Ringer (2011–2012): Season 1, Episode 7 - Oh Gawd, There's Two of Them? - full transcript

My name is Bridget.

I witnessed a murder.

Just get up on the stand and
tell the judge what you saw.

- We'll protect you.
- You don't get it.

Bodaway wants me dead, I'm dead.

I ran to my sister,
Siobhan, for help.

Siobhan? Siobhan!

Siobhan killed herself,
and I assumed her identity.

It was so easy.

I saw a way out, and I took it.

They all think that I'm her.



Her husband.

It's Gemma.
She's missing.

Her lover.

Your wife
knows about us.

She knows about the
affair, the baby.

Her best friend.

I would like to report
someone missing.

Gemma Butler.

I think she was the victim
of foul play.

And I can tell you where to
find the evidence to prove it.

I caught a potential
missing persons case today

and found some fingerprints that
might be of interest to you.

How do you figure?

I'm assuming the name



Bridget Kelly rings a bell.

Okay, here we go.

Stay on him, okay?

Do you know where your
wife is, Mr. Butler?

Mr. Butler, when's the
last time you saw her?

It's been over 48 hours
since Gemma went missing.

Do you think your
wife is still alive?

Has there been
a request for ransom?

Is it true your
wife thinks

you're having an
affair, Mr. Butler?

Can you confirm rumors that
you're filing for a divorce?

Can you people just back off?

Did you have
anything to do with

your wife's disappearance,
Mr. Butler?

Whoever did this...

I want my wife back.

Are you a suspect?

What are the police questioning
you about, Mr. Butler?

Mr. Butler, what really
happened to your wife?

The police are continuing
to investigate the disappearance

of prominent New York architect
Gemma Butler.

Siobhan, come on.

You're stressing
yourself out.

It's not good for the baby.

Sorry.

It's just hard not to watch.

Press have publicly
indicted Henry,

he's not even a suspect.

It's unbelievable.
I know.

Do you know
anyone we could hire?

Like a private investigator.

Why? You don't think the police
are doing a good job?

No, I'm sure they are.

Just think about
how many people go missing

every year
and are never found.

Well, that's not
going to happen.

Gemma's father is one of the
most powerful men in the city.

We have to trust
that the cops are on it.

I, uh, spoke with
Henry this morning.

He wants to know if we're going
to the Art Pavilion opening.

Is he going?

Well, he said he felt
he didn't have a choice.

Took Gemma over two years
to oversee the construction

of the building
and to design it.

He wants to honor his wife.

He doesn't realize

that the whole point
of the evening

will be completely overshadowed.

Dad?

Yes, they just got here.

Thank you.

Really, Juliet?

Oh, thanks a lot, Dad.

They're not here for me.

Just a few questions,
Mrs. Martin.

We believe you have
vital information

regarding Gemma
Butler's disappearance.

Did you find Gemma?

Juliet, you should
get ready for school.

We can speak
in the living room.

Actually, we'd prefer

to do this down
at the precinct.

Is that necessary?

We've identified a suspect

in connection to
Mrs. Butler's disappearance.

The case is now
a joint investigation

with the NYPD and the FBI.

This is a
federal case?

I know that you have a lot
of questions, Mr. Martin.

If your wife
comes with us,

I hope we'll all get
some answers.

I'll just get my purse.

The phones don't work
down at the precinct?

I'm sorry?

Well, you could've
phoned my wife

and requested her to come in.

What's with the personal escort?

It's a courtesy, Mr. Martin.

My wife's pregnant.

And she's been through a lot
these past days.

This had better be brief.

Hey, it's Bridget.

I'm not sure what to say
or how to explain,

but I think I really
messed up this time.

Just a second.

Detective Saldana.

Daddy, can I spend
the weekend with Monica?

Doesn't Monica live
in Connecticut?

Stamford's only an hour away,
and her Mom's gonna be in

the city, so she can
pick me up after school.

I won't do anything wrong.

I promise.

You already banned me
from seeing Erica.

Can I at least have one friend?

Nobody's saying
you can't have any friends.

Daddy,

come on,
you know Monica's parents.

They'll be there
the whole weekend.

Okay, fine.

Just have the Reynolds call me,
will you?

Yay, I can come.

What do I bring?

Mr. Martin,

I've just been told
our investigators

would like to ask you
some questions as well.

Why?

Apparently, the last phone call
Gemma Butler made

before she went missing
was to your husband.

I understand
how important it is

for you to protect
Bridget Kelly,

but my priority is
finding Gemma Butler.

Come on, Saldana.

You can't release
Bridget's name

or even a photo
to the press.

Look, at this point,

all I'd confirm is
that we have a suspect.

If Bodaway Macawi believes
that Bridget Kelly's right here

in New York, he'll make sure
someone takes care of her.

And I wouldn't put it past him
to come here and do it himself.

Bridget Kelly's sister is
Gemma Butler's best friend.

Okay, just
trust me, okay?

We're working toward
the same goal, right?

Appreciate you coming
down here, Mrs. Martin.

You look a little nervous.
Can I get you anything?

You want some water,
coffee, aspirin?

Let's just get this over with.

Mr. Martin, do you
know who this is?

Can you identify
the woman in that photo?

- Bridget Kelly.
- Bridget Kelly.

Ringer S01E07
"Oh Gawd, There's Two of Them?"

But you never actually met
Bridget Kelly?

No. Siobhan just
told me about her.

Her name is Bridget.

How could you not tell me
that you have a twin?

I didn't tell anyone.

I'm not just anyone, Siobhan.

I'm your husband!

I-I know.
And I wanted to tell you.

- I-I just...
- What? It never came up?

In the five years
of our marriage,

you couldn't find
the right moment?

Hey, Daddy,

um, I was
wondering if...

Oh, sorry.

I didn't realize
you two were bonding.

I'll talk to you later.

Wait a moment, Juliet.

Andrew, please.

She's our daughter.

She should know.

Siobhan has a twin sister.

Oh, God.

There's two of them?

I know this is hard
to understand,

okay, but this was a part of
my life that I wanted to forget.

I wanted to pretend
that she didn't exist.

I know it was wrong.

So w-what did she do
that was so awful?

Bridget was always
in trouble.

She abused drugs,
she couldn't keep a job.

I was always
cleaning up her messes.

She never thought about
the consequences

until it was too late.

Why didn't you think you
could share this with me?

It wasn't about that, Andrew!

Bridget represented a part of
my life that I thought was over.

I never thought I would
see her again.

Well, then why are you
telling me now?

Bridget was supposed to testify
in a murder trial.

She showed up
on my doorstep.

I took her in,

but she bolted.

The FBI contacted me.

They think that she might

somehow be involved
in Gemma's disappearance.

What?

I don't understand it either.

But I didn't want you
caught off guard

if the police talked to you.

Please.

Say something.

I-I don't understand.

Why would she hurt Gemma?

She's an addict.

Maybe she needed the money.

I don't know.

It's impossible to understand
that kind of behavior.

That's all.

Okay, l-let's just start
from the beginning.

Okay? Just take me
back to The Hamptons.

September 9, you...

Got a sec?

Yeah. Excuse me.

It's interesting.

Your husband and Mr. Butler knew
exactly who Bridget Kelly was.

I thought you were keeping
your sister a secret.

It's hard keeping anything
a secret with you guys around.

You got anything else
you'd like to volunteer?

My sister's not
in New York anymore.

Hey, it's Bridget.

I'm not sure what to say
or how to explain, but...

I think I really
messed up this time.

And I don't think there's
anything you can do to fix it.

I have to leave New York.

I was thinking maybe Europe.

We always used to talk about
going there.

Anyway, I, um, I just wanted
to say I'm sorry

and good-bye.

She left it this morning.

I tried calling the number back,
but it's blocked.

May I?

Message was left at 8:15 a.m.

That's just shortly after

Detective Saldana
came to get you.

So?

So how can I be sure

that you weren't
helping Bridget,

telling her to get out of town?

I assure you, Agent Machado,

my talking to you
doesn't help my sister.

What did Bridget mean by

"I really messed up big
this time?"

I don't know.

What's your sister's
relationship to Gemma Butler?

I don't know.

We have evidence
connecting Bridget

to Gemma's disappearance.

I can put her
in the Butler home.

And you have no idea
how your sister

and your best friend
know each other?

The only connection
that I'm aware of

is a conversation you had
with Gemma about my sister.

Do you even care
that your best friend's missing,

Mrs. Martin, and that
your sister's involved?

What kind of question is that?

You tell me.

Lover's wife out of the picture

and troublemaker
sister on the run.

We're done here.

Henry.

You doing okay?

I just want to go home.

Car's downstairs.

Mrs. Martin.

Just one more thing.

It's about Malcolm Ward.

Can I just meet you
downstairs?

I'll be in the car.

I know you've been in contact
with Mr. Ward.

Well, he called
me a few times.

He was concerned
about Bridget.

Well, now there's reason

to be concerned about him...
he's missing.

If your sister calls again,
let her know.

Okay, I know it's
a long shot, but...

that news might get her
to come back and testify.

Bodaway was looking
for Bridget,

and he thought Malcolm
had the answer.

And if he didn't...

You think he might... be dead?

Well, I honestly don't know.

All I know is there were signs
of foul play.

The number you have reached

is not in service at this time,
and there is no new number.

The number you have reached
is not in service at this...

Hey.

Check on him.

He's still breathing.

I got to take a leak, man,
and I want some food.

All right.

We'll be at the spot soon.

What about him?

He's high.
Just leave him.

Hello? Hello?

Hello?

They asked me
a lot of questions

about your sister.

Questions
I couldn't answer.

Who's Malcolm Ward?

Malcolm is my sister's
NA sponsor.

?

Please tell me you didn't bake.

Hey, I'm trying
to celebrate,

not kill you.

Bakery up the street.

What'd you wish for?

Didn't.

It's not my birthday.

You're three
months sober.

That deserves a wish.

Then I wish to keep this up
for a very long time.

You will.

Thanks to you.

Can I get another wish?

Sure.

I wish you never leave.

Where am I going?

I don't know.

People leave
all the time.

? Mama, the world
makes no sense ?

I couldn't have done
this without you.

Malcolm, if it
weren't for you, I...

? Mama, the world
makes no sense... ?

Bridge...

We can't.

I know.

?

? mmm

? I channel all the past

? all the good...

So that's how you
knew about Juliet?

Because Bridget's
an addict.

How bad was it...

your sister's
drug problem?

There were times I didn't think
she'd make it through.

I read about Bridget online.

She witnessed
her friend

being strangled
in a strip club.

Was going to testify, but ran.

What sort of people
was she mixed up with?

Are we safe, Siobhan?

Is Juliet safe?

She left the country.

So she says.

You haven't seen her
in what, six years?

She's an addict.

A prostitute.

How do you know
she's telling the truth?

You said yourself
that you

didn't understand the
way she was behaving.

I'm not sure you really know
what she's capable of.

She's gone.

What difference does it make?

She can't hurt us anymore.

Doesn't forgive the fact
that you weren't honest with me.

What about our,
uh, promise?

No more secrets.

I told you the truth.

Only because you had to.

I'm going to
call Juliet.

Starting to regret letting her
go away for the weekend.

Just say it.

Say what?

It was a mistake.

It was a mistake.

You know how I feel
about you, right?

But we crossed
a line,

and it can't
happen again.

It was my fault.

It's mine. I...

I want you to
know, I will be

here for you in any other way.

No matter what?

No matter what.

Latte and a coffee for Charlie?

Thank you.

I need your help
with something.

But don't ask too
many questions.

Trust me... the less
you know, the better.

Just tell me you didn't
throw back a fifth

or hijack
your stepdaughter's bong.

No.

Then that's all
I need to know.

My best friend is missing.

She's been gone two days.

Like, gone gone or, like,
she just got fed up

and didn't tell anybody
she went to the spa gone?

I wish that's all it was.

Her name
is Gemma Butler.

Have you read about it
in the papers?

It sounds familiar.

Is she that architect?

Yeah.

That article made it sound
like her husband did it.

He didn't.

And I know that the cops
are chasing the wrong suspect.

Oh.

How do you know?

Falls under the category
of "too many questions," right?

You catch on quickly.

Okay.

So what can I do here?

You were a cop, right?

Uh-huh.

I was hoping you could go
to the precinct,

ask a buddy to take a look
at the evidence.

I can't just walk
into a precinct

and start playing detective.

I mean, what am I
going to tell them?

"Hey, guys.

"My friend, she really thinks

"you're barking
up the wrong tree here,

but, you know, she can't tell
you what or who or how or when."

I mean, I don't
think so.

Charlie, I came to you

because I don't have
anyone else that I can trust.

Oh, you-you trust me.

Yeah, okay.

You haven't even given
me your name yet.

Siobhan Martin.

Well...

I finally think we are
making some progress.

Siobhan Martin.

You know, when I agreed
to be your sponsor,

I thought it was going to be
a whole lot easier than this.

So that's a yes?

- You'll help me?
- That's an...

I'll see what I can do.

?

? Is there any way

? to get this weight
off my skin? ?

You didn't think we
were dumb enough

to let you get
away that easy?

Shut up!

Stop following me.

Even if you don't
lead us to Bridget,

we're still gonna find her,
one way or the other.

Not if I can help it.

Did you find anything?

Just that Bridget Kelly
is their only suspect...

And you are her twin sister.

Is that why you're so hell-bent on

trying to clear the suspect's name?

Look, Siobhan,
I want to help, all right?

I took a peek into the case file.

Another question is...
Where's Gemma's car?

Henry Butler didn't seem to know.

You think there might be
a clue in the car?

It could be.

Maybe somebody tried to hide it.

Maybe that's where
the attack started.

Car could lead to something.

What if I told you
I knew where it was?

How involved in this are you?

Again. Too many questions.

Okay.

JFK.

Long-term parking.

I'll get you
the exact location.

Just call me if
you find anything.

I will do.

And, Charlie, if I haven't
said it already...

Thank you.

You didn't.
And you're welcome.

Hey!

Let it out.

Okay. Let's...
Let's get out of here.

I don't think I can walk.
Let me just get you outside,

and then we'll get
a cab back to my place.

Okay?
No, I have to get home.

I have to get there
before my dad gets back.

Monica, you're drunk.

You can't drive.
No.

It's okay. I'll just walk
it off for a little while.

We should just go
back to my place.

And I'll have my dad's driver

take us back to
your apartment, okay?

Juliet, are you thick?

No. My parents are
gonna kill me.

I have to take the car
home that I came in.

I know.

I'll get you home.
It's all right.

Gemma's opening's
about to start.

Ready to go?

Are you sure you want to?

You still seem upset.

I'll be fine.

I didn't tell you
about Bridget because...

I was ashamed.

It sucks to feel that way
about your family.

You don't have to feel ashamed.

It's not like you did
those things.

It's different with twins.

I don't know how
to explain it.

I always felt
responsible for Bridget.

I guess...

I was afraid that if
I told you the truth,

that it would change
the way you felt about me.

Can't you give me
a little more credit?

I should've.

I'm sorry, it...

I know it's wrong, it's just...

Sometimes it's easier to lie.

You know what I mean.

Andrew, no one tells the
truth 100% of the time.

Being honest...
It makes you vulnerable.

And that's scary.

I'm sure there
are things that

you're not 100%
honest with me about.

I'd be lying if
I said otherwise.

Well, you don't have to.

I promise you,
I'll never judge.

What, even if they're awful?

Mm... yeah.

When I found out
you were pregnant...

I wasn't happy.

Really?

We weren't in a good place.

We weren't speaking.

Barely having sex anymore.

And getting pregnant seemed
like a complication.

But I realize...

Now, that it was a blessing.

This baby means
everything to me.

And that's why the lies hurt.

I just don't want...

Anything to go wrong
ever again between us.

I don't either.

I've lost too much already.

I don't want to lose you, too.

? I must've had
a peculiar kind of charm ?

? for you to fall
in love with me ?

? with my bird's nest hair

? pompon arms

? I thought you'd
never think of me ?

? My heart and mind,
they were a circus ?

? my thoughts and vision
had no focus ?

? on what's in front of me...

It must be important.

Hello.

Yes, Mr. carpenter.
I know who you are.

You're Juliet's
English teacher.

Listen, um...

I'm calling about Juliet.

Why? What's wrong?

She's been in a car accident.

Mr. Carpenter, where's my child?
Where's Juliet?

She's with Monica. But please,
Mr. Martin, calm down.

Juliet's fine.
You're telling me to calm down

after my child's
been in a car accident?

The cops said that
they'd been drinking.

That it's a miracle
they're unharmed.

And I should stay calm?

I'm just trying to put
this in perspective.

What are you
even doing here?

No offense, you've been
her teacher what, a week?

She called me.

Said it was
an emergency.

But just so you know, I called
you as soon as I got here.

I'm gonna go.

If you need anything else...

No, we're good.

Juliet.

Oh, my God.

Are you okay?

I'm okay, dad.

Are you sure you're not...
I'm fine, really.

I don't understand.
Why were you driving?

You only have
a learner's permit.

What were you even
doing in the city?

I spoke with Mrs. Reynolds,
and she told me

that you two would be
in stamford all weekend.

There-there was
a change of plans.

It wasn't a big deal.
Not a big deal?

You were drinking and driving!

I had two beers.

It's not like I
was doing coke!

Oh, well, in that case...

Dad!

I... I don't know what
you want me to tell you.

Monica was
totally trashed.

She needed to
get her car home.

I-I was just trying
to help, okay?

Well, you were very helpful.
So helpful, in fact,

you almost got
the both of you killed.

This is exactly why
I called Mr. c.

All you ever do
is get pissed off!

I have every right
to be pissed off.

Between the drugs
and the fighting

and the getting
thrown out of school...

But this time, Juliet...

I'm done.

What are you gonna do?

Put me up for adoption?

No. No, 'cause I know
you'd actually enjoy that.

I'm taking away your trust fund.

No credit cards,
no allowance.

What?

It's the only way to get
through to you, Juliet.

Until you can start to prove

that you're getting
back on track,

really trying to
get back on track...

You're cut off.

Now I'm going to talk
to Monica's father.

I'm sorry, Juliet.

You owe me, bitch.

Like, ten million dollars.

What?

You're a lucky man.

You found Bridget.

Mm, no.

But missing persons
discovered

a little activity on Malcolm
ward's bank card at an atm

right here in Manhattan.

This was two hours ago.

That's him.

That's Malcolm Ward.

If he's in New York...

That means Bridget Kelly's
still here.

Welcome, everyone,
to a very special evening

celebrating the dedicated
work of Gemma Butler

and the opening of your new
Hamilton art pavilion.

?

?

Car accident?

Juliet's gonna be fine,

but Andrew needs
to stay with her.

You should move away
from the window.

Why?

I'm here to celebrate
my wife's work.

I can stand wherever I want.

Henry, how much have
you had to drink?

Not enough.

I feel so guilty.

I should've listened to you,
Siobhan.

I should've made more
of an effort

with Gemma.

You didn't know.

Know what?

That she would disappear?

I feel like a douche bag
to even say what I'm thinking.

That you didn't know
how much you loved her

until you couldn't tell her?

Henry, I've asked someone
to help.

Trust me, it's gonna be okay.

We're gonna find her.
We're gonna bring her back.

Can I leave here yet?

Yeah.

Come on, I'll get you a cab.

You should be
with the boys.

And we will remain here
throughout the evening

hoping to get some
kind of statement

from Mr. Butler
himself.

?

Malcolm?

It's okay.
We're gonna get you to a hospital.

My head is pounding.

You fainted.

Landed pretty hard against
the pavement.

It's probably gonna
hurt for a while.

Siobhan Martin,
one of many New York...

Let's go.

Excuse me.

I wanted to say
thank you.

The paramedics told me
you helped my wife.

Yeah.
No big deal.

I just want to say
I really appreciate it.

Okay.

Hey.

How you feeling?

I've been better.

How's Juliet?

She's at home.

Grounded.

Most likely till she's 50.

The doctor's gonna check
on the baby.

What?

Don't worry.

It's just a precaution.

They don't suspect
anything,

but they feel safer
if they check.

Andrew, I don't think it's...

What?

I just... it's been
such a long day.

Shiv,

this is crazy.

I know you're feeling out of it,
but to refuse

an ultrasound
after a concussion,

that's just insanity.

Well, I didn't mean it
like that...

Then don't fight it,

please?

Do as the doctor says.

This is our baby.

?

I found Gemma's car.

Was there anything left behind?

Just some blood.

Her blood?

No, mine, from when she hit me.

Thank God you found it.

Thank Bridget.

She's still the only suspect
in Gemma's disappearance.

They'll never connect it to me.

And everyone still thinks
Bridget is me?

Don't worry, Siobhan.

Gemma never got a chance
to tell anyone.

Gemma Butler?

Call me with the next move.
