[LIV] You do know you're just

incurring my mother's wrath, don't you?

I just want it to be nice for her.

You're her guest.

Bringing your own food

is kind of a no-no.

That's not what this is.

Can you just trust me?

And I don't know, maybe help?

You've literally got the

sandwiches at right angles.

[WILL] What are you doing?

I just plumped those.

Don't laugh at me.

I'm not laughing at you. It's sweet.

I just don't know why

you're making so much effort.

Because she has to say yes.

William

are you planning on asking

my mother to marry you?

Oh, f*ck.

f*ck.

[SOFT MUSIC]

No you're not. There's no ring.

[SIGH]

There's no ring because

I wasn't planning

on asking you to marry

me in your old front-room.

I just, I

I wanted to do it properly, you know.

Ask for your mum's permission first.

[SIGHS]

But there is a ring?

Yes. There's a ring.

Because you want to marry me?

No, I've changed my mind.

[LIV LAUGHS]

Of course I want to

marry you, you idiot.

I've wanted to marry

you since our third date.

Why?

Because

My whole life I've never felt

like I quite fitted in anywhere.

You know, at school or at home

despite trying my absolute hardest to.

But then you came along, and, erm

and it was

[MIMICS expl*si*n]

I was on the team.

So will you?

[WILL] Liv

[WILL] Liv! Liv!

[AGGRESSIVE KNOCKING]

[WILL] Liv, open the door.

Liv, please, open the door.

Okay, look, I

I get it.

I get it. After last night, I

[WILL] I'm sorry, Livvy.

[LIV VOICEOVER] Madness

is closer than we think.

Get lied to enough.

Have the ground ripped

out from you enough .

It gets so you can't

trust anyone anymore.

Especially yourself.

[INTENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]

Where have you been?

Er, I was sleeping it

off in the rec room.

I know I should've come

back last night, but

I just needed some time

to figure my sh*t out.

Erm

You've been in the hotel all this time.

[WILL] Yes.

Liv, I said some some

really hateful things.

It turns out, erm

you were right about not

mixing painkillers and booze.

You were drunk. I was drunk.

[WILL] But still, that's

not me making an excuse.

I mean

I was a shitbag, Liv.

I really was.

And I'd have lobbed a glass

at me too if I were you.

That was, erm

I don't

It's not who I am.

A person can only be pushed so far.

Can we just forget that

last night ever happened?

[LIV EXHALES IN AGREEMENT]

[LIV VOICEOVER] And what's madder

than clutching at a false reality

[FAST TENSE MUSIC]

[MAN] Good morning.

[MAN 2] Who was that?

[LIV] Do you know them?

They're Americans, as over

friendly as we are under.

You should be used to it by now.

[HOTEL MANAGER] Mr. and Mrs. Taylor.

Morning to you both. Is there

something I can help you with?

Actually, we were hoping

to check out a day early.

Nothing wrong, is there?

Oh, no, no. We just

We realised this morning that we

short-changed our time in Vegas.

So we wanted to hit the road

How would we go about

hiring a new car round here?

[HOTEL MANAGER] Leave that with me, sir.

And I'll arrange an early check out now

with a complimentary

reduction on the room.

Anything else I can assist you with?

No, that's great. Thank you very

much. That's much appreciated.

[HOTEL MANAGER] Our visitor's

book is just behind you.

If there's any choice comments

that you feel to leave.

[LIV] You go on.

No. You go on, you're the writer.

[LIV] f*ck off.

"Gives the shining a run for its money"?

[BOTH LAUGH]

Do your good hand writing.

[BOTH KEEP LAUGHING]

[WILL] Er, sorry,

there is one more thing.

If anyone hands in a jacket,

chances are it's mine.

[HOTEL MANAGER] Certainly,

sir, what does it look like?

[WILL] Red, it's a rain jacket.

[INTENSE MUSIC TAKES OVER]

[FAST BREATHING]

[FRANTIC BREATHING]

[GARTH] Pick up your damn phone already!

Now, will you please just call me

back so I know that you're okay.

f*ck.

[TENSE MUSIC BUILD-UP]

Hey.

How's it going? [CLEARS THROAT]

You haven't seen Cara have you?

[WILL] Morning! How you doing?

Fine. I was just, er,

out looking for Cara.

Have you seen her?

No.

Why, what's up?

No nothing. I just [SCOFFS]

She just wasn't in the

room when I woke up.

And she's not answering her cell, so

I figured she must've come down here

to take the car for a spin, but, yeah.

[WILL] Why don't I try her?

[GARTH] Yeah. Just in case I'm the

one she doesn't want to talk to?

[WILL] No, I was thinking more maybe

her phone's playing up her signal.

[CARA VOICEMAIL]

Cara here, I can't pick up

[WILL] No. [CLEARS THROAT]

You try.

Me?

[CARA VOICEMAIL] Cara here,

I can't pick up right now.

Call you back!

[GARTH] You know what?

She probably just went for a run

and lost track of time, that's all.

When was the last time you saw her?

Er, I think we probably

fell asleep around midnight.

And everything was okay with you?

Yeah. I mean, better

than you two, right?

I'm sorry. That was

[WILL] Has she taken

anything from the room?

[GARTH] What do you mean? Like what?

[WILL] I don't know.

Maybe keys or passport?

Why the f*ck would

she need those things?

[TENSE MUSIC BUILD-UP]

Did Cara say anything to you?

About what?

About wanting to end things with Garth?

We're just colleagues.

It's not like we're getting into

deep and meaningfuls every five.

Right, yeah, 'course.

So, why do you think

she's left him then?

Satisfied?

[WILL] Erm, I just wanted to check.

You haven't heard from

Cara today, have you?

[BONNIE OVER PHONE] No, I made

a point of telling her that

if I saw her reply to any work emails,

I would consider it a cry for help.

The girl needs a break

I heard her boss is a psychopath!

[WILL CHUCKLES]

Well, ain't all bad.

[BONNIE OVER PHONE] Ding, ding,

ding. And so he passes the test.

[BONNIE OVER PHONE] What

do you need her for?

Maybe I can help.

[BONNIE OVER PHONE] And by help,

I mean fob you off on Marissa.

Well, actually it's

not a work thing per se.

[WILL] Randomly she's

ended up holidaying

at the same spot as us.

And we Garth, that is,

we can't seem to get hold

of her at the minute.

Oh, that is random.

[WILL] Well, you know what they

say, small world n'all.

Well, California is just shy of

170,000 square miles, so define small.

Well, look, I'm sure there is

absolutely nothing to worry about.

Just wanted to call to see if

she's called the office at all.

[BONNIE] You know it's

when people tell me

not to worry that I start to worry.

When was she last seen?

Last night.

But she's probably headed

out for a hike or something.

[BONNIE CHUCKLES] A hike?

On her own?

You know her better than that.

Are we saying that she's gone missing?

[DOOR KNOCKS]

[WILL] No. [LAUGHS] No,

I think, er, that isn't

Bonnie, I'm sure that everything's fine.

[BONNIE] It doesn't sound fine

Any luck?

[BONNIE] in fact it

sounds the opposite of fine.

Cara's parents haven't

heard from her either.

[GARTH] They're going

out of their minds.

Bonnie, I'm gonna have to call you back.

Will you let me know

if you hear from her?

[BONNIE] No. Not waiting for that.

I'm calling the authorities.

Ms. Parker is five foot five, blond,

We are looking for any sign

of the woman in question.

evidence on your route,

please under no circumstances touch it.

The last thing we need

[LIV BREATHES HEAVILY]

I think there's some

painkillers in here somewhere.

Must be in my other bag.

Let's just take ten.

Just until you feel up to it.

No, we have to keep going. Come on.

I'm gonna have to ask you both

to move back to a place of safety.

[WILL] What is it? What have you found?

You've obviously found

something. What is it?

A female has been identified.

[WILL] But she's all right, though? Yes?

[RANGER] She's had a nasty fall.

[WILL] But she's okay, though? She's

had a nasty fall, but she's okay.

Tell me she's alive.

Just.

[TENSE MUSIC]

Hey.

She's on her way to hospital

right now, the Mann Fremont.

I came back to get her

some stuff 'cause

I just don't I'm not

sure what she really needs

and I've never done this before.

No, you've done a really good job.

What the hell was she doing out there?

I don't get it.

[WILL] Well, you can

ask her soon enough.

[GARTH] I'll let you know as

soon as she's up and talking.

- [LIV] You can't drive like this.

- No, no, no, I'm fine.

- [LIV] No, no, no, come on.

Where am I?

[GARTH] You're in the hospital, baby.

But you're gonna be fine,

hey. You are gonna be fine.

[GARTH] Everything can go

back to the way it was, yeah?

Er, you gave us a scare there.

[GARTH] What were you doing

out there on your own, baby?

[SHAKY BREATHS]

I don't know.

Why don't I know?

Did you hear?

[NURSE] In cases of TBI,

Traumatic Brain Injury

which sounds way scarier

than it needs to be

we see everything from neurological

disorder to loss of memory.

[GARTH] But she's gonna

get it all back, right?

[NURSE] I'll have the

surgeon come talk with you.

[GARTH] Okay. Can you have him

come talk to us now, please?

- [NURSE] Sir

and have him come

talk to us now, please?

- Okay?

- [NURSE] Why don't we go out in the hall

To better times ahead. Love, Liv.

ready to collect by midday.

Great. Great, thanks.

Please, Liv, just be

silent and let me speak

else I'll go mad.

Me and Cara, I

We

Look, it was a mistake,

obviously a mistake,

I will never forgive myself for.

And I'm not asking you to, but

She

She's the one night thing.

Not so much one night, more.

but nothing that even remotely

comes close to to us

to what we have. Y-you

Liv, you have to believe me.

And it was over.

The whole thing was over.

But then her here, it was all

about her wanting us to be a thing.

Which

Which I couldn't.

I didn't I

Liv, questions will be

asked. They already are.

And the last person to have

seen her must've been me.

Which shouldn't matter for anything

because she's obviously had some

Some horrible accident, but

You know how these things look.

How I'll look.

If they find out about us, it will look

like I was getting rid of a problem.

And I know

Liv, I know you don't owe

me anything ever again.

But I'm begging you, I am.

I'm properly, f*cking

begging you here, Livvy.

To help me.

Help you how?

I

I need you to be my alibi.

[BURST OUT LAUGHING]

[TENSE BUZZING]

[LIV CONTINUES LAUGHING]

[LIV] So, you were with her last night?

With her, with her.

[WILL] No. I'm here with you.

[LIV CHUCKLES]

She came to find me after

some row she'd had with Garth.

We talked, nothing more.

Listen, if anyone asks,

I went to the bar and

had a night cap alone.

I got back to the room at 11.30.

And then it was just you

and me together all night.

Even if I wanted to help you,

other people will have seen you.

No, we were careful.

Why would you be careful

if you were just talking?

Oh, no, you gave her hope.

You gave her hope, didn't

you? Of course you f*cking did.

Oh, of course you f*cking did.

Please, Liv, please, I am begging you.

Please just do this one thing for me.

- Please.

- [RANGER] Excuse me.

Excuse me!

- Everyone else is inside.

- [WILL] Yeah. Yeah.

We're just

Just grabbing some air.

Right. Well if y'all don't

mind heading in with me,

answering a few questions?

Of course. Yeah.

[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]

You knew the deceased, right?

[WILL] Er, yes.

In what capacity?

Er, colleagues

Er, we were friendly colleagues.

[RANGER] Holidaying together?

Oh, no, it wasn't some

We bumped into her on the trail.

[RANGER CLEARS THROAT]

[RANGER] Theory we're running with

is Ms. Parker lost her way in the storm,

ended up at Rosen Pointe,

slipped, fell.

It's looking like death by misadventure.

But I'm sure you can appreciate

we still need to get

everyone's movements.

Oh, no, of course. Of course.

I mean, anything, please,

anything we can do to help.

Erm

Well, we

We ducked out of dinner early.

Went back to the room, and

I fancied a night cap.

I couldn't persuade my better half.

And then got back,

must've been about 11.30.

And then, well

It was us. For the rest of the night.

- [RANGER] Thank you, Mr. Taylor.

- Of course.

[RANGER] Mrs. Taylor.

Guess like my husband said.

[RANGER] Well, no doubt

we will have more questions

when the forensics search

of the scene finishes up.

Is a, er, is a phone call okay?

It's just, er well, we were

meant to check out yesterday.

And, well, we've rooms in Vegas.
