Revenge (2011–2015): Season 4, Episode 18 - Clarity - full transcript

While dealing with grief, Emily is faced with collateral damage; Victoria goes after a new lead.

Previously on Revenge...

I found Lyman here

snooping through
your black laptop.

I didn't push him,
but I didn't help him.

You are the only person
in my life

that doesn't
keep secrets from me,

and I owe you the same.

Tony: I just
saw your wedding ring.

The ring is not exactly
what it looks like.

She's going after my friends
to do it...

First with Ben, and now...



This is a far cry from
the Margaux I knew last year.

She's angry that we were forced
to lie about Daniel's death.

The Daniel Grayson
Research Wing.

The board is still struggling
with the idea

of naming it after Daniel.

I think it's time
we took that step to end this

before she does.

We can clear Daniel's name
together.

The only way to end this

is by you telling the world
the truth.

Margaux:
The baby... He's gone.

Why was Emily with you?

She pushed me.

Please have these returned



and make sure
no other items are delivered.

Right away.

And Ms. LeMarchal's
daily news briefings

are in the kitchen,
if she's up to it.

Thank you.

Margaux:
The clothes were beautiful.

You're up.

I'll send Brigitte out
for some breakfast for you.

I can't eat.

At what time is the
groundbreaking gala tomorrow?

Darling.

You don't have to attend.

All we wanted
was to redeem Daniel's name.

The hospital wing
is the closest we've come,

and I need to see
something good after...

How can I miss someone
I have never met?

You're a mother,

and Emily should be behind bars
for taking that away from you.

Pushing you in front of that car
was attempted murder.

And I intend to share that
with the prosecutor's office.

No, Victoria, I...

Let's focus on our family.

No prosecutors.

Too much blood has been shed.

None of it is on your hands.

If only that were true.

I was so desperate
to expose Emily's secrets.

I had Lyman Ellis
steal what he could

off of Nolan's hard drive.

Before he could deliver it...

He was found dead...

On my devil's errand.

I should have listened to you
weeks ago and ended my revenge.

Get some rest.

Yeah.

Paper delivery.

Three days in a row.

You don't have to
keep checking in on me.

Am I that obvious?

Well, I already
poured you a cup of coffee,

so, yeah,
I'd say pretty obvious.

You doing okay today?

Still wish that I could
reach out to Margaux.

But I don't...
I don't even know what I would say.

At least the groundbreaking
for Daniel's wing is tomorrow,

so hopefully that will bring her
a little solace.

Well, it's you that I'm
worried about at the moment.

I'm trying
to keep my mind off it.

Really? How?

Hey.

Mr. Clarke.
Good morning.

Sorry, the, uh,
alarm didn't go off.

Job interview?

Ben made detective.

Yeah,
first day driving the Crown Vic.

Oh. Well,
congratulations are in order.

Thanks.

All right,
I'm gonna take my coffee to go.

I'm repairing the rigging today.
It's an all-day job.

Same time tomorrow?

You look great.

You have time
for some breakfast?

You know,
I should probably get going, too.

Before I forget...
My brother just texted me,

and he's coming in
for this promotion party

the guys are throwing me
tomorrow.

And maybe to meet this hot girl
that I've been seeing.

Oh, really?
Who's the girl?

You don't know her.

I'll see you later.

Louise:
Where is the cinnamon?

I can't make Nanny Hettie's
French toast without cinnamon.

Louise?

Oh. I came back early.

You have not seen family drama

until you've
been to an Ellis funeral.

It was horrible.

I ate my weight in grits
in three days.

Oh, see, I knew it.
I should have gone with you.

Seeing Lyman in that coffin just
gutted me.

And hearing Mama in front of

all the rest of those
liars and cheats

delivering a eulogy worthy
of Margaret Mitchell just...

It just made me ill.

The only lie I told myself was
that I could handle it alone.

Well, you're...
You're home now.

It's okay.

What can I get you?

- Well, two things.
- Mm-hmm.

First, I really need
one of our wonder twin nights.

They're so much better

than three Xanax
and a glass of ros?.

Well, that is high praise.
What else?

I want a baby.

We could adopt one.

Wow.

Well, we say we're like family,

so why don't we just be one?

We can raise a great kid in an open,
honest marriage

and make up for the mistakes
our parents made with us.

What do you think?

I'm...

I'm just...

Still trying to decide
what we should do tonight, so...

I know.

I know. I...
It's too much too soon.

I get it.

Will you at least think about it?
Please?

Mm-hmm.

Alexander: I think you all understand
the gravity of this matter.

Victoria:
Well, I've seen these.

And they should have no bearing
on tomorrow's gala.

The board's decision

to name the new research wing
in your son's honor

was predicated on our ability
to manage the publicity.

Victoria: Well, silly me.

And I thought it was predicated
on my $40 million donation.

Women's groups say
we're rewarding a violent man.

High-profile researchers
are pulling out.

The board had no choice.

There won't be
a Daniel Grayson Research Wing

at this hospital.

I have the full support
of LeMarchal Media behind me,

and I can rebut this trash
in two hours,

since I believe that the events
surrounding my son's death

have been highly exaggerated.

The board isn't comfortable with
this victim-shaming, Victoria.

I'm no victim.

I voted in support of the wing
because I have forgiven Daniel.

He shouldn't be judged for
the last 15 minutes of his life.

I move to reconsider.

You've been gracious enough,
Ms. Thorne,

but I'm afraid
this matter's settled.

Victoria:
You realize this means

I'll have to rescind my donation,
Alexander.

In light of
the board's new stance,

we've found other funding.

So the groundbreaking
is still tomorrow.

This meeting is adjourned.

Well, you're right...
You're no victim.

Daniel's a victim.
Margaux's a victim.

They both needed this.

Don't start.

I voted for the wing,
and I just tried to save it.

You should have told the truth
about Daniel.

That was a decision
we all made together.

I didn't want this.

Feel free to delude yourself.

But one thing I know

is that you have
the blood of my son

and my grandchild
on your hands.

Tony: The daycare center
is coming together nicely.

Mm. It is. And we'll open
as soon as we pass inspection.

But honestly, Tony,

scheduling that has been
a red-tape nightmare.

Well,
seven years in social services

have taught me
that the wheels of government

don't turn without a nudge or two.
I'll call.

Oh, well, then,
my employees, members,

and their soon-to-be
very well-cared-for children

thank you.

Well,
maybe you can show me how much.

Come out with me tonight.

I can't make up
any more excuses to drop by.

Some friends of mine
are getting together...

Just some drinks and good music
on the beach.

Nothing like the bashes
I've heard that you're famous for,

but you might enjoy yourself,
anyway.

I think I might.

Um...

I... I'd have to just
make sure that I'm free.

Well, my advice...
Be free.

Looks like my social worker
made quite an impression.

Is it that obvious?

How does Louise feel about
splitting time with Tony?

Um, fine.

I guess.

She doesn't know
she's splitting time with Tony.

Jack, the truth is...

I don't know how she'd react.

She's been so fragile lately.

And, honestly,
it just seems like

things are getting
more complicated every day.

Look, I can tell you firsthand
that it sucks to find out

that you've been
kept in the dark.

And if she really is
as fragile as you're saying,

then lying to her
is only gonna make it worse.

All right, well,
speaking of Ems...

Nice try. We're on you.

Talk to your wife.

So, uh,
now that you're a big-shot detective,

maybe you can find
that 80 bucks you owe me.

Can't solve 'em all, Willard.

Certainly not at this pace.

Victoria Grayson.

I don't believe I've officially
had the pleasure.

Well, it's only because you left me
waiting for over 30 minutes

while you walked down
memory lane.

There someone or something
that I can help you find?

Like that sign out there
that says "Men Only"?

Why don't you ask
your girlfriend

how well I respond to sarcasm?

Or maybe
I should ask your police chief

what he thinks
about his newest detective

dating a woman
who should be behind bars for fraud,

among other things.

And that you gave her
a big assist.

Help me now,

or your promotion will be
a blip of a memory.

Bye, boys.

Emily:
I have to clear Daniel's name.

There'll be press
at the gala tomorrow.

I'll do it there.

You don't owe Victoria
anything.

This has nothing to do
with Victoria.

Her words mean nothing to me.

But Margaux was reacting
to our lie.

She lost her baby.

I have to make it right.

Listen, you have to stop blaming yourself,
Amanda.

It was an accident.

You didn't know Margaux
before all of this.

Daniel's death changed her.

She's trying to salvage the name
of someone that she loves,

just like I did for you.

You asked me
to leave revenge behind.

This is what it looks like,
Dad.

So,
what's with this desperate ploy

to see the Lyman Ellis file?

Lyman was
my friend and attorney.

And we both know about
this precinct's,

shall we say,
subjective police reporting.

I wanted to make sure
the case was closed properly.

Yeah, well, it was.
Closed it myself.

Louise was the last person
to see him alive.

My heart breaks for her.

All that was found on Lyman
were his personal effects...

His wallet, watch, kerchief?

Nothing more?

Look,
I don't know what you're up to,

but it's damn sure
not about making sure

that I closed my case properly.

If I'm right,
this has something to do with Emily,

which means you're gonna have
me to deal with, too.

Oh. Drawing dramatic conclusions
from mere conjecture.

Maybe this new job isn't right for you,
after all.

How can I go with you
to the groundbreaking?

I know you have
Ben's promotion party.

Some of the rookies
still talk to me.

I can do both.

All right, so,
what would the new story be?

Malcolm broke into my house
and tried to kill me.

Daniel jumped
in front of the bullet,

and Malcolm fled.

The story is clean,
except for one thing.

You need me
to recant my statement

that you called me
about Daniel's attack.

You can tell them
that I asked you to lie

because I was afraid Malcolm
would come after me again,

which he did.

I know it's a lot to ask.

Things between us have been...

Awkward?

I don't know. I...
I thought we put all this to bed already.

I killed someone.

And I will protect you.

Jack, I wouldn't ask you this

if I wasn't absolutely sure
that I could.

I got to think about it.

Stevie: I don't.

Over my dead body.

- I see how you work, Emily.
- Excuse me?

I know you brought me to town
last year as a pawn

in your vendetta
against the Graysons.

I risked my sobriety to help.

You clearly manipulated me.

- I draw the line at my son.
- Mom!

- I have always protected Jack.
- Really?

He almost lost custody of Carl
because of you.

He almost lost Carl
because of a decision

that we all made together...
We didn't have a choice.

All right, enough!

You are a train wreck, Emily.

Jack will not be
your collateral damage again.

I take responsibility
for the things I've done,

but I was not alone in this.

If I have anything to say,
you will be alone going forward.

It's been years since I had
a homemade lemon tart.

It's been just as long
since I've made one.

But you were so good to me
after Daniel's passing

that I thought
I'd return the kindness

when I heard about Lyman.

You're very sweet.

But you have
a lot on your plate yourself.

I read that article.
The media can be cruel.

Yes, well,
I'll handle the press,

and I'll defend Daniel
until the day I die.

You never turn your back
on your children.

After Daniel died,

all these memories
came flooding back

every time I saw a picture
or heard an old voice-mail...

Or handled his belongings.

I can help you
with Lyman's things

if you need me to.

Well...

I didn't think you were here
for my darjeeling.

You're here
for the very same reason

that my late brother was,

and that is to hurt Nolan
with that flash drive.

I am here
because I care about you.

Take your things
and leave my home right now.

I can't believe
I almost fell for your sympathy.

You're trusting
the wrong people.

Nolan hasn't told you
everything.

Nolan and I have no secrets.

Did he tell you what happened
the night Daniel died?

The people to whom
you've pledged your loyalty

have two faces,

and you...

You've got a good heart.

Don't let them break it.

You were unfair to Emily.

She's been unfair to you
over and over.

Clearing Daniel's name
isn't just about

you helping a friend.

There are legal ramifications.

- I was a cop. I know that.
- Then let's play this out.

You corroborate Emily's story.

Police could start
kicking over cans,

and you go down

for obstruction of justice
and murder,

which is a capital offense.

- And she was an FBI agent.
- Who was pointing a gun at me.

Exactly what you should
have said that night.

The self-defense ship
has sailed.

What about Carl?

Carl's a reason to come clean.

Margaux came after us
because of the lie about Daniel.

This is my mess, too.

The only reason
you're even considering this

is because of
how you feel about her.

Does she know?

She knows.

I'm past that.

You positive?

You come from
two alcoholic parents.

Make sure Emily's
not your glass of scotch.

You do know that, uh,

breaking
the open-container law...

It's...
It's a gateway crime.

Told you I had a bad side.

And an empty glass.

I'll be right back.

I'm really glad you came.

Hi. It's Louise.

Leave a message.

Hey, um, Louise, sorry,
I just missed your call.

You're probably
leaving a message.

Um...

I'm swamped at the club, so...

I'm... I'm probably gonna
be here pretty late.

You don't need to wait up.

I'll see you in the morning.

Before I jump to conclusions,
does "swamped at the club"

mean something
other than the obvious?

It's... Tony, um...

The thing with Louise...

It's not
a traditional marriage.

Then why lie to her?

This isn't how I work, Nolan.

I won't be the other man
in someone's marriage.

Okay, I just...

I just need some time to,
you know, figure things out.

That's the thing about being honest,
Nolan.

You don't.

You ever figure things out,
call me.

Right.
We are almost there.

No, no, no, no.
I'll do the cooking, baby bro.

Last time you manned the grill,
we had to order Chinese.

You're just never gonna
let me forget that.

It ranks right up there

with the time you taught
yourself the art of kissing.

Wow.

Really, Kev?
In front of the girl?

- Cease and desist.
- No, no, no.

I need dirt on you.

Kevin, spill.

No.
I think I'm gonna keep my best stuff

for Ben's big party
tomorrow night.

Yeah, well,
I can't wait for that.

What about you, Emily?

You have
an annoying brother like me?

Um, no, I'm a...
I'm an only child, actually.

I bet you had your dad
wrapped around your finger,

just like my little girl does.

We're close.

I mean...

We were close.

I, uh...

I lost my parents
when I was young.

They died in a car crash.

Oh.

I'm, uh...

I'm sorry to hear that.

Tell you what,
why don't you let me handle the talking?

You stick to what you know
and go check that grill.

Oh. Sorry.
I'll get that.

- Jack.
- Hey.

You've got company.

Yeah. It's fine.
Come in.

You talk to your mom?

And you're not gonna help me.

I can't. I'm sorry.

It's just too risky.

The cops are gonna
turn your story over and over

looking for holes.

And I will have answers
for them.

I've gotten away with
bigger things than this.

No one knows that
better than me.

If you don't back my story,
the plan is dead.

Then it's dead.

I got to think
about Carl and...

And you.

I'm not doing anything

to put the people that I love
in jeopardy.

Kevin:
Ready to put the burgers on.

Oh.

- Hey, man.
- Hey.

Um, Jack, this is,
uh, Kevin, Ben's brother.

Porter.

I've heard a lot about you.

Well, I...
I don't mean to interrupt.

I just need to know
how Emily takes hers.

Rare.

The bluer, the better.

Let it go, Ems.

You want to tell me
about last night?

What was going on
at the beach club?

Oh, um...

It turned out it was nothing,
so...

Okay.

'Cause there's absolutely no
reason for you to go into work

before the sun
is comfortable in the sky.

Stay!

Let's watch trashy TV
and get day-drunk

and finish our talk.

Well, that does sound indulgent,
but, uh, duty calls, so...

Well, I guess I'll just keep
reading gossip rags all day.

You know, I can't believe

how many articles
are still trashing Daniel.

It's so hard for me to imagine him
attacking Emily like that.

You didn't know him
for that long.

I guess.

But I just met you,
and I know you.

Which is exactly
what I told Victoria

when she dropped in yesterday.

She was here?

She came to pay her respects,

five minutes in,
she spun it into her usual vitriol,

so I threw her out.

You know, when we get the baby,
we should install a gate

to keep the hyenas
from dropping in

with store-bought
lemon tart.

I... I know you're still thinking
about the baby.

I am.

And, uh,
I'm about to be late, so...

Call me later?

Yeah, of course.

Sorry to intrude,
but you haven't been returning my calls.

I finally made progress
in the White Gold matter.

With all that's happened,
I had forgotten about my inquiry.

She sent word
through one of her associates.

She is stateside

and has agreed to take care
of your Emily Thorne problem.

Don't pursue it any further.

With all due respect,

don't let what just happened to you
cloud your judgment.

Arrêtez tout, maintenant...
I don't want Emily hurt.

The wheels are in motion.

I already transferred the money

to the designated
Cayman account,

and her point person
has gone dark.

We have no way to reach her.

No,
you have no way to reach her.

If you ever
question my judgment again,

I'll make sure
she finds you next.

You're here early.

Well, uh, my beach body

couldn't survive another
Southern-fried breakfast, and...

Wait, what's up?

I know you're not here
to reserve a primo cabana, so...

I asked Jack to help me
clear Daniel's name.

He said no.

Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Slow down.

Why would you want to open
that can of Grayson worms?

For Margaux?

'Cause of the baby?

Ems, I know you feel bad,
but Jack was right.

Do you know what could happen?

You'd think after four years,

you guys would have
a little faith that I do.

Well...

Look, I just need to erase Jack
from the narrative.

Can you help me?

Look, I have many skills,

but I can't manipulate
what people have heard... Yet.

I know. I just
thought it would inspire something.

Yeah,
like abandoning this crazy idea.

Nolan,
I have to do something good.

I... I mean this in the best possible way,
but...

Emily Thorne
was not built for good.

She was built
to clear her dad's name,

which she did...
Brilliantly.

So there's nothing you can do?

Yeah... I can tell you

to enjoy the perks
of being a beloved socialite

who's earned them.

Stevie: David.

Stevie.

That's a nice surprise.

- We need to talk about Emily.
- Yeah.

You know what,
you were right the other day

when you told me
she'd come around.

Things between us are better.

Oh.
Great for the two of you.

But keep her away from Jack.

Where's that coming from?

She asked him
to change his story

to help her clear Daniel's name.

I talked him out of it,
but what about the next time

when she asks him to do
something reckless?

Emily wanted to do
the right thing.

- You knew?
- Yeah.

She suddenly gets a conscience
and Jack's supposed to hop to?

Did you really think that ill-conceived plan
was a good idea?

No, I didn't,
but Emily's been on her own a long time.

I don't have a right
to force my way.

You have every right.
You're her father.

Don't shirk
your responsibilities

because you feel guilty
about her childhood.

You're out of line.

You don't know a thing
about our relationship.

I know enough!

Stop fixing this damn boat

and take responsibility for
the fire you lit 20 years ago!

Conrad framed you
for Flight 197,

but you slept with his wife
first.

Your bad choices
knocked over the first domino.

I got work to do.

- So that's it?
- Yeah, that's it.

We've both made mistakes,

but you don't have a right
to crucify me for mine.

That's the end
of the conversation.

- Ow!
- Oh! David!

Emily wanted to redeem Grayson.

These really must be
the end times.

Well, thank the revenge gods
you said no,

'cause there could have been
major fallout for both of you.

I know.

You want to know the truth?

I almost said yes
when she asked me.

I know, Jack.

And on top of it,
Daniel saved Emily's life,

and we destroyed
his reputation.

And I still don't know
what's best for Carl

'cause Emily's plan
could land me in jail.

But the cover-up about Daniel
almost did the same thing.

Okay, Jack.

Don't let sleeping lies
dog you.

There's some bells
that can't be un-rung,

like the one that got me
to church on time.

You still haven't
talked to Louise?

No.

I mean, what's the point?

Things were over with Tony
before they even began,

and...
Louise is too broken right now.

So you stay unhappily married?

For how long?

Why does she have
such a hold over you?

You remember when I said that
she was emotionally fragile?

Yeah.

Her brother Lyman's death
wasn't entirely an accident.

She caught him snooping
on my laptop.

They got into a fight.

He slipped.

She let him fall to protect me.

I've just had this growing knot
in my stomach

ever since she told me,
and now...

She wants to have a baby.

Like, I want a family
and a real marriage one day, but...

With somebody stable.

Not someone who...

Not someone you pity.

Sounds awful.

But...

Yeah.

How did you figure out
who I am?

Your Cayman account helped.

The LeMarchal name carries a lot
of weight in the Caribbean,

especially
in the black markets.

So once I knew your alias...

I need to cancel
the Thorne job.

Your associate
went to great lengths

to persuade me
to take this job...

And failed.

But when I found out
who he was working for,

how could I say no?

I love a kick-ass,
powerful kind of girl.

I wasn't myself
when I asked him to hire you.

You were
the darkest part of yourself.

Don't be ashamed.
Own it.

Oh, I am nothing like you.

You want me to cancel?

Fine.

But I still have one issue...
You know my real identity.

And since my anonymity
is important to me,

you and I have a problem.

If anything happens to me,
an e-mail will be sent

outing your real identity
to Interpol.

You're threatening me.

You're risking your life
to save your enemy's?

I have nothing left to lose
but my soul.

And I'm not willing
to give that up just yet.

Louise?

Louise!

Oh, God.

Are you okay?

You scared me.

I'm a big girl, Nolan.

I can swim in the deep end
alone.

Guess you didn't have to
work late tonight.

No.

Thought we could talk.

Now, is this about my sudden
outbreak of baby fever?

It is about us.

I think it's time that we...

End this marriage.

We got into this to liberate you
from your family,

which we did.

But...

I mean, I'm just worried
that the longer we stay in this,

the more
blurred lines are gonna get.

Lou-Lou, say something.

We both agreed
that this would be temporary.

A fun summer of debauchery.

I guess I just...

Got a little carried away
with playing house.

I'll call the lawyers
in the morning,

and...
I'll be out of here as soon as I can.

There's no rush.

We'll always be friends...
Forever.

How can we be anything but?

You're my knight in Versace armor,
right?

Hm.

And thank you
for being completely honest with me.

Hey,
I thought you'd be dressed.

We were gonna get a bite to eat
with Kevin before the party.

I think I should stay home.

You and I
can celebrate together later.

Okay, okay, hey, what's...
What's... What's going on?

You've been different
since Jack showed up.

Kevin said you two were in
a pretty intense conversation.

I wasn't gonna ask.

Look, I asked Jack
to help me clear Daniel's name.

Don't. I've already heard all of
the reasons why it's a bad idea.

Not from me you haven't,

since you didn't even think
to discuss it.

You know,
a little heads-up

that the girl I'm dating
was gonna retract

a statement she made
in a case that I closed

would have been nice,

seeing how it could
affect my job.

Look, I would have told you.

When?
After you figured it out with Jack?

Oh, don't make this
about something that it's not.

Then don't pretend
it's nothing.

I know that it's not about him.

I know this is about
what happened to Margaux.

This is about everything.

People have gotten hurt and died
because of all of this.

So much has happened
that can't be undone.

This one thing...
This one thing I wanted to undo.

With another lie?

This other story

is just gonna be like
a snake chasing its own tail.

Yeah, I know that, Ben.

I live between two worlds.

You couldn't possibly
understand.

Yeah, but I want to.

Oh, come on. Don't do that.
Don't shut me out.

You should go to your party.

And you should come with me.

It might be nice for you
to be around a bunch of people

who expect nothing from you
but to have a good time.

With me
at the head of that line.

Ben.

Look, I can see who you are,
Emily.

That's not a lie.

I hope you change your mind.

You still have your hand.

Yeah, I cut myself pretty deep,

but Dr. Raffin said
there wasn't any real damage,

so you didn't have to come by.

I feel responsible.

I shouldn't have
attacked you earlier.

Our kids aren't kids, Stevie.

We can't hold their hand.

I know, but...

Jack's been so reckless
when it comes to Emily.

It scares me.

Emily's his kryptonite,
just like Victoria was yours.

Emily's not Victoria.

I hope to God you're right.

- Glad you're okay.
- Yeah.

You look beautiful.

You came.

You were right.

Your new plan's the only way

to keep the police
from looking under rocks.

And despite everything
that we've been through lately,

I'm not letting you
do this alone.

And besides,
I'm a sucker for a groundbreaking.

I'm ready.

Are you?

Kevin: And while I'm not
totally comfortable

getting lit
with a bunch of cops,

I am honored to raise a glass
to my brother's friends,

who I pray
help him close cases,

because he can't find his ass
with both hands.

To Detective Hunter.

- Detective Hunter.
- Cheers. Cheers.

Ahh.

- Proud of you, bro.
- Thanks, man.

If you're looking
for your girl,

maybe you should
check with your ex-partner.

Look, I told you...
They're just friends.

She and Jack go way back.

There's nothing more to it.

You sure about that?

It is because of the generosity
of many donors

that we're able to break ground

for the new research wing here
at Southampton Medical Center.

Without further ado...

Terrific job.
Very, very exciting.

May I?

Ms. Thorne,
I've already spoken on behalf of the board.

I've been very generous with
this hospital over the years.

That should buy me five minutes at the podium,
don't you think?

Of course.

Good evening.

We're all aware of the scandal

casting a shadow
over tonight's announcement.

The board elected
not to name the research wing

after my ex-husband

because people believe
that he broke into my house

and tried to attack me.

That is the story
that I told that night.

But none of it is true.

The truth...

Is that Malcolm Black
was my attacker.

He tried to kill me.

And Daniel Grayson
took a bullet

that was meant for me.

That night,

Daniel saved my life.

I told this story
to protect myself

and the ones that I love,

but it only festered.

And tonight it stops.

I know that none of this
makes sense

and that there are
many unanswered questions,

like why was even I attacked
that night?

There's only one explanation.

There's one secret that I kept.

And it has cost the ones I love

more than I ever wanted.

What the hell, Ems?

I am David Clarke's daughter.

Woman: Does David Clarke
already...

I am Amanda Clarke.
