Cypher (2021) s01e04 Episode Script
Welcome Back
FBI AGENT 1:
Will Scott is your husband?
He was my ex-husband.
Has he attempted to make contact
with you recently?
CLAIRE: And these people
that are listed on the document,
are they implicated
in this whole scheme
or are they victims?
But most importantly,
who are the people
behind all this?
REES: We'd like to ask you
a few questions.
I just spoke with two
of your agents
a few minutes ago.
How do you explain
two unknown agents landing
at Will Scott's house
moments before we got there?
Your doctors underwent a surgery
that the patient's had here.
So where are the files?
Somehow we lost the file
and I have no idea where it is
and we've been looking
all over the place.
Do you know a man named,
"Will Scott"?
So how did you find me?
It was me who called the police
when you were supposedly dead.
I am dead.
ANNA: I'm not lying,
I swear I saw him!
Dad?
I know this has been difficult
for you,
it's been difficult for me, too.
(Elevator dings)
Who's that?
Emergency exit out the back,
let's go.
(♪♪♪)
I think we're back in business.
(Clicking)
I gotta get out, Chris.
They're getting closer.
They're gonna find out.
They're on to us.
That FBI agent,
she knows something.
And I've got family.
You've gotta do something,
Chris.
I can't do this anymore.
Please, Chris!
Sooner or later
(Gunshot)

(♪♪♪)
I knew he was hiding something.
The cipher from the warehouse,
yet somehow Will Scott
obtained a copy.
We also found some of his notes.
He solves the first
couple of lines.
What we discovered
from reading Will's notes
is that each line's comprised
of a name and date.
The date listed being the victim
or target's
predetermined death day.
A hit list.
ANDR: What's strange is that
after running
the three victims' names
in our database,
it came up as having died
of natural cause
on the dates listed next
to the predetermined death day.
This can't be coincidence.
Get a hold of our forensic team.
Have them run a fresh run
of autopsies
on our first three victims
then see if you guys can dig up
any other relations
between the three.
WILL:
That's it?
CLAIRE: Yeah, according to the address,
that's the one.
Second floor, office 26.
Wait.
What?
We should watch out
for a little bit,
make sure it's safe.
What for?
You don't wanna walk in to
the lion's den, do you?
Patience is a virtue.
I learned that the hard way
with my father.
(Cars whooshing past)
She looks like you,
your daughter.
I miss her.
What happened between you
and your wife?
That's personal.
And do you still love him?
(Chuckles)
I don't know if I loved him
or he didn't.
Maybe both.
I think I've just been feeling
kinda lost.
He was a good man, he was.
I just
Sorry.
Do you still keep touch
with his family?
No, no.
Will had a falling out
with them years ago.
He
(Sighs)
They've never met Anna.
They didn't even show up
at the funeral.
Will never told me what happened
with him and his family.
Whatever it was
I'm sure it was his fault,
not theirs, because he was
always just so headstrong
and impatient.
He just did whatever he pleased.
He was just so reckless
like that.
You know?
Thank you for sharing.
(Cars whooshing past)
Look, it's been half an hour
since anyone left the building.
I'm going in.
I'm coming with.
No, you're staying here.
What are you gonna say,
you drove as witness?
Don't worry about it.
Okay, well, be careful.
You have a daughter
to come home to.
Yeah.
(♪♪♪)
(♪♪♪)
(♪♪♪)
(Gasping)
Shit!
Sh okay.
Scarlet, Scarlet.
Okay, you're with me.
You're gonna be fine.
I'm here to help.
Listen.
(Taking short breaths)
Look at me!
I need you concentrate,
I
(Metal clanging)
(Gasping)
Okay.
I'm gonna take you
to the hospital.
Okay, you need to concentrate
on breathing.
Just breathe for me, alright.
Okay, attagirl.
The door!
Get the door!
Get in.
CLAIRE:
Are you in?
Okay, we're in, we're in.
Okay, are you in?
WILL:
Ready, breathe, breathe.
Look at me, look at me!
Good girl.
(Taking deep breath)
WILL:
Steady, good, great
Hold on!
(Tires screech)
(♪♪♪)
(♪♪♪)
(♪♪♪)
(Indiscernible conversation)
(♪♪♪)
1, clear!
1, clear!
1, clear!
(Heartbeat flatlines)
(♪♪♪)
(♪♪♪)
CLAIRE: Will, you did what you could,
you can't keep blaming yourself.
I just don't get it.
Her death date wasn't due
for another nine days.
Yeah,
but you gave that woman hope.
Hope doesn't save lives.
(Pours drink)
Good timing and hospitals
saves lives.
I really thought we were there.
She was our only lead.
For now.
Tomorrow you'll crack
another name,
then we can start over.
And it was yet another
innocent person.
You don't know that.
And who said they're innocent,
they could be criminals
for all we know.
Then they should be brought
to justice, not killed.
Will, you did
all you could tonight,
that is all anyone
can ask of you.
You just need to stay focused.
Remember
what we're trying to do.
And what is that?
Crack the code.
At what price?
Lost my job.
Lost my life.
I can't even see my daughter.
I got nobody.
(♪♪♪)
You've got me.
(♪♪♪)
(Helicopter whirring)
REES: We received the results
of the second autopsy.
We found a substance
formerly referred to as
a "Liquid X" had been injected
to each of the victims' systems.
What's Liquid X?
According to analysis,
it dramatically increases
the blood flow,
which more than triples
the heart rate to fatal levels
provoking a heart attack.
To specialists, when one injects
the liquid
into someone's bloodstream,
it appears they have died
of natural causes
when really they were murdered.
Is there an antidote?
Not that we found, sir.
Well, how long
in between injection and death?
Depends on the quantity,
but not long.
Alright, well, let's alert
all the hospitals.
Okay, I don't care,
if somebody comes in with
a little bit of heartache,
we know about it, okay, guys?
Let's go.
Where are you going?
I'll be back later.
Told you, I really don't think
it's a good idea
for you to go roaming about.
Yeah, well,
you're not gonna stop me.
I know.
(Will chuckles)
Be careful.
Yeah.
Here.
Use my car.
Thank you.
Yeah.
WILL:
See you later.
See ya.
(Knocks on door)
REES:
Sir.
Yeah, all good?
Sir, I received
a hospital report about a woman
by the name of "Scarlet Watkins"
who was brought in
several hours ago
with the same malfunction
as the others labeled
as a "heart attack".
So she's dead?
She was barely alive
when they brought her in,
which leads me to my next point.
The staff reported
she was brought in
by one individual who left
as soon as she was wheeled away.
Alright, well, get a hold
of the hospital
and get me that footage
as soon as possible.
I already have it, sir.
Thank you.
(♪♪♪)
Welcome back, Will Scott.
ANNA:
I thought I saw you yesterday.
(Birds chirping in distance)
ANNA:
It felt so real.
Or maybe I'm going crazy, I
I just don't
I was gonna come live with you.
(Sobs)
We were supposed to go
to the movies together.
(Sobs)
And none of this
would've happened
if you'd just come.
(Sniffles)
I was waiting for you
like you had asked me to.
(Sniffles)
Why didn't you come?
Daddy.
Why did you do that?
You promised
you'd never leave me alone.
I love you, daddy.
I love you.
Why?
Why?
Hey, hey.
Hey, you okay?
What's a young girl like you
doing alone in a cemetery?
Where's your parents?
She's with me.
(♪♪♪)
How did we miss this, hmm?
This guy's been under our nose
the entire time.
How the hell is Will Scott
still alive?
Sir, last I spoke
to his ex-wife, she claims
he was buried 6 feet under.
She saw him get buried.
I even read his obituary
in the paper.
Okay, guys, Will Scott
just blew his cover
trying to save this woman
and I need to know why.
Okay, at least now we know
he was responsible
for Kurt's death.
Sir, it was an accident.
An accident that cost
one of our agent's lives.
Is that what we're going with,
sir?
That he killed Kurt.
I find that hard to believe.
From what I heard,
they were close friends.
Yes, for the time being that is
what we are going with.
And Rees, as soon as you stop
trusting people,
the longer you will live.
Now where are we at
with this Scarlet Watkins?
Age 33, kept to herself mostly.
Recently closed
all of her bank accounts
and opened one offshore account
last week.
And?
REES: I'm still digging
and that's all the information
Okay, well, dig deeper!
Okay, I need to know
where Will Scott went
when he ducked out
of this hospital!
Right now,
he is our number 1 suspect.
Okay, I want all efforts
geared to finding this scumbag.
Right now!
Okay, we're here.
Hey, how was um
WILL:
Claire, this is Anna.
Anna, that's my friend Claire.
Anna, hi.
It's nice to meet you.
Hi.
Listen, if Will Scott
is indeed alive,
we need to go ask his ex-wife
a few more questions.
Sir, we already asked her.
I don't think there's
any more information
we can get out of her.
She's already confirmed
she hasn't seen him
since his passing.
And she might be telling
the truth.
Okay, according to his file,
what they've separated for what,
four months.
Okay, look,
he could be a criminal,
he could be a murderer.
Okay, but he's a father.
Okay, that is
his Achilles' heel.
Right, no matter
how bad things get,
a father's love
for his daughter, it never dies.
So what are your orders?
Let's grab Rees
and let's go for a ride.
Lead the way, sir.
Okay.
I knew it was you at my school
the other day.
I had to make sure
you were okay,
but you do not jump out
in front of cars like that ever,
okay?
Yes, daddy.
Good.
Now look, this whole story
me disappearing and such, it's
it's like a Twilight Zone
episode, you know what I mean?
And I will explain everything
to you one day, all of it.
Don't make promises
you can't keep.
I couldn't help that,
sweetheart.
I didn't have much of a choice.
You forgive me?
Of course, I can forgive you,
daddy.
I love you.
Miss you, too.
Is she your new girlfriend?
Well, we're
Are you daddy's girlfriend now?
Uh, we work together.
That's too bad,
you're very cute.
Let me tell you something,
if you wanna be
daddy's girlfriend,
that's fine by me.
She's beautiful.
Yeah, she is.
(Laughs)
Okay, grab your bag,
we gotta get you home
before mom freaks out.
No, I wanna stay,
I don't wanna go.
Listen, we're gonna be seeing
a lot more of each other,
but the smart thing to do is
we get you home
before your mom
starts getting scared.
Your friends she's expecting
you home from school
anytime now.
Okay.
Okay.
Bye, Claire.
It was nice to meet you,
sweetie.
Take care of him for me please.
You got it.
Anna.
It's okay, dad, don't worry.
(Chuckles)
Okay, let's get you a cab.
Ms. Scott,
my name is Robert Martin,
Director of the Criminal
Investigative Division
for the FBI.
Can we ask you
a few more questions?
I don't know how many times
I've told you this,
but Will is dead.
I'm not a ghost hunter.
ROBERT: Ms. Scott,
is this your ex-husband?
Yes.
This image
was captured yesterday.
(♪♪♪)
ROBERT: I understand you're frustrated
with all the questions lately,
so I'd like to make this
as thorough as possible,
so we can avoid
unnecessary meetings
in the future for your sake.
Thank you.
Yes, this is Agent Sauder
with the FBI.
I'm calling on behalf of
We all understand
this is a lot to take in.
How is this possible?
We had a funeral for him.
I was there, I saw him.
Ms. Scott, we believe Will
may have faked his own death.
Can you think of any reason
why he would want others
to believe he was dead?
No.
Does he have any enemies who
would've wanted to hurt him?
He was a cop.
Back when that was his job,
he had a lot of enemies.
Is he in danger?
Right now he's our number 1
suspect in the death
of one of our agents.
There's also evidence that
implicates him in a case
we're currently working on.
But we're still
gathering information,
piecing things together,
but right now we think
Will may have faked
his own death,
so he could carry
other things out without fear
of being a suspect.
So he's the dangerous one?
ROBERT: Looks like he got mixed up
with some bad people.
Leah Scott, yes, that's correct.
Will wasn't a perfect husband,
he had his flaws.
I just don't think
he would kill anyone.
And what about
his other relationships,
like with your daughter Anna?
What does she have to do
with this?
We're just exploring
all avenues,
preparing for the possibility
that he might reach out to her.
I see.
So just to be clear Will Scott
has not reached out to you
since the funeral?
Not once.
And your daughter?
Not that I'm aware of, no.
We just have a couple more
questions, Ms. Scott.
Ms. Scott, what are
the whereabouts of your daughter
at this precise moment?
Which
She should be on her way home
from school.
And who's her ride home?
If I'm not there,
she'll ride the school bus.
Ms. Scott, your daughter
never attended school today.
What?
APB?
ROBERT:
Call it in.
Hi, mom.
What's going on?
Cancel.
For the eighth time,
I haven't seen my dad.
Before daddy died,
I spent the weekend with him.
We were supposed to go
to the movies together.
But then he had to go in
for his job.
And he never came back.
LEAH:
Anna.
ANNA:
Yes, mommy.
Tell me the truth now, okay?
When was the last time
you saw daddy?
I don't know, like a week ago.
But I also saw him last night.
REES:
And?
In a dream I had.
Anna, your principal told me
you never went to school today.
Where were you?
I was at the cemetery.
(Sobs)
Wanted to see him,
I miss him so much.
Anna, your dad is uh
Stop.
I think that's enough for now.
Okay, then.
Thank you for your time, ma'am.
Okay, Ms. Scott.
Ms. Scott, if you hear anything
regarding your ex-husband
or need to reach out
for whatever reasons,
here's my card.
Thank you.
(Sighs)
One day
she'll need to know the truth.
I know.
REES:
Okay.
You think that girl was
telling us the truth back there?
I don't know.
It's hard to tell
when it comes to kids.
Can't imagine
what she's going through.
Yeah.
Me neither.
Broke my heart to see her cry
like that.
She's just a kid.
I went back down
to the Orthopedic Center.
Surgeon hasn't returned to work
after the incident.
Yeah, I know,
and he also fled his home.
And his daughter didn't show
to school.
You think we should tell Robert?
The timing
would have to be right.
Trust your instincts, Rees.
It's your call.
(Sighs)
CLAIRE: You've been at this for hours,
you should take a break.
Can't find any kind of
connection between the victims.
No?
WILL:
They're not related.
(Will sighs)
None of them share
the same employers,
all have different careers.
Just seems random.
But it's not.
Can we even be sure of that?
Time is of the essence, Will.
(Claire sighs)
CLAIRE: Why don't you focus
on deciphering the names?
At least that way we can save
innocent lives.
We don't even know
if they're innocent.
It's still a possibility.
(Pops open bottle cap)
We showed up nine days
before Scarlet's death was due.
What makes you think
the same thing
doesn't happen again
next time we turn up knocking on
someone else's door.
(Sighs)
Maybe that was bad luck
or a coincidence.
Every person's name
on this list,
they're already dead.
There are no coincidences here.
Not unless you can do something
about it.
Will, you need to decipher
those names
before it's too late.
We can still save
countless lives.
Come on.
(Sighs)
How old is she?
45, 48.
(Laughs)
What?
I'm talking about Anna, dummy.
She's 9.
Well, she is super cute.
And really smart
from what I can gather.
Well, she's my daughter.
(Laughs)
Shut up.
It was really nice to meet her.
Thank you.
Now eat, I hear it's really hard
to sustain a hero complex
on an empty stomach.
(Laughs)
We tested the DNA we found
in Will's coffin, discovered
it belonged
to a certain individual.
Jameson Tully.
Who the hell is Jameson Tully?
According o our database,
he's a criminal from Norwalk.
According to medical records,
he was shot by an FBI agent
on the same day as Will's death.
Alright, so how does he end up
in Will's coffin?
Somebody pulled the body
from FBI morgue, sir.
ROBERT:
And?
André?
It was Kurt that signed
for the release of the body.
Are you kidding me?
I'm afraid not.
(Sighs)
André, I'm okay.
We cannot let this get out.
Just we don't need a nightmare
if this word spread, okay,
just for time being.
Sir?
(Indistinct chatter
in background)
Yes, sir.
(Phone ringing in background)
(Door opens)
(Sighs)
My dad would be really proud
to see us working on this case.
He spent a lot of time
working on it?
(Grunts)
I couldn't really tell you
for sure.
All I know is he worked on it
until he passed away.
He was a really hard worker
kinda like you.
I guess.
CLAIRE: You don't give yourself
enough credit.
I feel like you're the kinda guy
that never gives up.
I love that about you.
Thank you.
No, it's me
who should be thanking you.
Well, I'm not even worth being
thanked for yet.
You're gonna solve this
eventually.
Well, I couldn't save Scarlet
or the ones before her.
It only takes saving one
to send a message.
I have a faith in you.
(♪♪♪)
(♪♪♪)
Anna, hon.
Did you tell those officers
the truth?
Of course, mommy.
But you told me you saw daddy
at school yesterday, remember?
That was a dream.
So why didn't you explain
your dream to the police?
Well, maybe they didn't ask me
the right questions.
Anna.
If you're afraid
to tell me something, just
please don't lie to me.
I'm telling the truth,
I didn't lie to anyone.
I only said the truth.
You don't believe me, do you?
I believe you, sweetie.
Goodnight, mommy.
You don't want a story?
That's okay,
I'm already pretty tired.
I think
I just wanna go to sleep.
So you can dream about
daddy again?
(♪♪♪)
(Taking deep breaths)
(♪♪♪)
(♪♪♪)
You don't wanna rest up?
I'm not tired enough
to doze off.
Thought I'd take another stab
at this.
As you wish.
I'm gonna go lay my head down.

Emergency exit out the back,
let's go.
(♪♪♪)
I think we're back in business.
(Clicking)
I gotta get out, Chris.
They're getting closer.
They're gonna find out.
They're on to us.
That FBI agent,
she knows something.
And I've got family.
You've gotta do something,
Chris.
I can't do this anymore.

And it was yet another
innocent person.
You don't know that.
And who said they're innocent,
they could be criminals
for all we know.
Then they should be brought
to justice, not killed.
Will, you did
all you could tonight,
that is all anyone
can ask of you.
You just need to stay focused.
Remember
what we're trying to do.
And what is that?
Crack the code.
At what price?
Lost my job.
Lost my life.
I can't even see my daughter.
I got nobody.
(♪♪♪)
You've got me.
(♪♪♪)
(Helicopter whirring)
REES: We received the results
of the second autopsy.
We found a substance
formerly referred to as
a "Liquid X" had been injected
to each of the victims' systems.
What's Liquid X?
According to analysis,
it dramatically increases
the blood flow,
which more than triples
the heart rate to fatal levels
provoking a heart attack.
To specialists, when one injects
the liquid
into someone's bloodstream,
it appears they have died
of natural causes
when really they were murdered.
Is there an antidote?
Not that we found, sir.
Well, how long
in between injection and death?
Depends on the quantity,
but not long.
Alright, well, let's alert
all the hospitals.
Okay, I don't care,
if somebody comes in with
a little bit of heartache,
we know about it, okay, guys?
Let's go.
Where are you going?
I'll be back later.
Told you, I really don't think
it's a good idea
for you to go roaming about.
Yeah, well,
you're not gonna stop me.
I know.
(Will chuckles)
Be careful.
Yeah.
Here.
Use my car.
Thank you.
Yeah.
WILL:
See you later.
See ya.
(Knocks on door)
REES:
Sir.
Yeah, all good?
Sir, I received
a hospital report about a woman
by the name of "Scarlet Watkins"
who was brought in
several hours ago
with the same malfunction
as the others labeled
as a "heart attack".
So she's dead?
She was barely alive
when they brought her in,
which leads me to my next point.
The staff reported
she was brought in
by one individual who left
as soon as she was wheeled away.
Alright, well, get a hold
of the hospital
and get me that footage
as soon as possible.
I already have it, sir.
Thank you.
(♪♪♪)
Welcome back, Will Scott.
ANNA:
I thought I saw you yesterday.
(Birds chirping in distance)
ANNA:
It felt so real.
Or maybe I'm going crazy, I
I just don't
I was gonna come live with you.
(Sobs)
We were supposed to go
to the movies together.
(Sobs)
And none of this
would've happened
if you'd just come.
(Sniffles)
I was waiting for you
like you had asked me to.
(Sniffles)
Why didn't you come?
Daddy.
Why did you do that?
You promised
you'd never leave me alone.
I love you, daddy.
I love you.
Why?
Why?
Hey, hey.
Hey, you okay?
What's a young girl like you
doing alone in a cemetery?
Where's your parents?
She's with me.
(♪♪♪)
How did we miss this, hmm?
This guy's been under our nose
the entire time.
How the hell is Will Scott
still alive?
Sir, last I spoke
to his ex-wife, she claims
he was buried 6 feet under.
She saw him get buried.
I even read his obituary
in the paper.
Okay, guys, Will Scott
just blew his cover
trying to save this woman
and I need to know why.
Okay, at least now we know
he was responsible
for Kurt's death.
Sir, it was an accident.
An accident that cost
one of our agent's lives.
Is that what we're going with,
sir?
That he killed Kurt.
I find that hard to believe.
From what I heard,
they were close friends.
Yes, for the time being that is
what we are going with.
And Rees, as soon as you stop
trusting people,
the longer you will live.
Now where are we at
with this Scarlet Watkins?
Age 33, kept to herself mostly.
Recently closed
all of her bank accounts
and opened one offshore account
last week.
And?
REES: I'm still digging
and that's all the information
Okay, well, dig deeper!
Okay, I need to know
where Will Scott went
when he ducked out
of this hospital!
Right now,
he is our number 1 suspect.
Okay, I want all efforts
geared to finding this scumbag.
Right now!
Okay, we're here.
Hey, how was um
WILL:
Claire, this is Anna.
Anna, that's my friend Claire.
Anna, hi.
It's nice to meet you.
Hi.
Listen, if Will Scott
is indeed alive,
we need to go ask his ex-wife
a few more questions.
Sir, we already asked her.
I don't think there's
any more information
we can get out of her.
She's already confirmed
she hasn't seen him
since his passing.
And she might be telling
the truth.
Okay, according to his file,
what they've separated for what,
four months.
Okay, look,
he could be a criminal,
he could be a murderer.
Okay, but he's a father.
Okay, that is
his Achilles' heel.
Right, no matter
how bad things get,
a father's love
for his daughter, it never dies.
So what are your orders?
Let's grab Rees
and let's go for a ride.
Lead the way, sir.
Okay.
I knew it was you at my school
the other day.
I had to make sure
you were okay,
but you do not jump out
in front of cars like that ever,
okay?
Yes, daddy.
Good.
Now look, this whole story
me disappearing and such, it's
it's like a Twilight Zone
episode, you know what I mean?
And I will explain everything
to you one day, all of it.
Don't make promises
you can't keep.
I couldn't help that,
sweetheart.
I didn't have much of a choice.
You forgive me?
Of course, I can forgive you,
daddy.
I love you.
Miss you, too.
Is she your new girlfriend?
Well, we're
Are you daddy's girlfriend now?
Uh, we work together.
That's too bad,
you're very cute.
Let me tell you something,
if you wanna be
daddy's girlfriend,
that's fine by me.
She's beautiful.
Yeah, she is.
(Laughs)
Okay, grab your bag,
we gotta get you home
before mom freaks out.
No, I wanna stay,
I don't wanna go.
Listen, we're gonna be seeing
a lot more of each other,
but the smart thing to do is
we get you home
before your mom
starts getting scared.
Your friends she's expecting
you home from school
anytime now.
Okay.
Okay.
Bye, Claire.
It was nice to meet you,
sweetie.
Take care of him for me please.
You got it.
Anna.
It's okay, dad, don't worry.
(Chuckles)
Okay, let's get you a cab.
Ms. Scott,
my name is Robert Martin,
Director of the Criminal
Investigative Division
for the FBI.
Can we ask you
a few more questions?
I don't know how many times
I've told you this,
but Will is dead.
I'm not a ghost hunter.
ROBERT: Ms. Scott,
is this your ex-husband?
Yes.
This image
was captured yesterday.
(♪♪♪)
ROBERT: I understand you're frustrated
with all the questions lately,
so I'd like to make this
as thorough as possible,
so we can avoid
unnecessary meetings
in the future for your sake.
Thank you.
Yes, this is Agent Sauder
with the FBI.
I'm calling on behalf of
We all understand
this is a lot to take in.
How is this possible?
We had a funeral for him.
I was there, I saw him.
Ms. Scott, we believe Will
may have faked his own death.
Can you think of any reason
why he would want others
to believe he was dead?
No.
Does he have any enemies who
would've wanted to hurt him?
He was a cop.
Back when that was his job,
he had a lot of enemies.
Is he in danger?
Right now he's our number 1
suspect in the death
of one of our agents.
There's also evidence that
implicates him in a case
we're currently working on.
But we're still
gathering information,
piecing things together,
but right now we think
Will may have faked
his own death,
so he could carry
other things out without fear
of being a suspect.
So he's the dangerous one?
ROBERT: Looks like he got mixed up
with some bad people.
Leah Scott, yes, that's correct.
Will wasn't a perfect husband,
he had his flaws.
I just don't think
he would kill anyone.
And what about
his other relationships,
like with your daughter Anna?
What does she have to do
with this?
We're just exploring
all avenues,
preparing for the possibility
that he might reach out to her.
I see.
So just to be clear Will Scott
has not reached out to you
since the funeral?
Not once.
And your daughter?
Not that I'm aware of, no.
We just have a couple more
questions, Ms. Scott.
Ms. Scott, what are
the whereabouts of your daughter
at this precise moment?
Which
She should be on her way home
from school.
And who's her ride home?
If I'm not there,
she'll ride the school bus.
Ms. Scott, your daughter
never attended school today.
What?
APB?
ROBERT:
Call it in.
Hi, mom.
What's going on?
Cancel.
For the eighth time,
I haven't seen my dad.
Before daddy died,
I spent the weekend with him.
We were supposed to go
to the movies together.
But then he had to go in
for his job.
And he never came back.
LEAH:
Anna.
ANNA:
Yes, mommy.
Tell me the truth now, okay?
When was the last time
you saw daddy?
I don't know, like a week ago.
But I also saw him last night.
REES:
And?
In a dream I had.
Anna, your principal told me
you never went to school today.
Where were you?
I was at the cemetery.
(Sobs)
Wanted to see him,
I miss him so much.
Anna, your dad is uh
Stop.
I think that's enough for now.
Okay, then.
Thank you for your time, ma'am.
Okay, Ms. Scott.
Ms. Scott, if you hear anything
regarding your ex-husband
or need to reach out
for whatever reasons,
here's my card.
Thank you.
(Sighs)
One day
she'll need to know the truth.
I know.
REES:
Okay.
You think that girl was
telling us the truth back there?
I don't know.
It's hard to tell
when it comes to kids.
Can't imagine
what she's going through.
Yeah.
Me neither.
Broke my heart to see her cry
like that.
She's just a kid.
I went back down
to the Orthopedic Center.
Surgeon hasn't returned to work
after the incident.
Yeah, I know,
and he also fled his home.
And his daughter didn't show
to school.
You think we should tell Robert?
The timing
would have to be right.
Trust your instincts, Rees.
It's your call.
(Sighs)
CLAIRE: You've been at this for hours,
you should take a break.
Can't find any kind of
connection between the victims.
No?
WILL:
They're not related.
(Will sighs)
None of them share
the same employers,
all have different careers.
Just seems random.
But it's not.
Can we even be sure of that?
Time is of the essence, Will.
(Claire sighs)
CLAIRE: Why don't you focus
on deciphering the names?
At least that way we can save
innocent lives.
We don't even know
if they're innocent.
It's still a possibility.
(Pops open bottle cap)
We showed up nine days
before Scarlet's death was due.
What makes you think
the same thing
doesn't happen again
next time we turn up knocking on
someone else's door.
(Sighs)
Maybe that was bad luck
or a coincidence.
Every person's name
on this list,
they're already dead.
There are no coincidences here.
Not unless you can do something
about it.
Will, you need to decipher
those names
before it's too late.
We can still save
countless lives.
Come on.
(Sighs)
How old is she?
45, 48.
(Laughs)
What?
I'm talking about Anna, dummy.
She's 9.
Well, she is super cute.
And really smart
from what I can gather.
Well, she's my daughter.
(Laughs)
Shut up.
It was really nice to meet her.
Thank you.
Now eat, I hear it's really hard
to sustain a hero complex
on an empty stomach.
(Laughs)
We tested the DNA we found
in Will's coffin, discovered
it belonged
to a certain individual.
Jameson Tully.
Who the hell is Jameson Tully?
According o our database,
he's a criminal from Norwalk.
According to medical records,
he was shot by an FBI agent
on the same day as Will's death.
Alright, so how does he end up
in Will's coffin?
Somebody pulled the body
from FBI morgue, sir.
ROBERT:
And?
André?
It was Kurt that signed
for the release of the body.
Are you kidding me?
I'm afraid not.
(Sighs)
André, I'm okay.
We cannot let this get out.
Just we don't need a nightmare
if this word spread, okay,
just for time being.
Sir?
(Indistinct chatter
in background)
Yes, sir.
(Phone ringing in background)
(Door opens)
(Sighs)
My dad would be really proud
to see us working on this case.
He spent a lot of time
working on it?
(Grunts)
I couldn't really tell you
for sure.
All I know is he worked on it
until he passed away.
He was a really hard worker
kinda like you.
I guess.
CLAIRE: You don't give yourself
enough credit.
I feel like you're the kinda guy
that never gives up.
I love that about you.
Thank you.
No, it's me
who should be thanking you.
Well, I'm not even worth being
thanked for yet.
You're gonna solve this
eventually.
Well, I couldn't save Scarlet
or the ones before her.
It only takes saving one
to send a message.
I have a faith in you.
(♪♪♪)
(♪♪♪)
Anna, hon.
Did you tell those officers
the truth?
Of course, mommy.
But you told me you saw daddy
at school yesterday, remember?
That was a dream.
So why didn't you explain
your dream to the police?
Well, maybe they didn't ask me
the right questions.
Anna.
If you're afraid
to tell me something, just
please don't lie to me.
I'm telling the truth,
I didn't lie to anyone.
I only said the truth.
You don't believe me, do you?
I believe you, sweetie.
Goodnight, mommy.
You don't want a story?
That's okay,
I'm already pretty tired.
I think
I just wanna go to sleep.
So you can dream about
daddy again?
(♪♪♪)
(Taking deep breaths)
(♪♪♪)
(♪♪♪)
You don't wanna rest up?
I'm not tired enough
to doze off.
Thought I'd take another stab
at this.
As you wish.
I'm gonna go lay my head down.
