Wake Page #8

I've been looking all over for you.

I went on a walk.

[Sighs]

It's so great up here.

Yeah.

[Carys sighs]

Maybe we should be heading home?

We just got here.

So, where are we exactly?

I know.

It's pretty tucked away, isn't it?

Mm.

Ready to go back?

Yeah.

You're gonna love this.

What are you looking for?

You seem so distant.

Nobody. Nothing.

It's getting dark.

Well, we've got it covered.

What's wrong?

It's so beautiful.

I don't know why you bothered.

Come on.

You know why.

Yeah, I know why,

and I deserve it.

I just never thought

you would be so cruel.

Cruel?

You think this is cruel?

Oh, my God.

[Panting]

Carys!

Carys!

Carys!

Where are you going?!

Come on!

Just stop!

What's wrong with you?

I don't know how

or when you figured it out,

but I can't say

I'm not a bit disappointed.

Now, can we just

go back to the cabin?

Come on, let's go.

Oh, my God.

You're unbelievable.

I've known something about you

for a little while now.

How long?

Long enough.

Practically since we met.

Why didn't you just say something?

Call me old-fashioned,

but I just don't think that's

the way things should be done.

I mean, I like

a little suspense, don't you?

I know this isn't

gonna change anything,

but will you

at least let me explain?

There's nothing to explain.

I've known this for a while.

- I never meant to hurt you.

- Ever since I met you, I knew.

- That was before I knew you.

- I knew you were the one.

I mean, sure,

you don't make it easy.

You're the first person

to make me feel normal.

You're the only person

I've ever felt this way about,

and I want to spend

the rest of my life with you.

I never knew Anna,

and I'm sorry I stole her ring.

Will you marry me?

[Gasps]

What?

Y-you didn't know her?

I mean, what... what do you mean,

you didn't know her?

Like, you never...

...met her?

No.

But I went to the funeral

before I knew you,

and then...

and then I had to lie

because I...

I felt a connection to you.

Yeah, but we talked

about her every day.

You were lying the whole time?

Like, all that was a...

all that was a lie?

No, not all of it.

You had her ring?

But you know that!

You have it!

This? This?!

I bought this for you.

I can't... can't believe you...

You lied about everything.

I'm sorry.

Please. I'm sorry.

[Sobbing]

- Let her go!

- Let the girl go!

You're under arrest

for the murder of Anna Williams

and the attempted murder

of Carys Reitman.

No, I don't think

he was trying to kill me.

You don't think

I was trying to kill you?

Cops in L.A. Got a tip.

They found the drugs used

to kill Anna Williams in your safe.

You weaseled your way

into the funeral.

You lied to me and her family.

You stole her ring.

I stole her ring.

[Telephone rings]

WOMAN:

Sheriff's Department.

[Police radio chatter]

Tyler, please talk to me.

Oh, please, please.

Oh, please.

How could you think I killed her?

You think I could kill anyone?

I don't know.

I just... you were so perfect.

I didn't think

that could happen to me.

I know you hate me,

just let me tell you

my side of the story, okay?

[Footsteps approach]

This way.

Hey.

Hi.

God, why didn't you tell us?

Anna wanted to be the one.

I couldn't look at her

safe-deposit box before,

but when I heard

about the cancer, I went.

I read her note.

Good.

I was hoping you'd go sooner

rather than later...

like before I

got the death penalty.

No, she explained how great

you were to her, how amazing.

You were the only person who knew.

It was a really private thing to her.

I can't believe

everything we've put you through.

If we'd had any idea she was sick...

TYLER:

I'm sorry you had to be the one.

She didn't want your parents

to find out that way.

No, of course.

Of course.

God, they're so religious.

Just tell me she didn't suffer.

She begged me to do it,

and I was horrified.

She was in so much pain.

I finally realized

it was the right thing to do.

So when she was ready,

we had a great day...

...last dinner together.

I drove her car to the canyon.

She took the tranquilizers.

She died in my arms.

I slid the car off the edge

so that the way she really died

would be her own secret.

Thank you.

You risked your life

to preserve her memory.

That's what she wanted me to do.

I... I gave the cops her suicide note.

I told them you

had nothing to do with it.

So, um...

Sir. Sir.

Tyler, please.

Tyler, wait.

I apologize

for the inconvenience.

I'll have a driver take you back.

No, thank you. I'm good.

How much to bail her out?

You want to bail her out?

- TYLER:
How much?

- WOMAN:
$800.

- MARISSA:
Don't even think about it.

- It's okay.

Pay the clerk.

Just do me a favor.

Don't let her out until I'm gone.

Thank you.

[Sobbing]

[Sighs]

Hey.

Hey.

Come on.

I'll take you home.

[Knocking on door]

[Sighs]

I, uh, brought you some cookies...

your favorites.

So, why did you come over?

Oh, when I called,

you wouldn't come to the phone.

I spoke to your roommate,

and it sounded

like you might need me.

[Sighs]

Daughters do need their mothers

occasionally.

So, Mom, how come we never

go to Sandrine's grave?

Sandrine was cremated.

Wait, that's not the point.

I just... I don't know.

I just thought, you know,

that we would go to her grave

and... and pull weeds

and sit around and talk about her

and tell stories

and laugh and cry

and, you know,

then we'd understand each other.

But we do understand each other.

[Sighs]

You were a funny child...

precocious but serious...

with a laser-like focus

on the strangest things.

[Sighs]

You needed a push sometimes

just to get out of your own way.

When Sandrine died,

we knew we'd have

to keep you from fixating.

And we didn't want

that one terrible thing

to be the center

of your whole life.

But it was.

Wait.

You didn't have a funeral

and never talked about her

and pretended

like everything was okay

because of me, to help me?

Well, you do what you can,

even if it turns out

that it wasn't enough.

Mom?

What is it?

Do you have to go?

I love you, honey.

I would have done anything for you.

I still would.

Sometimes loving people

is all you can do, hmm?

[Sniffles]

Oh, honey.
