[00:05:18]>> Nah, I'm okay. My gallbladder was giving me trouble. Oh, how' the little one like the locket? Oh, I I'm saving it for her birthday. She loved that. How much?

[00:05:32]>> Um, five bucks.

[00:05:44]>> You take care.

[00:05:45]>> Wait a minute. You change for you.

[00:05:50]Morning, Kathy. Suzanne wants to see you.

[00:06:02]>> Thank you.

[00:06:07]>> Hey, Suzanne. You wanted to see me?

[00:06:09]>> Hi. Uh, any news on the Magnolia Ranch House?

[00:06:11]>> I'm showing it again at 3.

[00:06:13]>> Oh, great. I am under all kinds of pressure to get that place sold. I've had that listing for nearly 3 months.

[00:06:18]>> Well, I'm working on it. I've got a good feeling about this client. I think it's right up her alley. You're a lifesaver.

[00:06:24]Pleasure.

[00:06:37]>> It's me.

[00:06:38]>> You were amazing last night.

[00:06:40]>> Sam, please.

[00:06:42]>> You can't stay away from me. And you know why? You want to know why? Because we're fabulous together.

[00:06:49]>> I got a little surprise for you this afternoon.

[00:06:52]>> Not today. I can't get away today.

[00:06:55]>> Sure you can.

[00:06:56]>> No, Sam. Things are not good at home.

[00:06:59]And this makes it more complicated.

[00:07:02]>> Well, it didn't feel complicated last night.

[00:07:04]>> It's never complicated when we're together.

[00:07:07]>> I can't think straight when we're together. It's It's after I leave you that it gets difficult.

[00:07:13]I don't like myself right now. I don't like what I'm doing to Nick.

[00:07:18]>> I'm no threat to your husband or your family. I've been completely outfront on that.

[00:07:22]>> You're the one that's making it a problem.

[00:07:25]>> Because it is a problem for me.

[00:07:27]>> Okay. I don't mean to make light of it.

[00:07:29]I know it bothers you. But you know, this thing with us, I mean, this will burn out soon enough. So, what do you say we just enjoy it while it lasts?

[00:07:41]>> You sure know how to sweep a girl off her feet.

[00:07:48]I'm got to go.

[00:08:06]>> Look at this place.

[00:08:07]>> Pretty great, isn't it? The minute I walked in here, I felt like I was home.

[00:08:11]I think I'm in some real trouble here.

[00:08:15]I still haven't told Harry that I want to move.

[00:08:18]Oh, don't worry. I can be very persuasive when I want something.

[00:08:28]Oh, I love the wood floors.

[00:08:35]Great bathroom. I love it.

[00:08:37]>> Mhm.

[00:08:38]>> Oh, bathtub is fabulous. Yeah. Let me show you the closet. Okay. And feel free to just wander around.

[00:08:46]>> Stainless kitchen. Love it.

[00:09:05]I've seen enough.

[00:09:08]So, what do you say, Nia?

[00:09:11]>> I think Harry's in for a good time.

[00:09:15]>> Good news for Harry.

[00:09:18]>> Lately, I' been feeling low and I' been feeling down lately. My baby come and go and he never lately I been thinking back days I had a problem >> too much time on >> I don't see that as a problem in >> fact you know I've arranged my life to have minutes like this.

[00:09:58]>> You glad you passed on much?

[00:10:02]>> I don't know. I'm starved.

[00:10:10]>> Oh, you have a great ass.

[00:10:16]>> Speaking of which, I sent you a little present.

[00:10:20]>> It's not the straw man on Ry. I'm not interested.

[00:10:25]Thinking back to love.

[00:10:29]Lately I've been thinking back to that and this first kiss. Lately I've been thinking what's gone wrong with our love song but it feels like you're miles away. I can touch but you don't hear the words.

[00:10:57]>> Boy, I picked three losers in a row and you get flowers and sexy underwear from a guy in the same day.

[00:11:04]Look, maybe I'm way off base here and feel free to stop me if this isn't my business. I know what can happen when these things get out of control. I've been there and it didn't end well.

[00:11:17]>> What happened?

[00:11:18]>> Jim was a master seducer and I was vulnerable.

[00:11:25]>> Yeah.

[00:11:27]It's a deadly combination.

[00:11:31]>> How did you end it?

[00:11:33]>> Ella Browning, shrink extraordinaire.

[00:11:38]>> Well, you you seem to have survived.

[00:11:41]Only after I lost everything.

[00:11:52]>> I thought you said you're good.

[00:12:01]Quickly.

[00:12:07]>> Now, what are you going to do? Huh?

[00:12:08]Emily. Emily, where'd you go?

[00:12:11]>> Mommy. Mommy, save me.

[00:12:14]>> Oh, there's no help.

[00:12:33]Thanks for seeing me on such short notice.

[00:12:36]>> Well, any friend of Suzanne's.

[00:12:41]What can I do to help you?

[00:12:43]>> Um, well, I'm married. I have a young daughter. My husband, Nick, is everything I could ever dream.

[00:12:52]Yet, I can't stay away from this guy.

[00:12:55]Sam, >> um, I don't know what's wrong with me. I I I don't understand why I'm doing any of this.

[00:13:03]>> All right. All right. Let's start with what this guy Sam has to offer that you're not getting at home.

[00:13:13]Oh, well, I don't know how to describe it. Everything about Sam is intense.

[00:13:20]I'm passionate from from some place almost primal.

[00:13:26]He makes me feel alive.

[00:13:28]Is this affair only about sex? Don't underestimate that. Sex can be a very powerful draw.

[00:13:37]>> Well, if it was just about sex, this would be easy.

[00:13:41]>> Maybe you're afraid you're going to have to choose between Sam and Nick.

[00:13:47]>> No. No. Sam's not the marrying kind.

[00:13:52]He loves me. I know he loves me.

[00:13:56]But uh Sam is never with just one woman for long.

[00:14:01]>> That's pretty definite.

[00:14:03]>> Well, he says he's never seen a good marriage, including his parents. He doesn't think it works.

[00:14:10]>> That kind of challenge can be a real allure for a woman.

[00:14:15]Are you sure you're not harboring the fantasy that you can change all that?

[00:14:20]>> No, absolutely not.

[00:14:22]>> You sure about that?

[00:14:24]>> I'm positive. I love my family. I love my husband. They mean everything to me.

[00:14:30]>> Yet, you risk losing them.

[00:14:35]>> Yeah, that's what terrifies me. That's why I'm here.

[00:14:40]Suzanne said that you helped her, and I know I need help. I know this is crazy, but I can't stop what I'm doing.

[00:15:03]Heat.

[00:15:13]Heat.

[00:15:17]Oh, heat.

[00:15:47]I didn't expect to see you tonight.

[00:15:49]How'd you get away?

[00:15:50]>> Does it matter?

[00:16:00]Take me home.

[00:16:18]I want to show you something.

[00:16:23]>> Anyone I know?

[00:16:26]>> Well, you're not here, so it's a work from memory.

[00:16:30]>> Well, I'm here now.

[00:16:42]How am I ever going to walk away from this?

[00:16:45]>> Why would you want to end badly?

[00:16:50]>> Oh, I don't know, baby. I bet we have a spectacular end.

[00:16:58]Heat. Heat.

[00:17:32]That is exactly what we're looking for.

[00:17:34]I want my wife to see it.

[00:17:35]>> Anytime.

[00:17:36]>> Okay. Well, I'll get her schedule and I'll call you later. Great.

[00:17:38]>> All right. Thanks.

[00:18:07]Laura, I don't mean to alarm you, but some guy has been calling here asking questions about you.

[00:18:14]>> What kind of questions? just whether I knew you, if you work here.

[00:18:20]Um, of course, he wouldn't leave me his name.

[00:18:25]>> What'd you tell him?

[00:18:27]>> Nothing. I I wouldn't discuss you with a stranger.

[00:18:33]>> Thank you. You're welcome.

[00:18:35]Thanks.

[00:18:54]Hello.

[00:19:07]Heat.

[00:19:30]Found her. Charlie, it's her. Sure of it.

[00:19:34]>> Stay on her.

[00:19:42]What's wrong? What's happened?

[00:19:45]>> It's Nick. He's having an affair.

[00:19:50]I saw him with her. They were kissing in the street. It wasn't a friendly kiss.

[00:19:56]>> So, it's okay for you, but not for him.

[00:19:59]I know what Sam's about, but this thing with Nick, God, what if he's in love with her? What if he leaves me?

[00:20:11]What's wrong with me? You want to save your marriage, don't you, Laura? Yes.

[00:20:18]But if you do, you're going to have to be completely honest with yourself.

[00:20:28]Did you perhaps sense Nick pulling away from you? Is that what drove you to get involved with Sam?

[00:20:35]>> No, Nick wasn't pulling away. He was loving. He's been perfect and things are as good as they've ever been.

[00:20:46]>> Do you think that Nick knows about Sam?

[00:20:50]>> You know, I've had the feeling lately that I'm being followed.

[00:20:56]And and Suzanne said that someone's been asking questions about me.

[00:21:01]>> What did you do about it?

[00:21:05]>> What do you suggest I do? Call the police and tell them what?

[00:21:10]I'm having an affair and my husband's having me followed.

[00:21:14]>> Laura, what did you think was going to happen when you started this? I mean, what did you want to happen?

[00:21:26]Not this. You know, you can justify this any way you like, Laura, but the fact is you've been having an affair, and things in your life are going to start to unravel unless you deal with that messy reality and the way of it.

[00:22:04]Hey babe, >> are you free?

[00:22:07]>> Certainly not, but I can be had for the right price.

[00:22:12]>> Meet me at Leistro half an hour.

[00:22:16]>> I'll wear my usual disguise.

[00:22:37]woman with yellow hair. Picasso's mirrors.

[00:22:42]He loved her >> among many.

[00:22:47]>> You're the only one right now.

[00:22:52]>> Listen, Sam. Um, I can't do this anymore.

[00:22:59]My life is falling apart.

[00:23:12]And you think not seeing me is going to make that easier?

[00:23:16]>> It's not too late already.

[00:23:20]>> Is that why you wanted to meet me here where I couldn't make a scene?

[00:23:28]>> You still turn me on.

[00:23:32]It's not going to be easy when I go this.

[00:23:45]>> You know, I may not be the best guy in the world, but I wouldn't have gone about blowing somebody off like this.

[00:23:53]>> Sam, please understand.

[00:23:55]>> I do understand.

[00:23:58]Just don't like the way you went about doing it.

[00:24:02]>> Take care of yourself.

[00:24:16]>> Hey.

[00:24:18]>> Hey. Stop.

[00:24:20]>> Excuse me. Can Can I help you with something?

[00:24:22]>> Excuse me. Hey.

[00:24:38]She's working as a real estate agent.

[00:24:40]She has a boyfriend, although I think she blew him off the other day.

[00:24:44]>> That doesn't sound like her.

[00:24:47]>> What do you think, Willicker? I got the wrong girl.

[00:24:49]>> No, no, that's her. All right.

[00:24:54]It's none of my business, but um I wish you ruined my life.

[00:25:09]>> We will sing for joy. Sing to the Lord with songs of praise. Sing for joy. will sing to the Lord the King. The earth, the sea, the sun, the moon, all show his might to sing for joy.

[00:25:29]Halleluah.

[00:25:32]Sing hallelujah. Let all who serve the Lord rejoice.

[00:25:38]Rejoice and sing. Be glad that we belong to him. as all serve the Lord and exalt his name. He is the Lord, the Lord of all. All nations bow before the Lord and sing for joy.

[00:26:11]That was great. As the chair of the PTA, I just like to quickly remind all of you that the school art fair and auction is in 2 weeks.

[00:26:21]The planning meeting will be here tomorrow in the auditorium at 3:00 p.m.

[00:26:25]We could really use the help. Thanks for coming.

[00:26:37]She's a parent at the school.

[00:26:40]I saw the way she looked at Nick.

[00:26:45]>> Is it possible that you're imagining all this?

[00:26:51]>> No, it's not possible. I know what I saw.

[00:26:56]>> Are you going to confront him?

[00:26:58]>> I can't.

[00:27:00]What if he What if he says he loves her? What if he says he's he's leaving me?

[00:27:08]>> Okay. Okay. No, let's go with this. Ask all those questions you're afraid of.

[00:27:13]Come on, Laura.

[00:27:15]How often have you seen her, Nick? Is she everything I'm not?

[00:27:20]>> Are you bored with me?

[00:27:22]>> What is the point of this?

[00:27:23]>> Come on.

[00:27:23]>> I don't want to do this.

[00:27:24]>> Say the words. Let's get to the root of it. Tell him.

[00:27:29]>> Why is he doing this to me?

[00:27:30]>> No. No. Not me. Ask him.

[00:27:33]>> No. I I don't want to hear the answers.

[00:27:38]He's He's treating me like I mean nothing to him, like I'm worthless. That must feel terrible.

[00:27:52]I'm used to it.

[00:27:54]>> Why?

[00:27:56]Who else has treated you this way, Laura?

[00:27:59]Who else? Other men. Come on, Laura.

[00:28:02]Look at me. Who has treated you this way?

[00:28:06]Let's get to the root of it. Come on, my father.

[00:28:15]Okay.

[00:28:18]You know, we lived in the same building and we're biologically connected, but that's that's about all he ever was to me.

[00:28:26]Tell me about him.

[00:28:30]He was a bum.

[00:28:33]always broke, always another getrich quick scheme.

[00:28:39]The only thing he ever bought me was a letter opener from Atlantic City with a little diving horse on top.

[00:28:49]A letter opener for my 10th birthday.

[00:28:54]Probably had it lying around in his car.

[00:28:58]>> You must have felt so very empty.

[00:29:02]Um, I didn't need him. I took care of myself.

[00:29:07]>> How did you do that?

[00:29:10]>> I did what I had to do.

[00:29:13]Whatever I had to do.

[00:29:15]>> Meaning >> meaning exactly that.

[00:29:20]I I needed things, I got them. Clothes, I got them. I wore this this fabulous dress to my prom. This red satin.

[00:29:32]I bought it myself.

[00:29:34]>> Where did you get the money?

[00:29:43]>> You don't want to talk about where the money came from?

[00:29:54]>> You don't mind?

[00:29:56]That's great. Thank you so much.

[00:29:59]Was it fun? Did you like it?

[00:30:05]>> We got to go, honey.

[00:30:24]Laura, I thought that was you. Laura, howuitous. I've been wanting to call Julia Lancaster. You showed my husband and I a house on Mercer Island a few weeks ago.

[00:30:33]>> Oh, yes, right. I'm sorry. I'm running late.

[00:30:35]>> Okay, quick question. Is it still available by any chance?

[00:30:38]>> Let me check and call me tomorrow. Okay.

[00:30:59]What is it, Kathy?

[00:31:02]I can't come now. We'll have plenty of time to make the counter offer before the deadline.

[00:31:09]Charlie who?

[00:31:12]Well, if he calls again, tell him you don't know where I am.

[00:31:37]So I guess I can't What do you want to start?

[00:33:08]Let's go out.

[00:33:46]birthday guest. Happy birthday.

[00:33:58]>> Laura says she had several appointments today. She might not be able to make it in at all.

[00:34:04]I'll wait.

[00:34:08]>> Maybe you'd like to leave your name and number.

[00:34:11]I said I'll wait.

[00:34:21]All right, ladies and gentlemen. So far, we have a bid of $10 for this priceless piece by Peter from Mrs. Kger's fourth grade class. So, do I hear 11?

[00:35:06]>> Now, I'll tell you what. For this item only, I am going to start the bidding myself at $5. So, >> do I hear six?

[00:35:15]>> $6.

[00:35:44]Sold for $50.

[00:36:17]All of They're ganging up on me. That woman was with us in the park that day and now at the art fair.

[00:36:27]They're choosing her over me.

[00:36:30]You think your daughter is choosing her?

[00:36:33]She doesn't even know her, does she?

[00:36:38]Laura, I can only imagine how you felt as a child when your parents weren't looking after you.

[00:36:48]That was the least of it.

[00:36:51]I was paying for their rent. I was 13 years old and I was buying the food that they ate.

[00:36:58]How?

[00:37:02]I had an arrangement with my best friend's father.

[00:37:14]And your parents knew >> they were taken care of. They didn't ask any questions. They had to know where the money was coming from.

[00:37:27]They did nothing to stop me.

[00:37:30]That's hard to believe. Laura, believe it.

[00:37:37]Does Nick know about this?

[00:37:39]>> Oh, no. He would never have married me. That kind of past wouldn't play for Nick.

[00:37:49]I think that's why Sam appeals to me.

[00:37:54]I'm meant to be with men like Sam.

[00:37:58]Men who only want sex.

[00:38:01]But you told me that that Sam loves you.

[00:38:05]Right now, Laura, do you honestly believe he loves you?

[00:38:14]I do, but I'm not sure if Nick still loves me.

[00:38:19]I won't let this ruin my life again.

[00:38:23]You don't think it's too late, do you?

[00:38:28]>> No, Laura, it's not too late.

[00:38:35]>> Inhale and exhale.

[00:38:41]cycle through again.

[00:38:45]Don't forget to keep your head, your spine, your ankles all aligned in one straight plane. Great. Now, we're going to go into tranasana triangle pose. I want you to pivot your left foot in 60°, your right foot out 90. Make sure you keep your hips forward and reach and down.

[00:39:06]Remember to drop your shoulders.

[00:39:08]Keep your head turned up to your left hand.

[00:39:18]and relax and breathe.

[00:39:21]Great.

[00:39:27]And come back up and exhale.

[00:39:33]As you go through your day, remember the energy you've created here and use it to make it a productive one. Namaste.

[00:39:39]>> Namaste.

[00:39:43]A reminder, the studio is being painted tomorrow, so take everything from your locker.

[00:39:48]>> Thanks, guys.

[00:39:51]>> Wait. No, not at all. I was >> Do I know you?

[00:40:01]>> We haven't been introduced.

[00:40:05]>> I saw you at the school.

[00:40:08]Probably too many yoga straps.

[00:40:12]>> Darn it.

[00:40:15]What grade is your child in?

[00:40:17]>> Third.

[00:40:18]>> Mine, too.

[00:40:20]I don't know how I got roped into this.

[00:40:23]>> Let's just call it a fashion statement.

[00:40:32]>> It's a long way to come for a yoga class.

[00:40:36]I came looking for you.

[00:40:38]me. Yeah.

[00:40:40]Why?

[00:40:42]To tell you to stay away from my husband.

[00:40:47]>> I don't know what you're talking about.

[00:40:49]Don't play games with me.

[00:40:51]>> I don't know you or your husband.

[00:40:53]>> I'm not stupid.

[00:40:54]>> No, but you're crazy.

[00:40:57]>> I saw you whip him.

[00:41:03]Heat.

[00:41:15]Heat.

[00:41:24]Heat. Heat.

[00:41:58]You seem very chipper today. Things are getting better. All that worrying for nothing.

[00:42:05]>> Oh, what about the other woman?

[00:42:07]>> Gone.

[00:42:09]It's over.

[00:42:10]>> Are you sure?

[00:42:11]>> Positive.

[00:42:14]>> You must be very relieved.

[00:42:16]>> I'm grateful. Very, very grateful.

[00:42:21]and Sam >> done. I don't need him anymore. My life with Nick is is working now.

[00:42:29]>> That easy, huh?

[00:42:31]>> That easy. What if he calls you again, tries to get you back?

[00:42:36]>> He already has called.

[00:42:39]He told me how much he misses me. Oh, so romantic.

[00:42:44]wanted to take me back to the club like the night we met when he brought me up to the stage and sang to me.

[00:42:53]>> I don't remember you telling me that.

[00:42:56]No, you you told me you met him at the bar after his set. You sent him a drink.

[00:43:01]Uh, no. We had drinks. Of course we did.

[00:43:04]But that was later. That was after he sang to me.

[00:43:07]>> Sounds lovely.

[00:43:12]I doubt that is something I would forget.

[00:43:15]>> That first night, from the first instant, you were like a shooting star.

[00:43:21]But now it's time to get back to real life.

[00:43:24]>> It's good you see things so clearly.

[00:43:28]>> I always know when it's time to walk away.

[00:43:32]>> How do you know that?

[00:43:34]>> Well, um, guys have always had this thing for me. It's been like that all my life.

[00:43:41]Then they get uh they get a little too crazy. They become obsessive.

[00:43:48]And when I can't make them understand the reality of what we really are, I have to go.

[00:43:57]>> That must be very difficult.

[00:43:58]>> It is. It's It's so frightening.

[00:44:02]I have to disappear so they can't find me.

[00:44:07]It's happened more than once, but that's not what's happening now.

[00:44:12]Now, my life is perfect.

[00:44:16]Listen, um I appreciate everything you've done, but I won't be coming back.

[00:44:23]No, now that my life is straightening out, I don't see the point.

[00:44:28]>> Laura, it's it's never this simple.

[00:44:33]>> I'm sorry. Uh, in my case it is.

[00:44:35]>> No, no. I I don't think so. There there are things that you've told me that have me very concerned. The way you deal with your relationships.

[00:44:44]Your recollections differ from one session to the next.

[00:44:47]>> No. No. I maybe carried on. I I exaggerate a little, but I'm fine. I'm really fine.

[00:44:56]>> Laura, I'm not comfortable with >> It's okay.

[00:44:59]>> I am.

[00:45:04]Well, at least keep in touch so I'll know how you're doing.

[00:45:08]That won't be necessary.

[00:46:21]Hey.

[00:46:22]>> Hey. Hey, what do you think, Lu? I want to do something special for the holiday.

[00:46:26]You know, it's been a rough year for everybody.

[00:46:28]>> How can you beat turkey?

[00:46:30]>> Well, turkeyy's pretty ordinary. I was thinking more like duck.

[00:46:35]>> What do you think about duck?

[00:46:36]>> For 16 >> or 12?

[00:46:38]>> Well, you're going to want to get them small. They're more tender that way. And figure on half a pound per person. So, 2 three lbers ought to do it.

[00:46:47]>> That sounds good. They'll look fabulous on my table.

[00:46:51]And don't even bother about making sauce. We've got orange, sour cherry.

[00:46:55]They're all homemade. Out of this world.

[00:46:57]>> It's going to be perfect.

[00:46:59]>> Perfect family dinner.

[00:47:04]>> Laura, there's a gentleman here to see you.

[00:47:08]>> Thank you.

[00:47:12]>> Hi, Detective McAuliffe, Seattle PD.

[00:47:16]>> Do you know this woman?

[00:47:18]I think I took a yoga class with her.

[00:47:21]>> When was that?

[00:47:22]>> A few days ago. Um, Wednesday. I think >> she died on Wednesday.

[00:47:28]>> She died?

[00:47:29]>> We found her at the yoga studio in the elevator. She was uh she was hanged.

[00:47:33]>> Oh my god.

[00:47:35]>> We're just talking to everyone who signed in for that last class.

[00:47:39]>> Well, I don't know what I can tell you.

[00:47:41]Um, it was a regular class. Nothing out of the ordinary.

[00:47:45]>> Well, could you tell me who was at the studio when you left?

[00:47:47]I I didn't really pay attention. I I changed my clothes and I left.

[00:47:53]>> Jazelle Sandler said that someone who fits your description was one of the last people there.

[00:47:59]>> It's possible, I guess.

[00:48:02]>> Well, do you uh do you remember if the victim was still there?

[00:48:05]>> I you know, I saw her packing up.

[00:48:08]>> Was she alone?

[00:48:11]>> I don't know.

[00:48:13]Look, I I had a lot on my mind and um I'm I'm actually embarrassed to tell you what I was really thinking when you're asking me about something so horrific.

[00:48:23]>> Well, please indulge me.

[00:48:25]>> Well, the truth is the holidays are coming up and um I was thinking about how many people were coming to dinner, what I would be cooking. I just didn't pay any attention to who was still in the gym.

[00:48:40]You could be reached at this number >> anytime.

[00:48:43]>> All right. Well, >> thank you for your time.

[00:48:47]>> Thank you.

[00:49:04]>> What do you think?

[00:49:06]>> This is perfect.

[00:49:08]How short an escrow will they take? I start a new job on the 15th. I want to get in, get settled by the first of next month.

[00:49:14]>> Well, that's pretty fast, but I'll see what I can do.

[00:49:16]>> Do it. And you got a sale.

[00:49:19]>> You have my numbers. Get back to me by tomorrow or I'll move on to my second option.

[00:49:23]>> I'm sure I can make it work.

[00:49:25]>> Smart lady.

[00:49:35]Suzanne, I'm at the beach house. Will the sellers take a 15-day escrow?

[00:49:40]The loan's not a problem. It's an allcash sale.

[00:49:45]Terrific. I'll make it happen. We're going to end this year strong. You'll see. Bye.

[00:49:55]All right. So, I pulled together a couple of the flyers like you've asked.

[00:49:59]Just take a look. see what's good.

[00:50:00]>> I want it to be a complete surprise. I want to whisk him away for the weekend.

[00:50:04]Something completely indulgent.

[00:50:06]>> Okay, so we've got a couple packages to Paris, maybe Venice.

[00:50:11]>> Paris. I like that idea. Croissants on the left bank in the morning. Ice cream on San Loui.

[00:50:19]Emily would like that. Maybe I should bring Emily. No, no, no, no. We need to be alone for this. Okay. Can you put together a package for Paris? A romantic week for two. This is just what we need right now.

[00:50:30]>> Absolutely. I will have a couple options drawn up for you tomorrow.

[00:50:33]>> Thank you, Linda. I am going to sweep Nick off his feet.

[00:50:40]>> Patient presented as an ordinary uptown woman with a boring marriage and an exciting affair.

[00:50:48]But lately, her behavior is becoming more and more inappropriate.

[00:50:53]While she does not present as a traditional depressive, more often than not, her affect is flat and dispassionate.

[00:51:01]Yet her descriptions of Sam, subject of affair, are embellished and idealized.

[00:51:07]Her descriptions of their first meeting change with each telling. I'm becoming very concerned that this whole relationship exists only in her mind.

[00:51:25]Laura, >> Charlie Willicker, >> we're going to talk.

[00:51:31]>> No, I've got to get to a meeting.

[00:51:32]>> No, no, now. No more ducking me.

[00:51:36]>> My life has been a train wreck since you passed through it.

[00:51:39]>> Oh, I thought you'd been doing well. I I I see you're doing stories on the network news now. See, I still follow your career even though we stopped seeing each other. We didn't see each other, Laura.

[00:51:51]>> Well, let's not get into that argument again.

[00:51:53]>> My wife believed that crap about us having an affair.

[00:51:56]>> Maybe because it was true.

[00:51:57]>> We didn't, Laura. It was all in that head of yours. There might have been two people in your fantasy, but there was only one of us involved here on planet Earth.

[00:52:06]>> I don't know why you feel you need to deny what we had.

[00:52:08]>> You are going to fix what you destroyed.

[00:52:10]You're going to convince Alex that there was nothing between us.

[00:52:13]>> You are hurting me.

[00:52:14]>> I have nothing more to lose.

[00:52:21]I'm sorry. I didn't know you were so hurt.

[00:52:26]>> Come with me to see her, to tell her the truth.

[00:52:29]>> Yeah, I will. You know what? I just have to get to a meeting and I can't be late.

[00:52:33]>> I'll wait. No, >> it'll be hours. I'll meet you there.

[00:52:36]>> I don't trust you.

[00:52:37]>> Well, you're going to have to if you want me to go along with this.

[00:52:42]>> All right. I'll meet you back here at 5.

[00:52:48]Don't mess with me, Laura. I know where to find you now.

[00:53:09]>> Hello.

[00:53:11]>> You wouldn't have gotten that taxi anyways. The lady with the plaid pants would arrest wrestled you to the ground for it.

[00:53:17]>> Sam, where are you?

[00:53:20]>> I don't have to be there to know where you are and what you do.

[00:53:25]>> Okay, now you're scaring me.

[00:53:29]>> You know you can't keep secrets from me.

[00:53:32]>> What is it you think you know?

[00:53:35]>> I know you miss me.

[00:53:38]>> Wrong.

[00:53:40]>> I know you miss what we have.

[00:53:43]Wrong again.

[00:53:46]>> You got the best legs in town. I'm digging the trench.

[00:53:51]>> Okay. Where are you?

[00:53:56]>> Right here.

[00:53:58]Right in front of you.

[00:54:01]Right where I always am.

[00:54:07]>> What do you think you're doing?

[00:54:08]>> Kidnapping you.

[00:54:10]>> I don't have time to be kidnapped. 1 hour. I want to take you somewhere. I want to show you that I wasn't a complete bastard.

[00:54:20]>> 1 hour.

[00:54:27]>> Where to? Pioneer Square King Street.

[00:54:47]>> Oh, she's speechless.

[00:54:54]>> She's beautiful.

[00:55:00]I don't know what to say.

[00:55:07]I really miss you.

[00:55:16]Come on.

[00:55:30]over here.

[00:55:34]>> Oh. Oh. Oh my gosh.

[00:55:39]>> Oh yeah.

[00:55:40]>> Oh, this is completely out of bounds.

[00:55:46]>> Well, you're irresistible.

[00:55:49]I'm glad one of us has a little self-control.

[00:55:53]>> So, how are things at home?

[00:55:58]>> You're just all right.

[00:56:00]>> That sounds promising.

[00:56:03]>> Tell me you miss me a little.

[00:56:05]>> I miss you a little.

[00:56:09]>> What else is it? I don't need a bad Okay, we'll get two of these.

[00:56:28]>> This is Laura.

[00:56:29]>> Laura? Hello. It's Ella Browning. I know you said you were done with this, >> but I honestly don't think that you should just walk away. I think you need to come back and see me.

[00:56:37]>> I'm fine.

[00:56:38]>> I have an opening today at 4:00.

[00:56:41]>> Thanks, but I don't need it.

[00:56:42]>> You can't just barge in here, >> [ __ ] >> You can't just barge in here.

[00:56:46]>> Where are you? CREW PLAYING GAME. WHERE IS SHE?

[00:56:48]>> LAURA, LAURA, I won't fill the appointment.

[00:56:51]>> Please do try to come. I got to go.

[00:56:55]>> Laura, let's just >> Are you looking for me, Charlie?

[00:56:58]>> No, I want to buy a condo.

[00:57:00]>> Maybe.

[00:57:00]>> Thanks, Kathy.

[00:57:03]>> Let's not do this here.

[00:57:04]>> We do this here or we do it in front of Alex, but we do it now. I'm not letting you out of my sight again. You were supposed to meet me 2 days ago. You didn't show up. You obviously didn't come to work yesterday because I was here. I waited all day. So, I am through taking you at your so-called word.

[00:57:19]Let's go.

[00:57:28]>> I expect you to tell her the truth.

[00:57:30]>> I'll tell her what you want me to tell her.

[00:57:32]>> I want you to tell her the truth.

[00:57:36]>> No, no, no. Please, please. Just 5 minutes. That's all I want.

[00:57:41]>> What is she doing here?

[00:57:42]>> Please, just listen to what she has to say. I don't want to hear anything that she has to say.

[00:57:46]>> Start talking.

[00:57:47]>> It's It's not what you think about Charlie and me. Um, we met at work and we had lunch a few times.

[00:57:53]>> You had lunch? I thought you said she was a total stranger.

[00:57:56]>> No, we didn't have lunch. We We met in the coffee shop downstairs at the counter.

[00:58:03]>> Making small talk at a lunch counter doesn't qualify as having lunch.

[00:58:06]>> She can't even get your story straight.

[00:58:07]>> No, I swear to you, that is all that happened. We chatted a couple of times and next thing I know, she's blowing our lives apart.

[00:58:15]Tell her the truth. Damn it.

[00:58:19]>> Charlie and I didn't have an affair. I wanted to, but he wouldn't.

[00:58:26]>> What about all the phone calls, the letters, the flowers that kept showing up?

[00:58:32]>> She did it all unprovoked.

[00:58:34]This whole thing is in her head.

[00:58:39]>> Is that true?

[00:58:44]Yes.

[00:58:45]>> You didn't know him?

[00:58:52]>> So, you made the whole thing up?

[00:58:55]You blew our lives apart because of some crazy fantasy?

[00:59:02]What kind of sick twist are you?

[00:59:07]>> I cared about Charlie. I am here now because I cared about Charlie, which is more than I can say for you. You didn't care enough to fight. You just ran out.

[00:59:15]First chance you got.

[00:59:18]I did it. I said what you wanted me to say. And frankly, I don't think she's worth it.

[00:59:24]Now leave me alone.

[00:59:41]Yoga, right? That's where I know you from. I managed the yoga studio. You were in that class when the teacher was killed.

[00:59:50]>> Oh, god. Right. Um, yeah. What a freak accident. I'm not sure the police think so. They've been all over my studio checking for prints, other clues.

[00:59:57]They're suspicious of some reason.

[01:00:01]Hey. Um, weren't you the woman I saw there when I left?

[01:00:04]>> I don't think so.

[01:00:06]>> Maybe I'm wrong. I I thought it was you.

[01:00:09]Did you see anyone else there?

[01:00:10]>> Like I told the police, I I really didn't notice. Look, I'm sorry to rush off like this, but I'm I'm really late.

[01:00:21]>> I'm glad you decided to come after all, Laura.

[01:00:24]Well, I'm not sure why I'm here, but lately I've been feeling bombarded by things.

[01:00:31]Um, I thought maybe talking with you.

[01:00:36]>> Well, I'm very glad you could make it.

[01:00:40]I think it's important that we talk some more.

[01:00:45]>> What do you want to talk about?

[01:00:46]>> About your relationships, especially the one with Sam.

[01:00:53]I'm concerned that your life isn't on a strong enough footing to keep you from drifting back to him.

[01:01:06]Well, the truth is I I have seen him.

[01:01:09]He uh he brought me to see a sculpture he made of me of my body.

[01:01:16]It was in a gallery near the art museum.

[01:01:20]>> I see.

[01:01:25]Sometimes our view of relationships is not completely realistic.

[01:01:31]We become so emotionally needy we create fantasies connections and we believe they're real.

[01:01:46]What's not real? You think I'm not real?

[01:01:50]You You think Sam's not real?

[01:01:52]>> Well, I I know that you're real, and I believe Sam is real, but I I wonder if your love affair with him is real.

[01:02:03]>> That's crazy.

[01:02:05]You think I'm imagining my relationship with Sam? Is that what you're saying?

[01:02:10]That's what I'm asking. Often when things aren't going well in our primary relationships, we create an escape, a connection that gives us what we need.

[01:02:22]For instance, you want to go to Rome, but you can't get there. So, you paint a picture of it on your wall, a mural, a scene.

[01:02:29]>> Thompy.

[01:02:33]That's what it's called. It's a trick.

[01:02:36]The eye.

[01:02:38]>> Well, you understand that, don't you?

[01:02:41]You did it when you were young.

[01:02:45]>> I did not imagine that man when I was young. Believe me, he was very real.

[01:02:49]>> Yes. Yes, I know. I know. But what you were doing was antithetical to your soul. So you created fantasies around it to make it more palatable.

[01:03:02]It's not unusual to recreate fantasies throughout your life because of it.

[01:03:10]Like Sam, >> let me help you get through this. Let me help you understand this. Let go of it.

[01:03:21]What you have with Nick, that's real and good and worth fighting for.

[01:03:34]I don't need help. I'm fine. Laura, please.

[01:03:39]>> You don't need to be concerned. I have everything under control.

[01:03:41]>> I don't believe that. Laura, please don't walk out. That >> what you want. I'm going.

[01:04:15]Oh sweet town.

[01:04:54]Well, everyone's amazing.

[01:05:03]I'm not sleeping with her.

[01:05:05]>> I didn't say you were.

[01:05:06]>> Not in so many words.

[01:05:07]>> I asked who she was. That's a perfectly reasonable question.

[01:05:10]>> It was how you asked.

[01:05:13]>> You know, you showed me the sculpture and I thought I meant something special to you. But I'm not a picture for a few weeks. And true to form, we moved on to someone else.

[01:05:22]>> Look, this is not what you think it is.

[01:05:23]Our singer dropped out. I called Valerie to fill in because I knew how good she is. M I can only imagine.

[01:05:31]>> I didn't come for this. You go home to your husband.

[01:05:33]>> Wait, don't walk away from me.

[01:05:35]>> Walk away from me.

[01:05:36]>> Take it easy. Stop. What is wrong with you?

[01:05:39]>> Take it easy.

[01:05:51]>> What are we doing?

[01:05:56]Don't let your side run away.

[01:06:12]Nina Panker just called. She wants you to meet her at the Magnolia Ranch House right away. She says she's got her husband right where she wants him.

[01:06:19]>> Let's hope so.

[01:06:23]Well, I like this place a lot. I just don't like being played.

[01:06:29]>> Come on, Harry. Whenever I push you into anything, you always end up thanking me.

[01:06:34]>> Like I said, I don't like being played.

[01:06:36]>> You've been saying that you're tired of apartment living, and you work so hard, and this place is perfect to come home to.

[01:06:47]>> How'd it go?

[01:06:48]>> Nah's still working on it. I think she'll get what she wants.

[01:06:53]Hey, so your client went back to the Magnolia Ranch house today.

[01:06:56]>> Not only that, but I think your guys is going to make an offer on the Mercer Island house. We're on a roll.

[01:07:01]>> You're amazing. Get them both in escrow and we've got some big time celebrating to do.

[01:07:05]>> I am all over it.

[01:07:09]>> Hi, ma'am.

[01:07:10]>> Are you still the hottest property in the office?

[01:07:13]>> You say that to all the brokers.

[01:07:16]>> Only the ones I have to cancel. And I'm sorry, babe. I can't do it tonight.

[01:07:20]That's okay. I I if you hadn't cancelled, I I would have cancelled myself. Um I really want to make my marriage work, Sam.

[01:07:33]>> Well, if that's what you want, then that's what I want for you.

[01:07:38]>> Thanks. I know you mean that.

[01:07:43]Got to go.

[01:08:07]Hello.

[01:08:09]>> Hello. Um, I must have dialed the wrong number. Sorry.

[01:08:19]Hello.

[01:08:20]>> Hello. Um, >> are you looking for Sam?

[01:08:26]>> Yes. Who's this?

[01:08:28]>> Valerie. Who's this?

[01:08:31]>> A friend. Where's Sam?

[01:08:33]>> Um, he's in the shower.

[01:08:36]>> Can I give him a message?

[01:08:56]Huh? I wanted to see you one last time so I could keep this image in my mind in case I ever weaken.

[01:09:01]>> What are you talking about?

[01:09:05]>> It should never surprise me to catch you in a lie, but somehow it always does.

[01:09:09]Where is she? Where's who?

[01:09:11]>> Valerie, I called you back. I didn't want to be cruel. I wanted you to know how difficult it was for me to let you go. I opened my heart to you. You did it again.

[01:09:26]Strawberries and chocolate. What's that about?

[01:09:31]>> You're a liar. I TRUSTED YOU.

[01:09:34]>> HEY, LISTEN. LISTEN. Valerie means nothing to me. just crashing here. Okay, I swear to you.

[01:09:43]Just relax, sit down, and get you a glass of wine. I'm saving this for when I fix your dinner next, but clearly now's a better time.

[01:10:09]Where you going?

[01:10:10]>> Go to hell.

[01:10:29]Heat.

[01:10:42]Heat.

[01:10:50]Heat.

[01:11:09]Heat.

[01:11:15]Ah, heat.

[01:12:04]Are you insane? Are you out of your mind? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THAT HORN COSTS? FORGET THAT it meant something to me. AND JUST FOR THE RECORD, NOT THAT IT'S any of your business, I'm not sleeping with Valerie.

[01:12:16]>> Oh, stop it already. I'm not a fool.

[01:12:18]>> And neither am I. She's got a boyfriend back home that weighs in at about 280.

[01:12:23]She's staying with me until her place is ready.

[01:12:28]What? What is this place?

[01:12:31]Who lives here?

[01:12:37]This is you.

[01:12:39]>> Get the hell out.

[01:12:41]>> This is your place.

[01:12:42]>> Get out of here.

[01:12:44]>> Hey, you live here alone.

[01:13:02]There's no husband, is there?

[01:13:06]>> No child either. You're out of your mind, aren't you, Laura?

[01:13:11]>> Get out of my life.

[01:13:16]>> Leave me. I'm going.

[01:13:23]Who's this doctor?

[01:13:26]>> Is he real? And does he exist?

[01:13:29]Of >> course he's real.

[01:13:33]>> Somebody better warn the poor bastard.

[01:13:47]>> Wait, Sam, you can't do this. Let me explain.

[01:13:50]>> I know everything I need to know. You're insane.

[01:13:53]>> No, please don't.

[01:13:54]>> Get help, Laura. You need professional help.

[01:13:58]>> Don't >> let me get you to a doctor. Please.

[01:14:00]>> No. Please. I know you want to destroy my family. Please don't.

[01:14:04]>> This is out of hand. You need help.

[01:14:05]You're going to hurt somebody.

[01:14:06]>> I don't want to hurt anybody.

[01:14:14]>> I just don't want you to upset Nick.

[01:14:51]My piano will look amazing in this corner. Oh, it's the perfect place for it.

[01:14:57]>> Harry just loves this room, you know.

[01:14:59]>> Oh, well, I'm glad to see you got him to come around.

[01:15:01]>> I always do once I convince him it's his idea.

[01:15:06]I'm going to cook up a storm in this kitchen.

[01:15:09]>> Oh, this is a wonderful place for family dinners.

[01:15:12]>> You're right. It will be perfect.

[01:15:16]Why are they selling?

[01:15:20]>> They are no longer together.

[01:15:22]>> You're kidding.

[01:15:24]Everything seems so perfect.

[01:15:29]I'm sure it was at one time.

[01:15:32]Some things aren't meant to last forever.

[01:15:36]Well, we want to buy it.

[01:15:43]I did it. I got an offer on the Magnolia Ranch House.

[01:15:46]>> A good one. Close to asking.

[01:15:47]>> Oh my gosh, you are amazing.

[01:15:49]>> Well, your clients want me to present the offer tonight.

[01:15:52]>> Tonight? Oh, that won't work. I need to leave for Bainbridge Island in an hour.

[01:15:58]>> Oh, hell. You made it happen. You can handle it alone.

[01:16:01]>> Why don't you make the offer and I'll discuss it with him after and we'll fax the counters in the morning.

[01:16:06]>> Sounds great.

[01:16:06]>> He usually gets home around 6:00 to have dinner with his kid.

[01:16:10]>> Well done.

[01:16:11]>> Thank you.

[01:16:26]Hello, >> Laura. It's Ella Browning.

[01:16:30]>> Hello.

[01:16:31]>> I'm glad I finally reached you. You haven't been returning my calls.

[01:16:35]>> Oh, I've been busy.

[01:16:37]>> Laura, I read about Sam in the paper. That was yours, Sam, wasn't it?

[01:16:45]>> It said he was a musician. He worked at the jazz club on 65th.

[01:16:50]>> Sad, isn't it?

[01:16:52]>> They say he was mugged in the street.

[01:16:55]>> You must be devastated.

[01:16:58]>> I am.

[01:17:00]>> Laura, have you talked to the police?

[01:17:06]>> Why would I?

[01:17:07]>> I thought you might have something to tell them.

[01:17:09]>> What could I tell them? I wasn't there.

[01:17:15]>> Does it not bother you, Laura, that the man you say you were involved with was murdered in the street?

[01:17:20]>> I don't say anything. That's your fantasy.

[01:17:23]>> Sam was very real. Frankly, I'm starting to feel harassed.

[01:17:28]>> I'm just concerned about you, Laura.

[01:17:30]That's all. That's why I'm calling.

[01:17:33]>> No, it's not. You want to involve me in Sam's death somehow.

[01:17:37]>> Well, I'm not going there. It was a random street crime. That's what the papers say and I believe them.

[01:17:43]>> Well, I don't.

[01:17:44]>> What's that supposed to mean?

[01:17:47]>> It means I think you need help, Laura.

[01:17:52]>> It means I don't believe any of this happened the way you say it did.

[01:17:58]>> I think you need to come and see me.

[01:18:01]>> You know, I think I do, too.

[01:18:24]What are you going to do? Huh? Emily.

[01:18:27]Emily, where'd you go?

[01:18:29]>> Mommy. Mommy. Baby.

[01:18:32]>> Oh, there's no help.

[01:18:44]Good job.

[01:19:27]Hello, Mrs. Please come in. Hello, Yolanda.

[01:19:34]Dr. Jarrett, Laura Phillips.

[01:19:37]>> Oh, hi.

[01:19:38]>> We haven't formally met, but I've seen you showing the house, of course.

[01:19:43]>> Hello, Emily. It's good to see you again.

[01:19:46]Um, listen, I brought something for you.

[01:19:49]You like charm bracelets, don't you?

[01:19:52]>> Oh, you bet. We collect them.

[01:19:55]>> Well, I like this little bear the best.

[01:19:59]Me, too.

[01:20:01]>> Put your hand up.

[01:20:06]>> There you go.

[01:20:09]>> Wow. Huh.

[01:20:10]>> Now, let me show you what I brought for you.

[01:20:14]You'll need to discuss this offer with Suzanne and then respond by 7:00 tomorrow night.

[01:20:27]It's a good price.

[01:20:31]>> Yeah, I'm sure we can make this work.

[01:20:33]>> My clients would be very pleased.

[01:20:44]>> My wife and I, we were we were happier.

[01:20:52]I heard about what happened.

[01:20:55]Yeah. My deepest condolences.

[01:20:59]>> Thank you.

[01:21:02]We had um planned on moving downtown to shorten my commute so I could spend more time with family.

[01:21:12]Well, I guess that's more important now than ever, isn't it?

[01:21:24]That was so pretty.
