T@gged (2016–…): Season 3, Episode 8 - Mirror Image - full transcript
The girls interrogate Jai to figure out what she's hiding.
MAN: Previously on "T@gged"...
- No, this is about us.
- You lied to me!
- Zoe found my little sister.
- Zoe's dead.
Murdered a couple nights ago.
- Are you and Ash together?
ELISIA: I think he's in love
with someone else.
And what about you?
- No girlfriend here.
ELISIA: Jai had a photo
of me at the grotto
the night Ash got shot.
Maybe she shot Ash.
- We have to go back
to Jai's house.
We need to search it and
find out what she's hiding.
- Hey! Why are you here?
- Help!
- Brandon knows how
to find KingCobra.
- While you fraternal twins
scour the Internet
for Mr. Empty, Sean and I
are gonna find Lance Broadly.
- We are?
- Mr. Empty sent a time
and a place, and he doesn't
know that Zoe's dead.
[tense music]
He wants to meet.
WOMAN: I tagged you guys.
[thunder rumbling]
[tense music]
♪ ♪
ROWAN: What are you doing here?
- Some skate bitches told us
that Lance Broadly works here.
- What, stuffing dead animals?
Ah, shit just keeps
getting weirder.
- Okay, well, Trevor decoded
a message from Mr. Empty
on the missed connections site
asking Zoe to meet him here.
So obviously Mr. Empty
doesn't know that Zoe's dead.
- So both of our searches
led us here.
- Which means Mr. Empty
and Lance Broadly
are the same person.
- So Mr. Empty, AKA Lance
Broadly, was Zoe's boyfriend?
- Maybe he was
Dunbar's friend, too.
Maybe that's why
he's doing this.
- Okay, um, when
was the last time
any of you guys went to camp?
- Two summers ago.
I didn't go this past summer.
- Yeah, me either.
- I did.
- Was Dunbar there?
Who was he hanging out with?
- Mostly just by himself.
Or with Hawk a little bit.
- Hawk?
- Yeah, Hawk hung out
with Alison,
and Alison was at the bonfire.
- Ali was at camp this summer.
I mean, she's friends with Zoe.
They went to school together.
- Okay, well, this all keeps
coming back to camp somehow,
so did something happen
at camp?
- There was some drama with Zoe
and some of the older guys.
The counselors.
I think she was mad that
this guy David didn't like her,
so she started a rumor
that he did something to her.
I don't know.
[phone chimes]
It's Elisia.
I--I gotta go.
[doorbell chimes]
- Hey.
[thunder rumbles]
ROWAN: What did you two do?
ELISIA: She has the masks.
TESSA: She knows something
about Nicki.
JAI: Untie me, please.
- Are you a part of the Zoo?
- No.
Fine, I was.
It all started with a video.
KingCobra used it
to blackmail me.
- What is it?
- Nicki recorded it
without me knowing.
It happened in the bathroom
after cheer.
She was the only one there.
It was sent to me
from an unknown number,
so I confronted her about it.
We fought about it,
and she denied it.
So I went on the Zoo website
to vent.
And that's when I started
chatting with KingCobra,
who said I can get even
with Nicki,
and that's where
I got the masks.
[thunder crashes]
- I have a lighter.
- Untie me, please.
- What did you do
for KingCobra?
- Stupid shit.
I lit a mannequin in fire
in Nicki's backyard
just to scare her.
- What else?
- I followed you
the night Ash was shot.
I mean, KingCobra knew
you were faking your death,
but I had nothing to do
with what happened to Ash.
The idea behind Mr. Empty
is he drives you crazy.
He doesn't have to hurt you
because you'll hurt yourselves
when he's done with you.
He'll scare you
through your phone,
your computer,
to the point where
you'll give up everything
just to get away.
- Just like Hailey.
That's why she had a red X
over her picture at Zoe's.
- He scared her away.
- You pushed me in the pool.
- No, I didn't.
I saved you.
- You texted me saying
to meet you in your backyard.
- No, I didn't.
I don't even have your number.
I didn't want to be there
when you woke up
because I didn't know how
to convince you
it wasn't me
who pushed you in.
That night KingCobra
sent me my video
and said if I didn't
keep my mouth shut,
then everyone would
know my secret.
If that video gets out,
my life...
it'll be over.
- We all have secrets.
- Why did you have that video
of Nicki burning down my house?
- I don't know.
It was sent to me,
but I don't know why.
[gentle music]
♪ ♪
- Look at us.
We're no different
from the Zoo.
Monkeyman kidnapped me, and
now we're holding her hostage?
We're just as bad as them.
I'm just as bad as Nicki.
I don't blame her anymore.
For lighting that match.
[thunder rumbles]
We're all their puppets.
- Hey, what's the name of
that school down the street?
- Montgomery?
Prep school brats.
- My sister's
a freshman there.
- Since when do you have
a sister?
- Well, the state took her
away from my mom,
and I lost track of her
when I ran away.
Last time I saw her,
she was eight.
- Well, you should go say hi.
- Ah, I don't know, man.
- It's just down
the street, right?
Go.
BRANDON: Dude, you gonna
finish that?
TREVOR: Go for it.
- I've never seen you
turn down a burger before.
Hey, you know
it's Monday, right?
School and...
- Screw that.
- Okay.
And when was the last time
that you showered?
- Yesterday.
With your mom.
- Oh, okay, that's where she's
been for the past ten years.

good to you.

Like, late at night in bed
or, like, in the morning
in the shower.
"Brandon!"

It wasn't all that.
Screw you.
Dude, I know it's five o'clock
somewhere, but really?
Come on.
- Dude.
[phone chimes]
- Another missed connections
post from Mr. Empty.
You ready to crack
another code?
- Okay, so what should
I do to help?
- Can you send a message
to KingCobra?
- That's not really
how it works.
I don't give messages,
I get them.
[phone chimes]
- Who is it?
- It's that chick Alison.
She will not stop texting me.
[phone chimes]
She says that Mr. Empty knows
that she talked to me.
- If it's not Jai
and it's not Sean,
then I think it's Hawk.
Okay, he was at camp
with Zoe and Alison,
and he's still
hanging out with Alison,
and she was at the bonfire.

My parents. Do you think
they're gonna find out?

Hey, look at me.
Look at me, I'm here for you.
Okay? I'm gonna be there

You're not alone. Okay?

- Hawk.
Are you a part of the Zoo?
- What does that even mean?
- You hang out with Alison,
and she's a part of it.
You graded this test,
and you used a red pen.
Why would you write
the Zoo all over it?
- Okay, what is this, a joke?
- You know, I thought
if Hailey saw something in you,
then maybe you'd
be honest with me.
- I didn't grade this.
It's just not my handwriting.
Look, Ali and I are friend,
but I have no idea
what you're talking about.
What's going on?
What is the zoo?
- Never mind.

is this about Hailey?
TREVOR: So the Mr. Empty
post said,
"Train station locker,
number 640."
What do you think
we're gonna find?
Another library book
and more taxidermy?
- How the hell
did you even crack

We used to write messages

They don't get back in town

it would be better
to tell them over the phone

seen the video.

I didn't realize there was
a difference until now.
I can't help you guys though.
KingCobra knows I'm a rat.

Please, Stinger, please try

Dude, where have you been?

ROWAN: We have to find him.
Can you track him
with his phone?

They didn't strip the geotag,
which makes it super easy.
Almost too easy.
They're at
a taxidermy warehouse?

everything, okay?
- Gotta let me explain, okay?
Um...
KingCobra told me
to send Nicki that video
of her burning the house down
and to tell her that
we were gonna release it
to the whole school
and her family and the cops,
and so I did.
I ruined her life
by hitting send.
The next day,
KingCobra told me
that Nicki killed two people
in that fire,
but I didn't know that.
I didn't know what I was
basically sending Nicki
was a death sentence.
- So you didn't kill her.
Right? 'Cause you
didn't know about it, right?
- Yeah, right, right.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Are you okay?
Okay, sit down.
It's okay, breathe.
Okay.
There's something else
I need to tell you.
That night
I went to Nicki's house
because I wanted
to apologize.
But when I got there,
someone else was already there,
so I left because I thought--
- Who was there?
- Sean.

- Brandon.
Brandon's in trouble.
Please, Stinger, please try
and find him with that video.
Dude, where have you been?
I called you a hundred times.
- I'm sorry.
[phone beeps]
ROWAN: We have to find him.
Can you track him
with his phone?
- Do you one better.
Scanning the metadata
on the video right now.
They didn't strip the geotag,
which makes it super easy.
Almost too easy.
They're at
a taxidermy warehouse?
[foreboding music]
- I need you tell me
everything, okay?
- Gotta let me explain, okay?
Um...
KingCobra told me
to send Nicki that video
of her burning the house down
and to tell her that
we were gonna release it
to the whole school
and her family and the cops,
and so I did.
I ruined her life
by hitting send.
The next day,
KingCobra told me
that Nicki killed two people
in that fire,
but I didn't know that.
I didn't know what I was
basically sending Nicki
was a death sentence.
- So you didn't kill her.
Right? 'Cause you
didn't know about it, right?
- Yeah, right, right.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Are you okay?
Okay, sit down.
It's okay, breathe.
Okay.
There's something else
I need to tell you.
That night
I went to Nicki's house
because I wanted
to apologize.
But when I got there,
someone else was already there,
so I left because I thought--
- Who was there?
- Sean.

ROWAN: Why would they
bring Brandon here?

What does that mean?
