Seriously? We've literally been together the whole night.
And every time I see a zero I turn it to a heart in my head Heart in my I poured you a shot.

Extra ice.
So I was wondering what it's like I was in the car with you! I'll kill all of ya! Oh, is that Brett? Hey, Brett.
You guys don't remember any of that? No.
Yeah! Come on.
- Walt, is it? - Yes.
You were at that party 15 years ago? Light bulb moment.
It was my party in my house.
Oh, no.
I've never been to your house.
I saw you in my house.
Where have you been? I was uh, I was just I was napping under some coats in a room.
Uh, what did I miss? Well, this gentleman here was just telling me about that Saint Patrick's Day party 15 years ago.
Oh! Oh, yeah.
Uh I just wanted to throw you a party that touched your soul, you know? Just wanted to celebrate Saint Patrick and get messed ass up on some damn ass booze.
- Mmm.
- What? - Come on, let's go.
- No! Sorry.
I want to tell everybody right here.
Yeah, honey.
Tell it, baby.
Tell it.
Okay, one second.
Saint Patrick's Day, 2006.
Okay.
Saint Patrick's Day, 2006.
My God.
The time of velour jumpsuits.
Britney and K-Fed.
And, uh, I'd started making honey that year as a hobby.
Damn, there was a buzz in the air that morning.
College acceptances, our futures, and best of all, my parents were out of town.
I turn to my lab partner, Brett, I say, "Spread the word.
We're having a party.
" Tonight's party is gonna blow people's minds.
Dude, who are you talking to? You do the Latin homework? Uh, no.
You think Berkeley gives a fart about our Latin homework? Dude, you got into Stanford.
You don't have to do shit anymore.
Watch this.
Get out of here! - I mean, I did work hard on it, so - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, my God.
Look at Eugene, thinking he's a pimp with his new car.
Oh, come on.
I mean, money can buy you a lot of things, but coolness is not one of 'em.
This is absolutely my fault.
I told him if we wanna take our band to the next level, we have to up our image.
Why does his license plate say "Xavier"? Xavier is his middle name.
I, by mistake, told him it sounded alternative.
- Why would you do that? - I don't know.
I regret it immediately.
I don't understand why you choose to play music with this guy.
By the way, he gave me his new demo.
It is hot pop garbage.
Honestly, maybe you should do your own thing.
I mean, you guys are just so different.
I know.
That's what I've been saying.
But I cannot find the right moment to tell him we need to go solo.
By the way, I'm almost certain he thinks you took his spot at Stanford.
- I know.
- Guys.
Hey, guys, wait up! Did you you notice my my new whip? - Oh.
- Yeah.
Yeah, it's My dad got it for me.
He wanted to congratulate me on getting wait-listed at Stanford.
You know, he says it's really hard for children of alumni to get in these days.
They save so many spots for scholarship kids and stuff, so - Mmm.
- Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Of course.
Must be tough to be a child of privilege, huh, Eugene? Uh, yeah, actually, um, I'm I'm going by Xavier now.
Oh, is that so? See the, uh, license plate? - Yeah! - Yeah! That's 'cause of you, man! Now that I've gotten into Stanford, I'm filled with this new confidence.
I might tell Zoë how I feel about her tonight at the party.
Yes.
It's like I always say, you get one shot in life.
- You do always say that.
- I'm saying it all the time now.
So, I said, "No, I'm not wearing green, 'cause I wanna get pinched by you, girl.
" That's so funny.
Hey, man, you need to, like, loosen up.
There's a party tonight, and it's gonna be fun.
Who cares? Nothing matters anymore.
Chelsea's gonna go off and live this incredible life, and what am I gonna do? "What am I gonna do?" You are Ned freaking Conway! Every girl's been wanting to get with you since freshman year.
You can have 'em, dude.
I, on the other hand, have my eyes on someone else.
I know what's gonna cheer you up.
I'm going long.
I'm open! Hit me! - Uh - Oh! Aw, sorry.
I didn't see you there, dude.
- Walt.
- Cool.
- and also like, like - Hey, guys.
- Oh, my God, Chelsea.
- Hey.
- We heard about Ned.
Are you okay? - Hey.
Ugh, such a bummer.
Um, I'm okay.
It's just I mean, he was, like, the most popular guy in high school, right? I just I can't believe that you broke up with him.
So hot.
You know, we've just been moving in different directions for a while.
And now we're literally moving to different cities.
Oh, my God, college.
So I just thought it would be better now.
You guys, there is a party tonight, and Ned will definitely be there, and it is gonna be super weird.
Are you I feel sad and a little sick, like You know, another thing is, like, tonight we could kind of pretend that it's not about you guys.
No, we're fine.
- No, 100%.
- Not Yes.
- I mean, it's mostly not about us.
- It's your thing and It's not.
- And we'll be fine.
- Totally.
Totally.
Totally.
I just I do really feel sad for Ned.
- And of course, you too.
Of course.
- Thanks.
Yeah.
Um, I suddenly kind of lost my appetite, so Chelsea.
You guys really didn't have to be that mean to her.
I thought she was being mean to me.
Anyway, where even is this party tonight? Brett told me - I have no idea.
- it's at his uncle's house, I think.
Uh, it's act It's actually at my house.
Ew! Eavesdrop much? - We're having a conversation.

Do you want me to do that on your face? Uh, yeah.
I mean, please.

Oh, my God! - Wait, I want them.
- Hmm? You want them? - All right, let's see.

- My dad works at AT&T.
- That Pipe down! - Shh.
What? We're not talking to you.
Hey, we're gonna let you go.
- Okay! Okay.
- All right.
- Heck yeah, we are.
- Stay out of trouble.
- To you too.
Thank you, Officers.
- Yeah.
- Tell your dad hi.
- Thanks, Officers.
Whoa! Hey, whoa! Whoa, not you, Barry Bonds.
Okay? You're coming with us, am I clear? Well, Officer, l-look, please.
I'm so sorry.
I I d I don't know what came over me.
I I just I I I can't be getting arrested, please.
You wanna press charges? Say the word.
Y-You You can't, man.
You can't press charges.
I'll I'll lose my scholarship.
Eugene, please.
It's It's Xavier, bitch.
- There you go.
- Good choice.
You know what that means? Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Yep.
Take that right foot.
There you go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Come on.
Come on.
Let's go.
What happened? Where did everybody go? - Come on.
Hey.
- Put your clothes back on, son.
Party's over.
You got it.
Thank you, Officer.
- Have an incredible night! - All right.
So there I was, naked as day one, in front of the po-po.
Empowered and jacked up on the drama, but somehow, still, "Who's Walt?" - You know? Ignored, invisible.
- Wait.
You and Xavier never hooked up that night? - No.
- Oh, come on.
I kept telling you it didn't happen.
Nobody would believe me.
- Mister Cellophane - Ned, I never would've done that to you.
Oh, my God.
- Walt.
- Can we all just agree that it's clear that it's clear that Aniq killed Xavier? - Oh, my God.
- I mean, you guys, listen.
Hear me out.
He's been holding a grudge for years - Stay on me.
- against a man that embarrassed him, made him lose his scholarship Okay, Jenn 1, off of it.
Yeah.
You know what's a great way to deflect being a murderer - is to accuse everybody else of murder.
- That's right.
I'm with child.
- How could I be the murderer? - That sort of makes sense.
You kill someone and birth a new one in.
The number stays the same.
- She doesn't do anything these days.
- You think I'm just, like, with child, pushing grown-ass dudes off balconies? So, you have just been lying the whole time.
Like, our our whole marriage or, like, actually, our whole relationship.
No.
I I I made a mix CD that night that had the same songs - Shaggy.
- Shaggy.
Yeah.
I had Shaggy on there, and it looked the same.
- It was, like, a Magnavox case - Just shut up! And you, why did you never tell me? - I never knew.
- I didn't know you ever heard it.
I still listen to it.
I made it a playlist.
You did? Yeah.
I am so sorry to interrupt.
Truly, I am.
But this Xavier grudge goes pretty deep.
So, what do you gotta say for yourself? I have I have this to say.
Yes! Come on! What is that, Band-Aids? - What the hell? - Oh, my God.
Look.
All right.
This is real evidence I found myself in the trash.
- Ew.
- Yeah, that's nasty.
Whoever wrote this killed Xavier, all right? Ripped this up and threw it in the trash.
It's pretty damning.
Mmm.
"I'm coming for ya.
You're gonna see this is payback for what you did to me.
" - Yikes.
- "Now's your time to feel the pain.
What goes around comes around again.
" Oh, my God, and this rhymes.
- Let me see this.
- Hmm.
This ain't nothing but lyrics that Xavier wrote that are garbage, and he trashed them.
These lyrics suck.
I mean, "pain" rhyming with "again"? That's what we call a slanted rhyme.
Where you kinda stretch a word to make Yeah, but this clearly has to be Yep.
And it's a match.
Bam.
- Shit.
- Aniq.
Xavier wrote "diarrhea" on your neck, right? That's the reason why you didn't get the handwriting sample.
Because he died.
He perished.
Yeah, I know.
Thanks.
Thanks, buddy.
You know, I wanna be on your side.
But you make that very hard for me.
And I know you've been hiding a lot.
Everybody seems to be hiding something.
Isn't that right, Detective? You trying me right now? No.
Look, this guy's story shows that everybody here hated Xavier.
Look, my point Okay, my point is, anybody could've gone upstairs before me.
Like, say me.
Zoë, what are you doing? No.
Uh, not like you.
That's not what I meant.
How do you know I didn't do it? I mean, you haven't heard my story yet.
But we know you don't have a grudge against Xavier.
Well, I didn't at the beginning of the night.
