That was really good.

Hey, listen. You didn't have to pay for that. Seriously.

Oh, come on! It's the least I could do. I invited

you guys. And besides, now that I'm divorced,

who else am I spending my money on but my big brother

and his family? Come on. Yeah, but you're

not gonna be single for long. Oh, God.

- Thank you, Uncle Michael. - Of course.

Hey, what did I tell you? Best food in Philly?

Mm-hm. All right.

Well, uh, I've gotta show a property

early tomorrow, so I'm gonna take off.

OK. Be safe, kiddo.

- OK. - Drive safe.

- Good night, Amy. - Night.

Sorry, guys. Excuse me for a second.

Look, I know you need this so just take it.

- Right here? - Just take it.

- Come on. - Look, just take it.

I know you need it, take it. I don't need it,

just put it away. Really? That's a first.

All right.

All right. Well, I'm over this way.

Take care. Yeah. Thanks for dinner.

Bye, Michael. Drive safe

Was that really necessary back there?

You embarrassed him. Michael's been borrowing

money from me my entire life.

I mean, I don't... I can't imagine

he's just gonna get embarrassed now.

You know, I don't think he's doing as well

as we thought he was. What if he starts drinking again?

- Yeah. That implies he stopped. - Trevor!

I-I could smell it on him when we got there.

I'm just surprised Kelsie stayed with him for as long as she did.

Still, she didn't have to cheat on him.

It's a really crappy thing to do to somebody, you know.

If you're not happy, leave.

You don't put them through that.

That kinda oversimplifies it, don't you think?

I don't understand why you always defend her.

Michael needs you on his side right now.

Michael's a screw-up, Kelsie isn't.

I call 'em like I see 'em.

Get behind me! Get behind me! Oh, my God!

AH!

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Ah! Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

- Argh! - [911, what's your emergency?]

Yes! My husband's being attacked by a man with a mask!

Yes. Uh, uh, Slawson and 135th.

- Are you OK? - Yeah, I'm OK.

- Are you OK? - Yeah. Listen.

He's about 5'9". He's wearing black.

He's got a black mask. And, uh, he ran east on Slawson.

He went that way.

- They'll be here soon. - Yeah, yeah. Oh, my God!

You should have seen the way your father rushed these guys.

I mean, it was incredible. It was like his instincts just kicked in.

- So, did they catch him yet? - No, not yet.

That's Mike.

You should take that. He probably just wants

- an update. - Yeah.

Hey, Mike. How's it going?

It's, uh, too bad neither of you

got a good look at the guy. Yeah. He was wearing a mask.

All I remember is seeing that gun

pointed at your father's face. Well...

maybe they could get a serial number or prints off of it.

I don't have much faith in the police.

Why is that?

Why don't you have faith in the police? You've said that before.

When you have a little bit more life experience, you'll understand.

Holy crap!

What happened in here? Hey, Ben!

I thought you were gonna order the cake.

I decided it's more personal if it's homemade.

Ash, your mom and mamacita are gonna love it.

- Thanks. - Hey, look at this.

What?

Did you know about that?

You can get copies of your birth records now,

even though they're closed. Wait. Are... are you serious?

Yeah. They changed the law in Pennsylvania a few years ago.

I overheard a guy in a coffee shop talking about it.

- Are you happy? - Uh...

I thought you would be since you wanted more info

on your biological mom but kept hitting walls.

Yes. I am. It's just, um...

It's just a lot to process,

that's all. Um... So I can

get a birth certificate with her name on it now?

Well, I printed this one off for you too.

You send that in with 20 bucks,

they'll give you her name.

Wow. That's just...

Uh, thank you. You... you're amazing.

You know that, right? So we've been

together for 24 years.

And it took the state of Pennsylvania

a long time to recognize our marriage

but, you know what, they finally came through.

- Here, here. - And I have to say,

I have never been happier.

Maricella, you're

the best thing that's ever happened to me.

And, Ashley,

you're by far the best thing that's ever happened to us.

So here's to another 24. (people cheering)

- Time for cake! - Cake, everybody!

No, no, no. Listen to me.

Listen. That's just too risky

in my opinion, OK? We've got to be more careful.

I gotta go. I'll talk to you later, OK?

Sweetheart, what are you doing up? You feeling OK?

Who was that?

Walter.

Some new fund he wants us to invest in.

Hmm... Walter works late.

Yeah. I don't think the guy ever sleeps.

And speaking of sleep, I am exhausted.

I'm gonna go to bed. Are you coming?

Yeah. I'll be up in a minute.

OK. I'll see you up there.

It's been two weeks since that guy

tried to rob my dad and the police have nothing.

They're worthless, not a single suspect!

Well, they weren't hurt,

so I doubt it's the top of their priority list.

It's good

to see you and your stepmom getting along better than ever.

Yeah. I've learned to keep the peace. My dad hates it when I call her out.

She's good to your dad. Be appreciative of that.

She's good at spending his money.

She's been living off him for what, the past 10 years?

- Why do you hate her so much? - I don't hate her.

I just don't trust her.

You can just never get a straight answer out of her.

She's always intentionally vague.

I can see how that would drive someone like you nuts;

You're the complete opposite.

Thank you. I'll take that as a compliment.

"Division of Vital Records."

- Come in.

- Sorry to interrupt, sweetie. - No, don't worry about it.

Trust me, any break from statistics is a good one.

This came for you.

You know what this is, don't you?

I have an idea.

"Dear Miss Ashley Beck Ford,

"we received your request

"for your original non-certified birth record.

"Our records indicate that you were born

"in Philadelphia County to Miss Sara Ann Gilbert.

"Date of birth: September 29th, 1978."

"No father was listed."

"And the name given to you at birth was..."

"Emily Ann Gilbert."

Emily Ann.

She wanted me to have the same middle name as her.

I'm sorry. I-I don't know why I'm getting so emotional.

Oh, Ashley.

- Are you going somewhere? - Yeah.

Denver for meetings. Back Tuesday.

Oh. Why so long?

Just... I have a lot to accomplish, that's all.

- You used to take me with you. - Can't do it this time.

Gotta focus on work. But I won't be

a distraction. I'll just...

lay out by the pool; I'll get massaged.

Next time.

Gotta go. Call you tonight.

OK.

Why did you have to have such a common name?

Oh, my God!

I found you.

This is a really nice letter, If I got this

from the daughter I gave up, I'd wanna meet her.

Really? You think so?

Should I have written it by hand?

No, I don't think you have to. Like, you signed it and...

the important thing is you let her know that you don't blame her.

Will you deliver it for me?

Me? Why don't you just put it in the mail?

I don't know if she has kids or something.

What if they don't know about me? I just wanna make sure

- she gets it in person. - OK.

I'll do it tomorrow morning.

Thank you.

Sara, you don't need these.

Just go to bed.

I'll get it.

Hey. I'm looking for Sara Hillman.

Yeah. That's me.

It's private, just FYI.

Thanks.

Hello?

- Ashley, is this you?

Yes.

Oh, my.

Ashley, it's Sara. This is your mother.

[I got your letter.]

[I just want you to know how happy it made me.]

I can't believe you found me.

I would love to meet you in person.

When are you free?

Uh, t-today, this afternoon.

I mean, if you're available...

Today, today is perfect.

Any time in the afternoon, it's... it's good for me.

Um, you have my address?

OK. Yes, of course. I'll... I'll see you soon!

[I'm really looking forward to meeting you.]

[Me too.] - We have so much to catch up on.

You've finally come back to me...

my beautiful little girl.

Wow!

Ashley!

Hi.

I can't believe you're really here!

Look at you.

What a beautiful young woman you are!

Thank you. These are for you.

Thank you.

They're, they're, they're gorgeous.

You have no idea how long I've waited for this moment.

- Really? - Yeah.

It's the happiest day of my life.

Come on.

Do you want sugar or cream?

No thank you. Black is fine.

I'm so sorry you don't get to meet my husband Trevor today.

That's all right. Next time.

Next time, yes, for sure.

- So... where do we start? - Uh...

Maybe with why?

Yeah, why I gave you up.

I'm sure you've wondered about that your entire life.

Well, I was, um...

I was very young when I met your father.

I had been staying with friends

and, um, they took me to this party, and he was there.

We spent the night together.

I never saw him again after that.

I didn't know his last name.

My friends didn't either.

I think his first name was Roy.

He was quite tall. He was very attractive.

And I'm guessing he never knew you were pregnant.

You know what? I think that the past

is really important to talk about,

and we should talk about it, all of it,

eventually, but...

I just really wanna know more about you right now.

Well, uh, I'm in grad school.

I'm studying to become a pediatrician.

I don't have any brothers or sisters,

but I was adopted by these two wonderful women who...

Sarah?

Oh!

I'm sorry. I didn't realize you had company.

Oh, no, no, it's fine. It's fine.

Hi. I'm Amy, Trevor's daughter.

Nice to meet you. Uh, Ashley.

Ashley is the daughter of an old friend of mine.

The last time we saw each other,

she was... she was just a baby.

- Really? - Yeah.

Wow!

Do you need something? Um, your father's in Denver.

I, uh... I just stopped by to get my jacket

that I left here the other night.

OK, well, it's probably in the closet.

OK.

I'm sorry. I didn't catch your last name.

It's Beck Ford.

Got it.

I'm so sorry, honey.

I'm so sorry. Please don't think

that I lied about who you are because... because I'm ashamed

or anything like that. It's just that, um...

Trevor and Amy don't know that I gave up a daughter.

I understand. It's fine.

I'm gonna tell Trevor tonight when he gets home.

No, please don't feel obligated to

just because of me. No. I, I want to.

I-I just want Trevor to know before Amy.

I see.

Stupid bitch!

How could you?

Damn you, Kelsie.

You were happy in Miami.

Talk about keeping secrets.

You never thought to mention that you had a daughter? Please.

- Uh... OK. All right. - OK, give me this.

Well, I didn't know where she was

or if she was even still alive.

When I gave her up from the hospital,

they said that she'd never be able to find me

or that I'd have no way of knowing what happened to her.

Babe, what's the big deal? You have a daughter.

Uh, yeah, and I think I mentioned that on our first date.

OK. I get it. I should have said something.

Can't you just be happy for me that we reconnected?

It's not that Ashley exists. It's that you didn't tell me that she does.

Please. She just wants a relationship with me, OK?

She just wants to know more about herself, more about me.

I'm just surprised that you trusted her so quickly.

You're usually so skeptical

with everyone that you meet. No, I'm not.

Babe, listen to me.

I'm really happy that she found me.

OK. She's a part of my past that's good

and I wanna embrace it, and her.

- I hope you're right. - Wait until you meet her.

You're gonna see what I'm talking about.

Mm-hmm. Um, are there any other secrets

from your past that I should know about?

You know, besides the one

where you went to jail when you were 18 for forging cheques

or - haha -

the medical fraud one. That was a good one.

OK. I was 25. I didn't have insurance.

And now a child.

Babe, I promise, there's no more secrets.

Yeah, that's it. Now you know everything about me. Do I?

- I swear. - OK.

- I love you. - I love you.

Hey, Mike. I was gonna call you

later on tonight. What's up? [Hey.]

Uh, yeah. Someone tried to break into my apartment last night.

- What?!

Landlord said he was gonna have to have it rekeyed.

So what time did this happen? Uh, did you hear them?

Yeah. I don't really know. You know I'm a pretty heavy sleeper.

What's going on?

Someone tried to break into Michael's apartment last night.

- No.

Is he OK?

I had a few drinks, but not that many.

I don't know why anybody would want to break in here.

There's literally nothing to steal.

Yeah. Weird timing, right? Someone tries to rob me

the other night and now you.

♪♪♪ Hey, you don't think

that it could've been somebody you pissed off, do you?

No, I don't.

Listen, I gotta get going. Um, I'm gonna

call you later tonight. And if you need a place to stay,

feel free to come over here, OK?

Thanks, man.

I gotta wait around for the locksmith.

All right. Talk to you soon.

What's he talking about? What guys did you piss off?

Nothing. I guarantee they had nothing to do with it.

Are you in some kind of trouble?

Of course not. Look,

a couple of years ago, Mike and I did a deal with these guys

and they were being investigated by the feds.

We didn't know that at the time. The feds contacted us,

and we cooperated. That's it.

But if Michael thinks that they might be retaliating...

Well, then they're not very good at their job,

are they? Zero for two.

So what is it that your mothers do, Ashley?

Well, Kelly works as a physical therapist.

She actually just went back to work as soon as I finished

high school. And Marcella's the branch manager of a bank.

They're both successful. You must be so proud.

I am. They're amazing women.

Sara had a business at one point,

importing and selling jewelry.

Whatever happened to that? Ahem!

Uh, well, we were

travelling in Africa and found

some beautiful jewelry that was made by these village women,

so I decided to open up a shop.

- Sounds like a great idea. - Uh, well, it was

a little bit more time-consuming of an endeavour

than I imagined,

travelling all the time.

Is there a problem, Amy?

No. I just always thought

you stopped because of the incident on the plane.

Something happened on a plane?

How dare you insult me

in front of my own daughter!

You invited her knowing she would do this.

- Told you it was gonna happen. - Yeah, but did you have to bring it up?

It's always something!

Good luck with all that.

I'm sure you're happy you found your mom

but trust me, your life is about to get

a hell of a lot more complicated.

Amy's always disparaging me.

The incident on the plane was nothing.

I had a panic attack, so they had to return

to the gate to let me off.

Why do you think Amy doesn't like you?

Because she thinks that I am after her father's money,

but that's not true.

I'm really sorry that you had

to witness that drama with she and I.

- Hey, it's OK. - Yeah?

I want to get to know you,

be a part of your life, and not just the good parts.

I needed you to find me.

♪♪♪ I really, really did.

I feel sorry for her, you know.

I mean, it was kind of mean to invite Amy without telling her.

True. Just be careful.

Technically, she's still a stranger.

I know. I guess that's something I'm gonna have

to try and figure out.

Figure out what, you or her?

Both.

Understanding her might give me some insight.

Wait, what are you confused about?

You're one of the most well-adjusted people I know.

I wonder how my moms will deal with all this.

They really didn't tell me anything about it.

Your moms are gonna be fine.

It's not like you're abandoning them to move in with Sara.

That's true.

I haven't even moved in with you yet.

I'm not gonna wait forever.

Yeah, you will.

All right, I will.

No one's trying to embarrass you, Sara.

Amy was and you know it.

Look, we don't know what we're allowed to say

and what we're not allowed to say. You have so many secrets,

not even you can keep them straight. That's not true.

What you did was more embarrassing than what Amy said!

I mean, why the hell did you have to jump

out of the chair like that? How did you want me to react?!

I don't know how you're gonna react!

That's the problem! I'm living with someone

who half the time is manic and the other half is secretive,

and I don't know what's gonna come next!

Are you gonna get angry at nothing, uh, paranoid?

Is another skeleton gonna jump out of your closet at me?

No, no! Don't you dare turn this around!

You knew how important that dinner was to me! You did this

on purpose to get back at me because you knew I didn't tell you about her!

Yeah, that's what I did.

I'm gonna sleep in the other room tonight.

Good!

- Hi, Sara. - Where are you right now?

I'm on campus. I have classes today.

I need you to come to the house.

Why? What's wrong?

Trevor's been murdered.

- Sara? - Oh, Ashley!

Thank you so much for coming!

They won't let me back inside the house.

They haven't, um, taken his body out yet.

- What happened? - Yeah. So...

Oh, my God! Michael!

Michael, thank you so much for coming!

- I am so sorry. - Tell me

this is just a bad dream, this is a nightmare.

Oh, this is my daughter Ashley.

We-we-we just reconnected recently.

Where's Amy?

I haven't told her. I-I-I... I couldn't do it.

I... I can't do it. I'll do it.

Hey, what happened?

I don't know. I...

I was, um, I was in the kitchen

and then I just noticed some blood.

And then, um...

I went into the guest bedroom. It was horrible!

We... we... we had a fight

and, and that's why he slept alone.

- Was the security system on? - Yeah.

Trevor always set it

and so I just assumed that he did.

- He always does. - You didn't

see or hear anything? The police asked me

the same question. No.

No, no, no, no, I didn't.

I... I sometimes take these pills to sleep and, um,

they're really strong.

But I haven't taken them in a long time.

It's just that I was really shaken up about the fight.

Just relax, OK? Nobody's accusing you

of doing anything wrong. I didn't!

I didn't do anything wrong! I... I loved him! You know that!

I know.

I'm gonna call Amy. ♪♪♪

You don't think I had anything to do with it, do you?

Ashley, you believe me, right? You believe me?

I didn't have anything to do with it.

Yes, of course I believe you.

- OK. OK. Thank you.

As a brother, Trevor was

always generous

and supportive and kind.

He was always there for me

in difficult times.

I was in such a funk, I was, uh...

drinking all the time.

And if it weren't for Trevor,

I don't even know if I'd be here today.

I don't know why anyone would want to hurt him.

But my brother's death will not go unpunished.

I'm making it my mission

to find who did this.

- OK. - Thank you so much for coming.

Thank you.

- Sara. - Kelsie.

- I'm so sorry. - Thank you, Kelsie.

Thank you. This is Ashley.

This is my daughter. Ashley,

this is Kelsie Hillman, Michael's ex-wife.

Hello. I didn't realize you had a daughter.

- No, we recently reconnected. - I see.

Well, I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am.

Trevor was an extraordinary person.

I'm just gonna be right over there.

Amy, I just wanted to say I'm so sorry about your father.

It looks like he touched a lot of people's lives.

Yeah.

Apparently, he touched at least one person the wrong way.

Well, I'm sure the police will be able to...

The police? They're looking

at your mother as a possible suspect, did you know that?

I mean, the spouse is always suspected so I assumed.

Don't believe everything she tells you.

Why not?

You never quite get the whole truth.

What has she lied about?

Let's just say

I wouldn't be surprised if she had something to do with it.

- Your father's murder? - She had a lot of secrets.

It's hard to be back in this house.

Maybe you should stay with some friends,

just for a little bit.

Yeah, maybe.

Do you mind my asking...?

What do you think happened that night?

We fought.

Trevor took Amy's side after that horrible dinner.

She's always resented me, Amy.

Never gave me a chance.

Anyway, he decided to sleep

in the guest bedroom and I guess,

with all the drama, he must have forgotten to set the alarm.

But... whoever did this...

wouldn't they assume that he'd be in the master bedroom?

- I'm just...

I mean that...

they probably went in there first,

so why not

kill both of you?

Because they wanted Trevor dead, not me.

That's probably

why Amy thinks I'm involved.

Did Trevor have a lot of enemies?

Trevor was a kind man, if he liked you.

If he didn't, he could be ruthless.

Was he ruthless to a lot of people?

Yeah, more than he should have been.

I think this has something to do with some clients that he had

that were being investigated by the feds.

Like what?

I don't know.

He was talking on the phone with Michael about it.

They mentioned it.

And I think Michael thought

it was a problem, but Trevor didn't.

What do you think about what the daughter said, that Sara could be behind it?

- Look,

Sara's a little weird, yeah,

but... I really don't think

she's capable of murder.

I mean, she just seems so weak and fragile,

like she's on the edge of a nervous breakdown.

And I think Sara needed Trevor a lot more than he needed her.

Ashley, you need

to let the police handle it.

Do not get involved in this mess.

Hey, I'm serious.

Who's ever behind this is not afraid of committing murder.

Hi!

Ashley? What... what are you doing here?

Uh, I was just wondering

if you maybe wanted to grab a bite to eat?

Or...?

Yeah. Just meet out front of the building five minutes.

All right, uh...

Thanks.

Ahem!

So...

what did you want to discuss?

I guess what I really wanna know is your opinion

on whether or not you think Sara could have been involved somehow.

My brother's relationships were all unusual,

his marriages included.

Trevor and Sara had their problems,

but what marriage doesn't? What kind of problems?

Well, I'm really only getting it from his side,

but, uh...

I know he used to hate how secretive she was,

how, uh, how she had a checkered past.

He hated how many pills she was on.

Found them hidden all over the house.

Was she ever violent though?

One assault charge.

An ex, maybe. I don't know.

Assault?

That doesn't sound like Sara.

Sara's changed a lot

in the last 10 years.

When I first met her, she was, uh,

hard, kind of tough.

She'd anger really easily.

You couldn't really get through those walls, but...

Trevor brought the best out in her.

Amy thinks Sara could have had something to do with it.

She told me at the funeral.

Well, Amy, uh,

never really liked or accepted Sara, so you're

gonna have to take what she says with a grain of salt.

Sara said that you and Trevor

were involved in an investigation.

Do you know anything about that?

What makes her think that?

I don't know. Overheard Trevor talking about it, I guess.

No. Uh...

yeah, we have clients, but nothing ever happened with them.

What about other clients.

Sara said that Trevor could be ruthless at times.

Well, she's right about that.

You never wanted to get on Trevor's bad side.

You're jumping to conclusions.

Mom! OK, think about it like this.

Someone tries to rob Trevor after leaving a restaurant -

not successfully but still -

and then someone almost breaks into Michael's apartment,

And then Trevor's murdered in his own home, but they don't

do anything to Sara. I mean, if that doesn't sound

like a hit, I have no idea what does.

Yeah, but aren't the police looking into all this?

- Yeah, probably. - Look,

I think you just stay out of it.

I mean, nothing good is gonna come

from you playing Nancy Drew.

- You sound like Ben. - Ben's smart.

I'm not investigating, I'm just...

I don't know what I'm doing. Look, you're trying

to find out if Sara's involved because you want

a relationship with her. I get that.

Yeah.

I just really hope she's not involved.

The biggest fear Mamacita and I had

about you finding her was that you'd get hurt.

You know it's better to always know the truth,

even if it's not what you want to hear.

So what if she is involved? What then?

It's her.

She's meeting

with a probate attorney tomorrow

and wants me to go with her.

Should I?

Honey, that's...

that's up to you.

Thank you so much for meeting me here.

I had no idea you were gonna do that. I... I thought

we were just here to discuss your inheritance from Trevor.

- We did. - I know, but you're having

your lawyer write up a whole new will and leaving

everything to me. You're my daughter.

It's just a lot to take in.

I don't think you understand

how much it means to me that you came looking for me,

you know. And with everything going on right now,

I'm really, really happy to have you back in my life.

I know Amy suspects that I had something to do

with her father's death and the police do too, I'm sure.

And, yeah, I'm gonna inherit a lot of money,

but that doesn't mean that I wanted him dead, ever.

I'd give every penny back to have him here with me.

- What's going on? - Sara Hillman,

you're under arrest for the murder of Trevor Hillman.

- What?! OK. - You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be held against you.

What's going on?

Something's wrong with her, call it in!

This is Unit 4-14. I have a 10-52.

- Sara! - Subject in custody. Appears to be having a medical emergency.

Sara! SARA!

Paging Dr. Humphrey.

Paging Dr. Humphrey.

- Ashley! - Hi.

She's in surgery right now.

They're performing a coronary angioplasty.

Were you at her house when she collapsed?

Yeah. We'd just got back from seeing her lawyer.

It happened while she was being arrested.

Ashley,

don't you think that maybe

you need to put some distance between you and Sara?

Are you serious?

I can't just abandon her now!

Wait, but you said that if she was guilty...

We don't know that she's guilty. I mean, just because she was arrested doesn't...

Do you understand how much evidence police need

to get an arrest warrant? They obviously have something

substantial. It doesn't matter.

Look, I can't turn my back on her now.

The rest of the world, you guys can all do that,

but I'm not gonna do that to her!

She didn't mean it like that. I'll go talk to her.

Oh, thank you, Ben. Thank you.

That wasn't fair, what you said to them.

What's not fair is them asking me to bail on her.

She needs me now more than ever. I get that.

They're just worried about you. I'm worried about you.

I don't think she did this, Ben!

- Ashley, it's me.

- They finally gave me

permission to make a couple of calls.

Uh, that's OK. How are you doing?

- I feel OK.

Like, no major pain.

That's good. I... I tried to visit you

after surgery, but they wouldn't let me.

I know. The nurse told me.

Is there anyone you need me to contact for you? A lawyer?

No. I did. He's meeting me tomorrow.

I want you to know that I'm innocent, Ashley.

The police think that I did it but I...

I think it's Michael and Trevor, the clients of theirs.

Well, how do I find out more about them?

- Michael.

He said they're not involved

and there's no investigation going on.

Maybe Trevor has information on his files,

OK. Uh, how do I get

into the house without the key?

On that light on the front patio.

And how do I get onto his computer?

I don't know. Maybe Amy?

That's weird. I thought he'd have

- a password. - That was quick!

You always go through other people's computers? Amy, you scared me.

- What are you doing here? - Sara told me where the spare key was.

Doesn't answer my question! What are you doing here?

I'm just trying to find out who killed your father.

Wow! She really has you fooled, doesn't she?

Look, I know you think Sara did this, but I'm not so sure.

And I'm not just saying that because she's my mother.

I hate to say this,

but Sara had the most to gain, and I think she tried before.

What do you mean you think

she tried before? A couple of weeks ago,

after we went out to a restaurant,

a man with a gun tried to rob him.

My dad got the gun away from him and the guy ran off.

So you think she hired someone?

Well, from my understanding, the guy never approached Sara,

only my dad.

What about the other night when someone tried to break in to your uncle's apartment?

I mean, that has to have something to do with this!

Random coincidence, or maybe Michael imagined it

in one of his episodes. He drinks a lot, Ashley.

Ever since his wife left him, he goes through a bottle a night.

My dad kept trying to get him to go to rehab, but he wouldn't.

Or...

it's part of Sara's plan to try and get the cops off her tail.

- Can I help you? - I have a warrant

to do an additional search of the premises.

I'm sorry. What's going on?

Could you wait for us outside, please?

Uh...

I understand, but we can only do that

if you maintain a balance in your money-market account. Thank you.

Once the transfer's gone through, it shouldn't be

a problem. Of course.

You're welcome.

Oh, my God!

Thank you so much for coming. Of course.

What's going on? I don't know exactly.

But I overheard and...

I think they found a knife with dried blood on it.

Wait, in the house? How come they didn't find that before?

Apparently, it was in a hidden cupboard or something.

Wherever it was, they must not have searched there the first time.

What set all this off:

The search warrant or Sara's arrest yesterday?

I didn't catch all of it, but it sounded

like they got an anonymous tip from someone that Sara threw out

a bloody nightgown in the trash in the middle of the night.

Babe, I hate to say this,

but it's really starting to sound like she's guilty.

You hired a private investigator to run a background check on Sara?

She did it right after you found her.

I just wanted to make sure there is nothing about her you needed protection from.

There's quite a bit in there:

Previous addresses, employment history, vital records.

There's a lot you don't know about her.

I know.

I lied about a lot of things. You lied

about almost everything.

And what you didn't lie about, you completely made up.

Yeah, I know.

Why? Why would you do that to me?

I came to you wanting to know who you were,

what your life was like...

why you gave me up.

I couldn't tell you the truth:

That when I got pregnant with you, I was an escort,

that I don't know who your real dad is...

that I'd been arrested six times

and I was a drug addict.

I was so happy when you found me

and I just figured...

I figured if you knew any of that,

you would have walked away and never contacted me again.

So you basically made up a person that didn't exist.

No. I let you into my life the way it is now.

I went to rehab and I met a guy there,

and he helped me turn my life around.

And a year later, I met Trevor.

- That is such a load of crap! - Hey, you know what?

You wanna know the truth about me?

I'll tell you the truth.

I was not a good person, Ashley.

I used people.

I wasted every opportunity that was given to me.

I drank a lot and I did

a lot of drugs.

But you know what?

I am not that person anymore.

I am a completely different person.

OK.

I need you to be honest with me, for once.

Did you kill Trevor?

No.

Then why would you throw away a nightgown with blood on it?

I don't know! I didn't!

I didn't!

I don't even leave the house at night!

Whoever called in that tip must have put it there!

Somebody is trying to frame me!

Don't give up on me.

Please, I need you.

My lawyer doesn't think I'm gonna make bail.

Why not?

Because a few years ago, I skipped out

when I was arrested for shoplifting.

- Geez. - My hearing is

the day after tomorrow at 2 p.m.

Will you be there?

I don't know.

Can you...?

- Amy? - You weren't answering

my texts. I got worried.

It's been a rough 48 hours. Come on in.

I wanna believe she's innocent,

but, honestly, I'm not so sure anymore.

And just lied

about so many things.

I know this is gonna sound crazy,

but I think Sara's right.

Someone's trying to frame her.

- Why would you say that? - The knife they found,

it was in a hidden cupboard. OK...

I don't think that Sara even knows that cupboard exists.

But more importantly,

the knife was not there two days ago.

And how do you know this?

The night that we both ended up there at the same time,

I looked in the cupboard,

and it wasn't there. Nothing was.

And then it magically appeared the following day.

Why were you looking in there?

I was looking for something

that my dad would have wanted to keep hidden from Sara:

Threatening letters, legal papers,

I don't know.

My dad used to hide gifts for my mom there

when she was still alive.

I didn't really expect to find anything but I...

I figured it was worth a shot.

- And is there anyone else who knows about it? - Not sure,

but the killer obviously knew the layout of the house.

Amy, you have to go to the police with this.

I don't know how receptive they'll be.

They think they have their person.

We need something concrete. OK. Let's start by making

a list of everyone that went in and out of the house.

The housekeeper, she wouldn't have anything to do with this.

The police, although I don't know

why they would want to frame your mother.

Michael?

Possibly.

He did use to house sit for them from time to time.

You...

You think I could have killed my father?!

- No. I'm just saying you had access. - I loved my father!

He wasn't always a good person,

but he was always good to me and he did not deserve

what happened to him! Look,

I know it's no secret that I don't like Sara,

but I do not wanna see

an innocent person go to prison

while the person who murdered my father is still out there!

Whoever did this needs to pay.

I'm sorry. I-I believe you. I...

I want the exact same thing that you do.

There is another possibility.

Who?

I'm pretty sure my father was having an affair.

I don't know who it was with,

but one day we were at a restaurant,

and he got a text from her while he was in the restroom.

I saw it come up on his phone.

So maybe her husband found out

or Trevor broke it off with her and she got jealous?

It's worth looking into.

How do we start?

So, basically, we're looking

for any hotel receipts

or any restaurant receipts where two people ate.

There's probably a million of them, but yes.

What about your uncle?

It seemed like they were pretty close.

Given that Kelsie was cheating on Michael,

I doubt my dad would have been likely to tell Michael

he was doing the same thing to Sara.

Yeah, you're probably right on that.

- Michael,

what are you doing here? [I need to see you.]

- No, you don't. Go home. - I just lost my brother.

For Christ's sake, have some compassion.

I am sorry about Trevor, but nothing good

is gonna come from us talking. Please, go home!

How could you do that to me?

How?

He was my brother.

I don't know what you're taking about. You're drunk!

[Two people I love the most, and you betray me like that?]

I did everything for you.

What are you talking about right now?

You know what I'm talking about. Did you really think I wouldn't find out?

In the world, you had to choose

my brother, my own brother!

[Everything]

That has happened has happened because of you!

It is all your fault.

What do you mean "everything"?

- I shouldn't be here. - Michael!

And another one from the same restaurant.

Again, always paid in cash.

And look, they all are between 7 and 8 p.m.

Let me see.

Now that's interesting.

It looks like these are all with the same person.

How do you know that?

Well, the pasta Alfredo was ordered every single time,

along with a glass of the same type of wine,

a Bellay Chardonnay.

Did your dad always eat the same thing?

No, and he hated pasta Alfredo.

See, there's a scotch and water on each of these.

That's what he ordered.

Ooh, can you pull up the calendar? Let's see what day

of the week these all fell on. OK.

Um... Thursday.

This one's Thursday too.

And a Tuesday, and another Thursday.

So almost always on a Thursday.

Tomorrow's a Thursday.

I can't believe none of the servers remember by father.

The hostess did say there were a lot of servers off tonight. And it doesn't exactly help

that they don't keep regular hours.

Hey, uh, excuse me. Have you ever seen this man before?

He comes in a lot on Thursday nights.

Yeah, of course. Uh, drives a Jag,

always comes with a lady with dark hair, good tipper.

And you say they come in together every Thursday?

Yeah. Well, no. They arrive separately,

but he always pays for her car too.

And what type of car does she drive?

A red SUV, leather interior.

Did he ever mention her name?

Look,

nobody's gonna know the information came from you.

You're not gonna get in trouble. The man in the photo,

it's my father, and I desperately need to know

more about the woman he was... he was dating.

I guess I'm not the only one with a complicated father.

Mine's been married four times.

Look, I don't know her name, but I know where she works.

- How? - There's a sticker, like a...

like a parking pass for employees on the windshield.

- Where from? - Truxton Medical Centre.

OK. Thank you so much.

Hey, what's wrong?

Do you know who it is?

It can't be.

So your dad was having an affair with Michael's wife,

his own sister-in-law? Sure seems that way.

You didn't see what kind of car Kelsie was driving

- at the funeral, did you? - No.

Let's go find out.

That looks like the car.

Let's go see if it has the sticker on it, OK?

OK.

Yep. That's the parking pass.

I can't believe that she would do this,

that he would do this to his own brother!

- I'm sorry. - Amy?

- What do we do now? - I guess we ask her if she was

sleeping with my father.

Your father. We would meet up once a week

on Thursday nights when Michael

was playing racquetball.

How long had the affair been going on?

Two, three years

before I told Michael I wanted a divorce,

that I was in love with someone else.

He asked me so many times who it was but, of course, I never told him.

Were you planning on being together?

Trevor would talk about it at times,

that he wanted to divorce Sara and marry me,

but I knew he wouldn't.

I was content with the little time I had with him.

I know it's hard to comprehend.

How could he do that to Michael?

But you don't know what it was like living with him.

He'd... disappear

for days at a time,

but that was better than when he came home drunk.

I was scared of him when he drank. He could be

angry and violent.

It was hell.

There's no other way to describe it,

and Trevor could understand that.

One of the first reasons I started seeing him alone

was to get advice on how to deal with his brother.

How could you come between two brothers like that?

Dad and Michael were so close.

Between them? Michael despised Trevor.

Trevor brought him down every chance he got,

embarrassed him all the time.

Michael gave him plenty of reason to.

Your father constantly had to fix Michael's screw-ups.

Did Michael ever find out about the affair?

I didn't realize he had,

- but I think so. - When?

I don't know.

Wait. I'm confused. How did you know that he knew?

I'm not sure exactly.

But you are sure.

There's something you're not telling us.

- No, I'm not! - Please.

An innocent woman is sitting in prison right now

for something she didn't do.

If you believe that Michael could have anything to do

with Trevor's murder, you need to tell us.

I miss your father.

I miss him

just as much as anyone else does. It's my fault.

If we hadn't had the affair,

Trevor would still be alive. What do you mean?

He didn't say it outright, but...

I got a sense that he's the one who did it.

OK. You need to tell us exactly what he said.

Kelsie, you need to go to the police with this.

No. I've caused Michael enough pain.

I just want all of this to go away.

Kelsie, we're talking about the man that you loved!

Don't you want to see my father's murder solved?

Of course! But if the police find evidence

and a reason to arrest him, it won't be because of me.

Well, what about doing the right thing?

Legally, I'm still married to Michael

and I don't have to testify against my husband!

There's nothing to say to make me change my mind!

She believes he did it.

Yeah, but you heard her. She refuses to go to the police.

Besides, what he said wasn't exactly a confession.

Then we need to find proof of the affair.

It gives Michael motive. Come on.

Yeah, we have a problem.

Cheers.

What's so urgent?

I think Sara's daughter's onto us.

What makes you think that?

She and Amy were over at Kelsie's.

How do you know that? Kelsie told you?

No. I, uh... I saw them there.

You were at Kelsie's?

No. Yes,

but I... I just wanted to make sure

she was alone, OK? She didn't know I was there.

Whatever, man. It's not important.

The point is they were there, both of them together,

probably asking questions about me.

So what? Kelsie doesn't know anything, does she?

Does she? No. But if Ashley thinks

that Sara is innocent and if they keep digging around...

They won't find anything.

What if they do?

What if you made a mistake?

I didn't. And if you're thinking of bringing up

what happened in the alley, don't.

No one would predict that your brother

would jump me when I had a gun.

So did they find anything or not?

Not yet.

But I've known Amy her whole life and she is smart.

Does Kelsie know something or not?

No.

You need to stop. The more you drink,

the more of a liability you are to both of us.

You're calling the shots now?

Yeah. It's my neck

that's on the line if you get wasted

and whine to the wrong person about that affair.

Go up to your cabin and dry out for a few days.

Burn all those stupid photos

of Trevor with your wife

and get a... damned grip.

You hear me?

Kelsie told you that?

That she thinks Michael hired someone

and that she and Trevor were sleeping together?

I am so sorry

that we didn't believe you before,

but we both believe you now.

Look, Sara,

obviously Michael is trying to frame you.

We think that if we can go to the police

with proof of the affair, then maybe they can

convince Kelsie to talk. Or at the very least,

just dig a little deeper into his finances

and see if he could have hired someone.

I always wondered if Trevor was being unfaithful.

I used to call his hotel room late at night

and he wouldn't pick up the phone.

He always made it seem

like the pills were making me paranoid.

Makes sense it was Kelsie.

Is there anything you can think that could help us

prove to the cops that they were sleeping together?

No.

I think he was quite successful

at hiding his affair. Maybe going

through Dad's credit cards could yield something:

Hotel stays, gifts. Listen to me.

If Michael is capable

of hiring somebody to murder his brother

and framing me,

he is way more dangerous than I imagined.

I'm worried you two are in over your heads.

If the police won't dig until they uncover the truth,

then Amy and I will.

There's nothing here.

Kelsie said the affair went back three years, so...

maybe we just need to check his phone records from back then.

Hey, babe.

Sara's just on the news. Look at Channel 7

[on your phone.] - What? Why?

She pled guilty to Trevor's murder. ♪♪♪

But seriously, why would she plead guilty?

Sara's just trying to protect you.

It's probably the most selfless thing she's ever done.

I'm not saying Sara did the right thing,

but what you two are doing is very risky.

But now she's screwed.

And that's why we need your help.

My help?

A cheque from Trevor to Michael?

Where did you get this?

We found it when we were going through my dad's stuff.

It wasn't uncommon for him to give Michael loans.

And if you look at the back, it has his account number

and bank. He banks at Western National.

Oh, no, Ashley, absolutely not.

If you were to just check and see if there was

any transfers or withdrawals... I am not gonna put

my career at risk for something that probably won't yield anything useful anyway.

And, sweetie, if Michael's smart, and it seems

like he is, I mean, he's not gonna hire someone

to murder his brother, then pay him

with a wire transfer. We don't know

what you'll find. I'm just saying

even the smallest thing could be helpful.

- The answer is no. - I mean, even Amy, who has

literally every reason to side with Michael

over the stepmother she can't stand, agrees.

I know you don't want me involved in all of this,

but I am.

And, yes, it's because she's my biological mom,

but I can't just sit back

and let some innocent woman spend the rest of her life

in prison for a murder she didn't commit.

You're asking me to break the law.

No. I am just asking you to look.

Please?

I know it's Michael.

I know it's him.

OK. But if I don't find

anything suspicious in his account,

will you two just drop this whole thing and let

Sara's attorney worry about getting her off?

- Probably not. - I didn't think so.

I can't believe I'm doing this.

Now that's interesting.

So no cash withdrawals or transfers?

No, but those are payments he made to a mortgage company

called Super Term Loans. I did some research.

It's for a cabin up in Chambersburg.

- And you think this could be important somehow? - I don't know.

But it's interesting that Kelsie's name was never

on the loan. Remember when she said

Michael would disappear for days at a time. Maybe this is

where he goes. Did your dad know about it?

I doubt it. He would have mentioned it.

If he's hiding evidence of the murder,

or the affair, or even of hiring the hit,

there's a better chance that it's there

than in his apartment here in Philly.

What do you think?

I think it's time for a road trip.

The address is in there. Promise me

you'll both be careful.

- This is it. - Let's go check it out.

Amy, his phone's on the table. I think he's here.

We should really get going. Oh, my God!

What are you doing here?

We... we were worried about you.

Kelsie thought we should check up on you,

just with the stress of losing your brother

and the divorce and the drinking.

- How do you know about this place? - Uh, we...

- How did you find this place? - I, um... We just...

What are you really doing here?

This is all you, isn't it? Michael, Michael...

- Michael, no! - Yeah.

- Yeah, it is. - Please.

Michael, put the gun down.

- Yes, Michael, please. - You think that I killed Trevor

so you show up here trying to find evidence. Not true.

- Just put the gun down. - Yeah, it is.

- It's not true. - Michael? Michael, just put the gun down!

Not a chance! I am not letting this little bitch

take me down. Not ever. Just put the gun down.

Michael, please, just give me the gun!

Michael?

I see him! I think

he's running away! Oh, my God! Michael! Michael!

Call an ambulance!

- Ohhh... son of a bitch! - [911. What's your emergency?]

My uncle has just been shot. We're at his cabin.

It's at, uh, 712 Waverly Lane.

About 3 miles off the highway!

No. Just send an ambulance! Please hurry!

- It's no use. They're never gonna be in time. - That's not true, Michael!

Tell them it's a sucking chest wound

about a quarter inch in diameter! Amy, grab me

a trash bag, a plastic bag, anything, OK?

Amy, hurry! Sucking chest sound about a quarter inch in diameter.

- Come on, Amy!

- Michael, you're gonna be OK. - Who shot you?

Tell us, Michael, who shot you? Please, tell us!

- What?

- James Wilson. James Wilson. - What?

Why? Why would he want to kill you?

Because he thinks I'm...

He thinks I'll talk. Is he the one

- who murdered my father? - Yes.

Yeah. And I'm the only one who knows the...

the only one who could rat him out.

How do you know he murdered Trevor?

'Cause I hired him. I hired him.

What?

After years of your dad talking to me

like an idiot and treating me

like I was some kind of moron.

He took the only thing that I ever loved so...

We know. We know about the affair.

It was supposed to happen the night

we all went out for dinner,

but James messed up

and, yeah... So I gave him

the code to the alarm system

and... and told him to do it at the house.

I thought that it would be harder to frame Sara,

but...

it... it really wasn't.

- Oh!

Go, go.

Please, just go. No, Michael. I can save your life.

My life is over.

Please...

I won't be able to speak in a couple of minutes.

Just let me say what I have to say.

Trevor... Trevor was... He was the good-looking one

and the smart one,

the one everybody liked.

When...

when we went into business together,

I thought things would change but...

that I could show him that I-I could... I could do

just as well as he could. But he kept talking to me

like I was a charity case...

...like I was

the idiot brother.

So when I found out that he was

sleeping with Kelsie...

and that she loved him,

I couldn't take it.

I knew James

from some friends years earlier,

and... and when he got

out of prison, I gave him a call.

Amy...

Amy...

I am so sorry.

I had... I had no right

to take your father away from you.

And I had no right to do

what I did to Sara.

She was always good to me.

I'm so sorry.

Can you please tell Sara that I am sorry?

And...

tell, tell Kelsie that I-I never stopped...

I never stopped loving her.

Ashley.

Detective? Hi.

I'm just waiting for them to release my mom.

Good.

Um, I'm sorry.

We got this one wrong.

- I know. - If it's

any consolation, we were able to apprehend James Wilson

about an hour ago trying to cross into Mexico.

Oh, thank God! That's... that's great news!

- Ashley! - Mom!

Mom, hi!

Thank you so much for all you've done for me.

It wasn't just me, Mom. Amy was there the whole time.

We just knew we had to find out the truth.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

- Thank you. - Let's go.
