Apples Never Fall (2024) s01e04 Episode Script
Brooke

Previously on "Apples Never Fall"
I'm joined today by the Delaney family
as we make it known to the public
that Joy Delaney has gone missing.
Stan Delaney, did you kill your wife?
Dad took out one of my rental boats
the night that Mom went missing.
I found out from the security logs.
You should be with
your family right now.
Or at the very least,
blowing through your grief
with some senseless activity.
Tarin, this is my fiancée, Brooke.
Now I'm not even sure the cops
are even looking at Savannah.
Is there anything else that
you can remember about her?
I can't. Sorry.
My family thinks I'm crazy.
I don't.
The forensic team just
brought something they
found in Joy's nightstand.
It's clear about
intention to self-harm.
Is this you, Amy?
Mom saved me every day.
You really ought to put
the screws to Brooke.
She fucked Savannah a lot.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Anybody here?
Hey, Brooke.

[KNIFE CLANGS]
- You really didn't have to help.
- Are you kidding?
I wasn't going to let you clean up this
Delaney mess all on your own.
- So who asked who?
- Hm?
Gina. Who proposed?
Well, it wasn't really like that.
It was more of a conversation.
A joint decision we just sort of made.
Your mom has so many ideas.
The flowers, the DJ, the chargers.
Yeah, I think my mom's more
excited about this wedding than I am.
Oh, that's not good.
I'm kidding. Of course
of course I'm excited.
I'm Gina, she's amazing.
What's up with that waitress?
What?
Who?
I saw the way she was looking at Gina,
and the way Gina was looking at her.
If I were in your shoes,
I'd be freaking out too.
I saw something.
A text message.
What did Gina say when
you asked her about it?
Uh
You didn't ask her about it, did you?
I think Gina is an idiot.
I wouldn't cheat on you.
Sorry, what was that?
I'm just saying, she
doesn't cherish you.
If you were mine, I'd
treat you like a princess.

- What were you thinking?
- I don't know.
Excuse me?
- I don't know what I was thinking.
- We're trying to find your mom,
and you've been withholding information.
You're you're bordering
on obstruction of justice.
It was a stupid mistake, OK?
But it has nothing to do with my mom.
You sure about that?
Because you don't know
what happened to your mom,
and we don't know
anything about Savannah.
What can you tell us about her?
Any other names she went
by, where she was from?
Savannah was the only
name that she ever used.
Um, she said she was from Atlanta.
She had a little tattoo on
her ankle, a little palm tree.
And uh, she had a scar on her stomach.
What did you talk about when
it was just the two of you?
Uh, my family, my
my physical therapy practice.
- Um, my wedding.
- Ever talk about her?
Well, not that much, I guess.
Was she ever violent, jealous?
Um, violent, no.
Jealous, maybe a little, but
it was a complicated situation.
How'd things end between you?
It was never going to work. I'm engaged.
Did you ever hear from her?
No.
- Never.
- When was the last time you had contact?
Same as everyone else in my family.
About seven months ago.
You have any way to
get in touch with her?
Address, phone, email?
If if I knew where she
was, I would tell you, I swear.
You're going to find her, right?
Savannah?
My mom.

Hey. Hey, it's me.
I miss you.
Um, hey, is this thing
happening tonight?
Just with the storm, I didn't know.
So um, yeah, call me.
Hey.
How's it going, Romeo?
It's not fucking funny, Troy.
[LAUGHS] Come on, it's
a little bit funny.
Cheater, bootlicker,
rich prick, hot mess,
missing and probably dead.
- Uh
- Murderer.
Oh, are you still sure about that?
Never a good sign when even your
tennis club buddies think you're guilty.
Sure. But no body.
Nope.
But where is Joy, then?
I'm not going to lie, the
Savannah stuff, it's weird.
Stranger shows up, moves into
the house, charms the mom
Sleeps with the daughter.
But the thing that is weirdest of all
is that no one in the family
seems to know a damn thing
about her, other than she
makes good French toast
and chicken cacciatore.
- Hey.
- I wanted to know if you checked the knives
- from the Delaney house.
- Yeah. No blood.
No, I mean for prints.
Uh, no. We don't usually do that.
What are you thinking?
Well, she was cooking
all the time, right?
- Yeah.
- If she repeatedly touched this stuff,
maybe we can pull a print.
If the girl with the
fake name's got a record,
we might get a hit.
Check the block, too.
People wash knives, but
they never wash the block.

you waiting up for me and comforting me,
and doing,

It was really nice.

Did you love Claire when you

Why'd you do it?
Asking for a friend.
I don't know.
I didn't know how to fix it.
So I, you know, broke it instead.
It's gonna work out.

Honestly, I have no idea, OK?

I was too tired to drive home.
How is Mom?
She's fine. She'll be home soon.
Breakfast, anyone?

- I have a client in an hour.
I've got to get back to the hospital.
Take a seat, you two.
I'll whip up something real quick.
Hey, Loge.
Dad.
Wow. Really?
What did you expect?
You fucked a grifter, and
then you lied about it.
I already feel like shit, OK?
You don't need to make it worse.
Oh, my God.
Babe, you're back.
I was so worried.
OK, your family's being weird.
Like, weirder than normal.
What the hell's going on?
Uh, I uh, I don't know.
- What happened last night?
- Nothing happened.
You didn't come home.
Then this morning,
Logan said that you
you were at the police station?
Is this something to do with your mom?
Should I be scared?
The detectives had some
questions about her,
and about Savannah.
They think she might have
something to do with all this.
Oh, wow. Oh, OK.
Um
why why are they talking
to you about Savannah?
Your dad, he's the one
that's been living with her.
Why aren't they talking to him?
Um, look,
G, there's something I have to tell you.
Some something I should
have told you a while ago.
What is it?
I
I know you're sleeping with Tarin.
- What?
- Tarin, from the restaurant.
Yeah, I I know who she
is. I'm not sleeping with her.
I saw your phone.
- The photo she sent you.
- When? What photo?
The same night you offered me
the money to help my practice.
Is that why you did it?
So you could feel better
about cheating on me?
I gave you that money because I love you
and I believe in you.
I never slept with her.
Wait, what?
You never slept
We talked a lot.
We flirted.
Yes, she sent a pic, which
which is fucked, I know.
But I I never crossed that line.
It was only for a few
weeks. I cut it off.
Why are you asking me about
this after all this time?
- She she still calls you.
- She works for me.
She runs the front of the house.
If she's not calling me,
she's not doing her job.
So what, it was an emotional affair?
No.
Maybe. I don't know.
I got I got lonely.
You can be really distant
sometimes, you know,
when you're going through some shit.
You just shut down.
- So this is my fault?
- No, that's not what I'm saying.
We're engaged. Does
that mean nothing to you?
It means everything to me,
which is why I didn't cheat.
OK. Uh, OK.
Come on. Let me fix this.
Tell me what to do. I'll do
anything what do you want.

We got her. Forensics pulled the prints.
Off the block?
They get a hit?
Three. They got three hits.
Each alias arrested
in a different state.
Hm.
We got the DNA results
back from the jacket.
It was Joy's blood, but
it was all Joy's blood.
No Stan's or anyone else's.
Any of these Savannah aliases
pop up anywhere recently?
Or maybe maybe Joy
communicated with one of them?
Yeah. Joy's texts, emails.
Combed through it all. Nothing.
But that doesn't mean
we don't have a lead.
One of the aliases, Amelia Howard,
lists a known associate,
and he lives in Florida.
Brevard County.
That's only 100 miles away.
When did it start?
Your birthday.
After Mom went to the hospital.
I came back here to help clean up,
and we, um it just happened.
Oh.
And all those times you
came over to help your mom?
- Yeah.
- Ah.
And Gina.
She's the best. She's one of a kind.
What you did to her is unforgivable.

Hey, what's this one?
Pensacola.
Yeah, that's where I met Joy.
Uh, I placed fourth, and
she won the ladies' division.
What about these?
Why are they stuffed away?
I bought them back from the
academy after we sold it.
I haven't put them up.
I'm not sure I will.
Why not?
What's this one?
Must be special.
Uh, that's from Harry Haddad's

Um, his final point, and he

Stan's birthday.
We'd been drinking.
You know, this made sense.
But now, again?
Why?
I have no idea.
I don't do things like this.
Mm-hmm.
Apparently you do.
Can I ask?
Uh, I was dating this
guy, and we got in a fight.
Big, ugly fight.
What happened?
He wanted to end things, and I didn't.
So I got his keys, got in his car,
and drove right into a tree.
Head-on. [LAUGHS]
Small price to pay for
the look on his face.
Mm-hmm.
Kidding. Ruptured appendix.

- Did I scare you?
- No.
What about you? Any scars?
Left ankle.
Tore my lateral
ligament in a tournament.
I was 17.
Is that when you stopped playing?
Doctor told me to stay
off it for six months.
Let it heal, right?
But that was never going to happen.
Three months later, I tore it again.
And that was it.
Goodbye, tennis.
What hurt more, the ankle
or having to give it up?
That was the first and only

That hurt the most.

Now I'm at seven.
Uh, that's how pills work, Stan.
Yeah, but I'm still missing a couple.
I know you didn't take any.
Spit it out. What are you trying to say?
Do you think, uh,
Savannah could have taken some?
Your tramadol?
If she was abusing prescription
drugs, I'd know by now.
And more than two would be missing.
Hand me my blood thinners, would you?
Unless you think she's taking those too.
Mm. [CHUCKLES]
Maybe it's time, Joy.
Time for what?
For Savannah to, you know, move on.
- What? And go where?
- I don't know.
She's an adult. She'll figure it out.
It's been a month now.
And maybe I want you
all to myself again.
Did you ever think of that?
Uh, you may recall that things weren't
so good before she arrived.
Oh, because you didn't
have fresh banana bread
every morning?
What do you think, honey?
Isn't it nice having Savannah around?
Yeah, sure. She's cool.
[WIND WHISTLING]
Go away, Amy.
It was going to come out eventually.
You know that, right?
How did you know?
Because I'm your big sister,
and I'm very perceptive.
Maybe this is a good thing.
That bridesmaid's dress you got for me,
it's decidedly hideous.
Like, back end of a bus.
Well, don't throw it out just yet.
Did Gina forgive you?
She still doesn't know.
Oh, Brookie.
Oh, I just
I couldn't tell her.
I thought she was cheating on me,
which is why I, um
but she wasn't, so now I'm just
the worst person in the world.
Even Dad hates me.
He doesn't hate you.
He's just disappointed.
Yeah, which is so much worse.
I promise you there are worse things.
Ame,
I didn't know you were going
through so much back then.
I thought you were just being dramatic.
Maybe ask next time.

Couple years ago.

She just needed a place to stay.
She crashed here on and off

Took my car with her, too.

- Nah.
It was a beater, on its last legs.
It wasn't worth going after.
Well, have you heard from her since?
[DOG BARKING]
Oh, you don't have to tell us.
We could always come
back with a warrant.
About six months ago, she showed up.
She gave me 10,000 bucks in cash.
She wanted to pay me back for
the car, for letting her stay.
10K.
- That's a lot of money.
- No shit.
[LAUGHS]
Way more than the car was worth.
As far as I'm concerned,
she's a nice girl.
Troubled, but she means well.

I don't.

left a few things behind.
I can check the garage

Oh, you don't have to tell us.
We could always come

10K.
