The Lying Game (2011–2013): Season 2, Episode 1 - The Revengers - full transcript

My name is Emma Becker.

I grew up in a ton of foster homes

and then... surprise!... I
find out I have a twin sister.

You want me to take your place...

I was the pauper, she was the princess.

Being Sutton was a fantasy come true.

It all worked perfectly until that kiss...

You're not Sutton.

We tried to stay apart,
out of respect for Sutton

and what she had with
Ethan, but we couldn't.

Of course I didn't know, in L.A.,



Sutton had secrets of her own.

Part of me wanted just to run,

but I couldn't leave my new family,

even when I found out
they were keeping the truth

about our birth mother a secret.

The woman's dead.

What are we going to tell her

when she finds out that isn't true?

Then Sutton came back to Scottsdale,

and things got dangerous.

Someone tried to kill me!

Next, a woman named Rebecca showed up,

with so many lies of her own.

Sutton went into hiding,



because there was someone out there

willing to kill to keep us a secret.

Who sent you?

Dealer was beaten to death last night.

Ethan was blamed for Derek's murder

and had to go on the run.

This time, when Sutton seduced him,

she wasn't pretending to
be anybody except herself.

I love you. I always have.

I had no idea.

And when Ethan returned, I thought things

would go back to the way they were.

But it didn't work out that way.

- I'm sorry; I can't.
- Why?

I kissed Sutton on the ranch.

But it's over now.

Ethan has feelings for someone else.

Meanwhile, there was
still a killer out there.

If that picture gets
into the wrong hands...

- I might have a solution.
- Okay.

We're getting married.

Digging into Rebecca's past,

we uncovered another secret.

The love of her life.

She always had a photograph
of his in a locket.

Oh, my God... Ted.

Dad and Rebecca had an affair.

- Kristin, whatever Rebecca said...
- What does is feel like

building a family on a mountain of lies?

- You guys need to see this.
- Oh, my God...

I pronounce you husband and wife.

You're under arrest for
the murder of Derek Rogers.

No! Come with us, please.

I was set up!

Hey, you okay?

So many things I knew.

So many things I still had to find out.

Hi, Mom.

It's all working perfectly, Sutton.

Here they come!

Is he guilty?!

Did you text your heart
out to someone about it?!

Is he guilty? Is he guilty?

Can't tell us anything?

Here she comes, over here.

How do you feel about this?

Only a few questions, please,

as I need to get inside
to be with my husband.

Guys, I need a minute.

Save us seats?

God, look at these circles.

No sleep, huh?

It's too much partying.

Especially last night.

I so wanted today to never come.

He's gonna make bail, Emma.

And when he does,

we are all so thoroughly screwed:

Me, Thayer, you;

everyone who put him in jail.

Honestly, I don't really care. I'm sorry,

but I'm here to confront him,

and I just, I need to know why

he would kill Derek

and what that has to
do with my birth mother.

I have one shot,

and I'm gonna go straight for the heart.

If that was supposed to make
me feel better, it didn't.

Sorry.

It's okay.

Why don't you go on ahead? I'll meet you.

Okay.

Sutton, what are you doing here?

Burning curiosity.

Plus I knew that you were
going to confront Alec,

and I wanted to see it.

Okay, well, what if somebody sees you?

This is risky.

Oh, Sutton.

Hi, Rebecca. Excuse me.

Actually, I was hoping I could apologize.

- For what?
- Well, you know,

you were trying to warn me about Alec,

and I refused to believe you.

But see, I, I was...

I am, I'm in love with him.

And I just think that
he's still being framed.

I'm sure there's a ton
of theories out there.

Now if you'll excuse me,

I'm just gonna go be with my friends.

Of course.

Gotta say, that was quite impressive.

How'd it go with you?

I played nice, just like you suggested.

She thinks that we're
still hot on the trail

of finding our birth mother.

Not going to happen.

Alec is gonna spend tonight in jail,

and many more nights.

In the meantime, Sutton,

I need you to keep getting
closer to your sister.

- Even if I really don't feel it?
- Just do what

I do with Alec.

Pretend that you love him

until he gets thrown in the gas chamber?

Actually, it's lethal injection now.

Wish me luck.

Murder, conspiracy,

failure to cooperate with law enforcement.

I really have no choice in this matter.

Bail is denied.

The defendant will be remanded into custody

until a trial date can be set.

We'll take a ten-minute recess.

You're fired.

Oh, my gosh.

Hey, dad.

Guys, I know this is still awkward,

but the offer stands.

You can stay with me,
there's plenty of room,

and now that your dad's not getting...

gonna get out any time soon...

That's okay, Rebecca,
but we're good at home.

- Right, Mads?
- Yeah.

- This must be so tough on you two.
- Yes, it is.

Thanks again for the offer, but we're fine.

Okay.

If your mom would just
talk to me, or listen...

I have... I have an idea.

Fairway Music Fest is this weekend, right?

You're performing.

- Mm-hmm.
- If you just get her there,

I'll do the rest.

Ted. Thank you for coming.

You and Alec are such good friends.

- Your support means everything to him.
- Mm-hmm.

Ted, does it really have to be this way?

Yeah, it does.

But we have so much in common now.

What we have is what we had,

which was a brief affair
a zillion years ago.

An affair that ruined my marriage.

I thought it was the
lies that you told Kristin

that ruined your marriage.

Hey...

stay out of my life, Rebecca, you hear me?

It was so weird.

He actually winked at me.

Like he knows something,
or he's ahead of the game.

You can't engage him.

Look, I've always felt that Derek's murder

had something to do with our birth mother.

- I think Alec knows who she is.
- Okay,

you are not going to see
him, do you understand?

All he's gonna do is heap on more lies.

Even behind bars, that man is dangerous.

All right, Mads, come on.

Let's get the car and
meet these guys out front.

What was that all about?

Just something about their father.

Uh-oh.

Awkward.

- Hey.
- Hi.

I didn't see you in the courtroom.

I... I wasn't there.

I had a meeting with my parole officer.

I've been skipping school and, um...

well, you know.

Wow.

Let him drive the convertible now, huh?

That's pretty serious.

Soon Alec will be convicted,

and I will fleece him in the divorce,

and win back Ted,

and have my family back together again.

Ted and me...

and my two twin daughters.

The family that should have been.

Mm-hmm.

Do I sense reservation?

It'd just be neater if
I were an only child.

In case you've forgotten,

Emma stole my life, and...

well, the girl still has it.

- And you know why.
- If Ted ever found out

that you've known I'm your daughter,

and that there are twins,

you wouldn't have a chance.

Another reason to be nice to your sister,

I can tell she and Laurel

- are determined to get Kristin and Ted back together.
- Yeah.

Time heals all wounds.

- Except yours, of course.
- Hmm.

I need you to get back
in there and find out

- what they're planning.
- So you can foil it?

So we can foil it.

Foil.

Such a nice...

ring to it.

Oh, thank God you're making
dinner. I am just too exhausted.

Where've you been, Mom?
You're all dressed up.

I had a drink with Lindsey Ridgeway.

- Who?
- The attorney?

The divorce attorney, yes.

I just want to know

what my rights are, what happens if I file.

What to expect financially and otherwise.

I think dad just wants to talk to you.

I know, sweetie. I know
that's what he wants,

but I just don't know if
that's what I want, and...

I think, in the meantime,

if he wants to talk, he can...

do it through Lindsey.

I think I have to get out of this suit.

A broken home.

- Us...
- No, Laurel,

I'm not gonna let that happen.

I have seen broken homes,

and the courts do come in, they take over,

the kids get shafted...

you know.

Not as much as you do, apparently.

You know, I...

I have a headache.

I'm gonna just skip dinner.

I know, I know I shouldn't risk being seen,

but this is crazy.

He didn't get out on bail?

What happened in that courtroom?

I don't know. Except
they denied bail and...

he winked at me.

And he had this little smile,

like he wanted me to know that he was...

- Ahead of the game?
- Exactly.

This all connects. He knows
about our birth mother.

I am so sure of it.

But if he goes to prison,

then the secrets go with him.

- Maybe.
- Well, I want to know

about this plot you have

to get Ted and Kristin back together.

- Don't tell me that that trail's gone cold, too.
- No.

Saturday night at the club,

they're both going to show
up to watch Laurel perform.

We just think that maybe
their love for their kids

will bring them together.

You know what I think, Emma?

No, what do you think, Sutton?

When our embryos split...

you got all the heart.

Ethan!

You brought me coffee?

What a guy.

It's for me.

Another late night?

I don't know how this keeps happening.

Look at you, skipping school,

riding around on them bikes way too fast.

Forget juvie, kid, you're
gonna end up in the morgue.

Well, I'll make sure it doesn't
happen in your jurisdiction.

I got to get to work.

You going to be okay?

All right.

Bye.

Dan's a lot of good things,

but the soft touch...
it's not his specialty.

Yeah, you can say that again.

Dan's a lot of good things, but the soft...

Okay.

Nice smile.

You should use it more often.

Thanks for the advice.

Can you take a little bit more?

Let me guess, get over Sutton.

The exact opposite.

Don't give up on her.

Or yourself. Look at Dan and I.

We almost did, and we found our way back.

You and Sutton can, too.

So they're using the event

to get Ted and Kristin together.

Get them to talk and work things out.

Hmm, which just leaves one question.

Hmm?

What am I wearing to the event?

Considering all the trouble
you're going to cause,

may I suggest a suit of armor?

Oh, I'm sorry.

- It's just...
- It's okay.

I missed so much of your growing up.

Doing my little girl's
hair and playing dress up.

I hope you weren't disappointed

when you found out I was your mother.

No.

No.

This... this has been amazing, Rebecca.

It'll be even more amazing when
you go back to calling me mom.

Okay.

Mom.

Well, this is a surprise.

- Is it?
- Yeah.

You want to know another surprise?

I'm getting pretty good
at telling you two apart.

Emma.

How long have you known about us?

Let's say a while.

Is that why you killed Derek?

To protect the secret?

This all connects, doesn't it?

You know who my birth mother is.

Your birth mother?

I thought you weren't
interested in your birth mother,

I mean, since you found
Ted and Kristin and all.

Look at you.

Sitting there all confused.

You're wondering why you
don't just confess it all.

Just come clean.

You know you can't.

You know why.

It'll destroy the only
family you've ever had.

I know why I can't say anything.

But what is stopping you
from saying something?

When I get out of here...
and I will get out of here...

maybe I'll tell you.

That's not good enough!

I need answers.

You need to tell me something.

Okay.

How about this?

I wouldn't trust Sutton.

She might not be as much
on your side as you think.

Everything okay?

Just threw a chain.

Almost got it back on.

Hmm.

How'd you know I was out here?

Oh, I was just in the neighborhood.

Oh, that's pretty convenient.

I remember you used to come up here

when you needed to blow off steam.

We used to come up here.

Come here.

Here.

Need you to hold this bolt in place.

Grab the wrench.

Hold it there, tight.

Yeah, good.

So I'm sure you've already heard,

I am letting Emma keep my
life for a little bit longer.

She needs to get our parents back together,

and I respect that.

I got it.

You don't want me to talk about Emma.

I don't want to talk about Emma.

Okay? Or you, or myself.

Okay.

Hey, let's go for a ride.

You have to have a helmet.

Oh, I just so happen
to have one in the car.

Really?

Come on, what do you say?

For old times' sake.

What, you're just giving up?

Think you know why.

Oh, is it too dangerous for you?

Sutton, get on the bike; I'm
taking you back to your car.

No. Since when has danger ever stopped you?

Come on, tell me you didn't enjoy that.

All right, get on the bike.

No... get on...

Ow!

Hey, what happened?

- Ow, my ankle.
- You all right?

Ow!

Are you kidding me?

I can't believe you went there.

I told you not to.

I told you what would happen, come on.

Sorry.

He knows.

He knows about me and
Sutton, that we're twins,

our names, the switches.

We suspected that from the beginning.

He told me that I can't trust Sutton,

that she's not on our side.

What does that mean?

Either he knows something
or he suspects something.

Either way, he is messing with you.

You're probably wondering
why I asked you here.

The thought crossed my mind,

as I was instrumental in putting you here.

Yeah.

I want you to represent me.

This has to be a joke.

No... that was my last attorney.

I've decided I need someone

familiar with the evidence

and absolutely convinced of my guilt.

If I can persuade that person,

I can persuade a judge and jury.

Well, I don't think...
at least in my case...

that's even a remote possibility.

Have a seat.

Let me try?

Go on, sit down.

It's a rather long and complicated story.

So, what did he want?

He wants me to represent him.

He's even further gone than I thought.

I told him I would.

What?

Theresa, I... I get the "everyone
needs fair representation" idea.

There is compelling evidence
that he didn't do this,

that he was framed.

Oh, okay.

So what's the evidence?

I can't tell you.

Attorney-client privilege...

Right.

I'm sorry.

You know, you're so great for doing this.

Thank you.

Well, anybody sees
Sutton Mercer in the E.R.,

you and Emma are out.

Why do you care?

Emma has already

made it very clear that she
wants nothing to do with you,

and Thayer just seems
to be moving right in.

You're going to need
something for the pain.

You have any aspirin or
ibuprofen around here?

There's a first aid kit in that corner.

Ethan, can I ask you something?

Do you think that some things...

Or maybe even all things...
happen for a reason

and there aren't any accidents?

I don't know.

Well, I'm pretty sure

that's what native Americans believe.

I saw it in a movie once.

Pocahontas is not the
quintessential history

of the Native American.

Okay.

It's just that, today on the
side of the road, I saw you,

and then the guy on
the motorcycle drove by,

and my ankle.

Yeah, you're gonna need to stay off of it

for about a day, okay?

So you don't believe in destiny?

I can't.

I've been burned by it too many times.

You're upset because I asked
to see Emma and not you?

You are messing with her head.

I told her not to trust her sister.

That's valid advice.

- How long have you known about the twins?
- Immaterial.

Not to me, and not to Emma.

I didn't tell her anything else.

I'm sure as hell not going to tell you.

You two pretty tight now, aren't you?

- Yeah.
- When did that happen?

Oh, let me guess.

Right about the same time

you were both plotting to throw me in jail.

One sister.

Then the other.

You going back and forth between the two?

I'd watch that temper, son.

It could get you into all kinds of trouble.

Hi.

Hi.

Clearly, you were expecting Ethan.

He, uh...

he has to work the Fairway Fest tonight.

Oh. That's happening already?

So, how's it feeling? Any better?

Ew. It's throbbing.

You know, I definitely
have some ankle experience.

All that dancing. I've seen my fair share

of twists and sprains. Maybe
I should take a look at it.

Oh, no need. Ethan has me
all set up here with the ice,

and...

pillows.

- He is such a Saint, that guy.
- Mm-hmm.

He is so available now.

Well, thank you for the food,
and that's a great dress.

Hmm.

- Going fishing tonight?
- No.

No fishing. Just, uh,
gonna go have a good time.

Right.

Everybody's trying to
get on with their lives.

I'm not sure I'd be able

to get on with my life if I
knew my dad was a murderer.

What's that like?

I bet not half as difficult

as faking an ankle sprain,

trying to get Ethan into bed with you.

Have a nice night, Sutton.

Thanks.

Look who's here.

It was a nice move back on East 80.

I'm a little surprised you're
still in one piece, though.

So that was you in my rearview mirror.

Let me guess. You were
the girl on the back.

Probably.

California plates?

You new in town?

Could be.

I'm Jordan.

Hi. Sutton Mercer.

This is Ethan Whitehorse.

Cute couple.

Not anymore.

Careful. It's probably a little
more power than you're used to.

So, Jordan, are you a member here?

No, but never stopped me before.

I like that guy.

- What?!
- You heard me.

I need you to hit me in the
ankle with this firewood.

- You've lost your mind.
- No.

The swelling has gone down, my
ankle is better, and if Ethan

finds out that I'm faking
it, I am back to square one.

Okay, this is not the way to go about it.

You've set yourself up for failure.

I don't see what you're
doing is any different.

I don't have a choice.

When you went up to the ranch...

What happened?

We... connected.

How?

Why?

I stopped playing games.

Because you were honest.

Sometimes I wonder if I'd
been more honest with Ted...

that this might have all
turned out very differently.

Well, honesty isn't exactly my forte.

Nor is it mine.

I guess it's another case of
like mother, like daughter.

If that's true, then how come
it comes so easily for Emma?

I don't know who he is. Jordan somebody.

Hmm. Ethan seemed to know him, though.

He mentioned something

about me being on the back of Ethan's bike.

Hmm. Well, it was probably Sutton.

She twisted her ankle.

Actually, she faked a twisted ankle,

setting up an heroic rescue by Ethan.

Wait a minute. Where's Thayer?

I thought he was supposed to come with you.

He left me a voice mail to meet him here.

Oh.

This thing with your dad
has kind of made him crazy.

Yeah, the thing about Thayer
is, he is such a good guy,

but he also has this
major chip on his shoulder.

About your dad?

I'll let him tell you.

God, I am so sick of this.

Just pretending like nothing's happened.

Dressing up and smiling

while everyone's whispering behind my back.

"Her dad killed someone."

You want to get something to drink?

Uh-huh.

But probably not what you're offering.

Oh, hello, judge.

You got my contribution?

Uh, you were very generous, Mrs. Rybak.

Hi. What can I get you?

Vodka tonic and Chardonnay.

Okay. Vodka tonic and
Chardonnay coming right up.

Thanks.

Kristin.

- How are you?
- Oh, I'm fine, Rebecca.

How are you?

Well, now that you ask, uh...

hasn't really been that easy.

Well, I imagine it hasn't been.

How's Alec?

Kristin...

I never really had a chance

to tell you how sorry I am for the affair

and how you found out.

It was such a long time ago.

And there's really no excuse.

It... just happened.

And you and Ted were going

through all that fertility stuff, and...

I'm sorry.

- I really shouldn't go on like that.
- No, please. Go on.

So, Ted told you about that?

Well, yes.

And how difficult it was,

especially on you.

You seem surprised.

Well, I guess I just assumed...

It was only about the sex?

Huh.

I'm sorry.

I know you're trying
to fix things with Ted.

Forget I said anything.

Oh, I will.

Hi. There you are.

Sorry, I'm late.

It's okay. What's up?

Nothing.

Uh, just a bunch of hassles.

Hey, I'm gonna grab us a
blanket and some food, okay?

Okay.

Mom. Excuse me. Hi.

- Hey, sweetie.
- Thank you so much for coming.

It means the world to Laurel.

Hi, Kristin.

Hi.

As always,

you look amazing.

Well, thank you, Ted.

Think that's a good idea?

It's a really rotten idea,

and I wouldn't recommend it to just anyone.

Did you know that there are still reporters

camped out in front of our house?

Thayer and I sneak out the back.

And Ryan dumped me... day one.

He said that we should have
gone straight to our dad

with our suspicions, instead of the cops.

Guys can be so judgmental.

I hate him, even though
part of me knows he's right.

Do you want some?

Um... I can't.

Oh.

Right, 'cause you're on duty, huh?

And when you're not on duty...

you're skipping school,

speeding around on that bike
of yours and injuring people.

Whatever.

Hmm. Yeah, those twins
have driven you crazy.

Just about.

At this point, you got to know

Sutton's faking the ankle.

Yeah, I know.

And you just let her?

Why do you allow yourself to be
continually punked by that girl?

Mads, I've got it under control.

But thank you for your concern.

Well, I feel like doing
something crazy, so...

- All right, well, be careful.
- Oh.

Never.

Excuse me, sir? Are you a member?

Actually, uh, he's with me.

There you are, handsome.

I'm sorry. Is there a problem?

My apologies, sir.

Maybe I should introduce myself.

Maybe you shouldn't.

Seems to be working.

Although Kristin is
being a little bit weird.

And so are you. Are you okay?

You've been so quiet.

Yeah, I'm good. I'm okay.

Just looking forward to the show.

I hope this all works.

Look at her. She's incredible.

- I can't believe we created that.
- I can't believe

you were with Rebecca

when we were trying to create that.

Kristin, please don't do this.

It's true.

You had a relationship with her.

It... it was just a brief affair.

You talked to her about us, about me.

What, our life was so horrible

you needed this other woman to stroke

your ego, give you a shoulder to cry on?

- That's not true.
- It is.

I can see it. I do see it on your face.

It wasn't just a sex
thing, a one-night stand.

- It was deeper, it was much deeper than this.
- Okay,

whatever it was, I'm sorry.

I never loved her. I love you.

Love.

God, I don't even know
what that is anymore.

You know what? No. I am not leaving.

You leave, Ted. I came here
to see my daughter perform,

and that's what I'm gonna do.

Mom...

What happened? We can fix it.

Nothing can fix this.

What are you waiting for?

It's delicious in here.

I really think we need
a proper introduction.

I agree.

How about I'll be lost...

and you be found?

So... when are you gonna
tell me what's going on?

I went to visit my dad today.

I couldn't let him get away

with messing with your head.

And now he's messing with yours.

Maybe he is.

He said some things.

Not about the murder, or
knowing about the twins.

Just other things.

About me and you.

I just want you to know that I'm not

playing some kind of a game here.

My feelings for you have
nothing to do with Sutton.

We had whatever we had in L.A.,

but when I got back here and I met you...

and I saw with Mads, and your family,

I knew that I had found
someone real and genuine.

I feel the same way.

That's good.

You know, all this stuff
kind of threw us together,

so we never really talked about it.

I know. I promised myself
I wouldn't overthink it.

Which is exactly

- what I'm doing.
- No.

You're, you're...

you're being honest.

That's really hard to find around here.

So?

Yes, I was faking.

Not in the beginning.

Pretty soon after.

And enough time to make it unforgivable.

You got that right.

You might want to get out
of here before Dan gets home.

Ethan, please wait, and...

let me...

try my honesty card.

I faked the ankle because

I couldn't watch you self-destruct.

And what?

Your little sprained ankle

is gonna somehow give
me something to live for?

No.

It would give me someone to talk to.

I miss you.

And I know you are...

trying to get over Emma,

but we had something.

Up at the ranch, and even before then,

before Emma even got
here, we had something.

We were just...

crazy, and we were good.

Really good.

We escaped our lives together.

And I tried to get over it,

and to move on,

but the truth is, Ethan,

I...

I fell in love with you.

And I'm still in love with you.

And I can't shake it,

and I don't think...

you can either.

Good night, Sutton.

I hate this.

Not being able to touch you.

Thanks for seeing me.

I know it's late.

I tried before. Did they tell you?

Yeah.

I just hadn't...

felt much like having visitors, you know?

I was so shocked at the bail hearing.

I thought for sure they'd let you out.

And now they told me that...

Dan's girlfriend is your new attorney.

She's good.

Real straight shooter. No B.S.

You know, she comes out both guns blazing.

I think she'll do fine.

So you're confident?

I'll be out of here in no time at all.

Well, thank God.

You know, we'd be coming home

from our honeymoon right about now.

I know.

You keep that bed warm for me, okay?

Alec...

"Oh, Alec" what?

I just don't know how I'm
gonna survive all of this.

I've been wondering the exact same thing.

Give him a chance? I did more than that.

And what was the first
thing out of his mouth?

- A big fat lie.
- Mom, he made a mistake.

The lie was tonight, Sutton.

Right to my face.

Maybe Rebecca was lying.

I don't want to talk about this.

Oh, sweetie, please, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry we ruined your night.

That's okay.

No, it's not.

You were up there
singing, it was so lovely,

and we just, we made a mess of it.

I don't care.

Sutton and I just wanted this
to be a night to heal and...

now the problem seems worse.

Sweetie, you have to leave this alone.

You both do.

What happened between you father and me

is, is a mess, but it's our mess,

not yours.

Mads?

- What happened?
- Hey, sorry.

Uh, I did something crazy and stupid.

It's getting to be a habit with me.

Kristin...

uh, I was just wondering if maybe,

um, I could take you up on that offer.

Sweetie, to move in here? Of course.

Yeah, that'd be awesome.

Absolutely.

It totally worked.

The whole honesty thing.

It was very inspired. You are inspired.

Thank you, Mom.

So does that mean you and Ethan?

Nothing huge,

but a tiny step closer.

Definitely closer.

Oh, my gosh. Ted?

That's be perfect. Go...

Hide.

Hi, Mom.

Jordan.
