Previously on Angela's Eyes...
So can you tell when everyone lies?
I can.
My parents are calling in Lydia
the two biggest traitors
in the history of our country.
Hear from your brother lately?
Not since Christmas when he stole $6,000
from me.
Is it true you work for the F.B.I.?
Come on,Dad,I'm not here for a social call.
I'm trying to connect with my daughter.
This is the Anderson family time capsule.
We're gonna bury it here next to this tree.
Marked with a Y.
I'm Missy Banders of On The Spot.
Join me this Sunday at 6:00 p.m.
for an explosive story of backroom deal-making,
illicit trade-offs,and outright corruption.
Someone has it in for this news anchor,Missy Banders.
She's received two death threats in the past two days.
Both of them came through the mail,which makes it federal.
She's so hot.
What does PD have so far?
They think it's some overzealous fan or a stalker.
Well,didn't the locals have a Missy Banders stalker case
about a year ago?
Yeah,that's right. Meet Barah Norwood.
He was convicted on misdemeanor harassment.
He's been meeting with his P.O. weekly until two weeks ago
when he stopped showing up.
He moved out of his apartment and failed to provide
a forwarding address.
Great timing--my best friend from college is getting married,
and I'm in the wedding. Savannah Miller?
The hot one from the rich society family? Mm-hmm.
I passed her the salt once in the freshmen dorm dining room.
I'm sure she won't forget it.
I'm gonna go check in with Gene.
Mm-hmm.
Dozer,uh...
Can you do me a favor?
Will you find Jerry for me?
Your brother,Jerry? Yes.
Last time I saw him was Christmas
when he stole $6,000 from me and disappeared.
What's family for,right?
Hmm.
Yeah,no problem.
There's not a person on the planet
I can't pinpoint to within a few feet.
Because there's no getting around the realities of life
in the modern age.
Everybody's in the system somewhere.
This is personal.
So it's just between you and me,understand?
Oh great,now you're dragging me into your crazy family.
(Leo) What's going on?
[Angela clears throat]
Nothing. Just,uh--
Just old stories. Yeah.
Are you ready?
Yeah.
I want this freak caught,you understand me?
Sick jerk.
He wants to threaten me,I'll have him chewed into dog meat.
Do you think it's your old stalker,Barry Norwood?
(Missy) He's too stupid.
He always signed his name.
Why does the threat say,"Stop what you're doing to me"?
This Sunday,Missy is anchoring the nightly newscast.
I'm blowing the lid off a prominent city figure
who's the connection point for organized crime,
businessmen,and politicians.
You think this is the guy who's sending the threats.
Yeah,who is he?
Watch the show Sunday. Then you'll know.
Excuse me?
If it gets out that you're investigating him
about these threats,
the other networks will jump in.
There goes our exclusive.
Why the hell are we here?
That's what I keep asking.
We've been through this,Missy.
Legally,I have to report the threats.
(Missy) And legally,I don't have to tell you anything
about the specifics of my story.
Okay.
think we've covered everything.
America's sweetheart,huh?
And for her,my weekend is blown up.
(Bell) I'm sorry.
Missy can get abrasive when she's tense.
Something tells me she's abrasive when she's calm too.
You think this threat is about Sunday night's story,don't you?
I could see your ambivalence in there.
Look.
Missy would flip if I revealed the subject of the story.
Would you rather watch a rival anchor reporting her murder
a few days from now?
This guy has people in his pocket
on both sides of the law.
That's why they call him "The Fixer."
Jack Stillman?
Heavy name.
Now you know why I'm so nervous.
Okay,we'll get into it.
nald Bell is lying.
I'm just not sure about what. I'm with you on that.
www.1000fr.com present capture:xxyˇ˘lanmaoˇ˘QQ sync:FRM@8754 welcome to www.1000fr.com
Jack Stillman.
He's a freelance consultant,
which means he does everything and nothing,
for everybody and nobody.
The IRS says he made $16 million last year,
working for media companies,
corporations,politicians.
And the occasional crime figure. That's right.
Dozer and I are going uptown tonight,
see what we can find out about him.
As for our stalker,
I've got an electronic search in for Barry Norwood.
I'll have feedback in the morning.
Hey,maybe I should go with you guys.
Angela,we got it covered,all right?
Go to your rehearsal dinner.
'll call you if anything goes down.
Okay.
You know,but I'll be reachable the whole time,
if you need me.
What?
Are you bringing the new guy to the dinner?
His name is Peter and,yes,he's coming with me.
Is that okay with you,Dozer?
Yes,it is.
Oh,well,good.
I'm glad we've established that.
Savannah is my best friend from college.
She's from a prominent family,but totally down-to-earth.
What about the groom?
[hesitating] Charles Amster?
I don't know. I haven't met him yet.
He and Savannah hooked up on a cruise four months ago.
It was instant love.
And then they were engaged after seven weeks,
and boom,here we are.
That's a little impetuous,isn't it?
I think it's romantic.
Huh.
Interesting that
under your tough exterior lies the heart of a woman
who really does believe in "happily ever after."
Is--is my exterior that tough?
rong words.rry. That's the
I'm just-- I'm just happy for Savannah.
No,I know,I know. I get it,I'm sorry.
About my friends...
Um...
They think that I work a clerical job for the bureau.
And that my...
mom and dad died on that jet that crashed
into the Everglades in '94,and I grew up on a horse farm
in Birmingham,Alabama.
Are you disappointed?
No,I guess I,uh--
I just never thought about this part of it.
I know.
Hmm,I know my history isn't...
pretty,like a lot of other girls.
I love your history.
And I love the fact that you
are not like other girls.
Here we go.
Jack Stillman, The Fixer.
Man,he even looks powerful.
And rich.
I'm thinking I might start a consulting business.
Oh,yeah,Dozer,I could see that happening.
Really? Oh.
Oh,my God. I am so happy!
Angela? Angela Henson?
Hi. She made it.
Okay,Savannah,Lucy,Jolie.
This is Peter Wagner.
So,he's real. Hi.
Hi. Peter.
I'm Peter. Congratulations. Hi.
[giggling]
(Savannah) Oh God,don't pay any attention to us.
Sorry,it's just you're the first "Angela's guy"
that we've met since college?
'Course we'd probably have to see
Angela more than once a year
to become familiar with her boyfriends.
(Savannah) Right.
Oh,well it's been since--
Since you got pregnant,Jolie.
(Savannah) Angela.
Angela.
This is Charles.
(Charles) Hi!
It's an absolute pleasure to meet you finally.
Congratulations. Thank you.
Yeah,hi. How are you?
Peter. Charles,yeah.
You know,Savannah speaks of you often.
But,uh,no, I must admit
that although I feel I know you,
you're also a complete
enigma to me.
Wow,what a nice,
but strange thing to say.
So what do you think about this guy Angela's seeing?
You're the one that went to college with her.
I'm on a need-to-know basis.
That's just 'cause you're Gene's guy.
Gene's guy?
Is that what she thinks?
That I'm Gene's guy?
I'm here,killing myself to make this partnership work,
and she thinks I'm Gene's guy.
[cell phone rings]
Jenkins.
Got it. We'll be right there.
(Charles) I run an Internet company.
(Angela) Hmm.
We maintain five sites dedicated to politics,
technology,fashion,cars,and travel.
Uh,not really.
See,the genius of it is
we cull from various online publications
from around the world and encourage dedicated readers
to submit e-mailed items.
Oh,and here's a secret for you
that I haven't even told Savannah yet.
I only have one editor per site.
One.
Yeah,well,that's all it takes.
Mm-hmm. Heh heh.
As long as it keeps the money rolling in.
Well,what can I say?
I'm living the dream.
(Peter) There you are.
Hi. Hi.
Hey,Charles. Hey,Peter.
I was just boring your lovely lady with mundane details
of my professional life.
Oh,I'm sure she was enthralled.
Can I,uh,grab her for a second?
Is everything okay?
Yeah,everything is great.
I just,um,needed a...
moment alone with you.
Hi. Hi.
Oh,I needed that,too.
Especially after ten minutes with Charles.
He's a good guy,isn't he?
I don't trust him.
[laughter]
(Angela) So,uh,my first night in the freshmen dorm,
I couldn't sleep.
Because of the raging party going on next door.
[laughter]
So I went over to complain.
Met Savannah.
Stayed until 4:00 a.m.
and missed three of my classes the next day.
[laughter]
From that moment on,
I knew that we would be best friends.
Congratulations,sweetie.
(all) Cheers!
What's going on?
He's taller than I thought,
given his bio.
[nervous laugh]
What are you two doing here?
Missy Banders.
She received another death threat.
Hi.
I have to go.
Okay.
No,no,no. You stay.
Please,if you don't mind.
I think it'd be better than both of us leaving
before the appetizer.
I'll try to make it back.
But if not,I'll see you at my place later.
Um,please explain it to them.
Uh,be safe. Thanks.
(Missy) This isn't just a letter in the mail.
Someone got past security
Typically,in stalker cases,violent threats indicate
a disposition towards violent actions.
What are you people doing about this?
In the past ten hours since we've been on the case,
we've begun a search for Barry Norwood,
your former stalker.
We're investigating other leads.
And our surveillance on Jack Stillman has turned up nothing.
Jack Stillman?
Where did you get that name?
If you violated my rights,
I will sue you.
Miss Banders,we're here to help you.
Why are you so calm?
Now,Missy,just wait a minute.
It was you,wasn't it?
You told them about Stillman?
I am just trying to protect you. You are out of line.
Now,Missy,listen to me. Don't let your fear get a hold of you.
I had to call these people.
I can't believe you opened your big,fat mouth yet again.
Would you listen to me for a second?
There was no choice,but to call these people. Oh,please.
Are you two together?
Of course not. So,what if we are?
My wife doesn't know.
I'm gonna tell her right after this story airs.
I'm sure she'll be thrilled.
I'm asking you,please,to not reveal this to her.
I'm not here to police the office affairs
of network personnel.
Just to make sure they stay alive long enough to have them.
We checked with Barry Norwood's P.O.
He missed his last few appointments.
He may be out stalking Missy.
All the more reason to find him.
I researched a rumor that Jack Stillman
rigged last year's mayoral election
with the help of the Russian mafia.
It could be that Missy Banders has evidence
of election tampering.
This guy sounds like a prince.
Hey,can we get a make on that knife and doll
that was sent to Missy?
Maybe it'll track back to something worthwhile.
Yeah,and let's check out Donald Bell's wife,Erika.
But Donald said that she doesn't know about the affair.
You believe him?
Good point.
(Angela) Hey.
What do you got on Jerry?
Hm mm hm hm.
Okay,uh,December 25th,
your brother paid cash
for a one-way ticket to Kuala Lumpur.
And?
(Dozer) The--
The trail ends.
I--I can't find him in any database.
There's no credit card purchases.
No passport activity. Hmm.
No airline or hotel reservations.
This has never happened to me before.
It's okay,Dozer. It's not your fault.
I feel like such a loser.
Relax,you're probably just stressed out.
I don't get stressed out. Not about this stuff.
It's all right.
It happens to everybody eventually.
Really?
Have you experienced this with any of the other tech analysts?
Not really.
[under breath] Not really.
Couldn't...you have lied to me about it?
Just to...spare my feelings?
Peter?
Peter.
Peter?
[door opens] [gasps]
Hi.
Are you just getting back? Mm-hmm.
It,uh--
Just wouldn't end.
Lucy,right? Lucy?
She hooked up with a bartender.
And Jolie,um,
danced on a table.
And I,I drank four--
single malts with Charles,
who I swear has a hollow leg.
Hi.
Wow.
Do you think Charles has a drinking problem?
He was celebrating.
There's just something off about that guy.
I think Savannah is rushing into this wedding.
You're the one who said it was romantic.
Well,I've changed my mind.
Why? 'Cause he's a bad guy?
That strikes me as a bit paranoid.
It strikes me as realistic.
Are you in work mode?
Okay. All right.
I get it.
You're frustrated because work took you away
from an event that you were looking forward to.
No,not just that.
And,and,and.
I went out,and I got really soused
with your college friends.
And the groom.
One of whom,
you suspect could be
the Love Burglar.
Ooh. And down.
[giggles] Oh.
Mm-hmm. [giggles]
(Angela) Jerry's in town.
That's not possible.
I've got a worldwide scan in progress.
There's no way he's gotten back into the U.S.
without my knowing. Yes,he has.
He's not here,Angela.
I'm telling you,Jerry was in my apartment last night.
(Leo) Jerry's in town?
So that's what all the whispering's about.
This is a family issue,Leo.
And you wanna keep your personal life personal.
Right. Right.
So,it's not about,uh,lack of trust.
It's not because Gene put me on the team.
I see how it is. No,wait.
Leo.
I couldn't ask for a better partner.
I'm just...
worried about my brother.
Yeah,okay,well,if you need anything,just let me know.
[phone rings]
Private caller? Nobody has this number.
Hello.
Sure,hold on a sec.
It's Jack Stillman.
(Angela) Who told you that?
I know everything that happens in this city,Special Agent.
Including the fact that two of your associates
were parked across the street
from my apartment last night.
I'd like to speak with you and your partner.
Mr. Stillman.
We're investigating death threats sent to Missy Banders.
I'm sure you are.
They're promoting it like the Second Coming.
You gotta be kidding me.
So what does this have to do with me?
You're the subject of her story.
So?
So,maybe you're the guy behind the threats.
That's absurd.
You don't care about negative publicity?
Only because there's no such thing as negative publicity.
And Missy Banders is a parasite.
If I simply wanted her fired,it would take but one phone call.
If you are interested in who is sending the death threats,
you just let me know,and I'll find out for you.
We'll keep you posted. Great.
Let's go.
(Dozer) Donald's wife,Erika, leads what we call,
a life of leisure.
Lunch at Sympatico's, mani-pedi at the salon,
and then it's off to Beekman Avenue.
So she went shopping.
Huh,ye of little faith.
(Dozer) This is a Lakely doll.
It's considered to be somewhat of a collector's item,
if you're into such things.
Son of a-- Gun.
(Leo) Same make as the one pinned to Missy's dressing room mirror.
Looks like we're going uptown.
(Erika) I've been expecting you.
Why is that?
My husband's mistress is receiving death threats.
It's only natural you'd want to investigate me.
[whispers] Guess we don't have to let that cat out the bag.
Donald and I have been married for 16 years.
We're not capable of having children.
So it's just the two of us.
Under the circumstances,
a loving spouse is entitled to his dalliances,
if discreet.
How do you know they're only dalliances?
Donald would never leave me. It's my money.
And it stays with me in the event of divorce.
He grew up poor.
He's not going back to that side of town.
You remember being in this store yesterday?
Of course.
They sell the Lakely line of dolls.
And I collect them-- I have since I was a child.
It was a Lakely doll that was sent to Missy Banders
with a knife through its stomach.
My passion for the Lakely dolls
doesn't prove I'm guilty of anything other than indulging
an old hobby. Quite a coincidence,isn't it?
Well,I hope you're not suggesting
anything reckless,Mr. Jenkins.
Because I can assure you,
I will protect myself against such an aggression.
Now,
if you'll excuse me,I'm late for lunch.
I can tell you where,
or you can just follow me.
(Angela) I'm sorry I'm missing the party.
Are you gonna make it?
Maybe by 11:00. By 11:00?
These are your friends,Angela.
And I just spent more time with them in the last two days
than you have in the past three years.
Okay,look. I know how you must feel.
And I don't blame you,but if I can't be there,
at least you can represent me.
So that's what I am?
I'm a representative?
I'll get there as soon as possible.
Okay.
At least I can hang out with Charles.
He knows how to have a good time.
All right. I deserve that.
We'll talk later,okay?
Okay,bye. Bye.
[crashing down stairs]
Whoa,whoa!
Are you okay? Yeah.
Come here.
Come here. Come here.
Whoa.
That was a full flight of stairs.
I'm gonna need another scotch to shake that off.
I don't think you need another scotch.
I found Barry Norwood.
Clear.
(Dozer) How?
You telling me he doesn't have an alarm system
to protect this palace?
it gotta be something here
(Dozer) Hey,listen to this.
Barry has been following Missy for months,
and in here,he fantasizes about their future together
with his mom and his dad,
and their cabin in the Poconos.
[door creaks]
(Angela) Does anything about this bother you?
(Leo) Yeah,Barry doesn't seem like the kind of guy
who wants to hurt Missy Banders.
And stalkers who threaten violence
are disposed to act violently.
And stalkers who want to live in log cabins
with Mommy and Daddy don't make violent threats.
(Peter) H-h-how can that be?
I just lost my wallet last night.
All right. Um,thank you.
Thanks.
Ten grand.
Each credit card maxed out.
Somebody went on a rampage.
I'm so sorry.
Um,was your wallet lost?
Or,or,stolen?
I don't know.
Things got a little fuzzy.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
What?
You're not still
suspicious of him,are you?
His name isn't Charles. It's Henry Foreman.
He was convicted of mail fraud
and spent four years in federal prison.
And when he got out,he changed his name.
And then six months later, he met Savannah.
You checked him out?
It was a Ponzi scheme. He stole $900,000.
Angela,that's none of your business.
But he's marrying into a family worth millions of dollars.
You have got to learn to separate your work life
from your personal life.
But don't you think Savannah should know about this?
You don't know the truth about their relationship.
[phone ringing]
Go ahead.
Yeah.
Okay. I'll be there.
We ran the knife.
It's top of the line cutlery.
It's a special carving knife,
manufactured by a celebrity chef by the name of Manny Rogers.
Each knife is so unique
that it comes with a lifetime guarantee.
And also an individual serial number on the blade.
Traceable back to the buyer,which in this case
is Erika Bell.
So Barry Norwood's not our guy.
(Dozer) And there's our Missy now.
(Missy) I'm Missy Banders of On The Spot.
Join me this Sunday at 6:00 p.m. for an explosive story
of backroom deal-making,
illicit trade-offs,and outright corruption.
The contents of this broadcast
are so explosive that I'm receiving death threats.
They're promoting it like the Second Coming.
If it gets out that you're investigating him
about these threats,there goes our exclusive.
Are you two together?
?????????
It was a brilliant plan.
You were seeking a way to sensationalize tonight's story
to drive up the ratings and make Missy
the star of the network. That's absurd.
Is it?
You knew we would never be able to track a doll,
but you didn't know we'd be able to track
the knife to your house.
(Angela) You wanted us to think
Jack Stillman was sending the death threats.
But it's the two of you.
And this is the extent of your investigative abilities?
I'm gonna do my next story
on the incompetents
they're letting into the FBI now.
You represent everything that's wrong with media today.
You're driven by arrogance
and hubris.
And you don't care whose lives you destroy
in the hunt for ratings.
You have no proof.
But I know.
And it won't take me more than a few days to gather the evidence.
(Leo) Angela.
Hey.
That's a pretty serious reaction you had up in there.
You wanna talk to me about it?
After my parents' arrest,
the media circus went on for years.
Jerry,me--
We were chewed up and spit out by these people.
I'm sorry about that.
Thank you.
Go. Get to your wedding.
And I just knew,you know,
the second I saw him on that cruise.
Has that ever happened to you when you meet somebody,
and you can just see right into them?
Hmm,a few times.
And we're gonna try for babies right away.
And we're moving to Bermuda.
'Cause it's better for the taxes
for the new company that Charles is starting.
What new company?
With my trust fund and Charles' expertise,
we are going to be unbeatable.
You're giving him your trust fund?
Oh,I'm not giving him anything.
It's ours now.
I kinda thought you'd be happy for me.
[nervous laugh] I am.
But Savannah...
Charles isn't who he says he is.
Um...
Charles spent time in jail
under his original name.
Because he stole almost a million dollars from investors.
Charles isn't even...Charles.
Did you think I didn't know all this?
Charles told me about his past
right after we got together.
Well,then why are you marr-- Because I love him.
And he loves me.
And because everybody deserves a second chance,
don't you think,Angela?
Especially when it comes to love.
Savannah.
People who have lied in the past lie in the present.
And they will lie in the future,too.
Like you?
Angela,you skipped out on my rehearsal dinner.
You missed my bachelorette party,and you haven't shown up
for a single bridesmaid activity all day.
Do you really expect me to believe that your job as a clerk
inside the FBI is so important?
More important than my wedding?
And you come here and drop
this bomb in my lap,30 minutes before the ceremony?
Do you think you're being a good friend?
No,you're right. You're right.
I owe you an explanation and an apology.
But...Savannah--
[whispers] Please.
You should not marry this man.
This is my wedding day.
This is not the time to hash this out.
I have to fix my makeup.
(minister) Charles and Savannah.
Tend to your relationship like a garden
seeded with love,
watered with respect
and nurtured with care.
And when you have children,
love them too, with all your souls.
For that is our very purpose in life.
Our reason for being.
To love and be loved.
Now,on behalf of Charles and Savannah,
I'd like to thank everyone for attending...
On this day,we take--
We--
(Angela) You're pregnant,aren't you?
What does that have to do with anything?
You're pressuring Donald to leave his wife,
because you're having his child.
Do you think Erika knows about this?
She might by now, and if she does,
I think you're in danger.
Missy,you have to listen to me.
Bad idea.
Drop the gun. Drop it.
Bad move.
Come here.
You were gonna kill me?
I didn't want this,Missy.
But Erika never would've stood by while you had my child.
[breathing heavily]
Erika would've been humiliated.
Taken it out on Donald.
Setting you up for your own murder.
And then he would've pinned it on Erika
and be left with her money.
I owe you an apology.
Don't worry about it.
Quite a lie detector you have there.
Mm hm hm.
It must be fun dating a girl like you.
Oh,no. Oh,God.
Don't worry about me.
I'll catch a cab.
I am so sorry.
It's this case.
I figured it out while I was standing up there. Angela.
It doesn't matter.
I know you had a really tragic upbringing.
But even considering how complicated you are,
you went too far.
This is too much.
Peter.
You know,these women here,
they are your best friends.
And they have no idea
who you really are.
You have this thing about liars,Angela.
And yet,you lie more than anyone I know.
The irony is not lost on me.
Maybe you should give people a chance
to know who you are.
Great.
I'll change.
No more hiding the truth about my parents.
It's not just that.
You value your work
more than anything else in your life.
Why would I want to sign up for that?
Peter,please.
Please don't give up on me.
I thought I could do this.
But I can't.
I'm sorry.
Peter.
Doesn't everybody deserve a second chance?
Hiya,sis.
Well.
Isn't this the perfect end to my day?
I heard you were looking for me,I...
What's wrong?
$6,000. You disappearing.
Sneaking in and out of my apartment.
You want a list?
No,I mean,what's wrong?
I'm just...
broken.
Jerry.
No,you're not,Angela--
Just-- The evidence suggests otherwise.
Come on,sis.
The guy's a loser.
A real nobody going nowhere.
I liked him,Jerry.
We're a different breed,you and me,Angela.
Regular people,they're never gonna get us.
You ran up his credit cards,didn't you?
You're gonna have to pay that back.
Angela.
You know,I'm the only person on this planet
who really knows you.
And you,me.
Don't doubt yourself.
You know,if some guy can't see
how amazingly off the charts you are,
then put him to the curb and keep looking.
Where the hell have you been?
[laughing] Here,there.
It doesn't really matter.
Stop spinning me,Jerry.
Where's the box?
Box? The box.
The Anderson Family time capsule.
Oh,you mean that thing that we buried with Mom and Dad
when we were kids on the camping trip?
Yes,the thing that you dug up the other night
about ten minutes before I got there.
[laughs]
I don't know what you're talking about.
I can tell when you're lying.
Want some pie?
