00:00:00La housekeeper était un parasite.

00:00:03Elle a移li la famille de la famille dans la maison de mon éclatement de l'hôpital.

00:00:08Quand j'ai trouvé, je n'ai pas d'exposé à eux.

00:00:10J'ai appelé une compagnie de rénovation, et j'ai un troublé de l'hôpital de l'hôpital.

00:00:15Dans ma dernière vie, la housekeeper avait la famille de l'hôpital dans ma maison.

00:00:18Ils viennent de l'hôpital à la nuit.

00:00:19J'ai rempli l'hôpital, et par la matinée, c'était l'hôpital.

00:00:21La couch était toujours en chippe.

00:00:23Je pensais que la housekeeper était juste stealing de la nourriture,

00:00:25donc je lui ai mis en place et qu'il s'est passé.

00:00:27Puis, quand j'ai été prêt à la maison de Queenstown, New Zealand,

00:00:30et vendre l'hôpital, elle s'est passé à la maison de mon éclatement,

00:00:33et j'ai mis en place dans ma maison.

00:00:34Puis, la famille a fait mon suicide note et s'est passé à l'hôpital.

00:00:37Quand j'ai ouvert mes yeux, je suis trois jours d'être venu de l'hôpital.

00:00:41La première chose que j'ai fait, c'est de l'hôpital de l'hôpital.

00:00:45Hi, est-ce que c'est l'hôpital de l'hôpital ?

00:00:46Je dois avoir un crew ici demain.

00:00:48Avant que je puisse finir, je s'entendais à Wanda Prennett,

00:00:51je suis en train de l'hôpital.

00:00:52Mrs. Reed, who are you calling this late ?

00:00:54I think the bathroom's leaking,

00:00:57so I was calling a contractor to come by tomorrow and take a look.

00:01:01Why are you still up ? Do you need something ?

00:01:03I heard something in your room, Mrs. Reed.

00:01:06I thought you were having another nightmare, so I came to check on you.

00:01:09You're okay. That's all I needed to know.

00:01:11I'm fine. Go get some rest.

00:01:13If I need anything, I'll call you.

00:01:15I watched Wanda shut the door and finally exhaled.

00:01:18My hand shook as I unlocked my phone.

00:01:20I was about to dial 911 when the door opened again.

00:01:23I flipped the phone face down on my lap, scared out of my mind.

00:01:27Wanda came back in with a glass of milk.

00:01:29I warmed up some milk for you.

00:01:31It'll help you sleep.

00:01:33Thanks. It's too hot. I'll drink it in a minute.

00:01:36Wanda doesn't leave right away.

00:01:37She stands beside the bed, studying me from head to toe.

00:01:40Only after a long pause does she finally speak.

00:01:42Drink it before it gets cold, Mrs. Reed.

00:01:43Cold milk can upset your stomach, Mrs. Reed.

00:01:46Don't forget to drink it.

00:01:48When the door shut again, I stared at the milk and changed my mind about calling the police.

00:01:54A few years in jail would be letting those bloodsuckers off easy.

00:01:57Since fate gave me another chance, I was going to pay them back in kind.

00:02:01I took the milk into the master bathroom and poured every last drop into the toilet.

00:02:05Then I put the glass back on the nightstand, pulled the covers over me, and pretended to sleep.

00:02:11About ten minutes later, Wanda crept back to my bedside.

00:02:23Wanda inspects the empty glass.

00:02:25Satisfied, she closes the door and leaves.

00:02:30Once I'm sure her guard is down, I slip out of bed and pad barefoot out of the master bedroom.

00:02:35I press myself flat against the upstairs landing rail, held my breath, and looked down.

00:02:39Wanda went downstairs like she'd done it a hundred times, pulled out a key, and opened the basement.

00:02:44Then three men and two women crawled out like rats.

00:02:47Her husband, her brother, and Evan Parker, the man who strangled me in my last life.

00:02:53The other two were her mother-in-law and her high school daughter.

00:02:57I clapped a hand over my mouth, afraid to make even the slightest sound.

00:03:01In my last life, Wanda sopped about having a whole family to support.

00:03:06I felt sorry for her, so I paid her twice the going rate for live-in housekeeper.

00:03:13She even brought the whole family over, carrying a basket of homemade pastries, to thank me.

00:03:18So their little thank-you visit had really been a scouting trip.

00:03:22They were casing my home so the whole family could move in and take over.

00:03:27And now these parasites were sprawled across my couch, watching TV.

00:03:32Wanda's husband opened my double-door fridge,

00:03:34took out the fresh Maine lobster that had been delivered the day before, and headed for the kitchen.

00:03:40Her mother-in-law casually swiped a bottle of Romané Conti from the temperature-controlled wine cellar.

00:03:45The bottle was worth five figures.

00:03:47Wanda's brother, Cal Bennett, hunched his shoulders and glanced upstairs, uneasy.

00:03:52Sis, keep it down. Don't wake that girl up.

00:03:57What are you scared of? I put extra sleeping pills in your milk.

00:04:00A thunderstorm wouldn't wake her up right now.

00:04:02Hidden in the dark, I broke out in a cold sweat.

00:04:05No wonder in my last life, I never heard a thing downstairs at night.

00:04:08Not once. Not even on the night I died.

00:04:13Mom, if we keep raiding the fridge every night, won't she get suspicious?

00:04:25That girl's just a rich idiot.

00:04:27Her parents split years ago and ran off to Europe and Australia.

00:04:30Nobody gives a damn if she lives or dies.

00:04:33If she asks, I'll deny everything.

00:04:35What's she going to do to me?

00:04:37Besides, this place is in the middle of nowhere.

00:04:40It's a full two hours from downtown and none of the neighbors have even moved in.

00:04:44She's got mental issues, she's always taking pills and there are no cameras here.

00:04:49She doesn't have a shred of proof, so what are we scared of?

00:04:54Worst case, I'll say her meds made her hallucinate.

00:04:59Thinking back to my last life, I did notice things kept going missing around the estate.

00:05:04But my childhood trauma left me severely triggered by the feeling of being watched, so I never installed cameras.

00:05:09And it was always just food and drinks, nothing valuable, so I didn't think much of it.

00:05:13Worse.

00:05:13Wanda knew I couldn't sleep and was on medication, so she kept changing her story about when things happened, until

00:05:20I thought my memory was failing.

00:05:23When I looked up, Evan and Lily were already heading for the spiral staircase to the second floor.

00:05:28I slipped back into the master bedroom, crawled under the covers, and closed my eyes.

00:05:33The second I settled in, the door opened.

00:05:36After some rustling, Lily gasped from the walk-in closet.

00:05:40Look at this dress, and this diamond necklace. How does she get to live like this?

00:05:44Why does she get all this? The mansion, the designer clothes, everything. It should all be mine.

00:05:51If you want it, take it. She's got more clothes and jewelry than she could ever use.

00:05:55A few things go missing, she'll never notice.

00:05:57Then Evan started impatiently urging Lily to hurry up and leave.

00:06:01Don't go too far. Mom said she's never even had a boyfriend.

00:06:05She's a virgin. Don't wake her up and ruin this for the whole family.

00:06:09Yeah, yeah. Quit nagging.

00:06:13My stomach lurched so hard I thought I was going to throw up.

00:06:17But I bit down hard on my tongue, using the pain to keep myself perfectly still, not even a tremor.

00:06:23If he realizes I'm awake, it'll happen all over again.

00:06:26He could grab a rope and kill me all over again.

00:06:35You little bastard. Are you trying to ruin this for all of us?

00:06:38If you wake her up and she finds out, what the hell are we supposed to live on?

00:06:45Then kill her.

00:06:46Bury her in the basement, and this estate and everything in it will be ours.

00:06:51The room falls dead silent.

00:06:52Wanda Bennett actually seems to be seriously considering whether to kill me.

00:06:56My palms are slick with cold sweat.

00:06:58I hold my breath and force myself to think.

00:07:03If they made a move right then, I'd have to take my chances, even if it meant jumping from the

00:07:08second floor balcony and breaking a leg.

00:07:13No.

00:07:14That little bitch said she hired a repair grang for the leak tomorrow.

00:07:18If we kill her now and they show up to find no one here, they'll call the cops.

00:07:22We're all screwed.

00:07:26We wait until tomorrow.

00:07:28Once we've sent the repair crew away, we can take our time killing her.

00:07:32When the repair crew gets here tomorrow, all of you stay in the basement.

00:07:36Not a damn sound.

00:07:38I'll lock the security door from outside and take the key with me.

00:07:41It's a security door.

00:07:43Without the key, nobody can open it.

00:07:45She never goes down to the basement anyway.

00:07:47If I'm not home, she'll never find you.

00:07:50Yeah, yeah.

00:07:51We'll do it your way.

00:07:52Let's go.

00:07:53I hear the door close and keep my eyes squeezed shut, not daring to flutter a single eyelash.

00:07:58I keep pretending to be dead asleep.

00:08:01A full half hour passes.

00:08:03Just as I'm about to open my eyes, someone's breath suddenly looms close to my face, foul and rotten.

00:08:09Mom, looks like she's really still out.

00:08:11Evan Parker's voice is right beside me.

00:08:13I dig my nails into my tie and force myself to stay calm.

00:08:18All right, let's go.

00:08:19That giant lobster's almost done steaming.

00:08:22The door closes again.

00:08:23To be safe, I lie there in the dark for another half hour.

00:08:27Only when I'm sure they're really gone do I slowly open my eyes.

00:08:30Fine, you parasites want me dead?

00:08:33Fine, then don't blame me for showing no mercy.

00:08:35I text the foreman.

00:08:37Mr. Shaw, bring plenty of concrete mix and masonry supplies tomorrow morning.

00:08:40I want that abandoned basement sealed shut for good.

00:08:46That night, Evan Parker never came into my room again.

00:08:50But I couldn't sleep at all.

00:08:54Even through the thick floorboards, I could still hear the muffled cheering downstairs.

00:08:59I kept reminding myself,

00:09:03tomorrow, everything would be fine.

00:09:05I was going to make sure those sewer rats never saw daylight again.

00:09:09When I came downstairs the next morning,

00:09:12the whole hilltop estate was back to normal.

00:09:16Mrs. Reed, you're up.

00:09:18Did you sleep well last night?

00:09:20I caught the test in her voice,

00:09:22so I deliberately stretched and rubbed my eyes.

00:09:25Great.

00:09:26Slept straight through till morning.

00:09:28Didn't even dream.

00:09:30Mrs. Reed, I'd like to take the day off today.

00:09:33There's an urgent family matter back home, out of state.

00:09:36I need to go deal with it.

00:09:38I'll probably be back tomorrow morning.

00:09:40Inside, I was thrilled.

00:09:42On the outside, I frowned a little and acted like I couldn't manage without her.

00:09:47All right, but make sure you're back early tomorrow.

00:09:51Oh, of course.

00:09:52Absolutely.

00:09:53Less than half an hour after Wanda left, the renovation crew showed up.

00:09:57Foreman Shaw came in with four burly workers,

00:10:00hauling big bags of cement and stacks of red bricks.

00:10:03Mrs. Reed, we've got all the sand and cement you asked for.

00:10:06But this estate's in perfectly good shape.

00:10:09Why seal off the basement?

00:10:10We've got rats in the house.

00:10:12Nothing kills them, so sealing it up is the only option.

00:10:15Money's not the issue.

00:10:16Finish the job, and I'll pay you triple.

00:10:19Don't worry, Miss Reed.

00:10:20We know this kind of job.

00:10:21All right, boys, let's get to work.

00:10:29Five burly men get to work at once,

00:10:31mixing cement and hauling bricks.

00:10:34In less than four hours,

00:10:36the basement security door is sealed over with cement.

00:10:39Then Foreman Shaw takes his men to the backyard

00:10:41and seals up the basement vent, too.

00:10:46After the crew leaves,

00:10:48I pour myself a glass of red wine and sit on the couch,

00:10:50staring at the cement wall.

00:10:54It feels unbelievably satisfying.

00:11:00Early the next morning,

00:11:01Wanda Bennett comes back with groceries.

00:11:05Oh, Miss Raina, you're up so early.

00:11:07You must be hungry, right?

00:11:09I'll go make some oatmeal with nuts right away.

00:11:13To get to the kitchen,

00:11:14she has to pass the corner by the basement entrance.

00:11:16The second Wanda Bennett rounds that corner,

00:11:19she casually asks,

00:11:20By the way, Mrs. Reed,

00:11:22did the renovation crew do a good job yesterday?

00:11:24Oh, they were fast.

00:11:26Very fast.

00:11:27Don't believe me?

00:11:28Turn around and see for yourself.

00:11:31Wanda Bennett stops and turns toward the basement door.

00:11:35The next second,

00:11:36all the color drains from her face.

00:11:39Where the security door used to be,

00:11:41there is now a thick wall of cement and brick.

00:11:45This...

00:11:46Where's the door?

00:11:47We had rats in the house,

00:11:48so I had the renovation crew seal up the rat hole.

00:11:51No more rats.

00:11:53Ever.

00:11:55No, you can't!

00:11:56Seal it up!

00:11:58Um!

00:12:00Wanda, why are you so upset?

00:12:02Hurry!

00:12:03Miss Reed,

00:12:04call the crew back right now

00:12:05and have them tear this wall down!

00:12:12Why would we break it open?

00:12:13I finally got it sealed up.

00:12:15What if the rats get out again?

00:12:20If we don't open it now,

00:12:21it'll be too late.

00:12:23Miss Reed,

00:12:24please,

00:12:24get someone in here to break that wall open.

00:12:28Inside.

00:12:29I was laughing inside,

00:12:30but I put on my most confused face.

00:12:33What about inside, Wanda?

00:12:34Spit it out.

00:12:35Besides, that's powered concrete.

00:12:37Breaking through it will take a lot of work.

00:12:39Oh my god!

00:12:40There's someone in there!

00:12:42There's someone in the basement!

00:12:44That's impossible.

00:12:45My basement's been abandoned forever.

00:12:47No one ever goes down there.

00:12:49How could there be someone inside?

00:12:50Wanda,

00:12:51stop joking around.

00:12:54I'm not joking!

00:12:55Call them!

00:12:56Call the crew right now!

00:12:58Still scree-screaming,

00:12:59Wanda lunged for my phone on the coffee table.

00:13:02I shoved her off hard.

00:13:04She staggered and slammed onto her back.

00:13:06Wanda,

00:13:07are you out of your mind?

00:13:08You actually put your hands on me?

00:13:11I hired you to work in my home.

00:13:13That doesn't give you the right to attack me.

00:13:15You're fired.

00:13:16Now get the hell out!

00:13:18Right now!

00:13:19The second she heard the word fired,

00:13:22Wanda dropped the act.

00:13:25Fine.

00:13:26You vicious little bitch.

00:13:27Call that crew back and have them break open this wall,

00:13:30or I'm not leaving.

00:13:31Not even if you drag me out.

00:13:32I'm staying right here!

00:13:34Let's see what the hell you can do about it!

00:13:38Her little tantrum didn't rattle me.

00:13:40I just let out a cold laugh.

00:13:42You asked for this.

00:13:44Come in.

00:13:50I paid a fortune to bring them in from a private security firm.

00:13:54They were already posted outside the gates first thing this morning.

00:13:58You!

00:14:00What are you trying to do?

00:14:01Get this lunatic out of my house now.

00:14:04I don't care what she says.

00:14:05She is not to set foot in this estate again.

00:14:09Let go of me!

00:14:10Let me go!

00:14:11Ah!

00:14:13They're killing them!

00:14:15My husband!

00:14:17My son!

00:14:20The guards dragged Wanda out through the iron gate,

00:14:23but she kept screaming.

00:14:24A full day and night trapped in an airtight basement.

00:14:27Must have been awful, huh?

00:14:29I wonder if those rats in there are dead or still alive.

00:14:32About ten minutes later,

00:14:34Wanda called 911.

00:14:36Hello?

00:14:37911?

00:14:38Someone's been buried alive!

00:14:40It's murder!

00:14:41Number eight in the Hillcrest Estates development.

00:14:43Get here now, or they're all gonna die in there!

00:14:46Good.

00:14:47Let her call the police.

00:14:48This is exactly what I was waiting for, for her to call 911.

00:14:52Less than twenty minutes later,

00:14:53two patrol cars pulled up outside.

00:14:55Several uniformed officers rushed out.

00:14:59Officers!

00:15:00Thank God you're finally here!

00:15:02Please help!

00:15:03My whole family is buried alive in there!

00:15:05That monster sealed them in there!

00:15:06They're gonna die!

00:15:10Hello, ma'am.

00:15:12We got a 911 call about a possible homicide on the property.

00:15:15We're here to investigate.

00:15:17A homicide?

00:15:19I don't know what you're talking about.

00:15:21Bullshit!

00:15:22You had the construction crew seal the basement door shut with cement!

00:15:26My whole family is in there!

00:15:29She's trying to kill them!

00:15:33Ma'am, is that true?

00:15:39Officer, don't listen to her.

00:15:41She's making it all up.

00:15:42This house is in the middle of nowhere.

00:15:45Our basement's been abandoned for years, and it's full of huge rats.

00:15:49I've been terrified of rats since I was little.

00:15:52I had no choice.

00:15:53I paid a crew to seal the door yesterday.

00:15:56If you don't believe me, ask the foreman, Mr. Shaw.

00:16:01Seeing me cry like that, the officers softened a little.

00:16:06Do you have the foreman's number?

00:16:07We need to verify that.

00:16:10Yee, yes, I do.

00:16:13I hurriedly pulled out my phone, found Mr. Shaw's number, and handed it to the officer.

00:16:19The officer called him right there and put it on speaker.

00:16:23Hello, this is Detective Carter with the City Police Department.

00:16:27We need to ask you about the work you did at the Hillcrest Estate yesterday.

00:16:32On the other end, Mr. Shaw paused.

00:16:37His voice tightened.

00:16:39Police, what's going on?

00:16:41I haven't done anything wrong.

00:16:42Before you sealed the basement yesterday, did you go inside and check it?

00:16:46Was anyone in there?

00:16:47People?

00:16:48How could there be people in there?

00:16:50That basement was dark and damp.

00:16:52It smelled like mold.

00:16:54And there were rat droppings everywhere.

00:16:56Miss Reed said there were rats, so I even swept the whole place with my flashlight.

00:17:00Besides some rags and cardboard boxes in the corner, there wasn't a soul down there.

00:17:04Officer, I've been doing this for 20 years.

00:17:07You think I can't tell a person from a rat?

00:17:10He's lying.

00:17:11That little bitch definitely paid him off.

00:17:14My husband, my son, my daughter, my brother, and my mother-in-law.

00:17:19Five living, breathing people.

00:17:21How could they turn into rats?

00:17:23Officer, break open the wall.

00:17:25Smash it open and you'll see.

00:17:30The officers look at Wanda, completely hysterical, then at me, trembling and crying.

00:17:37Clearly, they were more inclined to believe me.

00:17:40I mean, who hides their entire family of five in someone else's basement?

00:17:45But this involved five lives, so they had to verify it.

00:17:48Miss Reed, to clear you as a suspect, we need to open that wall and verify what's behind it.

00:17:55If this turns out to be a false report, the caller will be liable for the damage.

00:18:05I'll cooperate with the investigation.

00:18:07If it proves I'm innocent, then go ahead.

00:18:09Tear it down.

00:18:11Innocent?

00:18:11You're rotten to the core.

00:18:13You did this on purpose.

00:18:14I'm telling you, Reyna.

00:18:15If anything happens to my family, I'll take you down with me.

00:18:19Settle down.

00:18:20Don't cause a scene.

00:18:21Officer, look at her.

00:18:22She's scared because she's guilty.

00:18:24She wants to kill me to shut me up.

00:18:31My family's in there.

00:18:33She sealed it up on purpose.

00:18:34She's a murderer.

00:18:35A few people quickly gathered outside.

00:18:37Estate security and two neighbors who'd been passing by, peering in through the doorway.

00:18:41What's going on?

00:18:42I heard somebody died.

00:18:44Nobody died.

00:18:45I heard the housekeeper hid her family in the basement, and the homer sealed them in.

00:18:50No way.

00:18:50How could something that insane even happen?

00:18:53Who knows?

00:18:54Look at that housekeeper making a scene.

00:18:56She looks like trouble.

00:19:01Everyone, you tell me, is this right?

00:19:04She thinks just because she's got money, she can treat people's lives like they mean nothing.

00:19:09She sealed my family of five in the basement.

00:19:12She's trying to suffocate them to death.

00:19:14And the cops are taking her side?

00:19:16Where's the justice in that?

00:19:22Wanda Bennett, disrupt this again, and we'll take you in for obstruction.

00:19:28Officer, maybe we should open it up now, just in case there really is.

00:19:32I don't want anyone getting hurt.

00:19:34The lead officer nodded and immediately called in a professional crew to break it open.

00:19:39Not long after, several workers showed up with sledgehammers, power drills, and other tools.

00:19:45The estate manager came in too, carrying the basement blueprints.

00:19:51Officer, these are the basement plans for the development.

00:19:53This basement is separate, with only one entrance.

00:19:56There's a vent in the backyard, about a foot wide.

00:19:59The vent! The vent! Go break that open first! Get some air in there!

00:20:06The vent?

00:20:07I had the contractors seal that up too.

00:20:10That's where the rats were getting in.

00:20:12You evil bitch!

00:20:16You sealed the vent shut too.

00:20:18You were trying to wipe them all out!

00:20:22I was just trying to keep the rats out.

00:20:24How was I supposed to know there were people in there?

00:20:28Wanda, that's not fair.

00:20:30This is my home.

00:20:32How was I supposed to know people were hiding in my basement?

00:20:38The workers already had their tools set up, and the drill roars to life.

00:20:42Dust flies everywhere.

00:20:44I put on a mask, step back a few paces, and move to the other side of the living room.

00:20:50The officers drag Wanda to the door.

00:20:53She stares at the wall, muttering non-spop.

00:20:57Please, let them be okay.

00:21:00Please, let them be okay.

00:21:06I had Mr. Shaw build that wall with high-grade cement and red brick, two layers thick, and

00:21:12the security door was solid to begin with.

00:21:14There was no way they were getting it open anytime soon.

00:21:19Second by second, time drags.

00:21:23Wanda is losing her mind.

00:21:25She keeps trying to rush over and claw at the bricks with her bare hands, but the police

00:21:29stop her every time.

00:21:30Hurry, hurry up.

00:21:32There's no air in there.

00:21:33They'll suffocate.

00:21:35Raina, tell them to stop right now.

00:21:37I won't blame you.

00:21:38Tell them to break open the vent first.

00:21:40There are elderly people in there, and kids.

00:21:42Please, just let them get some air first, okay?

00:21:48Wanda, the police are handling it.

00:21:50Let's not get in the way.

00:21:52Besides, if there really are people in there, why didn't you say so sooner?

00:21:57I...

00:22:00You knew the whole time, didn't you?

00:22:03You did this on purpose.

00:22:04You waited until I was gone, then sealed it up.

00:22:09How would I know?

00:22:12If I'd known there were people in there, I never would have sealed it up.

00:22:15That's five lives.

00:22:17I couldn't live with that.

00:22:20Drop the act.

00:22:23You've been acting weird for days, always staring at the basement.

00:22:27You found out a long time ago, didn't you?

00:22:30I was looking at the basement, because I kept hearing rats down there.

00:22:35Wanda, weren't you the one who kept telling me there were rats in the basement and that I should stay

00:22:40away?

00:22:44The neighbors hear us and start whispering.

00:22:47So the housekeeper knew about the rats in the basement all along?

00:22:51No, wait.

00:22:52Her family's in there, aren't they?

00:22:57Exactly.

00:22:58Since when does a housekeeper get control of the homeowner's basement?

00:23:01Something's not right.

00:23:03She looks pretty meek, though.

00:23:05Doesn't seem like a bad person.

00:23:07Who knows?

00:23:08You never know what someone's capable of.

00:23:11Two hours in, the outer layer of red brick is finally gone,

00:23:16exposing a thick slab of concrete underneath.

00:23:20Then Wanda suddenly seems to hear something.

00:23:22She throws herself at the base of the wall and presses her ear against it.

00:23:28I hear something.

00:23:30They're banging on the wall from inside.

00:23:32They're still alive.

00:23:33Hurry up!

00:23:34They're still alive!

00:23:35Come on, keep going!

00:23:37The workers ignore her and keep drilling, steady as ever.

00:23:40Wanda starts slapping the wall in a panic.

00:23:43Evan!

00:23:44Lily!

00:23:44Just hang on a little longer.

00:23:46Mom's getting you out.

00:23:48She keeps pounding on the wall, but no answer comes from the other side.

00:23:53Why did it stop?

00:23:55I heard them just a second ago.

00:23:58Say something.

00:23:59Answer me.

00:24:02No.

00:24:03No, that's impossible.

00:24:05This wall is insanely thick.

00:24:07High-strength concrete all the way through.

00:24:09It's like a damn bunker.

00:24:10The homeowner said if you really want to keep rats out, you have to seal it tight.

00:24:13Otherwise, there's no point.

00:24:15Yeah.

00:24:16Rats in a place this big?

00:24:17Total nightmare.

00:24:22A full four hours later, the security door buried behind the concrete finally comes

00:24:27into view.

00:24:27The moment the workers cut through the security door, a sickening stench rolls out of the basement.

00:24:33The workers and officers close to it clamp their hands over their noses and stagger back.

00:24:38One of them runs outside and starts dry heaving.

00:24:41Oh my god.

00:24:42What the hell is that smell?

00:24:44The lead officer frowns, immediately pulls out a high-powered flashlight, and shines

00:24:49it into the basement.

00:24:52The next second, everyone who sees inside freezes in shock.

00:25:00The entire basement floor is smeared with vomit and human waste, and sprawled in that filth

00:25:05are five people.

00:25:07Their faces are bluish-gray, their lips purple, their eyes bloodshot and bulging.

00:25:12Deep scratchers rake every one of their necks, like they clawed at themselves while they

00:25:16suffocated.

00:25:17There really are people in here.

00:25:22Evan, honey, mom!

00:25:24Wanda scrambles into the basement, drops to her knees, and violently shakes Evan, who lies

00:25:29closest to the door.

00:25:31The monster who strangled me to death in my last life is sprawled on the floor now, limp and

00:25:36motionless.

00:25:36My son, wake up!

00:25:39Look at me!

00:25:40Don't do this to me!

00:25:42Wanda frantily slaps Evan's face, but he gives no response.

00:25:46Then she crawls to her husband, her mother-in-law, and her brother.

00:25:50Not one of them responds.

00:25:57The forensic examiner pulls on gloves, crouches down, checks each one for breathing, then

00:26:02lifts their eyelids.

00:26:03No vital signs.

00:26:04Preliminary estimate, time of death was 10 to 12 hours ago.

00:26:08Most likely cause is mechanical asphyxia.

00:26:11We'll need autopsies to confirm.

00:26:13Dead.

00:26:13They're all dead.

00:26:15Wanda is shaking all over.

00:26:17Then she spins around and glares at me like she wants to tear me apart.

00:26:20It was you.

00:26:22You killed them.

00:26:23Officer, arrest her.

00:26:25Lock her up for life.

00:26:26She sealed that door on purpose.

00:26:28She's the killer.

00:26:29She's a murderer.

00:26:34Don't do anything rash.

00:26:35We're still processing the scene.

00:26:36I'm being rash?

00:26:38My family's dead.

00:26:39Am I not allowed to lose it?

00:26:42Reyna, you little bitch.

00:26:44I hope you rot in hell.

00:26:46Even death won't stop me from coming after you.

00:27:01How...

00:27:02How could there really be people down here?

00:27:05Wanda Bennett, why is your whole family down here?

00:27:07What the hell are you trying to do?

00:27:08What were we doing?

00:27:09Living here.

00:27:10So what?

00:27:11If you hadn't sealed that door, would they be dead?

00:27:15I've been in this house longer than you have.

00:27:18What right did you have to seal it up?

00:27:21You killed them on purpose.

00:27:23You'll pay with your life.

00:27:24The police saw me break down and they were already starting to connect the dots.

00:27:28After all, the housekeeper had secretly moved her entire family of five into her employer's basement.

00:27:34That alone was horrifying.

00:27:35Miss Reed, just try to stay calm.

00:27:39Officer, look over there.

00:27:46What's in that box?

00:27:48The forensic examiner walks over and opens the box.

00:27:51Inside are several luxury handbags, a few diamond necklaces, and neatly folded couture gowns.

00:27:57These don't look like things a housekeeper could afford.

00:28:03Miss Reed, are these yours?

00:28:09Miss Reed, are these yours?

00:28:26They're mine.

00:28:28I bought the knockoffs.

00:28:30Knockoffs?

00:28:33Wanda Bennett, you make $8,000 a month.

00:28:36You can afford knockoffs worth hundreds of thousands?

00:28:40And my initials are engraved inside that necklace.

00:28:44Want to take a look?

00:28:49The young officer starts pulling the items out one by one and logging them.

00:28:53Officer, there's cash too.

00:28:55An envelope with $20,000 in it.

00:28:58And a watch.

00:28:59A men's Patek Philippe.

00:29:01My dad left that here last year.

00:29:06Wanda Bennett, how do you explain this?

00:29:19Your son snuck into my house and stole my things, and you expect me to believe you knew nothing?

00:29:25Wanda Bennett, I treated you well, didn't I?

00:29:28I paid you double, gave you holiday bonuses, and this is how you repay me?

00:29:32Don't give me that crap.

00:29:35You think that money makes you generous?

00:29:38If you hadn't sealed that door, would my son be dead?

00:29:42I'm telling you, this isn't over.

00:29:45This isn't over?

00:29:48I agree.

00:29:49This isn't over.

00:29:51You snuck your whole family into my house, stole from me, and who knows what else you were doing at

00:29:57night.

00:29:58Now they died in my house, and I haven't even held you accountable yet.

00:30:03You want answers from me?

00:30:04My whole family is dead?

00:30:08I'm telling you, Reyna, you have to pay for my family's lives.

00:30:12I'll make sure you rot in prison.

00:30:15Enough.

00:30:18The scene investigation isn't over, so stop yelling.

00:30:21Wanda Bennett, you're coming to the station with us for questions.

00:30:24Why are you taking me?

00:30:26She's the killer.

00:30:27Why aren't you arresting her?

00:30:28Did she pay you off?

00:30:29You took money from her, didn't you?

00:30:31Keep talking like that, and I'll detain you for obstruction.

00:30:35Enough.

00:30:36The dead come first.

00:30:37Get the bodies out.

00:30:39We'll sort out the rest later.

00:30:41The medical examiner's team begins removing the bodies.

00:30:51One covered stretcher after another rolls past Wanda.

00:30:55Then her knees give out, and she collapses to the floor, wailing.

00:30:59She pound the floor as she cries, screaming her son's and husband's names, completely shattered.

00:31:04The neighbors at the boar watch the scene and start murmuring among themselves.

00:31:09God, what a tragedy.

00:31:11Her whole family is gone.

00:31:13They had it coming.

00:31:14They broke into someone else's house and stole from her.

00:31:17Who wouldn't be furious?

00:31:22You can't say that.

00:31:23Five people are dead.

00:31:24That girl went too far.

00:31:27Ruthless!

00:31:27If a whole family of thieves moved into your house, wouldn't you be terrified?

00:31:33Miss Reed, are you okay?

00:31:34I...

00:31:35I'm a little dizzy.

00:31:45When I wake up again, I'm lying in a private hospital suite, still hooked up to an IV.

00:31:52Miss Reed, you're awake.

00:31:55How are you feeling?

00:31:57You're in the hospital.

00:31:58You collapsed at the estate, and the police called an ambulance.

00:32:02You've been unconscious for almost a day.

00:32:04Do you want some water?

00:32:06I'll go get the doctor.

00:32:12Not long after, a middle-aged doctor holding a lab report walks in.

00:32:17It's good to see you're awake.

00:32:19There is something I need to discuss with you.

00:32:22Doctor, what is it?

00:32:24During your exam and blood work, we found a very serious problem.

00:32:29We found a high concentration of sleeping pills in your blood.

00:32:33Based on the levels, this wasn't a one-time dose.

00:32:36It's been accumulating in your system for a while.

00:32:40Miss Reed, do you have a severe sleep disorder?

00:32:43Have you been taking large doses of sleeping pills without telling anyone?

00:32:47At this dosage, it could kill you.

00:32:55Sleeping pills?

00:32:56That's impossible.

00:32:58I've never bought sleeping pills.

00:33:00I've definitely never taken them.

00:33:02Are you sure you never took any?

00:33:04Then how did they get into your system?

00:33:06The doctor frowns, clearly caught off guard by my answer.

00:33:09Wanda Bennett has always prepared all my meals and looked after the house.

00:33:14Every night before bed, she'd bring me a glass of hot milk.

00:33:18She said it would help me sleep.

00:33:20No wonder I've been sleeping so deeply lately.

00:33:23I couldn't even hear thunder.

00:33:25But every morning, I'd wake up exhausted.

00:33:27I could barely find the strength to move.

00:33:31I thought I was just overworking myself.

00:33:40Doctor, do you think Wanda Bennett has been drugging my milk this whole time?

00:33:49Officer, what happened?

00:33:51Why are there dead people in my basement?

00:33:53And Wanda Bennett, why would she drug me?

00:33:58Miss Reed, that's what we're trying to find out, and we need your help.

00:34:01Right now, Wanda Bennett is in police custody.

00:34:03She was extremely agitated in the squad car.

00:34:06She insists you deliberately sealed the basement with cement and murdered five members of her family.

00:34:11No, no, no, no.

00:34:12I didn't.

00:34:13I swear I didn't.

00:34:15How could I kill anyone, officer?

00:34:17I really don't know anything.

00:34:23I hired Wanda Bennett as a live-in housekeeper through a domestic staffing agency over a year ago.

00:34:28She was efficient, and she seemed kind.

00:34:31I treated her well.

00:34:32I even paid her better than most.

00:34:34She never gave me any reason to suspect her.

00:34:37She was always smiling and took excellent care of me.

00:34:40The officer keeps taking notes, watching my face the whole time.

00:34:44In all that time, you never noticed anything unusual in the house?

00:34:48I sniffle, trying to think back, then answer hesitantly.

00:34:52If I had to name something, a while back, I noticed things in the house kept mysteriously going missing.

00:35:00Fruit would disappear from the fridge, and there'd be snack crumbs on the couch.

00:35:05But none of it was all that valuable, so I didn't think much of it.

00:35:09I figured Wanda was sneaking food.

00:35:12She was older, and the work was hard, so I let it slide.

00:35:18Then why did you never go down to the basement?

00:35:21It was your house.

00:35:23Just then, the hospital room door slams open.

00:35:27Two thugs charge in.

00:35:29The one in front has bleached hair, and the second he steps through the door, he points at me and

00:35:33starts shouting.

00:35:33You the bitch who got my aunt and the others killed!

00:35:37I'm telling you right now, if you don't give us an answer today, you're not getting off easy.

00:35:48Who are you? How did you get in here?

00:35:50This is a hospital room. You can't make a scene here.

00:35:53Make a scene? We're here for justice.

00:35:57My aunt said you sealed that door on purpose and killed them.

00:36:01Either you pay up, or we'll blast this all over social media and show everyone what a vicious bitch you

00:36:07are.

00:36:08That's right. Pay up. Five million dollars. Minimum.

00:36:12Or we'll come here every day and make your life hell.

00:36:21Who are you? I don't even know you.

00:36:25You don't know me? I'm Wanda Bennett's nephew, Wes Bennett.

00:36:29My uncle, my cousin, and the rest of my family died down there.

00:36:34My aunt said you sealed that door on purpose and killed them.

00:36:37Either you pay up, or we blast this all over the internet and destroy you.

00:36:45Get out.

00:36:49This is a hospital. Keep this up, and I'll call the police.

00:36:55Call them. Go ahead.

00:36:58You think the cops can stop us from getting justice?

00:37:04You're faking it.

00:37:06You got people killed and still have the nerve to stay in a private hospital suite?

00:37:13I'll drag you out myself and make you answer to my aunt.

00:37:19And to the dead.

00:37:20Before his hand even touches the blanket, the door to the room flies open.

00:37:25Two plainclothes officers rush in and, without a word, grab him by the arms.

00:37:30Hey, what the hell are you doing? Let me go!

00:37:34The other man sees the tide turning and bolts.

00:37:37Another officer kicks out the back of his knee, and he slams to the floor.

00:37:42Keep fighting, and we'll haul you out.

00:37:46You can't do this. I'll sue you for assault.

00:37:49The officers ignore him and drag both men out of the room.

00:37:54Come on! Come on! Come on! Go! Come on!

00:37:57Their curses fade down the hall until the house finally goes quiet.

00:38:01Miss Reed, are you okay?

00:38:02I'm so sorry. We couldn't stop them.

00:38:05I'm fine. This isn't your fault.

00:38:09Officer, you saw it yourself.

00:38:11They forced their way in here and threatened me.

00:38:14Is Wanda Bennett's whole family like this?

00:38:19Don't worry. We'll notify hospital security not to let anyone else up here.

00:38:23If they start causing trouble again, call the police.

00:38:26The doctor sees that nothing's seriously wrong,

00:38:29tells me to get some rest and take my medicine on time,

00:38:31then leaves.

00:38:33Miss Reed, get some rest for now. We'll come back tomorrow and continue.

00:38:36If you remember any details you left out, let us know anytime.

00:38:38Okay. Thank you, officer.

00:38:42After the officers left, I picked up my phone and texted Miles.

00:38:45Mr. Cole, please come to the hospital tomorrow.

00:38:48Also, look into all of Wanda Bennett's relatives and family tree and her past work history.

00:38:54After I sent the message, I set my phone down and closed my eyes.

00:38:59Not long after, my phone rang. It was my mom.

00:39:04Hi, mom.

00:39:05Reina, my baby girl. Are you okay? You scared me to death. I'm so sorry, baby.

00:39:14Your dad and I already chartered a private jet and we're on our way back. We'll be there in a

00:39:18few hours.

00:39:20Mom, I'm okay. Please be careful. Don't rush on my account.

00:39:24After what happened, of course we're rushing home. Just wait for us. We'll be there soon.

00:39:32After I hung up, I set my phone aside and stared at the ceiling.

00:39:37The room was dead quiet. Just the beeping of the monitors.

00:39:41The next morning, the officers came back. The same two from yesterday.

00:39:47Miss Reed, how are you feeling today? Are you able to give a statement?

00:39:52Yes, officer.

00:39:57Let's pick up where we left off yesterday.

00:39:59You said you've never been to the basement. So who had the key the whole time?

00:40:04Wanda Bennett.

00:40:08After the renovation, I gave her a copy of the basement key so she could clean down there.

00:40:13I hardly used the basement after that, so she kept it.

00:40:16You didn't keep a key yourself?

00:40:18I did, but I don't know where it is. I haven't seen it in a long time.

00:40:22I think I lost it when I moved last year. I told Wanda, and she said her copy was enough,

00:40:27so I didn't make another one.

00:40:29So on the 15th of last month, did you ask Wanda to clear out the basement so you could store

00:40:34your seasonal clothes there?

00:40:36Yes, that's right. I was rotating my wardrobe for the season, and I had too many clothes. My closet was

00:40:41full, so I wanted to store some in the basement.

00:40:44Then what?

00:40:45Then Wanda said the basement was too dirty. It hadn't been cleaned in a long time, dust everywhere, and rat

00:40:51droppings. She said she'd clean it first, then call me.

00:40:57I waited a few days. She kept saying she wasn't done, and that there were dead rats down there, that

00:41:02it smelled awful, and told me to give her more time.

00:41:05Then I forgot about it and put the clothes in another room.

00:41:08A look of understanding passes between the officers.

00:41:11Miss Reed, Wanda's statement says you insisted on going down there, she tried to stop you, and the two of

00:41:16you argued because you said she wasn't doing her job. Did that happen?

00:41:19An argument? No. Why would I argue with her over that? They were just clothes. I could have stored them

00:41:24anywhere.

00:41:27And I've been terrified of rats since I was little. The second she said there were dead rats down there,

00:41:32I would have stayed as far away as possible. Why would I insist on going down there?

00:41:36Have any valuables gone missing? Jewelry? Watches? Cash? Anything like that?

00:41:43Actually, yes. A few things have gone missing.

00:41:50For example, a friend gave me a diamond bracelet for my birthday.

00:41:55It was worth over $20,000, and it disappeared from my jewelry box last month.

00:42:00My dad's watch was in the study. That's gone too.

00:42:04At first, I thought I'd misplaced them. I searched everywhere and still couldn't find them.

00:42:09Then yesterday, when I saw those things in the basement, I realized they were probably stolen.

00:42:16A few couture dresses and coats are missing too.

00:42:20I'd barely worn them. Looking back, they probably took those too.

00:42:24Do you have a rough estimate of what it was all worth?

00:42:27I haven't totaled it up, but at least a million dollars.

00:42:31Some of them were limited editions.

00:42:33They're limited editions. You can't just replace them.

00:42:41One more thing. Have you noticed any signs that someone may have been in your room lately?

00:42:46Officer, now that you mention it, maybe I have.

00:42:50Sometimes I'd wake up and there'd be a strange smell in my room, like smoke or sweat.

00:42:57I thought maybe the window wasn't fully closed and it drifted in from outside.

00:43:03And my pajamas.

00:43:05Sometimes I'd fold them and leave them by the bed.

00:43:08Then the next day they'd be moved.

00:43:09I thought maybe I'd knocked them over in my sleep.

00:43:13I didn't think much of it.

00:43:18Officer, are you saying her son may have come into my room at night?

00:43:24We found unidentified male fingerprints on your bedroom doorknob and beside your bed.

00:43:29We're running them now.

00:43:31If they match Evan Parker, he'd be facing illegal entry into a private residence.

00:43:36That would make this even more serious.

00:43:41How could he do that? How dare he?

00:43:44Miss Reed, try to stay calm. We're still verifying that.

00:43:51At this point, we can basically confirm that Wanda Bennett's family illegally entered your home and stole from you.

00:43:57But she's insisting you tried to kill them on purpose.

00:44:01She claims you discovered them the night before, then had the renovation crew seal the door in retaliation.

00:44:13Retaliate against them for what?

00:44:15You have got to be kidding me.

00:44:17I didn't even know they were in there, so what exactly would I be retaliating for?

00:44:22And if I'd found them, why wouldn't I just call the police?

00:44:25Why would I go to all that trouble sealing it up and drag myself into a death investigation?

00:44:31I'm not insane.

00:44:33The officer nodded.

00:44:35Clearly, he wasn't buying Wanda Bennett's story either.

00:44:42But Miss Reed, there's one thing we need to make clear.

00:44:45Wanda Bennett has hired a lawyer.

00:44:47Her attorney argues that, as the homeowner, you had a duty to verify what was inside before sealing the basement.

00:44:55You didn't inspect it yourself, you only had the renovation crew look.

00:44:58They're claiming negligence and may pursue civil liability.

00:45:02Maybe even try to push for criminal charges.

00:45:06Why should I be responsible for people who broke into my house?

00:45:10They were sneaking around, living in my basement.

00:45:13How are they any different from burglars?

00:45:16If I sealed the door to keep rats out, was I supposed to check whether burglars were hiding in there

00:45:21first?

00:45:22That's absurd.

00:45:24Miss Reed, please don't get upset.

00:45:26That's just the other side's lawyer talking.

00:45:28We'll go by the facts.

00:45:32Just then, someone knocks on the hospital room door.

00:45:36Come in.

00:45:39Miss Reed, I'm here.

00:45:42Good afternoon, officers.

00:45:43I'm Miles Cole, counsel for Raina Reed.

00:45:46I need to be present for the rest of her questioning.

00:45:48Is that all right?

00:45:51Of course.

00:45:52That's her right.

00:45:54Miss Reed, I've checked into it.

00:45:56Wanda Bennett's lawyer is Derek Shaw, a small-time attorney who makes a living filing shakedown lawsuits and muddying the

00:46:02waters.

00:46:03The people backing her are the two who caused a scene earlier, plus a few distant relatives.

00:46:09None of them are clean.

00:46:10They all have prior records for disturbing the peace.

00:46:15One more thing.

00:46:16Before this, Wanda Bennett worked as a housekeeper for three different households.

00:46:22Two reported missing property, but there was never any proof, so nothing came of it.

00:46:27In the third, she upset an elderly woman badly enough to put her in the hospital.

00:46:32They paid some money, and that was the end of it.

00:46:38Miss Reed, let's continue.

00:46:40Why did you suddenly decide to seal the basement?

00:46:43What exactly did you tell the renovation crew?

00:46:49Officer, that basement was only used for storage.

00:46:53It was piled full of leftover construction junk.

00:46:56Wanda Bennett always kept the key to the basement.

00:47:00A few times I tried to go down there to get something, and Wanda stopped me every time.

00:47:05She always said it was filthy down there.

00:47:07Dust, cobwebs, even dead rats.

00:47:11I've been a clean freak since I was little, so after hearing that, I wanted to go down there even

00:47:18less.

00:47:19How was I supposed to know there were five grown adults hiding down there?

00:47:24The officer gives a slight nod, like my explanation makes sense.

00:47:29Then why did you suddenly decide to seal the basement with cement yesterday?

00:47:34A few days ago, I found my favorite silk nightgown chewed up by rats.

00:47:39Wanda kept saying there were rats in the basement.

00:47:43And I was too scared to go down there and deal with them myself.

00:47:49I wanted to end it once and for all, so I hired a renovation crew to seal that rat hole

00:47:54shut.

00:47:55And you heard it yourself, officer.

00:47:57The foreman went down there in person that day.

00:48:00He swept the whole place with a high-powered flashlight and didn't see a single person.

00:48:10Officer, could it be they heard the crew coming, got scared they'd be found, and hid in the boxes or

00:48:16the piles of junk?

00:48:19There were five adults down there.

00:48:21They had to have hidden on purpose so the foreman wouldn't see them.

00:48:25Clearly, my little reasonable guess neatly closed the one gap in my story, why the foreman didn't see anyone down

00:48:31there.

00:48:32If you're secretly living in someone else's house, and strangers suddenly come in, of course your first instinct is to

00:48:39hide.

00:48:40That's one of the possibilities we're considering.

00:48:47Ah, officer, one more point.

00:48:49The renovation crew came while Wanda Bennett was away.

00:48:53If she'd known people were in the basement, why seal it after Wanda left?

00:48:57Wouldn't that just make her look guilty?

00:48:59If someone were really planning a murder, they'd keep it quiet.

00:49:02Why call in a renovation crew, pay triple, and make sure everyone noticed?

00:49:07That doesn't add up.

00:49:09That's a fair point.

00:49:10We considered that too.

00:49:13Oh.

00:49:15Then I remembered something else and spoke up.

00:49:18Officer, one more thing.

00:49:20The morning Wanda Bennett left, she specifically told me the basement key was on the foyer cabinet in case I

00:49:26needed anything.

00:49:27Looking back, did she leave it there on purpose so I'd assume the basement was empty?

00:49:32She knew I'd never go down there.

00:49:35She deliberately left the key where I'd find it so she could cover her tracks.

00:49:42That's important.

00:49:43So you're saying Wanda Bennett already knew you were going to seal the basement before she took leave?

00:49:48No, she didn't.

00:49:51I didn't decide until the night before, and I hadn't told her yet.

00:49:55Then the next morning, she suddenly asked for leave.

00:49:58I remember thinking that was awfully convenient.

00:50:01Convenient?

00:50:02Yes.

00:50:03Convenient.

00:50:06I booked the renovation crew the night before.

00:50:09The next day, she said she was taking leave and going out of state.

00:50:13Looking back, did she overhear my call?

00:50:16Did she stay away on purpose so I wouldn't find her family?

00:50:20When she was there, her family didn't dare come out during the day.

00:50:24Once she left, they had free reign of the house.

00:50:29Really?

00:50:31That's very possible.

00:50:40Wanda Bennett never saw it coming.

00:50:42Wanda thought it was just a routine leak repair.

00:50:45So she left.

00:50:47She didn't realize it was being sealed shut for good.

00:50:51All right, Ms. Reed, that's all for today.

00:50:53We still need to verify a few things.

00:50:56We'll let you know if anything comes up.

00:50:58Okay.

00:50:59Thanks, officer.

00:51:01After the officer left, Miles Cole pulled a stack of documents from his briefcase.

00:51:06Ms. Reed, this is the detailed background file I put together on Wanda Bennett's family.

00:51:10Evan Parker, Wanda Bennett's son, served two years for taking part in a violent brawl.

00:51:14Since he got out, he's had no real job, just drifted around.

00:51:17And he owes over $100,000 in gambling debt.

00:51:23Lily Parker, her daughter is still in high school, but she cuts class all the time.

00:51:28She has a bullying record, too.

00:51:29She bullied one classmate so badly they had to transfer schools.

00:51:33Cal Bennett, her brother, the uncle you mentioned, has a theft record.

00:51:37He did three years.

00:51:38And after he got out, he went right back to petty theft.

00:51:42Then there's her husband and mother-in-law.

00:51:44They're both from a remote little town and only arrived two months ago.

00:51:49From what I've heard, neither of them has ever held down a steady job.

00:51:54So the whole family's rotten.

00:51:56A whole rotten family under one roof.

00:51:59Exactly.

00:52:00Every one of them has a record or a history of trouble.

00:52:02That helps us.

00:52:03The judge will also weigh the deceased's character and degree of fault.

00:52:10The other side is only after money.

00:52:12Derek Shaw called me yesterday and asked for $5 million.

00:52:16If he gets it, they'll sign a settlement agreement and drop the matter.

00:52:19$5 million in their dreams.

00:52:22Tell them this.

00:52:24$100,000 as a $100,000 goodwill settlement.

00:52:28Not $1 more.

00:52:29They can take it or see me in court.

00:52:33Understood.

00:52:38One more thing.

00:52:40Someone posted about this online yesterday, and it's still spreading.

00:52:43Most people are on your side.

00:52:45They're calling the housekeeper's family parasites who got what they deserved.

00:52:49But there are still a few bleeding hearts saying you went too far.

00:52:52Five people did die after all.

00:52:54Ignore it.

00:52:55The facts are clear.

00:52:56Let them talk.

00:52:58All right.

00:52:59Miles gave me a few more pointers.

00:53:01What to say if the police came back, and not to let the other side bait me.

00:53:05Then he left.

00:53:06That afternoon, the officer returned with someone else.

00:53:10Ms. Reed, this is our department psychologist.

00:53:12She'd like to ask you a few questions.

00:53:15Okay.

00:53:16Ms. Reed, we understand you don't have any security cameras in your home.

00:53:21May I ask why?

00:53:25I'm afraid of surveillance cameras.

00:53:27When I was little, my parents were overseas on business, and they left me here alone.

00:53:31They installed more than a dozen HD cameras in my bedroom, the living room, even the hallway.

00:53:37They watched everything I did through those cameras every single day.

00:53:41If I did anything they didn't approve of, they'd call and scream at me.

00:53:45That constant feeling of being watched everywhere, it was like living in prison.

00:53:51That's why cameras are a major trauma trigger for me.

00:53:54I won't allow a single camera anywhere I live.

00:53:58My therapist knows that.

00:54:00Everyone who knows me knows that.

00:54:02Even the estate security at the front gate, seeing me cry so hard I could barely breathe,

00:54:07the detective's eyes softened with a flicker of sympathy.

00:54:13Ms. Reed, please don't get upset.

00:54:15This is just routine questioning.

00:54:17We're only trying to understand what happened.

00:54:21Ms. Reed, Dr. Parker has already given us an initial picture of your condition.

00:54:26This is classic PTSD, and your fear of surveillance equipment is real.

00:54:30We're here to confirm it and clear up any doubts.

00:54:34Thank you for understanding.

00:54:36At this point, it looks like that family exploited your trauma

00:54:39and your trust in the housekeeper to gain access to your private residence.

00:54:43And the housekeeper is also suspected of administering harmful substances to you over a long period.

00:54:49We're going to get to the bottom of it.

00:54:50Get some rest.

00:54:52We'll head out.

00:54:53They had just reached the door when Dr. Parker came hurrying in.

00:54:56Officer, wait.

00:54:58These are Ms. Reed's treatment records for the past two years,

00:55:01along with her medication list.

00:55:03Everything she's taken was a sleep support supplement I recommended.

00:55:07No sleeping pill ingredients.

00:55:09There's something else I need to report.

00:55:10About six months ago, Wanda Bennett, the housekeeper, came to see me alone.

00:55:15She asked about Ms. Reed's condition, what medication she was taking,

00:55:19and whether it had side effects.

00:55:21At the time, I thought she was just concerned about her employer,

00:55:24so I gave it to move some basic information, nothing too detailed.

00:55:28Looking back, she clearly had an ulterior motive.

00:55:32She also asked me whether Ms. Reed would sleep so deeply on sleeping pills

00:55:36that even thunder wouldn't wake her.

00:55:39I thought it was odd then.

00:55:41Now I finally understand.

00:55:43Dr. Parker, can you put all that in a statement?

00:55:46Of course.

00:55:47Whatever you need.

00:55:48I came here specifically to give a statement.

00:55:51She's a good person.

00:55:52I can't just stand by and watch people like that bully her.

00:55:58The officer took Dr. Parker out to give a statement.

00:56:01I don't know how much time passed before the door opened again.

00:56:05I thought it was a nurse.

00:56:07I opened my eyes and saw a man in a suit walk in

00:56:10with a phony smile plastered across his face.

00:56:12Hello, Ms. Reed.

00:56:14I'm Derek Shaw, Wanda Bennett's attorney.

00:56:16How did you get in here?

00:56:18Who let you in?

00:56:19No need to be so hostile, Ms. Reed.

00:56:23I'm here to talk settlement.

00:56:25Five people are dead.

00:56:27If this blows up, it won't do your reputation any favors.

00:56:31My client said if you pay $8 million,

00:56:33sign a release admitting fault,

00:56:35and she'll tell prosecutors she doesn't want the case pursued.

00:56:38We settle this privately.

00:56:40Everybody wins.

00:56:42$8 million.

00:56:43I looked at him like he'd just told a joke.

00:56:45Mr. Shaw, your client is facing illegal entry into a private residence,

00:56:50drugging me, and theft.

00:56:52You're not worried about prison you came here to extort me?

00:56:55That's not a fair way to put it.

00:56:58You sealed the door, so you're tied to it no matter what.

00:57:03If this goes to court, maybe you stay out of prison,

00:57:06but you could still be charged with negligent homicide.

00:57:09Then you've got a criminal record.

00:57:11Bad for travel, bad for business.

00:57:13Better to spend the money and make this disappear.

00:57:17Get out.

00:57:18Miss Reed, think it over.

00:57:21I said, get out.

00:57:23If you don't leave, I'll call security.

00:57:25Miss Reed, don't do this the hard way.

00:57:27If you won't settle, we'll blow this up online.

00:57:30Everyone will know how cold-blooded you are.

00:57:33Five people died, and you sealed the door.

00:57:36Let's see how you live that down.

00:57:41Suit yourself.

00:57:43If you spread lies about me, I'll sue you for defamation.

00:57:47Go ahead.

00:57:48Try me.

00:57:51As soon as he left...

00:57:53Miss Reed, I'm sorry.

00:57:54We couldn't stop him.

00:57:55He said he was your attorney and had a right to see you,

00:57:57so we couldn't physically block him.

00:57:59It's okay.

00:58:00Don't let him in again.

00:58:02Just tell him I need to rest, and I'm not seeing any unapproved visitors.

00:58:06Understood.

00:58:08Two hours later, my parents rushed back.

00:58:10Both had lived overseas for years and been divorced nearly as long.

00:58:16You scared me half to death.

00:58:18The police called and said there'd been a murder at your house,

00:58:20and that your housekeeper had been drugging you.

00:58:23Your dad and I took a private jet back overnight.

00:58:27This is all my fault.

00:58:29I was so busy making money, I neglected you.

00:58:33I almost let that vile woman get you killed.

00:58:37I looked at my parents.

00:58:39They clearly loved me.

00:58:40They just didn't know how to show it.

00:58:42My eyes started to burn.

00:58:44In my last life, when they rushed back,

00:58:47all they found was the suicide note Wanda Bennett had forged.

00:58:51And with my mental health history,

00:58:53everyone thought I'd hanged myself.

00:58:57After that, Wanda Bennett's family sold the Hilltop estate,

00:59:01fled overseas, and got away with it for the rest of their lives.

00:59:04Dad.

00:59:05Mom.

00:59:06I'm so scared.

00:59:08Don't be scared.

00:59:09We're here now.

00:59:10Whatever happens, we'll face it together.

00:59:12Sweetheart, we've talked it over.

00:59:14We've failed you for too many years.

00:59:16We're getting remarried.

00:59:18Once this is over, we'll take you to New Zealand.

00:59:21The three of us will live together and start over.

00:59:24When I heard that, the weight on my chest finally lifted.

00:59:28Just then, the door to the private hospital suite opened again.

00:59:32Derek Shaw barged back in,

00:59:33with Wes Bennett, that blonde punk,

00:59:35and two other relatives.

00:59:39Mr. and Mrs. Reed, right?

00:59:40Good.

00:59:41Since you're both here, let's talk compensation.

00:59:47Derek Shaw got straight to the point.

00:59:49My dad's face went hard.

00:59:51He stepped in front of my bed.

00:59:53Who are you?

00:59:53How'd you get in here?

00:59:54Get out.

00:59:55Mr. Reed, I'm Derek Shaw, Wanda Bennett's attorney.

00:59:59This is her nephew, Wes Bennett.

01:00:01We're here to talk settlement.

01:00:03Five people are dead.

01:00:04You can't just make that disappear.

01:00:06Let it go?

01:00:08We're the ones who should be demanding answers from you.

01:00:11Your client and her family broke into my daughter's house,

01:00:14drugged her, and stole from her.

01:00:16If they died, they had it coming.

01:00:18Why should we pay you a dime?

01:00:21That's not fair.

01:00:22Even if my client's family was in the wrong,

01:00:24they didn't deserve to die.

01:00:25Ms. Reed sealed that door with cement.

01:00:27Five people died.

01:00:29If this gets out,

01:00:30what will people say about the Reed family?

01:00:32You're respectable people.

01:00:34Why destroy your daughter's reputation over money you can easily afford?

01:00:38Are you threatening us?

01:00:39Of course not.

01:00:40I'm just telling the truth.

01:00:42Fine.

01:00:42I'll come down a little bit.

01:00:45Six million dollars.

01:00:47You pay,

01:00:48we sign the settlement agreement,

01:00:50and this ends here.

01:00:51Otherwise,

01:00:52we'll come to this hospital every day and make a scene.

01:00:55Then we'll go to the media

01:00:56and let everyone know your family's business.

01:01:00Try it.

01:01:03Go ahead.

01:01:04Put out one smear story.

01:01:05I dare you.

01:01:07I'll make sure you lose your law license.

01:01:09Wow.

01:01:10Mrs. Reed's got quite a temper.

01:01:14What?

01:01:15Guilty because people died?

01:01:16I'm telling you now.

01:01:18No money?

01:01:18We don't leave.

01:01:19We'll stand right outside this room

01:01:21and let everyone see what rich people like you are really like.

01:01:27Lieutenant Carter.

01:01:28Victor Reed.

01:01:30People have forced their way into my daughter's hospital room

01:01:33and are trying to extort us.

01:01:35Get over here and deal with it.

01:01:42Just wait.

01:01:43The police will be here any minute.

01:01:46Mr. Reed, come on.

01:01:48We came here to discuss a settlement.

01:01:50How is that extortion?

01:01:51Whether it's extortion or not,

01:01:53that's for the police to decide.

01:01:59Mr. Shaw, what do we do?

01:02:00This won't look good when the cops show up.

01:02:04What's there to be scared of?

01:02:06We didn't do anything.

01:02:07Is he really going to have us arrested?

01:02:09The second he said that,

01:02:11two officers walked in.

01:02:12Who called the police?

01:02:14I did.

01:02:16These men forced their way into my daughter's hospital room,

01:02:19tried to extort us,

01:02:20and threatened us.

01:02:21You three, come with us.

01:02:23We need you to answer some questions.

01:02:25It's a misunderstanding.

01:02:26All of it.

01:02:28We came to discuss a settlement with Ms. Reed,

01:02:30not to cause trouble.

01:02:31You forced your way into a hospital room

01:02:33to discuss a settlement?

01:02:34Enough.

01:02:34Take them in.

01:02:36The police took them away,

01:02:38and the room was finally quiet.

01:02:41What is wrong with those people?

01:02:43That whole family is nothing but trash.

01:02:45Don't be mad, Mom.

01:02:46They're not worth it.

01:02:48Dad,

01:02:49how did you get here so fast?

01:02:51I thought I'd have to wait until tomorrow.

01:02:54The second we got the call,

01:02:56we rushed to the airport

01:02:57and charted the first available private jet.

01:03:00We didn't waste a second.

01:03:04This is on us.

01:03:05If we'd come back sooner and stayed with you,

01:03:08none of this would have happened.

01:03:10We're never leaving you alone again.

01:03:12No,

01:03:13it's not your fault.

01:03:17Who would have thought people could be this cruel?

01:03:22For the next week,

01:03:24I stayed in a private hospital suite to recover.

01:03:26My parents stayed with me every day,

01:03:29making me all the foods I loved as a kid.

01:03:32Miles came by every day to update me.

01:03:35Ms. Reed,

01:03:36the police confirmed that the fingerprints in your bedroom

01:03:38belonged to Evan Parker.

01:03:40They also confirmed that he had entered your bedroom illegally multiple times.

01:03:45Investigators also found records showing Evan had been selling the things he stole from you

01:03:49through a second-hand luxury consignment shop.

01:03:52Police raided the store and recovered some of the stolen property.

01:03:56Wanda Bennett is still sticking to her story.

01:03:58She insists you committed intentional homicide,

01:04:00but she doesn't have any evidence.

01:04:01Public opinion is mostly on our side now.

01:04:03A lot of people online dug up the Bennett family's history and said they had it coming.

01:04:07Thank you,

01:04:07Miles.

01:04:08I know how much you've done for this.

01:04:10Of course.

01:04:11The police should have their final findings in a few days.

01:04:12Don't worry.

01:04:13I don't expect you to face any charges.

01:04:14A week later,

01:04:15the police came to my hospital room again.

01:04:18Ms. Reed,

01:04:18we've pieced together the basic timeline of the case.

01:04:21We pulled security footage from the estate's main gate dating back more than two months.

01:04:24It shows your housekeeper sneaking five members of her family into the estate.

01:04:28The photos clearly showed Evan Parker and Lily Parker sneaking into the estate,

01:04:32hunched over like thieves.

01:04:34Wanda Bennett confessed.

01:04:35She told us everything.

01:04:36She admitted she targeted you because you'd been living alone for years.

01:04:39She thought you were weak,

01:04:40gullible,

01:04:41and easy to manipulate.

01:04:41That's when greed took over.

01:04:43She wanted to move her whole family in,

01:04:45live off you for free,

01:04:46and enjoy the hilltop estate.

01:04:48And to keep you from waking up and hearing them at night,

01:04:50she was putting large amounts of sleeping pills in your milk.

01:04:52I lower my eyes and make myself look frightened as if I'm still shaken.

01:04:56Then,

01:04:57what about the basement?

01:05:04Based on the scene investigation,

01:05:06the autopsy,

01:05:07and Mr. Shaw's statement,

01:05:09it looks like all five of them panicked.

01:05:11Afraid they'd be caught for residential burglary,

01:05:14they hid in the very back behind an abandoned storage cabinet and a pile of junk.

01:05:19So at this point,

01:05:20we're ruling the deaths of all five family members an accident.

01:05:24Thank you,

01:05:25officer.

01:05:26But Miss Reed,

01:05:27from a legal and humanitarian standpoint,

01:05:30those five people did die on your property.

01:05:33As the homeowner,

01:05:34you may still want to offer their relatives a goodwill payment.

01:05:37This money means anything to me.

01:05:39Call it funeral money.

01:05:41No problem.

01:05:42But I want one thing made clear,

01:05:43officer.

01:05:43I'll pay.

01:05:44But I will never forgive Wanda Bennett.

01:05:45She drugged me for months and conspired with her family to break into my home.

01:05:49I want a full asset inventory of my estate.

01:05:51That's your legal right.

01:05:53The police will fully support your case.

01:05:55The police moved fast.

01:05:56They brought in a professional appraisal team and searched my house top to bottom,

01:06:00checking everything against the records.

01:06:03Once they started digging,

01:06:04even the police were stunned.

01:06:05When Miles brought me the damage assessment report,

01:06:08even he looked shocked.

01:06:10Miss Reed,

01:06:10you didn't see it.

01:06:11The basement had everything.

01:06:13Your skin care,

01:06:14your perfume,

01:06:15even the body wash and shampoo from your bathroom.

01:06:17Pantry staples,

01:06:18snacks from the living room,

01:06:20steaks and seafood from the fridge.

01:06:21They hauled box after box down to the basement like they were moving in.

01:06:25Worse,

01:06:26they set up a makeshift kitchen in the basement and ran electrical lines.

01:06:29They cooked down there every day.

01:06:30The wiring was a mess,

01:06:32a serious fire hazard.

01:06:33If it had caught fire,

01:06:34the whole estate could have gone up.

01:06:38They were that brazen?

01:06:40Oh,

01:06:41absolutely.

01:06:41Police said this wasn't temporary.

01:06:43They planned to stay for good,

01:06:45like it was their house.

01:06:46If you hadn't sealed them in,

01:06:47they'd still be living there.

01:06:48So those parasites weren't just living off me.

01:06:51They even swapped the couture,

01:06:53jewelry,

01:06:53and bags in my closet for cheap fakes.

01:06:55The police followed the trail

01:06:57and busted a fencing operation.

01:06:59A third-party asset appraisal confirmed it.

01:07:01Over the past year,

01:07:03Wanda Bennett's family stole and fenced $3 million worth of my property.

01:07:07That already qualifies as an especially serious residential burglary case.

01:07:12On theft alone,

01:07:13Wanda Bennett is looking at more than 10 years,

01:07:15at administering harmful substances and illegal entry into a private residence,

01:07:18and 15 years is the floor.

01:07:19As expected,

01:07:20that whole family are bloodsuckers.

01:07:22Stealing this much doesn't surprise me.

01:07:23What about their relatives?

01:07:25How are they reacting?

01:07:26What else?

01:07:26They're making a scene.

01:07:27Wes Bennett and the others go to the police station every day and cause trouble.

01:07:30They say the death ruled an accident,

01:07:31accuse you of intentional homicide,

01:07:32and they've been detained at City Hall more than once for protesting with banners.

01:07:35Yesterday,

01:07:36they got several content creators to post smear pieces about you,

01:07:38calling you a heartless rich woman who treats human life like nothing.

01:07:40The post got no traction.

01:07:41People tore them apart instead,

01:07:42calling them shameless grifters with a lot of nerve asking for money.

01:07:45Good.

01:07:45One more thing.

01:07:46Can I sue them for my property losses and emotional distress damages?

01:07:50Absolutely.

01:07:51I'm already drafting the complaint.

01:07:52Once the criminal judgment comes down,

01:07:54will file a civil claim attached to the criminal case.

01:07:56But Wanda doesn't have much.

01:07:58She probably can't pay.

01:07:59It doesn't matter if she can't pay.

01:08:01I just want her to understand one thing.

01:08:02She stole from me.

01:08:04She will pay it back.

01:08:05Just then,

01:08:06a commotion broke out outside.

01:08:07Miss Reed,

01:08:08this is bad.

01:08:09Wes Bennett brought people back again.

01:08:11They're making a scene in the lobby,

01:08:13saying you should pay with your life.

01:08:14They even brought funeral offerings to burn,

01:08:16saying they're here to call the dead back.

01:08:21This is outrageous.

01:08:24Do they really think we're that easy to push around?

01:08:27Mom,

01:08:27don't get upset.

01:08:28Just call the police.

01:08:30Every time they pull this,

01:08:32they get dragged away.

01:08:33But they come here every single day.

01:08:35It's so damn irritating.

01:08:37It's fine.

01:08:37I'll have hospital security step up patrols.

01:08:40If they start again,

01:08:42we'll report them for disturbing the peace

01:08:43and add it to their record.

01:08:45Dad picks up his phone

01:08:46and calls the hospital director.

01:08:48Not long after,

01:08:50the commotion downstairs dies away.

01:08:53It's taken care of.

01:08:54Security threw them out

01:08:56and the police took them in.

01:08:57I nod and don't think much of it.

01:08:59They were just a bunch of clowns.

01:09:01They were never going to make any real trouble.

01:09:03A month later,

01:09:04the court's verdict comes down.

01:09:05Wanda Bennett is convicted on multiple charges.

01:09:07Long-term poisoning,

01:09:09illegal entry into a private residence

01:09:10with accomplices,

01:09:11and theft involving an especially large amount.

01:09:14In the end,

01:09:15Wanda Bennett is sentenced to 15 years in prison

01:09:17and all her personal assets receives.

01:09:19When Miles brings me the judgment,

01:09:21he also tells me what happened in court.

01:09:23Ms. Reed,

01:09:23Wanda Bennett was extremely agitated in court today.

01:09:26She completely reversed her earlier testimony,

01:09:28accused you of intentional homicide,

01:09:30and claimed you abused her and withheld her pay.

01:09:33The judge had heard enough

01:09:34and ordered the bailiffs to restrain her on the spot.

01:09:36When the sentence was announced,

01:09:37she collapsed at the defense table.

01:09:38She was crying her eyes out,

01:09:40saying she'd been framed

01:09:41and that her family died for nothing.

01:09:42A few of Wes Bennett's relatives

01:09:44also caused a scene outside the courthouse.

01:09:45The bailiffs took them away,

01:09:47and they were detained for 10 days.

01:09:48I doubt they'll try that again.

01:09:49Fifteen years.

01:09:50She's getting off easy.

01:09:52Prison won't be kind to her.

01:09:54Her whole family is gone.

01:09:55Just staying alive will be punishment enough.

01:09:57As for the five bodies,

01:09:58Wanda Bennett had no immediate family left outside.

01:10:00In the end,

01:10:01the county coroner's office

01:10:02arranged for the remains to be cremated.

01:10:04On our side,

01:10:04it only took a little over $100,000

01:10:06in humanitarian compensation

01:10:07to settle all the civil claims.

01:10:12The day I was discharged,

01:10:14the weather was beautiful.

01:10:15When we passed the estate,

01:10:17I had the driver pull over for a minute.

01:10:19What are you planning to do with the house?

01:10:21Sell it.

01:10:22Just looking at it makes me sick.

01:10:24Okay.

01:10:24I already had the real estate agent list it.

01:10:26We're not coming back anyway.

01:10:27Better to sell it and be done with it.

01:10:29Just then,

01:10:30the head of estate security walks over.

01:10:32When he sees our car,

01:10:33he stops.

01:10:34Ms. Reed,

01:10:34you're leaving.

01:10:35About what happened,

01:10:36I'm really sorry.

01:10:38We should have handled it better.

01:10:39We let strangers get in.

01:10:40It's not your fault.

01:10:42They were sneaking in late at night.

01:10:43It would have been hard for you to catch it.

01:10:46Maybe.

01:10:46But we still bear some responsibility.

01:10:49We did think something felt off before.

01:10:52Wanda kept going out late at none

01:10:53and coming back with bags.

01:10:55We asked her about it,

01:10:56and she said they were supplies for you,

01:10:58so we didn't press it.

01:11:00Looking back,

01:11:01she was moving things into the basement,

01:11:03and her son would sneak out late at night sometimes.

01:11:06We thought he was one of your relatives,

01:11:08so we didn't stop him.

01:11:10Looking back,

01:11:11it's all over now.

01:11:13Just be more careful from now on.

01:11:16Understood.

01:11:18The driver starts the car again

01:11:20and slowly pulls out of the neighborhood.

01:11:22Sweetheart, it's over.

01:11:23Once we get to New Zealand,

01:11:24I'll be with you every day.

01:11:25We'll start over.

01:11:27Yeah.

01:11:28At last,

01:11:28I'd avenged the wrongs of my past life.

01:11:30Everyone who hurt me

01:11:32got what they deserved.

01:11:40We drive straight to the airport

01:11:42and check in.

01:11:43The second we get out of the car,

01:11:45reporters swarm us.

01:11:48Miss Reed, Miss Reed,

01:11:49are you satisfied with Wanda Bennett's sentence?

01:11:51Miss Reed,

01:11:52what do you have to say

01:11:53about the deaths of those five people?

01:11:55Miss Reed,

01:11:55what's next for you?

01:11:56First,

01:11:57I respect the court's ruling.

01:11:59Second,

01:11:59I am the primary victim here.

01:12:01I was drugged

01:12:02for months,

01:12:03my home was illegally entered,

01:12:05my property was stolen,

01:12:06and I suffered severe emotional trauma.

01:12:09Out of respect for the dead,

01:12:11I won't say anything more.

01:12:13But people need to understand this.

01:12:16Breaking into someone else's home

01:12:17is a crime,

01:12:18and those who do it

01:12:19have to accept the consequences.

01:12:21Finally,

01:12:22thank you for your concern.

01:12:23I'll be going abroad to recover,

01:12:25so I won't be taking any more questions.

01:12:27Yes!

01:12:29After that,

01:12:30my bodyguards escorted us

01:12:31deeper into the terminal.

01:12:33The reporters kept taking pictures behind me,

01:12:35but I never looked back.

01:12:37Through the glass,

01:12:38I watched the world outside.

01:12:39I didn't feel a thing.

01:12:42Miss Reed,

01:12:43we've got a problem.

01:12:44Squatters have taken over your estate.

01:12:46Grace York,

01:12:47a distant in-law of Wanda's,

01:12:49brought her husband,

01:12:51son,

01:12:51daughter-in-law,

01:12:52and two grandkids,

01:12:53six people total.

01:12:55They broke through the backyard fence

01:12:57and moved in.

01:12:58They chased them off with kitchen knives.

01:13:01My dad leaned in

01:13:01and caught enough to understand.

01:13:03His face darkened instantly.

01:13:04This is out of control.

01:13:05I'm calling the private security firm right now.

01:13:07Have them thrown out.

01:13:08Don't.

01:13:09They came right to me.

01:13:10Good.

01:13:11We'll settle every score at once.

01:13:17Cancel the flights for now.

01:13:19I can't leave with this hanging over us.

01:13:21Raina,

01:13:22those people are dangerous.

01:13:23Don't go head-to-head with them.

01:13:25I don't want you getting hurt.

01:13:27Don't worry, Mom.

01:13:28They're pests.

01:13:29One clean hit,

01:13:31and they're gone.

01:13:32We changed course immediately

01:13:33and drove straight from the airport

01:13:35to the Hilltop Estate.

01:13:36On the way,

01:13:37we changed course immediately

01:13:38and drove straight from the airport

01:13:40to the Hilltop Estate.

01:13:42On the way,

01:13:43Miles called again.

01:13:44He said they'd smashed the wine rack

01:13:46and moved the master bedroom furniture.

01:13:48I said nothing.

01:13:49Just told him to bring

01:13:51the damage assessment team, too.

01:13:53When we got to the Hilltop Estate,

01:13:55the front door was deadbolted

01:13:56from the inside.

01:13:57We could hear kids crying

01:13:59and a TV blaring.

01:14:00The bodyguards knocked.

01:14:02No answer.

01:14:05One of them twisted the handle hard,

01:14:07and the lock gave way.

01:14:09The second we opened the door,

01:14:11a wave of hot, stale air hit us,

01:14:13reeking of instant ramen

01:14:14and cigarette smoke.

01:14:16Camping mats covered

01:14:17the living room floor.

01:14:19Snack wrappers were everywhere,

01:14:20and a young man sat smoking

01:14:22on my leather sofa

01:14:23while a heavyset woman beside him

01:14:25bit into an apple.

01:14:28You're Raina Reed?

01:14:29I didn't answer.

01:14:30I just looked around.

01:14:31Glass from the wine rack

01:14:32was all over the floor.

01:14:33Several display pieces were missing,

01:14:35and the carpet was scorched through

01:14:36with black burn holes.

01:14:37I'm Grace York.

01:14:38Wanda Bennett was my sister-in-law.

01:14:40I'm telling you,

01:14:41this house belongs to us now.

01:14:42My sister-in-law's family of five

01:14:43died because of you.

01:14:44She had no children,

01:14:45so our side of the family inherits it.

01:14:47Exactly.

01:14:48Five lives for your lousy estate,

01:14:50you got off easy.

01:14:51So hand over the deed,

01:14:52transfer the house,

01:14:53and pay us $2 million

01:14:54in emotional distress damages.

01:14:56Otherwise,

01:14:57we'll camp outside your door every day

01:14:58and make your life hell.

01:15:02And my grandpa, too.

01:15:03He heard his daughter was dead

01:15:04and collapsed on the spot.

01:15:06He's still laid up in the back room.

01:15:08You're paying his medical bills and care,

01:15:10and you'll pay for both kids'

01:15:11schooling and weddings, too.

01:15:13You done.

01:15:14What?

01:15:15You got a problem with that?

01:15:16Wanda Bennett was convicted of theft,

01:15:18illegal entry into a private residence,

01:15:20and administering harmful substances.

01:15:22Fifteen years.

01:15:23All her personal assets were confiscated.

01:15:26So what inheritance?

01:15:27As for you,

01:15:28you broke into my home,

01:15:30damaged my property,

01:15:31and demanded $2 million.

01:15:33Know what that's called?

01:15:34Extortion.

01:15:35Under local law,

01:15:37illegal entry into a private residence

01:15:39and refusing to leave

01:15:40carries up to three years.

01:15:41Extortion on this scale

01:15:43carries three to ten.

01:15:44At $2 million,

01:15:45your whole family

01:15:46could be facing over ten years.

01:15:48Don't try to scare us with the law.

01:15:50We've got kids and old people here.

01:15:52My father-in-law's paralyzed in bed.

01:15:54Even the cops won't dare touch us.

01:15:56Go on.

01:15:57Arrest the whole family.

01:15:58Let's see how you get out of that mess.

01:16:00I'm telling you,

01:16:01don't push us.

01:16:02Push us too far,

01:16:04and we all go down together.

01:16:06Fine.

01:16:07You want to stay.

01:16:09Call the water,

01:16:10power,

01:16:10and gas companies now.

01:16:12Shut it all off.

01:16:13Then notify property management

01:16:15this estate is sealed.

01:16:16Nobody takes a thing out

01:16:18except us and the police.

01:16:20This is our home.

01:16:21You can't do this to us.

01:16:27Why wouldn't I?

01:16:28It's my house.

01:16:29Go ahead and squat here if you want.

01:16:31But there are snakes in these hills at night,

01:16:33and I sealed the basement because of rats.

01:16:35So be careful.

01:16:37If anything happens,

01:16:38that's on you.

01:16:41I turned and walked out.

01:16:43My parents and the bodyguards followed.

01:16:45Behind me,

01:16:46Grace was cursing and smashing things,

01:16:49and I never looked back.

01:16:50That's it.

01:16:51We're just letting them live in there for free.

01:16:53Free?

01:16:54Not even close.

01:16:56Every day they stay,

01:16:57the tab goes up.

01:16:58When they can't take it anymore,

01:17:00they'll come out on their own.

01:17:02Sure enough,

01:17:02they started up that night.

01:17:04A little after 11,

01:17:06security called.

01:17:07They were trying to smash the back door

01:17:09to go buy food,

01:17:10got stopped,

01:17:11and started screaming abuse.

01:17:13I told security not to worry about it.

01:17:15Just don't let them remove anything from the house.

01:17:18Early the next morning,

01:17:20I went back with the police

01:17:21and the damage assessment report.

01:17:23Before we reached the door,

01:17:24I could hear kids crying

01:17:26and Grace yelling inside.

01:17:27It was July.

01:17:29No water.

01:17:30No power.

01:17:31No central.

01:17:31The second the door opened,

01:17:33a sour stink hit us.

01:17:34Grace York's whole family

01:17:35was sprawled across the floor,

01:17:37the two kids crying,

01:17:38their faces slick with sweat.

01:17:39Raina,

01:17:40you vicious bitch.

01:17:41Were you trying to bake us alive in here?

01:17:43I'm telling you,

01:17:44if anything happens to my father-in-law

01:17:46from this heat,

01:17:46I'll come after you.

01:17:48You did this to yourselves.

01:17:49This was totaled up last night.

01:17:51The furniture,

01:17:52decor,

01:17:53rugs,

01:17:53and wine rack you damaged

01:17:54come to $370,000.

01:17:56Add illegal entry and extortion,

01:17:58then do the math

01:17:59on how many years you'll get.

01:18:01We don't have the money.

01:18:02Do your worst.

01:18:06No money?

01:18:08That's fine.

01:18:10We've already checked.

01:18:11You operate an excavator

01:18:13at a construction site

01:18:14outside the city,

01:18:15and your wife works

01:18:16as a cashier

01:18:17at a supermarket chain.

01:18:18The court can freeze

01:18:20your bank accounts

01:18:21and seize your owner-occupied home

01:18:22in your hometown.

01:18:24$370,000 will cover it.

01:18:26Why should we pay?

01:18:28We didn't steal your things.

01:18:30My aunt told us to come.

01:18:31Your aunt's in prison.

01:18:34Go ask her for the money.

01:18:36Dad, get out here.

01:18:38Now!

01:18:38They're trying to kill us!

01:18:40A second later,

01:18:41Wong Hao wheeled

01:18:42an old man out

01:18:42from the back room.

01:18:43A gaunt old man

01:18:45sat in the wheelchair,

01:18:46head lolling,

01:18:47drool hanging from his mouth,

01:18:48looking completely paralyzed.

01:18:50Grace threw herself

01:18:51at the wheelchair

01:18:52and started wailing.

01:18:53Dad, wake up!

01:18:55They're trying to kill us!

01:18:56If anything happens to you,

01:18:58we'll die right along with you!

01:19:00Even the officers frowned.

01:19:02Once an elderly man

01:19:03was involved,

01:19:04everything got a lot messier.

01:19:07Watching three generations

01:19:08put on that little performance,

01:19:10I suddenly smiled.

01:19:13What are you trying to do?

01:19:15Nothing.

01:19:17Ah!

01:19:17You little bitch!

01:19:18You trying to burn me alive?

01:19:20The old man was limp as a rag.

01:19:21Now he's standing

01:19:22perfectly upright.

01:19:23Aside from one soaked pant leg,

01:19:25he doesn't look paralyzed at all.

01:19:27Wasn't he paralyzed?

01:19:28What, one cup of water

01:19:30cured him?

01:19:33The old man knows

01:19:35he's been exposed

01:19:35and tries to collapse

01:19:37back into the wheelchair,

01:19:38but the police step in first.

01:19:43Their body cam footage

01:19:44catches every second.

01:19:47Faking a medical condition

01:19:48to scam people.

01:19:49That's fraud.

01:19:51Add illegal entry

01:19:53into a private residence,

01:19:55extortion,

01:19:55and intentional property damage

01:19:57on top of that.

01:20:00With all that stacked together,

01:20:02he'll probably get more time

01:20:03than Wanda Bennett.

01:20:05The police cuff the whole family

01:20:06on the spot

01:20:07and haul them to the squad cars.

01:20:09Grace York cries the entire way,

01:20:11begging us to forgive her.

01:20:12I only stand on the steps

01:20:14and watch.

01:20:15I say nothing.

01:20:16Just you wait.

01:20:17We've got more family.

01:20:18They'll come for you.

01:20:19This isn't over.

01:20:20I don't take it seriously.

01:20:21I've heard threats like that before.

01:20:23I thought that was the end of it.

01:20:25Then, three days later,

01:20:27Miles called me again.

01:20:29Miss Reed,

01:20:30the domestic staffing agency

01:20:31reached out.

01:20:32Harmony Home Services,

01:20:34the one that placed

01:20:34Wanda Bennett with you.

01:20:35The owner wants to meet

01:20:37and discuss compensation.

01:20:38Compensation.

01:20:39They brought that up themselves.

01:20:41Yes.

01:20:42They heard you're suing them

01:20:43for negligent screening,

01:20:45and they panicked.

01:20:46They want to settle.

01:20:47$500,000

01:20:48if you'll drop the case.

01:20:50$500,000

01:20:51and they think

01:20:52that buys me off?

01:20:54The next afternoon,

01:20:55I meet the owner

01:20:56of Harmony Home Services

01:20:57in Miles' office.

01:20:59Helen Shaw,

01:21:00a woman in her 40s.

01:21:02The second she walks in,

01:21:04she pastes on a smile

01:21:05and slides a cashier's check

01:21:07across the desk.

01:21:08Miss Reed,

01:21:09I'm truly sorry.

01:21:10We failed to screen her properly

01:21:12and that caused you

01:21:12a lot of trouble.

01:21:13Please take the $500,000

01:21:15and let's put this

01:21:16whole thing behind us.

01:21:17Can we do that?

01:21:18Miss Shaw,

01:21:19how long have you been running

01:21:19this domestic staffing agency?

01:21:22Almost 10 years?

01:21:23In those 10 years,

01:21:24how many housekeepers

01:21:25with criminal records

01:21:26have you placed?

01:21:27Before me,

01:21:28Wanda Bennett worked

01:21:29for three families.

01:21:30There were theft complaints

01:21:31every single time

01:21:32and you knew it.

01:21:33You sent her

01:21:34into my home anyway.

01:21:35That wasn't sloppy screening.

01:21:37You knew exactly

01:21:38what you were doing.

01:21:43Miss Reed,

01:21:44you can't put it that way.

01:21:45I found something else too.

01:21:48You split the take

01:21:49with the housekeeper.

01:21:50She steals from employers,

01:21:52you fence it,

01:21:53and you take 30%.

01:21:54Half the jewelry

01:21:56and handbags

01:21:56Wanda Bennett stole from me

01:21:58went through your channels,

01:21:59didn't they?

01:22:00You're talking nonsense.

01:22:02Do you have any proof?

01:22:04The police can decide

01:22:05whether I have proof.

01:22:08$500,000

01:22:09to buy your way

01:22:10out of fencing stolen goods?

01:22:12Miss Shaw,

01:22:13you think far too highly

01:22:14of yourself.

01:22:15You,

01:22:16Raina,

01:22:16don't push me too far.

01:22:17We're both trying

01:22:18to make a living.

01:22:19Don't burn every bridge.

01:22:19We can still work this out,

01:22:21but if you back me

01:22:21into a corner,

01:22:22I'll post it online.

01:22:23I'll say you abused

01:22:24your housekeeper

01:22:24and drove her whole family

01:22:25to their deaths.

01:22:26Then we'll see

01:22:26whose reputation

01:22:27takes the bigger hit.

01:22:28Fine, go ahead.

01:22:29I want everyone to see

01:22:30how your domestic staffing agency

01:22:31worked with the housekeeper

01:22:32to steal from employers.

01:22:34You'll be hearing

01:22:34from the court.

01:22:35Two weeks later,

01:22:36Harmony Home Services

01:22:37had its license revoked

01:22:38on suspicion of joint theft

01:22:39and business violations

01:22:40and was fined $2 million.

01:22:44Helen Shaw

01:22:45and several key employees

01:22:46were also sentenced

01:22:47for fencing stolen goods.

01:22:49By the time

01:22:50everything finally settled,

01:22:52another month had passed.

01:22:55My parents wanted me

01:22:57to go to New Zealand

01:22:58with them.

01:23:00I thought it over

01:23:01and said no.

01:23:06That day,

01:23:07we sit on the balcony

01:23:08of our new home.

01:23:10A large downtown apartment

01:23:12with a sweeping river view.

01:23:15Mom, Dad,

01:23:16I don't want to leave.

01:23:17This is my home.

01:23:18I died here in my last life

01:23:20and in this life,

01:23:21I don't want to run.

01:23:22And now you're back.

01:23:23Wherever our family is,

01:23:24that's home.

01:23:25Okay.

01:23:25Then we stay.

01:23:27We're staying right here with you.

01:23:28The sun sinks lower,

01:23:30washing over us.

01:23:31And as those people

01:23:31were brought to justice,

01:23:33the hatred from my last life

01:23:34slowly starts to fade.

01:23:35Sometimes I still think

01:23:36about that concrete wall

01:23:37in the hilltop estate,

01:23:38the five bodies in the basement,

01:23:39but I don't have nightmares anymore.

01:23:41In the end,

01:23:41people like that

01:23:42get what they deserve

01:23:43and I can finally

01:23:44live my life again.
