00:02Previously on Sacred Lies
00:03What the hell were you thinking?
00:05Grabbing a spear and running into the woods
00:08I did it for you
00:09I'm not your mom
00:10Yeah, but you're literally all I got
00:12Is that okay? You watch her while I play?
00:15Of course
00:21I'm not confused anymore
00:27Shannon called me to come get you
00:28You ran away
00:29You know how this works
00:30Elsie, stop!
00:35Honor told Elsie that you're all connected
00:38But how?
00:40Do you have a record of the musicians who've played here?
00:44The only record of every musician who's come through is that
00:49Where are we going?
00:58Where are we going?
00:59I'm taking you, Mom
01:11Though you went away
01:14And though you wouldn't stay
01:18You're still a part of me
01:26Though you made me blue
01:30I'm still in love with you
01:34I'm still in love with you
01:34You're still a part of me
01:41I know, dear, dear, that you could cure my loneliness
01:49Though I'll always sigh you're still a part of me
02:00Though, yes, even though you broke my heart
02:08You're still a part of me
02:13You're still a part of me
02:33You're still a part of me
02:36Pepper?
02:37Pepper?
02:41Pepper?
03:17Yeah?
03:18I got a match.
03:19What?
03:20A DNA match on Elsie.
03:22A maternal third cousin, twice removed.
03:25Distant, but still, I mean, she has family out there.
03:28Where are they?
03:30Wait, hold on.
03:31Where are you?
03:32I'm at this dive bar near Cherry Falls.
03:35Um, and you're there because?
03:37I figured out the connection between the Jane Doe's and Elsie's mom.
03:42They were all musicians, so all three of them played at this shithole.
03:46I'm sorry.
03:47Are you even going to briefly acknowledge the fact that you just left me here in your apartment in the
03:52middle of the night?
03:54Yeah, okay.
03:55But I told you I'm not good at this whole having people in your life thing, remember?
04:00I did say that.
04:03I've never been so close to figuring out this thing.
04:07Harper.
04:08If I'm just going to be a disappointment to you, Lily, then what's the point?
04:12Harper, would you shut up?
04:14What?
04:15Don't do what you always do, the whole cactus and balloon thing.
04:20I'm in this with you.
04:25Okay.
04:30All right, we'll talk about social skills later.
04:33But in the meantime, I'm forwarding you the address to Elsie's cousin.
04:37You're in Wyoming, but hey, you're already on the road, so you have to tell Elsie.
04:44Where is she?
04:51I don't know how much time I got left.
04:55I'm going to keep my promise.
04:57I'll tell you anything you want to know.
05:00Is my name really Elsie?
05:02Or is that just another lie?
05:05Your name was Maya.
05:17Maya, that sounds like a completely different person.
05:22It doesn't even feel like me.
05:23No, that's because it isn't.
05:25The name isn't who you are.
05:27It's just expectation your parents put on you.
05:30From the second you're born.
05:33My dad called me Hunter because he wanted some macho hunting buddy.
05:39I was never that guy.
05:42So who's Peter Wolfe?
05:43He's a dead school teacher from Yapa.
05:47I didn't do anything to him.
05:49I bought his ID from a guy on the street.
05:53I thought having a different name could make me a different man.
05:59Give me a new life.
06:01I didn't change anything.
06:04Names don't matter.
06:05We are who we are.
06:07If names don't matter, why did you name me after your mom?
06:12I thought maybe if I gave you her name, she'd be with you somehow.
06:18Keep you safe.
06:22You just made me a character in your story.
06:25Just like your dad did to you.
06:32That Hopper.
06:37What does she want with you anyway?
06:39I'm just something she wants to solve.
06:45Just another person using me.
06:48I'm just another person using me.
07:04I'm just another person using me.
07:15I'm a car.
07:21so how do you have our dna your son's information is available on this genealogy website yours is
07:30too never signed up for anything like that maybe your son did i mean someone in your family submitted
07:37dna and filled out a family tree god damn it declan told you specifically not to do that
07:45gene teen horse crap what is wrong with you god mom leave me alone everybody's doing it you sold
07:51your seed to the government and now i got a lesbian in my living room i just wanted to find
07:57out if we
07:58had any relatives in ireland like dad always said you know what we're not even a little bit irish i
08:02don't need to take a test to know that i'm 100 american or that your father is a goddamn liar
08:09okay i didn't sign up for a thing and yet you know my name my address my date of birth
08:14i didn't
08:15consent to any of that i hear you i there's a definite gray area but these dna websites are
08:23actually solving crimes and they're reuniting families so i think if it creates a little
08:29inconvenience it's what if an insurance company takes a look at my dna and goes oh looky here
08:33she's predisposed for heart disease or diabetes suddenly i got a pre-existing condition and they
08:39deny me coverage is that fair or is that a little inconvenient well it's not great so i see your
08:46point or what about the department of so-called justice here we go what are this morons hanging
08:51out with his friends and just spits on the sidewalk as he's leaving and then those idiots go and rob
08:55the
08:56liquor store guess whose dna is at the crime scene and he wasn't even there for the crime look arwen

14:55once upon a time
14:57there was a princess
14:59who lived in a forest
15:01who lived in a forest
15:02and she had the most beautiful voice in the whole wide world
15:07people would come from near and far
15:09just to hear her sing
15:13one day
15:15a monster came into the forest
15:18his big clawed paws
15:21pour down the trees
15:24and his big stomping feet
15:26shook the houses
15:28everyone ran out of the forest
15:30but the princess just kept on singing
15:33so finally
15:34the monster reached the princess
15:39and she looked up into the eyes of the beast
15:42she wasn't scared
15:46you see
15:47the monster didn't want to hurt anybody
15:51especially her
15:54he'd heard the princess's beautiful song
15:59and he was
16:00it was enchanted by her voice
16:04so the princess knew she had nothing to fear
16:08so she kissed the monster on the top of the head
16:12and he turned into a prince
16:16so thanks to the brave smart princess
16:20everyone could go back to living in the forest
16:23the monster got a second chance to be a prince
16:27and her voice can still be heard
16:30all across the way
16:34and they all lived happily ever after
16:53and we've always had this
16:57connection
16:59i don't know why

19:01that sound
19:06I don't know.
19:51Maya, get out of there.
19:54We don't go through people's stuff.
20:25We don't go through people's stuff.
20:40We don't go through people's stuff.
21:03We don't go through people's stuff.
21:20We don't go through people's stuff.
21:20I guess it'll be 20 years next month.
21:23So the Facebook post?
21:25That was me.
21:27Back in the day, I used to help her book and promote her shows.
21:31I just kept the habit.
21:34Her music is so beautiful.
21:36Feels wrong not to share it.
21:38Probably sounds crazy to you.
21:40No, it doesn't.
21:42I hope you like Ginger.
21:47Thanks.
21:49So, uh, you teach music?
21:52Mm-hmm.
21:53I give lessons out of the house.
21:55Yes.
21:56That's how Wendy picked it up so young.
21:59She has a gift when she would play her music.
22:05Yeah.
22:05It's the only time she ever seemed to be at peace.
22:10The girl was just born on a stormy day.
22:15What do you mean?
22:19My sister's an alcoholic.
22:21She put her parents through hell.
22:23Stole from them.
22:26Wrecked the car twice before she was even 16.
22:29They spent their savings sending her in one rehab after another.
22:33She'd come home apologizing, crying like a little girl, and we'd think,
22:41Whew.
22:42It's all over.
22:44Finally, the spell is broken.
22:49But you never knew which Wendy you were gonna get.
22:55She came home stinking drunk to our father's funeral.
22:59Trashed the place.
23:06Took everything she could sell.
23:18That was the last straw.
23:21We had to cut her off.
23:23I could have done more.
23:24No, Mom.
23:25You did what the counselor said.
23:27You had to stop enabling her.
23:30Did you go looking for her?
23:32She wouldn't return our calls.
23:34Then her phone was disconnected.
23:35We looked into a private investigator.
23:38It was so expensive.
23:42Wendy's stubborn.
23:43She doesn't want to be found.
23:44That's that.
23:47I prayed that she would come home and she was ready, but...
23:53Time just kept piling up.
24:06She's dead, isn't she?
24:10That's why you're here.
24:15I don't really know.
24:20Yeah.
24:22I think so.
24:30Baby girl.
24:36I'm sorry.
24:40Did you know she had a daughter?
24:44What?
24:47Are you sure?
24:48Oh, yeah.
24:49She's almost 18.
24:51She actually plays guitar, too.
24:54She's really good.
24:55Her name's Elsie.
24:58I don't know.
24:59She's...
25:00She's amazing.
25:03I have a granddaughter.
25:07Yeah, you do.
25:13My mom.
25:15She was sitting right here where I am.
25:19This is where she sang me the song.
25:24When you sang it in prison, I couldn't believe you remember that.
25:28It's like...
25:28My brain was holding onto it for dear life.
25:33Like it couldn't let it go.
25:36I've never been able to get it out of my head.
25:42Just...
25:43Just...
25:44Keep chasing me.
25:55I can see her now.
26:02The way she used to rock back and forth.
26:08She looked...
26:10Kind of sleepy when she sang.
26:13She had this growler voice.
26:23What happened to her?
26:27Whatever it is, you can tell me.
26:30I'll understand.
26:47We were both...
26:51Wind up broken.
26:53Wind up broken.
26:58I'm sorry.
27:00I swear I wasn't snooping.
27:02Maya went tearing through your bag
27:04And I saw the chords
27:06And I got curious
27:07So I guess I was snooping a little
27:10You didn't tell me you were a musician
27:15I'm not
27:17My ex was
27:20Lost a girl but kept the song
27:22Wish you'd break your heart
27:25This song
27:26Is amazing
27:27I'd love to try it out in my next set
27:29Would that be weird?
27:31Do you have any other songs?
27:36Is that blood?
27:39Mommy
27:39From the girl in the mud
27:42What are you talking about, sweetie?
27:45How does Fred
27:45Was sleeping in the mud?
27:49You should go
27:50She doesn't know what she saw
27:52Now
27:53Don't, I'm calling the cops
27:54She doesn't know
27:56She doesn't know what she
27:59Don't press me
28:00Ever touch me
28:02Stop screaming
28:03Get over me
28:04Get over me
28:06Listen to me
28:09No
28:10No
28:13No
28:14No
28:15No
28:16No
28:16No
28:16No
28:16No
28:18No
28:19No
28:20No
28:20No
28:22No
28:22No
28:23No
28:23Oh, my God.
28:58I don't.
29:01Don't you ever touch me.
29:06I remember.
29:09I remember everything.
29:20Next time on Sacred Lies.
29:22Elsie?
29:23Where are you, Elsie?
29:25He's telling Alvia a story.
29:27You took her here.
29:28But what is in this room?
29:30Where does this story end?
29:32Can you get me Detective Wally, please?
29:34I can't hold.
29:36God damn it.
