Original subtitles

So then Joe says he needs to speak with me

in his office.

And when I go in there, he tells me

that if I put coffee

in front of the wrong customer,

I need to pour a whole new cup of coffee for that customer.

Right?

Just because the bottom of the mug

hits the wrong part of the Formica

does not make it contaminated.

I know.

So then I was like,

Joe, even if that is our policy,

they were both sitting at the counter

and so it was the exact sa...

oh my god!

My god.

Oh my god, Janet, I'm so sorry.

Are you still there?

My lights went out.

Do you still have power?

Okay, well

some tramps have all the luck, I guess.

Geez, well...

Okay, enjoy not being wet or blind now.

I've got to get out of...

Oh, can you stay on just a second longer?

Yeah, uh, sorry Janet,

I just like, totally spooked myself.

Yeah, no.

Um. Okay, yeah.

Okay, good night.

Please! Let me out!

Let me out!

Not now.

Let me out!

OK, it's just a sketch of a car Meredith, that's it.

"Don't worry about a signal," he says.

"No landline, no problem, we got Wi-Fi for that."

You know they're calling me the world's smartest husband?

Oh!

Do you have a signal?

Nope.

Damn.

Can't even call to find out

when the power's gonna be back on.

Hm.

How's work going?

Bad.

Did your computer finally die?

No.

Meredith

what's up?

Lawrence had a new idea

for a picture puzzle in the next book,

even sent a sketch...

It's a locked room murder puzzle.

And?

And the locked room is a car trunk.

I see.

Yeah.

I just hate being fragile.

You are not fragile.

Of course I am.

I just wish I could be an ordinary person.

You are an extraordinary person.

You need a bath.

I need a new brain.

You need a bath.

Well the pump's out.

I can pump it by hand.

You don't have to do that.

Don't you tell me how to take care of my wife.

Now go get in that tub.

Mm.

Do as I say, please.

I am the world's smartest husband.

K.

You gonna behave?

Good.

Just... remember what we talked about.

Right?

People gotta die.

I'd just hate for it to be your parents.

I remember.

Good.

Great.

Good.

Now get out. We got work to do.

Hey, relaxing bath?

Not really.

Does the anxiety have a particular toehold today?

I'm in the trunk a lot today.

Sorry.

It's fine.

You know what?

I think I'm actually feeling a little bit better.

Good.

'Cause it's almost time to go.

Where?

Arne's.

That can't still be happening.

We haven't heard from him.

We currently can't hear from him.

Oh, we'll just stop by.

No one just stops by anymore, Duke.

Honey, you know how much our little game nights mean to him.

Yeah, he does go all out.

I think he's lonely and bored out there by himself.

He's a single man who sends out Christmas cards.

Speaking of which...

I know, it's March.

I'll take them down.

- I can take those down, to... - I said I would do it!

Okay.

So! Which game should we bring?

Duke.

I hear you.

But I still think we should go.

Worst case scenario, we go for a drive, we say hi,

we come back home.

Best case scenario,

he's got power.

We get a game night out of it.

And we get a meal more complex than peanut butter and jelly.

Mm.

Letter puzzle.

That's my girl.

- Duke? - Hey, babe.

Hey! I said I would do that.

"Pardon me, ma'am. I'm going to need to see some identification."

My god.

- Put it away. Let's go. - All right.

You call me ma'am again, you're gonna be in trouble.

You talked me into this.

What's that?

I can't believe you talked me into this.

Well,

to tell you the truth, it wasn't that hard.

True.

Yeah, I can't tell.

- Looks like... - I can't tell.

Oh, there's a light, I see a light on.

- You do? - Yeah. - Oh, good.

I just hope this is a good idea.

What is that?

I don't know.

Hey Arne! You okay?

Should I knock again?

Yeah, maybe.

The hell are you doing here?

Gotcha!

Sheesh!

Arne! Come on!

Come on in.

I'll get dinner going.

Ah?

You're gonna pay for that, sir.

I was beginning to think you guys weren't coming.

Almost didn't.

We would've called, but, uh... No power.

You ever shot a gun before?

Same here.

The DSL and power lines are down all over.

But! The generator is running.

Er, you can't check your email, but, you're more than welcome

to spend as much time as you want with us.

Us?

Yeah. Oh, apologies.

This is Sadie, my niece.

Say "Hi Sadie".

Hi.

We talked about this, Say "hi, Sadie!"

Hi... uh, Sadie.

We've got an open door policy here at Casa de Uncle Arne.

She stopped by for a surprise visit.

I'm sorry for interrupting.

Nonsense! The more the merrier.

Here here!

How did you get here?

Sorry?

I was asking Sadie.

I didn't see a car outside, so...

How did you get all the way out here to surprise your uncle

without a car?

Can't get anything past you, huh Mer?

Her car is in the barn.

I was worried about the storm turning into hail.

She's got one of those little hybrids. It's 90% crumple zone.

I told you about game night, but what I didn't tell you

was that I invited a ringer.

Meredith writes puzzle books for a living.

You are swimming with a shark.

But what does that make me? Chopped liver?

Actually, it sounds about right.

A little less like chopped liver and more like chum.

And what does that make you then, pal?

Me? I'm Quint.

Didn't Jaws eat Quint?

What did I say, kid?

Alright, enough preliminary trash talk.

Let's get dinner on the road so game night can truly begin.

Love it.

Mhm? Alright, c'mon!

I'm just going to throw this down.

Assignments!

Duke.

Yes, sir.

Out back and fire up that grill.

I live to serve.

Ladies, you're gonna help me set the table. Sadie,

grab the plates. Meredith, the silverware is in that drawer

by the stove.

Wrong one.

What's this for?

Knife drawer.

This is new.

You can never be too careful.

I'm gonna run this out to Duke

and I'll show you where the placemats are.

You gotta help me.

Not my uncle.

You really think I wouldn't find this?!

No.

C'mon Meredith,

that's why the waiter died.

You killed her.

No, no!

Hey,

what's going on? Are you okay?

Why did you say that?

What?

"You've gotta help me. Not my uncle."

You've got to help me

with the place settings, not my uncle, um...

He doesn't have a clue.

You got me. Guilty as charged.

Oh

Hey, what is going on?

You okay?

Yeah.

I just need a minute, okay?

Yeah, sure.

Told you I was coming.

Told you I was coming.

Get it together, Meredith.

Mm, no.

See, I used to think "Arne" was weird.

I mean, who else has that name besides me and that one

pro wrestler with a killer spinebuster? Hm?

But

then I met Marmaduke Dawson, the Fourth.

Really?

Yeah, well, you can blame my great-great-grand daddy for that.

His name was John,

but he wanted something more unique and fancy

for his kids.

Now look what happened.

You're sitin' at this table with Texas oil royalty.

Oh. Hardly.

The well went dry in the time of Marmaduke the Second, but um

you know, even then,

we'd be minor viscounts or sub-earls or something.

Or dukes.

Ahh

I walked right into that one didn't I?

At least you didn't-didn't take Meredith's last name.

Marmaduke Lardonus.

Yeesh.

Oh, you're Meredith Lardonus.

Oh, Sadie.

Oh, um...

I'm so sorry.

That's okay.

It's just, um... a hazard of meeting someone new for me.

So I don't do it very often.

But I am.

Or I was.

Meredith Lardonus.

I didn't mean to...

Of course not.

So, what version have you heard?

What do you mean?

Well, there was the star-crossed lovers one.

The one where I was the mastermind.

Or there was that one about the CIA PSYOP.

All of them, I guess.

Well, the true one's the most boring one.

Charles Mason Atwater

kidnapped me our last day of high school.

Forced me on an 11-day crime spree.

Under the threat that he would kill my parents.

But he actually killed them before he even picked me up.

Hmm.

No, please don't.

Meredith?

Oh I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

Um.

You know it's better to just rip off the Band-Aid?

And that way you can relax,

and we can talk about something else?

Hey.

It's okay, really.

Well, like you said, let's talk about something else.

Hm?

Please. Like the first

game of Game Night.

Yes.

The name of this game is...

Hearts!

Oh! Ah?

Love it.

Great. I love hearts. I'm good at hearts.

Hope the generator holds out.

Ya, me too.

Oh, Meredith, I wanted to speak to you about something.

Oh yeah?

Indeed.

I've got a television show to pitch to you.

Why me?

Well, you're the closest thing

I've got to an entertainment industry connection.

Then by all means, go ahead.

Okay,

It's a reality show called "Demo House".

I don't know if my network's into that kind of thing.

Oh, hush.

Now listen, it-it-it's a buncha Californ-I-A lookin' people

living at a big mansion together competing for a fabulous prize.

Huh.

Sounds like a lot of reality TV.

Only this time, the prize is the mansion itself.

And all they have to do is find the deed

that's hidden somewhere inside the house.

Huh!

It could be hidden in the walls, or it could be under the carpet,

but they have to tear the whole thing down

to find it.

Oh, so the more they destroy the house,

the less of a prize it becomes.

Exactly.

Hm.

And they could be competing for tools,

or maybe they get voted out.

Not sure about that one. But, one thing I am sure of

is the big reveal.

Where the deed is hidden.

Yes!

It's in a closet,

inside the box

with the cleaning supplies.

No!

It's great.

That's funny Love it.

I dig it. My network is in.

Great. That's great to hear.

Oh, um...

Damn it.

Ah?

All right. What's everybody got?

None for me.

Zero.

Yeah, me too, which means somebody shot the moon.

Enjoy all those points, folks.

What did I tell you? A ringer!

I prefer shark.

How did you get to be so smart?

Oh.

There's different kinds of smart.

I just happen to be puzzle smart because I write puzzles

for work.

Meredith writes Minnie's mini mysteries.

Really? You're Minnie?

Well, me and six other people, plus an editor.

That's amazing. I love those.

Well, it makes sense why you're so good at

figuring things out.

Well, like I said, it's my job.

Do you ever do the -uh lateral thinking puzzles?

I do, yeah!

Like, um, you know the one where the

man pulls up to the hotel and knows he's bankrupt?

Because he is playing Monopoly.

We should do that as a game!

Like those were always my favorite.

We're in the middle of this one!

Arne,

do you really want to sit around and

watch Meredith shoot the moon three more times?

No.

All right. Well,

What's the name of this next game?

Sadie's mini mysteries.

In the circus, there's a woman who's a human target

for a knife thrower.

Everything about the performance goes exactly like normal,

but on this night

she dies.

Why does she die?

New shoes.

They made her taller.

Damn!

I was saving that one.

I thought I was gonna get you for sure!

Can I go next?

Winner prompts,

them's the rules.

Okay.

Hmm...

There's a woman

writing a letter in a cabin.

There's a power outage

and she dies.

Is the cabin in the woods?

No.

Is there poison involved?

Mm-mm.

It's gotta hinge on either the cabin

or... maybe the letter?

Hm, that is not a yes or no question.

Okay.

Um.

Is it a letter that you can put in the mail?

No.

What other kind of letter is there?

It's both.

Does she die from a fall?

Yes!

She's a sky writer!

Ah! She's

in a cabin on a plane, and -uh she's writing a letter

in-a sky writing message and

then they lose power, and so the plane crashes.

Bingo.

Clever.

Ah! Okay, let me see.

Um...

Three men at a party,

The first man

really needs to tell the second man something,

but

can't let the third man hear.

So how does he tell him?

Can they go into another room?

No.

Does the third man know the secret already?

Yes.

Is he actively trying to prevent their communication?

Catching on...

What about a foreign language,

something that the third man doesn't know?

Nope. Uh, the first man only speaks English.

What about a made-up language?

Igp-ay Atinl-ay?

No, I don't think so.

Is the first man in danger?

You both are.

Sadie, I think we need to have a word.

I'm just playing the game.

What's that about?

I don't know.

Meredith.

What?

You know-I'm just gonna go pee.

Okay?

Are you serious?

What did I tell you?!

Just let me.

What are you doing?

I'm doing exactly what you asked me to do.

No, you're not- I'm making.

Those are my friends out there. You're making nice!?

What are you playing at?! You don't know these people!

I-

You don't know what she's been through!

Just do what I tell you to do!

Bet you're just glad

it's not you in there anymore, huh?

Yeah.

But you know it could be.

Right?

You could be in there.

She could be out here.

Easy as anything.

Yeah.

You're not gonna give me a reason to do that.

No, of course not.

Good.

Let's take care of this.

Do what I tell you to do!

We have to do something.

What do you think is going on?

I don't know.

Well, you have to be able to say something

if you-if you want to do something about it.

I don't think she's his niece.

I think he kidnapped her.

I don't know, Mer.

That's a pretty big lead from her telling a story

about a person being in trouble.

But it's not just that.

It's what she said to me in the kitchen.

The locks on the drawers,

the fight, that you just saw they had.

I just don't think it adds up.

You didn't see her face.

Duke, I know that face.

I know that look.

I gave so many people that look

when Charlie would make me go to the store for him.

When he'd make me pay for gas.

Who knows how many people saw that look on my face

and they did nothing.

Because they thought the same thing.

"Well, it doesn't add up."

What if somebody did do something?

My life could look a whole lot different.

Hey, dessert's ready!

Hey, thanks.

Well, hurry up or we're gonna eat it all.

Fine.

We gotta be careful. You follow my lead.

Okay.

K.

So, uh, Sadie.

What's the answer to your riddle?

What?

From the lateral thinking puzzle game earlier.

What was the answer?

Sign language.

The two men don't speak another language, but uh

they can sign it.

Oh, nice. That's so clever, I love it.

Where do you go to school?

She graduated early.

Taking time off before college.

Where you going?

Not sure.

Where do you want to go?

UT?

A&M?

I only applied out of state.

I really want to get away from here.

Well, I'm sure your parents will miss you.

Say, which one of -uh Arne's sisters is your mom?

Hm, Sidney.

I... didn't realize Sidney had kids.

Mhm.

Just me.

And your dad?

Well that's a bit of a

sore subject, actually.

Not really a dessert topic, right, Sadie?

Right.

But if you all are done, I know the exact game we play next.

Huh?

Sadie, help me clear this.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Did we meet Sidney last year?

I don't know. Maybe that was Rachel? Maybe?

Honey, do you want to just go?

And leave her here by herself with him?

Right.

It's gotta be all three of us.

We have to get her alone somehow.

So...

The name of this one is called...

Howdy Partner.

It's an old schoolyard favorite.

One person is blindfolded

and they're trying to find everyone else.

And whenever they yell out "Howdy,".

Everybody else says "partner".

Arne... that's Marco Polo.

No, it's a total Texas original.

That is exactly like Marco Polo.

Sadie, come on. You go first. Show 'em how it's done.

Oh, I don't know.

Come on, turn around!

Do I have to?

We talked about this.

I know, but, um...

I...

Be polite.

Please?

Hey, Arne, can I go first?

Sure.

Sadie can go second.

No peeking.

Okay.

Hey.

Ooh, it's dark.

You sure you're okay with this?

Yeah.

You're sure?

Yeah. Got you to look out for me, right?

Of course.

Okay. Then I'm good.

Okay. All right.

You ready?

Alright? Yeah.

Okay. Well then

howdy, partner.

Howdy!

Partner!

Howdy!

Partner!

Howdy!

Partner!

Howdy!

Partner!

Partner.

Ready or not, here I come!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa, hey, hey honey, hey, hey, hey.

Are you okay?

Hey!

Hey!

Are you okay?

Babe!

What do you need?

Space... need space.

Sadie, can you help me to the bathroom?

Can I help?

NO!

No.

After she has a flash like this, it takes her a while

before she's comfortable around a man.

Even me.

You sure?

Yeah.

We can manage, right Sadie?

Okay.

Just take my hand.

Thank you.

I was just coming home, like normal,

and then

there he was

in the shadows.

And I

I tried to grab his face to, like, you know

jab his eyes or something, and he... bit me

and

put something over my mouth and...

I passed out.

And then he brought you here.

Yeah.

Woke up in there.

All tied up.

But then, you knocked on the door,

and... he told me to pretend to be, like,

his sister's kid or something.

He didn't think we were coming because of the storm.

Oh, my god.

I can't believe this.

What are we gonna do?

I don't know.

Lemme have your phone.

Like, some of the new ones have the um...

Emergency calling or whatever.

I don't know what that is.

It's too old.

Does your husband have one?

He's got the same one.

What if we just go?

I can't leave Duke.

But he's a man.

I'm not leaving my husband in danger.

Then... um, wh-what if we take one of the guns off the walls?

Guns mean nothing without bullets.

Alright. Knives?

He's locked all the drawers.

What if we just, like, hit him with something?

Sadie, without a real weapon to even the playing field,

we don't stand a chance.

So we just have to outsmart him.

How?

I don't know.

But I'm gonna figure it out.

We've been playing a game all night, right?

Well, now I know what game we're playing.

Hey.

Remember what Arne said about me and games?

That you're a shark.

That's right.

I just gotta find the right play to get him back on his heels.

Something outside of the box, something that he won't notice.

You all okay in there?

Mm-hm.

She all right?

Water helps.

Does it now?

Yeah. Can't explain it.

Hm.

Hey.

How'd that go?

I know.

What?

I know.

You know what?

I know what you did.

What did I do?

You kidnapped that girl out there.

You drugged her.

Brought her back here to do god knows what.

And now you have her pretending to be your niece.

So you could play some sick, twisted little game,

but that ends now.

Is uh.

Is that what she told you?

She told me everything.

I see.

Meredith, she's making fun of you.

No she's not.

Yes, she is.

That's why I took her aside when she made up that puzzle game.

She's telling a story

to try to trigger you.

That can't be true.

Why would someone do that?

For fun.

No.

Mm-mm. I don't believe it.

Sadie's...

Sadie's a very complicated person.

The reason Duke didn't know my sister had a baby

is because she gave it up when she was born.

She just came back into our life when she turned 18

a few months ago.

She's had about a rough a go, as you can imagine.

She didn't graduate early.

She got kicked out of the only reform school that she hadn't

already been expelled from. She attacked another girl!

That's how she got that bite mark on her hand.

I don't believe it.

What would it take?

What?

What would it take for you to believe me?

You could give me a weapon.

Would a knife work?

It's a start.

Drawer code is 8650.

I installed that after she came to stay with me.

She's hurt herself in the past.

What about a gun?

In my locker at the gun club, same reason.

What about all the guns on the walls?

Antiques.

No firing pins.

I may be a redneck,

but I'm not an idiot.

Well, I can't carry these.

Hold on to it if you want.

I am so sorry, Meredith.

This is not the first thing she's done like this.

But for my money

it is the cruelest.

Damn it.

Hey.

Arne told me about Sadie's prank.

Mm.

I'm so sorry, Mer.

It's fine.

Do you wanna go?

No.

Meredith, I don't wanna stay if you're gonna be miserable.

I don't wanna keep ruining your life because of my craziness.

You. Are not. Crazy.

Of course I am.

Please don't say mean things like that about my wife.

She's got a lot to carry, but she's not crazy.

I'm just so sick of being a burden on you.

You are not.

We moved to the middle of nowhere.

We never go out,

and then when we do,

I... make up kidnapping stories and threaten our host.

A VERY troubled girl,

played a very mean prank on you.

That's all.

I believed her.

And that was kind

and courageous.

Anybody would be lucky to have

a person like you in their corner in that situation.

Never stop being who you are.

When you get in there,

she had better believe you are being genuine.

You got me?

Yes, sir.

Good. Now go on.

Go on.

I'm sorry.

Elaborate.

I'm

sorry that I was

making fun of you.

It was just a joke.

And?

And

um

if I can do anything to make it right,

Please let me know.

It's okay.

And thank you for the apology.

We understand if you two wanna leave.

We'd love it if you

stuck around and played a few more games?

Sure.

We'd love to stay.

Wonderful.

You ever played?

No, I played lacrosse.

Ha!

You private school guys.

I know.

You Texans love their football.

Damn near broke my heart when I had to quit.

No! What happened?

Knee injury.

We won state in '97 and it would have repeated.

If I hadn't have rolled my knee during two-a-days senior year.

I'm so sorry, Arne.

Still hurts sometimes, but on the bright side,

I can tell you when a storm's coming in.

Is that really a thing?

Oh, yeah. It's about pressure.

Oh.

Really?

I'm sorry.

It was really all that I could play.

But, phoof! Nine points,

you're not gonna catch Meredith with a word like that.

It was all I had.

All right then.

Shark, you're up.

You think anyone's gonna help you?

No... no...

Alright, do you guys need anything else?

Charlie! Please!

Don't do this.

Help's not coming.

Hey, you okay, honey?

Yeah, yeah.

I don't know about the rest of you, though.

What?

Yep.

Oh, there's more.

Ohh.

Ohh, there's more.

Nooo.

Come on!

That's ridiculous.

I mean, well, so..

Double... double P there

plus the bonus.

That's 66.

And then the triple word score,

it's... 198?

Oh and we're empty!

I-I'm not even gonna tally the victor, because...

I'm the only one with a total higher than that one play.

Bravo, babe.

Thanks.

All right, what's next?

You mean which game you're gonna whip us at next?

Oh, well, if we're gonna play

another game, I would like a cup of coffee.

Well, I think the rule is that the winner serves coffee.

Oh, nice. I love that.

Thank you, babe.

Fine.

Alright, well as long as you all are

done with the football talk by the time I get back.

No promises, but we'll try.

Let me help.

Please, um.

I just want to make up for earlier.

Arne, it's fine, really.

All right, but hey.

Be nice.

Yes, sir.

She says one word.

I'll let you know.

So what position did you play?

Defensive back.

I hope you didn't believe any of that.

Sadie.

He threatened me.

He told me that he'd kill us all if I didn't apologize.

This isn't funny.

No, it's not.

Our lives are on the line.

Sadie, he explained everything to me.

He even gave me a weapon.

A gun?

His pocket knife.

Well, then he still has the edge.

None of the guns in this house work.

That's a lie.

He said it was for your own protection.

Same thing with the lock that's on the knife drawer.

Hey... I know what it's like to struggle.

Do you understand

that everything he's telling you about me is a confession?

He's the one playing with your trauma, not me.

He's using it to make you think that I am some woman driven

crazy by her past.

Sadie, you said you weren't gonna do this anymore.

Yeah, well, I lied.

I think that breaking a promise

is worth saving our lives.

I'm going to have to talk to your own uncle about this.

You are gonna get us killed.

I'm not the only one he took.

He also abducted my roommate, Tessa.

When I came home in the storm last night,

I found him standing over her unconscious body.

And I don't know if he always intended to take us both and

messed up the timing, or,

or I came home early

because we closed on account of the storm.

So what happened to Tessa?

She's locked up in the shed.

Why are you just telling me this now?

Because I wanted to live.

I...

I told myself that

that if you guys got me out of here,

then we would bring the cops back and... we would get to her

before he killed her.

But I wanted to live.

And I didn't care

if it meant that she had to die.

Bet you're just glad it's not you in there anymore, huh?

Yeah.

It could be.

Right?

You could be in there.

She could be out here.

Easy as anything.

Yeah.

But you're not gonna make me do that to you.

Of course not.

Of course not.

Good.

Because after we take care of her,

we'll rob another bank.

You're gonna help me.

Unless you wanted to take her place again.

Good girl.

Am I a monster?

Listen,

I know you're having trouble believing me.

But just think about what you're risking.

If you believe me, then okay.

You look silly and my "uncle" gets mad at me.

If you don't...

You're risking all of our lives.

Fine.

Thank god.

I need proof, Sadie.

Real, tangible proof.

Okay.

I can go check the shed.

It's locked.

Do you know where he leaves the keys?

Okay.

What now?

What?

What game you want to play now?

Not sure.

Ah, Thanks, babe.

Yeah. Where's Sadie?

Oh, she's right behind me with ours.

What'd you two talk about in there?

You know, girl stuff.

Such as?

Football mostly.

No, she just apologized more.

Seems like it got through to her that she crossed a line.

Good.

So, what are we playing now?

Not sure.

Anyone have a suggestion?

Thank you.

Um, I got a game.

Great.

Okay, the name of this game is... "Prove It".

Okay, and how do you play "Prove It"?

That's simple. Somebody asks you a question

and then you answer it.

So it's just like the truth part of Truth or Dare.

Not quite.

So it's not just about the truth.

You have to also prove your truth.

And then the rest of us, we try to poke holes in your story.

Kind of like you did with me in the kitchen earlier.

Where do you think I got the idea?

Yeah, I'm sorry, babe. I-I'm still not getting it.

Okay, let's play one and you'll get it.

So, Duke, let's start with you.

Oh.

Duke...

Prove that we're married.

Well, couldn't I just... couldn't I just ask you?

You could, but I could lie.

Well, we're both wearing wedding rings.

You could have bought that at the jewelry store.

You know, you don't need a legal permit to wear

the rings on that finger. Mhm he's got it.

Okay, well let me-let me think.

Um, I could go get our marriage certificate.

It could work, but...

They could be forgeries, right?

Yeah, bingo.

Okay, so then I'd have to get all of that

information together,

take it down to the county clerk's office,

have them authenticate it with you all present.

And then that should prove that we're married.

I think that about covers it.

Well, babe!

Congratulations. We're married.

Oh, I'm so glad.

Okay Arne, you ready?

Hit me.

Prove that you're not a serial killer.

I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.

Hey... Meredith...

What?

Ask a different question.

I'm-I'm just trying to make it something we can laugh about.

Then I'll answer.

No.

Oh, I insist.

Okay, go ahead.

Well...

I already gave you a weapon.

That could be a bluff.

That's fair.

What about Sadie admitting that she's my niece?

Well she could be lying.

Hm.

You could check our IDs or

go through our birth records on me, her, and her mom.

Well, that only proves you're her uncle,

and that's not the question.

That's right.

Even if you weren't going to serial kill her, you could

still be a serial killer.

Mm.

Kind of hard to prove a negative, isn't it?

That's the game, Arne.

Why don't you let us search the shed?

I'm supposed to answer.

It's all right, you guys.

We're just trying to have some fun here, right?

Yeah!

And, um, Arne,

she really does have a point.

So why don't you just hand me over your keys?

Let me search the property. That'll prove it.

That wouldn't prove anything.

It'll prove that you don't have a woman tied up in your shed.

Who says I don't have one tied up in my barn?

Who says I don't have one

tied up in an apartment I rent in town?

Who says that I keep them alive

long enough to even tie them up at all?

The best proof I have is this.

Serial killers are a fragment

of a fragment of our total population, right?

What are the odds that you

would run into two?

Hm.

Alright, y'all

I think we've taken this game about as far as it should go.

Oh, no, that's okay.

Close enough for a game, right?

Right.

I'll buy it.

Augh!

Oh my god! Oh, I'm so sorry!

It's fine.

Let me wash it for you.

I said it's fine.

Arne! Come on, I insist.

You don't have to.

Like I said, I insist.

So I'll just throw these in the wash. But hey,

get Sadie with a

good one for me, okay?

Her mother would love it if i could prove

she doesn't have a boyfriend.

You're up, Sadie.

Alright, I got one for you.

Sadie,

I want you to prove that "rizz" wasn't just a word made up

by your generation to confuse old folks.

And... that's "rizz".

Get it?

No.

What's taking Meredith?

I don't know.

I'm gonna go check on her.

Meredith!

C'mon.

Have you guys seen my keys?

No.

Ha

Okay

Oh my god.

Oh my god.

Are you-are you okay?

Are you okay?

Okay.

You're Tessa, right?

You're Sadie's roommate?

Honey, we're gonna get you out of here, okay?

Damn it!

It's not working

Okay, just hang on.

I just gotta find the right key.

None of these keys are working!

Okay.

Just bear with me. I gotta get these ke

Alright none of them are working

Hang on!

Hang on honey!

No!

Hang on honey!

Nooo!

Hang on!

I just got to find the right key.

Meredith.

Damn it!

None of them are working!

Meredith.

Meredith!

Meredith?

What the hell?!

What are you-?

SADIE HE KNOWS!

Wait!

What?

What the hell are you doing?!

What the hell are you doing?

What the hell are you doing? Huh?!

Huh?!

What the hell are you doing?

Hey, get off!

Oh!

Ow!

Doh-He's got a gun!

He's got a gun!

Duke?

Mer.

Duke?

Duke?

Duke?

What happened?

He's dead.

So he really was.

Sadie was telling the truth.

We have to get him to a hospital.

Uh here, take this.

Just in case he's not dead.

Careful, careful.

Careful, careful, okay.

Okay, the keys to Tessa's shackles.

They weren't on his key ring. So maybe search his body?

Okay, is Tessa alright?

Yeah, I think so.

Okay get him in.

I'll get the police

here as soon as I can. Okay?

Honey... where are the keys?

The-the-the-the-c-cup holder.

Cup holder.

Yeah baby good! Now

What the hell?

No.

No!

Uh...

Okay, I-I-I dropped-um,

Arne's keys by Tessa in the shed.

Can you go get them?

Got it.

And tell her that

we're-we're getting help, okay?

Okay, Duke, we gotta get you into Arne's truck, okay?

Heyyy, good lookin'

Hey! Hey! Stay with me!

Ohhhh, I was just

playin' possum.

Got 'em.

Okay, thank you.

Can you watch him?

Yeah.

Okay. C'mon.

Oh! No! No! No! No! No!

NO!

Do you know anything about cars?

What are we gonna do?

I'll run for it.

What?!

I can't just wait here!

We're his closest neighbor.

If my internet's back on, I'll call 911.

If not, I'll get my car.

You need to put pressure on his wound, okay?

Okay. Keep him safe?

Mm-hmm.

Hey, baby.

Hey.

Need you to hang in there for me.

Okay.

Do as I say, please.

I love you, too.

C'mon please.

Oh my god.

Oh my god

Oh thank god, oh god.

Hi!

Yes, I need an ambulance.

Yes, the Shaffer Ranch.

My husband's been shot.

I don't know. I'm not there.

No, it's too much to explain. Please just have them hurry.

Oh my god, that long?

Mer.

He'll be okay.

He will.

Yes.

Okay.

Um, no, it was an accident.

And I think Arne Shafer kidnapped two women.

Yes.

Yes, they're okay.

But I...

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

Duke.

Duke!

If you can hear me, baby, squeeze my hand, okay?

Good.

I need you to play possum for real now, okay?

Okay good.

Is he dead?

Yes.

Sorry.

He had to die.

But you don't.

Actually works out better this way.

Hm.

So you won the game, I guess.

Guess I did.

Game we didn't even know we were playing.

Still lost, though.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

You ever shot a gun before?

There's one more game I want to play.

The name of this game

is "What Did You Miss?"

Hm, what do you mean?

Well, to play this game, I have to be right about everything.

If I miss something, I'll forfeit.

So let's begin.

Stay...

Hang on.

Okay.

I think,

everything that Arne told me,

is true.

You are his niece.

And I'm guessing that woman out there

that's your mom Sidney.

Wow.

Okay.

Stay

where you are.

Aren't you forgetting?

You need me alive.

So my guess is

she did give you up as a baby.

And Arne probably encouraged her to do it.

Then something happened to you in the foster care system?

Something really terrible?

Shut up.

I'm so sorry.

And then everything tonight,

some planned, some improvised.

All lead you here,

you have the gun,

the family that abandoned you are dead.

There's no witnesses.

And you even have the crazy lady from the news

to take the blame.

Am I still right?

Okay, that's what I thought.

So the story goes,

the crazy lady thinks you're being kidnapped.

So she snaps, kills everyone.

But if the crazy lady goes to the cops to say you did it all,

they're just gonna think she's more crazy, so...

I mean, that's not bad.

Huh.

Do you want to know how I figured it out?

Mm, not really.

Well, there's a picture of you on my fridge.

Yeah.

You... your uncle... and your mother...

Right in the middle of Arne's Christmas card.

Huh.

So you did forget about it.

It doesn't matter.

Oh, but it does.

Because that means

I've got everything right.

And now you can join the game.

Because chances are, if you made one mistake,

you probably made a few more.

I didn't.

Oh, but you did.

You made three mistakes.

Mistakes that'll make your story unravel.

Mistakes

that'll put you in prison

whether I'm there to point them out or not.

Fine.

How do I play?

You find and fix all three mistakes before the cops come.

Otherwise, I win.

You're bluffing.

Okay.

I thought you'd say that.

So I'm gonna give you this one

for free.

You really did a number on Uncle Arne.

It was very smart of you to make sure that

my prints were on the knife.

But you did hit him in the head with a rifle.

And only your prints are on that.

It's a pretty easy match to a head injury.

I'll say that I was aiming at you.

Okay.

Yeah, that could work.

Or you could just wipe it down.

Seems a lot simpler.

Wipe it!

Good.

Better safe than sorry.

Screw you.

You ready to concede?

I still think you're bluffing.

Of course you do.

Not gonna tell you this one.

But I'll give you a hint.

It's something outside.

Something on the patio?

Now you're catching on.

But no, wrong area.

The trucks.

Bullseye.

Outside.

Now!

Yeah.

Yep.

The rifle could have been explained.

Disabling cars.

What's the last one?

Now we're playing.

What is it?

This one's not gonna wipe away like a fingerprint.

Is it a person?

Is it in the house?

Something on Duke?

No, not on Duke.

Something on you.

Wrong again.

Me?

There you go.

You got it.

So that bite mark,

it's from when you abducted your mom, right?

I'll just say it was you.

Bite mark analysis.

No way I'm a match.

You know, it's gonna be really tough.

Try to explain why your own mother bit you,

when you were just trying to save her from

mean old Meredith Lardonus.

It's final buzzer, Sadie.

What's it gonna be?

Oh my god.

Checkmate bitch.

HELP ME!

PLEASE!!

STOP HER!

HELP! SHE'S GOT A GUN!

I could even make them change color.

You showed me something tonight, Sadie.

I've been so ashamed

of feeling fragile.

So focused on all my fears

that I couldn't even appreciate how far I've come.

How strong I actually am.

But Duke was right.

I'm not an ordinary woman.

I'm extraordinary.

You wanna know the truth about me and Charles Mason Atwater?

It's gonna sound pretty familiar.

I tricked him into giving me a gun.

And then I killed his ass.

But lucky for you,

I learned my lesson.

You're not worth it.

Duke!

Duke!

Oh my god, Duke!

Duke!

Duke! Don't be gone.

Hey.

Hey.

The ambulance is almost here honey okay?

Did you win?

Of course we did.

Hey.

Where are you?

On Arne's couch playing possum?

Yeah.

It's rough.

I'm okay.

I know.

You're not fragile.

Neither are you.

Damn straight.

We're extraordinary.
