Catfish Killer (2022) Movie Script
[dramatic music]
[music continues]
[music continues]
Hey, sweetie. Don't forget
your lunch is in the fridge.
Mom, how long are you gonna keep
This acceptance letter up?
Oh, until the frame I
ordered for it comes.
You're joking.
What?
I can't be excited
that my daughter
Got accepted into
an ivy league school?
Of course you can, but we
don't even know if I'm going yet.
'they haven't announced
the winner of the scholarship.'
Come on, honey.
You're a shoe in.
And besides there's not
that much competition.
It's just the other students
who got into kenzer.
Six other students
that I know of
That all have similar
gpa and resumes to mine.
That may be true, but they
don't have your character.
You're have to say
that. You're my mom.
(marianne) doesn't
make it any less true.
(hanna) 'well, if I don't
get it, staying in state'
'and going to palm vista
with scott wouldn't be so bad.'
'we have done everything
together since we were 5'
'so, why should
college be any different?'
Okay, if by chance
Some grave miscarriage
of justice happens
And you don't get
the full scholarship
I will find a way.
I don't want financial aid, mom.
We talked about this.
It's not gonna come
close to covering it all.
We'll take out a second
mortgage on the house.
Or I'll work extra
shifts till I'm 50.
You are going to your
dream school, okay?
Just have to have faith.
Okay.
[car horn honking]
That's scott, I gotta go.
Oh, here. Don't forget this.
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
- Love you.
- I love you.
[upbeat music]
God, I love your mom.
How did your study date go?
That good, huh?
[laughs]
- 'so, nice sunglasses.'
- 'what?'
(hannah) 'looking to work some
magic with the ladies today?'
(scott) 'I-I mean, yeah.
Maybe. I don't know.'
'shut up.'
You're too picky.
Hey, there's nothing
wrong with having standards.
No, there's not,
but there's not a girl
On this planet that's
gonna meet yours.
Of course, there is.
I'll see ya.
[indistinct chattering]
Hannah, principal edwards
wants to see you in her office.
[instrumental music]
Sorry to keep you waiting.
- Have a seat.
- Is everything okay?
[sighs] well..
As you know, one of our
school's most prestigious alums
Elaine hemmingsworth,
funds a scholarship each year
Through her foundation, and
awards it to one of our seniors.
This year was the toughest
competition we have ever seen.
There were 11 students
who were eligible
And it was a very,
very close race.
So no one should
feel like they're lost
Because just getting accepted
to kenzer university is a huge win.
Yeah, I-I understand.
That being said, I am
pleased to inform you
That her foundation
has named you
As the scholarship recipient.
What?
- Oh, my gosh! Thank you!
- Congratulations.
Oh, my god. Hannah.
I'm so proud of you.
- That's amazing!
- Thanks.
Honestly, feels like a
huge weight has been lifted.
I didn't think I'd
be able to go.
What are you gossiping about?
Hannah. She got the
hemmingsworth scholarship.
- What? Are you kidding me?
- Mm-hmm.
- That's so awesome.
- Thanks.
I mean, it's not awesome
that you're abandoning me.
Oh, my gosh, I'm
not abandoning you.
We'll keep in touch.
I know. I'm just
messin' with ya.
At least, I'll still
have jane to torture.
Yeah, thank god my mom died
Just in time for me to be
hannah's replacement for you.
- That's not what I meant.
- I'm kidding, scott.
It's just a little
dead parent humor.
That's what you get
for thinking I'm gonna be
At your beck and call
for the next four years.
I thought you liked palm vista?
I do, but I'm still waiting
To hear back from
my other choices
Including my
parent's alma mater.
Okay. Well, what's
your top choice?
I don't wanna say 'cause
I don't wanna jinx it.
And I don't even know if I'm
gonna be able to afford it, so..
Well, when you do get
in, which I know you will
Let us know and
we'll celebrate it!
Deal! Speaking of celebrating.
Let's go out tonight to
celebrate your big news.
- Okay. Sounds good.
- Yeah?
Yeah.
(hannah) 'mom, mom,
mom, mom, mom!'
- I got the scholarship.
- You did it!
I told you, you'd get it, right.
Oh! Who is that?
- Hi.
- Hi, um..
I'm josh, I'm your new neighbor.
Oh, yeah, hi, I'm marianne davis
And this is my daughter hannah.
Good to meet you both, um..
Nice to meet you.
I was told there's a package...
Oh, my gosh, yes.
It's right here, actually.
It came few weeks
ago before I moved in.
- Wonderful.
- Yeah.
It's great, um..
Well, I don't wanna take
up too much of your time.
Uh, it's a pleasure
meeting you both.
Um..
If you ever need anything,
just right there reach out.
- Great. Thanks. Same.
- Yeah. Okay.
- Bye.
- Bye. Bye.
He was nice.
Mm-hmm.
What?
No, nothing.
What is that look?
[upbeat music]
Watch how it's done, ladies.
Wow. Yeah. That was a good
one, you gotta teach me that.
- My hand slipped.
- Right.
Jane, are you buying this?
- Jane? What do you mean what?
- What?
You've been glued to your
phone since we got here.
Sorry, I overheard
some kids at school today
Talking about
this new clique app
So I decided to check it out.
And it's totally addicting.
Clique? What's
that? A dating site?
No. It's so much
better than a dating site.
It's like, it's like a-a
chat room for people
That talk through forums
Or as the app
calls them "cliques."
Where you can talk
about specific interests like
Music, hobbies, sports.
And they have cliques
different colleges too
So you can to people
before you even go there.
Wait, that's a good idea.
Do they have one for kenzer?
Oh, I'm sure they
do, but let me check.
Yeah. See. They do,
you should totally join.
- So cool.
- Hey, I have an idea.
(scott) 'instead of trying
to find friends online'
How about you both
put down your phones
And attention to the
amazing friend that is standing
Right in front of you,
waiting for you to bowl.
'it's your turn. Come on.'
Here, give me your phone.
I'll download it for you.
Thanks.
Now that, I believe,
is how it's done.
No, please.
Don't stop on my account.
You've got nice moves, davis.
And that's what
you get for gloating.
- You're up, jane.
- Here.
I created the username for you.
And I used your
usual profile pic.
You've got to be kidding me.
"all the good names r taken?"
- Seriously, jane.
- What?
I knew you'd pick
something totally boring
And you gotta grab
people's attention
With something
a little more fun.
Whatever. I'm changing it.
No! It's a conversation
starter, okay.
Just trust me.
Okay, fine, I'll
keep it for now.
[laughs]
Now that is how it's done.
[eerie music]
[hannah panting]
[hannah shrieks]
Eli? You scared
the crap out of me.
I thought someone
was chasing me.
Oh, right. You sure you weren't
running because you're a coward
And just didn't want to face me?
What are you talking about?
Don't play coy. You know
what I'm talking about.
The scholarship.
Principal edwards told
me that I was the runner up
Which we both know isn't fair.
I have a higher gpa than you.
I have a 4.0, just like you.
Yeah, but you don't
take ap calculus like I do.
Other schools weight
the classes different...
That's one class.
The scholarship is based
on more than academics.
- You and I both know that.
- Oh.
Right, so, you think you're
a better person than me too?
You think just because
you're a brown noser
Who sucks up to the teachers,
that makes you more deserving..
Hey, man, mind
your own business.
This is my business, eli.
I think it's time for
you to get outta here.
Eli, just go.
Not a chance, sweetheart.
We both know the
winner isn't set in stone yet
And I've worked
too hard for this.
Are you threatening her?
Yeah, what if I am?
What are you gonna
do about it, huh?
Scott, I can handle it.
That's what I thought.
So whipped.
You'll never be anything
More than her friend, right?
- Scott, no! Let it go.
- Scott, no! Let it go.
Are you okay?
What a jerk!
You good?
It's been a minute
since I found someone
who makes me wanna
know a thing about love
but oh my god I'm
seeing stars with you
I tend to keep
myself from diving in
I got fed up with
the sink or swim
but oh my god I'm
falling hard for you
I keep on waiting for
the hurricane to come
and wash the magic
that you brought away
but somehow all the colors
just keep getting brighter
yeah I'm feeling it
more every day I think I'm
hooked on you
baby you're golden
time moves I never notice
just can't get enough
got me wonderstruck
I knew the second I met ya
I was doomed
to never forget ya
just one single touch
got me wonderstruck
[instrumental music]
ah now I'm dying
when you call me yours
pour my heart out
on the kitchen floor
'cause oh my god I'm
seeing stars with you
where did this come from?
Lightning in my lungs
oh my god don't
you ever stop..
Doubling up on the coffee, huh?
[cell phone chimes]
Who's that?
- A new friend I met.
- From last night?
(hannah) 'kinda.'
Jane showed me this
new app called clique.
And there was a kenzer
clique, so I joined it
And I met this guy named james.
He's starting in the fall and
he's gonna be prelaw too.
Hannah, come on,
you know how I feel
About you talking
to people online.
I mean, your friends
are one thing, but, uh
Total stranger in a chat room...
A kenzer university
chat room, mom.
Still, you know
anything about them...
Relax, I'm not gonna give him
my phone number or my address
Or even my last name.
He doesn't even live here,
so I'm not gonna meet him
Until I'm actually at kenzer.
Which really wouldn't
be any different
Than just meeting him on campus.
Everyone is a stranger until
you get to know them, mom.
[car horn honks]
Oh, I gotta go.
[upbeat music]
(greg) 'get out of the
car. I'll talk about this..'
(jane) 'yeah, you never
wanna talk about this.'
(greg) 'I don't wanna
talk about it, I'm busy!'
- Get outta the car...
- I can't stand you, greg!
(greg) fantastic! We're
on the same page.
Have a great day!
- Hey, guys.
- Hey.
How come your
dad drove you today?
Greg is not my dad! He's my
stepfather, and he's an asshole.
Well, he can't be that bad,
he gave you a ride to school.
No, trust me. He is.
The only reason he adopted me
Is because my mom wanted him to
And then when she died
Let's just say we're both
counting down the days
Until I turn 18.
Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry.
No, you're good,
that was my bad.
Um, I'm actually
glad I ran into you.
- You are?
- Yeah.
I wanted to congratulate you.
I heard you won
that scholarship.
- Oh, yeah. Thanks.
- Yeah.
I'm actually going to school
on the east coast too, you know.
- 'really? Where?'
- 'hudson university.'
So, we'll basically
be neighbors.
Cool.
I'm so sorry. I, I gotta go.
Oh, it's alright.
I'll see you later.
Hey, what's the big emergency?
Oh.. False alarm. Sorry.
I thought I was
gonna have to borrow
Your history book
for class, but..
I found mine.
I gotta go.
[instrumental music]
(jane) 'you know why
he told you he's going'
To hudson university, right?
- He's interested in you.
- 'what?'
- No, he's not!
- Yes, he is.
- He's with lexi.
- Correction.
Was with lexi.
I heard they broke
up like, two weeks ago.
Wait, really? Why?
I don't know. Who cares?
But now you can be with him.
- You're crazy.
- No. I'm observant. Thank you.
And I'm sure if mr. Poor
timing over here didn't
Ruined the moment, he probably
would have asked you out.
Hey! My timing is perfect,
thank you very much
'cause hannah can do
way better than kevin.
(scott) 'he isn't
even her type.'
Right. Handsome, charming, rich.
What else could
she possibly want?
I'm not even his type, anyway.
I'm the anti-thesis of lexi.
Well, that's good, because
he just dumped her.
Which means that's not
what he wants anymore.
And you guys have always
been a little flirty with each other.
And, as he made
a point to tell you
You guys are gonna be
in the same city next year.
I'm just saying.
(marianne) 'you know,
I think jane is right.'
I think this kevin boy
has a crush on you.
Maybe.
- You have a picture?
- Yeah.
I know you do. Let me see.
- He's so cute.
- Right.
He is.
Oh, wait.
I know his dad. I work with him.
- Wait, really?
- Yeah.
Oh, his dad is really cute.
- Mom. Okay, okay.
- What? He is.
[dog barks]
[cellphone chimes]
[cellphone chimes]
[eerie music]
[knocking on door]
[intense music]
Hey, what are you doing?
Mom, you scared
the crap out of me.
I thought you were
in bed already.
(marianne) 'I was, I was just'
'getting a glass of water.'
Try and get some rest, sweetie.
Okay.
[dramatic music]
[indistinct chattering]
(hannah) hey, guess what?
Apparently, my
mom knows your dad.
They work at the
hospital together.
Already talking to your
mom about me, huh?
That's a good sign.
Uh, no! I mean..
Yeah, I was, but not like that.
You're cute when you blush.
Never mind.
Hannah, wait.
I'm just messing with you.
I like that you were talking
to your mom about me.
Listen, we got
interrupted last time
So I didn't get a
chance to ask, but..
Would you maybe wanna
go out with me Saturday night?
- Really?
- Yeah.
Why are you
surprised about that?
Um... I don't know.
I-I just didn't think
I was your type.
Smart and beautiful is my type?
So, what do you say?
Um, yeah, okay. I'd like that.
Awesome.
Let me get your
number, and we can
Figure out the
details later this week.
Okay.
[dramatic music]
[metallic clanging]
Hello?
[grunts]
[keys jingle]
[cellphone chimes]
- You need some help with that?
- Ah, no, it's okay.
Oh, my goodness, who is this?
- That's goober.
- Hi, goober.
[indistinct chatter]
- 'yeah.' - 'so sweet.'
We'll baby sit anytime.
Okay, I'll take you up on that.
(marianne) 'great.'
(josh) come on, buddy. Come on.
Come on, don't get run over.
Morning, hannah.
Hey, mr. Myers.
Oh, my gosh, what happened?
Oh, I got knocked unconscious
'by the dumpsters
when I was working late.'
- Someone mugged you?
- No. No, no, no.
Uh, they didn't take
my wallet or anything
And I didn't see anybody.
That's weird. What
did the cops say?
I didn't report it.
I didn't want the school
to think I was a liability
You know, working
late. It's fine.
I got a hard head, anyways.
Come on, girl,
we're gonna be late.
Well, I'm glad you're okay.
Thanks.
[breathing heavily]
I can't believe you
do this to yourself.
Come on, you're doing great.
I-I need a break.
I thought we were
coming out here
For you to get kevin's attention
Not to actually work out.
Hey, hannah.
- I'll be right back.
- Okay.
[referee whistles]
Hey, eli..
I'm sorry about the scholarship.
Uh-huh.
You're sorry enough to
give me the scholarship?
- What? No.
- Well, then go away.
Because you're the last
person I want any pity from.
It's not pity. I...
I-I know, what you're
trying to do, I do.
But it doesn't change the
fact that if you didn't exist
My entire future wouldn't be
in complete jeopardy right now.
So please..
Just leave me alone.
[instrumental music]
- What was that?
- Nothing.
Come on. I gotta
get my mom the car.
[instrumental music]
[faucet squeaks]
[eerie music]
Hannah, principal edwards
wants to see you in her office.
Take a seat, hannah.
Mom, is everything alright?
I'm afraid not.
Ms. Young brought
to my attention
Your recent term paper
on "wuthering heights."
Okay.
Something about it just
didn't feel right to me.
Your voice and vocabulary
sounded different
'so I ran it through one
of my software programs'
'that detects plagiarism
and it immediately matched'
'with this paper
by a grad student'
'that's published online.'
You didn't even
paraphrase from it.
- It's word for word.
- I don't understand.
- This isn't my paper at all.
- Hannah, it's identical.
(hannah) 'I've never seen
this paper before in my life.'
This is not the
paper I turned in.
Then why is this the only one
I have with your name on it?
I don't know,
but I can prove it.
I have it right
here on my laptop.
Okay, great, so maybe this is
Just all some sort
of misunderstanding.
(marianne) 'I
assure you, it is.'
My daughter would never cheat.
- What?
- What's wrong?
I can't find the file.
I even checked the
trash bin, it's gone.
Well, as you know,
the school has
A zero tolerance policy
when it comes to cheating.
I have no choice but to give
you a zero on the assignment.
But this term paper is
worth a third of my grade.
Not only will that tank my grade
'but it'll put my
scholarship in jeopardy.'
That's the other thing.
I'm obligated to disclose
this incident to the foundation.
I don't think it's
gonna end well for you.
'I am sorry, hannah.'
I am going to set up a
meeting with the foundation
So you can go in directly
and plead your case.
What's the point?
Without any actual
proof, how is that gonna go
Any better than it did
with principal edwards?
Are you sure that you didn't
save it to your jump drive?
Or-or what about my desk top?
Sometimes you do your
homework on my computer?
No, I didn't. I..
- Oh my gosh, mom, that's it.
- What?
I wanted to proof
read it during study hall
So I emailed it to myself.
That way I could pull it up
On the computer at the library.
Please tell me you
saved that email.
I deleted it from my inbox
But it should still
be in my sent folder.
Yeah. There it is.
I'm gonna call
principal edwards.
I'm gonna figure
out who did this.
(jane) I don't get it,
what does the janitor
Being mugged have
anything to do with your paper?
Well, that's the thing,
he wasn't mugged.
He was just knocked unconscious.
Okay, so..
So, that not a coincidence.
He was knocked out for a reason.
And I'm willing to
bet whoever did it
Is the same person that
switched out my paper.
So I just need to do is
sneak into the security room
Search the security footage
And I'll find out who it was.
Told her it was a bad idea.
It is not! This will work.
We just have to wait until
lunch when the library's empty.
But there's always a
security guard in there.
How are you gonna get him out?
That's where one
of you comes in.
Don't look at me.
I'm a terrible liar!
He such a wuss.
What do you need help with?
[knocking] hey, there's
someone trying to break into
People's cars outside.
(edwards) what are you doing?
It isn't me, principal
edwards. I swear.
Yes, it is and I can prove it.
How? You literally
can't make out a face.
If you zoom in you'll
see a sweatshirt
That says "kenzer university."
The same sweatshirt
that eli always wears.
Are you kidding? Tons of
people have the same sweatshirt.
Not that they wear everyday.
- Please, that could be anyone.
- Stop!
Both of you.
Look, hannah, I appreciate
you bringing this to my attention
But the way you went about it
was completely inappropriate.
You should have come to
me first with your suspicion
Instead of sneaking around.
Now, I'm afraid
that eli is right.
Without a clear face to identify
There is no way we can
know who that is in the picture.
[cackling]
If I were you, I wouldn't
look so smug, eli.
Because if I find any
evidence that that is you
Or you've any
involvement in this
I will call the police.
Am I clear?
Yes, principal edwards.
Good.
Now get outta here.
Hey! Wait up! I
wanna talk to you!
- Don't ignore me!
- Don't touch me!
If you ever try and get me
in trouble like that again...
We both know that's
you in that footage.
No, it wasn't!
And even if it was
me, it still doesn't prove
Who switched out
your paper, hannah.
You would need actual footage
from mrs. Young's classroom
And there are no
cameras in the classrooms.
Interesting that you
know that, don't you think?
Not really.
It's no secret that
I'm smarter than you.
The foundation
doesn't seem to think so.
Well..
Like I said, it's not
set in stone, now is it?
And if you keep
doing stuff like..
Breaking into security rooms
And making false accusations
And causing scenes..
Then the only person
you'll have to blame
For losing this
scholarship is yourself.
So please, by all means..
Keep it up.
You're just making
things much easier for me.
[bell rings]
I'm swimming in my head
I've been dreaming
on the edge
gotta follow what I know
visions in the night
captivated by the light
I'm surrounded by the glow
I miss you guys... So much.
God, ever heard of knocking?
Yeah, it's my house.
I don't have to knock.
Look, tiff and I are going
outta town for a while.
I don't know when
I'm gonna be back.
Tomorrow's mom's birthday.
Yeah, then we shouldn't
sit here and dwell on the fact
That she's not here to
celebrate it, now should we?
Right, just shack up with
your new flavor of the month.
Not like you cared
about her anyways.
Hey! If I didn't cared
about your mother
Then I wouldn't be stuck here
Raising an
ungrateful little brat.
You leave me to fend for
myself all the time, greg!
Yeah? Well, I gave you a life
That your dad
could've only imagined.
[scoffs]
God, I wish it was you
that died in that accident.
In two short months
When you turn 18, you're
no longer my problem
And you and I never have
to see each other ever again.
See, I do remember birthdays.
(greg) have a great night.
[vase shatters]
[vehicle horn honking]
[upbeat music]
(hannah) 'I can't believe
eli's going to get away with it!'
I mean, if that wasn't
him in the footage
Then why'd he try and
stop me from finding it
And rat me out like that?
Yeah, that's crazy.
Are you okay?
Yeah. It's just... My stepdad.
Where was he going anyway?
Who cares.
Sorry, I just really don't wanna
talk about him, if that's okay.
Yeah, okay.
Just know that I'm here.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
Do you want another soda?
- Sure.
- Okay.
Thanks.
[cellphone chimes]
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
Who's that?
James, this guy I met
from that clique app.
We were having a lot of fun
talking about kenzer next year
But he started to get
super jealous and weird
When I told him about
kevin asking me out.
Why? You guys never even met.
I know.
He apologized, but things
haven't been the same since.
To be honest, he's starting
to make me uncomfortable.
"I guess I'll have to get
your attention another way."
What the hell does that mean?
Well, those are beautiful.
Any secret admirers?
It's possible.
Now, I gotta say, I am
already liking this kevin kid.
They're not from kevin.
James?
Hannah, come on, you
promised me that you
Wouldn't give him your
personal information.
I didn't. I swear. I didn't
even give him my last name.
Well then, how did he
know where to find you?
I don't know, he
must have looked it up
Online or something.
What does this mean?
Well, I mean, tracking you
down, sending you these.
I mean, he's clearly
not respecting
The fact that you
just wanna be friends.
Oh, hannah, look, I, I
don't think that you should
Keep talking to this guy.
You're just encouraging him.
Really, I mean it.
[instrumental music]
[cellphone chimes]
- Hey.
- Hey, cutie.
- How's class?
- It was good.
- How was yours?
- It was okay.
[door creaks]
[phone dialing]
(woman on phone) 'hi, flower
spot. How can I help you?'
Yes, hi.
I-I was just calling to get
Some information on
A flower delivery.
[cellphone vibrates]
Phones away, please.
Thank you.
[cellphone vibrates]
Thanks for the ride.
Hannah, wait up.
Look, I-I really don't
think it's s good idea
For you to be
going out with kevin.
Why?
I just don't think he's
the right guy for you.
You know, I heard some
rumors and it sounds like
Lexi may have been
the one to dump him
Because of the
way he treated her.
Since when do you
listen to rumors?
Besides, lexi's probably the
one who started this to save face.
Maybe, but..
I mean, they just broke up.
I mean, don't you
think it's kinda fast
For him to move
straight on to you?
I just-I just don't
want you to get hurt.
I appreciate the big brother act
But I'll be fine.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Hey.
(marianne) hey, listen
honey, we need to talk.
I spoke with the
florist this morning.
They have no record of
those flowers being delivered.
What do you mean?
They spoke with
all their drivers
None of them delivered
flowers to this address.
Well, then who delivered them?
Well, uh, the lady said that
Since there's no record
That they were an
in-store purchase
So whoever bought
them, delivered them.
But that's impossible.
James doesn't even
live in california, mom.
- He lives in ohio.
- Or so he told you.
Well, why would he lie
about something like that?
I don't know, honey,
but if he's lying about this
What else is he lying about?
[gasps]
'what?'
I didn't tell you because
I wasn't totally sure
But I had this
really scary feeling
That someone was in
the house the other night.
- Wait, what?
- It was late.
And I was hearing noises.
And I could've sworn
someone was there
But when I checked, no one was.
Hannah, you should have told me!
It was the middle of
the night and I was tired.
I thought maybe I was making
it up and being paranoid, but..
What if it was james?
[sighing]
- What are you doing?
- I'm calling the police.
(detective wilson) was
there any sign of forced entry?
(hannah) no.
Was anything missing?
No.
Did they potentially
leave anything behind?
No.
Did you see anyone
Inside or outside of your home?
No, it was dark
but I've been getting
These aggressive messages
And I swear I heard someone
in the house that night.
(wilson) 'I'm afraid
without any hard evidence'
'there isn't anything I can do.'
Well, what about the fact
That he showed up at our home?
It's not a crime to
deliver flowers, ms. Davis.
And there is no proof that
he actually entered your home.
Besides, your
daughter said it was late.
I mean, maybe it all
was just a bad dream.
Listen, he-he lied
about where he lived?
You're not even
gonna look into it?
Ms. Davis, if I spent my time
investigating and arresting
Every person who has
ever lied on social media
The majority of the
population would be in jail.
Look unless, he's done something
to physically harm your daughter
Or sent her a direct threat..
Well, I mean, he warned
her that she was making
A big mistake and
that she would regret it.
(wilson) 'that's not a threat in
the eyes of the law, ms. Davis.'
Nowhere in any of his messages
does he express any intent
To cause any actual
physical harm to your daughter.
Look, my advice would be to
just have her to delete the app.
He'll get the point. Alright?
Just don't speak to him again.
He'll eventually move on.
[dramatic music]
Get those hands up.
You good?
Hey, give me one second.
Hey, can I help you out?
You don't recognize me?
No. I'm sorry. Should I?
What is this?
I was hoping you could tell me.
My name is eric. Not james.
I can't believe someone
is using my photo like this.
You're telling me this
isn't your clique account?
No. I've never even heard of
the clique app until just now.
I'm really sorry, but whoever
you've been speaking to
It hasn't been me.
You're definitely
getting catfished.
[tense music]
Hey, marianne.
[josh sighs] god,
that's terrible.
I'm so sorry.
Yeah, it's literally every
parent's worst nightmare.
This whole social
media thing, it's, ugh..
The-the police won't help.
So, now I have to
find my own it expert
To trace the account.
Well, I'm..
Certainly no expert, but I
do work in web development.
So, if it's just a
matter of tracing an ip..
Maybe I can help.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Thank you. That'd be great.
- Sure.
- I won't charge you too much.
- Oh, great.
- Ha-ha. Thanks.
- Ha-ha-ha.
(scott) 'I mean, he could
have been lying since you'
Basically ambushed him.
No. His social media
basically told me it wasn't him.
I just wanted him to
confirm it in person.
Plus, he doesn't
even talk like james.
Hannah.
Is he seriously beckoning you?
Oh, don't be like
that. I'll be right back.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Coach is wrapping
up practice early
But I just wanted to say goodbye
And that I'll see you
tomorrow at 7:00.
(kevin) I'm really
looking forward to it.
(hannah) yeah, me too.
- Cool.
- See ya.
Where did you go?
Water fountain.
Can we finish our workout now
Or is kevin going
to interrupt us again?
- Nope. I'm all yours.
- Great.
- Ready, set, go. Ha-ha-ha.
- Come on!
- Whoa!
- Whoa! Whoa-whoa!
You okay?
Yeah. Thanks to you.
I could have broke my neck.
(scott) someone
intentionally tried to hurt you.
'you're cancelling your
date tomorrow, right?'
I need a playboy
super smash game boy
he's on his way boy..
(hannah) yeah, it was, um..
Really hard on me and my mom.
I had no idea you were
having to deal with that.
- That's crazy.
- Yeah.
I mean, you hear about
those kind of stories
But you never think it's
going to happen to you.
So did you delete the app?
Oh, yeah. Heh.
No more chat rooms
for me for a long time.
[rock music]
Thanks for coming, everyone.
[indistinct chatter]
there's not a single
thing I wouldn't change
about my personality
[intense music]
or the food I ate
[music continues]
That was really, really fun.
Yeah. Heh.
I kinda don't want it to end.
Doesn't have to.
[music continues]
[tires screech]
[grunts]
[both groaning]
Oh my god, are you okay?
She's fine. I was
going to come get you.
She's got a nasty bruise
and a mild concussion
But nothing's broken.
Well, what happened to kevin?
I don't know. Uh..
They are having to
rush him to surgery.
Thank you so much.
Is he gonna be okay, mom?
I don't know, honey. I hope so.
Oh, I'm just so happy
that you're okay.
[instrumental music]
[elevator bell dings]
[machine beeping]
Hey. How do you feel?
Like I got hit by a car.
I guess this season
is over for me.
I'm so sorry.
Why? It's not your
fault some psycho hit us.
[tense music]
Hey.
I tried tracing the ip address
"james" sent the messages from
But he's using
a vpn to block it.
What's a vpn?
It's a software program
that encrypts your ip address
And re-routes it all over the
world to keep your personal data
Private and makes
it harder to trace.
- So, it can't be traced?
- No, it can.
It's just harder, and
it will take more time.
So, I gave it to a co-worker who
has more experience with that.
In the meantime, there
were some messages
That didn't go through a vpn.
Maybe it's because he was
communicating with hannah
On a different device
from a different location
He didn't have control of.
So I was able to
trace the ip address
To those messages.
Well, where did the
messages come from?
Hillside park high school.
[tense music]
(edwards) 'well, just
hold on one sec, okay?'
Let me just transfer
you to my cell.
Are you there?
Great.
Uh-huh. Well..
Tons of students use
those computers every day.
They're open to
the entire campus.
Yes, but the kids log
in to the computers
With their student id
and passwords, correct?
That is correct, but all the
computers use the same router
So they'll all have
the same ip address.
It's not like we can
just narrow it down
'to identify one specific one.'
If I may interject, each
computer's public ip address
'would be the
same, that is correct.'
'however, each computer has
its own private ip address as well.'
'I can give you that address
and we would just need'
'the login history of
that one computer.'
Once we have that, my
friend can match the messages
From whoever was logged
into that specific computer
At that specific time.
Well, I'm afraid I
can't legally disclose
The entire login list
due to privacy reasons.
But what I can do is, if you
give me the private ip address
And the exact time
the messages were sent
I will login and look.
(edwards) 'does that work?'
(marianne on phone) 'yes.
Thank you. Thank you so much.'
[suspenseful music]
[sighs]
[music continues]
Give me..
[groans]
[gasping]
(mrs. Young) 'class, uh..'
I'm afraid I have
some tragic news.
Your fellow classmate
Eli johnson, passed
away yesterday.
'he had a peanut allergy.'
'unfortunately, he was
in the library by himself'
After school when it happened.
The janitor found him, but
just wasn't soon enough.
'the school has brought
in grief counselors'
'on campus today for any
of you that need to talk.'
[tense music]
(edwards) 'I was able
to gain login access'
'on the computer that
your mother told me about.'
Although, in light
of recent events
I don't think it's
important anymore.
Why? Who was it?
Um..
It was eli johnson.
[instrumental music]
[cellphone chimes]
Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you.
Your mom heard
from principal edwards
And asked me to check on you.
Such an awful way to go.
At least you're safe now.
No, I'm not!
James just sent me a photo
of me sleeping in my room.
- What?
- He was in my house, scott.
Standing over me, as I slept.
- Let me see it.
- I can't.
It was a chatflash, so it
deleted after I opened it.
You know what this means, right?
Eli wasn't james.
But he had to be. He was the
one logged into that computer.
Or maybe someone
logged in as eli to frame him.
Well, if it's not eli,
then who the hell is it?
(hannah) 'whoever took that photo
of me didn't break a window or lock'
To do it, scott. They knew
how to get into my house.
Which means they could
do it again at anytime.
Is your mom working
a late shift tonight?
She was supposed to,
but she's getting it covered.
She said she'd be home at 5:00.
That's still two and
a half hours away.
I don't like the idea of leaving
you at your home by yourself.
Especially if someone
knows how to get inside.
I was thinking about
going to the gym.
You wanna come?
I don't really feel like
working out right now.
Well, they have a pool and
saunas. You could use those.
Just... Try and relax.
Yeah, okay.
[dramatic music]
[music continues]
[thudding on door]
(hannah) hello?
[beeping]
Hello?
Who's there?
[door handle rattling]
Hello?
Hey!
[grunting]
Help!
[beeping]
[coughing] help!
[coughing]
[music continues]
(scott) 'hey, hanna. I'm done.'
'you almost ready?'
Hannah!
Hannah, are you okay?
Are you okay? Hey!
Talk to me. You better?
[tense music]
(marianna) 'are
you serious? Okay.'
What-what about any witnesses?
Someone must
have seen something.
[sighs]
Okay. Thanks.
Well?
The police can't
find any witnesses
'who can recall anything.'
(scott) what about
the security cameras?
No, they-they wouldn't
have them in that area.
Are you sure that
you didn't see anyone?
No, when I went to check on her
All I heard was um..
Pounding and-and the
door was wedged shut.
I'm sorry I can't
be more helpful.
No, I.. Sweetie..
It's because of you
that hannah is alive.
[phone ringing]
It's detective wilson.
Yes?
[instrumental music]
Anymore hero talk
And you'll impossible
to deal with.
- Me?
- Hmm-hmm.
Never.
How you feelin'?
Just grateful you were there.
My mom's right. If you
didn't come when you did, I..
What can I say?
I have perfect timing.
And I'm not letting you
go anywhere. Okay?
You're gonna have to put up
with me for a long, long time, missy.
Better get used to it.
Sorry I wasn't
there to help you.
It's not your fault.
I'm just glad scott
checked on me when he did.
He seems to have convenient
timing a lot, doesn't he?
Don't you find it kinda weird
that every time you've had
One of these "episodes," it's
been when you're with him?
That he's always conveniently
been there to help save the day?
No, he hasn't. He wasn't there
when we got hit by that car..
Yeah, but, I was the only
one that was actually hit.
Someone he clearly
sees as a threat.
Scott would never hurt anyone.
I've known him my whole life.
He's like a brother to me.
That's the thing.
I don't think he wants
to be your brother.
- I think he's in love with you.
- What?
No, no. Scott does
not look at me that way.
You're just saying that
because you don't like him.
Maybe.
Look, I didn't
mean to upset you.
You're probably right.
How about we stop
talking about scott
And we focus on
more important things?
Like us.
Sorry.
Sorry.
[cellphone chimes]
[suspenseful music]
- You okay?
- Yeah.
Isn't your next class on
the other side of campus?
Yeah, but I had to grab
something from my locker
Real quick. Why?
No reason. I was just
surprised to see you.
- Okay.
- Oh, actually..
I'm really glad you're here.
Can I borrow your
phone really quick?
I forgot to charge
mine, so it died
And I wanna see if the neighbor
emailed me about the vpn.
Wouldn't he email your mom?
Uh, he said he would
email both of us.
- Thanks.
- Hey, guys.
Um, are either of
you up for studying
'for the history final tomorrow?
'cause I need to study.'
Yeah, that final is
going to kick my butt.
- Could we do it at your place?
- Yeah, sure.
Hannah, you in?
Huh?
For studying at
jane's after school?
Oh, no, sorry, I can't today.
Uh, you two have fun though.
What're you doing?
Oh, um, checking my email.
[cellphone chiming]
[knocking on door]
[tense music]
[knocking continues]
(jane) hannah, it's
me! Hannah! Hannah!
[gasps]
(hannah) what is going
on? Did you run here?
Yeah, we need to talk.
[panting]
Where did you get this?
Scott was over at my place
and he was acting really weird
So I snooped through
his things and..
It's not all I found.
Oh, my god.
Kevin always thought
it could've been scott
I just didn't want
to believe him.
Really? What did kevin say?
That he thought he
was in love with me.
And it wasn't a coincidence
how all these "episodes"
Happened when we were together.
Makes sense. You kept
focusing on eli and the fact that
He was at the bowling alley
the night we set up the clique app
But so was scott and that
would be the perfect way
For him to tell you how he feels
But then you
started dating kevin..
Which he kept trying
to talk me out of.
But something about
this doesn't make sense.
If he has feelings for
me it would make sense
Why he wants to hurt kevin,
but why would he wanna hurt me?
I don't think he
wants to hurt you.
I think he's just trying
to create these scenarios
Where he can be your
knight in shining armor.
But what about
switching out my paper
And almost costing
me this scholarship?
He didn't save me from that.
He didn't even know
I emailed to myself.
If you lose this scholarship,
you'll be going to palm vista..
With scott.
That's why he said he was sorry.
What?
He texted me like, 20 minutes
ago saying he was sorry
And when I asked what
for, he didn't respond.
What did he say when
you confronted him?
I didn't confront him, I just
came up with an excuse
And then came here immediately.
He's at my house
alone right now, hannah.
But if he texted you, that
means he knows I have his things.
- Where are you going?
- To confront him.
(jane) 'hannah, I don't
know if that's safe.'
Don't you think we
should call the cops first?
Yeah, I will,
after I talk to him.
Oh, my god.
What're you doing?
Well, I'm not going
to let you go alone.
If you're going to do
something crazy like this
I'm gonna be your back up.
- His car's not here.
- No.
He parked in the garage
because greg's not home.
[gate creaking]
[tense music]
Do you hear that?
Scott?
It's me, jane. I
need to talk to you.
Scott, it's hannah!
[smoke-alarm beeping]
(jane) 'hannah, I have
a bad feeling about this.'
[beeping continues]
[coughing]
[intense music]
Oh, my god! Scott!
- Scott! Wake up!
- I'll call 911.
I need you to wake up for me.
Come on, scott! Wake up!
[music continues]
[siren wailing]
- That's my daughter. Hannah!
- Ma'am, ma'am...
Oh, my god!
You girls okay?
It was scott. Scott was
james the entire time.
What?
No, that-that can't be true.
(wilson) 'I'm afraid
hannah's right.'
We found scott's
phone in his car.
It was, uh, open
to the notes app.
He, um, he'd written
a suicide note on it.
So, this is my fault?
If I hadn't taken his phone...
"the thought of you
moving across the country
"was too much for me to bear.
"I've always been in
love with you, hannah.
"I just didn't know
how to tell you.
"so I decided to show you.
Try to make you see
me in a different light."
[instrumental music]
'admits to all he did.'
[crying]
Honey, it's okay.
Nothing will break my heart
only these two
nothing will break my heart
oh and you too
push against me
and your best..
- How is hannah doing?
- Not well.
Which breaks my
heart, because I..
There's just really
nothing I can do
Or say to make
her feel any better.
Trust me, she's
going to be okay.
[instrumental music]
nothing will make us apart
if you let me
nothing will make us apart
if we choose to
stand with the
best at our worst
bruising but hopeful
breaking the curse
I'm crowding my heart
with all of this mess
Hey. Do any of you
know where kevin is?
- Hannah!
- Scott was right about you.
Scott tried to kill me for
even going out with you.
And he tried to ruin your life
for his own selfish reasons.
'he's not a good
person, hannah.'
Maybe, but neither are you.
Look, I never said
we were exclusive.
You're right. You didn't.
But you also weren't
completely honest either.
- Hannah...
- Bye, kevin.
- Hey.
- Hey.
That didn't look good.
- What a jerk.
- Mm.
- You know what we should do?
- Hmm?
Let's have a girl's weekend.
Greg's out of town and
you could come over
And we can take
your mind off of things.
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
(marianne) 'as you can imagine'
'it's been a very
stressful time for hannah.'
'she's been emotional and..'
'uh, in no way reflects
her usual performance.'
'yes, ye.. Yes.'
'that is more than fair.
Thank you so much.'
'and please thank the other
foundation board members'
'for me as well.'
[sighs]
Was that the
hemmingsworth foundation?
Yeah.
Look, principal
edwards called earlier..
The foundation's board
is really concerned
With your recent grades.
They're threatening to
take the scholarship away.
- Let 'em.
- What?!
Let 'em. I don't care!
I don't want this
scholarship anymore.
Hannah, you don't mean that.
Yes, I do!
That scholarship almost
cost me my best friend!
'after everything
I've been through'
Do you really think I care
about some dumb scholarship?
I know you that you
feel that way right now.
But that is just the
anger and grief talking.
You-you will feel differently
eventually, trust me.
'I called the board
and they said that'
'you can keep the
scholarship, if you can maintain'
'3.5 grade average, the
first semester of college.'
Wow!
Because a gpa is what matters
most right now. Right, mom?
Hannah.
[crying]
fill this void
fill this nothing
stand with the
best at our worst
losing but fight for
breaking the curse
I'm proud of this heart
and all of this mess
[school bell ringing]
Boy, did you dodge a bullet.
- You ready to go?
- Hmm-mm.
Jerk.
[hannah and jane laugh]
you can't you can't put
your fake smiles away
got you all..
I know, but maybe on-once
when he was making the real thing.
He always keeps
the mix in the pantry.
- I'm really glad we did this.
- Me too.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Stay crazy
all is care-free
they know you..
(jane) 'oh, my god.'
Do you remember
how cocky scott was?
- Ha-ha-ha.
- Willy-nilly.
[laughs] so bad.
- I know.
- Ha-ha-hah.
Do you think he's gonna wake up?
I don't know.
I'm just having a hard time
Wrapping my brain
around this whole thing.
It just doesn't
sound like scott.
Yeah.
He fooled us both.
I wish I could just talk to him.
Get some answers.
But he gave the answers
in the suicide note.
Something about it
just doesn't feel right.
I mean, we now know he
had a reason not to like kevin.
Maybe he really was just
being the protective best friend..
What if the phone
wasn't even his?
What if he found out who james
was and he took it from them?
Hannah..
I know you don't want to
believe that scott's capable of this
But, people do really
crazy things for love.
[doorbell rings]
Oh.
I think that's the pizza,
I'm gonna go get it.
Okay.
[tense music]
Damn it.
Are you kiddin'? Tons of
people have the same sweatshirt.
[music continues]
(jane) I'm still waiting to hear
back from my other choices
Including my
parent's alma mater.
[josh knocking]
marianne, it's me, open up.
[knocking]
It's josh. Please, open up.
Josh, what's wrong?
I just heard back
from my co-worker.
He finally managed to trace
the address and marianne..
It's not scott.
[intense music]
[exhales]
[hannah on voicemail] 'hi,
it's hannah. Leave a message.'
Where're you going?
My mom texted me.
She needs me home.
Looks like your mom
didn't teach you about
Going through people's things.
(jane) just like scott.
I didn't want to do it.
But I didn't have a choice.
[intense music]
I need you to go
to the police station
Ask for detective wilson and
tell them everything you know.
- But...
- Just go.
- Just do it.
- Okay, okay.
(hannah) 'you were
talking about going'
'to your parent's alma mater.'
'you were talking about kenzer.'
This is about my
scholarship, isn't it?
No. It's about my scholarship.
What are you talking
about? Eli was the runner up.
Yeah, he was.
But I knew I
couldn't be far behind
So I snuck into
principal edward's office
And it turns out I was
the second runner-up.
Me. He just had to go.
(hannah) you killed eli?
(jane) it's not my
fault he has allergies.
What about james?
(jane) I created james
for you to lose focus.
Create just enough
drama in miss perfect's life.
[line ringing]
Come on, pick up!
[dramatic music]
Hannah, where are you? Pick up!
No scholarship is worth
the things you've done.
No, hannah. See, that's
where you're wrong.
To you, kenzer's just another
ivy league school, right?
Yeah, but to me, it's
so much more than that.
I grew up with my mom
and dad telling me stories
About how they
fell in love there.
I was gonna go there and
follow in their footsteps.
I was gonna feel close to
them when I went to kenzer.
And you stole that from me.
No, I didn't. You
can still go to ken...
No, I can't, hannah!
You don't get it!
You don't get it, okay?
[crying]
I don't qualify for
enough financial aid.
Okay? Because my stepdad
makes too much money
But he's not gonna
help me at all because
Once I turn 18, I'm not
his problem anymore.
[instrumental music]
I don't even know if
I'm gonna have a place
[slurred] to live in
the next few months.
[slurred] hannah?
Hannah?
Good, right?
- You drugged me?
- 'I did.'
That's the whole reason
I brought you here.
[low pitched] it's only a
matter of time, hannah.
(jane) 'where're
you going, hannah?'
'there's nowhere to go!'
'ready or not'
'here I come.'
[intense music]
'you can't hide
from me, hannah.'
[intense music]
[music continues]
Hannah!
Hannah!
Hannah!
Baby!
(marianne) 'baby, come on.'
[grunting]
Okay. You gotta wake up, baby.
Wake up!
- Wake up, baby.
- Well..
If it isn't super mom coming
to save the day yet again.
Whatever this is
about, we can fix it.
This is your fault, you know?
'if you would have just
let hannah get away'
With her grades
slipping, and her cheating
None of this would
have happened.
I would have gotten
my scholarship
And your daughter
wouldn't have gotten hurt.
No one would've gotten hurt.
But you just keep getting in
the way, being the perfect mom...
The police are already
on their way. It's over.
We've all made mistakes.
We can walk out there together.
I promise I will
try to protect you...
No, because I won't
be going to kenzer!
No. No, I'm sorry, you won't.
You don't get it.
You don't get it at all.
I'm doing this for
my mom and dad.
I'm doing this to
make them proud.
I need to go to kenzer
to make them proud!
There has to be another way.
There's nothing...
I'm sorry, mama davis.
I really did like you.
[dramatic music]
[both grunting]
[yells]
[water splashes]
[both gasping]
[intense music]
[groans]
[marianne coughing]
[grunts]
What's going to happen to jane?
Well, she is going to
be in a world of trouble..
But hopefully
now, she'll get the
The mental help that she needs.
She was right about one thing.
I shouldn't take you
for granted, mom.
- I'm sorry.
- Oh, sweetie.
(marianne) 'what's
gonna happen next, but..'
- 'hey, sweetie. Oh..' - 'hi.'
Are you ready for
some good news?
Yes, please.
Well aren't you a
sight for sore eyes.
How are you feeling?
I'm good.
Your mom told me everything.
I'm so sorry I wasn't
there to help you.
Scott, I'm so sorry
For ever believing it
could have been you.
That fake note about
you having feelings for me
'should have been
a dead give away.'
- Wait, I'm...
- Don't worry, hannah.
I don't expect you
to feel the same way.
I need you in my life, hannah.
Even if it's that's
just as friends.
That's enough for me.
Really.
Well..
What if that's not
enough for me?
[instrumental music]
(female #1) 'it has
been a crazy year.'
'congratulations, everyone!'
[cheering]
(male #1) 'okay.'
[screaming]
[laughing]
- Ah!
- Whoa!
[hannah laughing]
oh I do I do
I do I love you
oh I do I do
I do I love you
with all my heart I
love you dear I do
[tense music]
Hey, you guys, come here.
Come gather around the
cake. I wanna get a photo.
- Grab the dog.
- Aww..
[chuckles]
(hannah) 'martin.'
[laughter]
I love you and you love me
Alright, all you
beautiful graduates
Make a wish for your futures.
Ah-ha!
Our friends and family
line our pathway
with sparks for me and you
oh I do I do I do I love you
oh I do I do I do I love you
oh I do I do I do I love you
and I do I do
I do I love you
I do
I love you
[music continues]
[music continues]
Hey, sweetie. Don't forget
your lunch is in the fridge.
Mom, how long are you gonna keep
This acceptance letter up?
Oh, until the frame I
ordered for it comes.
You're joking.
What?
I can't be excited
that my daughter
Got accepted into
an ivy league school?
Of course you can, but we
don't even know if I'm going yet.
'they haven't announced
the winner of the scholarship.'
Come on, honey.
You're a shoe in.
And besides there's not
that much competition.
It's just the other students
who got into kenzer.
Six other students
that I know of
That all have similar
gpa and resumes to mine.
That may be true, but they
don't have your character.
You're have to say
that. You're my mom.
(marianne) doesn't
make it any less true.
(hanna) 'well, if I don't
get it, staying in state'
'and going to palm vista
with scott wouldn't be so bad.'
'we have done everything
together since we were 5'
'so, why should
college be any different?'
Okay, if by chance
Some grave miscarriage
of justice happens
And you don't get
the full scholarship
I will find a way.
I don't want financial aid, mom.
We talked about this.
It's not gonna come
close to covering it all.
We'll take out a second
mortgage on the house.
Or I'll work extra
shifts till I'm 50.
You are going to your
dream school, okay?
Just have to have faith.
Okay.
[car horn honking]
That's scott, I gotta go.
Oh, here. Don't forget this.
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
- Love you.
- I love you.
[upbeat music]
God, I love your mom.
How did your study date go?
That good, huh?
[laughs]
- 'so, nice sunglasses.'
- 'what?'
(hannah) 'looking to work some
magic with the ladies today?'
(scott) 'I-I mean, yeah.
Maybe. I don't know.'
'shut up.'
You're too picky.
Hey, there's nothing
wrong with having standards.
No, there's not,
but there's not a girl
On this planet that's
gonna meet yours.
Of course, there is.
I'll see ya.
[indistinct chattering]
Hannah, principal edwards
wants to see you in her office.
[instrumental music]
Sorry to keep you waiting.
- Have a seat.
- Is everything okay?
[sighs] well..
As you know, one of our
school's most prestigious alums
Elaine hemmingsworth,
funds a scholarship each year
Through her foundation, and
awards it to one of our seniors.
This year was the toughest
competition we have ever seen.
There were 11 students
who were eligible
And it was a very,
very close race.
So no one should
feel like they're lost
Because just getting accepted
to kenzer university is a huge win.
Yeah, I-I understand.
That being said, I am
pleased to inform you
That her foundation
has named you
As the scholarship recipient.
What?
- Oh, my gosh! Thank you!
- Congratulations.
Oh, my god. Hannah.
I'm so proud of you.
- That's amazing!
- Thanks.
Honestly, feels like a
huge weight has been lifted.
I didn't think I'd
be able to go.
What are you gossiping about?
Hannah. She got the
hemmingsworth scholarship.
- What? Are you kidding me?
- Mm-hmm.
- That's so awesome.
- Thanks.
I mean, it's not awesome
that you're abandoning me.
Oh, my gosh, I'm
not abandoning you.
We'll keep in touch.
I know. I'm just
messin' with ya.
At least, I'll still
have jane to torture.
Yeah, thank god my mom died
Just in time for me to be
hannah's replacement for you.
- That's not what I meant.
- I'm kidding, scott.
It's just a little
dead parent humor.
That's what you get
for thinking I'm gonna be
At your beck and call
for the next four years.
I thought you liked palm vista?
I do, but I'm still waiting
To hear back from
my other choices
Including my
parent's alma mater.
Okay. Well, what's
your top choice?
I don't wanna say 'cause
I don't wanna jinx it.
And I don't even know if I'm
gonna be able to afford it, so..
Well, when you do get
in, which I know you will
Let us know and
we'll celebrate it!
Deal! Speaking of celebrating.
Let's go out tonight to
celebrate your big news.
- Okay. Sounds good.
- Yeah?
Yeah.
(hannah) 'mom, mom,
mom, mom, mom!'
- I got the scholarship.
- You did it!
I told you, you'd get it, right.
Oh! Who is that?
- Hi.
- Hi, um..
I'm josh, I'm your new neighbor.
Oh, yeah, hi, I'm marianne davis
And this is my daughter hannah.
Good to meet you both, um..
Nice to meet you.
I was told there's a package...
Oh, my gosh, yes.
It's right here, actually.
It came few weeks
ago before I moved in.
- Wonderful.
- Yeah.
It's great, um..
Well, I don't wanna take
up too much of your time.
Uh, it's a pleasure
meeting you both.
Um..
If you ever need anything,
just right there reach out.
- Great. Thanks. Same.
- Yeah. Okay.
- Bye.
- Bye. Bye.
He was nice.
Mm-hmm.
What?
No, nothing.
What is that look?
[upbeat music]
Watch how it's done, ladies.
Wow. Yeah. That was a good
one, you gotta teach me that.
- My hand slipped.
- Right.
Jane, are you buying this?
- Jane? What do you mean what?
- What?
You've been glued to your
phone since we got here.
Sorry, I overheard
some kids at school today
Talking about
this new clique app
So I decided to check it out.
And it's totally addicting.
Clique? What's
that? A dating site?
No. It's so much
better than a dating site.
It's like, it's like a-a
chat room for people
That talk through forums
Or as the app
calls them "cliques."
Where you can talk
about specific interests like
Music, hobbies, sports.
And they have cliques
different colleges too
So you can to people
before you even go there.
Wait, that's a good idea.
Do they have one for kenzer?
Oh, I'm sure they
do, but let me check.
Yeah. See. They do,
you should totally join.
- So cool.
- Hey, I have an idea.
(scott) 'instead of trying
to find friends online'
How about you both
put down your phones
And attention to the
amazing friend that is standing
Right in front of you,
waiting for you to bowl.
'it's your turn. Come on.'
Here, give me your phone.
I'll download it for you.
Thanks.
Now that, I believe,
is how it's done.
No, please.
Don't stop on my account.
You've got nice moves, davis.
And that's what
you get for gloating.
- You're up, jane.
- Here.
I created the username for you.
And I used your
usual profile pic.
You've got to be kidding me.
"all the good names r taken?"
- Seriously, jane.
- What?
I knew you'd pick
something totally boring
And you gotta grab
people's attention
With something
a little more fun.
Whatever. I'm changing it.
No! It's a conversation
starter, okay.
Just trust me.
Okay, fine, I'll
keep it for now.
[laughs]
Now that is how it's done.
[eerie music]
[hannah panting]
[hannah shrieks]
Eli? You scared
the crap out of me.
I thought someone
was chasing me.
Oh, right. You sure you weren't
running because you're a coward
And just didn't want to face me?
What are you talking about?
Don't play coy. You know
what I'm talking about.
The scholarship.
Principal edwards told
me that I was the runner up
Which we both know isn't fair.
I have a higher gpa than you.
I have a 4.0, just like you.
Yeah, but you don't
take ap calculus like I do.
Other schools weight
the classes different...
That's one class.
The scholarship is based
on more than academics.
- You and I both know that.
- Oh.
Right, so, you think you're
a better person than me too?
You think just because
you're a brown noser
Who sucks up to the teachers,
that makes you more deserving..
Hey, man, mind
your own business.
This is my business, eli.
I think it's time for
you to get outta here.
Eli, just go.
Not a chance, sweetheart.
We both know the
winner isn't set in stone yet
And I've worked
too hard for this.
Are you threatening her?
Yeah, what if I am?
What are you gonna
do about it, huh?
Scott, I can handle it.
That's what I thought.
So whipped.
You'll never be anything
More than her friend, right?
- Scott, no! Let it go.
- Scott, no! Let it go.
Are you okay?
What a jerk!
You good?
It's been a minute
since I found someone
who makes me wanna
know a thing about love
but oh my god I'm
seeing stars with you
I tend to keep
myself from diving in
I got fed up with
the sink or swim
but oh my god I'm
falling hard for you
I keep on waiting for
the hurricane to come
and wash the magic
that you brought away
but somehow all the colors
just keep getting brighter
yeah I'm feeling it
more every day I think I'm
hooked on you
baby you're golden
time moves I never notice
just can't get enough
got me wonderstruck
I knew the second I met ya
I was doomed
to never forget ya
just one single touch
got me wonderstruck
[instrumental music]
ah now I'm dying
when you call me yours
pour my heart out
on the kitchen floor
'cause oh my god I'm
seeing stars with you
where did this come from?
Lightning in my lungs
oh my god don't
you ever stop..
Doubling up on the coffee, huh?
[cell phone chimes]
Who's that?
- A new friend I met.
- From last night?
(hannah) 'kinda.'
Jane showed me this
new app called clique.
And there was a kenzer
clique, so I joined it
And I met this guy named james.
He's starting in the fall and
he's gonna be prelaw too.
Hannah, come on,
you know how I feel
About you talking
to people online.
I mean, your friends
are one thing, but, uh
Total stranger in a chat room...
A kenzer university
chat room, mom.
Still, you know
anything about them...
Relax, I'm not gonna give him
my phone number or my address
Or even my last name.
He doesn't even live here,
so I'm not gonna meet him
Until I'm actually at kenzer.
Which really wouldn't
be any different
Than just meeting him on campus.
Everyone is a stranger until
you get to know them, mom.
[car horn honks]
Oh, I gotta go.
[upbeat music]
(greg) 'get out of the
car. I'll talk about this..'
(jane) 'yeah, you never
wanna talk about this.'
(greg) 'I don't wanna
talk about it, I'm busy!'
- Get outta the car...
- I can't stand you, greg!
(greg) fantastic! We're
on the same page.
Have a great day!
- Hey, guys.
- Hey.
How come your
dad drove you today?
Greg is not my dad! He's my
stepfather, and he's an asshole.
Well, he can't be that bad,
he gave you a ride to school.
No, trust me. He is.
The only reason he adopted me
Is because my mom wanted him to
And then when she died
Let's just say we're both
counting down the days
Until I turn 18.
Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry.
No, you're good,
that was my bad.
Um, I'm actually
glad I ran into you.
- You are?
- Yeah.
I wanted to congratulate you.
I heard you won
that scholarship.
- Oh, yeah. Thanks.
- Yeah.
I'm actually going to school
on the east coast too, you know.
- 'really? Where?'
- 'hudson university.'
So, we'll basically
be neighbors.
Cool.
I'm so sorry. I, I gotta go.
Oh, it's alright.
I'll see you later.
Hey, what's the big emergency?
Oh.. False alarm. Sorry.
I thought I was
gonna have to borrow
Your history book
for class, but..
I found mine.
I gotta go.
[instrumental music]
(jane) 'you know why
he told you he's going'
To hudson university, right?
- He's interested in you.
- 'what?'
- No, he's not!
- Yes, he is.
- He's with lexi.
- Correction.
Was with lexi.
I heard they broke
up like, two weeks ago.
Wait, really? Why?
I don't know. Who cares?
But now you can be with him.
- You're crazy.
- No. I'm observant. Thank you.
And I'm sure if mr. Poor
timing over here didn't
Ruined the moment, he probably
would have asked you out.
Hey! My timing is perfect,
thank you very much
'cause hannah can do
way better than kevin.
(scott) 'he isn't
even her type.'
Right. Handsome, charming, rich.
What else could
she possibly want?
I'm not even his type, anyway.
I'm the anti-thesis of lexi.
Well, that's good, because
he just dumped her.
Which means that's not
what he wants anymore.
And you guys have always
been a little flirty with each other.
And, as he made
a point to tell you
You guys are gonna be
in the same city next year.
I'm just saying.
(marianne) 'you know,
I think jane is right.'
I think this kevin boy
has a crush on you.
Maybe.
- You have a picture?
- Yeah.
I know you do. Let me see.
- He's so cute.
- Right.
He is.
Oh, wait.
I know his dad. I work with him.
- Wait, really?
- Yeah.
Oh, his dad is really cute.
- Mom. Okay, okay.
- What? He is.
[dog barks]
[cellphone chimes]
[cellphone chimes]
[eerie music]
[knocking on door]
[intense music]
Hey, what are you doing?
Mom, you scared
the crap out of me.
I thought you were
in bed already.
(marianne) 'I was, I was just'
'getting a glass of water.'
Try and get some rest, sweetie.
Okay.
[dramatic music]
[indistinct chattering]
(hannah) hey, guess what?
Apparently, my
mom knows your dad.
They work at the
hospital together.
Already talking to your
mom about me, huh?
That's a good sign.
Uh, no! I mean..
Yeah, I was, but not like that.
You're cute when you blush.
Never mind.
Hannah, wait.
I'm just messing with you.
I like that you were talking
to your mom about me.
Listen, we got
interrupted last time
So I didn't get a
chance to ask, but..
Would you maybe wanna
go out with me Saturday night?
- Really?
- Yeah.
Why are you
surprised about that?
Um... I don't know.
I-I just didn't think
I was your type.
Smart and beautiful is my type?
So, what do you say?
Um, yeah, okay. I'd like that.
Awesome.
Let me get your
number, and we can
Figure out the
details later this week.
Okay.
[dramatic music]
[metallic clanging]
Hello?
[grunts]
[keys jingle]
[cellphone chimes]
- You need some help with that?
- Ah, no, it's okay.
Oh, my goodness, who is this?
- That's goober.
- Hi, goober.
[indistinct chatter]
- 'yeah.' - 'so sweet.'
We'll baby sit anytime.
Okay, I'll take you up on that.
(marianne) 'great.'
(josh) come on, buddy. Come on.
Come on, don't get run over.
Morning, hannah.
Hey, mr. Myers.
Oh, my gosh, what happened?
Oh, I got knocked unconscious
'by the dumpsters
when I was working late.'
- Someone mugged you?
- No. No, no, no.
Uh, they didn't take
my wallet or anything
And I didn't see anybody.
That's weird. What
did the cops say?
I didn't report it.
I didn't want the school
to think I was a liability
You know, working
late. It's fine.
I got a hard head, anyways.
Come on, girl,
we're gonna be late.
Well, I'm glad you're okay.
Thanks.
[breathing heavily]
I can't believe you
do this to yourself.
Come on, you're doing great.
I-I need a break.
I thought we were
coming out here
For you to get kevin's attention
Not to actually work out.
Hey, hannah.
- I'll be right back.
- Okay.
[referee whistles]
Hey, eli..
I'm sorry about the scholarship.
Uh-huh.
You're sorry enough to
give me the scholarship?
- What? No.
- Well, then go away.
Because you're the last
person I want any pity from.
It's not pity. I...
I-I know, what you're
trying to do, I do.
But it doesn't change the
fact that if you didn't exist
My entire future wouldn't be
in complete jeopardy right now.
So please..
Just leave me alone.
[instrumental music]
- What was that?
- Nothing.
Come on. I gotta
get my mom the car.
[instrumental music]
[faucet squeaks]
[eerie music]
Hannah, principal edwards
wants to see you in her office.
Take a seat, hannah.
Mom, is everything alright?
I'm afraid not.
Ms. Young brought
to my attention
Your recent term paper
on "wuthering heights."
Okay.
Something about it just
didn't feel right to me.
Your voice and vocabulary
sounded different
'so I ran it through one
of my software programs'
'that detects plagiarism
and it immediately matched'
'with this paper
by a grad student'
'that's published online.'
You didn't even
paraphrase from it.
- It's word for word.
- I don't understand.
- This isn't my paper at all.
- Hannah, it's identical.
(hannah) 'I've never seen
this paper before in my life.'
This is not the
paper I turned in.
Then why is this the only one
I have with your name on it?
I don't know,
but I can prove it.
I have it right
here on my laptop.
Okay, great, so maybe this is
Just all some sort
of misunderstanding.
(marianne) 'I
assure you, it is.'
My daughter would never cheat.
- What?
- What's wrong?
I can't find the file.
I even checked the
trash bin, it's gone.
Well, as you know,
the school has
A zero tolerance policy
when it comes to cheating.
I have no choice but to give
you a zero on the assignment.
But this term paper is
worth a third of my grade.
Not only will that tank my grade
'but it'll put my
scholarship in jeopardy.'
That's the other thing.
I'm obligated to disclose
this incident to the foundation.
I don't think it's
gonna end well for you.
'I am sorry, hannah.'
I am going to set up a
meeting with the foundation
So you can go in directly
and plead your case.
What's the point?
Without any actual
proof, how is that gonna go
Any better than it did
with principal edwards?
Are you sure that you didn't
save it to your jump drive?
Or-or what about my desk top?
Sometimes you do your
homework on my computer?
No, I didn't. I..
- Oh my gosh, mom, that's it.
- What?
I wanted to proof
read it during study hall
So I emailed it to myself.
That way I could pull it up
On the computer at the library.
Please tell me you
saved that email.
I deleted it from my inbox
But it should still
be in my sent folder.
Yeah. There it is.
I'm gonna call
principal edwards.
I'm gonna figure
out who did this.
(jane) I don't get it,
what does the janitor
Being mugged have
anything to do with your paper?
Well, that's the thing,
he wasn't mugged.
He was just knocked unconscious.
Okay, so..
So, that not a coincidence.
He was knocked out for a reason.
And I'm willing to
bet whoever did it
Is the same person that
switched out my paper.
So I just need to do is
sneak into the security room
Search the security footage
And I'll find out who it was.
Told her it was a bad idea.
It is not! This will work.
We just have to wait until
lunch when the library's empty.
But there's always a
security guard in there.
How are you gonna get him out?
That's where one
of you comes in.
Don't look at me.
I'm a terrible liar!
He such a wuss.
What do you need help with?
[knocking] hey, there's
someone trying to break into
People's cars outside.
(edwards) what are you doing?
It isn't me, principal
edwards. I swear.
Yes, it is and I can prove it.
How? You literally
can't make out a face.
If you zoom in you'll
see a sweatshirt
That says "kenzer university."
The same sweatshirt
that eli always wears.
Are you kidding? Tons of
people have the same sweatshirt.
Not that they wear everyday.
- Please, that could be anyone.
- Stop!
Both of you.
Look, hannah, I appreciate
you bringing this to my attention
But the way you went about it
was completely inappropriate.
You should have come to
me first with your suspicion
Instead of sneaking around.
Now, I'm afraid
that eli is right.
Without a clear face to identify
There is no way we can
know who that is in the picture.
[cackling]
If I were you, I wouldn't
look so smug, eli.
Because if I find any
evidence that that is you
Or you've any
involvement in this
I will call the police.
Am I clear?
Yes, principal edwards.
Good.
Now get outta here.
Hey! Wait up! I
wanna talk to you!
- Don't ignore me!
- Don't touch me!
If you ever try and get me
in trouble like that again...
We both know that's
you in that footage.
No, it wasn't!
And even if it was
me, it still doesn't prove
Who switched out
your paper, hannah.
You would need actual footage
from mrs. Young's classroom
And there are no
cameras in the classrooms.
Interesting that you
know that, don't you think?
Not really.
It's no secret that
I'm smarter than you.
The foundation
doesn't seem to think so.
Well..
Like I said, it's not
set in stone, now is it?
And if you keep
doing stuff like..
Breaking into security rooms
And making false accusations
And causing scenes..
Then the only person
you'll have to blame
For losing this
scholarship is yourself.
So please, by all means..
Keep it up.
You're just making
things much easier for me.
[bell rings]
I'm swimming in my head
I've been dreaming
on the edge
gotta follow what I know
visions in the night
captivated by the light
I'm surrounded by the glow
I miss you guys... So much.
God, ever heard of knocking?
Yeah, it's my house.
I don't have to knock.
Look, tiff and I are going
outta town for a while.
I don't know when
I'm gonna be back.
Tomorrow's mom's birthday.
Yeah, then we shouldn't
sit here and dwell on the fact
That she's not here to
celebrate it, now should we?
Right, just shack up with
your new flavor of the month.
Not like you cared
about her anyways.
Hey! If I didn't cared
about your mother
Then I wouldn't be stuck here
Raising an
ungrateful little brat.
You leave me to fend for
myself all the time, greg!
Yeah? Well, I gave you a life
That your dad
could've only imagined.
[scoffs]
God, I wish it was you
that died in that accident.
In two short months
When you turn 18, you're
no longer my problem
And you and I never have
to see each other ever again.
See, I do remember birthdays.
(greg) have a great night.
[vase shatters]
[vehicle horn honking]
[upbeat music]
(hannah) 'I can't believe
eli's going to get away with it!'
I mean, if that wasn't
him in the footage
Then why'd he try and
stop me from finding it
And rat me out like that?
Yeah, that's crazy.
Are you okay?
Yeah. It's just... My stepdad.
Where was he going anyway?
Who cares.
Sorry, I just really don't wanna
talk about him, if that's okay.
Yeah, okay.
Just know that I'm here.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
Do you want another soda?
- Sure.
- Okay.
Thanks.
[cellphone chimes]
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
Who's that?
James, this guy I met
from that clique app.
We were having a lot of fun
talking about kenzer next year
But he started to get
super jealous and weird
When I told him about
kevin asking me out.
Why? You guys never even met.
I know.
He apologized, but things
haven't been the same since.
To be honest, he's starting
to make me uncomfortable.
"I guess I'll have to get
your attention another way."
What the hell does that mean?
Well, those are beautiful.
Any secret admirers?
It's possible.
Now, I gotta say, I am
already liking this kevin kid.
They're not from kevin.
James?
Hannah, come on, you
promised me that you
Wouldn't give him your
personal information.
I didn't. I swear. I didn't
even give him my last name.
Well then, how did he
know where to find you?
I don't know, he
must have looked it up
Online or something.
What does this mean?
Well, I mean, tracking you
down, sending you these.
I mean, he's clearly
not respecting
The fact that you
just wanna be friends.
Oh, hannah, look, I, I
don't think that you should
Keep talking to this guy.
You're just encouraging him.
Really, I mean it.
[instrumental music]
[cellphone chimes]
- Hey.
- Hey, cutie.
- How's class?
- It was good.
- How was yours?
- It was okay.
[door creaks]
[phone dialing]
(woman on phone) 'hi, flower
spot. How can I help you?'
Yes, hi.
I-I was just calling to get
Some information on
A flower delivery.
[cellphone vibrates]
Phones away, please.
Thank you.
[cellphone vibrates]
Thanks for the ride.
Hannah, wait up.
Look, I-I really don't
think it's s good idea
For you to be
going out with kevin.
Why?
I just don't think he's
the right guy for you.
You know, I heard some
rumors and it sounds like
Lexi may have been
the one to dump him
Because of the
way he treated her.
Since when do you
listen to rumors?
Besides, lexi's probably the
one who started this to save face.
Maybe, but..
I mean, they just broke up.
I mean, don't you
think it's kinda fast
For him to move
straight on to you?
I just-I just don't
want you to get hurt.
I appreciate the big brother act
But I'll be fine.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Hey.
(marianne) hey, listen
honey, we need to talk.
I spoke with the
florist this morning.
They have no record of
those flowers being delivered.
What do you mean?
They spoke with
all their drivers
None of them delivered
flowers to this address.
Well, then who delivered them?
Well, uh, the lady said that
Since there's no record
That they were an
in-store purchase
So whoever bought
them, delivered them.
But that's impossible.
James doesn't even
live in california, mom.
- He lives in ohio.
- Or so he told you.
Well, why would he lie
about something like that?
I don't know, honey,
but if he's lying about this
What else is he lying about?
[gasps]
'what?'
I didn't tell you because
I wasn't totally sure
But I had this
really scary feeling
That someone was in
the house the other night.
- Wait, what?
- It was late.
And I was hearing noises.
And I could've sworn
someone was there
But when I checked, no one was.
Hannah, you should have told me!
It was the middle of
the night and I was tired.
I thought maybe I was making
it up and being paranoid, but..
What if it was james?
[sighing]
- What are you doing?
- I'm calling the police.
(detective wilson) was
there any sign of forced entry?
(hannah) no.
Was anything missing?
No.
Did they potentially
leave anything behind?
No.
Did you see anyone
Inside or outside of your home?
No, it was dark
but I've been getting
These aggressive messages
And I swear I heard someone
in the house that night.
(wilson) 'I'm afraid
without any hard evidence'
'there isn't anything I can do.'
Well, what about the fact
That he showed up at our home?
It's not a crime to
deliver flowers, ms. Davis.
And there is no proof that
he actually entered your home.
Besides, your
daughter said it was late.
I mean, maybe it all
was just a bad dream.
Listen, he-he lied
about where he lived?
You're not even
gonna look into it?
Ms. Davis, if I spent my time
investigating and arresting
Every person who has
ever lied on social media
The majority of the
population would be in jail.
Look unless, he's done something
to physically harm your daughter
Or sent her a direct threat..
Well, I mean, he warned
her that she was making
A big mistake and
that she would regret it.
(wilson) 'that's not a threat in
the eyes of the law, ms. Davis.'
Nowhere in any of his messages
does he express any intent
To cause any actual
physical harm to your daughter.
Look, my advice would be to
just have her to delete the app.
He'll get the point. Alright?
Just don't speak to him again.
He'll eventually move on.
[dramatic music]
Get those hands up.
You good?
Hey, give me one second.
Hey, can I help you out?
You don't recognize me?
No. I'm sorry. Should I?
What is this?
I was hoping you could tell me.
My name is eric. Not james.
I can't believe someone
is using my photo like this.
You're telling me this
isn't your clique account?
No. I've never even heard of
the clique app until just now.
I'm really sorry, but whoever
you've been speaking to
It hasn't been me.
You're definitely
getting catfished.
[tense music]
Hey, marianne.
[josh sighs] god,
that's terrible.
I'm so sorry.
Yeah, it's literally every
parent's worst nightmare.
This whole social
media thing, it's, ugh..
The-the police won't help.
So, now I have to
find my own it expert
To trace the account.
Well, I'm..
Certainly no expert, but I
do work in web development.
So, if it's just a
matter of tracing an ip..
Maybe I can help.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Thank you. That'd be great.
- Sure.
- I won't charge you too much.
- Oh, great.
- Ha-ha. Thanks.
- Ha-ha-ha.
(scott) 'I mean, he could
have been lying since you'
Basically ambushed him.
No. His social media
basically told me it wasn't him.
I just wanted him to
confirm it in person.
Plus, he doesn't
even talk like james.
Hannah.
Is he seriously beckoning you?
Oh, don't be like
that. I'll be right back.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Coach is wrapping
up practice early
But I just wanted to say goodbye
And that I'll see you
tomorrow at 7:00.
(kevin) I'm really
looking forward to it.
(hannah) yeah, me too.
- Cool.
- See ya.
Where did you go?
Water fountain.
Can we finish our workout now
Or is kevin going
to interrupt us again?
- Nope. I'm all yours.
- Great.
- Ready, set, go. Ha-ha-ha.
- Come on!
- Whoa!
- Whoa! Whoa-whoa!
You okay?
Yeah. Thanks to you.
I could have broke my neck.
(scott) someone
intentionally tried to hurt you.
'you're cancelling your
date tomorrow, right?'
I need a playboy
super smash game boy
he's on his way boy..
(hannah) yeah, it was, um..
Really hard on me and my mom.
I had no idea you were
having to deal with that.
- That's crazy.
- Yeah.
I mean, you hear about
those kind of stories
But you never think it's
going to happen to you.
So did you delete the app?
Oh, yeah. Heh.
No more chat rooms
for me for a long time.
[rock music]
Thanks for coming, everyone.
[indistinct chatter]
there's not a single
thing I wouldn't change
about my personality
[intense music]
or the food I ate
[music continues]
That was really, really fun.
Yeah. Heh.
I kinda don't want it to end.
Doesn't have to.
[music continues]
[tires screech]
[grunts]
[both groaning]
Oh my god, are you okay?
She's fine. I was
going to come get you.
She's got a nasty bruise
and a mild concussion
But nothing's broken.
Well, what happened to kevin?
I don't know. Uh..
They are having to
rush him to surgery.
Thank you so much.
Is he gonna be okay, mom?
I don't know, honey. I hope so.
Oh, I'm just so happy
that you're okay.
[instrumental music]
[elevator bell dings]
[machine beeping]
Hey. How do you feel?
Like I got hit by a car.
I guess this season
is over for me.
I'm so sorry.
Why? It's not your
fault some psycho hit us.
[tense music]
Hey.
I tried tracing the ip address
"james" sent the messages from
But he's using
a vpn to block it.
What's a vpn?
It's a software program
that encrypts your ip address
And re-routes it all over the
world to keep your personal data
Private and makes
it harder to trace.
- So, it can't be traced?
- No, it can.
It's just harder, and
it will take more time.
So, I gave it to a co-worker who
has more experience with that.
In the meantime, there
were some messages
That didn't go through a vpn.
Maybe it's because he was
communicating with hannah
On a different device
from a different location
He didn't have control of.
So I was able to
trace the ip address
To those messages.
Well, where did the
messages come from?
Hillside park high school.
[tense music]
(edwards) 'well, just
hold on one sec, okay?'
Let me just transfer
you to my cell.
Are you there?
Great.
Uh-huh. Well..
Tons of students use
those computers every day.
They're open to
the entire campus.
Yes, but the kids log
in to the computers
With their student id
and passwords, correct?
That is correct, but all the
computers use the same router
So they'll all have
the same ip address.
It's not like we can
just narrow it down
'to identify one specific one.'
If I may interject, each
computer's public ip address
'would be the
same, that is correct.'
'however, each computer has
its own private ip address as well.'
'I can give you that address
and we would just need'
'the login history of
that one computer.'
Once we have that, my
friend can match the messages
From whoever was logged
into that specific computer
At that specific time.
Well, I'm afraid I
can't legally disclose
The entire login list
due to privacy reasons.
But what I can do is, if you
give me the private ip address
And the exact time
the messages were sent
I will login and look.
(edwards) 'does that work?'
(marianne on phone) 'yes.
Thank you. Thank you so much.'
[suspenseful music]
[sighs]
[music continues]
Give me..
[groans]
[gasping]
(mrs. Young) 'class, uh..'
I'm afraid I have
some tragic news.
Your fellow classmate
Eli johnson, passed
away yesterday.
'he had a peanut allergy.'
'unfortunately, he was
in the library by himself'
After school when it happened.
The janitor found him, but
just wasn't soon enough.
'the school has brought
in grief counselors'
'on campus today for any
of you that need to talk.'
[tense music]
(edwards) 'I was able
to gain login access'
'on the computer that
your mother told me about.'
Although, in light
of recent events
I don't think it's
important anymore.
Why? Who was it?
Um..
It was eli johnson.
[instrumental music]
[cellphone chimes]
Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you.
Your mom heard
from principal edwards
And asked me to check on you.
Such an awful way to go.
At least you're safe now.
No, I'm not!
James just sent me a photo
of me sleeping in my room.
- What?
- He was in my house, scott.
Standing over me, as I slept.
- Let me see it.
- I can't.
It was a chatflash, so it
deleted after I opened it.
You know what this means, right?
Eli wasn't james.
But he had to be. He was the
one logged into that computer.
Or maybe someone
logged in as eli to frame him.
Well, if it's not eli,
then who the hell is it?
(hannah) 'whoever took that photo
of me didn't break a window or lock'
To do it, scott. They knew
how to get into my house.
Which means they could
do it again at anytime.
Is your mom working
a late shift tonight?
She was supposed to,
but she's getting it covered.
She said she'd be home at 5:00.
That's still two and
a half hours away.
I don't like the idea of leaving
you at your home by yourself.
Especially if someone
knows how to get inside.
I was thinking about
going to the gym.
You wanna come?
I don't really feel like
working out right now.
Well, they have a pool and
saunas. You could use those.
Just... Try and relax.
Yeah, okay.
[dramatic music]
[music continues]
[thudding on door]
(hannah) hello?
[beeping]
Hello?
Who's there?
[door handle rattling]
Hello?
Hey!
[grunting]
Help!
[beeping]
[coughing] help!
[coughing]
[music continues]
(scott) 'hey, hanna. I'm done.'
'you almost ready?'
Hannah!
Hannah, are you okay?
Are you okay? Hey!
Talk to me. You better?
[tense music]
(marianna) 'are
you serious? Okay.'
What-what about any witnesses?
Someone must
have seen something.
[sighs]
Okay. Thanks.
Well?
The police can't
find any witnesses
'who can recall anything.'
(scott) what about
the security cameras?
No, they-they wouldn't
have them in that area.
Are you sure that
you didn't see anyone?
No, when I went to check on her
All I heard was um..
Pounding and-and the
door was wedged shut.
I'm sorry I can't
be more helpful.
No, I.. Sweetie..
It's because of you
that hannah is alive.
[phone ringing]
It's detective wilson.
Yes?
[instrumental music]
Anymore hero talk
And you'll impossible
to deal with.
- Me?
- Hmm-hmm.
Never.
How you feelin'?
Just grateful you were there.
My mom's right. If you
didn't come when you did, I..
What can I say?
I have perfect timing.
And I'm not letting you
go anywhere. Okay?
You're gonna have to put up
with me for a long, long time, missy.
Better get used to it.
Sorry I wasn't
there to help you.
It's not your fault.
I'm just glad scott
checked on me when he did.
He seems to have convenient
timing a lot, doesn't he?
Don't you find it kinda weird
that every time you've had
One of these "episodes," it's
been when you're with him?
That he's always conveniently
been there to help save the day?
No, he hasn't. He wasn't there
when we got hit by that car..
Yeah, but, I was the only
one that was actually hit.
Someone he clearly
sees as a threat.
Scott would never hurt anyone.
I've known him my whole life.
He's like a brother to me.
That's the thing.
I don't think he wants
to be your brother.
- I think he's in love with you.
- What?
No, no. Scott does
not look at me that way.
You're just saying that
because you don't like him.
Maybe.
Look, I didn't
mean to upset you.
You're probably right.
How about we stop
talking about scott
And we focus on
more important things?
Like us.
Sorry.
Sorry.
[cellphone chimes]
[suspenseful music]
- You okay?
- Yeah.
Isn't your next class on
the other side of campus?
Yeah, but I had to grab
something from my locker
Real quick. Why?
No reason. I was just
surprised to see you.
- Okay.
- Oh, actually..
I'm really glad you're here.
Can I borrow your
phone really quick?
I forgot to charge
mine, so it died
And I wanna see if the neighbor
emailed me about the vpn.
Wouldn't he email your mom?
Uh, he said he would
email both of us.
- Thanks.
- Hey, guys.
Um, are either of
you up for studying
'for the history final tomorrow?
'cause I need to study.'
Yeah, that final is
going to kick my butt.
- Could we do it at your place?
- Yeah, sure.
Hannah, you in?
Huh?
For studying at
jane's after school?
Oh, no, sorry, I can't today.
Uh, you two have fun though.
What're you doing?
Oh, um, checking my email.
[cellphone chiming]
[knocking on door]
[tense music]
[knocking continues]
(jane) hannah, it's
me! Hannah! Hannah!
[gasps]
(hannah) what is going
on? Did you run here?
Yeah, we need to talk.
[panting]
Where did you get this?
Scott was over at my place
and he was acting really weird
So I snooped through
his things and..
It's not all I found.
Oh, my god.
Kevin always thought
it could've been scott
I just didn't want
to believe him.
Really? What did kevin say?
That he thought he
was in love with me.
And it wasn't a coincidence
how all these "episodes"
Happened when we were together.
Makes sense. You kept
focusing on eli and the fact that
He was at the bowling alley
the night we set up the clique app
But so was scott and that
would be the perfect way
For him to tell you how he feels
But then you
started dating kevin..
Which he kept trying
to talk me out of.
But something about
this doesn't make sense.
If he has feelings for
me it would make sense
Why he wants to hurt kevin,
but why would he wanna hurt me?
I don't think he
wants to hurt you.
I think he's just trying
to create these scenarios
Where he can be your
knight in shining armor.
But what about
switching out my paper
And almost costing
me this scholarship?
He didn't save me from that.
He didn't even know
I emailed to myself.
If you lose this scholarship,
you'll be going to palm vista..
With scott.
That's why he said he was sorry.
What?
He texted me like, 20 minutes
ago saying he was sorry
And when I asked what
for, he didn't respond.
What did he say when
you confronted him?
I didn't confront him, I just
came up with an excuse
And then came here immediately.
He's at my house
alone right now, hannah.
But if he texted you, that
means he knows I have his things.
- Where are you going?
- To confront him.
(jane) 'hannah, I don't
know if that's safe.'
Don't you think we
should call the cops first?
Yeah, I will,
after I talk to him.
Oh, my god.
What're you doing?
Well, I'm not going
to let you go alone.
If you're going to do
something crazy like this
I'm gonna be your back up.
- His car's not here.
- No.
He parked in the garage
because greg's not home.
[gate creaking]
[tense music]
Do you hear that?
Scott?
It's me, jane. I
need to talk to you.
Scott, it's hannah!
[smoke-alarm beeping]
(jane) 'hannah, I have
a bad feeling about this.'
[beeping continues]
[coughing]
[intense music]
Oh, my god! Scott!
- Scott! Wake up!
- I'll call 911.
I need you to wake up for me.
Come on, scott! Wake up!
[music continues]
[siren wailing]
- That's my daughter. Hannah!
- Ma'am, ma'am...
Oh, my god!
You girls okay?
It was scott. Scott was
james the entire time.
What?
No, that-that can't be true.
(wilson) 'I'm afraid
hannah's right.'
We found scott's
phone in his car.
It was, uh, open
to the notes app.
He, um, he'd written
a suicide note on it.
So, this is my fault?
If I hadn't taken his phone...
"the thought of you
moving across the country
"was too much for me to bear.
"I've always been in
love with you, hannah.
"I just didn't know
how to tell you.
"so I decided to show you.
Try to make you see
me in a different light."
[instrumental music]
'admits to all he did.'
[crying]
Honey, it's okay.
Nothing will break my heart
only these two
nothing will break my heart
oh and you too
push against me
and your best..
- How is hannah doing?
- Not well.
Which breaks my
heart, because I..
There's just really
nothing I can do
Or say to make
her feel any better.
Trust me, she's
going to be okay.
[instrumental music]
nothing will make us apart
if you let me
nothing will make us apart
if we choose to
stand with the
best at our worst
bruising but hopeful
breaking the curse
I'm crowding my heart
with all of this mess
Hey. Do any of you
know where kevin is?
- Hannah!
- Scott was right about you.
Scott tried to kill me for
even going out with you.
And he tried to ruin your life
for his own selfish reasons.
'he's not a good
person, hannah.'
Maybe, but neither are you.
Look, I never said
we were exclusive.
You're right. You didn't.
But you also weren't
completely honest either.
- Hannah...
- Bye, kevin.
- Hey.
- Hey.
That didn't look good.
- What a jerk.
- Mm.
- You know what we should do?
- Hmm?
Let's have a girl's weekend.
Greg's out of town and
you could come over
And we can take
your mind off of things.
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
(marianne) 'as you can imagine'
'it's been a very
stressful time for hannah.'
'she's been emotional and..'
'uh, in no way reflects
her usual performance.'
'yes, ye.. Yes.'
'that is more than fair.
Thank you so much.'
'and please thank the other
foundation board members'
'for me as well.'
[sighs]
Was that the
hemmingsworth foundation?
Yeah.
Look, principal
edwards called earlier..
The foundation's board
is really concerned
With your recent grades.
They're threatening to
take the scholarship away.
- Let 'em.
- What?!
Let 'em. I don't care!
I don't want this
scholarship anymore.
Hannah, you don't mean that.
Yes, I do!
That scholarship almost
cost me my best friend!
'after everything
I've been through'
Do you really think I care
about some dumb scholarship?
I know you that you
feel that way right now.
But that is just the
anger and grief talking.
You-you will feel differently
eventually, trust me.
'I called the board
and they said that'
'you can keep the
scholarship, if you can maintain'
'3.5 grade average, the
first semester of college.'
Wow!
Because a gpa is what matters
most right now. Right, mom?
Hannah.
[crying]
fill this void
fill this nothing
stand with the
best at our worst
losing but fight for
breaking the curse
I'm proud of this heart
and all of this mess
[school bell ringing]
Boy, did you dodge a bullet.
- You ready to go?
- Hmm-mm.
Jerk.
[hannah and jane laugh]
you can't you can't put
your fake smiles away
got you all..
I know, but maybe on-once
when he was making the real thing.
He always keeps
the mix in the pantry.
- I'm really glad we did this.
- Me too.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Stay crazy
all is care-free
they know you..
(jane) 'oh, my god.'
Do you remember
how cocky scott was?
- Ha-ha-ha.
- Willy-nilly.
[laughs] so bad.
- I know.
- Ha-ha-hah.
Do you think he's gonna wake up?
I don't know.
I'm just having a hard time
Wrapping my brain
around this whole thing.
It just doesn't
sound like scott.
Yeah.
He fooled us both.
I wish I could just talk to him.
Get some answers.
But he gave the answers
in the suicide note.
Something about it
just doesn't feel right.
I mean, we now know he
had a reason not to like kevin.
Maybe he really was just
being the protective best friend..
What if the phone
wasn't even his?
What if he found out who james
was and he took it from them?
Hannah..
I know you don't want to
believe that scott's capable of this
But, people do really
crazy things for love.
[doorbell rings]
Oh.
I think that's the pizza,
I'm gonna go get it.
Okay.
[tense music]
Damn it.
Are you kiddin'? Tons of
people have the same sweatshirt.
[music continues]
(jane) I'm still waiting to hear
back from my other choices
Including my
parent's alma mater.
[josh knocking]
marianne, it's me, open up.
[knocking]
It's josh. Please, open up.
Josh, what's wrong?
I just heard back
from my co-worker.
He finally managed to trace
the address and marianne..
It's not scott.
[intense music]
[exhales]
[hannah on voicemail] 'hi,
it's hannah. Leave a message.'
Where're you going?
My mom texted me.
She needs me home.
Looks like your mom
didn't teach you about
Going through people's things.
(jane) just like scott.
I didn't want to do it.
But I didn't have a choice.
[intense music]
I need you to go
to the police station
Ask for detective wilson and
tell them everything you know.
- But...
- Just go.
- Just do it.
- Okay, okay.
(hannah) 'you were
talking about going'
'to your parent's alma mater.'
'you were talking about kenzer.'
This is about my
scholarship, isn't it?
No. It's about my scholarship.
What are you talking
about? Eli was the runner up.
Yeah, he was.
But I knew I
couldn't be far behind
So I snuck into
principal edward's office
And it turns out I was
the second runner-up.
Me. He just had to go.
(hannah) you killed eli?
(jane) it's not my
fault he has allergies.
What about james?
(jane) I created james
for you to lose focus.
Create just enough
drama in miss perfect's life.
[line ringing]
Come on, pick up!
[dramatic music]
Hannah, where are you? Pick up!
No scholarship is worth
the things you've done.
No, hannah. See, that's
where you're wrong.
To you, kenzer's just another
ivy league school, right?
Yeah, but to me, it's
so much more than that.
I grew up with my mom
and dad telling me stories
About how they
fell in love there.
I was gonna go there and
follow in their footsteps.
I was gonna feel close to
them when I went to kenzer.
And you stole that from me.
No, I didn't. You
can still go to ken...
No, I can't, hannah!
You don't get it!
You don't get it, okay?
[crying]
I don't qualify for
enough financial aid.
Okay? Because my stepdad
makes too much money
But he's not gonna
help me at all because
Once I turn 18, I'm not
his problem anymore.
[instrumental music]
I don't even know if
I'm gonna have a place
[slurred] to live in
the next few months.
[slurred] hannah?
Hannah?
Good, right?
- You drugged me?
- 'I did.'
That's the whole reason
I brought you here.
[low pitched] it's only a
matter of time, hannah.
(jane) 'where're
you going, hannah?'
'there's nowhere to go!'
'ready or not'
'here I come.'
[intense music]
'you can't hide
from me, hannah.'
[intense music]
[music continues]
Hannah!
Hannah!
Hannah!
Baby!
(marianne) 'baby, come on.'
[grunting]
Okay. You gotta wake up, baby.
Wake up!
- Wake up, baby.
- Well..
If it isn't super mom coming
to save the day yet again.
Whatever this is
about, we can fix it.
This is your fault, you know?
'if you would have just
let hannah get away'
With her grades
slipping, and her cheating
None of this would
have happened.
I would have gotten
my scholarship
And your daughter
wouldn't have gotten hurt.
No one would've gotten hurt.
But you just keep getting in
the way, being the perfect mom...
The police are already
on their way. It's over.
We've all made mistakes.
We can walk out there together.
I promise I will
try to protect you...
No, because I won't
be going to kenzer!
No. No, I'm sorry, you won't.
You don't get it.
You don't get it at all.
I'm doing this for
my mom and dad.
I'm doing this to
make them proud.
I need to go to kenzer
to make them proud!
There has to be another way.
There's nothing...
I'm sorry, mama davis.
I really did like you.
[dramatic music]
[both grunting]
[yells]
[water splashes]
[both gasping]
[intense music]
[groans]
[marianne coughing]
[grunts]
What's going to happen to jane?
Well, she is going to
be in a world of trouble..
But hopefully
now, she'll get the
The mental help that she needs.
She was right about one thing.
I shouldn't take you
for granted, mom.
- I'm sorry.
- Oh, sweetie.
(marianne) 'what's
gonna happen next, but..'
- 'hey, sweetie. Oh..' - 'hi.'
Are you ready for
some good news?
Yes, please.
Well aren't you a
sight for sore eyes.
How are you feeling?
I'm good.
Your mom told me everything.
I'm so sorry I wasn't
there to help you.
Scott, I'm so sorry
For ever believing it
could have been you.
That fake note about
you having feelings for me
'should have been
a dead give away.'
- Wait, I'm...
- Don't worry, hannah.
I don't expect you
to feel the same way.
I need you in my life, hannah.
Even if it's that's
just as friends.
That's enough for me.
Really.
Well..
What if that's not
enough for me?
[instrumental music]
(female #1) 'it has
been a crazy year.'
'congratulations, everyone!'
[cheering]
(male #1) 'okay.'
[screaming]
[laughing]
- Ah!
- Whoa!
[hannah laughing]
oh I do I do
I do I love you
oh I do I do
I do I love you
with all my heart I
love you dear I do
[tense music]
Hey, you guys, come here.
Come gather around the
cake. I wanna get a photo.
- Grab the dog.
- Aww..
[chuckles]
(hannah) 'martin.'
[laughter]
I love you and you love me
Alright, all you
beautiful graduates
Make a wish for your futures.
Ah-ha!
Our friends and family
line our pathway
with sparks for me and you
oh I do I do I do I love you
oh I do I do I do I love you
oh I do I do I do I love you
and I do I do
I do I love you
I do
I love you
