The Lying Game

My name is Emma Becker.

I grew up in a ton of foster homes

and then... surprise!... I find out I have a twin sister.

You want me to take your place...

I was the pauper, she was the princess.

Being Sutton was a fantasy come true.

It all worked perfectly until that kiss...

You're not Sutton.

We tried to stay apart, out of respect for Sutton

and what she had with Ethan, but we couldn't.

Of course I didn't know, in L.A.,

Sutton had secrets of her own.

Part of me wanted just to run,

but I couldn't leave my new family,

even when I found out they were keeping the truth

about our birth mother a secret.

The woman's dead.

What are we going to tell her

when she finds out that isn't true?

Then Sutton came back to scottsdale,

and things got dangerous.

Someone tried to kill me!

Next, a woman named Rebecca showed up,

with so many lies of her own.

Sutton went into hiding,

because there was someone out there

willing to kill to keep us a secret.

Who sent you?

Dealer was beaten to death last night.

Ethan was blamed for Derek's murder

and had to go on the run.

This time, when Sutton seduced him,

she wasn't pretending to be anybody except herself.

I love you. I always have.

I had no idea.

And when Ethan returned, I thought things

would go back to the way they were.

But it didn't work out that way.

- I'm sorry; I can't. - Why?

I kissed Sutton on the ranch.

But it's over now.

Ethan has feelings for someone else.

Meanwhile, there was still a killer out there.

If that picture gets into the wrong hands...

- I might have a solution. - Okay.

We're getting married.

Digging into Rebecca's past,

we uncovered another secret.

Woman (Over phone): The love of her life.

She always had a photograph of his in a locket.

Oh, my God... Ted.

Dad and Rebecca had an affair.

- Kristin, whatever Rebecca said... - What does is feel like

building a family on a Mountain of lies?

- You guys need to see this. - Oh, my God...

I pronounce you husband and wife.

You're under arrest for the murder of Derek Rogers.

No! Come with us, please.

I was set up!

Hey, you okay?

So many things I knew.

So many things I still had to find out.

Hi, mom.

It's all working perfectly, Sutton.

Here they come! (Reporters clamoring)

Is he guilty?!

Did you text your heart out to someone about it?!

Is he guilty? Is he guilty?

Can't tell us anything?

Here she comes, over here.

How do you feel about this?

Only a few questions, please,

as I need to get inside to be with my husband.

Guys, I need a minute.

Save us seats?

God, look at these circles.

No sleep, huh?

It's too much partying.

Especially last night.

I so wanted today to never come.

He's gonna make bail, Emma.

And when he does,

we are all so thoroughly screwed:

Me, Thayer, you;

everyone who put him in jail.

Honestly, I don't really care. I'm sorry,

but I'm here to confront him,

and I just, I need to know why

he would kill Derek

and what that has to do with my birth mother.

I have one shot,

and I'm gonna go straight for the heart.

If that was supposed to make me feel better, it didn't.

Sorry.

It's okay.

Why don't you go on ahead? I'll meet you.

Okay.

Sutton, what are you doing here?

Burning curiosity.

Plus I knew that you were going to confront Alec,

and I wanted to see it.

Okay, well, what if somebody sees you?

This is risky.

Rebecca: Oh, Sutton.

Hi, Rebecca. Excuse me.

Actually, I was hoping I could apologize.

- For what? - Well, you know,

you were trying to warn me about Alec,

and I refused to believe you.

But see, I, I was...

I am, I'm in love with him.

And I just think that he's still being framed.

I'm sure there's a ton of theories out there.

Now if you'll excuse me,

I'm just gonna go be with my friends.

Of course.

Sutton: Gotta say, that was quite impressive.

How'd it go with you?

I played nice, just like you suggested.

She thinks that we're still hot on the trail

of finding our birth mother.

Not going to happen.

Alec is gonna spend tonight in jail,

and many more nights.

In the meantime, Sutton,

I need you to keep getting closer to your sister.

- Even if I really don't feel it? - Just do what

I do with Alec.

Pretend that you love him

until he gets thrown in the gas chamber?

Actually, it's lethal injection now.

Wish me luck.

Judge: Murder, conspiracy,

failure to cooperate with law enforcement.

I really have no choice in this matter.

Bail is denied.

The defendant will be remanded into custody

until a trial date can be set.

We'll take a ten-minute recess. (Gavel bangs)

You're fired.

Oh, my gosh.

Hey, dad.

Guys, I know this is still awkward,

but the offer stands.

You can stay with me, there's plenty of room,

and now that your dad's not getting...

gonna get out any time soon...

That's okay, Rebecca, but we're good at home.

- Right, Mads? - Yeah.

- This must be so tough on you two. - Thayer: Yes, it is.

Thanks again for the offer, but we're fine.

Okay.

If your mom would just talk to me, or listen...

I have... I have an idea.

Fairway Music Fest is this weekend, right?

You're performing.

- Mm-hmm. - If you just get her there,

I'll do the rest.

Ted. Thank you for coming.

You and Alec are such good friends.

- Your support means everything to him. - Mm-hmm.

Ted, does it really have to be this way?

Yeah, it does.

But we have so much in common now.

What we have is what we had,

which was a brief affair a zillion years ago.

An affair that ruined my marriage.

I thought it was the lies that you told Kristin

that ruined your marriage.

Hey...

stay out of my life, Rebecca, you hear me?

Emma: It was so weird.

He actually winked at me.

Like he knows something, or he's ahead of the game.

You can't engage him.

Look, I've always felt that Derek's murder

had something to do with our birth mother.

- I think Alec knows who she is. - Okay,

you are not going to see him, do you understand?

All he's gonna do is heap on more lies.

Even behind bars, that man is dangerous.

All right, Mads, come on.

Let's get the car and meet these guys out front.

What was that all about?

Just something about their father.

Uh-oh.

Awkward.

- Hey. - Hi.

I didn't see you in the courtroom.

I... I wasn't there.

I had a meeting with my parole officer.

I've been skipping school and, um...

well, you know.

Wow.

Let him drive the convertible now, huh?

That's pretty serious.

Rebecca: Soon Alec will be convicted,

and I will fleece him in the divorce,

and win back Ted,

and have my family back together again.
