One of Us Is Lying (2021) s01e06 Episode Script
One of Us Is Dancing!
1
They say even the bravest wild cat hunts
with their head down, stalking its prey.
Killing its quarry when they're
at their most vulnerable.
Out there in the field last night,
our Wildcats didn't
just murder Dana Point,
we slaughtered them!
Whoo! Hey!
[AWKWARD MURMURING]
Too soon? Yeah, I I get it.
Well, uh,
the last few weeks have
been a total nightmare, guys.
But we will be the disco mirror ball
that shines the way forward.
Who's ready to party? Hey!

Again, why are we doing this?
Because mom and dad

They overestimate the

B, do I really have to tell
you that it's your senior year?
You don't want a few good memories
before the inevitable court proceedings?
- Not funny, Maeve.
- Okay, fine.
No more jokes about you
potentially going to prison.
Say, "Not guilty!"
This is a circle of hell
even Dante never imagined.
Time to party, losers.
Oh, Bronwyn Rojas with the

Ew, what a stunt queen.
Everywhere these people
go turns into a shit show.
At least Addy had the

Okay, you want to tell me why
we're meeting a few feet away
from the entire fucking school?
Someone was at the water
park last night stalking me,
like, inside the park, following me,
- and none of you were there.
- What? Who?
- Are you okay?
- Barely.
And they followed you to Murder club?
We really need a rebranding.
If Nate hadn't finally shown up,
I'd be taking selfies
with Jesus right now.
I wanted to hear what she had to say.
You guys might wanna hear it too.
I know who posted our
secrets to About That.
- What?
- Who?
Right on cue.
[INTRIGUING MUSIC]
My art.
Vote for us for homecoming courts
if you wish to come to my after-party.
Does he have your vote?
Comes with an invitation to
get roofied at his pool party.
That is a hard pass.
Also, does nobody see the
irony in voting for a monarchy?
History teachers at this
school are failing us.
- Democracy sucks.
- Right.
After all, he is most likely
to end up in Washington
representing California's
48th congressional district.
Weren't you friends with this guy?
Well, to be fair, he
was always an asshole.
Then one summer, he got abs,
and I draw the line
at an asshole with abs.
You drew the line?
You know, there should really
be some sort of public database
for these charlatans.
Expose these entitled assholes
for who they really are.
Yeah, there should be an app for that.
[INTRIGUING MUSIC]
Well, now, there's an idea.
You know what? We
should go to Homecoming.
- Whoa, no.
- Together.
No, Simon, I can't,
'cause I have to gouge
my eyes out that night.
- And I'm serious.
- [SCOFFS]
We could get some
inspiration for this app idea.
You little fucked up
"Gossip Girl" wannabe.
"Gossip Girl"? Wow.
You are gay.
And you fucking ruined our lives.
Why should we listen to her?
Just hear her out, please.
Tell them about the messages.
Yeah, I posted your
secrets, but that's it.
Somebody locked me out
and changed the password
before the picture of
your meeting was posted,
and the video of you, Bronwyn.
Last time I tried to log in, all I got
was this threatening message.
It popped up and then disappeared.
What did it say?
"Simon says: back off."
But you have no proof.
Okay, do you guys have any
idea of what would happen
if they catch us
meeting in secret again?
How that'll look in
the eyes of the police,
who we already know are
dying to make an arrest?
Wait, we think we know
who killed Simon, and
who's been stalking us.
- So just tell us already.
- It's TJ.
- TJ?
- Yeah.
The day that Simon was murdered,
I saw TJ grab him in the hall.
They had a whole argument.
It's how Simon got detention.
I'm pretty sure TJ was
threatening him, okay?
I didn't think anything of it at first,
but that's just because I
thought one of you did it.
No offense.
What if TJ knew that Simon
was going to post our secrets?
He told me he had done
something he wasn't proud of.
Of course you'd think
someone would kill for you.
Well, someone was stalking me
at the water park last night,
and TJ has been messaging
me, and is obsessed with me.
And after I broke his
heart, and he got suspended,
someone revoked Janae's
access to About That,
followed the four of us,
and then posted that
photo of our meeting place.
So, like, maybe you can
just believe women, Bronwyn.
Seriously?
TJ's like, the chillest
guy I've ever met.
I really don't see it.
Is it possible he's
smarter than he looks
and sounds and acts?
Look, I mean, sometimes
people aren't what you expect.
And sometimes people are
exactly what you expect.
This is ridiculous.
If it's so ridiculous,
Nate would be crossing the
border into Tijuana right now.
Instead, he's here,
helping me with my plan.
Is that true?
He had his passport on him last night.
He still has it on his motorcycle,
and he's planning to
leave if my plan doesn't
I didn't think it mattered to you
where I parked my bike, Bronwyn.
Okay, not this shit again.
What do you mean your plan?
TJ's here tonight.
I can get close to him,
maybe tug on his heartstrings,
distract him and then Nate
can swing by, swipe his phone,
and we can use his location
data to retrace his steps.
No!
If you're right about TJ, that means
that he's a psycho stalker killer.
You shouldn't be tugging
on anything of his.
- He's actually right.
- Thanks.
You should do it.
- Excuse me?
- You're his friend.
Make him use his phone, check the code.
Once he's had a few drinks,
I'll bump into him and take it.
Okay, okay, say we do this.
How are you going to get
the data off TJ's phone?
I heard that your sister's
good with computers
- and stuff, so
- No, no way. Don't you see?
She's pointing at someone
else so we don't focus on her.
Oh, that's normally your thing.
What are you saying?
- We all saw the video.
- You stole the laptop.
Clearly, you didn't want
your secret getting out.
Neither did any of you.
And I didn't tell you about the laptop
because I didn't want to implicate you,
but you went ahead and ratted
me out the first chance you got.
They were pressuring
me about Cooper and
and his incident in the past.
What? So there's something?
That doesn't matter.
It matters if you're still lying to us.
Okay, well, I may not be perfect,
but at least I didn't
fake my mom's death.
Okay, you guys, enough.
There's someone out
there trying to frame us,
and, judging by last night,
even trying to kill us.
Can we all just work
together for one night?
[TENSE MUSIC]
Fine.
But my sister's not
gonna be involved in this.
And just so you know, I don't trust her.
I barely trust any of you.
♪
- You look
- Ridiculous? I know.
That's not what I was gonna say.
That's not how I wanted you
to find out I was leaving.
Look, Janae's story doesn't add up.
If Simon was caught fighting with TJ,
then why wasn't TJ in detention?
It would at least be on his record.
So if the story is true,
then Gupta would have
a record of the altercation.
In her office.
Your parents are right.
I am a bad influence.

Nathaniel MaCauley.
It's even bigger than I thought it'd be.
That's bait.
You think there's anything
in here that might explain
how your mom rose from the dead?
How long have you been waiting
to bring it up, Bronwyn?
Oh, I don't know, Nate.
Ever since I saw her
at your house, not dead.
I'm sorry I lied to you, okay?
But I'm not sorry you
didn't know the truth
because that would mean you know
about her mental health issues,
her drug problems, how she abandoned me.
I told the lie because it
was easier than the truth.
But once you say something like that,
how how do you unsay it?
You sound like a fucking
psycho at that point.

Just needed a little time

How about a dance?

- Yeah.

It's our last homecoming.
There's no one else I'd

Can you believe her?
Haven't you been grinding all

Um, okay, speaking of
unwelcomed observations,
there's a little rumor going
around about your boyfriend.
And in my opinion, shoe fits.
I don't even know what
you're talking about.
Were you not questioned by the police?
They're implying you're
really not his type.
Because he's gay.

that Addy and Bronwyn were

should go to Homecoming.

No, Simon, I can't,

You are gay.
And you fucking ruined our lives.
Why should we listen to her?
Just hear her out, please.
Tell them about the messages.
Yeah, I posted your
secrets, but that's it.
Somebody locked me out
and changed the password
before the picture of
your meeting was posted,
and the video of you, Bronwyn.
Last time I tried to log in, all I got
was this threatening message.
It popped up and then disappeared.
What did it say?
"Simon says: back off."
But you have no proof.
Okay, do you guys have any
idea of what would happen
if they catch us
meeting in secret again?
How that'll look in
the eyes of the police,
who we already know are
dying to make an arrest?
Wait, we think we know
who killed Simon, and
who's been stalking us.
- So just tell us already.
- It's TJ.
- TJ?
- Yeah.
The day that Simon was murdered,
I saw TJ grab him in the hall.
They had a whole argument.
It's how Simon got detention.
I'm pretty sure TJ was
threatening him, okay?
I didn't think anything of it at first,
but that's just because I
thought one of you did it.
No offense.
What if TJ knew that Simon
was going to post our secrets?
He told me he had done
something he wasn't proud of.
Of course you'd think
someone would kill for you.
Well, someone was stalking me
at the water park last night,
and TJ has been messaging
me, and is obsessed with me.
And after I broke his
heart, and he got suspended,
someone revoked Janae's
access to About That,
followed the four of us,
and then posted that
photo of our meeting place.
So, like, maybe you can
just believe women, Bronwyn.
Seriously?
TJ's like, the chillest
guy I've ever met.
I really don't see it.
Is it possible he's
smarter than he looks
and sounds and acts?
Look, I mean, sometimes
people aren't what you expect.
And sometimes people are
exactly what you expect.
This is ridiculous.
If it's so ridiculous,
Nate would be crossing the
border into Tijuana right now.
Instead, he's here,
helping me with my plan.
Is that true?
He had his passport on him last night.
He still has it on his motorcycle,
and he's planning to
leave if my plan doesn't
I didn't think it mattered to you
where I parked my bike, Bronwyn.
Okay, not this shit again.
What do you mean your plan?
TJ's here tonight.
I can get close to him,
maybe tug on his heartstrings,
distract him and then Nate
can swing by, swipe his phone,
and we can use his location
data to retrace his steps.
No!
If you're right about TJ, that means
that he's a psycho stalker killer.
You shouldn't be tugging
on anything of his.
- He's actually right.
- Thanks.
You should do it.
- Excuse me?
- You're his friend.
Make him use his phone, check the code.
Once he's had a few drinks,
I'll bump into him and take it.
Okay, okay, say we do this.
How are you going to get
the data off TJ's phone?
I heard that your sister's
good with computers
- and stuff, so
- No, no way. Don't you see?
She's pointing at someone
else so we don't focus on her.
Oh, that's normally your thing.
What are you saying?

Clearly, you didn't want
your secret getting out.
Neither did any of you.
