T@gged (2016–…): Season 3, Episode 12 - Surrender - full transcript

Rowan and Elisia learn that listening to a friend when they need you and leaning on family when you need them is not a sign of weakness but a sign of courage and strength.

ROWAN: Previously on
"T@gged"...

- It is tragic that
we've lost two students

to suicide this semester.

There are several
warning signs for suicide.

ROWAN: I wonder
if he was showing signs

but no one was looking.

- You know what the last thing
he said to me was?

- I'll see you later.

- Nicki wrote me an apology

the same day
that I got that video,

but it just cuts off
in the middle of it.



TESSA: Like she
was interrupted.

- So I went to her house
and I let myself in...

WOMAN: You're wrong!

- You know what's
on this drive?

Information about Olive.
Zoe found my little sister.

TREVOR: I know you're
doing this because of Rowan.

- No, I'm not.
- Yes, you are.

You're in love with her.

- So are you into any girls
at school?

SEAN: I know about that night,
with you and Brandon.

- Dude, I know it's
5:00 somewhere, but really?

Come on, man.

- Hey, did you guys ever
find anything on the VHS tape?

BRANDON: I think it might
be a code or a message,



but I can't figure it out.

- KingCobra's just a name.

- Are there more of you?

- There will always
be more of us.

ROWAN: Hawk got a text
this morning from Zoe D.

We have to go
to Camp Terrerro.

- The rumors about me
and what I would do spread.

Hawk's probably the only one
that actually

never had anything
to do with any of this.

I think I just
watched Hawk die.

You know, it's a lot easier
to stab someone

than you'd think.

I'm gonna enjoy watching
you two die.

[muffled screaming]

[clattering]
Hawk.

Shut up!

- You have to hide
behind a mask.

We would die for each other.
We're family.

You can't stop us
from trying to be better.

- Yes, I can.

♪ ♪

- Hey, Ash.

Guess what, little girl
is not really your sister.

Just some random kid I found
to split you and Elisia up.

You sister's long gone,
darling.

Mwah!

[indistinct radio chatter]

- How'd you know we were here?

- We figured out
the VHS tape.

It was a message about camp.

I was worried that you might
have come up here,

so I didn't want to take
any more chances.

And, Jake,
he called your dad.

- And the masks?

When you hide your face,

no one knows
which side you're on.

Rowan, I know why
you framed me

and why you got me
locked up

and kicked out of school,
I get it.

You were protecting
Elisia and Hailey.

You protect the ones
that you love.

I do, too.

That's why I'm here.

- I wanted you guys to know
that it was Sean

that interrupted Nicki
that night.

- Yeah, she was writing
a note when I walked in.

- She told him that
there was another video.

One that could ruin her life.

That's why she did it.

Uh, Nicki's mom
gave me her phone

so I could look through
her pictures.

She would have wanted
you guys to see this.

It's a video that
she made for Hailey

right after Hailey overdosed.

When she was in rehab.

- Hey, Hailey, I don't even
know why I'm doing this.

You've been gone
for, like, a week,

but it feels like a year.

I don't even know how
I'm gonna send this to you,

but I've been thinking a lot.

It's been a strange
couple of days,

and I don't really
feel like myself.

You know, obviously
I'm totally freaked out

because of what happened
at my party,

but then also you took
all those pills,

and I just started wondering:

what's the point of it?

You know, I wanted
to make a video reminding you

and also me
what's so great

about this stupid life.

Um, I actually made a list.

When I feel
this epic loneliness,

which is an awful feeling
by the way,

I can watch this and remind
myself how to be happy.

MAN: ♪ Cold bones ♪

♪ Yeah that's my love ♪

NICKI: First thing on
my list is friendship.

The key to happiness
is finding your tribe.

Cherish the real ones.

The ones who never judge you.

The ones who know the real you
but still stick around.

But don't forget
that friends can surprise you,

'cause we didn't
like each other at first.

Yeah, you just--
you gotta be patient.

Great things can happen.

The second item is family.

Family is--is annoying,

and they're a lot.

- I look up to you, little sis.
I'm proud of you.

You've always had
this deep sense

of what's right and wrong.

Hang on to that.

♪ ♪

I missed you.
- I missed you.

NICKI: You know, and sometimes
it's not the family

that you were born with,
but that's okay.

You can find your family.

At the end of the day,
they are yours,

and you are theirs.

And remember that
we're still so young,

and it's--it's totally
okay to need your mom.

♪ ♪

I mean, family can save you

MAN: ♪ If you're scared ♪

NICKI: I think--
I think it's out there,

I think if I'm patient

MAN: ♪ Did you run away,

NICKI: You know what I think
the most important thing is?

Is to love yourself first.

And I don't think
you can find true love

until you fall truly,
deeply, madly for you.

BRANDON: I enrolled
in boarding school.

- You did?

- I wanna finish high school.

I made a deal with my dad.

Some beautiful babe
once reminded me

that I have choices in my life.

NICKI: I don't know how to

I just feel like quitting,

but I don't know.

Life is so shitty,

It is so easy to hide
behind the small things,

our phones, our computers,
all this bullshit.

Happiness is people

and laughter and late nights,

even mistakes,

and kisses and crying,

It's worth it.
