Parker!

Want to know where the kids are?

I'll show you where they are.

I'll show you.

I'll show you where the kids are.

No! No!

Stop it! Stop! No! Please!

No!

Please! Help! Help me! Help me!

The trick is identifying the norm, or the pattern, and then when those

change. For example, your uncle, who's normally never on his phone, is now

suddenly checking it every 10 seconds.

Something is up.

Take mental notes. Don't be dismissive.

The good thing about investigative reporting is that we can inquire,

and then sit with all of the facts.

And then, when necessary, we can alert the authorities in the right direction.

Yes, Spencer.

If you're always trying to find these things that are wrong, how do you not

up going a little crazy?

That is a very good question. But I think the key is all about balance.

If your line of work involves a lot of darkness, then it's up to you to make

sure that you surround yourself with plenty of the opposite.

Bring those...

good people into your life and know when to turn your investigative brain

off.

But the hair on your arm starts to stand up.

Take note.

Oh, excuse me.

Excuse me.

Hey, excuse me.

Will you do me a little favor and tell Kate that I still have those lemons for

her? Sure thing, Harvey. Thank you. All right. It's nice seeing you.

Hi,

my little bugs. Come here. Oh, so I heard you had a half day today.

Ooh,

what about you?

Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Out of the kitchen.

Oh, my goodness. Hi.

Hi.

I saw Harvey talking to you.

Lemons again?

Oh, it was indeed.

Oh, before I forget, thank you in advance.

Thursday's just crazy with the new showing on Douglas.

I saw that.

Are you so excited?

Yes. I mean, I have no business starting a new career, but it's pretty great.

Well, I am honored to pick up these little bugs anytime.

Just make sure you let us know if it's ever too much.

You did not move here to become a babysitter.

Who knows? Maybe that's the exact reason I moved here.

Hey, hey.

Hey.

Thought I heard you come in.

Afternoon flight.

You need a ride to the airport?

No, they're sending a car.

That's a big trip to Tempe.

Where is that? Russia?

Parker, you know you're not supposed to talk about his covert secret mission.

I'm sorry. Management consulting isn't exciting enough for you two?

So glad you moved here. So my sister and my wife can team up on me in person.

How's it going with Chris?

When's your next date?

It is tonight, actually.

So it's going well? I think so.

But we are taking things flu.

Make sure and give him a chance?

Right.

Not every guy's like that other idiot.

I'm going to give him a chance.

Hey, I was so rude.

I didn't offer you lemons.

Oh, thank you so much.

Okay, you can put those in water or you can freeze them for later.

That is good to know. Thank you.

By chance, do you ever go by the name Alyssa?

Nope. Hmm.

This tall man came by looking for Annalisa.

Thought it might have been you.

Nope. Well, have a good day.

Thanks, Harvey.

You too. Have a good one. Bye -bye.

I know you're joking, but that's actually my favorite part.

Working with the soil, plants, rocks, integrating forms with nature.

Sorry, that probably sounds really cheesy. No, not at all.

But what you're saying is that rocks are better to work with than people.

It's true.

But I can't argue with that.

Your work with people must be intense.

Yeah, but honestly, since my pivot to teaching, it's just been great.

I get to, like, I don't know, it kind of feels like cheating, almost.

Geek out over that kind of stuff without, you know, always anticipating

worst all the time.

Sounds like it would be a lot.

So tell me about your most challenging case.

You know, if it's not too much.

No, not at all.

I assume you've heard the name of that gaffer. Of course.

The... Carousel killer. Yeah.

So I was working on a report that led to an open investigation.

And then I started noticing all of these overlooked details.

And then I got a little too involved.

Which is great because it led to his arrest, but it was bad

because things got messy.

But it's okay now?

For the most part, yeah.

But after he was sent to prison, he started harassing me from the inside.

He would write me all of these letters, and then his fans started leaving these

really creepy things on my doorstep.

Sounds awful.

Yeah, but it hasn't happened for a very long time now.

So, yes, I'd have to say that rocks are far better to work with than people.

Chris walked me outside, walked me to my car the whole way, and he did kiss me,

but he kissed me here.

Here.

I don't know.

We're taking things slow, and I look at it like this.

We're both recovering.

He's recovering from his divorce, and I'm recovering from... Jesse.

Jesse.

But you did get the feeling that he wanted to kiss you, kiss you.

Yes, I did.

That's good.

Beaumont Family Real Estate. This is Kay.

Yes, that's the property.

Oh, that's so funny.

Who?

No, I wouldn't know that.

It's okay.

Bye.

Is everything okay?

Yes, Pam called. You guys keep playing.

So annoying.

So, how'd it go with this Chris guy?

He's a botanist? No, he's a landscape architect.

And actually, Chris was telling me...

How do you want to

get it?

We're about to lift it.

I'll call him back.

Mm -hmm.

Sorry, Parker, go ahead. You were saying about Chris?

Yeah, I...

I'm so sorry.

It's just stressful.

Are you okay?

So Chris is a landscape architect, so he'll design parks, or he was actually

commissioned to build an atrium.

David, don't go get these.

It's all right. It is just going to be a salesman. Do not go there. I'll keep it

short. David.

Hey, Harvey. Oh, hey, David. Good evening.

I don't mean to interrupt or anything, but I just wanted to let you know.

Harvey.

Watch if you can be a handful.

I just wanted you to know, just in case you heard some noise, you knew exactly

what I was doing.

I hope you hear cries in the night like I do.

Do you hear the children, Parker?

Do you hear them?

They're calling you.

Help! Help!

Help me, Parker.

Help me.

Thank you for watching.

Hey, Kate.

You seen Harvey?

We've been neighbors for five years.

Gave us a lot of his lemons.

Checked on the house when we were away.

And I can't say for sure, but he did sometimes prune that tree from his roof

he wasn't the most dirty.

She's being respectful.

He did stuff like this a lot.

Well, it looks like he fell from his roof and hit his head on the way down.

Terrible luck.

Terrible luck?

How can you be so sure about that?

We've run a background check on him, ma 'am. It's going to take some time. Was

anybody else involved?

Well, we're processing his file right now. Can you be sure that nobody else

there? Look, it seems very clear that he... This is my sister, Parker

He was an investigative reporter.

Okay, then she understands that it's early days.

Thank you.

We'll let you know if we need your expertise.

Sometimes, your instincts will scream at you even before the facts line up.

That is often where the story begins.

Woo!

That's the spirit.

Your gut, that can lead you to a story, but that's not a source.

Once you have a hunch, it is up to you to prove it with facts.

Hey, thanks for passing. Hey, see you next week.

Hey,

Kate, what's up? Surprise pizza party.

Figured with David out of time, why not spend Friday night together?

Maybe watch a movie?

Movie! Movie!

Movie!

I had the idea I was going to text, but we overplan so much these days, so I

just went for it. You know? Be bold.

And, um, kids might have been a little freaked out when we tried to explain

Harvey to them.

And I might be a little creeped out, too. You know, empty house and all.

Well, I'm glad you were bold.

Hey, kids, what if we turn tonight into a sleepover?

Huh? Who wants to have fun?

Well, if that's the case, definitely open this. Oh, definitely.

Oh, my gosh.

So, um, that's Gus.

That's the, uh, the neighborhood raccoon.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh.

Uh, do you, um, do you want to finish that wine? Yes. Wine is good.

Okay, okay. Let's go finish that wine.

Whew.

Kate?

Is there something going on?

What do you mean?

Is everything okay?

Are you afraid of something?

I guess I'm still a little worked up over Harvey.

Poor guy. No, that's not what I'm talking about.

I mean, like, 15 minutes ago, it's as if you were expecting something to happen.

I can see how it might have seemed that way.

I've been particularly overwhelmed with the new listing and the new career,

and... Everything.

Okay.

Just going to put this out there that if there is something going on, you can

always tell me.

I might be able to help.

I really appreciate you saying that. Thank you.

But everything's okay.

Okay.

David and I are so happy you're here.

It's been such a blessing for our family.

We love you.

Camila's Cafe.

How can I help you?

Sorry, wrong number.

No,

that makes sense for a spam call.

Let's try this again.

Hello? Who is this?

Hi, this is Denise.

I'm looking for Fred Halstead, CPA.

I don't think you're trying to reach Fred Halstead, CPA.

Where are you?

Your number says you're in Atlanta, but you're not in Atlanta, are you?

Parker. I ordered for you.

Now taste it.

Good.

But not as good as Teddy's.

Everything okay?

Yeah, I just, uh, I thought I saw somebody, but, um...

I was wrong.

So, how was your trip? Uneventful, which is good.

What?

Have you noticed anything strange about Kate lately?

Yeah, she mentioned you expressed concern.

David, you should have seen the look on her face when you answered the door the

other day.

Yeah.

I think this whole transition back to her working has been pretty stressful

her.

I don't know.

It's just been really strange.

So, figured I would ask.

You know what I think?

I think you've gotten used to playing the role of the protective sister.

You remember in the beginning, right?

You didn't even like Kate.

And now look, when we're together, I'm the third wheel.

You're right.

I know.

He sacrificed a lot when Mom died.

All I ever do is try to think of ways that I can make that up to you.

So please, don't worry.

Okay? I'm good.

We're good.

Everything's fine.

Okay?

Okay. Okay.

You're right. It's not as good as Teddy's. Right?

I told you. You had one shot. I'm picking a place from now on.

What's your emergency?

Hi, I think someone broke into my house.

Okay, where are you located?

291 Willow Street.

And what's your name?

Parker.

Parker Beaumont.

Okay, got it. Parker, someone is on their way right now, okay?

Okay. Thank you.

Were you able to find a safe spot, maybe a locked car or a neighbor's house?

Yeah, I think so.

They told me to let them know if there's any further escalation.

What you told them about last time, right?

That it went on for over a year?

Yep.

And then they asked if there were any dangerous or violent occurrences, and

technically there weren't.

How the hell did he locate your new address?

I thought Zach Gaffin was in prison.

Yeah, he is.

This has got to be the work of a...

demented fan of his or at least somebody following his instructions.

I know that was a really hard time for you.

It's just odd.

You know?

It's really odd.

Like, is this a threat?

Or a sinister hello?

What do the carousel horses mean?

They are his signature.

He used them to lure in the kids and then...

The night he got arrested, he just... He likes a theme.

Wait a second, that night.

The date's the third.

Three years ago today.

Like he's saying happy anniversary or something.

You know, I'm not going to give Gaffin the reaction that he wants.

That's the only way to get him to stop.

I've got to figure out how to get the bottom of this without alerting him.

You're not going to go to Jesse, are you? I might have to.

I'm not going to give Gaffin that satisfaction.

I'm not going to let this unwind me.

I just won't.

Well, either way, you should stay with us tonight.

You need to get this by the end of the day, okay? Not next week, okay? By the

end... End of day,

okay? Appreciate you, man.

Parker! Hey, Jesse.

Hey. How you doing?

Um... I, um... I need to ask you something.

Oh, okay.

It's about...

Uh, Zach Gaffin.

I was afraid you'd ask that.

He hasn't reached out again, has he?

Yeah.

I need to know if there are any friends or associates of his of any kind, like,

on the inside that have recently been released.

There has to be an explanation why this all picked up suddenly.

I mean, off the top of my head?

I mean, I can look into it for you. Oh, that would be great.

Thanks. Um, but there, uh, there's something else.

And he was wearing one of these, uh, southwestern, um, what's that called?

Bolo tights. And he looked like he was a villain from a movie.

I don't know.

Am I just imagining things?

Um, let's take a look.

Tall guy.

Solo tie.

Kate's frightened behavior.

Deceased neighbor.

See, it's all over the place.

I can see how tall guy could relate to Gaffin.

I wouldn't put it past him to have somebody follow me around and freak me

And I would be on brand.

Yeah, but what I don't understand is what Kate and Harvey have to do with

Gaffin.

Other than the fact that they happened all at the same time.

You know, there is such a thing as coincidence, Parker.

But you don't think so.

I don't know if Gaffin somehow figured out that I had moved to live closer to

family.

Then he would figure out that the best way to get to me is by messing with

I don't know it yet, but I just feel it in my gut that this is all connected.

You were always one to second guess your gut.

Your instincts are good, Parker.

You should listen to him.

You know, I left this world so that I wouldn't have to anticipate the next

thing happening.

I left so that I could keep this at bay.

And now I'm worried that it found me out anyways.

Hey.

It wouldn't be your fault.

Right?

So you're not going to see Gavin, are you?

No.

Good.

Well, I'll see what I can dig up for you in the meantime.

Thanks.

So we've narrowed it down.

Okay, I would be happy to split either of these. Now, the cheesecake, that's

easier to share, but... I don't know, that custard looks pretty good.

I'm getting custard leaning vibes.

Must do.

We will do the custard, please.

Coming right up.

Oh, two spoons, please.

Certainly. Thank you.

Should have got the cheesecake.

No.

I don't want you to look now, but there is a man who is sitting at the bar. He

has really long hair.

And he's wearing a bolo tie.

Yeah, I see him. Okay, so he was standing in the back of my class the

Like, he was staring at me.

And then I'm certain that I saw him earlier today.

Wait, you're serious?

Yes. I think he's following me, and I don't know why.

Maybe not.

See, he's not even sticking around.

Weird occurrences happening to me lately.

I'm worried about Kate.

Kate is my, she's my sister -in -law.

She's been acting really strange, like she's afraid or something.

I don't know, all of this makes it really difficult not to be on the

On our last date, you were talking about your former propensity to anticipate

the worst.

Mm -hmm.

Do you know about confirmation bias?

How you might unconsciously be favoring information that confirms your beliefs?

I know about confirmation bias.

Sorry, of course you do. I was just trying to make you feel better.

I like you.

And I don't want you to be afraid.

Thank you.

People don't trust their gut when they should.

Everything can be fine.

Until it's not.

I suppose that's true, too.

Good night.

Drive safe.

Good night.

I'm so sorry to bother you.

I was here earlier. I was sitting over there. And I think my scarf, it was on

purse. It might have fallen off here.

I remember.

Let me see if someone picked it up. Awesome. Thank you.

Seriously, thank you.

David, what is that?

Look, presents!

Can I get it?

No, you stay here, buddy.

You stay here.

We don't know what it is yet, so Daddy's going to go check it out.

No, there wasn't any sign of a break -in as far as I can tell.

But this is associated with a very dangerous person, so I need you to take

seriously.

Yes.

Humor me.

Thank you. Yes, have them call me back.

They're going to send someone to make a report.

I just can't believe this.

You guys can't be brought into this. I am so, so sorry.

You haven't done anything wrong.

And just like your past events, nobody's gotten hurt.

So I think we should all just take a breath.

Have you guys noticed anything?

Anybody following you?

No.

I just can't help but think that these all have to be linked.

I mean, what about Harvey?

Did anybody ever investigate that scene?

Not sure it was a scene.

What with Zach F and what with Harvey?

Maybe the exact same thing that's happening now.

Us.

Terrified.

Or maybe this is his way of saying that he's closing in.

Can you guys... Can you just promise me something?

That if you notice anything off or worrying, that you'll tell me?

Big or small?

Go there, speak to the sergeant, tell him what you said, right?

Yeah. Okay.

Thank you.

Hi. Checking in. Parker Beaumont.

Dear Beaumont, you missed me.

Now why would I miss you?

I seem to be back on your radar.

You're always on my radar.

Sometimes I think you're the only one who truly appreciates me.

You saw me at my best.

But I did think of you on our anniversary.

Who's acting on your behalf?

Is it one of your friends?

A demented fan, maybe?

You know, you used to be so eloquent.

These latest missives have been pretty disappointing.

Well, I'm sorry to have disappointed you.

One day my missive will be more profound.

One day?

You know, I think we converse all the time, actually.

I can feel you in the back of my leg when I walk.

And I like to think that you think of me when you hear the squeal of a child's

delight.

And you wonder if it's a cry for help.

But I didn't want our conversation to be so one -sided, so I wanted to say

hello.

Hello.

With the music box.

I like to think of our connection as open -ended.

I think it's going to hurt both of us when I have to end it.

End it?

How?

Well, you'll just get bored of it? Hey, hey, hey.

Look at me.

I don't get much joy in this life, but what I do enjoy is knowing that you'll

always be afraid.

I enjoy the daydreaming of that one little moment on a bright, sunny spring

when you'll pop out of your cute little brownstone and come strutting down the

steps to your cute little mailbox with a birdie on it and you'll catch a glimpse

of a little handwritten missive.

From yours truly.

I enjoy the thought of you stumbling across the smell of

rusty metal and it choking you, making you remember all of those cries that you

wanted to stop but you couldn't.

And how you almost met your own end that day.

And furthermore, I'll enjoy ushering you there at the end.

I don't get bored, bitch!

I

thought

you weren't going to go see him, Parker. I had to.

He brought my family into this.

I don't know, I thought maybe I could get a shred of information or convince

to stop or turn his focus back onto me.

Did it work?

Except I don't think it's him.

In his final rant, he kept talking about me emerging out of my brownstone.

In the mailbox with the bird on it.

That's my old place.

I don't think he knows I moved. But if it was some third party on Gaffin's

behalf... I mean, it's possible that he would be out of the loop, but that is

highly unlikely.

Gaffin relishes in all the...

fine details and little flourishes of things, he wouldn't carelessly get them

wrong.

Also, he didn't even mention Kate or David, and he definitely would have.

By the way, 212 number?

It's a burner.

Might be your tall man.

I don't know, but he's definitely following me.

Oh, I, um... I also took a...

A few pictures of some credit card receipts, and one of them has to be his.

Okay, that'll be good.

I'll take a look at it for you.

Thank you.

Why does it feel like you're trying to fan the plane?

What?

I'm not.

I'm just trying to protect you guys. From danger that your past brought

literally to our doorstep.

I'm sorry.

I'm just really scared.

I'm scared for my husband. I'm scared for my kid.

You have to understand.

You just dig and dig, creating elaborate theories.

It's starting to feel invasive, like you're just missing your old work.

Let the police do their job. The police aren't doing enough, Kate.

All right.

It's late. We're tired. We're stressed.

Let's just...

Start fresh in the morning.

Auntie Parker, want to read our book?

It was already Thursday, and Harmony Harmon woke up to the smell of rain.

Harmony knew very well that her sense of direction was faulty at

best.

So you think she might have something to do with Harvey's death?

No, not at all. I think she's behaving like someone who's afraid.

Yeah, maybe.

I got some information on your tall man.

Retired police investigator.

Out of the Minneapolis area.

Also, went through those credit card receipts.

I think I found where he's staying.

But please don't do anything stupid.

Talk of Beaumont.

Bob Willingham?

It's been less my aim to follow than surveil both you and your sister -in

It's Kate, right?

I'm not sure how I feel about giving you that information.

Back at the restaurant the other night, I hung back just so I could talk with

you after your date left.

Have you seen this man?

No Who is he what do I need to know?

This is my number if you see him you call me Why

are you going through all this trouble for me and Kate well like you guys to be

an investigator I'm just trying to piece all this together But if I were you

I wouldn't trust anyone right now.

Can you tell me if this has anything to do with Zach Gaffin?

No. But I know your connection to the case.

And that was some great work.

But trust me on this.

If this guy shows up, it's bad news.

If you see him, you call me.

Okay?

Okay.

Okay.

So, who's Calvin?

Calvin? What are you talking about?

You were having quite the dream last night.

Kept saying the name Calvin.

Well, lucky for you, I don't know a Calvin.

Good morning.

How did you sleep?

I slept okay. Just not a weird dream.

Hmm. Kate was having weird dreams, too.

I think she saw someone new.

Some guy named Calvin.

I made snacks if you want some before you go.

Thank you.

And I'm really sorry about last night.

It's just been a lot.

I know.

I should probably let you guys know that, um...

Jesse has opened an investigation into Harvey's death.

It just seems like unnecessary chaos.

What?

It's the opposite of chaos.

If Harvey's death was accidental, well, that's exactly what they're going to

find.

Look, I know that you guys have a family and you're scared, but don't you want

all of the information?

Parker?

Everything you're doing is just making things worse.

You know what?

I just have to say, I think that you're really scared of something, and I just

wish that you would let me help.

Hey, Bob, it's Parker.

I really need to talk to you, so give me a call back when you can.

David. Hey, Parker.

I'm really sorry about all of the... I know, I know. That's not why I'm

Okay. Kate had some real estate emergency, and she can't pick up the

it'll take me an hour to get there from here. Do you happen to be close by?

Yeah, absolutely. I'm like 10 minutes away. I'd be happy to help.

Okay, great. Sorry, I don't know if you're at work or what you're doing,

No, no, no. I can step away.

I'll take them to the house, okay?

Okay, great.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for waiting.

It's not a problem at all.

David said you were on your way.

It's very odd that Katie didn't show.

Is she okay? I'm sure it was something that was just unavoidable.

Thank you, again.

Bye, guys.

Bye -bye. See you tomorrow.

I planted an oak snapper, and I bet it's... Oh, my goodness.

Afternoon. Good afternoon, sir.

All right, kiddos.

We're gonna make some snacks, okay? But I need you to put up your backpacks, all

right?

Who is it?

Oh, um, hi.

My name is Matt.

I'm a parent with Sweet Auburn Preschool. I have some stuff I was

drop off for Kate.

Yeah, I was supposed to meet up with her. Is she... She's not around?

No.

Is that Max and Irene?

Our kids are friends.

I know Wendy and Sam. They're in the same playgroup.

Listen, Kate's not here right now. She'll probably come back another time.

I could just wait inside now.

You're not really going to make me wait outside?

Is this necessary?

Get away from me right now. I'm going to the police.

Go ahead. Call them.

You're making a big mistake.

Come on. We're going to go see the police, okay?

I'm just looking for Kate.

Go sit down. Hello?

Go sit down.

I'm going to be okay. I'm going to be okay.

I just want to drop this off.

No more snow globes?

Carousel horses.

No. All right, I think we have all we need here. Let us know if you see this

again, and we'll follow up with this Bob William.

Thanks. Of course.

Oh, my God, are you okay?

Are the kids okay?

Yeah, they didn't see anything scary. But where is Kate?

Is everything okay?

Yeah, she had a last -minute work emergency.

Come on, let's get a drink.

David, I need to talk to you about something.

Okay.

I have reason to believe that all of these weird and crazy things that keep

happening might have something to do with Kate.

I've been trying to tell you this before, but it all started that night of

really weird phone call.

And then there was this detective, Bob Willingham.

And he's the one that told me that Kate might be in danger.

And that picture that he showed me, that was that guy that was here this

afternoon.

Then this morning, you saw her face.

She does not want the police to look into Harvey.

So, that being said, I'm just asking, you might

have some small detail that might be able to help.

You know her.

You're with her every single day.

Is there something suspicious or anything that has happened that doesn't

line up?

Yes.

Things have been different.

Since you arrived, he and I are worried about you.

Your stories about this detective, they seem bizarre and made up.

We even wondered if maybe you staged the break -in and planted the music boxes.

I don't know, as a way to be taken seriously or to be seen or validated.

But if you're implying what I think you're implying about Harvey... David,

might not be the dangerous one. Kate might be the one in danger.

That man that was here this afternoon, he was so aggressive. The man.

From the picture shown to you by the mysterious detective?

Well, for what it's worth, I ran this all by Jesse, and he agrees with me that

something just doesn't add up here.

Your ex -boyfriend.

What a reliable source.

You know, Kate and I were just talking about asking you for a little bit of

space.

I think this is a good example of the fact that you should occupy yourself

your own life, not ours.

And your need to turn... everything into some dark investigation, it's not only

unfounded, it's unhinged.

Unhinged.

Parker?

Parker!

Hey, what's up?

Hey.

Listen, I got some unsettling news for you.

Bob Willingham was shot to death at his hotel.

Oh, my God.

When? Two days ago.

It's got to be that guy from the photo.

That's about the time that he showed up.

You know, Bob was keeping a picture of him on him.

You should try to get a copy.

Already on it.

Also, looks like David is picking up the kids again today.

There's still no sign of Kate.

And I did talk to David.

And he's very angry with me. And he said I'm unhinged.

I'm sorry, Parker.

Maybe he just needs a little time, you know, to process all this information.

Yeah.

Maybe.

Such a bad date last time.

Thought I'd bring you a better one.

So rocks are better than people.

Hey, look, I'm really sorry. I was meaning to return your call, but I

This week has been a week.

I really am sorry.

You were sharing something, and I didn't realize how dismissive I was sounding

until later.

No. I know.

You were just trying to help.

I was.

I was just terrible at it.

I'm sorry.

Did you ever end up seeing Bolo Time Man again?

No, it turned out to be nothing.

So, how's your sister -in -law, Kate, doing?

I'm not sure, to be honest.

I think you were saying Kate acting strange and the guy who was following

could be connected.

Turned out just to be confirmation bias.

That's all. Did you ever end up talking to her about it or your brother?

Did anyone come looking for her?

I don't think that I mentioned anyone looking for her.

Oh, um, I guess it was just implied.

Sorry, I guess I'm still...

Making up for our last date and trying to ask questions instead of leaping to

problem solving.

You know what? It's getting kind of late and I do have to get back.

Okay, cool. I'll give you a ride.

No, I'm just going to walk.

It's right around the corner.

Don't be silly. Let me drive you. It'll be safer. I do it all the time. I just

need some air. Okay.

Okay. Thank you. It's great.

Could it have been your date?

You did say you were hesitant on him driving you home, getting in his car.

Thank you.

I mean, he was just asking a lot of really weird questions about Kate.

But he drives a truck, and I don't think that that was a truck.

I don't know. It just happened really fast.

Okay, so let's round up all of our suspects, right?

Who could have killed Bob Willingham?

That guy from the photo.

Who also hasn't shown back up, by the way. Yeah, but what about Kate? Who's

suddenly fallen off the radar.

Yeah, well, maybe she fell off the radar for something much worse.

She could be in the same boat as Bob.

Well, I was able to open an investigation into Harvey's death.

I mean, it's got to get us something.

Yeah, or maybe it'll just lead us to the fact that it was an accident.

And maybe the music boxes were just harmless pranks.

And maybe the only evil thing that happened was Bob's death.

Maybe that has nothing to do with my family at all.

And Bob died because he was looking for trouble. No, no, Parker, someone tried

to kill you. Yeah, but they didn't.

So maybe I need to stop looking for trouble, too. And then what?

Is this going to go away?

No, no, I think we should take a hard look at... I just really need this.

to not be happening for like a minute.

Please.

Please.

Is this the man that showed up at the front door?

Yes.

That's Calvin.

Wait, that was the name that you were saying in your sleep.

My ex -husband.

A very dangerous and abusive man.

To get away from him, I disappeared completely.

Created a new identity and a life a thousand miles away.

And I was so lucky to meet your brother and fall in love and have our babies.

Suddenly my new pretend life became my real life.

A really good one.

Calvin has tracked me down.

He is relentless.

So, so David thinks that you're on a work trip?

Yeah, but I don't know how long I can keep that out.

Parker, I am so sorry I had to treat you like you were imagining things.

It's okay.

Your instincts were right all along. I am sure that phone call was one of

Calvin's guys.

Trying to confirm it was me. Then I thought I was in the clear.

Until you told me about the detective.

I mean, all of this tracks with everything that he said.

It's even possible Calvin hired him to find me.

Makes sense. They'd want to be certain they had me.

Kate, that detective was murdered a few days ago.

Calvin doesn't like loose ends.

I can't believe that you went through all of this.

I wish that you would have let me help you.

I was hoping I could fix everything and David wouldn't have to find out.

So, what's your real name?

It's Alyssa.

You know, Harvey was asking me if I ever went by the name Alyssa.

Oh, my.

God, they were trying to get information from him.

So you wanted to help me?

Now's the time.

And I hate to ask you this.

Please don't tell David.

I'll just try to be a hero.

I understand.

You know that, like, side property that's been on the market forever?

Mm -hmm.

I'll be there.

What? What is it?

Calvin has a lot of guys who work for him, so I'd be wary of anyone who's

surfaced recently.

How's your sister -in -law, Kate? I think you were saying that Kate acted

strange and the guy who was following you could be connected.

Did anyone come looking for her?

Hey, I was just about to call you.

I have an update.

Yeah, so do I.

I hope it's okay.

I dug into Kate a little.

You're not gonna like it.

Kate, a .k .a. Catherine Martin.

I just spoke to Kate.

Wait, what?

Real name?

Alyssa. She's been using a false identity to escape from her abusive ex

-husband, the same Calvin.

She's been keeping it a secret so that she can stay hidden from him. What?

Well, what about the music boxes? I mean, all the other stuff. It's not

up.

When did you speak with her?

Fifteen minutes ago.

She needs my help in keeping the family safe while she hides out and pretends

that she's taken off.

I don't know, Parker. That sounds incredibly sloppy.

Especially for someone who's hidden so well for so long. And if Calvin is so

dangerous... Why would she leave her family behind?

Honestly, I think she's in way over her head.

She's literally making herself a target to save her family. Hey, Parker, I

really want you to think this through. I have.

I'm going to take the kids to my aunt's, and then I'm going to go to the police.

And if they won't help me with Calvin, then I'll just find him myself. No, no.

You take the kids, okay?

You let me worry about finding Calvin.

Sure.

Thanks again, Cindy, so much. Seriously.

All right. Bye, bugs. Be good. Bye.

I'm just calling to say hi, and it's going to be another day here.

Maybe two, but I'll see you really soon.

I okayed Parker to pick up the kids today.

She's taking them to your aunt's since I figured you could use the help.

I'll see you soon.

Love you.

Bye.

Hi, it's Kate. Leave me a message.

Honey, what is going on?

Please call me back.

Please tell me what's really happening.

I love you.

Calvin, it's me.

I can't keep running from you.

It's time we sort this out in person.

Hey. Hi, Parker.

Just checking in. Is everyone okay?

Yeah.

I'm actually situated a little ways down from your house right now, just in case

Calvin drops by.

Listen, Parker, I just wanted to say if for some reason the worst happens, will

you please tell my kids how much I love them?

And help David understand that I didn't want to lie to him.

I'm just trying to keep everyone safe.

Kate.

You're not about to do something stupid, are you? No, just sitting here in this

place, alone, thinking, you know? Kate, you're really starting to worry me.

Sorry, Parker.

I gotta go.

Hey, Jesse, I don't know if you can hear me, but I'm headed up to that lake

house. I don't know. I think Kate is probably... Dang it.

You know, for the first week, I was still optimistic.

But after a month, it was pretty clear where your loyalties weren't.

I would sit around on the inside and just dream about the day when I could

you pay.

Don't come any closer.

Calvin, put the gun down, okay?

You don't want to go back to prison, Calvin.

I don't care.

Does she know who you are?

This shell of a person murdered my brother and then framed me for it.

And then you disappeared.

And you left me to rot.

She thought I would never get out.

Thought I could never find her. Thought she had outsmarted me. But there were

flaws.

The facts didn't add up, and they let me out.

And now I find you here, in this sweet, syrupy little life, and I can't wait to

make you suffer!

He was threatening me.

Calvin, I was scared.

I don't care about going back to prison.

But he never was.

Oh, my God.

Stop.

Don't get any closer.

Get up.

Kate, what the...

You know this is all your fault, right?

Things could have been so much easier.

Yeah, I killed his brother.

Idiot.

I was hiding from a dangerous life.

I was younger.

Weak. Scared.

Then I got out.

I survived.

Calvin here was a means to an end.

But then, not unlike you, his brother got suspicious.

Started sniffing around, found an old ID.

Oh, he was so excited to rat me out.

So I did what I had to do to survive.

It was easier than I thought.

Then I met your brother and built a new life.

And I think this could be my new life.

David.

The kids.

Even you.

But Calvin here...

Wouldn't let that happen.

And neither would you.

I could have handled this quietly on my own, but you had to keep digging.

I wanted to save you.

I even planted those music boxes so you would look in the opposite direction.

But no.

You are the reason Harvey is dead!

This tall man came by looking for Annalisa. Thought it might have been

So I had to tie up this and then some investigator clinging to some

old case was going to lead Calvin and the police right to me?

Running you over wasn't going to work out.

So, um, I think it's going to disappear again.

No.

Because I realized that your relentlessness and your need to look out

provided me with a better option.

You see, your determined digging has left little breadcrumbs for all to

witness.

Leading you to that fateful moment where you rush to the aid of your sister -in

-law against a violent criminal.

But things get a little messy.

I think he shoots you in the stomach.

And as you're bleeding out, you're able to deliver that one final blow.

I didn't want it to work out like this.

I tried.

I really liked you.

Kate, can you just... Can you promise me that you'll take really good

care of David and the kids?

I know that you love them.

I know you really do.

Of course.

If anything, I should thank you.

Slow!

Slow.

Hands up.

Alyssa James, aka Kate Beaumont, you're under arrest for murder.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law.

You have the right to an attorney.

If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.

Parker.

I knew I had you to thank for this.

Oh, my poor brother.

Mike, where do you even go from here?

That's who I came to speak to.

Man, we put the pieces together.

He was the one who knew where this was.

I tried to stop him, but you know your brother.

Yeah.

He broke out of here.

Um... Thank you.

For everything.

It's the least I could do.

All right.

I'll see you around.

Okay.

Thank you, thank you.

Come

here.

Hey, guys.

Hey, you.

Need a little help?

I'm going to let you guys lift all the heavy things.

Got this? Fair enough.

Lift with your back, not your legs.

All right. It looks better from back here for me. Hey, Max, you want to give

a hand?
