(intense music)
Please! Just stop!
Who are you?
I don't even know you.
Why are you doing this?
Look, whatever you
want, just take it.
I don't, I don't,
I don't want to...
You've already
done enough damage.
I don't even know you.
Who are you?
Oh, I think I'm dying here.
Please, just please,
please just leave
me alone, please!
I don't wanna...
I don't want to die.
I don't want to die!
(gunshot firing)
Oh, God!
(Blake grunting)
Oh God!
(Blake grunting)
(gentle music)
You never think of me.
But I do think of you. Jenny!
Just go away.
But can't I have any
happiness in my life too?
- No, you can't.
- But why?
Because I'm your daughter
and my feelings
should come first.
You're not thinking about me.
Yes, I am.
I'm doing this
- so that you can..
- Don't say it.
Have a stepmother?
You had to say it.
I have a mother and
she's a damn good one.
Yes, she is.
How would you know that?
You cheated on her, and
ruin our entire family.
I know. I'm a terrible person.
Okay, but you don't
know the problems
that your mother and I were
having when it all started.
It doesn't matter.
You had a commitment to mom,
and a bigger commitment to me.
And I still have a
commitment to you.
You're my daughter.
Nothing will change that.
You're my baby. I love you.
What can I do to
make it up to you?
Don't get married.
Jenny! Jenny. Come on.
Don't walk away.
Jenny. Jenny!
I can't do that.
If you marry her,
then there's no chance
of you ever getting
back with mom.
Jenny, I'm sorry.
That's never gonna happen.
Even if I wanted it, your
mother would never have me back.
Maybe she would.
Don't you two still
love each other?
You can't just turn it off.
Yes. I still love her.
I'll never stop loving her.
Then fight for her dad!
Fight for us.
I knew it.
My own father, my
knight in shining armor,
the man who taught me to
be strong is too scared
to keep our little
family together.
Jenny, I...
I love Eliza!
Oh my god.
Jenny. Jenny, please
just meet her!
No, absolutely not.
(gentle music)
Jenny. Jenny!
Please just meet her.
No.
(engine revving)
So what happened now?
What did your dad
wanna tell you?
He's getting married to
some floozy name Eliza.
Eliza? Sounds like
someone's receptionist.
How'd you know?
Know what?
She's his receptionist!
Stop. It's no time to laugh.
Okay, I'm sorry.
I'm just kidding.
But I did hit the
nail on the head.
Eliza sounds so, so secretarial.
Eliza, could you
get me a coffee?
Eliza, could you copy this?
Oh Eliza.
- Okay. Stop!
- Could you gimme a...
This is serious.
My father can't just marry
someone I've never met.
Why? You know, maybe she's nice.
Are you my best friend,
or are you trying to
something from my father too?
Okay, I'm sorry.
I'm just trying to figure
out what's going on too.
You know, you should
really get back to school
before you get in more trouble.
You're one absence away
from getting a suspension.
Well, I guess I'm
getting suspended
'cause I have to go tell my mom.
No, you can tell
her after school.
No, I can't!
She has to know.
(tire bursting)
What was that?
Are you okay?
Yeah, I think my tire blew.
(gentle music)
Your tire is in shreds.
It's a new tire!
Maybe you just ran over a nail.
Nails don't do that.
I guess I have to
call a tow truck now.
Why don't you just
call your dad?
Why would I do that?
I don't know, maybe
he's your dad.
It was so great meeting you.
Take your time. Think about it.
It's a beautiful home.
Hopefully this will
be the one for you.
Call me anytime, seriously.
Day or night.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Jenny, are you okay?
What's wrong?
Shouldn't you be in school?
What's going on?
It's dad.
What now?
He's getting married.
Mom, your ex-husband,
my father's getting
married to some harlot.
You knew, didn't you?
I can tell in your
face you knew.
Yeah. I didn't want to...
You didn't wanna tell me?
I thought your father should
be the one to tell you.
How long have you known?
Not long.
I actually caught them kissing
in the car like teenagers.
Disgusting.
So what's going on?
Is this when it all switches?
When what switches?
When the child
becomes the parent?
No, that's not happening.
And it probably won't ever.
Aren't you upset?
Why should I be upset?
Maybe now he'll
stop bothering me.
No, honey, it's you
I'm worried about.
Now you have to deal
with another woman.
No, I don't have to
deal with her at all.
In fact, I don't even wanna
meet her or see him ever again.
Okay, unfortunately
that can't happen.
Why not?
Because he's your
father and you love him.
He betrayed you and me, mom.
What kind of father is he?
Jenny, he loves you.
Just has issues.
That's obvious.
He's not a bad
person. All right?
He just has a hard time
controlling his masculinity.
Mom! That's gross.
I could have said
that differently,
but you know what I mean.
He's a man and they cheat.
Not all men cheat.
- Just my father.
- Yes. No.
Look, you are gonna find
someone who is true to you,
who loves you, and respects you.
If dad couldn't be that way,
how is any man supposed
to be that way with me?
They're all like
this, aren't they?
No. No. They're not all
like that, all right.
And I was at fault
too for the breakup.
Oh, really? What did you do?
Hmm?
Nothing, mom.
Your perfect mom, and
dad, daddy's a jerk.
He'll regret this.
He'll come running back to you
and you won't be there for him
and he'll live the rest
of his life like a hermit.
And you'll be married
- to some billionaire.
- Oh!
Who takes you all over the world
on private jets and yachts!
I love this plan.
Can you please find
this man for me?
And he'll have a son.
And I'll never have to work
again a day in my life.
I'll spend all
days on the beach.
And all our nights in the clubs.
- That sounds great.
- It does.
Actually. I don't want that.
I love my life.
I love the real estate
business I created for myself.
I'd miss my friends and
my clients and our home,
and you baby.
I will never leave you, mommy.
Now, if we could go on
all day shopping spree,
it might be worth it.
I can offer you the ice
cream in the freezer.
Maybe we can eat out of the tub.
Come on. Let's get outta here.
Lemme just check.
Oh no, I have another client
coming right now, honey.
I'm sorry baby.
I'm gonna have to catch
up with you, okay.
Mom.
It's a work day. Sorry honey.
I'll be home.
- Okay?
- Okay.
I'll see ya.
I love you, babe. Be safe.
(intense music)
(car horn hooting)
(gentle music)
Did you forget something, honey?
(gasps) Oh, sorry.
You scared me.
I thought you were my daughter.
Do I look like your daughter?
No. Of course not.
You must be Mr. Newman.
Kayla Thompson.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you for welcoming
me on such short notice.
Of course.
What would you
like to see first?
We should go upstairs
and work our way down.
Perfect. We'll start
in the master bedroom.
The home is 6,000 square feet.
It has six bedrooms, a gym,
five and a half bathrooms.
- That's impressive.
- Yes.
It was built in 1997 and then
completely remodeled in 2010.
The master is like
its own apartment
with 1800 square
feet of living space.
You have room for a
sitting area and over here,
double walk-in closets.
And my favorite,
the master bath,
complete with a brand
new soaking tub.
Mr. Newman!
Mr. Newman, where'd you go,
Mr. Newman!
This walk-in closet is enormous.
My wife would love it.
Yes.
Are these cedar lined drawers?
You know, I'm not sure.
This one.
I don't know.
Let me see.
It doesn't look like it.
(Kayla screaming)
(suspense music)
Where do you think you'll go?
There's no point in screaming.
It's a big house.
No one can hear you.
- Let me go.
- Let me go.
Why? Why are you doing this?
It doesn't matter why
I'm doing this, okay.
[Woman] Kayla. We're back.
We've made a decision.
It's your lucky day.
But if you go to the police,
I'm not coming
back just for you,
I'm coming back for
your daughter too.
Do you got it?
I said, do you got it?
I'm gonna let you go
now, okay. Alright.
Clean yourself up,
you look terrible.
I'll be right there.
(intense music)
Well, that was fast.
(birds chirping)
You scared me.
Sorry about that.
So when are you gonna meet her?
Supposed to meet her
tomorrow at Newport Beach.
Beach, why?
They think it's some
safe space I guess.
Probably for when
you push her down
'cause the sand's so soft.
Yeah. That's satisfying.
I can just imagine
you running up to her,
like you wanna give her a hug
and then you push her down
and stomp her chest.
Yeah, but that's fantasy.
In reality, there's really
nothing I can do about it.
Nothing?
Not only does my father kill me,
but my mom will too.
Why is your mom so bad about it?
It's all about
keeping the peace.
She thinks if we keep the peace,
it'll be easier for me.
Do you think your mom
still loves your dad?
I think they both
still love each other.
Well, then why don't we
just formulate a plan
and get them back together?
Yeah. We can kill Eliza.
And then at her funeral,
they just fall back in
love with each other.
Yeah. And then we
can have the priest
who's burying Eliza remarry
your parents at the cemetery.
Yeah. That's morbid
yet beautiful.
Anyway, I think you should
use your dad's credit card
to buy yourself some new clothes
so you can meet this Eliza.
Yeah. He can't get mad at
me for buying new clothes
to impress him
new girlie-friend?
Thanks.
You good?
Yeah. Yeah. I'm good.
I just, I...
I know the perfect store.
Wanna go?
- Yes.
- Okay.
(bright music)
(gentle music)
(gentle music continues)
Jenny, we're here. Jenny.
Jenny, this is Eliza.
And Eliza, this is
my daughter, Jenny.
You're even more beautiful
than your father said you were.
Really?
Because my father says
I'm a spoiled brat.
Jenny!
Actually, my parents divorced
when I was your age too.
They did?
Sure did. Except instead
of splitting time
with both my
parents like you do,
both of my parents kicked me out
and I lived by myself until
I could save up enough money
to go to college.
And did you?
Not only did I go to college,
but I went on to graduate school
and got my master's degree.
- Master's in what?
- Biochemistry.
That's impressive.
Sorry for being so
rude to you earlier,
this is all new to me.
My father just dropped
this bomb on me.
Why don't the two of you
go take a walk on the beach
to get to know each other?
That's a great idea.
What do you say, Jen?
It's Jenny.
I'm sorry. Jenny.
Promise it won't happen again.
Okay.
I'm so glad that
we got to do this.
Your dad really
means a lot to me,
and I know that you
mean so much to him.
Yeah, I guess.
I just can't believe you guys
are getting married so soon.
[Eliza] So you're a sophomore?
[Jenny] I'm a junior.
Any plans for college?
Definitely planning
on going far away.
Maybe East coast.
I'm sure your dad
won't be too happy
to have you so far away.
I don't think he cares.
Sure he does.
How would you know that?
I've gotten to know
your father pretty well.
In three months?
Yes, in three months.
I wouldn't be marrying him
if I didn't learn everything
about him in such a
short amount of time.
I think it takes three
months to get use to new car.
It's certainly isn't enough
time to know my father.
We have an undeniable chemistry.
Hopefully one day
you'll get to experience
what I'm feeling
for your father.
Hopefully not.
What's that supposed to mean?
It means I feel like you
and my father should date
for a while before you actually
commit to marrying him.
Wow. You sound like an old lady.
I never expected
Frank's daughter
to be such a traditionalist.
It's not about
being traditional.
It's about coming
into someone's life
and trying to take
over everything.
Jen.
It's Jenny, not Jen!
I thought you said it
wouldn't happen again.
I'm sorry. Jenny.
I have no interest in taking
over your father's life.
Whatever.
Look, Jenny, I don't appreciate
you making assumptions
about me.
Why don't you gimme
a chance here?
And why would I do that?
Because I'm marrying
your father.
- I'm going to be your...
- No, don't say it. Please.
What? Stepmother?
You had to say it.
What's wrong with that?
I have a mother and you
calling yourself my stepmother
only makes this worse.
What happened? What happened?
Jenny, how'd it
go? What's wrong?
You know exactly
what's wrong, dad.
No, I do not.
Are you really thinking
about marrying her?
Yes, I am.
What if I told you
I don't like her,
are you still gonna marry her?
I don't know, that depends.
Well, I don't like her.
I don't understand.
You both just had a really
productive conversation
on the beach.
Productive. Is that what
it was supposed to be?
That sounds so sterile.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean
it to sound like that.
Well, it did. I've gotta go.
Jenny! Please don't
be so hard on her.
Dad, honestly do you
know anything about her?
Yes. I know a lot about her.
Like, what? Where was she born?
Exactly!
I knew she was
raised in New York,
I just don't know
where she was born.
Well, you should, you
should know everything
about her before marrying her.
Sure, dad, go ahead and laugh.
But let me ask you
a serious question.
Have you done a
background check on her?
No. Of course not.
And I didn't do a background
check on your mother
when I got married to her too.
Yeah, but you were
both 25 years old,
and you grew up in
the same neighborhood.
You don't even know
anything about Eliza.
She's been working for me.
I know she's a good woman,
and I know that she has
an amazing work ethic.
Yeah, but you should
still check up
on her before letting
her into our family.
Okay. That's enough.
Stop with this nonsense!
I fall in love with
a wonderful woman,
and you wanna ruin it!
You ruined my life.
Why can't I ruin yours?
Oh, so this is a
game to you now?
No, it's my life!
And it's my life too!
I would appreciate
if you stayed outta my
personal business, okay?
Sure. Dad, whatever you say.
In fact, I will only stay
outta your personal business,
I'll stay outta your life too
and Eliza's permanently. Bye.
Goodbye! Come on.
Where you going?
Jenny, I didn't
mean it! Come back!
So how do you think it went?
Not good, huh?
Not so good.
Everything was going fine
until I said the
word stepmother.
Get it, but she didn't
have to turn so nasty.
I totally understand.
It's a big change,
especially for a teenager.
I just thought that
she would appreciate
that I found someone I love.
I love you too.
We'll get through this.
She'll love me
eventually. I promise.
Promise?
Hey.
You okay?
No, I'm not okay.
What happened?
She's a monster!
I didn't know your dad
had such bad taste.
No. I mean that she's
mean and I don't like her.
Look, I'm sorry, all right.
What do you expect from a woman
who's just marrying
your dad for his money?
Do you think?
Jenny, come on.
Are you that blind?
Your dad's rich and
this woman comes in,
and wants to marry him
after knowing him for what?
Three months? You weren't
born yesterday, were you?
No. But I guess I just
thought my dad was smarter
than that, you know?
Well, he is not
thinking with his head.
He's thinking with
something else.
Sam!
I'm just keeping it real.
What the?
What's up?
There's someone following us.
Well, how do you know?
Yeah. He's been behind
us and following us
ever since I picked you up.
What if he just had
the same route as us?
I don't know.
Well, we should...
You should try to
figure something out.
Like what?
(intense music)
Oh my God, he just hit us.
Why is he following us?
Who is this guy?
I don't know.
Okay. Yeah, I think
we should call 911.
(cellphone ringing)
[911 Operator] 911,
what's your emergency?
I'm in Newport, heading
south. Please help.
We just passed
McCoys's Fish House.
[911 Operator] Okay, calm down.
First thing I need you to do
is make sure your
doors are locked.
Please have someone
find me quickly.
Please, please.
Oh my God, he just hit me again.
- Why does he hate us?
- [911 Operator] Don't panic.
Drive safely. Stay calm.
Go, go! Come on. Go!
[911 Operator] Here's
what I need you to do,
I need you to stay calm
and you're gonna head straight
to the closest police station.
Just gimme a moment to find it.
Okay, I got it.
There's a police station
at 112 Ocean Avenue.
Go north and make
a right on Ocean.
- [Sam] You can make...
- [911] It will be about...
- A right turn right here.
- [911] One mile down.
[Sam] Go faster, we're
still few miles out.
Go, go!
Yeah, he's still behind us.
I think the turn is up here,
but I'm not sure.
What's wrong with this guy?
Why is he doing this?
[911 Operator] Can you identify
the vehicle make, model,
color, license plate?
Anything will help us.
Go! Go faster, please.
I'm too young to die, please!
Go right here!
[911 Operator] You
should be coming
upon the police station shortly.
It's on your right.
It's right there!
(suspense music)
(horn honking)
[Sam] Here it is coming up.
It worked! That
worked. He's gone!
(suspense music)
(Sam sighing)
We did it.
Just glad you're okay.
Yeah. I don't know who
could be after me like that.
Are you sure you
didn't cut him off?
You know, some type of
overblown road rage.
I'm certain, all right.
There was nothing
that happened before he
started following us.
Yeah, but listen,
I'm sorry for the
way I treated Eliza.
I was just mad at you,
but I took it out on her.
And I'm sorry that
I sprung her on you.
I should have considered
your feelings first,
but I just thought that
you'd be excited to meet her.
Would you be willing to give
her another shot, please?
Just one more shot.
I promise if you don't like her,
I will leave her and I'll
never get married again.
Yeah, sure.
That's why I love you, sweetie.
Just one more chance.
I guess I'll try again.
- Thanks. I love you.
- I love you.
So I will take you
back to the truck
and I will follow you home.
(gentle music)
I am so happy you're
doing this with me today.
Did I have a choice?
Yes.
Not the way my father
explained it to me.
Well, you're here now,
so we may as well try to
get to know each other
and maybe even have some fun.
What do you say?
Whatever.
You like the shopping
center, don't you?
Sure. Yeah, it's cool.
What do you say we get
you some new outfits?
Oh no. I'm not for sale.
You can't buy me!
Jenny, I'm not
trying to buy you.
Your father said you needed
some new clothes for school.
He was gonna spend
the money anyway.
Come on. What's the
worst that can happen?
You get some new outfits
and you can still hate me.
I don't hate you,
just I don't know you.
Then let's get to
know each other
through my favorite
tradition, shopping.
Come on, Jenny.
I don't bite, I promise.
Okay, sure.
Let's do it.
Let's put our feelings aside
Its a good start
Let the spending begin
Lets hit the spot
Finding designer cliches
Its a brand new day
Stack the Gucci lets play
This is our merry go round
And say I want this song
Lets make our perfect moment
To say love is
Pick it up with the love
And we not even done
This is the place to be
On a shopping spree
Oh and enough's not enough
And we're not even done
There's no better place to
be than a shopping spree
For the love that I love
Nothing like playing
in the shackle
Of feeling love
We on a roll
All in mode
Where's that Jeep
we want to go
Let that day
treats all unfold
Looking through
the near view
Oh ivory keeps looking
Let's just buy everything
That purse says my name
Like just know what to say
This is love
We spending all night long
We're blending
Pick it up with the love
Every night and day
This is the place to be
On a shopping free
And enough's not enough
And I'm not even done
There's no better place to
be than on a shopping spree
(birds chirping)
Thank you for agreeing
to go to dinner.
Eliza's not that bad.
I really don't wanna do this.
But you're doing
this for me, right?
Well, of course I am.
Jenny, you look so cute.
That's one of the outfits
I got you, isn't it?
Yeah. I love it.
How are you doing?
You look amazing.
Eliza, this is my mother, Kayla.
- It is so good to meet you.
- Oh.
Jenny has told me so
many wonderful things.
Oh, she has, has she?
She certainly has.
You've been such a
good influence on her.
Well, I am her mother.
You certainly are, and
a gorgeous one at that.
Come on. I prepared a
beautiful dinner for all of us.
Wow. This is impressive.
Frank is obviously doing well.
You've never been here before?
No. Shockingly I haven't.
Now I see why I wasn't invited.
Yeah, you might have
gone to the judge
and tried to get more money.
What? What's that
supposed to mean?
I just mean that Frank
has been doing really well
since the two of you broke up.
And if you saw how well,
you might have tried
to sue him again.
Oh, I didn't sue him.
That's not what he told me.
(suspense music)
Kayla! I'm so happy that
you could come tonight.
Yeah, thanks for inviting me.
Eliza's the one
that invited you.
Of course. Why
would you invite me?
Mom, you're being
a bit aggressive.
Can we turn it
down a little bit?
Yeah, sure. I'm sorry.
This is just all a bit daunting.
Daunting? Jenny said that
you were perfectly fine
with me getting married.
No, I am. Of course.
No, it's just, I dunno.
It's all so real now.
We're in your mansion with
your beautiful fiance.
It was just five years ago
we were married and in love
with a adorable little
11-year-old daughter.
I am sorry.
I'm glad that you came tonight.
I was hoping that we could
use tonight for healing.
Right?
Right. Good idea, dad.
Sure.
Excellent. So why don't
we go to the kitchen?
There's a beautiful
(indistinct) teapot
in the kitchen.
Mom, are you coming?
Yeah, sure.
(gentle music)
[Jenny] Mom?
Well, honey, that
was quite delicious.
Thanks sweetie. It's
my mother's recipe.
Wow. Tell your mother
compliments of the chef.
(glasses clinking)
Yes, Eliza. It was quite
good, especially the potatoes.
Mom, you should try
cooking like this sometime.
You don't think
I cook like this?
I thought you loved my cooking.
No, I do.
It's just, this is different.
How's that?
Yeah, they're different,
but they're both
just as great, right?
Jenny, your mother's
cooking is very good.
I didn't mean it as
her cooking isn't good.
I meant it as maybe
she started cooking
like Eliza sometimes.
It's fine, Jenny.
Please, I understand
what you're saying,
But do you really?
Because if I'm being honest,
how come you never take me
shopping more like Eliza did?
We never spend girl
time together anymore.
Well, ever since you turned 16,
you don't wanna spend
any time with me.
It's like I have a
disease or something.
Well, maybe if you didn't
act like you ruled me
and be my friend like Eliza,
I wouldn't feel that way.
Eliza is your father's fiance.
I am your mother.
Jenny! Jenny.
Thank you for the dinner, Eliza.
Frank, thank you for the invite.
What about Jenny?
She can stay with you.
I'm sure she'd prefer it.
(intense music)
(birds chirping)
Kayla, wait, please.
(engine revving)
- Jenny.
- Hey Eliza.
You know your mom loves you
more than anything, right?
Yeah. But sometimes I
question if they both love me
or if they're just
being selfish.
They're not being selfish,
they're just trying to live
the best lives that they can
and trying to be as good of
parents as they know how to be.
You should cut 'em some slack.
- You think?
- Yeah.
Just because they're adults
doesn't mean they have
it all figured out.
- Thanks Eliza.
- Anytime, kid.
I'm really excited
for your wedding.
- You are?
- Yeah.
- Well, I was thinking.
- What?
How would you like to
be my maid of honor?
Wait, really?
Yeah, really!
I thought your maid of honor
was supposed to be
your best friend.
Well, we're gonna be best
friends, so there's that.
And my current best friend
lives outta the country,
so she's not gonna be there
for the wedding anyway.
What do you say?
- I would love to.
- Amazing.
It's gonna be so fun.
I'm assuming since
your mom took the car,
you're gonna be sleeping
in your old room tonight.
Yeah.
Good. Let's get breakfast
together tomorrow.
- That sounds great.
- Amazing. I'll see you then.
Okay.
- Hey Eliza.
- Yeah.
I'm sorry for being so
rude to you earlier.
It's okay. I
completely understand.
Get some rest.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay. Good night.
(tires screeching)
(birds chirping)
(suspense music)
Who is this woman?
(suspense music)
What? What are you doing?
Marty. Marty. Marty. Marty.
(cellphone ringing)
Why in the world is
Kayla calling this late?
Marty? It's me, Kayla.
Kayla.
I'm sorry for calling so late,
but there's just something
that I need to know.
[Marty] What?
What do you know about
Frank's assistant Eliza?
Marty, are you there?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm still here.
Eliza, what do you
know about her?
What can you tell me?
She's a bit of an
issue because, well...
Marty, come on, who is she?
Where did she come from?
She is the one that
tore our business apart.
That's who she is.
She did?
I knew it.
I knew there was
something weird with her.
What? How did she do that?
I can't tell you.
Marty, come on. You
have to tell me.
They're engaged and she's
ruining my relationship
with my daughter.
They're getting married?
[Kayla] Yes.
They hardly know each other.
Is Frank really that dumb?
Yes he is.
Come on, Marty, tell
me what you know.
She threatened me!
She found some stuff out
about me and the company,
and she threatened to turn us
into the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
How does she find all of that?
I don't know exactly.
We think she was snooping
around in the office,
and she found passwords
and then she went
into the computers.
But I don't really know
and I don't have any proof.
Are her threat's real?
I don't know.
I mean, but I couldn't risk it,
so that's why I separated
myself from Frank
and especially because
Blake was murdered.
So she knew how
to get rid of you?
Well, yeah, of course.
I'm gone, right?
Marty, did you ever find
anything out about her?
You bet I did.
What? Tell me.
She's a con artist.
She has aliases and
she manipulates people
that take...
Marty? Are you okay?
Marty, are you there?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I thought I heard
something downstairs.
Hold on.
(suspense music)
Marty, are you okay?
Wait a minute. Hold on.
The front door's ajar.
Wait, hold on.
Sorry. Are you still there?
[Kayla] Yeah. Yeah, I'm here.
What happened?
I think I left the
front door ajar.
It must have fallen open
or something like that.
But do you know what?
All this talk about this
woman gets me a little scared.
Scared. Why are
you scared of her?
I'm not scared of her.
I'm scared of who she knows.
Marty, you have to
tell me what you know.
I told you.
I mean, the thing is, is that
every time I talk about this,
it makes me crazy.
I locked the door.
(Marty grunting)
(tense music)
Marty, is that you?
Who is this?
Oh my god. Oh my God!
[911 Recording] You've just
reached emergency service.
Please hold. You wait.
(cellphone buzzing)
(intense music)
Jenny, I need you out
of that house now.
I don't want you in
there with that woman!
(Eliza knocking)
Who was that?
Just my friend, Sam.
Anyway, what's up?
Oh, well I just
made some coffee,
and I wanted to see if
you'd like to join me.
Where's my dad?
He went out.
- This late.
- You know him.
He likes to take
his meetings late
so he doesn't have
to deal with traffic.
No, I didn't know he did that.
There's probably a lot you
don't know about your dad.
There's a whole
other side to him.
The side that I
got to learn first.
Now I'm trying to learn
the side you've known
your whole life.
So how about that coffee?
Actually, I think I'm gonna
go back to my mom's tonight.
Why is that?
Because you know she
doesn't have someone,
someone as wonderful as you are.
So it's probably best if
I keep living with her.
I totally understand.
I think it's a good idea.
Your mom is clearly
lonely and a bit spiteful.
It'd probably be really
good for her psyche
to have you around.
You know, it's gotta
be really tough
seeing your ex-husband remarry,
especially someone younger.
My mother might be older,
but she's still a
beautiful woman.
Jenny. I didn't
mean it like that.
Of course your
mother is beautiful.
Then what did you mean?
I just mean it must be a bit odd
to see your ex remarry
someone 20 years younger.
Yeah, I guess so.
Now if you wouldn't mind,
I have homework to do.
No problem.
- Goodnight.
- Night.
Hey mom.
I'm coming to pick you up.
Get out of that house now!
Oh my God. You're amazing.
She just totally creep
me out right now.
I think there's more to her
than your father realizes.
I think she has something
to do with Blake's murder.
I need you out of that house.
Don't pack anything up.
Just meet me on the driveway!
Okay.
(birds chirping)
Hi Kayla.
What are you doing here?
I'm here to pick up my daughter.
I thought she was
staying here tonight.
Yeah. No, on second thought,
she's coming home tonight.
She has school tomorrow.
But she is home.
No, her home is with me.
Are you sure you don't
wanna stay here tonight?
Yeah, I'm sure.
But I was planning
us a movie night.
Didn't you smell the popcorn?
Yeah, but I have
school and homework
and all my stuff is
at my mom's home.
Sure, I understand.
I'm gonna miss you though.
Yeah, yeah, same.
- Okay, tell Frank thanks.
- Sure.
Maybe we can try to do another
family dinner sometime soon.
Yeah, sure. That would be nice.
Night Jenny.
(car engine revving)
What's wrong with that woman?
She's up to something, Jenny.
I can feel it.
She doesn't love your father.
So you think she killed Marty?
Yes, I do.
But why?
Because she wants his money.
She would go through
all that trouble
just to steal his money?
Yeah, people do it all the time.
Desperate people do
desperate things.
There's gotta be more though.
Do you know why I raced
to get you tonight?
Because you love me?
Yes. Because I love you.
No, I called dad's
other partner, Marty.
And while I was on
the phone with him,
he thought someone was
breaking into his house
and something happened
and we lost connection.
So?
Don't you think that's
a strange coincidence?
Yeah, but she can't be
in two places at once.
Yeah, that's why I think
she's working with someone.
The other day when you left
my open house, I was...
You were what?
- I was attacked.
- Wait, what?
Yeah, this man acted like
he was coming to look
at the house and he
hit me over the head.
And if it weren't for other
clients who showed up,
he would've killed me.
Mom, did you call the police?
Why not?
Because I was afraid.
Because he said if I
did, he would come back
and kill us both.
Oh my God!
We have to warn Dad.
He's a big boy. He can
take care of himself.
Mom, Blake and Marty
were big boys too.
What if she kill's Dad?
I know you're mad at him,
but you must still love him.
I don't love your father.
I am grateful to him
that he gave me you,
but I am not in love with him.
Come on. You must still
have feelings for him.
Your father destroyed my life.
I don't care what
happens to him.
I only care what happens to you.
Well, if daddy gets murdered
by his crazy fiance,
I'd be sad for the
rest of my life.
(tense music)
[Reception] Dr. Anderson
to maternity please.
Dr. Anderson!
I don't even remember him.
I think you were
like five or six
the last time we saw him,
it was a holiday party
at your dad's office.
Kayla, it's been a long time.
Hi Marty. I'm so sorry.
Are you okay?
I'll live.
Thankfully the
intruder's gun locked up
when he was there and he
got nervous and ran off.
But he did hit me pretty hard.
Well, you always
were hardheaded.
Wow. So you're Jenny.
I remember you when you
were about this tall.
Come give your
uncle Marty a hug.
Careful though. I'm
in a lot of pain.
Thanks.
All right, enough
of the pleasantries.
Let's get serious.
Have a seat.
Oh!
So what do you know
of my father's fiance?
Well, after the
partnership went down,
I did a little research
investigating on the woman.
Found a lot of like
surprising things about her,
but your father didn't
wanna know about them.
Why?
Because she seduced him.
Guys are weak when
a beautiful woman
is throwing herself at them.
Okay, what did you find out?
Well, Eliza and her
husband, they travel
and what they do
is they rob people.
Wait, her husband?
Yeah, she was married,
but, but they couldn't
find her husband.
They still haven't.
So Frank can't even
legally marry her.
No, I tried to tell him that,
but he just didn't care.
Frank.
Just do it!
I don't care what it takes.
Get it done.
Frank, I had our
investigators do a little bit
of research on Eliza.
I told you not to
investigate her.
Frank, I'm trying to
protect the company.
Protect our company, huh?
Or destroying me.
What are my partners
trying to do,
get rid of me?
No, no, not at all.
So what did you find?
Eliza has a criminal
history, Frank.
Come on.
My fiance is not a criminal.
- And.
- And what?
Come on. Spit it out!
Your fiance is married, Frank.
(chuckles) Now you're really
starting to make me laugh.
Our investigators believe
that Eliza and her husband,
a Philip Thomas have been
running around the world
with money they stole from
wealthy businessmen, Frank!
That's ridiculous.
Show me the proof.
Here, look!
Well, she's my fiance,
I'll take care of it.
And don't you ever use
company money again
to investigate anybody
without my approval!
Your approval?
Did you forget that
we're equal parts
in this company, Frank?
Which is why you shouldn't
be investigating anybody.
Whatever, Frank!
I'm just trying to protect
you, to warn you against her.
Where is she?
She's gone, Frank.
I fired her. She's gone!
- You what?
- Fired her.
Get outta my office!
Get out!
Get out. Now!
So he completely ignored
everything you had to say?
Kayla, I had a laundry
list of illegal activities,
but he just didn't care.
Wait, so staying in that
house with that woman.
Wait, wait!
Do you think there's
any possibility
that he was involved
in her crimes
and that's why he didn't care?
No. I think he was just
so enamored with her
that he just didn't really
think about those things.
No, my father's not like that.
Jennifer, honey, you don't
know adults and especially men.
No, he's not like that.
Maybe she's using him.
What do you mean?
Maybe she's threatening
him or something.
That's why he's been
acting so weird.
Could be.
But there's just no way
for us to find that out.
The same way you found
out the other stuff.
Look, it's been a long night,
and you need to get some rest.
I want you to feel better.
Stay safe, okay.
Well they either
broke into my house
and I interrupted him,
or they came there to kill me.
Let's hope he was just
trying to rob you.
We'll see you soon.
Definitely. See you kiddo.
Bye Marty.
See ya Kayla.
- [Reception] Mr.
- Stafford, telephone please.
Do you actually think Eliza
could do something like that?
[Kayla] Let's go
home sweetheart.
Let's get some sleep.
(suspense music)
Hey Doc, I didn't think you'd
get here until the morning.
How you feeling?
I'm in a lot of pain.
I'm in a lot of pain and I
really can't move at all.
I think maybe I broke something.
Yeah, it's definitely possible.
Did you happen to get a look
at the guy who did that to you?
Why are you asking me that?
You're a doctor.
Well, I'm a concerned citizen.
You know, I have kids and
I just wanna make sure
that they're safe.
Yeah, I did.
He was like an all in black
and his face was covered,
but I still know the size he
was and I saw his eye color.
Did you get a chance to talk
to the police about that?
No. They rushed me off into
an ambulance right away.
But the officer said
that a detective would
come into my hospital room,
and get a statement
and interview me.
I'll tell you what, as soon
as the detective gets here,
I'll make sure he comes
and sees you, all right?
Yeah, lemme check you out.
All right.
Can you lean forward for me?
I'm gonna need help.
Okay, all right. Come on.
(Marty grunting)
Okay. Alright. Deep breath in.
Oh shoot. Hold on.
And now?
It really hurts when I do that.
Deep breath in for me.
(Marty grunting)
And now?
You think it's ribs?
It could be.
- Can I sit back?
- No. Hang on.
It really hurts
when I breathe in.
Lemme just check out
one more thing for you.
Okay.
Ow. Ow!
That really hurt.
- Yeah, sorry about that.
- Okay.
Okay. So what do you think doc?
Yeah, I think it's time.
What do you mean?
(Marty screaming)
What the heck?
(Marty grunting)
(gentle music)
(Phillip mocking)
(intense music)
[Nurse] Code blue. Code blue!
Room 364, code blue!
Code Blue, room 364.
(birds chirping)
(intense music)
Jenny! Eliza!
Another useless meeting.
Hi.
Hi honey.
So what's all this?
- Don't you remember?
- No.
It's our four month anniversary.
Oh. If I knew that we would
be celebrating every month,
I would've brought you flowers.
It's okay.
I wanted to do something
special for you.
So I made your favorite dessert.
Chocolate lava cake with
a little raspberry puree.
Okay. Oh, thanks.
What? I thought you
said chocolate lava cake
was your favorite.
No, it is my favorite.
I didn't expect you to be up
so late, especially cooking.
You work so hard.
I wanted to do
something nice for you.
Okay, but where's Jenny?
Kayla came to pick her up.
She figured since all her
school stuff was home,
it would just be
easier to sleep there.
I thought she was
living with us now.
I guess she'll just bounce
from house to house.
Okay. I guess if that
works then that's fine.
Isn't this better,
we have the house
just the two of us?
What do you mean?
How about a different
kind of dessert?
Oh!
(intense music)
I can't wait anymore.
- Wait for what?
- I just love you so much.
I can't stand being
engaged. I wanna be married.
But we're gonna get married.
I don't wanna wait.
I wanna have you.
But you have me.
I won't have you until
you're committed to me.
Sweetie, I am committed. I am.
Why are you crying?
What's wrong?
You don't understand.
I've never met anyone like you.
I never thought I was good
enough for a man like you.
Even when we started
working together,
I never thought I would
get your attention.
But look at us now.
What makes you think that
you couldn't have me? Huh?
Look at you.
You're beautiful, you're
talented, you're smart.
No I'm not.
You're just saying that
to make me feel good.
I'm just a girl from the
other side of the tracks.
Everything about me is a facade.
That's not true.
Yes it is.
But you don't care, and
that's why I love you.
You know me for me and not
the family I was born into.
Eliza, I love you.
I mean you woke me up.
I was drifting through life.
You changed my life.
Then let's get married now.
Now? How?
We'll fly to Vegas!
What about the wedding?
We can still have the wedding.
Nobody needs to
know we're married.
It'll be like our little secret.
I don't know.
Please Frank.
I wanna commit to you under God,
and I want you to commit to me.
Ever since I was a little girl,
I've dreamed of my wedding
and now I have my
future husband.
Don't make me wait.
Please, Frank.
- Okay.
- Okay?
Okay, I'll call my
pilot in the morning.
Not in the morning!
We have to go now.
- Now?
- Yeah. Why wait?
Call your pilot and tell him
to meet us at the airport.
There's 24 hour
chapels in Vegas.
I don't know.
Come on Frank.
Where's your zest for life?
I thought that you were
spontaneous and exciting,
but now I'm starting to think
that you're just an old fogey.
Hey, I'm not old!
Okay then let's do this.
Okay, let's do this!
I'm gonna get ready!
(Frank chuckling)
Wow.
Oh boy. I can't believe
we're doing this.
Be spontaneous,
Frank. Spontaneous.
(gentle music)
Here we go.
Vegas here we come!
(engine revving)
(gentle music)
(loud banging)
What was that?
(suspense music)
Mom. Mom.
Honey.
I'm scared. I heard something.
What did you hear?
(banging)
Is there someone in the house?
Mom, what if it's the same
person who tried to kill Marty?
Here. Pepper spray.
Good idea. Stay here.
(suspense music)
(Jenny muffled screaming)
Jenny! Jenny!
Jenny! Jenny.
Jenny! Jenny!
(suspense music)
(tires screeching)
Jenny! Someone help!
(suspense music)
Stay away from me.
Normally I'll put
a muzzle on you,
but there's no one around.
So scream all you want.
Get off me!
Sorry sweetie, but I make
the rules around here.
Who are you?
What do you want?
You smell good.
- Someone help, please!
- Someone help!
No one can hear you.
I told you that.
- What do you want?
- Why are you doing this?
Please, my dad's rich,
he'll pay the ransom.
I'll give you his number.
That plan's already in place.
In fact, we have an
even better plan.
Who's we?
Me and my wife.
You're married.
What kind of man are
you? Where is she?
She's in Vegas right
now getting married.
What are you talking about?
She's marrying your
daddy as we speak.
You are Eliza's husband?
Why are you laughing at me?
What's wrong with you?
Because you rich
people are so stupid.
I'm 16, I'm not rich!
No, but your daddy is
and he's gonna pay.
In fact, Eliza's gonna
call me in two minutes
and she's gonna tell me that
we own half of everything
that your dad spends his
entire life working for.
Poor Frank.
What to marry my dad?
Thinking with other
parts of your body
can get you in trouble.
(Phillip grunting)
Not too smart little girl.
(suspense music)
(Phillip knocking)
I know you're in there, Jenny.
(suspense music)
Please. Please. Go away.
I'm not going anywhere
and neither are you.
Stop making things so difficult!
(intense music)
(intense music)
(intense music continues)
Oh my gosh.
It sure is beautiful.
I called ahead to let
them know we were coming.
I can't wait.
We're getting married!
You must be Frank and Eliza.
So sorry for the late notice.
No worries. That's the usual.
I just need you to
sign some papers.
Is this the marriage license?
It certainly is.
Is this real?
Sure, it's real.
There's nothing fake
about our weddings.
We are fully licensed
by the state of Nevada.
So if we both sign
this, it's official.
Well, you have to say I do.
It's not official if
you don't say your vows.
Frank, stop asking
so many questions.
Let's make it official.
Just hold on here.
What? Don't you wanna marry me?
I do.
Well that's half the
vows right there.
I do too.
Wait a minute. I
didn't say any vows.
Look before I sign anything,
I think that I should
have my lawyer take a look
at the paperwork first.
Frank!
I am just gonna give
you guys a moment.
Thank you.
This isn't a business deal.
Then what is it?
It's love.
This is what people
who are in love do.
Look, I got married
a long time ago,
and it turned into a nightmare.
So you're having
second thoughts?
Yes.
But you were so
confident before.
(cellphone buzzing)
Don't answer that, Frank,
I have to take this.
For once forget about work.
Frank!
What's up?
Jennifer's gone!
What?
She was kidnapped.
Kidnapped? What?
Where is she?
There was a noise and
I went down to check,
there was nothing
there. And then...
Who was it?
I dunno. I heard something
and I went back upstairs
and she was gone
and there was just like a
car driving down the street.
You didn't get a face
or a license plate?
What the hell are you doing?
What are you talking about?
I was just going
through with the plan
that you came up with.
The plan was that you
were supposed to take her
after I married Frank.
You're not married to Frank yet.
Isn't that why you're in Vegas?
I did, but he's
getting cold feet
and now his ex-wife's
calling him freaking out
that their daughter is missing.
It was the only
opportunity that I had.
Really? Your timing
is atrocious, Philip.
Well, what else was
I supposed to do?
You were supposed to wait
for my call that
the deed was done.
Okay. I'm sorry baby.
I screwed up, didn't I?
Yes, you did.
How can I fix it?
You can't.
Just hold her and don't
let her out of your sight,
- got it?
- Yeah.
- Do you understand Phillip?
- Yes, I understand.
Wait for my next call and
don't let your phone die.
Okay? Look baby, I
really am sorry, okay.
I won't screw up again.
It's fine.
This is why I'm the brains
and you're the Braun, right?
Right.
I'll talk to you later.
Where are you, Frank?
I need you here.
We have to figure this out.
A few hours away.
Okay, well, I need
you to get here.
We have to find our daughter.
All right, Eliza and I will
be there in a few hours.
No, not Eliza.
Why? Why not?
Because I think she has
something to do with it, Frank.
Okay. She's not who
she says she is.
Don't listen to
anything she says.
I think she's trying
to steal your money.
This is like way
bigger. Way bigger.
All right, we'll be there.
Is everything okay?
Just my mother calling
to congratulate us.
You told her?
Of course. I was so
excited, I couldn't wait.
Look, Eliza, I love you,
but if we're gonna get married,
I just think that I should
get approval from Jenny.
You know, if I
never said anything,
she'd never talk to me again.
I told you we just
won't tell anyone.
But you told your mother.
Yeah, it's just my mom.
And this is my daughter.
Look, Rosemary, I'm
sorry to waste your time.
This isn't gonna work out.
The timing's off.
Are you sure about that?
Yeah. Thanks.
Eliza. Eliza! Eliza!
Eliza, Eliza!
(phone ringing)
I don't know.
It's a strange
coincidence, right?
(cellphone ringing)
It's Frank.
Frank!
Kayla, you were right.
When I told her I didn't
wanna marry her, she took off.
You were gonna
marry her, like now?
- Where are you?
- Vegas.
Oh my god, Frank.
Well, then it is her.
Forget about Eliza.
Focus on finding Jenny
before it's too late.
Well maybe if we find
Eliza, then we find Jenny.
Look, the detectives
are here now.
I'm gonna talk to them.
Just get to LA as soon
as possible please.
I will. And I'm sorry.
- Just get here.
- I'm on my way.
You need a ride to the airport?
Yeah.
- Come on, I'll take you.
- Thanks.
Hi honey.
So this was all a ruse
for you to get my money?
Is that any way to
talk to your fiance?
Answer the question!
There's more to it.
- What?
- You'll find out.
In the meantime, I need
you to transfer $10 million
to an offshore bank account.
I'll text you the account and
routing information shortly.
What?
You didn't wanna
marry me, Frank,
so now we have to
do this another way.
So this was all about the money?
Of course it was you moron!
Do you think I
actually loved you?
You are so stupid Frank.
All men are stupid, but
you might just win a prize.
Who's the stupid one?
Because you still
don't have my money.
I have your daughter
and I will kill her
if you don't
transfer me the money
the moment I send
you the information.
Yes, Frank. We have Jenny
and we're going to kill her.
So you better send that money.
You are a monster.
No, I'm a capitalist,
Frank, just like you.
It's not gonna work out.
If I transfer the money,
you still might kill her.
They get the 10 million in cash
and we'll make a switch.
It could take days for me
to raise that kind of money.
You have until morning.
I have plenty of other
marks I can get money
from and I have no
problem dropping this plan
to start a new one.
Now get that money.
Eliza! Damn!
Detective Larson, did
you find anything?
I'm sorry, Kayla, we
don't have any leads.
We scoured the
neighborhood for cameras
that might have captured
the car, but no luck.
- We have to find her.
- Yeah.
Thing is, if this
is a kidnapping,
they're gonna want
money from your husband.
I'm confident they'll
contact you or him soon.
My ex-husband.
What if they hurt her?
The good thing is, I think
it's more about the money.
If they want the money,
they won't hurt her, right?
I hope you're right.
Yeah.
(cellphone ringing)
Oh, it's him.
Frank!
Did you find her?
No, but I got a call from Eliza,
and she wants cash for Jenny.
Oh, thank God she's alive.
She wants $10 million.
So what Frank?
Do it! Don't you dare put
a price on our little girl.
I'm not!
Then do it, Frank. Now!
I can't get that kind
of cash by the morning.
Figure it out, Frank.
I am. I need you at the
airport on the tarmac
in the morning at 8:00 a.m.
I'll be there for
my little girl.
Good. And Kayla,
no police, okay?
If she sees any extra people,
she might not give
us Jenny back.
Okay. Okay. Bye.
Come on, wrap it up.
(suspense music)
(suspense music continues)
Please. Please, no!
Time to get up.
- No!
- Let's go! Get up!
No, please!
No! Where we going?
Where are we going?
God, you're so annoying!
Please, where you taking me?
- Stop!
- Stop!
For once in your life,
I just need you to shut up.
Let me go!
(intense music)
(bright music)
(bright music continues)
(footsteps approaching)
I am so sorry.
I had no idea
that she was capable of
doing anything so insane.
It's amazing to me how such
a smart man can be so stupid
when it comes to women!
I'm guilty. I'm a jerk.
Yes, you are!
Now let's focus on
getting our baby back.
You did this, Frank.
Now let's fix it.
I can see her there
in the middle.
It's Philip Legler.
Who?
He's the guy that Blake
who pressed charges on
and sent him to jail.
He's also the guy
who attacked me.
There's more to this than
just about the money.
(suspense music)
Hello, Frank.
Eliza!
- You remember me, Frank?
- Yes, I do.
You should be in prison.
Yeah, well, obviously I got out.
How?
Eliza helped me.
Enough with the small talk.
Where's the money?
I had to go to Salt Lake
City last night first,
but I got it.
I knew you would.
What's she doing here?
I told you not to bring anyone.
You kidnap my daughter
and held her for ransom,
and you think I'm
not gonna show up?
Show me the type of woman
that would do such a thing.
I don't care.
As long as you have
the 10 million,
you'll get your daughter back.
It's over there on the plane.
Prove it.
Go inside and see for yourself.
Watch them!
(suspense music)
You've always been
so good to me, Frank.
Why are you looking at me?
I want my daughter back!
I want my daughter back.
Well, Philip, if
it's not all there,
it's pretty damn close!
My pilot will take you
anywhere within 2000 miles.
Just tell him
where you wanna go.
Good. Frank, I will say you
did take such great care
of me over the past four months.
Eliza, can we go?
I mean we're out here
in the open and...
Relax, Philip!
It's gonna be fine.
Soon enough we'll be
on a beach in Acapulco.
Soon enough ain't
soon enough, you know.
You're so profound, sweetie.
That's why I love you so much.
Go get the girl outta the car.
Come out.
Baby, are you okay?
Mom!
Not so fast.
Try anything and I'll shoot you.
Gimme your phones.
Give them their bratty
little daughter back.
She's all yours.
- Oh, my baby.
- Mom.
I didn't like
babysitting anyways.
[Eliza] Come on, Phillip.
What are you doing?
Where are you going?
I'm helping them leave.
Well, that's very
nice of you Frank.
Safe travels.
That was really smart, dad.
Yeah, let's just hope
that they don't do too
much damage to the inside.
That plane costs the
company $5 million.
We're heading to Acapulco.
Let's get going. Now!
Phillip, there's no
pilot on this plane.
He lied to us!
What are you talking about?
Open the door!
It won't open!
Hit the emergency release!
What do you think I'm doing?
It's not opening!
Get out of my way!
Go ahead. Try it. Yeah.
- I love you guys.
- We love you too.
I'm just so happy
you're safe, baby.
What do you say, we
give it another shot?
Absolutely not.
Why? Why not?
Because you're a
serial cheater, Frank.
And if you could fall
for a woman like that,
you are not good enough for me.
Jenny!
I'm sorry dad, but
you had your chance.
[Eliza] Frank! Frank,
let us out of this plane!
So now you both hate me?
We don't hate you, Frank.
In fact, we love you enough
to tell you the truth.
You have a lot of work to do
before you can be
with a real woman.
You're a child, Frank.
Give me a call when you grow up.
I have grown up.
I've learned my lesson.
You need to be alone
for a long time, Frank.
Bye, daddy, love you.
(police sirens wailing)
Philip, shoot the door again!
Frank, let us out
of the damn plane!
I know all your secrets now,
we'll take that kid again.
Let us out, Frank! Frank!
Frank, open this door!
Phillip, push the door!
Frank! Frank! Frank!
(intense music)
(intense music continues)
(intense music ends)
(no audio)
(bright music)
(gentle music)
(intense music)
Please! Just stop!
Who are you?
I don't even know you.
Why are you doing this?
Look, whatever you
want, just take it.
I don't, I don't,
I don't want to...
You've already
done enough damage.
I don't even know you.
Who are you?
Oh, I think I'm dying here.
Please, just please,
please just leave
me alone, please!
I don't wanna...
I don't want to die.
I don't want to die!
(gunshot firing)
Oh, God!
(Blake grunting)
Oh God!
(Blake grunting)
(gentle music)
You never think of me.
But I do think of you. Jenny!
Just go away.
But can't I have any
happiness in my life too?
- No, you can't.
- But why?
Because I'm your daughter
and my feelings
should come first.
You're not thinking about me.
Yes, I am.
I'm doing this
- so that you can..
- Don't say it.
Have a stepmother?
You had to say it.
I have a mother and
she's a damn good one.
Yes, she is.
How would you know that?
You cheated on her, and
ruin our entire family.
I know. I'm a terrible person.
Okay, but you don't
know the problems
that your mother and I were
having when it all started.
It doesn't matter.
You had a commitment to mom,
and a bigger commitment to me.
And I still have a
commitment to you.
You're my daughter.
Nothing will change that.
You're my baby. I love you.
What can I do to
make it up to you?
Don't get married.
Jenny! Jenny. Come on.
Don't walk away.
Jenny. Jenny!
I can't do that.
If you marry her,
then there's no chance
of you ever getting
back with mom.
Jenny, I'm sorry.
That's never gonna happen.
Even if I wanted it, your
mother would never have me back.
Maybe she would.
Don't you two still
love each other?
You can't just turn it off.
Yes. I still love her.
I'll never stop loving her.
Then fight for her dad!
Fight for us.
I knew it.
My own father, my
knight in shining armor,
the man who taught me to
be strong is too scared
to keep our little
family together.
Jenny, I...
I love Eliza!
Oh my god.
Jenny. Jenny, please
just meet her!
No, absolutely not.
(gentle music)
Jenny. Jenny!
Please just meet her.
No.
(engine revving)
So what happened now?
What did your dad
wanna tell you?
He's getting married to
some floozy name Eliza.
Eliza? Sounds like
someone's receptionist.
How'd you know?
Know what?
She's his receptionist!
Stop. It's no time to laugh.
Okay, I'm sorry.
I'm just kidding.
But I did hit the
nail on the head.
Eliza sounds so, so secretarial.
Eliza, could you
get me a coffee?
Eliza, could you copy this?
Oh Eliza.
- Okay. Stop!
- Could you gimme a...
This is serious.
My father can't just marry
someone I've never met.
Why? You know, maybe she's nice.
Are you my best friend,
or are you trying to
something from my father too?
Okay, I'm sorry.
I'm just trying to figure
out what's going on too.
You know, you should
really get back to school
before you get in more trouble.
You're one absence away
from getting a suspension.
Well, I guess I'm
getting suspended
'cause I have to go tell my mom.
No, you can tell
her after school.
No, I can't!
She has to know.
(tire bursting)
What was that?
Are you okay?
Yeah, I think my tire blew.
(gentle music)
Your tire is in shreds.
It's a new tire!
Maybe you just ran over a nail.
Nails don't do that.
I guess I have to
call a tow truck now.
Why don't you just
call your dad?
Why would I do that?
I don't know, maybe
he's your dad.
It was so great meeting you.
Take your time. Think about it.
It's a beautiful home.
Hopefully this will
be the one for you.
Call me anytime, seriously.
Day or night.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Jenny, are you okay?
What's wrong?
Shouldn't you be in school?
What's going on?
It's dad.
What now?
He's getting married.
Mom, your ex-husband,
my father's getting
married to some harlot.
You knew, didn't you?
I can tell in your
face you knew.
Yeah. I didn't want to...
You didn't wanna tell me?
I thought your father should
be the one to tell you.
How long have you known?
Not long.
I actually caught them kissing
in the car like teenagers.
Disgusting.
So what's going on?
Is this when it all switches?
When what switches?
When the child
becomes the parent?
No, that's not happening.
And it probably won't ever.
Aren't you upset?
Why should I be upset?
Maybe now he'll
stop bothering me.
No, honey, it's you
I'm worried about.
Now you have to deal
with another woman.
No, I don't have to
deal with her at all.
In fact, I don't even wanna
meet her or see him ever again.
Okay, unfortunately
that can't happen.
Why not?
Because he's your
father and you love him.
He betrayed you and me, mom.
What kind of father is he?
Jenny, he loves you.
Just has issues.
That's obvious.
He's not a bad
person. All right?
He just has a hard time
controlling his masculinity.
Mom! That's gross.
I could have said
that differently,
but you know what I mean.
He's a man and they cheat.
Not all men cheat.
- Just my father.
- Yes. No.
Look, you are gonna find
someone who is true to you,
who loves you, and respects you.
If dad couldn't be that way,
how is any man supposed
to be that way with me?
They're all like
this, aren't they?
No. No. They're not all
like that, all right.
And I was at fault
too for the breakup.
Oh, really? What did you do?
Hmm?
Nothing, mom.
Your perfect mom, and
dad, daddy's a jerk.
He'll regret this.
He'll come running back to you
and you won't be there for him
and he'll live the rest
of his life like a hermit.
And you'll be married
- to some billionaire.
- Oh!
Who takes you all over the world
on private jets and yachts!
I love this plan.
Can you please find
this man for me?
And he'll have a son.
And I'll never have to work
again a day in my life.
I'll spend all
days on the beach.
And all our nights in the clubs.
- That sounds great.
- It does.
Actually. I don't want that.
I love my life.
I love the real estate
business I created for myself.
I'd miss my friends and
my clients and our home,
and you baby.
I will never leave you, mommy.
Now, if we could go on
all day shopping spree,
it might be worth it.
I can offer you the ice
cream in the freezer.
Maybe we can eat out of the tub.
Come on. Let's get outta here.
Lemme just check.
Oh no, I have another client
coming right now, honey.
I'm sorry baby.
I'm gonna have to catch
up with you, okay.
Mom.
It's a work day. Sorry honey.
I'll be home.
- Okay?
- Okay.
I'll see ya.
I love you, babe. Be safe.
(intense music)
(car horn hooting)
(gentle music)
Did you forget something, honey?
(gasps) Oh, sorry.
You scared me.
I thought you were my daughter.
Do I look like your daughter?
No. Of course not.
You must be Mr. Newman.
Kayla Thompson.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you for welcoming
me on such short notice.
Of course.
What would you
like to see first?
We should go upstairs
and work our way down.
Perfect. We'll start
in the master bedroom.
The home is 6,000 square feet.
It has six bedrooms, a gym,
five and a half bathrooms.
- That's impressive.
- Yes.
It was built in 1997 and then
completely remodeled in 2010.
The master is like
its own apartment
with 1800 square
feet of living space.
You have room for a
sitting area and over here,
double walk-in closets.
And my favorite,
the master bath,
complete with a brand
new soaking tub.
Mr. Newman!
Mr. Newman, where'd you go,
Mr. Newman!
This walk-in closet is enormous.
My wife would love it.
Yes.
Are these cedar lined drawers?
You know, I'm not sure.
This one.
I don't know.
Let me see.
It doesn't look like it.
(Kayla screaming)
(suspense music)
Where do you think you'll go?
There's no point in screaming.
It's a big house.
No one can hear you.
- Let me go.
- Let me go.
Why? Why are you doing this?
It doesn't matter why
I'm doing this, okay.
[Woman] Kayla. We're back.
We've made a decision.
It's your lucky day.
But if you go to the police,
I'm not coming
back just for you,
I'm coming back for
your daughter too.
Do you got it?
I said, do you got it?
I'm gonna let you go
now, okay. Alright.
Clean yourself up,
you look terrible.
I'll be right there.
(intense music)
Well, that was fast.
(birds chirping)
You scared me.
Sorry about that.
So when are you gonna meet her?
Supposed to meet her
tomorrow at Newport Beach.
Beach, why?
They think it's some
safe space I guess.
Probably for when
you push her down
'cause the sand's so soft.
Yeah. That's satisfying.
I can just imagine
you running up to her,
like you wanna give her a hug
and then you push her down
and stomp her chest.
Yeah, but that's fantasy.
In reality, there's really
nothing I can do about it.
Nothing?
Not only does my father kill me,
but my mom will too.
Why is your mom so bad about it?
It's all about
keeping the peace.
She thinks if we keep the peace,
it'll be easier for me.
Do you think your mom
still loves your dad?
I think they both
still love each other.
Well, then why don't we
just formulate a plan
and get them back together?
Yeah. We can kill Eliza.
And then at her funeral,
they just fall back in
love with each other.
Yeah. And then we
can have the priest
who's burying Eliza remarry
your parents at the cemetery.
Yeah. That's morbid
yet beautiful.
Anyway, I think you should
use your dad's credit card
to buy yourself some new clothes
so you can meet this Eliza.
Yeah. He can't get mad at
me for buying new clothes
to impress him
new girlie-friend?
Thanks.
You good?
Yeah. Yeah. I'm good.
I just, I...
I know the perfect store.
Wanna go?
- Yes.
- Okay.
(bright music)
(gentle music)
(gentle music continues)
Jenny, we're here. Jenny.
Jenny, this is Eliza.
And Eliza, this is
my daughter, Jenny.
You're even more beautiful
than your father said you were.
Really?
Because my father says
I'm a spoiled brat.
Jenny!
Actually, my parents divorced
when I was your age too.
They did?
Sure did. Except instead
of splitting time
with both my
parents like you do,
both of my parents kicked me out
and I lived by myself until
I could save up enough money
to go to college.
And did you?
Not only did I go to college,
but I went on to graduate school
and got my master's degree.
- Master's in what?
- Biochemistry.
That's impressive.
Sorry for being so
rude to you earlier,
this is all new to me.
My father just dropped
this bomb on me.
Why don't the two of you
go take a walk on the beach
to get to know each other?
That's a great idea.
What do you say, Jen?
It's Jenny.
I'm sorry. Jenny.
Promise it won't happen again.
Okay.
I'm so glad that
we got to do this.
Your dad really
means a lot to me,
and I know that you
mean so much to him.
Yeah, I guess.
I just can't believe you guys
are getting married so soon.
[Eliza] So you're a sophomore?
[Jenny] I'm a junior.
Any plans for college?
Definitely planning
on going far away.
Maybe East coast.
I'm sure your dad
won't be too happy
to have you so far away.
I don't think he cares.
Sure he does.
How would you know that?
I've gotten to know
your father pretty well.
In three months?
Yes, in three months.
I wouldn't be marrying him
if I didn't learn everything
about him in such a
short amount of time.
I think it takes three
months to get use to new car.
It's certainly isn't enough
time to know my father.
We have an undeniable chemistry.
Hopefully one day
you'll get to experience
what I'm feeling
for your father.
Hopefully not.
What's that supposed to mean?
It means I feel like you
and my father should date
for a while before you actually
commit to marrying him.
Wow. You sound like an old lady.
I never expected
Frank's daughter
to be such a traditionalist.
It's not about
being traditional.
It's about coming
into someone's life
and trying to take
over everything.
Jen.
It's Jenny, not Jen!
I thought you said it
wouldn't happen again.
I'm sorry. Jenny.
I have no interest in taking
over your father's life.
Whatever.
Look, Jenny, I don't appreciate
you making assumptions
about me.
Why don't you gimme
a chance here?
And why would I do that?
Because I'm marrying
your father.
- I'm going to be your...
- No, don't say it. Please.
What? Stepmother?
You had to say it.
What's wrong with that?
I have a mother and you
calling yourself my stepmother
only makes this worse.
What happened? What happened?
Jenny, how'd it
go? What's wrong?
You know exactly
what's wrong, dad.
No, I do not.
Are you really thinking
about marrying her?
Yes, I am.
What if I told you
I don't like her,
are you still gonna marry her?
I don't know, that depends.
Well, I don't like her.
I don't understand.
You both just had a really
productive conversation
on the beach.
Productive. Is that what
it was supposed to be?
That sounds so sterile.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean
it to sound like that.
Well, it did. I've gotta go.
Jenny! Please don't
be so hard on her.
Dad, honestly do you
know anything about her?
Yes. I know a lot about her.
Like, what? Where was she born?
Exactly!
I knew she was
raised in New York,
I just don't know
where she was born.
Well, you should, you
should know everything
about her before marrying her.
Sure, dad, go ahead and laugh.
But let me ask you
a serious question.
Have you done a
background check on her?
No. Of course not.
And I didn't do a background
check on your mother
when I got married to her too.
Yeah, but you were
both 25 years old,
and you grew up in
the same neighborhood.
You don't even know
anything about Eliza.
She's been working for me.
I know she's a good woman,
and I know that she has
an amazing work ethic.
Yeah, but you should
still check up
on her before letting
her into our family.
Okay. That's enough.
Stop with this nonsense!
I fall in love with
a wonderful woman,
and you wanna ruin it!
You ruined my life.
Why can't I ruin yours?
Oh, so this is a
game to you now?
No, it's my life!
And it's my life too!
I would appreciate
if you stayed outta my
personal business, okay?
Sure. Dad, whatever you say.
In fact, I will only stay
outta your personal business,
I'll stay outta your life too
and Eliza's permanently. Bye.
Goodbye! Come on.
Where you going?
Jenny, I didn't
mean it! Come back!
So how do you think it went?
Not good, huh?
Not so good.
Everything was going fine
until I said the
word stepmother.
Get it, but she didn't
have to turn so nasty.
I totally understand.
It's a big change,
especially for a teenager.
I just thought that
she would appreciate
that I found someone I love.
I love you too.
We'll get through this.
She'll love me
eventually. I promise.
Promise?
Hey.
You okay?
No, I'm not okay.
What happened?
She's a monster!
I didn't know your dad
had such bad taste.
No. I mean that she's
mean and I don't like her.
Look, I'm sorry, all right.
What do you expect from a woman
who's just marrying
your dad for his money?
Do you think?
Jenny, come on.
Are you that blind?
Your dad's rich and
this woman comes in,
and wants to marry him
after knowing him for what?
Three months? You weren't
born yesterday, were you?
No. But I guess I just
thought my dad was smarter
than that, you know?
Well, he is not
thinking with his head.
He's thinking with
something else.
Sam!
I'm just keeping it real.
What the?
What's up?
There's someone following us.
Well, how do you know?
Yeah. He's been behind
us and following us
ever since I picked you up.
What if he just had
the same route as us?
I don't know.
Well, we should...
You should try to
figure something out.
Like what?
(intense music)
Oh my God, he just hit us.
Why is he following us?
Who is this guy?
I don't know.
Okay. Yeah, I think
we should call 911.
(cellphone ringing)
[911 Operator] 911,
what's your emergency?
I'm in Newport, heading
south. Please help.
We just passed
McCoys's Fish House.
[911 Operator] Okay, calm down.
First thing I need you to do
is make sure your
doors are locked.
Please have someone
find me quickly.
Please, please.
Oh my God, he just hit me again.
- Why does he hate us?
- [911 Operator] Don't panic.
Drive safely. Stay calm.
Go, go! Come on. Go!
[911 Operator] Here's
what I need you to do,
I need you to stay calm
and you're gonna head straight
to the closest police station.
Just gimme a moment to find it.
Okay, I got it.
There's a police station
at 112 Ocean Avenue.
Go north and make
a right on Ocean.
- [Sam] You can make...
- [911] It will be about...
- A right turn right here.
- [911] One mile down.
[Sam] Go faster, we're
still few miles out.
Go, go!
Yeah, he's still behind us.
I think the turn is up here,
but I'm not sure.
What's wrong with this guy?
Why is he doing this?
[911 Operator] Can you identify
the vehicle make, model,
color, license plate?
Anything will help us.
Go! Go faster, please.
I'm too young to die, please!
Go right here!
[911 Operator] You
should be coming
upon the police station shortly.
It's on your right.
It's right there!
(suspense music)
(horn honking)
[Sam] Here it is coming up.
It worked! That
worked. He's gone!
(suspense music)
(Sam sighing)
We did it.
Just glad you're okay.
Yeah. I don't know who
could be after me like that.
Are you sure you
didn't cut him off?
You know, some type of
overblown road rage.
I'm certain, all right.
There was nothing
that happened before he
started following us.
Yeah, but listen,
I'm sorry for the
way I treated Eliza.
I was just mad at you,
but I took it out on her.
And I'm sorry that
I sprung her on you.
I should have considered
your feelings first,
but I just thought that
you'd be excited to meet her.
Would you be willing to give
her another shot, please?
Just one more shot.
I promise if you don't like her,
I will leave her and I'll
never get married again.
Yeah, sure.
That's why I love you, sweetie.
Just one more chance.
I guess I'll try again.
- Thanks. I love you.
- I love you.
So I will take you
back to the truck
and I will follow you home.
(gentle music)
I am so happy you're
doing this with me today.
Did I have a choice?
Yes.
Not the way my father
explained it to me.
Well, you're here now,
so we may as well try to
get to know each other
and maybe even have some fun.
What do you say?
Whatever.
You like the shopping
center, don't you?
Sure. Yeah, it's cool.
What do you say we get
you some new outfits?
Oh no. I'm not for sale.
You can't buy me!
Jenny, I'm not
trying to buy you.
Your father said you needed
some new clothes for school.
He was gonna spend
the money anyway.
Come on. What's the
worst that can happen?
You get some new outfits
and you can still hate me.
I don't hate you,
just I don't know you.
Then let's get to
know each other
through my favorite
tradition, shopping.
Come on, Jenny.
I don't bite, I promise.
Okay, sure.
Let's do it.
Let's put our feelings aside
Its a good start
Let the spending begin
Lets hit the spot
Finding designer cliches
Its a brand new day
Stack the Gucci lets play
This is our merry go round
And say I want this song
Lets make our perfect moment
To say love is
Pick it up with the love
And we not even done
This is the place to be
On a shopping spree
Oh and enough's not enough
And we're not even done
There's no better place to
be than a shopping spree
For the love that I love
Nothing like playing
in the shackle
Of feeling love
We on a roll
All in mode
Where's that Jeep
we want to go
Let that day
treats all unfold
Looking through
the near view
Oh ivory keeps looking
Let's just buy everything
That purse says my name
Like just know what to say
This is love
We spending all night long
We're blending
Pick it up with the love
Every night and day
This is the place to be
On a shopping free
And enough's not enough
And I'm not even done
There's no better place to
be than on a shopping spree
(birds chirping)
Thank you for agreeing
to go to dinner.
Eliza's not that bad.
I really don't wanna do this.
But you're doing
this for me, right?
Well, of course I am.
Jenny, you look so cute.
That's one of the outfits
I got you, isn't it?
Yeah. I love it.
How are you doing?
You look amazing.
Eliza, this is my mother, Kayla.
- It is so good to meet you.
- Oh.
Jenny has told me so
many wonderful things.
Oh, she has, has she?
She certainly has.
You've been such a
good influence on her.
Well, I am her mother.
You certainly are, and
a gorgeous one at that.
Come on. I prepared a
beautiful dinner for all of us.
Wow. This is impressive.
Frank is obviously doing well.
You've never been here before?
No. Shockingly I haven't.
Now I see why I wasn't invited.
Yeah, you might have
gone to the judge
and tried to get more money.
What? What's that
supposed to mean?
I just mean that Frank
has been doing really well
since the two of you broke up.
And if you saw how well,
you might have tried
to sue him again.
Oh, I didn't sue him.
That's not what he told me.
(suspense music)
Kayla! I'm so happy that
you could come tonight.
Yeah, thanks for inviting me.
Eliza's the one
that invited you.
Of course. Why
would you invite me?
Mom, you're being
a bit aggressive.
Can we turn it
down a little bit?
Yeah, sure. I'm sorry.
This is just all a bit daunting.
Daunting? Jenny said that
you were perfectly fine
with me getting married.
No, I am. Of course.
No, it's just, I dunno.
It's all so real now.
We're in your mansion with
your beautiful fiance.
It was just five years ago
we were married and in love
with a adorable little
11-year-old daughter.
I am sorry.
I'm glad that you came tonight.
I was hoping that we could
use tonight for healing.
Right?
Right. Good idea, dad.
Sure.
Excellent. So why don't
we go to the kitchen?
There's a beautiful
(indistinct) teapot
in the kitchen.
Mom, are you coming?
Yeah, sure.
(gentle music)
[Jenny] Mom?
Well, honey, that
was quite delicious.
Thanks sweetie. It's
my mother's recipe.
Wow. Tell your mother
compliments of the chef.
(glasses clinking)
Yes, Eliza. It was quite
good, especially the potatoes.
Mom, you should try
cooking like this sometime.
You don't think
I cook like this?
I thought you loved my cooking.
No, I do.
It's just, this is different.
How's that?
Yeah, they're different,
but they're both
just as great, right?
Jenny, your mother's
cooking is very good.
I didn't mean it as
her cooking isn't good.
I meant it as maybe
she started cooking
like Eliza sometimes.
It's fine, Jenny.
Please, I understand
what you're saying,
But do you really?
Because if I'm being honest,
how come you never take me
shopping more like Eliza did?
We never spend girl
time together anymore.
Well, ever since you turned 16,
you don't wanna spend
any time with me.
It's like I have a
disease or something.
Well, maybe if you didn't
act like you ruled me
and be my friend like Eliza,
I wouldn't feel that way.
Eliza is your father's fiance.
I am your mother.
Jenny! Jenny.
Thank you for the dinner, Eliza.
Frank, thank you for the invite.
What about Jenny?
She can stay with you.
I'm sure she'd prefer it.
(intense music)
(birds chirping)
Kayla, wait, please.
(engine revving)
- Jenny.
- Hey Eliza.
You know your mom loves you
more than anything, right?
Yeah. But sometimes I
question if they both love me
or if they're just
being selfish.
They're not being selfish,
they're just trying to live
the best lives that they can
and trying to be as good of
parents as they know how to be.
You should cut 'em some slack.
- You think?
- Yeah.
Just because they're adults
doesn't mean they have
it all figured out.
- Thanks Eliza.
- Anytime, kid.
I'm really excited
for your wedding.
- You are?
- Yeah.
- Well, I was thinking.
- What?
How would you like to
be my maid of honor?
Wait, really?
Yeah, really!
I thought your maid of honor
was supposed to be
your best friend.
Well, we're gonna be best
friends, so there's that.
And my current best friend
lives outta the country,
so she's not gonna be there
for the wedding anyway.
What do you say?
- I would love to.
- Amazing.
It's gonna be so fun.
I'm assuming since
your mom took the car,
you're gonna be sleeping
in your old room tonight.
Yeah.
Good. Let's get breakfast
together tomorrow.
- That sounds great.
- Amazing. I'll see you then.
Okay.
- Hey Eliza.
- Yeah.
I'm sorry for being so
rude to you earlier.
It's okay. I
completely understand.
Get some rest.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay. Good night.
(tires screeching)
(birds chirping)
(suspense music)
Who is this woman?
(suspense music)
What? What are you doing?
Marty. Marty. Marty. Marty.
(cellphone ringing)
Why in the world is
Kayla calling this late?
Marty? It's me, Kayla.
Kayla.
I'm sorry for calling so late,
but there's just something
that I need to know.
[Marty] What?
What do you know about
Frank's assistant Eliza?
Marty, are you there?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm still here.
Eliza, what do you
know about her?
What can you tell me?
She's a bit of an
issue because, well...
Marty, come on, who is she?
Where did she come from?
She is the one that
tore our business apart.
That's who she is.
She did?
I knew it.
I knew there was
something weird with her.
What? How did she do that?
I can't tell you.
Marty, come on. You
have to tell me.
They're engaged and she's
ruining my relationship
with my daughter.
They're getting married?
[Kayla] Yes.
They hardly know each other.
Is Frank really that dumb?
Yes he is.
Come on, Marty, tell
me what you know.
She threatened me!
She found some stuff out
about me and the company,
and she threatened to turn us
into the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
How does she find all of that?
I don't know exactly.
We think she was snooping
around in the office,
and she found passwords
and then she went
into the computers.
But I don't really know
and I don't have any proof.
Are her threat's real?
I don't know.
I mean, but I couldn't risk it,
so that's why I separated
myself from Frank
and especially because
Blake was murdered.
So she knew how
to get rid of you?
Well, yeah, of course.
I'm gone, right?
Marty, did you ever find
anything out about her?
You bet I did.
What? Tell me.
She's a con artist.
She has aliases and
she manipulates people
that take...
Marty? Are you okay?
Marty, are you there?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I thought I heard
something downstairs.
Hold on.
(suspense music)
Marty, are you okay?
Wait a minute. Hold on.
The front door's ajar.
Wait, hold on.
Sorry. Are you still there?
[Kayla] Yeah. Yeah, I'm here.
What happened?
I think I left the
front door ajar.
It must have fallen open
or something like that.
But do you know what?
All this talk about this
woman gets me a little scared.
Scared. Why are
you scared of her?
I'm not scared of her.
I'm scared of who she knows.
Marty, you have to
tell me what you know.
I told you.
I mean, the thing is, is that
every time I talk about this,
it makes me crazy.
I locked the door.
(Marty grunting)
(tense music)
Marty, is that you?
Who is this?
Oh my god. Oh my God!
[911 Recording] You've just
reached emergency service.
Please hold. You wait.
(cellphone buzzing)
(intense music)
Jenny, I need you out
of that house now.
I don't want you in
there with that woman!
(Eliza knocking)
Who was that?
Just my friend, Sam.
Anyway, what's up?
Oh, well I just
made some coffee,
and I wanted to see if
you'd like to join me.
Where's my dad?
He went out.
- This late.
- You know him.
He likes to take
his meetings late
so he doesn't have
to deal with traffic.
No, I didn't know he did that.
There's probably a lot you
don't know about your dad.
There's a whole
other side to him.
The side that I
got to learn first.
Now I'm trying to learn
the side you've known
your whole life.
So how about that coffee?
Actually, I think I'm gonna
go back to my mom's tonight.
Why is that?
Because you know she
doesn't have someone,
someone as wonderful as you are.
So it's probably best if
I keep living with her.
I totally understand.
I think it's a good idea.
Your mom is clearly
lonely and a bit spiteful.
It'd probably be really
good for her psyche
to have you around.
You know, it's gotta
be really tough
seeing your ex-husband remarry,
especially someone younger.
My mother might be older,
but she's still a
beautiful woman.
Jenny. I didn't
mean it like that.
Of course your
mother is beautiful.
Then what did you mean?
I just mean it must be a bit odd
to see your ex remarry
someone 20 years younger.
Yeah, I guess so.
Now if you wouldn't mind,
I have homework to do.
No problem.
- Goodnight.
- Night.
Hey mom.
I'm coming to pick you up.
Get out of that house now!
Oh my God. You're amazing.
She just totally creep
me out right now.
I think there's more to her
than your father realizes.
I think she has something
to do with Blake's murder.
I need you out of that house.
Don't pack anything up.
Just meet me on the driveway!
Okay.
(birds chirping)
Hi Kayla.
What are you doing here?
I'm here to pick up my daughter.
I thought she was
staying here tonight.
Yeah. No, on second thought,
she's coming home tonight.
She has school tomorrow.
But she is home.
No, her home is with me.
Are you sure you don't
wanna stay here tonight?
Yeah, I'm sure.
But I was planning
us a movie night.
Didn't you smell the popcorn?
Yeah, but I have
school and homework
and all my stuff is
at my mom's home.
Sure, I understand.
I'm gonna miss you though.
Yeah, yeah, same.
- Okay, tell Frank thanks.
- Sure.
Maybe we can try to do another
family dinner sometime soon.
Yeah, sure. That would be nice.
Night Jenny.
(car engine revving)
What's wrong with that woman?
She's up to something, Jenny.
I can feel it.
She doesn't love your father.
So you think she killed Marty?
Yes, I do.
But why?
Because she wants his money.
She would go through
all that trouble
just to steal his money?
Yeah, people do it all the time.
Desperate people do
desperate things.
There's gotta be more though.
Do you know why I raced
to get you tonight?
Because you love me?
Yes. Because I love you.
No, I called dad's
other partner, Marty.
And while I was on
the phone with him,
he thought someone was
breaking into his house
and something happened
and we lost connection.
So?
Don't you think that's
a strange coincidence?
Yeah, but she can't be
in two places at once.
Yeah, that's why I think
she's working with someone.
The other day when you left
my open house, I was...
You were what?
- I was attacked.
- Wait, what?
Yeah, this man acted like
he was coming to look
at the house and he
hit me over the head.
And if it weren't for other
clients who showed up,
he would've killed me.
Mom, did you call the police?
Why not?
Because I was afraid.
Because he said if I
did, he would come back
and kill us both.
Oh my God!
We have to warn Dad.
He's a big boy. He can
take care of himself.
Mom, Blake and Marty
were big boys too.
What if she kill's Dad?
I know you're mad at him,
but you must still love him.
I don't love your father.
I am grateful to him
that he gave me you,
but I am not in love with him.
Come on. You must still
have feelings for him.
Your father destroyed my life.
I don't care what
happens to him.
I only care what happens to you.
Well, if daddy gets murdered
by his crazy fiance,
I'd be sad for the
rest of my life.
(tense music)
[Reception] Dr. Anderson
to maternity please.
Dr. Anderson!
I don't even remember him.
I think you were
like five or six
the last time we saw him,
it was a holiday party
at your dad's office.
Kayla, it's been a long time.
Hi Marty. I'm so sorry.
Are you okay?
I'll live.
Thankfully the
intruder's gun locked up
when he was there and he
got nervous and ran off.
But he did hit me pretty hard.
Well, you always
were hardheaded.
Wow. So you're Jenny.
I remember you when you
were about this tall.
Come give your
uncle Marty a hug.
Careful though. I'm
in a lot of pain.
Thanks.
All right, enough
of the pleasantries.
Let's get serious.
Have a seat.
Oh!
So what do you know
of my father's fiance?
Well, after the
partnership went down,
I did a little research
investigating on the woman.
Found a lot of like
surprising things about her,
but your father didn't
wanna know about them.
Why?
Because she seduced him.
Guys are weak when
a beautiful woman
is throwing herself at them.
Okay, what did you find out?
Well, Eliza and her
husband, they travel
and what they do
is they rob people.
Wait, her husband?
Yeah, she was married,
but, but they couldn't
find her husband.
They still haven't.
So Frank can't even
legally marry her.
No, I tried to tell him that,
but he just didn't care.
Frank.
Just do it!
I don't care what it takes.
Get it done.
Frank, I had our
investigators do a little bit
of research on Eliza.
I told you not to
investigate her.
Frank, I'm trying to
protect the company.
Protect our company, huh?
Or destroying me.
What are my partners
trying to do,
get rid of me?
No, no, not at all.
So what did you find?
Eliza has a criminal
history, Frank.
Come on.
My fiance is not a criminal.
- And.
- And what?
Come on. Spit it out!
Your fiance is married, Frank.
(chuckles) Now you're really
starting to make me laugh.
Our investigators believe
that Eliza and her husband,
a Philip Thomas have been
running around the world
with money they stole from
wealthy businessmen, Frank!
That's ridiculous.
Show me the proof.
Here, look!
Well, she's my fiance,
I'll take care of it.
And don't you ever use
company money again
to investigate anybody
without my approval!
Your approval?
Did you forget that
we're equal parts
in this company, Frank?
Which is why you shouldn't
be investigating anybody.
Whatever, Frank!
I'm just trying to protect
you, to warn you against her.
Where is she?
She's gone, Frank.
I fired her. She's gone!
- You what?
- Fired her.
Get outta my office!
Get out!
Get out. Now!
So he completely ignored
everything you had to say?
Kayla, I had a laundry
list of illegal activities,
but he just didn't care.
Wait, so staying in that
house with that woman.
Wait, wait!
Do you think there's
any possibility
that he was involved
in her crimes
and that's why he didn't care?
No. I think he was just
so enamored with her
that he just didn't really
think about those things.
No, my father's not like that.
Jennifer, honey, you don't
know adults and especially men.
No, he's not like that.
Maybe she's using him.
What do you mean?
Maybe she's threatening
him or something.
That's why he's been
acting so weird.
Could be.
But there's just no way
for us to find that out.
The same way you found
out the other stuff.
Look, it's been a long night,
and you need to get some rest.
I want you to feel better.
Stay safe, okay.
Well they either
broke into my house
and I interrupted him,
or they came there to kill me.
Let's hope he was just
trying to rob you.
We'll see you soon.
Definitely. See you kiddo.
Bye Marty.
See ya Kayla.
- [Reception] Mr.
- Stafford, telephone please.
Do you actually think Eliza
could do something like that?
[Kayla] Let's go
home sweetheart.
Let's get some sleep.
(suspense music)
Hey Doc, I didn't think you'd
get here until the morning.
How you feeling?
I'm in a lot of pain.
I'm in a lot of pain and I
really can't move at all.
I think maybe I broke something.
Yeah, it's definitely possible.
Did you happen to get a look
at the guy who did that to you?
Why are you asking me that?
You're a doctor.
Well, I'm a concerned citizen.
You know, I have kids and
I just wanna make sure
that they're safe.
Yeah, I did.
He was like an all in black
and his face was covered,
but I still know the size he
was and I saw his eye color.
Did you get a chance to talk
to the police about that?
No. They rushed me off into
an ambulance right away.
But the officer said
that a detective would
come into my hospital room,
and get a statement
and interview me.
I'll tell you what, as soon
as the detective gets here,
I'll make sure he comes
and sees you, all right?
Yeah, lemme check you out.
All right.
Can you lean forward for me?
I'm gonna need help.
Okay, all right. Come on.
(Marty grunting)
Okay. Alright. Deep breath in.
Oh shoot. Hold on.
And now?
It really hurts when I do that.
Deep breath in for me.
(Marty grunting)
And now?
You think it's ribs?
It could be.
- Can I sit back?
- No. Hang on.
It really hurts
when I breathe in.
Lemme just check out
one more thing for you.
Okay.
Ow. Ow!
That really hurt.
- Yeah, sorry about that.
- Okay.
Okay. So what do you think doc?
Yeah, I think it's time.
What do you mean?
(Marty screaming)
What the heck?
(Marty grunting)
(gentle music)
(Phillip mocking)
(intense music)
[Nurse] Code blue. Code blue!
Room 364, code blue!
Code Blue, room 364.
(birds chirping)
(intense music)
Jenny! Eliza!
Another useless meeting.
Hi.
Hi honey.
So what's all this?
- Don't you remember?
- No.
It's our four month anniversary.
Oh. If I knew that we would
be celebrating every month,
I would've brought you flowers.
It's okay.
I wanted to do something
special for you.
So I made your favorite dessert.
Chocolate lava cake with
a little raspberry puree.
Okay. Oh, thanks.
What? I thought you
said chocolate lava cake
was your favorite.
No, it is my favorite.
I didn't expect you to be up
so late, especially cooking.
You work so hard.
I wanted to do
something nice for you.
Okay, but where's Jenny?
Kayla came to pick her up.
She figured since all her
school stuff was home,
it would just be
easier to sleep there.
I thought she was
living with us now.
I guess she'll just bounce
from house to house.
Okay. I guess if that
works then that's fine.
Isn't this better,
we have the house
just the two of us?
What do you mean?
How about a different
kind of dessert?
Oh!
(intense music)
I can't wait anymore.
- Wait for what?
- I just love you so much.
I can't stand being
engaged. I wanna be married.
But we're gonna get married.
I don't wanna wait.
I wanna have you.
But you have me.
I won't have you until
you're committed to me.
Sweetie, I am committed. I am.
Why are you crying?
What's wrong?
You don't understand.
I've never met anyone like you.
I never thought I was good
enough for a man like you.
Even when we started
working together,
I never thought I would
get your attention.
But look at us now.
What makes you think that
you couldn't have me? Huh?
Look at you.
You're beautiful, you're
talented, you're smart.
No I'm not.
You're just saying that
to make me feel good.
I'm just a girl from the
other side of the tracks.
Everything about me is a facade.
That's not true.
Yes it is.
But you don't care, and
that's why I love you.
You know me for me and not
the family I was born into.
Eliza, I love you.
I mean you woke me up.
I was drifting through life.
You changed my life.
Then let's get married now.
Now? How?
We'll fly to Vegas!
What about the wedding?
We can still have the wedding.
Nobody needs to
know we're married.
It'll be like our little secret.
I don't know.
Please Frank.
I wanna commit to you under God,
and I want you to commit to me.
Ever since I was a little girl,
I've dreamed of my wedding
and now I have my
future husband.
Don't make me wait.
Please, Frank.
- Okay.
- Okay?
Okay, I'll call my
pilot in the morning.
Not in the morning!
We have to go now.
- Now?
- Yeah. Why wait?
Call your pilot and tell him
to meet us at the airport.
There's 24 hour
chapels in Vegas.
I don't know.
Come on Frank.
Where's your zest for life?
I thought that you were
spontaneous and exciting,
but now I'm starting to think
that you're just an old fogey.
Hey, I'm not old!
Okay then let's do this.
Okay, let's do this!
I'm gonna get ready!
(Frank chuckling)
Wow.
Oh boy. I can't believe
we're doing this.
Be spontaneous,
Frank. Spontaneous.
(gentle music)
Here we go.
Vegas here we come!
(engine revving)
(gentle music)
(loud banging)
What was that?
(suspense music)
Mom. Mom.
Honey.
I'm scared. I heard something.
What did you hear?
(banging)
Is there someone in the house?
Mom, what if it's the same
person who tried to kill Marty?
Here. Pepper spray.
Good idea. Stay here.
(suspense music)
(Jenny muffled screaming)
Jenny! Jenny!
Jenny! Jenny.
Jenny! Jenny!
(suspense music)
(tires screeching)
Jenny! Someone help!
(suspense music)
Stay away from me.
Normally I'll put
a muzzle on you,
but there's no one around.
So scream all you want.
Get off me!
Sorry sweetie, but I make
the rules around here.
Who are you?
What do you want?
You smell good.
- Someone help, please!
- Someone help!
No one can hear you.
I told you that.
- What do you want?
- Why are you doing this?
Please, my dad's rich,
he'll pay the ransom.
I'll give you his number.
That plan's already in place.
In fact, we have an
even better plan.
Who's we?
Me and my wife.
You're married.
What kind of man are
you? Where is she?
She's in Vegas right
now getting married.
What are you talking about?
She's marrying your
daddy as we speak.
You are Eliza's husband?
Why are you laughing at me?
What's wrong with you?
Because you rich
people are so stupid.
I'm 16, I'm not rich!
No, but your daddy is
and he's gonna pay.
In fact, Eliza's gonna
call me in two minutes
and she's gonna tell me that
we own half of everything
that your dad spends his
entire life working for.
Poor Frank.
What to marry my dad?
Thinking with other
parts of your body
can get you in trouble.
(Phillip grunting)
Not too smart little girl.
(suspense music)
(Phillip knocking)
I know you're in there, Jenny.
(suspense music)
Please. Please. Go away.
I'm not going anywhere
and neither are you.
Stop making things so difficult!
(intense music)
(intense music)
(intense music continues)
Oh my gosh.
It sure is beautiful.
I called ahead to let
them know we were coming.
I can't wait.
We're getting married!
You must be Frank and Eliza.
So sorry for the late notice.
No worries. That's the usual.
I just need you to
sign some papers.
Is this the marriage license?
It certainly is.
Is this real?
Sure, it's real.
There's nothing fake
about our weddings.
We are fully licensed
by the state of Nevada.
So if we both sign
this, it's official.
Well, you have to say I do.
It's not official if
you don't say your vows.
Frank, stop asking
so many questions.
Let's make it official.
Just hold on here.
What? Don't you wanna marry me?
I do.
Well that's half the
vows right there.
I do too.
Wait a minute. I
didn't say any vows.
Look before I sign anything,
I think that I should
have my lawyer take a look
at the paperwork first.
Frank!
I am just gonna give
you guys a moment.
Thank you.
This isn't a business deal.
Then what is it?
It's love.
This is what people
who are in love do.
Look, I got married
a long time ago,
and it turned into a nightmare.
So you're having
second thoughts?
Yes.
But you were so
confident before.
(cellphone buzzing)
Don't answer that, Frank,
I have to take this.
For once forget about work.
Frank!
What's up?
Jennifer's gone!
What?
She was kidnapped.
Kidnapped? What?
Where is she?
There was a noise and
I went down to check,
there was nothing
there. And then...
Who was it?
I dunno. I heard something
and I went back upstairs
and she was gone
and there was just like a
car driving down the street.
You didn't get a face
or a license plate?
What the hell are you doing?
What are you talking about?
I was just going
through with the plan
that you came up with.
The plan was that you
were supposed to take her
after I married Frank.
You're not married to Frank yet.
Isn't that why you're in Vegas?
I did, but he's
getting cold feet
and now his ex-wife's
calling him freaking out
that their daughter is missing.
It was the only
opportunity that I had.
Really? Your timing
is atrocious, Philip.
Well, what else was
I supposed to do?
You were supposed to wait
for my call that
the deed was done.
Okay. I'm sorry baby.
I screwed up, didn't I?
Yes, you did.
How can I fix it?
You can't.
Just hold her and don't
let her out of your sight,
- got it?
- Yeah.
- Do you understand Phillip?
- Yes, I understand.
Wait for my next call and
don't let your phone die.
Okay? Look baby, I
really am sorry, okay.
I won't screw up again.
It's fine.
This is why I'm the brains
and you're the Braun, right?
Right.
I'll talk to you later.
Where are you, Frank?
I need you here.
We have to figure this out.
A few hours away.
Okay, well, I need
you to get here.
We have to find our daughter.
All right, Eliza and I will
be there in a few hours.
No, not Eliza.
Why? Why not?
Because I think she has
something to do with it, Frank.
Okay. She's not who
she says she is.
Don't listen to
anything she says.
I think she's trying
to steal your money.
This is like way
bigger. Way bigger.
All right, we'll be there.
Is everything okay?
Just my mother calling
to congratulate us.
You told her?
Of course. I was so
excited, I couldn't wait.
Look, Eliza, I love you,
but if we're gonna get married,
I just think that I should
get approval from Jenny.
You know, if I
never said anything,
she'd never talk to me again.
I told you we just
won't tell anyone.
But you told your mother.
Yeah, it's just my mom.
And this is my daughter.
Look, Rosemary, I'm
sorry to waste your time.
This isn't gonna work out.
The timing's off.
Are you sure about that?
Yeah. Thanks.
Eliza. Eliza! Eliza!
Eliza, Eliza!
(phone ringing)
I don't know.
It's a strange
coincidence, right?
(cellphone ringing)
It's Frank.
Frank!
Kayla, you were right.
When I told her I didn't
wanna marry her, she took off.
You were gonna
marry her, like now?
- Where are you?
- Vegas.
Oh my god, Frank.
Well, then it is her.
Forget about Eliza.
Focus on finding Jenny
before it's too late.
Well maybe if we find
Eliza, then we find Jenny.
Look, the detectives
are here now.
I'm gonna talk to them.
Just get to LA as soon
as possible please.
I will. And I'm sorry.
- Just get here.
- I'm on my way.
You need a ride to the airport?
Yeah.
- Come on, I'll take you.
- Thanks.
Hi honey.
So this was all a ruse
for you to get my money?
Is that any way to
talk to your fiance?
Answer the question!
There's more to it.
- What?
- You'll find out.
In the meantime, I need
you to transfer $10 million
to an offshore bank account.
I'll text you the account and
routing information shortly.
What?
You didn't wanna
marry me, Frank,
so now we have to
do this another way.
So this was all about the money?
Of course it was you moron!
Do you think I
actually loved you?
You are so stupid Frank.
All men are stupid, but
you might just win a prize.
Who's the stupid one?
Because you still
don't have my money.
I have your daughter
and I will kill her
if you don't
transfer me the money
the moment I send
you the information.
Yes, Frank. We have Jenny
and we're going to kill her.
So you better send that money.
You are a monster.
No, I'm a capitalist,
Frank, just like you.
It's not gonna work out.
If I transfer the money,
you still might kill her.
They get the 10 million in cash
and we'll make a switch.
It could take days for me
to raise that kind of money.
You have until morning.
I have plenty of other
marks I can get money
from and I have no
problem dropping this plan
to start a new one.
Now get that money.
Eliza! Damn!
Detective Larson, did
you find anything?
I'm sorry, Kayla, we
don't have any leads.
We scoured the
neighborhood for cameras
that might have captured
the car, but no luck.
- We have to find her.
- Yeah.
Thing is, if this
is a kidnapping,
they're gonna want
money from your husband.
I'm confident they'll
contact you or him soon.
My ex-husband.
What if they hurt her?
The good thing is, I think
it's more about the money.
If they want the money,
they won't hurt her, right?
I hope you're right.
Yeah.
(cellphone ringing)
Oh, it's him.
Frank!
Did you find her?
No, but I got a call from Eliza,
and she wants cash for Jenny.
Oh, thank God she's alive.
She wants $10 million.
So what Frank?
Do it! Don't you dare put
a price on our little girl.
I'm not!
Then do it, Frank. Now!
I can't get that kind
of cash by the morning.
Figure it out, Frank.
I am. I need you at the
airport on the tarmac
in the morning at 8:00 a.m.
I'll be there for
my little girl.
Good. And Kayla,
no police, okay?
If she sees any extra people,
she might not give
us Jenny back.
Okay. Okay. Bye.
Come on, wrap it up.
(suspense music)
(suspense music continues)
Please. Please, no!
Time to get up.
- No!
- Let's go! Get up!
No, please!
No! Where we going?
Where are we going?
God, you're so annoying!
Please, where you taking me?
- Stop!
- Stop!
For once in your life,
I just need you to shut up.
Let me go!
(intense music)
(bright music)
(bright music continues)
(footsteps approaching)
I am so sorry.
I had no idea
that she was capable of
doing anything so insane.
It's amazing to me how such
a smart man can be so stupid
when it comes to women!
I'm guilty. I'm a jerk.
Yes, you are!
Now let's focus on
getting our baby back.
You did this, Frank.
Now let's fix it.
I can see her there
in the middle.
It's Philip Legler.
Who?
He's the guy that Blake
who pressed charges on
and sent him to jail.
He's also the guy
who attacked me.
There's more to this than
just about the money.
(suspense music)
Hello, Frank.
Eliza!
- You remember me, Frank?
- Yes, I do.
You should be in prison.
Yeah, well, obviously I got out.
How?
Eliza helped me.
Enough with the small talk.
Where's the money?
I had to go to Salt Lake
City last night first,
but I got it.
I knew you would.
What's she doing here?
I told you not to bring anyone.
You kidnap my daughter
and held her for ransom,
and you think I'm
not gonna show up?
Show me the type of woman
that would do such a thing.
I don't care.
As long as you have
the 10 million,
you'll get your daughter back.
It's over there on the plane.
Prove it.
Go inside and see for yourself.
Watch them!
(suspense music)
You've always been
so good to me, Frank.
Why are you looking at me?
I want my daughter back!
I want my daughter back.
Well, Philip, if
it's not all there,
it's pretty damn close!
My pilot will take you
anywhere within 2000 miles.
Just tell him
where you wanna go.
Good. Frank, I will say you
did take such great care
of me over the past four months.
Eliza, can we go?
I mean we're out here
in the open and...
Relax, Philip!
It's gonna be fine.
Soon enough we'll be
on a beach in Acapulco.
Soon enough ain't
soon enough, you know.
You're so profound, sweetie.
That's why I love you so much.
Go get the girl outta the car.
Come out.
Baby, are you okay?
Mom!
Not so fast.
Try anything and I'll shoot you.
Gimme your phones.
Give them their bratty
little daughter back.
She's all yours.
- Oh, my baby.
- Mom.
I didn't like
babysitting anyways.
[Eliza] Come on, Phillip.
What are you doing?
Where are you going?
I'm helping them leave.
Well, that's very
nice of you Frank.
Safe travels.
That was really smart, dad.
Yeah, let's just hope
that they don't do too
much damage to the inside.
That plane costs the
company $5 million.
We're heading to Acapulco.
Let's get going. Now!
Phillip, there's no
pilot on this plane.
He lied to us!
What are you talking about?
Open the door!
It won't open!
Hit the emergency release!
What do you think I'm doing?
It's not opening!
Get out of my way!
Go ahead. Try it. Yeah.
- I love you guys.
- We love you too.
I'm just so happy
you're safe, baby.
What do you say, we
give it another shot?
Absolutely not.
Why? Why not?
Because you're a
serial cheater, Frank.
And if you could fall
for a woman like that,
you are not good enough for me.
Jenny!
I'm sorry dad, but
you had your chance.
[Eliza] Frank! Frank,
let us out of this plane!
So now you both hate me?
We don't hate you, Frank.
In fact, we love you enough
to tell you the truth.
You have a lot of work to do
before you can be
with a real woman.
You're a child, Frank.
Give me a call when you grow up.
I have grown up.
I've learned my lesson.
You need to be alone
for a long time, Frank.
Bye, daddy, love you.
(police sirens wailing)
Philip, shoot the door again!
Frank, let us out
of the damn plane!
I know all your secrets now,
we'll take that kid again.
Let us out, Frank! Frank!
Frank, open this door!
Phillip, push the door!
Frank! Frank! Frank!
