[Horns honking]
- [Kate]: Life has a cruel way of reminding you
that just when you think you've hit rock bottom,
there's always a lower level you can fall to.
That's it! Great, great! Keep running to Mom!
Nice!
Ah, yeah! That's great!
Beautiful! You have lovely children!
[Dog barking in distance]
[Sighing]
Big day tomorrow?
- Oh, I think it's mostly theatre, at this point.
I put a witness on the stand late today
that pretty much destroyed the prosecution's case.
[Sighing]
- Mmm. Look at this one.
- Oh, that's great!
- Hmm. I had a little help from Mother Nature.
- Yeah, uh-huh. Don't sell yourself short.
You got a gift for this, especially with the kids.
- He was sweet and he was congratulating me,
saying: "Oh, you have a real gift with children."
It was a nice thing to say.
He didn't mean to hurt me,
but, you know, it really did hurt.
I mean, we haven't talked about kids for months.
And that girl still works in his office.
He sees her every day.
He sees her more than he sees me.
He doesn't seem to care how that makes me feel.
- Do you still believe in the marriage, Kate?
- I'd like to.
'Cause otherwise, what's--what's the point?
All those years, all that effort,
all that hard work, for what?
I feel exhausted just thinking about it.
- Are you sleeping well?
- Yeah. I wake up in a fog, but yeah.
- Well, I have something that could take care of that.
- Could I just maybe stop the WellTab?
I'd really rather do fewer drugs, not more.
- Kate, you have to trust me.
Now, we're going to get it right, eventually.
- I'm standing at the court house where Mr. Markovic...
[Reporters clamouring]
- Sorry, guys.
- [Man on radio]: ...a clerk at the bathhouse
said Mr. Markovic was there on the afternoon of the murder...
- Do you believe that? They let Markovic off.
- Yeah, he must have had a good lawyer.
[Cab driver scoffing]
- Where to, pal?
[Applause]
- Wow, um, I'm gonna burst into tears!
[All laughing]
- Good job, Jack, good job!
- Thanks.
Ah, thanks. Thank you.
[Jack]: Hello!
- Hey!
- A little bubbly from the partners?
- You're all over the news. Congratulations.
[Sighing]
- Hey, come on.
Could you be a little happier for me?
- I could be happier for you if I saw you more.
- We just had this conversation.
I would rather I were working for the good guys too,
but guess what?
The good guys lost.
- You used to be one of the good guys.
[Cork popping]
- I'll tell you what:
Give me 3 or 4 months to make partner,
and I promise I will shake things up and make you proud.
Please.
- You have beautiful children!
You really have beautiful...
You have such delightful children!
[Breathing deeply]
- It's for my husband's birthday.
It's a surprise.
I told the children not to say anything, huh?
- Well, your secret's safe with me!
[Woman laughing]
- Come on, darlings.
- You know what? Yeah, scooch in.
Let's do one just for light.
[Chuckling]
[Inhaling sharply]
- [Woman]: Are you all right?
[Breathing heavily]
Let me get you a glass of water.
- No, I'm fine. It'll pass.
- Should I call for help?
- No.
I'm so sorry. I am gonna need to reschedule.
- Hello!
[Jack in distance]: Kate?
Honey?
Kate?
[Exhaling]
[Sighing]
You scared me.
[Inhaling deeply]
I'll be downstairs.
[Exhaling deeply]
[Footsteps approaching]
Hey! - Hey!
- You OK? - Yeah, I'm fine.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
What's that?
- Ah!
Anton Markovic sent it over.
He wants to buy me one for Christmas.
Um, I just have to choose a colour.
- Wow, doesn't that seem a little morally ambiguous
to accept a gift from a client?
- He was facing first-degree murder.
I got him off.
Where's the ambiguity?
- I don't know, Jack.
Is this really why you went to law school,
to defend people like Anton Markovic?
- I spent 2 years with Legal Aid and 3 more with the ACLU.
I think I've done my bit for society.
- Yeah. I just miss the people we used to be.
[Water splashing]
[Toilet flushing]
- So, how have you been?
- Good, actually! Yeah. Less foggy.
- Hmm.
- I had a cup of coffee this morning,
and, I don't know, I really tasted it,
really felt the warmth in my hands.
It was nice.
- Well, it sounds like we finally
hit on the right medications for you.
- Yep! Yep, definitely.
- So, how are things with Jack?
- I feel like I'm finally starting to understand
what you've been saying all this time,
that you can't, um, change people,
that you can only change your reactions to them, right?
- Mmm. And how does that make you feel?
- Good.
Like I have a choice.
- Hi!
- Oh, hi!
- I'm sorry I'm late.
- No, it's fine!
I haven't even thought about dinner.
Uh, takeout OK?
[Jack scoffing]
- Yeah, fine.
- Uh, Italian?
- Yes, please!
This is for you.
W-what is that?
- Um... - Sweetheart?
- Uh, according to this letter,
I have a twin.
- What?
- "In the late 1970s, adoption agencies in New York
"were approached to deliberately separate identical twins
"as part of a research project."
"We are writing to inform you
"that you were part of that experiment
"and that your twin sister has been in contact with this office
"asking to be put in touch with you."
- A twin sister?
- Here, listen to this:
"The program was designed to study child development
"among twins who'd been raised in different homes
"to determine the influence of both genes and environment
"on everything from personality traits to character
"and even to the propensity to fall in love."
I mean, you understand, she's my clone, right?
She has 100% of my DNA.
Fraternal twins just share 50%.
- This is fascinating:
"Twin girls, both raised apart,
"both met their husbands at 16, both drank coffee cold
"and both were morbidly afraid of heights."
- There's another one here:
"Male twins, also reared apart.
"They both chain smoked Salems,
"both had woodworking shops in their garages,
"both drove Chevys, both served as sheriff's deputies."
I mean, I--I don't know what to make of all of this. I--
- Well, I--I don't know if it's frightening,
but it's--it's kind of exciting, no?
I mean, you have family out there.
You're not as alone as you thought you were.
- I wonder what kind of life she's had.
I wonder if we're connected, you know, in some crazy ways
like--like these twins.
- Maybe. And think of what you've both been through.
Who's gonna understand you better than your own twin?
- I guess it's exciting.
[Chuckling]
- It says she lives in Buffalo. That's a 7-hour drive.
Why don't you ask her to come by this week?
- Here, to the house? No way. I'm not comfortable with that.
- OK. How about my office?
By 8:00, we got the place to ourselves.
And if she seems nice, we can take her to dinner.
- Doesn't that seem like an online-dating ploy,
for, like, keeping your options open?
- Well, exactly. If you're not comfortable, we can bail.
- Seriously?
- Yeah. They gave you her cell number.
If you're not comfortable talking to her,
and I wouldn't blame you, text her.
8:00, Thursday, my office.
See if she's game.
[Sighing]
- Hey, she texted.
- Hmm?
- She texted.
- Oh!
"Thursday at 8:00 is perfect.
"Thank you for agreeing to this.
"I am really looking forward to meeting you."
That's great!
- Hmm.- Huh?
- I don't know.
I don't know if I can go through with this.
- This must be scary as hell,
but I'm gonna be with you every step of the way, OK?
- Mm-hmm.
Can I ask you something?
- Name it.
- Can you not tell anyone about this,
just until I've met her?
- You got it.
[Birds chirping]
[Sighing]
Where have you been? You were supposed to get here early.
- Oh, you must be Jack.
- I--I beg your pardon. I thought...
- Yeah, no, the guard downstairs called me Mrs. McLennan.
- I can see why.
- We look that much alike?
- Yes, absolutely. Um, uh...
I apologize for staring. It's--it's uncanny.
- No, it's fine. I'm a little freaked out myself.
- Um... - So, where is she?
- She should be here, uh, soon.
I'm gonna call her.
- OK. Well, it's nice to meet you, Jack.
- Nice to meet you too, Linda.
Would you, uh... Can I offer you a drink?
- Definitely!
- OK, this way.
- Nice!
Thank you.
- So, what will you have?
- Uh, vodka rocks.
What?
- That's what Kate drinks.
- I feel like I'm in trouble.
[Chuckling]
- Meeting here was my idea. I thought--
- Oh, no, no, no. Don't--don't explain.
Thank you.
- You're welcome.
[Both sighing]
Uh, let me, uh, call Kate.
- OK!
[Line ringing]
- [Kate on recording]: Hi, this is Kate McLennan.
Please leave a message.
- So, Buffalo?- Mm-hmm.
- What do you do in Buffalo?
- Uh, mostly temp work.
You know, I wanted to paint, but it doesn't pay the bills, so...
- Oh, a painter?
That's interesting, 'cause, uh, Kate's a photographer.
Did she tell you that?
- No.- No?
- We never talked.
She just sent that one text.
- Right. Um...
She's a very good photographer.
Some of her pictures actually look like paintings.
- Oh!
- Yeah.
[Sighing]
- Maybe she got cold feet.
I almost didn't come.
I really... Yeah, my-- Still shaking.
[Chuckling]
You know, when I heard I had a sister,
well, not just a sister, a twin,
I really, really could not believe that.
I mean, I've been alone my whole life.
- I said the same thing!
It must be amazing to find you're not alone.
- Yeah. - Right, yeah?
- I wonder if she'll like me.
- Why wouldn't she like you?
- Really? Why should she? She doesn't know me.
Just 'cause we're sisters, doesn't mean we'll get along.
- Oh.
Um...
I'm gonna try her again.
- OK!- OK.
- Hi, this is Kate McLennan. Please leave a message.
- Where are you? We're waiting.
Can you call me please, at least?
She's not picking up. I'm--I'm sorry. Um...
- You keep apologizing.
I think I'm the one who should apologize.
- Not at all. - I'm gonna go.
- Linda, um...
- No, I think this was a mistake.
I, uh... Yeah, I shouldn't have done this.
Thanks.
[Door opening]
- Please don't say anything.
[Sighing]
- I thought we had a plan.
- Yeah, we did. We did have a plan.
I just couldn't go through with it.
I drove all the way to your office and turned around
and came all the way home.
I didn't want to meet her. I don't want to have a sister.
- It was spooky. You're almost identical.
She walked into the office, and I thought she was you.
- Really?
- Yeah.
She was very pleasant. Nervous, though.
Her hands were shaking.
I was a little nervous myself.
- What does she do?
- She's a temp.
She said she wanted to be a painter,
but it never panned out.
- What else? What else-- what else did you talk about?
- Not much, when she realized you weren't coming.
- I'm an idiot!
[Laughing]
I should have gone.
[Sighing]
I'm sorry.
- I'm sure she's still in town.
- Oh, I don't know. I don't know what to do.
I don't know why she scares me so much.
I think I'm afraid
I'm gonna see something about myself I don't like.
[Sighing]
- Sweetheart, whatever works for you, works for me, OK?
If you want to meet her, great.
If you decide you want nothing to do with her,
she doesn't exist, OK?
- Thank you.
[Sighing]
- [Woman on intercom]: Your wife's on Line 2.
- Ok, thanks.
Hi, hon.
- I called.
- You called Linda?
- I just pulled up outside her motel, here in, uh, Dorchester.
- Oh, OK, I can be there in half an hour.
- No. I'm a big girl. I can do this on my own.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah. I'm already here.
OK, don't worry.
I'll see you back at home.
- OK, good luck. Love you.
How did it go?
Kate?
- There were these weird things she told me,
like, she said she used to have these incredibly vivid dreams
about a missing sister.
- A twin?
- No, not a twin. I mean, that would have been too weird.
But she said, you know, she would wake up
with this real feeling of panic that was powerful.
- Didn't we read about twins that would have the same dream?
- Yeah, yeah.
And do you remember how I used to do that thing
where I'd be out in a park or a store,
I'd see an older woman--
- And something about her would remind you of you.
- It happens to her all the time.
She's always seeing an older woman and thinking:
"Are you my mother? Are you?"
- Yeah, I bet every adopted kid does that, right?
I mean, I-I'm sure I'd do it if I were adopted.
- I didn't have a good feeling about her, Jack.
I didn't.
The way she talked, the way she got in my face...
And the drinking... I mean, she had 3 vodkas to my one.
- Really?
- You know what's crazy?
I feel disappointed.
I really do.
I keep thinking about what you said,
about how she of all people
would understand what I've been through
'cause maybe she'd been through something similar,
but I didn't feel any sense of connection to her at all.
I mean, we're sitting there, in this bar,
and I can see people looking and smiling,
and, like: "Oh, twins, so cute!"
I felt uncomfortable.
- Honey, I--
- No, I--I... You know what?
I don't know why you thought she was pleasant.
I felt really, like, suffocated by her.
- I-I'm sorry it went so badly.
- Oh, it's not your fault.
I mean, you've been nothing but supportive.
- How did you leave it?
- Vague.
Like, "I'll call," but I won't.
I have no intention of calling.
You know, when I said I had to get home, she got really creepy.
Said something like:
"Go home -- that's so nice -- to your lovely husband."
It was weird.
Promise me we won't tell anyone about this.
- Yeah, I promise, I promise.
- It's so odd!
I mean, she's so like me
and so not like me.
It really does make you wonder
how we become the people we become.

- [Woman on intercom]: Your wife's on Line 1.
- OK, thank you.
Hey, hon!
- Hey! Am I catching you at a bad time?
- Linda?
- You're good! How could you tell?
- Uh, what can I do for you?
- Uh, well, I feel like Kate and I got off on the wrong foot.
- Yeah, I heard.
- Yeah, I'd, uh, I'd really like to make it right.
Could you make a little time for me?
- You're--you're still in town?
- Yeah, I don't give up that easy. Could we meet for a drink?
- Uh, I don't--I don't think that's a good idea.
- Jack, please. I mean, I really need your help.
I just want a chance to make it right.
[Sighing]
- Look, Kate and I are very private people.
It's nothing personal,
but she doesn't want to pursue this relationship,
and I have to respect her wishes.
I'm--I'm really sorry. Take care.
[Horn honking in distance]
[Cell ringing]
Hello?
- Jack, hey! Me again.
- H-how did you get this number?
- Five minutes. Will you just give me 5 minutes?
[Jack and Linda laughing]
What?
- Uh...
It's, uh, it's uncanny.
The way you look, the way you sound.
- Hmm. Will you help me, Jack?
- Please don't put me on the spot.
If this is about money,
then maybe I can do something for you or...
But it would be once,
and I wouldn't want Kate to know.
- No, this isn't that.
Will you just help me work things out with Kate?
- Sorry, I misunderstood.
- Yeah, this isn't about money.
This has never been about money.
This is about family, family I never had.
- Hey!
- I had Mexican for lunch.
- Oh, maybe if I had been able to get a hold of you,
I could have picked up something different.
But since you didn't answer your phone,
and no one at the office knew where you were...
- Please don't start again.
- OK, I'm sorry.
- I'm sure this is way better than the lunch place.
You know what, um,
I was thinking maybe you should give Linda another chance.
I mean, the whole situation is unnerving, right?
I'm sure she wasn't at her best.
- I thought I told you how I felt.
- Well, honey, it's just a suggestion.
I think it would be good for you.
You've been incredibly isolated lately.
- I gotta say, I'd been half expecting her to call all day.
I mean, she makes this huge effort to track me down,
and then, you know, just disappears,
just like it never happened, like she never found me.
[Scoffing]
- Are you disappointed?
- No, I just think it's odd, don't you?
- You want a beer?
- No. Thank you.
So, where were you today?
- Sweetheart,
if you and I are gonna start rebuilding our trust,
you have to stop asking me these questions, OK?
- OK! You just tell me where you were. Don't lie.
- You know what, I'm done apologizing.
I made one mistake,
and I'm not gonna spend the rest of my life paying for it, OK?
- It was just the one, right?
- You're upset, but this is probably about your sister.
- Don't tell me what I'm upset about.
- I wish you'd work on getting past this.
I don't wanna be cross-examined every time I come home.
- I haven't said anything for weeks!
- But the way you look at me...
Not to mention your unpredictable state of mind.
I never know who or what I'm coming home to.
- I should've left you so long ago!
- Kate!
[Sighing]
[Cars honking]
Look at that face.
This guy looks like a murderer.
If any of you
were even considering putting him on the stand,
go to the back of the class.
[Cell ringing]
[Clearing throat]
I need to take this. Excuse me!
Hello?
- [Linda]: Hey! I catch you at a bad moment?
- Uh, sort of.
Not really!
- I was wondering if you'd had a chance to talk to Kate.
- I did, yes.
Um, I'm sorry, it's not gonna happen.
Linda, are you there?
- Yeah, well, thanks for trying.
And thanks for making the time to see me yesterday.
- It's my pleasure.
- Can I buy you lunch before I head back to Buffalo?
- I really can't do that.
- Come on! How much rejection can a girl take?
- OK.
- It's just too bad, you know?
'Cause I know I like you,
and I think Kate and I could grow on each other.
I guess, maybe, it's just not meant to be.
Do you have a big family?
- No.
A brother in social work with a very pregnant wife
who's recently developed a serious jones
for Mama's Pizza.
[Laughing]
And he's just started a job with inner-city kids.
And my parents are still here in Boston in a townhouse
we moved to when I was nine.
- Nice house?
- No, but it was in the right school district.
- Oh! You went to school with the rich kids.
- Yeah! Pretty much!
[Laughing]
- I bet you kept to yourself, though.
I bet you just walked past
all the big, beautiful houses and thought:
"Oh, I want a big, beautiful house one day."
And so, then, you went to school and you focused,
and you studied really hard, and you got straight A's.
- You are really something.
- Hmm! Something good or something bad?
- A little of both, I think.
- Huh! OK!
You ever been unfaithful to Kate?
- Uh, why are you asking me that?
- Curious.
- Yes. Once.
And she's been threatening to leave me ever since.
- Hmm! So why hasn't she?
- I don't know.
I guess she still wants to see if it can work.
- And you?
- Kate's fragile. She needs me.
- So you've never considered divorce?
- Divorce? Who said anything about divorce?
Right now, my focus is on making partner.
I have worked really, really hard for this,
and I think I have a right to enjoy it.
- Yeah, you do!
[Both laughing]
No, no, no! I invited you to lunch.
- Please! I insist.
- OK! Thank you!
Are you free for lunch tomorrow?
I was thinking of hanging around for a few days,
maybe sightseeing.
- Tomorrow doesn't look good.
- No? I'll call in case anything changes.
- Uh, can I have my hand back? The office is waiting.
- Hmm! You don't have anything to worry about, Jack.
What's that called, uh,
when the lawyer is sworn to secrecy?
- Attorney-client privilege.
- That! My lips are sealed.
- Hey, what's going on?
- It's happening again.
- Did you call Dr. O'Connor?
- What's the point?
- Kate, please don't do this to yourself.
Just, at least get her on the phone and--and talk to her.
- Talk?
God, Jack, you're so completely out of touch.
Shrinks aren't interested in talk these days.
It's all about better living through chemistry.
- Ok. I don't want to argue.
Is there anything I can do to help?
[Sighing]
- Yeah! Just sleep in the guestroom.
- OK! Holler if you need anything.
Sweetheart? I got your coffee.
- I'll have it later.
[Sighing]
- Can I get you anything?
- A new life.
- All right, anything you need, I'll be at the office.
I have an early lunch.
Hey!
- Hey, yourself!
- Um, I was glad you hadn't left.
- Well, I had a feeling you'd call.
- You have time for a quick drink?
- Absolutely! I'll get my coat.
- We had this ritual where every Sunday, we'd go on a long hike,
and we'd use the time to talk and reconnect
and even air out our complaints.
- Mm-hmm! Sounds smart. And nice!
- It was. For a long time it worked.
But one Sunday, we skipped our hike,
and we did the same the following Sunday.
And before we knew it,
our little tradition had come to an end.
- And whose fault was that?
- Oh, mine, probably. I was busy with work.
I always had some excuse.
One day, I looked across the breakfast table
and found myself wondering what had happened to our marriage,
and whether it was even worth saving.
That was a horrible thing to say, wasn't it?
- No! It was honest.
- There are certain things, you know.
The depression, I can't blame her for that.
But this endless criticism about how I've lost my way
and everything I'm doing wrong, that's hard to take.
- Sounds to me like you're already halfway out the door.
- Uh, this was nice.
You're, uh, real easy to talk to.
- Well, come on in! I'll fix you a drink.
- Uh, this is not a good idea.
I have had too much to drink already.
- Really?- Yeah.
- Just one more drink?
[Both kissing and breathing heavily]
[Exhaling sharply]
[Chuckling]
- That could become addictive.
- Mmm!
[Sighing]
Mmm!
What did you see in my sister?
[Scoffing]
- No, I'm just saying,
she's pretty, but it doesn't look like she makes much effort.
Hmm? She seems kind of a downer.
Don't you think?
[Laughing]
Come on! You can talk to me. We're not married, remember?
- Ah, ah!
- You must have been crazy about her once.
- Uh, I guess.
- "I guess"?
- I mean, Kate's a good person,
and she's smart and she has good values,
but was there a hallelujah moment?
Was I struck by lightning? No!
- No?
- No.
- It's sad.
- To be honest, I think it was more of a rebound thing.
A few months before I met Kate,
the woman I thought I was gonna marry broke things off.
- Why did she do that?
- I think she thought
I wasn't gonna be successful enough for her.
- [Laughing]: Oh!
- I think she stopped believing in me.
- And you should call her
and thank her for dumping you.
- Why?
- 'Cause it made you so driven. Right?
- Hmm...
- So, who broke your heart?
- Oh, that? Nobody. That's me.
I'm the heartbreaker.
- Oh!
- High school.
- Oh! Should I be worried?
- [Whispering]: Yes. Very!
[Both laughing]
- And, uh,
what about this necklace?
- This? This is to, um...
This is to protect me from evil.
- Oh! It's not doing a very good job, is it?
- No! Apparently, not.
[Laughing]
Mmm...
[Grunting]
What? What's going on?
- I--I feel guilty.
- Hmm!
Well, good!
I would think there is something wrong with you if you didn't.
But I have a fix.
- Hmm?
- Mm-hmm!
- Hey! What's this?
- It's chicken soup.
- Hmm! I don't have a cold.
- What can I say? It's comfort food.
- Hmm!
- Give it a try.
- Thank you!
Mmm...
- I have to go to Lowell for a deposition tomorrow,
and I'll probably crash there,
'cause I know I'm not gonna get through it in one day.
What?
- You're a terrible liar, Jack.
[Sighing]
- You know what?
You're not yourself right now,
so I'm gonna let that slide.
[Birds chirping]
- Oh, wow!
[Laughing]
Wow, wow, wow!
I think this is the most beautiful place
I've ever seen in my whole life. Wow!
Thank you!
- Ah!
- Thank you!
- Jack? It is Jack!
- It's one of the partners: Bill Korda.
Just smile and act like you know him. We'll get through this, OK?
How are you? What a surprise!
- Hi!- You remember Kate.
- So nice to see you again, Bill!
- You look great!
- [Laughing]: Oh! Well, you sound surprised!
- Oh! No, no! You both know my wife, Barbara.
- Of course! Barbara, so nice to see you again!
- Nice to see you, Kate!
Congratulations on another victory, Jack.
Rumour has it you're on your way
to becoming a member of the family.
- Oh?
[Bill and Barbara laughing]
- We were about to sit down for dinner.
Why don't you join us? - We don't want to impose.
- Please! I insist.
- Thank you! That sounds fun.
Let's do it!- OK!
- "The past explains how you got here,
"but where you go from here is up to you."
- That is brilliant.
- Right? I think that's good.
- I understand you're a professional photographer.
- Um... Oh, I don't know. I mean, I think I'm--
I think that's generous.
[Laughing]: I think I'd probably describe myself
as a competent amateur,
but I love what I do,
and I especially love working with kids.
- I wish we'd hired you to do our son's portrait
before he got that awful nose ring.
- Oh, leave him with me. I'll make him look like a Boy Scout.
[All laughing]
I'm good for that.
[All 3 laughing]
- What a terrific evening!
We should do this again. - [Barbara]: Hmm!
- Anytime!
[Laughing]
Right?
- Oh! I can't believe you pulled that off!
- It was weirdly fun.
- What? Why are you looking at me like that?
- You were really, really, really good back there.
You even had me going.
- I bet I could take Kate life's over just like that.
- That's a strange thing to say.
- Why? A girl can dream, can't she?
Hmm? You didn't think about it? Not once?
- Mmm...
[Siren wailing, car honking in distance]
- Hey!
- What do you want, Cassie?
- You took the day off yesterday, huh?
- Excuse me?
- Is that a role-playing thing?
You and the little wife meet at a motel
in the middle of the day
and try to spice up your sex lives?
How does it work exactly?
Do you pretend to be other people?
Does she wear wigs and stiletto heels?
- You've been following me around?
- What are you gonna do, Jack? Fire me?
You're pathetic!
Trying to put some heat into that dead marriage.
I don't know what I ever saw in you.
- The legal term for what you're doing is "stalking."
- "Stalking" is a legal term?
- I'm gonna politely suggest that you keep your distance.
- You're forgetting something.
I'm the one who found the witness at the bathhouse.
I didn't know that Markovic's whole case
would hinge on the testimony of a Russian immigrant
who clearly doesn't understand
the meaning of the word "perjury."
- I'm gonna pretend you didn't say that.
- Pretend all you want, Jack.
I'm just a lowly assistant, and maybe I'll get fired,
but you, you might end up in prison.
- Are you finished?
- You think you can just go around breaking a girl's heart
and getting away with it?
That might have worked with that little Venezuelan intern,
but it's not gonna work with me.
- She saw you from her car, I guess,
and thought you were Kate.
[Scoffing]
- Of course, she thought I was Kate.
She could be standing next to me and think I was Kate.
I just don't get what the big deal is.
I mean, who's she gonna tell?
Poor girl thinks you're having an affair with your own wife.
[Laughing]
But I could be your wife.
I mean, it's like you said,
I could walk through that front door
and take over Kate's life.
- What? I never said that.
- But you thought it.
- Stop, OK?
- What? You're mad at me now?
- No, I'm upset about Cassie. - Why?
- The case I just won, Anton Markovic,
she helped me dig up a witness
that turned things around for us.
- Huh! What do you mean?
- I don't think she's gonna do anything, but I don't know.
I should probably tell Markovic.
- Oh, no! Don't do that. Don't do that.
It just makes me feel cheap. Just take it!
- That's not what this is about.
Come on, a girl's gotta eat, right?
- When am I gonna see you again? - Soon.
- Hmm? Soon?- Soon.
- Maybe I should go back to Buffalo.
- No, no! I don't-- Please stay! I want you to stay.
- But what am I staying for?
- We talked about this.
There's nothing I can do right now.
I'm gonna make partner in a few months.
I have to look the part: married, stable, solid citizen.
- Where does that leave me? Hmm?
Just: "I'm gonna love you forever and wait for you."
- Linda!- I don't think so!
- There are certain things I have to take care of.
- You know what? Go back to your mousy wife.
- This isn't about you. - Get out!
[Cell ringing]
[Sighing]
[Keypad beeping]
[Sighing]
- [Kate]: Hi!
- Hey!
I'm just checking to see if the fog had lifted.
- Hmm, not entirely,
but I'm almost back on my feet.
- OK, good!
Because I'm gonna stop at Philippe's for take out,
so put the good china on the table.
- What's the occasion?
- Do we need one?
I meant everything I said, Kate.
I wanna be a better husband.
But please stop being so hard on me, OK?
There are two of us here.
When the depression kicks in,
you're not exactly fun to be around.
- Well, I know. I'm working on it with Dr. O'Connor.
What's your excuse?
- I--I didn't mean it that way. I'm sorry.
- You know, when those dark clouds roll in,
I'm not exactly in control.
- Well, I'll remember that. I promise.
I keep thinking about
all the great things that we never do anymore:
hiking and skiing...
- Hmm!
- ...that little bed and breakfast outside Stowe
where we spent 3 whole days in bed.
- Children?- Children?
- Yeah. Do you think about children?
- Yeah, of course! Children would be great.
Just remember, every parent we know
lives in a state of constant anxiety.
- Yeah, but they all say it's worth it.
- Well, of course they do. They can't give them back, can they?
- Mine did.
[Child shouting in distance]
[Car beeping]
[Glass shattering]
- [Linda]: Dear Kate: Your husband is a rat.
We've been having an affair.
I'm not proud of it, but you deserve to know the truth.
Love, Linda.
[Sighing]
- Jack?
[Glass clinking]
Oh my God! What happened?
- I don't know. I just got here myself.
- Is anything missing?
- It doesn't look like it.
- I'm gonna call the cops!
- And tell them what?
That somebody broke in and took nothing?
- What aren't you telling me? - Don't start again.
- I can tell you're keeping something from me.
- What, now you're clairvoyant?
- Jack! - Don't push me, Kate.
I told you, I'm done apologizing.
- Don't lie to Kate! - What?
- She deserves to know!
- How dare you break into my house!
- I'm not some slut you get to use
whenever you want.
I'm calling Kate,
and I'll tell her everything!
What are you doing!
- You better think hard about what you're doing.
You don't know me. You don't know what I'm capable of.
- You're right! I have no idea who you are.
But for the first time, I feel sorry for my sister!
- Go back to Buffalo. If you don't, this is gonna end badly.
[Camera shutter clicking, siren wailing]
[Chatter on police radio, indistinct]
[Men talking, indistinct]
- I'll be sure to pass on the message.
Absolutely!
- I was working late one night,
and she was getting ready to go home,
and she saw me through the glass and came in to chat.
I offered her a drink.
- When was this exactly?
- Late March, early April.
But the whole thing only lasted maybe 5 or 6 weeks.
She was taking it a little seriously,
and I didn't want to lead her on.
I told her I had no intention of leaving my wife.
- How did that go over?
- She wasn't happy.
There were a few tears, but she didn't make a scene.
- Did anyone know about the affair?
- Yes, my wife.
I got careless.
She saw an email.
But no one in the office knows.
We were very discreet.
- Did you ever meet any of her friends?
- No, and she didn't talk about them.
I don't think she had many friends, come to think of it.
She struck me as a little lonely.
Maybe I took advantage of that.
I don't know. I hope not.
- Yeah, I hope not.
Thank you.
- [Whispering]: OK.
- How did it go?
- I told him what little I knew.
I'm not sure it helped.
- She seemed like such a sweet girl, you know?
- Yeah.
- Attractive too. That shock of wild red hair.
You know, for a while,
I thought there was something going on between you two.
- What? No!
[Chuckling]
No.
- By the way,
Kate looked terrific the other night, happy too.
I know you guys had a rough patch a while ago.
I'm glad to see you back on solid ground.
- Thanks, Bill.
- OK, talk to you later. - Yeah.
- Do you have something to tell me?
[Sighing]
- About what?
- The girl. I saw it on the news.
You didn't say anything about it
when we spoke on the phone earlier.
- What would you have wanted me to say?
- I just think you might mention it, no?
Isn't it basic human empathy?
A girl you had an affair with is murdered,
and you say nothing?
- You're right. I feel lousy, yes.
But if I tell you I feel lousy,
that's probably the wrong thing to say, right?
- You don't look like you feel lousy.
You know what I see? Relief.
- Relief? Why would I feel relieved?
- You tell me. - What are you saying?
Are you implying I had something to do with it?
- No, I wasn't, but now I'm wondering.
[Siren wailing]
[Cell phone ringing]
[Ringing stops]
[Ringing]
- Hello.
- You need to come home right away.
- What's going on?
- Just listen to this.
- Kate! Hi, it's Linda.
Just wanted to reach out.
I think about you a lot, you and your lovely life,
more than you believe.
Ha!
How's that gorgeous husband of yours?
Tell him I'm really sorry about his girlfriend, OK?
Well, take care. Bye!
- How does she know about your affair?
- I told you I have no idea!
- Have you been in touch with her?
- How can you even suggest such a thing?
- So what am I missing?
- I really don't have time for this.
- We should call the police!
- And tell them what? She's obviously smart.
The message is too ambiguous to be a threat.
- I knew something was off about this woman.
I knew it from the moment I met her.
- I'll tell you what I think. Her feelings are hurt.
You sent her back to Buffalo, and she's angry.
- But I don't think she went back to Buffalo.
I don't think Cassie's murder made the evening news
in Buffalo!
- I don't know.
My meeting started 20 minutes ago.
- Where is she getting her information from?
- Hey, I am as confused as you are!
- Oh, I give up! I give up! I give up! I give up!
I went to see Adam Teichman this morning.
- About a divorce?
- I can't do this anymore, Jack.
I don't trust you.
- Kate, how many times do I have to tell you
I don't wanna lose you?
- Yeah, I wish I could believe it.
- Sweetheart, don't do this.
- Jack, just go back to your office.
Don't do anything to jeopardize your hallowed partnership.
- I won't let you do this to me!
You file for divorce, I will annihilate you!
[Elevator beeping]
- Hi, it's Linda.
Do it at the beep, unless this is Jack.
If this is Jack, go screw yourself.
[Beep]
- No witnesses, autopsy report. We should look into insanity.
We should insist on separate trials.
If we don't, they're both going to fry.
- I'm very sorry I'm late.
[♪ Woman singing jazz on stereo, indistinct ♪]
- Kate?
Hey! What are you doing here?
- Deborah, hey! Michael! How are you doing?
It's so nice to see you guys!
- You, uh, meeting Jack for dinner?
- Jack? No. No, no!
[Chuckling]
Well, you know your brother, right?
Why bother coming back to me
when you're having so much fun at the office?
- Is everything OK, Kate?
- Me? Oh, yeah, peachy!
Yeah, yeah!
- Come on. Let us drive you home.
- Why? I'm just getting started, Deborah!
[Chuckling]
- Maybe you've had enough.
- Maybe I want more than enough, huh? How about that?
[Laughing]
You guys! It is so good to see you.
It's so good to see any couple that is really happily married!
You know how rare that is?
It's great. Here's to you!
- Two brothers were charged with murdering a cab driver.
They had separate trials. The first brother was acquitted.
The 2nd brother went to trial.
His brother was the first witness.
[Cell phone buzzing]
He confessed to the crime.
They both walked. Jack, are you with us?
- I'm sorry, yes.
[Cell phone buzzing]
Excuse me. I'm sorry. I have to take this.
It's a personal matter.
Hello?
- Hi, Jack, it's me.
- Yeah, Michael, what's up?
Um, Deb and I just ran into Kate at Mama's Pizza.
- Uh, yeah?
Uh, she's at the bar, drinking.
- Is everything all right?
- Well, she's alone,
and she acted like she hadn't seen us in months.
And she kept calling Deb "Deborah."
- Huh! I don't get it.
- She's had a few, Jack.
I think we should drive her home.
- Uh, no, no. I'll handle it.
Thanks, Michael, and thanks for calling.
- All right.
I'm really, terribly sorry.
This is a personal emergency. Please forgive me.
[♪ Cell phone ringing ]
[Chuckling]
[Tires screeching]
[♪ Man singing rock on car stereo, indistinct ♪]
- Hello, stranger!
- So, this is how you get my attention, huh?
By leaving crazy messages on my answering machine?
Harassing my family?
- I didn't harass them. I was perfectly civil.
- What do you want?
- I just wanted to see if they'd buy it.
- Buy what?
- They thought I was Kate!
- You are really beginning to scare me.
- This is what I was calling about.
- You can't be serious.
I don't believe you.
- You don't believe me?
There's another kit in the bathroom, Jack.
You're welcome to check. I did it twice.
Are you gonna say something?
- Kate can't even get pregnant,
and you get pregnant without even trying.
- Well, maybe it's another sign.
Hi! I've missed you.
- Wow! My life is going to hell!
- Don't say that! You've got me. I'm here.
- Kate went to see a divorce attorney, this guy, Teichman.
I've worked too hard to let her take it all away from me.
- It sounds like there's no reasoning with her.
- No, that's the thing.
I never know who I'm coming home to,
the angry, vindictive bitch
or the kind, generous wife who is willing
to give her philandering husband another chance.
Maybe it's the cocktail of antidepressants.
I don't know, but sometimes she gets a look in her eye...
- What if you never had to see that look again, Jack? Hmm?
Then what?
I'd do anything for you.
Anything.
That's what love is, right?
- I got--I gotta get back.
- What are we doing about the baby?
- Uh, I don't know yet.
- Well, can you just hold me?
Hmm?
Can you just-- Come on!
Just--just hold me a little bit.
- What are you-- What the hell are you doing?
Give that to me. Linda!
Linda, open the door!
[Toilet flushing]
Linda!
You're crazy!
[Sighing]
Kate?
[Sighing]
[Door opening]
What the hell do you think you're doing?
- What are you talking about?
- You know exactly what I'm talking about.
- I have no idea.
I just had the most delicious dinner at La Ferme.
Oh, a little Dover sole with some capers and some lemon.
A couple of glasses of the Sancerre.
You can say what you like about that Gavi,
there is nothing to touch a good Sancerre.
- Yeah, you think this is funny?
- No, I think it's serious. I think it's deadly serious.
- Yeah, you've got that right.
- And Teichman does too.
And potentially very lucrative!
You can drag me through the law courts all you like
with your big guns,
but at the end of the day, you are gonna pay for my defence.
And if you make partner,
I'm entitled to a chunk of that too!
- Teichman is a 3rd-rate lawyer.
He has no idea what he's talking about.
- Well, we'll see. - Yeah.
- In the interest of full disclosure,
I shared with him those pornographic emails
between you and Cassie.
He said something about showing those to your future partners.
Oh, you appear to have misplaced your wedding band.
I wonder if that was subconscious.
- Would you stop, OK? I lost it at Korda's club.
We looked in the sauna, the men's room, the showers.
The manager is still hoping it'll turn up.
[Sighing]
- You have such an unfortunate "tell," Jack.
Whenever you lie, there's a surfeit of detail.
- Why would I lie about that?
If you don't believe me, call the club!
- I would if I cared, but I don't give a damn.
[Chuckling]
- One beer, please.
[♪ Electronic lounge on stereo ♪]
[♪ Muffled bass on car stereo ]
Linda!
- You look like you're finally ready.
You've done everything you can, Jack.
You have. It sounds to me like she's pretty dug in.
She's just out to punish you now.
- Uh, you're probably right.
- I know I am.
- What the hell did I do to her?
I screwed up. I admitted it.
I'm sick of it. I'm sick of living on my knees.
- Yeah, you shouldn't have to.
[Sighing]
- I don't know what to do.
- Yeah, you do. Yeah, you do, Jack.
You know exactly what to do. You help me take over her life.
Right?
- Did Cassie Morgan work on the Markovic case?
- Uh, I'm sure she may have. Everyone pitches in around here.
- The reason why I ask is because, on August 16th,
she made several calls to a Russian bathhouse.
- I'm sure that's possible. I just don't remember.
- Did you know that that witness from the bathhouse
had gone back to Moscow?
- I did not.
- Yeah, we haven't been able to find him, though.
So maybe he didn't go back to Moscow.
Maybe someone wanted it to look that way.
- I'm not sure I follow.
[Cell phone buzzing]
Uh...
- Go ahead and answer that, I don't mind.
- It's OK. It's not important.
Go ahead.
- Can you take a look at something?
- Yes, absolutely.
- Do you recognize that bracelet?
- Yes, I bought it for her.
We spent a day in Quincy,
and she saw it in a store window,
and I went back and surprised her with it.
- How about this?
- Um, no. No, I've never seen that before.
- It was found a few yards from Miss Morgan's body.
Probably not connected, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
Thank you.
You know, I can't believe that bastard Markovic
is walking the streets a free man.
- It was the prosecution's job
to convince the jury he was guilty.
If you're looking for someone to blame, you should blame them.
[Inhaling sharply]
- Hi!
- Hi! What are you doing here?
- Why have you been ignoring me?
- This isn't the place.
Let's walk back to the elevator.
- No, I don't understand!
You talked me into this and suddenly--
- I talked you into it? You have it backwards.
- No, Jack, this was your idea.
- I need you to leave.
- Let go of me!
- Don't you dare make a scene!
Come with me.
- I don't understand why you're so angry with me.
What did I do?
[Door closing]
What? Why are you looking at me like that?
Come on! Look, I wanted to show you this.
Look.
- Oh! Whoa!
- It's beautiful. Look at the design.
There's no hammer to snag on your pocket.
- Would you put that away, please?
- Yeah, sure.
But I came to tell you you were right.
You're totally right. There's no other way.
This is the only way.
I love you.
[Door opening]
- Uh, I'd--I'd like to talk.
These last few days,
I've been giving us a lot of thought,
and we are about to go down a path we are really gonna regret.
I screwed up.
I did this to us,
and I take full responsibility for everything.
I really want for us to be a team again.
I love you, Kate, and I'll do anything to make it work.
- You keep saying that, but the damage is done.
- Please?
I'm just asking for one more chance.
Kate, don't give up on me.
Please don't give up on us.
- I see why you do so well in court, Jack.
It's not gonna work here.
I think you should find yourself another a place to live.
- Try it.
Heavy, right?
Here, you wanna use 2 hands.
Move the thumb out of the way.
- Yeah.
Like that.
[Birds chirping]
Wow! How are you gonna get her all the way out of here?
- This is where we used to hike.
In fact, this is where I proposed to her.
What?
- Nothing. It makes me sad.
I hate the thought of you with her.
I feel like I have a lot to learn.
I don't wanna make any mistakes,
you know, with your family or your friends
and the people you work with.
I guess I'll have to teach myself photography.
But that'll be fun.
And I'm a quick study.
- We're almost there.
[Crows cawing in distance]
The critical thing is for them not to find the body.
Without a body, it's very tough to make a case.
[Jack panting and grunting]
- You think that's deep enough?
Huh? Jack, you think it's deep enough?
- You want it deeper?
Dig!
- Why are you talking to me like that?
What are you doing? Put the gun down!
- I know you killed Cassie. They found your necklace.
- I don't know what you're talking about!
- You're worse than some of the people I've defended.
- Put the gun down! - Why Cassie?
- Because she was gonna hurt you. I did it for you!
- You are nothing like Kate. Nothing like her at all.
- I love you, Jack. I love you!
- I can't even believe you're related.
I'm gonna go home, and I'm gonna make my marriage work.
- You can't! You'll be killing the wrong sister.
- I'm killing the one that got me into this mess.
- Don't do it! Put the gun down!
- No! - Let me go!
You'll never hear from me again!
- I don't trust you. - You'll never see me again!
- I can't take that chance.
- Just think of the baby!
- That thing's gonna keep me tied to you
for the rest of my life.
[Clicking]
[Gasping]
[Coughing]
- You didn't think I'd be stupid enough
to give you a loaded gun, did you, Jack?
Those were blanks.
[Wheezing]
Look at me.
Do you not recognize me?
I'm the girl you fell in love with, Jack.
Except you didn't, right?
You didn't have a hallelujah moment.
You weren't struck by lightning.
It's too bad.
It's too bad I fell for a liar and a cheat.
[Shuddering]
I created Linda just to see how far you'd go.
Boy, did you go.
If you had said no to her, just once,
we wouldn't be here.
But here we are.
