Cruel Summer (2021) - Season 1 Edit

A car accident.

A couple copies in New Releases.

A desperate thirst for gossip.

A devastatingly handsome older bother

A distortion in reality, like a nightmare, yeah, that can be very startling.

A dozen times when I was her age.

A few gals are coming over

A few months after I was kidnapped,

A few months after I was kidnapped...

A girl.

A girls' day sounds like fun.

A good idea like leaking the lawsuit to the press

A house sitting vacant still

A letter accusing her of lying?

A little more open than most.

A lot.

A lotta family drama back then.

A man can dream, right?

A man joined her.

A man the grownups trusted.

A mother will go to great lengths to protect

A new year, a new you... Smile!

A non couple couple today at school with Ben?

A recipe for disappointment.

A rumor like that could tarnish his integrity,

A therapist is not a sister.

A therapist is not a sister.

A very happy anniversary it is.

A Wallis cannot be calling a Turner right now.

A word?

About doing all those extra chores, so...

About something so serious.

About something this serious.

About that necklace, I have had this pit in my stomach

About the other girl from Widow Falls.

About your likability.

Actually I thought I saw her at the drug store

Actually kind of like this one. You should keep it.

Actually, I may have one that'll send shivers down your spine.

Actually...

After I hit "play," I'll slip out.

After I took a chance at freedom, things got worse.

After Kate was rescued?

After my last two birthdays,

After raising two kids...

After spending months in captivity

After... the promise ring.

Again?

Against that malicious little weenie weasel.

Ah, an out of towner. I'm new here, too.

Ah, kids are kids.

Ah, whoa. No public affection, okay?

Ah! Thanks, Mom.

All alone and vulnerable.

All alone.

All I'm saying is that the weird apple

All of it?

All right, come on, I'm closing up.

All right, Gideon is pulling up.

All right, here we go! So we're going up on the bench. Let's go!

All right, then.

All right, Tucker, you always have the best ghost stories, hit us.

All right, your funeral.

All right?

All right. Let's get you home.

All set?

Also on the list is stealing, lucky number 13,

Also perfect. He's a newb, which gives you the social upper hand.

Also, sorry to say this, but your dad is kind of fine.

Always a pleasure, Greg!

Always happy to meet a fan, and a new neighbor.

Always win.

Am I sleeping at your place tonight?

An apology for child abuse.

An arm and a leg for every minute of Ms. Harper's time.

An unnamed teen from Widow Falls, Texas,

Anchor: A strange twist in the shocking story of Jeanette Turner,

Anchor: Kate Wallis was not the first minor

Anchor: Storms across the Midwest have caused a series of blackouts...

And "B," she's way out of your league.

And a very large sum of money.

And all hell will break loose.

And an investigation into her abduction is underwa.

And are praying for her safe return.

And as comfortable as possible.

And as you and I both know, it's never as good as the original.

And at that time, you believed Jeanette?

And athletic like you and your friends?

And awkward or whatever...

And big, nasty anniversary smiles.

And calling all the shots.

And cheerleading captain.

And children and property,

And city officials are saying, "Get ready

And dinner's not even until 7:00.

And enjoy movies like you and I used to?

And even worse, she saw me.

And everybody's gonna see that gorgeous smile.

And everyone knows it.

And finally, thankfully, rescued

And front door is base, okay?

And go thrift shopping again.

And guess what we got? The sequel.

And happy first day of summer.

And have a big old family.

And have her sprinkle that around town.

And he had a couple of showings this afternoon

And he realized that I'd claw him to death if I had the chance.

And he thought maybe he had left his briefcase here,

And he took that!

And he's my friend.

And hearsay doesn't really amount to much.

And held captive by her former assistant principal

And her abductor has been killed in a deadly shootout.

And her phenomenal travel agency.

And I actually think that Jeanette should choose the movie,

And I came with a little bit of baggage

And I can give you a ride if you'd like.

And I can't anymore.

And I don't go hunting without arming up first.

And I don't want to stay there.

And I drew a bath and I got in.

And I forget for a moment

And I got a contact high.

And I got this sort of weird sensation.

And I just grabbed it and I told him to run.

And I keep thinking, why me?

And I know I shouldn't have done it, but I just...

And I know that you said that I should choose my battles,

And I know you already talked to Jeanette's lawyer, so...

And I know you don't wanna hear this,

And I know you very well, because you're me 24 years ago.

And I know you're really mad at the world right now,

And I lied to you about it.

And I need somebody to talk to, and I need to talk about it.

And I needed you to take this lawsuit seriously!

And I ruined my best friend's future.

And I saw Jeanette fleeing the scene.

And I saw you.

And I thought that I was like...

And I told my lawyers that I had my story straight.

And I was backing up and I'm... I'm sorry.

And I was gonna give it back to her when school began.

And I was gonna give it back to her when school began.

And I went to the windows to

And I will discipline her as I see fit!

And I will never forgive myself

And I...

And I'd love to say I'm sorry, but I'm not, at all.

And I'll regret what I did

And I'm her father.

And I'm over seeing him everywhere, but...

And I'm really...

And I'm so... so sorry.

And I'm tired.

And I'm Vince.

And I'm who you invited over?

And I'm...

And I've never seen you happier than

And if anyone is stepping out in that house, it's Joy.

And if I did set into motion

And if I ever find out that it was you who sent that...

And if one of those roaches gets deposed,

And if you had anything to do with that...

And if you were the Wicked Witch,

And if you're giving it away, I could really use a printer.

And in a dorm room?

And in its place, this bullshit.

And in this case, falsely equate lying

And it can be confusing.

And it got me thinking.

And it loses us this case,

And it means I am all in on us.

And it ruins the rest of your day.

And it's a bit of an extension

And it's gonna break your heart.

And it's gonna break your heart.

And it's your problem,

And Jeanette said that maybe I could use your bathroom?

And Kate may trust you, but I don't.

And lame first impression.

And last I checked, Jamie's still with Kate so even if he is here,

And look how short the lines are.

And love me anyway!

And making me out to be the bad guy...

And most of the time that row winds up being in first class.

And much perseverance in order to...

And my feelings.

And my mind.

And my mom leaving.

And my sweet girl, he was hooked.

And not terrifying movies where people are

And now look...

And now she's just going out in public to taunt me?

And now she's watching old movies,

And now that I'm a high school grad, I don't need permission.

And now that I'm back,

And now we have proof.

And now?

And one of these days, the rest of the world's gonna see what I see.

And only a week ago seeing the guy that did it

And our daughter just lied about it!

And our daughter just lied about it.

And our daughter just lied about it... to the police.

And our marriage was...

And parents can't keep you safe,

And perfect.

And pretty soon those braces will be off

And Rod makes a venison dish that is to die for.

And saliva.

And she denied it.

And she did send the "liar" letter

And she'll never back down?

And so lonely...

And speak gibberish to complete strangers.

And squishy.

And surprised...

And tell everyone what a sicko you are.

And that falls into a ball and so on and so on,

And that falls into stacked cards

And that is how we prepare.

And that means that you have

And that stupid Jeanette Turner

And that trust...

And that was when I met Annabelle.

And that you were puking your guts out.

And that's it for this round!

And that's not gonna be good for anybody.

And the ability to close for maintenance.

And the Fourth is starting off with a bang.

And the governor of Texas called me a disgrace.

And The Marsha Bailey Show.

And the moment that I questioned you,

And the other one's gonna join them soon enough.

And the Wallis kids if you see them, okay?

And then I realized no one in this house had an appetite.

And then overnight she became like this other person.

And then she changed.

And then somewhere along the way,

And then they said a whole bunch of stuff about Jeanette

And then you remember?

And then you twisted my words

And then you wind up sitting next to a corpse?

And then you'd be stuck in a town that's turned on you

And there ain't too many of those.

And there was something...

And there were days that I couldn't

And there's another here, uh...

And there's no way she'd ever do something like that.

And there's no way she'd ever do something like that.

And this one might be silver.

And this other girl shouldn't come out of the woodwork

And throw that little bitch in jail.

And to celebrate...

And to the movies, and to the roller rink,

And to your knowledge,

And to your knowledge, has Jeanette

And tomorrow everyone will be talking about

And walked out that door.

And we are sympathetic.

And we can pretend like we're from a different country

And we fight tooth and nail to survive it.

And we have to finish them all before school starts.

And we took it down to the shop and had it developed.

And we're making a list of all the things we're gonna do this summer,

And we're pretty much strangers.

And we're the geniuses behind it.

And what about Jeanette?

And what is the nature of your current relationship?

And what makes you think that?

And what's your excuse?

And whatever you say,

And when I should have turned right,

And when my Rod moved to town, we welcomed him with open arms.

And who the hell is Annabelle?

And why should I even believe you?

And yeah, as a result,

And you actually know him?

And you and I are gonna have a very serious problem.

And you and Mallory Higgins were with Jeanette

And you can kiss your college fund goodbye with it.

And you can say no, but just...

And you can't turn down a dare.

And you left me alone to fend for myself.

And you need to tell me the truth.

And you never went back?

And you punched me in the face?

And you repay me by flushing my mom's bag of joints!

And you stole it from my office?

And you want me to be more likable?

And you want relief, reach for the proven choice.

And you went bananas because our stuffed animals

And you were homecoming queen.

And you were on your way to see me?

And you're being a bitch!

And you're bold.

And you're not a very nice old one.

And you're repaying me by flushing my mom's bag of joints?

And you're sure it was Jeanette?

And you've never hurt a fly.

And, at the very least, does it have to be number one?

And, hey, speaking of phone calls...

And, Kate, if you're watching just...

And, uh, what?

And, uh...

And, uh... you know, some big family secret.

And, um...

And?

And...

And...

And... and Miss Piggy that one time.

And... and...

And... Jeanette denied it's hers.

And... you're stalling.

Anderson: Thank you for coming in, Mrs. Wallis, Kate.

Anderson: You threw it away?

Anderson: You'll be joining us?

Angela and Jeanette: ♪ 25 years and my life is still... ♪

Angela let me in.

Angela thinks we should date.

Angela: Ha ha ha.

Angela: Happy anniversary.

Angela: Nope. No.

Angela.

Angela."

Announcer 2: When the migraine headache just won't stop

Announcer: Come and try our mouthwatering cheeseburger.

Any idea what that might be?

Any interest in outer space?

Any time.

Any truth at all,

Anything Hank can do to suck up to your step daddy...

Anything to help. Right?

Anyway, I see Cindy just kind of... starin' at me.

Anyway, your mom gave away the muffins at church.

Apparently they already have.

Are nachos like the perfect food?

Are sure to come.

Are the lawyers harassing you now, too?

Are the police... dealing with her?

Are these your new friends?

Are we still doing that?

Are we supposed to be in here?

Are you cold? Here.

Are you dating anyone?

Are you drunk?

Are you even on your own side?

Are you even supposed to be talking to me?

Are you gonna call her out?

Are you gonna call the cops?

Are you high right now?

Are you home?

Are you in... here?

Are you just saying that because it's my birthday?

Are you kidding me?

Are you kidding me? I better wait till after the fireworks.

Are you okay, Jeanette?

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Are you okay? I'm Martin.

Are you ready for your present?

Are you ready?

Are you seriously defending a pedophile?

Are you seriously still carrying around Kate's scrunchie?

Are you still on my side?

Are you sure this is a good setting for a first date?

Are you sure you're ready now?

Are you?

Are you...

Aren't exactly a birthday treat.

Aren't you and Jeanette like best friends?

Around the fact that you've been lying to my face

As a career.

As a popular, bright and fun loving young girl

As a true daughter of Skylin, I can say with certainty

As an unreliable narrator.

As I very clearly stated,

As if we'd ever just run into Kate Wallis.

As police search for signs of her whereabouts.

As police search for signs of her whereabouts.

As the Carny gods intended.

As we are just a few months away from the trial...

As you can imagine, it was a tearful reunion...

As your witness...

Ash, I really do need to talk to you.

Ashley: Hey.

Ashley: OCD as usual.

Ashley: She was actually Cleopatra's cunning older sister.

Ashley: She was heir

At all with what happened to Kate.

At every turn, Jeanette Turner seems to be one of those people.

At least put some earrings on.

At least that's what Greg Turner's calling it.

At Martin Harris's house.

At the fair to pay her legal fees.

At the salon, of course.

At this point, been interviewd

At your urging, and it got me sued.

AV Club meets in the morning,

Aww! You're mine.

Babs Stevenson has been, like, staring at me?

Babs: Have you, um, met the new guy?

Babs: Oh! Don't forget Homecoming!

Babs: You remind me of me and Hank when we were

Baby, that's what the lawyers are for.

Baby, this is an opportunity. It's an honor.

Baby, we raised a good kid.

Baby, we will not survive that.

Basically was grooming me from the moment that he met me?

Be pretty and popular and everybody's gonna notice me?

Be that as it may My cousin Trish, who works at a mall,

Beats me.

Because Annabelle sure has hers.

Because court is right around the corner, so

Because he planned to kidnap me?

Because I have to...

Because I knew my dad would go easy on me.

Because I think I can be pretty convincing.

Because I will call him myself.

Because I'm not a puppet!

Because if I do, then she'll find me, drag me home.

Because if you were carrying a secret like that around,

Because it is bad.

Because she couldn't find the remote.

Because she didn't.

Because that was bad.

Because the rules of separation say that I have to see you.

Because therapy tapes

Because there's provable facts and there's hearsay.

Because this place is always packed.

Because Vincent and I always have each other's back.

Because you didn't seem to hear me last time, okay?

Because you do have an ass for a face.

Because you need a bad guy!

Because you went off script!

Because you're jealous of me spending time with Daddy?

Because... I vote the same thing

Before anybody else did.

Before people wanted me dead.

Before the beer belly and my stretch marks from Tucker.

Before the Gravitron?

Before the kidnapping?

Before we even serve Kate?

Before we, you know...

Before you go calling me names...

Begging your grandma and grandpa to take me out.

Being a big brother.

Being friendless sucks.

Being on your side cost me my job,

Being on your side...

Ben Hallowell might be scoring

Ben, do you, in any way...

Ben, I've known Jeanette my entire life,

Ben: Hello?

Ben: Hey, Vince?

Ben: I need you to understand that...

Ben: Now is not the time. You can do this later

Ben: This is why I need my dad to invest in Caller ID.

Ben: We've been over this.

Ben...

Ben...

Besides, I gotta keep fit for your father,

Besides, I'm so sick and tired of talking about Martin Harris

Besides, too late.

Best birthday ever?

Best birthday...

Best damn quarterback since me! (chuckles)

Best way to make peace is a peace offering.

Betcha it'll probably cost me this house, too.

Between right and wrong to suit their needs.

Big mistake.

Billy Ray Cyrus gets me all hot and sweaty,

Bitter.

Blame Jeanette for what happened to you?

Blame Jeanette for what happened to you?

Bold freaks Greg out a little bit,

Boo, you're no fun!

Boom.

Both know is not the case.

Both: Corn dogs.

Both: Sure.

Boy: Hey.

Bravo. Really, job well done.

Breaking into a house is illegal.

Brilliant.

Bring them a muffin basket?

But at least he stayed.

But at least it's an explanation for the key.

But back to little Annabelle...

But by the end of last summer

But deep down he likes it.

But do you ever feel like sometimes...

But don't ever talk to me like that again.

But for some local residents, that year feels like a lifetime.

But have you checked out the new stuff at Limited?

But he "idn't."

But here's where we're confused.

But how did you manage to do this?

But I can feel that when everyone looks at us,

But I can't promise to play nice.

But I didn't know my world was upside down yet.

But I didn't, uh...

But I don't want you anywhere near Jamie.

But I don't want you to be in it.

But I don't.

But I guess you knew that?

But I just thought it might have something to do with Kate.

But I need to confront someone incredibly mediocre.

But I need you to feed me the bullets.

But I never showed her how.

But I saw you.

But I think she hates me.

But I think there's something that I need to do first

But I think you might at least owe her a conversation.

But I wanted to leave a different blueprint for my kids,

But I will die trying to protect you from everything else.

But I won.

But I'd be careful about what story you think you know.

But I'm here. I've been here.

But if Marsha Bailey interviews you,

But if you ever need to talk...

But if you never leave the fortress,

But if you wanna talk, you know where to find me.

But in the meantime...

But it does include a set of keys

But it is still anyone's game

But it kinda tastes like salt and ass.

But it's a liability to have someone with a record

But it's going to happen from time to time.

But it's your birthday, Kate

But maybe you and I can plan a trip sometime.

But most importantly, you.

But my Uncle Rick did take me to a Hole concert last summer

But not showing up to school is a whole new level.

But now it just feels like a different kind of cage.

But now Mallory hates me.

But now that evil is rotting in hell where he belongs.

But once he saw adorable widowed me

But one of my daughters is.

But right now, we're just talking.

But seriously, what's so special about Tanya?

But she didn't.

But she had no problem lying straight to my face.

But she paid a price.

But she's gonna kill us.

But sometimes I just wanna do something like...

But the answer is so obvious.

But the moment that he got me alone...

But the provable facts I know could have devastating consequences

But the rumor mills spin on,

But there may be a cockroach or two who believe Jeanette,

But there's a history between the two of you,

But there's an issue of concern here...

But they really mean it this time!

But they're also going to ask you.

But they're gettin' frustrated.

But this...

But unfortunately I remember every second of it.

But until this all blows over, I think...

But we can win it.

But we have a second chance now.

But what will we even talk about?

But with Jamie it was...

But you already know this, don't you?

But you and me...

But you are here with him, right?

But you had said...

But you just misunderstood.

But you knew she had a key to Martin Harris's house.

But you know the truth.

But you pulled away from me, too.

But you should probably call me Mr. Harris.

But you teed him up!

But you were pretty and popular in high school.

But you're not giving the impression

But you're seriously gonna come after my family's money with this lawsuit?

But you're still punishing me.

But you're still trying to figure out the world, kiddo.

But you're sure? You have zero doubts?

But your dad won't ever say the right stuff.

But your mom's stash makes it really funny!

But, hey, I appreciate your concern.

But, honestly, I think we can all relate

But, Jeanette, I need you to cooperate.

But, Kate...

But, Mallory, your mom called.

But, please, Jeanette, just answer the question.

But, um...

But, um... I don't want to...

But...

But...

But...

But...

But...

But... no one inside the family really wants to talk about it,

But... traveling all the time

But... when you look back on your life,

But... who's counting, right?

Buying black hair dye. (giggles)

By coming back here?

By covering it up, but you deserve the truth,

By dawdling with your little pals at the mall.

By example.

By the way, have you all seen Kate today?

By then I didn't really know who to believe.

Bye!

Bye!

Bye!

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Call your parents to pick you guys up?

Called Anabelle.

Called Port aux Français.

Caller ID?

Calm down, okay?

Can I ask what it was?

Can I ask you what you see her for?

Can I ask... what's this all about?

Can I confess something?

Can I have a whiskey and Coke?

Can I see the ring on your finger?

Can I tell you something?

Can we drop the stale "mother daughter bestie" thing?

Can we just move on from that?

Can we not be in a fight anymore?

Can we skip today?

Can we start with something that's not illegal?

Can we talk?

Can we, uh, please just pretend you didn't see that?

Can you at least ask her to talk to me?

Can you blame her?

Can you give me a minute?

Can you help me fix that?

Can you just go with me on this?

Can you please just give me a minute?

Can you please leave me alone

Candace: And the rooms are so spacious.

Candace: It'll be so good. Thank you.

Careful there.

Carny: There we go! There we go!

Cassiopeia. She's a W, five points.

Chatting with her sister.

Checking stuff off your oh so thrilling list?

Cheers.

Cheers.

Choose your battles.

Christmas Eve?

Cindy came to see me.

Cindy didn't take a lot of things.

Cindy was my high school sweetheart.

Cindy: ...you keep losing clients.

Cindy: Can you imagine how her parents must feel?

Cindy: Derek! We're eating.

Cindy: Honey, you splurged on me.

Cindy: I had a dream. I had like a real dream.

Cindy: I mean, it's not forever.

Cindy: I think you're right.

Cindy: I'll get it.

Cindy: I'm just...

Cindy: No, this is the third one that you lost this month...

Cindy: Okay.

Cindy: So, I've got a great idea.

Cindy: Stop, stop, stop. Ooh, wait! Stop, stop!

Cindy: That you got your braces off?

Cindy: The problem is that you keep losing clients right now.

Cindy: What about these prank calls we keep getting about Jeanette?

Cindy: Wow, look at this!

Claire, I think.

Clean as a whistle, huh?

Coke, no whiskey, coming up.

Come here, I need to talk to you.

Come here.

Come here. Now, come.

Come in!

Come inside.

Come inside.

Come on

Come on, Derek, be a good brother.

Come on!

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Does your new hobby have to include

Come out, come out, wherever you are.

Come to Hartwood tomorrow.

Coming back to find out her boyfriend's with someone else?

Coming up! It's too close to call.

Commentator: Paxton, a good hitter.

Commentator: Wow. Jeanette Turner is suing Kate Wallis?

Congrats. You can kiss whoever you want now.

Conniving? I first tried to be a positive influence...

Considering the circumstances.

Considering you do this every year.

Contraband.

Cool necklace.

Cool, yeah, you're right.

Cool.

Cost me my job...

Could be destroying your case any minute.

Could I get a Cosmo, please?

Could we have a moment alone, please?

Could we run through today's absences?

Could you even imagine?

Could you get me some water?

Couldn't have been too early.

Counsel?

Count to 100. Count to 100. No peeking.

Couple months ago.

Course I wasn't available.

Cowboys.

D Did Mallory say something?

D.T., phooone hoooome.

D.T.!

Dad and I don't have the bullshit privilege

Dad let me crack my first beer. Or so he thought.

Dad said Hank Stevenson had a "change of heart" about Dad listing his house

Dad, did you remember the earplugs?

Dad, I camped out in line overnight

Dad, what are you doing?

Dad, you have to say that.

Daddy'll drown him

Damn straight. I'll have that anchor's job!

Dang, I was hoping for...

Dangerous stuff, even.

Dead. Come on.

Deep breaths.

Deep breaths.

Deliciously pathetic.

Denise: Tanya Peterson had exactly

Derek spilled soda on my shoes.

Derek still talks to me, but Jeanette doesn't, not really.

Derek told me you worked here.

Derek Turner! What a surprise.

Derek, you can skip dessert and still make it to the concert, yeah?

Derek: Hi.

Derek: How so?

Derek: I'm gonna go get the wash going.
