Sweet/Vicious (2016) s01e08 Episode Script

1 Previously on "Sweet/Vicious" I don't think that it's working.
I can't do this anymore.
But I had a change of heart.
Tell me more about what you found.
Mom, I told you I haven't heard from Carter in weeks.
I need to file a Missing Persons Report.
I think that I was sexually assaulted.
- He's my best friend's boyfriend.
- Oh, I see.
There's something I need to tell you.
I just wanted you to tell me what was going on and you lied, so why should I believe you now? - What exactly did he tell you? - He told me enough.
You're drunk in a men's bathroom waiting to knife the most public person on campus.
It's the only way that I can get better.
You need to talk about what happened to you.
Are you finally ready to share? [dramatic music.]
["Blood in the Cut" by K.
Flay playing.]
I need noise I need the buzz of a sub Need the crack of a whip Need some blood in the cut I need noise I need the buzz of a sub Need the crack of a whip - Are you sure this will work? - Positive.
It's his hit list.
All he has to do is see the name.
Blood in the cut I need blood in the cut I need blood in the cut Blood in the cut Oop.
Seriously? You guys haven't done it yet? Oh, we have.
This is round three? Yeah.
- Evan! - What? What? Oh, come on.
I'm not ashamed.
The human body is a beautiful thing.
- Go put on your pants.
- Okay.
It's nice to see you on the up and up.
Support group has made a huge difference.
- I feel so much better.
- Yeah? - Have any Zetas been in touch? - No, but it's fine.
Whatever.
I can deal with it.
They remind me of stuff I don't want to remember, so it feels good to start fresh.
Well, I have some fun news for you.
I checked the video feed for the wall.
Sorry.
Mm.
Things got pretty weird this morning.
Snack.
All righty.
Muah! Bye.
How's this gonna work? You're gonna be a girlfriend and a vigilante? Hey, you did it.
Yeah, and how did that work out? Fair.
Look, I'm just doing double duty, girlfriending in the day time, vigilante'ing at night, unless I come home from vigilante'ing and I want to do some girlfriending.
The point is he's not clingy, and he doesn't ask a lot of questions, so can I please show you this now? There is a new name on the wall.
"Brady Teller.
" Looks like we got our next target.
I've got a lot to go over with you.
This one's special.
So tell me more about this guy.
Well, he's a real fart knocker, also rapist, mostly rapist.
Um, this was a really strong case, but it got dismissed by the school.
- Classic President Mays.
- Mm.
He assaulted an international student at a party at his fraternity house.
They threw out the case because the reporting party contacted Brady so many times post-incident.
- Reporting party? - Yeah.
The girl, Cindy, she's the reporting party.
The bracelet she was wearing snapped off her wrist.
She wanted it back, so she texted Brady about it, but ultimately that was used against her when they did the investigation.
So there are multiple witnesses who saw him feeding her drinks and making her do shot races.
They all saw her go up to his room completely incapacitated.
Brady is exactly the kind of rapist the vigilante's gonna go after.
So we're gonna be protecting a rapist, Barton? Well, yes, but only until he leads us to the vigilante.
Then I'm gonna make sure Cindy is vindicated.
Really? More flowers from Nate? If he sends one more bouquet, I'm gonna have a nervy b-down.
He's been there since 6:00 a.
m.
I told him to go home, but he refused to leave.
Okay.
I'll handle it.
I told you I needed time.
You can't just keep showing up here.
I know.
I just need five minutes, and then I promise I'll leave.
No.
I can't.
Not right now.
- Please, I made a mistake.
- A mistake? Nate, a mistake is forgetting to get me a birthday present.
You slept with my best friend and she's saying that you She's saying that I what? She said you raped her.
That's insane.
I would never do that to her or anybody.
You know that.
You know me.
But do you know Jules? Uh, what is that supposed to mean? Look, I know how hard this must be for you, but you said it yourself.
She has been lying to you all semester.
She told you that story because she isn't brave enough to own up to what we did.
If you still love me, we We can get through this.
Do you? I I don't I don't know.
Okay, I I have to go, and and you need to go.
Go home.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, hello there.
It's nice to see your face detached from Evan's.
You know, all we do is hang, have sex, and play video games.
It's the best.
I can't believe I used to knock relationships.
I know.
I know.
We were so bitter.
It's probably because we were alone.
Fiona is amazing.
She really opens my mind.
Plus, she has this swing.
It just - Nope.
No thank you.
- She ride No, I can't deal with this imagery.
- You ready to go? - Oh, yeah.
Muah! I'll be right back.
Go get my stuff.
Are you guys coming to the Bacchanal tomorrow night? - What now? - The Bacchanal.
It's the best night of the year.
The theme is Greek.
- How very on the nose.
- You guys should come.
All of the fraternities open their doors.
- All the frats are open? - No, thank you.
I cannot go to an undergrad party.
I'm happy you want an old, distinguished gentleman such as myself by your side, but I can't.
My reputation would suffer.
Ah, yes, your esteemed reputation as Harris James, important law student with much better things to do and a cat allergy.
Cats are garbage.
We know this.
Well, yeah.
Well, you're not allergic to all cats.
Mm.
- Meow.
- Yeah, I'm upset.
It's an upsetting thing to see.
Brady, you're in grave danger.
Because you're an accused rapist, it's likely you'll be the target of a vigilante attack on campus just like Tommy Cope and Will Powell.
- I need to go to the cops.
- That won't be necessary.
These young women are totally out of control with their accusations, dragging innocent young men such as yourself under the bus.
I mean, if you go to the cops, who knows what they're gonna do for you? You don't want to unearth this unfounded charge again, do you? No.
I guess no.
I'm here to help.
As a member of the Darlington Police Force, I can offer you protection.
A small team will be trailing you 24-7.
Okay.
Sounds good.
And keep this to yourself.
Telling anyone about this could jeopardize the entire operation.
You know, if word gets out, I won't be able to contain and expose the vigilante.
Okay.
Oh! So hot! Hot.
Hot-hot-hot-hot.
Oh, my God, it's so hot.
[line trilling.]
- Yo, dude.
- What's up? Have you heard of the Bacchanal? Yeah, of course.
It's the biggest Greek party of the year.
Well, I think we should take down Brady during the party at his frat.
I've been reading his emails.
Check this.
"These freshy hoes gonna get mad drunk on the jungle juice.
"Let's make sure to make it extra strong this year.
Time to get our Ds wet.
" It's disgusting.
Look, I know the party is super-public No, I love it.
Sounds good.
I got to go.
I'm walking into support group.
That's my girl.
[tense rock music.]
[dramatic music.]
[sighs.]
Hey, Brady, did you get the kegs? Yeah, hold up.
I'll be right there.
[hip-hop music downstairs.]
[line trilling.]
Go for Barton.
Dude, I think someone was just in my room.
I knew it.
It's all happening.
This is great.
I mean, I'll be there as soon as I can.
As soon as you can? I thought you were tailing me.
What if he comes at me while you're scratching your balls on the other side of campus, huh? By the time I call you and wait for your fat ass to get over here, I could be dead.
I can correct this.
Pizza place.
Tomorrow.
12:30.
[phone beeps.]
- Hey.
- Hi.
- Is Jules around? - Uh, no.
Jules doesn't live here any more.
She didn't tell you? We're not really talking right now.
Oh.
We broke up a few weeks ago.
She didn't tell you? Oh.
Weird.
Why'd she leave? You'd have to ask her that.
Do you know where I can find her? No, I don't.
Okay.
Well, look, if you see Jules, can you just tell her that I I'm not gonna see her, okay? I'm sorry.
I got to go.
Man even in a fictional world, I am victorious.
Uh-huh.
Ooh, hello.
- What are you doing tonight? - Ooh, turtle time.
Ooh, I'm covering the freshman field trip, and they want to go to the New England Aquarium.
Apparently the turtles are in heat.
Oh.
Oh, but that's such a bummer.
I was gonna ask if you wanted to go to the Bacchanal with me, but you know, turtles.
Wait, you're going to a party on Greek Row on purpose? Yeah, it's a social experiment.
I want to see how long I can be around frat bros before I try and kill myself.
Oh, well, I'm sorry I have to miss it.
Yeah.
Well, you know what they say, "Horny turtles ruin everything.
" Yeah, I think my grandma has that embroidered on a pillow.
- Mm-hmm.
- Come on, ride? Three-pointer.
Kobe.
What the [bleep.]
is this? It was my mom's I've-fallen-and-I-can't-get-up button to use in case of emergencies, but then she started pressing it whenever she wanted me to massage her feet, so now it's yours.
- A panic button.
Cool.
- If you're attacked, just press this button and I'll be alerted of your exact location.
And you aren't gonna mess it up this time? No, I'm not gonna mess it up this time.
Sick.
Thanks, man.
[silently.]
The whole week is gonna be out of control.
- I know.
I know.
- I am so psyched for Bacchanal.
Did you get Kennedy to change her mind? No.
I mean, how's it gonna look if I show up to the party without her? She's being ridiculous.
Say no more, okay? You know how I'm the king of romantic comedies? Do I know that? Listen, man, being a lover of the genre has gotten me more ass than you could ever imagine.
One "Love Actually" quote and girls are sliding off their panties.
Please don't make me watch "Love Actually.
" Just listen to what I say, okay? I'm gonna help you get Kennedy back, and then we will have the sickest Bacchanal ever.
Look, I just want some answers, Veach.
I know, man, but this is the sixth time that you've asked me in two days.
Look, you just filed Carter's Missing Persons Report last week.
Can you just give me some thing to Tyler, just hang tight, okay? If we find any thing, I will give you a call.
Oh, my gosh.
I'm so sorry.
No worries, babe.
Oh, cute costume.
Uh, these are my pajamas.
I'm not going tonight.
Ugh.
I hate you, and I love you.
Are you sure you don't want to come? Yeah, I think a night on the couch with some "Pretty Woman" is way more my speed.
Now, you guys be safe, okay? - Okay.
Bye.
- Good night.
Call us if you need some thing.
Yep.
[doorbell rings.]
[sighs.]
MacKenzie, I promise I am fine.
- What what are you doing? - ["Silent Night" playing.]
- All is calm - No one can hear the music.
I'm wearing headphones.
No, I'm doing a I'm doing a thing.
Round young virgin Miles, she doesn't get it.
You're money, baby.
Keep going.
- She loves it.
- Okay.
Holy infant so tender and mild Oh.
Oh, God, no.
W Why? Yeah, I know it's a weird part of the movie too.
[Lisa Loeb's "Stay (I Missed You)".]
You say I talk so all the time Miles got really in to this.
It's okay, dude.
- God, what is this song? - I have no idea.

" Yeah, yeah, I missed you And you say I only hear what I want to I don't listen hard, I don't pay attention I love you so much.
I'm so sorry that I hurt you.
If you really care I'm only hearing negative, no, no, no Would you please do me the honor of accompanying me to the Bacchanal? So I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up And this woman was singing my song Wow, Jules, you look like someone else.
Can you excuse us for a second? What's happening? Did a Sephora explode on your face? I'm I'm Brady bait.
I'll pretend to be wasted at the party, and then I'll tell him to meet me upstairs, and then you and I will get changed in the bathroom next to his room, and we'll take him down.
Wait, how do you know there's a bathroom next to his room? I mean on his floor.
Come on, we don't want to be late.
Oh, great.
Oh, I made it just in time.
Um, what what are you doing here? What happened to the turtles? Oh, no, I got another RA to cover for me so I could go with you.

He wouldn't listen.

We are all set.
Tonight is gonna be great.
[upbeat rock music.]

I thought maybe she'd be with Ophelia.
You just missed her.
They went to the Bacchanal.
Damn it.
I really want to get her back.
We're going to the Bacchanal, and you can win Jules back.
Yeah.

With your body on the dance floor.
Or with words in a quiet hallway.
Perfect.
Yeah.

No.
This is not what we do.
Look at your face.
You're just covered in his blood.
You know what? Maybe if you actually went to support group This is the only way that I feel alive.
This this is the only way that we stop him from turning girls into me.
You think that you can just hide behind that mask and everything's okay? You have to deal with what happened to you.
And if support group doesn't help, fine, but just you have to do something.
Look at him.
Look at his face.
This is not you.
This is not what we're trying to do.
This darkness that's inside of you is just gonna grow bigger and stronger, and then what? And what's next, huh? You beat someone to death? I wish I could fix you.
I wish I could take away your pain and reverse everything that happened to you, but I can't.
But I can tell you that I'm scared, and I just want you to be better, but I can't be the one that heals you, okay, and for that, I'm sorry.
Yeah, well, you want to fix me? That's so sweet.
Poor little rich girl runs to my aid to fix me.
I don't need you, Ophelia.
I never did.
You invaded my life like a disease, and you make mistake after mistake, and you want to know why? Take a guess.
'Cause you told me that first night at Beans, remember? Because you are a mistake.
Comes out of me We have got the power of destruction You want to be angry and alone? Fine.
But I'm not gonna let you ruin my fun.
It's too goddamn hard I'm like porcelain Help.

Lambda Tau.
A kid's been beaten up.
Just about a million ways I'm like porcelain I'm like porcelain [groans.]
Fudge nipples.

Fun night? I have no idea who that is.
I just passed out.
Nothing happened.
So uh, Jules is staying with you? - Yeah.
- Is everything okay? I think that's a question for Jules.
Huh.
You, um, have a I don't want to touch it, but there's a condom in your hair.
- Yep.

Oh.
Mm.
[door slams.]
Jules? Great.
Student has become the master.
[knock at door.]
Jules is gone.
Uh, what? Ghosted.
Vanished.
She found a port key.
I've looked everywhere for her, and she's gone.
She told you the truth, and you you looked the other way.
Okay, you actually have no idea what you're talking about.
No, I know that you know what happened between Nate and Jules.
You saw the change in her after that night.
Somewhere deep down beneath the Yas Girls and the Zeta realness, you know the truth, and it terrifies you.
Well, it's high time that you grow some balls and do the right thing.
She's not well, and you are the only person who can help her now.
What's up? Did you find something? No, not yet, but I ran another trace on those text messages.
You were right.
There's definitely something off about them, and the jump from Darlington to Canada, the the radio silence in between without any contact to any cell tower I'm gonna push Ballard again, okay? It's just it's hard to get the boys to rally behind this, because Carter is Hey, I know, but he's still my brother.
I know.
I'm working on it, man.
I promise.
All right, well, thanks for the heads-up, and can you just if you find anything, will you let me know? Look, man, I've already let you in on more than I should.
I got to go.
[sighs.]
[line trilling.]
Hey, Jules.
Look, I just wanted to apologize for last night.
Things are really bad with Carter.
And if you don't want to talk to me again, I understand, but if you can Forget it.
Never mind.
Sorry to bother you.
[phone chimes.]
Ophelia, where are you? [laughs.]
You know, I've never met someone who made it this hard to be mad at them.
I will take that as a compliment if you take my apology for being a dick at Bacchanal.
Look, I'm into you an embarrassing amount, and I really messed up, and I'm sorry, and I'm still learning how to be a good girlfriend just like you're still learning how to be good at video games.
[laughs.]
Well, apology not 'Cause darling if you call me I'll come running Try and stop me Turn out all the lights in the dead of night, 'cause ["To the Hilt" by BANKS playing.]
Kennedy, come here.
Come lay with me.

We believed in everything You know I'd never lie to you.
Yeah, I know.
All those times you'd warm my hands Maybe things weren't easy as they seem Oh, man, I got so much to look forward to.
The big game and then the formal.
We backed each other to the hilt Nate, stop.

Grilled cheese with tomatoes.
I also have hot sauce in my bag.
Both: Swag.
[laughs.]
I'm so sorry, Jules.
For everything, for not seeing exactly what was going on with you, for not believing you when you told me the truth.
I I've been thinking a lot about this, and I realized that some part of me, um Always knew what he really did to you, so but I just wasn't ready to face it.
[sniffles.]
I can't I can't imagine what you've been through and the fact that you had to go through that alone.
- I wasn't really alone.
- But I should've been there.
You're here now.
[gentle instrumental music.]
[both crying.]
You have to report this, Jules.
He can't just get away with this.
You have to tell the school.
I tried.
They don't want to help me.
It's Nate, Kennedy he's "Mr.
Darlington.
" No.
No.
Absolutely not, okay? You deserve to be heard And you will be heard.
The school can't just hide their heads in the sand.
You're a person.
