Dream House Nightmare Page #5

---

when you go too far?

Well, I went too far,

and I lost myself.

I know what you mean.

I know exactly

what you mean.

If that house

is what you want,

that house is what

you are gonna get.

Ethan, it's too late.

I mean, the police

are already coming for me,

and Destiny

cannot lose us both.

So, I need to--I need

to write down

what you need to know

for Destiny, okay?

Um, what food she likes,

uh, her schedule

for next year.

Wait, you're not going

anywhere, not by yourself!

We're leaving,

all three of us.

What are you talking about?

We'll run away!

Doesn't matter where,

as long as we're together.

That's no kind

of life for Destiny.

Well, it's no kind of life

for Destiny without you.

Well,

she's better off without me.

Everyone is.

Come on.

Come on.

Get in the room.

Go pack your sh*t.

No.

Ethan, no!

I can't!

It's--It's over.

I'm not gonna let you

break up this family!

You never listen!

I'm gonna go pack.

If you won't, I will.

Mama? I'm hungry.

Mama, I want

to watch a movie.

So, your attacker had

a very interesting story.

He said that you

asked him to come over.

No, he's lying.

Well, that's just the thing.

He's not.

Oh, great.

So, now you're trying

to blame this on my wife?

This is a screen shot

of texts between him

and someone who appears

to be Theresa Wade

on his phone.

This person

sent texts detailing

exactly what she

wanted him to do to her

and also these.

What?

Now, we know the person

who sent these

was not actually you.

Your attacker

thought he was

communicating with you

sending some

rather colorful e-mails

about your alleged

sexual fantasies,

and this is how

he says he met you.

"Lonely housewife

wants to be raped"?

Oh, my God.

"Looking for a big stud

to fulfill

my sexual fantasy

and rape me."

He wanted to take

you up on the offer,

so he texted

the number listed below.

It does match

his cell phone records.

And on the day

you were attacked,

the person he was

communicating with

apparently knew

you would be home alone

and that

your alarm system was off.

How?

How'd they know

the system would be disabled?

There's an app for that.

So, this man thought

that I wanted him

to enter my house

and force himself on me

while I screamed

and yelled no?

What if I hadn't been able

to stop him?

Luckily, you did.

No thanks to anyone here.

Yeah. No thanks

to anyone here.

How do we get

the ads down?

Already done.

We've tracked

the I.P. address

and the phone number

to a one Madison Dupree.

That's her.

And she's also

the person registered

under the license plate number

your friend Pam gave us.

They lost

their home during

Hurricane Katrina,

had to rebuild

their lives from scratch.

She got an award

for starting

a special ed program

for her daughter

at her school.

"The principal said

she is hands down

the most loving

and hardworking parent

he's ever seen."

Madison Dupree.

I remember.

She sent us a letter

offering us $30,000

to move out.

That poor woman.

She's a psychopath.

Oh, she's just

a mom who loves her daughter

and wants a real home

for her family,

just like me.

She's nothing like you.

What now?

Well,

we have more than

enough evidence,

and we actually

have squad cars

on their way

to arrest her

as we speak.

Hands.

You're too late.

She's already gone.

Hey, you go inside and rest.

I'll get the baby

from Eddie and Pam.

You sure?

Yeah.

Okay.

Don't move.

I will blow

your pretty head off.

Thom!

Just put the gun down,

Madison.

I'm not talking

to you!

She wants me, not you.

Go get in the car, Thom.

No.

Eddie!

What do you want,

Madison?

I want to know

what you did

to trick them

into selling you

this house.

What did you do?

Did you promise them

something, huh?

Did you sleep

with them?

No. We put in a bid

just like you did.

We're a lot more alike

than you think.

I am a broken woman

with a broken family.

And you? Heh.

You're perfect.

No, no.

Put the bat down,

you b*tch!

Madison, Madison.

You know I just

had a baby, right,

a little girl?

Her name's Isla.

But she's not my first.

She's my third.

We had-- We had twins

when we lived in Los Angeles,

and...

and they both died

the day they were born.

They came too early,

and they just--

they couldn't take

their first breaths.

The doctors tried,

but their lungs just--

their lungs

weren't strong enough.

You remember

when you had Destiny,

you were waiting

to hear her first cry?

I kept waiting and waiting

to hear them, and I never did.

So-- So I know

what it's like

to have something

that you love

stolen from you.

I do. I know.

But nobody really

stole my babies from me.

It just happened.

We-- We didn't try to take

this house from you,

just like Katrina

didn't try

to steal your home

in New Orleans.

It just happened, okay?

No, don't!

I don't want to be

a monster!

You're not.

I just want to go home.

You remember my girl?

Please promise me

you'll help her.

Her daddy

gets so angry.

Okay. That's enough.

That's enough.

Please promise me!

Promise me

you'll help her!

Please, promise--

promise me!

Her poor daughter.

Theresa, no.

You saw the bruises

on her face.

God knows what that man's

gonna do to Destiny.

Well, the authorities

are involved now.

I'm sure everything

will be fine.

It's over.

- Diana Vick Realty.

- This is Diana.

You're back!

This is Theresa Wade.

Hi, Theresa.

How's that beautiful house

working out for you?

Um, I was wondering

if you could

give me information

on a woman who came

to see the house.

I know she put in an offer.

Madison Dupree.

Theresa, yeah,

I got your message before,

and I'm sorry.

No, I can't do that.

I have a long story

to tell you,

but the first thing

you need to know

is there is

an innocent girl

who needs help.

Destiny, hi.

Do you remember me?

Where's your dad?

I'm hungry.

Daddy's not here.

The door's locked.

How long have you

been out here?

I'm gonna come

up there, okay?

Hey, are you okay?

I saw you at Halloween.

Yes. You remember.

I saw you

other times, too,

but it was

in my mommy's car.

We need to get you inside.

You're cold.

Door's locked,

and Mommy and Daddy

are gone,

and I'm hungry,

and my tummy hurts.

Okay. Um, well,

you know what?

I have a--

I have a protein bar

in my car.

I'm gonna get that

for you, okay?

It's coming.

Whoa.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

If you or another

social worker could come

and see how she's living.

She needs help.

She's locked

outside of her house

with no parents.

Yes, okay. Thank you.

Sure. You can

call me anytime.

I'd be happy to advocate

on her behalf.

Yeah. Keep me informed,

if you don't mind.

Thanks.

Okay, I called some people

that can help you.

Do you know anyone

at Social Services,

Destiny?

I'm gonna wait here till

they get here, okay?

I want to go

to your house.

I don't think

that's a good idea.

Why?

I just...

I don't think

your dad would like it.
