00:00Miss Lewis, we recovered a body from the river.
00:02Based on the evidence we found, fortunately, we believe to be your husband.
00:06It's impossible. My husband is standing right here.
00:14No, that can't be right.
00:15I want a divorce.
00:19Divorce is not an option.
00:22Even when you die, Esther, your ashes belong to me.
00:25I will never let you go.
00:30No, please. Please, go for me.
00:39No.
00:46Our daughter is dead, so what?
00:48We can just have another one.
00:51I can't live like this anymore.
00:54On our fifth day of your age, my husband died.
00:58And I murdered him.
01:00Esther!
01:01I never meant to kill him, but everything happened too fast.
01:05Now I'm scared, lost, and I don't know what to do next.
01:11Happy anniversary.
01:12I'm sorry I'm late.
01:19No, no, no way. He can't be alive. I buried him myself.
01:24I'm sorry I'm late.
01:26I bought your favorite dress from CMS.
01:29I spent five times the price on it. Limited edition.
01:31How are you here right now?
01:34Who are you?
01:35You know who I am.
01:36I'm your husband.
01:40Was my month-long business trip that long that you forgot about me?
01:43Come here.
01:43No.
01:44No, no. You can't be Carl.
01:47Esther.
01:49What's wrong? Why do you look so nervous?
01:53Okay, you're dead.
01:56You can't be here.
01:58Dead?
02:00What do you mean dead?
02:02Look at me. Do I, do I look dead to you?
02:14Come here.
02:17Maybe you had a nightmare about it.
02:20Just a little too tired.
02:25Mom gave us those as a wedding gift.
02:29When I smashed that last night, how is it on the shelf again?
02:33The evidence.
02:37It's gone.
02:44Look, I know you've been feeling overwhelmed, so I invited some friends over tonight.
02:49Our fifth year anniversary.
02:51I think it'll be nice if you blow off some steam.
02:54No, no, no. It can't be.
02:56How is he still alive?
02:58Was last night really just a nightmare?
03:01Wait.
03:02Where is this?
03:03Where's your wedding ring?
03:07You're not Carl.
03:15It's right here.
03:17I washed my hands, and I must have forgotten to put it back on.
03:20There. See?
03:23Hey, don't overthink it, okay?
03:26Okay, why don't you go try that dress on, and you will be the most radiant woman tonight.
03:32I'll be done with my meeting soon.
03:37It's been five years since we got married, and he's never talked to me like that.
03:41He forgot every promise he made to me in high school.
03:45But after I killed him, why does it feel like the Carl I know is back?
03:51No.
03:52No, that's impossible.
03:53I buried him myself in the backyard.
03:58Okay, Carl's body is still here.
04:00That means what happened last night wasn't a nightmare.
04:04That man...
04:06isn't Carl.
04:08So, who was the man I saw this morning?
04:12No.
04:14An anniversary party for Esther?
04:17What a joke.
04:19Carl never cared about her.
04:20Especially after he met me.
04:24Poor thing.
04:26Everything you ever had, Esther, will end up being mine.
04:48Long time no see, Esther.
04:51Happy anniversary to you and Carl.
04:54Get out.
04:55You are not welcome here.
04:56Your husband invited me.
04:59Do you know why?
05:01He said I'm better in bed than you.
05:07What?
05:08Looks like no one's here to save you now.
05:11High school's over, Esther.
05:14Don't believe me?
05:20Watch this.
05:27Ow!
05:29Watch out!
05:30Watch out!
05:42Why would he save me?
05:47Esther's coming!
05:52That's never gonna happen, eh?
05:55Esther, what's your...
05:58What's happened?
06:11Is this really the same guy who used to hit me all the time?
06:14He's like the Carl I used to love back in high school.
06:18Carl Lewis!
06:20You're not seriously defending this bitch.
06:23You watch your mouth.
06:24You will not speak to my wife like that.
06:26If you want to keep your job tomorrow as my assistant, you will stop talking.
06:30What is wrong with you?
06:31You're acting like a totally different person today.
06:34Are you feeling okay?
06:35Are you stressed at work?
06:37You know, you could come back to my place and I could help you relax.
06:42What are you doing, Sharon?
06:43I am married.
06:43And if you don't stop, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
06:47No, you're not Carl.
06:48Carl.
06:49The Carl I know would never treat me like this.
06:52Leave.
06:53Before I make you.
06:56I'll find out who you really are.
06:59And then I'll expose you.
07:09What's that?
07:11What the hell?
07:14Don't touch that!
07:16Carl, this is the shirt I gave you.
07:20What is their blood on it?
07:23What did you do to him?
07:25You killed him, didn't you?
07:29Carl does seem kind of different tonight.
07:33I heard their daughter dead because of him.
07:35And Esther hasn't been mentally stable since then.
07:38She probably just snapped, killed him, and hired a double.
07:42That's insane.
07:43Is he Carl's doppelganger or something?
07:45They look exactly the same.
07:48You lost your mind, Sharon.
07:50I'm standing right here.
07:52Stop acting.
07:53I know him better than anyone.
07:55One look is enough.
07:56You're not him.
07:57Do you really think he knew me better than my wife of five years?
08:02Right, Esther?
08:03Please.
08:04Esther doesn't know anything.
08:06For the past five years, he spent more nights with me than he ever has with you.
08:10Did you know that he was with me two hours before your wedding?
08:14Enough, Sharon!
08:17You killed him, didn't you?
08:19You couldn't have him, so you brought in some replacement.
08:23I killed him.
08:24But I'm not even sure if I really did.
08:27I have to stay calm.
08:28Until I know who this Carl is, no one can notice anything strange.
08:32I don't know what you're talking about.
08:34My husband is right here.
08:36Then why did you act so scared when I reached down for that cloth?
08:39What are you hiding, Esther?
08:41We're not hiding anything, okay?
08:43My wife hated that shirt you got me, and so did I.
08:46So we got rid of it.
08:47Nothing is wrong with that.
08:49Oh, really?
08:51Let's see.
08:54Wait, no!
09:00Wait, no!
09:04No way.
09:07Carl's body is gone.
09:10See?
09:11I told you.
09:13Well, if you really are, Carl, then why are you acting this way?
09:16Yesterday, you told me you love me.
09:18You told me you were leaving, Esther.
09:20I tell women like you anything they want to hear.
09:23Right?
09:23Don't flatter yourself.
09:24You are not special.
09:26No.
09:27No, you're lying.
09:28Sharon?
09:29Know your place.
09:31If it's time for you to leave, don't let me say it twice.
09:34This isn't over, Esther.
09:37Okay.
09:43All right, apologies, everyone.
09:45My assistant has been feeling unstable lately.
09:49I think it's best we call it a night, yeah?
09:58You moved the body, didn't you?
10:03Where is he?
10:05Esther, what are you talking about?
10:07Who the hell are you?
10:08My husband is dead.
10:09I am the one who buried him.
10:11I know that losing our daughter shattered you.
10:14Okay?
10:15And I know you've been under a lot of stress, but you are seeing things that aren't there.
10:21It's okay.
10:22Come here.
10:23Come here.
10:25You're safe now.
10:26Why does it feel so familiar and yet so wrong?
10:30If Carl's alive, who did I bury?
10:36How about you go get some rest?
10:38Okay, we have the big meeting at the Maple Group with the board tomorrow, and you don't
10:43want the vultures seeing you like this, right?
10:45Okay.
11:00Let's get started.
11:11Mrs. Lewis, after discussing it with Mr. Lewis and the rest of the board, we've decided
11:19it might be best if you take a temporary leave from your role as CEO.
11:29If you're going to suspend me, at least tell me why.
11:33Your oversight these past few months has cost this company hundreds of millions of dollars.
11:40And considering everything you've been through, the board has decided to show you mercy.
11:47You really think I don't know where the missing funds went?
11:51I trusted you and Carl.
11:54That's how you managed to move the money behind my back.
11:57Mrs. Lewis, you're his wife.
12:00Why would he conspire with me?
12:01I'm just his assistant.
12:03Well, then why is his assistant giving me this news?
12:06Okay, stop playing dumb.
12:08I know what you two are doing.
12:10Mrs. Lewis, maybe you should step aside for a while.
12:13You couldn't handle your husband or protect your daughter and other companies taking a hit.
12:18At this point, we just don't have the reason to trust you anymore.
12:22You used to be one of the sharpest people in this business, Mrs. Lewis.
12:26But ever since you got married, you've given up control of your shares and everything has gone downhill.
12:30Mrs. Lewis, I think it'd be best for you to go home, be a housewife.
12:37Honestly, Sharon would be a far better CEO.
12:41It's funny to call a homewrecker competent.
12:44Let me be clear.
12:46As long as I am alive, I am not giving up my company.
12:51A homewrecker or not, I'm the one that wins.
12:54And I should probably mention that Mr. Lewis has decided to give me 50% of the shares.
13:01As one of the largest shareholders of this company, your company is now mine.
13:07And this little show today, it was all his idea.
13:12He's still that monster.
13:15Security, could you please come escort Mrs. Lewis out?
13:21What?
13:22No, no, no, hey, let me go, let me go!
13:28Hey!
13:30No one touches my life!
13:40Regarding this motion to suspend Esther as CEO, I'm withdrawing it immediately.
13:46What?
13:47You heard me.
13:49Anyone else have a problem with that?
13:52Carl, this is not what we discussed.
13:56I am now the largest board member.
13:59Nobody outranks me.
14:01Look, you said you were going to give me 50% of the shares.
14:05I never said that.
14:06In fact, I will be transferring all of my shares to Esther.
14:10He's saving me again?
14:12She is and always will be the CEO of Maple Group.
14:17Miss White, that is not your seat.
14:19Carl, what is wrong with you?
14:21You've been acting totally strange since last night.
14:25Security.
14:29Carl, I know would never do something like this for me.
14:38Now I say that my wife will remain in charge, effective immediately.
14:44We'll also begin an internal audit, starting with every transaction between myself and Miss White.
14:50Who is this man?
14:52What does he want from all of this?
14:54Now, if there aren't any objections, why don't we wrap this up?
15:08Esther, I promise to make this up to you.
15:11I will protect you like I always should have.
15:17I don't believe you.
15:20I don't believe you.
15:26I'll make you believe.
15:28What is wrong with him?
15:29Why was he defending me?
15:41I need to talk with you right now.
15:50I'm pregnant.
15:51And it's your baby.
15:53Is this seriously how you're going to treat your new family?
15:59We'll get it taken care of, right?
16:06We're the only child I will ever claim as Esther's.
16:14Two days ago, you said you would leave her if I ever got pregnant.
16:19And now you're acting like a totally different person.
16:22What the hell happened?
16:23People change.
16:25You killed my daughter.
16:27You stole from the company.
16:28That is enough to get you locked up behind bars for the rest of your life.
16:32So it wasn't a nightmare.
16:34It was real.
16:35Okay.
16:36You're putting on a show for everyone, huh?
16:39You know, you used to be so careful.
16:42If you hadn't said anything, I never would have thought to delete that dash cam foot.
16:46Should you leaving your daughter choking in the car to be with me?
16:54Daddy!
16:56Daddy!
17:00They planned it from the start.
17:02All of it.
17:05So now, you're pretending to be the perfect husband to save your reputation?
17:11Get rid of that little wife of yours and give me the company like you promised.
17:17Oh, I know you too well, Carl.
17:20He didn't die that night.
17:22He just came back to finish what he started.
17:24To take all my shares.
17:44Esther, please wait.
17:45No, don't!
17:45I have heard enough!
17:53No, I heard everything.
17:55You and that bitch killed my daughter.
17:57You've only been nice to me last couple of days to cover that up.
18:00Sir, calm down.
18:01I am not going to calm down!
18:04That night wasn't a nightmare.
18:05That was real.
18:06And I wish it stayed that way.
18:08I wish you stayed dead.
18:09Shh, calm down.
18:12Don't tell me what to do.
18:14I have nothing to hide.
18:16I'm like you.
18:22Sign.
18:24This really isn't the time to talk about-
18:26If you're not going to sign, I'm going to call the cops right now and tell them everything you did.
18:36I'd like to report my husband, Carl Lewis, for child abuse, domestic violence, and homicide.
18:43Trust me, the police can't help you.
18:46Your threats don't work on me anymore.
18:48Threat?
18:50I'm not trying to threaten you.
18:51Look, I know you don't fully understand, and it's complicated, but trust me, I'm trying to protect you.
18:56Trust you?
18:57Are you kidding?
18:58The guy that I loved back in high school died years ago.
19:02You are a liar who cheated on me with his assistant, stole from my company, and killed my daughter.
19:09Come here.
19:09Don't touch me!
19:16I'm not who you think I am.
19:19Oh, really?
19:22Okay, then who are you?
19:24His ghost?
19:26His long-lost twin?
19:28God, your lies are just as pathetic as you are.
19:33Please, just give me one chance.
19:35I swear I won't let anybody hurt you again, okay?
19:40You made that same promise to me back in high school.
19:43And now you're the one I need protection from.
19:57Officers, that was fast.
19:58I just called.
20:05Miss Lewis, we recovered a body from the river.
20:08Based on the evidence we found, unfortunately, we believe him to be your husband.
20:15Carl Lewis.
20:18Estimated time of death is 72 hours ago.
20:22It's impossible.
20:23My husband is standing right here.
20:26If there's been some type of mistake, I am Carl Lewis.
20:35No, that can't be right.
20:37This is all just some big misunderstanding.
20:41You guys can go now.
20:41That's not so fast.
20:42Look, be that as it may, procedure is procedure.
20:45We need the both of you to come with us right now.
20:54Carl Lewis' body?
20:56And who the hell is that guy?
20:58Is he a dupe?
20:59I have to know why Carl suddenly has a change of heart.
21:03Esther won't get him back.
21:05Carl's mine.
21:11We collected a DNA sample from the body.
21:14But there's no record for Mr. Lewis.
21:17I'm sorry, excuse me.
21:18I'm the victim on record.
21:20And his father, Victor Lewis, has refused to provide a DNA sample.
21:25Would my father refuse a DNA sample?
21:28If this guy under the blanket really is Carl, then who is standing next to me?
21:34The body was severely damaged by water.
21:38Please, switch yourself.
21:42I'm ready.
21:44Okay.
21:50You're welcome.
21:50I'm sorry.
21:50I'm sorry.
21:52I'm sorry.
21:53I'm sorry.
21:55I'm sorry.
