00:01A.
00:10What's wrong?
00:13What's happening to her?
00:15What's happening?
00:16Sweetie, are you okay?
00:18I'm right here.
00:19I need you to back up.
00:21She'll need a big mess.
00:22Get her out of here.
00:27She's here because of you.
00:28No, please.
00:30Please.
00:33She's here.
00:36No.
00:38Charge at 50.
00:40Clear.
00:42Check in rhythm.
00:45Still in decent.
00:45Charge at 100.
00:47Clear.
00:49We have a pulse.
00:50Oh my god.
00:53Oh my god.
00:54Oh my god.
00:58Oh my god.
01:10Hello.
01:11Dr. Chen said we've seen the worst of it.
01:15She just needs to rest now.
01:18Let's go home.
01:19Come back later.
01:24Is your baby in the hospital?
01:28Then don't tell me what's best.
01:39Mary always thought it was so strange how it happened.
01:43She never did remember missing the pill.
01:47But there it was.
01:48The undeniable lines.
01:52At the time she was far too young.
01:54Her career, and quite a promising one at that, had only just started.
01:58What would become of her now?
02:04From a young age, Mary was a naturally gifted storyteller.
02:08Adept at it.
02:10Wielding it to distract her younger siblings from the chaos and uncertainty of their family home.
02:18Stories, especially provocative and secretive ones, were her escape.
02:24As fate would have it, Mary's obsession with words led her to Howard.
02:31Someone who finally understood her.
02:34Every part of her.
02:35Not just the sweet surface she presented to the world.
02:39But the one she kept safely hidden.
02:43Mary was a naturally gifted storyteller.
02:46And the greatest story she ever told was that life with Howard, as a wife and mother, was her happily
02:53ever after.
03:46Mary, Mary.
03:59What time is it?
04:03Just after two.
04:06She just hasn't woken up yet.
04:09The nurses keep coming in to check on her.
04:13They gave me this long list of cardiologists to look at.
04:21Kieser, they long-term damage to her heart.
04:24Oh, Mary, I'm so sorry.
04:28Where are the kids?
04:29Are they still here?
04:30No, I took Junie and Marcus home last night.
04:35And Howard?
04:36I haven't seen him all day.
04:40Marcus wanted me to make sure that you have this.
04:45Yeah.
04:48Can we talk about the pills?
04:55Mary Simpson?
04:56Yes.
04:58You need to come with us.
04:59Okay.
05:00What should I do?
05:02I can call a lawyer?
05:02Yeah.
05:03Just stay with her.
05:05I love you.
05:10Call me.
05:11Okay.
05:14I said some things that weren't true.
05:17It distracted everyone from what really matters.
05:20Finding who killed my mom.
05:21Our whole family, we just want this nightmare over.
05:24During this morning's press conference,
05:26the Hennessy family announced a $50,000 reward
05:29for any information that could lead to an arrest
05:32in the murder of Nancy Hennessy.
05:33The family insists that the kid's husband is Hennessy.
05:41Mrs. Simpson, my name is Kabat Asani.
05:44I work for the Department of Children and Family Services.
05:47We've launched a formal investigation
05:49into what happened to your daughter.
05:51This is the emergency protective order.
05:55While our investigation is ongoing
05:56and for the safety of your children,
05:58you'll be required to leave the home
06:00and you're not to have any unsupervised contact
06:01with your minor children.
06:07No, I can't do that.
06:07No, I can't do that.
06:07Any violation of this court order
06:09will lead to your arrest.
06:12No, I'm a good mother.
06:15You're free to request a detention hearing
06:17with the judge.
06:18Tell her.
06:19Howard, you have to tell her I am a good mother.
06:21This was one awful mistake.
06:23Do you mind if I speak with my wife alone?
06:24Yeah.
06:27Yeah, we can fight this.
06:28Howard, you have to tell her
06:30that Eleanor can help us with a lawyer.
06:32Where is she?
06:33Where's what?
06:35Artemis woke me up
06:36because she wet the bed
06:37and she was looking for you.
06:39Searched the whole house.
06:42I assumed you had passed out on the couch,
06:45doom scrolling or whatever the hell
06:46that you do at night.
06:47And then I checked the office.
06:51The mess you made.
06:54You took something from my closet.
07:08Those bells are on the highest shelf.
07:14There's no way that the girls could ever reach them.
07:17And you know that.
07:18Mary?
07:20You did it.
07:23You poisoned our baby.
07:27Why would I do something like that?
07:28Because I know, Howard,
07:32I know that you killed Nancy.
07:36And now I know it
07:38with every single part of me.
07:43They're about to lock you up
07:45for a few pep pills in a tin of mints.
07:48and they don't even know the half of it.
07:52You may never see the girls again.
07:56You motherfucker!
08:00You fucking liar!
08:01You fucking monster!
08:03You fucking liar!
08:04How dare you take them!
08:06How dare you?
08:06He poisoned my child!
08:08You have to listen to me!
08:09He poisoned my baby!
08:12My wife is just upset.
08:13You're a fucking liar!
08:15No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
08:16I will take her.
08:17She can come with me.
08:18No, not leave my girls with him, Ellie!
08:20No!
08:21You cannot leave me!
08:22Look at me!
08:22Look at me!
08:23Stop! Stop!
08:24You have to stop.
08:25We'll figure it out.
08:27Stop!
08:28You're making it worse.
08:30Please.
08:31Let go of her.
08:32Please.
08:33Please.
08:35It's okay.
08:36It's okay.
08:37It's okay.
08:40Mary?
08:41Mary?
08:42Mary?
08:43Mary?
08:45Mary?
08:45Mary?
08:46Mary?
08:46Mary?
08:50Mary?
08:51This book was out of print before it even hid the bookstore.
08:54Howard is the only person in the world with this translation of Catullus five and he gave
08:57it to me years ago when we first started dating.
09:00He gave Nancy the same one.
09:03And you knew none of this when I stopped by your house yesterday?
09:07I found out about all of this after you left.
09:11He's a sociopath.
09:13He's a liar.
09:15You learned that yesterday, too?
09:18You'd be surprised, which you can fool yourself into thinking sometimes.
09:23Only see what you want to see and not what's there.
09:26But this, this ring, this has to be probable cause.
09:29Detective, you can use this.
09:31You can bring him in, you can get his prints, compare it to anything you have from the crime scene.
09:35I'm telling you the truth.
09:37My husband was sleeping with my best friend.
09:41He killed her.
09:44How else would Nancy's ring be in my house?
09:50Excuse me.
09:53Thank you, Jodi, for bringing her in. Please join us.
09:56No, I don't have anything to add.
09:58Okay.
09:59But this is only going to take a minute.
10:01Okay.
10:14But this is only going to take a minute.
10:14Hmm.
10:16Ms. Boucher, do you recognize any of these items?
10:23Yes, these are Nancy's things.
10:26Yeah.
10:26Nancy, Lauren, Hennessy.
10:32I don't understand. Is this evidence?
10:42What's going on?
10:43How it got to you.
10:45If you're asking how what's in this box came to be in my possession, then yes, your husband came in
10:51this morning, but help me clarify something. How exactly did these items get into your house? Did he steal them
11:00from Mrs. Hennessy or did you?
11:06It's not what it looks like.
11:09Oh, Mary.
11:11What did you do?
11:13She would never have even noticed that any of it was gone. Nancy had so much.
11:17Oh, my God.
11:18Your husband says you were jealous and obsessed with Mrs. Hennessy. Were you?
11:23This is what he wants. He's trying to distract you.
11:27He says this is why you're accusing him of having an affair with her.
11:30No, he seduced her. He killed her. He is the bad guy. I am not.
11:40You know, I've been doing this job a long time. I met a lot of loved ones in a lot
11:47of different relationships. And this thing, what the three of you had, I'm not even sure what to call it,
11:54but it wasn't a friendship.
12:03Thank you for stopping by.
12:13Thank you for stopping by.
12:27Mom?
12:28Hey. Hi.
12:30Mom, what's going on? Dad said you're not coming home.
12:33Where are you?
12:34I'm at the hospital. Junie wanted to see Artemis.
12:37Is she okay?
12:38Yeah. Yeah, she's awake.
12:41Dad said she's gonna be fine. She can go home tomorrow night.
12:44Oh. Thank God.
12:46What's going on?
12:48I will explain everything as soon as I can. Okay, honey? Can you do something for me?
12:55Okay, yeah. What?
12:56Do not leave your sisters alone with your father. You cannot let them out of your sight. Can you do
13:03that?
13:06Mom, I gotta go.
13:08I know that is a lot to ask. I know.
13:12Mom, whatever's going on, I'm on your side.
13:34I talked to Marcus. Marty's awake. She's doing better.
13:42That's good.
13:50I set a meeting in the morning with a PI who works with my attorneys.
13:55He has the photos from the crime scene and he's gonna see if we can find some connection between Howard
14:02and the murder.
14:04Because at this point, only hard evidence will convince them.
14:08Right. Because of me, our words don't really matter anymore.
14:20You're mad at me.
14:22I'm not.
14:24I don't hate Nancy.
14:26I know you don't.
14:33Don't you wanna know why I took those things because...
14:36Do you even know why? Really?
14:46It's my mother. I'm sure she's just calling to see if I've run off with Robert and forever tarnished the
14:52Boucher family name.
14:55How is Robert?
14:57I wouldn't know.
15:02We have an early start tomorrow morning.
15:18Do you want anything? I could get the menu to make quality strawberry milkshake.
15:23No, thanks, but that's not necessary.
15:26Do you have the photos?
15:27Down to business. I like that.
15:30You're not screamish, are you? These are pretty graphic.
15:33I need to see what he did to her.
15:56Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
16:01Sure.
16:02Could you show us in person? The crime scene?
16:07That wasn't what we agreed on. I could lose my license.
16:09Mary, everything we need is in these photos.
16:12No, it's not.
16:15What exactly is your goal here?
16:17The man who did this is not a professional. I...
16:20I know him.
16:22And if he made a mistake, I will find it.
16:38This is it. The dead zone. The victim was murdered here.
16:43Her name was Nancy, not the victim.
16:46Really want me to say her name while I do this?
16:49Your killer gets the victim here.
16:52Trajectory of the blood splatter tells us he's at least six feet tall.
16:55He gets her into this spot, she can't run, and he shoves her.
17:01Based on the skull fracture, we know once was all it took to get the job done.
17:05And then she falls here.
17:06Wait, I thought the police said they found her body by the water.
17:09They did.
17:10Yeah, he dragged her about 30 feet east.
17:14That's where he dumped her body.
17:16It's easier to pull dead weight by the ankles.
17:24But here's the interesting part.
17:26About halfway, he stopped pulling by both her ankles.
17:31How do you know?
17:31Well, the patterns of the blood smear changes right here.
17:36I have a hunch dragging the victim that whole distance with both his hands was probably too much for the
17:43guy.
17:43It looks like he used his right hand to drag her the rest of the way.
17:50Not because he's weak, but I think your killer has some type of injury.
17:54Maybe a bad back or a bum left shoulder.
18:15You're sure no one's home?
18:17Hardy hasn't been discharged yet.
18:19Marcus said that they're all still with her at the hospital.
18:21You're not supposed to be here, Mary.
18:23Maybe we just find the doctor's office tomorrow?
18:25No, I can do this.
18:27I can do it.
18:28You don't have to prove anything to me.
18:31I know I don't.
18:35In and out.
18:37Okay.
18:37I'll be right here.
19:07I can do it.
19:10I can do it.
19:15I can do it.
19:19What are you?
19:20Why should I go?
19:22You don't have to.
19:24It's okay.
19:24It's okay.
19:25It's fine.
19:30What are you doing?
19:33Oh, this wasn't very smart.
19:36Imagine what would happen if Child Services made an unannounced visit.
19:39You'd be in a heap of trouble.
19:42This is still my house.
19:50What do you have there?
19:54I hate this, Mary.
19:57You're afraid of me.
19:59Look at you.
20:00You're shaking like a leaf.
20:01You killed Nancy.
20:03I wish you'd stop saying that.
20:05They know.
20:07The police.
20:08They know that the killer had an injured left shoulder.
20:13They know.
20:16Oh, my medical records.
20:19Is that your plan?
20:22To take those to the police and dazzle them with the news that I have the world's most common gym
20:27injury?
20:30Can you at least sit down?
20:32Standing feels so combative.
20:33I just want to talk for a minute like we always have.
20:38I think you owe that to me, at least.
20:41You know me better than anybody.
20:44They don't.
20:46They don't know you.
20:49The man that I married, the man that I fell in love with, he never would have done the awful
21:00things that you have done.
21:01I haven't done anything awful.
21:03That's you.
21:06Don't you see?
21:07You're tearing this family apart.
21:09No, stop it.
21:11Stop it.
21:12Stop what?
21:13Stop twisting things around on me.
21:15What is your endgame here?
21:16What do you want?
21:17I want you out of my house, and I want you away from my children.
21:22And I want you to run for what you did.
21:24And then what?
21:26With me out of the picture, it's not as if you'd be granted custody, nor anyone in your colorfully unstable
21:32family.
21:32I can't see a judge sending the girls to grandma's pot farm after what they've been through.
21:39And with godmother Eleanor still a suspect in her friend's death.
21:43Fucking asshole.
21:44I guess that leaves foster care, and I know that's not what you want.
21:49I still love you, Mary.
21:52Despite all your fabulations.
21:54I can still envision us getting past this.
21:57Starting over.
21:59Starting fresh.
21:59That's what I want.
22:01Leaving here and going to Ohio as a family.
22:05I know how much you love the children.
22:08More than I think.
22:10We can still be a family, you and I.
22:14Like Chloe and Daphnis.
22:18Troubled, but fated.
22:23God, I used to believe that.
22:28That I spoke to Jenny.
22:32She showed it to me.
22:35She showed me the scar.
22:39Hmm?
22:41The one that she got the night she tried to leave you.
22:48Hmm?
22:49The words and your stories.
22:54That's one thing, but a scar on a body is proof.
23:00Because that's what you do, right?
23:02Right?
23:03You take a fragile woman, and you hollow her out until you are all that is left.
23:14There's one thing I don't understand, though.
23:19Why Nancy Howard?
23:24You could have had anyone.
23:27Why her?
23:30I'm sorry.
23:32I'm sorry.
23:37I'm so sorry.
23:43But I wasn't the one with the thing for Nancy.
23:46That was you.
23:53I know you loved her.
23:56You thought she was so beautiful.
23:58That's why I went along with your little game.
24:04It was actually quite hot, watching how turned on you'd get.
24:11Fantasizing about being her.
24:15Wearing her clothes.
24:17Welcome back, Mr. and Mrs. Hennessy.
24:19Putting on her earrings.
24:23You don't know how much fun we had.
24:44Fuck me.
24:51Tell me how much you want at me, Nancy.
25:04You take those to Detective Gans.
25:08You tell her the whole story.
25:13Because if I'm guilty,
25:17so are you.
25:36What happened?
25:37What took you so long?
25:40Let's go.
25:41Oh, my God.
26:12Stop the car.
26:14Ellie, stop the car, please.
26:16Ellie, pull over. Stop the car.
26:17Here? Stop the car.
26:19Okay. Stop.
26:22Are you okay?
26:24What's happening?
26:28Shit.
26:29Mary!
26:33What are you doing?
26:35Mary, what are you...
26:37What happened?
26:38Wind! Please talk to me.
26:41Tell me what happened.
26:42I can't do it.
26:44I can't do it.
26:45What?
26:46I can't do it. Any of it. I can't go to the police.
26:48What are you talking about?
26:50He wins.
26:51No, he can't win.
26:52Howard wins.
26:55I could lose my children. Do you understand?
26:57But if he goes to jail...
26:58He won't. Don't you see that?
27:00He is so much smarter than I am, Ellie.
27:03Every move I make, he is too ahead.
27:05He is so much smarter than me.
27:08Why am I even doing any of this?
27:11Nancy thought I was pathetic.
27:13No. Nancy loved you.
27:14Yes. She was fucking my husband.
27:17Howard may be a piece of shit,
27:19but Nancy is not without blame.
27:21She's not.
27:23Ellie, please.
27:23I can't. I cannot lose any more than I have.
27:26I can't lose them.
27:27I can't...
27:27I can't.
27:30He's a murderer.
27:32He's a fucking murderer.
27:35He murdered our best friend.
27:38That's it.
27:39That's all that matters.
27:41I understand that you are tired.
27:42I understand that you are afraid.
27:44I am too.
27:45We're gonna go home.
27:46We're gonna get in bed.
27:47We're gonna sleep.
27:48And tomorrow we will wake up together.
27:49We will go to the police with Howard's medical records
27:52like we planned.
27:55Please.
28:24We will be.
28:25Mm-hmm.
28:26Mm-hmm.
28:27Mm-hmm.
28:30Hmm.
29:27Mayor.
29:39Mary?
29:47Mary?
29:50Hey, you've reached Mary and Diddy.
29:52Mary?
29:57Hey, you've reached Mary and Diddy.
30:00Mary?
30:04We can't come to the phone right now, but if you leave a message, we'll call you back.
30:08Mary, where are you?
30:35I won't say a word.
30:40And I'm gonna be good.
30:42Mary?
30:45I promise.
30:47Mary?
30:48Mary?
30:52Mary?
30:53Mary?
30:58Mary?
30:59Mary?
31:03Mary?
31:05Mary?
31:11Mary?
31:12Mary?
31:13Mary?
31:14Mary?
31:15Mary?
31:17Mary?
31:18Mary?
31:20Mary?
31:21Mary?
31:37Mary?
32:00Mary?
32:03Mary?
32:04Oh, for Christ's sake.
32:04Where is she?
32:05You are aware I have neighbors.
32:06Where is Mary?
32:07She doesn't want to see you.
32:08What?
32:10What did you do?
32:11Nothing.
