Fit for Murder (2024) Movie Script

[insects chirping]
[car revving]
[Detective Wilson] Jesus.
[fire crackling]
[car door shuts]
Sorry to ruin your night.
[Detective Mogg] Yeah,
I finally got some sleep.
[explosion]
Well, it might be the
last of it for a while.
[Wilson] Any idea what's going on here?
[Mogg] Not yet.
Out here just in time.
[sighs] Goddammit!
Find something?
Over here.
[sighs] What the hell?
[Mogg] I got forensics out here,
but they aren't gonna find any prints.
The fire pretty much destroyed everything.
[Wilson] Sure.
Maybe not everything.
Poor, poor thing.
This is it.
Guess that's what I'd expect
for the home of bodybuilding royalty.
The car's registered to Kelly Ryan,
but the house is in her husband's name.
Which one's the bodybuilder again?
You never heard of Craig
Titus and Kelly Ryan,
king and queen of the fitness world?
Nah.
Great.
You can tell Craig all about
what we found in his wife's car.
Let's do this.
So you think this guy's dangerous enough
to have killed his own wife?
Well, apparently, he's got
quite the temper on him.
Threw a chair when he came in second
at a competition a couple years back.
Right at the audience.
-Yikes.
Yeah, it's a real shame.
Everybody said she was the nice one.
[knocking]
[door opens]
Hi.
-Kelly Ryan?
Yeah, that's me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
When the fog comes rolling
And waiting for the sun isn't working
You can put it in my hands
and watch me take control
So put it off with your searching
I want you to stop while you're hurting
'Cause we got it and we're golden
We're golden
All of the seats I'm bringing in
I'll bring the sun I'm feeling it
Don't let the stuff get in my head
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
All of the seats I'm bringing in
I'll bring the sun I'm feeling it
Don't let the stuff get in my head
I'm on fire, I'm on fire
Na na na-na na-na
Na na na-na na-na
Na na na-na na-na
Na na na-na na-na
Na na na-na na-na
Na na na-na na-na
[crowd cheering]
[crowd whistling]
[camera shutter clicking]
[indistinct chatter]
[laughter]
Just show your body.
[woman 1] Craig, Kelly, look straight!
Yeah.
[woman 2] Craig, I love you, man, Craig.
Show us your abs, Craig.
[people cheering]
-Kelly, over here.
Hey, and here comes Miss
Fitness America herself
Kelly Flying Ryan.
Kelly, any comments on your recent win?
I'm just here for Craig today, hon'.
He's got a great routine lined up.
You guys are going to love it.
Yes. Well, looking forward to that.
You always do know how
to put on a show, Craig.
So, how does it feel to be competing again?
I'm just a guest posing tonight, Kip,
nothing at stake for me
except making my wife proud.
[Kelly laughs] -Come on, baby.
See ya, Kip.
Let's follow them. He always
gives me something juicy.
Craig, just a few years ago,
you were in prison for selling ecstasy.
Now, a rumor has it, you're
making a run for Mr. Hellenic.
Don't you worry about the stigma at all?
You know, only when
bum-ass reporters like you
won't let the story die.
All right. Look at me.
I look better than ever.
So, you're laying off the drugs then?
[exhales] Dude, I just got married.
I'm moving to Vegas for
my smoking hot wife.
Nothing's going to stop me
from winning this year. Okay?
Fuck off!
-Sorry to interrupt.
I'm Melissa James, your
assistant for the day.
[Melissa] Anything I can do to help?
Hm?
-Right.
Always appreciate your time, Craig.
I'll see you around.
Oh. Oh, I'm sorry.
I-I didn't mean...
-You're fine.
You saved me. Thank you.
The dude's always trying to rile me up.
I'm Craig.
Yeah, of course.
Everybody here still talks about
how you won, Mr. Hellenic,
your first time competing.
You're amazing.
-Thanks.
You should've seen me in high school.
I was like 130 pounds soaking wet.
Really?
-Yeah.
Well, I'd love to see them
go up against you now.
America's Bad Boy bodybuilding.
[Kelly] Uh, that was the old Craig.
He's grown up a lot.
Yeah. Thanks to you, baby.
I don't need to tell you how
amazing my wife is, right?
Oh, no, no, no. Hi, Kelly.
Hi.
-I'm a huge fan.
Oh, thanks. Nice to meet you.
[laughs]
Um, I can take over with
that if-if you want.
Oh, it's okay. I got it.
But you can fix the snack.
We're about 15 minutes away from go time.
Sure.
-[Kelly] Thanks.
You, uh, ever thought
about competing, Melissa?
[Melissa] Oh, no, no, no.
I hope to make a go of
it someday, but, um...
right now, I'm just so
busy with my dance studio.
This is as much as I can commit, so...
Dance studio, huh?
-[Melissa] Yeah.
Yeah. I've been dancing
ever since I was a kid.
So, after high school,
I just decided to go for it
and opened up my own place.
Dancing was a big part of
my life too for a while.
I heard. I mean, it totally
shows in your routines.
Ah, thank you.
-Yeah.
How'd you get into doing all this?
Ah, I've always been pretty athletic.
I actually trained under Bela Karolyi.
Saw a competition on TV one day
and figured it was a way to
take my body to the next level.
Kelly's in the league of her own.
She's doing everything this year, right?
Uh-huh.
We both are.
-That's right, baby.
I believe it.
I'm just so happy
that I got assigned to spend some time
with you both today.
We're lucky, too.
[Kelly] Yeah. Good.
So, Melissa, how long
have you been assisting?
Oh, just-just here and there.
I thought it'd be a great way for me to see
what the fitness world is all about, so...
What do you think so far?
I love it.
I mean, every day is different,
and it's all just way more exciting
than the Groundhog days up at the studio.
[chuckles]
Sorry, I'm-I'm rambling.
Uh, should I get a bag for that?
Oh, no, I got it. You can take this.
I am going to get a seat.
And they're going to call him soon,
so make sure you stay close.
Go get 'em, baby. [clicks tongue]
Don't worry. She bosses me around too.
[male announcer] Now, calling Craig Titus.
Craig Titus, please report to the stage.
You want me to mist you down real quick?
Nah, I'm good.
Okay, well, if you need
anything, I'll just...
No, no, no.
You follow me.
Stay close.
[crowd cheering]
[crowd applauding]
[crowd cheering]
[mouthing] Call me.
[crowd cheering]
Hm-hm.
It's crazy how far we've come
from when we first met, right?
[chuckles]
[laughs]
Remember that one?
-Aww. Hm-hm.
You're the cutest little personal trainer
getting up at 4:00 a.m. for clients
who wouldn't show up and wouldn't pay you,
and you still chasing around
like a sad little puppy.
Well, it's a good thing
I had a big, strong man to show me the way.
I mean, look at us.
The sponsorships, the
magazines, this house.
[squeals] I love this house
and I love you.
Won't be long until we have a full...
fitness...
empire.
We're going to make a lot of happy memories
in this house.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Hey, hey. Where you going, huh?
Where you going?
So how can I help you?
Yes, uh, ma'am.
We were wondering if you might know
the location of your vehicle.
My car?
Yeah. Actually, um,
my husband and I think
it was stolen last night.
Stolen?
-Yeah.
Any idea who might have taken it?
Yes. Her name is Melissa James.
Don't forget this.
-[man 1] Yeah.
Oh, here we go. Yeah. Yeah. Awesome.
Yeah.
Hey, you too. Here, come here.
Hey, beautiful. Yeah.
-Hey.
Awesome. Hey, Kelly, come here. Come here.
Uh, one second.
Hi.
Thank you.
-All right.
[Craig] Great. Here we go.
Thanks for coming.
All right. Yeah. See you.
Oh, baby.
[indistinct chatter]
- You look so good in the...
- You're so fucking sexy.
[Craig] What time's our flight tomorrow?
Not till 2:00. -We're going out tonight.
Okay.
-There's a club in Venice.
Can we go? -Only if you dance with me.
Oh, baby. Of course.
[laughs] -I'm gonna dance with you.
[Melissa] Craig?
Kelly.
Hi.
-Hi.
I saw your poster outside.
I had to come say hi.
Oh, my gosh. Hi. Um...
Sorry. Uh, Melissa James.
Panama City.
-Yes.
Oh, my gosh. Hi.
Good to see you.
-Oh, you too.
What are you doing in LA?
Uh, I brought on a partner
to help with the dance studio
so I could do more fitness work.
Fantastic.
-Yeah.
I just wrapped a gig down
the street, actually, so...
So crazy running into both of you here.
So crazy, right?
Yeah. I just worked a
competition a few weeks ago,
and I heard you guys have been killing it.
So, congrats.
Yeah, yeah. Can't complain.
We were just talking
about going out in Venice.
You should come with us.
[Craig] Right?
Right?
Um, I'm meeting a friend, actually,
so I can't tonight, but, um...
But next time you're in Vegas,
you should come stay with us.
We have plenty of space in
the new house, right, Craig?
Yeah.
-Yeah, yeah. It'll be fun.
Sure.
-[Craig] Yes, for sure.
Sure. Yeah.
-Good to see you.
Yeah, you too. You too.
Bye.
[blender whirring]
Do you have to do that right now?
What did you say?
Do you have to do that right now?
Thank you.
I'm sorry, honey. I'm sorry. It's just...
You know how big this new
fitness column is for me.
And I promised I'd have a copy in by 5:00.
And it has to be perfect. And I
just have to finish the last...
What are you talking about? I
told you two times last night.
We're training at noon.
I got a reporter coming and everything.
Why? Why do you have a reporter coming?
Force Lift Invitational, babe.
We could be the first
double win in history.
What are you fucking missing here?
You're acting like you
don't give a shit anymore.
Goddammit!
Wow.
Give me a couple hours and I'll join you...
No, you don't have a couple hours.
We're going now.
Close your laptop and go get ready.
Get dressed. Let's go.
Your mind's always clearer
after a workout anyway.
Come on.
What the fuck are you
staring at me for, huh?
You want to run a fitness empire?
You want to get fucking famous?
You're not going to get
famous writing shitty columns.
Let's go.
Get off your fucking lazy ass.
Go get dressed. And we're training, now!
Fine.
But no more than an hour, okay?
Yeah, no more than an hour.
Come here.
Hey.
I'm sorry.
I love you.
And after this Invitational,
we're going to have a huge rager, okay?
Okay.
-Tell me you love me.
I love you.
-Good.
Okay.
-I love you.
Okay.
Fuck.
[Kelly] Come on, baby. I got mine.
Go get yours.
You are so ready.
You've got this.
Quads, hemis, chest.
You got this, baby.
[male announcer] Ladies and
gentlemen, Mr. Craig Titus.
[indistinct chatter]
[crowd cheering]
Whoo!
Chest. That's right.
Quads.
[crowd cheering]
Glutes, glutes.
[male announcer] Ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome Mr. Victor Martinez.
Don't look at him. Don't worry about him.
It was good. Don't look at him. Look at me.
It was good.
-Fuck. Fuck.
All right now repeat after to me
Go big or go home
[Kelly] Go say hi to your people.
I don't wanna go say hi.
-Come on.
I'm not doing that. No. -Yes, please.
Go big or go home
Go big or go home
[glasses clinking]
I would like to propose a toast
to this Force Lift Invitational.
Thank you.
Kell, you were truly incredible.
I mean, you still have that dancer's edge
and nobody else's routine
could even keep up.
Yo, yo, yo, for real.
I knew the second you
busted out that Roger Rabbit
you were taking home first place.
Thank you.
Yeah, you know, I would
have got first place too,
if it wasn't for that dickhead judge.
Yeah, man.
You know what I'm talking about, Tony.
That's the same judge from the Hellenic.
He's had it out for me for years.
Yeah, and of course, I mean, bro,
you were totally robbed on that one.
Honey, I think you did a great job tonight.
But let's just freshen up your routine
and the next one is you.
Freshen up my routine?
You know, it's crazy that
now you want to help me,
when two weeks ago you were
too busy to even train with me.
You know, it really sucks
when your own wife doesn't
even make time for you anymore.
[Tony] Craig. Craig. Come on, man.
You know we have bubbles.
Let's go to the hot tub.
Tony, just give me a minute.
Dammit!
So, um, what's Craig's problem?
I don't know.
It's like he never stops
to think about the fact
that I'm trying to build a career, too.
Oh, he thinks about it. He
just can't stand the fact
that you're doing better than he is.
That's not true.
-Yes, it is, Kell.
How many competitions has he won lately?
[Melissa on voicemail]
Fun running into you guys
a few weeks ago.
Wish I could have spent
some more time with you.
Hey, please keep me in
mind for any drop offs
that you hear about.
My business partner's
not really working out
and I need to make some money quick
or my studio is going to close.
Talk to you soon. Bye.
Okay, but Craig opened doors in my career
that I never would have found on my own.
You would have found them eventually.
Are you kidding me?
It's not true.
Look, I'm not saying
that your man wasn't absolutely
killing it in the 90s,
but that was a long time ago.
I'm just telling you that
his ship's going down
and you need to get off before
he takes you down with him.
[snorting]
You can try if you want to
You can't even say a
prayer if you want to
You're saying you never
cry, but you're gonna
You can never say what you want to do
And if you're really trying to win it
You better get your heart in here
Oh, you can try if you wanna
You can't even say a
prayer if you want to
You're saying you never
cry, but you're gonna
You can never say what you want to do
[door shuts]
Hi, babe.
-Hey, honey.
I have a surprise for you.
-You do?
Huh-huh.
-What is it?
Yes, I know you've been
working really hard lately.
So do you remember that chick from Florida
a couple years ago, Melissa?
Um, yeah. Yeah.
I invited her to come stay with us
and help you out a little bit.
Wait. Help me out with what?
Well, she wants to be a personal trainer,
but she could be like your assistant.
You know, she could run
errands, book appointments,
do stuff around the house...
Craig, I just wish we had talked about this
before you invited her.
That's why it's a surprise.
Okay, well, how much
are we going to pay her?
Not a lot.
Time that we save
could put towards your projects.
When does she get here?
Ta-da!
Hi, Kelly.
Hi.
Thank you so much for having me.
You won't regret this, I promise.
Um, I'm just going to go
freshen up for a second.
- Are you sure this is okay?
- Yes, 100% okay.
This is going to be great for her.
She just doesn't know it yet.
[laughs]
So, Melissa was your assistant?
Yeah.
-Yeah.
Yeah, you could say that.
And you're thinking that
she took off with your car?
She's the only one who drove it besides us.
Have you tried reaching out to her?
No. We sort of had a falling out.
I think it's best if we continue this
back at the station, just
to get a formal statement.
Yeah, um, now? [chuckles]
I'm afraid so, ma'am.
Let me just, um, go get dressed.
Oh, and Mr. Titus,
we need you to come down, too.
Um, yeah, okay.
[sighs]
[door opens] -[sighs]
[door shuts]
Let's talk a little bit
more about Melissa James.
Okay.
[Mogg] Help me understand this.
She moves across the
country to work for you.
She's living in your home...
-Mhm-hm.
And your wife has no problem with that.
Yeah, that's right.
She was all about it.
[Kelly] What the hell were you thinking?
[Craig] What?
You're the one who invited her out here.
I thought you'd like it.
Yeah, for a visit.
I didn't think you could tell us
she would come move in with us.
[Craig] She's going through a hard time.
I figured she could just regroup here.
Her dance studio is in trouble.
I don't know.
And why is that our problem?
Doesn't she have any friends
or family she can stay with?
[Craig] Kell, I was just
trying to do something nice.
[sighs]
[sighs] Hm-mhm.
What you doing in there?
[Craig] Nothing, Kell. Go away.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Are you trying to go back to prison?
It's just Nalbuphine, Kell.
-Nal-what?
It's a painkiller. Everyone
at the gym takes it.
Yeah, well, even painkillers
can create a big problem
for an ex-con like you.
I'm just saying,
if I was prepping
for the biggest competition of my life...
Really good thing you're not me, huh?
You want a shot yourself, Kell?
Face it. You've gotten a
little uptight in your old age.
You mind?
Really killing my high right now.
Go away.
Fuck.
Yeah
Come on
Yeah
You know you're liking what I do
Staring in your mind,
wishing you could do it too
Sorry, but you really can't
But we'll have to find another hobby
If I didn't like you
[sighs] Okay, one more time.
I'm sorry, I just couldn't help my eye.
It was really good.
-Thanks.
Um, I got the area cleaned
out for the photo shoot.
Is it okay if I toss everything?
Um, ask Craig.
Thanks, baby.
Yeah, yeah, sure.
Sorry. This is just really
cool what you're doing. Um...
Is it for like a routine or...
Oh, no, it's for Top Tone Fitness.
They want us to come up
with some exercise classes
we can offer full time.
I'm trying to add in a little dance cardio.
Oh, wow. I love that.
I love that.
-Thanks.
Well, you know, I-I pick up
on things really quickly.
So, do you need any help with anything or...
Um, well, right now I'm
just cycling through
some old routines my college days.
So retro.
[chuckles] Teach me.
Oh. Yeah.
Okay.
Um, just follow along.
Sure. Yeah.
It starts with the head roll
and then hips.
Hips.
Passe.
Slow.
So, it's gooey, and then to sharp.
[Kelly] Yeah, just get
it sharper so it reads.
[stereo turns on]
Five, six, seven, eight...
You know you're liking what I do
Staring in your mind,
wishing you could do it too
I'm sorry
[indistinct]
If I didn't like you
You mad, I'm only telling you the truth
If I didn't say nothing,
you'd be like she
Well, if you can't stand a burn
Sorry. I got carried away.
-That's fun.
I just wanna keep things a little classier
for this crowd, you know?
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
Um, I'd probably should get back to it.
Okay. Thanks, hon'.
-Thank you.
-[Craig] Hey, good looking.
-[Melissa giggles]
[Craig] I like what you're wearing.
Face it. You've gotten a
little uptight in your old age.
[Melissa] I just wrapped
a gig down the street.
It's so crazy running
into both of you here.
It's so crazy, right?
Fuck. Just fucking...
Yeah
Come on, come on
[Craig] Ta-da.
[Melissa] Hi, Kelly.
Thank you so much for having me.
You'll not regret this. I promise.
Staring in your mirror
wishing you could do it too
I'm sorry, you really can't, boo boo
You have to find another hobby
[man 2] You're not seeing her shoes, right?
Come on. I know you can
do better than that.
You're the bad boy of fitness.
And you're a sexy little hostage,
aren't you, sweetheart?
That's it now, come on closer.
Okay, let's try something else.
Something that screams
America's fitness Power couple.
This is our cover shot.
All right, come here.
-[camera clicks]
Can we get make-up in here?
The left side of her
face could use some work.
[Melissa] Sure.
Pretty her up, would you, hon?
You doing okay? You need
a water or anything?
No.
You like that car? Isn't it so cool?
Oh, yeah. I see what he's talking about.
I'll get that right there.
Here we go. -Have you been drinking?
What? No, no.
You're good.
Hey, hot-stuff.
Touch me up, too, will you?
[laughs] -Oh, woah, hey.
Some of us are better at boozy
brunches than others, huh?
[man 2] So, great, Iron
Night National's are
right around the corner. Are you ready?
Yeah. Yeah, you know.
What's the training like for that anyway?
Must be pretty intense.
Yeah, the last 12 weeks are pretty crucial.
But it's all about discipline, right, babe?
No time for messing around. Smile, Kelly.
Look like you're having fun.
Having fun, right? -Yeah. Fun, right?
Okay, I'm going to take a little break.
[sniffles]
We are just gonna crank it up
[crowd clamoring]
[laughing]
Ahh.
[Craig] All right, come
here, come up, come up.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[Craig laughing]
Yo! Watch it.
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
Geez!
[laughs] Hi.
I found you.
Yeah, you found me.
Now, what do you want to do with me?
No. What do you want to do with me?
I've been here for a week,
so I haven't had a single
personal training session yet.
Starting to think you just brought me here
to keep you company.
Can you blame me?
-[Melissa laughs]
These things take time, baby. But...
Well, you're right.
You've been busting your
ass around the house.
I will get you some cash tomorrow.
I promise.
Okay.
-Okay.
Hey, baby girl, you are home.
Kelly.
-What are you wearing?
Babe, did you win?
Oh, it's all right. We'll
get it next time, baby.
What the hell is happening?
It's the toga parties.
Melissa's idea. Come on.
Come on. I've missed you.
Go get a sheet. Get a drink.
Party, baby. Come on.
Toga, toga, toga.
I'm just, I'm tired from all
the travel and everything,
but you guys have fun.
[Tony] Yo, Craig, I got the drinks, man.
Thanks, Tony.
[Tony] Stop, Kelly.
[scoffs]
[whispers] Fuck.
[inhales sharply]
Oh.
Fuck, that's good.
You want it?
Come on.
What happens in Vegas, right?
[sighs]
Okay.
-There you go.
[chuckles]
[inhales]
Hey.
There we go.
Follow me.
Na-na-na-na
Let's go run me up
Gimme that gimme that gimme that one
Let's go gimme that one
Gimme that gimme that gimme that one
Na-na-na-na
[sighs]
[phone ringing]
Hey, Ms. Fitness Vesuvia! How'd it go?
Hi. I came in second.
That's amazing.
What did Craig say? Was he proud of you?
No, he's little... preoccupied.
Gimme that gimme that gimme that one
Let's go gimme that one
Gimme that gimme that gimme that one
[Megan] Why does that not surprise me?
[Kelly] He wants to be supportive.
He does. He's just, he's stressed.
I mean, he even hired that
new assistant, Melissa,
to try to free up our schedules a bit.
But... [sighs]
I just don't know if I can trust her.
She says she's here to
make money and pay rent,
but... so far it seems like all
she cares about is partying.
Meg, I came in tonight
and they were throwing
a toga rager downstairs.
Wait, how old is she again?
Young.
Wait a second. Is this the same girl
that owns at dance studio
down in Panama City?
Yeah.
Well, my friend's own a gym down there.
I can get the scoop on her if you want.
Thanks. I'd appreciate it.
[Megan] Yeah, of course.
But will you try to relax? Okay?
You-you have way more
important things to worry about
than babysitting this girl.
I mean, with Fitness Internationals
right around the corner...
Let her be Craig's problem.
Okay. Thank you.
I love you. You're the best.
Good night.
[sighs]
Oh, fuck.
Oh, no.
What's wrong?
-Oh, no.
Craig?
Kelly cannot finding out about this, okay?
I need to go before she wakes up.
You want this?
-No.
Don't say a word.
And if you think you like me now
Wait till you see me at my best
And if you call this hot
Wait till I show you this
It's getting hot, hot, hot as hell
I'm burning up
I'm burning up
I'm burning up
[grunts]
I'm burning up
[knocking on door]
Yeah.
Hey.
Hey.
Can I talk to you for a sec?
Yeah.
Everything okay?
I don't really know how to say this.
That's okay. You can tell me.
You can tell me.
It's just that...
I don't want this to
come out the wrong way.
You guys have been amazing
and I really appreciate you
letting me stay here like this
and everything,
um, but I need more money.
I'm not really earning enough
with the assistant work
to cover my expenses back home
and I'm trying to keep dance studio going.
And...
you know, Craig said
that maybe you guys would
let me help you with the classes
for the Powerhouse gyms.
[sighs]
Please.
I'll keep it classy, I promise.
No, no, no. It's just, um...
The Powerhouse deal fell through weeks ago.
Sorry, baby. I thought you knew.
What?
What am I supposed to do in the meantime?
I mean, you guys said
you brought me out here
to be a personal trainer.
So...
-Yeah, um...
We'll talk to Craig about something.
I'm sure it was some
kind of misunderstanding.
He was supposed to tell you.
Something else will come up.
[sighs]
[sighs]
[door slams] -[sighing]
[inhales]
[line ringing]
[phone ringing]
[Maura] Hello.
Hi, mom. It's me.
Hi, honey. Everything okay?
Not really. Things are
pretty rough here, actually.
The studio is not making enough money,
and I'm sure as hell
not earning enough here
to cover it, so...
Babe, I know that things haven't turned out
the way you wanted them to.
Maybe it's time to close the studio.
Start fresh in Vegas.
I mean, you're making all those
good contacts, aren't you?
Not really. They just
have me doing grunt work.
Honey, it's only temporary.
If anybody's going to
be back on their feet,
it's going to be you.
You know, if fitness is
what really matters to you...
I just don't know anymore, mom.
I mean, what if I was doing
better there on my own?
At least there I was in
charge of my own life.
Well, honey, you got to be patient, okay?
[Maura] I love you. [Melissa] Love you.
Okay. Bye.
[beeps]
[tapping]
Yeah.
-[clicks]
[clicks]
[Wilson] Okay, so she was staying with you
then changed her mind?
[Kelly] Yeah, I-I never saw it coming.
She just up and left
out of the blue one day.
Uh, that was two years ago, I think.
Any idea how things went
for her down in Florida?
Yeah, um...
not good.
[sighs]
[clicking]
[keys clacking]
[sighs]
[inhales]
Yeah, yeah
Hey, slay, what we do
We get higher every day
That's right, nothing new
Start and fire ain't too bad
Come and get it, baby,
if you want to play
Hey don't get heated if
I make you go all day
Like I never got away
and never give a damn
In the city the same
put everyone to shame
Everybody knows where I'll be
On my feet through Bronx to Malibu
Nothing more to say
Hey, hustle till we break
Don't need nobody to roll, no
Stuck in till I fill up my plate
Gucci, I mean, you know we celebrate
Slay what we do
We get higher every day
That's right, nothing new
Starting fires ain't too bad
Slay what we do
We get higher every day
[phone ringing]
[phone ringing] -[sighs]
Hello.
Hey, you-you answered.
Uh-huh.
Are you okay? What's up?
Uh... Nothing.
I just, I miss you.
I wanted to hear your voice.
Yeah. You know, it's a little loud there.
Sorry. Sorry. I...
I was just dancing.
Okay, look, Melissa,
you got to stop calling
me like this, all right?
I told you it was one night.
It didn't mean anything.
Yeah, but then you, like,
kept flirting with me and...
No, Melissa, I mean it.
You are going to get me in trouble.
Okay?
-Why?
Is Kelly there with you?
-Not right now.
But she does live here, and
she sees who calls me on my p...
Okay, look, it's just
that, I made a mistake.
I never should have left.
I want to be there with you and Kelly.
I mean, she likes me, doesn't she?
Oh, God, I hope she likes me.
Does she know about us?
Should I apologize? I mean...
Look, don't get me wrong.
I would do it all over again. Would you?
I mean, do you think about me in that way?
Because I do.
I think about you all the time.
Goddammit.
Ah! Look, shut the fuck up.
What are you on right now?
Nothing.
Look, you've got to stop
calling me like this, okay?
You are going to fuck everything up.
Not just for you, but for me.
Now, cut this shit out.
I am not playing around.
Goodbye.
-[beeps]
Craig? No, Craig!
[Mogg] Well, I think we're
just about done here, Craig,
but there's one thing
I haven't told you yet.
We found your wife's car in the desert.
There was a body in the trunk.
Yeah, we don't know anything... yet.
Is there any reason to think
that could be Melissa James?
You think that's Melissa?
You think that could be her?
You tell me.
I don't know. Uh...
Fuck.
I mean, I know she had to close
her dance studio in Florida
and she was always broke.
And then she got real
heavy in the drug scene
here in Vegas.
She shows up and gets hooked.
[sighs]
Help me understand,
how did she end up back
here with you in Vegas
in the first place?
She just kept calling me and Kelly
and asking what we were up to and...
Um, you know, I really cared about her.
You know, she was a good friend of mine.
So a couple months ago,
we're getting ready to launch
a, a line of athletic gear
and... just asked her if
she wanted to come help
and... help her make some money.
Keep her out of trouble.
We're here, babe.
We're home.
Hi.
Something smells good.
What's for dinner, babe?
-I don't know.
I'm making lunches for the week.
Hi.
I can't believe it's been two years.
It feels like... you were just here.
I like your hair.
It looks great.
Thanks.
Yours too.
Um, I was thinking tonight
we could go celebrate
the new gig.
Maxtero Athletics here we come!
Sounds great.
Yeah, let me just change my shirt.
Sweating like a pig.
Hey, hey, Kell.
-Yeah.
I just wanted to say thank you so much
for giving me this opportunity.
I really appreciate it.
Craig said you were going
through a rough patch
and if anyone knows what that's like...
it's him.
Plus, I can use the
extra hands around here.
[laughs]
Melissa...
if you're still interested
in personal training,
I would be happy to get you in shape.
You really mean that?
Yeah.
I've been dying to hear you say that.
[laughs] Thank you. Thank you...
You're welcome.
You bet.
Oh, God, I hope these pants
are part of the new line
because they are really working for me.
Yeah?
You can wear whatever you
want with a face like that.
Oh
Yeah uh-huh oh
Oh uh-huh...
Ooh, exciting. Where should I jump in?
Oh, I'm not done with that.
Just, um...
Okay.
Why don't you go to the store
and get me a few things I'm running low on?
Um...
Sure.
Give you a list.
[paper ripping]
Thank you. I appreciate it.
I'll give you my debit card.
The code is 5-1-2-1.
Got it. I'll be back in jiff.
Wait.
Why don't you take the Jag?
I'm not going anywhere today.
[laughs] You scared me.
You scared me.
All right. What are you doing?
What do you mean what I'm doing?
Your wife is right downstairs
and I have work I need to do.
She's not paying attention to anything.
You're going to pretend
you're not excited to see me?
You're calling me for
two years straight, huh?
[indistinct whispering]
[Mogg] Safe to assume your wife didn't know
anything about this?
No, she didn't know. She had no idea.
But you were in a
relationship with Melissa...
No, I was not in a
relationship with Melissa.
We had sex a couple times. That was it.
Usually when she was fucked up.
You trust me?
[woman 3] Let's see.
Oh, I think that'll be perfect.
[phone ringing]
Hey, Meg, what's going on?
Hey, can I come over later?
It's something I want to ask you about.
Uh, well, right now I'm
at Face Inspiration.
Don't tell me you're getting more Botox.
Kell, you really got to lay off that stuff.
You're only supposed
to go every few months.
Your face is going to start sagging.
What? That's-that's impossible.
No, it's not. There's all these studies.
Sorry, honey, I wasn't talking to you,
it's just my credit card got declined.
- Oh, is everything okay?
- Yeah. Yeah, it's fine.
Must be some kind of mistake.
Anyway, you were saying?
Oh, so I was meeting with our
wedding planner this morning,
and can you believe
we're three months away?
Ooh! Sweetie, that's so exciting.
You know I'm here for
you whatever you need.
I was wondering, do you have
any time to train me again?
I've just...
I've been so unmotivated
to go to the gym lately,
and you always know how to make it so fun.
Yes, sure. Bridal bootcamp.
Let's do it. This is perfect.
You have no idea how much I
needed some time with you.
I've been training Melissa and...
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Back up.
Melissa, as in the Melissa?
You're training her now?
-Yeah.
You think it's a bad idea?
No.
I think it's impressive.
You open your home to
her, you give her a job,
and now you're finding the
time to get her in shape.
Yeah, well, that's the only
way I can keep an eye on her.
It's not just about Craig.
I think she's stealing from me.
What?
-[Kelly] I don't know.
I've just been noticing some
strange transactions lately,
and now my credit card was declined.
And...
-[Megan] Kell, I don't...
I don't want to get you worked up,
but I don't think that's in your head.
What do you mean?
[Megan] Well, I reached
out to those friends
that I told you about down in Panama City.
They said that Melissa's studio closed
because she was writing bad checks.
They also said that there's
a rumor going around
that she got caught with credit card fraud.
Are you serious?
That's what I heard.
I got to go, babe.
Oh, there you are.
I've been looking for you everywhere.
What's up, babe?
You know how-how Melissa's using my card?
Yeah.
I think she's taking
money out of the account.
It's so strange. She's
like $40 here and there.
Sometimes it's 100 and I
thought it was fucking crazy,
but it's going to be over a
couple grand at this point.
I let her use the card.
What do you mean? What?
What do you mean what do I mean?
She's our employee. Of
course, she uses the card.
It's okay. I let her buy things sometimes.
It's not a big deal.
The other day she needed
Christmas presents.
I mean, she's going through a rough time.
I don't know...
Are you sleeping with Melissa?
Am I what?
-Just, just...
Kelly, you are my wife. Okay?
I love you. I love you.
-I know, I know.
Stop it. Stop it.
Okay? Stop.
I love you.
Do you believe me?
-Yeah. It's...
Huh?
I will find out what's
happening with Melissa.
Okay. -I promise. Oh, my God, babe.
Please, take a breath.
All right? I love you.
Only you.
Okay?
Oh, baby. Come here.
Come here.
Oh.
Oh, my baby.
I promise nothing's happening.
I love you.
Yeah.
-Okay?
I'm going to take care of this.
Mhm-hm. Okay.
Just after the...
[exhales sharply] What do you think?
Um, yes.
[sighs] -[door closes]
[grunts]
[Melissa] Something smells good.
You want some?
We got enough, right, Kell?
You bet.
Thanks.
What can I do to help?
Just sit. We got it.
So, um, is everything going
okay with Maxtero Athletics?
I never did see what
designs you've settled on.
Yeah... it's going great.
I'm almost done.
-[drawer thuds]
That's good.
[clears throat]
So, I know I'm not too
involved with anything yet,
but the plan is for me to
still work with you, right?
I was just wondering
because I-I really appreciate you guys
putting me up like this and everything,
but... you know, I need to
start earning some more money.
And, you know...
Don't you have enough of our money already?
What?
I don't know what I was
thinking trusting you.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Where did it all go?
What do you spend it on?
Oh, I know about the dance studio.
The bad checks,
the credit card fraud.
Oof.
No wonder
your business was a failure.
You know what? I don't need this.
I'm sure it's how I'm not going
to let you run our business
into the ground!
Kelly...
-Don't. Mhm-hm.
You can give her your money
if you want, but I'm done.
[sobbing] Go away.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
What are you doing?
Please stay. Please stay. Please.
No. I'm leaving for good this time. Okay?
Never should have come back here.
Where are you going to go? Come on.
Kelly's just mad.
She fucking hates me, okay.
She does not hate you.
Yes, she does. I have to go.
Please. Please.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Look, how about this?
I will get you a hotel
room for a couple of nights
and you can clear your head.
And then, if you still want to leave,
I will buy your plane ticket.
Deal?
Okay.
-Okay.
Come here.
Just hear me out, okay?
I don't want her to take off
without getting some real answers.
So I'm going to take her to a hotel,
give her some time to calm down, sober up,
and I'll come back and I'll confront her
about everything.
- And then she's gone?
- And then she's gone.
[door slams]
Uh, I mean, we found
copies of credit cards,
copies of IDs, a HELOC statement.
I mean, I let her into my house,
and it took him two nights
of going over there, but he
finally got her to confess
to everything.
So, he paid for the plane ticket
in the hotel room for the
woman you were kicking out?
Yeah, well, I thought that
was Craig's idea, but...
Yeah, I just...
I wanted her out of my house.
Whatever it took.
Feels better.
You know you need to stay, right?
Kelly will come around, I promise.
I need you here.
I need to go home, Craig.
What's up?
Things are just such a mess right now.
I mean, I need to go...
be with my family
and find a job...
go to rehab.
I get it.
You're going through a lot.
Kelly's a lot.
[sniffles]
But you're perfect.
You know that?
Kelly will come around. I promise.
Come here. Hey.
Come here, hey.
Hey, hey.
Beautiful girl.
I will get you that plane ticket.
You go home to Florida,
be with your family, clean yourself up.
But you have to promise
that you'll come back, okay?
I need you.
You promise?
Good.
I love you.
[cries]
Hi.
-Hey.
What is she still doing here?
She's just coming to get some things,
and then I'm taking her
straight to the airport,
I swear.
-[phone ringing]
Last time you'll ever
have to see her again.
I promise. Okay? Just...
Hello.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, that's not what we agreed on, man.
[Melissa] Hey, listen,
I'll be the first to admit that
I was over Melissa at that point.
I just wanted her out of my house.
I didn't trust her.
But she got the message.
She packed a bag and we
drove her down the street
to the market, and that was that.
[Wilson] The market? Why?
Why not to the airport?
Uh, that's where she
liked to play the slots.
Sometimes it's-it's what she wanted.
So then how did she get to the airport?
Um, I don't know. Um...
She said she'd figure it out.
I didn't want her waiting
in my house for a cab.
Then again, that is if she
even went to the airport.
Why don't you think she
went to the airport?
What I think?
Okay, I think she was hiding out somewhere.
And then she waited to
take a cab to our house
and waited for us to fall asleep,
and then she snuck into the
garage and she stole the car.
[Craig] Look, dude, I get it, okay?
I don't need your little dirty looks.
Writing your little notepad for me to know
that you think I'm a
complete piece of shit.
I got that. I know I'm a
complete piece of shit.
You know how many people fucking hate me?
My wife is the best woman I know.
I know I don't deserve her.
I got that.
But I didn't have anything to do with this.
So, I need you guys to find
out who the fuck did this
before I kill him myself.
Melissa didn't deserve any of this.
[Mogg] Right.
We'll definitely be keeping in touch.
[Wilson] Okay. So, you don't think
that you would have heard
the car at your house?
No. Our-our garage is detached.
Oh. [winces]
Everything okay? -Yeah. I'm sorry.
It's just a, it's a cramp.
It happens sometimes. I just, um...
Oh, I think I've been sitting for too long.
I'm sorry. So...
-Oh, okay.
That's all we need for now.
- Am I free to go?
-[Wilson] It's-it's fine.
I think we have everything
we need to hear for now.
Okay.
Thank you, detective.
I'll, I'll guide you out.
-Okay.
[Mogg] You are free to go.
- Yeah, yeah, no problem.
- Thank you for everything.
We'll get this figured out. Don't worry.
Hey.
-Hold it.
Don't say a word until we get outside.
Let's get out of here.
-Okay.
Thank you, both, for everything.
We'll be in touch.
Ready for some good news?
Ah, I needed this.
Surveillance footage just came in.
For what?
Walmart parking lot.
Ryan's Jag was spotted the other night
Melissa James disappeared.
[sighs]
Holy shit!
-It gets better.
What's in the cart?
-Lighter fluid.
[Wilson] I'll call the
judge and get the warrant.
You get the team ready.
Not a soul here.
I'm thinking this might be our crime scene.
Officer Willis, why don't
you get the BOLO circulating?
It's like we got a couple of runners.
Right away, detective.
[camera shutter clicking]
Hey, Anna, get a couple of photos of this.
[camera shutter clicking]
Can I get an evidence bag, please?
[camera shutter clicking]
Ah, one more.
They are from a taser gun.
The lab was able to match
the serial numbers on them.
What's that give us?
Proof that gun went off
on the date in question.
Four different times.
That's not enough to kill anyone, is it?
Probably not.
This is toxicology report from
the body found in Ryan's trunk.
Melissa James.
Yeah, big surprise.
Check this out.
Lethal dose of morphine
or heroin in her system.
They did say she had a drug problem.
Detectives. Sorry to interrupt.
There's a woman here to see you.
I put her in the interrogation room.
I went last time.
Good luck.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
So, what brings you in tonight?
[Megan] Uh, well, it's actually
about my friend. She, uh...
I think she's in some kind of trouble.
Okay. Who's your friend?
Kelly.
Kelly Ryan.
Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan, Kelly Ryan?
Okay. Just tell me what's been happening.
[Megan] Well, she's been
acting really strange lately.
And I don't know, she told me some things...
You know what? Start from the beginning.
What, uh...
was the first time you noticed the change?
About a week ago.
That's when I knew something was off.
I can't...
[both sobbing]
[shuddering]
[phone ringing]
[Craig] Kelly, your phone.
It's your friend, Meg.
It's Meg. You have to talk to her.
You have to talk to her.
Kelly, just talk to her.
[sighs]
Hello.
Guess who just took her very last test
in her college career?
That means I'm in full weddings.
That's great, sweetie.
We should celebrate soon.
Well, yeah, that's why I'm calling you.
I was wondering what you
guys are doing tonight.
Tonight?
[Megan] I was thinking that maybe
you, Craig, Jeremy and I could, um,
I don't know, grab drinks
after our training session.
Shit, sweetheart.
I'm sorry, sweetie, I don't think
I can do tonight.
[Megan] Why?
Wait, is everything okay?
Yeah, yeah, everything is fine.
It's just there's a lot
going on at home today.
I'm fine, though.
Well, how 'bout just one drink?
We can even come by later.
Please, one drink.
You're my best friend.
I want to celebrate with you.
-Okay.
[Kelly] Later, like tonight?
After dinner?
[Megan] Sure, yeah, okay.
Uh, Jeremy and I can head
to your place around 9:00.
[Kelly] Okay.
Okay.
Yes! Okay, see you soon.
[phone beeps]
[exhales]
[sighs]
[cries]
[indistinct whispering]
[sobs]
Please, Kelly, please, please, please.
[cries]
Please.
Look at me, please.
You're going to be okay.
You're going to be okay.
[door shuts]
[Jeremy] Uh, I told you
we were going to be late.
[Megan] It's fine. They're night owl.
[Jeremy] The house is completely dark.
I talked to them at like, 3:00.
They know we're coming.
Maybe somebody is in here.
Oh, look. Those are the lights.
Maybe they're in there.
[Jeremy] Hello.
Hello.
That's weird.
Maybe they're by the pool.
Uh, I think we would have heard them.
[knocking] -Hello?
We're here. And we brought tequila.
Yo, Craig.
[clicks]
Hey.
-Hey.
Come on in. Hey. There you go.
Hey. How's it going?
-Good, man.
Everything okay?
Yeah, yeah. Why wouldn't it be?
Where's Kell?
She's upstairs. She wasn't feeling great.
So she wouldn't lay down
until you guys got here.
What's wrong with her?
Nothing. She just, you know,
we just had a weird day, you know.
We had to fire our assistant,
so, you know, she's pretty upset about it.
[chuckles] Melissa?
What did she do?
Uh, I mean, we knew
she had a drug problem, we
didn't know how bad it got.
Oh, shit.
-Yeah.
And then we caught her
stealing, and it was...
Oh, yeah, I heard about that.
Um, yeah.
So, I confronted her about it
and just became this whole mess.
So, I-I... But I don't even know
why we're talking about this.
You know, we got a lot
of stuff to celebrate.
Come on. Come on.
Right. Let's celebrate.
-Yeah.
- I'm gonna go check on Kelly.
- What? You...
I'm gonna go check on Kelly.
[Jeremy] Yep.
-Yeah. Okay.
[Megan] Craig was acting so... strange.
I didn't know what was going on,
so I walked upstairs to Kelly's room.
[Megan] Kell?
-Hi.
Hi, sweetie.
-Kell...
Are we too early? -No, no, no.
I'm just...
I'm running late.
Okay. Take your time.
Oh, I wanted to dress up for you today,
but it's been a long day.
Congratulations.
Thank you. Um...
So, what the hell happened anyway?
[Craig] Excited for the big day?
Eh, little nervous, but I'm
ready to be a married man.
Ready to join the club.
Dude, I got to get my
suit tailored for the...
Oh, we're happy to have you at the wedding.
So, you guys coming back from somewhere?
I've just been at the house chilling,
watching videos and shit.
Honestly, I thought you were going to be
our maid of honor for a second there.
Oh, my God, Kell, what happened?
One second.
Cheers.
-Cheers.
When does Megan move in?
Hmm.
She has to wait till after the wedding.
Yeah.
-[indistinct TV chatter]
[laughs]
[Jeremy] Oh, man, these guys are crazy.
Come on. Don't you think this was funny?
Yeah, yeah, it's funny.
[Megan] So, Kelly takes me into her closet
and she sits me down...
and she's all panicked.
And she was telling me about how...
they went into Melissa's bedroom.
Remember how I told you Craig took her
to a hotel to calm down?
-Yes.
Okay, well, while she was there,
we went to her room and
we found this lock box
and-and we found copies of our credit cards
and an HELOC statements
and copies of our IDs...
Oh, my God, that's insane.
Did you say anything to her?
Yeah.
Well, Craig went over there to talk to her
and give her the benefit of the doubt.
Okay.
And?
She denied everything.
She-she denied everything.
And then so,
so she said she wanted to
back to Florida for good,
and then that's...
that's when you brought her back here to,
to get her stuff and...
Oh, Kell, that must have been
so hard for you to face her.
It was a total nightmare.
[Jeremy] You want a shot?
Okay, go ahead.
[Jeremy] There you go.
The fuck is taking these girls so long?
Come on, you know women.
They're probably up there chit chatting.
[laughs]
Oh, shit. Can you believe that?
I'm gonna go check on her.
All right.
I'll be here holding the tequila down.
[Megan] So wait, where's Melissa now?
She's, uh...
She's downstairs.
Wait, she's here? Like in her room?
Is she sleeping?
It all just got out of hand. I don't know.
I just...
I just went to go talk to her.
I just...
And then she started screaming
and then, and then I yelled.
I yelled for Craig and then
he was worried about me
and then he came in, and then he,
he body-slammed her, and then...
Wait, wait, wait, start over.
What do you mean it all got out of hand?
What are you doing in here?
Craig slams the door open,
and he knows that we're
talking about Melissa.
And what did he say?
What are you guys doing in here?
Baby, oh, I was telling
Megan how Melissa went mad,
and how you saved me.
Oh, my God, so amazing how you saved me.
You're my hero.
-You told her?
I told her that you're my hero.
- Thank God you stopped her.
- Yes, you're my hero.
Yeah?
-You're so amazing.
You are amazing.
Amazing!
No one hurts my wife.
-Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, God, Megan,
you should have seen her.
Fuck, like you should have seen her, dude.
All we said was like,
you're fired, you got to go,
and she fucking attacks her.
She comes right after you
and then she comes after me
and I just like, like, like, like
without even thinking about it.
I was just like, get the fuck out.
He said he killed her.
He said that?
Well, not exactly.
He put Kelly in a choke hold,
bragging about how easy it is to do that.
I didn't hurt her. And I'm just, I'm sorry.
I'm just like messing around.
Like when you're
adrenaline is pumping like that
when somebody's in your own home...
And then, he put me in a choke hold.
Attacking you, you know.
She comes out like this,
I'll show you, like that.
She's just like really quick, right?
You don't even think about it.
You're just like how fast
you can kill someone...
Craig, Craig, Craig.
-...in the headlock.
I mean, go fuck back home, like that.
Craig, stop it. Craig, stop it.
The way his biceps were squeezing.
[cries] He cut off my airway, and...
I couldn't breathe.
Craig, stop, stop, just
stop Stop, stop, Craig.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's all right.
- I was just messing around.
- I know. I know.
But like...
-I know.
I'm sorry, Megan, I just...
-I know
I'm sorry, it was a lot.
It was a lot today.
I'm like...
But I-I wasn't taking him seriously.
I, I don't know.
Craig's always exaggerating. So I...
I don't know. He was laughing and all,
and I thought he was just kidding around.
[Craig] Fuck.
Megan, you should have fucking seen it.
It was fucking nuts. Like, she's gone.
She's gone.
I was just showing her.
-You're perfect.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you.
[indistinct chatter]
[Megan] So, I went downstairs,
I made up an excuse,
and I told Jeremy that we
needed to head home. And...
that's when things got even weirder.
Hey, Jer.
Jeremy, let's go. Kell's
not feeling too good.
- I just poured shots.
- No, we really got to go.
Kell's not feeling well.
[Craig] You guys taking off already?
We haven't even celebrated the big news.
Oh, Oh, no, it's okay. Really. I mean,
I can't believe you guys
had this much time to hang,
you know, with everything going on today.
Holy shit, dude, you got a taser.
What are you going to do with this?
I'm not doing nothing with it.
It's just a gag gift.
I'll show you how it works later, okay?
Uh...
[Jeremy] Uh, okay.
[Kelly] It was so good to see you guys.
And I'm so sorry about the workout today.
Maybe we can reschedule for tomorrow.
You know, actually, I have a lot of, um,
wedding errands to run, so I'll call you.
Hey, babe, I'm going to
go start the car, okay?
Later, Craig.
Yeah, call me.
I was halfway out the door...
when Craig stopped me.
Yo, yo, Megan, yo, hey. Uh, before you go,
we're going to go out of
town for a couple days,
so I was just wondering if you could
hold on to this while we're gone.
What is it?
And he...
He handed me this bag.
[Craig] Don't worry about it. It's okay.
I already asked Jeremy.
He said it was fine.
Just take it.
He said it was fine.
[Megan] Uh, Kelly
gave me the nod of
approval, so I took the bag.
All right.
Thanks, Meg.
I love you.
Love you.
Congrats on finishing college.
Thanks.
[door closes]
[screams]
And of course, when we got home,
Jeremy said that Craig never
talked to him about the bag.
I need you to come with me.
Grab that and follow me.
Okay, Ms. Pierson, at this point,
you've admitted to being at
Craig and Kelly's residence
the day Melissa James disappeared.
[Wilson] Yes?
-Yes.
You also brought in the bag
full of incriminating evidence.
Are you starting to see
how serious this is?
You do understand how this looks, right?
So, what's it going to be?
Are you going to tell us
exactly what your friends did?
Or you are looking at
facing charges of your own.
All she said was that
things got out of hand
when Melissa came to grab her bags.
[exhales deeply]
Time to go.
You've got to be kidding me.
You're a fucking junkie, huh?
Is that why you need to have money for?
You're fucking with Craig.
What else do you have in here, huh?
You fucking thief!
[Melissa] Kelly.
Kelly...
Kelly, what are you doing? Please stop.
Kelly, stop. Stop.
-Shut the fuck up!
Kelly, stop.
[Melissa] Kelly.
What are you doing?
-Okay, okay.
Kelly, please stop.
-Are you kidding me?
Are you fucking kidding me?
-No.
Leave me alone.
Where are you gonna go?
You're fucking high.
Melissa...
I felt sorry for you.
And I took you in my own home.
And this is how you fucking repay me?
Get the fuck up.
I know you are stealing from us.
It's not what it looks like...
- you wanted to be me...
- It's not what it looks like.
I swear...
-Oh, yeah?
It's fucking exactly what it looks like.
Leave me alone!
Did you think you'd get away with this?
Did you?
You're done. And what a
lying piece of shit you are!
I didn't do anything wrong. Okay? Stop.
Oh, yeah?
-Stop.
What about you and Craig, huh?
You want to tell me
nothing was going on there?
[crackling] -[groaning]
Like I've said a million times before,
Kelly or Melissa,
I don't know which one had the taser gun.
At some point, it ended up in Kelly's hands
and then she turned to use it on her.
You aren't sure which one had the taser?
Kelly told me that Melissa
had the taser first.
[both grunting]
And then Kelly took it out of her hands.
What else did Kelly tell you?
Craig!
[crackling]
[grunting]
Fuck.
[crackling]
No, Melissa, stop. Stop. No.
Craig!
That's when Craig supposedly
body slammed Melissa
and started beating her up.
Craig!
[grunting]
[grunts]
[Wilson] Those are Kelly's exact words?
Yes.
Why didn't you tell us this sooner?
I guess I was just trying to protect Kelly.
Kelly, what the fuck? Are you okay?
[Craig] What the fuck happened?
Oh, my God.
What is going on?
-[screams]
Fucking bitch! What the
fuck are you thinking?
What are you thinking, huh?
You serious?
You come in here. You
talk to my fucking wife?
Stop it. -You come into my house...
[Kelly] Craig, stop it.
Craig, stop. Craig, stop.
What did you do? -I
didn't do anything, Kelly.
I just saved your fucking
life, it's what I did.
What's wrong with her? What did you do?
There's nothing wrong with her.
She's fine. She's just out.
Is she... -She's going to be fine.
No.
-[Craig] She's sleeping.
Kelly, go get the bag in my bathroom.
Why?
Go get my bag from the bathroom, Kelly.
We'll load her up and we'll
make her think that this is...
She'll just wake up thinking this is all...
No, no, no... -That's it. Kelly, please.
This is the only way. Kelly, please?
Kelly, go now to the bathroom.
Kelly, go get my fucking
bag from the bathroom now!
Why the fuck did you do that?
[cries] Melissa, what the fuck did you do?
What the fuck did you do?
Okay. Come here.
I'm just going to give her
a little bit of morphine.
No, no, wait, she was,
she was high as a kite
when I, when I came in.
[Craig] Kelly, please. I
know what the fuck I'm doing.
Kelly, I know what I'm doing, okay?
Just shut the fuck up.
God, I'm so sorry.
No, please, please stop, please, Craig...
Stop, Kelly!
Please, Craig, just don't do it, please.
Kelly, please, please, Kelly.
[Kelly] Please, Craig, don't...
It's fine, Kelly, I swear to God.
[Craig] Okay, it's fine.
It's going to be fine.
She's going to be fine. Okay.
Wake up.
Wake up, please.
Please.
Hey, Craig, she's, she's not breathing.
What?
She's not breathing.
What do you mean?
She's not fucking breathing!
-Stop, stop.
Kelly, please fucking stop.
Hey, Melissa, Melissa.
Melissa.
Melissa.
Melissa.
[cries]
Melissa. Melissa.
No.
Melissa. Hey, baby.
Hey, Melissa.
Melissa. Melissa!
We have to call the... -Melissa.
Stop! Stop!
Kelly, please. Melissa, wake the fuck up!
Melissa, baby.
Hey, hey.
-Call 911.
Hey, hey, hey. Melissa, wake up.
Wake up, Melissa. -[Kelly]
We have to call 911.
We're not calling fucking 911.
Melissa, wake the fuck up!
Melissa! Fuck! Wake up right now. Fuck!
We're not calling anyone.
We have to call someone,
we have to call someone!
We're fine. Oh, my God, this is...
[Craig] I'm not going back to prison.
I'm not going back to prison, Kelly.
Kelly, look. Hey, hey, hey.
Kelly. Kelly. Kelly.
-[wailing]
Kelly, please.
Look at me. She OD'ed.
No...
-She OD'ed.
She OD'ed.
That's all that happened, Kelly.
She OD'ed. She OD'ed. That's it.
She OD'ed. I need you
to say it with me, okay?
I...
She's an addict and she OD'ed.
Okay? Come here.
I love you. I'm not gonna
let anything happened to you?
She did this. She OD'ed. Okay?
I need you to say it. She OD'ed.
Say it, please.
She OD'ed.
-She OD'ed.
We have to get rid of the body, okay?
And we'll be okay.
Get her legs.
Please.
Baby, look at me.
Get her legs.
I love you. Get her legs.
We're going to be fine. Go now.
Now, please get her legs. Get her legs.
Hang on. Okay.
[grunting]
It's really hard to believe that
your best friend is capable
of something like this.
And you believe it now?
When was the last time you saw Kelly?
About a week ago. -She was here, in town?
Not at her house.
She had me meet her at a friend's place.
Look, Jeremy didn't want me to go
because of everything that
happened with the bag,
but I felt like it was the last time
I was ever going to see her, so I went.
Megan... what aren't you telling us?
They were looking for somebody...
to be their witness...
someone to... tell the police
that they found...
Melissa had OD'ed in the back of the car.
Why did they want that person to be you?
Because I was there the
night that she died.
They put her body in the back of car...
drove it out into the desert, and then...
[fire roars]
They set the car on fire.
What about Craig and Kelly?
Any idea where they are?
No, they just said that they
were going to skip town.
[sighs]
Hmmm.
File it down please.
[sighs] Thank you.
[banging on window] -Put
your hands on the wheel.
Put your hands where I can see them,
on the wheel. Open this door.
Please step out of the vehicle.
Slowly. Keep your hands up.
Step out of the vehicle, slowly.
Please keep your hands up.
[man 3] Kelly Ryan.
Put your hands up.
You're under arrest for the
murder of Melissa James.
Mr. Craig Titus, you are under arrest
for the murder of Melissa James.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and
will be used against you...
in the court of law. You
have the right to an attorney.
You cannot afford one
one will be appointed to you.
You got to make a choice
between right and wrong
When you draw that line,
which side do you stand on
On judgement day
[Craig] Kelly, we're going
to be okay, all right?
Hey, look, we're going to
get through this, okay?
We're going to be okay, Kelly.
Kelly, I'm going to get
us out of this, Kelly.
Kelly, look at me.
We didn't do anything, okay?
We're going to be okay.
We're going to be okay, Kelly.
Kelly, we didn't do anything, all right?
Right on judgement day
Which side do you
stand on judgement day?
On judgement day
Which side do you
stand on judgement day?
How you going to walk that
line on judgement day?
Will you give up and fall
in line on judgement day?
Which side do you
stand on judgement day?
[insects chirping]
[car revving]
[Detective Wilson] Jesus.
[fire crackling]
[car door shuts]
Sorry to ruin your night.
[Detective Mogg] Yeah,
I finally got some sleep.
[explosion]
Well, it might be the
last of it for a while.
[Wilson] Any idea what's going on here?
[Mogg] Not yet.
Out here just in time.
[sighs] Goddammit!
Find something?
Over here.
[sighs] What the hell?
[Mogg] I got forensics out here,
but they aren't gonna find any prints.
The fire pretty much destroyed everything.
[Wilson] Sure.
Maybe not everything.
Poor, poor thing.
This is it.
Guess that's what I'd expect
for the home of bodybuilding royalty.
The car's registered to Kelly Ryan,
but the house is in her husband's name.
Which one's the bodybuilder again?
You never heard of Craig
Titus and Kelly Ryan,
king and queen of the fitness world?
Nah.
Great.
You can tell Craig all about
what we found in his wife's car.
Let's do this.
So you think this guy's dangerous enough
to have killed his own wife?
Well, apparently, he's got
quite the temper on him.
Threw a chair when he came in second
at a competition a couple years back.
Right at the audience.
-Yikes.
Yeah, it's a real shame.
Everybody said she was the nice one.
[knocking]
[door opens]
Hi.
-Kelly Ryan?
Yeah, that's me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
When the fog comes rolling
And waiting for the sun isn't working
You can put it in my hands
and watch me take control
So put it off with your searching
I want you to stop while you're hurting
'Cause we got it and we're golden
We're golden
All of the seats I'm bringing in
I'll bring the sun I'm feeling it
Don't let the stuff get in my head
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
All of the seats I'm bringing in
I'll bring the sun I'm feeling it
Don't let the stuff get in my head
I'm on fire, I'm on fire
Na na na-na na-na
Na na na-na na-na
Na na na-na na-na
Na na na-na na-na
Na na na-na na-na
Na na na-na na-na
[crowd cheering]
[crowd whistling]
[camera shutter clicking]
[indistinct chatter]
[laughter]
Just show your body.
[woman 1] Craig, Kelly, look straight!
Yeah.
[woman 2] Craig, I love you, man, Craig.
Show us your abs, Craig.
[people cheering]
-Kelly, over here.
Hey, and here comes Miss
Fitness America herself
Kelly Flying Ryan.
Kelly, any comments on your recent win?
I'm just here for Craig today, hon'.
He's got a great routine lined up.
You guys are going to love it.
Yes. Well, looking forward to that.
You always do know how
to put on a show, Craig.
So, how does it feel to be competing again?
I'm just a guest posing tonight, Kip,
nothing at stake for me
except making my wife proud.
[Kelly laughs] -Come on, baby.
See ya, Kip.
Let's follow them. He always
gives me something juicy.
Craig, just a few years ago,
you were in prison for selling ecstasy.
Now, a rumor has it, you're
making a run for Mr. Hellenic.
Don't you worry about the stigma at all?
You know, only when
bum-ass reporters like you
won't let the story die.
All right. Look at me.
I look better than ever.
So, you're laying off the drugs then?
[exhales] Dude, I just got married.
I'm moving to Vegas for
my smoking hot wife.
Nothing's going to stop me
from winning this year. Okay?
Fuck off!
-Sorry to interrupt.
I'm Melissa James, your
assistant for the day.
[Melissa] Anything I can do to help?
Hm?
-Right.
Always appreciate your time, Craig.
I'll see you around.
Oh. Oh, I'm sorry.
I-I didn't mean...
-You're fine.
You saved me. Thank you.
The dude's always trying to rile me up.
I'm Craig.
Yeah, of course.
Everybody here still talks about
how you won, Mr. Hellenic,
your first time competing.
You're amazing.
-Thanks.
You should've seen me in high school.
I was like 130 pounds soaking wet.
Really?
-Yeah.
Well, I'd love to see them
go up against you now.
America's Bad Boy bodybuilding.
[Kelly] Uh, that was the old Craig.
He's grown up a lot.
Yeah. Thanks to you, baby.
I don't need to tell you how
amazing my wife is, right?
Oh, no, no, no. Hi, Kelly.
Hi.
-I'm a huge fan.
Oh, thanks. Nice to meet you.
[laughs]
Um, I can take over with
that if-if you want.
Oh, it's okay. I got it.
But you can fix the snack.
We're about 15 minutes away from go time.
Sure.
-[Kelly] Thanks.
You, uh, ever thought
about competing, Melissa?
[Melissa] Oh, no, no, no.
I hope to make a go of
it someday, but, um...
right now, I'm just so
busy with my dance studio.
This is as much as I can commit, so...
Dance studio, huh?
-[Melissa] Yeah.
Yeah. I've been dancing
ever since I was a kid.
So, after high school,
I just decided to go for it
and opened up my own place.
Dancing was a big part of
my life too for a while.
I heard. I mean, it totally
shows in your routines.
Ah, thank you.
-Yeah.
How'd you get into doing all this?
Ah, I've always been pretty athletic.
I actually trained under Bela Karolyi.
Saw a competition on TV one day
and figured it was a way to
take my body to the next level.
Kelly's in the league of her own.
She's doing everything this year, right?
Uh-huh.
We both are.
-That's right, baby.
I believe it.
I'm just so happy
that I got assigned to spend some time
with you both today.
We're lucky, too.
[Kelly] Yeah. Good.
So, Melissa, how long
have you been assisting?
Oh, just-just here and there.
I thought it'd be a great way for me to see
what the fitness world is all about, so...
What do you think so far?
I love it.
I mean, every day is different,
and it's all just way more exciting
than the Groundhog days up at the studio.
[chuckles]
Sorry, I'm-I'm rambling.
Uh, should I get a bag for that?
Oh, no, I got it. You can take this.
I am going to get a seat.
And they're going to call him soon,
so make sure you stay close.
Go get 'em, baby. [clicks tongue]
Don't worry. She bosses me around too.
[male announcer] Now, calling Craig Titus.
Craig Titus, please report to the stage.
You want me to mist you down real quick?
Nah, I'm good.
Okay, well, if you need
anything, I'll just...
No, no, no.
You follow me.
Stay close.
[crowd cheering]
[crowd applauding]
[crowd cheering]
[mouthing] Call me.
[crowd cheering]
Hm-hm.
It's crazy how far we've come
from when we first met, right?
[chuckles]
[laughs]
Remember that one?
-Aww. Hm-hm.
You're the cutest little personal trainer
getting up at 4:00 a.m. for clients
who wouldn't show up and wouldn't pay you,
and you still chasing around
like a sad little puppy.
Well, it's a good thing
I had a big, strong man to show me the way.
I mean, look at us.
The sponsorships, the
magazines, this house.
[squeals] I love this house
and I love you.
Won't be long until we have a full...
fitness...
empire.
We're going to make a lot of happy memories
in this house.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Hey, hey. Where you going, huh?
Where you going?
So how can I help you?
Yes, uh, ma'am.
We were wondering if you might know
the location of your vehicle.
My car?
Yeah. Actually, um,
my husband and I think
it was stolen last night.
Stolen?
-Yeah.
Any idea who might have taken it?
Yes. Her name is Melissa James.
Don't forget this.
-[man 1] Yeah.
Oh, here we go. Yeah. Yeah. Awesome.
Yeah.
Hey, you too. Here, come here.
Hey, beautiful. Yeah.
-Hey.
Awesome. Hey, Kelly, come here. Come here.
Uh, one second.
Hi.
Thank you.
-All right.
[Craig] Great. Here we go.
Thanks for coming.
All right. Yeah. See you.
Oh, baby.
[indistinct chatter]
- You look so good in the...
- You're so fucking sexy.
[Craig] What time's our flight tomorrow?
Not till 2:00. -We're going out tonight.
Okay.
-There's a club in Venice.
Can we go? -Only if you dance with me.
Oh, baby. Of course.
[laughs] -I'm gonna dance with you.
[Melissa] Craig?
Kelly.
Hi.
-Hi.
I saw your poster outside.
I had to come say hi.
Oh, my gosh. Hi. Um...
Sorry. Uh, Melissa James.
Panama City.
-Yes.
Oh, my gosh. Hi.
Good to see you.
-Oh, you too.
What are you doing in LA?
Uh, I brought on a partner
to help with the dance studio
so I could do more fitness work.
Fantastic.
-Yeah.
I just wrapped a gig down
the street, actually, so...
So crazy running into both of you here.
So crazy, right?
Yeah. I just worked a
competition a few weeks ago,
and I heard you guys have been killing it.
So, congrats.
Yeah, yeah. Can't complain.
We were just talking
about going out in Venice.
You should come with us.
[Craig] Right?
Right?
Um, I'm meeting a friend, actually,
so I can't tonight, but, um...
But next time you're in Vegas,
you should come stay with us.
We have plenty of space in
the new house, right, Craig?
Yeah.
-Yeah, yeah. It'll be fun.
Sure.
-[Craig] Yes, for sure.
Sure. Yeah.
-Good to see you.
Yeah, you too. You too.
Bye.
[blender whirring]
Do you have to do that right now?
What did you say?
Do you have to do that right now?
Thank you.
I'm sorry, honey. I'm sorry. It's just...
You know how big this new
fitness column is for me.
And I promised I'd have a copy in by 5:00.
And it has to be perfect. And I
just have to finish the last...
What are you talking about? I
told you two times last night.
We're training at noon.
I got a reporter coming and everything.
Why? Why do you have a reporter coming?
Force Lift Invitational, babe.
We could be the first
double win in history.
What are you fucking missing here?
You're acting like you
don't give a shit anymore.
Goddammit!
Wow.
Give me a couple hours and I'll join you...
No, you don't have a couple hours.
We're going now.
Close your laptop and go get ready.
Get dressed. Let's go.
Your mind's always clearer
after a workout anyway.
Come on.
What the fuck are you
staring at me for, huh?
You want to run a fitness empire?
You want to get fucking famous?
You're not going to get
famous writing shitty columns.
Let's go.
Get off your fucking lazy ass.
Go get dressed. And we're training, now!
Fine.
But no more than an hour, okay?
Yeah, no more than an hour.
Come here.
Hey.
I'm sorry.
I love you.
And after this Invitational,
we're going to have a huge rager, okay?
Okay.
-Tell me you love me.
I love you.
-Good.
Okay.
-I love you.
Okay.
Fuck.
[Kelly] Come on, baby. I got mine.
Go get yours.
You are so ready.
You've got this.
Quads, hemis, chest.
You got this, baby.
[male announcer] Ladies and
gentlemen, Mr. Craig Titus.
[indistinct chatter]
[crowd cheering]
Whoo!
Chest. That's right.
Quads.
[crowd cheering]
Glutes, glutes.
[male announcer] Ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome Mr. Victor Martinez.
Don't look at him. Don't worry about him.
It was good. Don't look at him. Look at me.
It was good.
-Fuck. Fuck.
All right now repeat after to me
Go big or go home
[Kelly] Go say hi to your people.
I don't wanna go say hi.
-Come on.
I'm not doing that. No. -Yes, please.
Go big or go home
Go big or go home
[glasses clinking]
I would like to propose a toast
to this Force Lift Invitational.
Thank you.
Kell, you were truly incredible.
I mean, you still have that dancer's edge
and nobody else's routine
could even keep up.
Yo, yo, yo, for real.
I knew the second you
busted out that Roger Rabbit
you were taking home first place.
Thank you.
Yeah, you know, I would
have got first place too,
if it wasn't for that dickhead judge.
Yeah, man.
You know what I'm talking about, Tony.
That's the same judge from the Hellenic.
He's had it out for me for years.
Yeah, and of course, I mean, bro,
you were totally robbed on that one.
Honey, I think you did a great job tonight.
But let's just freshen up your routine
and the next one is you.
Freshen up my routine?
You know, it's crazy that
now you want to help me,
when two weeks ago you were
too busy to even train with me.
You know, it really sucks
when your own wife doesn't
even make time for you anymore.
[Tony] Craig. Craig. Come on, man.
You know we have bubbles.
Let's go to the hot tub.
Tony, just give me a minute.
Dammit!
So, um, what's Craig's problem?
I don't know.
It's like he never stops
to think about the fact
that I'm trying to build a career, too.
Oh, he thinks about it. He
just can't stand the fact
that you're doing better than he is.
That's not true.
-Yes, it is, Kell.
How many competitions has he won lately?
[Melissa on voicemail]
Fun running into you guys
a few weeks ago.
Wish I could have spent
some more time with you.
Hey, please keep me in
mind for any drop offs
that you hear about.
My business partner's
not really working out
and I need to make some money quick
or my studio is going to close.
Talk to you soon. Bye.
Okay, but Craig opened doors in my career
that I never would have found on my own.
You would have found them eventually.
Are you kidding me?
It's not true.
Look, I'm not saying
that your man wasn't absolutely
killing it in the 90s,
but that was a long time ago.
I'm just telling you that
his ship's going down
and you need to get off before
he takes you down with him.
[snorting]
You can try if you want to
You can't even say a
prayer if you want to
You're saying you never
cry, but you're gonna
You can never say what you want to do
And if you're really trying to win it
You better get your heart in here
Oh, you can try if you wanna
You can't even say a
prayer if you want to
You're saying you never
cry, but you're gonna
You can never say what you want to do
[door shuts]
Hi, babe.
-Hey, honey.
I have a surprise for you.
-You do?
Huh-huh.
-What is it?
Yes, I know you've been
working really hard lately.
So do you remember that chick from Florida
a couple years ago, Melissa?
Um, yeah. Yeah.
I invited her to come stay with us
and help you out a little bit.
Wait. Help me out with what?
Well, she wants to be a personal trainer,
but she could be like your assistant.
You know, she could run
errands, book appointments,
do stuff around the house...
Craig, I just wish we had talked about this
before you invited her.
That's why it's a surprise.
Okay, well, how much
are we going to pay her?
Not a lot.
Time that we save
could put towards your projects.
When does she get here?
Ta-da!
Hi, Kelly.
Hi.
Thank you so much for having me.
You won't regret this, I promise.
Um, I'm just going to go
freshen up for a second.
- Are you sure this is okay?
- Yes, 100% okay.
This is going to be great for her.
She just doesn't know it yet.
[laughs]
So, Melissa was your assistant?
Yeah.
-Yeah.
Yeah, you could say that.
And you're thinking that
she took off with your car?
She's the only one who drove it besides us.
Have you tried reaching out to her?
No. We sort of had a falling out.
I think it's best if we continue this
back at the station, just
to get a formal statement.
Yeah, um, now? [chuckles]
I'm afraid so, ma'am.
Let me just, um, go get dressed.
Oh, and Mr. Titus,
we need you to come down, too.
Um, yeah, okay.
[sighs]
[door opens] -[sighs]
[door shuts]
Let's talk a little bit
more about Melissa James.
Okay.
[Mogg] Help me understand this.
She moves across the
country to work for you.
She's living in your home...
-Mhm-hm.
And your wife has no problem with that.
Yeah, that's right.
She was all about it.
[Kelly] What the hell were you thinking?
[Craig] What?
You're the one who invited her out here.
I thought you'd like it.
Yeah, for a visit.
I didn't think you could tell us
she would come move in with us.
[Craig] She's going through a hard time.
I figured she could just regroup here.
Her dance studio is in trouble.
I don't know.
And why is that our problem?
Doesn't she have any friends
or family she can stay with?
[Craig] Kell, I was just
trying to do something nice.
[sighs]
[sighs] Hm-mhm.
What you doing in there?
[Craig] Nothing, Kell. Go away.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Are you trying to go back to prison?
It's just Nalbuphine, Kell.
-Nal-what?
It's a painkiller. Everyone
at the gym takes it.
Yeah, well, even painkillers
can create a big problem
for an ex-con like you.
I'm just saying,
if I was prepping
for the biggest competition of my life...
Really good thing you're not me, huh?
You want a shot yourself, Kell?
Face it. You've gotten a
little uptight in your old age.
You mind?
Really killing my high right now.
Go away.
Fuck.
Yeah
Come on
Yeah
You know you're liking what I do
Staring in your mind,
wishing you could do it too
Sorry, but you really can't
But we'll have to find another hobby
If I didn't like you
[sighs] Okay, one more time.
I'm sorry, I just couldn't help my eye.
It was really good.
-Thanks.
Um, I got the area cleaned
out for the photo shoot.
Is it okay if I toss everything?
Um, ask Craig.
Thanks, baby.
Yeah, yeah, sure.
Sorry. This is just really
cool what you're doing. Um...
Is it for like a routine or...
Oh, no, it's for Top Tone Fitness.
They want us to come up
with some exercise classes
we can offer full time.
I'm trying to add in a little dance cardio.
Oh, wow. I love that.
I love that.
-Thanks.
Well, you know, I-I pick up
on things really quickly.
So, do you need any help with anything or...
Um, well, right now I'm
just cycling through
some old routines my college days.
So retro.
[chuckles] Teach me.
Oh. Yeah.
Okay.
Um, just follow along.
Sure. Yeah.
It starts with the head roll
and then hips.
Hips.
Passe.
Slow.
So, it's gooey, and then to sharp.
[Kelly] Yeah, just get
it sharper so it reads.
[stereo turns on]
Five, six, seven, eight...
You know you're liking what I do
Staring in your mind,
wishing you could do it too
I'm sorry
[indistinct]
If I didn't like you
You mad, I'm only telling you the truth
If I didn't say nothing,
you'd be like she
Well, if you can't stand a burn
Sorry. I got carried away.
-That's fun.
I just wanna keep things a little classier
for this crowd, you know?
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
Um, I'd probably should get back to it.
Okay. Thanks, hon'.
-Thank you.
-[Craig] Hey, good looking.
-[Melissa giggles]
[Craig] I like what you're wearing.
Face it. You've gotten a
little uptight in your old age.
[Melissa] I just wrapped
a gig down the street.
It's so crazy running
into both of you here.
It's so crazy, right?
Fuck. Just fucking...
Yeah
Come on, come on
[Craig] Ta-da.
[Melissa] Hi, Kelly.
Thank you so much for having me.
You'll not regret this. I promise.
Staring in your mirror
wishing you could do it too
I'm sorry, you really can't, boo boo
You have to find another hobby
[man 2] You're not seeing her shoes, right?
Come on. I know you can
do better than that.
You're the bad boy of fitness.
And you're a sexy little hostage,
aren't you, sweetheart?
That's it now, come on closer.
Okay, let's try something else.
Something that screams
America's fitness Power couple.
This is our cover shot.
All right, come here.
-[camera clicks]
Can we get make-up in here?
The left side of her
face could use some work.
[Melissa] Sure.
Pretty her up, would you, hon?
You doing okay? You need
a water or anything?
No.
You like that car? Isn't it so cool?
Oh, yeah. I see what he's talking about.
I'll get that right there.
Here we go. -Have you been drinking?
What? No, no.
You're good.
Hey, hot-stuff.
Touch me up, too, will you?
[laughs] -Oh, woah, hey.
Some of us are better at boozy
brunches than others, huh?
[man 2] So, great, Iron
Night National's are
right around the corner. Are you ready?
Yeah. Yeah, you know.
What's the training like for that anyway?
Must be pretty intense.
Yeah, the last 12 weeks are pretty crucial.
But it's all about discipline, right, babe?
No time for messing around. Smile, Kelly.
Look like you're having fun.
Having fun, right? -Yeah. Fun, right?
Okay, I'm going to take a little break.
[sniffles]
We are just gonna crank it up
[crowd clamoring]
[laughing]
Ahh.
[Craig] All right, come
here, come up, come up.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[Craig laughing]
Yo! Watch it.
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
Geez!
[laughs] Hi.
I found you.
Yeah, you found me.
Now, what do you want to do with me?
No. What do you want to do with me?
I've been here for a week,
so I haven't had a single
personal training session yet.
Starting to think you just brought me here
to keep you company.
Can you blame me?
-[Melissa laughs]
These things take time, baby. But...
Well, you're right.
You've been busting your
ass around the house.
I will get you some cash tomorrow.
I promise.
Okay.
-Okay.
Hey, baby girl, you are home.
Kelly.
-What are you wearing?
Babe, did you win?
Oh, it's all right. We'll
get it next time, baby.
What the hell is happening?
It's the toga parties.
Melissa's idea. Come on.
Come on. I've missed you.
Go get a sheet. Get a drink.
Party, baby. Come on.
Toga, toga, toga.
I'm just, I'm tired from all
the travel and everything,
but you guys have fun.
[Tony] Yo, Craig, I got the drinks, man.
Thanks, Tony.
[Tony] Stop, Kelly.
[scoffs]
[whispers] Fuck.
[inhales sharply]
Oh.
Fuck, that's good.
You want it?
Come on.
What happens in Vegas, right?
[sighs]
Okay.
-There you go.
[chuckles]
[inhales]
Hey.
There we go.
Follow me.
Na-na-na-na
Let's go run me up
Gimme that gimme that gimme that one
Let's go gimme that one
Gimme that gimme that gimme that one
Na-na-na-na
[sighs]
[phone ringing]
Hey, Ms. Fitness Vesuvia! How'd it go?
Hi. I came in second.
That's amazing.
What did Craig say? Was he proud of you?
No, he's little... preoccupied.
Gimme that gimme that gimme that one
Let's go gimme that one
Gimme that gimme that gimme that one
[Megan] Why does that not surprise me?
[Kelly] He wants to be supportive.
He does. He's just, he's stressed.
I mean, he even hired that
new assistant, Melissa,
to try to free up our schedules a bit.
But... [sighs]
I just don't know if I can trust her.
She says she's here to
make money and pay rent,
but... so far it seems like all
she cares about is partying.
Meg, I came in tonight
and they were throwing
a toga rager downstairs.
Wait, how old is she again?
Young.
Wait a second. Is this the same girl
that owns at dance studio
down in Panama City?
Yeah.
Well, my friend's own a gym down there.
I can get the scoop on her if you want.
Thanks. I'd appreciate it.
[Megan] Yeah, of course.
But will you try to relax? Okay?
You-you have way more
important things to worry about
than babysitting this girl.
I mean, with Fitness Internationals
right around the corner...
Let her be Craig's problem.
Okay. Thank you.
I love you. You're the best.
Good night.
[sighs]
Oh, fuck.
Oh, no.
What's wrong?
-Oh, no.
Craig?
Kelly cannot finding out about this, okay?
I need to go before she wakes up.
You want this?
-No.
Don't say a word.
And if you think you like me now
Wait till you see me at my best
And if you call this hot
Wait till I show you this
It's getting hot, hot, hot as hell
I'm burning up
I'm burning up
I'm burning up
[grunts]
I'm burning up
[knocking on door]
Yeah.
Hey.
Hey.
Can I talk to you for a sec?
Yeah.
Everything okay?
I don't really know how to say this.
That's okay. You can tell me.
You can tell me.
It's just that...
I don't want this to
come out the wrong way.
You guys have been amazing
and I really appreciate you
letting me stay here like this
and everything,
um, but I need more money.
I'm not really earning enough
with the assistant work
to cover my expenses back home
and I'm trying to keep dance studio going.
And...
you know, Craig said
that maybe you guys would
let me help you with the classes
for the Powerhouse gyms.
[sighs]
Please.
I'll keep it classy, I promise.
No, no, no. It's just, um...
The Powerhouse deal fell through weeks ago.
Sorry, baby. I thought you knew.
What?
What am I supposed to do in the meantime?
I mean, you guys said
you brought me out here
to be a personal trainer.
So...
-Yeah, um...
We'll talk to Craig about something.
I'm sure it was some
kind of misunderstanding.
He was supposed to tell you.
Something else will come up.
[sighs]
[sighs]
[door slams] -[sighing]
[inhales]
[line ringing]
[phone ringing]
[Maura] Hello.
Hi, mom. It's me.
Hi, honey. Everything okay?
Not really. Things are
pretty rough here, actually.
The studio is not making enough money,
and I'm sure as hell
not earning enough here
to cover it, so...
Babe, I know that things haven't turned out
the way you wanted them to.
Maybe it's time to close the studio.
Start fresh in Vegas.
I mean, you're making all those
good contacts, aren't you?
Not really. They just
have me doing grunt work.
Honey, it's only temporary.
If anybody's going to
be back on their feet,
it's going to be you.
You know, if fitness is
what really matters to you...
I just don't know anymore, mom.
I mean, what if I was doing
better there on my own?
At least there I was in
charge of my own life.
Well, honey, you got to be patient, okay?
[Maura] I love you. [Melissa] Love you.
Okay. Bye.
[beeps]
[tapping]
Yeah.
-[clicks]
[clicks]
[Wilson] Okay, so she was staying with you
then changed her mind?
[Kelly] Yeah, I-I never saw it coming.
She just up and left
out of the blue one day.
Uh, that was two years ago, I think.
Any idea how things went
for her down in Florida?
Yeah, um...
not good.
[sighs]
[clicking]
[keys clacking]
[sighs]
[inhales]
Yeah, yeah
Hey, slay, what we do
We get higher every day
That's right, nothing new
Start and fire ain't too bad
Come and get it, baby,
if you want to play
Hey don't get heated if
I make you go all day
Like I never got away
and never give a damn
In the city the same
put everyone to shame
Everybody knows where I'll be
On my feet through Bronx to Malibu
Nothing more to say
Hey, hustle till we break
Don't need nobody to roll, no
Stuck in till I fill up my plate
Gucci, I mean, you know we celebrate
Slay what we do
We get higher every day
That's right, nothing new
Starting fires ain't too bad
Slay what we do
We get higher every day
[phone ringing]
[phone ringing] -[sighs]
Hello.
Hey, you-you answered.
Uh-huh.
Are you okay? What's up?
Uh... Nothing.
I just, I miss you.
I wanted to hear your voice.
Yeah. You know, it's a little loud there.
Sorry. Sorry. I...
I was just dancing.
Okay, look, Melissa,
you got to stop calling
me like this, all right?
I told you it was one night.
It didn't mean anything.
Yeah, but then you, like,
kept flirting with me and...
No, Melissa, I mean it.
You are going to get me in trouble.
Okay?
-Why?
Is Kelly there with you?
-Not right now.
But she does live here, and
she sees who calls me on my p...
Okay, look, it's just
that, I made a mistake.
I never should have left.
I want to be there with you and Kelly.
I mean, she likes me, doesn't she?
Oh, God, I hope she likes me.
Does she know about us?
Should I apologize? I mean...
Look, don't get me wrong.
I would do it all over again. Would you?
I mean, do you think about me in that way?
Because I do.
I think about you all the time.
Goddammit.
Ah! Look, shut the fuck up.
What are you on right now?
Nothing.
Look, you've got to stop
calling me like this, okay?
You are going to fuck everything up.
Not just for you, but for me.
Now, cut this shit out.
I am not playing around.
Goodbye.
-[beeps]
Craig? No, Craig!
[Mogg] Well, I think we're
just about done here, Craig,
but there's one thing
I haven't told you yet.
We found your wife's car in the desert.
There was a body in the trunk.
Yeah, we don't know anything... yet.
Is there any reason to think
that could be Melissa James?
You think that's Melissa?
You think that could be her?
You tell me.
I don't know. Uh...
Fuck.
I mean, I know she had to close
her dance studio in Florida
and she was always broke.
And then she got real
heavy in the drug scene
here in Vegas.
She shows up and gets hooked.
[sighs]
Help me understand,
how did she end up back
here with you in Vegas
in the first place?
She just kept calling me and Kelly
and asking what we were up to and...
Um, you know, I really cared about her.
You know, she was a good friend of mine.
So a couple months ago,
we're getting ready to launch
a, a line of athletic gear
and... just asked her if
she wanted to come help
and... help her make some money.
Keep her out of trouble.
We're here, babe.
We're home.
Hi.
Something smells good.
What's for dinner, babe?
-I don't know.
I'm making lunches for the week.
Hi.
I can't believe it's been two years.
It feels like... you were just here.
I like your hair.
It looks great.
Thanks.
Yours too.
Um, I was thinking tonight
we could go celebrate
the new gig.
Maxtero Athletics here we come!
Sounds great.
Yeah, let me just change my shirt.
Sweating like a pig.
Hey, hey, Kell.
-Yeah.
I just wanted to say thank you so much
for giving me this opportunity.
I really appreciate it.
Craig said you were going
through a rough patch
and if anyone knows what that's like...
it's him.
Plus, I can use the
extra hands around here.
[laughs]
Melissa...
if you're still interested
in personal training,
I would be happy to get you in shape.
You really mean that?
Yeah.
I've been dying to hear you say that.
[laughs] Thank you. Thank you...
You're welcome.
You bet.
Oh, God, I hope these pants
are part of the new line
because they are really working for me.
Yeah?
You can wear whatever you
want with a face like that.
Oh
Yeah uh-huh oh
Oh uh-huh...
Ooh, exciting. Where should I jump in?
Oh, I'm not done with that.
Just, um...
Okay.
Why don't you go to the store
and get me a few things I'm running low on?
Um...
Sure.
Give you a list.
[paper ripping]
Thank you. I appreciate it.
I'll give you my debit card.
The code is 5-1-2-1.
Got it. I'll be back in jiff.
Wait.
Why don't you take the Jag?
I'm not going anywhere today.
[laughs] You scared me.
You scared me.
All right. What are you doing?
What do you mean what I'm doing?
Your wife is right downstairs
and I have work I need to do.
She's not paying attention to anything.
You're going to pretend
you're not excited to see me?
You're calling me for
two years straight, huh?
[indistinct whispering]
[Mogg] Safe to assume your wife didn't know
anything about this?
No, she didn't know. She had no idea.
But you were in a
relationship with Melissa...
No, I was not in a
relationship with Melissa.
We had sex a couple times. That was it.
Usually when she was fucked up.
You trust me?
[woman 3] Let's see.
Oh, I think that'll be perfect.
[phone ringing]
Hey, Meg, what's going on?
Hey, can I come over later?
It's something I want to ask you about.
Uh, well, right now I'm
at Face Inspiration.
Don't tell me you're getting more Botox.
Kell, you really got to lay off that stuff.
You're only supposed
to go every few months.
Your face is going to start sagging.
What? That's-that's impossible.
No, it's not. There's all these studies.
Sorry, honey, I wasn't talking to you,
it's just my credit card got declined.
- Oh, is everything okay?
- Yeah. Yeah, it's fine.
Must be some kind of mistake.
Anyway, you were saying?
Oh, so I was meeting with our
wedding planner this morning,
and can you believe
we're three months away?
Ooh! Sweetie, that's so exciting.
You know I'm here for
you whatever you need.
I was wondering, do you have
any time to train me again?
I've just...
I've been so unmotivated
to go to the gym lately,
and you always know how to make it so fun.
Yes, sure. Bridal bootcamp.
Let's do it. This is perfect.
You have no idea how much I
needed some time with you.
I've been training Melissa and...
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Back up.
Melissa, as in the Melissa?
You're training her now?
-Yeah.
You think it's a bad idea?
No.
I think it's impressive.
You open your home to
her, you give her a job,
and now you're finding the
time to get her in shape.
Yeah, well, that's the only
way I can keep an eye on her.
It's not just about Craig.
I think she's stealing from me.
What?
-[Kelly] I don't know.
I've just been noticing some
strange transactions lately,
and now my credit card was declined.
And...
-[Megan] Kell, I don't...
I don't want to get you worked up,
but I don't think that's in your head.
What do you mean?
[Megan] Well, I reached
out to those friends
that I told you about down in Panama City.
They said that Melissa's studio closed
because she was writing bad checks.
They also said that there's
a rumor going around
that she got caught with credit card fraud.
Are you serious?
That's what I heard.
I got to go, babe.
Oh, there you are.
I've been looking for you everywhere.
What's up, babe?
You know how-how Melissa's using my card?
Yeah.
I think she's taking
money out of the account.
It's so strange. She's
like $40 here and there.
Sometimes it's 100 and I
thought it was fucking crazy,
but it's going to be over a
couple grand at this point.
I let her use the card.
What do you mean? What?
What do you mean what do I mean?
She's our employee. Of
course, she uses the card.
It's okay. I let her buy things sometimes.
It's not a big deal.
The other day she needed
Christmas presents.
I mean, she's going through a rough time.
I don't know...
Are you sleeping with Melissa?
Am I what?
-Just, just...
Kelly, you are my wife. Okay?
I love you. I love you.
-I know, I know.
Stop it. Stop it.
Okay? Stop.
I love you.
Do you believe me?
-Yeah. It's...
Huh?
I will find out what's
happening with Melissa.
Okay. -I promise. Oh, my God, babe.
Please, take a breath.
All right? I love you.
Only you.
Okay?
Oh, baby. Come here.
Come here.
Oh.
Oh, my baby.
I promise nothing's happening.
I love you.
Yeah.
-Okay?
I'm going to take care of this.
Mhm-hm. Okay.
Just after the...
[exhales sharply] What do you think?
Um, yes.
[sighs] -[door closes]
[grunts]
[Melissa] Something smells good.
You want some?
We got enough, right, Kell?
You bet.
Thanks.
What can I do to help?
Just sit. We got it.
So, um, is everything going
okay with Maxtero Athletics?
I never did see what
designs you've settled on.
Yeah... it's going great.
I'm almost done.
-[drawer thuds]
That's good.
[clears throat]
So, I know I'm not too
involved with anything yet,
but the plan is for me to
still work with you, right?
I was just wondering
because I-I really appreciate you guys
putting me up like this and everything,
but... you know, I need to
start earning some more money.
And, you know...
Don't you have enough of our money already?
What?
I don't know what I was
thinking trusting you.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Where did it all go?
What do you spend it on?
Oh, I know about the dance studio.
The bad checks,
the credit card fraud.
Oof.
No wonder
your business was a failure.
You know what? I don't need this.
I'm sure it's how I'm not going
to let you run our business
into the ground!
Kelly...
-Don't. Mhm-hm.
You can give her your money
if you want, but I'm done.
[sobbing] Go away.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
What are you doing?
Please stay. Please stay. Please.
No. I'm leaving for good this time. Okay?
Never should have come back here.
Where are you going to go? Come on.
Kelly's just mad.
She fucking hates me, okay.
She does not hate you.
Yes, she does. I have to go.
Please. Please.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Look, how about this?
I will get you a hotel
room for a couple of nights
and you can clear your head.
And then, if you still want to leave,
I will buy your plane ticket.
Deal?
Okay.
-Okay.
Come here.
Just hear me out, okay?
I don't want her to take off
without getting some real answers.
So I'm going to take her to a hotel,
give her some time to calm down, sober up,
and I'll come back and I'll confront her
about everything.
- And then she's gone?
- And then she's gone.
[door slams]
Uh, I mean, we found
copies of credit cards,
copies of IDs, a HELOC statement.
I mean, I let her into my house,
and it took him two nights
of going over there, but he
finally got her to confess
to everything.
So, he paid for the plane ticket
in the hotel room for the
woman you were kicking out?
Yeah, well, I thought that
was Craig's idea, but...
Yeah, I just...
I wanted her out of my house.
Whatever it took.
Feels better.
You know you need to stay, right?
Kelly will come around, I promise.
I need you here.
I need to go home, Craig.
What's up?
Things are just such a mess right now.
I mean, I need to go...
be with my family
and find a job...
go to rehab.
I get it.
You're going through a lot.
Kelly's a lot.
[sniffles]
But you're perfect.
You know that?
Kelly will come around. I promise.
Come here. Hey.
Come here, hey.
Hey, hey.
Beautiful girl.
I will get you that plane ticket.
You go home to Florida,
be with your family, clean yourself up.
But you have to promise
that you'll come back, okay?
I need you.
You promise?
Good.
I love you.
[cries]
Hi.
-Hey.
What is she still doing here?
She's just coming to get some things,
and then I'm taking her
straight to the airport,
I swear.
-[phone ringing]
Last time you'll ever
have to see her again.
I promise. Okay? Just...
Hello.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, that's not what we agreed on, man.
[Melissa] Hey, listen,
I'll be the first to admit that
I was over Melissa at that point.
I just wanted her out of my house.
I didn't trust her.
But she got the message.
She packed a bag and we
drove her down the street
to the market, and that was that.
[Wilson] The market? Why?
Why not to the airport?
Uh, that's where she
liked to play the slots.
Sometimes it's-it's what she wanted.
So then how did she get to the airport?
Um, I don't know. Um...
She said she'd figure it out.
I didn't want her waiting
in my house for a cab.
Then again, that is if she
even went to the airport.
Why don't you think she
went to the airport?
What I think?
Okay, I think she was hiding out somewhere.
And then she waited to
take a cab to our house
and waited for us to fall asleep,
and then she snuck into the
garage and she stole the car.
[Craig] Look, dude, I get it, okay?
I don't need your little dirty looks.
Writing your little notepad for me to know
that you think I'm a
complete piece of shit.
I got that. I know I'm a
complete piece of shit.
You know how many people fucking hate me?
My wife is the best woman I know.
I know I don't deserve her.
I got that.
But I didn't have anything to do with this.
So, I need you guys to find
out who the fuck did this
before I kill him myself.
Melissa didn't deserve any of this.
[Mogg] Right.
We'll definitely be keeping in touch.
[Wilson] Okay. So, you don't think
that you would have heard
the car at your house?
No. Our-our garage is detached.
Oh. [winces]
Everything okay? -Yeah. I'm sorry.
It's just a, it's a cramp.
It happens sometimes. I just, um...
Oh, I think I've been sitting for too long.
I'm sorry. So...
-Oh, okay.
That's all we need for now.
- Am I free to go?
-[Wilson] It's-it's fine.
I think we have everything
we need to hear for now.
Okay.
Thank you, detective.
I'll, I'll guide you out.
-Okay.
[Mogg] You are free to go.
- Yeah, yeah, no problem.
- Thank you for everything.
We'll get this figured out. Don't worry.
Hey.
-Hold it.
Don't say a word until we get outside.
Let's get out of here.
-Okay.
Thank you, both, for everything.
We'll be in touch.
Ready for some good news?
Ah, I needed this.
Surveillance footage just came in.
For what?
Walmart parking lot.
Ryan's Jag was spotted the other night
Melissa James disappeared.
[sighs]
Holy shit!
-It gets better.
What's in the cart?
-Lighter fluid.
[Wilson] I'll call the
judge and get the warrant.
You get the team ready.
Not a soul here.
I'm thinking this might be our crime scene.
Officer Willis, why don't
you get the BOLO circulating?
It's like we got a couple of runners.
Right away, detective.
[camera shutter clicking]
Hey, Anna, get a couple of photos of this.
[camera shutter clicking]
Can I get an evidence bag, please?
[camera shutter clicking]
Ah, one more.
They are from a taser gun.
The lab was able to match
the serial numbers on them.
What's that give us?
Proof that gun went off
on the date in question.
Four different times.
That's not enough to kill anyone, is it?
Probably not.
This is toxicology report from
the body found in Ryan's trunk.
Melissa James.
Yeah, big surprise.
Check this out.
Lethal dose of morphine
or heroin in her system.
They did say she had a drug problem.
Detectives. Sorry to interrupt.
There's a woman here to see you.
I put her in the interrogation room.
I went last time.
Good luck.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
So, what brings you in tonight?
[Megan] Uh, well, it's actually
about my friend. She, uh...
I think she's in some kind of trouble.
Okay. Who's your friend?
Kelly.
Kelly Ryan.
Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan, Kelly Ryan?
Okay. Just tell me what's been happening.
[Megan] Well, she's been
acting really strange lately.
And I don't know, she told me some things...
You know what? Start from the beginning.
What, uh...
was the first time you noticed the change?
About a week ago.
That's when I knew something was off.
I can't...
[both sobbing]
[shuddering]
[phone ringing]
[Craig] Kelly, your phone.
It's your friend, Meg.
It's Meg. You have to talk to her.
You have to talk to her.
Kelly, just talk to her.
[sighs]
Hello.
Guess who just took her very last test
in her college career?
That means I'm in full weddings.
That's great, sweetie.
We should celebrate soon.
Well, yeah, that's why I'm calling you.
I was wondering what you
guys are doing tonight.
Tonight?
[Megan] I was thinking that maybe
you, Craig, Jeremy and I could, um,
I don't know, grab drinks
after our training session.
Shit, sweetheart.
I'm sorry, sweetie, I don't think
I can do tonight.
[Megan] Why?
Wait, is everything okay?
Yeah, yeah, everything is fine.
It's just there's a lot
going on at home today.
I'm fine, though.
Well, how 'bout just one drink?
We can even come by later.
Please, one drink.
You're my best friend.
I want to celebrate with you.
-Okay.
[Kelly] Later, like tonight?
After dinner?
[Megan] Sure, yeah, okay.
Uh, Jeremy and I can head
to your place around 9:00.
[Kelly] Okay.
Okay.
Yes! Okay, see you soon.
[phone beeps]
[exhales]
[sighs]
[cries]
[indistinct whispering]
[sobs]
Please, Kelly, please, please, please.
[cries]
Please.
Look at me, please.
You're going to be okay.
You're going to be okay.
[door shuts]
[Jeremy] Uh, I told you
we were going to be late.
[Megan] It's fine. They're night owl.
[Jeremy] The house is completely dark.
I talked to them at like, 3:00.
They know we're coming.
Maybe somebody is in here.
Oh, look. Those are the lights.
Maybe they're in there.
[Jeremy] Hello.
Hello.
That's weird.
Maybe they're by the pool.
Uh, I think we would have heard them.
[knocking] -Hello?
We're here. And we brought tequila.
Yo, Craig.
[clicks]
Hey.
-Hey.
Come on in. Hey. There you go.
Hey. How's it going?
-Good, man.
Everything okay?
Yeah, yeah. Why wouldn't it be?
Where's Kell?
She's upstairs. She wasn't feeling great.
So she wouldn't lay down
until you guys got here.
What's wrong with her?
Nothing. She just, you know,
we just had a weird day, you know.
We had to fire our assistant,
so, you know, she's pretty upset about it.
[chuckles] Melissa?
What did she do?
Uh, I mean, we knew
she had a drug problem, we
didn't know how bad it got.
Oh, shit.
-Yeah.
And then we caught her
stealing, and it was...
Oh, yeah, I heard about that.
Um, yeah.
So, I confronted her about it
and just became this whole mess.
So, I-I... But I don't even know
why we're talking about this.
You know, we got a lot
of stuff to celebrate.
Come on. Come on.
Right. Let's celebrate.
-Yeah.
- I'm gonna go check on Kelly.
- What? You...
I'm gonna go check on Kelly.
[Jeremy] Yep.
-Yeah. Okay.
[Megan] Craig was acting so... strange.
I didn't know what was going on,
so I walked upstairs to Kelly's room.
[Megan] Kell?
-Hi.
Hi, sweetie.
-Kell...
Are we too early? -No, no, no.
I'm just...
I'm running late.
Okay. Take your time.
Oh, I wanted to dress up for you today,
but it's been a long day.
Congratulations.
Thank you. Um...
So, what the hell happened anyway?
[Craig] Excited for the big day?
Eh, little nervous, but I'm
ready to be a married man.
Ready to join the club.
Dude, I got to get my
suit tailored for the...
Oh, we're happy to have you at the wedding.
So, you guys coming back from somewhere?
I've just been at the house chilling,
watching videos and shit.
Honestly, I thought you were going to be
our maid of honor for a second there.
Oh, my God, Kell, what happened?
One second.
Cheers.
-Cheers.
When does Megan move in?
Hmm.
She has to wait till after the wedding.
Yeah.
-[indistinct TV chatter]
[laughs]
[Jeremy] Oh, man, these guys are crazy.
Come on. Don't you think this was funny?
Yeah, yeah, it's funny.
[Megan] So, Kelly takes me into her closet
and she sits me down...
and she's all panicked.
And she was telling me about how...
they went into Melissa's bedroom.
Remember how I told you Craig took her
to a hotel to calm down?
-Yes.
Okay, well, while she was there,
we went to her room and
we found this lock box
and-and we found copies of our credit cards
and an HELOC statements
and copies of our IDs...
Oh, my God, that's insane.
Did you say anything to her?
Yeah.
Well, Craig went over there to talk to her
and give her the benefit of the doubt.
Okay.
And?
She denied everything.
She-she denied everything.
And then so,
so she said she wanted to
back to Florida for good,
and then that's...
that's when you brought her back here to,
to get her stuff and...
Oh, Kell, that must have been
so hard for you to face her.
It was a total nightmare.
[Jeremy] You want a shot?
Okay, go ahead.
[Jeremy] There you go.
The fuck is taking these girls so long?
Come on, you know women.
They're probably up there chit chatting.
[laughs]
Oh, shit. Can you believe that?
I'm gonna go check on her.
All right.
I'll be here holding the tequila down.
[Megan] So wait, where's Melissa now?
She's, uh...
She's downstairs.
Wait, she's here? Like in her room?
Is she sleeping?
It all just got out of hand. I don't know.
I just...
I just went to go talk to her.
I just...
And then she started screaming
and then, and then I yelled.
I yelled for Craig and then
he was worried about me
and then he came in, and then he,
he body-slammed her, and then...
Wait, wait, wait, start over.
What do you mean it all got out of hand?
What are you doing in here?
Craig slams the door open,
and he knows that we're
talking about Melissa.
And what did he say?
What are you guys doing in here?
Baby, oh, I was telling
Megan how Melissa went mad,
and how you saved me.
Oh, my God, so amazing how you saved me.
You're my hero.
-You told her?
I told her that you're my hero.
- Thank God you stopped her.
- Yes, you're my hero.
Yeah?
-You're so amazing.
You are amazing.
Amazing!
No one hurts my wife.
-Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, God, Megan,
you should have seen her.
Fuck, like you should have seen her, dude.
All we said was like,
you're fired, you got to go,
and she fucking attacks her.
She comes right after you
and then she comes after me
and I just like, like, like, like
without even thinking about it.
I was just like, get the fuck out.
He said he killed her.
He said that?
Well, not exactly.
He put Kelly in a choke hold,
bragging about how easy it is to do that.
I didn't hurt her. And I'm just, I'm sorry.
I'm just like messing around.
Like when you're
adrenaline is pumping like that
when somebody's in your own home...
And then, he put me in a choke hold.
Attacking you, you know.
She comes out like this,
I'll show you, like that.
She's just like really quick, right?
You don't even think about it.
You're just like how fast
you can kill someone...
Craig, Craig, Craig.
-...in the headlock.
I mean, go fuck back home, like that.
Craig, stop it. Craig, stop it.
The way his biceps were squeezing.
[cries] He cut off my airway, and...
I couldn't breathe.
Craig, stop, stop, just
stop Stop, stop, Craig.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's all right.
- I was just messing around.
- I know. I know.
But like...
-I know.
I'm sorry, Megan, I just...
-I know
I'm sorry, it was a lot.
It was a lot today.
I'm like...
But I-I wasn't taking him seriously.
I, I don't know.
Craig's always exaggerating. So I...
I don't know. He was laughing and all,
and I thought he was just kidding around.
[Craig] Fuck.
Megan, you should have fucking seen it.
It was fucking nuts. Like, she's gone.
She's gone.
I was just showing her.
-You're perfect.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you.
[indistinct chatter]
[Megan] So, I went downstairs,
I made up an excuse,
and I told Jeremy that we
needed to head home. And...
that's when things got even weirder.
Hey, Jer.
Jeremy, let's go. Kell's
not feeling too good.
- I just poured shots.
- No, we really got to go.
Kell's not feeling well.
[Craig] You guys taking off already?
We haven't even celebrated the big news.
Oh, Oh, no, it's okay. Really. I mean,
I can't believe you guys
had this much time to hang,
you know, with everything going on today.
Holy shit, dude, you got a taser.
What are you going to do with this?
I'm not doing nothing with it.
It's just a gag gift.
I'll show you how it works later, okay?
Uh...
[Jeremy] Uh, okay.
[Kelly] It was so good to see you guys.
And I'm so sorry about the workout today.
Maybe we can reschedule for tomorrow.
You know, actually, I have a lot of, um,
wedding errands to run, so I'll call you.
Hey, babe, I'm going to
go start the car, okay?
Later, Craig.
Yeah, call me.
I was halfway out the door...
when Craig stopped me.
Yo, yo, Megan, yo, hey. Uh, before you go,
we're going to go out of
town for a couple days,
so I was just wondering if you could
hold on to this while we're gone.
What is it?
And he...
He handed me this bag.
[Craig] Don't worry about it. It's okay.
I already asked Jeremy.
He said it was fine.
Just take it.
He said it was fine.
[Megan] Uh, Kelly
gave me the nod of
approval, so I took the bag.
All right.
Thanks, Meg.
I love you.
Love you.
Congrats on finishing college.
Thanks.
[door closes]
[screams]
And of course, when we got home,
Jeremy said that Craig never
talked to him about the bag.
I need you to come with me.
Grab that and follow me.
Okay, Ms. Pierson, at this point,
you've admitted to being at
Craig and Kelly's residence
the day Melissa James disappeared.
[Wilson] Yes?
-Yes.
You also brought in the bag
full of incriminating evidence.
Are you starting to see
how serious this is?
You do understand how this looks, right?
So, what's it going to be?
Are you going to tell us
exactly what your friends did?
Or you are looking at
facing charges of your own.
All she said was that
things got out of hand
when Melissa came to grab her bags.
[exhales deeply]
Time to go.
You've got to be kidding me.
You're a fucking junkie, huh?
Is that why you need to have money for?
You're fucking with Craig.
What else do you have in here, huh?
You fucking thief!
[Melissa] Kelly.
Kelly...
Kelly, what are you doing? Please stop.
Kelly, stop. Stop.
-Shut the fuck up!
Kelly, stop.
[Melissa] Kelly.
What are you doing?
-Okay, okay.
Kelly, please stop.
-Are you kidding me?
Are you fucking kidding me?
-No.
Leave me alone.
Where are you gonna go?
You're fucking high.
Melissa...
I felt sorry for you.
And I took you in my own home.
And this is how you fucking repay me?
Get the fuck up.
I know you are stealing from us.
It's not what it looks like...
- you wanted to be me...
- It's not what it looks like.
I swear...
-Oh, yeah?
It's fucking exactly what it looks like.
Leave me alone!
Did you think you'd get away with this?
Did you?
You're done. And what a
lying piece of shit you are!
I didn't do anything wrong. Okay? Stop.
Oh, yeah?
-Stop.
What about you and Craig, huh?
You want to tell me
nothing was going on there?
[crackling] -[groaning]
Like I've said a million times before,
Kelly or Melissa,
I don't know which one had the taser gun.
At some point, it ended up in Kelly's hands
and then she turned to use it on her.
You aren't sure which one had the taser?
Kelly told me that Melissa
had the taser first.
[both grunting]
And then Kelly took it out of her hands.
What else did Kelly tell you?
Craig!
[crackling]
[grunting]
Fuck.
[crackling]
No, Melissa, stop. Stop. No.
Craig!
That's when Craig supposedly
body slammed Melissa
and started beating her up.
Craig!
[grunting]
[grunts]
[Wilson] Those are Kelly's exact words?
Yes.
Why didn't you tell us this sooner?
I guess I was just trying to protect Kelly.
Kelly, what the fuck? Are you okay?
[Craig] What the fuck happened?
Oh, my God.
What is going on?
-[screams]
Fucking bitch! What the
fuck are you thinking?
What are you thinking, huh?
You serious?
You come in here. You
talk to my fucking wife?
Stop it. -You come into my house...
[Kelly] Craig, stop it.
Craig, stop. Craig, stop.
What did you do? -I
didn't do anything, Kelly.
I just saved your fucking
life, it's what I did.
What's wrong with her? What did you do?
There's nothing wrong with her.
She's fine. She's just out.
Is she... -She's going to be fine.
No.
-[Craig] She's sleeping.
Kelly, go get the bag in my bathroom.
Why?
Go get my bag from the bathroom, Kelly.
We'll load her up and we'll
make her think that this is...
She'll just wake up thinking this is all...
No, no, no... -That's it. Kelly, please.
This is the only way. Kelly, please?
Kelly, go now to the bathroom.
Kelly, go get my fucking
bag from the bathroom now!
Why the fuck did you do that?
[cries] Melissa, what the fuck did you do?
What the fuck did you do?
Okay. Come here.
I'm just going to give her
a little bit of morphine.
No, no, wait, she was,
she was high as a kite
when I, when I came in.
[Craig] Kelly, please. I
know what the fuck I'm doing.
Kelly, I know what I'm doing, okay?
Just shut the fuck up.
God, I'm so sorry.
No, please, please stop, please, Craig...
Stop, Kelly!
Please, Craig, just don't do it, please.
Kelly, please, please, Kelly.
[Kelly] Please, Craig, don't...
It's fine, Kelly, I swear to God.
[Craig] Okay, it's fine.
It's going to be fine.
She's going to be fine. Okay.
Wake up.
Wake up, please.
Please.
Hey, Craig, she's, she's not breathing.
What?
She's not breathing.
What do you mean?
She's not fucking breathing!
-Stop, stop.
Kelly, please fucking stop.
Hey, Melissa, Melissa.
Melissa.
Melissa.
Melissa.
[cries]
Melissa. Melissa.
No.
Melissa. Hey, baby.
Hey, Melissa.
Melissa. Melissa!
We have to call the... -Melissa.
Stop! Stop!
Kelly, please. Melissa, wake the fuck up!
Melissa, baby.
Hey, hey.
-Call 911.
Hey, hey, hey. Melissa, wake up.
Wake up, Melissa. -[Kelly]
We have to call 911.
We're not calling fucking 911.
Melissa, wake the fuck up!
Melissa! Fuck! Wake up right now. Fuck!
We're not calling anyone.
We have to call someone,
we have to call someone!
We're fine. Oh, my God, this is...
[Craig] I'm not going back to prison.
I'm not going back to prison, Kelly.
Kelly, look. Hey, hey, hey.
Kelly. Kelly. Kelly.
-[wailing]
Kelly, please.
Look at me. She OD'ed.
No...
-She OD'ed.
She OD'ed.
That's all that happened, Kelly.
She OD'ed. She OD'ed. That's it.
She OD'ed. I need you
to say it with me, okay?
I...
She's an addict and she OD'ed.
Okay? Come here.
I love you. I'm not gonna
let anything happened to you?
She did this. She OD'ed. Okay?
I need you to say it. She OD'ed.
Say it, please.
She OD'ed.
-She OD'ed.
We have to get rid of the body, okay?
And we'll be okay.
Get her legs.
Please.
Baby, look at me.
Get her legs.
I love you. Get her legs.
We're going to be fine. Go now.
Now, please get her legs. Get her legs.
Hang on. Okay.
[grunting]
It's really hard to believe that
your best friend is capable
of something like this.
And you believe it now?
When was the last time you saw Kelly?
About a week ago. -She was here, in town?
Not at her house.
She had me meet her at a friend's place.
Look, Jeremy didn't want me to go
because of everything that
happened with the bag,
but I felt like it was the last time
I was ever going to see her, so I went.
Megan... what aren't you telling us?
They were looking for somebody...
to be their witness...
someone to... tell the police
that they found...
Melissa had OD'ed in the back of the car.
Why did they want that person to be you?
Because I was there the
night that she died.
They put her body in the back of car...
drove it out into the desert, and then...
[fire roars]
They set the car on fire.
What about Craig and Kelly?
Any idea where they are?
No, they just said that they
were going to skip town.
[sighs]
Hmmm.
File it down please.
[sighs] Thank you.
[banging on window] -Put
your hands on the wheel.
Put your hands where I can see them,
on the wheel. Open this door.
Please step out of the vehicle.
Slowly. Keep your hands up.
Step out of the vehicle, slowly.
Please keep your hands up.
