00:00:06You
00:00:07Something terrible happened last summer
00:00:09You didn't come to the hospital or call. Why did you forbid everyone from talking to me about my own
00:00:15fucking life?
00:00:16You are doing this to yourself Katie. It is your own broken brain. That is the enemy you are raging
00:00:22against
00:00:27You're leaving don't open it until your birthday next week. Okay, you know
00:00:31I thought you might just reinstate the no boyfriends on Beachwood rule. Cadence will be just fine
00:00:36You never liked them. Did you Gat and Ed are you saying I'm racist? Watch yourself or you get hurt.
00:00:43I
00:00:43Believe in who we are who we have been for centuries. He's too far gone. Look he's been revising his
00:00:49will
00:00:49I think he plans to leave all of it to one favored daughter or grandchild
00:00:54What if we made a mess so big only a Sinclair could clean it up?
00:00:58What if all the petty material things that tore our family apart were just gone?
00:01:03We could tear it down teach Harris and the moms the ultimate lesson. I remember it now
00:01:08We burnt this place to the ground
00:01:18If you want to live where people aren't afraid of mice you must give up living in palaces
00:01:27Or maybe just maybe you burn the fucking palace to the ground
00:01:33Could you imagine the most faces guys? I mean it
00:01:41Claremont's just a pile of trophies trophies one with a bullshit unfair advantage. Yeah, it's basically the seat of the
00:01:48patriarchy
00:01:49Yeah, with Harris at the head of the table, right? So if it was all gone, we'd have to start
00:01:54over
00:01:55Maybe they'd stop
00:01:57Maybe we'd be a family and
00:02:00It'd be like a purification
00:02:03I mean things can't get any worse, right?
00:02:06God
00:02:07This is usually where you chime in as a voice of reason
00:02:11It's the Sinclair house. I don't get a say
00:02:13Oh well, you guys know I'm not even gonna be welcome here anymore. Well, that's exactly why we have to
00:02:18do something
00:02:18They're tearing each other apart and us along with them
00:02:22Look they need to learn
00:02:24They'll punish us and send us to some boarding school in the swiss alps. No, we
00:02:29are so sorry that we overflow the dishwasher and we swipe the good whiskey then we made s'mores and
00:02:39Watched movies at cuddle down. We watched Ferris Bueller and six cents for Johnny and then we fell asleep and
00:02:46And we smelled the smoke too late and they wouldn't believe us, but it wouldn't matter because people might talk
00:02:52Right, yes, they would ask questions like how did the Sinclair girls screw up their kids so bad that they
00:03:00burned their house down?
00:03:02Okay, it's a genius plan, but we don't know how to do arson
00:03:04Okay, well, we'll divide and conquer. I mean, there's plenty of fuel in the boat house
00:03:14We have to be thorough. I'll do the downstairs
00:03:17I'll do the east wing. Fuck yeah, Mirren
00:03:20You just want to see your mom's old room burn you fucking pyro
00:03:24Okay, I'll cover the attic
00:03:25We work from the top down
00:03:28Gas it up light the match and get the fuck out
00:03:32And me
00:03:35The boat is docked at windermere, right?
00:03:38Bring the boat around and you can be our getaway driver. It'll be perfect. I don't drive the boat. You
00:03:42know that
00:03:43Yeah, what look you'll be able to say
00:03:46You didn't see the fire start and you got us all to safety and it won't even be a lie
00:03:51And once the things inside are gone their power will be gone
00:03:55And harris will have to give you a big heroes welcome back next summer
00:03:59Ed too, even we can fix this. I
00:04:03Fuck it. I want to help
00:04:08It's a big house. We needed a spread fast before the fire department can get to us
00:04:12After I help with the arsenal, I'll get the boat over
00:04:15No gas in the main staircase, okay? We need to stay play out
00:04:17And then when the grandfather clock strikes 12, we like the match
00:04:21When we run like hell, no matter what no matter fucking what we run
00:04:28Life's forever, right?
00:04:29Life's forever
00:04:30Life's forever
00:04:31Life's forever
00:04:49Life's forever
00:04:50Life's forever, right?
00:04:54Life's forever, right?
00:04:55Life's forever, right?
00:04:55Life's forever, right?
00:05:08Life's forever, right?
00:05:14I can't believe we did it.
00:05:16The moms haven't been fighting, and Gat was invited back.
00:05:21It worked.
00:05:22I mean, it-
00:05:23Mir, she remembers the fire is all.
00:05:25Yeah.
00:05:33Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:05:35I'm missing something.
00:05:38This still doesn't explain how I ended up in the water.
00:05:45Come on, we should go get Gat.
00:05:48All right?
00:05:49That'll be better.
00:05:57Come on, Katie.
00:06:01She's gonna remember the rest.
00:06:03Soon.
00:06:04She's starting to piece everything together.
00:06:08I think I get it.
00:06:10Did we swim off the boat after the fire to celebrate?
00:06:12I hit my head, and you couldn't find me, right?
00:06:15You were scared.
00:06:16We were drunk.
00:06:17We just committed a felony, so you left.
00:06:19No.
00:06:19No.
00:06:20No.
00:06:20I understand.
00:06:21I do.
00:06:23I needed you to be invited back, Gat.
00:06:25And here you are, so it's worth it to me.
00:06:27Katie, stop.
00:06:28We don't know how you got in the water.
00:06:30Okay, well-
00:06:30We told you the truth about that.
00:06:32Well, you know something that I don't-
00:06:33Just a little bit.
00:06:35And it's not like we can just straight up tell you.
00:06:37Every time people do, you just-
00:06:40Yeah, and then you forget anyways.
00:06:42Katie, we really want to help you.
00:06:44We do.
00:06:44It's just that that's not-
00:06:45It's like every time that I get close to the truth,
00:06:48this pain dragon crawls into my brain,
00:06:51and it shuts me down.
00:06:53But when we're just liars being liars,
00:06:55the dragon gets distracted.
00:07:00I have an idea.
00:07:05Alright, ready?
00:07:07Hmm?
00:07:07Just a familiar, non-triggering, peaceful activity.
00:07:11Choose your words carefully.
00:07:13I prefer dirty word scrabble to trigger trauma scrabble.
00:07:16Don't wake the dragon.
00:07:18Who's first?
00:07:31Put the needle with your eyes, your eyes.
00:07:41You keep a secret with your forced smile.
00:07:50Cheers.
00:07:52Molotov cocktails from a summer of the Sinclair sisters empties.
00:07:57Poetic.
00:07:58Kind of.
00:08:00I'll see you in a better world.
00:08:03I remember.
00:08:05You and I, in the kitchen.
00:08:08Right?
00:08:11See you in a better world.
00:08:16Okay.
00:08:17We got this.
00:08:18Hey.
00:08:18Hey!
00:08:20Alright.
00:08:22No, no, no, no.
00:08:24Uh...
00:08:25Here's the gas.
00:08:26Thought it'd be easier to carry upstairs than the big red one.
00:08:29Genius.
00:08:31Midnight, yeah?
00:08:32Today, bro.
00:08:36It's ironic, isn't it, huh?
00:08:38The Boston Sentinel.
00:08:40The paper that started the Sinclair publishing empire.
00:08:44The thing that paid for this house is what will burn it down.
00:08:53And I know I spelled it right this time.
00:08:56So...
00:08:56Redemption, or whatever.
00:09:03The plan was for you to start in the attic, right?
00:09:06Yeah.
00:09:09A lot of memories up there.
00:09:21I was so excited to torch my mother's childhood bedroom.
00:09:25She was the worst of them all.
00:09:27Chasing the money, coming for her sisters with the claws out.
00:09:31Honestly, that's the only reason why I agreed to the plan at all.
00:09:34I bet it felt good.
00:09:36It was just a guest bedroom.
00:09:38It's not like Grant kept a shrine to her teen magazines or expired nail polishes.
00:09:43Maybe she never even had that kind of mask.
00:09:45Maybe she was just always toxic positivity.
00:09:48Perfection.
00:09:50Anyways, Katie, I don't...
00:09:51Is this really even helping you at home right now?
00:09:53Yes.
00:09:53I think so.
00:09:57I remember some of it.
00:10:00The smell.
00:10:01I felt...
00:10:03High off of it.
00:10:07The gasoline.
00:10:10The adrenaline.
00:10:19I felt like a revolutionary.
00:10:26I tried talking to my mom, to Harris, but they didn't listen.
00:10:30So they deserved this.
00:10:32For not seeing Gat or Ed or anyone but Sinclair's.
00:10:46I had fallen in love with someone Harris Sinclair deemed unworthy.
00:10:50And I needed to cleanse his hate.
00:11:02I believed in my soul that if we tore it down, we'd be able to rebuild.
00:11:07A fresh start for all of us.
00:11:09No.
00:11:14No.
00:11:21I was a man.
00:11:24I didn't, I don't know.
00:11:29No.
00:11:31No.
00:11:34No.
00:11:36Good night.
00:12:07Smoke really stings, doesn't it?
00:12:19And I never realize...
00:12:23how loud fire can be.
00:12:44The dogs.
00:12:47No! No!
00:12:49I'm coming! I'm coming!
00:12:50My mom had given them their anxiety pills
00:12:53so they'd be quiet during dinner.
00:12:55No!
00:12:56No!
00:12:57No!
00:13:01No, no, no.
00:13:07Come on!
00:13:10No.
00:13:12Not at all.
00:13:13No.
00:13:16No!
00:13:18No!
00:13:23No!
00:13:25No!
00:13:26No!
00:13:30No!
00:13:32No! No, Hank!
00:14:03No! No, Hank!
00:14:32No!
00:14:34No!
00:14:51Once upon a time, a princess thought she could rid her kingdom of its ugliness.
00:14:55Drunk on spirits and folly, she roared in on her dragon and unleashed hell and fire.
00:15:03In her arrogance, she forgot the most important lesson of all.
00:15:07Revolution is bloody, and too often, it's the innocent who fall.
00:15:18Oh!
00:15:19There you go.
00:15:22Give me that.
00:15:24Oh, give me that.
00:15:25Oh, give me that.
00:15:28Grandad.
00:15:28Oh.
00:15:31Oh, Caden's the first.
00:15:33Come, sit.
00:15:38We didn't do the annual Sandcastle contest this year, did we?
00:15:42Someone had to have reminded me.
00:15:46I just wanted to say I'm...
00:15:50I'm sorry.
00:15:54You've collected yourself, then, your memories.
00:16:01Well, I do miss them.
00:16:05But strange moments.
00:16:09Inconvenient ones always, it seems.
00:16:12And don't be sorry.
00:16:16You were heroic.
00:16:19A fine example.
00:16:21It's just that...
00:16:22...faulty wiring to blame, and that...
00:16:27...that gaspane.
00:16:29Hey.
00:16:32What do you think...
00:16:34...about me and the liars coming to New Claremont to have dinner with you tonight?
00:16:40All of us, I mean.
00:16:43Gat, too.
00:16:44I think it's important he knows he's welcome now.
00:16:51No.
00:16:59Your 18th birthday's coming.
00:17:06Yep.
00:17:07Three days.
00:17:09Yeah, time.
00:17:11Hard to keep track of in the summer, isn't it?
00:17:16Yeah.
00:17:18I've, um...
00:17:19I've been hanging on to these.
00:17:23I'd rather not.
00:17:24Oh, no, it's your birthday gift.
00:17:26You just open it...
00:17:29...when you're ready.
00:17:31Thanks.
00:17:46...
00:18:10Stay looking.
00:18:13Hi.
00:18:26What are you doing out here?
00:18:27Hey, we saw you talking to Harris.
00:18:28We thought we should check on you.
00:18:32I think he knows something.
00:18:37Or everything.
00:18:39And he gave me these.
00:18:41The family noose of love.
00:18:43How did those even survive the fire?
00:18:46Katie?
00:18:50We tried to warn you.
00:18:52Okay, these aren't happy memories.
00:18:54No.
00:18:55Bet you're missing your amnesia right about now.
00:18:57No!
00:18:58I need to know.
00:19:00Where were you when they found me on the beach?
00:19:02And why didn't you call?
00:19:04Why didn't any of you call?
00:19:11Hey, Katie?
00:19:13You're okay.
00:19:14Katie, Katie, you need to calm down.
00:19:16I'm in case you can find me.
00:19:18Katie, where's the story?
00:19:20No!
00:19:21No!
00:19:30I'm strong enough to know my own story.
00:19:40Please.
00:19:50Okay.
00:19:53Yes.
00:19:59The plan was to meet at midnight.
00:20:02I was there at 11.56. I was ready.
00:20:09I was ready, too.
00:20:10I was about to light up my mom's old bedroom.
00:20:14And then I found something.
00:20:33My mom tried. I don't know why she couldn't just say sorry, but at least she was trying.
00:20:41I suddenly felt so guilty.
00:20:44But we had a plan.
00:20:46Light a match and get out.
00:21:11I admit, I got a little distracted.
00:21:38I almost didn't hear the clock, but I did. I heard it in time.
00:21:44I didn't even light up the mess that I made. I just... I got the hell out of there.
00:21:53But the smoke rose up the turret so fast.
00:22:03The clock struck 12. The fire had started.
00:22:06You were supposed to come out, light the match, and get out.
00:22:16Fuck.
00:22:17Fuck.
00:22:18Fuck.
00:22:20Fuck.
00:22:23Fuck.
00:22:23Fuck.
00:22:24Fuck.
00:22:24Fuck.
00:22:24Fuck.
00:22:26Fuck.
00:22:27Fuck.
00:22:29Fuck.
00:22:32Fuck.
00:22:59There was so much fire.
00:23:01Maybe I got turned around, I don't know.
00:23:04Johnny!
00:23:08I couldn't wait.
00:23:09I had to chase you, Cadence.
00:23:18I searched everywhere.
00:23:20I guess I searched too long.
00:23:27It was the newspapers, maybe.
00:23:30Too much kindling.
00:23:32Johnny!
00:23:34Johnny!
00:23:36Too much accelerant.
00:23:42We didn't even think about the gas line.
00:24:10We all made mistakes, and there were consequences.
00:24:16Turns out we really didn't know how to do arson.
00:24:22Johnny!
00:24:28Yes!
00:24:32Yes!
00:24:34Yes!
00:24:37Yes!
00:24:38Yes!
00:24:42Yes!
00:24:52Yes!
00:25:02Yes!
00:25:14Yes!
00:25:23Yes!
00:25:23Yes!
00:25:23Yes!
00:25:24Yes!
00:25:27Yes!
00:25:36Yes!
00:25:37Yes!
00:25:38Yes!
00:25:50Yes!
00:25:52Yes!
00:25:53Yes!
00:25:53Get my phone.
00:25:54Mom, just leave it alone, Mom.
00:25:55Please just give it back.
00:25:58Yeah, my parents took my phone.
00:26:00The screens make my migraines worse.
00:26:04Nothing that I find out will change
00:26:06the way I feel about you, Gat.
00:26:17Katie, tell me a ghost story.
00:26:20You're fresh out.
00:26:21Ask Mirren.
00:26:21Hilarious.
00:26:52Haydent?
00:26:57Haydent?
00:26:58Haydent?
00:26:59Haydent?
00:27:04Hey!
00:27:06Hey!
00:27:11Ah!
00:27:12Oh, my God.
00:27:50Don't open it until your birthday next week, okay?
00:28:06Katie, I wore these beads close to my heart all summer.
00:28:10I love you.
00:28:11From Gat.
00:28:28Hey, holdin' up.
00:28:30I feel like my heart is bleeding through my shirt all the time.
00:28:38Well, that is normal.
00:28:41Sadness is always, uh, seeping.
00:28:47And your migraines?
00:28:54Um, I, I think I was taking too many pills.
00:29:00It's been hard not to take them.
00:29:02Um, I think I might need some help not taking them anymore.
00:29:10Thank you for telling me.
00:29:12And I'm gonna call the doctor.
00:29:15And your dad.
00:29:16And we are gonna get you all the help you need in Vermont.
00:29:20Whatever happened to all ailments can be cured by salt air and outdoor exercise?
00:29:28Turns out that law doesn't apply to losing the great loves of your life.
00:29:33Trust me, I, I checked the rulebook over and over.
00:29:42You're not talking about dad, are you?
00:29:46Uh, no.
00:29:49There was someone else.
00:29:52Uh, for a long time.
00:30:00And I still blamed your father for leaving.
00:30:04Because I wouldn't have.
00:30:08It is not what Sinclairs do.
00:30:15I, I hope that you don't hate me for letting you blame him, too.
00:30:25I think I was afraid that if you had the option, you wouldn't choose this.
00:30:31Um, choose, uh, me.
00:30:39You should know that you do have a choice.
00:30:43I know.
00:30:44Being a Sinclair is not easy.
00:30:46But I would imagine not being a Sinclair is much, much harder.
00:30:53But the choice is yours to make.
00:31:08Lie with me and say you love me, too.
00:31:15Even when I wake up, I can feel the last touch.
00:31:19But I just want to feel it all again.
00:31:25Now they feel like memories to me.
00:31:32Say it's real, because I don't want to leave.
00:31:38I don't want to wake up.
00:31:40I just want the last touch.
00:31:42And I want to feel it all again.
00:31:52You're so happy.
00:31:53Yo.
00:31:54Where have you been?
00:31:58Well, a tennis championship.
00:32:00Actually, I won.
00:32:01Yeah, and then, uh, celebrated on the party boat.
00:32:04And then, um, that led to an orgy, which I also won.
00:32:11And yeah, that's where I've been.
00:32:13Hey, I mean it.
00:32:16Where were you before you showed up here just now?
00:32:20Um, sleeping.
00:32:23Kind of.
00:32:25It's like a soft nothing in a way.
00:32:29And then a pull.
00:32:33And then I'm here.
00:32:34I thought I'd never see you again.
00:32:37You thought we might be figments of your fucked up, traumatized, weird imagination?
00:32:42Why would you imagine dickhead version of me who wouldn't say goodbye?
00:32:47Right.
00:32:48Because you've never been a dickhead.
00:32:52No.
00:32:57Look, um...
00:33:00I'm sorry about this summer.
00:33:03I just wanted your memories back.
00:33:06I just feel better and I fought so hard.
00:33:09I didn't want you to remember because I thought that when you did,
00:33:12I might go somewhere that isn't such a soft nothing.
00:33:18You can't believe in hell.
00:33:19I mean, that's just like a made-up threat.
00:33:22There's gotta be some sort of punishment for having everything that I had and doing nothing good with it.
00:33:30I'm sorry I lied.
00:33:31I just...
00:33:33I don't want to burn again.
00:33:40Johnny...
00:33:40If hell is real...
00:33:44I'm fucked too.
00:33:49You are gonna do a million good things with your life, Katie.
00:33:53You feel so bad about that night that you're gonna spend the rest of your life doing amazing things.
00:33:59So amazing that I'll have to build a new tear in heaven for you.
00:34:03Any heaven waiting for me would have you in it.
00:34:08The infinite...

00:34:41You see he's slipping the legendary hair of Sinclair for two nest matching shoes to dinner tonight.
00:34:51I hate it when things are funny and sad at the same time.
00:34:56I know but like you don't have to rub it in like that's offensive. It's rude.
00:35:01128.
00:35:02How?
00:35:03I win.
00:35:04Okay, you didn't have to underline last that many times.
00:35:07But you lost.
00:35:08You wanna play?
00:35:10Maybe later.
00:35:15Hey, you guys okay?
00:35:21It's too quiet here now.
00:35:25Yeah.
00:35:28I'm over Scrabble. I'm gonna swim.
00:35:30Same.
00:35:33Race ya.
00:35:34No fair.
00:35:35I'm winning.
00:35:36Hi Katie.
00:35:36You've got a head start.
00:35:37I'm winning.
00:35:49Wish I'd been a little kinder to them.
00:35:55Littles.
00:35:56They always wanted me to teach them how to braid their hair.
00:36:01Make friendship bracelets.
00:36:09God, I'd never even talk to them unless I had to.
00:36:13Maren.
00:36:16Let me be the one to regret.
00:36:21You should be light as air.
00:36:26You should be a fucking sunbeam.
00:36:30Turns out I suck at being a ghost.
00:36:36I wanted to be excellent at it.
00:36:39I wanted to be excellent at everything.
00:36:41In my art.
00:36:42Sex.
00:36:43Grades.
00:36:45And...
00:36:45At being Bess and Claire's daughter.
00:36:50Maybe that's where it all went wrong.
00:36:52Between us.
00:36:53You know, maybe if we'd just let each other be messy,
00:36:56sometimes we could've actually seen each other, you know?
00:37:05No.
00:37:12I don't think anyone ever really saw me.
00:37:21No, no one ever will.
00:37:25No.
00:37:26Look at me.
00:37:30While you're sewing, Maren.
00:37:34And I'll see you...
00:37:37for the rest of my life.
00:37:41I'm so tired, Katie.
00:37:48I'm so tired.
00:38:00Katie.
00:38:02Mm-hmm.
00:38:05The other one.
00:38:06You're gone.
00:38:11No.
00:38:12No.
00:38:16I'm so tired.
00:38:18No.
00:38:19No.
00:38:25No.
00:38:27No.
00:38:29Thank you for the gift, but I don't want these.
00:38:33You should give them to someone who actually wants them.
00:38:36Nonsets.
00:38:37Who else?
00:38:39You were the first Sinclair granddaughter.
00:38:44I don't want to be that.
00:38:46The heir.
00:38:48All right, then.
00:38:52Who will you be?
00:38:57Well, perhaps you could be an entitled child with a crush,
00:39:05who got mad at her family and committed arson,
00:39:08animal cruelty, and involuntary manslaughter.
00:39:13Now, you do love a story.
00:39:16You get that from Tip, of course.
00:39:19What a fondness for fairy tale endings.
00:39:22But I, too, know of heroes and villains, plot twists and tropes.
00:39:28But most importantly, I know how to sell a story.
00:39:33Certainly to your aunts and your mother.
00:39:38Or the poor littles who've lost Johnny and Mirren.
00:39:42Yes, it was an errand spark.
00:39:44It was an ignorant worker who had properly stored the fuel,
00:39:50was a cruel turn of the wind.
00:39:54And you nearly died, risking yourself,
00:39:57an attempt to save the others, like any good Sinclair would.
00:40:03Now, me, I would tell that story.
00:40:08When the reporter comes on Saturday, you keep that in mind.
00:40:12A reporter? On Beachwood?
00:40:15Oh. Another Time magazine cover.
00:40:18I'd like to put an end to the nattering about a family curse
00:40:22of my last significant profile.
00:40:25So, I've decided to retire from public life in my prime.
00:40:33So, it is time that I pass the baton to a worthy new face of the family.
00:40:49You won't wear those.
00:41:01Oh. It's early.
00:41:04It's one year ago today.
00:41:07I know. A year.
00:41:12The Sounds Edge Gallery agreed to display Mirren's art.
00:41:18Oh, I should have loved that.
00:41:21They were very eager.
00:41:24I just...
00:41:27I hope when people look at it, they see her.
00:41:34I want to make sure that she's seen as more than just a tragedy.
00:42:07That's a really nice thing that you did for her.
00:42:11Well, it's too late to do things for her.
00:42:16So...
00:42:20I thought I needed exactly what Mom had.
00:42:23I wanted the husband from the good family, beautiful home, three daughters.
00:42:29And I would daydream about what I would name them and how I would dress them
00:42:36to be just so perfect.
00:42:40And then I...
00:42:41I think I was just so busy adjusting them that...
00:42:47I forgot to just love them.
00:42:52Mirren knew that you loved her.
00:43:01She did.
00:43:07Sometimes I think losing them was for punishment.
00:43:12Like that one tiny ember was sent from God, or the universe, or Beachwood Island.
00:43:18And...
00:43:20Punishment for what?
00:43:23For what we did.
00:43:26In summer 16.
00:43:29The summer...
00:43:31The summer I was 16.
00:43:35Then I think if it was our punishment,
00:43:38Penny wouldn't have been spared.
00:43:41Right?
00:43:46Yeah.
00:44:02Here we go.
00:44:10Here we go.
00:44:12Ah!
00:44:12Oh come on!
00:44:13Right now.
00:44:17Come on!
00:44:19Come on!
00:44:26Are you real?
00:44:28I think so.
00:44:31No, it is.
00:44:32I'm Kat.
00:44:45Ta, you're it.
00:45:25I don't know.
00:45:33I knew you'd chase me.
00:45:35Always.
00:45:36Are you real?
00:45:39I don't know.
00:45:42I really don't know.
00:45:51Lovely.
00:45:52American royalty.
00:45:53Truly.
00:45:54Nice of Brody to join us today, Bess.
00:45:58Loss really showed us how strong our marriage truly is.
00:46:01Uh-huh.
00:46:02Do you mind standing in birth order?
00:46:04It's a condition of Dad bailing him out financially.
00:46:08A united, stable front.
00:46:11In the wake of it all.
00:46:12So you're trapped.
00:46:15Mm-hmm.
00:46:15Oh, my God.
00:46:16Some things never change.
00:46:18Oh, some things do, though.
00:46:23Ed!
00:46:26Oh, there he is.
00:46:34Ed, come on.
00:46:36We should, uh, we should get you in the photo, too.
00:46:38Uh, no.
00:46:39I'm all right, Iris.
00:46:40First, avoid the scrutiny.
00:46:43Uh, are we expecting Cadence?
00:46:45She'll, uh, she'll be around.
00:46:49Should we go get her?
00:46:50No.
00:46:52It's our choice.
00:46:57I wanted to believe we were helping you.
00:47:00Keeping the secret.
00:47:02I know now it was selfish.
00:47:06I just wanted one more summer.
00:47:10I didn't want to make you sicker.
00:47:13But I couldn't stop wanting you.
00:47:18Even when everything else about me felt like it was fading,
00:47:21I still loved you as much as ever.
00:47:25Well, there's something you don't know
00:47:29that might make you love me less.
00:47:36Right before midnight,
00:47:37I looked out and saw you at the boat.
00:47:43I should have waited, but...
00:47:45It took too long.
00:47:47I was downstairs.
00:47:50I could have gotten out
00:47:52while the clock was still chiming.
00:47:55But...
00:47:58I was looking at the family photo.
00:48:00The black pearls.
00:48:02The ones the moms were so obsessed with.
00:48:05Our whole lives, they obsessed over them.
00:48:08Who got to wear them.
00:48:09Christmas.
00:48:10At Easter.
00:48:10Who was the best.
00:48:12Who was the most loved.
00:48:15And I wanted them.
00:48:18I can't even explain why.
00:48:22That's why you were inside, Gat.
00:48:25That's why you died.
00:48:39It was all...
00:48:42my...
00:48:42fault.
00:48:43It's our fault.
00:48:44No.
00:48:45No, I'm the one who got impatient and didn't follow the plan.
00:48:48I was as involved as you, Katie.
00:48:51Truth is...
00:48:53I burnt that place down to the ground a million times in my mind already.
00:48:58I don't blame you.
00:49:02Iris wants me to keep up the big Sinclair lie.
00:49:07Like...
00:49:08I'm a hero.
00:49:10I don't want to be that kind of liar.
00:49:13But what about...
00:49:16the moms.
00:49:18The moms.
00:49:18And the littles.
00:49:21Your mom.
00:49:25Ed.
00:49:27I mean, they all think it was an accident.
00:49:32How will they move on if they know we meant it?
00:49:34Maybe it's okay...
00:49:35to let them pretend then.
00:49:38Look...
00:49:39you know the truth now.
00:49:40So you get to decide the rest of your story.
00:49:42That's it.
00:49:43That's what matters.
00:49:50Besides...
00:49:51some...
00:49:52fairy tales aren't so bad.
00:49:56I've been telling myself one all summer.
00:50:01You mean the one?
00:50:04Where you and I become...
00:50:05king and queen of Beechwood Island.
00:50:12No.
00:50:17Where you and I pack up and leave the mythical land where it's always summer.
00:50:22Out in the real world...
00:50:24it gets cold.
00:50:27The radiator in our shitty college apartment makes so much noise all night.
00:50:32You write for the lit magazine.
00:50:35I get a tattoo you pretend to hate.
00:50:38My mom...
00:50:39comes to visit us and teaches us how to make poha.
00:50:46We fight over who forgot to get rid of the...
00:50:50uh...
00:50:50the dryer lint.
00:50:56One semester we have to do long distance and...
00:51:00we write each other letters.
00:51:03Real ones in the mail.
00:51:10when we're back in our shitty apartment...
00:51:14we start to save up to buy you a ring.
00:51:17Even though you tell me you don't need one.
00:51:19we're back in our small place.
00:51:25And...
00:51:26How about what you ever after?
00:51:31In a better world.
00:51:36in a better world.
00:51:45God.
00:52:13Come on, one last time.
00:52:40Come on.
00:53:22Come on, one last time.
00:53:32Well, there she is.
00:53:34Caden's the first.
00:53:59Ed.
00:54:06Hey.
00:54:09So glad you're here.
00:54:13I'm glad you all did.
00:54:14I'm glad you're here.
00:54:26Caden's.
00:54:33I would like to introduce you to this young lady.
00:54:36She's going to ask you a few questions.
00:54:40What kind of questions?
00:54:41Oh.
00:54:42Well, it's a piece about your grandfather as the patriarch.
00:54:46But really, about your family's strength of character.
00:54:59I don't think I can help you with that.
00:55:03Caden's.
00:55:15I'm just really not into fairy tales anymore.
00:55:24I don't know.
00:55:28I don't know.
00:55:29I don't know.
00:55:38I don't know.
00:55:56I don't know.
00:55:59I don't know.
00:56:07I don't know.
00:56:11I don't know.
00:56:12I don't know the work of rebuilding from ashes.
00:56:15Even in the shadow cast by what used to stand tall.
00:56:23I was once a Sinclair.
00:56:25I was a liar.
00:56:25And I suppose I will always be a liar.
00:56:29Because liars, you should know, are forever.
00:56:49Carrie?
00:56:51Coming!
00:57:00I'm just going to make sure everything's locked up.
00:57:03I'll meet you at the dock, OK?
00:57:05Come on, Wolf.
00:57:07You got that?
00:57:28I thought you'd left.
00:57:31I don't think I can.
00:57:58I think I can.
00:58:00I'll meet you at the door.
00:58:02I'm done.
00:58:03I'm done.
00:58:04I'm done.
00:58:06I'm done.
00:58:07I'm done.
00:58:08I'm done.
00:58:09I'm done.
00:58:10The story goes.
00:58:13When you know, you know.
00:58:17Tell will tell.
00:58:19Yes, it will.
00:58:20Tell me everything.
00:58:22Time will tell, cast a spell
00:58:26When the spell seems
00:58:28Time will tell, yes it will
00:58:31Tell me everything I know
00:58:35Time will tell, but I won't know
00:59:16Time will tell, but I won't know
00:59:36Time will tell, but I won't know
00:59:53Time will tell, but I won't know
00:59:53Time will tell, but I won't know
01:00:22.
01:00:52.
01:01:22.
