Revenge for Daddy (2020) - full transcript

(slow dramatic music)
(sirens blaring)

- Hey, Bobby.

Yeah, I gave a report
when I was at urgent care,

and I gave the officer
Michael's gym ID,

it was right next to
the fire extinguisher.

(laughs) Yeah.

Slight concussion
but he'll be okay.

Anyway, it's been a long day.

Check in with you
tomorrow, okay, bye.

(intense dramatic music)

(gasping)



Help, please!

Stop, please! (crying)

No, no!

No, don't, please!

Help!

(group cheering)

- [Man] Come on, girl.

- Come on, Lisa!

Come on, you rock.
- Go, Lisa.

(group cheering)
(slow dramatic music)

- Yeah!

Woo!

- Sorry.

- No you're not.



Take.

- Tension on.
- Ready to lower.

- [Man] Lowering.

- [Bobby] Next time.

- Bobby, you suck.

Let's go, Lisa.
- Tension on?

(slow dramatic music)

(Lisa gasps)
- [Abby] Lisa!

Oh my god!

- You okay?

- Thanks.

- Uh, so that coulda killed you.

- What?

Maybe I woulda
been a little hurt.

- A lot hurt,
that's really high.

- You wanna know
what really hurts?

Is that it was
Bethany who saved me.

- (groans) That still does not
make up what she did to you.

- Yeah.

You know what?

Forget Bobby.

I need to let it go.

- Well, you're still
kickin' his butt

every time he challenges
you on the wall.

- (laughs) Yeah, that's
'cause it's so fun.

Is that bad?
- No, it's awesome.

In addition to all
the Bobby drama,

you had your dad to
deal with this year.

It's been rough for you.

- Yeah.

Maybe I need something new.

- Well, you could
start dating again.

- Dating?

I was thinking about training
for the 10k or something.

Come on, you know me,
how I drive guys away.

- Well maybe if you
didn't out climb them.

And outrun them, out work them.

- Are you saying I should
lose to guys more often?

- Yes!

The cute ones.

You can't be everybody
at everything.

- Well you beat me in that
spelling bee that one time.

- Oh, in junior high.

And I'm pretty sure you
still don't know how

to spell handkerchief.

- Who puts a D in handkerchief?

- (laughs) Do you see what
I have to put up with?

- All right, let's go.
- Okay.

(soft lighthearted music)

(ducks quacking)

- Yeah, so then Tolyn's
wife goes overboard.

- Like she faked her own death?

- Yeah.

- (gasps) See, this is why
I'm never getting married.

(upbeat rock music)

(people chattering)

- [Lisa] Oh, okay.

- Okay. (laughs)
- Okay.

- Now it doesn't?
- No, it doesn't.

- Let's go.

- Stop it.

Back of the room, come on.

- [Group] Surprise!

- Wow. (laughs)

- Happy birthday, baby.

- Oh, thanks, Mom.

I'm so glad you're here.

- I wouldn't miss
it for the world,

now get in here and let's party.

- You guys. (laughs)

You know it's not my birthday
until tomorrow. (laughs)

- Well that's why
it's a surprise.

- Happy birthday, Lisa.

- (laughs) Thanks, Ray.

Thank you. (laughs)
- Happy birthday.

I was gonna give
you the day off,

but instead I got you
an expensive gift.

You can use it on
your next day off.

- Ooh.

Expensive gift.

Who needs a day off?

- (laughs) You need rock
climbing shoes, right?

- I told him.
- Are you kidding?

Yes, I do!

- Hey, I know you, come on.

- That is really
thoughtful of you.

- Wow, bossman's a giver.

- Is he?

I mean, I'm still
waiting on that raise.

- Okay, I think I need a drink.

(group laughing)

- Hey, babe.

Did you ever call that nice
guy Jerry I met at the market?

- Mom!

- What, you never know.

- You can't push
these things. (laughs)

- Well, yeah, I try.

- Also, I don't really think
Lisa's looking for a nice guy.

- What?

- More into the bad boy type?

- You know, Lisa, you try
looking online for a guy.

That's where I met Ray.

- True.

Now they're married, they
have two beautiful kids.

- I have to admit I am jealous.

- (laughs) Aren't you nice?

- You do have to be careful
with online dating though.

You never know what
you're gonna get.

- Yeah, but Abby, you're
always so cautious.

There are lots of
nice guys online.

- Well that definitely
would've been a better place

for you to find your
boyfriend, don't you think?

(laughs)

(upbeat rock music)

- Did you really just say that?

- Sorry.
- Abby, you're too much.

- Sorry.

I'm just a little mad
about what she did to you.

- I thought it was damn funny.

And true.
- Thank you.

- That's my girl.
- Thank you.

And I don't mean to
discourage online dating.

- Well that's good because
I just accepted a free trial

on this site.
- Yes!

See, get some hot guys to
take you out for dinner

and it'll be fun.

- Or there's always
Jerry from the market.

- Okay, okay.

Can we stop talking
about guys now?

- Oh, it's not that bad.

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday, dear Lisa ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

- Easy going guy.

A winning smile to compliment
my six-pack abs. (laughs)

Yeah.

Easy going is easy to lose.

Wow.

Mr. Wonderful.

First name Michael, age 31.

Wants kids definitely.

Right. (laughs)

Completely perfect. (sighs)

(slow soft music)

(laughs)
(camera clicks)

See, everyone?

I found Mr. Wonderful.
(phone ringing)

Oh.

Hey, Mom.

I was just thinking about ya.

- Hi, babe.

Did you enjoy your party?

- It was great.

I cannot believe you
guys kept that secret.

- I know.

As much as we all talk,

I'm surprised no one
spilled the beans.

- I know, I don't know
how you did it. (laughs)

- (laughs) I don't know either.

(sighs) Hey.

Are you okay with everything?

I'm worried about you.

- Yeah, I'm okay.

I worry about you, too.

Next week it's gonna be a year.

- It's so hard.

Until they find the
driver, you know?

It's just a senseless death.

It's just still such
a nightmare for me.

- I know.

Me, too.

(laughs)

It's empty without Dad.

- You know what though?

I feel like getting out
tonight was really good for me.

I'm gonna try to
do it more often.

I promise.

I mean, how else am I gonna
find you a man? (laughs)

- (laughs) That's seriously
the only thing you care about.

- (laughs) Is that so bad?

- (sighs) Well what if I
told you I met someone?

- What?

Where, when, tell me everything.

- Well let's just say
he's Mr. Wonderful,

and I'll send you
a picture tomorrow.

- I can't wait.

- Well, it's gettin' late, Mom.

I'm gonna get to bed.

- I know, me, too.

I love you, baby.

- I love you, too.

Goodnight.
- Goodnight.

(phones beep)

(sighs)

(slow dramatic music)

(car engine starting)

- No, no.

No, no.

No!

(tires screeching)

No.

No.

(tires screeching)

No.

No! (gasps)

(slow dramatic music)

- Hey, birthday girl.

Who's that?

What a hottie.

Mr. Wonderful?

- Yeah, it's nothing.

- Yeah, sure.

I'll be right back.

I just have to drop these off,

but I can't wait
to hear about him.

- Wait, what?

Who is that, who is it?

I wanna see.

- It's not what you think.
- Come on.

- (laughs) Okay.

All right, fine.

Check him out.

I'm gonna post it in the
group chat right now.

- My.

He is cute.

(soft dramatic music)

(computer mouse clicking)

- Um, why have you
been holding out on me?

- What do you mean?

- Uh, Mr. Wonderful?

That, that, that's what I mean.

- You like him?
- Uh, yeah.

What's not to like?

He's very hot.
(Lisa laughs)

- [Bethany] Admin mode, Lisa.

Access computer, yes.

- So?

Spill.

- He's just a guy from online.

- How long have you
been seeing him?

- I'm not.

It's just for Mom.

- [Bethany] I'm in.

Lisa, (laughs)

shouldn't leave apps open.

Found my Mr. Wonderful.

Though I think we can
find a better picture.

Image, replace.

Mr. Wonderful.

Are in a relationship.

Aww.

(laughs)
(soft dramatic music)

- So, where'd you
meet this stud?

- Oh, calm down ladies. (laughs)

He's just some random guy
from an online dating site.

- So you have not
gone out with him?

- No.

I just photoshopped a
couple pictures of us

and I'm gonna send
them to my mom

so she doesn't worry
about my love life.

- Well, you should date him.

He's gorgeous.
- Mm hm.

- Let's see his profile.

- Guys, I have work to do.

- Okay, but you two did
look pretty good together.

- That's what I thought.

- Ah!

I knew it!

You do like him!
- Stop it!

(laughs) You're so relentless.

- You love it.

(slow soft music)

(computer beeps)

- [Michael] (laughs) Peep Look
has detected a posting image

from Lisa Clark, view image.

I found my Mr. Wonderful.

(laughs)

- Can we talk?

- Oh, I have a meeting.

- I shouldn't have
been there last night.

- Bethany,

look, we need to
bury the hatchet.

We work together.

- I'm so sorry for
being the other woman

between you and Bobby.

- (laughs) Look, I wish
you luck with Bobby.

You know he had cheated
before you, right?

- Yeah, yeah, he
did tell me that.

- I need to move on.

It's for the best.

- [Michael] Well, Lisa's cute.

In a relationship.

How about work?

Extreme Tours & Excursions.

- You're a good person.

I hope one day I
can make up for it.

- Well, just keep
your eye on him.

Don't worry about me. (laughs)

- Well, thank you.

- Don't thank me yet.

You're gonna have
your hands full.

- I've been through tougher
than Bobby. (laughs)

(Lisa chuckles)

- [Michael] How about places?

Conquered a new climb.

Someone's in shape.

Boulderdash?

- Um, anyway, look, I
still feel terrible.

So if there's anything
I can do, let me know.

- K.

- Ready?
- Yeah.

A couple more things
together and, yeah.

- Also, I just saw
that you got a new guy.

He seems pretty cool,
where'd you meet him?

(Lisa sighs)

- (laughs) There's no new guy.

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

- Really?

I just saw it posted
on your Peep Look page.

- What?

- No, I didn't post anything.

- Uh, it's there.

Take a look.

- [Lisa] Oh, my god. (laughs)

- It's front and center.

- I didn't post that.

I don't know how
that got up there.

- You seem to be
quite the hot item.

- Hot item, huh? (laughs)
- Yeah.

- It's not what it looks like.

- Okay, well, I mean, I'm
happy for you, Lisa, congrats.

(laughs)

- Thanks, Ethan.
- Yeah.

Let's go to the meeting.

Come on.
- Okay, uh.

Wait. (laughs)

Okay.

- [Michael] Running at the lake.

That's my favorite place to run.

(laughs)

(deep bass booms)

- Oh, I thought
your mom posted it?

- Yeah, you'd think, huh?

But it came from my
account so, I don't know,

maybe I did it on
accident, or I got hacked?

- Ew, that is so weird.

You definitely need to
change your password.

- Yeah.

I'm gonna take it down and
change my password tonight.

Anyway, hope you're ready.

- Wait, that's not fair!

(groans)

(slow dramatic music)

(women laughing)

Come on, loser.

No such thing as second place.

(Lisa laughs)

- Pretty good.

(Abby laughs)
(slow dramatic music)

(crickets chirping)

(slow soft music)
(keyboard clicking)

79 likes.

Not bad, Mr. Wonderful.

Too bad we're breaking up.

Yup.

(people chattering)

(soft romantic music)

(people chattering)

(Michael clears throat)

- Oh my god, it is you. (laughs)

I'm so sorry.

I can't believe
you're here. (laughs)

So you saw that picture?

- Yeah.
- How?

- The social media app
has facial recognition.

Wanted me to tag myself.

- With your new
girlfriend. (laughs)

- Apparently so.

Seems like my love life's
finally picking up.

- And it seems that I've
found Mr. Wonderful.

- Mr. Wonderful,
my online identity.

So that's how this all started.

- So how did you find me here?

- [Bobby] Hey, Lisa.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Is this guy bothering you?

- No, he's fine.

I'm fine.

Thanks.

- Okay.

- Bodyguard?

- (laughs) Ex.

- Ah.
- Sorry.

So, can I buy you a juice
or a tea or something?

Make up for my cyber-stalking?

- Sure.

Sounds good.
(Lisa laughs)

(slow soft music)

Oh, thank you.

- Hope you like chamomile.

It's my favorite.

- Oh, mine, too.

- Mm. (laughs)

So, how did you find me here?

- Oh, you mean the internet?

(Lisa laughs)

I mean, it wasn't too hard after
I found out your real name.

I found your workplace and,
well, your gym. (laughs)

- Wow.

It is crazy how there's
no anonymity anymore, huh?

- I know, right?

Oh, I'm Michael.

Michael Patterson.

- Lisa, as you know. (laughs)

Lisa Clark.

- Ah, so, Lisa,

do you care to tell me
how I became a celebrity

to your Peep Look page?

- Oh.

I'm so sorry about that.

I've taken it down,
just so you know.

Sort of a long,
embarrassing story. (laughs)

- Well, I came down here to hear

a very long, embarrassing story.

(Lisa laughs)

Go ahead.

- Uh, okay.

Well, not to throw
my mom under the bus,

but she's been so full
of anxiety recently

about my personal life
that I decided to tell her

that I have a boyfriend so
she'll stop worrying about me.

- Well, it's nice that you
care about your mom so much.

- Yeah.

And, I saw your picture
on that dating site

and I thought you
were a good candidate

for a fake boyfriend. (laughs)

And a little bit
of Photoshop later

and I had a picture
to send to my mom

of her happy daughter
and her new beau.

- Oh, sounds like
you did a good deed.

- (laughs) The only problem
is it went public on Peep Look

and I'm still not really
sure how that happened.

- Well, my mom has posted
some unapproved items as well.

I mean, parents forever
embarrassing us, right?

- (laughs) It seems
that way, doesn't it?

- Yes.

Well, I'm sorry
to come down here

and put you on the
spot like this.

I just uh, you know, I
just wanted to make sure

that I wasn't being
stalked or used.

But, you are very nice and
a very beautiful woman.

- Oh, thank you. (laughs)

Um, so, Michael, I uh,

I actually have to get going.

- Oh, yeah.

Me, too.

- It's nice to meet you.

- Say, uh, why don't
we get together

and do something this weekend?

- Um,

you know, I'm not really
looking for something right now.

- Okay, I know it sounds
a little bit weird but,

I mean, you gotta admit,
there's something here.

- Yeah, maybe there is. (laughs)

- Okay.

Great.

So, I mean, we can just hang out

or do whatever you want.

It's your call.

- Okay.

Mr. Wonderful.

You're on.
- Great.

(slow soft music)

- A gift basket?

Well what does the card say?

Wait, so when he found out,
he wasn't pissed or anything?

- No.

He was totally cool with it.

- Oh, wow.
(Lisa laughs)

- And then he asked me out.

- (laughs) And now
I've heard it all.

- I know, it's weird, right?

- I mean, it's insanely
romantic weird.

But look, Lisa, we still
don't know this guy.

You might wanna check
him out just to be safe.

- Abby, he's a total gentleman.

Plus, he's totally charming.

- And he's handsome as hell.

Okay, but still.

Look, Bobby's a cop,
he owes you one.

Why don't you have
him check him out?

- Oh, yeah.

He already did.
- What?

- Yeah.

It was at the gym. (laughs)

Gave Michael a once-over.
(Abby wretches)

- Typical.

Why don't you just have
him run a background check?

- Yeah, maybe you're right.

- It's the least he could do

after what happened
with Bethany.

- Yeah, but every time
I try to talk to Bobby

he gets really weird.

- Because he wants to get
back together with you.

- Don't tell Bethany that.

- Ah, she deserves it.

Look, she broke the code.

You never go after
a friend's man.

It's pretty simple.

- Yeah, but it's just
as much on Bobby.

Plus I'm trying to
move past all this.

I think this is a
good place to start.

(Abby groans)

- It's probably a good idea.

- By the way, I told Michael
I'd see him this weekend.

I was thinking of
taking him running.

- Oh boy.
(Lisa giggles)

Are you sure that's a good idea?

Look, you're gonna beat
another man at another sport?

And who goes running
on a first date?

- A first date?

Jealous.
- Oh my god.

There is no secrets around here.

- That is why this is such
a great place to work.

- [Lisa] Right.

- Sorry.
- Thanks.

(lighthearted music)

So, this is one of my
favorite places to run.

- [Michael] It's
gorgeous up here.

- Yeah.

All right, I'm gonna
pick it up a little bit.

First one to the bridge.

Don't be mad when I
win though. (laughs)

- We'll see about that.
(Lisa laughs)

(lighthearted music)

(Lisa panting and laughing)

(Michael panting)

(Michael laughs)

I almost called an
Uber to look for you.

(Lisa laughs)

- Wow. (sighs)

- You okay?

- (panting) That
doesn't happen often.

- [Michael] What?

You getting
obliterated in a race?

- Obliterated? (laughs)

I was a couple
seconds behind you.

- Well, one minute
and 19 seconds but

not that anyone's counting.

- (laughs) Right, not
that anyone's counting.

(Michael laughs)
Wow.

Good for you.

- You know, you almost
seem happy that you lost.

- You know, to be
perfectly honest, I am.

- Well, you're a good sport.
(Lisa laughs)

- I'll take that
compliment. (laughs)

- Shall we?
- Yeah. (sighs)

Let's go.

- [Michael] Race
you back? (laughs)

(Lisa laughs)

- [Lisa] That was pretty cool.

- [Abby] Hey, Lis,
how was your date?

- So, I went running
with him today.

- And did you scare him away
with your world-class speed?

- (laughs) I tried, but
he beat me by a lot.

- Oh.

That's, that's
different for you.

- Yeah.

I kinda liked it.
(Abby laughs)

- Uh oh.
- I know.

I even told him I'd meet
him for a drink tonight.

- Okay, Lisa, we
don't know this guy.

Remember, we're gonna go slow?

- I know, I hear ya.

So my place in the
morning, right?

- Yup, my turn to drive.

Have tonight, okay?

- Thanks, Abs.

(phone beeps)

(slow bluesy music)

Yeah, I was actually a bit of
a track star in high school.

- Wow.

So that's the first time a
guy's beaten you in a race?

- It's not the first time.

But it's been a while. (laughs)

- Oh, god, that's not good.
(Lisa laughs)

But I'm still here, so.

What's up?

- It can be a problem though.

You know, guys
getting intimidated

by a certain kind of woman.

- Well, I guess I'll
need to up my game then.

- Your game's just fine.

- So is yours.

(Lisa laughs)

(slow bluesy music)
(people chattering)

Uh, if you'll excuse me, I
have to use the restroom.

You'll be okay?

- Of course, sure.

I'll get this one.
- Oh, no, please, let me.

- No way.

To the victor goes the spoils.

- (sighs) Fair.

Okay, but I'm getting
the next round.

Okay.

(slow bluesy music)
(people chattering)

- Hey.

I saw you with Lisa.

She is a hottie.

I know first-hand, she
used to be my girlfriend,

but she's a first-class tease.

You should quit now,
you're not gonna get any.

- Excuse me.

- Hey, I said you're
not gonna get any

so you should just give it up.

- Look, I'm just trying
to have a nice night

out with a friend, okay?

That's all.

- You should leave,
forget about her.

She's my trouble, not yours.

- I don't think she's anyone's.

- Are you gonna push
this issue with me?

'Cause I'll kick
your ass if you do.

- What's going on, man,
you got a problem with me?

- I don't know, Buddy, do I?

- You know, I'm gonna go

and you should probably
get some coffee in you.

- [Bobby] Hey, don't
walk away from me.

(Bobby groans)
(intense dramatic music)

(kicks thudding)

(Michael sighs)

- Hey, is everything okay?

- Uh, you know what,
I'll be right back.

Hey.

Excuse me.

There was an altercation
outside of the restroom.

I hit a guy and he
went down pretty hard.

I think he's knocked out.

Um, here's my business card.

I just uh, I don't
want any trouble.

- Hey!

You the one who clocked Bobby?

- Uh, yeah, I was just explaining
that to the bar manager.

You a friend of his?
- Yup.

- Ah, well, I'm sorry but
he took a swing at me first.

- So he started it?

- Yeah, he was starting to
talk trash about my date, Lisa.

- His ex, Lisa?

- You know about that?
- Uh huh.

- Well, uh, he
didn't like my reply

so he took a swing at me, I
ducked, and, well, hit him back.

He went down pretty hard.

Is he gonna be okay?
- He's fine.

He's had a bit too
much to drink tonight.

- Well, are you a cop?

- Detective.

Mind if I take this card?

- Please, by all means.
- Thanks.

- [Lisa] Oh my gosh, what
happened to your hand?

- Uh. (sighs)

Bobby took a swing at me
outside of the restroom.

- (sighs) Oh my god.

Are you okay?
- Yeah.

I mean, he missed, I didn't.

- I'm so sorry,
he drinks so much,

and then he does stupid things.

Hi, are you with Bobby?

- Detective Liz Willis.
- Nice to meet you.

Is Michael in trouble?

- No, but I think you two
should call it a night

while we stay here
and sober Bobby up.

- Yeah.

Sounds good to me. (laughs)

- That's a good idea.

Uh, thank you, Detective.

Goodnight.

- You, too.

(soft dramatic music)
(people chattering)

- You know, there's something
I just don't get about you.

- [Lisa] What's that?

- I mean, so far
you're pretty amazing.

So how come you haven't
had a relationship since,

what's his name?

- A list of reasons.

- A list?

- Yeah. (laughs)

Maybe I'm not so
amazing. (laughs)

Anyway, it wasn't just Bobby.

- You know, I'm sorry
I hit him tonight.

- (laughs) Don't be.

I've wanted to hit him
so many times. (laughs)

- So what happened
between you two?

- Well, he thought
I wouldn't mind

if he slept with other women
every time he got drunk.

- Ah, and I'm going to
say that he was wrong.

- Yes, very wrong.

- I'm sorry to hear that.

- Bobby's a good cop,
he's not a good boyfriend.

So, what about you?

Any recent relationships?

- No, none recent.

But I sure have had my share
of failed relationships.

- Oh.

So where'd you grow up?

- All over the place, actually.

- Really?

Were your parents
in the military?

- Nothing cool like that.

I, uh, I was adopted.

So I got shuffled around a lot.

- That must've been hard.

- Yeah, well it's in the past.

- So do you know
your real parents?

- Barely.

My dad was a drug
addict, and my mom, well,

she was a loser.

- I'm so sorry.
- Don't be.

I'm not them.

Besides, I always say

if you live in the past
you'll be depressed

and if you live in the
future, you'll be anxious.

- Right, so live in the present.

It's a gift and that's why
they call it the present.

- Ow, that is a good one.

May I say that this
present is outstanding?

(crickets chirping)

Here.

To you and to me.

May all our time
together be this amazing.

- Well,

I don't know about
that. (laughs)

- You know, Lisa,

I mean, I find you stunning.

- (sighs) You're
moving kinda fast.

- I'm sorry.

I mean, if you don't
feel the same way, I, I...

- I didn't say that.

(slow soft music)
(crickets chirping)

- Well, good.

Because I really like you and

that hasn't happened
for me in a long time.

- Me, too.

(both giggle)

I mean, I kinda like you, too.

(Lisa laughs)
- Kinda.

(slow soft music)
(crickets chirping)

- Hey, Nina.

- Hey.
- You joining us tonight

for a drink?

- Yes, I am.

Looks like everyone's
at happy hour already.

- Yeah.

It's just you and me.

It's kinda creepy around
here when it's just us.

- Uh, yeah, I guess.

But at least we have
each other, right?

- Yeah, we do.

I have to finish up
some work before I go.

- Yeah, me, too.

I'm just wrapping something
up and then I'm outta here.

- What are you working on?

- Uh, just my true crime stuff.

I'm still looking into
Lisa's father's hit and run.

- How's that going?

- I don't know.

I've never actually
solved a case before.

So, I mean, all things
considered, okay.

- Well, you'll solve one soon.

I'm sure of it.

- Maybe.

I'm still lacking
a few big details.

It's just difficult to
get all the information

when it's my hobby.

You know?

Sometimes I wish I was a cop,

so I could see all
the big databases.

- You're funny, Nina. (laughs)

It's after hours, we have
friends waiting for us at a bar,

and you're researching
unsolved crimes.

- I know, I'm a crime nerd.

- Yeah, that you are, Nina.

Well, I'm gonna wrap a
few things and get going.

- Me, too.

I'm just waiting for a reporter

to send me a file on the
case and then I'll head out.

(computer chimes)
Oh, there it is.

Okay, I'm just gonna
take a quick look at this

and then I'm outta here.

(soft dramatic music)

(mouse clicks)
(computer beeps)

(mouse clicking)

Man killed in hit and run.

Only suspect in
possible murder-suicide.

Michael Patterson?

That's Lisa's guy.

- [Bethany] Admin, Nina.

Access, yes.

(computer beeps)

Hmm.

Chicago man questioned
in wife's death.

That's so wonderful after all.

(mouse clicks)

(computer chimes)

(mouse clicks)
(computer chimes)

(Nina heavily breathing)

(slow suspenseful music)

- Hey, Nina.

You okay?

- Uh, yeah. (laughs)

I'm fine, I just have to run.

Bye, Bethany, I'll
see you at the bar.

- Bye, Nina.

Be safe.

(slow suspenseful music)

(mouse clicking)

(people chattering)
(upbeat music)

- My specialty is search
engine optimization.

I'd be happy to take
a look at if for you.

- How much would
something like that cost?

- Ah, I'd do it for free.

It wouldn't take very long.

- What?

- That would be
incredible, Michael.

Bethany does all of our IT

and SEO is not
really her strength.

- Not a problem.

I'll take a look at it.

- Uh, Lisa, can I
talk to you later?

It's important.

- Okay.

Sounds serious.

- Uh, yeah.

- Hey.

We have some beers for the guys.

- Thank you.

- Ah, yes to beer.

- And champagne.
- Cheers.

- Thank you.

Hey.

That's great. (laughs)

- [Bethany] Cheers?

- [Ethan] Cheers.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

- Mm, this is a great song.

You have to dance with me.

- That's okay.

- Come on, it'll be fun.

- It's not really my thing.

- Nina's the dancer.

- Oh, okay, well,
Nina, you wanna dance?

- Uh, sure, if it's
okay with Lisa.

- Of course, go.

- Lisa, is it okay?
- It's okay. (laughs)

(upbeat rock music)

- Well he's great.

- I'll say.

- Yeah.
- Wow.

He is a good dancer.
(Lisa laughs)

- Amen.

I've got to be honest,

I'm feelin' a little
insecure over here.

- (laughs) Oh, come on,
Ethan, you're awesome.

- Not like that guy.

- (laughs) Wow, he
is a good dancer.

- He is.

They look good together.

Lisa, don't you think?

(upbeat rock music)

- [Abby] Oh, wow. (gasps)

- Um, getting (laughs) a
little too close for comfort.

Okay, sorry.

Geez.

Ethan, come on, let's dance.

- You would never ask.
- Of course, let's go.

- [Ethan] Yes.

- Hey.

Forget her.

- Oh, it's not Bethany.

- Wait, are you jealous of Nina?

- Oh, I hate feeling like this.

- Okay, look, when you really
like someone, it's normal.

- Who says I really like him?

- Your face.

Lights up like a Christmas
tree every time you see him.

- Is it that obvious?
- Yeah.

- (laughs) I don't know,

I think I'm gonna go
back to being lonely.

- [Abby] Oh, come on.

(upbeat rock music)

(Lisa sighs)

What's wrong?

- Uh, I just got
a little headache.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, fine.

I think it's just too much wine.

- Did you want me
to take you home?

- No, I'm fine.

- Okay.

- Wow.
- Oh.

Hey, Lisa, your guy
can really dance.

(Lisa laughs)

- (sighs) You miss me?
- Oh, I'm sorry,

I'm just a little
lightheaded from the dancing.

- Lord, Nina, what's going on?

- Uh, nothing, sorry.

- What are you doing?

- Um, nothing.

- Lisa?

- Are you all right?

- Uh.

No, I'm fine.

I'm sorry, guys, I'm sorry.

I'll be right back, sorry.

- It was.

Is she leaving?

(upbeat rock music)

- (sighs) That was fun.

Okay, um, can I
get another drink?

- I'm down.

This round's on me.

Who wants one?
- I am good.

- Same here.

- Thanks, I'm fine.

Is she gonna be okay?

- I hope so.

(people laughing)
(music warping)

- [Bethany] Come here, Lisa.

Shots are on me.

(group laughing)

Lisa.

(phone buzzing)

- [Lisa] Hey, it's Lisa,
you know what to do.

(voicemail beeps)

- Hello, where are you?

You're like super late.

Cocktail flu get ya?

Call me back. (sighs)

(soft suspenseful music)

(phone ringing)

- Nina.

(soft suspenseful music)

Nina.

Wake up.

Nina, what's wrong?

(intense dramatic music)

Help!

(Lisa crying)

Help!

Help!

(Music)

(police radio chattering)

- Hello, Miss Clark.

Can you tell us
what happened here?

- Um, I woke up with
Nina's phone buzzing.

I'd been out cold.

And, uh, my head was splitting

and I then felt this
bump on my head.

- So you're telling
us you have no idea

how your murdered friend
was lying next to you.

(slow dramatic music)

- [Bethany] Hey,
where's Lisa and Nina?

- I have no idea.

I left messages
for both of them.

- Strange.

- Wait, did you take either
of them home last night?

- No, not me.

I was feeling a little
loopy so I called an Uber.

- Yeah, definitely got a
little crazy last night.

- (laughs) Yeah, I
can't quite remember

all of what happened.
- Same here, it's so strange.

- Hey, listen up.

I need a moment.

God, I can't believe this.

- What's wrong?

- Nina.

- What?

- She's dead.

I just got off the
phone with police.

They were attacked
outside the bar,

and Lisa's hurt, too.

(Abby sighs)

(slow dramatic music)

- Wow, that is a nice
size bump on your head.

- I'm still pretty out of it.

- [Michael] Do the cops
know what happened?

- They just said that
I was lucky to be alive

and that Nina was in a
struggle before she was killed.

- Do they know who with?

- No.

And I can't remember.

- Wait, you don't remember
what you did last night?

- No, what do you mean?

- You were doing
shots with Bethany

and then you got into a
heated argument with Nina.

- I argued with Nina?

- Yeah, I mean you were
pretty worked up about it.

Maybe I shouldn't have
been dancing with Nina.

I...
- Excuse me.

I need to speak with
Lisa for a moment.

- Uh, yeah.

Of course.

I'll be right over here.

- Okay.

- You are the key
witness in this case,

and you are also
our main suspect.

You understand?

- No.

I really don't.

What, it sounds like
you think I did this.

- I'm just being
transparent with you, Lisa.

Once we process the evidence,
dust for fingerprints,

and run toxicology and DNA,

we'll get a clearer picture.

- Okay.

(soft suspenseful music)

- [Lisa] Hey, Mom.

- [Barbara] There you are.

- [Lisa] (laughs)
What's for breakfast?

I'm starving.

- Well that's a good sign.

You feeling better?

- Physically, yeah.

Was dreamin' about
Nina all night.

- Yeah, that's understandable.

Listen, I got eggs
and there's fruit.

Come on.

- Oh, thanks.

I think I might go
into work today.

- Yeah?

So soon?

I mean, you sure?

- Yeah.

I just feel like
it would be good

to do something
that feels normal,

like sitting around
the house all day,

watching TV isn't normal for me.

- All right.

Well, I mean, I think
that'll be okay.

You know, get back
into your routines.

Be good for you.

- Yeah.

(doorbell rings)

I'll get it.

(slow soft music)

(handcuffs clicking)
(soft suspenseful music)

- Mom.

- Lisa.

- I'm sorry, I thought
it would be better

if she knew the
arresting officer

rather than have a stranger
put the cuffs on you.

- Bobby, I'll take
her from here.

I'm gonna bring her
by the precinct.

- Just let her know
where I am, okay?

It's gonna be okay, Mom.
- Let's go.

- Bobby, what happened?

What changed?

- Lisa's fingerprints
were on the murder weapon

that we found at
the crime scene.

- What?

- I'm sorry, Barbara.

(slow dramatic music)

- Are these really necessary?

- I don't know, are they?

- No.

(soft suspenseful music)

- Miss Clark, let's
just talk for a bit.

(soft suspenseful music)

- Do I need a lawyer?

- You tell me.

- I'm innocent.

- If you're innocent,
how did your fingerprints

end up on the knife?

- (laughs) Look, I
know it looks bad.

- Yes, it does look bad.

And then you're telling us
you have no recollection

of what happened.

Miss Clark, you need to
tell us what happened,

or you are going to jail.

- I'm trying to remember.

- The DA will consider
this an open and shut case.

Do you understand that?

- Yes, yes I understand
what it looks like,

but I didn't kill anybody.

- Miss Clark, we
hear that every day.

That's not a defense
when your fingerprints

are on the murder weapon.

- Oh, god, what am I gonna do?

- Miss Clark,

maybe you weren't
in the right mind?

You know, people with
drinking problems

do all sorts of crazy things.

- I don't have a
drinking problem.

I'm a social drinker, that's it.

- Social drinker who blacks out?

- I don't know if I blacked out,

I'm not sure exactly
what happened.

- Well, then maybe I can
refresh your memory for you.

You killed Nina with
a knife to the chest

after a heated
argument at the bar

in which everyone
was witness to.

And then, you were so
drunk you passed out

next to the body, and here,

we confiscated the butcher block

with the missing knife
from your kitchen.

Murder weapon is a perfect
match with that missing knife.

Miss Clark,

what do you have to
say for yourself?

- No.

No, no.

I didn't kill Nina.

I didn't do it.

Okay?

She was my friend.

Nina was my friend.

- Most murders are committed

by someone who knows the victim.

- Well that's not the case.

I didn't kill Nina,
so stop pushing me

to say that I did.

I may not remember what
happened that night, okay?

But I know who I am,

and I know what I
could and couldn't do.

- Show us your arm.

- Why?

- The medical report said you
have scratches on your arm.

We'd like to see
those scratches.

- (laughs) I don't
see how that's...

- Show us.

(slow dramatic music)

Pull up your sleeve.

Let's see it.

- It's not what it
looks like, all right?

- Hey.

What do you say we just
take this nice and easy?

Okay, Lisa?

Just tell us the truth
about what happened

the night Nina died.

Unburden yourself,

and we will tell the DA
that you cooperated with us

and things will go
smoother for you.

(sighs)

- Detective, you
have it all wrong.

I didn't kill Nina.

I didn't hurt her.

(slow dramatic music)

I didn't do it.

- [Abby] How are
you feeling today?

- It just feels
good to be outside.

- I'm glad you're finally home.

- Yeah, took a while.

Thanks again for the
help with the courts.

And the bail.

- And that fancy new ankle
bracelet I got to buy you.

(Lisa groans)

- So what's the deal
with that thing?

Are you allowed to go anywhere?

- Oh, I have a small
radius I'm confined to.

My house, mom's, work.

- My place?

- Yes.

And our running trail.

- Well that's not terrible.

Besides, it is a very
good look on you.

(Barbara laughs)

- Yeah, prison chic.

- Uh, so I talked to
Ray the other day.

He's having a pretty tough time.

- Ray?

- Nina's husband.

You met him.

- Right.

- I feel so awful.

I hope he doesn't blame
me for any of this.

- No, I don't think he does.

It's just all so confusing,
nobody seems to know anything.

- Maybe you should go see him.

- Yeah.

I think I will.

- Well I have some
groceries to unpack, so.

- What can I do?

- No, no.

You sit and relax.

I will help Abby.

(birds chirping)

(sighs)

(slow dramatic music)

(c)

- Hey, can I get
you another drink?

- Oh, yeah, but get me
something different.

The champagne tasted funny.

- Sure.

(slow suspenseful music)

- Oh.
- Hi, Lisa.

- Bethany. (laughs)

What are you doing here?

How'd you get in the backyard?

- Oh, I knocked at the front
door but no one answered.

I saw your car.
- Oh.

- [Bethany] So I came
around back. (laughs)

- Okay.

- I was so worried about you.

Are you okay?

- Um, I'm fine, yeah.

I just, I'm having a hard time
remembering what happened.

- Well, get some rest.

I'm around if you need anything.

(sighs) I'm sure
you'll remember.

- You know, it hard.

The police think
that I killed Nina.

They say it's an
open and shut case.

- Hey, baby, you need anything?

Oh, I didn't realize
you had company.

- Um, Bethany, from work.

She just stopped by.

- Oh, right.

You look so familiar.

Have we met before?

- At my party, Mom.

Remember.

- Yeah, I remember that,

but (stammers) no, I know that
I know you from somewhere.

Are you sure that we didn't
meet somewhere else before?

- Uh, no, no, not that I recall.

But, (laughs) I mean
you never know, right?

- It's killing me.

I'm gonna remember, I am.

I never forget a face.

- Lisa, I, I should run along
now, I have a couple errands,

before it gets late.

- Okay, well thanks
for stopping by.

- Okay, I'll see you at work.

Bye, Barbara.

- Bye, Bethany.
(slow dramatic music)

- [Liz] So help us
get this straight.

You've only know Lisa
for a week or so.

- Correct.

Yeah, we met sort of
through an online dating.

- How many dates did you have?

- Um, just the one
dinner at her house

and then the bar that evening.

Unless running counts as a date.

- So you really don't know
Miss Clark well enough

to say she didn't
commit this crime?

- Uh, well I guess you're right.

But I still think there's no way

that she could've done this.

- Is that your expert opinion?

- It's just my opinion.

- You got into an altercation
the previous night at the bar.

- Yes.

- Every time you're in that bar,

something bad seems to happen.

- What are you saying?

- Officer Bobby
Blake has bruising

on his ribs and stomach area.

You said you knocked
him out with one punch.

- I did.

Maybe he fell on his ribs.

- (chuckles) You lived in
Chicago before you came here.

- Yes.

- And it says you're married.

- Widowed.

Her name's Michelle.

- She committed
suicide two years ago.

- She struggled with
depression for years.

Okay, I came home
from work one day

and the police were there.

It was awful.

- I'm sure it was.

- Where are you going
with this, detective?

Do you have any evidence stating

that I've done something wrong?

- Only circumstantial.

You see, in the two nights
you've been in that bar,

you've been involved in
an assault and a murder.

- All right, I was not
involved in a murder,

and Bobby took a swing at me.

It was self-defense.

You know, I'm done
talking to you.

If you have anything
else to say,

you can call my lawyer.

(slow dramatic music)

- Yeah, so if you
could grab that for me,

that'd be great,
thanks. (laughs)

Hi, Ethan.

- Lisa, we are so
glad you're back.

- It feels really
good to be here.

- I'm just grateful that
you got out so quick.

God, I feel awful that I ended
up leaving early that night.

- Well don't.

Who coulda known?

- It's horrible that
they suspect you.

I mean, your fingerprints
on the knife?

You think somebody's
trying to frame you?

- I think I was drugged.

- Like a roofie?

- Yeah, I mean, I
don't know, (laughs)

I can't remember anything.

- Have you tried
backtracking your steps?

- Yeah, I'm doing that.

- Anyway, um, I still
need that cost breakdown

and an analysis on
the Kilimanjaro trip.

- Yeah, I'll get
that out right away.

- Thanks.

Also, you and Nina shared
some accounts, right?

Could you take those over?

- Yeah, sure.

I'd be happy to.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

Bethany will help you get
logged into her computer.

Thanks.

(sighs)

- Use the admin
override and voila,

you're signed in now.

Whatcha doin' here?

- I'm just taking over
some of the accounts.

- Oh, okay, well,

let me know if I can pick
up any of the workload.

- Oh, (laughs) that's okay.

I think you probably have
enough to do with the IT stuff,

and it shouldn't be tough.

- Okay.

(sighs)

(soft dramatic music)

(mouse clicking)

- Oh, wow.

- What's up?

- Oh, hey.
- Hi.

- I'm just retrieving
some of the accounts

and files from Nina's computer.

Did you know about her
crime story fascination?

- (laughs) A little bit.

Why?

- She has a huge amount of
material dedicated to it.

Here's one she highlighted.

- Teen's ID withheld
in murder charges

in death of mother's boyfriend.

Uh, that's uh, yeah,
that's a little disturbing.

- Yeah.

Hm.

Hit and run.

(phone ringing)

Oh my god.

- It's your dad's
hit and run article.

- I've never seen
this one before.

I'm gonna print these.

- I'm so sorry, Lisa,
I have to get back.

But please let me
know what you find,

if I can help you with anything.

- Okay.

Thanks, Abby.

(slow dramatic music)

(crickets chirping)

(doorbell rings)

Hey.
- Hi.

- Flowers?

(laughs) Aren't you sweet.

- Well, welcome back.

Ah, it smells great in here.

- It's Chicken Marbella.

Are you goin' somewhere?

- Oh, yeah, I'm gonna
check into a hotel tonight.

- Oh, a hotel?

What happened to your place?

- Oh, it's been so crazy,

I haven't had a
chance to tell you.

I sold my house.

You know, but the buyers

wanna accelerate
the move-in process

so we're fumigating this week

and will take
possession next week.

- Oh.

That's abrupt, I didn't even
know it was on the market.

- Yeah, I had mentioned it.

Anyway, I'm looking for a rental
over the next couple days,

but until then, it's
hotel living for me.

- Oh.

So, let me see if I
understand what's going on.

You're homeless?

- Yeah, that's one way
to look at it. (laughs)

- Well, I have a guest room.

- Oh, no, come here.

I wouldn't expect that of you.

(crickets chirping)

Hey, are you okay?

- Sorry, it's just
been a hard time.

Trying not to panic
about this investigation.

- Yeah, must be
really difficult.

- To say the least. (laughs)

And, you and I,

I think we might be
taking things too fast.

- Right.

Which is why I'm gonna
stay in the hotel tonight.

I know you have a lot going on.

- I'm just gonna put
these in a vase. (laughs)

- I love the candles.

So, what's cookin'?

- (laughs) Sorry,
that's just what my dad

used to ask my
mom, all the time.

What's cookin'? (laughs)

Anyway, I already told you.

- Oh, yeah, right.

Chicken.
- No, not just chicken.

Chicken Marbella. (laughs)

Oh my god, we sound like an
old married couple. (laughs)

- (laughs) We are not old.

- Funny.

Pump the brakes, Mr.
We're Not Married Either.

- It's not what I
meant, but, okay.

Hey, uh, you say your dad's
been gone over a year now.

What happened?

- I don't really wanna
talk about that right now.

- Hey.

- (gasps) Ow.

Hey, Nina, where are you going?

- Hey, Lisa?
- Yeah?

- Um, you know what, I
gotta get outta here.

I got a work thing
in the morning.

- Okay, see ya.

Whoa.
- Whoa, hey.

- [Lisa] Ow.

- You okay?

Oh, I'm sorry.

What's wrong, are you okay?

- Did you scratch me?

Did you, did you do this?

- I didn't do that.

- No, outside the Shanty.

I stumbled and
you caught me and,

but you scratched me.

- Yeah, but not really.

Not like how your arm is now.

- (laughs) You didn't
tell me about it.

- I didn't think it was
relevant to what was going on.

- I just got arrested for murder

for having these huge
scratches on my arms.

You don't think that's relevant?

- Okay.

Please, just calm down.

- I'm not about to calm down.

Don't you understand
I could go to jail

for the rest of
my life for this?

- Okay.
- Calm down?

- Hold on, Lisa, I'm sorry.

- Is there anything else you
wanna tell me about that night?

- No, and for the last time

I didn't gouge
your arm like that.

- How did you know

to come by the crime
scene the next morning?

- I called the office.

What the hell.

You don't think I had
something to do with Nina

and what happened?

- I don't know what to
think, I really don't.

- Okay, maybe you need
to take a step back

before you say something
you're about to regret.

- Bobby called me
today and he told me

that he thought you
kicked him in the ribs

after you knocked him out.

- Yeah, well, that
doesn't make me a killer.

Okay, I just got set off.

- Are you married?

- What?

No, you don't even
know the half.

No, not anymore.

- (laughs) And you didn't
tell me about that.

Do you get how shady
all of this is?

- Lisa, look, you
don't even know me.

Okay, you need to
give me a chance.

- Clearly I don't.

Clearly.

I think you need to leave.

- Fine.

Fine, Lisa.

Forget this.

You know what?

You're clueless anyway.

Okay, getting some half-truths
from some crazy ex-boyfriend

who's got a drinking problem,

who's dating one
of your friends.

I mean, like you have no issues.

- Go to hell.

- Yeah, nice.

You know what, don't forget
I don't know you either.

Okay?

And you're the one wearing
an ankle monitor bracelet

for murder.

- Get out.

(slow dramatic music)

(door closes)

(ducks quacking)
(slow soft music)

It's just killing me that I
can't remember everything.

- I'm aware of all this, Lisa.

- I know.

It's just really important to me

that you know that
I had nothing to do

with your wife's murder.

- I don't think
that for a second.

Nina loved you and she was
a good judge of character.

- Thank you.

You have no idea how
much that means to me.

Hey, uh,

I found these files
on Nina's computer.

It's my dad's hit and run case.

Do you know anything about it?

- Of course.

She was passionate about it.

The whole thing broke her heart.

I was just hoping
that the discovery

could bring you some closure.
- What do you mean?

- Nina was so excited,

she had never actually
solved a case before.

- These files
don't mention that.

- I figured she told you.

Isn't that why you called me?

- No, she never told me
that she solved the case.

- But she called me on the
way to the Shanty that night

to share the news with me.

- Oh my god.

Did it ever occur to you
that this could've been

why she was killed?

- No.

She never told anybody
what she was doing,

she barely even talked
about it with me.

I figured she told you because
it was your father's case.

- Ray,

does this mean you know
who killed my father?

- All she told me was
that she figured it out.

It was brief.

She didn't tell me
who did it or why.

And that was the last time
I ever talked to Nina.

(slow suspenseful music)

- Hey.
- Hey, thanks for meeting.

- Yeah, of course, Lis.

I'm really sorry about Michael.

Told you you can't trust anyone
you meet on the internet.

- Yeah, it's really disturbing.

Like, if he's lying about that

then what else is
he lying about?

- You never know, I
mean you just met him.

So you think going back to the
place where Nina was killed

will help jog your memory?

- I don't know,
but I have to try.

This is it.
- Right here?

You and Nina?

This is where it happened?

- [Lisa] Yup.

(music warping)
(voices echoing)

- [Nina] Lisa, help.

Lisa.

Help me.

No, no.

Lisa!

(dog barks)

- [Abby] Anything
coming back to you?

- Yeah, a little.

- It is so creepy knowing
that Nina died here.

(sirens blaring)

- Crap, come on.

- Lisa!

I know you're there, I've
been tracking you on my phone.

Who's with you?

- It's just me and Abby, sorry.

- What are you two
doing out here?

- Trying to remember
what happened.

- Any luck?

- Well, there's one thing for
sure, I was definitely drugged

because I've never felt like
this before from drinking.

- Well, you're right, toxicology
came back this afternoon.

You were drugged.

It was a sedative with
hallucinogenic properties.

- So that proves I'm innocent.

- Not exactly, but there is

one other thing I'd
like to check on.

Show me your hands again.

(soft dramatic music)

Clearly you haven't had
a manicure in a while.

- Not in a while.

- A long while.

- Well, your nails,
or lack thereof,

might be the best evidence you
have going for you right now.

- How's that?

- An acrylic nail was found
embedded in Nina's arm.

- [Bobby] Hey, Liz,
everything all right?

- Yeah, I'm just dealing
with Lisa and Abby.

I found 'em wandering
around out here.

Look, I have to run
and you do, too.

You are outside your
restricted area.

Violate it again,
you will regret it.

- What are you guys
doing out here?

- Looking for clues.

Trying to jog my memory.

- Just so you know, those
fingerprint matches,

I mean, it's the strangest thing

but I never believed any of it.

- Thanks, Bobby.

- You break up with
your boyfriend?

- Yeah, you wish.

- You said he was married.

He said I didn't
have the whole story.

So what didn't you tell me?

- His wife is dead, how's that?

- How'd she die?

- Suicide.

You know, I think he's
the one that did this.

- What?

Why would he kill Nina?

- He wants Lisa to live in fear.

It's easier to
control you that way.

- I doubt it.

- What about your girlfriend?

What do you know about her?

- What's that supposed to mean?

- Well, she was here
the night of the murder,

did you run a
background check on her?

- Did I?

No.

- How well do you
know Bethany anyway?

She moved her from Pennsylvania
like a year ago, right?

But with no family here,
isn't that kinda mysterious?

- Why, you jealous?

- Abby is right, you should
know who your girlfriend is.

- Girlfriend?

- Wow.

- [Lisa] Nice.

- Bobby?

What are you doing out here?

- Nothin'.

Coming.

Yeah, all right.

I'll check her out.

- I hate that guy.

- [Lisa] Hey, it's Lisa,
you know what to do.

(voicemail beeps)
- Hey, Lisa, it's Michael.

Um, listen, I
wanted to say sorry

for the things that
I said last night.

I said a lot of things
that I didn't mean and,

well, I'm sorry for that.

Uh, I was hoping maybe
we could grab some tea

and well, I could
apologize in person,

if you'd forgive me.

Anyways, uh, thanks.

(phone beeps)

(slow dramatic music)
(horn honks)

(phone chimes)

(slow dramatic music)

(phone ringing)

- Lisa.
- Hey, Ethan.

I'm sorry to call you so late.

- No problem, I'm leaving
a business dinner.

Workin' on that expansion.

- You're a driven man. (laughs)

Uh, hey, I have a big
favor to ask of you.

- Shoot.

- I need to swing by the office

and it can't wait till
after the weekend.

- You got the keys, go ahead.

- The thing is I
need to get something

off of Nina's computer and
I don't have the password.

- (sighs) It's at
the office somewhere.

I'll tell ya what,
it's on my way home.

I'll just meet you there.

- Right now?

Are you sure?

- It's important, right?

- It could be very
important, yeah.

- Okay, I'll see you in a bit.

- I adore you, thank you.

(phone beeps)

(suspenseful dramatic music)

(light switch clicking)

- That's weird.

Lisa, is that you?

Hello?

Is anybody there?

(suspenseful dramatic music)

(Ethan groans)

(suspenseful dramatic music)

- Ethan?

I'm here.

(suspenseful dramatic music)

(Ethan groans)

Oh, no.

(Ethan groans)

Ethan, oh my god.

Are you okay?

- My head.
- What happened?

- I don't know.

I heard a noise, I
was looking around,

and then bam, somebody
hit me with something.

- Looks like a
fire extinguisher.

Here, come on, let me get
you up and into a chair.

(Ethan groans)

Get you some ice.

(slow dramatic music)

Ethan, I feel awful.

Hey, come on, we gotta
get you to an urgent care.

- Okay, um, I think
I dropped my keys

by the fire extinguisher.

Would you mind
grabbing those for me?

- Yeah.
- Thank you.

(Ethan groans)
(slow suspenseful music)

- Hey, Bobby.

Yeah, I gave a report
when I was at urgent care.

I gave the officer
Michael's gym ID.

It was right next to
the fire extinguisher.

Yeah.

Slight concussion
but he'll be okay.

Anyway, it's been a long day.

Check in with you
tomorrow, okay, bye.

(keys rattling)
(intense dramatic music)

(Lisa gasps)

(Lisa panting)

No!

No, stop!

Please!
(tires screeching)

Help!

- Freeze, drop it!

(gun firing)

(slow dramatic music)

Are you okay?

(mouse clicking)

- Admin, yes.

Investigation into the
death of local man.

It's gotta be Lisa's dad.

Oh, god, this again?

(mouse clicking)

Recover files.

Yes.

Convicted murderer gets early
release for good behavior,

sentence cut in half.

Marie Dixon.

That's Bethany.

(intense dramatic music)

Lisa!

(pounding on door)

Lisa, I need to speak with you.

- [Abby] So wait,
who saved Lisa?

- The detective tracked her
from the urgent care facility,

because it was outside
of the restricted zone.

That GPS on that ankle
bracelet saved her life.

- That is so frightening.
- Yeah.

- I still can't believe

what a crazy person
he turned out to be.

- Morning. (laughs)

Hey, Ab.

- Well good morning.

Even though it's almost
five o'clock. (laughs)

- I'm glad you finally
got some rest, babe.

- Yeah.

I'm feeling better.

I saw a squad car out front.

- Oh, yeah.

We have police watching us 24/7.

- They're gonna get him, Lis.

He still doesn't know that
you found his ID card.

(Lisa laughs)

- [Michael] Lisa!

- Freeze, Patterson.

Unless you'd like to try
your luck with me again?

I'm in a better mind to
kick your ass this time.

(slow dramatic music)

(Michael sighs)

- I just can't stop wondering
why Micheal would kill Nina.

And does it have anything to
do with Dad's hit and run?

- Give it some time, Lis.

Thank you.
(knocking on door)

- Hey, Ethan, come in.
- Hey, Barbara.

- Are you?
- Yeah, you okay?

Oh my gosh.

- Are you okay?

- Ah, yeah.

Doctor says I'm fine,
I'm just sore everywhere.

Hi, Abby.

- Hi.

You okay?

That looks really painful.

(Ethan laughs)

- Question is how
are you feeling?

Police had me give
a second report.

I had no idea where
you went after I left.

Freaked me out.

- I'm fine, (laughs) I'm fine.

(knocking on door)

- Can I come in?
- Hey, Bobby, come on.

- How you feelin' today?

- I'm still here.

Any news?

- We got Michael Patterson.

I busted him at your front door.

He was trying to
see you, I guess.

- Okay, that's creepy.

But that's good.

- Yeah.

There is one other thing.

- What's that?

- I don't know if it's
related, but it's not good.

- What?

- I did some digging.

It's Bethany.

She ain't Bethany.

She changed her name.

Turns out she was locked up on
a murder charge for 25 years.

Got out early for good behavior.

- What?
- Wait a second.

What was her real name?

- Marie Dixon.

- Oh my god.

I thought she was still in jail.

- You know her?

- Yeah.

Marie Dixon is my
husband's daughter

from his first marriage.

- What?

- Daddy's ex-wife
was a drug addict.

And she left him for another man

and she took their
baby daughter, Marie,

and moved away.

- What, you never
told me all that.

- I wanted to.

I tried.

I was gonna tell you, and
then Marie went away to prison

for a long time and
it just didn't seem

like there was any
point in telling you.

She was gone, and she
wasn't coming back.

- But she did come back.

- Clearly.

I never met her.

I saw childhood pictures of her.

I knew I recognized her.

God, I told you I
never forget a face.

- Yeah, you did.

- It's so sad.

She grew up in such
a toxic environment.

And, she was always in trouble,

she always blamed your
father for everything,

and then one night,
her mother overdosed

because of the boyfriend and

they say that Marie, Bethany,

she just lost it.

She killed him.

- Oh my god.
- No way.

- How old was she?

- She had just turned 17 and
clearly it was premeditated.

They tried her as an
adult and she went

to a maximum security prison.

(slow dramatic music)

ves here?

To do what?

- Wait a second.

When did she get out?

- [Bobby] About a year ago.

- [Lisa] That's
when Dad was Killed.

- [Guard] Sign here
and you are free to go.

- Why would she kill her father?

- Because she blamed her
father for everything bad

that ever happened in her life.

- This is all speculation.

- Well Ray said that
Nina had figured out

who did the hit and run.

- [Abby] And then she
got killed for it.

- [Bobby] But where's the
evidence that she did any of this?

- [Lisa] It may
have died with Nina.

- Bye, Bethany, I'll
see you at the bar.

- Be safe.

- Could Bethany
have been the one

who stabbed you last night?

- [Lisa] Maybe.

Maybe it wasn't Michael.

- I talked to Bethany
before I got here

and I didn't
mention any of this.

I'm gonna go get her and
bring her in for questioning

about all this.

- Great, thanks, Bobby.

(soft suspenseful music)
(crickets chirping)

(engine starting)

- See you soon.

- You guys need some money?

- (laughs) No, I can
afford the groceries, Mom.

- We'll get dinner
started while you're gone.

- Hurry back.

- Okay, see you in a bit.

- Let's go kid.
- Let's go.

(crickets chirping)

(engine starting)

So she's been secretly
living among us for a year?

- (sighs) I can't believe it.

(soft suspenseful music)

I need a drink,
you want some wine?

- Yes, please.

- Are you more of a red
girl or a white girl?

- Do you have any sparkling?

- I might.

Let me see what I have in here.

I usually keep something.

Found a pinot (gasps).

- Hi, Barbara.

(intense dramatic music)

- What do you want from us?

- I want everyone to pay
for what they did to me.

- You murdered my
husband, your own father!

- You lured him away from me!

From my family!

- That is not the way
that is happened, Marie,

and you know it!

- He had it coming to him.

- Your mother was a drug addict

and she fell in love
with another man.

- Stop lying!

There, that'll shut you up.

(door opens)

- Were you really there?
- Yes, I told you that.

Do you remember, I
told you about that.

- (laughs) You crack me up,
Ethan, how could I forget?

Mom?

- Lisa!

- Oh my god.
- I'll call the police.

- Stop!

Get over there.

Well hi, sis.

- I'm not your sister.

- You killed Nina?

- I liked Nina.

But she was too smart
for her own good.

- Right.

She found out who
killed my father.

- Our father!

Let's not forget about me.

- So it was you who killed him.

(tires screeching)

- [Bethany] Walking the
same route home every night

to his new family.

He deserved it.

- He did not deserve it.

He tried to help
your loser mother.

- That never happened.

He didn't do anything for us.

- He paid and paid but your
mother was nothing but a taker!

- Shut up!

- How did you find out
Nina solved the crime?

- I'm IT, Ethan.

You've been such a asset.

- Please untie them.

Let them go.

You're not in your right
mind, you're not stable.

- I spent 15 years in prison.

You wonder why I'm not stable.

- Sorry, I'm truly sorry.

- You got all the breaks.

Look at all this.

- You're right.

I have a wonderful mother.

And I had a loving
and supportive father.

That is, until you killed him.

Nothing that happened to you
gives you the right to do that.

Nothing!

- Little sister's learning.

Life isn't fair, and sometimes,

the people you love die.

- So what's the plan, Bethany?

There's no way out of this.

We already reported
you to the police,

they're gonna find out
that you killed Nina.

- They have nothing.

I wiped Nina's hard drive.

They have no
evidence against me,

but there is a lot of
evidence against you.

- Okay, so you kill
everyone here and then what?

- I'm not killing anyone.

You are.

- Really?

- When they find you alive

and more people around you dead,

and your fingerprints
on the murder weapon.

Again?

If Nina's murder wasn't enough
to put you on Death Row,

a triple murder will. (laughs)

- You're a sick and
delusional person.

(doorbell rings)

- Who is that?

- It's probably the detective.

She said she would stop by.

- Go in there.

Get rid of whoever that is.

Otherwise I shoot Ethan,

and then head over
for your mom and BFF.

(knocking on door)
- Hold on.

I'll be right there.

(slow dramatic music)

- [Liz] Lisa.

- Hi, Detective.

Just interrogating
Michael Patterson

and I wanted to drop by and
ask you a few questions.

- Oh.

Now really isn't a good time,

could you come by later?
(phone chimes)

- I'm sorry, I just
need to check on that.

- What is it?

- Well, funny thing.

I just got a notice that
a 911 call was placed

from this location.

Is everyone here okay?

- Yeah, I'm all right.

- It says the call
was made by Abby.

Is she here, too?

- Abby is, um, in the bathroom.

- And she's okay?

No emergency or anything?

- No, she was okay
when she went in.

- I'm gonna need to have
a conversation with Abby.

Once the call is
made I'm obligated.

So, do you mind if I
come in and wait for her

to get out of the bathroom?

- Oh, um.

Yeah, oh,

okay, that's okay.

- So where's the
bathroom Abby's in?

- Um, the bathroom's
right there.

(slow suspenseful music)

(knocking on door)

- Abby, you in there?

Are you okay?

- Okay, back up.

- Okay, I'm backing.

Stay calm.

- [Bethany] I am calm.

- Can I suggest a few options

on how you can handle this?

- You don't have an option

that doesn't involve sending
me back to prison, right?

- You've committed
murder, Bethany.

- Yeah, I'm not going back!

Now I want everyone
to get on their knees.

Take your hand off the gun!

- I can't do that.

It might be the only
thing that keeps you

from murdering innocent people.

- Just please stop this now.

- You think I'm afraid
to pull the trigger?

I've done it before.

- Doesn't have to end
this way, Bethany.

- Take your hand off the gun!

- I cannot let you
kill all these people.

(gun fires)
(Liz groans)

- Freeze, put your weapon down!

- Bobby.

Always the hero.

But one thing, you go first.

- No, no!

(Liz groans)
(guns firing)

(Bethany groans)

- [Ethan] You okay?

- [Bobby] Are you all right?

Let's put some pressure on it.

- [Liz] Yeah, sure.

- Oh god.

Thank you.

Are you all right?

- I am.

- You were able to
call the police?

- It worked?

- [Ethan] You saved us all.

- Everybody all right?

Bethany's dead, it's finished.

(Lisa sighs)

- Can you get my hands?
- Yeah, let me get this.

- Oh, thank god.

- I cannot believe that
in five short years,

we are where we are today.

I love all of you so much.

Thank you for being a
part of this company.

Here's to the expansion and
the growth of our company.

To you guys.

Cheers everybody, seriously.

I couldn't have done
it without you two.

- Hey, Michael.
- Thanks, Ethan.

- What are you doing here?

- Hey, Barbara.

I just came to
bring Lisa a file.

- Oh.

Sounds so official.
(Michael laughs)

You don't wanna
stay for the fun?

- No, I should probably
get out of here after...

- Why?

- Hey.

Is my mom taking
up all your time.

- Uh, yes I am, absolutely.

It is crazy.

Handsome guys just come and
talk to me wherever I go.

Think I still got it.

- Okay.

Mom, you can go now.

- Oh, that's settled.

I'm going.

- Bye, Barbara.
- Nice to see you.

- You, too.

Uh, hey, listen.

I brought your father's
file from Nina's computer.

There's a lot of
information on it,

so I put it on a thumb drive.

- Thanks.

So does this mean you're
done helping Ethan

with the computers?

- Uh, you know, he wanted
me to stay and consult

for you guys, but, uh, well,

I told him I'd think about it.

I didn't wanna be intrusive.

After all, it got
kinda weird between us.

- I've been meaning
to talk to you

about everything that happened.

- Yeah, it's pretty
crazy, right?

- (laughs) Yes.

Crazy is right.

I'm so sorry.

- No, you shouldn't be.

I mean, you didn't know
what was gonna happen.

- But I got you arrested.

- (laughs) Yeah, that was
a new experience for me.

You know, but don't forget,

I did knock out your
boyfriend on our first date.

- Ex-boyfriend.

- Right.
(Lisa laughs)

So you're okay?

- Yeah, I will be.

Eventually.

- I should, I should go.

- Wait, go? (laughs)

What do you have an
appointment or something?

- No, I just thought
that with everything

that happened between
us that uh, well...

- Wait a second, Mr.
Wonderful. (laughs)

What if I want you to stay?

- You know, I'm never gonna
be able to live that one down,

am I?

- (laughs) Not with me around.

- And, as they say in sales,
but wait, there is more.

Not only is our
consultant Barbara Clark

helping to design
our new office,

Abby Bingham

is now officially
promoted to manager.

- Woo!

- That's my girl.

Ethan, I can't thank you enough

for bringing me
into all of this.

It is exactly what I needed.

- It's my pleasure, Barbara.

- I think having a new direction

has been good for all of us.

- A toast.

To new directions.

- To looking forward,

and never forgetting the past.

Here's to Nina.

- To Nina.
- To Nina.

And to Dad.

We'll remember you forever,

but just know that
we found some peace.

- I love you, baby. (laughs)

- Love you, Mom.

- Cheers, everyone.

- [Group] Cheers.

(group laughing)

- [Ethan] Congrats.

Cheers, guys, cheers.

(glasses clinking)

(soft upbeat music)
