Kill for Me, Kill for You

Farrow and Hernandez enter Quinn’s home to search for clues. Hernandez is reluctant to take over the case, but Farrow is certain it was not a domestic dispute as other investigators believe. Farrow reveals that Quinn has no known family and is a wealthy self-employed consultant, but that they have no other clues about his life.

Amanda recognizes Farrow’s voice and panics, knowing that he is likely there to investigate the crime scene. As she hides under the bed, her injured knee begins to ache painfully. She overhears Hernandez commenting on Quinn’s collection of heavy-duty sleeping pills. Farrow seems to find the space where the lockbox was and moves to look under the bed.

Hernandez calls Farrow away from the bed and into the guestroom. She points out a bookshelf full of books on espionage, identity theft, and cyber warfare. Farrow suggests that maybe Quinn is involved in organized crime. They agree that, based on the masculine décor, a woman does not live in the house, and the crime was unlikely to be a domestic dispute.

As Farrow and Hernandez return downstairs, Amanda sneaks out from under the bed and opens the lockbox. She finds several large rolls of cash and takes two, suspecting that she will have to run from the police now that she has no new evidence on Quinn. She slides down the railing to avoid squeaky stairs and attempts to leave.

Hernandez and Farrow notice that the back door is open and a pane has been removed. The pair search the backyard with guns drawn, then return upstairs to check under the beds. They find the open lockbox in the primary bedroom, leading Hernandez to suggest a robbery. Hernandez looks out the window and sees a woman limping away. They chase after her.

Amanda is feeling lucky to have escaped detection when Hernandez yells at her to stop moving. She tries to run, knee pain causes her to fall. As Hernandez approaches, a black Escalade pulls up. Amanda recognizes the driver as the man who followed her the day she attacked Quinn. Facing arrest, she agrees to go with him. The man introduces himself as Billy Cameron and claims they are looking for the same woman.

Neither Farrow nor Hernandez see the license plate of the car that helped the limping woman to escape. Farrow speculates that it wasn’t a planned getaway car, given the woman’s hesitation. He questions why the woman would return to the crime scene if she was the perpetrator, given that none of her belongings were there and she left money behind.

Ruth’s outing to get breakfast fills her with confidence and joy. News reports on Travers’s death suggest that he may have had ties to organized crime. Scott is relieved, thinking police will suspect a mafia murder. Reports of one of Travers’s recent scandals reveal that he was in Hawaii on the day of Ruth’s attack. Ruth realizes Scott killed the wrong man.

Ruth has a visceral reaction to the news, and Scott fails to contain her grief and rage. He can feel the fear and despair coming back into her body as he holds her. Eventually his anger overpowers his desire to comfort her, and he destroys the kitchen cabinets before vomiting profusely. Ruth insists that Travers was a bad guy even if he wasn’t her attacker.

Billy describes the woman he is looking for, and she matches Naomi’s description. He explains that he met the woman online and, like Amanda, was betrayed after trusting her with his grief. He insists that he needs to find the woman before she hurts anyone else, and hints that he can help Amanda too. He reveals that he is a retired Marine Corps captain.

In a press conference, police officers release blurry photographs of their main suspect. Ruth recognizes her husband, but doesn’t think others will. She insists that she is glad someone was punished for her attack, even if it wasn’t the attacker. Ruth sees a blue-eyed police officer named Dan Puccini whisper “hello sweetheart” to her through the screen, and recognizes him as the man who attacked her.

Billy explains that his wife Luce was killed on the orders of her unscrupulous business partner. Billy then met a woman named Felicia in an online grief forum and, like Amanda, agreed to a murder swap involving Frank Quinn. He panicked and Felicia disappeared. Billy then learned that a woman named Deborah conned a man named Richard Kowalski into murder in the same way years earlier. Amanda agrees to help him find the woman.

Scott tells Ruth that the officer did not say “hello sweetheart,” but Ruth insists that he’s the attacker. Scott realizes that his wife is hallucinating. The gravity of what he has done and his wife’s distress becomes overwhelming. Scott calls police and admits to killing Travers and kidnapping his wife, who he says is very sick. He then jumps out their third-floor window.

Amanda spends nearly two hours reviewing Billy’s notes and confirming the important facts online. She realizes that Quinn looks nearly identical to Kowalski’s victim, Saul Benson. She reverse image searches the picture of Benson with the keywords murder and police and finds an article about another man who looks like Benson and Quinn. Embedded in the article is a photograph of Naomi.

Ruth watches as Scott jumps from their third-floor window onto the concrete below. Even as she watches blood pool from his head, she hopes that he is alive. Police come and take her away, and she begins to lose touch with her surroundings. Her last memory is of watching President George W. Bush offering a Thanksgiving address on the police television.

Amanda ignores a notification about President Donald Trump’s 2018 Thanksgiving Day address to reread an article from 2008 about Ruth Gelman’s trial. Accused of conspiracy to murder Patrick Travers, Ruth was found not guilty but sent to a psychiatric facility for seven years. Billy and Amanda believe that Ruth is searching for her attacker and manipulating others into killing for her.
