Kill me in cold blood?

Why not? Wouldn't

be the first time.

You'd be my first time.

But so help me God, you

hurt him, I'll do it.

Now put the gun down.

Now!

OK, OK.

It was him.

He was there.

Yeah. You're damn

right I was.

I was there the

whole time, Daniel.

You never had a clue.

Oh!

[ Gunshot ]

Unlike my sister,

when I start something,

I finish it.

[ Gunshot ]

Why would you do this?

It wasn't like I planned it

this way, but what the hell?

When I saw what happened,

it was like the answer

to all my problems.

Just think about it, Daniel.

Two of you in the middle

of a bitter divorce,

indictments coming

down for fraud...

You end up killing each other.

Wouldn't be

unreasonable to assume

this was all about your

little medicare scam

blowing up in your face,

would it?

You son of a b*tch! I had

nothing to do with that!

Neither did Taylor.

But who's going to know that

when you're both dead?

[ Click ]

[ Click ]

Dammit!

But unfortunately,

things didn't quite

work out the way I'd hoped.

And they say I'm the one

with psychiatric problems.

Yeah.

That was kind of a nice

touch, don't you think?

The media sure

ran with that one.

OK, that's enough!

Police!

This is the police! Put your

weapons to the ground!

Ellie...

Do it, slowly.

Drop them. To the floor.

Good. Now put your

hands above your heads.

Now!

All right.

Thank you, officers.

My name is William Shaw.

I'm unarmed, and I'm a doctor.

This man here with the gun

He's wanted in Concord.

He murdered my sister.

He's a liar!

It wasn't him!

He's innocent!

This isn't right!

You can't let this happen!

- Who you talking to?

- Don't let it happen!

I asked you a question!

Help him, dammit!

You've got the wrong

person! It was him!

Officer...

He's the killer! He confessed!

I heard it myself!

He's alive.

Before Will came to you,

he drugged a man and threw him

in the back of a car.

Wait! Please!

If you hurry, you

can still save him.

There's a man.

He's been drugged.

[Cop]:
what are

you're talking about?

In front of our apartment.

In a blue sedan.

In a blue sedan,

there's a man in his car.

- He's been drugged.

- He's dying, but there's time.

Hurry! He's dying.

I have no idea what

she's talking about.

Hurry, please!

This is ridiculous, officers!

I need a quick search.

We are now looking

for a blue sedan.

In front of 2700 Northcook.

The vehicle is

supposed to be located

in front of 2700 Northcook.

This is Carlucci.

I'm at 2700 Northcook

We are proceeding a search

of your vehicle.

We found it.

Good. I need you to

look in the back seat.

Do it now.

OK, this is ridi

We have a man unconscious.

Central, we need an ambulance.

I know nothing about this!

There's a syringe

with William's fingerprints

all over it.

There's a syringe there.

I'm sure it has his

fingerprints on it.

Do you see a syringe in the car?

Affirmative.

We have a syringe.

So what? I'm a doctor!

I use syringes all day long!

Anyone could have taken it.

They could've planted it there!

The ambulance is on its way.

He's still alive.

I'm checking the apartment.

Don't worry.

He's going to live.

It's not his time.

I guess he's right.

We'll have to wait and see

what the man in

the car has to say.

Hey, I wouldn't worry.

I mean, if you're as

innocent as you say you are,

I'm sure it'll all be

sorted out just fine, right?

No! No!

Stop! I'm innocent!

I didn't do a thing!

I'm innocent, you hear me!

No! I'm innocent!

Are you OK?

Hmm?

Yeah. You?

Yeah.

[ William screaming ]

[Cop]:
Let's take control of

the situation, guys. It's OK.

Hey, buddy!

I'm so sorry that

this had to happen.

Are you OK?

Yeah.

I'm sorry. This will

never happen again.

Are you OK?

I should've known, Ellie.

My brother's been

troubled his whole life.

I'm so sorry.

I know.

Ellie...

You saved us, Taylor.

From William.

You saved our lives.

Will you do me a favour?

One day, will you tell

them how much...

I will.

I promise.

Excuse me.

I just wanted to tell you

you were right about

the guy in the car.

He's going to make it.

And I guess he had a lot to say

about our friend as well.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Ellie, thank you.

It was you who saved me.

Brandon's waiting for you.

I don't know how you

knew all that stuff.

All I know is...

I can't even begin to thank you.

Sorry guys, we have

to go to the station

and fill out some paperwork, OK?

Um, can we have just a minute?

Sure.

I wanted to tell you.

I need to tell you something.

Only, I need you to trust me

and not be afraid no matter

how crazy it sounds.

And believe me, it's

going to sound crazy.

OK.

Remember when you asked me if

I was psychic or something?

Look at this place.

Nothing special, is it?

How people drive by every day

and they think nothing of it.

You never know so many

lives would change forever.

I've missed you so much.

I knew you'd find me, Ellie.

Look, I need you to know,

I didn't suffer.

The truth is...

I hardly remember it.

But for you...

Ellie, it's like you've

never left this place.

Then why are you still here?

Because of you, Ellie.

It's all my fault, Brendan.

I should have been paying closer

attention to the road.

I should've...

Ellie...

It was perfect.

I don't understand.

My love,

it's time to say goodbye.

Ellie, you have to let me go.

What is it?

There's someone else.

I can feel her

energy around you.

Ellie, she needs your help.

Look, this is help

only you can offer.

People are waiting for

her, but she won't go.

You can change that with

this thing you have.

This gift.

You can make all the

difference in the world.

Do I know who she is?

Yeah.

I think you've met.

Hey.

Remember me?

What are you doing here?

You don't have to

be here, little one.

I have to talk to my mommy.

I have to tell her something.

This gate...

My mama.

She thinks she didn't lock it.

She thinks it's her fault.

But it was me.

I know where she hid the key.

I did it.

I unlocked it.

Tell you what.

What do you say you and

I go talk to your mama?

What if she doesn't listen?

What if she doesn't believe you?

Don't you worry about that.

But how?

I don't know yet.

But I promise you, sweet girl,

between the two of us,

we'll find a way.

Hi.

My name is Ellie.

I have a message

from your daughter.
