[Cass] My favorite time of year

is when summer finally gives way to autumn.

The falling leaves seem to remind us

that the only constant is change.

So trust the journey, both good and bad.

Because all of it takes you where you're going next.

And I guess what happened is a part of that.

[crow slams into window]

Whether 'tis noble in the mind

to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune

or to take arms against a sea of troubles

and by opposing end them.

[students applauding]

[Cass] Very nice, Andrew.

And that was the last monologue of the term.

Everyone have a great break.

[chairs shuffling]

[students chattering]

Mrs. Anderson?

This has been my best class.

Thank you, Andrew. I'm so glad you liked it.

[students chattering]

Hey, Mrs. Anderson, any special plans?

[Cass chuckles]

Not really.

We're redoing our house.

Always fun stuff to do with that.

May I ask you a question I've always wondered about?

What have you always wondered about?

Is your husband also American?

He's half British like me. We're expats.

So is my best friend actually.

She is?

She is.

Our moms were best friends who both married Brits.

What does your husband do?

[Cass chuckles]

You're a very curious young man.

Hi, Mr. Collins.

Hey, John.

Hey, Cass.

I was just coming to find you.

Hi, Andrew.

I thought you'd be running out of here now term's over.

Oh, I am. I was just walking. Mrs. Anderson out.

Have a lovely holiday.

You, too, Andrew. Thank you.

And make sure you read that Ura Hagan book.

You're doing beautiful work. You're ready for it.

Will do. Thanks.

Are you coming to the Anchor Inn with us?

Oh, absolutely.

I can taste the G&T now.

I'll see you there.

Great.

[thunder cracks]

Good night.

Goodnight, guys.

Whew. Wow.

It's a pretty bad storm.

You sure you'll be okay getting home?

Yeah, of course. Thank you.

I can drop you off. It's no trouble.

I'm okay. Thank you.

[phone ringing]

[thunder rumbling]

Hey, I'm on my way. Everything all right?

[Matthew] Yes, but I'm exhausted.

Do you mind if I go up to bed?

Of course not.

[Matthew] I should wait up for you.

I'll be fine.

It'll only take me about 40 minutes

unless I go through the woods.

[Matthew] Oh, that road's a nightmare.

I wouldn't take it.

Okay.

[Matthew] Promise.

Promise. Love you.

[Matthew] Love you more.

Bye.

Morning, darling.

Mm. Morning.

What time is it?

It's 9:00.

9:00?

I've been up since 7:00.

Mm.

You sleep okay?

Like a rock.

I'm sorry I didn't wait up.

No.

Hey, how was that drive last night?

A lot of thunder, lightning and rain.

A woman's been found dead not that far from here.

Just heard it on the news.

[mysterious music]

That's awful. Where?

On that road that leads between the woods

and Castle Wells.

What road?

Blackwater Lane.

[tense music]

Where are you going?

Shower. I didn't wanna wake you.

[tense music]

[Matthew] I'll make breakfast.

I gotta get Susie's presents.

I'll get something later.

[Reporter] A woman has been found dead in her car

on Blackwater Lane in the early hours of the morning.

Her death is being treated as suspicious.

No further details have been given,

but police are advising people in the area to be vigilant.

[tense music]

[thunder rumbling]

[tense music]

Any luck on finding a new contractor?

Interviewing a few guys,

but I don't wanna rush it, you know,

and have the same problems.

Why don't we just focus on finding the right guy?

It's been two weeks.

Yeah, I know.

- I gotta go. - All right.

Where you going?

I gotta meet Rachel.

Yeah?

Well, wait, aren't we wasting a perfectly good morning?

This is driving me nuts.

I know. I know.

She's my best friend.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Thank you for breakfast.

Of course.

So then did it get really wild last night?

Oh yeah, about as wild as it can get

with a bunch of teachers.

[Rachel] Mm.

I do think I overdid it with the gin a tiny bit though.

That's my girl.

And was gorgeous John there?

Gorgeous John? Yes, John was there.

He still likes you.

No.

Sorry, fancies you.

No, he doesn't. He has a girlfriend now.

And not to mention I have a husband.

I wonder if the girlfriend knows

about the rumors of a first wife.

Oh, God. I don't believe a word of that.

I guarantee she simply moved away.

Mm, I don't know. Susie swears she's missing.

Oh, God. Susie's too much.

Susie apparently has a dossier

and everyone from Houghton Moore to London.

And apparently the new girlfriend is very cute.

And Rach?

Mm?

I really need you to be more supportive of Matthew.

I am so supportive of Matthew!

He could be a little bit nicer to me.

You two did get off to a bit of a rough start.

It's my job to be protective of you.

You were so vulnerable after your mom.

I know.

And thank you.

Anyway, more importantly, how was your trip?

Too many meetings and way too much alcohol.

[both laugh]

Sounds good.

Mm-hm.

Mm!

And...

Of course.

My tea towel?

[Rachel chuckles]

The sisterhood of the traveling tea towel continues.

I found that randomly looking for my birth certificate.

Oh my God!

You were the greatest Regina

in the history of the theater.

I can't believe it's been almost 20 years.

I love Lillian Hellman.

I think it's gonna be our school drama next year.

No way!

Yeah.

Seems like you're really loving teaching.

I am.

But my agent called recently

randomly out of nowhere about an audition,

which is kind of weird,

because I've been missing it a little bit.

You think you're gonna go back?

Matthew's not really for it,

especially if we wanna have a baby.

I know, I know.

I can do both. Imagine.

Anyway, did you get one too?

Yeah, of course.

Tradition.

I love our tradition.

Mom and I used to shop on Saturday mornings.

She came through the other day. I meant to tell you.

- Really? - Yeah.

How?

Tarot.

It was very dramatic.

Very Her.

Very.

We should find something for Susie.

Wait, I thought you already did.

No, I haven't had time.

What should we get?

I thought...

We all decided and pooled our money and gave it to you.

[Cass laughs]

What? When did that happen?

At Hannah's,

We each put in 20, so you should have 160 pounds.

It was your idea, remember,

since Steven's taking her to Venice,

that we get lightweight luggage.

Yeah, I remember.

I'll stop by the luggage shop on the way home.

[disturbing music]

[suspenseful music]

So did you buy out Bond Street?

[Cass exhales]

My God.

Don't sneak up on me like that.

I'm sorry.

Did you see that man out there?

What?

Outside, just right in front of the house.

No, I didn't see anybody.

Well, he was just there.

Let me see.

Where?

There?

I'm not making it up.

What?

Come on, Cass.

Your imagination's just...

It's a little bit out there sometimes.

Matthew, I didn't imagine it!

[tense music]

[electronic dance music playing]

- Hey, beauty. - Hi!

- Hi. - Hi.

Hey, Matthew.

Hey, Rachel. How's it going?

You're never gonna believe this.

The woman who was murdered, she worked at my company.

I'm gonna get us drinks.

Thank you, babe.

Wow. Did you know her?

No, different division, but I feel really bad

'cause I came straight into the office

from the airport yesterday, and I was jet lagged,

and I just kind of got into it with someone

over a parking space, and I'm pretty sure it was her.

Oh, you couldn't have known.

And Susie's really upset,

'cause apparently she knows the husband, who's devastated,

and he's left on his own to raise two-year-old twins.

I mean, it's a tragedy.

Twins?

What was her name?

Jane Walters.

Oh, God. It can't be her.

How would you know her?

I met her at the leaving party that you took me to.

We got to talking and we exchanged numbers.

I told you about it when you were in New York.

I mean, I don't remember, but you could have,

and it's not like I would know who she is, right?

- Yeah. - I mean...

Oh, wow.

No, I was supposed to go to her house

in the next couple of weeks to meet her kids.

Really gives you perspective.

Scary.

Hey, love!

Are you empty handed?

No, it's okay. Matthew's getting me a drink.

I didn't know you knew John Collins.

He works at my school.

I love John! John is my tennis coach.

Hey, Susie.

Hey, John!

Oh! Susie.

Happy birthday.

Thank you, Matthew.

Hey, John, come over here. Come and say hi.

[Guest] Hi.

Oh, not you, Jack! John!

Sorry, sorry.

I need to borrow the birthday girl for a photo shoot.

I'll be back.

Hi, John.

- Hey, Cass. - Hey.

- Hi. - Hey, Rach.

This is my husband, Matthew.

Nice to meet you.

Same to you.

I didn't know you were a tennis coach.

Hey, John? Come say hi to my old doubles partner.

[John laughs]

Yeah, I used to play pro many years ago.

I just coach on the side now.

Come on, Johnny! Come on!

- Look, I... - Come and say hi!

Think I've gotta go.

I'll...

Nice to see you, Matt, and

I'll see you soon, Cass!

Okay.

[mysterious music]

[wind whistling]

[mysterious music]

Interesting.

The police released a photo.

Show me.

[unsettling music]

Oh my God, that is her.

That makes no sense. Why Jane?

Unless it's random.

What do you mean, like a serial killer?

We should upgrade the system in the house.

This thing's useless.

Half the sensors don't even work.

- Yeah. - And a dog!

No, no,

No, we should get a dog.

I thought you wanted a baby.

It's a good idea to get the alarm system fixed, yeah.

It'll just be one of us constantly setting the thing off.

Where are you going?

Gonna make sure everything's locked downstairs.

[Cass exhales]

[Cass exhales heavily]

[phone rings]

Hello?

[static crackling]

Hello?

[suspenseful music]

Who was that at this hour?

There was nobody there.

Well.

It's probably just a misdial.

Yeah.

It's nothing.

Hopefully.

No, it's nothing.

Everything locked up?

It's all locked.

[tense music]

[Reporter] A picture is emerging of the mother

found dead on Blackwater Lane.[floor creaking]

Jane Walters.

Just before 10:00 p.m. she left a voicemail message

on her husband's mobile.

The police have estimated her murder

to have happened between 10:00 and 11:00 p.m.

Her husband, Alex Waters,

is appealing for help from the public,

and police have established an anonymous tip line.

[Reporter] Thanks, Jessica.

We'll keep the public informed.

[floor creaking]

Moving on to today's news in Yorkshire.

We have a summer fete, where the local...

Matt?

What they're doing is raising money for local charity.

Matt?

[suspenseful music]

[floor creaking]

Matt?

[floor creaking]

Matt, is that you?

[shuffling]

[wind whistling]

[Cass exhales]

[ominous music]

[latch clicks]

[phone ringing]

Hello?

[static crackling]

Hello?

[caller gasping]

[doorbell rings]

Oh, I just called this

I thought you were coming tomorrow.

Yes, but there was a cancellation, and I was in the area.

Sorry I didn't call.

Is your husband there?

No, he's not.

I guess it's fine if you wanna just take a quick look.

Will this take long? I was just leaving.

No more than 10 minutes.

Are you often at the house on your own?

No.

No, my husband will be back any minute.

Well, looking at your house,

I'd say you're a prime target for burglars.

You've got a system, but it's obsolete.

You need to get new sensors for the windows,

doors, stairs as well.

I'll just take a quick look.

[phone ringing]

[Cass gasps]

- Sorry. - Sorry.

Right, should we go and sit down?

Actually, I don't think we need an upgrade after all.

Well, after the murder of that young woman,

I'd say you're making a mistake.

Don't forget, the murderer is still out there.

Maybe you just come back after my husband's here.

I don't know when I can.

Murder's good for business, if you know what I mean.

[tense music]

Actually, I don't need to walk the house.

I've already got a copy of the layout.

[tense music]

I'll send you an estimate.

[water splashing]

[intense music] [water splashing]

[Cass screaming]

[Cass gasping]

There was someone in the house!

[Matthew] What?

When I was in the bath,

and they were holding me down.

I thought I was dead.

[Matthew] Stay there. I'll call the police.

Wait, wait, wait.

I just wanna make sure.

I mean, I am. It's just I haven't seen anybody.

So I just want you to come and check and make sure

before we get the police up.

[doorbell rings]

Oh, I'm so sorry. I told my husband not to call you guys.

Call us?

I'm...

I was just taking a bath, and I thought I heard someone,

but I didn't actually see anybody,

so I don't even know how they would've gotten in the house.

So I'm just unsure.

Are you Cass Anderson?

Yes.

Well, actually, we are here about Jane Walters.

Jane Walters?

We received a tip

that you were on Blackwater Lane the night of her murder.

Is that true?

I'm sorry.

Uh, yes.

I was on that road that night.

And I was gonna call the tip line,

but I just hadn't come up with the nerve just yet.

Okay.

Can we come in?

Yeah, of course.

[tense music]

What's going on?

You all right?

Babe.

I think I just, I took a bath, and I slipped,

and I got confused, and I'm not sure what happened.

So you stopped, you saw that it was a woman,

and then you just, you drove on home.

But you knew Jane Walters.

I had met her a few weeks before.

But it was raining so hard that night,

I could only see that it was the shape of a woman.

I couldn't see her face.

[Lawson] You didn't try to see if she needed help?

Didn't seem like she needed any.

So you just kept on driving.

Did you see anyone else around?

Did you notice anything?

No.

No.

I took my foot off the brake

to signal that I was leaving, and she didn't respond,

so I left.

Okay.

[alcohol pouring]

Why didn't you tell me?

Did you open that window?

No, it was like that when I came in.

Don't change the subject. I told you not to take that road.

Why didn't you tell me you drove by that car?

I shut that before I took a bath!

I checked the door and all the windows!

Cass, why didn't you tell me?

Because I knew you'd get angry

if I drove through the forest,

and I didn't feel like arguing

about the way that I drove home!

You should have told me.

Fine! Jesus Christ.

Do you know what this means?

The murderer reported this.

Murderer?

How do you know that?

It could have been anybody.

How do you know somebody wasn't following you in the car?

- No. - Standing in the woods.

No, it had to have been who killed her.

You don't know that.

You said she was still alive when you were there.

I thought she was, but what do I know?

I couldn't see two feet in front of me.

Gotta get that alarm system set up

before I go away this week.

Go away this week?

Yeah, I gotta go to the rig. We discussed it.

No, you never said anything.

Of course I did.

When?

Well, three weeks ago, when I first found out.

No, you didn't. I would've remembered.

And stop telling me you said something when you didn't.

[Rachel] Yeah, I can.

Yeah, sure. I can come over.

You can?

[Rachel] Yeah.

I've gotta wine and dine some clients that night,

but I will drive over the minute I'm done.

Are you sure?

[Rachel] Yeah. Very sure.

It'll be at pajama party.

But right now I have to run into a meeting.

Okay.

Rach, thank you.

[floor creaking]

[phone ringing]

Hello?

[static crackling]

[caller gasping]

Who's there?

[suspenseful music]

Andrew?

What are you doing here?

Happened to be in the area,

and I wanted to drop off your book.

How do you know where I live?

Harry Freeman lives just one street over.

He told me you lived here,

but really pretty much everybody knows

you bought the old Crawford house.

I didn't know that.

Yeah, I mean, it's sat empty for so long.

My mom gives local tours, and she always talks about it

being one of the original houses in the village.

Is it true that it's haunted?

It's possible.

I've heard a lot of unexplained creeks recently.

Anyhow, I love the book.

It's really changed my perspective on things,

so thanks for thinking of me.

[mysterious music]

I'd love to stay and talk with you about this,

but I was just on my way out.

Did you walk here?

No, I biked over.

Don't live too far,

just on the other side of that Blackwater Lane.

Lovely.

Thanks again Mrs. Anderson.

My pleasure.

Thank you for the book.

[tense music]

[bicycle rattles]

[mysterious music]

[mysterious music continues]

Sorry I'm late.

[ominous music]

[loud crash]

[eerie music]

[Cass gasps]

Cass?

John! Hi.

Woo! Scared me.

Cass, what are you doing here?

I have a meeting. What about you?

I thought I told you I give tennis lessons over midterm.

I wonder where Mary is.

Mary?

Yeah, she's giving me a sample plan for the coursework,

But I dropped her at the airport yesterday.

What? But I texted her.

She said to meet her here. It's not like her.

The message is gone.

That's weird.

Well, could it have been an old message?

Maybe.

I could have sworn she texted me back.

I guess I am losing my mind.

Hey, listen, I do things like that all the time.

Do you?

Well, no, not really.

Yeah, I figured.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I've been very off.

Have you heard about the murder?

You know, I used to play tennis with her.

I couldn't believe it when I heard the news.

I felt terrible. Still do.

Yeah. I didn't know you knew her.

I did too.

Then you how sweet she was.

I really hope they find who did it soon.

Did you know her husband?

Just a bit.

Truth be told, he always struck me as a bit weird.

Look, I've gotta get to my lesson. Can I walk you out?

Yeah, sure. How do you mean?

You said her husband's weird.

Well, he didn't like Jane and I playing tennis together.

That's why we stopped.

She did anything she could to please him.

[Cass] So you're off to Greece soon.

No, not anymore. [sighs]

Oh. Why?

Let's just say my girlfriend is no longer on the scene.

Oh. I'm sorry.

Hey, these things happen.

Look, I've gotta get over to the courts,

even though the kid cheats like mad

and there's nothing I detest more.

But can we get a drink later?

Might be nice to commiserate together about Jane.

Oh, Matthew's going outta town.

Sure, yeah. Drink sounds nice.

Great. I'll see you then.

See you then.

[mysterious music]

[unsettling music]

[wind whistling]

[Cass] Hey, you coming? You on your way?

[Rachel] Ah, Cass don't hate me.

I'm sorry. I can't make it.

What?

[Rachel] This client dinner is running late

and driving me also insane.

I'm sorry.

No, no. There's nothing you can do.

It's fine.

[Rachel] Are you gonna be okay?

Of course I'll be fine. [phone beeping]

[Rachel] Turn all the lights on.

Open ice cream. Honey, that's Matthew.

Let me call you back.

[Rachel] Okay. [phone beeping]

Hi, babe.

[Matthew] Hey babe.

There's a problem I'm working on.

Is Rachel with you?

Uh...

Not yet.

Go do your problem. I'll be fine.

I'll talk to you later.

I love you.

Hello?

There's someone in my house.

Please send someone quick.

14 Old River Road.

[glass shattering]

Please come fast.

[glass shattering]

[floor creaking]

[DC Lawson] I'm at the Anderson residence.

[Officer] You sure?

Yeah, we checked the whole house. There's no one there.

[chatter on police radio]

No broken glass, nothing.

Did you get the background report from Gordon?

[Officer] Yes.

Two years ago, Cass Anderson was admitted

to the psych ward at Howden Moor Hospital.

Psych ward?

[Officer] Yeah.

Listen, we need to keep an eye on them.

I'm not quite sure what, but something's off there.

[chatter on phone]

Uh-huh.

[chatter on phone]

Got it.

[mysterious music]

[water splashing]

[mysterious music continues]

So did you recognize the voice?

They asked me that.

Something about it sounded familiar.

And what does Matthew say?

Did he come back?

No, he can't come back right away.

He's with a group on a rig.

Get rid of him.

[Cass chuckles]

I'm joking, Cass. I know.

- I'm just joking. - I know

A rig?

Yeah, he's with British Energy Partners.

He has to make a lot of site visits.

It would be one thing if I was in the hospital,

but it's not easy going to and from an oil rig,

so he's coming back as planned.

Gotcha.

I don't know what to think of yesterday.

It doesn't make any sense.

Something about it feels connected to Jane.

Jane?

I don't know. Probably not.

Maybe it's Andrew.

Andrew Manning, from school?

I think he has a bit of a crush.

He came by my house the other day.

Really?

Yeah.

I gave him a book to read over the break,

and he brought it back.

Probably harmless, but it was strange.

Well, 15-year-old boys are generally strange.

He said Harry Freeman lives one street over from me

and that's who told him where I live.

Well, Harry Freeman doesn't live near you.

How do you know?

Because he lives near me, on the other side of town.

I know his mom. We were schoolmates.

That's weird.

I've also been getting a lot of hangup calls.

Ah, yeah, but that could be those nuisance calls.

No, they're not just nuisance calls.

There's definitely someone there. It feels very personal.

Like something a 15-year-old kid would do.

This was so nice.

Yeah, really enjoyed it. Thanks.

No, thank you so much for coming all the way out here.

Any time.

Do you wanna see the pool? It's really beautiful.

It's just right over there.

Can do.

[Cass sighs]

[both chuckle]

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Look, I better...

Better go as well.

Yeah.

Thank you again.

Any time.

- Okay. - Okay.

[tense music]

[knocking on door]

Oh,

That looks good.

Thank you.

- Hi. - Hi.

Tough week? Mm.

I guess you could say that.

Not as tough as yours.

None of it makes any sense.

I know.

Who was that or what was that?

I don't know.

Babe, are you still taking pills?

I mean the ones you started when your mom died.

Only the sleeping ones. Why?

I don't know.

Side effects?

I mean, some of those drugs cause hallucinations.

This wasn't a hallucination!

Jesus.

I'm just trying to figure out what's going on.

It's been one thing after another recently.

I mean, what happened at the house and...

What's your point?

Hey, nevermind. I'm sorry.

We're here now, right?

Let's just enjoy it.

To us.

To us and our suite.

Yes.

And our very nice hotel suite.

[Cass sighs]

[glasses clink]

This is the last one they had.

Such a shame.

The bed is massive.

Not so massive that you'll lose me in it?

No chance.

No chance.

Do you have a copy of the contract

for the alarm that I apparently signed?

You don't think I'd actually have done that

without you, do you?

All I know is that, when I got there this morning,

there was a technician waiting outside.

He said his boss and you set today as the installation,

but then there was nobody there when he got there.

I decided nothing. I told them we'd get back to them.

But you signed a contract.

I did no such thing.

See, that's what I thought, but then he showed me a copy.

Can I see it?

Yeah, I'll show it to you later.

Can we just enjoy tonight?

Yeah. Okay.

Yeah.

Okay. We'll sort it out.

Okay.

[ominous music]

[Cass and Matthew moaning]

[ominous music]

[ominous music continues]

[ominous music continues]

[music fades]

[birds cawing]

[cawing continues]

[ominous music]

[rain pouring]

[thunder rumbles]

Shit!

Stabbing somebody's one thing,

but slitting their throat with a massive knife?

That's just sick!

Matthew!

What?

It was just on the news. That's how she died.

Please!

Hey, Cass, will you calm down?

How am I supposed to calm down

if you won't stop going on and on about it?

I'm sick of hearing about it!

I have not been going on about it.

That's the first time I said anything.

[doorbell rings]

I'll get it.

- Hi. - Hi.

I'm just checking on Mrs. Anderson.

Any more disturbances?

Thank you so much.

No. Not really, no.

We just got back, so it's pretty quiet.

Well, I meant to ask you,

did Jane Walters ever mention her husband to you?

Yeah.

Yeah, she spoke very highly of him.

Hmm. Yeah.

Did you know her as well, Mr. Anderson?

Me? No.

I didn't know her.

Well, you met her briefly

that one time at the lunch, remember?

Yeah.

What time did you get back home that night again?

Like 11:45.

You remember it being 11:45, do you, Mr. Anderson?

No, well, I was asleep so.

Well, he was exhausted,

so he slept in one of the guest rooms.

A guest room?

I'm a bit of a snorer,

so sometimes he takes solace in there.

Okay, got it.

Well, if you think of anything, you just give us a call.

Yeah?

Yeah.

[mysterious music]

[mysterious music continues]

[mysterious music continues]

[Cass] I don't feel safe there anymore.

I'm trying, but I don't know if it's possible.

I really hope they find Jane's killer soon.

That would be very helpful.

Have you heard anything at work?

I mean, the police are there every other day,

but it doesn't seem like they have any idea.

I'm beginning to wonder if it was just random, you know,

which worries me the most.

What do you mean?

I guess like, what if it was the killer at your house?

I don't think I could even go back there.

I think I'd have to pack up and move.

I'm honestly considering it.

What I'm saying is I don't blame you.

What does Matthew say?

He thinks it's my medication or that I'm hallucinating.

You're kidding.

You don't have a hallucination outta the blue like that.

There has to be other indications.

Helpful.

Yeah, I know.

[mysterious music]

[mysterious music continues]

[doorbell rings]

Hi.

I just really miss Jane.

If only she'd listened to me.

None of this had to happen.

How do you mean?

She didn't need that job.

I begged her not to go back after the twins.

Lots of women like to work.

It's a balancing act.

I know.

I'm sure you feel the same.

Why do you think her staying home would've changed things?

Why do you think she was out that night?

She said she had a late meeting at the office.

Is that all she said?

Yeah, just that.

Did she ever talk to you about it?

No.

Not that I remember.

Sometimes I wonder if she was seeing somebody.

There's a guy she used to play tennis with.

I never did like him.

No, I I never got that from her.

She adored you and the girls.

She was over the moon.

I hope it was true.

[tense music]

[bird squawking]

[doorbell rings]

[vehicle beeping]

Oh, it's the delivery.

I'll get it.

Yeah, thank you. You too.

Thanks. Bye.

That's weird.

The baby shop. Yeah?

I was in there the other day.

I stopped in after having lunch with Rachel.

Yeah. I just got off the phone with them.

They said they placed an order for you.

I was buying a sleeping suit for Sheila at school.

She has a new baby.

So what she told her, is it true?

I didn't believe her at first.

I thought she must be mistaken.

Is what true?

Are you really pregnant?

No.

What?

I'm not pregnant.

She was congratulating me

and, I mean, she knew who you were.

Well, it's a mistake. She's mistaken.

You know, she was pretty specific.

She was very clear that you told her you were pregnant,

and now there's a stroller in my kitchen.

I mean, I never told her I'm pregnant.

She assumed it because I was shopping there,

but I never ordered that.

I mean, are you sure you didn't order a stroller?

I don't know.

I mean, there was another couple there,

and we were all looking at it at the same time.

Maybe she got confused.

Yeah, but you don't know for sure?

I don't think so.

Sweetheart.

Maybe now's a good time to talk to Dr. Deakins.

Dr. Deakins?

Why?

Well, after what happened while I was away,

and the contract thing, and this, I just feel...

I don't think it'll do any harm to see a doctor.

Just for a checkup.

You don't believe me.

[tense music]

So, Matthew says you've been having trouble

remembering things.

When did you first notice?

Please don't be upset.

It's typically the spouse who contacts us.

I had a look at the notes from your hospitalization.

There's a note here about your mother having dementia.

How old was she when she was diagnosed?

55.

So, early-onset dementia.

But Cass as way too young for that.

Unfortunately, not necessarily.

[tense music]

Hey.

Got everything.

[bag rustling]

[tense music]

Oh, babe.

[emotional music]

Cass Anderson stopped by here the other day.

I'd completely forgotten until then.

Forgotten what?

Jane mentioned to me

someone she knew was having an affair.

[mysterious music]

[TV] Also come with abiding by the law.

I think I'm gonna head up.

Got an early day tomorrow.

Okay.

I'll be up in a little bit.

[TV] All I ask is what you're feeling.

As a citizen, as a man of God...

[TV static crackling]

[eerie music]

[eerie music continues]

[eerie music continues]

[Ghostly Voice] Cass.

Cass.

[unsettling music]

Cass.

Matthew!

[Ghostly Voice] Cass.

Cass.

[startling music]

[Cass screams]

Matt!

Matt!

[suspenseful music]

[Cass gasps]

Matt?

Matt!

Were you calling me? What's going on?

There's a knife!

Wait, what knife?

Look!

What?

No, no.

What?

No, it was right here. Just now!

It was right here!

I promise. There was a knife.

There was a knife here. And then the TV.

Maybe it's just one of those things-

And there was a woman saying my name.

So, wait, the woman on the TV-

No, no, no, in the house!

Didn't you hear her?

I didn't hear a thing. Should we call the cops?

Why would we call the cops?

They'll do nothing.

Babe, come on, come on.

I don't think you can.

I promise I'm not making it up.

No, I know, I know.

I know.

I promise! [sobbing]

Shh.

I don't get it.

I just don't understand.

It was right here.

What? What?

Please consider taking the prescription from the doctor.

Please.

It was right here! [sobbing]

And there was a woman, and she was saying my name.

[Cass sobbing]

It's just the stress.

Really, really.

I'm not sure I understand. I wanna understand.

[Cass sobbing]

I promise I'm not crazy!

Come on. Come on.

[Cass sobbing]

Come on.

[Cass sobbing]

[phone ringing]

[baby crying]

[voicemail beeps]

[Matthew] Hey, babe. It's me.

Maybe you're asleep or in the shower.

I'll call you back.

[voicemail beeps]

[baby crying]

[crying continues]

[dramatic music]

[mysterious music continues]

[music fades]

[health monitor beeping]

Thank God.

You're okay?

What happened?

You took too many pills.

No.

I didn't take an overdose.

Try to stay calm, Cassandra.

I took the two pills today. I swear.

Cass.

Hey.

You all right?

I must have fallen asleep.

It's okay.

But remember, Dr. Deakin said

to try to get on a regular sleep schedule.

Yeah.

Did you call Mary?

Yes.

Did you tell her it's because of food poisoning

I missed the test?

Yes. That's exactly what I said.

She's fine, so you don't have to worry.

Thank you.

Hey, you want to eat? You hungry?

A little bit, yeah.

I'll run out for Chinese.

Can't they just deliver?

Yeah, but when we call,

it always takes forever and it's cold.

I'll just get our usual order, all right?

Be right back.

Wait, Matthew.

What?

You forgot your phone.

Oh, thanks. I'm gonna need that.

See you soon.

[phone chimes]

[knocking on door]

[electricity buzzing]

[electricity crackling]

[electricity crackling]

[Cass sobbing]

[doorbell rings]

Did you see that?

- What? - The lights.

The lights, they were flickering and buzzing like crazy.

You saw it, right?

No, I didn't see anything.

You didn't see the lights?

They were flickering and they were...

The whole thing was buzzing.

No, no, I didn't see anything.

Okay.

- Okay. - Sorry.

Are you okay?

It's just my mom.

Your mom?

My mom visited me.

Your mom has passed.

I know it sounds crazy.

She's been in touch a lot lately.

We were notified that you were in the hospital.

The report said attempted suicide.

It wasn't that.

The emergency nurse came to her own conclusions.

How so?

Look, I've had a hard time ever since I lost my mom.

The point is I've been on anti-anxiety medication,

and with everything going on, I think I just miscalculated.

I don't think I have the nerve to actually kill myself.

That's good to hear.

I'm also here because we got another tip.

Okay.

Have you been back to Blackwater Lane

since the night that Jane was killed?

Yeah, I went to where they drop off flowers.

Who's calling in these tips?

We don't know. They're anonymous.

I probably should have told you this before,

but I got out and I walked around,

and I found something.

[soft music]

Where did you find it?

Off the road, near the woods, somewhere in the grass.

But the weird thing is I think it's mine.

It's yours?

I have a pair just like it,

and when I found it, I came back and I checked,

and one of mine is missing.

[Lawson sighs]

So why didn't you call us?

Honestly, I didn't know what to do.

[soft music]

Is everything okay here?

What do you mean?

With you and your husband?

We're good. Why?

Well, someone mentioned that you had a close relationship

with Mr. Collins.

He's a fellow teacher at your school I think.

John?

That's absurd.

He's a good friend but nothing more.

Okay.

I had to ask, you know.

I figured, because let's face it,

who leaves a guy who can give you all of this

for a teacher?

No offense.

You mean my house?

Matthew had nothing to do with this.

This is from my parents.

[Lawson chuckles]

It's very nice for you.

Yeah. Thanks.

It was a bit of a surprise.

I mean, I certainly didn't want for anything

growing up.

Well, I'm gonna hope for a surprise like that

for me one day.

It's funny, you know.

They still call it the old Crawford House.

And your friend, Rachel, her name came up recently.

Is it a coincidence that her middle name is Crawford?

No. No coincidence.

Her family owned this house many years ago.

I thought there might be a connection.

So what happened?

Her grandfather was a part of some financial fraud scheme

and they lost everything, including their family home.

So how does she feel about your family buying it?

She was totally for it. She wanted our family to have it.

I guess it's kind of back in the family for her.

I like to think so.

Okay.

Thank you for your time. I'll show myself out.

[soft music]

[birds cawing]

You went back out in those woods

and you found your earring?

Why didn't you tell me this?

Didn't think anything of it.

I found it and I put it in my purse.

Jesus.

Maybe this is the wrong time,

but you have to read that letter from Dr. Deakins.

What letter?

The one that came the other day.

I didn't see it.

Well, it's on the counter

with the rest of the mail that you haven't opened.

I'll go through it tomorrow.

That's what you said the other...

Listen, the thing is...

What?

I read the letter from the doctor.

You opened my mail?

Just that one,

and only because you weren't dealing with it.

What if he wanted to see you again

or change your medication or something?

You had no right!

Where is it?

Where you left it.

[envelope rustling]

[soft music]

There you have it.

Look, I think he just wants to refer you for some tests.

Mm-hm.

I hope so.

[somber music]

It's been a night.

Coming up?

Mm-hm.

I'll be right there.

Okay.

[somber music]

[DC Lawson] Hi, this is DC Lawson.

I'm investigating a murder in Howden Moor,

and there's a person of interest

who attended university there.

Anything you can tell me would be very much appreciated.

[emotional music]

[phone ringing]

Hi, my name is Cass Anderson.

We recently had an alarm installed.

Would it be possible for you

to email me a copy of the contract?

I seem to have misplaced it.

Yeah, Cass Anderson. Anderson.

Mm-hm.

[emotional music]

[Cass sighs]

[Susie] So, how about a cup of tea?

A cup of tea sounds nice. Thank you.

I'm so glad you came by.

[water running]

So how are you?

I'm okay.

Still upset about Jane, as I'm sure you are too.

Still so hard to believe.

I've been helping Alex out with the kids here and there.

That's really sweet. Rachel mentioned you knew him.

We were all members at the same club.

Can I ask you something?

[Susie] Sure. What?

Did Jane have any work friends?

Definitely.

Her best friend was Kelly Duffy.

She's an accountant.

I'd love to talk to her. Would you introduce me?

I could have Rachel introduce me.

Oh, hell no. Don't ask Rachel.

What?

Do not mention Kelly to Rachel.

Why?

You know what?

Let's make it wine instead of tea.

I'll tell you as long as you promise not to tell anyone,

most of all Rachel.

You have my word.

She had an affair with Kelly's husband

a couple of years ago.

They ended up divorcing.

What?

I can't believe it. Rachel would never do that.

Well, believe it, because it's true.

[wine pouring]

They used to go away to Italy together all the time.

She loves Italy.

She was going every other week and a while back.

He used to tell Kelly he had to go for business.

One week she followed him there.

So Rachel and Jane definitely knew about each other.

[mysterious music]

[engine revving]

[suspenseful music]

[engine revs]

What?

[engine revving]

[Cass gasps]

[horn honking repeatedly]

[Cass gasps]

[horn honking continues]

[tires squeal]

[Cass gasping]

[cars bump]

[dramatic music]

Oh God.

[music fades]

[police siren chirps]

Mrs. Anderson?

Yes.

You called to report an accident?

Actually, not an accident.

Someone tried to run me off the road.

I actually can't believe there's not more damage.

Hey, was it really necessary to call the police?

Yeah. It needs to be documented.

Sorry, officer.

I was too busy trying not to be run off the road

to get a license plate, but-

Can you tell with the make and model of the car?

Yeah, it was a big black SUV with blacked out windows.

You sure it wasn't somebody just trying to pass?

The road's dark. People are aggressive.

I'm pretty sure I know

someone wasn't trying to pass!

Look at my car!

You don't remember that happened last week.

The delivery truck? I asked you to back up.

That's old damage.

I'm sorry, officer.

My wife sometimes has trouble with her memory.

No.

No. This has nothing to do with my memory.

I think I would know if someone was running me off the road.

Sometimes you don't.

[dramatic music]

Thank you for your time.

You completely undermined me.

Come on, Cass.

It was probably just somebody trying to pass.

Thanks for the support.

Look, babe, you've got signs of early-onset dementia.

You're sick. When are gonna accept that?

[dramatic music]

I didn't mean that. I'm sorry.

[dramatic music]

[Cass] Hello.

[Caller] Mrs. Anderson?

Yes.

[Caller] Hi, this is Amy

from Castle Wells Protection Services.

I'm so sorry, but I think I gave you

the wrong contract the other day.

What do you mean?

[Amy] Well, when I put back the file,

I found a second contract.

Did your husband sign first and then you later?

A second contract.

Can can you send me what you have?

[Amy] I just emailed it to you.

Thank you.

Okay, so what you just sent is the original,

and then what you sent me yesterday was an addendum?

[Amy] It wasn't an addendum after all.

It was a second contract.

Did your husband sign first and then you later?

I'm not sure.

What's the date on the one with my signature?

[Amy] It looks like the day of installation.

But I wasn't in town that day.

[mysterious music]

[mysterious music continues]

[flies buzzing]

[mysterious music]

Hey.

Hey.

Hi.

I'll have a small sauvignon blanc.

I'll have another rose.

What's going on?

It's Matthew.

He's been really cold lately, and I think...

I think he's having an affair.

Is this a a general feeling or something specific?

It's just a general feeling,

but there has been a distinct shift in his attitude.

Thanks.

Your intuition is usually spot on.

You should hire a private investigator.

Really?

Absolutely.

If he is, then you'll have proof,

and if he isn't, then you'll know.

I have somebody great. I'll text you his info.

Of course you do.

Send me the info. I'll think about it.

Do it.

You know I've never trusted Matthew.

It's been a lot lately.

I almost wouldn't blame him.

Have you ever had one?

An...

An affair?

That's a complicated question to ask out of the blue.

Is it?

I feel like it's a yes or no question.

It's not really that complicated.

All affairs are not necessarily equal.

Okay, I can't get into it right now.

Let's table it for another time when you're not

in the middle of this.

I have to run to the bathroom.

[diners chattering]

[Cass sighs]

[phone buzzes]

[dramatic music]

[dramatic music continues]

We're okay. Thank you.

Legal's still expecting us to send an email with a CC.

Yeah, we could turn it around

by the end of business in New York, but...

Hold on.

I'm sorry.

Kind of an emergency came up at the office.

Can I abandon you?

Oh, no, no, that's fine.

But I do wanna finish the conversation, okay?

Yeah.

Let's get lunch.

Okay. I'm coming in.

Well, it's kind of the 11th hour.

[dramatic music]

[phone beeps]

[dramatic music]

[horn honks]

[Cass exhales]

[ominous music]

[phone buttons clicking]

[Matthew] Hang in there.

End in sight. Promise.

Let me know what happens.

[Rachel] Waiting for her to arrive.

[Matthew] We've got to end this.

[Rachel] Agreed. Now's the time.

[dramatic music]

[phone beeps]

[Rachel] We've got a problem.

[Rachel moaning]

Someone saw us.

[Rachel moaning]

[moaning continues]

[suspenseful music]

I'm meeting her Friday night on Blackwater Lane.

[thunder cracks]

[thunder rumbling]

[Cass exhales]

[phone beeps]

I think someone may have seen me on Blackwater.

I recognize the car.

[dramatic music]

[Matthew] Yeah. Are you there?

Hello?

Hello?

[dramatic music]

[drawer sliding]

[rummaging]

[Matthew] Shit, stabbing somebody's one thing,

but slitting their throat with a massive knife?

That's just sick.

[dramatic music]

[dramatic music continues]

[unsettling music]

[Cass gasping]

[Matthew] We've got to end this.

[Rachel] Agreed. Now's the time.

[dramatic music]

[dramatic music continues]

[Cass gasps]

[Cass sobbing]

[dramatic music]

[music fades]

[wind whistling]

[wind whistling]

[knocking on door]

Mrs. Anderson?

[doorbell rings]

Mrs. Anderson!

[dramatic music]

Mrs. Anderson! [banging on window]

Mrs. Anderson! [banging on window]

Please send an ambulance to 14 Old River Road!

I've just found my teacher!

It's an emergency! Come quick!

Mr. Anderson.

I'm sorry to inform you there's been an incident.

What's going on? Where's my wife?

I came to get a paper for my class.

I sensed something was really wrong,

so I went and looked for her.

What? What are you saying?

She was just laid there. There was blood everywhere.

Where is she?

She didn't make it.

They took her to the hospital.

I'm so, so sorry.

No.

[grim music]

[eerie music]

[eerie music continues]

[ominous music]

She really loved this house.

This was never part of the plan. Rachel.

This has all gotten way outta hand.

I know.

This isn't the time. We have to find the phone.

[floor creaking]

It's just the house settling.

[floor creaking]

Someone's here.

[suspenseful music]

[electricity buzzing]

[buzzing continues]

[suspenseful music]

[disturbing music]

[loud bang]

Hey!

[dramatic music]

[Matthew and John grunting]

[Matthew choking]

[John groans]

[both grunting]

[John groans]

[both panting]

[plastic rustling]

[Matthew choking]

[suspenseful music]

[hammer thuds]

[Rachel breathing heavily]

[suspenseful music]

[Cass panting]

[suspenseful music]

[Cass breathing heavily]

[knife swishes]

Walk inside, Cass,

[Cass grunts] [Rachel groans]

[suspenseful music]

[Cass and Rachel grunting]

[both grunting]

[water splashing]

[suspenseful music]

[Cass groans]

[ominous music]

You have to call an ambulance for John.

How long have you been having an affair with John?

What?

It's not gonna work, Rachel.

I have your phone.

That is not my phone. It's yours.

Yes it is!

It's your phone that you've been using to text my husband.

Right, Matt?

Right, Matt?

Why are you doing this?

No one is doing this.

You're clearly having another breakdown.

You're unbelievable.

You're unwell, Cass.

You've never been well.

You'd want me to believe that, wouldn't you?

I knew you were competitive.

But cheating with my husband?

Wow.

Was it competitive when you bought this house?

To humiliate me?

Humiliate you?

For the record, I never cheated with your husband.

What?

Cass, I'm sorry.

Rachel, this has to stop.

You don't know her like I do.

We gotta stop. We gotta let her go.

She does not care about you.

She only cares about herself. Trust me.

With all that you inherited,

did you ever think to share one penny with anyone else?

That's what this is about?

Money?

No, that's not how I keep score.

But it's how you keep score.

That's why you're doing this?

Don't you know that, if you needed anything,

I would've given it to you?

Like when we were in school?

You knew.

You knew what was happening to me.

You knew what happened to my mother.

You knew, and you never said a word.

No, Rachel, you're wrong.

My mother was helping your mother.

Of course I didn't say anything.

I didn't wanna embarrass you.

[dramatic music]

All your perceived hurts, always trying to get revenge.

After everything my family did for you.

Your family has done nothing for me.

Your family can never hurt me again.

[suspenseful music]

You don't touch me!

You don't...

[knife stabs]

You don't touch me! [Matthew groaning]

[blood spurts]

Matthew!

[Matthew groaning]

[Rachel moaning]

You did this!

You did this! You did this!

[door bursts open]

That's enough!

[guns cocking]

Back away.

Somebody help him!

Back away!

Somebody help him!

Somebody help him!

Somebody help him!

[Rachel sobbing]

[indistinct chatter on police radio]

We were trying to restrain Cass, and she got violent.

Tell me something.

You and Matthew have known each other

for a very long time, haven't you?

Since university?

You took some computer science course

and he was a teaching assistant.

But Cass didn't take that class.

She never even met Matthew

until after her mother had passed.

But you orchestrated the meeting at the expat event.

You convinced her to go. She took the bait.

I'm charging you for the murder of Jane Walters,

But I'm guessing there'll be a few more charges to follow.

On what evidence? I was in New York.

I pulled the flight manifests.

You never went to New York,

and Matthew's never worked a day on the rig.

You killed Jane.

[dramatic music]

Thank you.

[Rachel] In the end, John ended up being okay.

But Matthew didn't make it.

He died that night.

And Rachel finally admitted to everything.

They had known each other for years.

And shortly after my breakdown,

Rachel and Matthew met, and a plan ensued

to make me think and look

like I had early-onset dementia like my mother,

which would drive me to suicide.

All was going to plan until Jane saw them in the office

and then met Matthew with me at lunch.

But Rachel, ever resourceful,

decided to kill Jane and then make me look like a suspect.

But I sensed the deception,

and Matthew was a bit too thrilled to share with me

Dr. Deakins' theory about early-onset dementia.

They cruelly used the experiences I was having

with my mother who passed away.

I started to realize I'd been in danger all along.

And then I found the camera.

And I decided to turn the tables.

I came up with a plan.

I called John and DC Lawson

and enlisted Andrew to help too.

[students applauding]

I needed someone who could give

the performance of their life.

I knew Matthew and Rachel would be watching,

and I knew they'd come back for the knife and the phone.

Mr. Anderson, I'm sorry to inform you

there's been an incident.

What's scary is they could have pulled it off.

I'm so sorry about Jane.

[emotional music]

Even after all this, I miss Rachel,

who we were together, all the laughs and cries.

I even miss Matthew,

even after discovering he never loved me.

This was a plan they had from the very beginning.

At the end of the day,

I've found that three things are certain.

If you listen, the answers are there.

Everything happens when it's supposed to.

And you are so much stronger than you think
