You know that I've

been fighting for you.

I know that you'll

understand me. I

know that you've been fighting

too. Just know

that's not the plan

You know that I've

been running from you

I know that you'll

understand

I know that you've

been fighting too

Just know that's not

the plan I

don't wanna

be silenced

'Cause all I wanna

do Is

go back in time

and take it back

That's all I want to do Go big in

time In time of that

That's all

I want

We're here for you. We love you.

Okay, now.

Until it's done

Oh, please don't lose

yourself I

won't let go

Until it's gone All

right, we're here. Welcome home,

girls.

Sarah. Sarah.

Just give her some time. I'll talk toher.

You know he doesn't want us here, right?

That is not true. Mm. We see him, what,

three times a year since the divorce?But

now all of a sudden that mom's passed, he

wanna play house, huhNo, of course

not. We all know everything is not fine,

but we're just trying to make the best

out of a crappy situation. Look,

We're gonna start college in a few weeks,

and once that happens, we'll both move to

campus. Chris, you underage. You

can't live on campus. I'm 16.

I'll ask Dad to sign my permission

waiver, and then I'll move into the dorm

with you. I already looked into it.

Great. So my genius little sister who

could go to any school she want is going

to CCU with me?You don't

want me to come with you?I didn't mean it

like that, Chris. Of course I

want us to be together. Even if

that means I have to be the dumb one. But

you are the dumb one. Girl.

Look, I know this is an adjustment that

neither of us were ready for. One

day, Mom's making us breakfast, and then

the next, we're moving halfway across the

country with Dad. Nonetheless,

we're here. So let's just make the best

out of what we have, okay?

Okay. I'll try.

Promise?I said I'll try.

Actually. Okay, okay

This is me trying. Really?Yeah,

really. Okay.

This is so good, Britt. I don't think

I've ever had lamb chops like this

before. Umm Thank

you. It's a family recipe. Maybe you

could show us sometime. I would

love to. Since when are you interested in

cooking?Since

always. I mean,

if you think about it, cooking is the

culinary version of chemistry. Hmm

Kiss ass

Is this you trying?

Sorry. Oh, the lamb

chops are fire.

So, girls. I think it goes without

saying that I'm very happy to have you

here. I just hate that it has to be

under these circumstances.

It's no secret that your mother and I had

our disagreements.

But no matter what, I will always cherish

my time with her because they gave me the

two of you. Not rehashing the

old divorce speech, are you?

Go ahead, Dad.

No, you're all right.

You two aren't kids anymore. And you

should know that your mother was not the

easiest person to get along with.

But I do know that she loved you two very

much, and that's all that really matters

in the end.

Her end, you mean?

Yes, her end. Listen,

I know this isn't ideal, right?No one can

ever replace your mother. But she is

gone now. And

you two are still here. And as your

father, I just want to try to make this

transition period as easy as I possibly

can for you. You act like we're going

through a baggage claim or something. No,

I'm just trying to empathize with my

daughters who just suffered the worst

loss of their lives. And I just want you

to know that I am here for you. I mean,

we both are.

SoHave you girls

given any consideration to sitting out a

semester or two?I

mean, don't get me wrong, Kristen. I know

that it is amazing that you're starting

college a year early, just like your

father did. But you know, college can be

a little stressful. And with everything

that you both have already--

Mm-hmmWe can't do that. Not after

dear old dad went through all that

trouble to get me admitted. You know,

because I couldn't get accepted anywhere

else. How embarrassing that must have

been for you. Sarah. Yes, you know what?

You did let your grades slip the last few

years, which complicated matters. But

Sarah, we both know that your grades have

nothing to do with your ability. You just

weren't applying yourself. Or I'm too

much like mom, too much partying and

drinking to be concerned about grades,

right?Come on, Sarah, you know that's not

what I meant. Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll

end up just like her and somebody will be

scooping me up off the side of the road,

too. Sarah. What?Why don't y'all just

leave me the hell alone?S-- Sarah. Hmm

She didn't mean it.

I know, sweetie. But like you said, she

just-- she just needs some time.

And so do you.

This is me. Hey, I'm Sarah.

I guess we're gonna be roommate?Yeah.

I'm Diana. I'll let you go ahead and get

settled.

Okay. She seem like she gonna be fun.

Maybe she'll open up once you get to know

her. So where's my dorm room gonna be?

O-M-A. Gee,

this is my room?

Look. You can see the infamous Crystal

Cove Boathouse from here. Well, ain't

this some board?Hey, Sarah. Look, the

school gets very few underage applicants,

so the house a few floors up from the

rest of the students and generally don't

have roommates. Thank you so much for

signing my waiver, Dad. No problem.

I trust that you will stay focused on

your studies. And it's only five

minutes away from Dad's lab.

Jealous?Don't worry, Sarah.

You can crash here whenever you like. Yay

me. Okay, come on. Let's get the rest of

your things and we can stop by the lab. I

want to introduce you girls to the staff.

Ah

Welcome to Crystal Cove University.

School of Biological Sciences, where some

of the world's most leading minds in the

field of biological research have come

together to guide us into the future, led

by Professor and Department Chair of

Molecular Biochemistry, Charles Donald,

the foremost. Geez, Dad, way to feed the

ego. No, see, that was not my idea.

The dean wanted to create some recruiting

video. You couldn't have used a more

recent picture. Hey, what's wrong with

that picture?That is a handsome young man

up there. Hey, everyone, can I get your

attention, please?I want you to meet my

daughters. They just both just started

at CCU today. Some of you may remember

my youngest daughter, Kristen, from her

visit last year. She'll most likely be

joining us in the near future.

And this is my oldest,

Sarah, who hasn't been to Dad's lab

since, what, you were 10?12.

Right, 12. Well, girls,

meet the RA crew. RAs, my

girls. Hey,

guys. I went through all of my dad's

files over the weekend, and your work

with sodium thiothosylate, along with the

introduction of Hypericum perforidum, has

been amazing. What can I say?She's

a fan.

Okay.

Uh, hey. I'm I'm Wayne.

Hi, Wayne. Uh, so you're the big

guy's oldest, huhYep. Yeah,

uh, you know, he brags about you too,

like, all the time. Oh, no, that's

probably my sister, Kristen. Uh, no, no,

yeah, you too. You know, you're the,

you're the cheerleader. Yeah, you and

your team, you guys just won, like, a

national competition or something like

that?Yeah, yeah, sure. Yeah, see,

see, I know I know some stuff. But

I'm I'm guessing you don't know much

about your father's research, do you?No,

that's Kristin's department. Uh, see, I

see. That makes sense. Well, it is

actually quite brilliant. And we've had

some amazing breakthroughs with the St.

Johnsward. Yeah. So what we found is that

some medications like antibiotics, beta

blockers, or even some birth control

pills can alter

serotonin and dopamine levels within the

brain. And well, your father, he's

figured out a way to isolate and

synthesize the... I'm sorry, what?

Oh, sorry. Basically, he's

figured out how some meds can cause

depression. And we've been working on

ways to counteract the impact by adding

small doses of hypercubia and perforatum,

hence the St. John's work. The goal is

to eventually completely eliminate

depression as a medical side effect so

that the drugs can work better. And it's

actually been working perfectly on a

couple of our test subject mice. OK,

but aren't humans a little more advanced

than mice?So how can you be sure it works

if you haven't had human trials?You know,

that's a that's a fair point. Well,

we figured out how to isolate and

synthesize the altering compound into

liquid form. So then we feed it to the

mice, and then we monitor their brain

wave patterns. And once we see the mood

level drop low enough, we can slowly

start to introduce the St. John's Worth

to test its effects. Yeah, and then this

same process can then be used with

humans. Cool.

Yeah, hey, yeah, I know this can all seem

pretty boring. Uh, but, hey, actually, I

was planning on going to the quad for

lunch with you and your sister. Sure.

Chris, let's

go grab lunch. Okay.

Oh, Dad, do you want anything?Uh, yeah,

sure. Can you pick me up a chicken salad

sandwich?Yeah. Thanks.

All right. You guys are gonna love this

place, I promise. Oh, just a hug. Just

one step. Thank you. Okay.

Peace and love, girl

You came home Found somewhere you can lay

love Yo, over here. Yo, Jordan.

come here. What's good, bro?

Yeah, chilling. What about you?I'm

chilling. Well, well, well, who do we

have here?Uh, these are Professor

Donald's daughters. We have Sarah, and we

also have Kristen. Hey, Kristen. Hi.

Jordan is my name. Uh, Jordan is my

best friend. Sunshine. Nice to

meet you, Jordan. So,

what is this, take your kids to school

day?actually, no,

uh, they're actually both enrolled here

now. Both?Yeah. You look like you should

be in preschool. I'm 16.

Oh, so the genius beings running the

family I see...

I was hoping I'd see you again.

Who are you?Yeah, Jeff

Clark. Sarah Donald.

So you're the new girl everyone's talking

about. Damn, Jess. You heard of personal

space before?This is Crystal Cove.

All space is my personal space. You

should know that by now. No.

So your dad's the biochem professor, huh

Yeah. And how you know?You've been asking

about me?

I guess you could say that. I love your

hair. Thank you.

And you're the little sister?Hi, I'm

Kristin. Younger siblings, don't they

just get on your nerves?No. So, you

coming to our party?What party?

At our frat. You could even bring a

friend or two if you like. Girl, ain't

nothing to do in Crystal Cove. Better

take the opportunities when they come.

Yeah, y'all have fun. It's gonna be lit.

Isn't it a school night?

How cute. So, you coming?

Yeah, why not?

So we could come too?I

said she could bring some friends, didn't

I?I look forward to seeing you there.

Damn, Sarah. First day on campus, and you

already caught the eye of the biggest

fish in the pond. Yeah.

So, what's his story?You know, he's

a spoiled rich kid who thinks he's God's

gift to women. Pretty much, yeah. Jeff's

dad owns a big oil business. I don't know

what his major is, but I know he's a

major deal to this school. Well, that's

kind of ironic coming from the even more

spoiled rich girl whose parents are off

sailing somewhere in the Atlantic, but,

you know. - First off,He's an asshole

I'm a loving, friendly person.

Secondly, my family might be rich, but

they're not Clark family rich.

Yeah, well, in conclusion, yes,

Jeffrey Clark is an assholeYes,

indeed, he is. But

every high school kid and college kid at

Crystal Cove would kill to be invited to

one of his parties.

So we could come, right?

Oh, uh, we should get something to eat.

Yeah.

Hey. Hey

So, can I come too?Chris,

you know Dad is not going for that. Come

on, Sarah. Please think about it.

How else am I going to build my own

social circle if I don't go out and meet

people?It's not like I can hang out with

kids my age around here. I know, but I

mean, there's going to be drinking,

smoking, and who knows what else?Of

course there is. But that doesn't mean

I'm going to partake. And I don't want to

be stuck in-- OK, OK

But you stand sober. We both

are. Fine. And we only stand

for like an hour or two. You know, it's a

school night, remember?Deal. Thank you.

And do you have something I can wear?

I'm regretting this already.

So, what do we do now?

Mean girl.

Oh, great! You made it!Uh, keep

an eye. I'll be back in a second. Sarah.

Chef has been waiting for you all night.

I think that boy's in love. He don't even

know me like that. Baby, it's all at

first date.

She's dead. I'll be dead. No.

Wait, no.

UhSo, uh,

you ever done anything like this before

or, uh.. No.

Have you?Uh, yeah, no, no, no, not

really. I, uh.. Us lab techs aren't

really known for our wild side, so...

Yeah. Yeah, yeah

You considering pledging?Um, I haven't

really thought about it. Well, you

should. Kappa Theta Alpha?I could totally

get you in. No sweat.

Want some?Uh, nah. I

promised my sister I stay so goodnight.

Mm.

Sucks having to spend your college years

babysitting. Well, I'm going to see you

like that.

Hey, look who I found. Well, it's

about time. Hey, grab her a drink, will

you?I've been waiting on you all night.

Have you?Hey, listen up.

I want everybody to stop whatever you're

doing and meet my new girl, OK?

This is Sarah. Hey, what's

up, everybody?I'm new here, and

not his girl. The night's still

young.

So how you been?You look good, right?

Uh, no, I promised. Promises are meant to

be broken. Live a little. You're only in

college, right?Come on. Don't babysit.

Yo, Chris. Hey.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's going on?

Where's your sister?Where's Sarah?

She's with Jeff.

She seemed drunk, but

She couldn't have been because we made a

promise. They went upstairs.

Wait, wait, waitYou said your sister was

drunk. With Jeff.

Yes.

She could barely stand up.

OK. All right, come on. Come on, we got

to go.

Sarah?Sarah! Sarah! Sarah! Sarah! Sarah!

Hey! Sarah! Are you in there?No. Jordan,

Jordan, have you seen Sarah?I think she

went that way. Yeah, come on. I'll be

back. Sarah! Sarah, are you in

there?

Sarah! Go away.

Open the door, we're going to call the

police.

ah

What?Can't you see we're busy?Sarah!

Hey, Sarah, can you hear me?

What did you do to my sister?She's fine,

she just needs to sleep it off. For real,

is that what y'all were trying to do?

You're just trying to sleep it off?Man,

shut up, Wayne. Hey, shut up, who do you

think you are?Hey, just help me get her

out of here.

Well, sir, I got you. I got you. Come on.

Come onCome on, come onOkay.

Yep.

Hey, are you sure you're okay?

Yeah, um, I guess I'm just still

processing everything, that's all. That's

understandable. What an assholeUh-uh.

Watch it, potty mouth. You don't want to

end up sounding like me.

I'm just glad we got you out of there

when we did. Yeah,

me too. I mean, can you imagine what Mom

would do to him?

What's popping, Donald Sisters?What do

you want?To talk to your sister.

I came to your room first. Your roommate

told me you were probably up here. I

can't believe they paired you with Diana

Long. Small world.

Oh, wow. You can see the boathouse from

here. OK, you found

me, Athena. So what you want?

I was just coming to check on you and see

how you were doing. Damn. You left pretty

wasted last night. We were all worried

about you, especially Jeff. I

wasn't wasted, Athena. I had one beer.

Well, it was Scottish beer in the keg. I

hear it's like 65% proof, so

it is possible that one drink could do

it, especially if you chugged it too

fast. I guess maybe you're just

more of a lightweight than you thought,

or somebody put something in her drink.

Be careful hurling out harmful

accusations like that. This is a small

town, and you wouldn't want to ruffle the

wrong feathers. Well, maybe those are the

feathers that need to get plucked.

Whoa! Look at you. Big

talk from the new girl from the big city.

Well, you're gonna find out pretty

quickly that things go a little different

around here, sweetie. Sweetie! Bitch I

will drag Sarah up! No

fighting. I didn't come to fight,

Sarah. I was genuinely checking on you

out of concern. But I can see that you're

doing just fine. So I'll be on my

way. You do that.

If I were you, I would keep those

intrusive accusations to myself. You

wouldn't want the Clarks to catch wind of

you saying things like that. Trust me.

Sarah. We need to talk to Dad.

Wait, are you saying that boy-- No, Dad.

Luckily, it didn't get that far. Wayne,

Jordan, and Kristen were at the door. But

it could have, Dad.

Sweetie, I am so sorry that this

happened. After everything

else, this is the last thing you should

have to deal with.

So what are we gonna do?

That girl wasn't lying. The Clarks are

very powerful people with a lot of

influence in this town. So first things

first, I'm gonna have a conversation with

the dean. We cannot let that boy get

away with this. So come on.

Come on with me.

He's gonna open up an investigation.

We're gonna bring in the police to file a

report and ask you girls some questions.

Now, this probably will get a little

messy. The Clarks have deep pockets

and the lawyers. But no matter

what, I want you to know that I've got

your back. I support you, and we're gonna

see this through together as a family.

Thanks, Sam. Yeah. Come here.

I love you, too.

Come on in.

This is the craziest I've seen TCU campus

be in a while. Great.

I'm glad to know I'm the one that kicked

off the festivities. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I

didn't mean it like that. My bad.

You said in a while. When's the last time

something like this happened?Well, your

sister wasn't the only one Jeff has

tried. Two years ago, he invited

another girl to a party, and rumor is...

She didn't have her sister there to break

down the door. Oh, my gosh.

What happened to her?From what I've

heard, clerks lawyered up,

paid the girl off, and the girl retracted

her whole statement. They made a

huge donation to the school, and after a

while, everyone just moved on. Why?

How did everyone just forget what Jeff

did?'Cause honestly, we

all wanted it to be alive. He's, like,

head honcho around here. The elite.

He's known for throwing the sickest

parties. If they put up Jeff Clark,

there goes partying at Crystal Cove.

And we all just want to have a fun time.

Did she drop out?Nah, she didn't drop

out. I see her around sometimes. She

still goes here. You should try talking

to her. Her name is Dianna Long.

What?

Okay, all right. I'm fit today.

Okay.

Oh, shitUh.. What the

hell is this?

Uh, liquidized corticosteroids. What?

Uh, just something we're working on.

So you mind buzzing me in real quick?Come

on, Jeff. Cut. Stop. Cut it

out, man. What do you even need to get

into the science lab for anyway?My father

would like a word with Professor Donald.

He's not in there. He packed that up for

the night. Right. Sure he did.

So, uh, what'd you tell the cops, Wayne?

You have a nice night, Jeff.

Yeah, you too.

Hello?

This is Donald. Yes. Uh, is this about my

case?No, ma'am. Um..

I understand Diana Long was your

roommate. Was. I

can't believe this.

Let's just go. I want to talk to the

administration about changing rooms.

Wait, Wait hold up. Oh, my

gosh. I just heard what happened with

Diana. Are you okay?Still

processing it. This is all so sad.

But I don't think anyone's

really surprised. That girl hasn't been

the same since that incident. Did you

ever get the chance to talk to her before

she...

No. Um.. I was waiting until she got back

from swimming practice. Convenient,

isn't it?What do you mean?You

know, your sister has her case going on

with Jeff. Diana had one with him,

too. As soon as she goes to ask her about

it, the girl kills herself. That's weird.

I mean, you don't suppose he has

something to do with it, do you?Can we

just stop talking about this, please?

Hello?

Okay, yeah, sure.

Who's that?The dean wants to meet with

me. Oh, do you want me to come with you?

No, I'll just catch up with y'all later.

Oh, okay, all right.

You're siding with that professor's

daughter over my son?Have you lost your

damn mind?Are you telling me you value

his research over the millions my family

has given to this school?His research

could bring in billions. Well, we

see where your loyalties lie.

You'll be hearing from our lawyers.

You're her, aren't you?You're the girl

that's trying to ruin my poor boy's life.

Mrs. Clark. This is highly inappropriate.

What's good for the goose, little girl?

Remember that.

I'm sorry about that, Sarah. I didn't

know she was coming. She bursts in here

like she--

Never mind. Please, come in.

Have a seat.

That's Jeff's mother?Yes.

She's upset because I informed him and

his family that he's on disciplinary

suspension. Effective

immediately. And that's why I called

you to inform you as well.

Thank you. But after what he did to me,

he should be expelled and prosecuted.

Anything is possible.

I'm sorry about your roommate. If you

need to take a break or even a

sabbatical, we fully understand.

No, but, um, I would like

to change rooms if I could. Of course.

Our female dorms are completely full, but

I'll see what I can do.

I got you, Sarah. I

got you.

Did you hear that they've suspended Jeff

over this BS?They're considering

taking away his scholarship and

everything. Yeah. I hear he's taking it

pretty hard. He is. Poor thing.

Rick and I feel so bad for him. I know. I

told him so many times he has to protect

himself. And he's a wealthy and

attractive guy. These hoes will do

whatever they can to tear him down.

Hello. Good thing

you left the country this morning. I

would hate for these bitches to think

they could keep playing with

it. Yup.

Another Alpha Sigma party, RSVP. Yeah,

must be trying to save face. I mean,

can you believe this?they would do this,

like, after what happened to Sarah?I

mean... Sarah, what up?

Hey. Are you okay?I'm

fine. I just didn't realize I had

statistics with Athena. What that tramp

do now?Nothing, just be her usual

charm and self. I just

really need that lecture for next week's

test. I

just couldn't be in there with her for

another second. Uh, yeah.

What do you got going on tonight?Um,

Chris and I are driving to my dad's for

the weekend. Why?Well, I was just

thinking that, um, well, I've had that

professor before, and I'm pretty sure I

still have some of my old notes. So, I

mean, you know, maybe I could, you know,

if you want, maybe I could come over and

help you study. Oh.

Yeah. I would appreciate that. Yeah.

Um, you know where my dad lives?Uh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, I've been there once or

twice, you know, yeah.

Okay, so, meet me around

seven?Yes, seven. Seven sounds

good. Sure. I'll see you later, Charlie.

Look who decided to grow a pair. Help her

study. Classic. I mean,

no, come on, bro. Like, I'm I'm

serious, I'm serious, I'm really gonna,

you know, just help her study. You're

really just going there to help her out.

So if one thing leads to another, that's

just happenstance?I mean, come

on. Like, I wouldn't I wouldn't do that.

Like, especially in, you know, Professor

Donald's home. I mean, I'm I'm a

gentleman, you know?Right. Yeah. Yeah

What happened?What?

What is that?Well, that's fucking woke.

What?You

gotta throw it inside. Hey!What the hell

do you boys think you're doing?Get off my

car. We didn't realize this was your

ride. My friend Joshua here has one just

like it. Honest mistake.

You folks have a nice day, okay?Dad.

Drop the case. We're here.

Hey! What the hell is

this?Is this from you?No, it wasn't us.

Honest. It was already there.

We're not even throwing a party this

weekend. Then who left it?I don't know,

Professor. Maybe you and your daughter

are pissing off more people than you

think.

Get out of here. Bye,

Sarah.

Get in the car. Now.

Well

I can have a glass of wine. Uh, no.

You are not 21. Not at all. Drink that

cranberry juice.

Wayne. Guys,

look who came to join us.

Oh. Wayne, I don't remember

scheduling to pick up tonight. Uh, no,

sir. Well, actually, I'm I'm just here

to-- He's here to study with Sarah.

Yes. Oh, really?

Study?

Would y'all grow up, OK?He

offered to come over and help me study

after I had to leave class early because

of Athena. Oh.

Spin the check, I'll make it back Pocket

full like a hundred racks Money grown,

I'll make it flip Go run down for a deal

Then I want no smoke

Then I want no

smoke

Go, Wayne! Oh, uh,

I think that's me. Oh.

Uh.. Oh, it's just

Jordan. I will call her back, uh, later.

All right, well, let's go.

Good seeing you guys. Yeah, Wayne. All

righty. Hi,

you've reached Wayne Sanders. I'm not

able to come to the phone right now

because I'm probably doing something

extremely convoluted. Please leave your

name, number, and a brief message, and

I'll call you right back. Bye. Help.

Help me. Help!

Now, Professor Stakoff may come off as

hard, but she's actually really sweet

once you get to know her. Yeah, well,

judging by those lectures, she plays that

role very well.

Uh, so, um, your sister seems

pretty close with your dad. Were you, uh,

closer with your mom?Um, yeah.

I took after my mom more than Chris.

My mom could be a bit hard at times, but

she generally meant well.

Yeah, um, so how old were

you when, you know, she and your dad got

divorced?That's a little personal, don't

you think?Uh, yeah, yeah

no, you're-- you're right. I'm-- I'm

sorry. I didn't mean to offend you or

anything like that. You don't have to

answer that if you're not-- No, you know

what?It's It's OK.

Umm I was 13, and Chris was 11 when my

dad took the job here at the university.

I always blamed him for leaving, but

I know my mom didn't make it easy for him

to stay. The messed

up part is this whole thing with Jeff. It

just made us closer.

Well, tragedy and trauma tends to have

that effect. Make or break, you know

Yeah, exactly.

You know, you're pretty easy to

talk to. Well, you

know, being a science major tends to

build your observation and comprehension

skill set, so...

And plus,

you're pretty easy to listen to.

ohh Man, sorry.

Jordan had called me. I completely

forgot.

Oh, my God. Wait, what is

it?

Oh, Jordan.

Oh, Jordan. Thank you

for doing this. I understand Jordan's

family is currently out of state. Uh,

yeah. Yeah, they're trying to get here as

quickly as they could, but they're

they're selling from somewhere in the

Bahamas. I think...

Was Jordan acquaintances with Diana alone?

Uh..

no, no not really. Why?You

think the two deaths could be related?No,

No not necessarily. And perhaps this is

all just a strange coincidence, but it's

been years since we've had a suicide in

Crystal Cove, and now we potentially have

two within the same week. Um,

I-I think there's something you should

hear.

Wait.

Wait

Okay, so, what are you trying to tell me?I

mean, I'm trying to tell you that I don't

think Jordan would have purposefully done

this to herself. I mean, she even says,

Help, for God's sakes.

So, you think Jordan Coe was

murdered?Yeah. Yes.

By who?Jeffrey Clark. You think

Jeffrey Clark was involved in Jordan's

accident?Yes, and Diana Long's.

Why?What would be his motive?To shut us

up. Diana had a case against him years

ago. Yes, which was settled outside of

court. Okay, and Jordan was there the

night he assaulted me. That's

a bit of a stretch. The house was filled

with students. Okay, well, if it wasn't

him, then it was one of his lackeys, like

Rick Smith. Miss Arnold, we know for a

fact that all Diana Long's injuries were

self-inflicted. And as for Jordan Coe, I

walked that crash site myself. There were

no signs of foul play, and there were no

tire marks on that road, which generally

indicates that the driver didn't hit the

brakes, which means intention.

And there were no signs of someone else

being in that car with her. So you do

believe she committed suicide?I'm not

prepared to say that conclusively at this

time. We're still waiting to get a

toxicology report and mechanical analysis

to figure out if there was any

stimulating circumstances or vehicular

malfunction. But what I can tell you

is that no one ran her off the road last

night. Now, you two have

undoubtedly been through a lot of stress.

Why don't you go get some rest and leave

this matter to us, okay?

Nick, this is-- this is some bullshit

Look, I'm sorry, Layden, this is. Come

here.

So, what are you thinking?

I mean, it's weak, but I think let's get

to be on to something. I mean, there's

more to these deaths that meets the eye.

It is possible that Geoffrey Clark

intimidated our two victims somehow. But

does intimidation equate to homicide?

I mean, there's only one way to find out.

Come on, you're riding with me. Allright.

You know, I've been on tour since we were

15, and I promise you, she would never

purposefully do this to herself.

You know what I think?I think the cops

are probably just in the pockets of the

clutch, just like everybody else in the

city. Maybe that's it. Maybe we just have

to get something so big on Jeff that they

have to investigate. Yeah, Yeah I mean,

you can't get as rich and powerful as the

clutch without at least having some

skeletons in the closet. But

first, I have to get back into contact

with Jordan's parents. Yeah, of course.

Maybe that's it. Relatives. Diana,

I mean, she was isolated from everybody

on campus, right?But it has to be

somebody she was close to, somebody she

confided in. I mean, somebody who knows

exactly what Jeff and his family did to

her. Yeah, yeah, and then maybe they

could shed a bit more light on exactly

what we're dealing with here. Yeah, let's

hope so.

You can tell us where we can find your

son. What do you want to know about my

son?We'd just like to get a statement

from him regarding the death of another

CCU student, Jordan Kauf. I assure you,

my son had nothing to do with it. Well,

you'd like to hear that from him. Well,

then, I hope you have your passport

ready, because you'll have to catch the

next flight to Amsterdam. Your son is the

center of an assault investigation. He

should not have left the country, Mrs.

Clark. By my understanding, he wasn't

under arrest. So he's free to do as he

wants. Good day, Mrs. Clark. Good day.

Oh, please let your captain know. I look

forward to seeing him at this year's

fundraiser.

Let's try talking to Timothy Smith and

Athena Bella again. Maybe we can get

something out of him.

So, basically, Dad, they told us there's

nothing they can do. Just seems a

little hard to believe, sweetie. Look,

don't get me wrong. I know that Jordan

was your friend, and I want to take the

Clarks down as much as you do. But murder?

Yes, Dad. Look, I don't know how, but

I know Jeffrey Clark has something to do

with it. I mean, Jordan is just not the

kind of girl that would do something like

that to herself. There really isn't a

specific type with this, honey. I mean,

people are really good at hiding what

they're going through. Yeah, but...

Sarah's right, Dad. Jordan was very

vivacious and high-spirited. She wasn't

the type to take life for granted. I'm

telling you, they did something. They

threatened her. It's something just like

they tried to do to us. What?

What is she talking about?It's nothing,

sweetie. It's not a big deal. It's just

some jocks trying to show off. But I

handled it. Well,

they left this.

on Dad's car today.

Drop the case?Telling us to drop the case

is not just showing off, Dad, it's

intimidation. Charles, I don't like

this. This is definitely intimidation.

I think we should just consider that--

No, look, we're not dropping the case,

okay?The Clarks can't continue to get

away with stuff like this. What about the

next girl this happens to?I don't care

about the next girl. I'm worried about

the two that are sitting right here, and

they have been through a lot.

Okay. How about this?

I will take this down to the police

station and talk to the detective. Let's

hear what he has to say. If he thinks

there's a link, they'll pursue it.

Okay. Okay

You said there's a left on your car?Yes.

When?The day of the Jordan

coaccident. Why?Could this be

connected to everything?I can't say for

sure, but this is not the first fire we

found. Really?So should we

be worried?Honestly, I

don't really know just yet.

Have you seen this fire before?Yeah, I

saw a few of them on campus, but those

were not ours. We didn't even have a

party that night. So I suppose you

didn't. Write this message on the back,

right?Nope. What

do you think it means?Drop the case?

I don't know. Maybe it's a message to

Sarah Donald to drop her case against

Jeff Clark. I mean, it's not rocket

science. Why'd you say that?

I saw one just like it on Professor

Donald's car. That specific

flyer was located in Jordan Coe's car the

night of her accident. Look, man, that

ain't got nothing to do with me. I don't

know who printed those out. I told you.

We weren't even planning a party for that

night. Did Jeffrey Clark ask you and your

frat brothers to pressure Sarah Donald to

drop in her case?No. What about Diana

Long?Did you pressure her ass hard?Oh my

God, this is getting crazy. Look, bro, I

don't know what you're getting at, but I

didn't do anything. I'm not saying you

did. I'm simply asking if Jeff,

your frat brother, might have asked you

for some help. Do I

need to call my lawyer?

I don't know. Do you?

Yeah?Hey. Can I come

in?

Mm-hmmWhat's up?I thought she was in bed

already. Well, I wasn't tired, and I

wanted to come check on you. What are you

doing?I'm just looking for Diana's

friends and family. Did you

find anything?

She don't really have any recent posts on

social media.

Maybe something. Her sister,

maybe?Well,

why are you stalking her?

Wayne and I just thought it might give

some insight into whatever was going

on between her and Jeff. I mean,

if he threatened her or something.

Sarah, considering what you said at the

dinner table and what they left on Dad's

car, and then what happened to Jordan and

Diana, maybe Brittany was right.

Maybe we should just let all of this go.

What?Why?Because

if what you're saying is true and Jeff

was responsible for their murders,

then this is dangerous for us.

I'm scared. I lost Mom,

and I don't want to lose you, too. Chris,

that's not gonna happen. I'm not going

anywhere. Look, if Mom was here,

she would want me to take Jeff down.

She raised us not to take shit from

nobody.

Okay, fine.

What do you need help with?I need you to

put that big brain to work. And find me

BeautifulDisaster92. I ain't

gonna do that. You know, I didn't do

it. I say it, bro. I say don't...

Hey, come on, bro. Give us your key. I'll

do it. I'm telling you, I'm good. You

sure?Yes, come on. All of y'all have seen

me way more wasted than this before, and

I made it home just fine. I'm telling

you, I'm good. Trust me, he did that.

Plus, I got some old coffee in my car

from earlier, so... Now, meet your

pussy's back in the house. All right,

he's fine, he's fine. Let him do his

thing, yo, let's roll, let's roll.

He's chilling. Roll down the window, it's

hot.

Get in your car, fool.

What are you doing?Chill.

Get-- Get in the car. Get him

safe, bro. Later.

you won't believe it. Just from this

title, I know this video can be all over

the place. Coming up. Being a celebrity

requires you to change your body. I

kind

of

been working it. Time to get beautiful,

bitchWow, beautiful

Girl, rough night?

Help me. Athena?Athena, are you

okay?Athena?Athena, where are you going?

Athena, what's going on?Are you and Rick

fighting again?

That's the garage, sis. We don't mess

with things in there.

Athena, that's Dad! Athena! Athena,

what are you

doing to open the door?

Hey.

Yeah, you you scared me. Sorry.

It's It's okay. No, it took me like three

hours to set that whole thing up, but

what's up?We found her.

Elaboration?Diana's sister, she lives

45 minutes away, so you up for a road

trip?Yeah, sure, why not?Good, 'cause

you driving. I'm for real.

So, what's Diana's sister's name?Tabitha.

Apparently, she owns some kind of flower

shop or something just north of here. I'm

really just hoping she has some answers

for us. Yeah.

Fingers crossed. Yeah.

Excuse me?Uh, we're looking for Tabitha

Long.

Hi, I'm Tabitha. Hi,

um, I'm Sarah Donald. I was roommates

with your sister Diana. Oh, yeah,

hi. I'm glad to meet you. It's

good to meet you, too. Uh, this is Wayne

Sanders. Hey, how you doing?Uh, we're

very sorry for your loss.

Yeah, thank you. it's

been really hard, you know

Diana was such an amazing person.

We're still planning the details of her

funeral, but if you want to leave your

number, I can call you with the

information. Please do. Yeah.

Um.. I, um,

actually wanted to ask you a few

questions about Diana's dealing with

Jeffrey Clark and his family. What?

We know that there was some kind of

incident between Jeffrey and Diana.

Wait, how do you know my...

Who are you again and how did you know my

sister?I was her roommate for a short

time at Crystal Cove. She never

mentioned you to me. And we weren't

exactly close. Right.

So how did you find me?And how do I know

that the Clarks didn't send you?They've

sent their spies and PIs before. Because

I was assaulted by Jeffrey Clark too.

And we believe he might have something to

do with Diana's death and our friend

Jordan's.

You two need to leave. Please, I didn't

mean to offend you. You need to get out

of my store and never contact me again.

Look, I just want to know, did they

harass you?I said get out before I call

the police. Okay, okayHey, we're

going. Now. No, we got you. Uh,

sorry for bothering you.

Well, that couldn't have went worse.

We have a problem.

Oh, shoot. I'm around the back.

Uh, hey. I'm sorry

again that things didn't go as we hoped,

but, I mean, I think if you look on the

bright side-- What bright side?She kicked

us out of her shop and told us to never

contact her again. She was our last

hope at finding out the truth. Right,

but, I mean, the fact that she had such

an emotional response to what we had to

say, I mean, I I think it means that

we're on the right track or headed in the

right direction.

Okay, Mr. Glass Half Fool.

Thank you for coming with me, though.

Yeah, of course. Um..

I'm glad I was there.

Professor Donald, uh, we were just, um..

Um, Wayne was just bringing me home. Hey,

hey, yes?It's none of my business, and

two are young adults. I just need you to

move your car, Wayne. Where you going?

Need to run to the office. There seems to

be some issue with our inventory. I mean,

I could tag along if you want. I mean,

maybe just help-- Oh, no, I think you

should probably go home and treat

yourself to a nice cold shower.

The timing, right?Um, sorry about

that. Yeah. So, I'll see you tomorrow?

Yeah, yeahI like that. Tomorrow. Okay.

Hey, Wayne?Carr.

You're right. You're right. You're right,

Professor. I got you. Yep. Mr. D.

Okay, well, I'll see ya. I'll

s-- I'm okay. I'm okay.

Seems to be...

Yeah.

Chris! Chris! Chris, get up!

We gotta call if somebody's in the house.

What?Come on!

What?What about Brittany?Damn.

Look, okay, um, you go to the neighbors

and call the police and I'll go check

them. No, I'm coming with you. You can't.

Why?Look, you're a smart one, right?So

I need you to go to the neighbors and

call the police. Okay, but hurry up.

Brittany.

Brittany.

Brittney.

Brittney, you here?Brittney, Brittney.

Help me.

Brittney! Put yourself on! Come on,

Brittney, please! Please somebody help

me! Help me, Brittney!

Brittany, come on, please! Somebody help

me! Please! No, no,

no Yes. Please, Brittany, Brittany,

Brittany, wake up. Please, please, please

wake up. Wake up, please.

Have you found anything?No, nothing yet.

But I have every available unit searching

the town for your sister, and we also put

out a BOLO for Jeffrey Clark.

Hey, there's this. What is this?

Sailing the Smart. It's a Wi-Fi signal

disruptor. Thieves use it to block your

Wi-Fi router from linking with their

security cameras, so there's no footage

of anyone breaking in. Son of a bitch

Hey. Hey, my God, Sarah. I got

here as quickly as I could. Is there any

update on Kristen yet?No, they still

haven't found them. Damn, I should have

been there. Oh, Dad, this is not your

fault. I mean, this is the Clarks.

Allegedly. Right now, there's still no

proof that Jeffery had anything to do-- I

can't be serious. Mr. Donald?Yeah,

how's my wife?Mrs. Donald was

touch and go there for a minute, but we

got her stabilized. She has a skull

fracture. And three broken ribs. What's

going on?Oh,

my God. Sarah,

we have... She said no cops.

Okay, so so what are you gonna do?I'm

going. You're going?Yes. Sarah,

this is obviously a trap. I don't care.

He wants me, not Kristen. And I can't let

him hurt her because of me. Look, I don't

have time to go back and forth with you.

Can you please just give me your keys?

Okay, no. What?Because I'm going with

you. No, Wayne. Yeah, no, it's just like

you said, we have no time already. So So

come on, what I say, we just, we talk

about it on the card.

Your wife is still heavily sedated, but

if you would like,You can come see her.

Yeah, of course. Sir?Um..

Let's go.

Okay, okay, okay, this is bad, okay?I

mean, who knows what kind of trap Jeff

could have us running into?I'm beginning

to think it's not just him, though. I

mean, how could he have done all that

alone?Well, I mean, we know that it

wasn't Rick or Athena helping them out,

so... What?How you know that?

Wait, what?You didn't hear?Yeah, they

died this morning.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God, should we be

worried?No, no, okay?I

won't let anything happen to you or

Kristen, okay?I promise. I just need you

to drive. I need to get to Kristen and

make sure she's safe. Okay, okay, okay,

okayLook, here's what I'm thinking, okay?

Since we know that he wants you there

alone, I'll call the cops and come in

after you, and then we'll catch you by

surprise. Okay.

OkayWe're here, we're here. I'm gonna

pull over.

Okay. Oh, uh, uh..

Here, use this.

What the hell am I supposed to do with

this?I don't know. Hide it?Use it

for protection?I mean, you cannot go in

there empty-handed.

Hey, can you just tell me that

everything's gonna be okay?Hey, look at

me. Okay?We're gonna

be okay. We can do this. I'm

gonna be right behind you.

Okay. You got this?I

got this. Dr. Statement, Dr.

Statement, please.

Why is she restrained?I'm sorry, sir. I

thought somebody informed you. Mrs.

Donald attempted to take her. I

understand what happened, but she's fine

now. No, sir. She's still very much a

danger to herself and others.

Our responding paramedics and nurses

claim she continuously tried to grab at

whatever she could to inflict self-harm.

She's definitely not in the right state

of mind. We had to sedate and restrain

her for her own safety.

Honestly, I haven't seen anything like

this before. And then there's

the smell. Smell, what?

Yes. The odor isn't as strong as it was

when she first arrived, but it still

lingers a bit. It has a chemical

element to it. Chemical?

Oh, God. Sarah. Sarah! Wow.

Damn it.

Kristen! Kristen!

Kristen!

Chris! It's

about time. I'm not a patient man, Sarah.

Sara, help

me! I'm coming! I'm

in here! Oh, my God. Thank you. He

took me from the garage and put me in the

back of his car. I thought he was gonna

kill me. Hey, I

got you. I got you.

Where the hell is she?

No!

Help.

No! No, no, noI

want to go. No!

Wayne, come on, there's nothing we could

do.

He...he said, Help me. What?

He said, Help me. Just like Jordan.

Who cares what he said?Let's just get the

hell out of here, please.

It was you. What?

That smell, it's the same

chemical compound we give to the mice.

That's how you've been able to do it.

That's how you've been able to get all

your victims to commit suicide. What?

Chris, what is he talking about?

I don't know. He's being crazy right now.

Oh, I'm crazy?I'm crazy!

Wait, stop! Stop Put the

knife down!Sarah, don't you see?

It's your sister. It's been her the whole

time. She killed Jordan, she killed

Diana, and she killed the others, too.

Chris, tell him that he's

crazy. What is he talking about?

You see?This is why I told you to come

alone, Sarah. The plan was going just

fine, and here comes good old Wayne

screwing it all up.

Chris, what's she talking about?What plan?

The plan?This plan.

Do you know how much time it took?

All the small details it took fishing the

weasel out of his hole?He wasn't out the

country. He was

at his parents' guest house this

whole time. No,

no, noChris, I saw him attacking you.

Yeah, about that.

What the hell is all this?Sarah will be

here in a moment. She's really interested

in putting that whole mess between the

two of you behind her. Can you help me

with this?So,

these ropes and the candles, the gloves,

all this is some sort of sorority

recruitment crap?Yeah, something like

that. Yeah, we

did something like this for pledges a few

years ago. Man, whatever.

Chris! It's about time, Sarah, I'm not a

patient man. Listen! Sarah,

help me! I'm in here, help!

I'm coming, listen! You lured him here,

making it look like he was attacking you,

and then once Sarah arrived, he, he

would've-- Yeah, he, he couldn't deal

with the consequences of being caught, so

he offed himself. That's right. Okay, so

then how would you go about explaining

him gaining access to your father's lab?

You're funny. He's Jeffrey Clark.

I mean, all space in Crystal Cove is his

personal space, remember?

He drug and assaulted you, Sarah.

And we all know he was gonna get away

with it, too, because he's nothing but a

spoiled rich kid. So I had to get back at

that perverted piece of shit for what he

did to you. But I don't

understand. How did you...

Wayne was right. I used the chemical

compound dad created and replicated the

sequence, tweaking it a bit to intensify

the compound's effects on the humanbrain.

I tested on Diana, and it worked better

than expected.

I mean, I hoped that would be enough to

put the suspicion on Jeff, but it didn't

work, so I posted the fake

party flyers, and whenever someone scans

the QR code... They

give you full access to their phones.

Exactly. You know, it's not

always easy being the smartest person in

the room.

Well, I killed the others. They were

innocent. Were

they?I mean, let's think about that.

Diana was too much of a scared little

bitch to press charges on Jeff. If she

didn't retract her statement, we wouldn't

have to deal with this mess in the first

place. And Jordan, who just wanted to

move on and party. And don't tell me

you're shedding a tear for Rick, Athena,

and Jeff.

Forget them, Sarah. Forget them

all.

What about Britney?Yeah, I

mean, Britney was... An unfortunate

casualty?But what's that saying?

You can't make an omelet without cracking

a few eggs, right?

Chris, you didn't have

something to do with Mom.

Sarah, I know how much she meant to you,

but Mom was a freaking

whoreShe ruined our

family. She cheated on Dad.

She used his desire to see us to make a

few extra bucks.

Ugh, bitchChris,

how could you?She loved us. No.

No, she loved you. She

tolerated me. You were her little

doll with all your cheerleading and

beauty pageants. She hated me.

She was just mad because I was

intelligent enough to see right through

her. Chris, that's not true.

I mean, once I saw Mom for the

manipulative little bitch she was, I

asked her if I could move with Dad and go

to school out here. And you know what she

said?Over my dead body.

So I granted her demand. I laced her

post-workout protein shake with a highly

concentrated and tasteless dose of

ethanol. And I knew she'd down it on her

way home from the gym, and that would be

that.

Sarah. No!

How could you?I did

all of this for you.

But that one?

That was for me. And I

know that you'll probably hate me

for it. I mean, but it was

just something I I had to do.

Just like this. You're

right in front of me. Get...

I'm

sorry.

No!

Wayne! No!

No Wayne! No! No

You have to let him go, Sarah. This is

how it has to be.

Oh, thank God. I'm so glad you two are

safe. Are you okay?He tried to kill

us, Dad. It's okay, baby. You two are

safe now.

Jeff and Wayne were working together.

They... They kidnapped me from our house,

and then they tricked Sarah into coming

here. And then they tried to kill us, but

they killed each other. They killed

Jordan and Diana and Brittany. We know,

sweetie. We know. You know what?

Your father recognized the smell of the

gas on your stepmother. He realized that

it was from a chemical he used in his

lab, and there's only one other logical

person who had access to that gas.

Logical. Never mind all that right now.

What matters is that you two are safe,

and Brittany's gonna be fine. It may take

some time, but I'm confident I'll be able

to reverse the effects of the compound

that Wayne sprayed her with. Thank God

we made it through this altogether. Yeah,

me too. Come

here. I love you, Dad.

please don't lose
