Tell Me Lies (2022) s02e07 Episode Script

1
I'm done with my dad.
I'm suddenly this complete disappointment
because I failed the LSAT.
But we need your dad's help.
I'm thinking beyond some petty argument.
I'm thinking about o-our future.
Do you guys know this girl?
She hooked up with my brother,
and then sent some insane email
stating that he raped her.
It's impossible for you to know what
actually happened. You were not there.
I feel like everything is boring me.
Like even helping out with the team.
[DREW] [ON PHONE] Hey, it's Drew.
Leave a message.
Hey! It's me, your older brother
whose calls you won't answer.
The earrings look dumb, don't they?
May I?
- Are you seeing someone?
- He's 45.
A normal 45-year-old man
does not wanna date a 19-year-old.
Now, I can't even have
Thanksgiving with my boyfriend.
- Boyfriend?
- Told her you were with me?
Please don't be mad at me.
You know what a big risk I'm taking,
being here with you.
This doesn't work if I can't trust you.
You think this guy, who's treated
every other girl like shit,
is gonna treat you differently?
Some girls make it easy
to treat them like shit.
[GASPS]
This thing with you
and Stephen, it's sick.
I don't think I can do this anymore.
I loved you, even though I knew
all of the worst things about you.
Why are you punishing me for that?

[BIRDS CHIRPING OUTSIDE]
He said, "What's up, how you doing?"
I said nothing much, and you? ♪
What's your number, what's your name? ♪
[KNOCKING, DOOR OPENING]
Hello!
- Hey.
- What are you doing?
I'm just looking at these photos
I got printed from Thanksgiving.
Ah. Great, the day I went insane.
Don't worry, they're all fucked up anyway.
I thought it was just something
wrong with the screen,
but it's on every single photo.
Well, maybe it's your artsy trademark.
[BREE] Great. So, my artsy trademark
is not being able to afford a camera
that isn't broken.
Aw. Pippa, look.
- It's cute.
- [PIPPA LAUGHS SOFTLY]
Just to have her riding in the front ♪
Have you still not talked to Leo?
Uh, no. No. But it's it's fine.
Honestly, it was all just
too intense with him.
And I knew I shouldn't be
in a relationship,
and I was right. I mean, I
fucking lost my mind. [LAUGHS]
And I-I still can't believe I lost it
in that way. I-I'm sorry, guys.
Have you talked to Diana at all?
No. No. Not since Thanksgiving.
I was just being nice.
No, i-it's fine. Honestly, it's
Maybe you should just call Leo.
I don't know.
Th-The problem with Leo is he just
I think he only wanted
to see the good stuff about me.
That was a problem?
I mean, if you feel like you're gonna
disappoint someone with the truth, yeah.
[PIPPA] Hm.
Yeah, that was the one
good thing about Stephen.
I dunno, I basically just
knew that there was nothing
that I could do that would turn him off.
Like I could ask him to do anything,
and it just wouldn't freak him out.
And what do you mean you could tell him
to do anything? He was like a monster.
I think she means sexually.
No, I just mean I don't know.
I guess he was
the first person I slept with
that, like I-I can actually tell him
what felt good instead of just
letting a guy guess.
That's why I'm not into casual hookups.
I don't think I could come
with someone I wasn't comfortable with.
Anyway, what are we doing tonight?
Because the stars are shining ♪
- What?
- No, no, no. I-It's nothing exciting.
Our professor's having a Christmas party
at her house. Marianne.
Sh-She invited the whole class.
- This girl ♪
- Are you going?
Well, the whole class is going so,
be kinda weird if I didn't go.
Felt it in your throat ♪
What would the responsibilities be?
Well, it's an assistant coaching job,
so everything from helping run practice,
maybe even recruitment.
I think it could make sense
for me next year, and, uh,
they just need a good recommendation.
So, you know, I was hoping,
you've known me since freshman year
Look, Wrigley.
I actually know Gene Burchett,
the coach at Ecclestone.
That's great! Perfect.
I can't in good faith put you up for this.
It would be disrespectful
to a colleague I value.
At the start of the semester,
you told me you wanted
to still be a part of the team,
to help off the field,
but you've been totally absent.
Uh, I-I've been showing up.
Mentally absent.
You've been hungover, half asleep.
- You just stopped caring.
- Okay.
Okay, uh, w-well, um, you know
the thing with my knee
really messed me up.
I've had guys with injuries before.
There's something else going on with you,
and I don't quite know what it is,
but you need to figure it out.
[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]
[LINE RINGING]
[DREW] [ON PHONE] Hey, it's Drew.
Leave a message.
[HANGS UP]
[BEEP]
[LINE RINGING]
One minute, sorry.
It's fine. Take your time.
Last week of term's
always a fucking nightmare.
[DEEP BREATHING, SOFT MOANING]
- We're in your office.
- I am keenly aware.
[LAUGHS]
Well, I had the whole afternoon free,
but someone was just too busy to meet up
where there's a bed.
Someone still has to grade
all his underclassmen exams,
finalize a syllabus for next term,
and call the airline
to change holiday flights.
Change them?
[OLIVER] Yeah. We have to
leave for London a day earlier.
It's nothing. It's just a schedule issue.
And you're definitely
staying there for New Year's?
[OLIVER] Yeah, we do every year.
Have you decided what you're
doing for the holidays yet?
Not yet. No.
A few friends invited me to theirs
for Christmas, but we'll see.
- [SIGHS]
- I'm very popular.
- Of course, you are.
- [BOTH LAUGH QUIETLY]
[DEEP SIGH]
So, I'm kind of wondering about
this Christmas party tonight.
You know, I'm not sure
if I should go really, but
the whole class is going, so
Well, as long as it's not
too uncomfortable for you.
Well, it's obviously
a little uncomfortable.
It's a pretty dysfunctional
Christmas party.
You'll be co-hosting with Marianne.
Pretty sure it's just hosting
when it's your own home.
So you think I should go?
It's completely up to you.
Great. Then, I'll go.
Okay.
Speaking of dysfunctional Christmases,
I would like to be giving this to you
under a dysfunctional Christmas tree.
But this'll have to do.
[AWKWARD LAUGH]
I didn't get you anything.
Go on, open it.
[SIGHS]
- [PAPER CRINKLING]
- [GASPS]
I love it.
I know you can be a little hard to please
when it comes to gifts.
[GIGGLES]
Thank you.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
[HEAVY BREATHING, MOANING]
Should we go to the apartment?
I just can't today.
Okay.
It's not really fair though.
You've been so sweet with this present,
and now
I guess
you'll just have to suffer all night
while we're at this party together.
[GASPS]
[SIGHS]
[HEAVY BREATHING]
[GIGGLES]
Any dessert?
- We've eaten the entire menu.
- [DIANA GIGGLES]
I'll take the check.
- [QUIET RESTAURANT CHATTER]
- [SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
Thanks.
Thank you for dinner.
I thought we deserved it.
It's been a weird semester.
Mm
How's your sister doing?
Well, she's still terrified of me.
I could talk to her if you want.
I know it's been weighing on you.
If you wanted to speak
to someone for me,
I'd rather you talk to your dad.
I need that letter of
recommendation from his firm.
'Cause right now, it's like
my entire summer job didn't happen.
Talking to him won't help.
He's punishing you to punish me.
How are you not
more worried about everything?
Of course, I'm worried.
But, I've been thinking,
after everything with the LSAT,
maybe I just need to take some time off.
I've always had my dad's voice in my head
telling me I need to be perfect.
Maybe I fucked up with the LSA
because I'm burnt out.
Okay, and what do I do?
With no money
and no recommendation letters?
I don't know.
I'm sorry. I-I feel like
My head's a fucking mess.
I don't understand.
Wh-What in your life is so stressful
that you're falling apart like this?
Sorry, miss, your card was declined.
Really? Um
Can you Can you try it again?
[SERVER] I tried it three times.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
Dad's card?
He must've cut it off.

What are you even gonna do if you see him?
Just pretend I don't know him.
Hi!
Perfect timing. I-I need your help.
Could you each of you
grab one of these, please?
- Oh!
- [MARIANNE] Yeah, just
- over here in the kitchen.
- Yeah.
Over here, thanks.
Hoo!
I'm sorry for the mess in here.
- Oh, no. No, not at all.
- Um
- Do you fancy a drink? Yeah?
- [LUCY] Sure.
[MARIANNE]
We'll pretend you're upperclassmen.
[SHUTS FRIDGE]
Thank you f-for having us.
Of course! Yeah.
It's my favorite tradition
of the year, you know?
Getting everyone over.
Reminds me of graduate school.
Or [LAUGHS]
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
- Oh yeah.
- Yeah.
- Well, cin cin.
- Cheers.
You okay, Bree?
Yeah, I'm great.
- Good.
- [AWKWARD LAUGH]
I saw your tree.
You saw my tree?
Mm-hmm. It's It's pretty.
Oh. Yeah. [LAUGHS]
Thank you. Yeah, it, um
Yeah, it is a-a very pretty
Christmas tree.
- Yeah, it's pretty.
- [AWKWARD LAUGHTER]
Uh, well, listen, just, uh, eat
and enjoy.
- See you around.
- [LUCY] See ya.
What happens in
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
I-I don't remember.
I-I think the main couple
gets really drunk
and makes everyone uncomfortable.
I don't know.

No, I don't really understand that.
Hey, thanks for letting me crash.
If Diana asks, you needed me.
Is this networking?
Bree's fucking a 45-year-old.
Really?
Yeah.
He's 45 years old, man.
H-He's a 45-year-old man.
- 45 fucking years old!
- Mm.
So, I-I'm just, you know,
trying to figure out who it is.
Right. You think Bree is fucking this guy?
Fuck off, okay? I don't know.
Jesus Christ. Thank God I'm here.
You are terrible at this.
Okay.

I can't tell if you want me to ask.
She's just not the same lately.
Feels like she's
falling apart.
Diana?
Yeah. It's like she's in a hole she's
not even trying to pull herself out of.
I know that shouldn't change how I feel
about her. I should
have unconditional
whatever, but I-I just keep
coming back to the same thing.
If it was me,
if I was at rock bottom,
I don't know if she'd still want me.
You know, I never
understood your relationships.
[SOFT LAUGH]
Okay.
Now, let's see which one of these
saggy-dick fathers is fucking Bree.
[EVAN GROANS]
Making love to Bree. Sorry.
[HOST 1] Today we are kicking off
our seasonal special, y'all.
This is always my favorite time of year.
So what does this mean?
This means that
what we're going to show you
you can purchase in five easy payments.
[HOST 2] I always like that.
That makes it easy to budget.
[HOST 1] Right?
You don't wanna go out?
Don't shrug at me.
Stop! [LAUGHING]
I asked Coach for that recommendation.
He said he couldn't write it
for me in "good faith."
Guess I haven't really
had my shit together.
I'm sorry.
I tried to blame it on my knee,
but he said
he could tell something else
was going on with me.
He shouldn't psychoanalyze you.
No, he's right.
It's not my knee.
It's the stuff with Drew.
I can't focus on anything else.
He won't talk to me. He hates me.
The stuff with Drew wasn't your fault.
I d-don't even care whose fault it is.
He's my brother, so
Yeah, I miss him.
[PIPPA SIGHS]
It's finally happened.
You broke me.
I will play Halo with you.
[BOTH LAUGH WEAKLY]

- Heh.
- Where Where's the other one?
- Uh
- It's with Stephen's stuff.

Drew just needs time.
I promise.

Mm-mmm.
Why not?
How come you're not?
I am, just not at this exact moment.
[GIGGLES]
Just seems like a lot of effort
to get to know somebody new.
Or, like
get naked with someone new. Ew.
[SIGHS] Even if I like someone.
So, y-you do like someone?
I don't know. M-Maybe.
M-Maybe I could maybe like someone.
Someone that I-I barely know
who doesn't think of me that way at all.
- [SIGHS]
- So, does he know that you like him?
Mm
He's
it's a girl.
The someone that I like is a girl.
What?
Y Uh
You're hooking up with girls now?

[SOFT LAUGH] I, uh
I-I also just wanna apologize
for the first day,
when you read your story
about your parakeet. I
It was, it was a really good piece,
and I
I've thought about it a lot actually.
Just
the metaphor of it.
No, there wasn't a metaphor.
It was just a story about my parakeet.

No way. [GIGGLES] Sorry.

the semester to be over.

She's been helping me with, uh,
my work, transcribing it, and, uh,
somehow deciphering my handwriting.

[SOFT CHUCKLE]
I told him about you.
- You have?
- Of course.
I remember being in school, and, uh
you think of your professor
as off in a silo,
or you think they can
hardly tell you apart.
But it's not true.
I mean, I learn so much
from my students each year.
Well, th-that's a little worrying.
[MARIANNE] [LAUGHS] No, not at all.
There's been a lot of change
in you in this semester.

with his wife in the other room?
I don't think you could ever understand
what it means for me to be with
someone who really wants me.
You already have people
to spend the holidays with, to live with.
You have a mom and a sister
who are just there for you
whenever you need them.
That might not seem like anything to you,
but that's because you already have it.

Really, wh-what do you think
is gonna happen?
You think he's gonna leave Marianne?

Wrigley, I didn't say anything about it
to you because y-you're a mess.
I'm just looking out for you

you have some difficulty
with basic problem-solving.
For instance, you wanna
make peace with your brother

What Student Council thing?
Uh, I've been on

We've been meeting every day this week,

Yeah, my buddy, he had to be
a witness for that kid, Chris.
Oh, this is the girl that said
that guy raped her?
[MOLLY] Yeah, Caitie.
Fucking crazy how girls
can just lie about shit like that.
You don't know she was lying.
Well, one of them was lying,
and we don't have any proof, so
Well, that doesn't mean
it was Caitie who was lying.
I know her, and she wouldn't do that.
- [WRIGLEY] Do you know her?
- No.
[WRIGLEY] So, what do you think happened?
I think, truthfully,
she had a bad night drinking,
and she was embarrassed and regretted it
and, like
It's happened to all of us, so.
[MAN] Exactly. So she made up a story
that almost got a kid expelled.
Okay, everything you're saying right now
is fucked up. Both of you.
Okay, uh, let's talk about
something a little lighter.
I'm saying what everyone thinks.
Well, Caitie wasn't lying.
We just don't really know.
No, I-I do know, and she wasn't lying.
