Galentine's Day Nightmare (2021) - full transcript

Male voice: As many
of you know,
Lisa and I met on a blind
date three years ago.
I still remember walking
her to her car that night.
I had this odd feeling I
was going to marry her.
When you know, you know, right?
As I stand here today,
I am a broken man.
My better half is gone.
And Madison's mother's gone.
♪
She loved being your mother
more than anything
in the world, maddie.
Please know that.
(Sigh)
Thank you.
Thank you.

So, are we the definition
of the modern woman?
No boys allowed the
night before Valentine's?
Or... are we just desperate?
Desperate? Claire, it's
galentine's, as in,
a night for us gals to
own our independence.
And who needs a guy
to have fun anyway?
Well, I wouldn't mind
one once in a while
to go to dinner
and a movie with.
Someone who treats
me with respect.
Oh, yeah. Sorry.
It's been over a year and I
haven't gone on one date yet.
I gotta start living again.
Hey, I like this new attitude.
So, how'd you find
out about this place
we're going to, anyway?
-I got a dm from them.
Apparently, it got a new
owner and a makeover.
Sounds like another
reason to celebrate to me!
-Well, I can't
stay out too late.
Why?
Have you forgotten our
new boss starts tomorrow?
-Oh right.
I can't believe Margaret Coleman
bought the whole company.
Her family is crazy rich.
Well, she's gonna love
you, you know why?
Because you're great
at what you do. 'K?
So, you're gonna walk
in there tomorrow
like you own the place.

Hey. Happy
Valentine's day.
I'm Scott.
Someone didn't get the memo.
It's galentine's day.
Three more hours
till Valentine's.
Guess I'm gonna have
to stick around then.
But warning, you may instantly
fall in love with me.
No...
Ooh...
Uh, bye-eee.
Buh-bye.
Bye.
[Chatter]
Just for that, I’m
ordering rounds.
'Cause you slayed that idiot.
He's, uh, been hitting
on every girl in here.
Guys like that give the
male species a bad name.
(Giggling)
Hi. Tiffany.
Brian.
Sophia.
Oh, sorry. Claire.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Ah, look at that, drinks.
It's a pleasure meeting you.
Enjoy.

Brian might have a
thing for you!
He does not!
Oh no, I think she's right.
Yeah. You're a
hot commodity.
Ok. Claire,
admit it.
Totally.
Seriously, stop it right now.
This is supposed to be
a girls' night, anyway.
So, let's have fun and, uh,
just enjoy these free shots.
That's cool, right?
(Laughs) Here's to galentine's.
♪
This has been so much fun.
I'm so happy; I knew
you'd love it here.
Happy Galentine's day.
Happy Galentine!
Oh well, I'm gonna
hit the bathroom
'cause I think my
make-up is melting off.
Oh, yeah.
And I should get going.
Uh, no, no! Wait
until we get back.
Don't leave, ok?
Fine. Fine.
Ok.
♪
Hey, you.
Brian, right?
Either you're good
with names or...
I made an impression.
Well, maybe it was a
little bit of both.
All right, well, I'll take it.
So, Claire. What do
you do for a living?
I'm a designer. Uh,
high-end sportswear.
And what do you do?
Oh, I'm in... in sales.
Hmm. And are you...
Originally from Philly?
No, actually, uh, Atlanta.
So, what do you
think of this place?
It's got a really good vibe.
Then can I show
you something cool?
Uh... my friends are...
Ah, come on, just five minutes.
I promise I'll have
you back, all right?
Ok. Five minutes.
Five minutes.
Ok. Yeah.
(Laughs)
[Sigh]
How beautiful is this?
Oh. It's... gorgeous.
Yeah.
Are we even allowed up here?
Oh, it's fine. I
know the owner.
He's actually going to
use this as part
of the restaurant.
What a great idea.
Yeah.
You know, sometimes
you just gotta stop...
And appreciate the
little things, right?
I couldn't agree more.
I lost my wife a
couple of years ago,
so now I don't take
anything for granted.
I am so sorry.
It got a little
easier with time.
Friends tell me I need
to get out there again
and go on dates.
Well, mine tell
me the same thing.
That all I care about is work
and working out so...
Well, I happen
to, uh, love work,
and I can't function
without my daily run.
Where do you run?
Oh, just around
the neighborhood. You?
Briarwood Park.
The trails are rugged;
It's super isolated.
It's Philly's best kept secret.
Nice. I'll definitely
have to check it out.
Mm hmm.
Hey, will you
look at that, 12:01.
Mmm.
I guess I'm officially
your Valentine
by sheer proximity alone.
I guess you are, Brian.
I'm sorry I don't have
any flowers or chocolates.
It's a... little
last-minute.
Well, sometimes spontaneity
is the best gift.
That's a really cool
way to look at things.
Mm hmm.
♪
I can't believe she left.
Mm. Maybe she's
with Mr. Forever.
Or not.
Yeah?
I feel this instant
connection with you, Claire.
I, uh, I really should...
Get back to my friends.
Ok.
Oh, my friends must've left.
Shoot, they tried texting me.
Well, I'd better go.

-Yeah. I just saw. They
found the murder weapon.
-Yeah, a letter opener.
-What? From where?
Apparently, the cops

from the copy room at work.
Margaret's assistant

Tracking me, Claire?
What, are you a psycho?
In light of our new discovery,
can you run through your

Yeah.
Uh, as I've stated, I was in
my office doing paperwork.
You saw the surveillance video.
I went home after the
restaurant closed.
I fell asleep watching the
news in the living room.
And, uh, when I woke up,
I assumed Margaret
was at her morning yoga class.
I went to my workout,
and that's when I got
the call from you.
What was your relationship
like with your wife?
I wanna be totally
honest with you.
I was considering
getting a divorce.
I even met with an attorney.
Name?
Gerald parsing.
I told him I didn't want
anything from my wife
except to keep the restaurant.
I was planning to take
over the mortgage payments.
What was the problem
with your marriage?
We were both focused
too much on work.
Oh, and you should also know.
I, uh, spent the night with
someone a few nights ago.
Name?
Claire Donahue.
She actually worked
for Margaret.
And how did you meet her?
At my restaurant.
Have you seen her since?
Yes. But not because
I wanted to. She's been...
Stalking me.
She came by my restaurant
unannounced uh,
and then showed up at the
park while I was there.
Oh, and somehow, she found me
at a coffee shop two nights ago.
Name of this coffee shop?
The ground bean.
It's been escalating
with her and,
and I know I should've
said something earlier,
but I thought this
was a robbery.
Do you have any proof
of what you're accusing
Ms. Donahue of?
Well, my hostess saw
her at the restaurant.
Actually, she called the police.
Um, and one of
Claire's friends, uh,
was at the coffee
place with her.
Do you know the
name of this friend?
Stephanie?
Maybe Tiffany, I, I
only met her once.
Does Claire know you
were thinking about
getting a divorce
from your wife?
Yes. I told her the
first night we met.
Then what could her motive be?
If she had something to
do with your wife's death?
When Claire found
me in the park,
I told her I was
rethinking the divorce.
The whole one-night-stand,
it, uh, had left me...
Sort of empty.
And Margaret wanted to
give us another shot.
Claire didn't take it well.
I have text messages.
Uh. Here.
Kim: Do you believe him?
Those texts were pretty bad,
and you saw the
surveillance video.
He was in his office and his
car was in the parking lot
at the time she was killed.
Pretty solid alibi.
Yeah, but you know
as well as I do,
the spouse is number one.
Maybe he had an accomplice.
What did Claire Donahue
say yesterday, anyway?
Not much. I mean, she was
a little bit nervous,
but her boss was
just murdered, so...
You gotta talk to her again.
I just wish we had that
damn security video

I went home after the

I assumed Margaret
was at her morning yoga class.
I went to my workout,

the call from you.
What was your relationship
like with your wife?
I wanna be totally
honest with you.
I was considering
getting a divorce.
I even met with an attorney.
Name?
Gerald parsing.
I told him I didn't want
anything from my wife
except to keep the restaurant.
I was planning to take
over the mortgage payments.
What was the problem
with your marriage?
We were both focused
too much on work.
Oh, and you should also know.
I, uh, spent the night with
someone a few nights ago.
Name?
Claire Donahue.
She actually worked
for Margaret.
And how did you meet her?
At my restaurant.
Have you seen her since?
Yes. But not because
I wanted to. She's been...
Stalking me.
She came by my restaurant
unannounced uh,
and then showed up at the
park while I was there.
Oh, and somehow, she found me
at a coffee shop two nights ago.
Name of this coffee shop?
The ground bean.
It's been escalating
with her and,
and I know I should've
said something earlier,
but I thought this
was a robbery.
Do you have any proof
of what you're accusing
Ms. Donahue of?
Well, my hostess saw
her at the restaurant.
Actually, she called the police.
Um, and one of
Claire's friends, uh,
was at the coffee
place with her.
Do you know the
name of this friend?
Stephanie?
Maybe Tiffany, I, I
only met her once.
Does Claire know you
were thinking about
getting a divorce
from your wife?
Yes. I told her the
first night we met.
Then what could her motive be?
If she had something to
do with your wife's death?
When Claire found
me in the park,
I told her I was
rethinking the divorce.
The whole one-night-stand,
it, uh, had left me...
Sort of empty.
And Margaret wanted to
give us another shot.
Claire didn't take it well.
I have text messages.
Uh. Here.
Kim: Do you believe him?
Those texts were pretty bad,

surveillance video.
He was in his office and his
car was in the parking lot
at the time she was killed.
Pretty solid alibi.
Yeah, but you know
as well as I do,
the spouse is number one.
Maybe he had an accomplice.
What did Claire Donahue
say yesterday, anyway?
Not much. I mean, she was
a little bit nervous,

I'll be back at
your house later.
Yeah. It's the safest
place for you.
She's staying at
my place tonight...
Anna: Claire, I just
heard on the news.
That ranger was murdered.
What? Are you sure?
Mom, I was just at
briarwood park with...
Tiffany.
I gotta call Sophia now. Bye.
Hello?
- Sophia.
- Claire?
I need to see you right away.
- Ok. Where?
-Meet me at that place we used
to meet when we'd skip school.
When?
30 minutes.
Got it.
Can you see if you can find
any background on Tiffany?
Sure.
I'll explain when I see you.
Ok.
Thanks.
The dead park ranger is the
same one that Claire Donahue
said she talked to this morning.
That's a big coincidence.
I don't think this is
a coincidence at all.
Claire: It had to be Tiffany.
How else would Brian have known
that I was going
to be at the park?
And now the ranger's dead?
So I found out she's
originally from Atlanta.
She told us she was from Philly.
She lied.
You know Brian said
that he's from Atlanta.
I would bet anything that
they know each other.
They do. Her resumé
on linked up said
she worked at bistro
470 in Atlanta.
That was Brian's restaurant.
They are in on this together!
They have to be.
Think about it.
Tiffany would've
known that I had used
that letter opener at work.
And she's the one that
invited me to Galentine's
at Brian's restaurant.
I have totally been played.
Ok, so here's
what we're gonna do.
Thanks for helping me.
Yeah.

On behalf of Philly pd, we're

You're a tough lady.

Sophia: Here you
go, ladies.
I brought you my best bottle.
No, we can't thank you
enough, Sophia.
Aw, well, a toast is in order.
Ah yes!
I just got off the phone
with detective Sanders.
Brian has officially been
charged with two murders...
And now that Madison is
talking to the police,
they're going to re-open
her mom's death, too.
Amazing!
Yeah.
You are a true friend, Sophia.
Unlike some people we know.
Uh, do not mention
that woman's name.
Hmm, not even to tell you that
she's officially been charged
with accessory to murder?
Well, that would be ok.
Mm mm hm.
The deal she made to turn
on Brian will help her,
but it doesn't exonerate her.
Did she say why she chose
me to carry out the plan?
She told the police that after
learning about your history,
she figured you'd
make a perfect patsy.
Wow.
Yeah.
Get this.
She also worked in Trenton.
Odds are good that she was
in on Brian's other plan.
[Doorbell rings]
I wonder who that is.
Uh, I'll get it.
- Ok.
Claire: Hope she likes
the surprise.

I thought you ladies
might be hungry.
Yeah. Come on in.
