Original subtitles

That was really good.

Hey, listen, you didn't have to pay for that. Seriously.

Oh, come on.

It's the least I could do. I invited you guys.

And besides, now that I'm divorced, who else am I spending my money on but my

big brother and his family? Come on. Yeah, but you're not going to be single

long. Oh, God.

Thank you, Uncle Michael.

Of course.

Hey, what did I tell you? Best food in Philly?

Mm -hmm.

All right.

Well, I've got to show a property early tomorrow, so I'm going to take off.

Okay.

Be safe, kiddo.

Drive safe. Good night, Abe. Night.

Sorry, guys.

Excuse me for a second. Look, I know you need this, so stay right here. Just

take it.

Come on.

Just take it. I know you need it. Just take it. I don't need it. Just put it

away. Really?

That's a first.

All right.

All right, well, I'm over this way.

Take care. Yeah. Thanks for dinner.

Bye, Michael.

Drive safe.

Was that really necessary back there?

You embarrassed him.

Michael's been borrowing money from me my entire life. I mean, I can't imagine

he's just going to get embarrassed now.

You know, I don't think he's doing as well as we thought he was.

What if he starts drinking again?

Yeah, that implies he stopped.

Trevor. I could smell it on him when we got there.

I'm just surprised Kelsey stayed with him for as long as she did.

Still, she didn't have to cheat on him.

It's a really crappy thing to do to somebody, you know?

If you're not happy, leave. You don't put him through that.

That kind of oversimplifies it, don't you think?

I don't understand why you always defend her.

Michael needs you on his side right now.

Michael's a screw -up.

Kelsey isn't. I call him like I see him.

Goodbye, Nick. Goodbye, Nick! Oh, my God!

Oh, my God! Oh,

my God!

911, what's your emergency?

My husband's being attacked by a man with a mask.

Yes, Slosson and 135th. Are you okay? Yeah, I'm okay.

Are you okay? Yeah, listen, he's about 5 '9". He's wearing black. He's got a

black mask.

And, yeah, he ran east on Slosson. He went that way.

Oh, my God.

why your father rushed these guys.

I mean, it was incredible. It was like his instincts just kicked in. So did

catch him yet?

No, not yet.

That's Mike.

You should take that. He probably wants something.

Yeah.

Hey, Mike, what's going on?

Uh, too bad neither of you got a good look at the guy.

Yeah, he was wearing a mask.

All I remember is seeing that gun pointed at your father's face.

Well... Maybe they could get a serial number or prints off of it.

I don't have much faith in the police.

Why is that?

Why don't you have faith in the police? You've said that before.

When you have a little bit more life experience, you'll understand.

Holy crap.

What happened in here? Hey, Ben.

I thought you were going to order the cake.

I decided it's more personal if it's homemade.

Ash, your mom and mamacita are going to love it.

Hey, look at this. What?

Did you know about that?

You can get copies of your birth records now, even though they're closed.

Wait, are you serious?

Yeah, they changed the law in Pennsylvania a few years ago.

I overheard a guy in a coffee shop talking about it.

Are you happy?

I thought you would be, since you wanted to know more info on your biological

mom, but kept hitting walls. Yes, I am. It's just, um... It's just a lot to

process, that's all.

So I can get a birth certificate with her name on it now.

Well, I printed this one off for you, too.

You send that in with 20 bucks, they'll give you her name.

Thank you.

You're amazing, you know that, right?

So we've been together for 24 years.

It took the state of Pennsylvania a long time to recognize our marriage, but you

know what? They finally came through. Here, here. And I have to say, I have

never been happier.

Maricela, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me.

And Ashley, you're by far the best thing that's ever happened to us.

So here's... to another 24.

Time for cake.

Cake!

No,

no, no. Listen to me.

Listen.

This is just too risky in my opinion, okay? We've got to be more careful.

I've got to go. I'll talk to you later, okay?

Sweetheart, what are you doing up? You feeling okay?

Who is that?

Walter.

Some new fund he wants us to invest in.

Walter works late.

Yeah, I don't think the guy ever sleeps.

And speaking of sleep, I am exhausted.

I'm going to bed.

You coming?

Yeah, I'll be up in a minute. Okay, I'll see you up there.

It's been two weeks since that guy tried to rob my dad, and the police have

nothing. They're worthless.

Not a single suspect.

Well, they weren't hurt, so my dad is at the top of their priority list.

Is the fee on your stepmom getting along better than ever? Yeah, I've learned to

keep the fees.

My dad hates it when I call her out.

She's good to your dad.

Be appreciative of that.

She's good at spending his money.

She's been living off him for, what, the past ten years?

Why do you hate her so much?

I don't hate her.

I just don't trust her.

You can just never get a straight answer out of her. She's always intentionally

vague.

I can see how that would drive someone like you nuts. You're the complete

opposite.

Thank you.

I'll take that as a compliment.

Division of Vital Records.

Come in.

Sorry to interrupt, sweetie.

No, don't worry about it. Trust me, any break from statistics is a good one.

Thank you.

You know what this is, don't you?

I have an idea.

Dear Miss Ashley Beckford, we received your request for your original non

-certified birth record.

Our records indicate that you were born in Philadelphia County to Miss Sarah Ann

Gilbert. Date of birth, September 29th, 1978.

Your father was listed.

And the name given to you at birth was...

Emily Ann Gilbert.

Emily Ann.

She wanted me to have the same middle name as her.

I'm sorry. I don't know why I'm getting so emotional.

Are you

going

somewhere? Yeah.

Denver for meetings. Back Tuesday.

Oh. Why so long?

Just... I have a lot to accomplish, that's all.

I used to take me with you.

Can't do it this time.

Gotta focus on work.

But I won't be a distraction. I'll just lay out by the pool. I'll get massaged.

Next time.

Gotta go. Call you tonight.

Why do you have to have such a common name?

Oh, my God.

I found you.

This is a really nice letter.

If I got this from the daughter I gave up, I'd want to meet her.

Really? You think so?

Did I print it by hand?

No, I don't think you have to.

You signed it, and the important thing is you let her know that you don't blame

her.

Will you deliver it for me?

Me?

Why don't you just put it in the mail?

I don't know if she has kids or something.

What if they don't know about me?

I just want to make sure she gets it in person.

Okay. I'll do it tomorrow morning.

Thank you.

Don't need these.

Let's go to bed.

I'll get it.

Hey, I'm looking for Sarah Hillman.

Yeah, that's me.

Private, just FYI.

Hello? Ashley, is this you?

Yes.

Ashley,

it's Sarah.

This is your mother.

I got your letter. I just want you to know how happy it made me. I can't

you found me.

I would love to meet you in person.

When are you free?

today this afternoon i mean if you're available yes yes today today's perfect

anytime in the afternoon it's it's it's good for me um you have my address okay

yes of course i'll i'll see you soon i'm really looking forward to meeting you

me too we have so much to catch up on

Wow I

Can't

believe you're really here

Look at you.

What a beautiful young woman you are.

Thank you.

These are for you.

Thank you.

They're gorgeous.

You have no idea how long I've waited for this moment.

Really? Yeah.

It's the happiest day of my life.

Do you want sugar or cream?

No, thank you. Black is fine.

I'm so sorry you don't get to meet my husband Trevor today.

That's all right.

Next time. Next time, yes, for sure.

So, where do we start?

Maybe with why?

Yeah, why I gave you up.

I'm sure you've wondered about that your entire life.

Well, I was very young when I met your father.

I'd been staying with friends, and they took me to this party, and he was there.

We spent the night together.

I never saw him again after that.

I didn't know his last name. My friends didn't either.

I think his first name was Roy.

He's quite tall.

He's very attractive.

And I'm guessing he never knew you were pregnant.

You know what? I think that the past is really important to talk about.

And we should talk about it. All of it.

Eventually. But I just really want to know more about you right now.

Well, uh...

I'm in grad school. I'm studying to become a pediatrician.

I don't have any brothers or sisters, but I was adopted by these two wonderful

women who... Sarah?

Oh,

I'm sorry I didn't realize you had company.

Oh, no, no, it's fine.

It's fine.

Hi, I'm Amy, Trevor's daughter.

Nice to meet you.

Ashley.

Ashley is the daughter of an old friend of mine.

The last time we saw each other, she was just a baby.

Really? Yeah. Wow.

Do you need something?

Your father's in Denver.

I just stopped by to get my jacket that I left here the other night.

Oh, okay. Well, it's probably in the closet.

I'm sorry.

I didn't catch your last name.

It's Beckford.

Got it.

Please don't think that I lied about who you are because I'm ashamed or anything

like that. It's just that Trevor and Amy don't know that I gave up a daughter.

I understand.

It's fine.

I'm going to tell Trevor tonight when he gets home. No, please don't feel

obligated to just because of me. No, I want to. I just want Trevor to know

before Amy.

I see.

Stupid bitch.

How could you?

Damn you, Kelsey.

You were happy in Miami.

Talk about keeping secrets.

You never thought to mention that you had a daughter?

Yes. Okay.

All right. Well, I didn't know where she was, or if she was even still alive.

When I gave her up from the hospital, they said that she'd never be able to

me, or that I'd have no way of knowing what happened to her.

Babe, what's the big deal? You have a daughter. Uh, yeah, and I think I

mentioned that on our first date.

Okay, I get it. I should have said something.

Can't you just be happy for me that we reconnected? It's not that Ashley

It's that you didn't tell me that she does. Please, she just wants a

relationship with me, okay? She just wants to know more about herself, more

about me.

I'm just surprised that you trusted her so quickly.

You're usually so skeptical with everyone that you meet.

No, I'm not.

Babe, listen to me.

I'm really happy that she found me.

Okay? She's a part of my past that's good, and I want to embrace it.

And her.

I hope you're right.

Wait until you meet her. You're going to see what I'm talking about.

Mm -hmm.

Um, are there any other secrets from your past that I should know about?

You know, besides the one where you went to jail when you were 18 for forging

checks or... The medical fraud one. That was a good one. Okay, I was 25.

I didn't have insurance.

And now a child.

Babe, I promise there's no more secret.

Yeah, that's it. Now you know everything about me.

Do I?

I swear. Okay.

I love you. I love you.

Hey, Mike, I was going to call you later on tonight. What's up?

Hey. Yeah, someone tried to break into my apartment last night.

What? Yeah.

He messed up the frame and the lock pretty good. Landlord said he was going

have to have it rekeyed.

So what time did this happen?

Did you hear them?

Yeah, I don't really know. You know I'm a pretty heavy sleeper.

What's going on?

Someone tried to break into Michael's apartment last night.

Were you drunk?

No.

Is he okay?

I had a few drinks, but not that many.

I don't know why anybody would want to break in here. There's literally nothing

to steal.

Yeah, weird timing, right?

Someone tries to rob me the other night and now you?

Yeah.

Hey, you don't think that it could have been somebody you pissed off, do you?

No, I don't.

Listen, I got to get going.

I'm going to call you later tonight. And if you need a place to stay, feel free

to come over here, okay?

Thanks, man. I got to wait around for the locksmith.

All right. Talk to you soon.

What's he talking about? What guys did you piss off?

Nothing. I guarantee they had nothing to do with it.

Are you in some kind of trouble?

Of course not. Look, a couple years ago, Mike and I did a deal with these guys,

and they were being investigated by the feds. We didn't know that at the time.

The feds contacted us, and we cooperated.

That's it.

But if Michael thinks that they might be retaliating... Well, then they're not

very good at their job, are they? Zero for two.

So what is it that your mothers do, Ashley?

Well, Kelly works as a physical therapist.

She actually just went back to work as soon as I finished high school.

And Marcel is the branch manager of a bank.

They're both successful. You must be so proud.

I am.

They're amazing women.

Sarah had a business at one point, importing and selling jewelry.

Whatever happened to that?

Well, we were traveling in Africa and... Found some beautiful jewelry that was

made by these village women.

So I decided to open up a shop.

Sounds like a great idea.

Well, it was a little bit more time -consuming of an endeavor than I

Traveling all the time.

Is there a problem, Amy? No.

I just always thought you stopped because of the incident on the plane.

Something happened on a plane?

How dare you insult me in front of my own daughter?

You invited her knowing she would do this.

I told you this was going to happen.

Yeah, but did you have to bring it up?

It's always something.

Good luck with all that.

I'm sure you're happy you found your mom, but trust me, your life is about to

get a hell of a lot more complicated.

Amy's always disparaging me.

The incident on the plane was nothing.

I had a panic attack, so they had to return to the gate to let me in.

Why do you think Amy doesn't like you? Because she thinks that I am after her

father's money, but that's not true.

I'm really sorry that you had to witness that drama with she and I.

Hey, it's okay.

Yeah?

I want to get to know you, be a part of your life, and not just good parts.

I needed you to find me.

I really, really did.

I feel sorry for her, you know?

I mean, it was kind of mean to invite Amy without telling her.

True.

Just be careful.

Technically, she's still a stranger.

I know.

I guess that's what I'm going to have to try and figure out.

Figure out what?

You or her?

Both.

Understanding her might give me some insight.

Wait, what are you confused about?

You're one of the most well -adjusted people I know.

I wonder how my moms are dealing with all this.

They really didn't tell me anything about it.

Moms are going to be fine.

It's not like you're abandoning them to move in with Sarah.

That's true.

I haven't even moved in with you yet.

I'm not going to wait forever.

Yeah, you will.

All right, I will.

No one's trying to embarrass me, Sarah.

Amy was, and you know it.

Look, we don't know what we're allowed to say and what we're not allowed to

You have so many secrets, not even you can keep them straight. That's not true.

What you did was more embarrassing than what Amy said.

I mean, why the hell did you have to jump out of the chair like that? How did

you want me to react? I don't know how you're going to react. That's the

problem. I'm living with someone who half the time is manic and the other

they're secretive, and I don't know what's going to come next.

Are you going to get angry at nothing?

Paranoid? Is another skeleton going to jump out of your closet at me? No, no,

don't you dare turn this around. You knew how important that dinner was to

You did this on purpose to get back at me because you knew I didn't tell you

about her.

Yeah, that's what I did.

I'm going to sleep in the other room tonight. Good.

Where are you right now?

I'm on campus. I have classes today.

I need you to come to the house.

Why? What's wrong?

Trevor's been murdered.

They won't let me back inside the house.

They haven't taken his body out yet. Sarah? What happened?

Oh, my God, Michael.

Michael, thank you so much for coming.

I am so sorry.

Tell me this is just a bad dream.

This is a nightmare.

Oh, this is my daughter, Ashley. We just reconnected recently.

Where is Amy?

I haven't told him.

I couldn't do it.

I can't do it. I'll do it.

What happened?

I don't know. I... I was, um... I was in the kitchen, and

then I just noticed some blood, and then, um... I went into the guest

It was horrible.

We... We had a fight, and that's why he slept alone.

Was the security system on? Yeah.

Trevor always said it. And so I just assumed that he did.

He always does.

He didn't see or hear anything?

The police asked me the same question.

No. No, no, no. I sometimes take these pills to sleep, and

they're really strong.

But I haven't taken them in a long time. I was really shaken up about the fight.

Relax, okay? Nobody's accusing you of doing anything wrong. I didn't.

I didn't do anything wrong. I loved him. You know that.

I know.

I'm going to call Amy.

You don't think I had anything to do with it, do you?

You believe me, right?

You believe me?

I didn't have anything to do with it. Yes, of course, I believe you.

Okay.

As a brother, Trevor was always generous and supportive and kind.

He was always there for me in difficult times.

I was in such a funk, I was drinking all the time.

And if it were for Trevor, I don't even know if I'd be here today.

I don't know why anyone would want to hurt him.

But my brother's death will not go unpunished.

I'm making it my mission to find who did this.

Thank you so much for coming.

Thank you.

Clara. Kelsey. I'm so sorry.

Thank you, Kelsey.

Thank you.

This is Ashley. This is my daughter.

Ashley, this is Kelsey Hillman, Michael's ex -wife.

Hello?

I didn't realize you had a daughter. No, we recently reconnected. I see.

Well, I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am.

Trevor was an extraordinary person.

I'm just going to be right over there.

Amy, I just wanted to say I'm so sorry about your father.

It looks like he touched a lot of people's lives.

Yeah.

Apparently he touched at least one person the wrong way.

Well, I'm sure the police will be able to... The police?

They're looking at your mother as a possible suspect. Did you know that?

I mean, the spouse was always suspected, so I assumed... Don't believe

everything she tells you.

Why not?

You never quite get the whole truth.

What has she lied about?

Let's just say I wouldn't be surprised if she had something to do with it.

Your father's murder?

She had a lot of secrets.

It's hard to be back in this house.

Maybe you should stay with some friends.

Just for a little bit.

Yeah, maybe.

Do you mind my asking?

What do you think happened that night?

We fought.

Trevor took Amy's side after that horrible dinner.

She's always resented me.

Amy.

Never gave me a chance.

Anyway, he decided to sleep in the guest bedroom, and I guess with all the

drama, he must have forgotten to set the alarm.

But whoever did this, wouldn't they assume that he'd be

in the master bedroom?

I mean, that...

They probably went in there first, so why not kill

both of you?

Because they wanted Trevor dead, not me.

That's probably why Amy thinks I'm involved.

Did Trevor have a lot of enemies?

Trevor was a kind man if he liked you.

If he didn't?

He could be ruthless.

Was he ruthless to a lot of people?

Yeah.

More than he should have been.

I think this has something to do with some clients that he had that were being

investigated by the feds.

Like what?

I don't know.

He was talking on the phone with Michael about it. They mentioned it.

And... I think Michael thought it was a problem, but Trevor didn't.

What do you think about what the daughter said?

That Sarah can be behind it?

Look, Sarah's a little weird, yeah, but

I really don't think she's capable of murder.

I mean, she just seems so weak and fragile, like she's on the edge of a

breakdown.

And I think Sarah needed Trevor a lot more than he needed her.

Ashley, you need to let the police handle that.

Do not get involved in this mess.

Hey, I'm serious.

Who's ever behind this is not afraid of committing murder.

Ashley, what are you doing here?

I was just wondering if you maybe wanted to grab a bite to eat?

Or... Yeah, just made out in front of the building five minutes.

Oh, right.

What did you want to discuss?

I guess what I really want to know is your opinion on whether or not you think

Sarah could have been involved somehow.

My brother's relationships were all unusual, his marriages included.

Trevor and Sarah had their problems, but what marriage doesn't? What kind of

problems?

Well, I'm really only getting it from his side, but I know he used to hate how

secretive she was.

How, uh...

She had a checkered past.

He hated how many pills she was on.

He found them hidden all over the house.

Was she ever violent, though?

One assault charge.

An axe, maybe. I don't know.

Assault?

That doesn't sound like Sarah.

Sarah's changed a lot in the last ten years.

When I first met her, she was, uh...

Kind of tough.

She'd anger really easily.

Couldn't really get through those walls.

Trevor brought the best out in her.

Amy thinks Sarah could have had something to do with it.

She told me at the funeral.

Well, Amy never really liked or accepted Sarah, so you're going to have to take

what she says with a grain of salt.

Sarah said that you and Trevor were involved in an investigation.

Do you know anything about that?

What makes her think that? I don't know.

Overheard Trevor talking about it, I guess.

No.

Yeah, we have clients, but nothing ever happened with them.

What about other clients?

Sarah said that Trevor could be ruthless at times.

Well, she's right about that.

He never wanted to get on Trevor's bad side.

So you think Michael's lying? Honey, I think you're jumping to conclusions.

okay, think about it like this.

Someone tries to rob Trevor after leaving a restaurant. Not successfully,

still.

And then someone almost breaks into Michael's apartment, and then Trevor's

murdered in his own home, but they don't do anything to Sarah.

I mean, if that doesn't sound like a hit, I have no idea what does.

Yeah, but aren't the police looking into all this?

Yeah, probably.

Look. I think you should just stay out of it. I mean, nothing good is going to

come from you playing Nancy Drew.

You sound like Ben.

Ben's smart.

I'm not investigating. I'm just... I don't know what I'm

doing.

Look, you're trying to find out if Sarah's involved because you want a

relationship with her. I get that.

Yeah.

I just... I really hope she's not involved.

The biggest fear Mama C. and I had about you finding her was that you'd get

hurt.

You know it's better to always know the truth, even if it's not what you want to

hear.

So what if she is involved?

What then?

With her.

She's meeting with a probate attorney tomorrow and wants me to go with her.

Should I?

Honey, that's up to you.

Thank you so much for meeting me here. I had no idea you were going to do that.

I thought we were just here to discuss your inheritance from Trevor. We did.

I know, but you're having your lawyer write up a whole new will and leaving

everything to me.

You're my daughter.

It's just a lot to take in.

I don't think you understand how much it means to me that you came looking for

me. You know, and with everything going on right now, I'm really, really happy

to have you back in my life.

I know Amy suspects that I had something to do with her father's death, and the

police do too, I'm sure.

And yeah, I'm going to inherit a lot of money.

But that doesn't mean that I wanted him dead.

Ever.

I'd give every penny back to have him here with me.

What's going on?

Sarah Hillman, you're under arrest for the murder of Trevor Hillman. What?

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be held against you.

What's going on?

What's wrong with Frank Holliday?

This is unit 414. I have a 10 -52.

Subject in toxicity. Appears to be having a medical emergency.

She's in surgery right now. They're performing a coronary angioplasty.

Were you with her else when she collapsed?

Yeah, we just got back from seeing her lawyer.

It happened while she was being arrested.

Ashley, don't you think that maybe we need to put some distance between you

Sarah? Are you serious?

I can't just abandon her now.

Wait, but you said that if she was guilty... We don't know that she...

guilty. I mean, it's because she was arrested, doesn't it? Do you understand

much evidence police need to get an arrest warrant?

They obviously have something substantial.

It doesn't matter.

Look, I can't turn my back on her now. The rest of the world, you guys can all

do that, but I'm not going to do that to her.

She didn't mean it like that.

I'll go talk to her.

Thank you, Beth.

Thank you.

That wasn't fair.

What she said to them?

What's not fair is them asking me to bail on her.

I mean, she needs me now more than ever. I get that.

They're just worried about you.

I'm worried about you. I don't think she did this, Ben.

Hello?

Ashley, it's me.

Oh, hi.

They finally gave me permission to make a couple calls.

That's okay. How are you doing?

I feel okay.

No major pain.

That's good. I tried to visit you after surgery, but they wouldn't let me.

I know. The nurse told me. Is there anyone you need me to contact for you? A

lawyer? No, I did.

He's meeting me tomorrow.

I want you to know that I'm innocent, Ashley.

The police think that I did it, but I swear I didn't.

I think it's Michael and Trevor, the clients of theirs.

How do I find out more about them?

Michael. I already spoke to him.

He said they're not involved and there's no investigation going on.

Maybe Trevor has information on his files.

The ones on his computer.

Okay, how do I get into the house without the key? There's a key on the

On the front patio.

And how do I get onto his computer?

Maybe Amy?

Thought I'd have a password.

That was quick.

You always go through other people's computers? Amy, you scared me. What are

doing here?

Sarah told me where the spare key was.

That doesn't answer my question. What are you doing here? I'm just trying to

find out who killed your father.

Wow, she really has you fooled, doesn't she? Look, I know you think Sarah did

this, but I'm not so sure.

And I'm not just saying that because she's my mother.

I hate to say this, but Sarah had the most to gain.

And I think she tried before.

What do you mean you think she tried before?

A couple weeks ago, after we went out to a restaurant, a man with a gun tried to

rob him.

My dad got the gun away from him, and the guy ran off.

So you think she hired someone?

Well, from my understanding, the guy never approached Sarah, only my dad.

Well, what about the other night when someone tried to break into your uncle's

apartment? I mean, that has to have something to do with this. Random

coincidence?

Or maybe Michael imagined it in one of his episodes.

He drinks a lot, Ashley.

Ever since his wife left him, he goes through a bottle a night.

My dad kept trying to get him to go to rehab, but he wouldn't.

Or it's part of Sarah's plan to try and get the cops off her table.

Can I help you? I have a warrant to do an additional search of the premises.

I'm sorry, what's going on? Could you wait for us outside, please?

I understand.

But we can only do that if you maintain a balance in your money market account.

Once the transfer has gone through, it shouldn't be a problem.

Of course.

You're welcome.

Thank you so much for coming. Of course. What's going on?

I don't know exactly, but I overheard and... I think they found a knife with

dried blood on it. Wait, in the house?

How come they didn't find that before?

Apparently it was in a hidden cupboard or something.

Wherever it was, they must not have searched for it the first time.

What's that all to talk?

The search warrant or Sarah's arrest yesterday?

I didn't catch all of it, but...

It sounded like they got an anonymous tip from someone that Sarah threw out a

bloody nightgown in the trash in the middle of the night.

Babe, I hate to say this, but it's really starting to sound like she's

You hired a private investigator to run a background check on Sarah?

She did it right after you found her. I just wanted to make sure there was

nothing about her you needed protection from.

There's quite a bit in there.

Previous addresses, employment history, vital records.

There's a lot you don't know about her.

I know. I lied about a lot of things. You lied about almost everything.

And what you didn't lie about, you completely made up.

Yeah, I know.

Why? Why would you do that to me? I came to you wanting to know who you were,

what your life was like.

Why you gave me up. I couldn't tell you the truth.

That when I got pregnant with you, I was an escort.

That I don't know who your real dad is.

That I've been arrested six times and I was a drug addict.

I was so happy when you found me.

And I just figured, I figured if you knew any of that, you would have walked

away and never contacted me again.

So you basically made up a person that didn't exist.

No, I let you into my life the way it is now.

I went to rehab, and I met a guy there, and he helped me turn my life around.

And a year later, I met Trevor. That is such a load of crap.

Hey, you know what?

You want to know the truth about me?

I'll tell you the truth.

I was not a good person, Ashley.

I used people. I wasted every opportunity that was given to me. I

and I did a lot of drugs.

But you know what?

I am not that person anymore.

I am a completely different person.

Okay.

I need you to be honest with me. For once, did you kill Trevor?

No. Then why would you throw away a nightgown with blood on it? I don't

I didn't.

I didn't. I don't even leave the house at night.

Whoever called in that tip must have put it there.

Somebody is trying to frame me.

Don't give up on me.

Please.

I need you.

My lawyer doesn't think I'm going to make bail.

Why not?

Because a few years ago, I skipped out when I was arrested for shoplifting.

My hearing is the day after tomorrow at 2 PM.

Will you be there?

Amy? You weren't answering my texts. I got worried.

It's been a rough 48 hours.

Come on in.

I want to believe she's innocent, but honestly, I'm not so sure anymore.

She just lied about so many things.

I know this is going to sound crazy, but I think Sarah's right.

Someone's trying to frame her.

Why would you say that?

The knife they found. It was in a hidden cupboard.

Okay. I don't think that Sarah even knows that cupboard exists.

But more importantly, the knife was not there two days ago.

And how do you know this? The night that we both ended up there at the same

time, I looked in the cupboard.

And it wasn't there.

Nothing was.

And then it magically appeared the following day.

Why were you looking in there?

I was looking for something that my dad would have wanted to keep hidden from

Sarah.

Threatening letters, legal papers, I don't know.

My dad used to hide gifts from my mom there when she was still alive.

I didn't really expect to find anything, but I figured it was worth a shot.

And is there anyone else who knows about it?

Not sure. But the killer obviously knew the layout of the house.

Amy, you have to go to the police with this. I don't know how receptive they'll

be. They think they have their person.

We need something concrete.

Okay.

Let's start by making a list of everyone that went in and out of the house.

The housekeeper.

She wouldn't have anything to do with this.

The police, although I don't know why they would want to frame your mother.

Michael?

Possibly.

He did used to house -sit for them from time to time.

You?

You think I could have killed my father? No, I'm just saying... I love my

father.

He wasn't always a good person, but he was always good to me, and he did not

deserve what happened to him.

Look, I know it's no secret that I don't like Sarah, but I do not want to see an

innocent person go to prison while the person who murdered my father is still

out there.

Whoever did this needs to pay. I'm sorry.

I believe you.

I want the exact same thing that you do.

There is another possibility.

Who?

I'm pretty sure my father was having an affair.

I don't know who it was with, but one day we were at a restaurant and he got a

text from her while he was in the restroom.

I saw it come up on his phone.

So maybe her husband found out or Trevor broke it off with her and she got

jealous?

It's worth looking into.

How do we start?

So, basically, we're looking for any hotel receipts or any restaurant

where two people ate.

There's probably a million of them, but, yeah.

What about your uncle? It seemed like they were pretty close.

Given that Kelsey was cheating on Michael, I doubt my dad would have been

to tell Michael he was doing the same thing to Sarah.

Yeah, you're probably right on that.

Michael, what are you doing here?

I need to see you. No, you don't. Go home.

I just lost my brother for Christ's sake. Have some compassion.

I am sorry about Trevor, but nothing good is going to come from us talking.

Please go home.

How could you do that to me?

How?

He was my brother.

I don't know what you're talking about. You're drunk.

Two people that I love the most and you betray me like that.

Get out.

Get out.

I did everything for you.

What are you talking about right now?

You know what I'm talking about. Did you really think I wouldn't find out?

Of all the people in the world, you had to choose your brother.

Your own brother.

Everything that has happened has happened because of you.

It is only your fault.

What do you mean, everything?

I shouldn't be here.

Michael!

Michael!

And another one from the same restaurant.

Again, always paid in cash.

And look, they all are between 7 and 8 p .m.

Let me see.

Now that's interesting.

It looks like these are all with the same person.

How do you know that?

Well, the pasta Alfredo was ordered every single time, along with a glass of

same type of wine, the Belay Chardonnay.

Did your dad always eat the same thing?

No, and he hated pasta Alfredo.

See, there's a scotch and water on each of these. That's what he ordered.

Oh, can you pull up the calendar? Let's see what day of the week these all fell

on. Okay.

Um, Thursday.

This one's Thursday, too.

And it's Tuesday.

And another Thursday.

So almost always on a Thursday.

Tomorrow's a Thursday.

I can't believe none of the servers remember my father.

The hostess did say there were a lot of servers off tonight. It doesn't exactly

help that they don't keep regular hours.

Hey, uh, excuse me.

Have you ever seen this man before? He comes in a lot on Thursday nights.

Yeah, of course. Uh, drives a Jag.

Always comes up the lady with dark hair.

Good tipper.

And you say they come in together every Thursday?

Yeah. Well, no, they arrive separately, but he always pays for her car, too.

And what type of car does she drive?

Red SUV, leather interior.

Did he ever mention her name?

Look, nobody's going to know the information came from you. You're not

get in trouble.

The man in the photo, it's my father, and I desperately need to know more

the woman he was...

Doing dating.

Guess I'm not the only one with a complicated father.

Mine's been married four times.

Look, I don't know her name, but I know where she works.

How? There's a sticker, like a parking pass for employees on the windshield.

Where from?

Truxton Medical Center.

Okay, thank you so much.

Hey.

What's wrong?

Do you know who it is?

It can't be.

So your dad was having an affair with Michael's wife, his own sister -in -law.

Sure seems that way.

You didn't see what kind of car Kelsey was driving at the funeral, did you?

No.

Let's go find out.

It looks like the car.

Let's go see if it has a sticker on it, okay?

Okay.

Yep.

That's the parking pass.

I can't believe that she would do this.

That he would do this to his own brother.

Amy?

Three to now.

I guess we asked her if she was sleeping with my father.

I was seeing your father.

We would meet up once a week on Thursday nights when Michael was playing

racquetball.

How long had the affair been going on?

Two. Three years before I told Michael I wanted a divorce, I was in love with

someone else.

He asked me so many times who it was, but of course I never told him.

Were you planning on being together?

Trevor would talk about it at that time, that he wanted to divorce Sarah and

marry me, but I knew he wouldn't.

I was content with the little time I had with him.

I know it's hard to comprehend.

How could I do that to Michael?

But you don't know what it was like living with him.

He'd disappear for days at a time.

But that was better than when he came home drunk.

I was scared of him when he drank. He could be angry and violent.

It was that.

There's no other way to describe it, and Trevor could understand that.

One of the first reasons I started seeing him alone was to get advice on

deal with his brother. How could you come between two brothers like that?

Dad and Michael were so close. Between them?

Michael despised Trevor.

Trevor brought him down every chance he got.

Embarrassed him all the time.

Michael gave him plenty of reason to.

Your father constantly had to fix Michael's screw -ups. Did Michael ever

out about the affair?

I didn't.

realize he had, but I think so.

When?

I don't know.

Wait.

I'm confused. How did you know that he knew?

I'm not sure exactly.

But you are sure.

There's something you're not telling us. No, I'm not. Please.

An innocent woman is sitting in prison right now for something she didn't do.

If you believe that Michael could have anything to do with Trevor's murder,

You need to tell us.

I miss your father.

I miss him just as much as anyone else.

It's my fault.

If we hadn't had the affair, Trevor would still be alive.

What do you mean?

You didn't say it outright, but I got a sense that he's the one who did it.

Okay, you need to tell us exactly what he said.

Kelsey, you need to go to the police with this.

No, I've caused Michael enough pain. I just want all of this to go away.

Kelsey, we're talking about the man that you loved.

Don't you want to see my father's murder solved?

Of course.

But if the police find evidence and a reason to arrest him, it won't be

of me.

Well, what about doing the right thing?

Legally, I'm still married to Michael. And I don't have to testify against my

husband.

There's nothing to say to make me change my mind.

She believes he did it.

Yeah, but you heard her.

She refuses to go to the police.

Besides what he said wasn't exactly a confession.

Then we need to find proof of the affair. It gives Michael motive.

Come on.

Yeah, we have a problem.

What's so urgent?

I think Sarah's daughter's on to us.

What makes you think that?

She and Amy were over at Kelsey's.

How do you know that?

Kelsey told you?

No, I, uh... I saw them there.

You were at Kelsey's?

No. Yes, but... I... I just wanted to make sure she was alone, okay? She

know I was there.

Whatever. I mean, it's not important. The point is, they were there.

Both of them together.

Probably asking questions about me. So what?

Kelsey doesn't know anything, does she?

Does she? No.

But Ashley thinks that Sarah is innocent, and if they keep digging

They won't find anything.

What if they do?

What if you made a mistake?

I didn't.

And if you're thinking of bringing up what happened in the alley, don't.

No one would predict that your brother would jump me when I had a gun.

So do they find anything or not?

Not yet.

But I've known Amy her whole life, and she is smart.

Does Kelsey know something we're not?

No.

You need to stop.

The more you drink, the more of a liability you are to both of us.

You're going to the shops now?

Yeah. It's my neck that's on the line.

If you get wasted...

And whine to the wrong person about that affair.

Go up to your cabin and dry out for a few days.

Burn all those stupid photos of Trevor with your wife.

And get a goddamn grip.

You hear me?

I told you that?

That she thinks Michael hired someone and that she and Trevor were sleeping

together?

I am so sorry that we didn't believe you before, but we both believe you now.

Look, Sarah, obviously Michael is trying to frame you.

We think that if we can go to the police with proof of the affair... And maybe

they can convince Kelsey to talk. Or at the very least, take a little deeper

into his finances and see if he could have hired someone.

I always wondered if Trevor was being unfaithful.

I used to call his hotel room late at night and he wouldn't pick up the phone.

He always made it seem like the pills were making me paranoid.

It doesn't make sense it was Kelsey.

Is there anything you can think of that could help us prove to the cops that

they were sleeping together?

No.

I think he was quite successful at hiding his affair.

Maybe going through Dad's credit cards could yield something.

It helps to use gifts.

Listen to me. If Michael is capable of hiring somebody to murder his brother

framing me, he is way more dangerous than I imagined.

I'm worried you two are in over your heads.

If the police won't dig until they uncover the truth, then Amy and I will.

There's nothing here.

Kelsey said the affair went back three years, so maybe we just need to check

phone records from back then?

Hey, babe?

Sarah's just on the news.

Look at Channel 7 on your phone.

What? Why?

She pled guilty to Trevor's murder.

Seriously, why would she plead guilty?

Sarah's just trying to protect you.

It's probably the most selfless thing she's ever done.

I'm not saying Sarah did the right thing, but what you two are doing is

risky. But now she's screwed.

And that's why we need your help.

My help?

A check from Trevor to Michael.

Where did you get this?

We found it when we were going through my dad's stuff.

It wasn't uncommon for him to give Michael loans.

And if you look at the back, it has his account number and bank.

He banks at Western National.

Oh, no.

Ashley, absolutely not. If you were to just check and see if there were any

strange transfers or withdrawals... I am not going to put my career at risk for

something that probably won't yield anything useful anyway.

And sweetie, if Michael's smart, and it seems like he is, I mean, he's not going

to hire someone to murder his brother than pay him with a wire transfer.

We don't know what you'll find.

I'm just saying even the smallest thing could be helpful. The answer is no.

I mean, even Amy, who has literally every reason to side with Michael over

stepmother she can't stand, agrees.

I know you don't want me involved in all of this.

But I am.

And yes, it's because she's my biological mom, but I can't just sit

some innocent woman spend the rest of her life in prison for a murder she

commit.

You're asking me to break the law. No, I am just asking you to look.

Please.

I know it's Michael.

I know it's him.

Okay.

But if I don't find anything suspicious in his account, will you two just drop

this whole thing and let Sarah's attorney worry about getting her off?

Probably not.

I didn't think so.

So no cash withdrawals or transfers?

No, but those are payments he made to a mortgage company called Super Term

Loans. I did some research.

It's for a cabin up in Chambersburg.

And you think this could be important somehow?

I don't know, but it's interesting that Kelsey's name was never on the loan.

Remember when she said Michael would disappear for days at a time?

Maybe this is where he goes.

Does your dad know about it?

I doubt it. He would have mentioned it.

If he's hiding evidence of the murder or the affair...

or even of hiring the hit, there's a better chance that it's there than in

apartment here in Philly.

What do you think?

I think it's time for a road trip.

The address is in there.

Promise me you'll both be careful.

This is it.

Let's go check it out.

This one's on the table. I think he's here. We should really get going. Oh, my

God.

What are you doing here?

We were worried about you. Kelsey thought we should check up on you.

Just with the stress of losing your brother and the divorce and the

How do you know about this place?

We... How did you find this place?

I... We just... What are you really doing here?

This is all you, isn't it? Michael. Michael.

Michael, no.

Yeah.

Yeah, it is.

Michael. Just put the gun down. Yes, Michael. You think that I killed Trevor

you show up here trying to find evidence. It's not true.

Just put the gun down.

Yeah, it is. It's not true.

Michael.

Michael, just put the gun down. Not a chance. I am not letting this little

take me down. Not ever. Just put the gun down, Michael.

Michael, please just give me the gun.

Nicole?

It's just been shot. We're at his cabin. It's at 712 Waverly Lane.

It's about three miles off the highway.

Did you see it? No.

Just send an ambulance, please. Hurry.

There's no yes there. They're never going to be fine. It's not true,

Tell them it's a sucking chest wound about a quarter inch in diameter.

Amy, grab me a trash bag. I can flatulate anything, okay? It's a sucking

wound. Amy, I'm sorry.

Come on, Amy.

Who shot you?

Tell us, Michael. Who shot you? Please tell us.

What?

James Wilson.

James Wilson.

Why would he want to kill you?

Because he thinks I'll talk.

Is he the one who murdered my father?

Yeah, and I'm the only one who knows.

He's the only one who could have ran him out.

How do you know he murdered Trevor?

Because I hired him.

I hired him.

After years of your dad talking to me like an idiot and treating me like I was

some kind of moron.

He took the only thing that I ever loved.

So... We know. We know

about the affair.

It was supposed to happen the night we all went out for dinner.

But James messed up.

So I gave him the code to the alarm system and told him to do it at the

That it would be harder to bring Sarah.

But... It really wasn't.

Oh, God.

Please, just go on. No, Michael, I can save your life.

My life is over.

Please.

I won't be able to speak in a couple minutes. Let me say what I have to say.

Trevor, Trevor Woods.

He was a good -looking one, and everybody liked him.

When we went into bed together, I thought things would change, but

I could show him.

I could do just as well as he could, but he kept talking to me like it was a

charity case.

Like I was his idiot brother.

Oh, and I found out that he was sleeping with Kelsey.

And that she loved him.

Couldn't take it.

And it came from some friends years earlier.

And when he got out of prison, I gave him a call.

Amy.

Amy.

I am so sorry.

I had no right to take your father away from you.

And I had no right to do what I did to Sarah.

She was always good to me.

Can you please tell Sarah that I am sorry?

Tell Kelsey that I never stopped loving her.

Ashley. Detective.

Hi, I... I'm just waiting for them to release my mom.

Good.

I'm... I'm sorry.

We got this one wrong.

I know.

If it's any consolation, we were able to apprehend James Wilson about an hour

ago, trying to cross into Mexico.

Oh, my God, that's... that's great news.

Ashley?

Thank you so much for all you've done for me.

It wasn't just me, Mom. Amy was there the whole time.

We just knew we had to find out the truth.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you. Let's go.

Mom. Hi, I'm Sarah. Hi.

Thank you.
