Pretend You Don't See Her

Mom, just being here with you like this,

I feel better already.

Ooh, what I would have given to hear that

from you when you were 16!

Well, you handled the troubled teen pretty well.

Oooh, maybe it looked that way.

I just remember it as controlled panic.

I don't know.

It, maybe that's why I had to see you today.

I mean, maybe that troubled teen is not far off.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

It's complicated.

A man?

No, it's more than just a guy problem.

It's connected on so many levels.

I don't know how to get out.

Heather, what's going on?

Can we go for a coffee or something?

Let's just go and try Rolanda's.

My God!

Somebody, help me, please!

Please, help me!

Jerry, you heard me the first time.

7th Avenue and 23rd for under 1.2 mil.

Two bedrooms, two baths, 1700 square feet.

Taxes and maintenance are under 20 a year.

Jerry?

Jerry, this is not a deal you think about.

This is a deal you pounce on and grab with two hands.

By the time this listing gets to the street,

somebody else will already be moving in.

Okay, I'll set up a viewing at 11.

Bring your checkbook.

All right, I think I've got a taker on 2527.

What took you so long?

You've had that listing for a whole 45 minutes.

Well, you're right, I'm slipping.

Well, before you slip any further,

I have another listing for you.

A gift.

I've heard that before.

No, seriously.

How does a two-bedroom apartment at 107 East 70th sound?

Like I've already made the sale.

The woman selling is named Chantal Greco.

The apartment is owned by her daughter, Heather.

The actress?

Who was killed in the hit-and-run?

I saw her in "The Tea Room,"

on Broadway last year.

She was really great.

The mom says she wants to sell the apartment

as soon as possible.

So she'll be there for the next couple of hours.

I'm on my way.

I'll check in after the inspection.

And, Rick, thanks.

Yeah.

For the queen of Manhattan real estate, anything.

Thanks.

Ms. Farrell, back again.

Not content until you sell every apartment in the building?

It's all part of the plan, Tim.

I'm here to see Chantal Greco.

She's thinking of selling.

Yeah, Penthouse Six.

Nice woman, Mrs. Greco.

Pity what happened to her daughter.

I hope you can help her out.

Me, too.

Thanks.

Thank you for coming

by so quickly, Ms. Farrell.

No problem.

I'm happy to help.

It's a beautiful apartment.

It's a shame you have to sell.

I didn't really want to.

It's more my ex-husband's idea.

He thinks I'm obsessing on our daughter's death.

He thinks selling the apartment will be healthier for me.

He thinks it'll help me forget.

I know it's something you'll never forget,

but sometimes it is better to try to move on.

Maybe.

If it had been an accident.

But the truth of it is my daughter was murdered

right in front of my very eyes.

How do I move on from that?

I'm sorry.

I didn't know.

You wouldn't.

Nobody believes them when I tell them.

Not the police, not Heather's father.

Nobody.

How can you be so sure?

He came up onto the sidewalk right at us.

He wasn't out of control.

He knew what he was doing.

But why?

I don't know.

But something was going on with Heather.

Something that scared her.

She was going to tell me that day.

She never got the chance.

I found her journal this morning.

And I've been reading it,

trying to make some sense of it all.

When I told Jimmy about it,

he said I should burn the journal.

Along with everything else.

You think I'm crazy, too.

No, I don't think you're crazy.

But I don't know how you'd ever prove what you believe.

Maybe Jimmy's right.

Maybe it's best I sell this place.

Well, there's something I can help you with.

Hi!

Aunt Lacey's here!

Hello!

Aunt Lacey!

I missed you so much last weekend!

You didn't come for dinner!

I know, I was stuck at work.

You're always working.

Well, it sure feels that way, doesn't it?

But I'm here now, so let's go find your mom.

Kit, you should have seen this poor woman.

She was so broken up.

Like Mom after Dad died.

Poor thing.

Poor thing?

Do you know who her ex-husband is?

Jimmy Greco.

Owns the Venezia Restaurant downtown

and he's halfway home to getting

his own casino license in Atlantic City.

I mean, these people could buy and sell us.

Not everything's about money, Jay.

That's what people who have money say.

She lost her daughter.

And because we feel sorry for her,

you're going to give her back your fees?

Money, money, money.

I'm so sorry about Jay.

Ever since his business went off--

It's okay.

I know.

Listen, I'll call you tomorrow.

Okay.

You aren't going to leave without saying good-bye?

Not on your life, kiddo.

As a matter of fact, if mom doesn't mind,

I was going to come up and tuck you in.

Be careful she doesn't rope you

into reading a bedtime story.

I'll take my chances, come on, hop on.

Giddy-up!

Just one story!

Good night!

Hi, this is Lacey.

Chantal Greco says you got along great.

Says you filled her with confidence.

All part of the service.

Listen, I've got some more good news.

I got a call from Keller, Roland and Smythe.

They've got an executive being relocated to the city.

He needs to find a place real fast.

The Greco apartment fits his wish list,

and price seems to be no object.

Great, do you have a name?

Curtis Caldwell.

He's already set up to meet you there at 10 tomorrow.

A lot of people are apprehensive about moving to New York,

but it's really not as scary as it seems.

This is nice.

Lots of space.

My wife would love it.

What's the asking on this?

Well, they're asking 950,

but they're looking to sell,

so I think if you offer anything over 900,

you might have a deal.

And just wait until you see the bedroom.

Lacey?

Chantal?

I didn't realize you were here.

My God, Lacey, she really was in trouble!

I'll bring back my client another time.

No, I think I've changed my mind.

I'm not selling.

I'm sorry, did you hear?

I don't know what to say.

It's a little confusing.

I'll try and get her to reconsider.

That'd be great.

It's exactly what I'm looking for.
