SEVEN DAYS
Transcript
00:00:02Hmm...
00:00:03Becca, it's midnight.
00:00:04And you're still writing, I know.
00:00:06Listen, I sold your spec script to a producer.
00:00:09He wants changes.
00:00:10What kind of changes?
00:00:12Happy ending. He says tragedy doesn't sell.
00:00:15It's a murder mystery.
00:00:17Someone has to die.
00:00:18Then kill the villain, not the heroine.
00:00:21Call me tomorrow.
00:00:26Everyone's an editor.
00:00:31Done. Silent billionaire kills his fiancee.
00:00:35No one suspects him.
00:00:37Perfect.
00:00:40I wish I could live inside your world.
00:00:43Just one week.
00:00:45Just to see if I got it right.
00:00:56What the...
00:01:14No. No.
00:01:16No way.
00:01:17This is...
00:01:18This is my script.
00:01:20The engagement.
00:01:22The penthouse.
00:01:23The silent fiance.
00:01:25I wrote all of this.
00:01:36Must have been a nightmare.
00:01:37There.
00:01:46I have seven days.
00:01:48And I'm the only one who knows how the ends.
00:01:58In my script, he's a killer.
00:02:00But right now, he just looks like a guy who's really boring with his coffee.
00:02:05So, what's on your schedule today?
00:02:15Where?
00:02:19Just curious.
00:02:20I might drop by later.
00:02:24He doesn't believe me.
00:02:26He never does.
00:02:27But I'm going anyway.
00:02:36In the script, the victim is found at 3 o'clock.
00:02:40I have 13 minutes.
00:02:44It's...
00:02:47Yeah, I smell gas.
00:02:49Strong.
00:02:50Like, really strong.
00:02:51You should send someone.
00:02:54I already called 911.
00:02:55You should wait outside.
00:02:56Now.
00:02:57Who are you?
00:02:58Someone who doesn't want to die in a parking lot.
00:03:01Move.
00:03:08One down.
00:03:09Six to go.
00:03:20I don't know what you're...
00:03:34How?
00:03:36I got lucky.
00:03:39He spoke.
00:03:41He spoke to me.
00:03:42And I lied to his face.
00:03:46Seven days.
00:03:47One down.
00:03:49Five to go.
00:03:55Did you hear?
00:03:56That assistant almost died yesterday.
00:03:57And guess who called 911?
00:03:59Sloan Harper.
00:04:00The same Sloan Harper who's engaged to Sebastian Sterling?
00:04:02The guy who never talks?
00:04:04The one and only.
00:04:05Some people are saying she knew it was going to happen.
00:04:07Like, before it happened.
00:04:08That's creepy.
00:04:09What's creepier is that her fiancé's family had some old feud with the Vances,
00:04:12like 15 years ago.
00:04:13Something about a kidnapping.
00:04:14Kidnapping?
00:04:15I didn't write that.
00:04:16What are they talking about?
00:04:21I didn't write this.
00:04:23Someone else did.
00:04:25Someone's been in my computer.
00:04:33Someone else did.
00:04:34Sebastian, what happened to your mother?
00:04:39I'm sorry.
00:04:42What are you?
00:04:44I'm not.
00:04:46I can't explain.
00:04:47Not yet.
00:04:50He knows I'm going to try to stop it.
00:04:54But he doesn't know how.
00:04:57I have to go.
00:05:02Who is this?
00:05:06What do you want?
00:05:07Someone else knows the future, and they're playing a game with me.
00:05:10Tomorrow, I stop the second murder.
00:05:12Then I find whoever's been in my computer.
00:05:28If it's nothing, why hide it?
00:05:31My past?
00:05:32I grew up in Brooklyn.
00:05:34My grandmother raised me. There's nothing to know.
00:05:39Isabella Vance, the victim.
00:05:41Or maybe, not just a victim.
00:05:44That tattoo, I wrote it into my script for a villain.
00:05:47But I didn't write it for Isabella. Someone changed that too.
00:05:53You didn't want me to come, but you didn't stop me.
00:05:57And you're not?
00:06:02Time to check the brakes.
00:06:13Yes, I need a tow at Vance State.
00:06:14Black sedan, license Vance 1, flat tire.
00:06:16The owner doesn't know yet, just send someone.
00:06:20I'm fine, I'm just...
00:06:22car sick.
00:06:27We are barely escaping a car accident today.
00:06:30His vehicle reportedly suffered a mechanical failure,
00:06:31but a tow truck's early arrival may have prevented a tragedy.
00:06:33Police are investigating possible tampering.
00:06:36I couldn't let him die.
00:06:40Because if he died, they would blame you.
00:06:55You don't have to thank me.
00:06:57I... no.
00:06:59Who cut the brake line?
00:07:01Who tampered with my script?
00:07:03That tattoo?
00:07:04Isabella Vance?
00:07:05Who is she really?
00:07:17You asked me to dig into the Vance Sterling history.
00:07:19I found something.
00:07:2115 years ago, Vance Industries and Sterling Group signed a settlement agreement.
00:07:24The details are sealed, but there's a clause that's been partially redacted.
00:07:27It says, in the event of a fault by Sterling,
00:07:29the Vance family reserves the right to seek personal seems accountability from Sebastian Sterling.
00:07:32Personal accountability?
00:07:33What is that?
00:07:34It could be anything.
00:07:34Financial, legal, or criminal.
00:07:37So if someone wanted to destroy Sebastian,
00:07:39they could engineer a default and then claim he's accountable?
00:07:42That's the theory.
00:07:43Who benefits?
00:07:45Isabella's mother, Elaine Bounce, she's a lawyer.
00:07:48She would have known how to write this clause.
00:07:50She's been Vance's attorney for 20 years.
00:07:57It's them.
00:07:58It's always been them.
00:08:02Sloan Harper, you've been someone who's been reading your script.
00:08:05Who is this?
00:08:05The real one.
00:08:06The one before all the changes.
00:08:08What do you want?
00:08:08To warn you, or threaten you.
00:08:10Whichever you prefer.
00:08:11Get to the point.
00:08:12You think you're saving people,
00:08:13but every time you intervene, the story changes.
00:08:15And the next death becomes harder to prevent.
00:08:18What are you saying?
00:08:19I'm saying, you won't save them all.
00:08:21And in the end, you'll be the one who pays.
00:08:25What was that?
00:08:26Someone who knows too much.
00:08:31You're... scared?
00:08:32Yes.
00:08:33Of... what?
00:08:39Of losing you.
00:08:41I didn't plan this.
00:08:43I didn't write this.
00:08:44But here we are.
00:08:52It's done.
00:08:53The breaks were cut.
00:08:55I know.
00:08:55I watched.
00:08:56But she called a tow truck.
00:08:57He's alive.
00:08:58I'm aware.
00:08:59She's proving to be resourceful.
00:09:00What's the next move?
00:09:02The engagement party.
00:09:03We don't touch her until then.
00:09:05Let her think she's winning.
00:09:06The back.
00:09:07When she falls, he falls with her.
00:09:09That's the beauty of love that makes you vulnerable.
00:09:17I traced Elaine Vance's financial records for the past 15 years.
00:09:20Some accounts in the caveman's.
00:09:21Not in her name, but the money flows to her.
00:09:22Can you connect her to the kidnapping?
00:09:23Not directly, but she was Sterling's personal attorney.
00:09:25She resigned one week before the kidnapping.
00:09:26Then she joined Vance Group.
00:09:28The timing is too perfect.
00:09:30She knew it was gonna happen.
00:09:31Maybe...
00:09:32She planned it.
00:09:33But why?
00:09:34What's the motive?
00:09:34This personal escouncibility clause.
00:09:36If Sterling Group defaults, the Vance's can go after Sebastian.
00:09:39After the kidnapping, Sterling's wife disappears.
00:09:40The company falls into chaos and the Vance's sign this agreement.
00:09:42So Elaine engineered the kidnapping to control Sterling?
00:09:45Not just control.
00:09:46Extortion.
00:09:46Every step.
00:09:47The breaks.
00:09:47The murders.
00:09:48The framing.
00:09:48It was all her plan.
00:09:49There's a problem.
00:09:50The murder details in the script.
00:09:51Elaine couldn't have written those.
00:09:52Some of them, only I knew.
00:09:53You think she has an accomplice?
00:09:54Someone hacked me.
00:09:55He's been copying my files.
00:09:55That person is the real prophet.
00:09:57Elaine is just the executor.
00:10:00What price?
00:10:02They found my grandma.
00:10:07No.
00:10:08If they see bodyguards, they'll move fast.
00:10:10I go see her.
00:10:11Warn her.
00:10:11But I can't tell her the truth.
00:10:12Her heart can't take it.
00:10:16You're too recognizable.
00:10:18That face gets noticed everywhere.
00:10:21You're joking at a time like this?
00:10:23He's the man the world calls cold.
00:10:25But what he remembers is how to make me smile.
00:10:32Ronan!
00:10:33What's the sudden visit?
00:10:34Missed you, Grandma.
00:10:36That car.
00:10:37Whose is it?
00:10:38My fiance's.
00:10:39Fiance?
00:10:40You never mentioned him.
00:10:41Things are complicated.
00:10:43Grandma, have any strangers come by recently?
00:10:45No.
00:10:46Just the mailman and old Tom next door borrowing sugar.
00:10:49If anyone knocks, no matter who, don't open the door.
00:10:51Call me.
00:10:52You're in trouble, aren't you?
00:10:55But I can handle it.
00:10:56I promise.
00:10:58You've always been stubborn as a mule.
00:11:00Go handle your trouble.
00:11:02I'm not so old that I need a babysitter.
00:11:16They don't want me dead.
00:11:18They want me gone.
00:11:20No body.
00:11:20No evidence.
00:11:21No case.
00:11:26Or now.
00:11:29I won't let anyone hurt you.
00:11:32He's learning to speak for me.
00:11:34And I might get him killed just by existing.
00:11:42Someone is carefully designing a trap.
00:11:44Make Sebastian the killer make me vanish.
00:11:49Marcus, I need you to find something.
00:11:51The detective who handled the Sterling kidnapping case, is he still alive?
00:11:54One second.
00:11:55Got it.
00:11:55Detective James O'Brien, retired, lives on Long Island.
00:11:58Send me the address.
00:11:59Actually, I have two addresses here.
00:12:01One in Long Island.
00:12:02One in Florida.
00:12:02Not sure which is current.
00:12:03You have two?
00:12:04Old records.
00:12:05I'll send both.
00:12:06And cross-reference with any other connections to the Sterling case.
00:12:09Will do.
00:12:11Something doesn't feel right.
00:12:19How did you...
00:12:20How do you even know that?
00:12:27Yes.
00:12:28I want to help you find her.
00:12:32Mr. Sterling.
00:12:33I didn't think you'd ever come back to see me.
00:12:37Come in.
00:12:39I worked that case for six months.
00:12:41Then it got shut down.
00:12:44National security, they said, told me to keep my mouth shut.
00:12:47Who shut it down?
00:12:50Your father.
00:12:54He said your mother ran off with another man.
00:12:56Didn't want the scandal.
00:12:57But you didn't believe that.
00:12:58I found evidence.
00:12:59Witnesses who saw two men force her into a van.
00:13:01Not a lover.
00:13:01A kidnapper.
00:13:02I kept everything.
00:13:02Photos, statements, witness names.
00:13:04You can be the expert.
00:13:04You can learn to transfer me to be careful.
00:13:05Whoever shut down a kidnapping investigation won't let you reopen at your time easily.
00:13:08Thank you, detective.
00:13:10Son.
00:13:12Your mother called you before she was taken.
00:13:15Do you remember what she said?
00:13:19She said, don't look for me.
00:13:22Live.
00:13:26She told me to live.
00:13:30She told you to live, not to be silent.
00:13:34I didn't know how not to be silent.
00:13:38You've already started talking to me, smiling at me, getting angry at me.
00:13:44You're not a silent man.
00:13:45You just hadn't found anyone worth talking to.
00:13:49You're worth it.
00:13:51He says I'm worth it.
00:13:53Not I love you, but heavier.
00:13:56Then keep going.
00:13:57No matter what happens.
00:13:59No matter what those anonymous texts say.
00:14:00Keep talking to me.
00:14:01I promise I'll stay.
00:14:06There.
00:14:07The Vances were involved.
00:14:12Switzerland.
00:14:13Serenity.
00:14:14She's alive.
00:14:17She's coming back.
00:14:18I promise.
00:14:25I found it.
00:14:26Serenity Clinic.
00:14:27In the Alps.
00:14:29Private institution.
00:14:30No public records.
00:14:31They take patients who need to disappear.
00:14:33Can you find out if Katherine Sterling is still there?
00:14:35Not directly.
00:14:36But I found a retired nurse.
00:14:38She agreed to talk.
00:14:40Who is this?
00:14:41Why are you asking about Serenity?
00:14:43My name is Sloane Harper.
00:14:44I'm looking for a woman.
00:14:45American.
00:14:46Sent there 15 years ago.
00:14:48She would have used a fake name.
00:14:49I don't know what you're talking about.
00:14:51She's been missing for 15 years.
00:14:53Her son thought she was dead.
00:14:55He hasn't spoken a full sentence since.
00:14:57He needs to find her.
00:14:59Her fake name was Margaret Smith.
00:15:01She was transferred three years ago.
00:15:02I don't know where.
00:15:03Transferred by whom?
00:15:04A young woman.
00:15:05Dark hair.
00:15:0620.
00:15:07She had legal papers.
00:15:08Said she was Mrs. Sterling's daughter.
00:15:10That woman's name is Isabella Vance.
00:15:13She's not a daughter.
00:15:14She's part of the family that kidnapped her.
00:15:16I didn't know.
00:15:17The papers looked official.
00:15:19Can you find the transfer records from three years ago?
00:15:22I can try.
00:15:22But you have to promise not to use my name.
00:15:24I promise.
00:15:29Yes.
00:15:29And she's been using that information to control you.
00:15:36Sloan.
00:15:37Unexpected.
00:15:39Where's your mother, Elaine?
00:15:40Mother?
00:15:41At home.
00:15:42Why do you need her?
00:15:43Stop pretending.
00:15:44I know you were involved in the kidnapping.
00:15:47You know where Katherine Sterling is.
00:15:50You transferred her from that clinic three years ago.
00:15:54What evidence do you have?
00:15:56A nurse in Switzerland is willing to testify.
00:16:00You used fake documents.
00:16:01That's a federal crime.
00:16:04You think you've won?
00:16:06You think finding her will save everyone?
00:16:08I'm the only one who knows where Katherine Sterling is.
00:16:12If something happens to me, she dies too.
00:16:16Did your script include that?
00:16:19What do you want?
00:16:24Simple.
00:16:25Break the engagement.
00:16:27Leave Sebastian.
00:16:28Drop all charges against my mother.
00:16:30Then I'll tell you where she is.
00:16:32Why should I trust you?
00:16:34You don't have to trust me.
00:16:36You just have to know.
00:16:38I want to live more than you want to find her.
00:16:41This was taken last month.
00:16:43She's alive.
00:16:45But if you don't do what I say,
00:16:48next time, there won't be a photo.
00:16:51Break the engagement.
00:16:53Leave you.
00:16:55Drop the charges.
00:16:57Don't.
00:16:58What?
00:16:59Don't agree.
00:17:02But your mother-
00:17:03My mother would want me to be happy.
00:17:10Not threatened.
00:17:13We find her together.
00:17:17What if they hurt her?
00:17:18They already hurt her.
00:17:2015 years.
00:17:25They won't hurt us.
00:17:29You.
00:17:30Are my home.
00:17:35She refused.
00:17:37Then we move to plan B.
00:17:40The night of the party,
00:17:42Sloan Harrison disappears.
00:17:44Permanently.
00:17:45And Sebastian Sterling goes to prison
00:17:47for murdering his fiancee.
00:17:49Are you sure?
00:17:5015 years.
00:17:52It ends now.
00:17:56Disappear or die.
00:17:57There's no third option.
00:18:03The party will have 200 guests.
00:18:06It's going to be a circus.
00:18:09Security is handled by the Vanders.
00:18:11That means they can manufacture chaos at any moment.
00:18:15In the script, Isabella is poisoned at the party.
00:18:18But the killer isn't Sebastian.
00:18:19It's Elaine.
00:18:20She wants to kill her own daughter and frame Sebastian.
00:18:22Why kill her own daughter?
00:18:23Because Isabella knows too much.
00:18:26She's a liability.
00:18:27Elaine wants control of Sterling Group,
00:18:29not her daughter's life.
00:18:31You make Elaine expose herself.
00:18:35Marcus, three things.
00:18:36One, install hidden cameras in the party venue.
00:18:38Two, find Elaine's communication records with the Swiss clinic.
00:18:40Three, prepare a fake police report
00:18:42say there's a terrorist threat for the night.
00:18:43Get law enforcement on site.
00:18:45The third one needs Sebastian's authorization.
00:19:20Um...

00:19:47marcus check what cases judge kendrick presided over especially anything related to sterling group
00:19:53a retired judge who became elaine's personal lawyer receiving money from a swiss clinic
00:20:00bribery hush money
00:20:04she found the swiss account
00:20:07it doesn't matter the account is empty the evidence is destroyed but she's still digging
00:20:14she found o'brien o'brien is a senile old man his files have no legal standing
00:20:20edmund i don't like this that woman she's not ordinary she can see the future
00:20:26no one can see the future she's lucky it's not luck she wrote a script all the murder details
00:20:31were correct that's impossible then we make sure she can't write anymore party night stick to the
00:20:36plan remember sloan harrapin must disappear sebastian must be convicted sterling group must
00:20:42fall to us 15 years finally over
00:20:49tell serenity to dispose of the old woman after the party
00:20:58mrs sterling was transferred to austria three years ago
00:21:01a facility called alpine sectuary but i can't find the exact address
00:21:08can you find the registered owner edmund kendrick it was him all along
00:21:14thank you you've helped more than you know
00:21:17kendrick was my father's friend
00:21:21you knew him
00:21:23when i was young he came to the house often
00:21:26my mother didn't like him she said he was like a snake
00:21:31your mother was right he's the snake hiding in the shadows for 15 years
00:21:36kendrick was a judge for 20 years he handled big cases business disputes family trusts inheritance
00:21:43he has deep ties to the sterling family when sebastian's grandfather died the executor of the
00:21:49will was edmund kendrick so he knew all the sterling family's financial secrets
00:21:54not just knew he could control them the estate distribution the trusts the stock transfers all went through him
00:22:05controlling then devouring having your mother kidnapped was meant to break your father
00:22:08after your father died he thought he could control you through elaine but you grew up
00:22:12you have your own judgment so now he wants to destroy you
00:22:14the party is his final move make sebastian disapealer with sterling and chaos kendrick steps in as the old family
00:22:19friend to take over
00:22:19then we make him walk into his own trap

00:29:59she says she won't talk unless you're there
00:30:11you won

00:30:15there's someone behind him
00:30:18who?
00:30:20you think a retired judge could access swiss clinics?
00:30:24bribe detectives control sterling group for 15 years?
00:30:27it's just a pawn
00:30:30who's the player?
00:30:32i don't know the name
00:30:34only the codon
00:30:36the bishop
00:30:37the bishop
00:30:38in chess the bishop moves diagonally
00:30:41it never attacks head on
00:30:42always from the side
00:30:44does kendrick know who the bishop is?
00:30:45he won't say
00:30:46he's more afraid of that person than of going to prison
00:30:49i'm done
00:30:50but you can keep digging
00:30:52as long as you're not afraid to die
00:30:54i'm not afraid to die
00:30:55i'm afraid of dying without finding the truth
00:30:58bishop chess
00:31:00could be a codename for someone inside the legal system?
00:31:03kendrick was a judge
00:31:04elaine was a lawyer
00:31:05their common ground is the legal system
00:31:08could the bishop be in the legal system too?

00:41:03power
00:41:03money
00:41:04your father wouldn't let me join the sterling board

00:41:08your father ruined my career
00:41:10i would have been chief justice
00:41:12but he wrote a letter to the judicial committee
00:41:14said i lacked judicial temperament
00:41:16that letter cost me the promotion
00:41:18so i spent 15 years
00:41:20piece by piece
00:41:21destroying his family
00:41:22so you locked up his daughter
00:41:24turned his son mute

00:42:18maybe
00:42:18or maybe more people would have died

00:56:15is a ghost
00:56:16no records after 1990
00:56:17a ghost
00:56:18someone who erased himself
00:56:19but i found a trail
00:56:21he moved money through a series of shell companies
00:56:22the last transaction was last week
00:56:24where
00:56:24to a bank in libenstein
00:56:25and from there

00:56:31margaret
00:56:32or someone using her name
00:56:33but margaret is in prison
00:56:34so either she has a partner outside
00:56:36or the king is not margaret
00:56:37then who
00:56:39what if edward didn't start the organization alone
00:56:41what if there was a third person
00:56:43there's no record of a third
00:56:44then we make a record
00:56:45we flush him out

00:57:12are you sure
00:57:13they have the second box was empty except for a photo
00:57:15then why are they so confident
00:57:17because they want us to make a mistake

00:57:45she's gone
00:57:47the king broke her out
00:57:49why
00:57:50because she's the only one who knows who he is

00:57:56the game has changed
00:58:09this is the safe house
00:58:11your father bought it years ago sebastian
