In Bed with a Killer (2019) - full transcript

A single mother and her daughter move to a new town where she meets the man of her dreams who might be hiding some very dark secrets.

That's going to be really nice.

What? think September was when we were
thinking. Yeah, yeah.

Excuse me. Oh, so sorry.

Sorry.

OK, so, rosebuds for the
boutonnieres. Right.

And what about your bouquet?

Roses. Red ones. Yeah.

She loves roses.

What? have something perfect in mind for
you.

How do you like these?

They're perfect.



Great. Wonderful.

This would be great for
the men's boutonnieres.

Yeah. How do What? look? Great.

It'll go with your smile too. Aw.

Would you guys mind if What? asked
you both something

a bit personal?

Sure. Yeah.

How did you know? How we knew
we were made for each other?

What? mean, yes, but how did you
know it was worth giving

up your dreams for? You know?

Well, that's easy.

It wasn't about giving up our
dreams.

We knew we could still do
them. Together.

Would you excuse me
for just one minute? Yeah.



PHONE KEYPAD BEEPS

Hey. Erm, it's me.

I've made my decision.

What? want to run
a couple of things by you.

Great. I'll see you later.

BELL TINKLES

Sorry, we're closed.

Oh. Hey. You came to the shop.

So, what What? was saying is, yeah,
What? was just really struggling

with the idea of moving in together,
but then What? realised

we can be independent
and still live together.

SHE SCREAMS

What? wonder what kind of people live
here.

Excited to make friends?

Yeah, but What? can't really meet anyone
new outside of school.

It's summer, remember?

I'm sure there'll be kids
in the neighbourhood.

What? guess.

Let's see.

Oh, is that where the bakery is?

Yes.

It's cute, isn't it?

What? love it.

Wow, this town is so small.

What? know. It is.

It'll be good for us.

Fresh start.

Oh, no.

Hm? What?

The fish your dad got me.

Maybe we can...

Maybe we can glue it back together.

No, baby.

It's almost 20 years old.

What? miss Dad.

What? do too.

ASHLEY SNIFFS

Hi. Hi.

You must be Lena.

I'm Heather from the coffee shop
across the street.

Here, have a welcome cup.

Thank you.

Mmm. That's really, really good.

No, like, really good.

What? source from the best farmers
in Central America.

Only the best for my customers.
And your new neighbours.

So, how's business around here?

What? think you're going to do fine.
I've got an idea.

Why don't you grab some of those
cupcakes and I'll introduce

you to the gang, huh?
All right, sounds good.

Around here, they're
turn-of-the-century

red brick, you know.

They're just gorgeous. Yeah, super
laid-back energy.

What? think you guys are going to really
like it.

That's what I'm looking for. Yeah.

Oh, my God! Hey, girl. Hey, how's it
going? Really good.

This is Lena. She's the new baker
from up the street.

Hi. Nice to meet you.
Oh, my God.

Have a cupcake.

My trainer's going to kill me.

Mmm. Oh, my God.

So, I'll see you at yoga
later? Er, yeah.

Bye...

So now let's go check out...

Hey. Hey, Jenny. This is Lena.

She brought cupcakes. Hi.

Oh, wow, OK. Well, you must be
the new baker.

Guilty.

What? really, really shouldn't.

Oh, come on, one little cupcake's
not going to do anything, Jenny.

What? promise they're clean.

100% GMO and pesticide free.

Handmade using only local
ingredients.

OK, OK, OK. You got me.

Oh, gosh. How can What? resist?

You know what? What? will take one for
my son because he is 17

and his metabolism can handle it.

What? actually have a daughter his age.
Oh, that's perfect.

We should introduce them. Maybe
he could show her around town.

Oh, yeah. That'd be great.

How about you? Are you going to be
at yoga tomorrow? Of course.

Hey, Lena, you should come.
Casey will be there too.

Yeah. OK, sounds fun.

Great. It's settled.
I'll put you in.

So, we can go ahead and skip this
place.

Hardware store guy doesn't
like cupcakes?

No, Michael's a big health nut.

Well, shouldn't What? just go in
and introduce myself?

What? wouldn't.

In fact, What? would stay away from
him if you could.

Why?

He's a womaniser and he's dangerous.

Hello, Heather. You keeping
out of trouble?

Very funny.

Don't you have some streets you
need to patrol?

If patrol means standing around
looking at beautiful women,

I'd say absolutely.

You have a new friend here.

Yes. This is Lena. She's the new
baker.

Hello, Lena. Nice to meet
you. Hi. Cupcake?

Oh, thank you very much. No, I'm
trying to, you know...

Hey, Heather.

Who's your friend?

I'm Lena. What? opened the new bakery.

Would you like a sample
cupcake?

Are you kidding me? Absolutely.

Wow, this is delicious.

Maybe worth a cheat day, huh?

Everyday's a cheat day for me. What?
Could eat six more...

OK, Michael. We've got to go.

Don't let me keep you.
Nice to meet you, Lena.

Thanks for the cupcake.

You're welcome. Bye-bye, Heather.
Nice meeting you. Bye, Hank.

It's a shame this isn't open.

We could have done weddings
together.

It was heartbreaking.

She was really cool.

What happened?

This is Beth's flower shop.

She was my best friend, like a
sister,

and then one day she texted Michael,
said that she was leaving.

Since then nobody's got
a single call or text from her.

She just left and never came back.

I'm so sorry.

If you guys were such
good friends,

I'm sure she had a good reason for
leaving without telling you.

What? don't think she did.

Apparently no-one's ever
seen her again.

That's so weird.

What? wonder what happened to her.

What? don't know, but it's not like
there's a murderer running

around the town,

but Heather insists there's
something wrong.

What? just think she's being
a little paranoid.

Let's hope it's just that.

SOMETHING BANGS

What was that?

What? don't know.

Who's there?

We have a knife.

Hey.

Hey. Sorry.

My ball went over the fence.

What? didn't know anyone lived here yet.

You didn't see the moving
van yesterday?

Do you always hop over people's
fences?

Only when it's late at night.

Well, next time just knock on our
door, OK?

Sure thing. Yeah.

I'm Charlie, by the way.

I'm Lena Mitchell. This is my
daughter Ashley.

Hey.

Hey.

Nice to meet you. You too.

Well, What? should probably
be getting back.

My mum's probably freaking out.

See you. Charlie.

Use the door.

It's that one right there? Mm-hm.

UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS

BELL TINKLES

Hey! Hey!

Hello.

This is for you.

Oh, you shouldn't have.

What? really appreciate you showing me
around yesterday.

Well, it was my pleasure.

Why don't we slice this up and
give it out to your customers

for free? Good idea.

I'm going to grab some plates. OK.

Are you trying to karate chop me?
No, I'm like a hardware ninja.

Oh, OK, OK.

Do you ever listen to true crime
podcasts or those docs on Netflix?

Not really, no.

Everything all right?

What? don't know.

Michael and Casey.

What? just hope she's careful.

Aren't you being a little too hard
on them?

What? have a bad feeling about him.

What? hope you have a good feeling about
me. Of course What? do.

You're one of the girls.

Let's pass these out.

Here you go, ladies. It's on the
house, OK?

Enjoy. Thank you. Thanks.

From the new baker up the street.

Thank you.

Don't do that.

CASEY AND MICHAEL LAUGH

You know how What? told you What? was
worried that something

happened to Beth? The florist?

Mm-hm.

Well, she was dating Michael
when she left town.

It explains why he's flirting
with Casey.

Michael seems so caring
and attentive,

but that's usually who's behind the
murder,

the caring and attentive husband.

They weren't even married.
They practically were, though.

Hey. Hey, girl, hey. Hello.

Wow, OK.

All right. Cake after yoga? Mm-hm.
OK.

So, What? see the flirting continues.
Mm-hm.

Has he asked her out yet?

No idea.

She seems to really enjoy
the attention.

Nothing wrong with that.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Coming.

Hey, I'm almost done.

Come on in.

I'm just neatening up.

What's going on?

My God, why are you wearing that?

It's so hot.

Did you try Lena's cake?

It was so good.

Oh, my God, I'm so glad
she moved here.

And you know what?

She is so sweet. What? really like her.

New tops in too.

I'm actually wearing one right now.

OK.

What? hate putting furniture together.

Come on, it's fun.

It's like a puzzle.

Lay all the pieces out.

Where's the...

the metal thing?

What metal thing?

The I-shaped metal stick?

Oh, the Allen wrench?

Should be in there.

No.

No?

All right.

We'll go to the hardware store.

You work here?

Hey. Yeah.

Just for the summer. Cool.

So, can you help us find
Allen wrenches?

And you don't have to jump
over any aisles, though.

Just give me a second.

Hey, girls.

What? don't recommend sneaking
up on customers.

I'm kind of like a ninja around
here.

You can call me
Michael, Hardware Ninja.

Follow me.

Here they are.

Maybe you should label things or
something. Yeah.

What? should get around to that, huh?

You'll be able to find things.

What? could probably find the time to do
that...

What size did you say you need
again?

What? brought the instructions.

Looks like there might be a little
puppy love

between Charlie and your daughter,
huh?

Yeah, she's growing up way too fast.

Here we go.

One Allen key
for one coffee table.

Thank you.

What? could come over and help you build
that thing if you want?

What? think I'm good. Girls can build
things too.

No, What? just meant...

I'm saying all the wrong things
today, aren't What?? No. You're good.

Thanks for the help. Got to go.

You're welcome.

You're doing really well.

Have you done yoga before?

Not much.

Are you enjoying the sessions?

Definitely.

What? was never able to get into crow,
but now it just clicked

when you said look in front of me
and not down. That's the trick.

Hey, where's Casey?

We missed her energy today.

She's usually always here
on Tuesdays.

I'm sure she'll be here tomorrow.

What? should text her.

OK. That is so cute.

Thanks. What? do love coffee.

Oh, What? heard that Charlie ran
into you and your daughter

at the hardware store.

Yes, he did.

Yeah, he came home and he was
talking about

how he thinks Ashley's
kind of cute.

Well, What? hear that he's a bit
of a ladies' man. What? No.

You can't believe that. He's never
even had a real girlfriend.

Speaking of ladies' men, What? hear
that Michael likes to play

the field a lot.

Oh, What? almost forgot.

What? did some digging into Michael's
past last night.

Heather... Check this out.

He was a semi-pro fighter.

He killed a guy during a fight.

Heather, haven't we been through
this enough? Michael's not a killer.

Hey, ladies.

Michael. Come on, let's go.

I'm here for my one-on-one.

What? don't mean to interrupt.

Lena and What? were just leaving.

Why don't you go ahead and put your
things down over there and lay

on the mat when you're ready?
Sure.

Right here OK? Yeah, that's perfect.

Hey, can you text me
when your session's over?

Sure, why?

What? just want to talk to you about
something.

Erm, OK.

Let's go.

Hey, Ashley. My ball went over the
fence again.

Do you mind getting it for me?

Why don't you hop over the fence
and get it yourself?

What? mean, What? would, but you're sitting
right there. That'd be rude.

What? don't want to be rude.

How bad of a basketball player
do you have to be to keep

losing your ball over the fence?

Oh, I'm terrible.

What? mean, I'm really bad.

So, do you want to play a game
or something?

Yeah, let's do it.

ASHLEY LAUGHS

What? think you need more practice in
the paint.

OK, and you're not as bad as you say
you are.

What? was champion of my third
grade basketball team.

Oh, yeah?

How do you like working
at the hardware store?

Er...

What? don't.

Then why do it?

My mom wanted me to get a summer
job, keep me out of trouble.

Did you mean to throw the basketball
over the fence?

Maybe.

You want to see my room?

Hey, so I've got to show you
something. OK.

I'll meet you at the desk.

You need a new hobby.

What? found this in the alleyway
behind Beth's shop

a few clays after she went missing.

You mean left town.

Look, it's got initials on it.

Beth gave this to Michael
for his birthday.

So he threw out
a gift from his girlfriend

after she left town.
That's a pretty normal thing to do.

What? think he used it to kill her,
and then tried to get rid of it.

By throwing it out behind her shop,
literally with his name on it.

And it's clean.

Well, I'm sure he cleaned it
after he killed her with it.

Look, Heather, you are great,

and What? am super thankful
for your friendship,

but you're being really weird
about this.

You know,
she's been gone for a while.

You're just torturing yourself.

You need to let her go.

She's dead. What? know she's dead.
She would have said goodbye.

Oh, hey, hey, it's OK.

I'm sure Beth is fine.
You're just overworked.

What? see how many hours you're
putting into this place.

What? know it sounds crazy.

What? just miss Beth a lot.

What? know, but you just need a few
extra hours of sleep,

and cut out the murder TV
and podcasts for a while.

You know, what if What? asked Ashley
if she would work here

for a few clays a week?
How's that sound?

Yeah, that would help, actually.

And maybe you could actually
take a day off.

Yeah.

Put that away.

HEATHER SIGHS

Ashley, where are you?

What? hope you're ready for
Guthrie's best slice.

Look what What? got!

What? didn't hear you come in.

That's because What? was
going to surprise you.

Hey, Mrs Mitchell.

Charlie.
Can Charlie stay for pizza?

Maybe another time.
What? should probably get going, anyway.

OK, bye. I'll see you later.
See you.

Say hi to your mom.
What? will.

So, you want to watch that show
about the pizza guy

who straps a bomb to his chest?

That's a bit dark, don't you think?

Maybe.

So, Heather just keeps pushing
this murderer/conspiracy thing.

What? don't get it.

She's so broken up
about her friend leaving town

that she's making up stories now.

What? changed my mind. What? think we should
watch it for research.

Oh, God!

And Charlie help me set up the WiFi,
so we're ready to stream whenever.

Speaking of Charlie, you are way too
young to have a boy in your room.

We weren't doing anything.

What? know, but What? am not comfortable
with him being in there,

especially when I'm not home.

Why don't you just trust me?

It's not that, honey. We...

We just don't really
know Charlie very well.

I'm getting to know him.

Look, next year,
you're going to be in college.

You can do whatever you want,

but just take this last year
in high school slow, for me.

You just don't get it.

What? do, actually.

Don't.

Heather, you alone?

Maybe. What do you want?

It's got to stop.

What? don't know
what you're talking about.

The harassment. It's ridiculous.

Well, isn't it true?
It is not true!

Isn't it true you killed someone?

I've got to stop you.

This is the last time I'm
telling you - leave me alone.

Or what?

You'll be sorry.

Wow. What was that about?

He just wants me off his trail.

What? need some tea. You want some tea?

Yeah. Yeah, honey,
I'd love some tea.

So what's the latest?

Besides that just now?

Thank you.

Breathe.

Come on, you can tell me.

What? know how you get all lathered up
after listening to your podcasts.

This thing with Michael -

it's not because YOU have a crush
on him, is it?

Absolutely not!

What? told Lena about the hammer thing.

Oh, God. That nonsense.

What did she say?

Same thing you did.

Serial killers aren't that dumb.

You feel better now?

No. Casey's still missing.

Look, maybe she just
needed some time to herself.

Should we contact her family?

No, What? don't think it's that serious.

She just wouldn't disappear
like this, you know?

She's too polite, too trusting.

What? know she got herself in trouble
somehow.

The polite and trusting ones
always do.

What? think you need to switch to decaf.

So this is a hip flexor.

Child's pose.

So widen out your knees,
and sit back on your heels.

Yeah, that's good.

Great job.

Reach your fingertips
towards the top of the classroom.

In through your nose,
out through your mouth.

Beautiful job.

Great.

Now, when you're ready, we're going
to come up onto all fours,

and we're going to do lion's breath.
Simhasana pranayama.

So we're all going to take a deep
inhale through our nose,

and on the exhale,
you stick out your tongue,

and release the breath with an
"Aah" sound.

Ready?

SHE INHALES DEEPLY

Aah!

THEY COPY HER

Now we're going to transition into
everybody's favourite - corpse pose.

So get comfortable on your backs.

Snuggle your shoulders underneath
you. Open your palms,

and let your feet fall
wherever they do.

And take this moment
to really thank your body.

Only rise when your body
compels you to.

Thank you.
My pleasure.

Thanks.
Mm-hm.

What? just want to say,
What? really found my breath today.

Oh, fantastic, Atticus.

Namaste.
Namaste.

There you are.

Incredible. Great class, Jenny.

I'm so glad that you enjoyed it.

So What? caught Charlie and Ashley
in her bedroom last night.

Oh!
I'm not super happy about it.

Did you...
Did you talk to Ashley about it?

Yeah, What? did.

What? hope you've talked to Charlie
about boundaries with girls.

Yes. Oh, my God.

You don't have to worry about
Charlie.

Honestly, he's a very, very sweet,
very sensitive young man.

OK.
Yeah.

By the way, how is Ashley
adjusting to the move?

She's good.

You know, just a little bored.

Oh.

Well, you know, What? don't know
if she'd be interested,

but What? could use a little help
around here if she's into, like,

maybe a part-time job.

I'll ask her
when What? get home tonight.

OK. Great. Yeah.
Call me, let me know.

All right. Talk to you later.

OK, bye.

Thank you. It was delicious.

Oh, thanks so much.
Have a great day!

SHE GASPS

HE LAUGHS

Scared me, again.

What? told you, I'm pretty sneaky.

Hardware ninja. What? forgot.
That's right!

What can What? get you?
Er...

So What? know What? shouldn't do this,
but What? just had to have

one of your delicious treats
after my burger.

What? have a really great cake today,
so why don't you have a seat?

I'll bring you a slice over.
Okey dokey.

Enjoy. Thanks.

Hey, you wanna join me?

I'm sorry. I'm kind of busy
right now.

You aren't trying to avoid me,
are you?

What? guess What? can spare a few minutes.

Mm. This cake is amazing.

Listen.

What? know things have been a bit weird
around here lately,

but What? want you to know What? had
nothing to do with any of this.

Any of what?

Do What? really have to say it?

What? know what you're talking about.

And...

there's something else.
What's that?

I've done a lot of work
to clear my name over the years.

What? tried really hard
to make up for my past.

But I'm not perfect.

It's OK.
No, hear me out.

Heather showed me the headline.

So you can understand
why I'm here, then?

People make it really hard
to start over.

Everyone's running from something.

Are we?

My husband passed away
from cancer and...

after that, What? just couldn't
go back to my old life.

Lena, I'm so sorry.

What? need to go back to work. OK.

Thanks again for the cake.

You're welcome, hardware ninja!

That's my dad and me
on a fishing trip.

It was like a year
before he got sick.

He looks really nice.

He was.

What? wish my dad was nice.

At least you have a dad.

What? don't.

He walked out on us.

One day he just went to work
and never came back.

I'm so sorry.

My mom says that he's got
this new family somewhere

but What? wouldn't know.

Well, maybe Michael can be
your new stepdad.

You're hilarious, but...

What? don't think he likes my mom
like that.

Do you trust him?

What do you mean?

What? trust you.

You do?

What? didn't say how much.

How was your clay?

Mom, we weren't even in my room.

What? didn't just mean your room.

What? meant being alone in the house
at all.

How was What? supposed to know that?

You just were.

That's such crap!

Now you're just making
the rules up as you go along.

What? am not.

And please don't talk to me
like that.

You don't know
what it's like for your dad to die.

When people ask about my parents...

What? try to avoid it.

What? just want to say, "Oh, my mom and
me," because it's easier to pretend

that it's always been that way.

Charlie does the same thing.

He's the only one that
understands what I'm going through.

I'm sorry.

What? miss Dad, too.

What? really, really miss him.

Do you think it's ready yet?

Let's check.

What? think it needs another couple
of minutes.

OK. What? need you to make a decision
on this part time job thing.

Is it going to be Jenny's
or Heather's?

Jenny is Charlie's mom, right?

Uh-huh.

What? think What? want to work
at the yoga studio.

Of course you do.

All right. What? will call Jenny
tomorrow and tell her you'll

stop by the studio.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Finish the pasta and the sauce.

Michael, what are you doing here?

What? realised that What? did not properly
welcome you to town, so welcome.

Thank you. That's awfully nice
of you.

So my daughter and What? are
just getting ready to eat.

Ooh! Pasta.

Mom, aren't you going
to invite him in?

Yeah. No. No, it's OK.

What? was joking.
You are more than welcome to.

Really? Really.

Hey, Casey, it's Heather.

No need to call me back.

I'm in the boutique in case
the security company calls you.

You don't have cameras, do you?

What? hope you're alive.

That's a lot of bleach.

That's definitely blood.

Jenny! jenny, What? need you at
the boutique right now.

Plus it was really funny.

That's really sweet.

Isn't my mom the best?

She certainly sounds like it.

OK, well, I've had enough
adult romance.

Hey. I'm going to bed.

Goodnight, honey.

She seems like such a great kid.
She is.

Can What? ask you something personal?

Anything.

About Beth?

Beth...

How did you guys meet?

What? like these.

OK, great. It's a nice spot
you got here.

Oh, thank you. Thank you.

I'm pretty proud of my shop.

Yeah, this town seems
like a perfect place to

open my own business, finally.

SO hopefully business will go well.

What? don't know, maybe
I'll settle down. What? hope you do.

And some of these.

Great. Well, this is
a very nice array of blooms.

I'm sure your wife
will be very happy.

Yeah, they're for my mother,
it's her birthday.

Oh, OK.

No wife?

No wife. Girlfriend?

Mm-mm. Oh, OK.

Well, I'll just go make these up.
All right.

We were pretty serious.
What? asked her to move in with me.

What did she say?
That she'd think about it.

Then she sent me a text saying
that she's leaving town one day.

She sends you a text?
She didn't do it in person? No.

What do you think that is?

What? don't know.

Maybe she dropped a bottle
of nail polish.

When blood dries, it looks
like that, right? Heather.

Really? You smell that?
It smells like bleach.

It does. Why would
she need bleach?

Honey, you're letting your
imagination run away with you again.

Nobody is dead.

I'm gonna call the cops.

You're gonna call the cops
and tell them what?

That Casey texted me and told me
she's with her dad?

And, Beth, look, What? loved Beth
just like you loved Beth,

but you remember her
and she was flaky and flighty.

Don't you see a pattern here?

No, What? don't.

I'm sorry. What? don't see a pattern.

But what What? do see is that
you are sick.

You need to go home
and you need to get some rest.

All right?

What? was going to find our friend.
Heather, please. OK? Go home.

What's going to happen
if you get too sick to work?

You're pushing yourself too hard.

So, please, for me, will you please
go home and get some rest?

OK. OK.

I'm gonna get some soup.

What? don't like soup.

Have you heard Heather's
conspiracy theory?

Which one? That Beth
was disappeared.

She won't quit, will she?

Can't people just stop
talking about her leaving?

What? mean, it's hard enough to get
by in life without being the subject

of town gossip, you know.

It must be difficult.

She did find her hammer
with your initials.

It was a gift, and What? tossed it.

What? haven't looked back since.

Just so you know, What? don't believe
the rumours.

Don't you? Yeah.

Thanks.

Well, at least not most of them.

So job's yours if you want it.

Thank you so much. Yeah.

When do you think
you might want to start?

How about right now?

OK. OK.
You think you're ready?

What? was born ready. What? like it.

That's a good attitude.

All right. Well, the cleaning
supplies are right here. OK.

And What? usually start off by sweeping.

OK. Yeah.

So how's your mom doing?

She adjusting OK? Everybody
around here has been, you know,

a little bit on edge lately.

Yeah, What? think she's OK.

She had a guy over
for dinner last night.

It was nice to see her smile
like that again.

She hasn't done that
since my dad was around.

Who is the guy?

It was weird, he sort of just
showed up unannounced.

It was the guy
from the hardware store. Michael?

Mm-hm, yeah.

What? think they had a lot of fun.

Look pretty cute in that sweatshirt.

Zip it up, you'd be a goth.

What? don't want that, What? guess.
Better take it off.

Thanks for lunch.
What? really appreciate that.

Yeah.

No problem, Charlie.

Listen, Charlie.

What? know your mom's not around much.

She's doing her best
to pay the bills.

She cares more about her
stupid classes than me, but...

The world can be a tough place,
Charlie.

Especially without
your parents around.

You're a good kid. You really are.

You're the first person
to ever call me that.

That feels weird. Well, you are!

What? want you to know if...

you ever want to talk about things
or you ever need someone...

I'll be around for you, all right?

It's getting mushy now, so...

Knock you out.

Lena.

You're tenacious, aren't you?

What? don't know what that means.

You don't give a girl a break.

Would you like to have dinner
with me? just the two of us alone.

Oh. What? realised this morning
What? just sort of invited myself

into your house last night.

Could What? make it up to you
by taking you out?

Michael, What? think
you're a really nice guy.

What? just don't know if I'm ready
for romance yet.

You know, I'm just still trying
to figure out what my life is

and start over.

Don't blame me for trying.

You change your mind,
you know where to find me.

What? will go out with you.

Really?

Yes. It's been a year.

What? can go out on one date.

Fantastic!

I'll pick you up at eight.

DOOR OPENS

Hey, Heather.

Hey. I'm just finishing up.
You want some tea?

Yeah, yeah. Your iced tea
looks really good.

Sure. Thanks.

So how's the
detective business going?

Well, What? am piecing it all together.

Here. Thanks.

OK. So Beth decided to stay
and someone killed her for it.

And then someone didn't like
that Casey and Michael

were getting so close
and now Casey is gone.

But you said yourself the Casey and
Michael were just friends, right?

And that Casey didn't even
like him in that way?

So that theory is no good.

You were close with both of them.

Did they ever tell you anything
about feeling threatened,

or in danger or...?

No. Never.

You're not interested in Michael,
are you? Heather, listen.

You should really
just leave this alone.

You know, before you get hurt.
Get hurt?

What do you know that What? don't?
OK.

See? This is exactly
what I'm talking about,

you're going over the edge.
Jenny, I'm fine.

No, you're not. Your behaviour is
borderline psychotic.

What? don't appreciate the way
you're talking to me.

Well, I'm sorry.
It's the truth. OK?

You're on some crusade, strictly
for your own entertainment,

and you're ruining someone's life
in the process.

You don't even seem to care.

You're a coffee shop owner. OK?
You're not a detective.

And, frankly,
you're embarrassing yourself.

You're embarrassing your friends.

Jenny, I'm just trying
to find our friends, OK?

I'm trying to... OK, OK, OK.

What? didn't mean that.

I'm sorry.

Just drop it.

No promises.

That should do it.

SHE GASPS

Are you nervous?

A little.

All right. I'm really nervous.

Do you think he changed his mind?
No. Trust me. He likes you.

KNOCK ON DOOR

For you. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Is this too dressy?
Should What? change?

You look amazing. Really.

Thank you. Of course.

Oh, sorry. What? totally forgot
that I've already brought you some.

But that's what you're supposed
to do, right? That's OK.

Thank you.

Sorry, I'm late.

Are you OK? You're a
little flustered.

No, What? just had a customer show up
to the shop.

What? know how that is.

Should we go? Yeah!

Have her home by midnight, please.

Yes, ma'am. You have fun.

Pizza's in the fridge.

And remember...
What? know - no house guests.

Thank you. Shall we?

What? have never had pulled pork
like that in my life.

Pretty amazing, isn't it?

Words cannot describe.

Hey, I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry, it's me.

I'm not used to that.

It's gonna take me a little bit
to get to the hand thing.

No problem. All right?

What? get it.

It's OK.

You're a really good mother,
you know that?

Not a lot of people could
have gone through what you went

through and stayed as strong.

Sometimes What? feel like
I'm the teenager.

She's the one who pushed me
to go out tonight.

You needed somebody to push you?

My rugged charm
wasn't enough for you?

No, What? don't mean it like that.

Maybe she could push you
to see a movie tomorrow.

Got some Chevy Chase movies
going on...

No! Yeah. It's only ten miles
from here.

I'd love to. Yeah? Yeah.

Awesome.

They got Twizzlers, your favourite!

How can What? say no?

Hey, Lena, you haven't seen
Heather, have you?

No. Isn't the shop open?

We've been waiting here
for a half hour.

What? have some tea over at my place
if you guys are interested?

Yeah, that'd be great. All right,
I'll meet you guys over there.

You're welcome.

You're welcome.

You got any more of that cake?

What? have a fresh batch
resting right behind the counter.

Cool. All right. Let's go.

What? think I'm finished
with the floors.

Oh. Do they look OK?

Erm, let's take a look.

Yeah. Great. Great work.

So now you can just take this
and put it back in that storeroom

that What? showed you and then we've
got a couple of minutes.

So come on back and we can take
a break and chat.

MESSAGE ALERT

ls there anything else What? can do?

No, not right now, honey.

When Michael gets here, What? can show
you how to check students

into the computer.

What did you and your mom do
last night? Nothing.

What? ate pizza and watched a movie.

She went out. Wow, busy lady.

Yeah. With who? Michael.

Again? Mm-hm.

Those rumours about him,
they don't...

they don't bother you?

Not really.

My dad always said that
talk is cheap.

I'm just glad that
she's finally getting out.

She says that they're just friends
but What? can tell that he likes her.

Is she serious about him?

What? don't know. What? mean,
she's not a casual dater,

even before she met my dad.

They always said that she was
the hardest lady to date in LA,

and then he convinced her to go
on a first date,

and the rest is history.

Hey, Mom.

Hi, monkey! Hi!

What time does...

Ashley get off?

How about now?

Really? Yeah.

You guys, you go ahead, you go
and enjoy the sunshine.

Cool. Yeah. Thanks.

Namaste, Ashley.

Hey, jenny.

Everything OK at the studio?
Yeah, yeah.

What? just figured I'd pop
by and say hello.

What's that?

What? found them out back
in the parking lot.

Do you recognise them?

No. Should What??

Look at the coffee cup.

What? think their Heather's.

What?

So how long you been dating Michael?

What? wouldn't say that we're dating.

So you just slept with him?

Jenny, that's not
really any of your business.

Are you gonna see him again?

We're planning on going
to a movie tonight.

But now...

What? don't know, What? think I'm
just gonna cancel.

That's good.

He's not really
your type anyway, is he?

How would you know
what my type is?

Because What? know your kind.

My kind? Yeah.

Yeah. You've breezed from
a big city like some wounded bird

to a small town,
looking for people to help you.

Is that right?

What? figured What? would
just come by

and give you a little
friendly advice.

He's not yours.

You should just stay away from him.

Do you hear me?

What? hear you.

That's really good.

I'm going to give these to Heather.

You... You should probably just
go back to wherever you came from.

I'm fine right where What? am.

Not for long.

Lena!
SHE SCREAMS

Oh! Oh! oh, my God!

What? haven't been hit that hard...
Good shot.

You're lucky that's all you got.

Thanks.

So what's the deal
with you and Jenny?

Not sure what you mean. She came
over here today on a rampage.

She's just a friend.

A friend that gives you
private yoga lessons?

She likes to do that because What? gave
her son a job,

just to repay a favour,
sort of thing. That's right.

You also work with her son.

You know, What? am not one of these
girls that you could just gaslight.

What? swear, Lena, nothing's going on.

You're the only one What? care about.

Well, tell that to Jenny.

Because I'm done. We're done.

You can find some other girl...
Come on, Lena, don't be like that.

You know, I'm not feeling very well.

What? can't make it.

That's OK. Don't.

Don't touch me. Lena.

And What? think you should go.

OK.

Your legs look... They look good
in the water.

SHE GIGGLES

They only look good in the water?

No, What? mean, they look good outside
of the water, but they look good...

You know...

I'll take it. OK, good!

Just take it and run with it,
please.

Oh, my gosh.

ROTARY PHONE-STYLE RINGTONE

Oh, one sec, it's my mom.

Wow, that's a pretty
old-school ring.

Hi.

Where are you?

Look, do me a favour and go home.

I'll be there soon.

Come on, Mom,
we're not even inside.

Ashley, just go home, please.

What? don't want to hear it.

So annoying. You OK?

Yeah, nothing.

You know you can tell me anything,
right? What? know.

Thanks.

That's good.

OK.

We're going to do one more
deep breath.

Really get a good stretch.

Yeah.

And now,
we're going to settle into...

Shavasana.

That's real good.

You know, erm...

I think Charlie's always
secretly hoped

that you and What? would get together.

Really? Yeah.

What? just think he really admires you.

You know?

What? even think that he got
a little angry

when he thought you were
dating Casey.

Casey's just a friend.

I'd rather he doesn't think
I'm Ted Bundy, like everyone else.

What? know you could never hurt anybody.
Yeah.

Well, What? have.

Do you want to talk about it? No.

Definitely not.

It's just that, you know, What? mean,

if there was ever anything that
What? could do?

What? mean, you've been such a great
father figure to Charlie, and...

What? mean, you know that his dad
isn't in our lives any more. What? know.

What? feel bad for
Charlie. Every kid needs a father.

I just...

What? don't know what
we would do without you.

I'm not going anywhere.

OK?

What a gentleman.

So, same time tomorrow?

Yes, ma'am. Great.

Hey, are you sure What? can't pay
you for the class? Oh, no, no.

What? can't take your money.

Not after everything you've
done for Charlie and me.

Thanks, Jen.
Let me know if you change your mind.

And in the meantime, if you need any
hardware solutions... Yeah.

I'm your guy. Yes, you are.

There it is.

How's it going
at the hardware store?

You know, it's pretty slow.

Is Michael still trying
to be your dad?

What's your deal with him?
What do you mean?

What? mean, you don't
seem to like him much.

What? like that he's into my mom.

But What? have a bad feeling about him.

All the women in this
town are obsessed with him.

Yeah, my mom included. Really?

It's annoying and it's embarrassing.

She's always texting him and giving
him these free yoga lessons.

Oh, no.

What? What's wrong?

What? told her that
my mom and Michael went on a date.

Really?
Yeah, now What? feel like a jerk.

Sure it's not a big deal, so.

Did you know that he killed someone?

Yeah, he told me.
It's why he moved here.

Wow, OK, so it is true.

Apparently, he just hit someone
so hard, he died.

But it was in the boxing ring, so.
Yeah, but that's really strong.

It's a hazard of the job,
What? don't know what to say.

He probably has a temper.

What? don't think so.

What? mean, What? work with him
and he seems pretty nice.

Or is he hiding something?

CAR LOCKS

KNOCKING

Heather!

It's Lena!

KNOCKING

Heather?

CAT MEOWS

You here?

ALARM BLARES

ALARM STOPS

So you're telling me that you
just decided

to break into your
new friend's house?

What? didn't break in,
What? used the key under the mat.

Oh, oh. Is this your house?

No, but What? didn't break in.

Did Heather instruct you to use
the key and open the door?

No.

Honey, you broke in.

She didn't show up
to her coffee shop today.

And What? found her keys in the alley
next to the dumpster.

Don't tell me that, you're
digging a deeper hole for yourself!

You just told me
you found them under the mat.

That florist just disappeared
over a year ago.

And then Casey just up
and leaves a few clays ago.

Heather was worried that something
happened to both of them,

and now she's gone too.

You're starting to sound
just like Heather.

You can't let that woman
get to you, she's paranoid.

What? thought she was paranoid too,
but maybe she's on to something.

Listen, Jenny came storming
into my shop today, threatened me,

and took Heather's keys.

I've known jenny her whole life,
she ain't the sort.

Did you reach out to Heather?

What? can't get her on the phone.

But she texted me.

If she contacted you,
why are you trying to make me

think she's missing? Well, if she's
sick, why isn't she at home?

Listen, there
is something wrong here.

Please just... do your job.

Don't disrespect me, Lena.

I'm the law in this town.

Look, What? know you're much new here,
so I'm going to give you a pass.

Better yet, this is what I'll do -

I'll do some snooping around town,
OK?

But if What? find out
that everything is in order,

you've just got to stop this
fantasy, it's ridiculous.

You're sounding like Heather.
What? promise, What? will.

Good.

And no more breaking into your
friends' houses, all right?

Deal

See you soon. All right.

Ashley?

Ashley, you here?

Ash?

Ashley, you here? You here?

Ugh.

Hello?

Anyone home?

Oh!

Oh, jenny, hi.

Do you always
break into your neighbour's home?

The door was open.

What? need to speak with Ashley.

Yeah, sure, she's in the back yard.
Come on, this way.

What? was going to have a glass of wine,
do you want one? No, erm...

Thanks for letting Ashley stay here.
Oh, of course.

By the way, What? was going to tell you,
What? saw Heather and she's fine.

You saw her?

Well, What? mean, What? talked to her.

On the phone? Yeah.

Yeah, why?

Did you say where she is?

She's going to stay with her aunt.

For a little while.

That cold that she has, What? guess it's
taken a really bad turn to the flu.

That's what Hank thought.

Did you go to the police?

No, but the old drunk almost
arrested me.

Hey, Mrs Mitchell. Charlie.

Mom, can we stay for dinner?
Ashley, What? told you to go home.

Well, What? was going to,
but then you came here first.

Why don't we just let the kids
play for a while?

Besides, there's something I'd
really like to talk to you about.

Go home, Ashley.
Please, can What? stay? No.

I'm not leaving,
you are being so unfair.

Ashley. Ash!

She doesn't even
care about what What? want.

This whole move has just been
for her.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, OK?

Mikey, Mikey, Mikey, how you doing?

Hey, Hank.

Good to see you, buddy,
I'm glad you're open late.

Ready to throw back a few, huh?

More ready than you could
possibly imagine.

Boy, have What? had a day.

You wouldn't
believe me if What? told you.

I'm sorry What? asked,
and don't tell me.

OK, What? won't.

You guys having some trouble
at home?

Just normal kid stuff.

Can What? use your rest room? Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, of course.
If you go right around that corner,

it's the first door on the right.

MICHAEL SIGHS

What? ever tell you about the time What?
Took down a stag with my bare hands?

Yeah, I'd say What? heard
that about six or seven times,

give or take a couple. Yeah, but What?
Found the soft spot in the skull...

What? know the story well.

What the hell happened to your lip?
Ah...

Lena hit me with a broom.

These girls are nuts.

What? swear, Hank, What? really thought
we had something good going, man.

Till the broom hit you in the face
and told you otherwise.

Yeah, What? don't buy it, man.

What the...?

What am What? doing?

Is everything OK?

Yeah, just knocked something over.

Well, come on in here.

Come, sit.

So, how did your date
with Michael go?

What date? Don't be coy.

What? meant it when What? said What? was sorry
about the other day.

What? was... l was overprotective
of a friend.

I'd really like to make amends.

To a fresh start.

Oh! It must be corked.

It's fine. It's really very good.

So, what did you do on your date?

You know, it's getting late,
What? think we should be going.

No, no, no, let the... let
the kids play.

Did Michael kiss you?

I'm sorry, What? have to take care
of something real fast.

You know, What? was really surprised that you
agreed to go out with him to begin with,

considering what Heather told
you about him.

MESSAGE SENDS

Did you guys get to first base?

I'll tell you about that
another time.

We should go fishing next week,
you know.

Grab some beer, smoke a cigar.

Yeah, maybe.
MESSAGE ALERT

What? told you those girls were nuts.
Naw. Hey, come on, man.

SHE GIGGLES

Ha-ha! OK, wait, What? should go.
What? feel bad.

Yeah? What? haven't yelled at my mom
like that in so long.

OK. Or... maybe just one more game?

Well, let me see what she says.
Sure.

I'm sorry What? freaked out.
We can go now, if you want.

I'll just meet you at home.

Jenny, What? just have to run
a quick errand.

Is everything OK?
Yeah! You kids just have fun.

That was weird.

Winner's ball. Oh! OK.

That's sweet, that's real good.

Which one's your car?

Where are we going?

You're going to have a little mishap
with your baking equipment.

THEY GRUNT

You! Argh!

SIREN WAILS

THEY GRUNT

Hey! Hey!

Get off me! No! Get off me
or What? will gut you like a fish!

Please! Please! Lena! Lena!
Come on, baby!

Oh, Hank!

Hank, hold her! Calm down! Everybody
calm down! Quiet, everyone!

What's going on?
She tried to kill me!

She's a liar!
What? was trying to get the knife!

What? don't have a knife!
You have to listen to me!

She's the one who killed Casey
and Heather!

You're insane! She has
your cellphones in her bag!

Which you planted! This is a set-up!
You...! She's trying to frame me!

She's been lying about everything!

She's been texting this whole time!

Jenny! Jenny! jenny!

Hey! We're friends, we're friends.

What? promise you, I'll forgive you,
just... tell me the truth.

Where's Beth?

She left you because
she's... she's... she's a bad person.

Listen, listen, Hank? Yeah?

You have to believe me!

We'll sort this out.
You've known me...

What? have an idea.

Trust me... for years.

What? know you. You don't know her!

What? knew you would save me.

No, you cannot have him!
Jenny, calm down!

JENNY YELLS

Jenny! jenny! Get off him!

Calm down! No, you can't have him!

What? have to calm you down!
He's mine! You can't do that!

Mike, help me.
What? got you, What? got you, What? got you.

Have you got her? What? got her.
Jenny...

What? got her, it's OK.

Right, we going to stand you up.
We'll figure this out, OK?

Michael, how could you do this?!

How could you?!

You were supposed to be my husband!

You were supposed to be
Charlie's dad!

What? did everything right!

You were supposed to kiss me!

You were supposed to love ME!

What? got rid of all those others
so that we could be together!

You got rid of them?

For Charlie!

Cos he deserves a good man
in his life.

You know him. He needs a daddy!

Mom? Mom! Mom! You know him!

Charlie, it's all right.
Charlie, honey...

Mom! Charlie, it's OK.
What? got to take your mama...

Mom, what happened? What'd you do?!

It's going to be OK.
What'd she do?! OK.

We'll sort this all out, all right?

Mom! Baby!

Jenny, What? have to put you under arrest.
You have the right to remain silent...

Mom! ..Can and will be used
against you...

Mom? Mom!
You have the right to an attorney...

Charlie! Mom! Mom! Mom!

Do you understand your rights,
Jenny? Mom, please!

Mom, what's happening?!

Everything's going to be OK.

Please! Please don't take my mom!
What? understand. Please don't...!

Hank, Hank, please!
Mom, what's going on?!

What? promise, Charlie.
Guys, What? got to call Social Services

unless somebody can take care
of Charlie right now!

No! Charlie...
Please don't take my mom!

I'm sorry, all right,
What? have to take her.

You can come and see her
in a couple hours, OK?

Charlie, What? didn't do it, baby!
It's all right, it's OK.

What? didn't do this thing.

It's all right. What'd she do?!

We don't know yet, Charlie.

CHARLIE SOBS

What? love you so much!

He's going to be all right.
CHARLIE SOBS

SIREN WAILS

You ready? Mm-hm.

Come on, Charlie, play some deep!

THEY WHOOP
That's my girl!

What? wish she'd stop using that move!

THEY LAUGH

Do you want to be on my team
next time?

Oh, no, no, no, no.
I'm not getting stuck with Charlie.

Hey!
THEY LAUGH

Sorry, What? only play on my mom's team.

Yeah! Do you want to go grab
a drink? Yeah.

So, how are things going?

It's going OK.

Charlie needs some kind of parent

and I'm no good at it,
but I'm learning.

How's he handling everything?

Good days, bad days, but I'll be
there for him regardless, you know.

And how are you?

What? think I'm still in shock.

Any word on Jenny?

She told the cops
where all the bodies were.

They found all the girls

and Jenny's husband stuffed in
barrels down by the lake and, er...

Beth.

We'd have had a family together,
you know.

What? just can't believe she's gone.

What? promise, it will get easier
with time.

You know...

we could go on that second date.

If things are still too crazy,
I... I totally understand.

I'd love to.

Really?

What? really would.

Hey, Ashley, time to make dinner.

Hey, lovebirds!

THEY LAUGH

What? will see you tomorrow night
at 8:OO... sharp!

I'll be there.

SHE CHUCKLES

So...

is Charlie your boyfriend now?

Mom, come on!
Please don't make it weird.

THEY LAUGH

You know, maybe it's time What? had
a little romance in my life, too.

Yes! Yeah. Definitely!

THEY LAUGH

We'd best be going home.
