Breaking the Girls Page #4

---

Do you know what it says on her

death certificate still to this day?

Natural causes.

That's it.

This is Sara, leave a message.

- What are you doing?

- I just couldn't sleep.

I started reading about

Alex's family. Take a look at this.

David Layton, single, sexy and

rich beyond your wildest dreams.

Playboy seems to have a penchant

for rich women.

It must have been

before he married Nina.

- What are you looking for exactly?

- Answers, I guess.

I need to know that you believe

that I didn't kill anyone.

I'm just trying

to figure stuff out.

I mean, look what I found out

about Alex's mom.

Sophie Layton dies in a tragic accident.

Grieving daughter suffers breakdown.

That can't be right. Alex told me

that her mom committed suicide.

Yeah, well, there's more.

Investigation into

questionable circumstances

revolving around

Sophia Layton's death.

There's a swim pool, possible pills and

alcohol in her system. No witnesses.

Now it makes sense.

Take a look at that.

Sophie Layton is said to be

worth $ 50 million

Money is transferred to her

husband of three years, David Layton.

So maybe, David killed

Alex's mom for the money?

God, if that was true,

and I was Alex then...

I wouldn't be hating Nina,

I'd be hating David.

Why would she want you to kill Nina?

That doesn't make any sense.

I don't know.

Look Sara, we have to go to the police.

I don't think we have any other options.

I can't. Alex has evidence

that places me at the scene.

And my fingerprints are all

over Brooke's necklace.

- Is Sara with you?

- F***ing Alex.

Hold on a sec.

Come home!

Okay, this is crazy.

I have to face her.

I have an idea and

I think it will work.

Good morning.

I was worried about you at first.

But then I realized you

must be saving Eric's bed.

I'm sorry I didn't call.

Going to Brooke's funeral

yesterday really freaked me out,

I just needed some time to think.

It's funny.

I didn't peg Eric for the type

of guy to f*** a new girl

the same day his

old girl is turned into dirt.

It's not like that.

Well, I need you...

but clearly you don't need me,

since you've got him now, so...

I guess I'll just

have to do this alone.

Eric and I aren't together.

It was never really like that

with me and him.

I was just so confused.

But I think you know

how I felt all along.

Just been so scared to go there

with you. Like really go there.

- You really feel that way?

- Yeah.

I'm so happy that Brooke is gone

and that you did that for me.

Now it's my turn.

I'm so happy we get

to do this together.

Today is perfect.

Nina will be alone at the house.

It's open.

- Here's the gun.

- You just keep this thing lying around?

I stole it from

Nina that day.

You won't disappoint

me now, will you?

- No.

- Good.

Here's what you do.

Detective Ross.

She's headed where?

Okay, calm down.

We're on our way.

Hello?

Nina, is that you?

I have to talk to you

about Alex. Hello?

Freeze!

- I didn't do this.

- Put your hands above your head, Sara.

I just walked in.

Stop talking and put your

hands above your head.

I swear to God I didn't do this.

No, you have to believe me.

- I didn't know...

- Let's go, Sara.

- No. You have to believe me.

- Come on.

I just got here.

I don't know what's going on.

Please, I just found him.

I was with my stepmother, Nina.

We went shopping

and spent the night

at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Of course, your stepmother

can corroborate this.

Of course.

Thank you for tipping us off

as to Sara's whereabouts.

Can you think of any reason that Sara

Ryan would want your stepfather dead?

But, I'm confused.

Don't you have all the evidence

that you need to convict her?

Well, we have her

at the scene of the crime,

And we have the murder weapon,

but what we don't have is a motive.

I think I might know of the motive.

When Sara and I first met,

we kissed and stuff.

It was just innocent, you know?

Fun, whatever.

But then she became obsessed.

- Can you be a little more specific?

- She wanted to move in.

Which was fine, because you know

she didn't have a place to stay,

But then she started acting

like my wife or something.

Asking my whereabouts,

making sexual advances all the time.

And she kept talking about Brooke,

and how she was responsible for

losing her scholarship

and she was there when

David and I got in a big fight.

But we always fought, and just made up.

That's how we were.

She was so mad at him though.

She did say that if Brooke and

David were out of the way

That we could be happy.

And all David's money

would be ours.

But it's all my fault.

If I had just told her that David

cut me out of his will then

maybe she wouldn't have killed him.

Why didn't you come forward

with this after Brooke's death?

I guess I just did not want

to believe it was true, you know?

May I have some water, please?

- What the f*** Sara?

- I had to warn Nina.

I couldn't see

somebody else get hurt.

- You should have not have gone there.

- I know, just hear me out, okay?

I think Alex and her stepmom Nina

are trying to frame me.

- Really?

- Yes.

I think that Alex coming to the bar that

night, that wasn't just a chance meeting.

Alex and Nina planned that.

Alex made friends with me...

so she could have somebody

to frame for killing David.

Wait, I don't get it. I thought

Alex wanted you to kill Nina.

Yeah, that's what she

wanted me to think.

So that when I went to do it,

I'd be walking into a trap.

Do you really think those two

are actually capable of all that?

For $50 million, Eric, people are capable

of doing anything. Especially Alex.

When David cut her out of the will,

she felt betrayed.

Nina was her only way in.

If we could somehow find a way to get

Alex to think that Nina betrayed her...

No, what we need to do is get help.

We're gonna walk down the hallway,

and get Detective Ross on board.

That's what we have to do.

It's a great idea.

Excuse me?

My name is Nina Layton.

Sara Ryan asked to see me?

This wine is so good.

I have more in the cellar.

I'll go get it.

Hey Nina, It was great seeing you today.

Let's keep talking. Sara

The flower guy today was one

of those close talkers, and...

He kept getting in my face,

and his breath was gross.

Not fun.

Did you go anywhere else

besides the flower guy today?

Just met with the minister,

and went to the funeral home...

you know, made arrangements.

Don't lie to me.

What are you talking about?

Did you see Sara Ryan today?

Why would you do that, Nina?

What could you possibly have

to talk to Sara Ryan about?

I had to see her to see

if they have anything on us.

Which they don't.

They don't have anything at all.

And you didn't tell me?

You're worried about me?

How do you think it makes me feel

to see you drooling all over Sara?

- That wasn't exactly part of our plan.

- I'm acting, Nina.

I'm a good actress.

It's just a performance.

Yeah, so is me going to see Sara.

- Are you f***ing me over?
