Original subtitles

Hey!

Don't move! The police are on their way.

Who are you?

Well. I guess I'm your sister.

Blonde: I'm telling you for the last time,

I'm her sister!

My parents have been lying to me for years.

Officer: Just calm down.

I need you to explain a few things.

My mother and father, they got into a fight,

worse than usual.

And I could hear her screaming at him

from the bedroom

that I wasn't really her daughter.

She was screaming her name over and over again.

Diana. Her.

Officer: So how did you track this woman down?

I looked... on the adoption records.

Mom?

Blonde: That's my dad.

Just all of you stay here, OK?

What's going on?

Uh, Troy Boyle?

Yeah. How's my daughter?

Oh, she seems fine

but she's giving us a pretty wild story.

Right.

Troy?

- Hi. - Hi.

Oh, boy.

Francine, Kasey.

The first thing I need you to know is I never

wanted you to find out this way. I would never

have put either of you through this.

I gave birth to Kasey, and Troy was the father.

How is that even possible?

Kasey: He had an affair with her.

My mom never forgave him for it.

Sweetheart, that's not true.

Elle and I, we were unhappy,

but we were able to work through our problems.

Yeah, that worked out real well.

Kasey, your mom...

She's not my mother! That's my mother!

Fran: Kasey! Calm down, OK, please!

Oh, honey.

We agreed that Diana would have you,

and Elle and I would be your parents.

Diana was having some problems of her own

at the time and she just

wasn't able to take care of you.

And Elle can't have children of her own.

And that was always an issue between us.

Diana: I knew if Elle had a baby, it would make her happy

and maybe that would save Troy's marriage.

I wanted to make amends.

And then after, I knew I wanted a chid of my own.

So that's why I had you, honey with your father.

It was for all the right reasons.

Mom. I know that you probably meant well,

but she's right.

You've been keeping this from us since we were born.

I know.

It was a condition of the adoption agreement.

I legally couldn't say anything.

But... we're family.

And maybe that's what's important.

I know it doesn't excuse anything.

I just hope you can both forgive us.

Hey.

Yeah, I know it's late.

It went later than we thought.

And then Eddie tried to take all the cash for himself.

No, it wasn't a problem.

Somebody should've told him not to bring a knife

to a gunfight.

Getting another call. See you on the next one.

Hey.

I'm glad you called.

When can I see you?

Yeah? Whatever you want, you know that I'm in.

Just send me a picture of her so I know her when I see her.

OK.

Mom, I don't wanna be lectured.

It was only a matter of time before Kasey

found out the truth.

But this was the worse way this could've happened.

You could lose your daughter, and your husband.

Mother, I just...

Yeah, she's right, I mean

we've gotta do something about it.

Jake, you just calm down.

Your sister needs my counsel.

Elle, come and see me for breakfast

tomorrow morning. We'll discuss what to do.

All right.

It's bad. This is bad.

I mean, we've gotta do something.

This needs to be handled delicately.

I will not have you running around

like some loose cannon. Do I make myself clear?

What? So I'm just supposed to let

Diana Parker walk all over my big sister like it's nothing?

What the hell are we supposed to do?

You need to concern yourself with

getting back on your feet.

Now the only reason you are out of prison

right now is because of the letters I sent

to the state.

Look, I'm grateful for everything you've done

for me, Mother. But if Diana steals Troy away

from Elle again, she might not come back from it.

I mean, it practically killed her before!

I am aware of that.

But while you live under this roof,

you will mind me, Jake.

Will that be all, Gloria?

Yes, Andrew.

And thank you for the wonderful dinner.

We'll see you tomorrow.

You're very welcome.

Come here.

You are my children,

and I would do anything for you.

I will see to your sister's protection.

I promise.

Don't think you are excused

from your actions tonight, young lady!

We will be having a long talk.

I can't wait.

You will not speak to me in that voice!

You can go to hell, Mother!

So, how was Diana?

It was surreal,

and I could've used your support.

I don't think me being there would've helped.

Kasey wants to run away to that woman.

She's looking for the truth.

And that gives her a right

to curse me like that?

Of course not, but we both knew

that this was gonna happen.

We should've told her about Diana years ago.

I told you I wasn't ready.

And it festered and we argued for months,

and this is what happened.

Wow. Thank you. Thank you.

Elle, I know you're scared, OK?

And this seems like a big mess right now.

Troy, can you please just tell me the truth?

Please just tell me,

do you still have feelings for Diana?

Do you still love her? Just tell me!

I don't think I ever loved her.

And certainly not the way I love you.

What happened with Diana, it was so long ago.

Mom? Did you ever tell Dad about Kasey?

I did, but only after he got sick.

I wanted him to know the truth before he was gone.

I know this all happened before I was born,

But... she's my half-sister, my big sister.

We, we could've grown up together!

Honestly, I was ashamed.

And I know this sounds like excuses,

but I truly thought I was doing the right thing

at the time giving her up.

- Mom... - Come here.

I just need some time to think about this.

We both do.

Thank you, Andrew.

Thank you.

Please, give us an hour, then draw my bath.

Of course.

So where's Jake? I thought he'd be here.

He's at the garage this morning.

If he doesn't keep his job,

his parole could be revoked.

But right now, we need to focus on you.

Troy said he wouldn't leave me for Diana.

And you believe that?

He cheated on you with that woman.

You're raising her child!

Mother!

And now, Kasey's become a teenager.

And she's rebelling, just like you did with me.

When Kasey was little,

she used to idolize me, remember?

Hm.

But it all went bad.

And Troy, he somehow always seems to take her side.

This is a precarious situation.

You stand to lose way too much.

With Diana back, she could take everything from you.

I don't think I could bear that.

I promise, I won't let her, Elle.

I have already taken steps.

What steps?

It's better if you don't know, at least for now.

I will protect our family, and our future.

That is what's important.

Hey, nice shot! You're pretty good.

Thanks. I haven't seen you around here before.

Oh, I just moved here for college.

I'm Lynda, with a Y.

I'm Fran, with an F. Mm.

Oh! Hm. You're a funny one.

Hey, do you feel like some one on one?

Don: All right, the road trip's all set up.

We're meeting seventeen investors in Europe

and another two have been added to Italy.

If we don't make this 150 million dollars,

we are sunk.

Look, I got a lot of stuff going on at home

and this thing with Diana is just...

Troy. Seriously? You're the only guy

who can pull off these meetings.

It all hinges on you being there.

I'm doing the best that I can. All right?

But my marriage is on the rocks.

Yeah, well, whose fault is that?

I don't like where this conversation is going,

so I will see you tomorrow.

Your problems are becoming my problems, Troy.

You need to get your head on straight.

The whole future of the company depends on this.

I know what's at stake, Don.

Hey. It's me.

Can I see you?

No, Don. I told you not to call me anymore.

Please respect my wishes.

So why come all the way to Philly for school?

Ah, my mom moved here. I go wherever she goes.

Family loyalty is this big thing for me.

That's admirable. - Mm.

Not everyone feels that way.

Anyways, I should probably get going.

I have something I need to do on the way home.

But it was nice to meet you, Lynda,

and hope to see you again soon.

- Yeah, cool. - OK.

Hey, uh, friend me if you want.

My user name on Pix is Radgirl95.

Of course it is. See ya. - Bye.

Hey! How'd you know where I live?

Well, there's this fun and semi-informative thing

called the World Wide Web. Maybe you've heard of it.

I have heard of it. Let's sit.

OK.

I was kinda shocked to find out

that we live this close to one another.

Mom teaches on the other side of town,

and I go to school there too so

guess that's why we never met.

So that explains why she has summers off.

What do you mean?

Uh, OK, um, might as well tell you.

Um, a few days before I went into your house,

I was watching you guys, and I was just wondering

why she was home all the time. So.

Fran: That's Peg. She's my mom's sister, your aunt.

Wow! She's beautiful.

You'll have to meet her sometime because,

well, technically she's your family now too.

But anyways, I have to get going.

Going to meet your boyfriend or something?

No. I had a boyfriend, Peter, but

he turned out to be disappointing.

He hurt you?

He cheated with my best friend,

well, former best friend.

I've been finding it kind of hard

to trust people lately.

Sorry. Hey, I'm no stranger to disappointment.

This is to be continued.

OK. But I think that probably depends

on our parents.

Hey! Some chance is better than no chance, right?

Bye, Sis.

Bye. - Bye.

Diana: I don't know what I'll do without you, Peg.

You're a good woman, Diana.

What is it?

Troy. Seeing him again, all those emotions.

You still in love with him?

I don't know what I feel.

It's been so many years since we've seen each other.

It's just... It's complicated.

You'll know what to do when the time comes.

Jake! What are you doing here?

I just wanna talk. But you wouldn't let me in so...

What? You're gonna call 9-1-1, really?

Relax, all right. I come in peace.

The last time we spoke was anything but peaceful.

You told me if I messed with your family again,

you'd kill me.

Yeah. It was a long time ago.

K, I was a dumb kid, did a lot of dumb things,

got myself into trouble, but... there's something

that I learned when I went to prison.

You know, like there's other ways

that you can deal with... problems.

You have come to my house uninvited,

and I would like you to leave.

I have nothing to say to you.

Then I'll say it. My sister is Kasey's mother, not you.

All right, you may have given birth to that girl,

but Elle raised her.

I mean, she practically went insane when she found

out you were pregnant with Troy's kid.

So for her sake, and now that I think about it,

maybe yours too.

I'm gonna ask you nicely, respectfully.

Leave our family in peace.

I said leave.

Leave!

See you.

911. What's your emergency?

Kasey: You shouldn't drink.

It never ends well.

You're my daughter.

You don't get to pass judgement on me.

I am not your daughter. I never was.

Kasey, it's hard enough without...

Without what? The truth?

You never told me I was adopted!

Kasey, will you please just listen to me?

When you're a mom, you always think

that there will be time for these things.

You put it off. You hold onto every moment,

hoping that it'll last forever, and then,

then your little girl's a teenager

and it just gets so complicated.

You cannot blame me for this.

Honey, I'm not blaming anyone.

I'm just trying to tell you I'm sorry.

OK.

I'm trying to tell you that I love you.

No.

Gloria: The police woke me up asking questions about you.

Did you go to Diana's house?

Of course I didn't.

Do not lie to me, Jake!

She reported your intrusion to the law.

You really scared her, apparently.

Have you been drinking?

Oh, my God! Jake!

You have a hearing in just over a month.

If you keep messing up,

I won't be able to help you anymore,

and we won't be able to help each other.

Please, tell me you understand.

Yeah. Yeah, of course I understand.

Now, we need to get our story straight.

Tell me everything that happened tonight,

in detail, and no more lying, please.

Hey, Hon. Can I come in?

Well, uh...

I just had a conversation with your mother,

and she told me about the fight you had last night.

Please leave me alone.

You all lied to me.

You know, I remember when you were a little girl,

you had nightmares all the time.

You were so afraid of the dark.

I was afraid of everything.

Your mother would come into your room

and sit up with you all night, every night.

It was so important for her to know that you felt safe.

I get why you're saying all this, but it just...

Just hear me out, OK?

I know that a lot of mothers and daughters

go to war at your age.

But you need to know that we love you;

We've always loved you, we always will.

You are my flesh and blood, Kasey.

But Elle chose to be your mother with all her heart.

And you need to know that we will protect you

from everything that you're afraid of.

I promise.

It's gonna be OK.

It's OK.

Elle! Hi! It's been a long time.

Yes, it has.

Uh, please, come in.

Your daughter looks lovely.

You must be very proud of her.

You should be very proud too.

I heard you've done an amazing job with Kasey.

I don't think I've done that much good at all.

I fear I've driven her away from me

and now she's seeking you out. And Troy, he's...

Elle, if you're worried about Troy and I,

what happened between us was a long time ago.

That's what he said.

He claims he doesn't have any feelings for you,

but I know that can't be true.

There are all kinds of feelings,

but I would never again try to take what is yours.

You did it before. - I know.

I was foolish. But, but in the end,

you got something beautiful out of it

because of what happened.

So I'm supposed to say thank you?

No. I'm sorry. I did not mean...

Do you have any idea what it was like for me

when my husband told me that you were pregnant

with his child when I couldn't even have one?

I'm sorry.

Sorry for raising my voice.

Kasey's your daughter, not mine.

And as for everything going on, I honestly think

she's just trying to find a piece of herself

that was missing.

We can't blame our girls for wanting to be sisters.

They're inheriting a legacy that we gave them

for better or worse.

I would die for my family, for my daughter,

and I know you would too, Elle.

But I just ask that we remember that it's,

it's not about what we believe is ours,

but the futures of those girls

that we would do anything to protect.

Hi. I hope I'm not interrupting something.

Hi, honey. Um, this is Kasey's mother, Elle.

It's nice to meet you.

I should be going.

Uh, it was nice to meet you too.

Well, that was awkward.

Honey, I don't know what's gonna happen with all this,

but I just want you to know I am trying my best

to make peace.

Can we talk about it?

Mom, I don't...

Sorry. It's just Lynda.

Oh, your new basketball buddy?

Yeah.

Well, I'd love to meet her, if that's all right.

Why don't you invite her

to our little dinner party tonight?

Mom, why are you making peace

by inviting my new friends?

No. I, I just thought it would be nice

for you to have her over.

OK.

Gloria: I don't know when I went wrong with Jake.

He could've had such a better future.

You gave him everything for him to be great in life.

You have nothing to feel guilty for.

I wish Harry was still alive.

Jake was so close to his dad.

And Elle was such a good girl.

She never deserved what her husband did to her.

And I am so afraid

it's all going to blow up in her face again.

Elle can be strong, but a divorce will leave her

with nothing to live for.

It's not your fault. You've been a good mother.

And good to me.

If you hadn't used your connections

with that hospital, my daughter might not even

be alive right now.

I believe we must always stand by our family.

You've been with me a long time, Andrew.

That means you're family too.

Thank you.

Hey.

I miss you.

I know we can't have contact right now but...

Yeah. I understand.

I have good news though.

I'm in, and I know exactly what to do.

I'm only giving you five minutes.

Nice to see you too, Elle.

Look, we managed to get through a whole year

without anyone knowing what happened,

so let's please try to keep it that way.

It was one kiss at a cocktail party.

We were both lonely; It's not like we had an affair.

You cyber-stalked me for a month after that.

Yeah, well, that was then.

And that's not the problem. Troy's the problem.

He's about to blow off our fundraiser road trip

and destroy the company.

I need you to talk some sense into him.

Don, I've got my own problems. I...

If this deal doesn't happen,

all of our livelihoods go up in smoke.

Everything ends, Elle.

And if you don't help me fix this,

I may be forced to do something radical.

I don't like threats. - Yeah, well, neither do I,

but I'm gonna do what it takes.

The wheels are already in motion so... fair warning.

Good bye, Don. Don't ever call me again.

Peg: I'm gonna keep you on bread duty.

Let's just add a touch of parmesan cheese,

a little bit more, before we serve, OK?

Hello! - Hi.

You must be Lynda.

Guilty as charged.

Come on in.

Look who I found.

Hi.

Hi.

Diana: And that's my sister, Peg

behind all that spaghetti sauce.

Hello.

Hi, Peg.

This is, uh, actually her party.

It's kind of a going-away thing.

I'm getting on a plane for Hawaii tomorrow.

Three weeks of surf and sunshine.

My friend Megan is letting me use

her timeshare condo there.

Oh, cool. I'm totally jealous.

OK, well, everyone, before it gets cold, let's go eat.

Whoo! Mmm.

Hey.

Wanna talk?

Yeah.

Great. So, Troy, I, uh, I talked with Don.

Oh.

He, he actually wanted me to talk to you

about the road trip.

Look, I don't think I should go away right now,

not when things are so bad with Kasey.

Well, actually, maybe some time apart

is exactly what we need.

And he seemed really worried.

Ha! Look, I could care less what Don wants.

He made a move on you.

And I dealt with it.

But you know how hot-headed he gets.

I don't know. I think he's gonna do something foolish.

Like what?

Please, Troy, will you just

will you just go on the trip?

Your business needs the investors

and it'll be good for all of us.

Just... think it over?

So, Honey, Fran tells me you're from Austin.

Yeah.

You don't have a Texas accent.

Oh, no, neither do my parents.

It's kind of a myth that we all sound like

chicken-fried steak. So...

Oh, the Magnolia Café there is wonderful.

Sorry. What?

Oh, it's that, uh, famous breakfast restaurant

near the capital?

I went there when I visited a friend once.

I've never been. - Oh.

And you grew up in Austin? Interesting.

Fran: God, Peg, give her a break.

Oh, I am just asking this intriguing young lady

to tell us a bit more about herself.

Well, I can tell you that I don't like pancakes.

Could you direct me to the nearest ladies' room?

Yes. It's just down the hall through there.

OK.

Diana: So, Fran, how old is Lynda?

Fran: Uh, not sure,

But she's going to college here.

Oh! I'm gonna be right back.

What are you doing in here?

Lynda: I just needed a second away from everyone.

I get panic attacks sometimes.

Oh. Well, I hope you're OK, honey.

It's a nice ride, huh?

Helped Diana pick out the colour.

Yeah, it's awesome. I like cars.

Yeah.

Well, I'm sorry if we seemed nosey earlier.

I know how stressful it can be

meeting a roomful of new people.

Yeah.

Yeah. OK.

Ah, what a shame! Diana was never good at housekeeping.

Litter everywhere but in the trashcan.

And that's that.

Well, thank you for all your kind hospitality.

Any time.

Drive safe.

Yeah.

Bye.

See ya. - Bye.

So, Peg, did I sense some distrust of our new friend?

I haven't made up my mind yet.

She's very... interesting.

Anyway, I'd better get going myself. So...

It's still early.

I know and I have to be on a plane

in less than eight hours, OK?

I'll see you when I get back. OK?

Oh!

You two, hm? Take care of each other, OK?

OK.

All right. Love you.

I love you. - Love you.

Bye.

Have fun. - I will.

Bye.

Hey. I think I messed up. The aunt saw something.

It could definitely be a problem if she puts

two and two together after the accident.

I'm at her place right now.

OK. Done.

Hello, Jake. Did you pick up my prescription?

I forgot. I'm sorry.

I had a lot to do at the garage. I'm sorry.

I know there's something else going on with you.

Nothing's going on. I, I just...

I know you feel you must protect your sister.

We both feel that.

But I have set things in motion

that will take care of everything.

You need to trust me on this.

If someone's in here,

I advise you come out now.

Oh!

Agh!

You're a good woman, Peg.

You don't deserve this. You just

saw too much.

Honey, we're out of milk.

I'm gonna make a quick run to the store before bed.

Oh, let me, please?

You only have your learner's permit.

I have to go with you.

Come on, Mom.

Please?

OK.

But come right back. And no hot rodding.

As If I would dream of it.

What the hell? What's wrong with my brakes?

No.

Oh, my God!

No, no! No! No!

Fern: I feel so stupid.

Well, you were very lucky.

It could've been much worse.

Troy texted, says he wants to bring Kasey over

in the morning.

I'd really like that.

Come here.

Kasey: We're so glad you're OK.

Fran: Yeah. They said I was really lucky.

The car is pretty busted, though.

Thank you both for coming.

Uh, Elle sends her best.

Oh, sweetheart. Uh, Troy,

why don't we give the girls a minute?

Uh, would you mind if we had a chat?

No, not at all. See ya.

Gloria: Thank goodness nobody was killed.

Elle: Yeah, I just feel like it's a sign.

You know, Kasey really wants us t

o bring our families together.

I'm thinking maybe that's not such a bad idea.

Is Jake there with you?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm here.

I was thinking Diana's car, you think

maybe you could help fix it as a show of our support?

I'll think about it.

Please do, Jake.

I'll talk to you tomorrow. Bye.

How are things going?

We need to step this up.

Diana: I've been thinking a lot about the past.

I remember when we first met.

I think collided would be more accurate.

There we were exchanging insurance info

and my car was total led.

Ah, I was so angry. I couldn't believe it

when a brand-new Toyota showed up in my driveway

the next day.

I nearly killed you.

I mean, it was the least I could do.

And who would think

we'd get along so well after that?

When Elle caught us together, I was so ashamed.

And then her brother showed up making all those threats

and I just, I wrote the whole thing off

as a mistake and then. Suddenly I was pregnant.

I'd like to think we're different people now but...

I don't know if we ever stop ruminating

over certain decisions.

Do you regret what happened?

No. No, it was good. We were good.

And maybe it's selfish, but it just kinda seemed

like you and I made sense at the time.

And I still feel connected to you

but in a different way, you know?

Me too.

Whatever happens, I could never be the other woman

ever again, but we have the tie that binds.

Kasey will always be the beautiful thing

that we made together.

She will.

Kasey: So... things have pretty much scorched earth

with my mom. I just...

I never know what to say to her.

We always seem to rub each other the wrong way,

no matter what.

Yeah. The adults in this clan,

they kinda failed us, didn't they?

Maybe we're supposed to be the adults now.

And we have to figure out this whole big mess.

I know, right?

Well, when we're together, you and me,

this whole thing feels a lot easier,

you know, with a big sister.

Yeah.

Troy: So it's all good now?

Well, it's been a bit tense between Jake and I,

but he says he'll have my car fixed in a few days,

and they even gave me a rental.

Um, I'm sorry you had to go through all this.

How you holding up?

I just feel so responsible.

But I'll be OK. We all will.

Thank you for checking in.

You're welcome, Diana. Hope to see you and Fran soon.

Bye, Troy. - Bye-bye.

Hey. - Hey.

So everything's OK?

Yes. But it's not OK with you, is it?

Sorry. It's just...

It's just strange, you talking to that woman.

I wanna make peace; I really do. I just...

I know.

I can't help thinking.

Thinking what?

That this brings Diana closer to us?

Look, I'm ashamed for feeling this way,

but I... I can't help it. I'm sorry.

Elle. I married you because you see the best in people,

and that's what made you say yes to raising Kasey.

She has all of your best qualities,

and she's brilliant.

Ah, dammit. Uh.

Great timing, man.

Don: You haven't been to the office

and it's battle stations over here.

Yeah, well, I told you I need time.

We don't have time.

The road trip's been set up. We start in Italy.

If we don't, the company's finished.

We lose everything.

Be on a plane to Europe tomorrow.

I'm serious.

If you can't take charge of your own life,

I'll take charge of it for you.

Oh, right, yeah, like you took charge of my wife.

She told you about it, huh?

Yeah, she did, a long time ago.

But we're all adults now, right, Don? Bye.

Peg phone greeting: Hey, kids. I'm out saving

the world, so leave a message.

Hey, Peg. It's Diana.

It's, um, it's been a bit of a rough time here.

I was hoping we could chat.

Uh, listen. Could you please let me know

if you got checked into Megan's condo OK?

I just wanna make sure you're all right.

Hey. Listen, uh,

I just wanna say there's no hard feelings

and I'll have your car fixed up good as new.

No charge.

Well. Uh, thank you.

Give my best to your daughter.

I will.

Lynda: I think messing with their car was a mistake.

No, listen. These people, they're not stupid.

They're gonna figure it out sooner or later.

They're gonna figure out

that we're working together. It's...

Look, you know that I would do anything for this but.

OK. I'll take care of it.

Mom? Are you OK?

Yeah. Yeah. I'm just, uh,

I'm a little worried that Peg never called me back.

She sent this response to my text but it just,

it doesn't sound like her.

There's no jokes or anything.

Huh. I tried calling her friend from work,

the one whose condo she's using,

but she didn't pick up.

A lot of people ignore numbers

they don't recognize.

Yeah. Well, Peg left her co-worker's address

in town. It's not that far.

Maybe I'll just drive over there

and see if she's heard anything.

I can't stop thinking about the accident.

It should've been me. I'm so sorry.

Don't talk like that.

It's like you said; None of us saw that coming.

I love you, honey.

I know, Mom.

Where you going, Diana?

Unfriendly voice: Yes? Who is it?

Uh, it's Diana Parker.

Hi. Uh, I, I tried calling earlier a few times.

I'm Peg Bannister's sister.

Oh, I-sorry. I didn't get your call.

I've been home sick all day. I turned off my phone.

Ah, I don't mean to intrude.

Um, I won't bother you. I was just wondering

if you'd heard from Peg.

No, I haven't.

Oh! In fact, I don't think she checked in

to my timeshares,

at least that's what my people over there said.

Anyway, I thought she cancelled her trip.

She, she never checked in at all?

Look, we both know Peg, OK?

She probably met a guy and went off

on some romantic adventure or something.

I have to admit that does kinda sound like Peg.

Uh, anyway, thank you so much for your time.

Good luck.

Peg: Hey, kids.

I'm out saving the world, so leave a message.

OK, Peg. I'm officially freaking out.

You never checked in at the condo?

Can you please just text me or call me

and let me know what's happening?

Ah!

Oh, my God! Thank you!

Oh, my God! Mom, are you OK?

I'll be fine. I, I wasn't hurt.

Well, should I call someone?

Are you sure you're OK?

No. You just stay put.

I'll be home soon and then we can chat more.

Did you see his face? Do you know who it was?

No. It, it just happened so fast.

Listen, I need to check if the police have

any more questions for me, OK?

Mom? - Yes, sweetie.

I love you.

I love you too, honey, so much.

She's fine. She's spooked.

Kasey: It's weird.

First the car; Now this.

Do they know what went wrong with the engine?

Not yet, hopefully soon.

I need to blow off some steam.

Go shoot some hoops with Lynda.

You wanna meet us at the park?

I have some stuff to do here right now,

but soon, OK? I wanna see you.

Yeah, me too.

OK, tough girl. Be careful out there.

OK. Bye.

Mom! Are you OK?

Oh, yeah. I got a text from Peg.

Apparently, she stayed with another friend out there,

so I was worried for nothing.

But are you OK?

Maybe I'm a little in shock still.

They say when something like that happens,

your whole life flashes before your eyes.

And did it?

Not really.

I'm gonna go to the park. Is that OK?

Come here first.

What is it?

This is a copy of a lawsuit that your mother

is serving Diana with.

Did you know anything about this?

No! What?

Yeah. She's claiming that Diana broke

the original agreement in the NDA and she's suing

to keep her away from you and Kasey.

No, I can't believe this.

I never told my mother to do this.

Well, we have to fix it and you need to call her.

Well, I don't know if I can fix it.

I don't know if I can stop her.

Honey, you have to! This is nuts.

I gotta get on a plane this afternoon with Don,

which is the absolute last thing

I wanna be doing right now. But if I don't go,

who knows what happens to the company.

I know. OK. I'm gonna call her right away.

I'm sorry, Troy. I really thought

that we were working all of this out.

I don't know why she did this.

Hey, it's not your fault, OK?

We're gonna fix it. Come here. We're gonna fix it.

I love you.

I love you too.

So, she got jumped? Did she see the guy's face?

Did she give the police a description or something?

No. He, uh, he got away clean.

Look, I'd rather not think about it right now.

OK. Focus on me.

Concentrate on getting the ball, OK?

OK. You're too tall.

It's not about size; It's about style. Come on.

Lynda: Nice!

Yeah.

Uh, well, it's getting late so I should probably go.

OK. Hey, uh, grab your stuff.

I'll give you a ride.

OK.

Oh! Um, here. I gotta get this. It's school.

OK.

What?

Yeah, I'm with her now.

OK.

OK. Here. Sorry about that.

That place is gonna be the death of me.

Yeah.

Gloria: Elle, listen to me.

Elle: No, mother. You do not understand how I feel

and you need to back off!

How did you feel before when this all happened?

Your world was shattered. You ended up in therapy.

Don't you see? I am protecting our family.

That's not the kind of protection that I want,

so just stop!

I'll call you soon.

OK. Hey, I'm right here for you.

Thanks.

Kasey, there you are. Can we talk, please?

Um, sure.

Honey, I want you to know that your grandmother

is starting some trouble with Diana.

What kind of trouble?

She's suing her on what she says is my behalf,

but I'm not going along with it.

Wait. You're OK with Diana being in our lives?

I know it's what you and Francine want.

Mom. I've never wanted Diana to be my mother.

I just, I just. I wanted to know where I came from.

That's all.

Well, maybe there's a lesson there for all of us.

Maybe Diana should be your mother also.

She gave birth to you.

She was noble enough to let us raise you.

That means she's a good woman.

We're so lucky to all be together, both families.

Ah, I love you.

Um, hello?

Hey. I just got copied on your lawsuit from Gloria.

Please tell me you're not going along with this, Troy.

Ha. Of course not.

I talked to my lawyer about it

and he thinks the case is flimsy at best.

I'm going to Europe for two weeks, leaving tonight,

but I have my best people working on it

so don't worry. We're gonna fix this.

I wanna trust you but...

Diana, talk to me.

All of the things that have been happening,

the car wreck, the mugging,

what if they're all connected?

You think Gloria might have something to do with it?

Anything is possible but, I mean,

I'm more concerned about her son, Jake.

It could've been him that attacked me the other night.

What do you wanna do about it?

I'm not sure. Just get in touch when you're back, OK?

All right. Talk to you soon..

Bye.

No word from Diana. A bit surprised.

I told you it wouldn't work.

We need action, not legal papers.

Calm down. This is just the beginning.

I'm making a run to the grocery store.

Oh, good. I'll text you if I can think

of anything else we need.

I'm taking a nap. Please, don't do anything foolish.

Kasey: It could just be a big coincidence.

But that sure does look like the pearl

from Peg's necklace.

The thing is, what was it doing in Lynda's car?

Could she have stolen it somehow?

I mean, how long have you really known this girl?

Not long. But maybe it's worth looking deeper into?

What do you have in mind?

Well, for starters, we have to keep this to ourselves.

Mom's already upset enough and I don't wanna worry her

more until we know for sure.

But if we do find real proof, then...

How can I help?

I'm not sure yet, but I'll let you know.

Whatever happens,

I think I need to check out Peg's house.

OK. Uh, I can look into Lynda's social media

while you do that. Do you have a last name on her?

You know what? I never even asked.

But her Pix handle is Radgirl-95,

so maybe that's a start.

Hello, Lynda.

Hi, Dad.

We need to talk.

Lynda: I still remember that night

when I was seven, what Mom tried to do to me.

I just-I can see it so clearly.

She's dead and gone.

You saved my life from her.

But I owe Gloria too for getting me to the hospital

after all that.

You used to say,

"All those who suffer deserve happiness."

I remember, and I also said that a daughter's love

is a man's greatest reward.

Gloria Krauss is our reward

for having gone through all that.

One day, we'll be a real family, all of us.

I'll marry her, perhaps.

I feel we're growing closer all the time.

Good.

But we must save her daughter.

Diana Parker must die so that Elle doesn't suffer,

and that no one can be the wiser,

not Gloria, not anyone.

How are we gonna do it? Another mugging?

It must seem like a natural death, a heart attack.

Understand?

Yeah.

Can I count on you?

Of course.

You took a life for me and I'll do the same.

Good.

I won't fail you again.

I won't stop until it's done. I promise.

Diana: I don't like you coming home

when it's dark outside! I would prefer

if you would just stay home tonight.

I just wanna go to the movies.

I understand that, but I am worried.

Too many strange things have been happening.

So we're just supposed to hide at home forever?

No. Look, I know I'm being overcautious.

But could you just humour your mother, please?

All right. I'll stay home, Mom.

Francine, I see that look on your face.

Hm.

Elle: Hey, honey. Still awake?

Yeah. Just thinking.

What ya thinking about?

I'm not supposed to tell. Fran told me not to.

Oh! Keeping secrets with your little sister already, huh?

That's kinda sweet.

I didn't know you knew Lynda Tisdale.

She's a friend of Fran's.

Small world.

Uh, what do you mean?

Checking in again, Mother?

It's late. You're still at work?

Yeah. Working on Diana's car.

There's something funny about the engine though.

It looks like it might've been tampered with.

You mean

someone might've caused the accident to happen.

Maybe. Gotta get a little more dirty

to find out for sure. I'll be late.

This is shocking.

Please let me know what else you find. I love you.

Love you too, Mom.

Hey. What's up? I just got to Aunt Peg's.

Have you gone it yet?

Like have you found anything weird?

Not yet.

What's wrong?

I just found out that Lynda is related

to my grandmother's caretaker.

Like, that's his daughter.

How the hell did you find that out?

My mom just told me.

I've met Andrew lots of times but

I never knew that was his daughter.

Anyways. But I think it's just a coincidence,

but she gave me her last name

and I'm looking into her right now.

She told me she moved here with her mom.

She lied. I'm going into the house.

Just stay on the line, OK? I'm starting to get

a really bad feeling about this.

OK. Peg gave me a key for emergencies so...

I guess this qualifies.

My daughter called just now.

Uh, she needs some help at her house.

Uh, would you be OK by yourself

for an hour or two?

It's no problem.

Please, tell her hello. It's been far too long.

Yes, it has been.

I know Lynda's had a hard time

and she's a very private person, but I would love it

if she could meet my granddaughter someday.

I think they would get along well.

Yes, I do too. That would be lovely.

I am devoted to you, Gloria, and this family.

I hope you know that.

Yes, of course. Thank you, Andrew.

We think you're very special also.

Thank you.

Kasey: Find anything?

No, but I'll check Peg's bedroom.

Honey, I'm gonna make a little snack.

Are you hungry?

Honey?

Oh, my God.

What is it?

I just looked up Lynda in the public data search.

Fran. She has a criminal record.

No way.

Arrested for assault, twice.

Fran?

Do you want something to eat?

Fran: I'll check the basement.

Oh, God.

Are you there?

Oh, my God!

Fran, talk to me!

I found more pearls.

They match.

Something must've happened to Peg,

right here in this house.

Kasey, I, I have to call you back.

Oh, thank God! Are you OK?

Where are you?

I'm fine, Mom. I'm at Aunt Peg's.

What? Why?

Look, it's a long story, but Kasey and I think

that Lynda might've done something to Peg.

Lynda? Your new friend? Why would she...

You know what, honey, just stay there.

I'm gonna come get you, OK? Don't move.

I'll call a ride share.

I'm gonna be back in ten minutes.

OK. Hurry back. I love you.

I love you too, Mom.

Jake. Why are you calling so late?

I, um, I found something in your fuel tank.

Traces of bleach.

Bleach? What does that mean?

It means somebody has it in for you, Diana. Look.

Has anyone been to your house that you don't trust?

You mean besides you?

Diana, I'm sorry for all that,

I am, but this is serious.

Oh.

Oh what?

Uh, Fran just told me something that

might tie into this. I have to call you back.

Yeah. Yeah, OK.

There is an explanation for all this.

Andrew, what the hell are you talking about?

What are you even doing here?

I came to put my cards on the table, so to speak.

I know you're like me, Jake.

You're devoted to your sister and your mother.

You love them dearly, as do I.

So I hope you'll hear what I have to say.

Driver, take Band Avenue. It's faster.

Jake: So you're saying it's been you this whole time?

Your daughter fixed the car. She attacked Diana.

Diana's a ruiner. She'll seduce Troy all over again.

And he'll leave Elle and that'll destroy her.

I can't let that happen. You can't let that happen.

So I'm supposed to cover this up?

Let you get away with attempted murder?

You're gonna have to see that

my way is the only way.

You gotta be out of your mind if you think

I'm gonna go through with this.

Don't be a fool, Jake.

Is that a threat?

No. I just can't let the truth come out.

I have my own family to protect.

After tonight, it won't matter.

What happens tonight?

Hey. You've reached Diana Parker.

Please leave your message. Thanks.

Diana, call me back.

There's something messed up you need to know about now.

Just please call me back.

I'm gonna call my sister too.

Oh, my God.

Detective: The victim was found in a shallow grave

in a wooded area near a construction site,

meaning someone was in a hurry.

Did you get that ID for me yet?

Peggy Bannister. OK. I'll inform the family.

Elle: Wait.

What are you saying?

Andrew's been trying to kill Diana?

That's insane!

Listen. I know how it sounds.

You gotta trust me.

He said there's something happening tonight.

O K, you're only a few minutes away from the house.

You gotta get to Diana now.

I'll be there as soon as I can.

Just don't take any chances.

OK, OK. I'm leaving right now.

And I'm coming with you, Mom.

There's more you need to know.

OK.

Drive faster. Something bad's about to happen.

I know it!

Calm down. It's gonna be OK.

Phone? Dammit.

Lynda, what are you doing?

Oh, my God!

Mom!

Don't move!

I'm gonna walk right out of here

and you're never gonna see me again.

And don't you dare try and follow me.

Hey! Hey! Wait. Stop. Just give me one second.

The car went dead because of something you did?

It was meant for me, wasn't it?

And you did something to Peg too!

What did you do to Peg?

What did you do?

I found this in your car.

She knew too much.

You killed her?

And your mother is a monster.

She's trying to destroy our family.

That's why she has to pay.

I know your father made you do this,

Andrew Tisdale, but, but why?

It doesn't matter! It's what he wants!

Stop! Lynda, I called 9-1-1. It's over, Lynda!

Screw you!

Is everyone OK?

I think we will be.

Diana: Yeah. All right!

Here we go.

So Kasey and I decided to apply to the same college.

Troy: Kasey will be all settled in

when you become a freshman.

Yeah, so I'll know all the ropes when she shows up.

Good point! - Mm-hm.

Perks of having a big sister.

Totally.

Hey, you OK?

You've just been quiet all morning.

I-I'm sorry.

I've just been thinking about Mother.

She's still having a really hard time

with everything that happened.

She feels like she failed

by letting Andrew into our lives.

But we were lucky. We still are.

That's what Peg would've said.

Elle: Diana, thank you so much.

For everything you've given me.

All right. Well, let's cheers to us, guys.

Yes!

Cheers!

All of us!

I have a really good joke.
