0:09
of love betrayal and some ice cold
0:12
revenge this one's going to keep you
0:14
hooked so let's dive right in picture
0:16
this a cozy dinner at home in suburban
0:19
Chicago jack a guy who's been married to
0:22
his high school sweetheart Emily for 15
0:24
years is sitting across from her at the
0:26
kitchen table they're eating spaghetti
0:29
the kind Emily makes from scratch and
0:31
everything seems normal but then Jack
0:34
drops a bombshell super casual like he's
0:37
asking her to pass the salt
0:39
"hey M I think we should keep our
0:41
marriage private from now on." Emily
0:43
freezes her fork halfway to her mouth
0:46
sauce dripping onto her plate "private?"
0:49
she says her voice tight "what's that
0:51
supposed to mean?" Jack shrugs not
0:54
meeting her eyes poking at his food it's
0:57
just work stuff my new promotion it's
1:00
complicated okay but Emily's not buying
1:03
it she notices the way his fingers are
1:06
drumming on the table how he's avoiding
1:10
something's off and she's starting to
1:11
connect the dots see Jack's been acting
1:14
weird for months he's been staying late
1:17
at the office always glued to his phone
1:19
texting someone with this little smirk
1:21
he's even started hitting the gym like
1:23
crazy flexing in the mirror like he's 25
1:26
again emily had chocked it up to a
1:28
midlife crisis or stress from his new
1:30
role as department head at a big
1:32
marketing firm but now with this private
1:35
talk her guts screaming that something's
1:38
wrong still she plays it cool "sure
1:42
Jack," she says softly forcing a smile
1:45
he lets out a big breath like he's
1:46
dodged a bullet thinking she's clueless
1:49
but Emily's wheels are turning that
1:52
night while Jack's in the shower his
1:54
phone buzzes on the nightstand
1:56
emily is not the snooping type but
1:58
something pulls her toward it a
2:00
notification pops up and her heart stops
2:03
it's from someone named Chloe
2:06
can't wait for next week babe got the
2:08
perfect dress for our ceremony ceremony
2:11
emily's stomach churns her hands shake
2:14
but she grabs the phone punches in
2:16
Jack's passcode his birthday real
2:19
original and scrolls through the
2:22
it's worse than she could have imagined
2:25
jack's been planning a secret wedding
2:26
with Kloe his 24-year-old assistant he's
2:29
not looking to divorce Emily because he
2:32
doesn't want to split their savings the
2:34
house or her photography studios profits
2:37
instead he's planning to marry Kloe in a
2:40
private ceremony while keeping Emily as
2:42
his legal wife just a name on paper the
2:46
betrayal hits her like a freight train
2:48
she puts the phone back exactly where it
2:50
was her hands steady now and opens her
2:54
emily is not about to cry or scream not
2:56
yet she's got a plan she fires off
3:00
emails to three people her best friend
3:02
Rachel a private investigator her
3:05
brother Tom a lawyer and Lisa Jack's
3:08
boss and an old college friend of
3:10
Emily's to Lisa she writes "Coffee
3:13
tomorrow got to talk about your new
3:15
assistant." When Jack slides into bed
3:17
later he kisses her forehead "love you
3:23
emily keeps her breathing even
3:25
pretending to sleep he has no idea the
3:28
storm that's coming the next morning
3:30
Emily kisses Jack goodbye like it's any
3:32
other day "have a good one honey," she
3:35
says watching him drive off in his shiny
3:38
new SUV as soon as he's gone she calls
3:41
Rachel "girl get over here," Rachel says
3:44
"your husband's been up to no good." An
3:47
hour later Emily's at a diner with
3:49
Rachel staring at a folder full of
3:51
evidence photos of Jack and Kloe at
3:53
fancy restaurants bank statements
3:55
showing $200,000 siphoned into a secret
3:58
account and a reservation for Pinewood
4:00
Lodge next Saturday for their wedding
4:05

4:10
in the picture emily sips her coffee her
4:12

another piece of her plan clicks into
4:19
place she thinks about the life she's
4:22
built with Jack their cozy house the
4:25
garden she planted her photography
4:27
studio that's finally turning a profit
4:30
while she was dreaming of their future
4:32
he was plotting his escape but he messed
4:34
up big time he underestimated her at
4:38
lunch Emily slides the folder across the
4:40
table to Lisa lisa's face darkens as she
4:43
flips through the photos and texts
4:46
i knew something was fishy she says
4:48
setting down her latte khloe's been
4:51
angling for a promotion and Jack's been
4:53
pushing for it hard lisa the company's

perks of being the boss," she mutters
5:13
but Lisa's not stopping there she digs
5:16
into Jack's recent moves at work and
5:18
finds he's been trying to take full
5:20
control of the department's budget
5:22
probably to funnel more cash to Chloe
5:24
"i'm launching an investigation," Lisa
5:27
says "and Khloe's job it's on thin ice."
5:31
Back home Emily keeps up the act when
5:34
Jack texts about working late she
5:36
replies "No worries babe don't burn
5:38

5:40
records to Tom the next morning Tom
