Hi, everyone. I'm Blaine Alexander, and today we are talking Dateline. I'm here with the one and only Andrea Canning. Hi, Andrea.

Hey, Blaine. Good to see you. We're here to talk about your episode, Take Two. This case truly has just about everything.

An undercover sting, hidden cameras, a murder for hire plot, and a twist that investigators say that they almost never see. So if you haven't listened to this episode yet, it's the one right below this one, or you can go watch it on Peacock. So go there, watch or listen, and then come right back here. And when you come back, we'll play a moment from Andrea's interview with detectives that didn't make it into our broadcast. All right, Andrea, let's talk Dateline. Let's do it. This one was, I mean, I think we say this at every talking dateline, but this one truly was, this was wild, this was all over the place. I didn't know what to expect, almost from the very first second the episode started. This one was insane. It really was.

I mean, yeah, this is like what you call like a wild roller coaster, you know, of a case. And it really

felt like a movie. So, Andrea, just in case folks haven't seen it or before we get into our

discussion, just kind of summarize this for me. Give me a quick version of what happened in this

episode. Yeah, I mean, this is about a couple, Susan and Ira Bernstein, who had troubles in

their marriage for quite a while. They had three kids. And Ira claims he's working like crazy to pay

the bills because they have an extravagant lifestyle. Then he is reunited with a patient, Kelly,

Gribalook. Kelly is eclectic career, mortician, former mortician, a model. Now she's like selling

shoe orthotic. So she comes to Ira and she says, I want you to help me with this shoe business.

They start an affair.

Next thing you know, they are plotting to have Susan killed.

And they went to the wrong person.

They went to Marquenzie because Marquenzie decided, you know what, I'm going to bring you two down because this is wrong.

So Marquenzie was responsible along with the police for stopping the plot to have Susan killed.

Ira and Kelly go off to prison.

Ira comes out.

And what does he do?

He starts talking about killing his wife again.

Insane.

Yeah.
