Dear Diary I Died (2016)
No, it can't be.
I just saw her yesterday. She had a new boyfriend, and her parents just bought a house that she loved. I don't understand how this can be. Please... Tell me it's not true. Tell me you're wrong. She was so young and vibrant. Say it's not true. Please! That was very, very good. Thank you, Becca. We'll be in touch with your manager. Thank you very much. Have a great day. I'm home! Mom? Dad? I had a great audition in case anyone was wondering. Hey, sleepyhead, wake up. Becca. Becca. -You're here! -Yeah, it's nice to see you too. My break started early, so I figured I'd surprise you and the parentals. Well, it worked. When I didn't hear back from you, I didn't-- I know, I'm sorry. That's college. Is that all it is? Dee, I've been trying to get in touch with you -for a while. -Okay, don't be melodramatic. I know. I've been busy. You're skipping college, so you don't know. I'm here now. So can I get some love, little sis'? Lady di and becks together again. -I missed you. -Me too. It's so great to have you home, sweetie. Thanks, I know. I'm so excited to be back. I feel like I haven't seen in you forever. I really missed you guys. --Sorry. Three favorite girls in the whole wide world. -Oh. -It's great that you got that job, sweetie. Uh, yeah, I mean, it's an internship. -A paid internship. -Yeah, at dad's firm. Hey, you're indispensable to Seth. Yeah, he's, um, a great mentor. Well, anyway, what I want to hear about is becks. How was your senior play? My blanche stole the show. - Hmm. - -'Atta girl. I wish you were there. I know, I know. I really wanted to be. No, it's okay. I figured you wouldn't be, but... In a perfect world, I would've liked to have you there. Oh, by the way, Dave got me an audition -for an indie feature. -Oh? - Wow, that's fantastic. -Dave? Her manager. Yeah, it'll shoot in six weeks... A real budget and everything. It's not one of those cattle calls. It's... this one's major. That's fantastic. You're little sister has some great natural talent. - Aww. - Thanks, guys. --I'm gonna get a head start, so... - You all have a great day, okay? -I love you. -Love you. - Okay, dad. - -Love you all. Okay... I am full, actually. Thank you, mom. This has been so great. Oh! Okay, um... It's great to have you back for a bit. Dee? - Dee! You scared me. You look flustered. Are you okay? Um, no, everything's fine. Really. Obviously something's up with you. I wish you'd just tell me about it. Dee, I'm your sister. I have to go. Whatever it is, just blow it off, and I'll blow my thing off. We can get fro-yo like old times. You can talk about whatever it is if you want, and if not... Hey, fro-yo. You still think everything can be fixed with fro-yo... And you're so right. I'm driving. - And I'm the queen of england. Nice catch, your majesty. Becks, I... I've got to postpone. -Seriously? -I'm sorry. I-- I wish I could. It's okay. I get it. No. You know what? I don't get it. I thought you chose Cartwright over Stanford because it's a half-hour from home. So why are you never here? Why are you ignoring all of my texts and my calls? And why are you keeping all these secrets from me? Dee... I feel like I've lost the most important person in my life, and... I don't understand why. You're right, okay? About what? I did-- I did put distance between us, but it's for a good reason. Then tell me the reason. You can't just say that and not tell me. Okay, okay. I'll tell you, but you have to promise not to tell anyone, especially mom and dad. Duh. What's wrong? Who is that? No one. It's just... My boyfriend. - I have to go. -Boyfriend? You have a boyfriend? For how long? -Dee, how long? -It's like been a year, but... Don't bother. Becca, wait a minute. Wait. Here, this is Christian. He's cute... In a "fit to meet the parents" sort of way. You could have told me. It's complicated. So explain it to me. I... have to go take care of something, but we'll talk later. -Yeah? -I got to go to work, so... Whatever. Thank you for calling woods and Monroe. How can I assist you? Sure, I'll connect you. Becca, call me back as soon as you get this. Oh, I screwed up... bad. I don't see a way out. Dee? I'm back! Mom? Dad? Dee? I'm coming in. Help! Help! - Where is she? - Oh-- --I'm sorry, - but you can't touch her. - -Let me go! My girl! Oh my god! My baby! Mr. Wilson, I'm sorry for your loss. We're through here for tonight. Was it suicide? We're opening an investigation. That's a question that many parents ask. What are the next steps, detective? An autopsy. It's standard procedure for any apparent suicide. Why? Why would she do that? Everybody loved her? Wait, the message. Becca, call me back as soon as you get this. I screwed up... Bad and... I don't see a way out. See? She was scared of something... Or someone. I need to make a copy of that message please. Maybe you should talk to her boyfriend. She had a boyfriend? She told me about him today. Said they've been dating for about a year. I think they were having problems. His name is Christian. -Christian. -She got a text from him today and her whole attitude changed. She got all distant. And then I found her. Okay. Thank you. Let's go. You awake? You have to get up. --We have to go pretty soon. I know we haven't been close lately. And part of that's on me... But none of that matters right now. And we need to be there for each other. So if there's anything that you need... Whatever you're feeling... Just know that I'm here for you, okay? It's okay. Dad? Have you seen Dee's locket? It's probably at the dorm with the rest of her things. We'd better get going. Is that Dee's sweater? I want to be close with her today? Is that okay? Here, this is Christian. Oh my god. "Dear diary"? I can't take this anymore, the blackmail, the lies, and now the guilt. I'll never be free of what I've done. The judge won't stop until I'm dead. How did I let this happen? I'm so stupid! Mom and dad will never forgive me. I'll never be able to come up with that much money. Another assignment from the judge and I have to do it. Because taking all my money wasn't enough, he wants more from me. I've never been so scared. What did you get yourself into, sis? Look in the app called "dear diary." My sister was blackmailed. and whoever did it could have killed her. There's over 200 hours of audio on here. How did you find this? Dee hid it in her closet. I was looking through her things and I found it. Have you showed your parents? No, not yet. Okay. Thanks. We'll look into it. The simplest things become impossible. The texts never stop. I can't... Hi, honey, what are you looking at? Nothing. Well, if it's nothing... Do you mind if I take a look? I spoke with detective Diaz today. About? I found something the cops needed to see. Well, then I want to see it too. The blackmail, the lies, and now the guilt. I'll never be free of what I've done. I can't believe she kept it to herself. She could have told me. It's not your fault. You know that, right? She could have come to us, her parents, but, obviously, she didn't feel like she could do that. If it's not my fault, then it's definitely not yours. I was so mad at Dee the last time we talked. The last thing i said to her was... "Whatever." She knew how much you loved her, honey. Can we hear one more? I told Marisa about my new... relationship. I knew she wouldn't approve. I can't believe you're cheating on Christian. He's smart, hot, and age appropriate. Yeah, Christian's sweet, but he's a child. Uh, yeah, you're right. He doesn't have a wife. What do you want me to say? You're talking about an affair. It's not like that. Honest, I'm in love. Fine, if you really want this, I'll support you. But end things with Christian soon. -It's not fair to him. -I know. I'm going to... Right after his open Mike. -Diana! -He's been preparing for... Weeks, and I'm already gonna break his heart. I don't want to screw up his big night too. I guess I can keep quiet a few more weeks. Thank you. So did you listen to the diary yet? - She was having-- -an affair, I know. Did you talk to the guy or to Dee's college boyfriend Christian? Look, we're focusing on other investigative angles right now. What does that mean? We found that there was involvement - with a Russian gang. This is more dangerous than you think. This is a dangerous situation. Are you at least treating this as a homicide? We found a secondary break in her neck, but we're still determining whether or not the injury was postmortem. Oh my god. So somebody did stage her suicide... After they broke her neck first. Or her neck simply broke in two places after she killed herself. Look, that's all I'm going to tell you right now, and I'm trusting that you will stay out of this. Diaz thinks there's more involved here... That somebody could have killed Dee and staged her suicide. They found a secondary break in her neck. Oh my god! They think it involves a Russian gang. Mom, I'm gonna go talk to her boyfriend Christian. No! They'll recognize you from Dee's social media. Mom, I'll go undercover. I won't be dressed as me. I've already lost one child. Okay. You're right. We don't know this guy. Oh, go ahead, take it. -It's yours. -No please. You were great. Thank you. Yeah, your song really moved me. It was so... Passionate and real. Christian. Kim. So, Kim, do you go to Cartwright? No. Parker. Community college? I 'm sorry. I didn't... mean that to sound like, um-- a condolence? No worries. Someone has to go there. All right, you caught me. I'm a jerk. It's all good. What made you schlep down here from Parker, if you don't-- you don't mind me asking? Uh... I'll tell you only if you... Promise not to make fun of me. -Deal? -Mm-hmm. I made plans with my ex... To come here... Before he was my ex, of course. He does these open Mikes sometimes. Oh, so you're hoping to run into him here. No. Not exactly. He wasn't who I thought he was. Did he cheat on you? I'm sorry for prying. I shouldn't have. It's okay. Talking helps. If it makes you feel any better... I just got out of a pretty bad relationship, myself. My girlfriend wasn't who I thought she was either. Did she cheat? I'm sorry, Christian. Thanks. I'd really rather not talk about it though. Okay. No more doom and gloom. Just 'cause we're single, doesn't mean we can't enjoy a little music. Sit with me for the second half. In return, I'll be delightful arm candy and provide insightful yet biting criticism of each performer. Okay. I can't say no to that. You're gonna have to excuse the mess in my room. It's a little... Crazy right now. Or we could, you know, hang out outside. There's some benches if that would, you know, make you feel more comfortable. Yeah, that would be cool. Yeah? All right, go back. -Weak. -Really? It's kind of-- yeah. --It's been a-- -hey. -Hey. Oh, uh, this is Kim. I met her at the open Mike. Kim, these are my friends and dorm-mates. Hey. Marisa. It's super nice to meet you. James. - Hi. Kim, is it? Would you mind giving James and I a minute alone with Christian? There's something we need to discuss in private. Yeah... sure. Um... where's the bathroom? Oh, uh, down the hall, to the right. -Thanks. -Yeah. Dude, what are you thinking? Thanks, dude, that's really nice. What James is trying to say in his usual neanderthal way is Dee died three days ago. Yeah, and I found out she was leaving me four days ago. All right, what's your point? Look, I know you're hurt and confused, but don't you think it's a little too soon to be seeing someone? Especially someone so... "So"? So what? She looks like Dee. It's freaking weird. Why are you telling him how to grieve? He's the one who just lost his girlfriend. Who made you the judge? I'm gonna go, Christian. Hopefully we'll do this again sometime. It was super nice. Sorry I caused this. Kim! Dude... You okay? --Yeah. What is it? What is that? Who is that? I think it's probably just... Christian's friend James. Dee talked about him in her diary, remember? You went to see him? I think they're just trying to scare me, so I don't get near them. It's working. But that means they're worried. They won't hurt us. We're too visible now. Yes, we are... hopefully. And it's going to stay that way. Okay? Okay, mom. Oh, honey. You look exhausted. Yeah. Why don't you just rest, and we'll look into this James tomorrow... Maybe even talk to Diaz about it. I, uh, asked Seth to stop by. There she is. Becca, I'm so sorry for your loss. Seth was your sister's internship supervisor. Diana was a very special young woman. She'll be missed. Your father's office is putting together a scholarship in Diana's name. It'll go to a promising intern every year. All we need from you are some personal thoughts about your sister that we can use for promotional materials. Definitely. Great. It's nice to finally meet you. I've heard a lot about you from your father. Like I said, Diana was an amazing woman. I just wanted to have this conversation in person. Keith thought it would be best. Thank you, Seth. We appreciate this scholarship idea. And Dee would appreciate it too. Uh, well... We should be off. -Be home late. -Okay. Take care, both of you. Did you see his reaction to Dee? He's married. So was Dee's man. Mom, come with me to meet this James guy. -Beck! -I heard your conversation with Diaz. She's not on our side here. I just want to talk to him, that's it, get our own information... for Dee. - What can I get you? - -Hey, man, I'll take a yogurt parfait. For here or to go? That's five dollars. One of these cards still has some credit. Find the right card... Take your time. Spoons are over there. I'll take a coffee as well, if I could. Thanks. Coming up. What? - What is this? Did they all pay off the judge? Back so soon. A sweet girl fighting for her life. Fine. It was a car crash. That's terrible. She was touch-and-go for awhile, but I heard she's out of critical. Thank god. Why do you care? Look me in the eye and tell me you're being straight with Christian and you don't have any other agenda. That's what I thought. Stay away from him! Don't make me destroy you. I don't need the hassle. Dr. becter, please. Paging Dr. stayman. Dr. stayman, please. Shelly? Shelly. You don't know who I am, but I just had one question about your accident. No accident. What do you mean? What do you mean "no accident"?! What happened to you? I was followed. 9-1-1, what is your emergency? There's been an accident, on the corner of third and lowe. Send an ambulance. I'm sorry. Diana? Is that you? Okay, one last question? Who's the judge? Ah! Hi, honey. Hey, mom. Can I play you something? I can't take this anymore. The judge went too far this time. I need help. I've got to tell Seth. Why would Dee tell her internship supervisor about the judge? Exactly. I'm just here to see my dad. Oh, Dee. Thanks for lunch, Keith. What are you doing here? I, um... I just wanted to see the place my sister spent so much time. I understand that you're grieving, and I miss her too, but this is my private office. You can't be in here. I didn't think it was a big deal since you and my dad are such close friends. A distinction worthy of a lawyer. Your dad would be proud. He's back now. We were at lunch. Okay, thanks. And sorry. I just... Really miss her. Maybe he's the one who blackmailed Dee. He'd have a lot more to lose than she did if this got out. I think we should confront him. If you're right and she was seeing Seth, that would be a huge breach of trust on his part. Maybe even grounds for firing. But that doesn't make him a blackmailer... Or a killer. I don't know. I don't know either. But even if there's just a connection... And we miss it... Honey, don't you have an audition tomorrow morning? Oh my god. I totally forgot. Why don't you go and rehearse? I know how important that is to you. Becca, we're ready for you. Oh! Oh my god. Becca Wilson. Becca, we're ready for you. Thanks for coming in, Becca. -Whoa. -Whoa! --Are you all right? Yeah. What are you doing here? I came here to ask you why you broke into my room. You followed me here?! I did... Becca. How do you know my real name? Dee's Facebook, genius. So why'd you break into my room? And what do you know about the judge? Just what I learned from Dee's diary. The judge is a monster and he killed her. Killed? No, no, no, no. She committed suicide. Dee wouldn't do that. I found your stash of money. Stop pretending! I know what I saw -in your room! -You don't know squat! That envelope was my payment to the judge. I'm being blackmailed, same as your sister. What does the judge have on you? What does he have on Dee? This diary, have you given it to the cops yet? You really need to work on your trust issues. I could help you. What do you mean? I could help you find the judge. I've been a victim for months. I'm sick of it, but you and me together, we could stop him. How can I convince you to trust me? You're not gaining my trust. You're making me uncomfortable. There. Now you have my number. What happened? Nothing. I slipped and fell leaving the audition. Just upset 'cause I tanked it. I'm sorry, Becca. You never know, though. I bet you did great. Thanks, dad. We're here to honor an exceptional young woman who touched all our lives. Not only was Diana the most gifted intern I ever had, but she was truly a good person, who cared about helping people. Whether it was dealing with someone at the firm, or a friend, or a stranger on the street... Diana had an empathy that wouldn't quit. Will the Wilsons please come forward? Keith, Michelle, Becca, Diana will be missed... But not forgotten. Every year Simmons & young will award a $5,000 scholarship in her name to a promising intern. Thank you, Seth. And thank you all for being here. Thank you, everyone. Please enjoy some coffee, some snacks. Thank you. I'll be right back. Okay, honey. What are you doing here? I intern here too. My friend Diana got me the gig. I guess I know why you're here, Kim, Becca... Whoever. You're her sister. I won't pretend to know what you're going through... But stay away from my friends. I'll be right back. Do you know where I found this? Yeah... you do. Do you sleep with all your interns or just the daughters of your colleagues? Did my dad know? No. He would have killed me. I loved her, you know. I was going to leave my wife. Please-- please don't tell anyone. I already lost Diana. I... I don't want to lose everything else. Besides, the truth would only drag her name through the mud and hurt your father. Are you the judge? I'm a lawyer. Not a judge, the judge. Dee was blackmailed with a video of you two doing things that i will never forget. And you certainly had access to make that video. I make-- I earn 900 grand a year. I don't need to extort teenagers. Maybe. But you're the reason she was blackmailed and got in too deep. You were supposed to mentor her... Not sleep with her and get her killed! I hope you think about her death every day for the rest of your life. We found entries in Diana's diary showing she functioned as a courier between the judge and known members of a local gang: Drakony. They're Russian. It means "dragons." Drakony specialize in confidence scams and extortion. But this blackmail scheme is pretty new. This is the third instance. I mean, they had a guy down at the cedar club on Wilshire gathering dirt and blackmailing society types under the pseudonym "the speaker." And there was someone at the lewison building, the commercial district, extorting white-collars under the name "Mr. president." And now the judge. What matters is that drakony is dangerous. In both previous instances... Deaths were involved. So what does that mean? The final autopsy results are in. Becca was right. Diana was murdered. That suicide was apparently staged. Forensics say that the fatal fracture was severe trauma to the cervical chord. That couldn't have been caused by a fall from a ceiling fan, which means that the second break was postmortem. And the judge? He's the killer? Interesting pronoun choice. We're working on a theory... That the judge might not be actual drakony-- just working with them... And that she may be someone close to Diana. She? Where were you Tuesday afternoon? 3:15 to be precise. Becca don't say anything. Shelly noonan is dead after a visit from your daughter. -Who is Shelly? -I was just talking to her! Be quiet, all right. They'll use anything you say. She's not talking to you until she gets an attorney. Shelly noonan is another victim of the judge, injected with a fast-acting toxin on Tuesday. -What is that?! -The murder weapon. I ran the prints. I was surprised as anyone when they came back matching Becca. How did you get Becca's prints for comparison? She's not in the system. Becca brought this in herself. -There's more to this story-- -Becca, please, don't say anything. Unless she found out you were the judge, confronted you. I mean, maybe you fought, maybe it was an accident. This is outrageous! Listen. We look at all the evidence, not just the clues that lead to easy suspects. Now, can you explain the prints? Becca won't make a statement until she consults with a criminal attorney. Fine, lawyer up. Come and give me a statement tomorrow... But don't leave town because you're a suspect in a murder investigation. Becca... You have to tell your father everything, everything that you told me. Becca, you heard the detective. You'll stay out of it now, right? Yeah, dad. I'll stay out of it. I know you're right. Thanks for giving my name to the cops. I love cavity searches. I thought you're a victim. Don't you want justice? How do you think i got blackmailed in the first place? This isn't about blackmail. My sister was murdered, and the cops have the wrong suspect. Who? I don't trust you yet, not till you tell me what the judge has on you. Fine, I may have spent the last year acquiring and distributing test answers and amphetamines for a price, obviously. Aww, daddy doesn't give you an allowance? Not one that suits my needs. Look, I was gonna quit, honest... and I had to keep selling 'em to pay him off. Dee was my friend too. If I'd have known she was targeted, I'd have helped her. Say I believe you. Then what? Then we work together to find the judge. So if the cops had the wrong suspect, who's the right suspect? Who had access to Dee's web cam? Just Christian and Marisa, but who knows for sure. My money's on Christian. He learned Dee was dumping him the day before she died. He's been a train wreck since, and he's taking it out on my ears. One second, a revenge song. The next second, a dopey love song. Then we start there. He said he wasn't the revenge type. You weren't the only one who trailed me to my audition. The judge was there too. For you, mademoiselle. Aww. Merci, monsieur. I love the taste of coffee, but it's so strong for me. This way... it gets filtered through a layer of sugary goodness. Wow, okay. Yeah, I know people like coffee with their sugar, but... - You really mean it, huh? You know, I'm really glad you called me back. I wasn't sure you were going to. Me too. I'm sorry. After that encounter with your friends, I just... needed a few days. How are things with them? They're trying. -Mm-hmm. -You know? I mean, we all are, i guess, but... It's been pretty hard, lately, especially after what happened. Hmm. Literally, the only time I've actually cracked a smile in the past few weeks is... when I'm with you. Really? Yeah. That's really sweet. I mean it. -It's good. -Right? That's from their underground album. I want to listen too. Hang in there. You'll be happy again. I'm sorry. It's just... too soon... For both of us. You're right... But I like you, Kim. You don't have to say anything, okay? I can wait. I told you to stay away from him! You're screwing with his head. I don't care if you're grieving. You're an awful person. The only reason i haven't told him the truth is to spare him from another betrayal, but if I see you again... I tell everything. I don't think Christian's the judge. Christian is the judge. What? I texted you, look. I took a photo of his GPS log. Right there, see? He was near the casting office during my audition. Oh my god! Mom? Dad? Hey! Oh! Ah! Becca! Are you here? Hey! Go after him! No, it's too dangerous. Are you okay? Yeah, I think so. No. Oh no! Damn it! The flash drive is gone. You didn't back it up online? I lied to the cops about having a copy of it. I thought it was safe to keep it off the cloud. Okay. Whoever did this, the judge, the Russian gang, whoever, they're gonna hear the full diary and know exactly what the cops know. They're gonna want to tie up loose ends. --You got to go. Use the back door. Be careful. Becca, honey! We're home. Oh my god! What happened in here? Are you okay? Beck? Beck! I... just flipped out. You did this? I'm sorry. I just lost it. Yeah, you did. Lashing out is not gonna solve anything. Look, we all need to keep it together. I'm okay now. I'll clean up. I'm sorry. Hey. Are you sure Christian's gone? Yeah. Let's do this. Criminology 101, always bring gloves to an illegal endeavor. Why am I not surprised you brought designer gloves? I got you some. Here you go. Gee... thanks. Where'd you get that? I have my ways. Hopefully, they didn't canceled it. We're in luck. I think I got something. This is Dee's. Jackpot. Look, I'm telling you, all right, i looked everywhere. - All right, I had to borrow a master key. Oh, whatever. Why won't you trust me? I'm telling you, there's something off about that girl. You know, Kim actually takes my mind off of things, so... Look, I'm sorry, okay? I don't mean to sound ungrateful or anything. I know you're just concerned. You're a good friend, okay? --Are you okay? Sorry, Jessica slammed my shoulder during practice. - I'll be fine. No luck? Can't find it. I'll have to go to admin and get a new one, I guess. Her shoulder. Yeah, so it hurts, so what? Hello? Uh, yeah, I mean, if it's an emergency. James wants me to meet him in his room. Apparently, it's urgent. Fine let's go. He said just me. Um... I'll catch up with you later, okay? I'd know that squeal anywhere. What are you talking about? Why'd you break into her house? You're both insane. I know you stole the flash drive. You're a psycho. I tried to cut you slack because of your sister since I miss her too, but enough is enough! I'm calling the cops. Good, they can compare your hair to the hair on the ski mask. I don't think she's lying. -Her shoulder. -I hurt it during practice. You can ask the 30 people who were there. I'm filing a restraining order. Don't come near me again. -Dad? -This is Seth Collins. Are you there? What do you want? To tell the truth. I know who Diana met with right before she died. Who?! Did you tell the cops? No, not when I thought it was a suicide. Look, I was a coward, but I would like for us to meet with him now. Together. Pool our intel to give them a real shot of finding out who did this. I know that cop thinks it was you, but I think we can change her mind. I'll be right there. Dee's lover knows the last person to see her alive. I got to go. Miss Wilson. Interesting seeing you here at another crime scene. Becca, what's going on. We all need to talk... now. We searched your room. We found this under the bed. We confirmed that it was used to blackmail Shelly and Diana, and we're expecting it to lead to your other victims. -I didn't blackmail anyone! -How dare you! She must have planted the burner during the break-in. -What break-in? -My room. At our house, i said I had a tantrum, but I was attacked by the same psycho who attacked me at the hospital. I saw her here today right before you stopped me. She's either the judge or his muscle. Can anyone confirm? I can confirm. I was there too. I insisted we keep it quiet... Even from my husband. Why not report it? Because we didn't feel like we could trust you. I follow evidence. You already know about the syringe. Let's see what else we got. This was sent anonymously. So right there, we have obstruction, b&e, evidence tampering. I'm advising my client not to say anything else -at this time. -That's okay. She can listen. We also have a restraining order filed by Marisa Morgan, who was claiming that Becca was stalking her and Christian Sykes, Diana's ex. None of this will play out in the jury without motive. My client has no history of... Violence? And regarding motive, I have your client killing her sister and Shelly noonan to keep her blackmail scheme quiet. As for Mr. Collins who died in transport to the hospital after being stabbed eight times, not when we have Becca berating him in his office-- multiple witnesses. A jury won't need the details of the fight as long as they know it happened, but this is the kicker: Your client was the last known person to speak with Shelly and Seth. Coincidence? That's preposterous. Why would Becca be talking to Seth? He called, she answered, talk last over a minute, half-hour later, he's killed. I mean, you care to tell me about the call? The fight in the office? Becca, don't answer that. We're not all the way home on Seth's and Diana's deaths, but for Shelly, i have a kill weapon with prints and enough circumstantial to fill an ocean. Roll up on your drakony contacts and we'll talk deal. In the mean time, Rebecca Wilson, you're under arrest for the murder of Shelly noonan -and the blackmail-- -mom! -My god, you can't do this! -Do not say anything! Do not say anything without Daryl present. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. Becca, we will have you out tonight. Do not say anything! Honey. I can't believe they think I did it. Should I be scared, daddy? You guys believe me about Dee, right? Yes, of course, sweetheart. Of course. Christian is the judge. I took a photo of his GPS log. Right there, see. I can prove who the judge is, but I need your help. You can't leave the house with that thing on. -You'll be back in jail. -I know it's my fault But I'm also the only one who can get myself out of it. Sorry, mom. Got to go. If I can't stop you, tell me how I can help. What happened to the anklet? My mom and bolt cutters. Cops are probably swarming the house now. Wow. I can prove Christian's the judge if you'll still help me. You got a raw deal. I'll help you if I can. I want to be the judge's next victim. -A sting? -Exactly. I'll arrange a drop, stake it out, and catch the jerk red-handed. Cleaning your name and getting Dee full justice in one fell swoop, not bad. One hitch. The judge has to think the blackmail is his idea. I guess it would be suspicious if you asked to be blackmailed. I need you to plant the idea in Christian's head. What's the bait? I found a stash of jewels in Dee's room, some sugar-daddy bling from Seth, probably worth 20 grand. What do you need me to do? You got to tell Christian you're at jewelers today, shopping for one of your girls, and you saw Kim selling a pile of expensive pieces. So expensive the store owner wouldn't take them without a receipt, which she didn't have. That ought to hook him. I love this plan, very femme fatale. I'll tell Christian the next time I see him. Uh, no, there's no time. How am I supposed to make that info-dump sound natural over the phone? He's your friend. Figure it out. Please. Okay, yeah. Done. I promise you he bought it. Thank you. Yeah. Now we wait. Are you okay? If Christian's the judge, he'll bring the payout right back to his room. I need to know for sure. What about your mom? I thought it was safer if I came alone. Hey, come on. What the hell? I put florescent powder on the blackmail envelope. It glows in uv light. Like this one. Only the judge would spark up like a glowworm from carrying that envelope around. What gave me away? Christian's GPS log... The one you sent me. There was no record of him being at Dee's funeral... But he was there. The log was from your cell, not his. You took a screenshot of your own phone and passed it off as Christian's. Sorry, Becca. I never meant for things to go this way. I liked you. I really did. Irina. Did you kill them all? Seth, Shelly... Dee? Did you kill my sister?! Only the others. Not sister. Then who did? Some other drakony? I'm gonna die now, just tell me. I never meant to hurt her. It was an accident. An accident? If I didn't do it, they would kill me and get somebody else to do it. He's right. Drakony hate loose ends, and James avoids being one... Unlike you. You can join your sister now. - Any time now! - Oh. -Back away from her! - Drop the weapon! - -Whoa, whoa, whoa. -Whoa. -Drop it! Now! All right, all right, okay. All right, all right. Did you get everything you needed? Yeah. How? I can prove who the judge is, but I need your help. You're my only chance. If any part of you thinks I could be innocent, please, hear me out. I'm listening. Hold position. Let him leave feeling clever. All right, you're up, ladies. Let him escape and make it look good. We're here for a murder confession, nothing less. Good job. Christian, I'm so sorry for lying to you... And for hurting you. Can you forgive me? I'm sorry for your loss. -Mom! -Oh! Are we good? Well, in light of new evidence, and Becca's cooperation, the da's dropping all charges. I love you. Good work tonight. I was just a small-time grifter who ripped off the wrong guy. The drakony found me and made it clear I had two ways to pay off my debt: The next thing I know, I'm enrolled in Cartwright running an extortion scheme. Get to the bodies. It started with Shelly. She said she was gonna go to the cops. So I sent Diana to follow her, you know, just to scare her a little, but Shelly panicked and drove off the road. After the accident, the drakony decided to tie up some loose ends. I went to them and I... Said I could smooth things out myself, you know, put my marks in line, but they said no. I know what you think of me, but I never killed anyone. I didn't know what to do. I mean, at first I thought I'd just... Save who I could and get out of dodge. Shelly was stuck in the hospital. There was nothing i could do for her. So I went to Dee. --Shh, Seth. No, there's someone here. --Dee, we need to talk. No, it's my friend James. Let me, uh, get rid of him and I'll call you back, okay? James, what are you doing here? I know about Shelly and the judge. Five minutes, that's all I ask. We have to go to the cops together! You're not listening to me! They're gonna kill you. You need to grab your stuff and leave today. James, how do you know what kill order they gave? Or that I tailed Shelly that night? Or where I live for that matter? I told you, I'm a victim too. James... Are you the judge? Oh my god! I thought you were my friend! -I am your friend. -You are not! You ruined my life! -And I am going to the cops! -Calm down! Now I have a name to tell them! -Dee, you don't want to do that. -Yes! Yes, I do. Just-- -you weren't paying attention-- -no, no! Get off of me! I almost forgot. I made you another copy. I heard you lost the last one. Entry 116. Today, I was supposed to be out for the judge, but it was Becca's play and I couldn't miss it, so I just stood in the back and-- and watched her for a few minutes. She didn't even know I was there. I don't think she knows how good she really is. She will be such a big success. She is... The heart of our family. I'm so proud of her. And mom and dad were there, watching her so proudly. I love them so much. All right, guys, we're losing the light. Let's get this. Roll sound. - Testing. -137, take three, marker. Right and... camera set! And action, Becca! Hey, Billy. Yeah, I would love to go out. She's good. Yes, I know. Dee, would be proud. Really? Okay, cut! That's cut! |
