I love it!
I love it!
Love it.
I love it.
Hey.
- Do I wanna know? - It's Jules.
She's had me rehearsing that line for a week.
For what?
I have no idea! All she'll say is: "All will be revealed..."
All will be revealed very soon. Here. Need you to sign that.
What is it? - I'm helping organize the fundraiser for the debate team.
- This is a request for $75. - Gotta start our fundraising somewhere.
I take cash.
- Is this where I say the line? - The what?
The line you've had me rehearsing for a week.
No, keep practicing. All will be revealed very soon.
I love it!
I love your enthusiasm.
How close are you? The client's almost here.
- Yeah, I'm on my way. - Got it!
Mama needs some sugar, baby.
- Mom! - Becca?
- Oh, I missed you! - I missed you too.
Buongiorno, mi amore!
- Shade? Did you get all that? - Uh...
You're back early. A month early.
My agent called. There's this new morning show
and they're looking for a host. Ta da!
- Hi, Don. - Hi, sweetie. Good to see you.
- You too. - You smell amazing.
Like a summer wind in Tuscany?
Or a mimosa off the southern coast of Portugal?
- No, I think it's more like prosciutto. - I've got a 10-pound leg
- in my bag. - Ha ha!
- It's enough food to feed us for weeks. - Us?
Didn't Jules tell you? I'll only be here until my renters
move out of my condo. Pinky promise.
Yeah, so Dad, you know how I said all would be revealed? Now.
I love it.
I think my wife Karen has been targeted by a stalker.
You said over the phone her car was broken into.
Last week. She told me not to worry about it.
She's probably right. There are thousands of break-ins
- in the city every year. - Except they didn't take anything.
Then a couple of nights ago, I see a man across the street.
He's just standing there, like he's watching the house.
Did you get a good look? - By the time I got my glasses on, he was gone.
And then the next morning I see scratches
- on the lock on the back door. - But nothing was missing or out of place.
Not that I could see.
- What does your wife say? - I haven't told her.
Karen's got a lot on her plate. She's VP of Strategy
- at Halcyon Lifestyles. - I know that company.
They do athletic apparel and accessories?
She divides her time between the Toronto and Chicago offices.
Right now she's in the middle of a major product launch.
I'm lucky to see her three days a week.
My hope is I'm just being paranoid here.
We'll look into it for you. I will need
- the key to your house. - Of course.
I'd rather Karen didn't know,
so I just have one request.
Hey. Uh, sorry I'm late.
I had a doctor's appointment.
Prostate... but I'm good.
We'll be discreet.
So this is us getting in the mind
- of our adversary, the stalker? - Why stand here?
After midnight? Maybe I'm waiting for someone...
- Or walking the dog. - Smoking a cigarette
- without my wife finding out. - Or... casing the house.
Adam and Karen are easy targets.
Their house is empty most of the day.
Plenty of loot here to steal.
How is Karen's car connected to casing the house?
A smash and grab seems like a different class of bad guy.
New cars have immobilizer systems.
Maybe he was after the car keys.
Well, why break into the car first?
And at her workplace...
Better question: why does Karen have two smoke detectors?
Within five feet of each other?
- Is that...? - Wireless. And it can transmit
to a DVR up to a mile away. - Nothing says "I'm stalking you" like a hidden camera.
- Was taking it out a good idea? - The battery's dead.
Whoever was using it isn't using it anymore.
It doesn't make sense. If I'm a peeping tom,
I'm placing this where I can watch her apply
all-over moisturizer. You know what I'm saying?
Disturbing, but true. So why the home office?
Didn't her husband say she was heading up a new product launch?
It could be corporate espionage.
Spying on the VP of Strategy would be a good way
- to pick up some insider info. - Yeah, but how do we get on
- the inside to prove that theory? - And stay discreet...
According to her husband, Karen does have a problem saying "no."
- What are you doing? - Here. Put these on.
- Why? - So your 90s fans
don't recognize you.
I'm hoping to write an article about you
- for WorkChick magazine. - I'll say yes
if you can answer one question for me, Angie.
- Fire away. - Have you been liberated?
- I sure have. - It's what they call
- their store clerks. - You've done your homework.
You train your liberators to bring out the "real you"
in your customers. WorkChick wants to bring out
- the "real" Karen Boyd. - This will tell you everything
- you need to know about me. - The bracelet?
The Blisslet. It releases vitamins directly into the system, custom tailored
to the active female body. Every girl could use
a little boost, whether it's in the boardroom or the bedroom.
Amen, sister.
Those must be some kind of vitamins.
Probably tough to keep other corporations
- from stealing your thunder. - The Blisslet launches
in less than 48 hours, after years of R&D.
The thunder will be all ours.
Don't run away, we have so much to talk about.
If this is about keeping corporate secrets,
I pity the spy who tries to go through Karen Boyd to get them.
- They'll end up working for her. - They'll be "liberated."
Karen wanted you to have this.
- Oh! When did she... - She just texted me.
I know; it's freaky. She's an amazing multi-tasker.
- How is it working for her? - Non-stop.
- She's an over-achieving virtuoso. - Can't be easy keeping up.
Doesn't mean you don't have to try. I want her life. - Yeah, but you don't
get to the top without making some enemies, am I right?
Even Jesus had enemies.
But Karen Boyd is loved by every soul in this company.
You can quote me on that. Paul Delfino, CEO.
- Paul! - The rumours are true.
She never sleeps.
Can I take this? I mean, is this a bribe?
- I want to take this. - Live large, Everett.
I like you two. So I want to feed you.
It's Adam!
I'll handle it. Hey!
We don't want to intrude. Looks like you've got a hot date...
It's not intruding if I invited you.
Do you want to know who these lovely people are?
- Only if you need me to. - Isn't he the best?
He trusts me completely. How couldn't I?
It was love at first sight.
When I stole his t-shirt back in high school.
- He had no idea. - Oh, I knew. - No, you didn't.
I'm Angie, this is Matt. We're journalists. - Adam Renfro.
So...
You're doing a story on my remarkable wife?
Trying to. I'm not sure my camera has the shutter speed
to be able to keep up with her. - They must have seen my heart rate slip below 150.
A conference call got rescheduled to right now.
She's like a hummingbird. Never stops.
Email my assistant Laura with any follow-up questions.
It was double-exciting to meet the both of you.
Your hummingbird will see you in a few days, Mr. Renfro.
What didn't you understand about "be discreet"?
- Our cover's still good. - Did you find anything at the house?
- We're not sure yet. - What does that mean?
Is it a stalker or is it not?
We don't know enough
about your wife yet. We need more time.
Then you better hurry.
Her flight to Chicago leaves at six o'clock tonight.
Learn what you can before she gets on that plane.
Karen Boyd seems to have it all figured out.
- Queen of the corporate jungle. - And mistress of her domain.
Speaking of her domain, explain to me
why we didn't tell our client about the camera?
What if Adam planted it himself?
- Why would he do that? - I'm not sure yet.
- Solid theory. - There she is.
You sure he didn't say he'd cover our expenses to Chicago?
You're really into this case, Shade.
It's almost like you don't want to go home. Ever.
- All right. Let's have it. - Well, you're never late.
So it must have been something big.
I was at the doctor.
You smell like a cross between Italian deli meat
and Tuscan sun. My best guess:
you had a torrid one-night stand with your butcher.
My ex-wife just got back from Italy.
That was my second guess.
So that was her this morning, when you hung up on me?
Yep. She decided to surprise us
a month early.
The terminal's in the other direction...
- She's not going to the terminal. - So why's she at an airport?
Uh... whose car is that?
No idea.
Meet the new Karen Boyd.
Version 2.0.
Definitely not headed to Chicago.
No. Maybe she wants a break from the rat race?
- Without her husband? - Doesn't sound so bad to me.
She's your ex-wife. It's not like she's living with you.
That's exactly what it's like.
Before she left town, Becca sublet her condo.
She can't get back in for a month, so she's staying with us.
