[door creaks]
[gasps]
I--I couldn't help what happened.
Please forgive me, please.
I'm-- I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
None of this should be any surprise to you.
I don't see what you're so upset about.
David, are you kidding me?
She didn't show up to her own mother's funeral.
I'm walking right into that house,
and we're having it out once and for all.
Look, it's just raina being raina.
She'll snap out of it.
Maybe.
But I still think this is a big waste of time.
[sighs]
[knocks on door]
raina.
Come on.
I know you're in there.
-Hi. -Hi.
So you want to do this right here on the front porch?
I guess not.
You want some water?
Sure.
So, you missed a hell of a funeral reception.
Everybody wondered where you were.
I didn't.
I knew you were here in the bottom of a pill bottle.
I haven't had anything in over a year.
You know this.
I'm still going to meetings.
From the smell of it, I'd say you should switch to aa.
Why do you always do that, alex?
Why do you have to be right about everything?
I didn't want to see our mother in a coffin, okay?
I couldn't do it.
She'd still be here if I hadn't gone out that night.
And where exactly were you?
I was at the bar.
I am not proud of myself,
and I know that you hate me for it
because all I want to do right now is curl up and die, too.
Raina, I'm....
Mom was always on your side, even during your troubles.
I was out of control, okay?
Mom was the only one that would talk me through it,
all through rehab.
You didn't even come see me.
Did you want me to?
Of course I did. You're my sister.
I didn't know.
We've been so angry at each other for years.
You know, mom wanted me to give you a real job.
She called me last month, begging me to do it.
Maybe it's not a bad idea,
make it be a family business.
I don't know anything about fashion.
Plus, we'd kill each other in one day.
I've never known what I wanted, alex.
Maybe I will someday.
Oh, so that's your excuse for shutting me out
and the whole world.
You don't understand how I feel.
Let me grieve in my own way.
How dare you?
I don't understand?
She was my mother, too, raina.
Fine.
-Alex! -What?
I love you.
[phone rings]
what are you doing? I told you not to call me this week.
I know I promised, but I need to see you soon.
I'm lonely, david.
And I'm busy.
My wife just buried her mom.
It's not a good time.
When am I going to see you again?
Look, I will call you later, I promise.
David, wait.
Well, that went well, I guess.
Yeah, I guess.
I hate to say I told you so.
Seriously, david?
Who were you just talking to?
We're closing on that really big deal,
the higgins property, next week.
Turns out we're going to make condos there, anyway.
Condos are nice.
[engine revs]
I didn't expect you to come in this week.
You really didn't have to.
Girl's got to keep busy.
Plus I need the tips.
Well, you know if you need money,
you can always come to me and mom.
I appreciate that, thank you.
Thank you.
Yes, great, great.
I will have my assistant, mary, set something up.
Okay, speak then.
You need to leave in 20 minutes.
Your rideshare is here, but I told them to wait.
Oh, and david is on line 3.
You're amazing.
Yes, darling, I got the flowers.
What are you apologizing for now?
I got a meeting in a few minutes,
but I just wanted to call
and wish you good luck on fashion week.
I know it's a big deal for you.
Well, you have a good vacation, too.
I don't know, a couple of weeks, home alone,
it all sounds kind of sad.
Convenient timing.
I'm sorry?
Nothing.
Look, I can't talk.
The car is outside for me, and I have to catch my plane.
All right, just do one thing for me, okay?
Yes, darling, what is it?
Go kick some ass.
Thanks.
I come back Friday. I'll call you from the hotel.
Can't wait; love 'ya.
[phone rings]
I was wondering when you'd call.
Ready to be happy?
Tomorrow morning, first thing,
you drive out to the lake house.
I am going to finish up some things around the office
and meet you out there for lunch.
What's wrong with the hilton?
You promised me a real night out.
We cannot be seen together.
I'm pretty sure she suspects something.
Look, this is the gameplan, all right?
Are you in, or are you out?
You know I'm in.
Then I will see you tomorrow afternoon.
Damn it.
[sighs]
[coughs]
raina's keys are in the car.
I'll text you the address.
[doorbell rings]
hello, david, it's been a while.
Were you expecting your wife?
Like what you've done with the place.
Look, raina...
I have to admit, I've always been jealous of this place.
My sister has it all, doesn't she:
A hot, rich guy; million-dollar mansion?
She's even got the good fashion gig.
Got to love that, right?
Keeps her busy.
And while the cat's away....
Exactly.
Drink?
Screwdriver.
Screwdriver?
Why am I not surprised?
You know, you didn't show up to your mother's funeral.
Alex was pretty upset about that.
You have such an admirable grasp of the total obvious, david.
You know, I sling a lot of these at work.
You know, joey is really sweet,
but he's not going places, not like you.
What are you getting at?
[chuckles]
I just was not expecting this.
The last time that you and interacted,
you slapped me in the face really hard.
Yeah, well, that was then, and this is now.
I mean, a girl can change her mind, can't she?
What makes you think I'm still interested?
Because you are.
Look, I'm sure I'm not the only kept woman
that you have hanging around,
but maybe you can squeeze me in.
Yeah, I might be able to arrange something.
You know that house out in the country where you
and alex used to go when you were kids?
Yeah, mother's house by the lake.
I bought it from her.
The perks of being big in construction.
Alex was always telling me how you two would
play hide-and-go-seek as kids out there.
What do you say we continue that tradition?
How totally inappropriate.
I love it.
Let's go to the bedroom.
I see you brought toys.
[chuckles]
now close your eyes and open up your mouth...
Because you are going to get a big surprise.
Surprised yet?
Get up.
Get up!
Closet safe.
I want what's in there.
Hurry up.
You're making a big mistake.
[laughs]
no, you made the mistake, mr. Hand in the cookie jar.
Now do it, or I'll blow your head off.
This'll do.
Now.
There is damn near
a quarter-million dollars in there.
Take it; it's yours.
But you better disappear forever.
Oh, I intend to, david.
That's the whole point.
And guess what?
You're going to disappear forever, too.
[gunshot]
[phone buzzes]
[groans]
oh my head.
[buzzing continues]
what the hell?
[knock on door]
-joey. -Hey.
I've been trying to call you.
So I guess you haven't heard the news.
What are you talking about?
It's about david.
[sighs]
well, the housekeeper discovered the body.
We're thinking time of death was,
like, 10:00 last night, something like that.
And we're just about finished up here.
Can we move him?
Yeah.
Joey, this is insanity.
Is that david they just took away?
Look, I think we should just wait
and see what's going on first.
Hey, I'm detective randall rhodes, and you are?
Raina winston.
My sister lives in that house.
Can you tell me exactly what's going on?
I tried to call her, but she's not answering her phone.
Well, your sister, she's on her way back from new york.
She took the first flight out this morning.
She'll be arriving soon.
Over there is my boss, lieutenant sarzo.
Do you mind answering a few questions
while I wait for your sister?
Of course.
Mary, I'm on my way there now.
Did the police say anything else to you?
No, just that renalda had phoned them
about a body in the house.
They wouldn't give me any details.
Okay, okay, I have to go.
Just keep your phone on, please.
Thanks.
She's here.
Hey, I came as soon as I heard.
Alex, I am so sorry.
This is a nightmare.
Don't--don't touch me.
I feel like I'm going to be sick.
We can do this later if you want.
No, I'd rather get it out of the way.
Okay, if you'll step this way.
[clears throat]
so the safe in the bedroom was mostly empty.
The cash that you mentioned on the phone was gone.
Probably knew they couldn't fence the jewels.
Whoever it was knew exactly where to look and what to take.
Was there any physical evidence?
No signs of forced entry.
And something odd,
the entire house security camera system was deactivated
just prior to the incident, certain footage erased, too.
The system was passkey encoded to mr. Maloney's cellphone,
which could mean he did all that himself,
or someone erased it after the fact.
So he might have let her in.
Her?
It could've been anyone, really.
I believe that my husband was having multiple affairs.
Were you aware of who these women were?
Most of them, yes.
I knew holly personally.
Did you ever act on that info, divorce proceedings?
No.
I was hoping that we could still work through it somehow.
And it was a rocky marriage, but I still cared about him.
Fair enough.
I'm sorry for your loss.
[knocks on door]
who is it?
Let me in, holly, it's alex.
Nice decor.
I see david spared no expense setting you up.
Look, what do you want from me?
I spoke to the cops already on the phone.
I'm supposed to go in for questioning tomorrow.
And what exactly are you planning to tell them?
Alex, this is all so awful,
and I'm so sorry for everything, but I would never hurt him.
I was in love with david.
He let someone into our house last night,
then he turned off the cameras,
someone he knew,
someone who knew exactly how much cash we had in our safe.
I don't care about money.
I just wanted him.
You can punish me all you want.
I should be punished.
I'm guilty of trying to take your husband away from you.
But I would never do anything to hurt him.
I would never hurt him.
I guess we're all guilty of something, huh?
[sobbing]
[phone beeps]
[phone rings]
hello?
Hello, gloria.
What do you want? I thought we were done.
The situation has become complicated.
I still need your help.
Well, I don't trust you anymore.
You didn't tell me that you were going to kill david.
You're right, I didn't.
So who says I did?
You were alex's assistant for four years
and now have $10,000 in your bank account.
How would that look to the police
if someone tipped them off?
Now you've got the money you were owed
from your old boss, alex.
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
You'll do as you're told.
Am I making myself clear?
Crystal.
Now listen very carefully.
Thank you all for coming.
David wasn't really a particularly religious man.
But I know he would like to thank each and every one of you.
David was a man of generosity and compassion.
In the days ahead,
I'd like to remember him for all his achievements in his life.
And he was a good friend and a good husband.
Thanks.
I'm sorry for your loss.
I'm not sure if you want me here, alex,
but I have to let you know....
Save it. There's nothing to discuss.
At least you showed up to this funeral.
Alex, we came to show our support.
Please leave now.
Fire and ice.
We've always been like that:
Big fights and no damage control.
Let's hope we can find our way back.
I think she'll come around.
I know she will.
I just have a really bad feeling.
Let's go.
Hey, you'll get through this.
[knocks on door]
what can I do for you, officers?
Do you mind if we come in?
Yeah.
Have a seat.
Wh-what is this?
Our dna tests all came back inconclusive,
but our people were able to pull images
from three cameras in the area surrounding your sister's house.
All just so happens to be from the night of the murder.
It appears to be a dead ringer for your vehicle.
We were able to trace the license number
from a scanner at a stoplight.
I'm afraid that matches, as well.
I was here alone that night, I told you.
You can track my gps on my phone.
That doesn't mean a dang thing.
You could have very well left your phone here.
I mean, I think that would've been a good idea, myself.
Anyone at all who might have seen you
come home, a date maybe?
Please, be candid.
No, I mean, I don't know.
[scoffs]
well....
We'd like to have a look around your place.
Of course. I have nothing to hide.
Good.
All right.
Okay.
Nervous, ms. Winston?
This is my mother's home.
She wouldn't have liked this.
Duly noted.
Well, well, well.
Mm-mm.
Whew!
So, getting back to the whole candid thing,
are you the kind of sisters who share everything?
Figure that's about $250k,
which is exactly how much was stolen, right?
Mm-hmm.
I don't know how this got here.
You're going to have to do better than that.
Now, let's go through this again from the top.
There's nothing to go through.
This isn't my money, and I didn't kill my brother-in-law.
You have the right to remain silent.
If you give up the right to remain silent...
What? No!
...Anything you do say can and will
be used in court against you.
You have the right to an attorney.
If you cannot afford one,
one will be provided for you by the courts.
I didn't do it. Why don't you believe me?
It's risky, lieutenant.
With evidence like this,
charges will be thrown right out of the window.
Think about it:
The mistress doesn't even have an alibi, either.
She could've very well have been the....
The profile on raina winston fits.
She's got a criminal record,
a history of alcohol blackouts
and a rich sister who hates her.
We're fools if we don't at least sweat this woman down.
All right, let's go.
I appreciate your kind words.
It's a terrible tragedy, and I'm just trying to keep busy.
We have been a small boutique, but we have interest
in a major department store chain,
and I'm going to have a sit-down with them while I'm in new york.
Okay, thank you for your time.
[sighs]
well, your trip is set up,
your flight is booked for the day after tomorrow,
and you get back Saturday.
And all those arrangements are set up, too.
You are a godsend, mary.
I swear I had the executive assistant curse
before you came along.
You weren't cursed.
Gloria was a crazy woman.
Good riddance.
You know, it's funny, I feel like you were
the closest thing that I've ever had to a friend.
You never had a school bestie?
No, it was just raina and I.
Our problem was we were always fighting.
Well... Sometimes we're richer than we think, you know?
[phone rings]
yeah, who's this?
Joey, it's me.
They arrested me this morning.
They're about to book me into city jail.
They think that I killed david.
What evidence do they have?
I need someone to post bail.
I called alex, but she's not answering.
Joey, I'm scared.
We're going to get you out, I promise.
Okay, thank you.
Are you going to say anything?
Do you really think that I came into your house
and killed your husband?
Alex, someone is setting me up.
They had your car on camera.
They have the money.
Are you hearing me?
How stupid would I be to put that in my place
and then have the cops search my house without a warrant?
I don't know what you were thinking.
The evidence that they're holding against me is thin.
The bail isn't even set that high.
One million isn't high?
I just need 10 percent.
And what am I supposed to do, jusalex, for .... Sakes.S?
What am I supposed to do, bail you out on this?
You have to believe me, I didn't do it.
[scoffs]
you know, the first time you got in trouble,
you also said it wasn't your fault,
and you broke our mother's heart when she found out
that you stole from her.
Alex, I am begging you....
When we were kids, mother gave you everything,
and I was the pariah.
Look, you're not thinking straight; she loved both of us.
Don't try to deny it, raina.
You loved being her favorite,
and I made good, and you made the gutter,
and you finally did something about it, didn't you?
Okay, take that back.
You know that that's not true.
Mother would be so ashamed of you right now.
You let mother die!
How could you say that, alex?
How could you?
I need you to help me, please.
I don't need to do anything.
Damn it.
I'd like to set bail for my sister.
She was brought in earlier.
Oh, my...
Yes, I booked ms. Winston in myself.
You look an awful lot like her.
I know. Can we just do this?
I'm afraid it's already been done.
What are you talking about?
The bail's been paid by that gentleman.
Joey.
Alex.
What a surprise.
I was unaware you had that kind of money to throw away for bail.
I put my bar up for collateral.
How kind.
Well, I guess she didn't need my help after all.
Good luck to the both of you.
Alex...
You know she didn't do it.
She needs us to believe in her.
I don't know what to believe.
Ms. Winston, you're free to go.
[sobbing]
thank you so much.
It's okay, kiddo.
Now let's get you the hell out of here, all right?
Yeah.
Happy birthday, old woman.
You were a mistake.
You never should've been born.
You've become a monster.
You've ruined my life.
I would've been free without you.
You should've gone away with marcie.
You destroy everything you touch, trinity.
You're right mother.
And guess what?
There's nothing that you can do about it.
Stay away from me. Don't touch me!
[screams]
[phone rings]
hey.
How's tricks?
She's out on bail now.
Good.
I also need access into alex's email.
Can you do that?
I hacked into her email when she fired me,
put spyware in her system.
Anything else?
Release the tape to the police.
On it.
So you holding up okay?
I talked to a public defender this morning.
He says the case against me is weak.
It could go either way.
I need to figure out who did this.
Someone set me up, joey.
Yeah, no, I think you're right.
Did david have any enemies?
Take your pick.
He's in the construction business.
Most of those guys are mobbed-up.
Mmm.
But I....
What are you thinking?
I don't even want to say what I'm thinking,
but david was rich, millions,
and I know for a fact he wasn't faithful,
and alex was never happy.
Now she's bound to inherit a fortune.
You don't think she would hire someone to...
No, I know my sister.
I have to believe that she wouldn't do something that evil,
especially let me take the fall for it.
I'm going to look into david a little.
I got a buddy who can help.
You've already done so much.
Not nearly enough.
[phone buzzes]
hello?
Ms. Winston? Lieutenant sarzo.
I'd like to schedule an interview with
you and your attorney, tomorrow if possible.
I'll have an officer reach out for a time to confirm.
We'll speak then. Thank you.
Okay.
It's the detective. She wants to see me tomorrow.
Look, we're going to figure this out.
Everything is going to be okay, all right?
-Yeah. -Yeah.
I was thinking about something alex
said to me when we were kids.
What's that?
She used to say that we were half a person
and that part of us was always missing because of that.
There was one time when we were playing hide-and-seek,
and she locked herself in the closet,
and she said she wouldn't come out until she felt whole.
What happened?
Then I got it open. I always do.
It wasn't easy.
I have to go. My interview's soon.
Be careful. That cop wants you bad.
I'll be over as soon as it's done, okay?
Okay, I'll see you.
[clears throat]
I'll come straight to the point: We have a new witness.
What witness? I was not informed of this.
A neighbor apparently saw ms. Winston's car
driving up to her house
just 45 minutes after david was murdered.
This was corroborated by the woman's husband.
They'll both testify in court
that it was ms. Winston in the car.
You failed to mention that you took a drive that night.
This is outrageous. That's sheer speculation.
There is no evidence of that.
How about this, mr. Bellingham?
We also have security cam footage of you getting
into your car with what looks like that bag of money,
two blocks away from david's house.
Who is that? That's not me, I swear.
Not another word.
This is an ambush.
Your client has a history of alcoholism and blackouts,
and she looks damn loaded in this video.
You want to know what I think?
I think you're guilty as sin.
You just don't remember it.
That video is not admissible as evidence.
That's not what we think.
Well, on that we shall have to agree to disagree.
I think we're done here.
We're not done, ms. Winston.
Not another word.
We'll see you in court, detective sarzo.
[phone beeps]
you hear all that?
So we're still ruling out the sister?
Her alibi is airtight.
Start working on that court order.
I want raina winston's bail revoked.
That's going to take a day or two,
but I know the right judge.
We'll get it done.
Good.
Dear alex, I'm so sorry for our troubles.
Please understand that I want to try and make things right,
no matter what you think of me right now.
I swear on the grave of our mother
that I had nothing to do with david's death.
I'm going to work hard to prove that.
Whatever happens, we're the only family we have left.
I would never hurt you.
I have great empathy for you now, in your moment of loss.
You have all my love.
I believe in the best parts of both of us.
Your sister, raina.
See you in three days, sister.
Enjoy new york city.
[computer beeps]
don't worry, raina, you're going to have a chance
to show your poor sister alex
just how much you love her very soon.
I don't know what to do.
It was me, right there in that video,
and I don't remember it, not even a little bit.
Do you think it could've been alex, you know,
pretending to be you?
She'd never do that.
Well, if it was you,
it's not like you really confessed to murder.
It just looks bad, that's all.
Please tell me that you found something.
My guy did a pretty deep dive on david.
Just wish it was better news.
He had some shady stuff going down, but....
So nothing that helps us.
As far as figuring out who he might have pissed off
and why they would come after him so hard,
we can narrow it down to
a few hundred possible suspects if we had a few weeks.
I don't have a few weeks, joey.
We need to get you a real lawyer, raina.
I can borrow some money.
I'll keep digging,
but all my instincts tell me that david's a dead end.
All my instincts are telling me to run like hell.
Don't, they'll find you and arrest you,
and you'll be in even worse trouble.
Raina, no matter what happens, I will stand by you.
We know you're innocent.
I'm not going to let you fall.
Are those for your mom?
Yeah, I was going to drop it by her place later,
but, you know, I'm stuck here waiting for this place to open.
I'll do it.
I could use her particular words of wisdom right now.
Okay, well, call you later?
Mmm.
Hey, it's not over yet.
[phone dings]
raina, I'm very busy. What do you want?
Alex, I have made so mistakes, and I've told so many lies,
but I swear that I am innocent, and I can prove it.
I have new evidence.
What are you talking about?
I know who really killed david.
A witness has come forward,
but she doesn't want to talk to the police
unless she speaks to you first.
She's afraid for her life.
It's that holly stone girl, isn't it?
I can't say that over the phone.
Okay, we have to do this in person.
She's terrified to even answer her phone
or even go out in public.
Well then what, raina?
This is crazy.
I'm going to take her to the lake house,
you know the house that we used to go to when we were kids?
I told her that she'd be safe there.
Will you please just meet with us
as soon as you get back in town?
Raina, come on.
It's a matter of life and death, alex.
Please, just meet us there, and we'll explain everything.
Okay, I'll be there Saturday.
My flight's going to be late.
You won't regret this, promise.
I need to go.
Thank you.
I love you, sister.
There's no way on earth you could've
ever done this terrible thing.
People don't stop being good
just because they had a few drinks.
They make a few mistakes, sure,
but they don't start being evil.
I don't know.
You haven't heard the stories from my support group.
I've heard them all.
I just wish I was smart enough to figure it out.
You know, I've been thinking myself.
Your mother died less than two weeks before david did.
I know they ruled it an accident and all,
but what if it wasn't?
What if it was done by someone who really is evil?
So maybe I'm looking in the wrong direction.
Maybe the answer is closer to home.
You know, I'm one lucky old lady
to have a friend who brings me flowers.
They're actually from your son.
I'll see you Saturday for your birthday.
That means so much to me.
You get some rest.
Yeah, she's been in there for like an hour or so.
I checked, and the property is registered
to some old lady named faye jones.
I don't know if that's going to help you any, but there it is.
You've been a big help, believe me.
Oh my, you have a birthday coming up.
How nice.
[grunts]
[phone rings]
hey, what are you doing?
I was just closing early.
It has been pretty dead tonight.
Could you come by?
What's going on?
Your mom's got me thinking
about looking in a different direction.
There's nothing unusual.
What is this?
"dear marcie, my feelings about everything have not changed.
"you can apologize all you want,
"but it will never make right what you did.
"my life is now a living hell because of you,
"and one day I will find a way to get even.
S."
joey, oh my-- oh my god, oh my god.
What's wrong?
I think is from our birth mother.
You never even knew her name before?
The records were sealed when alex and I were adopted.
Look here, s.
This has to be her.
Okay, look, this is nuts.
There's no return address.
You're drawing some pretty fast conclusions.
What do you want to do,
go to the city records office or something?
Yes!
This letter is a direct threat to my mother,
and now she's dead.
And so is my sister's husband.
Maybe this is a connection somehow.
Help me, please.
You know I'm in.
Thank you.
You're here early.
Early bird catches the worm, right?
What's this all about?
Stop right there.
So at first I just figured that we were going
to frame raina for robbing the money in david's safe.
I was happy to help with that,
and I helped you steal her car.
But you never told me that you were going to kill him.
Okay, grow up, get to the point.
So I've been thinking about this, every little detail,
and I realized that if alex were to die next,
and no one knew about it,
you could just slide right into her identity,
inherit everything.
Of course, you'd eventually have to kill raina, too, right?
Oh come on, trinity,
no witty comebacks, no veiled threats?
I guess you figured out my entire evil plan.
I guess I did.
That's why I want one million dollars every year
for the rest of my life.
You can afford it.
I'm not being greedy.
But, see, if those payments ever stop coming,
well, that'll be a problem for you.
[laughs]
of course I could just cash you out.
Stop right there.
Oh, have you ever fired a gun before, gloria?
I said stop right there.
Well, the safety's on, girl.
[gasps]
that's okay, shh.
The safety actually was on.
Shame.
[phone dings]
hello, raina.
Will you be here soon?
Are you sure you want to do this today?
I just got home.
It's important, alex, please.
Okay, I'll be there about 5:30.
Raina, I don't know how I feel about all this.
I promise that I will make it clear.
Please, trust me.
Trust has always been hard for us, hasn't it?
Yes.
I'll see you at the lake house soon.
I'll be waiting, sister.
We'll be waiting.
This was all the rest they could dig up.
Check this out.
They said it was related to your adoption,
some kind of sealed file that got unsealed
about a year ago by a family member.
Did they say who that family member was?
No, but I don't think they can give out that info.
It looks like some sort of nondisclosure agreement.
A lot of legalese.
But it was signed by my mom.
And bingo, now we know who "s" is:
Sally dryden, 26, my birth mother.
Okay, nancy drew.
What about the address?
Right here: 6750 crocker street, culver city,
if she even lives there still.
I think it's worth a shot.
-Okay, let's go. -All right.
Happy birthday, faye.
Oh, you startled me.
Well, you didn't think I'd forget, did you?
I thought you had important things to do.
Nothing's more important than your birthday.
Where's joey?
Oh, he'll be along soon.
Honey, I apologize.
I thought maybe I was forgetting things.
You want to know something?
You remind me of my mother.
Are you okay?
-That's not new at all. -Honey, what are you--
my god, raina.
[gasps]
-[knocking] -faye?
It's me, mike, come to help you fix your wi-fi like we said.
I'm just going to let myself in, okay?
Damn it.
Faye?
Mrs. Jo...
Mrs. Jones, mrs. Jones.
Help, help!
[knock on door]
who is it?
My name is raina.
Get out of here.
Please....
I said get the hell out of here, trinity.
I don't know who you think I am.
Who's trinity?
Evil!
Please no.
You're one of her sisters, aren't you?
My sister's name is alex.
She's not the only one, is she?
Come in, please, come in.
My name is raina winston...
And by the time you see this video, I'll be dead.
[phone dings]
I'm sending this to the police
as my confession before I commit suicide.
I must bare my soul.
I can no longer live with the choices that I have made.
I have committed unforgivable sins on my sister,
I tried to kill joey's mother,
and that wonderful woman meant everything to me.
And she is dead, and it is all my fault.
And that is why I'm making this video.
Sarzo. I got something to send you.
You are not going to believe this.
Where is this sally dryden?
[phone rings]
yeah?
Oh my god.
Okay, I'll be there as soon as I can.
What's going on?
It's my mom. She's in the hospital.
She's in critical condition.
I have to go to her.
Okay, well, I'm going, too.
No, no, no, no, no, you have to stay here
and talk to this man.
This is important.
Take my phone.
I'll call you when I get a burner phone, all right?
Joey....
You can tell me later.
All right.
Ms. Winston, please come to the door.
You're only making this harder on yourself.
Lieutenant, wait, wait.
We just got in through the back.
She's not here.
She left her cellphone on the kitchen table,
probably because we were going to track her,
and she figured we'd be coming for her.
Okay, plan b: Issue an apb out for raina winston.
By midnight, she'll have nowhere to run.
Let's go.
You, with me.
Go, go.
My wife's dead.
This is your birth mother.
Sorry for my reaction earlier,
but you look and sound just like trinity.
The three of you were born to my wife, sally.
I only married her after you were born.
She was tortured, even then, by what happened.
What did happen?
Your adopted mother could only afford
to take you and your sister.
It was her sophie's choice just to have two.
But any one of you could've become trinity.
What she became...
Was a monster.
I believe it; I've seen the damage.
No, you haven't.
You didn't live it.
Trinity was 16 when I married her mother.
She was--
she was violent, immoral.
She made our lives hell.
She drove sally mad.
She blamed your...
Your adoptive mother for...
For not taking her.
A letter to our mother.
By the time she was 18, trinity was...
Beyond hope.
She'd done so many horrible things.
One night when I was out, she, uh...
She attacked sally.
My wife died in the hospital.
Oh my god, I'm so sorry.
I tried to tell the police what happened.
They wouldn't-- they wouldn't believe me.
Soon after, she tried to kill me and left me for dead.
I've, uh...
I lived in fear ever since that she might come back.
Mr. Barrister, I can't imagine what you've been through.
But I think she has come back,
and I think she's responsible
for killing my sister's husband and maybe my mother.
Yeah, you see, it's all a big game to trinity.
It's a game I lost a long time ago.
This is jane craig with channel 6 news.
I got to live with that every day.
...For raina winston,
now suspected of first-degree murder.
Can you turn that up?
Yeah.
...Murdered her sister's husband
on the night of July 29th.
Ms. Winston's bail was revoked this morning by a state judge
when new evidence came to light.
The police believe the suspect has fled the area.
If you have any information regarding her whereabouts,
please contact the lapd.
It's been trinity this whole time.
[phone rings]
excuse me.
Hello, who is this?
Raina, it's me, alex.
I'm at mother's old lake house.
I just saw the news.
The police are looking for you.
I figured that you would be with joey,
so I tracked down his number.
It was a longshot, but I guess it worked out.
I want to help you.
Come here so I can hide you.
Three days ago you thought I was guilty.
That was then. You're my sister.
You're right: I think someone's setting us up.
Come here, and we'll figure it out.
Then we can go to the police, try to get them to understand.
Okay, I'll see you soon.
I love you.
Alex has never said I love you to me her entire life.
That's got to be trinity.
Well, I'm screwed.
I mean, the cops are looking for me.
Well, if you want my advice, I'd get the hell out of town.
If you're going to go out there and settle this,
you're going to need some protection.
Here, take it.
You only get one shot, so make it count.
My car is parked outside.
I just bought it last year. She won't recognize it.
I don't know what to say.
You just get out of this town.
You get out of here, go.
[engine starts]
she hasn't regained consciousness yet.
But she just stabilized just before I got here.
Is she going to be okay?
Yeah, I think so.
But you're all over the news.
You need to stay hidden or turn yourself in.
Yeah, well, there's something I have to do first.
What?
Just take care of faye.
I love you both.
Raina, what are you going to do?
Raina?
Hello, raina.
Hi, alex.
We're going to figure this out, I promise.
I'll hire the best lawyers.
I know that you're innocent, raina,
and I promise I'll stand by you.
What did you find out?
It's complicated.
She couldn't make it, but I'll explain everything inside.
Of course.
Come on.
I didn't let david change anything
when he bought the place from mother.
Bring back memories?
Of course it does.
Mother...
You and I, the games we used to play.
Do you remember when we were kids,
and we used to come here every weekend?
Of course.
I really loved this place.
I loved how peaceful it was,
big house with the three of us lost in nature.
We were always fighting.
Mother used to make us play hide-and-seek.
Do you remember why she used to do that?
It was a long time ago.
We were just kids.
I remember I was hiding in our secret spot,
and you were looking for me, all by yourself,
and you got scared...
Because it was so silent,
and you felt so lost.
I came and looked for you,
and you hugged me, and you cried,
and you said, "never leave me alone again."
that's why mother made us play that game,
so we always knew that we needed each other.
You told me you'd always remember that moment, alex.
We were children.
I guess I finally just pushed it away.
I worked so hard to be my own woman,
to not be you.
You were never me.
We just lost each other.
Now you're reaching out to me, which is not like you.
Why?
I need to know what you know.
I know who killed david and mother.
Tell me.
She's a woman who knew that everything
she ever believed in was a lie,
and she was told that at five years old, raina.
Could you imagine that?
Your mother sits you down and tells you the truth,
and you discover all the reasons why you felt so empty?
So alone?
What are you talking about, alex?
Who killed david?
You're scaring me.
Am I? Good.
Because you see, sister, this woman,
this monster who killed david,
she is capable of anything
because she knows that she already lost everything.
She embraced being bad because it was the truth,
and she loves being angry because it's strength,
and she knew that she could use that anger
to get everything that she never had.
Trinity.
[chortles]
I see you have daddy's gun.
Had a little talk, huh?
Pathetic old man.
And what's your plan, huh, frame me for killing david,
then take alex's place?
Yes, and I get all of her money, too.
And then you're going to die.
Want to know how?
Suicide.
You've already confessed to all the crimes.
I made sure of that.
Yeah, well, you can't just shoot me.
I can do whatever I want, sister.
Do you want to know how your real mommy died?
And why?
You killed her.
Because she wouldn't shut up about how I ruined her life.
She'd remind me every day.
Guess you had to be there.
You need help, trinity.
This is insane.
Raina, are you in there?
Alex, don't come in here.
Raina?
[grunts]
raina, are you okay?
Raina, are you in there?
Alex!
Raina, hello?
Raina!
Hello, sister.
So nice to make your acquaintance finally.
Weird, huh?
It's like looking at yourself in the mirror.
Who are you?
Well, our mother named me trinity
because there was three of us, not just two.
And I should've had everything that you had and more.
I should've been the alpha.
Alex, run, hide and seek.
-[gunshots] -[screams]
you sneaky little barmaid.
Very clever, you two.
Hide-and-seek, huh?
Well, guess what?
I didn't grow up here, but I still know how to play the game.
I also changed all the locks on the doors.
You can't get out of here without coming through me.
So I guess the game is already over.
Alex...
Come out, come out wherever you are.
She can't help you.
I'm coming.
Huh.
All right.
Are you having fun yet?
You're not going to win, alex.
I thought of everything.
And don't worry, your money will be well spent.
Hmm.
Where, where can she be?
[panting]
you're not very good at this, are you?
Raina, where are you?
Alex....
[panting]
alex.
Raina?
[panting]
sisters, come on, I'm getting bored.
[sobbing]
there you are.
Trinity, you were right.
You are the sister that we always longed for.
Now I see that.
Please, please don't do this, please.
Please.
No need for tears, sister.
I'll make it quick, just like it was for dear old david.
I promise: You won't feel a thing.
Tag, you're it.
You heard the lady: Drop the gun.
[grunting]
[gunshot]
[panting, grunting]
[gun clicks]
one shot.
I guess I made it count.
Now don't move.
[chuckles]
oh, you won't kill me.
I said don't move, please.
I'm a part of you, alex.
You're so weak.
[gunshot]
[panting]
I love you.
I love you, too.
This is still so strange for me,
being in her life again after all that,
and we have a whole houseful of memories to go through.
Mary, let me call you back.
Okay.
-Hello, sister. -Hi, sister.
Well, got to open the bar.
You guys play nice.
Mm-hmm.
I'll tell mom you're coming by later.
-Okay. -She can't wait to see you both.
I love you.
All right.
Way to go, sister.
Raina, could you do something for me?
Of course.
Never leave me alone again.
Never.
Mmm.
Come on.
