Hey, Bethany. Any movement on the Willow Street house?

Hi, Greg. Er, yeah, some bites,

and I've got the open house tomorrow.

Look, What? know the ink is still wet on your real estate license,

but you've got to step it up. Go for it.

What? understand.

Not tomorrow, not next week, now. Take charge.

What? will, What? promise. What? will.

Kevin. Calm down. Kevin.

Kevin!

Kevin! Don't leave.

Kevin!

Kevin...

What are you looki...?

Bethany? Clara?

Oh, my God! What's it been? Like, 15 years?

Are you in town for the reunion? Yeah. We thought, "Why not?

"Stay with my mom, see some old friends."

Have a drink with me! Come on. Oh, What? really have to get going.

Oh, come on. Just one.

Look at you! Miss Real Estate Agent. Come on!

Miss Wiggins, home ec.

Do they even teach that any more?

What? didn't know a cake could explode.

What? still can't cook!

That doesn't seem to be an issue,

with you and Kevin travelling so much.

Mm. It's nice to be home.

Who do you think's going to be there tonight?

Probably everyone who succeeded, like you and Kevin.

You guys have travelled the world.

What? haven't even left the neighbourhood.

Mm. Be careful what you wish for.

Travel becomes a blur.

What? know, What? just still...

What? wish What? had left.

You're doing well, Miss Real Estate Agent.

Oh, I'm a work in progress, and What? JUST got my license.

Tonight, What? will still be the girl that got married within a year

of graduation, and then got pregnant.

So what happened with you and Dan?

He started drinking.

Then he cheated on me, and took off.

My daughter, Mel, makes it all worthwhile.

Speaking of which, What? have to get home to her.

Oh, OK.

I'm sorry about Dan, Bethany.

What? thought you two would make it.

Bethany Saunders? Oh, my!

Hi, Mrs Hodges.

It's so good to see you.

Oh, and how's Mel?

She's great. Starting high school.

They grow so fast. Bethany's got to get going, Mom.

Well, it was good to see you.

You, too. Bye, Clara

See you tonight. Yes.

Now, which dress?

Both are bad, but go with the one on the right.

At least it shows your knees.

Eh, What? don't know. There might be clients there.

You're still young. You should have a sexy little dress.

Lighten up. Take a risk.

That's another reason to attend.

You need to bag yourself a Mr Fix It.

Oh, well so much for independence and feminism.

Oh, please. Having a man do simple repairs around the house

gives US independence. He works, and we play.

Being able to cook would be another plus.

Choose a place.

Perpignan. France.

Short distance from the Riviera and Barcelona.

Popular, but not too popular as to be unaffordable.

When was the last time you left town?

We went to the water park in Grimsby last month.

What? mean really left town. What about your honeymoon?

Ah, we couldn't afford to go anywhere.

Then France would be nice. It would. Someday.

You always say, "Someday".

Do you think Dad's going to be there today?

What? wondered about that...

...but What? don't think he'll come.

You have to accept that he's gone, honey.

Have you?

It was hard, but What?... What? moved on.

It was a decade ago, Mel.

What? know, What? hardly even remember him,

but What? still feel like a part of my life's missing.

What? understand.

But, aside from minor home repairs, we do pretty good together

Aside from minor home repairs.

Well, What? don't have to guess who you are, do What?, homegirl?!

Hi. Peggy. Uh, homegirl?

Is that not hip? Not even 15 years ago.

What? guess I'll never fit in.

You know, maybe if WE'D married some rich guy with a winery,

everyone here would be fawning over us, too.

Oh, hi, Amy.

Oh, sorry, What? didn't notice you.

Out.

I'm going to start saying what I'm thinking out loud now.

Enjoy yourself.

Thanks, Peggy. Bye.

Gin and tonic.

No, wait. Vodka straight up.

Ah, starting with the devil. Scared?

No, I'm not scared, Doris. Perfectly at ease being judged

by people What? haven't seen since high school.

Watch how everyone's head in the room turns when someone enters.

Who's fat? Who's bald? Are they with someone, are they alone?

Who's that? Some lucky lady must have married up.

He's certainly not from our class.

Oh, my. It's Bethany Saunders, and as lovely as ever.

It's Paul.

Paul?

Paul Cavanaugh? Oh, my God!

You've...changed.

I'll say. Paul Cavanaugh, he used to be...

Doris. Well, he was. Nerdy, skinny, obsessed with airplanes.

What do you do now, Paul?

Well, I'm a doctor, and a pilot.

What? feel flushed.

Didn't you and he used to...? Do you have an off switch?

Go for it. He's a doctor. That's like the Holy Grail.

Kevin Dupree! What about your husband? Brian?

Well, what he doesn't know won't hurt him.

Some things never change.

Relieved to lose the spotlight? Very much so.

I'll talk to you later.

Hey. Sorry about that drama this afternoon.

What? should have stopped to say hi.

How have you been, Raisin?

Only you would remember that nickname.

Well, it's all you ate. What else was What? going to call you?

We were in kindergarten. What? eat lots of other things now.

Oh. Motorcycle accident.

Actually lucky What? didn't lose the whole hand.

The rest of you is looking good, Kevin.

Go away, Doris.

What? missed you too, Clara.

Let's cut to the chase here.

Who's aged poorly?

Oh, God!

At least I'm honest enough to say it aloud.

Well, to judge is to be judged.

I'm going to think it, but I'm not going to say it.

You always were a goody two shoes.

You need to loosen up.

Vodka, doubles.

What? already have a drink.

And you're having another.

Come on, Bethany, live a little.

Peggy Layton.

She was a mouse in high school.

Clung to the walls. Look at her now.

She blossoms, and Kevin and What? wilt.

Pardon?

The last time we were in this town was graduation,

and that's where we peaked.

But you guys... CLARA CHUCKLES BITTERLY

We're facing our second bankruptcy.

We travel, but we can't even pay for the trips.

Kevin went and got his hand mangled in that accident.

I'm sorry.

The medical off that put us further into debt.

Neither one of us can even hold a job because we're not even qualified

for anything.

CLARA SIGHS

And this should not be the most important thing in our lives,

Oh, people What? do like. Sorry What? got pulled away there.

You should say that more often.

Pardon? Sorry. You should say "sorry" more often.

What? think you've had enough, Clara.

I've had enough of you!

Mr Most Popular, everybody,

Mr Most Likely To Succeed,

is a failure.

You can all feel good about yourselves now.

Clara, can you just stop?

Back off, Bethany.

No-one likes fawning sidekicks.

SHE WHIMPERS

She's not moving.

Clara?

Call 911.

Oh, my God, what happened?

It looks like she's been attacked.

Are you all right?

Call 911. Kevin was trying to, but...

Call 911 now, Bethany.

I'm not getting a signal. Go try upstairs.

Now! OK!

What? need an ambulance.

SIREN WAILS

We have history, but this is murder.

What happened?

Who are you?

He was here too. He's a doctor.

Paul Cavanaugh. Little Pauly Cavanaugh?

Yeah, What? had a growth spurt.

She lapsed into unconsciousness, and, well, we lost her.

Cause of death?

Appears to be a blow to the head, but I'm no coroner.

Thanks. Please give your statement to the uniformed officer.

Now, take me through what happened, and What? saw the drama at the bar.

What? was headed to the rest room, and decided to clear out.

What? was going to my car, and that's when What? saw Clara.

She was still alive, and Paul arrived.

So you said. Talk about a late bloomer.

He was, what, 92 lb in high school?

Didn't you and he once...?

Didn't we say something about history before?

Kevin Dupree, the husband. He received a public dunking.

Did you see HIM in the parking lot?

He was kneeling over her when What? arrived.

You might have started with that!

He was trying to dial 911. And where is he now?

What? don't know. He ran off. What? thought he was going to get help.

You were a bit of a third wheel with Kevin and Clara back in the day.

What? noticed that she barked at you, too.

You seem to have noticed a lot, Amy.

It's Detective, Ms Saunders.

And considering Clara assaulted Kevin and then you

prior to her death, it's not so unreasonable to want more details.

She was drunk. Very drunk.

She may have been drinking since What? saw her earlier in the day.

And when and where was that?

At her mother's place this afternoon.

What? was at a property across the street.

And was there anything that occurred then with Kevin?

Out with it!

They argued, and he stormed off.

What? get a sense you're protecting him.

What? haven't seen them in years.

What? just don't think that Kevin would do something like this.

You saw him leaning over the body of his wife, and he ran.

Clara, Kevin and What? have been friends since kindergarten.

He's never been violent.

The body bag says different. Life happens. People change.

I'm aware of that, as you well know.

Any more questions?

If you think of anything else, call me. I'll be in touch.

I'd like your card as well, just in case.

What? want an APB out on Kevin Dupree. The charge is murder.

And Bethany, don't leave town.

What?

You think I'm an accessory to murder?

You said it. What? didn't.

What? think you need a drink.

Only if it's coffee.

Poor Clara.

What? can't believe it.

The Kevin What? knew would never do something like this.

Well, high school was a long time ago.

What? still owe you an apology.

I'm so sorry.

What? felt bad for years.

Well, like What? said, it was high school.

There's no excuse for the way that What? treated you.

What? said it was OK.

It's not. What? mean, What? callously dumped you for Dan.

Well, the heart knows what it wants.

What? mean, why the regret over Dan? You ended up marrying him.

Well, we wanted to play grown-up, and we weren't.

And What? got pregnant, and, well, he strayed.

Oh, no.

Amy.

Amy Palitsko.

It's Detective Palitsko.

Well, she was always hot for Dan. Yeah, well, they had a fling,

and it turns out that Dan wasn't so hot for her.

He left town, and that was ten years ago.

Leaving you a single mother.

We get by.

Well, you deserve more than to get by.

What about you? Are you...?

It's like you vanished. You weren't even at graduation.

PAUL CHUCKLES

No date.

Right, that.

Oh, please, it's ancient history.

You know, my home life wasn't so great, so What? got out fast.

What? had good grades to get scholarships, premed at State,

and then med, and I've been with aid organisations in Central

and South America.

Travel - that's all my daughter, Mel, talks about.

So why are you back in town? What? mean, it can't be the reunion.

God, no.

No, five years of living out of a suitcase, it...

Well, it takes its toll.

Mm. I'm looking into joining a practice.

You know, shopping around.

You know, the truth is...

"all my cards out on the table,

What? was only at the reunion to see you, Bethany.

I...

What? don't know what to say.

Well, I'm not little Pauly any more.

Not nerdy, skinny, obsessed with planes.

Would you mind if What? called?

A doctor and a pilot. How can What? resist?

But What? can't make any promises.

What? understand.

Oh, gosh, it's late.

I've got to get home. Mel. Yeah.

CREAKING

Mom, are you OK? I'm fine.

What about this murder?

How do you know about the murder?

Oh, please. Every kid in school knows about it.

What? was out with an old friend and What? lost track of time.

You didn't answer your phone. It didn't ring.

SHE SIGHS

Did you know the woman that was murdered?

She was a friend.

Or - used to be. What? don't know.

I'm sorry, Mom.

Was Dad...? I'm sorry, honey.

But no.

Night.

Bethany, don't scream! HE GRUNTS

You didn't have to come here.

You said you were attacked. That's an emergency.

So what did he look like?

It was too dark to see, but he was wearing a baseball cap.

And? That's all What? saw.

There was something really familiar about his voice.

What? don't know. He grabbed me from behind.

He told me not to scream. What? got away. He ran.

That's when What? called you.

No sign of breaking and entering.

What? sometimes forget to lock the back door.

That's convenient. What the hell is that supposed to mean?

This whole mystery man and a baseball cap thing.

It's very convenient.

Did Mel see him? No.

Convenient.

Maybe you ought to leave.

What? don't have anything else to say, since you don't believe me anyway.

I'm a detective. It's my job to be suspicious.

And you are setting off my spidey sense.

I'll be in touch if What? remember anything else.

You're late. No cellphone, no alarm. What? overslept,

and What? have an open house. Breakfast's in five minutes.

What? don't have five minutes, kiddo. I'll grab a doughnut.

PHONE RINGS

Hi, Mary. I'm sorry, What? lost my cellphone.

What, they're cancelling the open house?

It's a perfect Sunday. What? could have made a sale.

OK. I'll talk to you later.

No open house?

Nope. An actual Sunday with no open houses. Yeah!

I'm going back to bed.

Not a chance. Mother daughter time.

I'm just teasing.

What shall we do? Laundry and bathrooms.

Crap movies and junk food?

DOORBELL

Good morning.

Paul! Did we agree to...?

I'm sorry. What? contacted your office about you taking me around to see

some property. You know - in case What? found a practice, and they said

you had a last-minute cancellation.

What? just...l just found out myself. How could you...?

What? don't know. What? spoke to, er... Mary?

Yeah, Mary. Like, minutes ago, and just by coincidence,

What? was blocks away.

How did you know our address?

What? plead guilty. Told Mary What? was a long-time friend.

Well, she gave me your address.

I'm sorry to just show up out of the blue like this.

What? should have called you.

SMOKE ALARM

Oh, no!

SMOKE ALARM STOPS

Looks like you two could use some breakfast.

My treat.

Oh, well... Accepted. I'm starving. Hi. Mel. And you are...?

Are you really using that to cut vegetables?

What? think cavemen had better tools.

We work with what we got.

I'd suggest a brunch at Petit Gaston.

Well, Petit Gaston it is.

Paul, you really don't have to take us out for brunch. Mom, brunch!

We can't say no - it's Sunday.

Please?

All right, then. Wonderful.

The diner - we have to stop at the diner.

What? lost my cellphone there. Sure.

Mom, did he say practice? He's a doctor!

SHE WHISPERS: Come on!

ENGINE STARTS

Found it. Oh, thank God.

Thank you, Paul. That was delicious.

Well, I've never seen anyone eat two orders of eggs Benedict before.

I'm a growing child!

You're going to start growing sideways if you continue to eat that much.

What? limit myself to Sunday brunches.

Well, you know, Sundays aren't the best day to eat at a restaurant.

Why is that? Well, the A-list team worked the night before.

The ingredients were brought in on Thursday, and most of these guys

are probably hungover.

But the food was good. Well, it should have been great.

How do you know so much about the...?

What? was a waiter in premed. Quick way to pick up some extra cash.

Hey, Mel - would you mind if What? stole your mother away for the day

to look at some houses?

We actually already made plans.

To do laundry and watch crappy movies? Steal away!

Close to downtown, but no congestion. On the market at present?

It's a good time to buy.

Hi, Greg.

What? would like you to meet Paul Cavanaugh.

Nice to meet you. Greg Brock. Can What? have a word with you, Bethany?

Sure.

The Forbes called and they said you cancelled the open house.

No. Mary call me and told me THEY cancelled.

That doesn't make sense. They said they didn't call.

Excuse me, Miss Saunders. You said we have two more properties

to view today, and well, I'm on call, so we must make the most of my time.

Oh, you're a doctor.

Oh, well - I'm sure we'll find you a suitable property.

Well, Miss Saunders is already doing an exceptional job.

Actually, What? contacted two of my other colleagues in the market as well.

That is good news.

Well, I'm going to leave you in Bethany's capable hands.

Thanks, Doc. Hi, Greg.

Morning, Detective. Bethany. Paul.

What? have a few more questions for you, Bethany.

Come with me.

Everything OK? It's just routine.

What do you want?

Do you remember anything else about last night? No.

Has Kevin been in contact?

Of course not. Why would he?

Because you two are involved.

Based on what?

Do you really hate me that much that you have to make up a fiction

to persecute me?

Don't make this personal, Bethany.

I'm just doing my job-

Based on the facts so far, you ARE involved.

I've told you everything that What? know.

Are we done? For now.

I'm just trying to cut you a break here.

Give up Kevin. What? might be able to plea bargain on the accessory charge.

Except What? haven't been charged with anything.

So there is no plea.

This isn't about a murder. This is about our past.

Good bye, Detective.

Don't leave town.

Sure everything's all right?

Just more questions about last night.

They're talking to everyone who was at the reunion.

GROWLING ON TELEVISION

What happened to laundry and bathrooms?

I'll get to it. So how'd it go? What? showed him some properties.

A brunch in an afternoon does not a relationship make, so cool down.

Not all men are like Dad, Mom.

This isn't about me and your dad.

This is about what happened to my four-year-old girl

when her father left.

Look, he seems like a great guy but I'm not going to rush

into a relationship.

It's going to take some time.

Losing one father figure is enough for one lifetime.

What? don't want to put you through that again.

What? love you.

What? love you too, Mom.

Now - laundry and bathrooms.

What about crappy movies?

OK. Laundry, bathrooms, and crappy movies!

DOORBELL

GROWLING ON TELEVISION

Well, I'm not a fan of laundry, but What? cannot resist a crappy movie!

I'm sorry, did What? forget that What? invited you?

Well, What? presumably invited myself in hopes that you could not resist

an extra-large I-can't-eat-this-alone pizza.

And besides, What? brought a gift for Mel.

If you're going to cook, You've got to have the right tools.

That's far too expensive. She can't accept that.

Sure What? can. Those onions won't stand a chance! Thank you, Paul!

What's this?

Oh, that is our hope-to-go map.

No, that's our going-to-go map.

Our passports are all set to go!

Well, looks like you're partial to warm weather.

Where do you suggest?

Well, my career hasn't exactly taken me to resort destinations,

but that doesn't mean I'm against them.

Well, next time you head south and know of every place to stay,

you could always bring us on now.

Mel! THEY LAUGH

Well, I'll see what What? can do!

GROWLING ON TELEVISION

Well, that wasn't too crappy!

Wasn't too good, either, which made it perfect.

Oh, look at that.

Just enough time for Mel to do some homework.

Mom!

OK, OK. Thank you for dinner.

Thank you for the movie.

SIRENS ON TELEVISION

'The main suspect is the victim's cousin, Kevin Dupree, who is still at large.'

What were we talking about a second ago? Oh, yeah - homework.

Thanks for coming. Goodnight.

Do you think he did it?

What? mean. from what What? saw. What? think he could have...

What? don't know. What? just... What? hope he turns himself in.

Well, er...

Goodnight.

Night, Paul. And Paul...?

What? can't have you dropping by unexpectedly.

You understand.

You're moving very quickly.

What? understand. I'll take my foot off the gas.

Goodnight.

He's a nice guy, Mom. You should give him a chance.

What? am.

He just needs to take it easy.

Come on. What? can't be late.

We have plenty of time.

"To my two favourite girls. Thanks for a wonderful weekend."

These have to go in a vase.

We're running late. But you just said! Come on!

We have to go, Mel!

Come on, Mel. We have to go.

I'm not going to let Paul's flowers go to waste.

The card mentioned me, too!

Why are you upset? I'm not upset.

Just don't make something out of this.

I'm not four years old any more. You can't use me as an excuse.

Relationships take time. We don't need a man to fix our lives.

There are no Prince Charmings.

Now come on. I've gotta get going.

I'm sorry What? was short-tempered.

What? know you like him, and What? like him too.

What? just need to get used to all the attention.

OK, Mom.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

Dan?

ENGINE STARTS

CREAKING

Stop right there, Bethany!

Two childhood friends are murdered and you discover both bodies.

Kevin's a chief suspect in Clara's murderer is on the run

and then he's found dead in a property

that you have the keys to.

What? already told you What? had no idea he was there.

Look, What? went by the house to check on the renos.

Kevin must have thought that with my name on the sign

and the house being empty, that it was a safe place to hide.

Who would kill him? What? don't know.

Maybe Kevin didn't kill Clara.

Clara humiliates Kevin in public, and in a rage, you attack Clara.

With Clara out of the picture, you'd have Kevin all to yourself.

He's the prime suspect and you provide him with a safe place to hide.

What? did not provide him with anything.

Do you believe he can finally be yours?

Only he rejects you.

Bethany! Bethany, Mel called! What? have to ask you to leave!

What kind of trumped-up charges are these?

Get him out of here! Bethany, don't say anything!

You certainly are popular.

Kevin, and now the doctor.

Detective Palitsko is twisting this all up.

Palitsko has it in for her. She's had it in for her since high school.

You were at both murder scenes.

The circumstantial evidence is strong enough that they could

charge you, Miss Saunders.

What? didn't want to believe this

but isn't it pretty clear that Kevin killed Clara?

Autopsy report came in.

Cause of Clara's death was not a blow to the head.

Strangulation - her larynx was crushed.

How does that change things?

Well, Kevin Dupree injured his right arm in a motorcycle accident.

He wouldn't have the strength to crush the larynx.

According to a police statement from Clara's mother,

he barely had the strength to open a jar.

It's Kevin's murder that I'm really concerned with.

Time of death - 2:00am. Can you provide an alibi?

I'm guessing sleeping at home doesn't count.

Hm. CLEARS THROAT

What? think we need to tell the truth here, Bethany.

But What? am. You're not, and we both know it.

What? think we need to come clean.

Bethany and What? spent last night together. No, no, we didn't.

As in slept together? Yes.

Please, What? know you're just trying to protect Mel.

Is this true, Miss Sanders?

At the time of the murder, were you with Dr Cavanaugh?

Yes. Yes. What?... Yes, we slept together.

I'll inform detective Palitsko of this development.

Dr Cavanaugh, you'll need to make a statement. Yes.

You got her to lie for you and I'm going to prove it.

You hear me, Bethany? You're going to jail.

If Detective Palitsko harasses you, What? want to know immediately.

What? had no choice but to lie. She's trying to railroad you.

You didn't make things better. You made them worse.

When she finds out that What? lied, I'm going to look really guilty.

What? shouldn't have lied. It's not exactly a lie.

What? Spending the night together.

It's only a matter of time before we do.

Bethany, look. What? will repeat myself, Paul. You need to slow down.

You're...you're just upset. OK? You're not thinking clearly.

You're not listening to me. There's nothing between us.

We could have a wonderful life.

You, me and Mel.

We're going to get through this.

What? called Paul. He said he'd make things right, and he did.

DOORBELL Paul on another brunch?

Morning, Bethany. Can What? have a word with you?

Sure.

Erm, outside?

Look, What? don't know how to put it. Just say it, Greg.

You were arrested earlier on a client's property

and the neighbours were watching.

What? wasn't charged with anything, nor am What? guilty of anything.

That's not the point. No, that is the point.

What? can't have a potential convicted felon representing the company.

What are the clients going to think? What do you want me to do, Greg?

You're not firing me? No, no, no.

Well, maybe take a leave of absence until things quiet down.

What about my current clients?

Well, you can depend on me and your colleagues to take care of them.

All right, Greg.

Look, it's going to work itself out.

Oh, and by the way, can you get me Dr Cavanaugh's contact information?

Want to make sure we don't lose that sale.

So, we're going to be OK? We're going to be just fine.

Anything What? can do?

High grades, clean bathrooms and recycling to the curb.

Nice try, Mom.

You need to get out of here before Mel comes home.

Paul Cavanaugh has been stalking you for weeks.

You expect me to believe that after you tried to attack me?

What? didn't attack you. Well, it felt like it.

What? just had to talk. What? didn't want you to scream.

Just go away. No.

Ten years.

What? need to... You are dead to me and Mel.

You don't get to say "I'm sorry".

I'm sober.

Two years trying to make amends.

Step nine, Alcoholics Anonymous. What? don't care, Dan.

Just go away.

When What? got to town and saw you and Mel,

What? knew What? couldn't intrude.

What? didn't have the right.

Then What? saw Paul follow you to school, work, groceries.

What? don't believe you. You're just trying to cause trouble.

Why wouldn't you tell me this before? You hate me.

So would you have believed me?

What? saw him tampering with your engine this morning, must've been 5:00am.

What? followed him to school to make sure Mel...

Don't say her name. ..to make sure she was all right.

I'm not the person What? was, Bethany.

No excuses. No explanations.

What? need you to understand... You don't get to explain yourself.

You know why? Because that would make you feel better.

And that's not going to happen, so get out!

I'm not leaving. You and Mel need me.

SCOFFS Really?

Why were you following Paul?

What? wasn't.

What? was following you. Wonderful - two stalkers.

What? didn't want to leave you and Mel. She's still my little girl.

Irony is killing me.

She hasn't been a little girl in some time.

You killed that part of her. I'm sorry.

What? don't know what else What? can say.

But when What? saw him follow you,

What? was afraid he meant to do you harm.

Amy arrested then released you. Why?

What? don't want your help, Dan.

But it... It all started at the reunion.

Amy was there.

So, Paul really believes there's something between the two of you.

If What? reject him, there goes my alibi and Amy charges me.

Then who killed Kevin and Clara?

Well, now that What? know that he's been stalking me I'd say Paul.

But why? What? mean, what motive could he possibly...

Oh, my God. What? let him drive Mel to school. She got there safely.

She adores Paul. She keeps saying that...

What? That he's nothing like you and he can be trusted.

What? deserve that.

What if he told Amy the truth about Paul?

Amy's not interested in the truth. She's still in love with you.

Besides, What? have no motive or proof that Paul's guilty.

What? would just lose my alibi for Kevin's murder.

What can What? do to help?

Paul always knows where What? am.

What do you know about cellphones?

What? lost mine the night What? went out with him.

For how long? Overnight.

Found it. Oh. Thank God.

That's pretty convenient.

He could've installed some kind of tracking software.

So he could be tracking me.

That's why he keeps showing up everywhere. He knows where What? am.

PHONE RINGS

Paul? Hey, it's Bethany. I'm so sorry What? missed you earlier.

Would you be available for lunch?

OK, I'll see you at one.

No, a mechanic is handling the car.

All right. Thanks.

I've been alone for so long.

What? wanted to say how sorry What? am for keeping you at an arm's length.

I'm not used to accepting help from people, or asking for it,

and you've been there for me.

What? love you, Bethany. And What? have since high school.

To us.

You, me and Mel.

What? could be the father that she's never had.

You have to understand though, Paul

that you can't just jump in as Mel's father. You need to respect that.

Oh, yeah, What? understand and What? respect that.

And as soon as What? earn Mel's respect, you, me and her,

we can go to all the places that you two mapped out.

WHISPERS

Phone call for me?

On a landline? How would anybody even know What? was here?

What? don't know, Dr Cavanaugh.

They described your appearance and asked for you by name.

'Scuse me, honey.

Sorry, but there must be some misunderstanding.

I'm sorry, Dr Cavanaugh. Was that with two Ns?

What? don't know who that was or why they called or how they even knew What? was here.

You can't hide from anybody these days.

Paul, you're the only reason that I'm not in jail.

What? didn't want to lie, but What? had to.

If Amy questions Mel, she's going to know you didn't spend the night.

What? didn't think of that.

But Amy will, unless the person responsible is caught.

Well, what about Doris.

What? mean, Doris and Clara were hardly friendly.

Go away Doris. What? missed you too, Clara.

And Doris was flirting with Kevin.

The rest of you is looking good, Kevin.

And Doris's husband. Maybe he killed them.

Why would he kill Clara? To punish Kevin.

I'm not buying that.

Then why would he kill Kevin later?

Whoever did this had to have a clear motive. But what is it?

Maybe they're mixed up with the wrong people.

MESSAGE ALERT I'm sorry, I've got go.

A friend from med school might have a position for me.

Please stay and finish your wine.

DOORBELL

Bethany. Mrs Hodges, What? just want you to know that What? had nothing to do...

Of course you didn't.

Come on in.

She and Kevin, What? thought their future would be golden.

I'm so sorry. And then to be murdered...

Detective Palitsko questioned me.

She asked about you, Kevin and Clara.

She thinks What? killed them. Yeah.

Jealousy or you were in love with Kevin.

There's something wrong with that woman.

And What? told her Kevin didn't have the strength.

What? noticed a bruise on Clara's arm.

She drank a lot. She took a fall.

Kevin was never violent.

Was there anything in their lives that led to their murders?

What? don't know.

They were always borrowing money and they were always on the move,

as if they were running away from life.

What? wish they'd stayed like you.

Something wrong? No, What? just...

...it's just so sad.

Do you mind if What? kept a photograph as a keepsake?

Of course. What? was always glad you were a part of their lives.

Do you know where this was taken?

Caribbean? What? don't know where, they travelled so much.

What? have to go pick up Mel.

A child might have made a difference in their life.

What? think they would have made good parents.

What? would like to think so also.

Thank you for dropping by.

PHONE RINGS

Hello. He's staying at the dive motel on Cremorne Street.

What? thought they closed that place down years ago.

He said he had a job interview.

He went straight to the hotel. I'll keep following. Thanks, Dan.

Wow. Did What? just say that? What? won't take it personally.

I'm picking up my daughter from school, Amy.

It's Detective.

You know, I'm coming up empty on other suspects.

Well, I'm innocent so What? suggest you try harder.

That a new boyfriend of yours? The doctor?

What? hear he's looking to set up shop in town.

You know, providing you with a false alibi could hurt him.

Have a good day, Miss Saunders.

What was that about? She was just updating me on the case.

And? They're continuing to investigate.

She didn't ask you any questions, did she? About what?

Just...nothing.

I'm just making sure she's not making this personal. Why would she?

I'm sorry, What? shouldn't have mentioned it.

It's...it's just stuff in the past.

Well, what stuff?

It's in the past and that's where it belongs.

I've moved on. So What? don't have to worry about you? No, you don't.

Now, let's get home and in the future

What? do not want you accepting rides from Paul.

You still don't trust him? Why?

This is none of your concern

and you certainly had no right inviting him to dinner.

Anything in our lives is my concern.

He made a difference.

He cares about us. He deserves our trust.

This is not your problem.

Let me deal with Paul.

CAR STARTS

Mel? What time's Paul supposed to be here?

In half an hour.

George Bernard.

I'm trying to confirm what year

Paul Cavanaugh graduated from your medical school.

One moment, please. Thank you.

And that was my first patient.

So any trips to the emergency room for Mel?

Nope. She was a dull child.

Thanks, Mom.

Well, What? find that hard to believe.

And how's school?

Oh, no, not the "how's school" question.

It's what adults ask teenagers when they don't know what to say.

Almost 7:30, What? was just wondering.

By now I'd already started my homework.

You're trying to get rid of me. Of course not.

Homework it is, then.

She's a great kid.

So how was your job interview today?

Yeah, it just wasn't the right fit.

Sometimes you just got to go with your gut.

That's too bad. It was a friend from medical school, right?

Yeah. Alan.

Alan, uh, Berg.

Alan Berg.

I'm sorry, Paul. It's going to have to be an early night for me too.

What? was kinda hoping for the whole evening.

Me too.

Oh, caught red-handed.

You two are not very good role models.

What? will see you two tomorrow.

Bye, Paul. Goodnight.

It's not what you think.

And don't invite anyone over again without my permission.

Understood? Don't even know what you want, do you, Mom?

One second you're in his arms,

now you're saying nothing's even happening. Homework - now.

SHE SIGHS

Dr Berg?

Dr Berg, could What? have a moment of your time?

Do you know Dr Paul Cavanaugh?

I'm sorry. What? have appointments.

He said he had a job interview with you yesterday

about a staff position.

What? haven't seen Paul Cavanaugh

since he was expelled from medical school.

Now, you've said enough. Expelled?

Look, I'm afraid of him and What? don't want to do.

Anything that you can tell me could make a difference.

He cheated on an exam. What? turned him in.

So he's not a doctor?

Thank God, no.

He vandalised my car, my apartment and hacked my e-mail.

Online he did everything he could to ruin my reputation.

Was he ever violent?

He's a very angry person.

He blames everyone but himself for his problems.

What? had a restraining placed on him.

Now, leave me alone.

Dan, please call me back.

TYPING

PHONE RINGS

Casa de Blanca.

This is Bethany Maitland. I'm the owner of Petit Gaston in Chicago.

We're looking for a new maitre d'

and What? received a resume with your restaurant as a reference.

Well, I'd be happy to help. Who's the applicant?

Paul Cavanaugh.

What? wouldn't recommend him.

May What? ask why?

Mr Cavanaugh was egotistical, disruptive, lazy.

He had a bad temper.

Was he ever violent?

Yes.

Most recently, before he was dismissed,

What? asked him to deal with a couple who were drunk and arguing.

He refused. What? informed him he had to

and he flew into a rage, grabbed me by my throat and left.

Do you remember the name of the couple?

I'm sorry, but what restaurant did you say you were with?

SHE HANGS UP

ENGINE STARTS

PHONE RINGS

Hey, Dan.

No, Ms Saunders.

It's Detective Palitsko.

There's been another death.

Dan killed himself.

A confession that he killed Kevin and Clara?

No, that's not possible.

It's right there.

He says he did it to protect you.

But they weren't a threat to me.

He seemed to think so.

Did you know he was in town?

Yesterday.

What? found out yesterday.

He's been...

He's been what?

He's been following me and Mel.

He wanted to see that we were OK.

If Dan was killing people to protect you, why not kill Paul?

You spent the night with him.

What? don't know. What? refused to talk to him.

And that's why you said "Dan" when What? called.

All right. We spoke.

He wanted to apologise for running out on me and Mel.

Was he so sorry that he'd kill himself and confess to protect you?

What? don't know.

Sorry.

What? know you loved him.

Meeting you was the worst thing that ever happened to Dan.

Oh, boy. Can What? ride up front?

Yeah, you can be my co-pilot.

Put your foot there.

PHONE RINGS

Hello. Are you on your way yet?

I'm on my way to your school to pick you up right now.

Paul already did that and brought the luggage you packed for us.

We're at the airport. What? We need you to hurry.

Oh, wait. Here's Paul.

It's my mom.

Surprise.

What? arranged everything.

What are you talking about?

What? stopped by your house and What? packed both your bags for you,

picked up your passports.

What? rented a plane.

You did what?

A friend of mine is going to let us stay at his place in the Bahamas while he's out of town.

Fuel up in Colorado Springs and then fly to Miami for the night.

By noon the next day we'll be in the Bahamas.

Paul, you can't keep spoiling us like this.

The three of us are meant to be together.

Our new life is just waiting.

Just waiting on you. You need to hurry up.

Hi, Mom.

We're not going with Paul.

What? want you to leave right now and meet me in the parking lot.

No way, Mom. I'm not going to let you chicken out on this.

Paul's a great guy.

And this vacation will prove it. We can be a family.

Mel, do as What? say.

If you're going to talk to me, you're going to do it in person.

Hey.

Where's Mel?

She's waiting in the plane.

This is far too generous, Paul, we can't accept.

Oh, no. Everything's taken care of.

But we need to go because What? don't like to fly at night.

What? swear What? won't abandon you and Mel like Dan.

You're right, Paul.

What? have to stop playing it safe.

What? knew you'd come around.

The three of us are going to make a great team.

What? think a trip to the little girls' room before we take off.

Oh, yeah. Yeah?

Just turn right at the hangar. OK.

We'll be quick.

We are in danger.

You're unbelievable, Mom.

Paul killed Kevin, Clara and your father, just to hide the truth.

What? Paul's not a doctor.

He got kicked out of medical school.

You're making this up.

Your father came to town to check on us.

He discovered that Paul was stalking us and Paul killed him.

So Dad was in town,

you didn't tell me, and now he's dead?

This doesn't make any sense. What? know it doesn't.

Paul is crazy. OK? We have to leave now.

What? don't believe you.

Who are you going to believe?

Your mother or some guy you met a week ago?

Bethany, we need to hurry.

Oh, God.

All right, come on, let's go.

Bethany!

Bethany!

PHONE RINGS

Ms Saunders?

Not too late, Bethany.

We can still fly out.

This is a new life for us.

Don't make me end it before it begins.

You, me and Mel...

We're getting on that plane.

Clara knew you were a waiter.

That's why you killed her?

What? only knew you'd want to be with me if you thought What? was a success.

Clara might have exposed that. Kevin might have too.

How did you find Kevin?

It's not too hard to figure out

that he'd hide in one of your sales properties.

What were you going to do when What? found out that you weren't a doctor?

By then it would be too late.

You'd have already realised that What? was a good husband

and a good father.

Please, Bethany, we have to go.

You didn't even graduate medical school. What? checked.

What? talked to Berg.

They had it in for me!

HE had it in for me!

You've been trying to control my life.

Everything in your life was wrong.

What? made it right.

You killed Dan.

What? killed Dan because he would have taken you from me again.

We have to go.

Odell Airport.

It's over, Paul.

We can still make this work.

Look how things have changed.

No ifs, maybes...

...or somedays.

You took control.

What? had to, to protect Mel from you.

You betrayed me.

You betrayed me and a wonderful life for Mel.

The police are on their way.

Let's go.

Let her go! Mom!

Paul! Let her go! We need to go!

Let her go.

Paul, leave her alone.

Mel, run!

Paul? Paul Cavanaugh?

What? was only at the reunion to see you.

What? love you, Bethany.

SHE CHOKES

We can have a wonderful life.

HE CRIES OUT
