Washed Away (2017) - full transcript

After the death of her husband, a woman tries to get on with her life, but during a business trip she spots him alive and comes to realize that he faked his death.



(underwater reveberation)

(laughing)

Brook: Carson, don't tell
that story again.

No, Brook, you love
it when I tell people

how amazing you
looked in that bikini.

No, no, no, come on.

We're not in a frat
house, please break it up.

No.

Ugh, come on,
it's their anniversary.

No, I'm good.



So, twenty years.

How'd you do it?

A lot of hard
work and commitment.

Carson:
No, really though.

(laughing)

Brook?

Shut up, Carson.

That was a great dinner, Brook.

Yeah, thank you.

Yeah, no worries.

Are you two looking forward
to your romantic getaway?

We are, actually.

(phone buzzing)

Hmm.



Yes, we are.

Are you sure you're
okay having Lexa here?

Oh yeah, of course!

I need a shopping buddy.

You guys have an anniversary
coming up, don't you?

Ugh, that's nothing
compared to yours.

Well, they say in a lot of ways

the first few years
are the hardest.

After that then you've got
the commitment to make it work.

Downhill.

Yep.

(laughs)

Carson: So you
two are going to

spend two whole days
doing what, exactly?

Well, I'm probably going
to stay up nights worrying

about my clients
but other than that...

Okay, technically, our clients.

No, no.

And it's the weekend.

Here we go, shop talk.

Carson:
No, no, no...

I agree.

You two spend enough
time together at the office.

Uh-uh.

Yes!

No.

Brook:
This is family time.

So, tell us all about your
fabulous plans for the weekend.

Gabby made all the plans.

The only thing I know
is kayaking is involved.

You're gonna spend
two days on the water?

Yeah, pretty much.

She's gonna show me some
awesome standing waves, come on.

Brook: Right.

You were a kayaking champion.

That was a long time ago.

No!

Didn't you have a nasty
accident or something?

Gabby: I did.

I still have the life
jacket that saved me.

Parker:
Hanging in the garage.

Well, on that note.

Um, it's getting late and we
have an early morning tomorrow.

Would you sto...

No, no, no.

It's late.

I'm good.

Look who's here.

Hey!

Lex, are you good?

Sure, Mom, I was watching TV.

Uncle Carson has a
popcorn machine.

Oh, wow then you are set.

Lexa loves popcorn.

She thinks it's a food group.

So you're gonna be my good girl
and you can call us anytime.

We'll be back late
Sunday afternoon, okay?

Don't worry about me, I'm fine.

Have fun though.

Okay, we will.

Muah.

Brook: Yeah,
don't worry about us.

You just have a great time.

We will, right?

Yep.

So, you two be
careful on the river.

We always are.

Parker: How about
one more hug?

Just one more.

Sorry, I'm squeezing.

Alright, good night.

Night.

Bye.

Carson: Parents are gone
for the weekend,

let her live a little bit.

No I'm good, we're done!

Hey, it's late.

Really.

Come on, don't be silly.

You used to be fun.

(gasp)

You are horrible!





Parker:
Wow, look at that.

Gabby: I uh, I had
the Ranger help me.

(sigh)

Does he do windows?

(laughs)

This is really nice, Gabby.

Remember the first time
that we ever came here?

Yeah, I remember.

We were so happy.

(phone dings)

Yeah, you were scared.

True.

Yeah, well, let's get this
show on the road, shall we?

Let me show you how
a real kayaker does things.

Oh, yeah, right.

(laughs)



Gabby: Parker.

No, no, no we had an agreement.

You said this weekend was fine.

I told you that this
weekend was off limits...

Come on!

Let's go!

Yeah.

Parker!

No, there is no...

Thought you were
gonna teach me how it's done?



Parker: Sorry.

You ready?

Parker: Yeah,
yeah, let's do it.

Let's go.



Lexa would love this.

She's old enough now,
we can take her out.

You know, maybe get
her some lessons?

Summer break...

Yeah that'd be a good idea.

Yeah!

Summer break's coming,
we could go camping.

I think she'd enjoy it.

Parker: Yep.

Gabby: You gonna
take a photo?

Smile!

Gabby: You remembered
the waterproof case, huh?





(sigh)

The water was great today.

Not too crazy.

Mm!

Yeah, it was definitely
a lot calmer

than you described
it before, though.

We should do this more often.

Hmm.

And leave your phone behind.

Unfortunately, we can't.

Clients!

They watch the stock market,

and must share their
concerns right away.

Parker...

Are we okay?

It's just work.

I've been busier than usual.

I know.

I just-even when we're at
home, you seem disconnected.

We're fine, Gab...

No, we're not.

Gabrielle, what do
you want me to do?

It's my job.

I have a job too but you
don't see me on the phone.

It's different.

Your clients love you.

Well, I love you.

Hmm?

Come on.

Maybe I can show you how much.





Parker: Gabby!

(laughing)

Parker: Woo!

It's a little tricky
around this bend.

Are you kidding?

This is what
I've been hoping for.

(laughs)

You go, I'll be
right behind you.

Alright, but once we start,
we're committed.

Trust me, I can handle it.

Follow close!

Hold on a second.



Gabby!

Smile.

Good one.

Perfect!

Come on!



Woo!





Ooh!

(laughs)



Parker?



Parker!



Parker?!



Oh, god.

Oh my god.

Oh no.



Parker!

Parker!

Parker!







Officer: Detective,
the wife's at the cabin.



Asher: Mrs. Langston?

I'm Detective Blackton.

Call me Asher.

Why is this taking so long?

Did you find Parker?

No.

No sign of him yet.

Can I ask you a few questions?

I can't stand waiting here.

If they let me back on the river
I could go further downstream...

Our search teams know every
rock and turn of this river.

How long has your
husband been kayaking?

A few years.

He used to do it just for me,
but I think he likes it now.

And was he a good swimmer?

Yeah, he was a good swimmer.

He could be out there
on those rocks; freezing.

I know it's hard
to sit and wait,

but we're doing the best we can.

Just please find him.

Please.





I got something over here.

Gabby: Oh no.

Officer: We got something!



Gabby: His life jacket.



(sobbing)



(gasping)



(sobbing)





Mom?

Where's dad?

There's been an accident.

No!

I love you so much.

(sobbing)

It's gonna be okay.

Brook: I'm sorry.





Hi, Detective?

It's Gabrielle.

I was just calling to see
if-If there was any news?

Okay.

Thank you.





Asher: Gabrielle.

I'm sorry.

We couldn't find him.

It's been 2 weeks.

Search and Rescue has
already been out there

longer than they normally would.

We did everything we could.

So that's it?

He could still be out there-

Gabrielle, if he was,
we would have heard from him.

Somebody would have seen him.

We've actually been on
a recovery operation

the last week.

I thought you knew that.

I don't believe it.

Parker's not dead.

Where's his body?

It's Search and Rescue's
opinion that his...

His body was pulled under a rock
and we may never recover it.

The team found this.

Still works.

I'm sorry.



Let me know if there's
anything I can do to help.





(distant chatter)

(birds chirping)





(clears throat)

Detective Blackton.

I wanted to pay my respects.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

I know what you did.

I'm sorry?

Parker didn't even
want to go on that trip.

That's not true.

You forced him into
that dinky little boat.

No, I didn't.

Yes, you did!

Guest: Carson!

If it wasn't for you,
he'd still be alive.

Excuse me.



(grunts mockingly)





Hi.

I'm Detective Blackton.

And you're the
sister-in-law of the deceased?

Right.

Thank you.

You didn't have to do that.

Ah.

What was that all about?

Oh that?

Nothing.

He's just...

Carson had a
little too much to drink.

Hmm.

(crash)

Excuse me.

Carson!

For goodness sakes.

I'm fine!

I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine...

Can you stop drinking so much?

What is your problem?

This is your brother's funeral.

It's fine.

It's a celebration of life.

Brook: Can you be a little
respectful today?

Just a little bit...

Just go back to your friends.

Enough.

Don't touch me!

You're embarrassing me.



(sniffles)

Mom?

Mom.

Mhm?

Are you okay?

Mhm.

Mom, it wasn't your fault.

What if it was?

It was my idea to go.





(birds chirping)

(sizzling)

Oh, hey.

I didn't hear you get up.

I am going back to work today.

Are you ready?

It's been two months
since the funeral.

If I spend one more day in my
pajamas, I'm gonna kill myself.

I'm sorry...

That came out wrong.

If I'm alone with
my thoughts any longer...

We'll get through this.

Okay?

I love you.

Will you drive me to school?

Okay, now
you're just workin' it.

(laughs)

Alright, maybe just this once.

(grunts playfully)

(laughing)

Yum!



(phone ringing)

(knocking)

It's so nice to have you back.

Thanks, Nikki.

You did a great job.

I can't thank you...

Now, just
bring me up to speed so

I can do something
other than cry.

(birds chirping)

(birds chirping)

Lexa: Hey, what's up?

Hey!

I'm looking for your mom.

She went back to work today.

Oh, okay.

How are you doing, Lex?

I miss you.

Okay.

Yeah?

Do you want to come in?

No, that's okay.

I've gotta get going,

but can you give your mom
a message for me?

Mhm!



Gabby: Wow!

I'm impressed.

You know the lasagna
was in the freezer, Mom.

You cooked it.

I know, but still...

I appreciate it.

How was work?

Good!

Busy.

But good busy.

I'd forgotten what it was
like to talk to people.

(laughs)

Who's Genna Koch?

Where did that come from?

Auntie Brook came by.

She said to call her.

Uhh...

Genna is our insurance
broker and financial advisor.

After the funeral,

the lawyers wanted to
disburse the insurance...

I wasn't able
to get to it, but I will.

I guess she called Carson.

Or Brook.

Nikki: If you're
not ready, I can go.

Let me help you.

Look, it's important for our
clients see that we're...

That I'm okay.

And besides,
it's already arranged.

Lexa's going to Parker's mom's

and I could really use
a bit of a break.

(knocking)

I'm early.

Sorry.

Oh, Genna, come on in.

Hi.

Thank you for coming by.

I'm still catching up.

Ah, no problem.

Of course, you are.

So, I don't understand.

We already had a
generous life insurance policy.

Why would Parker take out a
new policy without telling me?

Oh.

You knew nothing about it?

No.

I know that Carson and Parker's
company wasn't doing as well

as it once did, but maybe he
just wanted to a back up plan.

Well, the two policies were
worth five million dollars.

Wait.

I thought the old policy
was mainly for the business.

Genna: It was.

Parker changed it, um...

Three months
before the accident.

You are the sole beneficiary.

Does Carson know?

Yes.

He came in to talk
about the policy.

He was very...

Surprised.

Parker was a good man.

He just wanted to take
care of you and Lexa.

I still can't believe he's gone.

That's why I...

couldn't deal with this.

I'm sorry it took me so long.

It's okay.

Um, it's just one signature
there right at the bottom.

And it might take a week or so

for the funds to transfer
to your account.

I don't care about the money.

I just...

Thank you for
your patience with me, Genna.

Genna: Okay, perfect.

Okay.

I guess that's it.

Take care.



(plane descends)

Gabby: Nikki,
I'm-I'm fine.

Everything is fine.

I'm okay.

I'll fill you in
when I get back.



I have to go.

Parker?

Parker!



Parker?





(crickets chirring)

No, seriously, I'm fine.

Everything went great.

The client signed on
for another two year term.

You know, I think I'm just
more tired than I realized.

I might take tomorrow off.

Okay.

Thanks Nikki.





Carson: Didn't you have a nasty
accident or something?

Gabrielle: I did.

I still have the life
jacket that saved me.

Parker: Hanging
in the garage.



(sigh)

Detective?

Do you have a minute?

Yeah.

Yeah, of course.

Uh, this is my partner, Donna.

Gabrielle.

Hi.

How are you?

I'm coping.

Uh, there's-there's no news...

I figured you would
have called if there was.

But I was wondering
about Parker's life jacket.

What about it?

I'd like to look at it.

Really?

The damage on
his jacket was severe.

Yes.

Exactly.

I've been in accidents before,
been dragged under water

and I've only ever once
ripped a life jacket.

And the water was low.

When the water's high you're
less likely to hit the rocks.

What're you getting at?

Can I see it?

I'm not sure
where this is going.

Did you have an
expert look at it?

Not to my knowledge.

But it's pretty
obvious what happened here.

A novice kayaker went into
waters he wasn't used to.

No...

He was better than you think.

I understand that you've
been through a difficult time.

No, you don't.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

We're confident there
wasn't anything suspicious

about your husband's death.

Maybe you'd like to speak to
one of our grief counselors.

Let me get a card.







What are you looking for?

I'm not sure yet.



I thought you were
taking the day off?

I was restless.

I figured I'd be
better off here.

Sure.

You want to get a coffee?

Thanks, I'm-I'm okay.

You're not okay.

What is it?

When I was in San Francisco
I was walking through the Wharf.

Mhm.

Nikki, I thought I saw Parker.

That's impossible
you know that, right?

I know it's not possible.

But I saw a man,
and when I called his name,

he turned his head and
he disappeared into the crowd.

What reason would
he have to do that?

I don't know.

I just know what I saw.

Mm mm.

Or think you saw.

Think about it,
why would he do that?

Maybe he didn't want
to be with us anymore.

Oh, honey.

Parker loved you guys.

You know that.

He would never do
anything like that.

Your life was
perfect with Parker.

There were no signs of
any trouble, were there?

I'm not sure.

I have to go.



Carson: That's it,
just walk away.

Just keep walking.

You're watching ten
good years get smaller

in your rear view mirror.

Get outta here!

Don't trip.

Gabrielle.

What can I do for you?

Is everything okay?

What do you want?

How's the company doing?

That's why you came down here,
to ask how the company's doing?

You could have just called me.

Well, I'm here.

So, how's it doing?

Not well.

I don't know
what Parker told you,

but we're not as solvent
as we once were.

Parker was different the
last couple of months.

He'd be on the phone a lot after
work and I...

He would go into the study and
I'd hear him yell sometimes.

Do you have any idea
who that might have been?

No, I really don't.

Gabrielle, I'm really busy...

You know that if you
needed help any time I would...

I don't need any
marketing advice.

Thanks.

That's not what I meant...

Parker may have left
you his shares

and let's not forget
the insurance money.

But he left me
the company to run.

I'm still the CEO, and I don't
think the board of directors

are gonna vote me
out any time soon.

So if you'd really like to help,
you can help by staying away.

Very well.

I'd like to
go through Parker's office

and take his personal things.

Ah, you can't.

I'll have them sent
to you this afternoon.

Next time, before you
come just call.

Or better yet, don't come!

(phone ringing)





Parker.

Who were you talking to?



I'd like to speak with someone
about incoming calls

to my husband's phone from June.



I have the statements,
but there's nothing on them.

Yes I have power of attorney.

23rd.

Nothing.

Thank you.





(school bell rings)





(gasp)

Mom!

Are you okay?

I didn't realize you were home.

I couldn't focus at work today.

How was school?

Um...

I miss Dad.

Come here.

Your Dad loved you very much.

Don't ever forget that.



I hope some day we
can bring Parker home.

Me too.

We'll find him.

He was such a good boy.

Not like Carson
who was a bit of a bully.

Parker was the sweet one.

He always looked after me.

When he was ten,
he started mowing lawns

just so he could
buy me presents.

Every birthday, every Christmas

he'd give me a
bottle of perfume.

That's so sweet.

Lex, could you run up to my
room and grab the other albums?

You're going to rub the
flowers off that tea cup.

(laughs politely)

Do you... Do you
think Parker was happy?

You know, with his life.

With me?

How can you ask such a thing?

He was happy.

Of course he was happy.

You had the perfect life.

I don't know, Karen.

What do you mean?

Did he ever say anything to
you, was anything bothering him?

No.

I know he spent
a lot of hours in the office

and was stressed with work.

I know he was looking forward
to your anniversary weekend.

He was.



Hey.



(laughs)

Thanks, Duane.

(typing)

(bang)

Duane?

Hello?

(door closes)

Hello?



Hello?



Hello?



Hello?

Is anyone there?



(door opens)



Who are you?

What do you want?

The building's closed.

The money, honey.

Gabby: What money?

I haven't got any.

My weekly payment.

Where is it?

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

Parker owes me a lot of money.

I'm guessing he didn't tell you.

You know, your daughter,
Lexa, she's awfully pretty.

It would be terrible if
something were to happen to her.

You leave Lexa alone.

Hey, that's up to you.

I need 300 thousand by tomorrow.

Consider it a final payment.

I'll-I'll get you your money.

All of it.

I just-I need a few days.

I need the money now.

I don't have it now.

I can get it to you by
the end of the week.

Yeah?

What happens in a week?

The broker says I'll have
Parker's insurance then.

Just please don't
hurt my daughter.



It's my account number.

You have one week
to get me the money.

Or you and your
pretty little daughter die.

You go to the cops,
you and your daughter die.

No, no!

(screams)



(car idling)

It's done.

She's already signed
the insurance papers.

We'll know when
she has the money.



Thank you.

Where's my daughter?

I need to get to her.

Take it easy.

You've had a big fall.

We've already called her.

She's with your mother-in-law.

What happened?

Nothing.

I must have fallen.

Well the janitor said he saw
someone running out of

the building in a hurry
before he found you.

Do you remember anything?

No.

I'm sorry.

It must have been a mugging.

Hm.

I see your purse is still here.

Doesn't seem like
anything's missing; that's odd.

Look, I'm sorry.

I just-I don't
remember anything.

I need to get
home to my daughter.

No, you can't drive.

I'll have someone take you home.

(clears throat)





Donna: What's up?

Something is
really starting to bug me

about this kayaking thing.

Like what?

I don't know.

First the wife wants to
look closer at something

that clearly is an accident.

And now, she's lying
about this thing

that happened earlier tonight.

Any way it could
be self-inflicted?

Yeah but why would she do that

if she's pretending
nothing happened?

Maybe she really
doesn't remember.

No.

I think she remembers.





How are you feeling?

I'm okay.

Just a little shaken up mostly.

Yeah.

The cops will get the
guy, won't they, Mom?

I hope so, honey.

Lexa: So if he didn't take your
purse, what did he want?

I have no idea.

Don't you have homework?

No.

Nice try.

(laughs)

You should really lie down.

I'm feeling a little bit better.

Brook, did Carson tell you
that I went by the office?

He mentioned it.

He said you wanted to
pick up Parker's things.

I was looking for something.

He seemed overly stressed.

He's been like that for a while.

His drinking has
become a problem.

Brooklyn, um...

I know that Parker
changed his insurance policy.

I think that might be
why Carson's mad at me.

Really?

He doesn't tell me anything.

Yeah, I saw Genna.

She told me.

Maybe I should talk to Carson.

No, you're best to
leave Carson alone.

He's got a temper.

Do you want to talk about it?

No, that's okay.

Are you sure?

Yeah, so anyways, what
were you looking for?

In what?

Parker's stuff.

You said you were
looking for Parker's stuff.

Oh it was nothing.

Nothing at all.





T.

T.

T.

T.



T.

Travis.



20 thousand dollars?





Carson: Travis?

I don't know any Travis.

What is this all about?

I don't know.

I found it in one
of Parker's calendars;

he had a standing
appointment with Travis

up until a month before he died.

Brook?

Where are those drinks?

(sigh)

Here.

I hope Lexa will come
and stay with us again.

I miss her.

She's such a good kid.

She's spending a lot
of time at Grandma's.

Brook: Ugh, poor Karen.

This has hit her hard.

Well, all of us of course.

You tell Lexa to
come over next weekend.

There's a wicked
sale at the mall.

Carson: Maybe we're getting
a little carried away

with the shopping.

C'mon, Baby.

Don't be such a killjoy.

I should go pick up Lexa.

That's a good idea.

Do you have a
problem with me, Carson?

You've been unkind to
me since Parker's death.

What you said at the funeral...

Now let's just all try
and get along.

No, I want to know what
his problem is with me.

You're my problem.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

There's a bottle of 2007
Margaux with my name on it.

I'll be in the cellar.

I hope you choke on it.

(clears throat)

Please, don't set him off.

Is he hurting you?

He's just had a lot to drink

and I really don't
want to get into it so...

You know,
just don't confront him.

I can handle it.

I just, I think it'd
be best if you left.

Okay.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Please just call me
if you feel unsafe.

Okay.

'Kay.



Genna: So, uh, the funds were
transferred this morning.

Just two final signatures.

There's the transfer
amount and today's date.

Perfect.

Thank God!

I just, I need to pay something.

Well, I better go.

Yeah, thank you for everything.

Genna: You're welcome.



Genna!

Genna: What's the matter?

Genna, the money's gone.

What do you mean?

The insurance money.

All of it.

We need to call the
police, you've been hacked.

No!

No, no, no, just...

We need to
handle this discretely.

Gabrielle, are you in trouble?

I don't know, just please
don't call the police yet.

Okay.

Promise me!

Okay.

And one more thing.

I need a line of credit.

Was your business
account cleaned out too?

No.

I just, I need more
than what's in there.

Genna: How much more?

200 thousand.

And I need it today.

I need to pay someone.

Okay.

Thank you.



So all your money is
in the Cayman Islands?

That's what Genna said.

I don't understand.

You were hacked, but
they used your passwords.

It had to have been Parker.

Parker?

What are you talking about?

It wasn't a hacker.

It was Parker.

He was the only one
who knew my passwords;

the answers to
security questions.

But how is that possible?

They never found his body.

So you're saying that
he staged his death

and then took your
insurance money?

Not the Parker I knew.

Well, maybe we didn't
know Parker at all.

I went through his calendars.

After our
anniversary date, it's blank.

There's not a single entry,

it's like he knew that
he wasn't gonna be here.

So, what will you do?

How will you get
your money back?

I don't care about the money.

I just can't believe that he
would do something like this.

Maybe there is
another explanation.

Mm.

Like what?

I went through his
phone bills too.

Nikki: What?

I went through
Parker's phone bills.

What'd you find?

Well, it's what I didn't find.

Calls I knew Parker received,

right in front of me while
we were kayaking.

What about 'em?

They're not on the bill.

So?

So he had to have
had two phones.

Nikki: Have you
told the police?

No, what are they going to do?

Investigate calls
Parker never made?

A blank calendar?

They already think I'm crazy.

Now what?



He didn't do this alone.

(knocking)

Carson: It's the middle of the
night, what do you want?

Gabby: I'm coming in.

Carson: Whoa, whoa,
wait a second!

Where is he?

Where's Parker?

Gabrielle, what the
hell is this all about?

Parker is alive, I saw him.

You know where he is, don't you?

You guys are in this together.

Carson: In what?

You are crazy, barging in
here in the middle of the night.

Gabby: Parker couldn't have
pull this off on his own.

He needed an accomplice.

And it was you!

I'm calling the police.

Go ahead!

And while you're at it,
explain to them what you did

with the money you stole
from my account.

Put the-Put the
phone down Carson.

Then tell her to see a shrink.

You have been under
a lot of stress, Gabrielle.

Gabby No.

Someone tried to kill me.

They asked me
about Parker's money.

What money?

You said that was a mugger.

Shh, just let her talk.

Why would you and
Parker do this to me?

Parker's dead.

And for all I know, you killed
him for the insurance money.

The insurance money you stole!

What?

What?

Don't act like you don't
know what I'm talking about.

The money's gone.

All of it.

I had nothing to do with that.

Genna told me that

you came to her looking for
an insurance payout.

Did you kill Parker
for his insurance?

Carson: You need help!

You're crazy!

You get her professional help
for or I'm calling the police.

Have another drink.

Why don't... Why don't
you go back to bed.

Hmm?

And I'll handle this?

(scoffs)



Where is it that you
think you saw Parker?

San Francisco.

Did you speak with him?

No, it was... It was in a crowd.

I lost him.

But it was him.

So there is a possibility that
you saw someone that

looks like him and your brain
wanted it to be Parker?

Brook, I'm not crazy.

I know what I saw.

Okay?

I think that Carson is somehow
involved and he got access

to my account numbers and
stole the insurance money.

Okay.

We'll look into
it in the morning.

There's one other thing.

Parker had another phone.

I think they've been
planning this for a long time.

Sweetie, I'm sorry.



Bay area weather.

September is here with cooler
temperatures and some fog

in the morning.

We'll have a high
of 65 and a low of...

(phone buzzing)

I've been waiting for your call.

Yeah.

Alright.



Ferry terminal.

And at the studios
it's a balmy 65 degrees.

101 across the...



(knocking)

I didn't know where else to go.

Come in.

Come in.

Sit.

Oh my...

Did he do that to you?

Uh, after you left Carson got
into a fight with me

and he was just so angry, I-I
couldn't take it anymore.

I...

He's become so violent.

I didn't know what to do.

You did the right thing.

I didn't even like
pack a bag or anything.

You're safe now, okay?

Thank you for being
my friend, Gabby.

I know that we
haven't always been close,

but I didn't know
where else to go.

It's okay, I'm here for you.

I think we should
call the police...

What?

No!

No, I just want out.

Quietly.

No police.

Okay, we'll find
you a lawyer then.

I'm so stupid like I-I
didn't even have time

to pack a toothbrush
or anything!

Well Lexa's still at Karen's and

I have a client, but I could
swing by your house later,

pick up some things
for you if you like?

With Lexa?

I don't want her to know.

She won't be with me.

And I won't tell her.

I just, I don't think it's safe.

I'm not afraid of Carson.

Okay, I'll write you a list.

It's Carson's poker night
tonight so if you go after 7,

it should be safe.

Okay.

Thank you.

It's gonna be okay.





(knocking)

Gabby: Somebody home?

(door opens)

Hello?

Carson?



Carson?

Carson?

Carson?

Carso...

(scoffs)

Carson.

Carson.

Come on, wake up.

(scoffs)

Oh my god.

(stuttering)

Carson?

Carson!? Carson!

Hang on, Carson.

Hang on.

(dialing)

Help!

Help!

I-I need an ambulance.

A man has been stabbed.

Please, help me!



(breathing heavily)





I'm fine.

When you guys leave make
sure to call the office.

Gabrielle, you all right?

I can call another ambulance.

No, just please call
Brooklyn, she's at my house.

And I'd like to wash my hands.

Yes, yes I asked
to process the evidence

and it'll only take a minute
then we'll get you a ride home.

Detective?

(clears throat)

(indistinct whispering)

We done here?

Gabrielle.

Carson was pronounced dead
on the way to the hospital.

(exhales sharply)

Gabrielle, can you
step away from the car.

What's going on?

What are you doing?

You're under arrest for murder.

You have the right
to remain silent.

Anything you say can be used
against you in a court of law...

No, I didn't kill him!

Ask Brooklyn.

She asked me to pick up some
things for her at the house.

When I got here he
was already hurt, okay?

You gotta believe me,
I didn't hurt anyone.

Please!

Just call Brook.

Did you call her?

Yeah, we did.

She said that last night you
showed up on her doorstep

at 3 o'clock in the morning,

and you physically
assaulted Carson

as you walked inside the house.

No, I...

And once inside,

you proceeded to have
an altercation with him.

Watch your head.

That is not what happened!

That's a lie!

Gabrielle.

Did you go over to
the house last night?

Yes.

And did he threaten
to call the police?

Yes, but that's not what...

(door slams)



(sighs)



(sighs)





What do you think?

Crime of passion?

It's more calculated than that.

We should look into
her husband's accident.





(door opens and closes)

I want my lawyer.

Lawyer's on his way.

This could go a lot more
smoothly for you

if you just cooperate with us.

I know how this works.

You badger me
until I tell you exactly

what you wanna hear and...

I'm not that stupid!

I never said you were.

You know, I could believe
that this was an accident,

or at least self-defense.

Carson hurt his wife,
like you said,

then he comes after
you with a knife.

You struggle then you
somehow get the knife back

from someone twice your size
and accidentally stab him.

I will only speak
with my lawyer.

Yeah, of course.

You don't have to say anything.

I'll just talk.

You see, Carson's death comes

on the heels of Parker's
mysterious death...

Gabby: Mysterious?

Well, like you said the life
jacket could not have torn

like that in high water.

Last week I couldn't even
convince you to look at it.

What's that?

The team searched
the river again.

It was stuck under a rock.

It's not mine!

What's in the Cayman's?

What?

Asher: Two airline tickets
purchased this morning.

One for you and one for Lexa.

One way tickets to
the Cayman Islands.

I didn't buy it!

They used your credit card.

You killed Parker for the money.

Brooklyn and
Carson got suspicious.

Carson threatened
to call the police.

So you killed
Carson, is Brooklyn next?

You've gotta be kidding me!?

Do I look like I'm kidding?

I heard what he
said at the funeral.

He was onto you.

And I talked to Genna Koch.

Who said that
he didn't want the theft

of your insurance money
investigated.

Gabrielle, with these two deats
it's gonna be better for you

in the long run if you confess.

I didn't kill Carson
and I didn't kill Parker.

Why would I come to you about
the damage to the life jacket?

Someone is trying to set me up.

W-Where was Brook
when Carson was killed?

I will answer that if you
tell me what happened to Parker.

I didn't kill my husband!

I think we're done here!

He's not dead.

What?

I saw him.

I think he faked his death
for the insurance money.

Where did you see him?

San Francisco.

When?

Your turn.

Brooklyn ordered
take-out from your house.

The delivery boy confirmed
that she was there

around the same time
as the murder.

Can you think of
anyone else to point to?

I don't know.

What?

What are you about to say?

Nothing.

Gabrielle, I don't know who
you're trying to protect

but at this point,
you are our prime suspect.

You are our only suspect.

You can be charged
with murder one

and if I find
that you're connected

to your husband's
death, two counts.

You'll post bond in the
morning, don't leave town.

And if you're guilty,
Gabrielle, I'll prove it.

And if I'm innocent?



(door shuts)



I almost want to believe her.

Almost.

She's good.

Or she's telling the truth.

Hey Gibbsey, you still
working in the fabric lab?

I'm gonna send
you a life jacket,

put a rush on it, will you?



(dogs barking in the distance)

(birds chirping)

(knocking)

Karen, I am so
sorry for your loss.

I don't ever want
to see you again.

What?

Wh-h... This is
all a big mistake.

I didn't hurt anyone.

Then why did the
police arrest you?

Where's Lexa?

Mom!?

Lexa, honey,
you need to come home.

I've called child
protective services.

She's not going anywhere.

(door slams)



(sigh)



(irritated sigh)

Brooklyn?

Look, I don't think
you should be here.

Why are you here?

Brooklyn, can we talk?

Look, w-when I got here,
I-I don't know what happened.

Carson was already
unconscious and bleeding.

How could you?

Maybe Carson was right,
he never really trusted you.

Why did you have such a big
insurance policy for Parker?

You know that I-I knew nothing
about the extra insurance.

All that money is gone,
I thought that Carson took it.

Yeah.

You told me.

You made me believe your lies.

I thought I could trust you.

I thought you wanted to help me,
not kill my husband!

I would never kill...

And with Carson gone now,
you own the company.

You've done quite well
for yourself, Gabrielle.

Don't come near me again,
or I'll get a restraining order.

This is-This is
like a bad dream.

It's like a nightmare.

I keep expecting to wake up.

And what is happening?

Brooklyn says
she's afraid of you.

Does she have any reason
to be afraid of you, Gabrielle?

This stinks of a set up!

What does your cop nose say?

That you're not
telling me everything.



The man in the
stairwell that night.

He wasn't there to mug me.

He said Parker had his
money and he wanted it back.

I didn't tell you the truth

because he threatened
to kill me and Lexa.

I didn't know what it all meant.

I just...

It's why I told Genna
not to call the police.

Could identify him?

Maybe.

I think his name was Travis.

I found evidence
in Parker's files

that he was making payments
to him every week.

Over two years,
it totalled two million dollars.

I think Travis is
behind all of this.

But if Parker was paying Travis,

then why would
Travis kill Carson.

Because about a month before,

before Parker disappeared
the payments stopped

and I need to look
at Parker's work computers.

Why?

I don't know
just to follow the money

and prove that I'm innocent?

No, I can't let you near those
computers until you're cleared.

You gotta
stay away from Brooklyn,

her house and
Langston Financial.

Do you believe
anything I just told you?

I don't know.







(buzzer beeps)





(light clicks on)

(sigh)



Real estate holdings.



I called building security.

(knocking)

Portland P.D.

Thanks.



San Francisco?



(footsteps approaching)

(gasp)

Thanks.





Real estate holdings.

San Francisco.

Gabrielle's
trying to find Parker.

(phone ringing and buzzing)

Dead Parker,
you think he's still alive?

It's Gibbsey?

What do you got for me?

Okay, leave it there,
on our way.



Asher: What does
Gibbsey say?

Donna: He agrees that the damae
was deliberately caused.

The top of
the tear seems precise,

probably caused
by a sharp knife,

consistent with a box cutter,

but the rest of
the tear is ripped.

He also notes that the
person was right handed

and had to have worn
the jacket at the time.

He figures it was a male
as ripping the fabric

takes considerable strength.

So, Parker did fake his death.

And wanted to make
it look like an accident.

Plus, if she wanted to kill her
husband for his insurance mone,

she would have claimed
it as fast as she could.

She didn't, she waited 2 months.

That's the one thing
he didn't count on.

But then why is
Parker is San Francisco,

wouldn't he wanna be far away?

Unless he's
waiting for something.

Or someone.

Do me a favour, run
a background check.

Real estate
holdings in San Francisco.

Where are you going?

To confirm something.





(car door opens and closes)

(car starts)



(car door opens and closes)



Brooklyn?

(deep sigh)

Brooklyn?

(phone ringing and buzzing)

Asher.

Yeah, she's gone.

I gotta find Gabrielle
before she finds Parker.

Can you put a trace on both
Brooklyn and Gabrielle's phones,

and uhh, send me those four
addresses from San Francisco.

Thank you, I'm on my way.



(line ringing and beeping)

Gabby: Lexa, honey, I know
this is hard to understand.

This is all a big
mistake, okay, I love you.



(sigh)





Asher: Tell her
San Francisco liaison.

Tell them I'm on my way.





(car door opens and closes)





(voicemail machine beeping)

Gabby: Karen, please call me,
we need to talk.





(car door opens and closes)





(radio announcer
talking in the distance)

(radio announcer
talking in the distance)

(announcer talking grows louder)

(announcer talking grows louder)

Parker!?



(radio shuts off)

What have you done?

Answer me.

You at least owe me that much.

You shouldn't be here.

You shouldn't be here?

You faked your own death.

What did you think
that would do to me?

To Lexa?

I mean,
your daughter is heartbroken.

You don't understand.

No, I don't understand.

Of course I don't understand!

Parker:
You need to leave.

Come on just...

I am not going anywhere until
you tell me what is going on!

This is about
the money, isn't it?

(metal clanks)

What did you do!?



Gabby?

Gabby!

You're welcome.

Brook:
I'll get some tape.



(phone buzzing and ringing)

Hey, has Gabrielle's
turned her phone on yet?

Donna: Not yet.

Brooklyn?

Donna: Hers went
dark last night.

All right, let me know
if you know anything.



You still don't trust me.

Of course I trust
you, I love you.

No you don't.

You won't even give me
the account password.

Look, I just need
to be sure, okay?

Don't you trust me?

She wasn't supposed to find me.

It's not a big deal,

we just have to get rid
of one more person.

No, we're not killing her.

There wasn't
supposed to be any killing.

Carson was getting suspicious.

After her little scene,
it was only a matter of time

before he figured it all out.

You could've just left.

We would be in
The Cayman's by now.

It's too late for that.

If Gabrielle
claimed the insurance

when she was supposed to...

Look, I don't care about
the money, I care about you!

Carson was my brother, he
didn't deserve to die, Brook.

Jesus, what are we doing?

Don't get all
principled with me.

Look, you're all I've
been thinking about.

I have our passports.

Let's just you and
I take the money and go.

We'll start over, get new jobs.

A job? No.

I don't want to start over.

I want what I've been
working so hard for.

Come on, baby.

I need a certain lifestyle.

You want me to be
happy, don't you?

Keep your eye on
the prize, I'm worth it.

I can't kill her.

That's obvious.

No, Lexa needs her mother!

She's seen us Parker and besides
if you really cared for Lexa

you wouldn't even be here.

I mean it, Brook!

(coughing)

Sleeping Beauty awakes.

Get her some water.

(tape tearing)

(groaning)



Tell me.

How long has that been going on?





Please tell me you did this
for a better reason

than to be with a younger woman.

You didn't fake your death
and left Lexa for Brook.

You don't know how
hard it was to leave Lexa.

Oh, don't even try.

I don't even know you.

20 years is a long time
to be with one person.

(scoffs)

So you did this
because you were bored?

Everyone deserves to be happy.

We all get one life,
with Brook I feel young.

You're actually trying
to justify what you did?

What about Carson, how are
you gonna rationalize that one?

My god, Parker.

Do you even hear yourself?

Why not just leave me?

I mean, why the charade?

Because I was broke and in
debt and because the only way

I could start over
was with money.

You mean the only way she would
go with you was with money.

I guess I should just be
happy you didn't kill me, too.

Brook:
I suggested it, Gabs.

I see your bruise is gone.

Oh, did I just
interrupt a family reunion?



Parker!

It's good to see you again,

you're looking well
for a dead man.

Parker:
What do you want?

Travis: What, no small talk?
No chit-chat?

Parker, I'm hurt.

I believe you
have a bank account

with 5 million dollars in it.

Parker: Tell your boss I can
make the payments again.

Tell me where to wire the money.

Oh no, this has
nothing to do with my boss.

See, I've started
my own enterprise.

But hey, enough about me,

I'm gonna need that
number from you, Parker.

Brook: Just give him the number
Parker, before he kills us!

No?

No just...

Not her, okay well, how about
your wife, there?

The mother of your child.

Parker: Please,
please, please.

Gaby: You were in bed
with the mob?

I needed the money, Gabby

and banks don't loan
like they used to.

So you borrowed from the mob?

This is why I had to leave,
they were gonna kill me.

I needed them to
think that I was dead.

(clears throat)

All right, just stop.

It's okay,
it's all right, just...

You got it, okay,
you have it, just...

We got it.



Parker: Brook.



Check the balance.

You killed my brother.

And you attacked me.

We had to make sure you
got the insurance money.

Sorry about the stairs.

Why not kill me?

We got it!

You have me to thank for that.

I thought you might be a
good investment just in case.

Brook, here
couldn't get the account.

Well, not to worry,
we will fix that.

After all I gave up for you.

Brook:
Gave up for me?

Please.

You wanted me from
the moment you saw me.

You told me all about

how you wanted to start
a new life with me.

Parker: What about him?

Let's just say I've known Travis
longer than I've known Carson.

All right look, just
let Gabrielle go, please.

You're not making
the rules here, Parker.

I know, Travis,

I'm gonna do whatever you
ask me to do, just please.

And I really
don't need your help.

Brook: Look out!

(gunshot)



Oh baby, thank you,
he was threatening to kill me.

Shut up!

I didn't know what to do!

Shut up!

Put the gun down, Parker.

Brook: Nothing has changed.

Gabby:
Put the gun down.

Call the police.

I can't call the police!

(arguing in the distance)





This is Detective Blackton
of Portland PD,

I'm gonna need assistance.

Parker: Just shut up,
just shut up!

Gabby: Call the police!

Parker: What do you think
they're gonna do to me?

Gabby: They're gonna...

I can't just...

Gabby: Call the police!

Please, stop talking to me,
you're yelling at me!

(gunshot)





I have waited so
long to do this.

(gunshot)



(grunting)

I trusted you with my daughter.

It's over.

Drop your gun, Gabrielle.

Don't do it.

Please.

You're right.

She's not worth it.

It's all over now.

Paramedics are on their way.

Lexa?

She's fine, she's
with her Grandmother.







Mom!

(giggling)



I'm okay now.



Karen: Let's all go
inside, come on, come on.



Gabby: You ready?

Lexa: Yeah!

It was my first river too.

I know, I'm excited.

Hey!

Hey!

I heard you were back at work.

It keeps my mind focused.

How are you doing, Lexa?

Okay.

Well, I see you've
ventured back on the water.

It's her first time.

Oh.

We're going to The Point
where Mom started.

Uhh Lexa, can you grab the
life jackets out of the garage?



How is she, really?

I don't know what's worse.

Having your father actually die

or finding out
he faked his death.

Those files that you gave
us helped us bring down

the mobsters that
Parker was connected to.

What's gonna happen to him?

Well, he's gonna do some time.

What about Brooklyn?

She's in much bigger trouble,

she's gonna be locked
away for awhile.

Thank you for believing in me,
not giving up on me

Innocent until proven guilty.

(chuckles)

The Point?

Is that where the beginners go?

It's a good spot.

Why, you thinking of learning?

You know someone
who could teach me?

I might.

(chuckling)

You're doing great!

This is fun!

Maybe The Grand Canyon next?

Maybe next year.
