00:00Wait, what? Wait.
00:02Wait, didn't you? You used to have a wall under your eye?
00:05Oh, yeah, no, it got big and gross. I got it removed.
00:08Oh. Mom.
00:10I thought you said you had your wall removed.
00:13Why were you pretending to be Carl?
00:15I'm not lying. I am Carl.
00:17On our fifth anniversary, my husband died, and I murdered him.
00:23I never meant to kill him, but everything happened too fast.
00:27Now I'm scared, lost, and I don't know what to do next.
00:46Happy anniversary. I'm sorry I'm late.
00:54No, no, no. He can't be alive. I buried him myself.
00:59Sorry I'm late.
01:01I bought your favorite dress from CMS.
01:04I spent five times the price on it. Limited edition.
01:07Why don't you go try it on?
01:11How are you here right now?
01:13Who are you?
01:15You know who I am. I'm... I'm your husband.
01:19Was my month-long business trip that long that you forgot about me?
01:22No. No. No, no. You can't be Carl.
01:28Esther, what's wrong? Why do you look so nervous?
01:33Okay, you're dead.
01:36You can't be here.
01:38Dead?
01:38Dead?
01:40What do you mean dead?
01:42Look at me. Do I... Do I look dead? Do you?
01:53Come here.
01:57Maybe you had a nightmare about it.
01:59Just a little too tired.
02:05Mom gave us this as a wedding gift.
02:08I smashed that last night. How is it on the shelf again?
02:12The evidence.
02:17It's gone.
02:19Look, I know you've been feeling overwhelmed, so I invited some friends over tonight.
02:24Our fifth year anniversary.
02:25I think it'll be nice if you blow off some steam.
02:28No, no, no. It can't be.
02:30How is he still alive?
02:32Was last night really just a nightmare?
02:34Wait.
02:36Where is this?
02:37Where's the wedding?
02:41You're not Carl.
02:47It's right here.
02:49I washed my hands and I must have forgotten to put it back on.
02:52There. See?
02:55Hey, don't overthink it, okay?
02:58Okay, why don't you go try that dress on and you will be the most radiant woman tonight.
03:03I'll be done with my meeting soon.
03:08It's been five years since we got married and he's never talked to me like that.
03:11He forgot every promise he made to me in high school.
03:15But after I killed him, why does it feel like the Carl I know is back?
03:20No.
03:21No, that's impossible. I buried him myself in the backyard.
03:26Okay, Carl's body is still here.
03:29That means what happened last night wasn't a nightmare.
03:32That man...
03:34isn't Carl.
03:36So, who was the man I saw this morning?
03:39An anniversary party for Esther?
03:41What a joke.
03:43Carl never cared about her.
03:45Especially after he met me.
03:49Poor thing.
03:51Everything you ever had, Esther, will end up being mine.
03:58Long time no see, Esther.
04:00Happy anniversary.
04:01To you and Carl.
04:03Get out.
04:04You are not welcome here.
04:06Your husband invited me.
04:08Do you know why?
04:10He said I'm better in bed than you.
04:17Looks like no one's here to save you now.
04:20High school's over, Esther.
04:22Don't believe me?
04:29Watch this.
04:36Ow!
04:38Watch out!
04:51Why would he save me?
04:55Esther's coming!
05:00That's never gonna happen, right?
05:04Esther, what's up?
05:07Watch out!
05:13Is this really the same guy who used to hit me all the time?
05:16He's like the Carl I used to love back in high school.
05:20Carl Lewis!
05:21You're not seriously defending this bitch!
05:24Watch your mouth!
05:25You will not speak to my wife like that!
05:27If you want to keep your job tomorrow, as my assistant, you will stop talking.
05:30What is wrong with you?
05:31You're acting like a totally different person today.
05:34Are you feeling okay?
05:35Are you stressed at work?
05:37You know, you could come back to my place and I could help you relax.
05:41What are you doing, Sharon?
05:42I am married.
05:43If you don't stop, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
05:46No, you're not Carl.
05:48The Carl I know would never treat me like this.
05:51Leave.
05:52Before I make you.
05:54I'll find out who you really are.
05:57And then I'll expose you.
06:06What's...
06:07That?
06:08What the hell?
06:10Don't touch that!
06:12Carl!
06:13This is the shirt I gave you!
06:16Why is there blood on it?
06:18What did you do to him?
06:20You killed him, didn't you?
06:24Carl does seem kind of...
06:26different tonight.
06:28I heard the daughter died because of him.
06:30And Esther hasn't been mentally stable since then.
06:32She probably just snapped, killed him, and hired a doppel.
06:36That's insane.
06:37Is he Carl's doppelganger or something?
06:39They look exactly the same.
06:41You lost your mind, Sharon.
06:43I'm standing right here.
06:45Stop acting!
06:46I know I'm better than anyone.
06:47One look is enough.
06:49You're not him.
06:50Do you really think he knew me better than my wife of five years?
06:54Right, Esther?
06:55Please, Esther doesn't know anything.
06:57For the past five years, he spent more nights with me than he ever has with you.
07:02Did you know that he was with me two hours before your wedding?
07:05Enough, Sharon!
07:08You killed him, didn't you?
07:10You couldn't have him, so you brought in some replacement.
07:13I killed him, but I'm not even sure if I really did.
07:17I have to stay calm until I know who this Carl is.
07:20No one can notice anything strange.
07:22I don't know what you're talking about.
07:24My husband is right here.
07:26Then why did you act so scared when I reached down for that cloth?
07:28What are you hiding, Esther?
07:30We're not hiding anything, okay?
07:31My wife hated that shirt you got me, and so did I.
07:34So we got rid of it. Nothing is wrong with that.
07:37Oh, really?
07:39Let's see.
07:41Wait, no!
07:47Wait, no!
07:51No way.
07:53Carl's body is gone.
07:56See? I told you.
07:58Well, if you really are Carl, then why are you acting this way?
08:01Yesterday you told me you love me, and you told me you're believing Esther.
08:04I tell women like you anything they want to hear.
08:07Alright, don't flatter yourself. You are not special.
08:10No.
08:11No, you're lying.
08:13Sharon, know your place.
08:15If it's time for you to leave, don't let me say it twice.
08:18This isn't over, Esther.
08:26Alright, apologies, everyone. My assistant has been feeling unstable lately.
08:32I think it's best we call it a night, no?
08:40You moved the body, didn't you?
08:44Where is he?
08:46Esther, what are you talking about?
08:47Who the hell are you? My husband is dead!
08:50I am the one who buried him!
08:51I know.
08:52The losing our daughter shattered you.
08:54Okay, and I know you've been under a lot of stress, but you are seeing things that aren't there.
09:01It's okay. Come here. Come here.
09:04You're safe now.
09:05Why does it feel so familiar, and yet so wrong?
09:09If Carl's alive, who did I bury?
09:14How about you go get some rest?
09:16Okay, we have the big meeting at the Maple Group with the board tomorrow, and you don't want the vultures
09:21seeing you like this, right?
09:35I'm pregnant, and it's your baby.
09:38Is this seriously how you're gonna treat your new family?
09:43We'll get it taken care of, alright?
09:50We're the only child I will ever claim as Esther's.
09:57Two days ago, you said you would leave her if I ever got pregnant.
10:01And now you're acting like a totally different person. What the hell happened?
10:05People change.
10:07You killed my daughter. You stole from the company.
10:10That is enough to get you locked up behind bars for the rest of your life.
10:13So it wasn't a nightmare. It was real.
10:16Okay, you're putting on a show for everyone, huh?
10:20You know, you used to be so careful.
10:23If you hadn't said anything, I never would have thought to delete that dash cam footage of you leaving your
10:27daughter choking in the car to be with me.
10:33Daddy! Daddy!
10:39They planned it from the start. All of it.
10:43So now, you're pretending to be the perfect husband to save your reputation, get rid of that little wife of
10:51yours, and give me the company like you promised.
10:54Oh, I know you too well, Carl.
10:57He didn't die that night. He just came back to finish what he started, to take all my shares.
11:17Sir, please wait for me-
11:18No, don't! I have heard enough!
11:24Sir, Esther-
11:25No, I heard everything. You and that bitch killed my daughter. You've only been nice to me the last couple
11:30of days to cover that up.
11:31Sir, calm down.
11:32I'm not gonna calm down!
11:35That night wasn't a nightmare. That was real. And I wish it stayed that way. I wish you stayed dead.
11:40Shh, calm down.
11:42Don't tell me what to do. I have nothing to hide. I'm like you.
11:52Sign.
11:53This really isn't the time to talk about-
11:55If you're not gonna sign, I'm gonna call the cops right now and tell them everything you did.
12:05I'd like to report my husband, Carl Lewis, for child abuse, domestic violence, and homicide.
12:11Trust me, the police can't help you.
12:14Your threats don't work on me anymore.
12:16Threat-
12:18I'm not trying to threaten you. Look, I know you don't fully understand, and it's complicated, but trust me, I'm
12:22trying to protect you-
12:23Trust you?
12:24Are you kidding? The guy that I loved back in high school died years ago.
12:28You are a liar who cheated on me with his assistant, stole from my company, and killed my daughter.
12:35And don't touch me!
12:41I'm not who you think I am.
12:44Oh, really?
12:47Okay, then who are you?
12:49His ghost? His long-lost twin?
12:52God, your lies are just as pathetic as you are.
12:57Please, just give me one chance. I swear I won't let anybody hurt you again, okay?
13:03You made that same promise to me back in high school, and now you're the one I need protection from.
13:18Officers, that was fast. I just called.
13:26Miss Lewis, we recovered a body from the river, based on the evidence we found. Unfortunately, we believe to be
13:32your husband.
13:35Carl Lewis.
13:37The estimated time of death is 72 hours ago.
13:41It's impossible. My husband is standing right here.
13:45If it's been sent out by mistake, I am Carl Lewis.
13:54No, that can't be right.
13:55This is all just some big misunderstanding. You guys can go mad.
13:59Not so fast.
14:00Look, be that as it may, procedure is procedure.
14:02We need the both of you to come with us right now.
14:10Carl Lewis's body? Then who the hell is that guy?
14:14Is he a dupe?
14:15I have to know why Carl suddenly has a change of heart.
14:18Esther won't get him back.
14:20Carl's mine.
14:26We collected a DNA sample from the body.
14:28But there's no record for Mr. Lewis.
14:31I'm sorry, excuse me.
14:33He held the victim on record.
14:34And his father, Victor Lewis, has refused to provide a DNA sample.
14:39When my father refused a DNA sample.
14:41If this guy under the blanket really is Carl, then who is standing next to me?
14:47The body was severely damaged by water.
14:50Please, brace yourself.
14:54I'm ready.
15:01I'm ready.
15:02Oh my god.
15:03Oh, come here.
15:06Mrs. Lewis, do you recognize anything?
15:08No, it's completely unrecognizable.
15:15These were found on the victim.
15:20That's the C Unlimited Edition underwear I gave him.
15:23That's Carl's underwear.
15:25Mrs. Lewis, you seem nervous.
15:26No, no.
15:28My husband had a pair like that.
15:30That pair of underwear doesn't prove anything.
15:32You can find that brand anywhere.
15:34Are you so defensive, Mr. Lewis?
15:36Wouldn't you be?
15:37You are forcing my wife to relive a nightmare based off the corpse you think is me.
15:43Alright.
15:44You're both ready to go.
15:46We'll contact you if we find anything new.
15:48Let's go home.
15:50Yes, come here.
15:51This is my opportunity to prove that this man is not the real Carl, officer.
15:56That's Carl's underwear.
15:57I can prove it.
15:59Sharon, what the hell are you doing?
16:02Officer, that is a limited edition pair of underwear that I bought Carl.
16:05I know it anywhere.
16:07There's none other like it in the state.
16:09Sharon!
16:09Let her speak.
16:11He's been acting strange for two days and I found blood stained clothes in their backyard.
16:16I think the real Carl is dead.
16:19Hey, do you have any proof?
16:19Because if you don't, I could sue you for slander.
16:22The underwear is proof.
16:26Sir, we found Carl Lewis's prints in the database.
16:28Good.
16:29Good.
16:30Let's do a fingerprint scan.
16:34If you really are Carl, then prove it.
16:39Yeah, why not?
16:43If the fingerprints match, then that night was really just a nightmare.
16:46But if they don't, I'm the prime suspect.
16:58So, what does the law do?
17:03You're going to remove everything, and that's what happens.
17:07And we're going to make a mistake.
17:07No way.
17:09Well, I don't know if you're in the last text, but you're not going to put me to the next
17:10text.
