It must have fallen out of my bag

to scare ya. Some folks get
a little nervous when a cop car

how that is. Tell me,

we're even. Now I'll fix us
a little drink and you can tell
me all about it. What? No. Please, look,

Jessica Klint? Yes? Can we come
in, ma'am? [dog barking

take a while? I-I really need
to get to work. Ma'am, can you tell us
where you were last night between eight
and 10 o'clock? I was here.
At home, sick. What's this
all about? It's about your
father, ma'am. My father? He was killed...
last night... in a robbery. When was the last time
you saw your father? What? Um, I-I
don't know. Last time you
talked to him? [crying] Um, look, could
you please, please leave? I really just need to
be alone right now. Just a few more
questions, ma'am. [sobbing loudly] We'll come back. [crying] Here's, uh,
my card... you need to
give me a call. [crying] [suspenseful music] [phone ringing] Hello? <i> Hey. Um, did you
hear.. about dad?</i> The cops were just
here. Bummer, right? <i> Allie! He- he
was our dad.</i> Listen, I didn't
like the poor bastard when he was alive,
I'm not gonna pretend to care about him
now that he's dead. [sniffling]
You're so cold. Look, you didn't
tell the police anything about
last night, did you? Uh, no. Um, no, no, I told
them I was home sick. Wonderful. I really
need to go. So busy. I'll talk to you later,
darling. Bye bye. [suspenseful music] [exhales sharply] [indistinct
conversations] Jess.. I'm
really sorry. Believe it or not, I
really liked the old man. Look, I really don't
want to hear it. Jess, please. You know what? Thanks to
you my last conversation with my father was
a fight over money. I just.. just
leave me alone. Miss Klint?
Jessica, right? I'm sorry, it's
difficult for me to tell the difference
between you two. Yeah, what do you
want, detective? Uh, just a
couple questions. Um, let's see.. you said that you
were sick on Thursday. How did you know
on Wednesday that you were going to
be sick on Thursday? What?
I-I didn't. Okay, well, we talked to
your husband and he said that you asked him
Wednesday to watch Danny so I'm kind of
wondering how you knew. I-I was gonna go to the
movies Thursday with my friend, Maddie,
and so I asked Lars to watch Danny and
then when I got sick I-I figured we should
just stick to the plan. Do you think
that I...? Oh, these are just
routine questions. Whenever there's a
murder in the family we have to, uh,
check in on everyone. Now, uh, one
last question. The maid,
her name was..? Maria. Maria... Yes.
Thank you. [laughs] Now she
said the last time you and your father
saw each other you argued
over money. Mind telling me what
that money was for? Um, I was gonna
get a new car. Mine's kind of
beaten up and old. I guess you won't have
that problem anymore, will ya? How much do you and your
sister stand to inherit? I don't know. My sister's not
going to get anything. Dad cut her out of the
will a long time ago, so... Is that right? That entire bundle,
it's just going to you? Look, I honestly
don't know, detective. Okay, but last time
you saw your father he threatened to cut
you out as well, right? That was the
argument that... Daddy always threatened
when he was angry. Uh-huh. So you
don't think he ever got around
to doing it? I don't think that he
ever meant to, okay? I think it was
an empty threat. Is that all,
detective? That's it
for now. [suspenseful music] [car door

didn't do it, did you? What? No! Come on, you know
I was in Mexico. Well, then you have
nothing to worry about. Come on, Allie! I
don't have an alibi. What do you want
to do, Jess? Hmm? Do you want to tell
the police the truth and get us both
arrested for smuggling? No... Well, then don't be such

everything okay? [knocking] Gracias, mija.
Hello, miss. Wait one minute,
I'll get my shawl. -Yeah, sure. Maria, is
everything okay? You seemed so
upset on the phone. I saw you. What do
you mean? That night your
papa was murdered, I saw you in your car
going around the block. Maria, no,
that's ridiculous. Look, I don't
know what you saw, but it
wasn't me. Yes... that car
right there. There was someone
in it with you... before your papa went
out to take his walk. I was coming home
from the grocery store and I saw you get out of
the car on the next block. I was across
the street. Your car
started smoking and you got out and
looked at the motor. And I found this there
after you drove away. From where your
sweater got caught on the car when you
looked at the motor. No, Maria, listen.
You have to believe me. It wasn't me. Miss... It doesn't matter
what I believe, what matters is
what the police think. So then why are
you telling me? Your father, he was a
very cheap old man. [sighs] I work for
him for 30 years. He didn't pay me
well when he was alive. I don't expect him to
now that he's dead. But you... you're going to be a
very rich lady now. [car engine] [door opening

need to go to the police. Allie's setting
you up. Even if that was true,

where I was that night. I mean, Allie
and I made a deal when she helped
me save Danny. I have news for you.
You're not gonna see much of your son
from a jail cell. What do you think
is going to happen if I actually do admit
to going to Mexico? I have no idea what I
was smuggling back and... besides, you know, the
police aren't going to believe me if I
change my story now. I don't think
you have a choice. Honestly, I think you
should go and tell them what you were doing
the night of the murder. What, and get
arrested for smuggling? Smuggling's better
than murder. Ugh. Either way,
I lose Danny. -Oh, honey. If it's okay with you,
I'll skip the formalities and get right
to the bequests. Maria, he leaves you
10 thousand dollars. He set up a
trust for Danny, which, Jessica, you
and I will oversee. Mm-hmm. Allesandra... Oh, don't tell me
the old bastard actually
included me. He leaves you your
mother's pearl necklace, which he says is already
in your possession. And the bulk
of the estate, including various
properties and securities, goes to Jessica. It comes to
something in excess of 10 million
dollars. I told you the old
man was a prick leaving me
just a necklace. I can't believe you hated
him enough to kill him. Jessica...
I didn't. Think what you want,
Jess, but just remember, you made

karma to break a promise. ♪ That's some

me, alright? I was the one in
Mexico and I told her everything that
happened there. Well, is
there something you can verify..
something that happened that you didn't tell
her about in Mexico? I don't know.
She told me... she had me tell her
every single detail. Okay? I didn't understand
why at the time. There's got to

something. Listen, there was
a police officer that stopped me on my

it was probably around the same time my dad
was being murdered. Anyway, he stopped
me to give me my- or Allie's
ID back. And then he gave me
his phone number, he told me he'd show me
around Mexico sometime and I didn't
tell her that. Okay. Does the police
officer have a name? Um, God, I didn't think
I was going to call him. Um, he was tall, he
had a southern accent. His name was, um,
Bob.. Bob something. Bob? And, uh, your sister
doesn't know anything about this guy? No. Uh, she does know that
an officer stopped me, but she doesn't know
that he asked me out. I never told
her that detail. [car engine] [car door opening

a couple things up. ♪ Miss Banks, uh, both
you and your sister say that you were in Mexico
at the time of the murder. Now I have
Miss Klint's version of events
that night. Mmm. But I'm wondering..
is there anything that you
could tell me? Maybe something that
happened down there that she doesn't
know about? Hmm. Let
me think. Um, well, there
was a rude waiter, but I think I told
her about that. What about when
you crossed back over the border? Um, a police
officer stopped me. He returned
my ID. But I told her
about that, too. And this policeman, he,
uh, do anything unusual? Unusual? No. Unless you mean
his asking me out on a date, but I
don't think there's anything unusual
about that. He gave me
his number. Told me he wanted to
show me around sometime. You know, it's so funny
that you brought him up because I just got
off the phone with Bob. That's his name.
Bob Smalley. I'm going to take
him up on his offer. We're going out
this weekend. There's just something
about policemen that I find
so appealing. Thank you for
your time. How did you
know all of that? Don't be
silly, Jessica. [door slamming] Detective: So
much for that. I don't know how
she could have known all of that. There's
gotta be some sort of way to prove that it
was me and not her. Oh, yeah, well, When you
figure it out you let me know. Until then, you might
want to think about getting yourself
a good lawyer. What, you're
going to arrest me? One of you is lying
about that night. You have
the motive. The money? Yeah. The money. What, no, detective,
come on. Look at me. Do you honestly
believe that I could kill
my own dad? You know, some people
probably don't think you're the type, but
one thing you learn being a detective..
everybody's the type. [car unlocking] [door closing] [gasps] Quiet. I
have a knife. I'm going to
remove my hand. Just don't scream. [breathing heavily] Sorry to scare
you that way, but I need to
talk to you. And I knew you'd
run the other way if you saw
it was me. You got me pretty bad
with the mace earlier. Look, there's some things
we gotta talk about. Man, where
do I start? That whole blackmail
thing in Texas, your sister set that
whole thing up. She cancelled your
reservation herself and she told me
just how to play it. She told me just
what you'd like. The thing is, though, she
promised me some money and now she's trying
to back out of paying. I figure with the
new developments, I got more chance
getting paid by you if I help
you out. Okay, look, I'll
pay you the money if you help me,
okay, but I just, I just need to
know why did- why did she want
you to blackmail me? She knew you didn't
have the money to pay me and that you'd do
anything to save your kid. That accidental meeting
with your friend at the restaurant was no
coincidence either. She told me she
only wanted to make up with you
and that the one way to do that was to get
you to come to her. That was the purpose
of the blackmail, to get you to come
to her for money. So my husband
never hired you. No. I never even
met your husband. He didn't have a thing
to do with any of it. It was
all Allie. She put an ad online
for an actor wanted and I answered.
Listen, hey, listen. I'm not a bad guy, but
I gotta get out of town. When I agreed to
help your sister, I didn't think anyone
was going to get hurt. I didn't know
about this whole murder thing
until after. You helped
murder my dad? No! No way. I helped
her with her alibi. I planted the video
cameras in the two hats. Video cameras?
In the hats? That's what I
was smuggling. No, no, no, no. There was
no smuggling. It was just a way for her
to be two places at once. So she had an alibi
and I had nothing. And that's how
she knew... That's how she knew
about everything. Even the things
that I didn't tell her. Oh my, God. You know what?
Like it or not, you are working
for me now. Okay, that's all the
money I have right now. I'll pay you the
rest after you come with me
to the police. Whoa! No!
No police. Okay, then. Okay. Look,
I'll help you, I just can't
go to the cops. I'm still
on probation. And Allie still has
the original of this. It's the tape she
made of that little blackmail episode
in the park. But that's perfect.
That's-that's the proof that at least part
of my story is true. Sorry, I can't
let you have it. It could land me
in jail again, this time
for blackmail. But that was all part
of her setup. Right? You were just
acting, Harry. It was still
blackmail. That tape doesn't
really prove much anyway. Not about
the murder. Listen, if Allie still
trusts you I need you to get something about
the murder on tape. Okay? Just get
her to admit it. It can't hurt to try.
I'm seeing her soon. But like I said,
it'll cost you. [sighs] Okay. Okay, I'll get
you the money. I even know where I
can get one of those nanny cams on
short notice. Harry... thank
you so much. Listen, thank you. Thank you so much
for all of this. I knew you were a
better person than this. ♪ I really appreciate
this, Maddie. I hope you're not too
late for your date. Oh, pfft, it's not a
problem. Just a sec. Let me grab it
from upstairs. This was
really helpful getting me feedback
on my listings until I found
out it's illegal. Okay, great.
Where's the camera? It's in its eyes. It actually records
straight to an SD card. Perfect. Thank you,
Maddie. Yeah, you
got it. Harry: Come
on, let's go. Are you sure you
can trust this guy? No... I don't really
have another choice. Um, listen, I-
I got this. It's a recording of that
whole blackmail thing in the park. Okay. Harry: Hey,
come on. Okay,
here it is. You'll bring it by my
house when you're done? Okay. [car engine] [door opening

to buy you something. A little gift. That? Does this look

break, Allie. I thought
it was cute. Then you
keep it. Come on, Allie... He's cute. I thought you could
name him after me. So why did you have to
see me tonight, hmm? If it's about the money,
I don't have it yet. No, baby, I
missed you. You've been
so busy lately. Yes, I have had a
lot on my mind. Yeah, this murder
thing, I know. Oh, you do,
do you? Hmm? No, not
all of it. You never told me who
was in on it with you. Well, I already told you
more than you should know. But you're just
such a damn good lay. [sighs] What
the hell. What game shall we
play tonight, hmm? I think good
cop, bad cop. This time, I'll
play the bad cop. [suspenseful music] Thank you so
much for coming. I knew you'd
believe me. Actually,
I don't. Honestly, this
whole thing sounds pretty farfetched. Fake blackmail,
cameras in hats. I know, but it's
the truth, okay? And I can prove it
to you and I will. He'll-he'll
be here soon. I don't think
he's coming. No, please. It's late. Could you
just wait? I... I'm sorry. [phone ringing] Hold on,
this is him. Hi, Jess. I guess by
now you've figured out I wasn't
coming over. Sorry, but I felt the
need to leave town fast. Oh, and, uh, thanks for
that money you gave me, by the way. It's gonna
come in real handy. Honestly, I don't think
your plan to frame Allie would have worked.
No one would believe that story
we concocted. But, hey, it was
great knowing you. And I hope you
get away with it. Oh, and here's
some footage of us from last night to
remember me by. Oh, God, no. That-that
wasn't last night. And everything
he said is a lie. Everything
is a lie. So you didn't pay him
to frame your sister? No! I-I did pay him,
but it wasn't like that. Please,
believe me. I- Look, that video was
actually from Texas and it proves actually that
I was telling the truth. No, what it does is it
proves you're lying. It proves that you
and him were in on it from the beginning
to kill your father and frame
your sister. No. I just...
I just.. let me think.
I just, um... There's
another tape. Oh. It was- Maddie made
it in the park of the blackmail
and, I mean, it corroborates my
story, you know. I left it with my

house right now and... You have the right
to remain silent. If I were you, I'd take
advantage of that right. [police sirens

It's not my doing. If the charges are

that you were the one blackmailing me
and I didn't realize that she was
setting us both up. I guess I
deserve that. The way I've treated
you since you left me. No. I'm not
proud of it. You know, Allie
predicted my every single stupid move and I just-
I don't understand why. It's simple, Jess.
For the money. No, Lars, she
doesn't inherit at all. She does. If you're convicted of
your father's murder you can't profit from
it. That's the law. So in that case, since
Allie wasn't specifically disinherited she'd
likely get everything. She'd be what's called
a pretermitted heir. If you're convicted,
she will get your whole share
of the estate. Okay, okay, well
that's it, right? That's her
motive, okay, we have to go
tell the police. Please, go tell
the police that. It would help if you
had some kind of proof. Right now,
Allie has an alibi for the time
of the murder. Wait... There's something. It's not much,
but it might help. There's the tape that
Allie made in the park. Listen, Allie denies
the whole blackmail thing ever happened.
Right? So at least it's
some sort of proof that she was
lying about that. Where's the tape? Maddie has it. What? I'm just
concerned... It's obvious Allie's
in this with someone who knows you
pretty well. Not Maddie. Who else, Jess? From what you've told
me, she's urged you to fall into every
one of Allie's traps. To go have sex
at the conference. To go to
Allie for help, but then to tell
the policeman that you were lying
about being home sick. Well, first
thing's first. We have to
get you bail. [click] She committed the
most heinous of crimes. The murder of her own
father just for money. She clearly has no
conscience, your honor. She's capable
of anything. Also, the police, in
searching her residence, found a faked passport
and two tickets to Brazil for herself
and her son. She's clearly a strong
flight risk and I strongly propose for a
motion to deny bail. What? no, there
were no passports. She's lying. That, or Allie
planted something. Your Honor, my
client has strong ties to the community.
She's a good mother with a good job. She's been framed
for this murder. Please, save
it for the trial. Judge, I personally will
take responsibility to see she remains
in town until her trial. Owing to the fact that
she had airplane tickets in her possession, she
is clearly a flight risk. I am
denying bail. [bang] You have to get

few more copies, huh? That ridiculous
blackmail tape doesn't prove
a thing. So Jess slept with
some guy who tried to blackmail her

Maybe not. Are you willing to

all the talking. Fine. Allesandra. Maddie. I don't think we have
much more to discuss. That tape you have
doesn't prove anything. Your little blackmail
scheme, your attempt to frame Allie
and me won't work. Give the tape
to Jess... if she'll even
see you, that is. [footsteps and
door opening] Jessica, wow, you're
quite dressed up today. What's the
occasion? I'm Allie,
you fool. What, you were in here with
your wife the whole time, you didn't even
recognize her? Idiot. I just hope you didn't
say anything stupid. Actually, he did. He confessed to
murdering poor Harry. They didn't
have any proof! Well, we
do now. Right, detective? Oh, yeah. Thank you so much.
You were great. You got it,
sweetheart. And thank
you, detective, for convincing the DA
to let me out to do this. Well, like
you said, we can't go putting
the wrong people in jail. Come on, put your
hands behind your back. Come on. Counselor,
stay right there. You stupid bitch!
You got everything. We set the
whole thing up and then you get
10 million dollars? Give me a
break, Allie. You put me
through hell. You're a greedy
woman and you deserve everything that
you're getting. [exhales sharply] "Can we have some,
too?" they cried. "Of course you can.
Everyone can have some". The children jumped onto
the truck and they rode off into the sunset and
lived happily ever after. Okay, buddy, it's
time for you to go to... ..sleep. ♪ I love you. ♪ Hey. Hey. So how's he dealing
with the fact his father's
going to prison? It's hard on him,
but he'll be okay. I'm going to
make sure of that. What? What is it? No, it's just the
way you said that, for a second you
sounded like your sister. Yeah, it's
funny, you know. In the past, Allie was
always the tough one, the one with
street smarts and I was the
risk averse one. Desperate times call
for desperate measures, right? Well, if you, uh,
ever need a hand I'd like to be
there for you. I think that's
really sweet, detective. But right now I just need
to be alone for a while. You know, I've got
bigger priorities. Well, you need me you
know where to find me. Yeah. Thanks for
the coffee. ♪ [footsteps
