Twisted s01e13 Episode Script

- Previously on "Twisted" - Danny Desai has fled.
I think Vikram might be alive.
Nothing Vikram ever did surprised me.
I'm Charlie McBride.
I start mid-term tomorrow at Green Grove High.
- So I'll see you at school.
- Yeah.
I look forward to it.
- Do you really care about Vikram? - He's my husband.
He was your husband when we were together.
That was a long time ago.
- I'm totally in love with you.
- Rico.
Danny's prints are not on that murder weapon.
And all roads lead to Marilyn.
More like all roads lead to Vikram.
He made me take the blame for my aunt and then he framed for Regina.
Everything I did is for good reason.
You need to pay for what you did to me.
No, Jo, don't get off me! Give me that phone! Get off! - Oh my God.
Danny, he's - No.
- He is.
Oh God.
Oh.
- Hey.
Hey, look at me.
Look at me.
Are you okay? Did he hurt you? - This isn't happening.
- He was gonna he was gonna hurt you, okay? - That's he was gonna hurt you.
- I know.
I know.
I'm okay.
I can't believe this this actually Dead.
He's dead.
- Danny.
- I killed him.
I killed him, right? I killed my own father.
We should go get help.
No one can help us.
My dad can.
The police c The police are already hunting me for one murder.
They'll never believe me.
I can explain.
I can say that it was an accident, your dad was out of his mind and that you were trying to save me.
And who's gonna believe you? Especially now that the whole town knows you have Feelings for you.
There's only one thing I can do.
No.
I have to leave Green Grove for good.
- Danny, there has to be another option.
- No, there's not.
I just can't have this ruin your life, too.
- Don't worry about me.
- Of course I'm worried about you, Jo.
There's no other choice.
I can't keep this from my parents.
I'm sorry.
I have to tell them.
- I have to.
- I can't go to jail.
Jo, I can't go back there.
Okay, umm I can give you a head start.
I'll go home and I will pack a bag with food, clothes, money and whatever else you need.
- You don't you don't have to.
- Yeah, I do.
I have to, so I'll be back first thing tomorrow morning.
You'll still be here, right? Say you'll still be here.
I'll still be here.
- Maybe she went to bed.
- It's not even that late.
I don't know.
Stress makes Jo sleepy.
Do you really think she knows where Danny went? I just hope he's all right.
He could be anywhere.
He'll be fine.
He's super agile and crafty and he has that long, thick hair, so That'll keep his ears warm.
As long as his ears are warm.
Come on.
Everything is gonna work out, all right? Chief Masterson is gonna solve the case then Danny'll come back and you two can, you know, spoon, cuddle and stuff.
What? No, that's not even why I just wanna help him.
He's been through so much.
- Yeah.
- I have to talk to Gloria Crane.
She knows something else.
I'm sure of it.
Why? Because she's standing next to Danny's dad in a few pictures? Maybe he's just really into horses.
Or maybe Gloria knew what was going on between Regina and Vikram.
Okay, but if she knew anything, why wouldn't she have just told the cops? That's what I need to find out.
Jo.
Hold on a second.
Mom, hey.
I was just what's up? - Where have you been? - Just out, walking around.
I guess I just lost track of time.
I'm sorry.
I was worried, honey.
We're all a little on edge - with everything that's happening.
- I know.
I'm sorry.
I'm gonna go to bed, okay? So what did Mayor Rollins say? He insisted Albany sent Marilyn to him, claimed he never even knew her.
- Seemed a little convenient.
- A little? All right, everyone, listen up! Finding Marilyn Rossi is now our top priority.
I want you to track her phone, track her computer.
I want you to alert the State Troopers, - let them know all the - Is this about Danny? - Karen, I'm right in - Did you find him? Not yet, but we're looking for Marilyn Rossi now.
She disappeared from her motel room about half an hour ago.
So that confirms that she was setting Danny up.
Right? - I'm sorry, you are ? - Jack Taylor.
Jack's an old friend.
Kyle, what does this mean? - Why would she run? - Your old friend is right.
She falsified that evidence.
We have proof she altered it, forged the report.
That pipe wasn't even a real murder weapon.
- Danny's prints were nowhere on it.
- He's still out there alone, terrified, thinking you're after him.
I know, but we have to find Marilyn first.
The only reason she'd frame Danny is to cover for herself or for someone else.
And that someone else you still think is Vikram.
These these are some of Vikram's things.
- I used to work for him.
- Jack took care of Vik's boat.
He found his things that he'd left behind some files, some disks.
I don't know.
I thought maybe it would help you track him down.
We'll look into it.
Well, tell me what else I can do.
Nothing.
Go home.
I can't just sit around waiting.
Yes, you can.
And if Danny contacts you, tell him to come back, tell him I'll protect him.
Okay.
Uh, just a second, mom.
Um, okay.
Sorry, it's it's me.
Can I come in? Um, yeah.
- What are you - I just wanted to make sure you were okay after all of our fugitive-harboring shenanigans, so Your mom said you just got home, so I didn't think I was bothering you.
But if I am, I can I can leave.
No, Rico.
It's fine.
You're right, it's just been a long day, so So why haven't you been answering your phone? Lacey and I have been trying you all night.
Sorry about that, it died.
I mean, the battery I need to charge it.
That's cool.
Lacey is wondering if you knew where Danny went.
- She's pretty worried about him.
- He's fine.
Oh, so you do know where he is? I mean, I'm sure he's fine, 'cause he's Danny.
Right.
Okay.
That's what I what I told her.
I hope we're right.
I keep thinking maybe I made a mistake, like maybe I don't know I should've just called the cops when he first showed up at my place.
- No, you did the right thing.
- Yeah, well, I thought I did.
But now I'm thinking about it and it's like, we're all just kids, even Danny.
He seems a lot older because he was a prisoner and stuff, but running and hiding from the police is nuts.
I don't know how he's supposed to handle that by himself.
I can barely handle the chemistry quiz we have this week, and that's only like half as scary.
Yeah, I haven't studied for that thing at all.
Yeah.
Well, I should I should go.
Okay.
Umm Thank you for checking on me.
Danny? Danny, it's me.
Danny, I Hey.
- I was worried that you'd already - I'm not gonna run.
I thought about it all night and I can't leave.
How could I not see my mother again? Or Lacey? Or you? Yeah, I kinda realized the same thing.
Fleeing is not the best plan.
Plus I don't think your clothes would fit me all too well.
Okay, so if you're not running, then I'm going back, right now, and I'm telling the truth.
All of it.
Okay.
I'll be with you the whole time.
- We'll tell the police together.
- We're not telling the police.
We're telling the one person that might be able to help us your dad.
Whatever the consequences.
What are you thinking? Everyone's treated me like a killer for so long.
It was an accident, Danny.
I still did it.
In self-defense.
He was gonna hurt you.
He wanted to hurt both of us.
And I wanted to hurt him, too.
I was so angry.
And a part of me I think in that moment a part of me just wanted him to die.
Well, I don't blame you.
I guess we'll see if other people feel the same way.
They will.
They have to.
The things that he did to you, Danny.
I wonder if anything was real with him.
You know? Like Maybe he never loved me.
Maybe he wasn't capable of loving anyone.
Sociopaths don't care about other people, remember? I guess I'll just never know.
I'll I'll never know why he killed Tara.
Well, we know you didn't.
That's all that matters, okay? Don't waste your time on questions that you may never be able to answer.
It's not worth it.
He's not worth it.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Just wanted to see how you were.
Well, I'm fine.
Good.
Okay.
- You sleep at all last night? - Not really.
I I just keep wondering if there's something else I can do.
There isn't.
- Let the police do their job.
- This is all my fault.
I overlooked Vikram's well, his flaws for years - and now - Hey hey hey, you did the best you could.
You're a great mom.
And you're a smart, amazing woman.
Vikram never deserved you.
You need to be with someone who appreciates you.
Jack, don't.
Okay? I already told you I can't do this.
Hey, you came to me for a reason.
Yeah, I needed your help.
I think you miss me.
I miss my son - And I just want him back.
- I know.
I'm sorry.
I, uh I think you should go.
Okay.
If that's what you really want.
Hey, just spoke to the State Troopers, still no sign of miss Rossi's vehicle on any major road, highway, outer space.
- Chief, are you listening? - Hey, Eddie, come here.
Check this out.
- Articles of incorporation - For Marna, Inc.
Just read the bottom.
Signed by Vikram Desai and Mayor John Rollins.
He lied.
He had to have known that Marilyn worked for Vikram when he hired her.
So nice of you to stop by, Lacey.
Are you gonna stay and watch the show? I can get you a front-row seat.
Actually, I was kind of thinking of staying back here with you, - maybe helping out a bit.
- Well, we can always use some help.
Go find Elaine.
She'll put you to work.
Okay.
Lacey Porter, are you stalking me? I'm not really sure that this qualifies as official stalking.
Fine, stalking adjacent Unless you're here to try and grill the boss lady.
No grilling, just light chatting.
Sure, sure, light chatting about your buddy Danny being accused of murdering Mrs.
Crane's daughter.
I told you Danny didn't murder anyone.
Except his aunt, right? I did a little Internet browsing last night.
Green grove is not as idyllic as it looks, huh? Whatever.
I should've never talked to you about any of this.
Yeah, but see, the thing is I'm actually pretty good at getting people to open up to me.
I could help you with the boss lady if you want, butter her up.
What do you say? I say that saddle looks pretty heavy.
You should keep on moving.
What? What, this little thing? It's light as a feather.
Sure.
Sure.
This is my third message.
I'm not sure why you refuse to pick up your pho Mom.
Okay, what's going on? I woke up and you were gone.
You can't keep doing this.
Hey, Mrs.
Masterson.
Danny.
Oh, thank God you're okay.
Everyone's been so worried about you.
I'm gonna call your mother right now.
- Mom, wait.
- Wait.
- We need to talk to dad.
- It's it's really important.
Can you call him and ask him to come home? He's off looking for that investigator, Marilyn Rossi.
He has proof that she faked that evidence against you.
He knows you didn't kill Regina, Danny.
This whole ordeal is almost over.
I was so worried.
I know, mom, but I'm okay.
You must've been so scared.
Where were you? Where were you hiding? Uhm, it's kind of a long story, so You know what? It doesn't matter.
You're back and you're safe.
Everything will be okay now.
I promise.
Did you talk to Kyle? - Yeah, he was so relieved.
- No thanks.
He said Danny should keep a low profile while he figures all this out.
Nothing about the case, Marilyn? - Vikram? - Uh, no.
But he sounded positive.
I don't think I've ever seen your mom act like this before.
What, happy? Yeah, I guess that's pretty rare.
Well, at least they're getting a chance to enjoy all of this - before we - Blow it all up? - Yeah.
- Jo, none of this changes anything that happened out there.
Remember that.
Ready to go? Now? Don't you don't you think that we should wait for Chief Masterson? He said I should keep a low profile.
That doesn't mean I can't take you home.
Come on.
I'll make you something to eat.
You can shower, get some rest.
You're not a suspect anymore, okay? Stop thinking that way.
Come on.
Uh, I'll talk to you.
I'm proud of you.
Getting him to come back was the right thing to do.
Tell the councilman I understand his position his constituents.
I get it.
But we You lied to me, John.
Excuse me for a second, okay? What the hell are you talking about? You and Vikram were business partners?! - I hold on.
- And when I asked you about Marna before, you pretended you never even heard of it.
- I can explain.
- You better, because my next stop is the D.
A.
- And then it goes public.
- Just calm down, okay? Now look, this thing with Vikram, - I know how it looks.
- How it looks?! It looks illegal, John! Now why'd you put Marilyn on the case? - Did Vikram send her to you? - No, Vikram had Well, he and Marilyn are involved in Regina's murder, and I'm starting to think you might be, too.
- What? Kyle, wh - Tell me the truth! Why did you hire Marilyn? The case was gettin out of hand, okay? You were losing focus and a a silent partner at Marna said that Marilyn could help, that she was top notch, the best.
But I swear to you, I had no idea about this connection with Vikram.
What silent partner? Gloria Crane.
Hey.
You were always so willing to get your hands dirty, even as a kid.
Regina, well, she never actually wanted to touch the horses.
Just ride them once they were groomed and ready.
I remember.
I think about her all the time.
Me too, especially on days like today.
In the last few days with with Danny on the run Yes, well, hopefully they'll find him soon and we can all get some closure.
Yeah, I hope that's enough, finding him.
There's still so many questions.
Well, it's really very simple, dear.
Danny Desai is a psychopathic killer.
I don't think so.
Mrs.
Crane, I know that it's easier to believe that Danny did this, but what if he didn't? What if the wrong person goes to jail for your daughter's murder? What if Vikram is involved? Vikram? Vikram Desai is dead.
We don't think he is.
If you know anything else, you have to tell.
You have to go to the police and tell them right now.
What else do you need, Lacey? There's a murder weapon with his fingerprints on it, he has no discernible alibi, he fled when the police showed up at his home - and he took her necklace.
- No, he didn't.
Then why was it in his locker? I I'm done here.
I'm done talking to you about this.
You okay? - Yeah, that was kind of - Intense? Yeah, it sounded like she was gonna eat you alive.
- What you say to her? - Chief Masterson.
- Lacey.
- Did you tell Gloria Crane that Danny found - the necklace in his locker? - No, why? Because she knew about it.
She just told me.
Do you think she was the one that put it there? I don't want to have to say it again.
People need to take their horses straight back to the stalls after they compete, okay? Thank you.
We need to talk.
Now.
What's the matter? It's turkey and swiss your favorite.
Thanks.
I I just guess I'm not as hungry as I thought.
How can you not be hungry? What, were you out there hunting wild boar? Look, I know you must be traumatized after everything that's happened, but it's over now.
It's not that simple.
- It can be.
- No.
It can't.
This is about your father, isn't it? Jo told me that you overheard me and Kyle talking, how he might still be alive and his possible involvement in all of this.
Listen to me.
We don't need him.
- We have each other.
- Just stop.
Okay, please, just stop talking.
You have no clue what I am going through.
Something happened out there, the last few days.
I I did something.
I did something that I can't take back.
It doesn't matter.
You were trapped in an extreme situation.
And whatever you did out there, you need to leave it out there.
Okay? Like it never happened.
How can how can you say that? Because it's true.
I lost you for five years.
I can't lose you again.
Mom, our whole family is built on secrets, and I will not add another one to that pile.
I don't know what else you want me to say.
How about the truth? You're either protecting someone else - or you're protecting yourself! - Myself? - How could you imply - Gloria, you set up an innocent 16-year-old boy! He's not innocent! Vikram saw him! He saw him kill my baby! Regina called me that night that she It was very late and she'd been drinking.
She said that she was inviting Danny over.
She was gonna tell him everything that she knew about Vikram being alive, about About what? Vikram and I were having an affair.
Regina found out.
She followed me one night when I went to meet him.
No one else could know that Vikram was alive.
It was too dangerous for him.
So Vikram paid her to keep quiet? I didn't know about the blackmail until that night when she called.
She told me that she didn't want his money anymore, that she couldn't keep all of this from Danny.
Who knows what else she told that boy? He must've flown into a rage - Vikram lied to you.
- No.
He loved me.
And I loved him.
He was planning to leave Karen for me.
He tried to help me.
He sent Marilyn.
She got that necklace, gave it to me.
And when I went to school to pick up Regina's things, I put it there in Danny's locker.
Marilyn had the combination I don't know how but she promised me that the police would check there.
She told me that they would find it.
Marilyn's a criminal.
She planted a fake murder weapon and then she disappeared, just like Vikram.
- I need to know where he is.
- I don't know.
He moved around a lot.
He always called from a blocked number what about Marilyn? You know how to reach her, don't ya? Gloria? I got your message.
Gloria couldn't make it.
You're smarter than that, Marilyn.
Step away from the weapon, hands on your head where I can see 'em.
You know the drill.
Up against the wall.
If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.
Do you understand the rights that I've just read to you? With these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me? What do you think? You killed Regina, didn't you? That why Vikram paid you the 100,000? To kill her? To make his own son take the fall for it? All of the above? You really want to go down for this alone? I have Gloria Crane willing to testify that you took the necklace from that crime scene.
I have a fake murder weapon and proof that Vikram paid you.
I strongly suggest you start talking.
Doesn't matter what I say.
You'll never find him.
Who? Vikram? Sorry, Chief, you're too late.
He's long gone by now.
Let's go.
- Is he still here? - Lacey, what Where is he? Is he okay? He's fine.
He was here.
He just went home already.
He really wants to see you.
He's just he's with his mom, so Okay.
Why didn't you call me when he came back? It's been a crazy day.
I should've.
I just How'd you even know he was here? - Your dad told me.
- When did you I was at the police station, giving a statement about Gloria Crane.
Regina's mom? - Jo, get in here.
- Yeah.
In a shocking development, police have apprehended investigator Marilyn Rossi in the murder of Regina Crane.
Rossi's arrest comes only weeks after widespread belief that local teen Danny Desai - was the leading suspect in the case.
- I can't believe it.
I know, it's - It's amazing.
- He finally has a chance to start over.
What are you doing? Calling Danny.
Miss Rossi will remain here in custody until the D.
A.
arrives and takes her official statement.
Did she say why she killed her? Even with Mss Rossi's confession, this is still an ongoing investigation.
I can't comment on a specific motive.
Thank you.
That's all I have for you now.
Thank you.
- Danny! Get over here! - Mom, what are you doing here? Go home.
- Danny! Danny Desai.
- Please get in the car! All right, wait a second.
- Give him some room.
Give him some room.
- Danny! Okay, okay, back off, back off.
- Give him some room.
- Danny, how does it feel - to finally be vindicated? - Danny, could we get a statement? - After all you've been through.
- I just want to say, on behalf of myself and the entire Green Grove police department I'm sorry, Danny.
I'm sorry for everything you had to go through.
Danny, the whole town was wrong about you.
How do you feel? Umm I feel great.
It feels really great.
Excuse me.
My son has been through enough.
He's done talking now.
Ms.
Desai, how are you feeling about all this? I feel amazing.
I've always known that Danny's innocent.
And to have the whole town think you're a suspect it's taken it's toll.
So we're ready for a fresh start.
In your wildest dreams, did you ever think it'd end like this? I knew the truth would come out.
My son is innocent.
You again.
Wow.
I saw you on the news.
I wanted to head down and check out the party.
Sorry, the party's pretty much over.
Ah.
Oh well.
Hey, I'm glad things worked out for your buddy Danny.
Me too.
So why are you Walking back alone? Shouldn't you be out celebrating with the guy? He went home with his mom.
Just tired, you know? - I totally get it.
- Yeah yeah.
Sure, of course.
Sorry if I was a little tense with you today at the stable.
It was just - A tense situation.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
I was there.
I thought you handled it pretty well, actually.
Thanks.
Well, I should go.
- So I'll see you at school.
- Yeah.
- See you.
- Bye.
Kyle.
I'm so glad you're okay.
I'm fine, honey.
I'm fine.
It's all over, isn't it? You should be so proud of yourself.
- I know I am.
- Vikram's still out there.
Cut yourself a break.
You caught Regina's killer today.
Marilyn didn't act alone.
- Maybe she did.
- He paid her for it.
And now, for some reason, she's covering for him.
He seems good at getting people to cover for him.
He's out there somewhere, and I'm gonna find him.
There's still all these reporters camped out front.
I didn't really feel like getting my picture taken, so You're doing the right thing.
It's better this way.
It's better for everyone if we just No one ever has to know.
- We'll know.
- We'll forget.
How? - Danny.
- What are we supposed to do? - Go back to our lives? - We have to.
Forget what we saw? What I did? How? How can you do that? Danny, because I have to.
You have a chance to be this to be this normal person To start over with everyone, with the whole town.
Do you know how rare that is? To get a second chance? You can't give that up.
I won't let you.
Maybe I don't deserve a second chance, Jo.
You deserve it more than anyone.
Not more than you.
I can't forget.
But I'm not gonna say anything for you.
- And for yourself.
- No.
For you.
And for Lacey.
I just want both of you to be happy.
And we can be.
All three of us.
I hope you're right.
So do the police still think Danny's dad is behind it all? I don't know.
All that matters is that it's over now.
Right, yeah, of course.
So how's Danny doing? Good.
He's good.
I think he's just relieved.
We all are.
Yeah, I bet.
You seemed pretty upset when I came over last night.
Yeah.
Well, it was stressful, so What are you working on? Oh, that chemistry quiz.
Remember? Right.
I am so screwed for that.
I'll catch you up.
Okay.
Thanks.
Rico.
We never actually discussed, like What happened with us.
Oh yeah, look, we don't we don't need to talk about that, you know.
- That was like a millennium ago.
- Yeah.
I think it was only two nights.
- Yeah, it was only two nights.
- I just I wanna make sure you know how much I These nights that we've spent here in our booth? I've never appreciated them more.
- Really? - Definitely.
They're some of the best nights of my life.
Hey.
Your mom said that you were at Johnny cakes.
Are you on your way to go see him? Danny? No.
I'm sure he needs time to decompress.
This is all so weird, isn't it? What's weird? It's all finally over.
Everything with Regina and Danny.
I feel like I can breathe for the first time in weeks.
You really care about him, don't you? - We both do.
- Yeah but, I mean, with everything you've done to help him, to prove his innocence.
You two should be together.
- Jo, come on, we didn't - No, I'm serious.
Don't worry about me.
If you want to be with him, you should.
I never asked you what what do you think Danny was gonna tell your dad? Oh, at the at the police station? Yeah, he seemed really anxious to talk to him.
You think it was about Vikram and aunt Tara? I don't know.
Maybe.
I hope so.
I mean, it's not like he needs to protect his dad anymore, right? So he might as well tell the truth he was never a killer.
Well, maybe it's easier to leave all of that in the past, though.
I mean, would anyone even believe him after five years? - There's no one there to back him up.
- Except Vikram.
I hope your dad finds him.
Me too.
Ms.
Desai, how do you feel about all this? I feel amazing.
I've always known Don't do this to yourself.
I tried your whole life to protect you from him, who he really is.
I just wish I had done a better job.
But you're okay.
You grew into this great person, this wonderful man.
A better man than your father.
I'm not so sure about that.
What? How can you even say that? - Because it's true.
- Danny, if you're upset about something, just try not to think about it.
You can go on pretending that everything is perfect, and I will be thinking about this for the rest of my life.
I might as well be back in prison.
Vikram, it's me again.
Why aren't you picking up? Kyle's looking for you.
He's determined to find you.
I'm so confused.
I don't know what to believe anymore.
I can't keep doing this.
No more lies, no more secrets.
You have to turn yourself in.
It's time to explain.
You need to explain everything.
