I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) Movie Script
Welcome home again.
Thank you very much, sir.
You're keeping a good pace.
Have a nice day.
Look at me, I need you, I need you.
...to take care of myself.
Who is she?
You'll have a good time tonight.
No!
Milo, what are you doing at our best friend's engagement party?
He was your boyfriend in high school.
Why do you care?
This dress sucks.
No, no.
Have a nice evening.
I miss you, mom.
Honey, I think you should talk to Milo tonight.
No.
No!
Is there a better time to rekindle your love than at my engagement party?
It's a lost cause.
With you looking so impressive, and the fireworks falling like a waterfall...
I wouldn't say it, so I had a session with the floor.
Wait, sorry, is the floor your life coach, your energy healer, or your psychic?
No, the floor is new.
This is a clarifying effect.
And he told me that, because Pluto is in Aquarius,
It means something life-changing is about to happen.
I don't believe in astrology.
It's not astrology, it's sympathy.
I see you looking at Ava.
I saw you looking at Ava. No, we're just friends, right?
I was glad to see her.
You know, keeping your feelings inside makes you sick.
Have you read "The Body Keeps Score"?
Dan picked it up from that fire.
You must read it.
Okay, yes.
I'm going to get a drink.
You will always be my number one.
And you mine.
Okay, Dad.
Ok.
I would like to thank you all for coming.
Teddy, watching you become the man you are...
With a strong conscience and a huge, huge heart, I couldn't be prouder.
But let's talk about the real star of the evening, Danica.
Your warmth and kindness are a blessing to every person who crosses paths with you.
To her health!
To Danica and Teddy!
Maybe you think it's for the best... Are our friends getting married?
Do you know something?
I believe it.
You can stay, you know.
We can make a small zoo with animals in our backyard.
I just don't think returning to Southport is in the cards for me.
Like Milo, would you give up your job in politics to move here?
No, not at all.
No.
But I don't come from a family of realtors, I'm just the anonymous grandchild.
Oh my God.
I'm just really touched that you called it an empire.
Thanks.
Although, it would be nice to take a trip to Los Angeles.
It's July 4th.
Children.
Thanks.
Yes;
Do you want to go for a walk?
You dirty, dirty dog.
Milo, you know he can't refuse.
Let's go, let's go.
We left, we left.
Wait, what?
No, I'm sober.
I'm going downstairs.
I don't care.
Is this Stevie?
Oh my God.
I feel like I'm still in high school.
Who are they?
Friend from my past life.
I was in high school, but after all the shit that had happened...
With her father, they went to university, and now she's stuck here.
What happened?
I divorced her.
He seems to be fine.
Wait, is it true that he went to Ria?
Yes.
Can you blame her for following her father?
Did he spend all of her financial aid on studies and abandon her?
We need to call her.
Yes.
Isn't that right?
I think it would be very beautiful.
Aquarius is on Pluto.
Let's go.
Do you want me to come?
Let's go.
Stevie!
How are you?
What are you doing here?
My boss works at the bar.
I just score.
This is a wonderful moment, because
We'll go see the fireworks from where we usually are.
You have to go.
You have the whole group together.
Dan.
They're all here.
Yes, I'm just looking at the time.
I can run it myself.
You have to leave.
This is the best view for the fireworks.
What?
What?
No!
Oh my God!
What?
No, what's going on?
Still, you hit the brakes.
And people say that women don't know how to drive.
Just for fun.
Just for fun.
Slowly, slowly.
Rude.
Let's light it.
I miss this shit.
I was hanging out with everyone.
I really got Stevie back.
My God, can you feel it?
This energy gives me the urge to get started.
Yes, I like it.
Cannabis makes him so annoying.
I mean, look at the fireworks.
It is poetry.
I come to this place for the magic.
Oh my God.
Because we need it.
All of us.
Okay, Nicole Kidman, but a car is coming.
To hell with this car.
Why is that?
Man versus machine.
I'll show you how amazing I am.
He will do it.
You are annoying.
It's not research.
Oh my God.
What's up, buddy?
Jesus Christ, Teddy.
My Superman.
What are you doing?
Stop it, Teddy.
Get off the road.
Are you going to let the car hit me?
Give me a blunt.
Oh my God.
What are we doing?
Give it to me!
Teddy, get him out of there.
What did you do?
Everyone hold back there.
What are we going to do?
Damn, damn.
We have to go there.
The person was still alive.
Everyone, calm down.
Calm down now.
Let's talk about that first.
What are you saying?
The person was alive.
We have to help him.
We must be careful what we say.
Who cares what we say?
We have to do something.
How are we going to get there? Stevie?
It's not realistic.
I think I should...
Dan dan.
I'll call the police.
I will call them.
Give me a minute.
I want to have sex with you here.
If this becomes a crime, you four smart lawyers...
I can't.
Why should it be a crime?
Stevie, I didn't do anything wrong.
It was an accident, right?
Something just went wrong.
It was in the middle of the road.
It wasn't an accident.
It was murder, Danica.
This road is not called "Death Turn" for nothing.
There are a lot of accidents here.
No one knows that Teddy was in the middle of the road.
We know it.
Okay, do you understand?
We are fine.
Everything is fine.
The police and rescue teams are coming.
We have to leave.
What?
Shouldn't we stay until they arrive?
Shouldn't we give them a deposit or something?
They will take the statement to the department.
No, no, no.
Teddy, I don't like leaving like this.
I don't think we should leave.
I just took my life back into my own hands.
I can't lose it all again.
Breathe.
Breathe.
Everything will be fine.
I promise you.
We just have to leave.
Ok;
No!
That guy was alive in the car.
We have to go help him.
What are you doing?
Ava!
Stevie!
We have to leave.
Let's get out of here.
Come.
Ava!
Ava, let's go!
Do you see it?
Everything will be fine.
Shouldn't we go to the police station?
Danish?
Danish!
Father will take care of everything.
Ok.
It's very important that no one says what happened tonight.
I think we all need to accept that before we leave.
Do we agree on this?
Stevie?
Yes.
Milo?
Where are you, Ava?
We say we won't tell anyone.
This could ruin our lives.
And Teddy wouldn't want that.
It was just a huge mistake.
Grant will make it look like I was never there.
Please.
I won't tell anyone.
ONE YEAR LATER
Welcome to Wilmington International Airport.
Hello, Milo.
Hi, sorry I'm a little late.
It does not matter.
I can take an Uber to Southport.
No, no, don't worry.
I'm almost there.
Certainly;
Yes.
Yes, I'll be there around 3.
Okay, see you soon.
It was nice to meet you.
Wait a minute.
Are you going to Southport?
I'm going there too.
Do you want to take me?
Who died, you?
I feel a tension inside the car.
Hi, Miles, is that your name?
Milo.
Ok...
Listen, it's been years since I slept with a man, but...
It seemed a bit "beta" to me, but I liked everything that was going on between you.
I'm just saying.
Ok.
How did you two meet?
Ava, we just met on the plane.
And you, Tyler, what brings you here?
I'm glad you asked.
I have a podcast about true crime, life, love, sacrifice.
I covered one of the most horrific cases of 2024.
I'm preparing an episode about the 9/7 massacre that happened here in Southport.
I would like to invite you on a "murder tour".
We'll think about it.
Hello, Mom!
I know I'm gone, but I didn't want to miss your bridal shower.
You look amazing.
Thanks!
Danika, the table is already full.
Where are you... look!
Stop it!
Milo, Ava, we're serious now.
So much has happened.
Work has completely gotten out of hand and... Okay, where do you want me to put these?
I think... yes, so do these.
Do you want to take this?
Naturally.
Thanks.
Thank you, my love.
I didn't know you were so close to Stevie.
Yes;
She was a very good friend, she helped me a lot last year.
Let's have a drink.
I have a bar for drinks.
Two fresh drinks, please!
Stevie!
It's great!
I know how much you love the mermaid, and it reminded me of that day.
That's exactly what I thought too.
You know me so well, diva.
Thanks.
Okay, let's move on to the next one.
Oh, that's from me.
This is a moonstone.
The lady at the store said it symbolizes new beginnings.
It reminded me of you.
I like it a lot.
I feel so loved today.
Okay, let's move on to the next one.
Chic and minimal.
It could be...
money;
A check maybe?
A gift card.
Let's see.
No more photos.
Who is this from?
No, who really brought it up?
What does it say?
Nothing.
Don't say anything.
Sure, probably for fun or something stupid.
Sorry, I probably took too much Adderall this morning.
Hunter, honey, I'm sorry. Okay, you can continue with the photos.
I know I should have waited until the end, but I couldn't bear it.
Don't say anything else.
You don't need to be here yet.
Hi.
Hi.
Take it, take it.
Hey, now that you're here, why don't you show everyone what you made in the house?
Show them what you did by the pool.
He calls it "his refuge."
This is Stevie.
Wow, diva, you should probably be in the kitchen, okay?
Yes.
Yes.
Thanks.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
I can't believe he did that.
What in...?
Teddy.
He's obviously trying to make a fool of me.
This is the reason we broke up.
He is small-minded and emotionally unstable.
And I know he's almost an alcoholic.
But he took care of me when Teddy lost control last year.
I'm sorry, but how are you so sure it's from Teddy?
Are you stupid, Milo?
Apart from us, no one else knew what happened, except Teddy's father.
Unless it's related to the person who was in the car.
Sam Cooper?
You know I looked for everyone too.
Yes, but he had no relatives at all.
At least I didn't find anyone.
Which ironically makes the whole thing even sadder.
What if someone had seen us?
What if someone saw what happened?
Dot.
Either I'm being blackmailed or it's my ex trying to ruin my life.
Oh my God.
Teddy?
Visiting hours are over.
Hi.
My friends who I missed a lot.
How sweet of you to call. How was Danica's party?
Is that where clown hell is?
Yes.
Teddy Wyatt was in the shower wearing his fiance's wedding dress.
What the hell?
Danica got a card today.
The Queen, Danica.
I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER
Is this funny or what?
No... I don't understand.
Danica thinks you sent it and she's mad at you.
This is true.
Yes.
No.
Damn.
Um... yeah, I... I don't want anything to do with this.
Please go away, please go away.
I have enough problems with my father, as it is.
Teddy, Teddy, we need to talk about this.
Someone is cleaning the house.
Danica got that damn grade.
It's Danica's problem, okay?
Fuck off. What the hell are you doing getting off my boat?
Can we just talk about it?
Go away!
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Teddy, seriously?
Damn.
Do you need help?
You scared me.
Are you okay?
Yes, I thought I heard something.
I know what this is about.
Wedding dress.
Baby.
I'm not Teddy, okay?
I don't want to be looking for you a month before the wedding.
I know.
Do you remember what Dr. Emma said?
Trust your actions and my words.
You are safe.
Here.
Welcome to the queen of meditation.
Let's get started.
Who is he?
What the hell, man?
And in this moment of absolute calm, you began to feel the branches within you.
My branches are always growing.
Exhale your fear now.
You can take whatever you want.
Take my crypto wallet.
Please.
Please stop.
Please.
Please stop.
Stop.
Love.
I feel much better.
Wedding atmosphere!
Wyatt?
You can't erase the past.
I was at home.
It was so bad I didn't hear it.
How did I not hear that?
It didn't make me a widow.
Yes, but you're like a hot widow.
It's so hard to say how difficult it was for me to get involved.
Oh my God, are you kidding?
Teddy, I don't think this is the right time.
Annika.
Annika, we are sorry for your loss.
I've made arrangements with Police Chief Roberts.
We have a patrol car outside.
Make sure they look after her.
Teddy
Thanks.
Ok.
What can we do?
Wait, what do you need?
Let me go home.
You know the meme is like, someone you love dies.
And you continue your skin care routine.
I know the answer is yes.
How are you feeling?
I know.
It feels like an eternity now.
Yes.
I'm so glad Stevie was there for you last year.
Because I know it wasn't me.
I am sorry.
I am sorry.
What?
For that?
Because I did something so terrible that it forced you to lie, Ava.
Like I understood why you didn't want to talk to me.
No, I couldn't talk to you, because I couldn't talk to anyone.
What I did was so bad.
I felt so dark.
I felt like the guilt would swallow me up.
And I thought you were fine.
I'm not well.
I better pretend to be me.
I have never had such a horrible night as this.
No, I'm stressed.
Don't be shocked.
I have my shit.
Nobody notices it.
Yes, I know that well.
Do you think it's some kind of karma for what I did?
I don't know.
It can.
I'm sorry this happened to you.
And I missed you a lot.
I missed you too.
Can we be quiet?
Everything will be fine.
Are you sure?
No.
But no matter what, I'll be here.
Do you promise?
Yes, I promise.
Okay, I'm asking the question we're all thinking.
Is someone chasing us?
I know it sounds crazy, but what happened to White?
Agree.
It doesn't seem like a coincidence, but it doesn't make sense.
And yet White was not with us.
What if this is just a random psychopath?
Danny, there was a threatening message written in blood.
I need to start drinking.
Okay, who else knows besides the five of us?
Teddy, your father?
Do you think my father would commit a violent crime in the UK?
And would he try to prove it? How perfect is Southport?
Grant told someone.
No chance.
Also, what you said to Chief Roberts, maybe he should go.
Wonderful.
What about your girl? Were you there that night, Stevie?
No chance.
I didn't tell her.
What about your new girlfriend, David?
The girl on the plane, Tyler.
Which girl?
Have you met any girls?
Yes, he has a crime podcast.
It's called "I Live, I Laugh, I Sacrifice."
Oh, wait, I found it.
It's so hot.
Very hot.
Has he ever rapped?
I don't know.
Wait, listen.
What do you say, Banda Slater?
Next week, I have a story that will grab you.
In 1997, a cold-blooded killer terrorized a group of teenagers,
who believed they could get away with murder.
He cut them one by one with his horrible hook.
And it all started with an anonymous message.
I have an anonymous message!
Yes, that's why we're here.
Okay, let's examine your theory, Milo.
Tyler, a random girl I met on a flight,
He came all the way to Southport because he knows exactly what I did over the summer.
So that she can kill us all for her podcast.
It doesn't make sense.
I don't think we should ignore it.
Listen, with Ava, I don't think she's the podcast girl, but...
I know.
There are many similarities with 1997.
Even if we wanted to look for her, I couldn't.
Dad had erased all traces of him from the internet.
But that waned his interest.
I think it's time to start and
to dive into our local history.
This place is fucked.
This place is as strange as it is crazy.
When I first came, I was speechless by the genius.
It's like a murder that never happened.
This place is so beautiful.
which makes me want to die, but I realized it was on purpose.
After the fall in real estate prices following the '97 murders,
Grant, a skilled builder, saw the opportunity
to transform this town from a haunted fishing village to the Hamptons of the South.
But it wasn't for everyone.
because of ghettoization.
Tyler.
Hi.
Thank you for coming.
Yes, I was very happy that you sent me a message.
I came here alone.
So, show me a new neighborhood in Southport.
Our journey begins with...
The house on the bay?
No, it's not about Bayside House.
It's about what existed before.
Let's go.
Really opened up the city
in crime and I built a house of soul, right?
I don't understand.
What does 97 have to do with Bayside?
This was the site of one of the most horrific fishing crimes.
Souvenirs.
Did you do it?
I sell them on Etsy.
Oh my God, wasn't that hot?
As if he died.
Okay, imagine this.
Almost 30 years ago, Julie James,
from Southport, on the way back from university,
received an anonymous note.
And suddenly the dead start to pile up.
Do you know what the note said?
I know what you did last summer.
Listen, how bad is the handwriting?
If I were a criminal, my handwriting would nail me.
Are you Julie James?
No, actually.
She is one of the two who survived.
He now teaches at Hoffman.
I tried to interview her about it.
I sent an email about limits or something.
Will you wait here for a while?
Yes, I want to see if I can find anything interesting up there.
Send a message so you don't get killed.
Can someone pick me up? I'm at Bayside House.
Tyler is gone.
Send.
Tyler?
Nice outfit, but I don't like this.
Seriously, it's not funny.
Ava?
Who is this?
Tyler, go away!
Ava, where the hell is she?
I don't know.
Tyler!
Go away!
Go away!
Do it!
What a shithole!
No!
Steve, get out of here!
Ava...
You don't need to do this.
Please, we swear.
I am a fan.
Wow, I'm a fan.
I am a fan.
I am a fan.
Ava!
Ava.
The door is locked!
Ava!
Are you okay?
Yes.
Did something happen to you?
No, I'm fine.
You need to take care of this mess.
Yes, of course.
I will take care of it.
Chief Roberts, do you have any idea who's doing this?
Leader.
Yes;
The girls' licenses are at risk.
I'll be right back.
Listen, I know we're going to have a lot of questions, okay?
We're having a citizens' meeting tomorrow at city hall.
to discuss these recent events, okay?
I have to leave.
I am sorry.
Chief...
The police are all in Pratt's hands.
They won't help us.
Then we'll find someone who will do it.
It will happen again!
This is what the nervous system says when you are repeatedly exposed to danger.
People with complex PTSD may not fully understand
their own behavior, why they make these decisions.
Until you process your trauma.
He will take care of you. Because the wounds...
...they change the brain in mysterious and complex ways.
Julie!
Julie!
Julie!
Julie!
My name is Ava Brooks.
I'm from Southport.
And I was attacked by a fisherman.
Very funny.
I'm not kidding.
It had a hook.
And I fought, but my friend died.
He's the second victim in two days, and another friend...
He was getting good grades before all this started.
Just like you.
And what do you think? What should I do about it?
I just need your help.
You experienced it once, and my friends and I were very scared.
Someone is chasing us.
I just have one question.
What did you do last summer?
I'm very sorry.
I was just looking at my things.
I only had lemon ginger.
I hope it's okay.
Yes, it's perfect.
Did most people die?
Yes.
But it's not for my friends.
It's for you.
If history is any indication, the killer is related to the boy who died.
What do you know about him?
I didn't find much.
Are you serious?
Why don't you search his entire life on the internet?
Not him.
I found an old address for an apartment in Southport,
but nothing before that.
And the police downplay it because they don't want to
to scare the tourists who are in the city.
I'm glad that A.T. Southport remains a champion in gaslighting.
Do you want to go there again together?
It is only 45 minutes away and today has a city council.
We can go there and push...
I had made a vow a long time ago.
that I will never return to Southport.
They didn't listen to me then, and I'm sure they wouldn't listen to me now either.
Whoever does this, it's personal to them.
You can't run, you can't hide.
The only way to save yourself is to find who's doing it, before they find you.
I left the scene with the police for the rest of the weekend.
How do I explain to my children what happened yesterday?
I understood those who saw what happened, but
This was about a troubled young woman who just wanted to hurt herself.
This is nonsense!
If you could calm down, please.
Ava, we are so sorry for what you went through yesterday.
I can't imagine how painful that would be.
to be there, but your friend was deeply disturbed.
I learned that she recently stopped her psychiatric treatment.
This is extremely convenient.
Shall I suggest an alternative, Grant?
The night before last, a man was murdered at his fiance's house.
And yesterday, just before Tyler was killed, someone was watching me.
near the house at the sea, wearing a raincoat and a hook.
Ok;
And last July 4th...
If you're referring to the young man who was killed, he was
drug user, was driving a stolen vehicle.
Tragic, but completely unrelated to the rest.
Really, now you're sitting there and pretending nothing happened,
as if it's never happened before in Southport?
You need to listen to her.
This is not the first time there has been violence.
like the one in Southport, and you know it well.
Hi, Ray.
Is this your boss?
I assume you mean what happened in 1997?
Exactly.
Southport is a very different place now than it was then.
And I'm sorry, but I don't see a connection between burglary,
to suicide and to something that happened 30 years ago.
Mercy...
She said someone was following her with a hook.
Do something about it.
It won't stop.
Listen to me, I want to assure you all.
We will have the support of our friends
from the Southport Police Department, for your safety.
And one last thing.
The doors of Jude the Shepherd will always be open at Trinity Church Southport,
if anyone needs a sympathetic ear after this tragedy.
Pastor.
You are all welcome.
I organized a prayer meeting for tonight at 8:00.
Thank you, pastor.
See you at the festival.
Why didn't you ever tell me what happened to you?
It's something I don't want to talk about.
What's up, Stevie?
What was all this at city hall?
You said I could talk to you about everything.
We don't need to tell you anything.
Who are "we"?
We need to find out who knew Sam Cooper.
Everyone has someone, and Julie said that's the key.
Wait, did you go see Julie?
Isn't Julie your ex-wife?
Sorry, do you mean you were married to Julie James?
Unfortunately.
Guys, I know what we have to do.
We need to get Fleur on the case.
Who is Fleur?
Don't ask.
Claire Kung is getting attention.
If someone is chasing us, why don't we run away?
We're taking the keys to my boat and going to the Bahamas for a while.
Simple.
For reasons I don't want to explain, I don't.
What about the car?
Grant said it was stolen.
Did you know?
No.
No, I didn't know that.
What if we need a police report?
Would there even be an official report if Grant covered his tracks?
When they pulled the truck out of the sea, they took it somewhere.
You need to find out who the car belonged to.
Be careful.
You too.
I love you.
Pick us up later.
Hi.
Can I help you?
We hope you can help us get some...
We hope you can help us with a record of a car that arrived here.
We have his license plate number.
Um...
We...
I need a license plate number.
Well, basically, that's part of the problem.
Um...
You see, my brother was involved in a terrible car accident.
And I made the mistake of not writing down the license plate number.
Not even the license plate number.
If you can help us... I know I'm asking a lot.
It does not matter.
It does not matter.
You will help us, won't you?
Please, sir.
Do you have anything?
Brand and model?
Yes.
It was a Dodge pickup.
Late 90s.
It must have come around the end of July.
Dodge Ram, arrived July 5th last year.
Yes, yes.
Exactly that.
Now it is completely broken.
It's registered to the name Judah Gillespie.
Is he your brother?
Yes.
Yes, that's him.
What are you doing here?
This cemetery is the only place where I found a Sam Cooper connection to '87.
So there must be something here.
Tombstones everywhere.
Buried with big, big penises.
Wait, wait.
Look.
He writes 1997.
It must be one of them.
And Mike Snurik.
Alan Shears.
Oh my God!
She was a true queen, just like me.
Oh my god, the ultimate diva.
So creepy.
Are we done?
I confirmed that those buried here are still dead and I don't want to follow them.
You have terrible behavior.
Sorry, Alan.
Come on, let's go.
We are leaving.
It will be dark.
Oh my God.
Teddy, these are fresh flowers.
Someone left them recently.
If he had no one, then who brought them?
Hey, buddy!
Did you happen to see who came and left these here?
No.
People come and go all day long.
What about the rooms?
Naturally.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Let's go.
He's not going to come back.
Maybe it was for the photo.
Isn't it worth knowing who left the flowers?
Okay, I'll look into it.
But I bet it was him.
Ok.
Condolences for your loss.
Do you have any more beer?
They are all good.
Sorry.
Yes!
I was running like a slut!
What a warm welcome.
I thought you came to kill me.
Even worse.
Believe it or not, I was worried about you.
Can I come in?
I know we're not exactly friends.
But after all that, it seemed wrong not to see you.
Don't let me see how you are.
Who does it really concern, Ray?
Because I don't believe a word of "I was worried about you, I'm a good guy."
Oh, indeed.
So what were you thinking? Is that what you told Ava?
Natos!
You told her to follow the killer.
And then?
To kill him?
Have you lost your fucking mind?
She asked for help and I told her what I thought she should do.
Oh, okay.
So give her advice from the comfort of your home,
and send him back to Southport to die alone.
Unlike you, I haven't repressed what happened to us.
I carry it every day, too. Just like you.
But putting all the blame on them is not fair.
A friend of hers who is involved works at my bar.
He is a good boy.
He obviously did something wrong.
You know that better than anyone.
Sometimes you just hang out with the wrong people.
Yes, I know that.
Ava?
What happened, Stevie?
Did the police find anything that would help with the identification?
The police found nothing.
We need to talk to Judah.
What if Sam stole his car... and what if he didn't? What if Sam didn't steal it after all?
Do you think Sam and Judah are connected?
So you think Judah left the flowers?
Oh my God, enough of the Scooby Doo nonsense for two fucking minutes.
Danica almost died tonight.
We can...
Are you sure you don't want to do something else now?
Ok.
You're funny, Danica.
Shit.
I have to go back to the bar.
Be careful, Stevie.
Should I tell Judas to do a good deed for you?
Nobody sleeps alone.
Are you okay with that?
Yes, yes.
Sounds like a good idea.
I love you.
We'll see about that.
I love you.
Good night.
Do you want a hug?
Nobody sleeps alone.
The hat was thrown away.
That was it.
I was hurt.
But no. We have to think about it.
Sorry.
I saw Teddy's mom kissing the tennis teacher here once.
Oh yes?
Well done, Jill.
Yes.
Bear with me.
Punish me.
I deserve punishment.
What?
Don't do anything.
We don't need to do this.
Sorry.
I think I need some time.
What are you doing?
She wants you to strangle her.
So strangle her.
Where is my charger?
Ava?
Milo.
Milo.
Sorry.
I just don't know how to handle all of this, okay?
Please, take me back?
Have you heard anything from Milo?
It's me.
Yes;
Can I help you?
Sorry.
We are looking for the shepherd Jude.
Hi, I remember you.
You are friends with Stevie.
I am very sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
That's why we came.
We struggled a lot with our pain.
Of course you did.
Shepherd Judah is not here now.
Maybe I can help.
Yes.
Can I use the toilet?
Naturally.
He is in the hallway.
Ava?
Pastor.
Hello.
I was hoping we could talk.
This was all so dark.
Naturally.
It's a horrible time.
There was so much loss.
Why don't you give her that book about pain that you should have read?
We lost a member of our community last year.
He died in a car accident.
Thank you, Hannah.
When did this happen?
I don't remember exactly.
I understand why you are suffering.
It is difficult to accept that death comes for all of us.
Give me a minute to bring the book right away.
It does not matter.
I would prefer to talk.
Just take some time.
Insist.
Let this book remind you that death is part of the divine order.
Thanks.
This is Judah.
He's hiding something.
You need to go talk to him.
These are serious accusations.
I'm glad you came to me.
Half a minute.
Let me talk to one of my officers.
Thanks.
Hold on tight.
I think it will help us.
You have called Milo Griffin.
Leave a message.
Ava, she told me what happened.
Don't let feelings defeat you.
I'm going to the gym to be ready for her mother.
Take me back.
Mr. Spencer, this is Ms. Brooks and Ms. Richards.
They're in hysterics, so I thought I'd keep them here.
Good thought.
Let them stay with Southport's hospital tonight.
Should I send a message that my friend died?
My cell phone is in that corner.
What are you doing?
Seriously now?
Can you hear me?
Don't let her stay here!
Danika, I'm starting to panic a little.
Where are you?
Are you okay?
Did everything go well with...?
Take me back, okay?
You called Teddy.
Leave a message.
Shit...
I won't answer.
Hi.
Hi.
I promised my father that I would take care of you.
And I intend to keep that promise.
Nothing will happen to you.
Can you hear me?
I hear you.
You need to get out of this, Stevie.
More than anyone, you deserve it.
Let's go now.
What's going on?
Threatening!
No!
Aid!
Threatening!
Yale!
Oh my God...
Ren!
Ren!
Oh my God...
Oh my God...
Aid!
Help us!
Someone, help!
Ren!
Are you okay?
Ren!
Ava?
No.
It's not my fault.
It's not my fault.
It's not my fault.
Of course it's your fault.
You are the girl in the photo.
I have a name too, you know.
Ellen Shavers.
And don't forget it.
I was going south to get a salad at Croaker Queen and...
I shouldn't say my age.
Be careful, baby.
I have a hook.
You are beautiful.
Thanks.
Poor fool.
He didn't deserve this.
I didn't intend for any of this to happen.
You killed Sam Cooper.
Now your fianc is dead too.
No.
This is not true.
Maybe it's not me.
But this corpse is.
He died completely alone.
While you were taking a bath.
No, I... I heard it, but I didn't know what it was.
You're going to die, Danica.
Please!
I just want to wake up!
Stay in the dream as long as you can.
Nothing good awaits you on the other side.
I didn't want to die either.
I find you a bad character.
But when you're faced with evil... you have to stop it.
Are you okay?
I had a bad dream.
Something is happening.
You can leave.
Follow them if you want.
The crowd is asked to disperse.
Go away!
I know it's hard, but you have to leave, or you'll be trapped here.
Send a message to Milo.
Tell him to wait for us at the port.
Let's start.
This is his car.
Thank God, we have to leave!
Milo?
No!
No!
Oh, no!
Ava, I'm sorry!
Sorry!
Hands up!
Judas, raise your hands!
Let me see them!
How are you?
Brad.
Are you okay?
Did the hook fall straight?
Leader.
Look at this.
It's Sam Cooper.
Is that him?
Yes.
What the hell do you want?
When did he die?
I thought it was known by now.
Shut it down!
Don't do anything stupid.
You're a crazy, psychopathic bitch!
Don't call Ava crazy.
It's so derogatory.
A strong woman, taking control...
and then they call her crazy just because she's dating.
Do you want to interrupt me or let me finish?
When my family broke up and my father abandoned me...
Things got dark for me.
Then I went to detox and felt like I was reborn.
I was finally ready to leave everything behind.
And my friends threw me in the trash.
Sam was afraid I would relapse.
That's why he took the car and came with Judah to pick me up.
I didn't know what he was like until the body washed up.
Judah took Grant's money to keep it a secret.
We got rid of him before we reached the port, to close out pending matters.
Why are you telling us this now?
Why don't you kill us like the others?
She took away the one I loved the most.
And I wanted you to know that I did the same to you.
We should have stayed.
We could have helped him.
You left that night too, Stevie.
Do you remember?
I was going to the department!
And what is your plan?
Are you going to kill us?
Are you going to steal Teddy's boat?
Will this please you?
Yes. Quite a lot.
You know, after I realized it was him...
I seriously thought about committing suicide.
But then I thought, why should I die, when he stole everything from me?
Damn it!
This thing is fucking perfect.
No!
No!
Damn it, bitch!
What do you say?
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
I'm fine.
He has a tear in his back.
Get away from my best friend, bitch!
Go to hell, you fucking bitch!
Shut it down!
Leave her alone, Stevie!
What are you doing there, huh?
The police were looking for you.
I didn't tell them anything.
Stevie, leave her alone!
All...
they are dead!
We still have time, Stevie. We'll figure it out.
Don't do that.
No!
Equally, yes.
Why didn't you come to me?
I...
It shouldn't have ended like this.
And yet, that's how it happened.
They took everything. From me.
It's probably...
It's over.
It's over.
It's over.
I am safe.
I'm going back to the boat with Ray.
Joey, it was Stevie from the beginning.
I don't understand how she managed it on her own.
You must have been in a lot of pain to do that.
Joey said that trauma changes people.
But I didn't know it was changing so much.
Don't reduce the power.
of the bond that someone may have with their abuser.
How did you overcome it? When did it happen to you?
There's no getting around that.
It just changes you.
You learn to adapt.
Do you want a clean shirt?
Okay, thank you.
Put it on.
I say leave slowly.
Thank you for everything.
Should I take you home?
No, okay.
A little walk will do me good.
Just one problem.
You know how I was, right?
Stevie said we should have let you live.
You're the only one who did what was needed that night.
You killed your partner.
Is that what you're saying?
Don't kill me, please.
I don't think I have a choice.
Ava?
Julie?
Oh my God...
Do you know something?
Everything will be fine.
Find the police on the street.
You won't die today.
Can you hear me?
Okay, okay.
Happy 4th of July, Julie.
I thought you weren't coming back to Southport.
How did you understand that?
It seemed like Stevie asked you for help, didn't it?
Everyone had stepped on her in her life.
Her friends.
He wanted revenge and I knew how to help him.
Nothing wakes people up like a crime scene.
So you took advantage of what happened to us?
They tried to erase every trace of this place.
They tried to erase us.
They walk around here as if nothing ever happened.
I had to make them remember.
And so there we are.
It's 1997 again.
Isn't it nostalgic?
Nostalgia is overrated.
Who cares if they tried to delete us, Ray?
You have to leave it behind.
You know what? I think I'll say you killed them all.
At first I thought about getting rid of you, then I changed my mind.
I understood that you are the ideal, the thankless, the right choice.
The difficult Julie James, who couldn't escape her past...
...and now she's in control.
So what are you waiting for?
It's going to hurt, honey.
What are you waiting for?
Fuck the 4th of July.
I completely agree.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Are you okay?
Hospital, hospital, okay.
I'm Isabella Tsarmatis too, do you know that?
You know, you look a little like a real mermaid.
Correctly;
This is me.
That's you.
You really are.
Did you go to the car?
Yes, I have one.
Okay, okay.
You are stronger than you think. I am always here for you.
Keep moving forward. Love, Julie
Should I say something?
Starve.
Oh my God.
Me too.
When was the last time we ate something?
I don't know.
How are you feeling?
Better.
You;
Better.
Even though it was crap.
I think part of my stomach is in the sea.
Yes, this whole experience gets a zero out of ten.
Without a single star.
At all.
At all.
And think that maybe all of this could have been avoided...
...if men just went to a psychologist, right?
I love you.
I love you so much.
You were right, Salome.
You are my other half.
Yes, I think it's time to say that the Divas are back.
Oh my God, I forgot to tell you.
What?
Stevie lives.
What the hell?
Should we kill her?
It sounds extreme, but yes, probably.
Yes.
Thank you very much, sir.
You're keeping a good pace.
Have a nice day.
Look at me, I need you, I need you.
...to take care of myself.
Who is she?
You'll have a good time tonight.
No!
Milo, what are you doing at our best friend's engagement party?
He was your boyfriend in high school.
Why do you care?
This dress sucks.
No, no.
Have a nice evening.
I miss you, mom.
Honey, I think you should talk to Milo tonight.
No.
No!
Is there a better time to rekindle your love than at my engagement party?
It's a lost cause.
With you looking so impressive, and the fireworks falling like a waterfall...
I wouldn't say it, so I had a session with the floor.
Wait, sorry, is the floor your life coach, your energy healer, or your psychic?
No, the floor is new.
This is a clarifying effect.
And he told me that, because Pluto is in Aquarius,
It means something life-changing is about to happen.
I don't believe in astrology.
It's not astrology, it's sympathy.
I see you looking at Ava.
I saw you looking at Ava. No, we're just friends, right?
I was glad to see her.
You know, keeping your feelings inside makes you sick.
Have you read "The Body Keeps Score"?
Dan picked it up from that fire.
You must read it.
Okay, yes.
I'm going to get a drink.
You will always be my number one.
And you mine.
Okay, Dad.
Ok.
I would like to thank you all for coming.
Teddy, watching you become the man you are...
With a strong conscience and a huge, huge heart, I couldn't be prouder.
But let's talk about the real star of the evening, Danica.
Your warmth and kindness are a blessing to every person who crosses paths with you.
To her health!
To Danica and Teddy!
Maybe you think it's for the best... Are our friends getting married?
Do you know something?
I believe it.
You can stay, you know.
We can make a small zoo with animals in our backyard.
I just don't think returning to Southport is in the cards for me.
Like Milo, would you give up your job in politics to move here?
No, not at all.
No.
But I don't come from a family of realtors, I'm just the anonymous grandchild.
Oh my God.
I'm just really touched that you called it an empire.
Thanks.
Although, it would be nice to take a trip to Los Angeles.
It's July 4th.
Children.
Thanks.
Yes;
Do you want to go for a walk?
You dirty, dirty dog.
Milo, you know he can't refuse.
Let's go, let's go.
We left, we left.
Wait, what?
No, I'm sober.
I'm going downstairs.
I don't care.
Is this Stevie?
Oh my God.
I feel like I'm still in high school.
Who are they?
Friend from my past life.
I was in high school, but after all the shit that had happened...
With her father, they went to university, and now she's stuck here.
What happened?
I divorced her.
He seems to be fine.
Wait, is it true that he went to Ria?
Yes.
Can you blame her for following her father?
Did he spend all of her financial aid on studies and abandon her?
We need to call her.
Yes.
Isn't that right?
I think it would be very beautiful.
Aquarius is on Pluto.
Let's go.
Do you want me to come?
Let's go.
Stevie!
How are you?
What are you doing here?
My boss works at the bar.
I just score.
This is a wonderful moment, because
We'll go see the fireworks from where we usually are.
You have to go.
You have the whole group together.
Dan.
They're all here.
Yes, I'm just looking at the time.
I can run it myself.
You have to leave.
This is the best view for the fireworks.
What?
What?
No!
Oh my God!
What?
No, what's going on?
Still, you hit the brakes.
And people say that women don't know how to drive.
Just for fun.
Just for fun.
Slowly, slowly.
Rude.
Let's light it.
I miss this shit.
I was hanging out with everyone.
I really got Stevie back.
My God, can you feel it?
This energy gives me the urge to get started.
Yes, I like it.
Cannabis makes him so annoying.
I mean, look at the fireworks.
It is poetry.
I come to this place for the magic.
Oh my God.
Because we need it.
All of us.
Okay, Nicole Kidman, but a car is coming.
To hell with this car.
Why is that?
Man versus machine.
I'll show you how amazing I am.
He will do it.
You are annoying.
It's not research.
Oh my God.
What's up, buddy?
Jesus Christ, Teddy.
My Superman.
What are you doing?
Stop it, Teddy.
Get off the road.
Are you going to let the car hit me?
Give me a blunt.
Oh my God.
What are we doing?
Give it to me!
Teddy, get him out of there.
What did you do?
Everyone hold back there.
What are we going to do?
Damn, damn.
We have to go there.
The person was still alive.
Everyone, calm down.
Calm down now.
Let's talk about that first.
What are you saying?
The person was alive.
We have to help him.
We must be careful what we say.
Who cares what we say?
We have to do something.
How are we going to get there? Stevie?
It's not realistic.
I think I should...
Dan dan.
I'll call the police.
I will call them.
Give me a minute.
I want to have sex with you here.
If this becomes a crime, you four smart lawyers...
I can't.
Why should it be a crime?
Stevie, I didn't do anything wrong.
It was an accident, right?
Something just went wrong.
It was in the middle of the road.
It wasn't an accident.
It was murder, Danica.
This road is not called "Death Turn" for nothing.
There are a lot of accidents here.
No one knows that Teddy was in the middle of the road.
We know it.
Okay, do you understand?
We are fine.
Everything is fine.
The police and rescue teams are coming.
We have to leave.
What?
Shouldn't we stay until they arrive?
Shouldn't we give them a deposit or something?
They will take the statement to the department.
No, no, no.
Teddy, I don't like leaving like this.
I don't think we should leave.
I just took my life back into my own hands.
I can't lose it all again.
Breathe.
Breathe.
Everything will be fine.
I promise you.
We just have to leave.
Ok;
No!
That guy was alive in the car.
We have to go help him.
What are you doing?
Ava!
Stevie!
We have to leave.
Let's get out of here.
Come.
Ava!
Ava, let's go!
Do you see it?
Everything will be fine.
Shouldn't we go to the police station?
Danish?
Danish!
Father will take care of everything.
Ok.
It's very important that no one says what happened tonight.
I think we all need to accept that before we leave.
Do we agree on this?
Stevie?
Yes.
Milo?
Where are you, Ava?
We say we won't tell anyone.
This could ruin our lives.
And Teddy wouldn't want that.
It was just a huge mistake.
Grant will make it look like I was never there.
Please.
I won't tell anyone.
ONE YEAR LATER
Welcome to Wilmington International Airport.
Hello, Milo.
Hi, sorry I'm a little late.
It does not matter.
I can take an Uber to Southport.
No, no, don't worry.
I'm almost there.
Certainly;
Yes.
Yes, I'll be there around 3.
Okay, see you soon.
It was nice to meet you.
Wait a minute.
Are you going to Southport?
I'm going there too.
Do you want to take me?
Who died, you?
I feel a tension inside the car.
Hi, Miles, is that your name?
Milo.
Ok...
Listen, it's been years since I slept with a man, but...
It seemed a bit "beta" to me, but I liked everything that was going on between you.
I'm just saying.
Ok.
How did you two meet?
Ava, we just met on the plane.
And you, Tyler, what brings you here?
I'm glad you asked.
I have a podcast about true crime, life, love, sacrifice.
I covered one of the most horrific cases of 2024.
I'm preparing an episode about the 9/7 massacre that happened here in Southport.
I would like to invite you on a "murder tour".
We'll think about it.
Hello, Mom!
I know I'm gone, but I didn't want to miss your bridal shower.
You look amazing.
Thanks!
Danika, the table is already full.
Where are you... look!
Stop it!
Milo, Ava, we're serious now.
So much has happened.
Work has completely gotten out of hand and... Okay, where do you want me to put these?
I think... yes, so do these.
Do you want to take this?
Naturally.
Thanks.
Thank you, my love.
I didn't know you were so close to Stevie.
Yes;
She was a very good friend, she helped me a lot last year.
Let's have a drink.
I have a bar for drinks.
Two fresh drinks, please!
Stevie!
It's great!
I know how much you love the mermaid, and it reminded me of that day.
That's exactly what I thought too.
You know me so well, diva.
Thanks.
Okay, let's move on to the next one.
Oh, that's from me.
This is a moonstone.
The lady at the store said it symbolizes new beginnings.
It reminded me of you.
I like it a lot.
I feel so loved today.
Okay, let's move on to the next one.
Chic and minimal.
It could be...
money;
A check maybe?
A gift card.
Let's see.
No more photos.
Who is this from?
No, who really brought it up?
What does it say?
Nothing.
Don't say anything.
Sure, probably for fun or something stupid.
Sorry, I probably took too much Adderall this morning.
Hunter, honey, I'm sorry. Okay, you can continue with the photos.
I know I should have waited until the end, but I couldn't bear it.
Don't say anything else.
You don't need to be here yet.
Hi.
Hi.
Take it, take it.
Hey, now that you're here, why don't you show everyone what you made in the house?
Show them what you did by the pool.
He calls it "his refuge."
This is Stevie.
Wow, diva, you should probably be in the kitchen, okay?
Yes.
Yes.
Thanks.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
I can't believe he did that.
What in...?
Teddy.
He's obviously trying to make a fool of me.
This is the reason we broke up.
He is small-minded and emotionally unstable.
And I know he's almost an alcoholic.
But he took care of me when Teddy lost control last year.
I'm sorry, but how are you so sure it's from Teddy?
Are you stupid, Milo?
Apart from us, no one else knew what happened, except Teddy's father.
Unless it's related to the person who was in the car.
Sam Cooper?
You know I looked for everyone too.
Yes, but he had no relatives at all.
At least I didn't find anyone.
Which ironically makes the whole thing even sadder.
What if someone had seen us?
What if someone saw what happened?
Dot.
Either I'm being blackmailed or it's my ex trying to ruin my life.
Oh my God.
Teddy?
Visiting hours are over.
Hi.
My friends who I missed a lot.
How sweet of you to call. How was Danica's party?
Is that where clown hell is?
Yes.
Teddy Wyatt was in the shower wearing his fiance's wedding dress.
What the hell?
Danica got a card today.
The Queen, Danica.
I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER
Is this funny or what?
No... I don't understand.
Danica thinks you sent it and she's mad at you.
This is true.
Yes.
No.
Damn.
Um... yeah, I... I don't want anything to do with this.
Please go away, please go away.
I have enough problems with my father, as it is.
Teddy, Teddy, we need to talk about this.
Someone is cleaning the house.
Danica got that damn grade.
It's Danica's problem, okay?
Fuck off. What the hell are you doing getting off my boat?
Can we just talk about it?
Go away!
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Teddy, seriously?
Damn.
Do you need help?
You scared me.
Are you okay?
Yes, I thought I heard something.
I know what this is about.
Wedding dress.
Baby.
I'm not Teddy, okay?
I don't want to be looking for you a month before the wedding.
I know.
Do you remember what Dr. Emma said?
Trust your actions and my words.
You are safe.
Here.
Welcome to the queen of meditation.
Let's get started.
Who is he?
What the hell, man?
And in this moment of absolute calm, you began to feel the branches within you.
My branches are always growing.
Exhale your fear now.
You can take whatever you want.
Take my crypto wallet.
Please.
Please stop.
Please.
Please stop.
Stop.
Love.
I feel much better.
Wedding atmosphere!
Wyatt?
You can't erase the past.
I was at home.
It was so bad I didn't hear it.
How did I not hear that?
It didn't make me a widow.
Yes, but you're like a hot widow.
It's so hard to say how difficult it was for me to get involved.
Oh my God, are you kidding?
Teddy, I don't think this is the right time.
Annika.
Annika, we are sorry for your loss.
I've made arrangements with Police Chief Roberts.
We have a patrol car outside.
Make sure they look after her.
Teddy
Thanks.
Ok.
What can we do?
Wait, what do you need?
Let me go home.
You know the meme is like, someone you love dies.
And you continue your skin care routine.
I know the answer is yes.
How are you feeling?
I know.
It feels like an eternity now.
Yes.
I'm so glad Stevie was there for you last year.
Because I know it wasn't me.
I am sorry.
I am sorry.
What?
For that?
Because I did something so terrible that it forced you to lie, Ava.
Like I understood why you didn't want to talk to me.
No, I couldn't talk to you, because I couldn't talk to anyone.
What I did was so bad.
I felt so dark.
I felt like the guilt would swallow me up.
And I thought you were fine.
I'm not well.
I better pretend to be me.
I have never had such a horrible night as this.
No, I'm stressed.
Don't be shocked.
I have my shit.
Nobody notices it.
Yes, I know that well.
Do you think it's some kind of karma for what I did?
I don't know.
It can.
I'm sorry this happened to you.
And I missed you a lot.
I missed you too.
Can we be quiet?
Everything will be fine.
Are you sure?
No.
But no matter what, I'll be here.
Do you promise?
Yes, I promise.
Okay, I'm asking the question we're all thinking.
Is someone chasing us?
I know it sounds crazy, but what happened to White?
Agree.
It doesn't seem like a coincidence, but it doesn't make sense.
And yet White was not with us.
What if this is just a random psychopath?
Danny, there was a threatening message written in blood.
I need to start drinking.
Okay, who else knows besides the five of us?
Teddy, your father?
Do you think my father would commit a violent crime in the UK?
And would he try to prove it? How perfect is Southport?
Grant told someone.
No chance.
Also, what you said to Chief Roberts, maybe he should go.
Wonderful.
What about your girl? Were you there that night, Stevie?
No chance.
I didn't tell her.
What about your new girlfriend, David?
The girl on the plane, Tyler.
Which girl?
Have you met any girls?
Yes, he has a crime podcast.
It's called "I Live, I Laugh, I Sacrifice."
Oh, wait, I found it.
It's so hot.
Very hot.
Has he ever rapped?
I don't know.
Wait, listen.
What do you say, Banda Slater?
Next week, I have a story that will grab you.
In 1997, a cold-blooded killer terrorized a group of teenagers,
who believed they could get away with murder.
He cut them one by one with his horrible hook.
And it all started with an anonymous message.
I have an anonymous message!
Yes, that's why we're here.
Okay, let's examine your theory, Milo.
Tyler, a random girl I met on a flight,
He came all the way to Southport because he knows exactly what I did over the summer.
So that she can kill us all for her podcast.
It doesn't make sense.
I don't think we should ignore it.
Listen, with Ava, I don't think she's the podcast girl, but...
I know.
There are many similarities with 1997.
Even if we wanted to look for her, I couldn't.
Dad had erased all traces of him from the internet.
But that waned his interest.
I think it's time to start and
to dive into our local history.
This place is fucked.
This place is as strange as it is crazy.
When I first came, I was speechless by the genius.
It's like a murder that never happened.
This place is so beautiful.
which makes me want to die, but I realized it was on purpose.
After the fall in real estate prices following the '97 murders,
Grant, a skilled builder, saw the opportunity
to transform this town from a haunted fishing village to the Hamptons of the South.
But it wasn't for everyone.
because of ghettoization.
Tyler.
Hi.
Thank you for coming.
Yes, I was very happy that you sent me a message.
I came here alone.
So, show me a new neighborhood in Southport.
Our journey begins with...
The house on the bay?
No, it's not about Bayside House.
It's about what existed before.
Let's go.
Really opened up the city
in crime and I built a house of soul, right?
I don't understand.
What does 97 have to do with Bayside?
This was the site of one of the most horrific fishing crimes.
Souvenirs.
Did you do it?
I sell them on Etsy.
Oh my God, wasn't that hot?
As if he died.
Okay, imagine this.
Almost 30 years ago, Julie James,
from Southport, on the way back from university,
received an anonymous note.
And suddenly the dead start to pile up.
Do you know what the note said?
I know what you did last summer.
Listen, how bad is the handwriting?
If I were a criminal, my handwriting would nail me.
Are you Julie James?
No, actually.
She is one of the two who survived.
He now teaches at Hoffman.
I tried to interview her about it.
I sent an email about limits or something.
Will you wait here for a while?
Yes, I want to see if I can find anything interesting up there.
Send a message so you don't get killed.
Can someone pick me up? I'm at Bayside House.
Tyler is gone.
Send.
Tyler?
Nice outfit, but I don't like this.
Seriously, it's not funny.
Ava?
Who is this?
Tyler, go away!
Ava, where the hell is she?
I don't know.
Tyler!
Go away!
Go away!
Do it!
What a shithole!
No!
Steve, get out of here!
Ava...
You don't need to do this.
Please, we swear.
I am a fan.
Wow, I'm a fan.
I am a fan.
I am a fan.
Ava!
Ava.
The door is locked!
Ava!
Are you okay?
Yes.
Did something happen to you?
No, I'm fine.
You need to take care of this mess.
Yes, of course.
I will take care of it.
Chief Roberts, do you have any idea who's doing this?
Leader.
Yes;
The girls' licenses are at risk.
I'll be right back.
Listen, I know we're going to have a lot of questions, okay?
We're having a citizens' meeting tomorrow at city hall.
to discuss these recent events, okay?
I have to leave.
I am sorry.
Chief...
The police are all in Pratt's hands.
They won't help us.
Then we'll find someone who will do it.
It will happen again!
This is what the nervous system says when you are repeatedly exposed to danger.
People with complex PTSD may not fully understand
their own behavior, why they make these decisions.
Until you process your trauma.
He will take care of you. Because the wounds...
...they change the brain in mysterious and complex ways.
Julie!
Julie!
Julie!
Julie!
My name is Ava Brooks.
I'm from Southport.
And I was attacked by a fisherman.
Very funny.
I'm not kidding.
It had a hook.
And I fought, but my friend died.
He's the second victim in two days, and another friend...
He was getting good grades before all this started.
Just like you.
And what do you think? What should I do about it?
I just need your help.
You experienced it once, and my friends and I were very scared.
Someone is chasing us.
I just have one question.
What did you do last summer?
I'm very sorry.
I was just looking at my things.
I only had lemon ginger.
I hope it's okay.
Yes, it's perfect.
Did most people die?
Yes.
But it's not for my friends.
It's for you.
If history is any indication, the killer is related to the boy who died.
What do you know about him?
I didn't find much.
Are you serious?
Why don't you search his entire life on the internet?
Not him.
I found an old address for an apartment in Southport,
but nothing before that.
And the police downplay it because they don't want to
to scare the tourists who are in the city.
I'm glad that A.T. Southport remains a champion in gaslighting.
Do you want to go there again together?
It is only 45 minutes away and today has a city council.
We can go there and push...
I had made a vow a long time ago.
that I will never return to Southport.
They didn't listen to me then, and I'm sure they wouldn't listen to me now either.
Whoever does this, it's personal to them.
You can't run, you can't hide.
The only way to save yourself is to find who's doing it, before they find you.
I left the scene with the police for the rest of the weekend.
How do I explain to my children what happened yesterday?
I understood those who saw what happened, but
This was about a troubled young woman who just wanted to hurt herself.
This is nonsense!
If you could calm down, please.
Ava, we are so sorry for what you went through yesterday.
I can't imagine how painful that would be.
to be there, but your friend was deeply disturbed.
I learned that she recently stopped her psychiatric treatment.
This is extremely convenient.
Shall I suggest an alternative, Grant?
The night before last, a man was murdered at his fiance's house.
And yesterday, just before Tyler was killed, someone was watching me.
near the house at the sea, wearing a raincoat and a hook.
Ok;
And last July 4th...
If you're referring to the young man who was killed, he was
drug user, was driving a stolen vehicle.
Tragic, but completely unrelated to the rest.
Really, now you're sitting there and pretending nothing happened,
as if it's never happened before in Southport?
You need to listen to her.
This is not the first time there has been violence.
like the one in Southport, and you know it well.
Hi, Ray.
Is this your boss?
I assume you mean what happened in 1997?
Exactly.
Southport is a very different place now than it was then.
And I'm sorry, but I don't see a connection between burglary,
to suicide and to something that happened 30 years ago.
Mercy...
She said someone was following her with a hook.
Do something about it.
It won't stop.
Listen to me, I want to assure you all.
We will have the support of our friends
from the Southport Police Department, for your safety.
And one last thing.
The doors of Jude the Shepherd will always be open at Trinity Church Southport,
if anyone needs a sympathetic ear after this tragedy.
Pastor.
You are all welcome.
I organized a prayer meeting for tonight at 8:00.
Thank you, pastor.
See you at the festival.
Why didn't you ever tell me what happened to you?
It's something I don't want to talk about.
What's up, Stevie?
What was all this at city hall?
You said I could talk to you about everything.
We don't need to tell you anything.
Who are "we"?
We need to find out who knew Sam Cooper.
Everyone has someone, and Julie said that's the key.
Wait, did you go see Julie?
Isn't Julie your ex-wife?
Sorry, do you mean you were married to Julie James?
Unfortunately.
Guys, I know what we have to do.
We need to get Fleur on the case.
Who is Fleur?
Don't ask.
Claire Kung is getting attention.
If someone is chasing us, why don't we run away?
We're taking the keys to my boat and going to the Bahamas for a while.
Simple.
For reasons I don't want to explain, I don't.
What about the car?
Grant said it was stolen.
Did you know?
No.
No, I didn't know that.
What if we need a police report?
Would there even be an official report if Grant covered his tracks?
When they pulled the truck out of the sea, they took it somewhere.
You need to find out who the car belonged to.
Be careful.
You too.
I love you.
Pick us up later.
Hi.
Can I help you?
We hope you can help us get some...
We hope you can help us with a record of a car that arrived here.
We have his license plate number.
Um...
We...
I need a license plate number.
Well, basically, that's part of the problem.
Um...
You see, my brother was involved in a terrible car accident.
And I made the mistake of not writing down the license plate number.
Not even the license plate number.
If you can help us... I know I'm asking a lot.
It does not matter.
It does not matter.
You will help us, won't you?
Please, sir.
Do you have anything?
Brand and model?
Yes.
It was a Dodge pickup.
Late 90s.
It must have come around the end of July.
Dodge Ram, arrived July 5th last year.
Yes, yes.
Exactly that.
Now it is completely broken.
It's registered to the name Judah Gillespie.
Is he your brother?
Yes.
Yes, that's him.
What are you doing here?
This cemetery is the only place where I found a Sam Cooper connection to '87.
So there must be something here.
Tombstones everywhere.
Buried with big, big penises.
Wait, wait.
Look.
He writes 1997.
It must be one of them.
And Mike Snurik.
Alan Shears.
Oh my God!
She was a true queen, just like me.
Oh my god, the ultimate diva.
So creepy.
Are we done?
I confirmed that those buried here are still dead and I don't want to follow them.
You have terrible behavior.
Sorry, Alan.
Come on, let's go.
We are leaving.
It will be dark.
Oh my God.
Teddy, these are fresh flowers.
Someone left them recently.
If he had no one, then who brought them?
Hey, buddy!
Did you happen to see who came and left these here?
No.
People come and go all day long.
What about the rooms?
Naturally.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Let's go.
He's not going to come back.
Maybe it was for the photo.
Isn't it worth knowing who left the flowers?
Okay, I'll look into it.
But I bet it was him.
Ok.
Condolences for your loss.
Do you have any more beer?
They are all good.
Sorry.
Yes!
I was running like a slut!
What a warm welcome.
I thought you came to kill me.
Even worse.
Believe it or not, I was worried about you.
Can I come in?
I know we're not exactly friends.
But after all that, it seemed wrong not to see you.
Don't let me see how you are.
Who does it really concern, Ray?
Because I don't believe a word of "I was worried about you, I'm a good guy."
Oh, indeed.
So what were you thinking? Is that what you told Ava?
Natos!
You told her to follow the killer.
And then?
To kill him?
Have you lost your fucking mind?
She asked for help and I told her what I thought she should do.
Oh, okay.
So give her advice from the comfort of your home,
and send him back to Southport to die alone.
Unlike you, I haven't repressed what happened to us.
I carry it every day, too. Just like you.
But putting all the blame on them is not fair.
A friend of hers who is involved works at my bar.
He is a good boy.
He obviously did something wrong.
You know that better than anyone.
Sometimes you just hang out with the wrong people.
Yes, I know that.
Ava?
What happened, Stevie?
Did the police find anything that would help with the identification?
The police found nothing.
We need to talk to Judah.
What if Sam stole his car... and what if he didn't? What if Sam didn't steal it after all?
Do you think Sam and Judah are connected?
So you think Judah left the flowers?
Oh my God, enough of the Scooby Doo nonsense for two fucking minutes.
Danica almost died tonight.
We can...
Are you sure you don't want to do something else now?
Ok.
You're funny, Danica.
Shit.
I have to go back to the bar.
Be careful, Stevie.
Should I tell Judas to do a good deed for you?
Nobody sleeps alone.
Are you okay with that?
Yes, yes.
Sounds like a good idea.
I love you.
We'll see about that.
I love you.
Good night.
Do you want a hug?
Nobody sleeps alone.
The hat was thrown away.
That was it.
I was hurt.
But no. We have to think about it.
Sorry.
I saw Teddy's mom kissing the tennis teacher here once.
Oh yes?
Well done, Jill.
Yes.
Bear with me.
Punish me.
I deserve punishment.
What?
Don't do anything.
We don't need to do this.
Sorry.
I think I need some time.
What are you doing?
She wants you to strangle her.
So strangle her.
Where is my charger?
Ava?
Milo.
Milo.
Sorry.
I just don't know how to handle all of this, okay?
Please, take me back?
Have you heard anything from Milo?
It's me.
Yes;
Can I help you?
Sorry.
We are looking for the shepherd Jude.
Hi, I remember you.
You are friends with Stevie.
I am very sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
That's why we came.
We struggled a lot with our pain.
Of course you did.
Shepherd Judah is not here now.
Maybe I can help.
Yes.
Can I use the toilet?
Naturally.
He is in the hallway.
Ava?
Pastor.
Hello.
I was hoping we could talk.
This was all so dark.
Naturally.
It's a horrible time.
There was so much loss.
Why don't you give her that book about pain that you should have read?
We lost a member of our community last year.
He died in a car accident.
Thank you, Hannah.
When did this happen?
I don't remember exactly.
I understand why you are suffering.
It is difficult to accept that death comes for all of us.
Give me a minute to bring the book right away.
It does not matter.
I would prefer to talk.
Just take some time.
Insist.
Let this book remind you that death is part of the divine order.
Thanks.
This is Judah.
He's hiding something.
You need to go talk to him.
These are serious accusations.
I'm glad you came to me.
Half a minute.
Let me talk to one of my officers.
Thanks.
Hold on tight.
I think it will help us.
You have called Milo Griffin.
Leave a message.
Ava, she told me what happened.
Don't let feelings defeat you.
I'm going to the gym to be ready for her mother.
Take me back.
Mr. Spencer, this is Ms. Brooks and Ms. Richards.
They're in hysterics, so I thought I'd keep them here.
Good thought.
Let them stay with Southport's hospital tonight.
Should I send a message that my friend died?
My cell phone is in that corner.
What are you doing?
Seriously now?
Can you hear me?
Don't let her stay here!
Danika, I'm starting to panic a little.
Where are you?
Are you okay?
Did everything go well with...?
Take me back, okay?
You called Teddy.
Leave a message.
Shit...
I won't answer.
Hi.
Hi.
I promised my father that I would take care of you.
And I intend to keep that promise.
Nothing will happen to you.
Can you hear me?
I hear you.
You need to get out of this, Stevie.
More than anyone, you deserve it.
Let's go now.
What's going on?
Threatening!
No!
Aid!
Threatening!
Yale!
Oh my God...
Ren!
Ren!
Oh my God...
Oh my God...
Aid!
Help us!
Someone, help!
Ren!
Are you okay?
Ren!
Ava?
No.
It's not my fault.
It's not my fault.
It's not my fault.
Of course it's your fault.
You are the girl in the photo.
I have a name too, you know.
Ellen Shavers.
And don't forget it.
I was going south to get a salad at Croaker Queen and...
I shouldn't say my age.
Be careful, baby.
I have a hook.
You are beautiful.
Thanks.
Poor fool.
He didn't deserve this.
I didn't intend for any of this to happen.
You killed Sam Cooper.
Now your fianc is dead too.
No.
This is not true.
Maybe it's not me.
But this corpse is.
He died completely alone.
While you were taking a bath.
No, I... I heard it, but I didn't know what it was.
You're going to die, Danica.
Please!
I just want to wake up!
Stay in the dream as long as you can.
Nothing good awaits you on the other side.
I didn't want to die either.
I find you a bad character.
But when you're faced with evil... you have to stop it.
Are you okay?
I had a bad dream.
Something is happening.
You can leave.
Follow them if you want.
The crowd is asked to disperse.
Go away!
I know it's hard, but you have to leave, or you'll be trapped here.
Send a message to Milo.
Tell him to wait for us at the port.
Let's start.
This is his car.
Thank God, we have to leave!
Milo?
No!
No!
Oh, no!
Ava, I'm sorry!
Sorry!
Hands up!
Judas, raise your hands!
Let me see them!
How are you?
Brad.
Are you okay?
Did the hook fall straight?
Leader.
Look at this.
It's Sam Cooper.
Is that him?
Yes.
What the hell do you want?
When did he die?
I thought it was known by now.
Shut it down!
Don't do anything stupid.
You're a crazy, psychopathic bitch!
Don't call Ava crazy.
It's so derogatory.
A strong woman, taking control...
and then they call her crazy just because she's dating.
Do you want to interrupt me or let me finish?
When my family broke up and my father abandoned me...
Things got dark for me.
Then I went to detox and felt like I was reborn.
I was finally ready to leave everything behind.
And my friends threw me in the trash.
Sam was afraid I would relapse.
That's why he took the car and came with Judah to pick me up.
I didn't know what he was like until the body washed up.
Judah took Grant's money to keep it a secret.
We got rid of him before we reached the port, to close out pending matters.
Why are you telling us this now?
Why don't you kill us like the others?
She took away the one I loved the most.
And I wanted you to know that I did the same to you.
We should have stayed.
We could have helped him.
You left that night too, Stevie.
Do you remember?
I was going to the department!
And what is your plan?
Are you going to kill us?
Are you going to steal Teddy's boat?
Will this please you?
Yes. Quite a lot.
You know, after I realized it was him...
I seriously thought about committing suicide.
But then I thought, why should I die, when he stole everything from me?
Damn it!
This thing is fucking perfect.
No!
No!
Damn it, bitch!
What do you say?
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
I'm fine.
He has a tear in his back.
Get away from my best friend, bitch!
Go to hell, you fucking bitch!
Shut it down!
Leave her alone, Stevie!
What are you doing there, huh?
The police were looking for you.
I didn't tell them anything.
Stevie, leave her alone!
All...
they are dead!
We still have time, Stevie. We'll figure it out.
Don't do that.
No!
Equally, yes.
Why didn't you come to me?
I...
It shouldn't have ended like this.
And yet, that's how it happened.
They took everything. From me.
It's probably...
It's over.
It's over.
It's over.
I am safe.
I'm going back to the boat with Ray.
Joey, it was Stevie from the beginning.
I don't understand how she managed it on her own.
You must have been in a lot of pain to do that.
Joey said that trauma changes people.
But I didn't know it was changing so much.
Don't reduce the power.
of the bond that someone may have with their abuser.
How did you overcome it? When did it happen to you?
There's no getting around that.
It just changes you.
You learn to adapt.
Do you want a clean shirt?
Okay, thank you.
Put it on.
I say leave slowly.
Thank you for everything.
Should I take you home?
No, okay.
A little walk will do me good.
Just one problem.
You know how I was, right?
Stevie said we should have let you live.
You're the only one who did what was needed that night.
You killed your partner.
Is that what you're saying?
Don't kill me, please.
I don't think I have a choice.
Ava?
Julie?
Oh my God...
Do you know something?
Everything will be fine.
Find the police on the street.
You won't die today.
Can you hear me?
Okay, okay.
Happy 4th of July, Julie.
I thought you weren't coming back to Southport.
How did you understand that?
It seemed like Stevie asked you for help, didn't it?
Everyone had stepped on her in her life.
Her friends.
He wanted revenge and I knew how to help him.
Nothing wakes people up like a crime scene.
So you took advantage of what happened to us?
They tried to erase every trace of this place.
They tried to erase us.
They walk around here as if nothing ever happened.
I had to make them remember.
And so there we are.
It's 1997 again.
Isn't it nostalgic?
Nostalgia is overrated.
Who cares if they tried to delete us, Ray?
You have to leave it behind.
You know what? I think I'll say you killed them all.
At first I thought about getting rid of you, then I changed my mind.
I understood that you are the ideal, the thankless, the right choice.
The difficult Julie James, who couldn't escape her past...
...and now she's in control.
So what are you waiting for?
It's going to hurt, honey.
What are you waiting for?
Fuck the 4th of July.
I completely agree.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Are you okay?
Hospital, hospital, okay.
I'm Isabella Tsarmatis too, do you know that?
You know, you look a little like a real mermaid.
Correctly;
This is me.
That's you.
You really are.
Did you go to the car?
Yes, I have one.
Okay, okay.
You are stronger than you think. I am always here for you.
Keep moving forward. Love, Julie
Should I say something?
Starve.
Oh my God.
Me too.
When was the last time we ate something?
I don't know.
How are you feeling?
Better.
You;
Better.
Even though it was crap.
I think part of my stomach is in the sea.
Yes, this whole experience gets a zero out of ten.
Without a single star.
At all.
At all.
And think that maybe all of this could have been avoided...
...if men just went to a psychologist, right?
I love you.
I love you so much.
You were right, Salome.
You are my other half.
Yes, I think it's time to say that the Divas are back.
Oh my God, I forgot to tell you.
What?
Stevie lives.
What the hell?
Should we kill her?
It sounds extreme, but yes, probably.
Yes.
