The Unseen (2023) - full transcript

Then you select
whichever package you want

and you stitch.

Kali, you could be
resourceful and help.

I-- I am!

I'm teaching others how to
transition between video clips.

That's not essential.

Get out of here
with that.

Come on.

I'm actually
a famous influencer.

I have almost
15,000 followers.

I have over 15,000 followers.



Well, what do you have?
Like, three?

Maybe you can
influence your followers

to help
set the table then?

Considering you live here
rent free.

Only for another month.
I'm about to move on campus.

Yeah.

R-- remind me, uh,
who's paying for that...

campus housing?

Tuition?

Well, at least I don't live
at home after college like you.

I graduate law school
in two weeks.

You, on the other hand,

are completely
dependent on Mom and Dad.

Correct?



-But, you know, when I'm 25--
-Objection.

We're not talking
about when you're 25,

we're talking
about right now.

The defense rests,
your honor.

Yeah, funny.

To that point, counselor...

how's your job search going?

I have to pass
the bar first, Mom.

Well, you know your dad's
gonna want you to have

a job lined up before
the bar and graduation.

-If you want his help--
-D-- I don't.

Hey, why aren't you guys
watching the news right now?

Why?

There's cops and reporters
everywhere on our street.

-It's fucking--
-Oh, L-- Lindsay.

-Frickin' ridiculous.
-What happened?

Someone got murdered.

- On our-- on our street?
- Yeah.

I thought we lived
in, like, the safest area.

- The victim...
- In Chicago,

people get murdered
every day.

...was found in her bedroom

and pronounced dead
at 6:00 this morning.

- Holy shit.
- Oh, my God.

Oh, Barbara.

Barbara?

Dr. B., remember?

Oh, yeah.

She used to hand out full-size
candy bars on Halloween.

How sad.

Take a security guard
who sneaks off for a smoke.

He leaves
his post unmanned,

allowing a murderer
into the building unchecked.

How do we define
who's at fault?

Is the security guard

ultimately responsible
for the death?

Or the murderer?

Tom?

A-- are you
with us, Tommy?

Yeah. Sorry.

I'd love
your take on this topic.

To me, it seems like...

Palsgraf would be
a good example here.

Um...

When the suspect
brought the--

um, the bag of explosives
onto the--

onto the train, uh...

uh, it's found to be

an independent act
of negligence

and supersedes negligence

on the employee
or the company,

um, which breaks
the chain of causation.

I meant in regards
to criminal cases, not civil.

And I certainly hope
on the exam

when you answer questions,
you give more concise answers.

Don't just regurgitate
the court's opinion.

I, uh-- I am not

simply regurgitating opinion.

It's the law.

Palsgraf establishes

a clear precedent
of causation.

Using big words doesn't
necessarily make you right, son.

I bet "nepotism"
is one of those big words.

Fuck off.

Back up, Bryce,

the guy
can barely even walk right.

Go catch a dick, Kelsey.

All right, all right.

Let's just
calm down here.

Okay?

Tommy,
that was a valiant effort.

I'm sure you must feel
some pressure

having your dad
as the guest lecturer.

All right, I think
we are done for today.

Let's all thank Mr. Olson
for giving us his time, please.

Thank you.

Must be tough
being Dan Olson's progeny.

You have no idea.

Yeah?

Maybe this will help.
I'm, uh...

-Um...
-Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm sorry.

I'm Olivia.

-Tommy.
-Nice to meet you.

I-- I haven't
seen you here before, uh...

That's because I usually
hide in the back row, so...

Well, um, after today,

I might be doing the same.

So, uh,

Jude and Teel, huh?

Hey.

Leave me alone, Dad.

Look, I did what
any judge would have done

if you brought up Palsgraf
in a criminal trial.

Just trying to help you.

Let me do you a favor.
I don't need your help.

You wouldn't be
in this law school

if it wasn't
for my help.

Look,
I talked to your professor.

You make it to class
and that's half the battle,

but you can't be
falling asleep in class

if you expect to get picked up
by one of the top firms.

Don't worry.

I won't be asking you

for a recommendation letter.

With that attitude,
you won't be getting one.

Get your shit together.

Oh, hey!

-Hey.
-Thank you again for today.

Are we still on
for next week?

-Yeah. Absolutely.
-Great. Looking forward to it.

Absolutely.

Hey.

-Kelsey, right?
-Yes, hi.

- You can call me Dan.
- Dan, okay.

Hey, look,
let's talk about, uh--

let's talk about the law.

Mmm... Mmm...

Mmm, mmm, mmm.

You graduate in May?

Uh, yes, ma'am.

-Uh, Pritzker Law.
-I can read.

Bar exam
in July I presume?

Uh, yes, ma'am.

So, why us?

Uh, well,
I got your information

from a classmate in school,

and after
doing my research, I--

Allow me to rephrase.

You're Dan Olson's son.

With his recommendation,
you could work anywhere.

Yeah, I mean, why us?

You already have an in
to the largest firm in the city.

Well, yes,
my father's firm is...

very successful...

I prefer
to follow my own path.

If you wanted
to pave your own path...

why would you pursue criminal
law like your father did?

Well, it was the area in school
I found most interesting,

and two, um,
per Gideon Wainwright,

uh, everyone has--

A right to counsel.
What is your point?

I want to help people.

I-- I wanna help
the innocent.

And if they're not?

- Not what?
- Innocent.

Well, I will do
everything that I can

to make sure justice
is found for my client.

That's my job.

You know what?
I respect that, kid.

This could work.

Especially with
our unfinished business.

We're bringing
someone on to work older,

ongoing splinter cases.

Low pay, long hours,
could be a good place

for a new hire
to show initiative.

I have a case
in mind, actually.

With all due respect,
um, Miss Jude--

Ms. Jude.
I'm married to the firm.

Right, uh, Ms. Jude...

I was kind of looking for
something with a little more...

Higher paying?

Uh, correct.

You think if I give you
some dusty history book case

from ten years ago,
it won't be the cutting edge

of what
you've been studying?

That you'll get lost
in a backroom somewhere

with no opportunities to show us
the value you can bring?

I didn't want to quite
say it like that, but, uh--

Cold cases are old, yes.

And tough to conclude,

especially since everyone
who came before you has failed.

Families will get closure...

and you will be
the one to help them.

You think you can
handle the pressure?

Hey.

Are you listening to me?

Tommy?
Are you listening to me?

Tommy! Tommy!

Tommy.
Are you listening to me?

Oh, uh, thank you.

Thank-- thank you
for your time and I--

I look forward
to your email.

Uh, Jane...

Can I talk to you for--
for a second?

Sure, sure, sure.
Just give me one second.

Just please stop
typing for, like, five seconds.

I have deadlines.

I don't want
to crack down.

It just feels like you're
not even trying to listen to me.

-I'm telling you--
-You're telling me what?

-I'm t--
-Olivia, if this is

like that shit
you told me--

Jane, I'm-- I'm
seeing things and--

and-- and no one
believes me.

You've been
saying this for weeks.

Out of all the fucking people,
Jane, really?

Really?

- You don't believe me?
- I--

- You don't--
- I do believe you.

I just think-- I think
you need some rest, okay?

You have been burning
the candle at both ends. I--

-Hey!
-Jesus, Olson. Watch out.

Bryce, what the fuck
are you doing here?

Stealing your job,
daddy's boy.

Fucking Bryce.

She has three hemorrhages,
two contusions.

Doctor, what do you
wanna do?

Jesus Christ.

Ellie could survive this.

Call it.

Dr. Sims...

I've seen traumas
like this before,

she's at 30% best.

Even if we work all night
to try to keep her stable,

she's gonna be crippled.

Barbara.

I'm on my small break.

Hello.

Hello?

Yeah. This-- this is,
uh, Thomas Olson.

How can I help you?

Oh, hey.

Um...

Yeah, uh, that--
that sounds amazing, um...

Uh, you wanna--
you wanna bring me on?

Um...

Is there an offer
I'll-- I'll receive?

Hello?

Hello?

- Tommy.
- Oh!

Hey.

Quit your daydreaming.

You get
your first trial by fire.

Time to meet
the big boss.

Yeah, uh, I actually
need to talk to her

about the terms
of my position.

Uh, you know what?

I don't actually think
she's in right now,

um, but you can wait
in the conference room

until she arrives.

Great.

Hey, by the way,

uh, who is the girl
in the photo, um?

She looks familiar.

The associates?

Rookie, it's day one.

You'll get there someday.

-You coming?
-Yeah.

And this
is the conference room.

-Nice.
-Yeah.

Uh, Kristen
should be here shortly.

Okay.

-See you around?
-Yeah.

Tommy.

-Make yourself comfortable.
-Oh, thank you.

-Not there.
-Oh, um, excuse me.

Thank you
for this opportunity.

I have your paperwork to sign
so you can start right away.

I'm hiring you on
to help with our workload.

I'll need you
to start taking assignments.

You, uh-- you mean cases?

Uh, yeah.

Uh, who will be
my supervisor?

Are you saying
you don't want the job?

No, no, I--
I'm not saying that.

I definitely
want the job.

Then sign.

Um...

Uh, I'm assuming,
uh, there are benefits?

Of course
we have benefits.

Many of them
once you finish and kill.

Wait, what--
what did you say?

Once you bill.
As in bill each client?

Oh. Yeah.

I'm late for a conference call.
Let me show you to your office.

When do I, uh, start?

Now.

Here you are--
the dungeon of success.

This will be where
you'll spend your days

and probably many nights.

Oh, I'm--
I'm used to long hours.

My dad comes home
at all hours of the night.

-Liv, I made your favorite.
-Oh!

Bok choy tonight.

Yay! Can't wait.

I fucking hate
bok choy.

Uh, she cooks for you?

Yeah. Only on Thursdays
when I'm actually home.

-Are you two rel--
-Adopted.

Ah.

But don't think
I didn't earn this position.

No, no,
I am not one to talk.

I am sure
you're very good at your job.

I am.

I, uh--

I got a job today.

That's wonderful.

Yeah, Tommy,
that's really awesome.

Well, does that mean
you're gonna move out soon?

- Kali.
- Yeah, Kali.

Not nice.

But seriously, the way
the sun comes into your room

is perfect
for my sun salutations.

Which firm?

Kirkland and Ellis? Mackenzie?

You know, I--
I didn't, um,

reach out
to either one of those.

Those are the only two
you should be looking into.

I mean,
if you had half a brain,

you'd let me
make two phone calls

and I can get you the best
damn firm in this town.

You know, I haven't even told
you the fucking firm's name yet

and you're already
judging my poor decisions.

Tommy, he is not judging you.
Your father's trying to help.

Yeah, he's not
trying to help me.

- He's trying--
- All right.

Which one is it?

Jude and Teel.

Nice, bro, I'm glad
it worked out for you.

I closed around
our house today.

You didn't tell me that.

You never asked.

Did you even apply to any
of the firms I recommended?

Dad. He got a job.

You should be
proud of him.

I would be proud of him

if he got hired
by a real law firm.

We did not send you
to school

for you to work
for some third-rate firm

like Jude and whatever
the fuck it is.

You know, nothing's
ever good enough for you.

It-- it's not
the right firm,

it's-- it's not
Kirkland and Ellis,

you know, I am sorry.

I am-- I--
your crippled son fell again.

- Honey--
- Run to your room, loser.

- Dad!
- Dan.

When you make the money,
you make the rules.

Otherwise, sit there
and eat your fucking food.

You don't have
to be so harsh.

- Eat your fucking dinner.
- Dan.

Kali!

Kali!

What? What the hell?

-What the hell, Tommy?
-Did you do this?

-What are you talking about?
-Look at the mirror.

Did you do this?

Guys, what is all the yelling?

-Some people are sleeping.
-So stupid.

Look at-- look at the mirror!

- I did not do anything--
- Look at my hand.

No one said you did anything.
Why are--

-No, there's tons of blood.
-I was just trying to sleep.

There was blood.
There was--

- Tommy.
- Well, did-- did you see it?

There's nothing there, Tommy.
You're fine, Tommy, you're fine.

See what? Your face?
Your face is--

Look at my--

Your hands look
completely normal, okay?

- You just need to get to bed.
- Enough.

You're stressed,
you're stressed.

I mean, it was--
it was there.

Honey, it was a bad dream.
No, there's nothing there.

You're fine, okay?

-Can we just go back to bed?
-Get back to bed.

Come on.
Let's go to bed. Come on.

Please.

25 years old

and still having
goddamn childhood nightmares.

Damn it!

Honey.

Not now, Meredith.

This is your fault.

I-- I'm-- I'm sorry?

You're sorry?

You're sorry?

I'm sorry.

Out of whiskey.

I'll go out
and get some.

Not this late you won't.

Well, I-- I drive at night
all the time when you're away.

You're not going nowhere.

Understand me?

You're right.

-You're right.
-Good.

Would you hit a shot?

What a joke.

God.

Let's go, let's go!

Jesus Christ.

What the fuck
are you doing here?

The fuck are you
gonna do with that?

How is the first
assignment going?

Well, I'm-- I'm just reviewing
some of these documents.

Uh, is-- is there
anything in particular

that I should be
looking for?

Old cases
that never got resolved.

We've hit dead ends
for years because...

as lawyers, we are bound
to ethical practices.

You, on the other hand,
haven't taken the bar, so...

technically,
you're not a lawyer yet.

Well, e-- excuse me.

Are you asking me
to do something unethical?

I would never
ask you to do that.

I just know you'll do whatever
it takes to be successful here.

I need you
to give me a summary

on all the witness accounts
of the unresolved cases.

I'll be in my office
but only till 6:00.

Why? Why? Why? Why?

What?

Something...

I think I found
something interesting.

Uh, the cases
you gave me,

uh, four of them
happened in River Oaks.

And, uh, after doing
a little discovery,

I found that the maid
that was poisoned

might have been involved
in a kidnapping,

um, of young women.

I found a--
a photo of her

with one of the victims.

Uh, and also I--
I found this.

Um, I think
it might be worth reopening

and turning it over
to, uh, detectives.

Great work.

I am interested in your take
on the other files,

particularly
the hit-and-run case.

Um...

That one, uh, really
didn't have much to go on...

...informational, uh, wise.

But, um,
but it appears to be

that the, uh--

the v-- the victim's file,
uh, is missing.

I don't want you distracted
with the big picture.

I need you to focus

on who was driving
the SUV.

Uh, yes, ma'am.

Hey, Tommy.

Jane's on a diet,

but I'm still gonna grab
some grub at Jim and Pete's.

You want to tag along?

Uh, yeah.

Oh, well, um...

maybe not,
I-- I think I've--

I think
I just stumbled onto something.

Yeah, I promise
you can trip over it again

once you get back.

Your epiphany's
not going anywhere,

but my Tesla is, so.

-Tesla?
-Mm-hmm.

I guess you don't have to worry
about gas.

You know,
you just started here.

So you haven't been introduced

to the two main facts
of working here.

Oh, which are?

One you get to set
your own hours and lunch.

- And two?
- And two,

Jim and Pete's has
the best cheesy bread.

Wow.

- You weren't kidding.
- I know, right?

It's got, like,
ten layers of cheese on it.

-So good.
-Monstrous.

Like that box of files
Kristen gave me.

I saw that.

She gave you
the baptism by fire.

But you seem to be ripping
through it pretty fast though.

Yeah, I-- thanks I-- I guess.

You know,
I just can't help but feel like

if those poor bastards
had Google,

they could have
figured it out themselves.

I'm not so sure about that.

It takes a keen eye.

You know,
this job isn't for everyone.

It takes a toll,
you know what I mean?

Yeah, I-- I guess.

It's just crazy to think...

Bryce was just
interviewing for my job,

and now he's sitting
in a morgue.

So were your two friends?

No, no.

He-- he was a--
he was a huge asshole.

Even in high school.

Stupid thing.

Do you need help?

Yeah.

Mine gets stuck
like that all the time.

I think these lockers
are from, like, 1812.

Thanks.

I like your backpack.

Yo, what the fuck, man?

You're really gonna help
this weirdo?

Yo, come on, Bryce.

'Cause if you do,
people might start

calling you
Hoppy Tommy again.

Hoppy Tommy and Mouse Milly.

You two freaks
are perfect for each other.

Yeah, well,
what did she ever do to you?

Like, can you just lay off?

Look at the loser

falling for his
little girlfriend?

-I'm so sorry.
-No, I'm-- I'm fine.

Bryce is a huge dick.

Um, are you okay?

It's-- it's fine.
Just a little blood.

I'm Milly.

Tommy.

Tommy, do you like the rain?

I don't really know
anyone that likes rain.

Well, now you know
somebody who does.

The only person
that liked Bryce was Bryce.

Sounds like it was pretty rough
when you were younger, huh?

Um, that's how
I remember it.

But nothing that

endless breadsticks can't fix.

Or a delicious bite
of cheesy bread?

Yeah.

Should we be worried?

What do you think?

Kali.

Kali.

Kali.

Kali.

Kali.

Jesus!

Sorry.

What happened to your face?

No, I-- I'm fine.

- Where's Kali?
- I don't know--

Why are you guys
in my room?

Why are you wearing
my clothes?

I have one, too.

Oh, my God, did you fuck
a mountain lion or something?

I-- I-- I just was--

You look like shit.

You should
definitely take a Xanax.

Oh, yeah.

That's what my friends do.

Yeah, your friends
are hardly normal.

Tommy, let's-- let's
get you cleaned up, okay?

No, look, I'm-- I'm fine.

You're not fine. You have
scratches all over your face.

- Linds--
- Tommy, just let me--

- I'm fine.
- It'll help the swelling.

Look, it's gonna hurt, but hold.
It's cold, I know.

Morning, I got
some fresh bagels, I made eggs.

Scrambled, of course,
you know, I can't--

Honey, what happened?

I'm fine.

Ah, it looks worse than it is.

I told him

not to go drinking
last night, but...

You went out last night?
I didn't even hear you leave.

Look, Mom,
I-- I've had

a really rough night, and I...

I just want something
to drink and go to work.

You know,
now I'm concerned about you

for a different reason.

Your father is worried as well.

We just don't think this firm
is the best thing for--

Well, it's a good thing
you two don't work there.

You started this job
two days ago,

and it is obvious to me
that it is having

a negative impact on your
mental and physical health.

You're-- you're not
sleeping enough,

you're not eating,
and now you come home

with cuts
all over your face?

Mom, it's not the job

that's the problem, Mom.

It's Dad.

I can't stand
to live here anymore.

And I...

I-- I-- I don't know
how you stand it either.

Please show
some respect, you two.

-I do!
-I do show respect.

That's all
I've done my whole life,

and now he makes me feel
like I'm not worthy enough

to be Dan Olson's son.

Tommy, that is not true, okay?

He loves you.

He loves you.

He loves nothing.

Tommy, he loves our family.

-He loves this family.
-Mom, just stop.

- He loves our family!
- Mom. Mom.

Listen to me. Stop.

I'm gonna go talk to him.
Just stay here.

Tommy. Tommy, wait up.

Tommy.

Sorry about Mom.

She's just trying to help.

Well, she's not.
What is it? I'm late for work.

Look, she's a mom.

She's supposed to be worried,
it's her job.

Oh, God, Tommy,
you need a new bandage.

- I'm fine.
- Look...

I want you to call him.

- Dr. Gunderson?
- He helped me.

When?

When we were kids.

You're probably
too young to remember.

Things I don't want to remember
about our parents.

You know,
I have gone entire sessions

where people
don't say a word.

You don't have to talk
if you don't want to.

I'm happy to just
share this time.

I don't know how
this is supposed to work, so--

Well, all right.

How about we start with...

what can I do for you?

Well, I've-- I've been
having these nightmares,

and I just
kind of want you to, um...

just...

pull them out of my memory

or-- or get me to forget,

or I-- I don't even know, help.

Okay, um...

It sounds like
you've experienced some trauma.

I don't know.

Um, maybe, I...

Well, uh,
perhaps instead of

trying to forget things
that happened,

we should help you
remember things

you've locked away
so we can work through them.

My sister said
that you could help me.

Ah, yes.
Lindsay, right?

Yes.

Well, then,
with your permission...

I'll just ask you
a few questions,

and perhaps we can

get a deeper understanding

into what's on your mind.

Well...

yeah, uh, um, sure.

Um, what do you have to do?

Like, wave a watch
or something, um--

Just don't tell me you, like,
it's count back from ten

or some
breathing yoga thing.

No, not exactly.

I'm gonna ask you
three questions...

while you listen
to this metronome.

Should-- should I close my eyes?

It's up to you.

I'm just going to ask you

about a moment
with someone who hurt you,

a moment
with someone you hurt,

and a moment with someone
who made you feel safe.

Easy. Calm down. It's okay.

Jesus, son, you're ice cold.

Some-- some--
some-- someone hit her.

Hey, slow down, easy.

Who hit who?
Are you in trouble?

I-- I-- I don't know.

I don't--
I don't know what to do.

We-- we were walking
on the street

and then--
and then she was gone.

- Who was gone?
- The girl.

The girl.
We have to call the--

What girl?

The girl from school.

Did anybody see you?

I-- I-- I don't know.

I-- I-- She-- she--

she said--
I-- I just left her.

Yeah, yeah.

Okay, okay, it's gonna be okay.

You're not getting
in any trouble, all right?

All right?

We have to call the police.

It's you and me, son.

Anything bad happens,
you always talk to me first.

Can you see me?

I'm sorry, Tommy,
I don't think I can help you.

And I would like you
to leave, please.

What do you mean?
We just started.

I-- I-- I am not comfortable.

-I--
-Dr. Gunderson, please.

I can't treat you.

What do you--
what do you mean?

Good luck.

Please. Leave.

Tommy.

- Hey.
- Hi.

Yeah, don't mind me, I'm just
admiring your board here.

So, did you find
the Zodiac Killer?

Not yet.

Oh, mm. Oh, my God.

This place is crazy.

Jesus.

I like to think of it
as organized chaos.

Organized chaos?
Yeah, Kristen don't do that.

Look, I can't even read this.

Well, I mean,
it's not really meant

for anyone else but me.

No, you work at a firm now.

Anything you say or do

can and will be used
against you.

I appreciate the Miranda.

Welcome to the club.

Hey, detective.

- Hey.
- Got some more for you.

Making any headway
on the hit-and-run?

Kind of. I, um...

I recently found out

that the doctor that made
the report was a Barbara Simms.

Uh, I saw her on the news.

She had been murdered.

Great.

Guess we won't be able
to re-interview her.

Tommy, you okay?

These cases are--

Tommy, what the hell
are you doing?

You're not gonna
tell anyone, are you?

No, I won't...

if you give me a hit.

I didn't know you smoked.
Here.

You don't.
You don't smoke, do you?

Aren't you worried
about the staff finding out?

No.

Nobody cares.
Neither do I.

Having a bad day?

I just needed something
to take the edge off.

Oh, I am not fucking okay.

I think I recognized
that girl in the photo.

The one in the hallway?

No, the one on her desk.

Wait, you--
you told me on my first day

that you--
you didn't see anything?

Yeah, I-- I acted like
I didn't see anything

because nobody
would believe me.

Jane thought
I was fucking crazy.

Do you know who she is?

Of course I do.

She was the one I replaced.

Damn.

Fuck, what the fuck is going on?

We have
some more somber news

in regards
to the ongoing murders...

It's like
The Purge out there.

Yeah, tell me about it,
you try selling a home

in this murder market.

Tommy, will you take this
jacket off so I can iron it?

It's like you slept in it.

My name
is Kit Cabello...

Your hair's a mess.

- Mom, stop.
- Guys.

Trying to listen.

Brutal discovery this morning
as a man identified

as Owen Moxley
was found decapitated

underneath a vehicle
in his auto repair shop.

I don't know, Kit, this stuff

is really getting
scary and brutal.

What do you make
of all of this?

As reports
are still coming in,

we want to let everyone know
that there was at least

100 stolen catalytic converters,

and, with some new evidence
coming in as well,

there's shows
of evidence of forged...

Do you guys
know him or something?

No, no, I'm just

taken aback
by how horrific it is.

In the meanwhile, everybody,

just take care
of yourselves and each other.

Uh, let's change
the channel, okay?

Moxley was acquitted
from the chop shop case.

And he knew Kristen and--

- Tommy?
- Oh, uh, hey.

I-- I didn't--
didn't hear you, uh--

It's okay.

You're obviously
distracted by your work.

Yeah.

No, you're-- you're not
gonna believe this, but, uh...

your mom
used to work with my dad.

What are you talking about?

What are you--

Tommy!
Tommy, are you okay?

I'm-- I'm-- I'm good.
I'm-- I'm-- I'm good.

- It's okay-- I'm-- I'm here.
- I'm sorry-- No, uh--

-I-- I'm--
-Are you okay?

Sorry. Uh, I'm--

- What is--
- No, I'm-- I'm-- I'm good.

You know, everybody keeps saying
they want to help me,

and-- and-- and it's making me
feel like I'm going crazy.

You know, I-- I keep
having these nightmares,

and they--
they feel so-- so real--

and I'm-- I'm seeing things.

It's like
you're in the driver's seat.

But someone
has your arms down...

and has a crushing grip
on your throat.

Yeah, my grandma used to say
that dreams and nightmares

have the same people in them.

We must make Dad happy.

Dad?

-Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you okay?
-Yeah.

I'm sorry, I-- I just
haven't been myself lately.

No, it's--
it's okay. It's okay.

I'm-- I'm-- I'm here.

And, look, we're--
we have each other's back.

-Right?
-Yeah.

Everything's gonna be okay.

Tommy?

Tommy?

I'm sleeping.

Clearly, you're awake
if you're responding.

Tommy, I just want
to make sure you're okay.

Why, um...

Why-- why did you lie?

Why-- why didn't you tell me

that you and dad knew Kristen?

Did-- did she--
did she work for him?

I-- At dinner,
you two made it seem

like this was just some--
some crappy little law firm,

but that's not--
that's not true, is it, Mom?

Tommy, the truth is complicated.

- Complicated?
- Yeah, it's complicated

and I wish--

I wish
that I could tell you...

but I can't, so, um,

all you need to know
is that I love you, okay?

Well, I-- I love you too,
Mom, but I am--

I-- I-- I'm-- I'm done
with this, you know?

I, um, yeah,

I'm gonna go to bed.

Come on, motherfucker,
do you know who I am?

Hey,
it's gonna be all right, son.

Take care of this for me,
will you, Sheriff?

Always do.

Another suspected murder

in a suburb of Chicago.

More details coming up.

...once again
grips our small town

as a brutal beating turned
drowning has taken another life.

The victim has been identified

as our long-time
standing law official,

Sheriff Victor Evans.

The color
of the vehicle?

Like, it was pouring.

Like, it was like
a black Escalade or something.

Did you get
a good look at the driver?

- I, uh--
- Hey, Jeff.

Why don't you grab some lunch.
I got this.

Thank you, sir.

Hi. Sheriff Evans.

So--

You said, black Escalade?

- Yes.
- Okay. Gotcha.

Where were we?

Hey, Tommy.
How are you doing, champ?

Are you okay, kid?

A-- a-- a family emergency.
I have to go.

Yeah, sure.

- Sorry.
- Uh-huh.

- Hey.
- Hey, uh, Liv.

Do you know
what's going on with Tommy?

Uh, yeah.
Yeah, actually, I-- I do.

Well,
would you mind filling me in?

Because the kid needs help.

He just ran out of here

like he saw a ghost
or something.

I-- you know,
Kevin, I'm sorry, but I--

I just don't think
you'd understand.

Excuse you?

But he does need help.

Where-- where--
where's Lindsay?

- I don't know, freak.
- Where is she?

Hey, what the hell, asshole?

-Look, someone...
-Give that back.

...is trying to kill me.

Okay, and I'm gonna kill you
if you don't give me my phone.

What's going on in here?

I don't know,
Tommy's on his period.

All right. Get out.

Both of you. Out.

Look, I-- I just--
I need a minute.

I need-- I need a place
where I-- I-- I feel safe.

Tommy,
you seriously need to calm down.

You're waking up
in the middle of the night,

leaving,
sneaking out of the house,

making noises in your room.

You're falling apart.

Look, I am falling apart!

You know, you-- you say--

you say that I-- I'm-- I'm--
I'm-- I'm sneaking out,

like I-- I--
but that's just it.

I don't remember.

There are-- are...

gaps in my memory.

Okay, so you have amnesia.

That is not what I'm saying.

May-- maybe it is.

Okay. Okay. So, you admit it.

Tell me
where you're going at night.

-Like, what are you doing?
-I don't know.

- It's drugs, isn't it?
- What? No.

-No.
-I'm not gonna tell mom and dad.

No, it's not drugs!

Did you even call
that doctor I recommended?

Tommy, you look at yourself,
you have all this pent-up anger.

You're yelling at Mom, you're--

I am coming to you.

I-- I'm coming to my sister.

I-- I can't trust anyone,
and-- and...

you know,
I-- I've-- I've tried.

I've tried.

You know, and...

You know, I did--
I did what you told me to do!

It didn't work.

It's okay.

Barbara...

and Sharon...

Bryce.

I killed them...

didn't I?

I killed them.

I'm-- I'm--
I'm going to go to jail.

Do you remember the carousel?

Remember that black, white
crazy hat that I wore?

Oh, yeah.

I wanted to ride the horse
into the sunset.

And do you remember
what you said to me?

"Just hang on.

-Hang on till the end."
-That's right.

And that's what I think
you should do.

Just hang on.

Just hang on.

I'm not gonna let
anyone hurt you.

How?

I don't know.

But what I know...

you're going to be okay.

I promise.

Look...

why don't you clean yourself up?

Splash your face...

and we'll talk through it
together.

911.
What's the emergency, please?

What are you doing?

- Nothing.
- Who are you calling?

I was just
gonna charge my phone.

Who are you calling?
Were you calling that doctor?

No! What? Tommy!

What the fuck--

Come on, Tommy!

Tommy, what the hell
is wrong with you?

Lindsay, Lindsay!
Lindsay, are you okay?

O-- Olivia,
some-- something just

something just happened to me.

Tommy.

It's happening to Dad.

- Dad? Where are you?
- Tommy?

What do you want me to see?
What is it? What's going on?

Come down here,

-I'll show you.
-Hello?

Hello?

Mom?

Mom?

Mom?

Hey.

Mom, where are you going?

Shit.

Mom?

Come back.

Tommy? Tommy? Guys!

Let me in!

Mom!

Mom, Tommy!
Lindsay-- Lindsay's really hurt.

Please, help!

Mom.

Tommy.
I'm so glad you're here.

Please help.
I need your help.

Wai-- wait.

Support your
goddamn mother down here.

We think she's high on drugs.

I need to talk to Tommy!

I need to talk to Tommy!

- Please be careful.
- Olivia.

You--
you know this woman?

Yeah, I-- I--
I work with her.

Son, call the cops.

Wait, no, it's--

Where did that little bitch go?

I have a story to tell.

Oh, sorry.

Sorry.

Um, sorry.

Sorry.

Hey, freak.

No weirdos allowed.

Everybody else in school
was invited.

Well, nobody wants you here.

So, how about we take a vote?

Hey, Bryce.

You really shouldn't talk to her
like she's dirt.

I'll talk to her however I want.

You know what, forget it.
Let's go to my place.

Yeah, let's go.

But, Bryce, it's raining.

I don't care
about the rain.

Little rain
never slowed anybody down.

Let's go.

All right. Let's do it.

Wait!

I don't wanna
walk home alone either.

Um, yeah. Sure.

Bryce, where the fuck is Tommy?

Who gives a fuck about Tommy?

Do you have any beer
at your house?

Of course I have beer.

Ah, shit!
Bryce, it's raining, come on!

Hey, wait.

Oh, my God,
I can't believe this.

Here. Fetch.

- Bryce, come on.
- Tommy, let's go.

You don't have to go with them.

I gotta go.

Fine. Fuck you then!

Fuck you!

- Get up.
- No! Get off me!

You better listen to me, boy.

You--
you need to listen to me.

I saw everything.

You did this.

The hell are you talking about?

That-- that--
that day in the rain.

When-- when I--
when I came to your office.

Excuse me, boy?

You heard me.

You're the damn problem.

You're bringing drug addicts
into the house,

living off my dime.

You know, it's always
about money with you.

I'm sorry that I'm a failure,

that I didn't live up
to the Dan Olson dream.

I don't even know
who I am anymore!

You're my son.

I'm not your son.

You're ashamed of me.

I did it for my family.

Please don't. Dan, don't.

You both never know
when to stop.

You just stay out of this.

You are a fucking disgrace.

Well, you're a murderer.

You killed--- you--
you killed that girl!

And you--
and you paid the sheriff

and the mechanics to just--
to just cover it up!

You lied to me.

I-- I came--

I came
to your office to-- to--

for your help.

Not for this!

You did this.

You-- you made me a criminal.

-I lied to you.
-You did it for yourself.

I did it for your mother.

She was driving, not me.

-Mom, is this true?
-Tommy.

Tommy.

No, don't touch me!
Don't touch me!

Tommy, I'm sorry.

Tommy, Tommy, please. Tommy.

Tommy, look at me.

Tommy.

Please, Tommy. Tommy.

Get away from me!

Tommy.

I'm sorry.

I forgive you.

No, no, no, no, no.
You were driving. You did it.

I didn't do anything.

You're so fucking jealous
and stupid.

It's all on you.
I don't think you fucking--

This is on you. This is on you.

Dan. Dan. Dan.

Dan? Dan.

Dan.
What happened to your father?

Tommy, what-- what--
what happened to your father?

Dan, say something.

Put your hands
on top of your head.

Let's go.

It was me.
It was-- it was-- it was me.

It was me.

Tommy, I'm so sorry.

You requested to see me?

I have a favor to ask.

You don't get
any fucking favors.

What if I confess
to the rest of them?

What do you want in return?

Spare Tommy.

You and I both know
he's suffered enough.

You're willing
to let the person

who attacked
all those other people

walk free?

You know, Meredith,

I have been waiting a long time
for this.

Me standing
right where I am...

and you standing
right where you are.

I have, too.

But from where I'm standing...

all I see is a mother
without a daughter.

You know,
none of this would have happened

if you hadn't fucked my husband
and had that hideous child.

You be careful in there.

Uh,
Lindsay decided not to come?

I think it was too soon.

Here.

What's this?

Oh, it's everything you'll need.

Uh, house, accounts.

Yeah.

Just because dad was like this

does not mean
that you have to be, too.

Kal, I'm cursed.

Everyone I get close to...

ends up hurt
or-- or-- or worse.

And I-- I love you.

And I-- I just--

I-- I-- I just
can't be around you...

or anyone.

Uh, I-- I think it's best
if I just disappeared.

Um...

Look, don't come looking for me.

I, uh...

this is goodbye.

Tommy. Wait!

I said stop, you ass.

Everything that I...

that we've been through,
it's just--

Listen,
I know that there are things

that we will never be able
to understand.

But you're my brother.

And we're the only family
that we have left.

I-- I-- I just...

I could never forgive myself.

What are you gonna
tell her then?

I'd tell Olivia the same thing.

But I don't think
she'd get it.

I'm sorry, Kal...

but this is goodbye.

One minute until lights out.
