Thank you.

Why are you hiding, Dylan?

You just want to talk?

Leave me alone.

What do we got here?

Crafty? Isn't that your hot mom's restaurant?

Crazy how a fox like her could give birth to such a duckling.

I'm not ugly.

Oh, yeah.

What was your name again?

It was, uh, Courtney.

Yeah. You don't mind, do you?

Give it back.

Sharing's caring.

If you want it so bad, get it then. What?

Look what you did now.

What will Courtney say?

That was your beautiful work.

You're not just going to let it sit there, are you?

Eat it now!

I said eat it!

Eat it! This is the boys' bathroom.

It's free. You're not supposed to be in here.

125 decibels. I pull this and your ears will be ringing all the way to Prince's

office. Let him go.

Is that yours, Meredith?

Freaks of a feather flock together, huh?

Courtney, Courtney, Courtney, Courtney.

Courtney, Courtney.

Courtney?

Courtney?

Is everything all right?

Yeah, sorry, I was just somewhere else.

Um, yeah, it looks like everything that we agreed on is there.

Great. Ben?

Yeah.

Thank you.

I'll file the petition first thing tomorrow morning.

Does Dylan know about this?

We're going to tell him.

Tonight, after dinner.

You know, he's a great kid.

He's going to get through this.

I want to congratulate you both.

20 years, I have never seen the process be so civil.

You two have a lot of respect for each other.

Please stop thinking about him.

I wasn't.

Yes, you were. You had that...

Making my list of enemies fake.

Listen, all you need to know is Sawyer's a loser.

And you're probably going to be his boss one day.

Maybe I'll put nitrate under his company car.

I just wanted to say I'm really sorry for earlier.

It wasn't cool.

Your grief sounds real sincere.

Get out of here. I'm not talking to you.

Dylan.

I'm really hoping you'll forgive me.

I'd love another shot.

At your mom.

Takes a fox.

Dylan!

Dylan!

Stop!

I'm worried about Dylan.

All we can do is be there for him.

Something we can agree on.

He's the one thing we did right.

Will you be home for dinner?

Yes.

As long as we don't have any late apples.

Hello?

Yeah, this is Courtney Morris.

I'm his mother.

No, are you sure this is Dylan Morris you're talking about?

There must be a mistake.

Okay, yeah. Um, yeah, I'll be right there.

Dylan got in a fight.

Dylan, that's not possible. Yeah. I'm coming with you. No, I'll be fine. I

the lab is busy.

Courtney, I want to go. I said I'll be fine.

I've done this much by myself so far, so why stop now?

I didn't mean that.

Um, I'll call you.

Courtney?

Is there anything left?

I'll call you.

I am so sorry I'm late.

Courtney, this is Andrea.

She's Sawyer's mom?

I am really very sorry about all this. Why are you sorry? He hit you. Be quiet,

Sawyer. It would seem that earlier this afternoon, Dylan assaulted Sawyer.

Dylan assaulted Sawyer?

I'm so sorry.

Please, Dylan has never assaulted anyone.

Wait, what is true?

He makes my life hell.

You know better than to get violent. You raise your hand, and then you bring

yourself down to his level.

My level? I didn't hit anyone. Quiet, Sawyer.

We've had a student come forward with details about what might have provoked

Allen's actions.

Did you take him into the bathroom?

Try to make him eat his lunch off the floor? I bet I know who told you that.

lapdog loser friend, Meredith. That is enough, Sawyer. I am sick of you being

hurtful.

It doesn't matter who told me.

I'm not going to offend anyone.

But you will both be back here on Monday under watchful eyes, including mine.

And if I see or hear anything, we'll be back here getting comfortable.

You understand?

Okay.

Thank you.

What is he doing here? I called him. I need to get away from you for a while.

You are not getting in that car. You know what he's done. I know what you've

told me.

Why do you keep letting him into your head? I'm not going with you.

Go.

You're just like him.

Go.

There's the outlaw.

So, probation?

No, he got a slap on the wrist.

He's very lucky.

You told him what Sawyer did.

You set up for me.

Of course I did. You're my best friend.

So, now that you're a free man, bowling tomorrow?

Uh, this outlaw has some community service to do.

He's grounded until Monday.

Too bad. I had something I needed to tell you.

So Sawyer bullies me and I'm the one being punished.

You should know better than to get violent.

Wrong is wrong and right is right. It's not always that simple. It is always

that simple.

Listen, some people are going to want to make your life difficult because you're

smarter than them.

Now get in the car.

He did what?

I don't want to talk about it.

Okay. He made you eat it off the floor?

He said he didn't want to talk about it. And that's why you pummeled him?

Pummel? I know it was wrong.

Wrong?

Who said it was wrong?

Look, I, for one, am glad that you stood up for yourself.

Good to see you putting that punch and bake to use, huh?

How about getting called to the principal's office?

Are you proud of that?

Better than the nurse's office.

This is how your kid has learned a lesson. He won't bother you again.

I think what your father's trying to say is... I am saying exactly what I mean

to say, Courtney.

In fact, if I was there, I would have done the same thing. I'm sorry I

have been able to walk to the principal's office.

You had no right to do that.

Do what?

Tell him the truth?

That was not the truth.

You were just trying to get back at me for what I said this morning, and you

know it.

I was trying to be involved.

Apparently I've failed at that for the past 17 years.

I never said that, Ben.

You didn't need to.

Your work is important to you. I respect that.

I didn't mean to say you were an absentee father.

But when it comes to school, parent -teacher meetings, awards, I'm always

one there, front and center.

I know.

I'm sorry I wasn't around more.

I just wish that you hadn't encouraged him to be aggressive.

That is supposed to be a conversation with us together.

I don't know if he realized, but pretty soon we're going to have a lot of one

-on -one conversations with Dylan.

Getting our heads together is not always going to be practical.

So when should we tell him?

Not now. Over this weekend. We'll have to wait until the whole thing blows

Well, you look good.

Look healthy.

Well, yeah, that's what happens when you get out of Andrew's nun house.

Well, you knock that off and just call her mom.

Well, she's not mom to me.

Not anymore.

Hey, you know what, man?

You want to pay this baby off right here?

Huh? In full.

It's a pizza delivery job.

But I bet you she doesn't tell you any of that.

She said it was the watch.

When you pawned dad's watch, that was the last straw. She could deal with all

the fights you got into and the money you always took.

But the watch, she said it broke her heart.

See, it's just a lie.

I mean, I can't really break what's not there either.

Hey, and you know what? I think I have something to drink to.

That is saying, yeah.

And I think you should drink to it too.

Come on. Oh, what? You scared the Sawyer's going to get a little spanky?

you go.

Thank you.

You know,

she's not all bad, Evan.

And if you just talk to her.

Oh, yeah. Okay. You want me to talk to her? You want me to apologize?

Well, for what?

And why? Why?

You want me to just give her a reason to put me in chains forever?

Why would I do that?

Why, Sawyer, when I got all this right here? Why?

You know what? She is all bad, Sawyer.

Hey, don't you forget that, man.

Don't you forget that.

All right, man, hey, listen.

Why did you call me to pick you up? Why me?

I didn't want the lecture.

About how I could be so much more, about the potential I have. You should

probably give me the same spiel, huh? Yeah, but she's... So why don't you keep

you around, okay?

You know she doesn't actually see anything in you.

I hope you know that.

Yeah, I know that.

Yeah, see, it's all lies, man.

You want to know what's real, though?

I'll tell you.

There's this little space, right?

This little extra spare room in my place.

It's all yours.

Once you start coming to your senses, huh?

You come to your senses, right? It's yours.

But listen, you know what?

You don't have to make my own money now.

Check this out.

Do this right here. This is what you should use in that little dorm kit right

here. I can't bring something like that into school. They'll kick me out before

graduation.

What's happening, huh?

What's happening, man? I mean, listen, you know what it is. Andrews made you

soft, huh?

Yeah. Yeah, I know what you want to start. You want to finish high school.

Meanwhile,

you're getting floundered.

Well, I'm that kid, man, and his dorky little girlfriend.

Meredith isn't his girlfriend, and I didn't get clowned. Yeah, you did.

You did.

I mean, what did I tell you when Dad left us, man? What did I say to you?

I said to you, man, you don't trust nobody, all right? You don't believe

nothing. And if you against this whole world, you're sorry. If I go near him

now, I'm toast. It's better to just leave it alone.

Stop it, all right? Stop.

Listen to yourself, man.

You know what I mean? Listen to me. You're going to show them what happens

they mess with you, all right?

Yeah, but get a slot. I need a project.

Mr. Adams loves you. You're like his little science genius.

You'll get a slot no matter what.

You can't be here. Will you shut up for one second? I want to talk to Dylan.

Look, I was thinking about our whole thing over the weekend.

I wanted to say... Mom's even hotter up close.

He's going to be in jail before we even graduate.

And he's the worst.

So you don't need to worry about him.

Hello? Are you listening to me?

I know why you don't like me, Sawyer.

What did you just say to me?

You don't like me because I'm smarter than you.

I get good grades. School's easy for me. You should stop talking.

And it's harder for you when you don't like that.

That's why you bother me.

I said shut up.

Dylan, what are you doing?

You feel like you wasted all this time in high school, and now you feel like

your life is going to be empty.

You want to go, freak?

Get out of here, Sawyer. Shut up, Meredith.

Another one of Hot Mama's sandwiches?

Sawyer.

Andrea Wilkinson.

I'm Detective Kathy Lambert. I need to have a word with you, please.

I'm afraid I have some bad news about your son.

Evan?

No, ma 'am. Sawyer.

There was an incident at school today involving another student.

We don't have all the details yet, but what we know from the witnesses is that

Sawyer went into sudden convulsions, seizures.

He collapsed and he died.

What? I'm so sorry.

Oh, my...

Andrea?

Andrew, I've been getting texts.

Sorry I didn't answer his phone.

You just tell me he's upstairs.

What happened, Andrew? What happened?

You did this.

your phone.

You kept trying to take him away.

No. Get out.

Get away from me! What are you doing? I didn't do anything. Will you talk?

I'm so sorry. Take me to him right now.

We have to talk with your mom first.

Andrew, where is my brother?

Go.

No. This isn't about you.

You...

He's Dylan's age.

I can't even imagine. This is not supposed to happen.

It's a tragedy.

I know Sawyer wasn't the best kid, but to die so brutally.

Did they have any idea what happened?

Social media speculation.

Some say it could be maybe he took something or sudden death syndrome.

I mean, you can lose your mind trying to think of... Can you believe I stopped

it? I mean, seriously.

It's not devastating.

It's not some tragedy.

Dylan. Sawyer was a bad person.

And a bad person doesn't become a saint just because they died.

Dylan. What?

Hey.

Dylan.

I get that you didn't like Sawyer, but you gotta have some compassion.

Why? Because now there's hundreds of people's lives they can't ruin?

Dylan, you can't seriously think that.

You guys aren't sorry either.

I mean, what difference does it make to you? You're just upset because you think

it's the way that you should feel.

At least I'm being honest.

It is called empathy, Dylan.

What has gotten into you?

Nothing, I'm just... I'm just not a hypocrite.

And I'm not sorry he's dead.

What just happened there?

I don't know, maybe he...

Processing things differently. He's got his defenses up.

Okay, this is crazy. I am calling in tonight.

No, don't do that.

Billy, I'm here.

It's a fully booked night. You should be there.

I promise we'll keep an eye on him.

Fine.

You're gonna love this.

Okay, enjoy. Thank you. Thank you.

Well, you two are becoming regular.

Keep it up. We're going to have to name a dish after you.

Okay.

It was cool you had a comfortable five's meal.

Oh, yeah. Well, you know, they didn't eat it, though.

Right is right.

Well, my last box wasn't that nice.

Talk to Dylan, by the way.

I know that he goes to the school where that boy died.

You know, they didn't know each other.

They don't really run in the same circle, so... Can you go get some more

spoons? We're running low.

Sure. Thanks.

Don't worry, Dylan. I'll be right with you.

Dylan, what's going on?

Get in the car, please.

What are you doing with my son, Courtney Morris?

What do you think you're doing?

We just need to ask him a few questions.

Your husband can fill you in.

You'll both need to follow me to the station.

Ben, what are they talking?

What is this about?

It's about Sawyer.

Sawyer Wilkinson was poisoned.

His autopsy came through this morning.

A fatal dose of lead acetate, boron, and mercury.

Likely ingested through food, but we don't know for sure yet.

That's terrible.

But how does that connect to us being here?

Sawyer's last meal consisted of sourdough bread, turkey, lettuce, and

That's Dylan's lunch.

Are you saying someone tried to poison Dylan?

Not exactly, no.

Sawyer was poisoned with chemicals that could be found in the science lab.

I know Dylan spends a lot of time there.

Wait a minute, you think I did this?

He works there after school and during study periods.

You think Dylan poisoned Sawyer?

By dumping chemicals on his own lunch.

Is that seriously why we're here? This is a joke. What is this, some 50s

novel? I mean, you can't seriously sit there and say that with a straight face.

Sawyer was talking to you the day he died, wasn't he?

Some student said it was heated.

Like you were trying to pick a fight. I wasn't.

I was just telling him that I wasn't going to let him bother me anymore.

And this was after the fight you got into last week.

What was that fight about?

He stole my lunch, ate some, threw it on the ground, and tried to make me eat

it.

That's what I heard, too.

So what, Dylan poisons his own lunch and is counting on Sawyer to try to eat it

again? Come on, what is this?

The boys were ordered to stay apart from each other. This isn't even possible.

I have an autopsy report here that says it is possible.

Doesn't look so bizarre down there in black and white, no, does it?

Sawyer did eat your lunch the day he died, didn't he, Dylan? Look, I hated

but I didn't do anything.

Why would I poison my own lunch?

You got me there.

Why would you?

Have you been in a dark place recently?

Sawyer has been like this forever.

Okay, it's not new.

But your parents, though.

Divorcing.

It's gonna hurt.

Divorce?

Honey, I'm sorry.

We haven't told you.

I saw a court filing from last week. You mean to tell me... You're thinking you

guys are getting a divorce?

We've been very cooperative, Detective.

even though you grabbed my son in the dead of night from his house.

And why'd you do that exactly?

Huh? Was it to keep him quiet?

Because you have nothing beyond speculation?

Or the hope that a vulnerable boy might break and give you the chance you need?

If you were going to convict him of a crime, I imagine you would have done it

now, so I know you're not going to do that.

But thanks to you, our son now knows that his family's about to split up.

So I would like to take him home and talk about that.

So respectfully, detective, will that be all?

For now.

Come on, Dylan.

I'm filing a complaint.

She had no right to tell him about the divorce.

Yeah, but we filed.

It's public record.

Besides, it's our fault that we didn't tell him.

And there is a much bigger issue at play here.

Lambert thinks that Dylan actually could have done this.

You don't think that's actually going to go anywhere?

She brought him in.

It was a scare tactic.

Everyone hated Sawyer.

They figure one of the kids did it, so, you know, they're trying to see who they

can break.

Oh, you cannot be that naive.

Wait, are you... Are you telling me that you think... It's not nothing.

Sawyer ate Dylan's lunch.

And then he died.

Dylan did nothing wrong.

They'll... They'll soak up the real evidence and then they'll apologize to

I promise. Yeah, well, I can't take that chance.

Lambert wants to make Dylan pay for this?

And if he didn't do this, then we need to find a way to prove that he's

innocent.

You know, Detective, just leave it to the police, okay?

Ben, this is Dylan's life.

I will take chances on a lot of things, but I will not take chances on our son.

And you shouldn't either.

Okay.

You should go talk to him.

Give him enough time to cool off.

He's gone.

I'll grab the car, circle the block. He can't have gone far.

No, I'm going with you. He can't. What if he decides to come home?

Look, I'll find him, okay?

He'll be all right, I promise. No.

Mom? Dylan!

Oh, my God, honey. I'm so glad you're back.

Do not ever do that to me again.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I just... I just need a time to think.

You know, we had a little talk in the car.

You should have never found out that way.

I'm sorry.

You must be so confused.

Is it what you both wanted?

I mean, like, will you guys both be happier because of it?

I know it doesn't mean you love me any less.

Honestly, it's the best thing for both of us.

Then, okay.

All that stuff I said about Sawyer the other night, I didn't mean it, okay?

I know.

I know you didn't do it, Dylan.

Okay?

Go on.

Time to head home. We're locking up.

Sure thing, Principal Stewart. All right.

I should really stop making a habit of going into the boys' bathroom.

What are you doing here?

I knew you were studying late, so I thought I'd give you a ride home.

I saw your locker.

I think it was Brady and the other jock.

They were at practice late.

So everyone knows, huh?

Word gets around here fast.

But don't worry, I didn't say anything, I promise.

What's wrong?

You know what I just can't stop thinking about, like, all day?

Everyone whispering about me.

Talking about what they think I did.

You know, Sori and I used to play together in elementary school.

We were never close, but we would play tag at recess.

He was always faster than me.

He was always faster than, like, all of us.

Sometimes I think he would slow himself down just to give us a chance.

But, I mean, by the time middle school rolled around, he was, like, a

different person.

I used to wonder if he was, like, taken over by some evil spirit or something

dumb like that.

I'm not saying he wasn't a monster. He just, he wasn't always.

He just looked so scared, Meredith.

Standing there, not being able to breathe.

You don't have to go through this alone, B.

I mean, your parents are the only ones here for you. I'm here too.

I just want you to know that.

We've known each other for a really long time.

I just really care about you.

No, wait.

Sorry, I'm okay. It's just... Everything?

Yeah, everything.

Let's go.

I don't want to fight you. I just want to talk to you.

Andrea, please.

I, um... I'm all you got left.

Don't remind me.

Well... That wasn't called for.

Please.

Come in. We need to talk.

Those are some of your brother's things.

I can't hold on to it anymore.

So don't eat it then?

I'm not talking about this stuff. I'm talking about this. I'm talking about

of it. Of what?

The hurt.

The resentment. It hurts too much.

Evan, this is not the way to move forward.

Evan.

I forgive you.

I do.

And I am sorry for the part I played in what happened between us.

The other day, you said that I filled Sawyer's head

with all sorts of stuff. I was just angry.

I shouldn't have said that. No, let me finish.

You were right.

Let my anger for you bleed out onto Sawyer.

And I didn't let him be his own person. I didn't let him have his own feelings.

And I saw the thing that you two had. I just... That was not fair of me.

Mm -mm.

So I am just like my father.

You're not like your father, Evan. You know how Dad used to hammer me up for

things he did to hurt us, right?

I've hurt you, Andrea.

Mom, I have hurt you, Mom.

And I am going to make it better. I'm going to step up because Sawyer was

better. So I'm going to be better, too.

Only I'm not interested in forgiveness.

You see, there's a right way to go about this from how I see it. There's a right

way. And then there's a wrong way. And the cops never do it the right way. So

I'm going to do it. Evan.

No, I will.

No, no.

Not again.

Look, you know that they know who did this, okay?

And then they just let him go. All right? They had him there. They let him

So what do you want me to do? If they let him go, they will have had a reason.

No, no. Look, Sawyer told me himself that the kid hated him, okay?

He poisoned Sawyer. It's right there for you. And now he's out there. He's

walking free. We do not know that he even had anything to do with it. We have

let the cops do their job. You don't trust them over me, huh?

How about over him, huh?

Look, I know that I've done a lot of wrong, okay? And I got a lot to make up

for. So I'm going to do that, okay?

I know that, Mom.

I will.

With this, okay?

Sawyer.

Sawyer's dead.

And that little freak who's responsible, he's not going to get away with it as

long as I draw breath. You do not do anything stupid.

I'm not stupid.

I'm not. I've never thought about anything more clearly than I have in

moment in my entire life, okay?

Okay.

If you want to forgive me, you can forgive me tomorrow, okay?

Dylan, are you here?

Dylan?

Mom?

What's wrong?

I'm glad you're okay.

Why wouldn't I be?

Mom, what's happening?

Sorry, I'm just... I'm a little tense.

This is a delivery for Morris.

I don't think we ordered anything.

It was placed by a Ben about 30 minutes ago.

Okay.

I'm sorry. I'm just going to double check.

Yeah, sure. Excuse me.

soon what's up did you order pizza what no well the guy here he said that you

ordered one like 30 minutes ago

Who are you?

You may not know me.

But you knew my brother.

Yeah, you knew him pretty well, huh?

Didn't you?

Come here.

Come on!

Dylan, run!

Come on!

No!

No! Get the door!

Here's one good thing I had, man.

He's my baby brother, you hear me?

My baby brother!

Look at me, boy! Look at me!

Stop it!

Stop it!

Nobody hurts my son!

Stop it!

They were taking him to the hospital.

He's going straight to county holding once he recovers.

I'm pretty sure it was him that smashed the picture at the restaurant earlier,

too. Whoever sent in the anonymous tip said he was making threats.

Probably heard him in some bar.

Court, what's wrong?

You just kept hitting him.

What?

You could have killed him if I didn't stop you.

Is that a question or a statement?

You tell me.

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess I would have.

I've never seen you like this before.

I protect my family, no matter what.

That's what I'm afraid of.

Ben, did... Did you do this?

Did you kill Sawyer?

I saw your computer. I saw the email. You went into the student portal and you

wrote him that message that said that he was dead.

You weren't supposed to see that.

That's not a no, Ben. Look, I looked the kid up.

I found his email. I made a dummy one. I just wanted him to feel scared.

I wanted him to feel like someone was watching him.

But I never sent it.

The last second I realized how crazy it was.

Courtney, that's our son.

Every second of every minute, I worry about him being okay.

I'm scared to do this dad thing on my own.

You are my safety net, and I know that's selfish, and I know I have to work on

it. I wanted him to feel like I was there for him no matter what.

You don't believe I pointed my own son's locks, do you?

No.

I can't lie. I don't... I don't know what to think right now.

Neither do I.

I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you.

You're, uh... You're his mom.

I was hoping... Can we talk?

You probably think I have all sorts of opinions about what happened.

Um, yeah, I guess I do.

First off, I want to apologize.

Apologize? For what happened the other night to your family.

Evan is my son, but he hasn't been my son for a long time, if that makes any

sense. Yeah, I think it does.

His father left and...

He started running with the wrong crowd.

I could see the hurt in his eyes, but he was a wall and I couldn't get through

to him.

It's like a switch flipped and he started marching to his own drum and I

Don't say that. No, it's true.

You're not supposed to give up on your own child.

My mother said it's a sin.

But we never talked about what happens when...

They give up on you.

Andrea, why are you here?

What's going on?

Sometimes you have to do what you think is best for them.

So you're... You called the police the

other night?

An anonymous tip on the threats.

Andrea, you saved my family's life. But I couldn't save my sons.

Either of them.

I lost control. What kind of mother does that make me? Don't say that.

I know Sawyer wasn't the best kid.

And I am sorry what he put your son through.

But please don't think I didn't try.

I don't think that. I promise.

I don't listen to what they say, you know, the gossip.

I learned a long time ago words only mean what you allow them to.

But if Dylan was pushed, if he felt he had no choice,

I want him to know maybe one day I can forgive him.

I appreciate that.

But Dylan has done nothing that he needs to be forgiven for.

And time will prove that.

I hope so.

I really do.

You don't have to sleep in this bedroom tonight.

Nothing's normal anymore.

Maybe we can just both sleep in the same bed and pretend that everything's okay.

You sure you'll be able to resist my charm?

I told you.

And I...

I

don't know what to do anymore.

I'm not trying to do that.

Do you think I want any of this?

I don't have a choice.

I know that.

You think I don't know that?

Don't worry about it. I just need to know that I can trust you.

No, stop. Just listen to me.

And tell them I did it.

Okay?

Hello? Are you up?

Ben, we have to talk.

I did it.

I killed Sawyer.

Police, they're right. It's only a matter of time before they have enough

evidence to prove it.

Mom, please, say something.

Do you realize what you've done to this family?

What you've done to your whole life?

I never meant for it to go this far. I just thought it would scare him, you

know?

I was defending myself, like you told me to.

I just thought it would make him sick, you know?

Puke or something.

Well, he, um...

We need to call a lawyer.

No, no, we cannot do that yet.

We can get Dylan all the help he needs when the time is right.

But right now, the only right thing that we can do is to call the police.

Please. No, no, no. Please call a lawyer. Call somebody and see if we can

out of this.

I made a mistake.

I just wasn't thinking. I promise. I never meant for him to...

Die. It is too late for that, Dylan.

Do you understand?

It is too late.

Mom.

It's our son, Courtney.

I love you, Dylan.

But what you've done is wrong.

And the only way that we can make this right is to call the police.

Detective Lambert, please.

What's going on?

Tonight I told my family the truth.

I killed Sawyer Wilkinson.

Am I to understand you're confessing to the murder of Sawyer Wilkinson?

Yes. Exactly how did you go about doing that?

I work in a lab.

I have access to mercury, boron, acetate.

I'm a supervisor there, too, so no one noticed when I took it.

I just amended the inventory.

Dylan told me how sorry it was tormenting him at lunch, and I knew a

that wouldn't stop.

So while he was in his room, I tampered with the food my wife made.

You have the right to remain silent.

I just have a moment with my son.

Just live a good life.

Okay.

That's all I have.

Do you hear me?

I promise.

I promise.

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

You have the right to an attorney.

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

Do you understand these rights as I've read them to you?

Yeah.

Good afternoon, Courtney.

I mean it.

Who were you talking to on the phone?

Dylan, who were you talking to?

Home. I asked you a question.

It's Meredith.

Can you trust her?

I can make this right. Answer me.

Can you trust her?

Good day?

Not so bad.

Um, Principal Stewart wants me to join the UFAD delegation next fall.

You know, if I can keep my grades up.

That's great.

Done.

Oh, um, by the way, this came for you tonight.

Actually, um, it's for you.

Happy birthday.

Oh.

That's so thoughtful.

If you don't like it, you can, like, return it or exchange it.

No, it's great.

Great, huh?

Why are you reading that?

None of your business, Dylan.

Where are you going?

Out.

Where?

Does it really matter?

Going to the movies with Meredith.

Mom, what is your problem?

What is my problem?

Are you seriously asking me that?

You killed someone, Dylan.

I have to live with that every single night.

Your father has to live with that every single night.

You killed someone, a human being. I know.

You don't think I know what I've done?

If I think about it for more than a minute, I lose my mind.

I hate myself. I hate myself.

None of this was supposed to be like this.

I promised him that I would live a good life. He's in there so that I can live a

good life.

So if I'm out here wallowing away in guilt, waiting for the world to swallow

up, what kind of son does that make me?

What did Tad lose everything for?

And I can't even make it better.

Every time I try to open my mouth, every time I try to say something,

I don't know if I'm making it worse for me, if I'm making it worse for Dad, or

if I'm making it worse for you.

Well, I'm sorry for that.

But a boy is dead because of you.

A wrong is wrong and a right is right. You go get into your stupid black and

white way of seeing everything.

Black and white?

Sawyer was a bad person, Mom.

His brother tried to kill us. That doesn't matter.

His mother loved him.

She needed him.

Just like I need you.

I'll be out late.

Talk to me.

What is it?

I'm falling apart.

I can't do this.

do what you said, but Dylan told me about the promise that he made

you.

And it's just, it's not enough.

It's not enough for me.

If I made a mistake, a bad one, could you forgive me?

Well, I guess that depends on the mistake.

The worst.

But say I did it in a fleeting moment of madness.

Where I lost control, I felt alone, and I wasn't myself.

And from the moment I did it, I realized how awful it was.

If all I wanted in the whole world was for you to forgive me, could you?

Yes.

Why?

Because I love you.

Exactly.

I used to love the way you saw things.

A right and a wrong answer for everything.

But sometimes there isn't.

The one thing we did right, remember?

And that one thing deserves another chance.

Yeah, but that came with a pretty heavy price.

I'd pay it again if I had to.

So would you.

Do you know what I'm doing right now?

wearing your green jacket.

The one that I bought when we were up in the mountains? I thought you hated that

thing. Oh, I still do.

But... I guess I just really... I really wanted to feel close to you right

now.

Give Dylan the life he deserves.

For me.

I want you to keep tomorrow night free.

Why?

I want to have a VIP dinner.

Just the two of us at the restaurant.

Here.

Remember?

At my last place?

Every Friday night we would go down there.

We would pick the best seat in the house and stuff our faces.

Act like we were celebrities because we had the whole place to ourselves.

I want a night like that where we forget about everything, forget about everyone

else, and we just spend time together.

I love you, Dylan.

I think I'm going to skip the science fair.

Oh. Doesn't feel right this year.

Plus, I didn't give myself enough time to even come up with a project.

So.

Oh, well, I know I'm not a science whiz like you and your dad. But if you

want some help, I'm happy to put our heads together and come up with

that would be ready for the deadline.

No.

It's okay. I'll just sit this one out.

Give another kid a chance.

Whoa. Let me help you.

Aw.

Aren't you a little gentleman?

Thanks, Dylan.

Hey, you're looking dapper.

Mom wouldn't have it any other way.

I'm really glad to see you doing so well.

Everything that they said, the stuff they accused you of, I never believed

And I hope you know that some of us always knew the truth.

We know the real you.

Thank you for believing me.

I owe you an apology.

You and your mom.

All of them.

Well, Lisa, you're like becoming the president of my fan club.

Where should I put these?

Oh, right over here.

I think they can play me down to involuntary manslaughter.

It's a shorter sentence. I wouldn't go to trial.

I'm telling Detective Lambert the truth.

I'm going to tell her what really happened.

No, you're not.

That's not what we agreed.

What you did was the bravest thing that I have ever seen.

But I can't let it happen anymore.

And maybe you're right. Maybe I am too black and white about things, Ben.

But that is who I am.

And this secret is killing me.

Please, Courtney, think about what you're saying.

I have thought about it over and over and over again.

Courtney, there are implications for both of us in this.

I don't care.

Lying to the police?

Threatening justice?

I don't.

It starts now. That is the only way out of this.

He is a good kid.

But he did a bad thing.

And we still have a chance to make this right.

There's got to be proof out there somewhere. I know it.

We can give it to the police. I can make sure they get it anonymously.

I am not going to let my husband...

brought away in prison for something that he didn't even do.

What?

You called me your husband.

Just think about what you're doing.

Think about what's at stake.

my mind is made up.

Mom? I'm so sorry, Mom.

I'm so sorry.

Happened at the end of summer. Set some party at a house by the lake.

It was a one -time thing.

When she told Sawyer that she was pregnant, he took no responsibility. He

threatened her.

He told her he'd ruin her life if she ever said anything.

Who killed Sawyer, Dylan?

The science lab was unlocked.

She went in and she got what she needed.

She knew he was going to take my lunch again.

She wouldn't have let anything happen to me.

Is that real?

This isn't real. I'm going to wake up. This isn't real. She made a mistake. She

just wanted to scare him.

Okay? And I thought I was doing the right thing that night. That night when

heard me.

Oh, my God.

So it wasn't a confession.

It was you figuring out your plan on how you were going to save her?

I never expected Dad to do what he did.

Dylan, you didn't hurt Sawyer.

You were not a killer.

I don't know why you would think this is the right thing to do. She's pregnant,

Mom. She's all by herself.

She just made a mistake.

A mistake that you are going to have to pay for.

This is not forgetting to hand in an assignment.

This is murder.

You are covering her for a murder. I love her, Mom.

And I think she loves me, too. She was going to let you take the fall for her.

She didn't have a choice. I stepped up. You have no idea what you're doing.

I can't believe that you would think that this is the right thing to do. I

it's not.

So I told her the other night that I could not let Dad take the fall for

It was eating me up inside.

Why did you take this envelope in the car? Why?

I was ready to tell the truth.

Even if she wasn't. I thought I needed some type of hard evidence so that the

police could believe me, not just think I was trying to cover for Dad.

Look at me, Dylan.

We will get through this.

Okay? Meredith is going to go to jail. I mean, there has to be something we can

do to fix this.

We will do everything that we can.

Everything, but we have to come clean.

I love my family, but I am not going to let us get torn apart by this.

Where is she?

Is somebody there?

I know, Meredith.

What are you doing here? I'm not trying to scare you.

I just... I want to talk.

You can't be here, okay?

I know you killed Sawyer.

I'm not mad, okay?

Dylan made his choice.

And now I need you to make the right one.

For your baby.

You need to get away from me, Mrs. Morris.

My son made an error in judgment because he was blinded by love.

I know how that can feel.

He didn't kill Sawyer.

But if he did, I would be telling him the exact same thing that I am telling

you.

You need to come clean.

That is the only way to fix this.

I told you he was going to ruin me.

I know.

You're scared.

I'm not going to let him do that to me or to my family.

Just let me help you, Meredith.

You can't. Okay, nobody can.

Just stay away from me.

Meredith. Meredith, stop. I want to talk.

Meredith, please, I just, I want to make this right.

I care about you. You know that.

They'll never believe me.

They'll just say that I did it on purpose.

You don't know that.

Sawyer wasn't there for you.

They'll understand.

It would never hurt Dylan. I know.

I know.

I know you didn't mean to kill anyone.

You made a mistake.

Don't come any closer.

Okay. Okay, but you can't keep running from me.

Just think about the baby.

I'm sorry. I can't do this. No, Meredith, come on.

Meredith, please.

We just need to talk.

Mrs.

Wilkinson, what are you doing here?

I heard you. I saw that she was chasing you. I

didn't mean to hurt her.

I just wanted to stop her.

Is she okay?

I think she might have a concussion.

We should get her to a hospital.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Wilkinson. I need to get home. Oh.

Oh.

No, sweetheart.

No, you're not going to go home.

You're going to come with me.

It's going to be okay.

I'm not going to hurt you. Oh, please.

Oh, no!

Andrea, what are you doing?

Sawyer told me about the pregnancy.

He didn't want to at first, but I managed to get the truth out of him

lost him.

Please, Mrs. Wilkinson, just let me go. Meredith, please call me Andrea.

I'm going to be the grandmother of your child.

I'm sorry I had to do it this way. I didn't want to hurt you, either of you.

won't.

I...

I'm

going to protect you.

You don't have to go through this on your own.

Do what?

Give birth.

to look after Meredith until the baby is born.

Andrea. This really doesn't concern you, Courtney.

You killed him.

Didn't you?

You killed my daughter.

Please, I never meant for it to get this far.

I mean, you have to. You have to believe me. I never meant for him to die.

I always had my suspicions.

You did?

Of course.

But I wouldn't let the mother of my grandchild give birth in prison.

No, no, that's far too cruel.

She is carrying my flesh and my blood, Courtney.

You know what happened? It's for the best.

It's right for everyone.

For everyone?

My husband is in prison for a crime he never committed.

My son was going to take the fall for something he never even did.

How dare you?

Your husband made his choice, and it's going to stay that way, even if he tells

the truth.

Who's going to believe him?

Dylan is the most logical suspect.

Meredith.

Come on. This is insane, Andrea. No one will ever fall for that! Shut up, shut

up, shut up, shut up.

I... I have been thinking about this for a really long time.

And I will do whatever it takes.

Maybe you find out the truth about your son.

Mm -hmm.

He doesn't want you to tell.

Maybe you fall down a flight of stairs.

Maybe he pushes you.

Killed once.

Might do it again.

No, you're not going to do that.

No, you are not listening, are you?

You're free.

I forgive you.

I don't want you to go to jail.

You, you're my second chance.

No.

Once the baby is born, I will let you go, Honor.

If I could do it any other way, I would.

But I can't.

You'll go back to your own life, and I will look after the baby.

I don't need anyone else.

It'll just be us against the world.

Stay here, okay?

Mom?

No, no, no, no, no! No, no, no, no, no! Stop!

This is my last chance to get it right.

I am a good mother.

Courtney, I really am.

I tried to save Evan, but I couldn't.

That doesn't make me a bad mother. I had so much love to give, and I knew Sawyer

could have been the person I wanted him to be, but he is gone.

And that baby is all I have left.

I want that chance again.

Meredith has to make her own decision.

You cannot force her to do this on your terms. You know that that is not right.

No, I'm not a bad person.

I know.

I wouldn't let Evan hurt your son.

I gave you a second chance.

Why can't you give me mine?

The only way to make this right is to call the police.

It's to have Meredith come clean of a pregnancy, of a Sawyer, of a butt at

You are wrong.

We have to.

We have to call the police.

No.

Get off my boat!

Dylan! Call the police.

It's time.

We really would do anything for them?

What do you mean?

The science fair is coming up.

I thought that wasn't until spring.

The school did two a year.

Oh, so that's why you picked it.

But, honey, I am...

So happy for you that you're settling in at this new school. I just think it's

going to be great.

It already is.

And how's Meredith?

Talked to her last week.

And the baby?

Doing great.

The family says Meredith can come and visit as often as she wants.

I mean, as long as everything goes okay.

We're going to go easy on her, Dawn.

Yeah, Andrea wrote a support letter, so that should go a long way.

You talked to her?

Yeah, they're moving her to a new facility uptown.

They're going to get her all the help she needs.

Are you sure you want to go to the trial, Dylan?

I mean, seeing Meredith up there every day is going to be tricky.

I mean, I have to.

I have to support her, you know?

It's the right thing to do.

Burgers are ready.

We all having?

Yeah. Yeah.

You know, honey, it's horrible that this whole thing was.

I am so grateful that it brought us back together.

Me too.

Although I'm not exactly going to write a how -to book on canceling your

divorce.

Our experience was... unique.

Yeah. It is the second best thing that I've ever done.

You know.

Thinking I did a pretty beautiful job with the presentation here.

Thinking I should take over the restaurant someday?

Well, we'll see about that.

Good luck.

Cheers.
