Tell Me Your Secrets (2021) s01e07 Episode Script

Pete: I told you that
one of the side effects
of the meds that you're on
is hallucinations.
We're still trying
to piece together
the things
that you don't remember.
I keep hoping that we will reach
a point where we can grieve.
Theresa's not dead.
You don't have to
come by anymore.
It's not good for you
to be here.
I am one of the biggest boosters
of this team.
Please.
Don't come by.
It's over, John.
It is not over
until I saw that it is over!
John: You put me back
on a bad path,
you made me think
about bad things.
And now here we are.
I know something,
you know something.
We found a necklace
on the remains.
-It's our daughter's.
-Shh.
We're closed.
I hoped
I'd just catch you.
♪
That necklace belonged
to Theresa Barlow.
The missing girl,
the one whose mother
-has made it her life's work
-I know. I know.
I know who she is.
to prove that
you're as guilty as Parker.
-You still sure?
-Of what?
You never saw her.
You never crossed paths
with her?
The only thing that happened
in those woods, was--
was giving birth to Freya.
That's all I know.
I don't know anything
about a body.
Maybe you blocked it out.
Do you think that
I could forget seeing that?
Yeah, I do.
I think this is it.
I think this is the event that
triggered your memory blackouts.
That's it.
Yeah, well, that's--
that's great for you, Pete.
I'm happy. I'm happy that
you have some closure.
A body was found
in Minnesota
No, remains.
You said remains.
Pete: From the time you
and him were arrested.
It could be an animal.
It could be anything.
The skull was bashed in.
Most likely by a hammer.
Emma, it's him.
This was Parker, and I think
you were there,
and I think you saw all of this,
and I think
that you have blocked out
everything ever since.
So take a look.
I don't remember.
Well, you'd better try.
Because pretty soon,
the FBI is gonna ask me
what I think you know.
Again, please take a look.
Sometimes,
I get these flashes.
But I don't know
what they are, Pete.
I don't know
if they're nightmares or
[breathing heavily]
or memories.

Yeah, when I was eight.

No, not that I'm trouble,

It's a big difference.
Is there something
you're not telling me?
Isn't that
the craziest question
when you really
think about it?
There's so many things
that all of us aren't
telling each other
all of the time.
What is it?
This just isn't about

When my daughter
Theresa disappeared--
one of the 90,000 people who go
missing every year in America.
I, like so many parents,
felt powerlessness
and uncertainty
in the absence that was left.
My Foundation is about
transcending powerlessness
and uncertainty.
I wanted to know
[ Scoffs ]
Um
I don't think I can do this.
The truth is
uncertainty is agony,
but at least it allows
for fantasy,
some-- some imaginary
happy ending.
I don't want to hear
that my daughter was buried
on the side of the road,
or left dead in the woods, or--
or sold to someone
who watched her die,
but that's what's coming.
All this was about certainty
and-- and now I know
and I would give that certainty,
that knowledge
back in a heartbeat.
