Bellevue (2017) s01e04 Episode Script

1 Peter: I just pulled a dead body out of this water and you're talking to me about a 20 year old murder? Annie: What if they're connected? I'm pretty sure he watches me.
(Wood splinters) The shack is burnt, Annie.
Annie: You went there?! I said don't go there! Why did you go there?! Brady: Half a pound of MDMA found in Jesse's closet.
- Annie: Is this about the Rez teens? - Nope.
Brady: It's rainmakers Jed's trademark.
(Kicking thud) Annie: You're taking a chance telling me things.
All you want is trust.
And instinctually I do trust you.
Voice: Don't trust the guy with the fire in his eyes.
(Footsteps rustle in the foliage) (Door clatters shut) (Footsteps rustle in the foliage) (Box thuds) (Chimes and whirs on) (Paper crumples) (Heavy exhale) (Car whooshes by) (Doors slam shut) Peter: Go in around back! (Footsteps rustle in the foliage) (Bangs on door) Is anyone home? It's the police.
We have a warrant to search the premises.
We're coming in.
We're looking for anything to connect Jesse to Jed, or his drug business.
Turn the place upside down.
Is he serious? Jed's so white.
How is allowed to stay here? I thought housing was crazy scarce.
He's married to a girl from here but she's barely around.
I'm glad we get to check out his shit, but do we seriously think he had something to do with Jesse's murder? - Why not? - It looks personal, not like retaliation for stolen drugs.
Yeah.
Drug murders are personal.
They're about respect, betrayal of trust.
There's three toothbrushes in here.
His wife hasn't been on the Rez for months.
Annie: Um, guys, (Footsteps thud) I don't sell drugs.
Then what are you doing here? I watch over things sometimes.
Annie: You're not in trouble but you need to tell us about your relationship with Jed.
There wasn't one, okay? He doesn't even know I was here today.
We found you in your underwear.
Did Jesse know Jed? No.
We can help if you're in a situation that you don't wanna be in.
Brady: Um ladies? Fake eyelashes.
Who owns them? (Wind gusts) Jed's wife.
Jed's wife wear a size 13 boot? Yeah.
You think Jed has a sexual proclivity for young boys? I'm wondering.
And Danny is protecting him out of fear.
There's your personal connection.
If you ask me, he's more scared of us than Jed.
Maybe he has Stockholm syndrome.
Oh right.
I forgot.
Speculation is your territory.
- And poking holes in it is yours.
- Ladies.
Go find out if Mr.
Martin has an alibi.
(Slurps) Fuck sake! Boss.
You look like shit, boss.
Late night? Huh? I'm fine.
I'm fine.
I love you more when you treat me wrong Ladies, won't you step into my office.
I hear you went to my house.
Curious, were you? Or maybe we got a tip about a big shipment of little blue pills with turtles on them.
I have a hard time believing you're taking time and manpower to look for drugs when a boys body is still in the morgue.
Why would you assume we're here to talk to you about Jesse? (Glasses thud) I'm low hanging fruit.
You're under pressure.
People want a suspect and I have all those drug rumors false following me around.
Where were you the night Jesse died? I was at home.
Alone? Yeah.
Were you also alone? Maybe we were staring out into the same sky at the same time You're not fooling anyone.
Hiding out on the Rez, getting vulnerable people hooked on pills.
You're pathetic.
A pathetic wannabe.
Are you saying you like me back? Annie: What's your relationship with Danny Debassage? (Sighs) Am I under arrest for anything? Hey! I've been calling.
Did you lose your phone again? I just came to pick up my truck.
I ah had a few too many last night.
How'd you get here? Wow.
You remember Briana.
I work with her brother.
(Sighs) Fuck him.
Girl power.
(Car whooshes) You're gonna wanna see what's on Jed's property.
(Footsteps rustle in the foliage) Boy's just dug it up.
It's marked off with this feather.
Jesus.
Hey.
I got a look into Jed's life.
He grew up in foster care.
He was taken out of a home where he was sexually abused.
From then on, he was in fights, few arrests.
Finally juvie, where he put a counselor's face through a window pane.
That doesn't mean he became an abuser.
Doesn't mean he didn't.
It doesn't mean I can't use it to break him.
Why do you have it in for this guy? I think he killed a kid.
Why was Danny at your house? He stayed over sometimes.
We came across boots, fake eyelashes, we believe all belonging to Jesse.
He hung out when Danny was around.
Young love.
It's a beautiful thing.
And an earring.
Jesse's earring.
It was buried.
Was it? (Sighs) Right.
Well.
Sometimes people do things that don't make sense across the board.
Doesn't mean they had anything to do with a kid's death.
We found a large quantity of MDMA in Jesse's closet.
We know it's your product.
I'm thinking if Jesse stole from you, it would've made you angry.
I don't know anything about any drugs.
Obviously you don't have anything that says I do or I'd be charged.
Did you have sex with Jesse? Jesse and Danny? They were planning on running away together.
Is that why you killed Jesse? Because you felt like you owned him? Or maybe it's because he was going to tell someone about the sexual abuse.
(Emotional breaths) The earring looks like the kind of trophy that someone who kills someone keeps.
We know Jesse was wearing them the night he was killed.
I think I'd like a lawyer.
Yeah.
No problem.
We don't have to connect you to Jesse for you to go to jail.
Danny's 15.
You've got some dark fucking demons if you can't imagine a man can help a kid and not expect a blow job.
I can imagine a different man besides you.
Fuck you! You don't know me.
You don't know what my life was like growing up.
A kid needs a place to sleep, I'm gonna help him.
(Receding steps) (Door opens and shuts) I'm not sure it's Jed.
But the earring Jesse wearing them the night that he died doesn't mean he was wearing them when he died.
We know he lost one at the scrap yard.
He could have gone looking for Danny at Jed's - and lost the other one there.
- It was buried, Annie.
Where's the white truck? What are you? His lawyer? I just don't want us to have tunnel vision.
Danny being at Jed's, the boots, the earring, - it's all circumstantial.
- Is she serious? She has tunnel vision all the time and she - I'm just trying to point out! - All right.
All right.
It's time to trust someone else's instincts for once.
I like Jed for this.
I'm pretty sure your sister fucked my kid's dad.
What? Ryder! You just might want to warn her he's not gonna call again.
(Light knock) In your searching for the riddle guy.
Did you find out anything? I would have told you if I found out anything.
I thought you said not to sniff around.
You said he'd be dangerous if he knew you were going after him.
Didn't you? Just feeling the pressure.
Yeah.
Aren't we all.
When's the last you heard from him? Not since last night.
So no idea who lit your garage on fire last night? You said, kids.
But seems weird.
More pointed.
Like retaliation or something.
No.
Just kids.
You know I only want to nail Jed if he's the guy, right? Absolutely.
Of course.
Look, I don't know anything about him! (Grunt) Look, I didn't see his face.
He was on the other side of a bathroom stall! Yeah.
Annie told me you didn't know anything.
You don't trust your own cops, man? - That's a toxic workplace you got.
- (Chuckles) (Panting) You seen Annie since then? Is she coming around looking for the guy? You're a bottom feeder.
You're too sick to fit in with good people, but you don't have enough courage to be a real badass.
You know what that makes you? Mine.
- Aw, please, man.
Come on.
- And as 'mine' you're gonna go to the rattlesnake everyday.
If that asshole riddler approaches you, you're gonna call me.
Or if you hear a voice that sounds that maybe possibly, that's the guy you're going to call me.
Do you understand? You're going to fucking call me! Otherwise I'm gonna ring you up for hanging out at the daycare.
That's low, man.
I like the spy thing though.
Do I get a name? (Pained grunt) (Panting) (Heavy breathing) You're walking home.
(Footsteps crunch) (Engine rumbles) (Screen door opens) Annie: Hi.
I miss you.
I'm leaving.
Reuben's mom is driving us to band.
Hey! You're messing up my hair.
Do you like a boy in band? Are you having feelings that you don't know how to explain? Just because I don't want messy hair doesn't mean I'm hitting puberty.
I gotta go.
You always have to go.
You too.
Oh ah did you mean to throw this out? It's Grampa's.
(Footsteps thud) (Footstep thud) You always said you didn't want to know about that time in his life but something in me wouldn't let me get rid of it.
Don't go telling anyone I kept it.
Thanks.
(Footstep thud) Virginia: We're running out of time.
We cut Jed loose, he'll disappear.
Let's go through all of his known associates.
There's gotta be someone we can work.
He doesn't have a weak link.
And he knows it.
He's all balls, that guy.
You shoulda heard him on the phone saying shit about killing the chickens.
- What? Like a code? - Yeah.
He's giving orders from the station.
- That's what I'm saying.
- Why didn't you say anything? What do you want me to do? Ask Jed's guy what he's referring to? They don't say shit.
I put a cop on the guy's house.
Guy didn't come out all day.
- We got nothing.
- What was his name? Ah Anthony.
Anthony something.
- Greene? - Yeah.
- Get your coat.
- What's going on? We're getting a break.
Okay.
(Envelope rustles) Female moderator: Good morning, everyone.
Welcome to group therapy.
Clarence, let's start with you.
Clarence: Yeah.
Okay.
Um it was my daughter's birthday yesterday.
And I think of the first time I held her.
Just me and her.
Her mom asleep.
And all I promised to be.
I fail at that everyday.
Clarence: You need to listen carefully, all right? There's someone who loves you.
Who thinks he loves you.
I want to protect him 'cause he's had a terrible time.
But he's dangerous.
You understand? He's danger, anger.
You wouldn't know it just to look at him.
But he might be watching right now.
I fail at being a father.
Everyday Neil: At least you have a daughter.
Moderator: Neil.
You'll get your turn.
Neil: No, I won't! Because my daughter's dead.
My daughter's dead! My daughter's dead! He didn't protect her.
He didn't find out who hurt her.
Find out who hurt her! - Hey Julie.
- Hey.
When was Neil Driver last admitted? Uh 48 hours.
48 hours with no riddles.
(Door opens) (Door shuts) I missed you.
I understand your wariness.
Given what I did to you last time we were together.
You could have hurt me.
Violence is necessary.
It has to happen.
It's how we see the truth.
What is the truth about Jesse Sweetland? You don't get to just ask.
I don't have time for anymore games.
It's not your decision.
Anthony, we know you work for Jed.
We know that he called you from here.
And we know he spoke in code.
We got it on tape.
We know you're gonna lie for your boss.
Which is admirable, gives you cred, maybe a promotion when he gets out.
Except he's not getting out.
He's going away for murder.
Question is, are you going down with him.
What did the code mean? It meant there's some tight-ass woman cop - who works up here and needs - Hey! (Choking grunts) Show some respect, asshole.
(Small chuckle) How's your sis? Teaching school in Sudbury with her juvie record sealed.
I use to work there.
Every time we saw each other, she looked so scared I would out her.
How would it go over if it got out that she was involved in a home invasion gone so violently wrong.
That wasn't her.
I was the one who What was Jed telling you to do? It's schizo-affective disorder.
Delusions, paranoia, psychosis and lucid times, when he's really smart.
Would he be capable of intense, detail oriented, calculated thought? Annie, just cause our kids are friends doesn't mean I can discuss specifics.
Okay.
Talk generally.
Someone like Driver, would he, say, be able to create a piece of art with a message and then have the presence of mind not to leave any trace of himself behind? I guess it's possible.
Yes.
What about lighting fires? How do you know Neil? My dad worked the Sandy case.
Right.
That's why he feels connected to you.
When he's in the hospital, can he leave whenever he wants? He's not in a locked ward, so yeah.
The day I picked him up from the construction site, was he in the hospital the night before? The night Jesse Sweetland was killed? (Cell buzzes) Annie: Hello? Peter: Hey.
Remember the white truck you said Jed didn't own? Yeah.
We found it.
(Sizzling) Your guy Anthony said you instructed him to burn your white truck.
You spoke in code, on a recorded call.
Anthony said the code back to us without us telling him what it meant.
Burn the truck.
You're being charged with the murder of Jesse Sweetland.
Wait.
Okay.
Announcer: Leading the news in Bellevue.
An arrest has been made in the murder of Jesse Sweetland.
Jed Martin was taken into custody yesterday.
And is being held in county jail.
- Peter: Want a beer? - Annie: Yeah.
Thanks.
Hey Pete! Nice going, old man.
Just have to wait for the court to do its job now, huh? (Sniffling) (Stifled cries) (Calming exhales) (Hard slap) (Sniffles) (Embarrassed exhale) (Chuckles) I miss your dad.
He's away on so many damn business trips these days I forget I have a husband.
You're still pale.
Are you feeling sad about Jesse? Ah yeah.
A bit.
I'm not saying it's fair that fire burns, but are you brave if you run into a burning building because it's your right? Hm? That's Jesse.
Good God I make attractive offspring.
(Small laugh) You don't need to stay any longer.
Go find your friends, honey.
(Footsteps clomp) (Phone chimes) (Emotional breathing) The investors return tomorrow, and I've conveyed my intent to memorialize Jesse, along with the brewery opening.
So he will live on, as will we.
Your informant could be somebody looking to take over Jed's business.
What motive? And what? He was gonna sell drugs for leave town money and forgot the drugs at home? Peter: The earring just came back, Annie.
It tested positive for the lake water that Jesse was drowned in.
It was him.
Mr.
Cowan: Be careful what you say, Peter, she might come after you next.
She had no issue coming after my son.
Your son beat the shit out of Jesse.
My kid got involved in a fight.
You tried to corner him into saying he killed a friend.
Well, he didn't.
You were wrong.
- You can't handle that.
- Okay.
Take it easy.
(Door squeaks open) - Um I'll see you in there.
- Yeah.
(Door opens) We were both coming here anyway.
Me and her.
That's all.
It's no big deal.
I'm just surprised that you'd sleep with someone and then see them again.
Also, did you have sex with her the same day as me or did you wait like a full 24 hours, - so you felt that was okay? - Stop, Annie.
I can't deal with your bullshit right now.
- Are you okay? - Yeah.
I'm fine.
Just doesn't look like that work thing is gonna happen.
Why? I should (Door squeaks open) (Truck rumbles up) (Footsteps thud) Where do you go to get drunk? (Door shuts) She does this every time, Briana.
Low self esteem.
She thinks she deserves pathetic losers who are Hey.
My kid has that pathetic loser's DNA.
Ah, yeah.
Sorry.
So you still think Jed's innocent? Hard to explain away the lake water.
Why do I get the feeling that you're still gonna try? I guess I'm a shit disturber by nature.
(Laughs) Yeah.
I don't know what he's thinking.
You guys, you guys are meant to be together.
That's mildly offensive, considering you think he's a pathetic loser.
(Laughs) No.
Shit.
You're you're, you're strong.
You can handle a guy like that.
Briana Briana's not strong.
She she had a hard go.
She needs someone good, someone who'll take care of her.
That's Eddie.
Somebody with a strong faith.
That's you.
Brady: (Laughs) Well, I have gotten good reviews.
(Laughs) - I should - Yeah.
It's just ah Yep.
If you ahh (Rain patters, thunder rolls) (Door opens) (Flashlight clicks on) (Door clicks shut) (Newspaper rustles) (Crickets chirp) (Footsteps rustle in the foliage) (Crickets chirp outside) (Camera chimes) (Deep, heavy inhale and exhale) Voice: Hello, little light.
(Frightened exhale) (Frightened breaths) (Pulls the cord) Annie: Hey Jim, quick question.
How easy is it to hack into a surveillance camera? Jim: One connected to an IP address? Anyone with basic skills can do it.
Is it traceable? Jim: Generally if someone has intelligence enough to hack, they can cover tracks.
If I wanted to track it down, would they know? Jim: Pretty likely.
Okay.
(Approaching footstep thud) (Sighs) Are you a computer guy? I have something to show you.
It's mine.
I haven't seen it since the day you went away.
You think I'm Sandy.
How long has he been restrained? Since he was brought in screaming about some guy on the grounds earlier this evening.
Look, you can't be here.
So he's been in bed the whole time? He had no access to a computer? I'm getting security.
A man gave this to you? Do you remember what he looked like? - No.
- Tall? Short? White? I don't know.
I can't remember.
Which way did he go when he left? He went through the gate.
Into the woods.
He gave me my watch.
I haven't seen it since the day I went away.
What did you mean when you talked about violence the last time we saw each other? You don't remember? (Rail clangs) You aren't her.
You aren't him.
(Receding footsteps thud) I'd ask why you're here, but it's really obvious that you're following me.
Guess we're having some trust issues.
Obviously you don't want to tell me everything, but if you think I'm gonna leave you alone with this guy, you're crazy.
So why you don't tell me what you think you can tell me? I was looking at Driver.
As your riddler? It wasn't him.
Did you ever look at Driver for Sandy's murder? He thought I was Sandy.
He talked about violence between them the last time he saw her.
He was my pick for a while.
But not your dad.
Your dad never thought Driver.
He doesn't have an alibi for the night Jesse was killed.
What? This riddler is saying that there's a connection between Sandy and Jesse.
(Exhales) Annie we got the guy.
What do I have to say to you? Driver was investigated for Sandy.
Nothing came of it.
If we could have got him on something, we would've.
Are you gonna go or wait and try to follow me? (Car door opens) (Engine starts and rumbles away) (Swing squeaks) Annie: Hey, sorry to wake you.
Daisy: I'm just snuggling with Rory.
That hospital bracelet you found, it was in the trash, right? No.
It was on the pole.
Like when you lose your hat and someone hangs it up.
Figured someone left it there for us to find.
Someone did.
Daisy: Gotta go, Mom.
I love you.
Good night.
Love you.
12:13.
(Birds chirp) (Door opens) (Startled gasp) Jesus.
I guess they cut you loose.
Do you know who I am? Always in trouble, little Annie Ryder.
12:13, December 24th, 1994.
12:13, on your watch and clock.
It all stopped when Sandy died.
For you too.
Let's move past this.
I'm tired of being stuck.
Aren't you? 12:13.
Sandy was killed much later.
What happened at 12:13? I was angry.
I was desperate.
I thought (Muffled thud) (yelling) You aren't going anywhere near that church! You hear me?! You think you're better than me? That what they tell you at church? You're not.
- You belong in the gutter.
- (Sandy screams) Get out! Come here! Get over here! (Watch thuds) Where's your mother? Huh? (Glass shatters) Why would you think I'm leaving?! (Heavy breaths) Because you have snakes coming out of your eyes, and they tell me the truth of what you've been up to.
Someone else was here? Her friend took her away.
I thought Sandy had no friends.
Sh-she should have just left us alone! Then maybe my Sandy wouldn't have had to die! Who? I miss him.
I wasn't the mom he needed.
I wasn't present.
I didn't know him the way other people knew him.
That's any parent.
He was mixed up with a drug dealer.
I don't think it's what you think it is.
You think it was some kind of messed up sex thing with him and Jed? So why do you think he killed my baby? I think there's a more complicated picture here.
And I don't know what it looks like yet.
You don't think it was Jed? Is that what you're saying? I thought you were here as a friend? I am here as a friend.
To you, but also to Jesse.
Who I'm getting to know more and more.
And the thing that strikes me the most about him, Maggie, is his total commitment to the truth.
We owe him that truth back.
He made some choices that scared you.
It was easier to live in the dark and be his mom.
I so get that.
But right now, you regret that.
What then? What? Why are you here? You want to ask me something? Ask.
Did you know Sandy Driver? What the hell? What is this? What does that have to do with anything? Her dad said you were friends.
Barely.
Why? Did you witness an attack on Sandy by her dad, on December 24th? The day before she was found dead? What? I don't That was over 20-years-ago But she disappeared that night.
Her father admitted he came after her in a rage.
He said you got her out of there.
Why are you asking me this? I'm trying to understand if he would've wanted to hurt you, Maggie.
He was very angry with you.
He said you took away his daughter.
You need to stop.
I need this to be over! I need it to be over! I'm sorry.
- Just go! - I'll go.
- Go! - Sorry.
(Crying) I'll tell you the same thing I told your cold bitch of a partner.
You can ask until your eyes fall out.
My answer won't change.
I didn't do it.
There's one part of this whole thing I can't figure out.
The earring testing positive for pond water.
I can smell a set up here.
Someone's coming for me and they have thought this thing through.
I have enemies.
Your prints were on the earring.
The eagle feather.
You buried it.
I found it after the kid was killed.
I thought Jesse just left it there.
Why bury it? 'Cause I know they were gonna bury the kid in a suit! That's not who Jesse was.
Those earrings were Jesse.
(Sighs) Make a list of anyone who would have had access to that much of your product.
Why don't you think I did it? Because you cared about him.
People kill people they care about all the time.
To keep them.
You knew Jesse and Danny's plan to run.
You were gonna let them go.
She was a good kid.
Jesse referred to himself as she? She did at my house.
Jesse: I'm a straight boy.
I mean I was, that was me.
That's what I would tell myself.
You know as soon as I figured it out, like before I met you.
Before I even did anything, just thinking about it.
I felt like people could see it on me.
Like did you know when you first saw me? Danny: Yeah, because you were riding a bike.
(Laughing) Not all transsexuals ride a bike, but like most of us do.
(Laughing) (Footstep thud) (Cables rattle) (Cameras beep on) (Camera chimes) Announcer: Next Monday.
The search for the killer You know what you did! Announcer: makes Annie question everything I thought you could handle this, Annie.
Announcer: and everyone.
Tell me the truth and I'll start trusting you.
He's controlling you and I need you to see that.
