Original subtitles

[Lucy] Hey, you haven't heard from Stephen today, have you?

Have you been talking to him again?

He ruined your life sophomore year. Do you not remember that?

You barely came back from that.

I lied about being sexually assaulted last semester.

I think you should put it on tape.

[Lucy] Why are you doing this?

- So, how's Bree? Is she nervous? - She's excited you're here.

[Mary] It's just been so special

having her pop back into my life like this.

[Bree] Do you know that she's 17?

Why don't you leave him?

It's better to be with someone who loves you a little more than you love them.

- Feel any better? - I feel like he needs to be stopped.

I'm Bree's mom, Mary.

Nice to meet you.

Pippa, Lucy said that I assaulted you?

Chris cornered me, and he thinks what he did is fine.

Every single time you try to make something better,

you end up making it so much fucking worse.

- I'm gonna break up with Pippa. - I'm breaking up with Evan, too.

I feel like this could be something good.

- So you're not in love with me? - No.

It hasn't felt like you've been that interested in me for a while now.

- I got into Yale Law. - I'll go somewhere else.

You're upset because I don't want to go to the same law school as Stephen?

Your whole life still somehow revolves around him,

but you won't even consider me.

I th-- I think maybe we shouldn't do this anymore.

- Hey, are you okay? - [crying] No.

- You don't want me anymore. - No, no, Pippa.

- We broke up. - I know.

Just for tonight, please.

Why are you so scared of that guy Stephen?

- Why do you think I'm scared? - Hey, Lucy!

[Alex] Because I know what that looks like.

[Lucy] Yeah, I'm not okay. I'm just confused.

And nervous all the time.

Do you know where you are right now?

I can't handle this anymore, Stephen.

I can't. Just release it.

[Stephen] Take it.

How do I know you didn't make another copy?

You can believe me or not, but I didn't.

[Lucy] Stephen had this tape of me,

and he's been holding it over me for weeks.

- What was it? - Doesn't matter. He gave it back to me.

He's just gonna keep getting away with all this

because no one ever does anything to actually fucking stop him.

I forgot to pee after having sex last night.

Who did you have sex with?

- Wrigley, obviously. - Right.

I kind of just want to hide out here.

- I don't want to shut you out anymore. - Okay.

[Stephen] [over phone] Last summer, when you cheated on Bree,

that was with Lucy.

That's what you're saying? That you and Lucy had sex?

[Evan] [over phone] Yeah, I-I'm so sorry, man.

Hey, what's up?

I'm a terrible person.

Shit.

Oh.

- Hey. - Sorry.

- No, that's okay. - I didn't mean to barge in.

Evan said I could stay in here.

Shit, sorry. I-I made it all smoky.

No, it's okay. There are, like, ten other bedrooms.

I can find another.

Well, don't go yet.

I just-- I-I just mean you don't have to rush out.

Okay.

Aren't you, uh, supposed to not be a smoker anymore?

Yeah.

Don't tell on me.

I won't.

Did you have a good time today?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's always good to see everyone.

Yeah. [chuckles]

Did you have a good time?

Yeah.

No, not really. No.

I-I don't know any of these people.

They're all Evan's parents' friends.

I wasn't in charge of the guest list,

even though it is...

my engagement party.

Evan's mom is sort of a planner.

The wedding isn't for months, and she's already doing seating charts.

Right.

I mean, you could always just not do it.

Piss everyone off. Date me instead.

Why would you say that?

I was joking. I was joking.

Why would you joke about that?

I'm sorry. I, uh...

I don't know. I'm sorry.

We've never talked about it.

Don't you think that's a little fucked up?

- What's there to even say? - Anything!

Literally any conversation.

It's been six years, and you've never acknowledged that it happened.

It's not like we had sex or anything.

So? We said a lot of pretty big things to each other.

Things you didn't mean.

I did, actually, but okay.

Really? You meant it? You meant what you said?

Because you told me you wouldn't fuck me over

and then you immediately slept with Pippa.

Oh, my God! I was fucking 22 years old. I was an idiot and she was sad.

That's such a bad excuse.

I've never fucked anyone just because they were sad.

I'm sure that's not true.

I just mean that everyone has fucked someone because they were sad.

It's called sympathy sex.

Don't say funny things.

[groans]

[sniffles]

Are you happy?

I'm trying to be.

Why are you doing this right now?

Why did you just tell me not to leave?

I could be asleep in another room by now.

I just got engaged.

And that's why I'm doing this now. That's literally the reason.

Why didn't you give me a second chance?

I deserved another chance.

I know that everyone thinks I'm messy, and I am.

I drink way too much.

I-I-I, I drink more than I should, but I'm not--

I'm not messy like the rest of this group is.

I don't hurt anyone. I keep my mess contained.

I don't make it anyone else's. I'm not a fucking dick.

I'm not mean, and I think you made a mistake shutting me out.

I think it was fucking dumb.

Um...

[sighs]

I'm sorry. I'm-- [sniffles]

I'm really confused right now.

No, I'm-- I-- It's okay. I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to call you dumb.

Just...

your choices.

I'm not sure what I'm doing.

I mean, it's not like I stopped thinking about you.

Lucy?

Hi.

Hey, h-how are you?

Um...

I've had a rough 48 hours, but I'll be fine.

Uh, you want to sit down for a second, actually?

Stephen-- Stephen gave me the tape back.

He just gave it back to you?

Kind of, yeah.

That's good.

That must be a relief.

It is. Yeah.

You must have caught him in a good mood.

He's got the whole Yale ceremony today.

Wait, I-I heard you got in too.

That's-- That's amazing.

Thanks.

But I'm not going.

What, because of him?

Yeah, it's just not worth it.

But I'm going to Stanford instead,

which is just as good.

Diana...

I'm-- I'm so sorry you had to change your plans because of him.

That's really fucking unfair.

Sorry. Um...

No, it's o-- it's okay.

No, I'm-- I'm sorry. That's...

That's super embarrassing. Um...

God, it's-- It's been a long couple of days.

Um, I feel a little crazy.

You don't have to explain.

He's been making me question my sanity for the past two years.

I should tell you something.

I know you were telling the truth about Macy.

Not that anything's gonna happen because of it.

But yeah.

If that means anything.

It does.

And I fucking hate that there are no consequences for him, ever.

That's how it is for some people.

Anyways, um, I should go.

I'm glad you're okay.

Thanks.

Yeah, you too.

Hey.

What's going on?

Uh, I just-- I need you to come with me.

I'll explain in a minute. Just come.

Please.

What is this?

We need to talk, Bree.

[scoffs]

No. I-I don't think so.

Bree, I think this is important.

I don't want you to get in trouble with your school.

Why would I get in trouble?

We just want to help you, Bree. All right? We're all worried about you.

What the fuck did you tell her?

I spoke to your mother last night,

and I told her everything that's been going on.

Your fixation with my husband and the ongoing harassment.

This is a fucking joke, right?

Bree, we're not trying to scare you.

My husband is much too patient.

Listen, Bree, I understand that crushes can happen.

- Crushes? - I mean, it's actually quite common.

When I was at Oxford, a similar thing happened.

No, he slept with me. We had a whole relationship.

He-- He took me to this hotel. He told me that he loved me.

- Honey. - [Marianne] This has gone too far now.

Showing up at our house in the middle of the night?

Sending him photos he didn't ask for?

And we know you vandalized his car last semester,

which we didn't want to report, but we will if we have to.

Why do you believe them over me?

This is all really confusing.

Oliver, please, please don't do this.

Please, just tell her the truth.

You've created a sort of fantasy in your head, Bree.

- [laughs] - And now you've involved Amanda.

Amanda, please, tell her what you told us.

Um, she kind of started stalking me.

She accused me of having a relationship with Professor Knight,

even though I told her it wasn't true.

They're making you do this.

It never happened.

It's okay, Amanda.

It's all right, thank you.

Look at what you're doing to everyone!

Marianne, please.

What proof do you have, Bree?

I have text messages from him.

I have texts.

Text messages that show you sending him photos

he never responded to.

A couple of times he asked you to meet him at his office

because he was trying to deal with the situation himself.

He's never sent you anything inappropriate, Bree.

And I would be happy to show anyone our messages.

Because he's done this before.

He knows not to put anything in writing.

And let me tell you something. This--

This does not end well for you either.

- Don't speak to her like that. - Fuck you!

- [Mary] Bree! - You're the most

- because you actually know better! - [Mary] Bree, stop it.

[Marianne] We don't want to go to the administration

'cause something like this will impact your scholarship,

- and we don't want to do that. - [groans]

The vandalism alone would be grounds for expulsion,

so listen to me, Bree.

The threats and the accusations

have to stop.

Bree, this has been very frightening for us.

[♪ dramatic music playing]

Sorry.

Bree!

Bree, stop. Slow down.

- Why didn't you defend me in there? - Defend you?

I'm trying to stop you from making a mess for yourself.

But you don't believe me.

Look, babe, I understand, okay?

Sometimes we like to make up stories that sound nice.

I did the same thing when I was your age, okay?

I always had these big fantasies going,

but this is just a nice couple, okay?

I really think if you leave them alone, they're not gonna get you in trouble.

I'm not making it up.

I-- Why would they bring me here?

I don't understand. That wouldn't make sense.

They brought you here to prove a point.

That if I came forward and I told the truth,

that nobody would believe me, not even my own mother.

I just want you to be better than I was.

I will be.

It was after the Hawaiian party.

Mm.

No, I was drunk.

Shit, Lucy.

No, no, no. That is not the same thing. They're not equal things.

But you said Wrigley's your best friend.

Yeah, but he's a boy. It's different. We don't do that to other girls.

can single-handedly create so much disaster for themselves.

I think we need to make sure she's okay.

I don't even know where she is.

She's-- She's not in her room and the door is locked.

No, that doesn't mean she's not in there.

I'm gonna get the R.A.

- [knock on door] - [R.A.] Hey, Lucy?

If you're in there, we need you to say something.

Okay, Lucy, I'm gonna have to unlock the door now.

[lock tumbles]

Hey, Lucy.

[sighs]

All right, Lucy.

I'm gonna need you to clean yourself up

and then come with me down to the dean's office, okay?

Okay.

[dean] The video circulated very quickly. I've been inundated with calls.

Chris's parents are understandably upset.

Lying about sexual assault is very serious.

You have done damage to Chris's reputation

and to the reputation of Baird.

That, coupled with your behavior over the last few days,

witnessed by multiple students,

it's very alarming.

Baird students need to feel that they are in a protected environment.

That is part of the ethos of our institution.

So for the well-being of the rest of the student body,

we are going to have to ask you to leave.

To terminate your studies here.

Your mother has been notified. She's on her way to come and get you.

[softly] Okay.

Thank you.

Lucy, do you understand what I'm saying to you?

[sniffles] Yes.

Yeah, I think, um...

Yeah, I think I'd like to go home for a little bit.

And-- And I'm-- I'm gonna be away next semester.

I'm going abroad for the writing program, so...

[sniffles]

Lucy, that's a Baird program.

You will not be going abroad

because you will no longer be a student here.

Oh.

Okay.

You can go to your room now and pack up your things.

Your R.A. will help you.

Okay, thank you.

- Hey. - Hey.

Are you okay?

They expelled me.

Wait, no, they can expel you for this? That's not fair.

- It's okay. - Hey, I'm sorry, girls.

I need her to clear out her room.

Her mom's gonna be here soon.

[♪ somber music playing]

I love you.

[sniffles]

This is all really fucked up, but I love you, and...

I'm sorry.

I hate this.

Okay, Lucy. Let's go.

This is too much. She doesn't deserve this.

She's gonna be okay. Yeah.

[Bree] Yeah.

[Bree breathing heavily]

[knock on door]

Hey.

Thanks for finally texting me back.

You okay?

Let's talk.

I'm gonna go on a walk. I need some air.

[Bree sighs heavily]

Shut the door.

Look, I'm not sure what's going on.

You come over, we were good, and then you...

You disappear for a day.

Yeah, um...

I'm going to ask you a question,

and if you tell me the truth,

then we can get past it, okay?

We can move forward.

But if you lie to me,

I'm never speaking to you again.

Did you have sex with Lucy last year?

Yes.

When I was at your place, I saw a photo on Facebook

of you and Lucy after the Hawaiian party.

And then I looked through your text messages.

I'm so sorry, Bree. I'm so sorry. I-I...

I know.

Lucy was just expelled...

because of that tape.

Are you serious?

Yeah.

And as mad as I am at her,

she can't take anymore.

She's been punished enough.

So you and I,

we're not telling anyone about this.

No one.

Not even Lucy.

Okay?

Okay.

What-- What are you saying about us?

Do you still want to be with me?

[sighs]

Yeah.

I do.

Why are you forgiving me?

Because you love me.

[cell phone vibrates]

Yeah, hello?

[woman] [over phone] May I speak with Stephen DeMarco?

- This is Stephen. - Hi, there.

I'm Karah from Yale Admissions.

Oh, hey!

Unfortunately, I'm calling to inform you

that your acceptance to Yale Law has been rescinded.

This a joke? Who is this?

We received information about behavior that goes against our code of conduct,

and after some investigation into this matter,

we will no longer be able to offer you a place at our school.

No, wait, that doesn't make any sense. You already accepted me.

We reserve the right to rescind the acceptance of any student

should their behavior go against our code of conduct.

Your code of--

What exactly do you think I did?

We've been informed of severe online harassment

of students at your current university,

including distribution of pornographic material.

[♪ tense music playing]

Okay, this is a mistake.

Can you, um, tell me who reported this, please?

I'm not able to disclose that.

No. Can you--

Who the fuck reported this?

Hey!

Who reported this?

[♪ dramatic music playing]

- [Evan] Oh. - Hey.

Hey, dude.

Are you here for Pippa?

Yeah.

She went out for a bit.

We broke up.

I was surprised to hear that.

Seemed like everything was good when she came home yesterday.

[sighs]

But I'll let her know that you stopped by.

[Diana] Lucy?

Uh, I heard about what happened.

I'm so sorry.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm-- I'm going home.

I know.

Uh, m-my mom's gonna--

Gonna be here soon. I don't--

I don't even know how I'm gonna pack all this stuff up. Um...

Let me help you.

Everyone hates me.

Listen to me.

You're gonna come back from this.

[chuckles softly]

I know right now it seems like the end of the world,

but it's gonna get better.

It's gonna be really bad for a while.

But eventually, it will get better.

And this will just be something that happened once,

that you don't like thinking about.

Oh, you got a Yale phone case.

She has so much Yale memorabilia. It's embarrassing.

I'm not embarrassed.

[chuckles]

- Say, "Cheese." - Cheese.

[laughing]

Okay, I have to stop.

- Okay. - I have to stop.

- My feet are officially numb. - Okay.

I love you so much.

You know that, right?

[laughing] Yeah.

Yeah, I know that.

And I really hope it wasn't too stressful being my bridesmaid.

No.

No, honestly, this--

This weekend's been weirdly necessary for me.

It just feels like I've gotten... Gotten closure on a lot of things.

- Good. - Yeah.

Can we go, please? I'm tired.

No, I'm not ready.

How? It's three in the morning.

Okay, you-- You go.

[scoffs]

Why, so you can sit here and flirt with your ex-girlfriend?

I don't need to flirt with her. I fucked her this morning.

Look, the only reason we got together in the first place was to piss Lucy off,

but that's not a solid foundation.

So, yeah, I think you should go. And I think we should break up.

Oh, you are such a fucking asshole!

Fuck off... and fuck you.

- [ring clatters] - Asshole.

I am so glad that is not your life.

[laughs] Yeah.

Okay, I'm gonna go find my husband.

[giggling] Okay.

[♪ "Float On" by Modest Mouse playing]

Hi, Bree.

- Jesus. - No, no, no. All good.

I just had to tell you, you are incredible.

I completely underestimated you.

What are you talking about?

How long have you known?

About Lucy and Evan?

Because I have been racking my brain all day

trying to figure out how you didn't have more of a reaction

to that message I sent you, but it's because you already knew.

What are you even trying to do, Stephen?

Nothing.

Wrigley looks really sad today.

Doesn't he?

Go home, Stephen.

It didn't work.

You tried to ruin the day, but you failed.

You tried to get the attention you wanted. You're not getting it.

You know, sometimes I think back to everything that happened in college.

Everything that you did to ruin Lucy's life sophomore year.

God, getting her expelled?

The one good thing,

the one silver lining is that she got away from you,

and she will never touch you ever again.

Oh, my God.

You released the tape, didn't you?

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

Because I didn't release it,

and I never understood who else could have hated her that much.

But if you found out about her and Evan...

You need to walk away from me right now.

Literally right now.

Walk away.

Accept that you lost.

Mm-hmm.

[emcee] Okay, y'all. This is the last song of the night.

And then we've got to wrap this up.

Excuse me.

Before we, uh, close out here, you mind if I say one more thing?

Thank you.

Thank you. Hi.

Hi, guys.

Before we wrap up the night here, I just wanted to say one last thing.

First of all, Evan.

I fuckin' hate you.

[laughs]

I cannot stand you.

Like, not in a joking way. I've been sick of you for years.

I've just been waiting for the right moment I could finally say something.

I'm surprised this wedding actually happened,

given that you fucked Lucy back in college and then you both lied to Bree about it.

That wasn't very nice, either of you.

- [guests murmuring] - It's okay.

But Bree.

Bree, this little angel in white over here.

She actually surprised me because she's known about it for years

and she's just been holding it in.

That's creepy, kind of creepy behavior, right?

But honestly, uh, whatever.

I don't really understand female friendships.

Speaking of Lucy, she and I fucked this morning.

Even though I'm sure she's been very adamant about how over me she is.

I'm sure it's all you girls were talking about back in the bridesmaid suite.

Right? Makes sense.

She's blamed me since college for releasing this confession tape

that got her expelled.

Kind of had to be there, but if you know, you know.

But I didn't release it.

[gasps]

I'm pretty sure Bree did.

[guests murmuring]

Lucy...

I wasn't the one that ruined your life.

That was all her.

Oh, Bree and Wrigley have been fucking for months.

So cheers to love, cheers to friendships, and in case any of this was unclear,

just to summarize, Lucy and Evan fucked in college.

Lucy and I fucked this morning.

Bree and Wrigley have been fucking for months.

[♪ "Toxic" by Britney Spears playing]

- No, no. - All right. Here you go.

- You evil motherfucker. - [Evan] What the fuck is he talking about?

- You and Wrigley? - You're fucking sociopath!

I'm gonna fucking kill you.

- Is this true? Bree, talk to me! - He's crazy.

Give me your fucking phone. Let me see your fucking phone.

- He's crazy. - No, no, give me your fucking phone!

- [Bree] Get out of here! - Oh! Whoa!

Get the fuck out of here,

you stupid, stupid man!

Whoa! Hey!

Wrigley.

Move, Pippa. Come here. Hey.

You and Bree fucking? Huh?

Yeah.

What the fuck? You slimy, fucking rat!

[Bree] Get out of here, Stephen!

- Get a fucking therapist! - [laughing]

- Fuck you! - Bree, we need to talk right now.

Did you release the tape?

Lucy, this was years ago.

I-I-I don't understand. How-- How could you do that?

It was impulsive and insane,

and I've regretted it for six years.

Hey, here's the thing.

I'm in physical danger if I don't get out of here like right now.

So I'm gonna pull the car out front. You coming with me?

You've got to be fucking kidding me.

No, you're obviously not going with him.

Why don't you not speak for her,

seeing as how you're the one that ruined her life?

Here's the thing.

None of these people are gonna respect you again after today.

So I'm sort of all you got left.

No, see? That's not true.

You and I, we can work our shit out, okay?

But if you leave here with him, it's over.

Oh, my God, it's already over.

Look at you two. This isn't healthy.

You're never coming back from this.

Anyway, see you outside? Hopefully.

Shit.

- Lucy. - It feels like everything's spinning.

He doesn't care about you. He cares about winning.

And if you can't see that, then I can't fucking help you.

But this is your last chance

to make a decision that isn't completely embarrassing.

[Evan] Do you have something to say to me?

Do you feel good about yourself? Huh? You feel good about your fucking self?

You're supposed to be my best friend!

You're supposed to be my best fucking friend!

Yo, fuck you, actually! You know what? Fuck you!

You know everything I've been through and you still did some shit like-- I...

[muffled] Hey, look at my fucking face!

[continues shouting indistinctly]

[♪ dramatic music playing]

Why do you want me to come with you?

Do you need me to give you a big speech

about how boring my life has been without you?

Because, it's been...

fine.

But come on.

It is always more fun with you and me.

You just want to win, though.

It's like college all over again.

You just want me to choose you over everybody else,

and then once you have me, you're gonna fuck me over.

Because-- Because that's who you are. You-- You can't help it.

Lucy, I just blew up my entire life.

My engagement, all my oldest friendships.

If I fuck you over, I don't have anything. Why would I do that?

But I hate you.

[scoffs]

[starts ignition]

I need to get gas.

Okay.

Should I grab us some coffees?

Yeah.

Sure.

Hi.

Thank you.
