One of Us Is Lying (2021) s02e07 Episode Script

1
Aah! Help me!
I can't breathe. I can't breathe.
I can't breathe!
Let me out! I can't breathe!
There's no air in here!
- It's you?
- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
We are not going to hurt you.
- We're trying to protect you.
- I know it seems crazy
It is crazy! It's incredibly crazy!
But you have to trust us.
Vanessa, you have got to take a breath
or you're gonna pass out again.
Let me go right now!
Okay, not to be rude, but
this is why we gagged you.
And maybe this will make you rethink
the whole cheer hazing ritual.
Look, we can explain everything.
And I will take this gag off,
but you have to promise not to scream.
Okay?
Aah!
Um, I'd like to report a missing person.
This could be what
leads us to Jake Riordan.
We'll search in a five-mile radius
of where she found the license plate.
Hey! Hello? Somebody's
threatened my girlfriend.
Oh, okay. All right.
She's not my girlfriend
exactly, but listen,
the point is, somebody's threatened her
and now she's just gone.
How long has she been missing?
About an hour.
That ain't missing, my friend.
Vanessa was able to find
- Jake Riordan's license plate.
- Look, look.
Can you look? That is her.
She found the license plate.
She was supposed to go on the show,
but then she just
disappeared from the set.
I watched the show. Prestin
said she got cold feet.
Said it happens to guests sometimes.
They see the bright
lights and get spooked.
Look, no one at "Tom
Prestin" believed me either.
But she finds game-changing evidence
about Jake's disappearance
and then what,
just backs out at the last second?
Come on, Officer. That
doesn't make any sense.
Yeah, kid, nothing women
do makes sense. Believe me.
If your girl is still
missing in 24 hours,
come back and see me. We'll talk.
Till then, she's just
not texting you back.
Don't take it personally.
Let me out of here!
Okay, so that could have
gone much, much better.
We tried to explain to her
that we were just trying to protect her,
- but she wasn't buying it.
- Not at all.
She kept using the term "kidnapped."
Okay. Did you ask her about TJ?
'Cause we need to know
how Simon Says framed him.
Yeah, she wasn't exactly
in the sharing mood.
- So you just left her tied up?
- We can't let her go
until she helps us figure
out who Simon Says is.
Yo, we're trying to
protect her here, right?
- Not pump her for information.
- Whose side are you on?
We don't have time for this.
Look, if we keep her here much longer,
her army's gonna notice that she's gone.
Evan's already noticed.
He was texting her
until we lost service.
- I know you're Simon Says!
- We need to cover out tracks.
Text Evan back. Post to her Instagram.
What, a selfie of her bound and gagged?
What are you guys doing?
No, no, no, no. We
need to post as Vanessa.
Maybe a picture of a sunset.
How's she's taking a
mental health break.
- Okay, with what cell service?
- I told you.
There's a little bit of
service out on the deck.
Okay, so let's get that
taken care of first.
Then we can worry about figuring
out how to get her to talk.
Ugh! Help me!
These Simon Says psychos
are gonna kill me!
We are not Simon Says.
We are trying to protect
you from Simon Says.
The real Simon Says is a killer,
and we didn't want you to get hurt.
Well, mission un-fucking-accomplished.
What are you doing with my phone?
We just want to let Evan
know that you're okay.
I am not okay. Do not text Evan.
This doesn't have to be a whole
thing if you just unlock it.
I am not helping you.
- TJ said I was a better hook
-up than you.
Oh, please. You wish.
Got it.
Don't text him.
Vanessa, look. We want
to untie you, okay?
But we gotta make sure
that we can trust you first.
Are you kidding me?
You killed Jake and Giselle,
and I assume I'm next,
and you're worried about
me being trustworthy?
What Nate means is that we
didn't kill Jake or Giselle,
and we're not trying to kill
you, but Simon Says might.
Right, Simon Says. AKA all of you?
I know the truth. I have evidence.
I sourced every photo from
Jake's Halloween party.
I know you all were there
hiding behind those cheap masks.
And your sister too, in
that stupid bear costume.
She was arguing with Jake,
and then you all happened
to disappear at the same time as him.
And then two hours later,
Addy and Cooper and Maeve,
the stupid little bear,
snuck back into the
party after killing Jake.
And where are you going?
Untie me!
Okay, what if we miss
a Simon Says message
while we're here with no service?
One crisis at a time, Cooper, please.
Okay. How's this to Evan?
"Sorry about bailing.
The pressure got to me.
So embarrassing. Need some me-time.
Will call you tomorrow"?
- Uh, good, I think.
- Great.
Not really sure.
We need to see the photos from
Halloween on Vanessa's phone.
Why? What's happening?
Oh, my God, so Vanessa saw Jake fighting
with a bear that she thought was Maeve
but we're pretty sure is Simon Says.
Wait, go back. This one.
How are we supposed to
figure out who that is?
Couldn't that be Maeve? I mean,
she could have followed us.
- It's not Maeve.
- Okay, are there any other photos?
Okay, speaking of Maeve,
I do think that we should call her.
She has no idea where
we are, and you know
that she's gonna freak out
when she can't get ahold of us.
We need to keep her out of this.
We can't keep adding to
her growing rap sheet.
Come on. Pick up the phone, Bronwyn.
Yeah, right.
- Hello.
- Hi.
- Maeve Rojas, Bronwyn's sister.
- I know who you are.
I'm just trying to figure out why
you're knocking on my damn door.
Am I the pied piper of
high school children?
Do you know where Cooper is?
- No.
- Really?
That's why you came
all the way down here?
Yes.
Baby, this could have
been a text message.
We need to find them. Do you have a car?
Why are you freaking out?
Kris, I have a really bad feeling.
I think they're in trouble.
Okay, come in.
Aah! Get me out of here!
Assholes.
Okay.
Getting depressed won't help.
You're Vanessa goddamn Clark, okay?
You're gonna get out of here.
Okay, TJ made you watch
all the "Taken" movies.
You are prepared for this moment.
Perfect.
What are you guys doing?
We're making a new murder board.
We know that Simon Says
was aligned with Jake
and had it out for Giselle,
so we just need to figure out
what connects Giselle,
Jake, and Simon Says.
And whether TJ was just
the easiest to frame
or if Simon Says had it out for him too.
Should we go check on her?
I don't think we should leave
her chained up like that.
Chained up?
That's a little bit dramatic.
When I see something ♪
I wish I had shut out ♪
Oh, my God.
Where the fuck am I?
- Vanessa!
- Ugh!
Help! I was taken!
Like from the movies!
Vanessa!
- I'm on an island?
- Oh, yeah.
What is wrong with you psychos?
Aah! It's for your own good!
Vanessa. Vanessa, come on.
Come on.
Where the hell are we?
My parents' vacation house, okay?
We thought it'd be safest
till we figure out who Simon Says is.
You have to believe us.
Okay, you can keep saying that,
but I know what I know.
I have the pictures,
and I found Jake's license plate.
Oh, my God.
I know he never left Bayview.
Is that what you were
gonna bring to Tom Prestin?
Bingo, Cooper.
It's only a matter of time
until Tom turns it over to the police
and they track down even more evidence
that you all killed him.
Checkmate, losers.
You are not getting away with this.
What if we tell you what
really happened to Jake?
Cooper, what are you doing?
We will tell you everything. Everything.
And if you still want
to turn us in, fine.
But please, just let us
catch Simon Says first.
- Why would I trust you?
- Oh, my God!
If we wanted to hurt
you, do you not think
that we would have done it? Sorry.
And if we catch Simon Says, Vanessa,
we can exonerate TJ.
Isn't that what you want?
So that's everything.
I fucking knew it.
Hmm, I knew it.
You have all been gaslighting me
and shitting on me,
but I was right.
I was right.
Oh, my God.
I was right.
You're all murderers.
You're all murderers.
Jake was a murderer,
and all of you guys are murderers.
No, it's not exactly the same thing.
And now, there's
another killer out there
stalking me and hunting me.
And how do I know that Simon Says
didn't put you guys up to this?
What was that?
Oh, my God. It's Simon Says.
You dragged me to a cabin
on an island with no cell service.
It's definitely a murderer.
- We have to get out of here.
- Okay, and go where?
Be quiet.
Hey! Whoa, Maeve.
Oh, my God!
- What the hell are you doing?
- Kris?
What the hell are you doing?
Well, I don't know,
I couldn't reach you.
And Janae's text was really weird.
- What text?
- I wanted her to know we were okay.
Yeah. Well, lucky for you,
I was able to trace that text
before I lost my mind
and went to the cops
to report you missing!
Okay, they are not missing. I'm missing.
- Boy, what's wrong with you?
- What?
You kidnapped Vanessa?
You know you can't be
kidnapping no white girl with followers.
Thank you.
Look.
If I figured it out, Simon
Says probably can too.
And not to pile on,
but the cops are everywhere
in Bayview right now.
They found Jake's car.
- Fuck.
- What?
Oh, my God.
Because of the license plate?
Yes, Vanessa. All thanks to you.
Look, they haven't officially called it
a murder investigation, but
it's only a matter of time,
so whatever the hell you
guys are doing out here,
do it fast.
Evening, Mr. Clay.
Sorry to drop in so late.
Is Cooper home? I have
a few questions for him.
You always do.
We found Jake Riordan's
car off Grillo Point.
And we have new reason to believe
that there was foul play
involved in his disappearance.
Well, he's already asleep,
so how about you come back
tomorrow after his workouts?
Huh.
Well, his jeep is what, in the shop?
I'll see you tomorrow, Detective.
Mm-hmm.
- Have a good one.
- You too.
Why are you lying to me?
Hey, son, where are you? All right.
I spoke to Coach Davis, all right?
Now, there is no UCLA trip.
And I need you to call
me right now, you hear me?
You call me right now!
You didn't have to come
all the way out here.
I know you want to stay away
from this part of things.
Okay, but if I'm trying to see you,
how am I gonna stay away from this part?
Babe, we said we're
gonna try again, right?
I knew what I was signing up for.
I know, but I don't want to make you
have to do anything that you don't
Uh-uh.
First of all,
I'm a grown-ass person, okay?
I don't "have" to do anything.
I want to.
I want you. I want the whole you.
All of it?
Babe, this a lot of drama.
Hi. Um
Okay.
So I've been thinking,
and I would like to thank you
for your unhinged confession.
But I would like to be put on
the next ferry back to Bayview.
So you can go straight
to the police? No.
Vanessa, we need to know what you know.
TJ was framed, but we don't know why.
Why TJ? How is he
connected to all of this?
I don't know.
I don't know, Bronwyn, okay?
I just want to go home.
Please.
Oh, my God.
So, uh, when were you gonna
tell me about this terrible plan?
Maeve, I don't it
just happened really fast.
And it wasn't our
intention to exclude you.
We didn't mean to.
- You didn't mean to?
- No.
So, what, you just forgot?
I don't really know
what I'm supposed to say.
It was me. It was my
idea not to tell you.
Shocking.
I know you want to help,
but what we're doing right now,
you don't want to get your hands dirty.
So please go home, Maeve.
Janae, you agree with me, right?
God, you both suck.
Maeve, I'm so
Thank you for that.
You okay?
You seem, like, distracted.
I mean
An unused vacation home
that's twice the size
of my family's place.
And I'm trying to text people
to cover my shifts at the restaurant,
because if I don't, if I
lose my shitty part-time job,
my whole life falls apart.
Bronwyn and me, we're just so different.
I don't deserve her.
Nate, because she's rich?
That doesn't make her better than us.
No.
That's not it.
I kissed Fiona.
After the cafeteria.
Like, for real.
Does, um
does Bronwyn know?
No, no.
Okay.
Are you into Fiona?
- It's less pressure, so
- Mm.
I never feel like I'm
gonna disappoint her.
But with Bronwyn,
I feel like, um
like I'm just waiting for her
to remember who I really am.
Come to her senses and run away.
Nate, I know that I'm not a shrink,
but I've watch so many
episodes of "The Bachelor."
Like, so many.
And I can tell you that
you are creating problems
when there aren't any.
Do you want to be with Bronwyn?
Yeah.
Then get out of your own way.
Ooh, girl, I'm a fan.
You're giving, period.
These girls not doing
what you doing, boo.
They not.
- They really not.
- Thank you.
Can I talk to you for a second?
Okay, you're telling me
that you knew the entire time
and you didn't do anything about it?
Okay, excuse me for not
having the utmost faith
in our so-called justice system.
Girl, I don't trust the law.
And, girl, Jake tried to kill them.
Okay. But Jake was still a person, okay?
His family deserves to know the truth.
Sweetie, this world ain't fair.
Nothing about it is fair, okay?
Everybody wants it to be black and white
and right and wrong so damn bad.
It don't work like that.
It doesn't exist.
Plus, they were getting
ready to hand themselves in.
They wanted to take full
responsibility, for everything.
But then Simon Says framed your boy, TJ.
And then they realized
that if they end up in jail,
Simon Says is still out there
hurting people like TJ, like you.
Okay, but what if they
Sweetie.
Babe, I get it, okay?
They've done bad things.
But they are not your bad guys.
Any luck?
We'll see.
Okay, so we need to focus
on who was wearing the
bear costume on Halloween.
You, right?
Wrong.
Okay, why are you guys so
focused on the bear costume?
The bear didn't kill Jake. You guys did.
Because we think Simon
Says is the bear. Keep up.
- Bronwyn, come on.
- What?
Keep up?
Okay, I'm the one who has to keep up?
You guys didn't even
know there was a bear
- until I told you.
- Oh, my God.
What have you even figured out?
A lot, actually.
Oh, really, Addy?
Okay, so then why did Jake kill Simon?
- To set me up!
- To torture us!
- Hey.
- Okay?
What does that have to do with anything?
I just think maybe if you guys
pulled your heads out of your asses,
and stopped thinking
that's it's all about you
Oh, my God, we are not the
self-absorbed ones here.
It is about us because
Jake's insane plan
ruined all of our lives
- Bronwyn.
- And whatever Simon Says does comes back to us.
Thank you. Exactly.
Okay, tell that to TJ.
And in case you forgot, Bronwyn,
my life is the one being threatened.
Your life? Jake tried to kill me.
Okay, but he didn't. You killed him.
- It was self-defense.
- So you're right, Addy.
- Maybe this is all about you
- Okay, stop.
- And that it's all your fault.
- Vanessa, stop.
Enough!
Damn, all y'all are acting
like a bunch of children.
Y'all better hurry up and
get y'all's shit together.
For real, 'cause if not,
every single one of you is gonna end up
either in jail or in the morgue.
That's what y'all trying to do?
Y'all, it's 2:00 a.m.
It's 2:00 in the damn
morning. I'm tired. I'm tired.
Y'all already been dragged, tied up.
Nobody is being they
best self right now.
So that's it. I'm calling it.
Everybody go to bed.
We gonna try again in the daylight.
- But we don't
- Girl, stop.
Good night.
Good night. Say it back.
- Good night.
- Night.
Wow.
Where'd that come from?
I know you heard me.
Good night.
Good night.
Can I have my phone back?
Please?
Can't risk it. I'm sorry.
So much for being on
the same team now, huh?
Do you still snore?
You used to at middle school sleepovers.
Hey.
You okay?
I think I need a vacation
from this vacation.
I'm sorry.
For getting so "me" before.
All pushy and intense.
Sounds vaguely familiar, yes.
Well, you're being very "you."
Quiet and stoic and sad.
You want to tackle every problem
at a hundred miles an hour, Bronwyn.
- I don't work that way.
- I know.
And I like that about us.
Then why did you snap at me
every time I tried to help today?
I didn't mean to.
I just get passionate about things.
And I don't want people to get hurt.
And
I'm sorry.
In my house,
when someone talks like that,
they're about to throw a plate
or get lost in a bottle
of vodka for two days.
Or leave for five years.
I shouldn't have said anything.
I-I don't want to fight with you.
This isn't fighting.
This is figuring it out.
And I'm not gonna go anywhere.
You can't get rid of
me that easy, Macauley.
Wow, it's the most fashionable
sleepover I've ever been to.
It's cramped up here.
You should probably
take the bottom bunk.
Okay. Good night.
Good night, Janae.
Mmm.
Babe, I cannot believe
that you don't know
how to scramble eggs.
Well, I don't know my
way around the kitchen,
but there is something
I know my way around
that I wouldn't mind scrambling.
I don't even know what that means,
but I kind of like it, though.
Mmm.
Shit.
Hey.
What's wrong?
Work keeps calling.
If I don't go back today,
I could lose my job.
We can't go back yet.
This job is my lifeline, Bronwyn.
I know. I'm sorry.
I'm just worried that
we're running out of time.
Then let's figure it out.
Good morning.
We need everyone up and working.
We have to figure this out
and catch the 11:00 ferry back.
- What are you talking about?
- Thank you.
Okay, up and working before coffee?
Hell no, girl. You
you just need to shh.
Permission to join you?
You clearly don't need my
permission for anything, so
Are you still mad we didn't want
to bring you along for a felony?
You know, I just find
it really convenient
how you guys seem to
forget the amount of times
I've saved your asses.
If it wasn't for me, Murder
Club would be nothing.
You trust Addy more than you trust me.
Are you jealous of me and Addy?
Maeve
I'm sorry.
I am.
I see you for you.
Why can't you do the same for me?
I do see you.
I
See every amazing part of you.
And I'd love to stay up here forever,
but I think we both know
that they need us down there.
Okay.
Now we done tried it your way,
and it was a mess, all right?
So now we gonna do it
the Usher way. My way.
- Huh?
- Who?
Y'all don't listen to old school?
Oh, we're talking about Usher.
Oh, yes. Thank you, baby.
Ooh, come join us in the circle, boo.
Now, this right here is a
restorative circle, all right?
It's a safe space with the main
goal of every voice being heard.
Now, we only talk
when we have the talking
tiger in our hands, okay?
If you do not have the
talking tiger in your hand,
then your job is real simple, boo.
Just listen.
Okay, baby.
Sweetie, I'ma need you to
put your hand down, please.
What I need y'all to understand
is that everybody here
has valuable information
and y'all all want the same thing.
We're all on the same team.
Yes.
Thank you, baby. You know what?
Go ahead. Get us started.
Okay.
So we all know that Simon
Says framed TJ, right?
But why him?
I mean, what did he have
to do with Giselle and Jake?
- Addy?
- Mm-hmm.
Simon Says killed Giselle.
- Not TJ, right?
- Right.
So maybe TJ isn't the most
important connection here.
And as obnoxious as Vanessa was
Maybe it isn't all about us.
Uh, excuse me.
Mm-mm.
Please?
Thank you.
Okay, so I just wanted to say
that I resent being called obnoxious.
Last I checked, you were
trying to get me to help you,
so I'd like an apology.
Oh.
Fine. Fine.
Vanessa, I'm sorry.
As I was saying,
Vanessa made some
great points last night,
and it really got me thinking
about things in a new way.
Okay, when it was all about us,
we thought that killing Giselle
was a demonstration for us.
Because Simon Says sent us a message
basically saying as much.
It was punishment for
breaking the rules.
And that's the danger we were
trying to protect you from.
Who got the tiger?
'Cause I must be confused. What?
I think that we need to consider
that maybe killing
Giselle was about Giselle.
And when we thought it was our fault,
that was just the
sadistic icing on the cake.
I think we should be asking ourselves,
what did Giselle know that made
Simon Says want to kill her?
You think that Giselle really
had a relationship with Jake
even though the Greece photos were fake.
So what if they really were
together over the summer?
- And what if
- Simon Says was there too.
Sorry, I don't I
don't have the tiger.
Sorry, baby.
Vanessa, I think the time has come
for you to tell us everything you know
about the real Giselle.
Okay.
Um, yeah.
Okay, this is really
hard for me to admit,
but she played me as much
as she played all of you,
and I don't know anything.
Shit.
Wait.
I do know where Jake
was over the summer.
- Is that relevant?
- Yes.
I promised Cole I wouldn't tell.
Vanessa, your life is
literally on the line.
Okay, if you think it will
lead us to Simon Says
Cole said Jake was in rehab.
- What?
- No, give it.
No, it's my turn.
Oh, my God.
Okay, y'all, I think the
talking tiger has done its job.
Wait, the news report said
that Giselle was in and out of rehab.
That doesn't make any sense.
Jake wasn't on drugs.
Baby, people go to rehab
for all kinds of behavioral
and emotional issues.
Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.
Didn't Gupta try to get your parents
to send you to some, like, therapy camp
before they pulled you out of school?
- Addy
- Yeah, she did the same to me
after I smashed up Giselle's car.
Could she have done the
same thing to Jake's parents?
Yes! I still have the email.
Okay, okay, so do we just
call and ask if he was there,
or do we have Maeve
hack into the records?
No, no, no, we don't
have to do any of that.
Guys, the logo?
It matches the necklace
that Giselle had and that Jake gave me.
Okay, so who else do
we know that's in rehab?
Zach. What about Zach?
He said something all sinister to Keely
about having other
plans for Cooper Clay.
Yes, if anyone needed that
kind of rehab, it's him.
And he was on the road near
the cliffs on Halloween night.
I know for a fact he
saw Jake's car go by.
That is how I found the license plate.
Okay, Ferry leaves at 11:00.
We should get on it.
Nate should go to work.
We should act normal so Simon
Says doesn't suspect anything.
The rest of us will look
into Wild Awakenings.
- And Zach.
- Oh, oh, oh, oh.
And, Vanessa, could you maybe
go back and talk to Cole?
We need to know if anyone
else was in rehab with Jake.
Yeah, totally. He owes me, so mm-hmm.
All right, come on, y'all. If we trying
to catch this ferry, we got to go.
- Okay, let's go. Come on.
- Yes, yes, yes.
Welcome to the team.
Oh, bitch. Okay.
Good morning, army.
Okay, first of all,
I'd like to apologize
for alarming all of you.
I was never missing.
I just seriously needed to
prioritize my mental health.
And that is never something
you should have to apologize for.
I was inspired by my fellow queens,
Simone Biles and Naomi Osaka.
And I realized that taking a break
can help bring a fresh perspective
and free you up to act
We're really trusting her, right?
She's not gonna turn us in?
I think she's on our side?
As much as she can be.
We had no choice but
to trust her for now.
We're trusting you.
Perfect timing.
Just the girl I've been dying to see.
You and all of Bayview, honestly.
Get in line at this point.
Okay, I know we got
off on the wrong foot
But now you want to talk? What changed?
We found Jake's car.
And I need to know how
you knew where to find it,
so please join us.
What do you want?
Are you here to kidnap me like Vanessa?
How'd you get her to
do that live by the way?
- That was really impressive.
- What?
Keely, we didn't make her do anything.
- Vanessa is fine.
- Keely, I don't know
- what you think you know.
- I know you lied about Halloween night.
I know you weren't taking care
of Vanessa like you said you were.
This is about Zach.
Keely, he's dangerous.
Yeah. No shit, Adds.
That's why I broke up with him.
No, we think he killed Giselle.
We need to know if he ever was in rehab.
What? Zach is crazy, but
he was never in rehab.
And honestly, you guys sound
just as crazy as him right now.
If you want to know what
Zach did this summer,
ask him yourself.
Keely, I really
It's Addy.
- Keely won't talk.
- Oh, shit.
It's up to us now.
What is this place?
Let's go find out.
Intake is on Thursdays.
That's why I said to you you
needed to be here by 10:00 a.m.
- Excuse me, ma'am?
- Okay, but
Could you just point us in the direction
- of patient services, please?
- Yes.
Well, we can look into
that when you get here.
We really want to see our sister.
And they'll that's right, yes.
Yes.
Okay.
All right, then.
Yes, I understand what you're saying,
but you just can't calm down.
Nice of you to show up for work.
Hey, I want to apologize,
Victor, about the shifts.
Look, I should have spoken
to you directly, not Fiona.
Look, we're short-staffed.
And you're on thin ice as it is,
so put your phone away and get to work.
Jake's missing vehicle
raises the possibility
that he never left Bayview at all.
And I think your theory
about the Bayview Four
knowing more than they're
letting on is credible,
so I'm willing to hear you out.
Maybe you were right all along.
Walk us through it.
I think you should look
into the rehab Jake was at.
What rehab?
I told you that in confidence.
I know. I'm sorry.
But I think it has to
do with Giselle's killer.
Oh, my God. Guys.
It's Jake.
You should have told
us about rehab sooner.
It's a private family
matter. It's not relevant.
- It could be.
- We're not talking about this.
No way.
Can you get waters for table four?
I need to grab a high
chair from the back.
Yeah, no problem.
Nate.
Actually, change of plans.
I need your help with a delivery.
Sure.
