Ro, I'm sorry.

I was being insensitive.

Ro, I'm sorry.

It's just-- I was the one

who was left picking up the pieces...

...after Grace and Cameron

tore you apart and l-- And l--

Yeah. So, what do the police say?

They're chasing a lead on some guy

she was dating in Philly.

But I have another idea.

Why's that?

Because I saw Grace last week.

Oh, I'm the one

who's keeping secrets?

She wanted me to chase down

Harrison Hill.

Harrison Hill, Harrison Hill?

Yes, that Harrison Hill.

Here, take a look at this.

She was threatening

to go to his wife.

Apparently, they met online

in July...

...and had one hell of a weekend

in September.

I mean, that's assuming

he is ADEX.

-Wait. Who? Who?

-ADEX.

The guy she's been e-mailing,

ADEX.

I mean, it tracks.

Harrison Hill owns...

...the biggest ad agency

in New York City?

"I'm gonna f*** you so hard,

I'm gonna split you in half."

Oh, my.

Oh, my God.

Wait a minute, Ro.

This is not a story.

Miles, I would love, love, love to get

my hands on the rest of these e-mails.

Because the way I see it, Grace was

f***ing Hill, he dumped her...

...she got pissed, threatened to go

to the wife, and she wound up dead.

I mean, come on.

-It's simple, that's it.

-This is Harrison Hill.

If he wanted somebody dead,

he won't do it hims--

-That's just the first of all.

-She was stalking the guy.

She sent him a million e-mails.

She probably even went to his house.

Who knows?

All it takes to commit a murder...

...are the right ingredients

at the right time.

Son of a b*tch.

-Hey, where are you?

-G.W. Bridge.

Why? What's up?

I got into Grace's Hotmail account.

It's her main one.

There's a shitload of guys in there,

by the way.

But none of them are ADEX.

But that's not the account

I gave you, Miles.

Well, hold on. And then I looked at her

other account, FastFilly@iol.com...

...and guess who's all up in her box?

ADEX. Ro.

-Yeah?

-You got to read some of this sh*t.

I wanna read it all, Miles.

Okay. So, I'm gonna bring over

everything after work.

And, Ro, we still don't know

that ADEX is Hill.

And we still don't know

that he's not.

Yeah.

Hey, your dinner's getting warm.

Hold it.

Can I just say for the record, wow.

Can I also say that's just a ridiculous

outfit to be wearing for takeout?

Well, I didn't know

you were bringing takeout.

Well, I didn't know you had a date.

-Oh, God.

-Who's the...?

Who's the lucky guy?

Can we just look at the e-mails,

please?

Sure. Yeah. Here, here.

Have a seat.

Okay.

So yeah.

You told me that Grace wanted you

to threaten Hill.

Well, she was doing it without you

for a while. Listen. This, this--

This e-mail's a week old
