Zig, sorry I'm late.

Yeah, you should be.

Our history project isn't going to do itself.

Whoa, it's one of you, Mr. Responsibility. I'm turning over an

What's your excuse?

Have you seen the mess outside?

What are you talking about, Chewie? There's no way that the Koreans beat

Columbus to America.

Look, you can't just take Maya's side because you're still hoping to have

relations with her someday. I'm not. I don't.

And she wants that too.

Seriously.

Sorry, I could see you loud and clear. They just texted me.

Looks like someone's in a jam again. Yeah.

No. I'm through accepting limits.

Cause someone says they're so.

Some things I cannot change.

But till I try I'll never know.

Too long I've been afraid of losing my mind. You're still dead to me.

Tristan, I know you're told that I got your boyfriend suspended, but this is

really important.

Tristan, don't take people outside, okay?

Kiss me goodbye, I'm

defying gravity,

and you can't hold me down.

If Zoe goes out, they're just going to get hounded by questions. You know I

you, Maya, but I've got two days until the most important audition of my life,

and I have to practice, so vamos.

Actually, Zoe, you'll want to hear this. Come on.

They're looking for dirt in your sexual assault trial. I thought the judge

issued a gag order.

Hi, Sophia Rosen from Buzzline. Would you like to comment on allegations that

your sexual assault charges against Luke Baker and Neil Martin are fabricated?

Facts are clear.

Those boys are guilty, and I'm going to prove it.

Any other questions?

The only thing keeping you from getting lost on our orienteering course tomorrow

is this.

Any ideas what it's called?

Yes, Becky Baker.

Does Mr. Simpson know what's going on outside?

That's not the answer I was looking for.

It's a comfort. He needs to do something.

People are calling my brother a rapist.

Because he assaulted a girl.

He didn't have sex with her. And if the lies get printed, it could impact the

outcome of his trial. Are you defending his actions?

Of course not. So he's admitted his guilt?

Apologized to Zoe?

Her family? No, not exactly. Come on, Becky, he's not the one on trial here.

So, let's turn our attention back to our orienteering course.

And how can you support him?

He's my brother.

I can't just abandon him, right?

I want to move forward.

But she's got a very important audition this week. For the role I've dreamed

about playing since I was a little kid.

I know it's bad timing, but... Well, it's good to have something else to

on during the trial.

Okay, but it's hard to focus with all those reporters at my school.

You're the lawyer on the case. Isn't there something you can do?

It's tough keeping a trial like this quiet, especially when it involves a

celebrity. So money will be all over the papers?

Not unless you give them permission to print it.

Which means no more talking to the press.

It could influence the jury's opinion of you.

I only told the truth.

Those boys are guilty.

Not until I prove it in court.

And how do we make that happen?

Well, there are no witnesses, no proof of force.

Which means this trial is going to come down to whose story the jury believes.

Yours or theirs.

Shorthand, we need to make the jury love me.

Yes.

That I can do.

Good. Let's rehearse your statement.

Tell me what happened the night of the party.

I can't really say. I wasn't there when the assault took place.

Alleged assault.

And if you weren't there, then you have no proof it happened.

But I talked to the victim.

Complainant.

Plus, I saw the video clips of the assault on my brother's phone.

Oh, dear.

Ixnay on the idiophase.

Excuse me?

I had those clips expunged as evidence because they were obtained without a

warrant. The prosecution can't bring them up in court.

So you're asking me to lie on the stand?

No, because I could be disbarred for that.

Okay, but even if I can't mention the video, I saw it. I know my brother

up with Zoe. And we're not arguing he didn't. We're arguing Zoe consented.

Let's start with an easy question.

Do you know, without a doubt, that your brother assaulted Zoe Rivas?

Of course he didn't. Mrs. Baker, I need Becky to answer.

I'm sorry, can you repeat the question?

What a mess.

Nothing. The jury's just taking their seats.

Lots of women.

That could work in your favor.

What am I thinking?

That I watched too much Law and Order SVU? Yes, but no.

Then I've got Pupkis. Perfect.

Impressing a jury comes down to the three A's. Attire. Which you've aced,

Thanks.

Attitude. Be polite and positive. And appearance.

Maintain a poker face.

So they can't see you sweat.

Even when the scum of the earth walk into the room.

All right.

Please state your full name for the record.

Luke Baker.

And what is your relationship to Zoe Revis?

Zoe and I go to the same school, but we never really talked.

Until the Hollingsworth party.

Neil and I came across her in the pool house.

Were you hooked up with her?

We thought.

It was kind of weird that she wanted to fool around with two guys at the same

time, but she got this rep as this celebrity party girl.

So you're claiming that Hookup was consensual?

Well, she never said no.

So you did not take advantage of Zoe's intoxicated state to assault her?

No. And you did not continue to violate her while she was passed out?

Absolutely not.

What's with the furrowed brow?

Can you imagine what Zoe's going through right now?

Reporters stalking her at school.

People saying all sorts of things about her online.

We need to do something.

How about some placards?

That's an idea.

Yeah, and t -shirts.

People could wear them in court and show their support.

Yeah, we could get other students to help. And there's a whole bunch of

left over from Dad's campaign I can bring to the school this afternoon.

Yeah, it's a date.

Yeah, it's going to be so much fun.

Fun.

That's what Zoe told you she was after the night of the party.

She was a little down. She was getting over a breakup.

She wanted to have a good time.

Define good time.

You know, not loose.

Dance. Hook up with boys?

Frankie, did Zoe specifically say that she wanted to hook up that night?

And remember, you're under oath.

Yes. Yes, she did, but she was really, really, really drunk at the time. Which

is why you tried to stop her, because you knew that she'd regret it.

Yes. Just like earlier this year when Zoe regretted having sex with a

boy at a different party. I believe his name is Drew Torres.

What happened after that?

Did she publicly accuse him of rape? No, that's not what happened.

You need to object. Why aren't you objecting? Is there a problem?

Your Honor, may I request a short recess?

Five minutes.

This is a disaster. Don't worry. I will talk to the judge. Given the

circumstances, he will forgive your behavior.

Not me. You.

Zoe. He's tanking my case, Mom. I never said winning would be easy.

Well, right now it seems impossible.

We need a new lawyer.

I'm not sure we can do that, honey. Why not?

Because technically this is not your case.

The prosecution represents the government.

So there's nothing I can do? Honestly, stay out of court.

I want to help win this thing. I need to do something.

Yeah, trust me.

Hey, you know what always makes me feel better?

A trip to the mall.

I got booted from court. I think I'm beyond retail therapy.

Okay.

Uh, look on the bright side. You have extra time to focus on your audition.

Well, people tell tales about me on the stand.

I need to find a way to influence the jury.

Well, you still get to testify, right?

That won't be enough.

The defense has already convinced everyone that I'm just another dumb

Well... What would Gatsby do?

Hi, Ratman.

Take people out.

Hey. We swore we'd never speak of season eight.

I guess... I guess she'd find a way to do some serious image rehab.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

They're like a million reporters dying to hear my side of the story?

We could hold a press conference.

Publicists at West Drive always said one -on -one was best.

I'm here with the beautiful, young Zoe Rivas.

Zoe, what do you want the people to know about that terrible night?

The truth.

And you forgot to say talented.

That is definitely not the spot for the purple.

Yeah, we were hands in the way. Get it right.

You got me in the wrong spot.

Hey, um, thanks for doing this with me.

It means a lot.

Yeah, well, so we didn't deserve what happened to her. People need to hear

Yeah.

Plus, spending time with Sue isn't so bad.

Oh, no.

No.

It's good to hear.

Even when this is all over, we can, like, spend some more time together.

Okay, I'm going to go speak to my girl until I can get her a photocopier for a

project. All right.

You're wasting your time, dude.

Man, what are you talking about? I totally haven't had a shot.

How do you think Maya's going to feel when you testify in court that you

much made out with Zoe while you guys were still together?

Okay, before we head out, I want all your cell phones in this box.

We're using compasses today, not smartphones.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Mr.

Baker.

Stranger, I didn't see you on the bus.

The only seat left was at the front. I rushed straight through court.

Oh, that explains the duds.

Weren't you supposed to testify this afternoon?

If I was, would I be here?

True.

Partner, is what Imogen would have said if she hadn't already agreed to be mine.

That's before any of my bestie was available.

No, sorry. The only person still solo is Drew, and I can't spend the whole day

alone in the woods with him. Didn't you guys, like, kiss and make up?

There was no kissing.

I don't understand. Drew's not even that cute.

Besides, I want to hear everything about the trial.

You know what? It's fine. I'll go with Drew. Are you sure?

Yeah. I mean, it's not like I'll have to make out with him.

You say that now?

Hey.

Hey. Want to be in charge of the compass? Not unless you want to get

I won't let her get lost. Okay.

So I'll make this article published as soon as possible.

We can have it online this afternoon.

Great.

Here's my press kit.

Special bio.

First pictures, standard media agreement. Yeah, I'll take a look at

Right now, I want to hear your story.

Right.

Well, the morning after I woke up in the pool house naked. No, no, no. I can get

the facts from the court transcript.

I want to know what you were feeling.

Maybe this isn't a good idea.

I have to testify in an hour. Plus, the lawyer for the prosecution doesn't want

me talking to the press, so... The lawyer who?

according to you, is tanking your case.

Those boys hurt you, didn't they?

And I need the whole story.

Where do I start?

All right, T -shirts and placards are loaded.

We should probably get going before one of the main corpers always tests

someone.

Um, actually, I'll meet you in a minute.

Um, yeah, okay.

Okay.

What?

Am I in trouble or something?

No, I just wanted to talk to you.

Uh, can it wait?

It's just, wouldn't it be weird, like with us?

Miles and I... You still love him?

I think so.

Believe it or not, it is possible to get over my amount.

Thank you.

She's pretty ziggy.

Is she the reason you've been ignoring my call?

No, man, I've just been super busy with the family, school, and...

Plus, I have a job at this restaurant now, so it's like... I got a job for

too.

Vince, man, I'm retired.

You should have moved to Florida.

No one gets out that easy.

The damn time's coming up, and I need my soldiers in the field.

What happens if I say no?

I think you know the answer to that.

But you didn't say no, did you?

I didn't say anything.

I was unconscious.

Well, then how do you know that you were assaulted by the defendants?

Because the next day at school, everybody was talking and posting

social media. How did that make you feel?

Like I wanted to crawl into a cave and never come out.

You were embarrassed?

Of course.

You didn't like your classmates calling you names?

Who would? And you wanted them to stop. Well, obviously. So you told everyone

that these boys assaulted you. No.

No, that's a lie.

Then why did you tell Buzzline, and I quote, the whole school thought I was a

slut. I wanted them to stop, so I said those boys assaulted me.

I didn't tell them that. That reporter must have misquoted me. Really?

Well, then maybe this transcript from Buzzline will jog your memory.

Please read the highlighted portions for the court.

The whole school thought I was a slut.

I wanted them to stop.

So I said those boys assaulted me.

Okay, I might have said these actual words, but I didn't want it to sound

this. Just like you didn't want the kids at school saying that you had hooked up

with two boys at the same time.

But that doesn't mean you didn't consent to it.

You've heard of the boy that cried wolf meets the girl who cried herself.

Stop, I can't hear anymore. So it's just one article, okay? It's been tweeted

all over.

Okay, but it's not all bad. The journalist describes you as a beautiful,

talented young girl.

Obsessed with male attention.

Yeah, but that part is kind of true.

So you agree with that reporter?

Uh -oh. No, Zoe, of course not, but you do care a lot about what boys think.

First, my brother.

Okay, Frankie, leave me out of this, okay?

Plus, you were walking around that party asking if you were sexy. So you think

I'm to blame for what happened that night? Okay, it doesn't matter what they

think, just the jury.

It matters to me.

It's ten o 'clock.

We were supposed to meet the bus at seven. Okay, well, according to the maps

gave us, the next marker should be right over there.

I don't see it.

I think we're lost. We're not lost.

Yeah, we are. We passed the same tree like five times.

Besides, we haven't seen anyone from our class in hours. Caleb, we've been

walking north the entire time?

According to the compass, yeah.

Which you did not adjust for declination.

Decl -what?

The difference between true and magnetic north.

Didn't you listen to anything Prino said in class?

Honestly. How could you make such a big mistake?

But you're the one who put me in charge of the compass. Oh, so it's my fault

we're in this mess? No, but... And I actually don't want to fix it, even if

means doing something really, really bad.

Are we still talking about orienteering?

Give me the compass.

Look, it's getting dark.

All right, we should stop for the night. No, we need to get home.

I've already caused my family enough grief by skipping court today.

Don't they send people to jail for that? What am I supposed to do?

If I don't lie on the stand, my family hates me, and if I do, I hate myself.

How could someone I love do something so terrible?

You made a mistake.

A big one. Huge.

But that doesn't mean you just give up on him.

My brother never gave up on me.

What would Adam do?

Talk to me.

Try to understand if there was more to the story.

Even if there was, what would people think if I took Luke's side?

I won't judge anyone for trying to keep their brother around.

You are a good guy, Drew.

Right now, I'm a cold guy.

So can we find some firewood?

Sure looks like consent to me

Whatever

it takes I know I can make it through

If I hold out I

know I can make it through

I know I I know I can make it through
