The first 194 lines.
(police radio chatter and sirens)
Her name was Yasmin Davis.
I recognize her from town.
She died from a gunshot wound to the chest.
Call the mayor. He should be informed right away.
You got it, detective.
Hi, babe.
Hey, you. I just wanted to make sure you got into Rivertown OK.
I just made it to Andrea's Cafe.
Good. Well, uh, I miss you already.
The house feels empty without you.
I miss you too. But three weeks will go by fast.
I'm so excited to see Andrea! I missed her in Philadelphia.
Yeah! How long has it been?
Four years now since she's moved back.
Well, I will let you head in. But text me later, OK?
Bye!
Andrea!
Grace, you made it!
Oh, it's so good to see you!
This place is beautiful!
It's even better than in the pictures!
Thank you! Here, sit down.
How are you? Was the drive OK? - It's great.
Uh, let me order you a coffee. - Oh, thanks.
Uh, hey! Can we get her a coffee, please?
Thank you.
Thank you so much for getting me this job with Alex Turner.
It came at the perfect time.
No problem. I'm just glad it worked out.
I still can't believe he became Mayor.
Have you talked to Alex since high school?
Not at all.
I haven't seen him since he graduated,
and he was a few years ahead of us.
Thanks.
Thank you.
Oh, there he is now.
God, he looks stressed.
I would not want to be in his shoes right now.
Why? What do you mean?
Do you remember Craig Davis from school?
Yeah. He lived a few blocks over from me.
His sister Yasmin was found dead in the woods
on the outskirts of town.
Oh, my God. That's terrible. - Yeah, I know.
And she was working with Alex in the mayor's office.
She was really well-liked.
How long ago did they find her?
About four months ago. But they still haven't arrested anyone.
I mean, people want answers.
Things like that just don't happen here.
Hey. Alex.
The regular?
Yes, please. That'd be great..
Grace. Wonderful to see you.
You too.
It's been a long time. - Yeah!
I'm looking forward to meeting Emily and Andy in person.
They're looking forward to it as well.
They liked you a lot when you guys Facetimed.
I feel like we've done a thousand interviews
for a permanent nanny.
Um, Emily's very protective of Andy.
And so she's very careful who she lets close to him.
Well, that's awesome. I'm happy to help.
I'm sorry. My phone's been blowing up nonstop lately.
Oh. Emily can't pick up Andy from school today.
I'm gonna call my mom and see if she...
Why don't I pick him up?
That's why I'm here, right?
I mean...
It's no trouble at all. Seriously.
I can pick up Andy and I'll just unpack later when he's in bed.
That'd be an amazing help. Thank you.
Thanks, Andrea.
You're welcome.
Uh, look, I've gotta run.
Here are your house keys.
I'll have our housekeeper, Louise, give you a call
with the details about Andy's school.
I've already added you to the pickup list.
But call me or Louise if you have any trouble.
Got it.
Right. I'll see you tonight.
Great. Thanks.
Thank you, Andrea.
Bye! (Chuckle)
See! I told you! It's gonna be great.
Gonna be great. - Yeah!
Wow. Your house is gorgeous, Andy.
It's all right.
It's a little more than all right,
Oh, my God!
When are Mom and Dad gonna be home?
I'm not sure exactly.
They should be home in time for dinner, though.
Wanna see my rock collection?
Sure.
Not so fast.
Hi, Grandma.
You must be the temporary nanny?
Yes. I'm Grace.
Grace Clarkson, right?
Well, Grace Anderson now.
I'm Vivian, Alex's mother.
It's good to meet you.
I remember your parents.
We sold their house when they moved to Philadelphia.
Oh! Small world.
And you need to work on your school project;
Your presentation is right around the corner.
How far along are you?
I haven't started.
Why don't I help out? I'm a third-grade teacher.
So I'm a pro.
Why don't we come up with something together? Hm? Yeah?
So, you used to be a teacher?
I still am! But I'm a writer too,
so I'm gonna focus on that for now.
So, you need a school project, huh?
Well, it should be something fun.
What are you interested in? Volcanos? Space?
Colin! Can we have pizza for dinner tonight?
I will see what I can whip up.
Hi, I'm Colin. House chef.
Hi, I'm Grace.
Nice to meet you.
You too.
Mhm.
So, you like pizza, huh?
You know, I went to Rome a few years ago.
Best pizza of my life.
I'm Italian like my dad. That's why we love pizza.
That's awesome!
Hey, maybe you can do your project on your ancestry.
I could help you and we make a whole family tree.
I do it with my students in school every year.
We could even get a mail-in DNA test,
so you know what percentage Italian you are!
Cool!
Oh, I didn't see you there.
Oh, is that a family tree? How fun!
You must be Louise.
It's nice to finally meet you.
Yes. Lovely to have you here.
You know, Andy's been struggling a little
since our last nanny left.
It'll be good to get him back into a routine again.
Yeah.
Alex called to let me know that he and Emily
are on their way home. Dinner's about to be served.
Perfect. Andy's just washing his hands.
We'll meet in the dining room.
Great.
So where do you usually sit?
I usually sit there. Dad sits there, Mom sits there
and Grandma sits there.
Guess I'll sit here!
Emily: That's a great point.
Alex: So we agree. He's on the invite list.
Yes.
Hi, Grace, nice to finally meet you in person.
Andrea had nothing but lovely things to say about you.
We're so glad she suggested you for the job.
Blast from the past! (Laughs)
I'm happy to be here.
Hello!
Hey, it's me.
How's everything going?
It's really great.
Andy is awesome and Emily is so sweet.
We're all getting along really well here.
I'm glad. I finally have someone on the inside.
What do you mean?
The Turners are really secretive.
I've always been curious about what goes on
behind closed doors.
You are so nosey. I'm not going to spy on them for you.
Anyways, everyone else in the house seems really nice.
I think I'll like it here.
Good. You should come by the cafe tomorrow.
I will! I'll stop by after I drop Andy off at school.
Perfect. I'll see you then.
Bye!
Grace.
How you settling in?
You scared me. (Chuckle)
Sorry, I was just sneaking out for a smoke.
It's no problem.
Andy's a great kid, huh?
Yeah. He's a little shy, but he'll warm up.
How long have you been working here?
About six months.
