What did it say?

More of the same thing.

Tell me what it said?

She's being blackmailed.

That's why she's here.

Zoe? That's enough.

[ Music & Noise ]

This whole thing

is just a sick joke.

If anyone was coming,

wouldn't they be here by now?

Not if it was one of us.

Shut up.

One of us wants

to hurt you, but why?

Let's examine our motives.

I already have my

suspicions, but how about you,

Jake, who gets your vote?

My motive would

obviously be revenge

for all this getting eclipsed.

And Edie's would be jealousy.

You've been green with envy

ever since she got married

which brings us to Jake.

Good. Well, if

anything happens to mom--

Zoe, I want to talk to you.

[ Noise ]

Why don't you go

and clear the dishes?

I'm not your f***ing servant.

No, just hers.

I care about her, unlike you.

I hope you're not going to carry

on with Zoe while we're

all under the same roof.

What did you just say?

Perhaps, I imagined it.

Perhaps you did.

Then you won't mind

if I tell Kathryn?

[ Noise ]

Do that again

and I'll kill you.

You don't need to come

between me and Jake.

Why haven't you

told him the truth?

I'll tell you, if you don't

trust him, you shouldn't.

[ Footsteps ]

What happened?

Zoe, what happened?

What's wrong?

What's going on?

It's not important.

Tell me what she said.

What makes you think

she said anything?

[ Noise ]

You told her about us?

I didn't.

Why would I do that?

Beause you want to hurt her.

She killed Max, didn't she?

I should have guessed.

Max wasn't my father.

I loved him.

[ Music ]

[ Noise ]

It's not going to work.

What are you talking about?

She's not going to go for it.

She doesn't trust

him for a second.

I should have never

let you talk me into this.

[ Noise ]

That's enough now.

You've been drinking.

I want to know something.

Why do you and Zoe

dislike Jake so much?

Don't talk.

Close your eyes.

She's jealous of them.

And she was jealous of Max.

Jesus Christ.

What happened?

Kathryn.

Kathryn.

Kathryn.

Where is Zoe?

Where is she?

Kathryn, I need

to talk to you.

Something's happening.

I think we all

need to stay calm.

Kathryn.

Oh, Kathryn.

Hey, hey, hey.

Put the gun down, come on.

Did he say that I did it?

I heard Zoe threaten to

tell you they were lovers.

What?

He said he would kill her.

Whoa. Hey, hey Kathryn,

don't listen to her.

I saw them together.

He killed her.

Hey, gun down.

Come on.

Kathryn, put the gun down.

Where is she?

Where is she?

[ Noise ]

[ Gun Shot & Music ]

[ Noise ]

I thought you would kill him?

[ Footsteps ]

[ Music ]

[ Noise ]

I'm not going to jail.

I can't protect you anymore.

[ Noise ]

I'll tell him it was you.

[ Noise ]

I don't care.

[ Music & Noise ]

Mom!
