Chasing Life (2014–2015): Season 2, Episode 10 - Bottle of Secrets - full transcript

- Previously on Chasing Life...
- I'm just trying to do whatever I can

to make myself happy and feel better.

- You're gonna have to get over it.
- Get over my dead husband?

Why the hell hadn't I thought of that?

Winter storm Pam should
hit New York later today

dumping at least a foot of snow.

Just coordinating Mae's travel.

Listen, are you guys sure
it's okay if she stays here?

- Of course.
- Guess I really am my father's daughter...

They way I'm acting because Leo died

and the way Dad was acting because your
mom was pressuring him to be with her.



- Who told you that?
- George.

We need to talk.

I know, I ate all the hummus.

I'll restock you guys before I leave.

It's not that. It's...

I have a couple of
questions about something

- you mentioned the other day about Dad.
- Oh. What's up?

Remember how you said Olivia was
pressuring him to get back together?

Uh, I think so.

Well, I mentioned that to Natalie,
and she says that her mom's been in

a serious relationship for years.

Huh.

Did you know Marco?

I mean, if you've known
Olivia and Natalie this long,



you must have crossed paths at some point.

Uh, I mean...

Yeah, now that I think of it, I...

Yeah, I... I do remember
a guy who was around Olivia.

Maybe Natalie didn't know her
mom still had feelings for Dad?

How sure are you about this Olivia thing?

I'm really not.

Um, it was so long ago, I'm just guessing.

S... sorry. I wish I could be more helpful.

And there was nothing else going
on with Dad during that time?

Uh, just the usual: Pressures from work.

I know his editor was all over
him about finishing that spy novel.

I thought you didn't know about the book.

Oh, sorry. This is from, uh, the airline.

I'm flying out after dinner with Mae.

I really need to...

- Hello, April.
- Hi, Mae.

George, did you get the
quart-sized bags for the toiletries?

- I did.
- Thank you.

And since the airline is telling
me that our flight is on time,

I really should start packing soon.

You haven't packed yet?

I think he's lying.

I really do.

It's not that out there for George to lie,

as the person who's
existence he denied for years.

Well, technically, he
didn't deny your existence.

No one asked him.

Hey, Bren, isn't the role

of the documentarian to remain objective?

I'm reinventing the genre,

and it doesn't sound like
Uncle George is lying.

It sounds like he just got his facts wrong.

When I first told him about the book,

he acted like he didn't
even know it existed,

and then today, he just happens to remember

Dad being stressed out about turning
his spy novel in on time? I...

Yeah, not to mention the lie he told
about my mom still wanting our dad.

I have a question,

but, April, you can't
get mad at me for asking.

If you think I'm gonna get mad at
you for asking a question, then...

You're turning the camera off first.

I do not need Berkeley's summer
filmmaking program this up in my business.

Okay, fine.

Are you sure

George said that he didn't
know there was a book?

I mean, you've been going
through a lot lately.

It's possible you might
have just remembered wrong.

And I knew that you would get mad at me,

but, seriously, what is there left to hide?

What is more of a secret
than a secret family?

I mean, two secret families?

Dude!

Why would George go to all the trouble

to keep another family from us,

after we found out about Natalie?

Okay, listen.

Everyone in that book
was based off of one of us

or someone we know,

except for one character.

- The woman at Langley.
- Yes,

and he focused a lot of the story on her,

so who's she based on?

Oh, I know.

She's based on Dad's
secret sister. That's it.

And she's in cahoots with Uncle George

who's not this amazing
doctor, but, no, a spy,

who's a part of this whole

world-wide secret family conspiracy.

That's how crazy you guys sound.

Whatever. I want to reread that part

- of the book about her.
- Me too.

Okay, well write me a
postcard from crazy town.

I hear it's beautiful
there this time of year.

Hey, Beth. Wow, it's really
coming down out there.

April didn't tell me you were coming over.

Oh, I... I kind of didn't
tell her that I was.

You two still haven't spoken?

No, so I just decided

to show up in the middle of a
snowstorm like an insane person.

You're not insane. You're a good friend.

April's upstairs.

April's right here.

Everything okay?

- You haven't replied to my texts.
- What? I replied.

April, a bitmoji doesn't count.

It said, "all good."

Okay. Uh...

Then I guess I'll just, uh...

Head back out into the
freezing cold, and...

No! Please don't.

As your surrogate Boston mother,
I'm not letting you leave.

George is flying home later,

and we're gonna have an early
dinner, maybe some games.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Or... sorry. Is that all good?

Of course. All good.

Well, Berkeley is such
a great school, Brenna.

You have the grades,

and I bet you the summer program
would really help with admissions.

Mom, stop. I'm not going to college.

I'm only going to Berkeley for the
summer, and that's only if I get in.

Well, if you're new film is anything like
the one you premiered in Northeastern,

- it's a shoe-in.
- What did you premier?

Uh, that film I did with Ford.

The next one I'm making is
documentary style about our family,

so bring on the drama.

Oh, that'll be no problem.

Not too much, though. I don't
want it to be unrealistic.

Well, you know, I love documentaries.

I can't stop watching My 600-lb life.

It makes me feel so tiny.

That's not a documentary.
That's a reality show.

Yeah, it's the same thing.

Mae, how was your presentation at Columbia?

I've never felt so popular. There
were 11 people in the audience.

It's because there is less than a
dozen experts in the entire world

who can understand her research.

Hey, maybe we should start thinking
about getting to the airport?

Yeah, it might take a little
longer in this weather.

Sara, thank you so much
for your hospitality.

- You're very welcome.
- Uncle George?

Before you leave, can I get
that manuscript back from you?

Well, actually, I'm still reading it.
Can I mail it to you when I'm done?

You still haven't finished half of a book?

He's been a little busy getting
April into her trial and everything.

I've had a few distractions.

Hey, George,

you promised we'd play at
least one game before you left.

Okay. Okay, one game.

Pick one.

I remember packing your
board games at the apartment.

Oh, um, maybe they're in one of
the boxes in my room. I'll go check.

Maybe you can find a ouija board up there.

We can ask Dad a few questions.

Why is everything wet?

Got you a little something to
take back to New York with you.

Aw, Dad. You're the one
with the birthday coming up.

Father's reserve the right
to get their daughters gifts

whenever the hell they feel like it.

It's what we get in exchange for
not having anyone to play catch with.

Sorry, not feminist.

Oh, Mom and I have trained you well.

This way you'll always feel close to home.

And, uh, maybe you'll think
of me when you look at it.

When are you back from Florida?

Actually, I'm going to Baltimore first.

What's in Baltimore?

You know, just research stuff.

I can't keep up, but you're gonna
be back for your birthday right?

Because I am coming up, and I am taking
you to Mama Maria's. You're favorite.

But you just got to New
York a couple months ago.

You're roommate just
moved in. I can't be...

Yes you can.

Ellie's gonna take some time getting
used to, so I don't mind a break.

And I... I want to thank you.

You know, you're an awesome dad. I'm lucky.

Are you crying?

Dad, I've never seen you cry before.

It's this damn house full of women...

Making me soft.

Not feminist.

April?

Did you find Trivial Pursuit?

I thought it could be fun for us
all to play, and I can't find it.

No, I think Grandma stole it.

She took Balderdash too.

What's going on?

Just thinking about dad.

What about him?

The more I think about it, the more
I have this nagging feeling that...

When he said goodbye to
me for the last time...

It's like he knew it was the last time.

When we look back

on big moments from our past

we don't always remember them
exactly the way they happened.

No.

He was so emotional.

He cried. Dad never cried. I mean...

Do you remember why he went to Baltimore?

No, I don't.

He traveled so much.

Honey, really, this is not a
mystery that needs to be solved.

Your father was a complicated
man, to say the least.

And I think there's a danger of your not
being present in your own life right now.

And all the things that could be exciting
about it, and all the people who love you,

because you're focusing so
much on someone else's past.

Someone who is gone.

You're right.

- I'll see you downstairs.
- Yeah.

Bring Scrabble.

Getting a little liquid courage before we
hit Uncle George with the tough questions.

I say we just ask him
about family number three.

Maybe Brenna's right.

Maybe we're being a little crazy.

You know, think about how that
would go. What would we even say?

Did Dad have a third family?

We don't have any evidence to support that,

especially without the book.

- Which he's hiding from us.
- Well, we don't know that, either.

And since they're leaving tonight,
I think maybe that's a sign.

Oh, what kind of sign?

A sign that we should let this
go so I can take my life back.

Okay, just one game, and
then we're out of here.

I hate you, Pam.

Who's Pam?

Pam is the winter storm that just
caused our flight to be canceled.

Yeah, looks like we're stuck
here for one more night.

Guess we're going to
play more than one game.

What were you saying about signs?

Yes! Okay, good. Um...

Oh, uh, Sweet Home Alabama.

Wild.

- Bear Bryant?
- Truman Capote.

Um. No, no. Reese Witherspoon!

Yes! Good. Okay, um.

Okay, stop.

The score is tied 15 to 15.

Beth, you're up.

All right.

Okay.

Okay, ready? Okay, go.

Uh, Suri's mom.

Oh, Steve jobs!

- Dawson.
- Oh, Katie Holmes!

Uh, love story. Bad blood.

- Ali MacGraw!
- Taylor Swift.

Yes. Yes.

Genovia.

- Anne Hathaway?
- Yay!

- Blane.
- Andrew McCarthey.

Yes!

- Party of five.
- Neve Campbell?

- Mmh.
- Matthew Fox.

- That's so fetch!
- Lacey Chabert!

- Yes!
- What?

Ah, stop!

I have no idea what just happened.
These two are of one mind.

Can we try something that adults can play?

Like a bluffing game?

Where you have to decide if
someone's telling the truth?

Uh, well, I think Sara told me

that Emma took Balderdash
with her to Sedona.

Yep.

That's okay. I feel like you
might have an unfair advantage.

Or, uh, you know, we
could stick to Celebrity,

let's just try picking people not
ripped from the pages of US Weekly.

And... and we're going to
have to switch up the teams.

Beth and Brenna can no
longer be on the same side.

- No!
- What?

- Oh, come on.
- That is not fair.

How 'bout Shiloh Jolie-Pitt?

Oh, good one. Is it weird
that I want to be Shiloh?

- A little bit.
- Thank God I'm on your team.

I don't know who any of these people are.

Good to see you two getting along.

When weren't we getting along?

Uh, I... I came by here
yesterday to see you,

and I had a little chat
with my free therapist.

- Mom.
- She was worried about you.

Look, I know I was acting
all Britney Spears circa 2007,

and I know it's because you guys care.

But talking about me behind my back
doesn't make me feel any less nuts.

Just believe that I'm trying, okay?

Hey, guys...

As luck would have it,

I bought stuff for s'mores.

Oh yay!

Okay. Okay, girls. Uh, if someone
has something they want to ask me,

then go ahead and ask. We're
going to be stuck in here, so...

Did Dad have a third family in Baltimore?

- April, I thought we decided...
- He

said I could ask him whatever I
wanted, and that's what I want to know.

No. No, there was no third family.

Then what was he doing there?

Well, he was a writer, so he
traveled for research all the time.

Remember, this book
wasn't set in Baltimore.

Well, maybe it was for
a future book. Who knows?

Now that you're not
rushing to make a flight,

can I please take a look at the manuscript?

It's buried in my luggage.
I'd really have to dig it out.

- We've got time.
- Okay. You know what? Enough.

April, I don't think this could possibly
be good for you getting worked up like this.

Can we please just play
another round of Celebrity?

Actually, I'm going to sit this one out.

I have to take my meds anyway.

S'mores?

Yes, please.

- Hey.
- Sorry.

If you don't want me to film this, I won't.

Oh, sure. I mean, if they don't
let you in after seeing your

dying sister give herself
chemo, then they're evil.

You're not dying.

We'll see.

It's weird. Death used
to be my greatest fear,

but now...

It's such a real possibility,
that if I don't, it's like a bonus.

Imagine if you hadn't
found out when you did.

Remember, George was the
first person to tell you.

- Bren...
- You basically called him a liar.

That's because I think he's lying to us.

Brenna, I know how you feel. I do.

It's the same way I felt
when I found out about Dad.

I loved him so much that I was blindsided,

and I just want you to prepare
yourself for that with George.

- Can I talk to you for a sec?
- Hmm.

Sorry I asked George
about the other family.

- I just thought that...
- It's okay.

And I understand why you think that,

but I'm positive it's not true.

How do you know that?

When you were gone to college,

your dad began to have...

Well, a problem.

How was your night?

Good.

The girls and I had the turkey meatloaf.

There's...

There's more in the
fridge, if you're hungry.

- How's Edwin?
- Oh, he didn't show.

He's probably off doing some research

- with another T.A.
- You were by yourself all night?

Not by myself.

Bartender was good company.

He was on Jeopardy once.

Thomas.

It helps the writing. Every
conversation helps the writing.

I study the human condition.

I'm not buying that anymore.

How many drinks did you have?

I know I have been overindulging
a little bit lately,

- but I'm fine.
- No, you're not.

You're all over the place. You're
slurring. You're stumbling over things.

Something's gotta change.

- You think Dad was an alcoholic?
- He admitted it to me,

and I made him go to rehab.

He found a place in Baltimore.

That's why he was there.

Not as long as I wanted.
He only stayed a week.

I don't think he ever
got well before he died.

Why didn't you tell me this before?

You know your dad, his hubris.

He... he'd had a pretty hard
fall from grace as it was,

and I just didn't want to
ruin whatever last shred of...

Good memories that were left.

We can't choose who we love, but...

We can choose how we
respond to those people

when they do self-destructive things.

I used to think I should protect you

from the truth about your dad,

but it wouldn't have been healthy
to let you keep him on a pedestal

as some ideal man who could

do no wrong.

Someone else is on that pedestal now.

Leo.

I know, sweetheart.

And a first love is hard to top.

Actually, I'm...

Not sure that was the
first time I fell in love.

And it won't be the last.

Where are you going?

Home.

Now? Why?

Because I'm going stir crazy here.

Have you noticed there's some super
weird energy in this house tonight?

I notice there's a weird
energy in this house

pretty much every night.

Well, since I'm not a part of
this family, I get to opt out.

Are you sure you want to go?

- Yes.
- Fine.

All right, um. It's really bad out there.

You're not going anywhere.

By the way, you're wrong...

About not being a part of this family.

I mean, you're here for

breakfast, lunch, dinner,
cancer, weddings, funerals.

You're my sister.

Get used to it.

You are a good egg, Brenna Carver,

and also, impressively good at Celebrity.

- I know.
- We killed it.

- Dad was an alcoholic.
- What?

Mom just told me, the
reason he went to Baltimore

was for a rehab he didn't even finish.

If you think about it, it
pretty much explains everything.

It definitely doesn't explain
why George has been lying.

Maybe he was just trying to
protect Dad, like he always does.

Well, if that's the case, then the book
should be in his suitcase like he said.

Let's go look.

Come on.

What else is there to do in here?

And what happened to your reporter skills?

If this was a story, no way in hell

the old April Carter would have dropped it.

To give you some perspective on
this potentially historic storm.

- The low pressure area...
- They're talking about three feet of snow.

We could be in this house for a while.

Ooh.

Sunny and 60 one day,

freak blizzard the next.

Welcome to New England, Mae.

Thanks.

Well, I'm glad I stocked the fridge,

though I don't know. Can the family
survive on hummus and s'mores alone?

Oh, well, you know,

during a snow storm, Tequila definitely
moves to the top of the food pyramid,

or the bottom.

Where'd you find that?

Uh, in the back of the sideboard.

Hope you don't mind, Sara.
We are totally out of wine.

- No, that's fine.
- Okay.

I can't even remember
where that bottle came from.

Maybe a gift from a long time ago?

It is a pretty bottle, though. What is it?

A very high quality anejo
I haven't had in a long time.

Two years in Los chivos jalisco
with Doctors Without Borders.

Well, since it's doctor approved...

And it looks like we're going to be
stuck here for who knows how long.

Ah, well, none for me, thanks.

I'm good.

We're out of marshmallows.

On it.

Count me in, please.

Oh, yay!

Is it my imagination or is
Mae a little prickly with me?

Oh, I wouldn't read too much into it.

You know how doctors are. One
minute they're healing a person,

the next minute, they're moody as hell.

Hi, George. Hi, Sara.

Hi, Natalie. What are you doing?

Doing? Nothing. Just, you
know, hanging in the kitch.

April, what's going on in there?

Hey, why are all my clothes
lying all over the floor?

- Where's the book, George?
- April!

You said you packed the book. Where is it?

George, just show her the
book so we can drop this.

I cannot believe that you
went through my luggage.

Because you weren't being honest with us.

Okay, listen to me. I... I got rid of it...

For the good of this family.
There's nothing truthful in it,

and it was making everybody crazy.

Mae!

You really need stitches.

I don't need stitches.

Pretty sure you nicked your radial nerve.

If there's a nick on my nerve,
it's because of your tweezer work.

Now I see why you didn't go into surgery.

Thought you might want some water.

Is there anything else I can do?

Yes, please turn up the anesthesia.

- Stop clenching your fist.
- Stop poking in the wrong place.

Stop backseat driving.

Isn't there a saying that doctors
are, like, the hardest patients?

No, I think it's just when the
other doctor isn't instilling trust.

Well, maybe it's just that the first
doctor doesn't know how to trust.

Ah, ah, ah. I'll do it.

Thank you.

Thank you. I... I'm going to bed.

Good night.

Sorry you had to see that.

No, no. Not at all.

I mean, it just seemed like...

You know, couple banter.

Hmm, not exactly.

Things with us aren't working out.

And I thought you going
through your uncle's luggage

was going to be the
highlight of the evening.

I know I'm probably completely
obsessing about this stuff,

and honestly,

I don't blame you if you just wanna

delete my number from your
phone and throw in the towel.

You know, it seems like forever
since you told me about your life.

It was kind of intentional,

'cause my life's pretty good these days.

Tell me more.

Um, things are getting a
little serious with me and Josh.

Pretty sure we're going to be a thing.

What? You never talk like this.

I know.

Why didn't you tell me?

How could I? I mean,

you just lost Leo.

That doesn't mean I don't want you
to find someone to fall in love with.

I didn't say I loved him.

You pre-love him.

Maybe. Oh my God.

Ape.

Oh, hey, you can go. I got this.

If there's nothing in the book,
then why did he get rid of it?

I know. There was something in there.

Bet we have a brother.

I always wanted a brother.

Not like this, obviously.

I kind of believed George when he
said there weren't any more of us.

Maybe Dad killed someone?

I don't think he could if he tried.

What if Dad was gay?

And George went to these
extremes to cover it up?

I mean, what year is it?

What if...

Mom and George wanted to have an affair?

What? Are you trying to
stir up drama for your movie?

No. There's no camera
here, just a question.

Mom and George? Because they
dated before Mom and Dad?

Sara and George dated?

Yeah, and...

They dated, like a few months ago.

- What?
- And George and Mae just broke up.

Maybe Mae is picking up
on something between them?

Do you think they hooked
up while Sara was married?

God knows Dad was out of town enough.

You guys...

The first line of Dad's book is
the main character saying that...

He's planning his own death.

What if that's what happened?

What if Dad killed himself

because he found out about an
affair between Mom and George?

No. Wait, actually, that's
impossible. George was driving the car.

Unless he wasn't.

But then the only way the
police report would say that

George was driving, is if George lied.

Blankets, blankets.

Where are you, blankets?

"We're hiding from you, because

"you're addressing us by name,
and it's a little creepy."

"We used to like it."

- Okay.
- Okay.

I got it. Thank you.

Hey...

I'm sorry about you and Mae.

I'm a little surprised. It seemed
like things were going well.

Well, uh, I thought they were,

but you know how it is when
there's so much distance,

and just two insanely demanding careers.

Yeah. I thought you guys wanted
that kind of relationship, though.

I mean, it worked in theory,
rather than in practice.

Um, this was sort of our attempt
to have a last conversation

about whether to make it work, and
that's why she came up from New York,

but sometimes if it's broken,
you gotta stop trying to fix it.

Well, I'll let her know, that...

She's got a friend if she ever
needs one when she's in Boston.

Yeah, I wouldn't do that.

She has some complicated
feelings about you.

Me?

You and I were over before you met her.

Well, she could never get over it.

Oh!

No, no.

Beth, I think that one's a goner.

No. No way. I like them well done.

Bleh, oh.

Maybe not that well done.

Wow.

What'd I miss?

She's been putting on quite
the show for us down here.

I blame the Tequila.

Ah, all of it?

Haven't seen you this drunkie in a while.

I'm like a fun drunk, right?

Yes, you are a super fun drunk.

But when you get this drunk, you usually

drunk dial your exes.

Oh, yeah I do. I do.

And now that your in,
you know, pre-love...

Yes. Yes.

I am in pre-love.

So I must put myself to bed
before I sabotage my own happiness.

Good night. Farewell, loved ones.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.

- Good night, Beth.
- Beautiful.

Okay.

This family needs to talk.

There are some rumors going around,

and I think it's time
we find out the truth.

I think we already know the truth.

Uh, lay it on me.

Well, we know you destroyed a book

that began with a line about
a man planning his own death.

April, your father was a novelist.

He wrote fiction.

Is that true?

Was it fiction, George?

We've been through this.

Right. Nothing truthful? Lies.

Like what you and Sara have going on?

Mom, have you and George
dated since Dad died?

Well, yes, but what does
that have to do with anything?

Why didn't you tell me?

You had enough on your plate.

And now?

What are the two of you hiding from us now?

I... I'm trying to protect all of you.

Can we just leave it at that?

Protect us from what?

Were you together with George
when you were married to Dad?

No! No!

People make mistakes.

We all know that Dad did,

and if, you know, you cheated back,

how could you have possibly known
that he would want to end his life?

End his life? Where is this coming from?

Mom...

We think that Dad killed
himself, and George covered it up.

You know what? You... You
don't know what you're saying.

You're talking about my brother's death

like it was a soap opera,
when really it was...

It was tragic.

Yes, Thomas...

did want to end his life,

but not because we were having an affair.

Because he was sick.

He was dying.

So, April's in New York, huh?

- She loves it.
- Huh.

Hey.

Damn it.

Those twitches look like
they're getting worse.

They're not twitches.

Well, it's been a few months.
We should check your...

Your thyroid. Rule out any
infection or a minor stroke.

Have you talked to Sara?

No.

Well, Tommy, this could be... Serious.

It is serious,

and my symptoms are obviously
getting impossible to hide.

What are you talking about?

Well, it turns out Lou Gehrig
and I have a lot more in common

than our love of baseball.

A.L.S.? Are you saying, that you have...

Yes.

I have A.L.S.

Yeah, but that's...

Incurable.

There's only one outcome...

And it's coming.

Which is why I need your help.

I want you to help me die.

Don't talk like that. You can...

Still live. You can have a productive life.

And if I don't, you know what that
looks like, I'm not gonna die like that.

George, you are the
only one I can count on.

Please.

You need to talk to Sara.

No. I'm not gonna say
anything to her or the girls.

They'll just try to talk
me out of it. This way...

I can go out with some dignity intact.

Dignity? Screw your dignity.

Your children need you.
Your wife needs you...

If only for a... a finite time. How
could you leave them before you have to?

If not for yourself, you stay here.

You stay with them...

Every second you have.

Do you hear me?

That's not possible.

He wasn't an alcoholic, Sara.

He went to rehab in Baltimore.

To see a specialist at Johns Hopkins...

Where he accepted...

How debilitating his disease was.

It is no way to die.

And still...

He was telling me that he didn't
want to suffer through that.

I thought I'd... I'd talked him out of it.

What happened?

Well, it was right
before his 55th birthday,

and he invited me...

Down to Florida for some golfing and...

Fishing to celebrate.

Natalie probably remembers some of this.

And, uh... and when I arrived, he
again pleaded with me to help him...

And nobody could know.

His insurance policy was
expiring when he was 55,

so he had to do it before his birthday.

Otherwise he'd have to renew,

and then any physical he would
take would reveal how sick he was,

and he wanted all of
you to be taken care of.

And all he needed was my help.

You...

You helped him kill himself?

April...

I promise you, there will
be no more secrets left...

When I stop talking, okay?

I didn't agree with his plan.

We fought about it,

but my God, he was... He was determined.

He hopped in his car, and... and sped off,

and I got in my rental and I followed him,

'cause I knew. I knew what he was...

I tried to get him to pull over.

We were racing in this...

Ugh, this empty, open street a
few miles outside of Key West.

We're driving along, and...

He looked over to me...

And he gunned the accelerator,

and I watched him as he
swerved head on into a tree.

And, uh, I stopped...

Ran over to him and he was, uh...

I mean, he was...

You know, my brother was all...

He was broken. He was broken,
and he was bleeding, and he was...

He was hurt pretty bad.

But he was still alive.

Barely.

What did you do?

I did nothing.

I sat there...

And I held onto him

until the end.

But the police said...

I had to make absolutely certain that

it looked like just an accident.

So I moved his body...

into the passenger seat

and I took a... a crowbar or something

and I smashed the glass
on the passenger side...

And I dragged my hand, my arms,
even my face in the gravel.

And I hid my rental car

and I reported the accident
with myself as the driver.

And...

I spent the last years

trying... trying to put this behind me.

Why did you do all this for him?

Why did you lie for him all these years?

He's my big brother.

I'd do anything for him.

I know it's not logical,

but it's the truth.

I'm sorry.

What you did was basically murder.

Well, some would say that I assisted...

With something that he wanted, but
yeah... yeah, the law says it's murder.

Could you go to prison?

You should have told us.

It's better that you didn't know.

Because if the truth ever came out,

then the insurance money

that Thomas was so adamant
you receive would be gone.

The money for this house, for medical care.

We never got any of that money.

Why is that?

I don't know.

I never wanted any of you to find out.

Because I've been carrying
this secret for so long...

And now it's your secret to carry, too.

Yeah, thanks for letting
me crash at your place.

Last night was insane.

Can't believe I got wasted in
front of your mom and uncle.

A lot of things happened last
night that I can't believe.

I'm glad you made it home safely.

Hey, what's wrong?

April, Natalie's gone.
