Jane (2022) - full transcript

Hey.

Hey.

Do you need a ride?

No, I'm good.

My boyfriend's picking me up.

Okay.

Hey, Phil.

Hey, you ready?

Yeah.

And remember,
life is a precious gift

and you have so much of it
ahead of you.



If you're ever feeling lost
or hopeless,

please talk to someone.

This school is a safe space

and the faculty's doors
are always open.

Jane will remain in our hearts
now and always.

It's so sad.

You think she's okay?

Of course not.

They were best friends.

Josa,
I've been loving your show.

Thank you.

Can't wait for the next episode.

It's so great we're doing this.

My co-stars and I have been
UNICEF ambassadors for a while.



We actually got to visit
their emergency relief site

in Honduras.

It's so important.

Yeah.

Also, college interviewers
have been eating it up.

Thanks, Josa.

Thank you so much!

Can I grab a cookie?

-Oh yeah.
-Yeah.

Why do only two
Greenwood students

get into Stanford each year?

Olivia, hi!

How are you?

Only Riya
and Alyssa got in last year.

Well,
it varies from year to year,

depending on the class.

And only two got in
the year before that.

Yes, but it's not
a steadfast rule.

Look, don't get caught up
in all this quota nonsense.

Okay.

How many girls applied
early action this year?

Olivia, you've had
a rough few months.

Right now, you just need
to start focusing on yourself.

Your application is strong,
you're a smart young woman,

and you're gonna get in
somewhere great.

Not somewhere.

Stanford.

Hey, welcome back.

O Captain!

My Captain!

-Hey, Richardson.
-How you doing, Champ?

-I'm good.
-Yeah?

Ready to kick
some Oceanview butt?

-You know it!
-Alright, let's do it.

My opponent is goin'
to get up here and tell you

that the only way
America can survive

this competitive
global landscape

is by looking inwards

and cutting off all
foreign philanthropic efforts.

But I'd like to remind you
that our aid,

the wells we built in Somalia,

the schools we set up
in Afghanistan,

and the doctors we sent
to earthquake ravaged Haiti

is the only thing helping us
maintain a positive image

in this world.

This is America,
land of the free,

home of the brave,

and protectors
of the disenfranchised.

Let's remind everyone
that we truly believe that.

Thank you.

Hmm, great job in there.

-Thanks.
-Yes.

You're gonna have room
for another trophy?

I think I can find a place.

Was my second speech okay?

I felt like I flubbed it
in the middle

and I really didn't hit
that last--

-No, you didn't!
-Hi, Mr. R!

Oh, hey, Camille.

Alright, great, this is perfect.

I wanted to introduce you
to Olivia.

She is our stellar
debate team captain.

Olivia, this is Camille.

Hi.

It's so, so nice to meet you.

She just transferred from
Fairstone High in New York

and she's gonna be joining
our debate team.

Yay.

Yeah.

Great.

So I'm gonna introduce you
to the rest of the team.

-Yeah?
-Yeah, sounds good.

See you.

Yeah.

Hi, Sweetie, how was your day?

It was fine.

We won the tournament.

Oh.

That is great.

Well, that debate stuff
is gonna look amazing

on your college apps.

Yeah,

Stanford admission guys
definitely have a hard on

for those trophies.

Uh, please,
let's not talk about college,

hard ons, and my daughter
while I'm trying to eat.

Oh my God, Dad, please.

-Your mom started first.
-Mm-mm.

You know, anyways,
this food is very good, Dad.

Thank you.

- Oh, you're so welcome.
- Hmm.

Change the subject.

It is good, it's great.

Thank you.

It's not the end of the world.

I'm always here
to talk through your options.

Getting accepted in the spring
is still a possibility.

Consider submitting a letter
to the admissions board.

What kind of letter?

Well,
students sometimes have success

with personal appeals.

Okay, I'll do that.

Don't let this define you.

We could discuss that.

Yeah, that'd be great.

Yeah. Perfect.

Like after practice
or something.

Yeah, that's like perfect.

-Cool.
-Cool.

Oh.

Alright!

Afternoon, everyone.

By now we've all met Camille.

So let's give her a warm
welcome

for her first team practice.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Hi, guys.

Thank you so much.

Okay, we're gonna divide up
into practice groups,

so Camille,

why don't you join up
with Olivia for today?

Sounds good.

Alright, let's have Debbie
with Sydney,

and Crystal with Amelia.

Let's run the case.

I won my last couple of
tournaments on this topic,

but I'm happy to look over
your arguments.

Thanks,
but obviously I won, too,

so I don't really think
that's necessary.

Right.

I'm-- I'm talking about
real tournaments

with more than just
a couple of schools attending.

I took notes
during your last debate.

We could start with that.

Why don't you just
read what I have?

Um, I don't remember seein' you
at Nationals last year.

I just think that this team
could really benefit

from my leadership.

Are you feeling okay?

I'm happy to help you out
anytime!

Fuck you!

Olivia!

Olivia.

Olivia, can you hear me?

You okay?

Okay,
practice is over for today.

We'll--
we'll pick it up tomorrow.

Here, try to drink some water.

I'm sorry.

Hey, I understand

that this has been
a really tough time for you,

but that doesn't make it okay
to disrespect a teammate.

But she started it.

I think it's best
if you sit out

this weekend's tournament.

No, please, Richardson.

Olivia,
you're under a lot of stress,

okay?

It's just one competition.

Take the opportunity
to decompress.

Are you fucking kidding me?

Hey.

Hi.

Looks like you can use a ride.

Thanks again.

Hey, Liv.

I, um...

I miss her, too.

Thanks.

Sweetie, it'll be okay.

It's a deferral,
it's not a rejection.

I know you'll turn this around,

you'll get accepted
in the spring.

Yeah, they'd be idiots
not to have you.

I don't know.

I mean I'm filling in
as Captain this weekend,

but I'm pretty sure
Richardson's

gonna make it permanent.

I mean she literally passed out
during practice.

It's just kinda sad, you know.

Oh my God, that's so sad.

The next thing you know,
she's gonna pass out

during the debate.

Well, I've been wanting
to see that,

but only if I was
on the other team, so...

Hey.

Whoa.

Did you-- did you see?

N-- never mind.

Okay.

Anyways uh,
do you need a ride again?

Um no, I'm-- I'm fine, thanks.

I fixed my car.

Cool.

Actually...

Yeah?

Would you wanna get a coffee
or something?

Uh...

Um, no--
no pressure if you're busy.

No, I don't have anything.

Let's do it.

Okay.

Wow,
this girl sounds like the worst.

You're not wrong.

I am so over
high school politics,

I'll kill myself if I don't
get in somewhere soon.

I, uh...

I didn't mean...

No, I know.

Who the hell transfers
beginning of senior year anyway?

You said this girl went
to Fairstone High?

Uh, yeah,
I think it's in New York.

Wait, shut the fuck up.

What?

The dates line up.

It's the same school,
it's Camille.

There's no way to know that.

Wait,
did this girl frame her teacher?

Yes!

You have so much on her now.

No one just moves across the
country for no reason.

Um, okay.

What do you want me to do?

Just like go up to her
in the middle of debate practice

and be like, "Hey, heard you
fake fucked your teacher?"

No.

You don't have to
publicly shame her.

just let her know that you're
onto her little secret

and force her to back off.

Easy.

Isn't that what you wanted?

I don't know.

What if it's not even true?

Um,
I have to get some work done,

but it was nice to hang.

Yeah, it was, uh...

It was good to see you.

Thanks for um, letting me vent.

For what good is a structure
without its foundation?

When every insignificant
thought

is published for the worlds

at a click of a button,

does it not rock
that very foundation?

A beginning implies the start
of a journey,

but as ideas, photos, and more
become increasingly ephemeral,

that journey's length
becomes truncated.

No longer is the beginning
a substantial step

for the world.

I cannot believe you found this.

We got lucky.

She was already 18
when it happened.

What are you gonna do?

I don't know.

Do you have any ideas?

Mm...

I mean you should find some way
to mess with her head a bit.

Honestly, you should DM her
and let her know that you know.

Oh, that's way too risky.

I wish there was a way
we could do it anonymously.

You could, mm...

I mean you could
make a new Connect profile.

She'd have no idea.

That is perfect.

I know.

I think I left my bag in my car.

Do you have your computer?

Shit, um, I left it at school.

Oh, but I do have my old one.

- Okay.
- Hang on.

Oh, bingo.

Okay.

What?

How did you...

She must have logged on
last time she was over.

I haven't used this laptop
in months.

Well, I mean Camille
doesn't know her.

That's kinda fucked up.

Aren't we tryin'
to mess with her head?

Honestly,
Jane would have loved this.

You're right.

She totally would.

Plus, there's no way
she'd know it was us.

Okay.

Okay, fine.

Fine, I'm in.

-I'm in.
-Okay.

How about "Don't think
we haven't noticed you

throwing yourself
at Mr. Richardson.

Guess old habits die hard."?

Well?

Perfect.

-Okay, bye.
-See you later.

"Your rye-straw hats put on

and these fresh nymphs
encounter--

The minute of their plot
is almost come.

Well done.

Avoid.

No more."

Isabelle, please continue.

"This is strange.

Your father's in some passion
that works him strongly.

Never till this day
saw I him touched with anger,

so distempered."

No way.

Maybe there's something
on Connect?

-Her profile's not there.
-What?

Wait, we were just messaging
with her this morning.

Shit.

You don't think
she knows it's us, do you?

Oh no, we'd be in Rhode's
office by now.

Liv,
but isn't this what you wanted?

-I don't know.
-Don't over think it.

This is a good thing.

Mission accomplished.

Hey Richardson,
do you have a sec?

Yeah, of course.

What's up?

I just--

I wanted to apologize
for my behavior last week.

I've been thinking a lot
about the team

and more than anything,

I really wanna do my part
to make it the best

that it can be.

Even if that means sharing
leadership with Camille.

I'm glad to hear you say that.

I really think
we can find a way

to combine our strengths
and work together.

NatQuals is just around
the corner

and with a little more effort,

I know we can get the team
to Nationals.

Well, I...

I really appreciate
the go-get-'em attitude,

but unfortunately
Camille decided

that Greenwood
wasn't a good fit,

so she's no longer
a student here.

Oh no, I'm--
I'm so sorry to hear that.

Is there anything else
you wanna talk about?

Um, no.

Okay.

Well, I'm here if that changes.

Okay, thanks.

See you at practice.

Okay.

Are you sure there isn't a
sample letter you can show me?

Olivia, this is supposed to be
a personal appeal.

Other students' letters
won't work.

Well, what's the right message?

There must be something
that they're looking for.

Just draw from important
moments in your life.

I mean nothing in your first
draft feels uniquely you.

What's something
that they wouldn't already know

from your application?

Send me your next draft
and we can go from there.

Oh my God.

I have to say, Ladies,
I'm pretty disappointed.

Let's hope next week's papers
are more coherent.

...beginning, I--
I just couldn't fathom

the words that were
coming out of her mouth.

Hey.

Hey!

Anyways, she really went

and gave us a big huge
massive paper.

I'm like, "Mrs. West is
legitimately

the worst teacher and I--
I just don't understand."

No.

Yeah, she's trying to
sabotage--

Nope.

No way.

Mrs. West probably
doesn't even have a Connect.

Look.

Oh.

Okay, that's pretty sad.

Yeah.

But we can't.

Well, she knew Jane.

And Jane hated her.

And don't you think
we'd be pushing our luck?

She has such a bullshit
holier-than-thou attitude.

We have to show people
how shitty West is.

Okay, yes, that's true.

She probably wouldn't
give an A

if her life depended on it.

And she made Jane's life
a living hell.

Oh, now this...

This would look so good on you.

Uh-huh.

-Take it.
-Okay.

Yeah.

Okay.

Oh no.

Alright.

Um...

One of these better work
for tonight.

What's tonight?

I'm going to a party with Phil.

He's been acting like
so weird lately.

Oh.

I'm sorry that's annoying.

Yeah.

No, I don't like this.

Oh.

Okay, come here.

Oh!

I like this a lot.

-Really?
-Yeah.

Should we like double cuff it?

I don't know.

Oh, okay.

You know, there's no way
she'd know it was us.

She's a teacher.

A private message
is not gonna do anything.

Well, I do have an idea.

On June 28th, 1914,
Archduke Franz Ferdinand

and his wife Sophie
were assassinated

on a visit to Sarajevo.

This may seem
like a small moment,

but Ferdinand was the heir
to the Austro-Hungarian empire.

His death was the final straw,

fracturing Europe
and starting World War I.

What's so funny?

Okay, hilarious, Ladies.

Can we please focus?

Ha, ha, ha, very mature.

If you cannot use your
computers responsibly,

you cannot use them.

Oh!

That's it!

Close your computers,
turn off your phones!

What--
What the hell?

-That's it!
-Hey!

What are you doing,
you entitled bitches?

Stop it!

Mia, what are you typing?

-Give me that computer.
-Let-- let go!

It's been re-posted like
100 times.

Yeah.

People are super freaked out.

Honestly, it's a nice break
from talking about

college acceptances.

-Seriously?
-Mmhmm.

By the way uh,
where are you applying?

Uh,
top choice is still Stanford.

We'll see.

Right, right.

Duh.

Well, I'm sure you'll get in.

These headlines are insane.

"Student posthumously exposes
abuse in the classroom.

Elite LA private school's
mysterious scandal."

Wait, her Connect is gone.

She must have deleted it.

Those headlines are kinda harsh.

She's kinda harsh.

Jane is just exposing people
for who they really are.

Yeah.

To Jane.

To Jane.

Who is behind Jane?

I can't believe someone
would do that.

I know, right?

It's kind of fucked.

It's kind of awesome.

Good morning, ladies.

I'd like to talk
about what happened yesterday.

While I don't condone
Mrs. West's behavior,

I also do not condone tampering
with school computers,

publicly antagonizing teachers,
and most of all,

using a former student's
internet presence to do so.

Whoever is behind this,

needs to take a hard look
at themselves

and think
about how their actions

might have triggered people.

Our community is only as strong
as you make it.

Either one of you
volunteers information

or I will sit down
with everyone individually.

Olivia.

Well, we all saw the same thing
I think.

It seemed like someone
was playing a prank

with the projector.

It was rude,
but pretty harmless.

But-- but then,
Mrs. West started yelling

and grabbing
our personal belongings.

She really overreacted.

It was pretty scary to see
a teacher lose control

like that.

I don't know how
it got on Jane's page, though.

That was really upsetting.

Thank you for your honesty.

We never want our students
to feel unsafe.

Mrs. West is no longer a member
of our faculty.

However,
she was a well-regarded member

of our community
for over a decade.

It's my responsibility
to get to the bottom of this.

Hmm?

Wow!

Jane has 10,000 followers.

Wow, that--
that's a serious platform.

She'd be obsessed!

That wasn't really her thing.

If you say so.

So, who's next?

Did you see
what Jane just posted?

Early bird gets the worm!

-Alright!
-Hey.

Don't think I haven't noticed
all this hard work

you're puttin' in.

It's good
to have our captain back.

Thanks.

This one about Jenny is so sad.

"It's easy to make it look
like you have a boyfriend

when you crop their actual
girlfriend out

of the group photos."

Nice.

Wait, what?

I thought you wrote that?

Huh?

I'm pretty sure it wasn't me.

I know it wasn't me.

No one else has access to Jane,
right?

Of course not.

We changed her password.

I haven't told anyone.

Neither have I.

Okay.

Um, let's just think about this.

I remember you talking about
Jenny in the car last week.

Maybe you posted it then
without thinking.

Yes, whatever.

It's not even
that big of a deal.

Okay.

Um, why don't we just come up
with a rule

where we only post
when we're together?

It's more fun that way anyway,
right?

Sure.

Hey.

I-- I just decided this morning.

Congrats.

I didn't know
you were applying early, too.

Yeah, yeah,
it was super last minute.

Any news?

Deferred.

I really hope
we get to go together.

It's what she would have wanted.

Getting tough on teachers
will increase

the overall quality
of education,

and uh, and in turn
will provide a strong uh,

foundation for the growth
of our country.

Thank you.

In a unanimous decision,
we've decided to vote in favor

of the negation.

The Lynley School
wins the final round.

Hey,
how are we doing, Champ?

I'm okay.

Closing argument was bullshit.

Oh, hey, great job today, guys.

Really, I mean uh, I think
we know what we need to do

in order to get ready
for the National Qualifications,

yeah?

Yeah.

So let's just prep hard,
let's get it done.

Yeah.

Uh, before I let you go, though,

Principal Rhodes
asked the faculty

to talk to the students
about the whole Jane business.

Obviously, cyber bullying
is not cool

but this is a whole another
level of messed up.

So if it's bringin' up
anything difficult for you,

I'm here.

You know, I hope you guys
aren't mixed up

with this shit-- stuff.

So uh, okay.

That's it for today.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Hey.

I don't want things
to be weird again.

So uh, look what I snagged.

Can I come in?

Sure, come on.

Oh my God!

The basketball team!

Those uniforms
were not a good look.

No.

Remember--

How we would go
to the pizza parlor

across the street
and we'd shorten our skirts

just in case
we saw any cute boys.

That was just you and Jane.

Oh well, it was pathetic.

Hmm.

You have to come at this party
with me.

What party?

It's at Phil's house.

I don't wanna get into it,
but uh...

We broke up this week.

I'm so sorry.

I had no idea.

Look what I got you.

You can wear this.

Um...

-Wooh!
-Ooh.

Voilà.

-Hmm, it's cute.
-Um, I--

I-- I-- I don't think so.

Please, don't make me go alone.

Please, please.

Please, please, please, please.

Welcome.

I need a drink.

Josa knows Phil?

Uh,
she's always at these things.

Wait, what?

Fuck.

We literally just broke up.

Everyone thinks she's as sweet
and wholesome

as that character
she plays on her TV show,

but she's really not.

You know, the whole time
Phil and I were together,

she was flirting with him
and all the boys in his frat.

But you wanna know a secret?

She totally has a coke problem.

-No way.
-Yes way.

Fuck it.

We just need to go dance.

Let's have a good time, okay?

Okay.

Yeah, there you go.

There you go, come on.

It's okay.

Izzy, hey!

Oh my God!

Hey.

-Josa.
-You okay?

Um, yeah--

How about you mind
your own business?

Well, let me know
if you need anything.

Come on.

Come here.

Perfect.

Oh my God,

I cannot stand
how she's roamin' around here

acting like she's better
than everybody else.

Well, she's not.

It's so fake.

Tell that to Phil.

Maybe Jane could say something.

I wish.

No one would believe it.

She has too many fans.

We'd just look like
another stupid internet troll.

Whatever.

I'm just happy I won't have
to see any of them in the fall.

On a more fun note--

Do you want one?

What is that?

Molly.

-Since when do you--
-It's harmless.

It only lasts a few hours, okay?

And I usually don't,

but it seemed
like a special occasion.

Come on, don't be nervous!

It'll cheer us up
and give you enough energy

to get back up
on the dance floor.

Wait a minute!

What?

What if we slip some to Josa?

What?

Yeah.

It'll show everyone how she's
not so perfect.

No.

Really?

Damn.

Okay, Liv.

Okay.

Fuck.

One for you.

One for me.

And a little extra
for our guest of honor.

Yeah, I'm obsessed with you,
Josa.

No.

Yeah.

Can't stop watching the show.

Yeah, I know.

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry
for being such a bitch earlier.

Um, it's okay.

I was just really worried
about Olivia and I snapped.

I feel much better now.

Thank you for caring.

Um, do you want one?

I just really needed a break
from alcohol

and this is all I could find.

Thanks, I'm parched.

- Me, too.
- Yeah.

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

Oh yeah, that's so good.

Let's finish these up
and dance!

-Hmm, hmm, hmm.
-Yeah.

-Hmm, hmm.
-Yeah, yeah.

Hmm.

-Mm.
-Mm.

-Mmhmm.
-Mmhmm.

Come on.

♪ I love you, guys!

So much!

Tonight is fucking amazing!

My heart is racing.

Hey guys, is your heart racing?

I guess we danced a lot, huh?

Josa!

Josa, come here!

She's right, though,
this is amazing!

Oh no.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I'm really happy right now.

This is the happiest I've felt
in a really long time.

Same.

These past few months
have really sucked.

I know.

I really miss her.

Are you mad at me?

What?

No!

I love you.

I love you, too, but...

Are you mad at me?

I should have told you
about Stanford.

I just...

I wish you hadn't disappeared.

I didn't know what else to do.

Neither did I.

But before...

-You left us behind.
-I didn't leave.

I didn't leave.

I don't know,
let's just say

everything was changing

and I thought you guys
had each other.

I just want things
to go back to normal again.

Me, too.

I'm really happy we're friends
again.

-Yeah.
-Me, too.

I missed you, Izzy.

Call 911 or something.

Someone get help!

Yo, cut the music.

Call 911.

Josa?

Oh my God!

Help!

I don't know.

Let's get out of here.

Everybody, out!

Fuck, out!

Izzy.

Izzy?

- Oh my God.
- Oh, I'm sleeping.

No, you need to see this.

What the hell?

Why would you post this?

I didn't.

Then how did it end up there?

I-- I-- I really don't know.

We agreed not to post anything
after she got sick.

Uh, maybe you blacked out?

Where did that video
even come from?

We didn't film that shit.

- This is bad.
- Yeah.

You swear you didn't tell any
of your friends about Jane?

Of course not, I'm not an idiot!

Okay, well,
I didn't tell anyone either.

Obviously.

Okay, well,
if you didn't tell anyone

and I didn't tell anyone,
then who did?

I have no clue.

Okay.

Okay, um,

no more posting
until this blows over, okay?

Actually, we-- we should
just delete the whole profile.

Delete her?

It's not even her anymore.

Fine.

-It's not working.
-Give it to me.

It's done.

Um, I-- I have to go.

Text me later?

Hey hon, how was your night?

Fine.

You look awful.

Thanks, Mom.

You hungry?

I'm makin' your favorite.

Uh, I'm good.

I'm just gonna nap

and then power through
some college apps.

You should really soak up
whatever you drank

with some food.

By the way, Livi,
I got an email from your school.

Something about Jane
and a cyber-bully.

Parents have been asked
to notify your principal

if they see
or hear anything.

Is there anything
you wanna talk about?

No.

Well, make sure you stay away
from that stuff.

You know, last year a bunch
of kids lost

their college acceptances

because of dumb shit
they posted online.

It stays around forever,
it's not worth it.

But I know you know that.

How the hell could it
have possibly been reactivated?

I have no idea.

Attention, A block Seniors,

please report to the library
student lounge immediately.

It has come to my attention

that a serious incident
took place on Saturday evening

at a non-school affiliated event
attended by Greenwood students.

One of your classmates
has been hospitalized

after being slipped
150 milligrams

of the drug MDMA.

That student
is still in intensive care.

Obviously, this is a deeply
upsetting situation,

made worse by the fact that
footage of the attack was posted

by the Connect profile
known as "Jane".

An account I know you are all
familiar with.

Over the coming week,

I will sit down
with each and every one of you

to get to the bottom
of the video post,

as well as whoever is
manipulating the account.

I assure you severe consequences
will land on any student

who has hurt our community
or Jane's memory.

Bet Stanford won't take Josa
after this.

No, her parents can claim
she was drugged,

but I hope she applied
to a safety.

I can't believe
this is happening.

I keep trying to delete
the page over and over again,

it just keeps coming back.

It m-- it must be some kind of
glitch or something.

No, but that--

Let's just get our story
straight, okay?

Sure.

Um, okay.

Um, we-- we were at the party.

Um, we-- we hung out with Josa.

We didn't see
anything suspicious

and we-- we don't know anything
about who's using Jane, right?

Right.

I can't believe
I let you talk me into this.

We did this together.

Will see you tomorrow.

Olivia, come in.

Close the door behind you.

So far these interviews
have been incredibly helpful.

Mm, I'm so glad.

I'll dive right in.

Did you have any interaction
with Josa Jacobs

the night of the incident?

Um, I-- I spoke with her
briefly

earlier in the evening.

Um, and I was near her
when she started getting sick.

Oh.

Would you say you ladies
were close?

Not really.

Did you see anything
or anyone suspicious

at the party?

No.

It seemed like everyone
was supposed to be there.

Did you witness anyone drinking
or doing drugs?

Uh, there was alcohol.

I'm-- I'm not really sure
about anything else.

Mmhmm.

And how about anyone
who would want to harm Josa?

Any grudges, rivalries,
arguments?

You know,
no one's coming to mind.

Everyone really seems
to like her.

And have you ever had any
interaction with Jane's account?

Uh, not since she...

WOMAN 4
Is there something
you wanna tell me?

Anything else you wanna say?

No.

Olivia, your name has come up
a number of times

in these sessions,

and I know you and Jane
were very close,

and I'm sure this year has been
incredibly difficult for you,

but now is the time to speak up.

I swear
I don't know anything else.

Yeah, one moment.

I have to take this.

Hello.

Yes, it's a fine time.

We'll pick this up later.

Yeah.

Uh.

Uh, yeah.

Yes, the IP address responsible
for the account would be great.

Well, the beginning of next
week would be just fine.

Oh, really appreciate your help
and expertise...

What?

Olivia.

Olivia, you okay?

Olivia.

Feeling better?

Maybe it doesn't matter
if Rhodes gets the IP address.

Maybe not to you,
but if she does,

it'll lead her right here.

The first time
we used the account

was on my computer,
at my house.

Remember?

I logged in on mine, too.

We have to come clean.

No.

Yes.

They're gonna find out
anyways.

This way we can control
the story.

It's not too late.

I-- I'm sure that we can
figure something else out.

We can't keep digging
ourselves in this hole.

Maybe if we come clean,
they'll appreciate it

and they'll believe us

when we say
we had nothing to do with Josa.

Blame it on grief.

Say...

Say it got out of hand.

And then what?

You lose Stanford?

We-- we don't graduate?

That's interesting.

What?

Where's your router?

Mm, somewhere in my dad's office
I think.

-Why?
-Be right back.

What are you doing?

Everything's gonna be okay.

What?

-How?
-Your parents have a VPN.

What about the IP address?

When you have a VPN,
it hides your IP address.

They can't find us.

Are you sure?

100%.

Okay.

Okay, great.

I have to get ready
for this thing.

You should see yourself out.

Okay.

Thank you, Izzy,
you've been very helpful.

You're welcome.

Hello, Ladies.

Ah, just the one I want.
Just come with me.

-Oh!
-I'm so sorry.

No, no, it's okay.

No worries.

Hey, how is that letter
coming along?

-So far so good.
-Good.

Oh, s-- sorry.

Hi.

I um,
I didn't mean to scare you.

Uh, no, it's okay.

Hey, can I have
some black coffee, please?

Thanks.

-Hi.
-Hi.

What-- what are you doing here?

Oh, my-- my mom works
down the street.

Do you have a few minutes
to chat?

Um, not really.

I have to get to debate soon.

Right, but you have
like 10 minutes, right?

Please?

Sure, yeah.

I'm really glad I ran into you.

I've been wanting to apologize
for how I acted.

-Oh no, you don't have--
-No, no.

I was super shitty to you.

Honestly, I was dealing
with a lot of fucked up stuff.

But that-- that's not an excuse.

Especially,
''cause you were, too.

What?

I--
I learned the truth about Jane.

I'm so sorry.

I-- I can't imagine losing
a friend like that,

and at the beginning of
senior year.

Yeah, um, it's okay.

Thank you.

Uh, anyway um, how are you?

Like how's school?

I've been reading
about all this craziness.

Yeah, it's been pretty wild.

You know, I think I might have
been one of the first victims.

Yeah, whoever is using her
is the reason

why I got pulled out of school.

Are you sure?

Back home uh,
there was this teacher

who harassed me
for about a year.

Super inappropriate,
weird sexual stuff.

I told my parents about it,
they didn't believe me.

And then I went to the school
and they turned it

into this big thing.

Because there wasn't any
evidence,

he made it look
like I was lying.

He claims that I was infatuated
with him.

Which is insane.

But the school took his side.

Then my parents
made us move here and--

Yeah, they were too embarrassed
to stay in New York.

That's horrible.

Anyway, whoever it is
found out somehow

and accused me of doing
the same thing here.

And then my mom
saw the messages,

and yet again,
believed some stranger

over her own daughter.

So...

I'm so, so sorry.

Hey, it's not your fault, right?

Right?

What?

Oh, you have to get to debate,
right?

Yeah, thanks.

Hey,
it was really nice seeing you.

Stop!

Stop!

This isn't you.

Stop!

Hey, we need to talk.

What's up?

I just found out
Josa got into Stanford.

You didn't know that
before the party, did you?

No, I had no idea.

Hmm, okay, ''cause it just
seemed a bit coincidental.

What are you trying to say?

Nothing.

I just had to ask.

I'll see you around.

Oh my God.

First round starts in an hour,
okay?

Okay, I'ma let you all
get your cases together.

You got this.

Yeah?

Hey.

Everything okay?

Yeah.

Yeah?

Everything's great.

Okay.

Final Nat Quals!

I'm really proud of you
for rallyin' this year.

Thanks.

- Hi!
- You're a liar.

What do you mean?

You lied about the VPN.

I don't have a secure network.

I-- I--
I didn't lie about the VPN.

And I noticed you've been
deleting everything

you posted on Jane.

I-- I haven't deleted anything
I swear.

What are you doing, dude?

We're both in deep shit here,
so if you have a plan,

please clue me in.

Um, Izzy, we--
we don't need a plan.

Um, you--
you have a private network.

You know that's bullshit.

And you know what?

I think you're trying
to pin this all on me.

I just wanted to let you know
that I'm calling Rhodes now

and telling her everything.

Wait, Izzy, please.

Um, like can we
just talk about this?

I can come over
and we can figure out a plan

on how to come clean together,
okay?

It's too late.

Izzy?

What are you doin' here?

Hey, Iz.

You can't just show up
in my backyard anymore,

this is insane.

I know.

Um, can we please just talk?

There's nothing to talk about.

You tried to frame me.

Did you really think you'd
get away with that?

Just-- just let me explain.

You're pathetic.

The only person you care about
is yourself.

You were too self-absorbed
to even notice

Jane was depressed.

That's not fair.

You're a coward!

You abandoned us!

You really hurt her!

You have no idea
how she was feeling!

And then, where were you?

I needed you.

All you ever do
is hide behind Jane

instead of dealing
with your own problems!

I'm just happy I won't have
to see your ass at Stanford

in the fall.

You should leave.

What the fuck!

You fucking psycho!

Izzy.

Izzy?

Izzy.

Izzy!

Izzy!

Izzy!

Izzy.

Izzy.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no.

No, you wake up.

Come on.

Wake up.

Please, wake up.

Please, wake up.

Please.

Please.

Please!

No.

Oh, please.

What do I do?

Come on, come on.

Olivia!

There you are.

You're up.

Let's go.

To Nationals!

To Nationals!

Wooh!

- Oh my God.
- What?

- Poor Izzy.
- What is it?

Check Connect.

This can't be real.

Oh, Honey.

I am so sorry, Baby.

Honey, if you're up for it,

a few officers stopped by
to ask you some questions.

They're in the living room.

Okay.

-Okay?
-Yeah.

I know this is a really
difficult time.

We appreciate you being willing
to talk with us.

Did you notice any changes in
Isabelle's demeanour

last few weeks?

Any mood swings,
unusual behavior?

No.

I wish I could say I did.

We're all under a lot of stress
with college applications,

but Izzy seemed to be handling
it really well.

I guess I thought the same
thing about Jane.

Well, we can never really know
what's goin' on

in someone else's head.

Can you tell us a bit about
your friendship with Isabelle?

Yeah, um...

...we've been neighbors forever.

We used to be best friends
when we were younger.

We only became close again
recently.

I just can't believe she would
do this.

She had so many people
who loved her.

And what about your phone call
today?

It was logged
that she called you

shortly before her time
of death.

What did she say?

I was at a debate tournament.

She called me
to wish me good luck.

Oh, Sweetie,
don't

Thank you again for your help.

We're so sorry for your loss.

We may get in touch again
as we learn more.

I'll walk you out.

It's always a tragedy
to lose someone so young

and full of potential.

And to have it happen twice
in one year

is truly devastating.

Isabelle was
such a special young woman

and I know
we'll all miss her dearly.

As for our current students,
there is always another option.

We're here for you.

And we'll be providing
mandatory grief counseling

over the coming weeks.

This stops here.

Now let's take a moment
of silence for Izzy.

Dear Stanford Admissions
Committee,

thank you for taking the time
to reconsider my application

following my deferral.

I could tell you how much I've
always wanted to go to Stanford,

how committed I am
to academic excellence,

and how much time I've put into
extracurricular activities,

but you already know all that.

Instead, I'd like to talk
about my best friend,

Isabelle Morris.

Izzy was not only
an intelligent, driven woman,

but she had
an undeniable charisma

and an amazing ability
to bring people together.

She taught me how to look
beyond my GPA

and to connect
with those around me.

Izzy took her own life.

I don't know why she did it.

I don't know what
I could have done to prevent it.

But what I do know is
that she left an indelible mark

upon my world.

When I first applied,
I put down "Undeclared"

on my application.

Despite my extensive resume,
I had no idea

what I wanted to do
with my life.

Now I do.

I want to help people
like Izzy.

I want to study mental health.

I want to be there for others
in the same way

that Izzy was there for me.

I wasn't really living my life

until she took me
under her wing.

I vow to continue Izzy's legacy.

Thank you for your time
and consideration.

Sincerely, Olivia Brooks.
