T@gged (2016–…): Season 2, Episode 4 - Nicki - full transcript

Rowan searches Brandon's house for anything to support her nagging speculation, Hawk pushes Hailey to snap out of her apathetic haze, and the Zoo threatens a new target.

- Previously on "T@gged"...

You made this profile
making fun of all of these guys?

- That's really mean.

- Nicki and I thought
it was funny.

- I'm here for tutoring.

- Hi.
Hawk.

What subject are you
in here for?

- I'm only here
because it's mandatory.

I didn't think
you were talking to me.

- I'm not.

- Do you know why
she's mad at me?



- We were all scared for you,
that night at the hospital.

We thought you were dead.

- Have you ever thought about
running away?

- Why are you so pissed?

- You and Jake, really?

You're not my friend!

- You're acting like a child,

so I'm gonna treat you
like a child.

- Aah!
- Elisia?

- I'll pay whatever you want.
- I don't sell anymore.

- I got a video last night

from m0nk3ym4nn.

I was wondering if

I could get some information



on a former student?

- Dunbar Rakes.
Again?

- I think about him sometimes.

What does this look like to you?

- Locker combo?

- I know Brandon's your friend,

but it really could be him.

It could be Trevor, too.

Will you just send me a pin
to his address?

What happened to her?

- Ends all this, right?

[dramatic music]

- Ash?

but your performance
on yesterday's pop quiz?

What can I say?

Pathetic.

Now study tonight.
Okay, guys?

You gotta put down
the cell phones.

[school bell rings]

Chapter eight.

You never know when
another pop quiz will strike.

Simplifying rational expressions

and solving rational equations.

It's fun stuff.

Hey, Hawk.



Pretty good.

- Did you do the homework?

- No.
- What do you mean "no"?

- I thought it was...
suggested.

- It was not suggested.

What,
do you want to redo junior year

or something?

- I wish I could.

- No, I mean like,
actually

redo it and do it
again and again

until you get it right.

All of your friends are
gonna graduate,

and what, you just fail out?

- Doesn't matter.

I'll be gone before senior year.

- What, are you actually
gonna drop out?

Is that what you're saying?

[laughs]

You are such a cliché.

Can I ask you a question?

What do you like to do?

- What do you mean?

- Like, I like to paint.

But I love to draw.
Like, I live...to draw.

[dramatic music]



So?

What do you live for?

- What's your point?

- You have to be good
at something.

You got to like something.

So what's your thing, Hailey?

- I don't know.

- Well, it is imperative

that you figure that out.

I mean, that is the singular,
most important thing

that you do right now,

way more important than
Algebra II

or American History.

That's for damn sure.

Just...wake the hell up.

Dunbar Rakes.

[sighs]

I'm a bad guy, Rowan.

All right?



Stay away from me.



[chuckles]



[train passing, blowing horn]

[electronic music playing]



- Hailey, wait up.

- Hey, Ash.

What's up?

- You look good.

- Thanks.

You're not selling anymore,
are you?

- No.

But you're not using, right?

- No.



- Shouldn't have
sold you those pills.

- You didn't know
what I was gonna do with them.

I didn't even know
what I was going to do.

- Really freaked me out, bro.

Freaked Elisia out, too.

- She's so mad at me right now.

- [laughs softly]
Dude, she's pissed

at everyone right now.

She can't afford
to lose anyone else, right?

Anyway,
that's why I stopped selling.

You know, if you had actually...

you know...

I don't think
I could live with myself.

- It wasn't about you.

- Yes, it was.

You made it about me.

You made it about Elisia,

about Rowan,

about your mom.



- Shit.

[distant chatter, laughter]

- I know she's pissed.

But don't give up on Elisia,

even if she pushes you away.

I haven't.



Look, uh...your boy, Sean.

- Yeah.

- Elisia told me
he cried at school

When he heard about you.

- Really?

- Look, uh...

don't tell her I talked to you.

- I can keep a secret.

You little bitch.

It was good to see you.

Just a bag of weed.

- What are you doing here?

the same thing.

[solemn music]



- I thought Dunbar's mom
still lived here,

so I just wanted to
ask her a few questions.

- She moved away pretty quickly.



I bet it was too hard
for her to stay.

I think this was probably
his bedroom.

It's the smallest one.



- How long have you been
coming here?

- Couple months.

- How?

I've been looking for
this address for a while.

- Dunbar tried out
for a play once,

and I had personal files
on everyone who auditioned.

- "Romeo and Juliet"?

- How'd you know?

[tense music]

- What do you know about
that night at your party?

- I heard that
Dunbar had a crush on you.

That he was crazy.

And he pointed a gun at you
back there.

I can't even imagine.

Then I realized why
I remembered his name.

He tried out for Romeo.



Did Hailey tell you about
this page we made?

It's so messed up.

I made it private so
no one can see it now, but...

I watch his audition sometimes.

♪ ♪

- Is that why you come here?

Did you ever get messages
from someone named m0nk3ym4nn?

- No.
Why?

♪ ♪

- What's with the uniform?

- My mom, she makes me
take portraits every year.

She made me wear this
even though I quit the team.

[both laugh softly]

♪ ♪

Those are my favorite flowers.

No matter where you plant them,

they spread.

Almost like a vine.

Tough little babies.

- Did you move?

After the party?

- No.

We were gonna move,

but my parents travel
all the time,

so they don't care.
They had the wall repainted,

but I swear I can still
see a stain through the paint.



My brother still sleeps
in that room.

I come here a lot, actually.



- Is this yours?

- Where'd you get that?

- Did you follow me
to the cemetery?

- No.



- You visit Dunbar's grave.

Why?

- Why do you?

Seriously, why?



See you around, Rowan.
