God does not view sin
in different levels.

That was a creation of man.

Did you come up with that?

No. Someone else. A writer.

I'm sorry.

Tony, the car is here.

You've been standing at that
window, staring at it all night.

Emily, hon, I got it.

Just meet me in the lobby.
I'll be a minute. Okay?

Sure.

Danny, what the hell.

Hello.

- Is Tony there?
- Yes, he is.

But we're on vacation and we're
actually trying to get away from things.

Can't this wait
until we get back?

I'd rather not, ma'am.
It's an urgent matter.

It's Logan. He says he needs
to talk to you right away.

I think you should take it before
he has a stroke or something.

Hey, Tony... Sir.

There's a reason why my cell phone is off.
Now make it quick.

We have dinner reservations
in 15 minutes.

Sorry to bother you,
but I'm kind of freaked out.

I'm not sure what to do.

What's this all about, Logan?

Well, I met with Danny last
night at Belleau Street store.

He, uh... He told me to come
with him to his house and...

uh, wait in the garage
until he needed my help.

So, you know, uh, I did
that, but then I fell asleep.

I don't know what Danny did,
but he woke me up this morning,

told me I had to leave
right away, so I did.

But he was acting real...
strange, spooky, you know?

- I... I think
you ought to call him.

- Tony.
- Bill.

Really glad I reached you.
I need a big favor.

Danny left me a really
strange message last night.

I need you to get ahold of him.

You got it, bud.

Yeah, I'm in my truck right now. I'm
heading to the gym, so I'll just swing by.

I'll call you back
in a few minutes.

I'm sure everything is okay.

Yeah, I'll check it out.

Ciao, boss. Hey, stop worrying.

Jeez.

I have a bad feeling this time.

Danny? Rachel? Is anybody home?

You've reached Rachel.

- Danny.
- Evan.

And Christopher.

Please leave a message.

Hello. Danny?

Rachel. Anybody home?

Hey, it's Bill Schroeder.
Can you let me in?

Chris, where are
your mom and dad?

- Go.
- Watch it, watch it.

- Go.
- Take the shot.

Nice shot.

Airball.

Uh, ball in.

Attack! Attack!

Junior.

Go, you go! We good! We good!

You have a good day,
buddy, all right?

Have a good soccer game.
Score a goal for me.

- See ya.
- All right.

- Bye, sweetheart.
- Bye, Mom.

Bye, guys!

Embarrassing, dude.

Over here, over here!

Ooh.

Hey, how was your morning?

Amazing.
Just heading to the office.

You sound out of breath.

Yeah.

I almost missed Joey and Luke's pickup
this morning, I'm running so late.

Gotcha.

Hey, did, uh... Did Danny call?
He didn't... He didn't show up.

Frankie, sweetheart.
It's time to go.

Uh...

No. No messages.
Not that I know of.

I'm sorry. I'm trying to
get Frankie out the door.

Okay. Yeah, hun.
No worries, babe.

You got a couple minutes for
one of your amazing pep talks?

- I need to nail this thing.
- Yes, of course.

- Uh, what time are they due in?
- Two hours.

We have an hour to pitch
the, uh, entire design package.

Need ten minutes, tops, babe.

You're my biggest fan.

Yeah, speaking of biggest fan,

Rachel called, left a message while
we were at dinner the other night,

and, um, she passed
her real estate exam,

so we are going to go out
this weekend and celebrate.

Well, then maybe we'll all have
something to celebrate this weekend.

Hey, I'm just pulling up now.

Okay, sweetheart. You got this.

- Love you.
- I love you.

- Okay.
- I'm ready to go, Mom.

Bless your heart.

All right, stinker.
We got some work to do.

- Come with me.
- You don't like my shirt?

- Kate.
- Hey, Mitch. Support is ready.

Robert.

- Good to see you.
- Good to see you.

- How are you?
- Great.

Gentlemen,
how was your flight down from...

The way I see it, your account presents
many challenges. Am I right, Kate?

Tell me what you don't like
about Wholesome Grocer.

Better yet, I'll tell you.

Parking, pricing,
impulse stacking, clientele.

But you're not Wholesome Grocer, and that's
exactly what we want the consumer to know.

The second case,
we build Green Acres.

Not just a TV show.

Joanna.

Does your head hurt now?

Better, love.

The morning brought
a small sense of relief.

Thank you.

Perhaps you should
stay in bed today.

Maybe today is not your day.

But every day
is my day, you know that.

Just give me a minute.

Hey, Mom, where are you?
What's going on?

You need to sit down,
sweetheart.

It's about Danny and Rachel
and the boys.

What's going on?

They okay?

Rachel's gone.
And one of the boys and...

And Danny, too.

What do you mean, gone?

I just... I just heard
from Rachel last night.

The idea is to give the shop an
organic feeling without the...

crunchy granola feeling
mixing the...

Creative with the practical.

I'm so sorry.

Kate, can you take over?

Kate, I guess it's your floor.

Yeah, of course.

Danny killed Rachel

and one of the boys last night.

They found his car in the bottom of
the quarry down at St. Francisville.

Police think he drove it
off the edge on purpose.

Mm...

No, Mom,
you must be mistaken. I...

That's...

But they...

Honey, it's no mistake.

No.

Danny...

Danny would never
hurt the kids, so...

And...

And if... And if Rachel was...

If they were having problems,
Rachel would have told me.

So you're wrong.

All right. We're good now.
What's up?

Mitch.

Emily and I are on our way home
right now.

What happened?

It's Danny.

No.

No!

No...

Oh, no, no, no!

No!

No!

Oh, my God!

No, no, no, no, no!

No.

Carolyn?

Carolyn?

Listen, boys, there's something
we got to tell you and...

there's no easy way to say it.

And it's gonna sound awful.

What happened?

I think Danny was sick.

You know, like...

sick in the head, in his mind.

Breakfast.

And he... he hurt
Rachel and Evan very badly.

He... He...

He killed them.

And he... he couldn't
forgive himself, he...

He killed himself.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Thank you. All right,
make it so, boys.

All right, sir.

Mom?

Be right back.

Tuck Foxy in.

And then have Foxy tuck you in.

I love you.

Yeah. Thank you.

You, too.

Let's get you
straightened up here.

- Dad?
- Yes?

Are we all going to heaven?

I don't know.

- Good night, Mom.
- Good night, my love.

Good night. Hit the light.

We love you, buddy.

Oh, my God, please.

Hey, sweetie, it's Rachel.
What are you up to?

I'm about to go take my exam.

And I just was calling to get
one of your famous pep talks.

Also, it's raining here, and I was just
wondering if it's raining there, too.

It's really nasty here.

Joanna?

Where you going?

I need to see them.

I need to help.

What are you
going to say to them?

Brief is life, but love is long.

According to this report,

they found Danny's car
by accident.

A couple of hikers came across
the tracks and followed them to...

The edge of a ravine.

We're lucky
they even found his car.

Mom, Dad...

Um, can we sleep
with you tonight?

Of course.

Come here.

Hey, look. You boys have
to sleep though, right?

Here, lift up, sweetheart.
Let me get you under the covers.

Okay.

You got your daddy,
right, sweetheart?

- Yeah, we're good.
- All right.

♪ Everybody listen to me

♪ And return me my ship

♪ I'm your captain

Almost. Good try.

Hey, honey!
What's the score, Christopher?

Like Grandpa always says,
"We got Luke and Evan"

"running like two bald guys
fighting over a comb."

Evan go through
a growth spurt just recently?

Evan's gonna be in high
school before we know it.

Don't even say that.

What's up, munchkin?

Best summer ever, Mom.

Aw!

- Just look at them.
- So sweet.

Young, innocent.

Not for long.

Oh, my gosh.

Well, it wasn't always easy, but
somehow we made it work, didn't we?

Yes, we did.

- Cheers to you.
- Here's to that.

What are you cackling about?

Your first day. Henderson High.

- Let's not...
- Oh, yes, yes, yes.

Let's do.

Um... Oh!

"You look like
you could use a lab partner."

"I'm Rachel."

- You didn't talk like that. You did not.
- I do!

High school. Let's not.
No. So scary.

We shall never
speak of it again.

Yes, we will.

Hey, little man.

Don't be running
with no shoes on.

We'll end up
in the hospital again.

Shit.

You ever...
You ever wonder if...

we end up
in the right place in life?

Yeah, sometimes.

I don't know, maybe... maybe it's
just about freedom, you know?

Doing whatever you want
whenever you want to do it.

Being tied down...

Buy a Porche.

Seriously, like,
what do you think

your life would be like if you
didn't have Carolyn and the boys?

You know?

I don't know. I do have a life
with Carolyn and the boys.

I just...

I don't think about it.

Girls and boys have different...

Oh, that reminds me. Here.

I got you something
for the Mustang.

Ah!

Are you kidding me?

"If they don't know
it happened..."

"It didn't happen."

"NOLA."

You had this made?

Nah. Found it in a tourist shop
down the court.

Kind of like "What happens
in Vegas." You know?

I don't know.
Seemed appropriate.

- Hey, hands to yourself.
- Thank you.

- You're very good at that.
- Thank you.

Yeah.

- Careful. Wine.
- Guys, there's a bottle of wine right there.

Hey!

I love you, Renee.

You love me,
you learn my name, honey.

Yeah.

And you come over
and hang out with us.

♪ I'm your captain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

♪ I'm your captain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ♪

I think I'd rather be doing
just about anything

other than meeting with
a homicide detective today.

I know, I know.

In a weird way, it, uh...
it'll be good for us.

You know?
We need to know all the facts.

When nothing makes sense,
we need to know what happened.

My best friends are dead.
That's what happened.

I had a dream
about Rachel last night.

You what?

Yeah. I was, uh...
sitting by the pool,

and I must have dozed off.

When I opened my eyes, or at
least I think my eyes were open,

I... I could see her face.

She was smiling.

Laughing and...

speaking, though her
lips weren't moving.

But it was like...

she was there,
but she wasn't there?

And she told me to convince you
to speak at her funeral

and that she'll be there
with you.

She came to me last night, too.

I think we're both
just imagining things.

Please accept my condolences.

My name is Detective Ben Lee
from the...

East Baton Rouge
Sheriff's Office.

And you can call me Ben.

I know how difficult
this must be for all of you,

so I'll try to be
as brief as possible.

Let me be clear that I can only release
a limited amount of information,

and I must insist that
you keep the details

of what I tell you to yourselves

as this is an
ongoing investigation.

Once the media gets ahold of some of these
details, they're gonna have a field day.

Carolyn.

- Bill.
- Mitch.

- Hi. I'm so sorry.
- You know Anna?

Mitch.

- Tony.
- Hey.

- I'm so sorry.
- Thank you.

- When did you get back?
- About an hour ago.

Can't believe they're gone.

Why did he do this? Why?

Ben and I go way back.

Kids played ball together.

He's graciously offered
to fill us in.

Thanks for doing this, Ben.

Ben, when I landed
at the airport,

I received a message
from a reporter

saying that Danny
did not shoot Rachel or Evan.

Danny did not shoot Rachel or
Evan, but Danny did shoot himself.

Danny didn't own a gun.

Shotgun.

He shot himself with it as he
drove his SUV into the quarry.

Okay. Okay, okay.

Stop.
- I can't do this. -Okay, okay, okay, okay.

She's in a warfare now.

Rachel and Danny Tucker,
and she...

she raised Evan and Chris
like her own brothers.

She looked up to Danny
like a father.

This doesn't make any sense.

Hey, Tony. It's Danny.

Um...

Listen, I... I just fired Logan
and, uh, he got real pissed.

He said he was gonna kill me.

Look, I'm...
I'm driving home now

and I... I think he might be
following me.

So, uh...

I don't know. I... I think
this guy could be dangerous.

And I... I just thought
you should know.

Um...

Yeah, I don't know what to do.
Call me back, okay?

This doesn't make any sense.

Have you arrested
Logan Vonda yet?

On November 17th, last
Tuesday, at approximately 7:30,

Daniel Turner left his home

to go to Steve's Sporting
Goods Store on Belleau

for the purpose of firing
Logan Vonda,

an employee
who had been caught stealing.

Previously that day,
Danny had requested

that Mary Ann pick up
Evan and Christopher

and bring them back to her
apartment for the evening.

Danny told her that Rachel
would be working late,

and he wanted her
to get a good night's rest

because she would be starting
a new job following day.

Mary Ann arrived later than
planned, approximately 7:00.

Rachel arrived home at 7:15.

Mary Ann said
that she didn't notice

anything strange or different
about Danny or Rachel.

After Danny left, Rachel and
Mary Ann decided that the boys

would not be going to Mary
Ann's apartment that night.

You're saying that Danny thought
the boys were gonna be with Mary Ann

when he went to go fire Logan?

I... I should've known
that something was up.

If I had only insisted
that the boys stay with me.

- At least Evan I could've stopped.
- No, no, no...

No, you couldn't
have done anything.

Have... Have you
interviewed Vonda?

According to his statement,

the store closed 7:45,
and that's when Danny arrived

and accused him of stealing
from the cash register.

Logan Vonda begged Danny
not to fire him

and Danny said something like,

"Okay, there might be
another way,"

and said he should follow him
to R.J. Vale Elementary.

Once they got there,
Logan said that he asked Danny

to tell him about the idea
he had back at the store,

thinking that Danny wanted him
to obtain drugs for him.

Danny didn't do drugs.

When he suggested he could take care
of Danny, if that's what he wanted,

he said Danny started laughing and
says something along all the lines of

"It's gonna to take
much more than that."

So it's possible that Logan Vonda
helped Danny kill Rachel and Evan.

But you said
he committed suicide.

Are you sure?

I mean, how do we know
he's telling the truth?

Vonda could've committed
the murders and then...

and then staged Danny's death.

Oh, that...
that makes more sense.

Yeah, I mean, you already have Logan
admitting to plotting a crime with Danny.

He gets off scot-free, and Danny's
not here to speak for himself.

Look, I know this is very hard
for you to take,

but I can speak with certainty

that Danny committed
these killings,

and then he took his own life.

"The trust of the innocent is
a liar's most useful tool."

Stephen King.

Danny liked Stephen King.

This is feeling like
a Stephen King novel to me.

Some of you
may be aware that Danny

did a stretch in prison
along with Tony here.

Prison? What's he talking about?

We broke into a house
and got caught, Bill.

Danny attacked a guy. He...

He beat him with a tire iron.

Had it not been
for Tony stopping him,

it is almost certain
he would have killed the man.

We've all made mistakes, Bill.

That was over 20 years ago,
and I can attest that

Tony having gone through
that as a kid

has made him the good man
that he is today.

Danny...

Well, cussing and drinking
doesn't make you a murderer.

Uh...

I believe that, Mitch, I do.

But it's just...
Danny doesn't...

Danny didn't have a temper.

Hell, I always knew you two as
just high school football heroes.

With 45 seconds left
on the clock,

Tony Turner behind center needs to
convert here to keep the drive alive.

Turner calls an audible. That's the snap.
Turner well into his left.

Here comes the Blitz. He's
got a man open down the line.

Turner gets his brother Danny
at dead center!

He's in the 15, the 10,
the five, touchdown!

The Cougars win the game. The
Cougars win the game. Unbelievable!

The Turner brothers do it again.

He's got them
to a final score of...

Danny? Hey, you okay?

Yeah, hey...

- Danny, let's go.
- Yeah.

Am I gonna see you
at the party later?

Sure. Um,
I want you to meet someone.

Danny Turner,
this is Rachel McKenna.

Danny scored
the winning touchdown today.

Wow. Cool.

Come on, man, let's go!
- Nice to meet you, Danny.

Nice meeting you, too.

- What did you say your name was, Renee?
- No, it's Rach...

It's Rachel.

We're late for the kegger, man.

When the scholarships
didn't come in,

things eventually
kind of fell apart.

That summer, Danny and I
picked up stock boy jobs

at Tager's Lumber Yard
to make some extra money.

But it was never enough.

What do we got here?

So we started stealing inventory

and fencing it to pick up
the extra bucks.

I knew a guy in Baton Rouge
that would pay 25 bucks per saw.

We could make $500.

You have to understand, we were
making minimum wage at the time.

Things continued like that
for about a year.

Then we got
a phone call from Bags.

What's up, man?

Nice.

Yo, Bags. Over here.

Ah! There they are.

- Yo, what's going on?
- What's up?

Hey, Danny! Come here, bud.

- How we doing, fellas?
- Good, good.

Good. What do you got for us?

I got something for you.

You know that antique shop
over at Novelty?

The one that sells
all that crap like

old clocks and paintings
and tables and stuff?

Well, I had to do
deliveries there every day,

and I started getting friendly with the big
bald dude Jack who hauls all the stuff around

for the two old farts that own the joint.
He said that they do a lot,

and I mean,
a lot of business in cash,

then they take it home
to their house in Lafayette.

Cash!

Say that's true, how are we supposed
to get the cash out of the safe

if we don't know
the combination.

Jack knows the combination.

Like, he won't do the break-in,

but he'll give it to us
if we cut him in.

Check this. He says that they're
planning to go to Florida

for a few months in January.

If we give him
a 1,000 bucks upfront,

he'll make us a copy
of the house key

and give us the code
to the alarm system.

Merry Christmas, boys.

Come on! Huh?

Ho-ho-ho.

Jack said the safe was bolted
inside a cabinet upstairs.

There was at least
$50,000 in it.

Jack also said the homeowners,
Don and Linda Grant,

they closed up shop
week after Christmas every year.

Just put the lights on timers
and bolted out of town.

So we hung out for a few days just
to make sure the place was empty.

We were so excited
because we had the keys.

We weren't exactly pros and we should've
realized at the time that the...

Okay, go ahead.

The whole plan
rested on a stranger

whose last name
we didn't even know.

Yo, Danny, turn it up.

Kevin and Missy Grant

were driving in
from Chicago that day.

They were gonna stay
at the house for a few days

before heading down to Florida

to meet up with Kevin's parents.

Thank you.

Kevin's parents
didn't know at the time

that Missy
was three months pregnant.

And we didn't know that
they were gonna to be there.

Hey, how did you guys
get here before me?

A tire iron?
The place is empty, Danny.

What's the difference?

We should have seen that there
was something wrong with Danny,

something in his head.

I'll leave it in the gym bag
just in case.

Forget it. Come on.

What are you're doing?
Turn... Turn them off.

Turn them off. Turn them off.

That lamp bothered me.

The lamp was off
when I knew that

those lights were
supposed to be on a timer.

Something's wrong.

Chill, Tony.

No one's here but us chickens.

Let's go.

Do you hear something?

I remember how young
and frightened we all were.

Danny in particular, his...

his big old eyes
just talking out of his head.

Hey, give me a hand.

Here, take this. Hold this up.

Oh, boy...

What did I tell you?
What did I tell you?

There! Go on! Tony! Check!

All right. Load it up.

There's someone in the house.

We have to call the cops.

I left my phone downstairs.

Kevin, be careful.

What the hell are you doing?

Don't do anything stupid
and no one's gonna get hurt.

Kevin?

Missy, go downstairs,
call the cops. Now!

No, come back.

So, Bill, when you say that It's hard
to believe that Danny had a temper,

I say that you did not know
Danny the way I did.

Bastard!

- Don't... ever... hit... me.
- Get off, Danny!

No, Danny!

Come on, chill out! We gotta go!

I'm outta here.

Go!

Where is it? Where is it?

Call the cops and I'll kill you.

Aah!

Bags took the cash. He bolted.
We went after him.

He was tearing down
Highway 10 in Henderson and...

He collided with a tree
on the side of the road.

And half of him
went through the windshield.

Danny and I got back to our house
and the cops were already there.

They're waiting for us
because it turns out

that Missy went to
Henderson High School.

She recognized us from our
star high school football days.

So go figure that.

Kevin Grant suffered
a brain injury,

broken ribs, punctured lung.

He was recovering
in that hospital for a month.

If Danny beat him any more,
he never would've made it.

Because of the violent
nature of our crime

and the fact that we were
high school football heroes,

our case was front page news
for a few days.

We were advised to take a deal,
so we did.

We agreed to 10 to 25.

We were thrown in St. Charles
Parish Correctional Facility.

Danny was put in a cell on the
opposite side of the prison from me

and the only contact we had was the writing
of a letter, or an occasional phone call.

All right, let's go.

I realized during
my time there that

that was an opportunity for me to change direction
in my life, to make something of myself.

And at that moment,

I felt this overwhelming sense of
gratitude for my whole situation.

I accepted the fact that it was
a good thing that we got caught.

I felt sorry for Danny.
I felt responsible for him.

There was nothing I could do.

I wrote him letters

and I tried to get him to admit
that what he did was wrong,

that he was damn lucky that he did
not kill Kevin Grant that night.

That he had a chance to do the right
thing from that moment forward.

He didn't listen to me.

He said that he was
just gonna play nice,

he was gonna work the system

because that afforded him
certain privileges

that made life on the inside
a lot easier.

But he just wanted out...

and to stay out.

You two knew them best.

Yeah, Carolyn, you and
Rachel were like sisters.

I've heard the stories.

And, Mitch, when you say Tony became a
better man due to his past, I believe it.

I do, Tony.

So Danny's hiding this darkness
inside, I get it, but...

Don't we all?

I mean, it doesn't...

doesn't mean we're all capable
of murdering our families.

I suppose.

But a crime scene tells a story,
much like Tony's.

And it's up to my guys
to read it correctly.

Carolyn, your father,
Joe, his regular visits,

they made all the difference in the world.
They really did.

Imagine your high school coach
visiting you in jail...

just to remind you that...

the outside world
still cared about you.

And he reminded us not to give
up hope and to stay strong

because a miracle
could come at any time.

And it did.

In the form of a letter
from Kevin Grant.

He wrote in his letter that
he had come to the conclusion

that in order to be free,
he needed to forgive.

So he wanted to meet
Danny and me in prison

so he could
forgive us in person.

Yet forgiveness is an easier
thing to talk about...

How are you?

Orange. Nice.

Imagine that.

The guy that you had
beat the crap out of

is asking for permission
to forgive you.

The honesty
in his letter was undeniable.

Um...

We never properly met.

I was in the hospital
during your trial.

Yeah, last time we were in the
same room was on that night.

I like the mustache.

I'm so used to seeing you from
the news clippings of the case.

It makes you look older.

I feel older.

Um...

After that night...

I spent the next few years
driven crazy with anger.

I'd lie in bed at night just...
just wishing I'd picked up that bat,

and smashed you both
over the heads.

Why did I not defend my wife?

Listen, Kevin,

- I mean, we're sorry. We just...
- I know you are.

Because you got caught.

But it... it could have easily
have gone the other way.

I could have been killed
and Missy, too.

It could have been much worse.

And it took me
a long time to see that.

But, uh...

after I recovered, I, uh...
I went back to work.

We had our... our son...

and I thought
life would get back to normal.

But instead...

instead I... I...

I sank into a deep depression.

Uh...

One night...

I was closing up the shop
around 8:00.

And I see this guy Harold,

who often slept
on the grate across the street.

And he was talking with this
well-dressed, soft-spoken woman.

And, I, uh...

I go to walk past and he calls out.
He says, "Hey, Kevin..."

- Hey, Kevin.
- "...slow down, man."

- Come on.
- "This is Joanna."

- Come on.
- "She... She's here for you."

Hi, Kevin.

And, uh...

That night,

I had brought with me
a bottle of pills,

and I was going to
sit in my car and die.

I couldn't see the wonderful
things I had to live for,

like Missy,

and my son
and my parents and my friends.

I was...
I was so full of hate for you,

for myself, for... for... for not
being a man that night that I...

I couldn't see what my death
would do to those who loved me.

I...

I couldn't see
how much I had to live for.

And all of a sudden,
Joanna took my hand

and she stared intensely
into my eyes,

like she could
look into my mind.

I came to tell you
something, Kevin.

Let go of your anger.

Go home tonight

and pray for the men
that hurt you

and mean it.

Pray that those men you hate
will be happy.

And one day free.

Pray for God to allow you
to forgive them

because that is the only way
you will ever be free.

One more thing, Kevin.

Your plan for tonight
is a very bad idea.

I went back to my car

and I looked
at the bottle of pills.

But instead of taking them...

I prayed.

I out... I prayed out loud
like she told me to.

I prayed for you both

to have a good life.

I prayed
to be able to forgive you.

I prayed to be able
to forgive myself.

And the most
amazing thing happened.

I felt free.

Thank you.

Danny said that

he had these visions of a woman with
gray hair and olive-colored skin.

He said she was so real
that when he closed his eyes,

she was standing right there
in the cell in front of him.

We had a hearing
for early release.

The committee overseeing our
cases read letters of support...

from Linda,

and Missy and Kevin Grant.

And the decision to release
us earlier was unanimous.

- Come on. Come on.
- What you got? What you got?

Run faster! Get in there!

Back up, back up!

Yeah!

That's my boy. That's my boy.
That's my boy.

See you boys next week.

All right. I got a date with Emily tonight.
What are you guys up to?

Good for you. Maybe she can
kiss your basketball boo-boos.

That's funny.

- Good night, guys.
- See you, buddy.

Hey, speaking of dates...

- I got someone I want you to meet.
- Oh, come on, man.

- Come on. Come for a quick drink.
- Come on.

You'd like that... the band. It's Steve
Manano's band. You like them, right?

- Yeah.
- Quick one.

- Okay.
- You'll like her, too, don't worry.

Oh, Jesus.

Hey, Mike. What up?

- What was her name again?
- Her name's, uh, Carolyn.

She went to Henderson High.
Think you might know her.

Hey!

Whoo!

Oh, shit. Look who's here.

Jimmy! Don't you drink too much.
I don't wanna have to carry you home.

Come on, now. Hear that.
Hear that in your bones?

You gotta feel that music
in your bones. Come on, man.

- Danny!
- That's my girl!

Hey. Hey, listen!

There's someone
I want to reintroduce you to.

What do you mean, reintroduce?

Yeah. Reintroduce you because,
a long time ago after a game,

I wanted to introduce you
to my friend Rachel

but you'd taken off
to a keg party or something.

- Yeah, yeah. That sounds like me back then. I'm sorry.
- Yeah.

- Hey, this is my buddy Mitch, the one I was telling you about.
- Hi!

- Mitch, this is Carolyn.
- Nice to meet you.

- What?
- Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

Mitch is a great guy.
He's an okay basketball player,

but he's the best architect
you'll ever meet.

- Oh!
- He designed one of our shops.

Yeah, he was... he graduated a couple
of years ahead of us at Henderson.

- Oh, okay.
- Oh, you gotta remember this face.

Look at this guy.
Tall, dark and handsome.

Sorry.

- It was nice to meet you.
- Likewise.

Yeah.

It's okay. His tongue swells up
when he gets hit by the love bug.

- Oh.
- Oh, man.

Oh, my God, there's my friend Rachel.
Okay, come with me.

Hey, do me a favor... Rachel!

- Do not call her Renee again.
- Okay. Okay.

Hi!

- I'm Danny.
- I'm Rachel.

- Right. I remember.
- Yeah.

I'm sorry, yeah. Hey, I love this song.
You wanna dance?

Do you, um, I don't know,
wanna have a drink?

- Why not?
- Okay.

What do you like
for breakfast in the morning?

That's a really bad question
to ask.

- That sounds really terrible.
Forget it.

- Are you inviting me to breakfast?
- Yeah, that's why it sounds bad.

I wasn't asking you
that kind of...

Forget I asked you that.
Just dance with me.

Come on.

Club soda, please.

How's your drink?
Strong enough for you?

And gone

I'm standing at the edge of
Nicholson Quarry in St. Francisville

where the final act of the Turner family
tragedy took place Tuesday morning.

It was here that Danny Turner,

husband and father of the
victims, took his own life.

Though the final report has not yet
been released by the medical examiner...

Hey, sweetie, it's Rachel.

What are you up to? I'm about to go
take my exam, and I just was calling...

Ben.

Thank you for agreeing
to meet with me.

Glad you reached out.

Look, I didn't want to get into all
these details in front of the family.

But, uh...

This is kinda what happened.

Danny told Logan
that he wanted him to help

fake a jewelry heist at his house to
make an insurance claim of $30,000,

which he said
he would share with Logan.

Logan said he didn't think
it was really a crime.

So they left Logan's car
at R.J. Vale Elementary school

and then drove
to Danny's house together.

Now here's
where it gets interesting.

Around 11:30 p.m.,
Danny came back

and told Logan
that Rachel was asleep

and to break the glass in
the back door of the garage

to make it look like a break-in.

And I want you to put a brick
through the window, okay?

You do that for me. Make it
look like we, you know...

just like somebody
robbed the house, got it?

- All right.
- You got a phone on you.

Now according to phone records,

Danny then made several calls
in the next few hours,

including one to his brother
and several to Logan's friends

in which he claimed
that he had just fired Logan

and Logan
had threatened to kill him.

Hey, Tony.

It's Danny. Um...

Listen, I... I just fired Logan.

Doesn't this Logan guy
also have a record?

I mean, why do the police
believe what he has to say?

Okay, so, Logan has a record,
but his statements check out.

Look, when you're dealing with a
crime like this, it's very common

for witnesses to be people
with dicey backgrounds.

We know Logan isn't a Boy Scout.

The fact that Danny
made these calls

suggests that he was trying
to frame Logan

and create an alibi for himself.

You think it was premeditated?

Around 1:00 a.m., he came back

and said that he never really
planned to steal any jewelry.

In fact, there wasn't
any jewelry to steal.

- Instead, he wanted Logan's help killing Rachel.
- There's a change of plan.

I, uh... I need to...
I need to kill my wife.

Okay? So I need you to do it
'cause I can't fucking do it.

What the hell
are you talking about, man?

Nobody would hang around
after somebody tells 'em

they want help
killing their wife.

This Logan kid's lying.

Logan said he stayed on

because
Danny said something like,

"Did you think
I was serious, dude?"

- I'll split the fucking
insurance money with you, okay?

That was if I break a window.

- Look, man...
- I can't kill nobody.

Come on, bro. Come on.
You can fucking do it.

You're fucking with me, right?

- You're fucking with me
right now.

Yeah. I'm fucking with you.

Shh!

Calm the fuck down, dude.

Logan says he was convinced Danny
wasn't serious about killing Rachel.

He was jumpy and wild-eyed

and he refused to give Logan
his cell phone back,

and then abruptly
went back into the house.

That's when Logan got spooked.

He got a screwdriver
and held on to it in the car.

And he says he fell asleep.

- Asleep?
- Yeah.

Come on, man.

You're so convinced he had nothing
to do it, you're not making sense.

Sometime after midnight, Danny went upstairs
with intent to bludgeon Rachel to death.

Rachel was asleep at that time.

You may recall

a brownish lamp in the living
room with a very heavy base?

Well, Danny got a kitchen knife,

cut the cord and used that lamp

as the primary weapon.

And Rachel knew
this was happening?

Yeah. We think so.

Danny probably thought
that one blow to her head

would have been
sufficient to kill her,

like on TV. Well, it didn't.

In fact, she fought back.

Danny then used
the kitchen knife to stab her.

But the kitchen knife
was only two inches long.

So at some point,
Danny grabbed a pair of scissors

from the sewing table,

and stabbed her with those.

Did she know it was Danny?

Well, the struggle
went on for several minutes,

and even though
we suppose the room was dark,

she must have
recognized his voice.

And apparently, there was a great
deal of shouting between them.

That's probably
what woke the children.

Rachel had, um,

marks on her arms
and what we presume to be

Danny's skin
under her fingernails.

I mean...

She was fighting
for her life, Mitch.

There's no doubt
she recognized the attacker.

My notes say that she suffered
from a severed left carotid artery

which resulted
in exsanguination...

bleeding to death.

That would likely be the official cause
of death when the report is completed.

Mitch, I've been doing this
for 20 years. I've never...

I've never seen
anything like this.

Lamp,

knife,

scissors.

Hey, sweetie, it's Rachel.

I'm calling you
because I have an exam

and I just wanted to get
one of your famous pep talks.

Also, it's raining
really nasty right here,

and I wondered
if it's raining there, too...

Carolyn.

Talk to you soon.
Love you, girl.

Were you listening
to Rachel's message again?

Actually, you know, I don't... I don't...
I don't really listen to it.

Actually, that's not true.

- Yeah, it is.
- No.

It bothers me that you can't
be honest with me right now...

So I listen to it sometimes.

I don't understand
why it's a bad thing.

It's comforting to me
to hear Rachel's voice.

You don't understand how much I
need a comforting voice right now.

- I don't understand, huh?
- No, you don't.

I've been dealing with this right
alongside you the whole time.

Okay? And it... it frustrates me that
I can't figure out how to move on.

Move past it!

It's killing me!

Well, I don't listen to it over and
over again, if that's your concern.

- You're lying to me.
- I'm lying?

You wanna talk about lying? How about
you and your secret investigations?

Your late night phone calls,

coming home after the boys
have gone to bed,

sneaking in
and then checking up on me.

You don't understand
what I'm going through.

You don't care! You don't care.

You care only about yourself,
so leave me alone about this.

Why are you guys so mad?

Oh, no... Sweetheart.

Honey...

We're not, baby. We're...

Say good night to daddy.

Good night, buddy.

- Good night.
- Come on.

I'm sorry we woke you up,
sweetheart.

We'll get you a pillow.

Get all cuddled in.

Hey, sweetie. It's Rachel.
What are you up to?

Uh, I am about
to go take my exam

and I was just calling to get
one of your famous pep talks.

Also, it's raining here and I was just
wondering if it's raining there, too...

Well, it's straight
from the heart.

I know people
will remember Rachel

as the generous
and honest person that she was.

It's...

It's truthful, as it should be.

I just don't feel like
this is real.

Hope I can do it.

Look...

people will understand that
this is very hard thing to do.

You just have
to have faith that...

We're here to celebrate
the lives

of Rachel Turner
and her son Evan,

two beautiful souls who were
taken from us far too soon,

but delivered into the hands
of the Lord.

The will of God
will never take you

where the grace of God
will not protect you.

Now I'd like to call on
Carolyn Bianci

if she would come to the
lectern and share some words.

My name is Carolyn Bianci

and I am privileged to say that

Rachel had been my best friend
since ninth grade.

We formed
an immediate connection and...

and developed a bond that

continued for the past 26 years.

I knew that in Rachel
I had a friend for life.

We shared
a lot of our lives together

because she was so willing to...
to invest her time and her heart

into her friends.

And I love her
and I miss her dearly.

As you all know, Rachel...

Um, Rachel was never the type
to settle.

She always demanded
more of herself

and always wanted the best for
her family and for her friends.

So in addition to raising two
wonderful boys, Evan and Christopher,

whom she was so proud of,

she opened her home
with no hesitation to Mary Ann

because of her love of family

and her enormous heart
for others.

They say if you can find
one true friend in your life,

you are blessed,

and we are all so blessed
because, in Rachel,

we had that one true friend.

My husband Mitch...

is constantly reminding
our three sons that

our decisions shape our lives,

and ultimately,

shape the individuals
that we become.

We all have one

question before us today
and that question is

what meaning will we attach
to these events.

If we choose tragedy,
then we will all lose.

So the challenge

that I want to put there
for all of us,

including myself is,

is to take that piece of Rachel

that we were all so fortunate
to experience

and hold that
in their hearts forever...

by...

allowing it to inspire us

as mothers and fathers

and friends.

We will take
Rachel and Evan's light forward.

Thank you, Carolyn.

I would regret this day forever

if I do not summon the courage
to speak of another.

We've spoken of Rachel and Evan.

But we have not made mention of
Danny Turner, husband and father.

I'd be remiss if I did not at least
mention that he, too, is a child of God.

And he, too, has passed
into another life, prematurely.

And he will be missed.

Got you.

He said it was a combination
of multiple stab wounds,

a severed carotid artery,

numerous blunt-force traumas,
and a broken jaw.

But the severed artery alone
probably caused her death.

Why did he kill Evan?
Why did he do that?

Well, Ben said, based on physical
evidence and comments from Christopher...

it appears Evan attempted to... to
stop Danny from attacking Rachel

and Danny lashed out, possibly
thinking Logan Vonda was behind him.

I don't know what to think.

Why didn't he hurt Christopher?

Bill said Christopher
had blood on his back,

I'm guessing from Danny pushing
Christopher into his room.

Well, maybe Danny ran out of
adrenaline, came to his senses

and was able to stop
at that point.

Or someone intervened.

Joanna. Joanna.

Come back here.

You are so sweet. You know
he's going to understand.

But we have to let him sleep.
It's his birthday.

I'm gonna surprise him anyway.

Okay.

Go on outside, okay?

Okay.

Ha!

Daddy?

Daddy!

Daddy!

Jo, shh.
What has gotten into you?

Mom, I know something's wrong.

I saw this big blue balloon come
out the window and go into the sky.

What happened? What do you
mean, a big blue balloon?

I saw this big blue balloon and it
flew away and took Daddy with it.

Daddy is okay.

Why don't you set the table

and I'll go wake him up?

Okay? All right.

Please, God. Please, God.
Please, God. Please.

Honey!

Oh, God, no. He's gone!

This is Mitch Bianci.

Listen, I thought about it
after our talk and...

I know where Vonda is.

Where?

Well, you were right.
His actions are not of a man

who just happened to be at the
wrong place at the wrong time.

But you need to understand something.
He did not do this.

Where is he?

Promise me you won't
hurt him, Mitch.

Look, I know how important
this is to you,

and that's why I didn't tell you at
the diner, okay? So just promise me.

I think you need
to hear it from him.

I think it's the only way.

Please, please, please.

Please, God, please.

Oh, my God, please.

I can't take this anymore, I can't take
this anymore, I can't take this anymore.

I want it to stop.

I'm begging you, I beg you.

At least a million times a day,
I beg you, please...

Please just make it stop.

Why? Why, why? Why does
this world seem so miserable?

So... and...

and... fruitless,
and hopeless, and random?

I don't understand.

Help me understand,
I wanna know why.

I wanna know why.

Please.

Help me stop thinking
about this, please.

Please, God.

Help me.

I'm looking for Logan Vonda.
Does he live here?

My name is Mitch Bianci.

I was a friend
of Danny Turner's.

I know who you are.

How'd you find me?

I've got nothing to say to you.

All right? Leave me alone.

I just want to talk to you.

Get a better idea
of what Danny did that night.

I know you weren't to blame.

I said all I'm going to say.

Already said everything
to the cops.

Can you just come out for a sec?

I'm not looking for trouble.

I'll pay you for information.

How much?

So, what do you want to know?

Why did Danny ask you
to come to the house that night?

I want to hear it from you
because this whole thing is...

And Danny was my friend,
and I need to know.

You want to know why.

I don't know.

All I know is what he told me.

I don't know, it was just some...
some made-up stuff.

He was trying to make it
look like I did it.

He was going to use
that shotgun on me.

After he killed Rachel.

Make it look like self-defense.

And to save his wife,
he'd have to kill me.

Did you go into the house?

After Danny said
he was going to kill her,

why would I set foot
in that house?

I'd just been out front, making
it look like a... a break-in.

I ain't stupid.

How did you sleep with all
the yelling and screaming?

And where did Danny
get a shotgun?

You wanna know the truth?

That's all I want.

I was... I was holding on
to a couple of Oxys.

I was saving 'em
for when I got home.

After he went in the house
that last time, I...

I popped 'em.

Just nodded out.

Just one last question.

When Danny told you he was gonna kill
Rachel, why didn't you do anything?

I don't know, go to the
neighbors, call the cops.

You could have
saved their lives.

You really think I don't wish
I did things different?

I live with this every day.

Knowin' that if...
if I'd... helped,

I'd done something, anything...

Rachel, Evan, they...
they could still be alive.

I know that.

I...

I don't want your money.

Joanna Larson.

So happy to meet you.

Rachel asked that I come.

She...

I'm Carolyn.

I know.

I...

I'm sorry, do I know you?

We've never
personally met until now,

but I've been thinking about you
a great deal these few days.

- Why am I here?
- Yes.

And why have I been thinking about
you given we don't know each other?

A perfectly reasonable question to ask
someone who just showed up at your house.

May I come in?

Yes.

- Yeah?
- Yes.

Have you figured it out yet?

I was sent here to help you.

I wasn't really gonna take them, but the
doctor said they would make me feel better.

Uh...

You said Rachel asked you to come.
What did you mean?

Life changes in an instant,

the ordinary instant.

Joan Didion.

Yes, exactly.

"To choose between
darkness and light."

"And that
we always have free will."

And when a tiny nub of truth

makes a lie seem real,

it blurs our choices like there
are two voices inside your head.

Tell me something.

When you're upstairs,

in that sacred spot,
praying on your knees,

you believe that
God hears you, don't you?

I want to.

I want to so badly.

But every day, I wake up...

and I just feel the same
pain and grief and hurt, and...

and, you know, I just...
I have these horrible...

thoughts.

Who... How'd you...

How do you know where I...

Because it was shown to me.

That morning, Carolyn,

I awoke with the natural
to a particularly angry dawn.

The natural?

Are... are you saying you
see things when they happen?

You saw these murders happen?

Not so like I'm seeing you.

This is something different.

More like how Mitch saw Rachel
a few days before the funeral.

How could you
possibly know that?

Oh, it all started the day I saw
my father pass away.

Since that morning, I found
that I could look at someone

and know if he's at risk, because
darkness had him in its grip.

Sometimes, I was able to help.

Other times...

free will takes over,

and then a person may make
the very worst decision.

As did Danny.

Ironically enough, I had
two occasions to help Danny.

It only takes one bad decision.

Does the darkness ever let go?

Maybe, Carolyn.

But Danny is in heaven.

Oh, gosh.
Things have a way of...

well, changing
as the universe directs.

It's a spiritual contract.

And it's out of our control.

Sometimes, I think of it...

more as a responsibility
that I've been given.

But I believe... No.

I know that I have been
selected to help where I can.

Oh, oh, oh,
I have so much to tell you.

But it's important that your husband
be a part of the conversation.

Oh...

He's been suffering so much,
I'm worried about him.

I don't know where he is.
We've been fighting.

I woke up this morning
and he was gone.

- I would call the office...
- He's on his way home to you...

right now.

Time for me to go.

This is my address.

Visit me tomorrow
with your husband

and feel better.

Help is on the way.

- Mitch?
- Hey, listen. I found...

I just met
the most amazing woman. She...

She said that Rachel
sent her here to help us.

I found Logan Vonda.

You what?

Before you say anything, I...
I... I'm glad I did.

Because now I... I... I understand why
Danny did what he did, but... but...

Not why he did what he did,
but how it happened.

She said Danny is in heaven.

No, no, no.

Uh... Danny made his choice.

She said that
you would say that. She...

She told me to tell you...

the butterfly thinks
you have beautiful eyes.

There's something I'd like to
do before we go visit Joanna.

I'd like to
stop by Nicholson Quarry.

Why would you wanna do that?

It seems appropriate.

I was chatting with
the owners of the quarry.

I think we ought to put a metal fence
between those two trees back there.

They're afraid it might become one of
those places where people come and...

- You know?
- Golden Gate Bridge.

Yeah.

I didn't expect
to find you here.

I come here whatever I can...

looking for something.

Maybe the same reason
you're here now.

Listen, what if I told you

that we uncovered evidence of financial
trouble in the Turner household?

Maybe even some
marital problems.

Would that make a difference?

No.

Not anymore.

Okay.

I'm gonna go now.

Let me know if you find
what you're looking for.

I have felt Rachel's presence
so many times since she died.

But I... I just... I convinced
myself that I was imagining things.

And then yesterday when I met
Joanna, she told me that... that...

That Rachel's soul lives on, and sometimes
our souls, they... they intersect.

Joanna was in the church.

She sat in the very last pew.

She told me Rachel was proud of
me for speaking on her behalf.

She was standing next to me
at the altar

and I felt it. I felt it. I...

I felt it.

Yeah, I felt it, too.

Hi, I'm Richard.

You must be Carolyn and Mitch.

I've been expecting you.

Like when Rachel was standing in
the doorway laughing and smiling.

Yeah, she was there.
She was there.

When Joanna and I were talking,
she was there.

Sanctuary night.

Beautiful, isn't it?

Hmm.

If God cares about the grieving,
why wouldn't he prevent it?

I don't know how she does it,

but anything she touches
just seems to grow and grow.

Joanna says it's because
of all the conversations

she's had with the trees
over the years.

Ah. There she is.

- I'll see you later.
- Thank you.

Mm.

Is that why we're here, Mitch?

Why you refuse to believe
that he's in a better place?

I don't know
if I can ever forgive him.

I don't know, but I have to
believe that he's in heaven. I...

I have to believe that.

No.

Mitch...

Why would a murderer like Danny
be allowed into heaven?

You know, I never once saw
Danny in a bad mood.

Always had a smile on his face,
and I've known him a long time.

Heck, he introduced us.

I've never even seen him
lose his temper, not once.

You know, I mean, he didn't...

He didn't do everything right.
He... didn't work very hard,

didn't manage
his finances very well,

but if you knew him like I did,

you would say that he led
a happy and productive life.

And then to murder
your wife and your kid...

and then to kill yourself...

it makes no sense.

So I just... I...
I need to understand.

You understand
more than you realize, Mitch.

Danny's easygoing nature
was a mask

and was the result of his fears.

A fear of not being good enough.

A fear of failure.

A fear of not being loved.

That's what drove him
to always be nice,

so that he would
always be liked.

But Danny had anger in him,

a darkness.

Ah.

The fact that he wore a mask to disguise
it didn't make it any less real.

In fact, it made it all the more
explosive when it finally came out.

You love them too much.

Yeah, sure.

That don't mean that sometimes I
don't feel like pointing it all west

and just driving to some town
where no one can find me.

Because he thought
of himself as unworthy.

So he tried
to compensate by lying,

and cheating, pretending
he was something he wasn't.

He fought with the darkness,

and lost again and again

because he stopped
trusting in God.

Without trust...

there is no faith.

Yes, we do have free will.

Yes, we do make mistakes.

Yes, we all experience darkness.

Two angels appeared
at Danny's bedside

the night before and said,

"Do not do
what you are about to do."

Those angels attempted
to convert Danny's thinking,

to show him
there was another way.

But the lure of darkness was
impossible for Danny to resist.

He was given the opportunity
to choose darkness and light.

In his confusion,

it was the darkness
that appeared to be the truth.

I said, "We always have
free will, Danny."

That's what
I tried to remind him of.

But I knew he wouldn't listen.

I seized the opportunity

to push him towards the light.

Cut the cord.

Cut the cord.

For a moment
I thought we had won.

Then the darkness overtook him.

It pushed him towards
the lamp and shouted...

It's too late to turn back.

Don't you stop now.
Don't you stop, Danny.

Don't stop.

The instant he sliced that cord,

and picked up the lamp,

he was prodded up the stairs.

It's too late to turn back.

It's too late to turn back.

God, don't let this happen!

God, don't let this happen!

Now the darkness gave him
one last nudge.

It works a million times a day
all over the world.

A tiny nub of truth that...
that makes a lie seem real.

Danny?

What?

What are you doing?

After Rachel,
he lashed out at Evan.

He was told he was doing the best
thing for his son, so he believed it.

I begged God to stop him.

Stop it now!

And fell to my knees.

And perhaps I was heard.

I will never know.

Hey... Hey...
put some shoes on, buddy.

Can't run around the house with no
shoes on, come on. Put some shoes on.

Hey, it's okay. It's okay.

Shh. It's okay. It's okay.
Go back to bed.

He was on his way
to kill Christopher,

when finally an angel blocked
Christopher's doorway

and told Danny, "Stop."

"You are not taking this one."

Those words
brought Danny to his senses,

and saved Christopher.

I want you
to consider something.

Perhaps it will help you to
understand the power of forgiveness.

Please forgive me.

You can remain angry at Danny.

You can hate him.

You can hope
that he rots in hell,

punished
for the rest of eternity.

That's your choice.

But then you stay trapped
in your anger,

and in prison
in your own emotions,

because of a desire
to see another suffer.

Ask yourself something.

Do you want
to be guided by hate...

or by love?

Danny, like all of us,

he was a sinner as we are,

but his father
loved him nonetheless

and brought him back home.

God does not view sin
in different levels.

That was the creation of man.

Rachel and Evan
have forgiven him.

I think... you should, too.
