Deadly Hollywood Obsession (2019) - full transcript

After saving 10-year-old Jack from an attempted kidnapping, Casey Wright (Sarah Roemer) is hired by Jack's famous father - "the" Sam Austin (Jon Prescott) - to be Jack's home-school teacher...

- America's hottest
screen couple Sam Austin

and Naomi Tills burned up
the box office last year

with their smash hit Moon Brake,

but could the fire be going
out on their marriage?

The pair has not been seen
together

since the premiere of that movie
last July

and there are rumors swirling

that they've actually been
separated for several months
now.

So after nearly 10 years of
marriage and one child together,

we all just wanna know
will it be divorce for?

- Vultures.



(phone ringing)

- [Sam] This is Sam.

I am not here.

Leave a message and I'll call
you back.

- Hey, it's me again.

Look, I don't want to fight.

I'm gonna come by and pick up
Jack.

Please have him ready.

Also the lawyer's gonna
call you in the morning.

Okay bye.

(suspenseful music)

Dammit.

Are you serious?

(suspenseful music)



You know what?

You know what?

It's fine.

I'm already running late.

I have to pick up my son and
I can't do this right now.

And I just.

(suspenseful music)

(moves into bright music)

- [Interviewer] Are you
gonna be the leading man

in the new superhero franchise,
Vindicators of Earth?

- Where did you hear that?

- My sources tell me.

Is that true?

- Yes, it is true.

- God, that man is so beautiful.

You are so lucky.

- Lucky?

I rarely even see him,
let alone talk to him.

- The whole time I've been in
L.A.,

the closest I've gotten to a
celebrity is standing behind

that guy from "Friends" at
Pinkberry.

Meanwhile you get to teach
a movie star's son every day

for the past year.

- Yeah and in another two
months I'm gonna need a new job

unless they make me permanent.

- Whatever.

It's Sam Austin.

That man could read me a bedtime
story

any night of the week, girl.

- You are ridiculous.

- And I have to ask you. How
are you and Jack adjusting?

How are you doing?

- It's been tough.

Not only did I lose the love of
my life,

but I lost my best friend
and Jack lost his mom.

I'm just trying to stay focused
on what's best for Jack.

It's not easy for us
but I'm staying positive

that the police are
gonna find Naomi's killer

and that Jack and I will be
able to move on with our lives.

- I just feel bad for Jack.

Can you imagine losing
your mother like that?

- I imagine I can handle a loss
like that

if Sam Austin were my daddy.

- Awful.

- [TJ] I'm just kidding.

- You are just awful.

- Come on, Case.

You can't tell me you've
never thought about it.

Sam comes to the school to pick
up Jack

and you have to have a
private conversation.

So you're all alone in the
classroom

and he's looking at you
with those beautiful eyes

and you're looking at that
chiseled body

and then all of a sudden bam.

You're on the desk.

Crayons are flying.

Markers are flying.

And then he goes into your
shirt.

- Okay.

Oh my God.

- Girl, you have zero
imagination.

Like zero.

That's why you're single.

- All right well you know what?

I think it's time for you to go

because I have to prep for
tomorrow.

- Prep?

They're eight years old, Casey.

- Yeah, temporary position.

I have to make a good
impression.

- The only temporary position
you should be worried about

is the one you're gonna
make on Sam Austin.

- [Casey] Okay goodbye, TJ.

- You're so boring, Casey.

Goodness.

Bye girl.

- Bye.

Love you.

- [Interviewer] How was it doing

your own stunts in this movie?

- It was painful.

- [Interviewer] Was it?

- Yeah.

(bell ringing)
(children screaming)

(soft music)

- Back to one.

And action.

Mister Crawley, the explorer.

♪ Dun dun dun dun dun ♪

♪ Dun dun dun dun dun ♪

♪ Dun dun dun dun ♪

He's alone in the world
but he's brave and he's...

- [Casey] What you doing, Jack?

- Making a movie.

- Oh.

What's it about?

- This bug.

- What happens?

- I can't tell you.

- [Casey] Why not?

- Spoiler alert, duh.

- Okay well, carry on,
Spielberg.

♪ Dun dun dun dun dun ♪

♪ Dun dun dun dun ♪

Wait.

Where you going, Mister Crawley?

Wait up.

Wait.

Mister Crawley turned into an
alien

and now he's hunting for
spiders.

Ah.

- Hey Jack.

- [Casey] Crosswalk please.

- [Girl] Okay.

(soft music)

- Yeah come on.

We don't wanna keep
your dad waiting, do we?

We're supposed to meet him for
ice cream.

- [Jack] Dad wants us to go get
ice cream?

- Yes, he does and he
doesn't want us to be late.

So come on.

Let's get in.

Here we go.

Come on.

Get in.

- [Casey] Jack.

- [Jack] Casey.

- Did you forget something?

Hi, I'm Casey Wright,
one of Jack's teachers.

Are you picking him up today?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Sam got caught up so he asked me

to pick up the little guy here.

We're going for ice cream.

- Ice cream.

Oh man, I wish someone was
taking me for ice cream.

- [Jack] Can Casey come, too?

She's really nice.

- I don't.

I don't think your dad would
like that, but we have to go.

So come on.

- Actually it says here his
Aunt Meredith is picking him up.

- Yeah well you know how these
things are.

Sometimes they forget to update
them.

It's fine.

All right Jack, it's time to go.

It's time to go.

Come on.

- I understand and I
hate to slow you down,

but rules and everything, you
know.

- Uh huh.

Yeah no that's fine.

I will show you the
letter that I have and.

- Hey.

Jack.

Jack.

(dramatic music)

Oh my god.

Jack, are you okay?

- Yeah.

- Oh my god.

Is Jack okay?

- He's fine thanks to you.

This is Mark Haynes,
Sam Austin's associate.

- Hey.

- And this is Detective Bruner.

- Hi.

- [Detective] Hi.

- Nice to meet you.

- They'd like to talk to you for
a bit.

I'll be just outside if you need
anything.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

I don't even know where to
start.

There's really no way
we can thank you enough

for everything that you did
today.

- I'm just glad Jack's okay.

- He's fine.

He's on his way home
with his Aunt Meredith.

- Good.

As the Head Mistress said,
this is Detective Bruner.

He's been working the stalking
issues

that Sam's been having for
awhile.

He's gonna ask you a few
questions.

You know just general stuff.

Okay?

- Okay.

I thought I already...

- Casey, you gave the police a
pretty

detailed description of the
woman,

but I need different type
of questions answered.

We believe that the woman
that tried to kidnap Jack

could in fact be the same woman

that's causing these stalking
problems.

You've been at the school
for almost a full year now.

Is that right?

- [Mark] You two keep
going. I'll be right back.

- [Detective] Okay Casey,
just a few quick questions.

Has Jack ever mentioned this
woman before?

We don't think this is the first
time

she tried to make contact.

Casey?

Casey?

- Oh, I'm sorry.

What was the question?

You don't think I love you,
Jennifer?

Of course I love you.

Loving you is the only thing
that I'm sure

and I dream about you every day.

Your eyes.

Your smile.

You're everything to me.

I love you.

- I love you, too.

I love you so much.

(bell ringing)

- Miss Wright?

Hi.

Sorry, I didn't mean to startle
you.

I'm Jack's dad, Sam.

- I know who you are.

Hi.

Sorry, I'm Casey.

Late lunch.

- I'm sorry to interrupt.

I just wanted.

God, I don't even know what to
say.

- Oh, it was nothing.

- It was not nothing.

Jack is safe because of you
and I can't thank you enough.

- I'm just glad I could help.

Jack is a really great kid.

- Yeah, yeah he is.

He means the world to me
and I would do anything

to keep him safe, which is why I
wanted

to come thank you personally.

You know, Jack really likes you,
too.

He has been raving about

his favorite teacher Casey all
year.

I've gotta say you're
not what I had in mind.

- What did you have in mind?

- Well, my third grade teacher
was about 80 years older

and she had a mustache.

Let's just say you're a lot
different than Missus Parker.

- Oh.

Well, thank you.

(knocking on door)

- Sam.

Sorry to interrupt.

Can I talk to you real quick?

- Excuse me a second.

- Sure.

(gentle music)

- [Mark] Well, I'll leave you
two alone.

- Where were we?

(gentle music)

(phone buzzing)

(phone dinging)

- Casey.

Sam had to go deal with some
things,

but he wanted me to thank you
again

for everything that you did.

- Oh.

Okay.

All right.

- [Jacquelyn] I was three
years into a dead end job

with 80,000 in student loans.

I needed to reboot and
rethink what I was doing.

I took a calculated risk and it
paid off.

- [Man] And that's
exactly why I wanted you

to come to the podcast today,

so we can sit here and discuss
debt,

student loans, bad credit.

You name it.

I'm here with Jacquelyn from
Unique Space who's here.

(soft music)

- Hey Casey.

I'm sorry to interrupt but
it's time for her bath.

- Yeah okay.

I was just leaving.

Bye Mom.

(soft music)

- I need these reports
to be more specific.

Time stamped with detailed
notes for billing.

Miss Wright.

- Mister Clark.

- [Mister Clark] Visiting
your mother again I see.

- I sure am.

- Well I'm sure she
appreciates your visits.

While you're here could I have
a word with you for a moment?

- I was just leaving.

- It'll just take a second.

It's over $14,000 and
it's 60 days overdue.

- I have been dealing with
her insurance companies

and they assured me it
would be paid on time.

- But it's already not been paid
on time.

That's gonna have consequences
for your mother's care

if you don't pay that bill.

- Obviously my mother's care
is my number one priority

as I'm sure it is yours.

- Yes, of course.

In fact, this institution's
number one concern

about everything else
is the excellent care

that our patients receive.

- Wonderful.

- And that's why I'm so
concerned

about the impact on your
mother's health

if she has to be forced
to leave this facility

due to lack of payment.

Could be devastating in
her fragile condition.

But you know what?

Why are we even talking about
this?

I am sure that you're gonna be
able

to pay that bill in full within
30 days.

(soft music)

(soft music)

- Sam, thank you, thank you.

Thank you so much for
meeting with me today.

I just.

I really want to explain

what happened today at Jack's
school.

I overreacted.

I know.

I know I'm just out of options.

I needed to talk to you.

And you won't return my calls or
texts.

I needed to see you 'cause
I missed you so much

and I just I knew if I
could just pick up Jack

that you would just give me the
chance to make things right.

I know, I know.

I know I was wrong.

You're right.

Believe I would give
anything to take it back.

I would.

I would.

I'm so sorry.

What?

Really?

Are you sure?

No.

No, you do not need to
apologize.

Not for anything.

I should've listened to
you from the beginning.

You're always right.

Of course I love you.

Yes I do.

(knocking on door)

- [Mother] Lynette.

Honey, is everything okay?

- Yeah mom.

I'm okay.

(soft music)

- Casey Wright?

- Can I help you?

- Got her.

Hey Casey, we just wanna
ask you a few questions.

- [Reporter] Casey over here.

Casey, where you going?

- [Interviewer] Casey please
one second of your time.

- [Reporter] Tell me about the
kidnapper.

Did you see anything?

- [Interviewer] Casey,
did you get a good look

at the kidnapper?

- [Reporter] Are you and Sam an
item?

- [Interviewer] Come on, Casey.

- [Reporter] Are you cashing in?

- [Interviewer] Wy did she
target Jack?

- [Reporter] Is he helping your
mother?

- I don't know.

- [Interviewer] Do you
think she killed Naomi?

- [Reporter] No, no, I think you
do know.

What can you tell me about th...

- Casey, did Sam Austin give
you any money for helping...

- Hey guys knock that crap off.

- [Reporter] Just ignore him.

Just ignore him.
- Hey, I said knock it off.

I said back off now.

Hey man, we have a right to be
here.

- Watch your head.

Watch your head.

(soft music)

You okay?

Casey, are you all right?

- Yeah.

Yeah, I'm okay.

Thank you.

- Just doing my job.

I didn't think they'd
be on you this quickly.

Hollywood's a small town.

- But I'm not in Hollywood.

- You are now.

Like it or not after what
you did for Sam and Jack,

you're the new flavor of the
month.

- How did they find me?

- Money talks.

Just be glad it's only the
paparazzi.

- How did you find me?

- Look.

Part of my job for Sam is to
ensure his

and Jack's personal safety.

So, that includes looking
into people in their lives.

- So you're stalking me.

- No.

No, come on.

Casey, I'm here for Sam.

He wanted to come talk to you
himself,

but with everything that's
happened,

he didn't wanna bring any more
attention

to you than necessary.

Sam feels bad that your
chat yesterday got cut short

and he wanted me to invite you
over,

so you two can finish your
conversation,

but Sam was thinking that you
all

could have dinner together
tonight.

- Tonight?

- Yeah.

Unless you'd rather hang
out with the paparazzi.

(soft music)

- [Jack] Casey.

- Hey Jack.

How are you?

Are you all right?

- [Jack] Yeah, I'm okay.

- Jack, don't you have something
you wanna say to Casey?

- Oh yeah.

Thank you for helping me.

- Of course.

I will help you any time
you ever need all right.

- Should we show her inside,
bud?

- Yeah.

Come on.

Over here's the dining room
and upstairs is my play area.

- Wow.

- I don't mean to be rude but I
gotta talk

to Mark for a second.

Do you mind excusing us?

- Oh, of course.

- Thank you.

Mark.

- [Jack] Casey, come check this
out.

- Okay.

- Sam look.

This is not the time for a new
romance.

I don't. We don't know
anything about this girl.

- Let me worry about that.

Have you heard from Bruner?

- He said he might have a lead
but.

- But what?

- She's still out there.

Two days ago was the first time

she popped her head up in weeks.

Before that nothing, not even a
tweet.

All right Sammy, we
are trying to find her.

- You need to find her.

It's been six months.

I can't be worried about
my career and my son

and if you could do your job or
not.

Come on.

- Look, I've been trying.

- [Sam] Try harder.

- Hey, I do everything you ask
me.

You want me to pick up the girl.

I did.

You want me to find the crazy
bitch.

That's what I'm doing.

- Keep your voice down.

I don't care what it takes.

You and Bruner need to find her,

so she doesn't do anything else.

Is that clear?

- Yeah.

- No one is taking my son away
from me.

No one.

- My mom used to read to
me there when I was little.

And that's the TV where
we watch my movies.

My mom said it had to be big
so my movies look really real.

You know?

- Uh huh.

- This is the couch. We do not
eat on it.

Dad's rules.

- I will be sure to remember.

- Come on.

You can see the kitchen next.

They call this an island
which I think is funny

because there's no water.

- They call it an island, bud,

because it's out here
in the middle all alone

whether there's water or not.

Say bye to Mark, Jack.

- Bye Mark.

- Take care, buddy.

You guys have fun.

- Bye.

- Casey, do you want some apple
juice?

I don't get to have soda
but you probably could

since you're a guest.

- I'll tell you what?

Why don't you go wash up
and I'll grab Casey a drink?

- Okay.

- Your home is really beautiful.

- Thanks.

It's a little big for just two
of us,

but what are you gonna do?

Now we do have apple
juice but I was thinking

something a little more grown
up.

- [Casey] Oh yes, grape juice.

Isn't it?

- I think it is.

Do you mind?

- Of course.

- I'm sorry if Mark coming
over earlier was a bit invasive.

- Oh actually it worked out
for the best that he was there.

- Mark's a bit rough around
the edges but he means well.

We grew up together so he's
just being a bit protective.

Cheers.

- Cheers.

- Oh and I'm sorry about all
that paparazzi stuff earlier.

- Don't be.

It's not like you planned it.

- Yeah.

- I'm done, Dad.

Can I go play?

- Finished.

You're finished.

- Thanks.

- I don't think he quite got it.

Hey, I think you're forgetting
something.

- [Jack] Thanks for coming over,
Casey.

- [Casey] Thank you, Jack.

You were a lovely host.

- 30 minutes then it's lights
out.

You got it?

- [Jack] Yes sir.

- I'm coming to check on you.

- Rolling.

Are we speeding?

Sound speed.

Alpha take two.

Marker.

And action.

I know you came here to stop
me but you are too late.

Not a chance, slime ball.

No, don't hurt me.

I'm just a villain taking over
the world.

Is there anything wrong with
that?

Yes, yes there is.

This is my territory.

Either get out or else I will
crush you.

I will protect my world.

- You have a great kid.

- Yeah and he's obviously
on his best behavior

because you're over here.

No, I know.

I know I'm lucky.

It's just I worry about him.

With everything that's
just happened to his mom.

- I'm so sorry, Sam.

- Yeah, thank you.

It's just.

How do you even begin to
talk to a child about murder?

Anyway that's why I left
so abruptly the other day.

I had to talk to the police.

- Do they have any suspects?
- So far the woman who tried

to take Jack is the prime
suspect.

- And if you come here again
trying to take my territory

or kill anymore of my
family, you will suffer.

- Which is actually something
I wanna talk to you about.

I'm taking Jack out of
school just temporarily

for his own safety 'til this
whole thing gets resolved.

- Well if it's a matter of his
safety,

you obviously have to do what is
best.

- What is it?

- Jack's been through a lot this
year.

You know keeping a certain
level of consistency

in an educational environment

is really important at his age.

- That's actually what
I wanted your help with.

As you say, consistency is
important.

You're Jack's favorite teacher
and I want you to come aboard

and home school him full time

for the rest of the year or
longer.

I think that Jack would really
benefit

from having you around.

- Oh.

Well, I wasn't expecting that.

- I think you guys have a great
connection

and I did some checking up on
you,

and I've heard nothing but good
things.

So, what do you say?

- To be honest, I was hoping the
school

was gonna offer me a full
time position next fall.

Quitting mid way through the
year

would not send the best message.

- I understand but if
it's a financial thing,

I mean you'll be well
compensated,

especially considering
how much time you'll need

to be spending around me.

I mean, in that case you
better be paying a lot.

- I can't believe you showed up
here.

I am the titan here.

You will not take my territory.

You have your own territory on
your island

where you are the titan.

You have peace and I have peace.

- In all seriousness, I'm sure
you would

be more than generous.

I would just love some
time to think about.

- Yeah, of course.

Just don't think too long.

I wanna make a decision very
soon

and you're my first choice.

- [Jack] 'Cause I know you are
the titan of that world, too.

- [Sam] Hey Jack, come say bye
to Casey.

- Okay.

All right let's take five.

Cut.

(soft music)

- Thank you, Sam.

I'm really glad I came out.

- So am I.

Goodnight, Casey.

- Goodnight.

- Let my driver take you home

and make sure the paparazzi's
gone.

You have my number so let me
know soon

about working with Jack okay?

- Okay.

I will.

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

(soft music)

(dog barking)

(soft music)

Sam.

Hey.

Sorry if it's too late.

I was thinking about your offer

and if it's you know we
work out a few details,

I think I would like to take it.

(soft music)

(phone buzzing)

- Hello?

- [TJ] Oh my god.

Have you seen it?

- Seen what?

- Check on the link I just sent
you.

I'm on my way.

Make me some coffee.

- Okay.

Oh no.

- [Mark] Who authorized this?

All PR is supposed to run
through me.

How did this get posted?

No, we need to take this down
immediately.

- [Sam] It's fine.

It's innocent and she looks
great.

- Now is not the time for this
much press.

- But this is good press.

Casey is great for my image.

She's the girl next door.

I mean the studio's gonna love
this.

- I don't care about your love
life.

I'm trying to make sure Lynette
doesn't screw things up.

- Marky, relax.

Pretty soon I'll be shooting
Vindicators

and that woman will be behind
bars.

- Or dead.

- Sure.

That makes our life even easier.

- I really hope you're right
about this.

I don't wanna have to clean
up another mess of yours.

- And so I just decided screw
it.

I called him back and I said
yes.

Now that gives me the
time to figure things out.

Plus Sam has been super
sweet about everything.

- Wow.

- What?

- You are totally crushing on
Sam Austin.

- What?

No.

- What?

Yes.

- Stop.

I just think a bird in hand is
worth two

in the bush in this case.

- What the hell does that even
mean?

- It means the job with
Sam is a sure thing

and what if the school isn't?

Unless they offer me a full time
job,

which with this kind of
publicity
doesn't seem too likely.

- You do realize that
this kind of publicity

is exactly what you're gonna get

if you and Sam become an item?

- Fortunately Sam isn't
interested in me,

so I don't have to worry
about us becoming an item.

- But you're totally crushing.

- You're right.

I'm totally crushing.

- I know.

That's what I've been trying
to tell you all morning.

Oh my god.

It's him.

What do I do?

- What do you mean what
do you do? Answer it.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

- What?

- Be cool.

- Yeah.

- [TJ] Yeah.

- Hello.

- Hey, it's Sam.

Look, there is a story about us

with pictures from dinner last
night.

It's total nonsense but I just
wanted to warn you about it.

- Oh that.

Yeah, I saw that this morning.

- I'm really sorry.

We're gonna take care of
everything.

- No totally.

I guess Hollywood's a small
town.

- Yeah, it gets smaller
everyday.

What are you doing today?

- Actually my friend TJ and I
were just

trying to figure that out.

- Go look out your front door.

- Look out my front door.

- It was gonna be a surprise
for saying yes to the job,

but I guess now would
also act as an apology.

I booked you a day at a private
spa.

You can take your friend TJ if
you want.

- Yes.

Say yes.

- So nice of you.

Totally not necessary.

- Well, it's already taken care
of,

so I don't wanna hear
another word about it.

You have fun okay?

- Say thank you, Sammy.

We love you, Sammy.

- Thank you, Sam.

Thank you, Sam.

- Okay come on.

Bye Sam.

Thank you, Sam.

Bye.

- Bye.

(suspenseful music)

(moves into gentle music)

- Thank you.

(camera shutter clicking)

- That massage was wow.

- Right?

Now this is a life we should be
living.

Hashtag Sunday fun day.

- Enjoy it while it last.

- Casey, if you play your cards
right,

this could be your life.

- Please, this is Sam
Austin we're talking about.

Need I remind you his
wife was Naomi Tills.

- I heard the way he was talking
to you.

(suspenseful music)

Okay but serious question.

Are you ready to be a stepmom?

- Oh my gosh.

- Because that kid's gonna
need some serious therapy.

His dad's about to be a
superhero,
his mother was murdered,

and he was almost kidnapped
by a lunatic stalker

who is still on the loose mind
you.

- Well at least Jack's safe now

and Sam has tons of security.

I'm sure they'll find her soon
enough.

- Who knows what that woman is
capable of?

(suspenseful music)

- You look so pretty in this.

(suspenseful music)

- So cute.

- Thank you.

His hair smells like butter.

- [Casey] They just
smell like butter to you.

- [TJ] I got more than his
number, honey.

Tell Sam I want that every week.

- Oh my god.

(soft music)

- I'm gonna call the cops.

(soft music)

(phone buzzing)

- Hey, how'd it go?

What wait?

Calm down.

What happened?

Stay there.

I'm gonna send Mark over.

We're gonna take care of
everything.

- Hey.

What do you think?

- These guys don't anything
but I'm positive it was her.

- Let's find her.

I'm sick of dealing with this.

- Don't worry. We'll find
her before the cops do.

That way then she can't tell
'em what really happened.

- Perfect.

Anything in there?

- Nah, just some fingerprints.

Nothing that they don't already
have.

- Okay.

What next?

- Well, a neighbor across the
street

got a license plate number.

They don't know yet but I'm
gonna go follow up on that.

- That's what I need to hear.

- All right don't worry about
it.

We got it.

- Hey.

You doing okay?

Detective Bruner is pretty
certain this was the woman

who tried to kidnap Jack.

- Great.

What am I gonna do now?

- That's all taken care of.

Grab what you need.

I'm gonna take you to Sam's
'til this all blows over.

You'll be safe.

- [TJ] Hey Casey.

- I'm sorry.

Who are you?

- Who am I?

Who are you?

- [Mark] Casey isn't
able to talk right now.

- Mark, I'm sorry.

This is my friend, TJ.

She was with me when this all
happened.

- Yeah Mark.

- I'm sorry.

We really need to get going
before the news gets here.

- Hey Mark.

I'd like to talk to my
friend for a minute okay.

- Sorry.

Could you just give us a minute
please?

- Please.

- I'll go get the car.

- [Casey] Thanks.

- What is he talking
about go and get the car?

- Sam wants me to come to his
place.

He thinks it'll be safer there.

- I don't know.

I don't trust him.

I heard him outside whispering

with some detective out there.

Something about not wanting
the police to know things.

- I'm sure they just don't want
the press

to hear about this.

Look TJ, they have a point.

Staying at Sam's would be the
safe choice.

You know until this all blows
over.

- Just come stay with me.

- I mean, look at this place.

What if she comes over and
does this to your apartment?

- How is she gonna find me?

- How did she find me?

I wouldn't be able to live with
myself

if something like this
happened to you, too.

- I don't like this, Case.

- [Casey] But you know I'm
right.

- All right fine but as
soon as this is over,

you're coming and you're staying
with me.

- I promise.

- And you're gonna call me
immediately if you need
anything.

Okay?

- You're a good friend, TJ.

- I know.

Come here.

- Casey, I am so sorry.

You don't deserve to be dragged
into this

after everything you've done.

Are you okay?

- [Casey] Yeah.

- You came back.

- Sure did.

- Come check out your room.

- Why don't you guys go inside?
I'll be right behind you.

- Okay.

Come on.

- Your room is pretty awesome.

Come on, Casey.

- Okay I'm coming.

- The guest bedroom is awesome.

- This is the guest room?

- [Jack] You like it?

- I do.

Wow.

- I told you.

It's pretty good.

Just make sure you make the bed

just like this every morning.

- More rules.

- I guess.

Dad hates messy beds.

- No messy beds.

Got it.

Anything else?

- Dinner's at 6:30 and bedtime's
at 8:30.

- For everyone?

- I don't know. You're a lot
older so dad might let you

stay up later than me.

- I think we'll let Casey
choose her own bedtime, bud.

- Old people get to do all the
good stuff.

- Here's a tip, buddy.

Never call a woman old.

Go finish setting the table.

- Yes sir.

- I saw you packed pretty light.

- Yeah, there wasn't much left
to pack.

- I'm sorry about that.

Look in the closet.

I had a friend of mine at
the studio who's in wardrobe,

they got a bunch of stuff that
I thought you'd look good in

and I had to estimate the sizes,

but I think it'll be all right.

- I don't know what to say.

- You don't have to say
anything.

I want you to feel at home.

I'll let you get settled.

Take a shower, get dressed.

Dinner should be ready when
you're done.

- Sam.

Thank you.

- He's asleep.

Finally.

- I didn't think you were coming
back.

- I'm just gonna grab a coaster
for that.

- I'm sorry.

Jack even told me about that.

- No, it's okay.

Naomi could never remember
either.

Wow.

I'm sorry I keep bringing her
up.

It's just.

- No, no worries.

I can't even imagine how
difficult

that must be for you both.

I lost my dad when I was Jack's
age.

- You did?

- Yeah, it was really
hard for my mom and I,

but having my mom be there
and the strong person she is,

it really made everything
better.

And I don't know.

Look at me. I think I turned out
okay.

- I think you did, too.

- I know it feels like a
huge part of you is missing

and that's never gonna get
better,

but you and Jack are gonna
become closer because of this

and he's a great kid and he's
really lucky

to have you as a dad.

- Thank you.

That means a lot.

And your mom, she sounds
like a pretty amazing woman.

- Yeah.

Yeah, she is.

- What is it?

- It's nothing.

Yeah.

- Casey, you can tell me.

- My mom had a stroke a while
back

and she's having a really tough
recovery.

- Oh my god.

- I feel so helpless.

I don't know if she's gonna be
okay

and the bills are just piling up

and the worst part is I don't
even know

if she's you know gonna wake
up and remember who I am.

- I'm so sorry.

Is there anything I can do?

- Thank you but no.

I just need to be strong and not
give up.

- Then we won't give
up because I'm gonna be

right by your side all the way
through.

- Thank you, Sam.

That's really sweet.

- You look beautiful
in that dress tonight.

- Thank you.

I don't think I've worn
a dress since prom.

It's late.

- Yeah, it is late.

You should get some rest.

- Yeah.

- And I'll take these to the
kitchen.

And if you need anything at all
tonight,

you know where to find me.

- Thank you.

Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

- Casey?

I had a bad dream and I can't
sleep.

- Okay.

I'm coming.

All right.

How 'bout I take you to your
room

and read you a story
until you fall asleep?

How does that sound?

- Good.

- Okay, come on.

(soft music)

- Yeah okay great.

This is not gonna come down to
me.

Do you understand?

What do I pay you for?

Find her.

Put the gun in the car then call
the cops.

Easy.

Okay great.

Now take care of this evidence
situation

before it gets out of hand all
right.

Look I gotta go.

Just do what I'm telling you.

You're up.

- [Casey] I'm up.

- Good.

So some good news about your
case.

- Oh yeah?

- Yeah.

Yeah, they got some
fingerprints from your place.

Her name is Lynette Marris and
they're looking for her now.

- [Casey] Great.

- Bruner's pretty good at
finding someone

once he sets his mind on it.

- That's good.

- Yeah.

So look, Sam wanted me to give
you

some instructions for today.

- I'm sorry.

Instructions?

- Yeah, he wants you to
get Jack up and dressed.

Make sure he showers.

And after you make him
breakfast,
you need to work with him.

Develop a lesson plan for your
tutoring.

- I'm a little confused.

- Look Sammy prefers it so make
it happen.

- [Casey] Where is Sam?

- Studio.

Meeting for Vindicators.

Speaking of meetings, I need to
get going.

I left some numbers on the
island counter

if you need anything.

You know actually these meetings
are very important for Sam.

So it's probably best if you
don't

even bother him at all today.

Call me if you need something.

Don't call Sam.

- Good morning to you, too.

- Good morning, Casey.

- Good morning, Jack.

Did you sleep all right
after I tucked you back in?

- Yeah.

- All right the big question is

what are we gonna eat for
breakfast?

- I can have fruit or yogurt

with a healthy cereal for
breakfast.

- I think we should have
pancakes.

- My mom used to make me
pancakes,

but dad said I can only have
them now on special occasions.

- Oh.

Well, this is our first
breakfast together.

I think that's pretty special.

Isn't it?

- [Jack] I guess so.

- All right, pancakes it is.

And I could give you a couple
books I think you might like

since you like to read.

How does that sound?

- [Jack] Would you read them
with me if I need any help?

- Yes.

- Good.

I liked it when my mom would
read with me.

(phone buzzing)

- Jack, could you just give me a
minute?

This is Casey.

She's awake.

Now.

Okay yes.

Yes, I'm gonna be right there.

Okay.

Jack.

We're going on a little field
trip.

- Field trip?

- Yes.

Come on let's go.

Okay.

Dammit.

I'm sorry.

- It's okay.

My dad says it sometimes, too.

What's wrong?

I just realized I don't have
my car and I really need it.

- Where we going?

- Somewhere really important,
Jack.

It's an emergency.

I have to go see my mom.

- I have an idea.

My dad keeps the key to his
car here for the driver.

- Oh but I can't.

Jack, I shouldn't drive your
dad's car.

- But it's an emergency.

- Now she has a lot of progress
to make

and it won't be easy on either
of you.

- But she's awake?

- Yes.
- And she asked for me?

- Yes.

It's a really good sign.

(soft music)

- That's it, ladies.

It's official.

Sam Austin is in love.

We caught up with him outside

of Cafe Unreal earlier this
afternoon

and managed to get this out of
him.

- [Reporter] Hey, hey Sam, Sam.

Tell us about Casey.

- Casey's wonderful.

- [Reporter] Is it serious?

When did she move in?

- No comment.

(soft music)

- Excuse me.

Miss Wright.

First of all, I wanted to
tell you how happy I was

to hear that your mother
took such a huge step

towards her recovery today.

- Thank you.

- And I wanted to say
personally how much I appreciate

that you not only made
your account current,

but paying us in advance for
next month.

I'm glad we're gonna be able

to continue to help your mother.

Thank you.

- I don't care what you have
to do. I want them found now.

Nevermind, they just walked in.

I'm gonna call you back.

- Dad, guess where we went.

- Go to your room.

- Sam, you're never gonna
guess what just happened.

- Go to your room, Jack.

Now.

- I can explain.

- You take my son and steal my
car.

- I know this looks really bad.

- Every time he leaves
this house, he's at risk.

What were you thinking taking
Jack

somewhere without telling me?

Who the hell do you think you
are?

- It was.

Sam, it was my mother.

She woke up and she asked for
me.

- I don't care if your
mother suddenly got up

and started dancing.

Nobody takes my son
anywhere without my say so.

Do you understand me?

We're gonna finish this
conversation later.

I can't even look at you right
now.

(gentle music)

(moves into suspenseful music)

- You.

You shouldn't be here.

You're ruining everything.

Shut up.

I know what you're trying
to do and it won't work.

Sam said that we'd be married
when the time is right

and there is nothing
you can do to stop it.

- I don't know what you're
talking about.

- You think I won't kill for
him.

- Casey.

- Liar.

You promised me.

You said to be patient
and now you're with her.

- Dad?

- Jack, go to your room.

Jack, go back to your room.

Now.

- I don't know who you
are or what you want,

but if you just put down the
knife, we can discuss this.

- You said we'd be married.

You said I'd be Jack's mom.

You said we'd be happy together
forever.

- I'm sorry but I've never met
you.

(suspenseful music)

- Liar.

(suspenseful music)

- Stay there.

No, it's not mine.

I thought you could use
something strong.

Mark just finished up
talking to the police.

Thanks for your help with Jack.

I didn't think he was gonna get
to sleep.

- She was so far gone.

I mean.

She said you promised you would
marry her.

She really believed you guys
were

in a relationship together.

That's frightening.

- That's because she's crazy.

I mean, think about what
she did to your place.

She's just someone who made
up a fantasy in her head

that had horrible, horrible
consequences.

Casey, I owe you an apology.

What I said earlier about your
mother, that was awful of me.

- Yeah.

Yeah, it was.

- And it's not an excuse but I
just.

I was just really scared for my
son.

He's all I have left in this
world.

He's the only thing that matters
to me.

Not my career, not money, not
fame.

- Sam, I would never hurt Jack.

Never.

- I know.

And I obviously I want nothing
more than

for your mother to make a full
recovery,

which is why I paid for her
treatment.

- Thank you but I can't accept
that and I will pay you back.

- No, there's no need.

I wanna do it.

- I can't.

- What's wrong?

- [Casey] I should go.

- Why?

- I think I should stay
with TJ for a little while.

Just get away from all of this
craziness.

- Let's get out of here.

- What?

- Yeah, first thing in the
morning.

Just the three of us.

We'll get out of here.

We'll go up to the mountains.

I have a cabin.

I've been going there
since I was a little kid.

We'll just go up there
and forget about all this.

Nothing but sunshine, mountains.

Peaceful.

- That sounds perfect.

(soft music)

- [Jack] Come on.

- [Casey] I'm coming.

- Hey, let me grab that.

- Okay, thank you.

- You're all set?

- Yeah.

- [Jack] Get in, Casey.

(soft music)

- So far so good.

- All right.

Keep me posted.

- Will do.

(soft music)

You guys have fun.

(soft music)

- [Sam] Here we are.

- This is really cute.

- Yeah, it was my mom's
before she passed away.

She loved it here.

- [Jack] Dad, can we go fishing?

- [Sam] Tomorrow we will go
fishing.

Today we're gonna relax.

Rest up.

We'll meet you inside.

- [Jack] Okay.

(phone dinging)

- [Sam] Can I get your bag?

- Oh, I got it.

I'm just gonna call TJ back
and I'll meet you inside.

- Okay.

- The Los Angeles District
Attorney

now considers the Naomi Tills
murder investigation closed

after it appears that
obsessed fan, Lynette Marris,

is the one who gunned
her down six months ago.

- Based on new evidence,
a revolver that was used

to murder Naomi Tills, was found
in Lynette Marris' vehicle.

The vehicle and weapon were
found by Detective Bruner

of the Los Angeles Police
Department.

We consider the inquiry into the
matter

of Naomi Tills' death closed.

- Thanks for watching and
don't forget to subscribe.

- Find her.

Put the gun in the car then call
the cops.

- I don't trust him.

I saw him whispering with
some detective out there.

Something about not wanting
the police to know things.

- [Sam] Hey.

- [Casey] Hey.

- [Sam] Are you okay?

- [Sam] Dad, I'm hungry.

- We're gonna eat in a minute.
Go put your stuff away, bud.

- Fine.

- What's wrong?

- I.

- Hey, come here.

What is it?

- They announced they closed
Naomi's case.

- Yeah.

Yeah, Mark told me this morning.

- Mark's actually what I
wanted to talk to you about.

They're closing the case

because they found a gun in
Lynette's car

and the other morning
when I was waking up,

I overheard Mark talking about
the gun

and this evidence situation.

- What?

- And the strange thing is
just Lynette didn't use a gun

when she broke into your house.

Is that weird?

- I'm not sure that I
get what you're saying.

- If she had a gun, wouldn't
she have used a gun?

She attacked us with a knife.

- What are you getting at?

- How much do you trust Mark?

- With my life.

- Nevermind.

I'm sorry.

- He's my best friend, Casey.

Look, I appreciate the concern.

I do.

But you gotta trust me.

Mark had nothing to do with
Naomi's death.

- [Jack] Dad, I'm starving.

- Can we have a good time now?

- Yeah.

- Come on.

(soft music)

- Smells good.

- And it is going to taste good.

- Is there anything I can help
with?

- No, no, no.

There's nothing you can help
with.

You can go in the other room and
relax.

I'll bring us a drink.

- Okay.

(soft music)

Hey, what are you doing?

- Watching movie of Mom I did
before.

- [Casey] May I see?

- If you want.

- More movies?

Dinner's gonna be ready in 10.

- Okay.

- Oh gosh, tonight was so great
though.

Cheers to you, darling.

- Hey, to us.

- To us.

- [Jack] Mom, dad.

- Jack okay.

With that camera.

If you're gonna film us,
come a little closer.

Make sure you get us both in the
frame.

Good.

Look at him.

- You look beautiful
in that dress tonight.

- Sam.

- Doesn't Mommy look
beautiful in that dress, Jack?

You look beautiful in that dress
tonight.

Hey Jack, come here a second.

- Yes sir.

Hold this.

(soft music)

- But this is good press.

Casey is great for my image.

She's the girl next door.

Studio's gonna love this.

- I don't care about your love
life.

- I don't know who you
are or what you want,

but if you just put down the
knife.

- Liar.

(soft music)

You have to promise me.

I cannot be lied to again.

I cannot take another one of
your lies.

- Honey, I am not lying.

Of course I promise.

We just we can't go public until
everything's taken care of.

- [Lynette] Are you sure
this is the only way?

I don't want.

I don't want.

- It is the only way.

After you do this, we get to be
together.

Do you love me?

- Yeah, of course.

- Then you need to do this.

- But I've never.

- She wants to take him away
from us.

You wanna me a mommy, don't you?

This way you'll get to have
a child of your own with me.

Doesn't that sound great?

- Yeah.

- Just make sure you do it
quick and then get out of there.

Mark will meet you in the desert

and he'll get rid of the gun.

Can you do this?

Good.

That's a good one.

I mean, it's not my best
performance,

but I thought it was believable.

- She wasn't lying.

That's what she meant when she
said she would kill for you.

You had her kill Naomi.

- Yeah, Lynette really
would've done anything for me.

God, I'm gonna miss her.

You know, Naomi bought him that
tablet.

She taught him how to take video
in hopes

that someday he'd become a
filmmaker.

It's ironic, isn't it?

She was always doing things
like that without my permission,

even after she rode my
coattails to stardom.

- So you killed her?

- What?

- Stay there, Jack.

- Stay back.

- I would've let her walk away,
too.

I mean, she would've been
washed up without me anyway.

I'm Sam Austin.

Who the hell is she, right?

But she just wouldn't go away
quietly.

She had to try to take Jack away
from me.

Do you have any idea how that
would look?

- So you killed her?

- If you know anything about me,

you know that I would never let
anybody

take Jack away from me.

Never.

(dramatic music)

- Go, hide.

(dramatic music)

Run, Jack.

Run.

(dramatic music)

- Ah.

Casey.

- [Casey] Run.

- Jack, come back.

Jack, I need you.

(dramatic music)

Give me Jack or I'll kill you.

Jack.

- [Casey] This way.

(dramatic music)

- You can't hide out here.

Jack.

(suspenseful music)

Jack, come back.

Jack.

Where are you, buddy?

- Casey, I'm scared.

- I know.

I know but it's gonna be okay.

- [Sam] Jack, buddy.

- Jack, remember what we do

when there's an emergency at
school?

- 911?

- Yes, okay.

Your dad's not really
feeling well right now

and I need you to call 911.

- Me?

- Yes.

Tell them we need the police
here.

Okay?

When I go away, I need you to
count to 10.

Then you're gonna run as fast as
you can

and you're gonna call.

- Don't leave me.

- It's gonna be okay, all right.

I promise.

Okay.

- [Sam] Casey.

Casey, come back.

Where are you?

Jack.

- It's gonna be okay.

Start counting.

- One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

- Can't hide forever.

- [Casey] Sam.

I'm over here.

- Not gonna hurt you.

Just need to talk.

Making a huge mistake.

If you just do what I tell you
to do,

I promise we can put
all of this behind us.

- Lynette and your ex wife.

- You're not like them.

You're special, Casey.

Together we can be unstoppable.

- What?

- You're gonna be my new wife.

You're gonna be Jack's new mom.

- You're sick.

- I thought you were perfect,

but now I gotta get rid of you,
too.

- Dad, stop.

(suspenseful music)

- So the LAPD just found Mark
Haynes.

He's been placed under arrest.

Can you believe this guy?

I was a huge Sam Austin fan.

- Hey.

So glad you two are okay.

Hey Jack.

- Hey guys.

Jack's aunt Meredith is
on her way to pick him up,

so you're free to go if you'd
like.

- No, I'm gonna stay.

- Yeah.

Hey there, buddy.

You did the right thing
giving us a call like you did.

You are quite a hero.

Yeah.

- Hey Sheriff.

- Yeah.

- Need you over here for a
second.

- Excuse me, guys.

(soft music)

- Bye.

- Hi Jack.

- [Jack] Hi Casey.

- Is that your Aunt Meredith?

Wow, she looks just like your
mom.

Are you excited to be back?

- Sure.

- I'm so excited to have you
back here.

All right, I'll see you inside,
okay?

- Okay.

(soft music)

(moves into bright music)
