The Hunting Wives...

[screams]

[Flynn] Sophie O'Neil? Your g*n

was used to k*ll Abby Jackson.

I didn't do it.

I was with Margo
Banks all night.

Miss Margo left the
lake house at 10:30

for a family medical emergency.

Did you see Margo on July 18th?

That was the night I died.

I wasn't sure Kyle
was gonna make it.

-So I called Mandy.
-So you saw her?

Oh yes, ma'am. Sat for hours.

-Do you have a pad?
-I have a tampon.

I can't use that. [laughs]

My daddy... Well, I
didn't even know him.

He was just some guy that
my mom had an affair with.

As soon as I fix my life,
I'll come back. Promise.

That guy with one eye
is following me again.


[Margo] Someone
left these in my car


with a note sayin',
"I see you."


Until this is resolved,

I don't think you
should be in the house.

Abby, I know. Brad
told me everything.

About what you did.

Abby had an ab*rtion?
She told you that?

Her boyfriend did.

If Jill found out about it,

I'd say she'd be pretty pissed.

Got something to hide, Jilly?

No. Do you?

I found a motive.

I think that Abby
had gotten pregnant.


Jill found out, and
obviously, she didn't like it.


Miss O'Neil, you're under arrest

-for the m*rder of Abby Jackson.
-What?! Wait!

-What the f*ck, Jill?!
-Shut up for once in your life!

It was me, okay?

I was the one
because I love you.

Sophie, I f*cking love you,

protect you, and I did.

Are you hearing yourself?

You are a psychopath.

-Please don't say that.

Well, then so are you

'cause you knew what
I was all along.

You sensed it and you
still wanted to be with me,

and you looked for anyone else,

anyone else to blame.

And guess what, it worked.

It worked, Sophie. It's over.

Everyone thinks Jill
did it, and she's gone.

We can bury it all with her.

We can just move
on with our lives

and-and-and start over.

Just you and me, just

[Clint] We mourn today

not for the dead,

but for ourselves.

We mourn...

because we want answers.

But the Scripture tells us
that all the answers we seek


will be found in and be found by

our awesome God.

Ecclesiastes 12, 7-14:

"The chosen return to
their eternal home,"


and the mourners
return to the streets,


and the dust returns to
the ground it came from,


and the spirit returns
to God who gave it.


'Vanity of vanities,
' saith the Lord.


"'All is vanity.'"

Now, it is written
that God's lessons


are like a staff,

driven through with
spikes by a shepherd.


Painful to the flock,

but they are necessary.

Of anything beyond these
lessons, we should beware.


Lest the Lord's house
tremble, strong men fall.


Day becomes eternal night.

"And now the end of the
matter has all been heard."


Fear God!

And keep God's commandments,

"for God will bring every
deed into judgment..."
