Nanny Sees All, The (2025)

Post by bunniefuu »

(police radio

chatter and sirens)

Her name was Yasmin Davis.

I recognize her from town.

She died from a g*nsh*t

wound to the chest.

Call the mayor. He should

be informed right away.

You got it, detective.



(gentle music)

(phone rings)

Hi, babe.

Hey, you. I just wanted to make

sure you got into Rivertown OK.

I just made it to Andrea's Cafe.

Good. Well, uh, I

miss you already.

The house feels

empty without you.

I miss you too. But three

weeks will go by fast.

I'm so excited to see Andrea!

I missed her in Philadelphia.

Yeah! How long has it been?

Four years now since

she's moved back.

Well, I will let you head

in. But text me later, OK?

Bye!



(door opens and closes)

(restaurant music)

Andrea!

Grace, you made it!

Oh, it's so good to see you!

(sigh)

This place is beautiful!

It's even better

than in the pictures!

(chuckle) Thank

you! Here, sit down.

How are you? Was the drive OK?

- It's great.

Uh, let me order you a coffee.

- Oh, thanks.

Uh, hey! Can we get

her a coffee, please?

Thank you.

Thank you so much for getting

me this job with Alex Turner.

It came at the perfect time.

No problem. I'm just

glad it worked out.

I still can't believe

he became Mayor.

Have you talked to

Alex since high school?

Not at all.

I haven't seen him

since he graduated,

and he was a few

years ahead of us.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Oh, there he is now.

God, he looks stressed.

I would not want to be

in his shoes right now.

Why? What do you mean?

Do you remember Craig

Davis from school?

Yeah. He lived a few

blocks over from me.

His sister Yasmin was

found dead in the woods

on the outskirts of town.

Oh, my God. That's terrible.

- Yeah, I know.

And she was working with Alex

in the mayor's office.

She was really well-liked.

How long ago did they find her?

About four months ago. But they

still haven't arrested anyone.

I mean, people want answers.

Things like that

just don't happen here.

Hey. Alex.

(door closes)

The regular?

Yes, please.

That'd be great..

Grace. Wonderful to see you.

You too.

It's been a long time.

- Yeah!

I'm looking forward to meeting

Emily and Andy in person.

They're looking

forward to it as well.

They liked you a lot

when you guys Facetimed.

I feel like we've done

a thousand interviews

for a permanent nanny.

Um, Emily's very

protective of Andy.

And so she's very careful

who she lets close to him.

Well, that's awesome.

I'm happy to help.

I'm sorry. My phone's been

blowing up nonstop lately.

Oh. Emily can't pick up

Andy from school today.

I'm gonna call my

mom and see if she...

Why don't I pick him up?

That's why I'm here, right?

I mean...

It's no trouble

at all. Seriously.

I can pick up Andy and I'll just

unpack later when he's in bed.

That'd be an amazing

help. Thank you.

Thanks, Andrea.

You're welcome.

Uh, look, I've gotta run.

(chair scrapes)

Here are your house keys.

I'll have our housekeeper,

Louise, give you a call

with the details

about Andy's school.

I've already added you

to the pickup list.

But call me or Louise

if you have any trouble.

Got it.

Right. I'll see you tonight.

Great. Thanks.

Thank you, Andrea.

Bye! (Chuckle)



See! I told you!

It's gonna be great.

Gonna be great.

- Yeah!

(chuckle)

Wow. Your house

is gorgeous, Andy.

It's all right.

(chuckle) It's a little

more than all right,

Oh, my God!

When are Mom and

Dad gonna be home?

I'm not sure exactly.

They should be home in

time for dinner, though.

Wanna see my rock collection?

Sure.

Not so fast.

Hi, Grandma.

You must be the temporary nanny?

Yes. I'm Grace.

Grace Clarkson, right?

Well, Grace Anderson now.

I'm Vivian, Alex's mother.

It's good to meet you.

I remember your parents.

We sold their house when

they moved to Philadelphia.

Oh! Small world.

And you need to work

on your school project;

Your presentation is

right around the corner.

How far along are you?

I haven't started.

Why don't I help out? I'm

a third-grade teacher.

So I'm a pro.

Why don't we come up with

something together? Hm? Yeah?

(pensive music)

(rustling paper)

So, you used to be a teacher?

I still am! But

I'm a writer too,

so I'm gonna focus

on that for now.

So, you need a

school project, huh?

Well, it should

be something fun.

What are you interested

in? Volcanos? Space?

(clears throat)

Colin! Can we have pizza

for dinner tonight?

I will see what I can whip up.

Hi, I'm Colin. House chef.

Hi, I'm Grace.

Nice to meet you.

You too.

Mhm.

(chuckles)

(receding footsteps)

So, you like pizza, huh?

You know, I went to

Rome a few years ago.

Best pizza of my life.

I'm Italian like my dad.

That's why we love pizza.

(laughs) That's awesome!

Hey, maybe you can do your

project on your ancestry.

I could help you and we

make a whole family tree.

I do it with my students

in school every year.

We could even get

a mail-in DNA test,

so you know what percentage

Italian you are!

Cool!

(foreboding music)

Oh, I didn't see you there.

Oh, is that a family

tree? How fun!

You must be Louise.

It's nice to finally meet you.

Yes. Lovely to have you here.

You know, Andy's been

struggling a little

since our last nanny left.

It'll be good to get him

back into a routine again.

Yeah.

Alex called to let me

know that he and Emily

are on their way home.

Dinner's about to be served.

Perfect. Andy's just

washing his hands.

We'll meet in the dining room.

Great.

So where do you usually sit?

I usually sit there. Dad

sits there, Mom sits there

and Grandma sits there.

Guess I'll sit here!

Emily: That's a great point.

Alex: So we agree. He's

on the invite list.

Yes.

Hi, Grace, nice to finally

meet you in person.

Andrea had nothing but lovely

things to say about you.

We're so glad she

suggested you for the job.

Blast from the past! (Laughs)

(laughs) I'm happy to be here.

(phone rings)

Hello!

Hey, it's me.

How's everything going?

It's really great.

Andy is awesome and

Emily is so sweet.

We're all getting

along really well here.

I'm glad. I finally have

someone on the inside.

What do you mean?

The Turners are

really secretive.

I've always been curious

about what goes on

behind closed doors.

You are so nosey. I'm not

going to spy on them for you.

Anyways, everyone else in

the house seems really nice.

I think I'll like it here.

Good. You should come

by the cafe tomorrow.

I will! I'll stop by after

I drop Andy off at school.

Perfect. I'll see you then.

Bye!

(foreboding music)



Grace.

(dark music)

How you settling in?

You scared me. (Chuckle)

Sorry, I was just

sneaking out for a smoke.

It's no problem.

Andy's a great kid, huh?

Yeah. He's a little

shy, but he'll warm up.

How long have you

been working here?

About six months.

Any tips while I'm here?

Yes. Don't get on

Vivian's bad side.

Yeah. She doesn't

seem very... warm.

Yeah. Well, don't

take it the wrong way.

She's just like that.

Alex would never admit it,

but Vivian's the one who

calls the shots around here.

Hm! Good to know. Thanks.

No problem.



(restaurant music)

(chair scrapes)



Thought you forgot about

me for a second there.

It took longer than

expected, dropping off Andy

because I was introducing

myself to the teaching staff.

No problem. Here's your coffee.

(dark sting)

That's why you're amazing.

I know. How was your first

night at the Turners?

I want the tea.

It was good. Everyone's

really nice. I was surprised.

You're working at the

Turners' house? Since when?

Sorry, who are you?

I was Andy's nanny. Up until

a couple weeks ago anyways.

Looks like it didn't take

them long to replace me.

Victoria, you're

the one who quit.

Grace hasn't done

anything wrong.

Yeah, I didn't mean to

step on anyone's toes.

You must have had to

pull a lot of strings

to get hired into

that household.

I'm not sure what

you're getting at.

They needed a nanny

and I'm here to help.

(scoff) Yeah, sure.

Victoria, I think you need

to give Grace a break.

What the hell was that?

People are staring.

Don't take it personally.

Well, if she's so upset

that I'm working there,

why did she quit

in the first place?

She hasn't really

been herself lately.

She's going through a hard time.

Why?

Yasmin was Victoria's

best friend.

Oh.

(brooding music)

(door closes)

Oh! Hello, Grace.

- Hi, Emily.

How are you enjoying being

back in your hometown?

It feels good.

So, you're not

missing home too much?

Not too much. I do

miss James though.

But he has a meeting

in a town close by,

so I'll see him when

he passes through.

James is your

husband, I suppose?

Yes! Sorry. Yes.

James Anderson.

I don't think you would know

him. He's from Philadelphia.

It's not like Rivertown where

everybody knows everybody.

I certainly don't miss that

aspect of a small town.

What do you mean?

Did something happen?

Not really. I just, um...

I just ran into your

ex-nanny, Victoria?

Yeah. She seemed upset and

things got a little tense.

People were staring.

I'm sorry. This town is full of

gossip, so rumors will spread.

But they'll die down eventually.

Everyone is just a

little on edge right now,

after what happened to Yasmin.

(murmur)

Especially Victoria.

If you don't mind me asking,

why did Victoria quit?

Well, she wasn't

with us a long time.

About six months or so?

It was her first nannying job

and she ultimately decided

that it wasn't for her.

I understand that. Everyone

deserves to discover

what they're truly

passionate about.

(phone chimes)

Yes! Oh.

I'm sorry. I have to run.

Oh! Alex and I are

working late tonight

so I gave Colin the night

off. I hope you don't mind?

That's all right. Andy

and I can order in.

Great. I'll see you later.

(door opens and closes)

(birdsong)

(gentle music)

(rippling water)

(birdsong)

(gentle music darkens)

(crescendo)

(crescendo fades)

(rushing water)

(door slides open and closed)

Hey!

What's going on?

I think I dreamed that someone

was hiding in the shed.

It felt so real that I was

scared to get my soccer ball.

Oh, no! You should

have asked me.

You're heading out early today.

Yeah. I promised Andy we'd go

play in the park before school.

Are you feeling any better?

Pardon?

Louise mentioned that you

weren't feeling well last night.

Yes, right. Much better.

That's great. Well,

I'd better get going.

Andy's waiting on me.

I'll see you later.

(brooding music)

(birdsong)

(splash)

(screaming)

Andy! Andy, what's wrong?

OK. All right. Just stay

there. Stay there. It's OK.

(gasp)

(crescendo sting)

(percussive music)

Andy? Andy!

(police radio chatter)

(percussive music)

Where is he? Andy!

Emily!

It's OK. He's all right.

Are you OK, honey?

Grace! We got here

as soon as we could.

What... what happened?

Do we know who it is?

No, I didn't get a good

look at them but...

Andy was the one who found her.

(whisper) Just stay here, OK?

(sigh) Grace, you poor thing.

You must be so traumatized.

Dad's here. It's OK,

OK? Dad's right here.

Just stay with the police;

I'll be right back, OK?

The body's been identified.

It's Ms. Victoria Maynard.

(gasp) No. No, no, no,

no. It can't be. (Panting)

How'd this happen?

We won't know exactly until

we run some tests, but...

It seems that she

slipped on some stones

getting out of her

kayak and hit her head.

It's a tragic accident.

This is... this is unbelievable.

It's awful.

I'm taking Andy home.

I'll stay with him.

Emily, I need you in the office.

The press is gonna

be all over this.

No. I need to be with our

son. He needs me more.

Of course. You're

right. I'm sorry.

Grace, you can have the day off.

Um, is there anything

we can do for you?

No. I... I'd rather

stay busy, honestly.

OK.

Can I help out at the

office today instead?

Um...

Uh, sure. I could use all

the support I could get.

Emily, why don't

you take my truck?

I need to speak

with the detective

and Grace can drive you to town.

OK. (Kiss)

Excuse me.

(deep breathing)

(tense music)

Oh! Got the file here.

So, let's cross-reference

from what we have.

(door closes hard)

(sigh) Emily asked me

to drop off your car.

(brooding music)

Why aren't you with

your family right now?

Come on.

- Shame on you.

I want to be home, but it's

not an option right now.

Andy found Victoria's body this

morning. He needs his dad.

Don't you think it kills me

that I can't be with him?

I have a responsibility

to this town.

First Yasmin, now Victoria.

What happened to

Yasmin was terrible.

But it happened months ago.

And the sheriff is nowhere

closer to solving it.

Add another death and the

town is gonna want answers.

What happened to Victoria

is very sad, of course.

But the girl fell.

Shouldn't have anything to

do with you spending time

with your family

when they need you.

(sigh) Mom, wait!

(knocking)

(sigh) Grace!

Hi, Andrea.

You look exhausted.

(door closes)

(sigh)

(pulsing music)

I was at the office

all day with Alex.

The whole town's in an uproar.

We had to turn off the phones.

I mean, can you blame

them? People are scared.

To think we just saw

Victoria yesterday.

Colin?

He's not supposed to be

working at the Turners.

Looks like he's headed

towards Victoria's house.

Why would he be going there?

Andrea.

Andrea, what are you doing?

Following him.

Are you sure you wanna do that?

Yes.

OK, well, I'm coming.

(suspenseful music)



There he is! Is that

Victoria's house?

Yeah. Why the hell is

he going into her place?

And how does he have a key?

I don't know but he has no

business going in there.

Did you see Colin this morning?

No. Emily gave

him the night off,

so he didn't sleep

at the Turners.

I don't know when he got home.

(door opens and closes)

(raised voice)...

Stop it. The girl is dead.

Show some respect!

Goodnight.

Sorry.

(sigh) It's been a

long day for everyone.

Was she talking about Victoria?

Vivian was never fond of her.

And we just received

more troubling news.

What happened?

Victoria was pregnant.

(music intensifies)

(rushing water)

(birdsong)

Hey Colin, do you have any...

Morning.

Oh, Hi, Louise.

I was just gonna ask Colin

for breakfast to go for Andy.

Did you want a coffee?

I'm all right.

Yeah.

(coffee pouring)

Where's Colin?

He's... unwell.

He insisted on working,

but I convinced him to

sleep in this morning.

I don't mind helping

out while he rests.

(murmur)

Is it about Victoria?

She didn't work here long but

it was still a shock

to hear what happened.

Of course. I'm so

sorry for your loss.

Victoria and Colin were close.

He was an absolute

mess yesterday.

Is there anything

I can do to help?

No. Thank you. Also, it's best

not to mention it to him,

especially with the

news of her pregnancy.

Do you think he could

have been the father?

Like I said, they were close.

(phone rings)

Hello, Detective.

Yes, I'll be at the

Turners all night.

All right; That's no

problem. I'll see you later.

(door opens)

Emily: You could have at least

given me a heads up,

instead of leaving me

blindsided and looking foolish!

Alex: It was nothing, Emily!

Victoria and I kept in touch

after she quit. You knew this!

What I didn't know was

that you made plans to meet her

the very moment she ends

up being found dead.

She wanted to discuss

her new career plans.

(scoff)

OK? I was helping her.

But then I got scheduled

on a conference call

in the morning so I

had to reschedule.

That conference call

was cancelled, Alex.

So you could've been

literally anywhere!

I did not see Victoria.

I swear to you!

First Yasmin, now Victoria.

Hey. Victoria's death

was an accident.

That's what they said this

morning in the paper.

This is nothing like

what happened to Yasmin.

But Yasmin's k*ller

is still out there.

This is just really scary, Alex.

(whispers) Come here.

It's gonna be OK. OK?

(sigh)

(sigh) I... I gotta go

back to the office.

(rapid steps)

(door slams)

Are you OK?

Oh! Yes. I'm fine.

Is Andy at Mark's house?

Yeah. I'm gonna pick

him up in a few hours.

(phone rings)

I'm sorry. It's my husband;

I can call him back later.

When did you say he was

getting into town again?

Tomorrow night.

I'm meeting up

with him the next day

before his flight.

I know it must be hard

losing Victoria so suddenly.

So, if there's

anything I can do

anything at all,

please let me know.

Thank you.

(pensive music)

And he looked up to

the sky and said...

"Goodnight, sky!

Goodnight, stars."

And then he went to sleep

in his favorite new place.

In the tree house they

built in the back yard.

The end.

I love when we come up

with stories like this.

Yeah, and you're

really good at it too.

Hey, guess what came

in the mail today.

Your DNA test. So

we can keep working

on your family tree

project. What do you think?

Cool. And do you promise you'll

come to my presentation?

Promise. Cross my

heart and hope to die.

I'm here if you want

to talk about anything.

What's going on right

now is really hard.

I wish Victoria could come to

my presentation. I miss her.

That's completely natural

when someone passes.

Especially so suddenly.

It's OK to miss her. It's

part of the mourning process.

Everyone loved her:

Mom, Dad, Colin, Louise.

But Grandma was mean

to her sometimes.

Maybe that's why she quit.



(door closes)

(thoughtful music)

(phone rings)

Hey, babe.

It's so good to hear

your voice. How are you?

I'm good. I'm good. I

just finished my day.

Headed home. How are

things on your end?

(sigh)

Grace?

Mm. I'm fine. I'm just... I'm

waiting for a detective

to come over because a girl's

body was found in the park.

Well actually, I... I found her.

Oh, God! Are you OK?

Yeah. It was awful. And I

had just seen her in town.

Wow. Um. Uh... can I

do anything? Um...

I'm worried about you, hon.

You know you get panic

attacks when you're stressed.

Maybe I'll reschedule

my meetings.

Uh, I can leave sooner, I...

No, no. I... I'm gonna

be so busy with Andy.

And the Turners are

still having this event

tomorrow night. So let's

just stick to our plan.

OK. I'll be in town around

midnight then. Hey, uh, give

give me a call after you

speak to the detective, OK?

I will. Bye.

Bye, honey.

Grace, did you know Detective

Crossman was coming here?

Victoria's death

was an accident.

Yeah. I... I mean, I was there

when Andy discovered the body

so I'll answer any questions

that will help the

investigation.

I can't deal with

this right now.

Colin, I saw you last

night. What were you...

(knock at door)

I'll be in the kitchen

if anyone needs me.

Hello, Detective.

Ms. Anderson.

(door closes)

You still have time to talk?

Yes. Absolutely.

Thank you for being

so cooperative.

There's something

else you should know.

I saw something last night. I

was with my friend, Andrea,

and we saw Colin entering

Victoria's house. He had a key.

Interesting.

Is he here currently?

Yes.

Hello, Detective. Grace.

Mr. Mayor, I was hoping I

could speak with Mr. Marshall.

Would you be so kind

as to get him for me?

Regarding Victoria? Her death

has been ruled an accident.

Why all the interrogations?

Right now, my focus is

on the investigation.

I'm talking to anyone

who knew Victoria.

I understand.

Is there any news with

the Yasmin Davis case?

Yes. In fact, the department

will be issuing a statement

in tomorrow's paper.

(mysterious music)

Are you able to tell us now

so I know what to expect

tomorrow at the office?

It seems Ms. Maynard

was receiving

threatening texts

leading up to her m*rder.

So you're saying...

We have reason to

suspect that Ms. Maynard

died under suspicious

circumstances.

Just like Yasmin Davis.

Grace. All done

with the detective?

Yeah. He's with Colin now.

You should go talk to Alex.

I think he's in his office.

Detective: And you were here

working every night this week.

Colin: No, I was, uh... I

was off on Monday.

Where were you then?

I was with Victoria.

(knock at door)

Grace?

Come in.

I just wanted to

check in on you.

Alex told me what

the detective said.

This is insane. There's

a k*ller on the loose.

(sigh) It's just easy

to be a bit paranoid.

It's such a small town.

The last thing I want is for

you to feel uncomfortable.

So, if you don't want to stay...

No, no. I think I just

need some rest. It's OK.

I understand.

To think Victoria's death may

not have been an accident

is (exhale)...

it's shocking.

I'm actually really

worried about how Colin's

gonna take this news.

Louise mentioned

that they were close.

I think they may have been

involved romantically.

Really?

Well, they never told me

anything, but I always

suspected something was

going on between them.

And then I just overheard the

detective talking with Colin.

And he said that he

was with Victoria

the night before she died.

Oh, no. To lose someone you

love. That must be unbearable.

This isn't the first time for

Colin either. The poor thing.

What do you mean?

Yasmin.

She and Colin used to date.

They weren't together

when she... you know.

But they had just gone

through a terrible breakup.

And it didn't end

particularly well.

So you're saying that both

of Colin's ex-girlfriends

have ended up dead?

(sigh)

I'd better go...

Have a good night, Grace.

You too.

(door closes softly)

(mysterious music)

Andrea, it's Grace. I have

just had a wild night.

I found out some personal

details about Colin's life.

Call me back when you can.

(phone dings)

(prolonged horror sting)

(chopping)

Hey, Colin. I just

wanna grab some coffee.

Is there any fresh...

(chop)

What'd you say?

Grace?

I'm just gonna grab a coffee.

No. It's fine.

I'll take care of it.

(dishes clanking)

Hey!

I need help.

That was fast!

Here, I'll set you up.

Looking sharp, little man!

What's that?

It's a DNA testing kit for

my family tree project.

Cool stuff!

Alex: I assure you, Ms. Maynard.

We are doing everything we can.

She did not tell me much

about her personal life,

so I don't know if she had

a boyfriend. I'm sorry.

Yes, Ms. Maynard. As soon as I

hear something I'll call you.

(sigh) Victoria's mother

won't stop calling.

I don't know what

she wants me to say.

Well, can you blame her?

Her daughter was pregnant.

And they can't identify

a DNA match for the baby.

Emily: Victoria was living

with a huge secret.

Alex: Maybe we should call

off the event tonight.

The timing doesn't seem right.

And the re-election

won't happen for a while.

No. People need your

leadership now more than ever.

(gentle music)

Have you noticed

how upset Colin is?

We're all upset, Emily.

Andy: Will the results

come on time?

My friend Michael

works at the lab.

So I'll ask him to rush

the results for us.

All right.

My project's gonna be the best.

Colin, are you gonna come

watch my presentation?

You really think I'd miss

something that important?

Of course I'll be there.

Let's go back upstairs.

You can hang out with

Louise while I get ready.

(soft piano arpeggios)

(intriguing music)



(phone rings)

Detective Crossman.

Hi, Detective. Have you found

out who's been texting me?

It's likely it came

from a burner phone,

so the number isn't traceable.

However, we were able

to track the texts

to a cell tower in

North Rivertown.

OK. What does that mean?

Being able to track the cell

tower allowed us to trace a

three-mile radius from

where the text was sent.

The radius includes

the main strip in town

as well as the Turner residence.

So you're saying that

the text could have come

from someone inside the house?

It is a possibility.

(quirky music)



Women are just not safe

in this town right now.

So what I suggest is when

you lock up at night,

you have someone escort you.

(crowd chatter)

Oh, Lucy, hi. So

good to see you.

Flashback: So you're saying

that the texts could've come

from someone inside the house.

Detective: It is a possibility.

Grace! There you are.

Is everything OK?

Yeah.

(crowd chatter)

I just need some air. (Panting)

(flowing water)



What's goin' on?

(sigh) Nothing. I'm fine. I

just need a moment alone.

(chime and a buzz)

Oh, sh**t. That's the

timer for the chicken.

Look, if you're not

fussed about getting back

to the crowd, do you mind

going to the utility room

and grabbing me a box of wine?

OK, sure.

Uh, just... remember

to prop the door open.

It locks from the inside.

Right.

Cool. Thanks.



(deep breathing)

(crowd chatterj)

(door slams)



(click)

(buzzing)



(door slams shut)

Uh, I'm still in here!

(rapid knocking on door)

Hello? Is anybody there?

I'm locked inside.

I... I can't get out!

(knocking)

(faint knocking)

I'm locked inside!

Please! Somebody!



(heavy strained breathing)

Somebody...

(music intensifies)

(screams)

(loud crash)

(sirens)

(hospital phone pages)

(monitor beeping)

Hey.

(sigh)

How you feelin'?

I'm OK. A bit embarrassed.

Panic attacks are

nothing to be ashamed of.

(sigh) The door

shut, and I panicked.

It felt like the walls

were closing in on me

and I couldn't breathe.

It was like time was

standing still

but. I was stuck in there.

Hey, hey!

You're safe now.

Glad they called me when they

did. I was on my way into town.

I'm gonna cancel my flight,

stay here with you...

No, James! That meeting is so

important for your career.

You're important to me

too. You're my priority.

If I'm gonna go I'd have

to leave really soon.

Just... I don't know.

Go to that meeting,

James. I promise I'm OK.

OK. You sure?

Yes.

(sigh) The Turners had any

luck getting a new nanny?

No. And Louise has been

doing so many interviews.

Louise! Oh, my God, how

is she? It's all so vague.

I can barely remember.

But they were putting

her onto a stretcher?

(soft piano)

Louise fell down the stairs

when you were in

the utility room.

She didn't make it.

I'm so sorry.

Oh, no. (Sigh)

What is going on

with this family?

(sigh) Would you consider

coming home a little earlier?

Yes, I would.

But I need to make sure that

Andy's all right first.

Will you bring me

by the Turners?

Thanks for calling. We're

absolutely devastated.

Yes. Emily is planning a

memorial service next week.

OK. Take care.

(sigh)

This week's been a nightmare.

I can't believe Louise is gone.

(whispered) Yeah.

Did she, did she say

anything when you found her?

Like I said, she

was unresponsive.

Yeah. Right. I'm sorry.

Did you, um

did you hear anything from

the hospital about Grace?

No news.

(dark music)

(door opens)

(door closes)

Grace! It's good to see you!

Are you... are you doing OK?

Yeah, I'm OK. I

heard about Louise.

Yeah. We're all still in shock.

She was part of the family.

I'm so sorry, Alex.

And this is bad timing.

But I'd prefer to talk

to you about it now.

I promised my husband

I'd consider going back

to Philadelphia a little

sooner than I thought.

It's OK. I understand.

You've been an incredible help,

and we can't thank you enough.

I haven't decided anything yet.

I know Andy has lost so much.

Victoria, and now Louise.

Whatever you decide.

We're happy to have you for

as long as you can stay.

I know Andy's really

taken a liking to you.

Yeah, so, um... just keep me

posted and we'll make it work.

I will. Thank you.

OK. I've gotta run.

I'll see you later.

Please try to get some rest, OK?

I told Colin to take

the rest of the day off

so please do the same.

Emily is with Andy. It's just

a... a sad day for all of us.

Thank you, Alex.

OK. Take care.

(door opens and closes)

Grace! Oh, what... what a relief

to see you. I'm so sorry.

If I didn't ask you to

get the box of wine,

none of this would've happened.

I just came in to get tea. I

didn't think you'd be in here.

It's nice to have you back.

Thanks.

I still feel terrible.

I mean, you were shaking like

a leaf, struggling to breathe.

I... I thought you

were gonna pass out

or maybe something worse.

Yes! The last thing this town

needs is another accident.

Isn't that right, Colin?

(mysterious music)



(paper slaps counter)

(brooding music)

I'd watch your

back if I were you.

Grace: Andrea,

everything is in a mess.

It was already getting so

tense inside the house.

And now with Louise gone?

God, poor Louise.

What a sad way to go.

I just parked. I'll

be inside in a sec.

OK.

Grace, wait up!

(door closes)

Colin! What the hell?

You asked me why I was at

Victoria's that night.

You still wanna know?

Yes.

We were friends. I

cared a lot about her.

But she was hiding

something from me.

She kept saying, uh, she was

stressed about finding work.

But I know that wasn't it.

Yes. Because she was

pregnant. Maybe that was it!

Yeah. Um... maybe

that was part of it.

But she was getting texts

and hiding her phone.

I have Yasmin's old keychain,

and it has Victoria's house keys

so I went to her house to

see if I could find anything.

I know it was stupid.

Did you find something?

Nothing that stood out.

So you two were just friends?

That's not what everyone

seems to think, Colin.

Grace, I'm telling you we

were friends. That's it.

Everybody at the house got

along really well with her.

Emily and Alex, they

wanted to see her succeed,

even though they were

sad to see her go.

We were all sad. Except Vivian.

I have to go, Colin.



Hey, can I get you

a tea or something?

(door closes)

I think Colin just

followed me here.

He just cornered me outside.

What did he say?

That him and Victoria

were just friends.

Oh. Wow.

I know what happened

last night is blurry.

But I could've sworn I

propped that door open

when I went into

the utility room.

What if somebody locked

me in there on purpose?

You think it could've

been another warning

for you to leave town?

Exactly.

And who do you think sent

me here in the first place?

(intriguing music)

(water flowing)

Grace!

Thanks for listening tonight.

It's really too bad you're

thinking of leaving.

I like having you around.

(door opens / light clicks)

(lock clicks)

(approaching footsteps)



(uneasy breathing)

(knock at door)

Grace! Open up! Let me in!

I'm coming.

(panting) Oh, Grace. Thank

God I got you on time.

You need to leave.

Vivian, slow down.

What's going on?

You're in danger. You

need to leave right now.

Wait, why? What are

you talking about.

I heard Colin

talking on the phone.

He admitted to locking

you in the utility room.

He's dangerous.

OK, we need to call

the sheriff's office.

Let's go to the

station. I'll drive you.

I'll meet you in the foyer.

Wait!

Vivian!

Vivian?

(door handle clicks)

(door hinge squeaks)

Colin: Grace.

What are you doing awake?

I was just, um

couldn't sleep. I was

just going to get some tea.

I'll do it for you.

Just ordered this new

herbal one you'll like.

No, that's OK. I'd

prefer to go alone.

You're not going

anywhere, Grace.

(dangerous music)



Grace!

You should've taken

my warnings seriously

and gone back to Philadelphia,

like I told you.

I'll go back. I won't tell

anyone anything, I swear!

It's too late now.

Emily!

Alex!

Stop yelling!

It's just you and I now.

No one's home.

No. No, no, no, no, no!

(heavy breathing)

(knocking)

(horror sting)

Andy: Grace!

(knocking)

Grace! Wake up!

(door opens)

You have nightmares too, huh?

Yeah.

Yeah, that one felt really real.

What's going on?

Why are you awake?

I was having trouble sleeping.

I was gonna get a glass of water

when I heard you making

weird noises in your sleep.

Well, how do you feel

about a bedtime snack?

Colin makes homemade cereal for

me sometimes. It's the best.

He's been a bit different

ever since Victoria died.

He's doing his best, but

it's hard when you lose

someone you care about.

They never seemed like

very good friends.

But they did text a lot.

How do you know that?

Colin never told me about it.

But I go onto his laptop

sometimes to play games,

and I'd see the

notifications pop up.

I never read them though.

I'm not that nosy.

Has Colin given you

permission to use his laptop?

(scoff) Duh!

He made his password my

birthday so I could remember.

But nobody knows I get

up really early sometimes

to play in his room

when he's not home.

(chuckle) I almost got

caught last week, though.



It was a close call.

But she never saw

me in Colin's room.

Eat your cereal.

(birdsong)

(door opens and closes)

(door opens and closes)

Vivian.

Grace. (Throat

clear) You scared me.

What are you doing in here?

Well, I'm tired of

everyone pretending

that Colin isn't dangerous.

He's hiding something. And

I'm gonna find out what.

You're a smart girl, Grace.

I'm sure you've had the

same questions about Colin

that I've had.

I just wanted to

check on something.

Andy's birthday is

December 7th, right?

Yes.



Oh, my God!

What did you find?

Colin was in love with

Victoria. He lied to me.

Victoria warned him to

back off and accuses him

of having sent threatening

texts with a blocked number.

Clearly, Victoria was afraid

of him. And now she's dead.

And so is Yasmin. It

can't be a coincidence

that both of these

women were k*lled.

The detective said that

maybe Victoria's death

wasn't an accident.

Are Emily or Alex home?

Grace. How are you doing? Alex

mentioned that you might be

leaving a little

earlier than planned,

but we've all gotten so

used to having you around.

I need to talk to

you about Colin.

What about me?

You were in love with Victoria.

You lied to me.

(scoffs) Grace, I don't know

what you're talking about.

I found text messages

between Colin and Victoria.

He's confessing his love to her

and she's begging him

to stay away from her.

She said she's

with someone else.

And she knows that he's

sending her threatening texts

from a blocked number.

How did you see these texts?

They're on his laptop.

Why were you going

through my stuff?

Colin. Is that true?

I'd never hurt

Victoria. I loved her.

I was worried about her.

Grace, why were you going

through Colin's belongings?

I don't know. I had a hunch,

and I followed it, OK?

Vivian was there too.

You two had no business

being in my room.

And it's a good thing I did.

I found this hidden

in your room.

Emily: Oh, my God!

A g*n! You have a

g*n in my house!

That is not mine. I've never

seen it before in my life!

It was in a box under your bed.

Yasmin. Yasmin was shot.

That's how she died, right?

This... this is insane.

That's not mine.

I wasn't even town the

night she got k*lled.

Stop.

You're not going

anywhere, Colin.

Vivian, are you mad?

Put the g*n away!

Detective Crossman will be

here soon. Just put it down.

He'll know what to do.



(police radio chatter)

(door closes)

Keep it from here.

(door closes)

We're taking Colin in

for questioning.

You're not gonna arrest him?

There isn't enough evidence

to detain him at this time.

The g*n does match the type

used against Yasmin Davis.

But we're gonna have to run

some tests before we know

for sure if it's the

exact one or not.

And are you charging him with

the m*rder of Victoria too?

Well, let's not get

ahead of ourselves.

Both deaths are ongoing

investigations.

We're preparing a warrant to

search Mr. Marshall's room.

But I'll keep you posted.

Detective, I think he really

could've been the one

to lock me in the utility room

that night. He's dangerous.

Three women have died. And

they were all close to Colin.

Now we find out

he's hiding a g*n.

What else is he hiding?

Detective: I assure you;

We are all over this.

I'll get in touch once

we secure the warrant.

Of course.

Thank you, Detective.

I have to call Alex right away.

Yeah.

(phone chimes)

(door closes)

What is it?

Andy's DNA results are

in. He'll be excited.

I have to go pick him up.

I'll be back soon, OK?

(dishes clinking)

(door closes)

Hey.

I just overheard someone

say they saw Colin

at the sheriff's

office. Is it true?

Vivian found a g*n in his room.

Quit the Turners last night.

He's staying at

a friend's house.

(phone dings)

(sigh)

I almost forgot. Andy's

DNA results came in.

Mm.

What is it?

Andy's results. It says there's

zero percent Italian lineage.

That doesn't make any sense.

Alex's whole family is Italian.

It's like a point

of pride for him.

Yeah, I know.

I heard Mom and Dad saying you

may have to go home earlier.

I told them that I'm

thinking about it.

If you do end up staying,

there's this cool rock exhibit

opening at the museum in a few

weeks. Wanna go together?

Yeah. Of course.

Louise said she'd

take me, but...

Hey. I'll take you.

And if I'm not

working as your nanny,

I'll just drive

down for the day.

I can bring James too. You'll

like him. He's a cool guy.

(approaching footsteps)

Mom! Look at my family tree!

Oh! (Gasp) It's

absolutely wonderful.

You're so creative.

I think it's time for

your bedtime, though.

Huh, honey? Yeah?

OK!

(chuckle) Night, sweetie!

Goodnight!

Goodnight, Andy!

See you tomorrow.

30 percent Italian?

Oh, yeah. We ordered

a mail-in DNA test.

Oh, wow.

(sombre music)

You didn't need

parental approval

for that kind of thing?

Of course. I had Alex sign

some paperwork for me.

Mm.

This is really so beautiful.

I love seeing how

we all connect.

And these mail-in tests,

they're 100 percent accurate?

Oh, absolutely.

Family is the most important

thing in the world to me.

Andy and Alex are my everything.

Emily, I...

It's so sweet to see

how proud Andy is

of his Italian heritage.

It just (sigh)...it

warms my heart.

I'm gonna go up to bed too.

Grace, wait.

I just wanted to say, um

this whole thing with Colin.

I'm so sorry to have put you in

danger with him in the house.

I would never have

expected him to own a g*n

or to send those

threatening texts.

But it was my job to create

a safe space for you here.

And I failed.

Oh, it's OK. It's

not your fault.

You're sweet.

We're all gonna be

so sad to lose you.

And James? Is um... is

he still in town?

No. Not anymore.

Goodnight, Emily.

Goodnight.



(approaching steps)

I figured you could

use another coffee.

Thank you.

Any news on what

happened to Victoria?

Well, the sheriff isn't saying

much. It's... it's a nightmare.

And all eyes are on Colin.

(sigh)

Just how could he have

done something like this?

I thought I knew him.

I guess we were wrong.

The town is angry.

But it'll all blow over

once Colin is arrested.

(phone rings)

It's early.

He must have some news.

Hello, Detective.

Please tell me you

have some good news.

Good and bad.

We've confirmed that the

g*n found in Colin's room

was in fact the same g*n

used to m*rder Yasmin Davis.

Oh, my God!

Wow.

And I wanted to let you know

that Colin is no longer

considered a suspect in

the Yasmin Davis case.

His alibi on the night of

the m*rder is airtight.

But Vivian found

the g*n in his room,

so he must be involved

somehow, right?

The only prints found

on the g*n are Vivian's.

It's been a very long day,

and the jetlag is k*lling me.

But the meeting went very well.

Hm. That makes me

happy to hear.

Oh, just a second.

Are these yours?

They smell terrible!

Humidity and lake water.

They must be Victoria's.

She often times changed in

the shed after kayaking.

She had this horrible habit

of leaving wet clothes

in a pile on the floor.

Sorry about that.

It's all right.

How are you holding up?

I'm worried about you.

I'm all right.

I'm going to Andrea's

after dinner tonight.

That's nice. I'm glad

she's there for you.

Yeah. I've been thinking. It's

been calmer at the house lately.

I haven't received

any other texts

since the incident

in the utility room.

I think I'll come back home

just after Louise's

memorial next week.

All right. Well, I'll

head to Rivertown then.

And we can make the

road trip back together.

What do you think?

I would love that.

Me too.

OK. I'll let you get

back to your writing.

OK. Bye.



Nothing from Michael?

No. It's so weird. He usually

texts me back right away.

Do you think he could've

just made a mistake

with the results?

Who knows?

He's probably just busy.

I'm just anxious to hear back.

I hate that I lied to Andy.

Yeah.

I should get back.

It's getting late.

Well, thanks so much for coming

by. It was good to see you.

I needed a night

out of the house.

(chuckle)

Night!

(door closes)

(keys jingle)

(eerie music)

(car door slams)

(engine starts)

(engine revs as car drives off)

(dark musical sting)

(whisper) Leave Rivertown

and never come back.

I'm not going to warn you again.

(gasp)



(car beeps)

Andy: No! (Panting) Who are you?

(panting) No! Get

away! (Panting)

(door opens)

Andy.

(whining)

Andy. Wake up.

(whining)

Oh, it's OK.

You OK? Do you

wanna talk about it?

I keep having the same

nightmare over and over

about someone hiding

in the shed outside.

I saw someone in there before.

So it feels real. But in my

dream, they have no face.

You know what helps

nightmares? Hot chocolate!

Oh, yeah.

With marshmallows?

OK, Mr. Andy!

One hot chocolate with

marshmallows coming right up!

(approaching steps)

Hi, Vivian.

Oh. I didn't think

anyone else was up.

Yeah, Andy just had a nightmare

and he's a bit shaken up.

So I thought I'd make

him a hot chocolate.

Poor thing. Can't

escape his nightmares.

But I don't think hot

chocolate is the best cure.

Why are you up?

Oh. It seems I can

never get some sleep.

I just came down to

get a cup of tea.

Is it true you'll be leaving

town sooner than expected?

Yes.

Two young girls receiving

threatening texts are now dead.

I wouldn't stay either.

I'll miss you.

(threatening music)

(sigh)

What did the sheriff say

about the note on your car?

I dropped it off to

him this morning.

I'm waiting to hear back

from Detective Crossman.

Are you sure you're

doing all right?

No. No, I'm not all right!

I can't shake this feeling

that somebody is watching me.

Yasmin and Victoria were

both receiving sketchy texts

and they... they died.

I can't stay here any longer.

I decided I'm going

home tomorrow.

I think that's the

right decision.

Now what am I gonna

tell Andy? Hm?

I don't wanna do this to him.

But with everything

that's going on.

He'll be OK. You

can come visit.

What are you up to

the rest of the day?

I will start packing.

I've got the night off

because Andy's going

to a sleepover after

school. So...

(phone rings)

I have to take this!

Hey! Michael. Thanks

for getting back to me.

Are you at work?

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down.

What are you talking about?

I'm listening.

(gasp)

No! That can't be right,

Michael! No! (Gasp)

Grace?

I asked Michael to run a

check on Andy's relatives.

OK.

Alex isn't Andy's

biological father.

His real father is... James!

James!

Andy!

But how would James and

Emily even know each other?

I don't know. I need to... I

need to call him right now.

Yeah, of course.

(phone rings)

Hey you!

James, we have to talk.

Grace? Did something

else happen?

Is everything all right?

I just got a call from Michael.

Yeah?

Andy's DNA results came back.

And I thought that

something was wrong,

so I had him double-check.

You were in the system. And

you came back as a match.

Wait, what? That's gotta be

a mistake. What do you mean?

You tell me. You had an

affair with Emily Turner?

Um...

Emily Turner. Uh...

Uh, yes!

Do you remember I told

you about that client

that I was intimate with?

And you felt guilty

because she was married?

Grace, I'm... I'm so sorry.

This... this was,

like, ten years ago.

Before you and I

were ever together.

If I had connected the dots, I

would've said something sooner.

I know... I know.

But I need some time

to process all of this.

Yeah. I understand.

I'll call you later.

OK.

(percussive music)



It's true.

Grace! (Sighs)

I'm so sorry.

I don't even know what to say.

I just... I can't believe it.

(sniffle) I know.

James has a son.

Why don't we just sit down

and talk that through,

because that's a lot to process.

Wait!

(shallow breaths)

Wait.

So ten years ago, like, right

before Emily got pregnant

with Andy, she had

an affair with James?

So she obviously knows that

Andy might not be Alex's son

and that James could be.

Does Emily know James

is your husband?

Well, I've said his name in

front of her multiple times.

And there are photos of us on

the internet so she must know.

Emily certainly doesn't

want Alex to find out

about her affair.

That's what I'm thinking.

Me being back here in

Rivertown, it scared her.

And now, I'm a threat

to exposing her secret.

Are you thinking that

Emily sent you those texts

to leave town so that Alex

doesn't learn about her affair?

Because that would be insane.

Well, it's possible!

I keep trying to connect what

happened to Yasmin and Victoria

to these sketchy texts.

But what if I'm looking

in the wrong direction?

Emily wanting you

far from Rivertown

makes sense to me now.

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna confront her.



Emily, can I talk

to you a minute?

Of course.

Let's sit down.

Is anyone else home?

No. Vivian's at the

office with Alex.

OK. Good. Because I need to

talk to you about something.

It's about Andy.

I came across something

while we were working

on his family tree project.

Yes?

I know what happened

between you and James.

I have no idea what

you're referring to.

Emily, please. I know you

had an affair ten years ago.

Right before you got

pregnant with Andy.

It was a very,

very long time ago.

So let's just leave it in

the past where it belongs.

And I would. But as

you must've feared...

Alex isn't Andy's

biological father.

His real father is James.

No! No. No, no. That

can't be possible!

I saw Andy's project.

You told him that he's

30 percent Italian.

I lied. I'm sorry.

I didn't know how to

handle the situation.

No, this can't be happening.

Alex is his father!

His DNA matches James.

I had my friend check

at a lab this afternoon.

DNA doesn't lie.

It was just one night.

I mean, of course I

knew there was a chance

that Alex might not

be his father but...

Alex will be crushed.

I can't tell him.

He can never know.

No one can know.

It's too late.

I already told James.

You can't keep

this secret, Emily.

II don't know what to do.

I can't tell him that

Andy isn't his son.

This is gonna completely

destroy our lives.

Emily! I know it's difficult.

You should never have

come back to Rivertown!

That sounds familiar.

I know you've been

sending me texts

pressuring me to

leave Rivertown.

You have no idea

what you've done.

What?

I won't let you

destroy my family.

Not after all I've

done to protect it.

Why would I destroy your

family? I love Andy.

I'm gonna give you some

time to work this out.

No, you should've left

when I warned you.

Now you're not going anywhere!

That's the jacket Vivian found.

They smell terrible.

Humidity and lake water.

It all makes sense now.

Victoria was kayaking.

You must've been wet,

So you went to the

shed to change.

Vivian said the jacket and the

shoes smelled like lake water.

And Andy.

He was scared to get

his ball from the shed

the morning we found Victoria.

And he said he saw you

entering your bedroom.

Like, surprisingly

early that same morning.

It's you.

It's you that Andy saw

in the shed that morning.

That's why he's been having

this reoccurring nightmare

ever since. And Victoria

didn't fall, did she?

You think you're so clever.

But you don't know the

first thing about me.

You don't know what

I've had to do.

You don't know what I've had

to do to protect my family!

Don't you dare call

anyone! Put the phone down!

OK.

This whole time I was

suspecting Colin...

You did this.

I had no choice. They

were gonna ruin my family.

How could you?

I'm not the bad person here.

It was Alex. He was the

one sleeping around.

With who?

Yasmin found out about

his affair with Victoria

and threatened to expose him.

So, I had to get rid of her.

And then I thought that

Victoria would disappear

once she quit. But Alex

was keeping her around.

His little affair was gonna

destroy our reputations

and tear our family apart.

They both got what

they deserved.

And you knew Colin was

connected to both of them,

so you tried to frame him by

putting the g*n in his room.

I thought that once Yasmin

was out of the picture

that we could be a family again.

But with Victoria

still lingering,

the nightmare

just... it wouldn't end!

What am I supposed to do?

How could I explain a pregnancy

when everybody knows,

I don't have a boyfriend?

(scoff) You're gonna have

to quit your job here.

What? Alex, I need the money!

Just... listen. Give your

notice to Emily tomorrow.

OK, you know the

property on Main Street?

You always wanted to open up a

bookshop. Now's your chance.

You can start your own

business, and I'll help you

every step of the way.

(scoff) You think you can

buy me? Just like that?

It's your dream, is it not?

And I'll cover everything.

And if anyone asks, you

met a guy from out of town. OK?

No! Come on, Alex.

I'm not doing that.

Look, I have no problem

quitting my job right away,

but I will not lie to my child.

Grace: OK.

You don't have to hurt

anyone else, Emily.

Everything was fine

until you came into town.

I had it all under control.

What have I ever done to you?

You brought James here!

The second I realized

you were married to him,

I knew I needed to act quickly.

If Alex ever found

out about my affair,

he'd leave me with nothing.

(car lock chirps)

And now to find out that

James is Andy's father?

It's over for me.

And you're to blame!

So, not only have you been

sending me threatening texts,

but you locked me in

the utility closet?

For what? Just to scare me?

And Louise? You k*lled Louise!

I regret having to do that.

But she saw too much.

I couldn't risk it.

(door slams)

I'm still in here!

(knocking)

Hello?

Hello?

Is anyone there?

Hello? I... Is anybody there?

She knew something was off. And

then she heard you screaming.

(shriek)

And I can tell by the look

on her face that she knew

I locked you in,

so I had no choice.

I want you out of

my life. For good.

My secrets

end with you!

Oh, my God!

Emily. Let me up. No!

Emily, stop. Emily!

Emily, no! Emily! Don't!

Emily, don't! Please stop!

Emily, no! Emily!

Emily! What are you doing?

(screams)

Don't you dare look at me

like I'm the crazy one!

I've been busy

cleaning up your mess!

Emily!

Please. Think about

what you're doing.

(panting)

This is not gonna end

well for you. Please.

Andy needs his mother.

Just drop the knife.

Please.

(sobbing)

(clattering)

(sobbing)



(sobbing) This wasn't how

it was supposed to go.

This was never meant

to happen! (Gasp)

911. What is your emergency?

Please send a car to

1413 Blackhorse Court.

No! (Sobbing and gasping)

(sirens wailing)

(police radio chatter)

(pulsating music)



Alex: (laughing) Let's see it!

It feels so good being

back in Rivertown

without all the stress

of Emily's trial.

Yeah. Yeah, the last year has

been a real roller coaster.

Look who it is!

Andy!

(laugh)

It's so good to see you!

Hey, bud.

Hey!

Hey. Thanks for inviting

us to the play today.

It was all Andy's idea.

I'm glad you made

the drive down.

Of course.

How're you two doing?

We're really great.

We're really great.

Grace, are you...?

Yes! I'm pregnant.

Yeah! I'm gonna

be a big brother!

Andy. This is for you.



You wrote it? Is it the

tree house from our story?

Yes, it is.

You were my inspiration for it,

so I wanted you to see it first.

Thanks! I can't wait to read

it to my little brother.

(chuckle) Well, it could

also be a little sister.

It could be both!

(laugh)

Hey. We still have

time before the play.

I'm gonna hold the book while

you play in the park. Yeah?

All right.

Wait up, Andy!
