Saint X (2023) s01e08 Episode Script
Faraway
1
Multiple witnesses saw
Alison at the bar last night
with two young local men.
And the three of them left the
bar together around midnight.
I arrested the two
men for drunk driving,
but your daughter was
no longer with them.
Everybody knows those guys
raped and killed your sister.
CLAIRE: What was Edwin like?
Edwin was one of the most
duplicitous humans I ever met.
- And Gogo?
- I think he did whatever his friend told him to.
We must tell Gogo about Sara.
I need to talk to you. It's serious.
- So Desmond told you.
- About my best friend
stopping you from being with me.
I know what you did to Sara.
I thought she was hanging
out with her sister tonight.
I promised myself if
I ever had the means
to help someone, I would.
I hope you use it
to get somewhere where
you can live freely.
CLAIRE: His friend gave him a letter,
which has to be from Edwin.
When I was seven, my
brother was murdered.
My life was ripped apart.
