The lawyer, played by Jamie Chung, convinces Katie that Adam cannot be trusted. The detective who is looking at the case, Detective Chesler, also has her eyes on Adam. Adam suggests to Katie that they should leave the house and go away.

As they are about to leave, Mickey is standing in the hallway with a gun. He is not a real estate agent but is a jewel thief, who is behind the bag of diamonds. He was the gardener’s partner, but the two were not successful in robbing Leonard. Adam and Mickey shoot at each other. Katie is upset that she never realised how Adam is the one who killed Leonard, and now Adam is also dead.
