Gail Phillips at Crispin's, she has a...

She doesn't trust banks for some reason.

She takes her paycheck

and she cashes it

and carries the

money with her.

Someone, I forget who.

George started calling her

"Greenbacks" and it stuck.

Oh, my God,

I've got to call the police.

Why, what's the matter?

Gail Phillips killed

George Bynum!

How can you know that?

The dream...

If I'm right, they were having an affair

before you went to work at Crispin's.

In Gail's mind, you were the

one who ruined everything.

If it weren't for you,

George Bynum would still be alive.

You see, when he rejected

her for you, she killed him.

And now she's trying to

make it look as if you did it.

Yeah, Detective Joseph

Vitucci, please.

Dr. Sam Rice calling.

I'm pretty sure Gail's the one who

put those clippings in your desk,

hoping the police

would find them.

And if that doesn't work,

she's gonna have to kill you.

Would you please try and find him?

It's very important.

Wait a minute.

Who told you that I was out here?

I think we better go.

- Oh, my God.

- What?

I forgot my keys.

Brooke!

Jump!

What?

- Jump!

- Don't!

No!

Oh, help!
