Ringer s01e13 Episode Script

My name is Bridget.
I witnessed a murder.
Just get up on the stand, tell the judge what you saw.
- And we'll protect you.
- You don't get it.
Bodaway wants me dead, I'm dead.
I ran to my sister, Siobhan, for help.
Siobhan killed herself, and I assumed her identity.
It was so easy.
I saw a way out, and I took it.
They all think that I'm her.
What is your problem, Siobhan? After all, this was my tub first.
Hi, mommy.
You had sex with Mr.
Carpenter? He forced himself on me.
I heard you weren't gonna press charges against Mr.
C.
He forced me to have sex with him, too.
- Solomon? - Who's this? Cora Farrell.
Hello, miss Farrell.
It's been a while.
I'll pick you up in an hour.
We have been here for a half an hour, and you haven't said a word to me, Siobhan.
Then look behind me.
That's Bridget.
She's the one living the lie with Andrew, not me.
Wasted on your gain you'd wipe me out Hello, Ms.
Farrell.
Two times in one week? You know, just call me Cora.
You in the military? Was.
Special forces.
Wow.
Um, how-how did I first contact you? You called a car service.
Said you wanted somebody discreet.
And I always paid in cash? Why are you asking me about what you did? I'm newly sober.
I have whole chunks of time that I-I can't remember.
Well, now that I'm-I'm clean, I'm-I'm trying to figure out who I was, 'cause it's kind of affecting who I am now.
Does That make sense? I need answers.
I'll pay you double to help me get them.
No questions asked.
How can I help? When was the last time that you drove me? September 8th.
September 8th? I missed you so much.
Siobhan?! Oh, my God.
Something happen? Uh, yeah.
Something awful to somebody I really loved.
And I-I don't know why.
Maybe if I retraced my steps from that day All right.
First stop Harlem.
lines like gold you think you can shake me? revolt revolt We never listed your name or your office, Ms.
Farrell.
Just like you asked.
My office? I'm surprised to see you.
You usually come through the back.
You know, I can't seem to find my keys anywhere.
Do you think you could let me in? Okay, do you by any chance recognize this? Should I? Uh, I don't know.
What about this address? Have you ever driven me there? Not that I can remember.
What's the zip code? I can reroute us if you'd like.
I don't know it.
Well, you know, there's probably about 1,000 main streets in the tri-state area? Just take me to the next stop, please.
You gonna sit in the front? Yeah.
Is that cool? You sure are different sober.
Oh, come on, Siobhan.
I cannot believe that you let Bridget be you.
Her life was in danger.
She came to me.
I couldn't turn away my sister.
Okay, and so, swapping lives is your answer? And why didn't you tell me? I would have helped you.
Because she convinced me it was too dangerous to get anyone involved.
Look, I had just found out that I was pregnant with our baby.
I needed some time to think.
Bridget convinced me this was the best plan.
She could hide out by being me, and I could get some distance, come up with a plan.
Okay, this this is insane, Siobhan, and had you just warned me, I would have stayed away from Bridget.
I didn't think it was gonna be necessary, because I told her to stay away from you.
Besides, it was just supposed to be temporary.
I never No, you didn't think.
You didn't think, and do you understand, by not letting me in, how badly my life has fallen apart? I'm so sorry.
Henry, the last thing I wanted was to hurt you.
Or Gemma.
Things went haywire when Bridget met that low-life Charlie at N.
A.
They got so greedy.
They saw an opportunity in kidnapping Gemma.
I came back the second I heard.
All right, we end this now.
Let's expose Bridget, and get your life back.
I don't want my life back.
Not yet.
Why? Because I found something out in Paris, something that involves Andrew.
Henry, we have an ironclad prenup.
If we get divorced, I don't get a penny.
But I think I may have found a way for us to be together with Andrew's money.
I need to show you.
But Bridget stole a key from his office that I need.
- Okay, I can help you get it back.
- You can't.
Henry, we have to keep our distance, or this will all fall apart.
Trust me.
When I get that key back, it will all make sense.
As your attorney, it's my job to make sure you don't freeze up on the stand.
- Okay.
- Okay? I'm gonna ask you again.
What happened on the night in question? I was in, um, Mr.
Carpenter's class right after the young Samaritans pizza party.
He got mad at me.
Said I was acting inappropriately.
I told him he was reading into things, but he still asked me to stay after class.
The second we were alone, he started acting Weird.
Weird how? That's too vague.
Be as specific as you possibly can, Juliet.
What are you doing tonight? Juliet! Andrea, please wait in the hall.
I'd like to finish my conversation with Ms.
Martin.
He got nice.
And then he came over to me, and he tucked his He tucked my hair behind my ear.
And he whispered, "I bet you're the kind of girl who can keep secrets.
" I told him I wanted to leave.
And then, he grabbed my left arm Pushed me against the wall, pulled my skirt up, and You originally said your right arm.
Did I? Look, this is exactly what I am talking about.
If she can't keep her story straight, she's gonna look like a liar.
Calm down, will you? Juliet's just nervous.
Cut her some slack.
I'm afraid Catherine's right.
Juliet, your testimony has to be a carbon copy of what you told the police.
Otherwise, you're on the stand, the defense They'll pull you apart during the cross exam.
Okay.
So, was it your right arm? Yeah.
I just made a mistake.
Let me start again.
Look, could you give us a moment, please? Absolutely.
Both of you? Are you okay? Dad, I thought this was a good idea at first, but I'm not so sure I can do this.
What did I tell you?! This is a mistake! Catherine, in two seconds, you're on a plane to Miami, okay? Fine.
You're flying me first class.
Just please stop fighting! I will get it right, I promise.
A gift for the boys.
Egyptian cotton.
Thanks.
This is so unnecessary, really.
You gonna invite me in? Do I need to? Are you a vampire? Been called worse.
So, every week, there is a new document for me to sign from Martin/Charles.
What's it now? No more papers, I promise.
, I know you didn't trek down to Gramercy Park to deliver baby pajamas.
What's up? I need you to introduce me to your father-in-law.
Why? I want to get him to invest in Martin/Charles.
The man had a coronary after the death of his daughter.
He's hardly open to change right now.
But that's all the more reason for him to protect his assets, secure his legacy.
You'd be doing him a favor.
Tim Arbogast is a millionaire many times over.
I think he'll be okay.
A simple reference.
That's all I'm asking.
I'll take care of the rest.
I'm not doing it, Olivia.
If you want to get to a man like Arbogast, you have to be a little more creative and a little less transparent.
I, um I was really hoping it wouldn't come to this.
You and Siobhan look quite cozy here.
Where did you get that? Guess I was just being creative.
How many copies are there? This is the only one.
Right now.
You get me Arbogast I hit delete.
Doesn't look like my kind of place.
Maybe not the new you, but the old you loved this place.
Used to sit at the chess table for hours.
Your brown eyes are my blue skies they light up the river birds fly over better not to quench your thirst better not to be the first one diving though you caught me and you know why you breathe in the deepest part of the water what's the matter? you hurt yourself You gonna make a wish? A wish? It's our hokey tradition.
Here.
Write down what you want most and stick it in the slot with your name and the date.
Who knows? It might come true.
Why you wanna blame me for your troubles? ah, ah, ah, you better learn your lesson yourself nobody ever has to find out what's in my mind tonight let tonight pass us by I want you to know How sorry I am.
I think about John every day.
Because of what I did Bridget, stop.
You're already forgiven.
It will take you to the darkest part of the weather You left this in the car.
You okay? No.
My sister lied to me.
I wonder what else she lied to me about.
And how are you feeling these days? I'm still smoking.
I know it's ridiculous, but Just haven't been able to quit, even after the heart attack.
Well, Gemma's death has been Hard on everyone.
We haven't been one-on-one since the day you asked to marry my daughter.
I should I should've reached out sooner.
You said you had some business to discuss? I may be stubborn, but I'm not blind.
I know what I'm doing here.
You do? You wanted to stay connected to Gemma.
And you can.
I'll always love her.
And I feel the same about you, Henry.
Well, then it's important to take care of your legacy, Tim.
Especially when your health is in question.
Did Gemma ever mention the firm Martin/Charles to you? Cavalli's too loud, Versace too trashy, Marc Jacobs too flirty.
Why don't I just wear a nun's habit? Could you take this seriously, please? Maybe you should wear Chanel.
It's classic, it's elegant.
It's almost heroic.
And virgins wear Chanel, don't they? Whatever you want.
Sit up.
Hug your mother.
Mm, I think I have some pearls at the hotel.
I have pearls if you need.
Great.
So are you going to lecture me about what to wear, too? I was just trying to help.
Wait, Siobhan.
I-I'm sorry.
My mom's just a lot to deal with.
That's a word for it.
She keeps making me feel like a disaster.
Okay, like I'm going to get on the stand, and I'm going to mess it all up.
You won't.
Yeah, but I just wish she'd stop being such a bitch.
For once, it would be nice to have a normal mom.
Someone who doesn't make me feel like I'm making a mistake by doing this.
You're not.
It takes a lot of courage to stand up to someone and not run away.
Believe me, I know.
But you don't have to be afraid.
Come on, you know your testimony.
Your family's gonna be there to support you.
Before you know it, it's gonna be over.
Then you can start fresh.
I promise.
I really need you there tomorrow.
Then I'll be there.
How can you afford this place? Mmm, I said I was on a budget.
I'm not destitute.
I'm gonna go take a shower.
Hello? Hi.
Uh Sorry, is, uh, Siobhan there? She's not available right now.
Can I, um, can I tell her who called? Tyler Barrett.
Do you want me to tell her what this is regarding? She'll know.
Sorry to bother you.
Are you not joining me? Who, um Who's Tyler Barrett? Why? He just called.
Why would you answer that call? Because it kept ringing.
He's a good-looking guy, wouldn't you say? Tyler Barrett is the head of European operations for Martin/Charles.
He's been helping me while I've been in Paris.
Helping how? He has access to classified information.
What kind of information? The kind of information that incriminates Andrew and lets us be together and never have to worry about money.
You don't believe me? I do.
I do; It's just It's been hard to get over everything.
I understand.
But I never once strayed from my plan to be with you.
I love you.
I love you, too.
I just want all of this to be behind us.
And it will be.
Very soon.
You did a great job.
Great job on the stand today.
Here comes the circus.
What do you feel your chances are? Any witnesses to the incident? Do you think the judges No questions, please.
We'll be making a statement shortly.
Just remember the hard part's over.
Oh, my God.
I'm so glad you came.
No problem.
Hey, Ms.
Deluca wants to ask you a few questions - before Tessa's testimony, okay? - Okay.
Uh, I'll see you in a little bit? Yeah, sure.
All right, good.
How do you do it? Do what? Continually one up me.
I was just trying to make her feel better.
It's not a competition.
Feels like it.
What's your angle? I don't have one.
You're too hard on her, Catherine.
She just wants you to be nice to her.
I was just trying to protect her.
Maybe you guys could do something special.
You know, just the two of you.
We went ice skating over the holidays.
She loved it.
Yeah, we used to do that when she was little.
Tell you what, I will leave and give you guys some space.
Siobhan? Yeah? Thanks for not being a bitch.
How was it? Not too bad, yeah.
Don't worry.
It's kind of like a shot.
Over before you know it.
All you gotta do is tell them the truth about what Mr.
C did.
Whoa, okay.
Um, Tessa, what's going on? I can't Do this.
Sure you can.
You showed up, wearing a Pantsuit and everything.
You just point to the douche bag when they ask you who did it.
I can't.
Why not? I lied.
Mr.
C never actually assaulted me.
Oh, my God.
Are you kidding me?! Why the hell would you do something like that?! 'Cause the day when we first met, when we got in that fight in the hallway, Mr.
C took your side.
No, he blamed me for it, and he didn't even see who started it.
So you accused him of sexual assault?! I got suspended that day.
I was already flunking out, and when I got back, I had so much damn detention, I could barely catch up, okay? You know what? Mr.
C Was actually nice to me before you showed up.
And then he changed.
And I just wanted to hurt him.
I gotta go.
Tessa! Tessa! Wait! When Tessa banners admitted, said she was gonna lie on the stand, we had no choice but to drop the case.
What if we didn't? It'd be right back to "he-said, she-said.
" I hate to be blunt, but Carpenter, he's got a sterling reputation.
And Juliet, not so much.
And I'm afraid I have some more bad news.
Carpenter's suing you for defamation of character.
This is a joke? He's alleging you've ruined his career.
- And will never get a job teaching again.
- Good! And that man's an animal.
I don't want him I'm not paying him a cent.
This is exactly what I said would happen.
If the case goes South, which it has, Juliet will be vilified.
Well, we'll counter the suit.
We can counter anything.
It's just a matter of how quickly you want this to go away.
The last thing that our daughter needs right not is another trial.
You saw how upset she was today.
What? We tell her that she has to go through all of this again? She's gonna spend years in therapy.
Maybe we should settle.
You know, just get this creep out of our lives for good.
But it's millions of dollars! And if you drag this out with another lawsuit, she will never get a chance to start over.
Okay.
She needs new friends, a new school.
A chance to rebuild her reputation.
Look, I know it is an astronomical amount of money, but, I mean, it's just the starting price, right? Mm-hmm.
We have screwed up Juliet's life enough.
Let's not screw this up, too.
Surprised you called.
You were pretty shook up yesterday.
Yeah.
September 8th was the day before my sister killed herself.
Sorry to hear that.
I thought maybe I don't know Retracing the steps might give me some insight into why she did it.
My sister and I'd had a falling out.
But I thought she'd forgiven me before she died.
Turns out that I was wrong.
That's why I called you.
I need to finish what I started.
Last time I drove you here, you disappeared behind that door.
Interested in shooting today? Do you recognize me? Of course.
Though you haven't been here in a while.
Figured someone wasn't letting you play with guns anymore.
You were a pretty good shot For a girl.
I think I left something in one of the lockers.
Be my guest.
Where have you been? I've been calling you all day.
What do you want? To explain what happened yesterday.
Don't bother, Siobhan.
I'm done.
Why, because you had a conversation with my brother? Your brother? Am I not allowed to have a brother? Yeah, of course you are.
I just thought that And I thought we were past all of this.
Tyler, you have to start to trust me.
I'm sorry, all right? It's just having you so far away Look, the reason I called yesterday is because an I.
T.
Guy in the office has started asking questions, the wrong kind.
He wants to know why I'm accessing confidential Martin/Charles documents.
What did you tell him? Nothing.
But if he noticed, other people will, too.
I don't know how much longer I can do this, Siobhan.
Please, Tyler, you can't back out now.
If not for me, then for Do you recognize this guy? Was I coming here to protect myself from him? You weren't scared of this guy.
You were meeting him.
What? His name was John, right? He's your friend.
Are you sure you're not mistaken? I didn't introduce myself.
The name's Charlie.
Been sober four years.
Will you excuse me for one second? Yeah.
Malcolm, it's me.
Siobhan and John Delario were friends, but when we met, he introduced himself to me.
He had to have known I wasn't her.
It doesn't make any sense.
Oh, my God.
If-if John wasn't the killer, then does that mean that there's someone still after me? So what are you gonna do? Catherine thinks I should settle, and that's crazy, right? I don't know.
Carpenter's a monster.
I'm not gonna reward him for what he did.
I know.
It's just I don't know if Juliet could stand another trial.
She thought it was all over after today.
That's what Catherine said.
Leave me to explain to our friends Believe me, I hate saying this, but Catherine's right.
You should settle.
Let Juliet get the fresh start that she needs.
Have I been made hard? Did I even try? Well, there's a treat.
I don't think I've seen you smile in ages.
Well, it was a really bad day, but then mom had this brill idea to go ice skating.
It was amazing.
Then she, she totally fell.
It was, like, a YouTube moment.
And then we pigged out at serendipity.
It was fun.
We should go sometime.
It'd be fun.
Sounds good.
Didn't give up, I just got busy and now there are things that I've been given I'll call the attorneys in the morning.
I'm trying not to throw them out That's the right thing.
While most hedge funds suffered significant loss, you'll see our stellar earnings in the reports in front of you.
Your bottom line looks promising.
Are there any questions I can answer for you, Mr.
Arbogast? Tim.
Tim.
Can you assure me my money's in good hands? Absolutely.
We offer liquidity within Not you.
I'd like to hear from Henry.
The numbers don't lie, Tim.
We'll start with a reasonable amount and work our way up.
My office will draw up the paperwork.
Give me the photo.
This is the only one.
You can erase it yourself if you like.
Why should I believe you? I may be opportunistic, but I'm not a liar.
You can check my "sent" history.
No one's seen this photo except for you.
Morning, Ms.
Farrell.
Hey.
So, I called the army reserves.
I spoke to your former commanding officer.
I wanted recommendation.
She told me you were a true war-hero.
Um okay.
Why did you need to know that? I needed to know if I could trust you.
Hey, you've been in my car all week.
You still don't trust my driving? Not your driving.
Your discretion.
I want to hire you to protect me.
Protect you from what? Somebody's trying to kill me.
Excuse me? I took this ride to get answers.
But all I got were more questions.
What do you say? Will you help me, Solomon? I didn't realize you were home.
Why are the lights off? We settled.
Okay.
Thank you for talking me into it.
I agree.
It's the right thing to do.
Is everything okay? You don't look too good.
Excuse me? Uh, n I just meant something's a bit off.
Don't be offended.
We've all lost sleep over this trial.
Hey, have you heard from Juliet? I thought it'd be nice if we all had dinner together tonight? Where are you going? Do you want chocolate or marzipan? I'm sorry, what's marzipan? Oh, God, you're so ghetto.
Here.
I'll get it.
Do you know how hard it is to find a good liquor store in midtown? I still can't believe we pulled this off.
For you.
Thanks.
So, who wants to toast to being millionaires? I do.
I do.
Here's to spending daddy's money.
It's a beautiful lie this one is sweet this one I can't deceive Whoa, whiskey does not mix with wine.
Good job at the courthouse, by the way.
Oh, thanks.
You, too.
The tears were a nice touch.
Well, it's easy to cry when there's this much cash involved.
So, how did you get Andrea to squeal? Oh, it was easy.
She's got a bleeding heart and a tiny bladder.
We just followed her into the bathroom.
And pretended that we were alone Then played the whole Tessa's-not-gonna-testify bit.
Hey, Tessa, wait! Tessa! Juliet? Mr.
Martin? I have something major to tell you.
And she basically ran out and squealed.
Just like I'm glad we didn't have to bring her in on it.
We're already splitting this three ways.
So mean.
Don't spill.
To getting your trust fund back.
What? I thought this is what you wanted? It is.
Well, let's celebrate.
Okay.
Looking for something? Yeah, a silver key ring in the shape of a boat.
Have you seen it? No.
Well, has anyone else been in the apartment today? I mean, other than you and Juliet? Not that I'm aware of.
Are you all right? Yeah, I'm just confused.
Why? Earlier, you just seemed a bit distant.
Like I'd done something to upset you.
I'm sorry.
I've just been a little distracted.
Are you sure? Okay, now I believe you.
I'm gonna have to go back to Paris.
Bridget's getting too close to the truth.
I'm gonna have to get that information from Tyler.
Well, I'm coming with.
I need you to stay here.
You have to keep an eye on her.
Make sure she doesn't keep screwing things up.
Look, I don't want to be away from you again.
It's only temporary.
I didn't even ask you.
How were drinks with your father-in-law? Um, they were good.
They were fine.
I got him to invest in Martin/Charles.
You did what? Wh what is it? What did I say? It's what you did.
Why would you let him invest in Martin/Charles? It was Olivia.
She has a photograph of us from my phone that she stole, and she was gonna use it to blackmail me.
So, I was trying to protect us.
Do what you asked.
You should've come to me first.
Yeah, hi.
This is Tyler Barrett from Banque Trésonne.
You did an audit of my firm a couple months ago.
Well, I have reason to believe there might be some Less than scrupulous activity going on in my company.
What exactly are we looking for? I don't know.
Anything that might gives clues on who's trying to kill me.
Uh, I'll do the desk, and then, if you want to check the closet, there's a ton of boxes in there.
We don't need no money, we can make it all work but he headed out on Sunday, said he'd come home Monday I stayed up waitin', anticipatin' and pacin' but he was chasing paper What are you looking at? Were you inside this closet two days ago? No, I mean, I-I looked in it but didn't go into it.
Are those footprints? High heels.
Toes facing out.
Which means? Looks like the person this woman Didn't come in here to get something out of the closet.
She planted herself.
Almost as if She was watching you.
Your father-in-law's about to lose a lot of money.
All right, Siobhan, what are you talking about? Whether you fail or fly, well, at least you tried but when you walked out that door a piece of me died I told you I wanted more, it's not what I had in mind I just want it like before we were dancin' all night then they took you away Oh, my God.
