00:00:00You
00:00:07Something terrible happened last summer
00:00:09You didn't come to the hospital or call. Why did you forbid everyone from talking to me about my own fucking life?
00:00:16You are doing this to yourself Katie. It is your own broken brain. That is the enemy you are raging against
00:00:23You're leaving don't open it until your birthday next week, okay?
00:00:31You know, I thought you might just reinstate the no boyfriends on Beachwood rule. Cadence will be just fine
00:00:36You never liked them. Did you? Gat and Ed. Are you saying I'm racist? Want yourself or you get hurt?
00:00:43I believe in who we are who we have been for centuries. He's too far gone. Look, he's been revising his will
00:00:49I think he plans to leave all of it to one favored daughter or grandchild
00:00:54What if we made a mess so big only a Sinclair could clean it up? What if all the petty
00:01:00Material things that tore our family apart were just gone. We could tear it down teach Harris and the moms the ultimate lesson
00:01:07I remember it now. We burnt this place to the ground
00:01:19If you want to live where people aren't afraid of mice
00:01:21If you want to live where people aren't afraid of mice
00:01:22If you want to live where people aren't afraid of mice, you must give up living in palaces
00:01:26Or maybe, just maybe, you burn the fucking palace to the ground
00:01:33Could you, um, imagine?
00:01:36I could imagine the moms' faces
00:01:40Guys, I mean it. Claremont's just a pile of trophies
00:01:43Trophies won with a bullshit unfair advantage
00:01:46Yeah, it's basically the seat of the patriarchy
00:01:49Yeah, with Harris at the head of the table
00:01:51Right, so if it was all gone, we'd have to start over
00:01:54Maybe they'd stop
00:01:57Maybe we'd be a family again
00:02:00It'd be like a purification
00:02:02I mean, things can't get any worse, right?
00:02:05God
00:02:07This is usually where you chime in as a voice of reason
00:02:10It's the Sinclair house, I don't get a say
00:02:13Oh
00:02:14What, you guys know I'm not even gonna be welcome here anymore
00:02:16Well, that's exactly why we have to do something
00:02:18They're tearing each other apart, and us along with them
00:02:21Look, they need to learn
00:02:23Uh-uh, they'll punish us and send us to some boarding school in the Swiss Alps
00:02:27No, we are so sorry that we overflowed the dishwasher and we swiped the good whiskey
00:02:34Then we made s'mores and watched movies at Cuddledown
00:02:40We watched Ferris Bueller and Sixth Sense for Johnny
00:02:43And then we fell asleep
00:02:45And we smelled the smoke too late
00:02:48And they wouldn't believe us, but it wouldn't matter
00:02:50Because
00:02:51People might talk, right?
00:02:52Yes, they would ask questions like
00:02:54How did the Sinclair girls screw up their kids so bad that they burned their house down?
00:03:01Okay, it's a genius plan, but we don't know how to do arson
00:03:04Okay, well, we'll divide and conquer
00:03:05I mean, there's plenty of fuel in the boathouse
00:03:08I'm on a new level
00:03:10Something's got me feeling like I could be inflammable
00:03:14We have to be thorough
00:03:16I'll do the downstairs
00:03:17I'll do the east wing
00:03:19Fuck yeah, Mirren
00:03:20You just want to see your mom's old room burn, you fucking pyro
00:03:23Okay, I'll cover the attic
00:03:25We work from the top down
00:03:27Gas it up, light the match, and get the fuck out
00:03:31And me?
00:03:34The boat is docked at Windermere, right?
00:03:37Bring the boat around, and you can be our getaway driver
00:03:39It'll be perfect
00:03:40I don't drive the boat
00:03:41You know that
00:03:42Okay, yes
00:03:43Gat, look
00:03:44You'll be able to say you didn't see the fire start
00:03:47And you got us all to safety
00:03:49And it won't even be a lie
00:03:51And once the things inside are gone, their power will be gone
00:03:54And Harris will have to give you a big hero's welcome back next summer
00:03:58Ed too, even
00:04:00We can fix this
00:04:01I...
00:04:02Fuck it, I want to help
00:04:04It's a big house
00:04:09We need it to spread fast before the fire department can get to us
00:04:11After I help with the arsenal, I'll get the boat over
00:04:14No gas in the main staircase, okay? We need a safe way out
00:04:16And then when the grandfather clock strikes twelve, we like the match
00:04:21And when we run like hell
00:04:23No matter what
00:04:24No matter fucking what
00:04:25We run
00:04:27Life's forever, right?
00:04:28Life's forever
00:04:29Life's forever
00:04:30Life's forever

00:05:01Life's forever
00:05:02Life's forever
00:05:03It makes sense now.
00:05:13I can't believe we did it.
00:05:16The moms haven't been fighting, and Gat was invited back.
00:05:21It worked.
00:05:23I mean, it...
00:05:23Mir, she remembers the fire is all.
00:05:25Yeah.
00:05:33Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:05:35I'm missing something.
00:05:38This still doesn't explain how I ended up in the water.
00:05:45Come on, we should go get Gat.
00:05:48All right?
00:05:49We'll be better.
00:05:58Come on, Katie!
00:06:01She's gonna remember the rest.
00:06:03Soon.
00:06:04She's starting to piece everything together.
00:06:08I think I get it.
00:06:10Did we swim off the boat after the fire to celebrate?
00:06:13I hit my head, and you couldn't find me, right?
00:06:15You were scared, we were drunk,
00:06:17we had just committed a felony, so you left.
00:06:19No.
00:06:20No, no.
00:06:20I understand.
00:06:22I do.
00:06:23I needed you to be invited back, Gat.
00:06:25And here you are, so it's worth it to me.
00:06:27Katie, stop.
00:06:28We don't know how you got in the water.
00:06:30Okay, well...
00:06:30I told you the truth about that.
00:06:32Well, you know something, that I don't...
00:06:33Just a little bit.
00:06:35And it's not like we can just straight up tell you.
00:06:37Every time people do, you just...
00:06:40Yeah, and then you forget anyways.
00:06:42Katie, we really want to help you.
00:06:44We do.
00:06:44It's just that that's not...
00:06:45It's just like every time that I get close to the truth,
00:06:48this pain dragon crawls into my brain,
00:06:51and it shuts me down.
00:06:53But when we're just liars being liars,
00:06:55the dragon gets distracted.
00:07:00I have an idea.
00:07:05All right, ready?
00:07:06Just a familiar, non-triggering, peaceful activity.
00:07:11Choose your words carefully.
00:07:13I prefer dirty word scrabble to trigger trauma scrabble.
00:07:17Don't wake the dragon.
00:07:18Who's first?
00:07:19You keep a secret with your force.
00:07:23Cheers!
00:07:51Cheers!
00:07:52Molotov cocktails from a summer of the Sinclair Sisters empties.
00:07:57Poetic. Kind of.
00:08:00Let's see you in a better world.
00:08:03I remember.
00:08:05You and I, in the kitchen.
00:08:08Right?
00:08:11See you in a better world.
00:08:15Okay. We got this.
00:08:18Hey. Hey!
00:08:20All right.
00:08:22No, no, no, no.
00:08:25Here's the gas.
00:08:26Thought it'd be easier to carry upstairs than the big red one.
00:08:29Genius.
00:08:31Midnight, yeah?
00:08:32Today, bro.
00:08:33It's ironic, isn't it, huh?
00:08:38The Boston Sentinel.
00:08:39The paper that started the Sinclair Publishing Empire.
00:08:43The thing that paid for this house is what will burn it down.
00:08:46And I know I spelled it right this time, so...
00:08:56Redemption, or whatever.
00:08:59The plan was for you to start in the attic, right?
00:09:05Yeah.
00:09:06A lot of memories up there.
00:09:09A lot of memories up there.
00:09:22I was so excited to torch my mother's childhood bedroom.
00:09:25She was the worst of them all.
00:09:27Chasing the money, coming for her sisters with claws out.
00:09:30Honestly, that's the only reason why I agreed to the plan at all.
00:09:33I bet it felt good.
00:09:35It was just a guest bedroom.
00:09:37It's not like Grant kept a shrine to her teen magazines
00:09:40or expired nail polishes.
00:09:42Maybe she never even had that kind of mess.
00:09:44Maybe she was just always toxic positivity.
00:09:47Perfection.
00:09:49Anyways, Katie, I don't...
00:09:50Is this really even helping you at all right now?
00:09:52Yes. Yes.
00:09:53Okay.
00:09:54I think so.
00:09:58I remember some of it.
00:10:00The smell.
00:10:01I felt...
00:10:03high off of it.
00:10:07The gasoline.
00:10:10The adrenaline.
00:10:20I felt like a revolutionary.
00:10:23I tried talking to my mom, to Harris, but they didn't listen.
00:10:30So they deserved this.
00:10:32For not seeing Gat or Ed or anyone but Sinclair's.
00:10:46I had fallen in love with someone Harris Sinclair deemed unworthy.
00:10:50And I needed to cleanse his hate.
00:11:02I believed in my soul that if we tore it down, we'd be able to rebuild.
00:11:07A fresh start for all of us.
00:11:09Midnight.
00:11:10Midnight.
00:11:11Midnight.
00:11:12Midnight.
00:11:13Midnight.
00:11:14Midnight.
00:11:15Midnight.
00:11:16Midnight.
00:11:21Midnight.
00:11:23Midnight.
00:11:53Smoke really stings, doesn't it?
00:12:12And I never realized how loud fire can be.
00:12:37The dogs.
00:12:47No!
00:12:48No!
00:12:49I'm coming!
00:12:50I'm coming!
00:12:51My mom had given them their anxiety pills so they'd be quiet during dinner.
00:12:54No!
00:12:55No!
00:12:56No!
00:12:57No!
00:12:58No, no, no.
00:13:03No, no, no.
00:13:10No, no.
00:13:13No, no.
00:13:16No!
00:13:22No.
00:13:24No!
00:13:26Go, go, go!
00:13:56Come on, come on.
00:14:26Come on, come on.
00:14:56Drunk on spirits and folly, she roared in on her dragon and unleashed hell and fire.
00:15:03In her arrogance, she forgot the most important lesson of all.
00:15:08Revolution is bloody, and too often, it's the innocent who fall.
00:15:12There you go.
00:15:22Give me that.
00:15:24Oh, give me that.
00:15:25Oh, give me that.
00:15:27Grandad.
00:15:28Oh.
00:15:29Oh.
00:15:30Oh.
00:15:31Caden's the first.
00:15:32Come, sit.
00:15:33We didn't do the annual Sandcastle contest this year, did we?
00:15:41Someone had to remind me.
00:15:43I just wanted to say I'm...
00:15:48I'm sorry.
00:15:50You've collected yourself, then?
00:15:51Your memories?
00:15:52Well...
00:15:53I do miss them.
00:15:55At strange moments.
00:15:57Inconvenient ones always, it seems.
00:16:00And don't be sorry.
00:16:01You were heroic.
00:16:07A fine example.
00:16:07It's just that faulty wiring to blame, and that gaspane.
00:16:14Hey.
00:16:15What do you think about me and the liars coming to New Claremont?
00:16:20What do you think about me and the liars coming to New Claremont?
00:16:25What do you think about me and the liars coming to New Claremont?
00:16:30What do you think about me and the liars coming to New Claremont to have dinner with you tonight?
00:16:37All of us, I mean.
00:16:40Gat, too.
00:16:41I think it's important he knows he's welcome now.
00:16:46Yeah.
00:16:50Your 18th birthday, I'm sorry.
00:16:59Your 18th birthday's coming.
00:17:06Yep.
00:17:07Three days.
00:17:08Mm.
00:17:09Yeah, time.
00:17:11Hard to keep track of in the summer, isn't it?
00:17:16Yeah.
00:17:18I've, um...
00:17:19I've been hanging on to these.
00:17:22I'd rather not.
00:17:24Oh, no, it's your birthday gift.
00:17:26You just open it?
00:17:29When you're ready.
00:17:31Thanks.
00:17:33What's up?
00:17:40What's up so little girl?
00:17:41Yeah, why don't you open it up?
00:17:46I'm excited.
00:17:48I'm excited.
00:17:52I'm not worried about you here.
00:18:24Hey, Katie.
00:18:26What are you doing out here?
00:18:27Hey, we saw you talking to Harris.
00:18:28We thought we should check on you.
00:18:32I think he knows something.
00:18:37Or everything.
00:18:39And he gave me these.
00:18:41The family noose of love.
00:18:43How did those even survive the fire?
00:18:46Katie?
00:18:51We tried to warn you, okay?
00:18:52These aren't happy memories.
00:18:54No.
00:18:55Bet you're missing your amnesia right about it now.
00:18:56No.
00:18:57No!
00:18:58I need to know.
00:19:00Where were you when they found me on the beach?
00:19:02And why didn't you call?
00:19:05Why didn't any of you call?
00:19:10Hey, Katie?
00:19:13You're okay.
00:19:14Katie, you need to call now.
00:19:16I need to bring Anakin to that.
00:19:17It's okay, she's going to be fine, Katie.
00:19:18Hey, Katie, where are you going?
00:19:20No!
00:19:24I'm strong enough to know my own story.
00:19:40Please.
00:19:41I need to know my own stories.
00:19:50Okay.
00:19:53Yes.
00:19:59The plan was to meet at midnight.
00:20:02I was there at 11.56.
00:20:04Yes, I was ready.
00:20:09I was ready, too.
00:20:11I was about to light up my mom's old bedroom.
00:20:14And then I found something.
00:20:15I was about to meet her.
00:20:33My mom tried.
00:20:34I don't know why she couldn't just say sorry, but at least she was trying.
00:20:38I suddenly felt so guilty, but we had a plan.
00:20:47Light a match and get out.
00:21:08I admit, I got a little distracted.
00:21:11I admit, I got a little distracted.
00:21:13I almost didn't hear the clock, but I did.
00:21:41I heard it in time.
00:21:43I didn't even light up the mess that I made.
00:21:46I just, I got the hell out of there, but the smoke rose up the turret so fast.
00:22:04The clock struck 12, the fire had started.
00:22:07You were supposed to come out, light the match, and get out.
00:22:11Fuck.
00:22:17Fuck.
00:22:18Fuck.
00:22:20Fuck.
00:22:21Fuck.
00:22:22Fuck.
00:22:22Fuck.
00:22:24Fuck.
00:22:24Oh, my God.
00:22:54There was so much fire.
00:23:02Maybe I got turned around.
00:23:03I don't know.
00:23:04Johnny!
00:23:08I couldn't wait.
00:23:09I had to chase you, Cadence.
00:23:18I searched everywhere.
00:23:20I guess I've searched too long.
00:23:24Cadence!
00:23:28It was the newspapers, maybe.
00:23:30Too much kindling.
00:23:32Johnny!
00:23:34Johnny!
00:23:36Cadence!
00:23:37Too much accelerant.
00:23:38Cadence!
00:23:39Cadence!
00:23:41Where are you?
00:23:42We didn't even think about the gas line.
00:23:45Cadence!
00:23:46Cadence!
00:23:46Cadence!
00:23:54Cadence!
00:23:55Cadence!
00:24:04Cadence!
00:24:05We all made mistakes, and there were consequences.
00:24:16Turns out we really didn't know how to do arson.
00:24:22Johnny!
00:24:28Yes!
00:24:33Yes!
00:24:35Yes!
00:24:42Oh my Lord.
00:24:44I was calling for the last time
00:24:55We'd be here before
00:24:59If the pictures in the snow
00:25:04I could tell he runs
00:25:09We've confirmed that Jonathan Sinclair Dennis
00:25:15Maren Sinclair Sheffield
00:25:16And Gatwet Patel
00:25:18Perished in the recent house fire
00:25:20Near Martha's Vineyard
00:25:21The home of Harris Sinclair
00:25:23And the late Mrs. Tipper Taff Sinclair
00:25:25Burned to the ground
00:25:26Before the fire department arrived
00:25:28Cadence
00:25:29I'm fine mom, relax
00:25:32Why didn't you call?
00:25:34That night fucked me up as well, alright
00:25:35That's why I can't fucking talk about it
00:25:38Ow, don't complain
00:25:41When I'm trying to make you pretty
00:25:42She's already pretty
00:25:44Is this Johnny's phone?
00:25:53Mom, why do you have my phone?
00:25:54Mom, just leave it alone, mom
00:25:55Please just give it back
00:25:56Yeah, my parents took my phone
00:26:00The screens make my migraines worse
00:26:02Nothing that I find out
00:26:05Will change the way I feel about you, Gat
00:26:07Katie, tell me a ghost story
00:26:19You're fresh out
00:26:21Ask Mirren
00:26:21Hilarious
00:26:24Mom!
00:26:40Mom!
00:26:41Mom!
00:26:41Haydnce?
00:27:11Oh, my God.
00:27:41Don't open it until your birthday next week, okay?
00:28:06Katie, I wore these beads close to my heart all summer.
00:28:09I love you from God.
00:28:12Hey, holdin' up.
00:28:29I feel like my heart is bleeding through my shirt all the time.
00:28:37Well, that is normal.
00:28:40Sadness is always, uh, seeping.
00:28:44And your migraines?
00:28:52Um, I...
00:28:55I think I was taking too many pills.
00:28:59It's been hard not to take them.
00:29:02I think I might need some help not taking them anymore.
00:29:09Thank you for telling me.
00:29:11And I'm gonna call the doctor.
00:29:14And your dad.
00:29:16And we are gonna get you all the help you need in Vermont.
00:29:20Whatever happened to all ailments can be cured
00:29:24by salt air and outdoor exercise?
00:29:27Turns out that law doesn't apply to losing the great loves of your life.
00:29:33Trust me, I-I checked the rule book over and over.
00:29:39You're not talking about dad, are you?
00:29:44No.
00:29:47There was someone else.
00:29:51Uh...
00:29:53For a long time.
00:29:56And I still blamed your father for leaving.
00:30:04Because I wouldn't have.
00:30:08It is not what Sinclair's do.
00:30:14I-I hope that you don't hate me
00:30:20for letting you blame him, too.
00:30:23I-I think I was afraid that if you had the option,
00:30:28you wouldn't choose this.
00:30:30Um...
00:30:33Choose, uh...
00:30:35Me.
00:30:39You should know that you do have a choice.
00:30:42I know.
00:30:44Being a Sinclair is not easy.
00:30:46But I would imagine not being a Sinclair is much, much harder.
00:30:53But the choice is yours to make.
00:31:08Lie with me
00:31:10And say you love me, too
00:31:14Even when I wake up
00:31:16I can feel the last touch
00:31:18I just wanna feel it all again
00:31:21How they feel like memories to me
00:31:28You say it's real
00:31:33Cause I don't wanna leave
00:31:35I don't wanna leave
00:31:38I don't wanna wake up
00:31:40I just want the last touch
00:31:41And I wanna feel it all again
00:31:52Hi.
00:31:53Yo.
00:31:54Where have you been?
00:31:55Well...
00:31:56A tennis championship
00:32:00Actually, I won
00:32:01Yeah, and then, uh, celebrated on the party boat
00:32:04And then, um, that led to an orgy, which I also won
00:32:11And yeah, that's where I've been
00:32:13Hey, I mean it
00:32:15Where were you?
00:32:17Before you showed up here just now
00:32:19Um, sleeping
00:32:23Kind of
00:32:25It's like a, a soft nothing in a way
00:32:29And then, uh, pull
00:32:32And then I'm here
00:32:34I thought I'd never see you again
00:32:36You thought we might be figments of your fucked up, traumatized, weird imagination?
00:32:42Why would you imagine dickhead version of me?
00:32:45Who wouldn't say goodbye?
00:32:46Right
00:32:47Because you've never been a dick
00:32:52No
00:32:57Look, um
00:33:00I'm sorry
00:33:01About this summer
00:33:03I just wanted your memories back
00:33:06I just feel better and I fought so hard
00:33:09I didn't want you to remember
00:33:10Because I thought that when you did
00:33:12I might go somewhere that isn't such a soft nothing
00:33:17You can't believe in hell
00:33:19I mean, that's just like a made-up threat
00:33:21There's gotta be
00:33:23Some sort of punishment
00:33:24For having everything that I had
00:33:25And doing nothing good with it
00:33:30Sorry I lied
00:33:31I just...
00:33:33I don't want to burn again
00:33:34I don't want to burn again
00:33:38Shawnee
00:33:40If hell is real
00:33:43I'm fucked too
00:33:49You are gonna do a million good things with your life, Katie
00:33:53You feel so bad about that night
00:33:55That you're gonna spend the rest of your life doing amazing things
00:33:57So amazing that I'll have to build a new tear in heaven for you
00:34:01Any heaven waiting for me
00:34:05Would have you in it
00:34:08The infinite
00:34:10How rare
00:34:12And beautiful
00:34:14How rare
00:34:16And beautiful
00:34:20It is
00:34:22To even exist
00:34:25And I couldn't help but ask
00:34:28You to say it all again
00:34:31That the universe was made
00:34:34Just to be seen by my eye
00:34:38I'll give anything to hear
00:34:42He's slipping
00:34:44The legendary Harrison Claire
00:34:47Wore two mesmatching shoes to dinner tonight
00:34:51I hate it when things are funny and sad at the same time
00:34:55I know but like you don't have to rub it in like
00:34:58That's offensive
00:34:59It's rude
00:35:01128
00:35:02128
00:35:04Okay, you didn't have to underline last that many times
00:35:07But you lost
00:35:09You wanna play?
00:35:11Maybe later
00:35:14Hey
00:35:16You guys okay?
00:35:21It's too quiet here now
00:35:25Yeah
00:35:28I'm over Scrabble
00:35:29I wanna swim
00:35:30Same
00:35:32Race ya
00:35:33No fair
00:35:34I'm winning
00:35:35Hi Katie
00:35:36You've got a head start
00:35:37I'm winning
00:35:49Wish I'd been a little kinder to them
00:35:54The littles
00:35:56They always wanted me to teach them how to braid their hair
00:36:01Make friendship bracelets
00:36:09God, I never even talked to them unless I had to
00:36:13Maren
00:36:16Let me be the one to regret
00:36:18You should be light as air
00:36:26You should be a fucking sunbeam
00:36:30Turns out I suck at being a ghost
00:36:35I wanted to be excellent at it
00:36:37I wanted to be excellent at everything
00:36:39I wanted to be excellent at everything
00:36:40At my art
00:36:42Sex, grades
00:36:45At being best Sinclair's daughter
00:36:50Maybe that's where it all went from
00:36:52Between us
00:36:53You know, maybe if we just let each other be messy
00:36:55Sometimes we could have actually seen each other, you know
00:36:58I don't think anyone ever really saw me
00:37:17No, no one ever will
00:37:19I mean
00:37:21No, no one ever will
00:37:22I mean
00:37:24No
00:37:25Look at me
00:37:27While you're sewing, Varian
00:37:30And I'll see you
00:37:33For the rest of my life
00:37:36I'm so tired Katie
00:37:38I'm so tired Katie
00:37:48I'm so tired
00:38:00Katie
00:38:05You'll come
00:38:08Thank you for the gift, but I don't want these
00:38:30You should give them to someone who actually wants them
00:38:35Nonsense
00:38:37Who else?
00:38:39You're the first Sinclair granddaughter
00:38:43I don't want to be that
00:38:45The heir
00:38:47All right then
00:38:49Who will you be?
00:38:57Well, perhaps you could be, um
00:39:00An entitled child
00:39:02With a crush
00:39:04Who got mad at her family
00:39:06And committed arson
00:39:08Animal cruelty
00:39:10And involuntary manslaughter
00:39:12Now you do love a story
00:39:15You get that from Tip, of course
00:39:19What a fondness for fairytale endings
00:39:22But I too know of heroes and villains, plot twists and tropes
00:39:27But most importantly
00:39:28But most importantly, I know how to sell a story
00:39:33Certainly to your aunts
00:39:35And your mother
00:39:37Or the poor littles
00:39:39Who've lost Johnny and Mirren
00:39:41Yes, it was an errand spark
00:39:42Yes, it was an errand spark
00:39:44It was an ignorant worker
00:39:46Who had properly stored the fuel
00:39:50It was a cruel turn of the wind
00:39:53And you nearly died
00:39:55Risking yourself
00:39:57An attempt to save the others
00:39:59Like any good Sinclair would
00:40:02Now me
00:40:04I would tell that story
00:40:06When the reporter comes on Saturday
00:40:10You keep that in mind
00:40:12A reporter?
00:40:14On Beachwood?
00:40:16Another Time Magazine cover
00:40:18I'd like to put an end to the nattering about a family curse
00:40:22My last significant profile
00:40:25I've decided to retire from public life
00:40:29In my prime
00:40:32So
00:40:34It is time
00:40:38That I pass the baton
00:40:40To a worthy new face of the family
00:40:42You won't wear those
00:41:02It's early
00:41:04It's one year ago today
00:41:07I know
00:41:09A year
00:41:12The Sounds Edge Gallery
00:41:15Agreed to display Mirren's art
00:41:18Oh, I should've loved that
00:41:21They were very eager
00:41:24I just
00:41:27I hope when people look at it
00:41:30They see her
00:41:35I want to make sure that
00:41:37She's seen as more than just a tragedy
00:41:42That's a really nice thing that you did for her
00:41:43Bill
00:41:44That's a really nice thing that you did for her
00:41:45Bill
00:41:46Bill
00:41:47It's too late to do things for her
00:41:48Bill
00:41:49It's too late to do things for her
00:41:52So
00:41:53Mm
00:41:54Mm
00:41:55I thought I needed exactly what my life was to do for her
00:41:58That's a really nice thing that you did for her
00:42:00Bill
00:42:01It's too late to do things for her
00:42:02So
00:42:03I thought I needed exactly what mom had
00:42:04I wanted the husband from the good family
00:42:05I wanted the husband from the good family
00:42:06Beautiful home, three daughters
00:42:07And I would daydream about what I would name them and how I would dress them and how I would raise them to be
00:42:09That's a really nice thing that you did for her
00:42:10That's a really nice thing that you did for her
00:42:12Bill
00:42:13It's too late to do things for her
00:42:14So
00:42:15Mm
00:42:16I thought I needed exactly what mom had
00:42:18I wanted the husband from the good family
00:42:20Beautiful home, three daughters
00:42:21And I would daydream about what I would name them and how I would dress them and how I would raise them to be just so perfect
00:42:37And then I think I was just so busy adjusting them that I forgot to just love them and love them
00:42:50Meera knew that you loved her
00:43:01She did
00:43:07Sometimes I think losing them was her punishment
00:43:11Like that one tiny ember was sent from God
00:43:15Or the universe or Beechwood Island
00:43:20Punishment for what?
00:43:24For what we did
00:43:26In summer 16
00:43:30The summer
00:43:32The summer I was 16
00:43:36Then I think if it was our punishment
00:43:39A penny wouldn't have been spared
00:43:42Right?
00:43:44Yeah
00:43:49Yeah
00:43:51Yeah
00:43:52What are we doing next?
00:44:12Oh come on.
00:44:14I don't know.
00:44:15I'm serious.
00:44:16Come on.
00:44:17Come on.
00:44:22Are you real?
00:44:29I think so.
00:44:31Okay, yes.
00:44:33I'm Kat.
00:44:34I've been lost in the cloud, looking for a way out.
00:44:42Just trying to escape the noise.
00:44:46Tak, you're it.
00:44:49If you were so near you back then, I trusted you.
00:44:55But now it would make a different choice.
00:45:02It looks like we forgot who the hell we are.
00:45:08If I had my chance again
00:45:12Have to leave you in the sky
00:45:15I wanna see it make you hurt
00:45:19In the same way I know it does
00:45:22If I had my chance again
00:45:26There'd be no worse
00:45:29I knew you'd chase me
00:45:35Always
00:45:35Are you real?
00:45:39I don't know
00:45:40I really don't know
00:45:43Lovely
00:45:51American royalty
00:45:53Truly
00:45:54It's nice of Brody to join us today, Bess
00:45:56Loss really showed us how strong our marriage truly is
00:46:01Uh-huh
00:46:01Do you mind standing in birth order?
00:46:04It's a condition of Dad bailing him out financially
00:46:07A united, stable front
00:46:10In the wake of it all
00:46:12So you're trapped
00:46:14Mm-hmm
00:46:15Oh my God, some things never change
00:46:18Oh, some things do, though
00:46:20Ed!
00:46:24Oh, there he is
00:46:28Ed, come on, we should get you in the photo, too
00:46:38Uh, no, I'm all right, Harris
00:46:40Prefer to avoid the scrutiny
00:46:41Uh, are we expecting Cadence?
00:46:45She'll, uh, she'll be around
00:46:46Thank you
00:46:47Should we go get her?
00:46:51No
00:46:51It's our choice
00:46:53I wanted to believe we were helping you
00:46:59Keeping the secret
00:47:01I know now it was selfish
00:47:03I just wanted one more summer
00:47:08I didn't want to make you sicker
00:47:12But I couldn't stop wanting you
00:47:15Even when everything else about me felt like it was fading
00:47:21I still loved you as much as ever
00:47:23Well, there's something you don't know
00:47:27That might make you love me less
00:47:31Right before midnight
00:47:37I looked out
00:47:39And saw you at the boat
00:47:40I should have waited, but
00:47:45It took too long
00:47:46I was downstairs
00:47:48I could have gotten out
00:47:51While the clock was still chiming
00:47:54But
00:47:56I was looking at the family photo
00:48:00The black pearls
00:48:02The ones the moms were so obsessed with
00:48:05Our whole lives
00:48:06They obsessed over them
00:48:07Who got to wear them
00:48:09Christmas
00:48:09At Easter
00:48:10Who was the best?
00:48:13Who was the most loved?
00:48:15And I wanted them
00:48:17I can't even explain why
00:48:21That's why you were inside, Gad
00:48:24That's why you died
00:48:27It was all my fault
00:48:43It's our fault
00:48:44No
00:48:45No, I'm the one who got impatient
00:48:46And didn't follow the plan
00:48:48I was as involved as you, Katie
00:48:50Truth is
00:48:52I burnt that place down
00:48:54To the ground a million times
00:48:55In my mind already
00:48:56I don't blame you
00:49:00Iris wants me to keep up
00:49:04The big, single-air lie
00:49:06Like
00:49:07I'm a hero
00:49:10I don't want to be that kind of liar
00:49:12But what about
00:49:14The moms
00:49:17And the littles
00:49:19Your mom
00:49:22Ed
00:49:25I mean
00:49:27They all think it was an accident
00:49:29How will they move on
00:49:33If they know we meant it?
00:49:34Maybe it's okay
00:49:35To let them pretend then
00:49:37Look
00:49:38You know the truth now
00:49:40So you get to decide the rest of your story
00:49:42That's it
00:49:43That's what matters
00:49:43Besides
00:49:50Some
00:49:51Fairy tales aren't so bad
00:49:53I've been telling myself one all summer
00:49:57You mean the one
00:50:02Where you and I become
00:50:05King and queen of Beechwood Island
00:50:09No
00:50:12Where you and I pack up
00:50:18And leave the mythical land
00:50:19Where it's always summer
00:50:20Out in the real world
00:50:23It gets cold
00:50:26The radiator in our shitty college apartment
00:50:30Makes so much noise all night
00:50:32You write for the lit magazine
00:50:34I get a tattoo you pretend to hate
00:50:37My mom comes to visit us
00:50:41And teaches us how to make poha
00:50:42We fight over who forgot to get rid of the dryer lint
00:50:51One semester we have to do long distance
00:50:58And
00:50:58We write each other letters
00:51:02Real ones in the mail
00:51:04When we're back in our shitty apartment
00:51:12They start to save up to buy you a ring
00:51:16Even though you tell me you don't need one
00:51:19I need one
00:51:20Happily ever after
00:51:28In a better world
00:51:32...in a better world.
00:51:45Kat!
00:52:02Come on, one last time.
00:52:32Come on, one last time.
00:53:02Come on, one last time.
00:53:32Well, there she is.
00:53:34Kaden's the first.
00:53:35Ed.
00:53:37Ed.
00:54:00I'm so glad you're here.
00:54:12Congratulations.
00:54:14I'm so glad you're here.
00:54:26Kaden's.
00:54:27I would like to introduce you to this young lady.
00:54:36She's gonna ask you a few questions.
00:54:38What kind of questions?
00:54:41Oh.
00:54:42Well, it's a piece about your grandfather as the patriarch, but really about your family's
00:54:49strength of character.
00:54:51I don't think I can help you with that.
00:55:01Kaden's.
00:55:03Kaden's.
00:55:04I'm just really not into fairy tales anymore.
00:55:17Kaden's.
00:55:18Kaden's.
00:55:19Kaden's.
00:55:20Kaden's.
00:55:21Kaden's.
00:55:22Kaden's.
00:55:23Kaden's.
00:55:24Kaden's.
00:55:25Kaden's.
00:55:26Kaden's.
00:55:27Kaden's.
00:55:28Kaden's.
00:55:29Kaden's.
00:55:30Kaden's.
00:55:31Kaden's.
00:55:32My name is Cadence Eastman.
00:55:50I once was sugar and effort, reckless abandon, ambition and strong coffee.
00:55:57But I was also weakness and complicity.
00:56:02I know the loss of great loves now, and I know the work of rebuilding from ashes, even
00:56:16in the shadow cast by what used to stand tall.
00:56:23I was once a Sinclair, and I suppose I will always be a liar.
00:56:29Because liars, you should know, are forever.
00:56:36Gonna breathe on my own, ride into the burning silence.
00:56:48Carrie?
00:56:49Coming!
00:56:50I'm just gonna make sure everything's locked up.
00:56:55I'll meet you at the dock.
00:56:56Okay.
00:56:57Come on, Wolf.
00:56:58You got that?
00:56:59Oh.
00:57:00Oh.
00:57:01I thought you'd left.
00:57:02I thought you'd left.
00:57:03I don't think I can.
00:57:04I thought you'd left.
00:57:05I don't think I can.
00:57:11Oh.
00:57:12I thought you'd left.
00:57:13I don't think I can.
00:57:18Oh.
00:57:19I thought you'd left.
00:57:29I don't think I can.
