00:00 You know that literature residency program I talked to you about?
00:03 They picked me to go.
00:04 Ah! Yes!
00:06 But I can't accept it, Mom.
00:08 The program itself, it costs money.
00:11 You're going to London.
00:12 No matter what I have to do to get you there.
00:15 Maybe we can get along.
00:17 I thought with all the medical bills from Dad and the second mortgage, we wouldn't be eligible.
00:22 A mother-daughter pageant?
00:25 Look at the cash prize.
00:26 A hundred thousand dollars.
00:28 Don't people train for years to win these things?
00:31 Who are those two?
00:32 Nice to meet you. I haven't seen you around.
00:34 Pageants are such a small world.
00:36 I have never seen anyone eat carbs at one of these things.
00:39 I'm Sophie.
00:40 I'm Mia, by the way.
00:42 I saw you talking to my mom Darcy earlier.
00:44 That's Liliana Bordeaux.
00:46 Her grandmother, Rebecca.
00:48 She's basically royalty.
00:50 That's Harper.
00:52 She died.
00:54 A few weeks before the last pageant.
00:56 She was attacked in the parking lot of her gym.
00:59 Cops said it was a random robbery.
01:01 Hi.
01:02 You're Amelia, right?
01:03 I'm Adeline.
01:04 Nice to meet you.
01:05 Darcy says that you're new to pageants.
01:07 I look forward to getting to know you better.
01:08 Same.
01:09 The judges watched the interviews and seemed quite interested in our newcomers.
01:13 I watched for years as you lost every single pageant I put you in.
01:18 My dress.
01:19 Somebody in this room destroyed it.
01:22 No one's going to fess up.
01:23 Amelia had a pair of scissors in her purse.
01:25 What?
01:26 The deposit is overdue for the literature residency.
01:29 I'll give them a call and see if there's something we can work out.
01:32 Or we could win the pageant.
01:34 Amelia Connors.
01:36 It's just refreshing to have contestants who aren't so rehearsed.
01:39 Thank you.
01:40 Everybody here is a threat.
01:42 You know my family legacy is at risk.
01:44 Shame about what happened to that judge.
01:47 Lisa.
01:50 Cyrus is gone.
01:51 And died.
01:52 Wasn't going to vote for me.
01:54 Mom, if Adeline is responsible for Cyrus or Harper's death, we have to do something.
02:00 Adeline was at the country club the night Cyrus died.
02:04 Does the country club have security cameras?
02:06 Is that Adeline and Cyrus?
02:09 Isn't that where he died?
02:11 You killed Cyrus, didn't you?
02:13 You're not leaving until you tell us what happened to Harper.
