A Perfect Widow — Episode 1

He'd been my driver for five years. Then out of nowhere, he quit and left me with a warning I couldn't ignore. Mr. Mercer, for five years, I've inspected this car every week, especially the undercarriage. Then last month, something appeared that had never been there before.

What did you find? Take the car to a professional shop. Have them put it on a lift and open everything up. I know it's not my place, but I'm truly afraid something could happen to you.

I brought in a certified technician from the dealership. Got it. Where? When he took the underside apart, I froze.

What the hell happened to my car? Mr. Mercer, I'm afraid I have to quit. Quit? Why, George? Is there a problem with your pay? No, no, Mr. Mercer.

Most men in your position go through five drivers in three years. But you kept me by your side for five. You gave me more than 30 raises. Every holiday, you gave me a generous bonus.

You paid my son's college tuition and covered my wife's hospital bills. I couldn't have asked for a better employer. Then why are you quitting? It's just...

My parents are getting older. I want to move back home and spend more time with them. In that case, I won't ask you to stay. Mr. Mercer, what is this?

It's just my way of thanking you for everything you've done. Whatever happens, you can always reach out to me. Thank you, Mr. Mercer. I'll never forget what you've done for my family.
