"Previously onAmericanGothic..." "(Tessa screams)" "MADELINE:" "The man you pushed downthestairs was the Silver Bells Killer." "We can dispose of the body." "Nooneneedstoknow ." "He manipulated me." "MADELINE:" "We are all victims ofyourfather'sdecisions." "REPORTER:" "The Silver Bells accomplicehasstruckagain." "MADELINE:" "It's the accomplice, tauntingus." "BRADY:" "If you cooperate and you help us find this accomplice, I will do everything that I can to keep you out of jail." "ALISON:" "I'dratherlosethe race and keep my family than the other way around." "You used our son to buy drugs." "This gives me full custody of Jack." "Please, no, Cam!" "ALISON:" "Did anyone sleep?" "TESSA:" "Not at all." "Who could?" "MADELINE:" "Well, as long as we're all up," "I might as well make breakfast." "CAM:" "You've got to be kidding me." "I can't believe there isn't one of me." "Well, maybe next time, bud." "(sighs)" "(doorknob rattles)" "(doorknob rattles)" "(sighs):" "Oh, God." "ALISON:" "Soit'strue." "Everything Mom told us." "And all it took for you guys to come clean was a psychopath targeting us." "BRADY:" "No one saw anything, heard anything?" "No." "We found it just like that." "BRADY:" "Which means that someone was able to get in and out of the house completely undetected." "Yeah." "So, Jack and I are leaving." "And so should all of you." "Where are you going?" "You know, really anywhere that doesn't have a bull's-eye on the door or a tiny version of me dead and tied to a chair." "Jack, let's go." "I need to take you in." "Now." "Both of you." "find the accomplice." "I need to talk to Garrett first." "Tessa, we don't have time..." "Brady, please." "TESSA:" "Youdidit forme." "That's how all this got started." "You agreed to bury the body to protect me from knowing my part." "You could have gone to the police." "I would've been okay." "Everything's out in the open now." "It's gonna play out how it play..." "No." "That's not good enough." "You should run." "What?" "You need to go right now." "Go get on a plane and leave the country." "I'll wire you money and you can start a new life." "I'll find Christina, and I'll convince her to let you be a part of your child's life." "But you guys are..." "you're in danger." "I-I..." "I can't just walk away." "And I can't live with you losing another minute of your life." "Please." "Run." "Who called the police?" "BRADY:" "I had a unit sent out to watch the property." "No one's gonna get in or out without police knowing." "And I'm having a security company install a new system in here today." "State-of-the-art, so..." "Okay, we got to go." "Where's Garrett?" "Where's Garrett, Tess?" "I'm ready." "Let's go." "No more running." "BRADY:" "I need to get back on the case." "I've given you two witnesses and the location of SBK's body." "Even if you hadn't been suspended, it's still a massive conflict of interest." "I still have the tape." "You and Conley talking about the bribe that you took to destroy evidence." "It might not be admissible, but it will be enough to end your career." "I try and be straight with you, and you blackmail me?" "Cutter, my family's in danger." "I can't be sidelined right now." "Get me back on this case or Internal Affairs will hear that tape." "MAN:" "Do I need to remind you, Counselor, that we're in the middle of a homicide investigation into the SBK accomplice?" "My clients have..." "Your clients have willfully kept information..." "I'm sorry." "I never told you that." "But I am... truly sorry." "For what, exactly?" "For convincing you to protect Tessa." "Why don't you try again." "For letting you leave." "No." "No." "You want to apologize, you don't just say what comes easy to you." "You apologize for what you did." "You apologize for all of it." "Someday, if you have a family of your own, maybe you'll understand." "There's no limit to what you would do to protect them." "You know what?" "I am gonna have a family." "Pretty soon, actually." "And when I do... you won't know them." "Ever." "I'll make sure of that." "I'll say you're dead." "(footsteps approaching)" "So, here's the deal." "Five years for manslaughter, improper disposal of a body, and obstruction of justice." "One year for obstruction of justice and accessory after the fact." "Those sentences will be suspended, no jail time, if you cooperate with the investigation into the accomplice." "You seem unsure how to respond, so let me help." "It was an outstanding bit of legal maneuvering." "I am very good at what I do." "Thanks." "(footsteps receding)" "(drill whirring)" "(phone ringing)" "Hi." "How are you?" "Fine, yeah." "All is well." "Um, I'm actually back in Boston for a wedding." "I keep seeing your campaign ads everywhere." "I just wanted to wish you good luck on Tuesday." "Thank you." "It's nice to hear from you." "It's been really rough going here without you, to be honest." "Sorry to bother you." "Hey, um, I'm sorry, Naomi." "Can-can I call you back?" "No, of course." "No rush." "Thanks." "What can I do for you?" "One of my guys found something while they were running cable." "Thishappens morethanyouthink." "We start opening up walls, going through vents, we find stuff." "People get excited, think it's gonna be, uh, gold bars or a lost Picasso or something, but, uh, usually it's just sex toys or pot." "Which, you know, is pretty fun, too." "¶ ¶" "I'll take care of this." "Great." "Okay, we're all clear, guys." "ALISON:" "It'sa weirdboxofbells." "We don't know what it means." "MADELINE:" "If you're looking for the bells, they're gone." "IhadGunther get rid of... all that old stuff from the shed." "Just like the bells from the other murders." "¶ ¶" "(doorbell rings)" "Who is it?" "It's Officer Petrilla from Boston PD." "(indistinct police radio chatter)" "(exhales)" "Thank you." "We're here to process the dollhouse for prints and DNA." "Hello again." "I swabbed you." "A while back." "Is there anything else in the house that we should know about?" "Excuse me?" "Any other potential evidence that we should look at?" "No." "That's it." "MAN:" "Don'tholdanythingback." "Any detail you can remember about SBK." "No matter how small." "A mole, a chipped tooth." "Now, I'm gonna ask you some questions." "I want you to use the reference photos to help you with your description." "Let's get started." "Did he remind you of any celebrity?" "Uh, no, I don't really know any celebrities." "Maybe a little like..." "Ted Danson." "GARRETT:" "Ithinkhiseyeswere brown." "Like that, they were, uh, small and quite wide set." "MADELINE:" "Darkhair." "I think brown." "Maybe black." "GARRETT:" "Morelike picture number four." "Yeah, like that, but, uh... a thinner nose." "And a little bit of facial hair." "No, more like a five o'clock shadow." "Okay." "Is that close?" "Yeah, that looks like him." "That seems about right." "LINDA:" "It's almost like it's two different people." "It was a long time ago." "I only saw him for a few seconds." "Anything else?" "Uh, scars, tattoos?" "Unusual clothing?" "GARRETT:" "Hehadatattooonhischest." "It-it, uh..." "it had a cross on it." "Uh, like a-a crucifix?" "It was different." "Uh..." "Okay." "Draw it the best you can." "Like that." "LINDA:" "It's a Brigid's cross." "It's an old Irish symbol." "Every other drunk D-bag we bring in here has got one tattooed on his calf." "So, you've narrowed it down to an Irish guy in Boston who possibly looks like this." "Or this." "All right, bud." "Yeah, I'm going to, uh, make you something to eat in a bit." "Okay." "I'm gonna watch my jellyfish video." "All right." "NARRATOR (over headphones):" "The cell regeneration process, called transdifferentiation, is unique to the animal kingdom." "In theory, it can repeat itself indefinitely, if the immortal jellyfish doesn't fall victim to natural predators." "As a result of their regenerative properties, this species of jellyfish is perpetually multiplying." "The jellyfish is indigenous to the Pacific region but has spread throughout the colder areas of the Northern Pacific Ocean." "The distinctions among species..." "Hey, bud." "Hey, Mom." "You want to go for a ride?" "Yeah." "(sniffles)" "JACK:" "Where are we going?" "SOPHIE:" "It's a surprise." "JACK:" "Should we wait for Dad?" "SOPHIE:" "Nah, he can join us after." "(door closes in distance)" "CAM:" "Sophie!" "Sophie!" "No." "(panting)" "No..." "(tires screeching)" "(air hissing)" "Oh!" "(exhales)" "(door closes in distance)" "(footsteps approaching)" "The police released you?" "I told them everything I know." "Did you?" "You told us those were gone." "You held onto them in case someone else got in your way." "Another David Morales?" "Alison..." "And someone did, didn't they?" "Jennifer Windham." "And you still knew how to stage a Silver Bells murder." "You killed her, didn't you?" "You snuck into her home... put a belt around her neck." "Alison..." "You strangled her." "Say it." "Say the words." ""I killed her."" "Say it!" "I had to." "For Garrett." "He was in prison, falsely accused of being the accomplice." "I proved that it couldn't be him." "You could justify anything." "I've been... thinking about everything that's happened since we found these bells in the shed." "Like Gunther." "Why did he decide to hang himself at the exact moment the police were closing in on Cam?" "Gunther was dying of cancer." "He wanted his wife to be financially secure after his death." "And now she is." "(quietly):" "Oh, my God." "You were the only one with Dad when he died." "What really happened?" "He wanted to tell the police about Morales." "(sniffles)" "Everyone's so afraid of the accomplice." "And we have a serial killer right in front of us." "I didn't kill that blind woman." "And I didn't put bells in my own purse." "There is someone after us." "I'm scared." "And you should be, too." "Oh, I am." "You belong in prison." "I don't think you fully grasp everything that I've done for this family." "I helped us survive." "And I did it so you could have everything." "And look at you now." "You're this close to making political history." "Tessa has finally embraced motherhood." "Cam is finally rid of Sophie, and Garrett is out of prison." "I had a hand in all of it." "And there's not one thing I would take back." "And if anything happens in the future," "I'm here for you." "Let... me... go." "(line ringing)" "Hey, where are you?" "I need to talk to you." "I'm on my way." "C.J.:" "The deal is done." "You're not gonna do jail time for what happened back then." "Right, but what if someone were to accuse me of having been involved with something really serious in the present day?" "And they had evidence." "What steps would I..." "Let me stop you right there." "Have you watched any good TV lately?" "Pardon?" "I only ask because it can be very soothing, get your mind off things." "I'll tell you what show I love" " Boston Legal." "Have you seen it?" "Oh, terrific show." "Great blend of comedy and drama." "And that Denny Crane, what a character. (chuckles)" "Alan Shore, the other impeccable legal mind, he was always toeing the ethical line." "Like he might say to a client, uh," ""As your attorney," ""I would never advise that you break any laws," ""but if you needed your assets protected," ""you should consider liquidating as soon as possible." ""With solid evidence," ""it's very likely assets could be frozen immediately." ""And keep your passport handy, in case you decide to travel abroad."" "That kind of thing." "Of course, he'd never say it outright." "But the client would catch on." "Quite clever." "Oh, I'm sorry." "Sometimes I go on these little verbal loopty-loos." "As far as your dilemma," "I..." "I'm afraid I can't advise you on that." "I mean, she could be heading to Canada with him, for all I know." "Okay, Cam, don't panic." "(sighs) Um..." "What about her credit cards?" "Uh, is there a statement anywhere?" "Maybe she made a recent purchase." "Yes." "Yes." "Yes." "Thanks." "(dialing)" "(line ringing)" "Hi." "This is Sophie Hawthorne." "Um, I just had my card, but I looked in my wallet, and it's-it's not there." "And I'm worried that it's fallen into the wrong hands." "I'm wondering, can you confirm my most recent purchases?" "Oh, yeah, I'm happy to give you the last four digits of my Social." "They are three, two, five, six." "That's 3256." "That's right." "Yes, thank you." "Yes, yeah, that sounds right." "Yeah, of course." "The convenience store." "Downtown." "Yeah, thanks." "Bye." "Wait, where are you going?" "Uh, we're going to find Jack." "No, I really need to talk to you both." "As soon as we get back." "(door closes) (sighs)" "(line ringing)" "Hey." "It's me." "How soon can we meet up?" "¶ ¶" "(ring clatters)" "He's nine years old." "He's got an octopus on his shirt." "She's got a tattoo on her neck." "It's a cherry blossom." "Oh, yeah, I remember her." "Foxy." "Did she say where they were going?" "No." "They were in and out pretty quick." "What did she buy?" "Do you remember?" "Yeah, I do." "Two bottles of ranch dressing." "Two bottles of ranch dressing?" "That's it?" "Hey, I don't judge." "My uncle used to drink that stuff like milkshakes." "Of course, he's dead now." "Okay, I mean..." "I mean, obviously she's on something." "She's being erratic." "She's got my kid." "Calm down." "Look." "All right." "(door opens, bell jingles)" "Is this public knowledge yet?" "Is what public knowledge?" "Everything I told you." "Is it in the press?" "No." "Until we catch the accomplice, we're not releasing any details." "All right, then I need a favor." "I need your help to find Christina." "You serious?" "Just an address." "(scoffs) "Just an address."" "Sure, Garrett, why not?" "Uh, you need anything else?" "Maybe, uh, Hillary's e-mails or Trump's tax returns?" "Brady." "Look, I just want her to hear the truth from me first." "That's all." "LINDA:" "Dana has an update on SBK's bones." "I'm going to the lab." "Great." "Right behind you." "and you can decide if she gets it or not." "I have to go do this." "Don't go anywhere." "I've decided on the kind of boat I want." "Ketch sailboat." "I've been pricing a few on eBay." "What is she talking about?" "Let's discuss bones first and boats later, Dana." "No DNA match to the system, but SBK suffered a fracture to the left femur." "It was repaired with a titanium rod." "13 Boston hospitals purchased this make of rod between '89 and '98." "(sighs)" "Okay." "So we get the medical records of every one of those hospitals who had the surgery, we compile a master list." "That is a nine-year window." "Even if we narrow it down, we-we don't know SBK's name." "Wh-What good are medical records?" "Then we cross-reference the names with DMV photo records and we show them to Garrett." "It's gonna be easier for him to I.D. a face than describe one." "One more thing." "Prints in the dollhouse didn't match anyone in the system, but they did have elevated levels of amino acids." "Meaning?" "The accomplice is female." "Thanks for coming over." "Of course." "Everything okay?" "There's a lot swirling around at the moment." "Best kind of preparation for mayor." "I need your advice." "And you've always been really good at helping me work through... problems." "Let's say someone I knew, someone close to me, had done something truly horrible, and the right thing to do would be to tell the authorities, but doing so would destroy a lot of lives." "This is about the Silver Bells case." "Naomi, I can't." "I'm asking you what you think I should do in that scenario." "How would it affect your campaign if you came forward?" "It would end it." "Unequivocally." "Is there any physical evidence tying you to this hypothetical crime?" "Or the cover-up?" "Why did you want to run for mayor?" "(sighs)" "It's... hard to remember now." "Then let me remind you." "You've been given every opportunity, every advantage in life, and you want that privilege to mean something." "To be for something." "You want your girls growing up thinking it's normal to see women in power." "You want better public education, better health care, safer streets, more opportunities, but anyone can be blindly idealistic." "Not everyone can be calculating, even ruthless, in service of those ideals." "But you can." "Is all of that still true?" "Yes." "Then you know the move." "¶ ¶" "¶ ¶" "¶ ¶" "I got rid of the bells." "No one will ever know." "Thank you." "I didn't do it for you." "I know." "You made a difficult decision for the greater good." "Just like I did." "We are not the same." "I don't want you near me or my children ever again." "As far as I'm concerned, you no longer exist." "(shuddering breaths)" "¶ ¶" "Look." "Did you know that octopuses are the most intelligent invertebrates on Earth?" "SOPHIE:" "Wow." "JACK:" "And they're escape artists, too." "There was an octopus in New Zealand that escaped its tank, crawled all the way across the floor into a drainpipe, and went into the ocean." "Now it's free." "You know the bear Uncle Garrett gave you?" "Mm-hmm." "Yeah." "I recorded a message for you on it." "Okay." "And I want you to know..." "Jack!" "Hey!" "Hey." "Hey, bud." "You okay?" "Yeah, sure." "Hey, dude." "Do you want to show me the jellyfish tank?" "Yeah, but they don't have immortal jellyfish here." "(groans) I get it though, because they can't thrive in captivity." "Right." "Mom, you're coming, too, right?" "I'll be right there, Jack." "Okay, cool." "You know, I was thinking, if scientists could find out what makes" "Turritopsisdohrniiimmortal and apply it to humans, maybe we could live longer." "The custody lawyer your mom hired... (scoffs)" "I won't even get supervised visitation." "I just wanted one last memory with him." "Well... you got what you wanted." "I hope you enjoyed it." "You're a lost cause." "Cam?" "Please don't let him forget me." "(shuddering breath)" "Arthur McLaughlin." "Boston area, middle-aged white male, had a rod put in his leg in... '93." "LINDA:" "Survey says..." "Hey." "Hemingway?" "Not him." "(sighs)" "How many more of these are there?" "(sighs) 1,194." "Next." "Franklin Harkington." "NAOMI:" "You all right?" "ALISON: (sighs) Thank you for sticking around." "Ben's okay with you taking extra time off?" "Yeah." "It's fine." "Um..." "I want to see this through with you." "We were always a good team." "(chuckles)" "How are things with Tom?" "(sighs softly)" "I thought pushing you away would help fix things." "It didn't." "We should get back to work." "Writing your victory speech." "Mm." "The polls say it should be a concession." "Ah." "The polls also said that" "Brexit wasn't gonna happen, so... (both chuckle)" "(phone vibrating)" "Sorry." "I need to grab this." "(door closes)" "Franklin Zyckner." "Z-Y-C-K-N-E-R." "(keys clacking)" "(sighs) Shakespeare?" "No." "The tattoo." "Brigid's cross." "Whatifit 'snotjust an old Irish symbol?" "What do you mean?" "What if it's someone's name?" "Like his wife or his daughter or his mother?" "What, named Brigid?" "Well, if we cross-reference that name with a list of patients, we can see..." "One hit." "Emergency contact for her husband John Martin." "He had femur surgery in '97." "(keys clacking)" "(lightning cracking)" "Garrett?" "That's him." "That's the Silver Bells Killer." "(crickets chirping)" "He conked out fast." "Yeah." "Long day." "Yeah." "I couldn't have done it without you." "(pouring drink) That's not true." "No, it's absolutely true." "I mean, I was a total mess." "You calmed me down." "You figured out where they were." "Well, I'm glad I could help." "Ever since I found out what Garrett did to protect me," "I just... eh..." "It's dawned on me how the rest of you see me." "What do you mean?" "Fragile, sensitive Tessa, who always needs protecting." "Well, I don't see you that way." "Who was the first person there when I was going through withdrawal?" "Who kept in touch with Garrett?" "And when the family drifts apart, you always pull it back together." "You're the glue." "BRADY:" "Well, he's squeaky clean fora serialkiller." "No criminal record whatsoever." "His wife Brigid died in 1997, in the same car accident that left John needing surgery on his leg." "What about relatives, associates?" "Nah, no-no siblings, both parents are long dead." "They had a daughter." "Named Dara." "We need to find her." "Thanks, guys." "See you tomorrow." "Everyone's heading out." "But energy's good, morale is high." "We are almost there." "You want to grab dinner?" "Guess who I just got off the phone with." "Hawaii's future governor." "Your boss, Ben." "He says you backed out of the job the night before your flight to Honolulu." "You're not in Boston for a wedding." "You never left." "How did you..." "The metro cards in your purse." "You've been here all along." "So why did you lie to me?" "You broke my heart." "I was in no place to run someone else's campaign." "And I don't believe in Ben the way that I believe in you." "But I shouldn't have lied." "No." "I have had enough of that in my life." "Too much." "Alison..." "Please, leave." "Dara Martin was born in Somerville," "April 5, 1986." "The only child of John and Brigid." "She lived a pretty normal life until she lost her mother in a car accident, then..." "Obviously, her father disappeared a few years later." "Where is she now?" "No record of her after 2003." "Shejustvanished." "BRADY:" "Isthereadeathcertificate?" "LINDA:" "No." "Maybeshechangedher identity andbecamesomeoneelse." "Dara's last known address, from early 2003." "(sighs)" "Look familiar?" "BRADY:" "That'sRamonaCanby'saddress." "RamonaknewDara and her father?" "So she must have taken Dara in just after her father disappeared." "LINDA:" "And Dara killed her whenwegottoo close." "Because Dara Martin is the accomplice." "Which means SBK murdered all these people with his own daughter." "(sighs) She's someone smart." "Savvy enough to create a whole new identity." "We know she was atMitchell'sfuneral." "LINDA:" "Mmm." "Andweknowthat she got into Madeline's purse, into the house on her own." "Thisissomeone theHawthornesknow." "(door closes)" "I told you to leave." "I'm sorry, Alison." "But I can't do that."
