1 Previously on "The Watchful Eye"...

Mrs. Ivey... she's not a legitimate heir.

I'm gonna tell her what I know, and then her and I

are gonna take a trip down to her private bank on 5th Avenue.

- Stop crying. - I can hear her, too.

I've seen your mother.

Morgan?

Thanks.

All I know is that she was unraveling, and her family...

they didn't believe her.

They just wanted the problem to be gone.

They have this hatchet-faced lawyer on retainer,

and he just takes out the trash.

I just found out that the Greybournes

spy on their employees.

But James doesn't work for us anymore.

He was incredibly unreliable.

Okay, that looks like an envelope full of cash.

Alex?

Found out about the whole con she has going on,

but here's the twist.

She doesn't want to finish it.

I have a favor I need to ask you.

Everyone else exists for the Greybournes' purposes.

See, now, if I was still your boss,

I would say we shouldn't do this.

What's happening?

Mr. Ward, you're under arrest

for the murder of Alice Greybourne Ward.

Scott! What the hell?

All right, let's go.

Scott?

Oh, my God.

Tory, it's fine. It's a mistake, okay?

Call Marcato.

- Dad! - Oh, no.

- Dad! - Jas!

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

Come back!

- Hey, I'm gonna be right back. It's okay. It's okay. - No!

Dad!

Jasper.

It's okay. You're gonna be okay. He's gonna be okay.

Let me out!

James, you absolute psycho!

I have a lot of friends, and they're gonna know!

You're never gonna get away with this!

James!

Alice Greybourne Ward.

You know, if I had a pretty name like that,

I would definitely order some classy stationary like this.

I mean, look at that. That is just beautiful.

That's some real private school penmanship right there.

You recognize that?

Guy from a small midwestern town just happens to

marry into one of the richest real estate development families

in New York. I want you to tell me something.

Was it true love?

Because you know what? I bet it was. I do.

I mean, before you wanted to divorce her.

Let's see what the love of your life had to say about you.

"If you're reading this, I'm likely dead.

No one believes me, but Matthew will kill to get what he wants.

Every day, I live in fear of what my husband will do to me."

You have any comments? Questions?

Yeah, one question.

Shoot.

How do you know my nanny?

We met during the investigation into Mr. Malo's death.

Hmm.

Tory asked for you.

... page six. That's all I care about.

There's nothing to print, since he didn't do it.

I'm sorry.

Am I the only one who thinks that?

NYPD doesn't make an arrest like this on a hunch.

They must have something. Something real.

On Matthew? You know him.

He married into this family. He's obviously a psychopath.

Read the room, Trip.

Tory, it's okay. Let's... Let's stay calm.

Stay calm?

Do any of you care about how much

this is gonna traumatize Jasper?

He cannot lose his father, too.

Pull yourself together, Victoria.

Our only priority is and always will be

protecting the family's name and reputation.

Tory asked to see me?

This all came out of the blue.

Did you see anything or hear anything?

No. Nothing.

Ah, Vic.

Thank you for coming.

Don't thank me yet.

Hey.

Charlotte.

Hi.

Victor Marcato.

This is Jasper's nanny, Elena.

Sure.

Okay, we need to circle the wagons.

Yes, this way, please. Would you kindly excuse us?

- It's family business. - I'll see you out.

I know we have a deal, but you must understand,

I can't possibly take out a large withdrawal

on a day like today.

No.

You could hand over the document in question

as a show of good faith.

Mrs. Ivey, I don't think...

Charlotte, we need you!

I have to go back.

I'm sure we'll talk soon.

Teo?

You decent?

Where are you?

I'm getting an egg and cheese.

- Come meet me. - I can't.

Matthew got arrested this morning.

What?

Lena, what happened?

I'll tell you when you get here.

No, come meet me.

You gotta get out of that building.

What?

I'm sending you a pin now.

Okay. Let me change and I'll meet you.

Like I said before, I need this phone line clear for tenants.

"No comment" doesn't mean I want to talk more.

It means "no comment".

Please stop calling.

The Greybourne. No comment!

Fernanda, let me call you back.

Yeah?

It's all happening.

My friends are so excited to meet you,

and we will finally get to be together

without having to sneak around so Tory doesn't see us.

What?

No, nothing.

It's just... the situation with Matthew.

It's pretty messed up.

It is.

Feels weird leaving now.

Why?

Look, we can't help Matthew.

I-I mean, are we defense attorneys?

And are we just gonna sit here and stare at each other

in Tory's apartment until we all die of anxiety?

Listen, this building and everyone in it is toxic,

and we can't let other people's problems just, like, consume us.

I just want to be somewhere else with you.

Me, too.

You're right. Screw it.

Let's get out of here.

Let's go to Miami.

Um, thank you so much for helping me with that, um...

DoorDash order, Roman.

You're quite welcome, Ms. Ayres.

Anytime.

Using your son as human bait?

Clever.

Where's Teo?

He's safe. Don't worry.

He just wants us all to be together.

I'll cut to the chase.

I know all about your plan to blackmail Charlotte Ivey.

I want in.

I'm not doing it.

Oh, yes, you are.

And whatever you were gonna ask for, I'm getting half.

Yeah.

And why would I do that?

'Cause otherwise, I take Teo,

and you never see me or your sweet brother ever again.

Don't worry.

It won't be too hard to get me what I want.

You're a born crook.

Are you kidding me?

Just doing my job, ma'am.

I want to see Matthew.

Well, you know you can't do that.

Only family members and lawyers.

Sorry, but side pieces don't really count.

I'm here in loco parentis for Jasper Ward.

It's important that I speak to his father

regarding the terms of his care.

The child is traumatized

from seeing his father being dragged away in handcuffs.

Hey.

Look, I didn't mean for the kid to see all that.

- Yeah. - Okay?

Fine.

You can have two minutes.

Okay if I come in?

Yeah, I'm not really a part of that decision, so...

How's Jasper?

He's okay.

Confused.

He's with Tory and Darcy right now.

This is like a nightmare.

I can't wake up.

I didn't kill Allie.

I know.

I wasn't even there. This is insane.

They... They found some kind of a note.

A suicide note?

A note that said if something happened to her, that I did it.

That she was... She was scared of me.

What?

It was in her handwriting and on her stationary.

I can't believe this is happening.

Someone's... someone's obviously framing you.

Yeah.

Hey, you know that Jasper means the world to me.

I will do everything that I can to get him back to you.

Well, I'm, uh... I'm at the mercy of the system, aren't I?

Is there anything you want me to tell Jasper?

Just that I'm sorry.

Hooking up with the boss...

just a little cliché, don't you think?

Hmm?

What, you got nothing to say?

Am I being interrogated?

You know what, maybe you should be.

You could be an accessory, for all I know.

Oh, I am.

To you.

Tell me something.

How long has this been going on?

The entire time?

Not that I have to justify myself to you,

but I never cheated.

You and I aren't together,

so who I spend my time with is my choice.

Is that why you arrested a man for murder?

Huh? 'Cause you're jealous?

No, we arrested him because we believe he killed his wife.

You know I can't protect you from here on out, right?

If you're this close, there's nothing I can do

if you end up as collateral damage.

Collateral damage, huh?

Hey.

You do not want me as an enemy.

I'll take my chances.

Guten tag. How are you?

Hey. Have you heard from Alex today?

No. Why?

They didn't show up to relieve the night nanny.

Our bosses are pissed, but now they're worried too.

Alex isn't answering any of their calls or texts.

Okay. Yeah, that's definitely weird.

Yeah, and you haven't heard the weirdest part.

Alex and I have location sharing on, so I checked.

Their phone has been at James' since yesterday,

and after what you two discovered about him...

Uh, I'll go.

I'll... I'll go right now.

Don't go alone, okay? Bring Roman or someone.

I'll be home later today.

You're coming back?

Bosses said I could take the jet to New York.

I'll be home in a few hours.

Okay.

Uh, bummer of a reason, but, uh,

I'm... I'm excited to see you.

What?

Elenita. How's our plan coming?

It's not our plan, and there's been an unexpected delay.

What kind of delay?

Family emergency.

Ivey won't pay until the dust settles.

Yeah, that's not gonna work for me.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means you better find someone

to pay for that birth certificate.

I don't care who.

Shouldn't be that hard. It's worth a fortune.

Ronnie, it doesn't work like that.

I can't just shop it around.

I guess you better figure something out.

Your brother misses you.

Hey.

Don't scream.

James? What...

Ow.

It's just a bump.

You're all right.

I am not all right.

Is someone there?!

Help! Help me! I'm trapped in here!

Alex?

Elena?

Be careful! He's got a gun!

I told you to be quiet!

You've ruined the surprise now.

Alex is here.

Why is Alex locked in there?

If they hadn't been snooping around,

I wouldn't have had to put them in there.

Just like if you had just minded your own business,

you wouldn't be here.

Your fault, not mine.

The psychopath has your phone, and Morgan's!

Why do you have Morgan's phone?

Did you take my phone at the gala?

You're working for the Greybournes.

Did you kill Morgan?

Uh, Morgan's in Topeka.

Yeah.

She has a new name and a new life.

She's fine.

I bet you someone misses her.

Yeah?

Well, maybe she shouldn't have

gotten so close to Allie Ward then.

Maybe she shouldn't have also

come running her mouth off to me,

serving up big secrets on a big silver platter.

That's how I got my foot in the door.

These rich people, they do pay handsomely

to protect their secrets, don't they?

Okay. Okay.

That's fine. Just stay.

Just put that down, okay?

Just... shh! Shh, all right?

One word.

One bullet, yeah?

Okay.

James! Hey, you're home.

Uh, you got a sec?

Yeah, G-Ginny. I just, um...

Elena!

- Where are they? - In the bathroom!

- Elena! - Alex?

What is going on? Elena?

Ginny?

Hold on!

- Let me out! - Okay, come out!

Hi.

Wait, wait, Alex.

It's okay! Alex, it's okay.

Guys, I can explain.

One more move and I end you!

What is Otis Winthrop paying you to do?

Only what he's too delicate to do himself.

Like beating up Dick Ayres?

He wanted him dead, okay?

I saved his life.

Ol' Dick should be thanking me for saving him.

Yes, hello. I would like to report an assault.

- Ginny, come on. - My friend was being held captive

- by an armed and violent man. - Don't do that.

Hang up.

- Hang up! - Hey!

Guys, come on. You think that blackout was a coincidence?

Huh? Come on.

I set that up so we could put him back,

give him back to his family.

Oh, what a gentleman.

Why did you take my phone at the gala?

Because you were poking around too much.

They Greybournes didn't like it.

So, it was you who sent the texts threatening

me, my friends, my brother?

Yeah.

It was supposed to scare you off.

But no,

we had to all go and become amateur detectives, didn't we?

Did you kill Allie Ward?

No.

- Liar. - Mm.

I didn't.

I wasn't even working for them yet.

I'll tell you what I know. I'll tell you.

All I know is that Mrs. Ivey

wanted Allie out of the way, okay?

Kind of like how she wants you out of the way, Elena.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, she told me to get rid of you

before you become an even bigger problem.

And whatever you think you're gonna get from her, you won't.

She'll make sure of it, just like she did with Allie, okay?

You're a smart girl, Elena.

She's smarter.

We're gonna get you out of here.

DA's office is operating on some flimsy evidence.

But there are some terms for your release.

Like an ankle monitor?

No. Terms from the family.

Family?

Winthrop.

You need to give up your proxy seat on the board.

Fine. Yeah.

I'll be happy to get rid of the obligation.

Tell you what,

I'll get the hell out of New York altogether.

I'll take Jasper, we'll go back to Indiana...

No, see, that's the other condition.

Well, you didn't say there was two.

Jasper is still the only heir

to a majority share of the corporation.

All of the shares will filter down to him eventually.

No, the family requires that he stay in the city

until he reaches legal age and can take his seat.

This is exactly why I don't want him around these people.

They are trying to control his life

before he's even old enough to make a decision for himself.

Those are the terms.

Oh, yeah.

Now, they may sound like limitations,

but at least he'll have one parent left to support him.

The alternative?

Well, it's not really an alternative, is it?

No.

Don't be short-sighted. I can help.

Oh, you're not trying to help me.

See, no one in this family has my back,

or this would not be the only offer on the table.

I'm not about to sell out my son to save my own ass.

See, I know I didn't do this,

so I'm getting myself out.

I'll let Otis know your decision.

I'm sorry about this, Matthew.

Yeah.

I need to talk to you.

I have nothing to say to you.

Tory. Please.

Are you alone?

Yes.

I am.

All alone.

I meant, is anyone else here?

No.

Just say what you want to say.

Haven't you always suspected that

there was something off about Allie's death?

That she didn't seem suicidal to you?

It was my fault. I wasn't paying attention.

I missed the signs.

I seem to be missing a lot of signs lately.

Maybe you missed the signs because they weren't there.

Hmm.

Matthew didn't do this. You know as well as I do.

I don't know what to believe anymore.

Are you sleeping with him?

You were wearing his shirt this morning,

and... and now you're here defending him

because you're sleeping together.

Unbelievable.

You should leave. Now.

I know who was responsible for Allie's death.

And it wasn't Matthew.

And I'll tell you, but we need to put a deal in place.

Oh, God.

Of course.

Someone killed my sister, and you're hustling me.

Why... Why am I not surprised?

I'm only looking out for myself and my family.

And you have no reason to trust me

and you don't even have to like me,

but if you want to get Matthew out

and bring the real killer to justice,

this is how it has to go.

- How much? - $5 million.

Fine.

$5 million.

Allie was trying to persuade Mrs. Ivey

to open up the trust to include a branch

of the family that was cut off years ago.

But Mrs. Ivey didn't want that to happen,

so she arranged for Allie to be "taken care of".

Taken care of?

Aunt Charlotte.

Yes.

She didn't want Allie poking around

because there's a secret that Mrs. Ivey

doesn't want anyone to know about.

The Greybourne trust indicates that only children

from both Alistair and Iris can inherit from the estate,

but Iris isn't Charlotte's birth mother,

and her real birth name is Ruby,

and her real mother was the family's nanny, Jocelyn.

Wow.

Yeah.

The irony isn't lost on me either.

Why should I believe you?

How do you know all this?

I did a lot of research, and I found her real

birth certificate hidden here, at the Greybourne.

Aunt Charlotte always said people would do terrible things

to get their hands on a fortune.

Mrs. Ivey has done terrible things

to keep her hands on a fortune that doesn't even belong to her.

She couldn't have done it herself.

Killed Allie.

S-someone helped her.

You could check the cameras.

What cameras?

The surveillance cameras in Matthew's apartment.

No idea what you're talking about.

Then how did you know that Ginny and I were in Allie's closet?

What? I told you.

Well, if they're not yours, then they must be Mrs. Ivey's.

I-I can't imagine.

But 24 hours ago, I couldn't have imagined any of this,

so I guess I don't have a very good imagination.

Where's the birth certificate now?

It's in a safe place.

And I'll give it to you, as soon as you have the money.

You can see yourself out.

Found a way to get you the money.

Go on.

On one condition.

Teo is mine, and you stay out of our lives.

Permanently.

Okay.

Sorry, did you want me to wrestle with that for longer?

How could you do this to me,

I'll never let that happen, et cetera?

Don't pretend we're not just alike, Elena.

No, we're nothing alike, Ronnie,

because I would never trade away my family like you just did.

Finished logging his phone calls.

His phone calls?

The calls you asked for from Ward's phone?

I've been logging them since he become a suspect

and logging all calls related

to his personal and professional network.

His professional network?

You do know this guy's just an architect, right?

Just the people he talks to every day.

Has he talked yet?

No.

Elenita.

How's our plan coming?

It's not our plan,

and there's been an unexpected delay.

What kind of delay?

Family emergency.

Ivey won't pay until the dust settles.

Yeah, that's not gonna work for me.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means you better find someone to pay

for that birth certificate.

I don't care who.

Shouldn't be that hard.

It's worth a fortune.

Goodness, Tory.

Lurking in corners.

You'll send me to an early grave.

I don't think it's early anymore.

I guess it's never too soon for maudlin jokes.

Hmm.

Allie wanted to open the family trust and you didn't approve.

The red tape can be so tedious.

Mm.

And it would require an evaluation of the legitimacy

of everyone already on it.

There's only so much of the pie.

You wouldn't want to give yours up,

especially since you weren't supposed to have it

in the first place, right?

I cannot follow your circuitous logic.

Just say what you came to say.

You killed my sister.

I may not have been legal guardian of the year,

but I'm not "Mommie Dearest".

I didn't kill anyone.

Well, you may not have gotten blood on your hands,

but you wanted her gone.

Why?

Because you were afraid she might discover

that you were illegitimate?

I didn't kill your sister.

I never wanted to kill your sister.

But when that dolt of a husband of yours

got involved, things went sideways.

Dick?

I asked him to persuade her to drop the matter,

and he went to the extreme.

No. He... He's my husband.

He couldn't...

Dick wanted a seat on that board so badly.

I did love Allie.

I tried to reason with her,

but she didn't know the whole story.

She had no idea how much it would be disruptive

if my position were to change.

Sweetheart, I'm so sorry.

Stay away from me.

Are you quite happy with yourself?

I'm ashamed of you, Ruby.

Don't call me that.

My name is Charlotte.

My mother was Iris, not you.

I died trying to protect you, and you still reject me.

Living for the Greybourne name...

it's just another death.

I wanted Elena to show you.

She found the proof of what you have always disbelieved.

I'm not your daughter.

I just can't believe that happened.

I can't believe I let that happen.

You didn't let anything happen.

I'm just glad we got to you before he did anything.

I'm gonna lay off cisgendered men for a while.

All good.

Probably just the delivery person.

Special delivery.

- And some delicious food. - No.

No!

You're here! My God!

How? How are you here?

They let me take the jet.

- They did? - Mm-hmm.

God, rich people sometimes.

Well, they have a heart of gold under all that...

gold.

Hey.

So, what did I miss?

Other than a little light kidnapping?

Anyone see any good movies?

Guys, I think we should talk about Elena.

Hand it over, Elena.

What are you doing here?

- How did you... - The guard is taking his 10.

I know what that is.

I know what it means, and I know how much it's worth.

How did you find out?

What can I say?

- I'm a good detective. - Right.

So, how did you find out?

Wiretapped your phone.

And before you go off and say anything, yes, it's legal.

Matthew Ward is under investigation for murder,

and you're the nanny he's sleeping with, so...

Oh, screw you, Scott.

Who brought you into this in the first place?

Now, hand it over, or I'll have you arrested.

I haven't done anything.

Yeah, that's not what you said nine months ago,

when you ratted out your mom. You remember that?

Burglary, fraud, extortion.

I mean, with everything you and your mom had going on,

I could have you arrested for racketeering

if I felt like it, and you know what?

I'm kind of starting to feel like it.

So, why don't you just hand it over?

I hate you.

Yeah, love you, too.

- Hi. - Hi.

- I got your... - Did you get my note?

- Sorry. - Yeah.

- You go. - Cool.

I just wanted to check in.

I mean, you've been ignoring all my texts,

so I went analog.

You don't look so good.

Thank you.

Is something wrong?

I mean, besides everything?

Everything's fine.

'Cause when I went into your attic room to write the note,

I-I saw some papers in your trash.

- You went in my trash? - On accident.

And it looked like you were practicing writing Allie's name?

Darcy, if something's up, you can tell me.

I know things have been weird, but you can trust me.

I really, really like you.

Oh, Elliott.

You sweet, naive, little idiot.

I was using you, you know?

Darcy?

I was bored.

Summer is so boring.

Why else would someone like me be with someone like you?

You can't... You can't be serious.

Your mom was right about me.

I am a bad person, and you should stay far, far away.

- Hi. - Hey.

Are you gonna change?

- No, let's just go. - Okay.

I was a little surprised

to get your call, Detective.

Have a seat.

I have to say, this is a pretty cool ship that you've built.

What are you gonna name her?

Every ship needs a name.

Sailors think it's good luck.

How about... How about we name her Peppa?

Peppa Pirata.

Hmm.

Hey.

I made you the most delicious raspberry Hemp Mylk smoothie

from Gwyneth's new book.

Try.

- That's pretty good. - Hmm.

You've barely eaten in days.

You should finish it.

- It is pretty good. - Mm-hmm.

A little tangy, but thank you.

Oh, uh, there was one more thing I wanted to ask you.

Did you kill my sister?

What?

Did you kill my sister and make it look like

she took her own life?

No. Tory, what is this?

Some kind of ambush?

I was with you the night Allie died.

Except for... for when you weren't.

You had that medical emergency, remember?

You wanted to get in Aunt Charlotte's good graces,

and she needed someone to "take care" of my sister,

get her to stop poking around, finding out things

that she didn't want people to know about the family.

Am I getting warmer?

Tory...

What is in that smoothie?

Oh.

Nothing special.

A little tannis root.

Couple other things that may not agree with you.

Luckily for you,

you left your prescription pad lying around,

and I do have an antidote.

But you better talk quick.

She wasn't supposed to die.

I just wanted to scare her.

I gave her some meds.

I said it was for her anxiety,

and it would cause delusions

and she'd see things and... and, uh, hear things, and...

It would just undermine her credibility.

And I thought she'd get sent away

to a-a mental health facility.

The drugs caused suicidal thoughts,

but I did not think...

I was there when she jumped, and I didn't stop her.

And I looked down, and Hector saw me,

and I paid him off for months.

And then he wanted more.

After one body, two was easier than you think.

Aunt Charlotte said I went too far and I was messy,

and I was, but what was done was done, and...

and then that nanny came and started poking around,

and I knew you were gonna give her a drug test.

So, I laced a joint with the same stuff I gave Allie,

and I thought she'd fail the test and you'd fire her,

but she's got nine lives.

Unlike you.

I swear to God, Tory, I didn't mean to kill her.

Tory, I beg you.

Tory.

Oh, God.

Mm.

What the hell, Tory?

I was doing you a favor.

A favor?

You hated Allie.

She was the pretty one.

She was the one everyone loved.

She was the one Matthew chose,

and you were so jealous of her always.

You said you hated her.

And some stroke of dumb luck, they think Matthew did it,

and he's going away for life.

A-And I'm home free.

And it's just you and me.

I did it for us.

For you.

That's how much I love you.

I'm sorry I killed your sister,

but look at everything we're getting in return.

It was worth it.

I'd do it again.

Aah!

She was my sister! My only sister!

Aah!

Tory.

"Allie, Allie, Allie."

So, what is this?

I was leaving Darcy a note in her attic room,

and I saw that in her trash.

Elliott...

Okay, I didn't know who else to tell.

I don't know what it means, but it gave me a bad, bad feeling.

The police have a note from Allie implicating Matthew.

There's only one person Darcy would do this to protect.

Oh, my God. I have to tell Tory.

Tory?

We're gonna need a shovel.
