Breaking Girl Code (2023) - full transcript

Thanks for

inviting me out last night,

but do you know how I got home?

I'm kind of freaking out

cause I woke up with bruises.

What happened?

Hi, you must be Miranda.

Okay, this way.

Have a seat.

- Sure.

- Mh-hmm.

Mmm.

I see you interned with Harper

Collins and Random House.

Yeah, I wanted to get some

professional experience.

So I spent two

summers in New York.

And how did you enjoy it?

Oh, I loved it.

I learned so much, and of

course, the city is amazing.

That's very proactive.

Normally when we get an

applicant with a degree like

yours, it's because they're

not ready for real work.

Oh, you know it took a lot of

work to get those degrees,

but I completely understand

your concern

and can assure you

that I am ready

to do some real work

in the real world.

Love that, and if I call you

your references in New York,

what do you

think they'll tell me?

Well, they wanted to hire me,

so I think they would

have great things to say.

They offered you a job.

Yes, they did.

It would've been in

New York though,

so it wasn't the

best fit for me.

But you just said you loved it t

Yes I-I did.

Yeah, I wanted to be close

to my boyfriend though.

Let me give you

some advice Andi.

You see that Gloria

Steinem quote on the wall?

Boyfriends come and go.

You are a very bright

young woman,

and the best thing you can do

at this stage of your career

is to surround yourself with

other bright young women.

Good luck.

You know, Gloria

Steinem didn't say that.

They just used

these little quotes

to sell T-shirts and posters.

Hey.

How did it go?

Uh, not great.

They asked about

the job in New York,

and when I told

them I couldn't take it,

they kind of wrote me off.

I'm sorry to hear that

Andi, how are you feeling?

Uh, you know,

nothing a little Netflix

and dinner won't help

fix, care to join me?

I wish I could, but I

have to work tonight.

Again?

Rookies get the worst shifts.

You know, that just

kind of makes me wish

that we would've

gotten a place together,

at least we could see each

other before you go to work.

Yeah, but then you miss out

on having your

own place in the city.

The appeal of that

kind of went away

whenever I got

into the job search.

Maybe it's good we held off.

I mean, I'd have to start

putting the toilet seat down.

You'd have to stop singing

Adele in the shower.

Oh, why would we want that?

I'm a great singer.

Oh, of course you are honey.

I guess just have a

good day and be safe.

Why don't you reach

out to Zoe and Jane?

They're out here

too, aren't they?

Yeah, I'll reach out to them.

I mean, you shouldn't

have to be alone

just because my hours are crazy.

No, I mean,

I have other friends.

Yeah, your books don't count.

You know what?

You are so funny, bye.

This doesn't feel sad at all.

What's this?

Just like a dating app,

find friends,

make connections, and build

valuable relationships.

About yourself.

Um, okay, recent grad,

new to the city.

I'm looking for, I guess,

friends who like volleyball,

Lizzo and Edith Wharton.

I need something else.

Oh! Let's grab a rose.

Uh, no, this is kinda corny.

Let's see.

Okay, is it Halloween?

No.

Uh, no.

New to the city

looking for new friends.

Unbelievable.

Wow.

Yeah.

Cute names, right?

Gotta love a good pun,

I'm Farrah.

Andi, hi.

You seem anxious, are you okay?

I guess I'm just a

little nervous.

I've never met anyone

from an app before.

There's no need to be nervous.

I meet women on

here all the time.

Really?

Yeah, it's actually really fun

once you get past

the boring stuff,

you know? How long have

you been in Boston?

What do you do?

Got it.

So the boring stuff, right?

Um, okay, okay, I moved to

Boston like three months ago,

and I guess I'm

just still looking

for that first

job out of college.

I've been there.

Oh, you're a transplant?

No, I actually have lived

in Boston my whole life.

Thank you.

Um, but I totally remember how

hard it was to get started.

Do you have friends or family

here that you can stay with?

Um, I mean, I have my boyfriend.

We barely see each other though,

because he works so much.

And I guess if I had any friends

I wouldn't be on the app.

I get it, my boyfriend also

has a super demanding job.

It makes me appreciate the

time we do have together, so.

Yeah, and it allows

time for friends.

Which I would think

since you're from here,

you probably have a lot of

friends from high school.

Yeah, yeah, I know a few, um.

I was kind of a

nerd in high school.

Well, you know me too.

Really?

Okay, what's your

favorite classic?

Oh, "I Know Why

the Caged Bird Sings".

Solid.

Thank you, how about you?

Frankenstein.

Okay, your favorite

mystery writer?

Daphne du Maurier.

Favorite Bronte.

You're gonna

make me pick just one?

Okay, you can have two.

But only if we agree that

Jane Eyre is way overrated.

Oh, no worries because

it totally is.

Good.

So dumb, so basic.

Yeah basic.

Speaking of basic,

there's something I really

have to show you after this.

All, right.

Fun and basic.

So according to the

Boston Historical Society,

Sylvia Plath used to write here.

What, really? How crazy.

Okay, so this is the basic thing

So cute, right?

Kinda love it.

Do you think you

can get a picture of me?

Oh yeah, let me use my phone.

I'll send it to you.

Okay.

Yeah.

Smile, oh my gosh, so cute.

Did you wanna get in?

Oh, I'm sorry, is is that dorky?

No, no, no, I definitely do.

Smile.

Wait, that is so cute.

It is, this was so much fun.

We should do it again sometime.

Yes, wait, okay.

So I'm meeting some friends

for drinks on Friday.

Do you have plans?

I don't, so I can

totally make it.

Okay, great.

I'll text you the details.

Okay, well see you Friday.

- See you Friday.

- Sure.

Bye, I'll text you.

You know, you just gotta

be in the know, like Farrah

told me about the

store on the west side

that has a conveyor

belt bookshelf.

How does that work?

I don't know, but,

it sounds cool.

Sounds like you met

your perfect match.

Oh, well I wouldn't say that.

Oh.

- Gotcha, okay.

- Thank you..

So where are you going tonight?

Some bar, I don't

remember the name.

It's like on the river above,

I don't know, Pool Hall

or something.

Oh. Oh, you mean The Break?

Yeah.

Have you been there?

Oh, no, no, I just heard that

to get up into the club

you need a password, now are

you sure Farrah can get you in?

Are you doubting my BFF.

No, no, I'm just saying

that as a local guy,

I'm a little skeptical.

Well, maybe that local girl

has better connections than you.

Oh, you want a bet on it?

You know, I do.

And if I win, I would like,

you know a real drink

at a real restaurant on

a real date with you.

Deal.

Everything okay?

Hey, I promise you,

a few months from now,

you'll be happier than

what you are now, okay.

Also, you're going out tonight

and you're going to

have a great time.

Okay?

I have friends.

You do.

Andi, you made it.

- Hey.

- Nice to meet you.

- Welcome.

- You know what?

Why don't I get

the first round of drinks?

- Oh no.

- Oh, that's sweet.

I'll get it for you.

This is the secret password bar.

Hi.

What can I get for you?

Evening Breeze for five.

No problem, it'll be right down.

What's an evening breeze?

It's not a drink.

We're here.

Kayla, do you still

wanna dip out early?

This is the bar I

was telling you about.

Yeah, how'd you

hear about this place?

Well, my boyfriend

and his coworkers

go to the coolest places

and he tells me about them.

Uh, will Ethan be

joining us tonight?

Yes, and he's

bringing by some friends.

He'll be here in a

few minutes, probably.

Actually, this is him.

Get comfortable.

Oh, I love your earrings.

Oh, thank you.

I got them at the flea

market in New Orleans.

Are you from NOLA?

No, but I did live

there for a year,

after college I decided to

move to a new place every year.

And so far I've done

Portland, New Orleans,

and I just got here

from Santa Fe.

Oh Santa's awesome.

I was there for a tour

and I absolutely loved it.

Ooh, what kind of tour?

Oh, I'm my dancer.

I was on tour with Ariana Grande

Wait, seriously,

what was she like?

I mean, she was my boss's boss,

so I didn't really get to talk t

but the tour was great.

- Good.

- Still kind of fancy.

Yeah.

Kayla, right, how do

you know Farrah?

I just met her tonight.

Really?

She messaged me and

invited me out for a drink.

Yeah, that's how I

met her as well.

Yeah, me too.

I mean, I guess

she wasn't joking

when she said it's a

great way to meet people.

Oh, yeah, I've been enjoying it.

I've been out with Farrah a

couple times and she's sweet.

Oh, and her boyfriend's posse

is great for the Tinder diet.

Tinder diet?

Yeah, where you go out with

a guy for a free meal.

- What?

- Yeah.

You don't think that's

like taking advantage?

Yes, okay, which is why I

only do it with gross guys.

You know the type,

the one that's,

they say they're

looking for a confident,

sexy girl who takes

care of her body.

Yes, exactly.

- So F Boy.

- Exactly.

All right, all right.

Listen, okay.

They only message me

because they like my body.

I only respond to them because

I'm broke and I like to eat.

I'm with it.

So, so, do you think that

Farrah's boyfriend is?

Mm-hmm. Him and

each of his friends, okay.

They're all big shots at

different firms around the city,

and they think that

that makes them hot sh...

They just walked in.

Mm-hmm.

I told you.

Is this like a hookup

or we like blind date?

No, oh, no, no, no.

Okay. I just wanna make sure,

I have a boyfriend, so.

Oh my God.

Miranda, you remember Ethan?

- Yes. Hello.

- And this is Kayla.

This is Holly and this is Andi.

It's great to meet you all.

I'll introduce my

friends in a second,

but let me get everyone

around her drinks first.

Oh no, you don't

have to buy everybody...

Don't worry about it.

I'm friends with the owner,

so whatever you want.

Order it to my tab.

Oh, well that's pretty sweet.

And I'll go talk to the DJ

and get him to turn

on my favorite song.

Can you do that?

Tonight, we can do

whatever we want.

Okay.

Four shots, please.

- Oh.

- Make it five.

Make it six.

I like her.

Man, she's been stuck to

his side since we got here.

Oh, well maybe it's love.

Farrah, Farrah come dance.

I need water.

♪ Party every day ♪

♪ Party party every day ♪

Who's that?

To your right. Yeah,

I think he's checking you out.

Boyfriend.

Hey, it's Andi, right?

Yeah, Jason?

Good memory.

Yeah.

Are you enjoying the club?

Ethan said you just moved to the

big city from a small town.

That's cute.

Yeah, but I've lived in

other big cities before.

- I've lived in New York.

- Wow. Globe trotter.

I guess.

Are you a model?

No, I'm trying to get a job

in publishing, actually.

Oh, you're kidding.

I would've thought

you were a model.

I've gone out with a few.

Okay.

You just had that look, you know

gorgeous and exotic.

Yeah, you wanna get out of here?

Thanks.

Oh, can you get off of me?

I have a boyfriend.

But he doesn't have to know.

Okay, seriously, stop.

- Oh. Wow.

- You okay?

Yeah, that was,

I should probably go.

You sure?

Yeah.

Hey, I'm gonna head out.

Wait, really why?

Yeah, we can't convince you

to stay for one more drink.

No, I have a early morning,

and honestly,

Jason kind of touched me

and it just ruined the mood.

Jason touched you.

Yeah.

I'm so sorry, he can be

a moron when he drinks.

Well, if you can just make sure

he doesn't do it again

and keep an eye on him.

Yeah, we'll take care of it.

See ya.

- Get home safe.

- Wonderful meeting you.

- You too.

- Goodnight.

What's her name again?

Andi.

I like her, she's feisty.

Where were we?

Hey, Andi, I know

you can hear me.

What, you don't

wanna talk to me?

Free drink?

It's top shelf.

Trust me, you're gonna

wanna try this.

One drink.

That's all I need.

Evening officer.

Yeah, it's morning.

Yeah, but you haven't

been to sleep yet.

So I figured I would

bring you dessert.

Come on, they were in the

air for like 20 minutes.

Oh, that's really

not fair, come on.

Missed you.

Were you sleeping?

Yeah, yeah.

How was the other night?

In the club?

Yeah.

It was great.

You know, they had these

lights that would blink on

and off, like to the

sound of the music.

It was kind of extra,

but I liked it.

I enjoyed it.

And Farrah's friends were cool.

They were, um,

they were really nice.

But the club, I think

you would really like it.

We should go together sometime.

I mean, not anytime soon.

I know you're really busy.

Just, you know

whenever you have a chance.

Yeah, well, um.

Hey, listen.

I think we should

spend time apart.

Er, um, what?

It's just, my schedule's

going to be awful

over the next few months.

I'm trying to squeeze in time

together with my crazy hours.

It's just, it's really hard.

I mean, it's hard, but we

knew that that would happen.

We knew that before

I moved here, Sean.

Okay but your

schedule is temporary.

And then I'm gonna

have a job too.

Because it's gonna get easier

when you start

working too, right?

How long have you

been thinking this?

Maybe a month.

Oh, since I moved here.

Look, I thought it would

be great to have you here

and we could work

towards something,

but it just seems like it's

just more distance between us

and we're both stressed

and overwhelmed, right.

And, and even...

No, if you just wanna

break up, you can say it.

That's not, that's what I want.

No, you do, you wanna

break up, but you're just,

you're too afraid to do it.

Hey.

Hi, just checking

in to see if you're okay

after last night, what Jason

did really wasn't cool.

Andi, what's wrong?

Do you just, you think

we could meet up?

I could really use

a friend right now.

No like, I know I shoudn't,

I shouldn't feel this way.

Like, just overwhelmed.

I just, I feel like

such an idiot.

Like I'm in a city I don't

know, with no job, no family,

no friends, and now no Sean.

And this is nobody's

fault but my own.

No, okay.

Give Sean some credit, okay.

You're in this mess

because he made plans and

then backed out of them.

No, but I should

have known better.

I decided to stop everything

for a relationship.

You made a big gesture for Sean

because you care about

him, that's so generous.

That's not something you

should beat yourself up over.

That's something he should be

ashamed for not recognizing.

Do you need to get that?

Oh.

No.

You know, thank you Farrah

for being there for me.

And I know we haven't

known each other very long,

but I appreciate you stepping

up and showing up for me.

Really, anytime.

Shannon, Shannon Waters.

I'm sorry, I don't.

Farrah, Farrah Priestly.

We went to high school together.

Oh, right, hi.

Um, this is my friend Andi.

Obviously not from high school.

So how have you been?

Good, yeah.

Same, me too.

Just been working and enjoying

the city, you know, it's nice.

I gotta go.

Okay, um,

it was so good seeing you.

Yeah, you haven't changed a bit.

And so you two

were tight in high school.

Please don't laugh.

Farrah, I would

never laugh at you,

besides, she seems

like a real jerk.

Um, yeah, you're right, um.

Sorry, seeing her just

kind of like takes me back

to a dark time.

I didn't really

have a lot of friends

and I didn't really know

how to talk to people.

I would just hide

behind my books.

Try not to be so invisible.

Oh, I-I get that.

But you're not in

that place anymore.

Okay, look at you.

You know you're

not alone now, right?

Yeah, it all changed

when I met Ethan.

When I'm with him, I just,

I really feel like

I matter to someone.

You know, this might be

newly single Andi talking,

but does Ethan always act the

way he did the other night?

What do you mean?

You know, he just seemed

like he was hovering

over you the whole time.

Yeah, I think that's just

how he shows affection.

Oh yeah, I'm probably

just overthinking things.

I should actually

get myself cleaned up

and then maybe

we'll go for a walk.

Yeah, yeah, I'd

really like that.

Woo!

Hey love.

Hey babe, we're

going to Pinnacle tonight.

I need you to bring Miranda

and the feisty girl.

Um, okay, I'll try to get them.

But I haven't heard

from Andi today.

You didn't text her?

Come on Farrah, you promised

to help me with this,

I'm counting on you.

I know, I'm sorry, Ethan

I just thought since,

you know what happened

with Jason last time,

that maybe we forget Andi.

Mmm, nah, the boys liked her.

They want another shot.

Ethan, I don't...

Farrah, don't go against me.

Okay.

Don't let me down.

I am so happy that

I came out tonight.

- Really? Good, good.

- Yes.

Yay, and Miranda's

gonna be here soon.

- Oh that'll be fun. Yay.

- Yes, yes.

And Ethan said he is gonna

stop by with some friends,

if that's cool?

And by friends.

No, not Jason, I promise.

- He promised me.

- Uh-oh.

What did I promise?

Nothing.

Hi, baby.

Andi.

Hi, I'm Marco.

Hey, I'm Andi.

I was gonna get a drink,

can I get you one too?

Sure, why not?

I'll take a scotch, neat.

And for the lady?

I'll just do a seltzer

there with lemon and lime.

I can order you a real drink.

No, no, I'm okay

with just the seltzer.

I uh, I thought you were here

to have fun tonight.

Didn't you just

break up with someone?

How do you know that?

Ethan had mentioned it.

He wanted to make sure the

guys treated you right tonight.

So, do you normally run a

little wild after a breakup?

What?

No, I will probably be

by myself for a while.

Where's the fun in that?

You like to play hard to get, hu

No, I'm not playing.

Excuse me.

You okay?

Um, yeah, thanks.

You came with Farrah, right?

Sorry, I'll leave you alone.

You work with Ethan, right?

Yeah, I'm Charlie.

Andi. You're welcome

to hang out,

but I don't know if I'll

be a good company tonight.

Neither can I,

I was dumped recently.

Same.

But I guess you

already know that.

Well, Ethan, he has a way of

knowing everyone's business.

I mean, convinced me to come

out tonight with everyone,

get back on the horse,

that kind of thing.

But I don't know if this

is really my kind of scene.

So why did you come out?

I mean, I was just promoted,

so I still have something

to prove to these guys.

And it'd be stupid to turn

down an invite from Ethan.

I mean, he's a

legend at our firm.

He started this club, right?

It's exclusive to people

at the top of their field.

I mean financiers,

lawyers, entrepreneurs.

Everyone with him is on

track to be a millionaire

by like 35, I mean, if they're

not already there, right?

Invite from Ethan

is an admission

to the most powerful

networking club in the state.

Let me guess, the club

is boys only, right?

Refreshing.

You know, I would give an excuse

or explanation for that,

but I'm guessing you'd

shoot it down, right?

Accurate, yes.

All right, fair enough.

Fair enough, uh.

You know, for what it's

worth, I think it's messed up.

And yet you joined.

Yeah, the club opens doors.

I don't come for money, right?

So I'm just doing what

I have to for my career.

No, I get it, you know.

You had no choice, poor you.

All right, all right,

well, tell me this,

if a club like this could

get you your next job,

would you join?

Shut up.

That's not a no.

Not a yes.

You know I'm right.

- I mean, millionaire by 30, 35.

- Right?

Maybe.

I don't know, I texted her.

She said she was coming.

You texted Kayla.

We were done with her.

You could go to another bar.

Too late.

Fix this, don't make a scene.

Okay?

Hey Kayla, how are you?

You deleted me.

What?

I told you what he did,

and you ghosted me.

You wanna talk

outside, it's quieter.

I'm not going anywhere with you.

Why haven't you answered me?

I just thought it'd be

better if I stayed out of it.

How is that better?

Jason assaulted me.

Are you sure?

I saw you two leave

together, you seemed happy.

You think I was happy

when he did this?

Did you know

what a creep he was?

What is wrong with you?

How could you do that?

Hey, hey, hey.

It's time for you to go.

Not until I get your friend's

full name and phone number.

You can give it to me or you

can give it to the police.

Or I could send

these to your boss.

There's plenty to pick from,

but I think this one's your

best angle and it doesn't look

like you're being

forced does it?

Leave now, you'll

never hear from us again

and these photos

won't go anywhere.

You've done this

before, haven't you?

I'll see you around.

I may have to leave early.

You have photos of her?

It's just insurance,

don't worry about it.

How long have you done...

I said, don't worry about it.

It's just photos, right?

You don't do anything

else to scare them.

If I do, it's because you

couldn't keep them away.

This was your screw up

and now I'm the

one who has to fix it.

I don't know how I can

count on you Farrah.

Hey, so what do you think

we ditched this place?

You know, I'm feeling like I'd

have more fun at my apartment

with some pizza,

we call Holly, Miranda and

maybe watch Love Island.

Maybe Selling Sunset.

Yes, yes.

Um, but I'll need to borrow

your Netflix password

'cause I just don't

feel right using Sean's.

- Yeah.

- I can't see logging back in.

Hey, come on.

So, I made him split

the bean salad with me.

You are an evil genius.

Right?

Weaponizing IBS to get

out of a date is poetic.

Thank you.

I guess we're lucky

you didn't have

any Tinder diet plans tonight.

Oh, I did, but I canceled.

Wait, wait, you

canceled your for us?

Yes, I guess I'd rather

hang out with you.

Don't make a big deal out of it.

- Shut up. Shut up.

- But it is a big deal.

You know what

else is a big deal?

Have you been out

on her fire escape?

Kind of fabulous,

you must see it.

Really? Oh!

Oh my gosh, they're gonna

be out there forever

- just taking selfies, so classic

- Yeah.

I ate so much.

It's so good though.

I know.

Okay, now he was mean to you,

you don't have to

rush to text him back.

I know, but he just doesn't

like being embarrassed

in front of his friends.

You know, I get that you guys

have been together

for a long time

and that he's nice to

you some of the time.

But that doesn't mean

that you owe him anything.

Some of the time it's

better than nothing.

You can't really think that.

No one's ever kept me around.

Not friends, not boyfriends.

And when I met Ethan, our

relationship was like a dream.

He made me feel

like I meant something

while everyone else

wrote me off.

Okay, but just because

everyone else didn't see it

doesn't mean that it's not there

You're an amazing person

and a good person.

You deserve the best.

Not him tonight.

Pizza.

It's stunning.

- So lucky.

- No, there's only one bite.

No, no, no.

I was gonna eat the last one.

Oh you were were you?

It's my house.

Congratulations again.

What?

Sorry, I'm sorry.

Sorry, I got a job.

- You got a job?

- I got a job.

We're at the scene of

an evening hit and run

that has left a local grad

student in critical condition.

22-year-old Kayla Grayson

was struck by a vehicle

on her way home.

Any witnesses to the

accident are encouraged

to call the Boston

Police tip line.

Andi, hey.

- Hey.

- What brings you here?

I just got a job with

Athena Publishing upstairs.

Do you work in this building?

Yeah, our firm is

on the top floor.

Should come up

and visit sometime

if you wanna see the

view from the top.

Yeah, I'll keep that in mind.

Can you hold that?

Jason, good morning.

Shannon, did you read my report?

I did, your assistant

did good work.

Should give her a raise.

Congratulations on the new gig.

You should come out with us

this weekend to celebrate.

I already have plans,

but thank you.

Hey, you know that guy?

No, not really.

He's in some club with

Farrah's boyfriend,

so I see him from time to time.

Oh, you were in the cafe,

Andi, right?

Yeah, right.

So Farrah, Farrah Priestley

is Ethan's girlfriend.

Yeah.

Wow, that sad, stupid girl.

Don't you have to

be on the top floor?

Here, take this.

If anything weird happens

when you're out with

Ethan, give me a call.

After hearing what you have

to say about my friend,

I doubt I'll have

anything to say to you.

Andi, tell us

about your first week.

Oh my God, guys, this

publisher is amazing.

Like they represent all of

these just cool, diverse voices.

And they have me working on a

campaign for romance series.

- Okay.

- Amazing.

That's amazing.

Oh, that's so great.

It sounds like you got exactly

what you were looking for.

I think I did.

Oh, speaking of living my dream.

I got a call back for

another tour tomorrow.

- Cheers.

- Yes, cheers to that.

To you too.

Yes, oh my gosh, that's amazing.

Uh, not to be a downer,

but did you guys hear that

Kayla was in a car accident?

Yeah.

What, when?

Apparently sometime

this weekend.

I heard about it on Monday.

Yeah.

Is she okay?

No, apparently she's in a coma.

Farrah, you invited, Ethan?

No, I just told him

we were going out.

I heard we were

celebrating, congrats Andi.

- Thanks.

- Hi baby.

Hi.

I thought you're

going out with boys.

It's not really a night out

without you and the girls.

What do you guys

say to another round?

Let's liven this party up.

Now it's a party.

Thank you.

Right, everybody grab a drink.

Cheers to Miranda and Andi.

Cheers.

- Congrats guys.

- Have a good night.

All right guys, this isn't

how we enjoy Friday night.

Come on ladies, let's dance.

Okay.

Okay, oh my gosh.

I think I'm gonna come back.

Oh, loosen up Andi,

tonight's for you.

You want to enjoy it, right?

How is tonight for me?

I'm sorry I'm

a little off tonight.

I kind of saw Shannon

downstairs, messed with me.

Shannon?

Yeah, I kind of think she's

trying to get up here.

I just like, don't

want any trouble.

Okay, well maybe I'll go

downstairs and just

- check it out.

- Are you sure?

I can do it.

No, I don't think

you should have to deal

with two bullies tonight.

I'll take care of it.

Get her to loosen up will you?

Okay.

There's club regulars,

Ethan and Farrah,

if you hear or see anything

fishy, can you let me know?

Hey, hey.

What are you up to?

The other day you couldn't

be bothered with Farrah

and now you're asking

everyone about her and Ethan.

What do you know

about Ethan's club?

It's something of a

myth at our firm,

Ethan invites these

high power guys

from different industries

out every week

with promises of VIP clubs,

free booze, and a string

of hotties to drool over.

I thought they were just

rumors until a few weeks ago.

My friend Jessica, she went

out with a group of guys

and woke up the next day

covered in bruises without

any idea how she got them.

And she thinks someone

from the club did it?

Can't prove it, but yeah,

this email was sent the

day after Jessica was hurt,

Jason's assistant

was leaving the firm

and forwarded it to me.

Look at what Ethan wrote.

Flowers on ribs and back.

Okay, I don't,

what does that mean?

Jessica has a lily

tattooed on her rib

and a daisy on her lower back.

Did she go to the police?

I couldn't get

Jessica to report it.

She'd been assaulted before

and the first one was,

it was a lot of trauma

without much of a result.

She didn't wanna

go through that again.

But I know Ethan is behind this.

I wouldn't put it

past these guys,

but you have to

have something else

besides this email, right?

Jessica was invited

out that night

by a friend she

made on the Be Friends app.

Her name was Farrah.

Never would've thought

it was the Farrah

I knew from high school

but small world, I guess.

Yeah, I need to talk to Farrah.

Are you serious?

After everything

I just told you.

Yeah, I

Farrah, can we

talk to you for a sec?

Yeah, what's up?

Do you see what's going on?

Yeah, everyone's

just having fun.

They're just dancing.

Fun, do you know

somebody named Jessica?

I just wanna go dance,

come on, come with me.

No, I don't wanna dance.

Who are these guys, why

are they always around?

They're just Ethan's

friends, okay.

They just come because

they're friends, it's okay.

They're just here, trust me.

Just give them a chance, okay?

Just come dance, it's okay.

No, it's not fine.

Holly, Holly, you okay?

No, I feel really sick.

Okay then come on,

let's get out of here.

Okay, come on, get your stuff.

Elevator's here, right?

I can actually, I can

help get Miranda home.

It's okay. I live really close

and offered to

let her crash on my couch.

Oh, well you know what?

I don't think any of us should

be driving alone or anything.

Maybe we could all ride with

you and go back to your place

for a fun time.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Maybe one more drink,

would you mind getting me

one more drink.

Do you mind just taking

over for me for a second?

Hang on with Andi

for a second, okay?

I'm gonna be right back.

Okay, we'll be here.

Come on, somewhere quiet.

No, wait!

Oh god, please let

there be a lyft right now.

Did one of you give

Marco my number?

He just texted me

saying this isn't over.

All right, come on.

Come on, let's go.

Okay, take my shoulder.

I'm gonna throw up.

Okay, let's just

make it outta here.

How you feeling?

Morning.

God, how late

were we out last night?

Um, we got in about 12:30.

Thanks for letting us stay.

We must have had a lot to drink.

Do you remember

anything from last night?

Either of you?

We didn't drink that much.

We had the one drink

at the cocktail place

and then another at the club.

Then why did we black out?

Look, there's an urgent care

about three blocks away.

Okay, we can find out if

somebody spiked your drinks.

I have to get home.

Holly, do you

wanna split an Uber?

No, we should get

you to the hospital

and get you checked out.

I can't Andi, my callback

is this afternoon.

I need to shower and

change and get downtown.

Okay, listen, I know

it's a really big

opportunity for you,

but we should find out

if something happened.

All I know is I got away

safely and thank you for that.

But I'm not like you, I

don't work in marketing.

I'm a dancer.

I can't afford a hospital bill

just to find out

if I was drugged.

So I'd rather just land

this job, leave town.

Never see those guys again.

Okay, but those guys

could do this again

to somebody else.

Kayla, does anybody know why

she just stopped coming around?

My ride is almost here.

Miranda.

You're free to come if you want.

Thanks Andi, you take

care of yourself, okay?

Hey, can we meet?

Yeah, I just, I need you.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Good to see you.

Of course, yeah.

Should we?

Oh yeah.

Sorry, here, I got you.

Have any of them contacted you?

Not since Marco threatened me.

You know,

is there anything you could do?

I can give my CO a heads up,

but at this point I don't

think anything will come of it.

What do you mean,

they drugged women,

that's a whole crime.

Yeah, and to press charges,

we would need Miranda

and Holly to report it.

Get blood work and prove

that they were drugged.

But even if they do guys

like Ethan lawyer up fast

and I don't have to tell you

like it's gonna be hard to

make these charges stick.

Okay, and then putting

Kayla in the hospital.

She'd have to identify

the driver who hit her.

But if she is in the ICU,

there's a good chance

that she won't remember

the accident when she wakes up.

I mean like for

crying out loud, Sean,

you could, you

could follow them.

You know,

it's just a matter of time

before they do

this to someone else

and you could be right there.

Cops can't watch everyone,

we know it'll be dangerous.

We can only respond to a

crime after it's committed.

Okay?

So they get to just keep

assaulting women unchecked.

Until one of the women

come forward, yeah.

You know, you make it seem

like it's the women's fault

that this continues to happen.

That's not, that's

not what I meant.

I'm just saying it's not your

job to stop these guys, okay.

Maybe it's better if

you step away from them.

Like Miranda said.

How do you suggest I do that?

They work in my building.

Well maybe that

could be good for you.

You can notify building security

and they can keep a watch

out for anything untoward.

Did you just say untoward?

It's in my textbook.

Look at you.

Ha.

You know, actually,

I do think there's

someone at the office

who can help me with this.

I'm gonna ask her.

In the meantime,

hopefully nothing too

untoward happens.

Shannon, I need to talk to

you about Ethan and Farrah.

Okay, let's go this way.

Wait, isn't your

office this way?

I'd rather Ethan not overhear

that we're talking

about him, wouldn't you?

Right, right, right.

Okay, what's going on?

We've gotta get Ethan.

So we've gotta get to the police

with some concrete evidence.

We need someone who's been

drugged to come forward.

I was thinking,

if you'd be willing to

go out with him again.

What and risk getting

date raped, are you crazy?

I have a friend in the club

who could watch your back.

Who?

Charlie.

He used to work for me before

his promotion and when Ethan

gave him the invite, he

agreed to tell me what he saw.

Yeah, like no offense to Charlie

but he was at the

club the other night

when I almost

got date raped myself.

Okay, then our other

option is to watch them

and see if we can

catch them in the act.

Provided they don't catch

a spying on them first.

What if we can report them

for carrying an

illegal substance?

Rohypnol is illegal and Ethan

probably keeps it at work.

It always seems like he's going

to the club straight from work.

So if they find it here,

that could work.

It could, I guess I

can check his office.

Yeah, and then I can have

Farrah check his apartment.

She's already working with them.

Why would she change teams?

Because they

treat her like trash.

If you tell Farrah what

we're trying to do,

she'll just turn

around and warn him.

Not if we convince

her to take our side.

Farrah has never

had friends, you know?

Have you considered that

maybe if there was someone

in her life ever who

just gave her a chance

and maybe saw her as a person,

that maybe we wouldn't

be in this position.

You know, if we turn Farrah in,

she'll be the one to blame

for the stuff that they did.

She'll have to take

their consequences.

Okay, no, I get that she's

lonely but she's not stupid.

She found you and all the others

and she knew what

would happen to you.

Look, ultimately,

we need Farrah.

Okay, fine.

Give Charlie and me a

few days to look around

and if we don't find anything

then we'll go with your plan.

Thank you.

I still don't think it'll work.

Yeah but Farrah

will appreciate you

for giving her a chance.

Don't be gross.

Are you coming?

I'll wait a few minutes,

I don't want anyone

seeing us together.

Hello?

Hello?

Gave me no details whatsoever.

I don't even understand

what's going on.

They have to make a bigger.

I don't know what

we're supposed to do.

Am I supposed to

send everybody home?

I hope so.

I just.

What?

Security just called,

somebody's been assaulted

in the stairwell.

In this building?

Yeah.

Andi, Andi.

What?

You know her?

Sean, We were just right here,

we were just talking about these

guys and how to catch them.

Sean.

Keep your voice down, you don't

want anybody to hear that.

Want anybody to hear?

I don't want them to hear

the motive for her murder?

If Ethan or any of

the other guys did it

we'll get security footage

to place them here,

but we have to

let the evidence do that.

We don't wanna place you at

the scene of the crime, okay?

If they know I was here, then...

They would create reasonable

doubt and get them off.

Hey, Maya a little

help over here.

Yeah, yeah, be right

there, hey, hey.

Go in there and

talk to your boss.

Tell him you need

to leave, okay?

I'll give you a ride home.

You can look, but don't stare.

At least tell me you

have something planned for Andi.

Obviously, she's

practically begging for it.

Really, Farrah?

Andi, what are you doing here?

I was supposed to meet Shannon.

Oh, um.

Yeah, I know.

Okay, so what are

you doing here?

I think Ethan killed her.

Charlie, Shannon told

me that she said

that she would spy

on them at the club.

They must have told

you what they do,

would killing her so she

would keep it a secret,

would that be so farfetched?

Maybe not, which is why

I don't wanna get

in the middle of it.

And neither should you.

I can't just keep my head down,

I can't look the other way.

Andi, if people are dying,

this isn't the time to be a hero

Oh, forget about being a hero.

It's my life.

Okay, you can maybe get

away and just walk away,

but I can't.

Please Charlie.

Oh, I think he's heading back.

Okay, let me get you outta here.

No, no, no.

I have a couple more

things I have to get.

He can come back any second.

Yeah, so I need

you to go stall him.

Just go out there and

talk to make sure

he doesn't come in here.

Hey Ethan.

Do you have a second?

Sure, let's talk in my office.

Actually, can we talk in mine?

It'll only just take a second.

It's about that self firm

- that I'm visiting right now,

- Right.

They're just worried

about the distribution.

- They wanted to...

- They are?

Well, they just wanted

to set up a meeting.

They're free Thursday

to discuss it.

We work with accounts

five times their size.

Right, but if you

look at these numbers

that we were looking at,

they're pretty close to

what we normally pull in.

Sure, let's make

sure they're comfortable.

They're thinking

of investing more.

Really?

Yeah, like a six figure range.

And maybe bringing

in those other accounts

could help seal the deal.

Thanks for the tip.

The security camera on

the roof was broken.

Apparently we don't have footage

of Shannon going up there, so.

Sean, she was really careful

when we went up there.

Like she didn't want the two

of us to be seen together.

Does this mean that they're

gonna rule it an accident?

Possibly, unless

we find evidence

of motive and opportunity.

Okay, so hypothetically,

if we were to maybe

have some evidence,

like recordings of those

guys assaulting women,

will we be able to

do anything with it?

Even if the women

don't say anything?

Yeah, we would have

to locate the women

and confirm that it

wasn't consensual.

But if there are

recordings of some kind,

yeah, we can investigate them.

And we could get all of them.

I mean, Ethan, Jason, Marco.

And Farrah.

Honestly, she and Ethan

would probably get

the worst punishments.

Would, would there be any way

for Farrah to avoid that?

You know, she might be able

to get a lesser sentence

if she turns in the

guys to cut a deal.

Okay.

And if Farrah was assaulted,

would that make a different?

Would it make a

difference if she was?

Look, I mean, would it

justify what she did?

She's my only

friend right now Sean,

I really don't know how

all this got so messed up.

Hey, for what it's worth,

I'm sorry for the

role I've played in,

putting in you in this position,

but Farrah is not

your only friend.

Thank you for your help.

Yeah.

My gosh.

All these women.

Farrah, we have to stop it,

you and me together.

We can do it.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Thanks for coming.

Yeah.

Listen I'm sorry that things

got crazy the other night.

I don't remember much,

but I guess Ethan kind

of hijacked you night.

You know, Holly and Miranda,

they don't remember much either.

I guess we were really

throwing them back.

No, we really weren't.

And I know that

because I stopped drinking

the second Ethan walked in.

You know, you want me to

tell you what happened

or what was supposed to happen?

But my guess is that

you already know.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't

have come here.

No, how many women have

you met on this app?

I don't know.

Whose idea was it?

Was it yours or was it Ethan's?

I have to say it's very crafty.

It's a great way to

disarm women.

It's not like that, okay.

He just has to impress these

guys and asked has for my help.

- That's it.

- No, he runs a date rape club.

No, it's not, they're

just hooking up.

So all these women

that he has all these

indisposed pictures of,

this is just hookups?

I don't know what

you're talking about.

He has pictures

of you too Farrah.

He has pictures of

you and all the women

that you brought to

him to be used.

I'm sorry, okay.

No, Ethan is a predator.

And he used you too.

Okay, he saw how unloved

and how scared you were

and he used that.

Now you can stop him from

doing that to anyone else.

I can't turn him in.

Yes you can.

No, I can't.

If I turn Ethan in,

I'll go down with him.

No you won't because

you're a victim too.

The police will see that.

I don't know, sorry.

Okay look, Farrah, when we

first connected over books,

we didn't read those stories

because the people were perfect.

We connected because

they were real people

who sometimes made mistakes,

but along the way

they made it better.

You can do better.

You can help us put him away.

So he can't do

this to anyone else.

Okay.

Okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Do you have anything that we

can use to incriminate him?

Ethan gave me an envelope.

He didn't tell me what was

in it and I didn't ask.

But I think it's drugs

he uses on women.

Is it Rohypnol?

I think so.

You know that's a

banned substance.

The fact that he has you hold it

means he'd rather you

get caught than him.

Let's go get it.

My girl.

I put the envelope in my closet.

Okay. So I put it in here.

I'm gonna look upstairs, would

you mind checking in here?

Thanks.

Hey, Farrah.

Would it be in like

some type of zip...

Farrah.

Ethan.

You wanna help her

because she's your friend.

Don't hurt her.

How many times, baby?

How many times

do I have to tell you

not to make this more difficult?

We got a good thing going.

You helped me,

I take care of you.

Who else is going

to do that, her?

Or any of the other

sluts you find online?

Baby.

If any of them

really got to know you,

they wouldn't stick around.

But I will honey, I will

always be there for you.

If you just do what I tell you.

So get up and help me

get Andi to The Break,

she has an admirer

waiting for her

and I'm not in

the mood to be late.

Uh-uh!

It's the phone you sent

my album to, right?

Hey, this it?

Give me a hand.

Help me get Andi to the break.

She's got an admirer

waiting for her

and I'm not in the

mood to be late.

Sorry man.

Stay with her.

Andi, Andi, are you okay?

Andi, come on.

Please be okay.

Okay, I'm gonna get

us out here, okay?

Hey, I'm looking

for my girlfriend.

Have you seen her?

Sorry man, I don't know.

Sorry man, you don't.

Sorry man, okay.

Okay.

Hey bartender, Evening Breeze.

All right.

Evening Breeze.

Leaving so soon?

You're such a spitfire, Farrah.

- Thanks for your help.

- Same.

We'll leave you to it, she

shouldn't be too much trouble.

How about some privacy?

No, you told him.

And I told you

I'd do what I have to.

Shannon trusted you.

She made a bad call.

You're a monster,

you're a monster!

Get away from me!

I guess you do have a spine.

Hey!

Get off of me.

You're not gonna win this Andi.

Stop trying.

Please help me man, this

crazy chick just attacked me.

- Good.

- What?

- Good for her.

- What?

Good for her.

Are you serious?

Are you serious?

Hey Andi, nice work

on the proposal.

Thanks man.

Hey.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I wanted to tell you in person

that you know, Ethan and

the rest of those guys,

they're being arraigned

on assault and murder.

I was reading the article.

Look, if you want to talk,

you know, my

training basically is over.

I have a few free days now,

so I'm here now if you want.

Only, only if you need.

Yeah, that sounds nice.

I like that.

Cool.

Cool.

Hey, do you wanna

grab lunch now or?

Well now I actually have

plans with my friends.

Oh yeah, yeah, sure, sure.

But next time.

Well, you have my number.

You think so?

Life is far too short,

take the chance.

Fly to Greece, why not?

I know.

What's the hell's going on?

I just trust me, please.

- Why is she here?

- Oh my God.

Hey, Farrah.

I don't think I can do this.

Oh, you can do it.

They'll hate me and

they'll be right too.

Okay, that is Ethan talking.

So come, talk about it and

everybody can heal, okay?

Come on, wait right there.

Um.

I know that this is way

too little too late,

but um...

I'm really sorry for what I did.

I've dated bad guys too.

They treated me badly and

I did mental back flips

to try to convince myself that

it was my fault, not theirs.

It messes with you.

And no one deserves

that, no one.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Ethan told me he was a feminist.

What?

Yeah, I knew then

he couldn't be trusted.

To making them pay for it.

And to Shannon.

There's no tasteful way

to transition out of that.

Nope, there's not.

How are your rehearsals going?

Oh yeah, exhausting.

This is my last day

off for a few months.

But, the numbers

are dope though.

Oh, I know you have some videos.

What, you trying to get me sued?

What we really want is tickets.

Well, dare to dream lady.

I did dream.
