I always wanted to have
a house by the water.

Downloaded from
YTS.MX

Nothing fancy.

You know,
the smell of the sea.

A boat. A fireplace.

Cook outs, barbecues.

Hot-dogs and marshmallows.

A family.

A family together.

Don't we all have
such a dream?

I did.

We gotta get dressed, Mom.

It starts at 12.

Okay, honey.

Grove McCarthy was my boss,

my business partner
and my best friend.

Without him,
I would have been nothing.

He picked me up
when I had fallen.

He supported me
and he believed in me.

And together we started
and we built a business.

Then, in its success,
changed our lives.

And the lives of all those
who worked for us.

And now he's gone.

Lost at sea.

And it's made a terrible
time for all of us.

But most especially, Ellen,

Katie and Josh.

The only consolation
when there is no consolation

is that he was doing the thing
he loved, sailing.

Grove in his boats.

And especially this last one,

- The Samara.

You could drown, Grove.

I'm gonna drown in this rain.

The safest place to be
is on the boat.

Whatever I could think to say,

I don't think I could
say it any better than
Oliver Wendell Holmes.

The great thing in this world

is not so much where we stand

as in what direction
we are moving,

to reach the port of heaven,
we must sail.

Sometimes with the wind

and sometimes against it.

But we must sail.

And not drift,
nor lie at anchor.

I...don't know what I'll do
without him.

Mrs. McCarthy.
Very moving service I thought.

Go on, sweetie.
Go with Aunt Rachel.

Isn't it unusual
for a policeman to talk...

Just paying my respects.

Oh, I thought maybe
you'd found out something.

Not yet. But we will.

- You sound so sure.
- I am.

Why?

It's been months
and you haven't.

Grove is still gone.

I want to send forensics
to your house.

- You already did that.
- Yeah, but that
was just a preliminary sweep.

I'll give you a call.

All right.

It's good you had
the service, Ellen.

Yes, it was.

I still can't believe
that he's dead.

We all needed the closure.
Coffee?

Beans are in the freezer
and the grinder is
in the cabinet.

I need a drink. Stiff drink.

- Ellen.
- What?

A drink?

So tempting but...

No.

I'm going to go check
on Katie and Josh.

Josh.

Josh.

Are you okay, honey?

Daddy's not gone, sweetie.

He'll always be here.

He'll always be right here.

In your heart.

This is an adventure.

- I am the leader.

Let's hear you say,
"Call me Ishmael."

Call me Ishmael.

- I like that.

Stand at attention.

Okay...

I am the captain.

All right. You ready?

One, two, three. Look.

- Voila.
- Oh.

- It's beautiful.
- Wow.

Is that really for us?

How's that, sweetheart?

Look, Josh.

She's perfect.

- It's great, isn't it?
- Yes.

Now, that is always been
the side I've been on.

It's an aggressive position.

We're in the business
of aggressive positions.

I'm not going to worry
about that.

It's too late for that.

My turn now.

Isn't that my sweater?

Prove it.

Prove it?

Katie and I were alone
when I first met Grove.

We'd lost her father,
my first husband and...

we were just falling apart.

She was all I had.

And she was my life.

And then, along he came.

This wildly

charismatic, successful man.

What are you doing?

Well, I'm stalking
a very beautiful woman.

Two, I'm going to kiss
that beautiful woman.

Three, I'm going
to kiss her thoroughly.

And four,

I'm going to ask her
to marry me.

What?

What, what?

I'd like to hear
number four again, please.

I bet you'd like to hear that
on my knees.

Now we had Josh.

And the world was...

Bright.

- Katie.
- Look at it.

Look at the water.
It's so dirty.

It's okay, honey. Don't worry.

It'll clear up.

It's so dirty.

It's just the rust
in the pipes.

I washed the tub.
I've cleaned it before.

Can we go and sell the house?

It's so full of him.

I know.

Everything will be back
to normal. You'll see.

You'll go back to school.

We'll order bad fast food.

We'll argue, we'll fight.

You promise?

Do you know what species
on this stupid planet

has got the greatest powers
for recovery?

What? Who?

- Women.

I love you.

You're really something.
You know that?

And as soon as everything
is settled, we'll go.

I promise.

Been worrying about you
since the tragedy.

I'm not just your lawyer,
I'm your friend and the news
isn't good.

What news, Leo?
What do you mean?

I'm afraid there's some debt.

Larry Denton
here and myself,

have been fending
off creditors.

- They may approach you.
- It's true, they might.

What are you saying, Leo?

What's happening?

A few months ago,

Grove started selling off
his investments

and drawing money
out of the bank.

No, that's impossible.

There is still
his life insurance.

Well, at least there is
some face value left.

- It has a small amount.
- But...

- What?
- Unfortunately,
you can't claim life insurance

until the will's settled.
It's the same with the house.

Its community property,
but it's in Grove's name.

So, until
the death certificate
is signed, you can't sell it.

But what if he's never found?

I... What if there is no body?

I'll look into it.
But normally you have
to wait seven years.

What about your assets?

What assets?

I gave Grove everything
to invest.

Oh. Mm-hmm.

I'm going to have this
one plot of worthless land.

But, from your first marriage.

No, no.

Cancer took Katie's father.
The hospital bills
took everything else.

I'm going to have
bills to pay.

So, could I sell
his new car at least?

- Well not until...
- Not until the will
is settled.

Nothing could stop you
from driving it though.

Hi, Jim Javison
with Disco Satellite,

-I happen to be
in the neighbor...

Hi, Ellen. It's me.
We're thinking of you.

-Call you tomorrow.

Ellen, Leo.

Things keep cropping up.
Bills, bouncing checks.

I can't figure it out.

Please call me when you can.

You listening. Are you?

He deserved to die.

Detective Kazin.
Got a couple of questions.

Glad to come see you
or you can come see me.

Appreciate it. Thanks.

- Oh, Mrs. Carthy.
- Detective.

Glad you could come.

We're still searching.
We got the Coast Guard
helping us out now.

They are dragging
the shoals area.

Why there?

Oh, for hundreds of years,
boats have gone down there.

Even back in the Civil War,
some iron-clad gunboat
went down.

- I don't know. I don't get it.

Can't swim. Not my thing.

And the weather was bad the day
your husband disappeared?

Yes, it was raining.

What about this boat that was
found floating two days later?

- You mean the Dinghy?
- Yeah. Dinghy.

Um, any reason why
that would happen?

No. I have no idea.

Have you ever heard of the...

- Marlberry Foundation.
- Marlberry.

No.

Here's the file.

Apparently there was
a check made payable
to the Marlberry Foundation.

- From a company...
- What company?

Gates Spur Unlimited.

Gates Spur. No.
Never heard of it.

Not surprising since
there's no such company
in the United States.

We're checking Switzerland
and the Caymans,

but they got a nasty tendency
not to give us much.

This can't have anything
to do with Grove.

Well, that's not quite true.
It seems as though he...

organized the event,
handled the account,

wrote the check
and the money's gone.

Oh, how much was
the check for?

One million dollars.

Looks like there's a lot more
going on than we first thought,
doesn't it?

- I'm glad you came.
- Ken.

One moment. Excuse me.

Ken.

I need to talk to you.
I just came from
the police station.

Why didn't you tell me
the mess we're all in?

All right. Come in.

Grove was broke. He took
money from the charity.

It seems you must have
known all this, Ken.

Grove was my best friend.

He would have wanted me
to be there for you and...

- And I am.
- What does that mean?

What that means, Ellen,
is that there was trouble.

All kinds of trouble.
And I didn't know
how to tell you

about it without
it seeming like

I'm stabbing your husband,
who's also my best friend
in the back.

What about Gates Spur?

Did you not know anything
about the Gates Spur
Operation either?

Let me confess to you
about Gates Spur.

I had heard about it.

But I wanted
nothing to do with it.

Is that possible?

And apparently,
there's lots of things
Grove didn't tell me.

Had I ever known my husband?

Should I have left him?

No one ever leaves
when they should.

And now he's gone.

Funny.

How much easier it is
to say gone than...

- It will be good to be back
in school.

You'll see.
I'll pick you up on Friday.

All right.

- You want me to go in
with you?
- No, I'm fine.

You want to talk,
you just call me, okay?

And I'll come
and pick my girl up.

Stop it, mom.
I'm not a girl.

That's true.

Don't worry about me.
I'll be fine.

Okay.

- Bye.
- Katie.

- Hi, Sarah.

Here comes the pitch.
It's a brilliant
fastball, and Jason--

No, Josh.

He swings and he hits
and it's going, going, gone.

No, no, no...

- Let me show you.
- Josh, come here
right now, honey.

Right now. This instant.

- You know better than
to get near strangers.
- I know.

This is private property.

I don't know who you are,
but please leave or
I'll call the police.

Look, I don't want to get off
on the wrong foot.

- Go inside, sweetheart.
- I'm a lawyer.

I just need five minutes
of your time.

I'm going in and I'm going
to start dialing.

I'm not your enemy.

Your husband came to see me.

- Mr...
- Sam.

- Sam Penny.
- Mr. Penny.

I have people coming at me
from all directions

I have no idea who to trust.

Certainly not a lawyer
who shows up unsolicited
in my garden

with my son.
Who exactly are you?

15 years ago,

your husband came to
the University of Texas

to be honored.
I was awarded a scholarship
in his name.

I wrote him a thanks.
He wrote me back.

I went to law school,
passed the bar and started
to prac...

Several months ago,
your husband came to see me.

He said he thought
he was in trouble.

- What kind of trouble?
- I thought it was ridiculous.

The man was running one of
the fastest growing companies
in America.

And he's worried
about the state
of the Samara Corporation.

He asked me
to quietly investigate.

And what did you find out?

I never had a chance
to tell him.

Tell him what?

Earnings have been overstated
by hundreds of millions
of dollars.

Do you understand?

The company is a wreck.
Very likely bankrupt.

Hey, who's that?

Look, I didn't wanna
say anything while
your sister-in-law

was here yesterday, but...

The cops came
when you were away.

What do you mean?

- What they want?
- What do you think
they wanted?

A man disappears at sea and
a couple of days later his wife

and kids do practically
the same thing.

I had to take the kids away.
I called you.

Five days later.

Ellen, I'm your sister.

I'm on your side.

So, what did the police say?

They kept asking me
about what time
you left that night,

and I told them
I didn't remember.

- Why did you say that?
- Oh, it was obvious something
was wrong.

- The phone rings, you're gone.
- Well, I... I...

No... No... Stop.
Please don't explain.

Don't make up a lie.
Don't tell me the truth.

I don't know what
that phone call was,

and I don't want to know.
And of course, what phone call?

I didn't tell them
about any phone call.

I don't know about
any phone call.

I lost my job because
of that bastard.

Love boats lost at sea.

Who do you think
you're kidding?

Whoa.

Stole from the company
and blamed it on me.

It's not over.
I am watching you.

Hello.

Hello... Hello...

What do you think?
Shall I

sell this car and start
driving the silver one? Huh?

Think I can handle
all those buttons?

Why?

Why, I thought
it might be fun.

We could use a little fun.

You like it better, don't you?

I don't care.

Actually, I hate that car.

- Coming with us?
- Yeah, I'll be right up.

- Too late.
- Go talk to Hannah.

- Just for tonight, okay?
- Oh, honey.

Come home anytime you want.

I'm sorry.
It won't happen again.

We knew the first couple of days
back we're going to be tough.

Like, everybody
was so nice.

You know they are too nice.
Even the people I can't stand.

Just awful.

Can we just go now, please?

- How is she?
- Alright.

She'll go back tomorrow.

It's more Josh
I'm worried about.

- Well, what do you mean?
- I don't know exactly.

He seems distant.
It's like he wants
to get away from me.

- What are you burning?
- Oh, damn.

Oh, no.

- Oh, it's ruined.

Okay, solution.

Crispy critter goes bye, bye.

We pick up a phone.
Dial a pizza.

They deliver.
Children are happy.

Uh, mollified.

That might be nobody.

That's been happening a lot.

Hello.

This is Rachel, her sister.

Yeah, she's all right, I think.

Do you want to speak to her?
She's right here.

No.

Josh! Oh, hold on.

It's for Josh.

- Who is it?
- Sam Penny.

Give me that.

What are you doing
calling my son?

I'm not calling him.
Returning his call.

Let's cut a deal.

Deal? What kind of deal?

You got a teenage daughter,
a grief-stricken son

a world collapsing around you
and I can help.

Oh, really.
How exactly is that?

I won't ask you
any more questions.

I'll leave you alone.

I'll take Josh out fishing.
I know my way around water,
grew up on boats.

And you just happen
to be in this place.

Yes.

No.

Which is it?

I came here after
your husband disappeared.

- Why?
- I rented a room because
I thought maybe I could

find out what happened.

He's a mentor to me.
Godfather to me.

What was I ever able
to give back to him

but some advice on boats?

Well, it was nice
to see Josh excited.

But either of my kids

going off somewhere
with someone I don't know...

Especially now? No.

All right.
So, here are the rules.

You want to fish, you can do it
off my dock within my sight.

You can always join us.

No. I was never much
of a fisherman.

I bet you look great
in waders.

No thanks.

I'll just persevere.

Okay. You ready, you ready,
you ready? All right.

Once you sever the head...

You can skin it or not.
If you do, it just takes

patience and touch.

Pretty soon...

it comes easy.

- I caught the biggest one.
- I know.

- And I think you already
told her.
- But I didn't.

Okay, so how about
I take this...

Hands off.
This is man's work.

- Shall I get the others?
- That...

is a good idea.

It's good to see him happy.

Maybe some of it will
rub off on his mother.

It may take more than a fish.

Go ahead. Name it then.

Are you flirting?

What a delicate word.

What a delicate non-answer.

Well, I thought I wasn't gonna
ask any more questions.

Actually,
I asked the question.

Mrs. McCarthy accuses
Mr. Penny with a knife.

In the kitchen,
standing over the fish.

You aren't married.

- Why aren't you married?
- Was.

What happened?

I needed to grow up.

And now?

And now, I'm...

I'm standing

right here with you.

Yes, you are.

Yes, I am.

But now...

I looked at the charts.

Well...

Here...

Something doesn't make sense.

What doesn't make sense?

With the tide
and the bad weather,

it would have
made sense to leave

and wait until early morning.

Grove was stubborn.
He'd like the challenge.

Yeah, and it's...

It's hard to wrestle
lines and halyards...

not to mention the wheel
by yourself.

And if you don't have
a healthy respect for the sea...

you're stupid.
Grove wasn't stupid.

What are you suggesting?

He could've stayed
at the moorings.

Waited for the tide
and better weather.

If he'd sailed right away,
he would have run aground

because of low tide
at the shoals.

He would have been found.

I think there's
something else.

Something missing,
not just Grove.

Some piece of information.

You were in on it and
I'm going to prove it.

I won't be the scapegoat.
Justice will be served.

You're going to get
what you deserve to.

Hello.

Hello.

- Look what I found.

Come on in.
I was just pouring
a glass of wine.

- What's this?
- Try reading it.

There's your signature.

So, what the hell
is Gates Spur?

Just what is this company
you have nothing
to do with do?

Nothing.

A nothing company
set up to do nothing?

What kind of double talk
is that?

It was just a vehicle
to move money around.
That's all.

- As in laundering?
- Calm down, Ellen.

It's perfectly legitimate.

That's why you and Grove
kept it hidden.

Grove. Not me.

I was out of it after
the first few months.

A few months now, is it?

Months, weeks, days,
whichever. That was it.

I flunked math.

I've never been able
to balance my check book.

But you know what?

If it tastes like it,
smells like it, looks like it,

even I know what it is.

What happened to the money?

I have no idea.

A million dollars plus
and you have no idea?

I was only trying to help him.

You were my husband's
best friend.

Turns out I didn't know him.

I'm not sure
I know you either.

You have an Audi?

Yeah, Grove and I
bought them together.

Same model, same day.

Only I never use mine.

You've never driven it?

Oh, once or twice.

It looks so clean.

I had it washed a while ago.

Been out in the wind
and the rain.

You've got to tell me
the truth now.

Let me make
a recommendation, Ellen.

In fact,
an executive decision.

You burn the proof
of what you deny.

I'm telling you, Ellen,
I'm only trying to help you.

How do you figure that?

Who are you?

I am the same man

I have always been.

I'm ambitious.

I take what I can get.

Grove is no different.

Maybe I'm better at it.

You look like
you could use a drink.

If you could offer a drink
to an alcoholic,

I don't doubt
you could do anything.

Oh, God.

Katie, Katie.

Please, please.
Oh, no, no.

Oh! Thank God.

Oh!

- You saw nothing?
- Just a shape.

- Anyone else in the house?
- My children.

- They were asleep.
They're okay.
- So this is it?

Three slots, two shotguns.

- One's missing, right?
- Oh, I don't know.

- Hello.
- The police were here.

- They subpoenaed me.
- What?

And they subpoenaed
my phone records.

Rachel, there was a break in.
I can't talk now,
the police are here.

- Mrs. McCarthy.
- I have to call you back.

Sorry it took me so long
to get here. Break in?

Uh, there's a shotgun
missing, sir.

- No sign of forced entry.
The children are still asleep.
- What did you see?

I saw a shape. It knocked me
down. I really couldn't see
more than that.

- Could this be related to
your husband's disappearance?
- How?

Mrs. McCarthy isn't sure the gun
wasn't missing before, sir.

- You don't know whether it was
stolen tonight or before?
- No.

Baffling. You think your
husband might've taken the
shotgun on the boat with him?

- I don't remember seeing it.
- He wouldn't normally take
a gun on board, would he?

He sometimes shot duck from
the Samara. I didn't like it.

You didn't like what exactly?

Shooting and guns.

But the boat was Grove's.

What was your husband's
state of mind that day?

Fine.

Well, there were some
financial problems.
There were some,

you know, business reversals,
but I didn't know
about them then.

- He tended to keep things
to himself.
- Ah. Bottled up, hmm?

I suppose so.

Often the way.
How were you two?

- What do you mean?
- Getting along.
The marriage.

Fine.

Detective.

Excuse me.

Your husband's boat.
Coast Guard thinks
they found it.

One five, diver one five.
What's your location, please?

Cooper on one-oh-five.
We're just passing
the outer buoy now.

Get him.

- All right, sir.
- You got it?

Sure you wanna do this?
Not likely to be pretty.

Detective, what
right now is pretty?

- Is that your husband?
- Yes.

A fishing boat
got its net snagged.
That's how we found her.

- I'm very sorry about this.
- Funny thing.

- All the hatches were closed.
- What does that mean?

I don't know.
It's the last thing you'd
think of if she was sinkin'.

Detective, let's get
Mrs. McCarthy outta here.

Let the coroner
do his work. Let's go.

Mrs. McCarthy.

I just heard.
Are you all right?

Get in.

Stop.

Before we go to the house,
there's something I have
to tell you.

Stop the car.

I lied to the police.

- I knew that Grove had taken
the shotgun with him.
- What do you mean?

- What about the break-in?
- I don't know.

I don't understand
that at all.
Doesn't make sense

because I knew
the gun was gone.

Why didn't you tell the cops?

Grove had been drinking.

So tell me again.
How come you're not coming?

In this weather, with
that amount of alcohol?

How come you don't drink
anymore? We used to drink.

- We used to have fun.
- We used to do lot of things.

Yes, what has happened with
that now? Where you been?

I'm here. I am right here.

I don't see anything anymore.

Where are you
going with the gun?

- I don't see you anymore.
- Maybe if you didn't have this.

Ha, ha. Are you suggesting
that I'm drunk?

- I am just saying
that this is--
- You should have a drink.

Don't you ever call me
a drunk again.

But you can call me Ishmael.

Bon voyage.

I was worried all day because
I knew the gun was missing.

I made up an excuse and came
home from Rachel's early.

Katie was at school.

Josh was at a friend's
and the house was empty.

I took a bath
and tried to relax.

I was going to bed when
I heard a shot from the bay.

I tried his cell.

I went to the dock.
The rain was over.

I got in the dinghy and
went out to the boat
at the mooring.

Grove?

Grove was dead.

I couldn't breathe.
I thought I was gonna be sick.

I knew I should've called
the police. But I couldn't.

I thought about Katie
and Josh finding out.

I couldn't let that happen.

I waited until it was close
to first light and set off.

I knew the harbor was tricky.
But I'd watched Grove
do it often enough.

It was daylight before
I could believe it.

I still wasn't through
the shoals.

I knew the tide had to be
just right to cross them.

I'd helped Grove
with the maintenance.

If I could sever the waste
pipes and open the seacocks,

I could scuttle her
and she would sink.

I closed the hatch to keep
the body from floating away.

I set the automatic pilot so
the Samara would keep sailing
out to sea past the shoals.

I made it to shore
and set the dinghy loose.

I made it. I had done it.

The Samara would sink.

And by the time the dinghy
ran out of fuel,
it'd be miles off shore.

So you think
he killed himself.
You sure?

I was afraid the children
would find out.

- That's why I took them away.
- Maybe he took the gun
for sport or protection.

- From what?
- Just thinking
of alternatives.

The way you describe it.
What if he didn't
kill himself?

What if somebody
else shot him?

- Who?
- Aren't there a number
of candidates?

- You, Ken Bradley,
whoever broke into your house.
- No, no.

That was his state of mind.
I saw it. You saw it.

He came to you thinking
there was a way out.

But there wasn't.
I'm sorry I lied.

- Do the police know?
Did you tell them?
- No.

- What good would that do?
- You must tell Kasim.

Tell him I lied about the gun?

And tell him I was on board?
If I thought it would help,
I would have.

I would now.

I'll do whatever I have to
to protect my children.

I've been trying
so hard to help.

And all along that's what
you've been afraid of.

My questions.

- And this awful truth
coming out.
- Oh, Sam.

I had to tell someone.

You believe me, don't you?
You do, don't you?

Elbow up here,
across the chest.
Pitcher's there.

He's throwin' a really
hard fastball at you.

Ball's comin' in. Whoo.
Hit it. There!

- I'm sorry to have to keep
asking you questions.
- That's all right.

But you know the, uh,
missing shotgun was found
with the body.

Preliminary exam says your
husband may have turned
it on himself though.

Why? For what reason? You say
there were money problems?

- Yes.
- Uh-huh.

Anything else?

He was depressed.
He'd started drinking.

Was he drinking
the day he left?

Not exactly.

- It isn't safe.
You could drown, Grove.
- What?

- You could drown.
- I'm gonna drown
in this rain.

The safest place to be
is in the boat.

See ya.

Was he capable of, uh,
sinking the boat
and shooting himself?

I mean, a pretty tall order.

Yes.

Well, we'll know more
when they pull up the boat.

Gotta get permission.
Uh, budget approval.
Conservation, Commissioner.

I don't know why
they bother. Finally, they're
gonna have to say yes.

- My family wouldn't mind
if it stayed down there.
- We can't do that.

Not to a possible crime scene.

- Crime scene?
- Whatever happened,
all the hatches shut?

Even if it is suicide.

I always envied people
livin' on the water.

Yes, we're very lucky.

Katie.

Katie.

Hey, you're not ready.

- I'm not going.
- What do you mean
you're not going?

- What's the matter?
- Nothing, I'm not going.
I don't feel well.

Now, come on. Dad's never
home. You've never home. It's
our chance to be together.

Just try and go easy
on the old man, will ya?

He's having his share
of problems.
Now come on.

- This'll be good for us
and it'll be fun.
- I hate that word.

- What word?
- F-U-N. Fun.

What was that all about?

Clearly, I've lost
my instruction manual
on this one.

I told her she was playin'
her music too loud.

Really, how can you say that?

- Is that it?
- What's happening?

I don't know
what's happening.

I mean, I knew our marriage
was in trouble.

It-- Wait a minute.
What are you doing?

I gotta get rid of it.
I am not gonna go down
this road again.

You know, there are other
methods, like give 'em to me.

Now I just didn't
see it coming.

I was so blind.

The phone call that night.
It was Grove, wasn't it?

Did he threaten to kill himself?
Is that why you took off?

You know, I thought
I saw all the signs.
And he was fooling around.

But I was...

I was really angry
and ashamed.

I know.

But he wasn't.
What do you mean you know?

- What do you mean wasn't?
- I saw him one night.

But it was Ken.
I was wrong.

No, you weren't.

He was charming,
seductive, smart.

It was catnip.

And I'm not sure
he could stop himself.

He let women know.

He let me know.

There's more.

A week before he disappeared,
I came in here.

And, well, Little Miss
Fix It couldn't resist
straightening up and...

This book was sticking out.
So, um, I took it out
and I looked in it.

And I... I...
I didn't know what to do.

So I did nothing.
But I put it back.

- Oh, Grove.
- I'm so sorry, Ellen.

May be I should have
destroyed them. Maybe
I should have told you.

I almost did.

I don't know, maybe
I shouldn't tell you now.

It doesn't matter anymore.

You know who it is?

We're gonna put
the other two there.

I marked off the space
over here.

Left corner.

Put it back?

Caroline Manchester?
Ellen McCarthy...

I wondered if you'd come.
And I wondered what I'd say
and what you'd do...

Well, you didn't set off
the metal detectors,
so maybe you're not armed.

Someone has been calling me
and breathing and hanging up.

Someone broke into my house.

Maybe looking for these
special portraits.

You think it was me.

- Do you think I killed him?
- I didn't say that.

Well, I don't make
breathy phone calls.

- And I hope these are
being destroyed.
- Apparently not.

I didn't even know Grove
was married at first.

- I was enlisted to help on
this charity fund drive.
- The Marberry Foundation.

He was so driven
and charismatic
and yet vulnerable.

I knew he was unhappy.
He was troubled.

It didn't last long.

Married, the photos.

So risky.

Not for me.

- What about the missing money?
- Is that how you found out
about us?

- Ken told you?
- Ken?

- He introduced me to Grove.
- Ken knew that you and
Grove were having an affair?

He lent us his house.

He had the house booked.
Cameras everywhere.

And Grove found out that Ken
was cooking Samara's earnings.

Inflating them.
Paying off the accountants.

And it sent Grove
way over to the dark side.

Sleeping with me. So he could
stop thinking about it and yet
believing he could fix it.

Take from foundation,
cover it up.

Pay Peter and repay Paul.

And I was only the pawn.

- Can I ask you a question?
- Name it.

What do you want from me?

Whatever you have to give.

I don't think
there's much left.

You're wrong.

Now let's go crazy,

get drunk. Drive all night.

Except I can't drink anymore,
I got two kids
I gotta look out for.

So what do you suggest,
Mr. Penney?

I suggest you come in
out of the rain.

I suggest that that
was better than
drinking or driving.

I shouldn't have come.
I better go.

I suggest that's
not going to happen.

Where's the birthday boy?
Uh, there he is.

Katie, Katie, come here,
please. I wanna show
you something.

- What?
- Josh, put that on the table.
Come on.

- Put that on the table.
- Okay.

Come on.
Katie, I wanna show you this.
You're gonna like it.

- Give it to John!

- No.
- Just put it on. Come on.
Rachel, grab the camera.

- I got it.
- All right, here we go.

- You guys set? All right.
- Say cheese.

- You ready?
On three. One, two, three.
- Cheese.

Come on, Josh.
Everyone. Cake time.

- Light the candles.
Blow them out.
- Watch out. Cake comin' in.

- Wow.
- Oh! Look at that.

Ah, cool.

- Let me get a picture.
- Blow all these candles out.
I'll get it, honey. Here.

I want a big piece.

What're you doing here?

Sorry, I had no choice.

- Well, you can just
come back later.
- I can't do that.

I have a warrant
for your arrest for
the murder of your husband,

Jeffrey Grove McCarthy.

You come to my house
on my son's birthday?

- I'm not going to
let you ruin it.
- Jinks, handcuffs.

You're just gonna have to
wait till he can celebrate it

or you're gonna need a lot
more than those handcuffs.

Nine, eight, seven,
six, five, four...

Three, two, one.

Whoa.

- Good job.
- Great job.

Okay. So, uh,
you cut the cake, honey.

All right. But you be very
careful with the knife.

Mom, what's happening?

I'll be home soon.
Don't worry.
It'll be all right.

Can we go now, please?

It'll be okay.

Yeah. Used to be
bottom of the sound,

underwater, bloat
and rotten and the
end of evidence.

Science and technology
keep forging ahead.

Though I wanted to apologize
about the birthday party.

These things sometime happen.

- You're a sly, manipulative
son of a bitch, aren't ya?
- Thank you.

Appears now that your
husband's wound could not
have been self-inflicted.

- You may need that alibi
you don't seem to have.
- Why should I need an alibi

when I haven't done
anything wrong.

Oh, did I mention there may be
blood remaining in the cabin?

Chew marks on the deck.

And if DNA samples survive
on your husband's skin
or under his nails,

on the china and the glasses,

we'll be ready to take
a sample of yours.

Do you know
a Caroline Manchester?

No.

Yes.

- I met her.
- Know anything about these?

So you've never
seen 'em before?

- I think I'd remember it
if I had.
- I don't know.

You don't seem
to remember a lot, do you?

Here you go.

We have here a record
of your husband's
cell phone calls.

Calls made to your home
at 11:43 that night.

Ring any bells?
Where were you?

11:40, I was in the bath.

Excuse me?

- I was taking a bath.
- Do you remember
taking a bath?

- Yes, I remember
taking a bath.
- Are you sure?

I like baths.

And so you wouldn't have been
able to hear the phone?

- No.
- Was the answering machine on?

- Obviously not.
- You'd remember that?

I think I'd have remembered it
if my husband left me
a message. Yes.

Would you remember what time
you turned the answering
machine back on?

I don't remember.

- Uh, and there was no
call from the boat?
- No.

- Anybody else in the house
could've taken the call?
- No one.

- Not your son?
- No.

No.

The call from your husband's
cell was answered.
It's here in black and white.

- One minute
and forty-three seconds.
- How do you explain that?

I am not lying.
I didn't receive any calls.

- No. Because you were
on the boat, weren't you?
- No.

- You were makin' the calls.
Who were you calling?
- It wasn't me.

Okay. Let's go back to that
morning, the morning that
your husband left.

I told you. I got up.

I reported him missing. And
then I waited for three days
for you to take it seriously.

Okay.

How about earlier?

- Dawn. No. Before dawn.
What were you doin' then?
- I was asleep.

I know it's difficult,
but, uh, try to recall.

- I was in bed asleep.
- And, of course,
you're sure of that.

Yes.

Well, seems
we have an eyewitness.

Before dawn on the morning
of August eighth, I was at
the shoals and saw a boat.

The rain had stopped. A woman
was wearing a blue slicker.

Could that have been you,
Mrs. McCarthy?

Were you on board
the Samara that morning?

I don't wanna say anymore.

You knew about the affair,
you knew about the gun,
you knew about the money,

you were wearing
the blue slicker and you were
on the Samara that morning.

Were you not?

- He was already dead.
- Yeah. After you killed him.

No. He killed himself.

- That's what it looked like.
- What made you go on the boat?

I heard
the noise, the gun.

You told us before
you didn't hear a sound.

I lied.

- What about the phone call?
I...

I pressed the send button
on the cell.

It must've gone through
to the house

and I dropped the phone.
It must've gone

- through to the
answering machine.
- Which you then erased.

Yes!
- So another lie.

I just,
I couldn't bear my children

knowing what...

I just couldn't bear
my children knowing what kind
of man their father was

and that he killed himself.

- What else did you lie about?
- No.

You tell us
the truth about anything?
Why did you kill your husband?

- No!
- Why did you kill him?

Set up a line-up,
then we'll book her.

Oh, Kevin Ordell? Okay.
Good. Bring him in.

Whatever she said,
I want that positive ID.

Mr. Ordell, thanks for coming.

- So, this is how it works.
- Can you identify the woman
you saw?

- Just like in the movies.
- No. This is the real thing.
Focus, please.

The women. Identification.
Can you?

I'm not sure.

I thought you said
you were sure.

Well, ya know.

Okay, Mr. Ordell. Try again.

Look at each one,
closely this time.

That one.

- Which is that one?
- That one. The fourth one.

- I saw her.

I think you may wanna
hear this.

Excuse me.

I don't understand
what happened.

- I had a get outta jail
free card.
- What does that mean?

- I told 'em.
- What?

What you told me not to, but
I thought I had to. The truth.

Obviously, you told the same
and our two stories
corroborated each other.

- And that's that?
- Well, I wouldn't go that far.

They're not pressin' charges
for now. No disappearing again
for six weeks.

They'll Lojack you.
They couldn't hold you anyway.

They got you on the boat,
but not with the gun.

The truth?
All we have is circumstantial.

Can't wait to see
what happens next.

- Oh. I am so glad.
- Me, too.

- Where is Josh?
- He's in his room.

- What are you doing here?
- I thought I'd just
drop on by.

- You can just drop on
outta here.
- Um, you can thank me first.

For what? For lying?

To me? To Grove?
To the company?
To the police probably.

Or maybe I should thank you
for Caroline Manchester and
for sharing those photographs.

- Where's the hero, your new
boyfriend, Sam Penney?
- Goodbye, Ken.

- Do you know who he is, Ellen?
- Yeah. I know who he is.

A friend. A lawyer.
An ex-student of Grove's.

Your new boyfriend works
for the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

He was
investigating us, Ellen.

He was about to indict Grove
and he's gonna indict me.

I'm the only one being
honest with you, Ellen.

Hey, Josh!

Hey. Where you goin', buddy?

Hey, Josh, what is it?

Josh.

Everything's gonna be
okay now. You'll see.

I don't know what to do.

There's fishin', baseball.

Loads of things to do.

No.

What do you mean?

- It's my mom.
- Well, she's free now.
It's all right.

- They won't arrest her again?
- It won't happen again.
It was a mistake.

But what if they find out?

Find out about what?

That Mom shot Dad.

No, Josh.

She didn't.

Sh, Sh, Sh, Sh, She did.

I saw her.

I saw her with the gun.

- And then I heard the shot.

The next day, everyone said
dad had disappeared.

But I knew Mom had killed him.

- I believed you. You could've
told me the truth.
- And what truth is that?

About the Securities
Exchange Commission.

And what you were
really up to.

I believed you
and you were lying.

You wanna talk about the truth
and lying and believing?

I believed you.

Every time you changed
your story, I took the hook
and I swallowed it whole.

- And you played me
like a fish.
- What are you talking about?

Josh. He saw you load
Grove's gun and go to the dock
and then he heard the shot.

He heard his
own mother shoot his father.
Why, Ellen? Why?

Money? Jealousy? Revenge?

Why am I even askin' you?
You'll just tell me
another lie.

I was gonna call Kasim.
But how can I?

Josh is so worried about the
police taking you away again.
The perfect mother.

You better think of something
believable to tell him.

Mom.

Where have you been? You said
you'd be back hours ago.

Josh saw me with the gun.

- Well, has he told anyone?
- Sam Penney.

- He's going.
- What do you mean he's going?
To the police?

I don't think so.

He said he wouldn't
'cause of Josh.

I thought
this was all over, Mom.

I don't know anymore, sweetie.

You've got to tell him.

You've got to.

You go on inside.
I'll be right there.

- Go on.

Katie!

Katie!

Katie?

Who are you? What do you want?

- Who are you?
- You know who I am.

- Who is he?
- I have no idea.

- Katie, get over here.
- Don't move.

I saw you. I saw you that
night and they let you go.

Not orange. I saw you
in that blue slicker.

- Who are you?
- Of course you know.

I was on to them. Your rotten
husband tracking 'em.

Saw you in that blue slicker.
I saw you on that boat.

No. That...

- That's not what happened.
- Katie.

- I was...
- Katie.

- It's too late, Mom.
- I don't care who you are.

- She's not saying anymore.
- They blame me.

They fired me for
what they did. I didn't do it.

Why do you think
I broke in here before?
To find the proof.

- You work for Samara?
- I had a job. My life gone
because of what they did.

- And you were in on it.
- It's all right.
Just let her go.

It's me you want.
It's me you have to deal with.

Go on, Katie.
Go get Josh and go.

Don't! Just stay.

Mom.

- I said go.

If you saw me on the boat,
why are you here?

You know, I was gonna do it.
It was my job to kill him and
you took that away from me.

- Then you should be
thanking me.
- Josh.

- Get him, Katie.
- Oh, no, no. You knew.

- Go.
- You were part of it, too.
And they, they let you go.

- No, I wasn't.
- Yeah? Sure.

- Well, it's too late now.
- Ahhh.

Katie, run. Go, Josh.

Copy fourteen.
Lincoln eight four fifty-nine
at the McCarthy residence.

Watch your head, sir.

Roger that. Meet you inside.

I couldn't stop
thinking about that man.

Just coming into my house
with a gun.

That ruined man.

And I realized it's not
the affairs or the money.

It's all the lives
that are the consequences
of what Grove did.

I mean, I don't blame that man
for wanting revenge.

I know how he felt.

Dear Sam Penney.

I have to tell somebody.

I have to tell you
what happened. For my mom.

Maybe for me, too.

Are you sure this is a good
idea? I've got homework to do
and Mom will be mad.

That's great. I'll help
you with your homework.
I was an A student, you know.

And we'll call Mom.

You be careful goin' down
there. I'll tie this up.

Whoa.

- Where are they?
- Ah!

They must've went
back up to the house.
Josh wasn't feeling well.

Well, can we go?

Well, we'll call.

It's busy. She's probably
tryin' to call us.

Well, let's just go back
to the house.

No. I'll, I'll call again
in a minute.

Sit down. Maybe this is...

Maybe this is good.

Give us a chance to talk
about last weekend.

I, I may not see you
for a while,

and I wanted to apologize.

I'll try again.

Busy.

Maybe it's the storm or...

just bein' down here.

I am truly, truly sorry.

- I felt so bad.
- Yeah. Don't feel bad.

It wasn't you.

It was my fault.

Okay.

So there I was, I was goin'
up to meet the President

and just as I got
in front of the First Lady,

I, I hooked my foot on the rug
or somethin' and I fell
right on my face.

- Right in front of her.

Secret service had to pick
me up. I wasn't even drunk.

- You're such an idiot.

- You can say that.
- I meant, Dad,
that we did this.

- But wherever Mom is,
I have to get going.
- Ah.

- No more. No, no.
- I just wanted to make up
for what happened.

- No. I'll get the dinghy
and go home.
- Oh, you can stay over.

No. Dad, no. I wanna go home.

Oh, Dad, Dad.

What do you mean, Dad?
You can call me Grove.

- No. Step or not,
you're still my dad.
- Ah.

Oh. Believe me,
it's all right.

Katie?

It's all right, Katie.

- And you'll be fine.
You can stay.
- Stop it.

- It'll be fine.
- Stop it, Dad.

- Come on, Katie.
- Stop it.

Come on.

Get off me.

- It's okay.
- Get off of me.

Ow.

Get off...

Get off me!

Get off me! Get off...

Ahhh!

I got back to the dock
in the rain and the mud,
but Mom wasn't home.

She'd never been on the boat.
She was at Aunt Rachel's.

That's where I found her on
dad's cell and she came.

Sweetheart.

Oh, darling. Oh, sweetheart.
All right.

Okay, baby. It's all right.
It's all right.

Mom gave me
something to sleep.

She told me not to worry. That
everything would be all right.

I didn't know what to do.

I could think
of only one thing.

I took the shotgun.

I loaded it.

I went to the boat.

- I destroyed the evidence.

And any trace of a neck wound.

I made it look like a suicide.

The pearls.

The pearls.

I picked up the pearls.

I picked up every one.

- Uh, I thought you'd gone.
- In the morning.

What are you doing here?

I came back to apologize.

To...

To tell you...

I don't know.

To try and explain.

I'm sorry.

So am I.

I did what I had to do.

I regret so many things,
Doctor Keller.

That's what I have
to live with.

But all I can do now is,

wherever we go,
just live day by day

and protect my children

the best I can,
no matter what it takes.

And that's the truth.
