Secrets of an Undercover Wife

Valerie: Why do you have to go back to the city tonight?

Paul: Oh, I've got an EPA meeting in the morning.

I got to get my notes. I want you to stay.

No, no, no. Val, I've got to go.

Val, you always do this. I've got to go.

Lisa: I couldn't do this without you, Diane.

Diane: Do what?

Put on this gorgeous dress, and live o

No... make this choice.

Am I crazy?

No, I'm the one who's crazy... for being alone.

You go, my girl.

I have faith in no man, but I do have faith in you.

Thanks.

Just do me a favour. Um-hum?

Look me in the eyes one last time,

and tell me that you're sure.

I'm sure I love Paul,

and that I can be a good wife to him.

And I'm sure I'm leaving you in our gallery with

three showings while I'm off in the Cayman Islands,

drinking Marguerita's and consummating my marriage.

Priest: Do you take Lisa as your lawful wife,

to have and to hold from this day forward,

for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer,

in sickness and in health,

to love and cherish until death do you part?

I do.

Priest: Lisa, do you take Paul as your lawful husband,

to have and to hold from this day forward,

for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer,

in sickness and in health,

to love and cherish until death do you part?

I do.

Both: I take this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son,

and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

I now pronounce you husband and wife.

You may kiss the bride.

I don't know what I did to deserve you, but I'm going

to earn it every day for the rest of my life.

Lisa: All right, here it comes. Ready?

Whoo!

Munez: Mr. Wilder? Paul: Yes. What is it?

Munez: Special Agent Selena Munez, FBI.

- What's going on? - If you had any plans

for this evening, I suggest you cancel them now.

What are you talking about? We're going on our honeymoon...

We have a warrant for your arrest.

- What! - I'm not going anywhere

with you. This is my wedding day!

Lisa: Hey! Hey! Munez: Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Back off! Just back off, Lisa! Or I'll charge you

- with obstruction! - Paul, what's going on?

Munez: Come on, Mr. Wilder. You're coming with us.

Lisa: Paul! What's happening? Munez: Don't make this

any harder than it needs to be.

Just tell me what I'm being charged with.

Embezzlement, wire fraud, among other counts.

You must have the wrong person!

This has to be a mistake! PAUL!

- DIANE, WHAT'S GOING ON? - I don't know.

PAUL!

Lisa: Paul, what the hell is going on?

They're going to claim that some money has gone missing.

Is this the same money the FBI questioned you about

- last month? - It's complicated, Lisa.

Yeah, it's complicated!

I didn't tell you because you were stressed yourself.

You were busy with the opening of the gallery

and with the wedding and I didn't want to burden you.

You lied to me.

Frances: Mrs. Wilder...

if you'll excuse us.

Allow me to introduce myself,

Mr. Wilder. I'm Frances Bracken,

Assistant U.S. Attorney.

I want you to tell me what the charges are against me.

You were partners with Clayton Darwin and Valerie

- Ross in Fission Recycling. - Yeah.

Yeah, Clayton and Valerie and I started the company

Ms. Ross was shot to death just as the FBI were

to interview her about certain questionable

- transactions at Fission. - Yeah, I'm aware of that.

Now, more than ten million dollars in investor funds

have gone missing from your company.

And your signature appears on slips transferring that money

to the Cayman Islands.

That... that's... That's impossible.

Wilcox: Shame on you, Ms. Bracken, speaking to

my client without the presence of counsel.

Frances: Oh, don't get your panties in a bunch, Wilcox.

Nothing improper about defining the charges.

Now, there's very convincing evidence against you,

but I'm going to make you a one-time offer.

You have a window here to cut yourself a deal.

Are you suggesting a plea?

If he's willing to implicate others.

We've traced the missing money to the Cayman Islands.

It disappeared from there. We want to find that money.

I have no involvement in any of this.

- This is absurd. - Last chance.

If you cooperate, we'll recommend low-end sentencing.

If not, we'll do it the hard way.

Wilcox: The charges are weak, Frances,

and my client won't be saying anything further at this point.

Your decision.

Which means I'll see you in court.

This is a nightmare, Richard.

You got to get me out of this.

- Lisa. - What's happening?

Well, it's Federal charges and if bail is granted,

- it's going to be steep. - Well, the down payment

on the house took all the available cash we had.

Paul, I could care less about a house.

But I want you to just look at me in the eyes right now

and tell me the truth.

Did you have anything to do with this?

Lisa, I swear to you, I am innocent.

You get him bail and I'll take care of the rest.

Max: Yes, I'll have your son's files posted with

the courthouse first thing in the morning.

Yeah.

You're welcome.

Not necessary, Mrs. Marquez.

No, I love enchiladas.

Okay. Okay.

Bye bye.

Lisa: Hi. Max: What can I do for you?

I'm looking for Marty Macauley.

Ah, my late husband. I haven't had the heart

to change the ad. I'm Max.

I need to post a bail.

Max: Ahem.

- Paul Wilder... your husband? - Uh-hum.

This ain't small change. What did he do?

It's irrelevant, he's innocent.

They all are.

How long you been married?

How long have you been widowed?

- Coffee? - Thank you.

Max: You own any property?

We just bought a substantial house.

Max: I can arrange bond but you'll have to put up your

house for collateral, in case your hubby decides to skip bail.

Oh, he won't. I told you he's innocent.

He has nothing to run from.

Wheels of justice can crush you some

I got a friend doing time at Joliet.

I know he's innocent. He had an alibi for the crime.

- What happened? - Inept attorney and a judge

who should've been in a home instead of on the bench.

Door swings both ways. The guilty sometimes walk,

- and the innocent do time. - That's encouraging.

With respect, how long have you known this guy?

12 months before we were married.

Love's a splendid thing.

Lisa: I'm not sure if you're mocking me.

I don't know you.

But I do know my husband, and I believe him.

Max: Want to know what I think?

Love is blind.

Second, you never know the stripes of any male 'til

he's cornered and desperate.

- Paul: I was set up. - Who would do that?

That's all I can tell you.

Does it have anything to do with Valerie's murder?

Gawd! Now you're interrogating me!

I'm sorry, I'm just trying to make sense of all this.

I'm sorry.

I'm just tired of being asked questions that I don't know

the answers to.

Turn right here.

- Where are we going? - To find some.

Lisa: Paul, are you sure you don't want to just wait

til the morning? Paul: There'll be staff

here tomorrow. I need to see if somebody's

been into my computer files.

Lisa: What's wrong?

They must have changed the codes.
