Secret Lives Of Housewives (2022) Movie Script
1
So when was the last time
you did something crazy?
Crazy?
What do you mean?
Ah, okay.
Wild.
Wild?
Okay.
Okay, let's say "unexpected."
When was the last time
you made a decision
that surprised even yourself?
Okay um...
I feel a little on
the spot right now.
No, no, no, no, no.
I'm not trying to do that
at all. I'm just curious.
That's all.
- What about you?
- What about me?
Can you answer that question?
Moving here, to Atlanta.
Surprise answer, right?
Interesting.
I started a business,
I built my house.
I took a risk.
What?
Well, now I feel
like the boring one.
Kendra, you are not boring.
I think you're amazing, in fact.
So, you wanna get another drink?
Or maybe we get outta
here. Go back to my place?
Come on inside.
Come on.
It's beautiful.
Ah, thanks.
I like it.
You know, I built so many
homes for other people,
eventually just built my own.
Well, it's perfect.
Hey, um...
How about a fire?
That sounds nice.
Okay.
I'm gonna go get changed
outta these clothes
and get a few logs
from out back.
- Okay?
- Okay.
Just make yourself at home.
There's a bottle of wine here.
It's from a, a little
vineyard in Italy.
You know, I go
about once a year.
And if it's not too forward,
I'd like to take you
with me next time.
How's that sound?
Hey, you okay?
I need to go home.
You sure?
Yeah, I'm, I'm sorry.
No, don't be.
No need to explain.
Yeah?
Stay for a little bit?
It's cold out. I mean...
I'll, I'll call a car.
- Well?
- Yeah.
There it is.
I had a great time.
I did too.
We'll talk later.
Oh man!
Hey kid.
Oh, god mom.
Don't do that.
Sorry.
What are you up to?
I think some birds
started building a
nest in my birdhouse.
I'm trying to fix
this so I can watch.
You never cease to amaze me.
You left your skateboard
in the driveway.
Oh, right. Sorry.
Yeah. Don't let
it happen again.
Why are you dressed like that?
Like what?
Like that.
Just went out with Samantha.
Where's your Dad?
I don't know.
He said he had to go out.
Out where?
I don't know.
Hey.
Where have you been?
Had to take care of some
things at the office.
This late?
Yeah. This late.
How was your night
out with Samantha?
It was fine.
What'd you girls do?
Nothing. Just went
out for drinks.
You okay?
Yeah.
Just tired.
Morning.
Oh, remember I have
clients in town.
So I'll probably
have a late night.
Langston's sleeping
over at Will's,
so Samantha's stopping by.
At least I won't be alone.
I thought you saw
Samantha last night.
Uh yeah, but it's our
show tonight, so...
Can't watch it without her.
Right.
Let's go, Langston!
Coming.
He's putting a camera
in the birdhouse
so we can watch the
birds build a nest.
Camera in the birdhouse?
I think it's cute.
Oh, morning kid.
You hungry?
No.
Well, at least take a
banana for the road.
I said I'm not hungry.
Okay.
Take the banana.
You'll want it later.
Have a good day.
Or not.
May I take your order?
Any specials today?
Yes, we have seafood linguini.
You know what?
I, I, I'll just stick
with my regular.
Stuffed avocado.
- Okay.
- Uh, thanks.
Hey.
Hey, what, what
are you doing here?
I was... kinda hoping to run
into you here, actually.
I did go on about
this place, didn't I?
Yeah, you did kinda.
Hey, do you have a minute
to talk, maybe inside?
Yeah. Uh, sure.
- Hi.
- Hey, what's up?
I wanted to apologize to you,
for last night.
Apologize? Why?
I felt like I was pressuring you
to do something you
didn't wanna do.
No, no.
You did not pressure me at all.
No? Okay.
Good, good.
Because I still want
us to be friends.
Yes. Friends.
Yeah.
I know you and Peter are
going through a rough patch.
Yeah.
I hope you make it through it.
Yeah?
If you ever need me,
you have my number.
Alright?
Anything.
I really appreciate that.
Yeah, of course.
I'll see you around.
Okay. See ya.
Yeah.
Wow.
Look at you, so handsome.
This a new shirt?
Yeah.
And cologne too.
You sure you're seeing clients,
and not going out
on some hot date?
Do you really think I would
do something like that to you?
Come on. I'm teasing.
I'm sorry.
I'm just really nervous that
the guys are gonna tell me
that they are thinking of hiring
a new law firm to rep them.
Why would, why
would they do that?
I don't know.
Just a feeling.
They're lucky to have
you, just like I am.
Don't forget that.
- Okay?
- Okay.
I'm gonna go take
Langston to Will's,
but have fun and text me,
let me know how it's going.
Okay.
I love you.
I love you too.
So, how was school today?
You already asked me that.
And you didn't answer me.
It sucked.
How come?
'Cause it always sucks.
Well, I'm trying to figure out
exactly why it sucked today.
Oh crazy
Mom!
I'm serious.
I wanna know.
Do we have to do this right now?
Yes.
The classes are boring,
the teachers don't know
what they're talking about
and the students are broken up
into these stupid little clicks
just like those stupid
'80s movies you love.
I tolerate a lot
of teenage angst,
but I will not have
you bad mouthing
my taste in classic cinema.
Is that a smile?
Oh, Mama's still got it.
God, Mom stop.
You're so embarrassing.
Damn right.
- Hey guys.
- Hey Heather.
Good to see ya.
Come on in.
- How's it going?
- Good, good.
'Sup bro?
Aw.
I remember when he used to
cry when I'd drop him off
'cause he'd missed me too much.
Oh my god. Don't
get me started.
They are growing
up way too fast.
I'll pick him up tomorrow.
Late morning okay?
Yeah,
sure. We'll be here.
You know your contractor
was over here this morning.
- Oh, uh, Erik?
- Yeah.
Thanks for the recommendation.
He had some great ideas about
how to fix up the house.
But my god, Kendra.
You didn't tell me he's so hot.
Yeah, he, he's a, he's
a good looking guy.
If I tell you something,
will you keep it a secret?
Sure.
He made a pass at me.
Really?
Yeah, we made out.
You and Erik?
On the couch for like half
an hour. Can you believe it?
Good for you.
Do you think I should text
him or just keep it cool?
- Text him.
- Really?
Yeah. Why not?
I gotta go.
Yeah. I'll, I'll
see you tomorrow.
Bye.
Okay. Wait, are you serious?
You met Erik for drinks?
Yeah.
Well we, we just talked.
It was nice.
Nice.
Okay. What are you
not telling me?
Okay.
He invited me back to his place.
His place?
I went inside and I
guess I came to my senses
because I just left.
You just... left?
Yeah.
- Nothing happened.
- Nothing.
Nothing happened.
Well that's good.
Cheating on TV always
looks like fun,
but in real life it
must be exhausting.
I, I couldn't do that to Peter
and I got confirmation today
that that was the
right decision.
What do you mean?
Well, Heather told me something.
Heather.
Oh, come on, Kendra.
You and Heather cannot have
a secret that I don't know.
You two are barely even friends.
Erik went over to her place
to try to get some work.
And she told me he made a pass
at her and they made out out.
I guess I'm not as special
as I thought I was.
Well, it's a good thing
you didn't sleep with him.
'Cause then I would
be the home wrecker
since I introduced you two.
Very true.
I'm gonna move on to
that other bottle.
Oh, no more for me.
Fine, suit yourself.
- I'll be right back.
- Okay.
What are you doing here?
What is your problem?
What time is it?
It's late.
How'd it go?
You didn't text me.
Well, I didn't get fired.
So, I'd call it a win.
Do I get to say, I told you so?
Come to bed.
Yeah.
- Hey Kendra.
- Hey.
Langston, your mom's here.
So, how did it go last night?
Lots of pizza and video games.
As expected, I
barely even saw them.
Hey, there he is.
Oh, Langston.
Thanks for having me.
You're very welcome, Langston.
It was good to see you.
We'll have Will over next time.
Have a great day.
You too. Oh, by the way.
Thanks for the
advice last night.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Can I get another dog?
Where did that come from?
I don't know.
We already talked about this.
I miss Charlie too,
but I'm not ready to
go through that again.
Tell me about last night.
What did you guys do?
Nothing.
Nothing?
So you literally just
did nothing all night?
We played video games.
Well that sounds fun.
God Mom, stop!
Stop what?
It was not fun.
Why?
'Cause me and Will aren't
even friends anymore.
What, what do you mean?
He makes fun of me at school.
He does? Why?
I don't know.
I'll ask his mom about it.
No, no.
Okay? Do not do that.
Okay.
Stay here.
Officer, what happened?
I'm not a liberty to discuss
that with you, ma'am.
Is that Erik Curry,
the man who lives here?
Honestly, ma'am I don't know.
Are you okay?
Let's go.
Hey buddy. How was your night?
It was okay.
Grab your football.
Let's go to the park.
Go long.
Oh, okay.
We just saw something.
What?
It looks like somebody
died at Erik Curry's house.
Our contractor?
Yeah, they were, they
were bringing a body out,
but they wouldn't
tell me who it was.
Oh my god.
You still have his number?
We should check in with him.
No. Yeah.
I, I tried, it went
straight to voicemail.
I'm getting really worried.
Okay.
Why don't you come with us?
No, I, I wanna stay back.
I just wanna try to
figure out what happened.
Well, maybe I should
stay here then.
No just, just go.
Get some exercise, alright?
I'll let you know
what I find out.
- You sure?
- Yes.
Okay.
Come on buddy. Let's go.
Can you pick me up out front?
I'm gonna go check
on the bird house.
It looks like they're
making a nest.
Good to be a kid sometimes.
Yep.
Let's go, Langston!
Heather. Hey.
Hey, I heard there's
something going on
over at Erik's house, but
I can't get ahold of him.
Do you know anything?
I don't know. They, they
were taking out a body.
A body!
Oh my god.
Did you end up texting
him last night?
Yeah.
- And he was okay?
- Yeah. I, I, I think so, but...
Oh, that's Samantha.
I need to take this.
Let me know if
you hear anything?
Yeah. I, I will.
- Hey.
- Hey.
It was him.
Erik is dead.
There's a lot I
need to tell you.
I'm coming over.
Okay.
They haven't officially
confirmed his identity yet,
but, it's Erik.
Shelli Merrill's
husband is a cop
and she heard it
straight from him.
But what happened?
I don't think they know yet.
I just, I don't understand.
He was so young and healthy.
Sometimes you just never know.
Maybe he had a, a sudden
heart attack or something.
I don't know. I'm,
I'm just guessing.
You know, we...
we got really close while
he was working on the house.
I don't know.
I guess I didn't really wanna
admit it to myself, but...
We had a connection.
At least I thought so.
I know that Erik and I
never actually did anything,
but it just feels
like it's the secret
that I can't talk to
anybody about, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah. Totally.
That must be really
weird for you.
I just, I was just so sad.
You know?
I can't believe he's gone.
I'm sorry to leave
you like this,
but I really have
to get back to work.
- Yeah.
- I'm gonna go freshen up
and head out, okay?
Are you okay?
Yeah. Yeah.
I'll be fine.
Hey, we're back.
Uh, hey.
What's going on?
Samantha just gave me
some really bad news.
Oh no. What?
It was, it was Erik.
He's dead.
My god. What happened?
I don't know.
Geeze.
He must have been
younger than me.
That's crazy.
I, I know you knew
him better than I did.
I'm, I'm sorry, sweetheart.
Yeah, I think I'm just I'm,
I'm, I'm kind of in shock.
Scary stuff, huh buddy?
Yeah. I'm gonna go to my room.
Maybe we could go out to lunch
or something to get
your mind off of it.
I think I just wanna stay home.
I don't think I
feel like going out.
Sure. Okay.
I'll make you some tea.
That'd be nice.
And in local
news, police are continuing
to investigate the
death of Erik Curry,
a contractor who was found dead
in his Atlanta home yesterday.
Initial reports suggest
he may have been deceased
for several hours whenneighbors
discovered the body.
Authorities await the
results of an autopsy.
But sources say it certainly
looks like foul play.
And while there are
currently no
suspects, it appear...
Good afternoon, Ms. Davis.
I'm Detective Collins,
Atlanta Metro.
This is my partner,
Detective Schilling.
Yes. Hi.
May we come in?
Of course, please.
So, yesterday, I saw you
outside of Erik Curry's home
and I'm assuming that you
know that he's deceased.
Yes, it's awful.
I, I've seen it
all over the news.
How well did you know him?
Fairly well, he,
he just did some,
some work on our house recently.
When was that?
He just finished up just,
just a few weeks ago.
Okay. Were you all friendly?
You could say that.
Yeah, he was nice.
Easy to talk to.
Did you ever see him socially?
I, I saw him around town
every once in a while.
Any other times?
Yes.
We met for drinks.
When?
Thursday night.
Just drinks?
Yes. Just drinks.
- Where?
- At the Rose Tavern.
Did you go anywhere after that?
No. I just came home.
Are you sure?
Of course. I'm sure.
We have a ride share driver
who says that he drove
you from Erik's place
to this address at
approximately 11:00 p.m.
on Thursday night.
11:02,
according to the app.
That's correct.
So why did you just tell
us that you went home?
Because I did.
I, I rode with Erik
back to his place
and then I got a ride share
from there to my home.
Why did you go to his house?
I don't know.
Just to hang out.
Were you and Erik intimate?
No.
But you were friends?
You could say that.
Did your husband ever
know anything about this?
Do I know anything about what?
Hello, Mr. Davis.
I'm Detective Collins.
Schilling.
Go up to your room, Langston.
Langston, go.
What's going on?
We were just asking your wife
some questions about Erik Curry.
Oh, I see.
I'm sorry.
How can we help?
Why don't we continue
this another time?
Give me a call and we
can arrange something.
Homicide.
Do you think he was murdered?
It seems that way.
Oh my god.
Well, I can see you out.
Of course. Thank you.
Why did you lie to me?
Please keep your voice down.
Langston doesn't
need to hear this.
How long has this been going on?
What do you mean?
Were you sleeping with him?
No.
I'm not sure I believe you.
Come on Peter, just calm down.
- Okay?
- No, no, no.
You were sneaking
around with him
and you lied to me about it.
What was I supposed to think?
Yeah, right.
Peter.
Peter.
Hey.
I'm sorry I lied to you.
It was really stupid of me.
I just want the truth, Kendra.
Okay.
The truth is...
Erik and I became friends while
he was working on the house.
He was funny and...
And, and, and what? Tell me.
Nice to me.
Interested in what I had to say.
It, it made me feel good.
Feel good?
Okay.
I don't know.
Ever since Langston's
been getting older,
I, I don't even know what to
do with myself half the time.
I feel kind of aimless.
And there's this
distance between us.
So this is my fault?
No, of course not.
I'm trying to be
honest with you.
And if I'm totally
honest, I was tempted.
Tempted.
But nothing happened.
I swear, Peter.
I wouldn't do that to you.
Come on, Peter.
What you got?
You scared me.
Do you know whose phone this is?
I found it in the laundry.
No, it's not mine.
I know it's not yours, kid.
Where's Dad.
I don't know.
Mom, What's going on?
I want to know.
It's complicated.
Whatever.
Okay.
Can I help you?
Oh, uh I was just looking.
Guy was killed.
You knew him?
Erik, right?
Yeah.
Were, were you two close?
I just knew him in passing.
I'm sorry. I don't
mean to bother anybody.
Guess our time's up.
You're the best, you know?
Of course.
Hey kiddo.
Turkey sandwich?
Thanks.
Was uh, Samantha just here?
Yeah. She stopped
by to see you.
You let her in?
Yeah, just for a little bit.
Then she left.
Okay.
Hey.
Where'd you go?
Just went for a drive.
Did you see anybody?
Nope.
I just needed to think.
Oh, I, I, I found a phone.
You found a phone?
I found a phone in the laundry,
must've fallen outta
somebody's pocket.
I put it right here.
Did you take it?
No.
Why would I take it?
Langston.
Langston, come down here.
Langston!
Alright.
What?
Did you take that phone
that I found in the laundry?
No.
Why would I take it?
That's exactly
what I said, dude.
Somebody took it.
It wasn't me.
Hey babe.
I saw Peter with Heather today.
He, he snuck out the house...
Alright, slow down.
Okay. I know.
- I'm sorry.
- I'll be outside.
Um, one minute.
Okay, now why would Peter
sneak off to see Heather Nolan?
That's what I was wondering.
You didn't just ask him?
No.
I mean, he just found out that
I was hanging out with Erik
without telling him.
- It just felt...
- Hypocritical?
To call him out for
doing the same thing?
- Exactly.
- Yeah.
Have you found out
anything new about Erik?
Yes.
So it was definitely murder.
Someone hit him over the
head with a blunt object.
Oh my god.
Who, who could do that?
That's the question.
Have the detectives
talked to you?
Why would they talk to me?
Well, you knew him pretty well.
Yeah, but I wasn't with him
the night before
he got murdered.
You mean like me?
I didn't mean it
like that, Kendra, come on.
I guess they think I'm involved.
They asked me to come down
for an interview tomorrow.
They're just gathering as
much information as they can.
Try not to worry so much.
Yeah, easier said than done.
By the way, I'm
sorry I missed you.
Missed me?
Yeah. I saw you driving
away from the house
as I was pulling up.
Oh, right.
Well I just, I just
wanted to talk.
Look, I, I really gotta go.
Okay, we can talk tomorrow.
Yeah, sure.
- Bye.
- Bye.
We believe Erik was
killed by a blow to the head
with one of his own wrenches.
That's awful.
He was very meticulous
with his tools,
but one of the
wrenches is missing
and all of his tools are
marked with his initials:
"B.C."
Have you ever seen a wrench
like that, Mrs. Davis?
No.
Why would I have?
Maybe he used it when he was
doing work on your house?
Oh, I don't. I don't know.
I, I don't remember.
We already know about
your date Thursday?
No, it... not a date.
Can you tell us where
you were on Friday night?
The night of the murder?
Um, I, I took my son Langston
over to his friend's house
for a sleepover.
What friend?
Will Nolan.
They've been friends
since they were little.
What time did you drop him off?
Uh, 6:30, 7:00?
It was still light out.
And then?
And, and then I went home.
Peter was out with some clients
and my friend Samantha
came over around eight.
What's Samantha's last name?
Rogers.
That's how I met Erik, actually.
And what did you
and Samantha do?
We just watched TV
and, and talked.
For how long?
She left around 10:00.
And then?
And then I went to bed.
What time did your
husband come home?
Uh, I don't know.
I, I don't know.
I, I was asleep.
So, you don't know for
sure if he came home.
He came home. I, I, I just,
I woke up, then I fell
right back asleep.
It was late. Definitely
after midnight.
Why are you asking about Peter?
Just gathering
information, ma'am.
Oh, sorry.
It's my son's school.
- Hello?
- Ms. Davis,
Langston's gotten
into another fight.
I see.
Can you come to
school and get him?
Yes, I'll be right there.
Thank you.
I'm afraid I'm gonna
have to pick him up.
No problem. You've
been very helpful.
That reminds me.
You wouldn't happen to know
where Erik's cell phone is,
would you?
His cell phone?
It's missing.
Just like the wrench.
Are you all right? Ms. Davis?
Yeah. I'm, I'm fine.
I just, I need to get to my son.
You didn't answer my question.
About?
Any idea where Erik's
cell phone might be?
Um no, no, I, I don't know.
I, I'm sorry. I really
do need to go now.
Come on, baby.
Hey, are you okay, Will?
Will get in the car.
No, he's not okay.
Langston attacked him.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sure there must
have been some reason.
What reason?
Are you trying to blame Will?
No, not, not at all.
I, I didn't even get
the full story yet.
Langston hurt him.
What else do you need to know?
Boys fight sometimes.
I'm sure Langston
didn't mean to hurt him.
Well, I'm glad that
you're so sure about that.
Well, Will can be a bit
of a bully, sometimes.
A bully?
Excuse me.
I'm sorry. That came out wrong.
Heather.
Heather.
What?
What were you and Peter
doing together yesterday?
What are you talking about?
I saw you two at the park.
He's your husband. Ask him.
It's not that big of a deal.
I hit Will.
Yeah, I know that.
And it is a big deal.
Why'd you do it?
He was making fun of me
with his new friends.
So I hit him.
Why was he making fun of you?
'Cause he's a jerk.
But I thought you
guys were friends.
No, we're not Mom.
I told you that.
Okay. You're right.
Maybe I need to be
a better listener,
and realize that you're
not a little kid anymore.
But no more hitting
anybody, okay?
Violence isn't the answer.
Is there uh, anything else
you wanna tell me about?
What do you mean?
Like about Dad?
What about him?
I don't know.
Is, is he acting a little
strange at all lately?
All of you've been
acting strange.
All of who?
Adults.
Parents.
You and Dad.
Will's mom.
Heather? What do you mean?
She snuck out that
night I slept over.
Snuck out?
Snuck out of her own house.
It was about 11:00.
I heard her talking on the
phone and it woke me up.
I walked out on the balcony
and I watched her leave.
I mean how's that for strange?
How did it go at
the police station?
I don't know.
It was uh, uncomfortable.
What'd they ask you?
All kinds of things.
By the way,
I had to pick up Langton
from school early today.
Why?
He got into a fight, with Will.
Will?
That's weird.
I always thought
they were so close.
Gave him a black eye.
I already talked
to him about it,
but I think you should too.
Definitely. I'll go
talk to him right now.
Heather was really
upset about it.
Have you heard from her?
No.
Why would Heather
reach out to me?
I'll get it.
- You expect anyone?
- No.
Alright.
Can I help you?
Hey buddy, your parents here?
Yeah. You wanna come in?
Is interrupting a family
dinner standard protocol now?
Sorry, sir.
I'm sure you understand time
is of the essence in our work.
This won't take long.
Langston, go to your room.
Kendra's been more
than accommodating.
She went down to
the station today,
as you requested, answered
all your questions.
What more do you
need to ask of her?
Actually, we have a few
questions for you, Mr. Davis.
Such as?
Maybe we should sit down.
Okay.
So what would you like to know?
Where were you Friday night?
I met with some clients
that were in town.
What kind of clients?
I'm a corporate lawyer.
What were your clients' names?
Dwayne Sanders
and Isaiah Carpenter.
They work for
Fulbright Industries
and I've done a lot of business
with them over the years.
Where did you go?
Joe's Back Nine Sports Bar.
What time did you leave?
After the last
call, around 10:00.
Did you go anywhere after that?
Kendra told us
you got home late.
She wasn't sure
of the exact time,
but said it was past midnight.
Look, Peter, full disclosure.
We have door cam security
footage from a private residence
that shows your SUV driving
on Fair Oaks Avenue at 10:22.
Just two blocks away
from Erik Curry's house.
Erik's neighborhood
wouldn't be on your way home
from the Back Nine.
In fact, it's on the
other side of the freeway
going in the opposite
direction from your house.
Oh.
I went to go see him.
You went to go see who?
Erik.
Tell us what happened.
Please tell us everything.
The whole story.
I found out that Kendra had
been sneaking around with him.
You did?
I followed you on
Thursday night.
Let's get back to Friday.
After a couple of
drinks at The Back Nine
I decided to go see Erik.
Why?
To tell him to stay
away from my wife.
So you went to his house
and then what happened?
I knocked on the front door.
He answered.
You know why I'm here.
- I guess.
- Stay away from my wife.
I had my say and left.
I didn't even enter his house.
- That's it?
- That's it.
I swear.
Look, I understand how
bad this must look,
but you know, I would
never hurt anyone.
Peter, Peter would never
do something like that.
These things tend
to spiral out of control.
Maybe you lost your temper
and, and there was an accident.
What? No, no, that's
not what happened.
If I had killed him,
I wouldn't be even
talking to you right now.
I'm not an idiot.
I would get a lawyer and I
sure as hell wouldn't admit
going to his house.
But you did admit it.
'Cause I'm trying
to help you guys
figure out what happened.
So you would say you were
at Erik's house, maybe what,
10 minutes or so?
Not even, less than that.
Okay.
That's still a couple of
hours unaccounted for.
Where did you go when you
left Erik Curry's house?
I just, I, I just drove around.
You just drove around?
Yeah.
Yeah. Listen, it's late.
And I think I've answered
enough of your
questions for tonight.
Okay.
Thank you for your time.
We'd like to
continue this tomorrow,
if you don't mind.
Fine. I'll be here.
Well, I hope you
have a good evening.
We'll see you at the station
in the morning, Mr. Davis.
And of course, you
have the right
to have an attorney
present if you wish.
By the way, you
haven't seen a wrench
with the initials "E.C." on it
laying around
anywhere, have you?
No.
What about a cell phone?
We're still looking for Erik's.
No.
See you tomorrow.
Where are you going?
Upstairs.
No, we need to talk about this.
About what?
Where did you go after Erik's?
Yeah, I could tell you weren't
telling the truth about that.
I need you to be honest with me.
Honesty? Right.
Did you take the phone that
I found in the laundry?
Did I take it?
I've never even seen it.
Why didn't you mention
it to the detectives?
You know why.
I...
I can't stand the way you're
looking at me right now.
That's it. I'm
getting out here.
Peter!
Peter.
Langston, I'll be right back.
It's gonna be all right.
I don't know what to do.
Cops are asking questions.
- It's too much.
- I know.
I tried to explain that
I was just driving around
and then they start accusing me.
Don't worry.
I've got your back. Okay?
Don't worry.
What are you looking for?
You really are scared of me.
How do, how do you
expect me to act? Hmm?
You're hiding something.
Why did you go to see Heather?
You followed me?
Yeah, I did.
Just like you did to me.
And that's not the first
time you've gone to see her
and lied to me about it.
Like you lied to me about Erik?
Look, I know I haven't been
completely honest either.
Whatever's happening, I just,
I just need to know, please.
You were right.
About what?
I wasn't completely upfront
with the detectives.
After I left Erik's house, I
didn't just go drive around.
I, I, I went to see Heather.
And what did you and Heather do?
Nothing, just talked in the car.
Okay.
So you could talk to her,
but you couldn't talk to me.
What's really going
on between you two?
Nothing.
Come on.
I saw you guys at the park.
I, I saw the way she
touched your shoulder.
I saw the way she hugged you.
Okay. Okay.
We have gotten
close. That is true.
But we've never done anything
physical, nothing like that.
She's just a friend.
When did it start?
It didn't really start.
We've known each
other for years.
I, I, I sometimes text her.
She texts me back and
I guess it just...
It just what?
It was a mistake. Alright?
I'm sorry.
I shoulda never let
it go on like that.
It will never happen again.
I still love you, Kendra.
And I just want things to go
back the way they used to be.
- Me too.
- Okay.
But I need you to
be honest with me.
Always.
I need you to tell me what
happened that night with Erik.
Absolutely nothing!
You think it was me.
I could never hurt
anyone, you know that.
Yes. Fine. I, I do.
But if it wasn't you, then...
You know, there's something
else I need to tell you.
After I left Erik's house,
I saw someone else arriving.
It was dark.
I was looking out the rear view
mirror, and I can't be sure,
but it...
Uh, but I thought
it was Samantha's car.
I don't really know
where to begin,
but I need to ask you
something really important.
Okay.
What is it?
Did you happen to
go by Erik's place
after you left my
house on Friday night?
Erik's? No.
Hmm, because Peter went
over there around 10:30,
to tell Erik to leave me alone.
And he thinks that he saw you
arrive when he was leaving.
Well, it must have
been someone else.
Are you sure?
Yeah. I'm sure.
If you know anything,
you need to tell me.
The police are interviewing
Peter tomorrow.
They think he had something
to do with Erik's death.
I mean, can you blame them?
I mean, you were basically
having an emotional affair
with Erik and that
gives Peter motive.
And if they know that he was
at the scene of the crime,
just before the murder, I mean,
what do you expect
them to think?
You don't really believe
all that, do you?
I need you to tell me the truth.
I am.
Well, I can tell
when you're lying.
Well, believe what
you wanna believe.
What about the phone?
- What phone?
- Erik's phone.
Okay.
I give up.
Kendra, what are
you talking about?
Okay, you were at my house
the day we found out
about Erik's death.
- Okay.
- Did you have Erik's phone?
Did, did you maybe plant
it in my laundry room?
Why would I do that?
To frame my husband.
Yeah.
You knew that he was at
Erik's house that night.
I told you I wasn't there.
And I saw you leaving
my place the other day.
Langston said you came inside.
Maybe you came back
to get the phone?
Oh, oh, oh, okay. Wait.
Let, so let me
get this straight.
You're accusing me of planting
a phone in your house.
Now you're accusing me
of stealing it back.
Maybe you had second thoughts.
Maybe there was something
incriminating on the phone,
like, like, like a text
between you and Erik maybe.
So that's why you came here?
To accuse me of stealing this
mysterious phone right now?
Did you have a fight with Erik?
Was there an accident? Hmm?
A fatal accident.
You have got to be kidding me.
You think I had something
to do with Erik's death?
- Wow.
- No.
You know what?
You need to leave.
- Samantha. I, I'm just...
- You need to leave now!
Hey.
Buckle up.
How was school?
It sucked.
Do you wanna tell me about it?
The teacher stepped out
and Will called me a douche
in front of the whole class.
Well, I hope you ignored him.
Well, it's hard to when
everybody's laughing.
Do you want me to
talk to your teacher?
No. No, she wouldn't listen.
I'll make her listen.
Just forget it.
I don't care anymore.
Hey.
How'd it go with
the police today?
The lawyer said not to worry,
but I don't know what to think.
You hungry?
No, I already ate,
but thank you.
I'm gonna try to
get some work done
because I'm behind
on everything.
Oh, and I told them that
I thought I saw Samantha.
They're probably
already talking to her.
I'm sorry.
No, you did the right thing.
No more secrets, right?
- Mm.
- Peter?
Yeah.
We're gonna get through this.
Yeah.
Hey.
Well, thanks for ratting
me out to the cops.
I thought we were friends.
What do you expect us to do?
Peter's a murder suspect.
All that matters right
now is the truth.
No, the only thing that's
gonna come out of this
is my husband finding out
that I went to see another man
late on a Friday night.
I'm dealing with the
same thing with Peter,
but maybe this will
be for the best.
Maybe we can all try to
be a little more honest
with each other.
Why were you at Erik's?
Why do you think?
You were sleeping with him.
I had no idea something was
going on between you two.
You never said anything
to me about it.
It's because you only
ever think of yourself.
Samantha...
Would you just listen
to me? For once.
The police came to see
me. I kept my mouth shut,
but I'm speaking with them
tomorrow with my lawyer.
And I wanted to give you a
heads up for old time's sake
because I'm telling them
the truth about everything.
Good.
That's exactly
what you should do.
And I told you I have
nothing else to hide.
But maybe your husband does.
What do you mean?
Did Peter tell you what
happened just before he saw me?
Peter attacked Erik.
He got out of the car
and walked up to the front door.
You know why I'm here.
Erik came out and they
got into an argument.
I couldn't hear what
they were saying.
And then suddenly
Peter swung at Erik,
just punched him,
right in the face.
Oh my god.
Maybe Peter is the
one keeping secrets.
The only reason I didn't
say something before
is because I didn't
want anyone to know
that I was with Erik that night.
I spoke to him later
and he told me Peter
threatened to kill him.
I didn't think your husband
was capable of murder,
but... maybe he is.
Maybe he's the one
who took Erik's phone
to cover both your tracks.
You and I may be done, but
I am a loyal enough friend
to tell you to watch your back.
Okay?
Peter?
What are you doing?
Why are you sneaking off
in the middle of the night?
I'll be back. Don't worry.
Where are you going?
Just trust me on this.
Trust you on what?
No more secrets. Remember?
- Okay.
- What's that?
- What do you have?
- Nothing! Ow!
Kendra.
Kendra.
- Oh!
- Hey!
Kendra!
Come here.
No, no, no, no.
Stop! Come here.
You're making a mistake!
Stay away from me.
Kendra.
- Langston, wake up!
- Stop it.
Where's your phone? We
need to call the police.
- No, please.
- Let me in, Kendra.
The police?
Where is your phone?
Stay back.
Fine. Okay.
I said stay back!
You don't understand.
I do understand.
How could you do that?
How could you kill him?
I didn't.
This is a murder weapon.
Yes, Kendra. I know that.
What?
What is going on?
Langston.
Langston.
I can't take it anymore.
Baby, baby.
- Stop!
- Okay.
It's okay.
It's alright, son.
- Hey. Hey.
- Langston.
- Hey, Langston!
- Langston!
Langston, stop!
- Stay back.
- Oh no, no, no.
Stop. Stop.
Stay back. Stop.
No, no Langton please, no.
Langston, put the knife down.
Put it down.
We can work through this.
No, we can't, it's too late.
No, no, it's not, son.
It, it's okay.
We'll, we'll give
you your space. Okay?
Just please, please
don't press down
on the knife like that,
baby, baby please.
We don't need to do
anything rash, right?
And we can just, we can
just talk this through.
Like we always do.
We'll figure this out.
No, we can't, not this time.
That's not true.
I'm not gonna let you do it.
Give me the knife.
I'm not gonna let
you hurt yourself.
There's no way. Okay?
I love you too much.
Okay? It's okay.
Baby, it's okay. It's okay.
Just drop the knife. Come on.
Come on.
Okay, okay.
Okay, okay, okay buddy.
It's alright. It's alright.
It was me.
I killed Erik.
Okay.
It's alright. Okay.
Okay, okay, okay.
It's alright, buddy.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
I knew you'd been talking
to Erik for a while.
How?
I put spyware on your phone.
Your phone, too.
Why did you do that?
At first it was just to
see if I could do it.
Like the cameras.
The cameras?
There's one up in that corner.
It's tiny. It's
really hard to see.
But they're all over the house.
I know it sounds weird,
but I'm good with
that kind of stuff.
And I thought it'd be
fun to spy on you guys.
But I ended up learning
all the secrets
you've been keeping
from each other.
And with the spyware I
could read your phone.
All of your texts.
It gave away everything.
Mom, you'd been
flirting with Erik.
Dad, you were doing the
same thing with Will's mom.
I, I, I know it sounds stupid,
but I just didn't want
you guys to get a divorce.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
That doesn't sound stupid.
I totally understand.
I'm sorry, son.
I'm really sorry.
I know you went to see
Erik on Thursday night.
So when Will's mom snuck out
to see Dad on Friday night,
I sent Erik a text telling
him to stay away from you.
I kept checking my phone.
I waited for him to
answer me and he didn't.
It made me really mad.
Will was asleep and
his mom was gone.
So, I just had this crazy idea.
I grabbed my coat, tried
to be as quiet as I could,
then I snuck out of the room
and decided to go
to Erik's house.
But why?
Why would you wanna do that?
He ignored my text.
So I wanted to go
confront him in person.
But I didn't realize
that Dad had done the
same exact thing earlier.
I heard you tell it
to the detectives.
I watched the whole thing
from the living room camera.
So what happened after
snuck out of Will's house?
Will's house isn't that
far away from Erik's.
I hid whenever I saw a car.
I wasn't planning on
doing anything bad.
I...
I just, I just wanted
to talk to him.
I just wanted to
make him answer me.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
Hey, you're Kendra's kid, right?
Um, Langston.
Yeah.
Did you get my text?
No.
What text?
Stay away from my mom.
What?
Stay away from my mom.
That's what I told him.
That's all I was gonna tell
him and then I was gonna leave.
But...
But, but what?
But he laughed at me.
Just like Will and his
friends laugh at me.
Stay away from my Mom!
Man, you're strong.
I'll give you that, but,
I still don't know why...
I, I didn't mean to kill him.
I, I, I swear.
I didn't, you guys,
you have to believe me.
We believe you.
You believe me?
Of course we do, Son.
Of course.
Am I gonna go to jail?
No, you are not going to jail.
We are going to get
through this, together
and nothing's going
to happen to you.
I promise.
He's finally asleep.
I saw that hidden in his
room a couple days ago.
A couple days ago.
Why didn't you tell me?
I've been trying to figure
out what the hell to do.
So you just wanna get rid of it?
Of course!
This could change
his life, Kendra.
Okay. What about Erik?
He killed a man.
Are we supposed to just
sweep that under the rug?
Why not?
He said he didn't mean to do it.
I believe him. Don't you?
Of course. But...
No, no, if anything Erik's
blood is on our hands
because of our secrets.
Think about that.
Our son was just trying to
keep his family together.
We've always known he
had behavioral issues.
Remember the playground fights?
Those were just
minor incidences.
That's what we told ourselves.
But now we have the time to
get him the help that he needs.
We get rid of the wrench
and we put it somewhere that
no one could ever find it.
Okay?
Just like I did with the phone.
You destroyed the phone.
Yes.
This, this is a really serious
decision we're making.
Do you understand that?
You think, I don't know that?
I'm willing to do whatever
it takes to protect Langston
from our mistakes, Kendra.
But if you're not, you
need to tell me right now.
Langston said he texted Erik.
Okay.
As soon as the police
check the phone records,
they're gonna know it was him.
No, they won't.
I used an app to send
the text anonymously.
They can't trace it.
And without Erik's phone,
they'll never even
know what I said.
Don't don't worry, Son.
Don't worry.
We've got this.
Everything is going to be okay.
Right?
- Right.
- Yeah.
We've got this.
You're gonna be all right.
Watch out. Okay?
- Come on, Langston.
- Let's go.
This way.
Watch your step.
Langston, let's go!
- Whoa!
- Whoa.
Are you guys gonna
be back for lunch?
- Sure.
- What do you think
about BLTs?
- Mmmm, BLTs.
- Your favorite.
How do BLTs sound?
Awesome.
Okay, good.
Have fun.
I love you.
I love you too.
Langston, I'm going long!
Going long!
Yeah, buddy!
Alright.
You still think they're
hiding something, don't you?
As a matter of fact, I do.
Well, we got nothing.
Unless somebody talks
or a certain missing wrench or
cell phone magically appears,
it feels to me like
we hit a dead end.
Sooner or later,
something will give.
Secrets this big
are hard to keep.
Seems like a nice family.
Isn't it always that way?
So when was the last time
you did something crazy?
Crazy?
What do you mean?
Ah, okay.
Wild.
Wild?
Okay.
Okay, let's say "unexpected."
When was the last time
you made a decision
that surprised even yourself?
Okay um...
I feel a little on
the spot right now.
No, no, no, no, no.
I'm not trying to do that
at all. I'm just curious.
That's all.
- What about you?
- What about me?
Can you answer that question?
Moving here, to Atlanta.
Surprise answer, right?
Interesting.
I started a business,
I built my house.
I took a risk.
What?
Well, now I feel
like the boring one.
Kendra, you are not boring.
I think you're amazing, in fact.
So, you wanna get another drink?
Or maybe we get outta
here. Go back to my place?
Come on inside.
Come on.
It's beautiful.
Ah, thanks.
I like it.
You know, I built so many
homes for other people,
eventually just built my own.
Well, it's perfect.
Hey, um...
How about a fire?
That sounds nice.
Okay.
I'm gonna go get changed
outta these clothes
and get a few logs
from out back.
- Okay?
- Okay.
Just make yourself at home.
There's a bottle of wine here.
It's from a, a little
vineyard in Italy.
You know, I go
about once a year.
And if it's not too forward,
I'd like to take you
with me next time.
How's that sound?
Hey, you okay?
I need to go home.
You sure?
Yeah, I'm, I'm sorry.
No, don't be.
No need to explain.
Yeah?
Stay for a little bit?
It's cold out. I mean...
I'll, I'll call a car.
- Well?
- Yeah.
There it is.
I had a great time.
I did too.
We'll talk later.
Oh man!
Hey kid.
Oh, god mom.
Don't do that.
Sorry.
What are you up to?
I think some birds
started building a
nest in my birdhouse.
I'm trying to fix
this so I can watch.
You never cease to amaze me.
You left your skateboard
in the driveway.
Oh, right. Sorry.
Yeah. Don't let
it happen again.
Why are you dressed like that?
Like what?
Like that.
Just went out with Samantha.
Where's your Dad?
I don't know.
He said he had to go out.
Out where?
I don't know.
Hey.
Where have you been?
Had to take care of some
things at the office.
This late?
Yeah. This late.
How was your night
out with Samantha?
It was fine.
What'd you girls do?
Nothing. Just went
out for drinks.
You okay?
Yeah.
Just tired.
Morning.
Oh, remember I have
clients in town.
So I'll probably
have a late night.
Langston's sleeping
over at Will's,
so Samantha's stopping by.
At least I won't be alone.
I thought you saw
Samantha last night.
Uh yeah, but it's our
show tonight, so...
Can't watch it without her.
Right.
Let's go, Langston!
Coming.
He's putting a camera
in the birdhouse
so we can watch the
birds build a nest.
Camera in the birdhouse?
I think it's cute.
Oh, morning kid.
You hungry?
No.
Well, at least take a
banana for the road.
I said I'm not hungry.
Okay.
Take the banana.
You'll want it later.
Have a good day.
Or not.
May I take your order?
Any specials today?
Yes, we have seafood linguini.
You know what?
I, I, I'll just stick
with my regular.
Stuffed avocado.
- Okay.
- Uh, thanks.
Hey.
Hey, what, what
are you doing here?
I was... kinda hoping to run
into you here, actually.
I did go on about
this place, didn't I?
Yeah, you did kinda.
Hey, do you have a minute
to talk, maybe inside?
Yeah. Uh, sure.
- Hi.
- Hey, what's up?
I wanted to apologize to you,
for last night.
Apologize? Why?
I felt like I was pressuring you
to do something you
didn't wanna do.
No, no.
You did not pressure me at all.
No? Okay.
Good, good.
Because I still want
us to be friends.
Yes. Friends.
Yeah.
I know you and Peter are
going through a rough patch.
Yeah.
I hope you make it through it.
Yeah?
If you ever need me,
you have my number.
Alright?
Anything.
I really appreciate that.
Yeah, of course.
I'll see you around.
Okay. See ya.
Yeah.
Wow.
Look at you, so handsome.
This a new shirt?
Yeah.
And cologne too.
You sure you're seeing clients,
and not going out
on some hot date?
Do you really think I would
do something like that to you?
Come on. I'm teasing.
I'm sorry.
I'm just really nervous that
the guys are gonna tell me
that they are thinking of hiring
a new law firm to rep them.
Why would, why
would they do that?
I don't know.
Just a feeling.
They're lucky to have
you, just like I am.
Don't forget that.
- Okay?
- Okay.
I'm gonna go take
Langston to Will's,
but have fun and text me,
let me know how it's going.
Okay.
I love you.
I love you too.
So, how was school today?
You already asked me that.
And you didn't answer me.
It sucked.
How come?
'Cause it always sucks.
Well, I'm trying to figure out
exactly why it sucked today.
Oh crazy
Mom!
I'm serious.
I wanna know.
Do we have to do this right now?
Yes.
The classes are boring,
the teachers don't know
what they're talking about
and the students are broken up
into these stupid little clicks
just like those stupid
'80s movies you love.
I tolerate a lot
of teenage angst,
but I will not have
you bad mouthing
my taste in classic cinema.
Is that a smile?
Oh, Mama's still got it.
God, Mom stop.
You're so embarrassing.
Damn right.
- Hey guys.
- Hey Heather.
Good to see ya.
Come on in.
- How's it going?
- Good, good.
'Sup bro?
Aw.
I remember when he used to
cry when I'd drop him off
'cause he'd missed me too much.
Oh my god. Don't
get me started.
They are growing
up way too fast.
I'll pick him up tomorrow.
Late morning okay?
Yeah,
sure. We'll be here.
You know your contractor
was over here this morning.
- Oh, uh, Erik?
- Yeah.
Thanks for the recommendation.
He had some great ideas about
how to fix up the house.
But my god, Kendra.
You didn't tell me he's so hot.
Yeah, he, he's a, he's
a good looking guy.
If I tell you something,
will you keep it a secret?
Sure.
He made a pass at me.
Really?
Yeah, we made out.
You and Erik?
On the couch for like half
an hour. Can you believe it?
Good for you.
Do you think I should text
him or just keep it cool?
- Text him.
- Really?
Yeah. Why not?
I gotta go.
Yeah. I'll, I'll
see you tomorrow.
Bye.
Okay. Wait, are you serious?
You met Erik for drinks?
Yeah.
Well we, we just talked.
It was nice.
Nice.
Okay. What are you
not telling me?
Okay.
He invited me back to his place.
His place?
I went inside and I
guess I came to my senses
because I just left.
You just... left?
Yeah.
- Nothing happened.
- Nothing.
Nothing happened.
Well that's good.
Cheating on TV always
looks like fun,
but in real life it
must be exhausting.
I, I couldn't do that to Peter
and I got confirmation today
that that was the
right decision.
What do you mean?
Well, Heather told me something.
Heather.
Oh, come on, Kendra.
You and Heather cannot have
a secret that I don't know.
You two are barely even friends.
Erik went over to her place
to try to get some work.
And she told me he made a pass
at her and they made out out.
I guess I'm not as special
as I thought I was.
Well, it's a good thing
you didn't sleep with him.
'Cause then I would
be the home wrecker
since I introduced you two.
Very true.
I'm gonna move on to
that other bottle.
Oh, no more for me.
Fine, suit yourself.
- I'll be right back.
- Okay.
What are you doing here?
What is your problem?
What time is it?
It's late.
How'd it go?
You didn't text me.
Well, I didn't get fired.
So, I'd call it a win.
Do I get to say, I told you so?
Come to bed.
Yeah.
- Hey Kendra.
- Hey.
Langston, your mom's here.
So, how did it go last night?
Lots of pizza and video games.
As expected, I
barely even saw them.
Hey, there he is.
Oh, Langston.
Thanks for having me.
You're very welcome, Langston.
It was good to see you.
We'll have Will over next time.
Have a great day.
You too. Oh, by the way.
Thanks for the
advice last night.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Can I get another dog?
Where did that come from?
I don't know.
We already talked about this.
I miss Charlie too,
but I'm not ready to
go through that again.
Tell me about last night.
What did you guys do?
Nothing.
Nothing?
So you literally just
did nothing all night?
We played video games.
Well that sounds fun.
God Mom, stop!
Stop what?
It was not fun.
Why?
'Cause me and Will aren't
even friends anymore.
What, what do you mean?
He makes fun of me at school.
He does? Why?
I don't know.
I'll ask his mom about it.
No, no.
Okay? Do not do that.
Okay.
Stay here.
Officer, what happened?
I'm not a liberty to discuss
that with you, ma'am.
Is that Erik Curry,
the man who lives here?
Honestly, ma'am I don't know.
Are you okay?
Let's go.
Hey buddy. How was your night?
It was okay.
Grab your football.
Let's go to the park.
Go long.
Oh, okay.
We just saw something.
What?
It looks like somebody
died at Erik Curry's house.
Our contractor?
Yeah, they were, they
were bringing a body out,
but they wouldn't
tell me who it was.
Oh my god.
You still have his number?
We should check in with him.
No. Yeah.
I, I tried, it went
straight to voicemail.
I'm getting really worried.
Okay.
Why don't you come with us?
No, I, I wanna stay back.
I just wanna try to
figure out what happened.
Well, maybe I should
stay here then.
No just, just go.
Get some exercise, alright?
I'll let you know
what I find out.
- You sure?
- Yes.
Okay.
Come on buddy. Let's go.
Can you pick me up out front?
I'm gonna go check
on the bird house.
It looks like they're
making a nest.
Good to be a kid sometimes.
Yep.
Let's go, Langston!
Heather. Hey.
Hey, I heard there's
something going on
over at Erik's house, but
I can't get ahold of him.
Do you know anything?
I don't know. They, they
were taking out a body.
A body!
Oh my god.
Did you end up texting
him last night?
Yeah.
- And he was okay?
- Yeah. I, I, I think so, but...
Oh, that's Samantha.
I need to take this.
Let me know if
you hear anything?
Yeah. I, I will.
- Hey.
- Hey.
It was him.
Erik is dead.
There's a lot I
need to tell you.
I'm coming over.
Okay.
They haven't officially
confirmed his identity yet,
but, it's Erik.
Shelli Merrill's
husband is a cop
and she heard it
straight from him.
But what happened?
I don't think they know yet.
I just, I don't understand.
He was so young and healthy.
Sometimes you just never know.
Maybe he had a, a sudden
heart attack or something.
I don't know. I'm,
I'm just guessing.
You know, we...
we got really close while
he was working on the house.
I don't know.
I guess I didn't really wanna
admit it to myself, but...
We had a connection.
At least I thought so.
I know that Erik and I
never actually did anything,
but it just feels
like it's the secret
that I can't talk to
anybody about, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah. Totally.
That must be really
weird for you.
I just, I was just so sad.
You know?
I can't believe he's gone.
I'm sorry to leave
you like this,
but I really have
to get back to work.
- Yeah.
- I'm gonna go freshen up
and head out, okay?
Are you okay?
Yeah. Yeah.
I'll be fine.
Hey, we're back.
Uh, hey.
What's going on?
Samantha just gave me
some really bad news.
Oh no. What?
It was, it was Erik.
He's dead.
My god. What happened?
I don't know.
Geeze.
He must have been
younger than me.
That's crazy.
I, I know you knew
him better than I did.
I'm, I'm sorry, sweetheart.
Yeah, I think I'm just I'm,
I'm, I'm kind of in shock.
Scary stuff, huh buddy?
Yeah. I'm gonna go to my room.
Maybe we could go out to lunch
or something to get
your mind off of it.
I think I just wanna stay home.
I don't think I
feel like going out.
Sure. Okay.
I'll make you some tea.
That'd be nice.
And in local
news, police are continuing
to investigate the
death of Erik Curry,
a contractor who was found dead
in his Atlanta home yesterday.
Initial reports suggest
he may have been deceased
for several hours whenneighbors
discovered the body.
Authorities await the
results of an autopsy.
But sources say it certainly
looks like foul play.
And while there are
currently no
suspects, it appear...
Good afternoon, Ms. Davis.
I'm Detective Collins,
Atlanta Metro.
This is my partner,
Detective Schilling.
Yes. Hi.
May we come in?
Of course, please.
So, yesterday, I saw you
outside of Erik Curry's home
and I'm assuming that you
know that he's deceased.
Yes, it's awful.
I, I've seen it
all over the news.
How well did you know him?
Fairly well, he,
he just did some,
some work on our house recently.
When was that?
He just finished up just,
just a few weeks ago.
Okay. Were you all friendly?
You could say that.
Yeah, he was nice.
Easy to talk to.
Did you ever see him socially?
I, I saw him around town
every once in a while.
Any other times?
Yes.
We met for drinks.
When?
Thursday night.
Just drinks?
Yes. Just drinks.
- Where?
- At the Rose Tavern.
Did you go anywhere after that?
No. I just came home.
Are you sure?
Of course. I'm sure.
We have a ride share driver
who says that he drove
you from Erik's place
to this address at
approximately 11:00 p.m.
on Thursday night.
11:02,
according to the app.
That's correct.
So why did you just tell
us that you went home?
Because I did.
I, I rode with Erik
back to his place
and then I got a ride share
from there to my home.
Why did you go to his house?
I don't know.
Just to hang out.
Were you and Erik intimate?
No.
But you were friends?
You could say that.
Did your husband ever
know anything about this?
Do I know anything about what?
Hello, Mr. Davis.
I'm Detective Collins.
Schilling.
Go up to your room, Langston.
Langston, go.
What's going on?
We were just asking your wife
some questions about Erik Curry.
Oh, I see.
I'm sorry.
How can we help?
Why don't we continue
this another time?
Give me a call and we
can arrange something.
Homicide.
Do you think he was murdered?
It seems that way.
Oh my god.
Well, I can see you out.
Of course. Thank you.
Why did you lie to me?
Please keep your voice down.
Langston doesn't
need to hear this.
How long has this been going on?
What do you mean?
Were you sleeping with him?
No.
I'm not sure I believe you.
Come on Peter, just calm down.
- Okay?
- No, no, no.
You were sneaking
around with him
and you lied to me about it.
What was I supposed to think?
Yeah, right.
Peter.
Peter.
Hey.
I'm sorry I lied to you.
It was really stupid of me.
I just want the truth, Kendra.
Okay.
The truth is...
Erik and I became friends while
he was working on the house.
He was funny and...
And, and, and what? Tell me.
Nice to me.
Interested in what I had to say.
It, it made me feel good.
Feel good?
Okay.
I don't know.
Ever since Langston's
been getting older,
I, I don't even know what to
do with myself half the time.
I feel kind of aimless.
And there's this
distance between us.
So this is my fault?
No, of course not.
I'm trying to be
honest with you.
And if I'm totally
honest, I was tempted.
Tempted.
But nothing happened.
I swear, Peter.
I wouldn't do that to you.
Come on, Peter.
What you got?
You scared me.
Do you know whose phone this is?
I found it in the laundry.
No, it's not mine.
I know it's not yours, kid.
Where's Dad.
I don't know.
Mom, What's going on?
I want to know.
It's complicated.
Whatever.
Okay.
Can I help you?
Oh, uh I was just looking.
Guy was killed.
You knew him?
Erik, right?
Yeah.
Were, were you two close?
I just knew him in passing.
I'm sorry. I don't
mean to bother anybody.
Guess our time's up.
You're the best, you know?
Of course.
Hey kiddo.
Turkey sandwich?
Thanks.
Was uh, Samantha just here?
Yeah. She stopped
by to see you.
You let her in?
Yeah, just for a little bit.
Then she left.
Okay.
Hey.
Where'd you go?
Just went for a drive.
Did you see anybody?
Nope.
I just needed to think.
Oh, I, I, I found a phone.
You found a phone?
I found a phone in the laundry,
must've fallen outta
somebody's pocket.
I put it right here.
Did you take it?
No.
Why would I take it?
Langston.
Langston, come down here.
Langston!
Alright.
What?
Did you take that phone
that I found in the laundry?
No.
Why would I take it?
That's exactly
what I said, dude.
Somebody took it.
It wasn't me.
Hey babe.
I saw Peter with Heather today.
He, he snuck out the house...
Alright, slow down.
Okay. I know.
- I'm sorry.
- I'll be outside.
Um, one minute.
Okay, now why would Peter
sneak off to see Heather Nolan?
That's what I was wondering.
You didn't just ask him?
No.
I mean, he just found out that
I was hanging out with Erik
without telling him.
- It just felt...
- Hypocritical?
To call him out for
doing the same thing?
- Exactly.
- Yeah.
Have you found out
anything new about Erik?
Yes.
So it was definitely murder.
Someone hit him over the
head with a blunt object.
Oh my god.
Who, who could do that?
That's the question.
Have the detectives
talked to you?
Why would they talk to me?
Well, you knew him pretty well.
Yeah, but I wasn't with him
the night before
he got murdered.
You mean like me?
I didn't mean it
like that, Kendra, come on.
I guess they think I'm involved.
They asked me to come down
for an interview tomorrow.
They're just gathering as
much information as they can.
Try not to worry so much.
Yeah, easier said than done.
By the way, I'm
sorry I missed you.
Missed me?
Yeah. I saw you driving
away from the house
as I was pulling up.
Oh, right.
Well I just, I just
wanted to talk.
Look, I, I really gotta go.
Okay, we can talk tomorrow.
Yeah, sure.
- Bye.
- Bye.
We believe Erik was
killed by a blow to the head
with one of his own wrenches.
That's awful.
He was very meticulous
with his tools,
but one of the
wrenches is missing
and all of his tools are
marked with his initials:
"B.C."
Have you ever seen a wrench
like that, Mrs. Davis?
No.
Why would I have?
Maybe he used it when he was
doing work on your house?
Oh, I don't. I don't know.
I, I don't remember.
We already know about
your date Thursday?
No, it... not a date.
Can you tell us where
you were on Friday night?
The night of the murder?
Um, I, I took my son Langston
over to his friend's house
for a sleepover.
What friend?
Will Nolan.
They've been friends
since they were little.
What time did you drop him off?
Uh, 6:30, 7:00?
It was still light out.
And then?
And, and then I went home.
Peter was out with some clients
and my friend Samantha
came over around eight.
What's Samantha's last name?
Rogers.
That's how I met Erik, actually.
And what did you
and Samantha do?
We just watched TV
and, and talked.
For how long?
She left around 10:00.
And then?
And then I went to bed.
What time did your
husband come home?
Uh, I don't know.
I, I don't know.
I, I was asleep.
So, you don't know for
sure if he came home.
He came home. I, I, I just,
I woke up, then I fell
right back asleep.
It was late. Definitely
after midnight.
Why are you asking about Peter?
Just gathering
information, ma'am.
Oh, sorry.
It's my son's school.
- Hello?
- Ms. Davis,
Langston's gotten
into another fight.
I see.
Can you come to
school and get him?
Yes, I'll be right there.
Thank you.
I'm afraid I'm gonna
have to pick him up.
No problem. You've
been very helpful.
That reminds me.
You wouldn't happen to know
where Erik's cell phone is,
would you?
His cell phone?
It's missing.
Just like the wrench.
Are you all right? Ms. Davis?
Yeah. I'm, I'm fine.
I just, I need to get to my son.
You didn't answer my question.
About?
Any idea where Erik's
cell phone might be?
Um no, no, I, I don't know.
I, I'm sorry. I really
do need to go now.
Come on, baby.
Hey, are you okay, Will?
Will get in the car.
No, he's not okay.
Langston attacked him.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sure there must
have been some reason.
What reason?
Are you trying to blame Will?
No, not, not at all.
I, I didn't even get
the full story yet.
Langston hurt him.
What else do you need to know?
Boys fight sometimes.
I'm sure Langston
didn't mean to hurt him.
Well, I'm glad that
you're so sure about that.
Well, Will can be a bit
of a bully, sometimes.
A bully?
Excuse me.
I'm sorry. That came out wrong.
Heather.
Heather.
What?
What were you and Peter
doing together yesterday?
What are you talking about?
I saw you two at the park.
He's your husband. Ask him.
It's not that big of a deal.
I hit Will.
Yeah, I know that.
And it is a big deal.
Why'd you do it?
He was making fun of me
with his new friends.
So I hit him.
Why was he making fun of you?
'Cause he's a jerk.
But I thought you
guys were friends.
No, we're not Mom.
I told you that.
Okay. You're right.
Maybe I need to be
a better listener,
and realize that you're
not a little kid anymore.
But no more hitting
anybody, okay?
Violence isn't the answer.
Is there uh, anything else
you wanna tell me about?
What do you mean?
Like about Dad?
What about him?
I don't know.
Is, is he acting a little
strange at all lately?
All of you've been
acting strange.
All of who?
Adults.
Parents.
You and Dad.
Will's mom.
Heather? What do you mean?
She snuck out that
night I slept over.
Snuck out?
Snuck out of her own house.
It was about 11:00.
I heard her talking on the
phone and it woke me up.
I walked out on the balcony
and I watched her leave.
I mean how's that for strange?
How did it go at
the police station?
I don't know.
It was uh, uncomfortable.
What'd they ask you?
All kinds of things.
By the way,
I had to pick up Langton
from school early today.
Why?
He got into a fight, with Will.
Will?
That's weird.
I always thought
they were so close.
Gave him a black eye.
I already talked
to him about it,
but I think you should too.
Definitely. I'll go
talk to him right now.
Heather was really
upset about it.
Have you heard from her?
No.
Why would Heather
reach out to me?
I'll get it.
- You expect anyone?
- No.
Alright.
Can I help you?
Hey buddy, your parents here?
Yeah. You wanna come in?
Is interrupting a family
dinner standard protocol now?
Sorry, sir.
I'm sure you understand time
is of the essence in our work.
This won't take long.
Langston, go to your room.
Kendra's been more
than accommodating.
She went down to
the station today,
as you requested, answered
all your questions.
What more do you
need to ask of her?
Actually, we have a few
questions for you, Mr. Davis.
Such as?
Maybe we should sit down.
Okay.
So what would you like to know?
Where were you Friday night?
I met with some clients
that were in town.
What kind of clients?
I'm a corporate lawyer.
What were your clients' names?
Dwayne Sanders
and Isaiah Carpenter.
They work for
Fulbright Industries
and I've done a lot of business
with them over the years.
Where did you go?
Joe's Back Nine Sports Bar.
What time did you leave?
After the last
call, around 10:00.
Did you go anywhere after that?
Kendra told us
you got home late.
She wasn't sure
of the exact time,
but said it was past midnight.
Look, Peter, full disclosure.
We have door cam security
footage from a private residence
that shows your SUV driving
on Fair Oaks Avenue at 10:22.
Just two blocks away
from Erik Curry's house.
Erik's neighborhood
wouldn't be on your way home
from the Back Nine.
In fact, it's on the
other side of the freeway
going in the opposite
direction from your house.
Oh.
I went to go see him.
You went to go see who?
Erik.
Tell us what happened.
Please tell us everything.
The whole story.
I found out that Kendra had
been sneaking around with him.
You did?
I followed you on
Thursday night.
Let's get back to Friday.
After a couple of
drinks at The Back Nine
I decided to go see Erik.
Why?
To tell him to stay
away from my wife.
So you went to his house
and then what happened?
I knocked on the front door.
He answered.
You know why I'm here.
- I guess.
- Stay away from my wife.
I had my say and left.
I didn't even enter his house.
- That's it?
- That's it.
I swear.
Look, I understand how
bad this must look,
but you know, I would
never hurt anyone.
Peter, Peter would never
do something like that.
These things tend
to spiral out of control.
Maybe you lost your temper
and, and there was an accident.
What? No, no, that's
not what happened.
If I had killed him,
I wouldn't be even
talking to you right now.
I'm not an idiot.
I would get a lawyer and I
sure as hell wouldn't admit
going to his house.
But you did admit it.
'Cause I'm trying
to help you guys
figure out what happened.
So you would say you were
at Erik's house, maybe what,
10 minutes or so?
Not even, less than that.
Okay.
That's still a couple of
hours unaccounted for.
Where did you go when you
left Erik Curry's house?
I just, I, I just drove around.
You just drove around?
Yeah.
Yeah. Listen, it's late.
And I think I've answered
enough of your
questions for tonight.
Okay.
Thank you for your time.
We'd like to
continue this tomorrow,
if you don't mind.
Fine. I'll be here.
Well, I hope you
have a good evening.
We'll see you at the station
in the morning, Mr. Davis.
And of course, you
have the right
to have an attorney
present if you wish.
By the way, you
haven't seen a wrench
with the initials "E.C." on it
laying around
anywhere, have you?
No.
What about a cell phone?
We're still looking for Erik's.
No.
See you tomorrow.
Where are you going?
Upstairs.
No, we need to talk about this.
About what?
Where did you go after Erik's?
Yeah, I could tell you weren't
telling the truth about that.
I need you to be honest with me.
Honesty? Right.
Did you take the phone that
I found in the laundry?
Did I take it?
I've never even seen it.
Why didn't you mention
it to the detectives?
You know why.
I...
I can't stand the way you're
looking at me right now.
That's it. I'm
getting out here.
Peter!
Peter.
Langston, I'll be right back.
It's gonna be all right.
I don't know what to do.
Cops are asking questions.
- It's too much.
- I know.
I tried to explain that
I was just driving around
and then they start accusing me.
Don't worry.
I've got your back. Okay?
Don't worry.
What are you looking for?
You really are scared of me.
How do, how do you
expect me to act? Hmm?
You're hiding something.
Why did you go to see Heather?
You followed me?
Yeah, I did.
Just like you did to me.
And that's not the first
time you've gone to see her
and lied to me about it.
Like you lied to me about Erik?
Look, I know I haven't been
completely honest either.
Whatever's happening, I just,
I just need to know, please.
You were right.
About what?
I wasn't completely upfront
with the detectives.
After I left Erik's house, I
didn't just go drive around.
I, I, I went to see Heather.
And what did you and Heather do?
Nothing, just talked in the car.
Okay.
So you could talk to her,
but you couldn't talk to me.
What's really going
on between you two?
Nothing.
Come on.
I saw you guys at the park.
I, I saw the way she
touched your shoulder.
I saw the way she hugged you.
Okay. Okay.
We have gotten
close. That is true.
But we've never done anything
physical, nothing like that.
She's just a friend.
When did it start?
It didn't really start.
We've known each
other for years.
I, I, I sometimes text her.
She texts me back and
I guess it just...
It just what?
It was a mistake. Alright?
I'm sorry.
I shoulda never let
it go on like that.
It will never happen again.
I still love you, Kendra.
And I just want things to go
back the way they used to be.
- Me too.
- Okay.
But I need you to
be honest with me.
Always.
I need you to tell me what
happened that night with Erik.
Absolutely nothing!
You think it was me.
I could never hurt
anyone, you know that.
Yes. Fine. I, I do.
But if it wasn't you, then...
You know, there's something
else I need to tell you.
After I left Erik's house,
I saw someone else arriving.
It was dark.
I was looking out the rear view
mirror, and I can't be sure,
but it...
Uh, but I thought
it was Samantha's car.
I don't really know
where to begin,
but I need to ask you
something really important.
Okay.
What is it?
Did you happen to
go by Erik's place
after you left my
house on Friday night?
Erik's? No.
Hmm, because Peter went
over there around 10:30,
to tell Erik to leave me alone.
And he thinks that he saw you
arrive when he was leaving.
Well, it must have
been someone else.
Are you sure?
Yeah. I'm sure.
If you know anything,
you need to tell me.
The police are interviewing
Peter tomorrow.
They think he had something
to do with Erik's death.
I mean, can you blame them?
I mean, you were basically
having an emotional affair
with Erik and that
gives Peter motive.
And if they know that he was
at the scene of the crime,
just before the murder, I mean,
what do you expect
them to think?
You don't really believe
all that, do you?
I need you to tell me the truth.
I am.
Well, I can tell
when you're lying.
Well, believe what
you wanna believe.
What about the phone?
- What phone?
- Erik's phone.
Okay.
I give up.
Kendra, what are
you talking about?
Okay, you were at my house
the day we found out
about Erik's death.
- Okay.
- Did you have Erik's phone?
Did, did you maybe plant
it in my laundry room?
Why would I do that?
To frame my husband.
Yeah.
You knew that he was at
Erik's house that night.
I told you I wasn't there.
And I saw you leaving
my place the other day.
Langston said you came inside.
Maybe you came back
to get the phone?
Oh, oh, oh, okay. Wait.
Let, so let me
get this straight.
You're accusing me of planting
a phone in your house.
Now you're accusing me
of stealing it back.
Maybe you had second thoughts.
Maybe there was something
incriminating on the phone,
like, like, like a text
between you and Erik maybe.
So that's why you came here?
To accuse me of stealing this
mysterious phone right now?
Did you have a fight with Erik?
Was there an accident? Hmm?
A fatal accident.
You have got to be kidding me.
You think I had something
to do with Erik's death?
- Wow.
- No.
You know what?
You need to leave.
- Samantha. I, I'm just...
- You need to leave now!
Hey.
Buckle up.
How was school?
It sucked.
Do you wanna tell me about it?
The teacher stepped out
and Will called me a douche
in front of the whole class.
Well, I hope you ignored him.
Well, it's hard to when
everybody's laughing.
Do you want me to
talk to your teacher?
No. No, she wouldn't listen.
I'll make her listen.
Just forget it.
I don't care anymore.
Hey.
How'd it go with
the police today?
The lawyer said not to worry,
but I don't know what to think.
You hungry?
No, I already ate,
but thank you.
I'm gonna try to
get some work done
because I'm behind
on everything.
Oh, and I told them that
I thought I saw Samantha.
They're probably
already talking to her.
I'm sorry.
No, you did the right thing.
No more secrets, right?
- Mm.
- Peter?
Yeah.
We're gonna get through this.
Yeah.
Hey.
Well, thanks for ratting
me out to the cops.
I thought we were friends.
What do you expect us to do?
Peter's a murder suspect.
All that matters right
now is the truth.
No, the only thing that's
gonna come out of this
is my husband finding out
that I went to see another man
late on a Friday night.
I'm dealing with the
same thing with Peter,
but maybe this will
be for the best.
Maybe we can all try to
be a little more honest
with each other.
Why were you at Erik's?
Why do you think?
You were sleeping with him.
I had no idea something was
going on between you two.
You never said anything
to me about it.
It's because you only
ever think of yourself.
Samantha...
Would you just listen
to me? For once.
The police came to see
me. I kept my mouth shut,
but I'm speaking with them
tomorrow with my lawyer.
And I wanted to give you a
heads up for old time's sake
because I'm telling them
the truth about everything.
Good.
That's exactly
what you should do.
And I told you I have
nothing else to hide.
But maybe your husband does.
What do you mean?
Did Peter tell you what
happened just before he saw me?
Peter attacked Erik.
He got out of the car
and walked up to the front door.
You know why I'm here.
Erik came out and they
got into an argument.
I couldn't hear what
they were saying.
And then suddenly
Peter swung at Erik,
just punched him,
right in the face.
Oh my god.
Maybe Peter is the
one keeping secrets.
The only reason I didn't
say something before
is because I didn't
want anyone to know
that I was with Erik that night.
I spoke to him later
and he told me Peter
threatened to kill him.
I didn't think your husband
was capable of murder,
but... maybe he is.
Maybe he's the one
who took Erik's phone
to cover both your tracks.
You and I may be done, but
I am a loyal enough friend
to tell you to watch your back.
Okay?
Peter?
What are you doing?
Why are you sneaking off
in the middle of the night?
I'll be back. Don't worry.
Where are you going?
Just trust me on this.
Trust you on what?
No more secrets. Remember?
- Okay.
- What's that?
- What do you have?
- Nothing! Ow!
Kendra.
Kendra.
- Oh!
- Hey!
Kendra!
Come here.
No, no, no, no.
Stop! Come here.
You're making a mistake!
Stay away from me.
Kendra.
- Langston, wake up!
- Stop it.
Where's your phone? We
need to call the police.
- No, please.
- Let me in, Kendra.
The police?
Where is your phone?
Stay back.
Fine. Okay.
I said stay back!
You don't understand.
I do understand.
How could you do that?
How could you kill him?
I didn't.
This is a murder weapon.
Yes, Kendra. I know that.
What?
What is going on?
Langston.
Langston.
I can't take it anymore.
Baby, baby.
- Stop!
- Okay.
It's okay.
It's alright, son.
- Hey. Hey.
- Langston.
- Hey, Langston!
- Langston!
Langston, stop!
- Stay back.
- Oh no, no, no.
Stop. Stop.
Stay back. Stop.
No, no Langton please, no.
Langston, put the knife down.
Put it down.
We can work through this.
No, we can't, it's too late.
No, no, it's not, son.
It, it's okay.
We'll, we'll give
you your space. Okay?
Just please, please
don't press down
on the knife like that,
baby, baby please.
We don't need to do
anything rash, right?
And we can just, we can
just talk this through.
Like we always do.
We'll figure this out.
No, we can't, not this time.
That's not true.
I'm not gonna let you do it.
Give me the knife.
I'm not gonna let
you hurt yourself.
There's no way. Okay?
I love you too much.
Okay? It's okay.
Baby, it's okay. It's okay.
Just drop the knife. Come on.
Come on.
Okay, okay.
Okay, okay, okay buddy.
It's alright. It's alright.
It was me.
I killed Erik.
Okay.
It's alright. Okay.
Okay, okay, okay.
It's alright, buddy.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
I knew you'd been talking
to Erik for a while.
How?
I put spyware on your phone.
Your phone, too.
Why did you do that?
At first it was just to
see if I could do it.
Like the cameras.
The cameras?
There's one up in that corner.
It's tiny. It's
really hard to see.
But they're all over the house.
I know it sounds weird,
but I'm good with
that kind of stuff.
And I thought it'd be
fun to spy on you guys.
But I ended up learning
all the secrets
you've been keeping
from each other.
And with the spyware I
could read your phone.
All of your texts.
It gave away everything.
Mom, you'd been
flirting with Erik.
Dad, you were doing the
same thing with Will's mom.
I, I, I know it sounds stupid,
but I just didn't want
you guys to get a divorce.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
That doesn't sound stupid.
I totally understand.
I'm sorry, son.
I'm really sorry.
I know you went to see
Erik on Thursday night.
So when Will's mom snuck out
to see Dad on Friday night,
I sent Erik a text telling
him to stay away from you.
I kept checking my phone.
I waited for him to
answer me and he didn't.
It made me really mad.
Will was asleep and
his mom was gone.
So, I just had this crazy idea.
I grabbed my coat, tried
to be as quiet as I could,
then I snuck out of the room
and decided to go
to Erik's house.
But why?
Why would you wanna do that?
He ignored my text.
So I wanted to go
confront him in person.
But I didn't realize
that Dad had done the
same exact thing earlier.
I heard you tell it
to the detectives.
I watched the whole thing
from the living room camera.
So what happened after
snuck out of Will's house?
Will's house isn't that
far away from Erik's.
I hid whenever I saw a car.
I wasn't planning on
doing anything bad.
I...
I just, I just wanted
to talk to him.
I just wanted to
make him answer me.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
Hey, you're Kendra's kid, right?
Um, Langston.
Yeah.
Did you get my text?
No.
What text?
Stay away from my mom.
What?
Stay away from my mom.
That's what I told him.
That's all I was gonna tell
him and then I was gonna leave.
But...
But, but what?
But he laughed at me.
Just like Will and his
friends laugh at me.
Stay away from my Mom!
Man, you're strong.
I'll give you that, but,
I still don't know why...
I, I didn't mean to kill him.
I, I, I swear.
I didn't, you guys,
you have to believe me.
We believe you.
You believe me?
Of course we do, Son.
Of course.
Am I gonna go to jail?
No, you are not going to jail.
We are going to get
through this, together
and nothing's going
to happen to you.
I promise.
He's finally asleep.
I saw that hidden in his
room a couple days ago.
A couple days ago.
Why didn't you tell me?
I've been trying to figure
out what the hell to do.
So you just wanna get rid of it?
Of course!
This could change
his life, Kendra.
Okay. What about Erik?
He killed a man.
Are we supposed to just
sweep that under the rug?
Why not?
He said he didn't mean to do it.
I believe him. Don't you?
Of course. But...
No, no, if anything Erik's
blood is on our hands
because of our secrets.
Think about that.
Our son was just trying to
keep his family together.
We've always known he
had behavioral issues.
Remember the playground fights?
Those were just
minor incidences.
That's what we told ourselves.
But now we have the time to
get him the help that he needs.
We get rid of the wrench
and we put it somewhere that
no one could ever find it.
Okay?
Just like I did with the phone.
You destroyed the phone.
Yes.
This, this is a really serious
decision we're making.
Do you understand that?
You think, I don't know that?
I'm willing to do whatever
it takes to protect Langston
from our mistakes, Kendra.
But if you're not, you
need to tell me right now.
Langston said he texted Erik.
Okay.
As soon as the police
check the phone records,
they're gonna know it was him.
No, they won't.
I used an app to send
the text anonymously.
They can't trace it.
And without Erik's phone,
they'll never even
know what I said.
Don't don't worry, Son.
Don't worry.
We've got this.
Everything is going to be okay.
Right?
- Right.
- Yeah.
We've got this.
You're gonna be all right.
Watch out. Okay?
- Come on, Langston.
- Let's go.
This way.
Watch your step.
Langston, let's go!
- Whoa!
- Whoa.
Are you guys gonna
be back for lunch?
- Sure.
- What do you think
about BLTs?
- Mmmm, BLTs.
- Your favorite.
How do BLTs sound?
Awesome.
Okay, good.
Have fun.
I love you.
I love you too.
Langston, I'm going long!
Going long!
Yeah, buddy!
Alright.
You still think they're
hiding something, don't you?
As a matter of fact, I do.
Well, we got nothing.
Unless somebody talks
or a certain missing wrench or
cell phone magically appears,
it feels to me like
we hit a dead end.
Sooner or later,
something will give.
Secrets this big
are hard to keep.
Seems like a nice family.
Isn't it always that way?
