[dramatic music]

[water rippling]

[man] What the? Oh, my...

Help! Somebody help!

[ominous music]

[Daniel] Rachel, I love you.

And I don't know what the future holds,

but all I know is that I can't imagine one without you in it.

So...

will you marry me?

Daniel...

[sighs]

I can't.

Um, I thought you were-- I thought you were happy?

-I thought you love me? -I do, love you.

That's not the problem. It's just...like, I don't know.

I just need some time, you know?

To figure out who I am, on my own.

This is about that job in DC, isn't it?

[sighs] It's not just a job.

It's the public defender's office.

It's everything I've been working for since law school.

What about what we've been working for?

-Doesn't that count? -Yes.

Yes, of course it does.

Rachel, you are brilliant.

There are gonna be other opportunities.

And there's only one you.

Which is why it's so hard, okay?

So you're just gonna go save the world

and I have to sit here and pretend everything's fine?

Listen, if I were to say yes to you,

I'm scared that one day I might resent you.

And you don't deserve that.

Well, I guess I wanna show you how much I care.

I gotta let you go.

[dramatic music]

[jazz music]

[singer] ♪ I need one little kiss

[Emma] It's too much lace right?

-[Rachel] Not at all. -[Emma] [scoffs] Okay.

Okay. Um, I'd look like my grandmother's curtains.

It's fine.

[Emma] What's going on with you?

Nothing. Look, I don't wanna dump it on you.

You're the bride-to-be.

Look. Does it look like I'm walking

down the aisle this second? Come on, spill.

[sighs] I don't know, Em.

He just...he wasn't the one.

I just couldn't say yes. Not...

Not now, anyways.

But you guys have been together since college. [chuckles]

Yeah, but history alone

doesn't mean I should stay with someone, right?

Look, I just want you to be happy, friend.

And I need you to come to my wedding.

Come for the beach.

Trust me, Serenity Key is paradise.

You should go early.

Have, like, a little vacation before everyone gets there.

No, no, no, no, no. I couldn't do that.

You're paying for the room, so...

No, you can and you will.

Matter of fact, I'm gonna call the hotel today.

[glass clinks]

Yeah, I mean, a change of scenery

does sound pretty nice.

Uh-hmm. Look, you're starting to enjoy yourself,

whether you like it or not.

[chuckles]

-Just one thing, though. -Hmm?

Save some piña coladas for the rest of us?

[both laugh]

-Deal. -[Emma] Deal.

All right. Now about this dress.

You look beautiful.

[PA announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,

in the interest of air safety

and your own personal safety,

we ask that you keep a close watch

on your carry-on and personal items.

[indistinct] ...unattended at any time.

Excuse me. Is this seat taken?

[PA announces boarding instructions]

Billy Allen.

Rachel Bennett.

It's a pleasure, Miss Bennett.

It is "miss", right?

[chuckles] It is.

Good. I just would hate to waste all this charm

on a married woman, you know?

[chuckles]

Why are you headed to Serenity Key?

A wedding.

Oh, no way, me too.

-Not... -Emma and Chris?

-Small world. -Hey, yeah.

Whoa, I guess we'll be seeing a lot of each other.

Yeah. How do you know Em?

I don't.

Chris is an old college buddy.

-You? -Uh, Em from kindergarten.

We were best friend--

Actually, save it.

Save what?

Whatever story you're about to tell me.

Gives us an excuse to grab a drink at the hotel?

[gate agent] Now pre-boarding Celestial Air Flight

1123 to Serenity Key.

Families with children or passengers

needing assistance may approach the gate.

Well, Miss Bennett, I believe that is our cue

and I'll see you in Serenity Key.

[sighs] This trip just got a lot more interesting.

[jet whooshing]

[dramatic music]

[seagulls calling]

[whirring]

[sand rustling]

[birds chirping]

If paradise had standards, half these people would be

turned away at the docks.

[car engine turns over]

Guests wait on cocktails, not service.

Eyes up.

Smile like you mean it.

Observe.

Welcome to Serenity Key. I'm Nigel, the resort manager.

-Uh, Rachel Bennett. -Miss Bennett

-with the Parker Wedding, yes? -That's right.

Splendid. We'll get you checked in

and sipping something irresponsible

before the hour's out.

-Sounds perfect. -[laughs]

Eyes up.

This is Miss Bennett with the Parker party.

Let's upgrade her to ocean view, shall we?

Oh, no, that's not necessary.

This is your first time staying with us, yeah?

-It is. -Then it is entirely necessary.

If you need anything, anything at all,

-you come straight to me. -Thank you.

Evan, please escort Miss Bennett to her room, please.

Right this way, Miss Bennett.

Thank you.

Let's hope the rest of the wedding party behaves.

[Evan] Here we are.

Ocean view.

[door closes]

Pool's open sunrise to sundown.

Tiki Bar has two-for-one piña coladas before 3:00.

And the restaurant does a lobster special on Fridays,

but honestly, the fish tacos down the beach shack,

way better, trust me.

Welcome to Serenity Key, Miss Bennett.

[dramatic music]

[sighs]

[phone chimes]

[chuckles]

[ominous music]

[tropical music]

[indistinct chatter]

[Billy] Anyway, "William" always sounded so pretentious.

Like I should've powdered a wig

and signed the Declaration of Independence.

[Rachel] [laughs] And why not Bill?

Well, Bill was my dad.

And I spent half my life trying to not be him, so...

Mm, that almost sounded deep.

Well, you know, every now and then,

I surprise people, so...

[chuckles] Okay.

What do you do besides charming strangers at airports?

Hmm, an accountant.

Columns, spreadsheets, really living life on the edge.

Mm. Uh-hmm.

What about you?

Lawyer.

That's perfect. You know why?

Because we can bore each other to tears

with our captivating professions.

Oh, that's the last thing I wanna do

is talk about work, okay?

-Okay. -Okay.

No, let's not. We won't.

Let's make this about adventure.

We got sunset sails, hidden coves right here.

This is the best trip of beach in the entire island.

That's just day one.

Okay. Well, it sounds like I need to change

into something more appropriate.

It does.

Hey, don't start without me.

I won't.

[exhales sharply]

-[gasps] -[knocks on door]

[Rachel] Hello?

Billy?

[suspenseful music]

[sighs]

[chuckles] Nigel.

You know, if you keep this pace up,

I'm gonna think you're trying to impress me.

-And what if I am? -Uh, you know what,

I thought vacation meant lounge chairs

and people bringing us drinks, not running a marathon.

What? You were the one that want an adventure.

I mean, I can slow down if your knees need a break, you know.

Ouch.

Uh, you know what? Fine.

Actually, just, like, take a quick one,

just a quick breather right here.

Oh, okay.

Ooh.

[sighs]

This is exactly what I needed.

I'd ask you what that meant,

but last time I tried, you dodged me.

I, uh, just got out of a relationship.

-Bad breakup? -He proposed.

I said no.

Permanent felt a little too permanent?

I just wasn't ready to give up on the life I had built.

This vacation's exactly what you needed.

You know what helps?

Salt water.

[laughs] What?

[laughs]

Come on.

Billy?

Billy?

Billy?

Billy?

-Wah! [laughs] -[Rachel] [laughs] Oh, my...

[upbeat music]

-Whoo! [laughs] -Oh, my gosh.

[Billy] Oh, whoa!

Oh. [laughs]

[laughs] No.

[upbeat music]

-Oh. -Oh!

Breakfast tomorrow? Say, 8:00?

[Billy] Oh, is that an invitation?

I mean, if you prefer to eat alone.

Oh, no. That is... uh, that's great.

Just don't get in trouble without me, okay?

No promises.

[gentle music]

[seagulls calling]

[shower running]

[suspenseful music]

[shower running continues]

[shower stops]

Hello?

[suspenseful music]

Uh, yes. This is Room 125. I need to report a break-in.

[Nigel] Miss Bennett, I assure you

that the safety of our guests is our highest priority.

Well, then explain how someone got into my room.

[Wes] Is it possible that the door didn't latch?

[Rachel] It was locked. And all my things were moved.

[Billy] Okay, look. If she said that someone broke in,

someone broke in.

Unsettling, I'm sure.

But I can promise you, incidents like this

are exceedingly rare at Serenity Key.

Even TripAdvisor calls us "a sanctuary".

[laughs] Yeah, we'll have to update that review.

Look, what about the police?

We can contact them if you wish.

Now, I should warn you, you might be on US soil,

but things still move on island time around here.

Uh, I mean, there must be security footage?

There's cameras on each side of the hallway.

Maybe we'll get lucky.

Thank you, Wes. That will be all.

In the meantime, a small gesture.

From our own Serenity reserve.

Pairs beautifully with sunsets.

Thoughtful.

Really? This is your idea of help?

This is my idea of hospitality.

Thank you for your time.

Come on.

You know, I can't...and he had the audacity to smile.

It's just...you know what? Security here's been a joke.

They should have this figured out.

I'm just trying to keep my head.

Yeah. And you know what?

They gave you a bottle of Prosecco

instead of answers.

I'm so frustrated.

Do you think we should tell Emma and Chris?

No. That's the last thing that they need right now.

Besides, tonight, I wanna remember why I came here

and not why I wanna leave.

Fine. Then that's what we'll do.

Should I go change for dinner?

Yeah. See you soon.

[dramatic music]

[bird chirps]

[gentle music]

Wow.

Is that a compliment or a shock?

-Yes. -[both laugh]

You clean up nicely yourself.

-Yeah? Thank you. -Yeah.

Uh, we got Allen, party of two.

Of course, Mr. Allen. Everything's been arranged.

Thanks.

[indistinct chatter]

-Arranged? -I might have called ahead.

And here I was starting to think that you just winged everything.

Like I said, every now and then I surprise people.

[hostess] Right here.

My lady.

[clears throat] You know you're setting

high expectations, right?

Oh, no. Only when it counts, right?

All right, Mr. Allen. Your turn. Impress me.

That's a dangerous invitation, you know.

I could go on and on about accounting

and you'll be asleep before we even got dessert.

Try me.

-Okay. -[clears throat]

New England kid. Harvard finance.

Thought I'd conquer Wall Street.

And that's where you met Chris?

Who actually did conquer Wall Street.

Loves to remind everyone.

Constantly.

-Yes. -Yeah.

It turns out I wasn't built for the corporate ladder

and I always wanted to start something of my own,

so after I got my masters in accounting,

I opened my own firm

and now my clients are mostly entrepreneurs

with some older families, and the occasional celebrity.

Uh, at the end of the day, it's all just numbers

except they behave.

Do you?

Only when it's worth it.

[suspenseful music]

What is it?

Nigel at the host stand. He's just staring at us.

[scoffs]

Probably doesn't want another complaint.

Or have us asking our own questions.

Listen to me. I should start a conspiracy podcast.

Crime doesn't suit you.

Why don't we just stick to dinner?

[laughs]

[soft music]

[Rachel] What?

I just didn't think the view could get any prettier,

that's all.

You're shameless, you know that?

Well, you're not running, so that's progress.

-I'll take it. -[both laugh]

I should probably call it a night.

I mean, you could.

I just got out of a relationship.

Who said anything about a relationship?

We're just having a walk, right?

Right.

I mean...

unless we're not.

[soft music]

You okay?

I can't.

You can't?

Uh, I'm just not ready yet.

Okay. All right. Then we won't rush it.

Okay. But breakfast tomorrow?

Yeah. I'll look forward to that.

Yeah.

-Good night. -Night.

[soft dramatic music]

-[phone chimes] -[sighs]

[phone ringing]

[clears throat]

Hi.

Finally.

I was getting worried.

Sorry, I've just been exploring.

Meeting people and trying to be present.

What else?

What do you mean?

You just seem different.

Like, something's changed.

Where are you?

Um, I'm at a friend's.

What friend?

Just a guy that I work with.

-You look good. -Daniel.

What? I can't even compliment you anymore?

Come on, I told you.

[Daniel] Yeah, you need more time. I get it.

Yes. hey... we'll talk when I get back. Okay?

Why can't we talk about this now?

Because I'm hundreds of miles away

and you gotta get back to your...friend.

What are you getting in?

[sighs] I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm just tired and I shouldn't have answered.

I'm glad that you did.

Hey.

I promise we'll talk when I get back.

Sure.

Good night.

Good night.

[beeping]

[sighs]

[dramatic music]

[Wes] Sir?

What are you doing out here?

[Nigel] Making my last rounds.

Can I help you with something?

[Wes] I've been calling you.

I left my phone at my desk.

I took a look at the footage.

There was nothing unusual.

I was afraid of that.

Good night, Wes.

[dramatic music]

[birds chirping]

[groans]

[phone chimes]

[soft music]

[sighs deeply]

[Nigel] Miss Bennett.

-Is everything all right? -Quick update.

We've reviewed the security footage

and found nothing out of the ordinary.

Have there been any more disturbances?

-No. -[Nigel] Good.

I've alerted the staff discreetly.

Eyes open.

Mr. Allen. Good morning.

Morning.

Enjoy your breakfast.

Jealous already?

There's something about that guy.

Do you trust him?

It's fine.

Yeah. Did you order yet?

Nope.

You know, I was thinking, maybe I should call the police.

-Really? -Yeah.

Are you sure you wanna have a detective dragging you

and the staff and guests through a bunch of interviews?

It's gonna turn this whole thing into a circus.

Good point.

Let me pitch you a better idea.

-Uh-hmm. -You and me,

all the dinners, all the drinks, live music on the beach,

and you just forget that anyone else even exists.

You're making it hard to say no.

[laughs]

-Like this. -Okay. Go for it.

Oh!

Oh! [laughs]

-Bingo. -Ooh. Okay, okay, okay, okay.

[exhales deeply]

[gentle music]

[Rachel chuckles]

-Let's take a selfie together. -[Billy] Okay.

[Rachel] Proof that I survived the day with you.

[Billy chuckles]

[camera shutter clicks]

-[Rachel] Oh. -[Billy] Oh.

Might have to frame that one.

[laughter]

[tropical music]

That didn't happen. There's no way.

-That did not happen. -You think I made that up?

-Yes. -I'm still traumatized.

Wow. My goodness.

[laughs] Okay, fine.

Your turn. Most embarrassing professional moment.

Oh, you're relentless. Okay.

Um...okay.

I was dealing with this old-school family firm.

You know, suits, ties, no sense of humor.

I open my laptop and didn't realize

it automatically connected to the Wi-Fi.

And up pops the most recent website

that I was visiting.

-Oh, no. -Oh, yeah.

-Full volume. -No.

Yeah. Really bad. [laughs]

-Okay. You won. [laughing] -Yes. That was terrible.

-[sighs] -[Rachel] Oh.

[sighs]

All right. Let's make this interesting.

Two truths and a lie.

You're kidding.

You're not kidding?

No, I gotta know who I'm dealing with.

Okay.

Okay. Fine.

[clears throat] Uh, okay.

I once got lost in a subway for three hours.

-Uh-hmm. -I can't whistle

and I hate pineapple on pizza.

Pizza.

-You're so sure. -[Billy] Yes.

Anyone who hates pineapple on pizza is hiding something.

Way darker, for sure.

[Rachel laughs]

-[Billy laughs] -Your turn.

[sighs]

All right. Okay.

I've never sung karaoke.

I can quote everyone from the movie, Top Gun.

Okay.

And I haven't stopped thinking about you

since the moment I left the airport.

[chuckles] Well, that escalated.

I'm just playing by the rules, you know.

You've never sung karaoke?

It's really bad.

You do not wanna hear me sing karaoke at all.

[both laugh]

Oh, you're gonna get me in trouble, aren't you?

I mean, that's what makes vacation interesting, isn't it?

I should call it a night.

If you insist.

Yup.

[clears throat]

[soft music]

Do you wanna walk me to my room?

Yeah.

[door beeps]

[sighs]

Let me freshen up real quick?

Yeah.

[dramatic music]

[insects chirping]

[exhales]

Just...breathe.

Just breathe.

[sighs] Okay.

Feeling better?

[soft music]

It's been a while.

[breathes heavily]

[romantic music]

[waves splashing]

[insects chirping]

-[slow rummaging] -[gasps]

Billy?

Oh, you scared me.

What are you doing?

I have a headache.

I just wanna see if you had any aspirin.

So, you just go through my purse?

I just didn't wanna wake you up, you know.

Well, here, give it to me.

Thanks.

[tense music]

[suspenseful music]

[Billy sighs]

[birds chirping]

[groans]

Hey, good morning.

Morning.

Something wrong? Did you have a bad dream?

No.

Are you still mad about last night?

I have to be honest, it felt...

strange.

Strange?

Yeah.

Look, we just met. I don't think I'm comfortable

with you just going through my things.

I wasn't going through your things.

I just was looking for an aspirin,

like I said.

I never would've done it if I knew

it'd bother you that much.

Hey,

can we just forget about this, please,

and just enjoy the rest of our morning together?

Well, I can't. Okay?

Emma's flying in today, and I need to see her.

Yeah, well, you'll see her tonight at the welcome dinner.

Come on.

She's the only reason I'm here.

After last night?

What does last night have to do with anything?

Well, I mean,

I figured in the least you may have liked me.

I do like you.

Let me call Em and check in, okay?

-Okay. -Okay.

[clears throat]

[birds chirping]

[dramatic music]

My passport.

What about it?

It's gone.

Rachel, really?

No, I--I'm serious.

It's not here, and my credit cards.

Well, when was the last time you saw 'em?

Um, I don't know.

What difference does that make?

Cause there was a break-in.

I would've noticed if they were missing.

Well, I paid for dinner and drinks at the pool,

so maybe they were gone before then?

No, they weren't.

Did you take them?

-Did I take them? -Yeah.

No. What? Of course not.

Right.

Right. Sorry.

Look, it's just...ugh,

I can't check in to my flight without a passport,

like I need an ID to fly.

Just use your license.

I don't have my license.

I used my passport.

[Billy] Hey, take a deep breath. Look at me.

-[exhales] -[Billy] Just think,

when was the last time you saw it?

Was it at check-in?

I don't know. I don't know.

I'm just gonna ask you one more time.

Did you take them?

[scoffs]

I don't need this.

Good luck. Hope you find 'em.

Come on, Billy.

[door opens]

[sighs]

-[door closes] -Ugh!

[birds chirping]

[phone ringing]

Rachel? Are you okay?

Not exactly.

Someone broke into my room.

Are you serious?

Yeah, they took my credit cards,

passport, everything.

Hey, my license is in the safe.

Can you just overnight it to me, please?

Uh, yeah, I can get that to you today.

Thank you.

[Daniel] You want me to call the hotel,

-sort something out? -Oh, no, no, no,

Em's got it all covered.

I just need an ID to get home.

Yeah, still, I...

hate that you have to go through all this alone.

Look, Daniel, I'm not helpless, I'm just inconvenienced.

Well, you be careful, okay?

-Thank you. -[Daniel] Anytime.

[dramatic music]

[birds squawking]

[soft music]

[tense music]

-[shrieks] Oh, my God. -Not too shabby.

-How'd it go? -Here.

-Oh, my God. -[Rachel] You made it. Hi.

[Emma] Yes, three flight delays

and a missing bridesmaid's dress later.

There's our happy couple.

Ms. Morgan, Mr. Parker, welcome to Serenity Key.

Evan, get these two straight to their suite

-and do take care. -[Evan] Yes, sir.

-Take this. -Thank you.

So, how's Serenity Key treating you?

-Mostly fine. -Mostly?

[Rachel] This trip is not about me.

It is about you.

How are you feeling?

Uh, exhausted, excited,

might feel a little terrified.

But the scenery looks good.

Please tell me you've sampled the local wildlife.

Funny you should mention that--

-[Chris] There she is. -[Emma] Oh, hey.

Hi, Rachel was just telling me about--

I was telling Em how thankful I am

for you guys letting me come early.

Oh, yeah, of course. You're basically family.

It's good to have everyone here.

-It feels real now, you know. -Yeah.

And I feel more real when I'm poolside

-with a piña colada in my hand. -Ooh, yes,

-that sounds like a plan. -Uh-hmm.

[Chris] Let's go get changed.

-Hey, man, this is nuts. -[Evan] Yeah.

I might be biased, he really is the perfect man.

Just listen to me, I'm probably making you gag.

[laughs] No, it's nice.

Besides, you have some explaining to do, missy.

Explain about what?

Billy.

Who's Billy?

-Billy? -[chuckles]

Chris's hunky single friend

who just happened to arrive early?

Rachel, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Billy, Chris's friend from college?

Rachel, there is no Billy on the guest list.

Maybe you just forgot?

Okay. Chris, honey?

-Hey, what's up? -[Emma] Come here.

Uh, did you invite anyone named Billy?

-[Rachel] From college? -Uh, no.

Why?

I mean, you...

you know this guy?

[Chris] Nah.

Nah, I never seen him before in my life.

That's weird. He knew you and he's here for the wedding.

Rachel, I promise you,

there is no Billy, no Bill,

no William on the list.

Yeah. Look, Rach, it's probably just some guy

that's, uh, crashing for the free drinks.

Happens at places like this all the time.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know what?

-You're probably right. -[Emma] Yeah.

Don't you two have a lot of things

-you should be doing right now? -You sure?

[clears throat] Yes, yes, go.

-Go, go, go, go. -[Emma] Okay.

Come on, baby, let's go hit that pool.

[chuckles]

Oh, don't forget about dinner tonight.

[sighs]

[dial tone]

[operator] The number you have dialed

has been disconnected. Please--

[dial tone]

[operator] The number you have dialed

has been disconnected.

Please check the number and try again.

[telephone ringing]

-[Nigel] Miss Bennett... -Hey.

...bride and groom settling in nicely?

-They are. -[Nigel] Splendid.

And no update for you just yet before you ask.

Well, that's not why I'm here.

Oh.

Then how may I be of service?

This may be weird thing to explain,

but do you remember the guy I was with?

-Mister... -Allen.

-Yes, Mr. Allen. -Yeah.

Well, he's not who he says he is.

I'm afraid you've lost me.

Well, he said he was here for the wedding.

-[Nigel] And he's not? -No.

They don't even know who he is.

And I think he stole my credit card and passport.

-Do you have any proof? -[Rachel] Yeah,

I caught him going through my purse.

Well, did you ask him?

He said he was looking for aspirin.

And the missing items?

He claimed that they were taken during the break-in.

[Nigel] When did you notice they were gone?

This morning.

Look, could you just question him?

Miss Bennett,

people on holiday often embellish.

It's not a crime to burnish one's image.

Wrong, perhaps,

-but not illegal. -Okay. Well, can you give me

his room number so then I can talk to him?

I'm afraid I'm not at liberty to share that information,

but I'd be happy to pass along a message.

A message? [chuckles]

If he harasses you and makes you feel...

unsafe in any way, you come straight to me.

So, you won't do anything until it's too late?

Unbelievable.

-[Nigel] Miss Bennett? -[exhales]

Room 137 has a particularly

stunning view of the ocean this time of day.

Billy, it's me.

Billy?

Open up.

Uh, excuse me?

Have you seen anyone

go in and out of this room?

-Uh-uh. -No?

Okay.

[tense music]

[suspenseful music]

Focus. Just focus.

[breathes heavily]

Focus.

[exhales] Focus.

[birds squawking]

Those two are mine right over there.

-You know what table we're at? -[man] Um, it's cute.

-[woman] Oh, my gosh. Marissa? -[Chris] Oh.

[woman] Oh, hi.

[waitress 1] What can I get you ladies, today?

[waitress 2] That's the lobster.

[waitress 1] Drinks? Wine?

[Rachel] Hi, I'm here for the welcome dinner.

On the patio.

Thanks.

-Nigel. -Miss Bennett.

Excuse me.

Uh, have you been able to reach him?

Yeah. We left a message, but he has yet to reply.

I take it he was not in the room?

No. And he hasn't checked out, right?

He has not.

Great.

You've done all you can.

Try to enjoy the party.

I'll let you know the moment we have something.

Thank you.

-[waitress] I'll take those. -[man] Here you go. Thanks.

[waitress] Thank you.

[man] Nice.

[woman] I'm surprised you guys made it.

[man] Yeah, it's beautiful. It's nice.

[indistinct chatter]

[sighs]

I'm so sorry, excuse us.

Excuse me, guys.

[Emma] You made it. Hi.

Oh, my gosh. I thought you were gonna ditch us for room service.

Tempting, but I wouldn't miss this.

-Uh-hmm. -[chuckles]

Oh, excuse me for a second.

-She's always running off. -[Rachel chuckles]

Everything all right? You kinda disappeared earlier.

Yeah, just needed to handle something.

Here I thought you came here to relax, not make waves.

[scoffs] Well, I've never been good

at looking the other way.

[eerie music]

[Chris] Rachel?

Sorry.

You know, you could chill.

This place is perfectly safe.

Ugh, well, that hasn't been my experience.

Well, you're amongst friends now.

[Emma] Excuse me. Can I have everyone's attention, please?

Hmm? Excuse me. Duty calls.

-First-- -[Chris] Sorry about that.

Thank you. I'm okay.

-Thank you. -[Chris clears throat]

[Emma] Thank you all for coming all of this way

from every corner of our lives to be here with us.

It really means everything to see so many faces

that we love.

The day after tomorrow, I will look this man in his eyes

and tell him, "I can't wait

to spend the rest of my life with you."

But it's not the cake or the flowers

that make this special,

it's you, all of you.

So, tonight, eat,

laugh way too loud, try not to put the bar out of business,

-okay, Jeff? -Enough.

And tomorrow, we wake up and we get to enjoy everything

this lovely resort has to offer.

So, from the bottom of my heart,

thank you all.

To new friends, to new family,

and the one that always keeps me honest, Emma.

-[man] Cheers. -[woman] Cheers.

-[man] Go Chris. -[woman] Yeah.

[Sam] Whoo!

-Solo? -Excuse me?

I said, are you here solo?

Uh-huh. Yeah, I am.

Uh, me too. Sam.

-Rachel. -Hey.

Bride or groom?

Uh, bride.

Em's an old kindergarten friend.

Yeah, Chris is mine.

What a coincidence.

Would you care for another drink?

No, I shouldn't.

It's been a long day.

[Sam] It's okay, I can take a hint.

[suspenseful music]

You know what? I see someone I need to talk to.

Billy!

Billy, wait!

-[woman] Yeah, of course. -Billy!

-Billy! -Oh!

-Oh, my gosh! -[utensils clanking]

-[man] It's okay. -Billy!

Billy!

I'm so sorry.

I thought you were somebody else.

[sighs]

Rach,

what was that?

Uh, it was just a mistake.

It was a mistake, okay?

-Uh, sorry about that, guys. -I'm sorry.

Everyone thinks real estate is about property.

It's about people, psychology,

-strategy, timing. -Uh-hmm.

[Sam] You know the secret to closing a deal?

Hmm.

[Sam] Silence.

-First one who speaks, loses. -Great.

It's true. Ask anyone.

I'm a real killer. Ka-Pow!

I'm sure, you are.

Rachel.

I see you two have met. I was gonna introduce you.

Oh. We're old friends already, right, Rachel?

Uh-hmm.

Something like that.

Sam, I'm gonna have to steal her for a second.

Wedding emergency.

Emergency. Gotta go.

I am so sorry.

I thought maybe you'd actually like him.

He's a bit much. Don't you think?

But he's the most successful real estate broker in Manhattan.

Didn't he tell you that?

Only three or four times.

[chuckling]

Rachel, are you sure you're okay?

-What do you mean? -You scared me earlier

when you ran after that man.

Everyone thought that maybe--

Look, it was just a mistake, okay?

It was someone I thought I knew.

-Okay. -Ah, you mean like the guy

-you mentioned before? -Yeah.

Look, the weird thing is, is that he knew

both of your names and about the wedding.

Look, and he's staying here at the resort

and then now he's just...gone,

along with my credit cards and passport.

-Wait, what? -Wait, what?

-Are you--are you serious? -Hey, it's okay.

-It's fine. It's fine. -[Emma] No.

-I have it covered. -No, that is not fine.

That's theft. You should've said something.

I didn't wanna worry you.

[Emma] If I had only known.

-Hey. -Are you sure you're okay?

I'm fine. I'm just a little embarrassed

and tired of feeling like I'm crazy.

Well, you're not crazy. It's just...

um, you just need a little sleep.

[Chris] Yeah. Look, tomorrow is a new day.

-Just let it reset, right? -Uh-hmm.

-Promise? -Promise.

Just get some rest, okay, Rachel?

We've all got a big couple of days ahead of us.

Uh-hmm.

All right. Good night, you two.

Good night, bride-to-be.

Good night, drama magnet.

[indistinct chatter]

[eerie music]

[man] The way she ran to him in the restaurant like that,

that type of embarrassment. [chuckles]

[woman] I know, right? [chuckles]

[suspenseful music]

[sighs]

[breathes heavily]

[soft music]

[sighs]

[clock ticking]

[exhales]

[tense music]

[Rachel] Billy?

Billy.

Where were you going?

Let's see what you got of mine in here.

[sighs]

[gasps] You've gotta be kidding me.

[tense music]

Billy?

[suspenseful music]

[screams]

-[suspenseful music] -[panting] Hello?

Hello? Nigel! Nigel! Anybody!

Security!

Security! Security! Security!

How can I help you, Miss Bennett?

-There's a dead body. -Where?

-In his room. -Whose room?

Billy. Billy Allen. Room 137.

How exactly do you know this?

Look, because I was in there, okay?

-He's in the bathtub. -All right.

-Let's go take a look. -No.

-Shouldn't you call the police? -I will.

After I go see for myself.

[door lock beeps]

Hello?

It's security.

Is anybody in here?

Hello?

-I told you. -[Wes] I heard you.

No, he's in the bathroom, in the bathtub.

[Wes sighs]

Just stay back, ma'am.

Hello?

Security.

-Do you see it? -See what?

-The body. -What body?

What?

No. That's impossible.

Are you sure you saw a dead body?

Yes. Billy was in this tub!

And you're sure you weren't dreaming?

No, I was not dreaming!

Well, I don't know what to tell you

'cause there's nobody here.

-[sighs] -What?

Wait. No.

-Wait. -I'm curious, Miss Bennett.

-How did you get in? -No. What?

As far as I can tell you're the only one trespassing.

Me?

No body, no break-in, just you.

-You touch anything? -No.

-You take anything? -Of course not.

-Maybe you should get some rest. -You know what?

If you're not gonna get to the bottom of this,

then I will.

[tense music]

All right, Billy.

Let's see what you're up to.

[laptop chimes]

[keyboard clicking]

[tense music]

[sighs]

Yes. I need to report a murder.

[birds chirping]

Well, clearly this man had some kind of fixation on you.

Yeah, and now his dead.

So you say.

I saw a dead body in the bathtub.

And how long would you say it was

between the time you saw the body

and the time you returned back to the room

with security?

I don't know, 10 minutes.

During which time the body disappeared?

-Yes. -Okay.

Miss Bennett, were you drinking during the welcome dinner?

[scoffs] Okay. Look, what does that have to do with anything?

Well, you said you were having trouble sleeping.

Maybe you drifted off.

-Dreamt it. -No, I didn't.

Okay. Let's go back to the earlier incident,

uh, the alleged break-in.

Three days ago.

You're head of security.

You didn't think to call the police?

We checked the cameras.

-That's it? -I was so--

Detective McCarthy, I looked myself.

No signs of forced entry.

Nothing on the campus.

I saw no reason to alert the guest.

Okay. So, in other words, you wanted to protect

your wealthy guests from being inconvenienced

during their overpriced stay.

-Well, that's not at all. -That was a rhetorical question.

Miss Bennett,

you were present during the break-in?

Well, I was in the shower, and I came out,

and saw my purse on the ground.

Anything taken?

At first I didn't think so,

but then I realized my passport

and credit cards were missing.

I need security footage from that hallway last 72 hours.

Of course.

When is Mr. Allen due for checkout?

Two days after the wedding.

And I'm assuming there was no emergency contact provided.

Correct.

Miss Bennett, this is what I can tell you, all right?

There has been no EMT or police calls on this island

for the past 12 hours.

No deceased males, no ambulance runs,

nothing matching the photo that you showed me.

So let me be clear.

This does not mean that you're mistaken.

It simply means that we have no corroboration yet.

What? So that's it?

Well, until we review that footage

where Mr. Allen fails to check out,

there's just no evidence of a crime.

[scoffs]

[Det. McCarthy] Look, stress does strange things,

especially to people far from home.

Once we review that footage, we'll be in touch.

Just, in the meantime, try and rest.

[dramatic music]

[exhales]

[birds chirping]

You know, could have helped me back there.

-I tried. -Yeah, but not hard enough.

Look, Miss Bennett, would you slow down?

[sighs]

Serenity Key receives 55,000 guests a year.

They drink.

They get reckless.

You learn not to take every story at face value.

You said you believed me.

Well, yes, you struck me as particularly dress-worthy woman,

though I could be wrong.

Can I make a suggestion?

-The wedding is tomorrow, right? -Yes.

[Nigel] And if I were you, I'd try to relax.

Enjoy the time you have left.

Attend the wedding.

And then go home.

You know, if you won't help me,

I'll handle it myself.

I'm not leaving here

until I find out what happened.

Just be careful.

[dramatic music]

Miss Bennett, what are you doing in here?

Look, I just need to see the cameras.

-Five minutes, please. -That's not how this works.

Guests are not allowed in here.

Well, then call Nigel and the police,

but someone is lying to me and I need to prove it.

-[sighs] -[Rachel] Please.

Five minutes, that's it.

Move.

[sighs]

Okay. Uh, Billy's room 137 last night.

[Wes] Here, let me speed it up.

[whirring]

[dramatic music]

[Wes] See? Nobody went in or out but you.

That's impossible.

I saw him dead.

[Wes] Then how'd the killer get in?

How'd they move his body?

Uh, the balcony.

The balcony. Do you have cameras outside?

[Wes sighs]

[Rachel] That's it.

You can't see Billy's balcony.

That's how they got in.

That proves it.

This doesn't prove anything.

I'm sorry, Miss Bennett. There just isn't anything here.

[sighs]

[Nigel] I need you to make sure

that they're tidy and neat.

These are VIP guests.

They're coming.

[Evan] Good afternoon, Miss Bennett.

Hey, Evan.

-Evan? -Ma'am.

I...could I ask you something?

Sure. As long as you don't mind following me as I work.

Not at all.

[Evan] Oh. So what's up?

Well, there was

or is a man staying at the resort in room 137.

Mr. Allen, yeah.

Yeah. Exactly.

-Did you know him? -Sure.

He gave me a nice tip.

Well, had you seen him recently?

Oh, uh, yeah.

I'm actually not supposed to talk about the guests.

No, Evan. Please, you're the only person

who hasn't made me feel like I'm crazy.

Just tell me. Have you seen him, say, last night?

No. Sorry.

Okay. Worth the shot, I guess.

I haven't seen him since the fight yesterday afternoon.

The fight?

It was more of an argument, really.

It was over by the pool bar.

He, uh, looked kind of angry,

which I thought was strange,

since he was always really nice to me.

Did you see who he was with?

I didn't have a chance to get a good look.

I had a guest who was late for the airport.

Oh, there must be something you remember.

No, not really.

Man, a woman, young, old?

That will be quite enough, Evan.

Please, it's important you tell me everything.

-I did. -[Nigel] I said that's enough.

Get back to work.

Sorry. Wish I could be more help.

I heard you paid our security officer a visit.

I wanted to see what happened last night

if there was anything unusual.

As far as I can tell,

the only unusual thing is you.

Did you not hear what he said?

Billy was fighting with someone.

That's motive.

If you continue to harass my staff,

I shall see to it that you attend

your friend's wedding over Zoom.

Am I clear?

[dramatic music]

[sighs]

[woman] Stop.

-Hey! -[laughter]

[man] Okay. Splash me.

[indistinct chatter]

[woman] It was great.

What about you?

[indistinct chatter]

[laughter]

That was awesome.

So you're just gonna, like, stare all day

or are you gonna talk to me?

Don't you have some wedding things to do?

I mean, I do, but what's the point

of having a destination wedding

if you can't enjoy the destination?

Fair point.

Plus Chris is out with his friends,

so what else do I have to do?

Any update on the guy?

Probably what you said, some player who moved on.

[indistinct chatter]

I'm sorry, Rachel.

I kinda feel like it's my fault.

It isn't.

Coming here early was my idea.

Hey, I could have said no.

But still.

Hey. I'm an adult.

I can handle my own problems.

You've got a wedding to worry about.

Yeah. I probably should go back and take a shower.

[indistinct chatter]

-[dramatic music] -[birds chirping]

[breathes heavily]

[indistinct chatter]

[tense music]

[panting]

[dramatic music]

[suspenseful music]

[beeps]

[water splattering]

-[object rattles] -[gasps]

Hello?

-[tense music] -[gasps]

-[gasps] -[Rachel] Daniel!

It's just me. It's just me, Rachel.

What are you doing here?

You called me, remember?

I asked you to mail it.

Well, I wanted to make sure you got it.

[sighs]

Come on. How long have you been here?

What's with the 20 questions?

How long, Daniel?

I think the plane landed at 5:00. Why?

How long do you think I've been here?

I don't know. With...

your phone call the other night to me was...

I told you that I was with a friend.

What's going on?

Look.

I met someone, okay, on the plane,

and he said he was coming here for the wedding.

You met someone?

It wasn't anything serious.

You know, it was just fun

and easy, and...

Right.

Daniel.

Well, was he the one that took your passport?

No.

He's dead.

Yeah.

I found him in his room and...

Well, did you call the police?

Of course I called the police.

And then when I got there, the body was gone.

And then all of a sudden, you just show up

out of the blue?

Wait.

But you don't actually think...

Rachel, I could never do that.

I don't care what he might've done here.

If you don't believe me, here's my boarding pass.

And I even got coffee at the airport too.

So, you look at that.

[laughs]

So you're telling me you flew all this way

just to give me my license back?

Well, I was trying to hopefully convince you not to leave me.

Daniel, I need some air.

[breathing heavily]

-Come home with me. -Daniel.

Rachel, haven't you been through enough?

I can be there for you.

I can make all these things better.

Daniel, look.

I appreciate you bringing me my ID.

I really do,

but you need to know

nothing has changed between us.

Right.

Hey.

The wedding's tomorrow,

why don't you just go enjoy yourself

and pretend it's a vacation?

Because I didn't come here for a vacation.

I came here because you need somebody that you can count on.

Uh, I'll get my own room.

Thank you.

I missed you.

[dramatic music]

[whirring]

[birds chirping]

[surfer] What the...oh, my...

[tense music]

-[birds chirping] -[waves lapping]

Hey!

So, I hear Daniel's back.

He is.

It's kinda weird, though, don't you think?

[man] What's going on up there? Come on. Let's go.

I mean, just showing up like that.

-[woman] Oh, my God. -Yeah, it is actually.

[woman 1] Did you see?

-[woman 2] Oh, my God. -What's going on?

Looks like they found something on the beach.

[woman] What do you think it is?

[surfer] And I was just, like, start to paddling out

and that's when I see way out there, way out.

-Yeah. -I don't know.

I didn't know it was a body at first.

Probably just some seaweed.

Then I got closer.

I saw an eye...

Nigel, what's going on?

They pulled a body from the water.

No.

Miss Bennett, you don't wanna see this.

Yes, I do.

Rachel, you need to be...don't.

-Let them. -I need to.

-[indistinct chatter] -[tense music]

[gasps]

[dramatic music]

-I knew it. -[man] Ma'am.

Ma'am, please step away.

He's real.

He was real, Chris. I knew it.

Don't worry, okay? We're gonna figure this out.

No.

[tropical music]

-Thank you. -No problem. Enjoy.

I heard his body washed right up onto the sand,

practically near the umbrellas, and I'm supposed to get married

at that beach this afternoon.

[exhales heavily]

Rachel, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean...

It's fine.

Is that him?

[sighs] Chris swore he had never seen him, but yeah.

[indistinct chatter]

[Emma] My God.

[suspenseful music]

Em, do you-- do you know this man?

This is Liam.

Who's Liam?

It's the man I had an affair with about a year ago.

What?

You cheated on Chris?

No. We were falling apart and he had moved out,

and I thought we were done.

Okay. Don't look at me like that.

I ended things. I thought he was gone.

I didn't expect for him to show up here.

[scoffs] So you're telling me

that the man who washed up on the beach dead

on your wedding day was your ex?

I did not invite him.

[scoffs]

And if Chris ever found out...

Oh, my God, it's starting to make sense.

What is?

Look, I found photos.

He had been watching us.

He knew exactly what flight I was gonna be on.

[PA announcer] Ladies and gentlemen...

Oh, God. Everything he did,

befriending me, seducing me.

It was his way into your wedding.

And he was trying to humiliate you

in front of everyone.

[scoffs]

Rachel, I'm so sorry.

This was all my fault.

But that doesn't explain who killed him.

No. Rachel, I had no idea he was on this island.

You have to believe me.

Okay.

-Okay. -Okay.

Okay.

[Emma] Wait. Where are you going?

I need to check his room one last time.

[dramatic music]

-[camera shutter clicking] -[indistinct radio chatter]

If you need anything else, I can be in the office.

[Det. McCarthy] Okay.

I'm so sorry.

-It's, uh-- -Hold on.

Rachel.

Uh, I believe these belong to you.

We found them under his mattress.

[laughs]

So he did take them.

He was a grifter and a con man.

I'm sorry, Rachel.

-Um, that's it. -Excuse me.

[birds chirping]

Sorry.

[dramatic music]

-[sighs] -[indistinct radio chatter]

Okay. The killer, if he went through the balcony,

then he must have left something behind.

[pensive music]

[dramatic music]

[photographer] Okay, guys. Smile.

-Cheese. -[photographer] Thank you.

[groomsman] Thanks.

Jeez, man.

I feel like movie stars now. I think, yeah.

That's really, um...

[indistinct chatter]

[groomsman] We're so excited.

Rachel.

I hope you didn't bring Emma,

you know, superstition and all.

Is everything okay?

[groomsman 1] After my speech, of course.

[groomsman 2] Yeah. Uh-huh.

[suspenseful music]

[indistinct chatter]

-Hey, guys? -[groomsman] Yeah?

You wanna give us a minute?

-[groomsman] Sure. All right. -[Chris] Thanks, guys.

See you, man.

Where'd you find that?

Did you kill him?

[laughs]

Really?

We're gonna do this today?

Did you kill him?

[sighs]

You know,

a lot of guys if they found out that their fiancée

had slept with another man,

they'd walk right then and there.

Not me, though.

No, I told myself that it was just a huge mistake

and I was gonna be the bigger man about things.

[scoffs]

And then you told me that he was here.

Billy, Liam,

didn't really matter what his name was.

It was obvious what he was up to.

What was I supposed to do, huh?

Was I supposed to just sit there

and watch him destroy one of the most important events

-of our lives? -Well, did it ever occur to you

to just talk to him?

I tried to, right before the dinner.

We had a conversation.

I went up to his room.

I asked him very politely to leave,

to leave you, Emma, the wedding, everything alone.

And do you know what he said to me?

He said,

"One day, she'd wake up and remember

what it felt like to be alive."

[grunting]

-[choking] -[panting]

[Chris] Look, I know that I should've told the police

right when it happened,

but I saw what it looked like

to try to make it seem natural.

And then you found him and I lost my head

all over again.

Yeah. Well, I'm calling the detective.

[Chris] No, you're not.

You're gonna keep quiet, okay?

You're gonna let your best friend have her day.

You know what? You're right. She did make a mistake,

and I'm not letting her make another one.

[gasps]

Why are you trying to destroy everything, huh?

Get off of me!

[grunts]

Rachel!

[suspenseful music]

Rachel!

[Rachel panting]

[suspenseful music]

[Chris] Rachel!

Come on!

Just listen to me for a second!

[panting]

Come on, Rachel.

Let's not do this.

Why don't you just walk away from this?

You know, that guy was a scumbag anyways.

I had no choice, Rachel.

[Rachel panting]

[screams]

I just wanna talk.

-Stop. -[grunts]

[grunts]

What are you doing? [grunts]

All right. Give it up, Rachel.

Just don't know when to quit, huh?

[grunting]

[Chris] You're making this harder

than it needs to be, Rachel.

Just stop.

[grunting]

This is all your fault.

You made me do this.

[grunting]

Security! I need backup in the banquet hall.

[groans]

What do you think you're doing?

[grunting]

This is my wedding.

[suspenseful music]

[bottle shatters]

[Rachel panting]

[indistinct chatter]

Oh, my God.

Hmm, that's him.

-[chuckles] Filthy. -[indistinct chatter]

[woman 1] Do you think that he's the one...

[woman 2] Yeah, it's him.

He's the one that tried to kill Rachel.

How are you holding up?

Better now.

-He admitted to everything? -Yes.

And the ME recovered enough DNA from that crime scene

to ensure a long prison sentence.

-Good. -Yeah.

Miss Bennett,

I'm glad to see you're all right.

Thank you, Nigel.

Both of you.

We'll all sleep a little easier

with this behind us.

Yeah.

Am I free to go?

Yes. Yeah.

-I'll be in touch. -Okay.

-Excuse me. -Uh-hmm.

[sobbing]

My heart aches for that poor girl.

Horrible thing. Hmm.

[dramatic music]

[birds chirping]

[Emma] I keep thinking about

how differently everything looked a couple days ago.

The flowers, the music, the dress,

everything I thought that mattered.

Yeah, they do.

Just not for the reasons you thought they did.

You're getting really good at this wise best friend thing.

[laughs] Don't get used to it.

I'm retiring after this.

Well, you two sure know how to make an entrance.

[Rachel] I could never get tired of this view.

So what do we do now?

Now, we go home and we figure it out.

Together.

You promise you won't leave without me?

[Rachel] Hey, not a chance.

-[Emma laughs] -[waves lapping]

[dramatic music]

[soft music]
