You took the pictures

and you put my phone number on it?

[ Camera shutter clicking ]

[ Chuckles ]

I've been getting disgusting text messages

and voicemails all day.

I had to turn my phone off.

This wasn't me, okay?

Maybe it was one of the guys in the house of something.

I-I have no idea who did this.

You are sick and vindictive.

I'm going to the Disciplinary Board.

No. No. Laura, stop!

Give me the pass code to your phone

so I can delete all the pictures... No!

...or get ready to buy some rice.

I understand that you are pissed off,

but you are seriously over the line with this.

No. I'm not.

Hey. Where have you been?

I thought we were gonna watch a movie.

I'm sorry.

I was at Kappa Tau Pi.

Yeah.

Please tell me you didn't confront Ben

about the photos in front of people.

I told you not to do that.

You have to play it off like you don't care.

And besides, what if,

by some miniscule chance, it wasn't him?

Jess, it was him.

Who else would it have been?

I don't know.

Maybe he left his phone out

or stayed logged into his computer or something.

No. It was him.

And I docare.

He can't just get away with this.

I mean, it used to be, you broke up with someone

and you just move on.

Now you break up with someone, and they have to destroy you.

He's clearly psycho.

Just be glad you're not with him anymore.

[ Sighs ]

I'll tell you what.

You go get changed

and I'll make us popcorn with extra butter

and we'll watch "Dateline" and rate guys on Tinder.

Sound fun?

Yeah.

What is this?

Your dad's actually marrying her?

Yup.

Ugh.

And guess who's the maid of honor.

You?

Just when you think life can't get any worse.

I thought you guys didn't even get along.

Why would she ask you?

We're civil, and she's nice enough.

It's just hard getting behind your dad

who's marrying somebody 20 years younger than him.

Ugh.

So, when is the big shindig?

Wait. The 14th. That's during spring break.

Yup.

So, you're not gonna be here?

No.

That sucks.

I was really looking forward to partying with you,

especially now that you're single.

There are going to be so many beautiful men.

Yeah, well, I'm really over guys at the moment.

Hot girls?

No.

That's your thing.

That's super depressing.

No. You should fly back and meet up with us.

I want you to stop telling people

I did something that I didn't do.

How did you even get in here?

There was a girl who came in, so I snuck in behind her.

Look, I was thinking about who might have done this,

and it could be Melanie.

The new pledge?

Yeah. You're always saying that she's jealous of you.

She wouldn't have access to your phone.

She did...that night you dumped me.

You hooked up with her?

No. I'm just saying it could be her.

Get out now! I'm gonna call campus security!

No. I haven't even tried it on yet.

Well, I need you to do that soon.

The whole point of sending it out to you

was so you could take it to the tailor

to have it altered if you needed to.

Yeah. I'm sure it'll be fine.

And if it's too long,

I'll just ask Mona to take it up or something.

I thought I told you we fired Mona.

Why?

Caught her stealing.

It's a long story.

Anyway, we have a new housemaid.

Yeah.

He's this guy I dated for a few months.

I reported him to campus security this morning

for hacking my F.B. page.

I just broke up with him, so it must be revenge.

Honey, I don't mean to scare you,

but the last time something like this happened,

it was an employee who had just filed for divorce.

She ended up having to get a restraining order

against her husband.

He was ruthless,

and he tried to cause problems in every area of her life.

I urge you to take this e-mail to the police.

Thank you, Ms. Olson.

I -- I don't want you to think

that I'm the type of person

but that's not why we're getting married.

Why then? What's -- What's the connection?

I guess the best way for me to describe it is,

that's been able to do that.

Elise is excited to have you in this wedding.

All I ask is that you realize this is a big day for her.

maybe a little tighter here, too.

Do you have any kids?

But he passed away.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

It was very hard to lose him.

He was my life.

How did he die?

Car accident.

It was a hit-and-run. They never caught the guy.

That's so terrible.

My mother died in a car accident.

Both drivers were killed. Both were at fault.

It's terrible to lose someone you love,

especially without warning.

Yeah. Oh.

I sometimes think [Sighs] maybe it would have been better

if he'd been sick.

Then I might have prepared myself for it.

And then again, it's better for them if it's quick.

Well, I think both ways suck.

You're right. They do.

But in my son's case, I have faith

that someday, justice will be served.

I still got to finish this.

Um, I'm Laura.

You're Craig, right?

I'm Craig Carter, and I'm 18 years old.

Oh, yeah?

Well, I'm 17.

I'll be 18 in a few months.

Well, I'm 18 now.

Yeah.

So, what do you like to do for fun?

I like to draw.

What do you like to draw?

I draw comic books,

and I draw superheroes.

Oh.

And I draw cats.

[ Chuckling ] Wow.

And I draw planets.

[ Chuckling ] Oh, wow.

That's really -- That --

[ Chuckling ] That's a lot of stuff.

Did you draw this?

It's really, really good.

That's me,

and that's my cat, Jake...

Mm-hmm. ...who died.

I named him after my dad, who died, too.

I'm sorry.

Why? Did you fart?

[ Both laugh ]

No.

No. But I do really like your drawing.

It's really good.

Ah.

You can see that Jake

really liked to sit in the sunlight...

Aw. ...'cause he was cold all the time.

[ Laughs ]

I did that a few times...

sat with him at lunch over the course of a few weeks,

and then -- I don't know -- things got weird.

[ Chuckling ] Hey.

Craig.

Then that was it.

He never talked to me again after that.

That was about a week before we found out he killed himself.

Frisco's gone.

Oh, my God. I thought I closed that.

[ Sighs ] I-I have to go find her.

You want me to come with you?

-Yeah. Would you? -Sure.

Frisco!

Hello?

Kayla, it's Ben Steers.

Look, I-I -- Is Laura with you?

I've been trying to call her,

and I think she blocked my number.

And I've been trying to call Jessica, too,

but she hasn't been picking up.

She turned her phone off, jerk face,

'cause a million guys kept texting her, so...

So you know about the flyers she thinks I made.

Everyone in our house knows.

Well, listen -- I was asking around

and I talked to one of my fraternity brothers

and he said that he saw some woman with reddish hair

posting those flyers up.

What?

Look, Laura has been telling the campus police

that I have been hacking into her computer

and sending her weird stuff, and I have not.

Look, I have been put on disciplinary probation.

Okay, well, what else did he tell you about this woman?

That's it -- some older woman.

Will you please talk to her for me?

That's the woman she should be looking for

instead of trying to get me kicked out of school.

Ben just called me and said one of his friends saw

an older woman with reddish hair putting up those flyers of you.

Craig Carter. What is this?

You are sitting in the very room

where he did it, where he shot himself.

This used to be his bedroom.

Your son, the one that you said that --

that died in the car accident?

This was when he was 12.

[ Sighs ]

He won third prize in the science fair.

He was so proud that day.

What am I doing here?

You're here because you need to understand

how much he suffered because of you.

I never did anything to Craig.

I was always nice to Craig.

Other kids were mean, but I was always nice to him.

they're too drunk right now to even dial their phone.

And no one can track you on social media

because you deactivated your accounts.

Oh.

You think Matthew is coming for you?

Is that who you were talking about?

Well, I took care of that.

I texted him before we left the house.

You felt so bad about losing your dog,

you decided to drive up the coast for a few days alone.

[ Voice breaking ] What did you do to Frisco?

Where is she? What did you do to her?

Oh, she's long gone by now.

She's probably wandering

the streets of Huntington Heights...

unless she's been hit by a car or attacked by other dogs.

Honey, I did all of it. [ Sighs ]

The flyers [Sighs]

that cute little video on Ben's Facebook page,

the letter to your boss, the coffin -- all of it.

Why?

Because you took the only thing I had --

my son!

[ Voice breaking ] Please.

Please, you have to believe me.

I didn't do anything to Craig.

I ate lunch with him a few times

so he wouldn't have to eat alone.

That's it.

You did a lot more than that.

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

It's all right there -- the truth!

Please. Please. I don't know what's in there, but you --

I swear, you have to believe me.

I didn't do anything to him. -Shut up, Laura!

Shut up!

Please! I was never mean! -Shut up!

Shut up, Laura! Shut up!

Why did you even agree to go out on a date with him?

Was it because you felt pity?

Was it to be cruel?! Why?!

I have a date.

You look great.

Now, remember what I told you?

No holding hands on the first date,

no kissing on the first date,

tell her she looks beautiful,

pay for dinner and the movie,

Hey.

Uh, I'm just getting off work,

so I-I just got your text about driving up the coast alone.

I-I think that's weird because yesterday we talked

about getting together and looking for Frisco again.

Anyway, uh, I left my wallet in your bathroom, I think,

so I need to come by and get it.

Hopefully your housekeeper's there,

so that way, I-I can get in.

could you please call me?

I'd like to talk to you.

Thanks.

all this stuff about him asking me on a date

and me flaking on him.

Are you calling my son a liar?

No.

I just think, um,

that some of it was fantasy,

stuff he wanted to happen, but it never did.

Did Craig ever tell you how his father died?

No.

Jake died when Craig was 12.

[ Sighs ]

He was so close to his father.

Craig was such a smart kid.

He loved so deeply. [ Sniffles ]

Do you see that picture there of that lizard?

Craig found that thing in the park.

He nursed him back to health.

What happened to it?

The neighbor's cat got it.

Craig was outside one day when that cat walked up

and dropped that dead lizard right at his feet.

Can you imagine how cruel the universe has to be

for something like that to happen?

[ Sighs ]

[ Voice breaking ] His life was just

one long string of terrible things.

I did all that I could to make it good for him.

I -- I tried to shelter him

from all the meanness in the world,

the pain and the loss.

And no matter what I did,

he just kept having this terrible luck.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry about the terrible things that happened to Craig.

He was so sweet.

He certainly didn't deserve

the way you and those other kids treated him.

He didn't deserve that.

that she was gonna drive up the coast by herself,

but I left my wallet here, so I stopped by.

Both of the cars are here,
