"GIARDELLO:" "Check with the building to see if they have any surveillance tapes, find out if there were any guests in the last 12 hours that she might have had." "You know, her other slipper's up here." "Yeah?" "Well, I'm just saying, it's improbable that somebody would wanna walk down the stairs with one slipper." "Well, it's late at night, she wants to go to the bathroom, she forgets her slipper." "She's disoriented, you know?" "There's only one point of impact and it's severe enough that she fell from a 12foot height, not rolling down the stairs." "You're right." "What are you on, Twitter?" "Put the phone away."

"She wasn't dead yet when I found her." "No." "We got a call, the tenant down below, Henderson, they heard a real loud..." "And I raced to..." "And the door was unlocked, which is quite unusual for a building like this, I'll tell you that." "But it seemed as if she were still trying to speak." "What was she trying to say?"

"When you get her out of her apartment," "I install some computer software so that when she goes online, we'll be able to get her banking password." "Right." "Got it." "Got it?" "LILLIAN:" "It's like stealing the identity of a ghost." "CHARLIE:" "Exactly." "She wants to remain hidden." "And after we've got the money, who the hell is she gonna run to?" "We've got her account information, her social security number, her signature, but we still need to get your fake ID." "It's just so perfect." "We're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars." "No more nickel and dime shit." "Just sunsets and mimosas, baby." "And once we get the password we're home free." "Happy birthday." "Thank you." "I love you, baby." "I love you." "LILLIAN:" "Abigail, please!" "What is he doing in my apartment?" "He's been drinking!" "Abigail!" "He's been drinking." "You can't, no." "He gets really violent." "You don't want him to hit you." "You don't want him to hit you." "You know what it feels like." "Stay here." "Hey!" "That's not my apartment." "(CHUCKLES)" "I'm right here." "I'm right here." "Abigail." "I wanna go home." "I live in here and this is how I want it." "I want to be alone." "This is how I want it." "You did a great job tonight, Abby." "I cannot have people in my life." "I cannot have people in my life." "I cannot have you in my life." "If he is in your life, I can't..." "No, I wanna be alone I wanna be alone." "I wanna be alone." "Okay." "Okay." "I'm really sorry about Charlie." "Stop apologizing." "He's..." "He is dangerous and he will only end up hurting you more than he already has." "Please go." "Okay." "Please go." "Thank you so much for dinner tonight, Abigail." "ANSWERING MACHINE First new message." "Sent today at 9:17 p.m." "(ON PHONE) Mr. Stanford?" "It's Joe Klandermann." "I guess now I should call you Charlie since we go back, huh?" "Anyway, if you're having trouble remembering me, think back 12 years ago to a holding cell." "Rah way Prison?" "Remember?" "You were about to do a five year stretch on some con and I was on my way out after doing a deuce." "Good times." "Yeah." "Enough reminiscing." "Meet me at the coffee shop around the corner on 59th Street right after I get off work." "We need to talk." "You're gonna cut me in on whatever scam you're running, Charlie." "I don't know what it is, of course, but you living here means it's gotta be big." "Yeah." "Don't make me wait, partner." "Damn it." "(CHOKING)" "(GRUNTS)" "(GRUNTING)" "You're crazy attacking me!" "(HONKING)" "You're a dead man!" "You hear me?" "You're a dead..." "(PEOPLE SCREAMING)" "Tonight's top story is the bizarre death of a wanted felon on Columbus Circle." "We go now live to Diane Weiss, who's on the scene." "Apparently, Diane, the man was strangled before being hit by a bus?" "Yes, Ginger." "Police believe the victim may have been fleeing from an attacker." "However, the victim, Joseph Klandermann, whose real name was Nathaniel Muskit, was a wanted felon." "Charlie?" "Muskit disappeared nearly 12 years ago and had eluded authorities for that long." "Charlie?" "He was convicted in 1998 for running a Ponzi scheme that bilked investors..." "You killed Klandermann?" "Charlie?" "Charlie, we don't kill people!" "Lillian." "No, Charlie." "This is the one." "This is the one we've been waiting for, Charlie!" "He could have turned us in." "I made a decision to protect us." "You made a stupid decision, Charlie." "I don't wanna run from the cops!" "You don't have to be scared." "Okay?" "It's gonna be fine." "(PHONE BEEPING)" "It's okay." "LILLIAN:" "What does that say?" "He wants to see us." "Yeah." "Klandermann's dead, Ray." "He's dead." "RAYMOND:" "I know, I heard." "Are you all right?" "I don't know." "I don't know." "What am I gonna do?" "They will get a new concierge." "Ray, you know I can't trust a new concierge." "I can't trust a new concierge." "Klandermann had been here so long." "How am I gonna trust a new concierge, Ray?" "Ray, I need to see you." "I can't right now." "I promise I'll come by later." "Please, Ray?" "I really need to see you." "I'll see you later tonight." "You just relax." "Take a long breath now." "For me, okay?" "Bye." "(SIGHS)" "This has gotten completely out of hand." "I understand." "No, I don't think you do." "It's all over the television." "I mean, Mrs. Lonnigan was one thing." "That had to be done." "And so did Klandermann." "Charlie?" "But there was a mistake made with Mrs. Lonnigan." "What are you talking about?" "What is he talking about?" "When were you gonna tell me this, Charlie?" "This is not the time or the place for this." "Ray, what do you mean "mistake"?" "There was obviously a serious error made." "We wanted to talk to you about, uh, Mrs. Hilary Lonnigan." "The police were here, investigating a homicide, not a slip and fall of an 82 year-old woman." "I don't make mistakes." "Oh, apparently, you do." "Otherwise they wouldn't be investigating a homicide, Charles." "Jesus Christ." "Now thanks to me, Mrs. Lonnigan lived a long and prosperous life, three years longer than I anticipated, and there's only a certain amount of time one can wait." "But this is over now." "We need to discuss an exit strategy." "No, there is no exit strategy." "We're one e-mail away from a fortune." "Charles, how long do you think it's gonna take for them to figure out" "I'm the one who owns the apartment?" "That I paid for the whole thing?" "It's my money!" "Once they figure that out, it's a short walk in the park for them to put together who Abigail is." "And what we're all up to." "We need to discuss an exit strategy." "He may be right, Lillian." "It's just a shame." "Well, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go water my plants, get over to Abigail's, take out her trash, pick up her cleaning, and give her a foot massage to calm her down," "thanks to you." "I guess I'm doomed to take care of this woman the rest of my life." "(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)" "What do we do?" "Let me try to talk to him" "(DOOR OPENS)" "(CHOKING)" "(CHARLIE PANTING)" "(GRUNTING)" "Lillian." "Please go in the house and make it look like it was robbed." "Okay?" "(SIGHS)" "Did you roll the body?" "Yeah." "Did you get the phone?" "It wasn't in the house?" "No." "(GROANS)" "(EXHALES DEEPLY)" "It has all our information." "I know." "Do we walk?" "No." "No." "We don't walk." "We're too close." "With no money, how far would we get?" "Look, we knew that if things went wrong we'd have a backup plan, and we do." "Okay?" "We have to force her hand." "Okay?" "We have to do it now." "It's gonna be okay." "(LILLIAN BANGING ON DOOR)" "Please!" "Please, I need you!" "Open up!" "Hurry, please!" "Please!" "Open up!" "Let me in!" "Open the door and let me in!" "He's gonna kill me, Abigail!" "Please!" "Please, Abigail!" "Open the door, please!" "Please, Abigail!" "Please!" "(LILLIAN SCREAMS)" "Open the door!" "Open the door!" "Oh, my God!" "Charlie, calm down!" "Calm down!" "Think you're gonna leave me?" "No, I'm not, I swear!" "Huh?" "You gonna leave me?" "I'm not gonna leave you, Charlie!" "Please!" "(SHRIEKS) I'm sorry!" "I'm sorry!" "Okay?" "(COCKS GUN) No, no, no." "No!" "Don't you..." "Bitch!" "Get back here!" "(GRUNTS)" "LILLIAN:" "Gimme the gun!" "(GRUNTS)" "Gimme the gun!" "The gun!"

"Charlie, no!" "Charlie, wake up!" "Wake up, Charlie, my baby." "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God!" "Charlie, wake up!" "Wake up, Charlie!" "You killed him, Abigail!" "What have you done?" "What have you done?" "No!" "I didn't do it." "No, you did." "You shot him!" "No!" "My baby." "Oh, Charlie." "I have to call someone." "Charlie, don't leave me." "(CELL PHONE RINGING)" "Abigail, no, you can't call anybody!" "Are you crazy?" "Nobody can know about this." "No, Abigail!" "We just murdered Charlie." "We have to leave." "We have to get out of here." "No, no, I can't go anywhere!" "We're one e-mail away from a fortune." "I'm all alone and I don't know what to do now and I need to go." "Please, Abigail, help me." "We need to scrape whatever money we can together and I need to get out of here." "Okay?" "I have money." "I don't have any cash." "We can transfer money from my account." "And once we get the password we're home free." "I wish I could talk to Ray." "No, you can't talk to Ray." "You can't talk to anybody." "I trust him." "Look at me." "We can only trust each other now." "Okay?" "Mmm-hmm." "Okay." "Really?" "Are you kidding me?" "You're positive?" "Same guy?" "So what'd you find out?" "Well, I don't think that this is an "M" you brought me, Detective." "What do you mean?" "I think it's a..." "And if it is, it could very well be the crest for the Waters family." "Are you familiar with the Waters family?" "Yeah, of course, of course." "Yeah." "This is incredibly exciting." "Is there any chance that you could tell me exactly where you saw this?" "I'm sorry, I can't do that." "I just found out Mrs. Lonnigan's apartment was paid for by a corporation." "Apparently, she was a nanny for some rich family." "Guess who runs the corporation?" "Who?" "Dr. Raymond Fontaine." "Really?" "Let's go pay the good doctor a visit." "Thanks, Howie." "Anytime, Frank." "EAANS:" "The porch was repainted." "Anything?" "No." "(DOG BARKING)" "Dr. Fontaine?" "Hello?" "NYPD." "I'll go this way." "(DOG WHIMPERING)" "Frank." "Check this out" "(PHONE RINGING)" "Ray, Ray..." "(CELL PHONE RINGING)" "It's not mine." "LILLIAN:" "I'm heading out." "Why don't you go take a shower and by the time you're ready," "I will be back." "Okay." "And then we'll take care of..." "Don't go anywhere." "Where would I go?" "(PHONE RINGING)" "Miss Clayton, it's Detective Giardello." "Yes, Detective?" "Look, I'm not calling with the best of news." "My partner and I tracked down Dr. Fontaine and I'm sorry to inform you that he was found dead." "He's been murdered." "If you are who I think you are, I think you're at the center of something very dangerous." "I'm sorry, Miss Clayton." "What do I do?" "Look, we're on our way." "We're gonna be there in an hour." "Don't leave and don't answer the door, all right?" "Thank you, Detective." "(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)" "Let's go." "I just know I don't wanna be involved." "I think you should have her for dinner." "I wanna take you outside." "She reminded me of..." "Well, you know, you were there." "Well, I was..." "I was just a child then." "No, you can't talk to Ray." "You can't talk to anybody." "You've gotta trust me, girl." "Excuse me." "I'd like to see someone about closing an account." "That would be Mr. Ross, the bank manager." "His desk is right over there." "Thank you." "(CELL PHONE RINGING)" "Giardello." "Detective, this is Abigail Clayton." "We're on our way." "Ls everything all right?" "On your way?" "Yeah, since we last spoke." "Since we last spoke?" "Two weeks ago?" "No, we spoke less than a half hour ago." "No, you must be mistaken." "I was in the shower." "I didn't take any calls." "That wasn't you I was talking to?" "No." "Oh, my God." "How can I help you?" "I'd like to close out an account." "All right." "You can hang on to this." "All righty." "Account closure." "Um..." "May I have the account pass code, please?" "Hulahoop14." "Oh..." "(COMPUTER BEEPS)" "Oh, there we go." "All right, Miss Clayton." "Everything appears to be in order here." "Wonderful." "Now, before we finish, I'm required to ask you a few questions." "I apologize." "It'll just take a few minutes of your time." "Justine Waters has decided to come out of hiding." "Out of ink." "Oh, it's gonna be one of those days, all right." "She will be at the Waters Bank, 59th and Broadway." "All right." "Were you at anytime dissatisfied with our service?" "No." "Glad to hear it." "She goes by the name Abigail Clayton and..." "May I ask, what are your reasons for withdrawing your money?" "She'll be wearing a black dress." "I'm leaving the country." "Wonderful!" "Are you going to Europe?" "I was just in Paris with my fiancée." "We stayed at..." "Oh, God, what is the name of that hotel?" "It was great." "It had these butlers in it and..." "Oh, man, what is the name of that hotel?" "(INDISTINCT TALKING OVER RADIO)" "Excuse me." "Fellas, how's it going?" "Looks like you guys got a busy day ahead of you, huh?" "Make sure you stay hydrated out there."

"Leaving things till the last minute, huh?" "A woman after my own heart." "My father always says, "If you didn't do it at the last minute,"" ""you didn't do it right."" "That's funny." "Yeah." "He's a funny guy." "Finally, is there anything we can do to improve?" "No." "You've been great." "Well, thank you." "Okay." "So..."

"What are you doing here?" "I left." "I couldn't stay there any more." "You made sure of that." "Can we go someplace and talk?" "I don't think there's time for that, Abigail" "I made some phone calls." "Phone calls?" "Yeah." "I called a whole bunch of people." "I mean, you've been in hiding for a long time." "This is your big coming out party, Abigail." "Why do you keep calling me Abigail?" "That's what you told the man your name was." "Didn't you?" "That's what you wanted to do." "Steal my life, look like me, steal my money." "Or maybe it's Justine." "I'm sorry." "I have so much to tell you." "Gee, I don't think we have much time, so I hope it's not a long story." "Please." "There's gotta be another way." "You should leave." "Go." "There's a body in your apartment." "MAN:" "Black dress, black dress." "Excuse me!" "Excuse me, are you Justine Waters?"
