She... she came to the door

this morning

and she said that...

She could...

She asked if she could

just park it for a few hours.

I don't remember why,

but I figured, why not?

-Which neighbor?

-Well, I don't know her.

Just assuming

she's our neighbor.

- Okay. Just...

Look, it's not a parking lot.

Just don't let people park in

front of our house, okay?

-Yes, sir.

-Why's the bed all messed up?

- When I was trying this on,

maybe I got a little too excited

thinking about what I was

gonna do to you later.

Sorry.

- You're late.

- You know there was traffic.

-Sounds like excuses.

- No excuses.

You are so sexy.

- Now enough

with the interrogation, okay.

You're going to be late.

- Maybe I should just

take the day off.

Just you and me, hang out,

spend the day together.

-No.

Babe, in the middle

of your huge deal?

This is really important to us.

You're not going to mess it up

for this, right?

-Yeah, I guess you're right.

- Okay.

- I'll be here, waiting.

- Okay, okay.

-Have a good day, sweetie.

-I'll try.

My rates

have gone up a little bit

since the last time

I worked for you.

I get $2000 in a day now

because I picked up

an associate,

and you'll have

to cover my expenses.

And I'll need

a $10,000 retainer.

-That's not a problem, okay.

I'm just going to need you

for a couple of days.

- Okay.

When would you like me to start?

I may need you to start

tomorrow.

All right.

I'll tell you what,

I'll send my associate,

Tim by your place in about...

- just have him call me,

all right?

When you come to my house,

we'll set it up from there.

- Will do.

Thank you, Mr. Schaefer.

-Thanks.

What the f***?

- I thought we were dead.

- What's wrong with you?

-Your f***ing husband was here.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa,

where are you going?

- He saw my car,

you don't think he knows?

- Are you insane?

You can't leave now.

He'll see you.

- Listen,

I got to get out of here, okay.

- I just...

- No.

He's suspicious of everything.

Relax.

- Well, listen,

I just want to go.

I just want to go.

- Whoa, whoa.

What the f***. Relax.

Okay? Chill out.

Yo, did you come here

to f*** me?

Chill out, relax.

Did you come here

to f*** me, or not?

Yes?

- Or no?

- Yeah.

-So then f*** me.

- Do you know

if your dad and Kim,

did they fight a lot?

- No, I don't think

I've ever seen them fight.

I mean, we all get along well.

She's a very nice person.

-Of course.

-Did you ever suspect your wife

might have a thing

with Mr. singer?

-We have a great life.

I mean, this must've been

just some random thing.

I mean, we argue,

you know, like any couple.

But I'm just as shocked

as you are.

-Mr. Schaefer?

-10,000.

As requested.

-Gregg will be in touch.

- Do you guys think

she's got anything to hide?

- I don't know.

I mean, she's young,

you know what I mean?

It's like, I think this guy

is a little bit paranoid.

The last job I had for him,

I sat around for three weeks

waiting for a lead.

- Hmm-mm.

- Yeah.

I just think he's insecure.

- Hell, yeah, he is.

I would be too

if I had a woman that young

and that fine.

- Guys, do you think I should

get up on the hill there

and take some photos

through the window?

- Sure.

- Yeah.

Be careful your cover doesn't

get blown on the first day.

- Yeah.

- Hey, yeah.

And if she sees you, just say

you're with Google maps.

- That sh*t works?

- I get people every time.

- I'll give you guys a text when

I get to a good vantage point.

- Ah, yeah. And watch out

for the gardeners.

- Don't let them see you.

- Oh, yeah.

Stealth.

-Google maps. I like that.

- Works every time.

-Hey, hey, that's the car.

-Oh, yeah.

Good.

- I honestly don't even know

what happened.

-It's fine.

- You know, I got this

really good burger place

down the street,

if you want to go get a bite?

-Sorry, I can't.

I just have

a really busy day ahead of me,

and I need to sleep some more.

I'll see you tomorrow?

-Yeah, yeah.

-Good.

- Ah, get some sleep.

- Hmm-mm.

-Hello.

-Hey, Luke, it's Jeff.

-Hey, what's up?

- I'm gonna need a favor

from you.

-Of course, what do you need?

- Remember that guy

you used to tell me about?

-Aah. What guy?

- The problem-solver guy.

I need his number.

-The sky is blue.

-But the clouds are gray.

- Look, I don't know

what Luke told you.

But this involves

the thing with my wife.

-Oh, yeah?

What thing are we talking about?

-I need her to disappear.

I think you know what I'm

talking about, like, forever.

- Okay.

I got it.

You got something for me?

-That's 40k.

Get the other half

when the job is done.

-Okay.

- The back door

will be unlocked;

the security codes

are in the envelope.

-Very good.

- Listen.

This is really important to me.

I'm leaving tomorrow morning.

I need this job

by tomorrow night, all right?

-That's not a problem.

-One more thing.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Hey, little girl, little girl.

Hello.

- Why are you

taking photos of my house?

-Oh. That's your house?

- Yeah.

Well, it's my dad's house.

- Well, I'm a photographer

and I'm shooting birds.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

-And I'm a weather monitor

and we are testing our thesis

on birds flying north

and your property

just happened to be

right under the bird path.

-Wow, that's really cool.

-Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, so... okay.

- This is our partner.

This is... hey, Brad.

Did you get some pictures

of those black birds?

-Uh... Yeah.

Yeah, I did.

I love black birds.

-Yeah, and you are?

- Oh, my name's Brooke.

That's my house.

I actually go to school

up the street.

-Really. What grade are you in?

- Eighth grade?

- Wow.

-Yeah, okay.

I hope you don't mind I was

taking some photos of the house.

- Is that okay?

- No, that's fine.

You guys can come back

anytime you want.

- Oh, thank you.

- Thank you, Brooke.

- Bye.

- See you later.

- Thanks, bye.

- Oh, boy.

- What the f*** was that?

- She just snuck up on us.

- Jesus.

- It's all good.

- Yeah, check this out, man,

I got gold.

- Oh, that's better than gold,

that's platinum.

- Pay day. Call your guy.

- Right.

-It's a nice nightie.

- Mr. Schaefer. Yes, sir.

Yeah, it's me.

Ah, we got some information

I think you'd be

very interested in seeing.

Hmm-mm.

Yeah, I'll send

my associate, Tim, by

later on tonight

with an envelope.

Yes, sir.

No, thank you.

Bye. All right.

- Maybe you can help us

just track this

all the way through

from the beginning.

- Did your boyfriend

have any enemies?

- He's not...

He's not my boyfriend.

-Your lover?

-That little f***ing whore...

-I'm sorry, man.

It is what it is.

- Thank you.

- You got it.

-Cut her f***ing throat.

-Okay.

- Look, guys.

I... I don't know what to say.

I don't know this person.

- So you're saying

Luke doesn't exist.

-No, that's not what I'm saying.

What I'm saying is,

I have never worked

or known a guy named Luke.

I don't know how much clearer

I can make it.

-Is that your guy?

-Yeah.

- So you're ready

to do this or what?
