ALEXA ASHER BROOK CARSON DONNA GABRIELLE GENNA KAREN LEXA NIKKI OFFICER PARKER RADIO TRAVIS BROOK Carson, don't tell that story again. CARSON No, don't. Brook, you love it when I tell people how amazing you looked in that bikini. PARKER No, no, no, come on. We're not in a frat house, please break it up. CARSON Parks, you're so old. BROOK Ugh, come on, it's their anniversary. GABRIELLE No, I'm good. BROOK So. Twenty years. How'd you do it? GABRIELLE A lot of hard work and commitment. CARSON No, really though. PARKER Shut up, Carson. PARKER That was a great dinner, Brook. GABRIELLE Yeah, thank you. BROOK Yeah. No worries. Are you two looking forward to your romantic getaway? GABRIELLE We are, actually. BROOK Hmm. PARKER Yes, we-we are. GABRIELLE Are you sure you're okay having Lexa here? BROOK Oh yeah, of course! I need a shopping buddy. GABRIELLE You guys have an anniversary coming up, don't you? BROOK Ugh, that's nothing compared to yours. GABRIELLE Well, they say in a lot of ways the first few years are the hardest. After that then you've got the commitment to make it work. PARKER Downhill. GABRIELLE Yep. CARSON So you two are going to spend two whole days doing what, exactly? PARKER Well, I'm probably going to stay up nights worrying about my clients but other than that- CARSON Okay, technically, our clients. PARKER No, no. CARSON And it's the weekend. GABRIELLE Here we go. Shop talk. PARKER No, no, no- BROOK I agree. You two spend enough time together at the office. PARKER Uh-uh. BROOK Yes! PARKER No. BROOK This is family time. So, tell us all about your fabulous plans for the weekend. PARKER Gabby made all the plans. The only thing I know is kayaking is involved. CARSON You're gonna spend two days on the water? PARKER Yeah, pretty much. She's gonna show me some awesome standing waves, come on. BROOK Right. You were a kayaking champion. GABRIELLE That was a long time ago. PARKER No. CARSON Didn't you have a nasty accident or something? GABRIELLE I did. I still have the life jacket that saved me. PARKER On that note. Um, it's getting late and we have an early morning tomorrow. Would you sto-- No, no, no. BROOK It's late. GABRIELLE I'm good. PARKER Look who's here. GABRIELLE Hey! Lex, are you good? LEXA Sure, Mom. I was watching TV. Uncle Carson has a popcorn machine. GABRIELLE Oh, wow then you are set. Lexa loves popcorn. She thinks it's a food group. GABRIELLE So you're gonna be my good girl and you can call us anytime. We'll be back late Sunday afternoon, okay? LEXA Don't worry about me, I'm fine. Have fun though. GABRIELLE Okay, we will. Muah. BROOK Yeah, don't worry about us. You just have a great time. BROOK We will, right? LEXA Yep. BROOK So, you two be careful on the river. GABRIELLE We always are. PARKER How about one more hug? Just one more. Sorry, I'm squeezing. GABRIELLE Alright. Night. GABRIELLE Bye. CARSON Parents are gone for the weekend, let her live a little bit. BROOK No I'm good, we're done! Hey, it's late. Really. Come on, don't be silly. CARSON You used to be fun. BROOK You are horrible! PARKER Wow, look at that. GABRIELLE I uh, I had the Ranger help me. PARKER Does he do windows? This is really nice, Gabby. GABRIELLE Remember the first time that we ever came here? PARKER Yeah. I remember. GABRIELLE We were so happy. PARKER Yeah, you were scared. GABRIELLE True. PARKER Yeah, well, let's get this show on the road, shall we? Let me show you how a real kayaker does things. GABRIELLE Oh, yeah, right. GABRIELLE Parker. PARKER No, no, no we had an agreement. You said this weekend was fine. I told you that this weekend was off limits- GABRIELLE Come on! Let's go! PARKER Yeah. GABRIELLE Parker! PARKER No, there is no- GABRIELLE Thought you were gonna teach me how it's done? PARKER Sorry. GABRIELLE You ready? PARKER Yeah, yeah, let's do it. GABRIELLE Let's go. GABRIELLE Lexa would love this. She's old enough now, we can take her out. You know, maybe get her some lessons? Summer break- PARKER Yeah that'd be a good idea. GABRIELLE Yeah! Summer break's coming, we could go camping. I think she'd enjoy it. PARKER Yep. GABRIELLE You gonna take a photo? PARKER Smile! GABRIELLE You remembered the waterproof case, huh? GABRIELLE The water was great today. Not too crazy. PARKER Mm! Yeah. It was definitely a lot calmer than you described it before, though. GABRIELLE We should do this more often. PARKER Hmm. GABRIELLE And leave your phone behind. PARKER Unfortunately we can't. Clients! They watch the stock market, and must share their concerns right away. GABRIELLE Parker. Are we-Are we okay? PARKER It's just work. I've been busier than usual. GABRIELLE I know. I Just even when we're at home, you seem disconnected. PARKER We're fine, Gab- GABRIELLE No, we're not. PARKER Gabrielle, what do you want me to do? It's my job. GABRIELLE I have a job too but you don't see me on the phone. PARKER It's different. Your clients love you. GABRIELLE Well I love you. Hmm? PARKER Come on. GABRIELLE Maybe I can show you how much. PARKER Woo! Gabby! Woo! GABRIELLE It's a little tricky around this bend. PARKER Are you kidding? This is what I've been hoping for. You go, I'll be right behind you. GABRIELLE Alright but once we start, we're committed. PARKER Trust me, I can handle it. GABRIELLE Follow close! PARKER Hold on a second. Gabby! Smile. Good one. Perfect! GABRIELLE Come on! GABRIELLE Woo! GABRIELLE Ooh! GABRIELLE Parker! Parker! Parker! Oh, god. Oh my god. Oh no. Parker! Parker! Parker! OFFICER Detective, the wife's at the cabin. ASHER Mrs. Langston? I'm Detective Blackton. Call me Asher. GABRIELLE Why is this taking so long? Did you find Parker? ASHER No. No sign of him yet. Can I ask you a few questions? GABRIELLE I can't stand waiting here. If they let me back on the river I could go further downstream- ASHER Our search teams know every rock and turn of this river. How long has your husband been kayaking? GABRIELLE A few years. He used to do it just for me, but I think he likes it now. ASHER And was he a good swimmer? GABRIELLE Yeah, he was a good swimmer. He could be out there on those rocks; freezing. ASHER I know it's hard to sit and wait, but we're doing the best we can. GABRIELLE Just please find him. Please. OFFICER I got something over here. GABRIELLE Oh no. OFFICER We got something! GABRIELLE His life jacket. LEXA Mom? Where's dad? GABRIELLE There's been an accident. LEXA No! GABRIELLE I love you so much. It's gonna be okay. BROOK I'm sorry. GABRIELLE Hi Detective? It's Gabrielle. I was just calling to see if-- If there was any news? Okay. Thank you. ASHER Gabrielle. I'm sorry. We couldn't find him. It's been 2 weeks. Search and Rescue has already been out there longer than they normally would. We did everything we could. GABRIELLE So that's it? He could still be out there- ASHER Gabrielle, if he was, we would have heard from him. Somebody would have seen him. We've actually been on a recovery operation the last week. I thought you knew that. GABRIELLE No. I don't believe it. Parker's not dead. Where's his body? ASHER It's Search and Rescue's opinion that his- his body was pulled under a rock and we may never recover it. The team found this. Still works. I'm sorry. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. GABRIELLE Detective Blackton. ASHER I wanted to pay my respects. I'm very sorry for your loss. GABRIELLE Thank you. CARSON I know what you did. GABRIELLE I'm sorry? CARSON Parker didn't even want to go on that trip. GABRIELLE That's not true. CARSON You forced him into that dinky little boat. GABRIELLE No, I didn't. CARSON Yes, you did! NIKKI Carson! CARSON If it wasn't for you, he'd still be alive. GABRIELLE Excuse me. ASHER Hi. I'm detective Blackton. And you're the sister-in-law of the deceased? BROOK Right. Thank you. You didn't have to do that. ASHER Ah. What was that all about? BROOK Oh that? Nothing. He's just-- Carson had a little too much to drink. ASHER Hmm. BROOK Excuse me. KAREN Carson! For goodness sakes. CARSON I'm fine! I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine- BROOK Can you stop drinking so much? What is your problem? This is your brother's funeral. CARSON It's fine. It's a celebration of life. BROOK Can you be a little respectful today? Just a little bit- CARSON Just go back to your friends. Enough. BROOK Don't touch me! You're embarrassing me. LEXA Mom? Mom. GABRIELLE Mhm. LEXA Are you okay? GABRIELLE Mhm. LEXA Mom, it wasn't your fault. GABRIELLE What if it was? It was my idea to go. ALEXA Oh, hey. I didn't hear you get up. GABRIELLE I am going back to work today. LEXA Are you ready? GABRIELLE It's been two months since the funeral. If I spend one more day in my pajamas, I'm gonna kill myself. I'm sorry- that came out wrong. If I'm alone with my thoughts any longer- We'll get through this. Okay? I love you. ALEXA Will you drive me to school? GABRIELLE Okay, now you're just workin' it. Alright, maybe just this once. LEXA Yum! NIKKI It's so nice to have you back. GABRIELLE Thanks, Nikki. You did a great job. I can't thank you- Now, just bring me up to speed so I can do something other than cry LEXA Hey, what's up? BROOK Hey! I'm looking for your mom. LEXA She went back to work today. BROOK Oh, okay. How are you doing, Lex? I miss you. LEXA Okay. BROOK Yeah? LEXA Do you want to come in? BROOK No, that's okay. I've gotta get going but can you give your mom a message for me? LEXA Mhm! GABRIELLE Wow! I'm impressed. LEXA You know the lasagna was in the freezer, Mom. You cooked it. GABRIELLE I know, but still- I appreciate it. LEXA How was work? GABRIELLE Good! Busy. But good busy. I'd forgotten what it was like to talk to people. LEXA Who's Genna Koch? GABRIELLE Where did that come from? LEXA Auntie Brook came by. She said to call her. GABRIELLE Uh- Genna is our insurance broker and financial advisor. After the funeral the lawyers wanted to disburse the insurance- I wasn't able to get to it, but I will. I guess she called Carson. Or Brook. NIKKI If you're not ready, I can go. Let me help you. GABRIELLE Look, it's important for our clients see that we're-- That I'm okay. And besides, it's already arranged. Lexa's going to Parker's mom's and I could really use a bit of a break. GENNA I'm early. Sorry. GABRIELLE Oh, Genna, come on in. GENNA Hi. GABRIELLE Thank you for coming by. I'm still catching up. GENNA Ah, no problem. Of course you are. GABRIELLE So, I don't understand. We already had a generous life insurance policy. Why would Parker take out a new policy without telling me? GENNA Oh. You knew nothing about it? GABRIELLE No. I know that Carson and Parker's company wasn't doing as well as it once did but maybe he just wanted a back up plan. GENNA Well, the two policies were worth five million dollars. GABRIELLE Wait. I thought the old policy was mainly for the business. GENNA It was. Parker changed it, um- Three months before the accident. You are the sole beneficiary. GABRIELLE Does Carson know? GENNA Yes. He came in to talk about the policy. He was very surprised. Parker was a good man. He just wanted to take care of you and Lexa. GABRIELLE I still can't believe he's gone. That's why I couldn't deal with this. I'm sorry it took me so long. GENNA It's okay. Um, it’s just one signature right there right at the bottom. And it might take a week or so for the funds to transfer to your account. GABRIELLE I don't care about the money. I just- Thank you for your patience with me Genna. GENNA Okay, perfect. Okay. I guess that's it. Take care. GABRIELLE Nikki, I'm-I'm fine. GABRIELLE Everything is fine. I'm okay. I'll fill you in when I get back. I have to go. GABRIELLE Parker? Parker! Parker? GABRIELLE No, seriously, I'm fine. Everything went great. The client signed on for another two-year term. You know I think I'm just more tired than I realized. I might take tomorrow off. Okay. thanks Nikki. CARSON Didn't you have a nasty accident or something? GABRIELLE I did. I still have the life jacket that saved me. PARKER Hanging in the garage. GABRIELLE Detective. Do you have a minute? ASHER Yeah. Yeah, of course. Uh, this is my partner, Donna. ASHER Gabrielle. DONNA Hi. ASHER How are you? GABRIELLE I'm coping. ASHER Uh, there's- There's no news- GABRIELLE I figured you would have called if there was. But I was wondering about Parker's life jacket. ASHER What about it? GABRIELLE I'd like to look at it. ASHER Really? GABRIELLE The damage on his jacket was severe. ASHER Yes. GABRIELLE Exactly. I've been in accidents before, been dragged under water and I've only ever once ripped a life jacket. And the water was low. When the water's high you're less likely to hit the rocks. ASHER What're you getting at? GABRIELLE Can I see it? ASHER I'm not sure where this is going. GABRIELLE Did you have an expert look at it? ASHER Not to my knowledge. But it's pretty obvious what happened here. A novice kayaker went into waters he wasn't used to. GABRIELLE No- He was better than you think. ASHER I understand that you've been through a difficult time. GABRIELLE No, you don't. ASHER I'm very sorry for your loss. We're confident there wasn't anything suspicious about your husband's death. Maybe you'd like to speak to one of our grief counselors. Let me get a card. DONNA What are you looking for? ASHER I'm not sure yet. NIKKI I thought you were taking the day off? GABRIELLE I was restless. I figured I'd be better off here. NIKKI Sure. You want to get a coffee? GABRIELLE Thanks, I'm-- I'm okay. NIKKI You're not okay. What is it? GABRIELLE When I was in San Francisco I was walking through the Wharf. NIKKI Mhm. GABRIELLE Nikki, I thought I saw Parker. NIKKI That's impossible you know that, right? GABRIELLE I know it's not possible. But I saw a man, and when I called his name, he turned his head and he disappeared into the crowd. NIKKI What reason would he have to do that? GABRIELLE I don't know. I just know what I saw. NIKKI Mm mm. Or think you saw. Think about it, why would he do that? GABRIELLE Maybe he didn't want to be with us anymore. NIKKI Oh honey. Parker loved you guys. You know that. He would never do anything like that. Your life was perfect with Parker. There were no signs of any trouble, were there? GABRIELLE I'm not sure. I have to go. CARSON That's it, just walk away. CARSON Just keep walking. You're watching ten good years get smaller in your rear view mirror. Get outta here! Don't trip. CARSON Gabrielle. What can I do for you? GABRIELLE Is everything okay? CARSON What do you want? GABRIELLE How's the company doing? CARSON That's why you came down here, to ask how the company's doing? You could have just called me. GABRIELLE Well, I'm here. So, how's it doing? CARSON Not well. I don't know what Parker told you, but we're not as solvent as we once were. GABRIELLE Parker was different the last couple of months. He'd be on the phone a lot after work after work and I- He would go into the study and I'd hear him yell sometimes. Do you have any idea who that might have been? CARSON No, I really don't. Gabrielle , I'm really busy- GABRIELLE You know that if you needed help any time I would- CARSON I don't need any marketing advice. Thanks. GABRIELLE That's not what I meant- CARSON Parker may have left you his shares and let's not forget the insurance money. But he left me the company to run. I'm still the CEO, and I don't think the board of directors are gonna vote me out any time soon. So if you'd really like to help, you can help by staying away. GABRIELLE Very well. I'd like to go through Parker's office and take his personal things. CARSON Ah, you can't. I'll have them sent to you this afternoon. Next time, before you come just call. Or better yet, don't come. GABRIELLE Parker. Who were you talking to? GABRIELLE I'd like to speak with someone about incoming calls to my husband's phone from June. I have the statements, but there's nothing on them. Yes I have power of attorney. 23rd. Nothing. Thank you. LEXA Mom! GABRIELLE Are you okay? LEXA I didn't realize you were home. GABRIELLE I couldn't focus at work today. How was school? LEXA Um I miss Dad. GABRIELLE Come here. Your Dad loved you very much. Don't ever forget that. KAREN I hope some day we can bring Parker home. LEXA I hope some day we can bring Parker home. LEXA Me too. GABRIELLE We'll find him. KAREN He was such a good boy. Not like Carson who was a bit of a bully. Parker was the sweet one. He always looked after me. When he was ten, he started mowing lawns just so he could buy me presents. Every birthday, every Christmas he'd give me a bottle of perfume. LEXA That's so sweet. GABRIELLE Lex, could you run up to my room and grab the other albums? KAREN You're going to rub the flowers off that teacup. GABRIELLE Do you-Do you think Parker was happy? With his life. With-with me? KAREN How can you ask such a thing? He was happy. Of course he was happy. You had the perfect life. GABRIELLE I don't know, Karen. KAREN What do you mean? GABRIELLE Did he ever say anything to you? Was anything bothering him? KAREN No. I know he spent a lot of hours in the office and was stressed with work. I know he was looking forward to your anniversary weekend. He was. GABRIELLE Thanks, Duane. GABRIELLE Duane? Hello? Hello? Hello? GABRIELLE Hello? Hello? Is anyone there? GABRIELLE Who are you? What do you want? The building's closed. TRAVIS The money, honey. GABRIELLE What money? I haven't got any. TRAVIS My weekly payment. Where is it? GABRIELLE I- I don't know what you're talking about. TRAVIS Parker owes me a lot of money. I'm guessing he didn't tell you. You know, your daughter, Lexa, she's awfully pretty. It would be terrible if something were to happen to her. GABRIELLE You leave Lexa alone. TRAVIS Hey, that's up to you. I need 300 thousand by tomorrow. Consider it a final payment. GABRIELLE I'll-- I'll get you your money. All of it. I just-- I need a few days. TRAVIS I need the money now. GABRIELLE I don't have it now. I can get it to you by the end of the week. TRAVIS Yeah? What happens in a week? GABRIELLE The broker says I'll have Parker's insurance then. Just please don't hurt my daughter. TRAVIS It's my account number. You have one week to get me the money. Or you and your pretty little daughter die. You go to the cops, you and your daughter die. GABRIELLE No, no! TRAVIS It's done. She's already signed the insurance papers. We'll know when she has the money. GABRIELLE Thank you. GABRIELLE Where's my daughter? I need to get to her. ASHER Take it easy. You've had a big fall. We've already called her. She's with your mother-in-law. What happened? GABRIELLE Nothing. I must have fallen. ASHER Well the janitor said he saw someone running out of the building in a hurry before he found you. Do you remember anything? GABRIELLE No. I'm sorry. It must have been a mugging. ASHER Hm. I see your purse is still here. Doesn't seem like anything's missing; that's odd. GABRIELLE Look, I'm sorry. I just-- I don't remember anything. I need to get home to my daughter. ASHER No, you can't drive. I'll have someone take you home. DONNA What's up? ASHER Something is really starting to bug me about this kayaking thing. DONNA Like what? ASHER I don't know. First the wife wants to look closer at something that clearly is an accident. And now, she's lying about this thing that happened earlier tonight. DONNA Any way it could be self-inflicted? ASHER Yeah but why would she do that if she's pretending nothing happened? DONNA Maybe she really doesn't remember. ASHER No. I think she remembers. BROOK How are you feeling? GABRIELLE I'm okay. Just a little shaken up mostly. BROOK Yeah. LEXA The cops will get the guy, won't they, Mom? GABRIELLE I hope so honey. LEXA So if he didn't take your purse, what did he want? GABRIELLE I have no idea. Don’t you have homework? LEXA No. GABRIELLE Nice try. BROOK You should really lie down. GABRIELLE I'm feeling a little bit better. Brook, did Carson tell you that I went by the office? BROOK He mentioned it. He said you wanted to pick up Parker's things. GABRIELLE I was looking for something. He seemed overly stressed. BROOK He's been like that for a while. His drinking has become a problem. GABRIELLE Brooklyn, um- I know that Parker changed his insurance policy. I think that might be why Carson's mad at me. BROOK Really? He doesn't tell me anything. GABRIELLE Yeah, I saw Genna. She told me. Maybe I should talk to Carson. BROOK No, you're best to leave Carson alone. He's got a temper. GABRIELLE Do you want to talk about it? BROOK No, that's okay. GABRIELLE Are you sure? BROOK Yeah. So anyways, what were you looking for? BROOK In what? BROOK Parker's stuff. You said you were looking for Parker's stuff. GABRIELLE Oh it was nothing. Nothing at all. GABRIELLE t. t. t. t. Travis. 20 thousand dollars? CARSON Travis? I don't know any- CARSON Travis. What's this all about? GABRIELLE I don't know. I found it in one of Parker's calendars; he had a standing appointment with Travis up until a month before he died. CARSON Brook? Where are those drinks? BROOK I hope Lexa will come and stay with us again. I miss her. She's such a good kid. GABRIELLE She's spending a lot of time at Grandma's. BROOK Ugh, poor Karen. This has hit her hard. Well, all of us of course. BROOK You tell Lexa to come over next weekend. There is a wicked sale at the mall. CARSON Maybe we're getting a little carried away with the shopping. BROOK C'mon, Baby. Don't be such a killjoy. GABRIELLE I should go pick up Lexa. CARSON That's a good idea. GABRIELLE Do you have a problem with me, Carson? You've been unkind to me since Parker's death. What you said at the funeral-- BROOK Now let's just all try and get along. GABRIELLE No, I want to know what his problem is with me. CARSON You're my problem. Now if you'll excuse me. There's a bottle of 2007 Margaux with my name on it. I'll be in the cellar. GABRIELLE I hope you choke on it. BROOK Please don't set him off. GABRIELLE Is he hurting you? BROOK He's just had a lot to drink and I really don't want to get into it so-- You know, just don't confront him. I can handle it. I just-- I think it'd be best if you left. GABRIELLE Okay. Are you sure? BROOK Yeah. GABRIELLE Please just call me if you feel unsafe. BROOK Okay. GABRIELLE 'Kay. GENNA So, uh the funds were transferred- GENNA --this morning. Just two final signatures. There's the transfer amount and today's date. Perfect. GABRIELLE Thank god! I just-- I need to pay something. GENNA Well, I better go. GABRIELLE Yeah, thank you for everything. GENNA You're welcome. GABRIELLE Genna! GENNA What's the matter? GABRIELLE Genna, the money's gone. GENNA What do you mean? GABRIELLE The insurance money. All of it. GENNA We need to call the police, you've been hacked. GABRIELLE No! No, no, no, just--We need to handle this discretely. GENNA Gabrielle, are you in trouble? GABRIELLE I don't know, just please don't call the police yet. GENNA Okay. GABRIELLE Promise me! GENNA Okay. GABRIELLE And one more thing. I need a line of credit. GENNA Was your business account cleaned out too? GABRIELLE No. I just-- I need more than what's in there. GENNA How much more? GABRIELLE 200 thousand. And I need it today. I need to pay someone. GENNA Okay. GABRIELLE Thank you. NIKKI So all your money is in the Cayman Islands? GABRIELLE That's what Genna said. NIKKI I don't understand. You were hacked, but they used your passwords. GABRIELLE It had to have been Parker. NIKKI Parker? What are you talking about? GABRIELLE It wasn't a hacker. It was Parker. GABRIELLE He was the only one who knew my passwords; the answers to security questions. NIKKI But how is that possible? GABRIELLE They never found his body. NIKKI So you're saying that he staged his death and then took your insurance money? Not the Parker I knew. GABRIELLE Well maybe we didn't know Parker at all. I went through his calendars. After our anniversary date, it's blank. There's not a single entry, it's like he knew that he wasn't gonna be here. NIKKI So what’ll you do? How will you get your money back? GABRIELLE I don't care about the money. I just-- can't believe that he would do something like this. NIKKI Maybe there is another explanation. GABRIELLE Mm. Like what? I went through his phone bills too. NIKKI What? GABRIELLE I went through Parker's phone bills. NIKKI What'd you find? GABRIELLE Well it's what I didn't find. Calls I knew Parker received, right in front of me while we were kayaking. NIKKI What about 'em? GABRIELLE They're not on the bill. NIKKI So GABRIELLE So he had to have had two phones. NIKKI Have you told the police? GABRIELLE No. What are they going to do? Investigate calls Parker never made? A blank calendar? They already think I'm crazy. NIKKI Now what? GABRIELLE He didn't do this alone. CARSON It's the middle of the night, what do you want? GABRIELLE I'm coming in. CARSON Whoa, whoa, wait a second! GABRIELLE Where is he? Where's Parker? CARSON Gabrielle, what the hell is this all about? GABRIELLE Parker is alive, I saw him. You know where he is, don't you. You guys are in this together. CARSON In what? You're crazy, barging in here in the middle of the night. GABRIELLE Parker couldn't have pull this off on his own. He needed an accomplice. And it was you! CARSON I'm calling the police. GABRIELLE Go ahead. And while you're at it, explain to them what you did with the money you stole from my account. BROOK Put the- Put the phone down Carson. CARSON Then tell her to see a shrink. BROOK You have been under a lot of stress, Gabrielle. GABRIELLE No. Someone tried to kill me. They asked me about Parker's money. CARSON What money? You said that was a mugger. BROOK Shh, just let her talk. GABRIELLE Why would you and Parker do this to me? CARSON Parker's dead. And for all I know, you killed him for the insurance money. GABRIELLE The insurance money you stole! BROOK What? CARSON What? GABRIELLE Oh Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. The money's gone. All of it. CARSON I had nothing to do with that. GABRIELLE Genna told me that you came to her looking for an insurance payout. GABRIELLE Did you kill Parker for his insurance? CARSON You need help! You're crazy. CARSON You get her professional help or I'm calling the police. GABRIELLE Have another drink. BROOK Why don’t-- Why don't you go back to bed. Hmm? And I'll handle this. BROOK Where is it that you think you saw Parker? GABRIELLE San Francisco. BROOK Did you speak with him? GABRIELLE No, it was-- It was in a crowd. I lost him. But it was him. BROOK So there is a possibility that you saw someone that looks like him and your brain wanted it to be Parker. GABRIELLE Brook, I'm not crazy. I know what I saw. Okay? I think that Carson is somehow involved and he got access to my account numbers and stole the insurance money. BROOK Okay. We'll look into it in the morning. GABRIELLE There's one other thing. Parker had another phone.. I think they've been planning this for a long time. BROOK Sweetie, I'm sorry. RADIO --Bay area weather. September is here with cooler temperatures and some fog in the morning. We'll have a high of 65 and a low of-- PARKER I've been waiting for your call. Yeah. Alright. RADIO --ferry terminal. And at the studios it's a balmy 65 degrees. 101 across the-- BROOK I didn't know where else to go. GABRIELLE Come in. Come in. Sit. GABRIELLE Oh my-- Did he do that to you? BROOK Uh, after you left Carson got into a fight with me and he was just so angry, I-- I couldn't take it anymore. I-- He's become so violent. I didn't know what to do. GABRIELLE You did the right thing. BROOK I didn't even like pack a bag or anything. GABRIELLE You're safe now, okay? BROOK Thank you for being my friend, Gabby. I know that we haven't always been close, but I didn't know where else to go. GABRIELLE It's okay, I'm here for you. I think we should call the police-- BROOK What? No. No, I just want out. Quietly. No police. GABRIELLE Okay, we'll find you a lawyer then. BROOK I feel so stupid like I-- I didn't even have time to pack a toothbrush or anything! GABRIELLE Well Lexa's still at Karen's. I have a client, but I could swing by your house later, pick up some things for you if you like? BROOK With Lexa? I don't want her to know. GABRIELLE She won't be with me. And I won't tell her. BROOK I just-- I don't think it's safe. GABRIELLE I'm not afraid of Carson. BROOK Okay, I'll write you a list. It’s Carson's poker night tonight so if you go after 7, it should be safe. GABRIELLE Okay. BROOK Thank you. GABRIELLE It's gonna be okay. GABRIELLE Somebody home? Hello? Carson? GABRIELLE Carson? Carson! Carson! Carso-- Carson. Carson. Come on, wake up. Oh my god. Carson? Carson!? Carson! Hang on, Carson. Hang on. GABRIELLE Help! Help! I-I need an ambulance. A man has been stabbed. Please, help me! GABRIELLE I’m fine. ASHER When you guys leave make sure to call the office. ASHER Gabrielle, you all right? I can call another ambulance. GABRIELLE No, just please call Brooklyn, she's at my house. And I'd like to wash my hands. ASHER Yes, yes I asked to process the evidence and it’ll only take a minute then we’ll get you a ride home. DONNA Detective? ASHER We done here? ASHER Gabrielle. Carson was pronounced dead on the way to the hospital. Gabrielle, can you step away from the car. GABRIELLE What's going on? What are you doing? ASHER You're under arrest for murder. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in a court of law - GABRIELLE No, I didn't kill him. Ask Brooklyn. She asked me to pick up some things for her at the house. When I got here he was already hurt, okay. You gotta believe me, I didn’t hurt anyone. Please! Just call Brook. Did you call her? ASHER Yeah, we did. She said last night you showed up on her doorstep at 3 o’clock in the morning, and you physically assaulted Carson as you walked inside the house. GABRIELLE No, I-- ASHER And once inside, you proceeded to have an altercation with him. Watch your head. GABRIELLE That is not what happened! That’s a lie! ASHER Gabrielle. Did you go over to the house last night? GABRIELLE Yes. ASHER And did he threaten to call the police? GABRIELLE Yes, but that’s not what- DONNA What do you think? ASHER Crime of passion? DONNA It's more calculated than that. We should look into her husband's accident. GABRIELLE I want my lawyer. ASHER Lawyer's on his way. This could go a lot more smoothly for you if you just cooperate with us. GABRIELLE I know how this works. You badger me until I tell you exactly what you wanna hear and-- I’m not that stupid! ASHER I never said you were. You know, I could believe that this was an accident, or at least self-defense. Carson hurt his wife, like you said, then he comes after you with a knife. You struggle then you somehow get the knife back from someone twice your size and accidentally stab him. GABRIELLE I will only speak with my lawyer. ASHER Yeah, of course. You don't have to say anything. I'll just talk. You see, Carson's death comes on the heels of Parker's mysterious death- GABRIELLE Mysterious? ASHER Like you said the life jacket could not have torn like that in high water. GABRIELLE Last week I couldn't even convince you to look at it. What’s that? ASHER The team searched the river again. It was stuck under a rock. GABRIELLE It's not mine. ASHER What's in the Cayman's? GABRIELLE What? ASHER Two airline tickets purchased this morning. One for you and one for Lexa. One way tickets to the Cayman Islands. GABRIELLE I didn't buy it. ASHER They used your credit card. You killed Parker for the money. Brooklyn and Carson got suspicious. Carson threatened to call the police. So you killed Carson, is Brooklyn next? GABRIELLE You’ve gotta be kidding me!? ASHER Do I look like I'm kidding? I heard what he said at the funeral. He was onto you. And I talked to Genna Koch. Who said that he didn't want the theft of your insurance money investigated. Gabrielle, with these two deaths it’s gonna be better for you in the long run if you confess. GABRIELLE I didn’t kill Carson and I didn’t kill Parker. Why would I come to you about the damage to the life jacket? Someone is trying to set me up. W-Where was Brook when Carson was killed? ASHER I will answer that if you tell me what happened to Parker. GABRIELLE I didn't kill my husband! ASHER I think we’re done here! GABRIELLE He's not dead. ASHER What? GABRIELLE I saw him. I think he faked his death for the insurance money. ASHER Where did you see him? GABRIELLE San Francisco. ASHER When? GABRIELLE Your turn. ASHER Brooklyn ordered take-out from your house. The delivery boy confirmed that she was there about the same time as the murder. Can you think of anyone else to point to? GABRIELLE I don’t know. ASHER What? What are you about to say? GABRIELLE Nothing. ASHER Gabrielle, I don't know who you're trying to protect but at this point, you are our prime suspect. You are our only suspect. You can be charged with murder one and if find that you’re connected to your husband's death, two counts. You’ll post bond in the morning, don’t leave town. And if you're guilty, Gabrielle, I'll prove it. GABRIELLE And if I'm innocent? DONNA I almost want to believe her. Almost. She’s good. ASHER Or she's telling the truth. ASHER Hey Gibbsey, you still working in the fabric lab? I'm gonna send you a life jacket, put a rush on it, will you? GABRIELLE Karen, I am so sorry for your loss. KAREN I don't ever want to see you again. GABRIELLE What? Wh-h-- This is all a big mistake. I didn't hurt anyone. KAREN Then why did the police arrest you? GABRIELLE Where’s Lexa? LEXA Mom!? GABRIELLE Lexa, honey, you need to come home. KAREN I’ve called child protective services. She's not going anywhere. GABRIELLE Brooklyn? ASHER Look, I don't think you should be here. BROOK Why are you here? GABRIELLE Brooklyn, can we talk? Look, w-when I got here, I-I don’t know what happened. Carson was already unconscious and bleeding. BROOK How could you? Maybe Carson was right, he never really trusted you. Why did you have such a big insurance policy for Parker? GABRIELLE You know that I-I knew nothing about the extra insurance. All that money is gone, I thought that Carson took it. BROOK Yeah. You told me. You made me believe your lies. I thought I could trust you. I thought you wanted to help me, not kill my husband. GABRIELLE I would never kill- BROOK And with Carson gone now, you own the company. You've done quite well for yourself, Gabrielle. Don't come near me again, or I'll get a restraining order. GABRIELLE This is-This is like a bad dream. It’s like a nightmare. I keep expecting to wake up. And what is happening? ASHER Brooklyn says she's afraid of you. Does she have any reason to be afraid of you, Gabrielle? GABRIELLE This stinks of a set up. What does your cop nose say? ASHER That you're not telling me everything. GABRIELLE The man in the stairwell that night. He wasn't there to mug me. He said Parker had his money and he wanted it back. I didn't tell you the truth because he threatened to kill me and Lexa. I didn’t know what it all meant. It’s why I told Genna not to call the police. ASHER Could identify him? GABRIELLE Maybe. I think his name was Travis. I found evidence in Parker's files that he was making payments to him every week. Over two years, it totaled two million dollars. I think Travis is behind all of this. ASHER But if Parker's paying Travis, then why would Travis kill Carson. GABRIELLE Because about a month before, before Parker disappeared the payments stopped and I need to look at Parker's work computers. ASHER Why? GABRIELLE I don't know just to follow the money and prove that I'm innocent. ASHER No, I can’t let you near those computers until you're cleared. You gotta stay away from Brooklyn, her house and Langston Financial. GABRIELLE Do you believe anything I just told you? ASHER I don't know. GABRIELLE Real estate holdings. DONNA I called building security. ASHER Portland P.D. Thanks. GABRIELLE San Francisco? ASHER Thanks. ASHER Real estate holdings. DONNA San Francisco? ASHER Gabrielle's trying to find Parker. DONNA Dead Parker, you think he’s still alive? ASHER It’s Gibbsey? ASHER What do you got for me? Okay, leave it there, we're on our way. ASHER What does Gibbsey say? DONNA He agrees that the damage DONNA was deliberately caused. The top of the tear seems precise, probably caused by a sharp knife, consistent with a box cutter, but the rest of the tear is ripped. He also notes that the person was right handed and had to have worn the jacket at the time. He figures it was a male as ripping the fabric takes considerable strength. ASHER So, Parker did fake his death. DONNA And wanted to make it look like an accident. Plus, if she wanted to kill her husband for his insurance money, she would have claimed it as fast as she could. She didn't, she waited 2 months. ASHER That’s the only thing he didn't count on. DONNA But then why is Parker is San Francisco, wouldn't he wanna be far away? ASHER Unless he’s waiting for something. Or someone. Do me a favour, run a background check. Real estate holdings in San Francisco. DONNA Where are you going? ASHER To confirm something. ASHER Brooklyn? ASHER Brooklyn? ASHER Asher. Yeah, she's gone. I gotta find Gabrielle before she finds Parker. Can you put a trace on both Brooklyn and Gabrielle’s phones, and uhh, send me those four addresses from San Francisco. Thank you, I’m on my way. GABRIELLE Lexa, honey, I know this is hard to understand. This is all a big mistake, okay, I love you. ASHER Call our San Francisco liaison. Tell them I’m on my way. GABRIELLE Karen, please call me, we need to talk. GABRIELLE Parker!? What have you done? Answer me. You at least owe me that much. PARKER You shouldn't be here. GABRIELLE You shouldn't be here? You faked your own death. What did you think that would do to me? To Lexa? I mean, your daughter is heartbroken. PARKER You don't understand. GABRIELLE No, I don’t understand! Of course I don't understand. PARKER You need to leave. Come on just GABRIELLE I am not going anywhere until you tell me what is going on. This is about the money, isn't it? PARKER What did you do!? PARKER Gabby! Gabby! BROOK You're welcome. I’ll get some tape. ASHER Hey, has Gabrielle's turned her phone on yet? DONNA Not yet. ASHER Brooklyn? DONNA Hers went dark last night. ASHER All right, let me know if you know anything. BROOK You still don't trust me? PARKER Of course I trust you, I love you. BROOK No you don't. You won't even give me the account password. PARKER Look, I just need to be sure, okay? Don't you trust me? She wasn't supposed to find me. BROOK It's not a big deal, we just have to get rid of one more person. PARKER No, we're not killing her. There wasn't supposed to be any killing. BROOK Carson was getting suspicious. After her little scene, it was only a matter of time before he figured it all out. PARKER You could’ve just left. We would be in the Cayman's by now. BROOK It's too late for that. If Gabrielle claimed the insurance when she was supposed to-- PARKER Look, I don't care about the money, I care about you. Carson was my brother, he didn't deserve to die, Brook. Jesus, what are we doing? BROOK Don't get all principled with me. PARKER Look, you're all I've been thinking about. I have our passports. Let's just you and I take the money and go. We'll start over, get new jobs. BROOK A job, no. I don’t want to start over. I want what I’ve been working so hard for. Come on, baby. I need a certain lifestyle. You want me to be happy, don’t you? Keep your eye on the prize, I’m worth it. PARKER I can’t kill her. BROOK That’s obvious. PARKER No, Lexa needs her mother! BROOK She’s seen us Parker and besides if you really cared for Lexa you wouldn’t even be here. PARKER I mean it Brook. BROOK Sleeping Beauty awakes. PARKER Get her some water. GABRIELLE Tell me. How long has that been going on? GABRIELLE Please tell you did this for a better reason than to be with a younger woman. You didn’t fake your death and left Lexa for Brook. PARKER You don't know how hard it was to leave Lexa. GABRIELLE Oh, don't even try. I don't even know you. PARKER 20 years is a long time to be with one person. GABRIELLE So you did this because you were bored? PARKER Everyone deserves to be happy. We all get one life, with Brook I feel young. GABRIELLE You're actually trying to justify what you did? What about Carson, how are you gonna rationalize that one? My god, Parker. Do you even hear yourself? Why not just leave me? I mean, why the charade? PARKER Because I was broke and in debt and because the only way I could start over was with the money. GABRIELLE You mean the only way she would go with you was with money. I guess I should just be happy that you didn't kill me, too. BROOK I suggested it, Gabs. GABRIELLE I see your bruise is gone. TRAVIS Oh, did I just interrupt a family reunion? TRAVIS Parker? It’s good to see you again, you’re looking well for a dead man. PARKER What do you want? TRAVIS What, no small talk? No chit-chat? Parker, I'm hurt. I believe you have a bank account with 5 million dollars in it. PARKER Tell your boss I can make the payments again. Tell me where to wire the money. TRAVIS Oh no, this has nothing to do with my boss. See, I've started my own enterprise. But hey, enough about me, I’m gonna need that number from you, Parker. BROOK Just give him the number Parker, before he kills us! TRAVIS No? PARKER No just- TRAVIS Not her, okay well, how about your wife then? The mother of your child. PARKER Wait. Please, please, please. GABRIELLE You were in bed with the mob? PARKER I needed the money, Gabby and banks don't loan like they used to. GABRIELLE So you borrowed from the mob? PARKER This is why I had to leave, they were gonna kill me. I needed them to think that I was dead. PARKER All right, just stop. It’s okay, it’s all right, just--You got it, okay, you have it, just TRAVIS We got it. PARKER Brook. TRAVIS Check the balance. PARKER You killed my brother. GABRIELLE And you attacked me. BROOK We had to make sure you got the insurance money. TRAVIS Sorry about the stairs. GABRIELLE Why not kill me? BROOK We got it! TRAVIS You have me to thank for that. I thought you might be a good investment just in case. Brook, here couldn’t get the account number. BROOK Well, not to worry, we will fix that. PARKER After all I gave up for you. BROOK Gave up for me? Please. You wanted me from the moment you saw me. You told me all about how you wanted to start a new life with me. PARKER What about him? BROOK Let's just say I've known Travis longer than I've known Carson. PARKER All right look, just let Gabrielle go, please. TRAVIS You’re not making the rules here, Parker. PARKER I know, Travis, I’m gonna do whatever you ask me to do, just please. TRAVIS And I really don’t need your help. BROOK Look out! BROOK Oh baby, thank you, he was threatening to kill me. I didn’t know what to do! PARKER Shut up! Shut up! GABRIELLE Put the gun down, Parker. BROOK Nothing has changed. GABRIELLE Put the gun down. Call the poli-- PARKER I can’t call the police! BROOK Everything’s the same, we can still go! ASHER This is Detective Blackton of Portland PD, I’m gonna need assistance. PARKER Just shut up, just shut up! GABRIELLE Call the police! PARKER What do you think they’re gonna do to me? GABRIELLE They’re gonna- PARKER I can’t just- GABRIELLE Call the police. PARKER Please, stop talking to me, you’re yelling at me! BROOK I have waited so long to do this. GABRIELLE I trusted you with my daughter. ASHER It's over. Drop your gun, Gabrielle. Don't do it. Please. GABRIELLE You're right. She's not worth it. ASHER It's all over now. Paramedics are on their way. GABRIELLE Lexa? ASHER She's fine, she’s with her Grandmother. LEXA Mom! GABRIELLE I’m okay now. KAREN Let’s all go inside, come on, come on. GABRIELLE You ready? LEXA Yeah! GABRIELLE It was my first river too. LEXA I know, I'm excited. ASHER Hey! GABRIELLE Hey! ASHER I heard you were back at work. GABRIELLE It keeps my mind focused. ASHER How are you doing, Lexa? LEXA Okay. ASHER Well, I see you venture back on the water. GABRIELLE It’s her first time. ASHER Oh. LEXA We're going to The Point where Mom started. GABRIELLE Uhh Lexa, can you grab the life jackets out of the garage? ASHER How is she, really? GABRIELLE I don't know what's worse. Having your father actually die or finding out he faked his death. ASHER Those files that you gave us helped us bring down the mobsters that Parker was connected to. GABRIELLE What's gonna happen to him? ASHER Well, he’s gonna do some time. GABRIELLE What about Brooklyn? ASHER She's in much bigger trouble, she's gonna be locked away for awhile. GABRIELLE Thank you for believing in me, not giving up on me. ASHER Innocent until proven guilty. ASHER The Point? Is that where the beginners go? GABRIELLE It's a good spot. Why, you thinking of learning? ASHER You know someone who could teach me? GABRIELLE I might. GABRIELLE You’re doing great! LEXA This is fun! Maybe The Grand Canyon next? GABRIELLE Maybe next year.
