[gentle music]

[bag thuds]

Oh, that's not gonna do.

You, you know you're gonna make me late.

I tried to tell you.

[ominous music]

I can't be with you anymore.

I, I don't have time for this.

I mean it, Amanda.

Not tonight.

See, you think you can just order me around.

I'm fed up with it.

Just go to the party and have a good time.

I love you.

No.

[suspenseful music]

No?

Nobody says no to me.

I have given you everything.

That's why I'm leaving with what I came in with.

Nobody leave me, James!

James, come back!

Hi, sweetie.

[cage door clicks]

Oh.

Ah, come on, you'll love it, I promise.

Oh.

Okay, for later.

Oh, so sweet.

Bye.

[cage door clicks]

[Calli sighs]

One of these days.

Bye. [laughs]

I love volunteering but I wish

I could just take all the puppies home.

Oh, by the way, um, I gotta cancel dinner tonight.

Work called me in.

What's the job?

Private party at the Vandertin.

Okay.

You know what?

I'm gonna tell 'em I can't make it.

We are having a date night.

Oh, no, it's, I mean is it good pay?

Just the base pay.

Well, it's at the Vandertin...

tips alone might be worth it.

It's fine.

[gentle music]

We can do dinner tomorrow.

- Calli, we... - No.

- Don't have to. - No, I know,

but you need the money.

You're gonna finish school

so we can finally open our doggie daycare day spa. [laughs]

Plus I hate to get in between you

and your Gentlemen Caller ladies.

If you ever want me to stop just let me know.

I can always find something else.

Well, while they are getting Lance,

I'm getting Ben, the real thing. And that's all that matters.

Plus I trust you.

[lips smack]

[Ben] Call you tonight.

Okay.

No attachments, not here.

You asked.

Hey, you, we're dancing.

Got it?

Of course I wanna dance with the lady of the hour.

Be right with you.

Okay.

And that's the abridged story of how I got taken

then graduating cum laude from AU,

and now sitting in a high rise

You're a true inspiration.

[group oohing]

Now the clock strikes midnight.

Well, I had a wonderful evening.

You know I hate for it to end.

I had wonderful time.

How do I pay the tip?

Is it cash, credit?

Bitcoin?

[laughs] It's through the app.

Okay.

[ominous music]

It's been a real pleasure.

It has been.

[insects chirping]

[dog barking]

[Calli] A thousand dollars?

[Ben] Mm-hmm.

A thousand dollars and she didn't ask

for anything in return?

Not a thing.

And even if she did you know what my answer would be.

That you have a girlfriend, a longterm girlfriend.

I'd say I can't, it's company policy.

[Calli scoffs]

[Ben laughs]

Since you're awake.

[lips smacking]

[traffic humming]

[woman on phone] I'm sorry, but Lance is unavailable.

[Amanda] Well, I'll pay double.

It's for a very important business dinner.

When a gentleman has been reserved,

he is unavailable.

Well, maybe you could just talk to the client.

I can't do that.

Look you're being unreasonable.

If you could just call Lance and talk to him.

I'm sorry, I can't help you with your request.

Is there anything else I can do for you?

- [ominous music] - [Amanda sighs]

[computer beeping]

- [traffic humming] - [gentle jazz music]

I need help help tracking someone down.

A guy?

I was just hoping you could cross reference it

with some of your contacts.

Is it a guy?

Because you've always been my little problem solver.

Answer the question.

Don't get snippy.

It's a potential client.

And yes, he's a man.

I feel like you've used up all your favors with me, Sis.

You're done doing favors for me?

When we were little kids, being dragged from home to home,

with Mom after Dad left,

did I ever track favors with you?

You know I protected you from some real crap.

Not once did I ever say

"Sorry, you're all out of favors."

Who do you need me to find?

[Walker on phone] So his real name is Ben Howard.

He rents a duplex over in Decatur.

He's up to his neck in student loans.

Recently dropped out of veterinary school.

Took the job with Gentlemen Caller

in February working part-time,

but I guess you already knew that, huh, Sis?

[traffic humming]

- [birds chirping] - [diners chattering]

Oh, my God, Lance.

Amanda, hey.

God, it's so crazy.

I was just out here shopping on my lunch break

and I thought I'd grab something to eat.

So is this place good?

Oh, it's, uh, great. [chuckles]

Um, I just have to say the tip you left the other night

it was beyond generous.

Well, it was the only way that I knew

how to show my appreciation for a perfect evening.

Well, uh, I don't have any plans are you with anyone?

- Oh, about that, um, I... - [Calli] Hey, babe!

Hey.

[lips smack]

Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.

I'm Amanda.

I was just saying hi.

I'm Calli.

How do you know... Ben?

Ben?

I don't know Ben, I know Lance.

Oh.

We met last weekend.

He charmed me all evening.

The tip.

I'm gonna get going before this is anymore awkward

than it already needs to be.

Oh, but quick question.

Ben, are you working full-time right now?

[ominous music]

Uh, no, no, I'm...

I'm actually trying to complete my veterinary degree,

well, I was and then I wasn't.

It was a lot of starting and stopping.

Because of money?

I don't mean to be personal,

I just lost my house manager, and I'm hiring.

I need somebody that can handle my personal business

while I'm working.

Oh, um, well, I've,

I've never really done anything like that before.

Well, at the party you knew what I was ordering

before I had even ordered it,

so I need someone with that kind of instinct.

So he would be working at your house, or...?

The role is house manager.

But I'm willing to be flexible with your schedule

if you wanna get your degree.

Starting salary is 100K.

Um, I'm sorry, did you say a hundred thousand?

Before overtime.

And for you peace of mind

the Gentlemen Caller rules and regulations can still apply.

Can I, uh, can I let you know?

Sure.

Give me a call.

Have a lovely lunch.

Uh, thanks.

[insects chirping]

It's hard to beat a hundred thousand pros...

and all that it could do.

Look, I know the money's important

but she's, like, throwing this at you.

Hey, it's not just me

who's benefiting here, you are too.

And I'm not just talking about the clinic.

We could travel, first class.

But I've always loved our low-budget getaways.

But we could pamper ourselves.

Take that trip too Bali, hmm?

Okay, but I just can't stop thinking about how odd it is

that she ran into you

and magically had this amazing job opportunity.

She just happened to be passing by while she was shopping.

She was just as shocked as I was.

You weren't there.

Look, I think I need to take this.

Look, it's just a job.

I can always quit.

This could set us up for the life we've always dreamed of.

[Calli sighs]

All right.

I guess you'd be stupid not to take it.

As long as the Gentlemen Caller rules still apply.

You're the best.

[lips smack]

[dramatic music]

No way.

[birds chirping]

[doorbell ringing]

[door clicks]

Good morning.

Right on time.

Dad always said, "It's better to be 30 minutes early

than five minutes late."

I like that.

[door shuts]

Let me show you around.

Dry cleaning goes in and comes out daily.

I have an account.

I'll get you a credit card for your expenses.

Also please familiarize yourself with everything.

Know what goes where.

And if anything is old

and needs to be replaced, replace it.

If it needs to be throw out, throw it out.

Are you gonna take notes?

Like pen and paper?

Like on your phone.

I just hate repeating myself.

Ah. Take things down.

[tongue clicks] Got it.

So...

[brooding music]

I'm gonna take care of you and you're gonna take care of me.

Show you around.

- [birds chirping] - [door clicks]

Dinner's at seven.

I want the special from Terranea.

Get yourself whatever you want.

Um, oh, you, you want me to have dinner with you?

Consider it a working dinner.

If there's anything that you need

to vent about, just let me know.

Or if there's anything that I wanna talk

to you about then you listen.

Okay.

I've told my staff that I'm gonna be working from home

for the next few weeks.

I hope you're up for this.

[car door opens]

- [car door closes] - [car engine revving]

[Ben sighs]

Here we go, Ben.

[Ben exhales]

- [insects chirping] - [gentle piano music]

[door clicks]

[door shuts]

Hey, there.

What happened to the whole

"it's better to be 30 minutes early"?

Oh, um, they screwed up the entire order,

so I had to redo the whole thing.

Well, I wish you would have communicated that with me

so I wasn't just sitting here waiting.

Relationships survive or die based on communication.

Um, I'll do better next time.

Great.

That's all I wanted to hear.

This one's for you.

Is everything okay?

Do you want us to eat from these?

What are we, street people?

Plates are in the kitchen.

I'll be right back.

[Ben sighs]

Here we go.

See isn't this nice?

Uh-huh. [coughs]

Would you like some wine?

Oh, um, I'm working.

Well, it's at the end of the day

so you should relax, unwind.

Live a little.

Sure, I'd love some wine.

Cheers.

[glasses clink]

[birds chirping]

[door shuts]

And I left you a list of events to RSVP to.

Plus one on all of them, so get your suit ready.

[hesitantly] I'm your plus one?

Gentlemen Caller rules, no?

I just thought we moved passed that type of thing.

And I just thought you understood the role

that you would be playing here.

But if not I guess here is your first and last paycheck.

Things have been going so great.

And to think I even gave you

what pro athletes call a sign on bonus.

You know what?

Plus one thing is a non-issue.

I'll get my suit pressed and ready.

Makes me so happy to hear.

Uh, about your car.

Oh, she gets the job done.

I can't have you representing me around town in that.

Well, uh, can't exactly afford a new car quite yet.

Take the car in the garage, use it as your own.

Enjoy it.

And don't let me see that thing again.

- [upbeat music] - [garage door whirring]

Ooh.

[birds chirping]

[Ben clears throat]

Ben?

What do you think?

[Calli] You bought a car?

No, no, Amanda gave it to me.

-It's, she- -What, wait, a gift?

No, no, no, just to use while I'm out doing errands.

It's her second car.

Wanna go for a drive?

[sighs] Ben, I've hardly seen you all week,

and we've only talked twice.

I know, I know, but I've just found my groove

with this new job, okay?

I'll, I'll be better.

There is also this.

What is?

[ominous music]

$5,000?

How about a late dinner tonight?

Well, I would love that,

but I've heard that a lot the last couple weeks.

Tonight, I promise.

Now come on, let's go.

Wait, I'm a mess.

Let me at least shower.

I don't have that long.

Come on.

- [insects chirping] - [clock ticking]

Do you need to be somewhere?

No, not at all.

But if you're finished, I can clear your plate if you'd like.

Yes, please.

Did you have someone in my car?

I noticed some dirt on the mat.

[ominous music]

I had to drop a couple of things off at Calli's

and I took her for a ride around the block.

She was working in the garden

and must've had some dirt on her shoes or something.

Well, I would appreciate it if you don't take

your girlfriend for joyrides in my car.

Got it.

One more thing, could you turn on the hot tub?

'Cause I'd like to take a soak.

Sure.

- [gentle romantic music] - [water bubbling]

[water splashing]

You, uh, need anything else before I go?

I thought you didn't have to be anywhere.

There's a spare suit in the guest bedroom.

Why don't you just hop in?

As lovely as that sounds I'm pretty tired,

I just wanna go home.

Well, that's too bad,

'cause I wanted to discuss your future, set up a road map.

Get you set for success when you're done working with me.

How do you mean?

Well, it's gonna have to wait

until you're not so tired.

[Ben chuckles]

How about I sit for a few minutes?

Would that work?

Are you trying to bargain with me?

So is that what you really wanna do, you wanna be a vet?

Help sick and dying animals?

Yeah, yeah, I've, I've wanted to ever since I was kid.

Ever since we lost my lab, Hutch.

Ah, Hutch.

Well, as my plus one to these events

you know you're gonna meet a lot of people.

A lot of money people

who like to invest in things like sick and dying animals.

Would they, they invest in a clinic?

Well, if it's a rescue center too.

But I'm not gonna just let you use me and run off,

so if I do this I want you to give me every effort.

And then I will give you everything

that you've ever dreamed of.

How about you give me a foot massage?

Uh, Amanda, that, that's not,

that's not something that I'm comfortable with.

[hands clapping]

Respect yourself.

Know your limits.

Know when to compromise and when not to.

Can I, uh, go now?

See ya tomorrow.

Goodnight, Amanda.

[ominous music]

[Amanda sighs]

- [dog barking] - [insects chirping]

[Calli] God, I've missed you.

[Ben] I've missed you too.

Maybe in the morning

I'll make you my special blackberry brie omelet.

I would love that.

And maybe I could take you shopping.

[phone buzzing]

Can't you ignore it? [groans]

I give her a year, she gives us everything.

[lips smack]

[Ben groaning]

[ominous music]

Oh, God.

What's wrong?

[phone beeps]

Amanda had a break-in.

[phone ringing]

- [Amanda on phone] Ben! - Hey, I...

Someone busted through the window

downstairs by the pool.

Okay, and, and the police are on their way?

Yes, but I need you.

I'm all right, don't worry.

Okay, good, I'll, I'll be there as fast as I can.

Hurry.

It's fine, just go.

Yeah.

Let me know everything's okay.

[Ben] Will do.

[Amanda] The police say,

it was an attempted smash and grab.

They ran off when they realized I was home.

I guess I was really lucky.

[Ben sighs]

I'll get a broom and a dustpan.

You know I was thinking maybe

you could stay the night tonight in the guest bedroom.

[scoffs] Well, I, I got...

I, I don't feel safe.

Yeah, probably wouldn't make sense to go home, come back.

What a relief.

You know I think I'm gonna have drink, settle my nerves.

You want one?

No, thanks.

I just wanna clean up and go to sleep.

You know I was thinking...

The police are right,

my security system's old and it's on the fritz.

I want someone out here first thing.

Sure, I'll get on it.

Then that means I'm gonna have strange men

in my house during the day and what about at night?

I'll get the window replaced and the locks changed.

Yeah, but the security system's

probably not gonna be in place then.

Then we can hire private security until they're finished.

[ominous music]

And have strangers in my house.

You know I'm not gonna be able to sleep.

I want somebody that I'm comfortable with.

Somebody that I can be myself around.

Somebody that I can trust.

You want me to live here

while the security system goes in?

Well, I can't think of a better solution, can you?

- Yeah. - Look, this is my house

and I need to feel safe,

and in order to do that I need you.

Please?

[birds chirping]

Oh, yeah, we can do a lot in here.

We can insulate it, make it soundproof.

A safe room with all the amenities you're used to having.

Not some closet.

[phone buzzing]

Shoot.

- Who is it? - Calli.

But we can talk later.

Please go ahead.

Thanks.

Hey, Calli.

This all sounds really good,

but can I get some additional features?

What were you thinking?

You've already asked for the works.

Well, these are features that only I wanna know about.

Can you do something like that?

I'm here to serve my client,

not my client's assistant.

Oh, and, uh, the longer this takes the better.

You're moving in with her!

[Ben on phone] Just on a temporary basis.

Just until the work's finished, which won't be long.

What, what do you even know

about the break-in at this point?

This whole thing just feels... convenient.

Calli, please.

Look, I'm sorry I ran out, okay?

I'll call you back when I know more.

Bye.

- [phone thuds] - [Calli breathing shakily]

So what's the timeframe?

Well, I mean the motion detectors, the sensors,

that'll be pretty quick.

Roughly a week.

But everything else a few weeks tops.

- [door clicks] - [birds chirping]

- Thanks for coming. - You bet.

Have a nice day.

- [door shuts] - [clock ticking]

Ben.

Come here.

Is everything okay?

Do you like Sam?

Do you think he can follow through with his promise?

It's just this timeframe.

Nearly a month?

You know how contractors are, if it's not longer.

When you asked me to move in with you

I, I thought it might be for a few days, a week at the most.

Of course, every hour on this property

you'll be getting paid.

Just think of the overtime.

Thanks, but it's not about the money at this point.

- [ominous music] - Hmm.

It's the girlfriend.

Maybe, maybe she could stay here too.

Where does she live?

Little Five Points.

Well, it's not far.

If you wanna spend two nights a week with her,

and well, I'll just stay in a hotel.

I'm willing to work with you.

Thanks.

I appreciate it.

[door opens]

[door shuts]

What are you doing here?

I was picking up lunch for Amanda,

but I wanted to come by and talk in person.

Because you're moving in with her.

A couple of weeks.

- A month at most. - A month?

[Ben] Yeah, it takes that long

to get everything installed.

Hopefully it'll just be two to three weeks.

I know the whole thing. [sighs]

Look, I've tried to be understanding

with all of this.

And you've been nothing but great.

Okay, things are weird, I know,

but she's willing to let me stay here on the weekends.

Oh, how nice of her.

Look, just the thought of you living with her...

[gentle music]

when I want you living with me, here.

[chuckles] Are you, are you asking me to move in with you?

Yes.

You can move out of your place now

and it's a waste of money at this point anyway,

and then at the end of the month

you can move in here, with me.

I love it. [chuckles]

It's something we should have done a long time ago.

- [phone buzzing] - [phone beeps]

I'll ignore her.

Come here.

It's not gonna stop is it?

- [Ben sighs] - [phone beeps]

It's fine, just go.

[ominous music]

We're gonna pick this up later, okay?

We better.

[lips smack]

[gentle music]

[traffic humming]

[Ben sighs]

Okay.

Perfect.

[birds chirping]

Now you can control pretty much everything

from any device in the house that's connected,

including all the iPads and the TVs in the house.

You need me to walk you through everything again?

I've got it.

You know I make myself available 24/7

to all of my clients.

I said I've got it.

[Ben] Hi.

Where have you been?

Picking up your dress and my suit for tonight.

Well, if neither of you have any thing else,

it's been a pleasure.

Thank you.

[ominous music]

Is everything okay?

Thought you'd be happy all this work was finally wrapped up.

When are you gonna be wrapped up and out of here?

This weekend, that's been the plan.

Fine.

Why don't you get on with it?

I'll make sure you're not disturbed.

[remote clicking]

[phone buzzing]

Hey, beautiful.

Hey.

I just wanted to call

and tell you how excited I am for this weekend.

Me too.

Man, has Amanda grown extra moody these last few days.

Oh, have I?

Look, she's a raging narcissist.

[Calli on phone] It's probably a blow to her ego

that you're moving out of her mansion

into my sweet little abode.

I never told her that we're moving in together.

[Ben] She just knows that I'm moving out.

Really, you never told her?

What's it got to do with her?

[Amanda screams]

What was that?

I'm not sure, it might have been Amanda.

Let me go check.

I love you.

I love you too.

[knuckles tapping]

[TV clicks]

[knuckles tapping]

Enter.

[door clicks]

Is everything okay?

Yes.

Why wouldn't it be?

I just, just thought I heard a scream.

Wasn't me.

Had to of been some kind of feedback from the new system.

All right.

Okay, um, can I get you anything?

Just peace and quiet.

So if you have errands to do outside of the house,

why don't you do those.

Sure.

[Amanda sighs]

[ominous music]

[car engine humming]

[suspenseful music]

[lid thuds]

- [ambient electronic music] - ♪ I believe

- [cameras snapping] - [crowd chattering]

♪ I believe

-[group clapping]

Okay, it's game time.

So I'm gonna take you around,

introduce you to a lot of important people.

And all you have to do

is make them feel like they're number one,

just like you do with me.

[cameras snapping]

Don't forget to smile. [laughs]

Okay, let's do it. [chuckles]

[door clicks]

[cameras snapping]

- [insects chirping] - [ominous music]

[suspenseful music]

[Calli] What?

[insects chirping]

[ominous music]

[Amanda] Oh, what a night.

You were absolutely marvelous.

It was fun.

You know you just have this "it" factor

where everyone falls in love with you.

[Ben chuckles]

I think you're gonna have multiple offers

on your startup venture.

Yeah, yeah, those ladies

from the South Eastern Venture Fund

they, they really responded

to the rescue shelter aspect of the clinic.

I still have lots of energy.

I thought I would get a drink.

Care to join me?

No thanks.

Come on.

Sure, why not.

You know I can't wait to tell Calli all about this.

The rescue shelter idea it, it was hers. [chuckles]

[ominous music]

You really love her don't you?

Yeah, yeah, I do.

Actually when I move out this weekend

I'm moving in with her.

You don't say?

And I plan on asking her to marry me.

Congratulations.

Thanks for a great night.

To you and... Calli.

- [glasses clink] - [suspenseful music]

[birds chirping]

[Ben groaning]

[ominous music]

[suspenseful music]

Don't you just love mornings when you can sleep in?

I mean we did drink quite a bit

but we still managed to have fun.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Oh, you weren't saying that last night.

This was a mistake.

Don't you realize last night was combination of tensions

that have just been building between us,

and it, well, it finally erupted.

No, no, no, we, we were in the dinning room...

toasting me and Calli.

And yet, here we are.

You know after that drink something just came over you.

No.

No, no. I, I don't believe it.

Footage.

I wanna see the footage.

There isn't any because you had me

turn off the security system.

It was actually really quite.

You didn't want anyone to find out about it.

No, no, I, I couldn't have.

I'll just tell her myself.

Good luck.

She'll never forgive you.

I didn't cheat.

I didn't.

I'll see you when you get back.

[ominous music]

[phone clicks]

[suspenseful music]

- [dog barking] - [birds chirping]

[knuckles tapping]

Calli.

It's just me I need to...

[brooding music]

What?

Pictures!

Ben, she sent me pictures!

What?

[suspenseful music]

I swear I don't remember any of it.

I should have known.

I don't know what happened, okay?

You've gotta believe me, please.

Is that why you slept with her?

- Calli, please... - Out!

[brooding music]

[door clicks]

[door shuts]

[birds chirping]

[suspenseful music]

So I was thinking we could take a trip

anywhere you wanna go.

Away from here.

The mood's still fresh, right?

I'd rather be homeless

than spend one more minute in this house with you!

[scoffs] Ben, don't be that way.

I take it the news didn't land well with Calli.

'Cause you made sure she knew on your terms.

'Cause everything is always under your terms.

Look, I'm just trying to get you to see

that you and I we're, we're great together.

This is your home.

It, it's only natural that we take the next step.

Like you've always planned.

I didn't plan this.

Right.

As soon as I get out of here I'm gonna get tested.

For what?

What did you put in that drink last night?

Nothing.

Would you stop packing?

Look, you have everything you need.

Where are you gonna go?

Harrison will let me crash at his

until I can find a place of my own.

Fine, be that way.

You'll come looking for me soon enough.

Where is it?

- You mean this. - [suspenseful music]

Give it to me.

Amanda, give it to me.

Amanda!

Give it to me!

You gave it to me last night!

This isn't funny, Amanda!

You're hurting me!

- [hand slaps] - [Ben groans]

Sorry.

You know what, keep it.

I don't want it.

This isn't how you earn something like that.

No wonder you're alone.

You're pathetic.

- [Amanda grunts] - [Ben groans]

- [Ben groaning] - [body thudding]

[bones crack]

- [brooding music] - [whispering] Sorry.

Ben.

[Amanda panting]

[Amanda crying]

- [Ben groaning] - [ominous music]

[chain clanging]

[Ben grunting]

[Ben grunting]

Amanda!

Amanda!

[suspenseful music]

[birds chirping]

[Harrison] You guys broke up?

Yeah, three days ago.

This is the first I'm hearing about that.

I'm not surprised.

He's probably too busy with his new girlfriend.

[Harrison] What?

Just, it's a long story.

You should really call him.

No, I've been trying, and he's not answering his phone

or, or his text messages.

So he hasn't called you to pick up his stuff yet?

No, not yet.

Don't you think that's a problem?

[ominous music]

- [phone ringing] - [insects chirping]

[Ben on recording] Hey, it's Ben.

By now you should know what to do.

[phone beeps]

Hey, it's me.

I have your stuff here,

and I'd like to not be looking at it,

so, if you can call me back and let me know

what to do with it?

I hope you're okay.

Give me a call.

[tense ominous music]

[door clicks]

[Amanda] Good morning.

[door shuts]

Get me out of this.

Oh, good, you're up.

You can't do this, Amanda.

Do what?

Take care of you.

You think I'm gonna have anything you make for me?

Well, I made it with love and care.

Just like you've given me.

- [Ben scoffs] - [ominous music]

Oh, Ben.

[birds chirping]

Come on.

No.

[birds chirping]

[Calli sighs]

I mean look, see?

Mmm, it's delicious.

[alarm ringing]

[suspenseful music]

- [suspenseful music] - [knuckles tapping]

Calli!

Calli!

It's a soundproof room.

She can't hear you, nobody can.

[TV clicks]

Now just be a good boy

'cause I'd hate for anything to happen to her.

- [chains clanging] - [Ben groans]

Hello.

[birds chirping]

Amanda.

Yes.

Do I know you?

You know who I am.

Oh, um, wait it's Kerry.

Calli.

Oh, right.

Uh, well, how can I help you?

I was wondering if Ben was here.

I hadn't seen him several days.

You haven't?

No, why? Should I be worried?

- [suspenseful music] - [Ben grunting]

He left in quite a huff.

Didn't say a word about where he was going.

Let me show you.

- [key clicks] - [ominous music]

[Ben] I'd rather be homeless

than spend one more minute in this house with you!

[Amanda scoffs] Ben, don't be that way.

And then there's this.

And that's the last time I saw him.

Maybe he made good on his promise.

You're welcome to take a look around if you'd like.

That's okay.

I've taken enough of your time.

I just hate it when things go messy and ugly don't you?

You will let me know if and when

you hear from him won't you?

Yes.

I'll show you out.

That's okay, I'll show myself out, thanks.

[insects chittering]

[Calli] Amanda was the last person who saw him.

What do we know about her?

Well, I know she's a successful businesswoman.

- Uh-huh. - And...

well what did you pick up at the party?

I didn't talk to her.

She was locked in on him the entire time.

What do you mean "locked in"?

She was loving the attention that he gave her, right,

but it's all cosplay.

A guy doesn't go to a strip club

thinking the strippers are actually into him.

If he does he's delusional.

[suspenseful music]

Maybe she is.

Delusional?

Yeah.

You said she was a highly successful businesswoman.

Just because you can make a lot of money

does not mean you're playing with a full deck.

No.

[birds chirping]

[Walker] Why did you drag me all the way out here?

I got a computer notification.

Someone's looking into us.

Do you remember that client

I had you look into a couple months ago?

Yeah.

Yeah, well, seems like he's not the golden child

that I thought he was gonna be.

He and some partners, they're trying to blackmail me,

well, us.

- What do they have? - Nothing.

Wait, can they connect me to the bar?

- [suspenseful music] - [James groaning]

Is there a, a photo or a video from the outside?

I mean I, I was wearing a mask, but...

I don't think they have any evidence.

At least none that I know of.

But we can't have them snooping around.

Look, we love each other, we protect each other,

that's a brotherly, sisterly relationship.

All right, so you have plan?

I need your password.

[insects chittering]

Don't make this any harder than it needs to be.

I've been taking good care of you,

washing you, feeding you, entertaining you.

Entertaining me?

If you're gonna be that way...

- [phone beeps] - go ahead, watch.

[ominous music]

Is that Calli's?

Just give me the password to your phone.

[suspenseful music]

Wait, what, what's he's gonna do?

Stop him.

It's up to you.

Password.

[insects chittering]

Give me the password.

Stop him!

[lock clicking]

[door clicks]

[ominous music]

- [suspenseful music] - [keys clacking]

[Harrison] Here ya go.

Thanks.

Find anything?

Just some of this here.

Stuff about her company.

[Harrison] Nothing about her background?

[Calli] Not really.

[Amanda] Times running out.

Okay, okay, okay.

5-7-5-7.

Stop him!

Hold.

Get him out of there.

One moment.

5-7-5-7.

Ah.

[phone unlocks]

What are you doing?

I'm making you looking presentable, silly.

- [computer ringing] - [ominous music]

It's Ben.

[computer ringing]

[computer hums]

- [Calli] Ben? - [Harrison] Yo, hey, man.

I'm, I'm here, we're nervous about you.

Where are you?

That, that doesn't matter.

But I appreciate the concern.

I, I just need some time to figure things out, okay?

[Calli] Are you okay?

Like where did you go?

Did you not hear me?

Leave me alone.

It's not worth it.

I don't want you tracking me down.

I don't wanna be found.

I just wanna move on with the rest of my life, okay?

Goodbye.

[computer beeping]

Ben, what?

Marvelous job.

[hands clapping]

Get him out of there.

Should I, shouldn't I?

You promised.

I'm just kidding.

But just know I can have my friend

go back there anytime.

Any... time.

[Amanda] You can go.

[Calli] He didn't look well.

That can't be right.

[chains clanging]

[suspenseful music]

[Ben grunts]

It looked like a hostage video.

And he refused to tell us where he was.

Maybe he just doesn't wanna be found.

No, he said, "It's not worth it."

That's strange, right?

Like almost like a warning.

What's not worth us finding him?

What else can we do?

- Go to the cops. - [suspenseful music]

- [ominous music] - [insects chirping]

[door shuts]

[glasses clink]

We've had quite a night, haven't we?

I think we deserve this,

[glasses clink]

don't you?

[scoffs] Why are you doing that?

I mean this is Dom.

[phone ringing]

[Amanda sighs]

- [phone clicks] - What is it?

[Walker on phone] I just followed them

to the police station.

[Amanda] No, that, that can't be.

[Walker] Just wait.

What kind of coded message did you send?

You didn't do your job!

They went to the police!

Nothing, nothing, I swear.

Okay?

Went to the cops? I...

This isn't as bad as you think.

Might, might even be beneficial, okay?

If they tell the police

that they've been searching for me, all right,

and I, I told them that, that I didn't wanna be found,

they'll be laughed out the station.

And that, that'll be the reality check

they need to stop their search.

Maybe you're right.

And I'm sorry about the champagne.

Maybe I could have one.

Mmm.

It's good.

[Amanda] Hmm.

I'm sorry.

I've just been so tired and lonely.

Lonely?

But I'm here.

You're in your office working all day.

I spend my days all alone in here... with these.

Maybe we can figure out a way to change that,

and set you free.

- I'll be right back. - [ominous music]

[Ben sighs]

- [door clicks] - [ominous music]

[chains clanging]

I'm sorry you felt so alone.

[chains clanging]

[groans] My leg, my leg.

Sorry, sorry.

[Amanda sighs]

See isn't this nice?

[Amanda sighs]

[birds chirping]

[Ben exhales]

[Ben groaning]

[Ben groaning]

[door opens]

[door shuts]

[Amanda] Ta-dah!

I made you breakfast.

Like a real breakfast, not smoothies.

I thought you deserved it after last night.

I mean we can't keep going on living like this forever.

How will we ever start a life together?

I made your favorite, blackberry brie omelet.

I can't wait to try.

Probably not as good as you could have done but.

It's gonna be nice not to eat like a street person.

That's cute.

Mm, mm.

This is really good.

I normally use a little bit more basil.

[suspenseful music]

But you did a really good job.

It's really nice of you to say.

Uh, I brought some mimosas.

To new beginnings.

New beginnings.

[glasses clinking]

[Ben groans]

Um, sorry.

I'll get it.

[suspenseful music]

I need a phone now.

You don't think I'm stupid enough

to bring a phone in here do you?

Let's go.

You're not gonna make it far.

Maybe I just finish you off now, huh?

Crawl my way out of here.

Ben, you're not a killer.

You're a pleaser, that's why we make such a good team.

Look, we need to figure out a compromise,

so that we quit having these little minor flare ups.

[disorienting music]

You don't think that I wouldn't cover all of my bases

in case you misbehaved, do you?

What did you do?

You didn't respect our promise,

so now I have to call my friend.

Don't, don't.

Please no.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[siren wailing]

[Amanda] Our threats didn't scare them off.

After the bar I swear

I would never do anything like that again.

You promised.

But if what they have comes out I won't give you up.

Uh, I can, I can, um, I'll say that I killed James myself.

I can mount a defense about how he was abusive to you and...

No one's gonna buy that.

The accusations alone could ruin me,

could ruin everything I ever built.

That means I would never be able to help you.

There has to be another way.

I wish there was.

When we pull this off the investigation's

gonna be focused on someone else.

It's not gonna be you, it's not gonna be me.

It'll be the co-conspirator.

[Walker sighs]

You know we have to do this.

For us.

- [Walker sighs] - [dramatic music]

- [insects chirping] - [dog barking]

With the way the police dismissed us the other night

it's lucky that he emailed us

or else I don't think we would have ever found him.

What do you think he wants to do this dinner for anyway?

It's a complete 180 from that phone call.

Well, he seemed to hint that he wanted to apologize,

or explain himself a bit.

I think Amanda really screwed with his head,

which is why I'm making his favorite dinner.

- [ominous music] - [insects chirping]

What time did he say he was coming over again?

[Calli] Any minute.

All right.

You want me to take this trash out?

That'd be great, thanks.

It's right out back.

All right.

- [ominous music] - [insects chirping]

[alarm ringing]

- [Amanda gasps] - [suspenseful music]

[keypad beeping]

I forgot about that damn alarm.

I got it off in time.

Walker, what are you doing?

We're, we're supposed to meet later tonight.

Uh, change of plans.

You're hurt.

Yeah, the girl fought back.

But it's done?

Yeah.

Why don't you go get some sleep?

Yeah.

[insects chirping]

- [police radio chattering] - [siren wailing]

[Calli] It couldn't have been him.

Couldn't have been who?

Ben.

Ben?

My boyfriend.

My, my ex-boyfriend.

Know where we can find him?

No.

He was, um, staying in Marshall Hills...

with his boss.

His boss?

Amanda Roberts.

[Ben] Help!

- [door clicks] - [alarm beeps]

- You're not stupid. - You just lie all the time.

That is the blackmailer!

Then why is he chained to your bed, huh?

He found out about the plan, okay?

He was, he was gonna tell.

Stop lying!

This was never about us.

It was about you and what you want!

He was using me for my money.

He was enabling his friends to steal it from me.

This is so messed up.

It can be fixed.

We can't be fixed!

[brooding music]

[lips smack]

We are who we are.

And you need to let him go.

[laughs] I don't need to do anything.

Open the door.

No.

- Give me the code! - Stop it!

If you're not gonna help me just leave.

Okay, then.

- [gun clicks] - Okay.

Walker.

- Get out of the way! - No.

I said, "Get out of the way!"

- Stop! - [Walker grunting]

- [gun bangs] - [ominous music]

[Walker groaning]

Walker.

[birds chirping]

I didn't mean it.

Sorry, brother.

Sorry.

[dramatic music]

[birds chirping]

[ominous music]

Too bad it had to come to this.

No.

No, you couldn't have.

You left me no choice.

It's on you.

[Ben whimpering]

What did you do?

Tragically Calli and your friend Harrison

were murdered last night in her house.

No, no, no.

- I hate you! - [chains clanging]

[Ben grunting]

Just kill me.

I love you.

I could never hurt you.

But I'd be careful with what you're about to say

'cause you're wanted for two murders.

They're not gonna believe you

just 'cause you got a knife.

You mean the murder weapon with your fingerprints on it?

But I wouldn't just rely on that.

See...

somebody was in the area driving your car

fitting your description, wearing your clothes.

Oh and, last of all, somebody had sent an email

from your email address requesting

that they meet at her house.

[sighs] I don't wanna see you behind bars,

but if I can't have you, no one can.

It's your choice.

You can everything that you've ever dreamed of

or you can spend the rest of your life behind bars.

- [suspenseful music] - [Ben grunting]

Maybe you just need a little bit of time to think.

I can wait.

[car engine humming]

[chains clanging]

[Ben grunting]

- [door clicks] - [birds chirping]

Hello.

Can I help you?

- Amanda Roberts? - Yes.

I'm Detective Fisher.

This is Detective Moreno.

We understand that Ben Howard works for you.

He did.

Why did something happen?

We don't know.

- [chains clanging] - [Ben grunting]

We just have a few questions to ask you.

When was the last time you saw him?

A week ago.

Wednesday, Thursday,

you know the days they kinda blend together.

Is there a problem?

[Detective Fisher] So last week Wednesday or Thursday?

Did something happen?

His girlfriend was attacked

along with another man in Little Five Points last night.

That's horrible.

Do you think he was involved?

We just need to talk to him.

Well, I'm sorry I, I honestly don't know where he is.

- [Ben grunting] - [chains clanging]

So let me ask you, it's a personal question,

but, uh, did you have a relationship with Mr. Howard?

Oh, the pictures.

You must have seen the phone.

Yeah, that wasn't my finest hour.

I, I don't know what came over me.

- [Ben grunting] - [chains clanging]

Yes, we had a brief relationship.

Now, he encouraged me take those pictures

and send them to her.

I think he was trying to make her jealous.

I don't know, I don't know why I let myself

get so used like that.

- [Ben grunting] - [chains clanging]

Was he abusive?

Not exactly.

I would say he's more, um, domineering.

But if you think that I think it's possible

he could kill two people.

Not two, just one.

The girlfriend survived.

[suspenseful music]

Oh, what a relief.

And we never said that he killed anyone, ma'am.

We're just asking questions.

I'm sorry, I wish I could help.

I don't wanna hurt you.

But if you love me,

I'm gonna give you all the love in the world.

[ominous music]

[birds chirping]

I'm sorry if I caused you extra pain yesterday.

It's okay.

I understand the position I put you in.

[ominous music]

So?

It's perfect.

[Amanda laughs]

That makes me so happy to hear.

You know I worked and I worked on this.

I, I don't think I can eat anymore, though...

I'm full.

You, you've hardly eaten anything.

[chains clanging]

Not exerting any energy.

Well, when you start to behave a bit,

we can see about getting you some exercise.

Why me?

What's that?

Why did you pick me?

[laughs] I didn't pick you, silly, you picked me.

You approached me, you romanced me,

and then you won my heart.

You really won my heart.

And now I'm gonna win yours.

I know he's here.

I saw the brie omelet in the trash.

Yeah, well, you're gonna be arrested

because the police are on their way.

Good, I'm counting on it.

And when they get here I'm gonna have them

search every single room in this house.

You wouldn't like that would you?

What's behind that door?

What are you doing?

I'm letting the police know that it's a false alarm.
