WIND CHIMES PLAY

PHONE RINGS

Morn, your phone's ringing.

You told me six months

ago when we hired you

that you would be done

the job on time.

Yes, you did.

That's why you were awarded the

contract in the first place.

No, no.

There was two other bids

that matched yours but timing

was the issue, which is why we're...

Mm-hm. Right.

And do you really think

that you're the first company

to prolong a construction gig

just to get more money?

No. No. That that was not an

accusation, that was a question.

Yeah. I'm gonna tell you

what's gonna happen.

You are gonna finish the job

for the agreed-upon price

by the agreed-upon date

and you're gonna it to code

because if you don't, there'll

be no final payment issued.

Well, What? would love

to see you in court.

Yeah, and we have a great lawyer.

It's me.

Hello?

It's 8:30 in the morning, Mom.

You have to be up early

to get ahead of the game.

Who's that?

What is it? What? don't know.

What's that?

Divorce papers.

You have to get up early

to stay ahead of the game.

Come on. What? don't want to

be late for school.

What? mean, all things considered,

it could have been worse

than your marriage

just running its course.

Oh, just running its course.

That's cute.

I'll remember that when you hit

your 40s and your high school

sweetheart leaves you because your

relationship just ran its course.

OK. Well, it wasn't a total loss.

You had me.

Oh, that's so true.

But if I'm being honest,

that investment has yet to pay off.

Oh, it will.

Hey-hey.

Morning, girls. How's it going?

Oh, it's bad. Don't ask.

How bad? Not totally sure.

She says What? won't be able

to relate until Daniel dumps me

in 20 years.

He won't. What? won't let him.

Hey, are you going to need a ride

after school?

No. What? have a date with my future

ex-husband.

We're on a Monday?

Yeah. See you later.

See you in class? Yes.

What happened? Divorce papers came.

It only took a year. Mm. More than

a year, actually.

You know, my son's going out

on a date tonight, which means

I'm free for consoling my fellow

divorcee with one cheesecake.

Mm. What? meant chocolate cake. Mm.

Don't even pretend.

You know you want it.

Yeah, OK.

I'll text you. Love you. Love you.

Happy anniversary.

Oh, What? forgot.

Really?

What?

What?

What is that?

Well, traditionally second anniversary

gifts are made of cotton.

What? didn't go for them.

Open it.

It's beautiful.

Well, it has to be.

What? love it.

What? love you.

You better.

Things work differently

in the public sector

and you're in the public sector.

But there's a contract and it

stipulates that if there's

going to be a delay in the

materials,

then they have to let us know

immediately and provide us proof.

What? mean, he's known about

this for the last four weeks.

It's a con.

What? mean, I've seen this before.

We've all seen this before

but we have to go with it.

You just don't want a lawsuit.

Lawsuits are expensive.

What? would be the one to fight it.

And you probably win but you're not

a lawyer any more, Judy.

You're the deputy mayor.

Steven. How have you been?

Good. Good.

I'll leave you guys. Yeah.

They swing by this morning? Yeah.

Yeah, they sure did.

What? mean, What? watched them

jam the papers in the mailbox

then scurry away.

Wasn't supposed to be

that indelicate.

They were supposed to knock on the

door, present them with some...

respect?

Professionalism.

Right.

OK, well, What? will try to look

at them this week.

And if you want them signed,

then What? suggest that you pick them

up yourself.

With some professionalism.

It's not like the last 25 years

have been the best ever, Jude.

No. OK. What? know that. All right.

And What? know that marriage

is not all wine and cake and...

What? get it, OK.

You don't want to feel

like you're in your 40s

and you've wasted the best

years on a bad marriage.

So if you fix it, you get

right back on track, right?

Kinda, yeah.

But you can't fix it.

Steven knows that, you know that,

even Abbey knows that.

What? know.

Sign the papers.

Coast along.

It's been a year.

It's always the hardest with the

birthdays, the holidays.

Blah blah blah.

But soon it's gonna be two years,

then three, and then it's all

just a distant memory. Yeah, OK,

What? know that and it's not like

I've been drowning myself in vino

or bawling my eyes out every night.

Some nights.

Some nights

you've been a blubbering mess.

Hey, What? got text evidence

so I'm just saying. Thank you.

Thank you for reminding me.

SHE LAUGHS

It would just be so much easier

if What? didn't have to see him

so many times a week.

Get out of the public service.

Go back to your private practice.

You're still gonna have to see him

because of Abbey.

Yeah, until she's in university

which, by the way, What? really hope

that Daniel doesn't try to convince

her to stay

because that's not going to go well.

No. If anything, he's just

gonna, you know, follow her wherever

she goes.

You think so? Yeah.

What? mean, they've got something

that's pretty special.

We both had something pretty special

when we were younger too.

Mm-hm.

And look how that turned out.

Well, just because we were abject

failures in romance doesn't mean

that our kids are gonna be, right?

Yeah, yeah. More wine.

In time she'll be fine.

What? just want her to be fine now.

What? mean, I'm the kid here.

I'm the one who's supposed

to be all messed up about

their parents splitting up.

But even I'm over it.

You're talking about 7-year-olds,

not us.

How long did it take your mom to get

over splitting up with your dad?

Not that long, but catching him

in bed with another woman

kind of expedited that process.

Yeah.

But hey, it's our anniversary.

Let's keep our parents out of it.

Yeah.

Ah. That was fun.

You sure you're OK to drive?

Yeah. Yeah.

Two glasses of wine in three

hours?

OK. All right.

All right. See you. Love you.

See you tomorrow? Mm-hm.

What? love you.

You better.

DOOR OPENS

Mm - little late for a Monday night,

don't you think?

Don't worry Mom, I'm still a virgin.

You don't really think

I'm that dumb, do you?

To believe I'm a vestal maiden, or

to fall for the diversion tactic?

Both. Hey.

Beautiful.

Where'd you get it from?

Just something Daniel got me.

Because it's your anniversary.

That's right.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Well, What? mean...

Hey, you don't have

to hide being happy from me, OK.

What? think it's wonderful

that your relationship

is going so well.

Really? Yeah.

Don't worry about me.

What? mean, everything in my life

is going magnificently.

And getting to be happy.

All right.

Night. Night.

Love you. Love you too.

Happy anniversary.

Thank you.

So What? guess you're sleeping in here.

Come on, Mom. Sleep it off upstairs.

Mom?

Mom! Mom!

Mom!

Hello. What? need help.

My mom is not responding.

PHONE RINGS

Hey, what is it?

Is Abbey home?

Yeah. Why? The two of you need

to come into the station right now.

Steven? Hey. Come on in.

It's a start.

Hey.

Hi, sweetheart.

Hey. What's going on?

It's Kendra.

Where is she?

When Danny got home last night

after dropping you off...

...she was unresponsive.

What... Steven.. What...

Where is she?

He called the ambulance

and the paramedics got there and...

Paramedics got there and what?

She's gone, honey.

But... She's dead?

Yeah. What? just saw her, Steven.

What do you...

What happened?

We're going to find out.

Jude.

There are some things

we have to talk about.

So Daniel tells us you

were at a movie together last night.

Yeah. Till what time?

Around... midnight, What? guess.

Yeah. Yeah. No. It was then.

What? was... What? was still up.

Why? Were you just waiting for

Abbey?

What? was going over divorce papers.

Was there anything different

about Daniel last night?

No. He was same as always.

What is it with all the questions?

What? just have to ask.

When you had drinks with Kendra,

was there anything different

about her? She say anything?

Not a thing. OK.

Are we done?

Hey, kiddo. Steven says we

can take you home now, OK.

Listen, What? feel like What? saw

someone last night

outside of the restaurant.

It looked like he was watching us.

Did you get a look at him?

No. No, not closely.

But something... What? mean, something

feels very off here.

All right. Anything else comes up,

you let me know.

And the moment that you know what

happened,

What? know. OK?

Absolutely.

Take care of her.

Anything she needs.

Whatever What? can do.

Got to go.

If you want, you can just

stay home with Daniel.

Need a bit of a distraction. OK.

If you change your mind and you want

to come home,

just call me and I'll come

to pick you up, whatever. OK.

We have to get out of here!

Hey, Judy. What? just heard about

Kendra.

What? don't know what to say.

Thank you.

Can you look someone up for me?

Um... OK. What's the name?

Jason Hall.

I've a Jason Alexander Hall here,

originally from Mill Creek.

Yeah. That's the one.

What? have an address out of state.

Can you print it out for me?

Sure. Thanks.

Hi.

What are you doing?

I'm just trying to get a bit

organised here.

Why?

The school called me this morning

to sub in for a little while.

Are you in this class?

Fourth period.

You know they called an assembly.

About Kendra Wilson. What? know.

I'm Ms Evans.

Abbey Dwyer.

What? understand you and Miss Wilson

were close.

Who told you that?

Oh, the administration told me

you might not come in today.

You or her son Daniel.

You know, it's customary to let

anyone in her class miss the day

so we won't be doing anything

too noteworthy.

In fact, we might just be talking.

You think people are going

to talk to you about her?

They can if they want.

I'll see you in fourth period.

Maybe.

We need to talk about something.

What? saw these last night.

What? didn't even finish reading them.

What? just... What? don't care.

It's about Daniel.

What about him?

What? just think right now might be best

if we Abbey spent a little time

away from him. What? Why?

You're right about Kendra -

this whole thing's suspicious.

No witnesses,

no signs of forced entry.

What? sent her bloodwork

to the lab to be tested.

Could take a few days.

What? just...

You think that Daniel is a suspect?

Because that's ridiculous, Steven.

No, that's not what I'm saying.

What? want to be safe

and until What? can clear him,

What? would just like you guys to

distance yourselves... Daniel.

Daniel!

What? thought he was with Abbey.

God dammit, Steven!

I'll go get him. You know what? No.

Just please find out

what happened to Kendra. Please.

Daniel?

Oh, hey. What? could have come and got

you.

I'm gonna kill Dad. What? take

it that you talked to Daniel.

Yeah. Of course. Dad is such...

Just stop it.

Your father, he, he loves Daniel.

He's just being cautious.

He was in the room.

It was, it was bad timing.

Well, he just made a horrible

thing a whole lot worse.

So where is Daniel?

What? had to convince him to come back.

He'll be here later.

OK.

Excuse me. Yeah.

Do you work here?

What do you think?

Fair enough.

Listen, that apartment up there -

was there a man by the name

of Jason Hall that lived there?

You know Jason?

Yes, well, What? did.

Hah! Everybody

coming out of the woodwork.

Sorry?

Some other woman

came here last week.

Got him all riled up so

he skipped out on a month's rent.

You find him,

you let me know.

Yeah.

Thank you.

You know, What? know that

but they know that line

below that, it says "inconclusive".

What? need to you to tell me exactly

what that means.

Steven.

OK, so that's positive?

What? know What? understand that there's

always room for error but whatever

small percentages, you're positive?

Yeah. OK.

Thank you.

What's up?

What? just... What? got to thinking

about that guy at the restaurant

and... just hear me out, OK.

So What? had a feeling and What? followed

up on it.

Now Jason Hall, he's been living

out of state

for quite some time now.

And when What? went there,

the guy that runs the place, he said

that some woman stopped by last week

and got him all riled up.

And now he's disappeared.

Judy.

It's not a coincidence, Steven.

What? mean, 25 years

go by and then nothing.

And then Kendra dies

and Jason's doing...

What is this?

Coroner's report. That's who

What? was just talking to.

Heart failure? It's what it says.

But what if it's wrong?

It's not wrong.

There is a chance she could

have been poisoned.

Toxicology specialist tell me

they're fast-tracking the bloodwork.

What? should have answers soon.

How's Abbey? Tell her

I'm just doing my job, right?

You're her father and Daniel's the

love of her life.

She couldn't care

less about your job.

Fine. Whatever. She can think

what she wants.

If I'm right about this...

What if I'm right about Jason?

Hm?

So What? guess you're assuming you see

him outside the restaurant.

Yeah. What? am.

It's a danger,

Well, maybe, but it'll

be 25 years ago next week.

OK.

This has nothing to do with that.

What? have work to do.

Given Ms Wilson's passing,

the school has opted to delay

any upcoming tests and extend

any existing deadlines

on assignments by one week.

However, if anyone wants

to hand in their assignments

as planned, go ahead.

BELL RINGS

Anyone needing to talk,

our doors are always open.

Hi, Abbey.

What? understand Ms Wilson's son

Daniel is staying with you.

That's right.

How's he doing?

Ask him yourself.

Hi Daniel.

I'm Ms Evans.

What? was just letting Abbey know to

tell you that the school is prepared

to grant you an exemption.

Sorry. Who are you?

A substitute.

For my mom?

Can we go? Yeah.

This is the weirdest feeling in the

world. What? have no idea what to do.

Yeah, What? know.

Excuse me.

You're Daniel Wilson, aren't you?

And you're Abbey Dwyer.

Who are you?

What? knew your mother.

What do you want? What? warned her.

What? You all need to leave.

You, her mother, her father.

What? All of you.

None of you are safe here any more.

Leave town now, before

anyone else is killed.

Killed?!

You're saying someone

killed my mom?!

Hey! I'm talking to you!

Daniel! Hey! Daniel!

And he didn't tell you his name? No.

And that's everything

that he told you? Yeah. Who is he?

His name is Jason Hall.

Did he really know Mom?

Yeah.

No, they actually even, they dated

for a time in high school.

Why would he say it was a murder

if she died of a heart attack?

Listen, Daniel, What?

Jason, he's just, he's not the most

stable guy, and they broke up right

before he went to prison. For what?

Vehicular manslaughter.

He killed somebody?

It was an accident and it's, you

know, it's very,

it's very complicated.

But, listen, if you see him again,

and especially if he approaches

you, What? want you to call your father

and tell him where you are.

OK? Mm-hmm.

OK.

I'm going to do some e-mails

for your mom's service,

so do you want to... Yeah.

Just going to watch

something in my room. OK.

SHE SIGHS

He served 13 years of a

15-year sentence. Yeah?

And he's been out for 12 years.

OK. OK, so he's off,

he's off the map for a decade,

and then some woman shows

up and he flips out, he ends

up back here,

and then Kendra dies.

OK, so the woman is Kendra.

Why does she go see him?

The accident. Oh, here we go.

Why do you have such a problem

with this?

Because it's a stretch, Jude.

You're a lawyer, you know that.

What? don't care, Steven

He approached our daughter.

What? need you to get me

those toxicology results.

And let me guess, you're going to

go find Jason Hall? Yes, What? am, and

anything else that points to him.

You want proof? I'll get it.

So either Dad or What? will pick you up after school,

OK? And What? don't want you to worry about that man.

If you don't want me to worry about

him, why are you walking me all the

way to the front door? What? just

thought you want me to.

Hi, Abbey. Hey.

Is this your mom? Yeah.

Alice Evans. Judy Dwyer.

What? understand you and Kendra

Wilson were quite close.

I'm very sorry. Thank you.

So, you're a teacher here? Yes.

Listen, there's a man, Jason Hall,

Abbey can describe him to you.

If you see him around, can you let

the Sheriff's Office know?

He just gave her quite

a scare yesterday. Of course.

No problem. Are you OK?

Fine. Thank you. Thanks so much. OK.

I'll see you after school. Mm-hmm.

Was he threatening you in some way?

LAUGHTER

What are you doing here?

What? just came to pick up some

photos for the funeral.

Hey, Rob. Um...

What's going on?

Toxicology came back. Uh-huh?

They found elevated levels of

succinic acid and

choline in her system.

Suxamethonium chloride in her wine.

What, what is, what is that?

It's poison, Jude.

It kills by paralysis, affects

every organ in the body,

including the heart.

Oh, my God!

So, she was murdered? She was.

I'm so sorry.

Bill? A word? Just leave it with

me, all right? OK.

You were supposed to be taking

some time off.

What... Are you OK? What's going on?

Listen, do you, do you remember

Jason Hall? Yeah, of course.

Jason was the youngest kid

What? ever prosecuted. OK, well,

What? need to find him, because What? think

that he has something to do

with Kendra's murder. Murder?!

Toxicology came back.

There was poison in her wine.

Oh, my God! Why would Jason Hall

have anything to do with that?

Look, it's a really long story,

but he's involved, and What? know

it, and What? need you to talk

to Steven and get him moving

in that direction. OK?

I've been pushing this on a hunch,

but What? know that I'm right,

and he just, he's, he's not

listening to me. Well, OK,

What? prefer to leave police

matters to the police.

Bill, when have What? ever let you down?

OK. All right, I'll speak to him.

Thank you. Thanks.

So, that weird guy was telling

the truth? Something like that.

And you really think he has

something to do with it?

Well, that's what

I'm trying to find out.

Oh, my God.

What are you doing? Let him go!

Abbey... Let him go!

He didn't do anything! Abbey! What?

He didn't do anything!

Abbey, back off! What, you think

he killed his own mom?!

He has no-one left!

You just need to arrest

someone, is that it?!

Abbey! You didn't do anything!

What? know, but you have to stop,

please.

It's all right,

just give her a minute.

Really? Hey!

Don't you worry, we're gonna

get you out, OK?

We're gonna get him out.

ENGINE STARTS

You can't really believe

that he did this.

We found poison in the basement.

She bought the wine the day

before, and by all accounts,

including his own,

he was the only one with access,

and his prints were on the bottle.

Steven, he has no motive whatsoever!

That you know of. But you've been

questioning him? Yes. And?

Nothing. So you're just kicking

the kid while he's down?

You think this doesn't bother me, Jude? Do you think

it doesn't break my heart, seeing him in there?

What? can't ignore the evidence.

But you know that he didn't do it!

What? don't know that!

What? don't know that. What? can believe

it, but that doesn't help.

How's Abbey holding up? She's a

mess.

She hates me.

She's disappointed in you.

And she wants to see him.

OK. She can see him tomorrow.

And Jason Hall? What about him?

Oh, come on, Steven! This comes

back to the accident!

You know it! No, What? don't!

What? don't know that. I'm really getting

tired of this accident thing, Jude.

It is the only motive that exists!

How? How? How is it?

What? don't, What?, What? don't know yet, but you

know what, you're gonna get Daniel out of that chair

and you're gonna put Jason in it.

Excuse me?

No, What? will not excuse you.

This isn't your wife speaking.

You saw to that. This is your boss.

The mayor is my boss, not the deputy

mayor. Who What? somehow doubt,

when it comes to you and What?, that

he'll side with you on that.

HE SIGHS

Steven, look at these.

Where did you get these?

What? got one in the mail yesterday,

and Kendra, she got one before she

was murdered.

What? mean, it says "vengeance"

and "judgement".

Steve, come on. That's not Daniel,

that is Jason.

This is, this is the warning

he was talking about.

Possibly, but... you wouldn't

forecast like this if you were

trying to get away with murder. OK, what if, what

if he's, what if he's not trying to get away

with it? What if he's warning them because he knows

that he's messed up and he might do it again?

All right. OK. I'll look into it.

OK, you're just going

to look into it?

OK, Jude, What? believe you. OK?

It's enough to bring him in,

but What? can't flip this whole

investigation or let anyone go

because you handed me a couple

of cryptic pieces of paper.

What? What? didn't fabricate those!

What? know! You're only facing "Jason this, Jason

that," I've got Abbey actually smacking me

in my face. There's a kid in there who I've known

his entire life, and his mother who was my high

school friend is lying dead on a

slab in the morgue!

What the hell makes you think

I'm not doing anything?!

You know why you were surprised

by this divorce, Jude?

Because you didn't see it coming.

You didn't see the signs,

you weren't listening.

And when you did listen,

you didn't hear.

I'm going to walk.

I'll see you at home. OK.

Hey!

Hey! Mom?

Hey!

Mom?!

Hey!

Mom?!

Hey!

What's going on?

That was Jason Hall.

He's here? Yeah.

All right, make the call.

You know what to say. OK.

TYRES SCREECH, CRASH

Jason, what the hell?!

Told you, you were driving too fast!

PHONE RINGS

- Dwyer.

- Hello, Steven.

Who's this? An old friend.

Jason? You know, What? must say, What? was

surprised to find out you and Judy

split up. You seemed

so perfect together.

What can What? do for you?

What? think it's more of a question of

what What? can do for you.

I'm listening.

The boy didn't kill his mother.

OK, then, who did?

YOU did.

Jason, I'm here.

You wanted to meet face-to-face.

Why don't you come on out?

What? don't have time for games, Jason.

CLATTER

Look, What? know Daniel didn't

kill Kendra.

What? sure as hell know

What? didn't kill her.

You want to prove it wasn't you,

you need to come out here

and talk to me.

Come on, Jason!

GUN COCKS

No!

GUNSHOTS

PHONE RINGS

Hello?

This is she.

Whenever you're ready.

DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

We have no idea why he was there.

He might have been

investigating something.

There was a call to his office

from an unknown number,

about a half-hour before,

and we're looking into that,

but he told no-one

he was going out there.

We found these in his desk.

Do they mean anything to you? Urn...

One of them was sent to Kendra,

and one of them was sent to me.

Wait, what is this?

There were three.

He got one, too.

What do they mean?

What? think these are from Jason Hall.

You really believe he's involved,

don't you.

Yes, Bill, What? really do.

Whoever it is...

...we are going to find them.

What is, what's happening

with Daniel Wilson?

He is going to have to stay

where he is for now.

If we find Steven's murder tied

to Kendra's, it'll be a different

story. Which, if your instincts are

correct, is just a matter of time.

But for now we just have to wait.

I'm sorry.

Sir, we can't keep them waiting

any longer.

What? have to go.

PHONE RINGS

Hello? Hi, is this Judy?

This is she. Great.

This is Alice Evans, from Abbey's

school. Oh, right. Hi.

Hey, are you still looking

for that guy you were talking

to me about? The one that scared

Abbey a few clays ago?

Yes. Yes, What? am.

OK, What? don't know if it's him,

but What? did see someone that fits

the exact description Abbey

gave me at the motel today.

The one with the gas station

across the street.

Well, What? was in there and he came

in while What? was getting gas,

and What? watched him

go across to the motel.

OK, great. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Good evening. Hi there. I'm Judy

Dwyer, I'm the deputy mayor.

Sheriff Dwyer's my husband.

What can What? do for you?

You have a guest staying here

by the name of Jason Hall?

I'm not allowed to give

that information, ma'am.

OK, well, you know, why don't you call the Sheriff's

Office and tell them that you're not cooperating

with me, and the next people to walk through that

door will be the police and probably the mayor.

Then we can all discuss the hourly rates you

provide for some of the girls around here. OK?

It's Jason Hall.

Yeah, he checked in last week.

What clay? Saturday.

Saturday night. ls he still here?

As far as What? can see.

Take me to his room.

DIAL TONE

This is it here.

HE KNOCKS, DOOR CREAKS

Jason?

Hello?

What the hell's that?

SHE GASPS

Hey, that's you, isn't it?

Call the police. Right now.

TYRES SCREECH

That's quite a bit of work in there.

Yeah.

How did you know to come here?

What? asked one of the teachers at the

school to keep an eye out for him,

and she did. Well, they've got an

APB out on him, so... Good.

Jason Hall was the one driving

the car that hit

Shannon Collins and Kyle Hanson.

So, how do you and Kendra

and Steven figure into this?

How do Abbey and Daniel figure

into this? We found something.

There's blood here.

It's fresh, in the last day.

There are a few drops

on the door as well.

We can't tell yet

if it's coming or going.

So, something happened in here.

That's not all.

There wasn't a single fingerprint,

not on any of this. Really?

Not one. But what about the rest

of the place? Prints everywhere,

but it's a motel, so... What do you

think that means, then? First guess?

He's very meticulous with his arts

and crafts. And a second guess?

He didn't do all this. He has help?

No, if anything, he

clashed with someone.

And then they took him

from this place.

And then they planted this.

And sent the letters.

Exactly. OK.

Why would somebody do all that?

To implicate him.

Hey.

What'cha doing? Nothing.

You want to talk about anything?

No. OK.

Listen, What? want you to stay home from

school for a couple of clays, OK?

Yeah, sure.

Whoever killed Kendra, killed Dad,

didn't they?

Yeah, sweetie, What? think so.

Why aren't they letting Daniel go?

What? don't know, honey.

What? asked them the same thing.

You think it's that Jason Hall

guy who's doing this?

Honestly, Abs...

...I don't know any more.

You're going to find him,

though, right? Yes.

I'm going to find him.

Come here.

I'm so sorry.

So, how far back are we going?

25 years.

Is that the one? That's the one.

Thank you.

"3am crash. Driver..."

TYRES SCREECH, CRASH

SHE MUTTERS

Jude!

"One other survivor,

Shannon Collins."

Please! Don't leave me!

Jude! Judy, come on! We can't just

leave them under there!

PHONE RINGS

Hi. Judy, we need to get

down to the old bridge right away.

Why? What's going on?

Just... get down here.

Yeah, OK, I'm on my way.

POLICE RADIO CHATTER

Stand behind the line, please!

What's going on?

It's Jason Hall. He's here?

What? don't think that Jason Hall killed

Kendra, or Steve, or himself.

We don't know that. He could

have easily got himself up

there, tied the noose and jumped.

Might have felt us getting too close

and decided that was it. No,

Tyson, this isn't a suicide.

And today, it isn't a coincidence.

What does that mean? Well, today

it's the 25th anniversary

of the accident.

That wall in his motel room -,

someone they set that up to make it

look like he was guilty. And this, What?

Mean, it was all staged to look

like a suicide so that... so that it

tidies everything up for us.

You know, you're on that wall, and you got a

letter, too. What? know, What? know that.

And that's why we have to find out

what happened after the accident.

What? mean, What? can't find any

information on Jason's family.

What? know that he lived with his

mother, but she died when he was in

jail. Yeah, we looked into that.

There is no other family.

What? have to find Shannon Collins.

You know where she is? No.

But What? know where she was.

Bill, I'm going to need a court order for Shana

Collins' medical records from Pine Grove Hospital.

I'll be there in about two hours.

All right.

That should be enough time

to get hold of the judge.

Here it is. Oh, great, thank you.

What? remember Shannon.

Horrible accident.

She was here for nearly 18 months.

She's something of a

legendary case here.

Medical miracle, really.

She flatlined for six minutes

at Mill Creek Memorial in ER.

Doctors brought her back. In a coma

for many months, then she came here.

What? worked on her myself.

Four operations to reconstruct

her shoulder and hip. Eight

operations to reconstruct her face.

My last surgery, actually.

ENGINE STALLS

It won't start!

One good photo to work from leaves

you very little to work with.

And in all that time she never said

a word. What? guess a broken heart's

the one thing we can't repair.

TYRES SCREECH

Shannon!

But after the last surgery,

she finally spoke.

CRASH

She said it made her feel

like a new person.

Is this your mom?

Alice Evans. What? could swear What? saw

someone that fits the exact

description at the motel today.

LAUGHTER

Are you OK?

Right in front of me.

Thank you.

Yeah, she's a new teacher

at the school.

694 Old Orchard Road. Thank you.

SHE SCREAMS

Alice?

It's beautiful.

Where did you get it from?

Just something Daniel got me.

Hey, you've reached Abbey Dwyer.

Leave me a message.

Abbey, honey, you call me as

soon as you get this, OK?

Abbey! Abbey!

Abbey! Abbey!

Where are you?!

Abbey!

Where are you?!

All the note says is it's my life

for Abbey's. But no specific place?

No. Are you sure it's

Shannon Collins? Yes.

Bill, she has been here the whole

time. What? have met her!

What? mean, but it's not her, she's, What?

Mean, she's different.

She's completely changed. She's

going under the name Alice Evans,

and I'm guessing the dead woman that What? just found,

that's the real Alice Evans. It all makes sense now.

What do you mean that makes sense? Steven was

killed at the old mill, so we did some digging.

Kyle Hanson's family closed

down the place and moved away

after his death, but they still own

it. Oh, my God!

Abbey's got to be there. What? mean,

that is the only place left.

But What? still don't understand.

What does this have to do with you?

Look, Bill, it doesn't matter. You just

get as many people there as you can.

ENGINE STALLS

Try it again. It won't start!

Shannon!

We have to get out of here!

Jason, what the hell?!

COUGHING

What? told you, you were driving

too fast, Jason!

Oh, my God!

Somebody's under there!

Kendra, get back in the car!

What did you do? She's dead.

Steven? Steven!

Judy, you don't need to see this.

We just killed someone?!

No, HE did! What?!

We have to get out of here!

It's my dad's car!

They'll know it was me!

But they won't know it was us!

What are you talking about?

Were WE driving like that?!

Did WE do this?! No!

We can't just leave. We have to.

It does no good for us to stay.

But it's wrong. No, it isn't!

We didn't do this. Kendra...

You can't be serious!

We, we can't just leave

them under there.

We can't just leave Jason alone.

Jason will go into town

and tell the cops what he did -

it was an accident.

You were alone in the car.

You got that? Steven, let him go!

You got that?!

Go!

Come on, let's go. Come on, Jude.

WHIMPERING

I'm sorry.

Abbey?!

Abbey!

Abbey!

Hello, Judy.

All those years, you never

knew What? saw you.

All of you.

At least Jason had the guts

to admit what he did.

But what choice did you give him?

It was an accident!

Then why did you run?!

You let your little boyfriend

tell you what to do.

And you ran away.

Leaving me to die.

It was wrong, and you knew

it was wrong.

You knew it!

Shannon...

...please, don't you think that

What? haven't thought about that night

1,000 times? What? mean, what

else could What? have done?

Oh, yeah. Dodge that guilt.

You've outrun this for 25 years.

Now it's time to make it up to me.

Everyone else has paid their debt.

Now it's your turn.

Everyone else? Why, why didn't you

just kill Jason Hall and

leave it at that?

What do you mean? Why

didn't What? kill him first?

What? needed him.

What? knew all What? had to do was rattle

his little cage and he'd come

running to save his precious

little Kendra. He took the fall

for her, you know that?

You and Steven just got lucky.

To tell you the truth, at first

What? wasn't going to kill him.

What? thought maybe he should live.

He's faced the music,

he's served his time.

Then What? realised he was worth so

much more to me

as a dead-end scapegoat.

The cops would think he killed

her, then Steven.

But now they won't. Oh, but they do,

thanks to you.

And now that he's dead, well...

And the real Alice Evans?

Oh.

Severe chronic depression

can be fatal at times.

Which brings us back to you. After

you admit to Jason's murder

for killing your man

and your little BFF,

all this will be over.

A suicide confession?

Not on your life.

What about Abbey's life?

She has nothing to do with this.

You're right, she doesn't.

So don't make her suffer.

Is she safe?

You know, What? actually like her.

She's smart, beautiful, in love.

Her whole future ahead of her.

Just like What? did! Shannon...

...I am so sorry.

Too late.

You're not going to

get away with this.

That would be such a cliche

if it wasn't so ironic coming

from someone who's avoided

the noose for so long.

What? did nothing to you!

What? wasn't driving! Do what What? say, or

What? shoot you like What? shot your man!

And then What? kill Abbey. No.

Then What? disappear.

I've become someone new before,

What? can do it again.

It's OK, it's OK! It's OK!

Are you OK? Yeah. Are you OK?

Are you OK?

SOBBING

Get her out of these! Right away.

It's all right.

POLICE RADIO CHATTER

We just got on with

the rest of our lives.

And then a day becomes a month,

and a month becomes a year, and...

You kept your secret the whole

time What? prosecuted him.

What? spoke to him during the trial,

and What? told him that What? wanted

to confess, but he said

that he didn't want me to -

it wouldn't help him, and it

would only hurt the rest of us.

And he'd already ruined

so many lives...

But he was right. He was right.

Was he?

He was.

Thanks.

Hey.
