8:05, just enough time to
get some tea and get to-
Good morning, Ms Powell, good morning.
Hey, Ted, good morning.
How's the family?
Oh, never better, thank you for asking.
All right, thank you
so much, have a good one.
All right, you too.
Okay.
Hey, Ms. Powell, what's happening?
Hey, Jim, say hello to
your mama for me, okay?
I got you.
Megan?
All right.
Megan.
Megan, good morning, Megan.
Hey, Ms. Flockhart.
I just wanted to come by
and tell you thank you for helping me
to choose the right
fertilizer for my Begonias.
Girl, you are so smart.
They look so radiant.
You welcome, okay.
You're welcome.
I really gotta go, okay?
Okay, I'm so sorry.
I know you have better things to do
than to talk to little old Ms. Flockhart.
No, you good.
Have a good day.
I'm gonna need your vote, though.
Yes, Megan for city council.
All right, now.
Hey, Jim.
What up, ma'am?
[Ms. Flockhart] Don't
step on my begonias now.
(engine hums)
(door closes)
(engine revving)
Thank you.
Thank you.
You having a good one?
(footsteps tapping)
(soft beat music)
Morning Professor Powell,
you look beautiful as always.
Thanks Amy, but call me Megan.
We cool and Professor
Powell sounds so uptight.
The usual?
You got it.
All right.
Chai tea latte, five pumps,
no water, whole milk,
coming right up.
You are so good.
Professor Powell.
I thought we discussed this.
It's Megan.
Megan?
Megan?
I'm sorry, have we met?
It's me, Damian, the little big head boy
that used to walk you home
from school in fourth grade.
Damian the Alien, how you been?
I'm fine, I'm fine.
But nobody calls me, The Alien, anymore.
Sort of grew into this head
over the years, thank God.
No, it still looks about the same size.
Got jokes, huh?
I'm playing with you now, you look,
you look great, you changed.
Thank you, but you're
preaching to the choir
because you look stunning.
Thanks.
What's it been, about 25 years?
Mm, really like 30 years.
You know, a lot can change in 30 years.
You are right about that.
So, you live here in Crystal Woods now?
I do, I moved here after graduation,
after I graduated college.
Okay, let me guess, school teacher.
Actually I'm a professor
at Springer University.
Well, I sort of figured that.
What gave it away?
Well, the flyers and the
posters all over the place.
Plus you were always the
smartest girl in grade school.
I remember I tried to copy
off your paper a few times,
but you would never let me.
The kids used to call you,
Egghead Meg, you remember that?
Oh, I tried to repress that memory.
Thanks for bring it back.
Well...
So, what do you do?
Well, I just own a small
little gun shop over on Hawkins.
Oh, okay.
What's the matter?
You have a problem against guns?
No, it's fine.
Your chai tea is ready.
Thanks, Amy.
Keep the change.
Thank you.
Alright, Damian, great running into you.
Hey, before you go.
Stay in contact, here's my
business card, my number's on it.
Call me when you're free.
Okay, thank you.
It's good seeing you.
(footsteps tapping)
(door closes)
I see you.
What?
I need to reconnect with her real soon.
Yeah, you do.
She's really good people, and
I think she needs someone.
Think so?
(soft beat music)
(birds chirping)
(door opens)
Good morning, Professor Powell.
You look amazing today.
Thanks, Barry, you too.
Is the president in yet?
Yeah, I think he came
in a few minutes ago.
Thanks.
Have a good one.
You too.
Sure.
What's this?
"The Brady Bunch?"
Martha, Martha, Martha.
Marsha, Marsha, Marsha.
Martha, like Marsha
from "The Brady Bunch."
Hey, hey, hey, what's going on here?
We got everything we need.
[Megan] Why y'all harassing her?
Why are you harassing her?
Follow me on Do it for
the Gram and find out.
Okay, okay, I'm talking to you.
Answer me.
Are you okay?
Yes, thank you.
No, they were really mean.
It's fine, thank you.
Are you sure?
Good morning, everyone.
I know some of you may be
wondering why I decided
to attend your faculty
meeting this morning
and I'll get to that.
But first, it is my honor and pleasure
and privilege as president
of this great university
to present the Faculty
Academic Outreach Service Award
to no other than Professor Megan Powell.
Powell, come on up here.
I hope you don't mind,
but I asked the chief editor
of "The Springer Gazette"
to be here.
It's only fitting that this
story will be front page
tomorrow.
All right.
(camera lens clicks)
Professor Powell, you accredit
not only to your faculty,
but also this university.
Your outstanding research
in forensic science
not only helped the police solve several
of their most important cases,
but also secured several
grants for this university.
It's only fitting we
recognize you with this award.
Now, of course, I could have
presented this certificate
at the graduation ceremony last year,
but as you are all aware,
the student with the gun
had the school locked down.
So, that may have been
a tad bit difficult.
But now since we're back to normal,
I figured why not?
Professor Powell.
Thank you, this is such
an honor and a surprise.
So, thank you so much.
Oh, professor Powell,
who are you kidding?
This is your third one
in the past five years.
If I have five more of you,
this will be the best
university in America.
Thank you.
(all applauding)
Student press, that'll be all.
Can you please give us a room, please?
Thank you.
Oh my God, had no idea.
Thank you.
Now, the other reason
why I call this meeting,
as some of you may be aware,
one of your colleagues,
a senior member of the
social science faculty,
a Professor Aaron Jackson,
has been embroiled in a bit of a scandal.
Screenshots and videos
have appeared online
of him soliciting sex from a minor.
Apparently he was horsefished.
Catfish.
Catfish, is that what it is?
Yes, catfish.
Thank you for that, I appreciate that.
Any who, the media has gone into a frenzy.
Aaron on his part is continuing
to plead his innocence,
but he's obviously
lying through his teeth.
As we speak, Aaron has
been suspended indefinitely
so we're handling things
at the highest levels.
But we also want to include his faculty.
Anyone who can give suggestions
on how we can ameliorate this debacle
from a faculty level, are most welcome.
These horrendous accusations really make
this great institution look really bad.
I think the further we
get away from Aaron,
the better it is for us.
I think we need to put it
out there that, you know,
we are no longer in business with him.
He's been fired.
I think we need to strip him of any awards
that this university
has bestowed upon him.
I think we need to find someone
to teach his class immediately.
Most importantly, we've gotta
get the word out to the media
and to the community that
we do not condone pedophilia
here on this campus, absolutely not.
Then it's settled.
Megan, you'll take over these classes
for the next foreseeable future.
Not me.
I don't think that's a good idea.
No, you're absolutely right.
We do need to take sterner steps,
but until then, we need to
steer clear of the press
and keep our noses clean.
We do not need another situation like this
coming up on campus, okay?
That's it, everyone.
Keep up the good work.
Oh, Megan, classes start in
11 minutes in lecture hall.
Such a hater.
You're such a hater.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
(indistinct chatter)
Girl, why is, he is like
always hating on me.
He mad because his shoe's too tight.
Girl, congratulations.
I'm so happy for you.
This is definitely
gonna help our campaign.
It is, but I had to
go ruin it in the end.
You know, me and my big mouth.
I already teach so many classes
and yes, I did major in forensic science,
but now I gotta teach a
senior criminology class.
Like make it make sense, that's a lot.
I'm sure that it's
just for a little while
or at least until they find
a replacement for Aaron,
that's all.
Oh, speaking of the campaign,
Professor Powell for city council.
I thought we were gonna stick with Megan.
Yeah, we was,
but I thought it added a little
professional touch to it, you know?
Oh, oh, okay.
It does, but it also makes
me sound like a stuck up
kind of know-it-all person
that throws her success in people's faces.
I need you to email me
the campaign materials
by this evening, okay?
Will do.
Poor Aaron.
He has really been thrown under the bus.
I have no sympathy for him.
Okay, what?
He made a mistake.
Haven't you done something
that you regretted doing later?
Absolutely not.
Not something so disgusting,
especially with my job
on the line.
I can't believe you're
defending this creep.
Okay, okay, wait, calm down.
I'm not defending him,
but I do think there's more to
the story that we don't know.
(indistinct chatter)
Good morning, class.
I am Professor Megan Powell.
And as some of you may know,
your criminology professor,
Aaron Jackson, is indisposed.
So for the foreseeable future,
I will be filling in for him.
Yes, and your name is?
Derek.
Okay.
So, you said that Dr.
Jackson was indisposed.
[Megan] That's what I said.
By indisposed you by any
chance, mean that he was fired
for trying to stick his
shriveled-up micro penis
into a 15-year-old girl?
(students laughing)
I want you outta my class now.
But Professor Powell?
I want you out of my class
now.
But Professor Powell,
all I did was ask a harmless question.
I didn't do anything wrong.
Okay.
Take it outside, get
out, you're disruptive.
Fine, Meg,
have it your way.
[Megan] Professor Powell.
Meg, have it your way.
Okay.
Let's go, guys.
Jesus Christ, did he really say that?
Well, why didn't you report him?
Look, I don't know if
it's enough rustication,
but I do know that this warrants
some type of punishment.
Well, Grace, I was so
mad when he said that
in front of all the other kids.
You know, I had to watch myself.
The only thing I could say
was, get out, you know?
These kids the way they are.
I don't wanna pour
gasoline on the situation.
So, it is what it is, I guess.
But anyways, thanks for meeting me here
and talking with me after
our last conversation.
Speaking of Aaron, he's come up missing.
Good, more people like
him need to come up missing.
Good for him.
Megan?
What?
I'm so serious, Grace.
Why are you even telling me this?
Like, who cares?
Because you're running for city council.
You need to know these things.
You have to know what's going on.
So, with that being said,
apparently there's some internet troll
that goes by the name of Derek Da Truth.
And he's taken responsibility
for those leaked videos
of Aaron sneaking around with
those students last year.
Ever since that happened, he got fired.
His family hadn't been able
to get in contact with him.
So, I did some digging on my own.
And what I found out is that
this isn't the group's first victim.
A lot of people have
lost their livelihood,
because of those manipulated videos.
Whoever he is, he and his
group needs to be stopped.
Yawn, can we change the subject?
Sure.
Well, while I was digging
in his background today,
I did a little bit of
digging into yours as well,
just to make sure that
nothing unexpected comes up.
Grace, I already told you
I'm as clean as a whistle.
Well, I just want to make
sure as your campaign manager,
I have to be prepared for anything.
Okay.
I did find something,
but it wasn't easy.
I have an IT friend and he's
able to do a internet sweep
and he did a detailed search on you.
Okay, did he find anything?
(soft beat music)
(phone chimes)
I just sent it to you via text.
Okay.
Do know that that's the only copy
and he was able to delete the footprint.
Speaking of delete, I want
you to take my phone, here,
delete it outta my sent,
received and my trash.
Okay, now you have me a little worried.
Oh, no, no, no.
Don't look at it right
now, look at it later.
I have a long weekend with...
(soft beat music)
I need to make some changes
to your campaign poster.
I'll talk to you later.
Mm-hmm.
(soft beat music)
(footsteps tapping)
(door closes)
These things go right through you.
(Megan sighs)
(footsteps tapping)
(door closes)
(footsteps tapping)
(soft beat music)
(objects crunching)
Amy, did you see my phone?
I swore I left it on the counter.
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't.
I was so busy to taking orders to notice.
I can-
You sure you brought
it in here with you?
Am I sure?
Of course, I'm always on my phone.
Oh, I haven't seen it.
It's gotta be here.
Excuse me, hi.
Did you see a cell phone
here with a purple case?
No.
Are you sure?
No.
Megan, look,
I will personally look for your phone.
Just call the store later and
I'll let you know something.
I got you.
All right, I need that phone.
Let me know, okay?
Yeah, I'm gonna look, yeah, yeah.
(engine rumbling)
(Megan sighs)
(door opens)
(keys jingling)
(door closes)
(footsteps tapping)
(keys jingling)
(door opens and closes)
(footsteps tapping)
Oh, what a day.
(shoes tapping)
(Megan sighs)
What a day.
(tense suspenseful music)
What time is it?
My phone.
Oh God, I've been sleep all night.
(door opens and closes)
Oh, there she is, there she is.
[Influencer] She's coming, she's coming.
What are y'all doing?
Good morning, Ms. Flockhart.
You sick, filthy, depraved woman.
(engine revving)
(door opens)
(dog barks)
(engine hums)
(horn honking)
There she goes.
(footsteps tapping)
What happened to my posters?
Please tell me you found my phone.
Please, please, please.
Yeah, put it over here.
I know you were coming.
Oh, thank God, thank you so much.
Where'd you find it?
On the table where you sat yesterday?
Okay, now that's weird
because we all looked right,
didn't we?
Yeah, we did.
And we didn't see it, wasn't there.
No, it wasn't.
I got a gang of text messages.
Yeah, it's been rigging nonstop.
Hmm, it's funny, right?
It's like, I'm like more
popular than the mayor.
Right.
Anyways, thank you so much.
You are a lifesaver, Amy.
Appreciate you, all right?
I'll see ya.
Meg?
Yeah?
Nevermind.
Have a great day.
Have a good one.
Okay.
(footsteps tapping)
(indistinct chatter)
(tense suspenseful music)
(door closes)
What?
What the fuck?
Oh my God.
(tense suspenseful music)
Oh my God.
What the fuck?
(birds chirping)
Sorry, I'm late class,
had a really hectic night.
All right, let's get started.
Turn to chapter 13, serial killers,
(Derek laughs)
and identify...
Young man, excuse me.
Who, me?
Yes, what do you think you're doing?
It's called watching a video.
Okay, well, does the video have anything
to do with today's lecture?
Yeah, actually it does.
Okay, well I guess you wouldn't mind
the rest of the class seeing this video.
Oh sure, yeah, let's all watch it.
Hey, do you wanna watch a video?
Do y'all wanna watch a video?
Hey Lindsey, do you wanna watch the video?
[Megan] I love big black dicks.
Come on boys, come on.
About get me some of these ballers.
Gimme the big ones.
And I'm not talking about a three point.
(Megan moaning)
Good content gets
around quick, doesn't it?
(all laughing)
Oh, professor Powell,
I think it's your turn
to leave the classroom.
Awkward.
Help, help.
[Student] Awkward.
(students laughing)
(door opens)
(door closes)
President Mitchell, I just wanted to...
(Mitchel sighs)
Yes, Professor Powell, you were saying?
I just wanted to apologize
for the unpleasantness,
from the leak of the video.
I really didn't mean
for that to happen and-
Unpleasantness?
Due to the fact that this
information came last night,
I was unable to go out and
have time with my family.
This is the second scandal
we've had in a matter of days
and social media is going viral.
In fact, the American Council of Education
is now investigating and
if they watch 30 seconds
of your gang bang video
that's circling around now,
we all may have to apply at
Wendy's by the end of the week.
So, unpleasantness does not
do this situation justice.
And I wish the video of
you taking on (indistinct)
basketball team was the
worst one that leaked.
But we know it's not.
These are the most disgusting
videos I've ever seen in my entire life.
How could you disrespect
yourself like that?
It was, it was only three guys.
[Mitchel] Only?
Wow, Megan.
I was at freaknik.
It was over 15 years ago,
I was drinking and smoking.
I didn't, I don't usually do that.
And I don't even know what happened.
No, no, no.
For heaven's sakes, Megan,
how did this video ever get out?
Megan, it doesn't matter if
it was 10 or 20 years ago.
The fact is the whole
world has seen this video
and heard all the disgusting
things you said about men.
And I don't know if it's
a blessing or a curse,
but you look the exact same as
you did then on those videos.
I'm gonna have to let you go.
Effective immediately.
Your employment with this
institution is hereby terminated.
All the awards you received
are required by law to be returned.
Get your things out by the end of the day
and clear the campus.
That'll be all, Megan.
But, I...
That will be all, Megan.
Okay.
(soft percussive music)
Hey, Grace, thanks for
agreeing to meet me here.
Of course, Megan, I
always have your back.
We just have to be careful just
in case someone's recording
or that they see me with you.
So, how are you holding up?
Not good.
My life is falling apart.
My bills are through the ceiling.
No school will hire me in
the Western hemisphere.
Not even a high school.
Everywhere I go, people point
at me with their fingers
or worse, their cell phones.
I am in a living hell right now
and I don't know how much
more of this I can take.
And I'm too embarrassed
to go to the pharmacy
and get my meds.
Meds?
What are you taking meds for?
Don't worry about that.
Have you spoken to President Mitchell?
Oh, about that.
He's not having it.
And just the mention of
your name, he flips his wig.
In fact, if he knew I was
secretly meeting here today,
he probably throw a gasket.
Listen, social media is
all over this right now.
And I don't think the option
of you coming back right now
is something that he's
willing to entertain.
Maybe if you just
like brought it up more-
Megan, you basically stared in a porno
with a whole basketball team.
And then just to think you went off
and said that men are only good for money
and filling your three holes
because you think that they're
brainless and worthless,
male slaves?
Buy 'em and sell 'em to the next woman?
What were you thinking?
You and your IT guy are behind this.
Don't do that.
You know that you were the
last one to have those files.
11 years, I worked hard.
These people, not even a severance package
or letter of recommendation
to keep me warm at night.
All because of something
stupid I did in my past.
I slave for these people for years,
I do my work and they're gonna
throw me away like trash?
Just like my mom.
I'm gonna find who's
responsible for ruining my life
like this, oh yes.
And I'm gonna make them pay.
I guaran-fucking-ty it.
Megan, listen, it's gonna
be okay, I promise you.
I'm gonna talk to Mitchell again
and if anything changes,
I'll be sure to let you know.
And just to think all this happened
when you lost your phone here.
(tense suspenseful music)
You know what, I gotta go.
You take care of yourself, okay?
(footsteps tapping)
(tense suspenseful music)
Hi, Amy.
Professor Powell.
The usual.
Oh, I'm sorry, I don't
have all the things here.
I can go to the back and get it.
Okay.
(suspenseful music)
(door opens)
(door closes)
So, there was a camera over my phone now.
Yeah?
Yeah?
Yeah, show me the goddamn footage, now.
Find it.
Professor Powell,
You are hurting me.
I don't get, you ain't seen nothing yet.
Okay.
July, 6th,
6:00 pm, find it.
I'm going to it now.
Here.
You're being a good girl now,
listen, listen to Megan, okay?
Professor Powell-
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
okay, wait, wait, rewind.
Stop.
Zoom in.
Ah, nice, nice.
That's exactly what I needed.
Okay, now, send that to my
phone like a good girl, okay?
You're not gonna tell anybody.
No.
You gonna keep your mouth shut.
If you don't and I find out,
I will fuck you up.
(tense suspenseful music)
(door opens and closes)
(keyboard tapping)
Hey guys, Platinum here, and
I got tea for you all today.
For several months, this
online group called Da Truth
have been on a rampage
for likes and popularity.
I mean, they have been targeting
everybody in the community,
community leaders,
politicians, celebrities.
They keep going and
trolling until these people
are losing their jobs.
I mean, these people are coming
up missing and everything.
And when I tell you the
trolling just never end,
this group is ran by
someone named Derek Meyer.
He's like the son of someone
that has a lot of money
and he's a tech genius.
And I just thought I had to tell y'all.
So, that's it.
It's Platinum D and I am
signing out with the Ts.
(Megan sighs)
A few months ago, me and my
team released explicit videos
on Professor Megan
Powell to show the world
who she truly is.
A back page male bashing freak
who doesn't deserve to be
anywhere near a school.
And in the meantime, she has lost her job
at Springer University.
But yet this is not enough
to atone for her sins.
We have access to even more
explicit videos in details
on Megan Powell.
And we intend the whole world to see them.
We are Da Truth,
[All] And we are watching.
Fuck.
(fist taps)
(tense suspenseful music)
You think you're gonna get away with this?
Doing this to me?
You won't.
All of you gonna go.
Every last one of you.
(Megan sniveling)
(hand taps)
(Megan sniveling)
You will not get away with this.
(tense suspenseful music)
(tense suspenseful music continues)
(tense suspenseful music continues)
This guy who I did not remember.
So, I walked right by him.
He takes me by the arm
and he's like, you're being so rude.
Like I, he like- Megan.
Megan, is that you?
Man.
Damian, what are you doing here?
I live right there.
Hey, hey, what's wrong?
I've been waiting for you to call me
since we met at the cafe a few months ago.
Okay, I've been busy.
You ain't looking so good.
I'm fine.
Yeah, no, you're no fine.
I'm fine, I gotta go.
Take a beat.
You got a wound on your finger.
Why don't you come inside
with me and put a bandaid on.
I'll be fine.
I'll take care of it.
Come on, Meg, please.
It'll just take a second, I promise.
Come on.
Come on.
That should do it.
Thanks.
What were you doing with
that big ass kitchen knife
in your pocket anyway?
It's for protection.
Protection, huh?
I'd hate to run into you in them streets.
Look, I really gotta get outta here.
I gotta get going.
Hey, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, sure, sure.
But before you go, have a shot with me.
The tequila will help that bleeding.
I'm good.
Come on.
Just one shot.
You're in a safe place.
(glass tapping)
Come on, let's do it.
(glass clinking)
(glasses tapping)
I see you, I see you, okay.
You know I'm glad I gotta
see this incredible woman
that egghead Meg turned out to be.
Incredible woman, huh?
I guess somebody hasn't been
on social media much lately.
That's just fake news.
I wish we had did this earlier.
Talk sooner,
so I can get to know you,
but I guess on me owning a gun
shop was a red flag for you?
So, many people think
that guns are violent
and they hate 'em, I
think they're important.
Sometimes it's the only thing between you
and the funeral home.
(melancholic music)
(Megan sighs)
I don't hate guns.
(melancholic music)
I'm scared of 'em.
(melancholic music)
Ever since my mom died,
I've been scared of guns.
To be more precise,
ever since my mom blew her brains out.
I know that that has
to be difficult for you.
It is.
I couldn't go a block
without someone pointing
and staring and looking at me.
So, it was probably time to go.
I never thought I'd be going
through something like that
again in my life.
And I can't believe I was that naive.
Hey, look at me, look at me.
I don't believe that was being naive.
I believe it was just being human.
So, why'd you leave Everglade County?
Well, my dad got a job in another town
and I was bullied all the time.
Really?
There was this one kid,
he just wouldn't let it go.
What was his name?
Dutch, Butch.
Butch Fenderson, that was his name.
I remember that kid, he was a dick.
Yeah, he was.
But you didn't know the worst of it.
He would, he would just torment me.
He would spit balls in
the back of my head,
as a matter of fact, he was the one
that gave me the nickname
Damian the Alien.
Sounds like he really
had it out for you.
Yeah, but I got the last laugh.
Yeah.
You promise not to tell anybody?
Who am I gonna tell?
Scout's honor, okay.
Well, I snuck into the school's infirmary.
I read his records.
Turns out he's allergic to
pickles, deathly allergic.
Swapped out pickles on his
sandwich in the cafeteria,
while he lied there in pain,
I made sure I made eye contact
with him just to let him know
that I was the one that did it.
Yeah, his punk ass knew it was me.
Yeah.
Do you ever feel like
you're somebody else?
What do you mean?
Nevermind.
I gotta go, it's late and
I should probably leave.
I gotta get home and-
Listen, before you leave,
can I gift you with something?
It's just a little protection
so you don't run around
stabbing yourself again.
And it has protective measurements.
Can I show you how to use it?
Yeah.
All right.
So, this is your opening
mechanism blade side down.
That's the sharp side.
You use this side to slice and cut meat
and you use fast stabbing
motions for quick bleed out.
To close it, push the
mechanism to the left.
(knife clicks)
It's all yours.
Thanks.
I'll practice this at home.
Really?
You should.
Gotta wash that blood off.
I gotta go, okay.
Really?
Yeah, thank you.
You got, can I get your number
before you leave so I can call?

(soft melancholic music)
(lips smacking)
What?
What's the matter?
I don't know, Brandon,
should we really be doing this?
Doing what?
I mean this, this is fucked up.
We just left Courtney's
funeral when you had had
that inspiring speech
act just a few hours ago
and now we're making out in your car.
What if someone sees us?
What?
Are you kidding me?
You know Courtney meant nothing to me.
She was a massive bitch.
Everyone hated her.
It's sad that she's dead,
but it pretty much saves me the trouble
of having to dump her.
I know, I know.
It just feels fucked up is all I'm saying.
Regardless of whether
she was in a way or not,
she was still your girlfriend.
What if it was me that got
their necks sliced open?
Would you be in the car the next day
making out with some girl?
No, no.
Of course not.
I mean I'd probably let a week pass,
but definitely not the next day
[Lindsey] Go fuck yourself, Brandon.
(door opens and closes)
Lindsey, come back.
I was just joking.
And where are you going?
Fuck.
(door opens)
(trunk closes)
Fuck.
Ain't like you wasn't fucking
me entire past two years.
Oh, I see you changed your mind.
Yeah.
(knife slashes)
(can clanking)
(police siren wailing)
(indistinct radio chatter)
(gloves stretching)
Detective.
[Detective] Let 'em through.
Let 'em through.
(police siren wailing)
(indistinct radio chatter)
Special Agent Jessica Montoya, FBI.
Welcome, Special Agent.
And this is my partner, Evans.
Welcome.
So, what have you got?
Well, we're not really
yet sure of the motive,
but his neck is cut.
Now, this victim here is a
Springer University student.
We noticed a few cans of
open beers in the car.
So, we not sure if he was passed out
or someone just randomly came by.
Oh, we also found an unopened condom.
So, it's safe to say this guy was unlucky
in more ways than one. (laughs)
That's where we at.
(indistinct radio chatter)
This was a vengeance murder.
Oh yeah?
How could you tell?
For starters, the victim's
neck was cut from behind.
Most likely it was someone
he knew that murdered him.
And the pattern of blood
splatter confirms this theory.
Judging by the lack of resistance
in his hands and fingers,
he definitely knew the killer.
There's no evidence of fight or struggle
or physical altercation
leading up to the murder.
This was either a surprise or a setup.
In other words, the person
had to be conversing
with the victim leading up to the murder.
And the cut matches the
murder of Courtney Stone,
which now makes this the second
Springer University senior
from the same class to be
murdered within the same week.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
So, are you telling me that you think
this is a related murder?
I don't think it is, Detective.
I know it is.
Now I also know that we seem to have
a possible serial killer on our hands.
So, from here forward,
the FBI will be taking
over this investigation.
Please send the files and the
forensic reports to my office,
ASAP.
Yes, ma'am.
Detective, you can go.
(indistinct radio chatter)
Well, where to next?
Where else?
Springer University.
[Special Agent Evans] Thought
I was done with college.
Damn this, man, they
come down here all the time
thinking they just know
what they doing, man.
We had this under control.
Had this under control.
(phone chimes)
The hell is he doing?
(phone taps)
What are you doing?
What?
I said what are you doing?
[Damian] What's it look like I'm doing?
I'm washing your car.
I know that but I didn't ask you to.
[Damian] You didn't
have to, it needed it.
I don't care what it needed.
I never even gave you my address,
so how the hell you get it.
[Damian] Well, first of all,
you're a community leader,
so it wasn't that hard
finding you using Google.
Oh great, so, now you're
a stalker, stalking me.
Oh man, it's a serial
killer on the loose.
Hide your kids, hide you
wives, hide your pets.
They killing folks over
on that university.
Yeah, man, listen, two
weeks ago I told y'all,
Springer University senior,
Courtney Stone, lost her life.
Yeah, roommate found her
stabbed all up, they stabbed the girl.
What they do to that,
just stabbed up, you know,
found in an apartment, stabbed up.
Now, here we are a few days later.
Unfortunately, gotta report this too.
Another senior at Springer
University, Brandon August,
lost his life.
Now they didn't tell us he
got stabbed, cut up, choked.
Ain't no, they ain't even
tell us what it was, you know?
But lemme just tie this
story together for you.
Brandon was found in the
early hours Monday morning,
'cause he was drinking.
He was drinking 'cause he
was dealing with the death
of his girlfriend, then watch this.
Guess who his girlfriend is?
You ain't gonna believe this.
You ain't gonna believe his girlfriend.
Courtney, the same girl that
got stabbed up two weeks ago.
Oh man, there's a serious
killer on the loose.
What y'all talking about?
Talking about just, oh we
just, ain't no speculation man.
My mind ain't playing no tricks on me.
There's a serial killer on the loose.
RIP Courtney.
RIP Mr August.
(phone chimes)
The hell is he doing?
(phone taps)
Freshly squeezed.
I don't mind if I do, thank you.
Okay.
(Damian burps)
Don't my mind me, outdoor
work makes me thirsty.
Does look a lot better.
I don't mean to not sound appreciative,
but don't you have a gun
shop to run or something?
Well, it's my weekend off,
so I figured I'll use it
to relax a little bit.
Mm, I hate to know what
your idea of work is.
The same thing.
It just depends on who I'm doing it with.
Okay, well you are welcome
to take a shower inside,
because you smell like outdoors.
Yeah, it's bad.
Mm.
At least I don't smell like ass.
So, I wanted to do
something nice for you
and make you a little spaghetti.
But if you just eat around the,
the cinch part is actually quite good.
You you mean this part right here?
The hard part, that
part, I just got a little,
You know what?
How about we just drink the wine?
Okay.
Cheers.
Cheers to that.
I tried.
So, let me ask you a question.
If you can go anywhere in
the world, where would it be?
Oh, I've always wanted
to go to South America.
Like Brazil or Chile.
Hmm, that sounds nice.
Maybe one day we can go
to one of those places.
We?
We.
Oh we, we, a lot of wes going on like,
what is this, French class?
Sure is.
Let me ask you, what
were you and my neighbor
talking about?
She wanted to know how you
stayed so gorgeous for so long.
[Megan] Be serious.
And I told her I'm still
trying to figure it out myself.
No, for real, I wanna know.
Well, if you must know,
she was asking me how
much you were paying me
to wash your car.
And I told her wasn't charging anything
because we're friends.
And then she started asking me
how could I still be a friend
after I learned what you had done.
And I told her, that was so
long ago, it doesn't matter.
And you're a totally new person now.
Sounds like you two had
quite the conversation.
You could say that.
But I think I got through to her, though.
Really?
Yeah, then she started talking about
since you work outside
how much I would charge
to trim her bushes.
And I told her I don't date
women two times my age.
That's not what she meant, stop.
Well, she was right about one thing
and you are a friend of mine,
but there's so much more than that.

Don't contaminate
the crime scene, Evans.
So, were there any eyewitnesses?
No, ma'am.
Janitor found her like this around 7:00 am
when she came into work.
So, how did she get in here
before the janitor arrived?
See Brenda, she's the captain
of our women's water polo team
and she's one of the few
persons who has a spare key
to the gym and the weight room.
She comes in early so she
can do a video sessions
for social media.
Does that work?
The cameras?
Yeah, we have cameras everywhere.
Where can we find the security feed?
Not a problem, follow me, I'll show you.
Stop.
Right there.
Thank you, Barry, that'll do for now.
Could you give us a minute?
Sure, I'll be outside
if you need anything.
Thank you.
Well, looks like we
finally found our perp.
You know, whoever she is-
She?
How do you know that's a woman?
Well, slender frame, wide
hips, gait and posture.
It's all a dead giveaway.
But beyond that, I would
just call it a hunch.
So, like I was saying, whoever she is,
she sure seems to know an awful
lot about the campus grounds
and the students' personal schedules.
In fact, I'd wager that
these two know each other
but not intimately.
So, how do you wanna play this?
I think it's about time we started
questioning the teachers.
Hey, Lynn.
Z, where were you?
I was waiting for you
the past fucking hour
for you to show up.
I'm only two minutes late.
I don't want to hear it.
Why the hell is Derek?
He called, he said he was running late.
You know Derek, he always
likes to make an entrance.
Are you fucking shitting me?
Some crazy lunatic is targeting us
and you're still worried
about making an entrance?
Shh, keep your voice down.
You don't want everyone to hear us.
I don't fucking care who hears us.
I was with Brandon the night he died.
It's like one minute we're swapping saliva
and the next he sliced
open like a can of sardines
on the side of the street.
And then they found
Brenda's body this morning
with half of her intestine spill out
all over the weight room floor.
Like, like a busted fucking
watermelon sliced open.
If we don't do something quick,
it's going to be us next.
Hey, man.
Sorry I am late.
I was just putting the finishing
touches on our next reel.
Derek, would you stop
with the fucking reel post.
Don't all lives matter to you?
I don't understand what the problem is.
Lindsey's convinced we're being targeted
for the interviews and videos you dropped.
Of course we're being targeted.
You think it's some kind
of fucking sick coincidence
that three of us have been killed
in the past two fucking weeks?
Calm the fuck down, Lindsey.
We all know the risks that
go with the work we do.
I promise everything's under control.
Oh yeah?
How so?
I hacked into the FBI servers
and I know for certain that
they have agents on the way
to investigate the matter further.
I even went a step further
and privately emailed the FBI
all the information that I have gathered
with all the interviews we've done
and names we've dropped, okay?
I assure you that they will
have agents that'll gun 'em down
in cold blood, give it
a day, two days tops.
All we have to do is just sit back
and let them do their job.
So, who do you suppose it is?
I don't know, I don't
fucking care either.
Whoever he is, he's dead meat.
And that's the truth.
I bloody hate him.
Damian, you cannot keep
showing up like this unannounced.
We have got to have a serious
conversation about boundaries.
I know I'm, and I'm sorry,
but I just wanted to see
you so bad and say hi.
Especially after we didn't get a chance
to say bye the other day.
Where'd you go anyway?
Okay, this conversation
couldn't wait until tomorrow
or until at least I'm fully awake?
So true.
I guess I'll see you later, okay?
Yeah.
What's that?
This, that's my gun.
I'm a gun shop owner, so I
pretty much have to carry
all the time.
Are you okay?
Yeah, it's just that when
my mother was killed, died,
I was the one that found her
body with the gun next to her.
The gun she used to kill herself.
And I'll never forget that
sad face that she had.
I don't get much sleep now because of it.
My mother may have pulled the trigger,
but it was my father
that gave her the gun.
My father was a big gambler.
He was always trying to get
stuff to make my mom happy.
She always thought that he
didn't give her enough things.
So, he gambled to get this fake perception
of being a millionaire.
(melancholic music)
The burden that my father put on himself
made my mom really resent herself
for turning him into a gambler.
You know, he did all that
to try to make her happy.
And that resentment is what
made my mom wanna kill herself.
She left a note and it said,
"Now you can go live your life
and you don't have to try
to make me happy anymore."
(soft melancholic music)
I swore I would never
let that happen to me.
I got involved with
some really bad crowds.
I was messing up
and then I finally got it together.
I studied hard and I went to school
and I created a career from scratch.
But I still could never ever shake
that image of my mother's face.
(soft melancholic music)
First it started with
nightmares, then hallucinations.
(soft melancholic music)
And I was diagnosed with
depersonalization disorder.
Sometimes I feel like and act
like I'm not in my own body.
You know, it's like I'm a
backseat driver in my own car.
In other words, I'm pretty fucked up.
Meg, look, I don't care what you did
and I don't care what people say.
All I care about is you.
(soft melancholic music)
It's getting late.
You wanna spend the night?
Thought you'd never ask.
Okay, well, there's a couch.
It's all yours.
Are you serious right now?
(doorbell rings)
(door opens)
Can I help you?
Good morning.
I'm Special Agent Jessica Montoya
and this is my partner, Evans.
Is Professor Megan Powell at home?
We'd like to speak with her.
Yes, yeah, sure.
Come on in, I'll go get her.
Hey, Meg!
(tense suspenseful music)
Hello, would you two
like anything to drink?
Maybe some water, coffee?
A glass of water would be great, thanks.
Okay.
(footsteps swooshing)
(door opens)
(glasses clink)
(door closes)
(water sizzling)
(suspenseful music)
(water sizzling)
(suspenseful music)
(footsteps swooshing)
There you go.
Thank you.
You are welcome.
So, what's this pertaining to?
Perhaps, Mr?
Damian.
Damian, could give us a little privacy.
Oh no, Damian's my boyfriend.
So, anything you need to say
to me, you can say around him.
If you insist.
We just wanted to ask you
a couple of questions.
Pertaining to what?
Pertaining to the
deaths of Courtney Stone,
Brandon August, and Brenda Gale.
Three students from Springer
University that have passed.
I haven't taught at Spring University
for three months since they fired me.
Perhaps you didn't get the memo.
Yes, but you were
teaching there for 10 years
prior to that, is that correct?
Yes.
And before your time
as a college professor,
you graduated summa cum
laude from Brown University
with a major in forensic science
and a minor in criminology.
Also correct.
And during that same time,
you interned for a year
with the United States Marshal Service
and were even offered a
position upon graduation.
But you turned it down due
to unexplained reasons.
I don't like guns.
And while you were
at Springer University,
your forensic research
was so groundbreaking.
You help local law enforcement put away
several suspected felons.
Are you gonna ask me any real questions
or are you gonna ride my dick all morning?
That's right, I almost forgot,
(suspenseful music)
not only are you highly
educated and trained,
you also have a documented history
of mental illness and
complex psychological trauma.
All right then professor,
here's some real questions.
Where were you last
Saturday morning at 6:00 am?
I was in bed with Damian.
He can confirm that.
(suspenseful music)
Before you were fired,
you had a confrontation
with one of your students,
one Derek Meyer?
He was a little shit.
He disrupted my class,
so I asked him to leave
and the herd went with him,
because they obviously share one brain.
Six students left your class that day
and at least three of them
have been murdered since.
It's quite the coincidence,
don't you think?
Look, if you think I killed
three students from my class
that I was teaching on
an interim basis only
just because of a disruption in the class,
then you're dumber than you look.
I guess the FBI lets anyone
in there these days, huh?
Like this girl.
What if I were to tell you,
we have photo evidence
placing you at the gym at
the exact same time
Brenda Gale was murdered.
Bullshit.
I haven't stepped foot
into Spring University
since they let me go.
So, if you don't have any
real questions for me,
I'd appreciate it
if you got the hell outta my house.
You're probably right.
And we seem to have
overstayed our welcome.
(suspenseful music)
Listen, we both know you're the one
who killed those students.
You're the only one smart
enough to do it so flawlessly.
Annoying little shits, aren't they?
You know, they probably had it coming,
especially after what they did to you.
If it were me in your shoes,
I'd want revenge on
every last one of them.
There's not a jury in the world
that wouldn't understand that.
So, why don't you come with us quietly
and we could put an end
to all this madness.
What do you say?
How you done?
Goodbye, Detective Montoya.
Don't let the door hit
you on your way out.
(footsteps swooshing)
(door opens and closes)
I am really sorry you
had to be here for that.
Yeah, are you kidding me?
I'm just glad I was here to support you,
but it didn't look like
you needed my help at all.
I do have one question, though.
Did you have anything to do with this?
Of course not.
I didn't think you did it,
but I just needed to hear it for myself.
I didn't know we were already
boyfriend and girlfriend,
though.
(both laugh)
(suspenseful music)
("Lose Ur Religion")
We got F-A-T in the house tonight
We got N-E-D in the house tonight
Yeah, I'ma make you lose ur religion
I don't know how the hell
I let you talk me into this.
This is the last thing we need
to do is be out in the open.
Are you kidding?
This is exactly what we need.
Blow off and steam.
You remember what Derek said?
The FBI's all over this.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
I don't know.
I can't shake the feeling
that somebody's watching us.
Are you kidding?
Of course someone's watching you, girl.
You're beautiful.
Take a drink, mingle, take the edge off.
Besides whoever this nut job is,
it's not like they're gonna
come kill us in the middle
of a room full of people, is it?
Alright, but just 10
minutes and then we're out.
Promise.
I cross my heat, then
have to get shitfaced.
I'm gonna go take a seat over here.
Watch it, bitch.
Group I work for.
It's pretty incredible.
We could destroy anyone.
Just a touch of a button.
Oh really?
A couple months ago
we destroyed the life
of this slut teacher for
talking to us the wrong way.
Bitch thought she could mess with us.
We got her.
Look, do you wanna get outta here?
Come back to my place.
Is everything okay?
Everything's...
Are you...
You've ruined my fucking outfit.
What the fuck?
(upbeat music)
We got F-A-T in the house tonight
We got N-E-D in the house tonight
Yeah, I'ma make you lose ur religion
Yeah, I'ma make you lose ur religion
(tense suspenseful music)
(knife slashes)
(Z groans)
(Meg laughs)
(kick thuds)
Yeah, I like your style
Z?
No, no, no, Z, Z, Z!
Z, no, no, no, no way, this
cannot be fucking happening.
(keys jingling)
Fuck, fuck, fuck!
Z's dead, Brenda's dead, Brandon's dead,
everybody's fucking dead.
I can't take this shit no more.
I fucking can't, I just can't.
I just, I just gotta get as
far away from here as possible.
I gotta leave this state,
no, no, no, no, scratch
that, scratch that.
I gotta leave this fucking country.
I just gotta make to my
uncle's house outside the city.
I'll be safe from there.
Got you, bitch.
(knife slashes)
(tense suspenseful music)
Megan, what's taking you so long?
[Megan] I'm almost done,
Damian, be right there.
You need me to come up
there and give you a hand?
No, I got it.
How do I look?
Yeah, like it?
That bad?
No, you look amazing.
You're exquisitely stunning.
That's all the compliment I need.
This is really nice.
Thank you.
I haven't been on a date in so long.
Thank you for hanging out with me tonight.
Well, lucky for you, neither have I.
And this is really nice,
I really appreciate you
going out of your way and
making this so beautiful
and really making it private,
because I really wasn't up
to facing the public tonight.
Well, nothing but the
best for you, my dear.
(doorbell rings)
Who could that be?
No idea.
(footsteps tapping)
(door opens)
Hello, Mrs. Flockhart.
Megan, darling.
Hey, I just wanna know if
you have a little time,
I wanted to speak with you, is that okay?
I guess.
What's on your mind?
Well, I wanted to come by
so that I could, you know,
apologize to you for being a well, a rude,
annoying rap face bitch.
Truth is Megan, I was
scared, hell, we all were.
I mean, the news made it look like
you was some type of sick,
sexual pervert who was ruining
and corrupting our, our
schools and our community.
But your boyfriend, Damian,
who I must say, is very fine.
He told me everything
that was really going on.
Oh, did he?
Yes, he did, he explained it.
That stuff that was
happening in that video
was from like 15 years ago
when you were in college
and you were, you know,
what the kids call 'em,
shitfaced and at the freaknik.
But you are a change person now
and you've put your past behind you
and you're doing a lot of
great things in the community.
Well, a lot of that stuff was true.
Well, like they always say,
whatever has happened in the
past should stay in the past.
I mean, we've all done
something that's crazy
and you know, we've made
mistakes when we were younger.
I mean, you probably wouldn't believe it
by seeing how plump I am now.
But, honey, I used to
be a centerfold model.
Oh really?
Yes.
I was a part of the bombshell
babies of the late '80s.
This face and body was on
all the famous magazines
and calendars and don't tell nobody,
but I used to do the nudie ones too.
Oh my God, stop.
Stop, girl.
Honey, I was fine.
[Megan] You was naked.
But listen, what I really
came to tell you is this,
you don't have to be perfect, Megan, okay?
Just know that you just
keep doing your best.
Thank you, I really
appreciate you saying that.
Ladies, I hate to break
up the conversation,
but our food's getting cold.
Oh, I'm so sorry, Megan.
I didn't know you had
company over for dinner.
Hey, Damian.
[Damian] How you doing, Ms. Flockhart?
Oh, well, well, let me let you guys
get back to what you were doing.
Okay honey, enjoy your meal
'cause he's a whole snack.
Okay, okay, thank you.
Bye.
Bye.
She is something else.
She likes you.
Good evening, I have sea
bass, truffle mashed potatoes
and asparagus for your dinner.
Oh my God, that looks amazing.
It looks so good doesn't it?
I have the signature dessert,
the sweet potato (indistinct) for you.
Oh my God.
I hope you enjoy.
Thank you.
Thank you, chef.
Wow, you really pulled out
all the stuff for tonight,
didn't you?
Well, like I said earlier,
nothing but the best for you, baby.
Hmm.
I wanna thank you.
You know, before you came
around, I was going through a lot
and I was thinking about taking
myself out like my mother.
You know, I really felt like I
had no reason to live anymore
and I just was in a bad place.
You made me see the good in people
and to know that it still
exists out in this world.
And you know, you seen all my
craziness and all the drama
and you didn't run, you didn't leave me.
And I guess I'm trying to say is,
Damian Washington, I...
Love me?
(doorbell rings)
Let it be.
Our sea bass's waste, baby.
Probably Ms. Flockhart.
Come on.
I'll send her away.
I'll get rid of her.
Let her go, come on.
(door opens)
Megan Powell, you're
under arrest for the murder-
What the hell are y'all
doing, man, come on.
Lindsey Cho, Brandon Gale,
Courtney Stone and Brenda Gale.
(melancholic music)
It took you long enough, I
was starting to get sleepy.
Would you like anything before we begin?
Water, coffee?
I wanna make sure you're
absolutely comfortable
before we get started.
I'm good, I don't want anything.
Oh, wait, on second thought.
I think I like some sea
bass, some truffle potatoes
and some asparagus.
You know the dinner I was gonna have
before you busted in with
your thug and ruined my date.
You see, that's what
I love about you, Megan.
You've got some big balls,
but mine are even bigger.
Oh, congratulations.
Are you coming out?
(envelope crunching)
(pictures tapping)
Am I supposed to know
who these people are?
You're usually so meticulous,
but this time you got cocky, too cocky.
About five people from
the Sigma new frat house
were posting videos to social
media a few minutes before
and after the murders of
Azeez Gupta and Lindsey Cho.
I've never seen these
people before in my life.
You're kidding, right?
You know, I knew that this
still wouldn't be enough
to get a confession out of you.
So, I took things a step further.
What am I looking at?
You're looking at a
single piece of evidence
that's gonna get you the electric chair.
That's right, you're psychopathic bitch.
We sent that red plastic cup
down to our boys at the lab
to analyze and I'm willing
to wager an arm and a leg,
that the prints on that cup belong to you.
But you know what, I'm actually
feeling pretty generous.
I'm willing to cut you a deal.
My partner is on his way here
right now with the lab results
of your prints on that cup.
If you admit to the murders
of all four students now,
I'd be willing to put
in a good word for you
with the judge.
I would even tell him about
some of the mental health
challenges you've experienced.
And most likely you get 25 to life,
maybe even a lighter sentence.
And within 20 years or so,
you could be out on good behavior.
However, if he walks in here
before you decide, then the deal's off.
Clock is ticking, Megan,
what's it gonna be?
(suspenseful music)
What's it gonna be, Megan?
(suspenseful music)
Tick tok, Professor
Powell, make up your mind.
(Jessica laughs)
Oh, time's up.
(suspenseful music)
(Megan laughs)
Ah, they're your prints
aren't they, huh, huh?
[Special Agent Jessica] How did you?
The water you gave me at your house.
Can I go now?
I have a date to get back to.
You got the key?
Tap tap.
Got somewhere to go.
You mad, huh?
(tense suspenseful music)
Keys, please.
(door closes)
(engine rumbling)
You can't be serious.
You picked me up from
my apartment for this?
Oh, I'm dead serious, Derek.
Or should I say Derek Da Truth?
This is the only way
that we can catch her.
And if not then I really
can't vouch for your safety.
So, you want me to make a video?
Yes.
Right now?
Yes.
When this psycho bitch
is on a killing streak?
Yes, yes, yes.
Well, no, no and fucking no, okay?
She's gonna come and kill me too.
Yes, Derek, she is,
we're counting on it.
She's gonna try to kill you.
So, why don't we have
her do it on our terms.
What the fuck did I just hear?
What do you want?
(chair scrapes)
What we want, Derek is a honeypot.
Something that'll draw her out
so we can catch her in the act.
It's the only way.
So, you want me to be a guinea pig?
I thought y'all were
supposed to be protecting me.
Derek, do you know how many
people's lives you ruined?
Some even committed suicide.
Six.
That's all in the past year.
That's enough to put you away for life.
And there's nothing your
daddy could do about it.
So, yeah, you are going to
be our guinea pig, Derek.
A fucking juicy one.
And you're gonna squeak until
the big cat comes for you.
Then we're gonna nab her.
Is that understood?
Man, fuck this and fuck y'all.
I'm outta here, my dad's
private jet is waiting.
Derek,
sit.
Fuck.
Listen Derek, I know you're scared,
but the woman you pissed off, Megan,
she's a master at covering her steps.
She can make a murder scene
look like a kindergarten class
if she really wanted to.
She's got an IQ higher than that
of any serial killer in history.
The only way that we can
stop her is with your help.
So, you can choose to help us
or you can fly to Barbados.
But if you do that, I guarantee you
she will buy a plane
ticket and come after you.
So, you can either help
us and we'll catch her now
or she'll come kill you later.
(tense suspenseful music)
(Derek sighs)
What do you want me to say?
(tense suspenseful music)
Now, remember, we'll be
monitoring you the whole time.
We have a SWAT team already en route
and I just want you to
go into your apartment,
lock the doors and stay put.
Once she's captured, then
you can upload the leaks.
You can leave the country.
I mean, hell, at that point
you can leave the planet
for all I fucking care.
Just make sure we get her first.
Understood?
Hey, are you listening to me?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I heard
you, be a good little bait.
Go in there, upload the video,
then run the fuck away once you capture
the psycho bitch, right?
Good boy.
[Derek] Yeah.
She should be here any minute,
so, you better get going.
Oh lovely.
Oh and Derek, don't
forget to lock your doors.
Oh, that's a good idea, I'll do that.
(tense suspenseful music)
Are we all set?
Yeah, we're set.
I got the keys.
But SWAT team is delayed
by some negotiation.
Hello, everyone, this is Derek Da Truth.
A few weeks ago I gave an ultimatum
to former Spring University
teacher, Megan Powell.
I kindly asked her to leave our city,
or watch as all of her dirty
little secrets are exposed.
And yet still today, she roams
the streets of our community.
I'm a man of my word, so I
will be uploading the rest
of the leaks on Megan Powell,
8:00 pm tomorrow night.
Even the secrets of her sweet dead mother.
Yes, Megan, I know all about
the depressing secrets of your family.
And tomorrow night, so
will the rest of the world.
And there's nothing you can do to stop it.
So, please leave now.
We'll just do what we have to do.
It's 7:30 already, where the fuck is she?
Maybe she's not gonna come.
There's no way I'm wrong about her.
(tense suspenseful music)
Oh shit.
Speak of the devil.
Stay on the ground, on the ground now.
Freeze.
Keep your hands in the air, do not move.
Yeah, we got you now, Viola Davis.
You not getting away with murder today.
Fuck.
Not her.
(tense suspenseful music)
It's not.
(tense suspenseful music)
(tense suspenseful music continues)
Derek, are you all right in there?
Evans, you got me?
Clear.
(door bangs)
Fuck.
(tense suspenseful music)
I'll call it in.
Man.
[Man] Sneaking around my back
and drinking all that juice
before I told you to go to bed.
[Woman] Well, he never told me that.
You know, he doesn't talk
about his childhood much.
[Man] Well, it was rough
growing up in a foster home
with 12 other kids.
I was always the bigger brother.
[Woman] So, what happened
when y'all grew up?
[Megan] My dearest, Damian.
I just wanted to use this
opportunity to thank you
for being there for me
these past few months.
Before you came into my life,
I was depressed and suicidal.
I was one setback away
from taking my life.
You saw me for the freak I
was, yet you accepted me.
Your bright smile
and cheesy pickup lines kept me going.
You helped me rediscover my purpose
and with it a renewed will to live.
That's part of the reason why
I have to say goodbye now.
Don't worry, I'm going somewhere safe.
Somewhere perhaps I can start over again.
But I do hope our paths
still cross one day.
If not in this world,
then at least in the next.
I love you, Damian.
Sincerely yours, Megan.
(soft melancholic music)
Damn, Meg.
(soft melancholic music continues)
Oh man.
(soft melancholic music continues)
(woman speaks in foreign language)
(man speaks in foreign language)
(woman speaks in foreign language)
(soft melancholic music continues)
(man speaks in foreign language)

("The City Ain't Safe")
The city ain't safe
(soft beat music)
The city ain't safe
(soft beat music)
City ain't safe for no one
Protect your neck or don't come
Ain't no love, can't show none
Pressure on you, gon' run
All I'm about is my paper
Outta line and I late ya
Sayonara
See you later
No handouts no favors
Tell 'em laying in the dirt
When the worst come to worst
Know the real ones put in work
Cut the grass, snakes is first
In the dark, the danger lurks
Never know when copper
going to catch you
Or put a few stains on your shirt
Because 'round here is get or get got
'Round here is eat or get ate
'Round here all you got
is your word and your name
'Round here is hustle hard
'Round here is earn your place
'Round here you can do
whatever, 'round here
But 'round here the city ain't safe
The city ain't safe
The city ain't safe
The city ain't safe
The city ain't safe
The city ain't safe
The city ain't safe
The city ain't safe
The city ain't safe
The city ain't safe
The city ain't safe
The city ain't safe
The city ain't safe
See, I ride for my squad
Slide for my click
Die for my day ones if
it ever come around to it
See, I ride for my squad
Slide for my click
Die for my day ones if
it ever come around to it
I was born conquer
Look at the magic I conjured
I say it again as I respond to one
We just trying to live prosperous
Hallmark cars be watching us
Praying for the opposite
Wanna see me locked down
But I bounce back in this opulence
Ain't nothing left
but to rise above it
City buzzing, bullets humming
Still I see blue skies coming
I ain't stopping for nothing
Ambitions of a rider
Manness in my DNA,
my agenda for the day
Does it get money, get paid
'Cause 'round here is get or get got
'Round here is eat or get ate
'Round here all you got
is your word and your name
'Round here is hustle hard
'Round here is earn your place
'Round here you can do
whatever, 'round here
But 'round here, the city ain't safe
The city ain't safe
The city ain't safe
The city ain't safe
The city ain't safe
The city ain't safe
The city ain't safe
The city ain't safe
The city ain't safe
The city ain't safe
The city ain't safe
The city ain't safe
The city ain't safe
See, I ride for my squad
Slide for my click
Die for my day ones if

See, I ride for my squad
