After being exposed in front of the whole village, Caleb Milligan is completely devastated. He shuts his door for days, rejecting his family.

Ruby is both hurt and angry, still wanting to believe her husband is innocent, but new clues make it impossible for her to turn back.

A witness claims to have seen Caleb meet Anthony Fox the night he died – right on the path leading to the woods where the police found his body.

The police return to the village to take statements, and Ruby is drawn into the investigation as a “provider of evidence”.

Amidst the tension, Caleb comes to find her. The scene is quiet but heartbreaking: he says hoarsely, “I didn’t kill Anthony, but I know who did.” Ruby is tearful: “Then why are you silent?” Caleb replies: “Because if you tell, I’ll never be safe.”

As Caleb prepares to leave, Ruby takes his hand: “Stay and face it.” He just smiled, leaving the letter in her pocket: “If the truth makes you lose me, remember – I really loved you.”

Final scene: Ruby steps out onto the porch, the rain pouring down, reading the letter in tears. In the background, Caleb leaves the village in an old truck, its red lights flashing in the dark.

The next day, the villagers are talking loudly: Caleb is gone, Anya is not found, the Anthony Fox case is officially reopened. Ruby is invited as a witness, but she knows – darkness still covers the Dales.

The recap leaves the question hanging: Did Caleb run away, or was he trying to save someone else? Either way, Ruby knows that from the moment she plays that video, no one in the Milligan household can return to normal life.
