Tell Me Lies (2022) s02e04 Episode Script
Just Stable Children
1
[DIANA] Last night was fucked up.
We don't have to be friends for me
to make sure you're okay.
You're not the kind of girl
who goes and checks on other girls.
You're kind of brutal with other girls.
Pippa! Out of the line!
I didn't know that
the team was doing that,
and I shoulda said something,
but I didn't.
- So I'm sorry.
- Thank you.
- Bree broke up with me.
- Oh, my God.
- What? Why?
- Because I cheated on her.
Who's the girl?
I don't know, just some random girl.
I was drunk.
[OLIVER] I love my wife,
and I'm not gonna leave her.
We can't do this if it's gonna hurt you.
You can't talk to anyone else about us.
[HEAVY BREATHING]
- Is this okay?
- Yes.
[LEO]
I get really angry sometimes,
and I don't want it to keep on happening.
So, if I keep hanging out with you,
you're not gonna, like,
- be awful to me, are you?
- No, I'm not.
[DIANA'S DAD] Everyone at the firm
had positive feedback,
but none of that matters
unless you ace the LSAT.
Stephen was in the car
with Macy when she died.
You don't believe me.
- [HORN BLARES]
- Watch out!
- [MACY SCREAMS]
- [GASPS]

I'm sorry, Ms. Jackson, ooh! ♪

Never meant to make your daughter cry ♪
I apologize a trillion times ♪
- [WRIGLEY] Stephen.
- Sorry, Ms. Jackson, ooh! ♪
- Stephen!
- I am for real ♪
Yes or no?
You wanna drive to Five Guys
before we head back to campus?
How are you still hungry?
You ate everything in my fridge.
I have eaten Five Guys
every day this week.
I don't wanna break my winning streak.
- That's not good.
- I need to get back to campus, okay?
I have my seminar, and I need to get
some studying in before before that.
Be quiet.
Private school, daycare,
shit medical bills, I pay that ♪
I got less than 48 hours before the rest
of my life is decided, okay?
[WRIGLEY] I cannot wait for you to get
these fucking LSATs over with.
You're making everyone less fun.
LSAT. It's LSAT, not plural.
And if I don't get above a 170,
I might as well not even
come back next semester, so.
[EVAN] Dude, you'll be fine.
I can take it at this point
as much as you talk about it.
I'm kind of wantin' you to fail.
Can you imagine how annoying he'll be
if he actually gets into Yale?
[BOTH LAUGH]
- [STEPHEN] Oh, my God!
- [HORN BLARING]
- [TIRES SCREECH]
- Fuck!
[DIRT SCRAPING]
[LAUGHS]
[EVAN] Stephen, you okay?
- [SHIFTING GEAR]
- Yeah, fine, fine.
Fuckin' guy's an idiot, man.
♪
[PROFESSOR] I want you to think about
the worst thing you've ever done.
Raise your hand if you know what that is.
Mm.
Great.
Raise your hand if you want
to be remembered forever
for who you were on that day.
Hm The 8th Amendment.
It's in place to protect
criminal defendants
from unduly harsh sentencing,
but what about after
the sentence is served?
Where does constitutional clemency
play into the fact
that a guilty sentence
is never really gone?
It stays with convicted criminals
for the rest of their lives.
At every turn,
the mark is there. Indelible.
You okay?
Yeah. LSAT's in two days.
I feel like anything besides
studying is a waste of time.
So, you really don't know the worst thing
you've ever done?
You didn't raise your hand.
I guess the worst thing
I've ever done is cheat on you.
And I would never do anything
to hurt you like that again.
You really feel like that
was your biggest mistake?
You tell me.
You know me better than anyone.
I guess that's true.
[MUSIC BUILDING]
[HEAVY BREATHING]
- I want you so bad.
- [LUCY] I know.
You really don't mind waiting?
[LEO] Stop worrying.
[PANTING]
I'm loving this.
[LUCY MOANS]
[MOANS]
Does that feel good?
Oh, yeah.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
[PANTING]
I like these freckles.
They're in their own little pattern.
I think of them more as sun damage.
[BOTH LAUGH]
Nope. No, these are definitely freckles.
What's the difference?
Mm, freckles are cuter.
[SIGHS]
- No, no, no, no, no.
- [GROANS, GIGGLES]
[SIGHS]
[GIGGLES]
I thought you said you had to get going?
I do. I just never get enough of you.
Mmm
[SNIFFLES, SIGHS]
What's it like having
this much power over someone?
Yeah, right.
I don't have power over anyone.
You have a grown man risking
his entire life just to be close to you.
What is that if not power?
Now, what is your ex again? 22?
- 21. [GIGGLES]
- [OLIVER] Oof.
Poor guy.
No, he definitely had the power.
I mean, I had to wait, like,
four months for him to even notice me.
I doubt that's true.
He didn't.
My friends had to intervene finally.
We were playing this drinking game,
and they knew I had a crush on him,
so they kept changing the rules,
so I had to keep kissing him all night.
In front of everyone.
That's a bit fucked up, isn't it?
I mean, yeah, it was annoying,
but they were trying to be helpful.
By forcing him to make a move
he wouldn't have made on his own?
That's kinda setting you up
for disappointment.
I never thought about it that way.
I guess you're right.
I kind of
tricked him into liking me.
I think
growing up,
I got used to not feeling wanted.
You
are very wanted.
You have made that clear.
Good.
You're also too tolerant.
What do you mean?
S-Some of the stories you've told me.
Your ex-boyfriend, your friends.
It just sounds like you put up with a lot.
I'm guessing you're normally the one
biting your tongue,
trying to keep the peace.
I am.
Well, you know it's okay to tell people
to fuck off once in a while.
Including your friends.
[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]
[BOTH LAUGH]
Wrigley! Hey!
- Oh. Hey.
- [LAUGH, PATS BACK]
- Hey, Raul. Uh, good to see you.
- Good to see you.
Uh, sounds like you've been working hard.
Yeah yeah, m-my dad my dad was,
uh, really bummed
that you couldn't make it to
the breakfast this morning,
but I told him how busy you were
Uh, oh! Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Uh, I'm so sorry, you know.
It's, uh, been, uh,
- super busy.
- [RAUL] It's okay.
Yeah, Dad, we should probably get going
'cause I have class
So, uh, wh-what are you thinking
for next year? Any plans?
Um
Uh, yeah, I'm gonna,
um, study for the LSAT.
You know, I'm thinking
law school next year.
Uh
Gonna be a-a lawyer.
A student. Gonna go to,
- you know, go to law school.
- Wow!
- Good for you!
- Wow.
- Well, I should hit the road.
- Okay, alright. Oh
Hey. Take care of this one for me, okay?
Hopefully, I'll see you over the holidays.
Hope so.
- Bye. Bye.
- Bye.
[PIPPA] Thank you so much.
- I'm so, so sorry.
- What just happened?
I just couldn't tell him we broke up.
I
He's always so worried about me,
and he really liked that
I was dating somebody like you.
- Someone like me?
- Yeah, you know, like
captain of the football team and
Yeah, I know this is really weird of me,
but, um, don't worry.
I will tell him Okay.
Hey, no. It's fine.
I don't wanna break the guy's heart.
I love Raul.
[SCOFFS] Okay
Alright, well, I have class, so
Yeah, but thank you.
♪
[SOFT LAUGHTER]
- Alright.
- [LUCY GIGGLES]
Are you sure you don't
wanna go for breakfast?
No, I have to wash my hair before class
because this is
- Mm-mmm.
- You can wear a hat.
Or shave your head.
Oh, so you admit that there's a problem?
Yeah, it's a mess.
But the good news is
it's attached to all this.
Stop Well, I don't have a hat, so.
Do you have a razor?
[LAUGHS]
- Bye.
- Bye.
[MARIANNE] So, the writer
isn't relying on definitions.
She uses th-the phonetic, the sound
to guide her meaning
when she slips into another language.
Do any examples stand out?
- Yes, Caitie?
- [CAITIE] On page seven.
Frystingu.
It feels like it means cold, shivering.
Exactly.
So the sound of a word can transport us
just by being there,
and it's true of all languages.
For instance, if I say in Italian
[SIGHS] Testa di cazzo!
Right?
You don't need to look it up to know
that I'm not paying anyone a compliment.
Does anyone know what it means?
No?
- It means dickhead. Roughly.
- [LAUGHS]
Well, I can see
the suspense is killing you,
so I have your papers.
- Really good job, Lucy.
- Thank you.
This felt a little bit undercooked, Bree.
- [KNOCKING ON DOOR]
- Yeah?
Hey, sorry to interrupt.
Hey, honey.
This is my husband, Oliver,
for those of you who didn't
meet him at the reading.
[LAUGHS]
It's very, very nice to meet you all.
I look forward to my wife talking
about you behind your backs.
- I've gotta go, I'm late.
- Okay. Oh, wait.
- Okay.
- [LAUGHS]
Well, I guess that's all for today
and I'll see you on Monday.
Have a great weekend.
Uh, Lucy? I have some more pages
for you to type up
if you wanna grab them later.
- Yeah, yeah, of course.
- Okay. Bon weekend.
[GRABS KEYS]
Hey! Hey, Bree.
Bree, hey.
Oh, hey.
Sorry, I-I
I didn't see you.
Oh, yeah, no, that's cool. Um
How have you been?
I haven't seen you around.
I-I've been busy.
Right. Okay, yeah. Uh, well, I'll
- S-See you around.
- [FOOTSTEPS DEPARTING]
Hey, what's the deal with Marianne?
What do you mean?
I mean, you think so highly of her.
I'm just wondering why.
[LUCY] I don't know. She's so
sure of herself, and she's really smart.
She also looks like a Bond girl,
so that doesn't hurt. [LAUGHS]
Is she a good writer?
Yeah, she's really talented.
Surprised she gave me a B.
Bree, that's not bad.
I just wonder what
she didn't like about it.
I really wouldn't take
any of it personally.
I'm not.
You should just meet
with her one-on-one,
ask to talk through your work.
I'm sure she'd appreciate
the extra effort.
That's a good idea.
- Yeah.
- [PIPPA] Hello!
- [LUCY] Hey.
- What's up?
- How was your dad?
- He was good. He was fine.
Um, how was your date with Leo?
It was cute.
Yeah, we had a little sleepover.
- Didn't fuck him.
- Still? Why are you torturing him?
I don't know.
I just I don't feel ready.
I, like, I wanna have sex
with him so badly.
Like, so badly. I just
I am not ready for that chemical
to infiltrate my brain
and make me fucking crazy.
I acted so stupid
last time it happened, so
It's funny, though.
I, like, really like sleeping next to him.
Like, I literally sleep better.
That must mean something.
[PIPPA] Yeah.
I know what you mean.
I told him I make
every guy wait this long.
- [LAUGHS]
- You're such a lying slut.
That's what you are.
It's the only word for it.
- But
- It's true!
Look at us virgins.
Not a single one of us is getting laid.
Leo and I do other stuff.
- Ew. [LAUGHS]
- Ew.
That reminds me of high school.
"Everything but."
There is no way you did
"everything but" in high school.
I mean, there's no way you even touched
a dick before you got to this campus.
Tell me I'm lying.
You don't always have to have
an opinion about everyone, Pippa.
I d I don't. I

neither of which could be increased?
SO, A: BH; B: HL; C: BL
BL.
I-I wasn't even done reading the options.
How are you so good at logic games?
- [GIGGLES] Do you want me to quiz you?
- In a little bit.
I wanna go over the arguments
and explanations right now.
Okay. [SIGHS]
Hey, man. Can I ask your
opinion about something?
Sure, yeah.
After I graduate,
what do you think I should do?
Uh, well, that's kind of a big question.
Yeah, I'm realizing I might not
have thought about it enough.
Well, you are definitely a people person.
Mm.
There's lots of jobs in, uh, sales?
Guys like you do great.
How do I get one of those jobs?
- Do you have a resumé?
- [FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]
Bree wishes I was fuckin' dead.
I ran into her,
and she looked right through me.
And you know what? It's bullshit!
I'm not excusing what I did,
but it was one bad thing.
Right? So, because I have one fuck-up,
all of a sudden, I'm unforgivable?
I mean, look at Stephen.
How many times has Stephen fucked up?
[SCOFFS]
How dare you speak ill
of this pristine member of society?
But she looked good, man.
I mean, hateful
- but good.
- [WRIGLEY] Mm.
Mm, I miss her.
Evan, you can do so much better than her.
Everyone knows it.
Yeah, yeah. You know, Bree is not
a very good person.
Hm?
Diana! A little input here.
Well, I think Bree is fine
but I'd rather not talk
about anything adjacent
to that group of girls
and their psychotic blonde leader.
Who is, uh, who is their psychotic leader?
- Is it Is it, uh, Lucy?
- Yes.
You know what?
I think you need to, uh
fuck someone new.
And you should take him out
tonight.
[WRIGLEY]
No, I-I'm not gonna go out tonight.
I think I'm gonna
stay in and work on my, uh, resumé.
[LAUGHS] Your resumé?
A-Are you okay?
Come on, help him out! Come on!
Well
Wrigley.
Well, I guess you do need
the hunt.
Yeah. Yeah, you're right, I do.
I do need the hunt.
The hunt has called us!
And no man can refuse the call!
You should call some of your hot friends
and set him up with someone.
Which one of my friends specifically
do you find so hot?
No, just, I don't want the sophomore girls
hanging around again.
Well, Stephen and I have to stay in,
but I know some of my friends
are going to McKinley's tonight.
[SINGS OPERATIC NOTE]
We're going to McKinley's!
And the hunt is on!
Hi.
Bree.
I was wondering if you had time
to discuss my paper.
Uh, sure. Not now.
Um come on in, Bree.
[SIGHS] Just take a look
at my schedule here.
Uh
Let's see.
- [FLIPPING PAGES]
- What about on Monday?
- Monday?
- Yeah.
I could do after 4 p.m.
I could do sooner, though.
[LAUGHS] It's Friday afternoon.
I don't do office hours on the weekend.
[SIGHS] Right, sorry.
Listen, Bree, you don't really have
to worry about the paper.
Those writing assignments are just
a portion of your grade.
Well, I know,
but I need to keep my GPA up.
I'm on scholarship.
And, regardless,
I think it would be helpful
for me to understand why you thought
it only deserved a B.
Sure.
We can definitely discuss it on Monday.
- 4:30 will work?
- That works.
Where in Italy are you from?
[INHALES]
I'm from Rome.
Wow.
- Where are you from?
- New Jersey.
- It's not as fancy.
- [SOFT LAUGH]
Not all of Rome is fancy.
[SOFT LAUGH] Right.
Are you enjoying my class?
I am, yeah.
You hesitated.
What parts don't you enjoy?
Well, sometimes it seems
like people are using it
as their own personal therapy.
Some do.
Is that a bad thing?
It's not bad. It's just
most of them haven't had anything
happen to them
outside of their families
being slightly dysfunctional,
and I just think
anyone going home
to someone who really cares about them
shouldn't have much to complain about.
[SOFT LAUGH]
So you are bothered by self-indulgence.
I'm bothered by people who don't know
how good they have it.
You never really know
someone else's life, Bree.
I mean, I can look at you and see
a beautiful young girl who's so young
she doesn't even know how lucky
she is to be young.
And I could assume you
you've been blissfully ignorant
about everything really painful,
simply because of how many years
you've been on the planet.
But I would be wrong in those
assumptions, wouldn't I?
Yes.
So, you might be wrong
about other people, too.
[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]
You shouldn't let your misfortunes
compromise your compassion, Bree.
I'll see you on Monday.
And by the way,
after we go through your paper together,
we can think how to change your grade.
[SIGHS]
I really don't want you
to stress over this, okay?
Thank you. That's
That's really nice of you.
- [POOL HALL CHATTER]
- [LUCY LAUGHS]
You are not helping me at all.
- I know. I'm terrible at pool.
- At all! [GIGGLES]
- [QUIET ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
- [BOTH LAUGH]
Oh, Ev! Evan!
- That was weird, huh?
- Wait, help me help me aim again.
- Oh, you want me to help you?
- I need an excuse to rub my ass on you.
Leo? Hey.
Hey.
How are you?
Good. We're having a fundraiser
at the house tomorrow,
- if you're free.
- Uh, yeah, sure.
Maybe. Thanks.
Alright.
Who was that?
- Uh, that's Becca. She's in my year.
- Mm.
We dated for a minute in
our sophomore year, but nothing serious.
Oh. [GIGGLES]
Why didn't you introduce me?
It was like a 10-second interaction.
Awkward.
- I-I don't know.
- Yeah.
- What?
- Wh-What?
- You have exes!
- I know.
- Okay. Mm-hmm.
- I do.
- So, do you wanna dry hump me again?
- [LAUGHS]
Hey.
Can you take me home?
Sure.
Uh, five shots of Patrón.
Summon the hounds, single Evan!
Summon the hounds!
So, do we like these girls?
Does it matter?
You gotta rebound sometime.
I actually had a weird run-in
with Pippa today. It was kind of funny.
No, we're not talking about exes.
Rebounding?
I mean, I've been rebounding
every weekend since June,
so we're not really
in the same boat, but okay.
Are you okay though?
I guess, yeah.
Alright, let's do this.
Hey, you ever try Patrón?
Do you only date freshmen?
It was one freshman, alright? Once.
Never again.
To those of legal drinking age!
- Here, here.
- [EVAN] Here, here.
[SNORTS, SPITS]
Oh, my God, did that just
come through your nose?
Fuck! Fuck, it hurt.
C-Can we have another water, please?
- There you go.
- Thank you.
I hope we can look past
this unfortunate incident.
Yeah, well, it was extremely cute.
You definitely need another one.

I don't wanna wait anymore.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
[HEAVY BREATHING]
You know I'm on the pill, right?
Mm-hmm. Yeah, I think you mentioned it.
[HEAVY BREATHING]
So are you sleeping with other people?
What?
It's fine.
It Y-You just wouldn't
be getting a condom
if you weren't fucking other people.
I-I'm getting it because
it's our first time
and I didn't wanna make you tell me
to go put one one.
Yeah, no, w-we don't
we don't have to talk about it.
We haven't had that talk yet.
You're not
You're not breaking any rules.
Am I fucking other people?
When would I even be doing that?
I see you every day.
So you just don't have time
to fuck other people.
[SIGHS] Well, that's not what I said.
Look, I-I know how guys are. It's okay.
No, d-don't do that.
- Do what?
- D-Don't
Don't lump me in with other guys.
Leo, you have a collection
of condoms by your bed,
and you were just really weird
in front of your ex tonight.
And you've never mentioned her to me.
Because she's not important.
Okay.
It's not because you're just trying
to keep your options open?
What the fuck?
What are you talking about?
I have not even thought about Becca
in over a year.
Okay, okay.
[LEO] She fucked someone else
when we were dating,
and so we broke up.
There, that's it.
That's the, uh, that's the story.
- She cheated on you?
- Who cares? It was ages ago.
You said that I'm being weird?
You're the one that's
being weird right now.
Are you actually mad at me right now?
Hey.
It's okay to be mad.
You don't have to be so nice.
[PANTING]
Wait, what?
I'm just saying angry sex is okay.
W-Wait, are you getting turned on by this?
Are you starting a fight with me to, what?
What? No. No, that's not that's
You made such a huge deal
about waiting until it felt right.
I was just trying to make things better.
I'm sor [SCOFFS] I just, I'm not, like,
- turned on by drama.
- Neither am I!
Okay. D-Do you want me to go?
[LEO] No.
I just don't think the first time
that we have sex, we should be fighting.
I'm gonna I'm just gonna go.
No, you don't have to leave.
It's fine. I-I, uh
just wanna sleep in my own bed, I think.
Alright.
[SOFT R&B MUSIC PLAYING]
Oh, and just for the record,
I don't want you to go.
[LUCY] I know.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
[SOFT VOCALIZING]
You know, I think it's crazy.
We've never talked, but we've known
each other since freshman year.
You always had a girlfriend.
- Are we being drunk honest?
- [EVAN] Yeah.
Yeah, let's be drunk honest.
I I thought you were cute
since sophomore year,
but now you're finally single,
and I shot out tequila through my nose.

If I go home with you tonight,
you're not gonna, like,
disappear on me, right?

What about Marianne?
Honestly, up until I saw
them together yesterday,
I could kind of just
pretend like his life with her wasn't
real.
I know that sounds bad.
That's why
That's why you asked me about her.
I just wanted to know what she was like.
And I was hoping that she was terrible.
But she isn't.
Is she?
No. No, she's not.
Do you think I'm awful?
No, Bree, of course not.
I-If anybody awful, it's him.
He's the fucking married one.
He's not awful.
I just I-I really don't
want you to get hurt. That's
I mean, he came into our class yesterday.
H-He didn't know that it was my class.
Still, that's

That's crazy.
I know he cares about me.
And right now, this is something
I feel like I just have to do.
I can't explain it.
I mean
Everything that happened with Evan,
was so sad, and
this feels
special?
I'm not judging you.

He is. Thank you. He really is.
Just please make sure
you're taking care of yourself, okay?

[DOCTOR] Everything looks normal.
Based on your symptoms,
all signs point to a panic attack.
N-No, that doesn't, uh, happen to me.
[DOCTOR] Well, these things can
happen out of nowhere.
I mean, oftentimes, it's subconscious.
Now, the only unusual thing that came up
is this rib right here.
Looks like a previous injury.
A small fracture. Right here,
do you know where that's from?
The funny thing about broken bones
is sometimes they don't even bruise,
so people don't realize
there's a fracture.
It could be from sports, a fall
a car wreck. Based on the placement,
it could be from the impact
of a steering wheel.
No. Nothing like that.
[DOCTOR]
You might've had some difficulties
taking deep breaths for a while,
but ribs heal on their own,
and your lungs sound fine.

How are you?
Good. We're having a fundraiser

- Uh, yeah, sure.
Maybe. Thanks.
Alright.
Who was that?
- Uh, that's Becca. She's in my year.
- Mm.
We dated for a minute in
our sophomore year, but nothing serious.
Oh. [GIGGLES]
Why didn't you introduce me?
It was like a 10-second interaction.
Awkward.
- I-I don't know.
- Yeah.
- What?
- Wh-What?
- You have exes!
- I know.
- Okay. Mm-hmm.
- I do.
- So, do you wanna dry hump me again?

Hey.
Can you take me home?
Sure.
Uh, five shots of Patrón.

So, do we like these girls?
Does it matter?
You gotta rebound sometime.
I actually had a weird run-in
with Pippa today. It was kind of funny.
No, we're not talking about exes.
Rebounding?
I mean, I've been rebounding
every weekend since June,
so we're not really
in the same boat, but okay.
Are you okay though?
I guess, yeah.
Alright, let's do this.
Hey, you ever try Patrón?
Do you only date freshmen?
It was one freshman, alright? Once.
Never again.

What the fuck?
What are you talking about?
I have not even thought about Becca

There, that's it.

[DOCTOR] Everything looks normal.
Based on your symptoms,
all signs point to a panic attack.
N-No, that doesn't, uh, happen to me.
[DOCTOR] Well, these things can
happen out of nowhere.
I mean, oftentimes, it's subconscious.
Now, the only unusual thing that came up
is this rib right here.
Looks like a previous injury.
A small fracture. Right here,
do you know where that's from?
The funny thing about broken bones
is sometimes they don't even bruise,
so people don't realize
there's a fracture.
It could be from sports, a fall
a car wreck. Based on the placement,
it could be from the impact
of a steering wheel.
No. Nothing like that.

You might've had some difficulties
taking deep breaths for a while,
but ribs heal on their own,
and your lungs sound fine.
