Original subtitles

- Ella!

Ella?

Matas!

Matas, where is she?

- I don't know, sir.

- What the hell's going on?

Ella?

Ella!

Did you find her?

Get outta the way.

Are you down here?

Ella?

Ella I'm not playing games.

Ella?

Ella!

Ella!

Ella!

Mika, you've never had your palm read?

- And then she said to me,

I'm going to find romance overseas.

She didn't elaborate,

but I pray she's talking about my trip to Italy in October.

- Yeah! - Oh my gosh.

Ciao Bella.

Oh my goodness.

- I see trouble with this man you're about to marry.

- What kind of trouble?

- I see water, dark water.

There's evil in him.

Many faces.

That means he can be very duplicitous.

Most of the faces are not clear.

The eyes are missing.

- What does that mean?

- The eyes are the window to the soul.

And when they are missing

it means the person does not allow anyone to see in.

- Can you see anything specific?

- Look here, your lifeline, it's short.

I see your death connected to this man.

I'm sorry.

I would never reveal such information

if I wasn't being told it could save you.

I am so excited for the rest of your party.

Well that was fun.

- That was, entirely disturbing.

I don't know what that was.

- Are you sure you didn't set me up?

- Oh my god Ella, no.

You know how I feel about Tolan,

but I had nothing to do with that.

- Ella.

What is it?

- An amulet to protect you.

Wear it at all times. - Come on girls,

let's go. - Hey!

The limo's waiting.

I have two shots in here with your name on 'em girls.

Whoo! Shots!

You're holding up the party.

Let's go.

Bye you guys.

You're gonna be the most beautiful bride.

Bye honey.

Goodnight Sis, I love ya.

Night Ella, that was so much fun.

- What's that?

- Oh it's a gift from Lydia.

- You're sister's known you the longest,

she still doesn't get your style, does she?

- I suppose not.

- How was the party?

- It was fun.

We had a great time.

- What did you do?

- We had dinner,

then we went to a few different bars for drinks.

Mika got us a limo so no one had to drive.

- Well that was thoughtful.

You didn't go anywhere else?

- Oh yeah, we went to this fortune teller place.

Everyone had their palms read.

It was Lydia's idea, it was silly.

- Well don't keep me in suspense.

What was your fortune?

- She said I was gonna live happily ever after.

Hey, hey, hey.

Let's go upstairs.

- Okay, all done.

Now Dad and I are gonna go to Aunt Ella's wedding.

So you're gonna spend the day with Jeremy, okay?

- Okay Mom.

- 'Kay, you have your backpack and Dad'll walk you over.

- What am I doing?

- Walking Josh next door to Jeremy's.

- Got it.

Let's go, bud.

- I'm ready so we can go whenever you're done.

- Sounds good.

- Bye.

I love you, have fun.

- No kiss for me.

Hey, the guests are here in an hour.

Is your station ready?

- Hey. - Hi.

- How's it going out there?

- It's getting busy.

- Yeah?

It's almost time.

- Yeah, somehow this isn't

quite how I pictured the day going.

- It's fine.

Let's get this wedding started.

Please, don't do this.

We can call off the whole thing right now.

- You know I can't do that.

- One text and Harrison'll come around back with a car.

- And embarrass Tolan like that?

Do you realize what he would do?

- I am afraid for you, Ella.

- Well don't be.

I have found a way to deal with him

and things have gotten better.

This is the best way for me.

- As your sister, I have to say this,

otherwise I will never forgive myself.

- So dramatic.

What is it?

- He's a monster!

And I can't stand by and let you make this terrible mistake.

- Listen to me.

This is what I want.

This is my life and we are going through with this wedding.

- I know what you've been through.

Please Ella, please don't do this.

- I hear ya Sis.

But I know what I'm doing.

And some day, you'll see that I'm right.

Besides, what could go wrong?

I've got Madame Diedre's amulet.

- Oh great.

Yeah well that fixes everything.

- I love you.

- I love you too.

Whoo, love you guys.

- Hey! - Congratulations.

Yay, the happy couple. - Congratulations.

- Thanks Harrison. - Um hmm.

- Congratulations you guys. - Glad you could make it.

- She looks beautiful.

Bye you two.

Oh, have an amazing time in Barbados.

- It's okay.

She said to trust her, right?

- Yeah.

I just wanna go home and see Josh.

- I'd love it.

Let's pick him up and do something fun.

- Okay.

Honey, where's my coffee cup?

Nevermind, I got it.

- Dad's gonna pick you up from the babysitter's today, okay?

Okay.

- What time?

5:00, remember?

- Yeah. - I have a late meeting

and Missy'll be here at 5:30 for piano practice.

Cool.

- I'll grab dinner on my way home.

- Oh hey, no tofu, goat cheese or kale.

Okay?

- Aw.

But it's so good for you.

Come on, bud.

- How about mac & cheese, Mom?

- Ooh yeah.

- Maybe.

- Oh hey, did you hear from your sister?

Nope, nothing yet.

Come on buddy.

Alright, bye.

Don't forget to pick up Josh.

- Love you. - Love you.

Of course I can do that, Barbara.

I'm here to help.

No problem.

I'll get the MLS listings out to you today.

There's several on here I think you'll really like.

Alright, thanks.

You have zero new texts.

Hey Sis, I'm missing you.

Drop a line when you can.

Call Mika.

Calling Mika.

Oh one second guys, I need to take this call.

- Hey Lydia, what's up?

- Hey, have you heard from Ella since the wedding?

- No, but isn't she in the Caribbean on a yacht

on her honeymoon?

- Well yeah, but I thought she would text us

and check in and let us know how it's going

or post pictures or something.

- She won't have cell service.

I'm sure they're doing fine.

I've been watching the weather,

there's no tropical storms or anything.

- Yeah.

No need to worry.

- If she texts me, I'll let you know.

But I'm sure she'll be in touch soon.

- Okay, thanks.

I'll talk to you later.

- Bye.

- Bye.

No need to worry.

- I don't know what to tell ya Lydia,

maybe she's not enjoying herself.

And she has nothing to share.

- Well still, you'd think she would

at least check in with me.

Even if things are bad, we have a code.

- A code?

- Yeah, a code.

We used to talk about our parents

without them knowing about it.

- Wouldn't it be kinda obvious

if she texts you back in code?

- No.

No it's really clever.

So you disregard the first and last sentence.

And everything else

you combine the first first letter of each word.

Watch.

See?

- Hey babe, how's everything?

Loving paradise?

Will call later.

- Okay, disregard the first and last sentence.

So then How's.

- H.

- Everything. - E.

- Loving. - L-P.

- Paradise, see?

Help.

- You came up with this as kids?

- Well Ella did.

We used it all throughout middle and high school.

- I'm sure she's fine.

I mean she told you that this is what she wanted

and she knows what she's doing.

Right?

- I know, I just wish she would.

Who is it?

- It's Tolan.

Hello?

- Lydia.

Yes, I'm here.

- It's Tolan.

- Tolan, what, what's wrong?

What's going on?

- Something happened to Ella.

We think she fell off the boat.

- What?

She went up to the deck to get some air.

She didn't come back.

15 minutes later I went up to look for her.

She wasn't anywhere.

The Barbados Coast Guard is out there now looking for her.

It's just, it's just so dark.

- Oh my god.

- Tolan, it's Harrison.

Where are you now?

- I'm at the hotel giving the police a statement.

Listen to me Harrison,

Ella can swim.

The water's warm.

We can still find her.

- He did it, you know that he did this.

- Tolan, we'll be down on the first flight in the morning.

Where are you, what city?

- Playa Viento Hotel.

St. James Parish.

- We'll contact you when we arrive.

- If he did anything to her, I swear to god.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello.

I am so sorry.

My name is Izaiah Brathwaite

and I'm the lead Coast Guard.

Thank you for coming in.

- Thank you.

- Can you tell us more about the investigation?

- Of course.

We received a distress call at 10 o'clock last night

that a woman, your sister, was missing from the yacht.

We have six boats in the water, and one plane searching.

But we have not found her yet.

- What did her husband say?

- She felt bad so she went to the deck.

15 minutes passed and he went to check on her

but she was nowhere to be found.

We searched the yacht.

No blood, no sign of a fight.

She was gone.

- I'm sure he did this.

- Honey... - No.

In my heart I know it.

Tolan Ferrier is a controlling, abusive man.

And I never should've let her come down here with him!

- Ma'am, please, be calm.

We've turned this matter over to the police in District E.

And they will investigate further.

Accident or homicide, it's too soon to tell.

- Her phone.

Did you find a phone?

- We found no cell phone.

- If there was no cell service,

she wouldn't have had her phone with her.

It would've been left in the room, right?

- I don't know honey, people carry their phones with them.

Maybe she was taking pictures of something.

- Yeah, maybe.

It would've been pitch black out there though.

I can't imagine how scared she must've been

in that dark....

...Water.

I see water, dark water.

- Oh my god.

What?

- The palm reader, Madame Deidre,

the one that said Ella was in danger from Tolan.

She said that she saw dark water.

- She literally said dark water?

- Yes, literally.

I should tell the police this.

- Come on.

You really think the police here are gonna take you seriously

if you come to them with a story

you got from a palm reader?

I should've tried harder to stop her.

- Sis, I'm worried about you.

I'm worried that one night he's gonna get wasted

and I'm gonna get a call from the Emergency Room.

Or worse.

- Don't worry.

That is not gonna happen.

- I tried to intervene.

But she wouldn't listen.

- Why did she go through with the marriage?

- I don't know.

- You did everything you could.

- I should've done more.

We went to this fortune teller place.

Everyone had their palms read.

Now don't keep me in suspense.

What was your fortune?

She said I was gonna live happily ever after.

Happily ever after.

Happily ever after.

- Hello?

- Hey Lydia, it's Tolan.

We need to talk.

- Sure.

- In person.

Meet me at the Fireside Patio in 10 minutes.

- Harrison. - Hmm?

Get up.

- So Tolan, there's a few questions Lydia and I had

about what happened on the boat.

- Did you kill her?

- Lydia.

- Did you?

- Of course not!

What kinda crazy question is that?

I loved your sister.

- Why didn't she text me

when you guys landed at the airport?

- We were going through customs.

We were in a hurry.

I don't know maybe she forgot.

I can't believe that you think...

It's unconscionable.

I'd never do that to Ella.

- I've heard enough.

- Tolan, what happened out there?

- Coast Guard didn't tell you?

- We'd like to hear it from you.

Ella went to up to the deck to get some air.

I figured that she was seasick.

- Hey, I'm gonna go up and get some air.

- Okay.

- I musta dosed off.

Ella.

15 minutes later, she hadn't come back.

I searched all over the ship.

I found one of her sandals.

Ella?

And then the other...

Oh my god.

..In the water.

Captain!

Captain!

The boat stopped, circled back around.

Nothing.

That's when we called the Coast Guard.

Told 'em our coordinates.

- And you think she fell?

- Well she wouldn't have jumped.

I'm sorry.

I'm just as shocked as you are.

Yeah, she must have fallen.

- Over the guard rail?

- It's the only thing I can think.

Maybe she was seasick, maybe we hit a wave.

I don't know.

Sounds like there's a lot that you don't know.

And why did you call us down here

in the middle of the night?

- They called off the search at dusk.

- I know.

- I'm leaving the island.

Heading back to L.A.

My business needs me.

- Unbelievable.

If you didn't push my sister overboard

you'd be doing everything you could to find her.

- Listen to me.

Your sister and I had an emotional relationship at times

but I would never do something like that.

- I don't believe you.

And when we get back, I'm getting an investigator

to find out what happened.

And I will find out.

- You've gotta be kidding me.

The police have been investigating this for a week.

They think it was an accident.

Why would you make that kinda trouble for me?

- For all we know, they're on your payroll.

No.

Back in the U.S., I suggest you cooperate.

- Why wouldn't I?

- Let's go.

- I hope you're telling the truth.

Your money won't get you far in prison.

- I'm not going to prison.

I called Mika.

Are you sure that's a good idea?

She has plenty of connections.

City Hall, LAPD.

She can help us find out what really happened to Ella.

Tolan will know it's us.

- Is there any money involved?

Did he have an insurance policy on her?

- I don't know.

But Tolan Ferrier didn't need an insurance policy.

I mean he was worth millions on his own.

- Well Dwayne'll find out if anything isn't right.

- Thank you for getting your friend involved, Mika.

- It's always good to know a cop.

And I can snoop around the city attorney's office.

Privately, of course.

- I appreciate this.

Just please don't put your job at risk.

- I won't.

I'm careful.

- Ah, it's Harrison, right?

- Yeah hi Detective.

Thank you for coming by.

- Please, just call me Dwayne.

Mika. - Hi.

Thanks for coming.

- No worries.

It's good to see you Lydia.

- You too Dwayne.

Thank you for helping.

- Well I'll do what I can.

But it's already a complicated situation.

- I told him everything.

- The police are having a hard time finding anything.

But I know that we can dig up something on this guy.

- Now do you have any proof a crime was committed?

No.

Has he hit you since the last time?

Be honest.

- Lydia, I never said he did that.

- What does that mean?

So yes he has?

- A couple arguments, nothing serious,

nothing as bad as the night of the baseball game.

Couples argue, right?

- So he just hasn't gotten drunk enough yet

to do real damage?

- I thought there was abuse.

She kept it to herself.

But she never told me anything specific.

I tried to help and she told me to just...

...trust her.

- 'Kay.

Do you have access to her phone records maybe

or social media pages?

- No.

- Well I can look up both her and Tolan.

But if you think she was murdered,

the department won't investigate

until she's been declared dead in absentia.

- What do I need to do?

- Well unfortunately

you've gotta file a missing person's report at the station.

- Hey.

Not going to work today?

- I had a showing at 2:00 but I think I'll cancel it.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

I just, I need a few mental health days.

- Okay.

Well I will take Josh to school

and I will call you later just to check in.

- I love you.

- I love you.

Okay, goodbye.

Hi, can I help you?

- Hi, I need to report a missing person.

One moment please.

- Hey Mika.

- Did you know about your sister's life insurance policy?

- Life insurance?

No.

1.2 million dollars.

- Oh my god.

The man's already wealthy.

- It's not what you think.

She's listed as the owner

and she took out the policy three months ago.

- She took out the policy on herself?

That's right.

- Who's the beneficiary then?

- You are.

- Hello?

Mr. Ferrier?

Is this real?

- It all checks out.

Looks like she wanted to make sure you were taken care of.

- She must've thought that he was gonna kill her.

- Did she ever say that to you?

That she thought her life was in danger?

- No.

If anything that always came from me.

She was the one defending him.

Oh.

We should definitely call the store

and see if they have that one in stock for you to try on.

- I already have my dress.

- What?

We're going shopping Saturday.

You had me make the appointment.

- No, I know, but Tolan found one he liked.

And... - So Tolan

is picking out your wedding dress now?

- It's a gorgeous dress.

He wanted to get it for me as a gift.

- No.

He wanted to get it so he would have control

over one more thing.

Who's ever heard of the groom picking out the bride's dress?

- You can still go with me to the fitting.

- Is this really what you wanna sign up for?

For the rest of your life?

- It's gotten better.

That's not good enough.

She minimized it a lot.

- Well Dwayne spoke to the captain of the yacht

that Tolan chartered.

He said he didn't hear any arguing

before Tolan came to alert him

and nothing seemed suspicious.

- Well, she must've fallen overboard then.

- I'm not saying that.

- Look Mika, Tolan can buy anyone.

It would be nothing for him to give that guy 10 grand

to repeat the story to anyone that asked.

- Hey.

Hey don't touch that.

- Mr. Ferrier, whew, you scared me.

I, I didn't know you were here.

Did you and Ella get back early from your honeymoon?

- You haven't heard?

Of course you haven't heard.

Ella's,

Ella's missing.

- Missing?

- Just don't touch any of her things.

- No, no, no.

Of course not, sir.

So what else did they say?

- Just that they would request the report

from the police in Barbados.

- And you told them about Tolan?

- Of course, but I don't think they believed me.

It's just like Dwayne said.

They're not gonna investigate unless she's declared dead.

You know what else he told me?

Ella never called the police on him.

Not even once.

- Can I ask you something?

- Um hmm.

- You don't think Ella would've killed herself, do you?

- No.

No way.

She was murdered.

And I may not have enough evidence to prove it now,

but I'm not gonna let Tolan get away with this.

$840,000 is a great price.

Oh yeah, they should be happy with that counter offer.

Okay, I, alright.

Okay, thank you.

- Here's this for you.

- Oh, thank you.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

What is it?

- An amulet to protect you.

Wear it at all times.

- Tolan killed his new bride?

Trine Cloud Recovery will prove it.

So I looked up Trine Cloud Recovery.

It's a software program that allows you

to retrieve texts, photos and anything else

from a damaged phone.

- So her texts had backup?

- Yeah.

I was able to log onto Ella's phone

and access everything that was on there.

Look at this.

She sent me a text at 9:45 p.m. her time.

"Help, Tolan is trying to kill me."

- Well what are these numbers afterward?

- Coordinates.

Latitude and longitude.

And if you look at a map it puts 'em out

a mile from where Tolan claims that she disappeared.

- So this text never came through?

- No.

She was trying to reach out to me for help.

- Hey, there's no way you coulda known.

- But this, this proves it, doesn't it?

That he killed her?

I called Dwayne

and we're talking to the police in the morning.

- Who do you think sent this to you?

It's postmarked the day after she died.

- Someone on the yacht maybe.

A witness.

- How would they've had her password?

So let me get this straight.

You want your sister declared dead?

- That's right.

And I want her husband charged with murder.

- And this has absolutely nothing to do with

a million dollars in life insurance that's coming to you?

- Full disclosure here, Lydia.

And I told you Holly, she didn't know about that.

- Well it looks bad.

And all you have is this cryptic note

that someone allegedly mailed to you.

You can't prove that your sister wrote or sent the text

that was recovered.

- Do you think I'm lying?

- This happened less than two weeks ago, right?

- We're not jumping to any conclusions here.

- You know how this can look in court.

You've got nothing on the husband.

And most family members hold out hope longer than this.

- She fell off a boat in the middle of the night

40 miles from shore.

Of course I prayed that she swam to a boat

or somebody picked her up and took her to the hospital.

I have been nothing but hopeful.

But the truth is, my sister is dead

and everything in me tells me that this was not an accident.

- As I'm sure you already know,

this matter is outside our jurisdiction.

So I can't open a formal investigation.

Dwayne's a little too close to the matter

to interview people.

But on my own time,

I'll pay a friendly visit to your sister's husband.

keystros

Mom?

- Yeah hon?

- When is Aunt Ella coming back from her trip?

- Why do you ask that hon?

- She said she'd bring me a toy

from the place she was going.

I hope it's a new race car.

- Aunt Ella, she fell off a boat

and she's not coming back.

- But I want her to come back.

- Yeah, I know baby, me too.

But she's an...

She's an angel now.

In heaven.

And it's really pretty there

and she's very happy.

- I'm never gonna see her again?

- You will some day.

But for right now you can,

you can see her in your dreams anytime you want.

Just have to close your eyes and think about her.

- Mom?

- Yeah Josh?

- Can you stay with me for a little while?

- Of course buddy.

This is Dwayne.

- Hey Dwayne, look I know it's late.

But I wanted to let you know I've uncovered

some information on that name you supplied me with.

- You don't say?

Yep an account in the Caymans.

- And how did you find this out?

- Well look, it took a bit of work,

but I was able to find several accounts

linked back to this name.

Look, I have never seen anyone

use so many shell accounts to disguise their activity.

I have five financial institutions

over three different countries.

- Okay.

- It seems your Tolan Ferrier

has had some pretty questionable banking activity

over the last 60 days.

- This certainly makes things a lot more interesting.

- Honey?

Yeah?

- You okay?

- Yeah it's just...

...it's just difficult tonight.

- It's Dwayne.

- Hello?

- Lydia.

We may have something.

Tolan recently transferred a million dollars

from a few bank accounts to some secret account.

Now the cash took quite a journey,

but ultimately it all ended up in the same location.

Yeah?

Where's that?

The Cayman Islands.

- Do you think he's gonna run?

- Sure looks that way.

- Why didn't you alert us about your wife's disappearance

in Barbados?

- When I spoke to her sister, Lydia,

she said she was handling it.

I figured it was already under way.

Honestly I haven't had much time

to do anything since I've been back.

Everywhere I look around

there are signs of our new life together.

The one we never had.

- Did your wife have any life insurance policies?

- Not that I know of.

Why, was there one?

- How would you describe the relationship

between you and Ella?

- Well obviously it was good, we just got married.

- Weddings can be stressful.

Did you two argue a lot?

Don't you ever question me again.

Do you hear me?

- I can't remember a single time that we fought.

- Well those are all the questions that I have right now,

Mr. Ferrier.

- If you have any more feel free to call me, please.

- I will, thank you.

- I'll show you out.

Look here.

Your lifeline, it's short.

I see your death connected to this man.

- Madame Deidre.

Thank you for getting me in.

I know you probably book in advance.

- No, I'm glad you came.

- Oh, I have the note and the amulet that was sent.

- Lydia, your sister is alive.

- I wish that were true, but it...

...that's not possible.

- She faked her death.

It was the only way she could ever get away from Tolan.

He had to believe she's dead or he'd go looking for her.

- What are you saying?

Do you have any idea what I've been through?

- I'm not lying to you.

- Just stop.

I knew it was a bad idea coming here.

- Lydia! - No.

You can't play with people's emotions like this.

- Lydia?

I knew you'd eventually come here if I sent you the amulet.

- How long have you been here?

- I came a few days after you left the Caribbean.

- And Madame Deidre knew the whole time?

- Yeah.

We became friends last year.

I made her a few custom dresses for her work.

We had coffee and she offered to help me.

I knew you couldn't help.

Too obvious.

Besides, you can't keep a secret.

Tolan would've figured it out.

- Ella, I could've helped.

- I am so sorry I didn't tell you before I did it.

But I couldn't risk it.

- No.

It's okay.

I just, I can't believe

I'm sitting across from you right now.

I thought that monster had taken you away from me.

- He would have.

He threatened to many times.

He said if I left him, if I embarrassed him in that way,

he would have me killed.

- How did you do it?

I hired a man in Barbados.

For a certain amount of cash,

Madame Deidre's cousin agreed to help me.

His name is Matas.

He was the ship's captain.

I told Tolan I wasn't feeling well,

that I needed some air.

He was tired, taking a nap.

I knew that would buy me some time.

Once up top my plan was simple.

I plant a sandal on deck and throw the other one overboard.

I knew in his search for me, Tolan would find it.

The fear of doing this was overwhelming.

But I had no choice.

I knew it was now or never.

Matas had a plan.

The night I died he hid me down below

in a storage locker he assured me they would never search.

And they didn't.

It worked.

Matas was the one that mailed you that amulet and the note.

When the investigation was over

I quietly slipped ashore.

- You must've been terrified.

- Yeah, for a little bit

I didn't think I'd get away with it.

In local news,

a Barbados honeymoon turns tragic for a newlywed couple.

- Right now all we know is that a woman

seems to have fallen off the boat.

American woman.

We're still looking for her.

The woman has been identified as Ella Ferrier,

29, from Los Angeles, California.

Coast Guard and local authorities

continue their search and rescue mission

in hopes of finding her alive.

- I stayed there for two days

and then using a stolen passport

I bought the morning of my bachelorette party, I flew home.

- So you've had this planned for months?

- Four and a half months to be exact.

- What are you gonna do now?

You gonna stay in hiding your whole life?

- I found a place in Argentina.

It's a nice little community, mostly British ex-pats.

I'm gonna move there.

- What about security?

Do you have money?

- Some.

I'll work and maybe I can borrow some from you.

You are gonna make a lot of money on my death.

- You really think you can get away with this?

- Lydia, I have no choice.

My life is in danger here.

Ella will be fine here until she leaves the country.

- Lydia, you can't tell anyone you saw me,

not even Harrison.

I love you!

- I love you too.

- I love you too.

How long have you been here?

I came a few days after you left the Caribbean.

Madame Deidre knew the whole time?

Yeah.

We became friends last year.

So you've had this planned for months.

Four and a half months to be exact.

You can't tell anyone you saw me not even Harrison.

- I'm expecting her back any minute

and I'll be sure she gets the message.

Hey.

You're back.

There is a detective here to see you.

- Oh, show her to my office.

- After speaking with Mr. Ferrier

and reviewing the witness statements from the yacht crew,

I agree that your sister is most likely deceased.

I still don't have enough to call this a homicide though.

- Oh, okay well maybe we should just...

...call it an accident.

- Why this sudden change of heart?

- What do you mean?

- You sat in my office almost in tears,

begging me to investigate your sister's husband for murder.

And now it's just an accident?

- It doesn't matter what I believe.

You need proof right?

- I understand your frustration.

I'm not saying I'm gonna let this go.

I don't think Tolan Ferrier was completely honest

when I spoke to him.

I'm gonna investigate further.

- I appreciate that.

- I'll do everything I can to find out

what really happened to your sister.

- Thank you.

Honey, are you here?

Lydia?

Yeah, I'm out here.

- Hey.

I thought you were working today.

- No, I came home early.

- Listen, I, spoke to Victor today.

And I told him about Ella.

- You did?

Why?

- His wife's a probate lawyer.

I thought that maybe she could help us figure out

how to get the police to declare Ella dead.

- It's not a problem.

I spoke to the detective today

and she believes that Tolan might be

responsible for Ella's death.

- That's good news.

She's gonna investigate him?

- Um hmm.

- What's wrong?

This is exactly what we wanted.

- I know.

- Hey.

Don't worry.

Things are finally starting to fall in line.

We'll get justice for Ella.

What is this?

- Dwayne, hi.

- Hi.

Hey I just wanna let you know,

my partner is still working on trying to find

those off shore banking accounts.

Oh I didn't forget about you.

- Thanks.

Listen Dwayne, I really appreciate

all that you and your partner have done.

You know I know you're busy

and I feel bad asking you to do more.

I know you don't have jurisdiction over this matter

and I would hate for you to get in trouble

using all your resources.

- I'm not worried about my resources.

I don't mind doing this.

- You've done a great job.

But I think things are working out with the proper channels.

- Giving Detective Newmar additional leads will only help.

Trust me.

- I do.

And if I need anything, I'll call.

Really.

- Okay Lydia.

You got my number.

- 'Kay.

Night.

Wow.

- Was that Dwayne?

- Uh, Yeah.

- You're turning down his help?

- No, it...

This is just a mess.

And I don't want him to get in trouble.

I mean, Tolan is a powerful man

and he could make his life hell.

- I know.

But didn't we want him digging behind the scenes?

- No.

No, I don't.

Because if I did then I wouldn't have asked him to stop.

He and Mika have done enough.

They're risking their careers.

- You didn't like the detective, right?

You said we needed Dwayne and Mika.

What's going on?

- Nothing, I just, I wanna do things my way

without a million other people telling me how to do it.

- A million other people?

Who?

- I don't know.

I just, I don't wanna answer any more questions, okay?

It's done.

Hello.

- Lydia it's me.

I just wanna let you know

that I'm planning Ella's services a week from Saturday.

- Did you just say that you're planning them?

- First Devotional Church, 11:00 o'clock

with a reception at the house after.

- Don't you think

that maybe you shoulda consulted with me first?

- I'm well of what my wife wanted.

- You've knew her for a year.

I've known her my whole life.

- Look, Lydia, this is not a contest.

I just trying to give Ella a proper...

A proper celebration of life.

- You know what, I can't do this right now.

I'll call you tomorrow.

- Lydia, why are you so upset?

If he wants to have a funeral, let him.

At least you don't have to put the work into it.

- Are you serious?

- You can plan my real one.

Listen Lydia, if he's making arrangements

he'll be getting my death certificate.

I need you to get that from him for the insurance claim.

- About that.

This is insurance fraud Ella.

I wanna help but, can't you just move to South America

and use your new ID to get legit work?

- I plan on getting work wherever I go.

But I think this could help you.

It'll certainly help me.

- Not if I'm in prison.

- You won't be the one behind bars, I promise you that.

- What does that mean?

- It's just a matter of time until the police come

and arrest Tolan for my murder.

- Wait.

The text that you sent when you faked your death

said Tolan was trying to kill you.

And the million dollars

that was wired to the Cayman Islands,

are you framing him?

- Lydia, it's the only way.

- No, no no no.

You can disappear and he can think that you're dead, but...

- And what if he finds out I'm not?

- You can't send an innocent man to prison.

- He is not innocent.

And he does not deserve your sympathy.

- It's not about sympathy, Ella.

This is wrong.

- He threatened me.

He degraded me.

He manipulated me and the fact that

I have to fake my own death to get away from this monster

is enough in and of itself.

- I don't doubt that he did those things to you.

But he didn't murder you.

Sending him to prison...

- But he would.

Don't you get that?

If I had tried to leave again you'd be digging my body

out of a ditch somewhere.

He's dangerous.

Now look, Lydia, it's, it's not even about me.

It's about the next woman he finds.

Trust me.

Mine is not the only life I'm saving here.

- I know you're right.

And I would do anything for you.

But I don't know if I can be complicit

in sending a man to prison

for a crime that he didn't commit.

- Putting Tolan away, it's, it's all on me.

- You know that they'll call me as a witness.

- But I know Tolan.

And he'll leave and when he does,

he is never coming back here.

- I need to think about this.

- Please, Lydia.

I need you to do this.

If he's free then I'm dead.

- How much anti-freeze can kill a human?

Hmm.

And you say you found this under the sink?

- I don't usually pay any attention

to what people put in their trash.

But, given the strange circumstances

surrounding Ella's death.

- Have you noticed anything else that seemed odd?

- Mr. Ferrier was adamant that he did not want me

to touch any of her things after he came back from Barbados.

It didn't seem unreasonable I suppose.

- Tell me about their relationship.

- Tilly.

You're early.

I didn't see your car.

- It's in the shop.

- Is everything okay?

- Yeah, why would you ask that?

- You seem in pain.

- I'm okay, I just overdid it on the exercise.

- Of course.

- You think he hit her?

- Oh there were a couple other times too.

I tried to talk to her about it.

But she never wanted to admit anything.

At least to me.

- Did either of them say anything

about this honeymoon they took to the Caribbean?

- Ella did make a strange comment

when I told her goodbye.

- What was that?

- Well I said, have fun on your trip

and don't worry about a thing here.

And she said,

"What happens here is the least of my worries."

Something to that effect.

- Thank you.

This information has been very helpful.

I'll stay in touch.

Thank you Detective.

- She was such a beautiful soul.

She would want us to be smiling today, you know?

- I was hoping for something stronger,

but this is all there is.

How you holding up?

- Well that eulogy was riveting.

You know what's weird?

Other than that one, there's not a single photo of Ella

anywhere in this house.

- Copy of the death certificate.

Thank you.

Officers, secure the house.

- What's going on?

Start in there.

- Detective?

- Mr. Ferrier, we have a warrant to search this property.

- What for?

- You can read it.

- All these people just came from wife's funeral.

- Then I'm sure they'll be supportive of our investigation.

- Lunch next week then.

- Okay.

- Hey, hey take it easy with that computer.

It's expensive.

- Tolan Ferrier.

- Yeah. - You're under arrest

for the murder of Ella Westcombe.

- What?

You've gotta be kidding me.

- You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used against you

in a court of law.

- This is ridiculous.

And her name was Ella Ferrier.

Let's go.

- Honey?

Are you okay? - Yeah.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna be sick.

- There is some satisfaction in watching that prick

get stuffed into a police car.

You have to admit.

- I can't do this.

- You need me to pull over?

- No.

I can't, I can't keep this secret for her.

I mean I know it's wrong,

I just don't know how to make it better at this point.

What secret?

- Ella's alive.

She faked her death in Barbados.

- What?

- I just found out a couple days ago.

She hired a Bajan man to help her pull it off.

Said that she thought he would kill her

if she tried to end it any other way.

- So, Tolan was just arrested

for a crime that didn't even happen?

- Yeah.

- And you just stood there and you let that happen?

- What was I supposed to say?

Let him go, she's alive, none of it's real?

He can't know that she's alive.

- Lydia, come on.

I understand that she was scared,

but there are other ways.

I mean she coulda gone to the police.

They could put her in witness protection.

- She's not a witness.

- Still.

- Do you know how many women are killed by their exes?

Even if she moved out of state and changed her name

Tolan has the means to go after her

anywhere she tries to hide.

- Even so...

You can't possibly think that this is acceptable.

- I don't!

But I'm not gonna put Ella in any more danger

than she's already in.

Now Lydia, I don't want you to be alarmed.

But I just heard from Dwayne.

Tolan already posted a million dollar bail.

- Doesn't surprise me.

- He also told me that you were asking us to stand down.

Why didn't you say anything to me?

- Look Mika, it's been pretty crazy.

Look I'm sorry, but we've got him where we want him.

You know I've had time to process

and I just want the courts to decide.

Whatever happens, happens.

- Okay Lydia, you know if you need anything

you can talk to me.

- I do.

I love you.

And I promise I will put myself back together soon.

- I know you will.

I love you too.

No pressure.

- Yeah.

- I gotta get back to work.

- Bye.

So, I was thinking,

what if I send this in, collect on the life insurance

and then when it's time to testify,

tell them that I had a change of heart.

That I didn't think Tolan did it?

I could even testify as a character witness

for the defense.

- What if he's convicted anyway?

What if the IRS figures out you've been filtering money

over to Ella?

You'd really risk going to prison for insurance fraud?

Obstruction of justice?

What about us?

Our family?

- Ella is family too.

- You know what?

Ella made her own bed, she can lie in it.

- Are you really blaming her?

She's the victim of a jealous husband.

- Okay, no one's gonna be blaming her for that.

Okay but she concocted this whole scheme.

And she may be fine by putting an innocent man in jail,

but I'm not.

And I can't believe that you are either.

- You have no idea what it's like

to live in fear the way that she did,

to be emotionally terrorized by your jealous husband.

And act like nothing ever happened.

Harrison, there is nothing innocent about Tolan.

There is nothing innocent about that man.

TF133.

$300,000?

That can't be right.

Thank you for calling Sanders, Price & Wilson.

How may I assist you?

- May I speak with Frank Sanders please?

This is Tolan Ferrier.

- One moment.

- You know how I feel about Tolan,

but this isn't right.

And you know that.

- Yeah.

I know.

Everything you're saying is the truth.

And I love her and I would do anything for her.

But not at the expense of our family.

Our son.

Oh god.

What are we gonna do?

- We can't file the insurance claim.

- I know.

- Yeah Frank, it's just as perplexing to me.

I haven't been making any transfers

from my offshore accounts.

- And we can't let Tolan,

despite how much we both despise the guy, go to prison.

- Yeah.

You're right.

- Yeah, thanks Frank.

I'll keep you apprised.

- No. - What?

No!

Why not?

- Because I can't.

- What do you mean you can't do it.

You have to.

- I can't.

You know that I love you,

but I have Josh and Harrison to think about.

- How can you do this to me?

- The answer is no.

I'm not going to jail for you.

I have too much to lose.

There are other ways to make you safe.

- You are not going to jail.

And no, there really aren't any other ways.

If he finds out I'm alive, he'll kill me.

That's who Tolan Ferrier is and you know that.

- Here's your death certificate.

It's all I can do.

So look, you're really dead now.

- That's exactly right, Lydia.

There's nothing stopping him now.

- Hey.

I know that was hard, but you did the right thing.

- If anything happens to her,

I'll never forgive myself.

- No, don't let her put this on you.

You can only help others so much,

they gotta be responsible for themselves.

I'm proud of you, I really am.

- What are you up to?

Is she copying my passwords?

She's making transfers.

Setting me up.

My own wife.

Why that little...

- What the hell is going on?

- What are you talking about?

- You know damn well.

What was Ella doing transferring money between my accounts?

- I have no idea.

- Is she alive?

- Why would you even ask me that?

- I will get to the bottom of this.

And if I find out that you're involved,

I'll infiltrate every aspect of your life

until it is unrecognizable.

- You may have been able to bully my sister,

but you are not gonna bully me.

And if you even try, it'll the be the last thing you do.

- We'll see.

- And then he says "We'll see."

I mean what is that supposed to mean?

"We'll see."?

- The guy's a jerk, that's no surprise.

Besides, anything he does'll make him look guilty.

- True.

- Have you talked to Ella?

- No.

And I probably won't ever again.

I was devastated when I thought she died.

And then I was so happy when I found out she was alive.

And now it's like she died all over again.

What do you think he meant when he said

that he would infiltrate every part of our lives?

- I don't know.

He's a powerful guy.

Who knows what he'll do next.

- That's a great race car, Josh.

Let's finish up now, okay?

It's almost time to leave for school.

- Hello?

- Lydia, Detective Newmar here.

- Hi Detective.

- I just wanted to let you know

that the prosecutor will be contacting you

in the next day or two to schedule a deposition.

- A deposition?

- That's right.

They'll wanna know about

the last time you spoke to your sister,

her relationship with Tolan, those types of things.

- Okay.

- And Lydia, just so you know

between the phone records and the maid witnessing abuse,

our evidence is mounting.

- Great, thank you.

- Ella 343.

Ella Westcombe.

Let's look at travel history.

7800 miles added four weeks ago.

- I'm going to Atlanta on Monday

to meet with a potential retailer.

- Oh?

Who?

- Fryman's, one of the largest in the country.

If they order even a few of the dresses

it could be a really big deal.

You're gonna have to tell Carol

that you can't make it.

What?

Why?

- You've got so much going on with the wedding.

- The coordinator's pretty much taken on the rest.

Besides it's only for two days.

- Fine.

Two days.

Then I want you back here.

- Of course.

View travel.

- Atlanta certainly isn't 7800 miles round trip.

View connections?

But this is.

Hi Lydia.

Good morning.

Hey guys, how are ya?

So, so sorry we were late.

You wouldn't believe the traffic.

- You know what, I have to take this.

Go ahead and go in.

It's unlocked.

I'll be there in just a minute.

Hello?

Hey it's me.

Hi honey.

What's up?

- Do you have Josh?

- No, I'm showing a house.

You were supposed to pick him up, remember?

- He wasn't there.

- What?

- He wasn't at the main entrance.

Got there five minutes after the bell.

I don't know where he is.

- Well he has to be there.

Maybe he went back inside.

Ask one of the teachers.

- I did.

No one saw him go back in.

Lydia I think Josh is gone.

- What do you think?

Is it cool?

- So cool.

- So cool.

- What's going on?

- One of the aides said she saw him

leave with a tall blonde man.

She said it looked like he knew who he was.

- It's Tolan.

Oh my god I can't believe this is happening.

Oh my god I can't believe this is happening.

- Alright buddy, more surprises inside.

Here, let me carry that for you.

You know your mom wanted me to pick you up.

She wanted me to introduce you to someone.

You wanna meet someone?

Yeah.

Okay.

Let's do that.

Come inside and meet someone very special.

Watch your step kiddo.

- And you're sure it was Tolan who picked him up?

- I showed the woman who saw him a photo.

She said it was him.

- Why do you think Tolan would pick Josh up?

It doesn't make any sense.

- Detective, Ella's not dead.

She's alive and on the run from Tolan.

- Unbelievable.

How long have you known?

- Not long.

- Alright.

I'll put out an Amber Alert right away.

Give me a description of his car.

We'll get Josh back and we'll deal with the rest later.

- A dog!

- Yeah, her name's Beckett.

Why don't you and Beckett play for a little bit

while I go move the car.

- Okay.

You really think this is a good idea?

It's the only lead we have.

- Where is it?

- Just around the corner.

This is taking a long time.

She better be here.

Come on, come on, answer the door.

Deidre, where's Ella?

- What is it, I have a client.

- Where's Ella?

- She left.

- Where'd she go?

- I don't know.

And even if I did I wouldn't tell you.

- Listen to me, our son has been kidnapped.

- Tolan took him from school.

We need Ella's help

figuring out where he might have taken him.

- I honestly have no idea.

She packed up her things and left this morning.

She called for a ride.

- She didn't say anything about where she was going?

I don't believe you.

You fooled me once, not again.

Where's my sister?

- I know she had a passport with the name Jennifer Cooper.

She's probably using it to leave the country.

- Okay, let's call Detective Newmar.

Maybe she can contact TSA, find out where she is.

- If you do that, Ella's life will be at risk.

- Right now, my son's life is the only one that matters.

Hello?

- Lydia.

- It's him.

It's Tolan.

Where's Josh?

- He's safe.

For now.

If you want him to remain that way I want Ella,

even exchange.

- I have no clue where she is.

- So she is alive.

- Yes.

- If you wanna see your son again, find Ella.

You have two hours.

- Detective Newmar.

Detective Newman, it's Harrison.

- Harrison, what's going on?

- Listen, we just met with Madame Deidre

and we got a call from Tolan.

He has Josh.

- Is Josh okay?

Did he say where he was?

- No, no he didn't.

All we know is that we have two hours to find Ella

and get her to Tolan, otherwise,

we'll never see Josh again.

- Okay, stay calm.

Is there anything else that can help us find him or Ella?

- Madame Deidre said that Ella was using a fake passport

with an alias, Jennifer Cooper.

Can you track her with that?

- I'll get someone on that right now.

Listen, how long did the call with Tolan last?

There's a chance I can trace his number,

find out where he's keeping Josh.

- Yeah, well there's a problem with that Detective,

Lydia said that the call came in on an unlisted number.

Probably a burner phone.

Damn.

Okay.

I want you both to come straight to my office.

Our only hope right now is finding Ella.

- We're on our way.

- Hello, this is Lydia.

- Lydia, it's me.

I'm heading to the airport.

My plan was not meant

to put you or your family in harm's way.

Forget the whole insurance thing.

It was too much.

Once I'm gone, everything will go back to normal.

- No it won't Ella.

He has Josh.

- Oh my god.

Oh what have I done?

- Do you know where he might've taken him?

Another house or hotel or something?

- Nearby there's only one place.

He has another home in Castaic just North of L.A.

I'm driving now and I'm not far,

so I'll head there now.

I'm gonna make this right.

- Ella please just wait for the police.

If anything happens to Josh I will never forgive myself.

- Nothing is gonna happen to Josh.

I'll text you the address now.

Oh and Lydia.

- Yeah?

- Tell the police he has a private jet

at the airport in Castaic.

- Oh my god.

- I'm sorry.

Don't worry.

I'm close.

I will get to Josh no matter what.

- Detective Newmar, Ella called.

- What?

- We think we might know where Tolan's holding Josh.

Tolan Ferrier, you're under arrest

for the murder of Ella Westcombe.

What?

What was your fortune?

- She said I was gonna live happily ever after.

- Something happened to Ella.

- I'm gonna go up and get some air.

Ella?

Oh my god.

Captain!

Captain!

- Did you kill her?

Did you?

Tolan Ferrier.

Yeah?

- You're under arrest for the murder of Ella Westcombe.

- What?

You gotta be kidding me.

- Your money won't get you far in prison.

I'm not going to prison.

- Listen Dwayne, Ella texted us the address

of Tolan's second house outside L.A.

It's in Castaic.

I've already had dispatch send the local sheriff.

But this guy's dangerous.

He has permits for multiple weapons

and he has a jet at the local airport.

I need you to get out there ASAP.

I'm bringing Harrison and Lydia with me.

Yep, I'm on my way.

- Be safe.

- You too, Newman.

- Let's go.

- I'll get Lydia.

This is Sam.

- It's Tolan.

- Hello Mr. Ferrier.

- I want my jet fueled and ready to go in one hour.

- One hour, not a problem.

We'll get it done for you.

- No no no no no, what are you doing here?

- Mr. Ferrier?

Tolan Ferrier.

Hello?

Hello?

Sheriff's office.

Mr. Ferrier!

Are you in there?

We're looking for Josh.

- Sorry.

This is private property.

No trespassing.

- Please, don't shoot.

- Is this the right road?

- GPS says it's this dirt road.

Oh my goodness.

Are you okay?

- Help me to my car.

- Okay you're gonna be fine.

You okay?

- Yeah.

Just remember to breathe, okay?

Okay, deep breaths.

You're gonna be fine.

It's Ella.

They need help.

Stop the car.

Oh my gosh.

Where's Josh?

Harrison, help 'em.

- The boy's inside.

- What about Tolan?

- I hit in the head with a shovel.

I think he's dead.

I'm going inside to get Josh.

Wait, Ella!

- You okay?

Yeah.

Ella, wait!

Ella, what are you doing?

- Lydia, get back.

Nobody else goes in that house.

Get off of me!

Now get back.

Tolan, stop.

- There he is.

Dwayne, gun.

Gun!

Drop the weapon.

Show me your hands, Ferrier.

- I'm not going to prison.

If I die I'm taking someone with me.

Everybody behind the cars, now.

Yeah, that's right.

That's right, everybody back up.

Back up or Josh doesn't go home.

Well look who's back from the grave.

- You gave me no choice.

- You were trying to frame me for your murder?

After everything I've done for you?

You were my wife!

I loved you!

- Put the gun down Ferrier!

- You have every right to be mad at me.

But don't take this out on my family.

- Oh your precious sister has it coming.

You knew she was alive!

You let them arrest me!

Well now you're gonna see what it's really like

to lose someone.

- Tolan, please.

- It's me you want, okay?

Let's just go.

We can get away right now.

We'll take your plane.

Tolan.

You can do whatever you want with me.

Put the gun down Tolan.

- Don't do it Tolan.

No one has to die.

Think of your family.

- You manipulative little witch.

You don't wanna hurt anybody.

- 'Til death do us part, remember?

- Okay.

I'll die with you but I wanna say one last thing to Lydia.

Sis, so heartbroken over our tragedy.

On three.

- So heartbroken, S-H over our tragedy, O-O-T.

Shoot on three.

Shoot on three.

Shoot on three.

One, two.

Three.

Oh my god, Ella.

- No, stay back Lydia.

Stay back.

Drop your weapon Tolan.

Drop your weapon or I'll shoot.

- We...

We could've - - had the perfect - - life together.

- No one could've had a life with you.

- Dwayne, cuff him and read him his rights.

- I'll get Josh.

- Keep pressure on the wound.

- Josh!

Are you okay?

- Tolan Ferrier, you're under arrest.

Oh sis.

You have the right to remain silent.

- You okay?

- It hurts but I'm okay.

Be advised, we have two victims down.

One female, minor wound, one male,

- It's over. - multiple gunshot wounds.

Thank God.

Suspect is in custody.

Go ahead, go see Aunt Ella.

- Aunt Ella!

Hi sweetheart.

I'm glad you're okay.

- Me too.

Whoo, that's a good slide bud.

So cute.

I still can't believe you kept the dog.

- Hey, he's kept his promise

to feed her and take her on walks.

They're inseparable.

- I'm sorry I lied.

I should've never gotten you involved at all.

- I forgive you.

I'm just glad that you're still here.

- Still alive?

- Well yeah, that too.

And also not living halfway across the world

where I would never get to see you.

Just promise me one thing.

- Don't say it.

- This is what sisters are for.

Okay just agree that...

- I know, any new boyfriend gets your stamp of approval.

- Yes.

How'd you know?

- A fortune teller told me.

- Funny, very funny.

That reminds me, we need a night out.

Yeah we do.

We need some fun, yes. - Go get it.

In fact, I know a place we can go.

No, no no, you planned the last one.

And look how well that turned out.

I will make the arrangements.

Hey, I'm next, I'm next!
