Baby, think, okay?

Listen, wrong leg.

Taylor, do you need a nap?

Oh, maybe.

So glad you're here.

Welcome to Vanderton.

It's nice to finally meet you in person.

Yeah, you too, Coach Hayes.

Thank you so much for this opportunity.

Of course.

Ladies, listen up.

I want you to meet Maisie Martin, Amelia's twin sister.

Hi. I think I speak for everyone when I say we're so very sorry we lost her in

such a tragic way.

Thanks, Coach.

Maisie will be joining the squad effective today.

She transferred from California University where, I might add, she made

the semifinals of the Collegiate National Cheer Championship last year.

Y 'all can probably learn a thing or two from her.

Hi, I'm Ella, cheer captain.

Hey, you up for joining practice today?

Yeah. Yeah, bring it on.

Welcome to the team. Thank you.

Ready? Okay.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Thank you. You're welcome.

The new girl was pretty impressive.

Okay, wait, you go ahead.

I'll be there in a sec.

You're really good.

Oh, uh, thanks.

Amelia was a great friend.

Her death really affected us.

Honestly, that means a lot. Thanks.

Welcome to the spot.

See ya.

You picked up those routines really quick.

That was an awesome standing back tuck.

It better be. I've been cheering since I was like eight.

Confidence. I like that.

I'm Lisa, by the way. Hey.

You remind me so much of your sister.

I mean, more than the fact that you're crazy identical.

Really? Like, how?

Just your energy, the way you carry yourself.

Everyone loved her, you know?

Um, uh, yeah.

Thanks. Well, I'm glad you're here.

See you tomorrow, okay? Okay.

See ya.

How was your first day?

It was pretty good.

Everyone was really nice.

Yeah? Yeah.

It was a little weird, though.

You know, just like being in the gym where Amelia knew everyone and she was

happy. I don't know, just weird.

You know, I think about her every day.

I still think something was going on with her, though.

I don't know.

You know, she practically stopped answering my calls. And then when she

she'd barely talk.

As much as she thought that we shared the same brain, but that was the first

time I truly didn't understand what's going on with her.

I loved how close you guys were.

Remember when she wouldn't let you go to that prom store with her?

What?

And then you guys came home with the exact same dress.

Blue cut out with lace.

And then Amelia insisted that she get her own dress because we needed to be

individuals. Mom.

Hey.

Who is that?

I know you wouldn't kill yourself, Amelia.

I need to figure out what happened to you.

Amelia always spoke her mind. I remember one time a soccer player said cheering

wasn't a real sport, and so Amelia challenged her to one of our rigorous

routines. The girl did not stand a chance. Yeah, that sounds like Amelia.

I wish I had known she was in so much pain.

I really miss her.

Do you want to sit for a bit? Yeah. Okay.

Thanks.

Was she really in pain, though?

That's what Mr. Thornton told us. That she was depressed.

Mr. The athletic director?

How would he know?

He's pretty involved with the squad. He considers it a huge part of the athletic

department. What else did he say?

That the pressure of cheer in school was too much for her.

He even brought in a grief counselor for us to talk to.

That's weird.

I mean, Amelia had a 4 .0 average, and cheering came effortlessly to her.

Didn't anyone else think it was a little bit strange that she took her own life?

Apparently, Amelia had an eating disorder.

What? No.

Coach Hayes told her to lose 10 pounds or she'd be kicked off the squad. No.

There's no way Amelia would not have come to that.

You were 3 ,000 miles away, right?

I know you're twins, but maybe you didn't know everything about your

There was this cheerleader on her screensaver. She wasn't at practice, but

had brown curly hair.

Kiki Nels.

Yeah. Amelia and her were really close.

She never mentioned her.

Um, where is she?

Quit the squad. From what I heard, same thing. Just couldn't handle the

pressure.

But we should go to practice.

Okay, yeah, sure. Of course, yeah.

Ladies, I have an announcement.

Hey, that's Mr. Thornton, right?

Yeah, he's the best.

I come bearing good news, everyone.

We've secured another sponsor.

And that means new uniforms.

And brush up on your current affairs.

We've been invited by Channel 55 to appear live on their morning talk show.

And that's going to be great coverage before the championship game.

You know how much I believe in this squad.

Vanders and Shear is the pride of this school.

And when it comes to spirit, nobody represents the Sharks better than you.

So keep up the good work.

Thanks, Rob.

Absolutely. So long.

Thanks.

Thank you, Mr. Thornton.

Amazing news.

On that note, we're going to two -day practices starting today.

I want perfection.

Maisie, can I talk to you for a sec? Sure. Yeah. Hey, Mr.

Thornton wants to see you in his office after practice.

Oh.

Did I do something wrong? No, relax. He just wants to welcome you. Oh, okay.

Cool.

Okay, everyone in formation.

What was that all about?

Uh, I don't know, actually.

Oh. Let's get this started.

Ready? Okay!

We're the Sharks and we can't be beat!

Cause we got the power to knock you off your feet!

Go Sharks!

Maisie, so nice to meet you.

Please have a seat.

Okay.

Um, is everything okay?

I just wanted to introduce myself and welcome you to Vanderton.

I'm Rob Thornton, the athletic director here.

Nice to meet you.

I mean, I'm sorry for the reason you're here, but we are honored you chose us.

And I want you to know you've got the full support of this school and me.

Thank you.

Amelia had such incredible potential.

Her death left a real void here.

Now, in light of what happened, I also wanted to assure you that we've taken a

very hard look at the cheer program, and we've implemented safeguards so a

tragedy like your sister's won't happen again.

You mean another suicide?

I've spoken with Coach Hayes, and she can be intense.

Yeah.

But I told her to back off with weight requirements for one, and too much

practice time. I want this to be a fun experience.

Right. Didn't she just announce two -a -day practices, though?

Well, special circumstances for the TV appearance. You understand.

Right, of course.

Yeah, it's a really cool opportunity.

So if you see anything out of line, please, my door is always open.

Great. You're going to be great, Macy.

Thanks, Mr. Thorne.

We could have a problem.

You mean with Maisie?

She had a skepticism to her.

It's just a feeling.

I told you you shouldn't have let her join the squad.

You don't think it would have looked heartless if we rejected her transfer

request after her sister just died?

Keep an eye on her.

She's so pretty.

She could have been a superstar off the court.

What a waste.

Speaking of business, how are you doing with the new girls?

Same as the rest.

They're desperate.

My daddy, if she isn't willing to do anything for money.

Good work getting him on board.

I trust you're staying under the radar?

Trying.

But I've been a very bad girl lately.

Because I've fallen for a handsome married man.

Well, you know what happens to bad girls.

See you later. Bye, Nicole.

So, what's her deal?

Nicole? Yeah.

I know she's on a partial scholarship.

Came from nothing.

I think she's the first person in her family to go to college, too.

Oh,

you're taking physics, too?

Yeah, I have my first class tomorrow.

Nice. Want to come by tonight?

We can catch you up on everything and we can wallow in beta decay together.

Yes, yes.

Hey,

it's me.

Have a seat.

Hey, um, can I ask you something?

Sure.

Before you said that, Nicole came from humble beginnings, right?

Yeah.

How does she live the life she lives? I mean, she definitely makes a statement.

As in, how does she get her money?

Yeah. Look, I just want to keep my nose clean and get into med school.

Yeah, but it'll just be between you and me, though.

But you didn't hear from me, okay?

Yeah, totally.

is some of the cheerleaders are cam girls.

Like, as in they dance for guys on the internet?

Yeah. Oh.

You think Nicole's one of them?

I think so.

They know that I would never, so they don't really talk to me about it, but I

hear things.

Like, the site makes a lot of money and so do the girls.

What's the site called? I think it's called, like,

Cheerleadercamgirls .com.

We should look at the site.

No.

Don't you want to know if it's really happening?

I mean, I could look.

They're not showing their faces?

So that they can't be recognized.

Smart.

That one could be Nicole, but I don't know for sure.

Yeah.

Welcome. Does that sound like Nicole?

Maybe. You don't think they're going to take their clothes off, do you?

I hope not.

Look, pom -pom girl could be Kiki.

Lisa, look, we need to know for sure. This could be destroying their futures.

Yeah, but it's their choice, so... Right.

We should really study.

There's a lot to catch up on, so... Yeah.

Hey, why are you avoiding me?

Oh, Maze, I'm talking to you now.

Yeah, after I practically hunted you down. I've just been busy.

School, life, cheer, you get it. Yeah, but that's never stopped you from

up before.

Hey, what's going on? Oh, I'm just busy, I swear.

Nothing.

Um, are those new earrings?

Oh, I...

What's wrong?

Oh, it's your father. He got a DUI. He's at the police station.

Oh, my God. He's drinking again? Yeah, it's stress. It's his trigger.

Okay, I'm coming with you. No, it's late. You just stay here. Mom, I'm

with you. Okay, let's go.

Listen.

I'm totally exhausted, so I'm going to go up to bed.

We need to talk about this. I mean, together as a family.

I know.

I appreciate that you guys bailed me out, but I can't do this right now,

How's dad?

I'm letting him sleep it off.

We have to find a lawyer today.

Morning. Morning, Dad. Randy, we need to talk about that thing.

Well, I can't. I'm running late for work.

Work? No.

We need to talk about this.

There's things we need to do, like call a lawyer.

I will handle it.

I have a new meeting with a client today, so I... How are you getting to

Your car wasn't packed. I called Steve. He's outside.

I gotta go.

Shutting everyone out.

Yeah, it's because he doesn't know how to cope with Amelia's death.

Yeah, he feels guilty. I mean, he should have been able to.

So... You know, I'm going to stay home today. I'll stay home with you. No, no.

don't want you to miss practice in school.

You sure?

Yes.

I'll deal with you, Dad.

I felt bad about last night, so I asked around for you on the deal.

Yeah.

Kiki's brother, Max, is on campus.

He might be able to help.

Okay. Uh, thank you.

No problem.

Uh, where can I find him?

He works at the coffee shop with me.

Uh,

great perspective.

Yeah, you too.

Can I get a iced Malala?

Wow. I'm so sorry for staring. It's just... You look so much like... Oh,

Yeah, she was my sister.

Oh. I'm sorry. It's terrible what happened to her.

Yeah.

So, do you study here?

Yeah. I'm getting my MBA in accounting.

Who are you?

Computer science. I just transferred here, actually.

I wanted to be closer to my family.

After.

Right.

I'm Max, by the way.

I'm Lacey.

Nice to meet you.

I'm actually here to talk to you about Kiki.

What about Kiki?

I think she's in trouble.

Hey, man.

Come over for me. I'm going to take a break.

How long has it been since you've seen her?

Four months.

My whole family's been looking for her.

Kiki was always the girl who was on honor roll in high school.

Didn't even drink.

Then she joined the cheerleading squad, and everything just changed.

How? Well, she started driving an expensive car, wearing these nice

going out all the time.

She's just different.

heard something, and it's kind of disturbing.

I think some of the cheerleaders are working as camp girls, and they make,

a ton of money.

If you want the kids, you... I don't know.

It could be how she could afford all of that stuff.

Look, I hate to say it, but I think my sister might have been doing it, too.

Hey, Dad.

Hey. Hey.

How are you feeling?

Great.

How's school?

Fine. Good.

What's going on with you?

Mom and I are really worried.

Dad, talk to me.

It was just a lapse in judgment.

Okay? No, it's bigger than that.

You're never home anymore, ever.

And you never talk about Amelia.

What happened to her wasn't your fault.

You know that, right?

I, um... I just have to process this in my own way, okay?

Welcome, cheerleader.

You're pretty.

Thank you.

Would you like to see more?

Yes.

Just type in your credit card number and I'll fulfill all your fantasies.

What's your real name, girl?

I have another client who's waiting for not going to enter in your credit card

number.

Next time.

I'll be waiting.

Work call.

Plugged something on the site.

An IP address.

Registered to a Randy Martin.

311 Preston Lane, Philly.

Randy Martin?

Yeah, it's Maisie Martin's father.

You asked me to put her on my radar.

Oh, of course.

Good catch.

Someone from that address reached out to Kiki, then dropped off when the free

trial ended.

You think it was him?

Maybe, but the timing... My gut's telling me it's the girl.

What do you want me to do?

Get her to lose interest in whatever she's up to.

Did you find any skeletons?

No, no, nothing yet. But I did a bigger search. Her dad got a DUI last night.

We might be able to use that.

Find out where he likes to drink.

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking mess with her dad.

Mess with her.

Seven, eight.

Sharpen...

Nice work, ladies.

You'll be the superstars of Channel 55 News.

Take five, ladies.

Looking good, Maisie.

Thanks, Mr. Thornton.

You should know that I've chosen you to speak with the news anchors after the

live performance tomorrow.

Oh, me?

I don't think I'd be the best person for it. I just barely know the school. But

Ella. Ella would be perfect.

Well, Ella would be awesome in front of a crowd.

But live cameras aren't really her thing.

Oh.

So you represent everything we embody here at Vanderton.

Spirit, athleticism, determination in the face of tragedy.

Right. Yeah.

Wow, thanks.

I'll do my best to represent then.

Thanks.

How about he's having?

How about Sharks basketball?

Good season, huh?

I've never really been following them lately.

No, I don't follow the team either.

I'm going to get more for those hot cheerleaders.

You know what I'm saying?

I bet they're tramps too.

There was one honey I would have paid good money for.

She offed herself though.

Why don't you say?

Yeah. Yeah, she jumped right off the athletics board.

Ouch. Am I right?

She could have been my future ex -wife. What an amazing piece of...

Make sure you got everything.

I want to press full charges.

So where does Dwight think you are tonight?

School purchasing.

Well, your true captain was in need of immediate attention.

He's on his way to jail.

Thanks.

Done.

Daisy's gonna be a hot mess tomorrow.

If she even shows.

You got the stuff we talked about?

Yeah.

Apparently, it only takes a few minutes to kick in.

It should work like a charm.

She'll be begging to go back to California.

And out of our lives.

Hey, Mom.

I'm on my way home. Honey, your dad's at the police station again.

What? Why?

I don't know. Apparently he got into a bar fight. And just with a random

stranger and they're pressing charges.

He's downtown.

Same station as before. Okay.

I'll meet you there, I guess.

Okay, bye.

I can't believe they won't let Dad come home with us.

I'll be back first thing in the morning for his court appearance.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but at least he already has an attorney.

We should be able to get him bailed. You don't think this is going to affect his

DUI charge, do you?

Well, I don't think he's going to get that deal the lawyer was working on.

I am a little worried about his loan license.

Nice job.

Oh, my God, Mom. This is awful.

I know.

But we're going to get through this, okay?

Maybe this is the wake -up call you needed.

Yeah.

I just want my dad back, you know?

I know. Me too.

Have you guys heard from Macy?

No.

She's not answering her phone.

I'm really worried that something happened to her.

I actually heard she was out late partying.

She's here.

Unbelievable. A word, please.

Yeah.

You're 45 minutes late. I know. I'm so sorry.

Right.

What is going on with you?

Honestly, I got in so late. So you were partying?

No. Then where were you?

I've heard enough. You know what? Go get ready. Now.

It's almost showtime.

We'll talk after the show.

Sorry. Sorry.

I'm

really

mad. I know. I screwed up.

Everything okay?

Honestly, I can't really talk about it right now. I need to get camera ready,

I'll just...

The Vanderton basketball team is just days away from its championship game

Trinity Roads, and we have a special treat for you here in the News 55

I've been waiting for this all morning. The Vanderton cheerleaders are here to

perform for us. We'll be talking to the squad in just a minute, but first...

Take it away, ladies.

What's wrong with her?

That was

amazing. Well done, ladies.

Today we have with us Vanderton Athletic Director Rob Thornton and Chair Coach

Anna Hayes.

What's your secret?

Whatever team they're cheering for, our girls always have that winning spirit.

There must be something in the Vanderton water.

And how's the basketball team shaping up for the big game?

Amazing.

Amazing.

Amazing.

Everybody even watch this channel.

Hello, America.

Yours will always get the best of us.

I don't feel very good.

Cut to commercial.

What the heck is going on here?

wrong with you?

Nothing.

And how do you explain what just happened?

Someone was supposed to be coaching.

What do you mean?

What do you mean someone did this to you?

Shocks.

Shocks. Okay.

All right. Can someone get her sobered up, please?

Lisa. Can you see?

All right.

Everything's going to be okay. All right? I'll take you home.

Okay? It's okay. It's okay.

I want her off the squad.

What?

She made a fool out of us and was clearly on something.

Maisie said someone drugged her.

This isn't something that we should just push under the rug. This is serious.

She thinks someone drugged her? Yeah.

That's a stretch.

Either way, we can't kick her off the squad.

If she took the drugs herself, it could be a cry for help.

We don't want her to hurt herself.

And if someone drugged her, well, she's not the type of girl to just let it go.

And she shouldn't.

But she won't stop until she gets to the bottom of it.

Rob, both of these things bring us more bad press.

Is that what you want?

Fine.

I'll let her off with a warning this time.

But one more misstep and she's gone.

So, are you off the squad?

No, not yet.

But I'm sure it's coming.

I embarrassed everyone today. It was so mortifying.

What do you think happened?

Someone had to have put something in my water bottle. There's no other

explanation for it.

Do you still have it?

No. It conveniently disappeared from my bag.

Who would do something like that?

I don't know. I don't even know these girls.

The coach wants to see me tomorrow morning, though.

I don't want to be you.

What did your parents say?

I told my mom.

I'm not even sure she believes me.

And I haven't seen my dad yet today.

He got into a bar fight with some random... Over what?

Apparently the guy was saying some bad stuff about Amelia.

Amelia? It's weird, right? Like, almost like he knew just the right buttons to

push.

You said you found out something about Kiki, though, right?

Right, yeah.

I think I may have connected with her on the camera side.

I don't know whose shirt's on.

Pom -pom girl?

Yeah. Wait, did you log in, too? I had to.

I have to figure out what's going on with my sister. Did you use your real

I told her it was me, and then the site shut down my computer.

It's like somebody was watching us.

Then maybe somebody knew I was reaching out to Kiki using a fake profile.

You know, I bet they have the IP address from my parents' house.

Yeah, totally right.

Are you up for a trip to the campus computer lab?

Archie!

Excuse me.

Oh, sorry.

Ma 'am, uh... You scared me.

I'm looking for my dog, Golden.

If you see him, I've posted flyers around the neighborhood.

Yeah, for sure. I'll keep a look at it. Thanks. Shame what happened to your

husband.

Excuse me?

Yeah. And, uh, your daughter's train wreck appearance this morning?

You're not having a good year, are you?

I hope nothing else happens to your family.

See that symbol there?

That's the symbol for the dark web.

Definitely.

And darker.

Which is why I'm installing a VPN to keep our location private.

We're in.

Let's see if cheerleadercamgirls .onion works.

Just in case, I don't want them to see our faces, and they can hack

into the computer camera.

Hi,

big boy.

Where are you?

The city of brotherly love.

She's in Philly.

Can I see your face?

I have crypto.

Um, I was wondering if I could meet you?

Instead, how about I take the show to another level?

I'll make it worth your while if you enter in more crypto.

Sorry to watch.

No, stop.

I'm more into intimacy.

I'll make it worth your while.

What are we talking about?

$2 ,000 for one hour.

I think I could arrange that.

Where?

Kiki got an offer on the dark web for two grand for one hour.

Who's the buyer?

Someone named Keep Boy.

Untraceable. He wants to meet her at the Whitedale Hotel tomorrow at 8.

Gotta love quick money.

This smells to me.

I want to know our girls every...

I can't believe he's gone.

He's ruining her life.

You know, this just isn't my little sister.

Yeah, I know.

You know, I think I kind of took Amelia for granted.

I just always thought she would be here.

That one day we would have rooms beside each other in some cheesy Florida

retirement village.

I loved her so much.

This isn't fair.

My sister is a good person.

We have to get to the bottom of this.

Make these people pay.

We will.

We're going to.

Do you think I could talk to you about one thing?

Yeah, of course.

Before Amelia died, did it seem like she had any extra money?

We noticed that she had some nicer things.

But she said that the cheerleaders earned money on the side at functions.

The girls aren't allowed to earn extra money outside of the cheerleaders.

Well, what do you think was going on with her?

I think Amelia might have been caught up in something else.

Like what?

I don't know. I don't know exactly.

Things have been happening, right? Like your bar fight and my TV thing.

Your mom said a man approached her on her run today. Something about hoping

nothing else happens to us.

Dad,

I think this all might have something to do with Amelia's death.

I don't follow.

No, sorry, no.

It's nothing.

Never mind. It's probably just...

Someone from the neighborhood heard what happened to you, and it seems like the

whole world saw my news segment, Viral Vomit. So, never mind.

Um, what, uh... What did your coach say?

I haven't talked to her yet. I'm talking to her tomorrow.

But that could be the end of my cheer days.

You know, I miss the days when our biggest dilemma was what to choose to

game night.

That life was good.

Yeah.

Hey.

I love you, kiddo.

I love you, too.

Hey,

coach.

I'm just about to go clean up my locker.

Maisie, hold on.

I spoke to Mr. Thornton, and we decided to give you another shot.

But if you step out of line one more time, I'm talking a parking ticket on

campus, you're out.

Okay, absolutely.

Thank you.

Maisie, you said someone did this to you?

What did you mean?

It was all me, just nerves.

I guess it won't happen again, I promise.

and the girl are here.

Max? Kiki.

What is this?

Who the hell are you? I'm Amelia's sister, Maisie.

What are you doing here?

We want to help.

But you don't have to do this. You don't know anything about what I'm doing.

Yeah? I know the guys are paying you to take your clothes off.

They're apparently a whole lot more.

Let me help you. I don't want your help.

This is what I want, okay?

To be having sex with strangers?

This is what you want?

Look, I got a mountain of student debt and a friend startup I can go in on.

I have enough money, I'm out.

I'm trying to make a better life for myself, Max.

And this is how you do that?

Why couldn't you have stayed in school? Because I was failing.

I'm not cut out for college.

But Dal would never understand that. He would never understand this.

Was Amelia caught up in this too? I have to. Please, just tell me. No. Just tell

me who you're working for then.

I'm not going to put you in danger. Okay, danger.

Wait, wait, wait. Did Amelia die because of this?

Look, if you cared about her at all, you would tell us.

She didn't deserve what happened to her.

What do you mean deserve? I have to go.

No, don't touch me. I am not going to give up on you.

I'm here for you.

Please.

Please.

Let's just let her go.

She's obviously working for someone. We just, we don't know who yet.

What did you tell them?

Who?

Your brother. The cheerleader?

No, tell them.

They weren't there.

Stop lying.

What do they know?

Nothing. I would never say anything.

I don't believe you.

I need to talk to you.

Hey.

She's gone.

Who's gone?

Vicky's gone.

Oh, my God.

How?

I say, she was robbed.

This doesn't make sense.

We go to see her at the hotel last night, and then she turns up dead.

Max, this can't be a coincidence.

It's not what I had to do with her watching her.

Then let's two of us just know it.

This is not my fault.

I never should have pushed to go see her. I'm so sorry.

No, no. We both wanted to save you. Look how it turned out.

First Amelia, now Kiki.

Max, I'm scared.

We have to go to the police.

No, not yet. We don't have enough yet.

So we're just going to let them get away with it? No, no, no. We just need to

piece it together, okay?

I'm on the cheer squad and we know there's a connection there. I just have

find it.

That's too dangerous.

I don't care anymore.

We need to figure out who did this to our sisters.

We will.

Thank you all for coming on such short notice.

We have some news that's not very easy to share.

Kiki Nails was killed outside of her home in a robbery last night.

As you all know, she left the squad earlier this year.

But she was still a part of our family.

We'll miss her dearly.

If you have any questions, we're here to help.

Yeah.

Why are they so sure that it was a robbery?

That's what the police are telling us. We have no reason to think otherwise.

Um, the funeral will be in a couple days.

We'll pass along the info when we get it.

That's all, ladies.

See you at practice in the morning.

You have to kill her.

She could have ruined everything we've built.

Don't forget, you're involved in this too.

She's way more than I signed up for.

I didn't like Maisie asking that question in the gym today either.

I thought getting rid of Kiki would have just shut her up.

She's tougher than I thought.

So what are you going to do?

Get rid of her.

No way.

Relax. Not like that. I pulled her class schedule.

Didn't you take English last year?

Yeah.

All essays?

One every two weeks. And everyone knows Mr. Taylor hasn't changed his curriculum

since his donate.

That's perfect.

We'll go the plagiarism route.

It's clean.

He'll get her kicked out of school. Her credibility will be so shot, no one will

ever believe her. Okay.

Taylor uses EssayScan. It's a software to catch cheaters. He nailed a couple

guys in my class last year.

You remember those football players?

Yeah. Yeah, I do.

I'll handle this one, okay?

I'll wait for Taylor to leave his office, then I'll make the switch.

We've got to protect this site.

I'm taking it down until this all blows over.

Okay, championship game is this weekend, and I want to see more of what I just

saw. Nice.

Oh.

Hi.

Huh?

The dean wants to see you in his office.

His assistant will take you. Why?

I'll let the dean tell you.

I thought I heard someone.

Why did you get home so early?

Mom, I've got to talk to you about something.

Everything okay?

No, I just got suspended.

What? They said I plagiarized my English lit paper.

You would never do something like that. No, I know.

I was framed.

You were framed?

I think it has something to do with Amelia.

Mom, I've got to talk to you. There are some things you need to know.

This is going to devastate your father.

I wasn't going to tell you guys.

And then just so much happens. I couldn't keep it a secret anymore. I'm

I can't believe that she was... It felt like someone had to grieve.

Mom,

um... I don't think she killed herself.

I don't understand.

What if someone at the campground operation got her killed?

They said it was suicide.

The police said it was suicide.

They barely investigated, you know that.

You remember that guy?

In the neighborhood, the one with the lost dog?

Yeah.

I think he was sending me a message through you to stop talking about

death. I don't know.

I think about it. By screwing with Dad, they knew they would mess up my TV

appearance. And then totally throw me off my game.

Trevor is messing with me. He's planning my epic fail.

He drugged me.

Okay.

You keep this to yourself.

Your dad's already on the verge. I don't know what he's going to do when he

hears.

You're going to tell him?

Yeah.

I'm going to tell him.

Worked like a charm. Her credibility is shot. No one will ever take her

seriously again.

Can we go back online with this site now?

Not yet. It's too risky.

We're losing thousands of dollars every day.

You don't think I know that?

Unless you're okay with his and her prison cells, we've got to lay low.

I love you too.

What does she want?

My kid's sick.

I'll have to call a doctor.

You don't get it.

I can't just ignore my family.

I gotta go.

I need your help. Listen, I can't be involved in this anymore.

No, please, please.

You are suspended, Macy. I know, but somebody set me up.

So, talk to you about that, girls. I don't know anything.

Oh, you're the only one that I trust.

Please, just one question, that's it.

Okay.

Okay.

Someone else was in this photo with Ailey and Kiki, but it was corrupt.

Do you know who it was?

No idea.

Could have been any one of the cheerleaders.

Amelia and Kiki were really close. They probably just wanted a picture of the

two of them.

Or maybe it was someone who knows more about this camera site.

I'm really sorry for everything that you're going through. I really am,

gotta get to practice.

Sorry.

Lisa.

Whoever got me suspended had to have access to Mr. Taylor's.

And whoever got me bugged had to be at the TV studio that morning.

So, maybe a cheerleader. Yeah, probably. But I can't imagine a cheerleader is

running this thing by herself.

And the minute I start asking the squad about it... Um... We saw what happened

to Kiki and Amelia, so... What about your cheer coach?

Can I see help?

I don't think she'll believe anything I have to say at this point. She thinks

I'm a total screw -up.

Hey, how are you doing?

Like, really doing?

Not good.

He was right there.

And I couldn't save her.

I should have tried harder to get her to leave the house. No, no, no. She's a

grown woman. There was nothing you could have said that would make her leave

that room that night.

I think, in her own way, she was trying to save you from whatever she got

tangled up in.

I think she was always more concerned about everyone else than herself.

Hey, Mom.

Hey.

What's wrong?

Your father didn't come home last night.

What?

Yeah, after I told him about Amelia, he stormed out.

I could be lying in a ditch somewhere for all I know. Oh, my God.

I'm so sorry this is all my fault. I should have never said anything.

No.

We needed to know.

Too many unanswered questions around Amelia's death, so... Yeah.

Like, what if she was trying to expose the cam girl site, but then someone

wouldn't let her do it? Stop it already.

Look, I know you don't want to hear it, but I'm not just going to let it go.

Where are you going?

I'm just going to sit around. I'll find dad myself.

Lazy. I'll check his usual spots. Don't leave.

Dad?

Thank God. Where were you last night?

She got a room.

Okay.

How could Amelia do that?

Honestly, I don't know.

Someone or something must have pushed her into it, I guess.

Dad, do you know something?

Mother, I never told you this.

I had a spell of bad performing alone.

Faults.

I lost my job.

and started drinking again.

Of course, I found a new job eventually, but we were really struggling for a

while. Oh.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because you were doing so good in California with your scholarship.

I knew I couldn't afford Amelia's tuition, and she was living at home with

and so I had to be honest with her, but we all agreed not to tell you.

So you think.

I did what she did because... Because of me.

Yeah. No, Dad.

No.

I'm so ramped up in my own problems that when she told me she was earning money

from cheerleading, I just believed her.

That was her choice.

She could have gotten a job. She could have gotten a loan.

That was her choice. It was for my little girl.

I know.

That's my little puppy.

Dad. You remember when I used to call her that?

Yeah.

Always get whatever she wants with that look.

Yeah.

Dad,

I need to go home.

And you are going to come with me. Come on.

Lisa? Why would she lie to me?

What are you doing? I knew it was you in that picture.

The one with my sister?

What?

Where's the necklace?

The necklace?

It's yours?

I... Fine, it was me. Why would you lie to me? I don't know, I just... I forgot

we took it. Why are you so reluctant to helping me?

I just want to be left out of this. And you will be if you just tell me what's

going on.

She died because of this. You know that, right?

She's gone.

So if you cared about her at all, then you would help me.

Fine.

Just keep my name out of it. Okay, you have my word.

owns the site.

And Ella curts the girls.

Oh, my God.

She's sleeping with him, too.

Why wouldn't you tell me any of this?

Because my life would have been ruined if it ever got out that I was talking

about this.

Rob Thornton is a powerful person at Vanderton.

Is anybody else involved?

I think there's another guy that's working with him.

Amelia mentioned him before she died, but I just... I can't remember his name.

She confided in me about everything. I told you we were close.

Well, if you were so close, then why would she crop you out of that photo?

Because I told her to stop camcrawling.

She didn't like that.

You have to know I cared about her so much. Let me see.

Do you think that Mr. Thornton killed her?

Or that other guy?

Maybe.

She was thinking of getting out.

But I think Amelia had more problems than you realized.

Do you still think she killed herself?

Look, I don't know.

But, hey, the sooner you realize that she had issues, the sooner you can move

on, Macy.

Besides, if Thornton did actually do it, I doubt they'll believe you over him.

Hey, Macy. Did you see the photo?

Yeah. It's a nice house.

Mm -hmm.

So this is how an athletic director lives.

Some people are never satisfied with what they have.

I guess the norm I can dream is to cheat, steal, and lie.

And take advantage of young women he's supposed to be guiding through the

athletic program.

Just so he can have all this.

We're good again, Max.

I love him.

Hey, honey, how goes?

Better. Um, but there is something I want to talk to you both about.

Okay.

Um, I found out who owns the cam girl site.

It's big, like, really big.

Who is it?

The Vanderkin Athletic Director.

Rob Thornton?

That lying jerk.

He was at Amelia's funeral.

I can't believe this. Well, we have to tell the president of the college we

can't let Thorne get away with this. Oh, and say what?

That we think his athletic director is running a cam girl site that has been

taken down and likely untraceable?

Or that we think he's involved in the murders of Amelia and Kiki? I mean, we

have no proof.

Can we go to the police?

Well, I think it's going to be the same story.

Unless... Wait, all of that money from the site, that has to be going

right? Yeah.

Yeah, surely it's not to Uncle Sam.

Right. So if we can track down where his money's going, then maybe we can report

Mr. Thornton to the feds. I mean, it'll at least expose who he really is.

Do you think he really killed Amelia Kiki?

Him or his accomplice?

Uh, the guy that got into a fight with you at the bar. I think he works for

His name would be on the arrest report. I have that right here.

Brian Killian. I even have his date of birth and his address.

I'm going to look into both of these guys' financials.

See what I can dig up at work.

Okay.

What?

What? We have some good news.

Your father and I, we had a long talk last night.

And, um... I want a real fresh start.

And I knew that I was going to need some help getting there.

So I'm checking into rehab on Sunday.

Dad! Oh, my God, that's awesome.

It was the best thing for everyone.

I feel like I finally have my dad back.

It's you?

Oh.

I think we should stop seeing each other for a while.

Why?

Why?

Because I could lose everything if I get caught sleeping with a student. On top

of everything else.

You haven't told anyone about us, right?

No, of course not.

You're always saying you want me all to yourself.

Pressuring me to leave my wife.

So now loving you and wanting a future with you is pressuring you?

I have a wife.

This is all too much right now.

I need time to think.

Hey. Hey.

Well, good news.

I was able to track down their banking information through their mortgages.

Killian was easy. Turns out he's with my bank. I tracked the money to a shell

account in the Caymans.

Over $300 ,000.

So I called in a favor for my buddy over at Thornton's Bank.

Over 600 ,000, also in the Caymans.

So I reported it to my friend at the IRS.

I think they're going to move pretty quick.

Amazing, Dad.

Nothing the IRS likes more than catching a cheater hiding under a rock.

Are they going to arrest them? No doubt.

My friend took one look at his bank records for the past few years. They

paid a penny on any of that extra cash.

Of course they haven't. And off the backs of those girls, too. Hopefully

enough for the, you know, to make the police want to look into their tests.

I'm kind of worried it won't be.

So what are we going to do?

Find Rob's weakness.

Ella, I need to talk.

Only for an appointment. I know about everything.

The Camgirl site, the murders of Amelia and Kiki, and I know you're involved in

it too.

I don't know what you're talking about.

The authorities already know about Rob and Brian. It's over.

Can't be true. You're lying.

We found evidence on their offshore accounts.

It's only a matter of time. There's no way.

If you go to the police and do the right thing, then you can probably cut a deal

before you get arrested, too. I can't. I... Well, if you don't do it, then I

will.

It's your choice.

There are some things I know about.

Bad things.

You owe it to my sister to murder her behind bars. I don't know anything about

your sister's death.

I don't believe you.

Maisie, I swear I don't know.

I'm sorry, I have to go.

I'm cleaning out my locker.

Such high hopes for you.

What happened?

There's a lot of things that are not right about this place.

Like what?

I can't tell you.

Can I just ask you one thing?

Mm -hmm.

Did my sister really have an eating disorder?

No. I admit, I told her to lose some weight.

She told me where to go, if you know what I mean.

Your sister was one of the toughest girls I knew.

And why was everybody so convinced that she took her own life?

Because that's what the police told us.

You don't believe she committed suicide, do you?

I had my job.

Wow.

That is the first honest thing I have heard in this place.

Well, uh, good luck at the game today.

It's gonna be epic.

Cool spirit like Vanderton.

I'm a little worried.

Maybe she didn't come through. Everything we've accomplished. The

here is matched by no other college.

They're here.

Finally. I have a big announcement to make.

The Vanderton cheer squad has qualified.

For tax evasion, money laundering, trafficking, and your complicity in the

murder of Miss Kiki Nels.

No, no. You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

Maybe that's what we're with.

Hey, hey.

You did the right thing.

Where is she going?

I don't understand. Why didn't they arrest him for Amelia's murder, too?

Ella only ratted him out for a kid case.

Makes no sense.

He had to have been involved, right?

They just arrested Brian Killian on the I -95.

So maybe they got him for that.

I just hope they reopen Amelia's investigation.

I mean, they have to, right?

Call for us.

Can I meet you guys in a moment?

Yeah, yeah.

We'll meet you in the car. Okay.

Hey.

Hey.

I see you're right about Thornton.

He was more evil than I thought he was.

Sorry I was right about Amelia, though.

I didn't want to be.

Right about what?

That she killed herself that night.

They found her body in the morning.

The police never publicly said when she was killed.

I just sinned.

You know, the only reason you would know that she died that night was if you

were there.

Or if you knew she was there.

I know you're hiding something.

I've got to find out one way or another. Just help me.

All I know is that your sister had an eating disorder and that she couldn't

with the pressure. No, I talked to Coach Hayes.

After you told me that and she said Amelia was coping just fine, why are you

lying to me? That's what I was told.

I think you made it up.

I think you wanted me and everyone else to believe that Amelia really did take

her own life.

She made a mistake becoming a cam girl.

And that's because of some family stuff, but she was not as broken as you made

her seem. She was.

What are you hiding?

What else would you lie about being in that picture with her? Just tell me the

truth. I couldn't let her ruin us.

I couldn't let her ruin me.

How?

She was going to expose the cam girl's site.

She was getting out and wanted to save everyone.

Why would that even matter, though? I mean, you weren't even involved.

Gandalf would have made national headlines.

We all would have looked like whores.

Just because I didn't take my clothes off doesn't mean I wouldn't have been

affected by this.

Just being attached to the squad would have affected my chances of getting into

med school.

This would have followed me forever, Macy.

She didn't believe you, did she?

I asked her to meet me on the roof.

This is where the cheerleaders go sometimes to chill out and talk in

I begged her not to say anything.

I told her that she should just quit the squad and the site and move on.

What did she say?

That she made up her mind.

That she'd tell everyone that I wasn't a part of it. But that doesn't matter,

Macy. I got so mad.

And she just... She just fell.

It was an accident. Please, Macy.

Please. You have to believe me.

I'm so sorry.

I regretted it the moment it happened.

Sorry. No,

we have to go to the police.

We have to tell them everything.

You're going to be back before you know it.

90 days.

And then I'll be a whole new man.

And we're just a phone call away.

Okay, then.

Let's do this.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Call me when you're on the way. I will.

Take care of yourself.

See you soon. I'll see you soon.

Are you okay?

I don't think.

Honestly, I can't thank you enough. I don't know what I would have done

you for all this.

Come on.

We make a great team. Yeah, we do. Best team.

I think Amelia and Kiki would have been really proud.

Yeah. You know, Kiki always said that everything happens for a reason.

Yeah. And it's kind of true.

In all this, we found each other.

Yeah, that is true.

Do you think that they ever thought we'd end up together?

But I sure do.
