Nancy Drew (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - The Hidden Staircase - full transcript

ACE:
Lucy Sable was crowned
Sea Queen.

Disappeared after the
celebration, never seen again.

McGINNIS:
Someone in this town

has been tampering
with the spirit world.

GEORGE:
Since Lucy communicates
through electronics,

we can have her answer questions
through the dragon.

(gasps)

Are you haunting me because
of what I found in the attic?

That was Lucy Sable's bloody

dress in the attic
that you lied about.

I didn't kill anyone!



NICK:
I used to worry

there was no room
in your future for me,

but there's barely
room in your present.

Hi, Mom. A lot has happened
since you died.

I am starting to believe

in ghosts.

GEORGE:
All right, shorty.

You've been
adequately good today.

Ted?

(bell jingles)

Ted?!

Fever in me...

NANCY:
Who am I supposed to trust
after what I've learned

about the secrets
being kept by my father?



The Hudsons' former lawyer
and fixer...

who accepted $50,000 from
a Hudson-owned shell company

two days after Lucy's murder

and then stayed in Europe

with me and my mom
for a year.

To control the air

Sapphire in the air...

(phone buzzing)

Hey, George,
it's my day off, so...

I need your help.

I can't find my little sister.

Ted disappeared last night.

I'm on my way.

GEORGE:
I haven't called the cops,
because

I don't want them to send
Child and Family Services

to come poking around my house.

Besides,
Ted just does this sometimes.

Once, she was playing
hide-and-seek

and fell asleep under her bed,
and stayed asleep for hours,

even with everyone
yelling for her.

But I checked
every room at home.

I called all of her friends.

She's not at school,
she's not at the library.

You know, I really
don't need this right now.

It's bad enough
I'm already worried about Ace.

Don't tell him
I said that.

Hey, he is in a coma
from a car accident.

It's okay to worry.

Now I have
to deal with this

while my mom's
on a weekend

booze cruise
with the harbormaster.

She is
on the return leg,

but the boat won't be back
until tomorrow,

which is why I had
to drag you guys in.

I'm sorry.
NICK: Nothing
to be sorry for.

We'll help
you find Ted.

Yeah, let's
check the storeroom.

I'm telling you guys,
I already checked there.

Well, let's check
outside by the water.

Ted hates water.

Fine.

Do you smell that?

It's like
burnt matches, or...

sulfur.

Oh, my God.

What is that?

When I was 12, this girl,
Rose Turnbull, was kidnapped

by a local realtor--
Nathan Gomber.

GIRL:
Rose!

I followed a hunch and found her
behind a hidden staircase.

This wax is in the same pattern
that I found

at the playground
when Rose was taken.

Did you say "when you were 12"?

It was my first case,

but only the police and I knew
about the wax.

It was, like, a signature
from Gomber.

But that wax smelled
like sulfur, too.

It was never made public.

What was never made public?

Ted has been kidnapped.

McGINNIS:
We have issued an Amber Alert.

And we've asked volunteers

to answer the tip lines
at our station.

My people are...

looking into...

Gomber's old
warehouse right now.

Okay.

This is a picture
of her yesterday.

Ted was wearing
her favorite shirt.

It's a cat with laser eyes.

(garbled radio transmission)

(garbled radio transmission)

Where's Nancy?

Hello, Nathan.

Do you remember me?

Vaguely.

A little girl went missing
last night.

And?

There was melted red wax
at the crime scene.

That's something
you did in 2013.

Maybe it wasn't me
who left the wax.

I know you took
Rose Turnbull.

But, hey, only 14 more years
to go on your sentence.

In the meantime,

why is there a copycat?

You pulling
somebody's strings?

You were wrong about me

six years ago in that warehouse.

You pointed
the finger at me

and said that
I was the kidnapper,

but you were
confused and afraid

and desperate for attention.

You wanted to be the hero,
rather than admit the truth.

What truth is there, other
than you being a kidnapper

who was brought to justice
by a seventh-grader?

Do you mind?

I'm ready to go now.

(line ringing)

NANCY:
Hey, is this Rose?

It's Nancy Drew. I found
your mom on social media.

She said
that I could talk to you?

Hi, Nancy.

How's California?

Pretty cool. I like it.

My mom said
you had some questions for me?

Yeah, um,

I know this is hard,
but I-I just wanted

to ask you more about what
happened with Nathan Gomber.

Did he ever have anybody
with him, like a friend, or...?

No. He was always alone.

He took me from the playground,

and drove me around
in his car all day.

And then, when it got dark,
he brought me to the warehouse.

I had some weird dreams,
and then, you woke me up.

Dreams?

I dreamt about Nathan Gomber,

talking to something
in the dark?

The tall thing.

The tall thing.

Simon?

(rumbling, growling voice)

Nancy?

Are you still there?

Hello?

You know, it's-it's funny.

I just, um, remembered something
for the first time ever.

Do you have those dreams, too?

No. It-It's nothing
to worry about.

Have a great day at school,
Rose, and... and thank you.

NANCY:
Why do I remember Rose's dream

about the tall thing
in the dark?

Maybe because
it wasn't a dream?

Maybe because I saw it, too,

and I don't think it was human.

Nick's been driving around
all over town, and so far,

he's seen no sign of Ted.

But meanwhile, we did an
Internet dive on Nathan Gomber.

It turns out that in 2013,
right before he kidnapped Rose,

he was in the middle
of a real estate deal

with a local developer:

Pine Hill.

Oh, that's
the Marvins' corporation.

I'll reach out to Owen.

George, it's okay.

We're gonna find her.

All right, well, we've got
people on these tip lines,

so if you think of anything
else, you can give us a call.

All right, thanks.

Cindy from the
Ice Cream Emporium

hasn't seen Ted
since last week.

All right, listen up.
What we need...

Carson.

What is it?

After McGinnis relayed

the theory about the copycat,

I started checking
the visitor logs

for Gomber's prison.

Nancy went to see him
this morning.

Are you serious?
Yeah.

Can't say I'm surprised,
but here's what I didn't expect.

Gomber's had a weekly visitor
for the last year and half.

Always the same woman,
like clockwork-- Moira Baker.

Last visit was yesterday.

Chief, I have a name for you.

Hart's sending us a patrol car

to meet us
at Moira Baker's residence.

GIRL:
Rose!

(indistinct shouting)

I let someone punch me
in the face last night.

It was a favor
for a friend.

Okay.

Thank you for
meeting me here.

Yeah, sure.
Not a problem.

This is everything
from the company files

about my family's
dealings with Gomber.

Believe it or not,
when I first met him,

seemed like a decent guy.

Wait. You knew him?

Yeah, he came to my aunt's house
at Thanksgiving once.

I was visiting
from college.

God, you're old.

Calm down.

I was only a freshman.

Was Gomber there to talk
about his warehouse property?

Yeah. He'd partnered with my
family for a development loan.

He was excited
to become a real estate mogul.

He started visiting
that warehouse all the time.

Aunt Diana said
he was obsessed with it.

But when I saw him at the end
of the winter holidays,

he just seemed like a different
guy-- cold, distant, kind of...

unbalanced.

That was, what?

January 2013?

January 2013?

He kidnapped Rose in March.

I have to get back to George,
um, but do you mind if I...

No. Keep 'em as long
as you need to.

I'm gonna be here in town,
helping put up flyers.

You're growing on me.
(chuckles)

Well, then the day's not
a total loss.

NANCY:
The warehouse is the key.

Something inside that warehouse
changed Gomber's personality.

The warehouse is where the voice
came from.

What voice?

The inhuman entity.

Nancy heard it back
in 2013.

Okay, you know he's
gonna say this is crazy.

No, I was gonna say
we already had a run-in

with one of
those entities.

Using Ted's
dragon toy.

(quietly):
Whoa.

Okay, what happened here?

When we did the séance

with the
burial coins,

we ended up

activating...

a bunch of dead souls

and, possibly...

some evil spirits.

What if
this entity

from the séance is the same one

that I heard Gomber talking to
in the warehouse?

Simon, when do I get
what was promised to me?

(rumbling, deep voice):
When I get what was promised.

And what if it's back
because of us?

He called the voice "Simon."

How does a disembodied voice
kidnap a little girl?

That voice was in
the warehouse in 2013.

I have no idea
where it's been since then,

but we got its attention
48 hours ago.

That gave it enough time to
find a new human accomplice.

Yesterday, that accomplice
found Ted here at The Claw.

Bess, how many customers
did you serve yesterday

while Ted was here?

I don't know.

Um, there was
an older couple.

There was a lady who only had
coffee but gave me a huge tip.

Yeah. Tell me more about her.

Um...

she had a
fresh manicure.

Uh, deep mauve.

That did not go with
the tattoo on her hand.

Like, no.

NANCY:
Did the tattoo

look like this?

(gasps)

You're psychic.

I'm not psychic.

I saw this tattoo on Nathan
Gomber's hand this morning.

NICK:
Bess' customer

could be friends
with Gomber.

Someone who visits him
every week?

Like the chief mentioned.

(Bess exhales)

My big tipper
was Moira Baker.

She would've seen Ted
while she was at The Claw.

Moira's
not just Gomber's friend.

I think she's the new kidnapper.

So, Moira took Ted

and left Gomber's wax spiral
for everyone to find.

But why has she taken
Ted now?

Because...

Simon

is back.

Maybe he chose the victim

he wanted after he
emerged from our séance.

Now, Moira wants something
in return,

some sort of reward
from Simon.

A reward?

Like what?

It's a deal with the devil,

so money or... fame

or her heart's greatest desire.

Yeah, she wants Gomber
out of jail.

Maybe that's
her heart's desire.

She could be
in love with him.

Ew. You know, people need
to have higher standards.

D-Deal with the devil. Great.

But where is she
keeping my sister?

(phone buzzing)

McGINNIS:
We got a search warrant
for Moira's apartment.

This might be a letter
from Gomber.

Does this cipher jog
any memories?

Uh, I don't remember Gomber
having anything like that

when I was with him.

Yeah. Why is
his letter so tiny?

It's called a kite.

Prisoners pass 'em
around.

Gomber could've
slipped that to Moira

when she visited yesterday.

All right.
Thought I'd check.

Tell Ms. Fan to sit tight.

Could I see that?

Nick, have you seen
a code like this before?

Oh. Um, okay.

F-Five letters.

Bet you that spells "Moira."

Okay. We got
to figure this out.

I'm e-mailing this
to my laptop.

Yeah, we can spread the word
ourselves.

Someone in this town
must've heard of Moira Baker.

Uh, Nancy, wait.

You're going
to Gomber's warehouse, right?

I mean, haven't the police
already checked it out?

They don't know where
the hidden staircase is.

Yeah, okay, listen,

it may not be so easy
for you to go back there.

It's just an abandoned building.

Yeah, where you experienced
something pretty intense.

Look, trust me,
when-when you put yourself

in the physical space
where that all went down,

it's gonna have
an impact.

I could go with you.

Why?

You were there for me.

When I was coming to
terms with my past.

I thought maybe I could...

do the same for you.

You don't owe me anything.

Especially now.

Just because
we're not together anymore

doesn't mean I don't care about

what you're
going through.

I'm not going through anything.

Just trying to help find
a missing kid.

Okay.

Just trying to help find
a missing kid.

Okay.

And all I'm saying is
let me help.

I think it's better
if I do it alone.

(door opens, bell jingles)

KAREN:
I didn't realize
how much testimony Nancy gave.

It's amazing
how she handled that.

CARSON:
Yeah.

She was different after Gomber.

It was like she put up a wall
between herself and the world.

It was subtle, but it was there.

Kate and I brought her
to a therapist to try and...

help her talk
about what happened,

but... Nancy
just kept saying

she was fine.

(phone rings)

Hello?

NICK:
Mr. Drew,

it's Nick.

Nancy's not home.

Uh, I know.

Um...

she's driving
across town right now.

But you're a lot closer
to where she's headed.

(brakes squeak)

(sighs)

You have got to be kidding me.

(engine shuts off)

It's not too late
to change your mind.

Actually, it is.

In that case,
I'll come with you.

Or I could call the cops.

Add another breaking and
entering charge to your docket.

Either way, I'm not letting
you go in there alone.

I don't need a bodyguard.

(lock clicks)

How 'bout a father?

Just don't slow me down.

You realize this look
says "cat burglar."

Do I criticize
your weekend sweater-vests?

Commentary rescinded.

Okay, we will save
a lot of time if we use

the same entrance I used

as a kid.

I don't remember
which one it was.

That's not like you.

Your memory is
relentlessly specific.

Yeah, but with this,
it's different.

I don't know why. I...

keep thinking back.

It's like my mind's blank.

You know, if you'd stayed home,
I could've asked you

to send me a picture
of the newspaper clipping

on my bulletin board.

That photo was taken
where Rose and I came out.

Karen's at
the house.

She was rereading the Gomber
transcripts from my files.

Hey, I need you
to do me a favor.

There's a newspaper clipping
on Nancy's bulletin board.

The photo
about the Rose Turnbull case.

Can you take a picture of it
and text it to me?

Okay, thank you.

(shutter sound effect)

Just sent it.

Stay safe.

(beeps)

(door opens,
entry bell jingles)

BESS:
We're closed today.

Um, so come again.

I heard about
George's sister.

Wanted to see
if I could help.

Okay, then... join us.

Um, Nick is translating
instructions from a madman.

Okay, um, Gomber used
a substitution cipher.

And he said
some pretty crazy things.

(exhales)
"Go to the shrine.

"Light the candles.

"Call out to Simon
and cut yourself with the knife.

"Leave your blood.

"It will link you to him.

"Simon will hide the child.

Bring the child
after night falls..."

Um...

"...and use the knife to..."

(exhales)

Use the knife
to what?

The letter says,

after nightfall,

Simon requires
the soul of a child...

as payment.

We should tell Nancy
about this.

Yeah.

I guess if I
hadn't found Rose,

he would have stabbed
her with a knife,

as a means to delivering
her soul to Simon.

But we still have
a couple hours of daylight left,

so I bet Ted
is somewhere else with Moira,

somewhere...

that Moira feels safe.

Okay. We'll keep
looking for connections

as to where
Moira could be.

And look into anyone
else named Baker.

She might have relatives
in the area.

Okay.

I'll offer
a cash reward

for any information
that helps us find Ted.

Let's keep it
anonymous.

Okay.

I remember.

When I was here

as a kid,

after Rose was safe,

I brought the cops back in here
to show them

I brought the cops back in here
to show them

where I'd been.

And I... couldn't find
this shelf again.

It was so...

(creaking)

GOMBER:
Simon?

Simon, when do I get
what was promised to me?

(rumbling growl)

(rumbling, deep voice):
As soon as you get me the child.

(gasps)

My flashlight fell.

I remember
these flashes of light.

Uh, the light helped me focus.

It helped me isolate
the details.

It helped me see what to do.

I wish I had known
you went through this.

didn't even know
I went through this.

And even now,
it's just, like, glimpses.

Like the rest of it
has been redacted.

What's the next thing
you remember?

(sighs):
I...

I got away
from Gomber.

I-I found Rose.

I untied her.

We ran.

I... I pulled the fire alarm.

We hid.

Gomber tried to find us, and...

that's when
the fire trucks came.

Maybe you don't remember
any of the other details

because they were
too frightening at the time.

I know that when your mom and I
got here, you were...

extremely...

calm.

(indistinct radio chatter)

Are you okay?

You didn't have to worry.

I'm fine.

Your mom and I tried
so many times

to get you to talk to us
about what happened that night,

but you'd always claim
that it was no big deal.

I get why you put
those walls up.

It was
a survival mechanism.

(sighs)

But maybe it's
not serving you anymore.

NANCY:
No way.

This fell out of my bag
when I was here as a kid.

I had forgotten all about this.

The tattoo helped him remember
where to find Simon.

(clacks)

(creaks)

What is this?

I think this is
Simon's shrine.

This wasn't
in the police report.

NANCY:
Yeah. I never told anyone

about this,
because I didn't remember it.

I must have repressed
the memories.

Uh, that's the same pattern
that we found in The Claw.

So maybe...
it's an occult symbol?

Some of these are
from late 2012,

Some of these are
from late 2012,

and other ones are early 2013,
when Rose was kidnapped.

Gomber must have
visited here.

H-H-He built the shrine
during that time,

and slowly, Simon corrupted him.

Who is Simon?

Wh-When Gomber whispered
to the...

tall thing
in the dark,

he called out its name.

GOMBER:
Simon!

(grunting)

You know, Rose never mentioned
any of this, either.

She said that her memory was
fuzzy because she was drugged.

But what if that's just
what Simon does to children?

Makes me think it's a dream.

Like the Sandman?

What if Simon...

made us forget?

Maybe that's
why my memory's in pieces,

because of him.

That's where Gomber
made his deal.

Deal for what?

Money, power,
I'm guessing.

In return
for the life of a child.

He was mentally unwell.

What makes you think
that there was

a-a supernatural presence
involved?

What makes you think
that there wasn't?

Look.

This was clearly a ritual.

Superstitions and rituals

are all evidence
of human behaviors,

inhuman.

Some kind of entity
affected my memory

the last time I was here.

What affected you was trauma.

What affected me was
a voice in the dark.

And I think that's who Moira
came to see.

And this theory
is based on...?

Gomber's letter.
He-he told her what to do.

She linked herself
to Simon with blood

and now she's completing
what Gomber couldn't...

and kill a child
as payment to Simon.

I'm looking for
an eight-year-old
girl with glasses.

What you just described
to me is a 25-year-old man!

Why don't you go get
your eyes checked

instead of offering
me inaccurate tips?!
But we

appreciate your willingness
to help. Thank you.

(whispers):
Sorry.

No, it's okay.

We'll try the next one.

You know, I've been meaning
to ask you. I...

I saw you
at Tiffany Hudson's funeral.

Oh. Y-You were there?

Yeah, I was standing
in the back.

I noticed my Aunt Diana
said something to you,

and then you ran off.

Why?

GEORGE:
Okay.

(panting):
Thank you. Thank you.

Hey, what happened?

Some friend
of a friend of a friend

says that
Moira Baker's grandparents

own an antique shop in Trenton--
I'm gonna check it out.

George. My truck's out front.

Where the hell is it?

Did you know that Ted
gets all A's in school?

Even in P.E.

You know, she's
the one Fan sister

who's gonna make it
out of this town.

I mean, me, I'm
obviously stuck here.

And Jesse actually
wants to stay here

so she can do marine
mammal rescue.

And Charlie...

she has no ambition.

And I say that
with affection.

I mean, you know what
it's like with siblings.

Uh, only child.

Oh. Lucky you. Let's go.

I feel sorry for the door

that gets in your way.

McGINNIS:
Accessory to kidnapping

of a minor means
your sentence gets doubled.

Or you could tell me
where to find the little girl

and Moira Baker.

You help us with that,
and maybe we could talk

about the possibility
of parole.
My conviction

will be overturned.

This time it's gonna work.

(glass shatters)

GEORGE:
Ted?

Ted?

Ted?

Are you here?

In Gomber's letter, there was
a-a... a ritual with a knife.

NANCY:
Cut your arm and...

link yourself to Simon
with blood.

What happens if we
get rid of the blood?

Here.

You actually believe
this ritual is real?

(sighs): Well...
lately I've found belief

to be a time-saver.

(decisive puffs)

(grunts in pain)

(screams)

(grunts, gasps)

(grunting in pain)

Nick.

(groans, sobs)

(groans, sobs)

Are you Moira?

Where is my sister!?

Where is Ted!?

(deep, distorted growling)

What the hell
is that?

I think I made
him angry.

Tell me where my sister is!

(sobbing):
I only wanted to free Nathan.

You are insane.

And I swear,
if I find out

that anything
has happened to Ted,

I'm gonna come back here
and kill you.

Get in there.

Ted!

TED:
Yeah?

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

How you doing?

You all right?

Oh, my God.

Ted!

Oh!

Ted.

Hi.

Ow.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

(panting):
Are you all right?

Yeah.

Are you sure?

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Thank you.

Can we go now?

(sighs)
Yeah.

(deep, distorted
rumbling and groaning)

(rumbling, deep voice):
I...

Who's there?

(loud groaning)

Simon?

(rumbling, deep voice):
I will find another child.

He's... he's
just gonna find

another human
to bargain with.

He'll just keep
victimizing children...

unless we stop him.

Simon preys on children.

He lulls them to sleep.

He made me forget.

He made me forget!

(grunting)

Nancy!

He made me forget!

If I send him away,

maybe I'll remember.

(screams)

(rumbling echoes fade)

(Nancy crying)

I-I was so scared.

I thought I'd never
see you and Mom again.

I thought I was gonna die.

You didn't die.

You saved yourself.

It's over now.

It's over.
I'm here.

I'm here.

(Nancy panting)

(sobbing)

Moira Baker confessed and
she named you as an accessory.

She said you gave
her a letter

that told her to go to Simon's
altar in the warehouse.

Just out of curiosity,

how did you know
that Simon was back?

A few nights ago...

pain in my scars woke me up.

Because of something

shifting.

Something awakening.

Well, he won't be able
to hurt anyone ever again.

Because I sent him away.

I wouldn't be so

sure of that.

I can still smell
him on you.

I'll be seeing him
sooner than you think.

Goodbye, Nathan.

(door buzzes)

(latch clicks)

Hey.

How was it?

Satisfying.

Mostly.

I'm fine.

For real, this time.

Got a bunch
of missed calls from Bess.

Hey, did something happen?

Ace woke up from his coma!

Yeah, I know,
I spoke to the doctor.

She said we can
visit him tomorrow.

That's really good news.

I'm gonna make him
a vision board to celebrate.

I Zillowed a really cute
bungalow out in Seal Cove.

Oh, and Owen says hi.

Uh, tell him I said

thank you for putting up
the anonymous money

for the crowd-source tips.

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

but I will say hi
to him for you.

(whispers):
It's Nancy.

Okay, I'll speak
to you later.

Well, we found Ted,

Ace is on the mend,

the kidnappers
are both locked up

and the community
came together.

and the community
came together.

As my uncle used to
say, we can enter

our homes
justified tonight.

Yeah.
It's from an
old western.

You okay?

Um, there is

one more thing, now that

everything has
turned out right.

I want to talk to you
about my mother.

Her name is
Regina Turani.

But she always
told me her maiden name

was Marvin.

And that her
older brother

was called Sebastian.

She had a younger brother,
Thaddeus, your father.

And now i-if what
my mom says is true,

you and I are-are

cousins.

No offense,

Bess, but my uncle Sebastian

and my dad didn't
have any sisters.

My mom said that was

the family story, you know,

after she ran off
with my father.

I've heard so much
about the Marvins.

And-and I came
to Horseshoe Bay to find out

if I'm one of you.

This might sound crazy...

but would you

consider comparing DNA?

(exhales) Sure.

Wait, really?
Yeah.

It's good to
know the facts.

Oh, okay, great!

Okay, so, all I would need
from you is saliva,

which I know sounds gross,
but I have

gloves and sanitizer
in the kitchen.

Okay, one request, though.

Yeah.

Nothing personal, but families
like mine get approached

for DNA comparison more
often than you might think.

Okay.
So, I'd like to have

an independent test
done on your DNA, too.

Just so we can
verify the results.

Yeah, sure.

The more tests,
the better.

Okay.

This was in the journal
I found today.

Why did she write this to me?

When you were
in kindergarten,

she had her first
health scare.

And you could sense something
was wrong, because you were you.

And you started asking
her questions about

death and... mortality.

And this was
her answer to you.

(quiet laugh)

We were running out
to get somewhere,

and you said, "Mommy,

"when you go to heaven,

what part of heaven
will you be in?"

And she just
blurted out,

"The northeast corner."
(laughs)

Just so we could
get in the car.

And then later when you
were half-asleep at bedtime,

you asked her if she
could draw you a map

of the northeast
corner of heaven,

so that you could find her
when you got there.

(paper ruffling)

"When you get to heaven...

"ask them where
the northeast corner is...

KATE:
"...and you'll see me sitting
under a big, green tree

"on a sunny hill,

"watching you with a smile,

"waiting for you
to come find me.

"No rush, of course.

"I love you, always...

KATE and CARSON:
"...always,

"always.

Mom."

(paper ruffles)

I really miss her.

(sniffles)

I know.

I'm sorry I had
all those walls up.

And I'm sorry
that I shut you out.

I'm sorry you felt
like you had to.

You don't have to,
anymore.

You know that,
right?

Yeah.

And I'll keep this
safe this time.

(both laugh)

(sniffles)

Maybe it's okay

NANCY:

Falling

Underneath...

Because that leads
to a connection,

which can lead to revelations.

And we battle
and we break it and...

And closure.

Easy

And new beginnings.

Doesn't seem to play...

And maybe some connections
deserve to be held

especially close,

like a letter,
tucked away safe inside

the cover of a trusty...

Hey, have you seen my journal?

I left it in my... room.

Karen found it in plain sight.

McGINNIS:
It's what helped us

get the arrest warrant.

What?

CARSON: You had
quite the list

of evidence against me.

Your notes had us
looking into the $50,000

payoff your
father received,

right after Lucy died.

That's all circumstantial.

McGINNIS: We also
have physical evidence.

Your father's
fingerprints

were on the knife from
Lucy's crime scene.

We checked it against
the prints he left

on his water glass at
the police station today.

Tell them that's a mistake.

Carson Drew, you're under arrest
for the murder of Lucy Sable.

No...

You have the right
to remain silent...

You can't be serious.

Why, why are you
letting this happen?

..right to an attorney...

Best thing you can do

is just take a step back.

He can explain.

I know he can explain!

Don't make
it worse!

Dad!

Tell them

you didn't kill her.
