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

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

BRANDON: Did you get the mask?

Be careful.

WOMAN: This is Tessa Mitchell,
Nicki Sullivan's cousin.

TESSA: We all have to
be more careful

about what we put online,

and whose life it may ruin.

- What are you doing?
- Recon.

Hailey's been hanging
with that blowtard Hawk.

- Look, I obviously know
what a piece of shit

you were to Nicki,
but I need to know



if anything's
going on with her.

- Let it go, Tessa.

- I know that you move on
really easily.

Some of us don't.

ROWAN: I got an email
from Hailey.

- "You're strong. I'm not.
I have to go."

If we can end it,
then she can come back.

- I need you.

ELISIA: What'd you find?

- Nothing. It's like
Zoe Desaul didn't exist.

ROWAN: Well, then
it's a really good thing

it's easy to swipe personal
files from the admin office.

- Do you know a chick
named Zoe Desaul?

[blow lands]
MAN: Zoe has a boyfriend.



Stop asking about her!

- I don't want you anymore.

ROWAN: He'll be so
excited to see you.

ELISIA: I feel like I haven't
seen him in forever.

[elevator dings]

I definitely saw Zoe
at the dance studio.

ROWAN: Yeah, but why
was Sean there?

Irritability,
change in appearance,

withdrawal from activities,

I don't know if Nicki
was going through any of this.

- Did you know, uh,
Dunbar Rakes?

They're for people who want

They're called "empties."

- Who is Mr. Empty?

online urban legend.

ELISIA: There are
these sites where

people make up
the most horrifying creatures

and write stories about them.

You've definitely
seen stuff online.

[spooky music]

Mr. Empty is the most famous.

- Of course, you're the one

dark, sinister shit.

[phone buzzing]

Sorry.

Hello?

Yeah.

Hang on.

ROWAN: I didn't want to say
anything in front of Ash,

but what exactly happened?

- He said the surgeries,
all three of them,

went well,

but now it's just
a waiting game.

Doctors were able
to stabilize his spine

in the lowest part of his back

where the bullet was lodged,

but they say it's
almost impossible to predict

whether sensation
and motor functions will return

until the swelling goes down
and he begins rehab.

- Are you okay?

- I'm just so happy he's alive.

[gentle ambient music]

So, um, what's the next step?

- Trying to figure out
why Sean was at Zoe's house.

- You're right.

Sean keeps popping up

everywhere Zoe's
supposed to be.

- And the only thing that
Zoe and Sean have in common

is camp.

Hold up.
There was something.

A letter in Zoe's file
that said something about

Zoe transferring
because of a cousin.

You guys talk to Hailey at all?
