00:00:02Hmm...
00:00:03Becca, it's midnight.
00:00:04And you're still writing, I know.
00:00:07Listen, I sold your spec script to a producer.
00:00:09He wants changes.
00:00:10What kind of changes?
00:00:12Happy ending.
00:00:13He says tragedy doesn't sell.
00:00:15It's a murder mystery.
00:00:17Someone has to die.
00:00:18Then kill the villain, not the heroine.
00:00:21Call me tomorrow.
00:00:27Everyone's an editor.
00:00:31Done.
00:00:32Silent billionaire kills his fiancée.
00:00:35No one suspects him.
00:00:37Perfect.
00:00:40I wish I could live inside your world.
00:00:43Just one week.
00:00:45Just to see if I got it right.
00:00:56What the...
00:01:14No, no.
00:01:16No way.
00:01:17This is...
00:01:18This is my script.
00:01:20The engagement.
00:01:22The penthouse.
00:01:23The silent fiancée.
00:01:25I wrote all of this.
00:01:36Must have been a nightmare.
00:01:46I have seven days.
00:01:48And I'm the only one who knows how the ends.
00:01:58In my script, he's a killer.
00:02:00But right now, he just looks like a guy who's really boring with his coffee.
00:02:06So, what's on your schedule today?
00:02:15Where?
00:02:19Just curious.
00:02:20I might drop by later.
00:02:24He doesn't believe me.
00:02:26He never does.
00:02:27But I'm going anyway.
00:02:36In the script, the victim is found at 3 o'clock.
00:02:40I have 13 minutes.
00:02:47Yeah, I smell gas.
00:02:49Strong.
00:02:50Like, really strong.
00:02:51You should send someone.
00:02:54I already called 911.
00:02:55You should wait outside.
00:02:56Now.
00:02:57Who are you?
00:02:59Someone who doesn't want to die in a fucking place.
00:03:01Move.
00:03:09One down.
00:03:10Six to go.
00:03:20I don't know what you're...
00:03:22I don't know what you're...
00:03:34How?
00:03:36I got lucky.
00:03:39He spoke.
00:03:41He spoke to me.
00:03:42And I lied to his face.
00:03:46Seven days.
00:03:48One down.
00:03:49Five to go.
00:03:55Five to go.
00:03:56Did you hear?
00:03:56That assistant almost died yesterday.
00:03:58And guess who called 911?
00:03:59Sloane Harper.
00:04:00The same Sloane Harper who's engaged to Sebastian Sterling?
00:04:03The guy who never talks?
00:04:04The one and only.
00:04:05Some people are saying she knew it was going to happen.
00:04:07Like, before it happened.
00:04:08That's creepy.
00:04:09What's creepier is that her fiancé's family had some old feud with the Vances,
00:04:12like, 15 years ago.
00:04:13Something about a kidnapping.
00:04:15Kidnapping?
00:04:15I didn't write that.
00:04:16What are they talking about?
00:04:21I didn't write this.
00:04:24Someone else did.
00:04:25Someone's been in my computer.
00:04:33Sebastian?
00:04:35What happened to your mother?
00:04:39I'm sorry.
00:04:40I'm so sorry.
00:04:42What are you?
00:04:45I'm not.
00:04:46I can't explain.
00:04:47Not yet.
00:04:50He knows I'm going to try to stop it.
00:04:54But he doesn't know how.
00:04:57I have to go.
00:05:03Who is this?
00:05:06What do you want?
00:05:07Someone else knows the future.
00:05:09And they're playing a game with me.
00:05:10Tomorrow, I stop the second murder.
00:05:13Then I find whoever's been in my computer.
00:05:28If it's nothing, why hide it?
00:05:31My past?
00:05:33I grew up in Brooklyn.
00:05:35My grandmother raised me.
00:05:36There's nothing to know.
00:05:39Isabella Vance.
00:05:40The victim.
00:05:41Or maybe not just a victim.
00:05:44That tattoo.
00:05:45I wrote it into my script for a villain.
00:05:47But I didn't write it for Isabella.
00:05:49Someone changed that too.
00:05:53You didn't want me to come.
00:05:55But you didn't stop me.
00:05:58And you're not?
00:06:02Time to check the brakes.
00:06:13Yes, I need a tow at Vance State.
00:06:14Black sedan.
00:06:15License Vance 1.
00:06:16Flat tire.
00:06:16The owner doesn't know yet.
00:06:17Just send someone.
00:06:21I'm fine.
00:06:22Just...
00:06:22Car sick.
00:06:28Car accident today.
00:06:30His vehicle reportedly suffered a mechanical failure,
00:06:31but a tow truck's early arrival may have prevented a tragedy.
00:06:34Police are investigating possible tampering.
00:06:36I couldn't let him die.
00:06:40Because if he died, they would blame you.
00:06:55You don't have to thank me.
00:06:57I...
00:06:57No.
00:06:59Who cut the brake line?
00:07:01Who tampered with my script?
00:07:03That tattoo.
00:07:04Isabella Vance?
00:07:05Who is she really?
00:07:17You asked me to dig into the Vance-Sterling history.
00:07:20I found something.
00:07:21Fifteen years ago, Vance Industries and Sterling Group signed a settlement agreement.
00:07:24The details are sealed, but there's a clause that's been partially redacted.
00:07:27It says, in the event of default by Sterling,
00:07:29the Vance family reserves the right to seek personal security and accountability from Sebastian Sterling.
00:07:32Personal accountability? What is that?
00:07:34Could be anything.
00:07:34Financial, legal, or criminal.
00:07:37So if someone wanted to destroy Sebastian,
00:07:40they could engineer a default and then claim he's accountable.
00:07:42That's the theory.
00:07:43Who benefited?
00:07:45Isabella's mother, Elaine Vance, she's a lawyer.
00:07:48She would have known how to write this clause.
00:07:50She's been Vance's attorney for 20 years.
00:07:57It's them.
00:07:58It's always been them.
00:08:02Sloan Harper.
00:08:03You've been someone who's been reading your story.
00:08:05Who is this?
00:08:06The real one.
00:08:06The one before all the changes.
00:08:08What do you want?
00:08:09To warn you or threaten you.
00:08:10Whichever you prefer.
00:08:11Get to the point.
00:08:12You think you're saving people.
00:08:13But every time you intervene, the story changes.
00:08:16And the next death becomes harder to prevent.
00:08:18What are you saying?
00:08:19I'm saying you won't save them all.
00:08:22And in the end, you'll be the one who pays.
00:08:25What was that?
00:08:27Someone who knows too much.
00:08:31You're scared.
00:08:32Yes.
00:08:34Of what?
00:08:39Of losing you.
00:08:41I didn't plan this.
00:08:43I didn't write this.
00:08:44But here we are.
00:08:52It's done.
00:08:53The brakes were cut.
00:08:55I know.
00:08:56I watched.
00:08:56But she called a tow truck.
00:08:57He's alive.
00:08:58I'm aware.
00:08:59She's proving to be resourceful.
00:09:01What's the next move?
00:09:02The engagement party.
00:09:03We don't touch her until then.
00:09:05Let her think she's winning.
00:09:07It's a battle.
00:09:07When she falls, he falls with her.
00:09:09That's the beauty of love that makes you vulnerable.
00:09:17I traced Elaine Vance's financial records for the past 15 years.
00:09:20Some accounts in the caveman's.
00:09:21Not in her name, but the money flows to her.
00:09:22Can you connect her to the kidnapping?
00:09:23Not directly, but she was Sterling's personal attorney.
00:09:25She resigned one week before the kidnapping, then she joined Vance Group.
00:09:28The timing is too perfect.
00:09:30She knew it was going to happen.
00:09:31Maybe she planned it.
00:09:33But why?
00:09:34What's the motive?
00:09:35This personal escouncibility clause.
00:09:36If Sterling Group defaults, the Vance's can go after Sebastian.
00:09:39After the kidnapping, Sterling's wife disappears.
00:09:40The company falls into chaos, and the Vance's signed this agreement.
00:09:43So Elaine engineered the kidnapping to control Sterling?
00:09:45Not just control.
00:09:46Extortion.
00:09:46Every step, the breaks, the murders, the framing.
00:09:48It was all her plan.
00:09:49There's a problem.
00:09:50The murder details in the script, Elaine couldn't have written those.
00:09:52Some of them, only I knew.
00:09:53You think she has an accomplice?
00:09:54Someone hacked me.
00:09:55I've been copying my files.
00:09:56That person is the real prophet.
00:09:57Elaine is just the executor.
00:10:00What price?
00:10:03They found my girl.
00:10:08No.
00:10:08If they see bodyguards, they'll move fast.
00:10:10I go see her, warn her, but I can't tell her the truth.
00:10:13Her heart can't take it.
00:10:16You're too recognizable.
00:10:18That face gets noticed everywhere.
00:10:21You're choking at a time like this?
00:10:24He's the man the world calls cold.
00:10:26But what he remembers is how to make me smile.
00:10:32Ronan, what's the sudden visit?
00:10:34Missed you, Grandma.
00:10:36That car, whose is it?
00:10:38My fiancé's.
00:10:39Fiancé?
00:10:40You never mentioned him.
00:10:42Things are complicated.
00:10:43Grandma, have any strangers come by recently?
00:10:45No.
00:10:46Just the mailman and old Tom next door borrowing sugar.
00:10:49If anyone knocks, no matter who, don't open the door.
00:10:52Call me.
00:10:53You're in trouble, aren't you?
00:10:56But I can handle it.
00:10:57I promise.
00:10:58You've always been stubborn as a mule.
00:11:00Go handle your trouble.
00:11:02I'm not so old that I need a babysitter.
00:11:16They don't want me dead.
00:11:18They want me gone.
00:11:20No body, no evidence, no case.
00:11:26For now.
00:11:29I won't let anyone hurt you.
00:11:32He's learning to speak first.
00:11:35And I might get him killed just by existing.
00:11:42Someone is carefully designing a trap.
00:11:45Make Sebastian the killer make me vanish.
00:11:49Marcus, I need you to find something.
00:11:51The detective who handled the Sterling kidnapping case, is he still alive?
00:11:54One second.
00:11:55Got it.
00:11:55Detective James O'Brien, retired, lives on Long Island.
00:11:58Send me the address.
00:11:59Actually, I have two addresses here.
00:12:01One in Long Island, one in Florida.
00:12:03Not sure which is current.
00:12:04You have two?
00:12:04Old records.
00:12:05I'll send both.
00:12:06And cross-reference with any other connections to the Sterling case.
00:12:09Will do.
00:12:11Something doesn't feel right.
00:12:19How did you...
00:12:21How do you even know that?
00:12:27Yes.
00:12:28I want to help you find her.
00:12:32Mr. Sterling.
00:12:33I didn't think you'd ever come back to see me.
00:12:38Come in.
00:12:39I worked that case for six months.
00:12:41Then it got shut down.
00:12:44National security, they said, told me to keep my mouth shut.
00:12:47Who shut it down?
00:12:50Your father.
00:12:54He said your mother ran off with another man.
00:12:56Didn't want the scandal.
00:12:57But you didn't believe that.
00:12:58I found evidence.
00:12:59Witnesses who saw two men force her into a van.
00:13:01Not a lover.
00:13:01Kidnapped her.
00:13:02I kept everything.
00:13:02Photos, statements, witness names.

00:13:34I didn't know how not to be silent.
00:13:38You've already started talking to me, smiling at me, getting angry at me.
00:13:44You're not a silent man.

00:30:21you think a retired judge could access swiss clinics
00:30:24bribe detectives control sterling group for 15 years
00:30:27it's just a pawn
00:30:30who's the player
00:30:32i don't know the name
00:30:34only the codon
00:30:36the bishop
00:30:37the bishop
00:30:39in chess the bishop moves diagonally
00:30:41it never attacks head on
00:30:42always from the side
00:30:44does kendrick know who the bishop is
00:30:45he won't say
00:30:47he's more afraid of that person than of going to prison
00:30:49i'm done
00:30:50but you can keep digging
00:30:52as long as you're not afraid to die
00:30:54i'm not afraid to die
00:30:56i'm afraid of dying without finding the truth
00:30:59bishop chess
00:31:00could be a codename for someone inside the legal system
00:31:03kendrick was a judge
00:31:04elaine was a lawyer
00:31:06their common ground is the legal system
00:31:09could the bishop be in the legal system too

00:55:53cleanly
00:55:54it's the king
00:55:55he's sending a message
00:55:56then we answer
00:55:59marcus
00:56:00find every connection edward sterling had
00:56:02every business partner

00:56:13one is in prison
00:56:14the third
00:56:15is a ghost
00:56:16no records after 1990
00:56:17a ghost
00:56:18someone who erased himself
00:56:20but i found a trail
00:56:21he moved money through a series of shell companies
00:56:23the last transaction was last week
00:56:24where
00:56:24to a bank in libenstein
00:56:25and from there
00:56:26to a private account in switzerland
00:56:28under the name m sterling
00:56:30m sterling
00:56:31margaret
00:56:32or someone using her name
00:56:33but margaret is in prison
00:56:34so either she has a partner outside
00:56:36or the king is not margaret
00:56:37then who
00:56:39what if edward didn't start the organization alone
00:56:41what if there was a third person
00:56:43there's no record of a third
00:56:44then we make a record
00:56:45we flush him out
00:56:46how
00:56:46we announce that we've found edward's second box
00:56:49that we know the king's identity

00:57:45she's gone
00:57:47the king broke her out

01:12:18the ghost is not a person
01:12:20it's a bloodline
01:12:20the sterling family had a secret
01:12:22they weren't the only ones in power
01:12:23there was another family
01:12:24older
01:12:25richer
01:12:25they called themselves
01:12:26keepers of what
01:12:26of the throne
01:12:27the king's throne
01:12:28every generation
01:12:29one keeper sits as the king
01:12:30edward was supposed to be a keeper
01:12:31but he rebelled
01:12:32he tried to dismantle the system
01:12:34that's why they took catherine
01:12:36that's why they killed helen
01:12:36to remind him
01:12:37he really controlled everything
01:12:38the king is still out there
01:12:40the king is always out there
01:12:41it's a title
01:12:42he passes from parent to child
01:12:44and the current king
01:12:46is someone very close to me
01:12:48thanks sloan

01:13:13the only person who fits is margaret
01:13:15but she's in prison
01:13:16or someone pretending to be her
01:13:18i overheard
01:13:19there's something i never told you
01:13:25margaret had a twin sister
01:13:26she died young
