He also reveals that Dana had plans to sue the couple over the apartment with evidence that they manipulated Ivan. She claimed to have a nurse, Betty Cartwright, who had witnessed the manipulation. Their lawyer Olivia insists that Rosie and Chad are artists with a clean criminal record. As Crowe leaves, he corrects her, saying that Chad’s record is not clear.
