What's up, Rachels?

To Rachel Nelson,
Sweetheart Court.

Hills High forever!

What are you wearing?

Why didn't you invite me?

I was gonna call you.

It was just
a last minute thing.

Right.

I didn't think you'd wanna come.

No, I didn't.

Congratulations!

See, I can't talk to you
when you are like this.

- Like what?
- Jealous!

You think you can
just cut me out?

You can't, I made you.
We're The Rachels.

Well, maybe I don't want
to be The Rachels any more.

[Richards]
'So, you wanna,
you wanna replace me?'

'That's fine, Rachel.
You can just have it your way.'

- 'Rachel. Rachel.'

'And finally, Spanish Club
will be meeting'

'in room 14 today at 3:00 p.m.'

[Richards]
'You know, Rachel,
it's been far too long'

since we've had an excuse
to party here at Hills High.

I agree, Rachel.

The Sweetheart dance
is just around the corner

and student council will be
selling tickets

at the quad during lunch.

And voting for Sweetheart Court
starts today

and continues
through the week

so don't forget
to turn in those ballots.

Have a happy Monday,
Hills High.

These were your morning
announcements

and as always
I'm Rachel Richards.

I'm Rachel Nelson,
and together..

[in unison]
We are The Rachels.

[bell ringing]

What's wrong with you?

[sighs]
I can't find my bio notes.

If we have a quiz today,
I'm so screwed.

Oh, whatever.

Um, we need to talk about
this yearbook situation.

What yearbook situation?

The new rule that limits
how many photos you get.

Guess it's supposed
to make things

more democratic or something.

I don't know, I don't get it.

[chuckles]
I don't see the problem what..

What's the point in-in
running track and doing

morning announcements,
and joining the feminism club

if there's no photos,
that's the whole point.

Um, because we like
running track

doing the morning announcements
and women's rights.

Of course this doesn't
faze you.

I mean, you are not even
that photogenic anyway

so why would you care?

Fine, uh, I'll just be late.
Let's just go.

Ms. Seldon,
that is really not fair.

Rachel, I understand
why you might be upset

but the yearbook
is meant to represent

the entire student body

not just those in clubs
and in teams.

Well, okay,
I guess that makes sense

and we'll still be
in there plenty.

Each student gets
what, like, ten photos?

The cap is six.

Well, the cap
is a little ridiculous.

Well, it's approved
by the entire student council

and I think it's terrific.

Was this you?

Rachel.

'Cause it certainly
seems like you.

Of course you will do
something like this.

People like you
never appreciate--

Actually it was my idea.
So you can lay off Roxie.

Roxie?

Right.

[chuckles]
I'm sorry, who are you?

Tom Denvers,
the new yearbook editor.

You must be new to Hills High.

I don't think I've seen you
around school before.

Yeah, I actually just
transferred this term.

And you're already the yearbook
editor? That's impressive.

Well, you know, there's not
a lot of competition

for a job with long hours
and no pay.

[chuckles]

Well, your cap is stupid.

It's good to know.

[taps on desk]

Whoa, hey! Come on.

Not everybody needs
to be in the yearbook.

That's not what
the yearbook's for.

Actually that is exactly
what the yearbook's for.

Shh. No, it's not.

The yearbook is meant to be
for exceptional people

and that just
so happens to be us, right here.

Look, I get that you two are
the teen queens of Hills High.

You rule the school.
Congratulations.

Hey! Easy there, Mr. Editor.

Yeah, maybe we can help out
with the layouts

or, uh, uh, volunteer in
exchange for a couple of photos.

No, absolutely not.

I'm sorry,
I'm not wasting my time

in here with these people.

I have a life, Rachel.

I have followers, you know this.

Okay, well, it was nice
meeting both of you

but I have a lot of work to do.

Rachel. Rachel.

This isn't over.

Shouldn't you ladies
be in biology right now?

I hear Mr. Sanchez
is giving a quiz.

[sighs]
It's just a quiz.

[instrumental music]

[sighs]

You are photogenic.

[music continues]

[sighs]

[music continues]

[breathing heavily]

[Lyons]
'Come on, pick up
the pace, Nelson.'

'Let's see some hustle,
Richards.'

Come on, last lap.
Who wants to make steak?

[scoffs]
Like we care about steak?

Why are you running so fast?

I-I think I can do it.

No, Rachel,
what are you doing?

- 'God, Oh, my God!'
- 'Pace yourself, Martinez.'

Rachel!

[panting]

Rachel.

[instrumental music]

Oh.

Rachel, stop!

[music continues]

[camera clicking]

- Nice work, Nelson.
- Thanks.

Not your best, Richards.

Alright, ladies,
let's stretch it out.

[sighs]

[giggling]

Thanks.

Bet you loved that.

What?

Beating me.
And with an audience.

It wasn't a race,
it was just practice.

I literally just wanted to see
if I can make time.

Still you probably loved it.

I.. Do you wanna
come over tonight?

We can watch that movie
you were telling me about.

Can't. Busy.

Uh, wa.. Can I at least
get a ride home?

Rachel. Ra..

I.. What am I supposed to do,
take the bus?

Would you stop that?

Tom?

- Rachel?
- Yes.

Would you stop doing that?

- Stop what?
- Watching for it.

You do realize you won't make
it come any sooner, right?

But it makes me feel better.

Well, in that case..

...please proceed.

So no ride today?

No ride. Yeah.

Don't you usually
drive with Rachel?

And how do you know that?

You know, seen you two
together, once or twice.

Riding together.

[chuckling]

Alright, give me a break, okay?

- You guys are The Rachels.
- 'Okay, yeah, we are.'

But I mean,
like not all the times.

Oh, so she ditched you, huh?

No, she didn't ditch me.

I think she had to go
pick up her mom or something.

So she ditched you?

Rachel is my best friend.

I don't think she would
do anything to hurt me.

I-I don't even know her.

Hey, I don't even know you.

[chuckles]

No.

We should probably do
something about that.

Yeah?

Well, there is that
game on Friday.

Um..

'And I, uh, I could really
use like a student guide'

'in one of those,
one of those things.'

Are you.. Will you show me
where the game is?

Well, text me
and put in your number.

[car engine revving]

[chuckling]

Here's my number.

Hold on a second.

- Rachel, hi.
- Hi.

Are you just gonna stare at me?
Get in.

I'm not trying to get a ticket.
Come on.

Well, I thought you left.

I'm not gonna make you
take the bus like some loser.

Hey there, big guy.

- Text me.
- See ya.

[tires screeching]

Hey-hey.

Hey.

- What was that?
- Nothin'.

Hey, uh, look, I want to
apologize for earlier.

The whole thing in the yearbook
room, The Rachels

you getting blamed
for my photo cap.

Oh, um, don't worry
about that...at all.

I actually had
the same idea last year

but The Rachels got in the way.

- Like they tend to, so..
- Oh.

- So it's personal?
- Sort of.

Sorry, I'm just the, uh..

I don't mean to pry,
I'm just the curious new kid

but The Rachels seem
pretty harmless to me.

The Rachels are a lot
of things, but..

...harmless is not one of them.

[instrumental music]

- Hey.
- Hey.

Did you hear about
Rachel Nelson and Tom Denvers?

- No.
- Um.

- This weekend.
- No, what about them?

Well, they went to the game
together on Friday night

and then Jason saw them together
on Saturday night at the movies.

Didn't you see the pictures
Rachel was posting all weekend?

No.

I guess I missed it.

Oh, well, new couple alert,
just FYI.

'Oh, beautiful people's club
incoming.'

So do you think I could maybe
take you out on number three?

Maybe this week?

- Maybe.
- Maybe?

- Maybe.
- Maybe.

[Richards]
'Ooh la-la.'

How was the morning commute?

You know, I have
actually never taken the bus

'but I have heard some
pretty good things.'

Actually I drove her.
Borrowed my mom's car.

How delightfully middle class.

You ready? We got
morning announcements?

Let's go. Good to see you.

- I'll see you later.
- Later.

[instrumental music]

[crickets chirping]

[scoffs]

[Nelson]
'Sweetheart Court voting
is now closed'

'although tickets
are still available.'

Uh, members of the court will be
announced today during lunch.

Stay golden, Hills High,
I'm Rachel Nelson

with Rachel Richards,
and we're The Rachels.

What is wrong with you?

What exactly was that?

What?

I just wanted to see
what you'd do.

Why?

You did it without me, Rachel.

- You don't need me.
- What did you want me to do?

I literally had to say
something, you just sat there.

[sighs]

Look..

...I know you're upset.

Just because Tom and I
are getting closer, I mean..

...that doesn't change
anything between us.

We're still The Rachels.

It's our thing.

[instrumental music]

'We good?'

- 'Best friends?'
- BFFs.

[chuckling]

Okay, now, come on.

Let's go hear our names
get called again.

Hey, Hills High,
how's everyone doing today?

[applauding]

'As student council president,
I'm excited to announce'

that the following young ladies
will represent the junior class

on this year's Sweetheart Court.

"Dana Olsen.

'"Anna Cardwell.'

And Rachel Nelson."

'Yay, congratulations,
ladies!'

[chuckles]

So would this be a good time
to ask you to the dance?

[chuckles]

It's like a real life
romance novel.

Swoon. Seriously smooth.

She's gonna get
Sweetheart Queen for sure.

Oh, Rachel, I'm sorry,
I-I didn't see you there.

Awkward!

[camera clicking]

[indistinct chatter]

[dramatic music]

Rachel?

Rachel?

'Rachel?'

Sorry, I-I was just
looking for Rachel.

Um, the other Rachel though,
not you.

Even though I guess no one
really calls you Rachel anymore.

There is no room at Hills High
for three Rachels, right?

[scoffs]
I can't believe she ever
said that to you.

I can't believe I stood there
and let her say that to you.

I know it doesn't mean much,
but I'm really sorry.

I was just in the quad
for the Sweetheart noms.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

Um, I voted for you.

Yeah?

Uh, you know, I-I meant
to talk to you earlier, um

do you wanna come
to the Sweetheart celebration?

Um..

- Sure.
- Yeah?

Cool.. It's at my place Friday
night.

- What about Rachel?
- What about her?

Well, won't she be mad
that I'm there?

[chuckles]

You know, I am just,
I'm so sick of everyone thinking

we're like this package deal.

I am my own person,
I have my own life

I can do things without her.

Okay, just..

...be careful, Rachel.

With Tom and Sweetheart
and everything.

What do you mean?

She's not your friend...Rachel.

Um, I'll see you in class.

[door opening]

[door closing]

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

[sniffles]

[grunting]

[glass shattering]

[sniffles]

[school bell ringing]

I love your hair, Rachel.

Nelson, Nelson, I'm so excited
about the news.

- Thank you.
- I'll see you in Sacramento.

Yes, for sure.

I'm sorry, why would you be
caught dead in Sacramento?

Track. Next month.

Uh-huh?

Uh, state championships.

I-I qualified.

When the hell
did all this happen?

Did I not tell you?

Yeah, um, you definitely
never mentioned it to me.

Uh, Coach Lyons
told me after practice

like right after you left.

Mm-hmm.

He was pretty pissed
you took off, by the way.

Let's go.

[Nelson]
'Congrats to the Hills High
track team and those members'

who'll be attending
the state championships

in Sacramento.

Yes, congratulations!
Go Celts.

Anyway, these were your morning
announcements, Hills High.

- I am Rachel Richards.
- I'm Rachel Nelson.

- We're The Rachels.
- We're The Rachels.

Oh, my outfit selfie
just got 500 likes.

How many followers
do you have now?

- 'I don't know.'
- Liar.

Hey, what's the most amount
of likes you've ever gotten?

Um...maybe 50.

Ooh, you do realize
if you're not branding yourself

on social media,
it's kinda like you don't exist.

Yeah, sure.

You didn't post anything

'about your big news.'

Sacramento.

I don't know, I guess I just

didn't really wanna make
a big deal out of it.

- That's smart.
- What?

Because nobody cares
about track.

Are you actually gonna go
to Sacramento?

- Yeah, I was planning on it.
- Hm.

Because I was kinda thinking
that we should quit.

'I mean, there is not really
any point in us doing it.'

'It's not like they're gonna use
those photos in the yearbook.'

I-I can't quit.
I'm-I'm gonna go to state.

Do whatever you want.

[chuckles]

Well, where are you going?

Biology, obviously, come on.

Well, I was actually,
I was gonna maybe, uh

stop by Yearbook.

I was talking to Tom--

God, you're so annoying
sometimes.

- Sorry.
- Stop apologizing, it's weak.

'Come on.'

Oh, my God,
are you coming or not?

Nelson,
where's your better half?

I don't know.

[whistle blows]
Nelson!

I don't know!

[Roxie]
'Yeah, if you get Dustin
to cover the science fair'

I can take the Sweetheart dance.

Sure, you don't mind shooting
the dance?

No.

What if you have a date?
Won't he mind?

Um, well, yeah, anyway thank you
for giving up your night.

Yeah. Yeah, no problem.

[sighs]

[Tom sighs]

[scoffs]
The Rachel.

It's funny, you know,
that doesn't really have

the same ring to it, does it?

I think we got off
on the wrong foot.

Okay.

Friends?

Uh, sure.

Good.

So we should celebrate.

You know,
being new friends and all.

Okay.

What about Friday?

Uh, Rachel and I already
have plans on Friday.

'The other Rachel.'

Figured she would
have told you.

Oh, she did.

I just thought
that maybe you'd wanna do

something with me instead.

Uh..

[chuckles]
Yeah, no, I'm not canceling
on Rachel.

- You sure?
- Yeah, I'm sure.

Um, in fact, I promised her
that I will meet her

after track practice,
I should get going.

Well, practice doesn't end
until 4:00.

Guess, I'll be early then.

See ya.

Okay.

Bye, Tom.

Bye, Rachel.

[door closing]

[sighs]

[metal clanking]

Oh, it's you.

What do they call you again?

Is it Randy?

'I can't really remember.'

Roxie.

Roxie.

That's strange.

Kinda like you.

I'm sorry,
are you, are you gonna stay?

Just 'cause Tom left,
and now I'm leaving

so who will you stare at?

That's why you do this, right?

So you can stare at him,
Tom, the dreamboat.

Does he even know your name?

Your real name, that is?

He turned you down.

- What?
- He turned you down.

You know, don't think for
one second that you matter.

Roxie, you're nothing.

You're no one.

You're just invisible.

Why are we doing this ourselves?

We should have
gone to Melrose.

Hm?

- Rachel.
- What?

Who are you texting?

I'm sorry, it was just Tom,
he was just being funny.

Someday my face is gonna be
all over this magazine.

You wanna be like them?

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess I'd like
to be famous too.

I think it would suit me.

[scoffs]

Would it really?

Yeah, sure, why not?

I guess you do love being
the center of attention.

- So do you.
- Everyone does.

Everyone wants what they have.

Tacky style and fake boobs.

Power.

Fame is power.

Fame is fleeting.

Not if you plan it right?

And you'd plan it right?

If I ever had what they had..

...I wouldn't let it go.

I'd hold on so tight
I just wouldn't let it go.

If you do it right,
fame can be forever.

[instrumental music]

[Richards]
We're The Rachels.

[Nelson]
Well, maybe I don't wanna be

The Rachels any more.

[Richards] Fine, Rachel, you can just have it your way.

[Nelson screaming]

[Sami]
'Good evening,
tonight I'm standing outside'

'Co-Vista Towers.'

'An exclusive complex in
Los Angles coastal area.'

'But wealth and privilege cannot
disguise the fact that tonight'

'this is the scene
of a tragedy.'

Rachel Nelson, a junior
at Hills High School

has fallen to her death
from the roof

of this glamorous complex.

'Nelson, a popular student
was a star-track runner'

'and had just been named to her
high school Sweetheart Court.'

Moments ago
I was able to speak to

two of Rachel's closest friends

to hear more about
what happened here tonight.

[Ashley]
'It was nothing crazy.'

It was just a bunch of friends
together.

Sweetheart nominations just came
out, and Rachel

she-she just
wanted to celebrate.

Rachel was gonna be queen.

Thank you both
for talking to me.

I know this must be
incredibly hard.

'Rachel Nelson's best friend,
Rachel Richards'

was also present at this party.

The two girls were known on
campus as social media starlets

collectively known as
The Rachels.

'Richards was taken in to police
custody for questioning.'

'However a police spokesperson
has denied'

'that Richards is a suspect
at this time.'

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

I am a star.

[music continues]

With Rachel Nelson's death now
officially ruled accidental

the students here at
Hills High School

will be returning to class today

following last Friday's
tragic event.

'Due to the overwhelming
interest from our viewers'

'regarding this tragic case'

I spoke with Nelson's best
friend, Rachel Richards

as part of an exclusive
interview

which will be airing
later this week.

It still doesn't seem real,
you know.

But how does something like this
just happen.

Guess, we'll find out with
Rachel's exclusive interview.

Are you kidding me?

Wanna go get a coffee?

Well, yeah, please.

[sighs]

[sobbing]

[Richards]
'Missing my BFF'

but she is looking down on me.

Hashtag blessed.

Hashtag grief.

No, no.

'Hashtag lucky to be alive.'

[Richards]
'Good morning, Hills High,
this is Rachel Richards'

'and before I read
the morning announcements'

'I would like for us to have
a moment of silence'

'for my best friend,
Rachel Nelson.'

[instrumental music]

[clears throat]

I hope the tragedy
of Rachel's death

can bring us all closer together

and that my exclusive interview
with Sami Summers

airing this Thursday
at 7:00 p.m.

will answer any lingering
questions

about this difficult chapter
in my life.

Thank you.

[clears throat]

Lacrosse team trials
begin today.

You can meet Coach Linley
on the field at 4:00 p.m.

The Sweetheart dance is right
around the corner

and tickets are still on sale,
so make sure you get those.

Happy Monday, Hills High.

You know they offered me
an interview too.

- Really?
- Yeah.

And?

No, I can never do
something like that.

You really liked her?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, I-I was just getting
to know her, but yeah.

Yeah, I liked Rachel.

A lot.

You know, she talked
about you too.

- Really?
- Yeah.

You know, she really wasn't
anything like Richards

once you got to know her.

I mean, all that like
superficial, shallow

I don't know, Instagram stuff,
I mean, that wasn't her.

She was really sweet.

Richards on the other hand

she's not the type to let any
attention pass her by, is she?

No.

If no one's looking

what's the point
of doing anything?

[scoffs]

Alright, team,
huddle up, here we go.

Okay, Johnson, Martinez, Nash.

Congratulations,
you all made state.

Ladies, I know you are gonna
make it next year

We'll be a stronger team.

[clears throat]

Rachel, I'm glad you came.

Uh, the team would love to have
you back if you are up for it.

Yeah, um, I think that'd be,
that'd be really good for me.

Help me keep my mind off
of things.

Alright.

Alright, ladies,
let's go warm up.

- Hey, coach.
- Yes.

Are you still going to
Sacramento next week?

Yeah, the state championships

uh, few of our runners
qualified.

Rachel was supposed to go.

Maybe, I,
I could go in her place.

As like a tribute.

Um, well, we'll have to see,
Rachel, I, uh..

I don't know all the rules,
but that sounds nice.

- Thanks, coach.
- Okay, go warm up.

Alright.

[indistinct chatter]

[camera clicking]

Roxie!

Get one of me warming up.

[clears throat]

- What?
- Act natural.

What, I, I'm sorry,
I don't know what you mean.

Oh, and when you use this
for the yearbook

I already have
the perfect caption.

You can put,
"Rachel Richards limbers up

ready to run for the memory
of her very best friend."

Was that too wordy?

So, you're just back
on the team?

I am. Breaking news.

Feel free to spread it
amongst your friends.

[scoffs]
Oh, wait.

- Do you have any?
- I do.

- Hmm.
- Do you?

You know, subtlety is really
not your strength, Roxie.

If you have something to say,
just say it.

You're just back on the team
as if nothing happened.

It's called grief chic.

You know, death doesn't have
to be such a downer.

- Don't talk like that.
- Like what?

Come on, Roxie, I'm giving this
place what it needs.

It needs a little drama,
a little mystery.

Plus America loves a tragedy.

Did you get the shot?

Oh, yeah, and just in case

'you didn't know, Roxie'

this is my good side.

[dramatic music]

Rachel, oh, hey, hi,
how are you doing?

I'm okay, Ms. Seldon,
thank you.

Um, is it okay if I talk
to Tom really quick?

- Sure, dear.
- Okay.

Uh, Tom.

What's up?

You didn't call me.

What?

After the funeral.

I thought
you were gonna call me.

Oh, yeah, I didn't really feel
much like talking.

Can we go for a walk?

I'm kind of busy right now.

Tom, please, I really need
someone to talk to.

Please.

Yeah, okay.

I, um..

I was just wondering
if you had been working on

uh, some sort of memorial
for Rachel?

- You mean for the yearbook?
- Yeah.

Yeah, I thought it would be,
it would be pretty lovely

if you dedicated
a little section to her.

Yeah. Yeah,
that's actually a nice idea.

Well, I, I have lots of photos
of us that I could send you.

It really wouldn't be a problem
at all.

It'd be a nice idea, right?
Just a..

A section dedicated
to The Rachels.

With our clubs and
morning announcements and track.

I have lots of photos
and drawings.

Actually, I've, I've been
working on a poem

I could send to you.

Yeah, I, I don't know
I'm just the editor.

Well, yeah, but..

Ms. Seldon will listen to you,
she always does.

Tom, no one is gonna say
no to us, okay?

Plus, um, well,
I can't say much right now

because it is very early
in the process

but there is a bit of interest
at a small publishing agency

and I thought
it would be nice if

if we had something
to show them.

Like a mock-up of some sort.

You okay?

Photographers.

[camera shutters clicking]

Um, I, I should
get back to work.

- Hey, Tom.
- Yeah.

My interview with Sami Summers
is gonna be on TV

this Thursday at seven

would you wanna come over
and watch it with me?

I, maybe, I-I don't know.

Okay, well, just think about it.

I'll let you know.

See you.

[Richards]
Life is for the living.

Hashtag The Rachels.

- Wait!
- 'Oh, hey, Roxie.'

[Roxie]
'She's on Sweetheart Court now?'

When did this happen?

Rachel thought it was what
Rachel Nelson would've wanted.

For her to take her place.

Well,
the interview is on tonight.

I know. She invited me over
to her house to watch it.

I think she's having some sort
of a viewing party or something.

Of course she is. Ugh.

I guess it's part of her
grieving process.

Yeah, but don't you think
she almost seems..

- What, happy?
- Yes!

She's wearing black clothes,
she's crying on cue

but at the same time,
I mean, she's trying to turn

the yearbook into some
shrine to The Rachels.

Coach Lyons is starting
a petition for her

to get back on the state team

which she was never
qualified for

and now she just replaced Nelson
for Sweetheart Court, I mean..

Do people not find this
disturbing?

Yes! Yeah, I do.

I mean,
her best friend just died

and she's making it
all about herself.

That's Richards for you.

And people like her
do not change, ever.

Let's watch the interview
at my house tonight.

Oh, come on, like I was ever
really gonna go over

to Rachel Richards' house
for viewing party.

I mean, I don't know that.

[chuckles]

- Ready?
- Yeah.

[instrumental music]

Good evening,
I'm Sami Summers

and I'm joined tonight
by Rachel Richards

in her very first exclusive

television interview.

Rachel, thank you so much
for being here.

Of course, thank you
for having me, Sami.

Now, I wanna talk about
that night.

Why did you go to
Rachel Nelson's home?

[Sami]
'Why did you go to
Co-vista Towers?'

[Richards]
'Well, I,
I was Rachel's best friend.'

She had been nominated to
the Hills High Sweetheart Court

and I never got the chance
to congratulate her one-on-one.

So you go to Co-vista Towers,
but according to security

you don't sign in
at the front desk.

'Why not?'

Well, I had been there
a million times..

I kind of assumed
that they knew who I was

and I was excited,
I wanted to see Rachel

so I just hopped in an elevator
and went to her apartment.

So you see Rachel?

What did you talk about?

Um, we just, uh,
we talked about normal things.

We talked about sweetheart

um, we talked about school
and friends.

So you would categorize it
as a friendly conversation.

Oh, absolutely, yes.

We do have a report
of a neighbor

overhearing an argument,
raised voices from the roof

as well as other partygoers

saying the two of you
seemed tense.

Oh, no. We were not tensed.

I mean, they might have heard
some squealing and-and shouting

but that's because
we were excited.

There was absolutely no
fighting, no arguments, nothing.

So I want you to take me
back to the roof.

[dramatic music]

I know this is difficult
for you, Rachel

but I do need you to talk about
what happened on that roof deck.

I tried to stop her.

What did she just say?

I tried to stop her,
but I-I couldn't

she was determined, she..

She was fed up with everything,
she was fed up with school

and boys, and..

And then she told me
that she loved me

'and I was her best friend and
I always would be, and then..'

I'm sorry, Sami, I can't.

Uh, you do understand
that the police have ruled

Rachel Nelson's death
as accidental.

I know that she didn't mean it.

And the police report compiled
with your help

has firmly stated that
Rachel Nelson fell accidentally

from the railing
of the roof deck.

I wanted to protect Rachel.

I wanted to protect her memory
and her family

but now I owe it to myself
as a survivor..

...to tell the truth.

[Roxie]
'She's lying.'

'No, Tom, [...........].'

Total [...........].
Do you see what I mean now?

I'm not making it up
but she's faking it.

The entire thing, and now
she wants people to believe

'it's a suicide,
it's ridiculous.'

It was an accident.

Well, she just fell.

I don't know.

I mean, maybe, maybe..

- Maybe Rachel did jump.
- 'No.'

Maybe, maybe she was unhappy
and I just didn't see it.

We both know Rachel.
She wouldn't have jumped.

That's [...........].

Yeah, the only two people
who really know

what happened that night.

And one of them is dead.

[music continues]

I have to talk to Rachel.

Just have so many e-mails
to return.

Okay, look, I can't say
much again, but..

...Mark Burnett wants
an interview with me.

- I'm sorry, who?
- 'Mark Burnett.'

You don't know
who Mark Burnett is?

No.

He basically invented
"Survivor."

- Look, I wanted to--
- Wait, wait, what is that?

Oh, my God, that is not

that is not almond milk,
I asked for a drink--

Uh, it's, yeah, it's soy.

Oh, my God, Tom.

Look, Rachel

can you not, just for one second
can we please just talk?

I knew this was gonna happen.

You're mad about the interview.

Tom, that's exactly why
I wanted you to come over.

I wanted to explain everything,
so we could be on the same page.

What do you mean,
the same page?

Look..

Did Rachel really
commit suicide?

I never, I never said that.

Actually I was very careful
never to use the word suicide.

People really don't like
that word.

Rachel, please.

I..

I just don't understand
what's happening.

You said one thing to the police
and then you give this interview

and you say something completely
different, and it's like--

Tom, Tom, everything is gonna
make sense, okay?

You have to trust me.

And you know I was thinking that

I really want you to be
a part of it all.

Don't you think it would make
for a bittersweet ending

if the two of us form
some sort of friendship?

Maybe even more.

Can you please just tell me
the truth?

Was what you said in that
interview really true?

I mean whatever, right?

People who tell the truth
on network television

Tom, they don't get book deals
or, or reality shows

or even become president.

This is just the beginning
for me.

'The beginning for us.'

Don't you see it?

[cell phone chimes]

Is that mine?

Um, I need to take this,
but it was great talking to you

and let's get together later
for, um

the yearbook stuff, okay?

Hi. Oh, my God,
did you see it?

[dramatic music]

Okay, so she is
completely crazy.

So she wants everyone to think
that it's a suicide

because it makes it
more dramatic.

Yeah, it's a publicity stunt.

Dude, she's only doing this
to put the spotlight on her.

She's completely taken over
Rachel's life.

And it's working.
That's what she's always wanted.

She's like creating her own

grieving best friend
reality show.

It's her dream come true.

So what if we make it
her nightmare.

What do you mean?

I mean, she's always been
jealous of Nelson.

Were they ever even
really friends?

It's high school.

Friends, enemies,
it's like the same thing.

What if we don't let her
get away with it?

What if we make Rachel Nelson

the most popular girl
in school again?

[Roxie]
First, we need
to discredit her.

She's the only one saying

what actually happened
that night.

[Tom]
'Okay, se we take away
her control.'

[Roxie]
'Exactly.'

There's other people
that partied. What did they see?

What did they hear?
What do they know?

Make them doubt Rachel,
or, uh, at least

talk to them,
confess out a story.

And then,
we resurrect Rachel Nelson.

Why is this so important to you?

I mean, were you and Rachel
even really friends?

She wouldn't say that, but yeah.

What do you mean?

Roxie is actually a nickname.

Yeah, I like it. Suits you.

Freshman year,
The Rachels was actually

Richards, Nelson and me.

We've been friends for as long as I can remember.

We were The Rachels.

All three of us,
and yeah, we like

teased each other
and stuff, but..

All of a sudden, one day
it went from three to two.

I don't know where..

There is no room in Hills High
for three Rachels.

[Roxie]
They completely cut me out.

It was as if I had
never existed.

[dramatic music]

They made me invisible.

Nobody saw me
as a Rachel anymore.

- So..
- Hey, I'm with you.

Let's do this.

I mean,
I just think it's strange.

The interview and everything,
it's..

Richards was not the only person
at the party.

- Well, you were there, right?
- Yeah.

And you even made it on TV
with Sami Summers?

- Wait, you saw that?
- I did.

But, Ashley,
what did you see that night?

[Ashley]
I don't know,
Rachel Nelson and Tom

were on the couch
the whole night

and then Richard showed up

and then everything changed.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

[Ashley]
Richards was really mad.

[Roxie]
Oh, yeah? Like, how mad?

[Ashley]
Like, really mad.

I've never seen her
like that before.

[male #2]
'What's up, Rachels?'

'Hey, to Rachel Nelson,
Sweetheart Court.'

Hills High forever!

[all]
'Hills High forever!'

[all cheering]

Yeah, Richards was definitely
pissed off.

Yeah.

I didn't see anything.

I mean, we all went downstairs

once The Rachels came out.

Um, maybe we should go back
downstairs.

[Nelson]
'I didn't think
you'd wanna come.'

[Richards]
'No, I, I didn't.'

'Congratulations.'

See, I-I can't, I can't talk to
you when you are like this.

- Like what?
- Jealous.

[Richards]
'You think you can just
cut me out?'

You can't. I made you.

You know, they were fighting,
and I like heard a bit of it

but they were really fighting.

I knew Richards
was mad about state but

it kind of seemed like
it was more than that.

Like, enough that
she would push her?

No way, man.
They're best friends.

Something did seem different,
right?

I mean, I guess.

Oh, my God.

I don't know, I mean,
do you think she would push her?

I mean, Rachel didn't seem sad
or suicidal

or anything like that, did she?

[chuckles]
No, no, not at all.

[dramatic music]

Guess we just let that simmer
for a little while.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, you need to talk
to Miss Seldon.

But why?

Instead of devoting a section

of the yearbook to The Rachels

you need to convince her
to turn the entire yearbook

into a Rachel Nelson's tribute.

Yeah, I don't know, Roxie.

I.. Honestly, I already thought
The Rachel section was a bit

ridiculous, but Richards
got to Miss Seldon first.

I mean, I'm the one who fought
for the guidelines limitations

and now I'm just, what,
supposed to go back

on everything that I was saying?

Tom, think about it.

Richards is not entitled

to any of this, she's not.

So, this is bigger
than yearbook guidelines.

This is.. It's..

- Justice.
- Yeah.

[exhales]
Okay.

I'll see what she says.

What about you?

Oh, I'm gonna have a little talk
with Coach Lyons.

- Coach Lyons.
- Yeah.

I heard that Rachel Richards
is running for state now.

Yeah, I heard back from
the competition this morning.

They agreed to allow Richards
to run in Nelson's place

as a tribute.

- Is that really fair?
- Fair?

Yeah, I mean,
she didn't qualify.

Why should she be allowed
to run?

She's not running a competition,
she's running as a tribute.

- And what if she wins?
- Wins?

Well, then the race will be
a really nice tribute.

What if on top of that
you also got the team

to wear Rachel Nelson jerseys
as a tribute?

Wouldn't be too difficult to
have some extra jerseys made up.

Right, and-and
if you made even more

we could sell them
for the team.

To raise money.

That's a good idea.

- Yeah?
- Nice job.

[Seldon]
'I don't know, Tom.'

Come on, Miss Seldon,
it a great idea.

Rachel Richards
has already asked

for a special section,
and I agreed.

Yeah, I know but

this would be a little
bit more involved than that.

They're just
focusing on Rachel Nelson.

Look, I-I-I don't wanna
glorify a tragedy.

Oh, we're not, I swear.

Oh. You know what?
Okay, Tom.

If you want to do the work..

The cover.

I'm gonna have to
run that by the main office.

And I'm probably gonna have to
run it through student council.

But if you really want Rachel
Nelson's photo

on the yearbook cover,
it's your call.

You're the editor.

[dramatic music]

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chatter]

[sighs]
It's perfect.

Just throw those away.

[whistle blows]

[dramatic music]

What is this?

Oh, we're selling
jerseys for Rachel.

- We're raising money.
- What're you raising money for?

We're gonna develop
an app for troubled teens

to prevent another tragedy,
like what happened to Rachel.

- I'm sorry, an app?
- Yeah.

So basically
you can like, uh

connect with their followers,
you know--

Whoa! That's literally the
dumbest thing I've ever heard

it's so stupid.

I'm sorry, so everyone's,
everyone, everyone's

gonna be wearing her name.

Yeah. And in state too.

We're all gonna
be wearing her jerseys.

Run for Rachel.

Whose idea with this?

- Roxie, I think.
- 'Mm-hmm.'

[music continues]

"Rachel Nelson soon to
be a social media phenomenon."o

They're starting a tribute page.

Oh, my God.

'She has 40,000 followers.'

[sighs]

I don't know
what you think you're doing.

- Me?
- No, not you.

That other person
in the bathroom.

I am just honoring
the life of a dear friend.

That's all.

We were never
friends with you, Roxie.

See, there you go again,
tryin' to rewrite history

like you always do.

I saw your interview.

You know, when you lie,
there tend to be consequences.

And these are the consequences?

A-a-a stupid dance name
change and some lame app

come on, Roxie,
you can do better than that.

Yeah. Yeah, I can,
and I'm going to.

This isn't over.
I'm not done here.

You once told me
that there wasn't room

at Hills High
for three Rachels.

I'm starting to wonder though,
is there a room for two?

[door opens]

[bell ringing]

- Tom.
- Hey.

- How'd it go?
- So good.

- Yeah?
- Dude, yeah.

You should've been there.

She, like,
did not know what to say

I think she almost cried.

- It was so good.
- Roxie?

- Are you okay?
- Yes, I'm just excited.

Come on. Our plan is working.

I think we're actually
gonna get a confession from her.

What do you mean confession?
Confess to what?

What if she
didn't do anything wrong?

She did. And she will.

Trust me, she will not be able
to stand this much longer.

You make it sound like
we're torturing her.

You don't know her like I do.

She's obsessed
with fame and attention.

This entire thing
is a game to her

and thanks to us,
she's losing.

Come on, cheer up.

Let's go.

Good morning.

Hey.

Is that the yearbook?

Yeah. Well, it's just a mock-up.

Do you want to see the cover?

Sure.

[dramatic music]

She's on, she's on the cover

but we, we've never had
a student on the cover before.

Well,
these are special circumstances.

This is more than
what you wanted, Rachel.

Well, yeah, but, Miss Seldon,
we had this all planned out.

I was up all night looking
for photos

and I.. There's a better one
in here than that--

No, I like this one better.

It really captures her spirit.

- Don't you think?
- 'I agree.'

Well, what about
the special section?

Yeah, we decided
to go on a different direction.

Basically run a chronicle
on Rachel's life

from the very beginning,
so that way

we don't focus
too much on the tragedy.

Actually we're using the tragedy
in the best possible way.

To honor Rachel.

But, Tom,
don't you remember what we--

What's wrong, Rachel?
Don't you like it?

I think it's you there.
In the background, right?

[music continues]

You know what, Roxie..

...you're right.

That is me,
and I think it is perfect.

I'm so glad.

Well, of course, I think
the jerseys are a great idea.

- It's just that--
- What?

I know you wanted
to wear a Nelson's jersey

but surely you don't object to
other students wearing them too?

Well, no, but I-I-I feel
like it would mean more

if I did it, alone.

I mean, I was her best friend

and-and now everyone
is wearing her jersey.

I mean, think about it.

Look, if Rachel is up in heaven
looking down on all of us

don't you think
she might be mad, you know

that all these randos
are wearing Nelson jerseys?

I don't think
heaven works like that.

Well, you don't know that.

I mean, the afterlife
is one big mystery

so who knows, right?

Actually that's something
I'm gonna address in my memoir.

I think you ought to be getting
back to class now, Rachel.

Right.

On my way.

How much deeper
do I have to go?

What the hell is this?

It's the Rachel Nelson
rose garden.

I'm sorry, what?

- W-when did, when did--
- We already voted on the name.

And then we'll call
ourselves Rachel's Roses

in her honor.

- Rachel's Roses?
- Mm-hmm.

- 'Okay, Max this is great.'
- Oh, my God!

I want to make sure
we get a shot of the roses

and especially the kids
working now.

- Sami.
- Over my left shoulder--

- Sami, hi. It's Rachel.
- Hi, sweetie.

- Hi, uh, our interview..
- So..

God, it was such a big hit.

I-I was thinking
maybe we could do a follow-up.

Um, actually, uh..

...the story has
actually evolved since then.

Uh, there's been more and more
interest about Rachel Nelson.

We've got to stay current,
you know.

So, Max. Let's try--

But what if we did
something right now?

'I mean, I-I-I could
talk about the rose garden.'

-'That'd be good?'
- 'Um..'

Well, you're all in black, so--

Well, I'll get a jersey,
uh, Gina, Ashley

do you guys
have an extra jersey?

Uh, Rachel, this is actually
more of cheery

light-hearted piece.

But, Sami, look, think about how
much attention we got last--

Rachel, listen, um..

I have been
getting quite a lot of heat

ever since
your interview aired.

I've actually been accused
of glamorizing teen suicide.

[clears throat]

Who cares?
That's exactly what we wanted.

The story is still spinning, and
it's getting popular every day

so why wouldn't we
do another one?

Think about how much attention
we could get.

I'm sorry, kid.
This is the new spin.

Happy rose garden,
not morbid teenager.

I am really sorry, but
I do have an interview to do.

Okay.

Roxie. Well, hi.

- Hi.
- Sami Summers.

- Hi, nice to meet you.
- We spoke on the phone.

Would you like to
do the interview now?

- Yeah.
- Okay, Max, can we get..

- Absolutely.
- Lined up over here.

If I could
just get you on my left.

Get the roses
in the background there.

'Alright.
Is the hair good?'

No more tears.

No more black gowns,
no more sadness.

[dramatic music]

We are here today because

this is what Rachel Nelson
would've wanted.

There have been lots of rumors,
many of them just sad attempts

'of grabbing at the spotlights'

'so it's nice
to move away from that'

'and do the something positive.'

'Hashtag Rachel's Roses.'

And so the students
here at Hills High School

have found a way to move past

the tragic death
of Rachel Nelson

and find a way
to celebrate her life.

For Channel 11, Action News,
I'm Sami Summers.

[music continues]

[sighs]

[cell phone chimes]

What are you up to?

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chatter]

Ten minutes.

Is there any chance
she wants to apologize?

She does not believe
in apologies.

They're a sign of weakness.

'No way.'

Maybe you should
just stay away from her.

Are you being protective?

I didn't know you cared so much.

Maybe I do.

Well, thank you, but no.
I need to do this.

I'm not scared of her any more.

Okay.

[door opens]

Here she comes.

Okay. I'll find you
after first period?

- That's quite the outfit.
- Thank you.

- You wanted to talk?
- Yeah.

Um..

I realized exactly what
you're trying to do, Roxie

and I get it.

I have been
a complete nightmare.

I've been horrible and selfish.

And I just wanted
to say that I'm sorry.

I really am,
I think Rachel would've loved

everything you're doing for her.

I just, I never, I..

I never really realized
how important friendship was

until she was gone and..

I need you, Roxie.
I need a friend.

I have no one.

'Can we star over? As friends?'

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

I mean..

...yeah.

I also.. I-I thought it'd be
kind of nice if you

came and did
morning announcements with me.

I know it's a lot, but..

...it doesn't feel right
doing it alone, and..

...I think Hills High..

It needs The Rachels.

Sure.

- You'd do it, yeah?
- Sure.

- Let's do it. Come on.
- Uh, okay.

After you.

[dramatic music]

Just press it.
Turn it on and off.

- What?
- You little snake.

You realize that was so easy,
it's almost pathetic.

You want to be a Rachel
so badly, don't you?

But don't you get it, Roxie?

You never were one of us
and you never will be.

- Yes, I was.
- No, you weren't.

Why can't you admit that?

You can't erase me
like you are trying to.

Erase you from what?
The yearbook?

The-the memorial
for a dead girl?

Rachel is the one
that people liked.

She's the one that's
gonna be remembered.

I'm Rachel.
I'm the only Rachel.

And this is finally my time.

This is my school.

I make
the morning announcements.

I am the star of the track team.

And I am going to be the queen
of the Sweetheart Court.

I'm gonna be famous.

Sami Summers says there's
an interest in a reality show.

And then I will write my book

and I will tell about everything
that happened that night.

'I'll call it, "The Plunge
From The Penthouse."'

[Roxie]
'You're delusional.'

You still want people
to believe that she jumped?

Tell the truth, Rachel.

- The actual truth.
- 'The truth?'

Come on, Roxie,
nobody cares about the truth.

The truth is what
you make people believe.

And nobody knows
what happened that night.

I do.

I know what you did.

[Richards]
'What would you like me to say?'

That I lured her out
on that roof

that I waited
for the perfect moment?

'You're right, Roxie.'

Rachel Nelson didn't jump.

I pushed her,
and she deserved it.

[Nelson]
'Well, maybe I don't want
to be The Rachels any more.'

So you want to replace me?

Is that it? Why-why don't
you just call it Roxie?

Sure she wants back in.

[chuckles]

Oh, my God. Roxie?

Come on, I mean, she was never
a Rachel in the first place.

We're just friends with her
because she doesn't have any.

[chuckles]

I just think, you know, maybe
The Rachels are kind of over.

So you want to
do it on your own?

That's fine, Rachel.
You can just have it your way.

- Rachel, wait--
- No, let go of me.

[music continues]

What?

What are you doing?

Confessing.
Isn't that what you wanted?

No, I wanted you
to tell the truth.

And what exactly
is the truth, Roxie?

It's not that you pushed her

but-but that you didn't
try to help her either.

Neither did you.

Um, maybe we should
go back downstairs.

[Richards]
'You know,
why don't you call it Roxie?'

- 'I'm sure she wants back in.'
- Roxie?

[chuckles]
Oh, my God!

'I mean, she was
never even a Rachel.'

We're just friends with her
because she doesn't have any.

[chuckles]

[Richards]
'So you want to
do it on your own?'

That's fine, Rachel.
You can just have it your way.

- Rachel, wait.
- No. Let go of me.

[screams]

I knew you were there.

Staring just like
you always are.

The three Rachels,
together one last time.

[panting]

[grunting]

Rachel! Rachel!
Help me, I'm slipping.

[crying]

Rachel, I'm slipping.

Rachel, help me! Rachel!

Rachel, please!

Rachel, I'm slipping.
Rachel, help me! Rachel!

'Rachel, I'm slipping!'

'Rachel, please help me!'

You walked away from her.

She was calling for you.

- She wanted you to save her.
- No, I was too far away.

I wouldn't have made it in time.

Were you?
Were you really too far?

[Nelson crying]

Rachel!

She was reaching for you.
I was too far away.

I tried to help her.

Well, only you would know.

Rachel, help me, please.

'Please help me.'

[crying]

Rachel!

Roxie, please!

[dramatic music]

Don't call me that.

[screams]

You see, that's the difference
between us, Roxie.

You're in complete denial
about who you are

and what you did that night.

But I know exactly who I am..

...and exactly what I'm doing.

So you confessed to a murder
you didn't commit?

It doesn't matter
because in the end

I'm gonna be immortal.

And you'll still
just be invisible.

You all will.

Everyone is gonna be forgotten.

It's just the way
the world works.

Nobody ever
remembers the victim..

...but everyone always
remembers the villain.

I win, Roxie.

[groans]

[sighs]

You bitch!

[grunts]

[male #3]
'Hey, open up.'

'Girls, open the door.'

[choking]

'Hey, open up. Now.'

'Open the door.'

[coughing]

[gasping]
