As many of you know,
Lisa and I met on a blind date three years ago.
I still remember walking her to her car that night.
I had this odd feeling I was going to marry her.
When you know, you know, right?
As I stand here today, I am a broken man.
My better half is gone.
And Madison's mother's gone.
She loved being your mother more than anything
in the world, maddie.
Please know that.
Thank you.
Madison...
So, are we the definition of the modern woman?
No boys allowed the night before Valentine's?
Or... are we just desperate?
Desperate? Claire, it's galentine's, as in,
a night for us gals to own our independence.
And who needs a guy to have fun anyway?
Well, I wouldn't mind one once in a while
to go to dinner and a movie with.
Someone who treats me with respect.
Oh, yeah. Sorry.
It's been over a year and I haven't gone on one date yet.
I gotta start living again.
Hey, I like this new attitude.
So, how'd you find out about this place
we're going to, anyway?
-I got a dm from them.
Apparently, it got a new owner and a makeover.
Sounds like another reason to celebrate to me!
-Well, I can't stay out too late.
Why?
Have you forgotten our new boss starts tomorrow?
-Oh right.
I can't believe Margaret Coleman
bought the whole company.
Her family is crazy rich.
Well, she's gonna love you, you know why?
Because you're great at what you do. 'K?
So, you're gonna walk in there tomorrow
like you own the place.
Hey. Happy Valentine's day.
I'm Scott.
Someone didn't get the memo.
It's galentine's day.
Three more hours till Valentine's.
Guess I'm gonna have to stick around then.
But warning, you may instantly fall in love with me.
No...
Ooh...
Uh, bye-eee.
Buh-bye.
Bye.
Just for that, I’m ordering rounds.
'Cause you slayed that idiot.
He's, uh, been hitting on every girl in here.
Guys like that give the male species a bad name.
Hi. Tiffany.
Brian.
Sophia.
Oh, sorry. Claire.
Nice to meet you.
Ah, look at that, drinks.
It's a pleasure meeting you.
Enjoy.
Brian might have a thing for you!
He does not!
Oh no, I think she's right.
Yeah. You're a hot commodity.
Ok. Claire, admit it.
Totally.
Seriously, stop it right now.
This is supposed to be a girls' night, anyway.
So, let's have fun and, uh, just enjoy these free shots.
That's cool, right?
Here's to galentine's.
This has been so much fun.
I'm so happy; I knew you'd love it here.
Happy Galentine's day.
Happy Galentine!
Oh well, I'm gonna hit the bathroom
'cause I think my make-up is melting off.
Oh, yeah.
And I should get going.
Uh, no, no! Wait until we get back.
Don't leave, ok?
Fine. Fine. Ok.
Hey, you.
Brian, right?
Either you're good with names or...
I made an impression.
Well, maybe it was a little bit of both.
All right, well, I'll take it.
So, Claire. What do you do for a living?
I'm a designer. Uh, high-end sportswear.
And what do you do?
Oh, I'm in... in sales.
Hmm. And are you... Originally from Philly?
No, actually, uh, Atlanta.
So, what do you think of this place?
It's got a really good vibe.
Then can I show you something cool?
Uh... my friends are...
Ah, come on, just five minutes.
I promise I'll have you back, all right?
Ok. Five minutes.
Five minutes.
Ok. Yeah.
How beautiful is this?
Oh. It's... gorgeous.
Yeah.
Are we even allowed up here?
Oh, it's fine. I know the owner.
He's actually going to use this as part
of the restaurant.
What a great idea.
Yeah.
You know, sometimes you just gotta stop...
And appreciate the little things, right?
I couldn't agree more.
I lost my wife a couple of years ago,
so now I don't take anything for granted.
I am so sorry.
It got a little easier with time.
Friends tell me I need to get out there again
and go on dates.
Well, mine tell me the same thing.
That all I care about is work and working out so...
Well, I happen to, uh, love work,
and I can't function without my daily run.
Where do you run?
Oh, just around the neighborhood. You?
Briarwood Park.
The trails are rugged; It's super isolated.
It's Philly's best kept secret.
Nice. I'll definitely have to check it out.
Mm hmm.
Hey, will you look at that, 12:01.
Mmm.
I guess I'm officially your Valentine
by sheer proximity alone.
I guess you are, Brian.
I'm sorry I don't have any flowers or chocolates.
It's a... little last-minute.
Well, sometimes spontaneity is the best gift.
That's a really cool way to look at things.
Mm hmm.
I can't believe she left.
Mm. Maybe she's with Mr. Forever.
Or not.
Yeah?
I feel this instant connection with you, Claire.
I, uh, I really should... Get back to my friends.
Ok.
Oh, my friends must've left.
Shoot, they tried texting me.
Well, I'd better go. - Ok.
But, uh, it was so nice meeting you.
The pleasure was all mine.
Oh.
Wow. 30 minutes for a ride.
Hey, I don't want to be too forward,
but can I give you a ride?
I'm leaving anyway.
Oh. It's ok, I'll be fine.
Well, it's gonna be after one by the time you get home.
You know what?
Sure... I would love a ride.
All right.
Just parked over here.
Nope, on the inside.
Dad raised me right.
This is it. You can turn into my driveway
and drop me off there.
Thank you for the ride.
You're welcome.
I'm gonna walk you to the door.
Ok.
Thank you.
I really enjoyed tonight.
Yeah, me too.
Can I see you again?
I would like that.
Could I have your number?
Yes, of course, of course.
Oh, let me get that for you.
I normally don't do this, uh, but, uh...
Do you want to come in?
I thought you'd never ask.
What's wrong?
It's just, uh...
If you don't want to do this, it's ok.
No, I do.
I do.
Gonna keep an eye on you, Claire
Sleep well, Claire.
Your life's about to change.
"I feel like I've known you forever.
Who needs Galentine's when you have Valentine's."
I can't believe you left without telling us.
I, uh, actually didn't leave before you.
What do you mean?
I was with the drinks guy, Brian.
Really.
He's nice.
Mm hmm. And?
He, uh...
Came home with me.
Oh, my god!
Shh!
Maybe I shouldn't have.
Why not?
I mean, he's handsome, seemed really nice.
Clearly a professional and you haven't been with a guy
in forever.
Thanks, tiff. I guess you're right.
I know I'm right.
So, are you gonna see him again?
I don't know...
But I like him.
Good luck meeting with the new boss!
Please, have a seat.
I want you to know how hard I'm gonna work for you
and how happy I am to be here.
This is my dream job.
Relax.
I'm glad to hear that.
I was very impressed by that floral line you created.
You seem to have a different eye from everyone else here.
Thanks.
I'd love to know what other ideas you have.
Tons.
And I want to learn as much as I can from you too.
Well, that's great.
We need a younger perspective around here.
You know what?
Would you like to join me for lunch today?
Of course.
Thank you, Ms. Coleman.
Oh please, Margaret.
I look forward to seeing what you'll bring to the brand.
Thank you.
Claire.
Got it. Thank you.
Lunch with Margaret is at city bistro 215 at noon.
Hm, what a coincidence.
I know, right?
Since we were just there last night?
All right, you guys enjoying the food here?
Great. Fantastic.
Ah. Claire!
What brings you back here?
I am meeting someone. What're you doing here?
I have a confession to make.
I own the restaurant.
You said that your friend did.
I know. I was just wanting to have fun
like everyone else last night
and we were so in the moment.
I'm sorry.
It's ok.
Thank you for the chocolates, by the way.
Where'd you get them in the middle of the night?
Oh, I know a little 24-hour bodega near your place.
I slipped out and slipped back in.
Mmm.
You know, you are beautiful when you sleep.
I'd really like to see you again.
That would be nice.
Forgive me!
The doctor was running late.
Hi, honey.
Hey.
Sorry, I didn't make a reservation
not that I need one.
I see you've already met my husband.
Brian, this is Claire Donahue.
Nice to meet you, Claire.
Mm hmm.
Now, if you don't like something,
you know who to complain to.
Iced tea ok for both of you?
Yeah. Thanks, sweetie.
Hey. Wait, where's your wedding ring?
Huh? Oh, I was cooking and took it off.
I'll be right back, ok?
All right. Come, have a seat.
So, tell me.
Do you have a special someone
to celebrate Valentine's day with?
You know, I thought I did but, no.
Well, don't wait too long to settle down.
I was very focused on my career
and then I got married pretty quick.
Never thought it'd happen, actually.
Claire?
Yes. Sorry, I just, I have a bit of a headache.
Can you just excuse me for a minute?
Just calm down.
Calm... down.
We need to talk.
Just get away from me.
Claire, you need to...
Get away from me!
Claire...
Here goes nothing.
I mean, what did he say?
Honestly, I was in such shock, I can barely remember.
I don't know how I went back and did lunch with Margaret.
Wow.
This is what I get.
The only time I have ever had
a one-night stand in my entire life.
I should've just stayed home!
It's not your fault.
He told me he respected me.
Oh, honey, you just had some really bad luck.
That's an understatement.
What am I supposed to do?
Tell Margaret and risk my job?
Or pretend like nothing happened?
I mean, that's a tough one.
Do you really wanna risk blowing up
your career for this?
My dad cheated on my mom.
All of his friends knew.
Nobody had the decency to tell her.
She could've left him years earlier.
And that's terrible.
But you barely know these people.
Don't make their dirty laundry yours.
You didn't die for nothing, dad.
Mom took us for everything.
But I promise...
That's never gonna happen to me again.
"Brian Coleman,
new owner of city bistro 215 attends grand opening
with his wife, Margaret Coleman."
Well, that didn't take long, Claire.
"Local restaurateur's wife ruled a suicide.
Lisa Coleman, 38, was pronounced dead
in her Trenton home."
What are you doing here?
I needed to see you.
I told you, leave me alone.
Margaret and I are getting a divorce.
It's a mutual decision.
It doesn't change the fact that you lied to me.
Just give me five minutes to explain.
Please.
Fine.
After my wife Lisa, died,
I was in a really bad place.
And Margaret was there at the right time.
But, honestly, I had no business marrying her.
So, why did you?
It was a rebound relationship.
We never truly loved each other.
You should've just been honest with me.
Look, I was afraid you wouldn't understand.
Lying is what I don't understand.
God, Claire, look, I...
I can't explain it, but it's, it's like I told you
that first night.
I, I felt this instant attraction to you.
I've never experienced that before, like a...
Like a lightning bolt.
And I know you felt it too.
When I thought you were single.
I really like you.
Please, give me a chance.
I, uh, I need time to ...Think.
Well, don't overthink it.
We could be really good together.
You should go.
You know where the door is.
You think they're really getting divorced?
I mean, he seemed sincere, but,
how can I really trust him?
What are you gonna do?
My gut is telling me to run,
but my heart is saying that I kinda like him.
Tiffany, what's wrong with me?
Nothing.
It's called being human.
And maybe there's something there.
But there are guys out there with no baggage, you know.
Yeah, really?
'Cause I haven't met one yet so...
Did you see that?
What?
Margaret looked really upset.
Do you think she knows?
About you and her lying husband?
Girl, I don't think you'd still be here if she did.
I feel sick.
Can I get you anything?
No. I need to go.
'K, cover for me.
Mom?
In here, honey.
Hey, mom.
Hey, sweetie.
Are you all settled?
Yes.
And thank you for letting me use your guest room.
Mm hm.
I'm just looking at bathroom fixtures.
I swear there's a million choices.
Hmm. When's the new condo going to be ready?
Uh, the contractor said it should be a couple of weeks.
I just wish the new owners didn't insist
on moving in immediately.
Everybody's all about themselves these days.
So why aren't you at work?
I'm just a little out of sorts.
Do you want some chamomile tea?
That would be lovely.
Wanna talk about what's bothering you?
It's just one of those days.
And how was your night out with Tiffany and Sophia?
What do you girls call it again?
Uh, Galentine's.
It was ok.
-Just ok? Did you meet anyone?
No, mom. It's a night for the gals.
Besides, I thought that I was ready to put myself
out there again, but I'm not.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, lying to mom, Claire.
But you've been doing great.
Well, apparently the universe doesn't believe
that I deserve happiness so...
Hey, where's this coming from?
Did something happen?
No. It's just it's not easy being out there again.
You have to stop beating yourself up.
What happened to Mark was an accident.
It's over, Mark!
Can we please talk about this?
It seemed like all you wanted to do was talk
to that waitress!
You haven't changed.
Leave me alone!
Mark! No!
Mark! Wake up!
Mark! Somebody help me!
I killed him, mom.
Ooh, you are a troubled girl, Claire.
It was an accident.
And he put you in that position by cheating on you
so many times.
He made your life hell.
Like, dad did to yours?
Hey, we've both worked to put the past behind us.
Well, it's hard, mom.
Maybe you should think about starting therapy again.
-I don't need therapy.
-Well, what about going back on your meds?
I worked really hard to get off them.
Yes, but if they help?
I'd feel like I'd be taking a step backwards.
Well, can I make dinner for you tonight?
I'll cook lasagna, your favorite.
Mm, I'm just really not hungry.
I'm just gonna go for a run in the park
after I finish this work; Clear my head.
Hey, you.
Brian!
You scared me.
Oh, sorry, I didn't think anyone would be out here
running in the middle of the day.
Why are you?
Well, you made the park sound so great,
I decided to check it out for myself.
Oh.
Shouldn't you be at work?
Ah, I needed a mental health break.
Trust me, I get it.
Mind if I join you?
I don't know, I...
Just as friends.
But I promise it's gonna be the best run
you've ever taken.
I happen to be a licensed armchair therapist.
Ok.
But you're gonna have to catch me first.
Oh, don't worry, I will!
You'd better be quicker than that.
I'm lightning.
I'm catching up!
So, what was her main course, water?
Well, I finally told her...
We have some nice gluten-free Styrofoam in the back.
You did not.
I did.
You know, I love it when you smile.
Hm.
I haven't been doing a lot of that lately.
You should know, uh,
Margaret got the divorce paperwork today.
Oh.
You know, I saw her earlier.
She looked upset.
Is that why?
Yeah.
I think it's just the finality of it.
Hm.
I'm surprised she was in at all.
She said she wanted to take her mind
off of everything.
Hey, listen. She and I both hate
that we couldn't make it work.
But it's the right thing to do.
Doesn't make it any easier though.
You can't beat yourself up.
Sometimes things just don't work out.
Thanks.
I think I'm the one that needed
the mental health break.
So, did you move out yet?
No. It's a, it's a big house.
Margaret told me I could stay until I find a place.
She's a good woman.
I probably should head home.
Ok. I'll walk you to your car?
Ok.
Let me get that for you.
You know, every time I kiss you...
I feel like I'm the luckiest man in the whole world.
So what do you think?
Could we go out sometime on a real date, take it slow?
Now that all of this is out in the open?
I, uh...
I think I need some more time.
Well, I'm a patient man.
You shouldn't be so trusting, Claire.
It can get you into all kinds of trouble.
You're fired!
Homewrecker!
Where's Margaret?
I'm not sure, but I heard her friend's husband died.
Probably why she looked so upset yesterday.
I thought it was because she got served
the divorce papers.
Are you talking to her husband again?
Yeah. I saw him in the park.
He said that they've agreed on the terms.
So you're hanging out with him?
We literally bumped into each other.
We had a good talk.
I think he really likes me.
Ok. Just be careful, all right?
Each customer with that same great smile, ok?
Hi. Can we talk?
Look, I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
Excuse me?
I told you. Stop calling me. Stop following me.
What are you talking about? - Please. Just go.
But you said all those things to me earlier.
I haven't seen you today and I have no idea why you're here.
But if you don't go, I'm calling the police.
I'm not gonna ask you again! - Brian!
Call the police.
Don't bother!
Call them!
I'll be in my office if anyone asks.
I don't want to be disturbed.
I mean, why is he doing this?
Oh!
And why did I come here?
I'm going to trap you like a rat, Claire.
Now...
You've reached Tiffany. You know what to do.
Tiffany? Please call me as soon as you get this, ok?
Something really bad happened tonight.
Hello?
Sorry.
Have a good night.
What are you doing here?
Wait! No! No, no! No, please! No!
Why?
Your time was up, Margaret.
What's going on?
Tiffany!
Did you hear what happened to Margaret?
She was stabbed to death!
Oh my god. Do they know who did it?
They're not saying if they do, no.
I heard they stole her purse and jewelry as well, so...
Yeah.
I'm leaving.
But what if they want to talk to us?
Why would they?
Because we work here.
Well, I'm sure they can find me.
Hey.
What did you want to talk to me about last night?
You said something really bad happened.
Oh. N-Nothing.
I'm gonna go for a run, clear my head.
Text me later?
Well, what are the police saying?
Nothing to the employees, and I can't find anything
on the news other than the robbery theory.
I hate this!
Are you ok?
Is there something else, honey?
Sure, there is.
Your daughter's not well, Anna.
Claire, I’m worried about you.
There's something I need to tell you.
Ok.
Oh, Claire.
I had no idea what you were going through.
I'm sorry. Mom, I screwed up.
Bad.
Are you ok?
I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know what's up or down anymore.
I just...
You couldn't have known he was married.
And what happened to her,
it has nothing to do with you, right?
Oh, but it does, but it does.
He told me that he felt an instant connection.
My judgement fails me again.
Hm.
Who is it?
Tiffany.
She says the police want to talk to everyone tomorrow.
She wants to meet up.
Oh, we should just drown our sorrows in wine.
Coffee is probably a better choice.
We're gonna meet at the ground bean at 8.
Ok, it looks like I'll meet you ladies at the coffee shop.
Hey, girl.
Hey.
How are you feeling?
A little on edge. You?
Yeah. Pretty much the same.
No one I know has ever been murdered.
Come on. Let's go.
Seriously? You need to stop following me!
I told you, leave me alone!
What are you talking about?
-I don't know what else I can say to you
to make you understand.
I want nothing to do with you.
I am not following you.
Oh, so it's a coincidence you keep showing up
wherever I am! Is that how that works?
Why are you doing this to me?
To you?
Be careful.
This one is a real psycho.
You know what?
If you won't leave, it's fine; I will.
My god.
Ok, what was that all about?
I don't know. This is the
second time that he's done this.
Done what?
Acted like I'm crazy.
Yeah. Ok. Sit here.
Do you wanna know the really bad thing
that happened last night?
What?
I went to his restaurant to talk.
Only, he made it seem like I was stalking him.
He is messing with me, Tiffany.
And I don't know why.
How would he even know you were going to be here, though?
Beats me. But, obviously, I didn't follow him!
Claire.
Your mom called me a little while ago.
She's worried about you.
She thinks maybe you should go back on your medication.
I gotta go.
We just want to help you!
You're not crazy.
The detective's interviewing everybody
in the conference room.
Hey, she just wants to know if we saw anything.
I already talked to her.
The questions were routine.
There's nothing to worry about.
Claire Donahue?
Thank you.
It was an accident. He fell.
You have to believe me. I swear.
Thank you for making the time.
This'll be quick.
No problem.
Have you seen anyone suspicious hanging around
in the parking lot? Any strange cars?
No.
Have you or your colleagues had any problems with anyone?
Had anything stolen recently?
Uh, not that I'm aware of.
Generally, we feel pretty safe around here...
Until now, of course.
How well did you know Margaret Coleman?
Not very, she only just bought the company.
So you haven't heard of anything going on in her life?
What do you mean?
Did she seem ok?
Like I said, I didn't know her very well.
Do you think that this could be connected
to the other muggings downtown?
It could be.
We can't say for sure.
Did you get any security camera video?
I can't answer any questions about
an ongoing investigation, but
I can assure you we're doing all that we can.
Please give me a call if you hear anything,
or remember something that could be relevant.
Hey.
Everything ok?
Seems to me like they think it's a robbery.
See, I told you it'd be fine.
So, what's going to happen to the company?
I guess it depends on who Margaret left it to
in her will.
Do you know?
No idea.
So, what, are we just supposed to keep working?
Yeah. The VPS are taking over for now
until we're given our marching orders so...
Hello.
Absolutely. Right away.
"Police sources say the murder weapon
has been located in the death of wealthy designer,
Margaret Coleman.
It's unclear what weapon was used or where it was found."
Claire! Did you hear?
-Yeah. I just saw. They found the murder weapon.
-Yeah, a letter opener.
-What? From where?
Apparently, the cops think it's the one
from the copy room at work.
Margaret's assistant was working late
and said the detectives came back.
I mean, this might not have been a robbery, after all.
-But who would want to do this from work?
She just bought the company.
- No clue. But she says the police want to
interview everyone again and take our prints.
- Really?
- Yeah, I mean, I’m not surprised.
I'll see you at work tomorrow.
You're gonna be there, right?
Yeah. Sure.
Claire. Everything's gonna be fine.
I gotta go.
Oh, what the hell is going on?
Tracking me, Claire?
What, are you a psycho?
In light of our new discovery,
can you run through your timeline again?
Yeah.
Uh, as I've stated, I was in my office doing paperwork.
You saw the surveillance video.
I went home after the restaurant closed.
I fell asleep watching the news in the living room.
And, uh, when I woke up, I assumed Margaret
was at her morning yoga class.
I went to my workout,
and that's when I got the call from you.
What was your relationship like with your wife?
I wanna be totally honest with you.
I was considering getting a divorce.
I even met with an attorney.
Name?
Gerald parsing.
I told him I didn't want anything from my wife
except to keep the restaurant.
I was planning to take over the mortgage payments.
What was the problem with your marriage?
We were both focused too much on work.
Oh, and you should also know.
I, uh, spent the night with someone a few nights ago.
Name?
Claire Donahue.
She actually worked for Margaret.
And how did you meet her?
At my restaurant.
Have you seen her since?
Yes. But not because I wanted to. She's been...
Stalking me.
She came by my restaurant unannounced uh,
and then showed up at the park while I was there.
Oh, and somehow, she found me
at a coffee shop two nights ago.
Name of this coffee shop?
The ground bean.
It's been escalating with her and,
and I know I should've said something earlier,
but I thought this was a robbery.
Do you have any proof
of what you're accusing Ms. Donahue of?
Well, my hostess saw her at the restaurant.
Actually, she called the police.
Um, and one of Claire's friends, uh,
was at the coffee place with her.
Do you know the name of this friend?
Stephanie?
Maybe Tiffany, I, I only met her once.
Does Claire know you were thinking about
getting a divorce from your wife?
Yes. I told her the first night we met.
Then what could her motive be?
If she had something to do with your wife's death?
When Claire found me in the park,
I told her I was rethinking the divorce.
The whole one-night-stand, it, uh, had left me...
Sort of empty.
And Margaret wanted to give us another shot.
Claire didn't take it well.
I have text messages.
Uh. Here.
Do you believe him?
Those texts were pretty bad,
and you saw the surveillance video.
He was in his office and his car was in the parking lot
at the time she was killed.
Pretty solid alibi.
Yeah, but you know as well as I do,
the spouse is number one.
Maybe he had an accomplice.
What did Claire Donahue say yesterday, anyway?
Not much. I mean, she was a little bit nervous,
but her boss was just murdered, so...
You gotta talk to her again.
I just wish we had that damn security video
from the murder scene.
Awfully convenient that the camera didn't work
the night of the murder.
Oh, the tests are back on the weapon.
Three unknown sets of prints, one match so far.
Who?
Claire Donahue.
Why are her prints in the system?
Good question.
Looks like she was arrested for manslaughter.
Her ex-boyfriend.
She was never formally charged.
And it was ruled an accident.
Huh.
Hello, Claire!
Stay away from me!
Just wanna talk.
Now you wanna talk?
Look, I thought you should know,
I told the police about our one-night stand.
What? Why would you do that?
'Cause I'm an honest person, Claire.
And I thought it was important that they knew.
I'm sure they're gonna want to talk to you
if they haven't already.
I had nothing to do with your wife's murder.
Well, it's just a heads-up.
You're welcome.
You're sick.
Well, I should probably get back to my run.
You have yourself a good day, all right?
What is happening?
"Tiffany, please call me as soon as you get this, ok?
Something really bad happened tonight."
I found this under Brian Coleman's car.
I think we know how she's been tracking him now.
He told the police about what happened with you?
He said he was being honest.
I guess that makes some sense.
Yeah, but the way he's acting doesn't.
I mean, he's all over me one minute,
and a total jerk the next.
I'm scared.
Mom, that letter opener came from my work.
Well, did everyone have access to it?
It's from the copy room, so yeah.
Would Brian Coleman have access?
Well, his wife owned the company so, I guess.
You said he was acting strange at the coffee shop.
And, when you came to the restaurant
on the night of the murder, right?
Yeah, he told me to leave.
Caused a major scene.
But earlier that day, you had a great time
on the running trail when no one was around?
At first, I was thinking that he was treating me badly
in front of people so that his wife wouldn't find out
but now...
Mom.
I think that he's playing some kind of game.
He's up to something.
What do you know about this guy?
Not much.
He told me that he's been married before.
His wife killed herself.
Oh, really?
He said that his relationship with Margaret was a rebound,
that he didn't really love her.
Would he have reason to kill her?
She's worth a lot of money.
It terrifies me to say this, but
I think that he might be trying to frame me!
I'm not going to jail!
He is!
You're back on your meds?
Yes, mom. Happy now?
Ok. Just calm down.
Don't tell me to calm down!
Maybe I should call dad.
Ask him what to do.
I'll get it.
Can I help you?
I'm detective Bailey with Philly pd.
Is your daughter Claire home?
Yes. What's this about?
The murder of Margaret Coleman.
You need to come downtown with me.
Text Sophia. Her number's in my phone.
I'd like to see your phone.
Do you have a warrant?
No.
Then, no.
Not without my lawyer.
Tell Sophia to meet me at the station.
Yes.
They think that I killed her, mom!
They found my prints on the murder weapon.
So why weren't you arrested?
I don't know.
Did you tell them about Brian?
No, Sophia said not to say anything.
Is she still at the station?
The last I saw, she was talking to the detectives.
She wants us to come see her tomorrow about the case.
Ok.
I'm sorry.
About what I said about dad.
You didn't deserve that.
I am so grateful for you.
I know. It's ok, honey.
I love you.
Everything's gonna be fine.
So... they found three other sets of prints
on the letter opener.
That's why you weren't arrested.
Well, whose were they?
They won't say.
But you should know that they have text messages
that apparently show you were obsessed with Brian Coleman.
From Brian's phone.
I never text him.
Here, you can look at my phone.
The police said it came from your number.
Well, that is impossible.
He must have faked them somehow.
Well, he was here a couple of times.
Maybe he did something.
It's possible.
They also have a video of an argument
with the two of you at a coffee shop.
He claimed that I followed him there.
But I was already going to that place.
Look. My text to Tiffany proves it.
What do we have?
It's gone.
Mom, you know I was going to meet her.
Yes, she was.
Ok. There's something else that I learned,
and it doesn't look good, Claire.
The police checked Brian's car and they found a tracker.
So?
So, it traces back to your credit card.
What? He must've stolen my number.
You have to tell the police
about what Brian's been doing...
I don't want to say anything until we know more.
Claire can look like the unstable one.
Especially given... Her past.
And you should know, since I advised you
not to turn over your phone...
I'm sure they're working on a warrant as we speak.
So now I look even more guilty because I'm not cooperating.
And, I mean, my alibi is terrible.
I was driving around to clear my head.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, calm down.
The last thing you want is to say something
you're gonna regret later.
Ok?
Anything can be used against you in trial.
What? Trial?
We're not there yet.
Not even close.
We need to find out everything we can
about this Brian Coleman.
I put my money on the girl.
Yeah, but we've got three other print matches
on the weapon.
All Coleman's employees.
All with no motive.
Claire Donahue slept with the husband and let's not forget,
she killed her ex-boyfriend and spent six months
in court-ordered therapy.
What happened in new York was an accident.
The file says she has PTSD.
She sounds crazy to me.
Let's talk about Brian Coleman.
He has two wealthy dead wives in his rear-view mirror.
Not to mention he's about to collect five million dollars
on the estate. - True.
But the lawyer you spoke to confirmed
that he wasn't planning on asking for any money
in the divorce.
That could've been part of his premeditated plan.
You saw the texts and the tracker.
Claire Donahue wanted Brian Coleman for herself.
Do we really think that anyone could get
that obsessed so quickly?
They'd only just met.
I've seen it happen before.
The judge signed my warrant.
What are you waiting for?
I remember Brian saying that he had a stepdaughter.
Well, did he tell you her name?
No. But there was an obit for his wife I saw online.
Can you find it?
Lisa Coleman, 38, Trenton.
Survived by her daughter, Madison Kennedy,
and her parents, Jack and Tina sallow.
I wonder if Madison still lives in Trenton?
Nothing's coming up.
No social media.
No job link.
That's strange.
Her mother's maiden name is sallow.
Look at this.
Well, that must've been before Brian came along.
Is there an address listed?
No. But I can reverse image search it.
See if it's listed on any real estate sites.
Got it. 12 poppy Lane.
You should have never gone
nosing around in my business, Claire.
That's a bad idea.
I'm going to keep my promise, dad.
Don't worry.
I guess I'm going to Trenton, to try to find Madison.
I'm coming with you.
No!
Sorry, mom.
I'm just, I'm a little on edge.
Sophia said that the police are probably trying to get
a search warrant for my house too so...
I need you to stay up-to-date on what they're doing.
I don't think you should go.
We need to tell the police.
I can't trust anyone right now!
Madison.
Can I help you?
You don't know me.
My name is Claire Donahue.
I was hoping to ask you a few questions about Brian Coleman.
Um, I can't help you. I'm sorry.
Madison, please.
I think he's trying to frame me for murder.
Murder?
Ok, come in.
Brian's new wife was just murdered.
And I think that he did it.
I can't believe this is happening again!
Again?
He's dangerous.
Very dangerous.
You don't want to mess with him.
He is messing with me.
Did he do something to your mom?
He, uh, either killed her or drove her to kill herself.
Pick your poison.
Why would he want her dead?
Money.
He convinced my mom to leave him
half of everything in her will.
And did he get it?
Mm.
She secretly changed it a few days before she died.
Why?
She feared him near the end.
She was going to file for divorce
but never got the chance.
Madison, did you tell the police all this?
They wouldn't listen to me.
Since she had a history of depression,
they ruled it a suicide.
They said there was no evidence to prove otherwise.
I want to show you her journal.
Brian was mentally torturing her.
Did you hear that?
Yeah.
Does anyone else know you were coming?
Just my mom.
Someone's in the house.
Hi. We need the police right away.
There's an intruder inside the house at 12 poppy Lane.
Come help me move this.
Open the door, Madison.
It's over.
What's she got in there? Come on!
Madison!
Madison.
Are you ok?
Help is on the way.
But I can't stay here.
Go. I'll be ok.
I'm so sorry.
What am I gonna do?
Call mom.
Claire! Where are you? I need you to come home!
I can't right now.
Sophia said there's now a warrant out for your arrest
and the police were here.
They found Brian's house key
and a photo of him and his wife.
- What?
I have to go.
Well, where are you going?
Dad's place. I think he can help me with something.
Claire!
Dad.
I need your help.
The police are after me.
What?
Is the house still in grandpa's name?
Yes.
Then they probably won't find me here.
Why didn't you come to me sooner on all this?
Dad, our relationship hasn't exactly been a greeting card.
I know. And I’m sorry for that.
Well, maybe you should've thought about that
before you made the choices that you did.
I deserved that.
How's your mom?
She's all right.
Biggest regret of my life, hurting her, and you.
But now.
We gotta get you out of this mess.
Since you know so much about computers,
I was hoping that maybe you could take a look at mine.
You said you thought this Brian guy
always seems to know where you are.
Might have been faking texts, posting on social media?
Did he ever have access to your phone or computer?
Well, he was at my house so, I guess.
What are you doing?
I'm checking your virtual ports.
He may have installed spyware.
Just as I thought.
A key logger.
What's a key logger?
It records every keystroke you make
on your keyboard.
He's probably got all your passwords.
And he can log in remotely, which means
he can watch you through your camera.
Oh my god!
What about my phone?
- It's hot.
- What does that mean?
- Classic sign of a key logger.
Has your battery been draining quickly?
Is it slow?
Yeah. Come to think of it.
The file will end in APK if it's been infected.
Here it is. He's got your phone too.
You know, there are all kinds of ways
to spoof calls and texts.
Son of a bitch!
I have a lot stronger things I'd like to say.
Well, I guess it pays to have a software engineer for a dad.
So, I need to destroy this.
He probably knows where I am.
I told mom that I was coming here.
I doubt he'll find this place.
Plus, I'm installing anti-virus software
so there's no need to destroy anything.
What's your emergency?
I would like to report the whereabouts
of a fugitive from Philadelphia.
We need to go to the police.
No, I'm not sure it's enough
with everything that they have on me.
And will this even trace back to Brian?
Probably not, if he's covered his tracks.
I should go.
I don't want to get you in trouble.
I'm your dad!
I'd take a bullet for you.
You don't need to go anywhere.
I've changed, Claire.
I realize now what's important in life.
Family.
I stopped going out.
Drinking.
I haven't been with a woman in months.
I'm even in therapy.
Really?
I want to be a better man.
I'm sorry for what I did.
Well, an apology is a good start.
I'm gonna go to sleep.
Ok. Tomorrow, we'll come up with a plan.
Yeah, if I have a tomorrow.
Police! Open up!
Dad!
Ok. I'm going to drive your car out of here real fast
and when I do, they're coming after me
and you're going out that door!
Dad, I can't let you!
Bullet, remember?
Ok, just get ready!
You, take the back.
We're going in!
Let's go!
Go! Go! Go!
Hello?
Mom. It's me.
- Claire! I've been worried sick.
-I'm ok. Are the police there?
-No. But they were, and I've noticed
an unmarked car has driven by several times.
Oh please, just tell me where you are.
I'll come and get you.
I'll, I can take you to Sophia.
She can tell us what to do.
-Not yet.
Please, Claire.
- I have to prove I didn't do this. I love you, mom.
Love you. Be careful, please.
I had nowhere else to go. I hope it's ok that I came here.
Yeah, of course.
Um, you're all over the news.
The police think you killed Margaret.
I know.
Ok. Um, what are you going to do?
Prove that I didn't.
You believe me, right?
Yeah, but how are you going to prove it?
I went to Brian's stepdaughter's place.
He broke in while I was at the house.
What?
I think he killed his other wife.
But then wouldn't he be in prison?
Madison said that no one would believe her.
But, with this new murder, I mean,
maybe they'll reopen the case.
That reminds me. I need to search
the number for Trenton park hospital.
Hi. I'm calling to check on a patient.
Madison Kennedy.
She, uh, was brought in the other day.
Is she ok?
Thanks. I understand.
What did they say?
They can't give out that kind of information on the phone.
Ok, Claire.
I'm saying this for your own good, all right?
I think you should turn yourself in.
Tell the police that Brian's been stalking you.
No.
He will find a way to make them not believe me.
I have a better idea.
There was a ranger at briarwood park
the day that I was with Brian.
Maybe he could vouch for how nice he was to me
and prove that Brian's been lying to the police.
Ok, so, tell the police about the ranger.
They can help you.
Not yet.
Ok. This is spiraling out of control.
I mean, now your dad's in trouble...
How'd you know about my dad?
It was on the news.
Oh.
Claire. I'm just trying to help. You know that, right?
Could you take me to the park?
Yeah, if you think that'll help, sure.
And why don't you borrow some of my clothes?
You had a long night.
Take anything you want, ok?
I have a extra toothbrush in my spare bathroom.
Thanks, Tiffany.
Yeah.
Let's look around.
Did you hear that?
Oh, oh, oh.
Am I ever glad to see you.
I don't hear that every day.
Can I ask you a question?
Dale.
That's what I'm here for.
Do you recognize me from here at the trail?
Yeah. I saw you the other day with your boyfriend, right?
Running? - Yes.
Uh, and why did you think that he was my boyfriend?
Well, you guys looked like a couple.
You were playful.
Even, laughing I think?
Would you be willing to tell the police that?
Can I ask what this is about?
The man that I was with, Brian Coleman,
he told the police that I'm obsessed with him.
And it has to do with a murder.
There's an investigation.
So, what do you have me wrapped up in?
It's complicated.
But he's trying to frame me.
Please.
Well, what I saw is the truth.
So sure, I guess I could talk to the police.
Would you be willing to come with us now?
We could take you to the station.
My shift's not over. But I can go after work.
6th district.
My name is Claire Donahue.
Claire Donahue.
I got it.
Thank you.
Agh!
Sorry, Dale.
But I can't have you talking to the police.
I need to speak with detective Bailey.
Bailey.
Detective. It's Claire Donahue.
- Where are you?
Claire. You need to turn yourself in. Now.
Do it now before you get deeper into trouble.
- I didn't kill Margaret Coleman.
Brian's framing me.
And we can talk about this.
Let me know where you are. I'll come pick you up.
He put spyware on my phone and my computer.
He planted that photo in my house.
- I can help you.
In person.
- How'd you find me last night?
Was it from a tip?
A man called the police, didn't he?
It was Brian!
Before I got to my dad's, he tried to attack me
and his stepdaughter,
a woman named Madison Kennedy.
She's in a hospital in Trenton.
You need to speak with her.
And, also to a ranger at briarwood park.
His name's Dale Mcnichol.
He saw Brian and me together.
I just talked to him.
We'll look into this.
Now, tell me where you are.
She seemed genuine.
Genuinely unhinged.
Can you drop me off?
I'll be back at your house later.
Yeah. It's the safest place for you.
She's staying at my place tonight...
Claire, I just heard on the news.
That ranger was murdered.
What? Are you sure?
Mom, I was just at briarwood park with...
Tiffany.
I gotta call Sophia now. Bye.
Hello?
- Sophia. - Claire?
I need to see you right away. - Ok. Where?
-Meet me at that place we used to meet when we'd skip school.
When?
30 minutes.
Got it.
Can you see if you can find any background on Tiffany?
Sure.
I'll explain when I see you.
Ok.
Thanks.
The dead park ranger is the same one that Claire Donahue
said she talked to this morning.
That's a big coincidence.
I don't think this is a coincidence at all.
It had to be Tiffany.
How else would Brian have known
that I was going to be at the park?
And now the ranger's dead?
So I found out she's originally from Atlanta.
She told us she was from Philly.
She lied.
You know Brian said that he's from Atlanta.
I would bet anything that they know each other.
They do. Her resumé on linked up said
she worked at bistro 470 in Atlanta.
That was Brian's restaurant.
They are in on this together!
They have to be.
Think about it.
Tiffany would've known that I had used
that letter opener at work.
And she's the one that invited me to Galentine's
at Brian's restaurant.
I have totally been played.
Ok, so here's what we're gonna do.
Thanks for helping me.
Yeah.
Sleeping beauty.
Say goodnight, Claire.
What the hell!
Freeze! Drop the gun!
Drop the gun!
You're under arrest for the murder of Margaret Coleman.
You set me up? Why?
I had no other choice. I had to save myself!
On behalf of Philly pd, we're sorry for everything, Claire.
You did what you had to do.
Hey, I would've thought I was guilty too.
Well, we got him.
That's all that matters now.
You're a tough lady.
Thank you for doing what you did tonight.
Here you go, ladies.
I brought you my best bottle.
No, we can't thank you enough, Sophia.
Aw, well, a toast is in order.
Ah yes!
I just got off the phone with detective Sanders.
Brian has officially been charged with two murders...
And now that Madison is talking to the police,
they're going to re-open her mom's death, too.
Amazing!
Yeah.
You are a true friend, Sophia.
Unlike some people we know.
Uh, do not mention that woman's name.
Hmm, not even to tell you that she's officially been charged
with accessory to murder?
Well, that would be ok.
Mm mm hm.
The deal she made to turn on Brian will help her,
but it doesn't exonerate her.
Did she say why she chose me to carry out the plan?
She told the police that after learning about your history,
she figured you'd make a perfect patsy.
Wow.
Yeah.
Get this.
She also worked in Trenton.
Odds are good that she was in on Brian's other plan.
I wonder who that is.
Uh, I'll get it. - Ok.
Hope she likes the surprise.
Mick!
Anna.
I thought you ladies might be hungry.
Yeah. Come on in.
Pizza's here!
Well, I am starving.
Hey, well, let's eat.
Ok.
Oh, do you wanna get the placemats?
