She's Obsessed With My Husband (2024) Movie Script
1
(tense music)
(suspenseful music)
Garrett.
You and me.
Forever.
(sighs)
(man) honey!
You almost ready to go?
I'll meet you in the car!
(mournful music)
You're doing it again.
I need a few more minutes.
(mason) tonight is our
15th wedding anniversary.
I got reservations at
your favorite restaurant!
Do you know how hard it is
to get a table at that place?
I need a few more minutes.
(tense music)
(mason) your happiness
is my only concern.
But you promised not to look
at those photos anymore.
Tonight's supposed
to be about us!
Let's put that photo
away and let's go.
Let's put it in the box.
Come on, honey, I'll help you.
(thwack, gasp)
(violet) don't you
ever touch his photo!
This has gone on long enough.
(she gasps)
- (she grunts)
- let go of it!
Let...
- No!
- Let go of it.
No!
(he gasps, grunts)
(dark music)
(struggling)
I hate you!
(choking)
I've always hated you!
(struggling)
(soft music)
(birds chirping)
(fanciful music)
(text notification chimes)
Oh my god.
Oh, come on,
- You're just saying that.
- No, daisy, honestly.
You're the only editor I know
who's never missed a deadline.
Well, I guess I'm
one of those weirdos.
Who just loves to turn
things in on time.
Speaking of which,
I gotta get back to these pages.
- You'll have 'em by tomorrow.
- Great.
Because I have another
three assignments.
That need your
immediate attention.
Whoa, Claudia?
I can barely keep up with
the workload I've got!
(Claudia) and yet,
you somehow manage.
To turn it all in
without missing a beat.
See? You're the best.
(Garrett) I agree.
She's the best.
- Mwah!
- You silly.
Okay, I gotta go.
- I'll talk to you soon.
- Bye!
(Alison) mom, dad...
I got a text.
I made the list!
- What?!
- What list?
(daisy) the list!
The short list for the
Paris academy of design!
The fashion school!
Alison is on it!
Our baby made the list!
Oh, I'm so proud!
(Alison) dad?
That's fantastic news!
(Alison) okay. Let's
celebrate after school.
- Love you!
- Congrats, baby!
(soft music)
(door slams)
What?
Honey, you know I
want this for Alison.
But that Paris school
is super expensive.
She can get a great education.
- Right here in town.
- Are you serious?
We both have been
saving for this.
This is her dream.
We told her we would.
- Help her with this.
- If our finances were in order.
Right? But they're not.
We don't have enough.
And we don't make enough
to send her to Paris.
For four years.
Alison is gonna have
all the opportunities.
That I never had.
Don't fight me on this.
Because you're not gonna win.
(insects chirring)
(tense music)
(he clears his throat)
(breathing heavily)
(car door slams)
Violet?
I'm sorry; Do we
know each other?
Yeah, I think we went
to high school together.
- Garrett?
- (laughs)
Garrett... Hawkins?
Oh my god, what... what
are you doing around here?
I live right there!
- Get out! You do not!
- I do!
So, uh, you bought this place?
Yeah.
Great price and
a great location,
So, yeah, I did.
Actually, today is my
first official day here.
(Garrett) mm. So that would
explain the moving trucks.
That were here yesterday. Great.
Well, welcome to
the neighborhood.
(he laughs)
You have to say hello to daisy.
Hey, honey!
Remember violet
from high school?
She just bought this place.
(he laughs)
(dark music)
- Violet!
- Daisy!
Uh... You haven't changed
a bit in the last 20 years.
(violet) when was the last
time you had your eyes checked?
(uneasy laugh)
Wait, wait, didn't
you two used to date.
- Back in senior year?
- Uh... Yeah, for a...
For a hot minute.
- Maybe, like, a couple weeks.
- More like one.
(chuckling)
So, are you guys married?
Eighteen years and counting.
(Garrett) daisy's a book editor.
And I'm a creative
director for an ad agency,
- And Alison is our...
- Is our perfect
17-year-old daughter.
So! Are you and your...
Husband gonna be living here?
(violet) I just got
divorced last year.
But I've been seeing
this amazing guy.
Hang on, lemme show you.
His name is Pietro.
He's Italian.
(daisy) oh, okay!
(uneasy laughter)
Things are going
super well right now.
(daisy) listen, I'm not
the world's greatest chef,
But why don't you come
over for dinner tonight?
Six o'clock? And bring
your guy with you.
Thank you!
Actually, he's in London
right now on business.
But I'd still love to come.
(daisy) of course!
- We'll see you later tonight.
- Okay.
- All right. Small world.
- Yeah.
(violet) hold on!
I have got to capture
this momentous occasion.
It's crazy, right?
What are the chances
of us being neighbors?
(daisy) I-I'm not
wearing any makeup
(violet) oh, who cares?
You look great. Come on.
Garrett, stand in the middle,
Flanked by us two
gorgeous women.
Ready?
One, two, three!
(phone's camera snaps)
Okay, then!
See you tonight, then.
- Should I bring anything?
- Just yourself.
- All right.
- All right!
(daisy sighs, laughs)
(indistinct chatter)
(dark music)
(door slams)
Eighteen years and counting.
(grunting)
Eighteen years together!
(screams, breathes heavily)
(beeping)
Perfect.
(chopping)
- I just don't get it.
- Get what?
(daisy) I don't get why you and
violet only dated for two weeks.
I mean, the woman
is a rock star.
She's a total knockout.
(Garrett) so?
You're a knockout.
- And a brilliant woman.
- Mm.
(Garrett) and that is sexy.
(soft music)
(Alison) guys...
Get a room!
(doorbell chimes)
(daisy) oh my god, it's violet!
I haven't even
finished everything!
(Garrett) relax, it's casual.
I didn't even brush my hair!
I probably look like a mess!
(eerie music)
(violet) I hope you don't
mind, I brought a homemade pie.
You just moved in
and you had time.
To bake a pie for us?
And if you invite me in,
We can all enjoy it together.
Right. I'm sorry.
Where's my head?
Yes, please come in.
(Alison) oh my god,
that's your boyfriend?
- Is he a model?
- I know, right?
Everyone thinks so, but no.
Pietro's an entrepreneur.
New media, super successful.
Biggest in London and new york.
(Garrett) nice. Do
you work with him?
No.
Since my divorce, I'm
back to doing what I love.
Landscaping, web design,
the occasional makeover.
Wait, you do makeovers?
Can you give me one?
Alison, you do not
need a makeover, honey!
You're perfect the way you are.
(Alison) mom, the fashion
show is coming up.
And I want to look my best.
I don't know anything
about makeup.
And you never have
time to show me.
(violet) ooh, a fashion
show! Fill me in.
It's at my school.
Me and some of the kids from
my fashion design class.
Get to show off our work.
(violet) that's fantastic.
Show her your designs.
- Aww, mom...
- Come on, go get 'em.
Okay.
(laughing)
She's so talented.
You know, she's short-listed
for the fashion program.
At the Paris academy of design.
Oh, wow! Isn't that the
most famous fashion school.
- In the world?
- Yeah, and most expensive.
We've barely managed to
scrape together enough.
To pay for her first year.
One, I'm up for a big promotion,
And two, I will take an
extra job if I have to.
Alison is going to Paris.
(Alison) okay, so I don't really
know what I'm doing, but...
(daisy) yes you do.
- There.
- Wow.
These are great!
- That's my favorite.
- Ooh, yeah,
Especially this one.
Whip up a few sketches.
Of what I might look
like in that dress.
I'll choose one, you'll make it,
I'll pay you.
(Alison) wait, what?
You would? Really?
(violet) only if it's okay
with your mom and dad.
(Garrett) I think
it's a great idea.
(eerie music)
I do too.
(violet) and...
I'd like to go to the
fashion show as well.
- Are you sure?
- Absolutely.
(billiard balls clacking.
(Alison) oh my god.
This is literally so good.
(Garrett) best pie I've
ever eaten, bar none.
- No offense, honey.
- None taken! I agree.
It's a pity my boss
Claudia isn't here.
She has such a sweet tooth.
She'd love this.
Well, why don't I teach
you how to make a pie?
One for your boss,
one for your family.
Might help you get
that promotion sooner.
Would you?
That would be great.
- I'd love to.
- Know about that!
- You totally cheated.
- You scratch on the eight ball,
- You lose, that's it.
- I did not scratch!
I sneezed! It doesn't count!
- He cheated. I saw it.
- Thank you. See?
Three against one.
(violet) thank you for welcoming
me to the neighborhood.
- Of course.
- I can't wait.
Till the fashion show!
And I'll be by in
the morning about 10.
- To help with the pies.
- Sounds good.
(violet) and, Garrett...
What a surprise.
To think we'd meet again
after all these years.
(Garrett) small world.
Okay.
- Good night, everyone.
- Good night!
- Thanks for coming over.
- I'll see you tomorrow.
(Garrett) we'll do
it again, all right?
Be careful. You
know the way home.
- Ohh...
- She's totally cool.
(Garrett) yeah. She
kind of is, isn't she?
(daisy) not to mention,
she's like the best friend
I never had.
(insects chirring)
What?
What?!
Violet's got nothin' on you.
(daisy laughs)
(tender music)
(giggling)
(breathing heavily)
(female singer)
I see you with her
On the boulevard
we always went to
trying to play it cool
I sent a psycho text
or two, and suddenly,
I'm replaced by you
I see you playing cool
but I don't think
you know me well
if you don't know I'm
good at raisin' hell
Daisy.
Your boss is going
to love the pie.
(ominous music)
(eerie music)
(sighs)
(female singer) jack of all
trades but a master of none
spitting out words
like a date rape drug
he's a serpent with
a halo in disguise
oh, manipulate the mouth
until they see what you do
try to take it back so
they don't turn on you
are you tired of being
fake all the damned time
oh, preacher man,
who you talking to
preacher man, what
you trying to prove
selling us a scam,
With every lie,
you make it true
we know that you
are not divine
no, you are not
the preacher man
Preacher man, who
you talking to
selling us a scam,
With every lie,
you make it true
we know that you
are not divine
no, you are not
the preacher man
Jack, come on, you can't
suddenly cut my hours.
(jack) yeah, I can.
But I'm the best guy you have!
You told me so yourself.
(jack) I did. But I'm
still cutting hours.
I brought in a ton of work
to the company last year.
(jack) Garrett, can
you hear yourself?
That was last year.
Things have changed.
I'll bring in new clients, okay?
- We'll be fine.
- Well, right now, we aren't,
So it's less hours or nothing.
Are you threatening to fire me?
(jack) I'm telling
you how it is.
But don't push me,
because I just might.
(typing)
- (sighs)
- (doorbell chimes)
Violet!
Ready to bake some pie?
Just about. I have
one more page to edit.
Come through the office,
hang out for a sec.
- Let me help you.
- Thank you.
(daisy) okay, I am almost done.
(violet) love what you've
done with your office.
- His-and-her desks.
- Thank you. Garrett designed it.
Nice, right?
(ominous music)
Okay. Now.
I'm not really a baker,
So I'm just gonna take notes.
And follow everything
you tell me.
Great.
Okay, I basically brought
everything except.
Utensils and mixing
bowls, which you have.
(daisy) sure. I might have
to dust them off, but yes.
(violet) oops. I left one
of my bags in your office.
I'll just run back and grab it.
(daisy) okay.
Um, what should I do first?
Dust off those mixing bowls.
Where did I put them?
(violet) and there you go.
In about an hour, you'll
have a pie for your boss.
And one for your family.
(daisy) thank you.
Look, I'm sure you have
plenty of things to do, but...
Do you maybe wanna
stay for coffee.
And catch up on
the last 20 years?
I'd love to.
Ooh, this coffee's got a kick!
(daisy) we love it.
It's from this coffee shop on
the corner of 1st and main.
Called best brew.
Garrett goes there
in the afternoon.
To see clients or take a break.
Sometimes, I join him.
I'll have to check it out.
Okay. I've been dying to ask.
Remember a guy,
Junior year football
captain, Kurt, um... Kurt.
- Delarosa?
- Yes, that's it!
Didn't he look
juicy in his jersey?
Mm, I just wanted
to rip it off him.
And do it in the corner.
Violet!
Admit it! You did too.
Oh, the thought may
have crossed my mind.
About a hundred times a day.
Guys like that never
looked at me twice.
Garrett looked at you.
- Yeah.
- More than twice.
I still don't know why.
Come on. You were valedictorian,
Straight a's four
years in a row,
Voted most likely to succeed.
- Should I continue?
- Oh, wow.
You remember all that?
Okay, I guess it
counted for something.
- And yes, delarosa was a hunk.
- Right?
Ugh, okay.
Who else did you
date in high school?
Dish.
I didn't.
Garrett's the only man
I've ever been with.
Come on. Really?
I don't believe you.
(daisy) look, I know you
don't understand, but...
Look at you, violet.
Guys would climb
over a spiked fence.
To get within ten feet of you.
(violet) and yet, I ended
up with lots of losers.
Especially my ex.
Pietro doesn't
look like a loser.
(violet) oh, girl, I swear.
All he has to do is look at me.
And the buttons on
my blouse pop off.
(giggling)
This is embarrassing
to ask, but...
I still don't understand.
Why did you and
Garrett break up?
(tense music)
(violet) I never
broke up with him.
You showed up and
ruined everything!
(screams)
(exclaims)
It was so long ago,
who can remember?
The important thing is
that we've both found.
Someone we really love.
Mm! Let's get that pie
ready for your boss.
I'll need a pair of scissors,
though, maybe from your office?
Oh! Uh, yeah, okay, lemme check.
(suspenseful music)
Found it!
Okay. Now what?
(violet) you wanna put
the pie in the box for me.
Okay, now, let me pull
this beautiful ribbon.
- Scissors.
- Ahh!
- Wow.
- There you have it.
- Thank you.
- Anytime.
(grunting)
(rattling)
(door squeaks)
- Violet Benson.
- (she gasps)
What the hell are
you doing here?
(violet) somebody forgot
to lock his front gate,
Which, by the looks
of this neighborhood,
Not too smart.
- How've you been?
- What do you want?
I have a job for you.
Not interested.
You sure?
Seems like you need one.
Look. I do
construction work now.
May not be reliable,
But at least I won't
go to jail for it.
(violet) well, if you
didn't want to go to jail,
Then you shouldn't have
tried to run that scam.
On my ex-husband.
(Oliver) oh! Ex-husband?
What happened?
Did you get tired of
spending all of his money?
Look, Oliver.
I need somebody with
your skills, all right?
Somebody smooth.
I'm not that smooth.
- I got caught, remember?
- You fooled me.
Fooled my husband.
(scoffs)
I'm not in that
business anymore.
You're still in the
business, Oliver.
You know you are.
What... what's that for?
Down payment.
(Oliver) what do
you want me to do?
(Alison sighs)
(daisy exclaims)
Mom, face it. We suck at this.
(daisy) hey! Haven't you
ever heard the phrase
"practice makes perfect"?
- Mom?
- Uh-huh?
(Alison) I love you. Lots.
But why don't I just ask
violet for a makeover?
I mean, look at her!
It's kinda hard not to.
She probably sleeps
in all that makeup.
In case she has to
jump on a zoom meeting.
In the middle of the night.
But then, isn't she a
good choice to help me?
I wanna look my best
for the fashion show.
Why don't I just ask her?
Because she doesn't know
what's right for you.
I do. And this is not it.
- Okay, we're gonna start over.
- Mom, this isn't working.
I have to go to violet's.
I finished the sketches.
And then I'm off to the library.
Bye.
(soft music)
(violet) cute.
I'll take all of them.
- What?
- One day,
I won't be able to afford them,
So I should get them now, right?
How 'bout this?
I make you the dresses,
You give me a makeover.
I have a better idea.
That's for the material
to make the dresses,
And I'll give you
a makeover, gratis.
But, probably, your mom
won't approve, right?
Totally she won't.
Just say one of your talented
friends at school did it.
Thank you.
I'll keep you updated.
- (sighs)
- (door slams)
I'm going to make
an amazing stepmom.
(ominous music)
(daisy) you were so
distracted this morning,
You barely touched
your breakfast.
I brought you some pie.
Thought you'd better
have something to eat.
Before you leave.
(Garrett) I talked with jack.
He's, uh, cutting my hours.
Starting from today.
What?
You're the best
employee jack's got.
(Garrett) well, we lost
a few accounts, so,
Starting this week, it's gonna
be rough going for a while.
But at least we
have pie. For now.
(daisy) oh, honey, I can't
believe he's doing that to you.
You should be running
that place, not him.
Yeah, well, maybe
one day, I will.
(cell phone ringing)
This is daisy.
("Russ") hi, daisy, my
name is Russ rich man.
I work with fidelity futures.
How are you doing today?
I'm fine.
- Who is it?
- Hang on a second.
Someone from fidelity futures?
(Garrett) hang up, immediately.
We don't need any
financial advice.
We're trying to get
Alison to Paris,
So, actually, we do.
Hang up.
(soft, tense music)
Look, I'm sorry, okay?
It's not you, it's just.
- Everything else.
- I get it.
- I'll see you later.
- Have a good day.
(cell phone ringing)
Look, I don't know how
you got this number,
- But you need to stop.
- (Oliver) mrs. Hawkins,
My name is Russ rich man
with fidelity futures.
May I ask you a few questions
about your financial goals?
Mr. Richman, I am
not interested.
Are you looking to invest
in a vacation home?
- No.
- Traveling abroad?
(daisy) I really don't
have time for this.
(Oliver) how about saving up
for your child's education?
- I'm listening.
- Are you near your computer?
I just want you to take
a look at our company.
And see what we're all about
and how we can benefit you.
(daisy) yes. Hang on.
(Oliver) the thing is,
the job market is in flux,
And people don't have
the money that they need.
To achieve their dreams.
And... What can you do for me?
(Oliver) well, I'm the
head financial adviser.
Here at fidelity,
And I can proudly say
that we can double.
Our investors' funds in
as little as six months.
- No one can do that.
- We can.
(daisy) okay, convince me.
Absolutely.
How about a preliminary
meeting at our offices?
Say... Tomorrow? At 1 p.M.?
The address and directions
are on our website.
(daisy) okay, but I would like
to meet with you privately.
First to discuss it,
And before getting
my husband involved.
(Oliver) of course.
And thank you, mrs. Hawkins.
We'll see you tomorrow.
Okay, so, what, there's
really an office.
At the address on the website?
Ten minutes from
here. I rented it.
You rented an office for this?
(indistinct chatter)
(woman vocalist)
talkin' to your mother,
Try to tell her
that you love her
but can't tell her
that you love her
'cause she'll (inaudible)
(Claudia) daisy.
(daisy) oh, please tell me
you haven't been waiting long.
(Claudia) nope, right on
time. I have good news.
- What?
- You got the promotion.
- Agh!
- You're the senior book editor.
- Congrats!
- Oh, god, you made my day.
- Thank you.
- Don't thank me, you earned it.
(daisy) well, I have
a surprise for you.
I made this under the
mentors hip of someone.
Who actually knows what
they're doing, I promise.
- I hope you love it.
- Ooh, this does look good.
You think they'll mind
if we eat this here?
(daisy) if they
do, we don't care.
Come on.
(machine whirring)
(Claudia) mm, oh, so good.
You sure you won't join me?
(daisy) nope. We
had ours already.
- Mm.
- I made this one just for you.
I promised my daughter, Gina,
I'd start a new diet today,
But to hell with that.
(laughing)
(Claudia) you know, daisy,
You've been such an
asset to the company.
I really like working with you.
(daisy) ditto.
(indistinct chatter)
(Claudia) mm.
(grim music)
(daisy) what? What's wrong?
I... I just need to
use the restroom.
(daisy) oh! Okay,
let me help you.
(Claudia) please
don't. Honestly.
- I'm fine.
- I don't think so.
- We're so sorry.
- I'm okay,
I just had yogurt and
melon for breakfast.
- Serves me right.
- Okay, I'm calling 911.
Honestly, I just
need to go home.
Yes, hi, um, I
need an ambulance.
I'm at best brew on main.
I'm fine. I just need to rest.
15 minutes.
No, I can get her
there faster myself.
We are going to
the emergency room.
Just take me home. Gina
will pick up my car later.
(daisy) no, we are
going to the er.
(intense music)
(door closes)
Violet.
What the hell did
you put in that pie?
Claudia is in the hospital
because she ate your pie.
(violet) whoa, calm down.
All I did was show
you how to make it.
Didn't you guys
eat the other one?
- Yeah.
- Did any of you get sick?
- No.
- Is it possible.
That Claudia was allergic
to one of the ingredients?
(soft, pensive music)
Oh my god...
I'm an idiot. Of course.
She must have been
allergic to something.
Forget I was ever here.
I'm so sorry.
(sighs)
Not as sorry as you're gonna be.
(sinister music)
(soft, tense music)
("Russ") you must be daisy.
(daisy) hi, mr. Richman?
("Russ") please, call me Russ.
(daisy) where is everybody?
Are they at lunch?
Oh, uh, actually they're
on a team-building retreat.
In napa valley.
(daisy) oh, well, why
aren't you with them?
("Russ") well, two reasons.
A, I've already been through
marine corps boot camp.
(daisy laughs)
And b, someone's gotta
keep the fires burning.
(daisy laughs)
Come on in.
Did you get a chance
to look at our website?
(daisy) I did. Very impressive.
("Russ") oh, thank you, daisy.
We strive for excellence here.
So let's talk investments.
What's the goal here?
(daisy) my daughter
got accepted.
Into a very exclusive fashion
design school in Paris.
- Oh.
- But tuition, living expenses,
They're astronomical.
But I'm determined
the provide her.
With this opportunity.
Well, I am already extremely
impressed with you.
And your willingness
to make things happen.
(soft music)
(laughing softly)
Uh, so, how much were
you thinking to invest?
We've saved $75,000.
And we've got a little bit more
tucked away for emergencies,
- Which this is one.
- It is.
So your husband is on board.
(daisy) um... He will be.
Um...
We both really want
this for Alison.
(grim music)
She's the center of our world.
Of course she is.
So, um, how 'bout I show you
some of the plans we have?
(indistinct chatter)
(doorbell jingles)
(Garrett) hey, Terrence.
Can I just get a
house coffee, medium?
(Terrence) you got it.
(Garrett) violet, hey.
What brings you here?
(violet) daisy recommended it.
I gotta say, it's great.
- Writing your memoirs?
- Oh, gosh, no.
Just rethinking my goals
now that I have a new place.
- And boyfriend.
- Daisy and I can't wait.
To meet him.
In fact, you should
bring him here.
I'm usually here
about this time.
So, uh, happy goal-setting.
(indistinct chatter)
(soft, dark music)
Ah.
Thank you, sir.
Actually, do you mind if I...
if I join you for a minute?
(soft music)
Join me for as
long as you'd like.
(sighs)
To be honest, I'm glad that I
caught you alone for a moment.
There's something that
I've been wanting.
To tell you for a
long, long time.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I broke up with you.
After I promised to
take you to the prom.
It was wrong, I
knew it was wrong,
And I...
Just need to apologize for that.
(soft, somber music)
Yeah.
I remember that day.
You and I were talking
and daisy walked past.
I saw you two looking
at each other.
That was kind of it.
(whooshing sound)
You fell in love.
I get it.
(Garrett) I can't tell
you how much it means.
To hear you say that.
Thank you.
It's really great to see you.
Yeah.
(doorbell jingles)
(door closes)
(sinister music)
No, that's not what I said.
I said be at best brew
tomorrow at 3 p.M.
Get daisy to meet you there.
But I already told her.
To meet me at the office
tomorrow afternoon.
Well, now you're
meeting at best brew,
Where you'll close the
deal on her investment.
Funny, I just
remembered something.
I don't get out of bed for
less than $5,000 a day.
You'll get your damn money.
(doorbell rings)
(daisy) Gina, hi.
I was planning to come
by the hospital today.
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah.
How's your mom doing?
Whatever you put in that
pie almost killed her.
- Gina, I'm so sorry.
- Give me a break, lady.
You've wanted my mom's
job since day one,
But you're never
going to get it.
I'm taking over for her.
You're fired.
(intense music)
I gathered your things
from the office.
Since you mainly work from home,
There wasn't much.
Don't ever contact
me or my mom again.
(traffic whirring)
(device beeps)
(soft, suspenseful music)
Can you hear me?
Perfectly.
Now make this happen.
And remember: I can hear
everything you both say.
(doorbell jingles)
- Am I late?
- No, not at all.
It's just sometimes my
husband likes to come here.
And I haven't told
him about you yet.
("Russ") oh, should
we wait for him?
Are you insane? Get started.
Or, uh, we could get
things moving right away.
(daisy) great, I
got you a coffee.
("Russ") thank you so much.
Yeah, I'm so sorry about
the change in venue.
Oh, no problem.
So, um...
You really can double our
money is less than two years?
And sometimes in
only six months.
Sometimes in only six months.
(daisy) that just
doesn't seem possible.
("Russ") it's a combination of
carefully watching the market.
And then knowing exactly
when to take the plunge.
(daisy) um, mr. Richman.
- Please, Russ.
- Russ.
You seem like an honest man,
But you can
understand my fearing.
Doing something like this.
Of course.
Um... (clears throat)
At fidelity futures,
We pride ourselves on
making sure that...
Cut the pr crap.
On making sure that
when we set goals,
We achieve them, better
than anybody else does.
(doorbell rings)
Alison.
Everything okay? I'm
on a business call.
Oh, I'll be quick.
Uh, tomorrow's the fashion show.
- Could we do the makeover...
- tomorrow morning's great.
Okay, see you then.
Oliver, just get her to say yes.
Oliver.
Oliver, finish the job.
Oliver, just do it.
Are you ready to move forward?
(laughs)
Yes.
Yes, I am.
Wrap it up, I'll
handle it from here.
("Russ") you've made
the right decision.
(daisy) thank you.
I know it can be scary
to take a jump like this,
But I promise you,
we will be taking.
(Garrett) uh, excuse me, am I
interrupting something here?
(daisy) no, no, it's just...
I was just, uh, talking with, uh
("Russ") uh,
mr. Hawkins, I presume.
Russ rich man with
fidelity futures.
Uh, would you care to join us?
(Garrett) yeah.
As a matter of fact, I would.
(soft music)
So, honey, fill me
in, what's goin' on?
(daisy) well, Russ is
a financial advisor,
And since we have to pay
for alison's education,
I thought it would be
smart to talk to him.
(Garrett) and why wasn't I told
about this meeting in advance?
Because I didn't think
you'd be receptive to it.
But now that you're here,
we can discuss it together.
("Russ") absolutely.
(Garrett) so if I
hadn't shown up,
You'd be doing this
behind my back.
(daisy) Garrett. We are
running out of time.
(Garrett) how did it go from
our money to it's your money?
(daisy) it is our money.
I'm just trying to
move things along.
- Right, without me.
- Because if I wait for you,
It will never get done.
We have to take action now.
("Russ") I... you know, I'm sure
that we can all work together.
For the benefit of Alison.
Excuse me.
This is between me and my wife.
Of course.
Yeah, we won't be
needing your services.
(daisy) yes, we will be.
I will be calling
you again soon.
The hell you will.
Okay, get out of there.
It was a pleasure meeting you.
And, um, uh, I look forward
to hearing from you, daisy.
(Garrett) what is
happening to us?
(daisy) I'm willing
to risk everything.
For our daughter's success.
You're not.
That's what's happening to us.
(woman vocalist)
give me a double, babe
I've been awake too long
been counting the breaths
of every reckless day
Since you've been gone
(mellow music)
give me some sugar, babe
these nights are
just way too strong
that black in the sky
reminds me of your eyes
Since you've been gone
Those coffee eyes
(gasps)
Did you have a nice night
at the Hawkins' house?
Or should I say their driveway?
What the hell are
you doing here?
Well, I did a little sleuthing,
And it turns out you
got a cool million.
From your divorce.
Your point?
I'll be needing
a lot more money.
The next time you
need me to do a job.
Well, that's the thing, Oliver.
I don't need you to
do any more jobs.
(soft, tense music)
Well, that's where you're wrong.
I mean, you wouldn't
want anyone to find out.
About what you've been
up to now, would you?
Eh, eh, eh.
Still hung up on
your high school boy.
Let me guess.
The plan is you get
daisy to invest.
And she loses everything.
So then he divorces her
and then you swoop in.
Am I right?
Get out.
(Oliver) happy to, yeah.
For 100k.
You must be joking.
100k, cash.
Two days.
Otherwise your nice,
nice neighbors.
Are gonna find out how
ugly you really are.
Two days.
(door opens, slams)
You won't live that long.
(soft music)
Hi. Ready for the new you?
Come on in.
Are you thirsty?
(Alison) oh, gosh,
is that Pietro?
Yes.
(Alison) okay, truth.
Is he really this
handsome in person?
More, if you can believe it.
Is there any chance he'll be
at the show with you tonight?
Unfortunately, he's still
in new york on business.
But you'll be there.
I wouldn't miss it.
All right, make yourself comfy.
(Alison) mm-hm.
I don't know about this.
There's not much to work with.
(violet) oh, come on.
All I'm going to do is bring
out your natural beauty.
(water running)
(Garrett sighs)
(Garrett) I'm sorry
about yesterday.
(daisy) no, I'm sorry.
That was wrong.
I should have told
you about it first.
(daisy sighs)
(soft music)
I lost my job yesterday.
(Garrett) what?
(daisy) Gina,
claudia's daughter,
She accused me of
trying to kill Claudia.
- What?
- I know.
So no promotion and now no job.
(Garrett) when were
you gonna tell me?
I don't know.
I was trying to
find the right time.
(Garrett) and when
was that gonna be?
(daisy) see? This is why
I can't say anything.
You get upset so fast.
(Garrett) oh, so now it's my
fault that you can't tell me.
What's going on... I mean,
first you go behind my back.
About investing our money and...
- I didn't invest.
- And now you're out of a job?
When were you gonna tell me,
When it was time
to pay our bills?
(daisy) don't turn this
around and make it about me.
You get into these moods and
I can't even say anything.
(Garrett) well, how about
this mood, all right?
We can't send Alison anywhere.
She'll be lucky to get
into community college.
At this point.
(soft, somber music)
Hey, where are you going?
To find a new job.
I'm not gonna let Alison down.
(violet) rub 'em together.
Good.
So...
Got a boyfriend at school?
I'm not really into guys.
(violet) oh.
Do your parents know?
(Alison) not yet.
I'm just a little
nervous to tell them.
(violet) look, you can
talk to me about anything.
You don't have to worry
about any judgements.
From me, okay?
Thank you.
Can I ask you a question?
(violet) fire away.
(Alison) why did
you get a divorce?
I mean, didn't your
husband love you?
(dark music)
(violet) no.
What he loved was to throw
my past back in my face.
Anyway, it's over.
And Pietro is so much better.
(laughing softly)
(soft music)
Okay, we're almost done.
- You ready to see?
- I guess.
(violet) okay.
Look.
(Alison) oh my god,
that's me? No way.
(violet) I can wipe it off.
(Alison) no, no, no, no,
I love it, I love it.
- Thank you.
- Aw.
- Thank you so much.
- You're welcome.
(Alison) I'll see
you at the show,
And I'll get started on
your dresses right away.
(violet) great.
- Bye.
- Bye.
(music darkens)
(music lightens)
(soft, tense music)
(violet) oh, hi, I was
just coming to get you.
Are you ready to go
to alison's show?
Was she at your house this
morning for a makeover?
I just gave her some supplies.
She told me a friend of hers
was going to help her at school.
(daisy) I saw her leaving
your house this morning.
She didn't have any
supplies with her.
She did have a whole new look.
I told her she needed to
clear it with you first,
But she was insistent.
Look, violet, it's obvious
that you dress better than me.
And your hair and makeup
always looks amazing.
But next time call me.
She's still my daughter.
I apologize.
How could I make it up to you?
Go to the fashion
show, save me a seat.
I have to visit
my boss, Claudia,
Well, my ex-boss,
She's still recovering.
- What?
- I lost my job over that pie.
Anyways, I need to tell Claudia.
That I'll do anything
to make it up to her.
I'll see you at
the fashion show.
(violet) okay.
(sinister music)
(engine starts)
(intense music)
(typing)
And... Transfer to
fidelity futures.
Done.
Come on, people, move!
(vehicle beeping)
Oh, what?
What now?
(soft, tense music)
(engine hissing)
- (cell phone ringing)
- crap.
(sighs)
Mom, where you?
You're not gonna believe this.
The car just broke down.
I have to call a tow.
I'll get to your show
as soon as I can.
(Alison) mom, I'm backstage,
I go on a few minutes.
Can you tell them to wait,
I don't know, maybe 15 minutes?
(violet) there she is!
(violet laughs)
Hi. I just want to warn you.
That your dad and I
are in the audience,
So don't be surprised
when we shout your name.
At the top of our lungs.
(laughing)
- Okay, um, break a leg.
- Thank you.
(dance music)
(daisy) Alison, I
have to call aaa.
I'll get to you
as soon as I can.
(woman) Alison,
you're up in five.
Mom, they just called my cue.
I've gotta get my models
out on the runway.
Bye.
(soft music)
(laughter, chatter)
(Alison) but my favorite look
was the one with the red scarf.
(violet gasps)
- Me too, that was gorgeous.
- Really?
(violet) and, like I told your
dad, you totally crushed it.
- Did not.
- Did so.
Alison Hawkins,
Best fashion designer
on the planet.
- (laughing)
- dad.
(daisy) glad you guys
are having so much fun.
(Alison) mom, how long
have you been there?
(Garrett) honey, join us. Violet
made some awesome cookies.
Come on.
I bet she did.
(Garrett) so, uh,
is the car okay?
(daisy) $750 later,
yeah, it's fine.
Alison, honey,
I am so, so sorry I didn't
make it to your show.
Please forgive me.
(Alison) mom, you could
have called an Uber.
You could have been there
if you really wanted to.
(daisy) I did really want to.
(Alison) did you? Dad was there.
Violet was there.
(soft, somber music)
(keys jangle)
Maybe she should be
your mother instead.
- What?
- Not only did she make it.
To the fashion show,
She also gave you a makeover.
And on top of it, you
lied to me about it.
- Maybe I should go.
- Yeah, maybe you should.
(Garrett) I'll see you out.
Violet knows where the door is.
I didn't mean to
lie to you, mom.
Then why did you?
(music darkens)
(Garrett sighs)
(Garrett) violet.
Um, bad night.
- Okay.
- But, uh...
- But everything's okay?
- Yeah, it will be.
Really great seeing you
and we'll do it again soon.
(soft, somber music)
(door opens)
What? What's wrong now?
(daisy) what's wrong?
Did you even ask if I was okay?
Or was it more important to
you to go hug our neighbor,
Or should I say your girlfriend?
(Garrett) oh, now
you're spying on me?
Violet was worried
she upset you.
I was just comforting
her, that's all.
Oh, is that all?
I'm glad you could be
there for her emotionally.
(intense musical flourish)
(water running)
(cell phone chimes)
(cell phone chimes)
Oh my god.
What? What is it?
(dark music)
Your deposit of $75,000
to fidelity futures.
Has been successfully completed.
What the hell is this?
(daisy) I don't have any idea.
I did not transfer that money.
Well, who did?
(daisy) I don't know.
(Garrett) well, these things
don't happen out of nowhere.
(daisy) I swear to
you I did not do this.
(Garrett) you invested with
that guy and I told you not to.
(daisy) no, this must be some
kind of terrible mistake.
I'm gonna... I'm gonna
call Russ right now.
I'm sure he can explain it.
(cell phone ringing)
(dial tone)
(automated voice) we're sorry.
You have reached a number
that has been disconnected.
- Or is no longer...
- that's not possible.
I was just at his office
a few days ago, I.
(Garrett) wait,
whoa, whoa, whoa.
So when I saw you guys
at the coffee shop,
That was the second time
that you met with him?
What else haven't
you been telling me?
What, were you sleeping
with him as well?
(daisy) what? No, of course not!
How could I believe anything
you say at this point?
Because I'm your wife.
(Garrett) look, you were set up.
The guy's a scam artist.
But I didn't sign anything.
I didn't give him
any account numbers.
How could he possibly have
transferred this money?
(Garrett) because that's
what these people do.
They target people
like you and, whoosh,
They're on the riviera
living the high life.
On our life savings.
And our daughter's college fund.
I'm gonna kill him.
Good luck finding him.
(object clatters)
(soft, tense music)
(cell phone dialing)
(Oliver) what do you want?
My place, two hours.
I'll have your money.
Don't be late.
(Oliver chuckles)
(pills clattering)
(meat tenderizer thudding)
(doorbell rings)
(soft, dark music)
(violet) I heard you
guys arguing last night.
Sounded pretty bad.
(daisy) that loud?
Need to talk?
I might.
But why would I
want to talk to you?
You gave my kid a makeover
without my permission.
You're not her mother.
I don't share this
often, but, uh,
I can't have children of my own.
(somber music)
So I go a little overboard
with other people's kids.
Forgive me?
So...
I somehow let a
smooth-talking gentleman.
Scam me out of $75,000.
(violet) no.
(daisy) remember that
money I was telling you
I was saving for
alison's education?
- Well, it's gone.
- That's not possible.
Apparently, it is.
(suspenseful music)
I feel so stupid.
If I ever find that guy,
I swear I'll kill him
with my bare hands.
I've got to get that money back.
I feel weird.
I, um, I'm gonna go to...
(groaning)
I'm gonna...
(thudding)
(dramatic music)
(knocking)
(Oliver) hello?
Don't play games, violet.
I'm not in the mood.
- Where the hell are you?
- In here!
I've got your
money on the table.
Come on in and count it.
I don't believe you.
Bring it out here
where I can see it.
(violet) I'm just
washing dishes.
So, stand there and wait, or
come get your money and go.
Suit yourself.
(tense music)
What?
Daisy?
(grunting)
(intense music)
(grunting)
(thudding)
(tense music)
(clattering)
(Alison) hello?
Mom?
The school nurse sent me home
because I wasn't feeling well!
Mom?
(intense music)
(screaming)
Mom! Mom! Mom!
Mom!
Hi, hi, yes, I need
an ambulance, please.
(camera shutter clicking)
(dramatic music)
(detective lin)
okay, ms. Hawkins,
Let's go over this again.
(daisy) I already told
you, I don't know.
How the knife got in my hand,
But I do know that
I didn't kill him.
(detective lin) okay, then
why is it that this man.
Would come to your
house if, as you claim,
He already wiped out
all your accounts?
I...
I may have told him that
I had some more money.
Squirreled away.
(Garrett) you told him
about our last $2500?
I... I didn't tell him how much.
I just mentioned it
in case we wanted.
To invest some more, that's all.
(detective lin) these
guys are greedy.
He probably came back to
get as much as he could.
(daisy) the problem is I
don't remember him being here.
I was sitting there
having coffee with violet,
My neighbor, and...
(dark music)
You...
You drugged my coffee!
(violet) I had coffee with
you, but you were so upset,
We couldn't finish
the conversation.
The last thing you
said to me was:
"If I ever find that guy,
I'll kill him with
my bare hands."
Later, I heard Alison screaming.
And I called the police.
No. No, no, no. She's lying.
She knows something, I know
(detective lin) ms.
Hawkins, control yourself.
Ma'am, did you
know the deceased?
Never saw him before in my life.
(camera shutter clicking)
(detective lin) okay, ms.
Hawkins, you're under arrest.
- What?
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
(daisy) what are
you talking about?
She's lying, baby,
I didn't kill him!
- I know.
- I swear to you,
I did not kill him,
baby, I swear, I swear.
No, no! No, it's
her. I know it's her.
You drugged my coffee!
It's her! Baby, I
didn't kill him!
(Garrett) we'll figure this out!
(detective lin) we'll test
them for any sleeping agents,
But in the meantime, you
should hire yourself.
A lawyer immediately.
(Garrett) it'll be
okay, baby, okay?
- Garrett...
- Just...
Just give us a minute.
(soft music)
We'll figure it out.
(soft piano music)
(doorbell ringing)
I figured a nice homemade meal
might ease the pain a little.
(Garrett) yeah, I, uh, I
appreciate your concern,
But in light of what daisy said,
I don't think you should
come over here anymore.
(violet) look, I know today
has been a living hell for you.
I would never do
anything to hurt daisy.
Please let me do this
for you and Alison.
(somber music)
(indistinct chatter)
I have gone through that day
a million times in my head.
(dark music)
Maybe in the heat of the moment
I did say I wanted
to kill that man.
For stealing all of our money,
But you know I wouldn't do that.
Honey?
You do know that, right?
Of course.
The problem is the
evidence is piling up.
You did meet the
guy, he scammed us.
He came over, there was,
(daisy) but I didn't...
I didn't kill him.
The knife was...
The knife was
literally in your hand.
They didn't find any
drugs in your coffee cup,
And they didn't find any
drugs in your blood either.
(buzzer)
Visiting time is over.
(somber music)
(Garrett) listen, I'm
gonna do everything I can.
To get you out of here.
Okay, I'll borrow
money from my brother.
- I'll sell the house.
- Don't do that.
I'll do whatever I have to.
I love you.
(Alison) I love you too, mom.
Please don't lose hope.
(dramatic music)
The day that the police cars
were in front of my house,
Did you notice anything
strange or unusual?
Hi, sorry to bother you.
Do you mind if I record you?
Hi!
Nobody, like, in front of
it maybe, weird situation?
- No.
- No.
(man) I didn't
notice anything, no.
(Alison) okay, well, if
you remember anything,
This is the number you can call.
- Thank you.
- Sure.
- Have a great day.
- You too.
(Garrett) violet, Alison
and I really appreciate.
Everything you've done, but
this is such an imposition.
(violet) not at all.
I want to help.
Violet, it's been a month.
(violet) I'll help
as long as it takes.
(Garrett) well,
it could be years.
I've had to take on a second
job just to cover the mortgage.
(violet) let's eat.
You'll feel better.
So...
Have you thought about
what you're going to do.
For college?
(Alison) mm, community
college, part-time job.
Maybe an internship at
a local fashion house.
(violet) Alison, do not
give up on your dreams.
You have talent.
And fyi, still waiting
on those dresses.
(Alison) I'm so sorry. It's
just that with everything.
- That's happening...
- Don't worry.
I'm not going anywhere.
(Garrett) oh. I have to go.
- So soon?
- Yeah, I got to go to work.
(violet) okay, I'll wrap
it up for you for later.
(Garrett) great.
(soft music)
(door opening)
(door closing)
(Alison) like my dad said,
we really appreciate you.
Making these great meals for us.
Oh, totally my pleasure.
(Alison) but no matter what
might have happened here,
My dad still loves my mom.
(dark music)
I know that.
I've already got my guy.
(Alison) yeah, I'm
sorry. I'm so sorry.
I just feel a little
protective over him right now.
Of course you do.
I understand.
(suspenseful music)
(Alison) oh my gosh,
is that Pietro?
Dad! Dad!
Violet doesn't actually have
a boyfriend named Pietro.
She downloaded some guy's
photos off the internet.
- And framed them.
- So she's got.
An imaginary boyfriend.
What do you want
me to do about it?
- 3:00 in the morning.
- Uh, doesn't it bother you.
That she's been lying
to us this whole time?
Not to mention being.
A little too handsy
with you lately?
(Garrett) honey,
I've got a shift.
That starts in an hour, okay?
You should be in bed.
(Garrett sighs)
(Alison) you still haven't
answered my question.
(Garrett) honey, I'm juggling
three jobs right now.
I have to make my lunch.
I'm way too tired to notice
anything about violet.
Except for the great meals
that she's been making us.
(Alison) which is
exactly my point.
I think mom was right.
Violet did put
drugs in her coffee.
She's wanted mom out of
the way this entire time.
I've been watching her,
she's totally into you.
(Garrett) Allie, you're
not making any sense.
(Alison) I'm making
perfect sense!
She gets a divorce, she
invents some boy toy.
To distract all of us,
And at the first
opportunity she hits on you.
(Garrett) come on,
she's not hitting on me.
(Alison) yes, she is.
She absolutely is.
(suspenseful music)
I bet her ex knows something.
We have to talk to him.
Give me his number,
I'll call him right now.
"hey, you don't know me,
but could you tell me.
Why you and violet
got a divorce?"
(Alison) I would
have to ask violet.
What her ex-husband's name is.
And that would be weird, right?
(Garrett) yeah, it'd
be a little weird.
Honey, I'll do anything
to get your mom.
Out of that place, but
what you're saying.
Has no connection
to the dead guy.
And the bloody knife
found in mom's hand.
If you'll do anything
to get mom out of there,
Then you'll help me find
violet's ex-husband.
(birds chirping)
(car door closing)
(intense music)
(camera shutter clicking)
Ma'am, did you
know the deceased?
Never saw him before in my life.
(car door closing)
My phone.
Mr. Benson?
You're violet's
ex-husband, right?
I need to talk to you.
I don't need to talk to you.
(Alison) I'm Garrett
Hawkins' daughter.
- I think you know who he is.
- I don't!
And if you don't
get off my property,
- I'm gonna call the police.
- Please, sir.
My mom is in jail
for killing a man,
But I'm convinced violet
did it and framed my mom.
So that she could have
my dad to herself.
- What?
- This guy pretended.
To be an investor.
He cheated my mom
out of all her money,
Well, my parents' money.
Next thing we know, he's dead.
And my mom is accused
of murdering him.
No. I'm not getting
involved in any of this.
(Alison) violet told the police
she's never seen this guy.
In her life, but I found this
business card in her house.
Which is right
next door to ours.
(dramatic music)
Please, if you know
anything at all, help me!
My mom is innocent!
I will break every damn
window in your house.
Unless you talk to me!
(sighing)
Come in.
(dark music)
That guy is a con artist.
He tried to scam
me and violet, too.
He was slick, really slick.
His name isn't Russ rich man.
It's Oliver Matthews.
But then why would she have
his business card in her house?
(violet) Oliver, just
get her to say yes.
Oliver!
Oliver, finish the job.
Oliver! Just do it!
(Alison) violet hired
Oliver to scam my mom.
(mason) she might have, but that
doesn't mean she killed him.
(Alison) she wanted my
dad and she'd do anything.
To get him, wouldn't she?
(soft piano music)
Did she ever love you?
I was never lucky with women.
But violet, she...
she was so beautiful.
When I asked her to
marry me, she said yes.
In the beginning, I
thought she loved me.
Truth is, she was
only pretending to.
She was obsessed
with your father.
Ever since high school.
I thought I could change that.
I was wrong.
When I finally confronted
her about it...
You're doing it again.
(dramatic music)
She tried to kill me.
And all I remember
is her telling me...
I hate you!
I've always hated you!
(mason) get your
stuff and get out.
(violet) mason!
- You don't mean it.
- Get out!
She tried to kill you?
Did you call the police?
(mason) I kept hoping
she'd come back to me.
But after today, I don't
think that's gonna happen.
Mr. Benson, thank you.
I really have to talk
to my dad right now.
Oh, and fyi,
You can do a lot
better than violet.
(somber music)
(tapping of computer keys)
- What's all this?
- You've been working.
Way too hard.
Time to start thinking
about your future.
(dark music)
Our future.
I think we need to talk.
(violet) have I
been a naughty girl?
(Garrett) violet, I don't
think that this is, uh...
(violet) don't
think this is what?
(Garrett) look, you're
a beautiful woman.
- Am I?
- But I'm still married.
(violet) that doesn't
matter anymore.
Daisy is never
coming home again.
(Garrett) look...
I know that I did something
to hurt you very badly,
But that was a
long, long time ago.
Besides, you have
Pietro now, right?
And I'm still very much
in love with daisy.
(violet) no.
You love me.
You've always loved me.
And now we can pick
up where we left off.
(tense music)
(cellphone ringing)
(Garrett) it's Allie.
Hey, sweetie, is
everything okay?
(Alison) no, it's not.
I tracked down
violet's ex-husband.
(Garrett) that's,
uh, that's great.
Oh my god, she's
there, isn't she?
Dad, listen, her ex told me.
That violet was
obsessed with you.
When he confronted her about it,
She tried to kill him.
Violet moved into the house
next door to be near you.
That's excellent news,
I'm glad to hear it.
(Alison) oh, and that Russ guy?
His real name is Oliver
Matthews, a con artist.
I overheard violet
talking to Oliver,
And I didn't know who he was
at the time, but I do now.
Violet hired Oliver to scam mom,
And then she lied
to the detective.
Dad, violet framed
mom for the murder.
We have to go to the
police as soon as possible.
(Garrett) okay,
sweetie, I gotta go.
(Alison) dad, don't hang up!
(violet) everything good?
(ominous music)
(Garrett) you killed that guy.
You made it look like
daisy did it, didn't you?
(violet) what? Of
course I didn't.
Alison tracked down your ex.
Told her the whole story
about Oliver Matthews,
About your obsession with me.
Get dressed.
(violet) he only told you
his side of the story.
- What about mine?
- I said, "get dressed.
And get out!"
I only married mason because
he had lots of money,
But he couldn't give me
what I really wanted.
You.
I was living a lie for years,
But I just couldn't
do it anymore.
I had to be with you.
Now that I have you, I'm
never letting go again.
(tense music)
(Garrett) I'm
calling the police.
(violet) ah!
(Garrett) you're going
away for a long time.
(dramatic music)
(phone beeping)
(tense music)
(violet) ah! You
monster, I loved you!
I loved you my entire life!
But not anymore.
You're nothing to me now!
(dramatic music)
Get up, you bastard.
(heavy breathing)
Garrett? Baby?
Oh, god, baby, no.
No, Garrett, wake up!
Wake up!
(tense music)
Dad?
(door closing)
- I killed him.
- You what?
(violet) it was an
accident, I didn't mean to.
(Alison) dad? What did you do?
What did you do?
Dad, wake up! Wake up!
Dad, please, please, please.
Help! Somebody, help me!
Help!
(intense music)
(violet) oh, you want
to do this? Okay.
(grunting)
(violet) ah!
(gasping, harsh clanking)
(violet groaning)
(panting)
(dramatic music)
(tense music)
(grunting, screaming)
(intense music)
(coughing)
(heavy breathing)
(groaning)
(gasping)
(grunting)
(violet) no!
(Garrett) what the
hell are you doing?
(violet) kiss me.
(Alison) hey!
(grunting, harsh clanking)
(dramatic music)
(somber music)
(Garrett) you okay?
(soft music)
(Alison) "madame and monsieur
of the Paris fashion academy,
Due to a series of
horrific events.
That happened to my family,
I was unable to meet deadlines.
For further submissions.
I realize this
may be impossible,
But I humbly ask that
you please reconsider me.
As a student for
the upcoming term.
Attending your school has
been a lifelong dream.
"Sincerely yours,
Alison Hawkins."
"dear ms. Hawkins,
After carefully reviewing
your circumstances,
We have decided to reward
you with a full scholarship.
To attend the institute."
I'm so proud of you.
(soft piano music)
(indistinct chatter)
(somber piano music)
(buzzer)
Garrett.
Garrett.
You and me.
Forever.
Forever.
(dark music)
(somber music)
(tense music)
(suspenseful music)
Garrett.
You and me.
Forever.
(sighs)
(man) honey!
You almost ready to go?
I'll meet you in the car!
(mournful music)
You're doing it again.
I need a few more minutes.
(mason) tonight is our
15th wedding anniversary.
I got reservations at
your favorite restaurant!
Do you know how hard it is
to get a table at that place?
I need a few more minutes.
(tense music)
(mason) your happiness
is my only concern.
But you promised not to look
at those photos anymore.
Tonight's supposed
to be about us!
Let's put that photo
away and let's go.
Let's put it in the box.
Come on, honey, I'll help you.
(thwack, gasp)
(violet) don't you
ever touch his photo!
This has gone on long enough.
(she gasps)
- (she grunts)
- let go of it!
Let...
- No!
- Let go of it.
No!
(he gasps, grunts)
(dark music)
(struggling)
I hate you!
(choking)
I've always hated you!
(struggling)
(soft music)
(birds chirping)
(fanciful music)
(text notification chimes)
Oh my god.
Oh, come on,
- You're just saying that.
- No, daisy, honestly.
You're the only editor I know
who's never missed a deadline.
Well, I guess I'm
one of those weirdos.
Who just loves to turn
things in on time.
Speaking of which,
I gotta get back to these pages.
- You'll have 'em by tomorrow.
- Great.
Because I have another
three assignments.
That need your
immediate attention.
Whoa, Claudia?
I can barely keep up with
the workload I've got!
(Claudia) and yet,
you somehow manage.
To turn it all in
without missing a beat.
See? You're the best.
(Garrett) I agree.
She's the best.
- Mwah!
- You silly.
Okay, I gotta go.
- I'll talk to you soon.
- Bye!
(Alison) mom, dad...
I got a text.
I made the list!
- What?!
- What list?
(daisy) the list!
The short list for the
Paris academy of design!
The fashion school!
Alison is on it!
Our baby made the list!
Oh, I'm so proud!
(Alison) dad?
That's fantastic news!
(Alison) okay. Let's
celebrate after school.
- Love you!
- Congrats, baby!
(soft music)
(door slams)
What?
Honey, you know I
want this for Alison.
But that Paris school
is super expensive.
She can get a great education.
- Right here in town.
- Are you serious?
We both have been
saving for this.
This is her dream.
We told her we would.
- Help her with this.
- If our finances were in order.
Right? But they're not.
We don't have enough.
And we don't make enough
to send her to Paris.
For four years.
Alison is gonna have
all the opportunities.
That I never had.
Don't fight me on this.
Because you're not gonna win.
(insects chirring)
(tense music)
(he clears his throat)
(breathing heavily)
(car door slams)
Violet?
I'm sorry; Do we
know each other?
Yeah, I think we went
to high school together.
- Garrett?
- (laughs)
Garrett... Hawkins?
Oh my god, what... what
are you doing around here?
I live right there!
- Get out! You do not!
- I do!
So, uh, you bought this place?
Yeah.
Great price and
a great location,
So, yeah, I did.
Actually, today is my
first official day here.
(Garrett) mm. So that would
explain the moving trucks.
That were here yesterday. Great.
Well, welcome to
the neighborhood.
(he laughs)
You have to say hello to daisy.
Hey, honey!
Remember violet
from high school?
She just bought this place.
(he laughs)
(dark music)
- Violet!
- Daisy!
Uh... You haven't changed
a bit in the last 20 years.
(violet) when was the last
time you had your eyes checked?
(uneasy laugh)
Wait, wait, didn't
you two used to date.
- Back in senior year?
- Uh... Yeah, for a...
For a hot minute.
- Maybe, like, a couple weeks.
- More like one.
(chuckling)
So, are you guys married?
Eighteen years and counting.
(Garrett) daisy's a book editor.
And I'm a creative
director for an ad agency,
- And Alison is our...
- Is our perfect
17-year-old daughter.
So! Are you and your...
Husband gonna be living here?
(violet) I just got
divorced last year.
But I've been seeing
this amazing guy.
Hang on, lemme show you.
His name is Pietro.
He's Italian.
(daisy) oh, okay!
(uneasy laughter)
Things are going
super well right now.
(daisy) listen, I'm not
the world's greatest chef,
But why don't you come
over for dinner tonight?
Six o'clock? And bring
your guy with you.
Thank you!
Actually, he's in London
right now on business.
But I'd still love to come.
(daisy) of course!
- We'll see you later tonight.
- Okay.
- All right. Small world.
- Yeah.
(violet) hold on!
I have got to capture
this momentous occasion.
It's crazy, right?
What are the chances
of us being neighbors?
(daisy) I-I'm not
wearing any makeup
(violet) oh, who cares?
You look great. Come on.
Garrett, stand in the middle,
Flanked by us two
gorgeous women.
Ready?
One, two, three!
(phone's camera snaps)
Okay, then!
See you tonight, then.
- Should I bring anything?
- Just yourself.
- All right.
- All right!
(daisy sighs, laughs)
(indistinct chatter)
(dark music)
(door slams)
Eighteen years and counting.
(grunting)
Eighteen years together!
(screams, breathes heavily)
(beeping)
Perfect.
(chopping)
- I just don't get it.
- Get what?
(daisy) I don't get why you and
violet only dated for two weeks.
I mean, the woman
is a rock star.
She's a total knockout.
(Garrett) so?
You're a knockout.
- And a brilliant woman.
- Mm.
(Garrett) and that is sexy.
(soft music)
(Alison) guys...
Get a room!
(doorbell chimes)
(daisy) oh my god, it's violet!
I haven't even
finished everything!
(Garrett) relax, it's casual.
I didn't even brush my hair!
I probably look like a mess!
(eerie music)
(violet) I hope you don't
mind, I brought a homemade pie.
You just moved in
and you had time.
To bake a pie for us?
And if you invite me in,
We can all enjoy it together.
Right. I'm sorry.
Where's my head?
Yes, please come in.
(Alison) oh my god,
that's your boyfriend?
- Is he a model?
- I know, right?
Everyone thinks so, but no.
Pietro's an entrepreneur.
New media, super successful.
Biggest in London and new york.
(Garrett) nice. Do
you work with him?
No.
Since my divorce, I'm
back to doing what I love.
Landscaping, web design,
the occasional makeover.
Wait, you do makeovers?
Can you give me one?
Alison, you do not
need a makeover, honey!
You're perfect the way you are.
(Alison) mom, the fashion
show is coming up.
And I want to look my best.
I don't know anything
about makeup.
And you never have
time to show me.
(violet) ooh, a fashion
show! Fill me in.
It's at my school.
Me and some of the kids from
my fashion design class.
Get to show off our work.
(violet) that's fantastic.
Show her your designs.
- Aww, mom...
- Come on, go get 'em.
Okay.
(laughing)
She's so talented.
You know, she's short-listed
for the fashion program.
At the Paris academy of design.
Oh, wow! Isn't that the
most famous fashion school.
- In the world?
- Yeah, and most expensive.
We've barely managed to
scrape together enough.
To pay for her first year.
One, I'm up for a big promotion,
And two, I will take an
extra job if I have to.
Alison is going to Paris.
(Alison) okay, so I don't really
know what I'm doing, but...
(daisy) yes you do.
- There.
- Wow.
These are great!
- That's my favorite.
- Ooh, yeah,
Especially this one.
Whip up a few sketches.
Of what I might look
like in that dress.
I'll choose one, you'll make it,
I'll pay you.
(Alison) wait, what?
You would? Really?
(violet) only if it's okay
with your mom and dad.
(Garrett) I think
it's a great idea.
(eerie music)
I do too.
(violet) and...
I'd like to go to the
fashion show as well.
- Are you sure?
- Absolutely.
(billiard balls clacking.
(Alison) oh my god.
This is literally so good.
(Garrett) best pie I've
ever eaten, bar none.
- No offense, honey.
- None taken! I agree.
It's a pity my boss
Claudia isn't here.
She has such a sweet tooth.
She'd love this.
Well, why don't I teach
you how to make a pie?
One for your boss,
one for your family.
Might help you get
that promotion sooner.
Would you?
That would be great.
- I'd love to.
- Know about that!
- You totally cheated.
- You scratch on the eight ball,
- You lose, that's it.
- I did not scratch!
I sneezed! It doesn't count!
- He cheated. I saw it.
- Thank you. See?
Three against one.
(violet) thank you for welcoming
me to the neighborhood.
- Of course.
- I can't wait.
Till the fashion show!
And I'll be by in
the morning about 10.
- To help with the pies.
- Sounds good.
(violet) and, Garrett...
What a surprise.
To think we'd meet again
after all these years.
(Garrett) small world.
Okay.
- Good night, everyone.
- Good night!
- Thanks for coming over.
- I'll see you tomorrow.
(Garrett) we'll do
it again, all right?
Be careful. You
know the way home.
- Ohh...
- She's totally cool.
(Garrett) yeah. She
kind of is, isn't she?
(daisy) not to mention,
she's like the best friend
I never had.
(insects chirring)
What?
What?!
Violet's got nothin' on you.
(daisy laughs)
(tender music)
(giggling)
(breathing heavily)
(female singer)
I see you with her
On the boulevard
we always went to
trying to play it cool
I sent a psycho text
or two, and suddenly,
I'm replaced by you
I see you playing cool
but I don't think
you know me well
if you don't know I'm
good at raisin' hell
Daisy.
Your boss is going
to love the pie.
(ominous music)
(eerie music)
(sighs)
(female singer) jack of all
trades but a master of none
spitting out words
like a date rape drug
he's a serpent with
a halo in disguise
oh, manipulate the mouth
until they see what you do
try to take it back so
they don't turn on you
are you tired of being
fake all the damned time
oh, preacher man,
who you talking to
preacher man, what
you trying to prove
selling us a scam,
With every lie,
you make it true
we know that you
are not divine
no, you are not
the preacher man
Preacher man, who
you talking to
selling us a scam,
With every lie,
you make it true
we know that you
are not divine
no, you are not
the preacher man
Jack, come on, you can't
suddenly cut my hours.
(jack) yeah, I can.
But I'm the best guy you have!
You told me so yourself.
(jack) I did. But I'm
still cutting hours.
I brought in a ton of work
to the company last year.
(jack) Garrett, can
you hear yourself?
That was last year.
Things have changed.
I'll bring in new clients, okay?
- We'll be fine.
- Well, right now, we aren't,
So it's less hours or nothing.
Are you threatening to fire me?
(jack) I'm telling
you how it is.
But don't push me,
because I just might.
(typing)
- (sighs)
- (doorbell chimes)
Violet!
Ready to bake some pie?
Just about. I have
one more page to edit.
Come through the office,
hang out for a sec.
- Let me help you.
- Thank you.
(daisy) okay, I am almost done.
(violet) love what you've
done with your office.
- His-and-her desks.
- Thank you. Garrett designed it.
Nice, right?
(ominous music)
Okay. Now.
I'm not really a baker,
So I'm just gonna take notes.
And follow everything
you tell me.
Great.
Okay, I basically brought
everything except.
Utensils and mixing
bowls, which you have.
(daisy) sure. I might have
to dust them off, but yes.
(violet) oops. I left one
of my bags in your office.
I'll just run back and grab it.
(daisy) okay.
Um, what should I do first?
Dust off those mixing bowls.
Where did I put them?
(violet) and there you go.
In about an hour, you'll
have a pie for your boss.
And one for your family.
(daisy) thank you.
Look, I'm sure you have
plenty of things to do, but...
Do you maybe wanna
stay for coffee.
And catch up on
the last 20 years?
I'd love to.
Ooh, this coffee's got a kick!
(daisy) we love it.
It's from this coffee shop on
the corner of 1st and main.
Called best brew.
Garrett goes there
in the afternoon.
To see clients or take a break.
Sometimes, I join him.
I'll have to check it out.
Okay. I've been dying to ask.
Remember a guy,
Junior year football
captain, Kurt, um... Kurt.
- Delarosa?
- Yes, that's it!
Didn't he look
juicy in his jersey?
Mm, I just wanted
to rip it off him.
And do it in the corner.
Violet!
Admit it! You did too.
Oh, the thought may
have crossed my mind.
About a hundred times a day.
Guys like that never
looked at me twice.
Garrett looked at you.
- Yeah.
- More than twice.
I still don't know why.
Come on. You were valedictorian,
Straight a's four
years in a row,
Voted most likely to succeed.
- Should I continue?
- Oh, wow.
You remember all that?
Okay, I guess it
counted for something.
- And yes, delarosa was a hunk.
- Right?
Ugh, okay.
Who else did you
date in high school?
Dish.
I didn't.
Garrett's the only man
I've ever been with.
Come on. Really?
I don't believe you.
(daisy) look, I know you
don't understand, but...
Look at you, violet.
Guys would climb
over a spiked fence.
To get within ten feet of you.
(violet) and yet, I ended
up with lots of losers.
Especially my ex.
Pietro doesn't
look like a loser.
(violet) oh, girl, I swear.
All he has to do is look at me.
And the buttons on
my blouse pop off.
(giggling)
This is embarrassing
to ask, but...
I still don't understand.
Why did you and
Garrett break up?
(tense music)
(violet) I never
broke up with him.
You showed up and
ruined everything!
(screams)
(exclaims)
It was so long ago,
who can remember?
The important thing is
that we've both found.
Someone we really love.
Mm! Let's get that pie
ready for your boss.
I'll need a pair of scissors,
though, maybe from your office?
Oh! Uh, yeah, okay, lemme check.
(suspenseful music)
Found it!
Okay. Now what?
(violet) you wanna put
the pie in the box for me.
Okay, now, let me pull
this beautiful ribbon.
- Scissors.
- Ahh!
- Wow.
- There you have it.
- Thank you.
- Anytime.
(grunting)
(rattling)
(door squeaks)
- Violet Benson.
- (she gasps)
What the hell are
you doing here?
(violet) somebody forgot
to lock his front gate,
Which, by the looks
of this neighborhood,
Not too smart.
- How've you been?
- What do you want?
I have a job for you.
Not interested.
You sure?
Seems like you need one.
Look. I do
construction work now.
May not be reliable,
But at least I won't
go to jail for it.
(violet) well, if you
didn't want to go to jail,
Then you shouldn't have
tried to run that scam.
On my ex-husband.
(Oliver) oh! Ex-husband?
What happened?
Did you get tired of
spending all of his money?
Look, Oliver.
I need somebody with
your skills, all right?
Somebody smooth.
I'm not that smooth.
- I got caught, remember?
- You fooled me.
Fooled my husband.
(scoffs)
I'm not in that
business anymore.
You're still in the
business, Oliver.
You know you are.
What... what's that for?
Down payment.
(Oliver) what do
you want me to do?
(Alison sighs)
(daisy exclaims)
Mom, face it. We suck at this.
(daisy) hey! Haven't you
ever heard the phrase
"practice makes perfect"?
- Mom?
- Uh-huh?
(Alison) I love you. Lots.
But why don't I just ask
violet for a makeover?
I mean, look at her!
It's kinda hard not to.
She probably sleeps
in all that makeup.
In case she has to
jump on a zoom meeting.
In the middle of the night.
But then, isn't she a
good choice to help me?
I wanna look my best
for the fashion show.
Why don't I just ask her?
Because she doesn't know
what's right for you.
I do. And this is not it.
- Okay, we're gonna start over.
- Mom, this isn't working.
I have to go to violet's.
I finished the sketches.
And then I'm off to the library.
Bye.
(soft music)
(violet) cute.
I'll take all of them.
- What?
- One day,
I won't be able to afford them,
So I should get them now, right?
How 'bout this?
I make you the dresses,
You give me a makeover.
I have a better idea.
That's for the material
to make the dresses,
And I'll give you
a makeover, gratis.
But, probably, your mom
won't approve, right?
Totally she won't.
Just say one of your talented
friends at school did it.
Thank you.
I'll keep you updated.
- (sighs)
- (door slams)
I'm going to make
an amazing stepmom.
(ominous music)
(daisy) you were so
distracted this morning,
You barely touched
your breakfast.
I brought you some pie.
Thought you'd better
have something to eat.
Before you leave.
(Garrett) I talked with jack.
He's, uh, cutting my hours.
Starting from today.
What?
You're the best
employee jack's got.
(Garrett) well, we lost
a few accounts, so,
Starting this week, it's gonna
be rough going for a while.
But at least we
have pie. For now.
(daisy) oh, honey, I can't
believe he's doing that to you.
You should be running
that place, not him.
Yeah, well, maybe
one day, I will.
(cell phone ringing)
This is daisy.
("Russ") hi, daisy, my
name is Russ rich man.
I work with fidelity futures.
How are you doing today?
I'm fine.
- Who is it?
- Hang on a second.
Someone from fidelity futures?
(Garrett) hang up, immediately.
We don't need any
financial advice.
We're trying to get
Alison to Paris,
So, actually, we do.
Hang up.
(soft, tense music)
Look, I'm sorry, okay?
It's not you, it's just.
- Everything else.
- I get it.
- I'll see you later.
- Have a good day.
(cell phone ringing)
Look, I don't know how
you got this number,
- But you need to stop.
- (Oliver) mrs. Hawkins,
My name is Russ rich man
with fidelity futures.
May I ask you a few questions
about your financial goals?
Mr. Richman, I am
not interested.
Are you looking to invest
in a vacation home?
- No.
- Traveling abroad?
(daisy) I really don't
have time for this.
(Oliver) how about saving up
for your child's education?
- I'm listening.
- Are you near your computer?
I just want you to take
a look at our company.
And see what we're all about
and how we can benefit you.
(daisy) yes. Hang on.
(Oliver) the thing is,
the job market is in flux,
And people don't have
the money that they need.
To achieve their dreams.
And... What can you do for me?
(Oliver) well, I'm the
head financial adviser.
Here at fidelity,
And I can proudly say
that we can double.
Our investors' funds in
as little as six months.
- No one can do that.
- We can.
(daisy) okay, convince me.
Absolutely.
How about a preliminary
meeting at our offices?
Say... Tomorrow? At 1 p.M.?
The address and directions
are on our website.
(daisy) okay, but I would like
to meet with you privately.
First to discuss it,
And before getting
my husband involved.
(Oliver) of course.
And thank you, mrs. Hawkins.
We'll see you tomorrow.
Okay, so, what, there's
really an office.
At the address on the website?
Ten minutes from
here. I rented it.
You rented an office for this?
(indistinct chatter)
(woman vocalist)
talkin' to your mother,
Try to tell her
that you love her
but can't tell her
that you love her
'cause she'll (inaudible)
(Claudia) daisy.
(daisy) oh, please tell me
you haven't been waiting long.
(Claudia) nope, right on
time. I have good news.
- What?
- You got the promotion.
- Agh!
- You're the senior book editor.
- Congrats!
- Oh, god, you made my day.
- Thank you.
- Don't thank me, you earned it.
(daisy) well, I have
a surprise for you.
I made this under the
mentors hip of someone.
Who actually knows what
they're doing, I promise.
- I hope you love it.
- Ooh, this does look good.
You think they'll mind
if we eat this here?
(daisy) if they
do, we don't care.
Come on.
(machine whirring)
(Claudia) mm, oh, so good.
You sure you won't join me?
(daisy) nope. We
had ours already.
- Mm.
- I made this one just for you.
I promised my daughter, Gina,
I'd start a new diet today,
But to hell with that.
(laughing)
(Claudia) you know, daisy,
You've been such an
asset to the company.
I really like working with you.
(daisy) ditto.
(indistinct chatter)
(Claudia) mm.
(grim music)
(daisy) what? What's wrong?
I... I just need to
use the restroom.
(daisy) oh! Okay,
let me help you.
(Claudia) please
don't. Honestly.
- I'm fine.
- I don't think so.
- We're so sorry.
- I'm okay,
I just had yogurt and
melon for breakfast.
- Serves me right.
- Okay, I'm calling 911.
Honestly, I just
need to go home.
Yes, hi, um, I
need an ambulance.
I'm at best brew on main.
I'm fine. I just need to rest.
15 minutes.
No, I can get her
there faster myself.
We are going to
the emergency room.
Just take me home. Gina
will pick up my car later.
(daisy) no, we are
going to the er.
(intense music)
(door closes)
Violet.
What the hell did
you put in that pie?
Claudia is in the hospital
because she ate your pie.
(violet) whoa, calm down.
All I did was show
you how to make it.
Didn't you guys
eat the other one?
- Yeah.
- Did any of you get sick?
- No.
- Is it possible.
That Claudia was allergic
to one of the ingredients?
(soft, pensive music)
Oh my god...
I'm an idiot. Of course.
She must have been
allergic to something.
Forget I was ever here.
I'm so sorry.
(sighs)
Not as sorry as you're gonna be.
(sinister music)
(soft, tense music)
("Russ") you must be daisy.
(daisy) hi, mr. Richman?
("Russ") please, call me Russ.
(daisy) where is everybody?
Are they at lunch?
Oh, uh, actually they're
on a team-building retreat.
In napa valley.
(daisy) oh, well, why
aren't you with them?
("Russ") well, two reasons.
A, I've already been through
marine corps boot camp.
(daisy laughs)
And b, someone's gotta
keep the fires burning.
(daisy laughs)
Come on in.
Did you get a chance
to look at our website?
(daisy) I did. Very impressive.
("Russ") oh, thank you, daisy.
We strive for excellence here.
So let's talk investments.
What's the goal here?
(daisy) my daughter
got accepted.
Into a very exclusive fashion
design school in Paris.
- Oh.
- But tuition, living expenses,
They're astronomical.
But I'm determined
the provide her.
With this opportunity.
Well, I am already extremely
impressed with you.
And your willingness
to make things happen.
(soft music)
(laughing softly)
Uh, so, how much were
you thinking to invest?
We've saved $75,000.
And we've got a little bit more
tucked away for emergencies,
- Which this is one.
- It is.
So your husband is on board.
(daisy) um... He will be.
Um...
We both really want
this for Alison.
(grim music)
She's the center of our world.
Of course she is.
So, um, how 'bout I show you
some of the plans we have?
(indistinct chatter)
(doorbell jingles)
(Garrett) hey, Terrence.
Can I just get a
house coffee, medium?
(Terrence) you got it.
(Garrett) violet, hey.
What brings you here?
(violet) daisy recommended it.
I gotta say, it's great.
- Writing your memoirs?
- Oh, gosh, no.
Just rethinking my goals
now that I have a new place.
- And boyfriend.
- Daisy and I can't wait.
To meet him.
In fact, you should
bring him here.
I'm usually here
about this time.
So, uh, happy goal-setting.
(indistinct chatter)
(soft, dark music)
Ah.
Thank you, sir.
Actually, do you mind if I...
if I join you for a minute?
(soft music)
Join me for as
long as you'd like.
(sighs)
To be honest, I'm glad that I
caught you alone for a moment.
There's something that
I've been wanting.
To tell you for a
long, long time.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I broke up with you.
After I promised to
take you to the prom.
It was wrong, I
knew it was wrong,
And I...
Just need to apologize for that.
(soft, somber music)
Yeah.
I remember that day.
You and I were talking
and daisy walked past.
I saw you two looking
at each other.
That was kind of it.
(whooshing sound)
You fell in love.
I get it.
(Garrett) I can't tell
you how much it means.
To hear you say that.
Thank you.
It's really great to see you.
Yeah.
(doorbell jingles)
(door closes)
(sinister music)
No, that's not what I said.
I said be at best brew
tomorrow at 3 p.M.
Get daisy to meet you there.
But I already told her.
To meet me at the office
tomorrow afternoon.
Well, now you're
meeting at best brew,
Where you'll close the
deal on her investment.
Funny, I just
remembered something.
I don't get out of bed for
less than $5,000 a day.
You'll get your damn money.
(doorbell rings)
(daisy) Gina, hi.
I was planning to come
by the hospital today.
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah.
How's your mom doing?
Whatever you put in that
pie almost killed her.
- Gina, I'm so sorry.
- Give me a break, lady.
You've wanted my mom's
job since day one,
But you're never
going to get it.
I'm taking over for her.
You're fired.
(intense music)
I gathered your things
from the office.
Since you mainly work from home,
There wasn't much.
Don't ever contact
me or my mom again.
(traffic whirring)
(device beeps)
(soft, suspenseful music)
Can you hear me?
Perfectly.
Now make this happen.
And remember: I can hear
everything you both say.
(doorbell jingles)
- Am I late?
- No, not at all.
It's just sometimes my
husband likes to come here.
And I haven't told
him about you yet.
("Russ") oh, should
we wait for him?
Are you insane? Get started.
Or, uh, we could get
things moving right away.
(daisy) great, I
got you a coffee.
("Russ") thank you so much.
Yeah, I'm so sorry about
the change in venue.
Oh, no problem.
So, um...
You really can double our
money is less than two years?
And sometimes in
only six months.
Sometimes in only six months.
(daisy) that just
doesn't seem possible.
("Russ") it's a combination of
carefully watching the market.
And then knowing exactly
when to take the plunge.
(daisy) um, mr. Richman.
- Please, Russ.
- Russ.
You seem like an honest man,
But you can
understand my fearing.
Doing something like this.
Of course.
Um... (clears throat)
At fidelity futures,
We pride ourselves on
making sure that...
Cut the pr crap.
On making sure that
when we set goals,
We achieve them, better
than anybody else does.
(doorbell rings)
Alison.
Everything okay? I'm
on a business call.
Oh, I'll be quick.
Uh, tomorrow's the fashion show.
- Could we do the makeover...
- tomorrow morning's great.
Okay, see you then.
Oliver, just get her to say yes.
Oliver.
Oliver, finish the job.
Oliver, just do it.
Are you ready to move forward?
(laughs)
Yes.
Yes, I am.
Wrap it up, I'll
handle it from here.
("Russ") you've made
the right decision.
(daisy) thank you.
I know it can be scary
to take a jump like this,
But I promise you,
we will be taking.
(Garrett) uh, excuse me, am I
interrupting something here?
(daisy) no, no, it's just...
I was just, uh, talking with, uh
("Russ") uh,
mr. Hawkins, I presume.
Russ rich man with
fidelity futures.
Uh, would you care to join us?
(Garrett) yeah.
As a matter of fact, I would.
(soft music)
So, honey, fill me
in, what's goin' on?
(daisy) well, Russ is
a financial advisor,
And since we have to pay
for alison's education,
I thought it would be
smart to talk to him.
(Garrett) and why wasn't I told
about this meeting in advance?
Because I didn't think
you'd be receptive to it.
But now that you're here,
we can discuss it together.
("Russ") absolutely.
(Garrett) so if I
hadn't shown up,
You'd be doing this
behind my back.
(daisy) Garrett. We are
running out of time.
(Garrett) how did it go from
our money to it's your money?
(daisy) it is our money.
I'm just trying to
move things along.
- Right, without me.
- Because if I wait for you,
It will never get done.
We have to take action now.
("Russ") I... you know, I'm sure
that we can all work together.
For the benefit of Alison.
Excuse me.
This is between me and my wife.
Of course.
Yeah, we won't be
needing your services.
(daisy) yes, we will be.
I will be calling
you again soon.
The hell you will.
Okay, get out of there.
It was a pleasure meeting you.
And, um, uh, I look forward
to hearing from you, daisy.
(Garrett) what is
happening to us?
(daisy) I'm willing
to risk everything.
For our daughter's success.
You're not.
That's what's happening to us.
(woman vocalist)
give me a double, babe
I've been awake too long
been counting the breaths
of every reckless day
Since you've been gone
(mellow music)
give me some sugar, babe
these nights are
just way too strong
that black in the sky
reminds me of your eyes
Since you've been gone
Those coffee eyes
(gasps)
Did you have a nice night
at the Hawkins' house?
Or should I say their driveway?
What the hell are
you doing here?
Well, I did a little sleuthing,
And it turns out you
got a cool million.
From your divorce.
Your point?
I'll be needing
a lot more money.
The next time you
need me to do a job.
Well, that's the thing, Oliver.
I don't need you to
do any more jobs.
(soft, tense music)
Well, that's where you're wrong.
I mean, you wouldn't
want anyone to find out.
About what you've been
up to now, would you?
Eh, eh, eh.
Still hung up on
your high school boy.
Let me guess.
The plan is you get
daisy to invest.
And she loses everything.
So then he divorces her
and then you swoop in.
Am I right?
Get out.
(Oliver) happy to, yeah.
For 100k.
You must be joking.
100k, cash.
Two days.
Otherwise your nice,
nice neighbors.
Are gonna find out how
ugly you really are.
Two days.
(door opens, slams)
You won't live that long.
(soft music)
Hi. Ready for the new you?
Come on in.
Are you thirsty?
(Alison) oh, gosh,
is that Pietro?
Yes.
(Alison) okay, truth.
Is he really this
handsome in person?
More, if you can believe it.
Is there any chance he'll be
at the show with you tonight?
Unfortunately, he's still
in new york on business.
But you'll be there.
I wouldn't miss it.
All right, make yourself comfy.
(Alison) mm-hm.
I don't know about this.
There's not much to work with.
(violet) oh, come on.
All I'm going to do is bring
out your natural beauty.
(water running)
(Garrett sighs)
(Garrett) I'm sorry
about yesterday.
(daisy) no, I'm sorry.
That was wrong.
I should have told
you about it first.
(daisy sighs)
(soft music)
I lost my job yesterday.
(Garrett) what?
(daisy) Gina,
claudia's daughter,
She accused me of
trying to kill Claudia.
- What?
- I know.
So no promotion and now no job.
(Garrett) when were
you gonna tell me?
I don't know.
I was trying to
find the right time.
(Garrett) and when
was that gonna be?
(daisy) see? This is why
I can't say anything.
You get upset so fast.
(Garrett) oh, so now it's my
fault that you can't tell me.
What's going on... I mean,
first you go behind my back.
About investing our money and...
- I didn't invest.
- And now you're out of a job?
When were you gonna tell me,
When it was time
to pay our bills?
(daisy) don't turn this
around and make it about me.
You get into these moods and
I can't even say anything.
(Garrett) well, how about
this mood, all right?
We can't send Alison anywhere.
She'll be lucky to get
into community college.
At this point.
(soft, somber music)
Hey, where are you going?
To find a new job.
I'm not gonna let Alison down.
(violet) rub 'em together.
Good.
So...
Got a boyfriend at school?
I'm not really into guys.
(violet) oh.
Do your parents know?
(Alison) not yet.
I'm just a little
nervous to tell them.
(violet) look, you can
talk to me about anything.
You don't have to worry
about any judgements.
From me, okay?
Thank you.
Can I ask you a question?
(violet) fire away.
(Alison) why did
you get a divorce?
I mean, didn't your
husband love you?
(dark music)
(violet) no.
What he loved was to throw
my past back in my face.
Anyway, it's over.
And Pietro is so much better.
(laughing softly)
(soft music)
Okay, we're almost done.
- You ready to see?
- I guess.
(violet) okay.
Look.
(Alison) oh my god,
that's me? No way.
(violet) I can wipe it off.
(Alison) no, no, no, no,
I love it, I love it.
- Thank you.
- Aw.
- Thank you so much.
- You're welcome.
(Alison) I'll see
you at the show,
And I'll get started on
your dresses right away.
(violet) great.
- Bye.
- Bye.
(music darkens)
(music lightens)
(soft, tense music)
(violet) oh, hi, I was
just coming to get you.
Are you ready to go
to alison's show?
Was she at your house this
morning for a makeover?
I just gave her some supplies.
She told me a friend of hers
was going to help her at school.
(daisy) I saw her leaving
your house this morning.
She didn't have any
supplies with her.
She did have a whole new look.
I told her she needed to
clear it with you first,
But she was insistent.
Look, violet, it's obvious
that you dress better than me.
And your hair and makeup
always looks amazing.
But next time call me.
She's still my daughter.
I apologize.
How could I make it up to you?
Go to the fashion
show, save me a seat.
I have to visit
my boss, Claudia,
Well, my ex-boss,
She's still recovering.
- What?
- I lost my job over that pie.
Anyways, I need to tell Claudia.
That I'll do anything
to make it up to her.
I'll see you at
the fashion show.
(violet) okay.
(sinister music)
(engine starts)
(intense music)
(typing)
And... Transfer to
fidelity futures.
Done.
Come on, people, move!
(vehicle beeping)
Oh, what?
What now?
(soft, tense music)
(engine hissing)
- (cell phone ringing)
- crap.
(sighs)
Mom, where you?
You're not gonna believe this.
The car just broke down.
I have to call a tow.
I'll get to your show
as soon as I can.
(Alison) mom, I'm backstage,
I go on a few minutes.
Can you tell them to wait,
I don't know, maybe 15 minutes?
(violet) there she is!
(violet laughs)
Hi. I just want to warn you.
That your dad and I
are in the audience,
So don't be surprised
when we shout your name.
At the top of our lungs.
(laughing)
- Okay, um, break a leg.
- Thank you.
(dance music)
(daisy) Alison, I
have to call aaa.
I'll get to you
as soon as I can.
(woman) Alison,
you're up in five.
Mom, they just called my cue.
I've gotta get my models
out on the runway.
Bye.
(soft music)
(laughter, chatter)
(Alison) but my favorite look
was the one with the red scarf.
(violet gasps)
- Me too, that was gorgeous.
- Really?
(violet) and, like I told your
dad, you totally crushed it.
- Did not.
- Did so.
Alison Hawkins,
Best fashion designer
on the planet.
- (laughing)
- dad.
(daisy) glad you guys
are having so much fun.
(Alison) mom, how long
have you been there?
(Garrett) honey, join us. Violet
made some awesome cookies.
Come on.
I bet she did.
(Garrett) so, uh,
is the car okay?
(daisy) $750 later,
yeah, it's fine.
Alison, honey,
I am so, so sorry I didn't
make it to your show.
Please forgive me.
(Alison) mom, you could
have called an Uber.
You could have been there
if you really wanted to.
(daisy) I did really want to.
(Alison) did you? Dad was there.
Violet was there.
(soft, somber music)
(keys jangle)
Maybe she should be
your mother instead.
- What?
- Not only did she make it.
To the fashion show,
She also gave you a makeover.
And on top of it, you
lied to me about it.
- Maybe I should go.
- Yeah, maybe you should.
(Garrett) I'll see you out.
Violet knows where the door is.
I didn't mean to
lie to you, mom.
Then why did you?
(music darkens)
(Garrett sighs)
(Garrett) violet.
Um, bad night.
- Okay.
- But, uh...
- But everything's okay?
- Yeah, it will be.
Really great seeing you
and we'll do it again soon.
(soft, somber music)
(door opens)
What? What's wrong now?
(daisy) what's wrong?
Did you even ask if I was okay?
Or was it more important to
you to go hug our neighbor,
Or should I say your girlfriend?
(Garrett) oh, now
you're spying on me?
Violet was worried
she upset you.
I was just comforting
her, that's all.
Oh, is that all?
I'm glad you could be
there for her emotionally.
(intense musical flourish)
(water running)
(cell phone chimes)
(cell phone chimes)
Oh my god.
What? What is it?
(dark music)
Your deposit of $75,000
to fidelity futures.
Has been successfully completed.
What the hell is this?
(daisy) I don't have any idea.
I did not transfer that money.
Well, who did?
(daisy) I don't know.
(Garrett) well, these things
don't happen out of nowhere.
(daisy) I swear to
you I did not do this.
(Garrett) you invested with
that guy and I told you not to.
(daisy) no, this must be some
kind of terrible mistake.
I'm gonna... I'm gonna
call Russ right now.
I'm sure he can explain it.
(cell phone ringing)
(dial tone)
(automated voice) we're sorry.
You have reached a number
that has been disconnected.
- Or is no longer...
- that's not possible.
I was just at his office
a few days ago, I.
(Garrett) wait,
whoa, whoa, whoa.
So when I saw you guys
at the coffee shop,
That was the second time
that you met with him?
What else haven't
you been telling me?
What, were you sleeping
with him as well?
(daisy) what? No, of course not!
How could I believe anything
you say at this point?
Because I'm your wife.
(Garrett) look, you were set up.
The guy's a scam artist.
But I didn't sign anything.
I didn't give him
any account numbers.
How could he possibly have
transferred this money?
(Garrett) because that's
what these people do.
They target people
like you and, whoosh,
They're on the riviera
living the high life.
On our life savings.
And our daughter's college fund.
I'm gonna kill him.
Good luck finding him.
(object clatters)
(soft, tense music)
(cell phone dialing)
(Oliver) what do you want?
My place, two hours.
I'll have your money.
Don't be late.
(Oliver chuckles)
(pills clattering)
(meat tenderizer thudding)
(doorbell rings)
(soft, dark music)
(violet) I heard you
guys arguing last night.
Sounded pretty bad.
(daisy) that loud?
Need to talk?
I might.
But why would I
want to talk to you?
You gave my kid a makeover
without my permission.
You're not her mother.
I don't share this
often, but, uh,
I can't have children of my own.
(somber music)
So I go a little overboard
with other people's kids.
Forgive me?
So...
I somehow let a
smooth-talking gentleman.
Scam me out of $75,000.
(violet) no.
(daisy) remember that
money I was telling you
I was saving for
alison's education?
- Well, it's gone.
- That's not possible.
Apparently, it is.
(suspenseful music)
I feel so stupid.
If I ever find that guy,
I swear I'll kill him
with my bare hands.
I've got to get that money back.
I feel weird.
I, um, I'm gonna go to...
(groaning)
I'm gonna...
(thudding)
(dramatic music)
(knocking)
(Oliver) hello?
Don't play games, violet.
I'm not in the mood.
- Where the hell are you?
- In here!
I've got your
money on the table.
Come on in and count it.
I don't believe you.
Bring it out here
where I can see it.
(violet) I'm just
washing dishes.
So, stand there and wait, or
come get your money and go.
Suit yourself.
(tense music)
What?
Daisy?
(grunting)
(intense music)
(grunting)
(thudding)
(tense music)
(clattering)
(Alison) hello?
Mom?
The school nurse sent me home
because I wasn't feeling well!
Mom?
(intense music)
(screaming)
Mom! Mom! Mom!
Mom!
Hi, hi, yes, I need
an ambulance, please.
(camera shutter clicking)
(dramatic music)
(detective lin)
okay, ms. Hawkins,
Let's go over this again.
(daisy) I already told
you, I don't know.
How the knife got in my hand,
But I do know that
I didn't kill him.
(detective lin) okay, then
why is it that this man.
Would come to your
house if, as you claim,
He already wiped out
all your accounts?
I...
I may have told him that
I had some more money.
Squirreled away.
(Garrett) you told him
about our last $2500?
I... I didn't tell him how much.
I just mentioned it
in case we wanted.
To invest some more, that's all.
(detective lin) these
guys are greedy.
He probably came back to
get as much as he could.
(daisy) the problem is I
don't remember him being here.
I was sitting there
having coffee with violet,
My neighbor, and...
(dark music)
You...
You drugged my coffee!
(violet) I had coffee with
you, but you were so upset,
We couldn't finish
the conversation.
The last thing you
said to me was:
"If I ever find that guy,
I'll kill him with
my bare hands."
Later, I heard Alison screaming.
And I called the police.
No. No, no, no. She's lying.
She knows something, I know
(detective lin) ms.
Hawkins, control yourself.
Ma'am, did you
know the deceased?
Never saw him before in my life.
(camera shutter clicking)
(detective lin) okay, ms.
Hawkins, you're under arrest.
- What?
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
(daisy) what are
you talking about?
She's lying, baby,
I didn't kill him!
- I know.
- I swear to you,
I did not kill him,
baby, I swear, I swear.
No, no! No, it's
her. I know it's her.
You drugged my coffee!
It's her! Baby, I
didn't kill him!
(Garrett) we'll figure this out!
(detective lin) we'll test
them for any sleeping agents,
But in the meantime, you
should hire yourself.
A lawyer immediately.
(Garrett) it'll be
okay, baby, okay?
- Garrett...
- Just...
Just give us a minute.
(soft music)
We'll figure it out.
(soft piano music)
(doorbell ringing)
I figured a nice homemade meal
might ease the pain a little.
(Garrett) yeah, I, uh, I
appreciate your concern,
But in light of what daisy said,
I don't think you should
come over here anymore.
(violet) look, I know today
has been a living hell for you.
I would never do
anything to hurt daisy.
Please let me do this
for you and Alison.
(somber music)
(indistinct chatter)
I have gone through that day
a million times in my head.
(dark music)
Maybe in the heat of the moment
I did say I wanted
to kill that man.
For stealing all of our money,
But you know I wouldn't do that.
Honey?
You do know that, right?
Of course.
The problem is the
evidence is piling up.
You did meet the
guy, he scammed us.
He came over, there was,
(daisy) but I didn't...
I didn't kill him.
The knife was...
The knife was
literally in your hand.
They didn't find any
drugs in your coffee cup,
And they didn't find any
drugs in your blood either.
(buzzer)
Visiting time is over.
(somber music)
(Garrett) listen, I'm
gonna do everything I can.
To get you out of here.
Okay, I'll borrow
money from my brother.
- I'll sell the house.
- Don't do that.
I'll do whatever I have to.
I love you.
(Alison) I love you too, mom.
Please don't lose hope.
(dramatic music)
The day that the police cars
were in front of my house,
Did you notice anything
strange or unusual?
Hi, sorry to bother you.
Do you mind if I record you?
Hi!
Nobody, like, in front of
it maybe, weird situation?
- No.
- No.
(man) I didn't
notice anything, no.
(Alison) okay, well, if
you remember anything,
This is the number you can call.
- Thank you.
- Sure.
- Have a great day.
- You too.
(Garrett) violet, Alison
and I really appreciate.
Everything you've done, but
this is such an imposition.
(violet) not at all.
I want to help.
Violet, it's been a month.
(violet) I'll help
as long as it takes.
(Garrett) well,
it could be years.
I've had to take on a second
job just to cover the mortgage.
(violet) let's eat.
You'll feel better.
So...
Have you thought about
what you're going to do.
For college?
(Alison) mm, community
college, part-time job.
Maybe an internship at
a local fashion house.
(violet) Alison, do not
give up on your dreams.
You have talent.
And fyi, still waiting
on those dresses.
(Alison) I'm so sorry. It's
just that with everything.
- That's happening...
- Don't worry.
I'm not going anywhere.
(Garrett) oh. I have to go.
- So soon?
- Yeah, I got to go to work.
(violet) okay, I'll wrap
it up for you for later.
(Garrett) great.
(soft music)
(door opening)
(door closing)
(Alison) like my dad said,
we really appreciate you.
Making these great meals for us.
Oh, totally my pleasure.
(Alison) but no matter what
might have happened here,
My dad still loves my mom.
(dark music)
I know that.
I've already got my guy.
(Alison) yeah, I'm
sorry. I'm so sorry.
I just feel a little
protective over him right now.
Of course you do.
I understand.
(suspenseful music)
(Alison) oh my gosh,
is that Pietro?
Dad! Dad!
Violet doesn't actually have
a boyfriend named Pietro.
She downloaded some guy's
photos off the internet.
- And framed them.
- So she's got.
An imaginary boyfriend.
What do you want
me to do about it?
- 3:00 in the morning.
- Uh, doesn't it bother you.
That she's been lying
to us this whole time?
Not to mention being.
A little too handsy
with you lately?
(Garrett) honey,
I've got a shift.
That starts in an hour, okay?
You should be in bed.
(Garrett sighs)
(Alison) you still haven't
answered my question.
(Garrett) honey, I'm juggling
three jobs right now.
I have to make my lunch.
I'm way too tired to notice
anything about violet.
Except for the great meals
that she's been making us.
(Alison) which is
exactly my point.
I think mom was right.
Violet did put
drugs in her coffee.
She's wanted mom out of
the way this entire time.
I've been watching her,
she's totally into you.
(Garrett) Allie, you're
not making any sense.
(Alison) I'm making
perfect sense!
She gets a divorce, she
invents some boy toy.
To distract all of us,
And at the first
opportunity she hits on you.
(Garrett) come on,
she's not hitting on me.
(Alison) yes, she is.
She absolutely is.
(suspenseful music)
I bet her ex knows something.
We have to talk to him.
Give me his number,
I'll call him right now.
"hey, you don't know me,
but could you tell me.
Why you and violet
got a divorce?"
(Alison) I would
have to ask violet.
What her ex-husband's name is.
And that would be weird, right?
(Garrett) yeah, it'd
be a little weird.
Honey, I'll do anything
to get your mom.
Out of that place, but
what you're saying.
Has no connection
to the dead guy.
And the bloody knife
found in mom's hand.
If you'll do anything
to get mom out of there,
Then you'll help me find
violet's ex-husband.
(birds chirping)
(car door closing)
(intense music)
(camera shutter clicking)
Ma'am, did you
know the deceased?
Never saw him before in my life.
(car door closing)
My phone.
Mr. Benson?
You're violet's
ex-husband, right?
I need to talk to you.
I don't need to talk to you.
(Alison) I'm Garrett
Hawkins' daughter.
- I think you know who he is.
- I don't!
And if you don't
get off my property,
- I'm gonna call the police.
- Please, sir.
My mom is in jail
for killing a man,
But I'm convinced violet
did it and framed my mom.
So that she could have
my dad to herself.
- What?
- This guy pretended.
To be an investor.
He cheated my mom
out of all her money,
Well, my parents' money.
Next thing we know, he's dead.
And my mom is accused
of murdering him.
No. I'm not getting
involved in any of this.
(Alison) violet told the police
she's never seen this guy.
In her life, but I found this
business card in her house.
Which is right
next door to ours.
(dramatic music)
Please, if you know
anything at all, help me!
My mom is innocent!
I will break every damn
window in your house.
Unless you talk to me!
(sighing)
Come in.
(dark music)
That guy is a con artist.
He tried to scam
me and violet, too.
He was slick, really slick.
His name isn't Russ rich man.
It's Oliver Matthews.
But then why would she have
his business card in her house?
(violet) Oliver, just
get her to say yes.
Oliver!
Oliver, finish the job.
Oliver! Just do it!
(Alison) violet hired
Oliver to scam my mom.
(mason) she might have, but that
doesn't mean she killed him.
(Alison) she wanted my
dad and she'd do anything.
To get him, wouldn't she?
(soft piano music)
Did she ever love you?
I was never lucky with women.
But violet, she...
she was so beautiful.
When I asked her to
marry me, she said yes.
In the beginning, I
thought she loved me.
Truth is, she was
only pretending to.
She was obsessed
with your father.
Ever since high school.
I thought I could change that.
I was wrong.
When I finally confronted
her about it...
You're doing it again.
(dramatic music)
She tried to kill me.
And all I remember
is her telling me...
I hate you!
I've always hated you!
(mason) get your
stuff and get out.
(violet) mason!
- You don't mean it.
- Get out!
She tried to kill you?
Did you call the police?
(mason) I kept hoping
she'd come back to me.
But after today, I don't
think that's gonna happen.
Mr. Benson, thank you.
I really have to talk
to my dad right now.
Oh, and fyi,
You can do a lot
better than violet.
(somber music)
(tapping of computer keys)
- What's all this?
- You've been working.
Way too hard.
Time to start thinking
about your future.
(dark music)
Our future.
I think we need to talk.
(violet) have I
been a naughty girl?
(Garrett) violet, I don't
think that this is, uh...
(violet) don't
think this is what?
(Garrett) look, you're
a beautiful woman.
- Am I?
- But I'm still married.
(violet) that doesn't
matter anymore.
Daisy is never
coming home again.
(Garrett) look...
I know that I did something
to hurt you very badly,
But that was a
long, long time ago.
Besides, you have
Pietro now, right?
And I'm still very much
in love with daisy.
(violet) no.
You love me.
You've always loved me.
And now we can pick
up where we left off.
(tense music)
(cellphone ringing)
(Garrett) it's Allie.
Hey, sweetie, is
everything okay?
(Alison) no, it's not.
I tracked down
violet's ex-husband.
(Garrett) that's,
uh, that's great.
Oh my god, she's
there, isn't she?
Dad, listen, her ex told me.
That violet was
obsessed with you.
When he confronted her about it,
She tried to kill him.
Violet moved into the house
next door to be near you.
That's excellent news,
I'm glad to hear it.
(Alison) oh, and that Russ guy?
His real name is Oliver
Matthews, a con artist.
I overheard violet
talking to Oliver,
And I didn't know who he was
at the time, but I do now.
Violet hired Oliver to scam mom,
And then she lied
to the detective.
Dad, violet framed
mom for the murder.
We have to go to the
police as soon as possible.
(Garrett) okay,
sweetie, I gotta go.
(Alison) dad, don't hang up!
(violet) everything good?
(ominous music)
(Garrett) you killed that guy.
You made it look like
daisy did it, didn't you?
(violet) what? Of
course I didn't.
Alison tracked down your ex.
Told her the whole story
about Oliver Matthews,
About your obsession with me.
Get dressed.
(violet) he only told you
his side of the story.
- What about mine?
- I said, "get dressed.
And get out!"
I only married mason because
he had lots of money,
But he couldn't give me
what I really wanted.
You.
I was living a lie for years,
But I just couldn't
do it anymore.
I had to be with you.
Now that I have you, I'm
never letting go again.
(tense music)
(Garrett) I'm
calling the police.
(violet) ah!
(Garrett) you're going
away for a long time.
(dramatic music)
(phone beeping)
(tense music)
(violet) ah! You
monster, I loved you!
I loved you my entire life!
But not anymore.
You're nothing to me now!
(dramatic music)
Get up, you bastard.
(heavy breathing)
Garrett? Baby?
Oh, god, baby, no.
No, Garrett, wake up!
Wake up!
(tense music)
Dad?
(door closing)
- I killed him.
- You what?
(violet) it was an
accident, I didn't mean to.
(Alison) dad? What did you do?
What did you do?
Dad, wake up! Wake up!
Dad, please, please, please.
Help! Somebody, help me!
Help!
(intense music)
(violet) oh, you want
to do this? Okay.
(grunting)
(violet) ah!
(gasping, harsh clanking)
(violet groaning)
(panting)
(dramatic music)
(tense music)
(grunting, screaming)
(intense music)
(coughing)
(heavy breathing)
(groaning)
(gasping)
(grunting)
(violet) no!
(Garrett) what the
hell are you doing?
(violet) kiss me.
(Alison) hey!
(grunting, harsh clanking)
(dramatic music)
(somber music)
(Garrett) you okay?
(soft music)
(Alison) "madame and monsieur
of the Paris fashion academy,
Due to a series of
horrific events.
That happened to my family,
I was unable to meet deadlines.
For further submissions.
I realize this
may be impossible,
But I humbly ask that
you please reconsider me.
As a student for
the upcoming term.
Attending your school has
been a lifelong dream.
"Sincerely yours,
Alison Hawkins."
"dear ms. Hawkins,
After carefully reviewing
your circumstances,
We have decided to reward
you with a full scholarship.
To attend the institute."
I'm so proud of you.
(soft piano music)
(indistinct chatter)
(somber piano music)
(buzzer)
Garrett.
Garrett.
You and me.
Forever.
Forever.
(dark music)
(somber music)
