How could Samantha Winston destroy a town?

Remember when you graduated and came here to visit?

It was about 13, 14 years ago.

Well, it started happening. It started all over again.

- I don't understand.

- That family... it's like they cursed this whole town.

You see years ago, Lucas was headed for the Senate with my money.

He had a very promising political career,

and then that whore... she...

Anyway, I fixed it

because that's what I do. I fixed it.

I fixed it and I took care of it.

- Fixed it?

- Yes, I fixed it. What part of this girl is trouble do you not understand?

She's a threat to everything,

your nice house, your mother's townhouse, everything.

- I don't understand.

- I don't need you to understand.

I need you to listen. I need you to find out

everything and I mean everything that she has discovered.

Let that sit in there.

Why don't you finish my wine while you're at it.

Baby.

Baby.

- Your baby.

- What?

My baby, your baby.

What?

- Hi, good morning.

- Morning.

Would you like some eggs?

I... er... I have some errands to do.

Well, cause then there's the wake later today.

Well yeah, I guess everyone's gonna be at Mayor Lopez's wake today.

I'll just have coffee.

And these cookies look good too.

You always loved chocolate chip cookies.

And you always loved clamchowder soup, daddy.

I said I gotta go do errands,

but... er... I'll be back.

Jack, I figured handling the service was the least I could do

Lucas

Mama?

- Not too close to the altar.

- Yes, there are two viewings of Mary Lopez today.

Yes, we are expecting a large turnout. Thank you.

You look good.

Thank you.

Come on.

Too late. You're lucky... you have a job here!

- Answer the phone!

- You've never been the same since Jennifer's death.

- Stop it!

Look, I saved you with Jennifer,

I'm not saving you again with Samantha.

You don't have to take care of Samantha

and Thomas, your little games are gonna end soon.

Benny line two.

Listen Benny, I can't do this right now.

No, you stay away from her.

I'll take care of this.

Hey, I'm here to see Thomas Burton.

- I'm sorry. There's no Thomas here.

- What? I was just here yesterday, remember?

- A doctor took me to his room.

- I've never seen you before, miss.

We only have 20 residents here. I'd know

if there was a Thomas.

Look, I spoke with you yesterday.

Doctor, doctor, I was here yesterday.

I really need to see my uncle Thomas. Thomas Burton.

- There is no Thomas here in this residence.

- He was here yesterday, I saw him.

- There is no Thomas here.

- I saw him yesterday. My little Thomas.

Are you okay?

- Please come with us.

- What is this?

- Please come with us.

I saw my Thomas, he was here yesterday. I saw him yesterday.

I saw him.

- There's a line around the block.

- As expected.

Such a turnout for her memorial.

These are her cousins, Chantelle and Carol.

- Sorry for your loss.

- Thank you.

- Lucas had to step out.

- Is everything alright?

He's handling a personal matter.

We'll take care of everything.

Mr Benny, I've made the rounds. Everything seems to be

alright.

You look good, new suit,

and you lost weight.

- No, no, I need to talk to you privately.

- Oh, Liam, he's good.

In fact, I was just explaining to him how I had to fix

things 14 years ago.

I don't want to rehash all this now,

our girl needs help.

That's right. She needs help. Did I not tell you that it was not gonna work?

So how did you fix this?

Should I tell him?

I had no choice, because she was

pregnant, and Lucas' career was on the line.

- You... you kill her?

- Oh, grow up, would you?

What are you? 11 going on 3? Dr. Kaplan performed

a C-section ahead of schedule, that's all.

The kid's alive. She's yours.

- How old are you gonna be?

- 14.

Look, Jennifer wasn't feeling very well that day and your

incredibly dear Harriet called me, so I helped.

Shut up! Shut the hell up!

I don't want to hear this right now! Alright? Just stop it!

Is Lucas there?

Yeah, can you ask him to come?

Benny.

Dr. Kaplan called it a... er... 'Placenta Abruptio'.

It's a fascinating process. They actually separate the

placenta from the uterus wall.

Look, the important thing is that everybody, including drunken Jack, thought that it was the pregnancy that killed Jennifer.

I mean, you've been in denial about this for how long? 14 years now?

But... mmm... man that's good!

It was a very clean cremation that you performed before that

b*tch, Patricia, started asking questions.

What are you talking about?

I didn't help you with any of what you did! That was you!

I would have stopped it if I could have. I was just too...

Oh, yes, yes, yes, you did. You might not have the guts to kill anybody but you knew nothing was going to get in the way of your career.

Alright, alright, just send Sanders. You hurt that girl

and I'll kill you.

I will.

Lucas, I don't think I've ever seen you kill so much as a fly. You need to understand something.

I did it for you. I did it for the family.

I took care of Kaplan,

your mother...

they were bad for this town.

It's nothing personal.

It's always, always business.

- Sam!

- You stay right there! I'm gonna take care of it.

Sam! Sam!

See which way she went?

You watch that side.

Jack! Jack!

Daddy! Daddy!

I told you she was trouble. Didn't I tell you she was trouble.

Daddy, where are you?

I can't believe Lucas. He should have known not to trust her.

Can't worry about cops right now,

gotta find that girl.

Lucas, how many times I've given him opportunities.

Do you know what he does every time?

Screws it up.

This is not good.

She heard the whole conversation. You know?

Is that her?

Why don't you pick up the phone?

Why can't I reach Jack. Why is there no service?

Go dig a hole. Will you?

After everything I've done for you

and your family and you're with them?

You are a sad man.

Liam, get out of my way.

- Please.

- Liam, get out of my way.

You killed my mother!

Liam...

Liam!

Liam!

Liam!

Oh, Liam.

Don't, please.

Daddy?

- I love you, Sam.

- Daddy.

I love you very much.

I love you too.

It's gonna be okay.

- Where are you going?

- It's gonna be okay.

Please...

- Where are you going?

- I love you.

- Sam!

- Daddy.

It's gonna be okay.

- Daddy!

- Sam, Sam, Sam, listen to me.

He's not there. He's not there.

Jack's not there. Jack's gone.

Jack is dead.

He died a long ago.

He died a long ago.

- Listen to me, he's been gone a long time. He's not here.

- No, he's alive. He's alive.

No, no, no, he died a long ago.

- You did it. You killed your father.

- Shut up! Just shut up! It was an accident.

It was an accident, okay? Don't listen, don't pay attention to him.

You can't even take care of your wife

and child!

I would never make my family

something! Get out of my house!

Enough is enough, get out!

No, Daddy!

Daddy?

Listen to me Samantha. Samantha, you've been in a hospital

a long time.

I want to see if you could live on your own.
