TVTranscript
00:00The series begins on the 4th of July in Savannah, Georgia, where the Bowdoin family hosts a gathering with friends
00:05and relatives.
00:07At the same time, a distressed woman writes a suicide note before shooting herself.
00:13Moments later, she receives a phone call and somehow returns to life.
00:18Telling the caller that she already did it and that it hurt, she is instructed to do it again.
00:23She follows the order and shoots herself a second time.
00:27Elsewhere, a prisoner named Byron French is released after receiving a full pardon.
00:32During an interview at their home, Anna and Tom Bowdoin discuss their legal work.
00:37The conversation briefly turns toward the notorious Max Cady case, but Anna avoids discussing it.
00:43Their attention is soon diverted when their daughter Natalie discovers several dead skunks floating in the family pool.
00:51Anna receives a call from Noah Toussaint, who reminds her that Byron must attend an important fundraising gala.
00:58Meanwhile, Tom speaks with his troubled son, Zach, about transferring to a new school.
01:03The conversation quickly turns hostile, with Zach accusing his father of helping powerful people while once helping send poor people
01:11to prison.
01:13Later, Tom secretly retreats to a room under renovation and prepares to use drugs before being interrupted.
01:20Anna picks up Byron, encouraging him to attend events connected to the legal project that secured his freedom.
01:27During a meeting with Noah, Anna learns disturbing news.
01:30Max Cady's former mistress left a confession claiming she murdered Max's wife and revealing details only the killer would know.
01:38The discovery results in Max being released from prison.
01:42That evening, Anna and Tom inform their children about Max's release.
01:47They warn them to be careful because renewed media attention could bring unwanted scrutiny.
01:52Soon afterward, their home alarm malfunctions again, though Tom finds nothing suspicious outside.
01:59The next morning, news reports reveal Max's freedom and revive public interest in the old case.
02:05The reports also expose Anna's relationship with Tom, who had been the prosecutor while she served as Max's defense attorney.
02:13At the same time, Zach disappears without telling anyone where he has gone.
02:17Security footage shows he left before dawn.
02:21As Anna searches for Byron, she learns he is missing as well.
02:24Natalie tries tracking down Zach and visits his former friend Danny, who reveals that Zach spends most of his time
02:31online with a girl nobody knows much about.
02:34On her way home, Natalie is confronted by Luis Pilgrim, a stranger obsessed with Max's case.
02:40After he presses her with intrusive questions, she throws coffee in his face and leaves.
02:47Preparations continue for the gala despite Byron's disappearance.
02:50Anna then learns that Max himself has called the organization and may attend the event.
02:56During the fundraiser, Max unexpectedly arrives and takes the stage.
03:01Speaking calmly, he claims the justice system failed him and encourages guests to donate to the organization.
03:07His appearance generates sympathy and significantly increases contributions.
03:13Afterward, Max spends time with Anna and Tom.
03:15He speaks about prison, his near-death experience, and his desire to make something meaningful of his life.
03:21Though unsettled, Anna and Tom leave believing the encounter is over.
03:26Later, Anna shares with Natalie how the original trial changed her life.
03:31While defending Max, she met Tom, and their relationship eventually grew into a marriage and family.
03:37That night, Zach is still missing.
03:40The family becomes alarmed when the security system activates again.
03:45Investigating the disturbance, they encounter a panther wandering near the property.
03:49As the animal disappears, Max suddenly emerges from the darkness.
03:53He claims he came only to return Anna's forgotten purse after finding their address inside.
03:59Max mentions seeing Zach outside moments before the teenager unexpectedly reappears.
04:04Zach seems disoriented and barely responsive.
04:08While Tom tries to determine whether his son has taken drugs, Max quietly speaks with Anna
04:13and hints that he remembers secrets from the past that he has never revealed.
04:19Inside the house, Anna notices blood dripping from Zach's shoe.
04:23The family quickly realizes he has suffered a serious injury.
04:27When they remove the shoe, they make a horrifying discovery.
04:30One of Zach's toes has been severed and is missing.
04:33A flashback to seven years earlier shows Max Cady survives a brutal prison attack.
04:39Several inmates corner him during a workout session and beat him nearly to death.
04:44Fighting back with a kettlebell, he kills his attackers despite suffering a severe head injury himself.
04:50After the violent struggle, he collapses unconscious.
04:54In the present, Max is arrested after the confrontation at the Bowdoin home while Zach receives treatment at the hospital
05:02for his missing toe.
05:04As Zach regains consciousness, Anna spots Max nearby being examined for injuries he sustained during his arrest.
05:11Curious and suspicious, she listens while detectives question him about his past head trauma and claims that he sees visions
05:18of his deceased wife and son.
05:20Max immediately realizes Anna is listening and requests to speak with a lawyer.
05:26Back at home, Natalie is alone when someone knocks on the door.
05:29Finding nobody outside, she returns indoors, only to be startled by her friend Callie, who has brought alcohol and marijuana.
05:38The girls begin drinking and smoking in the renovated section of the house.
05:42Meanwhile, Anna confronts Max directly.
05:45She accuses him of drugging Zach and somehow causing him to lose his toe.
05:49Max denies everything and insists he has no reason to hurt the boy.
05:53Instead, he suggests Zach's problems stem from his own choices.
05:58The conversation becomes increasingly personal as Max claims he remembers more about Anna than she would like.
06:05At the hospital, doctors question Tom about Zach's mental health and recent behavior.
06:10Tom explains that Zach has struggled since leaking private photos of an ex-girlfriend,
06:15an incident that cost him friendships and left him isolated.
06:20While exploring the renovation room, Natalie and Callie hear a phone ringing.
06:25Following the sound, they discover a strange setup resembling an altar.
06:29Nearby sits Zach's missing phone.
06:32As Natalie picks it up, she notices blood on the floor.
06:35The mystery deepens when Zach suddenly begins choking in the hospital.
06:40To everyone's horror, he vomits up the missing toe.
06:43Doctors determine that he apparently bit it off himself,
06:46though Anna refuses to believe the explanation.
06:50She remains convinced that Max somehow played a role.
06:54Zach stays overnight for observation.
06:56During a trip to a hospital restroom, he unexpectedly encounters Max.
07:00Their brief conversation leaves Zach unsettled,
07:04especially when Max speaks as if he understands exactly what the teenager is going through.
07:09Later, Tom remains by Zach's bedside.
07:12Exhausted, he secretly places a drop of an unknown substance on his tongue and soon passes out.
07:18At home, Anna questions Natalie about the disturbing items found in the renovation room.
07:23Before she can investigate further, Noah contacts her with shocking news.
07:28Byron French has been killed.
07:30Anna rushes to the scene and learns that Byron's mother, Bunny,
07:34shot him before suffering a fatal heart attack herself.
07:37The tragedy leaves everyone stunned.
07:40The problems continue when Noah informs Anna that death row inmate Ruben Ramirez wants to abandon his appeal
07:46despite being only weeks away from execution.
07:49Anna feels overwhelmed by the mounting crises surrounding her family and work.
07:55Back at the hospital, Anna and Tom try questioning Zach about what happened,
07:59but he claims he remembers nothing.
08:01They decide to increase his therapy sessions and confiscate his phone.
08:05Using his face to unlock it, Anna attempts to identify the mysterious girl he has been messaging,
08:11but receives no answers.
08:14That night, Tom discovers Anna obsessively searching through Zach's phone records.
08:18He urges her to focus on helping their son instead of hunting for someone to blame.
08:24Unknown to them, Zach possesses a second phone
08:27and secretly contacts Sophia to apologize for his past actions.
08:32Elsewhere, Max visits Ruben and persuades him not to give up.
08:36Drawing from his own experience in prison,
08:38Max convinces the condemned man that his life still has value and purpose.
08:44Natalie later catches Zach sneaking out.
08:46Their conversation reveals how disconnected both siblings feel from their parents.
08:51Zach believes Natalie has everything easier,
08:54while Natalie argues that neither of them is truly understood.
08:58Eventually, she persuades him to return home.
09:01Anna and Tom attempt to reassure each other that Max's release was justified
09:05and that they did nothing wrong years ago.
09:08Yet Anna remains haunted by the possibility that Max knows something about their past.
09:15The next morning, Anna learns that Max has become increasingly involved with the legal organization.
09:21Not only did he help convince Ruben to continue his appeal,
09:25but he is also giving interviews.
09:27During one interview, Max speaks about wanting a family
09:30and mentions that an old friend once told him
09:33it is never too late to repair what is broken.
09:36Hearing those words alarms Anna.
09:39She rushes to Zach's phone and discovers a message containing the same unusual phrase.
09:44The connection convinces her that Max is communicating with Zach somehow.
09:48When she raises the issue with Tom,
09:50he insists nobody knows the secret they have been hiding.
09:54Unnoticed by them, Natalie overhears the conversation.
09:58Elsewhere, Max tours a house he hopes to buy once he receives compensation for his years in prison.
10:04After sending the realtor outside, he sits alone in the empty home
10:08and imagines his wife and son beside him,
10:11quietly picturing the family life he believes was stolen from him.
10:15Next morning, Tom works from home when Natalie notices strangers using the family pool.
10:21Tom grabs a gun and confronts them outside.
10:24The group claims they were invited by the homeowner, mocking Tom when he objects.
10:29After a tense exchange, they eventually leave,
10:32but not before making it clear that someone may be targeting the family.
10:37Meanwhile, Anna continues her private investigation into what happened to Zach.
10:42She meets Ray Rollins, who provides her with a duplicate version of Zach's phone
10:46that allows her to monitor his messages.
10:49Ray warns her that spying on her son could destroy their relationship if he discovers it,
10:54but Anna insists she is trying to protect him.
10:57She reveals her growing belief that Max Cady is somehow connected to the mysterious online girl
11:04Zach has been communicating with.
11:06At the same time, Noah informs Anna that Max is about to receive a major settlement
11:12from the prison system that wrongfully kept him incarcerated.
11:15Although Anna is uncomfortable working with him,
11:18she agrees to travel with Max to Atlanta to negotiate the final agreement.
11:24Elsewhere, Max attracts attention wherever he goes.
11:27A woman approaches him in a park, fascinated by his notoriety.
11:31The conversation quickly becomes unsettling
11:34as Max responds with disturbing comments that leave her shaken.
11:38Back at home, Anna secretly uses the mirrored phone to impersonate Zach.
11:43When a late-night message arrives from Angel X,
11:46Anna takes over the conversation and learns where the sender is located.
11:50She tracks the girl down to a diner and discovers her real identity, Nevaeh Valentine.
11:55Convinced Nevaeh supplied Zach with drugs,
11:58Anna threatens her and forces her to cut off contact with Zach.
12:02Before leaving, Anna questions her about Max.
12:05But Nevaeh dismisses the idea that he has anything to do with her.
12:09When Anna tells Tom what she did, he worries that she is becoming obsessed.
12:14Anna argues that she cannot stop until she understands who hurt their son.
12:18Tom tries to reassure her that their family is safe, but Anna remains unconvinced.
12:25Soon after, Anna is shocked to return home and find Max casually teaching Zach how to prepare food in the
12:31kitchen.
12:32Zach appears comfortable around him, which only increases Anna's suspicions.
12:37Max explains that Zach invited him inside while a documentary crew arrives to continue filming his story.
12:44The trip to Atlanta brings Anna and Max into direct conflict with the prison representatives.
12:50The company offers Max a financial settlement, but Anna pushes for much more, demanding accountability and a formal admission of
12:58wrongdoing.
12:59Faced with the possibility of a damaging public trial, the company agrees to pay Max over $4 million.
13:06While Anna is away, Natalie attends a party where she becomes the target of humiliation.
13:12Other teenagers show her drone footage that was secretly recorded in her backyard and shared online.
13:17The incident reminds everyone of Zach's own scandal involving private photos.
13:22During the confrontation, Nevaeh unexpectedly defends Natalie and later spends time with her.
13:28As they talk, Natalie admits that she feels invisible within her own family
13:33and struggles with constant pressure to be perfect.
13:37At home, Tom notices strange signs that someone may be watching the property.
13:42He discovers the security cameras malfunctioning and finds evidence that someone has been entering the yard.
13:49Later, Tom questions Zach after reviewing security footage showing Max passing him something during a handshake.
13:56Zach insists nothing suspicious happened.
13:58Unknown to Tom, Zach is hiding another phone and secretly reconnects with Sophia, hoping to apologize for his past mistakes.
14:07As the night continues, Tom spends time working with Lexi on a legal case.
14:12Their professional relationship becomes increasingly personal and old feelings resurface.
14:18Although both know they are crossing dangerous boundaries, they struggle to maintain distance.
14:24Meanwhile, Anna becomes trapped at a motel because of a storm.
14:28While there, she continues digging into Max's past.
14:32A mysterious woman arrives looking for him, adding another layer of uncertainty.
14:36Later, Anna shares coffee with Max, and their conversation turns toward the original trial.
14:42Max insists that something changed between them years ago.
14:45Though Anna initially resists, she eventually admits she made mistakes and apologizes for her role in his case.
14:52Max accepts the apology, but leaves many questions unanswered.
14:57Back in Savannah, Natalie grows closer to Nevaeh and opens up about her feelings of isolation.
15:03She confesses that she often feels disconnected from everyone around her, including her parents.
15:09When the storm clears, Anna returns home.
15:12She and Tom spend the evening together, both trying to act as though their lives are returning to normal.
15:17However, the growing secrets within the family suggest otherwise.
15:23Elsewhere, Max receives a tape from an unknown woman.
15:26As he listens to it, something in the recording deeply disturbs him.
15:30The reaction triggers a violent outburst, and he destroys the television in his room, while struggling with memories from his
15:38past.
15:45After paying for Tom's drinks, Max reveals that Zach had given him a drawing of Adam that came from a
15:51dream, claiming the boy finds it easier to open up to strangers than to his parents.
15:56He remarks that Zach needs a father, leaving Tom unsettled.
16:01Anna later encounters the mysterious woman from the hotel standing in the middle of the road.
16:06The woman warns her to stay away from Max before disappearing.
16:09At home, tensions continue to rise as Anna misses another family commitment because of Ruben Ramirez's case, while Natalie lashes
16:18out at both of her parents.
16:21Anna, Noah, and Ray try convincing Ruben not to give up hope, believing Warren's smiley pit can prove his innocence.
16:28At the same time, Tom ends Zach's therapy sessions after disagreeing with Dr. Carlyle's approach.
16:35Natalie skips soccer practice with Amber, who takes her to a hidden tattoo parlor where she gets a piercing.
16:41Anna visits Smiley, hoping to secure his testimony, but he threatens her with a gun after realizing she is trying
16:47to record him.
16:48Meanwhile, Tom attempts to reconnect with Zach by taking him to an art show, unaware Zach secretly arranged to meet
16:56Sophia there.
16:57Their confrontation triggers Tom's painful memories, revealing his older brother died by suicide rather than in a car accident.
17:05Later, Tom finds Zach underwater in the pool, performing breathing exercises from therapy.
17:10The emotional conversation that follows helps Tom finally open up about his past while encouraging Zach to become the person
17:18he wants to be.
17:20Max publicly campaigns for Ruben's release, then offers Anna help persuading Smiley after learning about the failed meeting.
17:28Elsewhere, Max is recognized at a car dealership by a salesman whose wife knew Melissa.
17:34After insulting the salesman with cruel accusations, Max is escorted away by the manager.
17:39Amber later sneaks Natalie into Callie's house, where they grow closer before narrowly escaping when someone returns home.
17:47Natalie admits she barely recognizes Zach anymore.
17:51Anna eventually accepts Max's assistance with Smiley.
17:54While she waits outside, the mysterious woman warns her that Max manipulated other women before them.
18:00Inside, Max violently attacks Smiley and forces a recorded confession,
18:05proving Andre King shot me a cook while Ruben was never present.
18:09With the recording, Anna tells Ruben he is finally going home.
18:13However, Zach receives a devastating call from Sophia rejecting him, causing him to spiral and contact Angel X for help.
18:21At the same time, Ray discovers Amber is actually Nevaeh Valentine,
18:26whose mother lost her job after having a relationship with Max while he was in prison.
18:30The episode closes as Max secretly meets Nevaeh.
18:33Nevaeh returns home briefly before heading to a movie theater, where Anna confronts her.
18:39Anna reveals she knows Max Cady is her father and accuses Nevaeh of targeting Zach on Max's behalf.
18:46Nevaeh insists she acted on her own and mocks the Bowdoin family's problems,
18:51exposing personal details about Natalie and Zach.
18:53The confrontation turns physical, ending with Anna pushing Nevaeh into the street, where she is struck by a car.
19:01Nevaeh quickly gets up and disappears.
19:03Anna and Tom report the incident to police, only to learn Faith has reported Nevaeh missing.
19:10Meanwhile, Natalie watches footage of the confrontation online,
19:14while Zach grows suspicious of her connection to Nevaeh.
19:17Tom's dinner with Lexi is interrupted when Max claims he never ordered Nevaeh to stalk the family
19:23and says she contacted him while he was in prison.
19:26After Tom receives the video of Anna pushing Nevaeh, he confronts Anna at home.
19:32She finally tells Natalie that Amber is actually Nevaeh, Max's daughter, and warns her to stay away from her.
19:39Elsewhere, Max encounters Crystal, a troubled woman from his past.
19:43Their emotional reunion quickly becomes hostile, and Max threatens to kill her if she approaches him again.
19:50Anna is questioned by detectives over Nevaeh's disappearance,
19:54while Noah removes her from Ruben's case because of the growing controversy.
19:58At the same time, Catherine removes Lexi from Tom's legal team,
20:02believing their relationship has become a distraction.
20:06Natalie and Zach argue after Zach learns about Nevaeh's comments.
20:10The conflict escalates until Anna steps in, leading to more family secrets being exposed.
20:16Tom and Lexi also clash over their complicated relationship, leaving Tom's career at risk.
20:22Determined to stop Max, Anna asks Ray for help before visiting Faith, who refuses to cooperate.
20:29Later, Tom seeks advice from Max about his personal troubles, unaware he is being manipulated.
20:34Faith eventually admits Max has a dangerous influence over Nevaeh,
20:38and secretly tells Anna where to find her.
20:41Anna follows the lead to a cemetery, where she discovers Zach's missing toe and a prison postcard from Max,
20:48proving he had been grooming Nevaeh for years.
20:50She later returns to Faith's house and finds her dead,
20:54with the strange object Zach discovered now lying nearby.
20:58Meanwhile, Max joins Tom at a bar,
21:01where a fight breaks out after he defends a woman from her aggressive partner.
21:04The violent incident is captured on camera.
21:09Tom's attempt to clear up the situation with Lexi backfires
21:12after recordings of his messages are played for his partners, resulting in his suspension.
21:18Anna is also suspended from work.
21:20As they finally agree Max has been manipulating everyone,
21:24Tom looks outside and sees Natalie talking to Max.
21:27He orders Max to leave,
21:29only to watch him calmly walk into the house directly across the street from theirs.
21:34Next, we see flashbacks to Max Cady's time in prison.
21:38After a brutal fight, he got badly injured.
21:41As he struggles with despair,
21:43another inmate introduces him to a religious cult centered around Chango,
21:47promising power over death.
21:49Max embraces the group's rituals
21:51and begins experiencing visions of his late wife and son,
21:55believing he has found a new purpose.
21:57In the present, Tom and Anna tighten security
22:01after discovering Max has moved into the house across the street.
22:04They install trackers for Zach and Natalie,
22:07but realize there is little they can legally do
22:10because Max has not committed a crime they can prove.
22:13The pressure begins taking its toll on the family.
22:17Natalie, overwhelmed by everything happening around her,
22:21drinks heavily before crossing paths with Max.
22:23He gives her a ride home, apologizes for Nevaeh's actions,
22:27and offers advice about loneliness,
22:29continuing to manipulate the family while presenting himself as sympathetic.
22:34That night, tensions explode inside the Bowdoin home.
22:38Natalie questions Tom about his suspension from work,
22:41while Anna struggles through an anger management session.
22:44As the arguments intensify,
22:46everyone begins behaving strangely
22:48after unknowingly consuming tea laced with LSD from Tom's supply.
22:52The drug causes the entire family to lose control
22:55as paranoia, fear, and buried emotions surface.
22:59During the chaos, a drone flies through the house,
23:02recording everything before Natalie finally shoots it down.
23:06The following morning,
23:07Tom and Anna realize someone deliberately drugged them,
23:10but have no evidence to take to the police.
23:13Instead, they confront Max at his home.
23:15To their surprise, their missing cat is there,
23:19and Max appears completely at ease with his new companion, Honey.
23:23Over lunch, they attempt to negotiate a peaceful solution.
23:27Max demands a public apology,
23:29in which Anna and Tom admit exactly how they wronged him.
23:33He also insists they both give up practicing law.
23:36When they refuse to accept his conditions,
23:39Max makes it clear he has no intention of ending his campaign against them.
23:44Another flashback reveals Max fully embracing the prison cult
23:48before murdering his own cellmate,
23:50convinced his violent rage is part of his spiritual transformation.
23:54Back home, Anna and Tom discover
23:57Zach has secretly drugged the family's tea
23:59and accidentally started a small fire.
24:02While searching his room,
24:03they uncover a hidden passage beneath the house.
24:06Tom follows it until the floor collapses beneath him,
24:10leading to the horrifying discovery
24:12that someone has been secretly living inside their home.
24:15The hidden occupant is revealed to be Nevea.
