Synopsis

In the gripping episode Love, Honor or Murder, Harry, a struggling cab driver, stumbles upon a wallet containing $12,000 while on duty. Excited yet conflicted, he rushes home to share the news with his wife, Helen. Instead of celebrating their potential fortune, Helen's reaction is one of manipulation and coercion, urging Harry to consider keeping the money rather than turning it in.
