Undercover CEO Exposes the Ultimate Betrayal at Work

All right. You know, let me take some pictures in case she steals anything. I [sighs] can't believe we're getting some help around here.

Between your travel schedule and my client deadlines, this place feels like it's been falling apart. >> Yeah, tell me about it. Hey, when's the last time we had a proper date night?

What, 3 months? Try four. I specifically requested someone reliable and experienced from the agency.

Oh, good. You know, I've actually I've got a conference call in about an hour. Then I'm in meetings till 7:00.

Great. Oh, that must be her. Come in.

I'm picturing someone like old and motherly, you know, someone who really knows how to take care of a home. Hi. Good morning.

I'm Emma. Thank you so much for the opportunity. I guess.

I'm Lindsey. Please, come in. I'm George.

Wonderful to meet you both. You have such a beautiful home. Thank you.

Yeah, we've we've worked hard to make it comfortable. Uh George, don't you have that conference call? Right.

Yes. Emma, it's great to meet you. If you need anything at all, don't hesitate to ask Lindsey here.

Um yeah, all right. I'll see you. Uh let me show you where everything is.

So, you come highly recommended. How long have you been doing this type of work? About 2 years now.

I take pride in maintaining beautiful spaces like your own. All right. Well, I work from home, so I'll be around if you have any questions about our preferences.

Of course. I'll try to stay out of your way. All right.

>> You know, you're not quite what I was expecting when I called the agency. I understand that and I get that reaction sometimes. People have a certain expectation about what domestic workers should look like.

Well, it's It's not that there's anything wrong with how you look. It's just surprising, I guess. I try to let my work speak for itself rather than my appearance.

What's your background? Did you always plan on housekeeping? Not exactly.

I was actually a model for a while or trying to be one anyway. Really? That's fascinating.

What happened with that career? It's a tough industry. Lots of auditions, lots of rejections, new connections I didn't have and frankly, the right look changes every season.

Did you go to college? Study anything? I chose modeling over college.

My family needed the money and I thought my looks would be my ticket to success. When that didn't work out, I needed steady income and this work is honest and I'm good at it. I approach it with the same professionalism I brought to modeling.

Oh, that's very practical of you. And do you like it? This kind of work?

I like order, creating a space where things just feel right. And there's a quiet satisfaction in that. Hm.

I don't think I'd find much satisfaction in scrubbing toilets. >> [laughter] >> I don't think of it that way. Um for me, it's about leaving things better than I found them.

Hm. Well, the guest bathroom mirror looked a bit streaky when I passed by earlier. Could you give it another once-over?

Of course. I want everything to be perfect for you. Do you ever modeling?

The attention, the cameras. Attention comes in many forms. Not all of it is worth chasing.

Um, you're still here. It It's past 6:00. Where where's Lindsay?

Uh, she's taking a nap. Had a stressful call with a client about an hour ago. You've been here all day.

That's not what we discussed when we set up the schedule. Uh, Lindsay wanted everything to be immaculate. She has very high standards, but I don't mind the extra time.

Well, her standards shouldn't come at your expense. You should have set set hours and stuck to them. She's my employer.

I want to make sure she's satisfied with my work. What about you? Are you satisfied working like this?

Um, I I take pride in doing my job well. That's uh it's enough for me. Well, maybe it should be more than enough.

Your well-being matters more than perfect baseboards, Emma. You should head home now. Thank you.

That's very considerate of you to say. Not not everyone will care. Emma, I I um I want you to know that I We should maintain professional boundaries.

This job is really important to me and complications would be >> right. I apologize. That was That was inappropriate.

No need to apologize. Um, I I understand the the attraction, but we we should uh both know the situation is complicated. I'll see you next week.

Have a have a good evening, Emma. Okay. Lindsay.

that? >> [sighs] >> OH! SHOOT.

UM I I AM SO SORRY. I WAS not watching where I was going. Gosh.

Yeah, no worries. Are you okay? I'm Jay.

I I I live next door to Lindsay and George. We we wave at each other sometimes when we pass in the hall. I'm I'm Emma.

I work for them. Oh, work for them doing what? If you don't mind me asking.

Housekeeping. Really? I mean, not that there's nothing wrong with that.

But honestly you you could easily be in front of a camera instead of a vacuum. >> [laughter] >> I I tried that path. Didn't work out the way I hoped.

I mean, I'm a photographer. I for fashion, portraits, commercial work. I've shot campaigns for major brands and I have a good eye for faces and yours is extraordinary.

I I appreciate that, but I have heard those lines before from photographers who promised the world. I get it. But there's a lot of fakes out there.

Guys with cameras and big talk, but that's not me. Everyone says that. Fair enough.

But I don't need to say it. I can prove it. I have genuine connections in the industry and contacts who could actually help.

I could help you put together a portfolio that could showcase your your unique appeal. Why would you do that for a stranger? Because talent shouldn't be wasted.

And because sometimes you just see something in someone. You don't even know me. Not yet.

But I'd like to. My studio's right there. It's It's my apartment, but um you know, no pressure.

I I just you should think about it. I'll think about it. That's a very generous offer.

That's all I ask. Take your time. Oh, I'm I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to wake you. So, um how's your day with Emma? Uh it was fine.

Uh she needed some guidance on our standards and expectations. Uh yeah, she seemed to do excellent work. The The place looks great.

Why do you keep her here so late? Well, I wanted everything done properly the first time. Is that a problem?

Uh Lindsay, she's a person, not a machine. She deserves reasonable hours and fair treatment. Since when do you care so much about the help's working condition?

Since always. You know, it's called being a decent human being. >> There must be something.

All those late nights, those mysterious phone calls. The steakhouse. Two weeks ago?

You told me he was working late that night. Sarah, what's what's going on here? Michael, I found this.

This receipt from the steakhouse dated two weeks ago. Told me you were working late that night. But you were out having dinner somewhere expensive.

This? Sarah, I told you about this over breakfast. I was at a business dinner with the Johnson client, remember?

You know, you were reading the newspaper and I mentioned I had to take him out to close the deal. I'm sorry, I don't remember that conversation. Honey, you've been having trouble sleeping again?

Come on, remember what Dr Martinez said about sleep deprivation. It can cause memory problems, even paranoid thoughts. Paranoid thoughts?

Sarah, look at this mess. Look at how upset you are. You've been You've been watching too many of those talk shows about cheating husbands, huh?

It's It's affecting your judgment. I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me.

I just I felt like something was wrong. I know, you're right. I I haven't been sleeping well.

Yeah. Let me help you. Why don't Why don't you just get work today, huh?

Get some rest. If these paranoid episodes continue, maybe we should consider getting you some professional help. Episodes?

You think I have I have episodes? >> Look, I'm just concerned about you, all right? Sweetheart, like this this isn't you.

Right? Look, I have to get to work, so try to get some sleep, okay? We'll talk about it more tonight.

And Sarah, please rest. You need it. I don't remember that conversation.

Just look at us. Can't sleep in my own bed. A Johnson client.

I I really don't remember him mentioning that. What about the perfume I smelled last week? It's like flowery scent.

I'm not sure it's that one. And he said it was from crowds on an elevator. Female colleagues.

I'm not crazy. I know what I smell. Maybe he's right.

Maybe I'm losing my mind. Oh my god. I know I'm not crazy.

I'm not paranoid. He's been He's been lying to me. He's been gaslighting me.

Making me think I'm losing my mind. But not this time. I've been right all along.

Now I got proof, Michael. Um Sir, what's this about? I I you to explain this.

Lipstick stain, Michael. Oh, and this time don't try to tell me I'm imagining things. This?

This I I visited my mother last week to help her with some repairs. You Oh, she always insists on kissing me goodbye with that bright red lipstick she wears. Sarah, you don't You don't remember me mentioning the visit?

I told you. I was helping her fix the kitchen cabinet. Your I think your memory problem seems to be getting worse.

Memory problems? Look, maybe you should see someone. A therapist.

This paranoia about my activities, the memory gaps, it's baby, it's not healthy. Amanda, can't wait to see you tomorrow night. Same place as always.

Explain this, Michael. Amanda is a colleague from work. She's helping me plan a surprise for your birthday next month.

You know, we're meeting at the party planning office we used for your last birthday. You're misinterpreting innocent communications. Your paranoia is causing you to see threats where none exist.

I'm tired of this. I'm tired of being made feel that I'm crazy when I know something is wrong. >> Sarah, your behavior has become erratic.

Look, maybe we should take a break. Give you some space to get the help you need. Right.

So, you can run off to your lover while I'm getting help. I hate that you think so little of me. All right, I'll be staying at my mother's house.

Help her with those household projects I mentioned. And maybe some time apart will give you perspective. And I hope you get consider getting professional help, Sarah.

For both our sakes. No, I'll call you in a few days. Hopefully by then you'll be thinking more clearly.

Yeah, hello. Sarah? Sarah, it's just me.

I just came to grab some clothes. But uh I was also hoping if we could talk. Sarah?

Sarah, are you here? Hey, listen. I've been I've been worried about you.

And um I've been staying at my mother's like I promised. She She says hello, by the way. Wherever you are.

Who's that, huh? Well, well, well, maybe I'm not the only one with secrets. Well, this is interesting, Sarah.

I came here hoping to reconcile with my wife, and I find you entertaining another man on our balcony? So, all those accusations about my faithfulness were just projections, huh? Of your own guilty behavior, weren't they?

I'm Detective James Rivera. Um I'm a licensed private investigator. This is business, not personal.

A private investigator? Sarah, you hired someone to spy on me? I hired someone to find the truth.

How could you betray our marriage like this? Having strangers follow me around, invade my privacy. >> Um Mr.

Thompson, I'd like to show you some photographs. If that's okay. Oh, it is okay.

These were taken over the past week. Multiple meetings, multiple locations. And you know what?

She wears that same red lipstick that stained your shirt. It's not a coincidence. The same lipstick you claim came from your mother's kisses.

Now tell me, Michael, does your mother kiss you this passionately? Sarah, I can explain that, all right? >> No, uh-uh.

I'm done with your explanations. It's hard to understand your paranoid behavior. Constant accusations has drove me to seek comfort elsewhere.

>> Oh, okay. So, it's my fault? >> I'm not saying it's your fault, but your mental state had created an environment where I just couldn't >> Just stop.

I can see what you've been doing now. All this time you've been making me question my own sanity, my own memory, my own perceptions. You've been gaslighting me.

Sarah, you're being dramatic. >> No, Michael. For the first time in months, I'm being completely clear.

I'm not interested in your excuses or your attempts to blame me for your choices. I want you to leave right now. Go stay with your mother.

Or, better yet, go stay with your girlfriend. No, Sarah, we we can work through this. >> No, we can't.

We're done. Okay, fine. I'll come back for my things later.

You know, you should be really proud of yourself, Mr. Thompson. I've worked many cases involving psychological manipulation, and it takes real courage to seek the truth.

Thank you. And for a second there, I was starting to lose my mind. Yeah, infidelity cases often involve gaslighting tactics, and your experience is unfortunately common.

But, your response is admirable. Ms. Thompson, if you would ever like to talk about your experience over coffee, either as friends or something more, feel free to call me.

Personally. Thank you, Detective Herrera, for everything. You helped me reclaim my sanity and myself-confidence.

You really did it yourself. I just provided the evidence. And please, call me James.

Okay, James. I'm not crazy. Never was.

I'm finally free. Hey, Sarah. Honey, will you take a look at this?

What do you think? Looks good. All right, living room.

Ooh, it looks perfect. And, you know what? I did move the table closer to the couch so we can all sit together comfortably.

Right. Yeah. I'm so glad we're doing this tonight.

I mean, it feels like forever since the three of us hung out together, you know? Just the three of us, like old times. Yeah, it'll be um nice.

I miss those college days, you know? When we'd spend those entire weekends just like talking and laughing about everything and nothing. Man, life gets so busy, you know?

Work and responsibilities [music] and bills. We forget to nurture the relationships that really matter. Mhm.

Ooh, and I'll grab the wine from the kitchen. Mike always loved that Malbec that we got from our trip to Argentina last year. I've been saving it for something special, and I just know it's for an occasion like this.

Mike, thank god you answered. What Where are you? You need to get here soon.

I can't keep pretending everything is normal. David's being so so sweet and nostalgic about our friendship, and it's making me It's making this even harder than I thought it would be. I know we talked about this, but I am starting to think this whole thing is a mistake.

What if he suspects something? What if he can tell that something's different between us? Okay, you're almost here.

Okay. Okay, [music] just be normal when you get here, okay? Act like nothing has changed between us.

Act like we're still just friends. Hey, everything okay? You look kind of flushed.

Fine. Yeah, I was just checking um if Mike [music] was on his way yet. Oh, yeah, is he close?

He's Yeah, he's almost here. Perfect. This is going to be such a good night.

Just like old times, you know, when we were inseparable. I was thinking we could play some of those card games that we used to love. Remember how competitive Mike would get during those poker [music] nights?

Yeah. I Yeah, I remember. Um I'll get it.

Wow, you look beautiful. Thank you. I thought she could use this.

Aw. Hey, Mike. Hey.

>> man. >> Hey, you too. >> Hey, please sit.

Come sit. All right. >> [sighs and gasps] >> Good to see you, dude.

>> see you, man. Thanks for having me over, David. It's really been a long time since we've done this.

Yeah. Hey, what is all this about? Uh just some chocolate I I thought Sarah might enjoy.

They're from that fancy Belgium place downtown, and uh the flowers seemed appropriate for such a lovely hostess. Mhm. They're beautiful, Mike.

Really beautiful. Let me put these in water right away. You know, you're always so thoughtful like that.

Sarah's going to love those chocolates. They look expensive. Only the best for Sarah.

All right. Hey, so I got you that Malbec that you used to love in college. And Sarah made those spinach dip things that you used to always talk about.

This is so perfect. All of us together again. Old friends.

And to good times. To old friends. To old friends.

You know, I was just telling Sarah how much I miss nights like this. Remember how we used to stay up till like 3:00 in the morning just like talking about life and dreams and everything? Yeah, those were uh good times.

Simpler times. Much simpler. So, Mike, tell me about work.

How's the consulting business going? Um it's going well. Really well, actually.

I've been taking on bigger clients, more complex projects. Keeps me pretty busy. That's fantastic.

I always knew you'd be successful. You had that drive even back in college. Mike's always been ambitious.

It's one of his best qualities. So, how about your dating? Hm?

Tell me you found someone special, please. You deserve to be as happy as Sarah and I are. Um working on it.

It's complicated. The right woman's out there for you, buddy. And when you find her, you'll know.

Just like I knew with Sarah. You remember that time that we were in college and we just drove to the coast for spring break? It was like junior year, right?

Spring break of junior year. Can't believe we drove 12 hours in your beat-up Honda. Mike, [laughter] you were determined to impress that girl at the beach bar.

What was her name? It's like Jessica Martinez. She was uh way out of my league.

And [clears throat] Sarah here spent the entire night giving you dating advice, trying to help you like work up the courage to talk to her, right? You were You were hopeless, Mike. Absolutely hopeless with women back then.

Yeah. Well, I got better over the years. Just took me a while to figure out what I really wanted.

You know what's funny? I remember that you had such a crush on Sarah back then. >> [laughter] >> I mean, this is before she and I started dating, of course.

I mean, who could blame you though? Sarah was the most beautiful girl on campus and still is the most beautiful girl I know. That was That was a long time ago, man.

Ancient history. But, it all worked out perfectly in the end, didn't it? We're all here.

We're all happy. We're all married to people that we love. Well, you will be someday, Mike.

Yeah. You know, life has a funny way of putting everyone exactly [music] where they're supposed to be. Yeah.

Exactly where we're supposed to be. Sorry, just one second. Um Dr Morrison speaking.

What? Yeah, when did this happen? Yeah, I understand.

And you were absolutely right to call me. Yeah, I'll be there in 20 minutes. And make sure they prep OR 2, all right?

This can't wait till morning. I'm so sorry, you guys. There was a serious car accident at the hospital and they need me immediately.

It's a trauma surgery that absolutely cannot wait. Yeah, please go do what you do best. Save lives.

God, I feel terrible about this though. We We're having such a great time, just like the old days. Well, don't worry about it, man.

Sarah and I can hang out, you know, here until you get back. Keep each other company. Are you sure?

I mean, it could be a while. These trauma surgeries, you know, you never know how long they're going to take. You know, it could be hours.

We will be fine. I mean, David, take all the time you need. The patient needs you more than we do right now.

I love you, Sarah. [music] Love you, too. Mike, thank you again for understanding, man.

We'll have to do this again real soon, okay? Absolutely. Go save a life, Dr Morrison.

I'll call you when I'm finished, all right? And I'll let you know how it went. Sarah.

I know. I've missed you so [music] much. It's been torture pretending we're just friends, watching you with him, knowing I can't touch you, I can't hold you.

I hate lying to him, but I can't stop [music] this. I can't stop wanting you. I wanted this for so long.

Every time we're together, all of us, every time I have to watch him touch you, >> [sighs] >> kiss you. >> I Me, too. Every night I lie next to him and I think about you.

Every time he tells me he loves me, I feel like >> [music] >> such a fraud. We should tell him. We should end the charade.

I know, but not tonight. Please, not tonight. [music] I just want to be with you.

Hey, did you forget something? That was so fast. No, it's fine.

The patient's stable. Oh, that's great news, David. You seem different.

[music] Is everything okay? Was the surgery more difficult than you thought? Actually, there's something that [music] I need to tell you both.

There was no surgery tonight. There was no emergency, no patient, no trauma surgery that couldn't wait. >> [music] >> David, what are you talking about?

That's crazy. Of course there was a surgery. You're a doctor.

You save lives. Am I crazy, Sarah? This has been recording everything that happened in this room while I was supposedly at the hospital.

I heard everything. Every word, every sound, every moment of your betrayal. David, I can explain.

This is not what it looks like. >> Explain what, exactly? Explain how my wife of 8 years has been having an affair with my best friend since childhood?

Explain how you both have been lying to my face for months? Okay, look, man. Sit down, Mike.

We're not finished here. Look, man, I'm sorry, okay? I I I never meant for this to happen.

You're sorry? And you think that sorry covers sleeping with another man's wife? You think that sorry covers betraying 20 years of friendship?

>> It just happened, David. We didn't plan it. We never meant to hurt you.

>> It just happened? For months? All those times that you said you were working late, all those mysterious phone calls, all of those times that Mike just happened to drop by when I wasn't home.

It all just happened. You know what the worst part is? It's not that my wife decided she didn't [music] love me anymore, cuz people fall out of love all the time.

It happens. Marriages end. The worst part is that instead of being honest with me, instead of giving me the dignity of the truth, you chose to humiliate me.

Both of you. You made me a fool in my own home. >> David, please, can we talk about this?

Can we try to work through this somehow? Work through this? Sarah, you have been living a lie for months.

You've been coming home to me, sleeping in our bed, pretending to be my loving wife while your heart and your body belong to someone else. And you. You've been my friend since we were [music] kids, man.

You were the best man at my wedding, for God's sake. You stood there and you watched me promise to love and cherish this woman until the day that we died. And then you decide to just take her away from me?

>> I never meant for it to happen this way, David. I swear to you. But it did happen this way.

And now I have everything that I need for the divorce proceedings. Audio evidence of this adultery. My lawyer says that it'll make everything very [music] clean and very simple.

Divorce? David, wait. Can't Can't we go to counseling?

Can't we try to save our marriage? Save our marriage, Sarah? There's no saving our marriage.

It hasn't been for months. [music] I've just been too stupid to see it. I want both of you out of my house.

Right now. For what it's worth, David, I really am sorry. You deserve better from both of us.

Yeah, I did. Wow, something smells incredible in here. And looks amazing, too.

Yeah, well, I just wanted to make something special for you. You're the best. Let me just hit the bathroom real quick before we eat.

Wash up. All right. Dylan?

Yeah, thank god you picked up. No, he doesn't suspect anything. He's so wrapped in his work routine, he barely notices anything.

Did you know he spent 20 minutes this morning just explaining these precious formulas to me? Yeah, precious formulas, Dylan. God, I'm so tired of pretending everything is normal when all I want is be with you.

You know, I keep thinking about last Tuesday when we met at the park. Those 2 hours felt more real than the entire 3 years with him. You know, I hate that I have to sneak around like this.

Hate that I just can't be with you. Yeah, I know, but you know I can't leave yet. Not until I figure out how to do this without ending up in nothing.

Oh, okay, he's coming back. I have to go. I'll call you.

Okay? Yeah. Love you.

Okay, bye. Ready for dinner? Absolutely.

>> [laughter] >> Okay. This was incredible, Jess. You really really outdid yourself today.

Thank you. You won't believe what happened with the new client account today. So, remember how I told you about the mess that Thompson dumped on me?

Well, I think I finally figured out how to fix it. So, they had their books so screwed up, Jessica. Screwed up.

The numbers didn't add up, the receipts were missing, transactions made no sense. But, I stayed late every night this week going through everything line by line, right? Mhm, yeah, that sounds complicated.

Yeah, yeah, it was. It was. But, but that's what I love about the job.

See, it's like solving a puzzle. And every piece has to fit in perfectly or the whole thing just falls apart, right? And if if I clean this up, Thompson said there's a real possibility of a promotion.

Mhm. Can't believe that. That's only 3 years with the firm.

Me, promotion. Yeah, that's that's wonderful, honey. Jessica, this could mean a 40 40% salary raise.

40%. We could finally take the trip to Italy you've been wanting. We could renovate the kitchen.

Hell, we could buy a whole bigger house if you wanted to. This could change everything for us, Jess. I know I've been working long hours, but it's all been leading to this moment.

All the sacrifice, all the late nights, all the headache is finally paying off. And who could be texting you so much? Oh, uh it's just Claire.

She's going through a tough time and she needs a someone to talk to. Claire? Yeah, I don't think I heard you mention a Claire before.

Uh yeah, she's a new friend from yoga class. You remember, right? Uh she's having some personal issues Oh, I'm sorry.

I I should probably take this. She sounds really upset in her texts. Of course.

Claire? Claire, what's wrong? Yeah.

Yeah. Sorry, baby. I had to make something up.

Richard was getting suspicious about all the texting. You have to dial it down. So hard uh sitting down and pretending to care about his boring job stories and acting excited about his stupid promotion.

He spent 10 minutes explaining how he reorganized some client's filing system. I wanted to scream. I feel like I'm I feel like I'm living a lie every single day.

I wake up next to him and have to pretend that I'm happy. I make his coffee the way he likes and listen to him talk about his day and all I can think about is how much I want to be somewhere else with you. I >> [music] >> You know I can't just leave him yet, Dylan.

I've nowhere to go and no money of my own. Okay, yeah, he's coming out. I need to spend time with him so he won't be suspicious.

I'll call you later, okay? Bye, yeah. Yeah.

Hey, Lynn. How's Claire? Uh just relationship drama.

You know how it is. Do you want to sit down? How's the food?

Sure, it's fine. That was an interesting conversation to listen to, by the I like this bar. Hey, isn't this nice?

We should do this more often. Like we used to, just the two of us, relaxing together, no work, no distractions. Like every weekend when we were dating, we rented movies [music] and ordered pizza and just talked for hours.

Mhm. Yeah. I miss that sometimes.

Just talking to you. Feels like we're both so busy these days we barely get to connect anymore. Yeah.

Yeah, we should definitely do this more. Is that Claire again? Oh, yeah, she's having like a really bad time.

She needs constant support through her divorce. Yeah, I feel it. May- maybe I should meet her sometime.

You know, she's such a close friend to you, you guys have been talking a lot, maybe I feel like I should get to know her. Oh, I I don't think that's a good idea. She's like [music] very private about her situation.

And she doesn't want to meet anyone new right now, so I like to respect her privacy. Yeah, I get that. But I mean, eventually, not now, just when she's feeling better, maybe we'll all dinner or something.

Yeah. Yeah, maybe eventually. What's her husband like?

Like what kind of problems is she having at home? Uh he's controlling, emotionally distant, uh she feels trapped. Yeah.

Uh says he never listens [music] to her anymore. And and never shows any interest in her feelings or like her thoughts. It's crazy.

That's terrible. You know, marriage shouldn't be like that. No, it shouldn't.

You know, it's funny though. In all of our years of marriage, I've never met Claire. And I don't think you've ever mentioned her before tonight.

Well, I told you she's a newer friend from yoga class. We've only been close for a few months. Yeah, you said that.

You said that. That's interesting. What do you mean interesting?

Well, you've been you've been going to yoga for like 2 years, right? And you never mentioned making close friends at all there before. And then Claire seems like she needs your attention really specifically during evenings when we're supposed to spend our time together.

Are you seriously going to be jealous of a friend who's going through crisis? >> I'm I'm not jealous. I'm making an observation.

Okay, people going through crises need constant support outside of business hours, Richard. Claire needs me and I'll be there for her regardless of how you feel about it. And you know what?

Some people actually value loyalty and friendship. Some people understand that being there for someone in their darkest moment is more important than watching a movie. Yeah.

>> Hello. How long has this been going on? All this time I've been working my behind off trying to build a better life for us and she She's just been All right.

Let's see how this plays out tonight. I can't wait to leave him. It's all boring.

The money is the only thing keeping me here. Financial security, huh? That's all I am to you.

Meet me here right now. My husband left for an emergency work trip. He won't be back until tomorrow.

Bring the wine. Can we delete that, actually? Perfect.

Um Um >> Come in. Look what I Oh, well. You must be Dylan.

You know I think I might have the wrong house. No, you're definitely in the right place. >> [music] >> You're to see my wife.

She said she texted you to come over, right? What are you doing here? You texted me that [music] your husband was out of town.

I didn't send any text. Actually, I sent the text [music] messages. See, while you were sleeping peacefully on the couch, which is funny how that works.

You know what? Please, just come on. Let's not let the wine go to waste.

Uh Richard, please. I can explain. I read months of texts, okay, between you and Dylan, including your admission that you're only staying married for the financial security.

Look, bro, I didn't want things to happen this way, you know. I I was going to Oh, you've been sneaking around, letting me pay for Jessica's lifestyle while you enjoy the benefits, right? Planning her exit strategy to take half of everything I worked for while running off with her little boyfriend.

I love you, Dylan. As soon as I figure out how to make things work financially, I'll leave him. Those are your words, Jessica.

Richard, you don't understand. I remember one more. It was uh how did it go?

I I hate that I have to sneak around like this. I hate that I can't just be with you openly, Dylan. Well, now you can be with him openly.

Both of you. Get out of my house. Now.

What? Where am I supposed to go? This is my home, too.

You forfeited that right when you decided to betray our marriage. When you decided I was a paycheck keeping you comfortable while you planned your escape. Let's go.

Um hi, excuse me. I'm meeting my boyfriend Tyler here. Has he arrived yet?

What's the last name? Anderson? Tyler Anderson?

We had a reservation for 11. I'm not seeing a Tyler Anderson on here for today. Are you sure it's for today?

Yes, I'm positive. He talked to me yesterday confirming. He said he'd be here by now.

Uh, excuse me, are you Jessica? Yes, I am. Do I know you?

I'm Blake. Tyler's brother. He's running really late and asked me to keep you company until he gets here.

I didn't know Tyler had a brother. He's never mentioned you. We're not super close, but family's family, right?

Tyler got stuck in traffic coming here from work, but he should be here any minute. Come on, let's get you seated. It's no point staying around here.

Tyler would kill me if I didn't take good care of you while you wait. Good afternoon. Can I start you both off with something to drink?

Um, just water for now. Um, I'll wait to order uh when Tyler comes. I'll actually take a scotch neat, top shelf, and bring the lady a glass of your best wine, red.

Something expensive. Um, I don't need wine. Water is fine.

>> N- nonsense. A beautiful woman like you deserves the best. Tyler Street.

You know, how about we make it a mimosa instead? More your speed. Right.

I'll be uh right back with those drinks. So, Tyler's told me so much about you. You're even more beautiful than he described.

Oh, uh that's sweet of him to talk about me. How long has it been since you two have seen [music] each other? Um, you know how it is with family.

We keep in touch here and there, but when he told me about you, I knew I just had [music] to meet you myself. You know, I have to be honest with you, Jessica. I always thought Tyler was punching above his weight with you.

A woman like you deserves [music] someone who can really appreciate her. That's weird. It's a weird thing to say about your brother's girlfriend.

I'm just being honest. Look, I make three times what Tyler makes. And I know how to treat a woman right.

Really right. I love Tyler. I'm not interested in anyone else, and I find this conversation [music] really inappropriate.

>> Come on, Jessica. You can't tell me you've never wondered what it would be like to be with someone who could give you everything that you want. Nice cars, [music] expensive dinners, designer clothes.

>> Those things don't matter to me. Every woman says [music] that. But deep down, you all want to be taken care of, provided for.

I can do that for you. Listen. Tyler doesn't have to know.

We could just see where this goes. One drink at my place, just to get to know each other better. Stop.

This is completely inappropriate. You're his brother. What is wrong with you?

>> Half brother, technically. And what Tyler doesn't know won't hurt him. I've seen how he treats you, Jessica.

[music] Always working, never taking you anywhere nice. You deserve so much better than that. How would you know how Tyler treats me?

You just said you barely keep in touch with him. I can tell. I can always tell when a woman isn't being treated right.

It's in the eyes. Hi, I'm so sorry to interrupt, but could I speak to you privately for just a moment? There's an issue with the reservation I need to clarify.

Of course. What what kind of issue? Can't you just [music] tell us right here?

Um it'll just take a second. Restaurant policy. We need to verify some information privately.

All right. Hurry up. Okay.

>> [music] >> I need to tell you something and I need you to listen to me. That man is not acting like any brother I've ever seen. The way he's hitting on you, the things he's saying, something is very wrong here.

Oh, thank god you said something. I was thinking the same thing. And Tyler's never mentioned having a brother, ever.

In 6 months together, he's never once mentioned family. I think you're being set up. This feels like some kind of test.

Has Tyler been acting weird lately, [music] asking strange questions about your past or other men? Oh my god, yeah. Last week he kept asking me about this guy from my gym who said hello to me.

And he's been weird about me going out with my girlfriends. That bastard, he's testing my loyalty. Men who don't trust good women don't deserve them.

But I have an idea. Want to turn this around on them? What do you mean?

>> [music] >> I mean, let's give them exactly what they're looking for and then show them how stupid they are for not trusting you in the first place. All right, I'm listening. I'm going to record everything.

You go back out there and play along with this game. Flirt back, act interested, let him dig his own grave. >> [music] >> And when Tyler shows up expecting to catch you cheating, we'll have proof of what they really did.

Wait, you think Tyler's going to show up? Oh, honey, he's probably watching from his car right now. This whole thing is orchestrated.

Let's do it. I'm so sick of men thinking they can manipulate [music] women and get away with it. Finally.

You know what, Blake? You're absolutely right. Tyler has been taking me for granted lately.

I knew you were smart. Yeah, I could tell the moment I saw you that you were too intelligent to waste your time with someone who doesn't appreciate you. Tell me more about this money you [music] mentioned.

Tyler's always worried about bills, always stressed about work. It would be so [music] nice to be with someone successful. Someone who could take care of me.

Well, I just bought a brand new BMW, fully loaded, leather interior, the works. I could take you somewhere nice [music] after this. Show you how a real man treats a woman.

You're so much more confident than Tyler. I really like that in a man. Tyler's always so unsure of himself, so insecure.

Confidence comes with the success, baby. And I've got plenty of both. You know, Tyler always said you were too good for him.

I thought he was right. He said that about me? All the time.

Yeah. He's always been jealous of what I have and what I've accomplished and now I can see why. You know, you're the kind of woman who should be on the arm of a winner.

What do you do for work that you make so much money? I'm in sales. High-end electronics.

Got the golden touch. If you know what I mean. Everything I touch turns to gold.

That sounds amazing. Tyler works so hard at that accounting firm and barely makes ends meet. Just forget about Tyler for the night.

Let me show you what you've been missing. What do you say we get out of here? I can't believe what I'm seeing, Jessica.

How could you do this to me? With my own brother? Tyler, I can explain.

>> Explain? Explain? I'm looking at my girlfriend holding hands with my brother.

I I saw you through the window, Jessica. I saw everything. Tyler, man, I'm really sorry.

She came on to me. I I tried to resist, but she just was so insistent. I I didn't know what to do.

Okay. Six months we've been together and this is who you really are? Cheating, lying Oh, I always knew something like this would happen.

>> Enough. You want to know who I really am, Tyler? I'm someone who just proved that you're the one who can't be trusted.

What are you talking about? I am talking about the fact that you set up this entire sick test. You had your so-called brother try to seduce me to see if I would cheat.

Jessica, I I I think you're confused. No, I really am Tyler. >> Don't even try it.

Tyler's never mentioned having a brother in the 6 months we've been dating. Not once. Not even in passing.

But the joke's on both of you because while you were busy proving you don't trust me, I was proving that I'm smarter than both of you combined. Every word, every sleazy pick up line, >> [music] >> every moment of this pathetic set up, it's all right here. Jessica, wait.

I I can't explain. I I just I had to know if you were loyal. You know, other guys are always looking at you.

They're always trying to >> Other guys are always what? Always interested in me? And instead of being proud that you're with someone desirable, instead of trusting the woman who has never given you a single reason to doubt her, you decided to test me like I'm some kind of criminal.

Okay, look, this this got way out of hand. Can we just all sit down and and talk about this like adults? No.

You both showed me exactly who you are tonight. Tyler, you're a paranoid, controlling man who doesn't deserve a faithful woman. And Blake, you're a man who would try to steal his brother's girlfriend for money.

The best part? We're about to show the whole world what type of men you really are. No, you you can't post that.

My job, my reputation. I mean, people will see it. My My boss, my co-workers >> Well, you should have thought of that before you decided to play games with people's hearts.

Come on, ladies. We're We're all adults here. Can we just work this out, make some kind of deal?

Work this out? The only thing we're working on is making sure every woman in this city knows to stay away from the both of you. Jessica, please.

I love you. I'm sorry. I just I was scared of losing you, okay?

You're so beautiful, so perfect, and I'm just >> You just ruined the best thing you ever had. Best thing that's ever happened to you. Now get out, both of you, before I call security.

Jessica, please. >> Get out!
