The first 200 lines.
How did you know there was someone in your house, Lily?
He left fingernails!
You know something about Sandy's death.
They were talking about some mess they were in.
I've been prepping for this mess all day.
Did you destroy evidence?
You let me think that my dad had an affair with a teenager
and it was you!
He's dead! I'm alive!
The video's taken the night Jesse died.
That means you weren't at home.
That means you can't alibi Tom.
He's finding a temporary situation.
Some desperate girl who'll fall over herself to be with him.
You don't have to feel pain to be with someone.
You don't have to drive someone to the edge of fucking sanity.
Who are you?!
Hey! Eddie!
Come on, Eddie.
Oh, come on! Just open the fucking door.
Please!
Eddie! Hey!
I'm so sorry about last night.
Classic Annie Ryder.
Well, you got into a fight, too.
It's not like you're that evolved.
I'm trying, Annie.
Why is that a win for you?
It's not.
I'm just trying to, to make a change.
And I don't know why you won't let me.
I have a brother.
- I just found out. - What?
What do you mean you have a brother?
His name's Adam.
He's nine years older than me.
He thinks I'm his only family.
He's pretty messed up.
- Well, how do you know? - Did, did you see him?
I went to dad's fishing cabin.
Why the fuck did you go there?
He's messed up how?
I don't, I don't know.
I don't have the answers.
Jesus.
I don't think he's my mom's.
My parents were only together for a couple of years
before they had me.
Is he fucking dangerous?
_
Tom lied. His alibi is bullshit.
You said you didn't pick Jesse up.
But we know you did.
We can place Jesse in the white truck.
We're getting a warrant to check your phone, GPS,
scrub down your truck.
Your best chance is to tell us what happened
before the evidence comes back.
My best chance, huh?
Wow, that's great. That's uh...
that's appealing.
Tom, have you been drinking?
If there's an explanation...
that's gonna get you out of a 25-year-prison sentence,
I'd get into it.
You picked Jesse up...
Yeah. Okay. I picked him up.
But I... I didn't hurt him!
What did you do?
B-Bethany was freaking out because of the fight at the,
at the scrap yard, you know.
And ah...
Lily asked me to pick Jesse up, and uh,
meet her at the church.
Can anyone confirm this?
Father J.
The mayor, the priest and the hockey coach
all saw Jesse the night he was killed.
And lied about it.
Bring them in.
Hey.
Are we gonna have a problem here?
Not if you keep it clean.
Hey Ryder,
I'm sitting outside Father J's.
I'll let you know when I have Mother.
You know I, I really hate to do this...
I didn't know anything about this conversion therapy.
Bethany called me.
- From the scrap yard? - Yes.
She, Jacob and Max had apparently been trying
to help Jesse.
It was misguided, obviously.
It was time some adults got involved.
How did you end up at the church?
Jesse called just after the scrap yard.
Mother said to meet her there with him.
Just, just to talk.
And, and what did you talk to Jesse about?
We were worried about him.
We tried to tell him he was on the wrong path.
Because you feel that your path is the only path?
We told Jesse how much the people of Bellevue loved him.
How they loved Jesse so much, that they electrocuted her
to get her to reject who she really was?
The world is the world. If he didn't open his eyes,
this was just gonna keep happening to him.
We got there around 12:30. We left just after one.
You sure about that?
Yeah. I heard a bell, it chimed once for one.
So you talked to Jesse. Obviously it didn't go well.
Then what? Jesse go back in Tom's truck?
- No. - I'm sorry. I'm sorry. What?
No! He didn't get back in my fucking truck.
- What? - He ran out.
Jesse was seen in a white truck later that night.
Are you saying that wasn't your truck?
The church was the last I saw of him, okay?
I swear.
You have to understand that it looks bad
that you didn't tell us any of this before.
The town needed its leaders to be strong.
We didn't want Bellevue to know
that we'd failed Jesse right before he...
He was seen alive after we met.
I absolutely would've come forward, but it just didn't seem relevant.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Seeing a dead kid on the night that he died
didn't seem relevant?
Can I have the room?
You know me.
You know everything about me.
Yes, I do.
Hey.
Ah... last night it was ah... k-kinda crazy.
I'm sorry I ah...
- Yeah, me too. - Yeah.
He says Jesse ran away.
Yeah. So did Jameson.
At least they got their story straight.
Well, Tom says he heard a clock chime one,
right before they left.
So they took Jesse to the church to talk?
Yeah. You can talk anywhere.
_
People watch everything...
You gotta snap out of this.
... Appreciate the courage.
You can ask too much of them...
There'll be consequences to that beating.
Should never, never have happened.
Someone was at the church,
they saw everything.
The clock that Tom thought he heard
was a door chime.
Someone else was there the night Jesse was killed.
I talked to Jameson.
He says that door's open in his office
whenever he's working late.
In case anyone needs solace, day or night.
- So the chime is an alarm? - More of an alert.
Although he doesn't even hear it anymore.
Tom's phone GPS came back.
It supports his story.
We checked against cell towers
and shows that he didn't go any further
than the church and his home.
And the lake is no where along that route.
Can I see that?
So Tom has an alibi for Jesse's death.
Jameson doesn't drive.
And Mother doesn't own a white truck.
So Jesse truly ran off.
But he was still seen in a white truck later that night by Danny.
Then, I guess we're looking for a second white truck.
Shit.
All right. Well, let's expand the radius
of the truck search to Sudbury.
Maybe the killer lives further a field than we thought.
The chime that Tom thought was a clock was a door opening.
Someone was there.
Someone?
Well, okay... but we have no idea who.
So again, we're nowhere.
Could we put this photo out there.
See if anyone's seen it.
My office.
Shut the door.
What is this?
He looks just like that. My riddler.
His name's Adam and I'm pretty sure he's my brother.
What?
You didn't know anything?
About my dad having another kid.
No.
Maybe you did.
Maybe you didn't.
Maybe you fucked a teenager and tampered with evidence.
Maybe you're still with her.
He's not in the system.
