The Dresden Files
Rules of Engagement
S1 E4:
Dresden is hired by a beautiful young woman who asks him to recover twenty thousand dollars that's been stolen from her Aunt Frieda. But when Dresden locates the thief, he discovers that the man has been burnt to a crisp by a deadly supernatural force. As he investigates the man's death, Dresden discovers that his beautiful client lied to him about the money, about Aunt Frieda - in fact, about everything. When he confronts her with what he knows, his client fires him - either out of fear, or because she's in the thrall of some dark, supernatural evil. Nevertheless, Dresden risks his life to protect her as they play a dangerous game against a ruthless hellion who understands the rules of the game far better than they do.
