Cruel Intentions (2024) s01e07 Episode Script

1
[Beatrice] Previously on
Cruel Intentions.
- [gasps]
- CeCe, we can't do this.
I'm a professor, which means we need
to keep things professional.
I needed a signature real quick
'cause I'm out a lot of money right now,
- so
- So? Cover it yourself.
[Lucien] I'm frat Treasurer.
Things started to come together,
like how many reimbursement checks
Scott was signing over to you.
[Annie] I shouldn't have
said anything about your mom.
Don't be mad at Caroline. Okay,
she only told me 'cause she loves you.
You have no idea what Caroline loves.
[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.
- That was too far.
- You said you wanted a challenge, Lucien.
- Well, here's your fucking challenge.
- But there are lines that we don't cross.
[Caroline] You know perfectly well
that there are no lines
between us, dear brother.
You haven't won yet.
That's what makes it so fun.
[birds chirping]
[students chattering]
- Did you do a balloon?
- No, Ella, I did not do a balloon.
I didn't subjugate myself
and go to that party for nothing.
I heard there was a snake stripper.
I don't want to talk about it.
But yes, there was.
Honestly? It's like they're playing
checkers, and you're playing chess.
You know, for the first time
in a long time, I feel good.
I feel like I really
accomplished something.
I did what needed to be done.
Maybe you should call that reporter.
No. I'm out of the limelight.
Let the entire institution of Greek life
hang itself in
the court of public opinion.
They can humiliate
themselves for a change.
We really do love family visits
here at the Manchester Chapter.
I'm sure you've seen it all before.
I bet you had some parties that could
certainly give us a run for our money.
We never had snake strippers
or ketamine-filled balloons.
Both charter-revoking offenses.
Tea?
[Chadwick] This section's called,
"An End to Fascism."
Just as it's important to understand
why fascist regimes come to power,
it's equally important
to understand why they fall.
They don't.
CeCe, we've talked about this before.
You're wrong.
Okay, yes, I'll agree that
they don't always stay in power,
but I disagree with the verbiage.
I don't think "fall" is the right word
because it's not the leaders that change.
It's not their fault. It's society.
So you say, but if society decides
it no longer wants or needs
the rule of fascism,
does that not constitute a failure
of effective leadership?
So, this is where the party took place?
Oh, no, no, no. No way.
Uh, it definitely wasn't up here, I think.
I don't know, man. It was super dark.
Look, it wasn't
an Alpha Gamma-sponsored event.
Yeah.
This isn't the first complaint
we've had about your chapter.
Well, I just started as president, so
He's referring to the hazing incident
in which you were injured.
- Mm-hmm.
- [Scott] Hmm.
The one.
One bad apple.
- He means Rourke Reynolds.
- Yeah.
See, we thought he was a good guy,
but, you know, bad apple.
[chuckles]
We'll just need to take a look
at your records.
Yeah, we-we just use Spotify.
Financial and membership records.
- They're in the basement.
- They're in the basement. [chuckles]
It's not an indication
of anything other than
that people don't always
know what's best for them.
It's the hearts and minds
of the countrymen that change,
not the leadership.
In a way, it's actually a sign
of successful leadership
that these governments are overthrown.
All right,
I'll shoot the elephant in the room.
It is unfortunate that some of
our members were in attendance.
But I assure you, as Deltas,
we would never endorse
that kind of party
or any of that appalling behavior.
To speed this process along,
I've taken the liberty
of putting together all of our financial,
academic and ethical records for you.
I've also included
some preliminary numbers
on this year's rush class,
which is stronger than ever,
as you'll see by some of the PNMs
who've pref'ed us.
This is very thorough.
Is this Annie Grover?
Like, the vice president's daughter?
She's lovely.
We'll need to see the rest of the house.
Of course.
Right this way.
[CeCe] Their leadership
built successful societies.
Thank you.
I'm just saying,
it's only once the planes run on time that
people think to complain about the Wi-Fi.
[Chadwick] But at some point,
the citizens will begin to perceive
their leaders as oppressive.
[CeCe] Okay, but perception
by definition is subjective.
[Chadwick] Well, the question is,
did society change or did leadership?
You have somewhere to be?
Oh, yes. But we haven't finished.
Well, fascism isn't going anywhere,
so go on, live your life.
Right. My life. Your life.
Separate but equal.
- Don't love that.
- No, that's right.
I don't stand by that.
I just meant, like, in terms of us.
You know, our whole thing.
- I'll see you at the department meeting.
- Um, yes.
I actually was meaning to ask, uh,
the email didn't mention a dress code.
So, what do you think?
- Academic chic? Intellectually festive?
- Just be yourself.
Historically,
that hasn't worked out for me.
[chuckles] Oh.
Think about what the fascists
could have done to change their fate.
[students humming]
Want you to linger, mmm
A little longer, mmm ♪
A little longer here with us ♪
Mmm, it's such a perfect day
Mmm, we wish you all could stay ♪
The board will be in touch
in five to seven business days
to communicate their decision.
We look forward to putting
this all behind us.
- [humming continues]
- Safe travels.
We'll miss you here at Delta Phi, mmm ♪
Really glad you guys could, uh, stop by,
see how standing up we all are.
Upstanding, bud.
Right. [stammers]
But we're not quite done yet.
[stammers] I'll be staying behind to
go over the finances with the treasurer.
- Oh, he's actually
- Unfortunately, our treasurer is not
what you'd call, uh, how do I put this,
our most reliable brother,
but I'd be happy
to walk you through it myself.
Oh, you're not the treasurer.
You're the social chair.
Rules are rules.
I need the treasurer, president and VP.
Right, but let's say one of those guys,
uh, won't come to the meeting
because another one of those guys
punched him.
What's the what's the rule with that?
- I'm sorry?
- It's a hypothetical.
Yeah.
I'll wait for the treasurer.
Nathan. You know,
can I get you a beverage?
- Yeah, let's
- [Brian] Do you play golf?
[sighs]
[Caroline] We are in good shape,
but our fate, CeCe,
rests in the hands of a group of
polyester-wearing middle Americans.
For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure
the blonde was from Alabama.
Hmm.
The state may change,
the polyester does not.
Where are we with Annie?
She RSVP'd "yes" to Scav Hunt today.
Mmm. We'll need to confirm.
Well, RSVP actually stands
for "répondez s'il vous plaît,"
which pretty much directly translates
to "Tell us if you're coming"
in the formal French,
and she definitely said "oui."
Then confirm it. [speaks French]
Well, I'm pretty sure she'd tell you
if she changed her mind.
I mean,
considering how close you guys are.
It seems like
you're always talking about her,
- like you're best friends or something.
- Okay.
Enough with the petty jealousies
and the pathetic French accent.
What matters today, right now,
is that the board will never
pull our charter as long as we have Annie.
So, after Scav Hunt,
you will hand out the bids,
we will move the pledge
ceremony up to tonight.
Annie will be a Delta by morning.
I can do all that,
but we can't do the ceremony tonight.
[Caroline] If you quote a bylaw
to me right now, I swear to God.
C-28 states,
"The Rush Chair must be in attendance."
Are you no longer the Rush Chair?
I am the Rush Chair. That's the problem.
So, you're the problem.
Professor Chadwick invited me to
the poli-sci department meeting tonight.
[chuckles] Just to be clear.
You are endangering the foundation
of our sisterhood
so you can drink cheap wine
and network with people
who matter less than Professor Chadwick,
who already matters very little.
It's a huge privilege.
I already picked out my outfit.
At least in my head.
I know you said
we're keeping things professional,
but do you think that means bra or no bra?
Oh, God.
CeCe.
He's grooming you.
I haven't even thought
about hair and makeup.
He's a predator.
He is isolating you from your friends,
from your community.
No, he wants me to be with my community.
I just can't be with my community tonight.
We have plenty of time.
The board doesn't decide
for five to seven business days.
And what if Annie changes her mind
during that time?
- Why would she do that?
- We need her.
You need to run the Scav Hunt,
hand out the bids,
and make sure she pledges.
Tonight.
Yes. Absolutely.
I can do all of that today.
And preside over Pledge Night
tomorrow.
[inhales deeply]
Fine.
But you are going to have
to live with your decisions.
And just know I am deeply,
deeply concerned.
You have a history of making sacrifices
for men who aren't who you think they are.
Oh, no.
Professor Chadwick is nothing like Adrian.
Trust me. I know him.
And I know men.
[groans]
- [bell tolls]
- [chattering]
[phone buzzing]
[buzzing continues]
Triple latte, oat milk.
I said triple latte, almond milk.
I triple latte don't care.
[Annie] Yeah, it was just a party, Mom.
- Caroline handled it.
- Hi, Ellen.
Oh, um, I have to go.
No, no one's here.
I just have to get ready
for this rush thing.
Yes. Yes, still Delta Phi.
- Bye, Ellen.
- Okay, um, bye.
It's a good thing you amuse yourself.
You know who finds me funny?
- [Annie] Hmm?
- Your mom.
I have to get ready
for the scavenger hunt.
[Lucien] So, you're abandoning me
for a sorority event?
[Annie] Well, I haven't seen Caroline
or anyone else in, like, three days.
You know, it's important
to remember that other people exist.
Well, what about Sandy? Isn't she people?
Or Mulder or Scully? They're not people?
You know they're not.
Don't tell me they're aliens.
The truth is out there,
and they'll probably
still be here tonight.
Well, I got some more
interesting plans for tonight.
- [Annie] Ooh, yeah?
- [grunts]
Like, outside of this room?
It's a surprise.
Oh, God.
That is truly a terrifying notion.
- Bye.
- Bye.
[hip-hop music playing on speakers]
- [Blaise] Hey.
- Oh, hey.
Oh, you can look.
I'm not doing anything private.
Need a hand?
[Scott] Oh, I get it, 'cause,
like, my hand's messed up.
That's good. I like those old-timey jokes.
No. I meant, do you need help?
With your hand.
Uh, yeah, actually.
[music continues]
Messed things up pretty good,
didn't I? [sighs]
Wait. Can you even mess things up good?
I thought, like, messing up was,
like, generally bad.
We will fix it.
I wish I had a time machine.
So you can go back
and see Jesus's magic tricks?
[chuckles] Yeah, totally, but
Like, after Jesus's stuff, it's like,
maybe not punch Lucien,
you know, get the frat in trouble.
Not be a total dick to you.
Scott, it's fine.
No.
Hey, we're best friends. Um
All done. [sighs]
I love you, brother.
Yeah. 'Course.
No, like for real.
[sighs]
[exhales sharply]
I'm gonna go check up on Nathan.
Okay.
[chattering]
[phone buzzing]
Oh, it's about time you unblocked me.
I ignored you.
Much less effort.
Sounds like you might be a tiny bit mad.
Mad? I don't get mad.
Dogs get mad.
I have other ways to entertain myself.
Well, I admit I may have
gotten a little carried away,
but you know how we sometimes
get when we're having fun.
Oh, is that your version of an apology?
Because I heard nothing
remotely resembling remorse.
Well, I feel remorse.
Or something resembling it.
Apologizing, fishing for information.
I wonder, what would it actually take
for you to beg?
You know I don't like to be toyed with.
I'll be in touch to collect my winnings.
Lucien, need I remind you
there's more at stake regarding Annie
than our little agreement?
Goodbye, Caroline.
[sighs] Jesus.
[sighs]
[engine starts]
[engine revs]
- [crashes]
- [tires screech]
[sighs]
I'm so sorry.
This is all my fault.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
Oh, God. Look at your poor Prius.
Let me take care of it, please.
It's [chuckles]the least I could do.
[stammers] I'm Emily,
by the way. [chuckles]
Hank.
[sighs]
[sighs] Maybe we should tell them
he's been incapacitated.
I know I punched him pretty hard, I don't
I don't think I knocked his head off.
That's not, uh
You think he'll forgive me?
Who do we have here?
Just two clean-cut men
spreading God's word,
or is this the Avon ladies calling?
Scott, here, wanted to say he's very sorry
for fighting you.
- Yeah.
- Okay? He's very torn up about it,
so, forgiveness would mean a lot to him.
Well, olive branch accepted.
But if you'll excuse me,
I have some decorating supervising to do.
[stammers] I don't like olives.
- They're too salty.
- Keep it rolling. No more olives.
Okay. Um, right.
Look, man, I know,
uh, we don't have a time machine
- This is escalating strangely.
- Hmm.
Can you just please come back
to the house with us?
Okay, Nathan wants you.
Nathan. Sounds titillating.
[Scott] He's a guy from Nationals.
He says if the treasurer doesn't do
the audit, we could lose our house.
An audit, huh?
Okay, come on.
We'll figure out
how to do this without him.
No, an audit sounds like a lot of fun.
Amazing. All right. Right on.
Okay, ladies, remember the first
and last 20 minutes of Eyes Wide Shut.
Just skip the middle weirdness for now.
Thank you.
[patrons chattering]
Welcome to your last dance, ladies.
If you succeed today,
you will be welcomed into the arms
of your new sisterhood.
But first, you must be tested.
Intellectually, physically,
psychologically.
Ways in which you cannot imagine.
Ways in which words
have not yet been invented to describe.
What is this stuff?
What does it look like?
- A list?
- That's right.
In front of you is a list of tasks
that must be completed
in order to receive a coveted spot
in this Delta pledge class.
Proof of each task completed
must be delivered to me here,
at what will serve
as my headquarters for today.
What if we don't know
what some of these things are?
I am not your teacher.
I am not your babysitter.
I am your Scav Hunt leader.
Fifteen of you stand before me.
At the end of this,
only ten of you will be offered bids.
You do what you have to do.
Resourcefulness counts,
sabotage is encouraged,
and dirt play is allowed.
Now, go.
Run.
Run!

[professor] Schopenhauer's final fold
of sufficient reason
is perhaps the greatest departure
Yes! [chuckles]
[music ends]
Hey, what the hell took so long?
Nathan's in the basement.
The guy doesn't like
any sports except swimming.
He talked about the butterfly
for like an hour.
Ah, the familiar touch of a desperate man.
Only need a minute.
It's not something to brag about.
Just say we lost the receipts.
You mean the receipts
for the money you stole?
Mmm.
Just tell him
you don't have your paperwork, okay?
No one's expecting you
to be a pillar of responsibility.
Oh, well,
I guess we'll see how the pillar crumbles.
Hey, you coming?
[chuckles]
[country music playing on speakers]
- [customer] Thank you.
- [server] You're welcome.
Here you go.
Thank you.
You sure you don't want anything?
A milk shake maybe?
No, I'm a I'm not really a sweets person.
[Caroline] Oh, I admire your willpower.
Me? I just love to indulge.
Mmm.
Anyway,
I really am sorry about all of this.
I'm usually a very attentive driver,
but, um, today was just, uh [chuckles]
I mean, I love my work, but, um
Yeah, it was a it was a tough one.
[chuckles]
What is it that you do exactly?
I investigate allegations of misconduct.
You know, things like hazing,
misuse of funds,
anything a chapter does that might not
uphold our National standards.
Oh, so you're the sorority police.
[both laugh]
Most incidents are just college girls
getting carried away,
but, um, this Manchester chapter
[sighs] Honestly, I don't know
how you deal with them every day.
Oh, the ones I'm thinking about
are pretty impressive.
Mmm. I see how they could fool you.
But behind closed doors,
I'm telling you,
these girls are the new boys.
Maybe that's a good thing.
They're using sex as a weapon
and collecting men like trophies.
One of them actually
performed fellatio on a boy
with ice in her mouth so she could take
pictures of his shriveled penis.
That is, uh, yeah, uh, quite disturbing.
You know, I heard whispers
of them seducing professors too.
You know, for grades
or just to ruin their lives for fun.
They are brutal, these girls.
But maybe they're just young, you know?
Yeah [chuckles]probably.
You sure you don't want a bite?
- Mmm.
- You know, maybe I'll have a beer.
- They serve beer here, right?
- Mmm. Mmm. Mm-hmm.
Mmm
Cherry.
- Shot.
- [sighs] Okay. Let's see.
Now, all I need is proof of number 27.
[sighs] I don't have that one.
The sun is descending in the west,
and here you stand before me,
unpierced and unproven.
Is that Is that William Blake?
Some of it. Doesn't matter.
All tasks must be completed.
No exceptions, no exemptions.
I know. It's just, it said
that we weren't allowed
to pierce ourselves
or any of the other PNMs,
- so I
- Surely you have other friends.
Not really.
I mean, not close enough to draw blood.
[CeCe] This may come as a shock to you
considering my current social standing,
but as a freshman,
I was much in the same position.
Wait, so who'd you pierce?
I paid a cafeteria worker
a very fair wage.
Poor people can always use
some extra walking-around money.
Yeah. Uh, yeah, it's just,
I can't really pay anyone
to let me do something to their body
because of, you know,
my dad's job in the country.
What about her?
It's against protocol.
Yeah, right.
She might be lying,
but I'm too afraid to ask.
Fine.
[sighs]
You're gonna let me pierce your ear?
Just make sure everything's sterilized.
I'm very prone to infection.
Not the sturdiest stock. [sighs]
- I legitimately thought you hated me.
- Why would I hate you?
All I know about you, besides the fact
that your father is the VP,
is that Caroline wants you in the house
and that you lost your virginity
- to Scott Russell.
- [scoffs] Yeah.
- A thrust is a thrust is a thrust.
- Is a thrust.
Thrust, yeah. Let's just hope that
the thrusting goes better next time.
With Lucien?
- I have satellite people.
- What?
They told me he's been holed up in your
dorm room. So I just figured, you know.
Lucien is very promiscuous.
So I've heard.
But he's actually been very sweet with me.
He brings me breakfast
and we watch X-Files and then we talk.
We've barely even kissed.
I know exactly what you mean.
- Like, exactly.
- You do?
[chuckles] There's this guy,
a professor actually
- Chadwick. You mentioned him.
- You were listening?
Mm-hmm.
Caroline doesn't like him, but she just
doesn't understand that he's the most
Well, it's kind of like you and Lucien.
Our brains are connected,
but our bodies are supposed to stay
strictly separate until after graduation.
[inhales sharply] Don't get me wrong.
Caroline's super smart, but maybe she
doesn't know everything about everything.
She doesn't want me
to be with Lucien either.
I know.
So maybe we just do it.
Really?
Yeah, just do it.
Like, right now?
- I'm I'm talking about the piercing.
- Oh, right.
- Right. For Scav Hunt. [chuckles]
- Sorry. [chuckles]
[CeCe] Just do it.
- [inhales, exhales deeply]
- Okay.
Fuck! [inhales sharply]
[knocking on door]
Yo, what the eff, dude?
The "eff" is in regards to
Regarding stealing, man. I saw the checks.
The reimbursement checks?
Reimbursement's not stealing, Scott.
It's just a way of paying someone back
for what they've already spent.
I know that. I'm not stupid.
But we paid the lei guy,
and then we paid you for the leis.
We needed a lot of leis.
It was a big luau.
A lot of money is missing, Blaise.
Like a lot, a lot.
We all know Lucien likes to spend it
on drugs and high-class hookers.
No, he's dating Annie.
[Lucien] What, for like a day and a half?
Scott, we're best friends.
Why would I lie to you?
I know how lying works, Blaise.
My dad's in Congress.
If Nationals sees how much
money's missing, that means jail.
Let's not panic. No one is going to jail.
Lucien is a terrible treasurer.
I'm sure he just messed up the books.
Well, we have a couple of days
before the report comes out.
Let me look over everything
before you jump to any conclusions.
I'm not jumping.
Does it look like I'm jumping?
You turned me into a criminal.
Relax. You are not a criminal.
Neither one of us is a criminal.
[scoffs] This is so fucking effed, man.
I'm gonna handle it.
You'll see.
What did you do? [chuckles]
Oh, the girls in the hall
were very eager to help out
after I told them you might
never make it to a real formal.
[chuckles] Oh, you did not tell them
I was dying.
I didn't specify.
Daiquiri?
Um, yeah, might as well,
given the short time I have left.
Mmm. Wow, you went all out.
Wanna put it on?
- No.
- Not fancy enough for you?
I mean, you have an entire closet full
of state dinner attire to choose from.
I don't wanna get dressed.
Okay.
I wanna have sex.
[chuckles] Wait.
- I know you're not gay.
- You know what?
I don't really like labels.
[Annie] What,
do you not want to do this with me?
I've been hitting on you
since the day I met you.
- Trust me. I do.
- Then what?
I just have this thing.
A thing like a weird mole
or a thing like an STI?
You know, I forgot to mention
I went back to the old folks' home.
Doris was giving me like a real vibe.
What? Like peeing, armpits?
[stutters] I'm not judging here,
but there are a lot of things. What is it?
It's [sighs] It's a camera thing.
Like sex tapes?
You know what, forget I mentioned it.
No, I don't want to forget it.
- I want to understand it.
- We need more daiquiris.
Or not.
Are you just not gonna tell me?
I already told you. I'm a sicko.
[Annie] I don't think that.
It's just, it would be really bad for me
and a lot of people I'm related to
if a tape of me ever got out.
It's okay. You're not into it.
- So that's Let's dance.
- No Um Okay.
I had my first kiss about, uh,
a few weeks ago
with your stepsister, actually.
Funny, she, um, never mentioned that.
- She was just being nice.
- I'm sure.
[scoffs] What I'm trying to say is,
my whole sexual experience thus far
has consisted of that kiss
and half a thrust from a very sweet guy
who had no idea that he was gay.
You know what, it's it's okay.
We don't have to rush this.
You know, we can order food
or hang out or, you know,
- I-I can go.
- No, I
I don't want you to go.
I want you to press record.
Seriously?
Yeah. Yeah, I want to see what I like.
I want to try things.
Just promise me that no one will see it.
Are you sure about this?
I trust you.
Hurry the fuck up before I change my mind.
[chuckles]
[phone beeps]
[professor stammers] Everybody, we'll just
give the stragglers a few more minutes.
You gonna take all night with that?
Sorry. [chuckles]
The only thing worse than the wine
at these things is the company.
[clicks tongue] No,
I'm having an amazing time.
- [scoffs] They're pompous pricks.
- Professor Chadwick isn't.
Ah, you must be the new TA.
Celeste Carroway. People call me CeCe.
[chuckles] Georgia.
People call me Georgia.
Can I ask?
Do you think I'm dressed appropriately?
Professor Chadwick told me to be myself,
but looking around,
that seems to have been a misstep.
If everyone could please take a seat,
we have a lot to cover.

I probably shouldn't be here
without Professor Chadwick.
Oh, no, sit. I'm sure Hank
will be here any minute.
[sighs] Okay.

I'd say I'm sorry to interrupt
[music ends]
- Shit.
- [breathes heavily]
[Lucien] It seems my timing's perfect.
- I'm sorry.
- Oh, I have no doubt you will be.
I had no idea.
He's just my brother.
- I'm gonna go.
- Bye.
Fucking the faculty, Caroline.
Is that really the best you could do?
I like to fuck people.
Oh, you certainly do.
[Caroline] Except for you, of course.
Unless you brought me something.
I didn't see anything in our shared album.
So can't declare victory without proof.
Oh, I have nothing for you.
There's no A for effort in this game.
[sighs]
I came to tell you I forfeit.
So sweet little Annie rejected you?
Ugh. God, I knew I liked that girl.
I wasn't sure she could do it,
but I gotta say I'm impressed.
It's over, Caroline.
[Caroline] So you're just giving up?
On your car?
On your one opportunity to have me?
What are you up to?
What's your game?
I told you.
I'm done playing with Annie
and everyone else.
Oh, no.
Come on, you're not that stupid.
You don't seriously think
you're in love with her
Jesus, I'd say it was adorable
if it wasn't so pathetic.
You're nothing more
than one of her little rescue dogs.
She sees you locked up in a little cage,
all sad-eyed and filthy.
So she takes you home.
And then what?
She realizes you chew the furniture
and you're not actually house-trained.
You have a, um,
remarkable sense of storytelling.
[Caroline] Annie Grover
could never love you, Lucien.
You have no idea
what you're talking about.
Sooner or later,
she's gonna see the real you.
The one I know so exceedingly well.
Oh, maybe not so well after all.
Oh, stop kidding yourself. You've never
been capable of love nor will you ever be.
Well, see, it sounds like
we're talking about you now.
We're the same, you and I.
[inhales sharply] We're not even related.
I know you, Lucien.
And I assure you that there is
nothing inside of you that's good.
That's worth of loving.
By Annie or anyone else.
You are a black hole.
There are no feelings.
You don't have feelings.
You are devoid, soulless
and so incredibly fucking stupid.
The only way you can even get off
is if you know you're doing it for me.
- Goodbye, Caroline.
- You're nothing without me.
Put some clothes on.
We're the same!
- Love doesn't exist for people like you!

Hey, Brian.
Uh, Scott actually wanted me to come
and take a look at some of the financials.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
You know, Lucien's made himself
unavailable as always.
So, if you could just point me
in the right direction.
Bullshit.
[clicks tongue] Come on.
I thought we were past
all that ugliness with your dick.
It's not ugly.
It's not about my dick.

Nothing like a good hit-and-run.

Have you seen it? Are you seeing it?
[Beatrice] It sounds
like someone wants you.
[Ella] I am so sorry, Beatrice.
Don't.
At least you look good.
I mean, the parts you can see.
It's mostly just your face.
I'm sorry.

Who was what?
- Lucien.

Uh, yeah.
I-I don't really watch that kind of stuff.

He's not a good guy.
All right.

[Lucien] This isn't
a fucking game, Caroline.
It's always been a game.
You just couldn't stand that I actually
had feelings. That I cared for her.
[Caroline] I bet she would
just love to hear your explanation.
I know how to hurt you too.
I just don't want you
