Tell Me A Story...

[gunshots][screaming]

Something's
not quite right.

He didn't seem like someone

who wanted to kill me.I'll look into it.

This guy, he spent half of
his time filming Ashley.

Looks like he got
the actual bomber on camera.

Dylan Young, private security.
I just got a couple questions.

No.

I'm an ex-con.

Well, everyone deserves
a second chance.



Your father loved you.

SIMONE: You were
having an affair.

You changed the trust,
and then you pushed

my dad down
the stairs.

I am done with you
harassing this family!

I think this belongs to you.

Stop! Stop! I said enough!
I'll wait for you outside.

What do you want from me?

TUCKER: I'm a writer.
My new book is about love

and loss.

Tell me about Luke.
Do you miss him?

Who's Olivia?

She's my editor's new assistant.

I think he's having an affair.



But I would never cheat
on Maddie.Are you sure about that?

'Cause I might do
some digging myself.

[both grunting, shouting]

Help! Help me, please!

Go!

Olivia!

[car alarm blaring]

Shit.

Come on.

What the fuck are you doing?

[grunting, wheezes]

I bet you're
thinking,

"Why the hell
did I follow him home?"

I did it for Maddie.

No, you didn't.

You wanted to be

some kind of fucking hero,

so you can swoop on in,
save the day,

huh?That's not true.

Yes, it is.

Not true.

Where's the girl?

Was that Olivia?

She got away,
didn't she?

Shut the fuck up.

Oh, the cops could
be here any minute.

It's over. You're done.

It's not over. There's no one
around for 30 miles.

I grew up hunting
in these woods.

There's nowhere
for her to go.

She's weak, she's frightened,
and she's lost.

Don't worry, I'll find her.

And then what?

You, Maddie and your captive

live happily ever after?We're not talking about Maddie.

Where's your
cell phone, huh?

Did you leave it in the car? Mm.

That's just too bad, isn't it?

People are gonna miss me.

My wife, my boss,

even Maddie.

They're gonna be
looking for me.

You're right. They are.

[indistinct whispering]

What's going on?

There was an incident
last night.

Ken was shot.

[exhales]
Is he...?

He's alive.

Beau is at the hospital
with him now.

They tracked down the
man who put the bomb

in your car.You were right.

It wasn't Kyle.

It was a man named Dylan Young.
He shot Ken

before getting away.Police are looking for him now.

I have to go to the hospital.We can protect you
better here.

Someone should be there
for Beau.

We'll both go.
Bring the car around.

[doorbell rings]

[scoffs] Back for more?

I knew you were
stupid, but...

Where is she? Where's Simone?

Did something happen?

You lose her somewhere?

I don't have time for your shit.
Is she here?

[chuckles][scoffs]

Oh. If you think you're taking
one step in this house...

VERONICA:
Let him in.

We always make time for guests.

At least you didn't
break in this time.

Jackson, wasn't it?

What can I do for you?

Simone disappeared last night.
She's not answering her phone.

I've looked everywhere.

Did you try the police station?

Maybe someone wasn't as kind
as I've been about her

violating her parole.You did something to her.

I know it.

You're looking
in the wrong place.

I have no clue where she is.

Ron will see you out.

You know, she's not the only one
who knows what you've done,

and pretty soon
everybody's gonna know.

Is that a threat?

Do yourself a favor.

Just let her go.

[engine starts]

Hey!

Jackson, hold up.

[engine turns off]

Look, I care
about Simone, too.

Uh-huh.
I do.

Simone was the only one in that
house that stood up for me.

I was closer to her
than I was with my own brother.

You really care about Simone?

Then convince

your mom and your brother
to tell me where she is.

You really think
it was my family?

Simone had proof that your mom
fixed everything for herself.

She threw it in your mom's face,
and now she's gone.

This proof,
you're sure it's real?

Your mom was screwing

your stepdad's lawyer
behind his back.

What the hell
are you talking about?

Your stepdad
found out about it.

I saw the pictures myself.

Give me your phone.

If Ron took her,
you're gonna need this.

Access to all our
warehouse locations.

Good luck.

[banging continues]

[grunting]

TUCKER:
Olivia?!

Olivia?!

LUKE:
Olivia?

Olivia, it's okay.

Come on, Olivia,
open the door.

I don't think so.

I just want to talk.I want that, too,

but only when you've
calmed down.

I am calm! I'm calm.

[breathing heavily]I just want to know

who you were talking to
at the coffee shop.

You know Ezra.

He's in my writers group.

Are you fucking him?

He's just a friend, Luke.

If that's true, open up!

I can't keep
doing this with you!

All I... all I want is

an honest conversation.

I want that, too.

But only when you've
calmed down.

Right now, you need to go.

Where the fuck
am I supposed to go?!

[grunts]

Don't do this.

You don't get to
tell me what to do.

Hey.

Beau...

Hi.

Wh-What are you doing here?

I heard about your dad.
I'm so sorry.

How's he doing?

He went back
into surgery, ma'am.

Internal bleeding.
I haven't

heard anything in a while.Let me try.

They've been pretty
tight-lipped.

I can be quite persuasive.

You mean scary?

What can I do?

Do you want food,
coffee, anything?

No. I-I can't. Um...

You know, when I was a kid,

I worried, uh, every time
my dad went to work, you know.

But, um, he used to say

the bad guys didn't
stand a chance

because he was too strong.

He didn't look strong today.

It was the first time I've
ever seen my dad look scared.

He's got you.

I almost got him killed.

You didn't do this.

[camera clicks nearby]

[camera clicks]

You... you shouldn't be here.

I'm glad you came, but...

Dylan Young is
still out there.

You're not safe.

I-I don't want you
to be alone.

It is my job to protect you.

Okay? I can't do that here.

He's stable.

They brought him
into recovery.

[exhales sharply]

You should rest.

Thank you, ma'am, I will.

Bye.

BRENDAN:
Where have you been?

You didn't find her,
did you?

She's still out there.

It's not like she's
the most dangerous game.

You know you're sick, right?

You have no idea what
it's like to really suffer.

Unable to sleep,
to create.

Never truly living.

I had to do something.

I understand.

Oh, shut up.

Don't try to play me.

Olivia wasn't happy.

Her life was a disaster.

It was empty, meaningless.

I rescued her from that.

I gave her a purpose.

Look, so far,
you haven't really hurt anyone.

Look, I know the law.

Just let me go.

I can't do that.

Yes, you can.

Okay, this is, this is crazy.

This does not end well.
You know that.

I know.

And I wanted this time

to be different.

This time?

Oh, fuck, th-there are others?

Oh, fuckin' shit.

Fuck. Fuck!

Hey, please... don't do this.

You did this to yourself.I know. I know. I'm sorry.

You came into my home.

You invaded
my privacy.

I know. I-I know. I'm sorry.

I didn't want this,

but you just couldn't
let Maddie go, could you?

What about your
own wife, Brendan?

Does she know that you're
still not over Maddie?

I-I love my wife, okay?

Obviously, you don't;
otherwise, you wouldn't be here.

Please. Please, don't-don't...

I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry!

Don't!
[whimpers]

The other girls,
they didn't suffer.

They knew it was better
not to fight.

[moans weakly]

Dying like this,

it'll be just like
falling asleep.

In a way, I'm jealous.

Get the fuck out the car.

What the fuck do you think

Back up.

Make me.

I'm not playing.

Look, this little game
of "follow the leader" is over.

Tuck your tail
and run back home to Mommy.

Mom lied. So did you.

Everything Simone said
last night is true,

isn't it?

About Mom having an affair,
changing Dad's trust.

Dad left the distillery
to Simone, didn't he?

Don't ask questions

you don't really want
to know the answer to.

I want to know where Simone is.

You took her, admit it.

I don't got to
admit shit to you.

I don't owe you a thing.

Where is she?

[chuckling]

All right. I'll tell
you what I know.

But first, I'm gonna
need you to beg.

All right? Go on!No.

Do it.
Fuck you.

[grunting]

Everything I do,
I do for this family.

All right?
To protect us.

And what do you do, huh?

You just sit on the
sideline and complain

that coach won't put you in.

So come on, mama's boy, get up.

Do something
about it for once.

Didn't think so.

[engine starts]

[siren wails]

[camera clicking]

Damn it, Beau,
you cannot be here.

I can't just wait at the
hospital doing nothing, okay?

Tell me what
is going on.

Any signs of Young?

You are not a part
of this investigation.You wouldn't even know

that he was the bomber
if it wasn't for me.

Based on evidence
I gave you.

You don't think I'm gonna
catch shit for that?

Look, if they come
after you, they'll

have to admit that they fucked
up by closing the case, okay?

Come on, Gwen,

you have got to give me
something, please.

We're still looking for Young.
Unis searched the area.

We are trying to track down
his girlfriend, his mother,

former cellmate, anyone

who might be helping him.Any idea on a motive?

Not yet.

You need to stay
out of this, Beau.

I can help you.

You are too
emotionally involved.

No.Go, be with your dad.

I'll let you know
when we find Young.

[door opens in distance]

Hello?

[door opens]

Sorry, no more free shots.

Son of a bitch.

I'm not all bad.

I left you some clothes,
brought you some food.

Didn't bring you here
to starve you to death.

Then what am I doing here?

I knew you wouldn't leave
on your own,

so I figured you might need
a little escort back

to where you belong.

Ron, what did you do?

You'd be surprised what a couple
of calls can turn up.

The people you
worked for back in...

back in North Carolina

are still looking for you.

But my guess is you
already knew that.

You have no idea
what you've done.

Hey, I didn't do a thing.
They wanted to come get you.

I just told them
where to find you.

They're going to kill me, Ron.

Yeah, well, whatever happens,

the way I see it is,

you had it coming,
Simone.

We both know this isn't you.

You're a con artist.
You use people.

That's not me, not anymore.

Keep telling yourself that.

You can play dress up
all you want to,

it's not gonna change
who you are.

[door opens]

[door closes]

Hey, wait.What do you want?

Just want to talk to you.About what?

About Dylan Young.
How do you know him?

I don't.

You seem very interested in
what's happening at his house.

What are you, a cop?No, I'm not.

Then I don't
have to talk to you.

Hey. You're lying.

Let go of me.Who is Dylan to you?

Is he your boyfriend?What do you care?

Dylan just shot my father.

Okay?

I didn't know.

Did you know he also tried
to kill Ashley Rose?

What? No.

I have a video of him

planting the bomb on her car.

I-I'm sorry. I...

You have to tell me
where he is.

I don't know.Hey, hey.

Look at me. I know you think
you're doing the right thing

by protecting him, yeah?

But more people
will get hurt.

[sighs]

If Dylan finds out that
I told you where he is...

I will protect you, I promise.

But he needs to be stopped.

Okay.

Okay.

[phone vibrating]

Yeah, what?

Any luck finding her?

No, I've been to half a dozen

of your family's storage
facilities; nothing so far.

What if I could help you
narrow it down?

Derek, if you know where she is,
tell me now.

I don't, not exactly.

But when Ron left,
he left out the back gate.

Think I know
where he was headed.

Okay, keep talking.

Wow. Your voice sounds amazing.

[chuckles] Thanks.

I knew it would come back.I didn't.

First couple times I tried,
it sounded like shit.

How does it feel?
Does it hurt?

No. It actually feels
really good.

That's great.

Well, Mom must be over the moon.

Surprised you're not
already back on tour.

I haven't told her.

Oh.
Not yet.

I really want
to take this slowly.

You're the only one that knows.

I'd like to keep it
that way.

Of course. I won't say anything.

Thanks.

I heard about Ken.
How's Beau holding up?

[sighs]

He's tired, worried.

Really glad you went to see him.

We're friends.

Nothing more?

Mom told you?Why didn't you?

We kissed a couple times,
no big deal.

Okay, so there's potential.

And he's very sweet and hot.

[chuckles]
It's a nice distraction,

that's all.

Well, he'd be really lucky
to be with you.

Really?

Yeah.

Anybody would be.

Be lucky to deal with this?

Ashley,

you are still

so, so beautiful.

That's not what people see
when they look at me.

They see a monster.

Someone to be feared, pitied.

Who cares what
people think?

I do.

And so will any man
that's with me.

They have to deal
with that, too.

Not to mention
all the surgeries,

skin grafts, therapy...

[chuckles] Who would want
to take that on?

I wouldn't.

So you're never gonna give
anybody a chance?

I have to be
realistic.

Not everybody gets their
"happily ever after."

You'll forgive me
if I don't feel like joking.

What are you
doing here, Simone?

You didn't think you can
come back home and just

start over again, did you?Would that be so crazy?

Crazy is thinking
you could just take off

when you still owe people
$300,000.

I went to prison, Wade,
for three years.

The state has
their money.

Well, they don't see it
that way.

Give me time.
I can still get it,

all of it.Look, I'm sorry, Simone.

We're due back in Charlotte

go without a fight?

Wait, who are you calling?The cops. You can't be here.

Meet me back

DISPATCHER [over phone]:
911. What's your emergency?

[wine pouring]

You gonna leave
without saying goodbye?

Private reserve.

No point in saving it.

Mm.

So, did you... ask Tucker
why he lied to you?

About his sister?

Yeah, we talked about it.
It's fine.

It's fine?
To keep a secret

like that?Mom.

From your fiancée?

His twin sister died.

How could he not
tell you that?

All that I am saying is
that it is impossible

to have a healthy
relationship

if you are keeping
secrets from each other.

[laughs softly]

You mean like you and Dad?

How does your father have
anything to do with this?

Come on, I know
he cheated on you.

All that fighting--
it was impossible not to hear.

How did you find out?

Mm. I went to
see him perform.

He didn't know
that I was there.

I saw him with one of
his backup singers.

I could tell by the
way that he, uh...

he looked at her.

Yeah.
[chuckles wryly]

I think Tucker's cheating on me.

Are you sure?

No.

I don't even know

if I want to know.Oh, yeah, you do.

When I suspected
your father,

I confronted him.

He confessed.

Apologized.

And you forgave him?

I tried to.

I didn't want it to...

destroy our family.

And deep down,

I loved him still.

Yeah.
