I felt like a ghost in paradise. Everyone around me was living a life I used to dream of. Now my only dream was revenge.

SPEAKER_03 1:54

Posing as a caterer for high-end events, Sheila gained access to the world Marcus inhabited. She watched. She listened. And she waited.

SPEAKER_04 2:18

I saw him on the third night. He called himself Alexander. He was with a woman named Elena Cortez, a recent widow. Beautiful, sad, and worth a fortune. She was the next me.

SPEAKER_01 2:46

I only hope to continue his legacy.

SPEAKER_00 2:49

Thank you, Alexander. You've been such a comfort.

SPEAKER_04 3:01

I needed proof. Something concrete that would link him to the crime.

SPEAKER_03 3:18

Sheila's plan was desperate. She used a burner phone to leave an anonymous tip for the FBI. A vague warning about a con man at the party. Enough to create a distraction. In the ensuing low-key panic, she slipped into the mansion's private office.

SPEAKER_04 3:46

His briefcase was on the desk. It was reckless, I know, but I had to see what was inside. Passports, IDs for a dozen different names, and a ledger, a list of his victims. My name was on it. Next to it, a single word. Patsy.

SPEAKER_01 4:34

Looking for something. I was just I know who you are. The nurse from Ohio. I have to admit, I'm impressed. Escaping custody, tracking me all the way to Miami. You have more fight in you than I thought.

SPEAKER_04 4:59

It's over, Marcus.

SPEAKER_01 5:02

Over? My dear Sheila. It's just beginning. You see, a loose end is something I can't afford.

SPEAKER_04 5:20

He was stronger than I expected. He wasn't just a con man, he was a predator.

SPEAKER_03 5:40

Sheila, thinking fast, had pulled the fire alarm as he lunged for her. In the chaos of the sprinklers and shouting, she slipped away, clutching a single page she had torn from his ledger.

SPEAKER_04 6:53

But he had seen me. He knew I was coming for him. The hunter was now the hunted.
