to have no direct or indirect contact with them

by any means written, electronic or by phone.

And you are not to follow them or disturb their peace.

Understood?

Yeah.

Have a nice day.

Dana, that's twice the police have been here to talk to you.

I got some bad news.

People are complaining and they're not comfortable.

What are you saying?

They heard that you were a stalker

and that you can't be trusted.

All right?

There's nothing I can do.

So you're firing me?

I'm sorry.

Great.

[STRUGGLING GRUNTS]

Did you see his face?

You don't believe me, do you?

You think I'm making this up?

Well don't you see what this looks like?

You claim that a high profile, wealthy couple

hires you to impersonate them

and they say that they've never met you.

Then you assault the husband at his work

and they take out a restraining order on you.

And now you claim he was in this apartment.

I went to Mark's office because I wanted him to admit

to hiring me and that he knew Wallace.

What would you do?

Look, Dana, I want to believe you.

But some of the stuff just doesn't add up.

I found this earlier.

It was underneath my couch.

It's Wallace's, no doubt.

He must have dropped it when he attacked me.

Dana, if this is evidence, you've compromised it.

Can't you just look into who he called?

I don't know who they are but he called

Mackeny, Terrance and Guildford several times.

Okay.

I will look into it.

On one condition:

promise me if I don't find anything, you'll stop this.

Absolutely.

Meanwhile, stay away from the Thomas'.

With pleasure.

You all right?

Yeah.

I'll call you if I find anything.

Mr. Mackeny?

Detective Billings, this is my partner, Detective Maitland.

Rather unusual to ask to meet outside the office, Detective.

Why the clandestine meeting?

Well, we thought it might be better if we met you down here.

And what can I do for you?

We're searching out some information concerning

one of your clients.

I'm afraid without a warrant I can't release

any confidential client information to you, Detective.

We're not looking for any detailed information.

We'd just like to see your client list.

Are you harassing other law firms

or just ours in the pursuit of this case?

We're not harassing you at all, Mr. Mackeny.

We're just pursuing a lead that may involve

one of your clients.

Yeah, do we really need a warrant?

I think it would be best for all concerned

if you were to do that paperwork now.

Mr. Mackeny, we could certainly go back to the precinct

and fill in all the paperwork if that's what you want.

But if we do, then it will be for a full search,

not just a look at your client list.

Well then, I look forward to your return

when you have everything in order, Detective.

But I don't think you wanna run the risk to your firm;

if we find out you've been aiding a felon,

specifically a homicide.

Are you threatening me?

We have reason to believe that through the use of your firm

you may have facilitated a homicide.

Now, all I'm asking is to see your client list.

I think he's offering you a choice:

unwilling victim or accessory?

Give me 20 minutes and I'll have it ready for you.

Who's to say a little gentle persuasion doesn't work?

Yeah, remind me not to play poker with you.

I couldn't afford it.

[PHONE RINGING]

Thomas and Hatcher, how may I help you?

Hi, um, this is Rhonda Griffiths from Merrick Architects.

I was wondering, is Mark or Lisa in the office today?

I'm afraid not.

They'll be at Mr. Hatcher's funeral all afternoon.

Oh, I am so sorry to hear about that.

Um, do you know if they'll be in the office tomorrow?

They should be.

Can I take a message?

No, I'll just call back then.

Thank you so much.

Have a good day.

I shouldn't be more than ten minutes.

Okay, let's see what we got here.

Meeting to discus details.

Hmm.

Willing to meet at the date and time of your suggestion.

Hmm.

Business separation.

Let's meet in person.

Suggest your house on October 12th.

October 12th!

That this will constitute my final correspondence.

I want nothing more to do with your reckless

and stupid schemes.

Looks like somebody ticked you off, Lisa.

Lev Goldblatt.

Unfortunately, I can't make the funeral today.

This is just to confirm our meeting.

It'll be a pleasure to finally meet you in person.

Oh, I look forward to meeting you in person too.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

Goldblatt, Kirshner and Jones, how can I help you?

Hi, this is Lisa Thomas.

I was wondering if I could change my appointment

with Mr. Goldblatt.

Um, he can see you at 4:30.

Do you have anything earlier?

I'm afraid not.

That's the only space in his calendar.

Well, I'll just have to make 4:30 work.

All right.

Very good then.

Thank you.

Okay, are you sure she didn't see your face?

I told you.

It was dark.

I was wearing a mask.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

It's just we're so close and--

If she goes to the police,

they'll think she's crazier than they already do.

Tomorrow we go to Goldblatt's office,

we finalize the paperwork,

then we deal with little, Ms. Hollywood on our own time.

Right.

One good thing about Wallace's unfortunate accident.

What's that?

We don't have to pay him the 100 grand.

True.

Did the lawyer talk to Philip's mother?

Not yet.

Okay, we gotta get on that.

She is Philip's executor.

She could really throw a wrench into the works

if she talks too much to Goldblatt.

How?

It's all legal.

If she gets an injunction,

she could slow us down for six months

and we will be bankrupt, honey.

Okay?

All right.

All right.

I'll call him.

Thank you.

We still gotta get changed.

We're gonna be late for the funeral.

Who cares?

He's dead.

Because, sweetheart, it's gonna look bad to be late

for the funeral of our business partner.

You could be so cold.

That's what I love about you.

True.

What are you doing here?

Well I just dropped off a lady.

She's inside getting something.

You know, she looks just like you.

You two could be sisters.

She's here.

I need officers at 187 Harvard Crescent.

We have an intruder!

A patrol car is in the area.

Bitch was on the computer!

She might still be in the house.

Yes!

I'm gonna check the bedroom, you go upstairs.

Right.

She's not here!

Not here either!

Dana!

There she is!

Which way did she go?

I don't know!

What are we gonna do?

Nothing.

She just buried herself.

[SIREN WAILING]

Stop!

Officer, that's her!

I think she's got a gun!

What the hell were you thinking?

Breaking and entering?

Posing as Lisa Thomas?

What am I supposed to do?

These people are trying to kill me!

And you think that I'm lying or crazy or both!

You were supposed to give us a chance to talk to the lawyers.

Yeah, well, I didn't think you'd bother.

Well I did.

What did you find out?

Okay, you were right.

Mackeny, Terrance and Guildford represent the Thomas'.

Well, can you arrest them?

For what?

Lying about knowing David McWilliams?

No, for obstruction of justice!

For killing Philip Hatcher.

Well now you're saying they killed him!

They were partners.

I think that's why Lisa had me pretend to be her

so that she would have an alibi while she's killing Philip.

Do you know how crazy that sounds?

They didn't have a restraining order against him

and they weren't caught breaking and entering, were they?

I talked with the head of homicide.

He said he wants to close this case and close it now.

I told him we need you to crack this thing.

First he had to argue that there actually was a case.

You're gonna be released into our custody.

Time is running out.

We need to do something.

Yeah, we sure as hell can't bring

this alibi story to the chief.

He'll laugh us out of our jobs.

Wait, you have a better idea?

Yeah.

You're nuts and he's a sucker.

You know what?

Don't start thinking that you're some kind of partner

in a crime-solving trio.

You know what you are?

Bait.

That's it.

What is he talking about?

When you're released into custody,

we're gonna put the word out.

We're gonna put all this surveillance around you

and when Mark Thomas shows up,

we're gonna arrest him.

No, that's not gonna work.

They're not gonna risk attacking me

within the next 24 hours.

You need to go after them!

You know, this is not up for debate.

The paperwork to release you into our custody

has been signed.

You don't actually think they're going to show up here, do you?

I don't know, Dana.

But this is the best I can do.

I'm putting my neck on the line.

I appreciate that.

We've got surveillance around the building.

Thank you for your help.

If you need anything, you call my cell.

Do you understand?

Okay.

Well I'm not gonna stay here like live bait.

Not a chance.

Thanks.

Here we go.

She must be getting to ya.

What do you mean by that?

Well, you're not sticking your neck out for this woman

just because you think she's the greatest detective

since Philip Marlowe.

You saw the client list at the law office.

Was that more than a coincidence?

You're gonna need a lot more than that, my friend.

I'm telling you.

Hey!

Hey, come here!

Come here!

Hi.

What's up?

You girls looking for some action?

Aren't we all?

You see that car over?

I think they might need some company.

They look like cops to me.

Do a girl a favour?

I need a distraction.

Okay.

Let's go.

Check these two out.

So, what brings you two around here?

Soliciting is against the law, girls.

Take a hike.

Now that's insulting.

Suggesting we're working girls?

Why don't you two take your act back across the street

before we decide to haul you both to jail?

Go away.

You're interfering with police business.

Keep it up, we'll run you in.

Last time I checked it was a free country.

Maybe I should call a cop.

Get the hell outta here!

Get outta here!

Unbelievable.

Mrs. Hatcher?

Yes?

Mrs. Hatcher, I'm Lisa Thomas.

I'm so sorry--

No, you're not.

If you were Lisa Thomas you'd know better

than to show your face, especially here.

Frankly, you're lucky you're not her

because I'd do more than just call the police,

which is what I'm about to do.

No.

No, you're right.

I'm not Lisa.

But they hired me to impersonate her

and then they tried to kill me.

I think they were using me so that Lisa would have an alibi.

An alibi?

For what?

For killing your son.

You're crazy.

They have a meeting today with Philip's lawyer.

They had their lawyer call you

so that they could reach some sort of settlement.

How do you know that?

Look, I just need proof of what they've done.

How can I help?

Just, tell me anything you know.

Did Philip have a falling out with the Thomas'?

They blame Philip for a real estate deal gone bad

as though he were responsible for the real estate market.

It was Lisa's stupid idea.

But when it went belly up, they threatened to sue Philip.

They didn't, of course, because they had nothing.

So is that why they ended their partnership?

It was too late.

They had lost everything.

Philip was going to have to sell his house.

They'd be bankrupt too if it weren't for the fact

that they got some loans from some very dodgy people.

They were broke?

Yes.

That's why it makes no sense that they would kill Philip.

To what end?

All they'll inherit are his debts.

Thank you.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

If they killed my son, god help them.

Hi.

This is Dana Tilly.

I can't answer your call at the moment--

Damn it.

--so please leave a message.

She's not answering.

That's the third time we've called.

You think she--

I dunno.

Let's go.

[POUNDING ON DOOR]

Dana!

Dana, open the door!

[POUNDING ON DOOR]

Let us in or we'll break the door down!

Check the bedroom.

Damn it!

Clear!

She played us, buddy.

Let's go.

Where we going?

If you were her, where would you go?

Mexico.

[PHONE RINGING]

All right.

Yeah.

All right.

Bye.

Uh, Mrs. Thomas, right?

Yes.

Mr. Goldblatt is just finishing up.

He won't be long.

Um, have a seat.

Can I get you a coffee?

Oh no, I'm fine.

Thanks.

Mrs. Thomas.

I'm terribly sorry.

Oh, no worries.

It is such a pleasure to meet you finally.

You're even more beautiful in person

than on your infomercials.

Oh, thank you.

You keep that up and my lawyer's gonna sue you

for stealing me away.

Come.

We'll make this a high-speed meeting

so you don't miss your next appointment.

Great.

Great.

You know, Philip left pretty much everything

to his mother and sister.

Except, of course, to the business,

which he left to you.

Well, that was nice of him!

[CHUCKLES]

Oh, I'm sorry.

I thought you were being ironic.

In any case, please sit down.

Fortunately for you,

Philip's death will solve many problems.

The joint insurance policy that you and he purchased

will pay out the entire amount;

and that aught to cover all of the current liabilities.

Oh and how much is that policy again?

The total amount,

after deducting for the various charges and fees,

is $8,753,482.26

Oh!

And after the standard investigation and processing procedures,

payout shouldn't take any more than 30 days.

Great!

Could I get a copy of that?

Sure.

I'll have Lana mail it to you.

Oh, um, I'd like to take it now.

I'm gonna be seeing my lawyer tomorrow morning

and it would just be more convenient

if I could just pass it off to him in person.

No problem.

Lana, can you please give a copy of the Hatcher insurance file

to Mrs. Thomas on her way out?

Certainly, sir.

I have a copy here.

It's done.

Thank you so much, Mr. Goldblatt.

You've been quite a help.

Lev, please, it's been my pleasure.

And say hello to your husband.

Yes.

Hi.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Where the hell are you?

I'm at Lev Goldblatt's office;

Philip Hatcher's lawyer.

Are you crazy?

You were supposed to stay at the apartment!

Yeah and wait around for nothing to happen?

You should be thanking me for getting you more evidence.

Evidence that we probably can't use, Dana.

There are rules to this game.

Yeah, you wouldn't be calling it a game

if it were you they were trying to kill.

Goldblatt just gave me a copy of the life insurance policy

that Philip and the Thomas' have in common.

If any one of them died, they got a payout:

almost nine million.

They're already rich, Dana.

Why would they kill for an extra few million dollars?

No, they weren't rich!

They're about to lose their shirts

on the Willow Acres deal!

Look, I've seen enough CSI's to know about

motive and opportunity and they had both!

Almost $9 million worth!

We can't use any of this as evidence, Dana.

Why?

I don't need a search warrant!

I'm not a cop!

You were released from custody under our supervision.

Any judge will say we got around seeking a search warrant

because we didn't have any evidence.

So, so what now?

Let us do our job!

Now stay there!

Okay.

Just get here, all right?

What's she doing here?

Oh, she spotted us.

Go! Go! Go!

Go! Go! Go!

Hey!

Go around!

Go around!

Go around!

Lisa!

Hey!

Pop the trunk!

You took forever!

You weren't running after her!

Quiet!

We gotta get her bag!

We gotta get her outta here!

You drive!

You know, you really gotta stop bossing me around.

I'll check the office, you check here.

Hi there.

Hi.

I'm Detective Billings.

How can I help you?

Did you have a Dana Tilly come and see you recently?

I'm sorry.

I don't think we--

What is it?

I'm looking for Dana Tilly: blond, attractive woman.

She was in your office in the last twenty minutes.

No, I don't know anyone by that name.

What is this about?

It's a murder investigation.

The only woman I met today was a Mrs. Thomas.

A Mrs. Thomas?

Yes.

Did she say where she was going?

No, but she left in a hurry.

I see.

If you hear anything, can you give me a call?

This is my card.

Of course.

Thank you.

I got nothing.

She just disappeared.

If we don't get her back, we're done.

I'll drop you off at the precinct.

You get a search warrant for the Thomas' house.

I'll head straight there.

Chances of getting a warrant are slim to none.

If we can get into their house,

maybe we can get some answers.

Well that's an awful lot of ifs my friend.

Have you got a better suggestion?

Stay in bed this morning.

We have to get rid of her.

We don't have time to do that right now.

Mr. Mura's already heading to the site.

Then what are we gonna do with her?

We do a quick tour of the site,

we get him to sign the papers,

send him on his way.

Then, we do a "Hoffa".

We bury her in the foundation.

No one will ever know.

Then we're all free with $9 million.

I told you, honey our great alibi would work.

Yeah, you did, baby.

[LAUGHS]

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

Yeah.

How's the warrant coming?

I dunno, it's Judge Seal.

I'm not sure he's gonna buy it.

Well do what you gotta do.

I'll be waiting for you at the Thomas'.

I'm on it.

Just, just smile.

Hello!

Hi!

Mr. Mura, our sincerest apologies for being late.

All the paperwork has been done.

The funds will be transferred into your account

within 30 days.

Oh, how fortunate for you

considering the circumstances.

The circumstances?

Yes, the tragic loss of your partner.

Yes.

Yeah.

Very tragic.

And to think that my investment was saved

on an unfortunate death in an insurance payout.

Philip was a forward thinker.

Yeah.

He didn't want the company to suffer in the event

that one of us would meet an untimely death.

Well, a smart man.

Well, shall we look at the property?

Yes.

We have 1,500 town homes

overlooking the hills.

[POUNDING]

Help!

Help!

Help!

[POUNDING]

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help, somebody!

Come on.

Come on.

[PHONE RINGING]

Yeah, talk.

How much longer?

Uh, it's hard to say.

He's still in chambers.

Well get another judge if you have to.

You got it.

Screw it.

[POUNDING]

Damn it!

[CRASH SOUND]

Hey, I'm inside the house.

I couldn't wait for the warrant.

There's no one here.

I don't have a good feeling about this.

Well, what about their cell phones?

Good idea.

Let's put a trace on Dana's and Thomas' cell.

See if we can get a GPS lock.

I'm on it.

Oh, hey fella, not so fast.

I need you to track a couple numbers for me.

And don't even ask if I have a warrant, all right?

[POUNDING]

Help!

Help! Help!

Oh my god!

Oh my god!

Oh god.

Okay.

Okay.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Hey.

No ping on Dana's cell but we got a hit

on both the Thomas' phones.

They're about ten miles south near Lincoln.

They can be anywhere within a one mile square.

I know where they've gone.

The development site near the Lincoln golf course.

They're at Willow Acres.

Yeah, I'll send backup.

I'm on my way.

We'll keep pinging Dana's phone.

So Mr. Mura, what'd you think?

I thought it was very impressive.

Okay.

Very impressive.

And we look forward to working with you.

Safe journeys.

I thought he'd never leave.

I know.

You go get her.

I'll find a place to dump her body.

Oh!!!!!!

Lisa!

Lisa!

Dana got away!

There's nowhere to run, Dana!

Look, we don't have to do this.

No, I'm afraid we do.

Seriously, I don't care about Philip.

It's none of my business!

You think we're gonna trust you

after all your snooping around?

You don't want more blood on your hands.

I don't care!

You're nobody and nobody cares about you!

[FIGHTING GRUNTS]

[FIGHTING GRUNTS]

Why can't you just die!

Get off of me!

Whoa!

$1 million!

What?

I'll give you $1 million to disappear.

How do I know you won't come after me again?

Just imagine what you can do with all that money!

Cash?

Crisp,100 bills.

Do we have a deal?

You know what, Lisa?

What?

You're such a bad actress.

Drop it!

Sweetie, you okay?

I know the perfect place we can bury her.

And they'll never find her body.

She'll just disappear.

Please! Please!!

You don't have to do this!

You couldn't leave it alone.

The cops are going to figure it out!

Figure what out?

There's gonna be no body!

And of course I have the perfect alibi!

Even if there is circumstantial evidence

but $9 million gets you a great lawyer!

Do it!

Just do it!

Now!

Right here?

Yeah.

You put a scratch on her and you're done!

Drop the knife and back away!

All right, just take it easy.

[GUNFIRE]

Don't even think about it!

You okay?

Yeah, just a sore fist.

Good news: they both confessed.

Lisa said it was all Mark's idea,

Mark said it was all Lisa's idea.

Oh, well, lock them in a room together

and let them fight it out.

Well they're about to discover that

there's no get out of jail card for throwing your partner

under the bus to save yourself.

Now that this is all over,

I'd like to take you to dinner to thank you for your help.

Aw, my help.

Yes.

How did I help?

Even though you almost got yourself killed,

if you hadn't been so stubborn,

we'd still be looking to solve this case.

You're right.

You do owe me dinner.

Hey!

Oh my gosh!

Why the flowers?

You're not in trouble.

Not yet.

I can't believe they're making a movie of this crime

with Billy Bob Thornton playing me!

And Julia Roberts playing Dana!

It's so crazy!

I know.

Who would have thought that a simple alibi

would turn into this?

The best part of it is that my favorite actress

is playing me!

The wonderful Dana Tilly!

Thank you!

I'm so proud of you!

Thank you.

I couldn't agree more.

Dana, to your mark!

You're up!

It's show time!

Good luck!

All right, stand by, people!

That's for you, pumpkin.
