The story so far
Everything you need before watchingAfter the crash, Nick finds Gatsby sitting alone in the dark outside Daisy's house. He asks if there was trouble on the road. The woman is dead. Gatsby first takes the blame, then drops his voice and says Daisy was driving. He makes Nick promise secrecy and vows to wait all night in case Tom turns violent. Inside, Tom soothes Daisy and talks about leaving town.
