[narrator] Previously on
Cruel Intentions.
How about I walk with you?
- No talking.
- [Annie] Not a word.
[Caroline] Where's Annie Grover?
I want her.
- [Lucien] What's in it for me?
- [Caroline] I'll give you what you want.
Me.
- I really like you.
- [Annie] I really like you too.
- [chuckles]
- I gotta go.
[door closes]
[Lucien] I'm frat Treasurer.
Things started to come together,
like how many reimbursement checks
Scott was signing over to you.
What the fuck do you want?
- Scott, what's going on?
- Stay the fuck away from me.
Fuck my mom for paying
my tennis coach to fuck me.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that.
No, I'm sorry that happened to you.
You haven't won yet.
Game on.
[bell tolling]
[wooden floor creaks]
[footsteps approaching]
[all grunting]
[Lucien] What the fuck?
Hey, get off! [grunting]
[Lucien grunts, muffled]
- [bell tolling]
- [Lucien grunting, muffled]
[student shushes]
- [student 2 mutters] This way. This way.
- [Lucien] Help! [Lucien breathing heavily]
[Lucien screams, muffled]
[high-pitched ringing]
[Lucien grunting, muffled]
[all cheering]
[student 3] Twenty-one.
- [Scott] First legal drink, baby.
- We're really doing this?
[all singing] Happy birthday to you ♪
Happy birthday to you ♪
Okay, you can just not.
Happy birthday, dear Lucien ♪
- Happy birthday to you ♪
- Whoo!
[student 4] Chug that shit!
- [all cheering]
- Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!
I've always wondered
what alcohol tastes like.
Whoo!
- [student 5] Shots. Let's go.
- Hey! Come on!
[Caroline] Happy birthday.
[Lucien groans] Did you bring me a gift?
Oh.
You are the gift.
[Caroline scoffs] It's your birthday.
Not a free-for-all.
[groans] What if I want a free-for-all?
- It's not one.
- [sighs]
I do have something else for you though.
Something you'll want.
Well, I want for nothing except you.
Ooh, harder.
I told you, you have to win that.
I intend to. Today.
A little gift from me to me.
So consider this your 12-hour warning
and wax whatever needs waxing,
'cause I'm closing on Annie
by the end of business.
[chuckles] I laser.
And you seem awfully confident,
considering.
Well, I'm a confident kind of guy.
I'll have your consolation prize
waiting for you.
This party is gonna blow your mind.
I look forward to being blown.
[sniffs, sighs]
[line ringing]
Hi, Annie. How are ya?
- What are you doing right now?
- [Scott] Not Alpha Gamma material.
- [students clamoring, jeering]
- [student] Fuck that guy!
[student 2] No!
I can't even look at him, man!
No chance!
- [student 3] Cut him.
- [student 4] Pussy magnet!
See? Now we're talking.
- Yep.
- Wow, excellent vascularity.
- [Scott] Alpha gamma, let's go!
- [all cheer]
[all jeering]
[student 5] No chance!
- Hey! Come on, come on
- [student 3] No!
- Come on, come on
- God, I hope he dies, man. Straight up.
Whoa [sighs]That's not very nice.
- My bad.
- Just fucking cut him, bro.
[all cheering]
[all jeering]
Wait, wait, wait, wait. He's a Scholl.
As in the doctor.
That means he's probably
into fucked-up foot stuff, right?
[all laugh]
- He looks like a homo.
- Yeah, and we already have you, Blaise.
- Ooh!
- [all laugh]
[laughs] All right.
Fucking cut him. Let's go.
- [all cheering]
- Let's go. Next.
- [students chattering]
- Good stuff.
You're the boss, man.
[hip-hop music playing on speakers]
- Hey, man. What's up?
- Hey. What's up?
Not much. Just thinking
power looks really good on you.
[Scott] Thanks. [grunts]
[door closes]
Is that it, or
Yeah. Just wanted to catch up.
Hey, you, uh, never did tell me
how it went with Annie the other night.
[chuckles] Why would I talk to you
about a girl, Blaise?
Right.
Gotcha, brother.
[birds chirping]
Mmm, yeah. It's over.
I'm sorry,
I really hate to be a stickler about this,
but, to me, that's definitely sounding
like you're not a virgin anymore.
I mean, it was literally one second.
Like, it was one thrust,
and then he just kind of ran away.
A thrust is a thrust is a
- Stop saying thrust.
- thrust.
- [sighs] Sorry.
- It doesn't count.
- Really?
- [Caroline] Yeah.
I'm sure Scott feels the same way.
I mean,
it probably didn't count for him either.
- He was a virgin too?
- Yeah, that's what he said.
[CeCe] That's kinda sweet.
Reminds me of Professor Chadwick a little.
Scott reminds you of a professor?
Your professor is a virgin?
I said a little. Forget it. Never mind.
Technically, though
technically, she did have sex.
You did have sex.
Scott was inside you.
So, I mean, like it or not,
he was your first.
Don't get me wrong,
I'd love a do-over myself.
- I mean, I lost mine to my
- CeCe, please.
We're talking about Annie right now.
We don't need to hear
how you broke your hymen.
Well, that's actually a different story.
Gorgeous palomino named Lucky.
[Caroline] Okay. You have to go.
We still need refreshments
for Lucien's party tonight, remember?
Oh, yes.
- Yes. Yes.
- Yes. I'm on it.
- Okay.
- Exceedingly on it.
You will not have to worry about
a single person being refreshed.
- Not tonight.
- Fantastic.
Bye.
- Love you.
- Love you.
- [sighs]
- Don't listen to her.
Whatever happened, that was not sex.
That was a learning experience.
You need to regroup and focus on yourself.
- Mmm.
- And trust me,
the last thing you need
right now is a rebound.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
You're right. Okay. I'm over it.
- Good. Good.
- Good.
[chuckles]
[sighs]
I really hope
everything goes smoothly tonight.
- Is there anything I can help you with?
- Oh, no, no, no, no.
I just
I just really hope
today is perfect for Lucien.
- I'm sure it will be.
- Yeah.
I don't know, birthdays have always
just been a little hard for him.
Why?
[rings]
[Blaise] Hello? Is anybody there?
I have a life to lead
that doesn't revolve around
waiting for a bunch of pencil pushers
to deign to not do their sad little jobs.
[sighs]
Oh, fuck.
- What do you want?
- How long have you been back there?
Long enough to not do my sad little job.
- Well, can you actually do it?
- How can I help you, Blaise?
Congressman Russell's office
needs my academic transcripts
by the end of day today,
and despite three requests,
the best and brightest working here
seem to find it beyond their
capabilities to press "send."
Okay. Uh, come in.
[Blaise clears throat]
- [sighs, whispers] Blaise Powell.
- [typing]
I seem to have figured out the problem.
Run-of-the-mill ineptitude, I assume?
Uh, not on our part.
We'll be happy
to send over your transcripts
as soon as you pay
the outstanding balance on your tuition.
Yes, well, uh,
my dad's being a dick right now,
but they'll send the money, obviously.
Eventually.
So, uh, if you just send the transcripts
over in the meantime,
that'd be great.
I can't. [sighs]
I mean, not without that money.
Look, Beatrice
[Beatrice] You're in arrears.
There's nothing
I can legally do to help you.
Is there something illegally you could do?
Well, I do know of a loophole,
but that could be a big risk, so
[clicks tongue]
[chuckles] This is extortion.
I prefer to think of it as
offering my cooperation
for your cooperation.
You know you'll get your transcripts.
All I need is access.
[chuckles] Yeah,
that's never gonna happen.
I have a strict closed-door policy.
Okay.
Well, when you get desperate enough,
maybe I'll still be willing to negotiate.
[sighs]
[typing]
- Hi.
- Hi.
No "happy birthday"?
Happy birthday.
What are you doing here?
See, I thought we were past
this whole cold-shoulder thing.
I walked you home.
I was a perfect gentleman.
Yes, you were. I just have plans.
- Great. What are we doing?
- We are not doing anything.
You're not gonna make me
spend my birthday alone, are you?
I'm not trying to be mean.
I just don't think you would like this.
Well, if you're there, I will.
- Hmm.
- Come on. It's my birthday.
Okay. You asked for it.
I don't think you're supposed to say that
anymore. It's a little bit victim-blame-y.
Okay, if you're gonna come,
you need to shut up.
Close the door.
[birds chirping]
[students chattering]
- [CeCe] Who told you to stack this here?
- You did.
People can't get in and out of the house.
They'd have to climb over
a dozen cases of Coca-Cola
just to get to the goddamn mailbox.
It's a fire hazard.
[Caroline] What is all this?
What if Caroline needs to leave right now?
You said to get refreshments.
I didn't mean that kind of Coke.
The theme is "Paradise Lost."
When you think "Paradise Lost,"
do you think "soda"?
Well, when I think "Paradise Lost,"
I don't really think "party" either.
The themes aren't really
what I'd call celebratory.
I was discussing it
with Professor Chadwick,
and he says it's really a story about
the ultimate punishment for disobedience.
Okay, I've heard enough
about Professor Chadwick.
He was just trying to be helpful.
His perspective is actually
really stimulating. [chuckles]
Maybe you need less stimulation.
What do you mean?
You have been distracted,
you have been late to things
and you are constantly talking about him.
- No, I'm not.
- Chocolate cake made you think of him.
German chocolate cake.
Is there some medication
you should stop taking?
- Or should be taking more of?
- Prozac won't help this.
- Try lithium.
- Lithium doesn't work on love.
[sighs]
CeCe, this is not love.
This is a manic episode.
No, I'm telling you.
That's why I was so sick.
A roving ne'er-do-well
confirmed it's definitely love.
Lucien doesn't know anything about love.
- That's what I said, but he actually
- This is an obsession.
Just like that fixation you had
on your tennis teacher.
Adrian was different.
You do this every time.
You develop these fantasies
about the men in your life,
and I don't want you to get hurt again.
We need to take care of this right away.
Get him out of your system.
Like a juice cleanse?
[scoffs] Fuck him, CeCe.
The sooner the better.
- That doesn't seem like it'll help.
- It will.
Because once a fantasy becomes a reality,
it's no longer interesting.
The power comes from the potential.
Take away the potential,
and there's nothing left.
So go. Seduce him.
I don't think I'd be very good at that.
- You did it with what's-his-face?
- Blandsman?
I can't just show up to class
in my underwear with an ice bucket.
Okay. Fine. You know him.
Use it. Fuck him and be done with it.
- I think I have an idea.
- And return all that soda.
- I'll be back later.
- Wait, where are you going?
[Caroline] I have a consolation prize
to procure.
[sighs]
[chattering]
[Annie] Here you go.
- Hi. How are you?
- Hi.
- I'm signing in. I'm Annie Grover.
- Oh. Yeah. Okay.
- Thank you.
- Sure.
Uh, come on.
Happy?
Not since I was a child.
So, is this really what you had planned
for today, or is this all for my benefit?
Oh, what, you don't love it here?
- No, I do, in fact love it here.
- Hi, good morning.
I knew you would.
[Lucien] It's, um, life-affirming.
Yeah. Just wait
till we get to the bedpans.
Is that what you do here?
Yeah, and a lot of sponge baths.
A lot of, um, wiping.
You know,
wiping whatever needs wiping, really.
- And the residents enjoy it too.
- Oh, I'm sure.
After you adjust their catheters.
- I talk to them, you deviant.
- Mm-hmm.
Deviant?
You're the one with all the wiping.
Okay. They actually have
pretty good stories, so
I'm sure.
About soft foods and insurance premiums.
[Annie] That's not what they talk about.
- They talk about fucking mostly.
- [elevator bell dings]
- Oh.
- Yeah.
- This place? Riddled with STDs.
- Okay.
- [Annie] Hi.
- [coughing]
Let's, um let's take the stairs.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, I think so.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- [Annie] Cool.
- [coughing continues]
And to think you could've spent your
birthday doing body shots off of strippers
instead of playing cards
with a woman named Doris.
You know, play those cards right,
and I could end up doing
body shots off of Doris.
You know,
apparently it's very horny in here.
[Annie chuckles]
- It's locked.
- Of course, it is.
You know,
maybe I'll introduce Doris to mah-jongg.
- I mean, I'm pretty good.
- Hmm. Strip mah-jongg?
[Lucien] Well, that depends.
I mean, are you playing too?
Shit.
I guess this is when it pays
to have a Secret Service team.
[Annie] Oh.
If I had any reception.
Do you?
Nada.
[sighs]
[birds chirping]
[hip-hop music playing on speakers]
Hey, buddy [sighs]don't wanna bug ya,
but I just need your signature real quick.
For what?
Oh, fraternity business,
reimbursements, party shit.
Leave it in my room.
I'll sign it when I'm done.
Scott, it'll only take a second.
Why are you in here?
You don't play sports.
Yes. I know that, but, look,
I-I just needed a signature real quick
'cause I'm out a lot of money right now.
- So
- So? Cover it yourself.
I'll get to it when I get to it, okay?
[breathing heavily]
[sighs] Okay.
[Scott breathing heavily]
Hi, there.
Is there a really annoying redhead
working the front desk right now?
- Hi, Yolanda.
- Oh, Miss Caroline.
I'm sorry, but your parents aren't here.
I know.
And neither am I.
["Schoolgirl" playing]
Seen the secrets that you shared
You never seemed like you cared ♪
What would you do if you were mine
I grab your smokes and drink your wine ♪
Got my future in your hands
Wanna be part of your plans ♪
I'm on the edge, a bit confused ♪
[engine starts, revs]
- [students chattering]
- [music continues]
You make me n-n-nervous ♪
Just like a schoolgirl ♪
See you next week.
[music ends]
- Hey, I have
- Okay.
Nope. No, no, no. Thank you.
[clicks tongue] Great job.
- Really great class today.
- Thank you.
You know, I've been thinking recently.
- Just recently? [laughs]
- About class, actually.
I've been thinking about a way
to add that human-interest element.
Oh, great.
What were you thinking about it?
Sex.
I mean, their sex lives. The fascists.
I can't say that I've given much thought
to the sex lives of fascists.
Well, exactly.
That's exactly what I'm saying.
I don't think anybody
really thinks about it,
but I think it could add some new insight.
Could be quite revealing.
How so?
Um, well, what if all that longing
and pent-up energy
actually contributed
to their political agendas?
So, you're saying that fascism
is a result of sexual frustration?
I mean, it could be.
Um, everybody knows that Hitler
was miserable with Eva.
I think it's fair to say
he could have used a release.
And Napoleon.
He was obsessed with Josephine
while he was away fighting.
It completely distracted him
from making sound decisions in battle.
I mean, don't you think
wanting something, someone,
so badly could make anyone a little crazy?
- [breathes heavily]
- You sold me.
- [exhales deeply]
- I mean, it's at least worth exploring.
Why don't you, uh,
put together a reading syllabus for us,
and we'll, uh, take a look at it later?
Reading syllabus.
Um, yes. Okay, good. I'll do that for us.
I mean, for you. Um, I love reading, so
Great. [sighs]
How'd this door get locked?
[door opens, creaks]
[footsteps departing]
[clicks tongue, sighs]
[knocking on door]
[Annie] Hello?
Hello, anyone?
I mean, they're all probably
fucking STDs into each other
with their hearing aids turned off,
so I don't think they're gonna hear us.
Someone has to hear us eventually.
Or they'll notice we're missing.
Hello! Hello!
[sighs] You got a real
crack Secret Service team.
I mean, Annie Grover,
the vice president's daughter,
felled by a stairway.
They don't follow me everywhere.
I'm not the president,
and most of the time,
I don't even want them to.
So, how long
until you think they'll notice?
I mean [sighs]
I usually stay here a few hours.
[sighs]
Why? You're enjoying this?
- Could be worse.
- We're locked in a stairwell.
- So?
- Right. I forgot your whole thing.
Lucien Belmont,
the boy who cares for nothing.
Firstly, I'm 21 today,
so I'm the man who cares for nothing.
And, secondly,
I care about a lot of things.
I resent the implication I don't.
You know? I care about good,
clean American fun.
All the amendments.
- You know, freedom of speech
- Mm-hmm.
the one about guns
- and, uh [sighs]
- [sighs]
well, maybe I care about you.
Okay.
Okay, well, if you care about me,
then you'll help me get us out of here.
["Schoolgirl" playing]
[music ends]
- [partygoers chattering]
- Blaise, hold on.
[sighs, clears throat]
Mind the wings.
I'm with him.
- ["Brand New Bitch" playing on speakers]
- [partygoers chattering]
This is a pretty great party.
It's like Persepolis but with less fire.
- Don't talk to me.
- That's rude.
- [music continues]
- [chattering continues]
Those transcripts
aren't gonna send themselves.
[Blaise] That's talking to me.
[Beatrice grunts] Wait.
That's a word that you're saying
in my direction.
Know what? Fine.
I don't have to speak, okay?
I am fantastic arm candy.
You do know what you look like, right?
Oh. You're back.
- Just had to find the right date.
- It's not a date.
It's not a date.
- [music continues]
- [chattering continues]
I need a drink.
Or a lobotomy.
Rum and Diet Coke for me, please.
[sighs] God, I hate you.
Thank you so much.
[music continues]
- Hi, guys.
- Hey. What's up, Caroline?
Has Lucien arrived?
Not to my knowledge. Not yet, no.
He loves an entrance.
CeCe?
- Yeah?
- Anything else?
You haven't been this quiet
since your mother had your jaw
wired shut freshman year.
No freshman 15.
So, you didn't fuck him.
I tried, I swear.
I mean, I did everything right.
I got him alone.
I'm telling you, I used everything I knew.
- I put the moves on him in a major way.
- I do not need details.
All he did was tell me to make a syllabus.
He probably had no idea
what you were doing.
No. Trust me, he knew.
He just didn't want to have sex with me.
Not possible.
Really? How do you know?
I've seen him. He carries a backpack.
- I carry a backpack.
- I know.
You just have to make it
more painfully obvious.
I don't think it could be more painful.
Just get him out of the classroom.
- What if he rejects me again?
- He won't.
[sighs] That hasn't been my experience.
He's a man, CeCe.
And men, beyond all reason
and above all else, want one thing.
To fuck.
My turn.
Desert island draft pick.
Me or your mom?
My mom, easy.
[Lucien] Okay,
that was just a practice round.
- Me or Beatrice?
- Don't be a dick.
Oh, I think the fact
that you think that was mean
says a lot more about you than it does me.
Okay, fine. Then I pick Beatrice.
Well, that's just insane.
[chuckles]
Me or Scott?
Too soon?
Okay, well, I don't wanna play anymore.
[sighs]
You never really did tell me
what happened there.
And I'm not going to.
No, I'm just saying, you know, if he did
something or you need help or whatever
I'm here.
You're really bad at this.
Okay, feelings are not really my forte,
but I'm trying.
Hmm.
For instance, when I saw you
and Scott all coupled up together, I had
Mm-hmm?
feelings.
Oh.
Wow. That's really vulnerable.
Okay, I was jealous.
- I'm sorry. I was jealous.
- Yeah?
Mm-hmm.
Well, I feel glad that you were jealous.
Well, I feel glad that you feel glad.
This isn't a good idea.
Feels like a pretty good idea to me.
No, it's just, I don't I don't think
that we should do this today.
You know, I'm in a weird place,
and you're in a weird place.
- No, I'm not.
- Yeah.
People are weird
on their birthdays sometimes.
Wait, who's being weird? I'm being weird?
Look, I just think that we should
concentrate on getting out of here.
You know?
Caroline's been working
really hard on your party.
- So this is about Caroline?
- No.
I mean [sighs]yes, but she's
she's concerned.
Caroline's concerned?
Let me guess.
You need to take some time to yourself
after everything that's happened
with you and Scott.
And about you.
How birthdays are hard for you because
of what happened with your mom.
Caroline told you that?
She She's just worried.
Fuck this.
Lucien. Lucien, wait.
Lucien.
Lucien, where are you going?
Wait, Lucien.
- [alarm blaring]
- Lucien.
[sighs]
- [electronic music playing on speakers]
- [partygoers chattering]
[panting, moaning]
Hi, honey.
I'm looking for the birthday boy.
I'm not him.
Okay. Whatever.
Oh, here's the birthday boy now.
I'm not a boy. I'm not a boy. He's joking.
I don't have time for this.
I have someone to seduce.
Okay.
Professor Chadwick.
- [pants] You're here.
- Yeah, I got your message.
- Are you okay? Are you sick again?
- No, I'm fine.
I lied to get you here. I just
I really needed to talk to you.
And, uh, where's here?
[CeCe pants]
This can't happen.
Wait! Wait, I'm so sorry!
Fuck! I had a balloon earlier.
And God knows what was in that thing,
but it must have made me completely crazy.
And I know there's no excuse,
but I just want to say that I'm so sorry,
and please don't fire me.
CeCe, I'm not gonna fire you, but we
both have to pretend that never happened.
[slurps, gulps]
Totally. I'm so sorry.
That was so stupid, and I just
I've just been so distracted lately
and completely preoccupied,
and I was sick last week,
and I really would have never
thought anything of it,
but then I realized
I have these feelings for you,
and I thought that if you didn't find it
completely repulsive,
we could just have sex.
Like a juice cleanse but not.
But I have done them before
and really they work wonders.
- I mean, my skin was never clearer.
- What?
There are toxins in your body,
and it's very important to get them out.
No, I mean before the juice cleanse stuff.
Oh, right. Um, I was just saying
that I got it crystal clear.
I totally understand. You don't have
the same feelings for me and I
I do, but
- I gotta go.
- Wait. You do what?
I think you're amazing.
Okay. Sorry,
I'm just really bad at this stuff.
Does that mean you did
or didn't like the kissing?
[Chadwick] It doesn't matter.
These aren't the type of feelings that
we can get rid of by sleeping together.
- So you didn't like it.
- CeCe, we can't do this.
I'm a professor. And your boss.
[stammers] It's a power imbalance.
Okay, so you are firing me?
Or you want me to quit?
No. No.
That's the exact wrong way to handle this.
We work so well together.
Which means we need
to keep things professional.
Just keep on living our own lives.
Yes. Living our own lives.
What does that mean?
You should date. Other people.
I'll do the same.
While we're doing that,
we can get to know each other better.
And after you graduate,
we'll see what happens.
You want to see what happens?
Yes. I really do.
[exhales deeply]
Now I really gotta go.
- [music continues]
- [partygoers chattering]
- [person 1] Look who showed up.
- [person 2] Hey, Lucien. Happy birthday.
- Finally. The birthday boy.
- Not now.
Leave.
Happy birthday.
Get everything you wanted?
You had your hand on the scale
with Annie all day.
Got you that gift though.
I thought we were
supposed to be in this together,
but there are lines that we don't cross.
Mothers included.
You know perfectly well that there
are no lines between us, dear brother.
That's what makes it so fun.
Did you honestly think
I was gonna make this easy for you?
- That was too far.
- You said you wanted a challenge, Lucien.
- Well, here's your fucking challenge.
- This isn't about any challenge.
- You're scared.
- [scoffs] Scared?
Of you?
I saw it in your eyes that night.
With your mom.
You want me, and it terrifies you.
You are the stuff nightmares are made of.
You'll get what you want.
But it'll be on my terms.
I'm done playing by your rules.
It's about time you cracked the whip.
[Lucien] You don't have
the upper hand anymore, Caroline.
[electronic music playing on speakers]
[Annie] Lucien. Oh, my God. There you are.
Listen, I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have
said anything about your mom.
[stammers] That was stupid,
and I feel awful.
It's fine.
No, it's not fine.
But don't be mad at Caroline.
Okay, she only told me
because she loves you.
Oh, you have no idea what Caroline loves.
Okay.
She's your sister.
Only because my dad married her mom
after I found my mom hanging
from the rafters on my 12th birthday.
[CeCe] You were wrong.
About Professor Chadwick.
He's not like Adrian.
He's not something
I can just fuck out of my system.
Not that Adrian was something
I fucked out of my system.
But, Caroline, he loves me too.
We just have to wait until graduation,
and then we can be together.
- Well then.
- [yelps] I'm happy for me too.
So happy.
This is going to completely
destroy my emotional baseline,
but I feel like it's so worth it.
Stop, stop. I'm so sorry.
- What are you doing, man?
- For fuck's sake.
- I think you have to back off, Lucien.
- Scott, it's okay.
You should go and sleep it off,
- okay?
- Back the fuck off my girlfriend!
She's not your girlfriend, Scott.
You're gay.
- [grunts]
- [partygoer screams]
It's time for cake.
- [partygoers clamoring]
- [grunting, panting]
Happy birthday to you ♪
Happy birthday to you ♪
[officer 1] Police, nobody move!
- Break it up!
- [partygoers clamoring, screaming]
- Scott! Scott, let's go. Come on!
- [partygoer 2] It's a raid!
Fuck off me! Fuck off me! [grunts]
[officer 2] Break it up!
Put your hands up!
Put your hands up!
On the ground!
[clamoring]
[siren wailing]
[Beatrice] It's about time
that you got here.
You should also check out balloons
in there. That was not helium,
and they've all these kinds
of illegal things
that they're probably already flushing.
Like pills on trays.
And there's also, um,
apples that are not for eating.
[clamoring continues]
Oh, my God. Lucien.
- Come on.
- [grunts]
Let's go!
Come on, move! Move!
Go, go, go!
[officer 3] Move it.
[siren wailing]
[officer 4] Go. Move it.
[chattering]
[Beatrice] That's "A" as in "Alpha."
And "G" as in "Gamma."
And I can give you all the details
and names that you need.
And also, um, specifically Delta Phi Pi.
So that's "D" as in "Delta."
Do you want me to just write this down?
[narrator] Next on Cruel Intentions.
Let the entire institution of Greek life
hang itself in
the court of public opinion.
A lot of money is missing, Blaise.
You turned me into a criminal.
[Blaise] Neither one of us is a criminal.
[CeCe] Professor Chadwick invited me to
the poli-sci department meeting tonight.
You have a history of making sacrifices
for men who aren't who you think they are.
[CeCe] Trust me, I know him.
[Caroline] And I know men.
Welcome to your last dance, ladies.
First, you must be tested.
Ways in which you cannot imagine.
[narrator] Previously on
Cruel Intentions.
How about I walk with you?
- No talking.
- [Annie] Not a word.
[Caroline] Where's Annie Grover?
I want her.
- [Lucien] What's in it for me?
- [Caroline] I'll give you what you want.
Me.
- I really like you.
- [Annie] I really like you too.
- [chuckles]
- I gotta go.
[door closes]
[Lucien] I'm frat Treasurer.
Things started to come together,
like how many reimbursement checks
Scott was signing over to you.
What the fuck do you want?
- Scott, what's going on?
- Stay the fuck away from me.
Fuck my mom for paying
my tennis coach to fuck me.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that.
No, I'm sorry that happened to you.
You haven't won yet.
Game on.
[bell tolling]
[wooden floor creaks]
[footsteps approaching]
[all grunting]
[Lucien] What the fuck?
Hey, get off! [grunting]
[Lucien grunts, muffled]
- [bell tolling]
- [Lucien grunting, muffled]
[student shushes]
- [student 2 mutters] This way. This way.
- [Lucien] Help! [Lucien breathing heavily]
[Lucien screams, muffled]
[high-pitched ringing]
[Lucien grunting, muffled]
[all cheering]
[student 3] Twenty-one.

- We're really doing this?
[all singing] Happy birthday to you ♪
Happy birthday to you ♪
Okay, you can just not.
Happy birthday, dear Lucien ♪
- Happy birthday to you ♪
- Whoo!
[student 4] Chug that shit!
- [all cheering]
- Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!
I've always wondered
what alcohol tastes like.
Whoo!
- [student 5] Shots. Let's go.
- Hey! Come on!
[Caroline] Happy birthday.
[Lucien groans] Did you bring me a gift?
Oh.
You are the gift.
[Caroline scoffs] It's your birthday.
Not a free-for-all.
[groans] What if I want a free-for-all?
- It's not one.
- [sighs]
I do have something else for you though.
Something you'll want.
Well, I want for nothing except you.
Ooh, harder.
I told you, you have to win that.
I intend to. Today.
A little gift from me to me.
So consider this your 12-hour warning
and wax whatever needs waxing,
'cause I'm closing on Annie
by the end of business.
[chuckles] I laser.
And you seem awfully confident,
considering.
Well, I'm a confident kind of guy.
I'll have your consolation prize
waiting for you.
This party is gonna blow your mind.
I look forward to being blown.
[sniffs, sighs]
[line ringing]
Hi, Annie. How are ya?
- What are you doing right now?
- [Scott] Not Alpha Gamma material.
- [students clamoring, jeering]
- [student] Fuck that guy!
[student 2] No!
I can't even look at him, man!
No chance!
- [student 3] Cut him.
- [student 4] Pussy magnet!
See? Now we're talking.
- Yep.
- Wow, excellent vascularity.
- [Scott] Alpha gamma, let's go!
- [all cheer]
[all jeering]
[student 5] No chance!
- Hey! Come on, come on
- [student 3] No!
- Come on, come on
- God, I hope he dies, man. Straight up.
Whoa [sighs]That's not very nice.
- My bad.
- Just fucking cut him, bro.
[all cheering]
[all jeering]
Wait, wait, wait, wait. He's a Scholl.
As in the doctor.
That means he's probably
into fucked-up foot stuff, right?
[all laugh]
- He looks like a homo.
- Yeah, and we already have you, Blaise.
- Ooh!
- [all laugh]
[laughs] All right.
Fucking cut him. Let's go.
- [all cheering]
- Let's go. Next.
- [students chattering]
- Good stuff.
You're the boss, man.
[hip-hop music playing on speakers]
- Hey, man. What's up?
- Hey. What's up?
Not much. Just thinking
power looks really good on you.
[Scott] Thanks. [grunts]
[door closes]
Is that it, or
Yeah. Just wanted to catch up.
Hey, you, uh, never did tell me
how it went with Annie the other night.
[chuckles] Why would I talk to you
about a girl, Blaise?
Right.
Gotcha, brother.
[birds chirping]
Mmm, yeah. It's over.
I'm sorry,
I really hate to be a stickler about this,
but, to me, that's definitely sounding
like you're not a virgin anymore.
I mean, it was literally one second.
Like, it was one thrust,
and then he just kind of ran away.
A thrust is a thrust is a
- Stop saying thrust.
- thrust.
- [sighs] Sorry.
- It doesn't count.
- Really?
- [Caroline] Yeah.
I'm sure Scott feels the same way.
I mean,
it probably didn't count for him either.
- He was a virgin too?
- Yeah, that's what he said.
[CeCe] That's kinda sweet.
Reminds me of Professor Chadwick a little.
Scott reminds you of a professor?
Your professor is a virgin?
I said a little. Forget it. Never mind.
Technically, though
technically, she did have sex.
You did have sex.
Scott was inside you.
So, I mean, like it or not,
he was your first.
Don't get me wrong,
I'd love a do-over myself.
- I mean, I lost mine to my
- CeCe, please.
We're talking about Annie right now.
We don't need to hear
how you broke your hymen.
Well, that's actually a different story.
Gorgeous palomino named Lucky.
[Caroline] Okay. You have to go.
We still need refreshments
for Lucien's party tonight, remember?
Oh, yes.
- Yes. Yes.
- Yes. I'm on it.
- Okay.
- Exceedingly on it.
You will not have to worry about
a single person being refreshed.
- Not tonight.
- Fantastic.
Bye.
- Love you.
- Love you.
- [sighs]
- Don't listen to her.
Whatever happened, that was not sex.
That was a learning experience.
You need to regroup and focus on yourself.
- Mmm.
- And trust me,
the last thing you need
right now is a rebound.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
You're right. Okay. I'm over it.
- Good. Good.
- Good.
[chuckles]
[sighs]
I really hope
everything goes smoothly tonight.
- Is there anything I can help you with?
- Oh, no, no, no, no.
I just
I just really hope
today is perfect for Lucien.
- I'm sure it will be.
- Yeah.
I don't know, birthdays have always
just been a little hard for him.
Why?
[rings]
[Blaise] Hello? Is anybody there?
I have a life to lead
that doesn't revolve around
waiting for a bunch of pencil pushers
to deign to not do their sad little jobs.
[sighs]
Oh, fuck.
- What do you want?
- How long have you been back there?
Long enough to not do my sad little job.
- Well, can you actually do it?
- How can I help you, Blaise?
Congressman Russell's office
needs my academic transcripts
by the end of day today,
and despite three requests,
the best and brightest working here
seem to find it beyond their
capabilities to press "send."
Okay. Uh, come in.
[Blaise clears throat]
- [sighs, whispers] Blaise Powell.
- [typing]
I seem to have figured out the problem.
Run-of-the-mill ineptitude, I assume?
Uh, not on our part.
We'll be happy
to send over your transcripts
as soon as you pay
the outstanding balance on your tuition.
Yes, well, uh,
my dad's being a dick right now,
but they'll send the money, obviously.
Eventually.
So, uh, if you just send the transcripts
over in the meantime,
that'd be great.
I can't. [sighs]
I mean, not without that money.
Look, Beatrice
[Beatrice] You're in arrears.
There's nothing
I can legally do to help you.
Is there something illegally you could do?
Well, I do know of a loophole,
but that could be a big risk, so
[clicks tongue]
[chuckles] This is extortion.
I prefer to think of it as
offering my cooperation
for your cooperation.
You know you'll get your transcripts.
All I need is access.
[chuckles] Yeah,
that's never gonna happen.
I have a strict closed-door policy.
Okay.
Well, when you get desperate enough,
maybe I'll still be willing to negotiate.
[sighs]
[typing]
- Hi.
- Hi.
No "happy birthday"?
Happy birthday.
What are you doing here?
See, I thought we were past
this whole cold-shoulder thing.
I walked you home.
I was a perfect gentleman.
Yes, you were. I just have plans.
- Great. What are we doing?
- We are not doing anything.
You're not gonna make me
spend my birthday alone, are you?
I'm not trying to be mean.
I just don't think you would like this.
Well, if you're there, I will.
- Hmm.
- Come on. It's my birthday.
Okay. You asked for it.
I don't think you're supposed to say that
anymore. It's a little bit victim-blame-y.
Okay, if you're gonna come,
you need to shut up.
Close the door.
[birds chirping]
[students chattering]
- [CeCe] Who told you to stack this here?
- You did.
People can't get in and out of the house.
They'd have to climb over
a dozen cases of Coca-Cola
just to get to the goddamn mailbox.
It's a fire hazard.
[Caroline] What is all this?
What if Caroline needs to leave right now?
You said to get refreshments.
I didn't mean that kind of Coke.
The theme is "Paradise Lost."
When you think "Paradise Lost,"
do you think "soda"?
Well, when I think "Paradise Lost,"
I don't really think "party" either.
The themes aren't really
what I'd call celebratory.
I was discussing it
with Professor Chadwick,
and he says it's really a story about
the ultimate punishment for disobedience.
Okay, I've heard enough
about Professor Chadwick.
He was just trying to be helpful.
His perspective is actually
really stimulating. [chuckles]
Maybe you need less stimulation.
What do you mean?
You have been distracted,
you have been late to things
and you are constantly talking about him.
- No, I'm not.
- Chocolate cake made you think of him.
German chocolate cake.
Is there some medication
you should stop taking?
- Or should be taking more of?
- Prozac won't help this.
- Try lithium.
- Lithium doesn't work on love.
[sighs]
CeCe, this is not love.
This is a manic episode.
No, I'm telling you.
That's why I was so sick.
A roving ne'er-do-well
confirmed it's definitely love.
Lucien doesn't know anything about love.
- That's what I said, but he actually
- This is an obsession.
Just like that fixation you had
on your tennis teacher.
Adrian was different.
You do this every time.
You develop these fantasies
about the men in your life,
and I don't want you to get hurt again.
We need to take care of this right away.
Get him out of your system.
Like a juice cleanse?
[scoffs] Fuck him, CeCe.
The sooner the better.
- That doesn't seem like it'll help.
- It will.
Because once a fantasy becomes a reality,
it's no longer interesting.
The power comes from the potential.
Take away the potential,
and there's nothing left.
So go. Seduce him.
I don't think I'd be very good at that.
- You did it with what's-his-face?
- Blandsman?
I can't just show up to class
in my underwear with an ice bucket.
Okay. Fine. You know him.
Use it. Fuck him and be done with it.
- I think I have an idea.
- And return all that soda.
- I'll be back later.
- Wait, where are you going?
[Caroline] I have a consolation prize
to procure.
[sighs]
[chattering]
[Annie] Here you go.
- Hi. How are you?
- Hi.
- I'm signing in. I'm Annie Grover.
- Oh. Yeah. Okay.
- Thank you.
- Sure.
Uh, come on.
Happy?
Not since I was a child.
So, is this really what you had planned
for today, or is this all for my benefit?
Oh, what, you don't love it here?
- No, I do, in fact love it here.
- Hi, good morning.
I knew you would.
[Lucien] It's, um, life-affirming.
Yeah. Just wait
till we get to the bedpans.
Is that what you do here?
Yeah, and a lot of sponge baths.
A lot of, um, wiping.
You know,
wiping whatever needs wiping, really.
- And the residents enjoy it too.
- Oh, I'm sure.
After you adjust their catheters.
- I talk to them, you deviant.
- Mm-hmm.
Deviant?
You're the one with all the wiping.
Okay. They actually have
pretty good stories, so
I'm sure.
About soft foods and insurance premiums.
[Annie] That's not what they talk about.
- They talk about fucking mostly.
- [elevator bell dings]
- Oh.
- Yeah.
- This place? Riddled with STDs.
- Okay.
- [Annie] Hi.
- [coughing]
Let's, um let's take the stairs.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, I think so.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- [Annie] Cool.
- [coughing continues]
And to think you could've spent your
birthday doing body shots off of strippers
instead of playing cards
with a woman named Doris.
You know, play those cards right,
and I could end up doing
body shots off of Doris.
You know,
apparently it's very horny in here.
[Annie chuckles]
- It's locked.
- Of course, it is.
You know,
maybe I'll introduce Doris to mah-jongg.
- I mean, I'm pretty good.
- Hmm. Strip mah-jongg?
[Lucien] Well, that depends.
I mean, are you playing too?
Shit.
I guess this is when it pays
to have a Secret Service team.
[Annie] Oh.
If I had any reception.
Do you?
Nada.
[sighs]
[birds chirping]
[hip-hop music playing on speakers]
Hey, buddy [sighs]don't wanna bug ya,
but I just need your signature real quick.
For what?
Oh, fraternity business,
reimbursements, party shit.
Leave it in my room.
I'll sign it when I'm done.
Scott, it'll only take a second.
Why are you in here?
You don't play sports.
Yes. I know that, but, look,
I-I just needed a signature real quick
'cause I'm out a lot of money right now.
- So
- So? Cover it yourself.
I'll get to it when I get to it, okay?
[breathing heavily]
[sighs] Okay.
[Scott breathing heavily]
Hi, there.
Is there a really annoying redhead
working the front desk right now?
- Hi, Yolanda.
- Oh, Miss Caroline.
I'm sorry, but your parents aren't here.
I know.
And neither am I.

- Okay.
Nope. No, no, no. Thank you.
[clicks tongue] Great job.
- Really great class today.
- Thank you.
You know, I've been thinking recently.
- Just recently? [laughs]
- About class, actually.
I've been thinking about a way
to add that human-interest element.
Oh, great.
What were you thinking about it?
Sex.
I mean, their sex lives. The fascists.
I can't say that I've given much thought
to the sex lives of fascists.
Well, exactly.
That's exactly what I'm saying.
I don't think anybody
really thinks about it,
but I think it could add some new insight.
Could be quite revealing.
How so?
Um, well, what if all that longing
and pent-up energy
actually contributed
to their political agendas?
So, you're saying that fascism
is a result of sexual frustration?
I mean, it could be.
Um, everybody knows that Hitler
was miserable with Eva.
I think it's fair to say
he could have used a release.
And Napoleon.
He was obsessed with Josephine
while he was away fighting.
It completely distracted him
from making sound decisions in battle.
I mean, don't you think
wanting something, someone,
so badly could make anyone a little crazy?
- [breathes heavily]
- You sold me.
- [exhales deeply]
- I mean, it's at least worth exploring.
Why don't you, uh,
put together a reading syllabus for us,
and we'll, uh, take a look at it later?
Reading syllabus.
Um, yes. Okay, good. I'll do that for us.
I mean, for you. Um, I love reading, so
Great. [sighs]
How'd this door get locked?
[door opens, creaks]
[footsteps departing]
[clicks tongue, sighs]
[knocking on door]
[Annie] Hello?
Hello, anyone?
I mean, they're all probably
fucking STDs into each other
with their hearing aids turned off,
so I don't think they're gonna hear us.
Someone has to hear us eventually.
Or they'll notice we're missing.
Hello! Hello!
[sighs] You got a real
crack Secret Service team.
I mean, Annie Grover,
the vice president's daughter,
felled by a stairway.
They don't follow me everywhere.
I'm not the president,
and most of the time,
I don't even want them to.
So, how long
until you think they'll notice?
I mean [sighs]
I usually stay here a few hours.
[sighs]
Why? You're enjoying this?
- Could be worse.
- We're locked in a stairwell.
- So?
- Right. I forgot your whole thing.
Lucien Belmont,
the boy who cares for nothing.
Firstly, I'm 21 today,
so I'm the man who cares for nothing.
And, secondly,
I care about a lot of things.
I resent the implication I don't.
You know? I care about good,
clean American fun.
All the amendments.
- You know, freedom of speech
- Mm-hmm.
the one about guns
- and, uh [sighs]
- [sighs]
well, maybe I care about you.
Okay.
Okay, well, if you care about me,
then you'll help me get us out of here.

- Blaise, hold on.

Mind the wings.
I'm with him.
- ["Brand New Bitch" playing on speakers]
- [partygoers chattering]
This is a pretty great party.
It's like Persepolis but with less fire.
- Don't talk to me.
- That's rude.
- [music continues]
- [chattering continues]
Those transcripts
aren't gonna send themselves.
[Blaise] That's talking to me.
[Beatrice grunts] Wait.
That's a word that you're saying
in my direction.
Know what? Fine.
I don't have to speak, okay?
I am fantastic arm candy.
You do know what you look like, right?
Oh. You're back.
- Just had to find the right date.
- It's not a date.
It's not a date.
- [music continues]
- [chattering continues]
I need a drink.
Or a lobotomy.
Rum and Diet Coke for me, please.
[sighs] God, I hate you.
Thank you so much.
[music continues]
- Hi, guys.
- Hey. What's up, Caroline?
Has Lucien arrived?
Not to my knowledge. Not yet, no.
He loves an entrance.
CeCe?
- Yeah?
- Anything else?
You haven't been this quiet
since your mother had your jaw
wired shut freshman year.
No freshman 15.
So, you didn't fuck him.
I tried, I swear.
I mean, I did everything right.
I got him alone.
I'm telling you, I used everything I knew.
- I put the moves on him in a major way.
- I do not need details.
All he did was tell me to make a syllabus.
He probably had no idea
what you were doing.
No. Trust me, he knew.
He just didn't want to have sex with me.
Not possible.
Really? How do you know?
I've seen him. He carries a backpack.
- I carry a backpack.
- I know.
You just have to make it
more painfully obvious.
I don't think it could be more painful.
Just get him out of the classroom.
- What if he rejects me again?
- He won't.
[sighs] That hasn't been my experience.
He's a man, CeCe.
And men, beyond all reason
and above all else, want one thing.
To fuck.
My turn.
Desert island draft pick.
Me or your mom?
My mom, easy.
[Lucien] Okay,
that was just a practice round.
- Me or Beatrice?
- Don't be a dick.
Oh, I think the fact
that you think that was mean
says a lot more about you than it does me.
Okay, fine. Then I pick Beatrice.
Well, that's just insane.
[chuckles]
Me or Scott?
Too soon?
Okay, well, I don't wanna play anymore.
[sighs]
You never really did tell me
what happened there.
And I'm not going to.
No, I'm just saying, you know, if he did
something or you need help or whatever
I'm here.
You're really bad at this.
Okay, feelings are not really my forte,
but I'm trying.
Hmm.
For instance, when I saw you
and Scott all coupled up together, I had
Mm-hmm?
feelings.
Oh.
Wow. That's really vulnerable.
Okay, I was jealous.
- I'm sorry. I was jealous.
- Yeah?
Mm-hmm.
Well, I feel glad that you were jealous.
Well, I feel glad that you feel glad.
This isn't a good idea.
Feels like a pretty good idea to me.
No, it's just, I don't I don't think
that we should do this today.
You know, I'm in a weird place,
and you're in a weird place.
- No, I'm not.
- Yeah.
People are weird
on their birthdays sometimes.
Wait, who's being weird? I'm being weird?
Look, I just think that we should
concentrate on getting out of here.
You know?
Caroline's been working
really hard on your party.
- So this is about Caroline?
- No.
I mean [sighs]yes, but she's
she's concerned.
Caroline's concerned?
Let me guess.
You need to take some time to yourself
after everything that's happened
with you and Scott.
And about you.
How birthdays are hard for you because
of what happened with your mom.
Caroline told you that?
She She's just worried.
Fuck this.
Lucien. Lucien, wait.
Lucien.
Lucien, where are you going?
Wait, Lucien.
- [alarm blaring]
- Lucien.
[sighs]
- [electronic music playing on speakers]
- [partygoers chattering]
[panting, moaning]
Hi, honey.
I'm looking for the birthday boy.
I'm not him.
Okay. Whatever.
Oh, here's the birthday boy now.
I'm not a boy. I'm not a boy. He's joking.
I don't have time for this.
I have someone to seduce.
Okay.
Professor Chadwick.
- [pants] You're here.
- Yeah, I got your message.
- Are you okay? Are you sick again?
- No, I'm fine.
I lied to get you here. I just
I really needed to talk to you.
And, uh, where's here?
[CeCe pants]
This can't happen.
Wait! Wait, I'm so sorry!
Fuck! I had a balloon earlier.
And God knows what was in that thing,
but it must have made me completely crazy.
And I know there's no excuse,
but I just want to say that I'm so sorry,
and please don't fire me.
CeCe, I'm not gonna fire you, but we
both have to pretend that never happened.
[slurps, gulps]
Totally. I'm so sorry.
That was so stupid, and I just
I've just been so distracted lately
and completely preoccupied,
and I was sick last week,
and I really would have never
thought anything of it,
but then I realized
I have these feelings for you,
and I thought that if you didn't find it
completely repulsive,
we could just have sex.
Like a juice cleanse but not.
But I have done them before
and really they work wonders.
- I mean, my skin was never clearer.
- What?
There are toxins in your body,
and it's very important to get them out.
No, I mean before the juice cleanse stuff.
Oh, right. Um, I was just saying
that I got it crystal clear.
I totally understand. You don't have
the same feelings for me and I
I do, but
- I gotta go.
- Wait. You do what?
I think you're amazing.
Okay. Sorry,
I'm just really bad at this stuff.
Does that mean you did
or didn't like the kissing?
[Chadwick] It doesn't matter.
These aren't the type of feelings that
we can get rid of by sleeping together.
- So you didn't like it.
- CeCe, we can't do this.
I'm a professor. And your boss.
[stammers] It's a power imbalance.
Okay, so you are firing me?
Or you want me to quit?
No. No.
That's the exact wrong way to handle this.
We work so well together.
Which means we need
to keep things professional.
Just keep on living our own lives.
Yes. Living our own lives.
What does that mean?
You should date. Other people.
I'll do the same.
While we're doing that,
we can get to know each other better.
And after you graduate,
we'll see what happens.
You want to see what happens?
Yes. I really do.
[exhales deeply]
Now I really gotta go.
- [music continues]
- [partygoers chattering]
- [person 1] Look who showed up.
- [person 2] Hey, Lucien. Happy birthday.
- Finally. The birthday boy.
- Not now.
Leave.
Happy birthday.
Get everything you wanted?
You had your hand on the scale
with Annie all day.
Got you that gift though.
I thought we were
supposed to be in this together,
but there are lines that we don't cross.
Mothers included.
You know perfectly well that there
are no lines between us, dear brother.
That's what makes it so fun.
Did you honestly think
I was gonna make this easy for you?
- That was too far.
- You said you wanted a challenge, Lucien.
- Well, here's your fucking challenge.
- This isn't about any challenge.
- You're scared.
- [scoffs] Scared?
Of you?
I saw it in your eyes that night.
With your mom.
You want me, and it terrifies you.
You are the stuff nightmares are made of.
You'll get what you want.
But it'll be on my terms.
I'm done playing by your rules.
It's about time you cracked the whip.
[Lucien] You don't have
the upper hand anymore, Caroline.
[electronic music playing on speakers]
[Annie] Lucien. Oh, my God. There you are.
Listen, I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have
said anything about your mom.
[stammers] That was stupid,
and I feel awful.
It's fine.
No, it's not fine.
But don't be mad at Caroline.
Okay, she only told me
because she loves you.
Oh, you have no idea what Caroline loves.
Okay.
She's your sister.
Only because my dad married her mom
after I found my mom hanging
from the rafters on my 12th birthday.
[CeCe] You were wrong.
About Professor Chadwick.
He's not like Adrian.
He's not something
I can just fuck out of my system.
Not that Adrian was something
I fucked out of my system.
But, Caroline, he loves me too.
We just have to wait until graduation,
and then we can be together.
- Well then.
- [yelps] I'm happy for me too.
So happy.
This is going to completely
destroy my emotional baseline,
but I feel like it's so worth it.
Stop, stop. I'm so sorry.
- What are you doing, man?
- For fuck's sake.
- I think you have to back off, Lucien.
- Scott, it's okay.
You should go and sleep it off,
- okay?
- Back the fuck off my girlfriend!
She's not your girlfriend, Scott.
You're gay.
- [grunts]
- [partygoer screams]
It's time for cake.
- [partygoers clamoring]
- [grunting, panting]
Happy birthday to you ♪
Happy birthday to you ♪
[officer 1] Police, nobody move!
- Break it up!
- [partygoers clamoring, screaming]
- Scott! Scott, let's go. Come on!
- [partygoer 2] It's a raid!
Fuck off me! Fuck off me! [grunts]
[officer 2] Break it up!
Put your hands up!
Put your hands up!
On the ground!
[clamoring]
[siren wailing]
[Beatrice] It's about time
that you got here.
You should also check out balloons
in there. That was not helium,
and they've all these kinds
of illegal things
that they're probably already flushing.
Like pills on trays.
And there's also, um,
apples that are not for eating.
[clamoring continues]
Oh, my God. Lucien.
- Come on.
- [grunts]
Let's go!
Come on, move! Move!
Go, go, go!
[officer 3] Move it.
[siren wailing]
[officer 4] Go. Move it.
[chattering]
[Beatrice] That's "A" as in "Alpha."
And "G" as in "Gamma."
And I can give you all the details
and names that you need.
And also, um, specifically Delta Phi Pi.
So that's "D" as in "Delta."
Do you want me to just write this down?
[narrator] Next on Cruel Intentions.
Let the entire institution of Greek life
hang itself in
the court of public opinion.
A lot of money is missing, Blaise.
You turned me into a criminal.
[Blaise] Neither one of us is a criminal.
[CeCe] Professor Chadwick invited me to
the poli-sci department meeting tonight.
You have a history of making sacrifices
for men who aren't who you think they are.
[CeCe] Trust me, I know him.
[Caroline] And I know men.
Welcome to your last dance, ladies.
First, you must be tested.
Ways in which you cannot imagine.
