Who Killed Our Father? (2023) Movie Script
1
Call Brad.
Hey, Leila.
I need your help.
Meet me at Iris's.
I'll be right there.
Iris! Oh my God!
No, no! Please. Please
don't die on me.
You're the only family I
have! Oh, my God! Please!
I can't lose you!
What the hell are
you doing here?
What did you do to Iris?
Leila? Is everything...?
Oh my God, what
the hell happened?
We have to call the cops.
No. No, hey, no.
I know how to handle this.
I got in over my head.
But I'm good for it, I promise.
I just need more time.
I know, OK?
Who was that on the phone?
No one.
It's just drama, OK? Nothing
for you to worry about.
What'd you get from the store?
Just some snacks and beer.
I'm not even attracted
to her! You know that!
You were all over
each other in school.
We were just talking.
Can't I have one
conversation with a girl
without you getting jealous?
If that's all you were doing,
I wouldn't have a problem.
Look. I gotta go.
Hey, what are you doing up here?
Oh, hi Hazel.
Uh, I was working
on a school project.
Didn't sound like homework.
Boy trouble?
Look, I've had my fair
share of bad relationships.
Don't give someone
your attention
who doesn't deserve it.
I'm just dropping off
some stuff for Nora.
She's been keeping
me really busy
helping out around
the house. She told me
you're having some
trouble in biology class.
I think your dad's a
bit concerned, too.
So, if you need a
tutor, I'm your gal.
Thanks, Hazel, for
offering to help
and for the relationship advice.
Anytime.
Oh, and if you need help
practicing for your
driver's test...
I don't want my license.
We live in the city;
I can just walk or ride share.
OK, well if you
change your mind,
all you've gotta do is ask.
See ya later.
Violet?
Sorry, I thought
that you were Dad.
No he's working late on
that big work project.
And then he's going for his run.
Right. Marathon
training.
Mm. My sister Faith is
coming into town soon.
I was thinking of
doing a spa day.
Would you like to join us?
I don't like pampering
and stuff. You know that.
I know it's been tough not
having your dad around much.
As soon as his work
project wraps up
and his marathon is over,
I'm sure he'll be home more.
Leila: I thought you were
coming home an hour ago.
I got held up.
Seems like that's
becoming a habit.
What's going on?
Just work stuff.
Does it have something
to do with all the
strange phone calls you've
been getting lately?
Someone slipped
this under the door.
Your neighbor got
it by accident.
Heredity House DNA Testing Kit?
You did one of these?
I did it a couple weeks
ago. Not a big deal
Why didn't you tell me?
Go ahead. Open it.
What. You don't want me to see?
I just need a minute.
Mrs. Hyatt?
Yes.
I'm Detective Howard. Is
your husband Scott Hyatt?
Yes! He's on a run.
I'm just visiting with
my sister right now.
What is this concerning?
May I come in?
Of course.
Howard: Mrs. Hyatt, I
have some bad news.
Your husband's body was
found in Baker Crest Park
on one of the trails
about an hour ago.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Oh, my God!
We have reason to believe
someone was involved
in his death.
The portion of the
trail where he was found
is less busy,
especially at night.
Out here training
for the marathon?
Investigators at the crime scene
say that it appears he was hit
with some type of blunt
force trauma to the head.
Now all we need to
know is who did it.
I should have been there.
He's training for a marathon;
we were supposed
to run it together.
If I was there, he
would still be alive.
I know this is not
the ideal time to ask,
but can you tell me
where you were tonight?
Violet?
Howard: So just
to confirm,
the two of you were here
together all night?
Yes. We were watching
a movie together.
It's my last day in town.
You're planning on
leaving tomorrow?
Uh, hopefully I can
stay a little longer.
I'm just gonna need
to check in with work.
Just give a good contact number.
What do you mean?
Well, as the sole witness to
Mrs. Hyatt's
whereabouts tonight,
we'll just be checking
in on a few things.
Detective, you don't
think that I...?
Unfortunately, in
cases like these,
we need to investigate
the spouse first.
We're just doing
our job, Mrs. Hyatt.
I can't believe this.
Did they say how he died?
I don't know. Why is the
whole world against me?
My mom's dead.
Now my dad.
I feel like I'm cursed.
I have no one.
Hey, that's not true.
You've got me. And Nora.
Look, I know you two
aren't exactly close,
but you're not alone. OK?
Ooh. Violet, honey, I
have some terrible news.
I already know. I
heard the detective.
How did he die?
They don't know yet,
but they suspect it
wasn't an accident.
What do you mean?
Somebody did this to my dad?
We don't know yet, honey.
Did you ask the police?
Did you, did you talk to
them? What did you say?
Violet, of course we asked.
I was worried about you.
I didn't know where you were;
you didn't call or text.
Since when do I ever
let you know where I am?
I let Dad know.
Leila: Oh, my God. I
don't believe this
Something happened to your dad?
It says they have no
leads. How can that be?
It's late. Who the hell is that?
Shh.
Man at door: Come
on, Brad. Open up!
What is going on?
Sh!
I know you're in there, Brad!
Brad, open the door!
Tell me, right now,
what's happening.
I um, I owe someone
a little money.
My bookie. I bet on the
fight last week and now...
How much?
Fifty thousand.
Leila!
Leila! Leila, let
me come with you.
You lied to me! You
put us both in danger.
Look. You're going to
meet your real family
for the first time.
I love you. Let
me be with you.
I'm sorry. I
need space.
Sweetie, this school
thing is a real problem.
I know, Dad!
Violet, look at me.
I know things have been
really hard with you
and I know that you still
miss your mom. I do, too.
It sure doesn't seem like it.
Honey, I will
never stop loving her.
She'll always be a part
of me, a part of us.
Maybe it's time that we went
back to family therapy.
Why? Because that worked
out so well before?
Honey, this is serious.
You heard the
guidance counselor.
If you don't pull
your grades up,
you won't graduate.
I know that maybe you think
that the family therapy
didn't work out.
It didn't work out
because of you!
Ever since Mom died, all
you care about is Nora,
your business, and
that stupid marathon.
I can't wait to move
out of the house
to leave you and Nora behind.
I'm sorry for what I said, Dad.
Nora: In lieu of flowers,
I've asked everyone
to make a donation
to Scott's favorite charity.
Ah, that's perfect. I'm
so sorry I have to leave.
I wish I could stay longer,
but the kids in my class,
they're really struggling
with the substitute.
No, I completely understand.
And thank you so much
for staying here with me
for a few extra days.
Anything for my sister.
What can I do from New York?
Um, help with the arrangements?
No, you have done enough.
And I've got Hazel
here to help me.
Why don't you just get
back to those kids.
And sis. Thank you
for everything.
Uh, I'm just gonna go to school.
I have to grab something
from my locker.
Let me get my car
keys, I'll drive you.
It's OK. I'll walk; I just
really need fresh air.
Hello, sister.
Shane: No, I'm
single. I swear!
So what I'm thinkin'
is, you and I, dinner?
Sorry.
My dad dies and you're still
messing with other
girls behind my back.
Not messin' around
with other girls.
Come on, would I
ever do that to you?
Look, I'm...
I'm done with this. With us!
So what? You're breaking up
with me? Are you serious?
Nora?
Yes.
I'm sorry this is
probably a strange time
for me to show up at your door.
My name is Leila.
I'm Scott's daughter.
I appreciate you sharing
all of this with me, Leila.
And I'm sorry you never
got to meet your father.
He was a wonderful man. In
fact, you remind me of him.
I do? How?
You have his green eyes.
I don't mean to be presumptuous,
but I assume you're here
to talk about Scott's will?
Oh, no. I don't care
about the money.
So, you're just here
to pay your respects?
And, more importantly,
to meet my sister.
She's out right now.
I see... well then...
I guess I'll get going.
I know this isn't the best
time for me to be here.
You mentioned the police
still don't have any leads.
Sadly, not yet.
Would it be OK if I left
my phone number for Violet
just in case she's
interested in connecting?
I'd also love to know
when you have a date
for the memorial service.
Of course!
So does that mean you'll be
staying in town for a bit?
Probably a few weeks.
It's really nice
to meet you, Nora.
Have a good night.
You too, Leila.
Here. I'll walk you.
Good night.
Violet?
I didn't know you were back.
There's something I need
to talk to you about.
I'm not really in the
mood for chit chat.
What is all this?
I'm looking up every
single one of Dad's friends
on social media and I'm
contacting them and asking
them where they were
the night that Dad died.
Honey, the police are
already doing that.
Days ago! It's been days. We
don't have even one clue.
I mean, Detective Howard?
He questioned us.
Who else is he even
talking to? Anyone?
It takes time, Violet.
Well, I want to know
who killed my dad,
so I'm not just gonna
sit here waiting around.
I understand. But...
We had a visit from a woman.
She is... your half sister.
Excuse me?
Your dad, a long time
ago before you were born,
he fathered a child.
He never knew.
Well, it's convenient
for her to show up now.
She seemed sincere...
but I will be calling the
detective to tell him.
We certainly can't
take any chances.
What's her name?
Leila Moore.
Leila!
You followed me here?
Hey. Don't be mad, OK?
I told you I wanted space.
It's not OK to track
me down like this.
I know. I just...
tried calling you.
What about the money you owe?
What if they followed you here?
I gotta guy here in
Philly. He can help me out.
I can't believe this.
Why don't I get us a motel room?
No. Look, the truth is,
things haven't been good
between us for a while now.
And after this whole crazy mess,
I think it's best
if we both moved on.
So you have a new family and
you're throwing me away?
That's not what I'm doing.
I wonder how they'd
feel if they knew
you murdered someone.
How could you say that?
That was self-defense
and you know that!
Yeah, you're right. You're
right. I was outta line.
Just leave me alone!
Nora: That's really all
I know about Leila
from our conversation
Howard: Did she say
where she was staying?
No, she didn't. I
should've asked.
She has a vehicle?
I noticed she was
driving a small SUV.
We can look up any vehicle
registered to her name.
OK. Thank you.
What did the detective say?
They want to talk to Leila.
I just... I keep getting
this awful feeling.
I just want time to
grieve my husband.
How could they think I would
do something like this?
I'm so sorry, Nora. I know
how hard this is for you.
Thank you for being
here with me, Hazel.
Hm.
Howard: Is there someone in
Atlanta I can speak to
who can vouch for your
whereabouts the night
of Mr. Hyatt's murder?
Laila: I think I ordered
some takeout that night.
There should be a receipt.
I'm gonna level
with you, Ms. Moore.
The timing of your arrival
is pretty suspicious.
I realize that, but
I promise I only came
to get to know my sister
and to pay my respects.
Nora: So I spoke with the
funeral director today.
He said we should
start thinking about
clothes to bury your dad in.
Does that mean that we're
gonna have a service?
No. Not until the police
can release his body.
But we can still do
all the preparations
for when that time comes.
We can pick out his
clothes together.
Or I thought it
might be something
you'd like to do alone.
You know your dad best.
Thanks, Nora.
Moissy Fine Jewelry?
Those are lovely.
Yeah. They're from Leila.
When was she here?
I don't know; I just
found them outside.
"Thank you for being so
welcoming to me last night.
Wishing you all the
comfort and peace
during this difficult
time. Leila."
That's a nice gesture.
The detective spoke
with Leila today.
The alibi she gave
them checked out.
We should invite her for dinner.
You want to do that?
If we have her for dinner,
then we can find why she's here.
She did leave her number.
Tomorrow night doesn't work.
But maybe the following?
Hey.
That guy followed
you here, didn't he?
What?
I'm pretty sure
someone just shot at me
in the parking garage.
OK, don't be ridiculous.
It was probably just
a car backfiring.
Why would anyone come
after you anyway?
Because scaring me
would get you to pay.
You need to deal with this now.
=OK, listen, I may need
your help. My contact here
isn't panning out
the way I thought.
This isn't my mess to clean
up, Brad. I've gotta go.
I've gotta go find
somewhere else to sleep.
Howard: We finally have a break
in your husband's case.
A witness came forward who
was at Baker Crest Park
the night your husband died.
We didn't see who did it,
but we have some
interesting information.
They said that they saw
Scott in the parking lot
with a woman, although they
didn't get a clear description.
Nora, I have to ask again:
were you at Baker Crest Park
the night your husband died?
No, Detective Howard,
we've been over this.
I was here at the
house with my sister.
You've traced my phone.
You've watched my
security camera footage.
Well, if it wasn't you,
there's a possibility
there was another woman.
Was your husband
having an affair?
Take some time, Mrs.
Hyatt. Then call me.
Nora, I just got back into
town, and I heard the news.
I am so sorry about Scott.
Thanks, Maya.
Look, I know we've
had our differences,
and it's mostly my fault,
but if you need any
help... I'm here.
I appreciate that.
I should get back inside.
Of course. Yes. Take care.
Hey.
Hi. You're Violet.
Yeah. That's me,
your secret sister.
I'm really sorry
about everything.
So um, what made
you take a DNA test?
I wanted to know who my dad was.
And your mom never told you?
She didn't tell me
a lot of things.
She wasn't around
much. And when she was,
she definitely wasn't
clean or sober.
Why didn't you take
a DNA test sooner?
Someone really close to
me died three months ago,
and it got me really
thinking - hoping - that
I had family out
there somewhere.
Leila! Welcome, come in!
You didn't need
to bring anything.
Oh, it's not much.
So, when I lost
my foster sister,
it was like my
whole world ended.
How'd it happen?
It was an accident.
Nora: So where are you staying?
Just my car.
Is that safe?
Not really. But it's all
I can afford right now.
She could stay with us.
Pardon?
We have an extra
bedroom for Leila.
I don't want to impose, Nora.
We'd be happy to have you stay.
That'd be nice.
So the bathroom is
right next door.
And you can use the
top drawer in there
for your stuff.
Make yourself at home.
Do you need anything?
I'm fine; the room
is all I need.
Thank you so much for
letting me stay, Nora.
Of course.
Violet?
Hey, I know this
must be hard for you.
Losing your dad. I
show up at your house.
I get the hint you
don't exactly trust me.
What makes you say that?
Because you remind
me a lot of myself
when I was your age.
You want to trust
people but you're afraid
that they'll hurt you...
or that you'll lose them.
How about this. I'll
give you my phone number,
my home address, whatever
you want to know about me.
Here.
Can I help you, Miss?
Uh, yeah. I was wondering
if you could let me know
what this receipt's for.
I'm sorry. I can't give
out that information.
All our sales are private.
OK.
Um, I'll just look
around then. Thanks.
Let me know if you'd
like to see something.
Moissy Fine Jewelry.
How may I help you?
You know I can't take
personal calls at work.
Can't this wait until later?
That's ridiculous,
Tom and you know it.
No! No, I did not
say that to her.
We can deal with this
when I get home tonight.
I've gotta go.
Young lady, what do
you think you're doing?
You're stealing private
customer information.
I'm sorry.
I may need to speak
to your parents.
I don't have any parents.
They're both dead.
OK. Well, you must
have a guardian.
Yeah, here.
You can call her.
Her name's Leila.
I totally thought she was
gonna call the cops on me.
Thanks for bailing me out.
What were you doing
in there anyway?
Uh, I found this
in Dad's pocket.
It's a receipt for a
really expensive necklace
that he bought in cash.
Kinda strange, right?
I'd say so. Do you want
to show it to the cops?
I don't know. I feel
really weird about it.
OK. Why don't you and me
figure it out together?
Violet: You OK?
Yeah.
Isn't your car
parked over there?
I just want to grab a coffee.
I have to ask.
Does Scott have a
history of infidelity?
No. At least... not
that I was aware of.
Leila was born out
of wedlock, right?
Does that mean that Scott was
cheating on his first wife?
No, Leila was conceived
before Scott's marriage.
Remind me, how did the
two of you get together?
We met at a charity event
Yeah, but he was still
married at the time.
God, no! His wife had
already passed away.
Are you trying to insinuate
that I committed adultery?
I'm just doing my
job, Mrs. Hyatt.
Gathering information.
But if we can find evidence
that your husband was
having an affair,
it gives us a good
lead on this case.
OK. Thank you.
Thank you, Mrs. Hyatt.
Hey, Hazel!
This is Leila.
It's very nice to meet you.
You, too.
Um, I was wondering if we could
do that biology tutoring?
Maybe it will get my
mind off of things.
Great. How about tomorrow
morning? Nine-thirty?
Perfect.
I'll see you, girls.
My dad hired her
after my mom died.
She was like our rock.
When did your mom pass away?
Two years ago.
And then Dad started dating
Nora six months later.
So, Nora and your dad
weren't married very long?
He proposed really quickly.
That must have
been hard for you,
to lose your mom and then
your dad remarried so soon.
Yeah. Nora's fine. I never
really gave her a chance.
I was more pissed off at my
dad for remarrying so quickly.
Oh, he was working
a lot, and then
when he'd come home,
I'd try to punish him.
So I wouldn't hang out with him.
But now... I just...
I wish that I did things
differently, that's all.
Can I give you a hug?
Come in.
Can we talk?
Honey, I hesitate even
asking you this, but...
What is it?
Do you think there
was any possibility
that your dad was
having an affair?
Uh, no I don't think so.
So, you're uh, you're not sure?
Did he say something to you?
Dad would never talk to
me about this kinda stuff.
Right. I'm sorry
for even asking.
It's just that the detective
thinks it could be
a real possibility.
Well,
I don't know. So...
Do you want to go
somewhere and talk?
Where?
I don't even care where.
It just feels like this
house is closing in on me.
Maybe the park
up the street? 8
So what was Dad like?
He was... When he walked
into a room, he lit it up.
Everyone loved him.
When I was younger then,
we had so much fun.
We went on a lot of family
trips. I think we visited
like, fifteen
countries or something.
Wow, that's incredible.
You said that your mom
wasn't around a lot?
She was an addict, a
functioning one for a while,
but uh, child services
took me away when I was
around ten and put
me into foster care.
Where is she now?
She overdosed when I
was about your age.
I feel so terrible
for everything
that you've been through.
I've been taking
everything for granted.
What do you mean?
I told you how I treated
Dad this past year.
I made his life so
difficult. And now...
I'll never be able to
tell him I'm sorry.
You're not alone.
We all have things we wish
we'd done differently.
I've experienced a lot of
loss and a lot of regrets
in my life.
And one thing I like to
do is write a letter.
When you're having a
hard time letting go
of the guilt, you
put it into words
and put the letter
in a special place.
I like that.
I'm really happy
that you're here.
Me too.
Brad: Hey, Leila.
I think that guy you
owe money to might know
where I'm staying. You
need to deal with this now.
OK, OK, I'll see what I can do.
Man: I'm getting
impatient, Brad.
Listen, just back off; she
has nothing to do with this.
I'm not gonna back off until
you give me a reason to.
But... Shut up. Get me what you
owe... or she pays the price.
Peter?
I just got the news about Scott!
I'm sorry it took so long
for me to get back to you
but the reception in
the desert is terrible.
But I'm in Dubai now.
There is so much I need
to discuss with you
as soon as possible.
Of course. And the police
still don't have any leads?
No. But, apparently there
was a woman at the scene,
someone he was with
before he died.
Really?
Peter, you've known
Scott a long time.
Did... did he mention
anyone to you?
Someone he might've
been training with?
Or... someone he
might've been seeing.
I wish I knew something, Nora.
Listen, I'm ending my trip
early and heading home.
I've a long flight, but
as soon as I get back,
we can talk about everything.
Thank you, Peter.
Violet, have you
heard from Hazel?
No.
She said she'd be at
the house by eight.
It's almost ten.
She was supposed to
tutor me this morning.
She's never late.
Hey, it's Hazel. Please
leave a message.
Hey, I was just making
breakfast for you and Nora.
Sorry, I gotta run.
But um, I'll eat
when I get back.
Hazel is still not answering.
Violet: I'm just gonna
head over there now.
That's a good idea.
I'll drive you.
We'll be back soon, Leila.
Thank you for making breakfast.
Hi! Are you a
family member?
Yeah, I'm Leila.
Lovely! Maya. Nice to meet
you. I'm the neighbor.
How's Nora doing?
She's holding up OK.
It's hard, of course.
Yes. She should
be back soon.
Do you want me to let
her know you stopped by?
Uh, I don't
think she wants me around.
Really, why?
Oh, it's a long story.
You should come over
for wine sometime.
I'm just around the bend.
House fifty-six twenty-three.
OK. Yeah?
Maybe I will.
Perfect! Bye!
Bye.
Her car is parked.
She should be home.
I know where the spare key is.
OK, get it.
Hazel!
You go check upstairs;
I'll check down here.
Hazel? Hazel, are you here?
Hazel? Norah!
Hazel! Hazel, wake up.
The necklace.
What happened?
Oh, my God!
Violet? We need to call 911.
This is Hazel's phone.
"Scott and I were having an
affair. He broke it off.
I was so angry. It
was an accident.
I didn't mean to kill him.
I can't live with the
guilt of what I've done."
Leila: Did you ever think
something was going on
between Hazel and Dad?
Not at all.
How long do you think they
were having an affair?
Pretty recent.
Hazel had a serious boyfriend
up until six months ago.
I knew Hazel really well.
She was like a
part of the family.
I just... I can't believe
that she would hurt anyone,
especially not Dad.
She overdosed, right?
The cops said so?
Yeah, but something
doesn't add up.
The necklace that
Dad bought in secret,
she was wearing it.
But on the receipt, it said that
it was only bought
like a week ago.
Why would he buy her a necklace
if he was gonna
break up with her?
You think I'm crazy?
No, you're making sense.
What do you want to do?
There was a journal
in Hazel's room.
And I really wanted to grab it,
but then, Nora and
the cops came in.
So you want to go
back and get it?
Yeah, I do.
Nora, let me help you with that.
This is a bunch of
stuff for clients
that Hazel was helping me with.
I'm so sorry about
everything that's happened.
This all feels like a dream.
Or rather, like a nightmare.
If there's anything
I can do to pitch in,
it would be my pleasure.
That's actually not a bad idea.
I'll need someone to
fill Hazel's position.
We can talk about
it more tomorrow,
but if you don't mind,
there's a few errands
I need to get done.
Of course, whatever you need.
Brad: Hi.
Someone is following me.
I told you, I need your...
Get this guy off my back!
Wait...
Violet: Hey, Leila.
Hey, I'm just
finishing a few errands
and I'll pick you up. OK?
OK, thanks.
Violet: You good?
Yeah. I'll wait
here and keep watch.
A three five nine.
Use: for patient
after serious surgery.
What are you doing here?
Is that someone for me?
Hi, can I help you?
I'm Brad. I just moved
into the neighborhood,
a few streets away.
Welcome.
Thank you.
Um, I was out for a walk
and I noticed your
tire was flat.
That's your car, Leila.
I'm pretty handy. I,
uh, would be happy
to put the spare on for you.
That's so nice.
This was the only way I'd
get you to talk to me.
At least I didn't tell your
family who I really was.
That's supposed to
make me feel better?
Look, my contact keeps
cancelling on me.
I've exhausted my
options. I need your help.
That's a
fifty-thousand-dollar watch.
You actually think I'm
going to steal that for you
so you can pay off your debt?
You said you're being followed.
How long do you
think it'll take them
to get to your sister?
Violet's her name, right?
I'll never let
anything happen to her.
You said the same
thing about Iris.
Just get me the watch
by this afternoon.
Gavrow Pharmacy.
Hi, uh, my doctor was
called about a refill
on a prescription.
I was just checking
to see if you got it.
Of course. Name on the account.
The name is Hazel Carter.
Tire all fixed?
Yeah.
If you'd like,
we can go over the personal
assistant position now.
I need someone to
take over for Hazel
as soon as possible.
I'd love that.
Great. So your job
would essentially be
to keep things running
smoothly in the house and
helping out when needed in
my event-planning business.
Errands, setting appointments,
travel arrangements,
driving Violet to
where she needs to be,
that type of thing. If you
wanna stay here, you'll get
room and board as well as
a salary on top of that.
A salary? How much?
It starts at fifty
thousand a year.
Wow.
And when would I get
my first paycheck?
Are you in need of
money right now?
I owe some rent on
my old apartment
and had a couple medical bills.
This job will really
help with all of that.
Just tell me how much you need.
I'm happy to front you the cash.
Is five thousand OK?
Yeah. Thank
you so much, Nora.
I'll go get my check book, OK?
I just called and they
don't have a record
of Hazel's prescription.
Do you think there's a chance
she used a different pharmacy?
Maybe. I just have a
really bad feeling that
maybe those weren't Hazel's
pills, and somebody...
did this to her.
If it wasn't Hazel
who killed him,
then whoever did
this would have known
that he was having an affair...
and that he was running that
night and on which trail.
Did someone have it out for him?
Maybe a colleague
from work or...
or someone who lives nearby?
What do you know about
your neighbor, Maya?
Um... she's been
divorced three times.
And I think she kinda hates me.
This one time I got drunk
and I cut through her yard.
When I met her,
she said Nora didn't
want to talk to her.
What's that about?
Her and Nora never
really got along.
I think that she had a
bit of a crush on Dad.
Do you think she had
something to do with this?
I can try to find out.
Get in.
Here.
What's this?
Five grand. That should help.
You can figure the rest out.
And the watch?
I already told you. I'm not
stealing from my family.
Or from anyone.
I loved you.
But if you wanna do
this the hard way...
Peter: Scott was a close friend
of mine for twenty years.
I've watched Violet grow up.
I still can't believe he's gone.
Thank you, Peter.
I think everyone is just
ready for some closure.
Now that we finally know
what happened to him.
Right, Violet?
I feel like I need to
address the elephant
in the room. Finding out
about Hazel must have been
very difficult for you,
Nora. And you too, Violet.
I feel... betrayed.
Of course.
But despite everything, he
was my husband and I loved
him. It's just something
I need to work through.
But for now, I'd like to
focus on the arrangements.
I'm here for you.
For the both of you.
I'll start digging into
the paperwork and uh,
we can schedule a will-reading
before the service
if you'd like.
Maya: After Scott's first wife
died, we had a thing.
Oh.
I thought it would grow
into something more,
but one night I went
to a charity event.
Scott was there.
And so was Nora.
Of course, they uh, hit it off.
So you were upset he
started dating Nora?
Surprised is more like it.
Anyway, she found out
we used to be an item
and didn't want me around.
Honestly? It is water
under the bridge for me.
But maybe she felt
threatened. Who knows?
Oh, excuse me.
I'm so sorry, my security
camera is so sensitive,
they go off all the time.
Hm.
They sold me a deluxe package.
Little did I know it would
turn out to be FBI-levels
of surveillance.
Did the police ever ask
you for your footage
from the night Scott died?
I was away on a work trip.
So, if they came
knocking, I wasn't home.
Besides, I live far enough
away from Scott's house,
they probably wouldn't
even check here.
Do you mind if I take
a look at the footage?
I'm just curious.
Sure.
I'm sorry. I have to
take this. It's work.
Hi, I'm in a meeting so
please make it brief.
Now that I have you alone,
there's something
you need to know.
What is it?
What I'm about to tell
you is very confidential.
Leila: Wait, can you go
back and zoom in on that car?
Violet: Yeah, that's Faith's
car. Nora's sister.
Leila: You're sure?
Positive.
But wasn't she watching a
movie with Nora that night?
That's what she said.
Could she have gone
for pizza or something?
Maybe, but her car
was gone for an hour.
That's a long time for take-out.
Yeah. It also
doesn't make sense.
Why would they tell the cops
that she was here all night?
How much do you
know about Faith?
She's a special education
teacher. Married.
She seems...
pretty perfect.
Sometimes those are
the people hiding
the biggest secrets.
Stop right there!
No!
Nora! Nora, are you
OK? What's going on?
It's been a long night.
But at least the police
know it was self-defense.
I'm really sorry.
I should have told you
about Brad and his debt.
It's not your fault.
I really did love Brad.
He was a huge part of my
life for such a long time.
He just got into something bad.
And now I'm responsible for it.
No. You won't have to worry
about that much longer.
I'm going to pay
Brad's debt myself.
Thank you, Nora.
We will get through this.
Violet?
Look what I found in
the guest bathroom.
It's the same pill you
found at Hazel's house.
Oh, my God!
We need to talk to Faith.
Faith?
Can I help you?
I'm Leila.
Listen, I'm in a huge rush.
I have a doctor's appointment.
And I won't be
back until 2:30.
Are you a parent?
There's an administrator
inside who can help you.
No, I'm Scott's daughter.
I'm sure Nora told you about me.
What are you doing here?
I was hoping we could
talk in private.
I wanted to ask you
some questions about
what happened to my dad.
You don't already know?
There was a confession.
Yes, but I think
there's a possibility
that Hazel didn't do it.
I'm sorry, uh, you need to
talk to Nora about this.
I really have to go.
Faith, please.
I know you left the
house that night.
What are you talking about?
One of the neighbors has
security camera footage.
Your car left the property.
I haven't gone to the
cops. Not yet anyway.
But I'm sure they'll
want to know why you...
It wasn't me.
I never left the
house that night.
I can't talk right now.
I, I misplaced my pain
medication at Nora's house.
I had a really bad
fall not too long ago.
Your pills are there.
I found them in
the guest bathroom.
Your medication...
it was the same pills
that Hazel overdosed on.
Oh!
Faith! Faith, please, I
just want to talk to you.
Faith, I just wanna talk!
Violet: Do you think that
she'll call Nora and tell her?
I hope not.
What if she doesn't
come back to the school?
She said she'll be
back at 2:30.
OK. I think Nora's coming.
OK. I'll let you go.
Peter is coming over for the
will-reading around six.
Really?
Mm.
So soon? Shouldn't we wait
till after Dad's service?
There's no need to do that.
It's better to take care of
it now for legal reasons.
Please, Leila, I can't talk.
Faith, your medication was
found in Hazel's bedroom.
She overdosed on
those exact pills.
Your car left Nora's house
the night Scott died,
but you told the police you
were there the entire time.
I fell asleep.
What time is it?
It's still early.
You fell asleep.
Oh, I feel so groggy.
You did have some wine.
Geez, what kind of wine was it?
The expensive kind.
Ah. Did I miss
the whole movie?
You fell asleep
about ten minutes in.
Was it any good?
I wouldn't give it five stars,
but the ending was decent.
What happened?
You want me to spoil it?
Go for it. I
won't watch it.
OK, so the
lead character Sandy...
she's got this obsession.
She told me the entire
plot of the movie.
Is it possible that
she watched it already?
Faith, do you think
Nora drugged you?
What? No, she
wouldn't...
Huh.
She told me to park the car
at the end of the driveway
to make room for Scott.
Maybe she did that on purpose
so her security camera
wouldn't pick up your car.
I thought I left my
medication behind
by accident. But I always
keep it in my purse.
Nora could have taken it.
Do you really
think that she planned
this from the beginning?
She invited you
into town, right?
Yes.
Maybe she figured you'd
make a good alibi.
She was right...
until now.
Hi, Violet.
Peter, thank you
for coming over.
Of course.
Oh, um... I
gotta take this.
OK.
Do you wanna come in?
Yeah! OK.
What's happening?
Leila: I'm almost there.
Did Peter arrive?
Violet: Yeah. He just got
here. What about Faith?
She's with me.
Thank God you
convinced her to come.
Just try to keep things
normal until I get there, OK?
Yeah, I can do that.
I'll see you soon.
You're doing the
right thing, Faith.
Violet, would you mind
giving us a few
moments alone, please?
Sure.
Nora, before we get
to the will-reading,
there's something important
that you should know.
I can't do this.
I was going to call you, but
I thought it would be better
to have this
conversation in person.
Peter, you're scaring me.
She's my sister. How can
I look her in the eye?
You know what she did to you.
And I already gave this
information to the police.
What information?
Scott contacted me a week
before I went on vacation
and wanted to revise the will.
What did he want to change?
I promised to
always protect her.
Faith, please.
He requested that
everything goes to Violet.
I find that a
little hard to believe.
He never discussed it with me.
I know this must be
difficult for you to hear.
My husband had an affair
and cut me out of his will?
I would say that "difficult"
is an understatement, Peter.
Leila: Faith, we can't
do this without you.
I'm very sorry, Nora.
I know this must
all come as a shock.
Leila, this is not a good time.
It's over, Nora.
What are you talking about?
I know that you killed my dad.
How could you say
something like that?
Violet, tell me what's going on.
Nora knew about my dad's
affair this whole time.
Peter, that is not true.
Don't believe her.
She's just a child.
Leila: A child, huh? You
mean a kid who figured out
the truth about you, our dad,
Hazel. Drugging your own sister.
How could you accuse me
of such terrible things?
No, I am your stepmother.
I've done everything for you.
And you... I took you
in. I welcomed you
into this family. I gave
you a place to stay!
And paid off your
boyfriend's debt!
You played the role of
a betrayed, grieving,
selfless widow. But now
we all know the truth.
Peter, isn't it obvious
what is going on here?
These two, they are after me.
Nora.
Violet was always
a troublemaker.
Scott and I even
discussed sending her
to one of those
rehabilitation centers.
They're working together;
they're trying to
take Scott's money.
They set me up.
Scott has been a family
friend for a long time.
He wanted Violet
to have everything.
But he didn't have time to
change the will, did he? Hm?
So let's proceed
with the reading.
Scott changed his will with
my partner before he died.
Nora, it's done.
No!
Hey!
Don't you ever touch
my sister again!
I knew nothing good would come
the moment you showed up.
Nora!
Stop!
Faith, what are you doing here?
I called 911.
Faith!
Why would you do this?
Scott did this to me.
He wanted to destroy
me. I had to do this.
Faith, we have been through
the worst of times together.
And we both, we both
do whatever it takes.
Nora. I am nothing like you.
Faith. No. Please.
Your official key.
I already have one.
I know, but it's so much
more fun handing it over.
Here. This is for you.
So? What's next for
the Hyatt sisters?
Well, besides living
here together,
Violet's graduating
high school soon
and going to college
here in Philly.
And I just enrolled in school
to get my real estate license.
That's incredible, girls.
Who knows? Maybe we'll both
own a real estate company
one day just like Dad.
The Hyatt Sisters has a nice
ring to it, right, sis?
Your father would be
so proud of you, girls!
Bring it in.
You two take care
of each other, OK?
Bye.
What's that?
I took your advice, and I
wrote down all the things
that I really wanted to
say to Dad before he died.
It really helped. Thanks.
Do you wanna hear
what I wrote to Dad?
I'd love that.
OK.
Dad. Our memories
together will forever be
my favorite place. I'll
keep them close to my heart
always and use them as
a source of strength.
I will walk down my
wedding aisle alone,
imagining you holding my
arm. When I have kids,
they will know you
from the first moment.
How incredibly loved you
were and dearly missed.
I promise to be everything
you hoped for me,
and I'll be strong,
caring and determined.
Leila and I will take
care of each other
and grow together.
I love you more than
I could express.
This is not goodbye. Simply
until we meet again. Bye.
Call Brad.
Hey, Leila.
I need your help.
Meet me at Iris's.
I'll be right there.
Iris! Oh my God!
No, no! Please. Please
don't die on me.
You're the only family I
have! Oh, my God! Please!
I can't lose you!
What the hell are
you doing here?
What did you do to Iris?
Leila? Is everything...?
Oh my God, what
the hell happened?
We have to call the cops.
No. No, hey, no.
I know how to handle this.
I got in over my head.
But I'm good for it, I promise.
I just need more time.
I know, OK?
Who was that on the phone?
No one.
It's just drama, OK? Nothing
for you to worry about.
What'd you get from the store?
Just some snacks and beer.
I'm not even attracted
to her! You know that!
You were all over
each other in school.
We were just talking.
Can't I have one
conversation with a girl
without you getting jealous?
If that's all you were doing,
I wouldn't have a problem.
Look. I gotta go.
Hey, what are you doing up here?
Oh, hi Hazel.
Uh, I was working
on a school project.
Didn't sound like homework.
Boy trouble?
Look, I've had my fair
share of bad relationships.
Don't give someone
your attention
who doesn't deserve it.
I'm just dropping off
some stuff for Nora.
She's been keeping
me really busy
helping out around
the house. She told me
you're having some
trouble in biology class.
I think your dad's a
bit concerned, too.
So, if you need a
tutor, I'm your gal.
Thanks, Hazel, for
offering to help
and for the relationship advice.
Anytime.
Oh, and if you need help
practicing for your
driver's test...
I don't want my license.
We live in the city;
I can just walk or ride share.
OK, well if you
change your mind,
all you've gotta do is ask.
See ya later.
Violet?
Sorry, I thought
that you were Dad.
No he's working late on
that big work project.
And then he's going for his run.
Right. Marathon
training.
Mm. My sister Faith is
coming into town soon.
I was thinking of
doing a spa day.
Would you like to join us?
I don't like pampering
and stuff. You know that.
I know it's been tough not
having your dad around much.
As soon as his work
project wraps up
and his marathon is over,
I'm sure he'll be home more.
Leila: I thought you were
coming home an hour ago.
I got held up.
Seems like that's
becoming a habit.
What's going on?
Just work stuff.
Does it have something
to do with all the
strange phone calls you've
been getting lately?
Someone slipped
this under the door.
Your neighbor got
it by accident.
Heredity House DNA Testing Kit?
You did one of these?
I did it a couple weeks
ago. Not a big deal
Why didn't you tell me?
Go ahead. Open it.
What. You don't want me to see?
I just need a minute.
Mrs. Hyatt?
Yes.
I'm Detective Howard. Is
your husband Scott Hyatt?
Yes! He's on a run.
I'm just visiting with
my sister right now.
What is this concerning?
May I come in?
Of course.
Howard: Mrs. Hyatt, I
have some bad news.
Your husband's body was
found in Baker Crest Park
on one of the trails
about an hour ago.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Oh, my God!
We have reason to believe
someone was involved
in his death.
The portion of the
trail where he was found
is less busy,
especially at night.
Out here training
for the marathon?
Investigators at the crime scene
say that it appears he was hit
with some type of blunt
force trauma to the head.
Now all we need to
know is who did it.
I should have been there.
He's training for a marathon;
we were supposed
to run it together.
If I was there, he
would still be alive.
I know this is not
the ideal time to ask,
but can you tell me
where you were tonight?
Violet?
Howard: So just
to confirm,
the two of you were here
together all night?
Yes. We were watching
a movie together.
It's my last day in town.
You're planning on
leaving tomorrow?
Uh, hopefully I can
stay a little longer.
I'm just gonna need
to check in with work.
Just give a good contact number.
What do you mean?
Well, as the sole witness to
Mrs. Hyatt's
whereabouts tonight,
we'll just be checking
in on a few things.
Detective, you don't
think that I...?
Unfortunately, in
cases like these,
we need to investigate
the spouse first.
We're just doing
our job, Mrs. Hyatt.
I can't believe this.
Did they say how he died?
I don't know. Why is the
whole world against me?
My mom's dead.
Now my dad.
I feel like I'm cursed.
I have no one.
Hey, that's not true.
You've got me. And Nora.
Look, I know you two
aren't exactly close,
but you're not alone. OK?
Ooh. Violet, honey, I
have some terrible news.
I already know. I
heard the detective.
How did he die?
They don't know yet,
but they suspect it
wasn't an accident.
What do you mean?
Somebody did this to my dad?
We don't know yet, honey.
Did you ask the police?
Did you, did you talk to
them? What did you say?
Violet, of course we asked.
I was worried about you.
I didn't know where you were;
you didn't call or text.
Since when do I ever
let you know where I am?
I let Dad know.
Leila: Oh, my God. I
don't believe this
Something happened to your dad?
It says they have no
leads. How can that be?
It's late. Who the hell is that?
Shh.
Man at door: Come
on, Brad. Open up!
What is going on?
Sh!
I know you're in there, Brad!
Brad, open the door!
Tell me, right now,
what's happening.
I um, I owe someone
a little money.
My bookie. I bet on the
fight last week and now...
How much?
Fifty thousand.
Leila!
Leila! Leila, let
me come with you.
You lied to me! You
put us both in danger.
Look. You're going to
meet your real family
for the first time.
I love you. Let
me be with you.
I'm sorry. I
need space.
Sweetie, this school
thing is a real problem.
I know, Dad!
Violet, look at me.
I know things have been
really hard with you
and I know that you still
miss your mom. I do, too.
It sure doesn't seem like it.
Honey, I will
never stop loving her.
She'll always be a part
of me, a part of us.
Maybe it's time that we went
back to family therapy.
Why? Because that worked
out so well before?
Honey, this is serious.
You heard the
guidance counselor.
If you don't pull
your grades up,
you won't graduate.
I know that maybe you think
that the family therapy
didn't work out.
It didn't work out
because of you!
Ever since Mom died, all
you care about is Nora,
your business, and
that stupid marathon.
I can't wait to move
out of the house
to leave you and Nora behind.
I'm sorry for what I said, Dad.
Nora: In lieu of flowers,
I've asked everyone
to make a donation
to Scott's favorite charity.
Ah, that's perfect. I'm
so sorry I have to leave.
I wish I could stay longer,
but the kids in my class,
they're really struggling
with the substitute.
No, I completely understand.
And thank you so much
for staying here with me
for a few extra days.
Anything for my sister.
What can I do from New York?
Um, help with the arrangements?
No, you have done enough.
And I've got Hazel
here to help me.
Why don't you just get
back to those kids.
And sis. Thank you
for everything.
Uh, I'm just gonna go to school.
I have to grab something
from my locker.
Let me get my car
keys, I'll drive you.
It's OK. I'll walk; I just
really need fresh air.
Hello, sister.
Shane: No, I'm
single. I swear!
So what I'm thinkin'
is, you and I, dinner?
Sorry.
My dad dies and you're still
messing with other
girls behind my back.
Not messin' around
with other girls.
Come on, would I
ever do that to you?
Look, I'm...
I'm done with this. With us!
So what? You're breaking up
with me? Are you serious?
Nora?
Yes.
I'm sorry this is
probably a strange time
for me to show up at your door.
My name is Leila.
I'm Scott's daughter.
I appreciate you sharing
all of this with me, Leila.
And I'm sorry you never
got to meet your father.
He was a wonderful man. In
fact, you remind me of him.
I do? How?
You have his green eyes.
I don't mean to be presumptuous,
but I assume you're here
to talk about Scott's will?
Oh, no. I don't care
about the money.
So, you're just here
to pay your respects?
And, more importantly,
to meet my sister.
She's out right now.
I see... well then...
I guess I'll get going.
I know this isn't the best
time for me to be here.
You mentioned the police
still don't have any leads.
Sadly, not yet.
Would it be OK if I left
my phone number for Violet
just in case she's
interested in connecting?
I'd also love to know
when you have a date
for the memorial service.
Of course!
So does that mean you'll be
staying in town for a bit?
Probably a few weeks.
It's really nice
to meet you, Nora.
Have a good night.
You too, Leila.
Here. I'll walk you.
Good night.
Violet?
I didn't know you were back.
There's something I need
to talk to you about.
I'm not really in the
mood for chit chat.
What is all this?
I'm looking up every
single one of Dad's friends
on social media and I'm
contacting them and asking
them where they were
the night that Dad died.
Honey, the police are
already doing that.
Days ago! It's been days. We
don't have even one clue.
I mean, Detective Howard?
He questioned us.
Who else is he even
talking to? Anyone?
It takes time, Violet.
Well, I want to know
who killed my dad,
so I'm not just gonna
sit here waiting around.
I understand. But...
We had a visit from a woman.
She is... your half sister.
Excuse me?
Your dad, a long time
ago before you were born,
he fathered a child.
He never knew.
Well, it's convenient
for her to show up now.
She seemed sincere...
but I will be calling the
detective to tell him.
We certainly can't
take any chances.
What's her name?
Leila Moore.
Leila!
You followed me here?
Hey. Don't be mad, OK?
I told you I wanted space.
It's not OK to track
me down like this.
I know. I just...
tried calling you.
What about the money you owe?
What if they followed you here?
I gotta guy here in
Philly. He can help me out.
I can't believe this.
Why don't I get us a motel room?
No. Look, the truth is,
things haven't been good
between us for a while now.
And after this whole crazy mess,
I think it's best
if we both moved on.
So you have a new family and
you're throwing me away?
That's not what I'm doing.
I wonder how they'd
feel if they knew
you murdered someone.
How could you say that?
That was self-defense
and you know that!
Yeah, you're right. You're
right. I was outta line.
Just leave me alone!
Nora: That's really all
I know about Leila
from our conversation
Howard: Did she say
where she was staying?
No, she didn't. I
should've asked.
She has a vehicle?
I noticed she was
driving a small SUV.
We can look up any vehicle
registered to her name.
OK. Thank you.
What did the detective say?
They want to talk to Leila.
I just... I keep getting
this awful feeling.
I just want time to
grieve my husband.
How could they think I would
do something like this?
I'm so sorry, Nora. I know
how hard this is for you.
Thank you for being
here with me, Hazel.
Hm.
Howard: Is there someone in
Atlanta I can speak to
who can vouch for your
whereabouts the night
of Mr. Hyatt's murder?
Laila: I think I ordered
some takeout that night.
There should be a receipt.
I'm gonna level
with you, Ms. Moore.
The timing of your arrival
is pretty suspicious.
I realize that, but
I promise I only came
to get to know my sister
and to pay my respects.
Nora: So I spoke with the
funeral director today.
He said we should
start thinking about
clothes to bury your dad in.
Does that mean that we're
gonna have a service?
No. Not until the police
can release his body.
But we can still do
all the preparations
for when that time comes.
We can pick out his
clothes together.
Or I thought it
might be something
you'd like to do alone.
You know your dad best.
Thanks, Nora.
Moissy Fine Jewelry?
Those are lovely.
Yeah. They're from Leila.
When was she here?
I don't know; I just
found them outside.
"Thank you for being so
welcoming to me last night.
Wishing you all the
comfort and peace
during this difficult
time. Leila."
That's a nice gesture.
The detective spoke
with Leila today.
The alibi she gave
them checked out.
We should invite her for dinner.
You want to do that?
If we have her for dinner,
then we can find why she's here.
She did leave her number.
Tomorrow night doesn't work.
But maybe the following?
Hey.
That guy followed
you here, didn't he?
What?
I'm pretty sure
someone just shot at me
in the parking garage.
OK, don't be ridiculous.
It was probably just
a car backfiring.
Why would anyone come
after you anyway?
Because scaring me
would get you to pay.
You need to deal with this now.
=OK, listen, I may need
your help. My contact here
isn't panning out
the way I thought.
This isn't my mess to clean
up, Brad. I've gotta go.
I've gotta go find
somewhere else to sleep.
Howard: We finally have a break
in your husband's case.
A witness came forward who
was at Baker Crest Park
the night your husband died.
We didn't see who did it,
but we have some
interesting information.
They said that they saw
Scott in the parking lot
with a woman, although they
didn't get a clear description.
Nora, I have to ask again:
were you at Baker Crest Park
the night your husband died?
No, Detective Howard,
we've been over this.
I was here at the
house with my sister.
You've traced my phone.
You've watched my
security camera footage.
Well, if it wasn't you,
there's a possibility
there was another woman.
Was your husband
having an affair?
Take some time, Mrs.
Hyatt. Then call me.
Nora, I just got back into
town, and I heard the news.
I am so sorry about Scott.
Thanks, Maya.
Look, I know we've
had our differences,
and it's mostly my fault,
but if you need any
help... I'm here.
I appreciate that.
I should get back inside.
Of course. Yes. Take care.
Hey.
Hi. You're Violet.
Yeah. That's me,
your secret sister.
I'm really sorry
about everything.
So um, what made
you take a DNA test?
I wanted to know who my dad was.
And your mom never told you?
She didn't tell me
a lot of things.
She wasn't around
much. And when she was,
she definitely wasn't
clean or sober.
Why didn't you take
a DNA test sooner?
Someone really close to
me died three months ago,
and it got me really
thinking - hoping - that
I had family out
there somewhere.
Leila! Welcome, come in!
You didn't need
to bring anything.
Oh, it's not much.
So, when I lost
my foster sister,
it was like my
whole world ended.
How'd it happen?
It was an accident.
Nora: So where are you staying?
Just my car.
Is that safe?
Not really. But it's all
I can afford right now.
She could stay with us.
Pardon?
We have an extra
bedroom for Leila.
I don't want to impose, Nora.
We'd be happy to have you stay.
That'd be nice.
So the bathroom is
right next door.
And you can use the
top drawer in there
for your stuff.
Make yourself at home.
Do you need anything?
I'm fine; the room
is all I need.
Thank you so much for
letting me stay, Nora.
Of course.
Violet?
Hey, I know this
must be hard for you.
Losing your dad. I
show up at your house.
I get the hint you
don't exactly trust me.
What makes you say that?
Because you remind
me a lot of myself
when I was your age.
You want to trust
people but you're afraid
that they'll hurt you...
or that you'll lose them.
How about this. I'll
give you my phone number,
my home address, whatever
you want to know about me.
Here.
Can I help you, Miss?
Uh, yeah. I was wondering
if you could let me know
what this receipt's for.
I'm sorry. I can't give
out that information.
All our sales are private.
OK.
Um, I'll just look
around then. Thanks.
Let me know if you'd
like to see something.
Moissy Fine Jewelry.
How may I help you?
You know I can't take
personal calls at work.
Can't this wait until later?
That's ridiculous,
Tom and you know it.
No! No, I did not
say that to her.
We can deal with this
when I get home tonight.
I've gotta go.
Young lady, what do
you think you're doing?
You're stealing private
customer information.
I'm sorry.
I may need to speak
to your parents.
I don't have any parents.
They're both dead.
OK. Well, you must
have a guardian.
Yeah, here.
You can call her.
Her name's Leila.
I totally thought she was
gonna call the cops on me.
Thanks for bailing me out.
What were you doing
in there anyway?
Uh, I found this
in Dad's pocket.
It's a receipt for a
really expensive necklace
that he bought in cash.
Kinda strange, right?
I'd say so. Do you want
to show it to the cops?
I don't know. I feel
really weird about it.
OK. Why don't you and me
figure it out together?
Violet: You OK?
Yeah.
Isn't your car
parked over there?
I just want to grab a coffee.
I have to ask.
Does Scott have a
history of infidelity?
No. At least... not
that I was aware of.
Leila was born out
of wedlock, right?
Does that mean that Scott was
cheating on his first wife?
No, Leila was conceived
before Scott's marriage.
Remind me, how did the
two of you get together?
We met at a charity event
Yeah, but he was still
married at the time.
God, no! His wife had
already passed away.
Are you trying to insinuate
that I committed adultery?
I'm just doing my
job, Mrs. Hyatt.
Gathering information.
But if we can find evidence
that your husband was
having an affair,
it gives us a good
lead on this case.
OK. Thank you.
Thank you, Mrs. Hyatt.
Hey, Hazel!
This is Leila.
It's very nice to meet you.
You, too.
Um, I was wondering if we could
do that biology tutoring?
Maybe it will get my
mind off of things.
Great. How about tomorrow
morning? Nine-thirty?
Perfect.
I'll see you, girls.
My dad hired her
after my mom died.
She was like our rock.
When did your mom pass away?
Two years ago.
And then Dad started dating
Nora six months later.
So, Nora and your dad
weren't married very long?
He proposed really quickly.
That must have
been hard for you,
to lose your mom and then
your dad remarried so soon.
Yeah. Nora's fine. I never
really gave her a chance.
I was more pissed off at my
dad for remarrying so quickly.
Oh, he was working
a lot, and then
when he'd come home,
I'd try to punish him.
So I wouldn't hang out with him.
But now... I just...
I wish that I did things
differently, that's all.
Can I give you a hug?
Come in.
Can we talk?
Honey, I hesitate even
asking you this, but...
What is it?
Do you think there
was any possibility
that your dad was
having an affair?
Uh, no I don't think so.
So, you're uh, you're not sure?
Did he say something to you?
Dad would never talk to
me about this kinda stuff.
Right. I'm sorry
for even asking.
It's just that the detective
thinks it could be
a real possibility.
Well,
I don't know. So...
Do you want to go
somewhere and talk?
Where?
I don't even care where.
It just feels like this
house is closing in on me.
Maybe the park
up the street? 8
So what was Dad like?
He was... When he walked
into a room, he lit it up.
Everyone loved him.
When I was younger then,
we had so much fun.
We went on a lot of family
trips. I think we visited
like, fifteen
countries or something.
Wow, that's incredible.
You said that your mom
wasn't around a lot?
She was an addict, a
functioning one for a while,
but uh, child services
took me away when I was
around ten and put
me into foster care.
Where is she now?
She overdosed when I
was about your age.
I feel so terrible
for everything
that you've been through.
I've been taking
everything for granted.
What do you mean?
I told you how I treated
Dad this past year.
I made his life so
difficult. And now...
I'll never be able to
tell him I'm sorry.
You're not alone.
We all have things we wish
we'd done differently.
I've experienced a lot of
loss and a lot of regrets
in my life.
And one thing I like to
do is write a letter.
When you're having a
hard time letting go
of the guilt, you
put it into words
and put the letter
in a special place.
I like that.
I'm really happy
that you're here.
Me too.
Brad: Hey, Leila.
I think that guy you
owe money to might know
where I'm staying. You
need to deal with this now.
OK, OK, I'll see what I can do.
Man: I'm getting
impatient, Brad.
Listen, just back off; she
has nothing to do with this.
I'm not gonna back off until
you give me a reason to.
But... Shut up. Get me what you
owe... or she pays the price.
Peter?
I just got the news about Scott!
I'm sorry it took so long
for me to get back to you
but the reception in
the desert is terrible.
But I'm in Dubai now.
There is so much I need
to discuss with you
as soon as possible.
Of course. And the police
still don't have any leads?
No. But, apparently there
was a woman at the scene,
someone he was with
before he died.
Really?
Peter, you've known
Scott a long time.
Did... did he mention
anyone to you?
Someone he might've
been training with?
Or... someone he
might've been seeing.
I wish I knew something, Nora.
Listen, I'm ending my trip
early and heading home.
I've a long flight, but
as soon as I get back,
we can talk about everything.
Thank you, Peter.
Violet, have you
heard from Hazel?
No.
She said she'd be at
the house by eight.
It's almost ten.
She was supposed to
tutor me this morning.
She's never late.
Hey, it's Hazel. Please
leave a message.
Hey, I was just making
breakfast for you and Nora.
Sorry, I gotta run.
But um, I'll eat
when I get back.
Hazel is still not answering.
Violet: I'm just gonna
head over there now.
That's a good idea.
I'll drive you.
We'll be back soon, Leila.
Thank you for making breakfast.
Hi! Are you a
family member?
Yeah, I'm Leila.
Lovely! Maya. Nice to meet
you. I'm the neighbor.
How's Nora doing?
She's holding up OK.
It's hard, of course.
Yes. She should
be back soon.
Do you want me to let
her know you stopped by?
Uh, I don't
think she wants me around.
Really, why?
Oh, it's a long story.
You should come over
for wine sometime.
I'm just around the bend.
House fifty-six twenty-three.
OK. Yeah?
Maybe I will.
Perfect! Bye!
Bye.
Her car is parked.
She should be home.
I know where the spare key is.
OK, get it.
Hazel!
You go check upstairs;
I'll check down here.
Hazel? Hazel, are you here?
Hazel? Norah!
Hazel! Hazel, wake up.
The necklace.
What happened?
Oh, my God!
Violet? We need to call 911.
This is Hazel's phone.
"Scott and I were having an
affair. He broke it off.
I was so angry. It
was an accident.
I didn't mean to kill him.
I can't live with the
guilt of what I've done."
Leila: Did you ever think
something was going on
between Hazel and Dad?
Not at all.
How long do you think they
were having an affair?
Pretty recent.
Hazel had a serious boyfriend
up until six months ago.
I knew Hazel really well.
She was like a
part of the family.
I just... I can't believe
that she would hurt anyone,
especially not Dad.
She overdosed, right?
The cops said so?
Yeah, but something
doesn't add up.
The necklace that
Dad bought in secret,
she was wearing it.
But on the receipt, it said that
it was only bought
like a week ago.
Why would he buy her a necklace
if he was gonna
break up with her?
You think I'm crazy?
No, you're making sense.
What do you want to do?
There was a journal
in Hazel's room.
And I really wanted to grab it,
but then, Nora and
the cops came in.
So you want to go
back and get it?
Yeah, I do.
Nora, let me help you with that.
This is a bunch of
stuff for clients
that Hazel was helping me with.
I'm so sorry about
everything that's happened.
This all feels like a dream.
Or rather, like a nightmare.
If there's anything
I can do to pitch in,
it would be my pleasure.
That's actually not a bad idea.
I'll need someone to
fill Hazel's position.
We can talk about
it more tomorrow,
but if you don't mind,
there's a few errands
I need to get done.
Of course, whatever you need.
Brad: Hi.
Someone is following me.
I told you, I need your...
Get this guy off my back!
Wait...
Violet: Hey, Leila.
Hey, I'm just
finishing a few errands
and I'll pick you up. OK?
OK, thanks.
Violet: You good?
Yeah. I'll wait
here and keep watch.
A three five nine.
Use: for patient
after serious surgery.
What are you doing here?
Is that someone for me?
Hi, can I help you?
I'm Brad. I just moved
into the neighborhood,
a few streets away.
Welcome.
Thank you.
Um, I was out for a walk
and I noticed your
tire was flat.
That's your car, Leila.
I'm pretty handy. I,
uh, would be happy
to put the spare on for you.
That's so nice.
This was the only way I'd
get you to talk to me.
At least I didn't tell your
family who I really was.
That's supposed to
make me feel better?
Look, my contact keeps
cancelling on me.
I've exhausted my
options. I need your help.
That's a
fifty-thousand-dollar watch.
You actually think I'm
going to steal that for you
so you can pay off your debt?
You said you're being followed.
How long do you
think it'll take them
to get to your sister?
Violet's her name, right?
I'll never let
anything happen to her.
You said the same
thing about Iris.
Just get me the watch
by this afternoon.
Gavrow Pharmacy.
Hi, uh, my doctor was
called about a refill
on a prescription.
I was just checking
to see if you got it.
Of course. Name on the account.
The name is Hazel Carter.
Tire all fixed?
Yeah.
If you'd like,
we can go over the personal
assistant position now.
I need someone to
take over for Hazel
as soon as possible.
I'd love that.
Great. So your job
would essentially be
to keep things running
smoothly in the house and
helping out when needed in
my event-planning business.
Errands, setting appointments,
travel arrangements,
driving Violet to
where she needs to be,
that type of thing. If you
wanna stay here, you'll get
room and board as well as
a salary on top of that.
A salary? How much?
It starts at fifty
thousand a year.
Wow.
And when would I get
my first paycheck?
Are you in need of
money right now?
I owe some rent on
my old apartment
and had a couple medical bills.
This job will really
help with all of that.
Just tell me how much you need.
I'm happy to front you the cash.
Is five thousand OK?
Yeah. Thank
you so much, Nora.
I'll go get my check book, OK?
I just called and they
don't have a record
of Hazel's prescription.
Do you think there's a chance
she used a different pharmacy?
Maybe. I just have a
really bad feeling that
maybe those weren't Hazel's
pills, and somebody...
did this to her.
If it wasn't Hazel
who killed him,
then whoever did
this would have known
that he was having an affair...
and that he was running that
night and on which trail.
Did someone have it out for him?
Maybe a colleague
from work or...
or someone who lives nearby?
What do you know about
your neighbor, Maya?
Um... she's been
divorced three times.
And I think she kinda hates me.
This one time I got drunk
and I cut through her yard.
When I met her,
she said Nora didn't
want to talk to her.
What's that about?
Her and Nora never
really got along.
I think that she had a
bit of a crush on Dad.
Do you think she had
something to do with this?
I can try to find out.
Get in.
Here.
What's this?
Five grand. That should help.
You can figure the rest out.
And the watch?
I already told you. I'm not
stealing from my family.
Or from anyone.
I loved you.
But if you wanna do
this the hard way...
Peter: Scott was a close friend
of mine for twenty years.
I've watched Violet grow up.
I still can't believe he's gone.
Thank you, Peter.
I think everyone is just
ready for some closure.
Now that we finally know
what happened to him.
Right, Violet?
I feel like I need to
address the elephant
in the room. Finding out
about Hazel must have been
very difficult for you,
Nora. And you too, Violet.
I feel... betrayed.
Of course.
But despite everything, he
was my husband and I loved
him. It's just something
I need to work through.
But for now, I'd like to
focus on the arrangements.
I'm here for you.
For the both of you.
I'll start digging into
the paperwork and uh,
we can schedule a will-reading
before the service
if you'd like.
Maya: After Scott's first wife
died, we had a thing.
Oh.
I thought it would grow
into something more,
but one night I went
to a charity event.
Scott was there.
And so was Nora.
Of course, they uh, hit it off.
So you were upset he
started dating Nora?
Surprised is more like it.
Anyway, she found out
we used to be an item
and didn't want me around.
Honestly? It is water
under the bridge for me.
But maybe she felt
threatened. Who knows?
Oh, excuse me.
I'm so sorry, my security
camera is so sensitive,
they go off all the time.
Hm.
They sold me a deluxe package.
Little did I know it would
turn out to be FBI-levels
of surveillance.
Did the police ever ask
you for your footage
from the night Scott died?
I was away on a work trip.
So, if they came
knocking, I wasn't home.
Besides, I live far enough
away from Scott's house,
they probably wouldn't
even check here.
Do you mind if I take
a look at the footage?
I'm just curious.
Sure.
I'm sorry. I have to
take this. It's work.
Hi, I'm in a meeting so
please make it brief.
Now that I have you alone,
there's something
you need to know.
What is it?
What I'm about to tell
you is very confidential.
Leila: Wait, can you go
back and zoom in on that car?
Violet: Yeah, that's Faith's
car. Nora's sister.
Leila: You're sure?
Positive.
But wasn't she watching a
movie with Nora that night?
That's what she said.
Could she have gone
for pizza or something?
Maybe, but her car
was gone for an hour.
That's a long time for take-out.
Yeah. It also
doesn't make sense.
Why would they tell the cops
that she was here all night?
How much do you
know about Faith?
She's a special education
teacher. Married.
She seems...
pretty perfect.
Sometimes those are
the people hiding
the biggest secrets.
Stop right there!
No!
Nora! Nora, are you
OK? What's going on?
It's been a long night.
But at least the police
know it was self-defense.
I'm really sorry.
I should have told you
about Brad and his debt.
It's not your fault.
I really did love Brad.
He was a huge part of my
life for such a long time.
He just got into something bad.
And now I'm responsible for it.
No. You won't have to worry
about that much longer.
I'm going to pay
Brad's debt myself.
Thank you, Nora.
We will get through this.
Violet?
Look what I found in
the guest bathroom.
It's the same pill you
found at Hazel's house.
Oh, my God!
We need to talk to Faith.
Faith?
Can I help you?
I'm Leila.
Listen, I'm in a huge rush.
I have a doctor's appointment.
And I won't be
back until 2:30.
Are you a parent?
There's an administrator
inside who can help you.
No, I'm Scott's daughter.
I'm sure Nora told you about me.
What are you doing here?
I was hoping we could
talk in private.
I wanted to ask you
some questions about
what happened to my dad.
You don't already know?
There was a confession.
Yes, but I think
there's a possibility
that Hazel didn't do it.
I'm sorry, uh, you need to
talk to Nora about this.
I really have to go.
Faith, please.
I know you left the
house that night.
What are you talking about?
One of the neighbors has
security camera footage.
Your car left the property.
I haven't gone to the
cops. Not yet anyway.
But I'm sure they'll
want to know why you...
It wasn't me.
I never left the
house that night.
I can't talk right now.
I, I misplaced my pain
medication at Nora's house.
I had a really bad
fall not too long ago.
Your pills are there.
I found them in
the guest bathroom.
Your medication...
it was the same pills
that Hazel overdosed on.
Oh!
Faith! Faith, please, I
just want to talk to you.
Faith, I just wanna talk!
Violet: Do you think that
she'll call Nora and tell her?
I hope not.
What if she doesn't
come back to the school?
She said she'll be
back at 2:30.
OK. I think Nora's coming.
OK. I'll let you go.
Peter is coming over for the
will-reading around six.
Really?
Mm.
So soon? Shouldn't we wait
till after Dad's service?
There's no need to do that.
It's better to take care of
it now for legal reasons.
Please, Leila, I can't talk.
Faith, your medication was
found in Hazel's bedroom.
She overdosed on
those exact pills.
Your car left Nora's house
the night Scott died,
but you told the police you
were there the entire time.
I fell asleep.
What time is it?
It's still early.
You fell asleep.
Oh, I feel so groggy.
You did have some wine.
Geez, what kind of wine was it?
The expensive kind.
Ah. Did I miss
the whole movie?
You fell asleep
about ten minutes in.
Was it any good?
I wouldn't give it five stars,
but the ending was decent.
What happened?
You want me to spoil it?
Go for it. I
won't watch it.
OK, so the
lead character Sandy...
she's got this obsession.
She told me the entire
plot of the movie.
Is it possible that
she watched it already?
Faith, do you think
Nora drugged you?
What? No, she
wouldn't...
Huh.
She told me to park the car
at the end of the driveway
to make room for Scott.
Maybe she did that on purpose
so her security camera
wouldn't pick up your car.
I thought I left my
medication behind
by accident. But I always
keep it in my purse.
Nora could have taken it.
Do you really
think that she planned
this from the beginning?
She invited you
into town, right?
Yes.
Maybe she figured you'd
make a good alibi.
She was right...
until now.
Hi, Violet.
Peter, thank you
for coming over.
Of course.
Oh, um... I
gotta take this.
OK.
Do you wanna come in?
Yeah! OK.
What's happening?
Leila: I'm almost there.
Did Peter arrive?
Violet: Yeah. He just got
here. What about Faith?
She's with me.
Thank God you
convinced her to come.
Just try to keep things
normal until I get there, OK?
Yeah, I can do that.
I'll see you soon.
You're doing the
right thing, Faith.
Violet, would you mind
giving us a few
moments alone, please?
Sure.
Nora, before we get
to the will-reading,
there's something important
that you should know.
I can't do this.
I was going to call you, but
I thought it would be better
to have this
conversation in person.
Peter, you're scaring me.
She's my sister. How can
I look her in the eye?
You know what she did to you.
And I already gave this
information to the police.
What information?
Scott contacted me a week
before I went on vacation
and wanted to revise the will.
What did he want to change?
I promised to
always protect her.
Faith, please.
He requested that
everything goes to Violet.
I find that a
little hard to believe.
He never discussed it with me.
I know this must be
difficult for you to hear.
My husband had an affair
and cut me out of his will?
I would say that "difficult"
is an understatement, Peter.
Leila: Faith, we can't
do this without you.
I'm very sorry, Nora.
I know this must
all come as a shock.
Leila, this is not a good time.
It's over, Nora.
What are you talking about?
I know that you killed my dad.
How could you say
something like that?
Violet, tell me what's going on.
Nora knew about my dad's
affair this whole time.
Peter, that is not true.
Don't believe her.
She's just a child.
Leila: A child, huh? You
mean a kid who figured out
the truth about you, our dad,
Hazel. Drugging your own sister.
How could you accuse me
of such terrible things?
No, I am your stepmother.
I've done everything for you.
And you... I took you
in. I welcomed you
into this family. I gave
you a place to stay!
And paid off your
boyfriend's debt!
You played the role of
a betrayed, grieving,
selfless widow. But now
we all know the truth.
Peter, isn't it obvious
what is going on here?
These two, they are after me.
Nora.
Violet was always
a troublemaker.
Scott and I even
discussed sending her
to one of those
rehabilitation centers.
They're working together;
they're trying to
take Scott's money.
They set me up.
Scott has been a family
friend for a long time.
He wanted Violet
to have everything.
But he didn't have time to
change the will, did he? Hm?
So let's proceed
with the reading.
Scott changed his will with
my partner before he died.
Nora, it's done.
No!
Hey!
Don't you ever touch
my sister again!
I knew nothing good would come
the moment you showed up.
Nora!
Stop!
Faith, what are you doing here?
I called 911.
Faith!
Why would you do this?
Scott did this to me.
He wanted to destroy
me. I had to do this.
Faith, we have been through
the worst of times together.
And we both, we both
do whatever it takes.
Nora. I am nothing like you.
Faith. No. Please.
Your official key.
I already have one.
I know, but it's so much
more fun handing it over.
Here. This is for you.
So? What's next for
the Hyatt sisters?
Well, besides living
here together,
Violet's graduating
high school soon
and going to college
here in Philly.
And I just enrolled in school
to get my real estate license.
That's incredible, girls.
Who knows? Maybe we'll both
own a real estate company
one day just like Dad.
The Hyatt Sisters has a nice
ring to it, right, sis?
Your father would be
so proud of you, girls!
Bring it in.
You two take care
of each other, OK?
Bye.
What's that?
I took your advice, and I
wrote down all the things
that I really wanted to
say to Dad before he died.
It really helped. Thanks.
Do you wanna hear
what I wrote to Dad?
I'd love that.
OK.
Dad. Our memories
together will forever be
my favorite place. I'll
keep them close to my heart
always and use them as
a source of strength.
I will walk down my
wedding aisle alone,
imagining you holding my
arm. When I have kids,
they will know you
from the first moment.
How incredibly loved you
were and dearly missed.
I promise to be everything
you hoped for me,
and I'll be strong,
caring and determined.
Leila and I will take
care of each other
and grow together.
I love you more than
I could express.
This is not goodbye. Simply
until we meet again. Bye.
