Matt goes to work as Linderman's ex-lawyer's bodyguard. Linderman hires Jessica to kill him, because he stole the two million Jessica stole from Linderman. Oh, it's such a twisted tale.

So Matt decides to save him, even though it's pretty clear the guy is a major pain. A chase ensues, with Niki making an appearance outside her mirrored prison to plead with Jessica to stop being a baddie. Jessica ignores Niki and blithely tosses Matt out a window. He's fine, of course, but the lawyer is basically cut in half by Jessica. Matt manages to walk away with some diamonds...
