"It's bad!" "We've got to get Lukas out of here." "Brett!" "Brett!" "He's dead." "I think I killed him." "Hey." "Hey." "How long you been awake?" "Not long." "Liar." "Alarm's not going off for another 10 minutes." "Mm." "Well, then, in that case," "I say we kill the alarm and sleep in." "I got to work." "Yeah." "Only half-day." "Daddy/daughter dance?" "Dana only told me 15 times yesterday." "So..." "Take the whole day." "Come on." "We'll get the kids off to school, and then, uh, you and I can spend some time together." "Hmm?" "I know what you're trying to do, sweetie." "I'm just trying to spend some quality time with my husband." "You're trying to keep my mind off of what today is." "Honey, today is just a day..." "Like any other day." "No, it's not, Sarah." "A year ago today, I shot that man." "I know." "But, honey, you did what you had to do." "And I thought we'd moved past all this." "I have." "Fresh start." "We leave Chicago behind, right?" "Right." "Nick." "Honey, don't do this." "I'm fine." "I'm fine." "I promise." "You'll be fine." "Just gonna take you a while to heal." "You want to tell me what happened out there?" "Uh, a hunter was out poaching." "We didn't see him till it was too late." "And how much did he see?" "Nothing." "When he started shooting, we took off." "The woods were too dark." "He couldn't catch us." "Hard to imagine you running with a bullet in your leg." "Must've been the adrenaline." "Do you realize the kind of danger you could have put us all in?" "We know it was stupid." "And since when do you run with these two?" "I just..." "I've had a lot of pent-up energy lately." "Running helps me." "You want to blow off some steam?" "Be at practice this afternoon." "Wait, I'm off suspension?" "We'll see." "You want back on the team so bad, you better show me some of that energy you've got so much of." "I will." "I swear." "Now, you two get to school." "I'll take Lukas home." "You sure you told me everything that happened out there?" "I'm sure." "Do you think he knew we were lying?" "Lukas will stick to the story." "Just don't freak out, okay?" "What am I supposed to do?" "I killed that guy, Lexie." "I killed him, and we just left him there." "You didn't have a choice!" "It was awful, but it was an accident." "Morning." "Good morning." "I'm thinking of cooking something special for dinner." "So, what are you in the mood for?" "You." "Definitely on the menu." "Yeah?" "Yeah." "This is why I'm late for work." "Sorry." "Oh, no, no, no." "I can't, uh..." "I can't do dinner tonight." "Why?" "Chief's leaving early for the daddy/daughter dance." "I got to cover for him." "Daddy/daughter." "Sounds cute." "Dinner tomorrow night?" "I don't know." "I might be persuaded." "Hey, uh, what time are you home?" "You, uh, want to grab some dinner before the dance?" "Don't you have work?" "I'm leaving early." "This dance only happens once a year, you know?" "Thank God." "You know, I still can't believe we're actually going." "Well, why wouldn't we?" "Maybe because I'm not 12 anymore." "I mean, seriously, dad, don't you think I'm a little old for this?" "Does that mean that I'm too old?" "Are you saying that I'm old?" "Well, duh." "You're a dad, so..." "Right, and you're my daughter, which makes us perfect candidates for the dance." "Fine." "Just, uh..." "Try not to embarrass me?" "No promises." "Good morning, sweetie." "Where's Charlie?" "Left for school early." "Probably to see his girlfriend." "Ohh, Charlie has a girlfriend?" "Will not discuss." "We're leaving for the dance at 6:00 P.M. sharp." "You can't be late." "I won't be late." "'Cause Emily and her dad are gonna be here at 6:00." "They are?" "Yeah." "The girls wanted to go to the dance together, and Emily is gonna stay over after, so..." "Hey, we don't want to be late." "Have a good day." "Love you." "Love you." "I'm really going to the dance with Dylan Radcliff?" "Yes." "I don't understand why you two don't get along." "I don't know." "I can't explain it." "My gut just says something's off with the guy." "Well, Dylan and Claire are perfectly good people, and Dana and Emily are friends, so I think you can play nice for a few hours." "Talk to you later." "Don't forget that you and Emily need to be at the Monohans' at 6:00." "I still don't see why we're carpooling." "Because Emily wants to, and it wouldn't be such a terrible idea for you to spend some time with Nick." "Well, I don't know what we're gonna talk about." "I don't think I'm currently a suspect in any of his cases." "The day is young." "Ha ha." "I brushed my teeth." "Good girl." "Let's go." "Thanks for doing this." "You're a sport." "You owe me." "Bye." "Before you, madam." "Hello, Christian." "Hey, Claire." "How are you?" "Good." "I'm good." "Good." "So, uh, have you decided about tonight?" "I'm just not sure, Christian." "Every time we go out," "I feel like I'm taking such a risk." "You said Dylan was busy tonight." "He'll never even know you're gone." "Hey." "Hey." "What's going on?" "Nothing." "It's slow." "There's got to be something." "Uh, okay." "Well, there's this." "Um, only phone call we got all morning." "Amy Patterson... she lives outside The Gates." "Her husband, Stan, likes to go hunting in the woods around here." "She says last night they got into a fight, he got drunk, took off with his rifle." "She woke up this morning, and he still wasn't back." "Why not call Franklin P.D.?" "Because Buckley actually bought most of the land around The Gates." "Said wanted a buffer zone, whatever that means." "Technically, the woods are still part of our jurisdiction." "All right." "Well, let's get some deputies together." "We'll take out a search party." "Honestly, sir, Stan does this kind of stuff all the time." "He'll turn up once he's slept it off." "Or Stan shot himself in the foot and he's lying out there bleeding to death." "Honestly, sir, if you knew Stan..." "I'll gather the troops." "Hey." "You're here early." "Thought we could hang out before class." "Well, it has been almost 12 hours since we last saw each other, so..." "Seems longer." "You want to take a walk or something?" "Or something." "No, no." "Come on in." "Here?" "Are you serious?" "Yeah, I guess you are serious." "Ugh." "I have algebra." "See you at lunch?" "Yeah." "Yeah, you bet." "Aah!" "How long before you fainted did you start feeling dizzy?" "He's never fainted before." "Can we stop saying I fainted?" "What were you doing right before you started feeling dizzy?" "Nothing." "Just hanging out with Andie." "Andie Bates?" "Yeah." "Oh, and have you two been hanging out a lot lately?" "I..." "I guess." "Who's "Andy"?" "Have I met him?" "And by "hanging out,"" "you wouldn't mean "making out," would you?" "Okay." "Andie's a girl, mom." "Just..." "She's just a friend." "Maybe a little more than a friend." "How much more?" "Mom, no." "Well, Charlie, from your symptoms," "I think you have what we called in my day "the kissing disease."" "Okay, mono?" "So she gave him mono?" "Well, I'll have her checked out." "But until I get Charlie's bloodwork back," "I want him home resting." "No school, no Andie, and definitely no kissing." "So..." "Stan Patterson's wife said her husband left the house at approximately 11:00 p.m. last night, armed with a hunting rifle." "Let's get ready to move out." "We have a lot of ground to cover." "Chief, I know you got way better stuff to do than go tromping around out there in the woods with us, man." "I'm gonna go along." "Okay." "Um... everything all right?" "Yeah." "What do you mean?" "It just seems like something's bothering you." "No, I'm sorry." "I, uh..." "lot on my mind." "Come on." "And then Mia said Ketsia told her that Lauren saw you faint right in the middle of class, so call me 'cause, uh, I'm really worried." "Brett!" "Hey." "So you're off suspension." "It's just practice." "Coach hasn't decided if he's gonna let me play yet." "He will." "The team needs you." "Yeah, well, we'll see." "So, uh, how have you been?" "Does it matter?" "We're broken up, remember?" "Brett." "Don't be like this." "I want us to be friends." "I don't need any more friends, Andie." "I guess not." "Since when are you suddenly hanging out with her?" "And Lukas." "I thought you couldn't stand the guy, and now you're all bff?" "Yeah, well, people change." "There are cops in the woods looking for the hunter." "We dragged Lukas out of there so fast," "I don't even remember if everyone had time to grab all their clothes or not." "Okay." "O-okay, I'll deal with it." "Here." "Take this stuff." "What are you going to do?" "I've got to get to the body before they do and hide it." "Andie told me that she..." "she broke up with Brett, but she didn't say anything about seeing this kid Charlie." "A teenage girl not talking to her father about her love life?" "This has to be a first." "Yeah." "I know." "I know." "It's just happening so fast, you know?" "So, is he gonna be okay?" "Well, Andie's succubus side hasn't fully matured, but it's only a matter of time now, Thomas." "I mean, you have to tell her about her mother, her condition, before Charlie or some other boy gets seriously hurt." "I know." "She's 15." "Thomas, I know this is hard." "Do you want me to be there?" "No, no." "I..." "I can do this myself." "It's not like I haven't rehearsed what I'm gonna say over and over in my head." "Okay, so you'll talk to Andie today after school." "No." "Tomorrow." "Thomas." "Well, tonight's the dance." "I barely got her to go as it is." "Look, I know it's selfish, but I don't care." "I want one more dance." "I want one more night with my little girl..." "While she still is my little girl." "Hello." "I was just heading out to deliver these dresses." "The seamstress should be done with your daughters' outfits in just a few minutes." "Oh, thank you so much, Barbara." "I'm really sorry about the short notice, but it has been a crazy, crazy day." "Oh, no problem." "She had to come into the shop anyway." "We got backed up when Ellen dropped off some dresses to be let out... two whole sizes." "Someone hasn't been watching their carbs." "Dana's dress will be waiting for you." "She is going to be so lovely at the dance." "Thank you." "I take it Ellen and Barbara don't get along?" "No, that's just Barbara." "She knows everything that goes on inside The Gates." "Good to know." "What do you hunt down here anyway?" "Uh, deer, mostly." "Occasional rabbit." "You got cameras out here?" "Never needed any." "Only people who come out here are hunters." "I wouldn't be so sure about that." "Come on." "Let's try back there." "What about this place over there?" "Oh, Chief." "Looks like we got blood." "Yeah." "Here too." "Call Franklin." "Get the C.S.U. guys down here." "Let them know we've got a possible crime scene." "Yeah." "Dispatch, you got your ears on?" "Do me a favor... call up Franklin, tell them that we need a C.S.U." "lab sent over the results on that blood you found." "It's human." "Everything else we're still working on." "All right, start calling around local hospitals, see if they admitted any John does." "If Stan is unconscious, maybe they haven't I.D.'D him yet." "Okay." "By the way, coach Ross is in your office." "Okay." "Coach." "Hey, thanks for coming in." "I hope this isn't about one of my players." "Well, it might be." "A few weeks ago, one of our surveillance cameras picked up a kid in a letterman's jacket outside the fence." "And then today, I found a gates academy t-shirt in the woods." "Just wondering if you knew anything about any of your players going out there at night?" "They don't mess around out there." "You sure?" "I got a missing hunter, and I'm thinking maybe one of your kids might have seen something." "I doubt it, but I'll be happy to ask around." "I appreciate that." "Hi, Sarah." "Hey." "How you doing?" "Yeah, I'm okay." "What's up?" "I just wanted to make sure you remembered to pick up Dana's corsage." "Uh, honey, of course I remembered." "I got it right here." "Okay." "Okay." "I love you." "You're sure it was the right place?" "I'm telling you... he's gone." "Dead people don't just get up and walk away." "Maybe he wasn't dead." "Maybe I didn't kill him after all." "Then where is he?" "And what if he saw us?" "What if he saw us transform and tells people?" "He'll sound crazy." "No one will believe him." "But coach will, and if he finds out we were lying, he could get us kicked out of The Gates." "I was, uh, actually just on my way to find you." "The, um, flower shop was closing and I saw you hadn't picked up Dana's corsage yet, so..." "It's been one of those days." "Sarah would have killed me if I came home without this." "Yeah, I barely made it under the wire myself." "Dana's looking forward to tonight." "Yeah, so is Emily." "Yeah." "Well, uh, look, we'll, um, we'll probably pick you up 'round about 6:00." "Thanks." "You get the sense that our wives are setting us up?" "Well, at least it will give us something to talk about... how to plot our revenge." "Yeah." "Thanks again." "All right." "Hey." "Uh, Patterson's at county medical." "In the morgue." "Ahh." "A guy walking his dog found his body at the edge of Franklin park." "All right." "Come in, sit down." "What was the cause of death?" "We're still waiting on the autopsy, but the coroner says some kind of animal attack." "Well, if Stan was attacked outside The Gates, how the hell does he end up in Franklin park, which is almost 10 miles away?" "I don't know." "Coroner says he was torn up pretty bad." "Would have at least been a blood trail." "C.S.U. combed that whole area." "Only blood was what we found." "No, something's not right." "Lab come up with anything on the blood we found on the leaves?" "Not yet." "All right, call them." "Push." "I don't think Stan was the only one out there last night." "Mom, this is ridiculous." "Hey, you're not even supposed to be having visitors, you know." "Although, if Andie hasn't caught it by now, I'm sure... mom!" "Okay." "But I'm keeping my eye on you two." "Sorry about that." "No, no." "She seems really nice." "Uh, here." "I went a little heavy on the chick flicks, but they're my favorites." ""Secrets of my heart."" "Oh, and you hate them, don't you?" "No, no, they're great." "Thanks." "And for coming over." "You're feeling okay, right?" "Yeah." "Peg gave me a clean bill of health." "I am 100% mono-free." "Got to say, you don't look sick." "You look great." "You know, I feel great." "Lately, I've been feeling better than great." "Must be the company you're keeping." "Maybe." "Though, uh, it's too bad you have mono, or I'd show you exactly how good I'm feeling." "How long does mono last, again?" "Yeah, well, uh, I got to get home and get changed anyway." "Can't be late for the big dance." "Yeah." "Come by after?" "I don't know." "Could be a rager." " Hey." " Hey." "You'd think I'd be able to figure this out by now." " Here, I can help." " No, I got it." "I can do it." " I got it." " Nick!" "Nick, let me do it." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "Come on, you have a beautiful daughter waiting for you downstairs who is so excited about tonight." "I know." "I know." "I..." "I'm not gonna ruin her night." "Oh, it's your night, too." "Look, stop beating yourself up over the past and go and enjoy the night." "Okay?" "You deserve it." "No." "I'm not so sure that I do." "W... what do you mean?" "I shot him." "Honey, I know." "I know." "And I know that I will never understand what that must have been like." "I told I.A. I thought he had a gun, but I knew he didn't." "I said it was self-defense, but..." "It wasn't." "I lied to the department." "Sarah..." "I lied to you." "Wolcott was gonna walk." "D.A. couldn't make a case." "He raped those women." "He killed that girl, and he was gonna walk." "And I knew it." "And he knew it." "And I kept thinking about those women, and..." "And what if it were you?" "Or Dana?" "I killed him." "I killed him." "He was a monster." "And now I don't know if I'm any different." "We're gonna figure this out, okay?" "Right now, you ju... you just need to go downstairs and take your daughter to the dance, okay?" "Mm-hmm." "Hey." "We'll talk when you get back." "Dad!" "Hurry up!" "They're here!" "Okay?" "Come on." "Hey." "Dirty, two olives." "It's been a long time since I've had a proper Martini." "Mm." "The perils of suburban life, huh?" "Glad you came." "Well, I nearly turned around twice." "But..." "Here you are." "It's good to see you." "I know it's wrong, but when I am with you, Christian..." "I feel like my old self again." "Yeah, I liked the old Claire." "Yeah." "I did, too." "Hey, sweetie." "Hey." "Um, listen, I just wanted to call and tell you" "I'm gonna be even later than I thought." "No problem." "We'll just meet up after the dance." "I think it is so great you volunteered to take pictures for them." "Seriously." "It... it's awesome." "Give everybody a chance to see how talented you are." "You are so sweet." "And so patient." "I know that it's taken me too long to find my own place." "You can stay with me as long as you want, okay?" "You know that." "In case you didn't notice, I kinda like having you around." "Yeah, I noticed." "Thank you, Marcus." "For what?" "For helping me." "For caring." "This last year's been..." "It's been pretty rough, and, um..." "Well, you're the best thing that's happened to me in a long time." "I just... wanted to tell you that." "Everything okay?" "Yeah, yeah." "Everything's fine." "I..." "I just..." "I've got to get ready, so, um, be safe, and I'll see you soon." "Yeah." "Okay." "I'll see you later." "Okay." "All right." "Bye." "Oh, I never smoke." "Ah." "Well, sometimes after a few drinks." "You're gonna join me, aren't you?" "You are such a bad influence." "That's what they say." "Barbara!" "How funny running into you here." "And I see you've met Christian." "Uh, you know each other?" "Oh, yes." "And you two know each other?" "Yes." "We both live in The Gates." "I had no idea you ventured out this way." "I guess with Dylan and Emily at the dance..." "It's a perfect opportunity to come out and catch up with an old friend." "Mm." "Hmm." "Well, I better be going." "It was nice to meet you, Christian." "So good to meet you, too." "And, Claire..." "I'm sure I'll see you soon." "Take care." "Who exactly was that?" "Just the worst possible person that I could have run into." "How long did you say you and Claire lived in The Gates?" "Um, about six years now." "We moved here right after we adopted Emily." "Oh." "Can't think of a better place to raise a family." "Is that what brought you here?" "Well, I've been a cop 15 years, and I have seen things that no father should see." "You know, you want to protect your children, but at the end of the day, sometimes it's just you against the world." "You know, I remember when Emily was only a few months old." "I woke up one night, and I thought I heard her on the baby monitor." "I went into her room, and she was just sleeping." "And, uh, yeah." "I stood there, and in that moment," "I knew there was nothing I wouldn't do, nothing I wouldn't give up, to keep that little girl safe." "We made an offer on the house the next day." "Kids change you." "That's true." " You okay?" " Yeah." "Lab results." "We found some wolves' blood in the woods earlier." "That's weird." "Probably not many wolves in Chicago." "Different kind of wolves." "Look, Dylan, I, uh, I just want to say," "I..." "I know we haven't exactly gotten off on the right foot." "Oh, you think?" "You were just doing your job." "Yeah, well, sometimes I overdo it." "Clearly, I was..." "I was wrong about you." "Well, I appreciate that." "I think The Gates are lucky to have you." "You're a good cop." "You have good instincts." "Yeah, well, sometimes the instincts that make me a good cop don't make me such a great friend." " Come on, let's go." " Well, you know what?" "Maybe it will be different here." "I have some young ladies here who would like pictures with their handsome fathers." " How about it?" " Yeah, yeah." "Okay." "All right." "Okay, big smiles." "Very cute." "The victim of a vicious animal attack." "Now, the police have identified the body as Stan Patterson." "With his rifle found nearby, police suspect that Mr. Patterson was hunting near Franklin park when he was mauled by what the coroner believes was a large wolf." "Coach?" "Hey." "Look, I know I missed practice this afternoon." "I'm sorry." "Is your mother here?" "She's working late." "What's wrong?" "What's wrong is that you're an idiot." "You think I didn't know you lied to me about that poacher?" "I don't understand." "They found that guy in Franklin park." "And how do you think he got there?" "After you left this morning," "I went out to the woods and found his body right where you left him, out in the open for just anybody to stumble across." "And I could smell you all over him." "You killed that man and didn't even have the smarts enough to clean up after yourself." "It was a mistake." "He shot Lukas." "You could have exposed us all!" "The rules are in place for a reason!" "I'm Pack Beta." "I should report you to the council." "And if it wasn't for your mother, I would." "I'm sorry." "It's too late for that." "You're off the team." "Permanently." "But, coach..." "If you want to destroy your life, fine." "But you're not taking the Pack down with you." "Looks like I'm not the only dad with excellent powers of persuasion, huh?" "We're all here under a "one dance only" protest." "Well, you're beautiful anyway." "You have to say that." "No, no, I could have carefully skirted the issue." "Just happens to be true." "Every year you remind me more and more of your mother." "She'd be so proud of you." "For coming to the dance?" "For everything." "I miss her too, dad." "Did you see the look on her face?" "By this time tomorrow, every single woman in The Gates is gonna know that I was out with you." "How much longer until Dylan finds out that I've been lying to him?" "It's not too late." "I could take care of it." "No!" "Christian, this isn't some anonymous kill." "I know this woman!" "I can't keep doing this." "You could always leave Dylan." "What?" "No." "I..." "I love Dylan." "He's forcing you to lead this double life." "You're lying, and you're scared." "And it's all because your own husband refuses to accept who you truly are." "That's not love." "Love is about compromise." "You make it seem like I have some terrible life." "Well, I don't." "I am happy." "The dance is almost over." "I need to get home." "Andie?" "Hey." "I'm going out for a bit." "One of my friends has mono." "Doesn't that suck?" "Andie, we need to talk." "Can it wait until tomorrow?" "No." "I guess it can't." "Dad, what's wrong?" "See, I..." "I need to tell you something." "It's about your mother." "She was a very special woman." "And she had these abilities." "Hey." "Been looking for you." "Did you hear where they found the poacher?" "We're in the clear." "Where is everyone?" "Keeping it low." "I think we've all had enough excitement for a while." "Come on." "Bunch of us are going over to Lukas' for a movie." "I'm going running." "No one runs until Lukas is better." " Says who?" " Lukas is Alpha." "We don't go without him." "That's the rule." "Well, I'm done with the rules." "Brett, what's wrong?" "What's wrong?" "Patterson is dead." "I should have stopped, but I didn't, and now I've ruined everything." "He would've killed Lukas!" "He would've killed all of us!" "You know that better than anyone!" "Please, Brett." "Come with me." "I'm sorry." "I can't." " Hey." " Hey." "Everything okay?" "Yeah, yeah." "Dana's having a great time." "Wanted to see how you were." "I'm okay." "Look, honey..." "I know I should have told you months ago." "I was afraid if you knew who I was and what I was capable of," "you couldn't stay with me." "Nick, I've always known who you really are." "Baby, you are a good father, and a good husband, and a good, honorable man." "We're gonna move past this." "I promise." "You know how much I love you?" "You know how much I love you?" "I'll see you in a bit." "Okay." "Hey, Chief." "Hey." "You can call me Nick." "Okay." "Thanks for taking the photos." "Yeah, happy to do it." "Everyone here has just been so kind." "It's my little way of giving back." "You gonna take off?" "Yeah, oh, but, uh, Marcus wanted me to snag you." "He's coming by to pick me up, and he had a quick question." "He said it would just take a second." " All right, let's go." " Okay." "Did he say what time he'd be here?" "Whoa, Teresa!" "My name isn't Teresa." "It's Amanda." "Amanda Wolcott." "Oh, you remember the name." "That was my brother you murdered." "Into the woods." " Okay." " Into the woods now!" "Wayne didn't try to shoot you." "He didn't even own a gun." "You lied to everyone, and you thought you could get away with it." "What have you done with Marcus?" "Nothing." "I just..." "I used him to get inside The Gates, to get access to you, to your family." "You leave my family alone." "I had actually planned to kill them first." "Your son... and your daughter, your wife." "One by one, I was gonna strip you of your family like you stripped me of mine." "The dance was just a perfect opportunity to catch you off-guard." "And unarmed." "But as you die, know that I'm going back inside for your daughter." "No." "No." "This ends here with me." "Aah!" "What did you... what did you do to her?" "Put the gun down and I'll explain." "Put the gun down." "Nick, we don't have time for this." "Emily and Dana, they're gonna come looking for us soon." "You have to go inside, get our daughters, and bring them to your house." "What are you?" "I will take care of Teresa's body, okay?" "No one ever needs to know about this." "What are you?" "You know exactly what I am."
