1:05[music]
1:49Are you okay?
1:52I heard a sound.
1:56Did you hear something?
2:00[screaming]
2:07Get
2:20[panting]
2:27out of here.
2:37[music]
2:57This is one of the best neighborhoods
2:59[music] in Chicago. It's got great
3:01shopping and restaurants and the
3:03schools, huh? They are some of the best
3:06in the city.
3:06I don't have kids.
3:09Well, then there is plenty of time to
3:12shop and eat out.
3:14Like I said, this is a steal. The
3:16owners, they've already, you know,
3:18lowered their asking price and they are
3:21super motivated.
3:23Yeah, I bet they are in this market.
3:25Well,
3:27make an offer. You know, come in [music]
3:30low. There's [clears throat] plenty of
3:32wiggle room.
3:33Look, I don't want to waste your time.
3:34I'm uh I'm not about to make an offer on
3:36a property that'll be in foreclosure
3:37soon. I'm just checking it out. I'll see
3:40if I'm going to want to [music] make a
3:41bid.
3:42Did your homework, huh?
3:45Well, the owners haven't hit bottom yet,
3:48and for all we know, the market hasn't
3:49either.
3:50I'll take my [music] chances.
3:54Well, if you change your mind, you
3:55[music] uh
3:56I got your card.
4:00[music]
4:09Hey, Maddie.
4:10Hey. How'd it go?
4:12You know, could have been worse.
4:13Five people came through. None of them
4:15were buying, though. They already
4:16smelled foreclosure.
4:18So, how could it have been worse?
4:19Four people could have come through. But
4:22I gave somebody my card, so you know, if
4:23the market revives, then
4:24Oh, it'll revive. Just maybe not in our
4:26lifetime.
4:30How did it go there?
4:31I made it through and an exceptionally
4:33steamy romance novel and got a good
4:36start on the sequel. Those Victorians,
4:38they sure do know how to um be
4:41inventive.
4:42Well, don't worry about it. Okay, it's
4:43going to pick up. So,
4:44Oh, it'll pick up. Just maybe not.
4:47Okay, you know what? Thanks, Eeyore.
4:48Bye-bye now.
4:50Good night.
4:52Many
5:20[music]
5:33Mr. Adams.
5:35Yeah. Yeah. I got a good start on it
5:38today.
5:40Well, the lacquer looks good. Really
5:41brings out the grain. I think you'd be
5:42pleased.
5:44Yeah. Well, you can come by anytime
5:46tomorrow. I'll be on site all day.
5:49Uh, you'll have to talk to the other
5:51trades about their work. I just uh just
5:53focus on my own.
5:56Okay. You too.
6:34[panting]
6:44Hey babe,
6:49aren't you making dinner?
6:52What?
6:53Thought you were going to make dinner.
6:56Uh,
6:57let's go out tonight. It's been forever
6:59since we went out.
7:01How'd it go today?
7:02Oh, well, you know, some days you
7:04conquered a blank page and some days it
7:07conquers you.
7:09Francois, you're a writer who isn't
7:11writing and therefore isn't selling. And
7:14I haven't moved a property in 4 months.
7:19That's why we don't eat out.
7:21Well, put out on plastic.
7:23We don't have disposable income.
7:27We don't have income.
7:31You know, I'll just I'll make something.
7:34No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't do
7:36that. I'll feel guilty.
8:07You You think it's a coincidence Sudoku
8:09became really popular just as the
8:10economy tanked [music] and suddenly
8:12everyone has all this free time on their
8:14hands?
8:16I don't think so.
8:18What you doing?
8:20Tweaking the website.
8:28I look fat.
8:30It's the internet. It adds 10 pounds.
8:32I thought that was television.
8:33That's the same difference.
8:34Liar. Girl, you are in the wrong
8:36business. You should be designing web
8:38pages.
8:39This This is just cut and paste.
8:40Yeah, but it's knowing what to cut and
8:42paste.
8:43Well, my cousin, she's a web designer
8:44and her business is down, too. So,
8:46how encouraging.
8:49You know what? There is only one known
8:51cure for my anxiety. And my biological
8:53clock says it's [music] time for lunch.
8:56Can I bring you something back?
8:57No, I'm good.
9:15What did you forget?
9:17Uh, nothing as far as I can tell.
9:21Oh, I'm sorry. Um,
9:24hi,
9:26I'm Lauren Baker.
9:28Sean Crawford.
9:30Oh, what can I do for you, Mr. Crawford.
9:33Well, you can start by calling me Sean.
9:37Oh, what can I do for you, Sean?
9:40Tell me you're a realtor.
9:43I'm a realtor.
9:45Then I've come to the right place.
9:49Are you buying or selling?
9:51Selling.
9:52Okay. In commercial or residential?
9:54Uh, residential.
9:56Great.
9:58Is it an apartment or a house? It's a
10:01house.
10:02Okay. And the address?
10:05153 Renwood?
10:09That's a Burridge address.
10:11You know your market.
10:16Uh, is it a single family?
10:19Yes.
10:21Um, you're going to need the specs and
10:24there's a lot of them. It would probably
10:27be easier if I just showed you the
10:29house.
10:31Okay. Okay. When would be a good time,
10:36Mr. Crawford?
10:38Sean, I'm a realtor. It's always a good
10:41time to see a Burridge house.
10:59This is it.
11:02I just wanted you to get the full impact
11:04of the curb appeal.
11:09Yeah, curb appeal and then some.
11:12All right, follow me. Mark in the back.
11:38Wow,
11:40I get that a lot.
11:41Yeah, I bet.
11:48My sister and I inherited the house when
11:49our parents died in an accident two
11:51years ago.
11:52Oh, I'm sorry.
11:54I'd like to say it was something
11:55tragically romantic. You know, caught in
11:58an avalanche scaling Everest, but no, it
12:01was just a stupid head-on collision on
12:04the Ryan Expressway. Drunk driver going
12:06the wrong direction.
12:08That's terrible.
12:10Yeah, especially since dad was the drunk
12:12driver. But
12:15Rebecca and I don't live here anymore. I
12:17have my own apartment. She's out in LA.
12:20We would have sold the place two years
12:21ago, but the estate was all tied up in
12:23litigation thanks to the accident.
12:29Did you grow up here?
12:31If you can call living with two selfish,
12:33neurotic, insanely narcissistic parents
12:36growing up.
12:40It's a morirano
12:42Venetian glass.
12:45[snorts]
12:45Yeah, I I knew that.
12:50All the zany stuff in the house is mom
12:52and dad's. They love to travel to exotic
12:55places. You know, anything to escape the
12:57responsibilities of parenthood.
13:01I'd like to say I have a lot of fond
13:03memories of this place, but I don't. I
13:06don't feel connected to it at all.
13:09Well, that's too bad, cuz this is a
13:11beautiful house.
13:16I dropped them off here over 3 months
13:18ago. They were going to hike south
13:20[music] for 6 weeks and then double back
13:21and contact me to come and pick them up.
13:24But it's been over a week now and I
13:25haven't heard anything from them. Well,
13:27it's not unusual for there to be delays
13:29on the trail. It's [music] long haul.
13:32Yeah, but see with them it just doesn't
13:34seem right. Doesn't seem right at all.
13:37If anything did happen to them on the
13:38trail, we could be searching a while.
13:43I'll help.
13:46However long it takes. They're out there
13:49somewhere.
13:51They got to be.
13:54Our inheritance was substantial. So,
13:57we're not looking to make a killing.
13:59We'd like to price a house
14:01competitively.
14:02I understand, but this is a pretty
14:05special property. I mean, houses like
14:07this rarely come on the market. And as
14:09your realtor, I would recommend that you
14:11Who says you're a realtor?
14:14Oh,
14:16I thought that
14:18I guess until we sign an agreement, I'm
14:20not.
14:21Why don't we discuss it over dinner? My
14:25treat. Well, it's the least I [music]
14:27can do since I interrupted your lunch to
14:30show you the house.
14:32And
14:35you're a very attractive woman. I'd like
14:37to get to know you better.
14:41Look, um,
14:44I have a boyfriend. We live together.
14:50But you're tempted.
14:53Sure. I mean, you're [music] you're
14:55pretty darn attractive yourself, and
14:58this house represents a huge potential
15:00[music] commission. So
15:02Oh, so you would consider sleeping with
15:05me to get the listing? [music] I mean it
15:06might would it work?
15:10It might.
15:15You know, uh Oscar Wild, [music] he once
15:18said that he could resist everything but
15:20temptation,
15:23but I can't.
15:25And [music] you know, I got to look
15:27myself in the mirror.
15:29Well, from where I'm standing, [music]
15:31that sounds like an enjoyable
15:33experience.
15:36[music]
15:36You get my point.
15:39Unfortunately. Yeah.
15:49Look, I'd really like this listing,
15:51Sean,
15:53and I think I would do a terrific job.
15:56Have your card.
16:02Well,
16:04let me know.
16:54[music]
16:59Morning. Morning, Maddie.
17:02I'm mad at you.
17:04Mad at me? Why?
17:05For holding out on me? I thought we were
17:07BFFs.
17:08What are you talking about,
17:10Francois?
17:11What about Francois?
17:12Why didn't you tell me he's been
17:13cheating on you?
17:15What? Why else would he be buying you
17:17roses?
17:21Oh.
17:24Oh,
17:29it's not from Francois.
17:32You can't blame a guy for trying.
17:35What guy?
17:37Our new client. You got a listing?
17:39[laughter]
17:41Oh, boy. Did I get a listing? I can't
17:44believe it.
17:49We believe that the price point on the
17:51house. So, it's is realistic. It's
17:53getable. I mean, like I said, houses
17:55like this rarely come on the market.
17:57It's a unique property and it'll take a
18:00unique buyer, but they're out there.
18:04Okay.
18:06I'll have to run the numbers by Rebecca,
18:08but I'm good with it.
18:11Uh, no ads, no public notices. You know,
18:16in this neighborhood, it's important to
18:17be discreet.
18:19Oh, yes. Um, buyers in this price range
18:21rarely read ads and they prefer to work
18:25through realtors
18:26and don't show on Tuesdays. That's when
18:28the caretaker comes.
18:30Yeah, got it.
18:33Excuse me.
18:36Hello.
18:37Yes.
18:38Do you have any idea what the question's
18:39going to be?
18:40I know. I keep calculating it in my
18:41head. It's like the decimal's in the
18:43wrong place.
19:33That's right.
19:34Trust [music] me, it's an amazing
19:35location.
19:37Okay. Let us know if you do.
19:39No. No. We can't give you the exact
19:41address without buyer interest. The
19:43client wants to keep it confidential.
19:45Yeah. No, I I agree. Just find us a
19:48lucky buyer.
19:51Okay.
19:52Yeah, you do.
19:55Wow, there is a lot of hungry agents out
19:57there. Yeah, if only they had some
20:00qualified and interested clients.
20:02Oh, come on. We've only been at this a
20:04week. Tell me, when was the last time
20:06that you saw a house of that quality in
20:09that neighborhood come on the market? I
20:13never I understand that the rich people
20:16out there have a lot less money than
20:18they used to, just like the rest of us,
20:19but they're still rich.
20:22We'll find a buyer.
20:24Well, you know what? There is only one
20:25known cure for my anxiety.
20:28Do you want some company?
20:29What? You're coming with me? You're
20:31buying your lunch now?
20:32Oh, unlike you. I've got some hope for
20:35my economic future.
20:38If that is my mother, tell her I've
20:39already gone to lunch.
20:42In the loop. This is Lauren.
20:45Yeah, that's right.
20:48Yes. Yes, it is still available.
20:53Well, uh what time works best for you?
20:56Oh, 3:00.
20:58Yeah, that that's perfect. Okay. Is uh
21:01this your cell number?
21:03All right. Okay, then I will text you
21:05the address.
21:07Uh-huh. Yeah. Okay. I'll see you there.
21:13That was a Mr. Ahmad Kashan secretary.
21:16Apparently, he is very interested in our
21:19latest listing.
21:20Which agency?
21:22Oh, no. It's not an agency. He was
21:24referred to us by the Saudi consulate.
21:26That uh hairbrained idea of mine, I
21:28think you called it. Oh my god, that's a
21:32double commission. [laughter]
21:34Well, he hasn't bought it yet. He's just
21:36looking. Oh, he's buying it [music] even
21:38if I have to sleep with him. What? Oh,
21:40you are the scruples half of the team
21:41girl.
21:49That is a
21:50morano.
21:51Very original.
21:53Are they uh selling the house furnished?
21:56Well, that's negotiable.
21:57And the price, it's negotiable.
21:59Uh, up to a point. I don't think I have
22:02to tell you how special this house is.
22:03You're not going to find another one
22:04like it.
22:06Are there others interested?
22:08Of course.
22:11Show me more.
22:13Great.
22:22Sean.
22:23Hi, this is Lauren. Hey, I got some good
22:26news.
22:27We got an offer.
22:28All righty. That was fast.
22:30Yeah, he's offering 10% below your
22:33asking price.
22:34Huh?
22:35Well, but but listen, it's cash.
22:38You're kidding me.
22:39No, he's motivated. He's [music] uh the
22:41new Saudi consult. So, he's moving with
22:44his family from Riad. And so, [music] he
22:46needs to move quickly. And uh you know
22:48what? He'll even buy the furniture.
22:50Well, if it's a cash transaction,
22:52escrow will be a breeze. We can move
22:54fast.
22:56Should we counter?
22:58Well, you know, ultimately that's up to
22:59you. But, uh I [music] wouldn't be too
23:01aggressive. If he's the real deal, he's
23:04going to be the perfect buyer.
23:06Let me talk to Rebecca. See what she
23:08thinks.
23:08Okay. All right,
23:15Maddie. Hey, are you sitting down?
23:26M.

24:32This way.
24:42Got a girl.

25:45Good girl.
26:03Department dispatch
26:06location. [music]
26:21Dental X-ray should tell us in a few
26:22days if it's them.
26:26It's them.
26:29I know it's them.
26:35They've been out there a month or two at
26:36least.
26:38and coroner will determine approximately
26:40when.
26:43Listen, uh
26:45when he does determine an approximate
26:47[music] time of death, you're going to
26:49be asked to account for your whereabouts
26:50at that time.
26:53Just giving you a heads up.
26:56Yeah, I understand.
26:59It's been a long time since anything
27:00like this happened on the trail. Never
27:02on my watch, that's for sure.
27:18Hey.
27:19Hi, Sean. I'm here with your attorney.
27:21[music]
27:22Good morning, Mr. Crawford.
27:23How's it look?
27:25We're in great shape. The title couldn't
27:26be cleaner.
27:27Fantastic. I'm at the house taking
27:29inventory. I should have a price on
27:31[music] the furniture by tomorrow.
27:32Ask a fair one. He can afford it. So,
27:35we're still on target amigo.
27:36Should be. Things move fast when there's
27:38no loan to process.
27:39I'll have Rebecca book her flight.
27:41[music]
27:42Yeah. I'm sorry that she has to fly out
27:43for closing. It's the law.
27:45It's not a problem. And listen, I'll
27:47have her fly in the night before. Let's
27:48go out and celebrate
27:50on me. [music] Bring Maddie, Lauren, and
27:53your boyfriend.
27:54Thank you. That's a great idea.
27:56I appreciate the offer, Mr. Crawford,
27:57but I have a late meeting that night.
28:00Got to go. I'll talk to you both later.
28:10Hello.
28:14Can I help you?
28:15I'm the caretaker. Tom,
28:20of course, Tom. Tom Cross. Hey, it's me,
28:24Sean.
28:26Sean,
28:29I barely recognize you. Hey, it's my uh
28:32retro hippie look.
28:33And how long's it been?
28:3610 15 years at least. Ever since you
28:38went off to prep school, I guess. I was
28:40a kid then, Tom. I grew up. I guess so.
28:44Man, I I remember you and Jimmy kicking
28:47soccer balls out in this drive like it
28:49was yesterday.
28:51Hey, I thought you came on Tuesday.
28:53Usually had to switch things around this
28:55week.
28:57So, what are you doing here?
29:00We're selling the place.
29:01Selling?
29:02Yeah. I I was going to contact you when
29:04things were finalized.
29:09Makes sense. Houses were meant to be
29:12lived in.
29:13Exactly.
29:15So, how's the family?
29:17Well, uh, Jimmy's still here in Chicago.
29:20Has his own place, but he keeps in touch
29:22with the old man. I'll tell him you're
29:24in town. You two can have a beer and
29:26catch up.
29:28Sounds great.
29:30Uh, speaking of beer, it's 5:00
29:33somewhere. Why don't you come in? You
29:36and I can have a beer and catch up. Uh,
29:40I don't know.
29:44Got a lot of work to do.
29:45Yeah, but you're working for me right
29:47now.
29:50I guess I am.
29:55Where is it on the list? [music]
30:05[music]
30:12You kind of have to be there.
30:13There she is.
30:16[music]
30:21[music]
30:26Everybody, this is Rebecca.
30:28Hi.
30:29Hi.
30:29Hi.
30:31Maddie.
30:32Hi.
30:33Hi.
30:37So, you recovered from your flight?
30:39Almost. I had a long soaky bath, but I
30:42could use some of this.
30:45So, you must be the awesome realtor Sean
30:47keeps raving about. Oh, well, uh, it's
30:51easy to be awesome when you're selling a
30:54property as attractive as yours. It is a
30:56pretty amazing place.
30:57Do you make it back to Chicago often?
30:59Not if I can help it. [laughter]
31:01What part of LA are you in?
31:02Um, the hills.
31:04Oh, are you near to Nicholls Canyon? I
31:06have a friend from college who lives
31:08there.
31:09Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty near. Oh, yeah.
31:12So, what about you, Frederick?
31:15I'm sorry. I am so add when it comes to
31:19names.
31:20What do you do?
31:21I'm a writer.
31:22Wow. What have you written?
31:23I'm best known for The Fifth Impairment.
31:27It's a novel. It did pretty well a few
31:29years ago.
31:31He's being modest. It was a bestseller.
31:34That is so awesome.
31:37Yeah, but that was then and this is now.
31:39I'm working on a new novel.
31:41Well, you have to let me know when it's
31:42done. I would love to read it. I would
31:44love to read them both.
31:48[music]
31:53Well, tomorrow is a big day. Here he
31:57goes. So, let's make tonight a big
32:00night.
32:03Cheers. Cheers.
32:06[music]
32:12[music]
32:18Are you sure?
32:20Yeah. Yeah. One of us needs to be
32:22brighteyed and bushy tailed in the
32:23morning.
32:25Thanks again for a fun night.
32:31I'll see you both tomorrow.
32:34Bye. Bye. Bye.
32:39[music]
32:48They seem to be hitting it off.
32:50Yeah. And then some.
32:54[music]
32:56Fruis loves to dance, but is he as good
32:59at resisting temptation as you are?
33:02Well, you have to ask him that.
33:08You sure you don't want something
33:09stronger? [music]
33:11No, I have to drive us home.
33:17You know, Sean, I've been meaning to ask
33:18you, why did you pick us?
33:21Experience,
33:23diligence, integrity, our credentials,
33:27and our promise.
33:29You checked out our website.
33:30I liked your presentation, and I wanted
33:33to go lowkey. You know, like I said, in
33:35our neighborhood, it's important to be
33:37discreet. Use one of the standard
33:39realtors and within five minutes,
33:41everybody knows you're selling.
33:44Well, whatever the reason, I'm glad you
33:46did. It was a real game changer for us
33:50for me.
33:52Pretty much saved my ass.
33:55[music]
33:56Well, it's an ass well worth saving.
33:59Has
34:01anyone ever told you you're an
34:02encouragable flirt?
34:05Incorable flirt?
34:07It doesn't sound very sexy.
34:09Don't worry about it. You got the sexy
34:11part covered.
34:14[music]
34:14Didn't work on you.
34:19Well, if circumstances would have been
34:20different, [music]
34:24I'll settle for that.
34:27Seriously, [music]
34:33Sean,
34:35thank you.
34:38Thank you [music] so much.
35:12Yeah, it's me. Yeah, I just got here. Of
35:16course, I called first. No, there was no
35:18answer.
35:20Dad.
35:23No, I don't know. Look, I'm just going
35:25to get the spare key and I'm going to go
35:27and check it out. All right.
35:29Well, I'll let you know if I see him.
35:32Okay. Bye.
35:46Dad. Dad.
35:54When is the last time you spoke to your
35:55father?
35:57We um
35:58we talked on the phone I don't know
36:00maybe beginning of last week.
36:02Does he live alone?
36:03Yeah, he has he has for some time uh
36:05since my mom and him split up. That's
36:07why I check on him regular, you know, to
36:09make sure he's okay.
36:10So, you spoke to him last week?
36:13Yeah, actually I I called him 2 days ago
36:15and [music] left the message. When he
36:17didn't call back, I got worried. He's
36:20really good about it returning his
36:22messages. [music] So I
36:24dropped by to see what he was doing.
36:34[music]
36:42Good morning, Mr. Crawford.
36:45Morning.
36:46And Miss Crawford.
36:47Oh, very nice to meet you. I assure you
36:49the pleasure is all mine.
36:52All right. Are you ready?
37:01[music]
37:05Thank you.
37:08Congratulations. [music]
37:08Congratulations.
37:14Pinch me. Oh, I can do better than that.
37:18Heat. Heat.
37:24[laughter]
37:35[music]
37:43Heat. Heat. N.
37:55Thank you.
38:08[music]
38:17[music]
39:33What the hell was that?
39:38You okay?
39:40Maddie,
39:41have you seen the newspaper this
39:43morning?
39:44Just go and get it.
39:49The remains of two hikers recently
39:51discovered on the Appalachian Trail have
39:53been identified as those of brethren and
39:56sister Shawn and Rebecca Crawford.
40:22Hello.
40:27Can I help you?
40:29Who are you?
40:31Who are you?
40:32I'm the owner of this house.
40:36Well, that's impossible.
40:42We are sorry, but the number you have
40:44dialed is no longer in service. What?
40:47Damn you, Sean.
41:05I have [music] a signed contract. The
41:07title and deed are in my name. Look, I
41:09understand, Mr. K.
41:10I gave them a certified check for almost
41:12$10 million.
41:14Hello. And you are?
41:15That's the realtor.
41:16Okay. Let her in.
41:18I gave her and her partner a large check
41:21as well.
41:22Detective Alverson CPD. You are
41:25uh Lauren Baker. I represented both
41:27parties in the sale of the house.
41:29Yes, but your sellers weren't qualified
41:30to sell. They didn't own the house.
41:32They were imposters, Lauren.
41:34But we checked him out.
41:35No, their attorney did. And he was an
41:38imposter, too. They knew the real Shawn
41:40and Rebecca Crawford wouldn't turn up to
41:42ruin their plan
41:42because they killed them.
41:44I'm Garrett Crawford, Miss Baker.
41:47Sean and Rebecca, my brother and sister.
41:49My family are already leaving from
41:51Riyad.
41:51No, listen. I'm sure that we can work
41:53something out.
41:53You're not working anything out.
41:55Not for me. You'll be hearing from my
41:58attorneys.
41:59Now, Maker, I've got a lot of questions
42:00for you and your partner.
42:02I understand.
42:04Could you come down to the station?
42:06Yeah, of course.
42:08We'll be in touch. Thanks.
42:12I [music]
42:13am so very sorry about your brother and
42:16sister.
42:17Thank you.
42:55Sorry.
43:00Yeah, it's not any of these people.
43:03I'm not that surprised. The real Sean
43:06and Rebecca Crawford lived in Portland,
43:07Oregon.
43:09So, what about the apartment in Chicago
43:11and the house in LA?
43:13All part of the scam, but they knew a
43:15lot about the Crawfords. So, it's quite
43:17possible that they weren't from Chicago
43:18at all, but came here from Portland.
43:20Okay. Wouldn't Sean or whatever his name
43:23was, wouldn't his fingerprints be at the
43:26house or both of theirs at our office or
43:29We're working on it. Meanwhile, I'll
43:30have one of our computer sketch artists
43:32contact you to get composites. Just let
43:35us know if you're going to leave town
43:36for any reason and if you do, how to
43:38contact you.
43:41Okay,
43:42Miss Baker,
43:44I'm not a realtor, but from what you've
43:46told me, it seems that you're not at
43:48fault here.
43:51So then why does it feel like I am
44:13so uh the bank called
44:17Mr. Dr. Mod's [music] lawyers already
44:18been in touch and they've frozen our
44:20account.
44:22I spoke to our malpractice carriers and
44:25our exposure is way beyond our policy
44:28limits.
44:31So, we're screwed
44:32big time.
44:36I'm so sorry, [music] Maddie.
44:38Don't you ever.
44:41Miss Reynolds,
44:44I'll call you later.
44:50This way.
45:19What are you doing?
45:21Look, I think we've both known for a
45:23long time that
45:23you're leaving.
45:24This isn't working.
45:27It was working two days ago when I had a
45:29huge commission check that just
45:30evaporated.
45:31This used to be fun, but people change.
45:35I've changed.
45:36Oh my god, there's someone else.
45:41That's not what this is about. But yeah,
45:44there's someone else. Someone who
45:46believes in me. Someone who believes in
45:48my work. Someone who can actually
45:50Get out.
45:52Get the hell out.
45:54Fine. No problem.
45:59You know, instead of judging others, you
46:02should take a look at yourself, babe.
46:04Maybe there's a reason you got scammed.
46:08You
46:10Come on.
46:12[music]
46:52Yeah.
46:52Hey, it's me. Let me in
46:56now.
47:07Hey, I brought you some breakfast.
47:14Nice
47:19secretarial work, but it's work.
47:24And living with my mom is tolerable.
47:26Thank you so much for asking.
47:29Why was I with him for 6 months? [music]
47:31because he's insanely hot.
47:34Sexy and I'm French, baby. Take care of
47:36me and you can sank me later.
47:40Was I really that clueless?
47:42No, but your hormones were
47:45Yes, there's the laugh. That's a start
47:48in the right [music] direction. And I
47:49got something else for you. The company
47:51that I'm working for is in desperate
47:52[music] need of a website redesign. I
47:55recommended you for it.
47:56No, I don't think that's a good idea.
47:59What are you doing? something better.
48:01Well, I'm meeting with this [music]
48:02bankruptcy lawyer.
48:06I know that's that's pathetic.
48:08You are the poster girl for wo is me.
48:13I got to pull myself together.
48:15Yeah, I know. A really great place for
48:17you to start.
48:17Yeah.
48:18Yeah.
48:20Look, I got to get to [music] work. So,
48:21um,
48:24call me this afternoon and I will hook
48:27you up with the office manager and the
48:28two of you will talk website redesign.
48:30[music]
48:31Okay. Thank you. We're going to make it
48:33through this, Lauren. Like Scarlett
48:35O'Hara, we shall not go hungry again.
48:43I don't deserve you. Don't I know it?
48:51Child.
48:56Hello.
48:58Yeah, Mr. Crawford.
49:01Uh-huh. Yeah, I can do that.
49:04Okay, I'll be right over.
49:31Yep, these uh these match up perfectly.
49:35This is the same inventory that he gave
49:37us.
49:38Thanks.
49:40while we're dealing with this mess with
49:41Mr. Kashan. I just wanted to make sure
49:42that nothing was taken.
49:46Well, why don't you tell me about the
49:48real Shawn and Rebecca?
49:52They lived in Portland. Um,
49:55I [snorts] guess you already knew
49:56[music] that.
49:58They inherited our parents estate, which
50:01is a [music] lot of money. So, you know,
50:02they enjoyed life, had a lot of friends.
50:05They usually make time once a year to
50:07travel together. Usually, it was a hike.
50:09Wait, you said that uh they inherited
50:11[music] the state and you didn't? No,
50:14not a dime. I mean, that's why my name
50:16isn't on the deed [music] of the house.
50:17Well, why not?
50:19Well, I was the eldest, the firstborn
50:21son, and my father expected a lot of me.
50:23[music] Um, I was stubborn, competitive,
50:26had a hair trigger tempered just like
50:27him. And for years, I made letting him
50:30down my reason for living.
50:33I dropped out of high school. I uh I did
50:35a lot of drugs and I committed some
50:37[music] pretty stupid petty crimes.
50:40In return for that, he uh wrote me off
50:42and out of his will.
50:45Wow. [snorts]
50:48You know, when I finally got to the fact
50:49that I was actually a lot like him, I
50:53started to turn my life around. I uh I
50:56stopped using [music]
50:57really
50:58been 10 years clean which
51:02I got my high school equivalency
51:04certificate
51:06and uh I even joined [music] the army
51:09which you know that was the best
51:10decision I ever made. I found my focus
51:12[music] and I found these.
51:16You found your hands.
51:18Uh I'm good at you know building things
51:20[music] uh solid practical things.
51:22Gavin's stables, houses.
51:24Oh, so you're a carpenter.
51:26Baltimore's finest,
51:27huh? [music]
51:28At least that's what it says on my uh on
51:29my business card.
51:32I uh
51:34I left the list behind, and I couldn't
51:36have been happier. [music]
51:41But now
51:43it's all mine.
51:45How?
51:46Not thanks to Kim. My dad was thwarted.
51:49I've I've inherited it all.
51:53and I wish I hadn't.
51:59Identities and whereabouts remain
52:01unknown, but an inside source has
52:03informed us that the FBI is
52:05concentrating its search not only in
52:08Chicago, but in the victim's hometown of
52:10Portland, Oregon.
52:23[music]
52:28[music]
52:50Hi, I'm here to pick up my order.
53:17Hey, it's me. I'm having lunch and

55:24One of the realtors saw me, Maddie.
55:27She followed me in her car and I lost
55:29her, but a car rammed into her.
55:30Jesus. Was she hurt?
55:33I don't know.
55:33Did you get close enough tide to your
55:35license plate?
55:36Maybe. I don't know. What am I going to
55:37do?
55:38Where are you now?
55:39I'm at home.
55:40Get out of there as soon as we hang up.
55:42Just leave your car where it is and
55:44don't look back. Check yourself into a
55:46motel. Call me once you're safe.
55:47Okay. Okay. Then what?

56:22has some pretty aggressive attorneys.
56:24Yeah, tell me about it.
56:25Listen, thanks for
56:29It's just good to talk to someone.
56:31Yeah.
56:33Uh, I'll be here taking care of the
56:35place for a while. Our
56:38our caretaker, man, who's taking care of
56:39this place for years, killed himself.
56:41Oh, that's terrible.
56:43Yeah. Yeah.
56:45used to play with his son Jimmy when we
56:47were kids.
56:48I'm sorry. Well,
56:51at least it gives me something to do.
56:52This uh it's a big old place and it
56:54needs a lot of work.
56:57Oh, excuse me.
57:03Hello. Yeah, this is Lauren Baker.
57:20Thank you.
57:38[music]
57:52She was unconscious.
57:54She's banged up pretty bad. She's got a
57:56broken rib and a broken leg.
57:58What happened?
58:00She ran a red light.
58:02Is
58:03she going to be okay?
58:05Well, they won't know until she wakes
58:06up.
58:09I mean, that is it. [music]
58:11If she wakes up,
58:18if there's anything I can do,
58:31[music]
58:50Hey, it's me. I'm having lunch and
58:52you'll never believe who's here.
58:53Rebecca.

58:59Number one4 ready for pick up. Call me
59:02as soon as you get this.
59:20Hi. Uh, Detective [music] Halverson,
59:22please.
59:25Hey, it's me. I'm having lunch and
59:28you'll never believe who's here.
59:29Rebecca. Rebecca,
59:32call me as soon as you get this.
59:35She left that message just a few minutes
59:37before the accident.
59:39She saw Rebecca Crawford or whoever it
59:41was that was impersonating her and she
59:43ran the red light because she was
59:44chasing her.
59:45Does she know another Rebecca?
59:47No, not that I know of.
59:50Okay,
59:52listen to the background on this. I
59:53think I know where she was.
59:54Me. I'm having lunch and you'll never
59:56believe who's here. Rebecca.
1:00:01There is a restaurant just a few blocks
1:00:03away from where the accident happened.
1:00:05Maddie goes there all the time. She saw
1:00:08Rebecca and she followed her. I just
1:00:11know it.
1:00:12Okay.
1:00:16She's not in Portland. [music]
1:00:18She's still in Chicago.
1:00:21Maybe all three of them are.
1:00:42The police are going to check out the
1:00:44restaurant, but I I can't just sit here.
1:00:47Need to catch these animals.
1:00:50Yeah, these [music] pictures have
1:00:51already been used in the paper and in
1:00:53the news. Yeah, but that was the last
1:00:54news cycle. I got to get these out to
1:00:56[music] the people.
1:00:58All right.
1:01:02The three people depicted in these
1:01:04[music] composite drawings are being
1:01:05sought by authorities in Chicago in
1:01:07connection with serious violent [music]
1:01:09crimes. If you know them or their
1:01:12whereabouts, please call 773-555126.
1:01:20Now, we just need to upload them to the
1:01:22web.
1:01:23What are we going to call it?
1:01:26Britney Spears
1:01:29topless.
1:01:30Seriously?
1:01:31No. Trust me, this will get hits. Plenty
1:01:34of them.
1:01:53It's called Winters. And
1:01:56where's that
1:01:57exactly? Which is why I couldn't get
1:01:58away fast enough.
1:01:59So why Chicago?
1:02:01Uh, you know, I thought it was a place
1:02:03that my family would never visit.
1:02:05It's a good one for the tourism bureau.
1:02:07Yeah, it's too cold, too far away.
1:02:10And have they stayed away?
1:02:14Thank god. Yes.
1:02:16another child of dysfunction. Eh,
1:02:19well, I think that you would agree with
1:02:20me that every family has some level of
1:02:24dysfunction or misery.
1:02:27I mean, your caretaker, for instance, he
1:02:30must have been miserable.
1:02:32Well, you know, he was happy when we
1:02:33were kids, but I hadn't seen him in
1:02:36years.
1:02:39Do you think it was
1:02:42I don't know uh coincidental
1:02:45that he killed himself right when all
1:02:48this stuff was happening?
1:02:51I I guess so.
1:02:52You said he had a son.
1:02:54Jimmy,
1:02:56do you know how to reach him?
1:02:58No,
1:03:01but I can find out.
1:03:26[music]
1:03:48Kan.
1:03:49Hey, just landed. Driving in from
1:03:52O'Hare.
1:03:53Well, I've been here all day. No sign of
1:03:55the police.
1:03:56Then maybe they didn't get her plate
1:03:58number. Give it till morning and then
1:04:00search your place. We don't want
1:04:01anything in there that links her to us.
1:04:04Got it.
1:04:21Hello.
1:04:23Hello.
1:04:23Oh. [music] Uh hello. Yeah. Um hi. Yeah,
1:04:27I I uh Um, I I saw your your video on
1:04:31the um on the web. Um, and I know one of
1:04:35those people. Um, her her hair is
1:04:38different, but it's definitely her.
1:04:43Jimmy.
1:04:46Hey. Wow. It's been a long time.
1:04:50I'm sorry.
1:04:56It's good to see you, man.
1:05:01[music]
1:05:07[music]
1:05:16Her name is Brena. Brena Lake View.
1:05:20Uh she she comes in here a lot.
1:05:24We've uh kind of become friends.
1:05:28So then she lives nearby.
1:05:30Yeah.
1:05:32Your video said she did something
1:05:36violent.
1:05:38Well, um,
1:05:40she may have.
1:05:41So, I don't know her that well, you
1:05:43know, but, uh, she seems like a pretty
1:05:45sweet person, you know. She's a little
1:05:48messed up.
1:05:51Messed up how?
1:05:52Well, she's an actress or wants to be.
1:05:56It's a hard life. I think that's why she
1:05:59comes in here when so many DVDs, you
1:06:01know, she wishes she was in them. Um,
1:06:08so do you have her address?
1:06:15I'm really just trying to help.
1:06:27He didn't seem depressed to me and he
1:06:30didn't leave a note or anything, but I
1:06:32guess you never really know what goes on
1:06:33inside somebody. I mean, even your old
1:06:35man.
1:06:37The police said it was suicide, so they
1:06:39seen a lot of them.
1:06:42Like you, I uh inherited the place.
1:06:46I'm going to keep it like it is until I
1:06:47can sell it.
1:06:50That's what he used to um to tie to the
1:06:53tailpipe.
1:06:55Do you have a pool?
1:06:56No.
1:06:58This was cut from a larger piece.
1:07:01Do you really think your father killed
1:07:02himself?
1:07:03Well, that's what the police said.
1:07:05Yeah, but what does your gut tell you?
1:07:08No, I would have sensed it. I would have
1:07:11noticed something.
1:07:13So, he could have been murdered.
1:07:15Yeah, but why? I
1:07:16think it might have something to do with
1:07:17Shawn Rebecca's death. He may have seen
1:07:19something at the house that he wasn't
1:07:21supposed to.
1:07:22So, what do we do now?
1:07:24First, I'm going [music] to find out
1:07:25where this came from. I've got a pretty
1:07:27good idea where to start.
1:07:29I'm uh
1:07:31I'm going to take this with me.
1:07:33You're going to take it? [music]
1:07:34Yeah. And if my hunch is right, then
1:07:36I'll show it to the police.
1:07:38You okay with that?
1:07:40[music]
1:07:40Sure.
1:08:36Brena. Huh?
1:08:51Brena.
1:09:07Yeah. Yeah. I was just finishing up at
1:09:09Brena's place when I was interrupted. I
1:09:10had to bail. The cops? No. Runner's new
1:09:14friend, Lauren Baker. Get out of there.
1:09:17I'll take care of it.
1:09:18You got it.
1:09:36Who is it?
1:09:37It's me.
1:09:40Hey, baby.
1:09:40Oh, God. Ken, I'm so glad you're here.
1:09:43Everything's going to be okay.
1:09:45Where are we going?
1:09:47Someplace safer in a motel.
1:09:50Why don't you just tell them that you
1:09:52didn't kill those people and that you
1:09:53were just, you know, taking advantage of
1:09:54the situation because they were gone and
1:09:56the house was empty? Because we stole a
1:09:59lot of money, Brena, and we could go to
1:10:01prison for a very long time.
1:10:03I will give the money back. I mean, it
1:10:05was just a job. I was just acting.
1:10:07I know. And you were great. You really
1:10:09pulled it off.
1:10:10What are we going to do? I mean, I can't
1:10:12hide forever.
1:10:13It's okay.
1:10:15I'll take care of you. You're safe with
1:10:18me. Okay.
1:10:31Why the hell did you barge in here like
1:10:32that?
1:10:33I know. I know. I shouldn't have. But I
1:10:35was I was so close to breaking open that
1:10:41I wasn't thinking straight.
1:10:43No, you weren't.
1:10:46And Britney Spears topless.
1:10:49No one can resist a peak.
1:10:52I'll remember that.
1:10:54You were right about Miss Reynolds, by
1:10:56the way, the fast food restaurant.
1:10:58Yeah, we got the woman on video. She
1:11:01changed her appearance a little bit, but
1:11:03we're pretty sure it's the same woman.
1:11:06And now it looks like we know where she
1:11:07lives.
1:11:10We found this
1:11:13and a bank statement. She deposited
1:11:15almost $50,000 a month and a half ago.
1:11:1750 grand. That means the other two
1:11:20walked away with almost 10 million.
1:11:23Generous guys. This was also with the
1:11:25statement. Let me see here.
1:11:30You mean anything to you? Kenan Blake.
1:11:36Oh my god,
1:11:38that's Sean's phone number. Keenan Blake
1:11:42is Sean Crawford.
1:11:57here.
1:11:58Yeah, there's a little apartment in the
1:12:00back. Shower, toilet, hot plate. Nelson
1:12:04used to work here.
1:12:07How long do I have to stay here?
1:12:09How long? It's enough time for me to
1:12:12take care of a few things. There used to
1:12:14be hundreds of people who worked here.
1:12:16Then one [music] day they say they're
1:12:18shutting down. No warning. Recession
1:12:20wiped them out. Unsucketing banks. Now
1:12:24the only ones left are the rats.
1:12:26I don't think I can stay here.
1:12:30I'm just kidding, babe.
1:12:33You're going to love it.
1:12:34It gives me the creeps.
1:12:38You'll see. It's going to be fine.
1:12:43Check it out.
1:12:53What are you doing?
1:12:54No.
1:12:57What are you doing?
1:12:59What?
1:13:01You and Lauren.
1:13:03What are you talking about?
1:13:06Why did you lure me back to Chicago?
1:13:08I didn't.
1:13:09What is this? Blackmail.
1:13:13set up.
1:13:14Why would you think that? Why would I do
1:13:15that to you?
1:13:18Don't lie to me.
1:13:21Nelson saw her at your apartment.
1:13:34Uh, Miss Baker,
1:13:37leave the detective work to us. All
1:13:39right.
1:13:40We're pretty good at it.
1:13:43Okay.
1:13:45Keep icing that.
1:13:56Hello.
1:13:56Hi, Garrett.
1:13:57Hi.
1:13:58Yeah, it's me.
1:14:02I've got a lot to tell you.
1:14:04Me, too.
1:14:05I'm coming by.
1:14:06I'll see you soon.
1:15:01Garrett.
1:15:06Garrett,
1:15:22Garrett.
1:15:39Lauren.
1:15:59Lauren.
1:16:03Hello.
1:16:16Lauren.
1:16:20Lauren. All
1:16:35right.
1:16:47[music]
1:17:21Okay.
1:17:25[music]
1:17:36Wait. What's wrong?
1:17:59Detective [music] Halverson.
1:18:00Garrett Crawford is in on it. He and
1:18:02Kenan Blake are friends and now he knows
1:18:05I know that.
1:18:06Where is he now?
1:18:07He's at the mansion. He tried to stop
1:18:09me, but I got away. I pepper- sprayed
1:18:11him.
1:18:12Okay. And where are you?
1:18:13Uh, I'm on my way home.
1:18:15Okay.
1:18:16Listen, when you get there, lock your
1:18:17windows and their doors.
1:18:19Okay.
1:18:29[music]
1:18:42You guys check her out front. Let me
1:18:44know if you find anything. I'm [music]
1:18:46going to Lauren Baker's place.
1:18:53[music]
1:19:06Hi, Lauren.
1:19:12[panting]
1:19:13[gasps]
1:19:14It's nice to see you again.
1:19:17Experience, diligence, integrity.
1:19:22You just couldn't leave it alone, could
1:19:24you?
1:19:25I called the cops. They were already on
1:19:27their way. Well, I guess that means
1:19:29we'll just have to hurry things up
1:19:30[music] then.
1:19:33It's too bad you didn't call him in time
1:19:34to save Brena. [screaming]
1:19:40What did you do to her?
1:19:48Let's see.
1:19:58Oh, wait.
1:20:13Let's go.
1:20:26[music]
1:20:33Are you okay?
1:20:34Yeah.
1:20:36Okay. Come on.
1:20:44So, how long's it been? About 15 years.
1:20:46Okay. Listen, I'm gonna have a lot more
1:20:48questions for you in the morning. In the
1:20:50meantime, try to get some sleep. All
1:20:51right.
1:21:02Hey, Keenan was on his way to the
1:21:03hospital.
1:21:06So, you knew him?
1:21:09Yeah.
1:21:10When I was stationed in Fort [music]
1:21:12Bragg, he was a bartender at a local
1:21:14hangout.
1:21:16But you [music]
1:21:17He looked through all those composits
1:21:18and you didn't recognize him.
1:21:20Yeah. Well, you saw the photo. I mean,
1:21:21he looked completely different then. You
1:21:24weighed a lot more. If he hadn't
1:21:26assigned [music] it, would you have
1:21:26recognized him?
1:21:28No, I guess guess not.
1:21:31I spent a lot of downtime at that bar.
1:21:34I He was a good listener [music] and I
1:21:36just I talked. I
1:21:38I told him about my life. I told him
1:21:40about my family.
1:21:43He knew so much [music] about Sean and
1:21:44Rebecca because he heard it from me.
1:21:48and I just never made the connection,
1:21:49you know? I mean, what does some
1:21:50bartender halfway across the country
1:21:52have to [music] do with any of this?
1:21:57But you came after me with a knife.
1:22:00[music]
1:22:01I thought your life was in danger. I
1:22:03grabbed the knife to protect you.
1:22:06Oh.
1:22:08Oh, right. Yeah.
1:22:09And what about you?
1:22:11I mean, you were pretty quick [music] to
1:22:13think I was involved with Kenan. You had
1:22:14to run for your life.
1:22:15Okay. Well, I had a lot of people lie to
1:22:17me. A lot.
1:22:19And I mean, I I wouldn't have even met
1:22:21you if people hadn't have deceived me.
1:22:23So,
1:22:25I've got trust issues.
1:22:30Children of dysfunction.
1:22:34Oh, and I'm sorry about that pepper
1:22:36spray and the morano.
1:22:40Yeah. Well, I guess under the
1:22:41circumstances, I guess I uh I got off
1:22:43easy.
1:22:58Hello.
1:23:01Damn girl, I missed out on all the
1:23:03[music] fun.
1:23:04What are you talking about? You were in
1:23:06a car chase.
1:23:08Yeah, there's that.
1:23:11I would have caught [music] her too if
1:23:13it wasn't for that damn red light.
1:23:20It's so good to have you back.
1:23:25It's good to be back.
1:23:33Okay, I'll see you in the morning.
1:23:45Well, she's going to be in there for a
1:23:48while, but she's out of the worst of it.
1:23:50Yeah.
1:23:52You hungry?
1:23:54I'm starving.
1:23:56I have steaks at my house.
