1 A Brooklyn romance gone wrong as lovebirds Dory Sief and Drew Gardner have been charged with murder and become tabloid pariahs in a case that's amassed international attention for its unusually stylish perpetrators and the mountains of evidence against them.
The best friend is saying that she helped - them bury the body.
- I mean, personally, I'm a huge fan.
I love, like, a shameless homage to the '70s, that sort of Bushwick culture.
I'm all in.
He's a cutie, though.
- [LAUGHTER.]
- I see why she likes him.
See, she's like me.
She likes a tall man like an oak tree.
She can climb to the top and then slide all the way down.
[WOMEN LAUGHING, CHEERING.]
Could these two seemingly charming hipsters be cold-blooded murderers? You be the judge.
Obedear, the sky is low Watch fluent seamen rig their rudders El, I did everything you said to do.
I listened to you.
I asked for a lawyer, and then I get there, and they were all, like, you know, asking me questions willy-nilly.
It's like, what am I supposed to do, just not answer? It would've been so quiet and awkward, El.
You know, I don't really understand what happened, - Portia.
- What? You literally signed a document that set you free and screwed over everyone else.
What is gonna happen to me now? That's the good thing.
Nothing's gonna happen to you, because I asked, and they said you're not worth pressing charges over.
But my reputation, Portia! But your reputation was already bad! But that was my choice.
This is so much worse, okay? Now everyone's really gonna think I helped my friends bury a body.
You did bury a body, Elliott! That was way below the belt, Portia.
And now it's your word against mine in a court of law when we should be a united front.
But we are a united front.
I'm gonna go be with my family People who really love me and wouldn't betray me in the way that you have.
[DOOR OPENS, SLAMS.]
[CLATTER.]
CASSIDY: But you have every right to be so mad at Portia, and I know it's tempting to share that with the world, But for now, I think it's best to keep a low profile.
Yeah, the only thing is, is, like, I'm going a little stir-crazy here, okay? 'Cause there's, like, a moat of paparazzi, like, outside of my apartment, and I swear to God they are coming in here at night, Cassidy, and they're stealing my shoes.
- They're not doing that.
- Yes, they are.
I've lost like four pairs of Keds in the last two weeks.
Have you ever lost that many shoes at that rate? Reid.
Reid.
- Hey.
- Hey, buddy.
Hey, okay, I'm feeling kind of weird about this.
Can't you just tell me what you're up to? Yeah, it's really better if I don't.
Okay, and maybe I'm paranoid.
It's just that there's something in my past I want to make sure stays in my past.
Okay, well, if you get caught, you have to say you stole all this stuff from me.
Mom and Dad are gonna kill me if they find out I helped you with this.
Reid, you're not gonna get in trouble.
Okay.
Driver's license, debit card, - and two plane tickets.
- Thank you.
- [EXHALES SHARPLY.]
- Okay, great.
I really, really appreciate this.
- Okay.
- Good to see you.
- Be careful.
- Okay, yeah.
You, too.
Portia flipped, I'm gonna have to testify now, and all I want to do is have lunch with my family and plan my wedding, you know, without all this noise.
I mean, it's supposed to be the happiest time of my life, and, I'm sorry, but I just want to ignore this entire mess and do what any country does in unstable times plan a big, gorgeous wedding.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
Oh! - Ah, Mommy! - Hi.
- How are you? - [LAUGHTER.]
Oh, good to see you.
Ah, you, too.
Oh.
- Daddy! - Ah, there he is.
- Oh.
- Hey.
Oh, my God.
Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit.
My goodness.
Oh.
Look at you two fiancés.
[LAUGHTER.]
Does anyone else hear that? Is that wedding bells ringing? [LAUGHING.]
No.
[LAUGHING.]
Wallace! - Wedding bells.
- Oh, I am so sorry we're so late.
The butlers got into a jealous fight, And I had to break them up.
Can you believe that? Grown men fighting about who should draw our baths.
Mommy, don't brag about butlers.
Elliott, don't talk to your mother that way.
We've earned butlers.
I know.
I'm sorry.
I just You know, a lot's going on right now, so Ah, I understand how stressful it's been.
You know, I don't want to talk about this anymore.
I want to talk about things I understand Love.
I would like to make a toast.
Oh, I love that.
- Oh, Mommy, this is - When Elliott came out, I thought, "Well, there goes football season.
" [LAUGHTER.]
And the Goss legacy.
[CHUCKLES.]
I wasn't the best mother in that moment.
I thought being gay meant a life of sex addiction and lubricants and loneliness.
And I'm not too proud to admit now that I was wrong.
And I still haven't quite forgiven myself, Especially because I just adore you, Marc.
Aww, Audra.
- She's gonna make me cry.
- Oh.
You've taught me that gay means "happy.
" - That's right.
Yes.
- And it does.
Gay means "happy", and I see how gay you make my son.
And it just fills my heart with so much joy.
And I just I want to thank you for marrying my son.
- [SIGHS.]
- To a big, blond family.
To a big, blond family.
[LAUGHTER.]
Beautiful, Mom.
Oh, hi.
- [CHUCKLING.]
Hi.
- June.
How'd you know it was me and not my twin, April? Have we met? Uh, y uh, yeah.
Yes, yes, I-I think we have.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
Um, uh, I'm sorry.
This is not really a great time.
I was just leaving to, um to go to the gym.
It's kind of an emergency.
Have you seen April? She's been gone for a while, and I have a scary feeling about it.
No.
No, I can't say that I've seen her in quite a while.
Tell her, Dory.
Tell her that you killed the only family member she ever had.
The last thing she texted me Was that she found the money for my heart transplant.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, my heart's just too big.
It always has been.
It's a ticking time bomb.
[CHUCKLES.]
I'm really sorry to hear that.
Well, if you know any information, even if you think it's not important but you get a little ping, call me.
Here's my number.
Here's my number.
Okay.
Absolutely.
Well, thank you, Well, thank you, -and have a really wonderful day -and have a really wonderful day - and an incredible workout.

[CHUCKLES.]
Julian.
Senator Ferguson? Get in.
I owe you an apology.
Do you remember those photos I sent you, the ones of my bare torso and my, um, inner thighs? Mm-hmm.
Yep, yep.
Listen, you met me at a very difficult time in my life, And that was completely out of character.
And I want - to make things right.
I just need your phone.
I don't have it.
I've lost my phone.
I-I can look for it, see if it turns up somewhere.
We're friends, Julian, so I'm asking nicely, But I have to go back to Washington, and my friends there might not be so gracious.
They might not even ask.
They might just kick your teeth in.
[CHUCKLES.]
Who knows? I never said I was psychic.
Anyway, good luck.
[TWIN CAVERNS' "THE CROWN" PLAYS.]
[REPORTERS CLAMORING.]

Carry apart My wooden heart Saves unbroken wings From hell Hey, there, sir.

Oh, my God.
From Sundown Middle School? - Huh? - Oh, my God.
Uh, it's Drew Gardner.
Do you remember, man? We hung out for like a month together back in the day.
It was like must've been 18 years ago.
Oh, yeah.
- What the the hell, man? - Yeah! - What the the hell, man? - Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Look, so, yeah, what I-I-I don't I don't want to do whatever you're selling - or whatever you want me to do, okay? - Okay, yeah, no, just [STAMMERING.]

Yeah, cool.
Awesome.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
- Man, this is so cool to be in here.
- All right, cool.
CASSIDY: Was it a surprise to learn that your friends were accused of murder? I mean, it was an absolute shock to my system, like, swirled up in a larger shock of life changes.
Like, not only was I balancing the news that my, uh, best friends were being accused of murder.
I was realizing that I needed to become a CEO overnight, and I also took a quiz online that made me realize I'm probably bipolar.
So, to answer your question, yes, I'm in pain.
CASSIDY: So, what do we think about Chantal? And be perfectly honest, because your input will determine whether or not she's a witness in this high-profile trial.
I'm sorry.
Does she have a disease? I don't want to use insensitive language if she has a disease.
I hate her.
She's all shadow side.
No light.
My first thought when she began speaking was, like, of of, like, sticky jelly on my fingers.
- Oof.
- I wish her the worst, And I hope it comes true ASAP.
- She's definitely guilty.
- Guilty and diseased.
Okay, guys, but she's a witness.
- So, get another witness.
- Yeah, it's obvious.
Okay, I can't get another I'm sorry.
Um, I probably shouldn't be telling you this, But there's only like a handful of alibis, okay? There's Chantal, there's Elliott Goss, and then there's that hot French guy who died climbing the CN Tower in Toronto.
So we have to bring her to the stand.
You can't.
We hate her.
Shame on you.
All right, uh, my wife has tried every dessert.
I think it's time for a check.
It's already been paid for by that heinous conservative pundit sitting over there.
Oh, my God.
That's Charlie Reeny.
She's very controversial.
Beautiful, though.
- Oh, my God.
- She's coming over here.
- Are you sure? - She recognizes you-know-who.
Oh, she's here.
Hi, family.
Hi.
I paid for your lunch.
Uh, we heard.
Thank you.
I suppose I owe you my firstborn? You can return the favor by coming on my show.
As if.
This is not an ambush.
- I just want to talk.
- [CHUCKLES.]
Everyone else wants to hear from Drew and Dory, but not me.
I want to hear from you.
I like that you're crazy.
I'm sorry, but I cannot stomach your values.
I resent everything you represent.
Okay.
If you change your mind, let me know.
I have 2.
7 million viewers who would love to get to know you.
[SCOFFS.]
Can you imagine? [SCOFFS.]
MARC: Let's talk flowers.

- Okay, thanks.
- Yeah.
[TREADMILLS BEEPING.]
[SCOFFS.]
Can you believe that? Some people are just plain vile.
She's so guilty.
Don't you think? - Uh, I don't know.
- I've been reading up on it.
The DNA's all over the body, And she was having an affair with him.
- That's crazy.
- Yeah.
The only reason she's not already locked up for good is because she's pretty.
If I ever met her in real life, I'd spit in her face.
[TREADMILL BEEPS.]
