Twisted s01e05 Episode Script

- Previously on "Twisted" - What's it like? Being around Danny all the time again? It's extremely different.
She got it sometime last spring.
Know where? Who gave it to her? Does it have something to do with what happened to her? What do you want from me, Danny? I just want I can't have anything that reminds me of what I did.
- Including Tara's necklace? - What necklace? What's going on? Anything in the bedroom? Okay, let's go.
I know what he was looking for.
When Regina died, she was wearing my Aunt Tara's necklace.
Why didn't you tell us that?! I guess we have to figure out how Regina got that necklace.
I thought you hated peanut butter.
That's because it makes you pudgy.
Not my problem anymore.
Wow, are you seriously judging a dead person right now? No, you're just eating it so quickly.
- Take a breath.
- Can't.
God's a vegan.
He's weird about processed food.
If he found out about this, he'd kill me.
A line like that would kill in heaven.
Ha! I just said "kill" again.
Heaven, huh? Well-played.
Well I had to lie about how many people I've slept with.
They only allow two.
So, tell me about stuff.
Catch me up.
What's going on with you? Nothing.
Someone's got a secret and her name is Lacey.
Spill it, bitch.
Is it about Danny? You wanna hit that, don't you? What? No, I don't.
I don't blame you.
That long hair The menacing eyes, the strong, murderous hands.
When Danny killed me, he was smiling.
It was creepy at the time.
But now hot.
Where did you get that? This thing? I don't know.
Why? You think it's a clue? No, it's none of my business.
You think Danny took this from me, don't you? Regina, please just stop it.
You think he took it from me when he killed me.
You think he yanked it from my cold, dead Neck.
Sources have confirmed that a search warrant served at the Desai residence Hold on, mom.
I think dad's about to get a shout-out.
The Regina Crane murder remains unsolved, putting the town of Green Grove increasingly on edge heading into its famous annual Fall Festival Hey, unsolved.
That's me.
Well, Festival's certainly getting a publicity bump.
Maybe I'll even get a few out-of-towners signing up for my pottery class.
You don't need any extra publicity.
Your booth's gonna be awesome.
Awesome enough to get you to check out the Festival this year? It's not my thing.
Used to be.
You and I would put together the most elaborate outfits for you to wear to the evening formal.
Those big dresses with those fancy pink bows.
Yeah, well, I'm not 10 anymore, mom.
I'm aware of that, sweetie.
I'm sorry.
It's just That tradition is kind of dated, you know? Fair enough.
Let's just hope for everyone's sake that Danny shares your attitude.
Why? Your raid didn't find any evidence against him.
Not even the necklace.
Necklace? What necklace? You wanna tell her? Regina Crane was wearing Tara Desai's necklace When she died.
Is that all Danny told you? And it was missing From Regina.
Why would Danny kill Regina and then take the one thing - that would make him look guilty? - Good question.
Did Danny explain to you what the deal is with this necklace? It was a family heirloom.
Anyway, aren't you more interested in who gave Regina the necklace? - Why she had it.
- Believe me, we're looking at this from every possible angle.
I have to get to school, so Okay, have a nice walk.
Regina had Tara's necklace? Who do you think gave it to her? What, are you gonna tell me Danny's innocent too? - I don't know what to think.
- Well, that seems pretty clear.
Jo's getting out of control.
Maybe we should start presenting a more united front.
I think the town should ban him.
Fall Fest is a cherished tradition.
It's a family event.
And the last thing we need is a killer coming and freaking everyone out.
Wow, tell us how you really feel, Tim Calvert, local resident.
You want some cereal? Uh, yeah yeah.
I'll ma I'll make it.
You, uh, thinking of going? To the, uh Fall Fest? I don't know.
You? Ooh, after that charity brunch? I think I need a little break from the town.
Maybe you need a break too.
Well, not according to Dr.
Reidy.
She wants me to connect with meaningful events from my past.
It might help with my "transition.
" So I decided to donate some of your dad's things to Goodwill.
Someone's coming this morning to pick them up.
It's not a bad idea.
What things? Some of his old clothes, suits and ties, the big chair in the den.
The chair? That a problem? Kinda.
Yeah, actually.
Maybe it's too soon Get rid of dad's stuff I like having it around.
It makes me feel like, uh, he's still here.
Okay.
We can wait.
Thanks.
Come on, you're the one who talked me into joining the stupid mathletes.
What? So now I'm required to help you sell pies at Fall Fest? No, they're pi pies.
You you get it, right? It's like the symbol pi.
You mathletes sure know how to pun.
Okay, well, one of these years, I'm gonna drag you to this Festival.
Yeah, well, not this year.
My town spirit isn't exactly at an all-time high.
Is it because of the Danny stuff? I guess I just wish more people would give him a chance, you know? Yeah, but you get why people are still freaked, right? I'm not saying they have a right to be.
No, I know.
People can think whatever they want.
Fall Fest used to be fun, but I don't know Maybe I'm just not a town community kinda girl anymore.
My social studies teacher Mr.
Jasper says that all human beings have the same basic needs for community and tradition.
You can trace it back to Mayan times.
Right.
Because the Mayans are never wrong.
God, I'm dreading this weekend.
Fall Fest is such a production.
I know.
I kinda wish I was going.
Come on! You're getting a night out in Manhattan.
Yeah, with my parents and my brother.
I had the most perfect dress picked out for evening formal.
Yellow with this bright red frill shooting off in every direction.
Archie, Sarita and Scott are all ditching too.
It is a weird year.
A.
R.
"After Regina.
" Right.
Gosh, she was so into it.
Do you ever dream about her? All the time.
It's like she has her own room in my subconscious.
I dreamt about her last night.
I asked her about that necklace.
You know, that red and gold one she was always wearing.
Oh, the one that the police were asking about? Yeah.
I wonder where she got it.
You should ask Regina's mom about it.
No, I don't wanna bother her.
Danny Desai should not be allowed to attend the Festival.
This is about more than safety, all right? This is a family event.
Something I did as a kid, and now do with my kids.
Okay, let's settle down.
I know the media attention has us all a bit on edge, but I can't bar any resident from attending.
Exactly.
Who are we to judge Danny Desai? The police have had weeks to arrest him and they haven't.
Yeah, but that doesn't make him innocent.
We're not here to talk about the case, we're here to talk about safety at Fall Fest.
And I want to assure everyone in this room that I take that responsibility very seriously.
Well, how are we supposed to believe that, Chief Masterson, when you allow your daughter to cavort around town with the killer? Leave my daughter out of this, Tim.
All right, all right, everyone.
Let's just take it easy.
Let's just lay off Chief Masterson, huh? Mayor Rollins, I have been attending this Festival since I was five And I've been going since I was three.
So I guess I got you beat there, Tim.
Now look, Danny Desai or no Danny Desai, I know this is gonna be a fantastic, safe, fun Fall Festival.
And Chief Masterson is gonna make sure of it! Isn't that right, Chief Masterson? All right.
So, do you think there's some sort of massive town event this weekend? Possibly.
Maybe one involving Fall.
Good call.
God, do you remember that crazy dance you, me and Lacey used to do at the evening formal? Yeah.
Yeah.
We used to kinda have fun at this thing, huh? Yeah, we did.
You should go.
Me? To the Festival when actual people are attending it? Yeah.
Why not? What if I went with you? Didn't you call Fall Fest "a lame, cheesy, outdated tradition packed with fanatical town spirit zealots"? I never said it was cheesy.
Let's just go for a little bit tomorrow.
Yeah.
Okay.
Sure.
Hey, Lace.
What's, uh - What's happening? - I'm just waiting for my food.
Hi, Jo.
Lacey.
So, Jo and I were talking about Fall Fest.
You going? - I have to, my mom's an organizer.
- Ah.
You're not going, are you? - We were talking about it, yeah.
- Really? Everyone's pretty tense after that raid.
Oh, the raid that didn't turn up any evidence? That we know of.
Mm.
You were Regina's B.
F.
F.
You'd think you'd know all sorts of stuff.
Okay, ladies.
That's enough banter for one evening, I think.
Really, Jo? Like what? Oh, I don't know.
How about where Regina got that necklace.
What do you know about the necklace? Okay, Lacey, look.
That necklace that necklace belonged to my Aunt Tara.
That's why the police are so intent on my guilt.
Yeah.
Can you blame them? Danny was locked up for five years, Lacey.
Don't you think that the person who gave Regina the necklace might be connected to Just stop it, Jo.
This isn't a game.
Regina was a real person.
I never said she wasn't.
And how can you go to the Festival with all this craziness going on? It's selfish! You're making it all about you! Don't listen to her, okay? She's wrong.
Hey, check it out.
That's Danny Desai.
Hey, Mrs.
Masterson.
Uh, Jo around? She just ran to say hi to Rico.
So How's it going so far? Lots of glares and tense looks, which is pretty much par for the course So good, I guess.
You teaching a pottery class? - Yeah.
- That's cool.
I've always wanted to learn how to make one of these.
Oh, you should sign up.
Really? You sure that's okay? Yeah, of course it is.
You're signing up? That's awesome.
Well, I came, I saw, I didn't exactly conquer.
But no one spat on me.
Right? Bonus.
Do you wanna leave? Let's go get some food.
Actually, I signed us up to work at Rico's mathlete booth.
And I thought maybe we could go to the formal tonight.
Jo.
You wanna come tonight? Don't say no right away, but I saw a dress a few booths down and I think it would look great on you.
Uh, um Don't speak.
Here.
Stay.
She's been trying to put a dress on me for years, that poor woman.
So, um, what happened to "check out a couple of booths and leave"? I just don't wanna push my luck, okay? Don't let Lacey get in your head.
If you wanna do Fall Fest, you should be able to do it.
Well? It's, um It's a dress.
I think you'd look amazing in it.
Actually, I I think I might just wear something out of my own closet.
You know, like, nice pants, maybe a fancy sweater.
Pants and a sweater.
How festive.
You are so thoughtful to bring these by.
This is from your girls' weekend in Cape Cod last year, - isn't it? - Yeah, I think it is.
Ohh, look at that smile.
Mrs.
Crane, do you know where Regina got that necklace? No, I have no idea.
You know, Chief Masterson asked me the same question.
Yeah, me too.
What did you tell him? Well, just that she started wearing it six or seven months ago.
She told me it was a gift.
She never said who gave it to her? Lacey, what is this about? Nothing.
I'm sorry.
Just curious.
Well, Lacey, if you don't mind.
I have a lot of work to do.
I'm finally getting to all these condolence letters.
Do you want some help? I could sort it all for you, make a list of everyone who wrote to you, so it's easier to reply.
Ohh Lacey, that would be wonderful.
Thank you.
John.
My office has been getting calls all morning.
Guess who decided to spend the day at the Festival? And guess who he was seen hanging around with? Oh, what a fun game.
Let me see.
Um, wavy hair, surly smile, answers to the name of Jo? That's right.
Along with your wife.
What do you want me to say? I've been busy.
Yeah, busy making a mockery of this town.
That raid was a P.
R.
nightmare.
And as far as I can tell, this entire Crane investigation - is a complete mess! - I'm working on it.
That necklace is still the best lead we have.
That's what you were looking for at the Desai house? A necklace? We're looking for the link between Regina and Tara How the girl got that thing.
It was in police custody after Tara's death, then the estate lawyers.
But nobody has a record of who it went to next.
What about a freaking murder weapon?! Danny had to hit the girl with something.
We haven't found one yet.
But there were traces of paint at the point of impact.
- Paint from what? - I don't know.
There's a lot we don't know.
That crime scene was a mess because of that party, the alibis are a blur, 'cause everyone was drunk.
You see where I'm going with this? The necklace Fall Fest Is the most important day of the year for Green Grove.
You know that.
Anything goes wrong, I'm holding you personally responsible.
Are we clear, Kyle? Crystal clear John.
Come on, buy warm pi pies.
They pun and they taste great.
Buy a fresh pi pie, help the mathletes earn money for, um What do you need the money for? Travel costs, hotel rooms Note cards Like to memorize stuff.
- It's going well, huh? - I guess.
Come on, Danny's a selling machine.
And no offense, but your mathlete buddies aren't exactly born salesmen and women.
Hey, do you wanna buy a pie from me? Okay.
Can you carry these pies over to the table? - Yeah.
- Thanks.
Are you okay? I thought you wanted my help.
Yeah, your help.
Okay.
- More enthusiasm.
- More enthusiasm.
- More enthusiasm.
Pi pies for everyone! - Pies! Sir, would you like to buy a pi pie? Not from you.
Where do you get off being here, acting like everything's okay? - Leave him alone.
- Can you back the hell off? He has as much of a right to be here as you.
Okay, maybe we should just calm down, because It's cool.
I can just leave.
How can you defend him? He's a freaking murderer! - You're a right wing nut! - Are seriously that stupid? I'm looking out for our kids! - He is one of our kids.
- Oh! - Sir? Sir? - Hey! Hey hey hey hey, Tim! Tim Tim! Keep your hands off him, Tim.
Okay? Okay? Yeah.
Okay, people.
Let's settle down.
Nothing else to see here.
Let's move on, okay? Come on, have a great day.
Enjoy the festival.
Well some of them some of them seem edible.
- That one's - It's fine.
We have more.
Okay.
And Danny said he was gonna go pick up some more pies at the diner.
You know what? I think Danny's done enough.
Come on, Rico.
We're gonna have fun tonight.
All three of us.
You're you're going to the formal tonight? With him? After what just happened? It was one isolated incident.
It's not going to be if you go tonight.
It's gonna be fine.
My dad won't let anything else happen.
Why do you wanna go all of a sudden? Just for Danny? He's been in juvie for five years.
- Right.
- I just feel like he deserves to have some fun, okay? He can't go alone.
He needs me there.
Okay, so we'll see you tonight then? Sure.
Okay.
Thank you! Danny.
Hey.
Thank you for stepping in back there.
You kinda kicked some ass.
- Just doing my job.
- I know.
I just didn't know that your job involved protecting me.
I'm responsible for protecting everyone who lives here.
And you're making that much harder by being at the Festival.
You understand that, right? Where you headed now? Just bringing these pies to Rico, and then I'm gonna go home, probably get changed for tonight.
I'll take these to Rico.
I think we both know you've had enough Fall Fest this year.
It's Jo's idea, by the way, to go tonight.
She really needs this.
She can still have it.
Just not with you.
I just thought it was time to check in and follow up on Danny's progress.
So? How's he doing? Well.
He's a smart young man.
Yes, he is.
And Dr.
Reidy, I am sure that you've heard some of the hateful words people are using to describe Danny.
"Monster, freak sociopath.
" I wouldn't let it get to you, Mrs.
Desai.
It's a heightened time.
Oh, I know.
But as a mother, how should I respond to people calling him that? I'm not being clear.
Uh What are the signs that someone is a sociopath? So that I can explain why Danny isn't one.
Most sociopaths don't murder anyone.
But they do exhibit glibness, superficial charm, an easy ability to lie.
- Right.
- Hmm, let's see, what else? They love risk.
They don't consider consequences.
They have a talent for imitating human emotion.
Grief, joy It's never real, but they're good at making you believe it is.
Was that helpful, Mrs.
Desai? Yes, Dr.
Reidy.
Thank you.
So, how'd she do? Good.
Sold some pots, got some class sign-ups.
She's still trying to get me to wear that dress tonight But other than that, she's a Happy Tess.
Do you wanna, uh Do you wanna stay in tonight? Maybe rent a movie, grab some take-out? Okay.
Yeah.
I just I thought you wanted to go.
Don't put this on me, Jo.
If you wanna go tonight, then just go.
Danny, I just I just feel like if you hide away and act like some pariah killer, then you're just confirming what most people already think about you.
That's not a good enough reason to go and you know it.
Everything okay? Fine.
We're not going tonight.
Oh.
Why is that? Danny changed his mind.
Did you change your mind? Honey, I know you.
You can say you hate this all you want, but ever since you said you were going, I can tell how happy it's made you.
I cannot believe you promised to do all this.
Guilt is a powerful motivator.
So you asked about some stupid necklace.
So what? Well? How do I look? Sexy.
Manhattan sexy? So my mom keeps complaining about how I'm wearing too much makeup right now, but I'm like, "mom, we're going to New York.
This isn't the '60s with these bra-less wonders and the no makeup.
" Like, this is New York.
I'm gonna be going to Broadway, I'm gonna be seeing these really cute Broadway boys.
I mean, I know that they're all gay, but if anyone could turn them, it would be me.
As long as I have a lot of makeup and the dress and the attitude and the moves What's wrong? I look like a whore, don't I? What is it? Is it too much lip gloss? No, Phoebe.
You look great.
Okay.
Wow.
You look incredible.
- How did you, um - Oh, me? It was all Tess.
You should have seen her.
She was, like, foaming at the mouth with mom joy.
I bet.
I'm glad you decided to go.
Me too.
- But I want you to come with me.
- Look You were right.
Fall Fest did mean a lot to me.
But part of the reason why it meant so much was because I was there with you.
Come on, you're gonna make me do our funny dance all by myself? That's not fair.
Okay.
You look like your father.
Yeah.
I should.
This is one of his old suits.
Amazing it fits me, huh? I'm glad you kept it.
Could you, uh Could you help me with this? Jo's waiting out front and she gets a little impatient.
Didn't your dad ever teach you how to tie a tie? Yeah, I guess I'm just out of practice.
Not a lot of occasions for formal wear in juvie.
Good point.
All done.
Thanks for the help, mom.
I'll always help you, Danny.
That's my job.
It's lovely, isn't it? Regina always said the Fall Festival Was her favorite day.
I know.
She'd spend weeks looking for the perfect dress.
If she found out your outfit had like one color in common, she'd force you to wear something else.
She could be such a pain in the ass.
Are you leaving already? Yeah, I just wanted to come by and see this.
I don't do very well with big social events these days.
I'm glad people are remembering her this way.
This fun, beautiful girl.
Happy.
Full of life.
Our Fall Festival draws people from all over the state.
Today I met a couple from Niagara Falls.
When you've got the biggest waterfall in the world, and you come to see us Mayor Rollins, it's an honor to meet you.
Thank you, Danny.
You both look wonderful, but why don't you just head on home, okay? - What's going on here? - Chief Masterson, there you are.
Hopefully you can talk a little sense into your daughter here.
We don't wanna mess anything up, we just wanna be a part of it.
You can stay, honey, but If Danny leaves, I leave.
Look, we can leave if that's what you guys really want.
But if you kick us out, I mean, that's a news story tomorrow.
I see, and it's a a better story if you attend? At least it'll be about Fall Fest.
Not if there's another disruption.
There won't be.
People listen to you.
They respect you.
So What's it gonna be? Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to introduce the lucky contestants chosen at random of this year's Fall Fest apple toss.
Haley Lyndon! - Come on up, Haley! Tim Calvert! Tim! And Danny Desai.
Now settle down, folks.
Who are to deprive any man, woman or child of the basic human right to throw an apple into a barrel, right? Okay, the rules are simple.
The person who throws the most apples into his or her barrel wins.
Ready, set, toss! Go, Danny! Go, Desai! Come on, Danny.
Hey.
You look, uh pretty.
Thanks.
Wow, Rico.
You clean up nice.
Yeah, I, uh I wear this suit every year.

Come on, Desai! Just get a rhythm going.
Okay, time is up! That's it.
All right, judges.
Who's the winner of this year's annual Fall Fest apple toss? - Whoo! - You know, I was catching up to you towards the end there.
You wanna cut a deal? Split the prize? Or not, that's cool.
Oh-ho! Folks.
By a landslide Our winner is Tim Calvert! Yeah, baby! Wow.
You really sucked at that.
You know, can't win 'em all.
I'll get him next year, it's fine.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, yeah.
Everything's going pretty smoothly.
That was well-handled, John.
If you'd done your job, I wouldn't have had to handle it.
Look at our girl.
She's so beautiful.
She is.
Hello, Chief Masterson.
Danny.
Jo, you just I can't get over you in this dress.
Yeah.
Maybe try.
You did a really great job, mom.
Thanks.
Maybe we can do it again sometime.
Oh, honey.
- Your hair.
- What? - It's not - What's wrong with it? Look, just so you know, I didn't come here to defy you.
Then why did you come? Your daughter, sir, she can be very convincing.
Here.
Just take it.
In case you wanna add a little color later.
Okay.
- Come on.
- Bye.
I'm gonna walk around.
Okay.
- You want me to - No.
I'll see you later.
Thank you.
Hey.
Jo, that dress is amazing.
Thanks.
You look good too.
Yeah, you really do.
So, are you here by yourself? My mom and sister are somewhere.
Well, you're welcome to hang out with us.
We're thinking about doing our funny dance.
- Remember? - Wait, you're not Oh, we're going for it.
Thanks, but I have to find my mom.
I'll see you guys later.
Para Bailar La Bamba Para Bailar La Bamba se necesita una poca de gracia una poca de gracia para mi, para ti y arriba y arriba y arriba y arriba y arriba, hey yo no soy marinero yo no soy marinero, por ti sere por ti sere, por ti sere.
That is never happening again.
Did you see everyone's faces? I think I just blacked out due to humiliation.
That's the day - I knew you were my pet - No.
- Hell no.
- Come on, really? One slow dance.
After what we just did, I don't think we can embarrass ourselves further.
Anything's possible, Danny.
Come on.
- Come on.
- Okay.
Relax.
Relax, Masterson.
Okay.
My love to the sea the sea of love I wanna tell you just how much I love you come with me my love to the sea the sea of love 'cause I wanna tell you just how much I love you.
See? That wasn't so bad, right? - Mm-hmm.
- Just a little bit.
Just a little bit.
Is everything all right? Hmm? Yeah.
I just, um I gotta run home for a second.
Don't worry.
It's probably nothing.
Wanna meet at the diner later? - Yeah, sure.
- Okay.
Hey.
Hey, Lace.
I got your text.
What's up? What's all the secrecy? This was sent to Regina? When? It was postmarked two days before she died.
We have to take this to the police.
- No, I can't.
- Come on.
Chief Masterson is two blocks away.
I can't! Not yet.
What if this has nothing to do with what happened to her? What if it does? I'm sorry.
I'm just not ready to screw with how everyone How they all remember Regina.
I owe it to her to find out what this means first.
We have to figure out who sent this! You and me, we have to go And Jo I'm not keeping this from her.
Her dad's the Chief of Police.
I'm not keeping this from her! Why do you wanna meet like this? How were we supposed to meet? You could have texted me, you could have called me, you could have talked to me in the school.
Why like this? Unless Unless you wanna get me alone.
You know what? Screw you.
Lacey, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have said that.
Lacey, wait wait wait.
Hey.
Hi.
So Danny and I are meeting up at the diner soon.
Do you wanna join? No, thanks.
My feet are pretty uncomfortable in these shoes.
I think they're giving me, like, a bunion or something.
It's like chafing on the flesh of my big toe.
- So my mom put some vas - Okay.
- Too much.
- Okay.
Okay, well, I'll just see you later then.
Why do you trust him? He lied to us, like, a lot.
Regina had his Aunt Tara's necklace? He didn't lie, he just he just didn't tell us.
It's the same thing.
Danny and I have been best friends since we were born.
I'm just not gonna give up on him.
I gotta go home.
Okay.
Well, do you want my parents to give you a ride? No, I can walk.
I thought your feet were like I'll be fine.
You want me to make some coffee? No, thank you.
Okay, just say what's on your mind, Kyle.
You didn't open your mouth the whole drive home.
He's taking your class.
I saw the sign-up sheet when you came back this afternoon.
Fine.
You want me to call Danny and kick him out of the class? This isn't about the class.
Then what's it about, Kyle? You're supposed to be on my side.
She was so happy tonight.
I haven't seen that girl in a while.
Gee, I wonder why that is.
I know you blame Danny for everything, but him coming back here It's been good for her.
My God, Tess! You're being charmed by a freaking psychopath! Don't yell at me.
He killed someone.
He wrapped a jump rope around her neck, and strangled the life out of her.
But whatever, right? He's gotten our daughter to wear a dress.
Who cares that he most likely killed a second person A person Jo's age this time.
If it's so obvious Danny did that, then why can't you find any evidence? Well, that's great.
I'm hearing it from my daughter, the town, - the mayor and now my wife.
- What do you want me to say?! That you're with me! That you wanna help me, that you care about our daughter's safety.
I care about Jo's safety just as much as you.
It sure doesn't seem like it.
Don't take it out on me just because you can't solve your case.
Do you give much? Do you take more? Do you know what's good? Build your tower all the ladders grab the reason to What's going on? Lacey, uh Lacey found something.
I sit by the shacks and wait for my share then come home to you do you read much? Does this make sense? I've been saving this line for you.
