The Lying Game (2011–2013): Season 1, Episode 15 - Dead Man Talking - full transcript
A few months ago,I discovered
I had a twin sister.
And then she she asked me to
take her place,keep the secret,
find our real mother
and try to stay alive.
Put yourself in my shoes.
How long could you
keep up the lying game?
Previously on The Lying game:
- Hey,Derek!
- What do you want from me?
Someone thinks I am dead.
We can't risk being seen together,
and until this cut on my head heals,
you need to keep being me.
What the hell's going
on with you and Rebecca?
You're dating now? If can keep
her close,I can keep her happy.
I'm just hoping the glass slipper fits.
That surgery is one of my deepest regrets,
and I haven't made a mistake like that since.
I'm gonna lose Laurel,aren't I?
- You're not our mother.
- You're in danger.
The man who climbed out
of the lake that night...
I grabbed his arm,but he wouldn't help.
- What did he look like?
- Snake.
Trust me,Kristin,it was not your fault.
How do I know there's not something
else you're not telling me?
Oh,Annie... what have you done now?
Hey,Sutton,so I've been
and it occurred to me...
Have you seen my taupe blouse?
The one with the gold polka dots?
We just found out
asking me about a blouse?
and you're Aren't you
the least bit upset?
I am the one who spent the last
few months chasing a dead end.
"Upset" does not even
begin to describe it.
Does anyone knock around here?
Fresh towels.
Well,I'm kind of in the
middle of something here.
Is that Ethan? It's a shame
he had to leave the ball early.
Is he still running a
fever? What is that saying?
Starve a cold,feed a
fever. Feed a fever...
Mother.
Right. Feel better,Ethan.
- "Feel better,Ethan"?
- What was I supposed to say?
That he left so he could
jump into bed with you?
Sutton,we haven't...
Yeah,I keep forgetting. Bye,sis.
- Hey,that's my top.
- You said I could borrow it.
- Well,I changed my mind.
- I need to look good today.
I'm single again now that Justin's
officially out of the picture.
Oh,please,you're much better
off without that creep.
Hey,Sutton.
No,she's right. I deserve
better. I'm moving on.
You are?
I thought of all people,you'd
be happy to hear that.
I think it's a very mature decision.
Absolutely. Gold star for Laurel.
- Sutton.
- Oh,come on. It's a joke.
- Is it me,or is Sutton just...
- Midterms this week.
Only going to get worse.
You're sure Kristin didn't see you?
Sutton made her think
she was talking to you.
All right. That can't happen again.
I agree. You've got to be more careful.
Me? You should have heard
Sutton talking to Kristin.
If anyone's going to
blow our cover,it's her.
Nice to know you have
so much faith in me.
Well,looks like the gang's all here.
We're going to need their help
finding our real birth mother.
I'm not ready to throw
myself back into that.
I don't... want to get
my heart broken again.
Annie said that we were still in danger.
So,whatever she knows has something
to do with what happened to you.
Emma's right,okay?
You guys weren't in any kind of danger until
you started searching for your birth mom.
Annie Hobbs,your mom,that note,what happened in your car
- this is all connected.
The
Lying Game S01E15
Well,they weren't actual braces.
That was more of a corrective retainer.
Okay. I gotta go.
I'll see you soon. Bye.
- Good morning,Dad.
- Morning,honey.
Isn't it a little early to be
talking to this Bryan character?
It's Ryan.
You've got your
midterms this week,honey.
Your grades this semester are gonna...
Can make or break my chances of
getting into a good college. I get it.
See? Brain food.
- Orange juice.
- Thank you.
****
Oh,isn't it a little early to be
talking to this Rebecca character?
Go to school.
- Have a good day.
- thank you
Hi there.
So... remind me,are the
Finnegans still married?
Because Betsy's on the membership
committee at Chelsea Creek.
And I don't want to step on any
land mines during my interview today.
You know what? Ask her
about her rose bushes.
The woman is obsessed with gardening.
So tell me do you think they're prejudiced
against single women joing the club?
Because they're really
making me jump through hoops.
I'll call my friend Doug
Mancino. He's the club president.
- You'd do that for me?
- Of course.
What are old friends for?
Oh,is that what we are? Friends?
When did it become so important
for you to join a club?
I always thought you were
more of a free spirit.
Well,let's just say that
membership has its privileges.
Such as what?
Spending more time with you.
- You don't mince words,do you?
- No,I don't.
Okay. You're in the driver's seat.
- What happens now?
- I ask you to dinner.
How's Wednesday?
Annie Hobbs said that she saw a dark-haired
man swim out from the lake,right?
Half the guys in
Scottsdale have dark hair.
She said something last night at
the hospital about a snake,rember?
Maybe we should be looking
for someone named Snake.
- A nickname.
- No.
Maybe it's someone from Arroyo.
Whoever sent that note to Emma
knows your "lying game" M.O.
Yeah,but I don't have any...
- Sutton doesn't have...
- Enemies? Yeah.
But I don't think anybody at
school would want to killme.
Has anyone at school been acting
weird these past few weeks?
Derek's been avoiding me,but I just assumed
it was because of the whole Char breakup.
Okay,Derek is a stoner and a moron.
I can't imagine that he would
figure out that there's two of us.
Yes,but he has been trading
all those phone calls with Alec.
And Alec knows about Annie Hobbs.
That can't just be a coincidence.
Guys,my dad is not involved
in any of this,okay?
I got to get to school.
- I'll check out Derek.
- I'm coming with.
Are you gonna be okay here?
Good news.
I managed to spring two tickets to
the Slow Train gig on Wednesday night.
Wednesday,as in tomorrow?
Last minute,I know,but
they're playing Hangar 19.
It's gonna be epic.
Oh,my chem midterm is Thursday.
And you and I have chemistry.
It's,it's perfect... synergy.
Seriously,my dad's been
on my case about midterms.
There's no way he'll let me go.
Hey,Mads. Hey,Ryan.
We,uh,we'll talk later.
Sutton.
Can you believe that
it's midterms already?
We're studying together,right?
Actually,I gonna need you to
cover for me tomorrow night.
If my dad asks,I'm studying
at the library with you.
And what are you actually
going to be doing?
Don't tell me you're
going out with Ryan again.
You really have it in
for that guy,don't you?
Did something else happen
between you guys in ninth grade?
I just think that you
can do much better.
But if you're so into
him,then,yes,I will be your alibi.
Thank you.
- See you.
- See you.
Justin?
I thought we were moving on.
Yeah,might've stretched the truth a bit.
Mm-hmm,just enough so
you could keep seeing him.
School's the only place
we can be together;
I've tried sneaking out at night to see
him, but Mom's been watching me like a hawk.
Have you learned nothing from me?
Lie.
I thought lies were a thing of the past.
- Well,the past is the new future.
- That makes no sense.
No,what makes no sense is
that you are still with Justin.
You really trust him
after all that he did?
He loves me... and I believe him.
Keep telling yourself that,and maybe
one day you actually will believe it.
Oh,come on.
Try the ml? e attack when you're
stuck in the corner like that.
There you go.
How'd you know that?
Uh,one of the foster families
I stayed with had an Xbox,
and I've been stuck in this cabin
for three days with nothing to do.
Want to go
head-to-head?
How many foster families have you had?
Twelve. Well,13,counting the Mercers.
What was that like,bouncing
from place to place?
you just learn not to get too
attached to things... or people.
Although sometimes it's hard not to.
It's so crazy that I finally
land with this amazing family,
you know,find my real sister...
and now all this:
Sutton's back,the hiding...
someone out there trying to kill us.
I shouldn't have accused you of having
something to do with Sutton's disappearance.
That's okay. You
weren't thinking clearly.
- None of us were.
- Yeah,but still,it wasn't right.
If Mads went missing and someone blamed
me, I'd come at them with both guns blazing.
Like... this?
And that,my friend,is
how we do it in Sin City.
oh,man.
It's so bizarre because of Emma, all my
teachers think I'm going to ace my midterms.
You'll do fine.
It's like I'm living in this parallel
universe,where I'm a total egghead.
There's Derek.
Oh,my God.
The snake.
It was him.
Dude,I'm just trying
to ask you a question ¨C
- I want to know where you were the night of Sutton's party.
- What the hell difference does it make?
I was home,okay?
What's your problem,man?
Rogers. Get to class.
You,too,Whitehorse.
- He's not copping to anything.
- It was him.
His tattoo
- that's the snake that Annie Hobbs was talking about,it has to be.
After fourth period,we'll
talk to him together,all right?
That's the worst idea ever.
Why can't you just tell them
that we're back together?
Speaking of "worst idea ever.
" I just don't like
sneaking around and hiding.
If your parents caught us,th...
They'd be furious.
And I can't say I blame them. I mean...
we all know what you came here to do.
That's your parents.
But we're okay,right?
I just... want to be with you,Laurel.
I want that,too.
But... you're the last person my
mom or dad wants me dating right now,
and that's something we're
gonna have to deal with,so...
we continue to sneak around... and lie.
Fine.
If that's what it's gonna take...
I'm in.
I don't see him.
Mrs. Ihrig. Have you seen Derek Rogers?
He went home early.
Food poisoning,I think.
Yes,I understand the need
for patient confidentiality.
It's-it's just that I would
sleep so much better knowing that
Annie made it back to the clinic safely.
I was her nurse at the
hospital here in Scottsdale.
And such a sweet lady
- it would just mean so much if you could just check for me?
I would so appreciate
that. Yes,I'll hold.
Rebecca,hi.
- Oh,you're on the phone.
- Oh,that's all right.
No,it's okay.
I just had my membership interview,so...
Gosh,you'd think I was applying
to Harvard or something.
Is everything okay? You
seem a little distracted.
Sorry,I've got teenage trouble.
Sutton?
Rebellious and stubborn one day,and
the next day, rebellious and stubborn.
Hello,ladies.
Hi,Rebecca. How are you?
- Good. How are you?
- I'm good.
- How was the interview?
- It went well.
Perennials and-and
annuals and tulip bulbs.
Very well,thanks to you.
It seems flattery is
getting you everywhere,huh?
- See you later?
- Bye.
So... you and Alec.
I'm just so surprised.
I mean,after the way he
treated you in high school.
Well,I'm... not the same
girl that I was back then.
And between you and me,it's kind of
a thrill to be back and turning heads.
Have a nice lunch.
Sutton... we can handle this.
Why don't you go wait in the car.
No. He tried to kill me,remember?
Is Derek here?
If you're looking to buy
drugs,you've come to the wrong place.
No,I-I'm...
He,uh,missed some classes,and
I brought his homework.
Homework? You're kidding.
You're friends of Derek's?
Uh,he... used to date my friend,Char,
and broke up with her
out of the blue,and,uh...
didn't show up for my birthday
party two Saturdays ago,so...
He said he was with you,but now
I don't know what to believe.
We're just really worried about him.
A week ago Saturday,that was the
night his car broke down at the lake.
- The lake?
- Howley Lake. He got a ride home with that cop.
When the police car pulled up,I
just assumed he'd been busted again.
Do you rember which one?
Oh,believe me,I've met 'em all; he was the nice one
- Dan... something.
- Whitehorse?
- Yeah,that's it.
Dan Whitehorse.
And she was sure it was Dan
who took him home that night?
Apparently,Derek's mom is on a first-name
basis with half of Scottsdale's finest.
Guy's spent more time
in juvie than you have.
I'm gonna head home. I'll talk to Dan.
I'll come with you.
He's not gonna say anything
to me if you're there.
Well,I need to do something.
- Don't you have midterms this week?
- Yes.
And thank you so much for setting
up those monster expectations.
I can't even think about school when Derek's out there
- he tried to kill me.
I need to find out why.
Okay... you go find
Derek. I'll take the tests.
Emma...
No,Sutton's right; she needs
to be the one to confront him,
and I'm already up on all
the classes,so it makes sense.
You would do that for me?
Wait a minute,this isn't your way of
just,like,getting back into the house?
If you fail midterms,our
cover is potentially blown.
This will just buy us more time.
Well,then in that case...
... you'll need this.
We could take her car away,right?
The cell phone. Ground her.
How many times have we
said that? It isn't working.
I think we should start treating her like an adult, tell
her how it's making us feel, what it's actually doing to us.
Yeah,that sounds a
little touch-feely to me.
Like anything you
suggest has been working?
This isn't about Sutton,is it?
Hey,guys. Smells amazing!
Yeah,not so fast,young lady. Your
mother and I want to talk to you.
- Uh,okay.
- It's about the way you've been behaving lately.
We know you've been under a
lot of pressure with midterms,
but when you are short
with your father or me,
it makes us feel like
you disrespect us,and...
personally... it hurts my feelings.
I'm sorry... that I
made you feel that way.
I have so much respect
for both you and Dad.
You have no idea.
Yeah,well,you have a
funny way of showing it.
Look,I know I can
be...difficult sometimes,
but I care about you guys so much.
I am so lucky to have you as my parents.
I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.
- It's all right. ...
Thank you.
If it isn't little
Miss Multi-Hyphenate.
Singer-slash-
violinist,right?
Something like that.
You should get up there. It's open mike.
I prefer to lurk.
I liked your song,by the way.
Oh,thanks. Something's
off with the bridge.
Maybe that last chord should be an A-suspended
seventh and not an A-suspended fourth.
Would you mind if I join you?
Hey,guys.
Nice job up there.
I'm,uh,Justin,Laurel's boyfriend.
Baz. Your girlfriend and
I were just talking music.
She's got a hell of an ear.
It's getting late.
I should get you home before your
parents start wondering where you are.
Nice to meet you.
- See ya.
- See ya.
Thank you again for
letting me copy your notes.
These last few days have been a blur.
It's good to see you two taking
your midterms seriously this year.
Sutton has all A's this semester.
Is that right? That's impressive.
You need anything,let me know,okay?
Hey,are we still on to study
tomorrow night at the library?
You're not backing out,are you?
No.
Wh... What time did we say again?
Seven.
Seven. Yes,I will be there.
Dan.
What were you doing giving Derek Rogers
a ride home the night of Sutton's party?
Kid's car broke down.
Found him on the side of the
road looking like a drowned rat.
By the lake?
He was hitching a ride in the
rain. What's with the interrogation?
The Mercer car went
into the lake that night.
Did it not occur to you that
there might be a connection there?
Of course it did.
But then you and Sutton came up
with this-this joyriding story.
So why reopen a case
that's already been closed?
Unless-unless you've got some new information
that would make us want to reopen the case?
No. I guess not.
I come bearing kung pao chicken.
Brown rice,no onions.
Are you online friends with Derek?
Emma must have friended
him when he was dating Char.
He hasn't updated his
status since yesterday.
I can't believe that I'm stuck in
here,and she's back living my life.
Let me see this.
{a6}****
Hey,what is the deal with guys and cars?
I don't know,but apparently Derek
spends a lot of time at this body shop.
I think we should go there
now,see if we can find him.
Well,Ethan's gonna stop by after school.
So,he can take me.
Sutton,come on,you really think he's going
to fall for this damsel in distress act?
Act? I'm sorry,last time I
checked,somebody tried to kill me.
So you put the moves on Ethan while
Emma's studying for your midterms.
Hey,she offered.
Probably to get the
hell out of this place.
She's doing it for you.
No,she's doing it so she can prove,yet again,
that she's better at being me than I am.
All she ever wanted was a real family.
Yeah,unfortunately,it's mine.
Bye.
You know what?
When we get to the other side of this, I
think you should get to know Emma better.
Let me guess. Because I
could learn so much from her?
Yeah,well,now that you
mention it,actually,you could.
Hey,Alec,you got a minute?
I got lots of minutes; what's up,Dan?
That kid,Derek Rogers,I think he may have had
something to do with the Mercer car going missing.
Oh,yeah?
Last I checked,that case was closed.
I think we should reopen it.
Really? Didn't your brother and
Sutton drive that car into the lake?
Uh,from the very beginning,I
thought they were lying about that.
What makes you think Derek
Rogers has anything to do with it?
That night,by the lake,I
gave him a ride home.
He said his car broke down, but I think
we should bring him in for questioning.
Sure,do what you want,but I
can't bring that case to trial.
Not when there's a confession on record.
I still think we should bring him in.
I wouldn't get hung up on it,Dan.
You'd be wasting your time.
{a6}********
Good thing your dad changed his mind
about letting you come out tonight.
Actually,he has no idea that I'm here.
Thinks I'm studying with Sutton.
Ah,subterfuge.
Your good friend Sutton's idea,no doubt.
Oh,it's no big deal. We cover
for each other all the time.
And you're sure you can
trust her not to say anything?
She's my best friend.
She'd never rat me out.
Come on.
- Hello?
- Alec,hi,it's Sutton.
- Is Mads there?
- Isn't she with you?
No,she hasn't shown up yet,and
she's not picking up her cell.
Well,she left here awhile ago.
Hm,well,maybe she just
stopped to grab some food.
I'll hang out here another half hour.
Okay,well,do me a favor.
Whether she shows up or
not,you call me either way,okay?
Of course. Bye.
- Hello?
- Rebecca,it's Alec.
Uh,I'm sorry to have to
cancel. Something's come up.
Shop's closed. Come back tomorrow.
What are you doing here?
Well,I want to know what you were
doing in the backseat of my car.
Got no idea what you're talking about.
The night I went into the
lake. You tried to kill me.
I was at home that night.
Now,if you don't mind?
We know Dan picked you up by the lake.
What if he did? I went for a walk.
Stop lying to me.
All right,but it didn't go down
like it was supposed to,okay?
I didn't want to hurt you. I was just
supposed to take you to a parking lot,
but you freaked out,then
the car went over.
Then when I saw you in
school,that you were okay...
You swam out of the lake,and
you just left her there?
I panicked.
You were working for someone;
who told you to get in that car?
They tell you to send the note,too?
Note? What note?
Who sent you?!
- I can't.
- Derek,tell us!
Oh,my God. Someone's coming.
Come on,let's go,get
out of here right now..
Don't say a word,all right?
I've got this.
License and registration.
- Ethan?
- Harry.
What seems to be the problem?
You've got a taillight out.
What happened there?
I was putting new brake pads on my
bike and scraped my hand on the chain.
Here.
Ah,don't worry about it.
Just get the taillight fixed,and you
might want to have that hand looked at.
- Will do.
- Night.
Alec.
Rebecca? What a surprise.
Didn't you say you had
to stay close to home?
Yeah. I was just getting
something out of my car.
- What's all that?
- Well,I picked up dinner.
I thought I'd keep you company
while you wait for Mads.
How nice.
- Come in.
- Okay.
- You look like you could use a drink.
- Do I?
So,has Mads done this before? No.
That's the strange thing. She's
been such a good kid,you know?
All of a sudden,she's
just acting different.
Different how?
I don't know. You know,she
used to talk to me.
We used to share
things; now she's lying.
Oh,come on,I used to lie to my
parents all the time as a teenager.
- Didn't you?
- Never.
Okay,a lot.
Oh,well,Mads is a really good kid.
And I'm sure she's just
at the mall or the movies.
Or lying in a ditch somewhere.
You can't let yourself go there.
I know. I'm sorry,it's just,uh...
It's tough not to,in my
line of work,you know,so...
What?
I guess I just realized how
difficult this must be for you,
to raise two kids on your own.
For what it's worth,I think
you're a terrific father.
Thank you.
You know,I always wondered
about that decision I made.
What it would've been like
to have kids of my own.
I know I said this
before,but I'll say it again.
I never blamed you for that.
♪ Set the lights just how you want to ♪
♪ Write the lines but
know they'll find you ♪
- Yeah,I like it.
- Yeah?
Um,what if it's more
like? Two,three,four.
♪ Set the lights just how you want to ♪
♪ Write the lines but
know they'll find you ♪
Yeah. That's awesome; that's
way better. That's way better.
All right,so remind me to tell Rebecca
thank you for giving me your number.
Cool. You want to try it?
♪ Set the lights Just how you want to ♪
♪ Write the lines but
know they'll find you ♪
You guys sound amazing.
Baz,this is my sister,Sutton.
Nice to meet you.
I'm gonna grab my laptop.
Do you want to lay this down?
- Yeah.
- Cool.
He was the one you played
at the benefit with,right?
Yes,and he just asked
me to be in his band.
- Amazing,right?
- Yes.
Now I have a perfect excuse.
We rehearse twice a week,and then I'll tell
Mom and Dad that it's four, and go see Justin.
Are you sure that's a good idea?
You're the one who said I should lie.
Right. Of course I did.
Since when do you have
a problem with lying?
I don't. It's just...
With a lie like this,you'll be deceiving
people you care about every day.
And I just,I don't want that for you.
Big sis,worried about me.
You're a total pain in the
ass sometimes,but I love you.
Hey,what's the score?
28-zip. Mental mistakes and turnovers.
How's the studying going?
Okay. Well,except for chemistry.
lons and neutrons
- who can keep 'em straight?
A few nerdy guys in
the lab. No one else.
That cut should be just about
healed. Here,let's have a look.
- Ah,no,it's fine. You're watching the game.
- No. It's a blowout.
Come on. Come on,it'll
only take a minute.
I said,it's fine.
- And she's back.
- What was that about?
Well,I went to check angel Sutton's
cut,and devil Sutton threw a fit.
Ted...
Honey,whatever happened between
you and her yesterday was a fluke.
That's our real daughter.
Do you want to tell
me where you've been?
I was at the library with Sutton.
That's interesting,because Sutton called
here three hours ago,looking for you.
Want to try again,tell
me the truth? Maddie?
One of my favorite bands was in town
for the night,and Ryan got tickets.
- Slow Train.
- At Hangar 19?
Oh,lucky. Those tickets have
been sold out for,like,a month...
So,I'm gonna shut up now.
Why don't you go up to your
room; we'll talk about it later?
Yeah,you know,it's getting
late. We should probably...
- I'm so sorry.
- That's all right.
I shouldn't have said anything. It's...
It's just that Mads is a sweet kid.
She's your daughter,and I
just want her to like me.
- It's crazy,isn't it?
- Not at all.
Well,at least let me help you clean up.
So,Derek didn't try to kill Sutton?
He said he was just supposed
to take her to meet someone.
- Who?
- I never got it out of him.
A few more minutes,he would've
talked, but this car pulled up outside,
and me and Sutton made a run for it.
Sorry.
Are you sure you don't want
to get that checked out?
It'll be fine. It's not broken,so...
Sutton wants to go back there
tomorrow,though,see if he shows up.
Well,she can't go by
herself. It's too dangerous.
You should go with her.
You know,every second I'm with
her,I'm thinking about you.
I heard the call. What have you got?
It looks like a drug deal
gone bad,from what we can tell.
Dealer was beaten to death last night.
Tire iron,or some other blunt object.
We couldn't find it,but
we're still looking.
Yeah,I know him. I was just
talking to my brother about him.
Ethan have anything
against this Derek kid?
Not that I know of. Why?
I pulled him over last night
about a quarter mile from here.
His hand was pretty busted
up,like he'd been in a fight.
You don't know that.
Look,it's not in the
record,I didn't write him up,
but as soon as I mention this, they're
gonna want to bring him in for questioning.
The Mercer girl,too.
Sutton?
- She was in the car with him.
- Damn it.
Give me an hour. Just give me one hour.
All right.
Hey,how come you didn't
show up at the library?
You are unbelievable.
Don't go giving me that innocent look.
You've been planning this all along.
I honestly have no idea
what you're talking about.
If you didn't want me going out with
Ryan, you should have just said so.
Now I'm grounded for a week.
So thanks a lot.
Did you get in a fight with
Derek Rogers last night?
Yeah. Why,is that against the law?
When the other guy dies,it
is. It's called murder.
They found his body outside
of a body shop,beaten to death.
I hit the guy once. He
came at me with a tire iron.
So you're telling me you were there?
He... He was working on
a car inside the shop.
Dan,I clocked him pretty hard,but he
was getting up by the time I was leaving.
Where have you been since then?
I was with Sutton at the
Mercers',and then I'm here.
Anyone else besides your
girlfriend see you there?
- No.
- So she's your only alibi?
Yes.
Damn it,Ethan. Damn
you for this! Come on!
Dan,I swear to you,I did
not kill this guy,okay?
You need to get out of town right now.
If I run,they're going to
think I did it for sure.
You don't have a choice!
With your record,they will fry
your ass for this,you understand me?
All right,hmm?
Take this. It's not
much. It's all I got.
And I promise you,I will find
whoever really killed this kid,okay?
But until then,you need to lay low.
No phone calls,no texts,no
video messages,whatever.
Not even to Sutton.
- All right?
- All right. All right.
If you don't find out who did this,
there's no coming back here,is there?
No.
Go on,get out of here. Go on!
If you're calling about Derek
Rogers,I've already heard.
I'm headed over to the station now.
Dan,I understand your brother
may be mixed up in this.
You have any idea where he is?
No. I haven't seen him since last night.
Call me when you know more.
Everything okay?
Derek Rogers was found
dead this morning.
What?!
They think Ethan Whitehorse
may be mixed up in it.
No. No,there's no way.
It's important you keep your distance
from him right now,do you understand?
That boy's in serious trouble.
I was there. I can tell
the cops what happened.
Derek was alive when we left.
They'll think you're
lying to protect me.
Ethan,you can't just run away.
If I stay here,I'm
going down for this,okay?
Now,get your stuff together.
We got to get to Emma.
You talked to her?
Midterms. Her phone's off.
So that's the plan?
We switch places again,and
you guys run away together?
You both can't be here right
now. It's way too dangerous.
- We'll be fine.
- Don't you get it?
Someone killed Derek because we
were getting too close to the truth.
So,what am I supposed
to do,just be here alone?
Look,the cops are gonna be watching
you 24/7,waiting for me to show up.
You'll be safer here.
What the hell happened last night?
My dad is saying that
you killed Derek Rogers.
No time for this right now. I'll
tell you on the way. Let's go.
All right,I'll head in and find Emma.
- What if they see the two of you?
- I'm going in.
You and Emma can swap clothes behind
that Dumpster when we get back.
Well,guess I'm failing
my midterms after all.
Come on.
Ethan,where have you been?
You missed the last exam.
- You need to come with me.
- No,I have a test.
Derek's dead.
Okay,the cops found his body
this morning. They think I did it.
- Oh,my God.
- Come on,let's go.
Are you all right?
Uh,yeah,I just... I broke my heel.
I need to talk to you.
Let me help you with that.
There you go.
- Have you seen Ethan
Whitehorse today? - Uh-uh,no.
I actually have to go
take an exam,though,so...
Actually,I think you
need to come with me.
- Where's Emma?
- The cops got to her. We can't make the switch.
Get out... both of you.
I... I'm coming with you.
No,you're not. Get out!
No,I'm coming with you!
It's too dangerous for both of
us to be here at the same time.
You said it yourself.
Just go!
I'd like to see this one.
Excellent choice.
Stunning.
Has he popped the question?
Not yet,but it's only a matter of time.
The
Lying Game S01E15
I had a twin sister.
And then she she asked me to
take her place,keep the secret,
find our real mother
and try to stay alive.
Put yourself in my shoes.
How long could you
keep up the lying game?
Previously on The Lying game:
- Hey,Derek!
- What do you want from me?
Someone thinks I am dead.
We can't risk being seen together,
and until this cut on my head heals,
you need to keep being me.
What the hell's going
on with you and Rebecca?
You're dating now? If can keep
her close,I can keep her happy.
I'm just hoping the glass slipper fits.
That surgery is one of my deepest regrets,
and I haven't made a mistake like that since.
I'm gonna lose Laurel,aren't I?
- You're not our mother.
- You're in danger.
The man who climbed out
of the lake that night...
I grabbed his arm,but he wouldn't help.
- What did he look like?
- Snake.
Trust me,Kristin,it was not your fault.
How do I know there's not something
else you're not telling me?
Oh,Annie... what have you done now?
Hey,Sutton,so I've been
and it occurred to me...
Have you seen my taupe blouse?
The one with the gold polka dots?
We just found out
asking me about a blouse?
and you're Aren't you
the least bit upset?
I am the one who spent the last
few months chasing a dead end.
"Upset" does not even
begin to describe it.
Does anyone knock around here?
Fresh towels.
Well,I'm kind of in the
middle of something here.
Is that Ethan? It's a shame
he had to leave the ball early.
Is he still running a
fever? What is that saying?
Starve a cold,feed a
fever. Feed a fever...
Mother.
Right. Feel better,Ethan.
- "Feel better,Ethan"?
- What was I supposed to say?
That he left so he could
jump into bed with you?
Sutton,we haven't...
Yeah,I keep forgetting. Bye,sis.
- Hey,that's my top.
- You said I could borrow it.
- Well,I changed my mind.
- I need to look good today.
I'm single again now that Justin's
officially out of the picture.
Oh,please,you're much better
off without that creep.
Hey,Sutton.
No,she's right. I deserve
better. I'm moving on.
You are?
I thought of all people,you'd
be happy to hear that.
I think it's a very mature decision.
Absolutely. Gold star for Laurel.
- Sutton.
- Oh,come on. It's a joke.
- Is it me,or is Sutton just...
- Midterms this week.
Only going to get worse.
You're sure Kristin didn't see you?
Sutton made her think
she was talking to you.
All right. That can't happen again.
I agree. You've got to be more careful.
Me? You should have heard
Sutton talking to Kristin.
If anyone's going to
blow our cover,it's her.
Nice to know you have
so much faith in me.
Well,looks like the gang's all here.
We're going to need their help
finding our real birth mother.
I'm not ready to throw
myself back into that.
I don't... want to get
my heart broken again.
Annie said that we were still in danger.
So,whatever she knows has something
to do with what happened to you.
Emma's right,okay?
You guys weren't in any kind of danger until
you started searching for your birth mom.
Annie Hobbs,your mom,that note,what happened in your car
- this is all connected.
The
Lying Game S01E15
Well,they weren't actual braces.
That was more of a corrective retainer.
Okay. I gotta go.
I'll see you soon. Bye.
- Good morning,Dad.
- Morning,honey.
Isn't it a little early to be
talking to this Bryan character?
It's Ryan.
You've got your
midterms this week,honey.
Your grades this semester are gonna...
Can make or break my chances of
getting into a good college. I get it.
See? Brain food.
- Orange juice.
- Thank you.
****
Oh,isn't it a little early to be
talking to this Rebecca character?
Go to school.
- Have a good day.
- thank you
Hi there.
So... remind me,are the
Finnegans still married?
Because Betsy's on the membership
committee at Chelsea Creek.
And I don't want to step on any
land mines during my interview today.
You know what? Ask her
about her rose bushes.
The woman is obsessed with gardening.
So tell me do you think they're prejudiced
against single women joing the club?
Because they're really
making me jump through hoops.
I'll call my friend Doug
Mancino. He's the club president.
- You'd do that for me?
- Of course.
What are old friends for?
Oh,is that what we are? Friends?
When did it become so important
for you to join a club?
I always thought you were
more of a free spirit.
Well,let's just say that
membership has its privileges.
Such as what?
Spending more time with you.
- You don't mince words,do you?
- No,I don't.
Okay. You're in the driver's seat.
- What happens now?
- I ask you to dinner.
How's Wednesday?
Annie Hobbs said that she saw a dark-haired
man swim out from the lake,right?
Half the guys in
Scottsdale have dark hair.
She said something last night at
the hospital about a snake,rember?
Maybe we should be looking
for someone named Snake.
- A nickname.
- No.
Maybe it's someone from Arroyo.
Whoever sent that note to Emma
knows your "lying game" M.O.
Yeah,but I don't have any...
- Sutton doesn't have...
- Enemies? Yeah.
But I don't think anybody at
school would want to killme.
Has anyone at school been acting
weird these past few weeks?
Derek's been avoiding me,but I just assumed
it was because of the whole Char breakup.
Okay,Derek is a stoner and a moron.
I can't imagine that he would
figure out that there's two of us.
Yes,but he has been trading
all those phone calls with Alec.
And Alec knows about Annie Hobbs.
That can't just be a coincidence.
Guys,my dad is not involved
in any of this,okay?
I got to get to school.
- I'll check out Derek.
- I'm coming with.
Are you gonna be okay here?
Good news.
I managed to spring two tickets to
the Slow Train gig on Wednesday night.
Wednesday,as in tomorrow?
Last minute,I know,but
they're playing Hangar 19.
It's gonna be epic.
Oh,my chem midterm is Thursday.
And you and I have chemistry.
It's,it's perfect... synergy.
Seriously,my dad's been
on my case about midterms.
There's no way he'll let me go.
Hey,Mads. Hey,Ryan.
We,uh,we'll talk later.
Sutton.
Can you believe that
it's midterms already?
We're studying together,right?
Actually,I gonna need you to
cover for me tomorrow night.
If my dad asks,I'm studying
at the library with you.
And what are you actually
going to be doing?
Don't tell me you're
going out with Ryan again.
You really have it in
for that guy,don't you?
Did something else happen
between you guys in ninth grade?
I just think that you
can do much better.
But if you're so into
him,then,yes,I will be your alibi.
Thank you.
- See you.
- See you.
Justin?
I thought we were moving on.
Yeah,might've stretched the truth a bit.
Mm-hmm,just enough so
you could keep seeing him.
School's the only place
we can be together;
I've tried sneaking out at night to see
him, but Mom's been watching me like a hawk.
Have you learned nothing from me?
Lie.
I thought lies were a thing of the past.
- Well,the past is the new future.
- That makes no sense.
No,what makes no sense is
that you are still with Justin.
You really trust him
after all that he did?
He loves me... and I believe him.
Keep telling yourself that,and maybe
one day you actually will believe it.
Oh,come on.
Try the ml? e attack when you're
stuck in the corner like that.
There you go.
How'd you know that?
Uh,one of the foster families
I stayed with had an Xbox,
and I've been stuck in this cabin
for three days with nothing to do.
Want to go
head-to-head?
How many foster families have you had?
Twelve. Well,13,counting the Mercers.
What was that like,bouncing
from place to place?
you just learn not to get too
attached to things... or people.
Although sometimes it's hard not to.
It's so crazy that I finally
land with this amazing family,
you know,find my real sister...
and now all this:
Sutton's back,the hiding...
someone out there trying to kill us.
I shouldn't have accused you of having
something to do with Sutton's disappearance.
That's okay. You
weren't thinking clearly.
- None of us were.
- Yeah,but still,it wasn't right.
If Mads went missing and someone blamed
me, I'd come at them with both guns blazing.
Like... this?
And that,my friend,is
how we do it in Sin City.
oh,man.
It's so bizarre because of Emma, all my
teachers think I'm going to ace my midterms.
You'll do fine.
It's like I'm living in this parallel
universe,where I'm a total egghead.
There's Derek.
Oh,my God.
The snake.
It was him.
Dude,I'm just trying
to ask you a question ¨C
- I want to know where you were the night of Sutton's party.
- What the hell difference does it make?
I was home,okay?
What's your problem,man?
Rogers. Get to class.
You,too,Whitehorse.
- He's not copping to anything.
- It was him.
His tattoo
- that's the snake that Annie Hobbs was talking about,it has to be.
After fourth period,we'll
talk to him together,all right?
That's the worst idea ever.
Why can't you just tell them
that we're back together?
Speaking of "worst idea ever.
" I just don't like
sneaking around and hiding.
If your parents caught us,th...
They'd be furious.
And I can't say I blame them. I mean...
we all know what you came here to do.
That's your parents.
But we're okay,right?
I just... want to be with you,Laurel.
I want that,too.
But... you're the last person my
mom or dad wants me dating right now,
and that's something we're
gonna have to deal with,so...
we continue to sneak around... and lie.
Fine.
If that's what it's gonna take...
I'm in.
I don't see him.
Mrs. Ihrig. Have you seen Derek Rogers?
He went home early.
Food poisoning,I think.
Yes,I understand the need
for patient confidentiality.
It's-it's just that I would
sleep so much better knowing that
Annie made it back to the clinic safely.
I was her nurse at the
hospital here in Scottsdale.
And such a sweet lady
- it would just mean so much if you could just check for me?
I would so appreciate
that. Yes,I'll hold.
Rebecca,hi.
- Oh,you're on the phone.
- Oh,that's all right.
No,it's okay.
I just had my membership interview,so...
Gosh,you'd think I was applying
to Harvard or something.
Is everything okay? You
seem a little distracted.
Sorry,I've got teenage trouble.
Sutton?
Rebellious and stubborn one day,and
the next day, rebellious and stubborn.
Hello,ladies.
Hi,Rebecca. How are you?
- Good. How are you?
- I'm good.
- How was the interview?
- It went well.
Perennials and-and
annuals and tulip bulbs.
Very well,thanks to you.
It seems flattery is
getting you everywhere,huh?
- See you later?
- Bye.
So... you and Alec.
I'm just so surprised.
I mean,after the way he
treated you in high school.
Well,I'm... not the same
girl that I was back then.
And between you and me,it's kind of
a thrill to be back and turning heads.
Have a nice lunch.
Sutton... we can handle this.
Why don't you go wait in the car.
No. He tried to kill me,remember?
Is Derek here?
If you're looking to buy
drugs,you've come to the wrong place.
No,I-I'm...
He,uh,missed some classes,and
I brought his homework.
Homework? You're kidding.
You're friends of Derek's?
Uh,he... used to date my friend,Char,
and broke up with her
out of the blue,and,uh...
didn't show up for my birthday
party two Saturdays ago,so...
He said he was with you,but now
I don't know what to believe.
We're just really worried about him.
A week ago Saturday,that was the
night his car broke down at the lake.
- The lake?
- Howley Lake. He got a ride home with that cop.
When the police car pulled up,I
just assumed he'd been busted again.
Do you rember which one?
Oh,believe me,I've met 'em all; he was the nice one
- Dan... something.
- Whitehorse?
- Yeah,that's it.
Dan Whitehorse.
And she was sure it was Dan
who took him home that night?
Apparently,Derek's mom is on a first-name
basis with half of Scottsdale's finest.
Guy's spent more time
in juvie than you have.
I'm gonna head home. I'll talk to Dan.
I'll come with you.
He's not gonna say anything
to me if you're there.
Well,I need to do something.
- Don't you have midterms this week?
- Yes.
And thank you so much for setting
up those monster expectations.
I can't even think about school when Derek's out there
- he tried to kill me.
I need to find out why.
Okay... you go find
Derek. I'll take the tests.
Emma...
No,Sutton's right; she needs
to be the one to confront him,
and I'm already up on all
the classes,so it makes sense.
You would do that for me?
Wait a minute,this isn't your way of
just,like,getting back into the house?
If you fail midterms,our
cover is potentially blown.
This will just buy us more time.
Well,then in that case...
... you'll need this.
We could take her car away,right?
The cell phone. Ground her.
How many times have we
said that? It isn't working.
I think we should start treating her like an adult, tell
her how it's making us feel, what it's actually doing to us.
Yeah,that sounds a
little touch-feely to me.
Like anything you
suggest has been working?
This isn't about Sutton,is it?
Hey,guys. Smells amazing!
Yeah,not so fast,young lady. Your
mother and I want to talk to you.
- Uh,okay.
- It's about the way you've been behaving lately.
We know you've been under a
lot of pressure with midterms,
but when you are short
with your father or me,
it makes us feel like
you disrespect us,and...
personally... it hurts my feelings.
I'm sorry... that I
made you feel that way.
I have so much respect
for both you and Dad.
You have no idea.
Yeah,well,you have a
funny way of showing it.
Look,I know I can
be...difficult sometimes,
but I care about you guys so much.
I am so lucky to have you as my parents.
I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.
- It's all right. ...
Thank you.
If it isn't little
Miss Multi-Hyphenate.
Singer-slash-
violinist,right?
Something like that.
You should get up there. It's open mike.
I prefer to lurk.
I liked your song,by the way.
Oh,thanks. Something's
off with the bridge.
Maybe that last chord should be an A-suspended
seventh and not an A-suspended fourth.
Would you mind if I join you?
Hey,guys.
Nice job up there.
I'm,uh,Justin,Laurel's boyfriend.
Baz. Your girlfriend and
I were just talking music.
She's got a hell of an ear.
It's getting late.
I should get you home before your
parents start wondering where you are.
Nice to meet you.
- See ya.
- See ya.
Thank you again for
letting me copy your notes.
These last few days have been a blur.
It's good to see you two taking
your midterms seriously this year.
Sutton has all A's this semester.
Is that right? That's impressive.
You need anything,let me know,okay?
Hey,are we still on to study
tomorrow night at the library?
You're not backing out,are you?
No.
Wh... What time did we say again?
Seven.
Seven. Yes,I will be there.
Dan.
What were you doing giving Derek Rogers
a ride home the night of Sutton's party?
Kid's car broke down.
Found him on the side of the
road looking like a drowned rat.
By the lake?
He was hitching a ride in the
rain. What's with the interrogation?
The Mercer car went
into the lake that night.
Did it not occur to you that
there might be a connection there?
Of course it did.
But then you and Sutton came up
with this-this joyriding story.
So why reopen a case
that's already been closed?
Unless-unless you've got some new information
that would make us want to reopen the case?
No. I guess not.
I come bearing kung pao chicken.
Brown rice,no onions.
Are you online friends with Derek?
Emma must have friended
him when he was dating Char.
He hasn't updated his
status since yesterday.
I can't believe that I'm stuck in
here,and she's back living my life.
Let me see this.
{a6}****
Hey,what is the deal with guys and cars?
I don't know,but apparently Derek
spends a lot of time at this body shop.
I think we should go there
now,see if we can find him.
Well,Ethan's gonna stop by after school.
So,he can take me.
Sutton,come on,you really think he's going
to fall for this damsel in distress act?
Act? I'm sorry,last time I
checked,somebody tried to kill me.
So you put the moves on Ethan while
Emma's studying for your midterms.
Hey,she offered.
Probably to get the
hell out of this place.
She's doing it for you.
No,she's doing it so she can prove,yet again,
that she's better at being me than I am.
All she ever wanted was a real family.
Yeah,unfortunately,it's mine.
Bye.
You know what?
When we get to the other side of this, I
think you should get to know Emma better.
Let me guess. Because I
could learn so much from her?
Yeah,well,now that you
mention it,actually,you could.
Hey,Alec,you got a minute?
I got lots of minutes; what's up,Dan?
That kid,Derek Rogers,I think he may have had
something to do with the Mercer car going missing.
Oh,yeah?
Last I checked,that case was closed.
I think we should reopen it.
Really? Didn't your brother and
Sutton drive that car into the lake?
Uh,from the very beginning,I
thought they were lying about that.
What makes you think Derek
Rogers has anything to do with it?
That night,by the lake,I
gave him a ride home.
He said his car broke down, but I think
we should bring him in for questioning.
Sure,do what you want,but I
can't bring that case to trial.
Not when there's a confession on record.
I still think we should bring him in.
I wouldn't get hung up on it,Dan.
You'd be wasting your time.
{a6}********
Good thing your dad changed his mind
about letting you come out tonight.
Actually,he has no idea that I'm here.
Thinks I'm studying with Sutton.
Ah,subterfuge.
Your good friend Sutton's idea,no doubt.
Oh,it's no big deal. We cover
for each other all the time.
And you're sure you can
trust her not to say anything?
She's my best friend.
She'd never rat me out.
Come on.
- Hello?
- Alec,hi,it's Sutton.
- Is Mads there?
- Isn't she with you?
No,she hasn't shown up yet,and
she's not picking up her cell.
Well,she left here awhile ago.
Hm,well,maybe she just
stopped to grab some food.
I'll hang out here another half hour.
Okay,well,do me a favor.
Whether she shows up or
not,you call me either way,okay?
Of course. Bye.
- Hello?
- Rebecca,it's Alec.
Uh,I'm sorry to have to
cancel. Something's come up.
Shop's closed. Come back tomorrow.
What are you doing here?
Well,I want to know what you were
doing in the backseat of my car.
Got no idea what you're talking about.
The night I went into the
lake. You tried to kill me.
I was at home that night.
Now,if you don't mind?
We know Dan picked you up by the lake.
What if he did? I went for a walk.
Stop lying to me.
All right,but it didn't go down
like it was supposed to,okay?
I didn't want to hurt you. I was just
supposed to take you to a parking lot,
but you freaked out,then
the car went over.
Then when I saw you in
school,that you were okay...
You swam out of the lake,and
you just left her there?
I panicked.
You were working for someone;
who told you to get in that car?
They tell you to send the note,too?
Note? What note?
Who sent you?!
- I can't.
- Derek,tell us!
Oh,my God. Someone's coming.
Come on,let's go,get
out of here right now..
Don't say a word,all right?
I've got this.
License and registration.
- Ethan?
- Harry.
What seems to be the problem?
You've got a taillight out.
What happened there?
I was putting new brake pads on my
bike and scraped my hand on the chain.
Here.
Ah,don't worry about it.
Just get the taillight fixed,and you
might want to have that hand looked at.
- Will do.
- Night.
Alec.
Rebecca? What a surprise.
Didn't you say you had
to stay close to home?
Yeah. I was just getting
something out of my car.
- What's all that?
- Well,I picked up dinner.
I thought I'd keep you company
while you wait for Mads.
How nice.
- Come in.
- Okay.
- You look like you could use a drink.
- Do I?
So,has Mads done this before? No.
That's the strange thing. She's
been such a good kid,you know?
All of a sudden,she's
just acting different.
Different how?
I don't know. You know,she
used to talk to me.
We used to share
things; now she's lying.
Oh,come on,I used to lie to my
parents all the time as a teenager.
- Didn't you?
- Never.
Okay,a lot.
Oh,well,Mads is a really good kid.
And I'm sure she's just
at the mall or the movies.
Or lying in a ditch somewhere.
You can't let yourself go there.
I know. I'm sorry,it's just,uh...
It's tough not to,in my
line of work,you know,so...
What?
I guess I just realized how
difficult this must be for you,
to raise two kids on your own.
For what it's worth,I think
you're a terrific father.
Thank you.
You know,I always wondered
about that decision I made.
What it would've been like
to have kids of my own.
I know I said this
before,but I'll say it again.
I never blamed you for that.
♪ Set the lights just how you want to ♪

- Yeah,I like it.
- Yeah?
Um,what if it's more
like? Two,three,four.
♪ Set the lights just how you want to ♪
♪ Write the lines but

Yeah. That's awesome; that's
way better. That's way better.
All right,so remind me to tell Rebecca
thank you for giving me your number.
Cool. You want to try it?

You guys sound amazing.
Baz,this is my sister,Sutton.
Nice to meet you.
I'm gonna grab my laptop.
Do you want to lay this down?
- Yeah.
- Cool.
He was the one you played
at the benefit with,right?
Yes,and he just asked
me to be in his band.
- Amazing,right?
- Yes.
Now I have a perfect excuse.
We rehearse twice a week,and then I'll tell
Mom and Dad that it's four, and go see Justin.
Are you sure that's a good idea?
You're the one who said I should lie.
Right. Of course I did.
Since when do you have
a problem with lying?
I don't. It's just...
With a lie like this,you'll be deceiving
people you care about every day.
And I just,I don't want that for you.
Big sis,worried about me.
You're a total pain in the
ass sometimes,but I love you.
Hey,what's the score?
28-zip. Mental mistakes and turnovers.
How's the studying going?
Okay. Well,except for chemistry.
lons and neutrons
- who can keep 'em straight?
A few nerdy guys in
the lab. No one else.
That cut should be just about
healed. Here,let's have a look.
- Ah,no,it's fine. You're watching the game.
- No. It's a blowout.
Come on. Come on,it'll
only take a minute.
I said,it's fine.
- And she's back.
- What was that about?
Well,I went to check angel Sutton's
cut,and devil Sutton threw a fit.
Ted...
Honey,whatever happened between
you and her yesterday was a fluke.
That's our real daughter.
Do you want to tell
me where you've been?
I was at the library with Sutton.
That's interesting,because Sutton called
here three hours ago,looking for you.
Want to try again,tell
me the truth? Maddie?
One of my favorite bands was in town
for the night,and Ryan got tickets.
- Slow Train.
- At Hangar 19?
Oh,lucky. Those tickets have
been sold out for,like,a month...
So,I'm gonna shut up now.
Why don't you go up to your
room; we'll talk about it later?
Yeah,you know,it's getting
late. We should probably...
- I'm so sorry.
- That's all right.
I shouldn't have said anything. It's...
It's just that Mads is a sweet kid.
She's your daughter,and I
just want her to like me.
- It's crazy,isn't it?
- Not at all.
Well,at least let me help you clean up.
So,Derek didn't try to kill Sutton?
He said he was just supposed
to take her to meet someone.
- Who?
- I never got it out of him.
A few more minutes,he would've
talked, but this car pulled up outside,
and me and Sutton made a run for it.
Sorry.
Are you sure you don't want
to get that checked out?
It'll be fine. It's not broken,so...
Sutton wants to go back there
tomorrow,though,see if he shows up.
Well,she can't go by
herself. It's too dangerous.
You should go with her.
You know,every second I'm with
her,I'm thinking about you.
I heard the call. What have you got?
It looks like a drug deal
gone bad,from what we can tell.
Dealer was beaten to death last night.
Tire iron,or some other blunt object.
We couldn't find it,but
we're still looking.
Yeah,I know him. I was just
talking to my brother about him.
Ethan have anything
against this Derek kid?
Not that I know of. Why?
I pulled him over last night
about a quarter mile from here.
His hand was pretty busted
up,like he'd been in a fight.
You don't know that.
Look,it's not in the
record,I didn't write him up,
but as soon as I mention this, they're
gonna want to bring him in for questioning.
The Mercer girl,too.
Sutton?
- She was in the car with him.
- Damn it.
Give me an hour. Just give me one hour.
All right.
Hey,how come you didn't
show up at the library?
You are unbelievable.
Don't go giving me that innocent look.
You've been planning this all along.
I honestly have no idea
what you're talking about.
If you didn't want me going out with
Ryan, you should have just said so.
Now I'm grounded for a week.
So thanks a lot.
Did you get in a fight with
Derek Rogers last night?
Yeah. Why,is that against the law?
When the other guy dies,it
is. It's called murder.
They found his body outside
of a body shop,beaten to death.
I hit the guy once. He
came at me with a tire iron.
So you're telling me you were there?
He... He was working on
a car inside the shop.
Dan,I clocked him pretty hard,but he
was getting up by the time I was leaving.
Where have you been since then?
I was with Sutton at the
Mercers',and then I'm here.
Anyone else besides your
girlfriend see you there?
- No.
- So she's your only alibi?
Yes.
Damn it,Ethan. Damn
you for this! Come on!
Dan,I swear to you,I did
not kill this guy,okay?
You need to get out of town right now.
If I run,they're going to
think I did it for sure.
You don't have a choice!
With your record,they will fry
your ass for this,you understand me?
All right,hmm?
Take this. It's not
much. It's all I got.
And I promise you,I will find
whoever really killed this kid,okay?
But until then,you need to lay low.
No phone calls,no texts,no
video messages,whatever.
Not even to Sutton.
- All right?
- All right. All right.
If you don't find out who did this,
there's no coming back here,is there?
No.
Go on,get out of here. Go on!
If you're calling about Derek
Rogers,I've already heard.
I'm headed over to the station now.
Dan,I understand your brother
may be mixed up in this.
You have any idea where he is?
No. I haven't seen him since last night.
Call me when you know more.
Everything okay?
Derek Rogers was found
dead this morning.
What?!
They think Ethan Whitehorse
may be mixed up in it.
No. No,there's no way.
It's important you keep your distance
from him right now,do you understand?
That boy's in serious trouble.
I was there. I can tell
the cops what happened.
Derek was alive when we left.
They'll think you're
lying to protect me.
Ethan,you can't just run away.
If I stay here,I'm
going down for this,okay?
Now,get your stuff together.
We got to get to Emma.
You talked to her?
Midterms. Her phone's off.
So that's the plan?
We switch places again,and
you guys run away together?
You both can't be here right
now. It's way too dangerous.
- We'll be fine.
- Don't you get it?
Someone killed Derek because we
were getting too close to the truth.
So,what am I supposed
to do,just be here alone?
Look,the cops are gonna be watching
you 24/7,waiting for me to show up.
You'll be safer here.
What the hell happened last night?
My dad is saying that
you killed Derek Rogers.
No time for this right now. I'll
tell you on the way. Let's go.
All right,I'll head in and find Emma.
- What if they see the two of you?
- I'm going in.
You and Emma can swap clothes behind
that Dumpster when we get back.
Well,guess I'm failing
my midterms after all.
Come on.
Ethan,where have you been?
You missed the last exam.
- You need to come with me.
- No,I have a test.
Derek's dead.
Okay,the cops found his body
this morning. They think I did it.
- Oh,my God.
- Come on,let's go.
Are you all right?
Uh,yeah,I just... I broke my heel.
I need to talk to you.
Let me help you with that.
There you go.
- Have you seen Ethan
Whitehorse today? - Uh-uh,no.
I actually have to go
take an exam,though,so...
Actually,I think you
need to come with me.
- Where's Emma?
- The cops got to her. We can't make the switch.
Get out... both of you.
I... I'm coming with you.
No,you're not. Get out!
No,I'm coming with you!
It's too dangerous for both of
us to be here at the same time.
You said it yourself.
Just go!
I'd like to see this one.
Excellent choice.
Stunning.
Has he popped the question?
Not yet,but it's only a matter of time.
