"Oh, there he is." "Zach Morstein, in the flesh." "Boy genius." "Inventor of the latest get-laid-quick program for the socially challenged." "What an honor." " Hannah." " Hannah had me sitting in reception with my thumb up my bum for six whole minutes which, for me, is five minutes too long." "SeekOut." "That the best you could come up with?" "Too rude to be a reporter, too wrinkled to be an attorney." "He says, referring to the lawsuit, which should have him changing his underwear three times a day." "So you founded the company with these two." "And then you nobbled the one on the left, using some legal loophole just before you were about to make billions." "And you enjoyed every minute of it." "You read microexpressions." "Saw an article on that once." "Kyle wouldn't risk his lawsuit on some mind reader so you must be working for Claire." "In the time you spent developing this program did it ever occur to you to just buy a girl a drink?" "So I just point the phone at a girl that I fancy then I sniff through her laundry, just a little bit until I figure out what it takes to get into her panties." "Excuse me?" "Claire and I have been friends since freshman year." "Tell her she's safe." "Define safe." "Dream Send me a sign" "Turn back the clock Give me some time" "I need to break out And make a new name" "Let's open our eyes To the brand new day" " Okay, Claire, you were right." " You were about to get shafted." "You just told me Zach said I was safe." "With a smirk on his face." "That's contempt, that is." "So you're saying he is going to squeeze me out..." " ...just like he did to Kyle." " Now that you know that, you can be ready." "You can fight back." "I don't wanna fight Zach." "He's my best friend." "Who you sent me to suss out." "You do that to all your best friends?" "You may have been close once, but you're not now." "So, what happened?" "Things change." " Such as?" " He's changed." "And you haven't." "Maybe SeekOut has changed both of you." "Business is never easy." "This isn't just business, is it?" "This is personal." "What'd you do?" " Nothing." " Well, that's not what he thinks." "So this is my fault?" "Are you asking or are you saying?" " Cal." " What?" "Come on." "That's all right, love." "Give me time." "I'm very good at this." " Thank you for your help." " You're welcome." "Gillian, you've always been there for me." " Claire, I did try to warn you." " And I thought we were best friends." "Thank you." "I'm so sorry this is happening to you, Claire." "Don't be." "I own part of a billion-dollar company." "According to Dr. Lightman the smartest person I know is planning to take it." "You're welcome." "At least now I know the intelligent move is to hire the best lawyer I can." "I'll call you later." ""Shafted"?" "I asked you to be gentle, and you opened with "shafted"?" "I was being gentle." "You should've seen the bastard's face." " As her therapist..." " Ex-therapist." "You work with me now." " This is that personal to you, is it?" " Sound like anyone you know?" "Now, hang on." "No, it'll come to me." "It's on the tip of my tongue." "I'm so glad I work with you now for Claire's sake." "It puts me in a much better position to protect her from this Zach person." " You can do that without prejudice?" " Oh, now you're just being silly." "The day Kyle was fired, his shares were diluted and his stake in the company went from 25 percent to 2." "Kyle sued Zach the next day." "Says SeekOut was his idea, and Zach took all the credit." "Best friends at each other's throats, with Claire caught in the middle." "Well, she picked a side pretty quickly." "Everything I've read..." " ...said she's a loyal member of Team Zach." " You don't know her." "So I take it Claire is like family or something?" "She's a paying client." " Don't look at me like that." " You know, we're on your side, Foster." "Good." "Stop pushing, okay?" "According to Lightman, and I'm just saying, Claire is hiding something." "She's torn between two friends." "Friends mean the world to Claire." "I mean, if Kyle asked for her help, she'd give it." "So this diluted shares thing." "I mean, could Zach do that to Claire too?" "Depends on her contract." "Which we don't have." "Yeah, which is weird, since she hired us." "She did hire us, right?" "You're doing it again." "Actually, to be fair, you're doing that thing you hate when Lightman does it." "A personal favor on company time." "Dr. Lightman?" "Screw you." "Where you going?" "Marquis Turner." "It's Key." "Just Key." "Street name?" "You have Ria send me into your office for an interview just so happened to have a hundred bucks lying around as some test?" " You was gonna take it." " I didn't." " That's because you knew I was watching." " I'm smarter than that." "So are you Ria's charity case, are you?" " Come on, don't knock charity." " Who's knocking it?" "There was a time once, where I come from, all I had was charity." "She warned me about you." "Is this the interview?" "So is that why you're here, then?" "A little Latina action?" "Yeah, that, and a job." " What kind of job?" " One that pays." " What, makes an honest man out of you?" " Come on." "Did I say that?" "Here." " What you want me to do with this?" " Follow him." "You work it out." "Expenses." "Heart problem?" "More like lungs." " We just ran 3 miles." " What are you doing, Liam?" " He's about to stretch my hamstrings." " This is the best way." "How's that feel, Em?" " Deep breaths." " Oh, yeah." "How you doing, Dad?" " Where's my gun?" " He has to do this or else I get stiff." " Other leg." " Okay." "I'll get it, son." " Dad, you're hurting me." " No pain, no gain." "Right, Liam?" " Come on, I'm not a turkey." " You're not doing it right." "Oh, terribly sorry." "Oh, yeah." "Just like that." "Oh, yeah." "You have no idea how happy I am you called, Foster." "Slow down, darling." "I was too late." "I just came by to check on her." "I was trying to save her." "Come here, darling." "Thank you." "Here." "You catch a lot of criminals in that getup, do you?" "Foster, you okay?" "You called her?" "Shock." "Drink your water." "Forty minutes it took you to get here." "I was off-duty and it's a big city." " Nice date, was it?" " You got a problem with that?" "No, I got a problem with a young girl just been killed." "And the floor's just fallen out of Gill's world." "Which is why I got here as fast as could to add this homicide to the pile of five others I already have on my desk." "Yeah." "You're the one that's having a rough night." "And I noticed the door was open." "It was cracked just a little." "Um..." "So I went in." "She was still breathing." "I took my scarf and I put, uh, pressure on the wound and it got soaked really fast." "So then I called 911 and, um, then I called you." "And then I kept my hands there for, uh, what felt like forever until the paramedics arrived." "And was anyone there when you arrived?" "Outside, maybe?" "No, I don't think so, but I wasn't..." "You know, I didn't, uh, know that Claire had been hurt so I wasn't..." "I wasn't looking for that." "I'm very sorry for your loss, Gillian." "I'll take that cup of coffee now, please." "That's Kyle." "You should take Dr. Foster home now." "He's the one suing Zach Morstein." "What's he doing here?" "SeekOut app on Claire's phone puts Kyle at her apartment at the time of the murder." "He's not you killer." "If he was, he'd have guilt all over him." "He's scared." "He's confused." "Maybe he's hiding the guilt." "The nearest cell tower also puts Kyle at Claire's apartment." "Our techs say that's impossible to fake." "Your techs, have they met Zach Morstein?" "I go with the evidence I've got." "That's my job." "Do cops have good health insurance?" " What?" " For hearing loss." "Listen to me very carefully." "That is not your killer." "Do you know what half a billion dollars worth of angry feels like?" "Can we go now?" "Home?" "Seriously?" "That's my girl." "You didn't even take the night off." "Claire would be touched to know how much she meant to you." "Do you know who I am?" "Who I was to Claire?" "You're a shrink and Claire had emotional problems." "Inflection went down when you said her name." "You want control." "Vocal stress analysis." "Awesome." " Which one of you reads palms?" " I bet yours are sweaty." "And hairy." "Maybe this was a suicide." "Or maybe you killed her." "I'm guessing you have trust issues." "It's not really a guess seeing as I know you keep Googling your daughter's boyfriend, Liam." "Claire was your best friend, but she was hiding something from you." "I just love watching your little brain work." "It's adorable." "If I was gonna kill anyone, wouldn't I kill Kyle?" "The man who's taking you to court." "That would make you a prime suspect." "Ah, but I'm a super genius." "I would just kill him and frame someone else." "Or is that sounding a little far-fetched?" "Claire was screwing you." "I don't mean like that." "You haven't got the guts to buy a girl a drink." "I mean, she was screwing you business-wise." "Yeah." "I mean like that." "She had a secret, and you know it." "Interesting." "If you knew exactly what she was hiding." "But you don't." " This face-reading thing really works, huh?" " I met a little boy once." "He was about 10." "He didn't have to say anything." "I knew just what he did." "His eyebrows were raised up." "Just like yours are now, and his jaw was slack." "He couldn't believe what he had just gone and done." "You are so bloody clever." "You can figure out just about anything." "Except people, which is what pisses you off the most." "Claire turned on you." "And just like that little boy, you threw a wobbler." "But instead of kicking the family cat, like him you killed your best friend." "Hackers in China tried to take down our servers last year." "They failed." "They broke into Google, but they couldn't beat my code." "If I was going to kill anyone, it would be just like my programs." "Totally airtight." "That's a sworn statement saying SeekOut's entirely my creation and Kyle Putnam is due nothing." "Claire signed this two days ago." "So you see, Claire didn't turn on me." "She wasn't going to help Kyle." "Unlike you and your cat, I had no reason to kill her." "Did you know that Einstein couldn't do maths?" "Every genius has his weakness, genius." "You been to the doctor yet?" "About your ears?" "Kyle called Claire three times the day she was murdered." "Why would he do that?" "Not for nothing, but when I got him in interview he looked pretty guilty to me." "Well, if you tell someone often enough that they're guilty, pretty soon they're gonna start looking guilty, don't you think?" "I'm right about him." "Well, then shouldn't you be out there feeling his collar instead of flirting with me?" "Feeling his collar?" "Arresting him." "Or just to cover your ass you could get Zach and Kyle and put them in the cube." "Sounds like a hot date to me." "Well, Kyle is hiding behind the great wall of lawyers." "And as for Zach, I can't just haul people in here accuse them of murder without a good reason." "I'm telling you he did it." "You and Foster went through a lot last night." "You got an ax to grind here, and I understand that but I don't need your help with this one." "If you need mine, just ask." "Is it like a ringing noise in your ears?" "Do you want me to take a look at that for you?" "I am a doctor, you know." " Can I help you?" " Depends." "You got any mustard?" "That's a first edition from Lightman's office." "Why do people do that?" " Do what?" " Say "Can I help you" when you really mean "Who the hell are you?"" "Mustard?" "Fridge." "And I know who you are." " Well, who are you?" " Loker." "Eli." " Door." " Mm." "Did Lightman hire you?" "Gave me a hundred bucks." "Oh, for what?" "Charity." "That doesn't really sound like Lightman." "What's he got you doing?" "I need to know what you got from Zach's employees." "We are scouring the web." "We're looking for anyone who Zach may have recently fired." "Maybe one will know something about the secret between Zach and Claire." "Kyle knows more about Zach and Claire than anyone." "We need to get him talking." "You're gonna clean that up?" "That's not my mess." "So you're not gonna clean it up, then." "Nice place, this." "Good coffee, free Wi-Fi, no cellmates." "Relax." "Calm down, I'm on your side." "So did you really call Claire the day she was killed or did Zach plant that evidence too?" " What'd you talk about?" " I'm not, uh, saying anything..." " ...without my attorneys." " Then you're screwed, aren't you?" " What do you mean?" " When I was about 10 my dad accused me of smoking one of his cheap cigars." "He said if I come clean, he'd forget about it." "So I told him that I did it." "And that bastard walloped me anyway." "I mean, he really went to town on me." " What's this have to do with my lawyers?" " Nothing." "They're great if you negotiate for 25 percent of the company." "But 25 percent of a life sentence for a crime you didn't commit..." "Well, then you're getting walloped anyway, aren't you?" "You trying to clear your name?" "When we were in college, Zach liked this girl, but he was too shy to talk to her." "So he hacked the local cell network and read her texts to try to get to know her." "Now, these programs, they left these hidden files." "Like bread crumbs." "Now if Zach left these same files last night, I can prove that he's framing me." "No power at home?" "Plenty." "It's just that the news vans are a little distracting." "Why'd you call her?" "We were still friends." "I heard Zach was pissed after your visit." "I just..." "I wanted to make sure she was okay." "Okay." "I've got power at my office." "And Wi-Fi." "No news vans, though." "Come on." "By the way, I did smoke that cigar." "Just saying." "So, what're you looking for, detective?" "Not exactly sure yet." "Still waiting on the autopsy report." "Some people read faces." "I read crime scenes." "Oh, yeah?" "School books in a million dollar penthouse." "Little girl making grown-up money." "Oy." "You read this yet, detective?" "How do you reckon Grandma ended up face down by the sofa?" "Knocked over in the struggle." "Okay." "What?" "What, in the middle of a crime scene?" "Foster would kill me." "Not if you don't tell her." " Seriously?" " Are you smoking crack?" "Right, yeah." "No." "Yeah." "Bear with me." "You're gonna love this one." "You're Claire." "Claire had sex before she was killed." "Oh, my God, you're good." "Sound waves crash on my head" "I can't seem to get away" "I can't seem to get away" "Well, aren't you the lady killer?" "Are you familiar with Einstein's definition of insanity?" "Yup." "Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." "It's kind of like you, really." "Coming in here, night after night thinking that this will be the night you finally belong." "Well, actually, I'm surrounded by friends." "And ignoring the people right next to you." " But they're not ignoring me." " Well, yeah." "You're a young billionaire." "It's open season." " Especially now you're single." " I was wondering how long it was gonna take to land on sex as a motive." "That wasn't my idea." "I got it from Claire." "There's a proportional relationship between how crazy a girl is and how slutty she is." "Claire had been in therapy for years." " You do the math." " So the whore had it coming." "Claire was so lucky to have you in her life." "You know who's really nuts?" "Therapists." "Your friend Foster must be a real hellcat." "All that anger just over sex." "You're Freud's wet dream, you are." "Take a good long look, Lightman." "Claire and I were best friends." "Nothing more." "Period." "Well, someone had sex with her before she was killed." "Wasn't me." "I had nothing to do with this." "Now, if you'll excuse me I have a funeral to attend in the morning, and I'd really like to get drunk first." " Morning, sunshine." " Oh." "Uh, I wanna show you something." "Why didn't you tell us about you and Claire?" " What?" " Claire." " You were sleeping with her, weren't you?" " No, I was not." ""Was not."" "As opposed to "wasn't."" " Extra emphasis to sell the lie." " I can't talk about this." "Why?" "Because you're the one who killed her?" "No." "I'm the one that found her, remember?" "And I watched her choke while I tried to stop the bleeding." " Please." " But the hole that the knife made it was just too big." "I didn't kill her." "I swear." "Now tell me you didn't love her." "Now, why would he keep that a secret?" "You got me." "Claire was smart, funny, beautiful." "Guess she just didn't mean that much to you." "You don't know Zach." "He invades your life." "He controls everything." " Why were you friends with him?" " You don't decide to be friends with Zach." "He decides for you." "Being friends with Zach has its benefits." "Nice watch, by the way." "When Claire and I started we knew that Zach would freak, and so we agreed to keep it secret." "But Zach found out somehow." " You know this for a fact?" " He never said a word." "But one day he trusted me, and the next I was out." "It looked like Claire was next." "You need to tell someone this, Kyle." "The fact that I was sleeping with her makes me look more guilty." "But I found the bread crumbs." "I think so." "I just need to run a few more tests." "All right, run them." "Stop." "Go back." "You totally lost me." "These were the invisibles that Zach left." "And if we can trace them back to his IP..." "That sounds like a doddle." "What's an invisible?" "It's a hidden file." "Well, actually these are more like ghost files." "Does anyone here speak English?" "No." " No." " What the hell did you do?" "It's not me, it's Zach." "He planted a worm." "You set off a virus in my network?" " What's it doing now?" " It's deleting everything." "Your files, mine, the damn bread crumbs." "No matter how smart you think you are, Zach is always smarter." "I can trace the virus." "Prove that he destroyed evidence." "No, don't bother." "It's bound to be perfect." "Totally airtight." "Just lost the only proof that Zach framed me." "What am I supposed to do?" "Mexico is nice." "Shazza." "I have a warrant for Kyle Putnam's arrest." "So if you happen to see him, will you tell him to turn himself in?" "Detective." "All right, detective." "Why are we all here at this late hour?" "Client being investigated?" "For the murder, no." "No, I just wanted to talk to Claire's best friend." " I was hoping you could help." " Anything I can do." "Do you know if Claire was seeing anyone?" " I think she was involved with Kyle." " Really?" "Because I can't find any proof of that." "Well, I'm sure if you check phone records, IMs, texts, you know." "So how did you know about this?" "Did you see them kissing?" "Holding hands?" "Did Claire ever actually tell you that she was sleeping with Kyle?" "It was just office gossip." "I should've mentioned it earlier, but I didn't wanna tarnish Claire's memory with a rumor." "Are we done here?" "Everything that I've been able to find, thus far it indicates that they were only friends." "We need some kind of hard, physical evidence and I have to prove that there was something else or Kyle will walk." "All work and no play makes Zach a crashing bore." " Something like that." " You're on private property." "While you're at it you might wanna tell them how you got those." "They're private messages between Kyle and Claire, right?" " You don't know what you saw." " Ahem." " Kyle does." " That's the evidence Wallowski needs." "Patched into your machine." " You were spying on us." " Isn't there a warrant out for your arrest?" "How did you find these?" "They were anonymous." "Created to hide your affair." "These prove that you were sleeping with her." "And the fact that you hacked in proves that you knew about it." "So, what was the point?" "I mean, really." "You're gonna leak those to Wallowski?" "Put him away for good?" "Well, that's very clever." "You just gave us your motive, Einstein." "I have signed documents that prove Claire wasn't helping him with the lawsuit." " Do him in the break room, for all I care." " But you do care, don't you?" "Because you loved her." " Claire and I were just friends." " No." "You wanted more than just a friendship." "I mean, all those brains, right?" "Claire Hanson breaks your little heart." "I'm worth a billion dollars." "Women throw themselves at me." "But not Claire." "I'd risk everything I've built for one piece of ass?" "No, not you." "Never you." "But this was about something else." "Isn't it, son?" "What do you mean?" "Three friends in a boat, right?" "One of them decides to rock the thing." "So to save their own lives, what do the other two do?" "Throw him overboard." "Right." "You and Claire were planning a takeover, weren't you?" "Yes." "Very good." "So you struck first." "Attack the attacker." "You squeezed him out of the company but you couldn't just give Claire the boot, could you?" "Claire signed documents." " You forced her to." " You did everything you could to turn her into the girl you wanted her to be." "Loyal to you, in love with you." "But she didn't love you." "You're in love with yourself." "That's your weakness." " Then you found out she was shagging..." " I did not touch her." "Was Claire shocked when you grabbed the knife, Zach?" "Did she scream?" "Did you stand there and watch her bleed?" " Did you?" " Go on." "Let it out." "Kick the cat, little boy." "You know you want to." "All the evidence points to Kyle." "Whether he killed her or not I still have unlimited funds and the best lawyers on the planet." "The truth doesn't matter." "Well, you're probably right about that." "But it does matter who your friends are." "It's a handy little tool, this, for letting them know what you've been up to." "I still have unlimited funds and the best lawyers on the planet." "The truth doesn't matter." "Everything you said just went viral." "You just made yourself the prime suspect." "You might wanna call them lawyers now, son." "Anybody else was back here without my permission, they'd be fired." "I'm guessing you threaten a lot of people." " You're fired." " I'm not even hired yet." "You read that book?" "Guess you don't want this then, huh?" "I paid for it." "A hundred bucks?" "No, that was expenses." "It's all here, though." "Photos, notes, where he went, what he did." "Real specific." "You know, this kid you had me follow, he's a bad dude." "Fights, drugs, sex." "Lots of sex." "Like a farm animal." "There's this one cute little..." "Careful." "You wanna open it?" "You're winding me up." "Hundred bucks for a week's work." "Who's winding up who?" "There's nothing in it." "Then open it." "Find out." "Give it here." " That's the photo I gave you earlier." " And nothing else." "What you get for spying on your daughter's man." "Yet you checked up on him anyway." "Yup." "When he wasn't in school, nose in his books." "Football practice, that little singing club they do." "The glee club." "That's very funny." "He ain't like you and me." "He's what they call an upstanding citizen." "Speak for yourself, son." "Your daughter seems like a smart girl." "If you don't trust her with the guy she's seeing, she's gonna see..." "This is coming from a parent, right?" "Yeah." "I got a kid." " How old?" " She'll be 3 this June." "So that's a mouth to feed, then?" "I get by." "You could try showing just a little respect." " How do you know I'm not?" " Showing respect?" "Trying." "I'm out of cash." "Will a check do?" "Respect?" "What you really need is the truth, sir." "And what I really need is a job." "Claire talked about you a lot." "I, um, found this at her place." "She would've wanted you to have it." " When did Claire first come to you?" " Uh, when she was 12." "She made those with you." "Child Psychology 101." "For the first four sessions, Claire didn't talk at all." "And you brought those in." "We just sat and made necklaces." "Well, you got her head screwed on right." "More or less." "You know, the truth is that's about the best you can ever hope for." "Come here." "What's your excuse with me, then?" "Eh, darling?" "Number four." "You got 10 minutes." "I've got a maths problem for you, Einstein." "You got a billion dollars." "Your friend takes half, your lawyers take 5 percent a month." "How long till you run out of friends?" " I don't have to sit here and listen to this." " Don't, then." "It's a free country." "Oh, sorry." "Okay." "What?" "I've recommended to the judge you be sentenced to a mental hospital." "Why would you do that for me?" "You framed an innocent man you hacked my computers." "You hurt a very close friend of mine." "You murdered a wonderful young girl." "Now, prison will only take your freedom." "But that hospital the pills they'll give you, they'll take your mind." "And make no mistake Dr. Foster will make sure of that personally." "Oy." "Where's Liam?" "Ironic." "The one time you get his name right, and it's the same day that..." "Hmm." "Hey." "You all right?" " Yeah, I'm fine." " Okay." "Liam's a bloody idiot." "I actually broke up with him." "Really?" "Why?" "What'd he do?" "Nothing." "That's kind of the point." "Right." "Go on, you can tell me." "Go on." "You know you can." "You know you're gonna tell me in the end, so..." "That's you and me." "It's all the way, no secrets and that." "Liam doesn't believe in sex before marriage." "Are you laughing?" "No, no." "Me?" "No, no." "Me?" "Never, no." "All that exercise was just a substitute for something else." "A total waste of a good pair of hamstrings..." " You can be a real jackass sometimes." " Just finding that out now, are you?" " You're not funny." " I know." "It's tragic." "I have a question." "What's that look mean?" "Gillian." "Do you love her?" "Of course I do, darling." "Of course I love her." "No, I mean really love her." "Yeah." "Well, what are you waiting for?" "I don't have an answer for that one, love."
