00:00:00Mum, this is amazing. You really are the best cook.
00:00:03Well, it's your favourite. Anything for my lovely daughter.
00:00:10Is everything alright?
00:00:12Yeah, I just... I can't shake the feeling of unease.
00:00:15Oh, sweetheart. Leaving isn't easy for any of us.
00:00:20You're going to do great. I'm going to miss your food so much.
00:00:23Oh, darling.
00:00:26You're going to do so well in medical school
00:00:29and I'm sure there'll be lots of delicious meals for you there.
00:00:33I'll pack some of your favourites too.
00:00:35Oh, favourites? Well, I'll be sure to send you some of my favourite spaghetti recipes.
00:00:40Can't have you wasting away on that instant noodle stuff.
00:00:42Thanks, Dad. I'll hold you to it.
00:00:44You do that. Oh, excuse me.
00:00:46Thanks, mate.
00:00:54Listen, if you ever call me again, I'm going straight to the police. Do you understand?
00:01:03Dad, is everything okay?
00:01:05Everything's fine, sweetheart. Thank you.
00:01:08Okay, well, dinner's ready. Mum says hurry up.
00:01:10I'll be right.
00:01:11Okay.
00:01:16You know, I remember when I left for college, your grandmother packed me with enough food
00:01:35to last me a whole year. And my dorm room was the best decorated in the entire college.
00:01:42I didn't think Grandma would do that.
00:01:44You'll see, Lily. College life has a charm all of its own.
00:01:50Thanks for this wonderful dinner. I'm going to miss moments like this with you guys.
00:01:54We'll miss you too.
00:01:56You know, we're both so excited about you starting this brand new journey.
00:02:02We're so proud of you.
00:02:03Well, I have my amazing support team right here.
00:02:06No, you're the best daughter we could ever wish for.
00:02:09You know, Mum, Dad, Ethan was telling me that there's something mysterious about this town
00:02:14that I'm leaving behind. And I've heard tales, hidden secrets, but no one speaks openly about
00:02:21them. Why?
00:02:27Secrets, huh? Well, you know, every town has them.
00:02:31Ours is no exception.
00:02:33Your father and I have our fair share of stories from our younger days.
00:02:40And some secrets are best left in the past.
00:02:46Come on, spill the beans. Tell me I'm leaving for med school tomorrow.
00:02:50Well, there's a bookstore downtown that people talk about.
00:02:57It's supposed to be enchanted.
00:02:59It's supposed to be filled with all sorts of things, ancient knowledge and the like.
00:03:04And remember that old abandoned mansion on Elm Street?
00:03:08It's said to be haunted. Kids used to dare each other to go near it.
00:03:14Abandoned mansion, an enchanted bookstore.
00:03:18Intriguing.
00:03:18Careful, Sweet. Some secrets are meant to be kept.
00:03:25Joanna Reeds.
00:03:27Excuse me.
00:03:34I'm going to miss you guys so much. Thank you for everything.
00:03:39Take care, Lily. We're just a phone call away if you need anything.
00:03:44I miss you, Sweetheart. You take care, OK?
00:03:49We'll miss you so much, always.
00:03:53Hey, what's that? What's in there?
00:04:04I'll miss you, Lily, my dear friend.
00:04:10Looks like somebody wanted to say goodbye in their own special way.
00:04:13A secret admirer, perhaps.
00:04:16You always did have a way with secret admirers.
00:04:19Guys, you know who it is.
00:04:21Lily, this is as vibrant as your spirit.
00:04:25Come on, let's take a photo before you go.
00:04:28Yes, that's wonderful. Family photo.
00:04:34Oh, I'm going to remember this moment forever.
00:04:37Oh, I look quite dashing.
00:04:39Yes, you do. Truly do.
00:04:41You better go, Sweetheart.
00:04:44I love you both.
00:04:45Bye, Sweetheart.
00:04:46Goodbye, Lily.
00:04:47Bye, Mum. Bye, Dad.
00:04:48Bye, Sweet.
00:04:54Hello? Is everything OK?
00:04:58What's happening?
00:05:01Mum? Dad?
00:05:04Mum?
00:05:07Can you please go back?
00:05:25Mum? Dad?
00:05:26Sorry, sorry, sorry, Miss. Miss, you can't get in.
00:05:28Miss, sorry, you can't get in.
00:05:34Sorry, you can't get in.
00:05:46So, yeah, she's a dust.
00:05:49Lily?
00:05:50Ethan!
00:05:53What happened?
00:05:55Where are my parents?
00:05:58No. No. No, Ethan. No.
00:06:02Lily, Lily.
00:06:04I'm sorry for your loss, Lily.
00:06:08I know how difficult this must be.
00:06:09This can't be happening.
00:06:12We're investigating. We're here for you.
00:06:17Ethan, take care of her. She needs you now more than ever.
00:06:30No.
00:06:34No.
00:06:38This isn't real.
00:06:41This can't be happening. Why?
00:06:45I don't know, Lily.
00:06:47But we'll find out, I promise.
00:06:53I understand this is incredibly difficult for you, Lily.
00:06:57We'll get to the bottom of it.
00:07:04I don't know.
00:07:11Lily, you just need time to process this, okay?
00:07:15Please just let me help you.
00:07:20I can't do this, Lily. I can't do this.
00:07:25I can't.
00:07:27Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Lily, Lily, Lily, Lily, Lily.
00:07:31I can't do this.
00:07:34No.
00:07:37I can't do this, Ethan.
00:07:42You have to stay strong, okay?
00:07:45Your parents wouldn't want this.
00:07:49I need them.
00:07:52My God.
00:07:54My gosh.
00:07:56Oh my gosh.
00:08:04Is she okay?
00:08:07Not really, but the medication should help her get some rest.
00:08:18I've been working in this town for years, Ethan.
00:08:21I've seen a lot, but nothing like this.
00:08:26It's brutal.
00:08:28I'm not sure how I want to help her through this.
00:08:31We'll do everything we can, Ethan, but I wanted to talk to you about the case.
00:08:36We found a note suggesting suicide in the car, but it doesn't add up.
00:08:45This is murder.
00:08:50Who would want to do something like this?
00:08:53I've known that family since childhood, okay?
00:08:56They were good people.
00:08:57I wish I had answers, Ethan, but it seems like there's more to this than what meets the eye.
00:09:03A crime like this is unprecedented.
00:09:07We have to find the truth, not just for Lily, but for the memory of her family.
00:09:14They deserve justice.
00:09:16I couldn't agree more.
00:09:18We'll keep you updated as we uncover more details.
00:09:21Don't hesitate to reach out.
00:09:24I know how tough this is.
00:09:26I'm here for you.
00:09:51Who could do this?
00:10:13Lily?
00:10:17Sorry I woke you.
00:10:18It's fine.
00:10:21I haven't been able to sleep, but I just need someone to tell me this is a nightmare.
00:10:31I wish it was, Lily.
00:10:36Just for once, tell me this isn't real.
00:10:43Lily, there's no easy way to take this, but there's no easy way out.
00:10:48Take on.
00:10:52I'm sorry.
00:10:54I promised that I would never let a single tear fall from your eyes, but I failed.
00:11:06Lily, I promise you that I will find out who did this, and I'll make them pay.
00:11:19I'm sorry.
00:11:30Ethan, we need to talk.
00:11:33What is it, Detective?
00:11:35I've been looking into the circumstances surrounding the murder,
00:11:40and there's a possibility that this was a vengeance killing.
00:11:44And if that's the case, Lily might be at risk too.
00:11:48What do you mean?
00:11:51I know you love Lily.
00:11:53That's why I think it's safer for her if you stay with her until we resolve the case.
00:11:58Yeah, I'll do whatever it takes to keep Lily safe.
00:12:03We can't let anything happen to her.
00:12:18Look, Lily, we'll get to the bottom of this, okay?
00:12:21I'm not going to let anything happen to you.
00:12:23No one's going to hurt you.
00:12:26What do you mean by that?
00:12:30I'm sorry for not telling you sooner, but Detective Lawson mentioned that your life
00:12:36might be in danger too.
00:12:40She said that your parents' murders might be linked to some old family dispute.
00:12:48Family dispute?
00:12:51Ethan, my parents would have never been involved in something like that.
00:12:55They're good people.
00:12:56No, Lily, that's what confuses me too.
00:12:59Oh god, we're going to have to work out who did this.
00:13:03We need to find out the truth, Ethan.
00:13:06We will get to the bottom of this, Lily.
00:13:08Okay, I know this is hard for you, but I'm going to be by your side no matter what, okay?
00:13:14Thank you, Ethan.
00:13:18You're welcome.
00:13:27Hey, Lily.
00:13:29How's it holding up?
00:13:31It's hard.
00:13:34But I need to find a way to move on.
00:13:38My parents would have wanted me to.
00:13:41You're incredibly strong, Lily.
00:13:43Hey, I was thinking about the day that you went to med school.
00:13:48You mentioned something about a phone call?
00:13:52Oh, um, yeah.
00:13:54I got a call just before I was leaving.
00:13:58I answered, it was silent, and then I heard Dad's voice.
00:14:04He was saying, don't you dare touch Lily.
00:14:08So I tried to answer, but um, I couldn't.
00:14:13It went silent.
00:14:16Crash.
00:14:18I couldn't think of anything else, so I came back here.
00:14:21Your dad said, don't you dare touch Lily.
00:14:25Did you recognise the voice on the other side?
00:14:28Well, that's the thing.
00:14:30It was Dad's voice, but something sounded different.
00:14:34It was off.
00:14:35From the day I received the mysterious call, to the haunting night they were taken from me,
00:14:40every moment etched in this diary will be a step forward to justice.
00:14:44Lily, are you sure you want to be doing this right now?
00:14:47It's already been so hard on you.
00:14:49I need to, Ethan.
00:14:51I need to find the truth.
00:14:54But what about med school?
00:14:56Nothing's more important than this right now, and I've requested a gap year.
00:15:00Nothing's more important than this right now, and I've requested a gap year.
00:15:07We need to locate their phones.
00:15:09Dad's phone call could be the key to everything.
00:15:13I remember his voice vividly.
00:15:16There was tension, but it was unlike him.
00:15:20This is like chasing shadows.
00:15:22Okay, we don't even know if there's a connection between
00:15:25what happened on the phone and then what happened to your parents.
00:15:28I can't shake the feeling though.
00:15:30It's like a puzzle.
00:15:32Every piece I put down, I'm closer to the truth.
00:15:35Okay, well, I know this can be hard, but then can you
00:15:39recognize any change in your parents' behavior?
00:15:42Did they have any frequent guests or anything like that?
00:15:45No, everything was normal.
00:15:55Look at them.
00:15:57They had no idea.
00:16:00Hey.
00:16:01Hey.
00:16:04Wait.
00:16:07I know this is tough, but I'm going to be by your side, okay?
00:16:10We're going to get through this.
00:16:13No matter what.
00:16:30Lily, Ethan, what brings you here?
00:16:33We were wondering if you found my parents' phone at the crime scene.
00:16:39Take a seat.
00:16:40There's something you both need to know.
00:16:43What is it, detective?
00:16:47We couldn't find your parents' phone at the crime scene.
00:16:50The killer might have taken them before we arrived, but...
00:16:54What?
00:16:56We found a suicide note.
00:16:58It's a twisted situation.
00:17:01My parents would have never committed suicide.
00:17:04They lived happy lives.
00:17:05That's why we've been analyzing it.
00:17:07And I have something to show you.
00:17:15Take a look at the handwriting.
00:17:19Detective, this isn't my parents' handwriting.
00:17:22We thought as much.
00:17:23It adds another layer to the mystery.
00:17:27Well, if your parents didn't write it, then who wrote the note?
00:17:30That's what we're trying to figure out.
00:17:33The person responsible might be trying to divert attention.
00:17:36We have to find out who did this.
00:17:38We can't let them tarnish my parents' name.
00:17:40Be careful, Lily.
00:17:41I feel like the perpetrator wants you to find them.
00:17:46We'll be by your side.
00:17:48Whatever it takes.
00:17:50Don't worry.
00:17:51We'll get to the bottom of it.
00:17:53Now, let me get you home safely.
00:18:02Lily, Ethan, brace yourselves.
00:18:06The truth is stranger than what you might think.
00:18:08What is it, Detective?
00:18:10This town has secrets.
00:18:13Deep-rooted ones.
00:18:14I might not know all of them, but there's something odd.
00:18:18All of them, but there's something odd about its history.
00:18:23You both need to be really careful.
00:18:26This investigation could lead you into dangerous territory.
00:18:30Mum and Dad spoke of a library of this town.
00:18:32A repository of secrets.
00:18:35A library?
00:18:36What kind of secrets are we talking about?
00:18:38Your parents weren't wrong.
00:18:40This town has a hidden history.
00:18:43One not everyone is privy to.
00:18:45I may not have all the details, but I can sense the weight of its past.
00:18:50We need to find this library.
00:18:52It might have the information we need.
00:18:54I might find my family's history.
00:18:57We will.
00:18:58We owe it to your parents to enter this town.
00:19:00Be careful.
00:19:02I'm allowing you to investigate because the squad has dismissed this as suicide.
00:19:07Don't worry, Detective.
00:19:09We will.
00:19:15Right, now, you gotta get some rest, okay?
00:19:18No.
00:19:19I can't sleep.
00:19:20Not until I find out who murdered my parents.
00:19:22Okay, well, you're not going to solve it unless you are well-rested.
00:19:27Okay, go on.
00:19:27Go get some sleep.
00:19:31Okay.
00:19:36Okay, I'm going to go get some sleep.
00:19:38I'll see you later.
00:19:39Bye.
00:19:39Bye.
00:19:40Bye.
00:19:40Bye.
00:19:41Bye.
00:19:41Bye.
00:19:42Bye.
00:19:42Bye.
00:19:43Bye.
00:19:43Bye.
00:19:44Bye.
00:19:44Bye.
00:19:49You ready?
00:19:51Did you hear that?
00:19:53Hear what?
00:19:55I don't know, I just...
00:19:57I feel like someone's here, Ethan.
00:20:01What do you mean?
00:20:04I don't know.
00:20:05I just thought I heard something like footsteps.
00:20:08Look, we're the only ones here, okay?
00:20:10No one even knows that we're on to this.
00:20:13Who's there?
00:20:15What is happening?
00:20:17Are you okay?
00:20:20I just feel like someone's here with us.
00:20:22Look, if you're not comfortable being here, you can come back to my place.
00:20:27No.
00:20:28No, Ethan, I just...
00:20:30I didn't sleep well last night.
00:20:31I think I'm just being paranoid.
00:20:34I just...
00:20:35Well, maybe you just need some rest and we can do this library thing another day.
00:20:40No, no.
00:20:41We need to go now.
00:20:43Just...
00:20:45Okay, let's go.
00:20:58I can't believe it.
00:21:00Lily, we can't let this obstacle deter us, okay?
00:21:03It's got to be here somewhere.
00:21:04We just have to keep searching, you know?
00:21:06Remain vigilant.
00:21:07Do you think what we're looking for is even here?
00:21:11You know, it's a little hard for me to believe.
00:21:15But I mean, there's got to be a clue somewhere, right?
00:21:18Hidden compartment.
00:21:19Just something that will lead us to the truth.
00:21:22Nothing.
00:21:26Nothing.
00:21:27It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
00:21:29Lily, these secrets were meant to be hidden, right?
00:21:33So all we have to do is look for the right string to pull on and to unravel the whole thing.
00:21:40Yeah.
00:21:42Do you...
00:21:44Don't shake this feeling that someone's watching.
00:21:48Do you know what I mean?
00:21:50Lily, we just need to find the book and then we can go home, okay?
00:21:56You're right.
00:21:57You're right.
00:22:06I'm just thinking through this.
00:22:07I'm thinking through this.
00:22:14And nothing.
00:22:17I'm so-
00:22:18Careful, pretty lady.
00:22:19Path to enlightenment is often slippery.
00:22:24Names are only labels, but...
00:22:26You can call me Jake.
00:22:29Sorry.
00:22:31Don't mind my flirting.
00:22:33You from around here, Jake?
00:22:35No, I just moved here a few days ago, but I do have an old connection with this town.
00:22:42Is there anything I can help you guys find? I've worked here for a little bit and I've
00:22:45read almost every romance book in here. They're great.
00:22:50Well...
00:22:51By the way, are you guys a couple?
00:22:53Oh no, we're just friends.
00:22:58By the way, um, what should I call you?
00:23:01Oh, well, I'm Lily and this is Ethan. And actually, you might be able to help us.
00:23:06We're looking for this book that has all the secrets of this town. Have you heard of it?
00:23:11Does a book like that even exist?
00:23:14If it does, would it be safe in here in a library with no security?
00:23:19Well, I'm sure it exists. I've heard of it, so now it's just trying to find it.
00:23:25I mean, if you're sure it exists, I'll do everything I can to find it for you.
00:23:31Lily, we can't trust him, okay? We can't have anyone interfere with our investigation.
00:23:39Just so you know, I heard that.
00:23:47Seriously?
00:23:52You wanna read this one?
00:24:00I can't believe we came up empty-handed again.
00:24:04Yeah, I thought Jake would have had some answers, but Red N, too.
00:24:08Yeah, look, maybe we just need to widen our search area.
00:24:12Ask some more people around town if they know anything. I mean, surely somebody has to.
00:24:17You're right. We can't just stick to the one source.
00:24:20We need to find information from different sources.
00:24:26Ethan, do you ever get the feeling that someone's watching us?
00:24:30What do you mean?
00:24:32I don't know, just something, someone lurking in the shadows. I've got this eerie feeling, you know?
00:24:41Look, I think you might just be a bit stressed.
00:24:44Okay, the investigation's probably just taking its toll on us both.
00:24:49You're right. Stressed.
00:25:00I'm gonna be by your side, Lily. No matter what happens, okay? You be safe.
00:25:04Hey, it's Jake. We met yesterday at the library. You remember me?
00:25:32Yeah. Look, I don't think that we established a connection that would warrant you
00:25:36coming here without notifying us first.
00:25:39I bought you some freshly baked cookies. My specialty.
00:25:43Wow. Thanks, Jake.
00:25:46Jake! Come on in!
00:25:48Thank you, Lily.
00:25:50Now, before you guys suspect me of following you, the manager at the library gave me your address.
00:26:03He felt bad seeing me read books all day and thought I should make some friends.
00:26:07That's a great idea. We need all the help we can get.
00:26:11These cookies are amazing.
00:26:13No one makes better cookies than me.
00:26:15Oh, uh, by the way, that book you wanted from the library,
00:26:18the manager wanted me to tell you it was stolen some time ago.
00:26:22We thought that was the case.
00:26:24So, you two are living together?
00:26:27Oh, no, no. We're just friends. Ethan has his own place.
00:26:32Well, friends or not, it's great that you have each other.
00:26:37Yeah. Great.
00:26:44Are these your parents?
00:26:48I want to help you find the killer. We can investigate together.
00:26:52Lily, we need to be careful about who we trust.
00:26:54We can't just bring in a stranger. It could complicate things.
00:26:58I appreciate your offer. We need all the help we can get.
00:27:01Thank you, Lily.
00:27:02I know this couldn't have been easy for you, but I promise to help you out however I can.
00:27:07Ethan, we need to talk.
00:27:11Yes?
00:27:13I don't think we should live together anymore. It sends off the wrong impression.
00:27:17But Lily, I'm here to protect you, okay? I keep you safe.
00:27:20Protect? Ethan, I'm not a child anymore. I don't need protection. I'm fine by myself.
00:27:30Okay. If that's what you want to talk about, then I'll be happy to help you.
00:27:37That's what you want, but promise me you'll look after yourself.
00:27:41I promise. Okay, now go. We'll continue tomorrow.
00:27:57Lily, why don't you have any other relatives? No grandparents, no aunts, no uncles. It's unusual.
00:28:05I've always wondered that too, but my parents never spoke about any other family.
00:28:11Maybe they had a good reason for that. Don't worry. I'm sure you'll find out soon enough.
00:28:35Who are you? Why don't I know you?
00:29:06Who are you?
00:29:18Lily, what's going on? Is everything okay?
00:29:38Lily, there's nothing here. It was probably just a bad dream. Everything's okay.
00:29:51It wasn't a dream, Jake. There's blood.
00:29:54I believe you. Everything will be alright. Just trust me.
00:30:08What's happening here?
00:30:12What does it look like? She's sleeping.
00:30:14Do you really think that I don't know what you're trying to do here?
00:30:17What am I trying to do?
00:30:19Look, if you so much as harm one hair on her head, you are dead.
00:30:23Whatever.
00:30:38I'm sorry.
00:30:53Dear Lily, I thought you didn't sleep well last night, so I didn't want to wake you. Sorry I used
00:30:58your kitchen without permission, but I made you some delicious food. Don't forget to heat it up
00:31:03before eating. This is my number. Text me if you need anything.
00:31:33I'm going to find the truth.
00:32:03Hello? Is anyone there?
00:32:23She's getting creepy. Show yourself!
00:32:34Jake, what are you doing here?
00:32:46You know, just being a superhero, saving the day and all.
00:32:50A superhero, huh? I didn't realize I needed a caped crusader.
00:32:54Every damsel in distress deserves a hero, even if I did forget to bring my cape.
00:33:00How did you find me?
00:33:01Have you checked your phone? I sent you a thousand messages.
00:33:05Oh, no, I didn't. I should start looking at my phone more often.
00:33:09Don't worry about it. Now, before we dive into a million questions, can you do me a favor?
00:33:15What's the favor?
00:33:17Ask me how I'm doing. A little concern for your superhero, maybe?
00:33:22Poor superhero. How are you?
00:33:25Much better now that I'm with you. Being a superhero has its perks.
00:33:29Thanks for helping me.
00:33:33I'd do anything for you, Lily.
00:33:36Hey, well, are you right to get up? I'll help you.
00:33:40Yeah, cut. Doesn't seem too bad.
00:33:48Hey, Lily. Is everything okay?
00:33:51Yeah, if it wasn't for Jake, I don't think I would have made it back alive.
00:33:54Are you hurt anywhere?
00:33:56No, I'm not, but Jake's hurt.
00:33:58I had to save you at all costs, because someone told me.
00:34:01If there was a scratch on you, I'd be dead by now.
00:34:05Why didn't you call me?
00:34:07Everything happened so fast. I'm sorry.
00:34:10Did you get a look at the guy's face?
00:34:12Um, no, I couldn't.
00:34:15No, even if we did see his face, it wouldn't make a difference.
00:34:18He was hired by someone else to intimidate Lily, not hurt her.
00:34:22Thank you, Jake.
00:34:24Don't thank me. Lily's my friend, too.
00:34:27I'll look out for her, no matter what.
00:34:32All right, anyway, you should probably give me some attention now.
00:34:36Maybe stop the bleeding.
00:34:49Now don't go finding any more opportunities to play superhero, right?
00:34:55Why didn't you call me, Lily?
00:34:57That's what I'm here for.
00:34:58I thought I could do it on my own.
00:35:02You should stay here, rest up.
00:35:05Lily?
00:35:06He's injured, Ethan.
00:35:08He should stay.
00:35:12Yes, Lily, he is injured, so he should stay here.
00:35:27Lily, we need to talk.
00:35:30Ethan, what's wrong?
00:35:33What's going on between you two?
00:35:41Well, come on, Lily. I thought we were all friends.
00:35:43We are just friends. Jake and I were just...
00:35:46Sharing a moment?
00:35:49Lily, what happened to us? I feel like I'm losing you.
00:35:53Lily, you can't just trust everyone around you.
00:35:57What? You think Jake murdered my parents? Is that what you're saying?
00:36:00No, no, no, I don't mean it like that.
00:36:03I just... I think you need to be a little bit more cautious.
00:36:06How do I know you didn't do it?
00:36:08Lily, I'm your friend. I've known you since childhood.
00:36:14I don't know anything anymore.
00:36:15I'm not your enemy, Lily.
00:36:19You've spent my life.
00:36:21I need to be by myself. Just... just go.
00:36:26Fine, Lily. You do what you have to do.
00:36:37Ethan, how's Lily doing?
00:36:40She's been acting... strange.
00:36:43Rough time. Care to share more?
00:36:47It's all... Jake.
00:36:49Ever since he's come into our life, everything's just been so complicated.
00:36:53Jake? Who's Jake?
00:36:55It's complicated. I don't want to talk about it.
00:36:58Ethan, you need to be careful. Lily's emotional state can cloud her judgment.
00:37:04Who is this guy? A stranger spending time with Lily?
00:37:08I know.
00:37:12I have something important to tell you.
00:37:13Lily, I was going through old police records and I found an old first information report against Mr. Turner.
00:37:20His dad?
00:37:22Yes, a woman filed a complaint, but he was never jailed. I don't know why.
00:37:27Who filed the complaint? Why?
00:37:29The woman's name was redacted from the record.
00:37:32But it seems her husband died and she suspected Mr. Turner to be the perpetrator.
00:37:37It's a missing piece, it's possible.
00:37:40Maybe if we find this woman we'll be able to find out more.
00:37:43Does Lily know about this?
00:37:45No, and I think it's crucial she doesn't find out until we find out more information.
00:37:52Sure, I'll look after a detective.
00:37:56But we need to get to the bottom of this.
00:38:01Things are getting serious now, Ethan.
00:38:04Every detail of our conversation should stay with us and only us.
00:38:09And find out more about Jake, please.
00:38:14Lily, I've been thinking. Maybe I should go back to my place. I get the feeling Ethan doesn't want me here anymore.
00:38:29What? No, you should stay. You haven't even recovered yet.
00:38:33I appreciate it, but I don't want to cause any problems between you two.
00:38:37Ethan's just being protective. He's been acting a bit strange lately, but don't let that affect you.
00:38:43Please, stay.
00:38:47Only for you, Lily.
00:38:50You've been so supportive of me ever since I've met you.
00:38:54I care for you, Lily.
00:38:56You know, my parents passed away and I was all alone. It was just me and Ethan.
00:39:02But lately, he's been acting so weird.
00:39:06Weird how?
00:39:08I don't know, I can't put my finger on it, but I feel like he's hiding something from me.
00:39:12Lily, you don't have to face these things by yourself anymore. I'm here for you.
00:39:22Lily, I have something to tell you.
00:39:29I'm developing feelings for you.
00:39:37Lily, there's something I've never shared with anyone before.
00:39:43What is it, Jake?
00:39:44My childhood was really traumatic. I grew up an orphan.
00:39:50I had no idea.
00:39:53My parents died when I was really young.
00:39:56My father was murdered and my mother was so heartbroken, she took her own life.
00:40:06I never got the justice they deserved.
00:40:09I had no idea you had such a tragic and painful childhood. I'm so sorry.
00:40:15I never thought I'd find someone who could understand my pain, Lily.
00:40:20I'm here for you. You're not alone.
00:40:24Thank you, Lily. You mean a lot to me.
00:40:29You and I, Lily, we both suffered through so much, but
00:40:35together, I know we can find the justice that's eluded us.
00:40:41Losing my parents in such a tragic way,
00:40:46it haunts me every day.
00:40:51I don't know how you went through it by yourself.
00:40:54But you, Lily, you understand that pain too.
00:40:59Your parents, this tragic mystery surrounding their deaths.
00:41:05It's like we're bound together by fate.
00:41:08It's uncanny how our stories align.
00:41:13But we'll find the justice that we deserve. I promise you.
00:41:17I was hoping you'd say that, Lily.
00:41:20Together, I know nothing will be able to stop us.
00:41:31I have this album.
00:41:34I recognize them, but I don't recognize anyone else in it.
00:41:42I've told you everything I know.
00:41:44Because, Lily, the truth is elusive, and I can't stand half-truths.
00:41:49If you want to solve this, you need to confront everything, even if it hurts.
00:41:53I thought we were working together. Why are you making this an interrogation?
00:41:57Because this is how we get to the truth, Lily.
00:42:00By pushing boundaries and facing uncomfortable realities.
00:42:04Maybe you're not as committed to this as I am.
00:42:07I am committed, but I won't be treated like this. We're meant to be a team.
00:42:12A team? Teams don't hide things from each other.
00:42:15Why are you acting like this, Jake?
00:42:18I... I'm just trying to get to the truth. Isn't that what you want too?
00:42:23It's not just about the truth. It's how you get there.
00:42:26I'm sorry, Lily. I'm just doing this because I care about you. You know that.
00:42:37It's fine.
00:42:48Lily, there's something I need to tell you.
00:42:50What is it?
00:42:51I've been thinking a lot about our connection.
00:42:54I need you in every part of my life.
00:42:57Jake, you're hurting me.
00:42:59I'm sorry, Lily. It's just... I need you so much.
00:43:03Jake, please. Can you let go? Discuss this later?
00:43:07Lily, please. I can't live without you.
00:43:10Jake, I do love you, but you're moving too fast.
00:43:14I've shared my deepest, darkest secrets.
00:43:16I've opened up to you about stuff that I've never told anyone. Does that mean anything to you?
00:43:22Jake, I care about you, but I can't make any drastic decisions right now.
00:43:28I thought you understood. I thought we had something special.
00:43:33We do, but what we have is important. But we don't want to go rushing into anything.
00:43:39Let's take it step by step. Please?
00:43:44I'm sorry. Just...
00:43:46It's fine. No. No. No, you're... No, you're right.
00:43:53You're right. Let's... Let's... Let's wait a bit.
00:44:07Hey, Lily. It's been a while since we've had a catch-up.
00:44:11Yeah, things haven't been the same as what they used to be.
00:44:14Uh, are you still investigating?
00:44:17Yeah, Jake's been a great help. We've made some progress.
00:44:22Um, is everything okay? What happened to your wrist?
00:44:26Yeah, everything's fine. It's just an accident. Jake's been taking care of me.
00:44:31Jake... Lily, are you sure everything's okay? I just... I don't want to see you get hurt.
00:44:37Ethan, Jake and I have been through so much together. And we've become close. And we like each other.
00:44:46Like each other? Wait... I mean, is it serious?
00:44:55Well, we're still figuring things out, but for your information, we've been talking about marriage.
00:45:01Marriage? I mean, you can't be serious.
00:45:06I mean, you can't just rush into something like that.
00:45:10Ethan, you can't decide who I can and can't be with.
00:45:16Okay, I just... I don't want to see you make a mistake.
00:45:22Well, I won't.
00:45:28Why was Ethan here, Lily?
00:45:29We're just friends. What's the big deal?
00:45:31I don't want him coming over to our place anymore. He's trying to ruin our relationship.
00:45:35You're overreacting. He's just concerned.
00:45:37Concerned? No. Lily, he's trying to ruin us. He's jealous of me and he hates us.
00:45:41Jake, just stop. You're making a mess.
00:45:43He's the one making a mess of everything. I can't stand him. It's either him or me.
00:45:48Jake, just stop. Please. Let's get married. Let's get married.
00:45:56We're getting married?
00:45:58Yeah. Let's get married. Ethan will... He won't be in our way anymore.
00:46:05It'll be good.
00:46:07You really mean that, Lily?
00:46:10Yeah, we can start our life together.
00:46:13I never thought I'd get proposed to in the middle of a rage fit.
00:46:19Well, it's the only thing I thought would stop your mood, so...
00:46:25You sure know how to surprise me, Lily.
00:46:27Ethan, has Lily shared anything else with you about the case?
00:46:38She mentioned something about a phone call she received from her dad on the day that...
00:46:45He said something like, don't you dare do anything to Lily.
00:46:50That's a significant detail. It implies a sense of forewarning,
00:46:54but it also raises other questions. Who would target Lily?
00:47:01I don't know. I just... I keep having her dad's words echo in my mind.
00:47:08We need to consider all possibilities. The woman who filed the complaint against Mr. Turner
00:47:14committed suicide. Maybe a relative is seeking vengeance, or there's another angle we're missing.
00:47:26Perhaps Lily's parents weren't the primary target. Lily might be.
00:47:33Then Lily might be the actual target.
00:47:36The theory? If someone is after her, we need to know who they are and why.
00:47:41To save her, we need to understand connections, motives.
00:47:48We need to dig back through their history, work out if they had any family enemies,
00:47:53or whether they were involved in something that could get them into trouble.
00:47:56Exactly. We need to uncover every single detail, no matter how small. Lily's safety depends on it.
00:48:04Do you think that Lily's parents might be involved in something that could put Lily in danger?
00:48:12It's a possibility, Ethan. That's why we need to explore every connection, every lead.
00:48:18We can't afford to overlook anything.
00:48:20If she is in danger right now, we can't afford to waste time on things like that.
00:48:24Do everything we can, Ethan, but we need to be cautious.
00:48:27If there is someone out there targeting him, we don't want to tip them off.
00:48:33You're right. We need to continue to gather evidence discreetly.
00:48:41Lily, we need to talk.
00:48:50There's nothing left to say.
00:48:52Lily, please. We can't end things like this.
00:48:58Make it quick.
00:49:01Look around us, Lily. This isn't us. What happened?
00:49:11It's Jake, isn't it? Lily, I don't even know where I stand with you anymore.
00:49:20You can't keep avoiding the question, Lily. I deserve more than this.
00:49:25I'm marrying Jake and that's it. Okay?
00:49:30I-
00:49:30No. Don't contact me ever again.
00:49:41Lily, I'm sorry.
00:49:48Sarah, Lily gave me this note that says,
00:49:50go check Jake's place. I think she might be in trouble.
00:49:54Lily might be on to something.
00:49:56She's in danger, Sarah. I think we should contact her first.
00:50:00She gave you that note because she didn't want Jake to suspect anything.
00:50:03Let's not waste any time.
00:50:11It's a mess.
00:50:17This looks like a psychopath's lair. I think Lily could be in real danger.
00:50:25Let's search the place thoroughly. Lily's instincts might have brought her here for a reason.
00:50:41Sarah, look at this.
00:50:45It's a picture of Lily's parents with a cross through it and a picture of Lily circled.
00:51:00This is unsettling.
00:51:11Ethan, do you recognize this?
00:51:28It's a picture of Lily when she was young playing with a boy.
00:51:34Lily?
00:51:38Wait, Lily has this picture, which means that the boy must be Jake.
00:51:46You're saying Jake knew Lily since childhood?
00:51:50I think this all goes a lot deeper than what we first thought.
00:51:53If Jake is connected to Lily's past somehow,
00:51:57that means he's not telling us the truth about who he really is.
00:52:04Lily, I came to check on you. Are you holding up?
00:52:19I appreciate you coming, but you shouldn't stay too long.
00:52:25Lily, what's going on? You look...real.
00:52:30It's Jake. He's not the person I thought he was.
00:52:34He's become obsessive, and I fear for your safety if you stay too long.
00:52:40Lily, we need to get you out of here. We can figure out a plan together.
00:52:46It's not safe. You're living with him.
00:52:49Did you find anything in his house?
00:52:51I don't want to say anything I'll regret later. Please, let's go.
00:52:55No, Sarah, I can't let you risk your life for me.
00:52:58I don't know what he's capable of. You need to leave.
00:53:01I'll give you this. It's an address. We can speak freely here.
00:53:09We need to plan this carefully.
00:53:18We'll find out a way to help you, Lily. You're not alone in this.
00:53:31How's Lily? Is she okay?
00:53:33No, Ethan, she's not okay. Jake's behavior has taken a dark turn, and we need to act, fast.
00:53:38We have to save her now, okay? Whatever it takes.
00:53:41We'll save her.
00:53:48Tomorrow we're getting married, Lily. Our love is so strong. Nothing can come between us.
00:53:56Jake, you're moving too fast. We need to slow down.
00:53:59You don't think I don't see what you've done? Now you've been conspiring against me?
00:54:03You really think I wouldn't know that you've been talking to Ethan and Sarah about me?
00:54:07You'll never get away from me, Lily.
00:54:10Let's not have any secrets between us. Let's talk about this calmly.
00:54:14Calmly? You think I'm going to let you get away with everything you've done?
00:54:19You'll never escape me, Lily.
00:54:22Oh, just you wait, Lily. Tomorrow's going to be the best day of my life.
00:54:29I'm so excited.
00:54:36I didn't believe it, Sarah. Mr. Turner is not guilty.
00:54:41He was accused out of grief, but the tragedy doesn't end there.
00:54:45Done some digging? Turns out the two families are good friends.
00:54:49Mr. Turner tried to save the man who was hit by the car, but he died on the way to the hospital.
00:54:55The man's wife, struck with grief, accused him of murder and then later committed suicide.
00:55:02And their boy, their only child, was then sent to an orphanage.
00:55:07So the son's life took a dark turn after that.
00:55:10It only gets more disturbing from there. The son, raised in the aftermath of his family's demise,
00:55:18became a psychopath. He was sent to a mental hospital, which he escaped from one year ago.
00:55:25They're still looking for him.
00:55:29Sarah, that boy from the orphanage? That's Jake. He's the one that we've been looking for from the
00:55:36beginning. Jake. He was right in front of us all this time. Right here in this town.
00:55:46That's why he's got this obsession with Lily. It's some sort of twisted connection to his past.
00:55:53Lily's in grave danger, Sarah. I hope she's okay.
00:55:58Let's get her to the address you provided us and make a plan with her.
00:56:10Meet me at the abandoned warehouse.
00:56:15Lily usually takes time to reply. Why would she respond so quickly?
00:56:31It's Jake. He's using Lily's phone.
00:56:36We can't go to that location, Sarah. It's a trap. He must be planning something for us.
00:56:41Right.
00:56:49What were you three planning against me?
00:56:53Nothing.
00:56:55Doesn't matter. We're gonna be married soon. Everything's gonna be fine.
00:57:04Hey, maybe we should celebrate. Seeing as both of your companions are gonna be dead soon.
00:57:11No. Jake, please. You don't have to do this. Please.
00:57:14Anyone who stands in our way will pay the price. I won't let anything come between us.
00:57:22Please don't hurt them. You don't have to hurt them.
00:57:26Deja vu. Where have I heard this before?
00:57:30You're begging for their lives the same way that your parents begged for your life.
00:57:43You killed my parents? Yeah, I did. Why? What did they do to you?
00:57:51Oh, oh, don't worry, Lily. Tomorrow's our wedding day.
00:57:56Oh, don't worry, Lily. Tomorrow's our wedding day.
00:58:00And there's still so much you need to know because right now, you know nothing.
00:58:09I can't believe I'm living with my parents' murderer.
00:58:14Did you seriously think you could get away, Lily?
00:58:19Even now, you're still trying to run away.
00:58:22You won't get away with this.
00:58:26I already have. Our destinies are sealed, Lily. Nothing can stop this.
00:58:37We need to find Lily. Jake won't stop until he gets what he wants.
00:58:40You're right. Let's go to Lily's place.
00:58:42Stay in the car. Keep it locked. If you see anything, call me.
00:59:12Police!
00:59:42They were just here. He's taken her somewhere else. She's in danger.
00:59:51Did she mention anywhere else she could have been? Anywhere else?
01:00:03It's almost time, Lily. Our eternal bond begins now.
01:00:06I won't be a part of your sick fantasy.
01:00:09We need to distract him. Give him a chance to escape.
01:00:15I'm with you.
01:00:22Guys, where's my invite? I thought we were all friends here.
01:00:26How the hell are you alive?
01:00:28I guess it's not my time yet, Jake. It looks like yours is about to run out.
01:00:32Take one more step and I'll kill him right now.
01:00:34I told you, if you so much as harm one hair on her head, you are a dead man.
01:00:39Let her go, Jake.
01:00:41What the hell? How are you two alive?
01:00:44Because we're not psychopaths like you.
01:00:54Ethan!
01:00:56You're okay, right?
01:00:57I'm fine. Ethan, it was him. He's the one who-
01:01:00I know, I know. I'm so sorry it took us so long to save you.
01:01:04So, Jake, would you like to go to the police station or back to the mentals?
01:01:08Everything was going so smooth.
01:01:11Why'd you kill her parents, Jake?
01:01:13Our families were so close.
01:01:17Our friendship was supposed to turn into a relationship.
01:01:21And then her father killed my father and my mother.
01:01:24Oh, please. It was an accident. He didn't kill your father.
01:01:28My mother's wish of me marrying Lily was supposed to come true.
01:01:34And then I would kill her and myself.
01:01:37And we would all be happy in the afterlife.
01:01:40Well, I'm sorry, Jake, but I guess I ruined your plan.
01:01:43You destroyed my life!
01:01:44You destroyed it yourself.
01:01:58Your plan was nothing short of insanity, Jake.
01:02:07Now you'll face the consequences.
01:02:10Get up!
01:02:14You're gonna rot in a cell for the rest of your life.
01:02:21I trusted him.
01:02:24How could I have been so blind?
01:02:26It's okay.
01:02:28It's over now, and I'll make sure that he pays for his sins.
01:02:35You were brave to face him.
01:02:37I couldn't have done it without you or Ethan.
01:02:39Sarah's been great.
01:02:41And you know I'll always be by your side.
01:02:46We'll make sure he pays for what he's done here today.
01:02:50No one's gonna hurt you again, Lily.
01:02:52Thank you, Ethan.
01:02:53I just want this nightmare to end.
01:02:55It's over now.
01:02:58But it might take some time for things to feel normal again.
01:03:02If you ever need anything, you know where to find me.
01:03:23Well, we're home now.
01:03:26It's all been settled.
01:03:29No one's gonna hurt you anymore.
01:03:32I can't believe I didn't trust you in this.
01:03:35You should have known.
01:03:41Okay, well...
01:03:45I'm gonna leave.
01:03:49No, wait.
01:03:51Ethan, I want to start an online.
01:03:55I'm so exhausted from all of this.
01:03:59I think that sounds like a great idea.
01:04:02A fresh start might be exactly what you need right now.
01:04:06I want to start a new life with you.
01:04:09I promise to be a better person, and maybe you could even visit me at med school.
01:04:15And you know I'll be by your side, right?
01:04:19No matter what?
01:04:20Thank you, Ethan.
01:04:22I don't know what I'd do without you.
