Let's go this way.
What's this?
- Well, thank you. - Oh, you're welcome.
- How's my hat? - Very pretty.
Thank you.
(LAUGHING)
(POLICE SIREN CHIRPING)
RHETT (OVER SPEAKER): Step away from the girl!
ALEX: All right, all right. It's just Rhett.
- (RHETT LAUGHING) - Come on.
- (SIREN CHIRPING) - Come on.
It's just my friend.
RHETT: We're in for a nasty rainy season.
I don't know what we're gonna do on the Fourth if it keeps going like this.
ALEX: What does that mean, the fireworks are a wash?
Not a chance, buddy-boy. The show goes on.
We've been running the fireworks show here for as long as we can remember.
Biggest extravaganza on the Eastern Seaboard.
- What? - Yeah.
- That's a slight exaggeration. - Oh, I don't think so.
Maybe the lower third of North Carolina.
- Oh, bullshit. - God.
Bullshit. Who does it better than we do? Come on.
- That's the answer. Thank you. - Nobody does it better than we do, officer.
- Nobody. We do it best. - Yep.
End of the line, everybody out.
Pretty isolated out here.
- I got neighbors. They're not too far. - Hm.
Oh.
Pleasure as always, ma'am.
- All right. - OK.
- Good night. Thank you. - Oh...
Come here.
(CHUCKLING)
Shut up.
(STARTS ENGINE)
- ALEX: Thank you. - RHETT: You got it, buddy.
- ALEX: All right. I'll see you tomorrow. - RHETT: You bet.
- ALEX: We'll talk fireworks. - RHETT: Yes, we will.
I guess your arthritis is smarter than the both of us.
Dad? Where have you been?
JOSH: Out having fun.
Why are they still up?
Probably too much candy.
Hey, guys.
Where have you been?
I'm sorry I'm late, honey.
I just... I got caught in a rainstorm
and I wasn't expecting to be out this late, OK?
But you weren't here to tuck me in.
I know.
But I'm here now. I can tuck you in now.
Yeah. I just missed you a lot.
You did? I missed you, too.
I missed you more.
No way. Not possible.
- It is possible. - (CHUCKLES)
Good night.
Dad! What are you doing up there?
It's Mom's place!
I'll be right there. Hold on.
You're not supposed to be up there.
I know. I know.
Look, I know that it's Mom's place.
And it's always gonna be her place.
Not like you care.
Hey. Hey... Come on, bud, I'm doing the best I can, all right?
- It's Mom's place. - I know that it's Mom's place.
(DOOR SQUEAKING)
KATIE: Thank you for everything.
Oh, kiddo, you're welcome.
Just call me when you land somewhere safe, OK?
Do you promise? You take this.
Be careful.
(ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPING)
Hey, it's me.
I know I should have called a long time ago...
...but I just wanted to let you know that...
...I've ended up somewhere safe.
(SIGHS)
(SCREEN DOOR CLOSES)
- (GASPS) - That's your handwriting.
Now you lied to me, Mrs. Feldman.
You told me you didn't know her, but that's not the case, is it?
So, open the door, we're gonna have that little talk now.
When you get a warrant, I'll open the door.
Well, don't go away, I'll get that warrant.
- (ROCK MUSIC PLAYS) - (OVERLAPPING CHATTER)
I'm here for a pick up.
- (LAUGHING) - I don't want you to get in trouble.
I just came by to see you because...
(GIGGLING)
I gotta go. All right, quit messing around and get back to work.
- See you tonight! - Bye!
KATIE: We spent hours talking at dinner last night.
I haven't had that much fun in a long time.
Hm, to think it all started with a bike.
I thought you said that was him just being Southern.
Ah, yeah, I was lying. He was making a move.
- What? - (JO LAUGHS)
You know, some people just need a little nudge.
I could tell you weren't gonna get there on your own.
- Yeah, well, you're lucky it worked out. - Yep.
- You want anything? - Oh, no, I'm good.
(SLOW-TEMPO SONG PLAYS)
(INAUDIBLE CHATTER)
So, um... I fixed the floor.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.
Hm.
If you wanna check it out.
Yes.
OK.
- OK. - OK.
(GULLS CRYING)
(BUOY BELL CLANGING)
(ALEX LAUGHING)
- Angel Cake's the fireworks. - Oh.
No, they're elegant, they don't cost as much.
They come in red, white and blue, you're really gonna love these.
I think we should go with these this year. Take a look.
Highway Patrol just faxed these docs for you to sign, boss, if you don't mind.
RHETT: All right. That's fine. Anyway... Oh, you know what?
We could go with the, uh... What's the other one?
Black Cat Aerial Phenomenons or the Whistling Dixies.
The Whistling Dixies. I mean, they really whistle "Dixie." How cool is that?
No, it really is. Where did I leave that?
- In the can. - Shit, you're right.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Alex, let me get this for you.
- RHETT: Bass, where did you put it? - BASS: In the can.
Rhett, I gotta... I forgot something back at the house.
- RHETT: What? - I'll be back in a minute.
- (ALARM BEEPING) - Hey, hey...
I know, I know, I know.
Kevin, can I see you in my office?
- Yeah, I'm in the middle of something... - Now!
KATIE: Oh... (CHUCKLES)
- All right, I'll see ya later, Katie. - All right. I'll see you tomorrow, Frankie.
ALEX: Erin?
(SCOFFS)
What is this, some kind of a joke?
What is this?
- I don't know. - You don't know?
"Special bulletin, person of interest,
suspect murder, first degree. Erin Tierney"?
- Who did you kill? - No, it's not what you think.
Why don't you tell me what I'm supposed to think then?
Because I see your picture on a wanted sign saying you're a suspect for murder.
Your name is Erin.
Erin.
- Please, Alex, let me explain. - I trusted you.
I let you into our lives, for Godsakes, my kids.
My kids trusted you. What the hell am I supposed to tell my kids?
That I was stupid, I was a stupid young girl
that got into a relationship with the wrong man.
- How am I supposed to believe that? - Who hurt me.
How am I supposed to believe anything that comes out of your mouth?
I don't even know your first name, for Chrissakes.
I'm so sorry. I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
The last thing that I wanted to do is hurt anybody.
- You should go. - Especially you.
You should go. You should probably go before Rhett sees that.
(SIGHING)
What's up, boss?
You tell me.
What's this?
That's... that's not what you think.
Tell me what it is.
What's in your water bottle?
Your water bottle, you carry it with you everywhere you go. What's in it?
- Water. - Yeah? Give it to me.
Why?
(SNIFFS)
As of now, you are suspended without pay, pending internal review.
I need you to hand over your badge and your gun.
Don't take the badge, boss.
MAN: Do you have any idea how many rules you've broken?
LEXIE: Hey, Miss Katie!
You know, I knew you were crazy, but I didn't think you were stupid.
- I need to find her. - You don't do it like this.
You know that. You know that!
I need your badge and your gun.
KEVIN: I need to find her, Jim.
Kevin, you sent out a nationwide APB.
She's not a murderer for Chrissakes, she's your goddamn wife.
KEVIN: Something smells amazing.
Hey, you're home early.
Oh, you're killing me.
(BIKE CHAIN SPINNING)
(GASPING)
- How was your day? - Tiring, sweaty, hot, horrible.
KATIE: Lovely. What's this for?
KEVIN: What's it for? I need an excuse to give my wife a gift?
- KATIE: It's beautiful. Thank you. - KEVIN: You like it?
KATIE: Yeah. It's really gorgeous.
- KEVIN: May I? - KATIE: Of course.
KEVIN: This is the best pie I've ever tasted.
Yeah? It's a new recipe.
It's so good. So good.
Thank you. Are you done with this?
Yeah.
You think I'm done with that?
No, I was just... coming to pour you some more.
You want to say something, you say it.
I don't have anything to say.
You got that look.
I don't have any look.
What do you want from me?
Nothing. I don't want anything.
KEVIN: How many times do you have to hear me say I'm sorry?
You won't let it rest.
Every moment of every day you want me to apologize. You make me...
No, it's fine, I promise. It's fine.
I'm just gonna go put on some coffee.
- You think you can walk away from me? - No.
- (GLASS BREAKING) - Huh?
- Kevin! (GRUNTING) - What do you want from me, baby?
- I give you everything! Everything! - (YELLING)
Stop, please. Kevin, stop, please!
- What do you want from me, huh? - (SOBS) Please. Please, please...
No! (GASPS)
(KNIFE CLATTERS ON FLOOR)
Stop! Please.
No!
- Listen to me. You listen to me. - (COUGHING)
- You know that I love you. - Stop!
I gave you the necklace for a reason, baby! Why did you make me do this?
- Stop fighting, stop fighting. - Kevin!
I love you so much, and you want to walk away from me?

(PANTING, SOBBING)
- JO: Katie, what's going on? - I've gotta get out of here.
I've been here for too long.
Whoa, what are you talking about? You just got here.
It's exactly what I was afraid of, Jo.
The things I've done... I can't stay.
OK, Katie, let's just calm down, OK? We can figure this out. All right?
Wait, does Alex know that you're leaving?
Who do you think was the one who told me to go?
Alex wants nothing to do with me anymore.
And frankly, I don't blame him.
Look, Katie, if you run now, you're taking the easy way out.
The easy way? You think this is easy for me?
You obviously don't know me.
Katie, you have people here who care about you.
I think that you should stay here and face whatever this is.
Face things the way you face things?
Excuse me?
Come on, Jo. You know you're stuck here and for no good reason.
At least I know when it's time for me to leave.
Yeah, you're right, Katie.
But some of us don't have that choice.
Good luck, Katie.
(GULLS CRYING)
(BUOY BELL CLANGING)
Katie!
(FERRY HORN BLOWING)
Excuse me.
Excuse me. Katie!
Katie! Hey.
- Alex. - Look...
- I can't. - ...I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry. Please, just...
...just stay.
No. You were right.
- I have to go. - (HORN HONKING)
- He's gonna find me. He's gonna find us. - Whoa, wait. Just tell me the truth.
Just tell me what happened, and if you're in trouble,
we can get the police involved. I can talk to Rhett.
You don't understand, Alex, he is the police.
My husband's a cop in Boston. That's why he could do all that.
I don't care, all right? I'm not gonna let him hurt you anymore.
It doesn't even matter.
I can't put you through that. I can't put your family through that.
He's always gonna be there.
- He doesn't quit. - Katie. Listen to me.
I'm in love with you.
And if you stay, I promise...
...there's no safer place in the world than right here with me.
God, I'm so scared.
I know you are, but you don't have to be.
You don't have to be scared.
I love you.
Please stay.

We're open Tuesday through Sunday from ten to ten,
and we're located at 631 Yacht Basin, just past the Frying Pan.
If you need to leave a message for Maddie, just wait for the beep.
Thank y'all.
You just become dark, like there's...
...the life is just sucked out of you.
You just felt worthless, like there's no point.
And I just stuck up for him all the time. (SNIFFLING)
'Cause it wasn't his fault. It was mine.
And you're completely alone.
It's OK.
- It's OK. - (SNIFFLING)
You're OK now.
I've never really talked about it.
I'm so glad you're here.
And I am, too. (SNIFFLING)

Lexie, I'm a policeman. OK?
And I've just driven a very long way to be here today
and I would like to speak with someone a little taller.
OK?
Where's your uniform?
- My uniform? - Yeah.
Hm. (CHUCKLES)
I'm a detective. You know what a detective is, Lexie?
- No. - No?
Well, detectives catch the bad guys. That's what I do.
Now, also, I look for missing people. (SNIFFS)
That's what I'm doing here, Lexie. I'm looking for a missing person.
Now...
...have you seen this woman?
No.
- You sure? - I'm sure.
You wouldn't lie to a policeman, would you?
No.
OK. OK. (SNIFFS)
- How much is that? - $1.50.
$1.50.
Two dollars.
- LEXIE: Thank you. - KEVIN: You keep it.
Bye.
You ready?
ALEX: Oh! You're getting big!
LEXIE: Do policemen always wear uniforms?
ALEX: Uh... I'm sure they take them off when they get home from work.

Huh?
I saw you today.
He doesn't know you like I know you.

You want me to walk away. Is that it?
Yes. Go.
No, see, you don't tell me what to do.
You hurt me.

Thank you.
For being such a good friend.
You deserve this, Katie.
You belong here.
Hi.
So, there's a letter here. It's for you.
- Oh, yeah? What is it? - Mm-hm.
I'll be over with the kids.
ALEX: How's it going?
WOMAN: To the woman my husband loves.
If you're reading this then it must be true.
He loves you. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, or else...
...he wouldn't have given this to you.
I can only hope that you feel the same way about him as he does about you.
But I wanted to write you a letter
because I wanted you to know one very, very important thing.
I'm so glad he's found you.
I only wish I could be there...
...somehow... to meet you.
Maybe in some ways, I am.
Outside of my husband
and my two beautiful children...
...you are the most important person in the world to me.
Because I'm gone and they're yours now.

The thought of you... it gives me hope.
Hope that Alex remembers what it feels like
to be young and in love.
Hope that Josh finds somebody to fish with again.
- (NO AUDIBLE DIALOGUE) - Hope that Lexie has somebody there
to help her on her wedding day.
I hope that one day my family is whole again.

...somehow, I'm there with all of you.
Watching over all of you.
